The State of Oregon
Rugged coasts, towering waterfalls, world class wines
There's a lot to like about Oregon. And even though I've spend a lot of time on the coast, I've barely scratched the surface of what the state has to offer. Oregon has some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country as well as some bizarre badland-like areas. The multi-colored Painted Hills Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds is a very small area but offers a lot of variety to the photographer looking for graphic landscapes.
And Oregon's Willamette Valley, just south and west of Portland, produces some world class wines. The region is particularly known for its Pinot Noir, and that alone is enough of a reason to visit. But the vineyards and wineries also happen to be very photogenic. So to me, it's a win-win.

Part I defined White Mind as the unconscious patterns of thought and behavior resulting from socialization as a white American, and one of the causes for the low representation of people of color in all aspects of the children's book field today.
Part II offers ways to make White Mind conscious and change resulting behaviors. (I directly address white readers here, though I hope it's provocative for all.)
I remember an exercise from college drawing classes in which we first viewed a still life as volume, then line, and finally, as white space. For the first time, I saw, then drew, the shape of the space around the objects, which had been invisible to me until my attention was drawn to it. White Mind can be hidden in plain sight, too, and trying to catch a glimpse of its presence can be like tracking a ghost. \
Here are some ways to gather clues, learn its tricks, and get your own mind back:
- Learn about racial identity development: In Beverly Daniel Tatum's book, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?, she posits that identity is formed by what is "made salient," the mirrors that are held up for us when we are young. Racial identity therefore develops differently for different groups. For instance, people of color tend to have racialized identities; white people, as the majority, don't.
- Study the invisible "pass" that comes with white skin, as described in Peggy McIntosh's seminal essay, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack."
- Tell your own story of growing up white. Investigating and expressing the truth of your experience around race is a significant beginning and can be a lifelong journey. What were your mirrors?
- Look for clues and identify patterns. What did adults around you say and how did they behave in relation to race when you were a child? What ideas did you internalize as a result? How do these unconscious ideas affect your behaviors?
Change the Script
- Connect across racial difference in ways that stretch you. Work to overcome the conditioning of white centrality. movies and other materials to expose yourself to non-white voices and viewpoints. Make friends across race and culture. Step outside of your comfort zone; discomfort can be growth pains. Ask questions, but do your own homework; don't expect people of color to educate you.

I'm new at this. After spending some time writing my first post this morning using the "home page quick post form," I saved my work without publishing it, and logged out. When I came back to finish the post tonight, I couldn't find the saved draft anywhere. It's not in the "recent drafts" section of my dashboard. Any ideas?
The blog I need help with is oneguydating.wordpress.com.

Originally posted on The Queensbury Rules | Last updated 4/24/12
Line 'em up, knock 'em down. They had the right idea back in the day. The big fight this week features Bernard Hopkins, who's about as old as the footage in that GIF, re-doing his abortive and "controversial" bout with Chad Dawson. Fox Deportes has the best potential action fights of the week with a double header from Cancun headlined by Jhonny Gonzalez. There are a few other titbits too, so let's get to it.
- Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson and Seth Mitchell vs. Chazz Witherspoon, Saturday, HBO, Atlantic City. The light heavyweight rematch between the ageless Hopkins and personality-free Dawson is a lot more popular the second time round. It might have something to do with the the "controversy" or maybe the fact that it's not on pay-per-view, it's on the East Coast and tickets are apparently selling well. TQBR founder Tim will have more in-depth analysis of the fight, though I have no idea what he's going to say. Their first bout ended with body slam and a shoulder injury after less than two full rounds, giving us no real clues as to how the rest of the fight would have gone. Dawson (30-1) has all the natural advantages, but you hate to bet against Hopkins (52-5-2). Who knows what's going on behind the old man's beady little eyes? We can only guess, as TQBR's Jeff Pryor did rather eloquently here. On the televised undercard, much-touted American heavyweight prospect Seth Mitchell (24-0-1) faces fringe contender/former prospect Chazz Witherspoon (30-2), who's won four on the trot against pretty average opposition since being stopped by Tony Thompson in 2009. HBO is investing heavily in Mitchell as the hope of the heavyweights in America, meaning that we're seeing him in fights that would usually be a bit below premium cable level. It's hard to hate too much, though, because Mitchell is pretty fun to watch, with decent skills and a big helping of power. Maybe Witherspoon can box him a little or get to him early, but I suspect it's going to look a lot like Mitchell's December victory over Timur Ibragimov – short and painful.
- Jhonny Gonzalez vs. Elio Rojas, Saturday, Fox Deportes, Cancun Mexico. This is highly likely to be the funnest card of the weekend. Gonzalez (51-7) is a fan favourite, a Mexican featherweight veteran with nine lives and a dynamite right hand and Rojas (23-1) is a slick Dominican boxer. It's likely to be a high stakes game of cat and mouse. Apart from a strangely spelt first name, Gonzalez also has underrated boxing skills, a good jab and the patience to set things up, so I suspect he'll eventually get to Rojas, who can carry his hands low at times. Late stoppage or unanimous decision to Gonzalez. On the undercard, The Ring's number two man at junior lightweight, Juan Carlos Salgado (24-1-1), faces fellow chilango Martin Honorio (24-1-1). I don't see how this can be a bad fight. Salgado can box a bit, but has had stamina issues and tends to get sloppy. Honorio always comes to fight. He held Argenis Mendez, who beat Salgado in everyone's eyes but the judges' last year, to a majority decision in 2010. Expect fireworks.
- Thomas Ooisthuizen vs. Marcus Johnson, Friday, Showtime, Miami Oklahoma. I hope that none of the fighters on this card got too excited about fighting under the bright lights in Miami Florida, because this Shobox card is actually taking place in Miami's little known country cousin. Southpaw Ooishthuizen (18-0-1) is a much-fancied white South African prospect/contender who's beaten an impressive run of other prospects and fringe contenders in the last two years. He's a boxer-puncher and a real pleasure to watch. Johnson (21-1) is one fight removed from an upset decision loss to Dyah Davis on ShoBox. In that fight he never really got warmed up and got outworked by Davis. He could suffer the same fate against his South African foe this time 'round or he could learn from his mistakes. Ooisthuizen isn't going to make it easy for him. On the televised undercard, junior featherweight prospect Luis Orlando Del Valle (15-0) takes on Christopher Martin (23-1-3), who held Teon Kennedy to an entertaining draw last year.
- Vyacheslav Senchenko vs. Paulie Malignaggi, Sunday, Integrated Sports PPV/gofightlive.tv, Donetsk Ukraine. Say what you like about motor mouthed "Magic Man" Paulie Malignaggi, the guy puts his money where his mouth is. This time that means travelling to the Ukraine, despite being robbed on the road before, to fight The Ring's number six welterweight in order to get his alphabet gang belt. Senchenko (32-0) is a pretty typical Eastern European pro (I hate using these easy descriptors, but they're so accurate!), sheltering behind a high guard and pumping a consistent jab. Malignaggi (30-4-2) has always relied on his speed and reflexes, which is a tough bet against a guy as closed up as Senchenko. That's even before you take into account the New Yorker's slowing in recent years after beatings at the hands of Amir Khan, Miguel Cotto and the like. Malignaggi is easily the best opponent of Senchenko's career but you can't help but get the feeling that for a pillow-fisted guy like Paulie at this stage in his career, going to Eastern Europe and bringing home a title is a bridge too far.
- The Rest. Ukrainian light heavyweight Ismayl Sillakh (17-0) has a titanic Eastern European grudge match against Russian Denis Grachev (11-0) on ESPN2/ESPN3 Friday in... Florida? OK, ours is not to wonder why.... Tony Bellew (16-1) fights for the British light heavyweight title on Friday at home in Liverpool... Junior flyweight banger Roman Gonzalez (31-0) fights Ramon Hirales (16-3-1) in Pomona California on Azteca America Saturday night... Polished-looking prospect Billy Joe Saunders (12-0) fights for the Commonwealth middleweight title against Tony Hill (8-2) at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night... Episode 3 of 24/7 Mayweather/Cotto airs on HBO on Saturday night.

