My favorite fairytale is Brave by Disney. It has a very good plot, I can relate to the story.
Sometimes rules need to be broken, sometimes we have to follow them.
Wish I win the doll!
I believe it's called the Harelip. It's in Grimm's fairy tales. It's basically the same idea as rumplstiltskin where the girl has to spin things for the prince. An old lady in the woods does it each night for her, and she just lays on a rock. When the prince asks, she's honest that she didn't do it so he goes to find the one who did so maybe the girl could continue and learn how to do it herself. When he finds the woman and finds out her deformity is a direct result of licking the fiber for spinning he decides his bride to be won't ever spin again.
My favorite fairy tale is the Little Mermaid!!! I just love her story!!!
My favorite fairy tale might be…Snow White!
My favorite fairy tale would have to be a slightly more obscure one, "The Princess Who Could Not Be Silenced".
It was about three brothers trying to win the challenge of getting the last word in a conversation with the princess. The two "smart" brothers failed, while the supposedly dimwitted brother won with a quick wit and the use of a collection of random junk he picked up on their way to the castle.
My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella! I always remembered renting this movie out at Blockbuster (haha, remember when that existed?) and watching it with my family alongside other Disney classics. Cinderella always stuck to me because of it's message – no matter where you're born, your social status, or your financial status, as long as you have the courage to power through you'll always have a true heart of gold (as cheesy as that sounds, that's a message that stuck to me when watching Cinderella). Thank you for the opportunity!
My favourite fairytale would be Hansel and Gretel! Love how the witch thinks she is so clever and can lure kids in with her sugary house, but that the kids were able to outsmart her and get away!
Hi! I'm from Mexico and my favorite fairy tale is Little Red Riding Hood, this is because in Mexico they made very sweet and comical movies about her, and this is a very cute memory of my childhood. The first one was based in the original, only that in the end the Wolf became a good boy and friend of Little Red Ridding Hood and protector of her town. They also made a sequel that was like a crossover "Little Red Ridding Hood and Little Thumb VS The monsters" xD . Thanks for the chance and for reading me!
Peter Pan has always been my favorite fairytale and has helped me through many hard times in my life. I love the whole ideals surrounding Neverland and the constant head butting of Captain Hook and Peter Pan.
The Princess and the Pea is a favorite of mine. My mother used to have to read it to me and my sister so much, she had it memorized and didn't need the book to tell the story.
My favorite tales is The Beauty and the Beast, but I love too Rapunzel or SnowWhite, last one remember my childhood and because Snow white is a cute princess, I like her aspect.
I love a lots of Fairytales, much not so famous, so I wrote my most famous favorite.
My favorite fairytale is a popular Lithuanian tail / legend – "Jūratė and Kastytis". Story is about Goddess (sometimes described as a mermaid or undine) Jūratė (from the noun jūra meaning the sea) lived under the Baltic Sea in a beautiful amber castle. She fall in love with fisherman. Jūratė rescued fisherman from drowning in a storm. Unfortunately fisherman was killed by Baltic God of Thunder. Jūratė mourns fisherman to this day. Her tear drops are amber pieces washed ashore and one could hear her sad voice in a stormy sea.
My favorite fairy tale is more of a folk tale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter . Or princess Monoke- a more modern tale.
When I was a child I used to hear and read some fairy tales and I loved most of them. Now I choose Little Red Riding Hood because I have done an illustration about this tale and it represents my work.
The Fisherman and His Wife !
Thank you for this giveaway! My favourite fairytale is Sleeping Beauty, the 3 fairies are so sweeeeet!
I really enjoy Cinderella. I love the glass slipper. I have the pureneemo cinderella version.
My favorite fairytale is Snow White! It's the first fairy tale I have ever know, and still is my favorite!
My favorite fairy tale is The Little Mermaid. I read the original Hans Christian Andersen version a few years ago. Unlike the popular film version, she watched the prince marry the other girl. She could've killed him to undo the deal, but she chose to die and let him be happy instead. I just found the ending so beautifully tragic.
My favourite fairytale has always been Hansel and Gretel. I loved the creepy feel of the gingerbread house, but also how Hansel and Gretel overcome the witch in the end. And…they probably never looked at a sweet again in the same way!
My favorite fairy tale is The Gingerbread Man. I especially love the illustrated version by Jan Brett. The pictures tell the story so vividly.
Puss in Boots (probably because I've always loved cats).
My favorite fairy tale is Little Mermaid with the original ending intended by Hans Christian Andersen. It is a sad but meaningful story.
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite. The beast is already a prince in his beastly state. Love one another if a person deserves love because of their behavior. It's the spirit and soul that matters the most.
I have so many! I'll settle with Rapunzel though. My favourite part is when Rapunzel's tears heal the Prince's blindness. There's so many variations to a lot of different fairytales, so each one has something different to offer. I also love a lot of the lesser known ones like Cap'o'Rushes.
My favorite traditional fairytale would have to be Cinderella, but I'm also a sucker for creative variations of Little Red Riding Hood.
My favourite fairytale is "The Turnip", it's a Russian fairytale, and I like it because everything is good there and nobody suffered during all the story.
My favorite fairytale is snow white.
Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast are my favourite fairytales plus their Disney dolls looking gorgeous.
My favorite Fairytale is Tangled. I love Rapunzel because she is brave, combative and I love her blonde hair!
My favorite fairy tale is Alice in Wonderland! I love how all over the place it is and I adore the designs of the characters. It contains some of my favorite quotes as well and a favorite animal character of mine (the Cheshire Cat).
It's not one of the more popular or common ones, but my favorite fairy tale is "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids." I feel sorry for the wolf, though!
Alice in Wonderland, since I always find myself getting lost in things (for example my hobbies, and dolls remind me of little worlds like when alice drinks the potion. There's just something bout how whimsical everything is in the movies.
im young but i love these doll so i hope i win!
My favorite fairy tale is Little Red Riding Hood.
The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
My favorite fairy tale has always been the Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen.
However, I don't like what Disney made of it.
As a child I liked the most that the little Mermaid decides to die instead of killing the person she loves. It´s as if she realizes how selfish she was and decides to do something selfless in the end.
I also never felt like this story is all that tragic. The mermaid might not get the man she wanted, but she is rewarded for her selfless act by having the chance to gain an immortal soul, the one thing she always desired.
I've always loved Disney's Sleeping Beauty (the Little Mermaid is a close second). However, a lot of those old fairytales haven't aged well. We need to create newer and better stories for the generations yet to come.
I like Jack and the Beanstalk. I'm not sure why… I think because it retains a lot of the fear that most of the original stories lose when they get translated or turned into films.
I'm not sure if it counts more as a myth or legend than a fairy tale, but I've always loved the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that the Chinese Qixi festival is based on, where the two lovers are seperated by the Milky Way except for one day a year, where the magpies of the world will form a bridge for them to reunite. It's a beautiful story and is still being told and celebrated thousands of years after it was first written!
I spent many years studying and enjoying fairytales from all over the world, but my favorite has practically always been Tam Lin and I hope it always will be.
I have a plenty of favorite fairytales, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Match Girl, Wizard of Oz, Snow White etc. But, if i must choose one, My most favorite Fairytale is Alice in Wonderland. Even many of my favorite characters from another stories like Novel, movie or anime is named Alice. I'm male, but have an Alice for a nickname. I love a frilly dress for Alice in many Alice in Wonderland version.. I correct it, i love dresses for characters in fairytales.
Favorite Fairytale has always been the Twelve Dancing Princesses, by the Brothers Grimm. As a child I adored the costumes in the illustrations.
My favorite fairytale is Alice in Wonderland… So, I read all the books and view the Disney's movie (animated). I love Snowhite, too.
My favorite fairy tale? That's a tough call. There are so many! btw, if you're looking for an interesting book with a modern twist on fairy tales, check out Shelby Bach's Ever Afters series (starts with Of Giants and Ice). It is a middle-grade book, but it's amazingly well written (and this comes from someone who has an extensive background in writing: I'm very well read, amazingly particular about what books I love, have an MFA in creative writing, used to teach English composition at the university level, etc.) Ms. Bach has an exquisite control over voice and has captured the essence of what it means to be in middle school. Another excellent book is Holly Black's Doll Bones.
It's very hard to choose but if I had to pick one fairy tale my favorite would be snow white.
I love "The Little Mermaid" Disney version and Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, both are awesome.
I really like both verisons as well.
My favourite fairytale is: The Little Mermaid!
…in the Disney version they have some great songs, and Ariel are so beautiful with her long red hair.
My favorite fairytale is "Cinderella", because even if she had to work for bad people, even if she's poor, she stays brave and honest and continues to dream.
Love this question! The one I love most since childhood is thumbelina, she has a very kind heart, always cares about others' feelings!
My favorite fairytale is Goldie Locks! I always loved her blonde hair and how stubborn she was.
My favorite fairytale is Beauty and the Beast.
My favorite fairytale is "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King".
It's so hard to choose a favorite. If I had to, probably Beauty and the Beast – though my first doll was actually a Snow White one, so that comes rather close.
My Father told it to me when I was young, after I lied when he was washing me in the bath and it scared me straight for most of my early years.
I'd say Puss in Boots is my favourite, story-wise, but all my favourite dolls have been Cinderellas!
My favorite fairytale is The Little Mermaid!
My first favorite fairy tale is Sleeping Beauty, My daughter is even named Aurora. However I am a sucker for most all fairy tales. Probably one of the reasons I love Anime and the show RWBY so much.
Without a doubt, The Sleeping Beauty but not for its protagonist, for the witch, Maleficent.
My favorite is Little Red Riding Hood. We even dressed up that way for Halloween once. My husband was the big bad wolf.
My favorite fairytale "Alice in Wonderland". I like all unusual things, strange creations, magic, adventures and Alice herself.
I have always loved fairytales but my favourite would have to be the Little Mermaid. Her story, has inspired me on so many levels and was the centre of most of my childhood games. I am amazed at how the stories grow with us and as we age new meaning are unearthed. All this being said, dolls based off of fairytales are my favourite! And I absolutely love this line of dolls!!
My favourite fairytale story is 'The princess & the frog' by Disney. I like Tiana for she is a hardworking girl with goals and points of view. Even when things were tough she was capable to reach her goals and face all her fears and find love.
My favorite fairytale is 'The little mermaid' by Disney.
I like Ariel for she is an adventurer and she enjoys life even when times are hard. She was brave enough to risk her life to be with the guy she loved.
I love your website! Wish I get the doll 🙂 … it would be my first japanese doll!
I would love to win this beautiful doll Snow White is one of my favourite Disney movies I have so many mini pop vinyls of Disney characters which would be suited to be her dwarfs.
It would be amazing to win this doll because Snow White is my favourite fairy tale. I feel it is a classic and everyone knows it. I find the original story very scary but the disney movie makes it exciting!
My favourite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. I especially enjoy watching the cartoon Disney movie. I always think it would be so cool if there was a pureneemo that looked like Belle. Winning this doll would look great with my other fairy tale themed dolls.
My favourite fairy tale is Alice in wonderland. I've always loved the different ways it has been adapted. It is always so much fun seeing the different styles people imagine Alice and her friends in. This is probably why I love seeing Alice in Wonderland themed dolls because they all look very different! It's fantastic!
My favourite Fairytale is The Nightingale, I love the message of the story that even though artificial things lasts for a long time (The mechanical Nightingale) real things are far more beautiful, precious and memorable.
But Snow White has always been one of my favourite and it teaches an important lesson about vanity and jealousy leading to a person's downfall as well as being careful about who you can trust!
Je pense que mon conte préféré est "Le Joueur de Flûte d'Amelin" des Frères Grimm.
Merci pour votre site! Je le suis régulièrement et je vous souhaite une bonne continuation!
Also on a side note, I'd like to thank you guys for running this website. I come here often though I hadn't realized til now how easy it was to leave a comment. Also are you guys gonna say what your favorite fairy-tale is because now I'm really curious!
My favourite fairy tale is Disney "Brave"! ^-^ I love the way Merida changes her destiny!
But, since I was a child, I loved Snow White!
The Snow Queen, definitely. Winter is the most magical time of the year for me, and I always loved this character of a cold, icy queen-witch.
Amongst many of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales my favourite is 'Thumbelina'.
I do not like the film versions of fairy tales as much as the original books!
My favorite fairy tale is Sleeping Beauty. I especially loved watching Disney's interpretation of this tale as a child. There is so much to love about that film, such as Aurora singing and dancing with the forrest creatures, the Prince battling Maleficent in her dragon form, and Aurora's color changing dress at the end of the movie.
I'd say Merida, cause it is about family and finding oneself and not about being a perfect princess to get a perfect husband.
My favourite fairytale is Rapunzel, after such a horrible start in life she finally gets her man, in the Disney version she has a cute chameleon called Pascal who steals the show in the film!
My favorite fairy tale is the original Grimm's Cinderella. Only this version of the tale will do. If you ever have a chance to see Roger's & Hammerstein's Cinderella circa 1960's, you will fall in love with the story, all over again, and only this version will do. Nothing comes close to it. Happy New Year!
I loved reading "The Little Match Girl" as a kid. It's sad, but very sweet and has a good meaning.
Thank you for offering this! I love checking this blog for all my dolly news.
I've always had a soft spot for Red-Riding Hood, but a recent favorite of mine is Vasilisa the Beautiful (featuring… a doll! And Baba Yaga. It's worth a read, for sure).
My favorite fairytale is "Little Red Riding Hood".
I really like the idea of little girl wearing a red hoodie and carry a bag. And how cute of a granddaughter visits her grandmother.
Thank you for the opportunity. My favorite fairytale is The Beauty and the Beast.
My favorite fairytale is Little Red Riding Hood! I always liked the darker fairytales growing up.
This is fun 🙂 I think my favorite fairy tale is "Alice in Wonderland" (AKA Alice Through the Looking Glass). It's just so silly.
Alice in Wonderland! I've always loved the movie, and the books, so it has such a dear place in my heart.
"The Little Match Girl", although it may be a sad story, it definetly deserves to be mentioned. It has always made me value simple, little things.
My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella because I love that after all her hard work she was able to go to the ball.
Though this is a tough choice, I will have to go with this one: East of the Sun and West of the Moon.
I have loved that fairytale since my childhood.
It has a special place in my heart.
Unfortunately, it is apparently a rare to find book in danish so my search for the book is still ongoing.
Even if I don't win I encourage you all to read it!
Btw a close second is the Russian fairytale The Firebird.
Thank you so much for having this giveaway and for this opportunity! My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. I know it may sound cliche, but I think this story teaches a valuable lesson (not to judge others based on their appearance – even though Belle is still a beauty – but, more on that later). I like that you can see the character's evolve. Belle learn's to love someone who is not beautiful on the outside (even though I think she wouldn't judge anyone by their appearance to begin with), but also shows that even though she is beautiful, she is still kind to the Beast (which is the lesson that is learned by the Beast). I hope this makes sense!
My favorite fairy tale is "Snow White"!
Cinderella has always been a favourite of mine. Wish I had a fairy Godmother.

