Colour Bomb To Go Off At Get It On! Big Gay Out
Colour Bomb To Go Off At Get It On! Big Gay Out
Take a summer day, a white shirt, a whole lot of coloured chalk bombs and hundreds of screaming, excited people and what do you get? The Get it On! Big Gay Out's Rainbow Run!
This colourful event is one of a two premier experiences at the Get it On! Big Gay Out – the other is being kept top secret until it's activated on the day. New Zealand's favourite day for the LGBTI community, their friends and family, is on this Sunday, 10 February at Coyle Park, Pt Chevalier, Auckland from 12-7pm.
Inspired by the Indian Festival of Colour and similar events around the world the Rainbow Run is a unique experience focused less on speed and more on crazy colour fun with friends and family.
Get it On! spokesperson Joe Rich says there are only two guidelines for festival-goes wanting to participate on the day: "Remember to bring a white shirt, and be prepared to get plastered in coloured chalk powder!
"By the end, you'll look like you fell into a tie dyed vat of coloured goodness," he adds.
All products used in the Rainbow Run are 100% natural and safe - you can eat the stuff if you'd like, though we don't recommend that.
The event is situated next to the Dance tent and will be running throughout the day for people to join in the fun.
Other experiences to look out for at the Big Gay Out include the Durex Perfect Glide Slide, dance tents, market stalls, face painting, the Big Gay Out dog competition and acts at the Durex Main Stage including the Get it On! Underwear Parade, Drag Queen shows, community performances and of course our headline acts Maree Sheehan, Brooke Duff, and Kids of 88.
"If you happen to be near the sitting area in front of the stage at say, 5pm, then you might be in for a fun surprise," Rich says. "Though of course I'm not giving anything away just get!"
All we'll says is watch out for balls.

While 56 percent of Republican voters say their mind is made up, 41 percent say they might change their mind before the September 11 primary election. From August 6 - 12, Quinnipiac University surveyed 302 New York City likely Republican primary voters, with a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percent. "Herman Badillo has a long history in New York City politics, most of it as a Democrat. He has not spent much money telling Republicans why they should vote for him. Michael Bloomberg, also a former Democrat, has spent millions getting his name in front of voters," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "The lesson here is: Money talks, and talks, and talks. "The primary is four weeks away, and there is no indication that Bloomberg is running out of money. The outlook for Badillo is not good." By a 59 - 7 percent margin, New York City likely Republican primary voters have a favorable opinion of Bloomberg, with 22 percent mixed and 11 percent saying they don't know enough to form an opinion. Badillo gets a 33 - 16 percent favorability among Republican voters, with 18 percent mixed and 31 percent saying they haven't heard enough to form an opinion.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) Texas A&M has agreed in principle to give coach Kevin Sumlin a contract extension and a raise after he led the Aggies to 11 wins in his first season with the team.
Sumlin, who was hired from Houston after Mike Sherman was fired, recently completed the first year of a five-year contract worth $2 million a year.
Terms of the deal weren't released pending approval from the Texas A&M Board of Regents on Feb. 1.
Sumlin's staff will also get raises under the new deal.
Sumlin and Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel led the Aggies to their highest final ranking since 1956 at No. 5. They finished 11-2 for the fourth 11-win season in school history, one year after going 7-6.

John Hinkel Park History
John Hinkel
Berkeley businessman, John Hinkel, deeded John Hinkel Park to the city on May 22, 1919. The park is one of the last tributes to his philanthropy and humanitarianism. Aspiring to improve the community he erected the rustic-style clubhouse, large native-stone fireplace, a network of paths and a playground on the reported 7 acres of land (the largest gift the city had ever received). Hinkel demanded the proper development of native planting and made sure that the park had no artificial plantings. To accomplish this, he put Berkeley Professor and landscape architect, John Gregg, in charge of the overall landscape and plan of the park, which is an outstanding example of Berkeley's participation in a national cultural movement that incorporated nature as a fundamental component of early 1900s' planned neighborhoods. John Hinkel Park preserves and embodies the cultural and architectural history of Berkeley at the turn of the 20th century.
The clubhouse is the only pre-1920's structure remaining in a Berkeley city park. It has significant architectural merit due to its use of brown wooden shingles. From 1919-1934 the use of the brown shingles was more popular in Berkeley than anywhere else nation-wide, and the city became known for them. Between 1895-1915, Berkeley established itself as a city with distinctive architectural character and the clubhouse remains one of the few lasting publicly owned tributes to this achievement.
Today the clubhouse is in need of restoration and has not been used since 1991. A group of neighbors have been interested in restoring the building which housed storage for the Shakespeare festival, dance classes with Berkeley Folk Dancers, and classes in theatre for over thirty years.
Stone Fireplace
Designed by John Gregg, the fireplace and picnic area are part of the parks original donation. They inspired outdoor eating and picnicking, and are examples of the cultural movement to incorporate nature as a component of neighborhoods. They became so popular that 3,000 people and conventions applied for permits to use of the fireplace and picnic area within the first year of its opening. Due to the popularity, the city built three subsequent parks with open-air fireplaces in the 1920's.
Boy Scout Hut
The hut is one of John Hinkel's many attributions to Boy Scouts. The hut was moved from what is now Martin Luther King Junior High School (formerly Garfield Junior High School) in 1938 in order to provide an enclosed meeting place for the boys who had been meeting at the park since 1920, and continue to do so today. The hut was also used by the Camp Fire Girls organization for ceremonies and by the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival as a dressing and meeting room.
The Amphitheatre
The open-air theatre is part of the movement that combined architecture and nature. The theatre was used in the 1940's for community gatherings, music and dance productions. In the 50's and 60's it was used for music and folk dances, barbershop quartets and piano. Most noteworthy, however, was its use by the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival from 1971-1991. The Festival attracted hundreds of viewers every year to enjoy the "hillside amphitheatre among trees, a cool breeze, a full moon… the dappled sunlight pouring through the greenery… and the incomparable magic of Shakespeare" as described by the San Francisco Chronicle in 1976 and 1977. Today the amphitheatre is used periodically, but it is in need of restoration.
The location of the playground is a part of the original gift by John Hinkel, and though it may have been restored long ago, the equipment is now very old.
Landmark Designation
John Hinkel Park embodies important aspects of Berkeley's participation in an architectural and cultural movement at the turn of the 20th century. Due to the park's historical significance, the clubhouse, network of paths, fireplace, Boy Scout hut, playground and amphitheatre, as well as the landscaping plan, have all received landmark designation. In honor of John Hinkel, the park preserves the past that it represents and remains an important community resource

