So why do I personally love local quilt shops so much?
When I was living in NY and struggling with a decision to leave my full time job in advertising, I allowed myself, for the first time in many years, the mental space to dream about what I really, really wanted to do with my life. I loved my job but knew it was time for me to make some major changes. During my soul searching and trying to identify themes where I was really in my happy place and felt the most joy, fabric, color, texture and creating things kept coming to the forefront. It sounds corny to people who aren't part of our fabric tribe, but there are few thing so creatively nurturing and inspiring as walking into a fabric store. And I love that if you're reading this, you likely know exactly, precisely what I mean.
The moment I walk in and see all the colors and patterns together it immediately makes me start to think about what gorgeous thing I might be able to make next. It just energizes me and makes me happy. And it was that joy and excitement that has always come from seeing all of those delicious bolts of fabric together in a shop combined with a desire to build a life for myself where creativity could be infused into my work that led me to the decision to finally jump off of the corporate hamster wheel and follow my dream of becoming a textile and surface designer.
So for me, I will be forever grateful for quilt shops and their owners. So get out there and go visit your LQS this week. And if you're in Austin, make sure you pop in and say hello to two of my local favorites.

Honoring Jane Powell
Jane Powell's website was wittily entitled "Jane Powell—the Author, not the Actress!," but I think she has a connection in more than surname with another author out of the Midwest, Dawn Powell (The Golden Spur, My Home is Far Away). Like Jane reaching the Bay area by way of Detroit (her birthplace), Indiana, and Medford, Dawn Powell fled rural Ohio for Manhattan and never looked back. The other Powell—Dawn—is enjoying a revival thanks to the ministrations of fans like Gore Vidal and Tim Page, her biographer. Hopefully, Jane Powell's classic writings on everything bungalow in particular and preservation (and older homes) in general will never go out of fashion nor be forgotten.
Jane's enduring contribution, her legacy, will rest upon her exhaustive, informative, stylishly written books: Bungalow Bathrooms and Kitchens, Bungalow Details: Exterior, and articles and essays too numerous to mention. Her immensely readable, practical books were beautifully furnished with photographs by her friend, Linda Svendsen, who died before her, also of cancer.
But others have written on the subjects Jane covered, without sparking such a loyal following. As time passes, and her friends gain some distance after the intense grief over her passing, I suspect many of us will remember her most for her pluck and resilience, and for her militancy on behalf of preservation.
I won't claim never to having heard Jane whine, but mostly I remember her grit and determination. She enjoyed a period of living the privileged life in a glorious house on The Uplands in Berkeley. Since this was before we met as fellow Oakland Heritage Alliance board members, I asked her how she and Steve, her husband, occupied their time since I don't think either of them had to work—Steve coming from Old Money. Jane said that Steve collected vintage typewriters, a hobby which seemed emblematic of an unhurried life of leisure. When that idyll ended (his choice), as hard as that must have been for her, she began her project of buying houses, fixing and restoring (NEVER gutting them like some ignorant flipper) and then selling them, moving on to the next.
We all know the Bungamansion became the keeper house, her beloved fixer, but there were perhaps a half dozen before that. Her process involved having the floors refinished first, covering them with heavy kraft paper, and then moving in as she began the work, much of which she did herself. Who knows if she didn't contract lymphoma and then metastatic lung cancer from long term exposure to the chemicals and solvents she lived and worked around and with? But she was proud of her restoration efforts, bragging about changing Oakland "one house at a time."
Jane's resolve, independence, and pluck were a big reason, I think, she was such an inspiration for other women (and gay men). She was just as purposeful when it came to her writing, putting in the long hours at her desk, meeting the deadlines. Jane was a spartan—she never smoked or drank, and the only drugs were for her illnesses.
The meager financial return realized from the books was surely a disappointment, but she accepted the writing jobs like Linoleum that her publisher assigned her (and came to love linoleum patterns that she sprinkled throughout her blog, Restoration Comedy). She was immensely proud of the checks from talks she gave, or articles she wrote, not unlike even the Immortals like Virginia Woolf valuing the compensation and security that came with articles and essays in the mass circulation periodicals of her day.
Jane was also a committed advocate for preservation, and not just in her writing. She said, "No building should be torn down" and, while partly that may have been rhetorical, she also meant every word of it. We were on the same side in the losing, painful battle to save the Montgomery Ward Building in the Fruitvale, and the successful efforts to save the Fox Theater and Floral Depot. She became essentially the compromise choice for OHA president after the notorious divide between the Elders and the Militants split the organization, but the group lost its edge anyway, and Jerry Brown had his way and left his mark....
It wasn't for Jane to angle for a job with the City (although those jobs were offered to other activists). She would have relished the opportunity to help revise and update the City of Oakland's Planning Department's Rehab Right from 1978—I once saw her wile away the hours at a tedious Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board meeting scribbling notes for that never-to-be revision. She also wasn't going to play the familiar "professional preservationist" game of trading one "facadomy" or a pocket of change for facade improvement "mitigations", in exchange for unnecessary demolitions.
Although Jane and I were longtime friends (and argued occasionally as friends are known to do), I'm struck by people who've complained they were victims of Jane's fiery rhetoric, or noted her adamancy. Was it her red hair they were reacting to, or was I of such similar sentiment that she seemed the epitome of reason (although she wrote about "obsessive restoration" from much firsthand experience)?
Jane's individuality, her courage and independence, her wit are irreplaceable. One can only hope that, unlike Dawn Powell who was documenting the mid-twentieth century Manhattan vanishing all around her, Jane Powell's legacy will be the bungalows that find loving, more knowledgeable (thanks to her) admirers, and people who don't easily give up even when "Life backs up a giant truck full of lemons and dumps them on me", as Jane put it, having the last words as usual.

Standard article skeletonEdit
When I recently went to go make a new page on our wiki, I got a popup asking me if I wanted to make a "standard page" or a "blank page" (or something like that). "WOW!", I thought, "We can set up a standard layout for all new pages?" I used the "standard" option to see what it does, and didn't like what I saw. It sets up a page with an image and a few sections, prompting for content in each place. On this wiki, images are scarce, and we put a template at the top of every tip (with a different template for proposed pages that have not yet been "approved"). We put a "Comments" section at the end of the page to encourage feedback. I think it would be great if we could automatically insert all this on page creation. Is the standard page skeleton customizeable at all? How?

Bristol City's preparations for the trip to Cardiff on Saturday have been given a boost with star man Albert Adomah returning to training.
The 25-year-old had spent the last month in South Africa representing Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations but he is now back with his Robins team-mates and ready to boost their survival hopes.
"Albert's back with us from Wednesday," first-team coach Richard O'Kelly told the club's official website on Wednesday.
"He's got a big smile on his face, he's very happy and it's great to have him back."
Meanwhile Steven Davies will be available to feature in south Wales after recovering from a minor niggle he picked up in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The rule directing faith-based employers to provide birth control coverage for employees will be revised to allay concerns, President Obama said Friday.
Women will have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive services, but if a women's employer objects to birth control for religious reasons "the insurance company will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge," Obama said in a statement.
The policy on birth control access has been criticized by Republicans and the Catholic Church. GOP leaders vowed to reverse the new policy that requires religious institutions such as schools and hospitals provide contraceptive coverage for their employees as an attack on religious freedom.
Religious organizations won't have to pay for the contraceptive services and "no religious organization will provide [contraceptive] services directly," Obama said, but the services still will be available to women who work at these institutions.
The direction protects religious freedom while directing free preventive healthcare "won't discriminate against women," the president said, noting that several states already have this accommodation.
Obama said he thought the year's lead time for the rule to be effective was enough time to work with religious leaders to resolve conflicts. But the uproar that reached a fevered pitch this week forced a change.
The president noted that many people raised "genuine concerns" during the past two weeks but some turned the situation of "sorting through some very complicated issues" into a "political football."
"I've been confident from start we could work out sensible approach," Obama said, but others have treated the situation "as another political wedge issue. … I certainly never saw it that way."
The current rule, proposed last summer as part of the new healthcare law then confirmed in January, requires employers to provide female employees a range of contraceptive coverage, including birth control, the so-called morning-after pill and sterilization services.
While exempting churches, the rule covers religiously affiliated schools, charities, post-secondary institutions and hospitals. Catholic leaders say requiring Catholic-run institutions to provide such insurance plans violate their teachings against birth control.
Meanwhile, a bill introduced in the Senate would allow religious groups avoid including birth control coverage in their healthcare plans if it violates their beliefs.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act would forbid the federal government from requiring any religiously affiliated non-profit organization to include contraceptive or sterilization methods if the purchaser opposed it for religious or moral reasons, sponsors Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said.
"Under our Constitution, religious organizations have the freedom to follow their beliefs, and government should honor that," Manchin, who is up for re-election, said in a statement.
"I hope President Obama will realize what a gross government overreach this is and change his mind on this mandate, but if he doesn't, Congress should act," Rubio said in a statement.

