In this tutorial we'll learn how to use Geddy by creating a simple To-Do Manager applciation.
In this tutorial we'll cover:
If you haven't already, install Node on your machine.
Next, install Geddy from NPM, this will also install Jake:
$ npm install -g geddy
We need to install it globally (-g) so we can use geddy generators or
start the server. More on this later. (Note: installing packages globally
may require super-user access
sudo npm install -g geddy)
Now that we have Geddy installed we need to learn how to use its generator
commands from the CLI. If no commands are given, Geddy will start up the server.
(if you try to run the
geddy command outside the directory for a Geddy app, it
will output a message prompting you to view the help.)
Click here for detailed docs for the Geddy CLI.
geddy gen command
If you give Geddy the
gen command, it can be used to generate applications or
resources for applications. We'll be using this command to create an app -- but
first, a quick overview of how the generator commands work.
Each of Geddy's generator commands (e.g.,
controller, etc.)
takes an or set of arguments (excluding
app <name>: Create a new Geddy application.
app takes a single argument: the name for your application's top-level
directory. You must include a name.
secret: Create an app-secret.
secret doesn't take any arguments. It will find your
config/environment file
and create a new application secret in it, deleting any other secret. This
secret is used for things like creating session tokens and anti-CSRF tokens.
By default this file is in the .gitignore file for your application. If you absolutely have to check it into revision control, you can use EJS syntax (<%= %>) in it to include an environment variable for the actual value of your secret.
scaffold <name> [model properties]: Creates a scaffolded resource.
scaffold takes one or more arguments: a name, followed by a set of model
properties. You can specify the datatype for the property after a colon (e.g.,
foo:string or bar:number).
A scaffolded resource includes a model, REST routes, a controller with appropriate CRUD actions, and views.
If you also include the options
--mustache you can substitute the template language to your liking.
resource <name> [model attributes]: Creates a plain resource.
resource takes one or more arguments: a name, followed by a set of model
properties. You can specify the datatype for the property after a colon (e.g.,
foo:string or bar:number).
Simple resources include a model, REST routes, a controller with minimal CRUD actions. It does not include views.
controller <name>: Generates a bare controller.
controller takes a single argument: a name.
A bare controller includes a controller, REST routes, and an index view.
If you also include the options
--mustache you can substitute the template language to your liking.
model <name> [model attributes]: Generates a new model.
model takes one or more arguments: a name, followed by a set of model
properties. You can specify the datatype for the property after a colon (e.g.,
foo:string or bar:number).
Generating models this way will only create a model file, and nothing else.
There are three commands (
model) that also include
model property arguments. This is a list seperated by spaces that includes the
property, its datatype and an optional flag for setting the 'default' property.
Click here to see how Geddy models are defined, and what datatypes are supported.
Here are some examples of how model properties are added:
$ geddy gen scaffold book title:string description:text
The example above will create a scaffolded model that includes a
title property
of type
string, and a
description property of type
text. (If no type is
given it will default to
$ geddy gen scaffold user name:default
This example creates scaffolding but includes
name as the default property
that will be used when displaying the content in the views.
In this example the property
name is given the type
string because no type
was given. You could have also written
name:string:default (or some other type
in place of 'string'). If no default property is given Geddy will use
id as
the default display property.
Note: the id property is always created, and managed internally by Geddy's ORM.
This will be a short tutorial as scaffolded resources make things incredibly easy. First we'll create our application -- this will create a base that we can start on:
$ geddy gen app to_do
Let's spend some time reviewing what Geddy did. The previous command created a lot.
During the tutorial we will edit and review some of these files, but we'll briefly explain what they are now so you get familiar with the base application layout.
app/controllers: contains the base controller and the main
controller. All controllers will go in this folder
app/models: Models you create will go in this folder
app/views: All templates for rendering views go here
app/views/layouts/application.html.ejs: layout used by default by
all the views
app/views/main/index.html.ejs: main view displayed when you visit
the root of your web application
app/views/errors/not_found.html.ejs: used to render 404 error pages
app/views/errors/default.html.ejs: used to render all other error pages
config/development.js: configuration for the development
config/environment.js: configuration for all your environments
config/init.js: this is where you write code that will be run only
once your app starts.
config/production.js: configuration for the production environment
config/router.js: contains route settings. It has some examples
and you can learn more about routes from the
public/: contains static assets that will be served directly by
Geddy's server
public/css/: Geddy uses twitter
bootstrap. These are
referenced by the layout file (
public/img/: contains a few images used by twitter bootstrap. Your
images will usually go here as well
public/js/: bootstrap and jquery scripts
lib: Reusable libs for your app can go here
log: Your app writes logs to this folder
node_modules: Node modules your app depends on will be installed
here by
npm install.
package.json: Defines all the important info about your app
test: Tests for your app go here. Always write tests
Jakefile Used for defining the various build tasks for your app
Now from your app's root, simply start Geddy
$ cd to_do
$ geddy
Then open your browser and navigate to localhost:4000, and you'll find the hello world page.
Look in the config directory -- the development.js file is the one that interests us here now, because we'll be working in 'development' mode, and this file is what the server uses for its configuration when starting that environment up.
Here's the contents:
var config = {
detailedErrors: true
, debug: true
, hostname: null
, port: 4000
, model: {
defaultAdapter: 'filesystem'
, sessions: {
store: 'memory'
, key: 'sid'
, expiry: 14 * 24 * 60 * 60
You can see the default Model adapter is the Filesystem adapter. That means we're just writing stuff to a flat file, and you don't need to install any DB to play around with Geddy.
In the prodution environment, you'll likely be using an actual DB like Postgres or MongoDB.
So now we want to create a resource for our ToDo items. We will create a 'title' and 'status' property so that we have some attributes to use.
$ geddy gen scaffold to_do title:default status
After this, you have to restart Geddy to pick up the newly created files.
$ geddy
Open your browser to localhost:4000/to_dos and you'll get a list of the to_dos which should be empty.
Go ahead and look around, you can create show edit and delete to_do items. We're going to make a few changes though.
The first thing we'll do is to add some validation to our ToDo model. So open 'app/models/to_do.js' in your editor and add the following lines anywhere inside the constructor function
var ToDo = function () {
// Add this inside the constructor function
this.validatesLength('title', {min: 5});
this.validatesWithFunction('status', function (status) {
return status == 'open' || status == 'done';
}, {message: "Status must be 'open' or 'done.'"});
ToDo = geddy.model.register('ToDo', ToDo);
Here we are making it so the title property is required and have a minumum of 5 characters. We also made it so the status acts like a boolean attribute but uses custom names instead of true/false. The 'message' property passed in the opts sets the error message that will show in the flash-message when an item fails validation.
We will later also change our
edit and
add views to limit the options, but
for now we will leave the views the way they are.
The auto process-restart for development-mode should pick up the changes we've just made, so go and play with the app again.
Create a few ToDo items, try to edit them, and test the validation rules. When an item can't be saved because it's not valid, you'll see an error message on the page in the session flash.
Click here to learn more about the session flash.
We've got a good ToDo application running and didn't really have to do much. Scaffolding is very good when you need something simple to get you started.
Now we're going to create another resource, and relate it to our ToDos.
Let's say that a ToDo has a number of steps to finish before the ToDo can be completed. Let's scaffold out our Step resource.
$ geddy gen scaffold step title:default description:text status
That creates the same sort of scaffolded resource we saw with ToDos.
Now we can create Steps to link to a particular ToDo. Let's quickly add some validation to ensure each Step has at least a 'title'. Add this to your Step model (app/models/step.js):
var Step = function () {
this.validatesLength('title', {min: 5});
this.validatesWithFunction('status', function (status) {
return status == 'open' || status == 'done';
}, {message: "Status must be 'open' or 'done.'"});
Step = geddy.model.register('Step', Step);
Exactly the same validation for our ToDos.
Now, let's make the changes to our models to create the association between them.
Add the following line inside your ToDo model:
var ToDo = function () {
ToDo = geddy.model.register('ToDo', ToDo);
This is pretty straighforward, but it basically means that a ToDo can have multiple Steps associated with it.
Add the following line inside your Step model:
var Step = function () {
Step = geddy.model.register('Step', Step);
This is pretty simple too -- it says that each Step is owned by a ToDo.
Now you can restart Geddy to pick up the new Step files, and navigate to http://localhost:4000/steps to see the empty list for Steps.
When you click the "Create a new Step" button, you can see the expected Title and Description fields, but no way to link them with any of the ToDo items we created earlier. Let's fix that.
When we handle the 'add' action (later, the 'edit' action as well) for a Step, we need to load the list of ToDos, so we can dump them into a select box we can use to choose the ToDo for the Step.
Open up the Step controller: app/controllers/steps.js, and look at the 'add'
action (
this.add, just a method on the controller).
Use the
all method on Geddy's ORM to load all the ToDos you've made so far,
before rendering out the 'edit' page, like this:
this.add = function (req, resp, params) {
var self = this;
geddy.model.ToDo.all(function (err, data) {
if (err) {
throw err;
self.respond({params: params, toDos: data});
What did we do here? We grabbed all the ToDo items we've created, and in the
callback, rendered our 'edit' action, passing the items (
data) to the response
as the
toDos param. Because we're grabbing all the ToDos, we're only passing a
callback and no query object to the
all call. We want everything.
Remember, this callback is an asynchronous function, so you need to declare a
self variable to keep a reference to the controller instance so you can call
respond on it.
Now we need to pass this data to the form we use to create a Step. Open up app/views/steps/add.html.ejs, and you'll see that the actual form is rendered as a partial. This lets us share the same form between the add and the edit actions.
We need to pass this list of ToDos down into the partial. Where you see the call
partial, make the code look like this:
<%- partial('form', {step: params, toDos: toDos}) %>
The params you pass in the object literal that is the second arg will become local variables in the rendered partial template.
Let's open up the partial template now, app/views/steps/form.html.ejs. We're going to dump the list of ToDos we retrieved in the controller into a select tag.
Geddy has a handy helper for this that takes away a lot of the grunt work,
selectTag, as well as a bunch of other nice helpers.
You can find the docs for the helpers here.
Just inside the container div with the class 'control-group', add this code:
To-Do for this step

