Well, pretty much anyone in the world of fashion and film is at the Venice Film Festival this week. And if they're not in Venice, chances are, they're in Telluride, like Emma Stone (who jetted off after the premiere of her film La La Land in Venice this week), or in Deauville, like Diane Kruger and Chloë Grace Moretz, for the French city's annual American film festival. It kicked off Friday night with markedly less fanfare than its Italian counterpart, but Kruger still dressed up for the occasion. She's had a busy slate of premieres this summer, most recently turning out for a round of appearances for Alice Winocour's Disorder, but now she's back to promote Infiltrator at the festival. So far, so good.
Who: Diane Kruger.
When: Friday, September 2.
Where: The opening ceremony red carpet for the 42nd annual Deauville Film Festival in Deauville, France.
What: A crystal heart-embellished chiffon dress from Elie Saab's Fall 2016 couture collection with a Charlotte Olympia acrylic box clutch.
Why: Elie Saab designs very beautiful gowns. It's kind of his thing. He's occasionally been criticized for being a bit one-note, but when a Saab look works, it works. His latest round of designs for the Fall 2016 couture season elevated his classical silhouettes with quirky details (a dress designed in the pattern of the Chrysler building; another embroidered with swallows that looked just about ready to lift off of the gown and fly away), and here, Kruger picks up on that quirk and runs with it. How better to make a dress already embellished with crystal hearts stand out even more than with a few odd accessories? Between her Charlotte Olympia box clutch, complete with the designer's trademark gold spider enclosure, and a single hoop earring with a gold fang dangling from its circumference, Kruger has the pretty-edgy look on lock.
Watch: Diane Kruger doesn't know what it means to be a muse

We welcome interest from individuals who have experienced bipolar mood fluctuations, their relatives, friends, partners, carers as well as individuals who are interested in mental health research but have not experienced mental illness. Volunteers are vital for improving our understanding about the experience and management of Bipolar Disorder.
Spectrum Connect is also open to interested health and social care providers. In this way, health and social care providers can remain informed about our research activitives - including how they may be able to assist with recruitment. Collaborative relationships with health/ social care providers are essential to the conduct of high quality research.
If you want to complete our online enrolment, click here to register now.
Alternatively you can download the form in the following formats:-
Although most of our work focuses on bipolar disorder we also conduct research on psychosis and other associated conditions.
We are interested in the impact of bipolar and associated experiences on a spectrum of individuals including people with a new or established diagnosis, their relatives and carers.
It is also important to understand the differences between people with and without bipolar experiences, so individuals who do not have a history of mental illness are also welcome to join. Spectrum Connect includes a wide range of people aged 18 years and above.
Spectrum Connect is also a helpful resource for health and social care providers as well as the general public who would like to remain informed about Spectrum research and activities.
This is crucial to ensure that our research findings are as representative as possible of people's general experience and make best use of our limited research funding. It allows researchers to identify which people might be most relevant for the needs of their study.
It also allows us to keep volunteers and health/ social care providers up to date with the latest research developments.
Spectrum Connect is not just for individuals with bipolar experiences, but also individuals with psychosis, family and carers and individuals who do not have a history of mental illness. We also welcome interest from health / social care providers who work with individuals affected by bipolar disorder and associated conditions.
If you want to take part in our research and think you have bipolar experiences but don't have a diagnosis, you may still be eligible.
We seek to understand more about recovery, coping and factors associated with high functioning. We are interested in the differences between people with and without bipolar experiences. We are also conducting trials on a range of psychosocial interventions, including individual, group and internet based formats.
Ethics Committees provide researchers with an independent review of their research proposal to ensure that the rights, safety, dignity and well-being of participants are upheld.
As a volunteer, if you agree to take part in research, you can be assured that your rights, safety, dignity and wellbeing are of utmost concern.
Similarly, as a health/ social care provider, if you agree to refer into research, you can rest assured that the rights, safety, dignity and wellbeing of your client(s) is of utmost concern.
As a member of Spectrum Connect it is up to you to decide how many (if any) studies you wish to participate in. You can be a member just to keep up to date with our research if you prefer.
Eligibility requirements vary from study to study. Before you can participate, we will need to confirm your eligibility. This typically involves a brief telephone conversation with one of our team.
Participation can be from a one-off interview to weekly appointments. The requirements will be clearly outlined in the information that is sent to you.
Remember, you can withdraw at any stage. If you begin a study and it becomes too much, let the researchers know that you no longer wish to participate (you do not have to explain why).
Depending on the project and participant preference, appointments may be held in the home, at a convenient healthcare / community setting or at the Spectrum Centre, University of Lancaster.
Our internet based studies also allow volunteers from outside the North West to contribute to our research.
The recruitment region for a project can be found on the relevant page on our website, and will also be listed on the information sheet that we give to potential participants.
In fact, participants are encouraged to continue with their usual treatment(s). If it ever became a requirement to stop any of your treatment(s), this would be clearly outlined in the information sent to you. You would also be given the opportunity to ask any questions.
Remember, participation is always entirely voluntary, so if you are not happy with any of the study requirements, you are under no obligation to participate.
As a member of Spectrum Connect, your details will be kept strictly confidential in a password protected database accessible only to the Spectrum Centre's Director, Associate Director, Spectrum Centre Co-ordinator and a researcher nominated by the Director.
When researchers need volunteers, the Spectrum Centre Co-ordinator will send out information about studies seeking participants. If you are interested in taking part in the study or know someone who is interested, you can contact the Centre Co-ordinator or the researcher directly for more details.
If you decide to participate in a study, we aim to present our findings at conferences and publish them in academic journals. However, individual participants will never be personally identified in these outputs.
All Spectrum research is conducted in accordance with approval from the University Ethics Committee, and where required, the relevant NHS Ethics committee. These committees ensure that we conduct our research in a manner that upholds and respects the rights and dignity of our participants.
If you decide to participate in research, it is an ethical requirement that we maintain your privacy and confidentiality. For example, as a general rule, personally identifying information is kept separate from information gathered during the study, in a password protected database and/ or locked filing cabinet that is only accessible to key research personnel.
Prior to your participation you will be given written information that includes the specific measures used to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
There are certain limited circumstances under which confidentiality may be broken. Essentially, if you were to disclose information about an immediate and significant risk issue that caused us to fear for your safety, or the safety of someone else, then we have a duty of care and would be obliged to break confidentiality.
Please remember that the risk of harm would have to be significant. In the unlikely event of us needing to break confidentiality, where possible, you would be consulted about what information needed to be shared and with whom. The relevant services would then be contacted.

