Honeypreet's ex-husband approaches police, claims threat to his life
News Agencies | Updated on: 28 September 2017, 15:10 IST
Former husband of absconding Honeypreet Insan, the foster daughter of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, on 28 September approached the police claiming threat to his life.
HoneyPreet's Ex-husband Vishvas Gupta claimed to have received threat to his life and therefore he had filed a complaint with the Sector 4 police post here.
On September 22, Gupta claimed that Honeypreet wasn't Ram Rahim's adopted daughter and no legal adoption process had taken place.
"In no way Honeypreet is Ram Rahim's daughter. I want to clear this in front of everyone that no legal adoption was done. It is all a sham," Gupta told the media.
However both, Ram Rahim and Honeypreet, called themselves as father-daughter, but Gupta had accused both of having an illicit relationship with each other.
He also revealed that Ram Rahim used to carry arms and weapons in a big box wherever he used to travel.
"Ram Rahim always used to keep a big box of arms and weapons along with him. Wherever and in which ever car Gurmeet used to travel, his bodyguards used to keep the weapons box in that car," he said.
Gupta further said that Ram Rahim is very powerful even though he is in jail.
"Ram Rahim made us play a game like Bigg Boss in his cave. We were six couples (family members) and spent 28 days there. Ram Rahim used to call me and my wife Honeypreet to his cave. He also used to take Honeypreet to his room for more than hours. We had deep faith on Gurmeet Singh. He treated me as his son-in-law," he added.
Haryana witnessed uproar by Dera Sacha Sauda followers after Ram Rahim was convicted in the rape cases by the special CBI court on 25 August, leaving about 41 people dead and injuring more than 250 people.

Q: Select option value on click I want to select option value on ".color" click

     Colour

        <select class="gfield_select" id="input_1_2" ">
            <option value="--- Please select ---">--- Please select ---</option>
            <option value="Black"> Black</option>
            <option value="Blue"> Blue</option>
            <option value="Brown">Brown</option>
        </select>

And I try
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".color").click(function(){
        $(".material_color_select .gfield_select").val('Black').attr('selected', true);
    });
});

But it doesn`t work
Thanks

A: You don't need the attr() call, just .val('Black') will do it:
$(".color").click(function(){
    $(".material_color_select .gfield_select").val('Black');
});

Note that you will also need to remove the trailing space after the value attributes:
<select class="gfield_select" id="input_1_2">
    <option value="">--- Please select ---</option>
    <option value="Black">Black</option>
    <option value="Blue">Blue</option>
    <option value="Brown">Brown</option>
</select>

Example fiddle

A: Just use the below code for that:
$( "#input_1_2" ).val();

Or, if you want the selected field text, just use the below:
$( "#input_1_2 option:selected" ).text();

Q: jQuery not defined when using IIFE I'm trying to implement a Livesearch list onto a page where it takes an array and its objects and by using the search box, will filter matches and only show match of the search term,
The issue I'm having is that when looping through the array items using a forEach and trying to append the results to the DOM,

jQuery is Not defined

Essentially the code should grab the array, loop through the array, grab the building names and append each to the .list DIV as h4 items.

//testItemsArray
//array will contain objects used in the mockup for a livesearch function on the map pages.

var testItemsArray = [{
  id: '1',
  building: 'building1'
}, {
  id: '2',
  building: 'building2'
}, {
  id: '3',
  building: 'building3'
}, {
  id: '4',
  building: 'building4'
}, {
  id: '5',
  building: 'building5'
}];

(function($) {
  $search = $('#searchbox'); // This is used for the filter input field

  var buildingList = '',
    buildingh4 = '';

  testItemsArray.forEach(function(buildings) {
    buildingh4 = "
" + buildings.building + "
";
    buildingList += buildingh4
    $('.list').html(buildingList);
  });
}(jQuery));

A: You should place this line of code before closing the body tag. Instead of using IIFE, use document.ready
In your code, you put your list.js before jquery.min.js, that's why you get jQuery is undefined error.

Woodland Terrace and the Natchez Connection
Post author By Steven Ujifusa
S 41st St & Woodland Ave, 1963.
Houses on Woodland Terrace, 1963.
In light of the impending demolition by the University of Pennsylvania of the David Porter Leas mansion at 40th and Pine, it is a good time to revisit the life and work the man who designed it….
Longwood Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi sits just as it did in 1861, when scores of carpenters laid down their tools and fled to their homes up North. The largest and grandest of this summer colony's mansions, Longwood is a bizarre blend of styles: an octagonal Italianan Renaissance palazzo crowned by a Byzantine onion dome. The houses's owner, cotton planter Dr. Haller Nutt, died one year before the Civil War ended, and his impoverished family moved into the basement. Right out of a William Faulkner novel, it was known simply as "Nutt's Folly."
The career of Longwood's designer followed a similar trajectory: astonishing success and extravagance followed by decline and neglect. Samuel Sloan (1815-1884) was not a Southerner, but a Philadelphian. A native of Chester County, Sloan was trained as a carpenter, a common vocation for up-and-coming architects before formalized training was available in the United States. Sloan was an artist to a certain extent, but he was also a very practical and aggressive businessman, described by a biographer as, "brash, opportunistic, inventive, a quick learner and a driving worker who was hungry for success and who had, throughout his life, an abiding belief in America's destiny."*
During his peak in the 1850s, Sloan specialized in speculative suburban twin homes for the upper-middle class and mansions for the wealthy. Sloan's blue ribbon commission was Bartram Hall, a veritable castle for railroad baron Andrew Eastick that included the grounds of the old John Bartram estate. It was probably the Eastwick palace that attracted the attention of the eccentric Dr. Haller Nutt, who probably instructed Sloan to outdo his Philadelphia counterpart.
Bartram Hall is long gone, but his residential designs are still extent in the Philadelphia "Streetcar Suburbs" of Germantown, Chestnut Hill, and West Philadelphia. Perhaps his most famous surviving commission is Woodland Terrace, erected in the early 1860s for developer Charles M.S. Leslie. Woodland Terrace occupies a small side street near the intersection of 40th and Baltimore Avenues (immediately to the north of scenic Woodlands Cemetery) and consists of several four-story Italianate twins and detached houses. This gem of a development is one of the last expressions of the "picturesque" suburban movement that reached its height before the Civil War.
Sloan's signature Italianate style is a romantic interpretation of the Tuscan villas of the Renaissance. According to James C. Massey and Shirley Maxwell, the Italinate style was "every bit as romantic as the Gothic Revival but infinitely better adapted to the freer (and more family-oriented) lifestyle of an increasingly large and prosperous middle class."* It is defined by flat roofs, large overhanging cornices supported by elaborate brackets, and as well as whimsical features such as campanile towers, conservatories, and cupolas. Cross ventilation was important in Philadelphia's humid summers: these houses boasted large floor-to-ceiling windows and generous porches overlooking tree-shaded streets. The exterior walls were either exposed random-cut ashlar or stuccoed.
During the late nineteenth century, most of the big twin houses on Woodland Terrace were owned by Center City merchants who commuted to work on the horse-drawn trolleys.*** Because of its proximity to the University of Pennsylvania, Woodland Terrace and the immediate area also became a favorite address for faculty and for the city's early twentieth century "creative" class. Paul-Phillipe Cret (professor of architecture and designer of Rittenhouse Square, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the Rodin Museum, and the original Barnes Foundation) lived with his wife in a large twin at 516 Woodland Terrace and frequently hosted dinners for students in true French fashion. Just to the north, artist Adolph Borie occupied a Sloan-designed villa at 4000 Pine Street, which included a walled garden and a modern studio addition. During the 1920s, the Bories hosted salon-style parties where artists, writers and the city's moneyed elite could freely mingle.****
After the Civil War, Sloan's picturesque but relatively restrained style fell out of favor, and was replaced by the "baroque" grandeur of the Second Empire a and the cool classicism of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The once-prosperous Sloan fell on hard times, and supported himself by publishing a series of architecture books and a magazine entitled The Architectural Review. He died forgotten in 1884.

