Styling and sweets by me Frog prince cake and cookie design (unless otherwise noted). xo
I contacted some of my very talented friends and put together, Kati's Vintage Carnival (and confetti, lots of confetti) Party...Enjoy!!!
These sweet invitations are by Valerie of Greyson Design. She is so patient and really brought my vision to life. The custom confetti was supplied by The Confetti Bar who makes some of the coolest confetti you can imagine, she matched my color request perfectly.
Pinwheel Banner is by Peckled, after the party I decorated my house with them, yes I did!!
"Happy Birthday" mini bunting was made by Greyson Design and Peckled supplied the hand-dyed coffee filters that I used to create the ruffles behind my chalkboard...truth be told, this chalkboard was once a mirror on an old dresser. I paint anything that isn't glued down with chalkboard paint, sometimes it looks good, sometimes not so much but in this case I was SO happy with the result!
I am slightly obsessed with making marquees. They are SO time consuming but so easy, and definitely worth the time put into making them! To make this "Happy Birthday" Marquee, I printed out a template and tutorial found on Oh Happy Day! I love that blog and it's apparent that she is WAY craftier than me because it only took her a few hours to finish her marquee, it took me SEVEN hours start to finish!! (don't judge me!!) ;)
The beautiful tassels were made by One Stylish Party, I (actually my sister, Carrie..."Thanks, Carrie") sewed them to the table cloth to hang them.
These are chocolate covered Oreos by Bella's Bakery and Bowtique...it's the first time I've ever shared one of my sweet tables with another sweets vendor...but not the last!!
I'm sure the kids would've loved it if I set up an actual "throw the ball into the fishbowl and win a fish" game, but I had a feeling their parents wouldn't be loving me OR their new family pet so I came up with a fun alternative. I found these teeny tiny fish bowls at the Dollar General {SCORE!!} They are the perfect size for an individual serving of Jello. I found some blue Jello, popped in a swedish fish, put a ping pong ball on top, everyone was happy!!
No, I didn't put chalkboard paint on the cookies...they're edible, I promise!!
There was confetti everywhere and we were loving it!! I decided to add some edible confetti to these chocolate-dipped marshmallows~ YUM!! These cool, vintage looking wooden dowels are from The TomKat Studio, kindly provided by Paper and Pop!!
I am always up for a challenge when it comes to designing a cake. This one was inspired by the hatband created just for Kati by Skylar Raine. (check out the hatband at the bottom of the post).
I made the doiley to mimic the bunting I had hanging outside on the tent.
Mini bunting by Greyson Design.
Pinwheel cookie pops...made by me :)
These cotton candy cones were a huge hit with the kids (and some of the parents who stopped in as well!!) If you're going to make these PLEASE listen...make this the very last thing you do before your guests come, or before your photographer snaps a pic. of them because they melt...not just if you get them wet, the slightest bit of moisture in the air causes them to wither and harden into an unsightly, pastel rock!! {you are welcome!} xo
My label tents were made by using strips of gold and red with white stripes scrap book paper, chalkboard stickers, lollipop sticks, washi tape and little red puffs~ super easy project that I'll share at a later date (make sure you're following me on Instagram at frprince!!)
Ice cream scoops with rainbow jimmies (I'm from Philly, we call them jimmies). I always use these cute, wooden spoons for parties. It's fun to stamp words, names, really anything on. These are from The TomKat Studio, provided by Paper and Pop.
Confetti balloons~ yes please, my favorite!!!
These balloons are from Oriental Trading.
The girls had a beautiful day to clown around outside. They played charades, attempted to juggle and made balloon (I'd like to say animals but will go with balloon "shapes").
I covered my coffee table with craft paper from the dollar store to protect it from the jugglers' shenanagins (not really, this was a great group of girls!!) and added the prettiest, custom ribbon garland by a to Zebra celebrations. The colorful ribbon really dressed it up!
I was super excited when I found these confetti filled balls. After the party the girls took their bouncy balls home to continue practicing their new juggling skills.
The highlight of the day was the photobooth by Race Street Photobooth, an amazing local company. And yes I got in the booth too, they are so much fun!! I love this photo of Kati and her friends, Julia and Lidia!! <3 p="">
Greyson Design made these custom, confetti water bottle labels and...
How jealous are you of these vintage bowling pins?!! Yeah me too, they're not mine...they actually belong to Denise of The Painted Home. She's a very cool, local blogger who sells some of her unique finds and creations in a local shop in town.
You can find these red paper tissue balls and popcorn containers at Oriental trading.
Here's the Birthday girl in her beautiful tutu handmade by Atutudes. She loved this tutu so much that she planned her Halloween costume around it...(she and her friend were Thing 1 and Thing 2).
No, THIS cotton candy isn't real. I made it as an un-meltable prop using batting and pink spray paint (see, I am crafty!!)
THANK YOU for stopping by!!! Here's one of the party favors, cute roll-on perfume by Moodylicious children's spa
Birthdays ROCK!!!

text: Now I have this application (so do many) SHAZAM. SHAZAM does a great job in finding artist, album art, album name etc. A few days back I was tagging my itunes library manually with the help of SHAZAM. I would play a song and hold my iPhone closer to the PC and get the song details and put into the iTunes library. Now my question here, as you might have understood by now, is it possible for SHAZAM to create a PC/MAC tool that will browse all your iTunes library, play songs one by one for 10/12 seconds, find out the song details and auto update that info in your iTunes library. This really sound cool and doable. Just wondering if there is any tool available to something like this OR (Paid) SHAZAM already does that. Let me know.

