To be efficient, in my eyes, it must affect the layout - how else can the user see which regions are editable and which are not? But that's of course not the point wether it does belong to CSS or doesn't. Perhaps CSS is just as bad a place for a contentEditable property as HTML is. As far as I see on the CSS3 Roadmap, forms are out of the scope of current CSS3 development, probably because they have to wait for XForms 1.0 to become quite mature. > > What you desire can already be done using DOM in many browsers, > though not > > as comfortable as in IE5.0+. > I don't see how this is possible in any browser other than IE5.5+ Simply modify the document using DOM via ECMAScript. use Document.createElement() to create an element, use Element.appendChild() to append an element...

Maybe an XForms attribute, like this: <h2 xforms:contentEditable="true">Heading</h2> And I think it is, at least in the near future, a good idea to request support of that attribute in all user agents. But HTML as such is designed for a wide variety of user agents, from small handies over PCs up to mainframes. This would give XForms a new dimension of interoperability. It would be really great to see such a kind of improvement in XForms. But there still is an unclear point: How to allow the user to add new elements like <strong/> or <code/> to the result tree?

I think you didn't understand what I meant. Please read it again, especially "WYSIWYG" :) This would mean that a user agent that understands the HTML and XForm namespaces can, given a HTML Schema, allow the user to edit valid HTML in a WYSIWYG environment much comparable to a WYSIWYG text processor. Please tell me if it's still unclear. Greetings ChristianReceived on Tuesday, 8 January 2002 14:09:53 UTC

Miniature Donkey with Prosthetic Leg Living Life at Lightning Speed
Emma the miniature donkey does not know the meaning of the word, "Can't."
Fun-loving Emma, who proudly dons costumes at times and has acquired the name of Derby Donkey for her display of lightning speed in the pasture, could teach many humans about living life to the absolute fullest.
"Her everyday hijinks keep me entertained," Emma's owner and Auburn University Veterinary Clinic equine surgeon technician Cece Smith said. "Her personality, on a scale of one to 10, is like a 13-14. She's over the top."
Born April 24, 2012, Emma entered the world without the ability to use her right hind leg as the result of a flexural limb deformity.
"Specifically, a flexural limb deformity is a deformity resulting in the inability of the animal to use that leg effectively," explained Emma's surgeon Dr. Fred Caldwell, assistant professor in Equine Surgery in Large Animal Teaching Hospital at Auburn. "In the case of Emma, it resulted in her hoof being turned back on itself almost 180 degrees to where she could not bear weight on it."
At two days old and weighing in at 26 pounds, Emma arrived at the Auburn University Large Animal Clinic.
It was not feasible for Emma's initial owners to care for her, so Cece offered to purchase her and take on her care.
When Emma came into Cece's life, Cece knew she had to have her.
"Essentially, she's just a vibrant little thing," Cece said. "Nothing stands in her way and nothing bothers her."
Emma touched the hearts of those working on her case as soon as they met her.
"Personally, it's been one of those feel-good cases that makes you really value what you do," said Caldwell.
Upon reviewing her options, Caldwell, resident Elizabeth Yorke and Cece decided on a plan to amputate Emma's leg and fit her with a prosthesis.
"It was one of those things where the decision needed to be made pretty rapidly and we kind of just forged ahead, and it was overall just a good fit for everyone working on Emma," Caldwell said. "Everyone worked well together. We all kind of brought our own strengths to the table for the overall benefit of the patient."
The Hangar Clinic, known for creating a prosthetic tail for Winter the Dolphin, the star of the Disney movie, "Dolphin Tale," assisted with Emma's case from the very beginning.
Immediately after being contacted, Hangar Clinic representative William Fletcher III did not waste time bringing everything needed to assess Emma's situation and to proceed with the plan devised for Emma to live a happy, healthy life.
Emma underwent surgery performed by Caldwell and his team at only three days old.
Post amputation, she wore a cast with a metal foot incorporated into it to even out her limbs.
Her first prosthesis enveloped her entire limb to help offload the surgical site, and she eventually was fitted with one that fit lower on the leg and enabled her to flex her hock as well as move more naturally.
Her prostheses are made of carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass. These are the same materials used in prostheses by paralympic athletes. It is expected she will have used eight or nine prostheses before she is fully grown.
Caldwell said that larger equids who have an issue not allowing them to bear weight equally on all four limbs are many times euthanized.
Because of her small stature and young age, Emma's chances for a successful outcome were better.
Any case that comes along like this is a step closer to Emma's procedure becoming a more viable option for larger equids, said Caldwell.
He wanted to thank everyone who stepped up to the plate and participated in her care and worked hard to save her.
"It's been a real pleasure working on her case and working with a lot of great, talented colleagues, clinicians, technicians and students at Auburn," he said. "It's a heartwarming story and I consider myself very fortunate to have been the person in the hospital at the time the call came in."
They all desire that her case will not only benefit other equids but humans as well.
Cece said the Hangar Clinic has used knowledge gained from working with Emma to help human patients and knowledge from working with human patients to help Emma.
It is also a hope that Emma will brighten others' lives visiting schools, retirement homes and hospitals.
"The way children respond to her really has been amazing," Cece said. "It's been a big part of making me glad I did this."
Cece touched upon the devotion required in caring for an animal that has had Emma's type of procedure done.
"It's a big commitment," she said. "It is definitely something you have to be 100 percent ready to take on and fully commit to, but, like in my case, I've just fallen head-over-heels in love with her and not a bit of it is a burden. It is a labor of love, I guess."
Animal caretakers are very special people and Cece is no different. The love and compassion she has shown for Emma could move mountains and the bond between equid and human is strong. Having the privilege of being Emma's owner has been a rewarding and life enriching experience for her.
Born and reared in Fairhope, Cece grew up spending the weekends on her grandfather's farm. Her grandfather, who still farms pecans with the help of Cece's brother, also raised beef cattle back then.
At a young age, Cece fell in love with four-legged creatures with hooves, and her grandfather bought her a pony at age 2.
"He got tired of me waking him up at night to tell him I needed a pony, so one day a pony appeared," Cece fondly remembered.
She also rode eventing horses growing up.
Upon graduating from Auburn University, she entered her position as an equine surgery technician at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. She had managed barns and had a lot of horse experience, and Auburn supplied her with the medical know-how to do her job.
"I've been here a little over 3 years and I have refrained from taking home every animal I have seen and I think it was worth it, because, when the right one came along, I was able to take her," Cece said.
Cece has fulfilled a longtime wish with her ownership of Emma.
"I always wanted a female donkey," Cece said. "I just couldn't realize she was going to be this special."