Nick got lots of well wishes from fans on Twitter and wrote in response, "Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes today! Vanessa and I are feeling the love from you all. Here's to a great day!" Vanessa, meanwhile, wrote, "Now the Birthday Vaca begins!" They have lots to be thankful for in 2011, especially since the newlyweds tied the knot at Richard Branson's Necker Island on July 15.

(And some other examples of quilting and needlework)
I drove over to visit my Cousin Alta one day this week. She lives in Tennessee about 100 miles southwest of here. We had a pleasant afternoon of talking about family history and life in general. Alta and my mother, Doris Sees Hill, were first cousins. Alta's mother, Elva Sees Hix, and my grandfather, Harry Sees, were brother and sister.
We started talking about and looking at quilts when Alta's friend came by to return some quilting books. She brought along a pinwheel(?) quilt and an unfinished quilt top that she wanted to show Alta.
The fabrics of the quilt top are vivid turquoise, pink, and purple prints. Alta's friend laughed about her daughter who said, "Mom, that's just not you!" when she saw the colors.
After her friend left, we looked at some quilts Alta has made. I photographed them so the Prairie Bluestem readers can enjoy them too. However, the photos don't do the quilts justice because they don't show enough of the detail.
Two more of Alta's embroidered quilts:
- White blocks, set together with blue -- sorry, this photo is a little fuzzy.
- Roses, embroidered on white blocks, with matching shams and throw pillow
We spread the quilts on Alta's bed, one on top of the other. Alta said she would leave them stretched out there for a few days to let their fibers relax. It's not good for them to be rolled up all the time.
The quilt at left is a friendship quilt that includes blocks made by relatives. Alta showed me this one to give me an example of how I might set together some quilt blocks that my Grandma Nora gave me.
When Alta and her husband first moved to the little village where she lives, she wanted to make a friendship quilt, but she didn't know anyone who could or would make a quilt block. She didn't realize how many quilters lived around there and how friendly they were! The quilt at right is the result.
Alta showed me three Log Cabin quilts that she has made.
- A diagonally striped quilt with matching shams and a coordinating pillow
- A diamond-patterned Log Cabin quilt -- notice the mini-blocks in the border.
- A diagonally striped Christmas quilt made of Christmas fabrics
As I was labeling these photographs and getting them ready to post, I wrote that this quilt has a pinwheel pattern, but now I'm wondering if they are windmills instead.
The quilt at right is a Fourth of July quilt. Each star is made of a different, star-patterned fabric. The back of the quilt is a star-patterned Christmas fabric, so it can be reversed for the winter holidays.
After she had quilted for a while, Alta realized that she had a big collection of quilt blocks that she had made as experiments, trying out different patterns and fabrics. She fitted them together and made a sampler quilt. A good name for it would be "The Joy of Quilting."
Alta's mother (my great-aunt Elva) was a quilter, too. Alta has a wedding ring quilt that her mother made. Also, Alta has framed a nice piece of embroidery done by her mother. Alta learned to hand quilt so she could finish some of the quilt tops her mother left her.
When Alta was a little girl, the Omaha World Herald published a quilt block every week, for the ladies to trace onto fabric and embroider. Alta used the World Herald patterns to make her first quilt when she was about ten years old - a Wild West quilt (photo at left).
Every embroidered block features a historic Western character, such as John Brown, Calamity Jane, and Sitting Bull. Alta's mother machine-quilted it for her after she had all the blocks set together.
Another interesting old quilt was given to Alta by a neighbor lady in Nebraska. This neighbor lady was single all her life and known for being grouchy. However, Alta was kind to her and became her friend. When Alta and her husband moved to Tennessee, the lady wrote to her every day for many years.
an unusual Sunbonnet pattern, partly appliqued and partly embroidered. Alta says she has never seen the pattern in any other quilt.
Alta's current project is a baby quilt (photo at right). She traced the animal pictures from a coloring book and embroidered them.
These photographs don't represent all the quilts that Alta has made. She can't even remember how many quilts she has made and given away.