Just pick a place and I'll be there
Pick anything, that's what I'll be
Give me anything to say
Even if it's nothing
That's all you'll hear
Everything was never enough for you
Do you ever say my name?
Or do you ever write down broken thoughts and turn them into songs to throw away?
Do you ever close your eyes and wish they'll never open again?
I do
It's always worse in silence
No lies to tell
No one to hear
When air turns cold we sleep alone
Every time I try to say your name
It's always worse on nights like this
And every night is just like this
How many times have you closed your eyes and wished just to be happy?
Every night ends just like this for me, because we'll never be
We will never be

The Most Crippling Computer Hacks and Viruses of All-Time
Hackers have long wreaked havoc on both people and businesses of all sizes.
Despite an entire industry devoted to anti-virus protection, computer hacks and viruses have an enormous economic impact each year – McAfee reported in 2010 that the cost of work time lost amounted to $6.3 million per day for corporations.
The following computer hacks and viruses highlight the importance of having a backup strategy. Zetta Data Protection features enterprise-grade security for your small or medium-sized business, including SSAE-16 certified service, user and group level access control, and 24/7/365 monitoring by Zetta data protection specialists.
1. Morris Worm (1988)
The very first Internet worm was written by Robert Tappan Morris, a 23-year-old student at Cornell University.
Here's the kicker: The worm wasn't designed to cause damage and was actually part of a research project. However, the Morris Worm was programmed to self-replicate. As CNET points out, the Internet of 1988 was a closed system meant for research at universities and in the military. Still, the virus eventually hit some 6,000 computers. In the end, Morris was fined and sentenced to perform community service.
2. Storm Worm (2007)
This particular virus was incredibly nasty.
The Storm Worm would be contained in emails, but the subject lines of these emails would change over time to reflect current events. For instance, as this HowStuffWorks article points out, the email line was changed just before the 2008 Beijing Olympics to read "a new deadly catastrophe in China." Once the executable file (claiming to be a video) attached to the email was running, even more malware would be installed so that the infected computer could be remotely-controlled along with many other PCs in the same network.
3. PlayStation Network (2011)
For gamers, the PlayStation Network outage of 2011 won't be forgotten for a very long time. Some of the statistics are absolutely astounding:
• The personal information of 77 million accounts compromised
• An estimated cost of $24 billion
• Network outage of 24 days
The hack took place between April 17 and April 19, 2011. Users had trouble signing into the network, and after investigating the problem Sony was forced to turn the network off for 24 days. Even when the network was offline, some games were unplayable and streaming video apps like Hulu and Netflix were unusable. A study by the data-security research firm Ponemon Institute showed that the outage could end up costing Sony some $24 billion.

Russia has set itself the goal of trying to rid itself of pirate sites. OK, maybe they'll settle for just limiting them. That seems a very ambitious goal when you consider that Russia and the former Soviet republics have become the Wild West of nefarious online exploits.
Alexander Akopov, the head of Russia's Russia's film and television producers' association has said that the existing laws will be toughened up by the end of the year. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Akopov as saying, "The idea is that the concepts of 'blatant violation' and 'repeated violation' are to be introduced, which would lead to immediately shutting down [pirate] web sites."
Content rights owners are divided on how much of the responsibility for piracy, but are agreed that search engines should be tasked with playing more of an active role. Akipov said that the search engines were the "main pirates in the world."
As an example of the success of the 2013 restrictions, regulators point to the success of removing last year's hit "Stalingrad" from several pirate sites. That's a promising start, but the real test will be whether Russian authorities will be as proactive in dealing with complaints lodged by non-Russian producers.
Some of the blame for piracy was put squarely on the Russian public. Russian film producer Sergei Selyanov derided many of the arguments used by pirate viewers as "childlike." Akopov argued that Russians should stop "pretending that we are a poor country." The comments were made during a forum at the St. Petersburg International Media Forum.

|Grade AA, Traditional thyme, Undiluted
|Industry Knowledge
Za'atar is originally the name given to a variety of Wild Thyme grown around the middle east and parts of Europe. This wild thyme is also the essential ingredient to make traditional Za'atar. However, in recent years, the production of wild thyme has not been enough to meet demand, and the herb has become a very rare commodity. As a result, most spice manufacturers and cooks of the spice blend Zaatar substitute wild thyme for a blend of herbs such as Marjoram, Oregano, Thyme and Basil. These imitate the flavour to some extent, but pale in comparison to the traditional recipe which we are providing here at Regency, made with Za'atar growing alongside the mediterranean sea.
As with all spice blends, it's important to note that many manufacturers also dilute and add colour to their Za'atar using ingredients such as wheat flour to fill up weight, but add zero taste! Our Zaatar is pure herbs and spices to give that true authentic feel of being in the Arabian Peninsula and enjoying it like a local!

text: Search for Human Remains Among 9/11 Debris Resumes New York City medical examiner begins 10-week effort By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Apr 1, 2013 12:57 PM CDT 67 comments Comments In this Nov. 5, 2001 file photo workers continue to remove debris in the rubble of the remains of the World Trade Center at ground zero. (AP Photo/ Louis Lanzano, File) (Newser) – The task of sifting through construction debris from the World Trade Center site in an effort to find any human remains from the 9/11 terrorist attacks resumed today, says the New York City medical examiner. Such sifting last occurred in 2010, and the latest work is expected to continue for about 10 weeks, reports the AP. Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said in a memo Friday that DNA testing will continue until every possible identification can be made. As the New York Post explains, 15,781 cubic yards of debris have been previously sifted through; what's under review now is another 590 cubic yards, mostly recovered from the south end of the World Trade Center. (The AP notes that about 60 truckloads of construction debris have been collected around the site over the past two and a half years.) WNYC reports that the debris in question is being housed in a designated area in Staten Island's Fresh Kills Landfill.

