In a separate report, the pace of existing home sales in California rose in October from the previous month but the prices edged down. The inventory of homes for sale also grew and it took longer for properties to sell.
The National Association of Realtors said that sales of existing homes slipped 0.1% in October from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.75 million — in line or slightly above analysts' projections. The September results were also revised upward to 6.76 million homes. (The figures do not include new homes.)
Sales prices rose on a year-over-year basis, with the median sales price climbing 8.8% to $187,000.
Low mortgage rates once again were credited with keeping home sales strong. The national average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 5.72% in October, down from 5.75% in the previous month, according to mortgage company Freddie Mac. In October 2003, the average rate was 5.95%.
"Of course all of the other market fundamentals remain sound, so we should only see a modest decline from record home sales this year if mortgage interest rates gradually rise," said NAR's chief economist David Lereah in a statement.
On a regional basis, the South was the only area to report an increase in sales activity in October, with the sales pace rising 3.7% from the previous month. Sales declined 2.8% in the Midwest, 1.3% in the Northeast and 3.6% in the West.
In California, existing home sale rose 2.1% from September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 639,570 properties, according to the California Association of Realtors. The median sales price dipped 0.7% to $460,370, but remained more than 21% above year-ago levels.
The real estate group also noted that the average time a house sat on the market before it sold was 37 days — the highest level since July 1999. In addition, the inventory of homes for sales rose to a nearly four month supply, compared to about a two month supply a year ago.
"This is giving buyers a greater number of options when looking for a home," CAR President Jim Hamilton said in a statement.

For a week in August every year, the beautiful Black Rock Desert becomes the most populated community in the state, welcoming some 60,000 people for the famous Burning Man festival. This event begins on the last Monday of the month and runs for seven days, ending on Labor Day. During this time, the area becomes a sort of free-spirited society made up of participants who come to indulge in total self-expression and heightened creativity. If you're interested in taking part in this incomparably unique event, book a Nevada car rental and make the journey to the desert.
History of Burning Man
Burning Man was established in 1986 by Larry Harvey. It started as a small bonfire ritual attended by Harvey and his friends, who would gather on Baker Beach to express themselves by burning a handmade wooden statue of a man that stood 9 feet tall - hence the name "Burning Man." As the wooden effigy continued to get bigger, so did the fest, welcoming more people with each year and relocating to its current spot at Black Rock Desert, which you can access by renting a Las Vegas car rental or Reno car rental.
Harvey captured the spirit of the fest by writing Burning Man's Ten Principles, a set of guidelines rather than rules for maintaining the creative culture of the experimental community. At the forefront of these principles are self-expression and self-reliance - each individual's responsibility to look into themselves, utilize their inner resources and communicate by creating. Radical inclusion is another important guideline that says any person can take part, and communal effort, civic responsibility and participation help make up the other foundations of the experience. The principle of gifting outlines the need to give without the expectation of receiving, while decommodification supports gifting by removing transactions, commercialism and advertising from the culture of Burning Man. In the end, leaving no trace is essential - leaving the landscape in the same or better condition as you found it
What to expect
After arriving in their Burning Man rental cars, participants can step out to explore a landscape taken over by one of the world's most unique events. Unlike other fests, there are no famous musical acts, radio show hosts or beer tents. Instead, it's a makeshift community created by and for the participants in an effort to stimulate creativity and encourage expression. Also called "the playa," the Black Rock Desert is an ancient lakebed, providing the temporary society with a stunning beauty that enhances the spirituality and sense of unity on which the fest thrives.
Each year, it takes on a different theme, such as "The Body" and "The Vault of Heaven." The participants contribute to the motif by dressing in elaborate costumes, creating installations and other pieces of art, organizing theme camps or in any other way they choose. At night, there are bonfires all throughout the desert, and people jump from camp to camp meeting new people. The main event takes place on Saturday night, when a crowd gathers to watch the fest's namesake wooden effigy be lit on fire.

912 DC March A Huge Success - Tea Party Rally in Washington Draws 2 Million!
912 March A Success!
This is a proud day for the grassroots liberty movement!
At 12:34 PM Eastern, Michelle Malkin updated that ABC News reports 2 million patriots in attendance at the march in Washington! 2 million! I can just smell the fear on these Washington establishment types.
I would also be very curious to know how much trash was left behind, so I can compare with the 130 tons of trash left behind by attendees of Obama's inauguration.
Why We Fight
Liberty is brewing in America, and it is more important now than ever before to make sure that this does not fizzle out or get hijacked and watered down by the corporate lobbying interests in the back pocket of much of the Republican party.
We must remember that the goal is not to get more people with elephants on their lapels in office. We had years of that during the Bush Administration, and government kept getting bigger and more intrusive. We need true libertarians- that is people who believe in Life, Liberty, and Property- to govern our nation.
A key article to read in this regard is "The American Tea Party 2009: Goals, Objectives, and Principles." In it, I lay out the principles that I believe we should be fighting for if the fight is to be a worthy one, and the proper objectives and tactics to make the fight an effective one.

If this is a grass root movement, Where are the blacks and hispanics and chinese, Indians and others? All I see is very angry white people who idolize Rush Limbaugh. Your movement has shown the worst that America can offer. Our president is not a communist, socialist or any other ist. All he's trying to do is fix the horrific mess left by Bush and the republicans. Get a life. You have no credibility with the rest of America.ReplyDelete

Are you out of your mind? These Tea Party participants aren't libertarians. They are "Republicans," a party that is so authoritarian that it is almost the polar opposite of libertarianism. But then, there are a lot of radical Republicans posing as libertarians as a part of their propaganda and misinformation campaign. These "tea baggers" are being duped by the same psychological manipulators that convinced the ignorant masses that the Bush administration was dedicated to making life better for them. Even now, when we came to the brink of economic and political chaos, these fools are still beating that drum. Well, many of them have more time to do so now that they are unemployed. They can afford to go to Washington and shout like schoolyard bullies because the new Democratic administration really did come to their aid.ReplyDelete
First Anonymous- Thanks for offering your opinion on this- it's important in these polarized times to keep the lines of dialogue open!ReplyDelete
Actually- I don't have any facts or figures on the racial breakdown of the protesters- but do you? Are you sure that it's all angry white people?
I, myself (the owner, editor, and chief author of this blog) happen to be an Asian-American, very young (22), and not a fan of Mr. Limbaugh.
And guess what? I totally agree with you that Bush and the Republican Congress left a HUGE mess that needs to be cleaned up!
My problem with President Obama is that he is more or less continuing and even expanding the overall agenda of the previous administration, not cleaning up its mess.
I think the ability to objectively criticize both sides lends me enormous credibility. On the other hand, I doubt the sincerity of anyone who defends the policies of either Bush or Obama while criticizing the other.
Second Anonymous- I definitely share your concerns, and even echo them with my admonitions in the article above to steer clear of establishment "leadership" and corporate lobbying interests.ReplyDelete
As with most political movements I would agree that there are multiple factions in the tea party movement with different and in some places, conflicting interests.
That's one reason I wrote and linked to the article outlining goals, objectives, and principles for the tea party movement- to focus it and maintain its ideological integrity as a movement committed to genuine liberty.
On the whole, I do think the movement is an earnest cry for less government at a time when the government is more bloated than ever and drunk on unchecked executive powers that it has assumed under the previous and current administrations.

