Bob Cummins, who has donated more than $3.5 million to Minnesota Republican causes, is telling allies he has had it with Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature and will not give their campaigns any cash this year, according to multiple sources.
Cummins, CEO of Plymouth-based Primera Technology, is reportedly frustrated over legislators' failure to approve a "right-to-work" constitutional amendment that would limit union power. At least 21 states have such restrictions.
A pillar of GOP financing in years past, Cummins' support could be especially critical for Republicans, who have seen contributions drop off as their money troubles mount.
Senate Majority Leader Dave Senjem, R-Rochester, said he has not talked personally with Cummins recently but would not be surprised if he withheld contributions. "He was pretty tied in to the right-to-work issue, and I think that was his main legislative priority. I don't think I would expect a lot of help out of him given that we didn't advance that," Senjem said.
Cummins, who seldom talks to reporters, did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Beyond being a major source of financing for legislative campaign committees, Cummins has also served as a "thought leader" among conservative givers. As he backs away, others could join him.
His frustration could compound Republicans' money problems and hinder their attempt to hang on to their legislative majorities. The state Republican Party has been digging out from a huge debt and may not be able to offer legislative campaigns much financial help.
"He has a lot of the same base frustration that activists have," said one source who knows Cummins well and has spoken to him and his staff recently.
The source said Cummins' thought is: "If you are not supporting the same political agenda that I'm supporting, then why should I support you?"
Big bucks
Cummins, who made his fortune in specialty printing equipment used by most of the nation's Fortune 500 companies, has been the single biggest donor to Republican House campaigns in recent years. He gave $865,000 to House Republicans between 2006 and 2011 alone. Senate Republicans, who took over that chamber for the first time in generations in 2010, also have gotten significant contributions from Cummins.
"His absence would be felt, no doubt, in caucus fundraising," said former House Minority Leader Marty Seifert.
Last year, the House caucus reported just over $1 million in donations. Cummins' $125,000 gift was the largest. The Senate reported $856,000 in fundraising. Cummins and his wife, Joan, donated $125,000 to the Senate Victory Committee.
Besides his contributions to the party campaigns, Cummins has given heavily to the Freedom Club, a group that supports conservative lawmakers. That group, established in 1995, has raised about $2 million since 1998, with Cummins contributing more than a quarter of that.
The Freedom Club, which has spent about $1.8 million on past legislative races, had $280,550 on hand earlier this month. Cummins, several sources said, might increase his giving to the club. That group can pick which Republicans candidates to back. The caucuses are not designed to pick campaign favorites. Cummins can also give to individual candidates' campaigns, as he has in the past, although the size of those contributions is limited by law.
"Instead of being against Republicans, he and others will be more choosy early in the process," Seifert said.
To be sure, both legislative campaign efforts have other big givers, although none at Cummins' level of generosity.
"We have all kinds of donors," said House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove. Zellers said he has not talked to Cummins recently. Neither Zellers nor House Majority Leader Matt Dean professed knowledge of Cummins' displeasure.
Stanley Hubbard, who has given almost $200,000 to the House caucus and about $50,000 to the Senate caucus over the past decade, was more open about his frustration over the Republicans' failure to push a right-to-work amendment.
"I would like to have seen that get on the ballot or have a law pass offering freedom of choice," said Hubbard, chairman of Hubbard Broadcasting. But he did not say he would withhold contributions.
Never had the votes to pass
Senjem said that despite the high interest of Cummins and others in such an amendment, legislative support just wasn't there.
"Honestly, we didn't have the votes," Senjem said. "There were not 34 votes or frankly anywhere close to 34 votes." That's the number needed in the Senate to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Charlie Weaver, executive director of the Minnesota Business Partnership, said while being a right-to-work state might help job growth, putting it on the ballot this year would have been "unwise from a political perspective."
"Not this year, not this election. At some point? Sure," Weaver said.
Neither the partnership nor other influential business groups pushed the proposal.
Unions would have pounced on Minnesota had it passed and poured tens of millions of dollars into the state, turning the state's elections into a madhouse, several Republicans said.
"I believe that, frankly, the caucus leaders were intimidated by opposition coming into this election," Thompson said.
The sole hearing the Legislature had on the issue in March was nearly drowned out by chanting union protesters. Unions have begun sending mailings into the districts of legislators who supported the move.
If Republicans manage to keep control of the Legislature, the issue may be back. "It will certainly be something we look at revisiting," Senjem said.