Pro Bowl Continues: You Know You Care
The NFL and NFLPA put out a press release on Wednesday to advise that the league's Pro Bowl would continue this January. There had long been speculation that the decision would be made to cancel the annual game for a variety of reasons.
The game still drew 12.5 million viewers in 2011, so public interest remained strong (despite loud protests to the contrary). However, growing concerns over player safety, players' apathy toward the game (a large number of no-shows) and the ever-growing lawsuit filed against the league by former players were seen as potential obstacles to the game's survival.
Of course, the absence of this postseason game would eliminate some sizable bonus checks and take away a schmoozing opportunity with sponsors. Follow the dollars.
The game will be played on January 27th in Hawaii before the league's focus shifts back to Super Bowl festivities in New Orleans.

UNEP-WCMC has worked over the last 15 years to streamline the reporting requirements of the various Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) on each party. This section details the various ways in which the Centre has supported the reduction of the reporting burden on countries, including links to our papers on the subject and resources produced by MEAs and other organisations to forward these aims.
The governing bodies of many of the biodiversity-related and Rio Conventions have provided mandates for work to increase the harmonization or streamlining of national reporting. This section contains links to the text of the most recent decisions.More
UNEP-WCMC has released a series of papers and reports over the last 15 years, outlining the feasibility of and the steps that are needed to allow harmonized national reporting to Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Many other organisations and researchers have produced work on the topic too, exploring the burden of reporting felt by nations and a variety of means through which to streamline the reporting process. This section brings together these papers for further reading.More
In October 2000, UNEP convened its first harmonization workshop entitled 'Towards the Harmonization of National Reporting', which involved eight convention secretariats and eight countries in discussing options for harmonization, and resulted in the establishment of pilot projects in four countries (Ghana, Indonesia, Panama and the Seychelles). The completion of the four pilot projects called for the organisation of a second workshop, to discuss the results and plan a way forward based on this and other experience. The 2004 harmonization workshop in Haasrode was convened by UNEP-WCMC in cooperation with the governments of Belgium and the UK. This section contains links to the papers, reports and documents created in the run-up to and after the completion of this workshop.More
A number of projects have been carried out to test and further develop approaches to harmonization, or streamlining, of national reporting to multilateral environmental agreements. For the Centre, this began in 2000 with a UNEP workshop in Cambridge, UK, entitled 'Towards the harmonization of national reporting'. Following this, work was undertaken around the UNEP Knowledge Management Project (2006-2008). Presently the Conventions and Policy Support Programme is executing a UNEP/GEF project on integrated processes to National Reporting to the Rio Conventions (FNR_Rio). This section contains more details about these three activities.More
A number of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and other organisations have made attempts to streamline national reporting processes. This section provides links to websites with information on these mechanisms or general information on increasing harmonization and streamlining.More