I am of Melungeon decent, probably one of the few remaining in the world! My mother and father of the old family, I married an Italian and moved out of the hills. I am white skinned, yet colored! How can one look at the skin of a person and know what is in their soul? I am angry at these elitist politicians in Washington who have turned their back on us, thinking they know better than we do, and that they do not answer to us! That is how my ancestors ended up being persecuted for years! Obama should know better, but he has fallen in with the very order that seeks to enslave the citizens. I SALUTE the patriots standing up for the citizens of this nation!ReplyDelete
You make an excellent point- the race of these protesters is no indicator of the sincerity or lack thereof in their hearts.ReplyDelete
I think the movement is clearly a grassroots one because it has no centralized organization, so many are acting on their own initiative and on a local level, and because of the sheer numbers involved!
A lot of Americans very clearly feel that the direction we are headed is wrong. If only we could get on the same page with the people who felt the same way during the eight years of Bush- maybe then real change would come to Washington.

So you say no to health care for even the whites who are poor. you say no to hard working families who were scammed out of their houses due to bad mortgage practices, You say no to fixing the predetory credit card companies, and say no to bringing this country from the brink of disaster that President Bush left us in.

I'm as angry as you about corporate interests ruling this nation's agenda and hurting hard working Americans.
I think ending rule of law and procedural due process might just do more damage than good to your cause though.
"ok messamore you are asian american..."
I'm not saying it gives me a special insight into anything. The original commenter said we were all angry white people, so I was merely supplying a counter example.
As for all the abuses you list- I AGREE WITH YOU! You're absolutely right. Give me some credit. I even said so in the article above- I said that this movement will be a waste if we let it get derailed by the politics of the last eight years.
What more should I say? As for your implication that I have nothing valuable to bring to the debate because of my age- that is an ad hominem fallacy. My age has nothing to do with the validity of my statements.

The "Tea Party Express" could be the most poorly titled political movement in history. I see clip after clip of people from this movement on TV saying "no more high taxes!" or "stop the reckless spending!" The Boston Tea Party had very little to do with taxes being to high. The Tea Act of 1773 REPEALED a 25% tax on the East India Company which made it possible for them to undercut the price of colonial tea merchants that weren't comissioned to sell East India Co. tea. The colonial merchants were faced with financial ruin because the East India tea WAS SO CHEAP DUE TO THE HUGE TAX BREAK!!!!! The colonists were concerned that this created a British legislated tea monopoly for the East India Co. and could spread to other trade goods.ReplyDelete
It saddens me that there is never any mention of this glaring historical contextual error in all of the hours and hours of coverage this Tea Party Express gets. The profound lack of education and understanding of this counties history is truly staggering. I am no fan of high taxes, but to the few folks out there who actually remember a thing or two about american history, this movement looks like an uneducated rant of baffoonery and makes us question anything the people in the movement say.
They should have checked their history books!!
But isn't that exactly the point, Eric? They would rather drink more expensive, smuggled Dutch tea than pay a tax on cheaper British tea because they were so principled in their stand against taxation without representation.ReplyDelete
Here we are facing far worse than the colonists could have ever imagined, a violation of our principles of liberty as well as very real and substantial damage to our livelihoods by the actions of our government and its corporate lobbying interests.
I think the movement is very aptly named, because like our forebears, we have had enough of executive and legislative tyranny. We are tired of a distant government in a faraway city dictating to us the terms of our lives and interactions.

imho opinion health care for everyone (provided by the government) should not be that costly as it is now. I think it should be a moral debat about making money off sick people. Dont get me wrong i am not talking about underpayed nurses, doctors, surgeons, etc. Im talking about large pharmaceutical companies and equipment manufacturers skimming off billions of tax payers money. The argument that they need that money to develop new drugs and equipments is in my opinion one that has no ground. The reaserches at those companies dont make that much money, they are content with a good lab full of equipment. Their drive isnt money.
So in health care we the public would be best served if it would all be controled by ourself (through a governing body). Some more areas would be best controled by a governing body. It still would leave plenty of areas to be uncontroled and unregulated by a governing body.
And yes I do think we are not that different as it sometime looks.

So if I give you credit card with a $5K balance, and you run it up to $250K.... how is that my fault?ReplyDelete
I will write more later. I've been on the road and part of the protest for more than 17 hours. I was there today. I don't know the actual figures, but there were a lot of people there. It was the biggest crowd I have ever been part of. We were packed shoulder to shoulder on the capital lawn, and then stretched down Pennsylvania Avenue almost to the Washington Monument.I can tell you as an eyewitness, this was not all Angry white men. There were people of all race and colors represented. There were as many women, if not more women there than men. And ages ranged from the youngest voters 18-20's to very senior citizens well into their 80's. I met people there today from almost every state in the union. Finally this was a grass roots event. Everyone there, paid their own way to get there. Yes many of us came on buses, but we had to search out groups that were going in order to find transportation. We were not told to be in DC today by anyone other than our own conscious and sense of patriotic duty.ReplyDelete

Our leader should be a "real" American with serious qualifications like Glen Beck or Rush Limbuagh. No one is interested in a black man who was born on some island that tries to pass as a state. I never voted that island in for statehood. We on the Right are trying to de-legitimize this president, mostly because he's black, and those unamericans in the liberal run media are working against us by treating the president like, well, like HE'S THE PRESIDENT. We are absolutely terrified that a black man is president!!! The SOUTH shall rise again!ReplyDelete

Oh, my gosh. That people would talk so cruelly about anothers opinions. This is America and we have the right to our own opinions. First of all at these rallies (left and right alike) there are people of all races, ages and economic stabilities. Just because one African American doesn't believe as the rest makes him not respect his heritage. Also, this is not a Republican or Libertarian thing. Many of these people are independents (some who voted for O'bama). I understand where the left is coming from, but here is something for you to think about. Per the Constitution many of the laws being enacted should be left to the States but the Federal Government has been taking those State Rights away. In effect hurting the people of those States by taking away the right to a local government that understands them and giving it to people 100's to 1,000's of miles away who have forgotten what it's like to live a normal life.

Of course they're a largely all white crowd. Do you expect Hispanics and Blacks who receive rather than pay taxes to protest high taxes and the government hand outs upon which they thrive?

Negros and Hispanics can organize racially and Whites must start asserting the same rights for themselves. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WHITES!ReplyDelete

I happen to be watching a Larry King special on the Manson murders. It's interesting that the people here calling the Tea Party Patriots racist sound as full of hate as the Manson "family." They ridiculed those they disagreed with - spewing hate - and feeling a need to force their ideas on others -- if not by persuasian -- by force. Just reading the words of one of the previous posters is chillingly close to Manson...ReplyDelete
"Anonymous said...

