Attorney & Staff
Mr. David L. Gibbs has served as a Senior Estate Planning, Real Estate, Bankruptcy, and Business Partner at The Gibbs Law Firm, APC since 1993. In 2013, with the retirement of his father Gerald R. Gibbs, he stepped into the role of Senior Partner. Also in 2013, Mr. Gibbs accepted an appointment to the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) which is an exclusive, national organization of Estate Planning attorneys committed to a level of service and quality of work product that is rare in small firms. Mr. Gibbs is one of only two AAEPA appointed attorneys in Orange County, and one of only 26 AAEPA appointed attorneys in California. His appointment to the Academy represents a substantial commitment to the practice of Estate Planning law. Mr. Gibbs, in addition to other requirements of membership, must complete 36 hours of continuing education each year, compared to the 25 hours every three years the average California attorney completes. Appointment to the AAEPA provides the firm with big-firm, national resources while retaining the personal, hands-on approach cultivated over the past 41 years at the firm. His practice involves all aspects of Estate Planning, Trust Administration, and Business Succession Planning. Mr. Gibbs' focus in Estate Planning is the development of a life-long, proactive approach to protecting client's wealth, and preserving their Legacy through his unique Legacy Wealth Planning program.
In his Real Estate Transactional practice, Mr. Gibbs represents buyers and sellers of commercial and residential income real estate. In this role, he is often responsible for financial feasibility analysis, negotiations, contract preparation, due diligence, and pre-and-post-acquisition disputes. In his bankruptcy and business practice, Mr. Gibbs represents individuals, small and medium-size businesses in insolvency proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Mr. Gibbs also works regularly with individuals and businesses in out-of-court resolution of their debts.
Mr. Gibbs has, in addition to his role as the Senior Partner at The Gibbs Law Firm, APC, previously founded and operated several small businesses. As the former CEO of Homes of the West, LLC, a company Mr. Gibbs founded, Mr. Gibbs occupied a leadership role involved in establishing, launching, and operating a start-up Manufactured and Modular Home Sales and Development Company.
Mr. Gibbs oversaw all aspects of manufactured/modular home sales, real estate brokerage, and general contracting; including legal issues, financial analysis, contract negotiations, construction management, marketing, human resources, and customer service. As the former CEO, Mr. Gibbs represented nonprofit developers in new home development with factory-constructed housing, including single-lot developments as well as community development. Mr. Gibbs provided ongoing leadership and direction to a team of employees/agents and external sub-contractors and vendors. In the course of operating this business, Mr. Gibbs maintained a class "B" general contractor's license and a manufactured home dealer's license (the Manufactured Home Dealer's License has been retired). Mr. Gibbs still maintains his Contractor's & California Real Estate Broker's license and is an active member in the Pacific West Association of Realtors®. Homes of the West, L.L.C. was dissolved in 2009.
Prior to starting Home of the West, L.L.C., Mr. Gibbs started his first entrepreneurial venture – Pacific Housing Group, Inc. – in 1998. Pacific Housing Group, Inc. was started and operated as an independent Real Estate Brokerage and Consulting Firm. In his leadership role, Mr. Gibbs represented buyers, sellers, and developers in all aspects of real estate acquisition and development including title issues; hands-on management of all aspects of real estate brokerage, including direct responsibility for 75-100% annual growth for three years straight, balancing rapidly changing day-to-day needs of a small business, including operations, marketing, contract negotiations and enforcement, and management of 10 employees/agents; representation of nonprofit developers in subdivision and sales of subdivided units; representation of community associations in both management and consultative roles; ensuring compliance with DRE and other regulatory agency regulations and standards. After successfully growing the firm, Mr. Gibbs sold his interest to focus on his legal practice.
In his work as an Estate Planning, Real Estate, Bankruptcy, and Business attorney, Mr. Gibbs' experience with the start-up, management, and sale of multiple businesses gives him unique insight into the workings of small businesses and real estate transactions. Unlike many attorneys with no "real world" experience, Mr. Gibbs is uniquely qualified to represent clients in a wide range of Estate Planning, Real Estate, Bankruptcy, and Business matters.

Q: UICollectionView cell can't be selected after reload in case if cell was touched during reloading I use UICollectionView to display server-related information. This UICollectionView allows cells selection to display some nested data. Unfortunately if user touches and holds any cells during my app calls [collectionView reloadData] this cell doesn't react on touches anymore (collectionView:didSelectItemAtIndexPath: method isn't called).
I can select any cells except this one.
I created simple application that can reproduce this problem: link
Any ideas how to fix it?