<%- selectTag(toDos, step.toDoId, {
name: 'toDoId'
, valueField: 'id'
, textField: 'title'
, class:'span6'
}); %>
What did we do here? We just passed the list of ToDos to the
selectTag helper,
telling it the 'name' attribute for the select elements should be 'toDoId'.
(This will be the foreign key used by each Step to link itself back to a ToDo.)
We also set a
valueField and
textField, telling the helper to use the 'id'
property of each ToDo as the value of its option element, and the Step's 'title'
as the text displayed.
You can see that in the second param of this call, we're passing
-- this specifies what option element should be preselected. We're not using
this yet, but it will come into play when we begin editing Steps.
Refresh your 'Create a new Step' page, and you should see a select box at the top with all your ToDos in it.
Using helpers like selectTag in Handlebars works differently as compared to EJS. Since you cannot pass JSON as an argument, you will have to pass JSON arguments from the controller.
Inside the
all method on Geddy's ORM, include the selectTag helper options:
this.add = function (req, resp, params) {
var self = this;
geddy.model.ToDo.all(function (err, data) {
if (err) {
throw err;
self.respond({params: params,
toDos: data,
name: 'toDoId',
valueField: 'id',
textField: 'title'
As opposed to the EJS example above, you need not change the scaffolded code in app/views/steps/add.html.hbs because all the arguments are automatically passed so leave the code like this:
{{{partial "form" this}}}
And lastly, the selectTag helper in app/views/steps/form.html.hbs would look like this:
{{#selectTag toDos step.toDoId selectOpts}}{{/selectTag}}
Select a ToDo for this step, and save it. If you remembered to add a title and a valid status, and it passes validation, you should be redirected to the scaffold page displaying the new Step.
Verify that the association got added correctly by checking to see if your new Step has a toDoId -- this should correspond to the id of the associated ToDo.
Right now, if you try to edit one of your existing steps, the page will blow up
in your face, because the form isn't getting the
toDos variable passed in (so
it's 'undefined').
We basically have to go through the same set of steps for the 'edit' action. Open up your Step controller, and changed the edit action to look like this:
this.edit = function (req, resp, params) {
var self = this;
geddy.model.Step.first(params.id, function(err, step) {
if (err) {
throw err;
if (!step) {
throw new geddy.errors.BadRequestError();
else {
geddy.model.ToDo.all(function (err, data) {
if (err) {
throw err;
self.respond({step: step, toDos: data});
IMPORTANT: Notice we've replaced the
respondWith method call here with the
respond. The
respondWith method is very handy when all you have
is a model instance, but in this case we're passing along some other data, and
we need to drop down to the lower-level `respond' method.
Click here to learn more about the various ways to respond to a request.
Now open the corresponding view (app/views/steps/edit.html.ejs), and pass the
toDos into the partial call, like so:
<%- partial('form', {step: step, toDos: toDos}) %>
Go ahead and create a few more Steps, and link them to the same ToDo. We still have to take care of the other side of the association -- displaying all the Steps for a ToDo.
It's a similar process for the ToDo side. We need to open the ToDo controller (app/controllers/to_dos.js), and update the 'show' action to get all the associated Steps for a particular ToDo.
Change the code to look like this:
this.show = function (req, resp, params) {
var self = this;
geddy.model.ToDo.first(params.id, function(err, toDo) {
if (err) {
throw err;
if (!toDo) {
throw new geddy.errors.NotFoundError();
else {
toDo.getSteps(function (err, data) {
self.respond({toDo: toDo, steps: data});
Notice this action called the
first action to look up the first ToDo that
matches the desired id. Once we have the ToDo, we can call
getSteps on it to
look up all the associated Steps. This is a convenience method Geddy provides
automatically based on the associated model. If we had given ToDo a
hasMany of
the Zoobie model, Geddy would automatically make a
getZoobies method to fetch
IMPORTANT: We also have to do the same thing as before, with the 'update' action
for the Step: change the
respondWith method to
respond so that we can pass
the extra data of the retrieved Steps to the view.
Now open the 'show' view (app/views/to_dos/show.html.ejs), and add some code to print them out for each ToDo.
The built-in code that just iterates over properties on the object is nice to verify your item is actually saved, but it's not very practically useful. Remove that section in the bottom half of the code in the template (ignore the 'hero-unit' navigation section at the top), and replace it with this:

Status: <%= toDo.status %>

<% steps.forEach(function (step) { %>
<%- linkTo(step.title, {controller: 'steps', action: 'show', id: step.id}); %>
<% }); %>
What did we just do? We just iterated over the list of Steps returned by the lookup in the controller, and printed out a link for each one, with the title of the Step as the anchor text, and the correct URL for navigating to the 'show' action for that Step.
Check these urls out in your browser:
At this point you should have a working To-Do List app!
If you want to explore a little more, here are some other things you could do:
Main#index route to point to the
ToDos#index action
(hint, check out
Up to now we've just been using the built-in Filesystem adapter Geddy defaults to using in development mode. This just takes the JSON of the objects created, and dumps them in a flat file in your application directory (_datastore.json).
This adapter behaves very similarly to MongoDB, Riak, or LevelDB in that it's 'non-relational.' It doesn't know anything about the relationships between items in the datastore. This is fine for some types of applications, and gives you a lot of flexibility, not requiring you to know quite as much about the structure of your data before you begin developing.
But using a relational datastore -- like a SQL database -- allows you to do certain things you can't do with a non-relational store. The main ability you get is the ability to 'eager fetch' a list of associations.
This means that with our previous example, you would be able to fetch all the ToDos, and their associated Steps in one go, instead of getting the ToDos, and having to iterate over them to get all the Steps. (This is sometimes called the 'N plus 1 problem,' because you have one query to fetch your main items, then 'N' more queries, one for each item.)
In an actual production app, you'd be using a relational database like PostgreSQL or MySQL, but for this tutorial, we'll just continue using development mode, and use SQLite. It's installed already on all Macs, and it's easy to install on other platforms. If you don't have it, install it.
Then, open up the development config (config/development.js), and you'll see a bunch of different possible DB configurations. In the 'model' section, set 'defaultAdapter' to 'sqlite'. (You don't need any 'db' section for configuring the database when you're using SQLite.)
If you start up your app app now, it will blow up at this point, because you need to install the correct SQLite library for Node, for Geddy's ORM to use, and initialize the database. Use this command:
$ geddy jake db:init
What did this do? Geddy uses Jake (https://github.com/mde/jake) as a build-tool for lots of its internal scripting tasks. This tells Geddy's bundled Jake to initialize the DB specified in your production config file. This does a couple of things:
What are Migrations? Migrations are used with SQL DBs to manage the schema over time. It's very similar to versioning your programming code with an RCS ('revision control system') like Git or Subversion.
Click here to learn more about how Geddy's migrations work.
To create the tables needed by your models, you'll need to run the migrations that were initially created when you scaffolded out your models.
Run the migrations like this:
$ geddy jake db:migrate
We'll also need to create the columns needed by the association we created
between ToDos and Steps. Since Steps all belong to a ToDo, we'll need to add a
column for the
toDoId property on a Step used to link back to a particular
Create a blank migration by running this command:
$ geddy gen migration create_to_do_step_association
[Added] db/migrations/20131111135707create_to_do_step_association.js
This creates a blank migration you can fill in. Open the generated migration file, and add or remove the command for adding your foreign-key column:
var CreateToDoStepAssociation = function () {
this.up = function (next) {
this.addColumn('steps', 'toDoId', 'string', function (err, data) {
if (err) { throw err; }
this.down = function (next) {
this.removeColumn('steps', 'toDoId', function (err, data) {
if (err) { throw err; }
exports.CreateToDoStepAssociation = CreateToDoStepAssociation;
Run this migration, like so:
$ geddy jake db:migrate
Then start up your app, and navigate to http://localhost/to_dos. Verify that things work correctly -- create some ToDos, and some Steps, and associate each step with a ToDo.
If you want to rollback (down) to a specific version, provide the version number:
$ geddy jake db:migrate[1392335995]
Now we'll add the code that fetches all associated Steps along with the list of ToDos loaded in the 'index' view of ToDos.
Just specify the association you want to include in the query, using the 'includes' property on the query opts.
Change the 'index' action on the ToDo controller (app/controllers/to_dos.js) to look like this:
this.index = function (req, resp, params) {
var self = this;
geddy.model.ToDo.all({}, {includes: 'steps'}, function(err, toDos) {
if (err) {
throw err;
self.respondWith(toDos, {type:'ToDo'});
We're passing the name of the association to eager-fetch in the 'includes' property of the query -- notice we now have to pass an empty query-object to the query, to allow us to pass options as a second arg.
Note that there's no calling
getSteps on any of the returned objects, as the
query generated uses a SQL JOIN to load the associated Step objects directly in
the same query. All the Steps associated with each ToDo will be found on a
steps property on the ToDo item.
Now let's open up the list view (app/views/to_dos/index.html.ejs) to render out these Steps inline with the list of ToDos.
Get rid of the div that's displaying the id of the ToDo item. We don't need that. Replace the entire bottom section of the code with this:

<% if (toDos) { %>
<% for (var i = 0, ii = toDos.length; i < ii; i++) { %>
<div class="row list-item" id="toDo-<%= toDos[i].id; %>">

<%- linkTo(toDos[i].title, toDoPath(toDos[i].id)); %>

<% var steps = toDos[i].steps || [];
steps.forEach(function (step) { %>
<%= step.title %>
<% } %>
<% } %>
What does this code do? It adds a section underneath the title of each ToDo that renders the list of any Steps associated with it. It will do this for the entire list of ToDos, without you having to iterate on them, and run a query to fetch the Steps. This is the advantage that eager-fetch of associations gives you.

Scouts take on the bush
|The scouts headed out to Newnes last weekend to take on the bush. They spent the two nights camping with no electricity, no toilets and definitely no showers. All cooking had to take place on the fire. They packed everything in packs and were given a map in which they were given grid references to activities that challenged them to work as a patrol. After a day of hiking they made it to there new camp site where they set up camp for night two. Every scout that attended seemed to learn many new skills and have a great time. A huge that to Ethans dad Chris Cowley who come along and was an amazing help. Without Chris this camp would not have taken place. Look out for the photos

Update: Latest developments reflect focus of investigation now turning to Islamic boarding school
On Monday, Indonesia's developing investigation into the terrorist attack on the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta that killed nine people last week led them to the tiny Javanese town of Ngruki, where a small Islamic boarding school has been teaching jihad going on 20 years.
Tempo, an online Indonesian news source, said a "number" of police intelligence officers visited the Al Mukmin boarding school and The Jakarta Post reported that Indonesian investigators believe that Nur Sahid, a 1995 graduate of the school, was one of the suicide bombers who attacked businessmen enjoying their breakfasts at the hotel last week.
As the investigation has moved forward, evidence has mounted against Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), an Islamist group responsible for more than 300 murders dating back to 2000. The JI has long used the boarding school at Ngruki – which is run by its spiritual leader Abu Bakar Bashir – as a recruiting hub, making it part of a militant "ivy league," according to Sidney Jones, the leading investigator of the group,
Window on a school
Noor Huda Ismail is a 1991 graduate of the school who roomed with a number of boys who went on to join JI. He says that it's important to understand what's taught there if one wants to grasp, and ultimately undermine, the ideology behind these kinds of murders.
He's now a researcher and head of the Institute for International Peacebuilding, an Indonesian foundation that seeks to reintegrate Islamist fighters into mainstream society. He stays in touch with a number of JI's jailed activists.
"They sincerely believe what they did was right to defend other Muslims," Mr. Huda says, explaining the thinking of some of the young men indoctrinated at Al Mukmin. "That's what worries me."
The 1995 class was a particularly fertile one for terrorists. Asmar Latin Sani, a suicide bomber and one-time roommate of Huda's who helped murder 12 people at the Marriott in 2003, graduated that year. So did Muhammed Rais, who assisted in that first Marriott attack and whose sister married Noordin Top, the JI leader who Indonesian police say now leads a splinter group that arranged the latest attack and is their most wanted man.
Foreign plots and obedience
Huda says the atmosphere at the school is one of unquestioning obedience and constant warnings of foreign and Christian plots to harm Islam.
Some of the students became true believers and signed up for jihad (holy war). Others were simply naive or didn't question their superiors when asked to do favors that later incriminated them in wider terror plots. (He recalls one acquaintance who simply gave his bank account to a man who later used it to organize a 2002 bomb plot on Bali that killed 202 people.) "They were trained to be robotic and not to question," Huda says.
Still, Huda says that most of the students at Ngruki never participated in any militant activity, and that the vast majority's views grow more moderate, as his did, when they make contact with the wider world. But as long as militancy and hate are preached, some portion of students will act on that, says Huda.
Choosing a different path
"I used to think like them," says Mr. Huda of his teen years studying hard-line jihadism. "So I know that if I can change, why can't they?"
Huda went on to study communications at a leading university, work as a reporter for The Washington Post, and win a scholarship to Scotland's St. Andrews University.
Huda and Dr. Carl Ungerer, an Australian security analyst, had warned in a report issued less than 24 hours before the July 17 bombing, that JI might be planning new attacks.
The report said that after the arrest of over 400 JI members, including the death of key leaders in a seven-year US-supported counterterrorist campaign, JI's violent wing was weakened. But they warned the release of recent members from prison and a generational turnover, could reenergize JI.
My former roommate, the terrorist
Terrorism was a long way from Huda's mind when his father, a prison parole officer, enrolled him in the Al Mukmin boarding school in 1985. He was 12 years old then. Indonesia's thousands of Islamic boarding schools, or pesantrens, promise to teach moral values and religion, often to the children of poor families.
Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, elected in a landslide victory of more 60 percent of the popular vote on July 8, is a pesantren graduate. So was another of Mr. Huda's roommates, Fadlullah Hasan, who took part in the 2002 bombing in Bali.
Many of Indonesia's pesantren espouse a tolerant, pluralist version of Islam, often integrated with pre-Islamic beliefs. Some 88 percent of Indonesia's 237 million people declare Islam as their faith. A small fringe of pesantrens preach a dogmatic version of Islam, teaching students it is their religious duty to wage war on the West.
"We were taught Islam is white or black, that it [hard-line jihadism] is the only salvation there is," Huda says. "The only music we heard was ... Arabic religious songs, from cracking loudspeakers," Huda writes in an essay. In speech class, he says, he was taught that "the infidels and Jews would never stop fighting us till we followed their religion. When I was 15, it was my favorite topic, too."
They're not psychopaths
Huda, who essentially grew up with two men who became suicide bombers, cautions against seeing such men as "psychopaths." "They have their own logic and make a rational calculation about what they're doing."
At university, Huda's outlook shifted after his release from his sequestered life. University encouraged him to indulge a questioning nature that had sometimes riled fellow pesantren members. A side job as a tour guide exposed him to foreigners. "I learned they [Westerners] were nice, normal human beings," he says.
Only a minority of Ngruki graduates, Mr. Huda says, become violent jihadists or worked for JI. "Most make their way in a pluralist world," he says claiming other graduates became entrepreneurs or office workers, with one entering parliament.
Huda, now a father of one, says he keeps in touch with former JI members and prisoners, helping them find work. One project is teaching returning guerrillas from the Philippines to fatten cows for a traditional Islamic sacrifice. He also helps take care of the children of prisoners.
Huda, who says he was "mad" when moderate Muslims in Indonesia did not speak out against terrorism, says his approach is to remain deeply engaged with the fringes of Indonesian Islam that have bred its terrorism problem. "I still have the blue blood of the ground zero of radicalism," he says.

