Beating the Bankruptcy Blues
3 Things That Should Be In Your Will
A will, or "last will and testament," is an important document to have. It is meant to carry out your final wishes but only when done right. There are online templates available, but the best way to handle writing a will is with the help of an attorney. Here are three things that should be spelled out in your will so you can be sure everyone is provided for and all your assets are properly distributed. Guardian for Children If you have minor children or an adult dependent with a disability, you'll need to appoint a guardian for them. Talk with the person (or couple) first, and make sure they're on board. You'll also need to take into account their age and health. In other words, you may feel as though you only trust your elderly mother to care for your little ones. After all, she's the one who watches them when you go shopping or don't feel well. But that doesn't mean that she can raise them full-time if something were to happen to you. You might have an aunt or a cousin about your age that would be a better fit. Guardians do not have to be family. They only need to be a legal adult that you trust, who is capable of fulfilling the role, and who has a genuine interest in your child's well being. You can and should appoint an alternate in case they are unable to be a guardian, if and when the time comes. And you can choose a different guardian for each child if you have more than one. If you have any reason to suspect that a judge may question why you have appointed the person as guardian, you should write a letter that explains why that person was chosen. Asset Distribution One of the most important parts of your will is the section that covers how your assets will be distributed. If you have no idea where to begin, consider asking your friends and heirs what they would like from your estate, if anything. Then make a list of everything you own, along with their value, and who they should go to. It's also a good idea to let your relatives know ahead of time who is getting what so there aren't any surprises. Fighting over family heirlooms is a common problem when a family member dies, and handling this ahead of time can save your loved ones a lot of heartache. It's unfortunate, but some people have family members that they expressly do not want to include in their will. If this is the case with you, those relatives need to be named as exclusions in your will. Otherwise, it's possible they could have a legal right to claim certain items. Special considerations for real property: If you own real estate with someone else, like a spouse, and that person survives, they will usually inherit the property if they have "right of survivorship." But this isn't always the case, particularly if you own as "tenants in common." It's important to consult with an attorney that can advise you on how to handle the distribution of real property in your will. Executor An executor of a will is the person tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that your wishes...read more
How Could a Recent Ohio Court Decision Affect Your Award of Work-Related Disability Benefits?
If you're like many others who live or work in the Buckeye State, you may not give much thought to the "invisible" benefits available to you, like workers' compensation, until you become injured on the job. Not only can a workplace injury cause you to rack up some steep medical bills in a fairly short period of time, it could leave you unable to do your job (or any job) for the foreseeable future. Workers' compensation insurance is designed to ease this stress by paying your lost wages, medical expenses, and other costs that have accrued since your injury. However, a recent decision of the Ohio Supreme Court could affect the type and extent of benefits you're able to receive, especially if you've already made a workers' compensation claim in the past. Read on to learn more about the nuances of this court decision and how it might affect your pending workers' compensation claim. What recent decision of the Ohio Supreme Court changed workers' compensation benefits? In State ex rel. Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Servs., Inc. v Indus. Comm. the Ohio Supreme Court held that an injured employee who had already applied for and received permanent total disability (PTD) benefits could not subsequently apply for and receive permanent partial disability (PPD) benefits for an injury arising from the same set of circumstances. The claimant in this matter was awarded PTD benefits based, in part, on her deteriorating psychological condition following a work-related injury. Following her award of these benefits, the claimant then filed for PPD benefits based on the physical impact of her disability. The Ohio Industrial Commission awarded these benefits, holding that the claimant was not prevented from further compensation for benefits based on conditions that were not the basis of the prior award (even if the accident or injury that led to both conditions was the same). The Ohio Supreme Court reversed, holding that the Industrial Commission had abused its discretion in awarding these benefits and that the statutes implicated in this decision did not provide any express authorization for both PPD and PTD benefits to be awarded to a single claimant. Although the Ohio legislature has enumerated some specific exceptions to this blanket rule, the statutes themselves were not found to authorize the award of both types of benefits to a single claimant; the Ohio Supreme Court therefore found that the Industrial Commission had overreached in coming to its interpretation. How could this court decision impact your receipt of benefits? This decision could have several tangible impacts on Ohio residents who are considering filing for workers' compensation benefits. The first is the inability to receive both PTD and PPD benefits for a single injuring situation, even if these benefits are for different types of injuries. This means that you'll need to make your first (and only) workers' compensation claim as comprehensive as possible, including all physical and mental ailments you've suffered as a result of your on-the-job injury. Even if you haven't sought out any psychological treatment following your injury, it can be worthwhile to consult with a psychologist to ensure you aren't leaving any benefits on the table, especially if your injury is of such a nature that you could end up with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) months or even years later. Failing to include mental injuries in your original claim could prevent...read more
When You Witness An Accident: How To Keep Yourself Legally Safe If You're The First On Scene
If you witness an accident, particularly one where someone is seriously injured, your first instinct is often to jump into the fray to help the people who might have been affected. Being a good Samaritan is often part of good citizenship, but when it comes to accidents, it can actually cause more harm than good for both yourself and the victim. If you happen upon an accident before emergency crews arrive, here are some guidelines to follow to keep yourself out of trouble later. 1. If possible, do not touch injured persons. If an airbag deploys, if a person in unconscious, if a person is stuck, or if somebody is bleeding, it's natural to attempt to remedy the situation and to desire to get get them out of danger. However, accidents, especially those caused at high speeds, can often cause unseen injuries that can be made worse if you attempt to move somebody who is injured. If you feel you must help, it's best to look for a round-about solution. For example, if a person is thrown from a vehicle and lying in the road, he is then in danger of being struck again by oncoming traffic. Normally, you would simply move the body out of harm's way. Instead, you can park your own car to make a barricade for other drivers to go around. If you do move a person and their injuries are worsened because of your actions, in some cases you can be civilly liable for part of their injuries — yes, you could be sued for trying to help. Some states have Good Samaritan laws that protect those with helpful intentions, but they do not always apply. 2. Ask before providing assistance. In some cases, the victims of a car accidents are conscious and able to ask for or decline help. If the person is able to speak, always ask before you lend a hand. You need to get their express permission to do what you are planning to do. For example, if a person is stuck in the car and cannot release their own seat belt, you might say, "I am going to cut your seatbelt off. Is that okay?" Wait for them to respond before proceeding. This way, if you come under legal scrutiny later, you have a viable defense. If the person is deaf, mute, or does not speak your language, be especially cautious, because implied consent is more difficult to prove. 3. Hold off on the first aid. Even if you know advanced first aid, you should not jump into action to provide first response measures unless absolutely necessary. For example, on a busy highway, even minor accidents are easily reported, and response teams are not far away. Your actions simply will not be necessary and can even hinder paramedics who need to get people to the hospital in a timely manner. Things like splints for broken bones, shock positions, and wrapping wounds are just not needed from good Samaritan witnesses. If you slow emergency response teams with unnecessary first aid, you could be liable for injuries that worsened due to your actions. The only situations where your own first aid skills may be needed in accident response include: If the victim is not breathing and has no pulse. Then resuscitation...read more
Tired Of The Same Old Fundraisers? Here Are 3 Fundraising Options That Include Alcohol