Q: Get the first and last visible date of the fullcalendar without using datepicker I use fullcalendar in my code and have implemented and added events into it, but my goal was to get the first visible and last visible date of the calendar.
What we wanted to do is get the visible first and last dates so that we'll be able to throw the extracted dates in the database and get all events within that range of dates.
I've tried this Get the start and end dates visible in a datepicker days view? but I want to use jQuery and fullCalendar only. Is there other way to extract the dates without using datepicker?

A:
Is it possible to get the first date of the first week and last date
of the last week of the fullcalendar

...yes easily - in the latest version (v5 at the time of writing) you can just ask for the current view and it has properties which contain those dates.
However, you also said this was

so that we'll be able to throw the extracted dates in the database and
get all events within that range of dates.

There's no reason for you to do this manually, if that's your purpose. FullCalendar already provides ways of specifying the source of your events - you can either simply point it at a URL which returns JSON in the fullCalendar events format, or if you need more flexibility, you can define a callback function where you can use custom code to fetch the events from their source.
The key thing about both those approaches is that fullcalendar automatically

*

*calls the URL / runs the function every time the date range changes on the calendar, and

*provides you with the start and end dates of the new date range, so that your server can filter the events it returns to be only ones which fall within that range.
There's no need for you to spend time manually attempting to extract date ranges from the calendar or feed it events by other methods.

