Friday Giveaway: from Shabby Apple!
Shabby Apple is a fanciful online boutique whose specialty just happens to be pretty vintage inspired clothing and accessories. - think Anthropologie-ish with beautiful photographs and realistic price points - What impresses the artist within me most, about Shabby Apple, is that each of their collections are inspired by a theme and then each of the dresses within that collection has a coordinating name. (I love that simple cohesiveness of each collection!)
Here's a few of my top picks! The Mad Hatter collection - a whimsical Alice in Wonderland inspired line and my personal favorite - the Yosemite collection. (I would like one of each please!) I could also see me wearing one of these fun aprons from the Boysenberry collection while spending a Saturday afternoon baking! Lastly, the Oh la la collection how nice a Paris vacation would be right now!
They also have dreamy accessories, super cute heels and even a little girls clothing line! (My good friend Christine and I spent some more time, this morning, chatting on the phone with our morning coffee all while shoe shopping :)
Are you smitten with all of the pretty dresses? I can certainly see the need for a few new Spring dresses in my near future :) I'm super excited to be able to giveaway a $75.00 gift card from Shabby Apple to one of my lovely blog readers!

It's only been 13 days since our Winnipeg Jets have officially returned as a part of the NHL.
After a 5-1 home opening loss to the Montreal Canadiens, few fans could care about an 0-1 record to start the season.
Heck, half the league's teams start off that way anyways.
Then came a close 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks and their backup goalie 4-3 during their first road game.
Whatever, first road game is always the toughest – playing in front of the other team's crowd for the first time in a season, nerves probably got the better of them.
One more loss on the road for good measure – 4-1 in Phoenix to the ex-Jets (a game they were never a part of really) – and then there started popping out of the woodwork panic buttons.
Wait a minute, Pittsburgh is coming to town sans Crosby et Malkin – we've got this.
Jets win first game, at home no less, 2-1.
OK, well don't we look stupid with our panic buttons and such, we're good, here comes the wins.
Then back to the road – up 3-1 in Toronto – down 4-3 in Toronto.
And then way down 4-1 in Ottawa.
Don't even dare grab a panic button.
Sunday will mark the first two weeks of Winnipeg being back in the bigs – the NHL.
Understandably, Winnipeg sports fans, hockey fans, and Jets fans are hungry to see a winning team.
And they want to have one right now.
But you'll just have to stow away any high and lofty expectations for now because the Jets are not anywhere near the talent level of a Chicago or a Pittsburgh yet.
GM Kevin Cheveldayoff continues to advise patience to Jets fans and the media.
Speaking with TSN 1290, Cheveldayoff put it very bluntly saying: "This isn't fantasy hockey. You can't call up your buddy and say, 'Hey, this will be fun, let's do it.' Every move that you make has both short-term and long-term ramifications that will have a ripple effect throughout the organization, not only for the now, but for the future."
"Just to think that you pack up your bags and move a couple thousand miles north into a hockey-crazy market is going to turn a team from a (seventh-last) place finisher into an automatic contender – it doesn't just work that way."
Add to the hockey mad mix the demands and expectations of seventh overall pick Mark Scheifele to follow in the footsteps of ex-Jet great and his own former OHL coach in Barrie Dale Hawerchuk and the pot may begin to boil over.
True North and their executive team have made an informed and critical decision when it comes to the aspects of Winnipeg and its Jets being back in the NHL.
Patience is key.
"If you look at the organization, it has some good young pieces. Ask anyone and I think they'll agree, after six games they've seen some good things out of some young players. But they've seen some inconsistencies out of some young players and some veteran players as well." Cheveldayoff added.
Despite the conjectures, hopes, and demands of fans, Cheveldayoff added: "I love the fact that the fans think that and hope that, and I hope they never lose the passion for that because that's what drives everything."
So sure we have one of the most rabid and informed fan bases in the sport as well as one of the best management and ownership groups in the league.
My advice to fans at this juncture is to be passionate and be vocal about how great the Jets are and what they mean to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Canada.
But remember, be patient and this team could be a contender two to three years down the road.
Patience Jets fans.

The Thanksgiving travel surge is in full motion and Americans pack planes, trains but mostly automobiles. According to AAA, 43.6 million people are traveling at least 50 miles this holiday weekend. The majority going by car.
At airports like Chicago's O'Hare International, fewer people are flying compared to last year. Don't tell that to the Harris family. As it stood in a slow moving security line at O'Hare International, the crowd looked the same as last year. "We booked a month ago and got a good deal," said Mike Harris. (Read More: Black Friday Tips - How to Snag Doorbuster Deals)
Overall, this is the fewest number of Americans flying Thanksgiving weekend since 2009, even though the average domestic airfare is down 11 percent compared to last year.
Still, Orbitz says this weekend most planes will be packed. "We're not expecting a big drop in the number of people on planes. People still want to get away this weekend," said Jeanenne Tornatore, with Orbitz.
More Driving, Fewer Rental Cars
Almost 40 million Americans will take a car at least 50 miles this weekend, the most since 2007. The increase is spurred in part by gas prices holding at moderate levels. According to AAA, the average gallon of gas costs $3.41, just 6 cents more than Thanksgiving weekend in 2011.
For many people in the Northeastern United States, trying to get away is complicated by a lack of rental cars being available this weekend. Most rental car companies say they are fleets in the Northeast are almost completely spoken for because of the surge in demand after Hurricane Sandy. (Read More: 'Black Thursday' Blacklash Grows Louder)
Not surprisingly, bus and train lines are expecting to handle more passengers than normal as more people look for other ways to get home or get away.
Smooth Weekend, Solid Start to Holiday Season
For the airlines, this weekend marks one of its busiest periods of the year. And a smooth Thanksgiving weekend at airports is critical to solid fourth quarter earnings. The good news is a lack of storms means few delays and cancellations. (Read More: Happy Down-Sized Holiday)
For hotels across the country Thanksgiving is often feast of famine. In certain cities, like New York, rooms are hard to come by and the rates are running at close to $300 a night. On the other hand, your non-traditional destinations for Thanksgiving have plenty of rooms at low prices. For example, Las Vegas has plenty of open rooms, some going for as low as $96 a night.
"If you are looking for deals, they're out there. The key is to book it as a package with air fare and hotel together that way you are taking full advantage of what's available," said Tornatore.