Public libraries in Pennsylvania have found success when holding fundraising events that serve alcohol. In fact, one library's annual wine and cheese pairing event raises roughly $10,000. If you are in charge of fundraising for a non-profit organization or are raising money to help a loved one pay for medical care, imagine how many candy bars or pizzas you would have to sell and cars you would have to wash to raise that same amount of money! Instead of going the traditional route, consider hosting an event that focuses, at least in some way, on alcohol. Here are a few ideas. Drink Wine & Paint Host an event in which the attendees become artists while sipping on wine. An instructor will guide the attendees while they recreate a painting through step-by-step instructions. If you organize this event yourself, you'll need to purchase art supplies, hire an instructor, find a venue, obtain a special event liquor license, advertise, and sell tickets. Alternatively, you may be able to find a franchise in your area that specializes in these events, such as Painting with a Twist. You can let them do all the work while you take in a percentage of the profits after the franchisee takes their costs into consideration. Either way, you will need to choose a specific painting for the event. Include a photo of the painting on the tickets that will be sold to get into the door. That way, people will be able to see what they will take home from the event. Also, list the type(s) of wine that will be served. People will be more willing to part with their hard-earned money and buy a ticket for your fundraiser if they know what they'll be painting and drinking at the event. Around the World An around the world party is one in which food and alcohol is served from various parts of the world, such as a wiener schnitzel and Riesling from Germany. This event can be held either as a traditional banquet or as a buffet. As a banquet, staff will serve the attendees while they are seated at their tables. As a buffet, the attendees will roam from one station to the next. Of course, you'll likely need to hire a caterer (or several) for this event. This event can be held in a banquet room, a tent outdoors, or anywhere that does not prohibit the sale of liquor. Attendees will get a "passport" when they pay to attend the event, which will list the countries (or stations) where they will "travel" as they go around the world sampling food and alcohol. Of course, you'll want to limit the number of stops in the "itinerary" so attendees won't get too intoxicated and be unable to drive home. If not, it's a good idea to station a taxi or two outside of the event, just in case someone goes around the world too many times. This is a great idea for a fundraiser because it is more unique and offers an experience rather than just a clean car or a piece of chocolate. Microbrewery Oktoberfest Host a microbrewery beer tasting event that focuses on the choices that are available from local microbreweries. You can hold this event in a large tent to make it...read more
Be Aware — Taking A Whiz Outdoors Could Land You On The Sex Offender Registry
When you have to go, you have to go. Right? Although it's not considered in good taste, it's not uncommon for men to urinate in public when the urge is strong and more proper facilities can't be found. Public urination was even the subject of a funny Seinfeld episode, where two of the main characters Jerry and George decided to take care of their business in a parking garage. But did you know that in reality, public urination could actually land you on a sex offender registry list? And that act isn't the only seemingly minor offense that can leave a permanent mark on your record that could haunt you for a long time, if not for your entire life. Urinating in Public According to Slate, you could end up on a sex offender registry list if you are caught urinating in public in at least 12 states. Why? Because in these states, the act could be considered indecent exposure or public lewdness. And if you plead or are found guilty, you'll need to register as a sex offender. And that means your neighbors, coworkers and anyone else interested in knowing whether they live near a sex offender can find your name and address in the database alongside rapists and pedophiles. Your crime will be listed, but not the important details that will let your coworkers know that your act was not as serious as they might assume. Other "Crimes" So what other relatively innocent crimes could land you on a sex offender registry list? Streaking. While you might think running naked in front of others is a funny gag, you could end up with an indecent exposure conviction. Being naked in your own home. If your door or windows are open and your neighbors can see you and complain to the police, the simple act of being naked in your own home could be considered a crime. Having a questionable picture on your phone. An assistant principal investigating a sexting incident at the high school he worked for had a copy of a partially undressed girl sent to his phone in front of other administrators as evidence. He was arrested on several charges, including possession of child pornography, and was also fired. Fortunately, his lawyer was able to get him cleared of all the charges. Flashing your breasts. Think that only men can end up on a sex offender registry? Then you would be wrong. A woman flashing her breasts or anyone flashing their tush could also be arrested for indecent exposure or lewd behavior. It's important not to take an arrest for any of these types of "crimes" lightly and to hire a lawyer to defend you against all charges that may have been filed against you. Being on the sex offender list comes with many serious consequences. For example, it could seriously impact your ability to get a job or could even cause you to become the target of local vigilantes if they should discover your name on the sex offender registry. New Hope for Past "Crimes" In some states, laws have been passed that will allow people who have had to register for the sex offender list for these types of relatively innocent crimes to fight to have their names removed. In 2014, for example, Oklahoma, just such a law went into effect. Not surprisingly, hundreds of convicted "sex offenders" have now hired lawyers to...read more
Can Dental Implants Cause Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Although dental implants are up to 98 percent successful, complications can occur in a small number of cases. One possible complication that can arise is the trigeminal nerve may be damaged during the implant process which can lead to the development of a condition called trigeminal neuralgia. If you develop this condition as a result of negligence on the dentist's part, you may be able to collect compensation for medical bills and other damages. Here's more information about this medical condition. About Trigeminal Neuralgia Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic condition characterized by chronic pain in the facial area. The pain is often described as shocking spasms that may last only a few seconds or occur on a continuous basis. Typically, the pain only occurs on one side of the face and usually around the eye, cheek, and/or lower jaw. Trigeminal neuralgia can be caused by a number of factors. In the case of dental implants, though, the condition can be triggered if the trigeminal nerve that runs through the lower jaw is damaged during the implant process. This can occur in a couple of ways. The dentist may accidentally cut or damage the nerve while removing a tooth or preparing the site for the implant. The dental implant itself can also be the source of trigeminal pain. If the implant post is placed too deep in the jaw, it may push against the nerve and cause a compression injury (i.e. damage due to constant pressure). Symptoms of this issue may occur right away but be mistaken for the normal discomfort associated with surgery. Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia Damage to the trigeminal nerve must be repaired as quickly as possible; otherwise the injury could result in permanent dysfunction. This nerve is responsible for sending information about pain, touch, pressure, and temperature to the brain. So symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia may include: The onset of pain triggered by Changes in temperature Touching sensitive areas of the face Eating, talking, or brushing the teeth Wind Constant or repetitive stabbing pain on one side of the face Tingling or burning sensations in the face Muscle spasms in the face A complete loss of feeling in the face If you experience any of these symptoms after getting implants, the pain seems more severe than expected, lasts longer than the normal healing time (7 to 10 days) or doesn't respond to the pain medication prescribed to you, contact your dentist right away. He or she can inspect the area using x-rays to help determine if the dental procedure or the implant has damaged the trigeminal nerve. Collecting Compensation for Injuries There is no cure for trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment typically involves the use of medication and various surgical procedures to minimize or eliminate the pain. Additionally, the pain from the condition can increase in severity and occur more frequently as time goes by. Getting compensated for the expense of treating the condition and the discomfort associated with it will be critical to your long-term care. Suing for dental malpractice involves showing the dentist did not perform the procedure according to the standard of care required by the industry. For instance, if the dentist didn't properly study your x-rays and this led to the person cutting your trigeminal nerve by mistake, you could sue for negligence. The...read more
3 Ways To Help Your Children Cope With Your Impending Divorce
Although nearly half of all children will bear witness to the divorce of their parents, kids often feel alone in their pain and unsure with how to cope with the range of difficult feelings that arise. Kids of divorce frequently experience immense feelings of sadness, despair and isolation upon learning about the divorce and dealing with the repercussions of the split union. Mixed feelings are common too, as kids may feel relief upon having a break from household conflict. The main stressors on children are the fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment and hostile conflict between both parents. As you approach your impending divorce, you can mitigate these stressors with the three following tips. Allow Candid Q&A Sessions The ability to ask questions about the upcoming family changes and receive honest answers can ease the fear of the unknown kids often feel during divorce. Although you do not need to go into the exact details of the separation and divorce, it is important to let kids ask questions about the situation and its effects on their lives. With the right support, kids are resilient enough to handle and process bad news. Withholding potentially distressing information forces kids to come to their own conclusions about the cause of the divorce and the outcome for each member of the family. Throughout the divorce, give your children a chance to better understand the situation and grieve the loss of their established family unit and lifestyle. As with any loss, always offer reassurance and promote healthy coping skills to give your kids the best chance at quickly adjusting to the divorce. Arrange Shared Custody The fear of abandonment comes from kids worried about losing contact with the non-custodial parent. The fear is not unfounded either, as more than 1/4 of kids completely lose contact with their father within three years of the divorce date. With this lost contact with a parent, kids often lose their connection to that entire side of the family as well. The best way to prevent this situation altogether is by attempting to arrange shared custody. A shared custody plan will split your children's time between both new households to provide them with the chance to maintain their parental bonds. The time does not have to be 100% equal to ease your kids' fears; they often just need to know that they will have time with both parents on a scheduled basis. Your attorney will look at both parties' proposed custody arrangements to help identify a suitable agreement that will benefit your children's wellbeing. Keep Arguments Amicable Arguments will undoubtedly come up while attempting to handle asset division, custody arrangements and other decisions associated with the divorce. Kids can benefit from seeing their parents argue, but the conflict must not be overtly hostile and needs to have an amicable resolution. When kids see their two main role models hashing out disagreements, they learn how to effectively argue their point and have confidence during conflicts. Introducing hostility into the equation, however, potentially teaches kids to infuse their arguments with disrespect and anger. If you cannot argue amicably with your soon-to-be ex-spouse, only engage in heated topics during mediation meetings. At these meetings, your attorney will remain by your side to assist when emotions cloud your ability to reach...read more
