Actuation Point - The point along the key travel as a key is depressed where the keystroke is generated.
Anthropometrics - The study of the physical characteristics of an individual, specifically the height, weight, length and proportion of each of their body parts, to understand and take into account physical variation when evaluating and designing products.
Chiclet Style Keycaps - This type of keycap features keycaps which protrude from the housing of the keyboard (i.e. are physically higher than the surrounding housing of the keyboard). When the keycap is depressed it typically is flush or just below the level of the housing, and it is typically used on low travel keyswitch mechanisms with 2-3 mm key travel distance. The keycaps are the same size or slightly smaller than standard keycaps found on rubber dome membrane or mechanical keyswitches. They are also known as "Island Keycaps".
Dorsiflexion - The bending of the foot upwards at the ankle, bring the toes toward the leg, typically reducing the angle formed by the foot and leg to less than 90 degrees.
Embedded Numeric Keypad - A numeric keypad which solely resides on the second layer of a keyboard and is accessed through a shift access or toggle access. Instead of having dedicated physical keys and space allocated to it typically to the right of the enter key, the 10-key functions are enabled once access is granted. The primary benefits of this are a smaller footprint for the keyboard. Note: This does not refer to the number row on a keyboard.
Ergonomics Professional - An individual trained in one of several academic and/or practical studies of ergonomics. Some of the most common ergonomics professionals include Ergonomists, Kinesiologists (Kins), Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Human Factor Engineers.
Elbow Abduction - To move the elbow away from the midline of the body, typically by use of muscles in the shoulder.
Flush Style Keycaps - This type of keycap features keycaps which are flush to the housing of the keyboard (i.e. are physically the same height as the surrounding housing of the keyboard). When the keycap is depressed it typically is below the level of the housing, and it is typically used on low travel keyswitch mechanisms with 2-3 mm key travel distance. The keycaps are usually significantly larger than standard keycaps found on rubber dome membrane or mechanical keyswitches, and have little to no space between the keycaps.
Function Row - The row of function keys at the top of a keyboard, above the Number row, i.e. F1, F2, F3 etc.
Gas Spring - A spring which employs compressed gas, contained in a cylinder and compressed by a piston, to pneumatically exert a force. Common applications include height adjustment in seating products, premium monitor arms, and foot rests.
Hunt-and-Peck Typist - An individual who must identify the location of each key on the keyboard by sight before targeting with their finger. Typically these users will use only their 2nd finger when typing, and must routinely check the results of their typing on the screen to ensure no errors have been generated.
Inline - Directly in front of the individual. When referring to placement of reference material, this would refer to putting documents above the keyboard and below the monitor, eliminating the need to reach to either side.
Island Style Keycaps - This type of keycap features keycaps which protrude from the housing of the keyboard (i.e. are physically higher than the surrounding housing of the keyboard). When the keycap is depressed it typically is flush or just below the level of the housing, and it is typically used on low travel keyswitch mechanisms with 2-3 mm key travel distance. The keycaps are the same size or slightly smaller than standard keycaps found on rubber dome membrane or mechanical keyswitches. They are also known as "Chiclet Style Keycaps".
Key Caps - The plastic striking surface which is on top of the keyswitch mechanism; typically this is all a user sees when typing on a keyboard. Most conventional keycaps have a Key Pitch of 19.4 mm and a sculpted concave design i.e. they have a slight depression on them to provide an indication to a fingertip (which itself is curved) when typing of the center of the keycap, which makes it more comfortable to type. They also have a significant gap between keycaps (usually 1/4 to 1/3 the width of the keycap). Most keycaps used on laptop keyboards and scissor-switch membrane keyswitches use Flush Style or Chiclet Style Keycaps which have a completely flat top with no sculpting.
Key Pitch - The space from the left edge of one keyboard keycap to the next. 19.4 mm is the standard key pitch found on most keyboards today with the exception of children's keyboards, mini-keyboards and some keyboards embedded in portable devices (laptops and netbooks).
Load Balancing - Balancing the workload for a task between all available methods, for example using both hands to perform a task instead of just the dominant hand. When mousing, this would refer to using both hands to mouse. When keyboarding, it can refer to using the number row at the top of the keyboard (to allow two-handed numeric input) instead of a numeric keypad (which is typically only the right hand).
Low Force Keyswitches - Keyswitches which have a lower force associated with generating characters, which includes both the force when the character is generated (actuation force) and the peak force prior to the point at which the character is generated.
Midline - The median plane of the body, i.e. a line running through the nose from the top to the bottom of the body, which delineates the right and left half of the body.
Mousing Area - The physical area or footprint on the work surface required by a user to control the mouse when the acceleration is set at an appropriate level for the tasks the user is trying to perform. For most contemporary computer users who have monitors with a display resolution set at a minimum of 1024x768, the absolute minimum mousing area is 6" wide x 8" deep.
Number Row - The line of numbers at top of a keyboard, above the QWERTY row and below the Function Row. These are not the numbers in the numeric keypad (which are typically arranged in a grid similar to a calculator).
Peak Force - The point along the key travel as the key is depressed where the maximum amount of force is required to continue movement along the key travel, prior to generating the keystroke.
Positively Inclined - This refers to when the plane of an object (e.g. a keyboard or keyboard tray) angles upwards as it moves away from the user. For example a positively inclined keyboard has Function keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) at a higher elevation than the space bar, which results in the fingertips being higher than the palms when placed on the keyboard.
Shift Access - Refers to a keyboard action which requires the user to hold down a modifier key and then press another key in order to generate the desired keystroke.
Static Load - Muscles used in order to maintain a position or posture which is not moving. E.g. Reaching outside the Comfort Zone for a mouse would put a static load the muscles in the back and shoulders, as the position of the arm would have to be held away from the body in order to reach the mouse.
Supination - Rotating the hand past the vertical "handshake" position towards a palms upward (or cupped) position.
Tactile Keyswitches - Keyswitches designed to require significantly higher force (Peak Force) during key travel as the key is pressed down before the character is generated (Actuation Point). This higher force provides a clear feeling of when the keyswitch is about to activate, providing a haptic or tactile indicator to indicate that the key no longer needs to be pressed down further.
Toggle Access - Refers to a keyboard action which requires the user to press and release a modifier key and then press another key in order to generate the desired keystroke. In order to return the keyboard to the default configuration the modifier key needs to be pressed and released a second time.
Touch Typist - An individual who has developed muscle memory and has memorized the location of all the keys on the keyboard. This enables this user to 'type by touch' and in theory, these users can often type in a completely dark room or on a keyboard where all the legends have worn off the keys.