A: As per @Alladinian's answer says that instead of use of [self.collectionView reloadData], use  self.collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:..... worked in your demo and also I did tried with
[self.collectionView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0]];

Its also worked properly.

A: Looks like a bug (I believe there is a similar issue where a cell.selected = YES without a -selectItemAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: caused the cell to be unable to be unselected)
However if you do this:
[self.collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:[self.collectionView indexPathsForVisibleItems]];

instead of [self.collectionView reloadData] it is working as expected.
Update: Found the answer of the issue mentioned above
Another Update: It appears that this indeed was a bug. Tested the original project on the iOS8 simulator and the issue now is resolved.

Q: Excel VBA: can't paste my function into a cell I'm trying to paste
=IF(AND(C4-C3<($I$1/1000),A4=A3),"OOOO","-----")

into a cell, which I do via
 Range("I3").Select
 ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(AND(C4-C3<($I$1/1000),A4=A3)," & Chr(34) & "OOOO" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "-----" & Chr(34) & ")"
 Range("I3").Select

That returns Run time error '1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error
I already tried double quotes and saw the & Chr(34) & workaround and tried that too. Nothing works.
Furthermore, something as simple as
 ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF("

doesn't work, but
 ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF"

does.
Strangely, this works in the code
Range("C3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=MID(B3,1,2)*3600+MID(B3,4,2)*60+MID(B3,7,9)"
Range("C3").Select

which I do earlier.
If I paste "=MID(B3,1,2)*3600+MID(B3,4,2)*60+MID(B3,7,9)" (instead of the string I'm trying to use), into the problem code while debugging and hit Continue, it will paste that line, so its not anything that happens in between the two statements. What happens between there is just some selection and copy/pasting but I'll include it here anyway if you want to look
    Range("C3").Select
  ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=MID(B3,1,2)*3600+MID(B3,4,2)*60+MID(B3,7,9)"
Range("C3").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("D3").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("K3:Z4").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("K1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Columns("H:H").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Cut
Columns("M:M").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Columns("I:I").Select
Selection.Cut
Columns("H:H").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("I3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(AND(C4-C3<($I$1/1000),A4=A3)," & Chr(34) & "OOOO" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "-----" & Chr(34) & ")"
Range("I3").Select

A: Quick answer:
You need to change either your formula to R1C1 style - or even simpler, assigned the formula to the .Formula instead of .FormulaR1C1 property.
Longer explanation:
Excel has two ways of referencing cells:

*

*The default A1 notation, where you refer to a cell by providing the column letter and the row number - and fix it to either row or column by prefixing a $.

*The R1C1 notation where you refer to a cell by specifying it row with R and the row number and the column with Cand the column number. If the number is provided in [] brackets, the reference is relative, without brackets it absolute. To use this notation, you need to set it in the Excel options (under Formulas)

The advantage of the R1C1 notation is that relative references do not change when applied to multiple cells! For example the A1 formula =A1+B1 entered in C1 would be =RC[-2]+RC[-1]. If the formula is now copied down column C, the row number will change in each row in A1 style (e.g. =A2+B2, =A3+B3, etc.). In R1C1 notation, it is exactly the same formula without any change.
In the normal Excel UI, this doesn't matter too much and is simply a matter of preference, as Excel automatically takes care of adjusting the formulas as long as you fix the absolute reference properly with the $.*
However, it becomes much more useful in macros and if you want to search&replace references! Imagine in the above example, you want to change the formula from =A1+B1 to =A1+A2 - everywhere that this formula is used. In A1, you cannot simply search&replace B1 with A2, as B1 will become B2, B3, and so forth. However, in R1C1, you simply reaplce RC[-1] with R[1]C and you're done.
For that reason, the Excel Macro Recorder also records the formulas in R1C1 - it is simply the same formula, no matter where you apply it to! However, every Range has a .Formula and a FormulaR1C1 property that you can set - and the other property will be updated accordingly. Therefore, use whatever style is suited be for your need.
In your case, the R1C1 formula would make sense, if you plan to use it also with other cells than I3.
A1:Range("I3").Formula = "=IF(AND(C4-C3<($I$1/1000),A4=A3),""OOOO"",""-----"")"
Range("J4").Formula = "=IF(AND(D5-D4<($I$1/1000),B5=B4),""OOOO"",""-----"")"
R1C1:strFormula = "=IF(AND(R[1]C[-6]-RC[-6]<(R1C9/1000),R[1]C[-8]=RC[-8]),""OOOO"",""-----"")"
Range("I3").FormulaR1C1 = strFormula
Range("J4").FormulaR1C1 = strFormula
HTH!
( * Interesting side node: in the first version of Excel, Microsoft used the R1C1 as the default notation, as it is superior to A1 in multiple ways. However, as Lotus 1-2-3 was the standard by then and A1 already accepted as the norm, it reverted this notation in later versions.)