SAN FRANCISCO --The finance committee of the University of California Board of Regents voted to freeze undergraduate tuition for the upcoming fall semester. The committee also voted to endorse Governor Jerry Brown's tax initiative that will appear on the November ballot.
Brown's initiative seeks to contribute $125 million in funding for the UC system through a tax increase.
UC officials warned that students could face a steep tuition hike midyear if the ballot initiative is not approved by voters. In that case, the UC system would face a budget cut of $250 million midyear. That would likely prompt a tuition increase in January, probably a large one.
The resolution was approved Wednesday at a meeting of the finance committee. The meeting was disrupted for a short time by protesters.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Make a simple syrup by combining the raw sugar and water in a saucepan and cooking over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Next, drain the water from the canned chestnuts. Place in a food processor and puree. Add the simple syrup and Grand Marnier, to taste, while blending (chef's tip: make it a bit sweeter then you like). Lay the torn chunks of pound cake in the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of Marsala to each and then some chestnut puree on top of the poundcake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
After removing it from the refrigerator, add layers of the whipped cream and caramel sauce. Top with blackberries and walnuts before serving.

After a year of more rejection from women than a first time author from publishers I find myself content. Some 2 months since the last one and I'm not wasting hours of my life wondering 'does she like me?'. There are none on my radar and there are none interested in me. I'm at peace.
I'm praising God for restoring my equinamity whilst I deal with some big health issues.
I'm praising God for giving me a chance to grow as me.
I'm praising God for female friends who accept me as I am.
I'm praising God for so much more than I'm going to write here.

During our research we discovered something called the Eden Project, which is made up of Biomes or Biospheres. We were also investigating the wonders of the Solar System and it made us question if it would be possible to live on other planets and how people could do this. We also found something about this in a Discovery Channel Video and decided to investigate Biomes further…………
Here is a short video showing what the Eden project looks like. There are now a number similair projects around the world. It is amazingly beautiful and shows a certain harmony between technology and nature in creating a system that allows life to flourish.
So we decided to dig deeper and inquire further.
Our class have been enjoying this investigation, the request for which came from them. So far it has been really useful in a number of ways.
-It is making the Cobras think about the unique weather conditions that we have on Earth compared to the rest of the Solar System and how this has been conducive to life.
-It is giving us the chance to be scientists and set up experiments involving predicting, observing and reflecting on what can be learned.
-There has been lots of connection and collaboration.
We look forward to updating you about how our biospheres develope and what we can learn from them over the weeks to come.

