Nautilus Love
As you can see, I have just done a simple gradient between the base[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] and bg[GTK_STATE_SELECTED] from the active theme. I think it works quite well in practice, and doesn't 'steal' the focus away from the main icon/list view.
I have also added a GTK_STOCK_EDIT button in the bottom right, clicking this will swap the tags GtkLabel, to a GtkEntry, so you can edit the tags.
I also got round to adding some of the other tiles, and some icon/thumbnail support. Below are some screenshots (with different colour schemes to show how well behaved the gradient is ;).
As you can see in the Image tile, if an image has data about the camera/camera model, the title will reflect this (don't laugh at my camera model ;), exactly like what happens with a music file.
I still need to add the document tile, but I have left that till last because it will have a snippet of the contents, and I need to decide on how to present this!
I am still making code changes, so if you have any more ideas, or want to add anything to the tiles, let me know in the usual ways.

Very nice.
When are you going to have something we can try out?
- 16 February 2007 at 02:21
That is very cool, hopefully it will get integrated into Nautilus sometime in the (very)near future
- 16 February 2007 at 03:31
I LOVE IT! Can't wait to get some code to play with, but take as much time as ya need :-) . You have a loyal lurker here!

you rocks !!!
you have a lot of good ideas, and better, you are able to transform it in reality.
btw what tools do you use for developing ?
- 16 February 2007 at 06:18
Great work.
What do you think about adding a bit of visible border around this metainfo thingie ?

Thanks everyone!
@patrick: Hopefully soon, I want to make sure it is robust before releasing anything. Especially as it is integrated into the single most inmportant thing on your desktop!
@marco: Just the usual, Vim, GIMP and the greatest piece of software ever: Devhelp :).
@anon: Sounds good, I'll have a go and see how it looks.
- 16 February 2007 at 08:46
Neil, congratulations. Your ideas are always interesting and they are incredibly fast to turn into reality! :)
BTW if you want to stay fair with actual Nautilus and want more chances to get this to upstream (i hope so!)... how about adopting the present layout for custom headers in Nautilus? The one you see in the burn:/// directory, for example.
I've cooked up two mockups, having added an expander to the mix.
Collapsed info:
Expanded info:
Please don't pay attention to the actual text layout, it's just to give you an idea. What do you think?
Thank you anyway :)

I made an other mockup. It's really funny to see that I'm not alone in my room to thing about thoose things... :-D

@pollycoke : Its weird how we are on the same page :) I had the expander idea and was going to blog (with screenshots) tonight!! It looks exactly like what you have show...how weird is that ?
Regarding moving the widget to the "extra-location-widget" area at the top, it sounds good, I'll try it tonight. Also, I might aswell make the solid orange look better while I am at it :)

"That's the power of love!" (cit. Huey Lewis and the News)
Seriously, that can only mean they're some pretty good ideas :D
- 16 February 2007 at 13:32
I hope that Nautilus will adopt soon your innovation!
On the backend side I hope you will look to native embedded metadatas like XMP(http://f-spot.org/Imported_tags), id3tag, there is also the standard Dublin Core (http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/)
On the frontend, I think it could be nice to show a minimun set of fields, e.g tags(subject), size, author,.. and show less common fields as an advanced view (>>) eg. Flash, Exposure,..
The advanced fields to show could be associated to the mime type but also user-defined (like the nautilus' columns).
I read that Windows Vista reads EXIF/IPTC/XMP for the images and it writes XMP-only. Probably this is the best approch to have persistent metadatas attached to files.

Was version 117 supposed to fix the 'windows rest upon the dock' problem? I only ask because it did not fix it for me.
- 16 February 2007 at 22:56
Everybody likes to suggest to you mockups.. so here's mine
I think:
- the "metadata panel" should be in the bottom, because it is an extra
- it shouldn't be in the sidebar because the tags field could be long
- it should show just important fields (depends on mime) and the rest belongs to a new tab in the proprierty of Nautilus.
- 16 February 2007 at 23:23
Very interesting, looking forward to playing with it. Will this also work with spatial nautilus?
And what will happen if more than one file is selected?
- 16 February 2007 at 23:57
Probably something that should be implemented in version 2.0 (or 0.2 or whatever form of versioning you desire,) but it would be cool to have little media controls displayed in the metadata tile.
For instance, select a video and in the metadata tile play/pause etc display and you can watch the video right in the tile.
This would be useful if you are in a folder filled with obscurely named videos with similar opening sequences, thus thumbnails simply wont do. Similar implementation could be used for audio.
Just a thought :-)

Looks nice! Is the code available anywhere? I'd like to get it working with Beagle.
- 17 February 2007 at 02:11
Neil: GNOME needs to appoint YOU as the President of the Foundation and the Leader of all things desktop. You seem to be the only one that wants to make the desktop fun, exciting, feature-packed, colorful, powerful and useable at the _same_ time. exciting.
I saw the mock-up of your music-player/file manager application on Flickr and I wanted to do start on a project such as this using Python/Gstreamer. Please help! I want to learn how to override the boring stuff in GNOME and do something different for a change.
- 17 February 2007 at 09:35
No words, you are developing alone 2 important projects (awn and nautilus metadata reader) for a entire community.
Thanks for the awesome work!

@grigio: The tile just pulls the metadata from Tracker. I am not sure what tracker uses internally to extract metadata, you can check on the project website. Regarding the actually editing of metadata, I am still thinking of how to do it properly. Its something I will tackle after getting the 'displaying' part done correctly.
@enrico: that look v. good! I have made some changes to allow for two modes (minal & full). I'll post an update soon :).
@patrick : this is fixed as of today (I couldn't access code.google.com yesterday).
@grigio : thats the look that I am hoping for (including the rating stars), I think you'll be inpressed with my next update :).
@anon : ATM on multiple files, it does nothing, but I want it to allow you to edit the tags of the files as a group.
@anon2 : This will be implemented in Awn 0.3, when apps can control their icons/tiles/popup menus through DBus.
@joe : I am spending today cleaning up the code and adding stubs for Beagle, I hope to post a patch this evening (GMT).
@anon3: LOL, I couldn't do half the stuff they do! Without the boring stuff you can't do the exciting stuff! Feel free to make a media based on the UI ideas, just mail (njpatel_AT_gmail_DOT_com) me as/when you need help getting Gtk to behave :).
@superman : Thank you!

Here's a question for you:
My dock sometimes 'picks up' the background of whatever is behind it and keeps it until I right click or refresh the dock.
Here is what it looks like:
Here is what it looks like after right-clicking on it:
I'm guessing it's a Beryl issue, rather than your dock, but I thought I'd let you know.

I have been lurking watching Tracker for some time and I LOVE these ideas!
My favourite two "community" mockups so far, though, are:
I think being able to rate *any* file is invaluable when metadata querying. The tile should offer fundamental information by default, but allow for an "expanded info" view.
I also love the idea of a live preview of media. Obviously this will have its limits, but boy would that be clever!
- 2 March 2007 at 09:49
This could very much replace the status bar... Looks nice

Do you have a GNOME Bug Id for this patch already? Bug 415684 works into a similiar direction. I want to join our efforts.

It would be better to add this on the side, as a large proportion of modern monitors are much wider than they are tall, so the vertical space is much more precious.

