Your first stop should be at the Mon Repos Turtle Centre. Find out all there is to know about the marine turtles and the park and, if it's turtle season, book yourself in to join the Park Rangers on a night-time Turtle Encounter tour. You'll in the box seat when it comes to seeing this magical and ancient circle of life.
The park is not just about turtles! Flanked by the golden beaches and the waters of the Great Sandy Marine Park, you can explore the coastal reaches of the park along one of the many tracks. Cycle or walk along the Turtle trail—it's part of a longer track that joins the park with nearby coastal towns. Grab the family and see how many species of birds you can spot on the Ponds boardwalk.
Immerse yourself in the park's rich and varied history. Learn about Bert Hinkler's first glider flights and see an historic stone wall built by South Sea Islanders on the Mon Repos Coastal track. Dip your toes in the creek on your way to the remains of WWII bunkers on the Cable House Creek circuit.

The S&P 500 is a mere 10 points away from a 30% plunge, says Saxo Bank's chief economist Steen Jakobsen.
He expects equities will peak at around 1,900-1,950 before that big plunge kicks in. Given that the S&P 500 is hovering around 1,890, that selloff looks like it's just around the corner. Instead, it could be a long, slow meltdown.
"We're not looking at this correction for next month or for the next two quarters, this is for late 2014. If you're looking at it right now, the market may have an upside of 5%, but then you're looking at a 30% downside in the final month of 2014," he says.
Plenty have been predicting that things look bumpier this year. Analysts at Societe Generale predicted a day ago that the era of low volatility was drawing to a close based on hedge-fund activity.
And if investors only have the potential of around 5% upside from here, Jakobsen says it may be worth backing out of equities starting now. "Take out the money you earned over the last year and if you want to invest it right now, put it in U.S. and German bonds," he says.
A fresh survey from the American Association of Individual Investors says the biggest chunk of change was allocated to equities in March since June 2007, up 0.3 percentage point in March to 67.2%. That's the third biggest allocation to equities since July 2007, trailing only two other instances -- 68.1% in September 2007 and 68.3% in December 2013. Bond and bond fund allocation fell 0.5 percentage point to 15.7%.
Jakobsen says equities, unlike other asset classes, haven't had a proper correction since the first round of quantitative easing began back in 2008.
"The first phase [of the correction] was commodities, which rose, then fell back. The second phase was fixed income, which rose then fell back again...now we come to equities. Since QE was launched, equities have kept rising," he says. "For this saga to play out fully, I think we need it to go into equities. That will happen on a lack of earnings growth.
Statistically speaking, he says markets have had a correction of 10% almost every year, and 25% to 30% every five years. "And the world came into this year extremely optimistic about future growth," he says. (Also check out Jakobsen's interview on CNBC).
Similar thoughts were heard from Morgan Housel, columnist for the Motley Fool earlier this week, who explained why markets will always crash.(h/t Need to Know)
"Markets crash all the time. You should, at minimum, expect stocks to fall at least 10% once a year, 20% once every few years, 30% or more once or twice a decade, and 50% or more once or twice during your lifetime. Those who don't understand this will eventually learn it the hard way," he says.

Father: (Christian view) God through virginal conception; (Islamic view) virginal conception; Mother: Mary;
Jesus of Nazareth (c. 5 BC/BCE – c. 30 AD/CE), commonly referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Jesus, is the central figure of Christianity. Most Christian denominations venerate him as God the Son incarnated and believe that he rose from the dead after being crucified.
The principal sources of information regarding Jesus are the four canonical gospels, and most critical scholars find them, at least the Synoptic Gospels, useful for reconstructing Jesus' life and teachings. Some scholars believe apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews are also relevant.

feather(redirected from as light as a feather)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Idioms, Encyclopedia.
Related to as light as a feather: stiff as a board
1. One of the light, flat growths forming the plumage of birds, consisting of numerous slender, closely arranged parallel barbs forming a vane on either side of a horny, tapering, partly hollow shaft.
2. A feathery tuft or fringe of hair, as on the legs or tail of some dogs.
To grow feathers or become feathered.
featherany of the flat light waterproof epidermal structures forming the plumage of birds, several types of which form the body covering of birds. The principal types of feather are remex (wing feather); rectrice (tail feather); CONTOUR FEATHER (covering the outside of the bird); DOWN (the soft covering to the body); filoplume (hairlike feathers bearing a few barbs at the apex, occurring between the contour feathers). Feathers consist of a central RACHIS that supports BARBS which, except in down feathers, are connected to form a lamella by means of BARBULES. Feathers are now also known to have occurred in some Theropod DINOSAURS (Coelurosaurs) which have recently been excavated in China, and even Tyrannosaurus may have possessed feathers at some stage in its life cycle.
1. skin appendages of all birds. Comprise a central shaft with a flat vane on either side. The shaft consists of the calamus, embedded in the feather follicle, and the rachis which is outside the follicle. The calamus has an opening at each end, the superior and inferior umbilicus. The inferior umbilicus contains the dermal papilla which produces the pulp which continues up the interior of the calamus to end at and pass out through the superior umbilicus. Each feather has two parts, the mainfeather and a small afterfeather which is attached at the superior umbilicus. Barbs and barbules form the bulk of the vane.
Contour feathers are large feathers that give the bird its shape. Down feathers are very small feathers. Semiplume feathers are intermediate in size between contour and down. Filoplume feathers are hairlike and remain after other feathers are plucked. They have only one small tuft of barbs. Specialized additional feathers include auricular feathers, around the ear lobes, oil gland feathers, at the oil gland on the tail, bristle feathers on the eyelids and powder feathers in aquatic birds. Remiges are the large flight feathers of the wing and rectrices the very long contour feathers coming from the side of the tail. These are the longest feathers of all in the domestic fowl.
The feather coat consists of feather tracts (see below) or pterylae that are well defined and carry contour feathers and semiplumes. They are separated by unfeathered tracts called apteria. The distribution of special feathers of particular colors in particular pterylae is what gives the breeds their distinctive appearance. The feather coat is divided up into regions that include hackle, cape, cushion, saddle, wing bars, wing fronts and wing bows.
2. long hairs on the fetlocks of draft breeds of horses and in dogs, on the ventral body, caudal aspect of the legs, and ventral tail of spaniels and setters.
3. hair-streams that produce feather-like marks, in the haircoat of an animal.
feather clipping
clipping the flight feathers with tin shears will prevent flight for several months.
feather coat
the total feather covering of a bird. Called also ptilosis.
contour feather
the externally visible feathers which determine the bird's silhouette and the contours of the wings, body and tail.
feather cushion

