Central Authentication Service – CAS: concepts and examples
23 August, 2008 at 14:33 18 comments
The Central Authentication Service (CAS) is a single sign-on protocol for the web. Its purpose is to permit a user to log into multiple applications simultaneously and automatically. It also allows untrusted web applications to authenticate users without gaining access to a user's security credentials, such as a password. The name CAS also refers to a software package that implements this protocol.
The Central Authentication Server (CAS) is designed as a standalone web application. It is currently implemented as several Java servlets and runs through the HTTPS server on secure.its.yale.edu. It is accessed through three URLs described below: the login URL, the validation URL, and the optional logout URL.
To use the central authentication service, an application redirects its users, or simply creates a hyperlink, to the login URL, which for general-purpose Yale users is https://secure.its.yale.edu/cas/servlet/login. Users may also access this URL manually if they wish to pre-authenticate their sessions.
The login URL handles actual, "primary" authentication. That is, it prompts the user for a NetID and a password and validates the pair against Yale's Kerberos server. (More specifically, it determines whether or not it can decode a Kerberos IV ticket-granting ticket for the given NetID with a given password; if it can, it accepts the pair and throws away the ticket.) To allow for the possibility of automatic re-authentication later, the CAS also attempts to send an in-memory cookie (one that expires automatically when the browser closes) back to the browser. This cookie, which we call a "ticket-granting cookie," identifies the user as one who has already logged in successfully. (more)
Why Adopt CAS?
While the most prominent appeal of CAS that is centralizes the user login implementation and experience, there are many other advantages, including these listed below.
- Participating applications do not touch the end user's password, and therefore cannot expose this password if they are compromised
- Offers features for proxy authentication
- Ability to enforce uniform enterprise authentication and authorization policies across the system
- End to end user audit sessions to improve security reporting and auditing
- Removes application developers from having to understand and implement identity security in their applications
- Usually results in significant password help desk cost savings
How to get CAS up quickly in Windows
This tutorial is to demonstrate how to get CAS up quickly in Windows -> and testing it works.
1. Apache tomcat is installed and running
2. Java(JDK) is installed.
1. Download Apache directory server from http://directory.apache.org/
Run the setup with all the defaults and test that the server is working on localhost (default is port 10389)
Alternatively you can test with telnet
In the telnet console, type open localhost 10389 -> if you get a screen that lets you type (Apache Directory is configured properly), close telnet if you get this screen
2. Download the CAS installation and find the war file e.g. \cas-server-3.2.1\modules\cas-server-webapp-3.2.1.war
3. Start the Tomcat server, and after it is started..add the war file (cas-server-webapp-3.2.1.war) to the webapps folder e.g. C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cas-server-webapp-3.2.1.war
Now that CAS is deployed you should have an unpacked directory in your webapps folder e.g. C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cas-server-webapp-3.2.1
4. Stop the tomcat server
5. Now you have to add the following to the pom.xml file in the META-INF folder (e.g. C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cas-server-webapp-3.2.1\META-INF\maven\org.jasig.cas\cas-server-webapp)
<dependency> <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId> <artifactId>cas-server-support-ldap</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> </dependency>
6. Add the following to the deployerConfigContext.xml file in the WEB-INF directory e.g. C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cas-server-webapp-3.2.1\WEB-INF (Connects to the default Apache Directory Server configuration)
<bean id="contextSource" class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.util.AuthenticatedLdapContextSource"> <property name="pooled" value="true"/> <property name="urls"> <list> <value>ldap://localhost:10389</value> </list> </property> <property name="userName" value="uid=admin,ou=system"/> <property name="password" value="secret"/> <property name="baseEnvironmentProperties"> <map> <entry> <key> <value>java.naming.security.authentication</value> </key> <value>simple</value> </entry> </map> </property> </bean>
7. Add the corresponding AuthenticationHandler to the deployerConfigContext.xml file (Remove the SimpleAuthenticationHandler) and Add the following in it's place
<bean class="org.jasig.cas.adaptors.ldap.FastBindLdapAuthenticationHandler" > <property name="filter" value="uid=%u,ou=system" /> <property name="contextSource" ref="contextSource" /> </bean>
Acegi as CAS Client
The Spring Framework is a popular, layered Java/J2EE application framework, with features including powerful JavaBeans-based configuration management; generic abstraction for transaction management; JDBC abstraction layer; integration with Hibernate, JDO and iBATIS SQL Maps; rich AOP functionality; and a flexible web MVC framework. Spring provides packages that assist in building complex web applications, web services endpoints, and Swing-based rich clients.
The Acegi Security System for Spring provides a wide range of security services for Spring-based applications, including method interception, web request interception and redirection, and rich client (Swing) integration. Acegi Security maintains packages which provide full integration with CAS. The packages also allow (but do not require) Acegi Security's AuthenticationProviders – which include JDBC, in-memory and JAAS wrapper providers – to be used as CAS PasswordHandlers, easing migration from stand-alone Acegi Security applications to a CAS-managed environment.
Ruby on Rails CAS Client
A Ruby implementation of the CAS client is now available at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubycas-client/
The library is designed to easily integrate with Rails as an ActionController filter, but may be adapted for other purposes. The easiest way to install the client is via ruby gems, by typing the following at a shell prompt (you will probably need root access):
gem install rubycas-client
It can also be installed into a Rails application as a plugin:
script/plugin install http://rubycas-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rubycas-client
Documentation and example usage is available at http://rubycas-client.rubyforge.org/
A simple CAS client
phpCAS can be used the simplest way, as a CAS client (example_simple.php):
<?php // // phpCAS simple client // // import phpCAS lib include_once('CAS.php'); phpCAS::setDebug(); // initialize phpCAS phpCAS::client(CAS_VERSION_2_0,'sso-cas.univ-rennes1.fr',443,''); // no SSL validation for the CAS server phpCAS::setNoCasServerValidation(); // force CAS authentication phpCAS::forceAuthentication(); // at this step, the user has been authenticated by the CAS server // and the user's login name can be read with phpCAS::getUser(). // logout if desired if (isset($_REQUEST['logout'])) { phpCAS::logout(); } // for this test, simply print that the authentication was successfull ?>   <title>phpCAS simple client</title>
Successfull Authentication!

the user's login is <?php echo phpCAS::getUser(); ?>.

phpCAS version is <?php echo phpCAS::getVersion(); ?>.