Hemp Industries Association Sues DEA
For Ignoring 9th Circuit Decision in HIA v. DEA
In 2001, the DEA issued new rules to ban hemp foods despite the fact that Congress had exempted them in the Controlled Substances Act. The HIA, Dr. Bronner's, Nutiva and other plaintiffs went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge the illogical rules and won a victory. This ruling prohibited DEA from treating legal hemp products as controlled substances and helped the burgeoning hemp foods market to take off.
Despite this victory and the clear order from the court prohibiting DEA from enforcing the rules, DEA has continued to put out incorrect and confusing information advising the media and state officials that hemp foods are still illegal if they are intended for human consumption!
Today the HIA filed a motion with the court to ask that DEA be found in contempt for refusing the follow the courts order. You can read the filing here.
Let American Farmers Grow Hemp Once Again to Create Jobs and Rebuild the Rural Economy – Sign This Petition
Created by E.S. on January 20, 2017 – Sign This Petition
Industrial hemp was once a dominant crop on the American landscape. This hardy and renewable resource was refined for various industrial applications, including paper, textiles, and cordage. Unfortunately hemp was conflated with marijuana but hemp can't be used as a drug.
Over time, the use of industrial hemp has evolved into an even greater variety of products, including health foods, body care, clothing, auto parts, construction materials, biofuels, plastic composites and more.
Farmers in Europe, Canada and China all grow hemp and over $600 million in imported hemp products were sold in the USA in 2016. Congress has 2 bipartisan bills which would bring back hemp farming and create rural jobs. We request that President Trump work with Congress to pass hemp legislation in 2017 – Sign This PetitionSign This Petition