I am making a 2d rts game, and while I am pretty knowledgable about setting up client/server gunk and that sort of thing, I have no experience with graphics. Searching around, I decided to go with SDL as it seems to be about what I want/need and should perform pretty well.
So far I have hit one major snag, the snag being that I can't load a TGA image to a SDL surface (OMG I feel like an idiot ).
My thought was to keep it as simple as possible starting out, so I downloaded the latest SDL Image library, grabbed their function to load a TGA, and dropped it and everything it requires in. I only get two errors, and those two I believe are not errors in putting in the code.
The errors are both "error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'Unit8*'
They appear on lines 206 and 250 of IMG_tga.cpp.
I hesitate to post the source up because it's pretty dang long (hoping to catch someone else that uses SDL). If I need to, let me know (I probably do).

Roger Atwood measures the right brow tine on Tony Fulton's non-typical whitetail deer. This rack, with 45 scoreable points, was one of the most difficult trophies to measure at the 23rd Awards Program. The final score is 295-6/8 points.
The Boone and Crockett Club maintains the records of native North American big game as a vital conservation record in assessing the success of wildlife management programs.
In response to public interest generated by the Club's National Collection of Heads and Horns in the 1920s, and increased hunting by the general public, the Club established an official measurement and scoring system for trophy big game. The National Collection and the measurement system were initially conceived to record species of North American big game thought to be vanishing. Club Members and others in the scientific community soon recognized that the system was an effective means of tracking the success of new conservation policies.
The first formal recognition of outstanding North American big game trophies by the Boone and Crockett Club was in the 1932 records book. It involved relatively few specimens that were listed by simple criteria of length and spread of horns, antlers or skulls. The 1932 book was followed by the 1939 records book that included informative chapters on a variety of subjects related to big game and hunting.
In 1947, the Club held its first competition for outstanding
trophies, ranking them by a series of measurements that were refined
in 1950 into the current trophy scoring system. Since 1947 there
have been 24 Awards Programs (formerly called competitions).
Trophy entry now occurs during a three-year period, followed by the public display of the finest trophies entered in each category and an awards banquet. Presentation of Boone and Crockett Club big game medals and/or certificates recognizes trophy excellence. Only the top trophies in each category are invited to Final Awards Judging and only invited trophies remeasured by the Judges Panel are eligible to receive awards.