Q: How to write JSON Reads for models without a matching constructor signature? I have the following JSON object:
{"values": "123,456,789"}

I'd like to convert this JSON object to an instance of class Foo with the following signature, using the JSON library of the play framework:
case class Foo(value1: Double, value2: Double, value3: Double)

In the documentation about JSON combinators, there are just examples for conversions where the constructor signature of the class matches the extracted JSON values. If I had such a case, I'd have to write the following Reads function:
import play.api.libs.json._
import play.api.libs.functional.syntax._

implicit val fooReads: Reads[Foo] = (
  (JsPath \ "values").read[String]
)(Foo.apply _)

However, first I have to split the string "123,456,789"to three separate strings, and convert each of them to Double values before I can create an instance of class Foo. How can I do this with JSON combinators? I was not able to find examples for that. Trying to pass in a function literal as an argument does not work:
// this does not work
implicit val fooReads: Reads[Foo] = (
  (JsPath \ "values").read[String]
)((values: String) => {
  val Array(value1, value2, value3) = values.split(",").map(_.toDouble)
  Foo(value1, value2, value3)
})

A: The compiler is getting confused and thinks you are passing your function as the (usually implicit) parameter to the read method. You can get around this by explicitly using Reads.map instead of ApplicationOps.apply:
implicit val fooReads: Reads[Foo] = {
  (JsPath \ "values").read[String] map { values =>
    val Array(value1, value2, value3) = values.split(",").map(_.toDouble)
    Foo(value1, value2, value3)
  }
}

A: Alternatively, you can overload the companion object's apply method which does not require any changes to your implicit read code. Instead, the logic to turn the string into a set of values would be contained in apply.
import play.api.libs.json._
import play.api.libs.functional.syntax._

case class Foo(value1: Double, value2: Double, value3: Double)

object Foo {
    def apply(values: String) = {
        values =>
            val Array(value1, value2, value3) = values.split(",").map(_.toDouble)
            Foo(value1, value2, value3)
    }

    implicit val fooReads: Reads[Foo] = (
      (JsPath \ "values").read[String]
    )(Foo.apply _)
}

Welcome back, one and all, to the last installment of The Proving Grounds.
Yes, the last. I've been saying it for a few weeks now, and the day has finally arrived. This is the last one.
All things must come to an end, and this column's time has come around...again.
The bulk of you don't know that this is the second time I've done this column. It used to be over at Project Fanboy (which turned into the now-defunct Fanboy Buzz), and ran for about a year. I stepped away from it because I picked up a client who was supposed to have a massive job for me, but that fizzled.
Then Tyler James and I started ComixTribe, and the goal was to give creators something they couldn't get anywhere else: good, free information and help situated under one roof. I've written various columns over the years, but the two that creators have found most helpful have been Bolts & Nuts and The Proving Grounds.
Six years. Hell, I'll call it six and a half. I've had to do some recruiting for scripts every so often, but six and a half years of doing this weekly takes its toll. To be honest, I'm shocked it lasted this long. I'm not easy, and yes, some of it is showmanship, but some of it is also an outlet for the truly crappy scripts that have come through.
Yes, a lot of it is usery. Most of the writers who come through here wanted to take advantage of the free editing. The overwhelming bulk of writers, actually. I don't mind overmuch. I've been able to help those who wanted to be helped, and that's what this entire adventure was all about.
Wow that is a long list of names! Thank you Steven for keeping this going for the last 6 and a half years! I only discovered TPG relatively recently but I feel that it has put me on the road to Comic Scripting Enlightenment! I for one will be continuing to browse the TPG archives and Nuts and Bolts.
Steven, I hope this frees you up for whatever you wish to pursue next and I wish you the best of luck mate .
Frank, congratulations for making it through as the last submitter! I enjoyed your script and found it to be thought-provoking. It made me think about greed, gratitude and keeping promises.
As Steven pointed out though, I did feel that there were a few contextual questions that you could have answered to give your story more punch. What was the importance of her One Rule "Never speak a word of where I came from"? Maybe the man's behaviour could have continued to worsen with the woman enduring everything until her One Rule was broken?
Anyway keep going and good luck with your projects Frank .
Thank you Steven. I've learned more from from ComixTribe than any other comic resource. Good things seem to be happening in my comic career and I'm grateful to you (and also especially Yannick) for helping me.
Thanks for all the help you've given me and everyone else who submitted, Steve. That column will be missed.
Can it be that time is here already? Here is this week's panel, one last time.
The trickiest thing with this panel description is that it calls for a close up, but what is being described sounds more like a medium shot...with the face, cloak, and bubbles. I opted to go with a best of both worlds approach, using a medium shot to be sure to include all the detail asked for, but kept it as a tight shot to make it feel like a close up of the character.
Reading the description, the visual I got was the rising vertically one. Even after reading the edits with the different suggestions for approaching it, I decided to keep it the way I initially pictured it. Looking at the script, I felt that this was the best option for the story. If the woman was submerged, she would have to slightly distorted to show she is under the water. By having her already out of the water we get a clear visual of the character and no risk of reader confusion. Is it likely that that would happen? I dunno. But I do know that clear story telling is always a better option, so that route I shall take!
Also, I like how having her out of the water helps the story come full circle to how it ends, with the people entering the water.
That's all I have for this week. A short and simple one to end on. Fun stuff, Frank, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work and picking up Modern Testament #2 soon! No sleep for you. Back to work making more stories!
I have to give a big thanks to Steven for all that he has done here. I've learned so much over the last four years since I found the TPG column, and have been reading it weekly since. ComixTribe's columns have educated me in more ways than I can count, and have helped me grow as a creator.
Just as big of a thank you to all the other editors that have been a part of TPG. It's been great having Steve back over the last couple weeks. Who can forget Yannick's 8000 word essays that accompanied each weeks script? I got to meet Sam at NYCC two years ago, and her words were very inspiring. And Liam, whom I have had the absolute pleasure of bringing one his scripts to life over the last two years (which was a TPG submission!). You're time each week has been informative.
And, of course, a big thanks to all the regulars out there. I've always learned just as much from the forums as I have from the columns. Having different perspectives on stories really opens one's eyes to how they can be interpreted and improved. I'll miss that, for sure.
Those captions, man. They're not necessarily bad, but the fact that they're there means that everything that happens in the first three pages has already happened. Being told/shown what has already happened isn't very interesting. Put the reader in the moment.
Based on the link you provided, your story seems to be missing two important things: the fact that the man lost everything and the fact that the Lady of the Lake seemed to do everything. I get the analogy of people as cattle, but, as Steven mentioned, he still has all the money he already earned. As for the other part, it seems like one of the main points is that the man didn't earn his wealth by himself, while in your version he did (or at least seemed to), which completely changes the meaning of the story.
"You know, it's very easy to criticize."
I had a big, long speech prepared, but I can't remember it, so I'll just hit the main points.
Thanks for not letting me ruin my stories.
Thanks for creating a community to discuss the ins and outs of comics.
Most of all, thanks for caring.
Everyone else, thanks for being you. You managed to take something great and make it even better.
Thanks for The Proving Grounds! It's taught me a lot, both in my own submissions and in reading all the others. Hopefully some of it has actually stuck in my brain and I'll write better from here on out.
Check out Gamer Girl & Vixen on Kickstarter!
Alas, the end of an era. And what an era it was - 281 installments is a great effort of time, commitment and effort.
So thank you, Mr Forbes. Best wishes and best of luck for your future endeavours.

In "Bond of Silence," premiering on Lifetime and based on real events, Grunberg plays Paul Jackson, a detective investigating the death of Bob McIntosh (David Cubitt), who was murdered while trying to stop a teenage house party on New Year's Eve.I love doing new projects.
I was definitely looking for something that I found compelling enough to take away from vacation time, and I just thought, I've never done a real life story, and I thought it was really interesting.Raver brings a variety of emotions to her character and sets up the pay-off of the ending. Greg Grunberg is tenacious and deliberate as Paul Jackson, the detective investigating the case.
Charlie McDermott and Hayley Ramm are standouts as two teens who know more than they are saying."It was an amazing tool to inject Teddy into this tight-knit group, and it was an amazing thing to be able to play. And while I'm very sad for Teddy, it will be nice to see her have her own life and romantic interests," Raver said during a recent conference call with reporters.


