The DictationBridge team is delighted to announce the immediate release of
DictationBridge version 1.0!
For years, the community has been asking for a free, libre, open source dictation solution it can use with the screen reader of its choice. Today, the wait is over: meet DictationBridge
1.0, the dictation solution for screen reader users created by and for the community. Building on a modest goal shared by three people in three wildly divergent timezones communicating by email as far back as 2011 all the way through the success of a community fundraiser in
2016 and its resultant two-year development and testing process, and with encouragement from the community, the talented members of the DictationBridge team have been working hard to deliver a dictation solution that will meet the needs of many and open up opportunities for millions more blind people around the world.
DictationBridge is a fully featured add-on for the world's two most commonly used screen readers. Serving as a gateway between you, the NVDA and/or Jaws screen readers and either Dragon Naturally Speaking or Windows Speech Recognition, DictationBridge will change how you work with computers using voice recognition.
The following is a list of the features that our team thinks are most important, but please remember this is a very partial list of the entire package. The complete list of features can be found by reading through Champion White Keds Original Canvas Black Women gBTqW7nxT6 and we're certain you will find many of the other features and details compelling too.
We've received some user feedback indicating that alternative formats for the DictationBridge documentation are needed. Click here to get the documentation in HTML as a zip file, suitable for use in Voice Dream Reader. Other formats will be added as requested.
Our Favorite Things About DictationBridge
The following are key highlights of DictationBridge that the team who created it feel are most important:
- DictationBridge works with both NVDA and Jaws, affording the DictationBridge team the privilege of serving 78.5% of the screen reading community with a dictation solution that can be freely learned from, freely distributed, and either used as-is or modified to meet the computing needs of a single end-user or a group of end-users. Prior to DictationBridge, NVDA users had no accessible way to control either Windows Speech Recognition or the Dragon line of products from Nuance and now they have access to both.
- Furthermore, Jaws users had no accessible way to control Windows Speech Recognition, and they had only one solution for controlling Dragon. Now they have not only a solution for controling Windows Speech Recognition, but they also have a solution for Dragon which they can freely learn from, freely distribute, and either use as-is or modify to meet their needs.
- White White white ECCO white Women ECCO Women White Women ECCO DictationBridge does not change your screen reader setup in any way unrelated to dictation. If you install an NVDA or JAWS update, it will not effect the version of DictationBridge designed for your screen reader and DictationBridge will in turn not change any plug-ins or scripts, including the defaults when you install it. With DictationBridge, there's no more waiting for your dictation support to catch up with the latest version of your screen reader and there's no potential for DictationBridge to accidentally insert bugs into the default behavior of your Screen Reader of choice. 2750 Superga Shoes Womens Gold Rose Cotmetu c81UqAUw6H
- DictationBridge for both NVDA and JAWS provide all of the features a user would expect in a fully featured dictation plug-in or set of scripts and configurations. DictationBridge echoes back the text you've dictated, it provides access to the user interface for both Windows Speech Recognition and the entire line of Dragon products and includes a full sweet of other cool features you can read about in the DictationBridge documentation.
- DictationBridge is the first ever dictation solution for screen readers to include an extensive collection of verbal commands that users can employ to control their screen reader and do various other tasks with the Dragon line of products from Nuance, as well as with Windows Speech Recognition. The DictationBridge team designed this part of the package to make it very easy to add new commands and to modify those that we provide. It even supports navigating the entire web with only speech!
- DictationBridge, NVDA and Windows Speech Recognition are all available at no cost to end-users, their educators, their employers, governments or anyone else.
- Care has been taken while developing DictationBridge to ensure that it can be easily translated into languages other than English. This affords DictationBridge the possibility to be translated into any of the 35 languages supported by Windows Speech Recognition, and any of the more than 43 languages supported by NVDA which correspond with those supported by Windows Speech Recognition. Whether you're dictating in a language other than English, or whether your entire Windows interface is in a language other than English, you'll be able to use DictationBridge in your preferred language once there is a translation available for it, without maintaining separate software licenses for your screen reader to cover non-English interfaces. We believe all blind people, no matter where they live or what language they speak natively should have access to the software they need and DictationBridge is a part of that overall goal.
- Because DictationBridge is free, libre open source software (FLOSS), it is not only available gratis to all who care to use it, DictationBridge affords the community the freedom to add to, modify, learn from, repurpose or do anything else they care to do with the software moving forward. People with programming skills can look at the source code as it currently stands for both the Jaws and NVDA versions, along with the DictationBridge core code, by browsing to this GitHub user profile and selecting the appropriate repository. DictationBridge provides true freedom with a lower case "f."
- Documentation is just as important as the software itself. You will find DictationBridge's documentation to be among the highest quality available you've ever read.
- Finally, the DictationBridge team recognizes that it is often necessary for screen reader users to use more than one screen reader throughout a day's computer use. Consequently, DictationBridge is capable of handing off its functionality between screen readers, provided you have both the NVDA and Jaws versions installed.