A: your issue is using .FormulaR1C1 and not using an R1C1 style of formula.
If you look at your spreadsheet, you will see that C3 contains
=MID('B3',1,2)*3600+MID('B3',4,2)*60+MID('B3',7,9)
as it's translated your reference to strings, and the reeor refers to it's attempt to reference a cell with a formula it doesn't understand.
To use B3 (and C3, and the rest) you need to use .Formula instead:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=MID(B3,1,2)*3600+MID(B3,4,2)*60+MID(B3,7,9)"
ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(AND(C4-C3<($I$1/1000),A4=A3)," & Chr(34) & "OOOO" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "-----" & Chr(34) & ")"

What does it mean to be first generation American? I'm realizing as I grow into my own that 'first generation American' is a big part of who I am. Or, rather, it impacts a lot of who I am.
I'm an American. That's what I've called myself my entire life. I come from American. But I'm also extremely Filipino. If you've been to my house, met my family you know that's not an understatement. I'm also Indian, though with my mom and step-dad both being from the Philippines I culturally identify with being Filipino. So where does the Filipino end and the American start?
As I grow and mature (almost like cheese?) I'm realizing that my person, my blood, my history, is not American. The blood that flows through my veins is 50% Filipino. Filipino history is my history. I wonder if that would have been a good enough excuse to get out of those AP American History tests? Kidding. I was never in AP History.
As I age (like cheese?) I find myself full of the need to know more about the nation I call my Motherland.
This most recent trip to The Philippines my family took a road trip from Mania to Ilocos Norte. They made stops at historical sites and museums for me. My auntie, who was a librarian and honestly one of the smartest people, gave me informal lessons on our nation's heroes and history. Though my family and I did everything to answer my questions and to quench my thirst, I left the islands even more thirsty, with even more questions.
The pictures below only cover less than 10% of my trip. I regret that. I'm going back in December. I'm making it a point to not leave regretful.

Apple I computer heads to auction, could fetch half a million
Craig Lloyd | Jun 21, 2013
Another Apple I computer is heading to auction next week, and unsurprisingly, it could sell for a lot of money. The computer will open at $300,000 and it's estimated that it'll sell for around $500,000, but if there end up being some avid Apple I enthusiasts bidding on the artifact, the selling price could go even higher.

When we think of computers the thought of a 37 year old handmade system from 1976 doesn't sound too exciting.

Трговачко - занатлијска школа у Пироту је основана одлуком Владе 30. септембра 1878. године. Министар просвете је послао допис начелнику пиротског округа како ова "школа може да допринесе индустријске и привредне потребе Пирота".

Историјат
Како су то биле године после рата, упис ђака није ишао глатко. Нико није био Првобитно заинтересован да упише ову школу. Предмети у Школи су били: српски језик, зоологија, нотно певање, историја, земљопис, рачуница, цртање, краснопис, хришћанска наука, црквено и световно певање.

Предавања су почела да се одвијају тек 22. новембра те године са укупно два наставника и једним послужитељем. Настава се изводила по Привременом наставном плану и програму где су се у првом разреду училе науке и вештине за трговачки занат. Школа се налазила у општинској згради поред Старе цркве у Пазару. На крају школске године у јуну месецу је долазио изасланик Министарства просвете како би испитивао ђаке. Томе су присуствовали и наставници и родитељи ђака.

1879. године је наставник и управник Школе, Раша Милошевић имао проблема са простором те је молио Министарство да му се додели просторија за други разред. Ђаци су наредне школске године били слаби и дангубили су. Начелник пиротског округа видевши проблем, пише Министарству просвете где изражава жељу да се ова Школа претвори у двогодишњу гимназијску реалку. 11. октобра стиже одговор те је министар дозволио да се Трговачко - занатлијска школа поистовети са гимназијом и да предмети буду исти. Министар је обавестио начелника да наставници морају да удесе програм према томе и да ову вест пренесе грађанству: "Трговачко - занатлијска школа се преобраћа у гимназијску реалку".