feather cysts
contain unerupted feathers and keratinous debris that may form large cutaneous lumps.
feather disease
an idiopathic disease of all varieties of cockatoos, lovebirds and budgerigars as young birds and characterized by a chronic, progressive, symmetrical loss of feathers, elongation of toenails and upper beak, which later becomes necrotic and sloughs off. Called also psittacine beak and feather syndrome.
filoplume feather
hairlike feathers, commonest on neck, head.
flight feather
the strong feathers on the wings and tail of birds used in flight. Called also remiges (plural), remex (singular).
feather follicle
a small tubular invagination of the skin with a fleshy dermal papilla at the bottom from which the feather grows. The papilla is inserted in the opening at the end of the quill.
feather mites
mites that live on and in feathers, often in enormous numbers but have little pathogenicity. Include the genera of Analges and Megninia of the family Analgesidae and the genus Dermoglyphus of the family Dermoglyphidae. Other miscellaneous genera are Syringophilus, Falculifer, Freyana, Pterolichus, Pteronyssus.
feather muscles
similar to erector pili muscles of mammals; attached to the sides of the follicle; capable of elevating or lowering entire groups of feathers.
feather picking
a vice thought to be due to insecurity and manifested by the bird pecking off its own feathers. If blood is drawn cannibalism may develop.
primary feather
flight feathers on the wings of birds.
psittacine beak and feather disease

Patient discussion about feather
Q. can you be allergic to goose feathers?? do you get an allergic reaction even through the pillow cover??? If not- I don't know what it is but something in my bed is giving me a rash...
A. i had a similar problem. i just couldn't sleep in my bed and every day i changed one thing to see what is the cause. then i found that one of the pillows causes it and probably from dust mites. you can easily be allergic to goose feathers that can pass through the pillow cover. all you have to do is replace it and see if something changed.More discussions about feather

Bill Murray wouldn't be my first thought for an actor to play President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he may have been the right choice for "Hyde Park on Hudson." The role requires him to show Roosevelt as a sometimes lonely and sad man whose vacation getaway is his mother's family mansion, Springwood, near Hyde Park in upstate New York.
We're accustomed to thinking of Roosevelt as a powerful man, elected four times to the presidency, and the leader of the free world in World War II. Here we see him as the captive of a female-dominated private life, where his mother (Elizabeth Wilson); his wife, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), and his secretary, Missy (Elizabeth Marvel), pretty much run things. To this domain in the summer of 1939, he invites a sixth cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley (Laura Linney), for a visit, and craftily begins a sweet romance with her under the eyes of the others, who understand much and accept much.
Murray makes a number of good choices for the character. He's smaller and thinner than Roosevelt, but wears his summer hat at a jaunty angle, keeps his cigarette holder tilted high, and has quiet humor in his speech. It was well but not widely known that Roosevelt was a polio victim, who had the cooperation of the press corps in never photographing him in his wheelchair. His convertible is modified to be driven with hands only, and he makes full use of this freedom of mobility to take fragrant Cousin Daisy for drives around the estate, where he leaves the Secret Service behind, treats her to views of his favorite landscapes, and seduces her to, as we might say, pleasure him.
To this bucolic retreat in June 1939, he receives guests whose visit could change the course of world history. England's King George V (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) make a detour from their state visit to Canada, hoping to get Roosevelt's pledge to join in the war against Hitler. This is officially a "social visit," and actually their crucial meeting with each other takes place late at night when George curses his stammer and Franklin curses his polio. Standing up with great difficulty and making his way by holding onto his desk, FDR explains that the public has little idea of his paralysis and gives a bracing talk to "Bertie."
Daisy isn't present, of course, although the whole film is presented as her point of view (after her death at 100 in 1991, the story of her fling with Roosevelt was found in a case containing her letters and journals). As Daisy, Laura Linney plays a 50-ish single woman with great sympathy and affection for her distant cousin. Roosevelt uses her as a confidant, in their first meeting proudly showing her his stamp collection, maybe as a test; later, he confides that when he's besieged by bores, they can usually be depended upon to drift away when his stamp albums come out.
This isn't a serious historical film. It plays different instruments than Spielberg's "Lincoln." Murray, who has a wider range than we sometimes realize, finds the human core of this FDR and presents it tenderly. Much of the film is a comedy, including a "typical American picnic" at which the royals are served something called a "hot dog." Elizabeth is not thrilled, but Bertie digs in gamely. Eventually, America joined in the war against Hitler. Daisy was there.

Natural Areas and Rangelands
Native pollinators clearly help with crop pollination, yet many agricultural areas lack the habitat necessary to support native pollinators. Proximity to natural or semi-natural land is often an important predictor of pollinator diversity in cropland. For agricultural areas that have lost native pollinators due to habitat modification or pesticide treatments, adjacent natural areas provide two valuable benefits. First, they are a source of pollinators for crop pollination. Second, they act as refugia for pollinators that can recolonize degraded agricultural areas.
Pollinator Habitat Management
Management tools, such as grazing, fire, and mowing, can be used in a manner that benefits pollinators. The use of insecticides and herbicides can be harmful to pollinators; if they must be used, there are a few considerations to minimize their impact on pollinators. Read through below for more information and resources.
Consider timing, duration and intensity
A diverse pollinator population requires adequate nectar and pollen sources from early spring to early fall, which makes seasonal timing a key consideration for an effective grazing plan. Management should be adjusted to maintain the majority of the floral resources throughout the seasons. Also, grazing should be avoided when butterfly larvae or adults are active, as it can result in direct mortality. Grazing periods should be short to allow for adequate recovery of the habitat. Herd sizes should be moderate to light.
Consider scale and refugia
While prescribed burning has a role to play in long-term maintenance of pollinator habitat, it can also have catastrophic impacts on pollinators. To minimize negative impacts, a single fire should not burn an entire area of pollinator habitat. Ideally, a program of rotational burning in which small sections—30 percent of a site or less—are burned every few years will ensure adequate colonization potential and refugia for insects.
Consider technique, timing and scale
Mowing can cause direct insect mortality, especially for egg or larval stages that can't avoid a mower. Ideally, mowing should occur in the fall or winter when flowers have died or are dormant. Mowing a mosaic of patches over several years is better than mowing an entire site all at once; no single area should be moved more than once a year.
Consider application method and active ingredients
While herbicides can be an important management tool, broadcast applications of non-selective herbicides can reduce important floral resources. To avoid herbicide damage to nontarget plants and associated pollinators, avoid broadcast spraying or pellet dispersal, which may kill large numbers of larval hostplants or adult forage plants. Instead, spot treat with a backpack sprayer, allowing for selective control.
Consider application method, product formulation, and timing
Insecticides used on forests, rangelands and farms can severely impact pollinator populations. In situations where insecticides must be used, it is best to avoid spraying when flowers are in bloom. Choose less harmful formulations—in general dusts and microencapsulated insecticides are the most dangerous formulations for bees, and aerial spraying is the most harmful method of application. Sprayed solutions and large granules tend to be less harmful to pollinators. Pay attention to the potential presence of butterfly hostplants in the management area and avoid spraying them.
Oregon State University, Washington State University and the University of Idaho Extension have developed a comprehensive guide, available as a pdf: How to Reduce Bee Poisoning from Pesticides.
Natural Area Guidelines
This primer provides a summary of how land and wildlife managers can account for the habitat needs of pollinators. This 8-page booklet provides a series of recommendations for land managers on how tools such as fire, grazing, mowing, herbicides, and insecticides can be adjusted to benefit pollinators.