From someone who was there and participates in tea parties - America is in deep trouble because of the corruption that is rampant in the Republican and the Democratic parties. They have been having a party at our expense and even if sanity returned it may be too late.ReplyDelete
Our government - by their own budget release will only bring in through revenues 60% of what they plan on spending in 2010. Can you run your household with that math. Don;t fall for the racial/party derision that is being promoted. That allows the corruption to continue. Would you trust any of these individuals with your future - with your county? -- I don't. I love my country and what this country used to stand for and hopefully - what we may leave for our grandchildren and their children. Stop expecting a free ride - and make your own future. The government will just give you empty promises. Look at their record. Everything they are involved with is going broke. Take the blinders off and educate yourself with facts. Thanks for the sacrifice of the many for a memorable day of which i am very proud to have been a participant.

Dear Americans, (a look from Europe -sry for my english)ReplyDelete
hard time in Amerika and Europe.
100.000 or even millions protest/demonstrate in our ""countries" for freedom and justice. But nothing about it in the media.
For example in Europe the Newspapers wrote that tenthousend ! Americans did demonstrate not 2 millions! In Greece students ( ca. 100000) demonstrated against corrupt politicans and for justice, but mummed policemen go on the rampage(Videos proved that the mummed were policemen) and all eu news wrote about the "bad" and "Agressive" students. The mass media is a weapon of mass desruction, they only write what "our" politicans/bank-sters whant to. In Germany the Banks blackmail our state to give them immediaty 600Billion euro or "the system will collapse" Like in America. No news wrote, who get this money,how much ,our money damn ,the money of us the workers and taxpayers. People are kept in the dark. We see a European Dictaturship comming to us like in ur country. We cannot vote for the people who make the rules in EU !! Similar in America.Two partys to choose from but all have the same target to obey the Lobbyists and Banker, exact the same in Eu .Everything ispromised befor the election,but after.... America/the army (if the american people are against it it doesn´t matter) makes one by one war against inocent People. Mainly to divert the people from the real problems. Same in EU. Why the army killed 1,3 MILLION human in Irak. Why ? For money and oil! Sadam had nothing to do with 9/11,he was a friend of the US (Weapon Manufacurs) ,he buyed weapons for Million dollars,he hated Terrorists. He had no womd ,he was a puppet like Bin Laden.
Bin Laden NEVER said (yes the mass media showed a compete other picture) he did 9/11, the Afganistan President asked Mr Bush to deliver Bin Laden(former CIA agent) but the US had no verdict against him. The CIA never searched for him, because of 9/1. We all were cheated, damn. Similar things in EU to disinform the people ,banks are contolling us.
Germany "defence" !! army is attaking/killing Afganistan(s) for freedom of course (ironic).War is freedom ,and the normal people think it is possible to kill people for freedom. We we live in freedom or we kill each other but not other way. It´s like to smoke pot because u are against drugs- very logical. Lobbyists are the cancer in our "democratcy" lol democracy -only on the papers. Lobbyists and bankers rule everything from behind.
Children are singing songs about Obama ,like they do in Northcorea about Kim Jong Il, or in nazigermany about hitler -WAKE UP. instead of the word Jesus they sing the songs with the word Obama!? I´ve got some black friends and they are very angrey about Obama ,they thought he is a little chance for america, but he make the same things like Bush ,well they/politics are all the same. And if u talk negative about him u are a rassist?! cray ! It´s critic damn ,we are all allowed to criticise our leaders. We the human race (not the Elite of course) are worldwide in danger ;we ALL ! are cheated misleaded and bleed dry. A poor nation are perfect slaves for the industrie.
In Eu they(politics) want to observe/monitor everybody (but OF COURSE not themselfs),but it´s a fakt that it´s not for our safety.
Please never give up fighting for freedom ,free information and justice.
Most people are against us they only belive whats in TV, they think its all okay. But we are on their side ,we are the people.
Love and Strength form Europe.

Aber ich denke Amerika und die EU sind auch gegen Freiheit- aber nicht alles Amerikaner Leute und nicht alles Deutsch Leute.

I can tell you there there was not one scrap of trash on the street while we were walking, and I saw NONE later in the day.ReplyDelete
KOOK and I were both at the event. Despite what ignorant people like "anonymous" say, there was no hint of any partisanship at the 9/12 event. I spoke to people of all colors, all walks of life who wanted the same thing. I do not resort to name calling quickly but "anonymous" and I have tangled before. He will be nice for a bit, then resort to insults and name calling. I invited a so called friend of his (or alias) of his to get a free post at KOOK's to do a global warming/climate change debate. All I asked was that none of my previous GW material be used in the guest post. I wanted 2 sides, each loaded with their own info, to do a real debate. I debate that I have never lost by he way And on other blogs, using other identities, I jump into the climate change debate with college educated climatologists and either debate them to a draw, or win. I have been studying climate and hurricanes since my first hurricane experience in 1981 as a hobby. I took the AMS meteorology exam which along with a college degree would make me a ceritified Met. I passed it with an 85. For someone who spent one year in college studying an unrelated subject, I think I did okay. Anonymous spent a week attacking an offer not made to him, while the person the offer was made to disappeared for a week. Then the other person who, oddly had a very similar style of composition as "anonymous" popped up and said he wanted to take me up on my offer after I had a week of trading insults with his pal. I said okay, as long as the insults directed towards me on your blog are addressed. I in a gesture of good faith did exactly what I asked and removed all such reposts and posts from my blog to show that I was being sincere while over on that blog, any such suggestion of a blogger being responsible for the content posted on their blog was met with insults from from the blogger this time that were nearly identical to the others insults from the other person. Again, similar writing style. I think this guy was pretending to be two people, one to attack, and one to be nice. I showed a core conservative ideal by not asking someone to do something I would not do myself. I was not shown the same treatment by anonymous and his "pal." So I call anonymous a TROLL because of experience and go after him, not with insults but with ideas and facts wherever he turns up.ReplyDelete
KOOK- That is what I keep hearing!ReplyDelete
Andrew- so you can tell who this is just by the writing style?
PS: If you ever want to write anything on global warming as a guest post on The Humble Libertarian (with a link back to KOOK of course), your expertise would certainly be welcome.

Visitors could taste desserts and coffee from the Café Pupp menu, bartenders of the Becher's Bar mixed dozens of cocktails and cooks prepared juicy tortillas in front of the guests. Students of the practical training center at the Grandhotel Pupp decided to present a traditional Czech creamy sauce at conception "Not just one -sviczkova-". Guests were interested in all specialities, as evidenced by the nearly 3000 sold tasting portions.
Special event of this year's Food Festival Karlovy Vary was the national final of Czech Food Cup 2010, competition for the restaurants within the project Czech Specials. In the final round the restaurants competed in tomato sauce and jury announced for the best restaurant in the Czech Republic Orea Hotel Bily Horec in Harrachov.
Festival culminated in an attempt to write into the Czech Book of Records the largest number of waiters in one place, followed by a traditional competition in running of waiters "Run, waiter, run". Forty waiters attended in this year´s competition.
If you have missed this year's Food Festival Karlovy Vary, definitely do not forget to note the date of May 1, 2011.