Hourglass Cosmetics has just released a new felt tipped liner, the Hourglass Script Precision Liquid Liner ($32) (available at Sephora). Unlike the earlier version, the Hourglass Calligraphy (pictured at top, above) (reviewed here) ($32), the Hourglass Script has a very, very fine-tipped point. Otherwise, both have:
- A deep, inky-black color
- Long-lasting, no-smudge and no-flake wear
- A smooth, even application and ink flow
Both Hourglass pens allow the liquid ink to flow without any pumping or twisting–the ink is deposited with slight pressure. They are both well-machined, foolproof and beautifully packaged. Both have a slight "heft factor" that is pleasant and balanced. At $32, these are in line with the price range of other high end liquid liners (Chanel's Automatic Liquid Eyeliner is $34).
I'm very comfortable applying liquid liners–fearless, in fact. Start by practicing on the back of your hand. Like Julia Child flipping a potato pancake, it's easier if you go in confident.
Let's compare the Hourglass Script, the Hourglass Calligraphy, and the Le Metier de Beaute Precision Liquid Liner ($42) (reviewed here). As shown here, the tip of the Hourglass Script is quite precise–the tip is tiny.
I was surprised to find how distinct all three liners are. You can see that when Hourglass says that the Script is precision, they are not kidding–the fine point allows you to draw an extremely fine line. It must be layered to get a thicker line.
Below, on the left you can see a light and a heavy line that I drew with Le Metier's Precision (in Noir). In the second line, you can see how lightly Le Metier's can be applied. Here, the ink isn't quite a deep and dark (it looks almost brown). Had I added another layer or two, the Le Metier would be as black as the Hourglass swatches. Hourglass Script (in Jett) is swatched in the center. Hourglass Calligraphy (in Ebony) is on the right.
Both the Hourglass Script and Calligraphy provide a deeper, blacker line out of the brush, compared with Le Metier de Beaute's.
No, you don't need all three. If you have light-toned skin, delicate features or prefer a very natural look, you will prefer the ability to draw a more subtle line that the Le Metier Precision Eyeliner allows. The Le Metier must be applied with some pressure, or in built-up layers, to get a full-on black line. "Priming" the brush helps, by holding it down on the back of your hand for a second to get the ink flowing freely (but that's a little messy).
If you want a deep, black ink out of the pen, the Hourglass delivers beautifully. Between Script and Calligraphy, it's going to depend on whether you prefer a thin or thick line.
Note that I found that I was able to get a very fine line with the Hourglass Calligraphy by using just light pressure on the very end of the tip, but it was not easy. Really, if you want a fine line then go with the Script.
However, I'm glad that I do own all three. I find myself reaching frequently for my Hourglass Calligraphy when a want a good, quick defined black line. I love the Le Metier when my makeup is very subtle. I have no doubt I'll use up the Hourglass Script, because it adds something that the others don't have–a quick, very deep black fine line that works well for my coloring and features. I love it–highly recommended.
Hourglass Script and Calligraphy were provided to Cafe Makeup for review/consideration by Hourglass.

The INDOC database contains 24.766 references to articles on labour in Indonesian newspapers between 1996 and 2009.
From 1996 to 2000 the original newspapers were transported from INDOC in Semarang, Indonesia, to the IISH, and they are now held by the IISH.
To consult the newspapers or request photocopies, please contact IISH or, for newspapers after 2000, consult specialized libraries such as the KITLV in Leiden, or the Royal Library in The Hague, The Netherlands.
The Indonesisch Documentatie en Informatie Centrum (Indonesian Documentation and Information Center) was established in Leiden, The Netherlands, in 1979 as a nonprofit, voluntary foundation for the purpose of gathering and disseminating authentic contemporary information about unofficial Indonesia, especially on issues of social development and human rights. To that end it maintained its own special documentation service in Indonesia to scan both the national and regional press in order to obtain articles on a number of select themes. These articles were sent to the office in Leiden on a weekly basis. In addition, INDOC itself subscribed to a range of newspapers, weeklies, and other Indonesian periodicals or ones that dealt with Indonesia. Most of the material thus assembled is in Indonesian, although there are some clippings in English as well. INDOC catalogued the clippings in Leiden as systematically as possible and used this material as the basis for its own publications, as well as to provide sources for interested researchers and others working on Indonesia. The IISH has microfilm of the press clippings and other documentation from the INDOC archives on labour issues in Indonesia, 1979-1995 (IDC).
In 1996 INDOC terminated its own activities, and these have now been assumed in a somewhat modified form by the IISH. The IISH Asia Department continues INDOC's documentation work in Semarang, Indonesia, albeit on a new basis. The information collected is now focused more specifically on labour issues (labour politics, labour policy, labour relations, working conditions, labour migration, strikes, etc.). At the same time, the range of periodicals covered has been expanded, especially to include newspapers and weeklies from different regions of Indonesia. IISH staff in Semarang produced and will continue to produce an index to the collection, which is available through the online catalogue.
Labour as theme
Labour, broadly conceived, was one of the themes on which INDOC regularly collected information. To be as comprehensive as possible, its documentation service kept track of many crucial issues of contemporary significance, building up an archive in the course of the years that includes information on:
- labour policy
- employment, wages, and living conditions
- working conditions
- occupational safety
- dismissals
- night work
- collective labour agreements
- labour disputes and strikes
- right to strike
- rural workers
- women workers
- migrant workers
- child labour