Logout

Run-time behaviour configuration
When setting up a CAS proxy client, some runtime behaviour can be easily configured.
Language (example_lang.php)
<?php // // phpCAS simple client configured with another language // // import phpCAS lib include_once('CAS.php'); // initialize phpCAS phpCAS::client(CAS_VERSION_2_0,'sso-cas.univ-rennes1.fr',443,''); // no SSL validation for the CAS server phpCAS::setNoCasServerValidation(); // set the language to french phpCAS::setLang(PHPCAS_LANG_FRENCH); // force CAS authentication phpCAS::forceAuthentication(); // at this step, the user has been authenticated by the CAS server // and the user's login name can be read with phpCAS::getUser(). // moreover, a PGT was retrieved from the CAS server that will // permit to gain accesses to new services. // for this test, simply print that the authentication was successfull ?>   <title>Exemple d'internationalisation de phpCAS</title>
Authentification réussie !

L'utilisateur connecté est <?php echo phpCAS::getUser(); ?>.

La version de phpCAS est <?php echo phpCAS::getVersion(); ?>.

HTML output (example_html.php)
<?php // // phpCAS simple client with HTML output customization // // import phpCAS lib include_once('CAS.php'); // initialize phpCAS phpCAS::client(CAS_VERSION_2_0,'sso-cas.univ-rennes1.fr',443,''); // no SSL validation for the CAS server phpCAS::setNoCasServerValidation(); // customize HTML output phpCAS::setHTMLHeader('   <title>__TITLE__</title>
__TITLE__
 '); phpCAS::setHTMLFooter('
 <address> phpCAS __PHPCAS_VERSION__, CAS __CAS_VERSION__ (__SERVER_BASE_URL__) </address>   '); // force CAS authentication phpCAS::forceAuthentication(); // at this step, the user has been authenticated by the CAS server // and the user's login name can be read with phpCAS::getUser(). // for this test, simply print that the authentication was successfull ?>   <title>phpCAS simple client with HTML output customization</title>
Successfull Authentication!

the user's login is <?php echo phpCAS::getUser(); ?>.

phpCAS version is <?php echo phpCAS::getVersion(); ?>.

Background for Developers
How does the user navigate between CAS and your application
In order to reach CAS and then your application, a URL must be provided to the browser with a service parameter. The service parameter would be the login location of your application. This would usually be done as a redirect from an application requiring login. For instance, to enter the application https://www.ucalgary.ca/itutil?process=CASMenu with a CAS ticket, the browser would need to open CAS with https://cas.ucalgary.ca/cas/login?service=https://www.ucalgary.ca/itutil?process=CASMenu
When successfully authenticated, the user's browser will be redirected back with a ticket parameter
Ticket authentication and possible service points
Your application can validate a ticket using a few different service URLs on the CAS server depending on the data you need and the client API you are using. To avoid rewriting basic partsin code, a number of client API's are available for general download at http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/client/index.html with the Java API being the most mature. There is also a local custom client API for .Net developers which can be requested from email@example.com. In addition you can write your own client API that makes an https request and parses the response. These are the service points available for validating CAS tickets with example responses. The examples show sample responses for eid e.pilgrim with a username of epilgrim. (more)

Bonsoir ,
concernant la partie phpCAS c'est pas bien détaillé et c'est le cas pour tout les autres sites malheureusement .
j'ai besoin de modifier l'exemple ci dessus afin que je puisse me rediriger vers mon application développé en php lorsque l'authentification de CAS est vérifier .
je veux savoir ou modifer et comment .
Merci d'avance
We have casified the connection between our portal server (hosted by campusEAI) and our banner self service application. Some users
who login to the portal for the first time, get the same error message one would get if you entered an invalid password. If they attempt to login again the connection is accepted. This occurs whenever the
connection between the portal and banner self service times out.
This only happens to a few users, and i was curious to know if anyone had experienced something similar. The banner self service application utilizes oracles weblogic server, and the authentication comes from the oracle wallet.

This was a Facebook post From last week!
"When we deliver prescriptions for the Medicine Shoppe💊💊💊 and hand people our card they always say, "Oh so you deliver other things too? So you could have picked up my grocery🍞🍉🍏 or food 🍔🍟or whatever else too💝!" We say yep! That's the advantage of using an errand service! The choices are endless. www.RollinDelivery.com/services.html"
Here is the run down of just a few of the task we performed during the week.
1) We shopped for our clients grocery from a list they emailed us.
2) We cashed a check for our client, picked up their online grocery order, purchased 2 money orders, dropped off their grocery and then paid their rent with the money orders.
3) We picked up and delivered our clients prescription medication and took them a meal from a nearby restaurant.
So not only do our clients get a variety of task completed, sometimes they get more than one task completed at a time.
If the clients who requested these task are reading this just know that we love every minute of serving you. Thank you for using Rollin Delivery & Errands!
We want to give you the key to more time, more independence and especially more choice.