Isaiah Philmore was a fixture for three years in John Carroll's lineup. The same was true for the 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward when he continued his playing career at Towson.
During the 2011-12 season, however, Philmore was relegated to an unfamiliar position: sitting on the bench.
"It was really tough for me because I'm really not used to not being able to play," said Philmore, who sat out his junior season after transferring to Xavier from Towson. "But I got a lot better, worked out a lot. You actually get to see the game in person. You can learn a lot if you're really paying attention. I really think that it helped me become a better player."
After losing the top five scorers from last season off its roster, the Musketeers' coaching staff can't help but hope Philmore's observation about his improvement comes true. A redshirt junior from Bel Air, Philmore is expected to play a major role for a Xavier program that has made seven-straight NCAA tournament appearances, but could be in store for a rebuilding year thanks to the graduation of three starters and the unexpected departures of two others.
Philmore, however, is just happy to return to game action. A second-team Baltimore Sun All-Metro selection in 2009, Philmore surprised many local college basketball followers when he spurned high-major and mid-major-plus offers to play at Towson. As a freshman, Philmore averaged 6.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 20.7 minutes for the Tigers (10-21).
Sophomore year brought significant statistical increases – 15.3 points per game, 7.0 rebounds and 35.7 minutes – for Philmore but less team success. Towson stumbled through a 4-26 campaign that ended with the dismissal of coach Pat Kennedy. Rather than sign on for a rebuilding project with the Tigers, Philmore headed for Cincinnati to join the Atlantic 10's preeminent power.
"It was very different," Philmore said. "At Towson, I just had a hard time, just basketball-wise, with [the team losing]. Once you get to Xavier, [winning is] an expectation. You're on another level. They basically expect you to be perfect. There's a very high standard you have to live up to. Your work ethic has to be that much more."
More than anything during his redshirt year, Philmore said he learned that the game is "probably more mental than physical." When Musketeers coach Chris Mack called a timeout, Philmore could see firsthand the reasons behind his decision. When Mack or another staff member drew up a play, Philmore understood the thinking behind it.
Sitting out last season "definitely helped me become more vocal, more confident in what I think and how I feel, which is exactly what the team needs this year," Philmore said. "We need leaders, somebody to be there and look up to and listen to."
Guard Tu Holloway (17.5 ppg), center Kenny Frease (10.2 ppg) and forward Andre Walker (5.3 ppg) have graduated, while guard Mark Lyons (15.1 ppg) and wing Dez Wells (9.8 ppg) have transferred to Arizona and Maryland, respectively. Touted guard recruit Myles Davis, meanwhile, will redshirt because the NCAA didn't clear courses he took at Notre Dame Prep.
Travis Taylor, a senior forward who averaged 4.5 points as a redshirt junior, is the Musketeers' leading returning scorer. Philmore certainly didn't expect to be one of just eight eligible scholarship players on Xavier's roster.
"Not at all. Nobody was really expecting anything like this," he said. "But it's life. You have to deal with the things that get thrown at you. Right now, we're adapting to the different situation that we're in now with less talent. We're coming together more as a team. But we're ready to win and go all out."
Philmore, who will play the 3 and the 4 depending on matchups, said he planned on being a vocal leader for the Musketeers before their many departures. He'll be expected to pick up a decent amount of Xavier's scoring slack, in addition to focusing on rebounding on the offensive and defensive ends.
When Philmore left Towson, he planned on playing for a winning program. Despite the Musketeers' unexpected roster deficiencies, Philmore is looking forward to doing everything in his power to keep Xavier at the top of the A-10 standings.
"I'm so ready. So excited," Philmore said. "It's been a long time since I've been on the court. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I can't wait to get out there the first game."
The Sweet 16 is an occasional series profiling the best Division I college basketball players from the Baltimore area. Players were selected based on prior accomplishments and projections for the upcoming season.

|These pages are currently being completely re-written to reflect the new KDE infrastructure and may not be in a consistent state. Information and commands on some page may no longer be valid and should be used with care.
Languages: عربي | Asturianu | Català | Česky | Kaszëbsczi | Dansk | Deutsch | English | Esperanto | Español | Eesti | فارسی | Suomi | Français | Galego | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Norwegian | Polski | Português Brasileiro | Română | Русский | Svenska | Slovenčina | Slovenščina | српски | Türkçe | Tiếng Việt | Українська | 简体中文 | 繁體中文
This page provides an overview of the KDE build process. once you complete the steps dscribed here you will have a complete KDE development system customized to your needs.
The build process described in these pages is kept as simple and generic as possible, but it is generally assumed you are building KDE4 on Linux. Extra information about building KDE Software on specific distributions or platforms, or under certain conditions can be found at the following links:
This section will briefly explain the concepts and steps involved in building software so you are not being asked to blindly follow some recipes you do not understand.
It is assumed you are at least familiar with the basics of using the command line.
Once you have read the summary you can see a worked example here.
The Source step is obtaining a local copy of the source code that you want to build. For a detailed explanation of where to obtain the source code and how KDE stores and organizes our source code please read the KDE Sources section.
The two main options here are to either download a snapshot tarball of the code, or to directly access the source code repository. For developing on the unstable branch of the KDE SC it is recommended you directly access the required repositories.
The Configure step is setting up how the source code is to be built and installed.
The Build step is compiling the source code and linking it to other libraries to create the new executables and libraries.
The Install step is copy the new executables and libraries somewhere that they can be found and run from.
The Update step is updating an existing build to use the latest version of the source code and then re-building and re-installing it.
The easiest way to build the KDE SC from scratch is to use one of the build scripts that are available. This approach is highly recommended for those new to building KDE SC as it takes care of the Source, Configure, Build, Install and Update steps for you. The builds remain compatible with the manual methods of building KDE SC so you can change later if you want.
There are several possible ways to build and install KDE software and the method you choose depends on what you want to do with the software once it is built.
You may want to:
In particular, for application development you may only need to build some parts of the KDE SC while relying on the KDE Development Platform stable packages from your distribution.
The tables below provide some guidance in making this decision.
TODO: Complete these options.
|Developing an application outside of the KDE development infrastructure using the stable KDE Development Platform.
|Packaged Stable Release
|Developing an application outside of the KDE development infrastructure using features from the unstable KDE Development Platform.
|Snapshot Build
|Unstable Source Build
|Developing an application in the KDE SC using the stable KDE Development Platform.
|Stable Source Build
|Developing an application in the KDE SC using features in the unstable KDE Development Platform.
|Unstable Source Build
|Developing the unstable KDE Development Platform.
|Unstable Source Build
|Stable Release Packages
|Install a stable release of the KDE Development Platform from packages using your distributions standard software installer.
|Unstable Packages
|Install an unstable version of the KDE Development Platform using your distributions standard software installer. Some distributions provide unstable packages for Nightly Snapshots, Weekly Snapshots, or unstable development releases.
|Snapshot Build
|Build a snapshot of the source code as at a given time or release from a tarball download. These may be stable or unstable releases or nightly snapshots
|Stable Source Build
|Build a version of the source code for an official release directly from the source repository.
|Unstable Source Build
|Build the current unstable development code directly from the source repository.
You need to complete each of the following steps to build and/or install a working KDE development system Manually building KDE Software requires that you first set up the build environment and install the required development tools and libraries.
These steps are yet to be completed:
Short version: Using exactly the same recipe and environment you used to build kdesupport build the core KDE modules from Git in the following order:
kdelibs kdepimlibs kde-runtime kde-workspace kde-baseapps konsole kate
After this you are able to build whatever module you are interested in from the appropriate Git or Subversion repository.
The old instructions can be found here:
Compile and Linking errors are frequent sources of discouragement. Make careful note of the first occurrence of an error in your build process. It could be as simple as a bad environment variable, an unexpected version of a library or missing prerequisite. Please read the instructions carefully.
Please review your logs and do searches for fixes. If you cannot find a solution, try the Troubleshooting page. If you still cannot resolve the problem then please ask for help on IRC or a Mailing List.

