The World Partnership Walk is returning to London June 2. Take steps with us by creating or joining a team, registering as an individual, or donating to this great cause. 100% of funds raised by the World Partnership Walk go directly to fund international development projects – not one cent is spent on administration.
Projects are identified and implemented by local communities, targeting areas of greatest need and providing long-term sustainable solutions – like revitalizing a rural economy, ensuring clean water and sanitation, strengthening community-based organizations and educating new generations of girls and women.
Funds raised by the Walk also help AKFC to leverage additional support from major donors like the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). This means that the impact of every dollar you raise is multiplied many times over.
Learn more about some of the international development projects supported by the walk.
Relay for Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour overnight fundraising event that has a festival-like atmosphere to celebrate life and fight cancer. Teams of 10-15 people fundraise individually and as a team to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are now facing cancer.
Sign up today as a team captain, a participant or a volunteer. You and your team can put the fun in fundraising while enjoying music, food, activities and entertainment in the decorated tent city.

Mrs. Danielle Davidson is a 28 year old London resident living with Cystic Fibrosis.
Less than 2 years ago, Danielle received her first double lung transplant. She made a remarkable recovery and her health was improving at an encouraging rate. Thanks to the incredible team at Toronto General Hospital, Danielle was able to accomplish many things she never thought possible. Unfortunately, her new lungs have not been cooperating for some time and her health is declining rapidly. As such, Danielle has officially been re-listed to receive a second double lung transplant. We know from the last time that she is looking at about $30,000 in medical expenses that will not be covered by OHIP so we're hoping to help with these out-of-pocket expenses with this benefit.

Patience is a VirtuePublished by: Brian Skerry - Jun 18, 2012As an underwater photographer, time in the field is the most valuable thing I can be given. With time, I can usually overcome challenges and the problems that occur. Time also allows me to learn firsthand about the place in which I am working, what happens at different times of day and how animals behave. But oftentimes the best images are made when something unexpected happens. I love the discoveries that come from taking my time in a place and allowing opportunities to present themselves. |

Scuba Diving Course a Success for IBRC StudentsPublished by: Maggy Hunter Benson - Jun 15, 2012For the past week, the Indonesian Biodiversity Research Center (IBRC) diving class of 2012 has seen countless fish in shades of pink, blue, yellow, red, and green darting through corals and the overhangs of a shipwreck. They witnessed stunning bioluminescent plankton flash like fireflies in the dark ocean surf. Best yet, they have grown together as one unit, united through scuba diving. |

Ray Bradbury and the SeaPublished by: Hannah Waters - Jun 6, 2012Today Ray Bradbury died. It might seem strange that I'm writing about Bradbury here on the Ocean Portal, as he's best known for his short stories about space exploration and strange aliens. But he also considered the unexplored realms of our own planet: the ocean. |

Live from the Field: Bali, IndonesiaPublished by: Maggy Hunter Benson - Jun 4, 2012It's not everyday that I get to collect and gather data right alongside our Museum's researchers. So, imagine my recent delight when the opportunity was presented to me to travel half way around the world to Bali, Indonesia to participate in a research and education field project. |

Life in the FieldPublished by: Brian Skerry - May 31, 2012To a photographer, all that matters is the image, the picture that results when the shutter is released. This is what people will see and what will remain of that moment in time, captured forever. But for wildlife photographers and especially underwater wildlife photographers, so much has to happen just to get to that moment when your finger is on the shutter release. |

A World Adrift: Life in the SargassumPublished by: Seabird McKeon - May 30, 2012The open ocean is surprisingly barren to the naked eye. Every now and again you will encounter a school of fish and their attendant predators, but most of the life that you find is gathered around some sort of sheltering structure like a coral reef. |

Dancing for the OceansPublished by: Hannah Waters - May 25, 2012If you were choreographing a dance about the ocean, how would you do it? Would you dart around like a lobster in a hurry? Dive like a dolphin? Float like a jellyfish? |

Whale fossils on the mainland, and into a CT scannerPublished by: Nicholas D. Pyenson - May 21, 2012After a few long days of hard work on the island, we were finally able to excavate and remove, not just one, but two skeletons of an early "toothed" baleen whale from the rocks near the Carmanah Lighthouse. All told, it took our team 3 days, along with assistance from Parks Canada, a chartered boat, a chartered helicopter, car ferries, and one really nice diamond-bladed rock saw. |
Tagging and Tracking Animals UnderwaterPublished by: Emily Frost - May 16, 2012How do we know where ocean animals swim day and night? Scientists are getting snapshots into the daily lives of whales, sharks, and even fish by tagging the animals to track their movements. |

Hacker help: Double Window Sills
Description: I need some help on what to do with this space in my kitchen. It is two window sills in a corner. One is 5 ft wide and the other is 6ft wide, both are 2 ft in depth. I can't take the bench out, because the windows stick out of the house.
It is in the corner of my kitchen. Maybe someone can help me out with what to do here. Maybe a built in table? Shelves?
Any help is appreciated. Maybe give me a place someone can help me? Thank you!