When Hashem appeared to Moshe at the burning bush in parshot shamot perek gimil why did he call Moshe's name twice? He could have just said "moshe" ONCE!
Rashi (Breshit 22:11) Calling the name twice is a sign of love.
1Also Rashi (Vakira 46:2) Words of Frindship – morah hochman Nov 17 '11 at 20:21
The Zohar (Bamidbar 138a and 187b) points out that this repetition is further unique in that the two "Moshe"s are not separated by a pesik (vertical line), unlike other repeated names in Tanach ["Avraham | Avraham" (Gen. 22:11), "Yaakov | Yaakov" (ibid. 46:2), "Shmuel | Shmuel" (I Sam. 3:10)].
This, says the Zohar, was because Moshe was perfect from birth (i.e., he was the same "Moshe" throughout his life), unlike the others who, at the time when Hashem called them, achieved something that they hadn't previously had.
Thanks to everyone for adding my sources, next time I will include them in the answer. – morah hochman Nov 17 '11 at 16:30
We often see throughout the Tanach that Hashem calls someones name twice. We learn from the Mafarshim that this means Hashem is saying, 'I love you-do not worry my next request is not a hard one.' Often the double name is followed by 'Hinneni", here I am, meaning that I will do your next request without even knowing what it is. This is what we see with Moshe at the burning bush. Hashem calls his name twice meaning I love you and Moshe responds Hinneni without knowing the request. As we continue the story Hashem's request is not an easy one and does not seem to follow the principles set out above. However, a careful reading of the text shows that Hashem's first request and the request to which the double name and the Hinneni refer to is in fact the removal of Moshe's shoes. Hashem continues, using Moshe's name only once when he requests that Moshe go down to Egypt to speak with Pharoh.

Nokia has announced it will re-launch the world's most loved mobile phone - the Nokia 3310!
The Nokia 3310 was first launched in 2000 and some people are still using them.
To date, 126 millions Nokia 3310 phones have been sold.
The 3310 won cult status because of its near indestructible durability.
It also featured much loved games such as 'Snake II' and 'Space Impact'.
The new incarnation of the phone will be sold for just €59 and will be launched at the Mobile World Congress later this month.
The battery life on the new 3310 is expected to much greater than the power used to operate modern day smart phones.

Hi All
I've decided to retire.
I mean, not actually retire but to stop running face-to-face week-long things like my retreats and face-to-face 10-month-long things, like my coaching course in Frankfurt, Germany. (My dear U.S. and Australian friends, this also means I don't intend to do any in your part of the world, either.)
I'll still write, and I'll stay active in Hanging Out comments - I can't help myself. (Don't forget, that starts again on November 17th and then you have to wait for many months before you can join again!) And I intend to do some rather cool conference calls. If you're on my mailing list, I'll tell you when.
But except for an occasional invited lecture or two-day workshop, the upcoming coach training in Frankfurt (the one that starts November 15 and lasts 10 months) will be the last time I work face-to-face with you, my fellow humans.
I've loved it, every minute. It's been powerful stuff for many of you and for me, too. But it's time to move on to my next project. Life is not forever.
I tell you this in case you're one of the people who really, really wants to work with me 'someday.' I just think you should know that your last 'someday' starts on November 15, 2014 and ends September 13, 2015. Ill meet you in Frankfurt five times and work with you long distance anywhere in the world in between. And if you must miss one of our two-day weekends, I'll help you catch up.
Of course, I intend to make it my best coach training ever. In fact, I'm rubbing my hands together as I plan what we'll be doing in this coming year. If you're a natural coach and my work matters to you, you're going to have an exceptionally fine learning experience. And you'll go on to do a lot of good in this world.
Just think of how your life might have been different if an intelligent, naturally talented coach had shown up at some crucial times in your life and said, with respect and genuine concern, "Can I help?"
Okay, that's all I'll say today. You do what you have to do.
Upward and Onward!
With warmest regards,
Barbara Sher

Brazil Sertao Carmo de Minas is one of the cleaner and sweeter Brazils we've cupped lately with honey sweetness, nut roast tones, and versatility in espresso blends or as SO.
Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Regalito has stewed peaches and balanced sweetness, also great for SO espresso.
Nicaragua Finca Santa Elena Caturra is clean and crisp with peach notes, succinct malty finish, and a juicy mouthfeel.
Hawaii Kona Kowali Farm Typica has a wonderful brightness that is sometimes lacking in mild Hawaiian lots, white grape notes, cane sugar, and a long lasting honeyed finish.
Kenya Nyeri Kagumo-ini Peaberry is vibrantly tangy, with sweet mandarin orange acidity, caramel sweetness and a pleasant citrus zest finish.
Sulawesi Seletan Peaberry has honey and caramel sweetness with apple, green grape and kumquat notes at light roasts and bittersweet cocoa at darker levels.

Hey everyone! I'm back with another tut as a request. I'll now be showing you "how to draw Cookie Monster". He like my big bird, Ernie, and Bert, is a fairly simple character to draw. So I hope you enjoy this tut. I've got a couple more sesame street characters on the way, but there's others that will look great too! Enjoy!