White white White Women ECCO Women white White ECCO Women ECCO The Humans Who Made DictationBridge Possible
The DictationBridge team had more than a dozen official members and a lot of help from individuals throughout the community to get the software to where it is today. We would like to recognize some of the people who did a lot of the heavy lifting over the seven years that have transpired as this project went from idea to plan to funding to a release.
We ask that readers congratulate the three people who started this project as without them, it would have never happened. Pranav Lal has handled almost all of the day to day management of this project and has been helping carry it on his back since day one. Lucy Greco has been the project spokesperson from the beginning and has fought harder for the DB users than anyone else on the team; simply put, DictationBridge is a profoundly better software package because of Lucy's determination. Last but not at all least is Amanda Rush, she's a WordPress consultant who has had to put up with demands about our site from literally every other member of the team for more than a year and a half at this point. These three people are why and to a large extent how we were able to bring DictationBridge to the public.
Chris Hofstader played an invaluable role by championing the DictationBridge project itself, as well as the idea that the blind community should be in a position to control its own technological destiny, of which the DictationBridge project is a part. Matt Campbell has led the engineering team from the beginning and brought his tremendous low level Windows hacking skills to the project. , Mallory Van Achterberg handled most of the day to day management of the crowdfunding effort and without her diligence, we would have never made our goal. Derek Riemer joined the team late in the game, took over the NVDA scripting tasks and the software grew better by leaps and bounds with his contributions both in writing code and providing advice to the rest of the team. Sean Pharaoh joined the team when the JAWS version was floundering and has contributed to the common core code shared by both NVDA and JAWS. Tim Burgess carried the Jaws scripts to the finish line, making it possible for the DictationBridge project's Jaws version to see the light of day. Erin Lauridsen (now of San Francisco Lighthouse) was our original documentation leader and got the ball rolling and Joseph Lee joined the documentation team and took over its leadership making the DictationBridge documentation as good as any we've ever read in the blindness space. Patrick Kelly, Sue Martin, Austin Hicks, Tyler Spivey and Bryan Smart all made contributions that helped bring this software to our community. Finally, we would like to recognize The Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired of San Francisco, or what the rest of us call San Francisco Lighthouse. SFL gave us our largest single contribution funding 25% of our goal, Lucy Greco announced the launch of the project at a Lighthouse Labs meeting in 2016, Erin Lauridsen, now Director of Access Technology at SFL, led our documentation team before leaving us to take on this terrific new job and everyone around SFL has been tremendously supportive of our efforts throughout this long journey.
DictationBridge has been a long time coming, and has been a labor of love on the part of every member of this team. Every one of us believes that the blind community ought to have a say in how its technological needs and wants are met, that every screen reader should be able to choose between solutions even if they make choices we wouldn't prefer they make, and that neither access to finances nor country of residence nor spoken language should be determining factors in the technological choices blind people make for themselves. DictationBridge joins projects like NVDA and its community of add-ons as one more stepping stone toward the goal of shaping our own technological destinies, and opens the door for Jaws users to join the NVDA community on this journey by way of freely modifiable and freely distributable code for their preferred screen reader.
If you're interested in coming along for the ride with us, join the DictationBridge discussion list and download DictationBridge for your screen reader of choice from the links above, and share it with your friends, and let's keep the revolution going.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Personal Use, Boat Graphics
Designing a graphic for the back of a 11 foot wide boat. Graphic to include boat name with a flowing banner, ribbon or other sweeping, rolling type flow main lettering flow across the back. Total graphic to include a couple of graphic images like small cluster or a single palm tree. We want a realistic looking cluster of palm trees. Base of tree trunks should have something resembling a clump of sand maybe with some faint images of sea oats/beach grass, etc. Trees must have stalks/tree trunks and need to be brown/beige with some definition to the trunk to depict the annual overlays and natural progression of the bases of the leaves falling off and becoming the outer skin/bark of the tree trunk. and the foliage/leaves need to be green with some pointed definition on them so it looks like a real palm tree. Would also like to see a setting sun with orange/reddish coloring setting over a water horizon line in the background of the tree image.
We enjoy life and music, and want to depict the wording of " Cruzin' N' Bluzin' " on the right side of the boat, probably on the right door panel area. The boat is fiberglass and the hull color is white. Boat has medium/dark green canvas and some green and gold striping along the sides. See newly added photos for stripes color and sizes. See attached picture of rear of boat, dimensional drawing and " work in progress personal graphics layout. We are looking for simple, but unique. Want some colors in the graphics and lettering but not overdone. Open to all suggestions. We are trying to blend the colors from the green canvas, the white boat and we have some interior vinyl areas that are a tan/beige/taupe color vinyl so we are trying to stay within that color palette. The sides of the boat you cannot see have a 2" wide dark green stripe and ¾" wide gold strip separated by a 1" white area of the boat (see photos added). We are trying to blend all this together and not have too many different colors. On the Cruzin n Bluzin lettering, we like the both horizontal and angle up slant orieinted lettering on the right door (slope up should be from lower left to upper right at about 10 to 15 degrees up from horizontal. Here again we want a main body letter color of green or gold with an outline/shadowing of tan/beige/taupe/black/green or maybe the gold like in the side stripes. We want a small crescent shaped moon, with an thin line outline of it around the crescent moon shape. We would like to have some faint images of craters (small round circles with shadows. This crescent moon should be blended at the end of the Crusin N Bluzin wording graphic.
On the LAKE ALLATOONA, GA lettering, I'm a balanced, centered up, equidistant type person (Engineer) and I think I would prefer this wording centered on the transom lower middle, unless we come up with a better ideas).The Lake Allatoona, GA wording, since this going to be a smaller font size, maybe we should use a solid color letter and a darker beige/tan/taupe/gold/black color. The area along the very bottom of the transom wall has a tendency to get kicked and rubbed with foot traffic and is subject to scuffing. I want to keep all lettering at least 3" above the deck to the bottom of the letter row.
I can be contacted by email at email@example.com or by phone at 404.245.5481 to discuss details of development. Thanks for your designs!
We are the Owner's of this 1990 model year, 350 Sea Ray Sundancer crusier. We are in progress on a $10k + facelift for this great motor yacht. We operate only on inland lake Lake Allatoona, located in North Georgia. We love music, blues/pop/county primarily and enjoy partying on the water with friends with similar boats. We are from the deep South and are in our mid fifties in age.