December 2014
Monthly activities in December were focused on a number of follow-ups.
One of the main items was the preparation for ICANN of the budget proposal for the 2016 fiscal year for the GA in autumn 2015, to be organised during the ICANN 54 meeting.
The IANA Stewardship transition and the proposal made by ALAC remained a key focus at the end of the year.
The CROPP program and applications from EURALO were also an important focus, and were debated during the monthly call, as well as the candidature of JJ Subrenat for the Netmundial Coordination Council, which was accepted.
The EuroDIG planning process and the December 31deadline for the call for topic proposals remained high on the agenda. The EuroDIG Secretariat reminded all RALO members about the mailing list and reported on the creation of a newspaper that will round up news on Internet governance activities all over Europe on a monthly basis. Another item of EuroDIG news was the South-Eastern European Roundtable, to be organised during EuroDIG 2015.
The new application for EURALO membership from Russia and the due diligence procedure to be prepared by staff was discussed by RALO members. Other applicants may submit their applications soon as well. The importance of individual membership was also a feature of discussion this month.
November 2014
Monthly activities in November were focused on a number of follow-ups and the preparation of the EuroDIG planning process, with the open call for proposals. The topic proposals for Sofia 2015 remained an important issue for discussion and promotion among RALO members.
The IANA Stewardship transition and the accountability issues at ICANN remained hot topics of discussion for RALOs in line with these issues, EURALO members participated in a meeting in Frankfurt focused on IANA Stewardship transition.
Another event was the Geneva Internet Conference, which featured the participation of several EURALO members.
During November, EURALO ALSes also discussed the EURALO GA that could be organised during the Dublin meeting in autumn 2015 and the request for the budget for the GA to be submitted to ICANN for the 2016 fiscal year.
October 2014
Monthly activities in October were focused on a number of follow-ups and mainly on the ICANN 51 meeting, which took place in Los Angeles on October 11-17, 2014. The important topics discussed during the ICANN 51 were the IANA Stewardship transition and the follow-up to the ATLAS II recommendation. During the meeting of the Regional Leadership, the question of the engagement and participation of RALOs inside the EURALO was raised and debated.
One of the important points of the feedback from participants to ICANN 51 in Los Angeles was the success of the Leadership Training program. It was underlined that the program was a useful look at capacity and management training that gave participants the opportunity to meet people from different constituencies.
The EuroDIG preparation process for Sofia 2015 and the upcoming call for proposals remained another focus of activities in October. The RALOs were informed that the compilation of proposals will be completed by the end of January 2015, with the final program of EuroDIG to be decided in April 2015.
September 2014
Monthly activities in September were focused on a number of follow-ups and the preparation of the next ICANN meeting, which will take place in October of this year in Los Angeles. The participation in the ICANN Academy at ICANN 51 was underlined.
The follow-up of the implementation of the ATLAS II recommendations and closer cooperation between At-Large and the Board on the issue has entered its active phase.
The interesting feedback from ICANN Studienkreis meeting was noted. Discussions took place concerning the intervention of Mr Fadi Chéhadé during the second day of the above-mentioned event and also covered the NetMundial Initiative meeting in Geneva.
September was also the month of the follow-up on the outcomes of the IGF and the participation of At-Large members in a number of workshops and side events.
It is important to underline that the first preparatory meeting of EuroDIG 2015, which will take place in Sofia, was organized.
The new ALAC Leadership, Alan Greenberg, was introduced to the community and EURALO offers to Alan its warm congratulations for this nomination.
The Action Plan for EURALO 2015 is now open for comments and will be presented during the month of November - December of this year.
July - August 2014
Monthly activities in July and August were limited due to the summer break. At the same time, the events organized during this period were rich. The main concern was the follow-up to the ICANN 50 meeting and the ATLAS II Declaration implementation process.
The importance of such events like the European Summer School on Internet Governance (EuroSSIG) which will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary and which is the hub for new Internet Governance leaders- and the ICANN Studienkreis meeting, which was also organised in Sofia, Bulgaria, during July-August needs to be underlined.
The month of July was concentrated on the results from EuroDIG event, which took place in June in Berlin. The end of August was dedicated to the preparation of IGF meeting, which will take place in September in Istanbul, and the participation of EURALO ALSes in it.
June 2014
Monthly activities in June were focused on a number of important events in Europe in the field of Internet Governance.
One of them was the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG), organised in Berlin. Due to the success of the CROPP applications, five candidates represented EURALO in Berlin and engaged with potential future members of EURALO and other stakeholders around ICANN and EURALO roles and activities. They assumed outreach activities on behalf of EURALO.
ICANN 50 and EURALO GA were another important events. 80% of EURALO members attended the GA held during the ICANN 50 and participated in ICANN debates, as well as the ATLAS II Summit at ICANN 50.
During the EURALO GA a number of issues were discussed and presented to the members, including the targets achieved since the Lisbon GA in 2013, successful EURALO representation at different levels (ICANN Board, NomCom, At-Large Multistakeholder Award for Avri Doria) and the success with the main projects (EuroDIG and the ICANN Academy). The issue of better engagement of the EURALO ALSes was underlined and the need for a strategy on better outreach was discussed. The new Vice-President for Europe, Jean-Jacques Sahel, was presented to the stakeholders and stressed the need to reinforce the European Engagement Strategy.
During the ATLAS II Summit at ICANN 50 there were many EURALO representatives. The ATLAS II Statement to the Multistakeholder Community was one of the successes of the Summit.
May 2014
Monthly activities in May were focused on active preparation of the ATLAS II Summit, which will take place during the ICANN 50 in June of this year in London.
The main concern was the participation of EURALO ALSes in the Sub-Committee working groups and the preparation of the summit agenda. EURALO activities were focused on the preparation of the General Assembly, which will be organised during the ATLAS II Summit and the agenda points to be proposed as a part of the GA. Agenda points have to be proposed by EURALO ALS and will be integrated in the agenda, to be discussed with ALSes representatives together with the Board Report and the EURALO strategy for 2014-2015.
The participation of the new ICANN Vice-President for Europe, Mr Jean-Jacques Sahel, in the EURALO GA was acknowledged and we would like to welcome Jean-Jacques.
The month of May also saw work devoted to ALAC Social Media Strategy and implementing its action points for ATLAS II.
Among other issues were the follow-up to CROPP procedure for Europe region, the upcoming EuroDIG event in June in Berlin and the participation of EURALO members in it, as well as the participation in the ICANN Working Group on Accountability and the preparation of the MoU to be proposed for signature between RIPE NCC and EURALO.
April 2014
During the month of April, EURALO activities were actively focused on the follow-up to the post-ICANN Singapore achievements and the results of the selection of the candidate for Board 15.
Another point of discussion was the upcoming NetMundial event and the participation of EURALO members in it, together with EURALO concerns and priorities to be delivered and discussed during the aforementioned meeting. The follow-up to the NetMundial recommendation dominated EURALO activity at the end of the month.
The follow-up to the CROPP selection procedure and related logistical questions remained an important issue for the region.
The preparation of the ATLAS II Summit, which will take place in June in London, was another key focus of EURALO activities in April. The need for greater involvement by ALSes representatives in different Working Groups that were created to support the preparation of the Summit was highlighted.
Other key focuses were the preparation of the final agenda and the participation of EURALO ALSes in EuroDIG for June of this year, as well as involvement in events, such as the EU MAPPING project meeting to take place in May 2014 in Rome.
March 2014
Monthly activities in March were focused on the ICANN 49 meeting priorities and the new changes that were announced during this meeting, principally, the IANA transition and the transfer of key Internet technical functions decided by the US Government. The abovementioned priorities and the positions of EURALO members concerning these priorities were among the main discussion points in Singapore.
Among other key issues was the selection process of candidates for Board Seat 15, the regional consultation among member ALSes (with a high level of participation again), and the announcement of results with the appointment of Ms Rinalia Abdul Rahim as the next ICANN Board Director from At-Large, as selected by the At-Large Community. EURALO would like to offer Rinalia its warm congratulations!
Also of note was the approval of the CROPP submission candidates proposed by EURALO in February 2014, namely the two Armenian counterparts who were accepted as part of EURALO's CROPP program.
Preparation for the ATLAS II Summit and the participation in EuroDIG in June this year remained important items on the agenda. Other actual EURALO challenges are: the outreach activities for ATLAS II which have to be designed and the preparation of EURALO's next General Assembly which is planned to take place during ICANN 50 in London.
February 2014
The month of February was mainly dedicated to commencing the implementation of items defined by the 2014 Action plan.
Monthly activities were concentrated on the preparation of the submission form for the CROPP programme for the agreed five candidates from Europe, which was carried out by the CROPP review team members.
Alongside the CROPP submission process, another important point was the participation of EURALO in the designing the budget for the 2015 fiscal year and the preparation of EURALO requests, which was completed on schedule. This point was of great importance in light of the uncertain future of the CROPP programme, which may be discontinued next year.
Another important item was the preparation process for the ATLAS II Summit, which will take place in Europe, London, in June 2014 and the improved participation of European ALSes in the Working Groups formed to prepare for the event.
The selection process of candidates for Board Seat 15 continued. Two European names presented as candidates for the above mandate are: Sébastien Bachollet and Jean-Jacques Subrenat.
The participation of ALSes in EuroDIG later this year was underlined, the first outline of the programme, together with a newly created wiki space is now available online –see:
It is important to mention the official support EURALO brought to the International Action Day (The day we fight back), which took place on the 11th of February.
January 2014
2014 started with active engagement of EURALO members in a number of activities:
Among important preoccupations of members was the support to the International action day on 11 February, which was dedicated to the fight against mass surveillance. EURALO was asked by organisers to support this action. After consultation with members, it was decided to express official support on behalf of EURALO, as privacy remains one of the priorities and concerns of the European regional at At-large.
The new CROPP Program and the selection of five regional candidates remained one of the important points on EURALO's agenda. The issues became of particular importance due to the close deadline for applications in February.
The process of topics selection for EuroDIG 2014 was closely followed by members, the deadline for voting on submitted proposals closed on the 30th of January. The first planning meeting took place on the 31st January in Berlin attended by various members.
It is important to underline that the preparation of ATLAS II, scheduled to happen in June this year in London, and the selection of candidate for Board seat 15, were important issues for the region as well.
In January EURALO started to define regional priorities for its 2014 planning.
December 2013
The month of December resulted in a number of activities. The follow-up of participation in ICANN 48 was one of the main agenda points of the month of December. EURALO members continued their participation in debates around Brazil Summit in April 2014 and the Multistakeholder Innovation Strategic Panels.
It is important to underline the success of the ICANN Academy Pilot project during ICANN 48, which was encouraged to become a regular event at ICANN's AGM at the end of year.
A number of important events took place during the month of December; among them the meeting of High level Panel on Global Internet Cooperation & Governance Mechanisms, which took place in London, December 20. EURALO members closely followed this event.
Another important event was the second ICANN Brussels briefing meeting, attended by few EURALO ALSs, which partly focused on ICANN Engagement Strategy for Europe.
Among regional events, it is important to mention the first regional Azerbaijani Internet Governance Forum organised in Baku.
The preparation of ATLAS II remained an important item on the December agenda. The preparation process continued to focus on strategic preparation and the analysis of survey data. It is necessary to mention that the next EURALO GA will take place during the ATLAS II in London, July 2014.
Also, the organisation of CROPP Program and the selection of EURALO representatives to CROPP Initiative were among agenda points in December.
Finally, the deadline for proposals of ideas for EuroDIG 2014 is set for December 31, 2013.
With best wishes for 2014, EURALO Secretariat!
November 2013
The main activities of the month of November were focused on the preparation of EURALO's participation in the ICANN 48 meeting in Buenos Aires and the follow-up of this participation.
During ICANN 48, EURALO members actively participated, physically or remotely, in a number of discussions, namely:
- Montevideo Statement and Brazil Summit on Internet Governance
- Outreach activities and the ICANN Strategy for Europe
- Multistakeholder Innovation Strategic Panels
- ATLAS II planning discussions
- ICANN Academy Pilot project
- Board seat 15 selection process, etc.
EURALO leaders participated in ICANN 48 meeting organised between Mr Fadi Chehadé and At-large community.
The preparation of ATLAS II remained an important item of the month of November. ATLAS II will take place in July 2014 in London. The preparation process resulted in the analysis of the survey data launched among RALOs in October 2014.
October 2013
In October the main focus was on a number of events in the field of Internet Governance.
EURALO members were closely following the results of the Montevideo meeting and considered the Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation issued by leaders on the 7th of October.
Another important announcement followed by EURALO members was the statement made by Mrs Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil, after the meeting with Mr Fadi Chehadé, to host of the International Summit on Internet Governance in April 2014.
A lot of attention was paid to the events such as Ukrainian IGF in which a number of EURALO ALSs participated physically or remotely, and the Internet Governance Forum 2013, which took place in Bali, Indonesia. EURALO was well represented at the Bali IGF. A number of EURALO members were organisers of the workshops and side events.
Such issues as the preparation of the ATLAS II and ICANN Academy Pilot Leadership Training Project were among important agenda points in October.
The ATLAS II preparation resulted in a launch of the survey among the different RALOs.
The call for proposals of topics for the important European event – EuroDIG 2014 – was launched during IGF in Bali. EuroDIG will take place in June 2014 in Berlin.
September 2013
After the holiday break, EURALO activities were mainly concentrated on the preparation of the input of interested ALs for the following discussed issues:
It has to be underlined that, as the selection of candidates for the Board Member Selection Process Committee and the BCEC has started, EURALO with other RALOs has an important role to play in the process. This was one of the concerns of the members of EURALO during the month of September.
September was an important month for the preparation of EURALO engagement in IGF 2013. EURALO had a great representation, with 7 people physically present and engaged in a number of activities in Bali.
The launch of the ATLAS II survey and the development of its quantitative part were among other important EURALO activities, as At-Large summit will take place in London. All members of EURALO played an important role by actively participating in the survey.
July and August 2013
This is a summary report of EURALO's activities over the last months. EURALO was very active to organize and conduct its 6th General Assembly (GA) in line with the last EuroDIG in June in Lisbon (see our previous reports). So to say, EURALO came back to its roots where EURALO was founded in March 2007 in line with the then European ICANN meeting in the Portuguese capital. And our last 2013 GA was the first F2F meeting after Mexico in 2009 where a vast majority of our member ALSes could meet physically (more than 80%). An unquestionable highlight of our Lisbon GA was the participation of ICANN's President and CEO Fadi Chehade together with Nigel Hickson, ICANN's Vice-President Stakeholder Engagement for Europe. This offered an opportunity to discuss ICANN's Strategic Planning for the next five years with community members.
EURALO members in Lisbon discussed and defined some thematic priorities for our regional activities. Another key topic on the agenda was how to improve in-reach and involvement in ALAC consultation procedures and policy. Besides this, the Chair and Secretariat were re-elected (the latter Yuliya Morenets in a run-off voting round following the GA). Furthermore, the EURALO Board was re-elected with some incoming new members. For more details see https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Elections%2C+Selections+and+Appointments+2013
EURALO with its ALAC members participated at the last ICANN meeting in July in Durban/South Africa. And as in previous years, various members participated in the European Summer School on Internet Governance (EuroSSIG) in Meissen/Germany in August and at the last ICANN-Studienkreis meeting in Pisa/Italy in September – see http://www.euro-ssig.eu/ and http://icann-studienkreis.net/
As usual, there are no monthly calls held over the summer break in July and August. EURALO restarted its regular activities with its monthly call in September.
June 2013
All EURALO efforts in June were focused on the first F2F General Assembly (GA) after several years (2009) in Lisbon again. And in close cooperation with ICANN, EURALO organized a pre-event of EuroDIG on 19 June on the "ICANN Strategy for the next five years" where Fadi Chehade (ICANN President and CEO) and Nigel Hickson (VP Europe) were key speakers.
The EURALO GA was attended by 27 members providing a quorum of almost 90 per cent. Besides the GA regulars, EURALO's leadership had to be reselected (Wolf Ludwig for the Chair and Yuliya Morenets as the new Secretariat – what made a run-off Online vote after the GA necessary).
The thematic focus of the assembly was on "how to improve participation and members involvement in regular EURALO work and regional advice to ALAC – ICANN?" There was a vivid discussion incl. definition of five thematic priorities for EURALO. For more details see the Lisbon GA meeting minutes:
The GA was followed by an ICANN-EURALO Outreach reception for EuroDIG participants and the local community to attract new members from the host country. The following two days EURALO members attended the 2013 EuroDIG with a packed program – see:
From a strategic POV, EURALO became a key driver and org. pillar of the EuroDIG process by getting more and more involved in the regional European IGF.
May 2013
EURALO priorities in May were:
- final stage of preparations for Lisbon GA (draft agenda setting, preparation for EURALO officers selection, posting of a draft Board report and other businesses);
- EuroDIG 2013 preparation process (up-dates from Sandra and Wolf as EuroDIG Secretariat);
- discussion on next steps for ALS for individual members with Roberto and Veronica as contact points in their interim capacity, or to wait for any comments from other individual members);
- preparation to ICANN Academy pilot project in Buenos Aires (and presentation of draft curriculum in Durban – Sandra, Avri);
- participation at IGF-MAG consultation and other IG events in Geneva (Avri, Bill, Veronica, Wolfgang, Yuliya);
- participation at the Stockholm Internet Forum (Yrjo);
- participation at an international seminar in Moscow "Internet Governance after WCIT-12" (Olivier, Avri, Desiree, Oksana);
- on-going discussion of the problem with ICANN geographical regions (after Roberto's report on his trip to Armenia) and different ways to deal with this problem.
April 2013
EURALO activities in April concentrated on:
- participation at the ICANN 46 meeting in Beijing (among the most important topics which were discussed where: preparation for At-Large Summit (ATLAS 2) in summer 2014 in London, the role of ALAC officers and ALSs in communication between ALAC/ICANN and local Internet communities, internationalization of ICANN, budget aspects regarding new gTLD future);
- EuroDIG outreach (F2F meeting in Beijing in line with ICANN conference, agenda setting and mobilization) -
- follow-up for preparations of Lisbon GA https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+2013+General+Assembly+Workspace\\
- next steps on ICANN Academy (F2F meeting in Beijing, survey, presentation of new ICANN on-line Educational platform -
ICANN Online Education Platform and the role of the ICANN Academy WG - Open Discussion with Matthew Shears );
- national events (Finnish Internet Forum - www.internetforum.fi/ , Russian Internet Governance Forum - www.rigf.ru/en/ )
March 2013
EURALO priorities in March were:
- Over the last weeks, EURALO was closely involved in the creation and launch of a Swiss IGF, the pilot event is foreseen for 19 April in Berne – see http://swiss-igf.ch/
- Next preparation steps for the Lisbon GA: after registration formalities have been accomplished the draft agenda needs to be discussed and approved at the monthly call in April – improvement of communicative tools and understanding the role of ALSs in representing end users in ICANN);
- Preparation for ICANN 46 meeting in Beijing (discussion, among other issues, the problem of suffrage and results of ICANN Academy survey);
- There seems to be some progress with the creation of a home ALS for individual members (thanks to initiatives of Wolf and Siranush with support of Roberto and Veronica);
- Further preparations for EuroDIG 2013.
February 2013
Our February activities focused on completion of the registration for the next Lisbon GA in June) and discussion of the first program outline of EuroDIG 2013 (Lisbon, 20-21 June). Registration for GA was completed by 17 February with 27 confirmed representatives of our ALSes (80% of all members). This is a good result being a challenge for a rather tough GA budget. That is why ICANN At-Large Staff needs to start with travel arrangements for registered participants ASAP.
The overarching theme for the 2013 EuroDIG is "Internet for society – how to serve the public interest?". EuroDIG Secretariat (Sandra and Wolf) were asking for comments on the first program outline to be discussed at the 2nd Planning meeting in line with the IGF consultations (1 March) in Paris following the WSIS-10 meeting where a lot of EURALO members participate.
Some EURALO members also participated in Safer Internet Days (5 February). Sandra continues to work on the results of ICANN Academy survey. Another issue was raised by Avri and has to be discussed within EURALO before the upcoming ICANN meeting in Beijing. "At-Large suffrage request to RALOs".
January 2013
Priorities for this month's activity were preparations and member mobilisation for our 2013 GA and EuroDIG, as well as on-going discussion of postWCIT12 issues. In response to the chair's circular mail and 1st reminder to the members list with announcement of the next F2F GA in line with EuroDIG 2013 in Lisbon, representatives of 15 ALSes confirmed their participation already. An enduring problem remains the lacking initiative of our individual members, who did not respond to the bylaws proposal, drafted by Wolf.
Until the deadline for submissions of topics for EuroDIG 2013 by 1st of January, the Secretariat received, reviewed, listed and compiled 55 proposals, which will be discussed by the open planning meeting on 29 January in Lisbon (with broad participation from community members, physically or remotely. See:http://www.eurodig.org/
EURALO is pleased to welcome two new member organizations / ALSes: dotHIV from Germany certified by ALAC in January, and the University of Library Studies and Information Technologies (UniBIT) based in Bulgaria (ALAC vote in process). One applicant has withdrawn unfortunately.