То је уједно био и крај Трговачко - занатлијске школе у Пироту пошто се поистоветила са гимназијом.

← Princeton Students Compete in Carmi, IL
Martial Arts Monday: Acting on Instinct →
Wheatley Promoted to 5th Degree Black Belt
ENGLISH, Ind. — Nathan Wheatley of Olney, owner and chief instructor of Olney Taekwondo Center (OTC) in Olney and Princeton Martial Arts in Princeton, Ind., received a promotion to 5th degree black belt here Sept. 20 at Kyumson Taekwondo Alliance (KTA) Black Belt Camp.
Master Jason Wadley, 8th degree black belt from Lake Jackson, Tex. and president of the United Taekwondo Alliance (UTA), headed the testing, with KTA director Master Kevin Roberts, 5th degree black belt from Mattoon, assisting.
"This was the toughest test I've ever had," Wheatley said after the event. "I definitely had to earn this new rank."
With this promotion, Wheatley also earns the title of junior master.
"It's a bit surreal to be Master Wheatley," he said. "I've trained for 22 years, and to finally be at this level is very humbling."
Wheatley, a native of Mt. Carmel, began training in taekwondo in November, 1991, under Master David Foshee, now a 6th degree black belt. He earned his black belt in January, 1995, and has been actively teaching since 1999.
Wheatley came to Olney in 2003 to found his own school, opening Olney Taekwondo Center in December of that year. In 2012, Wheatley expanded to a second location, Princeton Martial Arts in Princeton, Ind.
In addition to his taekwondo training, Wheatley has trained extensively in other martial arts. He currently cross-trains in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kali, and will test for black belt in hapkido in January, 2014.
"I think it's imperative for an instructor to always be a student," he said. "My cross training has not only given me more knowledge to impart to my students, it's taught me more about taekwondo itself."
Wheatley teaches all classes at Olney Taekwondo Center and Princeton Martial Arts, and looks forward to sharing his increasing knowledge with students.
"Ultimately, everything I do is for them," he said. "Being a great instructor is my first priority."
As Olney's only dedicated martial arts training facility, OTC strives to provide quality martial arts instruction by blending traditional values with modern training techniques, offering programs in traditional taekwondo, mixed martial arts (MMA), self-defense and KickFit adult cardio. All of OTC's instructors have met stringent instructor certification requirements and teach a standardized curriculum. OTC is located at 233 E. Main St., across from Arcadia Cinemas, and can be reached at 392-3800 or http://www.olneytkd.com.

"Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved." – Mattie Stepanek, American Poet.
When I walked into the Shortlidge Boys & Girls Club today, the only word that came to mind was "unity." There was laughter. There was camaraderie and fun. There was a effortless synergy in the camp – a seamless system that operated from mutual understanding, respect, and friendship.
The SLC Shortlidge team includes Operations Specialist Michael Chen, a rising junior at Newark Charter High School, Instructional Coach Casey Krouse, a third grade teacher at Family Foundations Academy, Instructional Coach Laura Knappenberger, a third grade teacher at Gateway Lab School, and Curriculum Director Anthony Bonaddio, a Student Support Specialist.
From the very beginning of the summer, the leader of the team, Bonaddio, made sure everyone felt welcomed. Before curriculum started, he met with everyone to discuss their personal goals for this summer. They then, as team members do, listened to his. Knappenberger testified to the fact that there wasn't a long acclimation period because their personalities mixed and blended naturally well and quickly.
The Shortlidge team, as is expected at any camp, was met with many obstacles. Scheduling, timing, understaffing, inconsistency, supplies…all daily struggles. Yet, I could tell by their dynamic that there was never a moment of discouragement or doubt. They problem solved together, going outside of their job descriptions to help one another. Whenever an issue arose, they always asked each other for advice – in the belief that everyone's input is valuable, regardless of age or background.
As I saw the team interact and work together, it was apparent that even on the most stressful of days, they had fun. They clearly enjoy being around each other and exercised their ability to speak freely. This comfort level has spread to the rest of the B&G staff. Each member of the SLC team has sat down multiple times with all of the counselors, to check in and simply talk. "It doesn't feel like the SLC team and the B&G Club team are separate…we are connected – we are all in this together," says Chen.
These teams have worked together to utilize the resources they have been provided, teach the curriculum with fidelity, and turn this summer experience into one the kids will always remember. During capture the flag last week, the counselors tailored the lesson so they could play outside on a larger scale. They knew what would keep the kids engaged, and this is the sort of spirit they inject into everything they do.
Shortlidge has truly taken the spirit of collaboration to heart. They have learned how to maximize their potential as a team and execute a high-quality summer experience for our highest-need youth. This represents everything the SummerCollab stands for at it's core. This is about teamwork – this is about collaboration – this is about unity and love.