Paul Weeks needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 43 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Logo for established veterinary hospital
Classy, professional logo with elements of the current logo on the website but updated and refined to reflect pet health care or medicine somehow. Total redesign is not out of the question. The original design was chosen because it reflects the architecture in the shopping center
Professional modern design. All greys with a splash of color is nice. Nice pretty apple type fonts are good. Reflection of the current theme would be nice so as to maintain our branding in the community. See the website for example of current logo. Somewhat masculine
Cutsie cartoonish animals, pastels or watercolor. Not too feminine. Not 4 (full) color

Is this just a coincidence or intentional of Ryukishi?
When the Incidents occured, in terms of Zodiac is was the time of Libra.
Imma quote it:
You see, it just kinda made sense to me that she first appeared after Eva solved the Riddle then things going haywire in EP 3.
As in:
Eva solving the Riddle caused the Black Witch to possess people thus causing the deaths of Rosa onwards.
Of course just a speculation:
Kyrie and Rudolf suspected Eva of having solved the Epitaph and took Hideyoshi to question him perhaps even threatening him to tell the location, however he didn't know and they went to kill him.
Would it be too farfetched to say:
Yasu tried to put an end to them resulting in their deaths but Hideyoshi having been killed by them, this being why during the battle Hideyoshi was absent while Leviathan and Belphegor battled them, because he wasn't a target of Yasu.

If Maria had been around the Black Witch would have had proabbly the form of her mother.
Honestly I doubt Eva truly solved the riddle in Ep 3. I think she was handed the solution by Yasu. After all in Our Confession Beato showed the room of the gold to Krauss and Natsuhi. It's possible this time she did it with Eva hiring her as accomplice but something went wrong.
Maybe Rosa saw them and tried to blackmail Eva or something. Eva believes Shannon/Yasu is aiming only to make a game but Yasu doesn't trust Rosa and so with Maria's help she lead her out and kill her. However, when Maria sees her mom is dead she complains and, for fear Maria will tattle things out she's forced to kill her as well.
Kyrie however gets suspicious Eva knows something they don't and think that interrogating Hideyoshi is the easiest way. They lure him out with an excuse then Kyrie takes the gun Hideyoshi was holding (when they left the house it was Hideyoshi and Rudolf who had the guns but later Hideyoshi hands it to Kyrie to carry the things she was supposed to carry), plannning to force an answer out of him. I think there's a huge chance Yasu killed them, possibly in front of Hideyoshi, he complained with her as he too believed it was supposed to be a play and ended up killed by a dying Kyrie either because she believed him to be an accomplice or because he ended up on the fire line between Kyrie and Yasu (it would be the same ending Leviatan met and in the manga it was heavily implied Hideyoshi was shot on his back by Kyrie's gun while he was in front of Eva-Beatrice, while scolding her).
From this moment Eva is starting to doubt things. His agreement with Yasu but also the people on the insland.
It's also possible Eva doesn't know who Yasu was supposed to be, maybe he only talked with her through the phone like Natsuhi does in Ep 5 so, to Eva, everyone can be 'Beato' which would explain why, once George is found dead, Eva doesn't grab Shannon and kills her a second time.
However there's no way to prove who died first, if Hideyoshi or Eva and Kyrie so your explanation is also possible.

In that sense it is largely different from 'An Offering to Nothingness', more on that later though. Ange even says that no matter how many countering truths people create in the end, she will create her own Golden Truth and keep her family with her, she does not condemn the witches in the end, she merely says that she will no longer commit to being their plaything. In the end, she creates as much a 'fantasy' or a fictionalized account of real events as the witches do, only her version is her's and her's alone.
Coming back to fairness. Fiction can be fair, that is correct, but reality will not care for playing fair, providing you with clues and hints. But where "AOtN" flat out denied mystery fiction as a form of entertainment, Umineko goes for the fictionality of everything by claiming that reality is always just a construction from the imperfect knowledge we have of the completeness of existence around us. That is why I enjoyed Chiru just as much as the first four arcs, because it played with that and even took it a step further.
In that context I have to say, I like rules like those of Knox and Van Dine, but I love it even more to dismantle them and understand why exactly they were used, what they meant in their respective context and in the end turn them on their head. In the end the Eiserne Jungfrau does not control reality by forbidding certain elements, they can merely test if the real world allows their rules to exist.
I don't have to find a groundbreaking novelty in a work to find it fascinating. Merely the playing around with elements that are taken for granted might be enough to spark my interest.
In classic mystery fiction the angle of the legend-motive was used by the culprit to spread suspicion into every possible corner and push attention away from him or herself by using a well-known supernatural narrative. In Umineko it rather seems to be that one person (guilty or not) tried to gather all guilt into him/herself to give life to a supernatural tale that did not exist prior to this.
In that way I understand why it is often compared to 'AOtN'. You can read this plot synopsis (part of it was taken from a Japanese blog because I didn't remember all specifics) if you want.

Let's flip the chessboard around on Ryukishi. What could he be trying to do by not presenting us with a "strong enough" motive by the one who confessed- the one who was supposed to have orchestrated this all?
Could it be that Ryukishi wants us to continue searching then? Want to see what I see? I see discussion for a series which ended two years ago continue on without end. I bet this is exactly what he intended.
I believe there is a truth to what KNM says, when he talks about a difference between a "the official truth" and "the hidden truth" I believe that there is a truth that Ryukishi kept hidden.
Where is the evidence for this? Where in the story is it?
It's in Prime.
It's on the Meta-Level.
The highest Meta-Level there is: our hearts.
The truth lies inside everyone of us. Without love the truth cannot be seen. But how then are we supposed to find the truth?
Let's look at EP2. Their guts, their abdomens, all that was apparently cut open. It was really the culprit's way for looking for the truth inside their hearts. Again, see where Kanon gets staked according to the TIPS? In fact let's look at all the arcs 1-4...He's almost always stabbed in the chest... the heart! Yasu is gouging out his own heart to search for the truth!
This is again echoed in EP7 during the Tea Party. How does Bern find this truth? From gouging out every single piece of Claire's body, and Ange in EP8 tried creating a truth from her own blood.
The answer is literally flowing within our own veins. We are Prime.
Actually, I was going for something a little more serious about the Rule Z thing, but something distracted me and I lost it.