"I think with all those things coming after Selection Sunday, Buy BROMAZEPAM online cod, we've got some time this week. Like I said, we've had some discussions already, but I don't know that I'm ready to answer that yet."
"I think it would be great to get a shot to get another win," said UNI guard Johnny Moran. "Maybe another run together in another tournament. It would be nice to play some more with these guys."

weekend sewing
First up, some bee blocks for Krista. She's kicking off the first month of the Free Bee and has requested blocks similar in feel to these wooden trees (but without the stems). She only wanted one block, but I couldn't stop myself and did two. It was fun to sew up something so low stress.
Next, I completed my partner's bag for the Potholder Pass 10 swap!
My partner likes patchwork and modern fabrics. I used a grey Robert Kaufman Carolina Chambray for the main part of the bag, a Suzuko Koseki kitchen print for the panels, and a scrappy log cabin for the pockets.
It's lined with one of my favorite white and orange florals. I hope she likes it!
Ah, to be sewing again. It feels so good.

Oh, you're the sweetest! I love those two blocks and can't wait to add them to the growing stack of others, thank you!!! Your market bag is gorgeous. I don't think I could put soggy lettuce or a sweaty carton of milk in there - it's way too pretty. What a lucky partner you have.

Leafy descent with a green indicator from a Blinder 3
Out for late afternoon rides with a Blinder as a running light and to get me home as dusk turns to night, it's like a tiny sun on the bars.

When using the mysql_ping command under php 5.1.2 and mysql 5.0, I was having problems with the auto-reconnect "feature", mainly that when the connection was severed, a mysql_ping would not automatically re-establish the connection to the database.
The connection to the DB is dropped when the time without a query excedes the wait_timeout value in my.cnf. You can check your wait_timeout by running the query "SHOW VARIABLES;"
If you're having problems auto-reconnecting when the connection is dropped, use this code:
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');
if (!mysql_ping ($conn)) {
//here is the major trick, you have to close the connection (even though its not currently working) for it to recreate properly.
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');
//run queries knowing that your connection is alive....