Good Morning Everyone! This scrapbook layout was borrowed from my club blog site. All my scrapbooking layouts has been focused primarily for my club site and I don't have the time to create a layout for this blog site. I wish I could work faster but unfortunately, trying to create projects for 3 blog sites is a challenge!
Anyway, the theme of this layout is "family". I used CTMH "Serendipity Level 2 paper kit" and CTMH "Just Blooms Big Pinks" for the flowers at the top left corner. Using a craft blade, I cut parts of the images of the designer paper. I kept part of it intact and slid my photo under the cut images to frame it. I also used CTMH Bigger Brads for the center of the flowers.
The chipboards are from K&Co and the stone like alpha stickers are from EK Success. I used the "visual triangle" principle to create balance to my layout. The photo corner to the top right is what balances both the black and red colors of my layout which attempts to focus my photo as the center point.
The photo is a picture of me and my family taken a few years ago. I believe this was taken in 2004. This was the last "professional or studio" photo we took together.
I'm hoping to take a family "studio" photo soon. It seems as the kids grow older, the less we take family photos together. It's a big thing when the kids are little for some reason but less so when they're older.
Luv what you did with this layout, awesome job!
Wonderful page. I have to agree with you. We have to take picture often of the family because they are growing so fast!
This is just Gorgeous! What a Beautiful family picture!!
I found the same thing...I have tons of pics of the kids when they were small but far less as they got older. Not sure whether it was because we just got too busy or because the changes didn't seem as apparent as they were when they were small.
This is beautiful paper, like to see you doing this layouts !
Your layout and beautiful Maria! The DP is so pretty!!! Your comment is so true about family photos. My family needs to make an appointment to have updated pictures taken also.
Love this layout. I'm getting inspired to scrap again. Your family photo is beautiful!!
Really pretty! I love how it all ties together so nicely and how the photo is tucked a little under!
What a beautiful page, and family, love how you have the flowers coming over the photo. I can barely keep up with one blog.
this is pretty, girl!!! yep, kids are growing up soooo quickly!! Enjoy them while you can!!!
Love the color combo, the pp, everything.


I haven't written anything for a while, and that's because so much has happened during 2011 in Greece, that I really don't know where to begin! I've made some decisions though during the last months and that is NOT to refer in some subjects which might be considered as "serious matters" by most people.
I'll sum it all up in one article but until then I really needed something to get me going, get me writing again (yeah, you guessed right, THIS is it). I stopped playing PC-games over 5 years ago (with the exception of GTA3 and GTA4), but lately I found out that my browser (Google Chrome) has this game installed which is called "Angry Birds". I started playing, just for fun, and I really became addicted. I finished it up in a matter of hours and it really felt very good to ease your mind after so long. Most gamers might think it's silly but well, maybe if I had a blog in the 90s this game would be "Lemmings" or "Worms" instead of "Angry Birds".
And some real yellow birds!!!

Shadow Falls Characters
Posted on April 16, 2013 by CC
I often get asked which character I feel closest to in my Shadow Falls series. I have to say, this is very much like asking me to choose my favorite child. Each of the characters in Shadow Falls has a little bit of me inside them, which makes me feel close to all of them. Della is my rebellious side, and don't we all have one of those? Miranda is dyslexic, which means as a witch, she gets her spells wrong sometimes. (Which brings in lots of humor.) And I relate to her because I'm dyslexic, too.
But of all the characters, I think I relate to Kylie the most. I based a lot of her backstory on things that happened to me when I was a teenager. I had a family member die when I was around her age, and my parents got a divorce, too. That was so hard for me. Plus, I had girlfriends making some bad decisions where boys were concerned, just like Kylie's friend Sara. I used all of the emotions I felt, all of the insecurities and uncertainties I experienced as a teenager, when I molded Kylie's character, and I think it helped bring her to life. I guess you could say I plagiarized my life to create Kylie. However, Kylie is a lot cooler than I ever was. Oh, and I never discovered I wasn't human.
Readers also ask me which of the two love interest I relate to the most. It's so hard, because when I was writing a Lucas scene, I was a Lucas fan, and when I wrote a Derek scene, I was a Derek fan. I can honestly tell you guys that I made a huge mistake writing this series. You see, this is the first book in which I wrote a love triangle, and I didn't know that I needed to make one guy so much better than the other. I basically wrote two great heroes, both of them almost perfect for Kylie. But as crazy as it sounds, I think I let Kylie make that decision and not me.
But I want to know which of my Shadow Falls characters to you relate to most and why?

I never thought about how much I might relate to the characters, because it's basically hard for me to wrap my head around that.
But I see a little of myself in some of them; Miranda has problems at her home because of her dyslexia – I'm not dyslexic but I do have problems that disappoint my family. Not to mention my problems make me feel like a delinquent.
Holiday and Derek are both very kind and caring people, which I try to be. I guess I like Derek better than Lucas because I see kindness in his heart, something that I have but can't seem to make use of. When I talk, I mostly tell the truth, which they do as well.
Lucas has his own group, but he's mostly a bit of a loner and a selfish person. Again, I don't hate him, because beneath all that harsh exterior, he's a good guy. I relate to him because I am myself a loner, and mostly prefer to stay at home or wander off alone.
I was one who got bullied at school for being the weird kid, kind of like Kylie feeling out of place at Shadow Falls because of her mysterious pattern, but at least she didn't get picked on. When I started thinking that way, it's easy to relate to her feelings.
Kylie's kinda wishy-washy when it comes to her feelings, but so am I. And who would blame her when everything in her life gets more messed up? Love, family, self-discovery, ghosts, and even danger, all of these things pool together into a spiral of complications. Who would blame her for being angry and wishy-washy? At least friendship isn't as complicated for her.
And family issues: who doesn't have them? Holiday's, Perry's, Derek's and even Kylie's parents are all divorced; Burnett never knew his. Lucas has his own troubles at home, and even Della has to lie and endure her father's scolding just to stay connected to the family. I guess I relate to Della this way, and share some of her rebellious side — it just doesn't show as much.
Jay on April 17, 2013 at 11:26 am said:
I guess I connect with Kylie the most because I have trouble knowing myself, and have always felt out of place in crowds. I'm also mostly a loner, and have a hard time aking friends to fit in with. My grandmother passed away when I was a little, too, but I wasn't quite as sad as my mom was.
Oh, and I forgot to say I'm Chinese, so I guess I relate to Della this way. I feel sorry for her though, at least my parents are that strict.

You have no clue how excited I am!!!! Even though ive read all the books, I'm buying all of them so I have them to keep and reread over and over cause I absolutely love them!!! Can't wait and soexcited! Love you! I also love lucas and derek btw!!!
Carp on April 16, 2013 at 12:02 pm said:
I thought a little bit about to whom of the characters I can relate the most and I think I can realte the most to Miranda. I can totally understand her fear to fail and I myself would do anything to make my family proud, too. As Miranda I'm sometimes under pressure to get good results for example in school, sometimes I create the pressure myself, just like Miranda. Like her I'm sometimes shy and insecure and not always sure which decision is the best. But I care a lot about my friends, too and are very loyal to them. Just like her I can't be angry with one of my friends for a longer while, I mostly forgive them very easy. Maybe I'm a bit like Helen, too because like her I don't like being in the spotlight and would consider myself as caring as her.

I can relate to perry the most i think. sometimes misunderstood, i like to be the comedian of the group. I kinda feel as though i cant win no matter what i do sometimes as well.