Last night was "Cinema Under the Stars" at Dale Miller, which gave readers and bloggers an opportunity to meet and mingle, then watch the film adaptation of Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard (Hannibal from "The A-Team").
Firstly: if you didn't make it to the sold out event last night, do me a favor and drop $5 using your credit or debit card to the Times Union Hope Fund (TimesUnion.com/HopeFund). It may seem like a small sum, but a still slightly small crowd (along with others who extended their generosity) were able to raise in excess of $900 for the charity. Why not add to it?
On to the event itself. Our guest bartenders for the Happy Hour:
Greg Aidala: Greg had no shortage of middle-aged women batting their eyelashes at him, so I requested a simple water. It was crisp and just the right temperature, but the slice of lemon he gave me was more of a chunk that really detracted from the presentation and weighed down the glass. GRADE: C-
Amanda Talar: Amanda was prompt, friendly, and greeted with a smile. I gave her the more challenging concoction of an unsweetened iced tea, and she rose to the occasion. There was a bit confusion at first as to where behind the bar this beverage was located, but once she found it, she did well. There was a ton of consistency, not too much ice, and a slice of lemon rather than a big honkin' chunk (, GREG). GRADE: B+
The evening itself was a fantastic time, and I just wish I'd had more of an opportunity to talk with certain people. In particular, Teri Conroy (author of the Farmlife blog), with whom I share a certain kinship 'round these parts. It was great to see her, brief as it was, but it seemed every time I went to find her I ended up bumping into someone else. Too many people, too little time!
I also had the pleasure of meeting (and also the misfortune of not being able to spend enough time) with:
Rev. Alan Rudnick – A really great, personable, and funny guy whose blog I've just picked up on. He's incredibly charismatic and engaging, a quality that I suppose you need in his line of work.
Josh Sperber (The Funnies) – Hilarious individual. Saw him (along with fellow Funnies contributors Adrianna Flax and Dan Rossi) perform his stand-up last week and his routine is freaking gold.
Tony Barbaro of the East Greenbush Blog – Tony's a freaking riot and I was sad I didn't get to goof around with him a bit more.
Megan Willis (The Davenport Chronicles) – A genuinely classy, friendly, and funny lady.
Joe Keegan (Home Restoration) – Another funny and approachable guy (a trend in reader bloggers) with whom I share quite a bit of film snobbery. More on that in a bit.
Kate, author of the (non-TU) blog My American-Iraq Life. Former soldier, current student. She hadn't updated her blog in awhile and I told her I missed it. Then she told me I was funny. Then I walked away. True story!
And others too numerous to mention without accidentally leaving out someone worthy of my attention and recognition. And, of course, the usual crew was there as well.
As for the movie? Well…
It contained an early 60s acting style brought from the Broadway stage that I absolutely despise. Everything is delivered over the top and with very formal inflection, which is fantastic for the stage but not so much for a film where things like cameras and microphones don't make such things a necessity. In fairness, this is the case with a lot of movies of the period, but with the material at hand it didn't work, as Peppard and Hepburn are wholly unconvincing as two carefully guarded prostitutes. Hepburn especially was distracting; while she has a magnificent presence and charisma, I found myself unable to believe anything about her character or get invested in the slightest. As a result I walked in and out of the film several times.
So when I got home, I watched a vastly superior film that came out the very same year: John Huston's "The Misfits," written by Arthur Miller and starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, and Eli Wallach. It was like night and day and was a breath of cinematic fresh air after what I'd witnessed. The film suffered a bit from scenes where Marilyn seemed to be legitimately out of it; she was deep into her pill addiction at this point and would die only a year later. It's made up for by the performances of Montgomery Clift and especially Clark Gable, for whom this is probably his finest work. Even Gable himself told Huston after seeing a rough cut of the film that it was the first time he was truly allowed to act.
He died just over a week later.
Needless to say, Huston is an amazing director and worlds better than the man at the helm of "Tiffany's," Blake Edwards. Not that he's a bad director, per se, or that it's a grave insult to be told that you're not the master of your time. "Days of Wine and Roses," which Edwards made a year later, is one of my favorite films. But watching the two is like night and day. Unlike Edwards, Huston's films have an air of electricity and bring everything to life in a way that Edwards can't quite accomplish.
I honestly think it comes down to personality. Huston was more of a rebel and a free spirit. Not to say that Edwards was a company many by any means, but his work seems weighed down by conventions of the time concerning filmmaking and storytelling. As a result, Huston's film about an aging cowboy struggling to find his place in early 60s Nevada feels organically gritty and at times worrisome, while the tale of two seemingly doomed prostitutes from Edwards seems too polished, glossy and dated; giving the characters and events portrayed a shine that does them a great disservice.
But, in any case, "Cinema Under the Stars" was a great time for all, and I hope we get to do it again soon. Say…right before Halloween? Showing "Silence of the Lambs?" Bling your generosity, friendship, and your blankets, kids!

Serves 6-8
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 12 ounce bottle of beer (I use a dark beer, such as Guinness)
- 1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes, chopped and juices reserved
- 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 6 15 ounce cans beans (a combination of black, pinto and kidney), drained and rinsed
- Chopped green onions for serving

- Pour in the beer, and add the tomatoes, the juices, tomato paste and beans. Stir and cook until it just starts to bubble. Partially cover the pot, lower heat to very low and let simmer for about an hour.
- Stir a few times to make sure it does not stick to the bottom. If you prefer the chili to be thicker, uncover for the last 10 minutes or so.
- Serve with green onions, sour cream, cheese or other favorite garnishes.