A: Using version 5.5.1, you can inspect the rendered HTML.  The day cells have class fc-daygrid-day and data-date="{date}"
Given the original div id is "calendar" you can use:
var cells = $("#calendar td.fc-daygrid-day");
console.log(cells.length, cells.first().data("date"), cells.last().data("date"))

Example snippet:

$(function() {
  var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
  var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
    initialView: 'dayGridMonth'
  });
  calendar.render();

  var cells = $("#calendar td.fc-daygrid-day");
  console.log(cells.length, cells.first().data("date"), cells.last().data("date"))
});

Bidding wars on Houston home purchases continue to surge
by special contributor
If your clients' plans for homebuying this spring include visions of waltzing in with an offer anytime they please, you might want to prepare them to be on their feet for a while. A new report from Redfin noted that the competition is as stiff as ever.
Nationwide, the real estate company's agents faced bidding wars on nearly three-quarters of the home offers they wrote in April. While the competition was not quite as strong across Houston, the 62.4% rate on offers this past April was a slight bump from the 60.4% rate in March, and a dramatic rise from the 36.2% rate in April 2020.
Redfin's report included data from 45 markets in which its agents recorded at least 20 offers in both April 2021 and March 2021. The report defined a bidding war as any offer that faced at least one competing bid. The five markets with the highest bidding-war rates were Salt Lake City (83.5%), both San Diego and Spokane (83.3%), Boise (81.8%) and Phoenix (80.5%).
Overall, Redfin agents across the country saw bidding wars on 72% of the homes on which they submitted offers. This marked an increase over both the prior month (66.7%) and April 2020 (44.9%), when pandemic-related shutdowns were taking hold. April 2021 was also "the 12th-straight month in which more than half of home offers encountered competition," Redfin noted.
"In today's market, buyers just have to be comfortable with losing a few deals before they win one," said Kristin Lopez, a Redfin agent in Boise, Idaho, in the company's press release on the report. "It's a marathon, not a sprint."
In her red-hot market, Lopez noted that the tactics some successful buyers used to get their bids across the finish line included all-cash offers, free rent-backs to sellers and early earnest-money payments.
Clearly, it's a good time to be a listings agent. Low mortgage rates and remote-work opportunities are among the factors expected to continue favoring sellers for the foreseeable future. But the Redfin data included one possible sign of easing competition. When compared to this past March, April's bidding-war rate was lower in 17 markets. These included Salt Lake City, where that nationwide-leading 83.5% rate was actually a cool-down from March's 86.1% rate. San Francisco/San Jose (73.2%, compared to 77.8%) and Las Vegas (71.1%, compared to 81.0%) were among the others that also saw a month-over-month decline.
In its press release, Redfin noted that the data is subject to revision.

Review: LITTLE WOMEN
By Laurie Coker
Rating: A+
Director Gretta Gerwig has a knack for capturing the essence of women – beyond femininity and frills. In Little Women, the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott, the titular women are vivid and beautiful, and their story has seen many film adaptations. Gerwig's version has a current feel and while she stays true to the crux of the story, she shifts the trims the tale, tweaks the timeline and adjusts the characters' weight, and presents a vibrantly watchable and timely story. A solid cast of powerful and talented women and men afford Gerwig the opportunity to create an adaptation that Alcott would likely love.
The "little women in Alcott's semi-autobiographical telling are Meg (Emma Watson), Jo (Saoirse Ronan), Amy (Florence Pugh), and Beth (Eliza Scanlen) – the March sisters. Their mother, Marmee (Laura Dern), holds down the homestead while their father fights for the Union Army. Instead of choosing to stay demure and quite the girls carve their own distinct ways – maneuvering men, money and more.
Gerwig's vision shows her love of the source material and she gives a notable nod at the beginning of the film – a shot of a red bound book with the title and Alcott's name. Each scene is precise and vivid, no angle or word is wasted and the cast glides in and out of the shots like skaters on a rink. Gerwig slips between past and present smoothly noting events through Jo's vantage all the while affording the others their stories. They are family and we are part of their experiences as sympathetic bystanders – all thanks to Gerwig's keen eye.
Ronan carries her characters on strong shoulders and Watson, Pugh and Scanlen are gifted actors – each fully-realizing their roles, and giving the sisters dimension and weight. Alcott's timeless tale is made all the more engaging with this director and these stars. The men are no slouches either – Chris Cooper (Mr. Lawrence), Timothée Chalamet (Laurie), James Norton (John Brooke), and Louis Garrel (Friedrich Bhaer) – all are men who ride in the wake of the March girls' beauty and vigor. Dern's Marmee provides an ideal role model for the girls. With a husband at war, she must guide her daughters in all things personal and worldly and under Gerwig's grace-filled guidance, the relationships delight.
True to Alcott's story, Gerwig reminds us that love played a but a small part in the life of women then. Instead, they were expected to marry well, securing their future and fulfilling their lives as wives and mothers. Gerwig has a gift, proven in her previous directorial efforts and driven home by the mastery shown in Little Women, which earns an A+ in the grade book. Certain to end up a holiday favorite, Little Women, deserves accolades.

Two decades before Aleppo, there was Srebrenica | The Daily Gazette
Two decades before Aleppo, there was Srebrenica
'Never again,' the world promised.
Rick Noack/The Washington Post
Coffins of the victims of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia, July 10, 2016.
Photographer: Andrew Testa/The New York Times
Neither the representatives of Russia nor of the United States held back their views: To Russia, the resolution to recognize the killings of thousands of civilians as genocide was "politically motivated." But for Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Russia's refusal to accept the resolution was "madness."
These remarks were not part of a debate about Syria and the killings in Aleppo, however. They made headlines a year ago as the world commemorated the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, in which 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serbs, beginning on July 11, 1995.
Russia's persistent refusal to acknowledge the massacre of Srebrenica as genocide sounded hauntingly familiar to some Tuesday, amid news that more than 80 civilians were killed by pro-Assad and Russian-backed forces in Aleppo. Andrew Mitchell, a Conservative Party lawmaker in Britain, pointed out that despite pledges after the Srebrenica massacre to never allow anything similar to happen again, "here we are today witnessing, complicit, in what is happening to tens of thousands of Syrians in Aleppo."
[UN: Pro-Assad forces sweep through rebel-held Aleppo]
Although comparisons between Srebrenica and Aleppo have come from survivors of the former massacre themselves, experts point out one key difference: "News of the Srebrenica massacre was slow to trickle out," said Cameron Hudson, director of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide. "Because of the internet and social media, we see in real time what is happening inside Aleppo."
Srebrenica nevertheless provides some indications of what might yet come in Syria: a decades-long continuation of hostilities in various ways and a refusal to fully acknowledge responsibility. Despite more evidence being found every year, Serbian denial of the full scale of the massacre is on the rise.
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic recently claimed that the continued focus on the Srebrenica genocide was meant to "smear the entire Serbian nation as genocidal." Nikolic thanked Russia for standing by the country.
The facts in Srebrenica's case are hardly disputable. The massacre - described by former U.N. secretary general Kofi Annan as the worst crime in Europe since World War II and classified as genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia - is well documented. "Genocide occurred at Srebrenica. This is a legal fact, not a political judgment," Peter Wilson, Britain's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, said in 2015.
Yet, tensions continue to simmer. When Serbia's prime minister visited the memorial for the massacre last year, he was chased away by an angry crowd. Conspiracy theories still circulate in Serbia questioning the country's responsibility for the killing. And Serbia's judiciary continues to struggle with reconciling formerly hostile ethnic groups and its responsibility to prosecute those who were involved in the massacres.
Serbian leaders have singled out the focus on the 1995 massacre as an obstacle to reconciliation in the region - despite disagreement among leading genocide experts.
"Justice for mass atrocities and genocide are incredibly important for a number of reasons," said genocide expert Hudson. "Not only can the justice process help heal societies and provide closure for victims and their families, they serve as a deterrent against future crimes of that nature anywhere in the world."
The case of Srebrenica also puts a spotlight at the slow wheels of justice: As of last summer, only 14 individuals had been convicted of their involvement in the massacre. Radovan Karadzic, a former Bosnian Serb political leader and commander of military forces, was sentenced to 40 years in prison in March. But Karadzic and others are considered heroes by many Serbs, despite their proven crimes.
Those who have been prosecuted were all charged by an international court. The nationalist Serbian government has faced allegations of deliberately delaying trials in Serbia and attempting to slow down the U.N. tribunal based in the Netherlands.
"There is not a single aspect [of war crimes trials] without serious problems," Milica Kostic of the Humanitarian Law Center recently said, according to the Associated Press.
On Tuesday, another landmark Serbian trial was postponed. The trial of eight former police officers who allegedly killed hundreds of people in the massacre will be a test of the country's willingness to deliver justice. Relatives of victims have harshly condemned the fact that the eight defendants, who are Bosnian Serbs, are still not in custody.
More than two decades after the massacre, the people of Srebrenica still seek justice for the killings - and watch similar scenes unfold elsewhere in the world. Speaking to The Washington Post in 2012, Srebrenica survivor Emir Suljagic said: "It's obvious that we live in a world where Srebrenicas are still possible. What's happening in Syria today is almost identical to what happened in Bosnia two decades ago."
Since that interview in 2012, at least 300,000 more people have died in Syria, according to U.N. estimates.