Hey c.c I still find this werid commenting and writting for other people to see but I just had to this time your right a little bit of each character comes out in everybody but I was drawn to this book because of kylie she is like me in so many ways from her hair to her personality. I as well had a friend like sara its funny to think about though because my name is sarah ha. But what can you do other than try to keep them out of trouble. What I find the closest I have to her is trying to find where she belongs and she will always go running to help someone else and put her self last. I still to this day do that. I am excited to read what other people relate to which characters. Hope all is well c.c. 🙂

i think that Helen is the one who matches me the most because she cares about every one and is a bit shy. She also is kind to everyone.

I think I relate to Della the most. I fell for a boy and even though I didn't do… that it still hurt a lot when he left. I'm still not completely over it and I'm hesitant to move on just like she is with Steve. Also I try to act tough and be there for my friends but I get hurt really easily and sometimes I just need a friend to be there for me. But for some reason I also connect with Kylie. Feeling like an outcast. Hating algebra. Wishing that I was normal. Being torn between two guys… one that broke my heart and one that's trying to mend it. I guess I'm a combination of Della and Kylie. Wow that's a scary thought lol.

Hey C.C, I don't think you did a mistake with a love triangle. It's actually kind of refreshing because in most novels I've read it's always obvious which guy the protagonist is going to end up with, but this is the first series I've read where I'm not sure who the protagonist will end up with, and where 50% of people like one guy and the other 50% like the other, and it's really frustrating, but it makes me want to read the books that much more! I am such a huge Lucas fan, I've said that many times, and he's always fought for Kylie and never gave up so I have my fingers crossed hoping that he's the one Kylie chooses despite everything that's happened but I have a strong feeling he redeems himself someway. I know he made a mistake, but everyone does and if he truly loves Kylie he will fight for her, and I know when it comes to Kylie Lucas will never give up.
As for the character that I can relate the most to, I would say Helen and Miranda. I'm pretty shy like Helen, but also caring and helpful towards my friends. I strongly relate to Miranda because when she talked about always having to impress her parents and siblings, and living up to her family's reputation , it reminded me of my own family. My parents, aunts and uncles always compare me and my cousins in terms of who does the best in school, gets the highest marks and does the best academically. It can be really annoying and frustrating especially since my mom was always the top student in all her classes throughout high school and university so that adds on more pressure when people look at me, her daughter and expect me to be the best as well, but I'm not although I'm a pretty good student. So sometimes that messes with my self-esteem and makes me feel like I'm not smart enough for my parents like how Miranda feels that she's not a good enough witch for her parents and family.
Alyssandra on April 16, 2013 at 8:22 pm said:
Hey, yeah I totally agree wit the fact that your live triangle is amazing. It's keeps readers on the edge and has that perfect mix of one being better at on e time and then switching that my friends and I can point out who we all think is going to come out in the end and change our answers every time or come up with new things that make each character great for Kylie. We all have our "types". So, your love triangle is perfect.
I also want to say that I never have really thought about what character I relate to. Not in one single book I have ever read. It's hard. When I read I automatically get sucked into the book as whatever character is being portrayed at the time (if its a good book). So in that way I think that to be sucked in by a character you have to relate in some way to them. Connect with them. And have done a wonderful job of doin just that. I feel like one character and the other characters all at once. In real life as I walk down the hallways of my school and as I read.
I know lotsa of parents expect that from their kids. Sometimes, the pressure is so heavy that it drives them off the edge. Like Della's parents, Chinese people are known for comparing and competing – they always want their children to make it to the top in school, go to the best university, get the perfect job, and get the life they expect them to. Sometimes tells me even without dyslexia, Miranda would still have a very hard time at home. My parents aren't like that in that department, so that makes me lucky. And when the time comes, Miranda will just have to stop living life the way her family wants her to, because no matter the expectations, it's still HER life.
As for Kylie's love story, I'm mostly a Derek fan, but even with my support, I've always had the feeling that Lucas is the one she'll end up with. Lucas seems a bit selfish, but I know he means well and just wants to protect Kylie. I'll accept whatever comes at the end of the book, but I hope it's Derek who gets the chance. Not that I'll hate the alternative… unless she ends up with neither.
Here's my question: Would you hate it IF – just if – Derek is the one who ends up with Kylie instead of Lucas?
I wouldn't hate it if Derek ends up with Kylie, but I would feel disappointed and a little upset at first. Derek is an awesome guy, but I don't see him and Kylie together. I think he's better off with someone else. Lucas and Kylie have something special. I was really upset after Whispers At Moonrise, and was so angry at the possible idea of Kylie running off to Derek because I had so much faith in Lucas, and I still do. I would be disappointed that after all this pack business that they just go their separate ways or Kylie and Lucas decide to be "friends." It just seems wrong to me. But I can see Kylie and Derek being friends. Like I said before Lucas never stopped fighting for her, and he said himself that he was doing everything he was doing to be with her. He told Kylie that he was hiding something, and he was only doing it to be on the council, it makes me think that his heart was in the right place, but he was making a mistake, and that something turned out to be pretty shocking and broke Kylie's heart. I guess it all depends on what he does in this next book, whether he dumps his pack or lets Kylie go. But I can't see him giving up on Kylie, and if Kylie gave up on him, I can't see him accepting that. He's thought about her for 11 years and knowing Lucas is a fighter I don't think he will ever give up.
It seemed like Lucas put his pack over her, but I think the people who are still on Team Lucas can see that he was doing everything to be with her, and that he truly loves Kylie. I just hope Lucas redeems himself. I'm suspecting that he never told Kylie because he was afraid he would loose her, but now that she left him it will give him the push he needs to go prove his love for Kylie. Well that's what I'm hoping for.
Just one more week left, and we'll see who she picks and ends up with.
Jay on April 17, 2013 at 11:56 pm said:
Believe me, I see that too. Someone told me that he chose his own pack over her, but when I read the book, I didn't see it that way. He was just 'playing games', as Clara said. And yes, he's too stubborn to give up on Kylie. It'll be hard for him to even watch her from a distance. And in spite of everything else, I still see him having the bigger chance of ending up with her.
Too bad I'll have to wait longer than one week, since I live in Sweden. Sometimes I get desperate.
Alyssandra on April 20, 2013 at 9:59 am said:
Aww. That's so sad. Maybe if you have family in the US you can get then to send you a copy… I'm one of those people rooting for Derek but i have to agree that l
Think Lucas will probably be the one she ends up with. But who knows? We will see in less than 3 days so yay!
Emily on April 16, 2013 at 4:12 pm said:
I guess I relate to Kylie a lot. My parents got a divorce when I was little, but I sometimes wonder if it would of been better if they hadn't. I sometimes feel like they hide the cause of the divorce from me. I feel like my dad is a bad guy often, and I often feel really isolated from others because of who I know myself to be.
Iesha on April 16, 2013 at 5:33 pm said:
I think for me it would have been Kylie but as i started to read the series i saw a lot of me in della in the beginning then as i trailed along i was a derek fan but then i became a burnett fan its weird but hey i kinda get what is doing as a dad figure for kylie and then i was a lukas fan but he let me down so i really don't know who i would pick its ways my decision every time i read it. But i know that the last book will keep me guessing just like all the other four books have and when i read them i can't seem to put the book down. It's that addicting for me to see what happens next i cant wait till i get mine><.
Denise Pack on April 16, 2013 at 6:01 pm said:
I think I could relate more towards della. Her and I are both smartasses and we state our oppinions loud and clear and also like her if you become my friend you can bet im always going to be there for you whether its helping you out of trouble or beating the hell out of someone whos causing it.

