Would you share your best work or the best work of others on web design? Why does it work design wise? How about the code? What makes it a great website and what can we learn about it?
Sorry but you're wrong. If you would please re-read my comment you would notice that I stated "100% Flash" (quite literally), If you have a Flash website which has NO alternative content, that causes SERIOUS issues. A site comprised partially of Flash with alternative content to fall back on is a much better option. I stated that I was NOT against the use of Flash, just used in moderation (hence why I said appropriate use). Needless to say that while I appreciate Flash, I wanted to highlight that I wouldn't consider any example that used Flash with no fall-back as a masterpiece (more a lack of consideration on behalf of the developer).
Those aren't the issues you talked about. Apple can't claim usability or accessibility as a reason for not adding Flash because a number of their apps and afaik, all their games, don't have any at all. It's not like the visually impaired have a braille version of the iphone that they can use to play Street Fighter 4 on.
We're talking about web masterpieces here. If usability, accessibility, and compatibility are your criteria, then Jakob Nielsen's site should be at the top of your list. So going by your criteria, here's your masterpiece: http://www.useit.com/
Now Apple's beef with Flash has supposedly everything to do with "performance", which we all know is utter rubbish. So using Apple's biased comments as a basis for an argument against Flash is weak.
The point I'm trying to make is: Let's not forget how much Flash pushed the web as a whole. The web went from ultra-static tabled pages with animated gif backgrounds to full blown "interactive media" sites. A lot of the early "masterpieces" were created in Flash, simply because Flash was, and most of the time still is, the best choice for a richer user experience.
A few of the classics:
Full interactive video site - afaik, this was one of the first, and still one of the best executed ones:Vodafone Journey
A site that gives a little extra if you have blue/red 3D glasses:Barcinski and Jeanjean.com/
Online Promotional Game:Coke Zero Online Game
A graphic classic: basically changed the way video game sites were designed:2advanced (remember when this showed up? everyone went nuts)
A site that was always pushing stuff in subtle ways:Leo Burnett (what used to be a pencil that drew along with your mouse gestures is now a 3D scene with reflections rendered in real time)
Playstaion-quality 3D graphics (basically proved that Flash can be used to build a proper 3D online video game)Ecodazoo
Ecodazoo was built on this Roxik's Sharikura 3D engine
One of sharikura's recent examples (check out the real-time lighting and textures):http://www.verbatim.jp/senshuken/
Let's not forget the countless other sites that used user-uploaded content such as video, on-screen graphics interacted with people through regular web cams, used sound as a basis for on-the-fly graphics generations, etc. etc.
The web we have today has taken tons of inspiration from Flash. Without that platform, we may still be building and designing gray boxes with full loading pages instead of the css/ajax-powered media sites we have now.
Alright, fair enough. I'll give you that.
Now, let's return to the topic?
Non-Flash "masterpieces":
Uniqlo (the site itself is a brand)The Times UK (I thought the revamp was excellent)Somebody already mentioned Jason Santa Maria's site and ALA, so let's skip those...Apple (duh...)Visit Philly (a happycog site)Weiden + Kennedy (one of my personal faves)Information Architects (another personal fave)
I liked the model agency Next Models website:http://www.nextmodels.com/
Done in flash though. Make sure you get deep enough into the site to see a models portfolio, that way you can appreciate the site.
And neither of those changes a thing
narf :lol: So of course on that note I offer an all Flash site. sigh I would never recommend an all flash site for the exact reasons that Alex talks about.
However, I find the Flash animation understated and elegant while the design is and artistry are quite simply breath-taking. I love this site. Its from a Toronto designer, and has only four pages. Yet while thematically related, each is a completely original design. It includes full audio, though I think you can better appreciate the gorgeous sound design with the music turned off.
XLCowBoy, why are you making so many assumptions? What you've said is irrelevant. I never mentioned anything in relation to performance in this thread and my response was ONLY in relation to people who choose to build websites that are entirely constructed using Flash (as opposed to being built with HTML). I really don't give a hoot as to the performance side of things, I care more about accessibility, usability and compatibility, all of which Flash itself poops on in equal measure.
Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3....
You would have to be pretty naive to think "performance" is the reason why Apple decided not to allow Flash on their products.
Ask anyone who does scripts for a living - AS, JS canvas, or otherwise. The only common consensus I've seen among them is (when doing the same tasks on both platforms):
1) Canvass CPU requirements >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flash CPU requirements2) Canvass browser compatibility <<<<<< Flash browser compatibility (iecanvass fix is POOR. Try running processing.js on it if you dare)3) Jobs is lying through his teeth.
HTML5 video is still very rough as well.
I agree that Flash can't be example of good coding, but they can be an inspiration to good design practices. That's why I included one in my list... I think it is good enough to worth that honor
Agreed there, but I think they'll be one of the first to use H.264 when it becomes standard. Then it would be awesome
I'm looking forward to it to. Beats trying to give users a player specific for their machine or making them choose a player like I do.
My best HTML/CSS/SEO/Internet Marketing site is my latest homepage [snip]
It's my best because the coding is efficient and clean (I think) and I spent a long time planning out my keywords and then created the structure of my site around those keywords. I also segmented my content in such a way that I think is very search engine friendly and thus helps me generate more business.
Taylor, please see my post above. This is for what inspires you, not how good/bad/indifferent your latest work is.
Correct. But we also said that this thread should not become a promotion tool.
Because they are a creative and important design studio
***REMINDER: This thread is not for self-promotion so please don't link to your sites unless they trully offer something new and something we can learn from... Be aware that I will remove any link if I think that the page doesn't have a minimum to be on this list. I insist. THE ONLY WAY THAT I WOULD LET YOU LINK TO YOUR OWN SITE IS BECAUSE IS AN EXAMPLE OF BEAUTY, ORIGINALITY AND GOOD CODING PRACTICES. ***
Just a few here to add to the list
I think equilibria is beautiful, nice, clean and simple.
This is flash at its best and in full. You can't take it as a coding example but it looks great. It takes a huge amount of time to load (at least for me) but the graphics are so good that I think it is worth it.
The design is clean and clear. This is a design company.
The name is quite suggesting... but has nothing to do with porn!! This is a design studio, right now they did the TV spots for Skoda.
I don't think any professional web designer would consider a 100% Flash powered website a good example of anything other than "artistic design", especially with the problems that have been highlighted by Apple's choice to refuse Flash on iPod, iPhone and iPad alike. Though I do appreciate appropriate use of Flash.

