While at Powell's City of Books the other day, I picked up a sweet little red hardbound copy of Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird. I started it on my flight from Portland to Salt Lake, in which I sat by a couple of polite young lovebirds who, for all they knew, were the only two people on the plane and knew there would be no worry about forced conversation. I didn't get very far into the book (it's a short flight when you're flying direct), but I got to the part where Anne talks about what to write. It's late and I'm too tired to try to yank childhood memories from the best kept secrets of my brain – best kept from me, that is. But before I forget these too, I wanted to record a few simple moments of my time in Portland.
*Conversation with the dark-haired parking attendant searching for his reading glasses so he could see. "I'm always looking for them." "That's why I try to keep mine on top of my head." "You should get these at ? (I forgot already). Only a dollar. Much better than the $15 ones at ?(I forgot that too). I buy a whole bunch and keep them at every chair and table."
*Walking up Yamhill I towards Powell's City of Books on Burnside, what something caught my eye through the picture windows. I pressed my face up against the glass to peer in. I could see a tiny kitchen to the left, modest display shelves in the middle, and a handful of small tables and chairs to the right. I moved closer, careful not to smudge the glass, trying to see what creations were taking place in the kitchen. It was a bakery. Two women, clearly the forces behind the creations, bustled about the place. One took notice of me and cheerfully waved me in. I opened the door and was immediately overcome by the sweet fragrance of cinnamon and spice. A lovely, rugged arrangement of quince (I've never seen quince before, I just knew what it was) sat at the foot of a pretty glass cake plate. A number of cakes graced the display cases, but one in particular beckoned to my attention. Deep muted orange, topped with a sugar glaze. Sweet potato cake. I spoke with the proprietors for a few minutes, lingering to breathe in the evidence of another cake in the oven. They just opened in September. One of them used to be a caterer. They dreamed of opening a cake shop. Here they were.
"I'll have a slice of the sweet potato cake."
"Shall I wrap it for you?"
"Yes, please."
Palace Cakes. A little slice of heaven.
I wished them much success and slowly (for I wanted it to last) made my way towards the door.
You should go.
*Further on, as I was walking toward the lovely cathedral, a man approached. He seemed fairly well dressed, but swaggered a big too wide on the city sidewalk. Unsure what to make of him (must I make anything of him at all?), I looked up to smile and acknowledge his presence. He looked right into my eyes and before I could even say hello, slowly, loudly, and enthusiastically burst out, "You have a GREAT day!" I think he meant it! "You have a great day, too!" I replied. And we went our separate ways.
Sweet woman in Powell's. I asked her where I could sit and charge my iPhone for a few minutes while I decided what I needed to read. She directed me to a wooden bench by one of the entrance windows. I asked her what she had been reading that she could not put down. She showed me. We talked about books as if I were her only customer. She introduced me to a couple of new authors. And gave me a 10% coupon, which I forgot to use when I narrowed my selection of used books to two.
I must sleep. More tomorrow.

Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost
Modern Library, Paperback, 9780375757969, 433pp.
Publication Date: September 9, 2008
Edited by William Kerrigan, John Rumrich, and Stephen M. Fallon
John Milton's "Paradise Lost," an epic poem on the clash between God and his fallen angel, Satan, is a profound meditation on fate, free will, and divinity, and one of the most beautiful works in world literature. Extracted from the Modern Library's highly acclaimed "The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton," this edition reflects up-to-date scholarship and includes a substantial Introduction, fresh commentary, and other features annotations on Milton's classical allusions, a chronology of the writer's life, clean page layouts, and an index that make it the definitive twenty-first-century presentation of John Milton's timeless signature work.
Writing during a period of tremendous religious and political change, Milton s theology and politics were considered radical under King Charles I, found acceptance during the Commonwealth period, and were again out of fashion after the Restoration, when his literary reputation became a subject for debate due to his unrepentant republicanism. T.S. Eliot remarked that Milton s poetry was the hardest to reflect upon without one s own political and theological beliefs intruding.
William Kerrigan is a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His books include The Idea of the Renaissance, written with Gordon Braden, and Hamlet's Perfection, both available from Johns Hopkins.
John P. Rumrich is Thaman Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of "Matter of Glory and Milton Unbound" as well as numerous articles on seventeenth-century literature. He is co-editor of "Milton and Heresy". Gregory Chaplin is Assistant Professor of English at Bridgewater State College. He is the author of several articles on seventeenth-century literature.
"In this landmark edition, teachers will discover a powerful ally in bringing the excitement of Milton's poetry and prose to new generations of students."—William C. Dowling, Rutgers University
"This magnificent edition gives us everything we need to read Milton intelligently and with fresh perception."—William H. Pritchard, Amherst College

Thanks for reporting this, I'll see if I can find out what's causing it. I'm hoping to be able to fix it in the next release.
I have the same problem on a fresh install of WordPress 3.5.1
The version of SlideShow is 2.2.11
Same problem and in the end of the page when i create a slideshow there is this error :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ts() in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/XXXXPortal/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.php on line 618
in case can help.
@mby_dk: Thanks for reporting your problem as well, I'll see what I can do.
@stexan78: The error on your page probably stops the slideshow's slide inserter script from working. The error seems to be caused by a plugin called something like 'civicrm'. If you disable the 'civicrm' plugin, you should probably be able to insert images again.
@Stefan Boonstra : Thanks a lot for your quick hint and reply but i can't disable the CiviCRM plugin because is the CRM tha manage the entire blog.
Could you try to install the civiCRM plugin and check why is blocking the script ?
I'm sorry, I can't test other plugins for compatibility with the slideshow plugin. Have you already contacted the CiviCRM forum with the error you're getting? They should be able to resolve this in an update.
Hi Stefan
I just found out that my issue was caused by the Per Page Widgets plugin.
Once I deactivated it, Slideshow works perfectly.