Sherri on April 16, 2013 at 11:00 pm said:
I would have to say Miranda. Maybe because she is a little awkward, wants everyone to be happy, noisy, and well a little sassy XD. I know one of my very close friends is a lot like Della being all bad ass, but hides her true feelings so you can imagine that we fight like Miranda and Della, but we are definitely close. I'm sad to see them go but still love the series and I think I would definitely go for a guy like Perry XP

In a way I relate to Kylie as well. I did go through my parents divorce, one of my family members died and just like she can communicate with gohst i used to be able to communicate with cats! We both have blonde hair and have been in a love triangle situation. I can't wait until chosen at nightfall and i'm dying to know the love that gets picked. (i'm a lucas fan) I know for a fact i won't be able to put it down so i'll probably be done the next day. Love you C.C
Alina on April 17, 2013 at 12:48 pm said:
I really like Hellen and Kylie, because they are very kind and helping. In this love traingle you mentioned, I think, if you'd make Lucas a bit more… open to this ghost-thing he would be perfect. He isn't selfish, as some people around here think. He goes, risking to see his dad, because he wants to help his sister. Sorry, but that doesn't sound selfish to me ;). Of course, Derek would be good for her, too. But he doesn't know Kylie as good as Lucas does and he was a big ass, trying to make her jaleous, leaving her when she needed a friend. I understand why he did it, but it makes Lucas more sympathic. And, Lucas bought her a kitten. Derek may have saved her a few times, but when it comes to her discovering herself, than Lucas was always there for her, The healing, the dream-thing… I think he'd be better for her than any one else.
If you have no idea what Kylie would do, you can create the PERFECT guy for her, she falls in love with him, is freinds with the other to boys, feels a bit guilty,as usual and everything is okay. Don't missunderstand me, I love your characters and I really can identify with Kylies Always-guilty-psyche,but she has to choose sometimes. At last, I really ADORE your books, even if it doesn't look like I do – but if I wouldn't, I would never write anything of it! 😉
Hillary Reyna on April 17, 2013 at 2:37 pm said:
I think I relate a lot to Kylie too! But she's definitely a lot cooler than me as well. I don't really go out to parties or anything and I've never gone to boarding school like her, but even so, I wish I was a supernatural like her. It would be so awesome to be a chameleon! 🙂 I think I relate to her a lot because of her personality. As far as I know I'm honest and supportive the way she is and sometimes I'm even the peace maker. I don't like when friends fight and I also like giving advice when I know I can give it. I'm not in a love triangle though or been in love before, but I think it's nice to know that there might be good guys out there like Derek 😀 Although I also love Della because I have some snarky remarks to give every once in a while and I definitely use a lot of sarcasm like her. But I tend to be really emotional like Miranda too, though I'm not dyslexic…I guess I have a little bit of all of them in me too. Honestly all of them are awesome, even Lucas who got on my bad side, and that's great because I get to care about them all almost equally 🙂
lily on April 17, 2013 at 5:52 pm said:
I think i relate to Kylie the most because like her I'm kind of a loner I don't really belong to any one group. I also relate to Miranda because I'm dyslexic and i try not to disappoint my family. I'm also like della to because i act badass around my friends when I'm not and i try to hide that.
Sophie Lee on April 17, 2013 at 6:23 pm said:
I can relate to Della the most because I am rebellious at times and get pressure from my parents. I always speak my mind even though it seems to get me in trouble at times. I'm there for my friends whether it be the fun and happy or the tough times. I am pretty tough, and I do cuss (trying to get rid of that habit) but once they get to know me I let them see parts of me that I dont usually show to others. Like Della, I try not to rely on others,because I've been let down and it does hurt when they do. Everyone can relate to at least one thing about each character in the book and all the things that make up each individual character is what makes them interesting.
Emma on April 22, 2013 at 8:31 pm said:
I relate to Kylie really well because I am a a lot like her I don't have many friends and struggle to make friends. I love this series and can wait for it to come out only a few hours to go. I am also a lot like Della because I don't really let people in and when I do it is after knowing that I can trust them. If I feel that I can't trust some one I become a bitch and don't think just like Della and don't let my true feelings show.
Sandra on April 18, 2013 at 12:01 pm said:
I think i relate the most to Kylie and Della. Kylie because like her, my parent's divorced when i was a teen, and my mother got a stupid new boyfriend too, which i have to say i did not like AT ALL! Della because of her bad attitude, past, and sassy mouth, i think i'm more like her! I definitely have a bad attitude, and i'm not afraid to speak my mind, i swear my sassy mouth opens on it's own accord. And my past is very similar to hers. I wasn't very close with my parents either, and most the time i felt like i was invisible to them too, so i totally understand her feelings! 🙂
Jaidyn on April 18, 2013 at 1:25 pm said:
I can honestly say that I relate mostly to Kylie and Della because when I was little my parent's seperated and i sorta have a sassy mouth and try not to show fear. I can really say that I'm more dominant as Kylie but just a little less dominant to Della but she is only a part of me that comes out at serious times like standing up for me or others or my family.
Tina N on April 18, 2013 at 3:37 pm said:
I guess I relate the most to Della. It's hard to express my emotions at time and so I am always on guard. Also, I am asain. 😀 I guess I also understand what Della goes through
Oh, and I didn't know you were dyslexic. If more people knew about it then people would have more faith in themselves and it comes to show that nothing is impossible if you try hard enough. You concured a disablity and now you entertain many many people. And it's writing and reading and you're an author so that is amazing! :.)

I love reading these. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. You guys are the greatest!!! I love hearing who you can relate to, because then I know I've done my job as a writer. Even with all the flaws, the gifts, and the personality quirks in these characters we always need to relate to them. To see ourselves in them.
We should be the ones to say thanks cause your the one who gave the gift of these books! Sooo…..

HayStack on April 18, 2013 at 7:55 pm said:
I can truly say I am a mixture of a lot of the characters. For Miranda because of her longing to get over her dyslexia, and not one to wait for things…. I am like Della because I truly value my friends and love them to death and would do anything for them. But then again, Kylie is most like me. My parents got divorced too. My dad found another and my mom was alone, so I pushed her to get back in dating. I have had friends who make bad decisions even though we all know she really isn't a bad person. And I'm the same with the guys with Kylie, when I fall for one I stick with him until he breaks up with me. I then find another guy to fall for, but sometimes I am not over the next one. You can really understand Kylie's actions. My friends tell me I am very strong mentally, and I feel like Kylie is too. Kylie is really lovable!
Gosh, you sound like me! LOL
That made my day lol!
Oh and for all the Lucas lovers I figured we need a Derek lover.
Okay, think about it. If you loved someone so much, and they loved you too, but one person was holding you back so much, wouldn't you be mad too? I have always loved Derek. From beginning to end. Lucas, I just feel isn't right with her. They are really cute, Lucas and Kylie but truly? I've always felt like they never really fit together as one. Not as Derek and Kylie are. I feel almost like its the hunger games again. It's like Gale is Lucas and Derek is Peeta. I feel like even though Katniss and Kylie both had a time where they were with their Peeta's and then went back to their Gale's, they both know that they love their Peeta's still. They would die for either one of them. They love Gale/Lucas, but the magic will always be with the Peeta/Derek. If kylie and Derek end up together it will be like a fairy tale for both of them. Kylie will be able to forget about Lucas, but the Derek will always be holding her back from Lucas. And personally, I'd love to see Lucas and Fredricka end up together and Derek and Kylie! Team Lucricka and Dylie!! LET'S GO DEREK!