The Method of Economics
Following "Ricardo's Difficult Idea" and "'Deconstructing' Hostility to Economic Ideas," here's one last Krugman piece on economic models:
Why I'm an Economist, by Paul Krugman, August 1999: Writing an introductory textbook has some perhaps unexpected side effects. By forcing you to go back to basics - to explain to an audience of young people why economic theory is useful and important - it also makes you think about why you yourself went down that path. And so the other day I found myself in a reverie about the choices I myself made, all those years ago. (Was I also trying to avoid working on the task at hand? Of course). As an undergraduate, I wasn't especially interested in economics per se: I was interested in History, in understanding the fate of empires and the destiny of kings. But I settled for something far narrower. Why?
I asked myself this slightly rueful question while revising my exposition of the Ricardian model of land rent. Every economist knows it: peasants cultivate the best land first, then the next best, and so on. Competition among the landowners ensures that each peasant gets no less than what he could grow on the best uncultivated land; competition among the peasants [ensures] that he gets no more. It's a beautiful example of economic reasoning in action.
But as I was rewriting the chapter section, I had a sudden fantasy vision of a bright but cynical undergraduate declaring that this was nonsense, that the landowners would conspire to keep the peasants down. And that undergraduate would, historically, often - but not always - have been right. Indeed, my old teacher Evsey Domar wrote a classic paper arguing that serfdom and slavery often were the response of ruling classes to labor shortage. Thus Russia imposed strict restrictions on the mobility of peasants from the late 16th century onward, precisely because the availability of rich new farmland on the expanding frontier would otherwise have increased their bargaining power against landlords. (The frontier expansion itself was probably the result of the growing effectiveness of firearms, which turned the military balance against the steppe nomads; so gunpowder, which contributed to the rise of the bourgeoisie in the West, created serfdom in the East). And, of course, slavery - which, along with serfdom, had died out in the West during the labor-abundant high Middle Ages - was reintroduced in the land-abundant conditions of the New World.
On the other hand, of course, it has not always worked that way. England's peasants were not reenserfed after the Black Death drove up their wages; attempts to build a system of indentured white servitude in America failed; slavery was abolished; and in the modern world wages do more or less reflect marginal productivity.
Now suppose I were to ask the question, why does a labor shortage sometimes lead to a rise in wages, sometimes to political action by the ruling class to keep the lower orders in their place? And I won't be satisfied with a narrative about what happened in some specific case: I want a widely applicable model, like Ricardo's model of land rent. That is, I want a framework that is more than an after-the-fact rationalization of what we already know happened.
But of course there is no such model. Worse yet, not only don't I know of any such model, I don't even know how one might begin to create one. My perplexity is not, I believe, a reflection of my ignorance of political science, or sociology. Economists may make lots of bad predictions, but they do have a method - a systematic way of thinking about the world that is more true than not, that gives them genuine if imperfect expertise. (That is also, of course, why lay commentators and other social scientists tend to hate them). Other social sciences haven't yet found anything remotely equivalent. Oh, there are bits and pieces, and some of them are very exciting; try taking a look at Robert Axelrod's stuff. But basically when it comes to most of the questions that I am really interested in, one man's view is as good as another.
When I was young and naive, I used to imagine that my career as an economist could eventually branch out into one as a general social scientist. And I still love to read and think about the broader questions - a book like Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel can keep me happy as a clam for weeks. But the clarity and power of economic analysis can spoil you: once you have a taste of what it means to have a really insightful model, you tend to be inhibited about looser speculations.
The truth is that other social sciences are still waiting for their Adam Smiths. Someday they will find them; as Colin McEvedy wrote in his introduction to the Penguin Atlas of Ancient History, "History being a branch of the biological sciences, its ultimate expression must be mathematical." But for the meantime I guess that I am stuck with my day job.
If you want more, try "The Accidental Theorist," which begins:
The Accidental Theorist, by Paul Krugman: Imagine an economy that produces only two things: hot dogs and buns. Consumers in this economy insist that every hot dog come with a bun, and vice versa. And labor is the only input to production.
OK, timeout. Before we go any further, I need to ask what you think of an essay that begins this way. Does it sound silly to you? Were you about to turn the virtual page, figuring that this couldn't be about anything important?
One of the points of this column is to illustrate a paradox: You can't do serious economics unless you are willing to be playful. Economic theory is not a collection of dictums laid down by pompous authority figures. Mainly, it is a menagerie of thought experiments--parables, if you like--that are intended to capture the logic of economic processes in a simplified way. In the end, of course, ideas must be tested against the facts. But even to know what facts are relevant, you must play with those ideas in hypothetical settings. And I use the word "play" advisedly: Innovative thinkers, in economics and other disciplines, often have a pronounced whimsical streak.
It so happens that I am about to use my hot-dog-and-bun example to talk about technology, jobs, and the future of capitalism. Readers who feel that big subjects can only be properly addressed in big books--which present big ideas, using big words--will find my intellectual style offensive. Such people imagine that when they write or quote such books, they are being profound. But more often than not, they're being profoundly foolish. And the best way to avoid such foolishness is to play around with a thought experiment or two...

Coco Chanel said it the best: fashion fades, style remains the same.
The good thing about style is that it doesn't have a price tag. You don't have to wear designer clothes to have style. It's all about mastering how you wear clothes, than what you wear.
Patricia Field, world famous stylist and creator of the Carrie-style, has 2 basic style rules that say it all:
There is nothing more off-putting than clothes that are too small. Some people might mentally have a problem with buying a certain size, but clothes that are too small will never make you look good. Know your body & shape and dress to bring out your good parts and learn how to camouflage your not so nice parts.
Don't be a slave to trends, but find a style that fits your personality. You have to "wear" the clothes and not let the clothes wear you. You can easily personalise your style with unique accessories. Don't underestimate the "little things", because they can have a big impact on your overall look.
If you keep these 2 style tips in mind, then you have all the basics in house to build your personal image through fashion.

first-year SOM curriculum for these and any other students who wish to
strengthen their background in the biomedical sciences (SSPPS students
are encouraged to attend prior to their second year).
Class size is limited. If more than 45 qualified students apply,
preference will be given to students with majors outside of the
biological sciences and to students who have not been enrolled in
full-time study for a year or more.
Students admitted to the CTBS course are charged a nominal registration
fee (less than $100). They are also responsible for their own housing,
board, and other expenses.
For questions regarding CTBS course, please contact Carrie Owen (858) 534-1519.