Why is life left-handed? The answer is in the stars - 2 views
Nina Nadine Ridder on 22 Jul 15While most humans are right-handed, our proteins are made up of lefty molecules. In the same way your left and right hands mirror one another, molecules can assemble in two reflected structures. Life prefers the left-handed version, which is puzzling since both mirrored types form equally in the laboratory.

Academic Flexibility:
The best part about Abac is that it is very close to home. When i am finished with all homework assignments I am free to go and interact wth the family. I love that I can quickly return to school incase i remember i have homework. I can also go home on the weeeknd and work to make a little money that i may need at school.
Online Courses:
The online homework assignments are somewhat challenging. Some help with the class room lectures and some do not have alot of relavance.
Campus Resources:
Abac has a few locations in each building to study in.They offer a variety of tutoring strategies all within the campus. There is a few campus activities.
Campus Resources:
The place where i study and do my homework is the AAC. It is a large room with computers and tutors ready to help in case oen may need any help. There is also quiet rooms.
Academic Experience:
It is not easy to obtain the biolgy major. I dont think i would prefer to get it anywhere else or get another major. I believe their are much more opportunities with a biology degree.
Academic Experience:
The academics that are offered at my school are minimal but they are focused on your career. Abac is a great place to focus on a specific major.
Campus Quality:
One of the greatest things about my school is that it is apart from the city. Their are few distractions and which contibutes to better class results. I enjoy the location because it gives you the time to study and think abou school related issues rather than outside of school issues.
Student Body:
The student body at my school is great. Wherever you go you hear someone talking about at class or about their future plans. I can say my school is one of the most influential places ia have been to.It is not so diverse but everyone is very friendly. The type of students that open doors for you when you are 30 feet from the door. Even though i am hispanic the students show a great level of acceptance towards people from different cultures.
Overall Experience:
I have enjoyed my time here so far. I have learned alot about how school works and what i will have to do to become a dentist. I have always been scholastically driven, and now I have found a place to show that. I have never been more motivated than i am now, for this is the reason i am looking for a scholarship to help me complete my education. This school is very inique from all the others.Here your proffesors actually know you by your name and can sit and talk whenever you need help. I would defenetly choose this school again. I plan to complete my four year degree here.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
When entering and regestering i beleived Abac would have been the best choice when looking at tuition costs. I had trouble with paying of application fees $20, Housing aplication $275.The total of tuition even with financial aid help i still owed, $1,300. It took me a great amout of time and work to save up the money. I really beleive its going to be worth it at the end.
Career Services:
The enviroment I have been surrounded of here at ABAC has been fantastic. I enjoy the accomodative classrooms and staff due to the small number of students that attend. I love the support and availability of the proffessors if one needs any help with something or if one does not understand a lecture. My professors, Dr.Cathcart, Dr.Dicks and Dr. Shippey have been a great help. Each one has motivated me and taught me very well. I defenetly would recomend this school for someone who whants earn a degree in biology.I hope that by getting my Bachelors in Biology, i will be able to attend the shool of my dreams. Georgia Regents University is where i whant to graduate with a Dentist degree.
Campus Resources:
The few time I used the computers at school everything went fine.
Academic Flexibility:
This school is very convenient to me, because I live in the same town.
Career Services:
My advisor has been very helpful.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I could have used a lot more guidance in the financial and scholarship areas.
Campus Quality:
This is a smaller campus where you get to know everyone
Academic Experience:
Several professors were very helpful.
Academic Experience:
Some of the staff could have been more helpful and available
Overall Experience:
Could have used some more help in the classroom
Student Body:
We have people from all over the world
Student Body:
everybody really amazing with there career and they are friendly
Campus Quality:
well its okay but needs alit bit of something
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I'm not sure about the process because I am in dual enrollment, and I did not have to go through the process.
Student Body:
The students at ABAC are very diverse. It sems like anyone would be able to find a friend there, beacuse our student body differs so much. I love how the student body is individualistic.
Campus Resources:
The computers are always available to the students, and if there is ever a problem the staff will be there to help you in a very reasonable time. also, the printers and copy machines are always up to par. It is also an added bonus that the charge rates are very reasonable, and the college already give you $10.00 for the printers and copiers.

When You Don't Like Your Kid's Friends
Happy Endings
But remember, in most instances, the friendship will run its course and nothing dire will happen. That was certainly true for my daughter. After a few months, the boyfriend began to complain that she was spending too much time with other friends. The more she pushed him away, the more interested he became. He even came for dinner over Easter break. I remember telling my daughter that the more I got to know him, the more I liked him. The relationship didn't last another week.