4 May 2017 Bible Reading
Today's reading from John discusses the ministry of John the Baptizer. While not inspired, Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (book 18, chapter 5, 2) provides interesting reading about John:
Now some of the Jews thought that the destruction of Herod's army came from God, and that very justly, as a punishment of what he did against John, that was called the Baptist: for Herod slew him, who was a good man, and commanded the Jews to exercise virtue, both as to righteousness towards one another, and piety towards God, and so to come to baptism; for that the washing [with water] would be acceptable to him, if they made use of it, not in order to the putting away [or the remission] of some sins [only], but for the purification of the body; supposing still that the soul was thoroughly purified beforehand by righteousness. Now when [many] others came in crowds about him, for they were very greatly moved [or pleased] by hearing his words, Herod, who feared lest the great influence John had over the people might put it into his power and inclination to raise a rebellion, (for they seemed ready to do any thing he should advise,) thought it best, by putting him to death, to prevent any mischief he might cause, and not bring himself into difficulties, by sparing a man who might make him repent of it when it would be too late. Accordingly he was sent a prisoner, out of Herod's suspicious temper, to Macherus, the castle I before mentioned, and was there put to death. Now the Jews had an opinion that the destruction of this army was sent as a punishment upon Herod, and a mark of God's displeasure to him.
Judges 19-20:48
19 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah. 2 His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months. 3 Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. She brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 4 His father-in-law, the young lady's father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
5 On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. The young lady's father said to his son-in-law, "Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way." 6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady's father said to the man, "Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry." 7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again. 8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady's father said, "Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines"; and they both ate.
9 When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady's father, said to him, "Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home." 10 But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and toward Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it."
12 His master said to him, "We won't turn aside into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah." 13 He said to his servant, "Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah." 14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin. 15 They turned aside there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.
16 Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites. 17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going? Where did you come from?"
18 He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to Yahweh's house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house. 19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
20 The old man said, "Peace be to you; how ever let me supply all your needs. Just don't sleep in the street." 21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank. 22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we can have sex with him!"
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please don't act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don't do this folly. 24 Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don't do any such folly."
25 But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go. 26 Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until it was light. 27 Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 He said to her, "Get up, and let us be going!" but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel. 30 It was so, that all who saw it said, "Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak."
20 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yahweh at Mizpah. 2 The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword. 3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?"
4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, "I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night. 5 The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my concubine, and she is dead. 6 I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7 Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel."
8 All the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house. 9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot; 10 and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel." 11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that is happen among you? 13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel."
But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel. 14 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 15 The children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 16 Among all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss. 17 The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword. All these were men of war.
18 The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, "Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?"
Yahweh said, "Judah first."
19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah. 21 The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground. 22 The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day. 23 The children of Israel went up and wept before Yahweh until evening; and they asked of Yahweh, saying, "Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?"
Yahweh said, "Go up against him."
24 The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 25 Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Yahweh, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. 27 The children of Israel asked Yahweh (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?"
Yahweh said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand."
29 Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah. 30 The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 31 The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 The children of Benjamin said, "They are struck down before us, as at the first." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."
33 All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba. 34 Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn't know that disaster was close to them. 35 Yahweh struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men. All these drew the sword. 36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah. 37 The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword. 38 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city. 39 The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, "Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle." 40 But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky. 41 The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on them. 42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it. 43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah toward the sunrise. 44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor. 45 They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them. 46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor. 47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months. 48 The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
John 3:22-4:3
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized. 23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized. 24 For John was not yet thrown into prison. 25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's disciples with some Jews about purification. 26 They came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him."
27 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.' 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. 33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. 36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
4 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
Psalm 104:24-35
24 Yahweh, how many are your works!
In wisdom have you made them all.
The earth is full of your riches.
25 There is the sea, great and wide,
in which are innumerable living things,
both small and large animals.
26 There the ships go,
and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27 These all wait for you,
that you may give them their food in due season.
28 You give to them; they gather.
You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
29 You hide your face: they are troubled;
you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
30 You send out your Spirit and they are created.
You renew the face of the ground.
31 Let Yahweh's glory endure forever.
Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles.
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 Let your meditation be sweet to him.
I will rejoice in Yahweh.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.
Let the wicked be no more.
Bless Yahweh, my soul.
Praise Yahweh!
Proverbs 14:22-24
22 Don't they go astray who plot evil?
But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23 In all hard work there is profit,
but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

4 personalization lessons we learnt from our customers
Written by Aishwarya Hariharan on March 7, 2014
To most people, portal customization isn't very high up on their list of priorities. After all, if your support is top-notch who cares what your portal really looks like, right? Wrong. A wise man once said, "The difference between coffee at 72% and coffee at 85% is coffee that makes you wince and coffee that makes you delirious with joy". Creating a unique and customized support portal could be what gives you that edge over the rest of your competitors.
We revamped our support portal, a few weeks ago. A ton of iterations and a lot of ideas later, we found the perfect fit for us. And in that process, we found some support portals that we loved that ended up inspiring our current theme. In some cases, it ended up being a case of the student teaching the master. So, we decided to put together some of our favorites, made by our very own customers, into a list for you to enjoy (and learn from as well).
1) Your support portal should look like it's a part of your brand
When you spend years building your brand, it makes no sense to leave your support portal out of the party. Clearly, SIPcity (an award-winning business VoIP provider) agrees with us because their support portal looks like a perfect extension of their website. We also like how they've emphasized their knowledge base by featuring a "Popular Articles" and a "Featured Articles" widget.
2) Make it clear that you're talking to fellow human beings and not Multivac
The first thing anybody sees on aNewSpring's portal is the Getting Started video section. Which makes sense considering that they are an online learning solution that helps corporates tailor their online courses. But it's awesome that they've transcended knowledge base articles to provide tutorial videos (and displayed them awesomely though we note that this section is a WIP). We also love how they've put up pictures of their support reps. It makes the user experience a bit more special when you you put a face on the person in the other side of an email.
3) GA is your best friend. Use it to find out which parts of your support portal need a little lift
Quizup is one of the most popular trivia mobile apps out there at the moment. But that's not the only reason why we love them. We love their portal because clearly, they've done some support recon. Not only are their knowledge base sections clearly defined ("Start here", "Email Password problems", "Facebook problems") but they've understood that most customers come to their support portal because they want more trivia topics. Which is why a link to their "Topic Suggestions" forum is a part of the header.
4)Play to your strengths. Are you a social media mogul? Make it a part of your portal
Have a strong social presence? Take a leaf out of BrainEngine's book and incorporate a Social Buzz widget into your support portal. Sure, they've used an existing theme but we like that they've put so much thought into customizing their portal.
The truth is, portal customization is a lot like Boo Radley. It's really not as scary as it looks. Go ahead; take our FreshThemes guide for a spin and you'd be surprised at just how easy it is. If you still have any questions or need a little help with some code, feel free to shoot us an email. We're always happy to help.

Christian Formation for Children
Christian formation for children at church takes place in at least three places: worship, education, and ongoing interpersonal relationships with mentors and peers.
Children attend worship with their families at either the 8:00am service or the 10:30 choral communion service. Read about children and communion in the Episcopal tradition here.
Secrets of a Pew Whisperer: Let the Children Pick the Seat
Children are also welcome and encouraged to attend worship at the special services throughout the year, particularly around the major feast days of the church.
In addition, children may go deeper by helping to lead worship. Beginning at age 11, children may become acolytes, crucifers, scripture readers, and so forth. Read more about Worship Ministries here.
Personal Relationships
There is no better way to learn to be a Christian than to be in relationship with other, mature Christians. Parents are, of course, their children's biggest role models when it comes to religious education. But clergy, Sunday School teachers, youth mentors, and other adults they encounter at church are also influential. And building connections with peers who also strive to live as Jesus taught means so much to kids, especially in the modern world.
Sunday School (September-May)
Our Christian Formation experience during the school year includes programs for Kindergarten through 8th grade during the Sunday Spiritual Deepening & Fellowship time of 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. (Learn more about this time here.) Follow the signs to the south end of the building (the education wing), where we have special curricula for each age group.