Understanding How A Bankruptcy Filing Could Affect Your Auto Accident Injury Case
If you've been in a car accident and you have a case pending for your injuries, the process can take some time. Unfortunately, if you're not able to work during that time, it can also lead to serious financial concerns. If your debts are piling up and you're struggling to make ends meet, you might be considering a bankruptcy filing. Before you file, though, it's important to understand that bankruptcy could have an effect on your currently pending injury case. Here's a look at what you need to know about how that bankruptcy filing can affect your auto accident case. You Must Disclose the Case If you have a pending accident case, you have to disclose that case as part of any bankruptcy filing. Since there's the potential for a cash settlement in a car accident injury case, it's viewed as an asset to the bankruptcy court. If you don't tell the courts about your case in the initial disclosure, you may forfeit any money that your auto accident attorney may have otherwise obtained for you, and it could even cause you to have your bankruptcy petition refused. If you talk with an accident attorney before you file the bankruptcy, he or she may even be able to work with your bankruptcy trustee from the start. However, the way that your accident case is handled will vary based on what type of bankruptcy you file. Filing Chapter 7 If you choose to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it will significantly alter your auto accident case. Your bankruptcy trustee will become the party of interest, taking over your role as the plaintiff in the case. The bankruptcy trustee will be the representative of your bankruptcy estate, and he or she will have complete control over litigation and settlement negotiations. You won't have any control over the proceedings of the case at that point. Before the bankruptcy trustee can settle the case, the settlement will be presented to the bankruptcy judge for approval. The bankruptcy judge will then order that your creditors be paid first, which could mean that you don't get anything from the settlement at all. In fact, the bankruptcy trustee has no obligation to negotiate a settlement that nets you a payment, because their primary concern is ensuring that your creditor balance is paid in full. It's also important to note that if you file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, any medical bills you incur after your filing won't be discharged in the bankruptcy. This means that you'll be responsible for paying those medical costs yourself. If you were significantly injured in the accident, you may find yourself coming through the bankruptcy case and still facing significant medical costs due to the accident. You won't be able to go back to the other person's insurance company for any more money in that case, because your bankruptcy trustee obtained the final settlement. Make sure that you aren't facing any serious long-term treatments that could prove costly before you decide to add a bankruptcy filing to your pending auto accident case. Filing Chapter 13 Your accident injury case is handled differently when you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This is a reorganization filing, and it's often a better choice if you have a pending personal injury case. Chapter 13 will...read more
What Tenants In Rental Housing Need To Know About Personal Injury Claims
Tenants who become injured in residential properties are frequently unsure of whether they can bring a personal injury lawsuit against their landlords. There is no simple yes or no answer this question—landlord liabilities vary by state as well as by circumstance. Following are four major things that every tenant needs to know about personal injury claims and rental housing. Negligence Must Be Established One of the key elements that must be present in a successful personal injury lawsuit against a residential property owner is the establishment of negligence. For instance, if you slip and break your ankle while navigating the front steps of the apartment building in which you live, you probably won't have automatic grounds for a lawsuit against your landlord unless the injury was the result of a condition that the landlord has been made aware of and has not repaired in a timely manner. This is why it is very important to always keep written documentation of requests for repairs—if you simply inform your landlord verbally that the steps are becoming too rickety to allow for safe passage, you've got no proof of that to offer the courts. Injuries Must Be Authentic In order to successfully sue your landlord for personal injuries, the injuries must be authentic. You cannot, for instance, slip and fall and immediately claim that you were hurt unless you can back your claim up with evidence supplied by a qualified health care provider. You will need to provide the court with documentation of medical bills, lost wages, and any other financial looses that you have incurred due to the accident. In some cases, you may also be able to claim emotional distress, but this type of lawsuit is tricky and requires the assistance and guidance of an experienced personal injury attorney. The Injury Must Not Be the Result of Abnormal Behavior If you or a guest has been injured while on rental property and wish to file a personal injury lawsuit, it will need to be established that the injured party was behaving in a normal, reasonable manner. For instance, if the injury was caused by jumping up and down on the steps, you probably won't be able to file a successful personal injury lawsuit even the if steps were in dire need of repair at the time. Unauthorized activity such as attempting to climb over a fence which consequently breaks and causes injury is also extremely unlikely to be valid cause for a lawsuit. Tenants May Be Liable in Some Cases If the conditions of your lease state that you are liable for certain maintenance tasks, you will probably not be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against your landlord if you have become injured as a result of your own failure to adequately perform these tasks. For instance, if your lease states that you must maintain the yard, you won't have a case if you trip and fall over a blackberry vine that has grown out of control across your path. Furthermore, you may even face legal liability for this type of circumstance if a visitor should trip over the blackberry vine and sustain an injury. For this reason, it is very important for you to read and understand your lease as well as to adhere to any maintenance...read more
How To Know If You're At Fault After A Slip And Fall
If you've been injured after falling on someone else's property, you might want to know if you have a case. While many people assume that the property owner should always be held accountable for slippery floors and uneven pavements, this isn't an accurate generalization. Sometimes liability rests on the owner, but occasionally it lies with the injured party. When you can distinguish between the two, you'll have a better idea of whether or not you're entitled to compensation. Property Owner's Liability Determining fault in a slip or trip and fall case starts with establishing liability. You see, when you boil liability down to its basic elements, stores and other establishments have a duty to maintain a safe place for people to shop or otherwise hang out. In order to legally point the finger at the business after an injury, one of the following conditions must be proven: 1) The owner of the property, or one of their employees, must have done something to cause the floor or ground to become damaged, wet, worn, or torn. For example, suppose a grocery store employee accidentally cuts a water hose in the produce section, leaking water everywhere. Down the street at the drug store, a shopper spills her beverage in the magazine aisle. In the first scenario, an employee caused the floor to become slippery, whereas in the second scenario, a customer did. 2) The owner or employee must have known about the dangerous situation and done nothing about it. Suppose out of fear of getting in trouble, the grocery store employee from the above example tells no one about the leak, and fifteen minutes later, a customer falls and breaks her leg. The store would likely be held liable because the employee knew yet neglected to clean it up. Meanwhile, at the drug store where the customer spilled her beverage, the store's employees don't clean up the spill because they don't know about it. If an injury were to occur, the store may not be liable. 3) The property owner should have known about the condition of the floor or ground because any reasonable person would have seen it or noticed it. If a customer spills a drink and a reasonable length of time goes by, the store could still be held accountable, even if the owner or employee didn't cause or know about the spill. But in some cases, even if the store causes the slippery floor, they aren't always at fault. In this lawsuit, a customer slipped on a pot sticker, falling and injuring her tailbone. Because employees had been passing out food samples, the plaintiff's attorney argued that the store should have conducted frequent floor inspections. But the court actually sided with the store, saying that performing hourly inspections was sufficient. Your Liability A personal injury attorney might ask the following questions about your involvement, state of mind, and even sobriety at the time of the accident in order to determine if you're the liable party. 1) What was your reason for being at the scene? This may seem like a silly question, but in order to have a case you must have had a good reason for being in the area where the injury occurred. Not only that, but the property owner must have had a reason...read more