Karen Katz
About the Author
Karen Katz has always been making something. Quilts, costumes, prints, sculpture, painting, collage, and book illustrations. While attending the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and Rome, Italy, she became interested in folk art, Indian miniatures, Shaker art, and Mexican art. After graduating, she went on to the Yale Graduate School of Art and Architecture where she fell in love with Chagall, Matisse, and Grandma Moses. Her love of folk art and children's art has influenced all her children's books. Before doing children's books full-time, she created costumes for a magician (Doug Henning), taught college, and illustrated and designed for over 50 publishers.
After she and her husband adopted their daughter from Guatemala, she began to devote herself full-time to her love of creating children's books. She is the author and illustrator of over 45 children's books and has won numerous awards. Her baby board books have sold over 3 million copies and her multicultural picture books can be found in many schools and libraries. She has created a line of interactive baby toys with Small World Toys that will be in stores in April 2008. Ms. Katz has lives in Manhattan and upstate New York.
Princess Baby . . . where did that idea come from?
Every project I create starts as a doodle or a scrap of paper. I gather and collect ideas as I go along and save them for . . . well, I'm never sure when I will use them. I keep all my current projects and ideas separated by placing them in different colored file folders that often get doodled on as I sit and think and stare into space, which I do a lot. One day as I was staring into space having a thought, I doodled a one-inch line drawing of a tiny baby girl with a crown on. I wrote Princess Baby across the top of her head and thought, "that's a cute idea." And that was that.
Months later I was meeting with Lee Wade to dream up a project we could work on together. We talked and I showed her some stuff I had thought about and we talked some more and we decided to do an "I Can Help, I Can Get Dressed, etc." series for toddlers. As I packed up my pencils and scraps and many file folders she pointed to the tiny doodle of the little baby princess that just happened to be on the front of one of the file folders.
"What's that?" she asked.
"I don't know, its just an idea I had for book about a little girl who wants to be a princess."
"That's our book. That's it! We will call it Princess Baby."
And that was the birth of the book.
Of course it took months of writing and painting before we had nailed it down, but she saw something in that doodle, some kind of fantasy and charm . . . and I always trust Lee's vision.
Did the book involve special research or travel?
Oh, very special research! I got to go to toy stores and buy tiaras and flouncy princess dresses and wands and jewelry. Of course nothing fit me (except the tiaras and jewelry) so I hung it on all on my bulletin board. I really wanted to wear the plastic princess high heels, but my feet are way too big.
How long have you been at work on this book?
The book took about six months to do, from start to finish. I work on three projects at the same time, so it's hard to really know how long it took. In the beginning of a book like this, I need to figure out who my character is, what she is wearing, what color her room is, and who are her stuffed animal friends. This takes a lot of fooling around and countless mistakes, but once I get it all the rest of the illustrations fall into place. The beginning of a book is hardest part and always takes the longest.
What comes first the images or the words and is the process the same or different for each book.
The process is always a little different. I am a very visual person, so even when I am writing words, I see pictures in my mind. Princess Baby started out as an inch high thumbnail sketch. I blew up the thumbnail drawing on my computer and printed it out seven inches tall. Then I created a painting of the character and worked on her dress and jewelry and crown. Once I had her figured out I started to do little thumbnail drawings of the story, which changed about 20 times throughout the creation of the book. A lot of this book came out of my sketches and a tight collaboration of visuals and words. Lee and I really gave birth to this little princes together.
You have written and illustrated over 45 books, how did you originally break into children's book writing and illustrating?
After my husband and I adopted our daughter from Guatemala, I decided I wanted to illustrate children's books. I had been a graphic designer for many years. For nine months, I painted pictures of kids and anything that looked like it could be in a children's book. Then I put together a portfolio to show. My second appointment was at Henry Holt with someone I had known in adult publishing. She asked if she could pass my portfolio on to one of the editors. There were paintings in my portfolio that represented a poem that my husband had written about adopting our daughter. Two weeks later I got a call from Laura Godwin, a senior editor who wanted to meet with me and talk. We met and talked for an hour about adoption and what my experience was like, what Guatemala was like, etc. She told me she loved my art. Finally I said "I love talking to you, but I'm not quite sure why we are having this conversation."
"Oh," she said, "I'd like to publish a picture book with you about adoption."
I was so elated I could barely act normal. "Great! And who is going to write it?"
" You are," she said.
" But I'm not a writer. "
" Yes you are. I can tell. Just write your story from your heart in your own words."
I went home and wrote the text for that book the next morning. She loved it.
That was the beginning of my career.
I was very lucky to meet someone who had great vision and was willing to trust in my potential.
Do other artist influence your work?
I must own about 1000 children's books at this point. Some great illustrator is always influencing me and then, of course, I have to buy their book. I love kids art, folk art, and outsider art.
Where do your ideas come from?
My early ideas all came from my daughter when she was a baby.
I collect toys, pages from magazines, greeting cards, napkins I've scribbled on, little drawings and paintings, and just about anything you can think of that has an idea connected to it. Everything is a potential idea for me. It's a bit of a problem sometimes because every time I open a drawer in my studio I'm off and running with a new idea. Sometimes hours can go by and I remember that I have a book deadline to finish!
What's a typical workday for you?
I get up around 6:30 am. Get my daughter off to school and usually go right into my studio (a lot of times in my pajamas). I work in a big loft space. Immediately I look at what I did the day before. I try to focus my mornings on my most creative work, which is usually my painting. I am easily distracted so this is what my day goes like:
Look at work from yesterday, lay it out on the floor, check e-mails (a big distraction), check Amazon and B&N Web sites (a big distraction), see what I recorded on Tivo (a big distraction), make a pile of errands to run, make a pile of mail to answer, make a "to do" pile, and throw it on the floor to remind me to do it. Get dressed. Sometimes throw on some makeup. Go to drawing table and work on my current project, and what I do on it depends what stage the book is in. In the beginning of a book, it is thumbnail sketches; in the middle, it is the final art to paint; and at the end, it is the finishing of the book. Sometimes I switch and work on the writing in the morning.
I'm usually distracted at least once with a new idea for a new book. That takes a good hour out of my workday. Around 2 pm, I remember to eat some lunch (and often get out of my pajamas if I haven't already). I am always working on three projects at once, so by now I have juggled a little work on all three projects. After a bite to eat, I switch to writing and doing research. Keep in mind that throughout this whole day I am also shopping on the Internet and talking on the phone and reading a paragraph here and there from Oprah's magazine. Oh yes, and making the bed and picking up everyone's socks and loading the dishwasher (although my husband does a lot of that).
Around 3 o' clock I go outside to get some air and take a walk around my neighborhood. I live in New York City and its very stimulating. It's a little too stimulating, so sometimes I find myself in the art store, Kate's Paperie, or Urban Outfitters for hour and then remember I have to go home and work. I do a few errands and come home. From 5 to 6 o' clock I say hi to my daughter, give her some food, make sure she has started her homework, and prepare dinner. After dinner, I clean my studio and flop on the couch and watch whatever I have DVRed. Lately it's Grey's Anatomy. I read a bit too. Sometimes I go back into my studio and peek at what I painted that day. I chat with my husband, chat with daughter (if she will let me . . . she's 17), and go to bed . . . that's my day.
What books did you read as a child?
When I was little, I actually didn't read much. I played with a lot of paper dolls. I do remember looking at the paintings in an edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales .The paintings of Snow White and Red Rose, Rumpelstiltskin, and Thumbelina. They were very scary, but I loved them. They were mysterious and ornate and fed my imagination. I think that's what a good illustration or story does. What strikes me is that now I am an avid reader and I adore children's books . . . so it's never too late to learn to love books.
Do you have a few childhood memories to share?
I used to go in the crawlspace in our basement and set up all my dolls and hold court there. It was pretty dirty and dank down there, but I didn't know the difference. It was my secret domain. My sister hung out there with me. Sometimes my mom couldn't find us for hours.
I had a very vivid imagination. I used to think someone lived in the drainpipe that was on the side of our house. I used to talk into it. We had a dogwood tree that had one very low branch. I used to jump on that branch and pump it up and down with my foot. As I pumped that branch, Easter eggs came out of the tree . . . in my mind.
I also thought the boogie man lived under my bed. Didn't everyone? But my all-time favorite fantasy was that I had a tiny friend that lived in my pocket. She could fly–and so could I. I could make myself as small as her, too. She came with me to school, but no one ever saw her. I still think that would be the greatest thing ever. To fly and be able to shrink myself down and have a little friend in my pocket.
Did you want to be an artist when you were young?
I think I did. When I was in second grade, we all made posters for the Strawberry Festival. I painted a merry-go-round on mine. I found some plastic horses and had my mom slice them in half from head to tail so they would lay flat on the poster. Then I glued them on my poster right where the merry go round horses were supposed to go. The teacher told me I was very original and talented. She hung my poster up in the front of the class. That stuck with me my whole life. That encouragement.
What kind of hobbies do you have?
When you get to do what I do all day, you don't need a lot of hobbies. My painting is my hobby! But here's some things I like to do, to: I like to read and watch movies, Showtime, and HBO. I like to rearrange my furniture and shop for beautiful sheets and textiles, and pretty plates and bowls. I like to have dinner with my girlfriends. I like to hang out in toy stores and bookstores. I like to sit on the roof of my building in New York City and watch the airplanes go over my head. I love to go to my daughter's basketball games and travel. I like to make soup and I like to sleep.
Some interesting info about me:
1) I work in a loft in New York City in the winter and a studio in the country in the summer. I look out my window and see buildings and lots of people in winter, and I see trees and flowers and squirrels in the summer. I like the contrast of both places.
2) I work in my pajamas a lot.
3) Sometimes I put the potholder in the refrigerator. Mostly when I'm busy working. I'm very easily distracted.
4) I love to sit in cafes and watch people.
5) I love to sit in playgrounds and watch kids
6) I love to sit in movies in the dark and listen to people before the movie starts.
7) I am living my dream. I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do than children's books.

Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu is a contemporary Hawaiian chanter who was born and raised in ʻAiea, Oʻahu.
At the age of 15, Hoʻomalu started his hula career with John Piʻilani Watkins doing various lūʻau and Polynesian shows around Oʻahu. In 1979 he joined a hālau, which became the foundation for Mark's hula education as an ʻolapa and chanter.
Hoʻomalu moved to California in 1979 to teach hula with Tiare Clifford of Tiare Otea in San Francisco. After refining much of his teaching technique under Clifford's direction, he was introduced to Bea and Herb Hew Len. In 1988 they turned over the directorship of their hālau, Nā Mele Hula ʻOhana to Hoʻomalu.
Nā Mele Hula ʻOhana set high standards in hula competitions along the West Coast and in Hawaiʻi. They were invited to the prestigious Merrie Monarch Festival in 1997, where their men placed fourth in the hula kahiko (ancient hula) competition. They returned to the Merrie Monarch each year through 2000. Hoʻomalu disbanded the hālau in early 2002. He continues to teach seminars throughout country.
In February 2003, he opened a new halau, the Academy of Hawaiian Arts. The hālau has participated in many events around California, including the Iā ʻOe E Ka Lā Hula Competition in Pleasanton and San Francisco's Aloha Festival. They most recently danced at the prestigious Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo, Hawaiʻi this past April.
His style is both innovative and controversial, as purists disapprove of the liberties he takes in creating new arrangements of ancient chants. He was selected to perform at halftime of the 2013 Hawaiʻi Bowl game.

That's been bugging me for a week.. Thanks. Works %100
Just a quick tip. Bringing it up because I couldn't find a good solution from googling around.
After following one of the many posts on persistent usb installs, I would lose my changes to /etc/network/interfaces on reboot (it would revert to the default contents).
Based on some brief poking at initrd.gz (scripts/casper-bottom/23networking), it seems you can fix this behaviour by adding "STATICIP=frommedia" to grub's menu.lst. So the relevant entry on my USB stick now looks like:
Not sure if there's a better way to do this, but it seems to be working.Code:title Start Persistent Live CD kernel /boot/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw quiet vga=0x317 STATICIP=frommedia initrd /boot/initrd.gz
That's been bugging me for a week.. Thanks. Works %100