Behold, the Salvation Army finds. Almost everything was half off for their new year's sale, and I took full advantage (duh). The pictures are crap but I'll wear them soon anyway, just CALM DOWN GAWD TAKE A BREATHER.My mom found this 15 cent black lace top which will be great for layering. The vest was $5 and anything leathuhhhh is a-okay by me (minus a questionable pair of flared red leather pants with flames going up the sides I saw at the store too. Those really aren't necessary. At all. In fact, I might buy them just to burn them. Ooh look at me, beating the flamed pants at their own game!)
That was way too long to be a set of parenthesis, and for that I apologize. Let's carry on, shall we?This is the Rei collage, because the polka dotted skirt reminds me of Tao (especially once it's pinned/cinched/draped) and I plan on doing an insane Comme des Garcons DIY with the pink top and skirt. CDG and DIY don't really go together but I'll do my best (my best=try for 5 minutes then ask my mom to do it).Oh, and the Tao skirt still had its tags on-H&M, $20. How much did I get it for? A buck, and brand new, too. B jealz.This granny blazer has the coolest buttons and sillhouette and collar lining. One of those buys that you know is too big but you just can't let it sit on the racks. Or worse, go into the hands of someone else, making them happy. No one is allowed to be happy except me and Belle, who I really bought these for. Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk. Before I send them I shall first try to pull off wearing shoulder pads 215743 sizes too big, kthanks. Same goes for the purple one. You wouldn't believe how rich the color is, the picture really doesn't do it justice.
And just to remind ya'll...We'll be answering other questions too, so if you're curious about anything just comment and we'll get to it!

Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas which is produced from burning fuels such as wood, oil, natural gas, kerosene, coal, and gasoline. Because CO is invisible, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating, the gas can kill you before you are aware of its presence. There are many steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting sick or dying from CO gas poisoning. The following materials provide information about CO, sources of CO, and actions you can take to prevent CO poisoning.
- What You Need to Know about Carbon Monoxide
成人香蕉视频appThis fact sheet provides general information on CO--sources, impacts on the body and poisoning prevention.
- Carbon Monoxide: Know the Hazards
成人香蕉视频appThere are many sources of CO including generators, power equipment, household appliances, barbeque grills, lawn equipment, wood stoves, fireplaces, and automobiles. This fact sheet provides tips on proper maintenance and operation of these potentially dangerous CO producers to help you avoid illness and death. Instructions on installation and use of CO detectors are included.
- Carbon Monoxide Hazards from Wood Pellet Storage
成人香蕉视频appTo minimize the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning, wood pellets should be safely stored in a separate structure outside your home or business. The outbuilding should have ventilation to the outside and any pellet delivery openings should not allow access to children. Signs should be posted at the storage area to warn everyone about potential CO hazards.

Farewell, dear Belfast, it was great getting to know you
Farewell then Northern Ireland. After five-and-a-half sublime, occasionally tempestuous, always intoxicating years we are going our separate ways.