But for communication use Discord 'cause it's awesome.
First I want to apologize, I did not research the internet to see if there is anything already like this. I am looking for some random 3-5 people who would be interested in forming a Video Game Book Club. The intent of this is to have individuals we can share our experience. To be honest, I am looking for this to be low maintenance. I have very little time to game as is and I prefer that time not to be consumed with managing rather than experiencing. Due to this, I prefer communicating via group instant messenger like KIK/FB Messenger or if someone has better examples. The reason I am trying to do this, is that I am 32 years old with a wonderful wife and beautiful daughter who is about to turn 1. As great as they are, they do not share passion for gaming and at my age and career its hard to find others locally who have the same interest where I cannot invest a lot of time socialize outside of gaming/work/and family responsibilities. If anyone is interested please respond below with any thoughts, brief description of yourself, a few favorite games/ genres something to get an idea of your taste especially if there is anything you would prefer to stay away from such as rogue likes. Also please indicate which system you would consider playing and messenger apps you have.
Isn't that what we have the video game journal for?
Pretty much this: http://www.rpgfan.com/retro_encounter.html

They're cheaply made in mass quantities. They can usually be found on lampposts, the sides of buildings under construction and bedroom walls.
They're cheaply made in mass quantities. They can usually be found on lampposts, the sides of buildings under construction and bedroom walls.
They're posters. Those ads for bands and political causes, or images of sports stars and supermodels. For many they're what you walk by on your way to somewhere else, or maybe they still decorate that bedroom wall at a parents' house.
People rarely think of them as art, but the Duxbury Art Association wants to change that with an upcoming exhibit.
Like the recent exhibit of skateboards, the poster exhibit is intended to attract a different sort of audience to the Ellison Center, said Executive Director Mary Beth Brown.
"We had such success with the skateboard show," she said, "the work was really outstanding." Exhibits such as these, she said, "attract people who make art, but don't necessarily see themselves as artists."
"We're trying to get an age group that's not usually in the building," said Jessica Horton, who is helping to organize the exhibit.
Horton, who graduated with a degree in graphic design from UMass-Amherst last year has designed a number of posters herself, many for friends who have bands. A fan of Artist Shepard Fairey, best known for his Barack Obama "hope poster" and his legal troubles, and turn-of-the20th century Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, she also designed a poster used for the memorial for the late Bob Polar, who ran the Levitate skate shop in Marshfield.
As for Brown, a favorite poster of hers, which adorns her bulletin board is a simple red with white lettering work from World War 2 England that read "Keep Calm and Carry On." A message she finds useful in these times.
Typography, notes Horton, is an important part of a poster, since, usually, there is some sort of message that needs to get out, be it commercial or political.
Posters, Brown said are "an area of art that gets overlooked as too commercial. There's really a lot of creativity out there."
In keeping with the nature of the medium, the works will be thumb tacked to the gallery walls.
Will posters tacked to the wall bring in new faces?
"Who knows?" said Brown, "but it's worth a try,"
The DAA does eight shows a year, said Brown, and while they often feature more traditional work, sometimes "she likes to throw something out that shakes the tree."
Submissions will be accepted starting Nov. 2. The exhibit opens Nov. 12

This weekend we were staying with our friends, and telling them how much we love the Trader Joe's roasting chicken. They love their farmer's market one, so we thought we'd do a taste test. Then it somehow turned into a throw-down, between my husband Matt, and our friend Stephanie. She is a big believer in the Marcella Hazan method, which is to begin with the bird roasting upside down, so it's self-basting. She stuffs hers with lemon. Matt stuffs his bird with an onion, a lemon, and a thyme rub on the outside.
(that's Stephanie's above, and Matt's below)
The judges were conflicted. They liked the flavor of Matt's, but preferred the juiciness of Stephanie's, along with the actual taste of her bird.
Stephanie was the winner. But we all agreed that if you combined Matt's seasoning, with Stephanie's method, you'd have a roast chicken that everyone would talk about for days.

Tarragon Shrimp Salad
Shrimp salad is really a "no recipe" recipe. You can simply toss some chopped cooked shrimp with mayonnaise and whatever seasonings you like, and you've got shrimp salad. I'm sharing the my version because every time I serve it I get requests for the recipe. It uses ingredients you probably have on hand. The secret to my shrimp salad is chopped fresh tarragon and two seasonings: Cajun and Old Bay. The salad can be served atop lettuce leaves for lunch or spread on crackers with cocktails.
Tarragon Shrimp Salad
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, place a lettuce leaf on each salad plate. Top with a scoop of the shrimp salad and serve with the crackers.
Makes 4 main dish or 6-8 side dish servings.