So speaking of prime, a while back the idea of what happened in prime interested me and I decided to see if I could reason it out.
Looking at the Episode 1 tea party the cousins are talking about, what a shame looks like it's a fantasy story when I thought it would be a mystery. So if we use some reasoning based on what we already know we could conclude that this the cousins reacting to the story that was just told. After that Battler tries to prove it was a mystery and tries to solve Yasu's mystery. Using this infomation it wouldn't be hard to reason out that the 2nd games meta scenes are just Yasu and Battler having a debate over Yasu's mystery.
Since we know land was the actual third story instead of banquet I'm going to rule that out... for now. However Ryukishi stated in an interview that land's puzzles were broken up between 4-6 so let's use that information. Perhaps after Battler got done with the story and truly thought about it finally solved the riddle. We could also assume this Vergilius character might be someone like Erika who just washed up on the island. Battler than lays the smack down on this Vergilius character. Later Yasu admits his/her condition to the cousins however the cousins are still all in love with each personality so they have some form of duel, not to the extent of the meta obviously, and George ends up winning.
Meanwhile someone solves the Epitah and decides to kill everyone, let's say Rudolph and Kyrie cause that's an easy one to make. Battler gets called out by Rudolph so Rudolph can try and convince him to join them and gibbly garbably goop happens and Battler ends up running off with Yasu, Eva survives the attack and becomes a scapegoat for whatever reason (Maybe instead of Rudolph and Kyrie it was George and that's why Shannon left him or perhaps this Erikaish character as shown in the 6th game.) Later on Battler writes forgeries and we already know the rest.

Maybe there's just a guy named Tohya who isn't sure if he's a guy named Battler, or if there was a guy named Battler. Maybe there's not a guy named Tohya. I mean, there wasn't, but I mean maybe there wasn't... in the story. Except there was in the story, so... you know what, screw it, this is getting too weird.
At the very least, "Prime" is nothing more than a construct we readers theorized might exist. I have no idea if it must exist. Hell, I have no idea if Ryukishi even thought about this issue. Although if he had, Chiru might've been more interesting.

Actually, I wouldn't have minded if Umineko had been a story about how truth can't be reached in the real world if it hadn't tried to involve me in a game about finding it and then had refrained from giving me clues. Ironically Ange has more clues than we has at least about Prime as she had read Eva's truth and has likely the official info about the crime and possibly some extra info she might have discovered.
But what seems unfair to me more than not being told what happened in Prime is the gameboard. There are things you can't simply figure out.
Sure, once I know the truth I can build my golden truths over whatever theory I like but that's not really a game between me and Ryukishi as I can't check his answer and he can't check mine unless I don't post them in a place he'll end up seeing (and I don't really think he checks all the Japanese blogs/web/journal/whatever about Umineko).
In short it stops being a game between the two of us and becomes a solitaire only, at this point, I can twist rules so that my answer will work.
Like writing a fanfic about a series that had been left unfinished.
Now, I wrote MANY fics about a certain series that had been left unfinished and it can be funny but when I started Umineko I was under the belief it was a complete work.
I guess it has to be expected as Ryukishi isn't one of the world's best writers so he can make mistakes so maybe it's unfair to expect a perfect work from him.
And yes, it definitely has some common elements with Umineko that would make it an even more interesting reading.

On my last reading of Alliance's murder-the-five-escapers scene, it really stood out to me that Kanon alone was shot in the chest... and of course that his was the only corpse that wasn't discovered.

Yo guys! I'm back from the dead!
I see that not much has happened since I was away and seemingly not much has been concluded. You guys are still talking about some of the old mysteries that has plagued us during Umineko's EP releases, and I'm just loving it right now.
Of course, I didn't leave without some theories in thought. I'm still under the notion that the nature of the entire game, in its entirety, is that of a Logic Debate. I figured that the Witch Hunters, Ikuko, Tohya, Ange, and various others were discussing the matter in 1986, thus making up the "Meta" scenes that we see. The actual stories are of course the original Letters and the Forgeries of which we are trying to seek the answer.
Knowing this much, I had to figure out the nature of Red, Blue, and Gold Truths. Red Truths seem to be same in nature as postulates or assumptions that theories are based on. Blue Truths are basically arguments in nature. Gold Truths, however, are something puzzling; sadly, I couldn't figure out anything for them beyond them being opinions of some sort.
With all that out of the way, I could focus on the actual mysteries (which is hard to do since every other scene was Meta or Fantasy).
Basically, I had to get rid of all notions of Colored Truths and just stick to the text much like I would any other mystery. I understand this is a very unorthodox and possibly foolish thing to do but I was actually able to figure alot off of doing so.
What I was able to figure out was that the family did learn of Kinzo's death during the conference. My initial evidence would be the Adults' growing interest in the subject in each episode. There's also considering that the Siblings would keep track over Kinzo's finances (which I think Kyrie had confessed in doing) in order to stay on top of their inheritance and thus have figured out that Krauss was doing something with it.
I also theorize that they knew of Beatrice's existence as well but, first, the family would have to solve the epitaph. After doing so, Beatrice's (or Yasu's) would be introduced to the family not only as Kinzo's illegitimate child but also the new head of the family. The moments where she meets members of the family in the Letters and Forgeries might be a reflection of this. Again, nothing concrete and, as of the moment of formulating this theory, I'm disregarding anything can give it substance.
And, of course, Yasu isn't the killer (in Prime). I believe Battler's words to her at the end of EP8 is confirmation of that.
I'm, of recently, converting to the George Prime Culprit Theory. I must make the distinction that I don't believe he is the culprit of the murders in the Forgeries and Letters, as posited by George Culprit Theory. Rather, he's the culprit in Prime by flipping the switch and detonating the bombs. He does fit the bill since Yasu's confessions of being Shannon and Kanon as well as the head of the family would possibly make him snap.
I figured this from postulating that the culprit must not care for the gold neither his own family nor the servants. Under these conditions, no one would fit the bill. However, assuming that Yasu came out with the truth, the two people who would be most affected by it would George and Jessica. George seems to be the most likely to go crazy from it due to his dedication towards their relationship. I don't mean to pull a Kinzo pun here, but I wouldn't put it past George to go crazy due to heartbreak.
Now, if someone wouldn't mind putting up anything that would go against or for this. I did do this disregarding Red Truths, so I'm not sure whether any of this is even remotely close to right.