Farewell then Northern Ireland. After five-and-a-half sublime, occasionally tempestuous, always intoxicating years we are going our separate ways.
Sport really does have the power to unite and inspire, doesn't it? It's not just a sugary old cliche. I was thinking about that at our sports awards on Monday night as a host of stars received well-deserved awards.
We all think we know the Dunlop story, don't we? The incredible bravery, the death-wish need for speed, the diffidence in the face of imminent tragedy, oh, and the incredible on-the-edge sportsmanship, the overwhelming desire to win.
It's enough sometimes just to nod in agreement. You don't necessarily need to go to war, enact laws or shout from a megaphone to defend freedom as we understand it. Despite what those who came from the Dark Ages last Wednesday would believe you don't need Faith, just faith in humanity.
I've the man flu. But you won't find me going on about it. Come to think of it isn't the term man flu a bit, well, you know, sexist? If I told a female she'd only got a bit of girly flu there would be hell to play. But when a man is laid low, his pipes blocked, nose running, head pounding (I'm trying not to exaggerate here) it's a source of much mirth. Look at the fuss he's making over a sniffle, they titter.
I'll never forget the maroon shirt and exact-same-colour singlet. How could you? It would have left an indelible scar on anyone, let alone a 17-year-old boy.
It must be the cat. She's always pushing open the door and rustling around in the middle of the night. You can sometimes wake up and find her staring enigmatically into your eyes from inches away. You get the impression she's been studying you for hours.
My parents say they were clearing out the attic and found them in a corner. It is the matter-of-fact way they say it that surprises me. On the table is a collection of my late grandfather's war medals and in the middle the Croix de Guerre, one of the highest military medals the French can bestow. It's not far off the Victoria Cross for equivalence.
It's a mesmerising photograph. The handsome, brooding, tousled-hair poet and his lover. He looking intense, bruised, involved, she blanker, looking to the distance, possibly for escape from this fierce-burning passion.
When I was 19 my father gave me a lesson on how to fold a towel over a handrail. I was back for a few weeks from university and stood before him astonished as he halved it lengthways, dropped it neatly to the middle of the rail and let the other half fall, perfectly matched. It was like a particularly dull challenge on the Generation Game.
We are staying with friends in Portsmouth on the south coast of England for the weekend. My elder son has decided, without much training or preparation, to take part in the Great South Run and we've gone along to support him.
I only stumbled across the pictures because I had man flu. I'd gone to bed early and switched on the TV, looking for distraction. As usual, nothing was on.
What if the best thing you ever created was 38 years ago? Wouldn't that be a source of regret? That a peak point of your life was almost four decades ago. Wouldn't you always be struggling to recapture that moment, top it with something else?
I've seen the future of rock and roll and it's 30 people gathered in an unprepossessing house near Bristol.
My father nearly died laughing. I can still see him now on his hands and knees choking and retching uncontrollably, it being unclear whether my mother violently hitting him on the back is for dubious medical purposes or some sort of punishment for being so stupid.
Sorry to return to one of my favourite subjects, but I've just noticed an obituary tucked away in one of the newspapers. It's for Winifred Dawson, who has died aged 85.
I have a confession to make. I'm not really sure it's a wise move to confess it in this newspaper, but here goes. I never really got Van Morrison. When I was young, I took the road signposted punk rock, garage and New York, stuff like Talking Heads and Velvet Underground plus a lot of reggae. R'n'B, Caledonian/Celtic soul and all that sort of thing was another musical highway heading in another direction.
I spotted her in the new Marks & Spencers on the Lisburn Road. They've built a new swanky store where the old Co-op used to be. Amid the rest of us late-night, ready-meal hunters, with one hand she was distractedly popping shiny goodies into a basket slung over her arm.
When is the last time you saw a gyrospinner? Come on, it's not a difficult question. You know, the round metal contraption that spins someone around until they're sick?
Pity the poor kakapo. It's a dumb bird, really, but it probably didn't deserve what happened to it. The kakapo is a bloody big parrot that can't fly. A big disadvantage, you might think, and you'd be right.
You've probably only got tonight and tomorrow before it's replaced by the summer's Hollywood flotsam and jetsam. You know Godzilla 4: This Time It's Serious and the like.
Betsy Andreu. What a gal! Just two words to her name, but mention them to any professional cyclist from the dark doping days of the Tour de France and the power of them will send shivers down their spines.
I was in the cinema the other day watching an age-inappropriate film. It was 22 Jump Street, the American slacker comedy about two thick cops who go back to school to crack a drugs ring. I'd laughed like an imbecile at the first one (21 Jump Street. See what they did there?), so the thought of two hours of brainless fun enticed.
I missed my younger son's birthdays from the age of 12 to 17 because of work. I vowed never to do it again. It was Monday just passed and he's now 20. No longer a teenager.
Why don't we know more about Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon? After all, he is famous in Brazil and we are all over the place right now. You'd think we might have heard a snippet about him. I stumbled across his story this week. It's a page-turner.
I read the obituaries in newspapers regularly these days. It's a sign of getting older. The urge to appreciate the lives of the people commemorated, to follow their story arc, grows the more you start to imagine what your own might read like even though there's no chance of it ever being written.
Got your wallchart up yet? I have. It's on the fridge. I got it out of the Sunday papers. Beautifully produced and now just waiting for me to lovingly fill in.
I'm in love with another woman. She's a little older than me. We glanced at each other across a crowded room when we first met.
Head down, iPod on, I've walked past the derelict building on my way to work so many times and never stopped to look.
Are you coming out to see the band then, my younger son asks on Saturday? Although I'm always up for a gig, it's been a long week and I'm at work again on the Sunday, as the big story hums all around. I'll need my wits about me.
Everyone needs a few places where The Man can't get yer. Those hideaways that give you brief respite from the pressures of the modern world and the boss class.
"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."
Kim Philby died an alcoholic in a shabby Moscow flat in 1988. Long before then, he had lost the golden boy aura, the gilded good looks and charm and had simply become the unadorned traitor he was.
IT'S only when you see them lying side by side – as they have done for more than 600 years – that the beauty of the words overwhelms you.
I'm on my own for the entire weekend. And I don't mind. In fact, I revel in the solitude. There are opportunities, too. The dusty acoustic is coming out. I'm going to get reacquainted with some of the old songs I used to murder.
You have to put yourself in the shoes of that nightwatchman, really. We'd have all probably called the police in the same circumstances. There you are minding your own business in the wee small hours. You can hear a pin drop.
Every time I visit, it is the Duff Coopers I remember. There they are looking quite impossibly posh. Turn of the century blue bloods exuding a sense of entitlement.
All plans for the weekend have gone wrong. I am supposed to be in London for a celebration, but there is no way I'm going over in this weather.
I hadn't thought about the band The Yellow Dogs much recently. I mean, why would you? They're not exactly in the Garth Brooks league of popularity. They're from the Iranian capital Tehran. I wouldn't even have heard about them if it wasn't for a small indie film a few years back called No One Knows About Persian Cats.
The BBC Bangkok sailed unnoticed into Belfast docks on Sunday. An unremarkable cargo ship visiting on an unremarkable day. She's a 128-metre long, almost new vessel, currently sailing between here and Denmark with metronomic regularity, keeping trade between these isles and Scandinavia moving.
It's never a good idea to upset a former member of a punk group, is it? Somebody did it to Hugh Cornwall, former lead singer of The Stranglers, on Sunday and we all copped it.
Where do you stand on cardigans? Come on, it's a simple question. I'm a zealous supporter of the garment. Many aren't.
Has Sherlock jumped the shark? I think the blockbuster TV drama may have done. Quite refreshing it may still be, excellent acting for sure and, for the most part, the quirky cuts and rapid deductions still delight.
He's holding court in the restaurant. Surrounded by his family, three generations gathered to celebrate the landmark. All eyes are turned to him, his granddad and nan laughing at his jokes. His mother playing her usual gentle cheerleading role.
If I tried to claim the 1970s sitcom Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? was on a par with Pinter or Ibsen, you'd think I was an idiot. So I'm not going to. But ... I've been watching the repeats on TV recently. It is to be reminded how funny, evocative of time and place and, yes, profound the show was.
And so to Londonderry for an all-too-rare trip to the UK City of Culture. Shamefully, this is only the second time I've been this year. Put it down to Belfast-centric living and working. There's never enough time, is there?
Most people know something about the Munich air disaster. The terrible plane crash that almost wiped out Busby's Babes and claimed the lives of 23 people on that icy runway 55 years ago.
Film critics are strange people, aren't they? On the face of it, not a bad job. But you have to sit watching movie after movie in the morning surrounded by other deadly serious followers of art.
The camera is two miles away, but the image it captures is stunning. It is 1924 and in the distance, crystal-clear and rising high in to the sky, is Everest, all brutal black rock and powder-white snow.
It was the monosyllabic fag end of a particularly robust, late-night, half-witted debate sort of weekend when the news came. Friends were about to start drifting away, a little fragile, dreading Monday when someone said: Lou Reed's dead.