For a week last fall, Dylan worked long hours while a film crew came & taped at the advertising firm where he works for the new reality show The Pitch. Tonight their episode aired on AMC. We, of course, had it marked on the calender & watched to see any sightings of Dylan. It was weird to see my husband & his work in some of the shots. Just strange, but good marketing for the firm, I suppose.
And, yes, that is our TV. We've had it since we got married almost 12 years ago. Don't be jealous of how

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Gold prices ended slightly higher on Friday but swung to a weekly loss of nearly $100, fueled by a potential slowing of the Federal Reserve's bond purchases later this year.
Gold for August delivery US:GCQ3 gained $5.80, or 0.5%, to $1,292.10 an ounce, but posted a weekly loss of $95.60.
Yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note US:10_YEAR pushed above 2.5% briefly on Friday and U.S. stocks fluctuated in choppy trading.
The slight rise on Friday was a consequence of buying from bargain hunters, said Vedant Mimani, lead portfolio manager of Atyant Capital's Global Opportunities Fund.
Still, gains were subdued because of continued selling, he said. "It's been sold pretty hard during the last two days," said Mimani. "Now everyone is just waiting."
The contract had plunged more than 6% during Thursday's floor trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as investors continued to price in the Fed's possible trimming of its monetary stimulus later this year. The Fed currently buys $85 billion in mortgage and Treasury debt each month as part of its efforts to spur the economy.
After settling Nymex trade at $1,286.20 an ounce, which was the lowest close since September 2010, August gold took further damage on news that exchange operator CME Group Inc. CME, +0.09% was hiking margin requirements.
The CME, which owns the Nymex's metals-trading Comex division, said following Thursday's close that it would hike initial and maintenance margins for gold by 25%, according to reports.
The increase means speculative traders must have $8,800 to open a 100-troy-ounce position, up from $7,040, and keep $8,000 to hold the contract overnight, up from $6,400, Dow Jones Newswires said.
The new margins would come into effect after Friday's close, CME said.
The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.26% rose to 82.317 in late Friday trade. A stronger U.S. currency tends to weigh on gold and other dollar-denominated commodities, as it makes them more expensive for holders of euros, yen and other units. The relationship between the dollar and gold futures isn't set in stone and tends to be stronger on days with big moves, said Mimani.
The dollar had rallied since the Federal Reserve's statement late Wednesday, signaling it could slow its asset purchases this year if the economy improves further.
The price action is a recouping of prior-day losses rather than a result of news, said Carlos Sanchez, director of asset management at CPM Group.
He noted that options will expire next week, which should increase volatility as the July contract will become deliverable at the end of June. As a consequence, "you may see some more activity in the silver market as opposed to the gold market toward the end of next week," said Sanchez.
The July contract for silver SIN23, +1.22% ended up by 14 cents, or 0.7%, to $19.96 an ounce, after dropping $1.80 on Thursday.
Elsewhere in the metals complex, copper for July delivery HGN23, +0.00% settled at $3.10 a pound, up 4 cents or 1.3%, while September palladium US:PAU3 rose $9.65, or 1.5%, to end at $674.75 an ounce.
July platinum US:PLN3 gained $5.70, or 0.4%, to end at $1,369.50 an ounce, after losing more than $60 in Thursday's Nymex action.