I agree that the valance has to go. I would put white sheer curtains going the whole width of the wall, not just over the window, to make them seem bigger. Right now with the color, valance and shade it's too broken up visually. If they're not at a good height for seating you should add in something taller, like a tall plant, plant stand or something sort of sculptural, or some Skurar hanging planters from IKEA :-)

Beautiful windows!
It's hard to say exactly what to put there because the pictures don't show the context for what how else your kitchen could function spatially.
From what I can see, here are the comments that I think would be most helpful:
1. I agree, the valence must go!
2. The paint inside the window sills breaks up the wall and looks weird. I'd repaint to another color, like the color of the rest of the wall, for example, or something brighter and less intense in hue. If you really love that color or the idea of color inside your window sill, you could make one wall + window the opposite of the combo you have now (light on the wall, dark green on the inside). I'd still probably go with a cheerier color though.
3. You could make some of that space artsy. Extra seating is the obvious choice, with nice pillows or cushy seats, but if that won't work, you could add some small shelves for books along one side of the sill vertically or hang some pictures in there.
4. If you can move or replace the kitchen table, you could add a skinny cabinet to that space on one side, joining the cabinet and sill with a one-piece board/whatever and use that sill as expanded counter space.
Anyway, that's just what I can think of, I hope it's helpful. - AnonymousDecember 09, 2011 5:04 AM
You could make showcase cabinets by adding racks, and frames that fit to glas doors. Often showcase cabinets have bulbs to light the things that you put there - you would have window light. On the back side, you could no longer use the windows easily.
ReplyDelete First things first; I agree that the valances need to go. They look nice by themselves but don't fit in the room that well.
Looking at the first picture I'm estimating that the sills are about the height of a table? Assuming that, They wouldn't make too good of a seating area. It has been suggested to raise the floor and create a stage-like area, but I always have my doubts with a project like that. For one, you'd need a room high enough to not make it seem as if the ceiling comes crashing down. Secondly, the room needs to be large enough to sustain the dividing line between the regular floor and the stage, which takes up more space than you'd imagine. And lastly, although cool, it is a massive build to make. It'll leave your entire room useless for a while, all so that you can use the sills as seating areas.
Instead, I would suggest the following:
1. Get rid of the valices and the shades, replace the shades with a simple curtain to only cover the window, or even taint the glass. There are these special strips of fabric to stick on your window, but I have no idea what those are called in English :)
2. leave the walls the colors they are, including the grey in the sills. I quite like it. Then take some plywood, and make a few shelves to hang in the corners, and paint them the same shade of white as the walls are. Do not cross the window, but put them in the corners, on even heights. Fill them with jars and spices etc, and simply use a plant in front of your window as a centerpiece.
Its a corner with a lot of potential to really support the kitchen, so Happy DIYing, and let us now what the result was!
With love,

You can remove the bench! I would build a frame below the windows and remove the wall below the bench and continue the floor out as the windows hang outside the frame you will not need a footing just depends what your floor is constructed of, if it's timber you can canterlever the joists out from the existing floor if its concrete you can either build a timber floor or pour some new concrete the frame below the windows can be clad with boards, cement sheet, ect depends on what the rest of the house is clad with.

I agree with many of the comments - but I think you could make the sills seating if you modified or replaced the table. I would consider a taller table - maybe a "pub height". You may want to add a foot rail under the sill if it's really high (like on a bar stool) to make it more comfortable. I hope that helps.