I was in the square when there were just hundreds and at 1 PM I could say there are thousands flocking in to the square after the prayers aside from the expected huge numbers to show up in the rallies to Tahrir square. Now in 6:54 PM and after what I have seen I can say that there are hundred thousands.
The weather is warm but when you get closer to Haardess area that intersection with Mohamed Mahmoud Street and Kasr Al Aini your nose and eyes can not miss the horrifying smell of tear gas grenades. Oh yes the clashes in Kasr Al Aini street between the protesters and security forces behind the wall continue for the second day in row and up till now , till this hour the clashes continue.
The tear gas used this time is terrible by all measures , my eyes are still burning me. I do not know how these teenagers tolerated to stay that close.
The security forces are using a nasty type of tear gas grenades , really nasty. When I was there I saw the security forces throwing tear gas grenades from behind the wall and the protesters " mostly teenagers" throwing the grenades back like football. The police uses this technique of getting close to the wall using the armored vehicle I believe based on that siren and then it fires the tear gas grenades
When I was there were at least 6 injured , I saw two of them including a Spanish photographer who was hit in his eye. The other injured was also hit in his eye. The ambulances were at Omar Makram mosque but later when there were many injuries at Kasr Al Aini they moved there. There were two field hospitals during then including one at Dobra church , the famous Dobra field hospital. It is now closed after it was attacked by security forces by tear gas grenades !!
One important detail the tents of the sit in at Tahrir complex were burned by security forces in early morning , it was obvious as you can see in the photos.
There were two Friday speeches. One at Omar Makram mosque that was religious one about Prophet Mohamed PBUH birthday and the other one was political one at Tahrir square. The sheikh at Tahrir square is Sheikh Mohamed Abdullah who is known for his extreme hate to Salafists and MB. I filmed part of the speech.
I did not know what happened across the country when I was there. I heard that things were on fire in Alexandria and Suez from the main stage near Hardee's , I did not think it was truly on fire for real and there are clashes continuing up till this moment
I feel that some street vendors were aggressive and rude on propose to have fights. You know these vendors from tea sellers , some of them are real trouble makers and informants
Till I left at 4 PM there were less sexual harassment incidents unlike other types. In fact I saw a harasser being kicked from Tahrir square while weeping like a girl !!
In my way out at Tahrir exit from the Arab League direction I saw Tahany El Gabali entering , the former judge was not received warmly as a man screamed " there is no place for her here , it is my square , it is my square". An old middle class lady sitting on a chair told her friend then when she saw that scene " She is not good but MB made a hero out of her" which is actually true.
I saw and met Dr. Saad El Din Ibrahim . A man told him laughing "it is your mistake ya Doc , you introduced the MB to the Americans"
The famous professor laughed too. He told me that he wished that the message of the day reaches to the regime other wise it will be a huge mistake.
I saw also Dr. Manal Omar entering the square. She refused to speak to the media but she was extremely nice lady with beautiful smile. I saw Saher El Mogy , the famous novelist coming in the "Baheya Ya Misr" rally that including banners of women icons in Egypt including Um Kalthoum, Huda Sharaawy, Shahenda Makled and Doria Shafik.
I witnessed the arrival of the Al Wafd party and Strong Egypt party. For the record Strong Egypt party rally was chanting against the MB and its guide , I filmed them. Parts of the famous Mostafa Mahmoud rally and Zamalek rally came. I saw the ladies of Gazeera club with banners saying "Al Azhar speaks for Muslims and so on"
A cross section of the society was in Tahrir square as well from different provinces and political powers and parties.
The chants were mostly against the MB and Morsi so were most of the banners in the square.Chants were once again : The people want to topple the regime and Leave we won't leave
Some came because he does not like MB and doesn't want Morsi to stay while others do not want the constitution and want to have a new one.
With chants against the president and security forces acting as they have been sans live ammunition , it is like going back to square one .. In Tahrir square.
I am too tired to do a general coverage , it is crazy day.

intentio needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 21 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
FreeFiveStarGames is a new gamesite promoting games which can be played for free before payment have to be done. We aim to deliver quality games and constantly adding new games to our portifolio.
We will be targeting all kinds of different audience in different campaigns.
1) We are looking for a logo which identifies us as serious "game shop". The logo should be playful, crisp and clean but not too childish looking. It could easily be designed similar to the games we are offering. Visit our draft site http://www.freefivestargames.com to check graphics.
The logo also needs a background which also should match current theme.
The total size for this is 890x100px
2) Background. Currently we have a "blue star heaven". We need a background which matches the current website theme and future logo.
3) Stars; one for the block headings and one for the categories. This can be same as used in logo or another design. (instead of the small circles)
4) Favicon for internet browsers based on the logo.
We are considering designs with weight on order above. AND it will be enough to provide a good logo with background to win contest.
Things to note:
1) We are trying to have a "Five Star" theme, so the logo should in one way or the other consist of five stars.
2) On the far right of the logo the should be room to insert som text. Text example can be "New titles added daily" or "Try quality games for free or buy full versions for only $6.99!"
3) Color palette is up to the designer but it should match the current blue theme we have on our website.
We will require the logo to be provided as a resizeable vector (.EPS) and a layered PSD if possible.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

I have never been so frustrated after a W. What the heck is going on with the D?
This is the third time since the Lions game they've shit their pants in THE crucial drive of the game. Add in all the 3rd down woes we've had all season and you have to wonder if this bunch has what it takes to get it done in the money time. On the other hand Wilson...Can he come on and play safety on 3rd downs and crucial drives? Unbelievable that he did it again. what's the record for 4th quarter comebacks in a season?
Last but not least, flags again. Just like the beginning of the season, after every decent play we made on both sides of the ball I was holding my breath until it was certain there is no flag to take it back. The last two weeks show we're not past this problem at all. Not many things are worse than being an undisciplined and we're headed there if not already there. Pete has got to go back to extreme measures. I loved it when he pulled Breno after two penalties awhile ago, I hope we return to this policy.

We have used this a couple times when one year olds wouldn't nurse their lambs. A home made wood one worked but this is so much easier,
and no more bottle babies...
Randa D from MO
We loved how the headgate fit in the corner of the lambing jugs. We were able to graft all of our bottle lambs this year with the help of this gate. I'm not sure how we raised sheep before we got it!