I'm Sarah from Sweet Dreams by Sarah, and I am incredibly excited to be sharing my first Moda Bake Shop tutorial with you for this fun steering wheel cover! I live in the insanely hot Arizona desert, and there are frequently times in the summer when it's impossible to grab the steering wheel.
This cover serves to help keep that problem at bay, as well as making it much easier for those winter months when clutching a freezing cold steering wheel can make your hands ache. It's also completely customizable, since it's perfect for any set of charms you might have lying around! It makes a lovely gift, too.
Please also stop by my blog for other tutorials and adventures in quilting!
10 Charms of your choosing (I used Flirt by Sandy Gervais for Moda)
1 piece of backing fabric measuring approx. 48″ by 5″
1 piece of Insul Bright Heat Resistant Batting measuring approx. 46″ by 3.5″ (Side note: if you aren't worried about your steering wheel being too hot, and you just want it to be padded, you could use regular cotton batting in place of the Insul Bright)
2 lengths of elastic, measuring approx. 32″
4 safety pins, no bigger than about 1″ long.
Optional, but helpful: Basting spray
The first step is to measure your steering wheel! The measurements that I will be working with are for my 14.5″ steering wheel, which is a pretty standard size. If your wheel is a different size, your first step is going to be to measure around the circumference of the outside of the wheel. For me, this measurement is 46″, and it will be come the length that you will need both the piece of backing fabric to be as well as the piece of batting. Also, take this measurement and subtract 14″ – this is the length that you will need your lengths of elastic to be. If your wheel measures more than 46″ around, you may also need to add one more charm to the first step below – see the note in that step for help with the modification.
Now that we know what we're working with, it's time to dive into the fabric. Pull out your charms, and line them up. Arrange them in the order in which you want to see them going around your wheel, and remember that this is going to be a circle – the first and last ones are going to connect to each other.
Sew the charms end to end with a scant quarter inch seam, and press the seams to one side until you have one long strip:
*Side note for larger sizes: You'll want to sew extra charms end to end here, so that you have a longer strip of fabric to work with. For instance, upping it to 11 charms yields a strip about 50″ long. You can then trim it down if, say, your circumference is only 48″. Just be careful not to trim it too short – the elastic makes having a slightly bigger wheel cover very forgiving.
Prepare your backing fabric next! There are lots of options as to how to do this. You could actually use another 10 charms, if you want it to be reversible (see side note above if you have a larger steering wheel). Just follow the steps above to connect them all together. You could also cut two 5″ strips from yardage, sew them together end to end, and then cut down to length. The first time I made this, I actually used a scrap piece of quilt backing that I had trimmed off of a quilt I'd made just the week before, so feel free to be creative! This is just the backing, so if you aren't worried about making it reversible, you can use just about any piece of fabric that meets the measurements. For this particular cover, I used one 5″ strip of backing fabric, and sewed one extra charm to the end to get the right length. Note that the length of the backing is a couple of inches longer than the strip of charms – this gives you a little wiggle room to cover up the final seam.
|The strip of charms for the outside is on the left, and the backing is on the right.
Putting it all together:
Position your backing fabric and the strip of charms right sides together, and making sure that the edges are aligned. Pin these pieces, and then sew them together lengthwise:
Now we need to turn the long tube we just created inside out, and get the batting in the middle. There are a couple of ways that you can do this. One option is to turn it inside out, press it flat, and then try to wiggle the batting up the middle. You would then just pin the batting in place before moving on to the next step.
The other way to do it, and how I did it when making this particular cover, is to use some basting spray as a helping hand. Once you've sewn the cover and backing together, and before you turn it inside out, spray baste the batting to the charm side of the strip, like this:
Spray the batting, and lay it down the center (you can just eyeball it). Make sure you press the batting on well, and then go ahead and turn it inside out. Be gentle so that you don't separate the batting from the fabric.
|Ta da!
Once it's inside out, go ahead and press the tube and batting combo so that it's all nice and flat.
Now, whichever way you've gotten your tube inside out and batting inside, it's time to make the casings for the elastic. Sew down the length of the tube again, this time about 1/2 inch from the already sewn edge.
You can go ahead and remove all of those pins now (if you were using them), and grab your lengths of elastic. Use one safety pin to attach one end of the elastic to one end of the tube. Take the other safety pin and attach to the other end of the elastic, since we're going to use that as a bit of a shuttle to take it through the casing.
Work that safety pin up the casing, bringing the elastic along. This will get a little tougher as you get to the end. Once you've got it through the other side, it's time to stitch it in place. Be careful here, because that elastic already has some tension on it, and you don't want to send it careening back into the casing! Remove the safety pin, and holding the elastic and casing together, ease the elastic back to where it just lines up with the edge of the casing. Use the safety pin to secure this:
|Note: Definitely use a safety pin for this part – a straight pin has a way of popping itself out when under the pressure of the elastic!
Then sew down the elastic, using a few passes on your machine:
Sew down the elastic on the other end of the tube in the same manner, and then repeat the steps above to take care of the elastic in the casing on the other side of the strip.
The final step is to get this into an actual circular shape! Just position the strip right sides together, so that you can sew the ends together. That elastic will make this a bit squirrely, so pin it to keep it all together as you sew.
See that extra couple of inches of backing fabric sticking out there? If you aren't worried about this final seam being finished off, you could just snip it off, and be done. For a cleaner finish, carefully fold up that extra bit of fabric to cover up the seam you just made.
Pop it inside out, and voila! Your cover is done! It doesn't look like much now…
… But pop it onto your wheel, and behold!
One awesome steering wheel cover, and two fewer burnt hands! These are so fun and easy to sew up, that you could easily make a couple different ones to "decorate" your car depending on your mood or the season. I see myself making a holiday themed one, to get me in a cooler frame of mind very soon!

There seem to be a fair few articles that have been candidates for renaming or merging for quite a while without any action taken. Unless there's some objection, I will take the following actions regarding them within the next 24-48 hours...
Christmas at Hogwarts - Was suggested for merging with Christmas at Hogwarts (soundtrack). No discussion, but no real reason not to merge it either. There aren't any other songs that have two separate pages.
Rubeus Hagrid's umbrella/Rubeus Hagrid's wand - A previous attempt to merge the two articles resulted in them being restored as separate articles. The articles have apparntly been tagged since 2009. The result of the discussion was no consensus/weak object. I'll remove the merge tags from the articles.
Mint humbug - was suggested for merging with Peppermint Humbugs. No discusson, but the two are clearly the same item. I'll merge them.
Flying Ford Anglia - was suggested for renaming to Ford Anglia 7990 TD. Result of the discussion was either no consensus or very weak support, and no action taken after over five months. I'll remove the rename tag.
Automobile - was suggested for renaming to Car. The consensus was support. I'll rename it.
Mrs. Scower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover - was suggested (by me) for renaming to Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover, based in this being the spelling used in the books. Was put on hold because I wanted to be sure that this wasn't simply used in the American version, but not the British. Since nobody has chipped in to say that it isn't spelled with the "k" in the British version, and since it's unlikely that this would be changed between the two versions, I'll rename it.
1 January - was suggested for renaming to 1st of January. After over five months, there have been no comments on the matter except by the original poster. Since there seems to be no support and altering this article would also require a renaming of all of our other articles for individual days of the year, I'll remove the rename tag.
HP Twitter Page - was suggested for renaming to Harry Potter Wiki:HP Twitter Page. After nearly ten months, there has been no discussion, except by the original person suggesting it. However, I will leave this one alone for the time being, since it seems to be a sort of "official" page.
There were also three different pictures of Antonin Dolohov that had rename tags on them, but didn't actually have any suggestion for what they should be renamed. As such, I have removed these apparently rogue rename tags. ProfessorTofty 05:18, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Katie Holmes Hair Style
Katie has made her entry into the hair style fashion scene with her very stylist modern bob hair style, see photo left.
Her style features lots of layering combined with a deep side part and side swept bangs. This type of hair style can be worn many different ways, including curly and stick straight.
The bob hair style, however, is a high-maintenance style that will require frequent trims and lots of hair style products to keep all the hair in exactly the right place. This is especially true if you have frizzy or unruly hair. See more Katie Holmes hair styles at http://www.hrhairstyles.com/katie_holmes.htm

Hi all. I'm new here.
I came here because noone could give me an answer for my question.
When i was installing Gothic today i wasn't expecting problems coming out with it.
So, when i ended playing and exited out of Gothic closing it, i reported a window with somekind of error!
[Bild: got01.jpg]
When i pressed OK nothing happend and the window has been closed. But, when i pressed Anuluj (eng. Cancel) another error window came out!
[Bild: got02.jpg]
I dont know what it is! Once, when i had installed Gothic (yr. ago) there wasn't errors like that [on the same hardware]. Today i use WinXP SP2. I have newest drivers too.
I hope you know what is wrong and can help me!