A promising cast – and presumably some noble intentions – are completely squandered by Sean Penn is his atrociously mishandled, inadvertently hilarious and often offensive The Last Face.
When a script is so appalling that the audience takes to applauding the "best" lines ("Love isn't grabbing – it's loving", anyone?) and actually end up ironically enjoying themselves, you know you've made a film that doesn't deserve to be taken as seriously as The Last Face takes itself.
Crass, pompous and self-important to the end, the focus on the petty squabbles of the two leads amidst all the genocide leaves a bitter taste.
A cringe-inducing, self-serving mess. There's a good film in the subject matter somewhere, but Sean Penn is absolutely not the person to find it. Avoid.
CAST: Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Jean Reno, Jared Harris
DIRECTOR: Sean Penn
WRITER: Erin Dignam
SYNOPSIS: The director of an international aid agency (Theron) meets a relief aid doctor (Bardem) amidst civil unrest in Africa, and the pair must make difficult choices about their lives.
The Last Face was screened In Competition at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

Now here's a blast from the past. In a move I definitely did not anticipate (though this probably stems from my cluelessness regarding the genre), Right Stuf has acquired the license to - of all things - Rose of Versailles.
In case you were as ignorant as I was, Ryoko Ikeda's 1972 manga Rose of Versailles is one of the iconic shoujo manga of its time, and pioneered the whole "sparkly sparkly roses" motif so popular in all manner of romantic anime and manga. The story involves one Oscar, a girl raised as a boy and assigned to guard the infamous Marie Antoinette during the French revolution. You can imagine what kinds of passionate escapades could follow this destined pairing.
Right Stuf's laid claim to the 1979 40-episode anime adaptation of the series, and plans to release it to DVD in 2013. Realizing that not everyone might be hot to cough up cash for a 30-year-old show that isn't Legend of the Galactic Heroes, they also intend to stream it on their Viki anime service through the winter season. Smart move!
In the meantime, they're also inviting fans to ask author Ikeda questions. You can submit yours through November 1st here.
Are you excited? Are sparkling roses blooming in your heart and/or wallet? What questions would you have for Ikeda?

Sarkulov Aslanbek Ahmetollaevich – Deputy akim of the Syrym district
Sarsenov Erlan Zholdybayevich - District Administration Chief of Staff
2. About district:
Zhympity district (now Syrym) as administrative territorial unit on the east of West Kazakhstan region.
This region is distinguished by its rich and distinctive history. From ancient times, there have been preserved epics dedicated to the heroism of the Batyrs of our land: Koblandy batyr, Yer Targyn and Yedige, the selfless love of Kyz Zhibek and Tulegen, who became a legend on this land.
1783-1797 under the leadership of Syrym batyr in the Junior Zhuz in this region lived such historical personalities as: Baybarak batyr, Tailak batyr, Bulan bi, Esengeldi bai.
In the years 1881-1890 there was foundations of the village of Zhympity, which later became a city.
In 1884 there were built a mosque, a hospital for 25 people and a two-year school.
Built in 1880 by the Russian merchant Tarakanov, the grain processing machine mill was functioned uninterruptedly until the 1960-s.
The goods produced by such craftsmen as Doshai, Niyazgali, Azhigali, Abubakir, Zhumagul, Nurmukhan, Zhumagali, Esenbai, Bisenbai, Sharipulla, Anfisa Belkina were widely known and popular among the population right up to Orenburg.
In the early twentieth century, Zhympity turned into the largest center of the revolt. Here, the government Alashorda took placed its flag and foundation of the first Kazakh state. There was representatives of the Kazakh elite like ass: Zhahansha Dosmukhameduly, Khalel Dosmukhamedov, Salyk Omarov, Dauletshah Kussepkaliyev, Kaldybai Asanov, Sabyr Sargozin, Kuanay Kosdauletov. During these years, here were established detachments of mounted militia, was opened a school of military cadets, which cadets were trained in military affairs. Along with this, were opened a bank, telegraph and other economic organizations. The headquarters of the government of Alashorda, headed by Zhahansha Dosmukhameduly was in the house of the merchant Tarakanov.
In October 1919 the Government moved from Zhympity to Kyzylkoga. On the 19 of November same year, was established the power of the Soviets. On the 12 of October 1920 was founded the Urals province, which entered Zhympity county.