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
it seems that Nestorius himself did not teach that Jesus exists in two persons, but only that Mary was the mother of Jesus' flesh rather than His divinity.
I would consider it a privilege to live among these same people who preserve ancient Aramaic, the language which Jesus and the Apostles spoke, and the customs of His era.
Which is itself a heresy!
BTW, I would wager that you have never been to an Assyrian liturgy--I have, three times. It's nice in some respects, not so nice in others.
An isolated group of people, that more or less has remained unchanged since the first century, would be very appealing to me.
I've thought about moving to India or some third world country to escape the trappings of modernity. I know that may sound hypocritical, considering that I am typing on a computer right now, but I do not always intend to live this way. An isolated group of people, that more or less has remained unchanged since the first century, would be very appealing to me. Do you have any sources to show that such continuity is a myth?
Do you have any sources to show that such continuity is a myth?
You have wagered correctly. I'd assume it is similar to the Liturgy of St. James celebrated in the Syrian Church. Is that true?
First question: Why would such a group necessarily let you live with them?ÂÂ
If they haven't changed, how would you communicate with them?ÂÂ
What to you imagine it would be like?ÂÂ
Escapism is not the Christian way. You would probably not survive very long in India, if you are anything like the myriad Americans I saw there who went there seeking "enlightenment" or "a new way."ÂÂ
George Lamsa has some New Age tendency, and he's a darling of the Protestants.
When Jesus instructed us to give up everything, take up His cross, and follow Him, was that a form of escapism?
I assume that it would be the Christian thing to do.
That's a good question. I'd probably have to learn Syriac. I wonder how possible that would actually be.
We'd live off the land, share everything in kind, and wouldn't need modern technology and culture to live meaningful lives.
America is Babylon. Living in a wealthy and powerful nation is not good if at the expense of so many others.
Without Western imperialism and economic globalization, we wouldn't enjoy our current comfort in the American way of life. When Jesus instructed us to give up everything, take up His cross, and follow Him, was that a form of escapism?
I've been hoping to leave this country for five years. Living in an a culture that is more simple would be desireable. Like Mother Theresa, I would hope to actually help those in need.
I'm sorry. But you seem to have no idea about what real life for real human beings in places that you are not familiar with is like. You scorn your 'here and now' and look for some kind of imagined earthly paradise. It isn't there. There is still sin and sorrow and disease and pain.
America has plenty of poor and not powerful people and places in it.
 Would you have the strength and determination to stay the course for many years with a child with a disability? Or a family member with depression? Sticking to a promise even if it's hard sometimes? ÂÂ
Do you think that you have what Mother Theresa had?ÂÂ
Are you trying to escape from your own life situation?
This I know, especially growing up in a lower middle class family. Despite the great wealth of our nation, there is also great disparity between the super rich and the very poor. I'd rather live in a nation without wealth than one where wealth is so unevenly distributed.
George Lamsa was a member of the Assyrian Orthodox Church, and his scholarship is considered questionable at best by most Protestants.
Is there any place where we can give up modern technology and live like the first-century Christians?
Funny - I didn't know you knew most Protestants, at least they haven't mentioned you.
The Nestorians are seen a sort of 'proto-Protestants' by many as many of the things Protestants hate Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy for are lacking with the Nestorians
In discussion with an Assembly of God minister about just this subject during the first week of July, I made the suggestion that learning Western Syriac and reading the Peshitto would be more reliable (note, not the Nestorian Peshitta.)
If one wants that life, there is always the 'monastic desert'
The Assyrian Church of the East to which George Lamsa belonged is not Nestorian in its Christology, that is a strawmen often made against them, and Lamsa himself. However, I would be open to contrary evidence.
Lamsa was a Protestant until his death.
The Peshitta itself is a 4th c. reduction of older Aramaic texts (Peshitta meaning 'simple'.)
Lamsa himself taught such oddities as "the Eastern Christians believe in one God with three attributes, instead of three persons."
He looked forward to a 'New World Order' without borders.
I'd suggest a little more research before making a hero out of the man. Have you read any of his other books perhaps?
I am not looking for an earthly paradise, that would be impossible. I'd rather live in a country where this is more suffering, and less comfort, than we have in the United States. We are fed so much jingoism that we are the best nation of all time simply because of the power and wealth we yield, an idea which I find detestable.
Is there any place where we can give up modern technology and live like the first-century Christians?
If so, why did he have such distaste for Western Christianity?
The oldest complete manuscript of the New Testament is the Aramaic Peshitta:
That is a difference in language rather than doctrine.
Wasn't that just the hope for a messianic age of peace?
I own the Lamsa Bible and Gospel Light, both I read rather often. ÂÂ
This I know, especially growing up in a lower middle class family. Despite the great wealth of our nation, there is also great disparity between the super rich and the very poor. I'd rather live in a nation without wealth than one where wealth is so unevenly distributed.
I am not an especially good or strong person, such things take time.
No, there is nothing about me that would make me comparable to any saint. What I'm saying is that I'd rather work for the benefit of others rather than for a paycheck. I wouldn't mind sleeping on a cot and eating only bread, because the work of God is worth such sacrifice.
I enjoy my current life situation. I am doing well at school, have a good family, attend a great church, and am dating a nice girl. But I know that there is more to life than this, and I'd be willing to give up everything to find it.
When we look at the lives of the saints, they were oftentimes rather well off people who gave up all earthly possessions and attachments to work for the greater glory of God. I don't see why, at some point, I shouldn't do the same. I don't want to be famous, and it wouldn't matter if I died and no one remembered me. But for the time that I am on this earth, I want to make it count.
No - it isn't a language difference, but a difference of *dogma*
I do think that it's a matter of language. Assyrian Christians would rather use the word "attributes" than "persons" to describe the Trinity, as to not be accused of tritheism. This makes sense, considering the predominance of Islam in that region.
It helps keep them from being accused of Orthodoxy as well. Language is real - errors in language are real errors - one can say 'three persons' in East Syriac as any other language without expressing 'tritheism'.
What I am saying is that in Lamsa's mind, one could believe in the Trinity, that God exists in three persons, without actually using the word "person." If he were anti-trinitarian, one would expect such a bias to creep into his translation of the New Testament.
According to Lamsa, the term "three persons" implies three gods to the average Semitic mind, which is why Jews and Muslims have traditionally rejected Trinitarian doctrine.
Also, the Greek concept 'person' does *not* mean 'substance' in English (that would be confusing prosopon with ousion.) It shows not only an ignorance of Greek, but especially an ignorance of English.
Yes. Go to PA, OH, or MO, and be AmishAnd while you're there, give up any modern mediciene, contract a simple cold, and die from it. Because that's what you would have done in the first century.
And while you're there, give up any modern mediciene, contract a simple cold, and die from it. Because that's what you would have done in the first century.
If one doesn't use the word Trinity, and refuses that there is One God in three persons, they they are not a Trinitarian. What Lamsa was: a user of slick sophistry to sell his own Protestant ideology. Not for nothing his works and considered cultic.
Lamsa probably was a Trinitarian, even though he disliked the word "Trinity." To dislike a word does not mean that one disagrees with the concept behind the word. St. Augustine disliked the word "persons" when speaking of the Trinity...

These watches may look as though they're from a future era, but the LED-based timepieces could be just the thing to adorn your wrist and compliment your I-LUV-UNIX T-shirt.
Do you know what time it is?
Japanese firm Tokyo Flash has been selling an extensive range of LED watches locally for some time, but it's now working with UK company Techdeals to encourage Brits into making one of life's easiest everyday tasks more stylish but that much harder.
The Twelve 5-9 range uses a combination of 12 LEDs for the hour of the day, five LEDs for tens of minutes and nine LEDs for single minutes. There's various models in this format, with one that looks as though its borrowed Knight Rider's scanning light.
Barcode: the sum of various LEDs show the time
Alternatively, the Barcode range displays time like an abacus, using each LED 'bead' to represent five or ten units. You'll have to be at the peak of your mental fitness, though, because you'll have to add all the LEDs values together to get the current time.
Retsu: LED lines tell the time
Another design, dubbed Retsu, has just one line of LEDs that stack up vertically against ascending digits. For example, an LED line extending to seven, then four and finally three means the time is 7.43, but leaves the AM or PM decision up to the wearer.
If you're more concerned about style though, then the watches are available with a wide range of straps, a selection of LED colours and enough designs to keep you mentally stimulated. Just don't wear one to the pub.
The UK selection is available here now, with prices ranging from £60 (€85/$120) to £100 (€125/$200).