"Institutionalized science ethics" refers to the statutory, professional and institution-based ethical standards that guide and constrain scientists' research work. The primary institution responsible for implementing institutionalized science ethics is the Institutional Review Board. We examine the limitations of IRBs and institutionalized science ethics, using bureaucratic theory and, especially, theory related to the development and enactment of rules. We suggest that due to the very character of rules-based systems, improvements in IRB outcomes are unlikely to be achieved through either more or better rules or even by bureaucratic reform. Instead, we suggest that improvements in human subject protection can best be advanced through increased participation. Ours is not a call for more participation by the general public but participation, via "Participant Review Boards" of persons who are eligible, by the protocols of the research in question, to serve as subjects. This provides a level of legitimacy and face validity that cannot be obtained by IRB affiliates, even by "external representatives." In making these points, we review a recent science ethics controversy, the KKI/Johns Hopkins lead paint study. In spite of being approved by IRBs, the study resulted in a civil lawsuit that reached the Maryland Court of Appeals. The case illustrates the limits of institutionalized science ethics and the bureaucracies created for their enactment. The case also underscores the complex and equivocal nature of the ethical guidelines established under the National Research Act.

-> ''It was said'' --\\
''There was a mansion that rested on top of a hill, and within it there lived two witches.''\\
It is the late 1980s. Rumors of a witch living inside an old mansion circulate in the city. Unbeknownst to observers, living inside the mansion is an actual witch, Alice Kuonji, a stoic woman and a magus hiding in the present day. Under her tutelage studies [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Aoko Aozaki]], a high school student studying magecraft as the head of the Aozaki family. As magi, the two of them secretly fight any threat that enters their town.
Things start to change when a young man unfamiliar with city life, Soujuurou Shizuki, enters their lives. Slowly, he affects the lives of these two magi. And so their story begins...
''Mahou Tsukai no Yoru - Witch on the Holy Night'' is a VisualNovel set in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}. Originally a five hundred-page novel penned by Kinoko Nasu, it was never publicly released and only a handful of copies were distributed. It was announced for a visual novel remake on 2008, but it got stuck in DevelopmentHell several times before ''finally'' being released on April 12, 2012. A translation of the demo text can be read [[http://emptyboundaries.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/there-was-a-mansion-that-rested-on-top-of-a-hill here]].
Unlike the other Type-Moon visual novels, ''Mahoyo'' is a linear novel with no branching plot lines. It is also Type-Moon's first all-ages visual novel. [[NoExportForYou Which means it might actually get an official release outside of Japan. We won't hold our breath though.]]
The game has two sequels planned, but WordOfGod is that serious production won't start until the Tsukihime remake is finished. [[DevelopmentHell Here we go again.]]
Not to be confused with a shojo manga called ''Manga/MahoutsukaiNoYome''.
!!This visual novel contains examples of:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lugh's backstory.
* AmusementParkOfDoom: The setting where most of the action starts. From being attacked by a creepy puppet that physically resembles Aoko, to fighting with [[spoiler: Alice]] and later [[spoiler: Flat Snark]], the place practically invites all sorts of dangers that involve magic there.
* {{Animorphism}}: Lugh can take either the form of a pretty boy or a wolf.
* {{Backstory}}: The entire novel revolves around the high school life of Aoko, a major character in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood''.
* {{Badass}}: Given. It's the ''{{Franchise/Nasuverse}}'', after all.
* BadassNormal: Soujuurou.
* BigFancyHouse: The Kuonji Mansion, the house Alice, Aoko, and later, Soujuurou reside in.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Soujuurou literally breaks his arm punching Lugh.]]
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler: Soujuurou came from the same organization as Souichirou, from ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'']]
* CountryMouse: Soujuurou.
** NaiveNewcomer: Because of this, he readily accepts the existence of magic as just another wonder of the city.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou takes down Lugh, a two thousand year old NatureSpirit whom not even Aoko could defeat, by punching him in the heart and hitting his back with an elbow blow, which freaks Lugh out due to it being a new experience and actually getting beaten in fisticuffs.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Touko's Mystic Eyes explode during her climactic clash with Aoko.]]
* {{Familiar}}: Lugh to Touko.
* {{Golem}}: Alice has one. Touko has... some.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Soujuurou, courtesy of Touko. But he got better.]]
* HotBlooded: Aoko.
* HypnoticEyes: [[spoiler: Touko's self made Mystic Eyes of Binding that can trap people in illusions. Finally explained what the eye is after the casual mention in ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' that Touko had Mystic Eyes.]]
* IdiotHero: Soujuurou. The guy is just plain clueless.
* KungFuWizard: Aoko.
* MarionetteMaster: Touko.
* NighInvulnerability: Lugh {{No Sell}}s a kick that could break a tree in half.
** Alice's fairytale familiars are all invulnerable to modern tech.
* NurseryRhyme: Alice uses these as incantations for her magic.
* TheEighties
* FairyTaleMotifs: Alice's magic revolves around fairy tales and nursery rhymes.
* MythologyGag:
** In one chapter, our resident {{Tsundere}} mage from a relatively well-known magus family chases the local [[NiceGuy nice]] IdiotHero who is new at the whole magic business down a corridor and attempts to blast him with her magic in an attempt to kill him, only for her not to go through with it thanks to a long-haired enemy's sudden interference in her assault coupled with the {{Tsundere}}'s own hesitation towards killing the guy. [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Sound]] [[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks familiar?]]
** The school Alice attends is the same school [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Azaka, Fujino, Shizune, and Ouji]] study in.
* PlayboyBunny: Aoko gets to use one in an Extra Scene. Maybe a compensation for the lack of H.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Aoko's use of the [[spoiler:Fifth Magic to fast-forward her own time]] resulted in her hair turning red.
* ResetButton: [[spoiler: Aoko uses her time manipulating Magic to make so that Soujuurou's death never occurred by basically ripping the minutes of his death out of the timeline and flinging them into the distant future.]]
* SiblingRivalry: A very ugly one between Aoko and [[LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai Touko]] over the succession of the family magecraft.
* TheStoic: Alice is described as such. She barely shows any emotion, but [[DefrostingIceQueen seems to have warmed up]] to Aoko and Soujuurou.
* TimeMaster: Whoever controls the Fifth Magic.
* {{Tsundere}}: Aoko to Soujuurou.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: Aoko, Alice, and Soujuurou respectively.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Touko offers something akin to this to Soujuurou. In a bit of a subversion, however, Touko states that he would not be so much her equal, but more her [[FriendsWithBenefits mook with benefits]].
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: The nature of the fifth magic, blue, has some side effects due to the laws of thermodynamics. In the process of rescuing Soujuuro Aoko basically removes a large amount of energy and flings them into the future, requiring the world to correct itself. Touko is mortified at the potential consequences of moving, removing and using up the amount of energy Blue does and calls her out on it.]]
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Ritsuka enjoys crossdressing as a hobby, [[spoiler:and Aoko's first crush being on Ritsuka-in-drag mortified her so much that she now has a lot of antipathy for romance in general]].
* WitchSpecies