Brio wooden railway

How many people - or people's kids? - here collect Brio wooden railway, or one of its competitors (Eichhorn, Thomas wooden railway)?
I personally have quite a large collection, and I'd be interested to see how many other people collect it - I've only ever met one family that does [which isn't saying much].
If you don't know what Brio is, check out this page. Most of my sets are much older than these, however.

Goodness. First Lego, now Brio.
When I was a kid (1970s) I had a lot of Toltoys trains, which are basically the same thing, only in plastic. The track was red and had points, double slips, turntables, bridges etc. There was also a matching roadway system with blue roads. Don't see a lot of it around anymore, but I do have a small amount of it aquired a few years ago.

Is that the wooden one? Sorry, I'm not familiar with Thomas sets
@b 67: I just discovered this site by accident, so I figured I might as well ask! After all, IMHO a wooden train is just as fun as a more mainstream model - especially mine [if I do say so myself!], since it fills four rooms of my house when it's out.

Hey, I'm not complaining David. It's just that I hadn't thought I'd see these types of trains being discussed here. But I do have a few of these kinds of things.
I still like the Toltoys trains. Had quite a big system that filled a room (not 4). But it's all gone now. I bought a few bits a few years ago that were going cheap, so it's a nice reminder.
One of the primary schools's I went to (Bentleigh West) used to have a box full of similar trains, though somewhat smaller (about TT gauge) that had electric locos with pantographs, a level crossing with 4 gates. I always wanted to take it home on the weekends. I have no idea who made it, and have never seen another like it.
I'm told my pre-school had some Brio trains, but I don't remember them unfortunately. They had these cute little carriages that you just couldn't buy for love or money downunder - until last year, when MTA [the distributor] ordered some in. I bought 16, but obviously nobody else did, because they've stopped carrying them again this year
Speaking of never seen again, for a while there was a wooden Sesame Street railroad, whose track was about half the price of Brio, and just as good (it was a different wood though). I bought heaps of it, but they discontinued that too. And now David Jones is discontinuing Brio as well, as of November. That sucks!
wooden thomas trains. look on ebay UK for some of the Brio thomas trains.
that littlecarriage is like some of the thomas trains.

My pre-school had Brio, I used to make city loop tunnels for it out of blocks
At home I had the toltoys one with the red track, it has since gone to live with my brothers kids in NSW.
My nephew (other brothers kid) has an ever expanding wooden thomas set.
I've seen cheaper versions of Brio with a heap of track for a fraction of the cost (about $20). I think I know what someone in my family is getting for their birthday if I can find it again. I think it was in Big W.

My kids have got a Tomica train set - blue plastic track and grey roads with a really neat level crossing - boom gates & all. They keep buying more track (mainly second-hand) from used-toy shops. The trains can be operated by hand or with batteries, with which they can move quite fast, and the boys get a real kick out of trying to operate the points in time before the train reaches them. All the points are hand operated so with more than one train running it's quite good fun. Some sections of track have a little lever on the side which raises a section between the rails, thus stopping the train there when it arrives. I have two young boys and they set this thing up so it takes up a whole room and stays set up for days, getting re-arranged every few hours.
Brio is also a great system, particularly because the size of it allows tight curves and therefore heaps of operation in a small space. Some of the toyshops have a Brio set permanently on display for kids to play at while parents buy their birthday presents - they are completely unaware, it's so engrossing.

I've seen it. Unfortunately the set is of shocking quality compared to Brio. Eichhorn and Thomas are better though.
@mars: is it real Brio or an imitation - and might you be interested in selling it?
All the packaging that i can remember had Brio (TM) written on it.
David, not selling YET. will one day tho....
Well, it was worth asking, then
Let me know if/when you are!
Will do David.

I was playing with a plastic set (sounds like what someone called a Toltoys set) with my nephew on the weekend. I used to have one but have not seen it for years,
As for the wooden sets, there is a place at Seven Hills in Sydney that imported a heap of sets (not brio, although they look pretty good) and are now selling them at basically cost price. If anyone is interested PM me and I can give you the details.

As a kid I had what was called the Child Guidance Railroad made by Questor. These were soft plastic trains with plain wheels and ran in grooved sectional track. AIUI they originally had silver/grey track when first made in the 60s (this type is now quite valuable) but by the early 70s when I got it they had red track. The range available was almost as wide as some "real" model railways, and they even had double slips!
Contact DavidB
maybenever: that's the sort of news that gets my undivided attention! Check your PMs shortly.
The good thing about wooden trains is that they are fairly robust (within reason). Kids can drop them or bash them accidentally without destroying them, which is good. That said, a relation of mine has a small Duplo (think bigger Lego) train set buried away in her cupboards someplace. They're great fun, and we still get them out occasionally.
Here's a sample of the Toltoys trains for anyone not familiar with them.
The track was red, road pieces were light blue. Locos, wagons and passenger carriages came in combinations of red, light blue, yellow and green. Wheels being black. The points came in moving and 'solid state' varieties (no moving parts - make the loco go one direction and the carriages generally followed). There were double slips (again, no moving parts) bridges, turntable, stations, buffer stops and also ramps that allowed the trains to go off the track (as a kid I didn't like these pieces ). Anyway, I can see similarities with this and Brio trains. Just these weren't made from wood.
I got a suitcase full of that stuff. great fun in sand pits. the only things that i dont have are the turntables and road peices in good condition.
Nice! I still don't like the down ramps - I always use them on siding ends (when I've run out of buffers).

I have a loco from one of these sets. No track though
Contact K160
When I had the railway out last week I added three more sets of these to the mix - as you can see, they are slightly more "detailed" in some ways, but at the same time less so in others.
Wow that brings back memories! I can also recall there were short adapter pieces that had a hole at each end (instead of a knob at one and a hole at the other). I too hated the ramps, although I usually put them on one of the turntable roads as a means of getting rollingstock onto the railway Of the things you mentioned I had:
-2 locos (one was yellow, the other was the same as the one in the pic)
-2 pass cars (one red, one blue)
-1 goods car (same as the one in the pic)
-2 sets of points (1 left, 1 right)
-1 double slip (may have had 2)
-1 turntable
-1 station (the building broke off!!)
-1 bridge (may have had 2)
Another thing I just remembered was that I had another set that was compatable (track fits) but had a darker coloured (burgundy?) track. The train I had for that was a small 'American' style loco and two end platform passenger cars. I think the couplers were also compatable. It all lived in the same box anyway. Maybe this was an updataed version of the original?
the small one would have been the original and the large ones would have been the newer one.
Wow that brings back memories! I can also recall there were short adapter pieces that had a hole at each end (instead of a knob at one and a hole at the other).
Ah yes. You're right. I never had any of them, but friends did. Actually, now that you mention this, I recall there was also a double 'knob' section for joining two sections of track at the 'hole' ends. It was just a '8' shaped piece of plastic.
I too hated the ramps, although I usually put them on one of the turntable roads as a means of getting rollingstock onto the railway Of the things you mentioned I had:
Which reminds me that I also had some sections of curved track that didn't have the sleeper / ballast detail between the 'rails'. It was just plain smooth red plastic. I think these came from cheaper sets or sets with a battery loco. I never owned one of those. Probably got the track secondhand.

Two people were injured after a fire truck collided with a Ford Taurus.
The accident occurred last month when an unidentified 64-year-old driver failed in his attempts to yield the right-of-way to an oncoming fire truck. The driver was traveling on the southbound side of Dexter Pinckney Road when he lost control of his vehicle and careened into the northbound side of the street, where he was hit by the fire truck.
The driver of the Ford and one firefighter were injured in the accident. Emergency medical services transported the injured parties to a local hospital where they were treated for their injuries. The driver was listed in stable condition and the firefighter was treated for minor injuries.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office is still conducting an accident investigation, but so far no legal action has been taken.