I've only ever been for a day trip but you can actually stay over in one of the cottages or hotels, there are also a good variety of places to eat. Portmerion also hosts Festival number 6 in early September which looks like such a brilliant family friendly event, I hope we get to take Wilf someday. Tom and I visited years ago on a trip to see my parents (who live in west Wales) and I snapped these pics on my phone, writing this post has reminded me how much I want to return and now I know a little more about photography take some photos that really show how stunning a setting it is.
I really loved reading about some of the other areas via the interactive map, there are so many spots right on our doorstep we have yet to visit which is quite exciting! Here's to a spring and summer exploring more of our beautiful country!

KOffice 1.4.2: Improved OpenDocument Support and Updated Karbon
The KOffice team today announced the second maintenance release of the 1.4 series. Among various bugfixes and translation improvements, the KOffice 1.4.2 release further improves support for the OASIS OpenDocument file format and interoperability with OpenOffice.org. Also, Karbon, the vector drawing application has been much improved. More changes are listed in the changelog. Binary packages for Kubuntu and SUSE have been contributed and a Klik package is being prepared right now for those who want to test this release without installing it first (testers are welcome).
First Post!
Wow, nice to see many improvements and bugfixes in KOffice, and especially sooo many in Karbon14. Thanks to all KOffice developers for the most complete office suite on earth!

Second Post? (Re: First Post!)
Is the OpenDocument format native in KOffice?
By Ernest at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Second Post? (Re: First Post!)
Just as native as the old native format, that's to say, it's implemented in the applications themselves, not as a filter from and to a native representation. But it's not yet the default format: that will happen with the 1.5 release, which is scheduled for the end of January.

Rich text copy and paste
Does KOffice supports rich text copy and paste ? This is the main reason I use Openoffice.org
By Althazur at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Rich text copy and paste
Yes it does.
In the klik bundle, I'm including a few documents, describing some things you can do with it (like start up in different languages, and start up the different applications individually, instead of just via koshell (the Everything-Integrating Office Suite Environment).
All these documents I've written with alpha versions of the bundle itself.
After I had readied different 1-page documents, I decided to put it all in 1 multi page document. I did so by copying and pasting the formatted content from the first into the second, onto empty pages. It worked flawlessly.
By Kurt Pfeifle at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Rich text copy and paste
I mean from an html web page ( konqueror or mozilla ... ) to kword.
By Althazur at Wed, 2005/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: Rich text copy and paste
I've tested between OOo en KOffice, and there it doesn't work. I'm not sure why not, actually, but there's probably something complicated with clipboard standards and so on involved; it's something that should definitely be looked into.

Klik package
Please! Could the klik package be made "self contained" so that it doesnt depend on debian libs ? Something like a self-contained directory ? (with very basic external dependencies). I have been having fun kliking around in Mandriva, but only some self contained packages (are they called bundles? ), like Firefox, etc. really work fine (which is expected anyways)
Many thanks ...
By MandrakeUser at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Klik package
Cyrille Berger tested the experimental Klik package Kurt is working on on Mandriva today and reported that it worked.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Klik package
Thanks a lot Boudewijn!
By MandrakeUser at Tue, 2005/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Klik package
### 'Could the klik package be made "self contained"'
### 'so that it doesnt depend on debian libs'
Debian libs work great. ;-P
Even on other distros...
The most important thing for getting the klik package work on as many platforms as possible, is to avoid "bleeding edge" compilers and library dependencies, and avoid dependency to libstdc++6. Debian Sarge is just about perfect for that. You better make sure that your distro (Mandriva) ships with Kernels that support loopmounting cramfs images (this has been the major hurdle for Mandriva users utilizing klik).
We can't include *everything* without making the self-contained AppDir bundle reproduce and mirror a complete Knoppix system.
We do include a few "known" things, and tweaks that take care of various naming conventions in between distros for the same library.
Having said that thing about Debian -- in this case I used SUSE-compiled binaries (because I couldnt find any Debian packages of KOffice yet).
I'm currently working on a fix for a problem with the included docs and translations (they are not used or shown). Unfortunately, I didnt find many alpha testers for it (but thanks to you two, CyrilleB and Dennis_p!). Looks like everyone enjoys the finished free cake, but no-one is prepared to help the baker do some work....
Once it is ready, I'll announce a download URL, and a bit later a klik://koffice link will also work.

Re: Klik package
Thank you Kurt, you rock!
Thanks for all the info and clarifications. I'll give the klik a shot when it is done. Unfortunately, these days I have very little time to contribute to free software. I'll contribute again when I get a break ... from life!
As per cramfs. I am running Mandriva 2006.0 and it seems to be working.