Friday's Weekly Round Up - 165
[Allen Ginsberg, 1954 - oil on canvas - painting by Robert LaVigne]
Two weeks since the last round-up, so let's get right to it.
[Robert LaVigne - Photograph by Myles Aronowitz]
Robert Lavigne - The troubling case of Robert LaVigne and the allegedly stolen paintings.
Newspaper reports last year noted a court case involving LaVigne and his former assistant George Chebanyuk - ("Chebanyuk is alleged to have tried to sell off six works created by LaVigne, including a nude presumably depicting Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg").
A jury deliberated for four hours, on February 4, and returned a not-guilty verdict.
A civil lawsuit remains outstanding (in May, Chebanyuk sued the Seattle Police Department for the return of the artwork).
Over all this in-fighting and bickering sits the sad, dwindling, spectre of the artist (seminal artist of the Beat Generation), "in declining health".
[sad update - we've just heard today (Friday February 21) of the death, yesterday in Seattle, following a stroke and brief hospitalization, of Robert LaVigne - he'd been, as we say, ailing for some time - he was 85 - more news when we get it - he's, of course, very much in our thoughts]
Vintage Ginsberg audio - Ginsberg reads (Giuseppe) Ungaretti - Thanks to Guilherme Ziggy for putting up on Soundcloud Allen's July 1967 reading, at the Festival of The Two Worlds in Spoleto, from "Il Taccuino Del Vecchio" ( Ungaretti's "The Old Man's Notebook").
Plenty more Ginsberg on Soundcloud. See, for example here - and here - and, most interestingly and curiously, here.
More Burroughs materials. (Burroughs, of course, is, likewise amply featured on Soundcloud). We don't think we've mentioned the University of Delaware Library's show - "Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted - William S Burroughs at 100" on view until June 13. We did mention the Lawrence Art Museum's William S. Burroughs - Creative Observer (up for a week or so more, until March 2nd). Curator Yuri Zupancic can be seen speaking of that show, and of Burroughs' art work in general, here.
Recommended reading - Chal Ravens' piece, "The Priest And The Wild Boys - William Burroughs As Musician", in The Quietus - on "the rise and fall of (his, Burroughs') musical legacy".
William, having been commissioned by the magazine Crawdaddy, on attending a Led Zepplin concert in 1975: "I declined ear-plugs. I am used to loud drum and horn music from Morocco, and it always has, if skillfully performed, an exhilarating and energizing effect on me".
(The rest of that piece (including Burroughs' interview with Led Zepplin's Jimmy Page) may be read here).
Iggy Pop "reflects on Burroughs' extraordinary life with close friends and artists who felt his influence", on BBC's Radio 4, here.
Here's Heathcote Williams' recollections, (looking back over almost five decades), of Burroughs in London.
Jaap Van Der Bent's judicious review of Hilary Holladay's American Hipster (Herbert Huncke biography) on the European Beat Studies Network may be found here
Check out also Estíbaliz Encarnación-Pinedo's review (both in English and Spanish) 0n Bob Kaufman
and Thomas Antonic's conversation with the extraordinary ruth weiss, on the same site, is also well worth perusing.
The European Beat Studies Network next conference will be in Tangier, Morocco in November (November 17-19). For more details on that - see here
[Maggie Estep (1963-2014)]
New York East Village stories - Poet/performer Maggie Estep died last week - a little too soon, a little too suddenly. An alumnae of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa (she memorably studied there in the mid 1980's, taking classes with, amongst others, Allen and Burroughs)
Here's a little memoir/note she wrote on Allen, on the occasion of last year's Tompkins Square Park "Howl" Festival:
"His was an excellent spirit. He gave me very useful critiques when I was starting out, and I also had the honor of opening for him at NYU [New York University] not too long before he died. Best part of it was coming off the stage and Allen standing there beaming, then giving me a bear hug and saying, "That was magnificent". It meant the world to me -
Also, one time, my kid brother Chris was visiting me at my hovel on East 5th Street in the mid 1990's. He casually asked me for Allen's street address and then said, "I'm going for a walk". Chris came back several hours later to report that he had randomly rung Allen Ginsberg's bell, said, "I just want to shake your hand" into the intercom, then was buzzed up. Allen showed him his library (really, his library) and made him some oatmeal".

Well yes, it goes without saying that the UN deserves the coveted Power Line Green Weenie Award every week, but this week stands out for the simple reason that the Rio+20 "Earth Summit" is commencing down in Brazil. The original Earth Summit in 1992 gave us the Kyoto Protocol (how's that workin' out for ya, greenies?), a parallel diplomatic process on biodiversity, and a crazy-quilt, everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink, phonebook-sized wish list known as "Agenda 21" that had no legal force but which was the perfect expression of environmental neurosis and a source of endless mischief. Back then, if your recall is good, environmentalists demanded that President Bush attend and submit to this regime, which he dutifully did. As we noted here previously, President Obama is not turning up for this green reunion, and you can hear the crickets chirping among environmental groups. (Oh sure, they put up an online petition you could sign asking The One to attend. Wow.)
The Wall Street Journal headline and lede this morning sums it up pretty well: "Rio Eco-Summit Fights Conference Fatigue."
Thousands of officials from government, business and other groups are converging on Rio this week to advance the cause of sustainable development. Their timing couldn't be worse. . .
The event also comes hot on the heels of other global environmental gatherings that have fallen short of hopes, leading to fatigue and diminished expectations. Some news coverage has already depicted the meeting as a failure, in part because some prominent world leaders won't attend and in part because there isn't a clear agenda to frame the discussion.
It gets worse from there. But take heart! The New York Times still believes!—sort of:
The 80-page draft text that the delegates will be discussing addresses a number of important issues. Yet it is clear that not only has humanity failed to address the problems at the needed scale in the intervening years, but that "Rio+20" will fail to do so as well.
That said, it would be shortsighted to give up on Rio+20: humanity needs the building blocks that can be added by this conference to be as robust as possible. . .
What in fact can be achieved at Rio+20? First, there could be a wholehearted agreement on the draft.
Yes, yes, by all means let's make sure the "draft" gets everything right. And then the world will be saved.
Everybody ready? Losers.

I recently spent some time at the annual conference for Nord Anglia Education. BIS Abu Dhabi is one of 41 schools within the group now and, as ever, the opportunity to share ideas with Principals of schools from across the world was rewarding and inspiring. Our students already benefit from so many aspects of being part of a wider group and it is so exciting to see this being continually developed and expanded.
One unique aspect of being part of a Nord Anglia School is our partnership with The Juilliard School in New York. In case anyone is not already familiar, Juilliard is arguably the world's leading school for Performing Arts, and our partnership with them is going to drive our curriculum for Music and Dance for this year and for many years to come.
This term we are receiving visits from Juilliard staff and Juilliard graduates who are working with our teachers and students. Imagine how exciting it is if you are working on a GCSE Dance project and you receive guidance in your school from the Head of Dance at Juilliard!
The Juilliard graduate who is with us this week is Jessica Meyer, a violist, composer and educator, who is working with children from many year groups. Not only has this inspired our students but also makes a big difference in supporting professional development for our teachers for lessons in the future.
Whilst we recognise our esteemed visitors, we should also acknowledge the Miniature Musical that took place on Monday. This orchestra and choir was made up of 250 of our Year 1 and Year 2 students. Although this meant the Hall was a little crowded, the impact such an event can have on inspiring young musicians and singers is immense.
Our official launch of the Juilliard collaboration takes place next week, including an event for parents, which is outlined elsewhere in this newsletter. All are welcome to attend, and please do keep encouraging your children to take advantage of all the amazing opportunities that lie before them.