The President seemed quite gallant as he told the press that people should stop calling Susan Rice names and pushing her around and deal with him. This is especially amusing and puzzling since it is starting to seem that she may have been sent on the rounds of the Sunday news shows with limited information in an attempt to shield the campaign from the Benghazi screw up.
Sort of like an after school special on dealing with peer pressure, bullies and the realities of high school.
One wonders if the president is going to take the same attitude with world leaders that speak crossly with Ms RIce in her role as U.N, Ambassador or in the unlikely event that she is confirmed by the Senate for another position before President Obama's administration ends.
She either lied to the public or was totally out of the loop on the facts of the Benghazi situation and either situation is unacceptable for the U.N. Ambassador when she spoke of the cause of the Benghazi attack and the questioning of her integrity by senior members of the Senate makes her an unacceptable candidate for Secretary of State and perhaps even for the job she now holds.
Personally I do not think that Ms Rice is any worse or any better than other members of the cabinet, but I do not think that a confirmation fight is going detract from the real priorities of the country, which are fixing the economy, dealing with entitlements and fixing the tax code and doing those things quickly.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?
For a long time, I actually wanted to be a fly-fishing guide. I spent every spare moment of my youth fishing the local streams and lakes, and I fell in love with being on the water. I became very in-tune with the rhythms of the different waterways and their unique environments.
How did you get started in your field of work?
I was on a trip with my parents to go fly-fishing on the Snake River in Wyoming when I had my awakening. I had spent much of my childhood in the outdoors but for some reason this trip, and the combination of the grandeur of autumn in the Tetons along with the incredible wildlife, made me want to stop in my tracks and make the moment last forever. I remember one morning in particular when we woke up early to get on the river before sunrise. On the way, a bull moose that we all thought was a massive boulder in a nearby field, stood up, shook off the morning dew, and walked slowly into the woods. I was completely mesmerized. I grabbed my dad's Canon AE-1 film camera, jumped out of the car, and, much to my mother's dismay, ran full speed past a Do Not Approach Wildlife Sign. I didn't catch a fish the entire week, but I took my very first wildlife photos. I was thrilled out of my mind.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to photography and storytelling?
I've dedicated my life to this amazing planet we call home, its waterways in particular, because I am in awe of all they have to offer. Water is such a valuable resource, which most people don't give a second thought. It quenches our thirst, is home to innumerable plants and animals, and connects each and every one of us.
I've spent an equal amount of time exploring both the saltwater and freshwater environments but I have focused most of my storytelling work so far on the freshwater side of things since that's where many of the problems begin. For my National Geographic-sponsored project on mountaintop removal coal mining, the primary topic for my photo study as well as my 20-minute documentary short was the adverse effects that mining has on Appalachia's waterways.
This form of coal mining, while very efficient at obtaining coal from the mountain, is devastating the landscape and endangering lives. Almost every major city in the eastern United States is downstream of the 89 trillion gallons of water flowing out of the Appalachian Mountains every year-and that water is becoming more acidic every day due to toxic runoff from these strip mines.
This project did not seek to condemn those involved in the mining; however, it did seek to promote wise stewardship of this planet so that its incredible resources are available for future generations. Questions were asked, sociological and ecological issues were addressed, possible solutions and alternatives were considered, and Appalachia was showcased in all of its pristine glory.
What's a normal day like for you?
Due to the fact that I've chosen to wear several hats in my life, my days, while always busy, vary in details from one to the next. I haven't decided what actually a "normal" day would be like for me yet, and I hope I never do. When I've got a camera in my hand, I'm all business. The days can be long and sometimes blur together, but the reward of a quality image is always worth the wait. Having the world as on office is an incredible experience. When I'm home, I can be found, once again, in the water. Being a professional scuba instructor, who has trained with both PADI and the Global Underwater Explorers, I love introducing others to the underwater world.
Do you have a hero?
I suppose I have several heroes in my life. Whenever I have pursued something, I have always tried to find someone else in the world who I believe has perfected that particular thing, and I try to emulate them as best that I can. Past photographers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston laid an incredible foundation for me to learn from. Others, like the late Galen Rowell and Wes Skiles, have also played a tremendous role in the way I now see the world. Currently, photographers like Paul Nicklen, David Doubilet, Brian Skerry, and Carsten Peter, along with several others have been an incredible inspiration to my own photographic pursuits as they have so passionately devoted their lives to their cause. I've spent much time studying the works of artists of other mediums as well because it is so valuable to try to experience the world through another's eyes.
I also have to mention my mother and father in this list, as they have been such incredible role models and have always provided me with the guidance and support necessary for me to pursue my passions.
What has been your favorite experience in the field? The most challenging?
I have to say that the answer to both of these questions came while I was photographing a recent archaeological expedition in the Honduran jungle. For two of the three weeks I was in Honduras, I was completely immersed in the local culture, living with the Pech Indians on the Rio Platano River. It was an incredible experience to say the least. Several of the Pech served as our guides and poled us upriver by dugout canoe several hours a day to locate the petroglyphs we were looking for. They were an intriguing people to watch and were some of the most competent workers I have ever seen in my life. It was also beautiful to hear them speak their native Miskito language. In the evenings, after dinner, I would bring out my camera and take images of the night sky and the brilliant colors of the Milky Way that were visible due to how far off the beaten path we were. The camera was able to capture colors that the human eye could not see. The Pech Indians, young and old, would crowd behind my viewfinder to see the outcome of each exposure, expressing their excitement for a nice photo by patting me on the back and then shaking their heads in disgust and laughing when a photo didn't turn out very well.
As for the most challenging, that award goes to the first week of this same expedition. We were exploring the headwaters of the Rio Platano, which meant we were in some of the muddiest, most unforgiving terrain I have ever experienced. The 70-plus pounds of camera gear on my back was a bonus that made day three of my three-week journey one of the most grueling of my life. I remember sitting silently in camp that night completed depleted. I was physically and emotionally spent.
What are your other passions?
Scuba diving is a huge part of my life so I dive a lot even when it's not for a project. I'm excited about continuing my cave and tech training and becoming much more involved with the Global Underwater Explorers' ongoing projects. My dive training has been extremely precision-based, which has enhanced my ability with a camera in the water immensely.
What do you do in your free time?
I love hanging out with my beautiful wife, when I can actually catch up with her. I think she stays busier than I do. She has her Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences, so she spends most of her time in the lab ... either there or on the dance floor. She's a ballroom dancer also, so I follow her to a lot of her competitions around the country. Of course she expects me to take photos of her while she dances.
When all has been accomplished and I still have time on my hands, I once again dust off the fly rod to see if I can find a trout that might rise to say hello.
If you could have people do one thing to help save freshwater, what would it be?
If there was one thing I could do to help save our planet's freshwater environment, it would be to ask people to open up their eyes to try and catch a glimpse of the larger picture of the reality of our planet's resources. For example, yes, coal can keep the lights on, but don't you think it's worth examining exactly what goes on behind the scenes to make that light switch work? What if people realized that the mountaintop removal site providing the coal to light up their house wasn't following the proper safety precautions to prevent toxic waste from seeping into the local community's water supply? What if someone's granddaughter in the Appalachian Mountains became extremely sick due to the toxic well water she was drinking? People become detached from this reality because they might live in some affluent town somewhere or a big city like New York or Washington, D.C., but all they have to do is look at a topographical map to realize they too live downstream of all that is occurring up the mountain.
People must first become aware of a situation and then must recognize their connection to it before they are likely to become involved. Hopefully my work, along with that of those working alongside me, is helping to create that sense of awareness in others that will lead to the wise stewardship that is so desperately needed to preserve this amazing planet.

Man Bends Car Door in Half to Save Driver
(NEWSER) – A Minnesota man demonstrated superhuman strength at exactly the right time Sunday. Air National Guardsman Robert Renning, 52, was driving along the interstate around New Brighton when he saw flames underneath an SUV about six car-lengths behind him, reports Twin Cities Pioneer Press. He slowed to get driver Michael Johannes' attention—Johannes' brakes had started to fail as he drove 65mph, and he had just started to smell something odd as Renning flagged him down—but both drivers were able to pull over to the side of the road. Then an electrical malfunction caused the Chevy Trailblazer's doors to lock and trap Johannes inside, and that was when Renning's adrenaline kicked in.

He's widely believed to have been the ghostwriter of the Balfour Declaration.
(Choosing to not use the word "the" is something of a tradition in the region—cough*Balfour*cough).
Some of the British officials who supported the Balfour Declaration were influenced by their fantasies about global Jewish power.
But if he does, the almost 100-year old Balfour Declaration offers some helpful language.
Mrs. Balfour had sent in a great box full of the most exquisite flowers, which she had brought all the way from the city.
It has transpired that the one dream of his life was to hear Mr. Balfour abused.
I undertook the task, however, and I wrote to Mr. Balfour at once.
Poor Balfour was awfully lonely after Chamberlain crocked up.
But Balfour was untiring in industry, prompt and precise in method, and administrative work appealed to him.
And as a business man I think Balfour was fully up to the mark.