Historically, SA Tourism has always reported on total visitor arrivals (excluding workers and contract workers), because they were not able to remove day visitors from overnight visitors (tourists) from the data released by Stats SA. The release of the January 2009 tourism figures marked the first time that Stats SA has been able to report on actual tourist arrivals, as defined by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), as opposed to total arrivals. The table below shows the new more accurate tourist figures along with the previous figures of all foreign travelers.
All foreign arrivals less workers and contract workers.
A visitor who visits a place for less than 1 night.
* Any visitor travelling to a place other than that of his/her usual environment for more than 1 night but less than 12 months, and whose main purpose of the trip is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited.

Dedication to service has been Tom LaBonge's mantra
Chronicle Staff | June 4, 2015	| 0 Comments
The following is a farewell address the Larchmont Chronicle asked our outgoing councilman to provide.
Tom LaBonge bids goodbye to City Hall after 40 years in public service.
I always knew that my life's work would be in service to the city of Los Angeles, but to have served as Councilmember of the Fourth District for the past 14 years has been more than I could have ever imagined. My role as councilmember for the 4th District is the culmination of a lifetime spent in service to my native city. I have worked in some capacity for the city for almost four decades.
My journey at City Hall started back when I was on Mayor Bradley's Youth Council. I remember how good it felt when I could help someone out. I first took office in 2001, in a special election to replace my dear friend and political mentor the late great John Ferraro. I was honored to be subsequently re-elected to four-year terms in 2003, 2007, and 2011.
Nothing has been more fulfilling than representing the people of Council District Four and being able to enact the changes that have improved the lives of all in this exceptional city. Los Angeles is truly a city with equal opportunity and its diversity can be seen within the Fourth District.
Whether it is the vistas of Griffith Park, Hollywood Bowl, the museums and parks of the Miracle Mile, or the local shopping and dining in Larchmont Village, our district showcases the best of what our city has to offer.
Groundbreaking at upper Larchmont Blvd. median.
During my time as City Councilmember, I've fought hard to keep and enhance the features that make our district unique. I will always count the acquisition of Cahuenga Peak as open space for Griffith Park as one of my greatest achievements in office, and it would not have been possible without the immense support from local communities such as your own.
The approval of new Historic Preservation Overlay Zones will maintain the signature character of many neighborhoods, and investments made in our streets with resurfacings, green medians and other beautification efforts district-wide have made all neighborhoods safer and more inviting to drivers and pedestrians alike.
People make the city
As my time as city councilmember for the Fourth District comes to an end, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your love and support of the city. More than any park, landmark, or business, it is the people of Los Angeles who make our city the best in the world in which to work and live.
For now, this is not a goodbye but a mere "See you around" as Los Angeles is my home, and I will in some capacity continue to work and live in Los Angeles. From the first day I took office to this day forward, I will continue to live daily by my oft-spoken words: "Let's continue to enjoy and love the great city of Los Angeles."
By Tom LaBonge

### Remarks

The Yates County Republican Committee, along with many other Local Citizens and Area Groups, is outraged at Governor Cuomo's unprecedented attack on our Second Amendment Rights. The unfunded mandates and the processes by which the 'SAFE' Legislation was forced upon us Is reprehensible.
Consider this; we in the Finger Lakes Region have taken well over a year now to conduct numerous studies, public hearings and debate over the 'Fracking' Issue in New York. This is a Technology which has the potential to re-vitalize our State's economy and lower Energy Costs. This is a Technology which we continue to study and fail to resolve this vital Issue. Why is there such abundant time for Debate on this critical Issue, yet a full on assault of our Second Amendment rights must be rammed down our throats almost overnight?
This new Law was pushed through the Legislative Process by Gov. Cuomo with no studies, no public hearings, no input from Law Enforcement, no consultation with Elected Officials and no Public Hearings. Yet, it was immediately signed into Law by Gov. Cuomo, who did so ignoring the usual three day requirement for Elected Representatives to be able to review the Legislation and receive feedback from their constituents.
Let there be no mistake about it, this was not only an attack on our Constitutional right to bear arms, it was yet another attack on our basic Freedom and our right of Representation.
This Law has nothing at all to do with the safety and security of children, first responders or average Citizens. It is an attempt by the Governor to further his own Political ambitions.
The incident in Connecticut was about the failure of the Mental Health System. The incident in Webster was about a violent felon being released from prison when he should have served the rest of his life there.
This Law will simply create more victims, and those victims might well be people who were once Law Abiding Citizens.
The right of self defense is an inherent right, bestowed upon us by our Creator. It is not "granted" to us by elitist, Ruling Class Politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Sheldon Silver or, apparently, by some of our own "Republican" Representatives to be denied us when they see fit.
We seek the support of the Yates County Legislature in pursuit of these goals. This is a very serious matter of preserving our Constitutional Rights, our Freedom and our very fabric as a Free Society, ….of preserving our Country.