Detentions of activists of Belarusian Christian Democracy
The Minsk police keep detaining the activists of the Belarusian Christian Democracy who are collecting signatures for returning St. Joseph's church to believers.
On 9 September, Liubou Kemeneva and Anton Trafimchuk were detained in Nezalezhnastsi Square. The detainees were guarded to the Maskouski District Police Department, where they were photographed and fingerprinted. The signatures blanks were confiscated from them.
The day before, Yauhen Korsak, Pavel Seviarynets and Siarhei Vasilyeu were detained near the St. Symon and Alena Church in Nezalezhnastsi Square, for the same activity.
In the beginning of September BCD intends to pass the collected signatures to the Presidential Administration, the state enterprise Minskaya Spadchyna (Minsk Heritage) which 'reconstructs' the church, foreign embassies and Vatican.
The party intends to start an everyday picketing near the church and a wide solidarity campaign.
Bear in mind that according to the present reconstruction plan the building of the church is meant to be reconstruction into a hotel complex, shops, etc.

Whatever Happened to the Girl on the Motorbike? British Women and Motorcycling, 1919 to 1939
One persistent myth about the motorcycle has been the widespread and long-standing belief that it is a "man's machine" and therefore unsuitable for women. This was certainly the case in Britain where, from nearly the beginning, only a small proportion of women were active motorcyclists. While women, more so in Continental Europe than Britain, have taken to scooters and mopeds in some numbers, especially since the 1950s, until fairly recently a woman riding a larger size motorcycle was a rare sight (Hebdige 84-85).[1]
However, during the 1920s, British motorcycle manufacturers launched a concerted campaign designed to increase sales by trying to attract more women and so expand their market. This article describes the campaign and shows how it was subverted by widespread social pre-conceptions, both in and outside the industry, about gender. Those pre-conceptions actively worked against the aim of winning over greater numbers of female motorcycle customers and would play a significant role in the ultimate collapse of the British motorcycle industry during the early 1970s.
In fact, British motorcycle manufacturers had already shown interest in women years earlier when so-called "Ladies Motor Bicycles" had appeared before the First World War, albeit in very limited numbers.[2] However, a more aggressive marketing campaign only really developed after 1918. This was because, by the mid-1920s, overall sales had started to falter. After a brief boom in the immediate aftermath of the war, both sales and road registrations (the index of motorcycles actually on the road) had continued to climb but at a far slower pace than expected.
Manufacturers were especially worried about the rapidly deteriorating position of motorcycles relative to their automotive competitors. In 1920, there were 100,000 more motorcycles registered on British roads than automobiles. As late as 1924 there were still more two-wheeled than four-wheeled vehicles in use, but soon afterwards automobiles had pulled ahead.[3] By 1927, the year the Austin Motor Co. had introduced its best selling model "Seven" economy car, automobiles were clearly dominant as Britain's choice for personal motor transport and have remained so ever since.[4]
This crisis forced the British motorcycle industry to explore other ways of reviving sales. One was to open up new overseas markets and increase exports, particularly within the Empire but also throughout Europe and Asia.[5] Another was to create new motorcycle designs, especially in the "lightweight" category (the up-to-250cc engine displacement class), which were smaller and cheaper than the larger machines (mostly in the 350cc and 500cc classes) that were the industry's mainstay.
The second strategy implied an effort to attract women, a relatively small segment of Britain's motorcycling public, but one the manufacturers hoped might grow if presented with a range of appealing new products. However, as they would discover, it was also an inherently dangerous strategy, one that brought out internal divisions within the industry and also antagonized much of its established male customer base.
One of the earlier attempts to try to bring women into the market was taken by several aviation firms, who had no previous experience in motorcycle production, but wanted to use their excess plant capacity created at the end of the war. These companies produced unusual products that fell half way between the traditional motorcycle and an automobile. One of them, the "Ner-a-Car," was created to appeal to would-be car buyers by incorporating many features that its manufacturer, Sheffield-Simplex, believed were missing from standard motorcycle models.
Consequently, this vehicle had a small engine with an automobile-like chassis combined with bodywork that would provide protection against inclement weather and road dirt. The Sheffield-Simplex company hoped the "Ner-a-Car" would attract those who did not want a full- sized motorcar but were reluctant to buy a motorcycle. The company especially hoped to find a market among women and this was reflected in how they were depicted in the advertising it used (Vanderveen 33).
However, it was the scooter that had been built with women specifically in mind. Scooter advertising portrayed women using them not only for leisure purposes but also to help in various activities such as shopping. By and large, because of the purchase cost and running expenses of these vehicles, most of the women who bought them were fairly affluent. Adventurous working class women would likely have had to make do with a bicycle or to enjoy motorcycling vicariously as spectators at sports and competition events.
Soon afterwards many of the more traditional motorcycle manufacturers began to produce a new type of machine that, albeit unlike either the scooters or "Ner-a Car," still followed more orthodox design. A reporter from The Daily Mirror, who had attended the 1921 Motor Cycle Show at the Olympia exhibition hall, favourably commented on a new range of lightweight models built specifically for women. These were, he enthused, "the daintiest and prettiest little vehicles imaginable ... perfectly adapted for shopping excursions as for long runs in the country and to the sea" (Barron).
The motorcycle press also joined the campaign to encourage more women to take up two-wheeled motor transport. Both The Motor Cycle and the Motor Cyclist Review, two well known enthusiasts' magazines, appointed women to write articles designed for a female readership. Mabel Lockwood-Tatham, for example, wrote a column entitled "Through Feminine Goggles" in the former publication, while the latter carried "Entirely for Eve," authored by "Cylinda." These articles were filled with practical advice about motorcycling apparel and suggestions about the model of motorcycle most suitable for aspiring women motorcyclists. Other columns and features contained information about motorcycle maintenance, touring and holiday destinations.
One such column was written by twin sisters Betty and Nancy Debenham, both ardent motorcycle enthusiasts who were also active in sporting activities such as trials events. They promoted the benefits of motorcycling as a suitable leisure activity for young women and one that was also consistent with prevailing social concepts of femininity:
Motor-cycling is an ideal hobby for the tired business girl. She can seek health and pleasure during her precious week-ends by exploring the countryside and the seaside. She can gather her violets and primroses from the woods instead of buying them in jaded twopenny bunches, and her whole week-end's holiday need only cost her the price of her return fare to Brighton. (Debenham, "Health")
Not long afterwards, the Debenham sisters addressed the issue of physical strength, or rather the lack of it, which was thought to be one of the main reasons so few women bought and rode motorcycles. Remarking how difficult it was to kick-start a motor bike, they claimed that the new motorcycles were now designed to ensure that virtually any woman could easily use them. Earlier, they conceded,
… the motor cycle was something for young giants to urge into pulsating life, but that was many years ago. Today there are wonderful little machines which start with the very first kick and with most precocious appetites for roadfaring. (Debenham, "Beauty")
Manufacturers also used other strategies designed to drum up greater sales among women. In 1923, for example, they planned a "rally for lady motor cyclists," and at least two firms pointedly used women, instead of men, to publicize their machines. In once such instance, Dunelt, a smaller Birmingham-based company, arranged for a young German woman, Suzanne Koerner (no relation to the author), to ride one of its lightweight models from Berlin to its Midlands factory during the winter of 1927. In another, bicycle maker Raleigh, which was still manufacturing motorcycles during the 1920s, provided a lightweight machine to Marjorie Cottle, a leading motorcycle sports rider and then probably Britain's best known female motorcyclist, to use on a well-publicized 1,400 mile journey around the country.
One retailer's journal, The Garage and Motor Agent, was particularly enthusiastic about Miss Cottle's promotional activities on behalf of the motorcycle industry. She was, it declared, "undoubtedly one of the trade's most useful propagandists." Not only did she demonstrate that physical strength was not crucial for operating a motorcycle but this magazine was especially impressed with "the fact that Miss Cottle always manages to look nice when engaged in her exploits, and not the least like a professional motor cyclist." In that way she "produces the best possible impression on the public" (Jones 532).
British motorcycle manufacturers also encouraged women to participate in various motorcycle sports activities. This had been a well-tried and successful method for promoting sales amongst men, and no doubt they believed such a strategy could succeed with women as well.
Indeed, in 1926, the industry's trade association went so far as to honour a number of popular female competitions riders at a special banquet it sponsored during the annual London motorcycle show. Press releases announcing the event were sent to The Nursing Times, Home Notes and Women's Weekly, magazines not normally associated with either motorcycles or motorcyclists. These publications were invited to send reporters to give the event the fullest possible exposure to a female audience.
Reaction of the banquet guests was positive about the future for women and motorcycling. One of them, for example, Miss Margaret Bedington, a district nurse and a prominent private rider on the trials and competitions circuit, was quoted by the Daily Sketch as saying that she hoped "to see the day when every girl—and especially every nurse—will be a motor cyclist" ("The Woman Rider").