[First published September 29, 2005] I don't see the need to respond to every criticism of my research unless doing so cast more light on the democratic peace, or the incredible democide of the last century, being carried over into our new one by the ruling thugs in Burma, Sudan, and North Korea. For this reason, I will pay some attention to Dr. John Grohol's item on my research and attendant criticism (here).
I will quote his points and respond to each below:
Rummel's conclusions have been criticized the lack of definite correlation. He neglects current conflicts between Israel and Palestine as well as India and Pakistan, all of which are democratic nations–although Rummel's defenders would retort that Palestine was never a real democracy until 2005, and that Pakistan is ruled by a strongman who wields a great deal of undemocratic power.
Moreover, were Israel truly at war with Palestine, Palestine would be destroyed due to the enormous disparity of power, and if Pakistan and India were truly at war with each other then tens of millions would die. Rummel's real point is that democracies rarely go to war with each other, and liberal democracies (defined by free speech, free press, and universal franchise) never do. Neither Pakistan nor Palestine, at this time, qualifies as a liberal democracy.
RJR: He raises the criticism and then rebuts it himself
Rummel's conclusions have also been criticized for not considering the number of deaths due to anarchy and the lack of government, through mechanisms such as civil conflict, the breakdown of society, and foreign invasion.
RJR: I do, and my estimates for each country include that for war dead and internal nondemocidal violence. Moreover, the most anarchical system is international relations, wars of which I have tallied and included in my analysis.
Some have found the data that he uses to be questionable.
RJR: This is unhelpful. Details please.
Other people point out that his methods of calculation of the death toll are highly controversial. He compares the statistical data before and after a certain date and derives an estimate about the number of killings that occurred between.
RJR: This is called interpolation, and what interpolation is wrong is not detailed.
However, he fails to establish evidence of actual killing.
RJR. No indication of what estimates of mine were wrong. I use all kinds of documents to establish democide, such as refugee reports, memoirs, biographies, historical analyses, actual exhumed body counts, records kept by the murderers themselves, and so on.
Moreover, his results are based on an absolute trust in statistical data and statistics are prone to errors. However, he himself uses the wider sense of "killed by", including all kinds of "reason-result" relationships between acts of government and actual deaths. Moreover, in calculating the number of victims, he doesn't feel he needs evidence of a death; the result of statistical calculation is, for Rummel, effective proof that death occurred.
RJR: Wrong. This deserves a full response: I don't believe any of my estimates of democide tell the true death toll. Nor do I believe anyone will ever know the precise number of people murdered in any democide, including the Holocaust (estimates in this best of all studied genocides and with the best archival and other records still differ by over 40%). Then what is the purpose of estimating democide? Two reasons dominate: moral assessment, and related scientifically based policy. Democide is a crime against humanity, one of the worst crimes the rulers or leaders of a government can commit. But there are levels of democide, and I see a moral difference between rulers that murder at different orders of magnitude (powers of ten). That is, I find the evil of a Stalin who most probably murdered over 20,000,000 people (and this seems to encompass 99.9 percent of all estimates) greater than rulers who murdered 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, or even 1,000,000. More specifically, my moral gauge clicks in at orders of magnitude. (There are other moral gauges, of course, such as the proportion of a population murdered; how people were murdered, such as randomly or by ethnicity or race; whether the intent was genocide or revenge, etc.) The moral question for me is then whether an estimate captures the order of magnitude. While I don't think we can ever get a true estimate, I do think we can bracket the range of estimates within which the true value must be found, either absolutely or probabilistically.
As to the second criteria for accepting an estimate, my concern is to forecast the most likely order of magnitude of democide based on the characteristics of a society, nation, culture, ruler, leadership, people, geography, and so on. This is a scientific problem and engages methodological and technical questions inappropriate here. What is appropriate to the question of errors in democide estimates is at what level of error we get meaningful enough results to define the causation involved in democide, when no actual estimate is true. And since the estimates are usually close enough in magnitudes to enable us to rank nations, and divide them into groups of more or less, then we have enough precision to carry out scientific tests as to what causes democide.
For an example of alleged manipulation: Rummel estimates the death toll in the HYPERLINK "http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/Rheinwiesenlager"Rheinwiesenlager ( see here) as between 4,500 and 56,000. Official US figures were just over 3,000 and a German commission found 4,532. The high figure of 56,000 also merited the notation "probably much lower" in Rummel's extracts.
RJR: Misleading. This is about the German POWs that died in American camps after the war due to mistreatment and lack of care. The different estimates I used are record here (lines 228-237). As you can see, the estimates generally are close to the ones given above, and I end up with a range of 3,000 to 56,000, with a most probable estimate of 6,000. Grohol does not understand that the low and high are meant to be the most unlikely low and high, and thus to bracket the probable true count (I did point this out). It is to determine these lows and highs that I include what some others might consider absurd estimates. And in this case, my low and high does bracket the figures he gives.
Another flaw in Rummel's statistical calculations is that he doesn't use error margins.
RJR: Of what meaning are error margins when dealing with the universe of data, and not a sample? For example, if one takes a poll of 1,000 people about their opinion on the Iraq war, the result may be 48 percent favorable within a margin (standard deviation) of 2.4 percentage points. But, if the poll is taken of all American adults, this is the universe and there is no error margin or standard error. I am dealing with all estimates available in English for ALL NATIONS over a period of a century, and available in the libraries I worked in, including the Library of Congress. In no way can these estimates be considered a sample, not even a sample of all estimates (say those in the Russian, Chinese, and Korean archives), since then the estimates I used are not random, or selected in some statistical sense.
Link of Day
"5 yrs of intifada: 1,061 Israelis killed"
"Palestinians' celebrate five years of terror war"
Yes, celebrating the murder en mass of unarmed civilian women and children, mothers and fathers, and sometimes whole families, walking the street, eating in restaurants, dancing in a club, or marketing. Some who survived paralyzed, with lose of their limbs, blinded, or suffering life long internal injuries might envy the dead. And genocide scholars, mainly American and European Jews who tend to side with the Palestinians, refuse to recognize the genocide it was. A case of genocide denial by the very people who are outraged at those who deny the Holocaust. But, there is no denial by the Palestinians, there is celebration.

Attention Facebook and Twitter users: You're still at risk. Last year, our survey found that lots of people using social networking sites were taking the risk of financial loss, identity theft, and malware infection. Have things gotten any better? Well, the answer is yes but, unfortunately, not better enough — and potentially a lot worse for some of you.
The results of our 2010 survey reveals that more of you are adhering to some safe behaviors — like blocking profiles from being visible through public search engines. That's a good thing, but the downside is over 25 percent of you haven't changed your default privacy settings. And more that three quarters of survey respondents haven't placed any restrictions on who can see their recent activity.
I worry about this because you can't escape the fact that rogue operators are always trying to extract details about you. They want access to anything that can help them dig into your private life. They can break into Web mail accounts, get your credit card number, steal your identity, or even attack you through cyber-stalking.
And they'll do anything to get the info, from attacking you with malware to tricking you into revealing passwords.
With that, and our survey in mind, on the following page I've posted a few suggestions you can follow to protect yourself.
- Privacy Rules: Review your profiles on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo, and any other social or business networking site you use. Pay attention to the way the profile lets you protect your sensitive personal details by, say, restricting access to only family members or colleagues. A good rule is to examine and update your profile's privacy settings so you're exposing as little information as possible, while still able to do what you want.
- Take Advantage: Look over and take advantage of any enhanced security and privacy options offered by social networking sites, such as blocking messages from people you don't know.
- Knock Knock: People banging at your social networking door could be carrying a grab bag of malware to get access to your address book, or worse, your passwords. Be careful of e-mail and friend requests from people you don't know; stay cautious even if the name is familiar and limit their access. Clicking on links can be risky too, because they can lead to nefarious sites. (see Security Barricades below).
- Potent Passwords: Here's the drill for everyone at Webroot — we use strong passwords, change them often, and never, ever use the same password on more than one site. Want to test the relative strength of the passwords you use? Check out the Password Meter, which will grade how well you pick hard-to-guess passwords. Need a convenient place to store all those hard-to-guess passwords? Give LastPass a trial run.
- Security Barricades: It's essential you have software to protect you from viruses, spyware, and malware. You might start by checking your PC with a free scan to see if there are any hidden viruses lurking. As the Chief Technology Officer, I'm proud to say you can protect your PC with our Webroot Antivirus, which includes antivirus, antispyware, and firewall technologies.
- Get the Latest: Antivirus and anti-spyware software have to be regularly updated with the latest malware definitions; otherwise, you're not fully protected. But that's not enough: You need to update every critical application, including your operating system, Internet browsers, and other programs that are vulnerable to attacks. For instance, Adobe's Flash Player and Acrobat Reader, as well as Sun's Java all recommend updating regularly. One word of caution: always update directly from the application Internet site; links in e-mail or from a social networking message might offer fake updates