NEW YORK (AP) - The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences says Tina Fey, Kiefer Sutherland and Simon Baker will be among the presenters at this Sunday's primetime Emmy Awards.
Each is a nominee. Baker's freshman hit "The Mentalist" earned him a nomination for best actor in a drama. Sutherland won that award in 2006, and is nominated this year for his role in a special "24" movie. Fey is up for best actress in a comedy, the award she won last year.
The live telecast is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday.
The academy says other presenters include Jon Hamm of "Mad Men" and Blake Lively of "Gossip Girl."

On any record/object in OpenERP, such as Journal Voucher, Journal Entry, etc. is there a way to show which user created or posted this record?
I would like to show this on the record itself when we open the detail view. Ideally this should also be visible in the search grids.
The audit trail feature lets you view it in a separate area and it captures a lot more detail, but I would like to capture and show only the user name who worked on a record.

In college at Clemson, Andre Ellington sometimes was so nervous in games that it adversely affected his performance.
So, it stands to reason that the condition worsened when he made it to the NFL a year ago as a Cardinals running back.
But a few games into the season, Ellington noticed an odd thing. He wasn't nervous, and the more relaxed he became, the better he played.
"I had the adrenaline going in college, I guess with the fans and everything," he said. "But in the NFL, it's more settled and more laid back, like, 'We're into business now.' I'm hyped, but it doesn't seem I'm hyped."
Arizona Cardinals top 2013 pick Jonathan Cooper will not start
As a rookie, Ellington played as if he had been in the NFL for years. He totaled 1,023 yards from scrimmage, the most by a Cardinals rookie since Anquan Boldin in 2003. His 5.53-yard rushing average led all NFL players with a minimum of 100 carries.
This season, he moves from being a specialty player used in specific situations, to what coach Bruce Arians calls the "bell cow" at running back.
Ellington isn't big — 5-feet-9 and 199 pounds — and the Cardinals will limit his carries between the tackles. Instead, they will concentrate getting him the ball "in space," or away from the line of scrimmage.
Football games to watch: NFL kickoff edition
That's what the Cardinals did on Ellington's first touchdown in the NFL. It was Week 2 of last season, against Detroit, and he lined up in a two-back formation. Ellington ran a wheel route out of the backfield, and the Lions somehow left him open.
Quarterback Carson Palmer hit Ellington for the 36-yard touchdown. At the back of the end zone, Ellington dropped the ball and crossed his arms.
"That was probably one of my best plays," he said.
Receiver Larry Fitzgerald was among the first to celebrate with Ellington. He picked the ball up and handed it to Ellington.
"I kept the ball, of course," Ellington said.
Ellington said it would be a mistake to think he lacks toughness just because he's not going to carry the ball inside the tackles 15 times a game.
"A lot of people don't think I'm as tough as I am because of my size," he said. "I guess you'd say they underestimate me."
While Ellington isn't afraid to get hit, he's smart enough to know that the better backs know how to avoid them when possible. "I was never a guy who wants to get hit all the time," he said.
What's successful for him, he found, is to stay relaxed during a game. To do that, he reminds himself to stay humble.
"I get into what I call my own zone," he said. "The more relaxed I am, the better I perform."