The 23-year-old is set to win his fourth cap in Sweden tomorrow – despite not being a fixture in Roberto Di Matteo's side.
And he has been assured by England coach Roy Hodgson that being a bit-part player at Stamford Bridge won't damage his international prospects.
Sturridge believes he is a natural goalscorer but knows that to prove it he needs to be playing regularly in his favourite role as a centre forward.
And that is something that has eluded him so far with Chelsea this season.
He has made just one start, and though he's often come off the bench in games, he's been limited to just 217 minutes of football.
In that time, he's found the net twice, including against Manchester United in the Capital One Cup, but admits it's not ideal for a player who lives and breathes goals.
"Confidence-wise, it's difficult, to be honest," he said. "And if anyone says, 'If you don't play, you are fine' that's a lie.
"I don't believe it's easy not to play and then switch it on like a light. You cannot do that, you have to be playing regularly.
"You have to be able to replicate what you are doing week in, week out.
"Some players can come off the bench and play well, some can't. Everyone is different.
"But I prefer playing from the beginning of games and if that's not possible, then fine. I will just continue working hard and, whether I'm playing or not, let my football do the talking."
At least Sturridge knows that in Hodgson he has a fan, and the England coach has been quick to offer him words of reassurance.
The striker added: "He has made it clear that players do not have to start for their clubs to play for England.
"That is a huge leap of faith for players like myself, who are not playing regular first-team football.
"If the manager had not made that statement it would be difficult for the likes of myself and Danny Welbeck, who are not playing every week. It makes it easier for us not to feel a lot of pressure.
"He understands our situation, knows what we are going through and is trying to help us through that."
Sturridge – who is a close pal of Manchester United youngster Welbeck, having played with him regularly at Under-21 level – wants to be chief assassin for club and country.
But he may have to do it back to front by firing them in for England before he's leading the Chelsea attack.
He added: "Scoring goals is my strength. That's what I was renowned for in my youth and hopefully I'll be able to replicate that in a first-team environment.
"I believe that, given a regular run, I can score 20 goals a season.
"And if I'm England's centre forward, I believe I can help the team win games, whether that is by scoring goals, making assists or just being a physical presence."

Severe line-current unbalance can cause VFD nuisance tripping and 3rd harmonic currents, which are unusual for phase-to-phase nonlinear loads.
Are you having problems with a "temperamental" variable frequency drive (VFD)? Is it nuisance-tripping, showing all the signs of circuit overload, even though measurements show otherwise? The culprit may be unbalanced phase currents.
What happens is the overload protection trips when the VFD line currents become very unbalanced because there's excessive current in one or two phases. This happens even though the average current of the three phases is well below the VFD's current rating.
According to a paper from the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI's) Power Electronics Application Center (PEAC) (Application No. 1 dated September 1995), line-voltage unbalances usually cause these line-current unbalances. In fact, current unbalance can be 20 times as high as the voltage unbalance. Unevenly distributed single-phase loads can cause the latter across a 3-phase power system. In other words, instead of balancing phase-to-neutral loads evenly across all three phases, more are distributed onto one or two phases. The same goes for phase-to-phase single-phase loads. Instead of balancing the loads on an A-B, B-C, A-C basis, they are distributed unevenly on two pair of phases. Voltage unbalance can also result when using some types of transformer connections such as the "open-delta" connection, where two transformers are used to make a three-phase system.
There are a couple of symptoms to look for The first symptom in most cases is nuisance tripping of upstream breakers due to unbalance current. Many new digital motor control protection relays use a current unbalance trip, and in some cases, the trip limit can be set as low as 5%. The line-current unbalance also increases current harmonic distortion, which can overload building wiring and transformers. You may see excessive 3rd harmonics (normally associated with phase-to-neutral nonlinear loads) as one of the resulting consequences of line-current imbalance on a VFD (a phase-to-phase nonlinear load). Another may be low power factor.
Of course, the "robustness" of the unbalanced power system serving the drive affects the amount of unbalance. According to PEAC, if the system is very strong and has a large transformer and high available fault current, the unbalance will be greater than with a weaker system.
Table 1 on page 16 lists line-to-line voltages (first three columns), calculated voltage unbalance (fourth column), line currents (next three columns), and calculated current unba- lance (last column) for a typical 5-hp VFD for voltage unbalance conditions.
Table 2 on page 16 shows the current waveforms for the same unbalanced conditions noted in Table 1. As you can see, the current of one or two phases changes, as the current unbalance increases, from a double-pulse waveform, which is characteristic of a VFD, to a single-pulse waveform.
The 3rd harmonic component also increases as the current unbalance increases, which is unusual for phase-to-phase non-linear load.
So, how do you go about reducing this problem? First, you measure the VFD's line current during normal operation, just to verify if, in fact, there's an overcurrent in any phase. If the measured value on any phase is not greater than the VFD rated line current and the reason for tripping is due to an upstream current unbalance relay, then increase the trip setting of the relay to a maximum of 30%. One of the benefits of VFDs is that the line side voltage unbalance or the current unbalance does not reflect on the motor side; therefore, you can relax the unbalance trip setting without any concern for damage to the motor connected to the VFD.
Second, if there is a significantly higher phase current (higher than expected for the VFD load), then calculate the amount of voltage unbalance at the VFD power panel. (According to PEAC, greater than 2A per hp load or greater than 15% unbalance is beyond normal expectations for VFD.)
Third, if the voltage is unbalanced by more than 2%, then try rebalancing the line voltages by redistributing as evenly as possible all single-phase loads across all three phases, or relocating unbalanced loads to different power panels, or correcting all overloads within the building.
Let's try a sample problem Let's say you measure VsubAB at 448V, VsubBC at 465V, and VsubAC at 450V. Next, you do some simple arithmetic calculations and insert the results into the following equation: %Unbalance = ((maximum deviation from average) divided by (average of all 3 phase-to-phase voltages)) times 100.
Obviously, the average voltage is the sum of all three voltages divided by 3, which, in this case, is 454V. The maximum deviation is 465V minus 454V, or 11V. Plugging these values into the above equation yields 2.4%. Based on this, you need to do some single-phase load relocation work.
What happens if load relocation doesn't work? You may have to install an AC line reactor at the problem VFD. It will reduce line currents and harmonic distortion as well. You should size the reactor to carry the VFD's full load current, and it should have an impedance rating anywhere from 2% to 6%. (These ratings describe the expected rms voltage drop across the reactor at rated current.)
Choosing the best rating between 2% and 6% can be a problem. If you choose a higher rating, the higher voltage drop will give you the greatest amount of current balance but you'll sacrifice the responsiveness of your VFD. PEAC suggests starting with a 3% impedance.
There are other benefits to ridding your system of line-current unbalance. According to PEAC, balancing 3-phase voltages can reduce system losses and prevent costly shutdowns. Besides reducing current unbalance and harmonic distortion, adding reactors also can increase power factor when unbalanced 3-phase voltages persist. And, they help protect VFDs from motor-starting and capacitor-switching transients.