focusin is one of the events supported by SVG1.1
however the mozilla implementation isn't working.
URL tested on earlier version as animateColor may not be supported currently
events not implemented at all.
#1 Takeshi,
thanks for your input, you may wish to consider opening a separate bug.
this bug refers to declarative animation.
My apologies if this was not clear.
alternatively it may be sensible to widen the scope to include scripting as in onfocusin as well as declarative animation as in focusin.
Gecko doesn't support the declarative animation at all currently .
see bug 216462.
If you want this bug to refers to declarative animation, "Mark the bug as duplicate of bug #216462"
bug 216462 is a tracking bug.
in fact some aspects were supported see comment#0
original URI
tested and working in camino Version 2005042806 (0.8.4Int)
there may also be a regression bug for declarative animation support
please move script bug if you dont believe they are related
I felt that as they both concern keyboard navigation there is some sense in maintaining a tracking bug.
Created attachment 256774 [details]
part-works in camino 8.4
#5 attachment was taken from original URI for this bug see #4
(In reply to comment #4)
> there may also be a regression bug for declarative animation support
There is no regression at all. Because the declarative animation has not been implemented.
And Camino 0.8.5 does not support SVG.
You may confuse native support with plug-ins.
thanks for your patience and comments.
you may well be right, unfortunately I cannot tell.
normally asv is indicated when ctrl+clicking in the dropdown menu.
this isn't the case.
How would I check?
this declarative animation code has been around a while.
why was it never implemented?
(In reply to comment #8)
> How would I check?
Type "about:buildconfig" to the location bar. If you find '--enable-svg' in that page, native SVG support is enabled; Otherwise diabled (i.e. plug-ins used).
tried that in Version 2007021902 (1.2+)
--enable-svg isn't present, though SVG is native...
If the W3C is going to deprecate the DOMFocusIn and other events, then we probably shouldn't fix this. However, we should add support for 'onfocus' and other attributes.
Spec text for onfocusin etc. can be found here FWIW:
Created attachment 451004 [details]