Bing Crosby Bob Hope Dorothy Lamour Old Time Radio
Happy Birthday Bob Hope: 110 years old today!
No Comments on Happy Birthday Bob Hope: 110 years old today!
Happy Birthday to Bob Hope who would be 110 years old today!
Leslie Townes Hope, more popularly known as Bob Hope, was born on May 29, 1903 in Eltham, London. His parents were William Henry Hope, a stonemason, and Avis Townes, an opera singer. In 1908, when Leslie was four years old, his family moved to the United States, and became residents of Cleveland in Ohio. Up to now, no one knows exactly when he decided to use the name "Bob," although some say that it started when he was teased by his classmates because of his roll-call name Hope, Leslie which they shorten to "hopeless." According to Bob Hope himself, he chose that name because it "sounded brisker."
While in Cleveland, the 12-year old Bob had different jobs including selling shoes, delivering newspapers, and delivering meat. For a short period, he was once a boxer as well, fighting using the name Packy East. When not working, he would enter various talent contests. This eventually landed him as a vaudeville dancer, together with Mildred Rosenquist, who eventually became his girlfriend. They had this career until Mildred's mother learned about it.
Broadway Calls
Bob then moved on to perform for shows in local theaters with his first partner, his friend Lloyd Durbin. Fatty Arbuckle saw one of the duo's performance, and he invited both to work on his show. A year after having Durbin as his partner, Bob had a new one, George Byrne. He began touring with him, and they eventually made it to New York. For a brief period, the two were able to appear on Broadway, before taking the advice of their agent to rethink their act. When hired to perform in Pennsylvania, Bob was asked to make some announcements for the upcoming attractions in a small theater there. He was able to deliver the material in a very entertaining way, causing him to impress the management very well. Following that, he decided finally to go solo.
Bob had his big break when he appeared on the 1933 Broadway musical Roberta, where he played the role of character Huckleberry Haines. It was in that show when he got to know Dolores Reade, a singer working on the 57th street club who became his wife until his death in 2003. After Roberta, he was featured in other Broadway shows like Say When (1934), Red, Hot and Blue (1936), and Ziegfield Follies (1936). Apart from working with Jimmy Durante and Ethel Merman, it was also in Red, Hot and Blue where Bob was spotted by Paramount Pictures, which became the producer of his first feature films.
The Road to Movies
Going Spanish was the title of the 1934 short film where Bob made his first movie appearance. Several comedy and musical shows followed after that, until he was eventually cast as Buzz Fielding in the film The Big Broadcast of 1938, which also debuted his trademark song Thanks for the Memory.
The films that land Bob Hope to Hollywood stardom were the series of comedy films called Road to… where he co-starred with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Included in the film series were:
Road to Singapore
Road to Zanzibar
Road to Morocco
Road to Utopia
Road to Rio
Road to Bali
All six films had similar storyline, with the two guys (Bob and Bing) playing the role of con-artists trying to make as much money as they can, and rivals for the love of Dorothy Lamour's character.
Although he never got even one Oscar award during his career, Bob did receive several honorary awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He had a total of five from 1941 to 1966, among which was the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian he won in 1960. Two songs sang by him won Oscars– Thanks for the Memory and Buttons and Bows, which was heard in the 1948 film The Paleface.
His film career lasted for six decades. In his last film appearance, Bob did a cameo role in the the 1985 film Spies Like Us, which was a homage to his popular film series Road to… Actors Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd took over Hope's and Crosby's roles.
Bob's film career was simultaneous with his career in old time radio. In fact, most of his co-stars appeared as special guests in his radio programs. In return, used these programs to promote his upcoming movie and theatrical shows. In 1937, NBC gave Bob his regular slot in The Woodbury Soap Show. Just a year after that, he was given his own show, which went on-air until 1956.
The television was another medium that showcased Bob's comedy. His first appearance on the television was in the 1930s, at the time during which the technology was still new and experimental. Bob's major TV guesting was in 1950, when he became the host of the Star-Spangled Revue. Although he never really had his own television show, whenever he appeared on a show as guest of host, that show would surely get a high rating.
WWII Broadcasts for the Troops
Bob Hope was highly successful in his film, radio, theater and television careers. Nevertheless, it was through his work with the USO, or United Service Organizations, where he gained much appreciation and respect. In fact, the US troops hailed him as their "Ambassador of Goodwill."
His involvement with the USO starting during World War II, when he entertained the US troops based in California. Throughout the war period, nearly all of his radio programs were heard over military bases in the United States, Europe, and South Pacific.
In 1948, while entertaining troops from what was known as the Berlin Airlift, Bob did a Christmas radio show. This quickly turned into a tradition, for over three decades, where all his succeeding Christmas broadcasts were done in the military bases.
His final tour for the USO took place in 1990, when he went to Saudi Arabia during the Operation Desert Shield. And then, in October of 1997, his work for the troops was recognized when they formally made him an honorary veteran, an award which was specifically created for him through a special resolution by the United States Congress. Bob considered that award greatest honour he had ever received.
Golf Fanatic
"Golf is my profession. I tell jokes to pay my green fees."
Bob's true passion was golf, and he had, in fact, played with six former US Presidents– Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bill Clinton. He also came up with a best-selling book about his golf experiences entitled Confessions of a Hooker.
He also helped establish the pro-am golf tournament known as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, which is held once a year in Palm Springs, California. Since its inception in 1960, the tournament was able to raise more than $35 million for the local charities.
Bob Hope Honors
I'm speechless. Seventy years of ad-lib material and I'm speechless.
– Bob after learning about his KBE
Bob is a record holder in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most honoured entertainer in the world, having received over 2,000 awards for his work. In addition to the awards given to him by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he also had the following:
The Congressional Gold Medal
Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE)
The Medal of the Arts
The Medal of Freedom
Governor's Award in the 1984 Emmys
2 Golden Globes
Several "Career" and "Lifetime" achievement awards, such as those from the American Comedy Awards, Screen Actors' Guild, and the Television Critics Association
Stars in the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for film and another for television.
Apart from those, he had around 60 honorary doctorates from different universities and colleges across the country, and also a "degree in comedy" from LA's University of California. There's even an asteroid named after him!
Bob Hope Legacy
Bob continued to provide entertainment until his 90s, or actually, almost up to his death (at age 100) on July 27, 2003. Before he died, he donated a huge amount of his old works to the Bob Hope Gallery of Entertainment, at the US Library of Congress.
Bob Hope has a universal appeal, not just to those who grew up with him, or knew him through his radio programs, but also to those who are still learning more about his works and to the US military troops who recognized him as their private entertainer. His legacy will surely never be forgotten.