Didn't Ange use it to affirm Battler was still alive? I doubt the consensus was he was, expecially since Bern had just declared him dead in red.
Beato the elder used gold also to say that what MoeBeato did was magic and we know Erika would have declared it a trick (actually she had explained in that same episode how that trick worked)
Gold seems more personal belief, which can match with the red truth or not, which can be shaked by an opposing red truth or stay firm.
Interesting enough I like to link blue and gold truth to Bern and Lambda.
To turn true the blue truth you might have to go through tons of possibilities, which is what Bern does when she search for words for her miracle.
Interesting enough this reminds me of when Battler compared the blue truth to a machine gun and began tossing them one after the other.
For the gold truth to be true for the person that uses it, you need determination, a certain will, which is what Lambda rewards. And, if your determination is strong enough, your gold truth for you is surely true even if the red truth says the contrary.
At least that's my theory.

It gets worse when you try to fit Will's usage of it during his denouement. Its either a straight lie, or people were convincing themselves, despite evidence against it, of a particular truth.
I dont think its a straight up lie, if it was then he'd be parroting the illusion line. If people seem to be convincing themselves under duress it seems to defeat the intent of it being good and golden. But who knows whats good anymore? Hiding the culprit seems to be morally a good thing in this story.

I don't think it's a consensus or faith, in that the people creating it don't have to believe it. We know for a fact that the accomplices in Our Confession don't believe it because they have to be coerced into participating in it. Hell, Beatrice doesn't seem to believe it. The importance of the golden truth is more who it's being presented to than who is creating it. I presume this is part of the reason it's described as sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker.
To a person who is inclined to prefer to believe the golden truth or who doesn't know better, it is superior. To a person who won't accept it or who has definitive evidence or knowledge to the contrary, it is inferior. Likewise in a situation where everyone believes it, having all the truth in the world to counter it won't have any effect. In encompasses lying, faith, and consensus, but isn't any one of those things unto itself.
And I think it's clearly implied by the Chick/Elder Beatrice dialogue that they both know that Erika's explanation of the trick is correct, but because they are the only two people who saw it happen, they are free to agree that it was magic and nobody can say otherwise (they can explain a trick that works very much like it, but they can't prove that trick was actually employed because they didn't see it done).

No one actually died on Rokkenjima in 1986! Everything is a game being played by the cousins.
Valkama pointed it out:
Here's how it happened:
Yasu was so elated over the fact that Battler would be arriving to the conference that year. She wanted to be sure that he would remember her promise. She wanted to make him remember the relationship they had. So she staged a murder mystery game.
Not a game like "let's all bribe everyone to pretend that they are dead, but then I'll actually kill them if he doesn't get the answer right," but rather: "Battler, let's sit down. I have a riddle I want to read to you."
She wrote up these three "letters" and framed them as messages from a different kakera.
Because Battler was denying Beatrice, Yasu was getting upset... the end of that first tea party was Yasu reminding Battler that she does have the "power"to kill everyone... even if it is only on paper.
However, Yasu misplaced Land and so it was "lost." Battler realized that he did in fact, forgot Yasu's promise. He could only remember bits and pieces from six years ago. However, he was able to arrive at the truth in Yasu's stories, so he took his turn. This time, instead of being message bottles from the event, he framed his as being written from himself: the amnesiac, as a joke to the fact that he had forgotten his promise to Yasu.
So now it's Battler's turn. Ange was actually there, and he felt bad because while all the other cousins were kind of enjoying hearing about the fantastic ways and their heroic efforts to save the ones they loved, Ange was left out. Battler, being the loving brother he was, wanted her to participate.
I'm actually a little confused as to why Battler gave her such a strange role. Bern telling Ange that since she was not there, she could not be placed on the gameboard in EP4, but then in EP8, Battler was able to place on her on the gameboard.
I believe that this was at first Battler and the rest trying to get Ange happy by having her "participate" but at the same time have her out of their way. I'm guilty of doing very similar stuff with my little sister: I used to give her a remote control that wasn't hooked up and told her that she was playing. She ate that up.
Once Battler's turn came up though, it wasn't really his game against Yasu anymore, but rather the others. Have you noticed that Bern and Lambda take bigger roles in Tohya's games versus Yasu's? Perhaps they're the other players who were there that night...
Erika was a representation of the fact that the other players hadn't completely understood the rules, or even the point Yasu was trying to make to Battler. Battler was enjoying his time with Yasu, but wasn't enjoying the company of the others. That is how the main character of his favorite novel became the villain: she was a representation of people from outside who weren't understanding them. Geez, they're a couple now. Give them some privacy!
However, George and Jessica weren't happy with having their own mothers appearing to be as culprits. They kept trying to twist everything around and turn it into Kyrie and Rudolf culprit theory.
Ange has an overactive imagination as a child. She's hearing all of this going on, reading through the "forgeries" and imagining that these really are things that are going to happen that night. What then will happen to her in the future? Surely she will have to live with her grandparents with the Sumaderas. But if Eva survived, surely she would live with her instead. But look, she's Beatrice, right? She's bad. And all her grandparents talk about is money anyway, so if there's all this gold that Eva is going to give to her! But now they're talking that her own parents are bad!
Ange is really scared. She can't tell the difference between the game and reality. And so Battler tries writing up a game that's neither happy nor painful. But this proves difficult because he's still technically playing with Yasu, and now George and Jessica keep trying to create their own games, and all Battler and Yasu want is to be alone together. They completely destroyed the meaning of Yasu's Beatrice in their forgeries, and that is why there is this theme in EP8 about letting the catbox remain closed. Battler tries teaching Ange a lesson about "truth is what you make it or something" and she can either learn to accept it and let the box remain close (and return home from the conference knowing that the possibility could exist that her parents aren't the culprit) or she could continue on living in fear for the next day wondering if she was actually going to die like in the forgeries.
And that is what Umineko is. Renall is right when he says that one can't even tell if Tohya and Ange of 1998 are Prime are not, and that we don't even know if Battler and EVa really survived. This basically states that Battler and Eva did survive, but only because there was nothing dangerous or lethal to kill them. Nothing happened, except all the cousins had gathered and they all were able to laugh together.