Affiliation: Itself, Arcadia Itself.
Titles: Fate, The Norn, The Threefold Seers
Wyrd: Always suppressed, all-consuming, all-encompassing.
Age: An alien concept to Time Itself.
Appearance: The Wyrd used to manifest as three blind women seers, but of late it has had the tendency to clothe itself in the shape of a tall humanoid figure wearing green robes. Its face is obscured by the shadows of the hood it wears, and it wears a pair of black steel gauntlets on its hands.
Personality: Aloof. Mysterious. All-knowing. Obsessive-compulsive about Fated actions occurring.
Supreme Contract of Time: The Wyrd has complete and utter control over time.
Supreme Contract of Fate: The Wyrd can perceive, change and enforce actions that are destined to happen. Curses can be levied, luck can be altered and destinies can be rewritten.
Supreme Contract of Wyrd: The Wyrd is omnipotent and omniscient regarding events in Arcadia. It can create a new Fae whenever it so desires, and can likewise write a Fae out of existence. Any Aspect of Reality can be doomed and fated to never be able to strike a Contract with a Fae.
Other Abilities
Impassive Watcher: The Wyrd may only ever take action if Fated events are in danger of being avoided.
Unflexing View: The Wyrd cannot comprehend the concept of free will. If presented with a choice, it will either directly ignore it if possible, or be compelled to take the action that disturbs the time line and fate of the world least.
Cryptic: The Wyrd is physically incapable of giving a straight answer when asked a question.
Total Dominance: No Fae can have any degree of Contract with Fate, Time or Wyrd. They are the sole domains of the Wyrd itself.
Eternal and Necessary: The Wyrd is Time and Fate. It does not age and cannot be killed. It can be harmed and its thoughts disrupted by stopping a Fated event from occurring.

Okay so I was wondering just what sort of classes and races people were playing. I have two concepts in mind, a human fighter or an Elven Cleric, I'm leaning toward the latter one. Before I get everything worked out I wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on toes and that we'd mesh well together as a group. So, that being said... can I get a roll call on who is planning on what? or at least ideas?
Dreamweaver and Emmaline, let me know when you are back up to speed so we can get moving on your characters.

If you read my entries these days then you must have become tired of my whining all the time that things are very tough for me. On the one hand, my health has been consistently bad for the last 6 months and in our small network, we have been missing two of our regular bloggers for quite some time now and it has put me in the most challenging condition in my blogging career of 4 years.
Today, one of the bloggers has come back from long sickness and it helped me in every way. So, I feel relaxed and because he did his part of the job, I can now work on my part in a calm mood.
I learnt a valuable lesson today. It is difficult to work under pressure. I was good at working under the pressure and meet strong challenges and deadlines. However, bad health and continuous mental stress have their toll on me and I cannot do that anymore.
My health has been improving lately and it is helping my mind. So, perhaps, from today, I can focus on my writing more and do works regularly.
I need to focus on dealing with mental pressure better. I don't know if meditation would work for me. However, I really need to now deal with pressure.
Well, at least, today, I don't have any pressure and I do not need to think of the work of others in my network. I just can focus on my own work.

So sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but you know how it is! With back to school sales, I get to shop a lot in real life! Maybe I should make a real life blog. Although, all my money spent on clothes, were clothes for my kiddlets. But that's okay! That's so Kyoot has new releases (prolly old by now, because it took me forever to blog these outfits!), but they are still so KYOOT!
In the first picture, I wore the dress to my trial sister's Welcome Home party. It is such an adorable outfit, I just love it to pieces. But the leggings, aren't glowy in SL, that's just how it came out edited. Hmmmph! But this outfit comes with the dress, Kid and Baby sizes, leggings in Kid and Baby sizes, flats, a belt around your torso, and a hair bow! I love the polka dots on the dress, it gives it a variety of neutral colors. So you can style anything neutral with it. Whether you replace the shoes, leggings, or whichever!
In the second picture, it just reminds me of summer, and rays of sunshine! Summer is coming to an end, we have less than a month of it left. Which gives you all the reason in the world, to go purchase the outfit! You get flippy floppies, the belts, a skirt, shirt, and bracelets. You can mix and match the bracelets with any outfit too! I don't want summer to end, so I will definitely be soaking up some rays, in this adorable outfit.
And a little update on me! My trial is going good, the Hart - O'Mailey family is super sweet, and amazing. My best friend Alice went on trial, so we're twinning, woot!

Durable Goods Orders Fall
The economy is giving mixed messages. Orders for durable goods like cars and appliances fell .1 percent last month after a 4.1 increase in July. The decline is mostly due to an 8.5 percent drop in the orders of cars. But another indicator shows that businesses are continuing to invest, unfazed by the recent market upheaval. Nondefense capital goods increased 1.1 percent last month after falling 0.2 percent in July. "It shows that we're not falling off a cliff, which helps," says a chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial.