Yet, despite the publicity this and other such events received, the campaign to increase sales of motorcycles to women still ended in failure. By the end of the decade, an official of the manufacturers' trade association had to admit that only a paltry 25,000 of Britain's estimated 700,000 motorcyclists were female.
So why did so few women respond to the manufacturers' marketing campaign? For the most part, it was likely the result of a general prejudice against the practice of women riding motorcycles because it was thought to be unfeminine, or simply outside of what was then considered the bounds of proper "ladylike behavior." In fact, dedicated motorcyclists such as Marjorie Cottle were well aware of such attitudes and tried to counter them by advocating what they thought were the positive aspects of motorcycling for British women. For example, in an article which appeared in a 1928 edition of the Evening Standard, Cottle confided that:
Once, not so very long ago, the woman motor-cyclist was regarded as something of a crank or a freak. Times have changed, and motor-cycling as a sport is becoming more and more popular with women. It has been conclusively proved that motor-cycling is not harmful to women.[6]
Cottle then went on to explain why motorcycle riding was good for women but used language more in tune with contemporary understandings of "femininity":
Girls will find that motor-cycling brings health. It will give them honest, fresh-air complexions. It will make them hardy and strong, and although the powder puff is not a part of the girl motor-cyclist's make-up it can always be hidden away for use when occasion demands it. (Cottle)
But for others the situation was more complicated. In one case, a male columnist in a northern newspaper, responding to some irate members of the Yorkshire Ladies' Motor-Cycling Club, who had objected to his characterization of them as "Amazons," was forced to admit he may have been at least partially wrong about these women:
While the motor cycle does give the Amazonian type of female in this modern age a healthy means of self-expression (as the psychologist would say), [it also saves] her from such abnormal means of self-expression as the Charleston and the cocktail. . . . ("Not All Amazons")
Nonetheless, these prejudices created a defensive attitude among even some of the most die-hard female enthusiasts. As Mable Lockwood-Tatham explained in the pages of The Motor Cycle:
It seems that the fact of a girl being a rider of a motor cycle immediately labels her as being "mannish"—admittedly an unpleasant characteristic—uninterested in frocks and frills, careless of home life, and devoid of any desire for women friends. (Lockwood-Tatham 472-73)
Illustrative of this attitude was a feature that appeared in a 1921 issue of the London Evening News, which made an unflattering reference to a "flapper with the dentifrice smile, errant pigtail ... who perches precariously sideways on a jazz cushion [pillion seat]" (Brittain). These views likely provided at least a partial basis for the outright discrimination practiced against women motorcyclists and which prevented many of them from participating in various activities, especially motorcycle sports events.
For example, only a few months before being honoured for her many competition victories, Marjorie Cottle was banned from participating in a racing event for no other reason than her gender ("Wayfarer"). The ban was implemented even though many thought Cottle was an excellent rider. At a race at the Scott Trial, for example, The Motor Cycle noted that she had successfully finished the grueling course "while burly men had given up from sheer exhaustion" ("My Lady").
Cottle's exclusion from these sports events was not an isolated instance as the careers of other successful female British motorcyclists such as Theresa Wallach, Florence Blenkiron, Faye Taylour and Jessie Innis suggest.[7] Consequently, judging at least from coverage in the motorcycle press, women seemed to have largely dropped out of most competition events by the early 1930s.
Indeed, open discrimination against women being associated with motorcycles extended far beyond British roads and race-tracks. In the late 1930s, for example, a leading manufacturer, Norton Motors, publicly declared that it would not employ women in its Birmingham factory because to do so would, the company believed, compromise existing standards of craftsmanship. Whatever the validity of such claims, it is also true that when a group of senior executives of the British motorcycle industry held a special meeting in 1935 to discuss the general decline in sales and usage, they expressed puzzlement and dismay about the low numbers of women riding motorcycles either in sporting events or anywhere else. Yet no one present had any suggestion about what to do about it.[8]
So how to explain the hostility expressed by so many men towards female motorcyclists? As Sean O'Connell has written with respect to women and the automobile, the motorcycle had appeared in Britain at roughly the same time as the controversy about the role of women in society, particularly over issues like suffrage and access to higher education, had intensified (43-46). The image of a woman riding a motorcycle, in much the same way or perhaps even more than one driving an automobile, became a highly visible symbol of potential equality and therefore a threat to existing gender relations.[9]
Such attitudes made it nearly impossible for the British motorcycle industry to construct a sales campaign based on the premise of attracting more female customers. At the heart of the problem was the fact that the industry itself suffered from deep internal divisions over the prospect of a market containing more women. Owing to the long-standing emphasis on racing and the glorification of power and speed, so well exemplified by the Isle of Man TT races, the industry had created an aura of masculinity around the motorcycle, especially of risk and danger, one acknowledged, if not always admired, by enthusiast and non-enthusiast alike.
In the end, the divisions arose because the campaign to increase the numbers of female motorcyclists also had the potential to undermine that very same aura of masculinity so important in maintaining existing sales amongst traditional male motorcyclists. The result was to put one part of the industry working at cross-purposes with the other. This prevented any sort of coherent sales campaign from emerging.
Despite these widespread attitudes, women have remained active in the motorcycle scene right up to the present day, although in far fewer, albeit increasing, numbers than men. During the Second World War, many women worked as dispatch riders in, among other places, Britain, Canada and the USA. Moreover, during the war years, numerous female workers were employed on factory assembly lines, including those at Norton Motors, without any evident deterioration of quality control.
As for the British motorcycle industry, the failure of its campaign to increase the number of female motorcyclists during the 1920s was to have long-term and highly detrimental implications. It meant that the manufacturers became increasingly committed to a policy of building comparatively limited numbers of mostly large displacement motorcycles for a market composed nearly exclusively of male enthusiasts. This strategy worked well on the short term but also meant British motorcycle makers would be caught flat-footed by their Italian and German rivals during the scooter and moped sales boom of the 1950s. Far worse it put them at a serious disadvantage during the 1960s when they encountered devastating competition from Japanese manufacturers. Unlike the British, these foreign competitors had built up huge economies of scale by selling smaller mopeds, scooters and light-weight motorcycles to markets that contained significant numbers of women.[10]
Consequently, failure to come to terms with the concept of the female motorcyclist in the 1920s or, more to the point, the enduring myth of the incompatibility of women and motorcycles, would become a significant factor in the collapse of the British industry over forty years later.
This article excerpted from Chapter One of an upcoming book, The Strange Death of the British Motor Cycle Industry. Thanks to Crucible Press for allowing it to appear here. The main points raised by this article originally appeared in a paper presented by the author to a seminar organized by the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Saitama University, Urawa City, Japan in June 1999, held during the course of a Post-Doctoral Fellowship sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Subsequently, further versions were presented at the annual meeting of the Economic History Society held in Bristol England in April 2000 and at the SW/TX Popular Culture Association (PCA) annual meeting held in Albuquerque New Mexico, February 2002. My thanks for the many helpful comments I received from participants at these events. I would also like to thank Kim Brittenham, Sean O'Connell, Jill Greenfield and Margaret Walsh, as well as Steven Alford, Susan Buck and Gary Kieffner for their many helpful suggestions. However, as always, any errors or omissions are entirely the author's responsibility.
1 Since the 1960s scooter and moped use throughout Asia has exploded and a good proportion of riders have been women.
2 See examples of these models contained in the "Buyers' Guide" which was included in the 20 November 1913 edition of the enthusiasts' journal The Motor Cycle.
3 In 1920 there were 287,739 motorcycles registered for the road, compared to 186,801 automobiles; by 1924 the figures were 495,579 motorcycles and 482,356 automobiles; by 1927 the figures were 681,410 motorcycles and 800,112 automobiles. Figures are drawn from the British Motor Cycle and Cycle Manufacturers and Traders' Union, Review of the British Cycle and Motor Cycle Industry (Coventry, 1935), and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, The Motor Industry of Great Britain, 1939.
4 For background on the state of the industry at this time, see Koerner.
5 British motor cycle exports to North America, which would become a key market after 1945, were negligible during the 1920s and 1930s.
6 The final sentence of the quote probably alludes to the widespread belief at the time that certain types of strenuous physical activities might damage a woman's reproductive organs. The author would like to thank Barbara Joans and Jeanne Zasadil, who raised this point during the 16 February 2002 "Motorcycle Culture and Myth" session of the 2002 SW/TX PCA conference.
7 Similar exclusionary practices were evidently also employed against female motorcyclists in North America then and later on as well. See, for example, Ferrar and Joans, particularly pp. 63-65 as well as Chapters Six and Seven.
8 See meeting minutes for the Motor Cycle Manufacturers' Section of the British Cycle and Motor Cycle Manufacturers and Traders' Union, held on 9 July 1935, contained in MRC MSS 204/1/1/12.
9 For the situation in the USA, see Scharff, especially p. 26.
10 It is also true, however, that during the time in question the larger German and Japanese motorcycles, unlike the mopeds and scooters, were used almost entirely by male riders.