Ankle Anatomy
Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, Orthopaedic Specialists, Cypress, Houston, TX || Specialties || Foot & Ankle || Ankle Anatomy
What Is the Anatomy of the Ankle Joint?
The ankle joint has a complex anatomy. Commonly referred to as a single joint, the ankle is actually made up of two distinct joints: the true ankle (talocrural) joint and the subtalar joint, both of which are composed of various articulating surfaces and ligaments. Along with the muscles and tendons in the lower leg and foot, these joints must work together to provide stability and support to the body and facilitate a wide range of movements, including walking, running and jumping.
The anatomy of the true ankle joint
Three bones come together to form the talocrural joint: the tibia and fibula in the lower leg, and the talus in the foot. Held together by strong ligaments, the tibia and fibula form a bracket-shaped socket (mortise). The wedge-shaped end of the talus fits snugly into the mortise. A hinge-like structure, the true ankle joint allows the foot to bend upward and downward.
The anatomy of the subtalar ankle joint
Two tarsal bones at the end of the foot – the talus and calcaneus – are connected by a strong ligament to form the subtalar joint. Enclosed within a joint capsule, which is lined with a synovial membrane and strengthened by a fibrous external layer, the subtalar joint is supported by three other ligaments: the posterior talocalcaneal ligament, the medial talocalcaneal ligament and the lateral talocalcaneal ligament. The subtalar joint allows the foot to bend from side to side.
The ends of the bones in each ankle joint are covered with hyaline cartilage, which is made of collagen and other proteins. This protective covering absorbs shock, reduces friction and allows the bones to glide smoothly against each other during movement.
Why is the ankle prone to injury?
Due to the complexity of its anatomy and the significant pressure it sustains on a daily basis, the ankle is susceptible to injuries, such as strains, sprains and fractures. While these injuries are common in sports, they can also result from a fall, trauma or walking on an uneven surface during daily activities.
At Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine of Houston, TX, our experienced orthopedic specialists provide a full range of treatment options — both conservative and surgical — for ankle injuries.