Q: Under ISPConfig 3 no account can login since resetting my MySQL root password I am running ISPConfig 3 under CentOS and I had to manually reset my MySQL root account password yesterday. Since resetting the password I haven't been able to login to ISPConfig's web interface with any account including my admin one.
If I try to login with username: admin and my password I get Error
Username or Password wrong.
I reset my MySQL root password.
mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpass' password 'roottest'

I logged into MySQL and reset admin password to test.
mysql -u root -p'roottest'
mysql> use dbispconfig;
mysql> database changed
mysql> update sys_user set passwort = md5('admintest') WHERE username = 'admin';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

I changed my mysql_clientdb.conf to the new password.
vi /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf
<?php
$clientdb_host                  = 'localhost';
$clientdb_user                  = 'root';
$clientdb_password              = 'roottest';
?>

I couldn't find a way to restart ISPConfig 3, or if it's even possible.
The same error from the ISPConfig login page still shows up when trying to login with u: admin p: admintest.

A: I don't think the root MySQL password had anything to do with my issues.
To solve this I found my current ispconfig mysql account password here.
vi /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config.inc.php

...
$conf['db_password'] = 'VERYLONGPASSWORDSTRING';
...

I then reset the MySQL ispconfig account password.
mysql -u root -p
mysql> use mysql
mysql> update User set Password = PASSWORD('VERYLONGPASSWORDSTRING') WHERE User = 'ispconfig';

I could then correctly get through the ISPConfig login page.

"No difference in voting Labour or Conservative" says Plaid Councillor with coalition imminent
The Vale council is facing a major revamp, after a major split in the Conservative Party, and the idea of a Labour-Led Coalition - headed by Neil Moore - to be put to the Council's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday evening.
Other parties within the Vale council have expressed their concern over the uncertainty caused by the splits and what that will mean for issues including the parking charge dispute, with Plaid Cymru leader in the Vale, Cllr Ian Johnson, saying:
"Plaid Cymru has always said that there is no difference in voting Labour or Conservative in the Vale as they have more in common than separates them.
"Here is the proof – a new council leadership where the last Labour leader and the last Conservative leader sit together.
"No wonder there was never any real opposition.
"Plaid Cymru believes that the Vale Council should focus on providing top quality public services rather than making cuts, raising council tax and making people's lives harder."
The split among the Conservatives comes after the decision by some to leave and stand as Independents instead, all of whom have since been suspended by the Party.
Council Leader John Thomas and his cabinet stood down after he lost the leadership vote to Cllr Vincent Bailey, who plans to put forward his own idea of a minority administration.
A statement released by the party said: "Jeffrey James, the Chairman of the Vale of Glamorgan Conservative Association, has today written to the six Vale Councillors, John Thomas, Hunter Jarvie, Geoff Cox, Jonathan Bird, Andrew Parker and Michael Morgan, to inform them that they have been suspended from the Conservative Party."
Thomas - whose resignation will come into effect after the councils AGM on Monday - will join the other Conservatives who left the party, including his deputy leader Hunter Jarvie, to form a new political group, called The Vale Independents Group.
Neil Moore's plan for a Labour-Led Coalition will include the The Vale and the Llantwit First Independents, which could see the former Labour council leader and the former Conservative leader working together.
A statement from the Vale Council said: "Notification has also been received from the group leaders of the Labour, Llantwit First and the Vale Independents groups of their intention to form a coalition administration following the election of a new Leader of the Council at the AGM.
"A new cabinet and cabinet portfolios will then be presented to the meeting, and new chairs for the Council's scrutiny and regulatory committees will also be proposed and elected at the meeting.
"The future allocation of committee seats will be published ahead of the AGM, once the political balance calculations that determine each group's allocation have been completed."


I don't think I was ever lost (not in the sense that The Lost Girls describe it anyhow) but in the past few months, I've certainly been "wandering." I had oh so many questions about the future. Too many. Appreciating the present, living in the moment, doing so completely? It was a seemingly impossible at the time.
I've found that it's really only in the United States that people ask, "What do you do?" immediately upon meeting. Elsewhere around the world the question just doesn't seem to be given as much priority, whereas here, we define each other by our professions. I knew I didn't want to graduate, join the societal crowd, and jump into a miserable, mediocre job just to have one and make money. But, I do think that I longed for a professional purpose. Surely I had worked so hard academically and internship-wise for something, right?
Yes, I'm still on a happy high about finally being employed. Sorry to be annoying. I wanted to work for an online start-up, grow with a company, do something I'm passionate about... and I am :). I feel like my life has more direction than ever before. I don't know which way I'm headed of course, but then again, I've realized that nobody does. Even if they pretend to. Woohoo, exciting!
There is a lot that I can figure out now though. Like, the ideal time to wake up in the morning so that I can shower, eat breakfast, and make my lunch without almost missing the train I'm supposed to get. Or, packing the right amount of food for the office so that I have enough to sustain me while also leaving just a bit of an appetite for dark chocolate covered goji berries, plantain chips, and edamame crackers. And then there's choosing a gym/fitness center/yoga studio. I went to the most amazing vinyasa class at the spa that is Pure Yoga East last night, but I doubt I'll be able to afford their monthly membership. So far I've only gotten as far as scheduling travel; this weekend I'm headed up to Syracuse, next weekend I'll be exploring newness in the city I call home, and the one after that (ready for this?) Denver, Colorado. It's decided: I am liking the now, I am liking the now a lot.
P.S. My sweet, dear camera has been officially repaired. Let the products of photography recommence!
I'm so happy for you that you're so delighted with your job! No need to apologize--you deserve all the happiness in your life!
You are such a smart woman, and know things it took me years to figure out! When I finally quit my MISERABLE frustrating corporate job this past fall, my biggest thought was that I was what I did for a living. Oh how wrong I was!
you know, i noticed that too when i was in australia, they never asked my profession...but they could probably tell i was just a student.
happy wanderings lady! i'm sure you're enjoying it a lot!
oh my, this was so great to read. especially since i had a similar revelation when i was in san francisco. amazing how travel can just teach you something everytime? i'm a lot more type-a than i realized, especially when it comes to thinking about the future and the whole trip just made me realize that hey, i need a chill pill. what is right now is right now. and what will be, will be.
dark chocolate goji berries sound amazing!
Meghan@travelwinedine: What a compliment! Thanks so much. In reality, I'm only figuring things out as I go along, but it's nice to know I'm on the right track. Hope you're enjoying the now to that same extent :).
Trying To Heal: Interesting, isn't it? Thank ya much!
whatevergatsby: Yes, yes it is amazing. I'm glad you were able to remember/realize such great things as well. Thank you!

IH Cape Town is part of the IH World Organisation with quality standards and teaching being our main objectives. Our newly renovated centre building, with aircon and heating, wifi, tours and travel desk and outside terrace. We are situated in the heart of Sea Point - a very vibey young place to be, amidst shops, cafes, banks and restaurants. Our own residential accommodation is within 5 minutes walk of the centre or choose from budget hotel, backpackers or host families. We teach all types of courses to our varied international clients that come to Cape Town for its culture, language and of course wonderful scenery and activities. Choose from our English for specific purposes to our Safari packages or even Study and Work programs and Volunteering. Come and study in this World Class City.
The Pilot announced "please put your seatbelts on, we will landing in a few minutes". After a relaxed flight, the driver from the Ih school brought me from the airport to my lovely host family. What a cool driver he greeted me with the typical African serenity and a big smile.
I was here, in my flat, for the next three months. My new family received me with a big hug. After a cool evening, it was great to sleep in a big bed, after 24 hours of not much sleep, what a good feeling. First day in my new country, my first school day to study english in Cape Town. The school, called International House, yes, and it`s very international, I will write more about this later in this report.
The school is in sea point, a very safe place, near the beach. For me, from Switzerland, a special and absolutely amazing place. You can enjoy your break on the balcony on the roof from the school. I could be here the whole day but i`m not just here to enjoy the view and have a break!
Back to school… I was not the only student who had his first school day. To start the day we had an exam to test our level. I was pleased, intermediate level for me, the lessons will start tomorrow. After a short tour of the school with the secretaries, it was lunchtime. The first school day was already finished.
Second day 9 o clock in the classroom after an introduction round with the students the lesson started. Now I`m in the third week at the school, I will give you a little review.
The first few days weren`t easy for me, because my vocabulary wasn`t good, but I built a friendship with the google translator, a very helpful gadget.
Certainly you can ask your teacher, or the secretaries for help if you need some. I only have school in the morning, perfect to visit the city in the afternoon. It doesn`t get boring, the school offers you many things to do, for example visiting the townships or hiking to the top of lions head. I wrote before about the name "International". Students from all around the world are here; Brazil, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Congo for example. I have made some good friends already in Cape Town. The best, in the end, is that you can`t speak your language from your home country, because the other people here don`t understand you, and think "what the hell does he want from me?".
For me the perfect way to learn English.
Last year, me and my friend tried to extend our visa to improve our language and to enjoy spending time in Cape Town and South Africa in general.
But the didn't allow for us and we couldn't stay more.
My friends now in New Zealand، because they get a 9 month visa to study English.
A lot of my friends change their destination to another country because of visa issues.
Other wise the school is perfect and the city is the best.
Best school ever. A friendly team and professional teachers!! You can combine learning English with a lot of social activities and tours.
Very good school with good teachers and freindly team.