"The Hunger Games" has found its Cressida in "Game of Thrones" actress Natalie Dormer.
The 31-year-old English actress has been cast in the two-part feature adaptation of the final installment in Suzanne Collins bestselling trilogy of books, "Mockingjay." She'll play a filmmaker who follows the heroic Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), attempting to document her efforts to overthrow the sinister Capitol government.
Dormer had a small role in "Captain America: The First Avenger," but she's arguably best known to genre audiences for her performance on HBO's lavish fantasy "Game of Thrones," in which she plays Margaery Tyrell, the savvy bride-to-be of the ruthless King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson).
PHOTOS: Katniss and Peeta in 'Catching Fire' posters
D.B. Weiss, who created "Game of Thrones" with fellow show runner David Benioff, said Dormer was such a strong actress they opted to expand Margaery's role in the narrative from what initially appeared in the George R.R. Martin novels that inspired the series.
"Margaery has a very ancillary role in the books," Weiss told Hero Complex earlier this year. "Then we cast Natalie, and we realized immediately that we couldn't keep it that way. You can't have that big an acting asset and leave it in the background, so you clear out space in the story to make room for her as a fully fledged character.
Dormer was also featured in Showtime's period drama "The Tudors."
The next cinematic chapter in the "Hunger Games" saga, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," reaches theaters Nov. 22, and star Lawrence, speaking last month at San Diego's Comic-Con International, said the movie finds Katniss grappling with how to return to her normal life in the wake of her victory in the first film.
"She's struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder after the games while living in Victor's Village, where she never wants for food, and feels useless. She's adapting to a new life," Lawrence said.
Director Francis Lawrence (no relation) is set to direct "Catching Fire," and both "Mockingjay" installments.