Can you comment more on whether you are looking for function or fun? Do you have cats? This would make an awesome cat station area (see some of the pet hacks) and you could put a bird feeder outside one of the windows for entertainment. Of course if you do not have cats, then this is of no value to you.
If you do not use the windows at all, you could do a built in shelf, standing desk area. Shelves on either side and then an elevated center for computer console. But this would cut off the window as an emergency exit, for fire safety purposes that might not be a good idea if there is no other exit in the room.
It is an unusual space so will be interesting to see which way you go. Hope you come back and post the finished project. - Maria, North CarolinaDecember 09, 2011 1:28 PM
just remember if you are making it a seating area the windows/glass have to be somekind of safety glass just incase you have a child or people that like to lean back against the window.
Get rid of the vallance and the grey it makes it pop out to much including the blinds neutral is better in this case.
Make some shelves for the corners of the window and display colored glass bottles/jars, spices, cookbooks, family pictures and or just some items that scream kitchen. Perfect place for cats to lay and avoid making it a dumping ground for little or big items. I think I see a table right in front of those windows? If that's the case - how about removing the existing table and creating a built-in table by (building/purchasing) a large piece of wood or other material and notching it out so it fits inside/up to the windows and rests on the ledges. So, it will sit inside in the window spaces and will have the corner notched to fit around the casing, etc. - and while you won't have chairs backing up to the windows any more, you now have a very large work/eating space with plenty of room around the perimeter for people to sit. I think it might unclutter the space visually, as well.
And, how about some roman shades? I think they look great over recessed windows.Remove the blinds and valance, put shelf inserts or do a floating "shelf" like this one (though you can go thicker since your niches are pretty deep). http://www.houseplantsguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Displaying-Plants-on-Shelves-2.jpg
Fill with your pretty house plants, maybe some small potted herbs since you're in the kitchen area. They key is to NOT overcome the shelves with plants, you'd want to still see outside through the plants and let some light in too.
Hang curtains or rolling blinds at the lip of the window niche.- AnonymousDecember 10, 2011 1:48 PM
Have you seen The Killing, the Danish version? There are amazing windows in the kitchen of the family home. To recreate this you would take away the valances and use a pale grey/blue or white around the windows, but here is the lovely thing - there are glass shelves going straight across the windows, from one wall to the other, seeming to float. On these shelves are different colored glassware, lovely green plants and clean-looking ceramics. A simple blind would be drawn over the whole thing at night. A single pendant light would hang in the middle of each window. See if you can find a picture online - I think it would look amazing recreated in these windows.
ReplyDelete I think paint and moving the curtains will make a huge difference. Right now it looks like "Window with an alcove in it", if the walls inside matched the walls in the rest of the room, and the curtains only covered the actual window part, it would look like "alcove with a window in it" instead.
Is that linoleum on the ledges? If its easy to remove, replace it with some wood- I think laminate flooring would work fine.
If you were more ambitous I'd suggest building out the sides to have shelves for cookbooks and plants. Perhaps you could build the shelves to fit Ikea bins and use them to store appliances and stuff too.

Customers might be persuaded to switch energy providers after hearing that one supplier has been fined £1 million by Ofgem.
The industry watchdog has handed British Gas the levy after finding the energy supplier had not provided accurate information about the amount of electricity provided under the government's renewables obligation.
This piece of regulation requires energy suppliers to produce evidence for the proportion of green energy they generate compared to their total energy supplies.
David Pimm, Ofgem's group finance director, commented: "Ofgem's decision today, and our decision to impose an £8 million penalty on National Grid Gas earlier this year, sends a clear message to all energy companies that accurate reporting is essential across the energy sector."
He added that British Gas' fine would be far higher if the company had not co-operated with the regulator's investigation.
Meanwhile, there is growing speculation that British Gas will be announcing a price hike in the coming weeks.

Notice: This product was discontinued on 30/6/2012.
701936 Deskew correction signal source is a replacement product.
Improve switching-loss measurements by eliminating skew
When using different types of probes, such as a voltage probe and a current probe, a small propagation delay difference exists between the probe pair. Small, but significant, this difference is caused by each probe's unique internal circuitry and cable length. This propagation delay difference is known as 'skew' and creates an error when calculating switching loss or measuring timing.
In the high speed switching of the switching power supply, the engineer is required to measure the timing of the control signal in nano seconds. The 701935 Deskew Correction Signal Source accommodates nearly all types of clamp-on current probes for switched mode power supply (SMPS) testing.