Godly Play: Age 4 through 1st Grade
Children have an innate sense of the presence of God. The Godly Play approach helps them to explore their faith through story, to gain religious language and to enhance their spiritual experience though wonder and play. Based on Montessori principles and developed using a spiral curriculum, the Godly Play method serves children through early, middle and late childhood and beyond. Come join us! Children are invited to participate in this unique approach that invites them to wonder about God, themselves, and the world. Godly Play invites children to enter into sacred stories and creative activities as a way to seek and find answers to their faith questions. For more information, visit The Center for the Theology of Childhood.
Holy Moly: 2nd through 4th grade
Holy Moly is a hit! Holy Moly uses a short, engaging Bible story video to start each session. This curriculum is so popular and meaningful that kids ask to watch the stories again!
Connect: 5th Grade and up
This is a pre-confirmation class, pondering the big questions of life with a variety of materials, activities, crafts and video.

CPEC's potential impact on Pakistan has been likened to that of the Marshall Plan undertaken by the United States in post-war Europe. Economic corridor comprising a collection of projects currently under construction at a cost of $54 billion. Corridor stretching from the Chinese border to Pakistan's deep water ports on the Arabian Sea date back to the 1950s, and motivated construction of the Karakoram Highway beginning in 1959.
Chinese interest in Pakistan's deep-water harbor at Gwadar had been rekindled by 1998 and in 2002 China began construction at Gwadar port which was completed in 2006.
Pakistani officials predict that the project will result in the creation of upwards of 700,000 direct jobs between 2015–2030, and add 2 to 2.5 percentage points to the country's annual economic growth. Were all the planned projects to be implemented, the value of those projects would be equal to all foreign direct investment in Pakistan since 1970, and would be equivalent to 17% of Pakistan's 2015 gross domestic product
The current form of the project was first proposed by General Pervez Musharraf. However it was postponed owing to the political instability in the country that followed Musharraf's step down. The subsequent government of the Pakistan People's Party proposed it again when President Asif Ali Zardari invited heads of all the political parties to a Luncheon in honor of the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at the Aiwan-e-Sadr on 22 May 2013.Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari have agreed to build an economic corridor between the two countries.
In 2014 Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met with Premier Li Kequiang in China to discuss further plans, resulting in the full scope of the project to be devised under Sharif's tenure, In November 2014, Chinese government announced its intention to finance Chinese companies as part of its $45.6 billion energy and infrastructure projects in Pakistan as part of CPEC.
This is roughly 20% of Pakistan's annual GDP, with approximately $28 billion worth of fast-tracked "Early Harvest" projects to be developed by the end of 2018. As a gesture of friendship, the Pakistani capital at that time was dotted with slogans and signboards such as "Pakistan-China friendship is higher than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, sweeter than honey, and stronger than steel"[34] – an oft repeated phrase coined by the Chinese to describe their deep ties to Pakistan.
Gwadar forms the crux of the CPEC project, as it is envisaged to be the link between China's ambitious One Belt, One Road project, and its Maritime Silk Road project. In total, more than $1 billion worth of projects are to be developed around the port of Gwadar by December 2017. China will grant Pakistan $230 million to construct a new international airport in Gwadar which is to be operational by December 2017.
The city of Gwadar is further being developed by the construction of a 300MW coal power plant, a desalinization plant, and a new 300 bed hospital. Plans for Gwadar city also include construction of the East Bay Expressway – a 19 kilometer controlled-access road that will connect Gwadar Port to the Makran Coastal Highway,] these additional projects are estimated to cost $800 million, and are to be financed by 0% interest loans extended by the Exim Bank of China to Pakistan.
The CPEC project envisages major upgrades and overhauls to Pakistan's transportation infrastructure. Under the CPEC project, China has announced financing for $10.63 billion worth of transportation infrastructure so far; $6.1 billion have been allocated for constructing "Early Harvest" roadway projects at an interest rate of 1.6 percent.
The CPEC project envisages major upgrades and overhauls to Pakistan's transportation infrastructure. Under the CPEC project, China has announced financing for $10.63 billion worth of transportation infrastructure so far.
The CPEC project including rebuilding of the entire Main Line 1 railway between Karachi and Peshawar by 2020, this single railway currently handles 70% of Pakistan Railways traffic. In addition to the Main Line 1 railway, upgrades and expansions are slated for the Main Line 2 railway, Main Line 3 railway. The CPEC plan also calls for completion of a rail link over the 4,693-meter high Khunjerab Pass. The railway will provide direct access for Chinese and East Asian goods to Pakistani seaports at Karachi and Gwadar by 2030.
Energy generation will be a major focus of the CPEC project, approximately $33 billion expected to be invested in this sector.
Liquefied natural gas power LNG projects are also considered vital to CPEC. The Chinese government has announced its intention to build a $2.5 billion 711 kilometer long liquid natural gas pipeline from Gwadar to Nawabshah in province as part of CPEC.
The long-term plan for the period 2025-30 during the CPEC summit held in Islamabad on August 30, 2016. The plan includes cooperation over livelihood, water resources, livestock, people-to-people communications and financial matters. Under the plan, agricultural information project, storage and distribution of agricultural equipment and construction project, agricultural mechanization, demonstration and machinery leasing project and fertilizer production project for producing 800,000 tons of fertilizer and 100,000 tons of bio-organic fertilizer will be implemented.
As part of CPEC, the two countries signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreements well as pledged to "China-Pakistan Joint Cotton Bio-Tech Laboratory, The two countries also pledged to establish the "China-Pakistan Joint Marine Research Center" with State Oceanic Administration and Pakistan's Ministry of Science and Technology. Also as part of the CPEC agreement, Pakistan and China have agreed to co-operate in the field of space research, many other,
The two nations also pledged co-operation in field ranging from anti-narcotic efforts. Approximately $11 billion worth of infrastructure projects being developed by the Pakistani government will be financed by concessionary loans, with composite interest rates of 1.6%.
CPEC is considered economically vital to Pakistan in helping it drive economic growth, The Straits of Malacca provide China with its shortest maritime access to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Approximately 80% pass of its Middle Eastern energy imports also pass through the Straits of Malacca. [246] as the world's biggest oil importer. The heads of various Central Asian republics have expressed their desire to connect their infrastructure networks to the CPEC project via China