Bing Crosby Old Time Radio Rosemary Clooney
Bing and Rosemary, A Friendship
No Comments on Bing and Rosemary, A Friendship
The Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney Show is a treat for audiences, but was also a good deal of fun for its stars. In 1960 radio made a bid to attract some daytime listeners, and proposed the project to Bing. Rosemary Clooney had found success in the high-pressure world of the early 1950s recording industry, and became a household name with the 1954 release of White Christmas in which she starred with Crosby. By this time Bing was successful enough that he didn't need the work, and would only do the show if it could be prerecorded on magnetic tape (Crosby was an investor in Ampex, the first successful American tape recorder.)
The shows were rather simple; they featured music, was usually from earlier recordings that Clooney and Crosby had made, although they did record some duets for the show. Because the recording equipment was somewhat portable, the spoken parts of the show could be recorded whenever and where ever is was convenient for the stars to get together. Often this would be at Clooney's home, the Hollywood mansion that had formerly belonged to composer George Gershwin. This would have been very convenient for Clooney, mother of seven whose marriage to Jose Ferrer was on the rocks (they would divorce in 1961, reconcile in 1964, and divorce again in 1967.) It also allowed Bing plenty of time for the golf course.
Things didn't remain fine for Rosemary. She had long suffered from bipolar disorder, and fought depression for many years. Soon after her second divorce from Ferrer, she found solace by campaigning for her friend Bobby Kennedy's bid for the Presidency. She was with him when he was assassinated in 1968. This led to a nervous breakdown on stage a month later. She would recover from the breakdown, but her career was in a shambles. She was reduced to singing in Holiday Inn lounges to make ends meet, all the while fighting her addiction prescription medications.
In 1976 Bing was planning a tour to celebrate his 50th year in Show Business. This would be his last tour, and he asked his good friend Rosemary Clooney to join him. It would be the beginning of Clooney's comeback.
After their tour of England, Bing flew to Spain to go hunting and play golf. After 18 holes near Madrid on Oct 14, 1977, Bing collapsed and died of a massive heart attack.
Rosemary always felt that her mission in life was to sing well. She told interviewers that she hoped that she would know when her talent began to fade, so she could leave the stage.
Rosemary's last performance was singing "God Bless America" with the Honolulu Symphony Pops in late 2001. She died of lung cancer at her home in Beverly Hills on June 29, 2002.

It's not secret that Donald Trump has a serious issue with Black people, especially those who speak out against him and his divisive administration. Lately, the main way he lashes out at us is by questioning our intelligence.
Case in point: On Friday night, while he should have been either asleep, creating strategies to protect our democracy from Russia or figuring out ways to reunite immigrant children their families, he was Twitter coming for LeBron James.
See, James was being interviewed by CNN's Don Lemon and spoke in detail about his new Promise school and his disdain for #45.
But don't worry, Black Twitter didn't let this racist tirade go down on their watch. They clapped all the way back.

But don't worry, Black Twitter didn't let this racist tirade go down on their watch. They clapped all the way back.
Trump insults LeBron James and calls CNN's Don Lemon the "dumbest man on television".
Look at all the private individuals he has criticized and you will see a pattern. Its race.
LeBron pulled up his phone and checked his mentions. He saw the Trump tweet and chuckled to himself. "Chump," he murmured, and went back to being a well-liked, elite athlete.
Trump says Maxine Waters, LeBron James, and Don Lemon are all dumb. That's completely erroneous and he knows it--he's just fueling his racist, hate mongering following of uneducated whites.
Trump coming for LeBron when he really shoulda just sat there and ate his food.
The fact that #LebronJames opened a school without naming it after him proves his commitment to unselfishly teaching the next generation that nothing is given. Everything is earned. We need more communal and philanthropic athletes like him.
And couldn't tell you the difference between Great Britain, England, the United Kingdom, or Wales.
What y'all President not gone do is come for #LebronJames. You could be a be on his level sir! Like eva!!
Putin used #PhilandoCastille 's murder to divide voters . #LebronJames uses his wealth to educate children.
@KingJames opened a school for kids.
Trump filled detention centers with kids.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Lebron is smarter than Donald Trump on literally every conceivable legitimate measure of smart.
Donald Trump has the vocabulary of an 8 year old with the nerve to call LeBron dumb. I apologize to all the 8 year old children for this insult.
Trump: Don Lemon made LeBron James look smart which isn't easy to do.
Lebron James build a school for at risk children.
Trump separates children from their families and puts them at risk.

Jessa (Duggar) Seewald is protecting younger sister Joy-Anna (Duggar) Forsyth from mommy-shamers.
The 21-year-old shared an Instagram photo with husband Austin Forsyth over the weekend commemorating their weekend away together, which happened to fall on the same weekend as their 1-year-old son, Gideon's first birthday.
"Getting to spend the weekend with my favorite person! Just the two of us!! (Austin's parents are watching Gideon for us!)," Joy-Anna captioned a selfie of herself and her husband.
But not everyone was happy for the couple.
"But isn't it Gideon's birthday?" one Instagram user wrote.
"Thought it'd be more important to spend your child's birthday with them rather than a treat away like you wanna deny and forget him," another wrote. "This really ain't it chief."
"While I understand the need for couple time after children, I don't understand how you could not be home for your son's birthday. Every birthday is important. You could have chosen any other weekend for a getaway," someone else wrote.
But Jessa came to her sister's defense, leaving a sassy comment clapping back at the haters.
"All these people acting like you wouldn't remember it's the 1 year anniversary of the most physically exhausting and simultaneously most joyous day of your life. Really????" she wrote. "Girl, I know y'all are heading back to celebrate Gideon's bday, but seriously, even if you did stay away one more day it's not like he'd know you were celebrating late."
Jessa continued, "I've always joked that 1st bday parties are more for the parents than the kid. If we're being real, it's like 'Yay! We've kept a human alive for a year, and we still have our sanity!' Baby won't even remember the party, that's why we document through excessive pics and home videos. Y'all are great parents! Hope you had a relaxing time at your getaway. Wish we would've been able to go too!"
Joy-Anna thanked her sister for her comment. "haha!! Thanks, Jess!!!!" she wrote back, adding several heart emojis.
Sister-in-law Anna Duggar also got in on the commenting action, praising Jessa for her words. "nailed it! @austinandjoyforsyth Hope you guys continue to have a wonderful time! Y'all are such a sweet couple."
Joy-Anna clarified to her followers that she and Austin were able to get the best of both worlds: a few days away as well as celebrating their first child's birthday.
"FYI... we've gotten to spend a couple of days away and will be able to celebrate Gideon's 1st birthday with him when we get home this evening!!" she wrote in the comments.
Later, the proud parents shared a photo alongside the 1-year-old and his birthday cake. "Happy 1st Birthday, Gideon Martyn!! We are so thankful for you and your bright smile that is contagious!!! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!" she wrote, adding the hashtags #1stbirthday, #smashcake and #somuchlove.
After announcing that they were expecting in August 2017, Joy-Anna and Austin welcomed baby Gideon last February, which was documented for the Duggar family's TLC series Counting On.