Did the Chelsea crawl yesterday with dumpers Hypothete and Frankhats, who are in town for the IRL residency. 23rd Street everything was open and most shows were good, e.g., Lily van der Stokker's only-mildly-sarcastic kiddie wall paintings at Leo Koenig, Omar Chacon's vibrant Op Glop at Margaret Thatcher, and Casey Cook's cartoon surrealist meditations on paint stains (above) at I-20.The Heathers on 22nd and 24th were mostly closed for installation; an exception being Friedrich Kunath's show "Tropical Depression" at Andrea Rosen, featuring some tasty Sigmar Polke-ish paintings packed with layered vintage illustration. On other streets and avenues: a show of neo-quasi-ostensibly geometric painting at Edward Thorpe featuring some nice work by Andrew Spence, Stephen Mueller, Jennifer Kobylarz, and others; and a solid Dan Flavin offering at Paula Cooper consisting of a boxy room-within-a-room with a central grill of back-to-back fluorescents dramatically canceling each others' optical frequencies so that each group's predominant color was intensified when viewed through the grill from the opposite side.

whom the gods would destroy
...they first make stupid.
At one point Google had an ambitious plan to copy all books and make them available on the internet. Ha ha, said the copyright goons, not so fast, every idea has a price in a capitalist society. Expression is like a highway, it takes money to build and its owners expect a 300% return and a sybaritic lifestyle so little people must pay tolls. No ticket, no intellectual convo. So Google took out portions of books making them unusable as complete works but still quotable as to the non-redacted portions.
And the copyright goons said, uh, it has come to our attention that "bloggers" are linking to the free parts in order to have authority for their arguments. It is very important that we administer little electric zaps to these discussions to keep people stupid, befuddled, and dependent on their masters. So Google followed Amazon's "look inside" manipulation. Now if a blogger links to a Google Books page and enough traffic comes to that page, the page joins the redacted portions in commercially tantalizing unavailability.
Once there was a concept in law called "fair use," which recognized a public policy purpose for keeping conversations free from idiocy-inducing electro shock administered by profiteer elements of society. The internet is not going to be a zone where this concept is recognized. If you are going to quote, better get a screenshot or the weight of your words will be constantly dwindling. And if you post that screenshot don't use any words that would identify the content in the filename.
Update, June 2012: The Google Books pages that disappear in response to heavy link traffic seem to reappear at a later date when traffic has died down. Don't know if that really changes anything said above.

New Medication Buoys Hope for MS Victims
WASHINGTON -- The government approved a drug Tuesday that tries a new method of attacking multiple sclerosis, an incurable disease of the central nervous system that affects 350,000 Americans.
The drug -- a monoclonal antibody produced by Cambridge, Mass.- based Biogen Idec Inc. and Irish drug maker Elan Corp. -- is known chemically as natalizumab. During clinical trials, it was called Antegren, but in the Food and Drug Administration announcement, the name was changed to Tysabri.Earlier this month, the drug makers reported that 942 MS patients who took the drug for one year had a 66 percent reduction in relapses, compared with the placebo. That compares with a 30 percent to 35 percent reduction in relapses for products currently on the market. The first-year glance at the study will be followed by second-year results in early 2005.
A second trial looked at MS patients who had one or more relapses with the drug Avonex. Some received Tysabri or placebo along with Avonex. The Tysabri-Avonex treatment reduced relapse frequency by 54 percent, compared with placebo. The most frequent serious side effects were pneumonia, rash, fever, low blood pressure and chest pain.
The company said the MS patients in the second trial had had the disease longer and were harder to treat. Most of those in the first group had been recently diagnosed.
All told, 2,800 patients with multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease received Tysabri in placebo-controlled clinical trials. The most frequent side effects were headache, fatigue and inflammation of the nose and pharynx.
Antibodies are proteins that the body's immune system uses to fight infection. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the lab and act just like people's own antibodies to attack foreign substances.
The FDA has approved monoclonal antibodies to battle other ailments, including cancer.
But Tuesday's approval of the monoclonal antibody treatment Tysabri was the first time the government approved the targeted therapy to treat multiple sclerosis. The approval covers intravenous delivery of the drug once a month in a doctor's office.
"It's exciting news for patients with MS," said Dr. David Ross, a supervisory reviewer in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "There are no cures for MS, but it does reduce the frequency of relapses ... a significant manifestation of the disease."
Dr. J. Theodore Phillips, an MS expert, said the relapses are devastating for patients who often were perfectly healthy before developing the chronic ailment.
Without warning, a relapse can erase vision, turn a working arm or leg useless or numb feeling below the waist.
In the study Phillips led, Tysabri performed twice as well.
Jardann Moad, who has taken Tysabri since June, said this year marks the first time her MS didn't flare up in October. Year in, year out, since her diagnosis in 1995, the disease would strike, numbing her right side, causing a leg to drag, anesthetizing most of her body.
"I've been feeling great," said the 46-year-old mother of three who lives near Dallas.

text: Annalise Briggs Annalise Briggs, Manager, Monthly Giving Program Annalise Briggs' stories Haiti: Finding peace and serenity in Haiti After warming up outside with a name game, the children return to the classroom for their next activity. The mentor asks them to close their eyes and focus on their breathing. They have just had an outdoor activity and it's time to slow down — it's time for meditation. Haiti: In Haiti, children giggle with delight I met Guivens Cemervil for the first time when he traveled to Mercy Corps headquarters in Portland, Oregon last January on the anniversary of Haiti's earthquake. His story is remarkable: he was the only survivor in his university's classroom of 60 to be unharmed. Haiti: From walkie-talkies to mobile banking Morse Alexis welcomes customers into his small shop with a warm smile and asks how he can help. He discusses prices and availability of his products, which vary from rice and beans to sodas to vegetables. Morse is married, 46 years old, with one son and another child on the way. Haiti: More lost than found Indonesia: Lasting change Behavior is hard to change. I know. I've tried. Even with support, it's still extraordinarily difficult to change. To learn new skills. To give up character flaws. To be a better person. Indonesia: Can you spare a square? I didn't expect my first blog post from the field to be about sanitation. I thought maybe microfinance or agriculture programs or mobile commerce. Something unique, innovative, life changing. But sanitation? Toilets? Hand washing? What could be less cutting edge? Three things we all hunger for I work as a fundraiser for Mercy Corps. When I tell people I meet that I'm in fundraising, they usually respond with "ugh, I would hate to ask people for money." The funny thing is that I love it.