Membership packaging and pricing has been the industry's Holy Grail from the inception of the modern health club era. Since 1947, when Vic Tanny first introduced America to his glistening, carpeted health clubs, health club memberships have changed little. Whether it was Ray Wilson and his various club chains, Health and Tennis Corp. (later Bally Total Fitness), 24 Hour Fitness or today's industry darlings (Equinox, Life Time Fitness, LA Fitness and Planet Fitness), one thing has remained relatively constant: the way memberships are packaged and priced. It seems the more we evolve, the less we change, and the more we replicate.
When Vic Tanny introduced us to the modern health club model, he also cast in stone some practices that remain a fixture in the industry today, including:
Membership contracts. Under Tanny's model, people could purchase a membership for one month, three months, six months, one year, seven years or even a lifetime. In each case, members signed a contract, paid the price and lived with their decision. Today, many clubs still have ironclad membership contracts that leave little room for members to step out without paying the full amount stated in the agreement. The only things that have changed are the length of a membership agreement (most state legislatures have regulated the length to remove long-term agreements) and the manner in which these contracts are paid (the majority are now paid through monthly installments).
Misleading promotions, discounting and high-pressure sales. Tanny was the master at bait-and-switch advertising, price discounting, high-volume sales, and the behind-closed-door strong-arm tactics of closing. Today, due in large part to various state legislative actions, clubs cannot use bait-and-switch or some of Tanny's other sales tactics. However, some chains still leverage some of Tanny's other techniques, such as heavily discounted pricing, high-volume sales, misleading promotional techniques and high-pressure closing.
Installment Payments. When Tanny first introduced payment plans, customers paid in full upfront, but in future years, he introduced monthly installment plans in which his company served as a note holder, a practice that became prevalent in later years when offspring organizations, such as Health and Tennis, offered installment agreements. Today, rather than installment agreements, we have monthly EFT, which is only a modest change from the former method of stretching payments out over an extended term.
Initiation Fees. This is one membership pricing practice that cannot be credited to Vic Tanny, as it did not become prevalent until the introduction of monthly dues payments through EFT in the late 1970s. Nonetheless, initiation fees (enrollment fees, induction fees and administration fees) have been around for nearly 30 years. The only difference today is that most clubs have waived these fees in an effort to generate greater sales volume. During the past five years, the average club's initiation fees have dropped from just over $150 to less than $100, according to IHRSA's "Profiles of Success." In addition, many of the larger chains often forfeit the majority of their posted fee as part of their sales promotions.
Instead of sticking with the past, some industry visionaries are changing their packaging and pricing by doing some of the following:
Exit fees. Instead of charging initiation fees, some club operators are charging exit fees if members leave before their contract is up. Although some operators who have tried this practice have only had marginal success, the practice has momentum in the country club business where initiation fees once dominated the landscape, so perhaps it eventually will take hold at health clubs. Departing members at these country clubs are charged the exit fee, but they are charged the monthly dues only for the time they used the club rather than being charged for the entire period of the agreement as health clubs are doing.
Need-oriented memberships. Rather than sell a membership that provides access and occasionally privileges, some clubs sell a package that targets a specific human need (anti-aging package, anti-cellulite package and back health package). Instead of being based on facility access, these packages offer a bundle of services, such as personal training, massage and nutrition guidance. In many cases, the cost of these bundled services was greater than a membership. When I did this as CEO of Russian Fitness Group, we gave people who purchased these packages access to the club even when they were not engaged in the bundled services.
Guaranteed results memberships. This membership option focuses on guaranteed results based on the realistic desires of a prospect. For example, if a prospect needs to lose 20 pounds, then an agreement is formulated that guarantees the weight loss based on commitments from both parties (a legal behavioral contract so to speak). Payment can then be done through a lump sum amount or through regular installments. If the result is not achieved because of failure on the club's part, then the member receives a certain level of refund.
Four-week or two-week price offer. U.S. clubs typically quote annual or monthly prices. Many European operators set price per two-week period or four-week period. For example, instead of $20 per month for 12 months, they might charge $9.99 every two weeks for 26 periods or $19.98 for every four weeks for 13 payment periods. How is this any different? Well, $20 per month equals $240 for the year, but $9.99 every two weeks or $19.98 every four weeks equals $259.48, or another $20 per membership annually. If you have 5,000 members, that is another $100,000 annually. The secret is not the promotion of the lower price but the fact that the value of the experience is broken into smaller increments (two or four weeks instead of a month) and, as a consequence, extends the actual period of payment from 12 months to 26 two-week periods or 13 four-week periods.
Membership investment agreements. This approach initially was introduced in the 1800s by one of the industry's pioneers, but it never took hold after his death. In the 1840s, Hippolyte Triatt sold a form of investment stock in his club. For a specific investment, the prospective investors received memberships and a specified number of private training sessions. The investors then had a choice to pull dividends, or if they preferred to waive the dividends, receive said value in the form of private sessions. This approach basically allowed Triatt to use the invested capital to build and operate his club. In later years, many privately held clubs, especially country clubs, adapted this concept in giving members equity. What if today's market leaders created an investment tool that allowed prospects to invest in the club and in return they received access and, secondarily, the option for dividends based on the club's performance or a specific number of customized sessions based on their needs?
These five suggestions are just the tip of how the industry might change its approach to membership packaging and pricing. The opportunities to change are endless but only if we are willing to take a serious look at what our past shows us, then commit to exploring new horizons. The first step must be to stop thinking of our business as a pure sales model. Instead, we must approach it as an engagement and dream fulfillment business. Then, and only then, will our minds have the freedom to explore new membership ideas.