Ethicsprevious next
Ethics is a systematic approach to questions of right and wrong. Ultimately our ethical concerns have to do with our wellbeing as individuals and as small communities within the greater community of humankind.
Throughout human history, people have wrestled with how best to approach ethical questions--how to balance the happiness of an individual against the wellbeing of other individuals or the collective. Each ethical philosophy or religion expresses some attempt to find this balance.
Although ethics is a field of rational, scholarly discourse, the beginnings of ethics are built into our very bodies. They are rooted in moral emotions such as empathy, shame, and guilt. Moral intuition and reasoning emerge similarly in children across cultures, and they are nurtured by adults. We build on these moral emotions and instincts by making agreements with each other, weigh costs and benefits of different courses of action, looking to ethical scholars, and drawing on the wisdom of our ancestors.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsNews & Views
Mustang Countdown: Online Weekly Video Series Celebrates 50th Anniversary
The reveal of the 2015 Ford Mustang is looming ever closer and Ford has announced a new "Mustang Countdown," an online weekly video series, to kick off the celebration. These videos will revolve around the American icon and the culture that surrounds it all over the world. Come April 17, 2014 and our favorite pony car turns 50 years old.
"Where It All Started: The Mustang 1 Concept" is the first video to start the series and takes a look back in 1962 during the first debut of a car to sport the running pony badge, the Mustang 1 concept. After that, the video series will pull out a few gems from the archives as well as cover Mustang toys, custom Mustangs, racing, ultra-rare footage, exclusive news interviews, stories, and expert insights.
Another episode includes "RC Movie Magic: Filming a Chase", which takes a look behind the creation of filmmaker Zach King's viral video "The Cliché RC Action Chase." The RC Chase video received almost 3 million YouTube views earlier this year.
"Fans around the world share a passion for Mustang that embodies the freedom of the open road and the spirit of performance driving," said Steve Ling, Ford car marketing manager. "The 'Mustang Countdown' series is another way in which Ford is honoring that heritage with numerous celebrations over the next year."
Upcoming episodes will feature Mustangs in games, the Mustang's competitive heritage, custom restomods and much more.
Since 1964, over 9.2 million Ford Mustangs have been sold and it has made over 3,000 appearances over the years both in the movies and on television with popular names like Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds (original and remake), I Am Legend, Drive, and many more. In 2014 the movie Need For Speed will feature the Mustang as the leading car role, which is based on Electronic Arts long-time running video game series.

What: Jackalope Play Festival: Summer Tales of Strangeness
When: 7:30 p.m. today-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: Mary Miller Theater, 300 E. Simpson St., Lafayette
Tickets: $10
Info: 720-209-2154 or tclstage.org
Parents' guide: Appropriate for teens
LAFAYETTE -- Things that go bump in the night take center stage during The Theater Company of Lafayette's Jackalope Play Festival: Summer Tales of Strangeness.
It's a clever concept, this idea of commissioning six playwrights to compose short plays based on urban legends. It's tales told around the campfire rendered as realism.
In "Cajun Bud's Exotic Animal Ranch and Souvenir Shop" by David Golden, cosmetics saleswoman Diane (Caroline O'Brien) stumbles upon a ramshackle zoo when her car breaks down on a bayou back road. The place is run by Clark and June (Donny Petro and Judy Carlson), who greet Diane with a folksy malevolence. What kind of animal did they say that was snarling in the distance?
The performances are solid and the early tension sings. But you can see the ending of this urban yarn coming from a mile away.
Madge Montgomery's "Cousin Edna Visits" also telepaths its ending, although it showcases lively turns from Michelle Clavijo-Diaz and Rachel Ricca as cousins feuding over the fate of a woodland cabin. Their testy banter compensates for a rather heavy-handed sound design.
With "The Chupa ... Who?" writer Juan Carlos Espinoza gives us a scenario worthy of Salvador Dali: A man and his maid (Petro and Clavijo-Diaz) find a Spanish-speaking Chupacabra (Espinoza) on their property, only to discover he's a refugee. Espinoza's costume looks as if it came from a Mardi Gras fire sale (not a bad thing), yet the absurdity here never tips into political satire, for which the border issue seems ripe.
C.P. Stancich's "Voice of the Cleft" finds a grown nerd and two of his high school tormenters trekking through the woods in search of a grotto known for strange doings. How they came to be making this trek is never quite articulated, yet when they reach their goal, fear levels the playing field.
David Golden returns with "The Nature of Things," where two old codgers (Petro and Nathan Ellgren) annoy a salty reporter (Lynn Zowack) trying to tease out the details of the juicy discovery they've enticed her with. Being old men, they have a devil of a time getting to the point. It's a bit wordy, but Zowack gives the piece its kick as a journalist trying to sort facts from psychobabble.
Two plays stand out in this pantheon: Nora Douglass' "Jack Sneepalope" and Emily Golden's "Heirloom" manage to be creepy and funny at the same time.
In "Sneepalope," morticians Harriet and Irene (Vonda Utterback and O'Brien) are charged with making their cadaver customers presentable for their funerals. But what if it's a closed casket? Oh, the fun they can have with rouge. The cast shines, led by Utterback's straitlaced beautician who forsakes propriety and Brenton Daviau as a narcoleptic whose wife keeps shipping him off to the funeral parlor.
In "Heirloom," Sadie and Russel (Ricca and Espinoza) are cleaning the attic when they come across a full-length portrait of his Gran as a child (Sydney Parriott). Is it alive? Whenever Russel's back is turned, the painting taunts wife Sadie. Who hasn't wondered at the havoc a piece of art might cause if it suddenly came to life?
The point of this festival isn't fear but fun. Despite its occasional stumble, Jackalope will put a smile on your face.