Silent Volume
His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz (1914)
I love, love, love His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz, because it creates a world I cannot pull back from or forget. That world is cheap, corny, and shoddily made; but so what? Better that a film glory in what it is than strive and fail to be something else.
His Majesty was the second of only five features produced by the Oz Film Manufacturing Company. It was bookended by The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914) and The Magic Cloak of Oz (released 1917), both terrible films. His Majesty shares some of their flaws: uninspired acting and direction, vague plot, near motionless camera—but its pacing is better, and for all their silliness, its characters seem to believe in what they're doing.
You'll know a lot of them. There's Dorothy, that girl from Kansas; there's the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, and the Wizard himself, all more or less intact, as per your memories. This is not the original story though.
Dorothy (Violet MacMillan) first appears as a captive of the witch Mombi (Mai Wells), who is not a Witch of the West, or any other direction, but more of a freelance caster of black magic. Upon escaping Mombi, Dorothy meets the Scarecrow (Frank Moore), and later the Tin Woodman (Pierre Couderc), who's a bigger brute than Jack Haley could ever be, and resides in a castle made of tin. The Lion is an actor (Fred Woodward) in an animal suit. Woodward excelled at mimicking four-legged beasts, and plays several more in the film.
You may not be familiar with the rest. Besides Mombi, we've got King Krewl, the preening monarch of Oz, whose niece, Gloria (Vivian Reed), is in love with the gardener's son, a boy named Pon (Todd Wright). Krewl disapproves. There is also a living sawhorse, a clever donkey, several more witches, and a boy named Button-Bright, who serves no purpose at all.
Pon needs to go, so Gloria can be married off for political advantage. Krewl has an idea: why not "freeze her heart" so her love for Pon is extinguished? He turns to Mombi for help.
Here's how Mombi does it. She captures Gloria and ties her to pillar. With an incantation she summons three other witches (one in full demonic garb) and combines their powers with her own to create a cauldron-full of magic potion. Then, in a pretty sexy close up, Mombi pours a ladel-full of the stuff over Gloria's blouse. Mombi now cups her empty hand just below Gloria's breasts. A heart (imagine a stuffed heart in the shape of a real one) appears in her hand, and ices over. The now-frozen heart disappears, and Gloria's capacity for love goes with it.
Wikipedia describes Mombi "pulling out her heart," but that's wrong. Nothing is pulled from Gloria's chest. What we see is a figurative heart appearing, literally, in Mombi's hand, then being literally frozen, so that Gloria will—figuratively speaking—be incapable of love, since hearts do not, literally, generate it.
Chew on that.
His Majesty holds fast to this hybrid of theatrical and cinematic realities. Giant cartoonish animals spar with humans, with no contradiction, or even a Mary Poppins-style mixture of media, implied. At one point, Dorothy, perplexed at Gloria's zombiefied state, presses her ear to the princess's chest, then recoils from the cold. There is no verisimilitude in the film. There's no sense of a passage of time either, nor geographical position, at least relative to any other position. All things are equivalent, so long as they share the screen.
The actors wear costumes fit for a Halloween party, and perform as though they're attending one. Imagine a guy dressed up like a king, spooning himself a drink from a punch bowl. You walk up to him and say, "Your Highness! Why are you getting your own drink? Where's your servant?" And then he says, "We agree!" and puts on royal airs. That's the level of acting you'll see in this film.
If the sets, costumes, and events themselves defy reality, why should actors uphold it?
His Majesty isn't all fun. Mombi rips the Scarecrow apart in one early scene, whipping his head and strawless carcass around like a sandy towel. The Tin Woodman later beheads the witch, though the results are temporary. Both scenes would feel out of place if everything else weren't out of place in some way too.
At 60 minutes, with little character development and a rigid camera, the film ought to drag. It never does, because both its big scenes and its standalone comedy sequences are brief. In a more logical film, with a more logical world, the latter would be gratuitous and false, but this Oz has no mean; no standard—so everything belongs and nothing is too much.
Late in His Majesty, the heroes must storm Kastle Krewl from the sea. "The Wall of Water," an intertitle announces. We see the girl from Kansas, and the straw man, the metal man, the lion, and the rest, floating on a raft that gradually tilts upward. The actors cling to the raft in great terror. Then the raft, and even the water, tilt steeply downward. That's your wall. Just a tilt of the camera. Cheapest effect around. But see if you don't move your head.
Anything can happen in Oz, perhaps because the creators of Oz didn't know what they were doing. But the result is still a unique, memorable, and most of all, intriguing place. Sometimes, it even awes.
Where to find His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz:
MGM's three-disc release of The Wizard of Oz (1939) includes a complete version of His Majesty film, along with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910); The Magic Cloak of Oz; and a 1933 animated short, The Wizard of Oz. The set also includes the second film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz: Larry Semon's 1925 version.

On to the final challenge. Thanks to the mechanical skill of our mighty Mage Flitch, adds were trivialised on this fight. Jaina next!
Red is skull. After having to remove the mutes and colour blind raiders, we managed to take Mekkatorque down. Well balanced boss with an interesting amount of personal responsibility.
Our creative placement of the death's door took the edge off this fight, a clean kill was easily achievable once Phase 2 was executed properly.
Requiring some perfect kill timing, this boss challenged players in a new way but provided a very linear challenge.