text:
The Batman killer in Colorado reminds us all once again of the argument from evil that is the best defense against Jehovah's Witnesses at the front door, friends who "pray for you," and all others still clinging to the God Delusion. My favorite explication of the argument was put forth by John L. Mackie, the Australian philosopher. He demonstrated the utterly fallacious claim that God is both good and omnipotent, since an all powerful good deity cannot but prevent evil, leaving one to wonder why it occurs with such regularity. James Eagen Holmes disproves the existence of God by murder of innocent total strangers. Those who counter with the claim that God gave man free will and thus it is man who makes such evil choices simply ignore the obvious: God could have made certain that Holmes would choose good over evil, and thus many lives would have been saved.
Views: 1034
Yeah so sad - I've been listening to the news about the story.
Thanks, but I owe it all to Mackie. Of all the writings I've perused about atheism, his was the most convincing...and, really, the simplest. "God is dead because we don't need him" is a pretty good one, too: parsimony & the razor of Fr. Occam.
Works in mysterious ways... Part of His plan... Blah blah blah... Insert inane rationalization here: _____________________
I like the one that says God must exist because the Bible tells us so.
Yes, and because the Bible tells us so, God exists! The old circular thinking bit.
Sooo, this question is being asked on an atheist web site . . . .why??
People have been slaughtered en masse long 'ere now, and likely, they will again in the future. Other people will wring their hands, pray to their god and uselessly ask, "why?" and fail to recognize that they contribute to the problem by default, because they cling to useless and impotent gestures while failing to contribute to any form of solution.
One of the more brilliant YouTube atheists out there made a statement which stuck with me, and which is one of multiple steps that humankind need to take if we want to have any chance of changing this pattern:
If we're to grow up as a species, we need to address the systems that infantilize us.
-- TheraminTrees
A good God would destroy the American Rifle Association.
Better yet, let the NRA continue, but with the emphasis to go far harder on the RESPONSIBILITY of owning a weapon than the right to own one, never mind what is really needed for hunting or self-protection.
And while we're at it, apparently, Holmes got a LOT of what he used through the internet, probably with about as much oversight as a hole in the head. This harks back to the gun catalogs of half a century ago, where you could order up a weapon as easily as choosing something from the Spiegel catalog. Add that to the 100-round magazine he had for his AR-15 and I see very little difference between the 1960's and the early 21st century as regards access to weaponry.
Unfortunately, the judicially activist New Majority on the Supreme Court has misinterpreted the 2nd Amendment and ruled that virtually no restraints can be put on gun acquisition, such that Holmes could have gone into the theatre with a howitzer. It would be typical of the fat rightwing nutjob, Scalia, to say that Holmes had every right to acquire the weapons he did -- where was it, a department store for Crust's sake -- even if he was NOT a part of a "well-regulated militia...." Remember, Scalia the Catholic might be expected to go along with the presentist arguments of the evangelical "historians" including that goon who appears on Fox Noise, finding in 6- of 7,000 year old desert warlord rules some applicability to today's human events. Such that he also ignores the fact that it is not necessary for us to maintain a "well-regulated militia." I rather doubt that if we did, Mr. Holmes would join up. He is far more interested in fulfilling the Old West myth of the fastest gun alive. But then his inspiration might even seem to have been Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.
Why does anyone need an assault rifle?