In the midst of the ongoing (and escalating) technology war between Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight, it's nice to see that foes can get together and solve common problems for the greater benefit.
It has managed James Ward and Josh Holmes to get together during JAOO in the Danish city of Aarhus (Søren, as you are reading this, are you regretful because you didn't go and instead decided to go to TechEd in Barcelona? I guess not, hugh? )
Anyways… check it out…
This might be a groundbreaking event… you should probably make a note of it.

Growing population raises problems for primary schools
New figures from the Department for Education have revealed Birmingham's rapidly growing population could lead to a shortfall of thousands of school places.
The department's latest figures show that there were 111,298 places available across the city's 300 primary schools in May last year.
While that was plenty enough to accommodate the 103,125 primary school aged children who were living in the city in the 2013/14 academic year, the Department of Education has predicted that demand is soon set to outstrip supply.
A baby boom and rise in immigration will see the number of primary school aged children rise by almost 11 per cent to 114,441 by the 2018/19 academic year.
It would mean a potential shortfall of 3,143 primary school places based on the number of places available as of May 2014.
By the 2020/21 academic year, the number of secondary school aged children will increase from 70,049 in the 2013/14 academic year to 84,784 – a rise of 21 per cent.
Birmingham City Council announced in January it was ploughing £34 million into funding more than 1,000 new school places in the city.
The cash will fund 1,170 new places at primary schools and a further 397 at special schools, which will be available from this September.

Micro-pigmentation Is The Solution
The definitive eyebrow or micro-pigmentation is a filling method that is successful not only by correcting glitches, but also by the natural appearance it offers the wires, especially when we talk about the wire-to-wire method. However, before you undergo this procedure you need to be aware of some details that seem simple, but they are fundamental for the result to be satisfactory.
How is micropigmentation done?
The technique is performed by the apparatus having a needle at its end. Through it happens the application of antiallergic pigment based on glycerin in the skin. Do not panic!! At first, the color may become darker, but this is alleviated by peeling of the dermis – which occurs a few days after the session. After that, you need to do a retouch to correct any glitches. The FINAL result, with the ideal coloration, appears after approximately one month!
Who can do it?
The technique is great for anyone who has flaws, scars or little or no hair in the region. The ideal is to do it with a specialized professional, who must measure the face to define the most suitable format for each person. Just like a tattoo, the person can see the design on the face before the needle comes into action, to approve it or require changes. Although it is a relatively simple procedure, it is not indicated for those who have uncontrolled diabetes and for people who use pacemakers.

The camera roll on your device uploads to OneDrive, rather than syncing. That means you can delete uploaded photos and videos from your device, and the copies in OneDrive won't be affected.

That's right, we moved! My wordpress blog is now my main site. A few months ago I added a lot of the main content from the old site to this site, accessible by the menus at the top.
Want info on Date Ariane? click the button at the top. Links to download are there, as well as the international versions, and my other games.
You can leave comments on any of the pages, something you couldn't do before, and this site is more secure than my old site. Also as a WordPress site, there is a mobile version of this site now.
The old site is still available for now at http://virtualunderworld.net/arianeb/. Once I move everything over here, I will probably drop that site (this one is cheaper).
I'm sure there are plenty of broken links to fix. Tell me what you think.

Happy birthday Harry! Harrison Birtwistle is 80 today. To celebrate yet another milestone in this essential composer's transition from enfant terrible to rather older enfant terrible who is still capable, brilliantly, of offending, surprising and shocking the establishment of which he is a magnificently grudging part, I want to introduce you, through the magic of 't internet, to a birthday bouquet of Birtwistlean delights, music that will thrill you, that may confound you, but which definitely introduce you to a musical force of nature that has the power to reshape how you hear and think about the world around you – and its music.
Let's start with Panic, the piece that caused so much of a – well, panic when it was first performed at the Last Night of the Proms in 1995. It's a piece that pins you to the back of your seat, and which sears your brain and being with a boundless, uncompromising, pagan energy, with its scoring for orchestra, drum kit, and saxophone.
Another work for soloist and orchestra, but from the other end of the expressive and mythic spectrum: the dark, soulful song of The Cry of Anubis for tuba and orchestra, which casts the tuba as the jackal-headed god of Egyptian mythology, leading souls into the afterlife.
And then there's the strange, joyful play of Secret Theatre for large chamber ensemble; music which embodies Birtwistle's fascination with the way instruments become dramatic characters in an ever-changing structure of jump-cuts and superimpositions, music that again brims with an energy that's both modernist and primeval.
Harry's Earth Dances is the single orchestral piece that I would recommend to propel you into his soundworld of geologico-musical intensity. Somehow, he turns the musical strata of his orchestra not just into metaphors for implacable tectonic forces; instead this music seems to plunge you into the very fabric of the earth's fundamental energies.
But in his Violin Concerto, Birtwistle finds another way of conceiving what the orchestra can do: both soloist and orchestra create a sinewy melodic texture that connects the whole piece, which is somehow both coherent and clear in the way the music moves from moment to moment, yet scintillatingly unpredictable and mysterious in the large-scale shapes it creates.