Albany Empire hold off Baltimore Brigade
Victory pulls Albany within a game of Baltimore for league lead
Published 11:46 pm EDT, Saturday, June 23, 2018
The Albany Empire pulled within a game of first place thanks to a 56-49 victory over the host Baltimore Brigade on Saturday in an Arena Football League contest at Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore.
Quarterback Tommy Grady completed 14 of 20 passes for 199 yards and seven touchdowns to lead the Empire, who improved to 6-4 on the season and handed the Brigade their first home loss of the year to drop Baltimore to 7-3 with two games left in the regular season.
Grady found Malachi Jones for a two-yard touchdown strike with only 5 minutes, 44 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give Albany a commanding 56-35 advantage.
But the Empire must have been feeling a little uneasy after Randy Hippeard ran in a Baltimore score from a yard out, to make it 56-42 with 1:39 left, and then recovered the ensuing onside kick. Hippeard hit Milton Williams from 25 yards out to pull the Brigade within a score, 56-49, just 49 seconds later.
Last week, Philadelphia used the help of an onside kick to steal a 75-74 win but Albany's Greg Carr recovered the Baltimore attempt in the closing moments to stop this week's rally and give the Empire the victory.
Albany travels to Washington at 7 p.m. Friday.


Hamilton cited that Ferrari have the edge going into Melbourne after they had a promising pre-season in terms of testing.
Mercedes vs Ferrari: What happened last season?
Williams has endured an extremely tough pre-season after an equally hard 2018 campaign that saw previous drivers Lance Stroll and Sergey Sirotkin score only seven points between them, but the Grove-based outfit are fielding an all-new line-up in Kubica and 2018 FIA Formula 2 champion George Russell.
Ferrari's impressive display in testing makes Valtteri Bottas believe Mercedes will have to fight to stay with their rivals in Australia.
"Over the winter some things have been different, like with my coach again we looked through the travel plan and everything, all the details that we think is going to be best for my performance, like where I am between races, where do I fly, when do I fly".
But Mercedes' Hamilton won his fifth world title with two races still left.
1 - Ferrari driver Vettel is one win away from equalling Schumacher as the driver with the most wins (four) and most back-to-back victories (3 - 2000-02) at the AusGP.
Under different management and after a positive winter testing, Ferrari have arrived in Melbourne with a fast auto and plenty of buzz, raising expectation of a genuine challenge to five years of Mercedes dominance. "Lewis has been in that position the last couple of years and we will try to turn it around", he said.
"But an F1 season is not just about who comes out of the blocks quickest", he added.
"This is going to be the toughest battle yet", said the Briton, although Mercedes, who have won five drivers' and constructors' titles in a row, may not have shown their full hand yet. We got a bit lucky during the race weekend with the safety vehicle to grab the win.
Mercedes have done that in the past, but there is a growing feeling in the paddock that Ferrari could have the edge this season, with a new team principal in place, after Mattia Binotto replaced Maurizio Arrivabene, and a faster auto.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who is known for naming each of his race cars, revealed that his new auto is called "Lina".
Vettel is keen on having some fun.

The ulnar collateral ligament or UCL is an area of tissue on the medial side of your elbow. The UCL is made up of the posterior (back), anterior (front) and transverse ligaments. These ligaments work together to provide stability for the elbow.
The posterior ligament provides additional stability when the elbow is extended, the anterior ligament provides additional support against stress on the elbow when it is flexed or extended and the transverse ligament connects the medial (inside) tip to the ulna rather than providing stability to the arm. If any of these ligaments are damaged it can result in instability or stress on the elbow which can impact your ability to move it properly.
injuries due to the intense stress and repetitive motion involved in these activities.
Similarly, playing sports such as football, water polo or ice hockey may damage the UCL because the elbow is frequently cocked during play. If the body enters a collision while the elbow is in this position or when it is extremely rotates it will place additional strain on the UCL, increasing your risk of injury.
Any injury that forcefully whips the humerus in the shoulder can cause damage to the forearm as well by placing strain on the UCL. Overusing the arm, poor throwing mechanics, throwing items at high velocities or throwing styles such as a curveball can increase this risk. In most cases, this type of stress causes small tears that slowly add up over time.
In many cases repetitive stress on the ulna leads to chronic deterioration of the ligament. This will appear slowly, with pain developing over the course of the injury. Additional tears may also appear in the ligament which can result a loss of structural integrity over time.
In less common cases patients may experience an acute rupture of a ligament in the elbow. This may be caused by a sudden injury such as a collision while the arm is flexed.
When the arm is in flexion the ulnar collateral ligament is not extended in a way that will allow it to provide additional support for the elbow. This increases your chance of a dislocated elbow or damage to the radioulnar joints if a collision occurs when the arm is in this position.
elbow. This may appear more strongly as you increase the acceleration of your movements. You may also find that clenching or closing your hand increases your symptoms.
As you attempt to move the arm through a slowing motion you may notice a popping sound in the elbow along with intensified pain. In some cases bruising may appear along the inside of the elbow coupled with a loss of motion for this area.