|toGObject :: GObjectClass o => o -> GObject
|fromGObject :: GObjectClass o => GObject -> o
|castToGObject :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> obj
|Low level binding functions
|All these functions are internal and are only interesting to people writing bindings to GObject-style C libraries.

|Reference and sink an object.
|constructNewGObject :: GObjectClass obj => (ForeignPtr obj -> obj) -> IO (Ptr obj) -> IO obj
|This function wraps any object that does not derive from Object. The object is NOT reference, hence it should be used when a new object is created. Newly created GObjects have a reference count of one, hence don't need ref'ing.

I told you it would be up today!
Following on from my favourites of last month, here's what I have used up, conveniently in groups of two in each 'category'!
Lynx Attract Shower Gel - This was actual just a use-up for the sake of using up - I didn't like the smell much, and sadly I didn't find any fit men throwing themselves at me...
Original Source Vanilla Milk and Raspberry Shower Gel - This on the other hand, I (and Lee!) love. Although it's raspberry-based this shower gel smells distinctly of strawberry milkshake, and is the ideal skin treat first thing - I also like that it is vegan.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Body Lotion - This has to be my favourite, favourite, favourite body lotion, and I was so glad to use it again after the tons of baby lotion I had to get through! However as much as I love the scent and how soft it makes my skin feel, I was recently looking at the ingredients on the back and it is packed with chemical nasties - something which I am trying to avoid to ease my psoriasis.
Steam Cream - my lovely Mum bought me this ("it's not tested on animals!") and I was excited to try it after hearing so many good things about it - not to mention the incredibly cute tin! It is marketed as a face, hand or body lotion, and I had used it up largely as a body lotion as I found it just wasn't 'right' for my skin. Saying that, it is lovely and light in texture and smells really fresh, so could easily suit other skins.
Aldi Lacura Cotton Wool Pads - 200 pads for less than a pound. Amazing quality. Say no more!
Superdrug Oval Cotton Wool Pads - I bought these to use all over my face, in the hope I wouldn't go through as many smaller ones. They did the job, and are quite reasonably priced in comparison to the likes of Boots.
NSpa Ultimate Cleansing Tonic - It's a funny one this (and yes it was a product I meant to review but never got round to it *slap my wrist*): one of those half-and-half liquids that you shake to mix up. I had such high hopes that it would be a Bioderma replacement, but I ended up just using it as an eye makeup remover as it felt like I was literally putting eye makeup remover all over my face if I tried to use it as an all-over makeup remover (kind of oily/sticky-ish, if you get my gist). I feel like I need to buy another bottle and try it again to form a proper opinion on it!
Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Cleanser - I bought this after Miss Budget Budget said she found it was very effective as a renewing facemask (rather than a cleanser) and I agree. As a cleanser it wasn't very deep cleansing or thorough at removing makeup/daily grime, but I liked applying it on my clean face and leaving it for 15 mins or so to get to work, and it definitely left skin brighter (if a tad sensitive) thanks to the fruit acids it contains.
Have you tried any of these products? What do you think?

Local gallery recognizes young artists
A local gallery has plans to recognize young artists with an exhibit dedicated just for their work.
The third annual Riverside Art Center Youth Show is set to begin Saturday with an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m.
"We are trying to promote art in schools and for the students," Gallery Director Anna Fisher said. "This (subject) is where a lot of kids shine and they need an outlet that makes them feel good about themselves."
Students from Aug-laize, Allen and Shelby county schools, from preschool to seventh grade, have entries that will be displayed at the gallery during this show.
There are 12 participating art teachers that have picked as many as 30 pieces of their students' artwork from their classes.
"It's fabulous," Fisher said. " I think the art that the teachers submit gets better each year."
This art exhibit started with only Wapakoneta City Schools submitting artwork and has grown to include many area schools.
"It's gotten bigger and bigger and bigger," Fisher said of the how the exhibit has grown. "We started with Wapak and it has grown over the years."
This exhibit not only gives students encouragement and recognition, but it also gives the teachers kudos for their work.
"This is our way of giving a nod to art teachers, and we will give a monetary donation to the teachers, "Fisher said. "Art teachers are often spread thin. This is a bit of sunshine for everyone."
Between the watercolor, crayon and tissue paper, Fisher said that there is variety of artworks and styles to see at this year's show. She described the works as "incredible and sophisticated."
She noted this year she has seen a lot of color in the student's artwork.
"There is so much color this year," Fisher said. "The color is so insane. It draws you in."
The bright art pieces include works that were made in class while following lesson plans involving studying artists, art history, techniques and following a storyline.
In addition, this exhibit is rewarding for each student.
For many of these students, this is the first time their work has been displayed in a public gallery setting, and Fisher is glad that the Riverside Art Center can provide a place to display their pieces.
"The best thing is seeing the kids smile," Fisher said, addressing when students see their artwork hung up at the gallery.