The Liverpool midfielder was sent off after confronting referee Steve Bennett in the Reds´ 3-0 defeat at Manchester United - his dismissal coming just days after the outrage generated by Ashley Cole´s behaviour towards Mike Riley, who did not red card the Chelsea left-back.
Platini said: "Mascherano got a yellow card for running at the referee, which is correct. He won´t do it again now. What the referee did was good, it was the right thing to give him the second yellow card."

InterviewsGleemax: Wizards of the Coast's Gamer MySpaceInterviews - RSS 2.0
Wizards of the Coast is probably the biggest brand in gaming no one ever thinks about. Despite my years-long affair with Magic: The Gathering, I was surprised to hear from them when they dropped us a line to talk about Gleemax, their new take on social networking. Gleemax, a MySpace-ish networking site based on a three-pillar (games, editorial and community) strategy, isn't the first to target gamers, but it's definitely the best-funded. I had a chance to speak with Randy Buehler, WotC's Vice President of Digital Gaming, about his plans for Gleemax and the future of Wizards of the Coast.
Buehler's history is deeply rooted in Wizards of the Coast. Before joining them in 1999, he made a name for himself winning Magic tournaments on the professional circuit. He parlayed his experience there into a spot on the Magic development team, building new cards. In 2002, he jumped to the Magic: The Gathering Online team and has since been looking for new ways to expand WotC's online presence.
The way Buehler sees it, WotC's traditional delivery model - getting people into hobby stores - is "stable, but it's aging." Teenagers just don't go to Hobbytown USA anymore. Today's youth are online, he says, and WotC's two major properties, Magic and Dungeons & Dragons, translate well to the modern web. In an age where the user dictates the experience, games where the world literally changes on the player's whim seem like a perfect draw for the Web 2.0 junkie.
Gleemax, Buehler says, is a natural extension of both WotC's web presence and their offline community-building practices. In the past, they've launched two major initiatives to get people into hobby shops and to get them playing their games. The first is the large professional Magic tour, which has grown popular enough to birth its own player trading card set, has breathed life into the aging game; over 100,000 people watch the tournaments online. The second was Friday Night Magic, a grassroots movement to actually bring kids into a social setting inside hobby stores, giving them a chance to connect with others who share an interest after-school activities that don't revolve around sports. Gleemax is attempting to go online with the latter.
Much of the community aspect of the site is based on fostering a similar vibe. The site is going to offer three different experiences. The first is very MySpace-like - social networking, trophy rooms, event calendars for local shops to coordinate with their customers. They're also giving players a chance to sound off in an editorial capacity, either by reviewing games or blogging about their gameplay experiences, be it a WotC game or a competitor's. But where Gleemax really separates itself is in the game channel.
In an effort to make Gleemax "the home for gamers," Buehler wants to people to actually play games on the site. He plans on showcasing indie strategy games to start, branding them with a WotC seal of approval; sort of like the old Nintendo seal. He says the seal can help guarantee only good games make it on the portal. He mentioned Greg Costikyan's Manifesto Games as a counterexample to the strict method WotC is using, saying, "Just because you have infinite shelf space; you shouldn't use it."
In addition to the indie game portal, Buehler wants to feature board games online. WotC owns the Avalon Hill brand, whose name brings joy to the heart of board gamers across the globe. Bringing those games into an online space may recapture a slightly older demographic that's escaped gaming since starting a family.
As far as money goes, Buehler says WotC plans on making most of its cash by way of the tried-and-true ad-supported model. They're also considering a subscription-based premium model, which will give users access to special content, and they might charge to play certain games. Similarly to MySpace, Buehler says they don't plan on charging hobby stores to promote local gatherings. They're also using the proceeds from Magic Online to develop and prop up the network, so chances are it'll be around for a while.
If you were to visit the official site right now, you'd be greeted by a giant, green brain, Gleemax himself, floating maliciously in the center of the page, stating, "THESE ARE THE PIXELS I NEED. YOU MUST BE IN THE PICTURE. DO NOT SEND PIXELS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE ALREADY CONSUMED THEM. I WILL AWARD POINTS AS I SEE FIT. YOU WILL GET BONUS POINTS FOR HAVING MORE MINIONS IN YOUR PHOTO." Gleemax the mascot is actually borne from one of the WotC fan base's inside jokes: The community has long suggested an alien presence has been pulling the strings of the hobby company, elevating them to 400-pound gorilla status for reasons beyond human comprehension.
In a way, that might explain the decision to go ahead with a social networking site for nerds, a group not exactly known for being social or having a large network of people with which to socialize. It just seems like a risky proposition. But if Buehler, or the giant brain controlling him, does manage to pull gamers together under one banner, he'll have struck a goldmine and done it in WotC's name.
WotC plans on officially rolling out a working version of Gleemax by this year's Gen Con. Until then, the giant brain will remain; floating, making demands ... plotting. If Buehler has his way, we may all soon be thralls of Gleemax, but at least we'll be together.