OOO Filters
Now that KOffice is using the OASIS format natively, would it be possible to reuse the OpenOffice excellent import/export filters from the MonopoliSt office ? Last time I asked, it was impossible, because the OO code was very convoluted and monolitic. Have they refactored stuff for OO 2.0 ? It would be beneficial for everyone, including them. If their filters could run as stand-alone processes, people could write scripts to transform all the documents in a large installation of MS office to OASIS, etc.
And for KOffice, many people who are not using it now could start using it immediately if this functionality (better interoperability with MS office documents) was available.
Any thoughts on this ?

Re: OOO Filters
I'm sorry to have to say that the OOo filter code is still the same convoluted unintelligible mess that appears to directly poke stuff into the internal OOo datastructures that is has always been -- so, no, unless you want the type of solution where KOffice uses OOo automation to first convert an MS document to an OpenDocument document and then load that. But that would, of course, be horribly slow and hackish.
We need better filters, but that's one thing that's nearly impossible to achieve in ones copious spare time; you really have a couple of full-time people for that.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Wed, 2005/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: OOO Filters
That's sad to hear. Hopefully they will consider cleaning up and refactoring for 3.0. There is a general consensus that both their code and their build system needs a major rewrite if they are to succeed in the long term. Just building OO is , by itself, a challenge. Not to mention porting, or trying to hack code into it.
The alternative would be to try to coordinate in FreeDesktop.org , or maybe within oasis, to write (maybe roll up sleeves and try to extract it from the OO mess) stand-alone filters (from/to different formats to/from oasis). Oh well, wishfull thinking. If people from KDE, Gnome, freedesktop.org, etc. pull together maybe this is attainable. I wish I had some time to help coding ...
By MandrakeUser at Wed, 2005/10/12 - 5:00am
CommandLine OOO Filters
yes, a command-line OOo filters would be the solution.
It could allow non-ms office utilities to directly convert a .doc to .odt or (od?) so that other applications could use it.
I wish oo developers should consider a "Document viewer" and/or "Document Converter" commandline, so that other applications like abiword, kword, etc., could use ms filters to get a readable .odt or .odp or .ods file.

Re: CommandLine OOO Filters
hmm, but nodody at oo.o works on that tool... hmmm
By gerd at Wed, 2005/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: CommandLine OOO Filters
Kind of makes you wonder.. is it World Domination (TM) they are after? If people have to load up the entire OO to convert documents, then why would they need "crummy little koffice"? ;-)
But speaking of this.. the a2ps (anything-to-postscript) is a killer app! If we eventually got a "a2od" product, this would make life a whole heck of a lot better for everyone (except M$ ;-). Being able to convert even dvi, pdf, wpd and the more exotic formats to OpenDocument too with a right-click maneuver on both GNU/Linux and win32 could speed up the transition quite a bit... or do you all think I'm barking up the wrong tree? :P

John & Carolyn nostalgia
I was obsessed with John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette. OBSESSED. God I loved staring at photos of them together. They were intoxicating. And even through all his romantic shenanigans, when she showed up, it was as though she'd been designed - this is exactly what JFK Jr's wife should look like. Perfect, right? All of it but for the ending.
Remember that adorable tiny wedding chapel that was exactly the right tone? And her simple white silk Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress that defined the minimalist 90s? Carolyn was the era's style example, almost haughty in her understatedness, and immediately, so recognisably New York of the time. I'd go into Banana Republic with her on my mind.
So his former assistant has now written a book called Fairy Tale Interrupted. Rosemarie Terenzio says their marriage was troubled because John was busy all the time and Carolyn felt imprisoned by the paparazzi. Nothing really new and, really, nothing really worthwhile. After all, it doesn't diminish their mystique. What could possibly diminish their mystique? They were taken at their most beautiful, most intriguing, and will never have to age. Do you give a sh-t if some broad who used to book his appointments tells you that sometimes they would argue but that ultimately they loved each other intensely?
Look at the pictures; you already know it from the pictures. I'd rather look at the old pictures.
Click here for excerpts if you're interested. Or just google image John and Carolyn. It's a better use of your time.

Does gun control mean fewer guns on the street and less violence? Does encouraging gun ownership mean better protected people and less violence?
I don't think it's too early to be asking questions like this. When you're faced with a tragedy like what happened today at Sandy Hook Elementary School, it's reasonable to start asking questions about violence prevention. It's part of the bargaining stage of grief — wondering if there's something we could have done that would have prevented all those needless deaths. And let's get one thing straight: Everybody wants to prevent what happened today.
So what can be done about it? And what does the science say?
I've been trying to get a handle on that for the last hour or so and here are three things it seems we can definitively say:
• It would be completely accurate for someone to tell you that studies in places like Australia and Austria found that implementing more stringent gun control laws reduced deaths from gun-related suicides and violent crime.
• It would also be accurate to say that a study of the effects of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act in the United States showed no big reductions in gun-related deaths, except for suicides among people older than 55.
• And it's also true that a 2003 study of conceal-carry laws in Florida found that they seemed to make no difference one way or the other — neither increasing nor reducing rates of violent crime. Read the rest