I think I relate the most to Kylie. Physically we are very similar, blonde, bleue eyes…It's not about character but it help when trying to identify with someone.
As Kylie, I have problems at home between my parents and I often find myself between the two of them, it's really hard when you don't know how to deal with that. As Kylie I love my parents but it's not something in which I can intervene.
For me, she's a caring person (not like Holliday and Derek but caring perso anyway) who sees when others don't go well and try to help them. She occupies her mind with everything else to not think about her own suffering! And I'm exactly like that! ^^
As Kylie I'm fearless when it comes to my friend and family. I think I could be a protector like her!
In love, as her I saw my friend make bad decisions. I'm a romantic girl lol I just couldn't do like her and I think exactly like Kylie about sex. Well, I didn't have two hot guys after me ahah…. lucky Kylie!!
Finaly I think I can relate to Dela for just one point. She reacts badly when Kylie left Shadow Falls because she was afraid her friend doesn't come back…She thinks Kylie abandons her. Dela saw this act like betrayal. She doesn't want to suffer again so it's her way to protect herself…She's tired of being desappointed… I react exactly like her!
Soooo I hope I didn't make too many mistakes and I hope you understand what I meant ahah :S

I relate to Miranda the most cuz I'm dyslexic like her. it makes me so happy when she does well because I know how hard it is yo keep people from noticing and when I was younger I tried sooooo hard to keep it under wraps. now that I'm a little older I wear it with pride I love telling people so they can be shocked that I read as much as I do. Miranda makes me so happy because it isn't very often that books have people with problems like that and it is so nice to resonate with a character on such a personal level. that being said I've totally got the Hoyt's for Lucas and I love all your characters.:) lol

I think i relate most to Della. First of all, I love her and she's awesome. BUt I am a lot like Della. No, I am not a vampire, but I have had people hurt me in the past and that makes it hard for me to trust new people. My parents put a lot of pressure on me. Not so much that they think I'm on drugs and make me take those tests every half hour, but a lot of pressure nonetheless. I'm sure there are more reasons but I'm too tired to think of them right now. Maybe later…
Just like Isaiah Aldridge I was also jumping up and down and I had this huge goofy grin on me and I was also eatting celery so I almost spit it on my mom and the laptop. My mom looked at me like I was an idiot. Well I am an Idiot Who Is Happy. (Universe: Just wait)

Oh man! this is so hard! Like you C.C. I feel like I can relate to all of your characters in different ways. In some ways I guess I am like Miranda, being the goofy friend always making a mess! If I was a witch I would definately be turning my best friend's cat into a Skunk and stuff like that.. I can also relate with Della because I can be sassy wether I want to or not. I can also be picky when it comes to friends but the friends that I do have I am extremely close with and protective of, just like Della. Those two characters are the two I would have to pick when it comes to relating to them.
P.S. My best friend and I have a countdown going until Chosen at Nightfall is released! We are super excited!

I never thought about it, but I am more like Miranda. I have dyslexia and it gets me into a lot of trouble sometimes with literature and math. I even thought Della's name was Dellia, until a friend of mine pointed out that I needed to look again. I found my own way around it; I read books two sometimes three times so I know the words are right. I also have an odd fashion; I love to dye my hair different colors. It is like a mood ring in my hair. The person I wish I was is Della because she is strong and confident. She will hurt anyone who harms those she cares about, or if she just doesn't like you. Della has really great self confidence, and she knows what she wants. Thank you for asking this question because it makes me feel good about relating to characters in your books.

I'm very straight forward and tell it how it is. but unlike della, i have many friends, and I'm not as held back as her. I love attention and have ABUNCH of friends; so I'm unlike her in the respect, but we definetitly have one similarity: STUBBORN.

I love to support local people espicailly when they are GREAT…I have put you in that collum!
I finished the 2 in 1 in 3 days and have to drive to Beaumont to find the next book!!! The 2 in 1 will go to my friends at the Nederland Starbucks, because the joy of reading should always be passed on and paid forward, I only have 1 rule…Readed it Love it and Pass it on…ok well thats 3 rules.

I feel that I am a combination of Miranda and Kylie while wishing I would verbalize my attitude like Della. Instead I like to keep my smart comments inside (unless it's really well deserved!). I'm not nearly as outspoken as Miranda but I definitely have her drive to succeed. On the other hand, I'm probably more like Kylie in most other aspects. I'm fairly shy and always put others before me. I would also like to think I would be a chameleon too. I see both the bad and good sides in people, my mood can change rapidly, and throughout my life I have never been given an easy hand, nor have I ever taken the easy road. I think it would be exciting and challenging to master being a chameleon, and knowing my luck, that's probably exactly the hand I would be dealt. Except I probably would not handle it nearly as well as Kylie (hopefully does!), particularly communicating with spirits. That would freak me out!
Thanks for writing such an amazing series =) When you write your next story, you can count me in as a loyal reader!

I think I can relate to Kylie the most because like her my parents got divorced. The day my dad moved out my parents where fighting. Also like Kylie they were fighting right in front of me. I tried not to cry but i did. They're my parents I didn't want to see them fighting. I love them and it hurt seeing them fight. Also like Kylie my dad found someone else. And like Kylie sometimes I wished my parents would get back to together so we could be one happy family again.
And like Kylie I had a friend that was my friend for a really long time. But then I twitched schools. We didn't really talk much after that. And we only hung out a hand full of times. Like Kylie we slowly drifted apart. I still talk to my friend but we're not as close as we used to.
I can also relate to Kylie because when she went to Shadow Falls she found new friends that she had a lot more in common with. When I went to my new school I hung out with a group of 'friends'. Then the next year a new group of 'friends'. I guess like Kylie I drifted through different groups of friends. But unlike Kylie I didn't have Sara. I drifted by myself. But like Kylie she eventually found the right friends. This year I found those friends and every day we get closer. I'm a lot happy. I laugh a lot more like Kylie did with Della and Miranda. And also like Kylie I like my new life better than my old because I found the right friends for me. People that are just as crazy and weird as I am.
Oops. Realized you already picked a winner. O well it's still fun to comment.

I think I relate to Kylie the most because I have had my boyfriend breake my heart by cheeting on me. No matter what some1 tells if I fell the need to I will do it. I would give my life for someone I love and care about my life is completed like Kylies and when I have a quest I won't stop till I've fulfilled it

i love the book I can relate to almost all of it with the love intrests and all you have that one guy that would give you the world one that is sexy and cant stop thinking about but you don't know which one you want so you stay single and see them both in your own way and once you have made one mad you want him more than the other and think to yourself do I really need him and what did he give me that the other cant, then one you decide on the one you want the other comes back and you don't know what to do I have had this happen to me and I cant wait to see what happens next…..<3
so I believe I can relate to kylie the most out of all the characters

I think I'm a mix of Della, Kylie, and Miranda. I can be very sassy, and I get pissed off easily, but I don't always act like that. I can be like Kylie in the way of I honestly don't know how to deal with my problems, and I have trouble accepting myself for who I am. I love Miranda for the fact that she is confident and the only people that can easily intimidate her is her family. I'm not dyslexic, but I do have trouble spelling, and my family are the only people that can easily intimidate me.

Q: Qual o significado do operador "??" Estava olhando uns códigos e me deparei com o operador ??:
static int? GetNullableInt()
{
    return null;
}

int y = x ?? -1;
Qual a diferença do primeiro código para o segundo?