Full Size Fan dipoles are multi dipoles that are fed with a common feed point. The full size dipoles are spread out like a fan, hence the name Fan Dipole. A good example of a Full Size Fan Dipole is a full size 40 and full size 80 meter dipole on a common feed. You will have a full size 80 dipole in a flat dipole configuration. Tied to the same center insulator (feed point with an SO 239 for direct coax connection) will also be a full size 40 meter inverted vee. There are no coils or traps to deal with. Only one center support is needed and only one coax is used to feed this antenna. The RF for the 40 meter band will go to the 40 meter dipole and the RF for the 80 meter band will go to the 80 meter dipole. No antenna switches are needed, the RF knows where to go. Just change bands on the radio from 40 to 80 meters and transmit.
A shortened Fan Dipole is a dual band dipole with a full size dipole also tied to the same center insulator. A good example of this would be a standard 40 and 160 meter dual band dipole (2B4016) and an 80 meter full size dipole in an inverted vee configuration with the same common feed point. This package will give you the same band coverage as a full size 40 meter dipole, a full size 80 meter dipole and a shortened 160 meter dipole. Again only one coax is needed to feed this antenna.
If you order an antenna and would like a balun installed on your new antenna,
we can do that for your at no extra LABOR charge.
Baluns keep the RF off of the outside shield of the coax and puts it on the antenna, "where it belongs !"
Full Size Fan Dipole:
Baluns are optional
Shortened Fan Dipoles:
Baluns are optional

Hello! Is everyone enjoying their weekend? It's labor day weekend here in North America, so we have a day off today. According to Wikipedia, "Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September, that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers." Awesome!
So let's celebrate all of your hard sewing work by rounding up some lovely Saltspring dresses from around the web.
I love this version by Abbey at Sew Charleston. In her blog post she mentioned this may be her favorite dress she's made! We are so honored and encouraged when we read lovely comments like that.
This version is by Lisa over at Notes from a Mad Housewife (hilarious blog title, by the way). I think the colors in the print she chose will transition great into fall! And I love the accessorizing going on! Read the full blog post here.
Emily was one of our pattern testers. I love her version! She posted pictures over at her blog, Seymour.
Hazel from Disaster in a Dress looks so lovely in her Saltspring! This print is to-die-for, and it's a chiffon! I was wondering how a chiffon would work for this dress, and it looks great to me. You would just need to line the skirt! You can see her full post here.
Erin over at Miss Crayola Creepy made a maxi version that is to die for! The print she chose is so stunning and the dress is super flattering on her. See more of her lovely dress here.
Angela from Sewmentalmama was also a pattern tester! She made both versions. I love that the red dress is so chic, and the striped dress is so fun! Really shows the versatility of the pattern.
I honestly adore Amy of Sew Well's version. The Liberty cotton lawn that she used looks amazing! This is a great example of how the dress will look in a cotton lawn/voile. Despite the slightly stiffer drape of a cotton, it totally works! See more here.
Trisha was one of our pattern testers, and she made a knit version! I love her fun story about how her fabric was purchased in Italy, and her dress was worn (and photographed) in Mexico. How glamorous!
Check our this lovely version by What Katie Sews! Katie did a really cool double strap treatment. Love the print too! This dress seems to lend well to all types of prints, small dainty florals, and large scale prints alike. Read more about Katie's dress here.
Want to pick up your own Saltspring dress? You can pick one up in the online shop. Or grab one from one of our amazing retailers, full list here.
We're definitely going to do some more Saltspring round ups. If you'd like to share your version, here's how you can do that:
- If you've blogged about it, share a link in the comments!
- Upload pictures to the Sewaholic flickr pool
- Instagram a photo with the hashtag #sewaholicsaltspring
- E-mail photos to us at info(at)sewaholic(dot)net
Happy sewing everyone!

Making Your City More Social
ASNED studies the world's best cities to learn how they developed a diverse and widely attractive Social Scene. Upon request, we draw upon these insights to boost footfall in cities across the UK.
The best cities in the world all have one thing in common. They have a great Social Scene – venues and events of all shapes and sizes, great food, drinks, live music, club nights, film screenings, stage shows, festivals and exhibitions. And they have the right support for venues and events: the right street design, transport, licensing and policing, community engagement and marketing.
A city's Social Scene is the heart and soul of the city. As such, its Social Scene is vital to its success. Get it right and the city will be popular weekdays and weekends, day and night. It will draw students and visitors, attract businesses, support retail and culture, boost economic growth and job creation, provide social opportunities for all ages and interests and improve quality of life.
But how do you get it right? It's simple really. You learn from the best cities in the world! For more than a decade, ASNED has studied cities from Sevilla to San Francisco exploring how they have developed a great Social Scene. With these insights, we're able to work with organisations across the UK, helping to make their cities more social, more diverse and more attractive to more people more often.