Crystal Castles is een Canadese band. De band werd in 2003 opgericht in Toronto. De band bestaat uit Ethan Kath en zangeres Edith Frances. Het duo maakt experimentele elektronische muziek en ze maken daarbij veel gebruik van samples van computerspelletjes uit de jaren tachtig van de Atari. In oktober 2014 leek de band uit elkaar te gaan met het vertrek van Alice Glass. Het tegendeel werd echter duidelijk toen "Frail" en "Deicide" uitkwam met de nieuwe en (toen nog) onbekende zangeres Edith.

Geschiedenis
De band begint in 2003 als een soloproject van producer Ethan Kath. Hij vernoemt zijn project naar het luchtkasteel van She-Ra. In april neemt Glass vocalen op voor vijf nummers voor Kath, die oorspronkelijk instrumentaal waren. Een microfoontest van Glass komt in september 2005 op de Myspace van de band terecht onder de naam "Alice Practice". Alice wist hier niets van af, totdat ze door een platenmaatschappij werden benaderd voor een contract.

Auteursrechtenschending
In 2008 kreeg de band problemen met het schenden van het copyright, voor de promotie van hun werk. Ze gebruikten hiervoor een afbeelding van zangeres Madonna met een blauw oog, die was gemaakt door Trevor Brown. Ze hadden hiervoor naar verluidt geen toestemming gevraagd. De kwestie werd opgelost toen de band de rechten voor gebruik van de afbeelding kocht.

Mickey played 1…Kg7, the better move, and as I write this blog, the game goes on, with him having the worst of an ending, which I am hoping he can hold.
1..Kf8 would have been a blunder. 2 a5 and if 2…Bb5, 3 Bf7 and whichever way Black recaptures, the Bb5 falls to a check with fork. e.g. 3…Qf7 4 Qc5+, which is the difference between the two first moves: after 1…Kg7 there is no forking Qc5-+.
Note that the Ne4 guards f2, and the Qb5 guards b1, so there is no Qa2+-Qb1+ Q*e4. White consolidates.
After both 1…Kf8 or 1…Kg7, after 2 b5 Bb5 3 Bf7 Kf7? loses to 4 Qb3+. The difference between the moves is the Qc5+ after 1…Kf8.

I wanted to write and say a massive thank you. Unfortunately Claire and I were so totally bamboozled on the night we never got a chance to go and thank the band. They were absolutely superb! They really did a fantastic job all night and I know everyone enjoyed the music and the dance floor was full from the second they started till it all ended.
Claire and I are so grateful to them and just sorry we never got the chance to thank them in person. Please will you be sure to pass on our heartfelt thanks.
So pleased it all went well. It was great to work with you and I'm sure we'll speak again soon.


What's unusual is that 'island' nations do very well. I wonder if it has something to do with those nations being more outdoorsy and thus athletic? The US is below average. Although if you had the information you could redo this for medals gained by where an athlete trains. In that case most the US would move up some. But it's certainly not a great showing. Surprisingly the worst of all is China. Average US is still 5 times more likely to create a medal. It's notably inefficient. Even Ethiopia (not in this chart) scores better than China. I should point out that on this chart the worst is China. The absolute worst is India. Dead last among all nations. 3 medals for 1.2 billion people. They need to get cricket added pronto.
I also expect this chart will look pretty different after the Winter games; Jamaica and Cuba are less likely to do well there.
Don't give up hope. Bobsled ftw.
This made me think about an interesting ceiling factor here. Watching the opening ceremonies and reading this made me wonder how the ratio of Athletes to medals would work out. Turns out it's more complicated than you would originally think.
On the high side, a country can only send three to the olympics for a given sport (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091217173812AAS5a4h) - which leads to an odd effect. If a country is particularly good at a sport, they can ONLY win 3 medals at it regardless of how good they are. As a result, they could have the top 100 people in the world at bobsled, but they only get to send 1-3.
On the other side of the coin, countries that are bad a sport, but have a lot of money (think China and the US) may still send someone for a sport, even though they are terrible - such as Biathlon (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_Olympic_events_has_the_USA_never_won_a_medal_competing_in). USA still probably sends three, but Grenada sends zero. This tilts the ratio of athletes at a game vs. medal winners in favor of those poor countries, because they just don't send people in which they don't compete.
To your direct question, I feel like to some degree the sports that the Olympics host tend to be very specific to a country geography. Norway wins Biathlon because there's a lot of terrain that looks like the Biathlon there. Kenya wins marathons because there's a lot of terrain that looks like a marathon. Some sports are truly artificial (skeleton) and in those cases, it's whether they are "national" sports, but all this babbling still doesn't explain the island effect. I don't believe the Olympic Committee is considering "palm tree climbing" or "Pina Colada drinking" - yet.


What is that last pic? Indoor hand fishing?
Those are beautiful photos. I especially love the water features.
What replaced that JCPenney? I do know that Penney's no longer has stores in Hawaii (or is that Hawai'i?).
Bobby, Looking at the current directory (on the website), it looks like maybe the Barnes & Noble is where Penney's used to be...it's hard to tell, though. That would be on the main level. On the next level, all the storefronts are really narrow, so I guess they chopped it up into smaller stores. The biggest change to me is that there aren't as many local stores now; back then, Sears and Penney's were about the only national chain stores in the mall, but now all the stores are the same as the ones all over the mainland.
The big blocky fountain in the center photo is a George Tsutakawa, made and installed in 1966. It's called the Waiola Fountain. It appears to be one of his designs based on his paintings and sculptures of "Obos", in turn representations of the real obos, stacks of balanced rocks built in the mountains by travellers, as a sort of meditative act.
sculpture is still there. that is outdoor carp or koi fish pond. feeding frenzy when ya threw food in.
India Imports wasn't just for wannabe hippies. it was a fave of real ones too. where old navy is now. there was also party center. Vim and Vigor.
many cool old tropical decor "tiki' laden stores. thankfully we took pics too.
Ala Moana is my favorite shopping center in Hawaii. It's the biggest open-air mall in the world and the seventh biggest mall in the United States.