It was through the band Loves! that Aiha met up with Tabasa Hayashi, her bass player in THE GIRL. Tabasa had been a fan of Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her. When Aiha asked her if she would be interested in forming a band together, it was Tabasa who suggested forming a "girl band". They added Naoko Okamoto on drums, and Aiha got to work writing songs. She even built her new band a rehearsal/recording studio, and the eventual result was their first release, a full-length CD which they dubbed "Lost In Wonder". Lost In Wonder is a bit of a return to the simplicity of the Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her sound. There are even a couple of songs where Aiha lets her guitar rage like in the old punk days, and THE GIRL is a trio like Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her was for the majority of its career. Sometimes Aiha seems more interested in the riff, just grabbing a phrase to base her lyrics on. 'Say Something Better' is based on derivations of the phrase, "You gonna tell me something". At other times riffing on a simple phrase expands into a dialogue, sometimes with herself, sometimes with conflicting ideas. The CD starts out with 'Inside You' which seems to be a series of piano phrases with "Tell me everything you have inside you." gently sung over it. The major difference between THE GIRL and Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her is that Aiha is calmer now, more mature. A song like Perfect Me, (which was co-written with Tabasa Hayashi) where she encourages herself to go out and get what she wants, seems as much an encouragement to her daughter, and all women, as it is to herself. 'It's Me, Myself' adds a tabla drum, and when they play it live she encourages the audience to clap along at a quick pace, to take its place. 'Idiots' is a love song with a twist. The phrase, "He doesn't know anything/How could I know everything" is resolved with the line, "If there's no future, I'll make it up for you." 'Hair', a fascination with wavy hair, is sung over a psychedelic guitar line. '3 2 1 Out' gives Aiha a chance to let loose on a rockin' guitar riff. There's a good range of songs, from soft pop to edgy rocking, and it's an introduction to THE GIRL that they should be proud of. Whereas some of Aiha's other projects seemed to be trying to either clean up, or soften her sound, THE GIRL allows her to comfortably express herself openly and honestly. We can thank Tabasa Hayashi and Naoko Okamoto for helping this to come to pass.
The two times I was able to see THE GIRL live were wonderful experiences. Hey, it was great to see Aiha Higurashi performing live again, as she hadn't played in the U.S. in a good long time. She may very well have mellowed a bit since the days of Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her, but her songs still rock, and she seems to have even more to say about her life experience these days, or perhaps she's just more forthright and less antagonistic in expressing her emotions and views. The most impressive thing for me, as I watched them take the stage and perform their sets, was Aiha's comfortable approach to being on the stage and to her audience. She had the audience rooting for her almost immediately at both the shows I witnessed, and she didn't mind giving them orders when she wanted something from them. Her extensive experience has made her a consummate performer. She's got a good band behind her, too. Tabasa Hayashi does a wonderful job on bass, coming up with intriguing and catchy lines that make use of the full length of the fretboard. She also moves with enthusiasm and helps out on vocals. Naoko Okamoto, meanwhile, keeps the drums pounding firmly and steadily behind her bandmates.
Uhnellys played ahead of THE GIRL at each of the shows. The duo has been playing around Tokyo for some six years now, and have released a number of CDs and recordings. What impressed me the most about Uhnellys was Kim's ability, using samples he records there live in front of you, to set up the songs, often in a fraction of a minute, with his guitar, his mini-trumpet, and sometimes added vocals. Midi pounds out the beat behind him, occasionally adding back-up vocals, and Kim aggressively stalks the stage, rapping, and laying down leads and occasional trumpet squawkings over the tracks he has looped at the beginning of each song. I'm not much into rap, myself, but Kim spit out his vocals with authority, and the talented musicianship which he uses to almost effortlessly create those looped tracks for song after song was impressive. Watching Midi emphatically pound those drums behind him was fun, too.
In the second show I saw at Bowery Electric, after several songs Aiha told the audience to come up to the stage. They immediately obeyed and crowded around the front of the stage. Near the end of that set she stepped out into the crowd and into the middle of the audience, where she kneeled down and hammered away at a guitar crescendo. The band blasted away, the crowd was energized, the photographers scurried about trying to find the right angle to capture the moment, and the band rocked on. It's a moment that will be preserved in my recollections of THE GIRL's first U.S. tour. Aiha Higurashi once again had shown her stuff in New York City. Friends who had never had the chance to see Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her, felt well rewarded to have been able to finally see Aiha Higurashi in action. After the set, the band took their places behind their merchandise table, and this time the crowd didn't need to be told to gather around. THE GIRL and Uhnellys played one more show at Spike Hill, and from what I've heard, both bands proved themselves again. I was out of town and unable to attend that show, but when THE GIRL decides to visit us again, on what Aiha assures us will be a full U.S. tour, I will gladly do my best to see THE GIRL again, and you ought to make a point of seeing them, too. If you don't mind being taught how to rock by a girl, you'll be glad you did!

David Evans, head of Blaengwawr Comprehensive School in Aberaman in the Cynon Valley, says children from his school are so badly behaved there could be a tragedy.
He wants supervision on bus trips to and from the school, and the council has agreed to look at the problems.
His warning follows the inquest which reached an accidental death verdict on the death of 12-year-old Stuart Cunningham-Jones, who died when the bus he was in hit a tree near Ystradowen in the Vale of Glamorgan in December 2002.
An inquest earlier this month heard how the bus driver was distracted by pupils "messing around " by his cab. Two boys were fighting and, as one fell, he reached out and touched the steering wheel.
Speaking to BBC Wales on Friday, Mr Evans said he had received numerous complaints about his pupils' behaviour on trips to and from school - particularly those travelling on the top deck.
"Parents of our children, parents of younger children, residents, governors - you name them - there have been complaints from them all, and they are entirely justified," he said.
"Pupils are completely unsupervised and that is the same as putting them into a classroom without a teacher and telling them to write an essay.
"Pupils have been hanging out of the back of the bus - literally hanging out of the back. I am concerned someone could die."
Drivers from Shamrock Coaches, who operate the school service, have told Mr Evans some worrying stories about disruptive behaviour on board.
Last week one driver, Paul Griffiths, reported an incident on a single-deck bus he was driving with Blaengwawr pupils on board.
"They were sat on the roof of the bus when I was driving, and when I stopped, they jumped off onto the pavement," he explained.
"The roof slides back, and they just jumped up and out. If I had had to brake hard, they would have been off the top.
"If they had fallen into the path of oncoming traffic they would have died.
"That's why I believe there should be minders on all the vehicles. We can't drive and watch the children the same time."
Fellow driver Rhydian Williams said he had had similar experiences.
"They have been opening the back emergency window, there have been pupils hanging out the back - it's terrible," he said.
Shamrock Coaches and the school have put their concerns to Rhondda Cynon Taf council, but have been told that supervision will not be provided.
But David Bishop, director of environmental services at the council, said he would be looking into the problems and that everyone had a role to play.
"We will be taking some active steps over the next couple of weeks to really get to the bottom of the problem at Blaengwawr," he said.
"We need to understand what is going on there, and try to deal with the issue to ensure safety for the passengers, and then think if there are any longer-term implications for this particular school."
On Wednesday it emerged that CCTV cameras were to be tested on school buses in west Wales.

Today we are going through the female head in profile.
You can check out how to draw a male head in profile here: http://panoskamoulakos.blogspot.gr/2013/04/how-to-draw-head-in-pfofile.html
Let's start.
Step 1
Step 1
Draw the circular type shape you see below. Again notice how the jaw and the jaw bone are affecting the lower part of the face.
Step 2
Right in the middle of the head draw a horizontal axis. This where the eye rests.
Step 3
There isn't a particular scaling method for placing the eye somewhere specific (contrary to drawing 'en face'). Draw a triangular shape close to the vertical axis. Make the eyelash heavy.
Step 4
Draw the eye brow. Notice how the eyebrow on the right side goes inside the head forming a depth illusion. Draw it thin and curvy.
Step 5
Draw the axis from the beginning of the eye. This is where the nostril is. Cut the lower part of the face (from horizontal axis to jaw) in the middle. This where the nose exists.
Step 6
Draw the nose. Notice the curve starting from the eyebrow that goes in, then out and then back in again to complete the nose shape.
Step 7
Draw a vertical axis from the middle of the eye. This where the mouth is.
Step 8
Draw the mouth. Notice how the curves shape the lips and the jaw.
Step 9
Draw the neck. The neck has a slanted angle; it is not vertical to the head.
Step 10
Now draw two horizontal axis around the end of the nose and the eyebrow.
Between the axis draw the ear.
Step 11
Draw the hair. Treat hair as a whole unified shape.
It is Easter here in Athens so I will be taking a two weeks break. Therefore new post will be 19 May 2013.
One last thing if you are into social media you can check out my Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Illustration-of-Panos-Kamoulakos/110340709142917and my twitter here: https://twitter.com/PanosKamoulakos