Novell Reorganizes
In January 2010 Novell will consolidate four business units down to two and eventually say farewell to managers Jeff Jaffee and Roger Levy.
The new Security, Management and Operating Platforms business unit will absorb three others, the current Identity and Security Management (ISM), Systems and Resource Management (SRM) and Open Platform Solutions (OPS) units. Jim Ebzery will take over as SVP and GM.
Colleen O'Keefe, currently SVP of Global Services, will take over as SVP and GM of the new Collaboration Solutions unit responsible for Novell's Workgroup and Services businesses. Joe Wagner will slip into the role of SVP and GM of Global Alliances, the unit whereby Novell establishes strategic partnerships and collaborative efforts with cloud computing, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and telecommunication providers. The three managers will report to Novell president and CEO Ron Hovsepian.
In lower management roles, Markus Rex will act as GM of the OPS product lines, which also encompass the Linux business, and report to Jim Ebzery. Two senior managers will be leaving the company: current CTO Jeff Jaffee will stay on until February 2010 in an advisory role, and Roger Levy, most recently SVP of strategic development. If the restructuring has larger human resource implications is not something Novell is currently revealing.
Novell re-org
Most people at Novell are saying good riddance to Roger and Jaffe. What did they do except suck up a lot of money is what we have all been asking.

Perhaps a confluence of larger public and private incentives will help EV reach the tipping point north of the border.

Every year, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) looks into the soul of the American automobile market and figures out which vehicles are evil. This is how it comes up with a "meanest" vehicle rating. Wait, no, that's not right. In reality, ACEEE rates vehicles using Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board fuel economy data and "other specifications reported by automakers" to find both the meanest and greenest vehicles of the year.

Exactly how Daimler is hedging its investment in Tesla Motors is not being revealed, but since the electric vehicle company's stock has been roller-coasting all around the place this year, we're not too surprised that some sort of stabilization methods have been put in place. The TSLA stock went on a big drop from its $193 high (all the way down to $121.58, but has since begun climbing again to around $144) since news of independent and isolated fires in Tesla Model S EVs were reported earlier t

That's one really small car for China, one giant leap for a European electric-vehicle maker. In this case, the EV in question is the all-electric Smart Fortwo ED and the automaker is the German company Daimler which is taking up a position as the first European automaker to start selling an EV in China. Daimler's Smart unit trumpeted the EV's sales at the Guangzhou Motor Show, calling the model "the clear market leader in Germany." The Fortwo ED accounts for about 40 percent of all EV sales in G

It may be small, but the 2013 Smart Fortwo ED recently managed to score four stars overall in new National Highway Traffic Safety Association tests. That score includes four stars in the Frontal Barrier Crash, four in the Rollover test and five in the Side Barrier test, showing that Daimler's Tridion Safety Cell technology manages to get top results, at least some of the time.

Electric cars seem to be getting more affordable by the day, and the latest to get a price drop is the 2013 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. With sales currently limited to only a handful of states, the Smart Fortwo ED is preparing for its nationwide rollout by offering a 36-month lease of the Fortwo ED Coupe for as low as $139 per month – or the same price as the non-electric Fortwo. The previous Fortwo ED leases started at $199 a month.

Meet the new boss, way different than the old boss. Or, at least, a heck of a lot cheaper.

At $25,000, the new 2013 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive was always a good deal, but the low new lease price we just found still manages to surprise. Mentioned over at Kelley Blue Book, the lease price is an official $139 a month, putting it well below the previous-gen's lease price of $599 a month back in 2010. Currently, a gas-powered Fortwo can be leased starting at $99 a month.

That battery-swapping thing may be a little much for most electric-vehicle drivers to handle, but battery leasing is apparently right up their alley, judging by early sales of the Smart Fortwo ED battery-electric vehicle.

For some people, buying an electric car is a long-time dream. For others, the excitement comes simply from driving one and not having to worry about the hassles of vehicle ownership. Turns out, there are at least 6,000 such people in San Diego, CA, where Daimler's easy-access car-sharing program, Car2go, reported that many users in the program's first 100 days. Car2go is also happy to note that the 300 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive models that are in use there now means that, "for the first time i

If given the choice, we'd grab the keys to an all-electric Smart ForTwo way before its gasoline-powered sibling, if for no other reason than it would mean we wouldn't have to put up with that horrid automated manual transmission. But such faint praise isn't really fair to the Brabus Electric Drive. After all, it's got 80 horsepower on tap, which is plenty for the little urban runabout, and its 100 pound-feet of torque ought to be available from zero rpm.