Van Toffler, president of the MTV Viacom Music and Logo Group, said in an exclusive interview with TheWrap on Wednesday that he did not hesitate to cancel "Buckwild" after the death of its 21-year-old star Shain Gandee, who was found dead in West Virginia last week of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
Van Toffler: Shain was such a sweet kid. He was the heart and soul of the show, in many ways. So we have to deal with that emotionally. So we do our own personal soul searching and then we also, as we always do, look at what's going on in social media, we talk to our audience, and they felt the way we did in that – how can the show go on with this spectre of a tragedy hanging over it? This guy was the rabble rouser and he was the one who instigated a lot of the fun and we shot three or four episodes already and we just felt like the show couldn't go on without him.
SW: Are you going to air the other three episodes that you have done?
VT: No. We shot the special that was set to run on Sunday (filmed in March before Season 2 production began), where a bunch of hip hop personalities went to West Virginia and the kids from West Virginia went to New York-a fish out of water story -and we are going to air that. There is a special tribute at the front of it and Sway, our on-air personality will talk about Shain and his influence.
SW: Was that your decision? To not continue with the show?
VT: Well it's a group decision but ultimately it falls on me.
SW: That's a tough business decision to make.
VT: Emotionally it wasn't a tough decision. In terms of our business, I think that MTV is in a really healthy place with its development and we'll just figure it out. Season 2 would've been in September or October. We have a bunch of other shows behind it. I couldn't see how the show could air based on the nature of the show, about kids being buckwild in West Virginia, in light of this event. It just wouldn't make sense.
MTV has been blamed for the demise of youth culture, but we try to do what's right for the audience. You have a 21 year old-they're such imperfect human beings with so many blemishes but it doesn't mean that they're not passionate. But some days they just screw up. Right? And other days they do the most wonderful things.
Also Read: MTV Says 'Buckwild' Season 2 'Not Appropriate'
But is putting that on TV actually exploiting these kids immaturity and their lack of judgment?
We document and show all sides of what it's like to be young. From "True Life" and "Jenks," nurturing autistic kids and getting them to prom, to "Jersey Shore"-you can't do one without the other. You're not going to gain their trust by saying "go out to vote" or "get tested for STDs" or "help your neighbor "or "fight for gun control "-or whatever the issue is, unless you're honest with them. We wouldn't be in business. We can't be all the redemption. Life is about sin and redemption.

Value creation has moved from the center of the firm to its edge and beyond. People are working and collaborating beyond home base to create value, including outside their firm. I call this phenomena "Working Wider". It dramatically changes the world of work, what defines leadership, how you compete and win.
We're not just being challenged to think outside the box -- Now we're working outside it as well.