Thursday evenings my dad teaches youth group at my church. At the last youth group Dad gave out a questionnaire worksheet with five questions:
- If someone asked you what a fool was (what makes someone a fool) what would you answer?
- If someone asked you what makes a person wise what would you answer?
- Is it possible for someone to be very smart but not very wise? Explain.
- Who is wise— the one who is wise in the world's eyes and a fool in God's eyes, or the one who is a fool in the world's eyes and wise in God's eyes?
- Which are you?
I challenge you to answer these questions. Only share the answers in a comment if you want to. Get out a piece of paper and answer them on there or copy the questions into a document and answer them there. Write them out, reflect on them. Do you want to be a fool in the world's eyes and wise in God's eyes or wise in the world's eyes and a fool in God's eyes?
Also I want to encourage my readers to see a movie that came out in theaters not that long ago called God's Not Dead. It is a wonderful movie. I would personally see it in theaters so that the entertainment industry will continue to make faith-based Christian movies as the movies that do the best in theaters will continue to be made.

It looks like the grasshopper is hugging the flower. Nutkin looks kinda lean, he'd better be stocking up on the acorns.
Finally, that sky is absolutely gorgeous. That is a wonderful photograph.

Duration: 90 min
Year: 1990
Director: Alex DeRenzy
Language: English
Country: United States
We like this movie just as much as when we reviewed the video in December, 1989. After all, who wouldn't? Keisha (as the hapless Peaches), adrift in a sea of vice, lust and corruption, is at her peak. The Alex deRenzy movie is a marvelous send-up of the Terry Southern/Mason Hoffenberg novel Candy (itself a send-up of Voltaire's Candide) —though we maintain great admiration for the first "Peaches," Desiree Cousteau.Included are eight animated chapter buttons, an interactive cast list that allows the viewer to jump to the five main actresses' best scenes, a 21-photo slide show and trailers for other VCA Classics titles. Those retailers who complain about the inability to get classics should come a-runnin'.Tracey Adams - Classic 90 porn

Slumped glass is formed through slumping, a technique of shaping the glass in a mold with the use of high temperature. This has been popular since the Roman period. They use the slumped glass on open vessels, on plates and bowls with smooth and best finish. The glass is shaped into various designs to show elegance and style.
All over the world, slumped glass manufacturers are plenty. They are producing diverse kinds of products made of glass and carefully formed into various designs through the slumping process. What you need is to look for manufacturers that can supply the kind of product that you need. Most importantly, you have to look for manufacturers that can guarantee high quality materials for their slumped glass products. There must be a product warranty for the purchased product so you are ensured that your money is safe and you can claim it back in case you are not satisfied with what you get.
There are several designs and products to choose out of slumped glass but you also can go for customized products. There are several companies that offer customized services for this and so you can create your own unique design and have the company do it for you. When ordering for customized slumped glass products, make sure you know the company that you transact business with. This is because you should know if they really can do exactly the output that you want. Customized products are also expensive but for sure you can find the least expensive one when you just do the research and make comparisons of companies that offer customized slumped glass.
You can also browse online so you can have ideas on where to buy and how to buy in different stores as well as online. There are website which offers low priced products in some instances and so you must have to figure out how you can avail such. Visit online galleries for you to be overwhelmed with fabulous glass made and formed into different stylish designed through slumping. Visit as many sites as you can and find out the designs you would like to have.
When you opt to buy or order online-this is easier to do deal or transact online with legit people. Read more reviews about the dealer, determine their ratings and it is safer to buy from stores that have been operating for several years.

Now that there are new iPhones with revised cameras, many smartphone photographers are going to want new Olloclip lenses. Thankfully, they've arrived... and Olloclip didn't just tweak the connectors and call it a day. Its new Core, Active and Macro Pro lens sets not only have improved optics ("premium multi-element coated glass," Olloclip says), but an improved interchangeable lens system. Called Connect, it separates the frame on your phone from the lens housings. This lets them quickly attach to and align with your iPhone's camera, even if you have a screen protector. You should spend less time swapping lenses and more time shooting, in other words.
Sponsored Links
The lenses themselves aren't a revolution, but they'll cover most of your photographic needs. The $100 Core Lens kit includes fisheye, 120-degree wide-angle and 15X macro lenses that prioritize flexibility above all else. You can get it with a protective case for $120. The $80 Macro Pro set includes 7X, 15X and 21X lenses for extreme close-ups, while the $120 Active Lens bundle includes both a 2X telephoto lens and a 155-degree ultra-wide lens to capture those outdoor adventures.
You can pre-order all of the lens kits today ahead of the planned early November launch. You may want to choose your lenses carefully if you have an iPhone 7 Plus, however. There's no mention of taking advantage of the Plus' longer-range secondary camera -- you're not going to combine that extra zoom with Olloclip's other optical tricks.