Everything except the 'why?'
A lot has been written, spoken and debated about the current, um, "motives" that the death star in Redmond has aimed at the FOSS community, and a lot of speculation has arisen as to which distro could be the next Judas, selling out FOSS for well over 30 pieces of silver.
[Note: The religious reference above does not imply that I think the next FOSS domino to fall will be Christian Ubuntu. On the contrary — if I were a gambling man, I'd put my money on Mandriva. No doubt that Darth Ballmer and the rest of the corporate leeches oozing their way out of that campus off the 405 east of Seattle would love to get a FOSS foothold in Europe, either real or imagined. So my guess is that the hook is baited and they're hoping to reel in Mandriva — but don't do it, folks!]
What's lacking from the discussion, however, at any significant length is "why?"
Speculation runs amok, ranging from a boundless greed and loathing in the corporate culture at Microsoft (from the top down) to scaring FOSS developers and users into submission by the threat of a legal sword of Damocles hanging collectively over their heads. But this is all theory and speculation — great fodder for discussion, but nothing concrete.
[Bear in mind, incidentally, that of this writing — as if someone is holding his or her breath — Microsoft has yet to release the 235 alleged patent violations. As I wrote in an earlier blog, Sen. Joe McCarthy did the same thing in the 1950s, with a list of Communists in the State Department, none of which was ever named. ]
So without any firm evidence — just a hunch based on what Stephen Colbert calls "truthiness" — my guess is that Microsoft's "because" in this whole FOSS harrassment "why" is based on a legal end run that they might try in the courts to reel in FOSS.
Noting the continuous failure of SCO's case against IBM/Novell/Whomever (a case that was over long ago, but SCO hasn't realized it yet), Microsoft's legal tack could be away from suing other companies and convince a court that the distros they've lined up and paid for handsomely translate into an admission, in the court's eyes, that GNU/Linux arguably does violate Microsoft's alleged patents, and the more agreements with GNU/Linux entities they collect serves to bolster their case. As noted on one blog, a writer wrote, "See, your Honor? These Linux companies knew they were using our patents! Why, they even signed an agreement with us saying so!"
The statement above, of course, is nonsense. But the courts and legislatures are filled with nonsensical arguments and nonsensical bills that have found their way into rulings and into law. The clear and present danger here is that, the climate of the courts being what it is, there is a remote possibility that Microsoft's strategy — if this is indeed what they're trying to do — could have, what they call in legal circles, some merit.
(Larry Cafiero, editor/publisher of Open Source Reporter, is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
June 9, 2007 at 4:57 pm
I think the "why" is less of a long term legal prospect than it is a near term stock price propper upper.
Vista is getting awful reviews and the blogosphere is ripping it worse than the press.
If you're a Microsoft stockholder, you're looking for goofy face Ballmer to DO SOMETHING before a handful of companies switch to Linux and a bunch of home users switch to Apple or some other OS like Linux.
I very well might be wrong, but the market is even more brutal than the courtroom.
I'd love to see Tux and FreeBSD's Beastie rip Microsoft Windows' flag logo to shreds. It's going to have to happen at the level of individual users, because lobbyists and stockholders (big, institutional ones) just have too much power.
My 2 cents.
June 10, 2007 at 5:58 am
It's just "Xenix II". Microsoft already bought a Unix, was even releasing it, decided it wasn't feasible, sold most of it to SCO to use as a bludgeon to beat Linux up with. It didn't work, so of course they're going to meet Einstein's criteria for insanity and do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
BEGIN Alternative crackpot theory:
IBM was once a bad guy; then they made friendly with Linux and now they have a halo. Sun was once an iron-fisted proprietary company, then they GPL'd Java and cut Open Solaris loose and now they're wonderful. Many other software companies turn to open source as a last resort, after their profit margins finally nosedive.
What if Microsoft released their own Unix/Linux variant, or – knock on wood – released the source code to Vista under a source-only redistribution license (so they still restrict the right to sell binaries)?
(a) Their profit margin dips 0.001% (because 99% of their customer base couldn't compile "Hello World", anyway)
(b) They need never fear an anti-trust accusation again!
(c) They realize after awhile that the savvy users they still have will more than happily do their patch work for them!
(d) They gradually inherit the FOSS halo.
END Alternative crackpot theory.
June 11, 2007 at 11:52 am
except MSFT is paying the linux companies for the pleasure of colluding with them in this farce, no judge would accept that as justification. As well, both the recent companies agreements have EXPLICITLY stated that the linux distributors do NOT acknowledge any IP infringment, only a cross-licensing agreement.
I don't like these deals any more than you do, but MSFT isn't going to get anywhere with them. As an aside, Novell is actually in the perfect position to sue MSFT right now over their patent claims (MedImmune v. Genentech SCOTUS case)

Michael van der Ham Fall 2014
If there are families of style in fashion, Michael van der Ham is a London brother of New York's Creatures of the Wind and Suno. This loosely linked tribe of assemblers of colors, textures, and prints, lovers of textiles and gently fitting pieces, has struck a chord with women who themselves are assemblers of looks that feel personal to them. It's a market for women with a magpie eye for lovely surfaces, subtle glitter, and things which generally side-step the obvious clichés of prettiness.
That said, the conundrum for van der Ham (et al) is how to present and develop that alternative, sensitive aesthetic within the constraints of the ordinary rules of the runway show. This time, it proved an unequal struggle for the individual appeal of van der Ham's pieces to stand up within the vast space of the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. Several of his dresses—a blue sheath with 3-D flower appliqués, a couple of veiled organza dresses with sparkly underlayers of embroidery with Swarovski crystals, one with a draped velvet top and a gently flared skirt—stood out, nevertheless. But perhaps he'd be smarter to resist the pressure of conforming to the strictures of the total-look runway performance all together. A presentation with intimacy would suit his talents, and the character of the women he speaks to, far better.

Two single mothers in southern Indiana have disappeared in the past six weeks. So far, police have not made a connection between the two cases, but they sound really similar. On August 15th, 27 year old Kristy Kelley, a mother of two left a bar around 1:30 a.m.. She got into her car and headed home to her parent's house two miles away. She never made it home and her family reported her disappearance the next morning.
In the first part of July, in a town just under 20 miles away, Joelle Lockwood, a 30 year old mother of two left a friend's house to walk home and was never seen again. Both women look similar. Both are single mothers of two kids. They are roughly the same age and both disappeared under similar circumstances in the same general area. Kristy leaving in her car is a little harder to imagine. She did leave her phone at the bar when she left that night, but how did the person get her to leave the car or was the person already in her car? Joelle was walking so that is much easier to do. I do know that if a third incident happens in that part of Indiana to a similar single mother that no one will want to leave their house alone. What will also be interesting to see if it does happen again, how quickly a third disappearance happens. There was a 37 day gap between the first two. Will that timeline speed up?

Record run of rain
(Cleveland) - The cold front that arrived in Cleveland Wednesday put an end to 16 consecutive days of rainfall in our area.
That's a record breaking stretch beating the old run in the summer months of 1928.
Tom King with the National Weather Service in Cleveland says we still face concerns for minor flooding in the area due to the saturated ground in many locations.
King says this run of rain is "kind of odd" and hopes we don't see it again for quite awhile.