NetBSD Packet Filter information
The NetBSD version of PF is obsolete, and its use is strongly discouraged. NPF should be used instead.
The OpenBSD Packet Filter has been integrated in NetBSD since July 2004 and the first supporting release was NetBSD 3.0. Usage of PF in NetBSD is basically the same as in OpenBSD, but there are a few differences. This page tries to explain the differences and provides additional information about the port and integration of PF in NetBSD.
- Availability
- Kernel options
- Enabling PF
- Configuration
- PF in bridge setup
- Differences with OpenBSD
NetBSD 5.0 includes PF from OpenBSD 4.2. NetBSD 6.0 includes this same version, but also provides pfsync(4) and pfs(8).
NetBSD 4.0 includes PF from OpenBSD 3.7 with patches from the 3.7 branch.
NetBSD 3.0 was the first release with official support for PF. It includes PF from OpenBSD 3.6 with patches from the 3.6 branch.
Kernel options
To use PF, you don't need to compile your own kernel. In versions of
NetBSD prior to 6.0, you can use the LKM
. Use modload(8) to load the LKM:
# modload /usr/lkm/pf.o
To use PF with NetBSD 6.0 (on architectures that support modules), you
can use the module
Use modload(8) to load the module (if it was not loaded at boot
# modload pf
But if you prefer to use PF in the base kernel, then you need at least the following option enabled:
options PFIL_HOOKS # pfil(9) packet filter hooks
This option should be enabled in the GENERIC kernel by default. To enable PF in the kernel, the following pseudo-devices should be added to the kernel configuration:
pseudo-device pf # PF packet filter pseudo-device pflog # PF log interface
If you're not interested in logging packets with PF, then you might want to leave out the pflog device.
You need to recompile and install the kernel for the settings to take effect.
Enabling PF
To enable PF at boot-time, set
pf=YES in
Please note that the boot procedure will be aborted if the PF configuration
file doesn't exist
(see also Configuration).
To start, stop, restart or reload PF manually, you can use the rc.d script
To enable pflogd(8) (the pf logging daemon) at boot-time,
pflogd=YES in
To start, stop or restart pflogd(8) manually, you can use the rc.d
On NetBSD versions older than 6.0, to load the LKM at boot-time, you
need to set
/etc/rc.conf and add the following line to
/usr/lkm/pf.o - - - - BEFORENET
Beginning with NetBSD 6.0, to load the module at boot-time (on
architectures that support modules), you simply need to edit
/etc/rc.conf as noted above.
If /usr is on another partition from the root partition, you'll also need to
add the following to
critical_filesystems_local="${critical_filesystems_local} /usr"
The default configuration file is
This can be changed by setting the variable
The initial configuration file is
/etc/defaults/pf.boot.conf. This configuration is only
used during the network configuration to protect the machine from
possible attacks. You can override the default initial configuration by
creating a file named
/etc/pf.boot.conf, but that
should not be needed in most setups.
Please see pf.boot.conf(5) for more information about this file.
The syntax of both configuration files are described in the manual page pf.conf(5).
PF in bridge setup
PF in bridging mode is supported, but you need to compile a new kernel to enable packet filtering on a bridge. The following line should be added to the kernel configuration:
options BRIDGE_IPF # bridge uses IP/IPv6 pfil hooks too
Configure the bridge as described in the NetBSD Guide. Then use the brconfig(8) command to enable packet filtering on the bridge:
# brconfig bridgeN ipf
The "ipf" option also applies to PF, because this option actually enables the pfil(9) interface. PF should now be able to filter packets on the interfaces configured as the bridge. Note that it's only needed to filter on one interface because the same data goes through both interfaces.
Using ALTQ in PF is supported since NetBSD 4.0. The following kernel options are relevant:
options ALTQ # Manipulate network interfaces' output queues options ALTQ_CBQ # Class-Based Queueing options ALTQ_HFSC # Hierarchical Fair Service Curve options ALTQ_PRIQ # Priority Queueing options ALTQ_RED # Random Early Detection
Please note that you must compile pf in the kernel, using the PF LKM and ALTQ in the kernel will not work.
For the configuration of ALTQ is nothing special needed, just follow the documentation to
setup the rules. Some example rules can be found in
Differences with OpenBSD
There are a few differences in PF for NetBSD when compared to OpenBSD. Most of them are missing features.
- pfsync(4) is supported since NetBSD 6.0.
- pfs(8) is supported since NetBSD 6.0.
- altq(4) is supported since NetBSD 4.0.
- carp(4) is supported since NetBSD 4.0.
- The 'group' keyword does nothing, because NetBSD doesn't keep the GID in the uidinfo structure. This issue will probably be solved in a future release.
- Filtering on route labels is not working, NetBSD doesn't have labels for routes. It is unknown whether this will be supported in a future release or not.
- The initial configuration file pf.boot.conf(5) is a NetBSD specific file. OpenBSD loads the initial configuration for PF from /etc/rc which is a bit clumsy in case you need to change it. For this reason has NetBSD added a new file for the initial PF configuration.
- spamd was orginally imported into NetBSD, but it was removed before 3.0 was released. It is not considered to be part of PF and has been made available via pkgsrc (mail/spamd).

You mentioned new party members, I think, in one of the other threads (yes, there's only 3, I'm lazy). I'm gonna take a guess and say Red might be one of them.
1. Same sprites as Kuros, so it would be easy to manipulate his design and emotes.
2. And most notably, 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
Seems at this time, Red Knight has nothing to fear from his wizardly master Malkil, being immune to magic (I assume he just gets better when turned into a slime), but for wealth and action, he would go with the trio, especially considering he's been schooled so many times by them.
Of course, in that case, Malkil would probably render him less than invulnerable as punishment, and to keep things in line.
Kuros: Why bother fighting anything? Mr Invincible can take care of it.
CG: The hell he can, I wanna fight already! I trashed a whole techno empire, and now I'm booting bats and snakes.
Link: Kuros, you're kidding me? I've mopped the floor with him left and right. He couldnt destroy a damp paper bag.
Red Knight: ...why do you say things that you know will hurt me?
CG: I guess Link found another weakness in that armor. Wuss!

Pure Mu, Compresseur de studio de la marque Knif Audio.
Pure Mu is not a stripped-down version from Vari-Mu II. In fact, they don't have much in common internally, on the topology level. Pure Mu follows the simplest tube compressor topology, namely the one that was made famous by the most famous of them all, the name you all know. (I decided to be the first manufacturer who never uses that name in marketing) There is only one active stage of 4 parallel coupled tubes per channel, hence the name Pure Mu.
The side chain features are mostly like the ones in Vari Mu, but the time constants offer a bit more to fiddle with. The attack range goes down to extremely fast and release has a separate switch to add a second time constant in parallel, often called as "auto release". In Pure Mu this is done right. The primary release can still be chosen from the 7 positions, and "Dual" switch is used to add 2 or 4 seconds of secondary release (which can be easily customized).
The side chains are kept internally and electronically separate and share one set of controls with an adjustable link switch. What is this for? Imagine that you have very loud transient on extreme right or left. With the link control in "Off" -position, only one channel will be compressed. With the link "On" the both channels are compressed the same amount. Now, usually these options are fine enough but these are the inherent limitations: Link Off - stereo field will collapse for a moment. Link On - ALL material will follow the transient and "duck". Many times the ideal is somewhere in between. There's also another trick in the adjustable link: The channels will track each other very little during fast attack and more on release. In this way you can get the best of both worlds if it suits the material. Intermediate positions offer different degrees of linking.
As always in Knif products, there are no potentiometers. All controls use Grayhill rotary switches (Elma for input gain). Signal and power wiring is teflon insulated silver plated copper and is soldered directly to turrets on circuit boards. This combines reliable and neutral signal routing to the possibility of unlimited soldering and desoldering without damages to wires or PCB. Case is built from machined aluminum plates and blocks as usual. No bent steel plates here, thank you.
The double needle meter in the picture is an (cool but rather expensive) option. Actually great when working link "Off" and will impress the customers, ha! As in Vari Mu there are trimmers on the front panel for tube balance and meter zero. Power supply has a soft and delayed start.
All tubes in the unit are NOS without modern equivalents, but still very common and easy to get.

AppropriateSolutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 73 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Sundog Energy
We are a web development company focussed on web standards, usability and accessibility. Our aim is to supply simple and easy to use websites that fulfil the needs of the target audience and the business objectives of the client.
The client is a well established but rapidly growing supplier and installer of domestic and commercial Solar Power systems with several high profile projects. They have an existing website which is in need of updating to reflect their enhanced status.
The design should reflect their professional competence together with their experience, while at the same time providing an accessible and friendly front to potential customers.
This is an exciting and fast moving market sector with some very passionate customers. The design will need to appeal to a range of visitors who may be motivated by a belief in the product, a desire to invest in their home, or a professional interest in the sector.
The client needs to communicate with several client groups including:
- Residential Home Owners
- Owners of Commercial premises
- Farmers and other Landowners
- Bodies responsible for Schools and other Public Sector buildings
- House Builders and Housing Associations
- Charities and those responsible for Community Buildings
- Architects, Specifiers and other professionals
Their core group is Residential Home owners, who may well come from an older demographic. For this purpose the design should emphasise competence and the feeling that the work will be carried out professionally, and will be supported and maintained in the future.
Another group that is important is the smaller Professional Solar Installer who will use the client as a source of components. The site will contain an e-commerce area that will sell a wide range of components to this group.
The other groups will largely be motivated by either professional interest (e.g. Architects) or by commercial and business factors. It will be important to balance the softer more human level feel of the Residential elements with the more level headed fact based feel of the other professional elements.
Designs will be required for 2 pages:
- Home page
- E-commerce home page
The other interior pages will be created from the designs provided for these.
Although the wire frame has borders on all elements these are not defined in the brief. The wire frame is signed off in terms of layout and structure, but we are looking for a creative interpretation of the elements.
The colours should follow the supplied logo, and the layout should follow the supplied wire frames. The font in the logo is Square 721 BT Roman though no licence is held. The design should be 960px wide with the left hand column 200px wide and the right hand column on the Product page 160px wide.
The final design should be delivered in a fully layered .psd file with all images at full size and in place. The final size of the design should be greater than the final website to allow for adjustments without serious degrading of image quality.
The Home page
These wire frames for this page are: Home – Home Owners, Home – Commercial, Home – Landowners and Home Trade.
This page will allow each of the main groups to easily move to the most relevant area of the site for them. The main tabbed area in the centre will allow each group to quickly access relevant introductory text and follow the actions expected. The tabs areas on the right can increase in size to fill the height of the panel as no more tabs are expected to be added. Each tab should have a distinguishing colour or shade which will be reflected in the border of the panel to indicate which is active.
The interior of each tabbed panel will change over time so no designs are required for each tabbed panel content, though a guide to typography and spacing would be beneficial. Examples of alternate views of the Home page with different panels active have been included in the wire frame for reference.
The 4 main call to actions above the tabbed area will provide links to the most popular content, and should be relevant to the content to which they link.
The main menu will not need to expand as a contextual menu is created on interior pages for sub-pages.
The left hand call to action is to a sister site http://www.sundog-power.co.uk which is currently using a temporary design while awaiting a full redesign and build.
The E-Commerce Home page
The wire frames for this page are Products Wholesale and Products Wholesale – Logged Out.
The e-commerce system is designed to sell to wholesale customers. As such it will only display prices to logged in visitors, there for care must be taken as some elements will be missing or may change size when the visitor is not logged in. A logged in and logged out version of the page has been provided in the wire frame.
A category and product page has been included in the wire frame though designs are not expected for these.
Image dimensions for the product images are: Featured Product image 130px x 130px and for the Latest Product image 90px x 90px.
The layout works well but there is a lack of consistency to the design. The website has grown over time with elements being added by a variety of designers. It is now time to get an overall corporate feel for the website, with elements working well together.
Please just google the phrases "Solar Power" and "Feed in Tariff" for some examples of the sector. The client is quite open minded to designs but a clean look may be preferred.

College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources presents 2006 Outstanding Alumnus and Ka Lei Hano Heritage Awards
Outstanding students, faculty and staff awards will also be presented at annual banquetUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Miles Hakoda, (808) 956-3093
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
HONOLULU — An entomologist who helped address difficult pest control issues and expand Hawaiʻi's export markets and a rancher who embraced important technological advances in Hawaiʻi cattle production are among the honorees at the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources' (CTAHR) 18th Annual Awards Banquet, which will be held on Thursday, May 4, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
A celebration of the excellence and accomplishments of CTAHR's students, faculty, staff and alumni, the annual event features the presentation of the college's Outstanding Alumnus award and the Ka Lei Hano Heritage award for community service.
This year, CTAHR honors Dr. Po-Yung Lai as its Outstanding Alumnus. Lai attended UH Mānoa, earning a master's degree in entomology in 1971 and a doctoral degree in entomology in 1977. He served as an administrator for the Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture in the 1970s and 1980s, and as CTAHR's assistant dean for cooperative extension in the 1990s. More recently, at the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology in his native Taiwan, he has brought into existence the Department of Tropical Agriculture and International Cooperation (TAIC), creating in less than 10 years a visionary agriculture program that reaches out to foreign students with graduates from more than 30 countries in Asia, the Pacific region, the Americas, and Africa.
The 2006 Ka Lei Hano Heritage Award will be presented to Herbert "Monty" Richards. As head of the Big Island's Kahua Ranch for 50 years, Richards embraced important technological advances in Hawaiʻi cattle production as the first rancher to use artificial insemination and an early adopter of intensive grazing. By establishing Kahua Ranch as an agricultural tourism destination, using solar power, and experimenting with crop diversification and wind energy, he has sought new ways to make ranching in Hawaiʻi economically and environmentally sustainable. For many years, he has been a strong advocate for Hawaiʻi agriculture, serving as a member of the CTAHR Board of Advisors and as a Hawaiʻi delegate to the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant College's Council for Agricultural Research, Extension and Teaching.
Other awards that will be presented that evening include:
- 2006 CTAHR Dean's Award for Outstanding Civil Service to Charles Nelson
- 2006 CTAHR Dean's Award for Outstanding Service by an Administrative, Professional, and Technical Employee to Karl Yanagihara
- 2006 CTAHR Dean's Award for Excellence in Research to Dr. Charles Weems
- 2006 CTAHR Excellence in Extension Award to a Specialist for Outstanding Performance and Results in a Statewide Project to Dr. Sylvia Yuen and members of the Data Program team: Shi Jen He, Dr. Marika Ripke, Ivette Stern, Anees Kadir, and Maw Ying Yuan
- 2006 CTAHR Excellence in Extension Award to a County Agent for Outstanding Performance and Results in an Agriculture or Natural Resources Management Program to Randall Hamasaki
- 2006 CTAHR Excellence in Extension Award to a County Agent for Outstanding Performance and Results in a Nutrition or Human Resources Program to the Nutrition Education for Wellness (NEW) team: Naomi Kanehiro, Laura Jean Kawamura, Lynn Nakamura-Tengan, Claire Nakatsuka, and Julia Zee
- Ka Pouhana (Mentor) Award to Dr. Brent Sipes