If you dare taking your business to the next level, there's always a place for a customized solution or two. Yes, Magento is widely known for its flexibility, but it has a quite complex code inside. Are you familiar with Magento architecture? If the answer is positive, you can customize your store by yourself without hiring a developer. But what happens if you don't?

Land of Fjords and Chjevys.
Sweden is a beautiful country with lots of blond haired people with blue eyes and lots of Dumbasses.
For instance, a pilot for the Scandinavian Airlines System Group was piloting an aircraft bound for
|Swedish Airlines Cockpit
Fortunately the plane was on Auto-pilot while the tinkling and the napping were going on and the aircraft eventually landed safely in Stockholm.
As they say on those stupid TV commercials when you buy something valued at $300 for only $19.99 plus shipping and handling, But, wait! There's more!
The pilot going to sleep at the controls of a jet airliner full of passengers was duly reported to the Aviation authorities in Sweden, who reacted with a resounding yawn. They decided not to to punish the pilot for this travesty by saying (I ain't making this up) that he (the pilot) was tired because he only got four hours of sleep the night before.
What. The. Hell?
At this point I usually point out what a load of Dumbasses run the Swedish airline industry, which they are and they do. How can these people sleep at night? Fucking pasty skinned pussies. This event goes beyond dumbassery and wanders into negligence of the worst possible kind. Do these Dumbasses not understand that hundreds of innocent people could have died because pilot had a rough night's sleep the night before?
I've got something to say about that, "Tpowgn lof uszpi jf;paaqfjffv!" Translated from Swedish that means , "Fuck you and the reindeer you rode in on you piece of Scandi dog shit."
And one more thing, "Ou;w gdszghh" which means....Dumbasses.

can't followers insert gifs in the comments?
I want the followers of my blog can insert animated gifs in the comments of my post.
I can insert animated gifs in the comments in my blog, but they can not. How can they do it?
The blog I need help with is mabelmonteszaporta.wordpress.com.
Hi there,
unless the .gifs must be presized sized to be thumbnails or they will expand and blow up the comment box. More to the point these .gifs have to be hosted somewhere on;line to be displayed in the comments. Bloggers can submit the URLs to hosted .gifs that are thumbnail size and you can moderate and approve the comments. If that were not the case and anyone could post anything they wanted and your blog would be full of porno, spam, and all kinds of make money online bullshit and other spam. See here also for comment embeds http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/embeds/
Thanks so much for the reply. Sorry if I do not quite understand because my English is basic.
I have stayed in my blog a gif, but when my follower write the url of that gif, I see only the link, not the image.
That means the .gif is not hosted on a web server somewhere online and until it is it will not display in the comments.
Only the blog admins and editors can embed an image in the blog comments, as far as I am aware. Regular commenters can embed a YouTube, but not an image file.
Thank you very much raincoaster
I've been trying for hours, you just release me.
Although I do not understand the logic that followers can not insert images, but they can insert videos and twits…
I hope WordPress add this option in future updates.
Thank you both :D
All images have to be hosted somewhere online or they cannot be displayed. If people could instantly embed images in comments and somehow have the images upload to my Media Library they would be sucking my free image storage space.
timethief, I have my images hosted on a site online ( https://picasaweb.google.com/103816830706145841086/ScrapbookPhotos ) and still can not embed them in the comments if I do as a follower
You have been able to insert images in the comments as a follower?
because if is possible I continue trying
Is possible to need a plugins in the blog for authorize images?
You have been able to insert images in the comments as a follower?
As raincoaster told you above that answer is no. I do apologize for not stating this clearly. No. Your commenters cannot insert any images into comments at all. they can only provide URLs and that's it.
Is possible to need a plugins in the blog for authorize images?
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
Ok: (
Excuse me, I understood you were trying to tell me otherwise, I am not able to understand english perfectly.
Thank you very much :)
Best wishes to you.
The kind of site you want costs tens of thousands of dollars, generally speaking. ICanHasCheezburger pays $30,000 or so every year for hosting, because of the security risks of allowing anyone to upload potentially virus-laden image files.
…or even HTML