Are you in need of cash?
Do you want to consolidate your debts?
Are you receiving home equity loan or refinancing offers that seem too good to be true?
Does your home need repairs that contractors tell you can be easily financed?
If you are a homeowner who needs money to pay bills or for home repairs, you may think a home equity loan is the answer. But not all loans and lenders are the same--you should shop around. The cost of doing business with high-cost lenders can be excessive and, sometimes, downright abusive. For example, certain lenders--often called "predatory lenders"--target homeowners who have low incomes or credit problems or who are elderly by deceiving them about loan terms or giving them loans they cannot afford to repay.
Borrowing from an unscrupulous lender, especially one who offers you a high-cost loan using your home as security, is risky business. You could lose your home and your money. Before you sign on the line,
Think about Your Options
If you're having money problems, consider these options before you put your home on the loan line.
If you decide a loan is right for you, talk with several lenders, including at least one bank, savings and loan, or credit union in your community. Their loans may cost less than loans from finance companies. And don't assume that if you're on a fixed income or have credit problems, you won't qualify for a loan from a bank, savings and loan, or credit union--they may have the loan you want!
Do Your Homework
Contact several lenders--and be very careful about dealing with a lender who just appears at your door, calls you, or sends you mail. Ask friends and family for recommendations of lenders. Talk with banks, savings and loans, credit unions, and other lenders. If you choose to use a mortgage broker, remember they arrange loans but most do not lend directly. Compare their offers with those of other direct lenders.
Be wary of home repair contractors that offer to arrange financing. You should still talk with other lenders to make sure you get the best deal. You may want to have the loan proceeds sent directly to you, not the contractor.
Comparison shop. Comparing loan plans can help you get a better deal. Whether you begin your shopping by reading ads in your local newspapers, searching on the Internet, or looking in the phone book, ask lenders to explain the best loan plans they have for you. Beware of loan terms and conditions that may mean higher costs for you. Get answers to these questions and use the worksheet to compare loan plans:
Interest Rate and Payments
Term of Loan
Points and Fees
Credit Insurance
After you have answers to these questions, start negotiating with more than one lender. Don't be afraid to make lenders and brokers compete for your business by letting them know you are shopping for the best deal. Ask each lender to lower the points, fees, or interest rate. And ask each to meet--or beat--the terms of the other lenders.
Once You've Selected a Lender, Get the Following
Think Twice before You Sign
Don't Sign on the Dotted Line if the Lender …
Know that You Have Rights under the Law
You Have 3 Business Days to Cancel the Loan
If you're using your home as security for a home equity loan (or for a second mortgage loan or a line of credit), federal law gives you 3 business days after signing the loan papers to cancel the deal--for any reason--without penalty. You must cancel in writing. The lender must return any money you have paid to date.
Do You Think You've Made a Mistake?
Has the 3-day period during which you may cancel passed and you're worried that you've gotten in over your head? Do you think your loan fees were too high? Do you believe you were steered into monthly payments you can't afford? Has your lender repeatedly pressured you to refinance? Is your loan covered by insurance you don't need or want?
If you think you've been taken advantage of, state and federal laws may protect you. Also, the following organizations may be able to help:
You can learn more about credit and home equity loans by visiting the federal government's web site for consumers, www.consumer.gov (see the Home and Community section). If you don't have access to the Internet, ask a friend or relative to get the information for you. Or visit your local library or senior center, which may offer you free access to the Internet on their computers.

Living Space by Acclaimed Designer
Acclaimed Designer Illustrates The Wonder Box Living Space
The lead designer of the highlighted project Wonder Box - Living Space by Acclaimed Designer explicates, Focusing on functional simplicity, this is a large structure that sits in the centre of the flat and yet gives convenience to the family's daily activities. This is achieved by manipulating the existing space to maximise the living and storage areas, taking into account the natural light, ventilation and flow of human circulation. The 'floating' Wonder Box extends from the kitchen to the sleeping zone, ensuring a visual continuity throughout the home. The box forms the core of the flat and hides a bomb shelter, two bathrooms, wardrobes and ample storage space for the family..

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) political capital is about to fall to advancing forces of the Sri Lankan Army. Several Special Infantry (SI) formations of SLA's 57-1 brigade have already moved into the town and secured several parts of it including the railway station. Majority of LTTE resistance in the area has either been crushed by the army or has been forced to retreat. Official announcement of the fall of tiger stronghold is expected anytime now.
Meanwhile even the LTTE's primary weapon, the black tigers (aka suicide bombers), were not able to stop the army onslaught in this instance. LTTE's Female black tiger command (9-3 base) located in Karadiyapokku (located on the northern boundaries of Kilinochchi town) was overrun by 58 division units several hours ago. A senior black tiger leader was among those killed in the battle.

When Pete called to tell me that he'd finally got around to dragging his bobhouse out onto his favorite Big Lake cove and wanted to know if I wanted to join him for a day of trout fishing, it didn't take me long to agree to go along. He always sets his shanty in a spot that I fished for decades, and when he said they were catching lake trout with some regularity, I was ready to go.
"I've fished out there six times," he admitted. "We've caught lake trout every time and my son managed to catch a three-pound rainbow on a tip-up that he set just a few feet from the bobhouse."
Pete insisted we get there just before daylight and agreed to stop at for two dozen live bait on the way. All I had to do was get my gear together and meet him at the pull-off where we park. He'd have his two four-wheelers on the trailer.
After dinner I went down to the basement and grabbed my favorite jigging rod and a pair ofmy best tip-ups. Then I put new leaders and hooks on the traps and took a few minutes to sharpen the hooks on a handful of my favorite trout jigs before I headed to the kitchen and cooked up some venison steak with onions and peppers for some sandwiches to eat while we fished from the bobhouse.
It took me about an hour to drive around the lake to my destination and when I arrived, Pete was already there, both four wheelers backed off the trailer and running.
"I haven't been here 10 minutes," he said as he helped me tie my basket to one of the machines.
"Follow me......the bobhouse is a few hundred yards from where we usually fish."
The sun was just starting to creep over Gunstock Mountain as we drove onto the ice. Normally the bobhouse is straight off the trail that leads to the lake.However, as soon as we hit the ice, my buddy started bearing to the right. Five minutes later, we reached the shack.
"I've found a new spot," he said with a grin as we climbed from the machines."We tried fishing the old spot several times and couldn't catch a trout. We did manage a few decent white perch, but that was it."
"Are you catching the lake trout with a jig stick or a tip-up?" I asked.
"Mostly jigging," he revealed.
He unlocked the door of the bobhouse and while I held a flashlight, he threw two handfuls of pea coal in a little pot belly stove and lit it.
"When that gets going we won't need our coats in here," he said as he lifted the covers off two holes and chopped out an inch or so of ice from their holes.
"Looks like you were out here yesterday," I said as I set my pack basket on one of the chairs.
Before we went into the bobhouse, Pete took the chisel and opened up two holes about 30 feet apart in front on the shack.
"You take the one on the left," he suggested. "The water here is about 23 feet deep. We've been having our best luck fishing a live smelt about three feet off the bottom."
I sounded for bottom, set a marker on my line and after hooking a lively smelt just behind the dorsal fin with a number 10 hook, I sent my line down the hole, making sure to set the line three feet off bottom. Pete did the same on his hole, then we headed inside the bobhouse.
I had already tied a nickel-colored Swedish pimple on my line, so I took a dead smelt, cut it in half and thread the tail end onto my hook before sending it to the bottom. When it hit bottom, I flipped my bail over and reeled up two turns and began slowly bouncing it off the seemingly mucky bottom.
"All we got to do is wait now," I said as I watched Pete set a coffee pot on the stove which was beginning to warm the small building.
We both worked our jigs constantly for what seemed like two hours without so much as a bite when Pete just happened to look out the window as my flag popped high in the air.
"There you go," he shouted as he pointed out the window.
I bailed out the door without my jacket and as I reached the tip-up I could see the spool still spinning. I eased the trap from the hole and with a quick jerk on the line, set the hook on what felt like a white perch. Minutes later, I slid a 14-inch long white perch from the hole.
For about 15 minutes, both Pete and I tended flags and managed to land four big white perch. When the action subsided we went back into the bobhouse and continued to jig.
I managed to jig out two yellow perch and another white perch. Then, I watched as my buddy set the hook on something big.
"Now there's a fish!" Pete shouted as his tiny jigging rod doubled in half.
He carefully fought the fish for a good 10 minutes before sliding a 23-inch long lake trout through the hole.
"That's how it's done," he joked with a grin as he held it up.
We were hoping to hook into another one, however, that was the last action we had on our trip.
As we were loading our gear for the drive back to shore Pete turned to me and admitted that there's nothing like ice fishing on the big lake.
"I agree.....you never know what you're gonna catch," I added.