moving to DOM as whilst the effect is SVG the cause is DOM

When was the last time you took a real hard look at your new account acquisition activities?
If you're like most sales reps, you might be doing the same things, over and over again out of habit.
Here are 5 very simple things for you to do that can help increase your success.
Take a look in your CRM, spreadsheet or whatever you use to track your activity when hunting new business.
Answer this question . . .
"What else besides the phone and email are you using to get their attention?"
That might be a major part of your challenge right there because if all you're doing is calling and emailing, you get to blend in with a kazillion other people.
Also, everyone has their preferred communication platform and/or way to get their attention and the phone/email might not appeal to them. Oh, and your preferred method of contact isn't necessarily theirs.
Check your frequency of contact
I often see people go to crazy extremes with their prospects from calling them way too much to calling not nearly enough to the point that they are non existent in their prospect's eyes. Where are you on the call frequency continuum?
Do you occasionally tape your end of your phone calls?
If you don't . . . you should!
Every professional sports team video tapes their games and then review them to get better at their next game.
Listen to your tapes (bonus points if you bring your journal along for the ride) and listen for things like the quality of your message, specifically if it was compelling enough. Did you sound confident? How were your "um's, you know's etc"? Did you talk too fast, too slow? How did you handle objections? Where did your call get away from you? Where did you lose control? What did you do right that needs to be repeated and what could you have done better?
Use a webcam
Use the webcam on your laptop to video yourself from time to time. How you look is how you sound so . . . Were you smiling, did you look nervous or uptight? Did you look like you were struggling or did you look like you were in control?
This brings us to our final suggestion and it's one that you've heard so many times that you probably don't do it.
Use a mirror
Keep a mirror on your desk and when the dude/dudette staring back at you looks like they're having a bad day, that's what the dude/dudette on the other end of that phone will hear. I would imagine that the same holds true for when that dude/dudette smiles back at you
So there you have it . . . 5 very simple things you can do and just for the heck of it (and no extra charge) here's a bonus tip . . .
The 5 tips work brilliantly when you stop saying "I know that" and you actually do them.
Wishing you incredible success!