If you have to help end users over the phone, you've probably dealt with a user who simply had no idea how to explain what was wrong with a computer. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will include a new utility that lets a user record what's going on.
In his blog today (or, as he calls it, "blahg"), Microsoft IT Pro Evangelist Keith Combs showed off the tool. Check out the entry for a screencast of Problem Steps Recorder in action. It looks like Problem Steps Recorder should be easy even for technophobe end users. Just tell a user to hit the start button, type psr, hit enter, then click record and demonstrate the problem.
Problem Steps Recorder doesn't take a video of the user's screen. Instead, it creates a .zip file containing an HTML file with pictures and a text description of what the user did. Pictures might be a bit harder to decipher than full video, but they should also be much smaller, making it easier for users to send the .zip file to an IT pro as an email attachment.Related Reading:

BBC's Radio 1 premiered another new Fleet Foxes song set to appear on their forthcoming album Helplessness Blues. It's not quite the warm, sprawling title track released a month ago, but further establishes that Helplessness Blues will be more of the same good old folk that made everyone fall in love with their debut album. I'm usually one to criticize a stagnant sound, but personally, I'll never tire of Robin Pecknold's voice.

The Perfect Setup - SuSE 10.1 (32-bit) - Page 4
2 Adding Installation Sources
To make package installation easier, I will add a network installation source. If you want to install all packages from CD / DVD, you can skip this step. Start yast2:
Go to Software -> Installation Source:
Select Add and enter a mirror near you. You can find a list of mirrors here: http://www.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Development_Build.
I selected this http mirror ( yes, it is an http mirror even though the URL starts with ftp :-) ):
As Server Name, I enter ftp.uni-erlangen.de, and as Directory on Server I fill in /pub/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source:
Finally I move my new installation source to the top of the list so that it will be the preferred location to fetch software packages from. At the same time I delete my SuSE CDs from the list (normally it would be enough to move the CDs down the list, but YaST seems to be buggy - whenever I moved the CDs down, they were back at the top when I entered YaST the next time...).
Hit Finish afterwards. You have to be patient now, in my tests it took about ten minutes(!) until YaST updated the installation sources. During that period, it seems as if YaST was hanging, but in fact it is working. You can check that in a second shell windows with the command
tail -f /var/log/YaST2/y2log
I don't know what the SuSE developers did to YaST, but it's a change for the worse for sure...
3 Install Some Software
Now we install a few packages that are needed later on. Run
yast -i findutils readline libgcc glibc-devel findutils-locate gcc flex lynx compat-readline4 db-devel wget gcc-c++
If you're on a 64-bit system (only then!), you must also install openssl-devel-32bit:
yast -i openssl-devel-32bit
4 Quota
To install quota, run
yast -i quota
Edit /etc/fstab to look like this (I added ,usrquota,grpquota to partition /dev/sda3 (mount point /; your device name might be /dev/hda2 or similar):
vi /etc/fstab
/dev/sda3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
Then run:
touch /aquota.user /aquota.group
chmod 600 /aquota.*
and reboot the system:
shutdown -r now
After the system has come up again, enable quota like this:
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug
5 DNS Server
yast -i bind bind-chrootenv bind-devel bind-utils
Then we add the system startup links for BIND and start it:
chkconfig --add named
/etc/init.d/named start
Bind will run in a chroot jail under /var/lib/named.