Over 1.5 billion bushels of soy, valued at more than $12 billion, were exported from the United States this year, according to the United Soybean Board.
U.S. soybean farmers shipped out over 1.1 billion bushels of whole beans. Up 11 percent from last year were exports of soybean meal totaling 346 million bushels. Soybean oil weighed in at nearly 1.1 million metric tons with an increase of 68 percent from last year's numbers.
"Checkoff-funded global demand-building programs have demonstrated their success with another record-setting year," says Terry Ecker, soybean farmer from Elmo, Mo., USB International Marketing chair. "The programs work diligently to make sure that overseas customers prefer U.S. soy. The numbers prove our checkoff farmer leaders understand the importance of marketing U.S. soybeans."
China is again the top importer of U.S. soybeans with 490 million bushels, which go toward human and animal consumption. China also imported 171,000 metric tons of soy oil from the United States, which is used as a cooking oil and other food uses.
With 131 million bushels of U.S. soybeans, Mexico comes in as the second-largest importer, followed closely by Japan with nearly 100 million bushels.
U.S. soybeans also maintained a strong foothold in the European Union with Germany importing 45 million bushels, the Netherlands shipping in 43 million bushels and Spain accepting 19 million bushels.
To maintain and increase international demand for U.S. soy, the checkoff is involved in informing overseas markets about U.S. soybean production. The checkoff supports programs that increase U.S. soy exports such as foreign buying teams to the U.S. and livestock feeding demonstrations that prove the advantages of using U.S. soybeans.
Also, USB farmer leaders travel abroad to meet with farmers, agricultural associations and government officials to inform them about the quantity, quality and nutritional benefits of U.S. soy.
"These numbers show the success of the checkoff and farmers working together," says Vicki Coughlin, a soybean farmer from Watertown, Wis., and United Soybean Board (USB) director.
U.S. soybean farmers support the export of their products through their soybean checkoff. The checkoff is involved in programs to keep trade channels open and develop new relationships. The communication and education efforts of the soybean checkoff have proven most fruitful in keeping U.S. soy in over 80 countries worldwide.
Checkoff funding used to support international marketing is matched with funds from the United States Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).

A Side-Effect of Easy Tanking
In Wrath, it's a lot easier for tanks to generate threat. This has made tanking 5-man instances much easier. Not everyone is happy with this development, citing that 5-mans have become about AoEing everything down, but I think that in general it's made it easier and more fun for tanks and less skilled players.
Because of the easier threat generation, the tanks have a large lead in threat over the dps. In Ulduar, this has allowed many fights to use "Runes of Power". These are area effects where anyone inside gets a boost to their damage. As Runes of Power appear and disappear on the map, the ranged DPS has to run from one Rune to another. In TBC and 1.0, these mechanics might not have been as useful, as DPS were more likely to push threat and steal aggro.
These Runes generally do nothing for healers, so healers are free to ignore them. But DPS has to keep them very much in mind if they want to do maximum damage.
Of course, there's a limit to how much you can do with Runes of Power, as you can't make them too important without leaving melee behind. Still, it's a pretty clever mechanic that takes advantage of the greater threat generation in order to make a more interesting fight, while sparing the healers.

The runes often only increase DPS, not TPS.ReplyDelete
Easy tanking was probably a necessity. Let's face it, people can only keep track of so much, or at least an average player. If fights are going to be more interesting: mobile, um... mobile? and also mobile, tanks have to be able to focus on more than just perfectly executing an aggro rotation or risk dead DPS.ReplyDelete
It's all part of the general trend of identifying challenges which are challenges and eliminating those things which are annoying.
Heroics and 5-mans were always meant to be easy. I kinda hated the TBC heroics where you actually needed raid gear to do them effectively.ReplyDelete
As for "easy tanking" I don't see it really. The only tank and spank fight I've come across thusfar in Ulduar is XT-002. Everything else requires situational awareness and/or mobility. Threat gen's definately more straightforward than it was pre-Wrath but we'll see where it stands when DPS gets T9/T10 gear.
Heroics were meant to fill the gap between level 80 instances and Naxx. They do that very well. Many of our guildmates struggle in these instances because of poor gearing; and i'm sure we have all been in heroics where the only guy who did the instance before was you. Heroics are essential if raiders are going to learn and gear up, making the transition between solo and group play. My lament is that they are quickly becoming obsolete as only casual guilds like ourselves have a need for doing them.ReplyDelete
That's an interesting point; I hadn't thought of it quite that way before, but I suspect you're right.ReplyDelete
I'm glad we're spared the rune dance, for the most part. Freya is annoying enough, what with having to stand next to mushrooms to escape the silence. An entire instance of that would drive me crazy!

To be honest I miss TBC difficulty heroics. The reason 5 man's were harder then wasn't because of a tanks lack of ability to aoe tank, though that was part of it. The main reason however was that anymore then 2 heroic mobs beating on your tank meant that he was taking a TON of damage. Unless you were really overgeared you couldn't survive tanking a 5 pack.ReplyDelete
Now yes facerolling 5 man's and heroics can be fun in the lolIjustpulled4groupsandlived sort of way but it does nothing to teach people how to be better players. My ulduar 25 man group just made it through the outside bosses into the antechamber and the FIRST trash pull we sheeped 2 targets.
What happened next? Why people aoe'd broke the sheep and we wiped. People have been conditioned into aoeing everything to death which I'm sorry doesn't help when you run into a situation where that just can't happen.
So as far as training people how to play heroics are doing a terrible job at that. And as far as needing the gear? I'm sorry no. Give me any class any spec and 2k gold and I can have you a Naxx viable whatever. Every dps can do 2k with BoE gear and every tank can have 25k hps w/o ever touching a heroic.
The gear is there people are just too lazy to get it.
I actually hate that tanking is so easy because a lot of tanks think that as long as they have threat or the gear, it means they are good, which is NOT the case.ReplyDelete
Tanking is more involved than just threat (some tanks still fail at that) and taking hits, which is more gear dependent. Tanking is also about using all your abilities at the right time and your placement. This all comes together in a package into something I like to think of "tank sense" and that takes time to refine.
Trust me, a healer notices the difference between a good and a bad tank, especially as the difficulty in a fight ramps up.