1938 Thanksgiving Proclamation Friday, November 22, 2013Posted by capittsley in Archives, digital collections, history, New Resources @ CSL, updates.
Tags: archives, Connecticut, DigitalCollections, film, Governor, Thanksgiving, Wilbur L. Cross
add a comment
In 1936 Governor Wilbur L. Cross penned what is widely regarded as one of the most lyrical Thanksgiving Proclamations ever written. A former English Professor and Dean of Graduate Studies at Yale, Cross was elected as Connecticut's 71st Governor in 1931. He served four terms and was defeated by Raymond E. Baldwin in 1938.
While the 1936 Thanksgiving Proclamation is a familiar piece today, in years past some of the other Thanksgiving Proclamations were equally well known. A Hartford Courant editor wrote in 1968 that "…the late Wilbur Lucius Cross in 1935 issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation that remains one of the classics of American prose." His 1931 proclamation was noted for being one sentence of 176 words. He was quoted in a November 6, 1936 Hartford Courant article as having said "I wrote the proclamation in one sentence so that it would have to be quoted in full, if at all."
It was his 1938 proclamation however that is a real treasure, as he was filmed reading it on December 9, 1938. It was the first time a Connecticut Governor had ever appeared in a sound film.
The Connecticut State Library is proud to bring you that historic film and all eight of Governor Cross's official Thanksgiving Proclamations. The film can be viewed on our YouTube channel and the proclamations can be viewed in our Flickr collection.
On behalf of the staff and board of the Connecticut State Library, Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Connecticut State Library Receives Grant for Newspaper Digitization Friday, July 26, 2013Posted by kabery in Archives, digital collections, genealogy, history, New Resources @ CSL, newspapers.
add a comment
The Connecticut State Library is pleased to announce that it has received an award of $274,034 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a two-year National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) grant to digitize historically significant Connecticut newspapers. The digital images will be included in the Library of Congress' newspaper site: Chronicling America.
Following the NDNP guidelines, the $274,034 grant will allow Connecticut to add 100,000 pages, digitized from microfilm of newspapers published in the state between 1836 and 1922. An advisory committee consisting of an historian, journalist, educator, librarian, and archivist will select the newspapers to be scanned.
"This is a great honor for Connecticut – a state where newspapers have always been important," said State Librarian Kendall Wiggin. Wiggin noted that while Connecticut boasts the nation's oldest continuously published newspaper, the Courant, by 1875, there were 78 newspapers being published in the state, including 17 dailies and 51 weeklies.
This project builds upon the earlier Connecticut Newspaper Project (1991-2002) which inventoried the state's newspaper repositories, cataloged the newspapers and preserved over 1,000,000 pages of 437 newspapers on microfilm. The State Library has already worked with digitizing newspapers through its Newspapers of Connecticut project. This has short runs of 86 titles from 1821-1929, for a total of 3,243 issues from 31 towns.
John N. Barry, Chair of the State Library Board noted that "This grant will allow the State Library to continue its work in providing easier access to the significant issues and events of our history. Connecticut's newspapers are irreplaceable sources of obtaining knowledge, and this digitization grant will continue the modernization of preserving Connecticut's rich history."

The Connecticut State Library has recently completed the digitization of a portion of the photographs from the Herbert Randall Survey of New Haven and Environs, 1880-1920 (PG 380), which is now available in its digital collections. This collection consists of approximately 141 black and white photographs of New Haven and surrounding areas. Most of the photographs are street scenes from the downtown area. Herbert Randall (1850-1926) was born in Massachusetts and lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan before opening a studio in New Haven in 1894. He served as a contributor and later as president of the Connecticut Magazine and sought to promote public awareness of the history of Connecticut. From time to time the Connecticut State Library hopes to add to this collection.
"Follow the Blue Blazes": Connecticut's Hiking Trail System Exhibit Now Open Friday, May 31, 2013Posted by aramsey in Archives, history, Museum.

add a comment
"Follow the Blue Blazes": Connecticut's Hiking Trail System exhibit opened this month in Memorial Hall at the State Library's Museum of Connecticut History, 231 Capitol Avenue in Hartford. The exhibit documents the Connecticut Forest and Park Association's role in creating, maintaining, and making hiking trails accessible to the general public through programs like Connecticut Trails Day. Included in the exhibit are maps, trail folders, patches, trail signs, booklets, and photographs.
The Connecticut Forestry Association, later named the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, was founded by a group of concerned citizens who met at the Weatogue home of Reverend Horace Winslow on December 30, 1895. The association's leadership voted on October 5, 1929 to establish a Trails Committee to administer the trails system. Today, the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail System is approximately 825 miles of trails maintained by hundreds of volunteers working in cooperation with many public and private landowners. All of the items in the exhibit are part of RG 169:007, Connecticut Forest and Park Association records which were donated by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association to the Connecticut State Library on December 17, 2012.
The exhibit may be viewed Monday through Friday 9:00 to 4:00; and Saturday 9:00 to 2:00 through August. All exhibits are free and open to the public.

The Connecticut State Library has recently completed the digitization of the Chauncey Hosford War of 1812 papers, which is now available in its digital collections. During the War of 1812, Chauncey Hosford (1784-1855) enlisted as a first lieutenant in Capt. Elizur Warner's Company of the United States Infantry Thirty-seventh Regiment on April 30, 1813. His prior military service included a commission as ensign in the Third Company of the Fourteenth Regiment of Connecticut Militia as of April 28, 1810. The Thirty-seventh Regiment was stationed at Fort Griswold in New London.
Hosford was assigned to the recruiting service and spent much of the time in his home town of Canaan in Litchfield County recruiting men from the area. Most of this collection of 101 items reflects his recruiting activities. Included is correspondence, orders, weekly recruiting returns that list the names and towns of recruits, and receipts for recruiting expenses. Also included is a muster roll for Capt. Elizur Warner's Company.
The Chauncey Hosford War of 1812 Papers was donated to the Connecticut State Library by David A. Gibbs and researched by Rosemary Pereira in 2012 and is part of the David Arthur Gibbs Collection of Hosford and Gibbs Family Papers.
October is Connecticut Archives Month Tuesday, October 2, 2012Posted by aramsey in Archives.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy has issued a proclamation recognizing October 2012 as Connecticut Archives Month. This annual event is an opportunity to raise awareness about the value of Connecticut's historical records and archives as well as the archivists who oversee them. The Connecticut State Historical Records Advisory Board has led the initiative on Connecticut Archives Month since 2005.
The Connecticut State Historical Records Advisory Board, with its co-sponsors Conservation ConneCTion and COSTEP-CT, has produced its second poster promoting Archives Month. In addition to being Archives Month, October is also Fire Prevention Month. The theme for the 2012 poster is Protect our cultural heritage. Don't let our history go up in smoke! The poster is funded by a grant awarded to the Connecticut State Library from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) on behalf of the Advisory Board.
The State Library is distributing the poster free of charge to public and academic libraries, town clerks, historical societies, museums, and firehouses across the state. If individuals or other groups who would like a copy may contact Mark Jones at the e-mail address below.
The Advisory Board and its co-sponsors are urging local historical societies, museums, public libraries and archives repositories across the state to draw up disaster preparedness/recovery plans. These plans should include a pre-fire planning tour by the local fire department.
For the third consecutive year, the State Library will post announcements of activities by historical societies, museums, libraries and archives on its website. If your organization is planning to host an Archives Month event, workshop, conference, or exhibit, please contact State Archivist Mark H. Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vagrant Aided By Police Officer Morphs Into First Rate Media Whore
I figured additional aspects of this story would develop.
It seems the vagrant provided a new pair of shoes by a good natured police officer was seen once again lurking barefoot around the streets of New York City.
It seems he has placed the shoes in hiding, thinking they will grow in value as a recognizable icon from the early days of social media.
It might be one thing to think a few steps down the road in terms of investments and the future.
However, this indigent has crossed over the line into outright greed.
No one would have known about this act of assistance without it having been photographed by a passing shutterbug that uploaded an image of the touching moment to Facebook, from where it went viral.
Now the recipient of the photographed act of kindness is demanding his cut of any royalties that might accrue or some other form of compensation since no one asked permission to take his picture.
Hopefully, he will get frostbite as a result of his decision to go discalced, but that will probably just earn this bum an even larger government handout.