Dear Ben and list,
Thank you, Ben. I knew I could depend on you to not only have access to knowledge, but to be the source of knowledge regarding gene naming.
RE:>>Any questions? just ask.
I understand your naming convention as illustrated for naming white (whi) flowers, with one question; would using the Latin term "albus", and shortening it to "alb" make any sense? The gene for white flowers would be either "alb", "ALB", or "alb+" as a starting point, with albA, albB, albC for locus #1, #2, #3, etc. (as you descrived for sieboldii alba, yingeri, and rectifolia), and albA1, albA2, albA3, etc. for the alleles (later to be the identified nucleotide sequences) found at each locus. If it were later discovered that the gene(s) involved were already identified and named, a choice could be made at that time whether to adopt the the pre-existing naming convention.
Using a Latin name for as many phenotypic traits as possible might enable newly identified genes to be more easily cross-matched against existing plant gene databases. That's where is seems to make sense to study the currently existing plant genomic databases. Has someone already established names for leaf color genes and alleles? Or maybe they would be so unique in Hosta that it doesn't make any sense to worry about it at this point?
Apparently, for many Isozymes, names already exist and have been identified in Hosta, as listed in the research of Myong Gi Chung, in his paper "Spatial genetic structure among Korean populations of Hosta minor and H. capitata (Liliaceae)", published in Botanical Bulletin of Academia Sinica, Vol. 37, 1996. Phosphoglucomutase (PGM), phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI), diaphorase (DIA), etc. which are listed as Alleles, have representative names of Pgm-1, Pgm-2, Pgm-3[a], Pgm-3[b], Pgi-1[a], Pgi-1[b], Pgi-1[c], etc. Again, I know just enough about this to be dangerous but I think there is no use in reinventing the wheel, if that can be avoided. Maybe this naming convention was only used this one time?
At this point, I'm trying to determine if there is anyone else, in addition to Ben, who has some interest in gene mapping, and to see if there is a common ground for naming the genes and alleles for phenotypes that are already known. IOW is there an "International Hosta Genome Executive Committee" and if not, who has an interest in starting one?

Take ten minutes or so out of your day and listen to this interview with Leach yesterday about the proposed substitution rule. It's an absolute tour de force.
Category Archives: Mike Leach. Yar!
"Why are we manipulating the rules?"
Filed under Mike Leach. Yar!
"Speak up, Coach. I can't hear you over the crowd noise."
This story (h/t Doc Saturday) is chock full of awesome.
"I can remember in the third quarter, he's pulling his cell phone out," Harrell says of Texas Tech's 2007 loss at Texas. "He always talked to me between series, so he's talking to me and he pulls his cell phone out and he called the Big 12 commissioner. He's like cussing out the Big 12 commissioner, telling him like, 'These refs are screwing us. You better watch my post-game press conference because I've got some stuff to say.'"
Wouldn't you have loved to have seen an enraged Mark Richt whip out a cell phone and call Mike Slive after the second targeting call in Nashville?
Filed under Mike Leach. Yar!
Of all the things to get on Mike Leach's case about…
Paul Petrino bitching about Wazzou putting its defensive starters back in at the end of the game to try to preserve its first shutout in a decade is about the last thing I would have picked. I mean, crap, just score, you know?
Although it means we get treated to this classic moment of postgame comity:
Filed under Mike Leach. Yar!
Tuesday morning buffet
Another day, another buffet line to negotiate.
- So, Spurrier advises Richt 'Do not under any circumstance take the Georgia job'. In 1991. I'd love to know the context of that quote.
- Is there bias in the preseason rankings?
- Glad you like those jerseys, Arkansas State.
- Josh Kendall takes a look at South Carolina's linebacker play against Georgia. It isn't pretty.
- If you're the Georgia equipment trainer and Todd Gurley wants something, don't argue.
- Salty Gamecock tears are quite tasty, you know.
- Craig James, doting father or schmuck? You decide.
- Chip Towers thinks the special teams' problem with dropped snaps stems from Nathan Theus snapping with more velocity than Ty Frix did.
- Bill Snyder is one classy dude.
- So is Mark Richt.
Don't mess with Texas.
Judge knocks out remaining claim in Mike Leach's suit against Texas Tech. That sucks for entertainment purposes, but at least we've still got Leach's suit against ESPN to look forward to.