A: Ele é chamado de null-coalescing. Em alguns contextos ele é chamado de operador "Elvis".
Se o primeiro operando é nulo, o resultado da expressão será o segundo operando. Caso contrário o resultado será o primeiro operando.
int y = x ?? -1;

é o mesmo que fazer:
int y = (x == null) ? -1 : x;

Se você tem um valor que pode, de forma correta e interessante, substituir um valor nulo que provavelmente causaria um problema no uso, é uma forma simples de realizar a substituição.
Artigo na Wikipedia.
int?
Os dois códigos fazem coisas completamente diferentes, não dá para compará-los. O primeiro apenas retorna um nulo, o que provavelmente tem algum motivo muito específico no código encontrado. O que tem nele de diferente é o int?.
Este é um tipo. O nome completo do tipo é int? (lê-se "int anulável"). Isto é usado apenas em tipos por valor. Estes tipos são criados como structs, e não podem ter um valor nulo, já que nulo é apenas uma referência para um local inválido da memória (em geral 0). Então estes tipos foram criados para permitir que tipos por valor tenham um nulo.
Estes tipos são chamados de nullable types ou tipos anuláveis. No fundo é uma struct composta basicamente por dois membros, o valor do tipo, no caso um int e um campo bool para dizer se ele é nulo ou não. Se for nulo, o valor não deve ser lido.
Este tipos na verdade são obtidos com a classe Nullable. Então int? é apenas um açúcar sintático para Nullable<int>.
Complemento
Em C# 6 existe também o ?. (null-propagating). Ele será usado para decidir se o próximo operando será avaliado ou não. Por exemplo:
x.ExecuteAlgo();

resultará em uma exceção se x for nulo. Porém se usar o novo operador o método simplesmente não será executado. Isto é útil em alguns cenários em que você não quer que algo seja executado, se o objeto estiver em um estado inválido por nulidade:
x?.ExecuteAlgo();

Executará o método somente se o objeto x estiver inicializado corretamente. Este código é o mesmo que fazer:
if (x != null)
    x.ExecuteAlgo();

Um exemplo mais complexo:
x?.y?.z;

é equivalente a isto:
(x == null ? null : (x.y == null ? null : x.y.z))

Coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.
Para testar isto baixe o Visual Studio 2015 ou superior que conta com o novo compilador e o .NET Compiler Platform.

One can conclude that since these men and women died in the faith it is certain that they lived in it as well. A person cannot be identified with something in death that they were not associated with in life. This fact is ignored at many funerals as men try to paint a rosy picture of the departed and search out even the most obscure words, deeds, or associations of the dead in order to brand them as believers. Yet true faith is that which is not hidden; rather it is the sum and substance of the true believer's whole existence. (Read the entire 11th chapter of Hebrews).
Much of the teaching, about faith, that goes on today centers on the aspect of believing and receiving. Faith is reduced to little more than a bargaining chip or tool to get what we want. The proud proclaimers of "name it and claim it" are on every corner and they cease not day and night to weigh GOD'S people down with a burden that neither they nor their fathers were able to bear. They tell us that the reason we aren"t healed or wealthy is because we just do not "have faith". The blessing of GOD (in their mind) is a blessing, which is enjoyed in the flesh, and those who enjoy such "blessing" possess the new status symbol of "faith". Those who are afflicted or without abundance of this worlds good are (according to them) in this condition because they are really lacking in the belief department and are more or less second class citizens in the family of GOD.
The scripture is abundantly clear that faith does not exempt GOD'S people from suffering "They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise." (Heb. 11: 37-39). Obviously, these men and women were true believers. The difference in true faith and that, which is a cheap substitute, is found in the object of one's faith. These believers openly confessed that this world was not their home and that they were looking for something, which this world could not supply. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Col. 3:2) True faith has its sights set on something and SOMEONE, which is not of this world.

I have my buffer generated and a list of the counties, along with summary statistics, but I can't get the style of the row right. I tried both a hard coded height on .dgrid-row as well as setting this to height: auto.
Sometimes the list of names wraps and looks OK and other times it chops them off. The length of the list of county names will vary and I'd rather have it automatically resize as needed, rather than hard coding a specific height. I have a ColumnResizer on this,so at least the user can stretch out the field to see all the contents, but I'd like to manage it with a style setting if I can. I see there an autoHeight: true on the grid, but that seems to be for the entire grid and not individual rows within it.
I assume you are generating the comma separated list of Counties. Cant you just add space between them?
Try messing with width properties, not height. For what it's worth, I have no idea what width properties are available to an OnDemandGrid.
Then, mouseover, you could display the full text in a tooltip.
where Counties is the name of the field, but I don't want it to be as wide as the entire results, because that's just too much real estate to take up with one column.
I'll look into the tooltip. I saw that I could add the ellipse, but not how I could make the tooltip show the full results. It doesn't do it automatically. The article I mentioned also says it's not supported in all browsers and we have some older versions of IE still installed.
I would have to dig deep into the memory banks to remember the syntax. It's possibly going to be something custom. But, it's also pretty easy. If tooltip isn't supported on mouseover, I would create a div dynamically with the content being the full data of that field.
onmouseover="document.createElement('
'+ data + '
')"
It starts out as an array, which I switch to a comma delimited string using var coList = countyNameList.join(); I was able to add my own separator of (", ") and now my data is word wrapping and my row sizing the way I want.
There wasn't anything I needed to have on the Counties column for a styling. These two combined with a space after the comma did the trick.
UPDATE: Don't use this style on the .dgrid .dgrid-scroller. As I added more rows to my grid, instead of having a scrollbar appear, rows started disappearing. It looks fine without it, so I commented it out of my stylesheet.
I have this is a contentPane with a splitter on it, so the height will vary, but at least there is a scrollbar when you add the max-height.
Of course it worked just fine for me without any scroller style, but I haven't tested it in all browsers yet.

The Old Ticket Office building
The pier building was once the hub of village life where foot passengers met as they waited for the ferry to take them on the short crossing to South Kessock in Inverness. Highland Council have transferred ownership of the building to The North Kessock Ticket Office Project for community use.
We hope it will become the village hub again where locals and visitors can meet in this uniquely beautiful location.
Our aim:
"To purchase, repair, upgrade, manage and maintain the former ferry ticket office, waiting room and toilets at North Kessock Pier as a heritable community-run amenity. This will provide a range of facilities which will be available to the wider community. It will improve the visual appearance of an important focal point of the village of North Kessock and thus improve the lives of people in the village."
The 'Archive' menu link provides a record of the past few years.
Our vision for the future:
The North Kessock Ticket Office Project set up as an SCIO registered charity in October 2014. Since then a lot of hard work has gone into gaining community support and obtaining funding thanks to our Project Manager Alan Jones.
The refurbishment of the building started with the demolition of the windbreak wall in November 2017 and In March 2018 the Builders started knocking down internal walls to make the interior open-plan for best use of the space.
The public toilets will re-open which was one of the key points that locals had asked for in the community survey. There will be a Ladies/disabled and a Gents toilet sited at one end of the building and a new toilet for the use of people attending meetings in the inside of the building.
The space created in the inside of the building will be put to good use. The old Ticket Office area will be used by the local History Society to show artefacts etc. from the days of the ferry and will put on different exhibitions there. Local volunteers will be on hand to speak to visitors. The old Ticket Office window will be retained and new windows to let in more light and to show the wonderful views will be installed. Large sliding glass doors at the entrance to the old waiting room will enable light into the main area and show a panoramic view of the Firth and the Kessock bridge.
The main room will be available to be hired out as a meeting space for local groups and classes and for exhibitions. Now that the Project is underway it is very exciting that our vision is becoming a reality after all this time.