His Highness Sheikh Diab bin Zayed Al Nahyan, chair of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) recently inaugurated Masdar's 10-MW power plant, marking the integration of the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in the Middle East to the Abu Dhabi municipal grid.
The solar power plant will provide clean energy to the temporary Masdar site administration facilities and power the ongoing construction activities of Masdar City. In addition, the plant will supply all the energy needs of The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, a graduate-level scientific institution dedicated to renewable energy study, which opens in late 2009.
"Masdar's 10-MW solar power plant is a testament to our leadership's dedication to the advancement of renewable energy. The connection of this plant marks an important milestone in the development of Masdar City and in our emirate's history," said Sultan Al Jaber, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Masdar. "We believe this is just the first delivery of the rich potential of solar energy and we will continue to deliver clean sources of energy to Abu Dhabi and beyond."
The connection of the solar power plant to Abu Dhabi's electrical grid was a joint effort by Masdar, Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC), and the Emirate's regulatory body, the Regulation and Supervision Bureau. ADDC, Abu Dhabi's main grid holder is responsible for operating and developing the distribution networks within the emirate.
The Regulation and Supervision Bureau, which regulates and awards licensing for power generation sources in Abu Dhabi, supplied Masdar with its first licence for renewable energy power. "This is a great example of entities in Abu Dhabi working together to find solutions that will advance the emirate's goal of providing clean energy on a large scale. " We are proud to be part of this landmark achievement," said Nick Carter, director general, Regulation and Supervision Bureau.
The plant, consisting of 87,777 panels (50 percent thin film and 50 percent crystalline silicon) is projected to generate 17,500 MWh of clean energy each year (with a single kWh of clean energy being the carbon-offset equivalent of 0.8 kg depending on an area's network and its energy-producing source.) With the construction costing Dhs185m ($50m) at an installed power capacity of 10 MW, the plant is also one of the most cost-efficient PV installations in the world in terms of its projected power output.

Under the threat of lawsuit, the Los Banos City Council is expected to consider changing the system in which elections are held to be in compliance with the California Voting Rights Act.
City Manager Steve Carrigan said the recommendation will be on the City Council agenda Wednesday. He expects the council to provide direction on how staff should proceed.
Carrigan said about two weeks ago the Community Advocacy Coalition, a local civil rights group, sent him a letter requesting resolution on several issues, including switching from at-large to by-area elections. The letter was accompanied by a May 13 letter from Oakland-based Attorney Morris J. Baller demanding that Los Banos hold City Council elections by district.
At issue is the lack of Latino representation on the council.

"Our analysis of population data from census figures shows that approximately 68 percent of the total population of the city is Latino. However, none of the five current members of the City Council is Latino and there has never been a Latino City Council member to our knowledge," the letter states.
The letter goes on to say that the lack of Latino representation is a violation of the 2001 California Voting Rights Act and if there is not a "satisfactory response" by Monday, the Community Advocacy Coalition "will be forced to consider judicial relief."
Carrigan said he has met with Baldo Salcido, who is one of the leaders of the coalition, about the items his group wants resolved.
"We had a very productive meeting. They had an agenda of about eight or nine items. It was a two-hour meeting and this, the California Voting Rights Act, was one of the last items on there. We talked about it for 10 minutes," Carrigan said.
The City Council held a closed session meeting Wednesday on the issue.
"I can tell you they had a very positive response to the coalition's request on this item, (but) they really want to wait until June 4 to have the full discussion," Carrigan said after the session.
He said it is an issue the coalition is forcing the city to confront.
"I doubt if they will be going away. This is a timely item," Carrigan said.
Better representation
In a telephone interview, Salcido said his group is pursuing elections held by area because the council has been unresponsive to the concerns of its citizens. He said he has contacted Mayor Mike Villalta and Councilman Tom Faria in past years about issues involving the police and other issues and received no response or dismissal.
"They've always been in violation of the Voting Rights Act," Salcido said. "We believe Hispanics and people of color should have representation."
In the past eight years, one Latino, Linda Martinez, ran for a City Council seat. She received 18 percent of the vote in 2010.
City Attorney William Vaughn said he is not surprised at the threat of litigation given similar actionin other Central Valley cities in recent years.
In 2008 Vaughn told the Enterprise the city was researching to see if districting is the best approach for Los Banos to comply with the California Voting Rights Act. The statement was made after a lawsuit against Modesto accusing the city of violating the state act by not having Hispanic representation on its council.
Also, in 2006 Los Banos was in a lawsuit brought against Merced County by Los Banos residents Felix Lopez and Elizabeth Ruiz as well as the Mexican American Political Association. The law firm representing Lopez and Ruiz was also involved in the lawsuit against Modesto.
Two years later Los Banos was dismissed from the lawsuit - which alleged that Merced County cities - as well as 17 other irrigation, water, resource conservation and community service districts - violated the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act by failing to obtain approval from the U.S. Justice Department for more than 200 annexations and other land use changes that could have affected local election results.
According to the judgment filed in U.S. District Court on Jan. 16, 2008, a voluntary dismissal of Los Banos from the lawsuit was sought by the plaintiffs after being informed that the city received pre-clearance by the attorney general before two voting changes. The changes, which occurred in 1972 and 1973, were switching election dates and the number of Los Banos City Council seats that are voted on in the same election.
Concerned about having a similar issue to the one the city is now facing, the Los Banos Unified School District voted to hold elections by-area in 2011. In 2012 the school board's first election by-area resulted in its only Latino member losing his seat.
Salcido said he is not worried about districting having the opposite effect of its intent.
"What I'm more concerned about is the violation of the law," Salcido said. "If we don't have it addressed we will file the lawsuit."