I have a rather complicated problem to solve. In the application I am building there are some objects, each object can have some parameters each one has one or multiple values (let's keep it simple for now and pretend each parameter can have only one value).
Now, parameters can be grouped into templates, and when you create/edit an object you can use a template to quickly populate the object, a little bit like Masters in InDesign.
Here is a quick viz to make it a bit clearer.
Now the problem is managing the relations between templates (or masters) and their instances. In fact it is possible that at a given point in time, the user wants to override a object parameter value, or viceversa, edit the template.
I am considering to break the relationship template-children when a object parameter is edited, and prompt with an update request when a template that has children is edited.
Is it the right way to go? If so, how should I notify the user and when? If is not the right way to go, how would you do it?

Will ginger help my cold and general under-the-weather-ness, which has been lasting for more than a week and a half?
Jacob and I are in Shanghai right now, house-sitting, and the weather is pretty hot and muggy. I needed something ice cold to ward off heat fatigue, and something gingery to kickstart my immune system. A ginger-mint lemonade off the web sounded so good I bolted to the market to get ginger, lemons, and mint. I came back only to realize that the house, which belongs to Jacob's boss, doesn't have an ice tray. Bugger.
Another trip to the store later, I came back with some semi-fancy Japanese ice tray that makes round ice balls instead of cubes. (It was the cheapest one.) Oh well, ice is ice. A few hours later, after the water finally froze, I finally got to prepare the lemonade.
This was so needed on a hot afternoon. As to whether my immune system appreciated it, only time will tell.
Other cold drinks for hot weather:
Mango MojitoYangmei Iced TeaCoconut and Lime Lassi, Mango and Cardamom Lassi Apple Soju Cocktail______________________________________________
Ginger-Mint Lemonade Adapted from Cork (Westmont, New Jersey) via Food & Wine Cocktails 2006
Makes 2 drinks
2 lemon wedge and sugar Ice 12 to 20 mint leaves, plus 2 mint sprigs for garnish 3 ounces Ginger Syrup* 3 ounces water 3 ounces fresh lemon juice
*To make ginger syrup: In a small sauce pot, put in 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 5 or 6 slices of peeled ginger. Bring mixture to boil, remove from heat, and stir to dissolve remaining bits of sugar. Let it cool. Syrup can be stored in fridge for 1 week.
To make lemonade: Wet the outer rim of two glasses with lemon wedges and coat lightly with sugar. Fill the glasses with ice. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves with the ginger syrup. Add ice, lemon juice, and water, and shake well. Pour the lemonade into 2 glasses and garnish with mint sprig.

University Fitness Challenge
What is the University Fitness Challenge?
The University Fitness Challenge is a program that allows the UIS community to win a t-shirt from schools nationwide while helping them to live a healthier lifestyle. Participants who sign up for the program will choose a school's shirt and then exercise the actual mileage it would take to travel from UIS to that college or university. We have over 100 shirts from schools as close as Western Illinois University (76 miles) and as far as the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (3,620 miles). When the participant documents and submits the required mileage, the t-shirt is theirs to keep!
Who can participate?
All UIS students, faculty, staff, and alumni are eligible to participate.
Is there a cost to participate?
No, this is a free program.
How do I earn miles?
Miles are accumulated on an honor system. Use the conversion chart below to determine total miles earned during activities.
- Walking or jogging: 1 mile = 1 mile
- 1 Group Exercise Class (Zumba, Cycling, Kettlebells etc.) = 2 miles
- Swimming: 10 minutes = 1 mile
- Bike Riding: 10 minutes = 1 mile
- Stairmaster or Elliptical Machine: 30 minutes = 1 mile
- Weight lifting: 30 minutes = 1 mile
- Intramural/Athletic Sports Participation: 1 game/match = 2 miles
- Submit a brief summary of how you incorporated the Rec Tip of the Week into your life to Rec Sports: 1 summary = 2 miles
- Cook one of the Recipe of the Month dishes and submit a photo to Rec Sports: 1 recipe = 2 miles
- Other activities not listed above (golf, skiing, exercise video, etc): 60 minutes = 1 mile
Can I earn miles walking to and from class?
Yes! You can use a pedometer to track the number of steps you take each day. If you use a pedometer be sure not to "double dip". An example of double dipping would be wearing your pedometer while jogging on a treadmill and counting both your steps taken and distance jogged, you will need to pick one or the other. If you don't own a pedometer Rec Sports has them for sale for $1.
- 2000 steps = 1 mile
Can I earn miles by participating in Intramural events?
Yes! You may earn miles participating in any of our Intramural events.
- 1 Intramural game/match = 1 mile
How do I submit miles?
At the end of each week you will need to submit your miles by using the form below. Once your miles are submitted you will receive a copy of the submitted form for your records.
How do I register for the University Fitness Challenge?
Register in TRAC at the front check-in counter. You may register at any time during the academic year. Registration is limited to the number of shirts available, once a shirt is registered for it is considered unavailable.
When does the competition end?
There is not an established end date for this program. As long as the you continue to submit miles we will support you in reaching your goal. However, if you go four consecutive weeks without submitting miles you will be removed from the competition and the shirt you registered for will be made available to other participants.