Daimler is getting ready to beef up the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive for the third-gen version, but the new EV won't be arriving on schedule, according to new reports. The problem has something to do with the lithium-ion batteries. The cells are being made by Li-Tec and a Daimler spokeswoman told Automotive News that, "There are no technical or quality problems with the batteries, but we don't want to lower our sights in safeguarding quality. That's why we're accepting a delay." Li-Tec is a joint

These days, running Windows on your Mac is pretty straightforward thanks to virtualisation software. You can even manage it without paying a single penny thanks to VirtualBox, but the truth is, if you're serious about running Windows apps on your Mac, then Parallels Desktop is the tool to choose.
Parallels allows you to emulate just about any flavour of Windows as well as older builds of OS X and even Linux too. You can set up as many virtual machines as you want - your only limit is available disk space, the system requirements of your chosen VM and whether or not you have valid install media (and product key).
Over the years Parallels has evolved its feature set to make running Windows apps on your Mac as seamless as possible - you can set up your VM in Coherence mode for example where the Windows desktop is hidden away and your applications run directly from your Mac desktop in their own window, with key Windows tools such as the Start menu accessible from the menu bar. It works well for those who aren't interested in anything than getting certain apps to run on their Mac.
Setting up your VM has always been straightforward too, but from version 10 it gets a whole lot easier, with redesigned wizards and intelligent presets (such as your regional settings coming from your Mac) speeding things up further.
VMs have always been a drain on system resources, and while you can't expect to enjoy the same level of performance from one, Parallels Desktop 10 takes steps to close the performance gap further, promising faster loading times for documents (up to 48%), reduced memory usage (up to 10%) and even better power usage (save up to 30% on battery life).
Version 10 promised to make use of Yosemite's new features to improve integration between your Windows VM and the Mac desktop too. Other integrated improvements include Windows apps being automatically added to the dock when installed, for example, while users can now drag and drop files to the VM's dock icon to open them in Windows.
Although a little pricey - the cost of Parallels is more than a copy of Windows - if you're serious about emulating Windows or Windows apps on your Mac, or want access to older versions of OS X for compatibility purposes, it's the go-to virtualisation app you need.
What's new in v11.0.1?
- Resolves an issue with virtual machines stalling when trying to boot from a SATA drive
- Resolves an issue with virtual machines crashing in certain circumstances when suspending
- Resolves an issue with copying and pasting from the Mac side to a virtual machine
- Resolves an issue with converting third-party virtual machines with split hard disks
- Resolves an issue with converting third-party virtual machines based on a Boot Camp partition
- Resolves an issue with empty icons in Parallels Desktop Control Center for virtual machines on external drives
- Resolves issues with installing Windows 10 from USB media
- Resolves an issue with Parallels Tools installation not automatically starting after installing Windows 10 from USB media
- Resolves an issue with Boot Camp virtual machines not suspending
- Resolves an issue with booting Windows from a Boot Camp partition after installing the virtual machine from Boot Camp.
- Resolves an issue with importing a Boot Camp virtual machine
Gets better with each new release - if you're serious about running Windows apps on your Mac, Parallels Desktop is the tool you need.

The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the National Science Foundation this spring endorsed the work of three Hamilton researchers.
Professor of Geology Eugene Domack and Henry Drewal '64 received Guggenheim fellowships designed to provide scholars "with blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible."
Drewal, the Evjue-Bascom Professor of Art History and Afro-American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is pursuing his project, The Senses in Understandings of African Art. An art historian specializing in
the arts of the Yoruba-speaking peoples of West Africa and the African Diaspora, Drewal spent six years of study in Africa, including apprenticeships with Yoruba sculptors. In 2003, he was awarded a Senior Research Fulbright to the Republic of Benin and, most recently, has focused on the visual history and culture of the African water spirit, Nami Wata, and books on Ijebu-Yoruba and Afro-Brazilian art history.
Domack will spend six months continuing to investigate the dramatic climate change that took place 600 to 750 million years ago in his project, Testing the "Snowball Earth" Hypothesis by Comparison to Antarctica Marine Deposystems. Over the last 15 years, Domack has led more than 50 undergraduates to Antarctica as part of his National Science Foundation-sponsored research. He has also conducted research on older glacial strata in Australia and has done field work on Precambrian glacial rocks in Canada and the western U.S.
Domack is the second Hamilton faculty member to receive a Guggenheim fellowship. Jay Reise, assistant professor of music, received one in 1979-80 and spent the year composing "Symphony No. 2," which was premiered by the Syracuse Symphony during its 1980-81 season. Reise is currently the Robert Weiss Professor of Music Composition at the University of Pennsylvania.
Ann Silversmith, professor of physics, received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to purchase equipment for her project, Thermal and Optical Studies of Sol-gel Materials Containing Rare Earth Ions.
"Sol-gel synthesis provides a low temperature means for preparing optically transparent amorphous materials. The method is safer, more energy efficient and more cost effective than a more traditional approach to making glasses -- thermally quenching molten material," explained Silversmith, who applied for the grant with Daniel Boye, professor of physics at Davidson College. Karen Brewer, associate professor of chemistry, also participates in the project, which began in the late 1990s.
"Karen focuses on synthesizing the optical materials -- glasses containing small amounts of rare earth impurity ions. The rare earths give the glasses their optical properties," Silversmith said. "My students and I study the materials using laser spectroscopy."
The NSF funding will be used to purchase a thermal analyzer (to analyze physical and chemical changes while the glasses form) and a cryostat (to control sample temperature during experiments) to be housed at Davidson. A CCD detector in Silversmith's lab will allow measurement of fluorescence spectra from the sol-gel materials ... More than a dozen students have assisted Silversmith in this project, including Andrew Magyar '03, whose senior project research was published in the Journal of Luminescence.