Wow, that's not delusional.
What's wrong with a black head of the FCC? What's wrong with there being a black Attorney General, a black Inspector General (Head of the General Accounting Office); a black TV Czar? What's wrong with blacks filling more and more key positions in government, the IRS, the court system, and the military? What's wrong with the Obama administration demanding that the Associated Press reveal its sources? It really shouldn't be of any concern. But it may be a good reason to remember that June is HAM Month (Hug a Minority.) Just in case any of those people bear a grudge against Colonial America, WASP, and right wingers. More needs to be done to let blacks know they are appreciated in this country. After all, they are running most of it. And their influence will be around for a long, long, time.
She's sat on the board for nearly four years. She was a member of the Public Service Commission for 11 years. She ran a newspaper before that.
What, exactly, makes you think she is not qualified to be the acting Chair of the FCC - aside from the fact that she isn't white or male?
She's still rich - and that's what really matters.
We have a useless photo ID law that was created to intimidate minority voters and fully gerrymandered legislative and congressional districts to insure the power of the Republican party. We even have Mark Sanfraud as one of our Congressmen.
Does SC really need to prove to America once again that we are the stupidest state in the country?
Every one forgets that it was the paper ballots in Florida that caused the nation to have to wait for months to know who was President. They never were able to count them all. This is a ridicuous idea. Do you have any idea what two million ballots look like all stacked up in warehouses or how easy it is to make a few of those stack disappear? Stop being afraid of technology
Hamilton is a turd. Professes his love of these idyllic cities of the Northeast, while laying around his computer and bitching about what we have here. Touts his admiration of urban transit and biking, when it's apparent to anyone looking at his pic that he couldn't bike to Krispy Kreme if they were giving donuts away. Writes diatribes in the Moultrie News about withholding Halloween candy from the neighborhood kids unless they bow down and profess their love of communist figures, thinly veiled as a Jeopardy style quiz show. And endorses (as well as sends his money and brainwashed children to) "a college" that once invited a Black Panther and convicted cop killer to give the commencement speech. You're a real winner, hammy. You should really look into taking your "talents" (whatever they may be) to Venezuela or Iran, where they'd be more appreciated. You, William J. Hamilton, are useless and a cancer on our area. The quicker you'd pack up and move to one of your Avatar-inspired wannabe socialist villages, the happier the rest of us will all be. Ignore everything this moron has (past and present) and will write. He has no credibility and is simply an idiotic sham.
This is a good way to insure election fraud. If there are issues with the electronic machines figure them out and fix them. Just like letting people vote without an ID this is supported by people who do not care about vote fraud.
Must be nice to have your father get you your job and then be elevated to one of the best jobs in DC with virtually no experience whatsoever in what you are doing.
Folly was a ghost town the month after the alcohol ban. I remember the first weekend after the initial ban, we had to drive down to McKevlin's to pick up a board. We got a late start and were not heading down Folly Rd until noon. I was prepared to sit in traffic for an hour, as that tends to be the norm for Saturdays in the summer. Oddly enough, there wasn't another car headed to the beach. It was eery. Once we made it into the downtown area on Folly, we only saw a few people walking around. I am not sure if that will be the turn out for this summer, but I know it had to hurt businesses last summer.
And... The Grand Douche... I mean Matt, has spoken!
"Fucking obnoxious review."
What is obnoxious about writing a thorough review with likes and dislikes, coming from someone who has worked in the industry and been pushing/drinking/brewing craft beer for over a decade? Maybe I should have just used your intelligent review model, and stuck to three sentences and no real content. That will really help the restaurant improve things. Maybe next time you bless someone with your own criticism, you could actually just add a review or contribute something meaningful.
Fucking obnoxious review.
Whoa whoa whoa....this a family biz guys. keep it clean or ill tell mom to come down to the basement and clean your mouths out with soap.
Best, and maybe only place to get a great tomato and mozzarella sambo in town.
the not so thinly veiled point of the article is that black people have it easy and that white people have had to shoulder what orlando patterson called "the ordeal of integration." white people are victims.
this of course is supported by a casual look at life in charleston where black people have segregated themselves in all of the best housing enclaves on the peninsula and along the coast; where their children attend exclusive schools; where black people exercise control authority through their leadership of law firms, local government, the ports authority, boeing, musc, the citadel and college of charleston; where black people eat at pricey downtown restaurants to the almost complete exclusion of white patrons; where expendable white workers fill our local jails. . . . yes. everywhere in charleston, white people are victims.
in all seriousness, tara servatius and other white supremacists are entitled to their belief in black inferiority. but they owe it to their readers to be honest and to defend their beliefs with real evidence, rather than wallowing in the murk of white resentment politics.
I think this is about as stupid idea that city council has had scince the smoking ban.
A huge group (30-45) from where I work used to take the day off on Memorial Day and hang out on Folly to have some beers and play on the beach. We've all lived in the area for some time. None of us were ever arrested, none of us drove home drunk, nobody ever complained that we were being too rowdy. Now, none of the beaches allow consumption of alcohol, responsibly or not. This year it appears we won't be going to the beach. I'm sure we won't be the only ones to pass in favor of other options.
Txakoli not txacoli
Steve Fiore is the man, soooo talented
I've participated in the elections where scanned marked paper ballots were used in Florida, under the supervision of a Republican controlled election commission and there was no problem with them. Everyone was satisfied with the new system, which replaced a system similar to ours which was junked after weird results were noted in several elections. That system replaced the old butterfly ballots in Florida.
After six years of disputed results, Florida was determined to end the problem and they did.
Keeping a set of printers operating while supervising voting is no minor undertaking. They'll malfunction. One scanner/tabulator/safe can serve dozens of individual voting stations, which at that point only have to be simple cardboard privacy screens on tables. The current machines are now decade old relics and compatible parts are no longer available. There is absolutely no reason not to go to a fully verified, failure proof system.
This is one of my favorite downtown restaurants. I have tried every appetizer and always been impressed. I am not sure if I like dry aged beef enough to splurge on that cut of steak (NY Strip) again, but it was definitely tasty. The truffle fries are some of the best in Charleston. I have been here 3 times, ordered multiple items, and never had a bad meal. Jeremiah is a wonderful chef and I love what he has done with the menu. I would definitely recommend Oak if you are looking for some high end dining on the peninsula.