I actually miss the challenge that was Heroics in TBC. Based on my expericence i'm going to agree on what Saravid said there as well.

I actually hate that Tanking is so easy that everyone thinks you can faceroll and tank. And thats how may people seem to think of it now.
I miss the TBC Heroics and Instances when a tank had to use Judgement and keen awareness of what mobs did and aggro distance and how to pull groups and CC mobs to manage the pull. In all of Wrath I've barely ever seen any thing that resembles CC in any way. And thats not good training in Heroics going to harder Raids for some dps that have never learned to CC or how to CC and dps around CC'd mobs.
For example all you see In Heroics almost all you see is flat our AoE and though the Tank job may be easier in Wrath I very much miss the TBC dungeons where it took some skill and awareness to tank.
I'm a fan of Hodir, because tanks have the potential to stand in the sunbeams if they're creative about positioning (getting melee dps behind him, and in beams, is priority one).ReplyDelete
Without them, tanks suffer for threat vs some classes. With them, threat is insane.
5 man tanking is easy now because warrior and druid QQ about over geared paladins easy mode tanking of heroics in TBC.ReplyDelete
i tank heroics and 10 mans with both a paladin and a death knight. paladin tank is just far superior. incoming dmg is smoother more healable(my priest friend just uses renew and pw:s on my paladin). the paladin's actual tanking spec and tank abilities give you an actual rotation versus the death knight which has no set rotation other then rotating between nukes and survival abilities (gee do i scourge strike now or do i death strike).
dps in heroics like to do things that prevent proper positioning and cause bad things to happen.
i get tired of going to a heroic with healers in 25 man gear and failing their job causing a wipe in a wotlk heroic.
Apparently one of the side-effects of easy tanking is a disappearing Rohan. Two weeks is killing my daily habits. :)ReplyDelete

The problem of the story is that Kristy has a lot of children in her family. There will be fourteen kids coming to the wedding. It?s a lucky thing the Babysitter?s Club exists to take care of them all. When the job is finished, all the club members get $200.98. The babysitters had lots of fun taking care of the kids at the wedding.
The book makes me think of the time when my uncle got married. I was a flower girl. If you like kids, and you like to babysit, I recommend this book to you, because it is funny and interesting. The author makes her characters realistic. The characters all have different personalities.

This is different for me to post something like this. I mean, yes, it is sweet...but it's also spicy and it's bacon. I'm sure many folks are sick of the whole bacon craze going on but I never dabbled in it, so this was it. It looked easy enough and although I personally am not into bacon, or into spicy things, I have a friend who is, so I made it as a gift. And yes, it was indeed easy and kind of fun to make! I found this recipe as I was browsing Tastespotting. The photos posted on the particular blog on which I found the recipe, are fantastic! My photos give you an idea of what to expect but I didn't put too much thought into setting up a good shot.
Pig Candy....isn't that a funny name? It made me laugh. Pig Candy is really tasty and I can see why so many people like it. Some Pig Candy is made with just brown sugar, some with brown sugar and black pepper. Mine is made with brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Whoo! That cayenne pepper definitely adds a kick. My bacon took a lot longer to bake than the recipe calls for. I thought about removing it from the oven sooner but I was concerned it would not be crisp enough. I'm glad I left it in. It might have something to do with the fact that the bacon I used was thick cut. In fact, I even placed the whole pan under the broiler at the very end to get it extra crisp. It didn't get so crisp that it snapped but the edges were slightly crisp. My bacon never lost it's stickiness. Even when thoroughly cooled it was still slightly sticky. I put a very thick coating of brown sugar/cayenne pepper onto each strip of bacon. As it was baking, a lot of it dripped into the pan below. After it baked and the sugar became super crunchy & carmelized, it came off in chunks from each slice of bacon. There was still a bit of the mixture attached but most ended up in the pan. I'm not sure how to prevent that but it still had an awesome sweet/spicy flavor. After it cooled, I cut mine into small pieces and put them in a Mason jar with a lid on it and a nice big ribbon around it!
The instructions say to coat each slice with the sugar mixture until you can't see the bacon underneath. That used up a lot of the mixture! In fact, after I coated one side, I had to mix up some additional mix to coat the other side.
Pig Candy
The Kitchy Kitchen
For 4
8 strips thin cut bacon
1 cup golden brown sugar
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Turn the oven on to 350 F. Meanwhile, blend the sugar and pepper together in a bowl. Taste it. If it's too spicy, add more sugar, not spicy enough, add more cayenne. However, the spice does become a little more pronounced after being cooked, so be aware of that. Lay the bacon on a cooling rack placed over a baking pan lined with aluminum foil (these means minimal clean up!). Cover each slice of bacon with the brown sugar mixture. It should be an even layer, thick enough so that you cannot see the bacon through it (about 1/8 or ¼ of an inch). Place the bacon in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar is completely browned, and the bacon has curls at the edges and appears mostly cooked. Remove the bacon from the oven and flip. Cover the bacon with the rest of the brown sugar mixture, and pop back in the oven for another 4-6 minutes, or until the bacon appears fully cooked, like crunchy, but not burnt. If the bacon seems underdone, just leave in the oven for a minute or two more.
Let the bacon cool on the rack for at least 15 minutes to let the sugar harden a bit before you start cutting the pieces. I find it's easiest to use a pair of kitchen scissors and cut the pieces over the serving bowl.