I was one of the first owners of an iPhone in Spain, buying my iPhone 3G on July 14, 2008. Just a couple weeks ago, almost two months after the launch in the United States, the iPhone 4 began to be announced in the local mobile shops. In 2008, I paid 359€ for my phone, a decision I do not at all regret. So I was pretty much prepared for a similar amount of cash to be exchanged for my upgrade two years later. Here's what happened when I bought my iPhone 4 yesterday:
Me: Hi, I'd like to buy the new iPhone 4 and use it with my current iPhone plan.
Clerk: You want to exchange points for a phone upgrade?
Me: Huh? I want to buy a new phone.
Clerk: Right, tell me your current mobile number.
Me: [mobile number]
Clerk: Okay, you have 18,600 points.
Me: Wow! That much?
Clerk: That's nothing at all. Worthless.
Me: Well, I've only been a customer for two years.
Clerk: It's not by time, it's by how much you spend.
Me: Oh, that makes sense, I don't pay much.
Clerk: [clicks through company website with the internet dexterity of an octogenarian] Okay. I'm sorry, but with only 18,600 points, it's going to cost you 386€ to buy the iPhone.
Me: Okay.
Clerk: That's really expensive.
Me: Oh?
Clerk: Here's what I'd recommend. Since your two-year contract is up, you're no longer bound to stay with [company]. You should call them up and mention that and say that you're considering switching companies and ask if they could offer you some more points.
Me: Okay. I'll try that and come back.
I came really close to not calling them at all to avoid the inconvenience, but in the end I phoned up my mobile service provider and made some guesses as to what to tell the computer to let me talk to a person. Eventually a service rep comes on the line…
Service Rep: How can I help you today.
Me: Hi, I'm a current iPhone customer and my contract is up, and I was wondering if you could offer me some points to upgrade my phone.
Service Rep: Your contract is with the phone you're calling from?
Me: Yes.
Service Rep: [with no negotiation or hesitation whatsoever] I can offer you 150,000 points. That will make the new iPhone 4 cost 260€.
Me: Thanks.
WHAT?? I get a 126€ discount just for asking for it??
By this point, I had only made it walking about 50 meters from the mobile shop, so I turned around and bought my phone.
This experience parallels many, many, many experiences I have had with Corporate Spain. Default policies are in place to royally screw customers, but all you have to do is to ask to not be screwed quite so hard and they say, "Oh, okay. Here's the real deal we can offer." I can see the capitalist value in profiting from the laziness of the majority, but it seems so dishonest. You can imagine the social discord when Spaniards visit a country like England, where no one asks to talk to the manager unless they're dying, and even then they apologize for the bother. If you want to not get screwed in Spain, you must complain.

USOC Does Not Talk About Future Olympic Bids During BOD Meeting
The USOC BOD Thursday met by phone but did not have a chance to discuss the organization's plans for a future Olympic bid. USOC Chair Larry Probst said, "We are committed to scheduling a second meeting hopefully the early part of next week to get into that discussion." The organization's leadership was expected to seek board approval for the creation of a task force that would evaluate whether to bid for a future Winter or Summer Olympics. Probst said that discussion will take place next week since the board meeting was shortened because of wildfires that swept into Colorado Springs, where the organization is headquartered. During its meeting, the USOC BOD reviewed the organization's strategic plan and its mission statement. Its bylaws require it to look at the mission statement every four years, and the organization is considering some minor changes to it. However, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said it would not pursue any changes until after it met with NGB leaders and athlete organizations. In addition, the board approved allocations for winter NGBs; discussed its plans for London; and evaluated its Safe Sport initiative, which is aimed at improving athlete safety and preventing physical and sexual misconduct in youth sport.
PAUSING FOR REAL LIFE: Approximately 40 of the USOC's 200 employees have been evacuated due to the continuing wildfires, but the organization's offices and Olympic training center have not been affected. Blackmun said the evacuations, so close to the London Games, may impact the organization's staffing plans. Blackmun: "My hope is that we have less than three people's whose homes are lost as a result of these fires. For those people who are evacuated and haven't lost their homes, a lot will depend on when they can get back in their homes. We hope we can get some stability in these fires in the next week or so. If we approach London and people aren't back in their homes yet, that's when we'll have to say, 'Who can we send to London in lieu of this person?'" Blackmun added that the fires will not affect members of Team USA because they are largely done training in Colorado Springs.

Dear all,
I'm trying to program the game of Reversi on my computer and I represent the game tree as a lookup table using a HashMap.
It looks something like this:
Any board layout is represented as an int[8][8], and the HashMap is supposed to give back ReversiMove, an obect containing detailed information about possible moves from that lay-out, etc.Code:
HashMap<int[][], ReversiMove> g_lookupTable;
But I have a problem. Suppose I have two arrays a1 and a2 that are isomorphic:
Both are 8x8 integer arrays containing only zeroes, but they are different objects.Code:
int[][] a1 = {{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0}};
int[][] a2 = {{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0}};
I would like my HashMap to work for a1 and a2 like it is the same object, so
would yield 'something'Code:
Is it possible to achieve this? Should I change the way my HashMap works?

NASA and ESA have recently selected the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM) as the next Flagship mission to the out solar system. The mission concept consists of a NASA-led Jupiter Europa Orbiter (JEO) and an ESA-led Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter (JGO), which would execute a choreographed exploration of the Jupiter System before entering orbit around Europa and Ganymede, respectively. The mission's overall theme is: "The emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants," and JEO would focus on Europa with the goal: "Explore Europa to investigate its habitability." While the primary focus of JEO is to orbit Europa, the science return encompasses the entire Jovian system, especially as is relevant to the potential habitability of Europa. EJSM would shed new light on the potential habitability of icy worlds in our solar system and beyond.