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy"- Mahatma Gandhi, Non-Violence in Peace and War
" I do wish people would not deceive themselves by talk of a just war. There is no such thing as a just war. What we are doing is casting out Satan by Satan. - Charles Hamilton Sorley.
Note: What i say here mostly is just for the sake of actually starting a debate for the purpose of discussion and awareness. I dont actually believe it. Im just taking the point of view of other people other than the one the mass media always presents.
In the recent talks about war in Iraq as a part of the "war on terror", this question has come up. Is what America is doing is just? After all, if you think about it in numbers, America has killed more people on their side than American Dead. Its just not the "War On Terror". Can that be called just? From this point of view, if there is anything that is called just, they (for the sake of the arguement. I dont actually believe this) are actually more justified in attacking America rather than America attacking them. (The terrorists i mean).Has any war in the history ever been just? After all, it all amounts to death and sorrow on both sides. What do you think? Is the war on terror just considering what the US have done to them FIRST? Or is there any war in our history that has ever been just? After all isnt it just a tad unfair that the US is singling out Iraq so much?
Look at this cartoons too:

The Fish:
Haddock is a demersal (or bottom-dwelling) fish typically found at depths of 130 to 985 feet. It prefers flat areas of sand, clay or gravel, and survives on small seafloor animals, cephalopods and fish. It can live up to 20 years, becoming sexually mature when it reaches 15 to 24 inches long—anywhere between 2 and 5 years of age.
Young haddock in the Barents Sea remain relatively stationary; however, larger haddock migrate long distances—down towards the coast of Northern Norway to the banks of Tromsøflaket to spawn. The most important spawning fields are in the North Sea along the continental shelf edge from Møre to Romsdal, and off of southwestern Iceland and the Faeroe Islands. Newly spawned haddock travel with the currents, heading for the seabed when they are 3 to 4 inches long.
Fishing equipment:
Haddock is fished year-round in the North Sea, mainly in the waters near the coast and in the fishing banks of northeastern Norway.
In the summer months, haddock are caught off Møre and Trøndelag using fishing lines and nets. Special whistle lines are used on the East Finnmark coast during the same season. Overall, the most important haddock fishing equipment includes Danish seine nets, trawl nets, traditional nets and fishing lines.
Haddock stocks north of 62° N are in good condition and produce enough fish to ensure safe and productive haddock fishing in the future. Haddock stocks in the North Sea have also been good, but recently, a number of weak years of have led to more-restrictive fishing quotas in that area.
Nutritional Value:
Haddock is especially rich in:
- Protein that builds and maintains every cell in the body
- Vitamin B12, which is important for the body in producing new cells, including red blood cells. Vitamin B12 can contribute to preventing anemia
- Selenium, an important element in an enzyme that fights harmful chemical processes in the body

Today will be the last update on this URL… however, hop on over to http://teacupsandcouture.com ! We ( meaning : me + the voices in my head) have outgrown wordpress.com and are now under an independent server, but still under wordpress -I know, more confusing than a hairless cat. The only difference is that you don't have to type "wordpress" in the URL anymore, so it works out well for us lazy typers!
So, in other words- update your links, your readers, (ie. bloglovin', etc) and re-subscribe to the new site. I tried to import all the subscriptions, but it rejected like a drunk John Galliano at a Bar Mitzvah. Anywho, I'm trying to do this as smooth as possible for my dear readers, but it's not working. So just re-subscribe to the new blog by clicking on the green email icon on the top-right corner of the new site . It will take you to a Feedburner page that lets you subscribe with just an email (you don't have to have a Feedburner account). And Voila! My insanity will flood your inbox on a daily basis!
I will still keep this site up for archives , but the other site will be where it's at. If you are another blog linking here, look for the post in the new site- chances are , it's there. The new site allows for advertising ( inquire within!), but I promise you won't see anything super annoying- I'm keeping the ads small and to the side and I'm going to focus on cool, independent online stores . Let's just say, the ad revenues allow me to continue running the site and feed my cats ( I swear if they had thumbs, they'd take over the house and make me their bitch.) So work with me….

Still tearing up after Thursday's series finale of The Office? OK, cool, because we're totally not either...
But for those fans not ready to let go of the Dunder Mifflin crew just yet, TVGuide.com has a special treat — an exclusive first look at the final farewell from Ed Helms, Ellie Kemper, Craig Robinson, Jake Lacy, Clark Duke and Creed Bratton.
The Office series finale: What happened to the Dunder Mifflin crew?
In the latest installment of the special video series, produced by John Krasinski, the cast reflects on their first days in Scranton, their favorite memories and what it feels like to say goodbye to Dunder Mifflin. "Rashida [Jones] and I joked a lot. It felt like we had just called into a radio station and won some prize — spend eight weeks on your favorite TV show," Helms says. "I love everyone involved and I'm sad to see it go and incredibly proud of what we've done together."
So what was Kemper's favorite episode? How did Bratton end up joining the series? Grab your tissues — if you have any left — and check out the touching interviews below:

If the East Bay town of El Cerrito doesn't leap to mind when you think of bastions of modern residential architecture, maybe it should. The city boasts a large stock of homes built between 1940 and 1970, many of which utilize the copious glass, straight lines, and indoor-outdoor spaces that came to define the mid-century modern look.
"We have houses by David Beverly Thorne, a Richard Neutra house, Campbell and Wong houses," CA-Modern features editor Dave Weinstein says of the city he calls home.
For those interested in learning more about El Cerrito's undersung architectural resources, Weinstein plans to lead a Nov. 3 lecture at one such dwelling, the Taves house (pictured), designed in 1953 by Berkeley architect Don Olsen.
Weinstein has written about his friend Olsen before, and will speak about the architect's career and work, as well as showing slides of other homes. He'll also lead a tour of the house, once home to Lou Gottleib of the Limeliters.
Two other notable Bay Area modern architects, Henrik Bull and Jack Roberts, will also speak about their careers. Bull, who got his start designing Tahoe-area vacation homes, helped define the Bay Tradition of modernism. Robbins also helped shape the style, building throughout the Bay Area, including his own award-winning home in Oakland.
Many of El Cerrito's other interesting homes are very close to the Taves house, so a self-guided walking tour may be in order, with a bit of direction from Weinstein.
The 2 p.m. event is free, but space is limited, so RSVP to Weinstein* soon in order to secure a spot.
*Note: An earlier version of this post included an incorrect email address for David Weinstein. If you sent an RSVP note to the address linked above, please click through the link again and send another, as the address has been corrected. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

How Often for Mammograms?
Changing recommendations for when women should get mammograms have created conflict and confusion. Not only do recommendations from different sources vary, but some have moved in opposite directions.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force scaled back its recommendation in 2009, saying women at average risk should begin screening at age 50 and repeat the test every two years. The group, the government's independent panel of preventive-health experts, said women in their 40s should discuss the pros and cons of screening, including possible false positives and follow-up tests, with their physicians. Previously the task force had recommended mammograms every one to two years starting at age 40.
In contrast, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists increased its recommendation in 2011, saying women should be offered a mammogram every year starting at age 40. The group previously advised women to get the test every one to two years in their 40s and then annually starting at age 50.