"He was literally crying at practice."
I can see how what happened to Adam James scarred the management at Texas Tech permanently.
Former players have come out and told CBSSports.com that Gillispie broke NCAA rules by not adhering to practice limits. He once went eight hours in a single day. NCAA rules stipulate you can't practice more than four hours per day or 20 hours per week.
"We practiced a lot more than 20 hours a week," former guard Kevin Wagner told CBSSports.com.
"We used to go more than four hours all the time," added Jaron Nash, who transferred to North Dakota after last season. "I remember that day when we went almost all day. We didn't leave until 9 p.m. or so. It was pretty bad. A lot of guys were really hurt after it. One guy had a stress fracture in both legs."
One source identified that player as African native Kader Tapsoba, who did not play last season while dealing with multiple stress fractures.
"He was literally crying at practice," said the source, who was with the program last season. "He couldn't even run and Gillispie had him running up and down the steps at the arena. I remember the doctor getting the X-rays back and coming to practice and telling Gillispie it was really bad. He'd just ice him up and tell him to go practice."
"He shouldn't have been practicing," he added. "But he bullied everyone, including the trainer. He'd make the trainer make kids come back. Bodies were dropping like flies. One day I walked in and the whole team was in the training room. All the players and even the managers. He'd make them practice."
I can't wait to hear ESPN's take on this.
Filed under Mike Leach. Yar!
Mike Leach on the balance "myth"
He's said things before like what you'll hear beginning at the 1:27 mark.
The transcript is here. It's good stuff.
"Balance, whether you run it or throw it, is getting contribution from all the skill positions. Ours is a balanced offense. The wishbone is a balanced offense. Some I-tailback offense, it may be a great offense, it may be great for the team that they play for, where you're giving it to the back 40 times. There's nothing balanced about it. It doesn't even add up to balance. We try to be balanced based on contributions by all the skill positions."

A little update.
havent been on in a while due to computer problems. Anyways I have started working a large show stable I clean and water/feed 26 horse stalls. I also just purchased a reining saddle for $700 but I need about $380 to pay back my debt. I am being payed $9 an hour at the barn and just breaking even with board and 1 or 2 lessons a month. I also have some other crazy fees to pay. I am currently considering taking a second job after school. I am not sure what yet. I was thinking exercising horses,grooming help, photography,sewing. I have some non horsey skills aswell. Champ is doing so much better and we almost ready for show season just a couple touch ups!
Sorry for the ramble just thought I would give an update

The Song Of Mary
Christian Christmas Devotional
Read: Luke 1: 46-55(NKJV)
Mary was a well-chosen vessel who God used to be the Mother of Jesus. She had a humble, gentle and quiet spirit, and she accepted in humbleness the will of God for her life. She didn't regard herself or the difficulties and hardships she would have to endure by carrying the Messiah. She rejoiced! She felt honoured by God for Him to choose her, 'a lowly maid servant'. She exalted the Lord and praised His name.
In her song, she speaks of God's holiness and mercy - of God bringing down the proud and exalting the humble - filling the hungry and sending the rich away empty handed. Mary's description here is of a just and caring God whom she loved and worshipped.
Though Mary was a beautiful woman of God and the Mother of Jesus, it was never intended for us to have her as an object of our 'worship', or considered 'deity'. Yes, she was incredibly blessed, and we should have respect for her, but not to worship her. She gave birth to the one who deserves our praise and worship.
This Christmas as we reflect on Jesus, let us also consider Mary, and give thanks to God for her willingness to do the Father's will - without hesitation!
© By M.S.Lowndes
Mary's song reflects a heart
Humble and willing to yield
To the call of God to bring forth
The Saviour of the world.
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end." ...Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. - Luke 1: 30-33 & 38

Project Budget$250 - $750 USD
Total Bids21
Project Description
I am looking for someone to write an online golf tee time reservation portal. This is similar to Activegolf, ezlink, [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], Click4teetime.com. Looking for a website that will allow golf booking tee times, search location and build social profile where member can interact. The idea behind website is giving golfer the ability to book a tee time and search for nearby golfer with similar skill level and available to play. The website will link golfer with other golfer and also book time available. The idea is if someone wants to play a round of golf and don't want to play alone they can search for nearby golfer who are available to play at the booked golf course which is why I need a basic member profile. Something similar to a dating site in the sense of connecting golfer base on profile (handicap skill set) and available (online / available) indicate tab.
The program should be modern and configurable with an admin back end here are some of the features needed...
1. Web-based displays that allow users to view and/or reserve tee times online.
2. The ability to build profile : name age handicap Picture and brief message
3. The ability for users to edit/delete tee time reservations and profile.
4. The ability to password protects tee time reservations.
5 Membership/User registration systems
6. Optional use of accepting payment for the online booking.
7. The ability to search for available tee time at different golf course in the US and Canada.
8. The ability to search for nearby golfer who is available in the area.
9. The ability to view the tee time schedule in "administrator mode" which gives the administrator the additional ability to:
- See the full details of any reservation.
- Edit/delete any reservation.
- Block out some or all tee times on specific dates.
- Clear all tee times on specific dates.
- The ability to set the tee time sheet in display only mode.
- Generate a "printable" view of the tee time schedule for specific dates.
- The ability to configure different time ranges for weekdays and weekends.
- The ability to configure the number of minutes per tee time reservation slot.
- The ability to configure the reservation field names.
- The ability to configure various display preferences such as colors, fonts, images, and labels.
- An option to allow "standby" reservations.