Not that I know of, but I'll write down a couple od pieces of advice from my own rulebook.Keep your events fluent. Avoid 'phases' and the like. Avoid situations where the flow is halted or interrupted by complex mechanics or other reasons. This impedes immersion heavily.Been thinking about doing events for quite some time. Been thinking about doing a big arena style event. Players fighting each other, various wild animals and the like.Are there any good event guides written up that I could read through to help in the planning and the like?
Please help.Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

The project had a budget of $85 million -- about $1.6 billion today -- to subsidize states to pave roads connecting remote villages to cities across the country. Today, there are over 151 million individual postal delivery points in the United States.
It's one of history's most impressive examples of what's called "last mile distribution."
Life in the last mile
The "last mile," or "last kilometer," are terms created by the telecommunications industry to describe the very outer reaches of their networks. They've since been generalized to talk about all remote communities that are barely covered by health care, electricity, or other infrastructure networks.
It goes without saying that millions of people around the world still live beyond the last mile -- their lives characterized by unmet basic needs like piped water, sanitation, financial tools and more. About 1 billion of these people live on less than $1 a day and depend on aid to survive. But the more than 4 billion people who live on $2 a day live even more financially complex lives at the bottom of the pyramid.
Without access to markets and resources, these mostly rural consumers are forced to either pay higher prices for goods or accept low-quality alternatives. Their purchasing power is limited less by their income and more by where they live. Most companies are unwilling to cover the costs of traveling on bad or non-existent roads to deliver goods to sparse populations. Risk-reward analysis often makes last-mile distribution seem untenable.
Innovations in distribution
Opportunities exist for motivated companies to access huge untapped markets by finding innovative ways to distribute their products.
So far, five models for distribution have proven most successful at reaching the rural poor: hub + spoke, piggybacking, local entrepreneurs, market linkage and local centers. The flexibility of these solutions allows businesses to tailor their distribution systems to the unique circumstances of last-mile markets all over the globe.
Kiva has always helped its partners expand their distribution channels to reach last-mile consumers with the products and services they have typically lacked. To date, much of this work has focused on supporting microfinance institutions (MFIs) in their search for new clients in underserved areas. Using the hub + spoke model, MFIs send field officers into rural villages or urban slums to sell financial products and collect payments. Kiva's low-cost capital allows MFIs to create new hubs and longer spokes, bringing formal financial mechanisms to villages often for the first time.
What's new at Kiva?
Recently, Kiva started working with partners other than microfinance institutions that use different models to distribtue their products. For example, one potential Kiva partner in East Africa piggybacks on the networks of existing cooperatives to distribute clean cookstoves and solar lanterns to farmers in remote rural areas. These products are offered on credit with unique loan terms that take farmers' uneven cash flows into account.
Another current Kiva partner, Zoona in Zambia, hires local entrepreneurs offering training and start-up financing to build mobile money transfer kiosks in remote villages. Zoona's agents are located all over Zambia, virtually connecting communities through mobile technology.
In Tanzania, Kiva partner Barefoot Power distributes solar technology through local charitable social enterprises like Watu Na Nuru. Watu Na Nuru trains village entrepreneurs to become micro-retailers of solar lanterns and batteries in remote rural areas where almost all households rely on kerosene for lighting.
Kerosene is a low-quality, expensive and potentially harmful solution to energy poverty. Barefoot Power is effectively piggybacking on existing social networks to hire local entrepreneurs who have a developed understanding of their specific markets and unfettered access to low-income consumers. As a result, Barefoot Power is able to sell more reliable, cheaper technology to thousands of households who previously lacked alternatives to kerosene. (If you're interested in learning more about clean energy alternatives to kerosene please refer to my previous blog post on the subject.)
Kiva's approach
Many of Kiva's partners, microfinance and otherwise, are searching for better distribution channels to reach households in rural areas. It just makes good financial sense. Yet, last-mile consumers live in radically different circumstances, and one-size-fits-all distribution models are wholly inadequate to account for this diversity. As a result, big businesses continue to drag their collective heels. And vast untapped markets of consumers hunger for cheaper and better products to meet their basic needs.
In the meantime, it helps to remember that you must first build roads to deliver the mail.
Ian Matthews is an intern on Kiva's Strategic Initiatives team, looking for new partners and loan products to extend opportunities and access to even more people around the world. Ian has an MSc in Global Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science and has previously done field work in Honduras. Send him your feedback on this blog series at email@example.com.
This is part of a larger series on Kiva's strategic initiatives and innovative loan products, which are designed to expand opportunities for more borrowers. Kiva is excited to partner with companies and organizations that use innovative distribution models to reach last mile consumers all over the world.

One of the most popular strategies used by senior portrait photographers to get their word out is to use a "model" rep program. This is where you encourage your teen clients to be your evangelists at school and other programs. Some studios call it a "street" program. Whatever you call it, when used effectively, it can be a big boost for your business.
The Power of Video
Video is by far the most powerful tool you can use to promote your studio. We plan to offer posts and tutorials on how you can make your videos really stand out and be used effectively in your marketing. I wanted to share a quick break down of the promo video we created to promote our model program. Comments about the video are below.
Key aspects of this video:
- It's short (less than 2.5 minutes)
- Shows girls having fun
- You hear from the girls what the experience was like
- Fun, upbeat music
- You get an idea of what it's like to work with the photographer
- URL at the end
This particular video was shot with a traditional HD camcorder, but you can do the same with our HDSLR. (Although, I wouldn't likely have the quick zooms I have here if I shot this with a DSLR).
You'll notice this is a YouTube video. Blip.tv and Vimeo are also popular video sharing sites. We use all three, and so should you. The more places you can put your video, the better. Blip.tv is great if you want a video podcast that people can download into iTunes. We have a Teen Identity iTunes channel that we use for all of our model videos. Girls can subscribe to it to download our latest and greatest.
If you have any questions about the video or distribution, feel free to place them in the comments section below. I'll reply to them as quickly as possible, and then everyone will have the benefit of the answer.

Norwich report Sebastien Bassong racial abuse incidents to police
Norwich have reported four separate incidents of actual or alleged racist abuse towards Sebastien Bassong to police.
Last Updated: 10/12/12 6:57pm
The incidents relate to City's 4-3 win against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday and the 1-1 draw at Everton last month.
A Swansea fan was released on bail on Sunday after being arrested at the game for allegedly making racist gestures towards the Cameroon international.
The 23-year-old supporter is understood to have made gestures towards Bassong as the Canaries celebrated their fourth goal and he was arrested soon afterwards.
"Following a complaint made by Sebastien to referee Howard Webb during last Saturday's 4-3 Barclays Premier League win at Swansea, a man in the home section of the crowd was arrested and later charged in relation to alleged racist abuse," read a statement on Norwich's official website.
"We would like to thank both Swansea City FC and South Wales Police for their swift and effective handling of this unfortunate incident.
"In the evening following the match, a tweet containing racist abuse was sent to Sebastien's twitter account. We have this morning passed details of this incident on to Norfolk Police for them to investigate.
"Meanwhile, Norfolk Police are in the process of investigating two further separate racist tweets about Sebastien sent following our 1-1 draw at Everton on Saturday, November 24.
"Sebastien Bassong is a fantastic athlete and professional who we are proud to have on board at Norwich City. It is deeply disappointing that his recent excellent performances for the club should be tarnished by these incidents.
"Norwich City Football Club wish to reiterate that we have a zero tolerance stance on racism and will pursue these and any other examples of discrimination aimed at any of our colleagues to the fullest extent of the law."
Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley praised the way in which Saturday's incident had been dealt with.
"It is a classic, textbook way in which a player who is being abused should complain and how the referee, the officials the security, the police, the club should respond," he told Sky Sports News.
"We want to encourage players to complain, to use the processes, to make sure they work because those processes are there to provide protection and stop people abusing others."