I WOKE UP ON THE MORNING OF SOME DAY IN SOME hospital to find a stranger sitting in my room.
I sat up gingerly—my shoulder was sore—and studied the stranger. She had dark brown hair that bled into gray at the roots, and hazel eyes with webs of crow's feet at the corners. She smiled at me, and her whole face moved.
"Good morning, Mara," she said.
"Good morning," I said back. My voice was low and hoarse. It didn't sound like my own.

Welcome! Take a look around!
What do you do? I supply a lot the Museum's design needs, from flyers, postcards, signs, and vinyl, to logos, exhibits, layouts, lettering, interactives, as well as a small bit of programming and IT stuff. Pretty much a jack of all trades.
Letterpress? I have been dabbling in letterpress for a couple years now. I recently (by a fated stroke of luck) came into possession of a remarkably well preserved Kelsey press. I am currently in the process of restoring it.
Freelance? I do some freelance work from time to time when my schedule allows. My prices are very fair, but if I'm swamped and I can't take a job on, I can offer some recommendations for superb local printers.

James Kwack writes about the face-off between Google and Apple for control of personal computing, in what at first sight is not germane to the usual subject matter of this blog, but bear with me--in the end, it is about competing monopolies based on different technologies and patents and copyrights link here. In the first of a two part blog series, he describes the evolution of the personal computing and in the second he picks up the appearance of cloud computing and its meaning for the competitive battle. The cloud is Google's realm and the personal computer and associated gadgets like the iPod, iPad, etc. are Apple's. Microsoft is the also-ran in this competition since it seems likely to become increasingly irrelevant to the long-run result.
The key to the Apple strategy is to make the Mac and its spun off gadgets as proprietary as possible, so that owners of the cool gadgets must buy the software which however cannot be used on other makers' hardware, producing a lock-in. Google on the other hand has made the operating system increasingly irrelevant on the PC since it has Windows substitutes in Android and Chrome. While its operating systems are open, its monopoly power derives from its dominance over advertising on the web which it can retain as long as it retains its premier standing in Search software. On the basis of cost to consumers, it would seem preferable for Google to win this test, but not completely, with the Macs retaining some part of the market based on coolness but at higher prices. In the end, it does not seem quickly apparent that government intervention will provide any consumer benefit, since this industry has fundamental aspects of a natural monopoly, giving the two protagonists a hefty advantage over potential competitors. But each must retain its lead by continuing to innovate. [Posted at 06/01/2010 06:23 AM by John Bennett on Monopolistic Competition comments(0)] |