Asilomar as a poor model for the interaction of science and society, Victor McElheny
Interviewee: Victor McElheny. Former science journalist Victor McElheny talks about why the Asilomar conference is not a good model for the interaction of science and society. (DNAi Location: Manipulation > Revolution > Putting it together > How should science and society interact?)
The Asilomar conference is often discussed, argued about, contested, on the question of whether it is a model for interaction between science and society or it isn't. And I think there's a pretty good short-term case as well as a long-term case that it isn't a very good model. And the short-term case is the arising in the next two or three years of this regulatory structure and all the discussions and the Cambridge city council and other city councils around the United States and in front of the California and New York legislatures, and in various committees of Congress, those, those did happen. And that's kind of a short-term statement that the experiment in self-regulation that the scientists had been playing around with very publicly, wasn't keeping the wolf from the door.

Saving is a lot like trying to lose weight. You promise to eat less, avoid bad foods and exercise more. Then you start to slack off, you loosen your belt and before long you're back to your old habits, trying to figure out where it all went wrong. If you've ever opened your bank statement and wondered where on earth all your money went, you know the feeling.
But saving isn't as much about cutting back as it is about taking control of your cash flow. You start by making sure your obligations are taken care of—your bills, rent, and mortgage payments. Once you have a handle on your cash flow, you will have a better idea of how much you can save and spend each month without going into debt. It's a liberating feeling.
Simply making more doesn't necessarily mean you'll save more. "It doesn't matter if you make $50,000 a year or $500,000 a year, if you're spending more than you're making, you're not managing your cash flow properly," says Rick Coyle, a fee-only adviser in Kemptville, N.S.
Regardless of how much you make, drawing up a budget can be tough, and following it can be even tougher. Luckily, there are two proven cash management approaches that will make you richer: the top-down approach, where you set a budget and stick to it, and the bottom-up approach, where you pay yourself first and spend the rest. Both methods are effective, but it's important to pick the strategy that works for you. "It's a personality thing," says Coyle. "I have clients who budget every penny. They're analytical, detail-oriented people who thrive on having control. Others are not that way."
If you're more disciplined, then the top-down approach could work for you. Start by collecting receipts and tracking your spending in a diary to see how well your spending matches your income. "A lot of people don't know what they spend," says Pat White, executive director of Credit Counseling Canada in Toronto. "Until you know where the money's going, you can't do a budget."
The next step involves figuring out the most effective way to use your money—how much goes to groceries versus how much you put towards savings. The top-down approach forces you to decide in advance how you are going to spend. If you find you are spending more than you've allocated to any one category then you know immediately where you need to cut back.
To help keep track of it all Sheila Walkington, co-founder of Money Coaches Canada, recommends the bucket approach, with each bucket representing a bank account. You'll need four in all. The first one is for untouchables like rent and utilities. The second is for regular monthly spending—groceries, gifts and gas. The third bucket is set aside for saving for the future, and the final bucket—the one that gets most people into trouble—is for irregular expenses, those once- or twice-a-year bills that aren't predictable on a monthly basis.
Most find the fourth bucket the hardest to manage, but there are steps you can take to make your life easier. Start by adding up all of those irregular expenses from the previous year—your car maintenance, your home insurance and travel—and then divide that number by 12. So if you're spending $6,000 on irregular living expenses, $500 a month has to go into that fourth bucket to provide for future expenses.
Next, ask yourself if there are areas where you can spend less so you can pay your debt down faster or save more money. Often those savings come from places where you least expect it. "It's not the big things that surprise people," says White. "It's the groceries, coffees and eating out."
To make sure you reach your savings goals it helps to have a calendar that shows when you get paid and what money is coming out of your account. Having a reward at the end is also beneficial since it helps you keep your eye on the prize. "Most people budget to achieve financial independence and security," says Darryl Robinson, a fee-only financial planner in Selkirk, Man. "It's like giving up that second piece of cake. Why do you do it? So you can get into that dress. There will be a reward in the future. It's psychological." If you need some help budgeting, you might try some useful online tools and apps to help get you started, such as Jumsoft's Money, iReconcile or MoneyBook.
If you're the type of person who has difficulty tracking your spending then following a budget may not be for you. You're more likely to succeed with a bottom-up approach to saving. With this method you decide how much you want to save in advance, then set up automatic transfers to a regular savings account or to a high-interest savings account that lets you take advantage of compound interest to grow it even faster (see "Savings accelerator").
For instance, you could decide you want to save 10% of your gross (before tax) income every year. To do that, you could simply set up an automatic withdrawal that coincides with your payday to redirect that money into a savings account. The money is saved automatically so you never see it, and you're never tempted to spend it. (You can also set up automatic payments for your monthly bills, and you'll never pay another late fee.) The money that remains is yours to spend, guilt-free. "But be careful," says Robinson. "You don't want to be saving 10% of your salary every month while you're still racking up debt on your credit cards. You're not likely to reach your financial goals if you're doing that."
To make this plan work, make sure you pay off your short-term debt, including credit cards, in full every month. Your financial adviser can help you manage your cash flow better by helping you set up a budget as part of a long-term financial plan.

Mulberry put on their Fall 2010 show in both NYC and London. The color palette was not muted neutrals like many other shows we saw, rather bold jewel toned colors, which was a welcomed change to many other shows we saw. The Mulberry show was playful and youthful, while still retaining a fashionable upper hand.
I was checking all of the photos and came across my favorite look from the show. This look appeals to me in every way possible. (more…)

Lexus Brings Magazine Ad to Life - With Help from a Handy iPad (Video)

Lexus loves to make a splash.
Case in point: This print ad for Lexus comes to life. That is, if you have an iPad at the ready, and if you've got the browser on it open to a special website.
You get my point. Super cool tech. Way, way too much work for most people.
But for the handful of people who'll go to all the trouble - presumbably exactly the kind of people Lexus hopes to reach - magic.
That is, if they aren't reading that magazine on the iPad instead of in print.