- A harbourside haven made for hanging out and kicking back in serene northern Ibiza
- We love...
- savouring the Japanese, Peruvian and Mediterranean fusion cuisine to the backdrop of the lapping waves.
Seemingly a million miles from San Antonio's party scene and surreptitiously tucked away beside the transparent waters of Portinatx harbour, this adults-only, nine-bedroomed boho retreat feels more Moroccan Kasbah than Ibizan hideaway.
Los Enamorados resides at the northernmost tip of the island, just a few minutes' walk from Portinatx beach and fishing village. Inside, it's an artistic and joyful expression of the owners' penchant for eccentricity and originality. It wonderfully reflects the dynamic personalities of husband and wife team, a French ex-basketball player and Dutch fashion editor respectively.
And almost everything on display is for sale, from the plush chaise-longue in your room to the handcrafted wooden table in the lobby. Not to mention the kaleidoscopic collection of jewellery, glasses, hats, clothes, bags, slippers, crockery, glassware and dolls in the hotel's store. Numerous hippy markets are also on the doorstep including San Juan's Sunday market, which transforms into a hub of live music after mass.
On Monday nights Los Enamorados hosts shows of its own such as African drum performances, and once a month it projects films onto an open-air cinema screen. Popular activities in the vicinity include fishing, horse riding and water sports such as snorkelling and scuba diving. Free kayaks, floaties and sup boards are available. Yoga classes take place on the roof terrace while massages are held next to the sea.
Los Enamorados' all-day, alfresco restaurant/ bar also faces the water and is the perfect vantage point to watch Ibiza's famed sunsets while feasting on fusion dishes (Japanese/Peruvian/Mediterranean) packed with local flavour and catch of the day caught by local fishermen.

This is an unbelievable news of sad and startling to us.
We don't want to believe it!
Personally, I prefer to believe that he just changes his face again and continues his new life.
Anyhow, a great superstar will never die.
He will exist forever with his faith by his followers.
This page, originally, is set up for MJ's coming back for his new pop generation.
Now, I hope this page will be a web of passing down all of MJ's faith during his lifetime.
He always wants to achieve "We are the world," peace, saving the Earth, elephants, refugees, anti-wars, stop starving, childhood and kids.
This is NOT a foundation! There is never charge for anyone.
This is NOT a page of wallowing in the mire with news.
This page will NEVER be disused because of no net pals, lonesome or any reasons.
This is a page for lasting Michael Jackson's spirit and faiths perpetually!
I make my promise here:
I swear I will sustain this web wholeheartedly in my whole life, and the web will committed to someone who can be trusted.
Today is the first day of the web coming into existence, and the only thing we got is a mere influence so far.
Please leave any comments or suggestions here, or please tell us anyone who can do anything for this web. And we're all for our beloved, MJ.
Leave any messages in any pages, and we will contact with you ASAP.
Or you can mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you very much, all of you.
I believe… All we did, MJ will see.
We will try our best in our lives and "keep the faith" forever…
Because… "WE ARE THE WORLD!"
Forever adherent,
Frank L.K. Wang

Bandwidth-limited Pulses
Definition: pulses with a duration as short as possible with their optical spectrum
Alternative term: transform-limited pulses
German: bandbreitebegrenzte Pulse
How to cite the article; suggest additional literature
Author: Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta
A bandwidth-limited light pulse (or transform-limited pulse) is a pulse which is as short as its spectral bandwidth permits. In other words, its time–bandwidth product is as small as possible for a given temporal or spectral shape For example, the minimum time–bandwidth product of sech2-shaped pulses is 0.315, which implies that bandwidth-limited sech2 pulses with a duration of 100 fs must have a bandwidth of 3.15 THz.
A slightly different definition for a bandwidth-limited pulse is that its peak power is as high as the optical bandwidth allows (for a given pulse energy). This is equivalent to the pulse having a flat spectral phase, but does not always precisely lead to the shortest possible pulse duration in terms of full width at half maximum.
If an initially transform-limited pulse propagates through a medium, its time–bandwidth product can increase due to the influences of chromatic dispersion or nonlinearities. For example, the influence of dispersion can temporally stretch the pulse while leaving its spectral width constant. This is associated with a chirp. This chirp can later be removed by dispersive pulse compression, restoring the original pulse duration.
Many mode-locked lasers, particularly soliton mode-locked solid-state lasers, but also some mode-locked diode lasers, can generate nearly bandwidth-limited pulses. This feature is very desirable e.g. in optical fiber communications, as it minimizes dispersive temporal broadening.