Dec 14, 2011
There's an occurrence that happens all too often on the Android Market: when trying to decide whether buy an app or not, the reviews seem split between 5 and 1 star ratings. This caused a user to scroll through all the reviews looking at the 5 star "Love It†reviews and the 1 star "Crashes on opening†reviews. As any Android fanboy will tell you, one major advantage to using the green robot is the wide array of devices to choose from. Instead of being stuck with one specific phone or tablet the options are boundless. The problem this creates is incompatibility and performance inconsistencies between devices.
For example, maybe app A just came out and has audio issues with HTC's new Rezound. There is no way for a user to know that this is the case from other users unless they scroll down through the entire list and finds multiple negative reviews for the Rezound while keeping an eye out for positive reviews as well.
Google has addressed this compatibility problem before. Because your Google Account is connected to your phone, when you log into the Market it knows what phone you have and displays whether the app you are viewing will run properly. This is a great feature and adds a lot of peace of mind, but something more was definitely needed.
To finally alleviate this problem, Google has allowed users to filter review results based on app version, device, recency, rating, and helpfulness. If you have trouble finding it, it's under the "Read All User Reviews†link. The results filter fast and this feature makes the app selection process much easier and safer, but is not very useful for smaller paid apps that don't have many reviews. This is a much needed addition that is just another small notch in Android's belt considering filtering reviews bases on phone model is not available in Apple's App Store.

Nick and Starr Spangler Speak on Their Amazing RaceMatt Richenthal at . Comments
The brother and sister team of Nick and Starr Spangler conquered all other pairings on The Amazing Race 13.
Just a day after their victory aired, the siblings sat down for an interview with People Magazine. Here are highlights from it:
Q: When did you first think you could realistically win the Race?

Nick: I didn't believe it until we were in the final cab going to the finish line. Starr had a different opinion.
Starr: Once we got on [the show], before we left, I said, "We can totally win this. We can totally do it." I was more optimistic that we could make it to that finish line.
Q: Do you want to do more reality TV?
Starr: I would love to be on Dancing with the Stars. I've been in cheerleading, dancing my whole life and that is one show I'd love to be in. And if [my boyfriend] and I don't work out, I would love to be on The Bachelorette!

You had to fight through the environments with two mercenaries – Salem and Rios, both hardass gunslinging warriors who reveled in blowing up everything and everyone in their path. The action was intense but many felt it was shortlived and that the cooperative experience could have been much better. EA Montreal aim to address the issues with the first game with the next title in the Chapter entitled "The 40th Day". At a recent press event we managed to get some hands on time with the cooperative mode to see how it is shaping up so far. The 40th Day is set around Shanghai where the two unlikely heroes Rios and Salem have been deployed to accomplish an apparently straightforward mission with their handler, Alice Murray. Unfortunately things take a turn for the worse and the mission ends up rather more complex than first expected. After they complete the contract based mission they are placed into the middle of a shootout as the city comes under attack from the air. Alice, their handler lands herself in a tricky situation as unknown soldiers appear at her location causing not only an issue for her survival but for the intelligence information she has on hand. It is up to both Rios and Salem to rescue Alice and to find the fastest way to escape Shanghai while fighting through all the forces in their path. While they fight through the enemy hordes, there is a lot of destruction on route, buildings fall down and helicopters smash into structures and explosions erupt in all directions. There is a GPS system which shows the route to the next objective plotting the course from your current location. The GPS offers other options however as it allows you to mark any enemy you see showing their rank and location at all times. This is particularly useful as you can spot them behind cover points and walls. Playing in cooperative mode also allows your partner will get to see the same information, which is extremely valuable. The Aggro methodology is still in play and the concept is relatively easy to understand. During firefights and combat the character who fires his weapon at the enemy units is the one to draw their anger and return fire, this boosts their aggro meter. As this happens their partner effectively becomes invisible to rival soldiers allowing the character to stealthily sneak around and perform a rear attack. These don't always work however because if you move too close or make a noise you will be spotted, leaving yourself open for retaliation. If you manage to work with a friend who is good with this system however it is an effective way to keep destroying enemy forces in hard to reach locations. As well as dealing with enemy forces there are certain 'hostage' situations when you find the enemy interrogating innocent civilians who are also trapped in Shanghai. You can choose to either ignore it and let them suffer or perform some actions to deal with the situation. You can sneak up behind the ranking officer at the locations and turn the tide by taking him hostage and tying them up after making them drop their weapons. You can also just shoot them by aiming your sniper rifle at one of their heads – your AI colleague will realise what you are intending to do and help you co-snipe the forces. If you are a maniac you can even just shoot both civilians and enemy soldiers. All of your actions are connected to a morality system, if you save people and deal with the situations in a suitably heroic manner then you will get rewarded with good morality points as well as money and weapons. If you decide to kill everyone in your path, including the innocent then actions and other events will change across the whole game. You obviously start with weapons on hand and you can acquire weapon accessories or bonus cash by saving civilians and searching supply boxes which populate the environment. Sometimes if you try to shoot the enemies they will lock the boxes permanently, so stealth kills are required to get access to the goods. Weapon customisation is also offered and apart from when you are in the middle of live combat you can instantly change and alter your three categories of weaponry on offer. The handguns (secondary weapons), primary weapons (machine guns or shotguns) and special weapons (sniper rifle) can all be fine tuned to your desires. You can adjust these in many ways, from cartridges, scopes and barrels and they will alter how you fight. When you equip a bayonet for instance you can stab enemies in close proximity. Weapons can also be adjusted in regards to their colour scheme and they allow for a plethora of wacky and rather silly end designs. The face masks can also be modified with preset designs on offer or personal customisations. If you really like your work you can upload them to the EA Servers to share with other people and characters. In our time with the game we noticed the change of direction to address the issues which were criticised before. The levels seem larger and more expansive and the combat is more engrossing and enjoyable – it is certainly shaping up well. We will have a review of Army Of Two whenever it gets released in 2010.