Lisa Kudrow shared her voice while performing "Smelly Cat" on television, and now, her former "Friends" co-star, Jennifer Aniston, is finally set to unleash her own pipes in an upcoming film.
Michael Sucsy, the director of Jennifer's next movie, "The Goree Girls," told E! News columnist Marc Malkin that the actress will share her vocal skills in the movie.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Angelina! Cameron! Jen! Leading Ladies Of The Big Screen
"She can sing," Sucsy said of Jennifer. "And she's going to learn how to play the Dobro [an acoustic guitar with metal parts]."
The movie, which is out in 2010, focuses on the real-life story of The Goree Girls All String Band. Eight imprisoned women in Texas formed the band in the early 1940s. The women wrote and performed music, which became popular on the radio.

According to Texas Monthly, seven million Americans would tune their antennas to hear the girl group every Wednesday evening.
"These women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments," Sucsy told E!. "They weren't these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together. That's what's interesting about it.
"It's not just like, 'Hey, you can play the guitar, I can play the piano, I can play the harmonica. Let's put a band together.' It's like, 'We have to get out of jail, and if we have to put a band together to do that, then that's what we're going to do,'" he added.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Life After 'Friends'
Although Jennifer has signed on for the role, her fellow bandmates have yet to be cast.
"The Goree Girls" is just one of several projects the former "Friends" star has lined up. She recently filmed "The Baster" alongside Jason Bateman and Patrick Wilson and was most recently spotted alongside Gerard Butler filming "The Bounty."

- Stapled and taped on the back to create a clean and seamless finish allowing the canvas to reset perfectly on the wall.
- All our canvases come with metal hangers attached ready to hang.
Bleed options explained
Cloned on Sides
We take about 1.5" [38mm] of the edge of the picture and duplicate it on the side of the canvas so that none of the frontal image is lost and creates a slight 3D effect. Also known as "mirrored" on the sides.
Wrapped on Sides
The entire image is stretched over the entire canvas. Meaning that the sides of the image will be on the side of the canvas. This gives the image a "flow" to it, however part of all 4 sides will be off the sides and can be "lost" depending on where the canvas is placed.
White Sides
We print the image on the front of the canvas, and add 1" [25mm] of white around the sides.
Black Sides
We print the image on the front of the canvas, and add 1" [25mm] of black around the sides.
Lacquer explained
A lacquer/varnish is a protective cover over the inks. The finish is recommended if your canvas is to go in a room with direct sunlight or in a room with high humidity. A lacquer/varnish finish can also enhances colours slightly. The lacquer/varnish finish will NOT create a glare off the canvas.
Please note our metal badges now feature on the side of the canvas.

You can add one or more watermarks, and have them displayed all the time throughout the video stream or only appear periodically.
Automated watermark scaling makes your mark appear of the same size regardless of video resolution, while convenient batch processing allows applying the watermark to all your videos with just a few clicks. Supporting numerous advanced watermarking features, this video watermark software is a truly indispensable tool for anyone doing video publishing or editing.
Video Watermark Maker allows you protecting and branding your video files without much extra effort. You can use any image, text, or combination of both to create your unique logo or watermark. Choose where in your image the watermark should appear, select its transparency level, save your work and apply the newly created watermark to all your videos in a single batch job!
You can make your digital watermark show up all the time while your video plays back, or specify the exact time intervals the logo should hide or appear. This allows producing videos with full immersion effect without compromising your copyright.
Do you publish your videos on YouTube? Copyright theft can and does happen over there. Protect your rights by embedding a custom watermark into your YouTube videos! Video Watermark Maker makes the whole process easy and fast, delivering best-in-class performance.
Embed watermarks containing any combination of images and text objects! You can rotate images to an arbitrary angle, apply shadow, glow and color toning effects to make your digital watermark match your style. For text watermarks you can customize fonts, colors and add all the special effects available for the images. You can use multiple watermarks in a single video by embedding multiple layers with custom transparency.
Processing a bunch of images in various formats and resolutions? Not a problem if you're using Video Watermark Maker! The tool will recognize videos encoded with a wide range of codecs in AVI, MP4, MP2, SVCD, DVD, FLV, M2V, 3GP, MOV, SWF, WMV, MKV, and RM10 formats, accommodating the size and resolution of the watermark to the size of each video.
You can also automate using Video Watermark Maker from third-party programs by making use of the command line. Video Watermark Maker supports command line parameters, allowing for fully automated batch operation with no user input.
Video streams may come from a variety of sources. Full HD, 720p or VGA-sized videos optimized for mobile devices - Video Watermark Maker serves them all with a single watermark. With many existing video watermarking applications using the same watermark image in videos of different resolutions will result in the logo appearing larger or smaller - depending on how high resolution the video stream is. This is not the case with Video Watermark Maker! The tool automatically resizes watermarks to ensure that the mark is of the same aVWMrent size throughout your videos.

Ellie Goulding dazzled the crowds as she arrived at the Brit Awards in a princess-style gown.
The Burn singer, who won the British female solo artist prize, wore a Vivienne Westwood dress, featuring a sculpted pink bodice with frothing white layers of netting from the waist down and pockets.
She was one of the early arrivals at the ceremony, staged at London's O2 Arena, who also included Ella Eyre - who scooped the best British single for her collaboration with Rudimental, Waiting All Night - in an animal-print netted Dolce & Gabbana gown.
Katy B, who is topping the album chart with her second album Little Red, fittingly wore a long crimson dress with gauze panels by Torn by Ronny Kobo.
"This last few years has been such a whirlwind. It's just mental. You can't even keep track of things. I've been in the studio for two years writing songs constantly, so it's such a lovely feeling to know that my songs have connected with people, and people would want to buy my album. It's a wonderful feeling," Katy said.
The Lights On singer revealed her songwriting process is never-ending, saying: "I've started thinking of the next seven albums, let alone the next one!"
Other eye-catching outfits included Rita Ora's bright yellow floor-length gown with a plunging neckline, Kylie Minogue's black rubber dress with giant bow detail and Lily Allen's dramatic new look with yellow tinted hair as they trod the red carpet at the most glamorous night of the year for the UK music world.
A slimline Boy George also attracted attention with his new towering quiff and what appeared to be a graze around the left side of his face, although he is well known for his elaborate experiments with make-up.
Rudimental's DJ Locksmith (Leon Rolle) and Amir Amor stole the style stakes for the men, as they turned up in co-ordinated printed suits.