Hi Falko,
Great howto once again.
But it seems that Yast on SuSE 10.1 version does indeed check every package before installation and therefore it takes longer (MD5 SUMS and all).
It is something good for Yast installations. (I have seen this in the opensuse pages ... somewhere ... )
About the partition, why don't you propose some other type of partition of the disk. Like a separate /var (for database and the like.)
Hi...im a slack user...and a slack fan...i've been testinga a few distributions...and i did not like anyone...except Suse...and i think that u made a really great job here!!!! I'll try today!
I was very excited to try out Suse. The live CD I played around with detected more hardware and was a joy to work with. I've tried installing suse twice now, once by just installing everything and once with this howto. Both times Yast died when trying to add mirrors. The first time I just thought yast was locking up. On top of that, adding a mirror is unintuitive to someone who isn't familiar with the system. This time, I read the author's comments on the 10 minute wait. Okay, I said, I'll wait this time. I waited for 8 hours. I left the setup running in the morning and when I came home from work it was still at the same screen. So that's it, no three strikes and you are out. I'm done after two attempts. I'm going back to Redhat and yum. Thanks to the author for this howto.

Chloe made the Battle of the Books team for k-3rd!! YooHoo! According to her teacher, she's the first kindergartener to ever even attempt the tryout test, much less make the team!! She had 15 books that she read and then they had a test with questions from the books.
The team is kind of like quiz bowl (I think)--all the questions will be about the books. Below is the list of books she had to read for it. She's quite the little reader!! (I did not read them to her, she read them all by herself--but I did discuss them with her and asked her some questions. I was quite impressed with her comprehension and retention of what she had read!!)

Adhering to a regular vaccination schedule is a good way to protect your pet from certain diseases. We provide basic information on vaccinations here, but it's best to get advice from one of the vets in our Santa Cruz veterinary clinic as each pet is unique and requires a unique vaccination plan.

Conversations ... with Greats, Grands, and even myself
In chronological reverse order with most recent starting today!
3 1/2 year-old Squeaker
Squeaker: Mom, will you hand me the remote?
Mom: It's sitting right next to you on the couch.
Squeaker, following hysterical laughter: Mama! I tricked myself.
Great Auntie Fern, who will be 107 in April.
The past year she is often lost in time. Occasionally her true self and humor will pop out when you least expect it.
Yesterday at her medical check-up the Doctor determined that one ear needed to be flushed of the excess wax build up. She had had some moments of clarity but was mostly unable to hear what was being said and was generally confused about where she was and what was happening..
As though waking suddenly, she turned and looked at the Doctor with her one eye and chortled, "Oh MY!" .
Fern gestured at the little bucket the nurse held under her ear and exclaimed with delight,
" Looks like soup for supper"
Fern then lead the laughter ................
8-year old Dinkum:
Last Monday I picked up Dinkum from school along with his 10 year old brother Zbub. Mizelle was home with mom and a stomach bug.
We came around the corner and a car was stopped allowing an elderly man to exit and pile his sacks of groceries on the grassy strip next to the sidewalk, which still has some compact ice on it.
Grandma: Awww... they should have helped him carry in his groceries
Dinkum: Let's do it
Dinkum: Let's do it
Grandma stops car and boys hop out. The man has already taken a couple sacks and disappeared behind an open gate. The boys grab the remaining sacks and run them back there. It takes quite a while for the boys to come back. When they finally returned I found out that the old man forgot his keys and they were trying to help him.
Each boy had received from him a fresh banana.
Now they had both had already in the car an asian pear and a nutbar as a snack. So I reminded them that doing a good deed can also include just saying you're welcome and no thank you .
Zbub: Well, I would have, but, I didn't understand what he was saying. He had an accent. I think it was British.
Dinkum picks up the banana and eyes it suspiciously: This better not be a British Banana
Almost 19 year old red-headed girl just before Christmas:
She's works as a hostess at a diner. She told us a story about a man who passed out and then refused to go in the ambulance.
Red-headed girl: "He was really old. He was probably in his sixties"
Grandma;s one eyebrow raises and she thinks to herself ... hmmmm... coal in HER stocking!
11-year old Curlymop
Just before Christmas during a breakfast conversation.
Grandpa: I yam what I yam. Heh heh... you know who said that.
Daughter: Oh yeah... that old cartoon character
Grandpa: Popeye
Curlymop: Was he that guy that ate parsley?
Daughter: Oh yeah... that old cartoon character
Grandpa: Popeye
Curlymop: Was he that guy that ate parsley?
10-year old Zbub
Grandpa, Grandma, 10 year old Zbub, 8 year old Dinkum, and 6 year old Mizele go to see The Good Dinosaur in 3-D.
Two thirds of the way through the movie:
Dinkum: I can't see anything. Everything is blurry.
Z-bub: Hummm... (reaches over, grabs the 3-D glasses off Dinkum and wipes off the lens) Silly! You were all fogged up!
Two thirds of the way through the movie:
Dinkum: I can't see anything. Everything is blurry.
Z-bub: Hummm... (reaches over, grabs the 3-D glasses off Dinkum and wipes off the lens) Silly! You were all fogged up!
3 1/2 year old Squeaker
Mom: You want some breakfast?
Squeaker: Yes, please.
Mom: Can I take your picture first?
Squeaker: SURE! But you have to give it to Gwamma.
Squeaker: Yes, please.
Mom: Can I take your picture first?
Squeaker: SURE! But you have to give it to Gwamma.
3 1/2 year old Squeaker
Squeakers has asthma and sometimes it gets pretty scary.
At the most recent visit the Doctor was quite concerned at how quickly little Squeakers symptoms had increased. He left the room to go after the nurse and additional treatment.
Squeakers: Who is that? Dr Doom?
After that same visit and they were released to go home he had this to say
Squeakers: Mama, I have boogers. But I don't have the "boo." I just have the "gers," because the boo is gwoss.".
Pamela: Oh Hon! Great News! The sauerkraut label says there are only 220m of sodium per serving!
Hon: Really? That is hard to believe.
A few moments go by as I continue to read the label
" well scratch that hon, a serving size is a whopping 2 Tablespoons."

Suspect flees traffic stop

911 dispatch said officers were making a traffic stop near 72nd and Grover streets around 12:20 a.m. when the suspect took off on foot.
The suspect's vehicle caused minor damage to a fence.