Court of Appeals of Ohio
No. 84AP-711
Decided May 21, 1985.
Dentists — Malpractice — Statute of limitations — March 15, 1982 amendment to R.C. 2305.11(A) — New one-year statute of limitations applicable to cause of action accruing before amendment, when — Equal protection — One-hundred-eighty-day extension for medical malpractice claimants not violative of Equal Protection or Due Process Clauses.
O.Jur 2d Physicians and Surgeons § 133.1
1. An amendment to the statute of limitations governing malpractice claims, R.C. 2305.11(A), may have retroactive application and, thus, bar a claim which accrued prior to the effective date of the amendment, provided the new limitation period still leaves the claimant a reasonable time within which to enforce his right after the effective date of the amendment.
2. The failure of R.C. 2305.11(A) to provide a dental claimant with a one-hundred-eighty-day extension in which to file his dental malpractice action, while at the same time providing potential medical malpractice claimants with the opportunity to obtain such an extension, is not violative of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Ohio and United States Constitutions.
APPEAL: Court of Appeals for Franklin County.
Gilbert L. Krone and John H. Lewis, for appellant.
Lane, Alton Horst, Jeffrey W. Hutson and Robert E. Hanson, for appellees.
STRAUSBAUGH, J.
This is an appeal by plaintiff from a summary judgment in favor of defendants and against plaintiff in the common pleas court.
The record indicates that plaintiff filed her complaint for injuries resulting from alleged improper dental treatment on December 14, 1982 sounding in dental malpractice alleging inter alia:
"33. The negligence of defendants consisted of the following:
"(a) Removing healthy teeth without just cause;
"(b) Extracting teeth without proper anesthetic;
"(c) Failing to detect an infection and failing to provide medical or dental relief from the infection;
"(d) Causing bone damage to plaintiff's gums and failing to provide medical or dental treatment for the removal of the bones;
"(e) Failing to have a specialist remove an impacted wisdom tooth;
"(f) Failing to discover and remove a suture which was placed in plaintiff's mouth by defendants;
"(g) Failing to make proper impressions for the dentures;
"(h) Failing to complete the work in the period of time agreed to;
"(i) Failing to properly prepare a set of dentures which fit correctly; and
"(j) Requiring plaintiff to wear improperly fitted dentures, thereby causing injuries to the inside of her mouth, gum infection and bone damage.
"34. As a result of defendant's negligence, as specified herein:
"(a) Plaintiff was required to employ another dentist to prepare a proper set of dentures.
"(b) Plaintiff has lost the use of her natural teeth and was required to wear ill-fitted dentures which caused extreme pain.
"(c) During the one-year and four-month period plaintiff was never able to use the temporary or permanent dentures for eating and, as a result, was required to follow a thoroughly liquid diet or a soft diet.
"(d) Plaintiff has suffered pain, anguish and humiliation because of her appearance while wearing the defective dentures.
"(e) Plaintiff has suffered mental anguish over the loss of her natural healthy teeth.
"(f) Plaintiff has been seriously and permanently injured; plaintiff has suffered great pain and mental anguish and will, in the future, continue to suffer great pain and mental anguish."
The trial court in its decision sustaining defendants' motion for summary judgment found that plaintiff's claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations, R.C. 2305.11(A), which provided (see 139 Ohio Laws, Part I, 2153):
"An action for libel, slander, assault, battery, malicious prosecution, false imprisonment, or malpractice, including an action for malpractice against a physician, podiatrist, hospital, or dentist, or upon a statute for a penalty or forfeiture, shall be brought within one year after the cause thereof accrued, * * *." (Emphasis added.)
Prior to the amendment of the above statute effective March 15, 1982 (see 139 Ohio Laws, Part I, 2153), the statute of limitations for dental malpractice was two years. Therefore, had the old statute of limitations been in effect, the filing by plaintiff of her complaint on December 14, 1982 would have been well within the two-year statute of limitations.
Plaintiff sets forth the following five assignments of error:
"1. The trial court erred by finding, as a matter of law, that appellant was required to file her claim within ninety (90) days after the effective date of amended R.C. § 2305.11.
"2. The trial court erred in finding, as a matter of law, that appellant discovered her injuries on September 24, 1981.
"3. R.C. Section 2305.11(A) is unconstitutional because it does not provide dental malpractice claimants the same 180-day extension period privilege as it provides to medical malpractice claimants.
"4. The trial court erred by finding, as a matter of law, that the limitation period was not tolled or suspended during the period of time appellant delayed filing her complaint while awaiting the completion of the appellees' insurer's investigation.
"5. The trial court erred by failing or refusing to consider appellees' judicial admission as evidence in favor of appellant."
With respect to the first assignment of error, "[s]tatutes of limitation are remedial in nature and may be generally classified as procedural legislation." Gregory v. Flowers (1972), 32 Ohio St.2d 48 [61 O.O.2d 295], paragraph one of the syllabus. The purposes served by the rationale underlying statutes of limitations are to ensure fairness to the defendant, to encourage prompt prosecution of causes of action, to suppress stale and fraudulent claims, and to avoid the inconvenience engendered by delay, specifically the difficulties of proof present in older cases. O'Stricker v. Jim Walter Corp. (1983), 4 Ohio St.3d 84, 88. The discovery rule, as recently articulated by the Supreme Court in O'Stricker, supra, is a two-pronged rule. First, a plaintiff must know or reasonably should have known that he has been injured; and second, a plaintiff must know or reasonably should have known that his injury was proximately caused by conduct of the defendant.
The Supreme Court in Baird v. Loeffler (1982), 69 Ohio St.2d 533, 535 [23 O.O.3d 458], held that an amendment to the statute of limitations governing malpractice claims may have retroactive application and, thus, bar a claim which accrued prior to the effective date of the amendment, "* * * `"provided such limitation still leaves the claimant a reasonable time within which to enforce the right"' * * *" (emphasis and citations omitted) after the effective date of the amendment. The court cites with approval Smith v. New York Central RR. Co. (1930), 122 Ohio St. 45, wherein the Supreme Court held that it could not be claimed that an unreasonable limitation had been effected by a change which allowed the parties to the controversy ninety days within which to begin their respective actions.
In Oliver v. Kaiser Community Health Found. (1983), 5 Ohio St.3d 111, the Supreme Court held that "[u]nder R.C. 2305.11(A), a cause of action for medical malpractice accrues and the statute of limitations commences to run when the patient discovers, or, in the exercise of reasonable care and diligence should have discovered, the resulting injury. * * *" In the case herein, plaintiff's deposition, which was attached to defendants' motion for summary judgment, clearly establishes that on September 24, 1981, the last time that she was treated by Dr. Jones, she had discovered and was aware of all of the alleged negligent acts set forth in her complaint and all of the alleged injuries resulting from those acts. Pursuant to the holding of the Supreme Court in Oliver, supra, plaintiff's cause of action for dental malpractice accrued, at the latest, on September 24, 1981. Pursuant to the one-year statute of limitations set forth in R.C. 2305.11(A), plaintiff had until September 24, 1982 to file her action for malpractice. However, she did not file her complaint until December 14, 1982, nearly three months after the statute of limitations had run. Accordingly, plaintiff had a reasonable time from the effective date of the statute, March 15, 1982, in which to file her claim; but she did not file her complaint within that reasonable time. Plaintiff's first assignment of error is overruled.
With respect to the second assignment of error, as we have previously stated, the deposition of the plaintiff is clear that the plaintiff discovered her injuries on or before September 24, 1981. There can be no dispute as to this fact. Therefore, under the law as set forth by Oliver, supra, and Clark v. Hawkes Hospital (1984), 9 Ohio St.3d 182, and for the reasons set forth in our discussion of the first assignment of error, inasmuch as plaintiff had discovered on or before September 24, 1981 the resulting injury, plaintiff's second assignment of error is overruled.
With respect to the third assignment of error, R.C. 2305.11(A) provides in part:
"If a written notice, prior to the expiration of time contained in this division, is given to any person in a medical claim that an individual is presently considering bringing an action against that person relating to professional services provided to that individual, then an action by that individual against that person may be commenced at any time within one hundred eighty days after that notice is given."
Plaintiff argues that the failure of R.C. 2305.11(A) to provide a dental claimant with a one-hundred-eighty-day extension creates an irrational classification and, therefore, is violative of the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Ohio Constitution and of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. At the outset, it should be noted that the letter in question states:
"This is to advise you that the undersigned has been retained to represent Alice Morley in connection with her claim for damages as a result of the dental service which you performed for her."
The letter asks that the recipient have an insurance representative contact plaintiff at an early date. Nowhere does the letter advise that the plaintiff is presently considering bringing an action against the defendants. However, even if the subject letter did provide such notice, different rights have long been established between dental malpractice claimants and medical malpractice claimants, as evidenced by the fact that until the recent amendment of the statute, effective March 15, 1982, the statute provided a one-year statute of limitations with regard to physicians but did not contain any similar provision regarding malpractice actions against dentists. Plaintiff's third assignment of error is overruled.
In support of her fourth assignment of error, plaintiff claims that the affidavit attached to her memorandum contra defendants' motion for summary judgment states "that appellant refrained from prosecuting her remedy in good faith because she was led to believe that appellees' agent, Cincinnati Insurance Co., would be undertaking an immediate investigation of the facts and would discuss amicable settlement without having to file a lawsuit." An examination of plaintiff's twenty-seven-paragraph affidavit does not disclose such a statement; what it does disclose is that defendants' insurer stated to plaintiff that her claim was being investigated, that defendants' insurance company would contact plaintiff's attorney regarding liability after the material had been evaluated and, finally, that defendants' insurer had concluded that there was no liability on the part of its insured. We find no place in plaintiff's affidavit where plaintiff stated that she was led to believe that defendants would discuss amicable settlement without plaintiff having to file a lawsuit. We find no facts in the record to support plaintiff's estoppel argument and, therefore, plaintiff's fourth assignment of error is overruled.
In support of plaintiff's fifth assignment of error, plaintiff states that defendants made a binding judicial admission that plaintiff's claim was governed by a two-year limitation period. This argument is based upon defendant's answer to question twenty-eight of plaintiff's first set of interrogatories as follows:
"28. On what facts do you rely to substantiate your allegation in Paragraph 11 of the Answer filed herein, that all or part of plaintiff's claim is barred by the applicable statute of limitations?
"ANSWER: This action was filed on December 14, 1982. All extractions were completed by October 1, 1980. The temporary dentures were fitted, seated and fully adjusted by October 15, 1980. The plaintiff was not seen again until March 20, 1981. Consequently, any cause of action for the removal of her teeth is barred by the two year statute of limitations."
An answer to an interrogatory is an admission only as to the facts at issue in the case and does not establish the law of the case which is established by the prevailing statutes and case law. The statement contained in the answer is a layman's opinion that this action would be barred by a two-year statute of limitations under the facts thereof; consequently, if the action would be barred under a two-year statute of limitations, it would necessarily be barred under a one-year statute of limitations. Plaintiff does not and cannot claim that she delayed the filing of her complaint in reliance upon the answer to the interrogatory inasmuch as the answer thereto was filed after the complaint had been filed, which was after the statute of limitations had run. Plaintiff's fifth assignment of error is overruled, and the judgment is affirmed.