I think your Touya's explanation can pretty much be R07's reasons for creating the Golden Truth.

Forensic expertise and the exchange of forensic data is vital to international investigations.
INTERPOL maintains databases of fingerprints, DNA profiles and facial images, allowing police across the world to make connections between criminals and crime scenes. We also provide training to police in our member countries, to ensure that frontline officers have the knowledge and skills necessary to assess, preserve and share evidence in line with best practices.
New Format for Biometric Data Exchange
INTERPOL is in the process of updating its guidelines on how users in its member countries should implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard for the exchange of biometric data. The INTERPOL AFIS Expert Working Group has reviewed the current implementation guidelines and has proposed an updated version.
The draft document is available for review and provide feedback. As a technical document intended for the development of biometric exchange between AFIS and biometric systems, we welcome comments from users and experts in the field.
The proposed implementation package is available online at the following link: https://bitbucket.org/int_faas/interpol-implementation-for-ansi-nist-itl-standard/src/master/. Comments and feedback can be provided directly through the link.
The review period will close on 15 September 2018; all feedback must be submitted by this date.
Fingerprint evidence plays a crucial role in criminal investigations. Since a person's fingerprints are unique and do not change during the course of their life, they can be used to quickly and efficiently confirm or disprove a person's identity, for example, in checking a suspect at a border crossing.
In addition, finger marks can be collected at a crime scene and have the potential to link a series of crimes together, or to place a suspect at the scene. Fingerprints play an equally important role in identifying victims following a disaster such as a cyclone, earthquake, bombing or other attack.
INTERPOL's fingerprints database
At INTERPOL, we manage a database of fingerprints, containing more than 181,000 fingerprint records and almost 11,000 latent fingerprints (as of December 2017).
Authorized users in member countries can view, submit and cross-check fingerprint records using I-24/7, INTERPOL's secure global police communications network, via a user-friendly automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS).
Law enforcement officers can either take fingerprints using an electronic device such as livescan or portable biometric devices or can take them manually using ink and paper then use a special scanner to save the data electronically in the appropriate format.
They then submit the data to the INTERPOL General Secretariat to be uploaded to the database. Records are saved and exchanged in the format set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
We actively encourage member countries to use the database as extensively as possible, in accordance with INTERPOL's Rules on the Processing of Data, and increase the number of relevant fingerprints in the system.
Fingerprint Data Quality
In order to assist member countries improve the quality and quantity of fingerprint records submitted to INTERPOL AFIS, we have prepared two documents: Guidelines concerning Fingerprints Transmission and Guidelines concerning transmission of Fingerprint Crime Scene Marks.
In 2017 we made more than 2,000 identifications as a result of increased data sharing and comparison by member countries.
Innovation – AFIS gateway
The INTERPOL Fingerprint Unit provides a service called AFIS gateway, which allows member countries to submit remotely a fingerprint search (INT-I standard compliant file) against the INTERPOL AFIS database and receive an automated response. We implemented in 2010 a new AFIS which is capable of searching and filing palm prints and latent palm marks.
Automated ten-print verification has been introduced, along with a high-volume search facility that allows more than 1,000 comparisons per day against the INTERPOL fingerprint database which runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Sharing best practice
An International Fingerprint Symposium takes place every two years. Attended by the Heads of National Fingerprint Bureaus, INTERPOL representatives and private companies, it provides an opportunity for experts from around the world to share best practice and latest developments.
In addition to the Symposium, INTERPOL organizes an AFIS experts' working group (IAEWG). This takes place twice a year and is a forum for discussing new technology, identification procedures and training needs, and for ensuring that INTERPOL's systems comply with the necessary standards.
The group has agreed the INTERPOL Implementation of ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2007: access version 5.03 here (dated 7 April 2011).
Every two years INTERPOL organizes an International Symposium on Fingerprints. The three-day event is attended by delegates from all INTERPOL regions while leading AFIS vendors are also invited to present the latest developments in AFIS technology.

What's the difference between what people, or things created by people,say and what they mean? Why is that difference often so great? This blog about media,the psychology of consumer behaviour, visual communications,and the strange cultural history of advertising will investigate what things say and what they mean and what that says about the strange strange world that is us.