Hello. I hope that you are well and enjoying life in general.
It was recommended that I bring my situation to this forum. Yes I did search and read a lot of posts but I don't think that I found anything that addressed this specific problem. Or if I did I didn't understand it well enough to recognize so.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not smart enough to understand most of the responses in these forums, so you have to really gear it down for me...
I have a good working site with an index on each page, carried in as an include. I did it like this, from the advice from a forum:

<?php include $SERVER["DOCUMENTROOT"] . "/includes/selector01.php"; ?>

It looks like this, the index being the column on the left:
It runs fine out in the world at the web provider. It ran fine internally on my computer via wamp when the site was the only thing in wamp's www folder.
Wanting to start another site and develop it internally via wamp, I used assorted instructions from the web to create two folders inside the wamp's www folder, each carrying its own site.
The index.php files open fine in Chrome from each folder but the includes are not included:
Somehow wamp can display the sites in the folders inside the www folder, but it can't follow the includes.I've fiddled with this for as long as I could think of things to try, but that's not much because of my limitations.Does anyone have any ideas that might make this work?
I think your problem is that the root folder on your local machine is not the same as on your web host. So you have two options:
The second way is a little more complex, but not too hard; and its advantage is that you don't have to change anything when you upload your code to your web host. Here is a little tutorial on how to set things up on Windows:
Ralph seems to have the right approach but a simple reminder might help you: Using WAMP (or any other canned app like it), you must stay within the localhost directory (www) for files to be available (as links)
The only exception to this if you modify the config/httpd.conf to include config/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf, the config/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf and your system32/drivers/etc/hosts file to create a virtual host (then restart Apache) for your different "websites". If that sounds like too much work, stay within the www directory!
So in wamp, if I want to create multiple sites, I put each site's folder inside the wamp/www folder? That's what I did, but apparently there's more to it than that...
I think that that's what I did with the first three online methods that I tried, although I can't guarantee that what they were telling me to do is exactly the same as what you're mentioning.
I'll try the foundationphp.com method that Ralph referred this weekend. They say to make the folder that holds the virtual hosts to be at the top of the pile; c:/folderthatholdsthevirtualhosts . I guess with wamp I shouldn't do that?
With VirtualHosts, you can put the DocumentRoot of the VirtualHost anywhere you want. Obviously, they won't work as localhost so be sure that you don't use a valid domain name, e.g., I use:
# httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName dk
DocumentRoot W:/DK
ServerPath W:/DK
# hosts
Be sure to run your text editor in administrator mode (Windows) for the hosts file, Apache's httpd-vhosts.conf (and enabling code in the httpd.conf), too, if they're in a Windows protected directory.
Whoa, now this is something I've never heard of...Could this be something that all these sites with all these instructions just don't mention?
How do I tell the difference if the text that I write appears in the files just like any other text?
That's been a major PITA since Vista came out. However, that's a good reason to install Apache (et al - except MySQL which runs as a service) in directories other than Program Files and Windows. It was a well-kept secret (that M$ was finally taking security seriously?) and sure made me change my locations.
How can you tell? Save then reopen and see whether the text was saved.
Well, I went through the procedure outlined at http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache22_vhosts.phpstep by step, inch by inch....and it still cheerfully continues not to work.
I have to think that this is some php thing that makes it work in wamp\www\somefile.php but not in wamp\www\somefile\somefile.php .The site works at the web provider in the Internet.The site works when it is in wamp\www .
The page displays but the php index on the page does not.
. . . . . . . . . . .
I have tried to understand dots and slashes many times, but I am not up to it.
Is there anything about moving everything to another folder that would short out this
. . . . . . . . . . .
Is there some wamp setting that nobody has thought of?
Oh, I'm in Windows XP sp3. I still haven't heard a reason not to be.
I don't know about WAMP but, with the real daemons, you'd simply edit httpd.conf to include the extra/httpd-vhost.conf file (it should be commented out at the end), edit the extra/httpd-vhost.conf file to include your localdomain (as above) and edit your Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file (as Administrator) to include 127.0.0.1 localdomain (for each of your localhost's virtual domains) and restart Apache. It should be the same with WAMP.
Well, yeah.That's what everyone has been saying all along.That's what I've been doing all along, four ways following four people's sites including foundationphp.That's what hasn't been working all along.
Maybe I'm opening the file incorrectly?What should I be typing into the browser to open the internal site?

You could try out the command line in order to connect to your wireless lan and see if that is working or if it is resulting in any error message.
Ok so after downloading Backtrack 5 KDE 32-bit version i installed it to a DVD and ran it as a LiveCD. It worked perfectly, connected using WICD perfectly. Then i installed it to my HD to run a dual boot win7/BT5. After doing this i got the "cannot connect do d-bus" error which i fixed and it connected again perfectly. I installed some drivers for my system (ATI Catalyst Drivers) and a couple other small things that should not effect the system much. Well i had restarted my computer a few times through all of these processes and everything connected so i assumed everything was alright. I shutdown for the night using "Shutdown -P 1" and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and started the system up again and came across the "Bad Password" issue. After spending the rest of last week reading "fixes" to this issue and reinstalling backtracks about 3 times...nothing worked. I removed network-manager, i reconfigured wicd etc. There were about 7 different "fixes" to this issue that i've tried. Finally i came across an article that basically instructed me to force-downgrade WICD to version 1.6.1 instead of 1.7. After doing this i got past the Authentication issues and no longer received the Bad Password error. Now instead i get "Unable to get IP Address" after wicd takes about 5 minutes to get past validation and into obtaining IP address phase. I am about to test and see if GNOME gives me the same problem ( I'm kind of new to Linux so really this is just a guess).
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue? The current wireless card that I am using is a D-Link DWA-552, the AP is a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme-N router.

Hey, sorry for the long time between responses. Got really frustrated with BT5 and took a long break lol. I tried to connect to wireless through cmdline and got an error! When i typed
i get: Error for wireless request Set Encode (8b2A). I tried to figure it out a bit but its a little beyond my abilities for linux =/Code:iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx
how did you fix the "cannot connect do d-bus" error? I get the same error starting WICD but WICD still works fine every-time,I have searched for a solution on the forum but haven't found one.
Sorry if this isn't helping you fix your problem but I can only ask do you know if your wireless device is supported? drivers installed?
Post the output of "lsusb" and "lspci" then we can check if you need to install drivers.
The solution for the D-Bus error is on the Backtrack wiki. Check Getting started -> Basic usage.
This is exactly what im going through right now, and for the past 3 days.
I also went through this kind of hell, and until this moment, and still with no luck at all.
still in hope, that i could make through this one ALIVE!
googling . . . researching. . . asking questions around the universe.
wandering the harsh desserts of the digital world. =)
Im checking this one out later, hope it'll do the trick. Im still on windows right now. and kinda busy at the moment helping my friend on the line about windows 'problems'.