Saving the Whistling Dogs
Student researches rare canid species
By Darrach Dolan
When Nicole Downey '20 signed up to help research dholes−also known as Asiatic wild dogs or whistling dogs−in the central mountains of Thailand, she knew it was going to be hard work.
For two weeks in January, Downey and her fellow researchers hiked through the mountains and jungles of Khao Yai National Park from dawn to dusk in search of the elusive dogs. At night they took shifts monitoring the traps they had set to capture dholes safely. The goal was to fit adult dogs with radio collars to learn more about their behavior, range and the location of their dens.
On their daily hikes, Downey and her teammates made sure their live traps were functioning, set up or moved camera traps, tracked paw prints and collected scat samples. In the field, they had to watch out for the pythons, cobras, scorpions, sun bears, Asiatic black bears and elephants among the many animals and birds that also call the park home "Elephants are quite good at sneaking up on you in the woods," Downey explained. "They're very quiet and can be territorial. We had to be aware of them in case they charged us."
Downey encountered a lot of wildlife— on her first day an elephant wandered through their camp, sambar deer were regular visitors and porcupines lived in the trees above her cabin. However, she did not see a single dhole. While this was disappointing, the dogs' elusive- ness and the lack of data about them underscored the importance of this re- search. Not only will it contribute to the scientific knowledge of a poorly under- stood species, but the dogs of the park face an immediate threat. The research team, led by Ranglarp Sukmasuang, Kasetsart University associate professor, is in a race against time to save them.
The park is a popular tourist attraction famed for its sambar—a large deer close in size to elk. A ranger told Downey he used to see hundreds of sambar on his patrols, but these days he is lucky to see 10 or 20. This crash in the sambar population is a problem for dholes. As the apex predator in the area (no tigers have been spotted there since 2005), some locals believe the dogs have decimated the sambar. If that were true, the park authorities would cull the dogs. With fewer than 3,000 dholes left in the wild, this could be catastrophic for the survival of the species.
Fortunately, the park authorities will let the scientific evidence determine what action they take to restore and preserve the diversity of the park. To date, the research shows that the dhole's population in the park, like the deer's, has crashed—pointing to a common cause for the declines. The current hypothesis is that because the wet seasons have been shorter and drier in recent years, the resulting lack of watering holes during the dry season has forced the deer and dogs out of the park and into conflict with humans.
Although no dogs were trapped while Downey was there, her team photo- graphed paw prints to determine pack sizes and collected scat, a lot of scat. Downey joked that her group collected more scat than any previous group. "We were touching a lot of poop, not glamorous work, but it was valuable." Analysis of the DNA in the scat shows the dholes eat civet, sambar and boar as well as smaller animals. In other words, they eat a mixed diet and do not rely on sambar. "Our work has real-world impact. It's going to save these dogs if we prove they are not the reason the sambar are dying."
This experience has taught her the importance of education to conservation efforts. In the short term, she has contributed to saving the dholes within the park by educating the local people and park authorities about the true relationship between apex predators and the health of their ecosystem. In the longer term, she hopes educating people about ecosystems may save them from destruction. "My career goal is to be in conservation education," she said. "We need more people to believe in conservation and that it's not all doom and gloom. It's something that is attainable if we all work at it."
Downey's trip to Thailand was funded through Wilson's Joan M. Thuebel '52 Earthwatch Prize. The prize sponsors a student or faculty member in alternate years to participate in an Earthwatch Institute research project. Downey chose the dhole project because she had never heard of the animals. This reaffirmed her conviction that education is key to saving the planet. If these apex predators within their ecosystem are relatively unknown— how many other species and ecosystems may be in danger simply because the public hasn't heard of them?
Downey learned that working in the field is hard but rewarding, but her calling remains in education. "I hope to teach people that little things that all of us can do, like recycling or getting more efficient cars or lightbulbs, are important. We've seen things are dying and we are heading into the sixth major extinction event. Science doesn't lie."
However, she believes there is time for us to turn back from the precipice. If a small band of researchers in the park can save the remaining dholes, she is sure that through educating and inspiring others to participate in conservation efforts we can save the planet for future generations of people and animals.

Not long ago, social psychology was a small field consisting of creative, energetic researchers bent on trying to study a few vexing problems in normal adult human behaviour with rigorous scientific methods. In a few short decades, the field has blossomed into a major intellectual force, with thousands of researchers worldwide exploring a stunningly diverse set of fascinating phenomena with an impressive arsenal of research methods and ever-more carefully honed theories.
The Encyclopedia of Social Psychology is the first resource to present state-of-the-art research and ready-to-use facts from this fascinating field. These two volumes include more than 600 entries chosen by a diverse team of experts to comprise an exhaustive list of the most important concepts. The Encyclopedia is written for students who may be encountering concepts such as social loafing, deindividuation, base rate fallacy, ego depletion and self-handicapping for the first time and want a simple, clear, jargon-free explanation of what they mean.

"The editors state that 'social psychology is the study of how normal people think, feel and act.' The contributors then describe many behaviors that fall within and outside wide normal limits. They include terms and theories that are used to study, explain and understand human behavior. Most entries begin with a definition and include appropriate subheadings to highlight important aspects, e.g., history, background, usage, verbal illustrations, evidence implications, and other labels that provide focus. See also references and short 'further readings' lists accompany each signed entry. Both volumes have a complete, highly detailed index that includes the subheadings and other relevant mentions of the term. The specialist nature of the vocabulary is evident in the discussion of such terms as 'elevation,' as being the desire to perform acts of charity, and as being moved by excellence in another person; and the 'Ringlemann Effect,' which means expending less effort as part of a group than when working alone. The set offers clear descriptions of commonly used and sometimes misunderstood term, e.g., cultural differences, authoritarian personality, and neuroticism. The field has expanded since publication of 'The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Social Psychology,' ed. by A Manstead and M. Hewstone et al. (CH, Jan'96, 33-2457), and this work is a valuable response to that. Summing Up: Recommended. All Levels."

FRANKFORT — Legislation that would create an investigative arm for the General Assembly will not be voted on this session.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, told the House State Government Committee on Monday that he would pull the measure so that he can work with legislative leaders to address concerns about the bill. He hopes to revive the proposal in 2010.
Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, had filed similar legislation in the Senate in February. Williams said that he would agree to table the issue.
Many rank-and-file members, the news media, State Auditor Crit Luallen and Attorney General Jack Conway had raised concerns about the original proposal for the General Assembly Accountability and Review Division.