O Ultimo Malandro (O Ultimo Malandro/A Volta Do Malandro/Malandro Em Sinuca/Malandro Diferente) (4CD set)
CD (Item 596122) Odeon/Discobertas (Brazil), 1958/1959/1961 — Condition: New Copy
Wonderful work from the later years of Moreira Da Silva – a quartet of albums recorded for the Odeon label at the end of the 50s, and which really show Da Silva hitting a mature sort of stride! The timing was perfect for these sets – as improved studio techniques in Brazil really brought a lot out of the rootsier samba modes that Da Silva had been working in for years – updating the grooves with some contemporary arrangements that flesh things out nicely, while still leaving a lot of upfront space for Moreira's vocals! There's a depth here that a singer wouldn't have had 20 years before – and the records sparkle with Da Silva's rich presentation of the material. Some of the CDs features bonus tracks, which makes the package even more appealing – and all titles have been remastered, and presented with original artwork. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

One final doubt!
Regarding some days in Aadi, do they always fall in the Aadi month on same day,
Aadi Pooram- Aadi 9
Varalakshmi puja- Aadi 15
Aadi Perukku - Aadi 18
Aadi Karthigai - Aadi 29
There is also a confusion, is Krishna Jayanthi on Aug. 13 or 14? Is Krishna Jayanthi one day or more than one day? Does it depend on where in India you live? - July 14, 2009 at 6:11 PM
- abhilash said...
Aadi Perukku always falls on the 18th day of the Aadi month but the corresponding English calendar or Gregorian date will be different.
Rest of the days are always different. Like Aadi Pooram falls on the Pooram Nakshatra in Aadi month.
Sri Krishna Jayanti is observed on two days in different parts of India. The August 13 is more popular in western and southern parts of India. In North India it is on August 14
You can find more details about the two dates of Shri Krishna Jayanti here in this article - July 14, 2009 at 6:18 PM

Abhilash, you are a treasure trove of information! Hope our thoughts back and forth help others. So, Pooram is based on the position of stars? Is Varalaskhmi and Karthigai also based on star or moon placements? That is why it is different then....
- July 14, 2009 at 7:14 PM
- abhilash said...
Karthigai is dependent on the Karthigai Star.
Varalakshmi Vrata is observed on a Friday in the month and this usually is not based on star but some other calculations. Fridays in Aadi is dedicated to Goddess worship.
Varalakshmi date is also dependent on calendars followed in neighboring states. But it usually falls on a friday in Aadi month. - July 14, 2009 at 7:19 PM
hi abhilash,
I have a query is it good for Ear peiercing cermony for my little toddler in this month in temple palani - June 9, 2010 at 3:49 PM
Would it be inauspicious to sign an employment contract for a new job during adi masam ?
When is an auspicious day to commence a new job after adi masam ?
Thank you - July 12, 2010 at 8:55 AM
@ ear piercing there should be no problem in performing it. You can do it. Aadi is a good month for Muruga.
- July 12, 2010 at 9:03 AM
@ an employment contract for a new job
You should go ahead and sign the contract. Jobs don't wait for months. Go sign it and join the job.
There are two school of thoughts. Some say Aadi is inauspicious. There are some who believe it is auspicious. Some of the important rituals are held in this month. So believe in almighty and go ahead. - July 12, 2010 at 9:05 AM

- July 12, 2010 at 2:45 PM
I don't think there is any problem. Nowadays people make all sort of investments in the month.

You can shift to your house at anytime. If anything happens don't blame on Aadi then. Should have the guts to fact it.

15tofame.com, a website that allows users to be world-famous for 15 minutes. 15tofame realizes the prophecy of the American artist Andy Warhol made in February 1968 : "In the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes".
15tofame allows users to have a video shown continuously for 15 minutes chosen to play their chances of being famous, so during those 15 minutes everybody all over the world can see the same video simultaneously. In fact the home of the site is simply a "Polaroid" including a video which appears for 15 minutes, after that another user will have his 15 minutes of fame. A user on 15tofame can only have 15 minutes of fame in his life.
"15tofame is the tool to make a video a cut above the rest so it's the best place for new talents to be discovered." said Stefano Mendicino, co-founder of 15tofame.
Another outstanding feature is the simplicity with which users share their favorite videos seen on 15tofame.

Registered users can also 'clap' their favorite aspirants famous people, so those with true talent will rise to the top.
The video that the user wants to use for his 15 minutes of fame has to be on YouTube so after his minutes of fame people who have appreciated his performance can continue to enjoy his video. In fact the details and the link to the video remain on the 'clapsboard' of the users who liked it and on the 'Wall of fame' that reminds everyone that got 15 minutes of fame.