Conference ideas
Cape Town is ready and willing to host local and international conferences. Below are a few ideas for your next meeting or conference.
Sea views
Numerous venues use natural light and delegates can enjoy breaks with fantastic views of the sea. The Bay Hotel, in the trendy beach suburb of Camps Bay just 10 minutes from the city centre, can accommodate up to 550 people.
The Lagoon Beach Hotel in Milnerton has spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island and Table Mountain and can host delegates in eight venues.
For something more unusual try the Boulders Beach Lodge in Simon's Town, 45 minutes from the city centre. It can host up to 50 people without any distractions, except for the sound of the waves and the occasional bray of a penguin from the nearby African penguin colony.
Great gardens
Cape Town is recognised globally for its rich biodiversity and is the only city in the Cape Floral Region. The region was declared a natural World Heritage Site in 2004, and includes Table Mountain National Park and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.
The park offers conference facilities at the Wash House just below Table Mountain or the Buffelsfontein Visitor Centre near Cape Point.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens offers an excellent venue for up to 380 delegates, options in the Silvertree restaurant, and is also able to host functions in a marquee on the lawn.
Other venues include NH The Lord Charles in Somerset West, the Vineyard Hotel & Spa in Newlands and Clara Anna Fontein private game reserve in Durbanville.
V&A Waterfront
The popular V&A Waterfront offers excellent venues with great shopping, restaurants and attractions.
Try the Pavilion Conference Centre, which can host up to 500 delegates at a cocktail party or a small corporate meeting of only 10 people, or the corporate BOE Conference Centre with its tiered auditorium which is able to host 294 delegates.
The Forum at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel caters for groups of up to 100 in its three venues and there is a range of hotels, such as the Breakwater Lodge and Table Bay Hotel, that offer excellent conference and meeting facilities.
Getting around
The City Sight Seeing Bus Company has an ideal mode of transport for delegates attending CTICC Conferences. Take a Canal Cruise that travels every 30 minutes to and from the V & A Waterfront – it's an affordable mode of transport and is also quick and unique. There are four Hop-on Hop-Off Jetty Points for a more leisurely meander around the Waterfront.
You could host your conference or meeting on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during the apartheid years. The island is a 45-minute boat ride from the city and offers a range of venues for hire for up to 60 delegates.
The Two Oceans Aquarium provides conference options in the company of ragged-tooth sharks, graceful rays and shoals of predatory fish. You could even treat your clients to breakfast in the tranquil environment of a living kelp forest.
There are options to host meetings and conferences in African style incorporating South Africa's rich cultural traditions of food and drink, dancing and drumming.
Try The Africa Cafe, on the corner of Buitengracht Street and Shortmarket Street, or Gold of Africa restaurant at 96 Strand Street.
Top of the range
The queen of Cape Town's conference venues is definitely the Cape Town International Convention Centre, located on the Foreshore against the backdrop of Table Mountain. This world-class centre can host any meeting or conference that you can imagine.
For more information on the support provided, contact the Cape Town Convention Bureau on +27 21 487 4800 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. There are excellent conference organisers who will assist with all your conference needs.
To view a database of Cape Town Tourism conference organiser partners, contact Cape Town Tourism on +27 21 487 6800 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Our Contact Centre is also able to assist with accommodation, venues, transport and other support services.

» How Can Manufacturers Attract More Women?
How Can Manufacturers Attract More Women?
Author(s): Josh Cable
Feb. 06, 2013
A new report by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute concludes that women "represent manufacturing's largest pool of untapped talent."
The question, then, is how can manufacturers attract top female talent?
Not surprisingly, it begins with commitment from senior management.
"A cultural change begins in the C-suite," Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute assert in the report, titled
"Untapped Resource: How Manufacturers Can Attract, Retain and Advance Talented Women."
"For diversity and inclusion initiatives and programs to gain traction throughout an organization, senior leaders must be aligned on [diversity and inclusion] as a business priority and must visibly lead by example."
Executives' incentives and rewards should be linked to their progress toward meeting diversity and inclusion goals, the report adds.
Some companies enlist the help of outside councils to advise senior leaders and hold them accountable for progress toward meeting such goals.
Other strategies outlined in the report:
Address gender bias with awareness training.
While gender discrimination is less of an issue these days, a number of studies have indicated that gender
still exists.
"Leading organizations, across industries, are addressing these unconscious biases through targeted awareness training that are designed to build executive awareness of their own biases so that they can consciously adjust their behaviors and decision-making processes," the report says. "These trainings uncover the drivers of each individual's thought process, highlights how unconscious biases impact key decisions, and provides strategies to create a more inclusive workplace."
Create a more flexible work environment.
"Manufacturers who effectively rethink when and where work gets done will have a competitive edge in the talent war," the report asserts.
The report advises manufacturers to consider "shifting from a 'presence-driven' culture to a 'results-driven' culture."
"Many leading companies recognize and reward individuals and teams who drive results, regardless of when and where work is being done."
Foster sponsorship.
In a survey of more than 600 women in manufacturing, Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute found that women believe that "sponsorship is an effective tactic to support women's advancement into leadership positions."
"A sponsor advocates for an individual and undertakes responsibility for that person's development and professional progression," the report explains.
Women in sponsorship relationships are 30 percent more likely to receive stretch assignments, promotions and pay raises, according to the report.
Promote personal development.
"Manufacturers that offer customized learning and development may have an advantage in the retention and advancement of women," the report says.
Manufacturers can support the technical and leadership development of women in a number of ways, including providing a clear of understanding of what's required in various roles and positions; assessing "high-potential talent" or encouraging such individuals to conduct self-assessments; and helping talent "build out an experiential-based development plan."
Build a strong employer brand.
"An overwhelming majority of survey respondents believe that manufacturers can improve their efforts to recruit women," the report says.
Strategies include recruiting at schools that have large numbers of women STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] graduates; keeping female leaders "visibly engaged" in recruiting efforts; and building relationships with high-school and college teachers and advisors to keep them informed about career opportunities and talent needs in manufacturing.
'Compelling Business Case'
There's a "compelling business case" for bringing more women into the manufacturing fold, according to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute.
Not only are women "critical to addressing the skills gap in manufacturing," but women also are "consumers and influencers" whose "experiences and insights could contribute significantly to the industry's competitiveness."
"Finally, research indicates that organizations with diverse leadership are more profitable," the report explains. "A study by Catalyst, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for women and business, found that Fortune 500 companies with high percentages of women officers had a 35 percent higher return on equity and a 34 percent higher total return than companies with fewer women executives."