Secret Service to Investigate Agent Who Wrote She Wouldn't Take a Bullet for Trump
Emily Ferguson - January 27, 2017 11:57 AM
The Secret Service is investigating one of its agents who wrote on Facebook that she would rather face "jail time" than "take a bullet" for President Trump.
The agency told the Washington Examiner this week that its Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the matter.
Kerry O'Grady, the agent who heads the Secret Service's Denver office, posted on Facebook in October that then-candidate Trump was a "disaster" for the country, and that she would rather go to prison than "take a bullet" for him if he were elected president.
O'Grady was dismissed on Wednesday from the elite group the Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service, also known as Old Star, because of the derogatory post, the Washington Examiner reported.
The Facebook post initiated an investigation to find out if O'Grady wrote the anti-Trump message–in which she endorsed Hillary Clinton for president–while she was at work, which would violate the Hatch Act for Secret Service Agents. The act, which O'Grady also mentioned in her message, specifies that agents may not use social media or any email account while at work to post partisan views that either advocate for or degrade a candidate, political party, or political office or group.
"As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle not to violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median," O'Grady wrote in October. "To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position. Despite the fact that I am expected to take a bullet for both sides."
"But this world has changed and I have changed," she continued. "And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her."
O'Grady was responsible for the Secret Service's Denver district, and collaborated with Washington Secret Service teams to organize presidential and candidate trips to the Denver area.
For seven months O'Grady used Facebook as a platform to post about the election, endorsing Hillary Clinton and disparaging Donald Trump. O'Grady was friends with other agents on Facebook, and at least one complaint was filed to the office that handles Secret Service agent misbehavior.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner on Monday, O'Grady said that she would not let her views of Donald Trump affect her job.
"But I recognize that the agency is the most important thing to me. My government is the most important thing to me," she said. "I serve at the pleasure of the president, but I still have the First Amendment right to say things."
Two days later, the board of directors of Old Star unanimously voted to expel O'Grady, and sent out an email to all members to confirm her expulsion. They arrived at the decision after O'Grady attempted to log into the organization's website and was denied entrance, the Examiner reported.
"By 12:00N January 25, 2017, a motion was made by me and seconded and given to the Board of Directors to address the expulsion of Associate Member O'Grady…" Jan Gilhooly, president of Old Star, wrote. "[O'Grady] engaged in conduct deemed by a majority of the Board to be detrimental to the Association of the U.S. Secret Service."
"I urge all members to remember that this now constitutes a 'Personnel Action' and as such the Agency is precluded from discussing certain information outside of their officials," he continued. "Thank you to all who made your feelings on this issue known."
The Secret Service announced that its main internal ethics body, the Office of Professional Responsibility, or RES, would continue to investigate the incident. O'Grady could be put on administrative leave.
The Secret Service issued a formal statement on Wednesday night:
In late 2016, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) referred allegations of an employee's social media post to the Secret Service for our review. An inquiry was conducted into the matter and action was taken.
On Monday evening, January 23, this same employee self-reported contact by a member of the national media regarding their social media posts. On Tuesday, January 24, the Secret Service contacted the DHS OIG who declined to take the matter for further review and referred the matter back to the Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility (RES) for action. Currently, the Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility (RES) is investigating the matter.
All Secret Service agents and employees are held to the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct. Allegations of misconduct are taken seriously and investigated.
Joseph Clancy, the director of the Secret Service, notified all employees of the formal investigation in an email on Wednesday, asking them for "patience while the RES conducts their investigation."

Assar Thomasson started a plumbing company in Marbäck in 1951. Like most plumbers, he considered different ways of improving and developing the products within the industry. The result was the company BT-ventiler, which manufactured the so-called vacuum clip valve that prevented drips from the injectors in oil burners. Another product was Termoshunt, which used bimetal regulation of the supply temperature, and was controlled by a liquid-filled bulb placed outdoors.
In 1981 Termoventiler AB was established with the aim of developing and selling valves and automatic controls for accumulating heating systems under the trademarks Laddomat® and Thermomatic.
After running the company successfully, Assar Thomasson retired and handed over to his son Anders who further developed the company and the products. In 1998 the operations moved to purpose-built premises in Marbäck in the beautiful Ulricehamn Municipality, where all the company's products are manufactured.
In 2006, Anders Thomasson sold the company to the Pomona Group – a strong and long-term industrial owner that is owned by the Rapp family.
From 2017, Termoventiler is a part of a new company family, Debe Flow Group, with the same strong owners as us, namely the Pomona Group. This is a natural step for Termoventiler, as the company over the last years has developed from being a component supplier to also act as a system supplier in waterborne heating systems. This segment is closely related to the area which Debe Flow Group is working in today. Debe Flow Group is a swedish company that manufactures pumps and services for geo-energy and water wells.
Termoventiler is very well equipped to meet the future, both in terms of financial position and product development. Together with Debe Flow Group we can now make Termoventiler reach new levels.
Termoventiler now employs about 15 employees in Sweden, and also own an affiliate company in Germany – TV Termoventiler GmbH. We manufacture our products in nice and purpose-built premises, which has been enlarged over the last years to be able to accomodate the expansion that the company is in. We are represented in several countries through agents and boiler manufacturers who use our products.