So what ever happened to Squeenix's 'Death to Mana and SaGa!' policy they announced earlier this year?
Better that this happened to SaGa than, say, Chrono. Id say Mana would probably be a better fit for this sort of thing though.

Hello michellemuffin, Welcome to the forum. I have only just come across your post. I am really shocked at your tragic story. I live on the IW and am waiting for the vaccine to come into our vets. One of my bunnies, Widget, has recently been very poorly. Luckily, the vet said he was sure it wasn't RHD2. Widget has been treated with Alamycin and is improving slowly, although he has lost a great deal of weight. I have posted about his illness on here, but can't work out how to show you the link. You'll be able to read it from my latest posts.
I hope you haven't lost any more buns and that they can be protected. I'm so very sorry and heartbroken for your family. xxxxx

Read the complete text of Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology, as announced on March 11, 2003
DNA technology is increasingly vital to ensuring accuracy and fairness in the criminal justice system. DNA can be used to identify criminals with incredible accuracy when biological evidence exists, and DNA can be used to clear suspects and exonerate persons mistakenly accused or convicted of crimes.
The Initiative calls for increased funding, training, and assistance — to Federal, State, and local forensic labs; to police; to medical professionals; to victim service providers; and to prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges — to ensure that this technology reaches its full potential to solve crimes, protect the innocent, and identify missing persons. This Initiative has the following specific goals:
In August 2001, the Attorney General directed NIJ to assess criminal justice system delays in the analysis of DNA evidence and develop recommendations to eliminate those delays. In response, NIJ convened a working group comprising a broad cross-section of Federal, State, and local criminal justice and forensic science experts. The group met twice in 2002 to discuss the nature and causes of DNA backlogs and possible strategies for reducing the backlogs. Counseled by the findings of this working group, NIJ submitted a report to the Attorney General with a series of recommendations to eliminate the DNA testing backlog and to build the Nation's capacity to routinely use DNA evidence as an investigative tool.
Working Group Membership
Meeting Transcripts
On October 30, 2004, the President signed into law the "Justice for All Act of 2004," which establishes enforceable rights for victims of crimes; enhances DNA collection and analysis efforts; provides for post-conviction DNA testing; and authorizes grants to improve the quality of representation in state capital cases. This Act puts into law many of the provisions of the President's Initiative. Full text of the Act.

Myths and Facts: Study Verifies That There Is No Value In Any Flu Vaccine
remarkable study published in the Cochrane Libary found no evidence of benefit for influenza vaccinations and also noted that the vast majority of trials were inadequate.
The authors stated that the only ones showing benefit were industry-funded. They also pointed out that the industry-funded studies were more likely to be published in the most prestigious journals…and one more thing: They found cases of severe harm caused by the vaccines, in spite of inadequate reporting of adverse effects.
The study, "Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults", is damning of the entire pharmaceutical industry and its minions, the drug testing industry and the medical system that relies on them.
In the usual manner of understatement, the authors concluded:
The results of this review seem to discourage the utilisation of vaccination against influenza in healthy adults as a routine public health measure. As healthy adults have a low risk of complications due to respiratory disease, the use of the vaccine may be only advised as an individual protection measure against symptoms in specific cases.
The Study

Last week's news of a Manhattan nanny allegedly butchering and killing two children in her care and then trying to kill herself with the same bloody knife shocked parents everywhere.
How could someone who cares for children commit such a heinous act?
"Why? Why?" parents were asking.
This question hasn't been fully answered but information around the tragedy is slowly leaking out.
Yoselyn Ortega, 50, who worked for the Krim family on the Upper West Side, woke from a coma on Sunday. In a confused state, she asked about her own family and requested to talk with a lawyer. She didn't mention the Krim family.
Marina Krim discovered that her two children, 2-year-old Leo and 6-year-old Lucia, had been killed when she returned from taking her third child 3-year-old Nessie to a swimming lesson. Ortega was stabbing herself when Marina walked into the kitchen; the nanny went into a coma.
This week, from her hospital bed, Ortega gave New York police a statement. "She said something like, 'I'm paid to watch the children, not clean up and do housework,' " a law-enforcement source told the New York Post. "There was friction between her and the family."
Ortega, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from the Dominican Republic, has lived in America for 10 years. For the past two years, she worked full-time for the Krim family, who were referred to Ortega by a friend. Several sources have told the media and police that Ortega was struggling financially. The Krim family offered to help by giving Ortega five extra hours a week of housework. Ortega told cops in her statement that she wanted to watch the kids, not do housework. The nanny also said that the Krims were unhappy with Ortega's overall work ethic and had threatened to let her go if things didn't improve.
Probably the most important bit of information to come out is that a source said Ortega recently considered going to a psychologist (it's unknown whether she actually saw one). In other words, this crime wasn't committed by a woman who was unhappy in her job. It was committed by a women who was most likely mentally unstable.
People everywhere are unhappy with their jobs and they're asked everyday to do things they don't want to do. That's part of life and working, and as an employee it's your responsibility to work with the employer to figure out how to improve your situation—or you move on. If only Ortega has just moved on.