Home Packers Why the Packers Should Consider Gerald McCoy
Why the Packers Should Consider Gerald McCoy
Jimmy Christensen
The Green Bay Packers defensive line in 2018 was one of the worst in the NFL. The lack of quarterback pressure by the defensive line allowed opposing teams to take advantage of the Packers' young secondary. The Packers front office made this their top priority this offseason by signing two young, talented defensive ends in Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith who came on board to replace long time Packers Clay Matthews and Nick Perry. The Packers also drafted two defensive linemen Rashan Gary (Edge Rusher) and Kingsley Keke (Defensive Tackle). The Packers seem to be set for this upcoming season, but after Gerald McCoy was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Packers have a great opportunity to let the rich get richer by adding McCoy to their already strong defensive line.
The Packers have spent big this offseason signing the Za'Darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Adrian Amos. Also, releasing Nick Perry has stuck the Packers with $11 million in dead money for this coming season. Putting all of these things together, the Packers are left with $8.9 million dollars left for this coming season. They are yet to sign their 3rd round pick Jace Sternberger, and they want to leave cap room available for roster cuts later this offseason. Using that $8.9 million to sign Gerald McCoy is not the best choice for the Packers, so they would need to be roster adjustments to make this work.
One player who has been rumored to be on the chopping block this offseason is Mike Daniels. He has been a productive player for the Packers in the past, but this past season he was injured and had one of the worst years of his career. Mike Daniels has had productive years for the Packers especially in 2015, but with the new signees leave Mike Daniels as the odd man out. Releasing Mike Daniels would be a hit to the defense, but if you use the money you save on an impact defender it may be worth it. Mike Daniels is due $10 million this coming season, but if he is released it would only cost the Packers $2 million in dead money. That saves the Packers $8 million dollars to use for the rest of the offseason. Losing Mike Daniels is without a doubt a hit for the Packers' defense. He is one of vocal leaders for the team, and a rare veteran presence on this young defensive core. Even though it would be a lost for the Packers, does the impact that Gerald McCoy could make outweigh the loss? Here are what the stats tell us:
Gerald McCoy came into the league in 2010 going head to head with Suh as the top defensive player in the draft. Suh won that battle and went number two overall, and McCoy went 3rd overall to the Buccaneers. McCoy struggled his rookie year and only played three games his second year in the league, but since his third year in the NFL McCoy has been one of the top defensive linemen in the league. Since 2012 McCoy has earned at least 5.0 sacks in each season and even recorded 8.5 or higher in 2013-2015. When you compare that to Mike Daniels, the most sacks he recorded came in 2013 when he got to the quarterback for 6.5 sacks. Mike Daniels role in 2013 was not as a starter, but rather as a situational rusher. With the additional defensive pieces the Packers have acquired, Daniels is most likely going to be used more situationally than he has in years past. Looking at stats alone, Gerald McCoy has shown to get to the quarterback and act as a force that the offense needs to account for.
Another reason the Packers could prefer McCoy over Daniels, is the new type of defensive player that General Manager Gutekunst prefers. GM Gutekunst has signed and drafted long, athletic defensive linemen Za'Darius Smith who is 6'4" and 272 pounds, Preston Smith who is 6'5" and 265 pounds, and newest draft pick Rashan Gary who measures 6'5" and weighs 277 pounds. Mike Daniels is the opposite of tall and long. He weighs 300 pounds and only measures 6' tall. Mike Daniels still is an explosive defensive linemen, but does not fit the mold that Gutekunst has preferred since taking over as General Manager. Gerald McCoy, on the other hand, seems to fit what they are looking for on the defensive line. McCoy is 6'4" and weighs 300 pounds. He has the long frame that the defense is looking for. Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine had great success with defensive linemen with body types like Gerald McCoy. When Pettine was DC of the New York Jets, Muhammad Wilkerson who measures 6'5" and 315 pounds, had the best seasons of his career. Combine Gerald McCoy's physical stature, the success he has had throughout his career, and Pettine's defensive schemes, he seems to be a perfect fit.
A few other options the Packers have to save money would be to release Josh Jones who wants out of Green Bay. That move would save them around $500,000. They would also save the same amount by releasing Tim Boyle's from the team. He is one of four quarterbacks on the Packers' roster, and could be an easy release for the team. Another under the radar release could be veteran cornerback Tramon Williams. Releasing Tramon would save the Packers close to $4 million, but would take away their most experience veteran in an otherwise young secondary.
The ideal signing for McCoy would follow the Suh signing. A one year prove it deal around $7 million. Signing McCoy to the Packers is a low risk, high reward situation that could turn the Packers' defensive line into the dominating line in the NFL.

Time limit to file a cancellation action against a registered trademark is 5 years as from the registration of a trademark (except for non-use issues). However, if the cancellation action against a trademark registered in bad faith is related to a well-known trademark, the time limit is not applied, genuine holder of the well-known trademark can file cancellation action anytime.
A registered trademark should be used in Turkey within 5 years from the registration date to avoid any trademark cancellation action based on "non-use" that may be initiated by other parties before the Court (not before the Office). The same is also valid where the use of the trademark is discontinued for an interrupted period of five years thereafter. The burden of the proof belongs to the applicant. Therefore, there is no need for extensive work on evidences but it is recommended to provide Court outcome of a trademark in use search in Turkey (indicating non-use of the trademark in question in target classes).
With regard to bad faith attack, it should be well supported with strong evidences indicating earlier business relation between the actual right holder and the other party (or well-known status of the trademark in Turkey).
The said evidences could be in form of a distributor agreement, contractual agreement, invoices regarding sales, export records, "all" correspondences that prove the business contracts and mutual business activity between the parties, incoming (purchase order) letters to the client; for all those with original signatures being preferred and e-mails are not much respected before the court.
As for the WELL-KNOWN status, the provisions of article 6bis of the Paris Convention would apply to an administrative proceeding in the Turkish Patent Institute. Therefore, so called "fame documents" are required in that sense.

"All eyes on water" (June 21) by Kathy Johnston was rather shocking in the fact that farmers are blamed for the Central Coast drinking water pollution. Even with regulations, monitoring tier upon tier of all approved and regulated pesticides, herbicides, and nutrients, even with rules in place from numerous regulatory agencies—Regional Water Quality Control Board, State Water Resources Control Board, not to mention the FDA and EPA—pollution still happens. And this article seems to be focused on one nutrient in particular that is somehow exceeding levels and of great concern.
I can hardly imagine what the reaction would be from the farming community subjected to this kind of scrutiny, oversight, monitoring, and reporting when they learn that someone would be allowed to operate in this area exempted from every one of those rules and regulations. And not just exempted from one particular application but from 750 toxic, known cancer-causing, fish-killing, flammable ingredients that would be directly injected into the watershed and groundwater without having to pass one inspection. And enjoy immunity and non disclosure of certain chemical concoctions because of patent protections. How do you monitor an unknown?
Interesting, too, that under an exemption, the Regional Water Quality Board, the State Water Resources Control Board, the Board of Supervisors, and city councils can do nothing to stop the pollution and contamination from occurring. Their hands are tied.
The farmers watching all their efforts to be in compliance, and the water board concentrating on making sure they are in compliance, powerless to implement safeguards, just seems a monumental waste of time, effort, and resources. One day in operation by a company that is exempt from these rules could easily wipe out a lifetime of efforts by farmers, water quality boards, a community—and impact the area in a way we would not see a recovery or restoration in our lifetime.
The process is hydraulic fracturing, the exemption is called the Halliburton Loophole, and it is all about the water, folks.