Just saw an article released on bjpenn.com and it got me thinking.
In the past fighter pay has often been a topic for conversation and after seeing the pay release for UFC 155, found here http://www.bjpenn.com/salary-report-...roll-ufc-news/ , who is the most underpaid UFC fighter?
What stands out for me is Joe Lauzon. What made me think this is that he has fought for the promotion 14 times and in his 14 fights has won an "of the night" bonus 11 times. Despite this he is only on a base bay of $27,000 turn up fee yet there are fighters who are IMO earning more despite having less UFC fights and being a lot less exciting.
So my question in this, is Joe Lauzon the most underpaid fighter in the UFC? For this question bonuses are not a factor as this is about base pay but on the other hand could Lauzon's tendency to pick up bonuses be why he isn't getting a bigger base pay?

Historical Perspectives
Tunisia´s Religious Persecution (GateStone Institute) by Anna Mahjar-Barducci 04/20/12)

The new Ennahda Islamist rulers are keeping Ben Ali´s autocratic laws to persecute not only political opponents, but also those who deviate from the required path of religion.
After two Tunisian citizens were condemned to a seven-year prison term for publishing writings perceived as offensive to Islam on March 28, Tunisian journalist Najoua Jo wrote, "In today´s Tunisia, has anyone the right to be an atheist and to publicly avow it? The answer is clear: it is no." It was published by the Tunisian media outlet, Webdo.tn.
One of the two men, Ghazi Ben Mohamed Beji, was convicted for publishing an essay in July 2011 entitled, "The Illusion of Islam," in which he depicted in a satiric way Prophet Mohammed´s life with particular reference to his sexual habits. The other jailed man, Jaber Ben Abdallah Majri, simply published photos on his Facebook page containing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed drawn from Beji´s book.
As reported by Human Rights Watch, the two men, both 28, have been tried and condemned by a Tunisian court for having published documents "of such a nature as to be detrimental to public order and morality." The two men were indicted on the basis of article 121 (3) of the penal code. Beji managed to flee to Europe on March 9 and was therefore tried in absentia. Mejri is deteriorating in prison.
This case is not the only one. A few days after that sentencing, the official media reported that another Tunisian court sentenced a man, Ramzi Absha, to four years in prison for desecrating the Koran. Absha had allegedly thrown copies of the Koran into lavatories at several mosques in the southern city of Ben Guerdane. According to his lawyer, was suffering from mental illness -- a fact totally ignored by the court.
According to the media outlet Tunisia Live, the Association for the Memorization of the Holy Quran and Imams and Mosques of Ben Guerdane, represented by a team of seven prosecutors, "demanded that the Absha´s case be referred to the office of the public prosecutor to ´carry on with the investigation and require that a maximum sentence is inflicted on the accused.´
Mohamed Mars, the press officer representing the Association for the Memorization of the Holy Quran and Imams and Mosques of Ben Guerdane, stated to Tunisia Live that Absha´s crime is "quite significant in principle." Mars added, however, that if Absha were to be diagnosed with a mental illness, "he would no longer be responsible for his act." He then hypocritically stated that he was not willing to contradict the judge´s sentence on Absha, insisting that his association and he do not want to add a political dimension to the case.
The two cases, however, have already a political dimension: they both contravene the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which in its article 18 reads: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance." Nobody, therefore, has the right to be put in jail for his ideas and or profound convictions. Despite international norms that are formally accepted by all UN member states, Tunisia seems now attempting to dictate in what one should believe.
The international media are still refer to ruling Ennahda party as "moderate Islamist". Moderate probably means that it is not affiliated to Al-Qaeda, but since the party -- which has strong ties with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood is ruling, Tunisia is assisting in the repression, violence and jailing of people, whose only crime was to express their opinions. The AFP reported that the number of trials on charges of transgressing morality has surged since the Islamist Ennahda party won Tunisia´s first post-revolution elections in October.
Human Rights Watch commented that this episode is an example of the need to repeal repressive laws dating to the Ben Ali era. This is certainly true, but it should be added that the Ben Ali regime was not particularly interested in going after miscreants, but used illiberal laws to mainly persecute political opponents. The new Ennahda Islamist rulers are instead keeping the Ben Ali´s autocratic laws to persecute not only political opponents, but also those who deviate from the required path of religion.

Each spring, summer, and fall, tiny pollen grains are released from trees, weeds, and grasses. These grains hitch rides on currents of air. Although the mission of pollen is to fertilize parts of other plants, many never reach their targets. Instead, pollen enters human noses and throats, triggering a type of seasonal allergic rhinitis called pollen allergy. Many people know this as hay fever.
Of all the things that can cause an allergy, pollen is one of the most common. Many of the foods, medicines, or animals that cause allergies can be avoided to a great extent. Even insects and household dust are escapable. But short of staying indoors when the pollen count is high -- with the windows closed -- there is no easy way to avoid airborne pollen.
What is pollen?
Plants produce microscopic round or oval grains of pollen, which are used for reproduction. In some species, the plant uses the pollen from its own flowers to fertilize itself. Other types must be cross pollinated. Cross-pollination means that, for fertilization to take place and seeds to form, pollen must be transferred from the flower of one plant to that of another of the same species. Insects do this job for certain flowering plants, while other plants rely on the wind for transport.
The types of pollen that most commonly cause allergic reactions are produced by plain-looking plants (trees, grasses, and weeds) that make small, light, dry pollen grains that are spread by the wind.
Scientists have collected samples of ragweed pollen 400 miles out at sea and 2 miles high in the air. Because airborne pollen can drift for many miles, it does little good to rid an area of an offending plant. In addition, most allergenic pollen comes from plants that produce it in huge quantities. For example, a single ragweed plant can generate a million grains of pollen a day.
The type of allergens in the pollen determine whether the pollen may cause hay fever. It might seem that pine tree pollen, which is produced in large amounts by a common tree, would make it a good candidate for causing allergy. It is, however, less allergenic than other plants, and a relatively rare cause of allergy.
Among North American plants, weeds are the biggest producers of allergenic pollen. Ragweed is the major culprit, but other important sources are sagebrush, redroot pigweed, lamb's quarters, Russian thistle (tumbleweed), and English plantain. Grasses and trees, too, are important sources of allergenic pollens. Those that produce highly allergenic pollen include timothy grass, Kentucky bluegrass, Johnson grass, Bermuda grass, redtop grass, orchard grass, and sweet vernal grass. Trees that produce allergenic pollen include oak, ash, elm, birch, hickory, pecan, box elder, and mountain cedar.
It is common to hear people say that they are allergic to colorful or scented flowers like roses. In fact, only florists, gardeners, and others who have prolonged, close contact with flowers are likely to be sensitive to pollen from these plants. Most people have little contact with the large, heavy, waxy pollen grains of such flowering plants because this type of pollen is not carried by wind but by insects such as butterflies and bees.
"I love springtime, but the pollen drives me up the wall! I start taking my medication as soon as I see buds on the trees."
-- Esther, age 39
When do plants make pollen?
One of the most obvious features of pollen allergy is its seasonal nature -- people have symptoms only when the pollen grains to which they are allergic are in the air. Each plant has a pollination period that is more or less the same from year to year. Exactly when a plant starts to pollinate seems to depend on the relative length of night and day -- and therefore on geographical location -- rather than on the weather. On the other hand, weather conditions during pollination can affect the amount of pollen produced and distributed in a specific year. Thus, in the Northern Hemisphere, the farther north you go, the later the start of the pollinating period and the later the start of the allergy season.
A pollen count, familiar to many people from local weather reports, is a measure of how much pollen is in the air. This count represents the concentration of all the pollen (or of one particular type, like ragweed) in the air in a certain area at a specific time. It is shown in grains of pollen per square meter of air collected over 24 hours. Pollen counts tend to be the highest early in the morning on warm, dry, breezy days and lowest during chilly, wet periods. Although the pollen count is an approximate measure that changes, it is useful as a general guide for when it may be wise to stay indoors and avoid contact with the pollen.