In Denmark traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road. Overtake to the left and stay in the right-hand lane of multi-lane roads, when not overtaking. Signs and rules of the road follow international conventions, but here are some extra things to take note of when driving in Denmark:
Right of way
Red and white triangular signs or white triangles painted on the road mean give way to traffic on the road you are about to enter.
Give way to buses pulling out of bus stops. They will indicate before doing so.
Denmark has more cyclists than most places and you should pay particular attention to them when turning right. Make sure you give way to cyclists and motorcyclists continuing straight when you turn right.
Motorway driving
You must indicate when changing lane on the motorway. Use your hazard lights to warn others of unexpected queues or traffic slowing down.
Speed limits
In Denmark, the speed limits are: 50km/h (31.1mph) in urban areas; 80km/h (50mph) on motorways outside urban areas; 130km/h (81mph) on motorways in most places and 110km/h (68mph) in others; 80km/h (50mph) on dual carriageways and normal roads outside of urban areas.
On motorways, cars and motorcycles with trailers have a speed limit of 80km/h (50mph) and on normal roads 70km/h (44mph). Failure to drive within speed limits in Denmark will result in an on-the-spot police fine for foreign visitors.
Parking and waiting in a car is generally permitted in the right side of the road, but prohibited on main roads and motorways. You may not park on roads with an unbroken white line down the middle, anywhere within 5 metres (16 feet) of a pedestrian/bicycle crossing or 10 metres (33 feet) from an intersection. You may also not park within 12 metres (40 feet) of a bus stop, where the curb is painted yellow. Parking restrictions with regards to certain times and days are written on signs at parking areas and areas where you may not park. Police may remove illegally-parked cars or hand out a fine on the spot. In Denmark, parking discs are required where time-limited parking is allowed.
Blood alcohol limit
The blood alcohol limit in Denmark is 0.5 per thousand, equivalent to approximately two measures.

Actors : Heather Vahn, Lance Alexander
Lance Alexander is in town on business and his company has put him up at a pretty nice hotel. All the amenities: complimentary breakfast, gym, wi-fi... and the maid service is second to none. Lance discovers this for himself when he comes out of the bathroom after showering and finds her making his bed. She turns and immediately is taken back by the size of his massive cock. Even limp it's as big as her face, and she recoils at first sight of it. However her curiosity eventually gets the best of her and he coaxes her into taking it first into her hand, and then into her mouth. Sucking on the head she quickly warms up to the idea of serving any of Mr. Alexander's needs, and he utilizes the privilege and goes for the full treatment. Spreading her legs and penetrating, Heather is star crossed between pleasure and nerves. She's never had a cock quite this big before, and Lance sure knows how to use it. Pumping back and forth, in and out, he takes full advantage of the hospitality before spending his load all over himself while she sits on his face. And the best thing about fucking the maid? When you're done she fully expects to resume the responsibility of remaking the bed while you go wash the jizz of your chest. Enjoy!

2014 Range Rover LWB review
* New Range Rover flagship driven in UK * 18cm more rear legroom than standard Range Rover * On sale now, priced from £102,120...
This is the new long-wheelbase Range Rover, which has been designed to firm up the big SUV's credentials as an alternative to a luxury saloon.
It has been made 20cm longer, liberating an additional 18cm of rear leg space. It's a clever design job, too, because the car hasn't been made to look ungainly in the process, with only longer rear doors giving the game away.
It is available with two engine options, both familiar from the regular model: a 5.0-litre supercharged petrol V8, or the more popular 4.4-litre V8 diesel. A diesel hybrid version will also be available later this year.
What's the 2014 Range Rover LWB like inside?
The big news, of course, is in the back. The current Range Rover is already far easier to climb into and out of than the previous model, but the longer one really is up to limo standards: providing, of course, that you don't mind a step up, rather than a stoop down.
Once ensconced it really is up to the standards of the world's best saloons. All of that extra length has gone into providing more kneeroom and there's now a huge amount of lounging space. If your legs are long enough you can also tuck your feet under the front seats.
In fact, the back of the longer Range Rover really is a supreme way from which to survey the outside world. The commanding height gives you a terrific view over most other traffic, and with a panoramic roof option plenty of daylight floods into the back.
The seats themselves are just as comfortable as in the regular model, although they do recline a few degrees farther back. As in the normal Range Rover, a three-seat rear bench is standard with the option of individual 'Executive' seating, with two individual chairs separated by a centre console.
Up front it's situation normal. No bad thing, of course, because the Range Rover has a wonderfully ordered and well tailored cabin. It can't match that in a Mercedes S-Class, though, which leads the way for craftsmanship and quality of infotainment.
What's the 2014 Range Rover LWB like to drive?
Identical to the normal model. Which is a good thing.
Adding the extra inches to the floorpan has had no adverse effect whatsoever on how the car conducts itself. It feels as smooth-riding, agile and refined as the standard car, making it extremely competitive with other luxury saloons.
Nor is there any sign that additional weight has blunted the performance: the V8 petrol is almost indecently swift for a car this size. The V8 diesel is still strong, although it doesn't accelerate with quite the forcefulness of the petrol model.
Downsides? The car is just that bit more difficult to park, and the V8 petrol model will drain your pockets fast, with average economy of 20.5mpg and a £1135-per-month company car tax bill. The V8 diesel is more efficient, but still does only 32.5mpg and sits in the top band for company car tax.
The diesel is also a little noisier than might be ideal, certainly under acceleration from low speeds. It does fade into the background as speeds rise though.
Should I buy one?
If you plan to chauffeur or be chauffered then the new long-wheelbase Range Rover is a compelling proposition even in the UK, which is far from the car's target market. It's a fabulous thing to be ferried around in, with a uniquely commanding view outside, and is equally good to drive yourself.
However it is a pricey proposition and a more conventional luxury saloon with a six-cylinder diesel will be cheaper to buy and run. Nonetheless, the longer Range Rover does cement its position as one of the world's finest luxury cars.

Celebration Shows Off Student Researchby Kim Johnson • January 25, 2008 Share:
Students became teachers and teachers became students as the largest contingent ever of Wabash men participated in the Celebration of Student Research, Scholarship, and Creative Work.
Every spring semester, on the last Friday of January, formal afternoon classes are cancelled and Detchon Hall is transformed into a Mecca of teaching from all disciplines across the campus. The Celebration is an opportunity for students to present their original, intellectual work much of which is collected outside the normal semester coursework. This year 86 students participated in the 8th Annual Celebration. See photo albums from the Celebration here and here.
Juan Carlos Venis '09 shared his research titled "HealthMap.org: Multi-Lingual Input for Improved Disease Outbreak Detection." The research was completed last summer as part of a bioinformatics program at MIT-Harvard HST in Cambridge. "This was a good opportunity for me to practice presenting this research. It is only the second time I have done it," he said. "I also wanted to be able to share with my professors and mentors at Wabash what I had been doing over the summer."
Stephen Prunier '09 was also anxious to be part of the event with his poster titled "Synthesizing L-Prolinol Derivative to Catalyze Asymmetric Epoxidation Reactions" (along with Andrew Hasty, Forrest Craig, Steven J.R. Miller, Jay Brouwer, and Filip Drambarean). "I put a lot of work in to this research spending two or three days in the lab for five weeks. This is new research that has not been done with this particular molecule."
The range of topics was as divergent as any group of Wabash men. Greg Slisz '10 had a unique psychology project. He took a critical look at Maxim magazine and it's marketing approach to young men. He noted how the magazine often portrayed male stereotypes and trivialized women.
It was a unique way to learn, Slisz said. "I learned a lot about research," he said. "I did a sizeable amount of or research at the library's data base for publications. I also had to look at the magazine critically."
While Detchon Center was filled with students buzzing about their research projects, it was packed with even more students, faculty, community members, and trustees who were eager to see what the students had to share.
Wesley Ault '10 was enjoying the afternoon away from classes yet still taking the opportunity to learn about his fellow classmates. "I had five or six friends here that I wanted to support," said Ault. "But there were also a couple presentations that I really wanted to hear. It's good to see what kind of research students are doing in the classroom and in their free time."
Although Andrew Hoffman '10 was there with an assignment for his C&T class he found the event to be inspiring. "I had started some research but it has gone by the wayside. This has inspired me to start that back up again and has given me ideas of things to do in the future with professors," he said.
"The faculty are really willing to collaborate with the students even though it is not required for the students to do the extra research. There is so much research going on at the undergraduate level at Wabash. I think that makes it a really unique place."