The Final Testament of the Holy Bible, James Frey
Firstly – an apology.
I have quite literally been jetsetting the past few weeks. I am not the sort of trendy jet-setter with a laptop typing away in transit, as I am always reading, and as such there have been no blogs, but lots of reading (and desperate, but ultimately failed attempts at tanning).
First of all I started – and finished – my first James Frey novel, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible. I have always been a huge fan of books concerned with religion (which makes me realize I still have not posted my Top Ten Fiction Featuring the Devil – coming soon! I promise! It is written – it is just very long). I loved The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullman, and The Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis, and so forth (and actually even contemplated studying religion after finish school). I also love, love, love anything that gives society a good whack across the head. Not just defying convention (like postmoderism, modernism, Tristram Shandy, Damien Hirst bla bla bla) but actively saying "Hey! Society! A lot of things suck about you! Let's change them!". I also love things that have gay activism in them. As such, it should come as no surprise that I jumped at Frey's book immediately when I was sent the following description of the book:
What would you do if you discovered the Messiah were alive today? Living in New York. Sleeping with men. Impregnating young women. Euthanizing the dying, and healing the sick. Defying the government, and condemning the holy. What would you do if you met him? And he changed your life. Would you believe? Would you?
And guess what. This book wasn't just good. It was completely, all-absorbingly, compulsively pageturningly amazing. True story:
I sat opposite a colleague on the tube for half my journey home without seeing her, and she didn't even want to interrupt me because I was, apparently so completely absorbed in my book as to be oblivious to everything else.
The short pitch above pretty much sums up the book. I can include that it is written in several different narratives, with each section being told by someone whose life Ben (i.e. the Messiah) touched, in some way or other. Some sections are told by Mariaangeles – a young, impoverished single mother in a particularly poor district in Brooklyn, one is told by a Catholic Priest whose entire life was shaken upside down after the meeting. All the narratives each tell a strong story, as well as tying together a narrative of questioning basically everything established in society, but firstly and foremostly what influences religion has in the world.
What is striking is that Frey proposes no utopia, no different world, no changing of the past – simply the act of embracing the present for absolutely all it is worth. This novel questions a lot of "truths", and practices, frequently in a way that, to me, is obvious. But I certainly could not have phrased it so beautifully. (But then James Frey himself is slightly beautiful as well:)
If I do have one (completely forgot the word for objection – was so absorbed in Peter Andre on ITV – he went on a date with a belly dancer! Called Nelly!) (see what I did there? Lightening the mood with a bit of high/low contrast) (though not sure James Frey qualifies as high)(unless we are talking about the kind of high you get from illegal substances, in which case he definitely does, more on on that in a different post when I review A Million Little Pieces) ( brackets over) objection it is that Frey perhaps goes too much in extremes in the messages Ben gets from "God". For a specifically undidactic, undogmatic nonreligious religion, Bens "rants" are remarkably anti-everything and extremist.
I have no problem with most of the things he says, but sometimes, even for someone who considers herself pretty pro-liberalism, pro-gay, anti-traditionalism and religious extremism, it feels a bit like someone who is venting his personal issues more than writing a balanced and powerful critique of the state of the world. Now I am not saying there is something wrong with venting personal issues in literature. However, this book could potentially have such an impact that I am worried the rants could scare off people who might otherwise find some eye-opening truths, or at least could see their own half-formed ideas confirmed.
Please do not let this stop you, though. Read it. It may not be for the faint of heart, but I think everyone could learn something from this. It is very frank, and does not pussyfoot (sorry, I just love that phrase) around anything. At all.
This book is a piece of terrific writing – raw, completely new, absorbing, awakening.
Suffice to say, I am already halfway through A Million Little Pieces.
This turned into a quite a long post, so there will be no "secondly". The rest of what I have been up to whilst jetsetting will be revealed over time – but there will be some non-fiction, there will be some Ibsen, and other exciting things, so stay tuned.

Domain Name Day at the Spa
The Complainant operates a business based in Los Angeles, California, supplying nail and body care products under the mark SPARITUAL. Complainant has registered the mark in various countries, including the USA and Mexico, and has pending applications to register the mark in other countries, including Canada.
Respondent is a consultant to a business operating under the name "The Spa Ritual" in Calgary, Canada. The disputed domain name, "sparitual.com", was registered by Complainant on the business' behalf on October 19, 2006 and points to a website promoting the spa and its facilities, including a boutique selling body care products and noting "Check back soon for online shopping of our exclusive Spa Ritual products".
The Panel denied the Complaint on the evidence that Respondent made demonstrable preparations to use the domain name and the corresponding name "The Spa Ritual" in connection with a bona fide offering of services before any notice to her of a dispute. This evidence included Respondent's retention since 2005 as a consultant to establish, develop, own and operate a full-service day spa in Calgary, Canada and, in connection with that retention, Respondent's preparation of a site assessment report, a strategic business plan, the retention of a design firm which made a proposal regarding branding and a logo, and Respondent's preparation of a concept document which included a proposed layout and design for the spa prior to its opening. Although Complainant asserted that it had made sales in Canada since at least February 2005, there was no evidence of the extent of those sales and no basis to infer that Respondent must have been aware of them at any particular point in time.
Significantly, the Panel opined that an application to register a trademark in the United States or other countries does not of itself constitute notice of a dispute to a party in Canada for purposes of paragraph 4(c)(i) of the Policy and that the doctrine of constructive notice under US trademark law does not assist in cases under the UDRP where the respondent is outside the USA.

As we can now see, nothing happened. Why? Because God has never and will never reveal His judgment day to the world. It is not for the church to count the days and preach such things but the church has a call to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ!
This video is a good response to Camping's prophesies. Let us pray for revival through the power of God and HIS gospel!