From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
Teachers responsible for a class in early American history often find themselves asking: When does American history begin? What does "America" include? Is this a story only of the English colonies, or is it the story of the settlement and displacement of many races, nationalities, and regions across two American continents, Europe and Africa?
This issue of History Now takes the broadest approach to such questions, examining what historians call "The Atlantic World," the four continents linked by the Atlantic Ocean. In "Three Worlds Meet: Europe, Africa, and the Americas" our scholars look at conditions in England and the Americas before English colonization began; they create a context for understanding Indian and African enslavement; and they examine the perils of traveling the waters that connect peoples of each continent to one another. The stories they tell are more complex than the traditional tales of heroes and victims. What unfolds in these essays is an understanding of social practices and governmental policies, cultural differences and similarities, economic exploitation, and the risks involved as Europeans expanded their reach across the ocean. Taken together, these essays provide the classroom teacher with the historical context in which the early English settlements such as Jamestown and Plymouth were founded.
In "Change and Crisis: North America on the Eve of the European Invasion," Christopher Miller provides us with an in-depth portrait of Native American life on the eve of European settlement. From the rise of the Iroquois Confederation to the rise and fall of the urban centers of the Mississippi River region to the crises faced by the Anasazi and Mogollons of the Southwest, Miller effectively challenges older notions of a North American continent devoid of true civilization or populated by societies built exclusively on warfare. In "England on the Eve of Colonization," Paul E.J. Hammer shows us the role that English politics and warfare played in the growth of England's empire. Hammer's essay helps us see why England was slow to join the European transatlantic expansion—and looks at the great rivalries between England and the other European powers. Alan Gallay returns our attention to the Americas in "Indian Slavery in the Americas." He details the extent to which Spanish, French and English colonies employed Indian slave labor, and dispels the myth that slavery was always synonymous with Africans. His essay reminds us that the emergence of racial definitions of slavery – the association of the institution with Africans alone—was a slow historical process. In "Iberian Roots of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, 1440-1640," David Wheat focuses our attention on the African slave trade as it was practiced for almost two centuries before English settlement on mainland North America began. He argues that the foundations of the African slave trade were laid centuries before the tobacco and rice plantations of the English colonies turned to the large scale use of enslaved African laborers. Finally, Robert Ritchie reminds us of the "Perils of the Ocean in the Early Modern Era" -- the centuries before Google maps, sophisticated navigational technology, and engine powered ocean liners. The dangers that ship captains and their crews faced included not only storms and unpredictable waters, but pirates on the high seas. For passengers, the voyage was always uncomfortable—and all too often dangerous. And, for enslaved Africans, forced to endure their own "middle passage," the voyage end was as great a nightmare as its beginning.
As always, History Now provides pedagogical support for its readers. The interactive feature in this issue provides visual reinforcement of our theme of transatlantic history through maps from the sixteenth century. Our master teachers, Bruce Lesh and Phil Nicolosi, offer suggestions for selecting the major themes of the five essays around which to build lessons for your classrooms. Sample lessons are provided by other master teachers. And, Mary-Jo Kline, our archivist, once again offers a wealth of online and print sources that will allow you to pursue the topics of all, or any, of the essays you have read. Taken together, the essays and the supporting materials will, we hope, give you fresh and exciting new topics as you introduce your students to the beginnings of their own society.

What to Know
- The organization Men Can Stop Rape leads youth groups in D.C. middle and high schools with the help of a $885,000 grant from the city.
- Nonprofit leaders and federal health officials say there is a link between "harmful social norms" and violence against women.
Earlier this year, a class of D.C. sixth graders grappled with what it means to be a man or a woman, a boy or a girl.
An educator visiting from the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) asked students at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School to list gender stereotypes.
Students called out that girls were emotional, that boys liked sports, that girls liked to cook and that boys were "too violent," Tyvon Hewitt recalled about leading the exercise.
Then, Hewitt called out each characteristic and asked the students to raise their hands for the preferences and characteristics they saw in themselves. Boys and girls both said they were emotional, liked sports and liked to cook, but no one said they were violent, silently agreeing that was a bad trait.
A sixth-grade boy approached Hewitt after the lesson and said he understood it.
"It kind of seems like all these things we stick to gender are just constructs," Hewitt said the child told him, using language he had just learned.
Hewitt, a 24-year-old who grew up in Southeast D.C., said he believes that teaching youth about gender roles can prevent violent behavior.
"You're showing them other options," he said.
Children and teenagers are key to stopping the domestic violence epidemic, according to organizations in D.C. and across the country that teach youth about gender roles and healthy relationships.
Federal health officials back up the claim that there is a link between narrow social conventions and violence.
"Studies show that individuals and communities adhering to restrictive and harmful social norms are more likely to perpetrate physical, sexual, and emotional violence against women," a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report published this year says.
Jasmine Mendez, a recent graduate of McKinley Technology High School in Northeast D.C., said participating in a yearlong program on gender roles and healthy relationships made her reconsider norms about how women and men should act.
"I used to think a relationship was a really different idea, like if a boyfriend is really jealous and went through your phone, he cares," she said. "But the club opened my eyes. If someone controls you, it's abusive."
Mendez, 18, participated in a Women Inspiring Strength and Empowerment (WISE) Club taught by the D.C. organization Men Can Stop Rape.
Men Can Stop Rape works with people as young as elementary school-age to prevent violence. They lead youth groups in 25 states and in public middle schools and high schools throughout D.C. City records show the organization received more than $885,000 from the D.C. Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants for financial year 2016.
The WISE Clubs and Men Can Stop Rape's groups for boys, called Men of Strength (MOST) Clubs, teach young people to identify and challenge concepts of masculinity that cast boys and men as dominant. Inside a MOST Club, boys don't need to only be strong, aggressive and in-control; they can also be vulnerable, thoughtful and caring.
Men Can Stop Rape Executive Director Neil Irvin said raising kids' consciousness about gender roles and boosting their confidence helps prevent violence.
"Young people who have a stake in their own futures are less likely to buy into the attitudes or behaviors that connect to domestic violence," he said at the start of October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Mendez, who spoke with News4 as she passed out information about Men Can Stop Rape at a youth health fair, participated in a series of YouTube videos the organization created. One video shows teens working through "the stereotypes that men and women are expected to live up to." Another video mixes conversation about sexism and sneaker culture.
"We basically take topics we usually don't talk about and combine them with things we talk about every day," Mendez explained.
Middle schoolers and high schoolers join MOST and WISE clubs of 15 students or less after they receive a nomination telling them they have been identified as a leader, Men Can Stop Rape community education director Jason Page said. The students are flattered, so they check out the activities held at lunchtime and after-school, which often include free pizza.
A study conducted for Men Can Stop Rape in 2011 found that after one year in a MOST club, the majority of teen boys who participated were more likely to intervene when a boy inappropriately touched a girl or when someone shouted a sexual comment at a girl. The survey included 58 teens in five states.
Irvin recommends starting to talk with even younger children about healthy relationships. With young children, the lessons are not about sexual assault or violence, he said. Instead, Men Can Stop Rape teaches young children "social and emotional skills" through play.
"An 8-year-old learns it how an 8-year-old needs to learn it," Irvin said.
In addition to Men Can Stop Rape, LAYC, which is based in D.C. and runs programs in three Maryland locations, teaches health lessons in public schools that explore gender roles, program manager Cecilia Dos Santos said. In January, they will offer a 12-hour program for males age 16 to 22 that focuses on masculinity and gender equity.
People who conduct and study gender education training for youth caution that training sessions cannot single-handedly prevent domestic and sexual violence; rather, individual change and cultural change take a long time.
"I would never want anyone to think that Men Can Stop Rape would say, 'Hey, come to our workshop or do this curriculum session and young people are going to understand domestic violence," Irvin said. "It just doesn't work that way."
Dr. Kathleen Basile, a behavioral scientist at the CDC who studies sexual violence, said that while "norms against violence are highly associated with gender norms," teaching youth about gender roles needs to be part of a comprehensive approach to violence prevention.
"That's just part of the puzzle," she said.
To prevent sexual violence, the CDC also recommends providing opportunities to empower women and girls, creating safe school and workplace environments, and teaching young people empathy and "emotion regulation."
Such lessons for youth need to be long-term, said Basile.
"It's not just a 20-minute session," she said. "You really have to get repeated doses from many sources."
A CDC study published last year linked homophobic teasing by middle school students to sexual harassment by the same students two years later. If parents and communities can change children's ideas about gender at a young age, they may be able to prevent them from becoming abusive later in life.
"If we can challenge these rigid ideas about masculinity and femininity, we might be in a better position to prevent sexual violence," Basile said.
LAYC case manager Kelsey Norton said she believes children and teens can handle concepts that adults sometimes think are too difficult for them. She said she is constantly impressed by young people's desire to learn and speak out against behavior they think is wrong.
"If you give these kids the space and freedom to express something, they're there," she said.

Staple Riot TankStaple
Founded in New York City over a decade ago, Staple is a story of a true entrepreneur and his legacy. In 1997, acting on a desire to communicate through design, founder Jeff Ng aka Jeffstaple began printing his own t-shirts. One day, Ng walked into a popular streetwear boutique wearing one of his own creations. The owner of the store took notice and, well, the rest is history. Today, Staple is a globally distributed street culture lifestyle brand that houses three divisions: A creative consulting firm, a retail space, and, of course, a line of fashion forward menswear. Often flaunting the brand's signature pigeon logo, Staple apparel has become a celebrated name in street culture.