text: Test Plots: Close and Seal the Deal February 8, 2013 08:47 PM Tweet The closing wheels were evaluated with replicated 50' stand counts that were taken every 48 hours after first emergence. © DARRELL SMITH TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Margy Eckelkamp Director of Content Development, Machinery Pete Email Three-year study examines closing wheel designs To answer questions about the options available for closing systems, Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie organized a multiyear test plot to look at the various planter closing wheel designs. "One reason why there are so many options available is that farmers are planting into a variety of seedbed conditions," Ferrie says. "The field conditions are what drive the type of closing system for your planter." Today, Ferrie groups the closing systems into the following three categories: solid wheels, spiked wheels and firming spiked wheels. "The purpose of the closing wheel system is to crush the sidewall, close the furrow from the bottom up and firm the soil over the seed to prevent it from drying out," he says. "Solid rubber closing wheels are designed to do this in conventional tillage. As farmers transition to reduced tillage or no-till, the rubber wheel will come up short, and the slot is left open, which is a disaster for corn stands. We have to focus on closing the slot." To gain in-field experience, Ferrie outfitted an 8-row Kinze planter with several closing system combinations. The center four rows had solid rubber wheels on two rows and solid cast wheels on two rows. The outer two rows on each side had the following closing wheels: Copperhead Furrow Cruiser; Exapta Thompson; Great Plains Spider; Martin Spader; Pro-Stitch; Schaffert Mohawk; S.I. Distributing Close-N-Till; S.I. Distributing Finger-Till; Yetter Close-Till; Yetter Cast Spike; and Yetter Paddle. The alternative wheels to the solid rubber and solid cast are primarily designed for tough conditions to condition the sidewall and adequately close the furrow. To understand how the wheels perform in a range of conditions, Ferrie included varying seedbeds in the three-year study ranging from no-till sod to vertical tillage with a spring harrow pass. "In a conventional seedbed, the primary concern is that the soil will dry out, causing poor germination or poor crown root development, which sets us up for rootless corn," Ferrie says. "Alternatively, in no-till it's harder to get the slot closed above the seed. For example, the rubber tire does a good job of firming in conventional tillage, but it will have trouble crushing and closing the sidewall from the bottom up in no-till." Unlike other Farm Journal Test Plots, this effort was not evaluated based on yield results. Instead 50' stand counts were taken at first emergence and every 48 hours until the counts didn't continue to increase. The stand counts were located in multiple management zones of the field for each closing wheel. "We know it's important for a field to emerge uniformly, to establish photocopy plants, which leads to photocopy ears, which leads to more yield," Ferrie says. "To that effect the closing system has the job of securely closing the furrow and eliminating air pockets to improve the chance of even emergence." The right one. The closing wheel designs are categorized by the type of action they provide. Solid wheels pinch the furrow closed from the bottom up. Spiked wheels are designed to crush the sidewall. The firming spiked wheels are designed to provide both crushing action of the sidewall and firming above the seed. "One challenge with the spiked wheels is that on their way out of the furrow, they can bring soil with them," Ferrie says. "But our study will tell you that straight tines do a better job of crushing the sidewall then curved tines or solid wheels in the tough planting conditions like wet no-till or sod fields." At the end of the three years, Ferrie concluded that in the tougher conditions the solid cast iron wheels in a staggered position were tough to beat. In the more mellow conditions, the solid rubber wheels performed well. However, in the toughest no-till conditions there were times the solid cast wheels did not close the slot and it was a disaster. That is where the alternative styles can get the job done better. Ferrie also paired spiked wheels with a solid wheel on a single row. "If I were in the field and not getting the closure I needed with two solid cast wheels, I'd make the lead wheel on each row a spiked wheel. If that didn't provide good closure I'd switch to two spiked wheels," he says. Needed wheel accessories. As part of the closing system test plot, Ferrie also included several add-ons—a drag chain, the Yetter firming wheel and the Exapta wedge. "I advocate for farmers to consider dragging a chain behind their closing system. It will eliminate air pockets, and we saw that wherever we added the chain, we improved our uniform-ity," Ferrie says. "The one thing to be mindful of is to have the proper distance behind the spiked wheel closing system so that is doesn't flip back and catch the closing wheels." Another add-on to the closing system Ferrie tested was the Yetter Firming wheel. "In an ideal world, farmers would change out their closing systems according to the field, but that would take more time and resources than the average farmer would give," Ferrie says. "We've found that this firming wheel can make a more universal fit for the spiked or firming spiked wheels when they are too aggressive for the environment. Unlike the chain, it firms the soil over the furrow." The firming wheel reduces the air pockets around the seed while also firming the furrow. To make a wheel more aggressive in its pitch relative to the furrow, the Exapta wedge can be added to the wheel's bolt. "These wedges can be set to make the closing of the slot and the crushing of the side wall more aggressive," Ferrie explains. "But they won't help to firm the soil." One piece of equipment Ferrie says farmers should consider including with their closing system is a seed firmer. "It helps get the seed securely at the bottom of the furrow and into moisture," he says. "This is definitely important for even emergence." For each farmer, Ferrie emphasizes that it is necessary for them to evaluate the job their closing wheels are doing to securely close the furrow around the seed. "Get off the planter, do a cross section of the furrow and see how well you are doing," Ferrie says. "Then if you are having problems crushing the sidewall, closing the slot or eliminating air pockets, use the tools available on the market to ensure the furrow closes," he adds.

Pattaya, Thailand- Pattaya Exhibition And Convention Hall (PEACH), an important flagship of the Royal Cliff Hotels Group, successfully hosted the 29th TEMCA Annual Seminar and Exhibition from August 16th – 17th, 2013.
Established since 1985, Thai Electrical & Mechanical Contractors Association (TEMCA), has made its mark in Thailand's electrical and mechanical industry with a membership of more than 380 companies. The organization has held Thailand's biggest electrical & mechanical products showcase and seminars at PEACH for a number of years in an effort to provide its members the chance to network and socialize.
The 2-day event brought back together over 2000 consultants, contractors, designers and end users to the massive halls of PEACH for dealer-consumer interactions, collaborations and exposure to the latest electrical and mechanical products. All throughout the vast exhibition space utilized for this event, exhibitors assembled to showcase the latest innovations and technologies that are now available in Thailand.

I am trying to set up a bare minimum interface for the guest user, and am having trouble removing the 'show statistics' and 'show shortcuts' from the left frame. I'd also like to remove the 'folders' and 'genres' drop downs from the search area on the left as well, but it's not as important.
Does anyone know which .jsp file that setting is in? I've removed those sections from the 'left.jsp', but that hasn't removed them from the menu.
Any help would be appreciated, especially if someone can point me to the docs where the web menuing system is explained.
I'm using version 5.1.5200 on Windows.