A definite highlight this month is the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (official website), which kicks off on April 20 and runs through the 25th. Of (obvious) particular interest is the Bollywood by Night series, which features Kaminey (2009), 3 Idiots (2009), and -- get this -- Raakh (1989; trailer here), an Aamir Khan film which has yet to release on DVD! Add to this that all films are screened at the state-of-the-art Arclight Hollywood Cinemas (thoroughly enjoyed it every time I've been there), and it's one week full of films well worth looking forward to. Here's the complete film guide.
Lots going on as far as new film releases are concerns as well, but before we get to them, here's a neat little treat. The soundtrack to the upcoming Hrithik Roshan starrer Kites (official website) released recently, and courtesy Saavn, you can download one track from the album for free. To avail this offer, please e-mail Kites at Saavn dot com and refer to this post, following which you will receive a code to download a song of your choice. You can listen to the complete soundtrack at this link. More on the film, provided by Saavn, at the foot of this post.
(As always, please note I am in no way affiliated with Saavn, or with the film Kites. As the disclaimer in the sidebar suggests, your participation in any activity or communication here, or at sites linked to from here, is entirely voluntary, and absolves me and this site of any liabilities related to resulting damages, no matter how material. Please also refer to the Saavn Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.)
On to the releases, then, which carry an interesting blend of themes to mark the start to the second quarter. One I'm definitely looking forward to is Paathshaala (School), starring Shahid Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and Ayesha Takia. A rather pleasant soundtrack (listen at this IN.com link) by Hanif Sheikh accompanies the film, and I'm loving sing-along favorite Aye Khuda by Salim Merchant, although its choreography leaves some to be desired. (Perhaps the strumming of the guitar could be synchronized with the music, to start with?)
Paathshaala comments on the corporatization of academic institutions. I hope it's fun, because it sure sounds like my kind of film. I also hope it incorporates (pun intended) an area Taare Zameen Par (2007) chose to ignore (justifiably) -- a love story! Now, I'm not talking Karan Johar style love stories, but what's any school without love stories, right? :)
My sleeper pick for April is The Japanese Wife by Director Aparna Sen (Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2001), 15 Park Avenue (2005)), starring Rahul Bose and Raima Sen. I'd watch this for the cast and crew alone, but it sure seems we'll have to wait for the DVD release. Check out the synopsis at the films official website.
Meanwhile, Comeback Month was named so for a reason. See? Here are some interesting comebacks this month:
- Rajesh Khanna (Rajesh Khanna!) in Do Dilon Ke Khel Mein
- Vivek Oberoi in Prince
- Tanushree Dutta in Apartment
- Manisha Koirala in Ek Second Jo Zindagi Badal De
Another noteworthy film, if only for the cast, is Housefull, aptly titled so, because it stars a house full of stars, including Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Malaika Arora (whew). Sadly, it's directed by Sajid Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala (Kambakkht Ishkk (2009), Heyy Babyy (2007)), which means odds are it'll be yet another you know what.
Of course, May has the biggest 2010 release so far in Kites.
Any films in particular you're looking forward to?

Apr 9: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai; Prince; The Japanese Wife

A Note from Saavn
(Please note: The following is verbatim, as provided by Saavn, who own claims made herein.)
Saavn is proud to present Kites, one of the biggest Bollywood releases of all time. Starring Bollywood sensation Hrithik Roshan, Kites, the accompanying film, has the largest budget in Bollywood history. With Mexican actress Barbara Mori in the lead, and an international version in English edited by major Hollywood player Brett Ratner (director of the Rush Hour series), Kites is being positioned as Bollywood's first chance at a mainstream hit.
The Kites soundtrack is by Rajesh Roshan, who has won 2 Filmfare awards (India's equivalent of the Oscars) and been nominated for 8 more for his music. With the all-time number six Bollywood soundtrack (Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, 20 million records sold) to his credit, and over 60 million records sold, Rajesh Roshan is in the same league as Pearl Jam, Ricky Martin, Shania Twain and Boyz II Men in terms of record sales (and he surpasses Shakira, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Green Day).
For Kites, Roshan has blended several styles, reflecting the American, Mexican, and Indian pedigree of the project. The album moves through retro Bollywood sounds, Indo-Western fusion, electronic, reggae, and salsa, and it appeals to a wide audience with lyrics in Hindi, English, and Spanish. Voted the year's most anticipated album by users on BollywoodHungama.com, the web's top Bollywood site, Kites is as big as it gets!
About Kites
- Accompanying film is biggest budget Bollywood movie of all time
- Bollywood's first mainstream venture - starring a Mexican actress, with dialogue in English and Spanish, and plot set in the U.S. and Mexico
- Album artist has sold over 60 million albums
- Album artist recorded top Bollywood album of the decade, with over 20 million copies sold
- Expect major press in May around the film's release, especially the international version presented by Brett Ratner (director of the Rush Hour series)

>>>full teams
EVANS, Ga. - The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) announced its post-season awards today (Nov. 7) with a school-record seven from the No. 19 Georgia College & State University (13-1-4) soccer team making the two squads.
Junior Morgan Cobb (Cataula, Ga.) and freshman Karen Bonilla (Manassas, Va.) each earned All-PBC First Team honors, while senior Hayley Ferrell (Hampton, Ga.), sophomores Ally Treat (Fayetteville, Ga.), Kayla Emerson (Fayetteville, Ga.), Jessica Binkowksi (Cumming, Ga.) and Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) all earned second-team nods. The seven on the two teams is the most among the PBC squads.
Cobb picks up her second career all-conference trophy after being named as an All-PBC defender last season. She and the rookie Bonilla played key roles in Georgia College becoming the best defensive squad in the league. The team's .913 save percentage is tops in all of Division II, while the team's 0.335 GAA ranks fourth in the nation. Bonilla added a goal and three assists, while Cobb chipped in with a pair of helps.
Ferrell ranked fifth in the PBC in points (26) and goals (10), as well as sixth in the league in assists (6). She becomes the first three-time All-PBC selection in program history, adding honors in 2007 and 2005. Emerson added five goals and four assists for 14 points as a forward.
Treat, Binkowski and Plunkett were all defensive standouts, Treat in the midfield, Binkowski on the defensive line, and Plunkett as goalkeeper. Treat helped the defense while adding two goals and an assist, while Binkowski utilized her speed on the back line.
Plunkett recorded some of the best goalkeeping numbers in the nation, ranking second in saves percentage (.912) and fifth in GAA (0.31), recording nine shutouts and 61 saves.
These seven and the rest of the Bobcat roster look to avenge their only loss of the 2008 season tonight at 5:30 p.m., squaring off with No. 10 UNC Pembroke (17-1-1) at the PBC Semifinals in Evans, Ga. Listen live on 88.9 WGUR or www.gcsuradio.com.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