"Executives' incentives and rewards should be linked to their progress toward meeting diversity and inclusion goals, the report adds."
Actually, Executive's incentives and rewards should be based on how well the company performs in meeting it's BUSINESS goals; Revenue growth, gross margin, operating expense, etc... This is done by employing the best people (men or women) that the company can affort. It is NOT accomplished by incorporating some vague "feel-good" diversity goal conceived by someone outside the business.
If hiring a woman helps a company acheive that goal, great. If a company discriminates against a person in hiring (be is a woman or minority) to the point of hiring someone less qualified to do the job, then that company is pushished in the marketplace when their competitor hires that person.

I first encountered tangible user interfaces (TUIs) at the Ars Electronica exhibition in 2003, where I saw James Patten's Audiopad project and Sony CSL's Block Jam. These TUIs, along with others I have since found, inspired me to pursue a Ph.D. to study and develop new musical instruments, and influenced my design for the BeatBearing.
The main idea behind TUI design is that the user should be given a physical handle on the digital data. Importantly, this handle should allow the user not only to feel and see the data, but also to grasp and manipulate it. In the case of the BeatBearing, you "read" and manipulate the sequencer through the arrangement of the balls.
One design challenge I've found with TUIs is how to include a visual display. Typical computer game interfaces (and others) have you look at the screen while manipulating a controller elsewhere. Many TUI researchers create more direct connections by projecting an image onto a control surface from above or below. I've tried top-projection with instruments I've designed, but found it cumbersome, especially if you want a portable instrument for playing live. My solution for the BeatBearing was to ditch the expensive digital projector and show the visuals from below using a cheaper CRT.
I deliberately designed this project to be a base upon which further tangible interfaces could be developed. I believe it has the potential to do much more than this original version.
Each part of the BeatBearing is simple enough to allow for easy modification. Here are some ideas:
Different software applications are possible; for example, rather than a sequencer, how about a real-time performance instrument?

This is a smallish and as some say, slightly dated hotel. However the charm and location of the place and the helpfulness of the owner and staff more than overcome any small issues with the decor. If your looking for a very reasonably priced hotel with a great location and most of the comforts you need then go no further. The only thing we slightly missed was a refrigerator, but again no big deal. The views from the front facing rooms are spectacular, although the pay off for this is that you are directly above the road, however we found noise not a severe problem and by the time we returned from our evening meal hardly noticable. A couple of restaurants within a 2 min walk. The Cliff, good prices and great tasty food with a good selection of local wines and very helpful staff is highly recommended.
There is a small selection of local shops including a pharmacy , other eateries that seem to be seasonal, a shore front bar/ sandwich/icecream parlour and a small supermarket within walking distance.
The hotel, and the area in general is ideal for couples and older travellers, I dont think it holds much for families other than a nice place to pass through for a night or so. it would be difficult to keep children entertained as the shore front is rocky with a small pebble beach at best
To sum up, bear in mind you are not booking into the Hilton (or paying those prices) and you will enjoy your stay here. A great place to chill out

Is Blogging Finally Dead?104 Comments
As someone who runs a blogging company I am always very curious about the trends that blogging itself is undergoing.
This is especially important to me as a lot of people look to this website for information about best practices when it comes to our much-loved medium.
And something that has been popping up more and more over the last few years is whether or not blogging is finally dead (or at least dying).
Today I want to show you some interesting data that might help you determine for yourself whether or not you want to keep putting time, money and effort into your blog.

I've been trying to incorporate some designs into specific parts of my site. More specifically an image behind the comic wrap where the comic sits and custom button images for my menu on the left a little like this.
I've tried adding background: url (imagepath) to the .comic-wrap in the css but I couldn't get it working.
You can see on the site that I got the menu images a bit but it only reveals a small part of the image.
If anyone can help me with these it would be much appreciated.