Unseeded Thai brothers Sanchai Ratiwana and Sonchat Ratiwana dashed the hopes of defending champion Leander Paes and Edouard Roger Vasselin of France 7-6 (7) 6-1 to breeze into the quarterfinal of the Chennai Open Tennis tournament on Tuesday.
Paes, who had won the doubles title here on five occasions in the company of Mahesh Bhupathi, was partnering Vasselin for the first time and the Thai duo steamrolled the rival in the second set completely.
Vasselin was broken in the very first game and then Paes and his partner managed to return the compliment in the sixth game.
Then, the rivals won their respective games to meander the set to a tie break.
Here, the seeds trained 2-5 but Paes brought about parity to level the score at seven all before surrendering the initiative.
In the second, the Thai duo broke Paes in the fourth game after a one-all scoreline and then broke Vasselin in the sixth game, after which Sonchat held his serve for the set and the match.

jQuery Infinite Carousel Plugin
Update: The latest version of this plugin can be found here.
So I set out to create my own plugin and here's what I ended up with:
You can move between images using the left and right arrows which when clicked, pauses the carousel. To restart the autopilot feature, just click the play button in the upper right hand corner. You can also obviously pause the show at any time by clicking the pause button in the same spot. Captions are optional. When the carousel is paused, you can minimize or close the caption window. The amount of time each image is displayed, as well as the length of time the transition between images takes are configurable. There's a also an unobtrusive bar at the bottom of each image (which you can turn off) that shows how much time is left before an image changes.
Download jquery.infinitecarousel.zip. (version 1.0.1 – 7/31/2009)
What's So Great About this Plugin?
- Unlike most carousel plugins which stop when the get to the last image,
this one allows the show to go on infinitely without any user intervention.
If you have three images you want to display, after the third image has been
displayed, the first image will be next. Through some clever JavaScript, images are shuffled around so that it appears as if the carousel is a true carousel and never ends.
- Captions are optional
- It's just 9K
- Reusable on multiple containers
- You can use CSS to add padding to the carousel area so that the previous and next images are hinted at (see demos below).
How to Use
First, all of the images that you want to display should be the same size and wrapped in a containing element (I recommend a div) which must have an ID. Note that by using CSS, you can style the container (carousel) div to have left and right padding so that you can display a small amount of the previous and next images. The carousel must be a list where each list item is the image and optionally a paragraph containing the caption. See this example.

This carousel has no padding applied to it so you won't see hints for the previous and next images. Also, the progress bar could be disabled by setting just one option on the plugin.

This is the caption for the second image. The height of the caption box is an option.

It's not easy being green.

You can easily mix images types. Gif, png, and jpeg all work without any issues.

All images *MUST* have the width and height declared otherwise the plugin won't work in Safari, Chrome, and any other webkit-based browsers. Also, all images should be the same size. If you want to have a caption with an image, it *MUST* exist in a paragraph after the image.
To use the plugin you'll need to have a copy of jQuery, or point to jquery on Google, and the plugin. Place the files on your site and link to them:

Finally, make sure that your CSS contains a rule for the width of the list within your container so that it's set to a minimum of the combined widths of all your images. For example. #carousel ul {width:3000px}. At a minimum, the following CSS should be included in any page where the carousel exists (remember to change the width):
#carousel ul { list-style: none; width:1600px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position:relative; } #carousel li { display:inline; float:left; }
Check out the demos including the CSS for examples.
That's it! You can apply the infinite carousel to any number of elements on a page.
The following options are configurable:
- transitionSpeed – the time (in milliseconds) it will take to transition between two images (default 1500)
- displayTime – the time (in milliseconds) to display each image (default: 6000)
- textholderHeight – the height of the caption. This is a fraction of the height of the images. (default: .2)
- displayProgressBar – Boolean. Whether or not to display the progress bar (default: 1)
Options are added when calling the script:
$('#carousel').panelGallery({ transitionSpeed : 2000, displayTime : 10000, textholderHeight : .25, displayProgressBar : 0 });
Note that the plugin uses several images which are kept in an images folder in the zip file (/js/infiniteCarousel/images/ by default). If you store the plugin in another folder on your server, update the path to these images.