- - New 10g Filter (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/new-10g-filter-19287/)
New 10g Filter
I have a 10g and i have kept the old filter. it has been 7 years! It has started to rattle off and on and i thought i would treat my-self to a new filter. Does anyonehave any suggestions?
P.S. The tank is a guppy breeding tank.
Many people here like the bio wheel filters by marineland. Aquarium Power Filters: Marineland Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filters I use them, and my water is crystal clear in my 10 gallon.
If you're planning on using the tank to breed guppies, I suggest a sponge filter. I have a big sponge filter in my 10g guppy breeding tank. The fry love to pick at bits of stuff that has collected on the sponge, plus there's no worries about the filter eating the fry.
Ooh, yea batman is right. xD It didn't click in my head about the fry possible being sucked up.

text: I just bought a Kobalt breaker bar from Lowes. I needed a breaker bar and went to Sears and didn't really like the Craftsman one they had and wasn't sure how the quality of the Companion or whatever brand they sell thats also their own brand was. It was only $12 so I almost bought it but decided to go check at Lowes too. Well they had a Kobalt for $25 that I liked so I got that. I was thinking the only nice thing about Sears was the lifetime warrenty. I've had a few Kobalt tools but not many but have been happy with what I have had. Well I noticed when I got home it said on the package Hassle Free Lifetime Warrenty. I hadn't paid attention to this in the store so I got to wondering. Will Lowes just exchange it for you or do you send it off or how does it work? I just wondered if anyone had to exchange a Kobalt tool and how it worked.

With So Many Governmental Laws To Break As We Have On The Books Nowadays,Were you informed that right now within time, that the the probability is greater that you will be involved in breaking the law than they have at any time already been? This is because we have now far more governmental laws as opposed to we've actually had. Far more legislation equals a much larger occurrence regarding legislatures breakers. Though it has been said that "lack of education in the legislators is no defense," we have now possess so many laws around the publications that it's almost not possible for anybody to keep up with them all.
The likelihood is wonderful that you and also other individuals that you understand are actually legislation breakers, although wanting to accomplish that is rarely further by their thoughts! It's because of this, and then for any governmental laws you may inadvertently break, it's a good plan to hold the number associated with a good criminal lawyer with your own databank, just in case you really need to give him a call within the police station at some point!
How to identify an excellent Los Angeles criminal attorney? Usually, through his or her practical knowledge. If perhaps they have been around for a while, and possess a range and also duration of practical knowledge, they can be probably worth looking into. Look to determine what number of their own cases they happen to win. That's the key, simply because no one wants to be represented using a loser.
Become as careful as possible encountering your current typical life. Don't destroy any person, never rob a bank, plus whatever you do, do not pull the actual marking off your current bed mattress! If however some thing takes place and you see that you are experiencing legal charges, bear in mind not to express a thing in addition to that you wish to speak to your law firm. After that call him up!

This guy made me feel confident that he knew exactly what he was doing. The day I walked in his office, I was amazed by his confidence in himself. He prepared me for trial and the fee that it would cost. Ultimately he got my case dismissed before trial and told me to keep the trial fee. I was stunned that he was NOT a money hungry lawyer trying to take his clients for every penny. He saved me trial fees which was actually my mortgage payment. I can not thank him enough. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a honest, efficient and knowledgeable attorney.

I had came to Mr. Robert Guest back in October of 2008, with a criminal case that had been filed against me. And i asked Robert to please help me beat this case. And he assured me that it will nto be a problem and that he can have the case dismissed as long as i pay the fees that were owed. So i tried to gather the money as soon as i could but i found my self losing my faith and almost gave up. But Robert Guest still hung in there and kept his word. He was dedicated and kept me informed on everything that had been going on through the whole process. And i am truly grateful to have him represent me as his client. I had broken my agreement the first time and instead of Mr. Guest turnign his back on me and letting me get the punishment that i had coming and still fought it out until the end. So as of today he got my case dismissed. Thank you so much Mr. Robert Guest.
Thank You,
LaToya Y.

Mr. Guest started with a very thorough interview of my case. Unlike every single one I spoke with prior to hiring him, he showed compassion and care about my case, told me his thoughts right away and his plan of action. Well my case was complicated and he immediately followed through with his plan. My case is now closed and the results were better than I ever expected. If I ever know anyone who needs a criminal lawyer or need one myself for family law, etc, I will call him and only him!! You will be lucky to have him represent you. Absolute tough lawyer and gentleman!

I recently had Robert Guest help me resolve a legal issue. He was amazingly helpful and knowledgeable about the law, and he helped me get an expunction. It was great. The staff is great. Ana, his assistant, is on top of things and really helped keep me informed. Thanks, Robert!
Posted by A Morrison
Superb work. Excellent work ethics. No stone is left unturned. Willing to go the extra mile. Unbelievable odds on this case - unprecidented win! Dont let his calm, cool and collected demeaner fool you. When push comes to shove the bullldog appears! I have no knowledge of the court system, Robert did everything for me the entire way. Robert is the attorney everyone should hire.

I had a problem with a small town cop who decided that whenever he saw my car I must be drunk. Two DWIs in 2 months, and I was basically screwed. Considering I'd never had anything more than a traffic ticket, I was pretty ignorant of the entire process.
Not only did Robert keep me informed every step of the way, but I was found not guilty and never even had a second thought that I was in any danger of being prosecuted.
If you find yourself in any legal trouble in the Dallas area, I'd highly recommend giving him a call.
Posted by Sheila
I would most definitely recommend Robert Guest to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and he got the results that I desperately needed, quickly!
Robert Guest is simply the best!
Posted by Dave
Mr. Guest provided excellent representation of my interests. Not having been through the divorce process, Robert took time to explain and advise me on every step. His familarity with the court and judge was a definite plus. His willingness to littigate, since many divorce lawyers are somewhat intimidated with the courtroom process was a definite advantage. In the end, the court appearance was handled so professionally and smoothly, that it was a pleasurable conclusion. I would definitely recommend Mr. Guest to anyone requiring representation in Kaufman county.
I am proud to fight for the freedom and liberty of my clients. No matter what you are charged with I am ready to help.