Sarah Levinson needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 153 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
A Global Asset Management Company is looking to modernize the existing design for their new, branded "Universal Desktop", which will be used across all functions in the company. The goal is to create a fresh, forward-thinking design that will serve as "eye-candy" for the user of the application.
Universal Desktop
The Universal Desktop is a liquid desktop where all applications in a given workflow are available in a user-friendly, panel-based environment. The look and feel of standard applications such as Microsoft Word or Lotus Notes will be wrapped into the Universal Desktop's container, or skin. Applications and tools will become workflow functions as part of the Universal Desktop, as opposed to individually branded, stand-alone applications.
Below is a link to the original design spec, which we are looking for you to update for 2009.
For your reference, the liquid, universal desktop includes the following functionality (as you will see in the spec):
Main Work Area (Workspace)
- Buttons along the left side of the desktop show each different book of application clusters – these can be represented as books or buttons or whatever you see fit for your design.
- There should be a standard shell or wrapper for each application / workflow function.
- Tabs along the top of each shell will allow navigation to various clustered applications in a three-level hierarchy.
- Each tab includes navigation at upper right for "Forward", "Back" and "Maximize/Minimize" buttons.
- The bottom of each tab includes navigation for seeing the user's "history" and "road-map" and the ability to drop the active file in the workspace (currently the file folder icon but this image is flexible) to a toolbar along the bottom of the desktop– to email, fax, print the file, and so on.
- As stated above, at the bottom of the desktop there is functionality allowing the individual to email, fax, or print the active file in the Workspace, or add it to his or her calendar.
- Additional tools are available in the toolbar, including a favorites page, a calculator, a quote lookup function and the help tool.
- Icons are flexible based on your discretion.
Information Center
- The panels along the right side of the application are meant to show informational tools built directly into desktop that will run constantly in the background, no matter what applications the individual is using in the Workspace.
- In the "Alerts" panel in bottom right-hand corner, the application design includes highlighting which alert button is currently showing, and light up buttons to show new alerts in yellow and important alerts in red.
Our color scheme is usually varying shades of blue, but we are open to creating a new color combination specifically for this application. However, we would like to add our logo in the bottom left corner (included in the link above) so the colors should not clash with this.
The initial end user of this desktop will be internal operations professionals. Ultimately, we will expand usability to include our front office professionals such as portfolio managers and traders.
Once we have a contest winner, we will be taking the design still provided to us and creating a flash presentation to highlight the functionality in a dynamic way for our Management Team.
Our main design goal is to connote usability and cutting edge technology. We want to modernize this application and take it to the next level. We want users to feel as though they are working with something fluid and dynamic, and that they are a part of the next generation of Technology for the Finance world.
- Your submission should include an updated design for the original still we have provided. If you would like to submit additional views, this is welcome but not required.
- The application container should have some mass to it, but still be lightweight and easy to follow.
- Accepted formats for entries are .bmp, .gif, .tif or.jpg.
- There should be a corporate, professional feel to the design, but we also welcome outside the box ideas. Our goal is to have something cutting edge and professional.
- We ask that you provide only original design concepts, and we ask that they have usability.
- Anything too overdesigned.
- Too much clutter.
- Stale, old or stereotypical technology design.

Univega were one of the original American mountain bike companies. Their presence in Britain has dwindled in recent years, but that's set to change thanks to new distributors BikePlaza who have a promising lineup of bikes for 2010.
The bikes are built by German group Derby Cycle, who also own Focus and make Raleigh and Diamondback bikes – and that link is apparent in some of the designs. For example, some of the full-suspension models use the same Knucklebox suspension platform found on models from both Focus and Diamondback.
Derby's head of marketing, Herwig Reus, told BikeRadar that Univega prided themselves on the strength and durability of their bikes. "We have one of the best price to quality ratios," he said. "Our bikes aren't the lightest but they will last.
"They're not for the guys in the World Cup, they're for the guys who enjoy riding and know how much money they are spending. A bike from here will last all your life."
Reus added that many of Univega's staff were remarkably young – the head of quality control is just 25 – and said: "As a company we believe in the power of young people. You can see that in the product. It's a different approach."
Univega offer a wide range of mountain, road and commuting machines, plus a handful of BMXs and a couple of trials bikes. Watch out for reviews on BikeRadar soon. For now, here are some of the highlights of the 2010 range – see the thumbnail gallery for more pictures. For more details email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alpina is Univega's cross-country/enduro range, which includes everything from top-end carbon full-suspension race bikes to €300 hardtails. The top-of-the-range Alpina SL-UPCT is a 100mm-travel race bike based around Univega's new carbon Deltabox II frame. Finishing kit includes a full Shimano XTR drivetrain, Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels, a Fox 32F FIT fork and RP23 shock, and Avid Elixir CR brakes. RRP is €4,499.99. Claimed weight for a medium frame is 2,120g (4.7lb).
The aluminium Alpina SL-7 is less than half the price at €1,999.99 but still boasts a mix of Shimano XT and XTR kit, a RockShox Reba SL fork and DT-Swiss M-210 shock, and Avid Elixir 5 brakes.
On the bottom rung of the full-suspension ladder is the Alpina SL-260, with a Suntour SCT fork and DNM coil shock, Shimano Acera drivetrain, and a Promax mechanical disc brake at the front and V-brake at the rear. RRP is €399.99.
On the hardtail side of things, the range is headed by the Alpina HT-UPCT Team, with a unidirectional carbon fibre frame, RockShox SID World Cup fork, full XTR groupset, Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels and Avid Elixir CR brakes. RRP is €3,999.99.
Slotting in at a more wallet-friendly €999.99 is the aluminium Alpina HT-560, shown here in the women's Sky version. It comes with a RockShox Recon SL fork, Shimano XT drivetrain, Hayes Stroker Ryde brakes and Concept finishing kit.
Further down the range is this €599.99 Alpina HT-530, with a 100mm-travel RST Gila fork, Tektro Auriga disc brakes and Shimano SLX rear mech.
RAM is Univega's all-mountain range aimed at harder hitting riders. At the top sits the 130mm-travel RAM AM-7 with RockShox Revelation Team fork and Fox Float RPL shock, Fulcrum Red Zone XLR wheels and CrankBrothers Joplin seatpost. RRP is €3,299.99
The RAM AM-3 comes in at €1,899.99 and for your money you get a Fox 32 TALAS-RL fork and Float RPL shock, Shimano XT and Avid Elixir 5 brakes.
The RAM range also includes hardcore hardtails like this XF-932 dirt jumper. For €999.99 you get a Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2 fork with 20mm axle, Avid Elixir 5 brakes, a Truvativ Hussefelt crankset and SRAM X9 kit.
While Univega have dozens of mountain bikes (see www.univega.com for the full list) they offer a slimmed down selection of just five drop-handlebar road bikes. Topping the range is the €3,999.99 Via Mountain King Team, which boasts a unidirectional carbon frame with tapered head tube and integrated seatpost. Kit includes Mavic Cosmic SLR wheels, Shimano Dura-Ace kit and lightweight FSA parts including an SLK BB30 crankset.
The €1,999.99 Via Strato Pro shares the same frame but cuts costs with the speccing of Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels, Shimano Ultegra and Concept finishing kit.
At the bottom of the range, the entry-level Via Laser comes in at €799.99 with a double-butted aluminium frame and carbon fork, Shimano Tiagra groupset and Concept finishing kit.
Terreno bikes are what Univega describe as "cross-trekking" machines but we here in the UK would call urban commuters or hybrids. The top model is the €1,499.99 Terreno 900, which has a triple-butted aluminium frame, full Shimano XT including hydraulic disc brakes, an SR Suntour NCX Air fork and Schwalbe Rocket Ron Evolution tyres.
Lower down the range, the fetching white Terreno 300 gets a more basic frame, an SR Suntour NEX4610 fork, Shimano Deore gearing and Schwalbe Silento tyres. RRP is €499.99.