I posted a forum topic recently asking about the best way to attach some veneer to a project I am planning and one of the recommendations was to use hot hide glue (HHG). I've seen posts before from fellow LJs about how much they like using HHG and have been meaning to to give it a try so I decided this was a good excuse. I will share my journey in this blog.
Step 1: Research.
I spent a couple of days understanding the history, uses, pros and cons, tools and techniques. Of course fellow Lumberjock and resident HHG evangalist Shiprwright's blog series Hide Glue for Beginners is a great place to start for anyone interested in trying HHG. Shipwright also has several posts, projects and reviews related to HHG including improvising the tools on the cheap and the tips he provided in my forum post about veneer mentioned above helped convince me that this was the time to at least give HHG a try.
Step 2: Get the tools and materials.
A: The glue pot. You are going to need a way to "cook" and maintain the temperature of the glue once you mix up a batch. You need a heat source and a pot, preferably one that works like a double boiler where the container that holds the glue actually sits in water that is heated. The modern pots are expensive so cheaper alternatives for just trying it out are a small slow cooker, a coffee pot or an antique glue pot on a burner. Lee Valley also has a small antique style pot and warmer that is pretty reasonably priced. I found an antique glue pot for about $25 on eBay and it looked so cool that I decided I wanted it regardless of whether I use it.
Note that the pot is welded to an antique electric warmer that was built before UL listing and was too dangerous to use. Not sure how they used this thing without electrocuting themselves. I will have to grind off the welds to use this pot.
For my first few attempts, while I am cleaning the rust out of the the antique one (the outside discoloration is old glue), I am using a small slow cooker for the hot water bath and an empty plastic spice bottle to mix and heat the glue in. I also ordered a hot plate from Amazon for $10 that I hope will work with my antique pot once I have it cleaned up. Because the glue needs to be maintained between 140 and 160 degrees I also ordered a meat thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature.
B: Glue brush. I have some cheap disposable acid brushes that I will use for the first test (below) but I also found a brush intended for gluing book bindings that I hope will work well when I finally get to the veneer project.
C: The Glue. My local Woodcraft was having a 10% off almost everything in the store sale so I picked up some BT&G 192 gram flakes.
D: Veneer Hammer. The Kunz hammer is about $60 retail but I bid on and won a practically new one on eBay for $30 including shipping. There are plenty of shop built examples and workarounds on LJ that were my backup plan.
Step3: Mix Up a Batch of Glue
I primed a small slow cooker with some boiling water and plugged it in. I didn't want to waste a bunch of glue so I put about 3 heaping teaspoons of flakes into an old spice bottle and covered the flakes with tap water. I let it sit for a while to absorb the water, used a stick to make sure that the flakes at the bottom were saturated, sealed the bottle and put into the hot water. The slow cooker was having trouble maintaining the minimum 140 temperature so I added some more boiling water to bring the temperature up to about 150 and let it cook for almost an hour before it reached what I thought was the right consistency. I think that I got lucky because once it finally got hot enough, the consistency was like a fairly thick maple syrup.
Step4: Ready to Slap it on Some Wood
I had a couple of small scraps of plywood laying around for my first try. Since I ultimately want to try this with veneer I also found some thin scraps, though they are thicker than typical veneer and pretty small. I put a dab on one end of the plywood and pinched the 2 pieces together by hand for about 2 minutes for a basic 90 degree lap joint. It moved around a little and I didn't really try to make it square or anything so I can see that I will have to be careful that the pieces don't move around while waiting for the glue to set. I set it down when the squeeze out (I used way too much glue I think) started to gel. After about 5 minutes I smeared glue on one whole side of one PW scraps and presses 2 small thin strips to the surface, again by hand, until I got no more squeeze out. It was very easy to move them around to line them up. After finishing up, I let the spice bottle of glue cool off and put it in the mini fridge I have in the shop (right next to the IPA).
Step 5: Test the joint.
About 2 hours later, I decide to see how good the joints were. I couldn't break it by hand so I clamped it into a vice and whacked the heck out of it with a hammer. It didn't budge. After just 2 hours, this joint seems to be every bit as strong as a PVA joint that has cured for 24 hours. Very impressive.
Step 6: Clean Some of the Squeeze Out
I didn't bother to clean off any of the glue before it set so I had some pretty big globs of glue on the scraps. I used a warm, wet paper towel to remove some of the excess glue just to see how easy that is. I was able to get all of the glue off the surface of the 2 strips. The areas where I left some significant squeeze out and where I left a thick coat on the surface were not as easy but I could have eventually removed it all by spending a little more time. I tried using a chisel to cut some of the thicker squeeze out off but the glue was pretty hard and that didn't work as well as I thought it would. Next time I will at least wipe the squeeze out off before it completely sets so that the remaining glue is a just a thin film and that should make it easy to wipe off with a warm wet cloth.
I can see why so many people love HHG. For small or quick glue up, it will be much easier to just reach for a bottle of PVA rather than mixing and heating up a batch of glue but for a large glue up with complex or tight fitting joinery, I can see that this could make those easier. Since my garage shop gets cold in the winter, even though I have a couple of heaters out there, it may require some extra steps to make sure that the wood is warm enough that the glue doesn't set before the parts are in place. But that will be a future experiment. I am sold that this will become a useful option going forward.
-- Nathan, TX -- Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.