Make a Call for Chimps Today!
A number of animal protection organizations are calling on people to make a call for chimps being used in experimentation during National Call in Week for Chimps, and there's still time to make a call.
First introduced in 2008, the Great Ape Protection Act has been reintroduced with bipartisan support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate as the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act, now H.R. 1513 and S. 810.
The Act would phase out testing for about 1,000 chimpanzees currently in U.S. labs, along with retiring 500 federally owned chimpanzees to sanctuaries, which will save taxpayers approximately $300 million over the next ten years, while marking a milestone for animals by making this the first time a species has been exempted from testing in this country.
Additionally, it would end transport and breeding programs for all great apes intended for research, including chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and gibbons, along with banning federally funded chimpanzee breeding programs.
The U.S. is now one of only two countries in the world to use chimpanzees in invasive experiments, despite what we know about their intelligence, sensitivity, complex emotional lives and social needs. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, more than $200 million has been spent on research using chimpanzees over the past decade.
Whether they're captured from the wild, or bred in captivity, primates suffer from the effects of confinement without their psychological and behavioral needs being met, never mind the research part, which can include prolonged immobilization, sensory deprivation, social isolation and invasive surgery, among other horrors.
Please take a minute to make a call to your member of Congress today for asking them to co-sponsor this historic piece of legislation that will put an end to experiments on chimps and save taxpayers millions of dollars annually, and sign the petition below.

A few words of advice if you are unfamiliar with this style of forum -
Making a post is very easy - to respond to an existing message, click on the 'post reply' button.
To start a new thread, click on the 'new topic' button.
When you have written your post, click the 'preview' button down below to see how your post will appear, and then the 'submit' button to actually post it.
A more detailed and illustrated explanation of the posting process is available here
When you check back into the forum, you can click on the line that says 'view new posts' at the top left, and it will show only the newest posts.

There are many other options to experiment with; don't be afraid to try clicking on various things to see what happens - you can always return to the main index page by clicking on the line 'Board Index'.
One other thing that is probably worth mentioning - you can send private messages to people by using the 'pm' button to the right of their posts (just under the name). These messages are like internal emails and only the person concerned can view them. When someone sends you a PM you will be informed by email.
Registered forum members can also send an email to other forum members by clicking on the envelope icon just to the right of the PM button. This is the safest way to send an email to another forum member as the software handles the process without anyone's email address being revealed. Please do not put your email address directly into your posts unless you are prepared to be the recipient of much junk mail and spam; to do so makes your post a guaranteed target for spambots, who trawl forums looking for just such tasty titbits to harvest.
If you are having any trouble, try looking at the FAQ page (which can be quite helpful), or send an email to forum 'at' britishdowsers(dot)org.
So let us hear from you, and most importantly - have fun!

NEW YORK (May. 19)
A former Jewish dissident who emigrated from the Soviet Union five years ago has criticized the Rev. Billy Graham for his conduct during and following a controversial trip to the USSR last week.
The former dissident, Mark Azbel, confronted Graham during a panel discussion last Sunday on ABC-TV's "This Week with David Brinkley," following an interview with the minister that was televised by satellite from London. Azbel's appearance was broadcast from ABC-TV's studio in Washington, D.C.
Graham, whose trip to the Soviet Union has been denounced by critics as a propaganda triumph for the Soviet government, had been invited there to attend a Soviet-sponsored world gathering of religious leaders opposed to nuclear war.
The minister was feted by Soviet officials and at Christian churches, where he preached the Gospel of Jesus. Traditionally an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union, Graham suggested to the press in Moscow that some religious freedoms are enjoyed in the USSR, pointing to what he said were the large numbers of people who attend church services there.
In a bitter interchange with Graham, the former Soviet dissident challenged the minister's authority "to tell what goes on with freedom of religion in Russia…"
Repeatedly interrupting attempts by Graham to respond, Azbel attacked the minister's suggestion that his meetings with "the Jewish leadership" in Moscow and with the city's chief rabbi was anything more than a sham. "The Jewish leadership does not want to talk about–has nothing to do with Jews in Moscow or anywhere," he told Graham. "The chief rabbi in Russia is not even qualified to be a rabbi. You don't know that."
Azbel, whose emigration from the Soviet Union was permitted only after a five-year battle with the authorities, was a founding member of the Moscow Sunday Seminar, established for scientists whose positions had been revoked by the government upon their application for emigration visas, as a way of updating one another on developments in their fields.
Azbel pressed Graham to acknowledge that his trip to the USSR did not provide him with authoritative information on the state of religion and religious practices in the Soviet Union. In a lengthy emotional statement, Azbel said:
"Would you mind putting it straight? You met leaders. You bring the message from leaders who are opposed to the people, and this is the only thing you know of. You do not know the opinion of the people in Russia. Have you met 10 common Jews who pray, 10 common persons who pray? Have you met people who are in prison? Do you have any knowledge but the knowledge of the official who approached you? And if not, can you speak in the name of the people who are desperate in Russia without you undermining their plight?"
The minister, interrupted at every pause, insisted that "there are millions of people in the Soviet Union that go to church on Sunday." But he conceded that "restrictions" on religious practices have been in existence since the revolution. Referring to Soviet worshippers affected by those restrictions, Graham added, "… sometimes they become stronger; sometimes they become less."
Currently on sabbatical leave from Tel Aviv University, Azbel is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Physics. He appeared on Sunday's television panel together with Methodist minister Edmund Robb, chairman of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. Although Robb's comments were less emotive than Azbel's sharp tongue-lashing, he was no less critical of Graham's visit to the Soviet Union.