California Relays Preview
California Relays
Foot Locker Finalist Kimberly Coscia may run roughshod over the Friday night 3200 field, but the favorites in most of the relays are far less clear.
California Relays Meet Page
(Entry Lists, Prior Years' Results)
Friday Individual Events
Jada Hicks (Upland) might be a 9th-grader, but you won't catch her in the Frosh/Soph races this weekend. She has the fastest 100 Hurdles mark at 14.37 (she would also have the top 100 Dash time, but opted not to run that event). Juanita Webster (Redlands) should Hicks' best competition in the hurdles. Joseph Anderson (Upland) is the meet's best hurdler, having already run 14.46 this season. Los Osos hurdler Tomi Adegoke, if he runs well, will be close enough to threaten Anderson.
Lonsha Bradford (Elsinore) comes into the meet with the fastest 100 Dash time, although Azaria Hill (Golden Valley) should be right there with her when the final rolls around. With the Davis brothers opting out of the 100, Antonio Woodard (Upland) could be dominant - it would have been great to see those three square off individually!
Kimberly Coscia (South Torrance) is the top seed in the large-school 3200, and she could pull away from the rest of the field. Erin Holton (Rancho Cucamonga) ran 11:10 last year, although she hasn't put up a time so far this spring, and Avery Ward (Mira Costa) has run 11:32 this season. Maggie Baker (Bakersfield), who has run 11:36 and 5:15 in 2015, should also be a factor. Bennett Gagnon (Palos Verdes) will be running his first challenging 3200 of the season in the small-school race, though he has run 4:26 for the 1600. The same is true of Garrett Boulais (Burroughs) in the large-school 3200, where he will have to contend with Nick Lofgren (South Torrance) and Charlie Sherman (Loyola).
Friday Relay Events
Friday features a number of unconventional relays, at least for California: the 4x200, the Distance Medley, and the Sprint Medley. These are always hard to predict, but usually really fun to watch; you never know which team is loading up with their best, and which is just giving some of their less-experienced athletes a chance to run (and you can't always trust the entries, as coaches often change tatics after the entry process closes). In the DMR, the 1200 and 1600 legs are crucial, so when someone like Loyola's Robert Brandt is on the anchor, it gives his team a decided advantage. Likewise for the 800 leg on the 1600 SMR, or the 400 leg on the 800 SMR.
Saturday Individual Events
It's a full day of field events on Saturday at Cerritos College, so make sure you get out there to witness the talent. Bryce Huggins (Bakersfield) is ranked 2nd in the state and 6th in the country in the long jump so far this spring. There are some 23-foot-quality jumpers in the field (like Lawrence White and Tomi Adegoke), but if Huggins goes over 24 again he will almost certainly win. Melanee Williams (Millikan) comes in with a 1-foot advantage over the next-best girl in the long jump, so the event is hers to win. Tia Cooke (Silverado) is the closest, but she may have to break 18 feet for the first time to get to Williams. Jacob Funes (Peninsula) is 3rd in the state right now in the triple jump, although Jonnie Young (Rancho Verde) and Adegoke should be within striking distance. A pair of 37-footers will square off in the girls' triple in seniors Christina Chenault (Carondelet) and Tia Cooke (Silverado), although Carson teammates Jelani Minix and Crystal Washington could be right in the mix as well.
Michael Pertusati (Los Osos) has thrown over 181 feet so far this season, putting him in the driver's seat for the discus win. It won't be a walkover, though, if teammate Tyler Merkley has anything to say about it - he has thrown 174'. If either of them falls off, or if Jordan Davis (Elsinore) has a good day, we could see some serious back-and-forth competition through the finals. The tables could be reversed in the shot put, though, where Merkley is the top seed over Pertusati. A third Los Osos thrower, Peter Caklovic, will try to make it a sweep for the Bears. On the girls' side it looks even more competitive, with Audrey Pillsbury (Peninsula) and Ashley Anumba (Los Osos) leading several throwers in the 110 - 120 foot range. Alladia Patterson (Louisville) is in the small-school throws, where her marks of 120' 2" and 39' 1" should dominate; it's too bad she won't get to go head-to-head with Nikaela Harris (Golden Valley), the only 40-footer in the field (at least, considering this year's marks only). Breanne Monroy (Millikan) also has a chance to break 40 feet this weekend.
The best duel of the day could be in the girls' high jump, where Alisha Edwards (Redlands) and Skyler Daniel (Upland) have both been over 5' 6" this season. With a good effort by Peninsula's Tammy McVickar, there could be a three-way contest for the win. Amanda Block (Beverly Hills) has the top mark in the pole vault at 11 feet, a 1-foot advantage in either the small-school division, where she is competing, or the large-school division, which appears to be completely wide open. Robert Ramirez (Alemany) has a season best of 6' 6" in the high jump, where he will have the chance to put up the best mark of the day overall. Freshaman Sean Lee (Trabuco Hills) will have something to say about that, as he has a season best of 6' 7". Luciano Lopez (Loyola) is the only male vaulter in the field that has been over 14 feet this spring, and he has actually cracked the 15-foot barrier; if he's on, he'll be hard to beat.
Alayha Byers (Alemany) has the best 200 time among the small-school entrants, and she will be trying to keep up with Bradford and Chenault from the large-schools division. Tunika Onnekikami should be the pacesetter overall, even though she is making her 200 debut - her 56.39 in the 400 already this season shows that she is in good shape. Having already posted the top 2 100 times in the state (albeit wind-aided), Dominic and Diab Davis will tackle the 200 Saturday. They will be in the small-schools race, so they won't get to face Woodard directly, but the competition for the top time should be fierce. Shante Robinson (Mira Costa) should run away with the girls 300 Hurdles title, as her 43.61 (CA #3 US #15) is 3 seconds faster than the nearest competitor. Behind her, there should be a great race between LaNaya Lyles (Silverado) and Jaylah Walker (LaSierra), and there are a few more athletes capable of getting into the top 3. Jonathan Harvey (DeLaSalle) and Manuel Gomez (Los Alamitos) have both been under 40 in the 300 Hurdles this spring, and that should set up a great showdown; Justin Alexander (Crenshaw) broke 40 last year, and if he is in shape he will be right in the thick of the final section.
After running very well in her debut cross country season for Los Alamitos, Katherine Izzo now turns her eye toward posting some track times. Who's to say she can't win the Invitational 1600, seeing as how she broke 18 minutes at Woodbridge in only her second race ever? Well, Coscia might have something to say about that; after all, the South Torrance star has a PR of 4:55. On the boys' side, with Brandt opting to focus on the relays, Lofgren will try to make it a South Torrance sweep. Crowley should be considered the favorite in the 800, with Amelia Pear (Valencia) and Jessica Gregson-Williams (Mira Costa) battling behind her (and Bianca Tinoco is an interesting entry there, having only run one non-cross country race, which was a :59 400). Javin Singer (Pacific) should pull away from the small school 800 competitors, and it will be interesting to see how his time compares to that of Xolan Brown (Redlands), who leads all entries with a 1:56 this season. Jahleel Norwood (Lakewood) ran 1:55 last year, so we'll find out what kind of shape he's in, and the same is true of Wilson's Copeland Laris.
In the 400 Dash, Chanel Rodgers (Alemany) will try to post a fast enough time in the small-school final to match Onnekikami and Willingham in the large-school race. Watch out for Mikaela Adolphus (Upland), whose lone meet this spring saw her in the 200 - she ran 56.01 last year. Isaiah Jewett (Cathedral) and Jamani Long (Gahr) will push each other in the small-school boys' 400, hoping to out-pace Anthony Reyes (Elsinore) and Justin Alexander (Crenshaw) from the large-school final section. On the other hand, if the Mar'Yea Harris that is entered for Wilson is the same Mar'Yea Harris that ran 47.1 for Poly last year, then the race might be over before it begins.
Saturday Relay Events
The cool of the morning is occupied with Frosh/Soph Distance Medleys and 4x1600 Relays, both of which are tough to predict. Mira Costa appears to have the deepest squad on the girls' side, while it's hard to bet against Loyola in the boys' race (especially with Palos Verdes not entered). When the 4x800 rolls around, the day will have heated up, and so will the competition: Redlands, with Claire Crowley powering their team, will take on Mira Costa, the owners of a 9:45 season best. It's the boys' 4x800 that is shaping up to be really special, though, with Wilson (8:01 coming in) taking on Loyola (8:06) and Paramount (8:11).
The girls' large-school 4x100 appears to be a wide-open affair, with Gahr and Crenshaw having the leading times so far this season at just under 50 seconds. Loyola's boys are the only squad in the large-schools division to have broken 43 this spring, with Wilson and Carson trailing in the low-43's coming into the meet. Then, after a long two days of individual and relay excitement, the meet closes with the 4x400 - and there could be several girls' teams that break 4 for the first time this season, if they can save enough energy. Upland has already run 4:00, with Carondelet at 4:03 and several teams in the 4:05 - 4:06 range (and that doesn't include Wilson, a team that ran 3:54 last spring). On the boys' side of the 4x400, the favorites are divided between the small-school race (Gahr, Cathedral), and the large-school race (Wilson, Upland, among others). It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to imagine one of these battles pushing the teams involved toward the 3:20 mark.