The Canadian dollar fell to the lowest level against its U.S. peer in almost six months after a report showed consumer prices declined more than forecast last month as growth cools in the world's 11th largest economy.
The currency dropped for a third day against the greenback and the majority of its most-traded peers as Canada's inflation rate declined 0.6 percent in December, compared with a 0.2 percent drop forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. The Bank of Canada trimmed its growth forecasts for the year and said interest rate increases were less urgent on Jan. 23..
"Inflation was much, much lower than expected," said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank, by phone from Toronto. "Given that we're an inflation- targeting central bank, there's very little reason to be looking to push rates up. It kind of suggests, as they indicated, low for longer is the trend."
The loonie, as the Canadian dollar is known for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, fell 0.6 percent to C$1.0087 per U.S. dollar at 10:22 a.m. in Toronto, reaching the weakest level since July 27. One loonie buys 99.14 cents.
The Canadian dollar posted the biggest decline versus its peers this week, with a 2.1 percent drop in the Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, which tracks the currencies of 10- developed nations. The euro has gained 1 percent and the greenback has dropped 0.2 percent.
Price Swings
The loonie's 14-day relative strength index against the U.S. dollar reached 26.1, below the 30 level that some traders see as sign that an asset may be about to reverse direction.
Futures for crude oil, Canada's largest export, rose 0.2 percent to $96.18 per barrel and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.4 percent.
The country's benchmark 10-year bonds fell, with yields rising four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 1.93 percent. The 2.75 percent security maturing in June 2022 fell 39 cents to C$106.97.
The Bank of Canada will auction C$2.9 billion ($2.87 billion) of 10-year notes maturing June 2023 with a 1.5 percent coupon on January 30.

So today we are kicking off previews of the 'My Kids Emo World' range at Simply Betty Stamps and if you haven't checked them out yet what are you waiting for? These quirky cuties and their animal friends are being released on June 1st and until then there is a special pre-order going on with 10% off your entire order.... pretty sweet! :)
For my first preview card the sleek and trendy miss Lola was insistent that she be in the spotlight and I was more than happy to oblige. This girl definitely has a style that is all her own and she's not afraid to strut her stuff! Lola also comes with her very own pet rat, whom I've started referring to as Nimh since he kinda reminds me of the rats from the "Secret of Nimh" cartoon, LOL! What a pair these two make. :)
To see even more Simply Betty goodness just head on over to the Simply Betty blog where there is all sorts of fun stuff to check out as well as a list of my fellow DT members blogs!

Injury-riddled Miller seals 2nd Heat title with hot hand
Mike Miller denied rumors before the start of the NBA Finals that he'd retire after this season. Well, is there a better game to go out on? Battered but filled with adrenaline, Miller made it rain on the Thunder by splashing seven 3-pointers in the Heat's title-clinching Game 5 victory on Thursday night. Time and time again, the former Gator took cuts at any slim chance Oklahoma City had of becoming the first team to rally from 3-1 in the… Read More »

Bernie Fuchs and the Illustrators Workshop
As well, Harold shares the following anecdote about meeting the artist...
Harold writes, "I first saw Bernie's work when I was my first year of art school in 1959 and have clipped his and other illustrators work since. I was hired as an illustrator in 1967 and was in my late thirties when I attended The Illustrators Workshop."
"It was from June 26-July 22, 1977. My wife and three daughters one, three and four yrs. old went in my '76 Rabbit. My wife & daughters stayed with friends in Queens & I went to Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York."
"We were instructed to bring a comp sketch for an assignment we would do at the workshop. We would do one more after the first was completed. After meeting the faculty we showed our comps & received suggestions. Each of the artists showed slides and spoke about their work on succeeding days. We visited the artists studios in their homes or in Bob Peak's case a building he had his studio in."
"When it was Bernie's turn he said he felt like he was on the gong show, then his first slide came on and it the audience reacted with awe. When he spoke to you about a piece of your work he had crits that were useful and encouraged us to find our own way."
"When we went to his studio at his home his oil paintings were rolled & tied."
"He was pleased when some of the first to arrive mistook him for another student."
"He was friendly and for one so supremely gifted was humble and easy to talk to."
"I am glad I was able to attend at the time and still am."
* Many thanks to Harold Henriksen for sharing his story and the scan at top, as well as the Illustrators Workshop brochure page below it.
* The remaining scans today are courtesy of Charlie Allen - thanks Charlie!

This is a fantastic series, Leif. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I loved his work from the first time I saw it in the late '70s as an art student. One of the things I like best about his work is his almost preternatural composition sense, which really shines in these examples. The only one that seems a little different than the others here is the "Charles Vandevere" illustration: it's very reminiscent of Al Parker to me for some reason. Is that a piece from earlier in his career? It is beautiful as well, but just different. Please keep posting his work, he really was an illustrator in a class all his own. God bless Bernie Fuchs.ReplyDelete
I was lucky enough to receive a partial scholarship to the 3rd Illustrators Workshop (from the workshop members themselves) in, I believe, 1979. It was my only true art class, being self-taught, and all of these guys, as well as the visiting artists, were amazing. I was awestruck. During those three intense weeks, perhaps my favorite moment, or at least the most memorable one, was when Bernie and Bob Heindel came into my dorm room (at Marymount College, Terrytown, NY), and said "See that painting? You're in trouble!" Thanks. Bernie, I'll never forget ya.ReplyDelete