NSLU2/Debian refusing to play nice with ICS!
I've been using the wonderful NSLU2 Linksys device with an old, cut-down build of Debian, and it's worked great as a Samba server (for those folks who are not aware of this device, it's a great low-power way to run a little server - see the piccy of the device here). Recently a Debian etch release was made for this device so I've taken the plunge and flashed it/installed it (and it was so easy even I could do it :D).
One major thing I'm having trouble with is internet routing. I am sure I'd got this working before on ethernet, and I've tried every incompetent possibility to get this to work, but it's not wanting to work for me at all on wireless. Briefly my NSLU2 device (192.168.1.108) joins to a wireless hub (192.168.1.1) via ethernet and I access this via a Vista laptop (192.168.1.2) via wifi. I have a USB modem on my laptop, which I have shared in Vista (using Internet Connection Sharing). However pinging a pingable remote server (e.g. Google) on my NSLU2 comes back with no reply, and ditto if I ping the IP of that server on my NSLU2. I think the problem is therefore IP routing, not DNS.
From the NSLU2 however I can ping both the router (via ethernet) and the laptop (ethernet -> wireless). My config files on the NSLU2 are:
cat /etc/networks #default 0.0.0.0 #loopback 127.0.0.0 #link-local 169.254.0.0 localnet 192.168.1.0 cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #allow-hotplug eth0 auto eth0 # New stuff added to make it appear on a standard static IP #iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.108 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 up route add default gw 192.168.1.2 down route del default gw 192.168.1.2 cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver (IP here) # ISP DNS server nameserver (IP2 here) # And again nameserver 192.168.1.1 search workgroup
Thanks all in advance!
Edit: traceroute produces the following, don't know if it's helpful:
foobar:/etc# traceroute 192.168.1.1 traceroute to 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 router (192.168.1.1) 0.645 ms 2.985 ms 2.914 ms foobar:/etc# traceroute 192.168.1.2 traceroute to 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 beth (192.168.1.2) 3.182 ms 2.997 ms * foobar:/etc# traceroute 220.127.116.11 traceroute to 126.96.36.199 (22.214.171.124), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * *

Hi all. If anyone can give me even the briefest of help, I shall appreciate it. I have been persisting with this, and still have not made any progress. This very simple task is, I admit, rather wearing me down.
Alternatively, if you know of a tool I can use on Debian to try to determine where the problem is (Linux server, router, Win machine) that would be great. I can then come back here with further information.

There is a real danger from people that spout doom. You might think that it is just fun to rake in the money from the gullible, but the gullible can be drawn into great. That fear can end up in death and injury.
There has been at least one substantiated case in which a person killed themselves due to 2012 fears.
In October a group of doomsdayers listened to their so-called spiritual leader that had the idea an angel told him when the world would end. The group prepared to kill themselves, but the police broke up the threat.
On Thursday evening, 50 military policemen forced their way into the home and removed 19 babies and children after they received "credible" information that the group had planned to kill themselves by drinking poison. Police say that during the operation, a "significant quantity" of rat poison was found at the residence.
Remember that the quote was a newspaper article dated October 12.
Those people probably feel pretty good today. It has been 2 months since that end of the world date failed.
Will others fall for the claims of the con men that say the world is coming to an end, or will people begin to realize that these charlatans are preying on people?
Two different kettles of fish. A scammer specifically tells people to send him/her their money and promises some kind of reward. A doomsayer doesn't specifically tell people to commit suicide. I've read these people's websites and books out of curiosity. Not once have I ever seen or heard one say "When the end nears it will be horrific and traumatic, so you best put that .357 in your mouth and feed yourself a round to avoid the suffering."
When people commit suicide it's their own choice, plain and simple. And even if they were telling people to kill themselves, they still shouldn't be held responsible. The individual made the decision to go through with it. Nobody else made that decision for them.
Holding other people responsible for your conscious decisions doesn't hold up in the court of law, and it shouldn't here either.
"Mr. Jenkins, the convenience store security camera clearly shows that you were the one who robbed the owner at gunpoint last Thursday. How do you plead?"
"But, but, your honor... my friend is the one who told me to do it. He should be punished instead! I wasn't originally going to do it, but he talked me into it. I was pressured into doing it!"
You know this whole argument falls apart when you apply analogies to it right? This same # goes on in so many different aspects it is unreal. The fact that you choose this specific analogy makes me wonder at your logic or why you don't attempt to argue the other aspects of this conundrum.
If you commit suicide that's nobody's fault but your own. Why not just wait for the world to end if that's what you believe. Stop trying to make people feel guilty for things that aren't there fault. That's is like me telling japan last year that an earthquake was coming. Should they commit suicide over it? Is it my fault if they do? Simply; no.
It's freedom of speech to discuss Earth changes and catastrophic scenarios.
Why are you focusing on the negative aspect of this?
Regarding those who are considering possible Earth changes that we have the freedom to discuss, do you think that there are more self-destructive people or more vigilant people?
I believe that for every two people who are scared of what may happen, there are 8 people who are using these discussions to prepare themselves and their families.
Frankly, your decision to focus on negativity is no better than those you're criticizing and calling doomsayers.
Hand cites studies by unnamed historians, who "calculate[d] that some 6 million heard the CBS broadcast; 1.7 million believed it to be true, and 1.2 million were 'genuinely frightened'". NBC's audience, by contrast, was an estimated 30 million.


text: I think that the right words can make all of the difference in everything from the power of your conversations to the value of your work to others. Words contain within them power and with that power, there is an opportunity to allow you to change the way others see the world, or even change the value of your own ideas. Choose your words wisely.