World number one Novak Djokovic will bring with him a 10-match winning streak to the Paris Masters – the final event of the ATP season.
Serbia's top male tennis player has yet to lose in the Bercy Arena since absorbing a defeat at the hands of Sam Querrey of the United States in the second round three years ago.
Since then, Djokovic has bagged the last two championships. He beat Canada's Milos Raonic in the final round last yeat and Spain's David Ferrer in 2013.
With another undefeated run in China now in the books, no limit seems to be in the horizon for tennis' number one man.
All 16 seeds in the field have received first round byes. Number two Andy Murray will be playing for the first time since falling to Djokovic in the semifinal round of the Shanghai Masters last month.
Third seed Roger Federer of Switzerland, meanwhile, will be arriving in Paris fresh from his 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory against Spaniard Rafael Nadal at the Swiss Indoors for his sixth trophy of the season, three behind Djokovic's haul.
Federer's compatriot, Stan Wawrinka, on the other hand, seeks to get back into form after his first round defeat in Basel. Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, seeded fifth, will try to follow up his romp in Stockholm last October.
Japan's Kei Nishikori, seeded sixth, will be making his return from injury after securing one of the last two slots for the London World Tour Finals.
Nadal, who fell short of his title bid bi Bercy eight years ago, will see action in Paris pleased with his form after engaging Federer to the hilt in their title battle last Sunday.
Another Spaniard, David Ferrer, the last man going to the year-end tournament in London, takes the eighth seeding after missing out in competition last week due to an arm injury.

Rain's sophisticated charm soaks the September issue of 男人风尚LEON Magazine
As you can tell by the slightly cooler temperatures across the continent and the recent pictorials of two very handsome Minhos here and here, summer is almost gone and the newest Fall fashions are now on the scene. This month, entertainer Rain falls into the fray with a sleek cover and sophisticated pictorial for Chinese magazine 男人风尚 LEON (Men Fashion LEON).
His photo shoot took place at the luxurious Hotel Éclat Beijing. Check it out.
Video source credit: 男人风尚LEON on Tudou / terry820625
From the coats and jackets to the bags to the shoes, I'm down with every piece of this ensemble. Rain's tall, elegant frame is the perfect clothes hanger.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts the man could sell someone a bridge in Brooklyn. :)
The article itself mentions Rain's work in China for the past couple of years and how he got where he is today — faith, and the determination to keep pushing toward his goals no matter what.
Which is your favorite pic? We want to know. Tell us what you think below!
In other news, major news outlets in China covering the August 28 WellcareFIT press event in Shanghai are reporting that new WellcareFIT spokesperson Rain mentioned he hopes to release a new album, start a concert tour in Korea, China, Japan, SE Asia, and North America, and have another Chinese acting project before the year is out.

It is worth noting that pension plans are always going to be a regulated industry. There is a huge amount of trust in giving somebody money now and expecting it back (with interest and earnings) in 30 years. If you do a truly private firm, then there is a concern about outright theft. If you do a government overseen hybrid model, it appears that things can also go wrong:
Why is this becoming a big issue now? Because for its first 35 years, when it was being hailed as a free-market miracle, not many people were actually retiring. Now they are, and it turns out their pensions are pretty paltry. If net returns had been closer to the 8 percent retirees deserved, their pensions would be three times higher. Fees like this are basically legalized theft.I think Kevin Drum is a bit bombastic in his conclusions here. but it is easy to see how there can be a lot of wealth extraction. After all, a 401(k) plan has a management fee and then invests in instruments (like mutual funds) that also have management fees. It's easy to see how these layers can add up, even before one considers the possibility of investing in a hedge fund with both management and performance fees.
That is why I am interested in options like social security. Governments have political risk (they can cut benefits or be destroyed by war) but they have the longevity to make these types of commitments. Governments do best in the face of issues like collective action problems and social insurance, and saving for retirement has features of both of these problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play the Wonderclaw game on my side accounts?
Yes, since this is an NC only game you can play on your side accounts.
Are we able to gift power-ups?
No. These items are in-game items only. If purchased in the NC Mall or in-game, these will go directly into the game and tallied on your game screen. These items will not go into your inventory.
Do the different color pods mean anything?
The pod colors are just what�s picked up in game. The actual color of the pods do not have anything to do with the items or prize tier of the items inside.
How do I know how many power-ups I have?
The count of your power-ups will tally on all of the pages of the game including the main page of the game. The power-up module to the right on the page will tell you the number of power-ups you currently have.

Once dropped, click on your prize pod to claim your prize.

My pod landed in the left chute. What does that mean?