Chairwoman NKTOP

Semovente da 75/18 – Feared by Allied Tank Crews
by Jim H March 7, 2010
written by Jim H March 7, 2010
Background on the Semovente da 75/18
The Semovente da 75/18 is an Italian Self Propelled Gun developed in part on Germany's successful use of the StuG III during the French campaign. The first prototype delivery occurred on 10 February 1941. Pleased with the results, the Regio Esercito ordered 60 units. Delivery occurred in 1941 and shipped to the Italian divisions in Libya by January 1942. The intention was to use it as an interim vehicle until the P40 heavy tank became available.
A battery of Semovente da 75/18 M40 ready for inspection.
Initially, the Semovente M40 da 75/18 used the same hull, suspension, and engine as the Fiat M13/40. In 1942, Ansaldo built 162 75/18 M41 units using the upgraded Fiat M14/41 chassis. In 1943, the Semovente da 75/18 M42 began using the Fiat M15/42 chassis and engine. Ansaldo built 190 units.
The vehicle-mounted an obice da 75/18 mod. 34 field gun fixed in the superstructure. The front armor comprised of two 25 mm plates bolted together.
Most Feared by the Allied Tank Crews
Although mainly used as artillery, this Self Propelled Gun was quite effective against U.S. built M3 Grant and M4 Sherman medium tanks utilized by the British Army.

These units were of good quality and respected in the campaign in North Africa. In an anti-tank role, the 75 mm EP (Effetto Pronto; Ready Effect, or HESH rounds), was capable of piercing 3.14 inches (80 mm) of armor plating at 500 m.
Variant Differences
Semovente 75/18 M40 weighed 13.1 tons, a max speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). The powerplant is a V8 SPA 8 T M40, 11,140 cc with 125 hp. Maximum Range is 210 km. Armament includes an additional 6.5 mm Breda 30 MG.
Semovente 75/18 M41 weighed 13.5 tons and a max speed of 21 mph (34 km/h). The powerplant is a V8 SPA 15 T M41 11,140 cc with 145 hp. 6.5 mm Breda 30 MG upgraded to 8 mm Breda 38 MG.
Semovente 75/18 M42 weighed 15 tons, max speed of 24 mph (38.4 km/h). The powerplant is an 8 cylinder SPA 15TB with 190 hp. Max Range is 200 km. Upgraded armor of 70 mm on front casemate, 45 mm on sides and 50-55 mm on the front nose.

This week, BlogHer's parent company, SheKnows Media, partnered with Public Radio International on the #womenslives media initiative. Basically, we want people talking about women.
We need to do this because only about 24% of all news subjects talk about women in any way, and only six percent of news stories highlight gender in/equality.
So, basically, we're ignoring half the population of the earth. Daily.
You can take a step toward changing that. We're going to talk about gender and womanhood and equality and inequality and stigma and women's health using the #womenslives hashtag.
Did you know JLaw got the paycheck shaft on American Hustle compared to her male co-stars?
Did you know heart disease is the number one killer of women and the symptoms can be different for women?
Did you know young women are harassed online three times as much as young men?
Did you know that people used to believe only boys were dyslexic because only boys were studied?
Would you stay in an abusive relationship? Why this blogger did.
That there are so many posts about surviving and witnessing domestic violence is heartbreaking, such as this one from Beauty School Scarlet, this one from Brown Girl From Boston, this one from Living Off Love and Coffee, this one from Loving Ryan (her mother's boyfriend starting their acquaintance by killing her kitten), this one from Heart of Michelle, this one from Not a Stepford Life, and this one from Transparency.
That Super Bowl domestic violence ad was a real 911 call.
I'm a feminist, and I catch myself accepting inequality all the time because it's always been that way. The whole women's paycheck thing hasn't changed, it hasn't changed! Women get charged more for everything from hair products to shoes even though that paycheck thing exists. We still don't have a female president. Women hold 4.6% of CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies despite the fact more women than men graduate from college.
Change takes more than just conversation, but it gets harder to ignore or cover up things people are talking about. If you're the Facebook type, please join our Facebook group, where we'll be sharing information and talking about #womenslives every week. Because all you need to do is believe in yourself. Like a girl.


This beautiful country of volcanoes, jungle and and coastline is one of the least traveled surfing destinations in Central America, thought it's popularity increases each year. El Salvador has over 300 km of coastline with extremely consistent waves. The coast runs east to west and catches any swell generated in the southern hemisphere with average wave size of waist to head high for much of the year! Ocean water temperature averages 85° year round and most surf breaks are easily accessible off the main road.
Often called "the land of rights" due to El Salvador 's perfect right hand points formed by river mouths and cobble stones, it also has miles of unexplored beach breaks. El Salvador became a popular surf trip destination in the 70's, especially the La Libertad area, but the following years of Civil War kept most surfers away during the 80's and 90's allowing the few brave surfers living there to enjoy decades of uncrowded waves. Now peace has returned and so has the surf traveler.
Generally the county is divided into two surf regions, the more populated stretch of coast is the Costa Balsamo region. The area of coastline is less than an hour from the airport at San Salvador and generally runs from La Libertad west to Mizata. The region has some dramatic coastline (especially between Mizata and Sunzal) and some very popular, even legendary surf breaks such as Punta Roca. Surf camps, vacation rentals, small hotels, surf lodges and cheap bungalows on the beach abound in this region. The vibe is generally good at most spots, but don't be surprised to find crowds at breaks like Sunzal, El Zonte, or Punta Roca.
The "Wild East" or Oriente Salvaje region of El Salvador is home to many secret breaks as well as well known spots such as Punta Mango and Las Flores point break. This region holds many high quality breaks along it's shores, though many of them not as easily accessible as the breaks around La Libertad. A boat is needed for some of the surf spots such as Toro de Oro and Punta Mango. Las Flores is where you'll find the most accommodations options, including private homes for rent, surf lodges, hotels and beachfront huts. In addition to the famous point break, just down the beach, El Cuco has a consistent beach break and more hotels to choose from.

Bank strike hits services across India; cheque clearance likely to be affected
Mumbai, Feb. 28 -- Nearly 10 lakh bank employees across India went on strike on Tuesday to protest against various issues facing the country's banking system. According to a statement by Vishwas Utagi, vice-president of All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), a united forum of seven unions have announced a strike on Tuesday. Members of employee unions, including All India Bank Officers Association, National Confederation of Bank Employees, Bank Employees Federation of India, Indian National Bank Officers Congress and Indian National Bank Employees' Federation, will be on strike, according to Utagi. The members include employees of foreign banks, private banks, state-owned banks, regional rural banks and co-operative banks, who work at 1.25 lakh bank branches across the country. The members will be "opposing merger of state sector banks in the State Bank of India (SBI), consolidation and privatization of banks, demonetisation and destruction of Indian economy and outsourcing of regular work", according to Utagi. The unions will also demand the recovery of Rs16 trillion worth stressed assets by punishing big borrowers and bankers responsible for these loans. The unions will seek compensation to customers and employees, who died during the 50 days of demonetisation. The government has said that the SBI will merge with its five associate banks by 1 April. According to various economists and by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) own assessment, demonetisation is likely to have an impact on economic growth, albeit short-lived. The Indian banking system has been struggling with resolution and recovery of bad loans, which has proven to be difficult due to macroeconomic difficulties and lack of a sustainable model.