In recent years, Nantes has been gaining quite a reputation for its modern art and design. But don't overlook the historic centre of this port city: it still has a hypnotic pull on visitors. Visit the architectural treasures of the 18th-century neighbourhood Île Feydeau, a former island in the tributary of the Loire.
In the past, Île Feydeau would have been the Beverly Hills of Nantes. Half way through the 18th century, in the days when the port city was profiting greatly from its trade with the French colonies, its rich merchants built a very luxurious neighbourhood. They chose a very exclusive location: a small island in a tributary of the Loire. Even today pedestrians admire the splendour of these mansions, with white façades that light up in the sunshine. Tilt back your head to see the most beautiful sculptures and to admire the ubiquitous ornamental wrought iron of the French balconies.
Some buildings in Île Feydeau seem to lean forward and that is not an optical illusion. Because of its sandy soil, the neighbourhood began to subside a hundred years after it was built. Although Feydeau is still called île, it hasn't been an island for a long time. In the 1930s the tributary of the Loire was filled in and the former suburb was incorporated into the city.
The island feel has been somewhat preserved by the greenbelts that were planted in the former river bed. This can be clearly seen at Quai Turenne, where the houses look out over fake quays and a sunken lawn. After dark it almost feels as if the water is still flowing. In summer the lawn becomes a green beach where students read in the sun. Parallel to the quay is the Rue Kervégan, a lovely cobblestone street. This was the birthplace of one of Nantes' most famous residents: Jules Verne.
The rich architecture of Île Feydeau is truly impressive, but the history of this wealth is less pretty. The families who built these mansions made their fortune in the slave trade. In the 18th century at least 450,000 slaves passed through the port of Nantes on their way to the United States. The monument at Quai de la Fosse, further down along the Loire, is a memorial to this horrific history. Visitors to the concrete structure designed by architects Wodiczko + Bonder appear to descend into a ship. The rays of light that filter through the small openings in the wall remind us of the poor living conditions aboard the slave ships. A poignant experience.

The largest mammal on Earth made an unusually early appearance off the Orange County coast Sunday, surprising and delighting whale-watching experts who have never seen it here this early.
Usually, the blue whale is spotted when it's warmer, closer to May. But Dana Wharf Sportsfishing and Whale Watching reported seeing two blue whales throughout the day Sunday feeding on krill about six miles off the coast. Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari reported seeing four blue whales on their trips Sunday and another sighting Monday morning.
Dana Wharf captain Corey Hall said that at first glance Sunday, he thought they were humpbacks.
"It ended up being blue whales; we were completely caught off-guard," he said. "We got to see them fluke, which was super awesome. Hopefully, they are staying in the area."
Seeing the whale fluke – its tail emerging from the water and reaching toward the sky – was an extra treat for spectators.
Hall said the water has stayed chilly, allowing the whales' main food source, krill, to linger on the water's surface. That abundance of food has also kept fin whales in the area for the past week.
He said it is great timing for the blue whales to show up, with the 42nd annual Dana Point Festival of Whales kicking off next weekend. The festival – held for two consecutive weekends – draws 100,000 people to enjoy family-friendly festivities that put a spotlight on the massive mammals off the coast.
Dave Anderson, owner of Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, said he heard that four blue whales were spotted in Monterey in mid-February, and then got word that a few showed up in Long Beach a few days ago.
"I think they may be tracking down the coast," he said. "We don't know for sure, but it's entirely possible."
The blue whale's migration patterns are much more sporadic and unpredictable than that of the gray whales, which are on their annual migration from Alaska to Baja to breed in the Sea of Cortez.
It was once big news to see just two or three blue whales off the Orange County coast each year – the majority of them would hang around in Monterey to feed. But in the mid-2000s, they started showing up in the hundreds off Orange County, creating a new market for whale- watching charters that previously relied mostly on the gray whales for their operations.
But that isn't something to get used to, said Anderson.
"People have started to get complacent with the whales, and think that they'll always be here," he said. "I'm still not settled into there being a blue whale season – I still see it as a gift. Every year, it's totally different. No one really knows what the blue whales are doing."
What is known is that about 2,000 blue whales hang out off the coast of California during summer months. Anderson said he hopes the most recent sighting means they will be here during winter as well.
"There's no reason they couldn't stay here all year 'round if they wanted to," he said. "Everything is constantly changing with the ocean and these animals."
In 2012, Capt. Dave's reported 845 blue whale sightings, with the first spotted June 6.
Hall said the blue whales are much more impressive than the grays because of their sheer size, with flukes reaching a span of 12 to 14 feet. The whales spotted Sunday were about 75feet long. Unlike gray whales, which are cruising by on their migration, blue whales will linger for a bit and eat – great for spectators enjoying the show.
For local whale-watchers, it's a perfect time for the blue whales to show up, because most gray whales have made it to their destination down in Baja, and are hanging out in warmer waters before heading back to Alaska, he said.

Daphne Guinness
The Honourable Daphne Guinness is an artist of Irish, English, and French descent and an heiress of the Guinness family. Guinness is the daughter of Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne and his second wife, Suzanne Lisney. She was raised between Ireland, England, Paris and Spain, in an artists' colony in Cadaques with Salvador DalÍ and the Surrealists. In the mid-1980s, she lived in New York City with her sister Catherine Guinness, a companion of Andy Warhol. Guinness married Spyros Niarchos in 1987 at the age of 19: they had three children, but divorced in 1999.
Growing up, Guinness studied life drawing, drama and music and has since worked with photographers such as David La Chapelle, Steven Klein and Nick Knight. In 2004, Guinness produced an Oscar nominated short film called 'Cashback', directed by Sean Ellis, going on to direct her own short film 'Phenomenology of Body', followed by another short 'Mnemosyne' in 2009. She has also starred in a film, 'The Murder of Jean Seberg', directed by photographer and filmmaker Joe Lally.
Guinness has designed a range of clothing with Dover Street Market and released an eponymous fragrance in 2009 with Comme des Garçons. Guinness has collected fashion, specifically haute couture, for a number of years, and in 2010 bought the entire wardrobe of the late Isabella Blow, in her owns words, to 'prevent Issie's possessions becoming mere morbid memorabilia… to preserve it'. She has a fascination with armour, and in 2006 approached her great friend Shaun Leane to create a gold and diamond arm glove. Titled 'Contra Mundum' or 'Against The World', this handcrafted, intricately made objet d'art took five years to create and develop and is perhaps one of the most technically advanced pieces in the world of artisan jewels.