How many NC items will I get per Widget?
Each Widget can be used to play one game of Bigsby Shadington�s Wonderclaw which will get you once NC prize items, unless you have a power-up to use.
Why can�t I play Wonderclaw?
You need to purchase a Wonderclaw Widget pack in the NC Mall in order to play the game. The Widgets come in packs of 1, 5, or 10. After purchasing a Widget, activate it by clicking on the Widget in your Inventory and then selecting "Activate Your Wonderclaw Widget Pack" from the drop-down menu. Once your Widget has been activated, select the button "Close and Play Wonderclaw," which will take you straight to the game.
What is the Bigbsy Shadington�s Wonderclaw game?
Bigbsy Shadington�s Wonderclaw is an all-new NC Mall game. Bigbsy has grown tired of searching the NC Mall for new items, so he�s decided to create his own with the Wonderclaw machines. Each machines holds exclusive NC items that can�t be found anywhere else! The items that can be won by playing each machine are themed to that machines design. You�ll need to purchase Widgets found in packs in the NC Mall to play. Choose a machine, throw in a Widget and see what you get!
How do the in-game Power-up�s work?
There are two power-up�s to choose from in the game � Tier Booster or Large Claw. These power-up�s can be purchased in-game or in the NC Mall. The Tier Booster power-up will allow you to up the tier level of your prize by one tier. So, if you grabbed a wood prize, you would be able to tier boost up to the next tier which is bronze. You still wouldn�t know what your prize was, but you would receive a prize from a higher tier level. The second power-up is the Large Claw. Selecting the Large Claw power-up guarantees you grab 2 pods and receive 2 prizes.
I accidentally accepted a Wonderclaw prize that I didn�t want. Can I get a refund?
Unfortunately, no. Once you accept a prize, it will automatically go into your Inventory.
Will there ever be more Wonderclaw machines available to choose from?
Yes, every so often Bigsby will create a new machine. When he does this he must take an existing machine away and replace it with a new one. He�s pretty good and warning us about that though.
I accidentally used a power-up on accident. What should I do?
Sorry, but once you have chosen to use a power-up you must play through the entire game with it. Please read all prompts in the game before continuing.
Is it OK to give widgets to other users?
Yes, you may give Widgets that have not been activated to other users as gifts using NC Gift Boxes (one Widget or pack per NC Gift Box). Once a Widget has been activated, it can no longer be gifted. Widgets, as with all Neocash items, cannot be sold or traded.
My computer crashed right in the middle of my game. Will I be able to continue right where I left off?
Yes! Please go back to the game page and click on "Click to Play". The game will start up again using the same Widget you were already using when the game ended mid-play.
I forgot to use a power-up during play. Can I get my money back to try again?
No. Please read carefully while playing. If you have power-ups to use, you will be prompted to use them during play. If you do not want to use them please press NO when asked.
Why am I not getting prompts in the game to use power-ups?
In order to use power-ups you must first purchase them either in game or in the NC Mall. Your total tally will show up in game on the right hand side under power-ups. Once you have purchased power-ups you will receive prompts in game to play with them.
Will I earn any Neopoints for playing Wonderclaw?
No, you will only receive the Neocash item prize that you have accepted.
The Wonderclaw game isn't loading properly for me.
If the game isn't loading properly for you, please make sure that your Flash player is updated to the latest version. You can also try clearing your browser's cache. If you are still having problems, your browser may be incompatible with the game.

AdvertisingQuestion is, how recent. I'm just running a recording on ARD. vdr-1.4.1-5, DVB driver of kernel 18.104.22.168, latest beta firmware f22623. Lots of transfer buffer overflows and sluggish OSD, because VDR used the primary FF card for recording, while the secondary budget card is idle. System is back to normal if I switch to another channel.
Just tested it by recording ARD from the primary device and watching it live at the same time. No problems whatsoever. The driver I'm using is the Mercurial version 2006-02-05 (well, actually that's not _that_ recent, anyway) and the firmware version F12623 as of 2006-07-22. The size of my firmware file is 240044, and the md5sum is 099329687c91131e616b4dcd8a118a25. My CPU is an AMD K6/II 450. Basically I do find it a good idea to preserve devices that provide more channels for live viewing, so before reverting to the old method or introducing YASO (Yet Another Setup Option) it might be a good idea to find out why this isn't working on your system.

ROCHESTER, NY – Principal Conductor for Education and Outreach Michael Butterman (The Louise and Henry Epstein Family Chair) leads the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in the final orKIDStra concert of the season: A Family for Baby Grand featuring narrator Jennifer Carsillo on Sunday, May 22 at 2:00 p.m. in the Performance Hall at Hochstein.
This special day also marks the release of the RPO's newest children's CD! In addition to A Family for Baby Grand, this album includes Michael Butterman and the RPO performing The Story of Babar by Francis Poulenc, with acclaimed actor John Lithgow as narrator. Both pieces were recorded in-studio for the disc. Only A Family for Baby Grand is performed during this orKIDStra concert. Visit www.youtube.com/superrpo to view a video highlighting A Family for Baby Grand. The audience is invited to join us after the concert for the CD release party!
Jennifer Carsillo narrates this story of a baby grand piano who ventures out into the world to join an orchestra. With music by Brad Ross and story by Sharon Dennis Wyeth, Baby Grand introduces the audience to the unique sounds of various instruments and demonstrates what these instruments sound like when played together. Through the decades, Babar has become one of the most well-loved children's characters of all time, but was not musically adapted until 1945 when Francis Poulenc turned his improvisations based on the story into a melodrama for piano and narrator. In 1962, Poulenc's friend Jean Francaix completed a full orchestral version that the RPO used in this recording.