Skype lets you make free PC-to-PC calls anywhere in the world.
With a subscription, you can also make calls to external phones and receive phone calls using an online number.
The following Skype tips and tricks will help you make the most of the service.
1. Test your kit
The Skype welcome screen features a handy shortcut for testing your sound devices. Click 'Check your sound works', then click the button to test each device - speakers, microphone and video (if applicable) - in turn.
If the test fails, Skype will make some basic suggestions to remedy the problem, like making sure your headset port (typically the front mic) is selected as the default device. Follow the instructions to see if you can fix the problem.
Skype will offer to make a test call for you - you'll dial a number, hear a female voice and then attempt to record a message. This will let you check the sound quality of your microphone and ensure it's at the right volume.
Skype automatically adjusts your mic and headphone's volume to try to fix potential problems, but you can also tweak these settings yourself by selecting 'Tools | Settings | Audio settings'. You can click 'Show advanced options' to set default devices.
2. Try Bluetooth
Skype works with any microphone, speakers or headphones provided they're properly installed. This includes Bluetooth headsets as long as your computer has a Bluetooth receiver.
With your PC's Bluetooth receiver switched on and your headset in pairing mode, double-click the Bluetooth icon that appears in the notification area of the taskbar and click 'Add' under 'Devices'. Tick 'My device is set up and ready to be found', then click 'Next'.
Wait while Windows tries to locate the headset. When it appears in the list, select it and click 'Next'. Select the appropriate settings according to your headset's manual and, if necessary, enter the passkey. Click 'Next' to see the device connected and set up, then click 'Finish'.
3. Import contacts
Having a full list of contacts saved in Skype will make setting up calls a much simpler process. You can add an individual contact by choosing 'Contacts | Add a contact', then entering the relevant information manually.
If the person you're contacting is already on Skype, he or she will receive a contact request, but you can also import multiple contacts from a list or from an existing webmail or Facebook account.
Choose 'Contacts | Import contacts'. Now select the type of account you want to import from and provide your username and password to connect to that service and transfer the data.
If any of these people already have Skype accounts associated with their email addresses, they will be listed. Click 'Add those contacts' to send them a contact request. Names and phone numbers will be stored for you anyway.
4. Instant messaging
When you're signed into Skype, it can act as an instant messaging program similar to Yahoo or Windows Live Messenger. You can exchange text messages with online contacts or move to an audio call at any time.
Just select an online contact, type in your message and click 'Send' to start a conversation. In your settings you can choose whether other users can see an animated pencil while you're typing something.
You can also set Skype to receive messages from people in your contact list only, and you can opt to keep a history of all your conversations. Choose 'Tools | Options' and move to the 'IM and SMS' tab before clicking 'Show advanced options'. You can now change any of these settings to suit your preferences.
5. Start with Windows
By default, Skype is set to start when Windows launches. This is handy if you want to be available to talk at all times, but it can be an irritant if you need to get on with some important work without any interruptions. You can set Skype to only launch when you open it, by choosing 'Tools | Options | General settings' and clearing the box marked 'Start Skype when I start Windows'. Click 'Save'.
While here, you can also set the visual style of Skype. By default this is the Skype style, but you can choose Classic Windows instead. You can change the default sounds used by Skype by clicking the 'Sounds' icon and selecting the sound that you want to use.
6. Online number
To make calls to phones, you need to buy a Skype subscription or Skype credit. Click 'Skype | Account', then 'Buy more credit' or 'Get a subscription'.
Most subscriptions give you a number that lets people call you on Skype from landlines. Start by choosing 'Online number' and clicking 'Set up now'. Pick a country from the list - people calling you from that country are charged local rates, so it's perfect for keeping in touch with friends and family abroad.
There's a limited number of area codes available, so pick the one closest to you and then click one of the suggested numbers or try to pick one of your choice. Untick the box if you don't want this number to be displayed when you call phones through Skype, then click 'Activate number'.
7. Answer message
You can set up your voicemail to take messages when you aren't online. To do this choose 'Tools | Options | Calls | Show advanced options'. Now select 'Voicemail' from the left-hand pane. Tick the box marked 'Send unanswered calls to voicemail'. Click the 'Record' button and use your microphone to record your outgoing message.
If you don't record a message, a default one will be used instead, but it makes sense to record your own to give a more personal impression. You can also opt to send calls to voicemail if you reject an incoming call or if you're already on a call by ticking the relevant options. Finally, click 'Save' to store these settings.
8. Get extras
Extras let you add more functions to Skype via plugins. In the latest version of Skype the Extras Manager is disabled by default, so when you choose the Tools menu, the 'Extras' option is greyed out.
If this is the case, you need to uninstall and then reinstall Skype. Download the version of Skype provided on the Extras page. This is a slightly older version of the program. While the software is installing, click 'Options' on the Hello screen, tick 'Install Skype Extras Manager' and click 'I agree - Install'.
Once complete, sign back into Skype and choose 'Tools | Extras | Get extras'. Browse through the catalogue of extras and click the green button next to one to install it.
Some extras let you share a whiteboard or play games with people on your Skype contact list, while others provide handy recording facilities.
9. Recording calls
One such extra is MP3 Skype Recorder. This is a free program that automatically records all your Skype audio conversations and saves them in MP3 format. It can cover Skype-to-Skype calls and SkypeOut calls to a landline. It sits in the system tray monitoring Skype and starts recording automatically when you make a call.
You'll need to inform any other participants in the call that it's being recorded, especially if you plan to rely upon the recording later on. Each call is saved as a separate MP3 file and stored in the default save location.
MP3 Skype Recorder is even capable of recording multiple calls that take place at the same time while one of the calls is on hold.
10. Skype button
You can add a Skype button to your website or blog that lets visitors know if you're online. If they have Skype installed on their PC, they can call you with a single click. You can even add the button to an email signature so that the recipient of any of your mails can quickly click it to call you to discuss the contents of the email.
Get your own Skype button and enter your username. Select the button style that you want to use from those provided. Once you've provided these details, a preview of your button will be shown below them and alongside it the embed code that you can include in a web page or email. Copy and paste this code as HTML source into your website or email signature file.