Rolland RomeroTrack & Field, 1931-36
Jumped 49 feet, 10 and a half inches at the Southern AAU junior championships - the best performance by any American in 19 years.
Qualified for the 1932 Olympic team as just a 17-year old, competing in the triple jump in Los Angeles after finishing second in the event (48-10.25) at the AAU National Championships.
In 1936, he was briefly the world's only 52-footer in the hop, step and jump as he covered the distance in the Texas Centennial Games - however, his record was beaten in the 1936 Olympics by Naoto Tajima of Japan.
Romero actually beat Tajima's mark in the Olympics, but it was determined he had fouled on the jump - a recurring problem throughout his career.
Set a National AAU record of 50 feet, four and seven-eighths inches in 1935, a record that stood until 1941.
Also an outstanding football player at Loyola, he was a charter member of the Loyola Sports Hall of Fame (1964) and was also inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 1975.
Attended Welsh High School in Welsh, La., where he was a member of the school's first football team and scored its first touchdown.
Born Aug. 21, 1914 and died on Nov. 25, 1975 at the age of 61.

Thawing OutBy Diana Bruk
Why are there so few courses in Soviet literature at American universities?
When I was completing a master's in comp lit at Oxford, I kept coming across a curious lapse—while most of my British peers had read at least some of the great writers of the Soviet canon, often as early as secondary school, my equally well-educated American friends had never even heard of them. The more I perused the courses of American universities, the more I found that Soviet literature—by which I mean the proverbial classics penned between the revolution and death of Stalin and published largely during Khruschev's thaw—was noticeably absent. There were, of course, exceptions at institutions such as Stanford, Princeton, Yale, the University of Washington, and a few others, which are renowned for their Russian literature departments. But the majority of colleges, particularly liberal arts schools, focused on the nineteenth-century Russian novel and then skipped straight to Nabokov, or even to post-perestroika literature.
This absence struck me as odd, especially given the literary tastes of the Russian reading public. The Russian literati ostensibly admire and cherish the greats—your Tolstoys and Chekhovs, your Dostoevskys—but ask them to name their favorite writers and most will cite someone from this isolated literary isle. They might mention Mayakovsky, the macho darling of the Futurist movement, whose thundering poetry shook his listeners into an acute state of consciousness; or Akhmatova, an Acmeist poet who explored suffering, humanity's great equalizer, with minimal words and explicit emotion. They could invoke Pasternak, whose Doctor Zhivago many Americans assume to be a tragic love story between a man and a woman, when really it's a tragic love story between a man and a revolution, although in Russia Pasternak is celebrated even more for his poetry, especially his wildly experimental collection My Sister, Life. Then there's the lyrical sentiment of Platonov, or the satire of Solzhenitsyn. There's Bunin, Mandelshtam, Tsvetaeva, Zoschenko, Babel, Bergholz, Zamyatin, Bely, Bulgakov, and a litany of other luminaries whose surnames have all but disappeared from university syllabi.
Is this a lingering effect of the Cold War, a symptom of our culture's tendency to seal off what we fear or don't understand? I'm reminded of the horrific looks I got from people the summer I was nineteen, when I decided to read Mein Kampf. They worried that it would negatively influence my nubile and malleable young mind—a concern I found irritating, since I've long believed it's our moral obligation to dissect the most heinous events in history, to use literature as a scalpel of sorts. Was the fear and scorn of Soviet oppression, I thought, part of the reason its literature was kept behind closed doors, even all these years later? Read More

i hate tattoo elitism. you are injecting ink into yourself with a needle to permenantly stain your skin, its not an art form, its what tribes did to mark their bodies to make them look more fearsome. its what biker gangs did to look scary. its what sailors did to represent certain centiments. the one thing that pisses me off the most is when people think they are better than other people because they paid £600 for a tattoo by someone regarded as the best in the world and all that bullshit. its stupid. i know no one has made any tattoo elitist remarks yet, but i know they will come, they always do. at the end of the day, the lines will spread just like any other tattoo and all you have done is pay ten times the price for the privilage, nice
Surely the people who are considered the best are for a reason though? There must be something that makes one artist better than another? The quality of the shading, the "likeness" to the original image, the composition of the artwork etc etc I can't imagine all Tattoo Artists are at one level and that's just it. I can understand people wanting to go to the best for something so very permanent, for piece of mind if nothing else.
Arts art, no difference between a paint brush, a pencil , a spray can or a tattooists needle.
yup, tattoo elitism is bullshit, all tattooists are pretty much the same. i mean, check this out!

You can tell when someone is smart by them speaking their opinions, asking question when they have to, and doing what they think is write no matter what other people think or say............. Grades can help in this department as well, but someone can be smart and have very bad grades, since people are smart in different areas
Their appearance and conversation with you... in this case, how they type too..
I'm a non-believer of the IQ system of assessment... cause it's limited & bias to left brain-ers..
Most are either Streetsmartass or Booksmartass... rarely both though... .............I guess..
the youth of today that don't fall into the trap of drugs, gangs, sex (I have met so many that have had children before age 16) and violence are very smart in my book. They will have a much better future for it.

look at their grades haha

yeah, those people are pretty stupid. they screwed their future.
*hah, i'm younger than them and I know better :-p *
Just ignore everything i\'ve done before August 2011.
high grades isn't a basis of being smart for me.
i think someone is smart if:
- he has a sensible opinion on things and he can support it.
- he can live in the wild without any provisions.. it will be just him and the wild.

Everyone is smart , like I said . It`s the seven smarts .
"Teachers are word smart , therefore , they are smart ."
That's not true in the slightest. Maybe an English/Language teacher is, but not all teachers are word smart. Look at the teacher who taught high school for 17 years who was illiterate.
Having good grades doesn't qualify whether or not a person is intelligent either. Einstein failed school but I wouldn't be one to call him dumb.
Having a good job doesn't also qualify whether or not someone is intelligent. Look at Bill Clinton. Brilliant guy, great speaker, president, but not smart enough to stay away from Monica.
I will agree, however, that how someone interprets and answers a question does dictate whether or not they can be gauged as a fairly intelligent being.