The Faculty Handbook is a guide to the faculty and is designed to present general information about New York University, and some of the more important University policies and practices as they apply to the Faculty of the University. It is also meant to inform and serve other members of the University community. The Handbook is compiled from a number of sources and is maintained by the Office of the Provost.
The policies outlined in the Faculty Handbook as in effect from time to time form part of the essential employment understandings between members of the Faculty and the University. Other University policies and guidelines are available here. In addition, schools and units have their own internal rules, procedures, and policies, such as School statements on Faculty appointment policies and procedures, particularly those concerning promotion and tenure criteria and review procedures, which may supplement – but do not supersede or replace - policies outlined in this Faculty Handbook unless an exception has been granted by the Board of Trustees or President.
As of spring 2012, the Faculty Handbook is available in a digital searchable format, thus enhancing access and usability. The text of the Handbook on the Web includes hyperlinks to University policies and resources available on NYU Web sites. Readers can navigate through the interactive version by clicking on an item in the Table of Contents, or access and print the Handbook as a PDF document by clicking on the right.
The process for amending the Faculty Handbook, which was approved by the University Board of Trustees, is outlined within the Faculty Handbook in the Foreword. The history of the Faculty Handbook is preserved in the Archive of Faculty Handbooks, Archive of Amendments to the Text of the 2012 Digital Faculty Handbook, and Archive of Amendments to University Policies Accessed from Links in the Faculty Handbook. Members of the NYU community can navigate through these three archives by clicking below to view the materials contained therein.
In accordance with the Foreword, Procedures for Amending the Faculty Handbook, and the Principles of Joint Shared Governance, described under Organization and Administration, this current edition of the Faculty Handbook was reviewed by the Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty Senators Council and the Full-Time Continuing Contract Faculty Senators Council, each of which provided input.
Since 2012, the Faculty Handbook is posted online in a digital searchable format. Previously, the Handbook was published as a paper document, and addenda or amendments were announced and/or distributed to the NYU community. The current and past editions of the Faculty Handbook can be accessed below.
The text of the Faculty Handbook is changed from time to time. Redline changes to the text that have been made since the 2012 Edition of the digital Faculty Handbook can be accessed below. Redline changes to University policies that are accessed from links to the Handbook can be viewed here.
The Statement of Policy on Faculty Responsibility, 1984; the Supplemental Guidelines for Disclosure Of Conflicts of Interest, 1995; and the Conflict of Interest, 1966, were replaced in 2011 by the Policy on Academic Conflict of Interest and Conflict of Commitment.
The Statement of Policy on Equal Opportunity, 1972; and the Anti-Harassment Policy, 2006, were replaced in 2011 by the Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedures for Employees.
The Guidelines for the Implementation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 was replaced in 2009 by the Guidelines for Compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.

The Statement of Policy on Smoking was replaced in 2010 by the University Smoke Free Campus Policy.
Posted: April 2012
History: Digital format reviewed by Faculty Senators Council; approved by University Board of Trustees June 28, 2011.
The digital Faculty Handbook includes "Selected University Policies" that are incorporated by link to the University Policies and Guidelines website. Links in the Faculty Handbook are updated as necessary when policies are added, amended, or superseded. University policies that have been added or amended and policies that have been superseded since the release of the digital 2012 Handbook can be accessed below.

Just as your children grow and change, so do their fears. Monsters under the bed, thunderstorms or loud noises probably no longer cause your child to need your reassuring words and hugs. Fourth and fifth graders' most common anxieties are being kidnapped, parents divorcing, someone dying, fires, burglars, school failure and being a social outcast.Psychologists have discovered that distinguishing between fear and anxiety is often difficult in children. Fear is a response to a situation (a neighbor's dog), while anxiety is being worried about something that hasn't happened yet (a shot at the doctor's office). Once parents realize this difference, they can better help their child cope.
- The first and most important thing is to believe your child's fear. Talking about and affirming the existence of her fear will help your child. But be careful not to overtalk the fear or express your own fears. If your child doesn't want to discuss it, encourage her to write a fictional story about another person with the same fears or draw a picture of what could happen.
- Fears can often be removed or reasoned through to a logical conclusion after evaluating reality. Make a plan of action if a mean dog comes too close. Practice on dolls the day before a visit to the dentist. Memorize certain Bible verses that fit your child's fear (check out Psalm 27:1, Psalm 31:24 and John 14:27). The more independent your child feels, the smaller the fear can become.
- Try to recognize your child's signs of anxiety in order to quickly help. Some children may become introverted. Others will misbehave, and still others will have sleeping problems, headaches or stomachaches.
- Know the fine line between being a protective parent and being overprotective. Your child should feel safe but shouldn't be so insecure as to never want to be alone. Shielding unpleasant situations is part of a parent's responsibility, but children also must have the freedom to learn from their experiences and their mistakes.

Coffee prepared with a French press is rich and flavorful with no bitterness, since this process retains the coffee oils and compounds. It can also be economical because there is no need to purchase disposable coffee filters. Typically, this type of utensil is available in sizes to make 3, 8 and 12 cups of coffee.
An alternate use for this pot is to use it as a hydrator to moisten dried foods such as chiles, mushrooms or tomatoes. Fill the press with the amount of water desired, placing the dried foods into the water and keeping them below the water level with the plunger. This utensil is also known as a French press coffee maker and a plunger pot.

Pedestrian hit by car on highway 412
Monday morning a man walking westbound on highway 412 in Tontitown was hit by a car.
Phillip Steed, a witness, said he was riding his bike and passed by a man and a woman walking on the side of the highway.
Then he says he heard a loud bang and he turned around to see what happened. The man he passed earlier was lying in the middle of the street after being hit by a car.
The man is in critical condition and the woman with him is OK, but she rode with the man to the hospital.
Tontitown police say the woman driving the car that hit the pedestrian was not injured, but her car did have broken glass in the windshield.
Tonitown police and fire department were on the scene, and right now they say this is under investigation. It's not known if charges will be pressed against the woman driving the car.

Shortstop Eduardo Escobar (White Sox) didn't do anything at the plate but looked good in the field. No single play stood out; he just seemed to get to grounders without exerting much effort. You'd look up and the play was done. Then you'd look back at where he started and think, huh.

Gladys Kamakakuokalani Ainoa Brandt Endowed Chair established at UH ManoaUniversity of Hawaiʻi
External Affairs & University Relations
Gregg Takayama, (808) 382-3212
Office of the Chancellor
PEARL CITY, Oʻahu — The University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents (BOR) has approved the establishment of the Gladys Kamakakūokalani ʻAinoa Brandt Endowed Chair at UH Mānoa. The position will be created from a commitment of nearly $1.1 million from the Gladys ʻAinoa Brandt Estate.
The gift was made to establish an endowed chair in comparative Polynesian studies at the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies at the UH Mānoa Hawai'inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge to focus and maximize the center's interchanges with visiting scholars. The endowed chair will greatly enhance research at the center, attract students and scholars from throughout Polynesia, and encourage positive dialogues between academic disciplines, the university and the wider community.
"This endowed chair will be one hallmark of the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies realizing its potential in helping shape Hawaiʻi's future, and fulfilling Mrs. Brandt's vision of the center as a conduit for Hawaiian values and practices to reach the world," said Jonathan Osorio, director of the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies.
A University of Hawaiʻi alumna, Brandt was an educator and administrator for more than 40 years, and was the first woman principal of a high school in the Territory of Hawaiʻi. The UH Board of Regents voted to name the UH Mānoa Center for Hawaiian Studies in her honor in 2001, with a rededication ceremony held in March 2002, which Brandt was able to attend before she passed away on January 15, 2003.