Aaron Ross at South by Southwest
House Park lines
Last week, during the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, XGames.com met up with Austin-based BMX Street pro Aaron Ross, a veteran of X Games competition, for a day of riding, grilled cheese sessions and an inside look at South by Southwest. Along the way, Ross took over the X Games Facebook page and interacted with his fans. What follows are the photographic details of Ross & Co.'s day in Austin. Here, Ross "warms up" at the House Park, with a rail to manual to rail to 180 out.
Tom Dugan
Tom Dugan is another Austin-based X Games BMX pro, only he competes in BMX Park. He also knows how to blast a transition. Here, Dugan lays down a huge tabletop air over the channel into the hip at the House Park. Bonus info: Dugan used to work at a miniature golf course before going pro with Fit Bike Co.
Tom Dugan
Tommy Dugan gaps both ways during one run on the biggest channel gaps at House Park. This is just another day in the life of this Kansas transplant and also part of the reason he gets invited to ride X Games.
Matt Houck
Mathew Houck spins the bars on the Iron Wave at House Park. This obstacle was manufactured by local sculptor Chris Levak.
Creek crossing
After a session at the House Park, and in between numerous tweets and Instagram posts from Aaron, the crew headed to the trails. Here, from left, Aaron Ross, Sean MacIntosh and Tom Dugan cross a creek en route to the local dirt jumps.
Tom Dugan
This is Tom Dugan's version of a nosedive 360.
Brian Hunt
Brian Hunt is an Austin transplant from New England who has competed at international X Games events, and this is one of the best superman airs to grace the BMX scene.
Aaron Ross
Aaron finally put his phone down long enough to fire out this 360 tailwhip at the trails. Aaron can ride anything you put in front of him well.
Tom Dugan
After the trails session, it was time for lunch. Dugan cruised away from the trails on his vintage motorcycle. Here he is riding down South Congress in downtown Austin.
Burro Cheese Kitchen
A few months ago, Aaron Ross invested some money in a new Austin-based restaurant, Burro Cheese Kitchen. Their specialty is grilled cheese sandwiches, and Tom Dugan is obviously hungry but can't decide which sandwich to eat.
Burro Cheese Kitchen
"I knew that I wanted to know every part of this eatery inside and out, and hand-building it was the only way for me," says Burro owner Justin Burrow. "With the help of some amazing family and friends, two months of grinding, welding, cutting, torching, glazing, glasswork and everything else under the construction umbrella, I was able to finally realize the vision and transform the container into a minimal, clean-lined aesthetic with full-glass front serving area. The goal of elevating the trailer experience was finally there."
Lunch crew
Here, the crew eats lunch while Burro caters to the arriving South by Southwest crowd.
Brian Hunt
Brian Hunt is so close to being far out. It's signs like this that help Austin live up to the phrase "keep Austin weird."
Heading downtown
As the crew headed downtown, Ross stopped to pet a small dog riding along on the back of a scooter.
Aaron Ross
Here's a picture-perfect tailwhip bunny hop from Ross as Austin looms in the background.
Downtown cruise
As the crew rides into downtown to the South by Southwest madness, Tom Dugan gets sideways.
Aaron Ross
Ross bunny hops a suicide no-hander in front of a famous Austin busker, Violin Monster.
Into the madness
And as the day ends, the crew heads into South by Southwest's madness. Thanks to Aaron Ross and the crew for showing us a good time in Austin. And don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for X Games Austin in June.

Josh Kelley Gossip
Josh Kelley gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Almost Romantic
I thought I was really into these photos of Katherine Heigl having lunch with husband Josh Kelley yesterday. They're cute, right? And there's also something comforting about having someone who's around to love you even if no one likes you. You could say it's actually rather romantic. So here they are, enjoying a romantic moment, and then. Full Story
You can always count on Katherine Heigl...
To look worse than you at a Hollywood event. Again, how does this keep happening??? Katherine Heigl was fresh and gorgeous and not tacky assed and weird-haired the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy. I can't believe it's the same person. Who showed up last night at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Tribute last night with that crazy thing on her head in a dress that looks like what people wear when they're trying to be Kim Kardashian. Full Story
Photo Assumption: Heigl's Husband
It's time to make up baseless assumptions by studying a series of photographs. Let's play Photo Assumption on Katherine Heigl's husband's side-face while out for lunch yesterday with her and her mother. Horror, right? Total HORROR. Imagine – as if Katherine's goddamn hair isn't bad enough, it actually MATCHES her mom's… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MATCHES HER MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is happening here? HOW is it being allowed to happen? I know I've asked this before. Full Story
Why can't you get your hair right?!?!?
I mean… I just shouted out in anger in the middle of the living room at 12:30am at Duana's on Saturday night/Sunday morning while writing this because F-CK, why can't Katherine Heigl ever get her goddamn hair right?!?!? She's 32. She's not 62. She's tall and pretty, with the kind of good looks that don't necessarily intimidate, belying the fact that she's actually a mouthy ungrateful bitch. Full Story

Mattel's Football (just "Football") was one of the most popular standalone handheld games of the late '70s, in the same ultra-addicting category as Pong and Pac-Man. It was the beginning of the end for the attention span of American youth.
Even though I was -9 years old in 1977, when Football was first released, and can't specifically remember ever playing it, the handheld itself, as well as those tiny red dots, is immediately recognizable to me. It's been featured in films like Bottle Rocket and Wet Hot American Summer, and chances are a lot of you readers have one or two of them in the bottom of a box somewhere in your basement. It was an incredibly, powerfully popular game, the first major handheld videogame smash, and judging by the Amazon reviews, people are still playing and loving it today. [Handheld Museum, Thanks Sean!]
Gizmodo '79 is a week-long celebration of gadgets and geekdom 30 years ago, as the analog age gave way to the digital, and most of our favorite toys were just being born.