Stylized Ancient Egyptian drawings instead of sophisticated CGs?
Yes, the constraint on the number of CGs was one of the motivators for this. Don't you think that mixing drawings with CGs would change the atmosphere too much while in game? I'm thinking of having CGs exclusive to all the multiple endings instead.
I have a crazy idea. I am working on a historically accurate (as much as it can be) visual novel set in Ancient Egypt right now, and before today, I thought I would make it look just like a regular visual novel with realistic CG, but I'm having second thoughts know, and here's my new idea: What if instead of backgrounds and character sprites looking at the screen I would make the whole game play like an animation movie made up of individual Ancient Egyptians drawings? Like in the Ice Age cartoon. The idea would be to blend modern graphics with Ancient Egyptian drawing style, and this could also be used to denote different scenes (e.g. sunflare would give the impression that the characters are outside), so that would eliminate the need of backgrounds. The drawings would only change when you click to continue the story. I made a mockup with pictures from Google: https://imgur.com/tWVUr01 And another drawing style: https://imgur.com/a/zwAU01K The way I imagine it the characters would move their heads and hands, have emotions, take different poses and interact with each other (e.g. a character could be killed by another with a spear, etc.) However, the question is whether it would be interesting to follow and wouldn't it be like too much movement for such a game (some people don't like things moving when they're reading, and these sprites would change with nearly every reply). Another thing I'm really concerned about is that it would look cheap. My current artist can draw the most beautiful environments that can captivate people, and reducing her to Ancient Egyptian drawings seems counter-productive. I mean, if you were to look at screenshots on steam, would you really consider buying such a game, even if the interface looked pretty, and the characters weren't too shabby? Thanks.

Cities in MMOs
One thing that's been bothering me about Rift since its release is the lack of "proper" towns and cities. The "main city" of the Guardian faction, Sanctum, is a building with some space all around it. The Defiant faction doesn't have anything bigger either. It is understandable given the lore and all.
But then there is Tempest Bay, a huge city and stronghold. While you can get around, see lots of interesting corners, and there is even a harbor, none of that makes me feel like it's a place where people actually live. A very big problem here is that you can't enter any buildings, there is no place like an inn for travellers with bedrooms (as far as I know and have seen) and there are no children or civilians other than vendors.
The same goes for other villages or towns. Some you can enter, but I don't recall any towns or villages where you can enter "private" buildings and see how the people live there. Thankfully, the game has a great housing system where you can see exactly that! And the buildings are pretty nice to look at from the outside, too. It's just when wandering through the world that it sometimes feels a bit without life that way.
And then there is World of Warcraft with cities like Stormwind, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Ironforge etc. I used to love to just wander around these places and wonder where my character would live if they could get a house there.
Let's not forget Guild Wars 2. While this game does have loading screens between all the different zones which makes it feel less like a "world" I'm in (both World of Warcraft and Rift have loading screens between different continents in the game world, but not between zones within one continent), the cities are gorgeous! Huge, with lots of space and lots of corners that are technically not needed, but they add to the feeling of a living breathing world. It's the same with World of Warcraft. You can wander around and find little scenes with inhabitants of the city living their daily lives.
In general, the cities – or "main hubs", rather – feel less cozy in Rift than they do in World of Warcraft and in Guild Wars 2. It may sound silly, but that's just as important for me as the free roaming between zones. So, taken these things together, World of Warcraft still feels the most like a virtual world that I'm in with Rift and Guild Wars 2 both lacking in one of these aspects. But at least, Guild Wars 2's cities are huge and gorgeous!

That is one of my nitpicks with MMOs too: cities feel more like just a hub for NPCs vendors and what-not than some place where actual people would live. The addition of regular NPCs just doing their daily schedules help to mitigate this to some degree but it isn't enough to make it feel like an actual city.
To me the biggest problem tends to be the layout of the "cities": giant streets, architecture and other things that feel like it was made for gigantic people and their pets. I take it there are some reasons for it, design-wise but still….
So far the best one who did cities is still Lord of the Rings Online. The halfling and human towns feel a lot more like how a city would have been built, naturally, over the years as generations of people settled in there. I wish other games would follow their example more.
Guild Wars 2 has cities where everything is huge – though in most cases, it makes sense lore-wise. My favourite MMO city is still Black Citadel (the charr's city in Guild Wars 2). It doesn't so much feel like a city, but more like giant headquarters. Still, it makes sense and it's beautiful to look at.
But when it comes to cities where you believe that people have their home there – then there aren't many cities left. I completely forgot about LotrO. The towns there are great! And yeah, I agree with you, they look natural and believable.