I was invited to try Xtreme Lashes, done by the lovely Esme Winterflood – a make up artist by trade who has also trained in applying lash extensions.
Lash extensions are glorious, although there are pros and cons. One of the major cons is damage to the lashes – depending on how good your technician is, you can really end up with a lot less lashes after the whole process is over.
Esme took some time talking to me about this – essentially, in the hands of a good technician your lashes should be fine. I have certainly found that the more heavy handed the application, the more damage is caused to my lashes.
Esme talked to me about what I wanted – I wanted long, glam and curly. She choose something that was long enough, but not too long with a C-curl. Meanwhile I drifted off to sleep (must've been my hayfever but my throat was so sore when I got up!).
Here is the result:
What I noticed about Esme's application is that she is quite gentle. I've had some real tugging with other applications…
I also really like the lashes – long enough with curl to lift my own lashes, but not over the top.
Another big pro about these lashes is that they are very comfortable to wear. As lashes start to grow out I do, personally find them a little uncomfortable. These have been quite nice to wear so far, quite light and I don't have much urge to pull at them.Downside to these lashes – nothing really. These are one of the favourite lashes I've had done so far because they are comfy to wear, natural looking and quite glam.
You have to put in an amount of care into these lashes – no oil based eye make up removers, no scrubbing at them of course.
Overall I really liked Xtreme Lashes – the whole experience was painless and I think my new lashes are rather swish!
How do you think they compare to my other lashes with Sue Marsh, Flutter and Jinny?
For information and prices, call Esme on 07931 514 785o or email for prices.

John Travolta is one of Hollywood's most beloved and hardworking actors, but he credits his success to one thing – "Welcome Back, Kotter."
And John revealed how indebted he is to the 1970's television show that made him a star during an interview alongside his "From Paris with Love" co-star Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
"It's where I got my start," John told Jonathan as the two were interviewed by Access Hollywood's Billy Bush on Friday in New York City. "I wouldn't be sitting here next to you today if it weren't for 'Welcome Back, Kotter.'"
Jonathan, who grew up in Ireland, hadn't heard of the series, but listened attentively as John reminisced about his early days as an actor.
"[19]75… I was 21… I got the pilot," John recounted. "Then you have to wait. You have to wait three months with baited breath and then they finally let you know [if the show gets picked up].
"When we [were paired] with 'Happy Days.' I knew we were an automatic hit," he added.

I just got this press release yesterday (article abstract here):
Piscataway, N.J. – June 2, 2008 – A major review in Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice reveals that research indicates people who are obese may be more likely to become depressed, and people who are depressed may be more likely to become obese.To understand the potential links between obesity and depression, researchers led by Sarah M. Markowitz, M.S., examined the correlational data that suggest a connection between the conditions and found evidence for causal pathways from obesity to depression and depression to obesity.
People who are obese may be more likely to become depressed because they experience themselves as in poor health and are dissatisfied with their appearance. This occurrence was particularly prevalent among women and those of high socio-economic status.
People who are depressed may be more likely to become obese because of physiological changes in their hormone and immune systems that occur in depression. Also, they have more difficulty taking good care of themselves because of symptoms and consequences of depression, such as difficulty adhering to fitness regiments, overeating, and having negative thoughts.
Treatments such as exercise and stress reduction can help to manage both obesity and depression at the same time. Potentially, dieting, which can worsen mood, and antidepressants, which can cause weight gain, should be minimized.
"The treatment of depression and obesity should be integrated," the authors conclude. "This way, healthcare providers are working together to treat both conditions, rather than each in isolation."
This is not the first time that a correlation between fat and depression has been posited, but it's remarkable because the researchers actually seem to have noticed that the causality could run both ways. Instead of treating this as yet another danger of fat, they've (rather miraculously) said "wait a minute, maybe fat stigma is depressing. Maybe the stress of being fat in a hostile culture can either mimic or trigger clinical depression." And how much do I love "experience themselves as in poor health"? They don't actually say here that fat people ARE in poor health; instead, they acknowledge that fat people are constantly being told they're in poor health, which as we know is a bigger health risk than being fat.
Once again I am convinced that FA is so much healthier for the general population than diet culture, no matter what our detractors might say. So fat leads to depression and depression leads to fat, huh? Well, what's more likely to throw a wrench in that cycle — the people telling you that you will be ugly, unlovable, fatigued, ill, and not worth caring for unless you become smaller? Or the people telling you that you are worth caring for, worth nourishing, that you can participate in mood-elevating exercise for the joy of it instead of for punishment, that it's possible for you to have a sense of health and well-being in your body, that your body is not a death sentence (any more than anyone else's)? Our way might not wind up with fewer fat people, but we're sure as hell going to have fewer depressed people. And isn't that more important, really?
Well, that's the problem — most people, including the researchers, don't seem to think so. To be fair, the study is also remarkable because it calls for minimizing diets, "which can worsen mood" (ya think?). But what's with the call to reduce antidepressant use? This is grievously irresponsible. Rio put it best, in her "Fat is a Symptom, Not a Disease" series:
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would be so upset over the associated weight gain, when the drugs often make a person feel as if his or her life is worth living again. I'm tired of hearing the fatophobes shrieking about it, trying their damnedest to drag down those who have finally been able to stand up again, just because their bodies are different.
So tell me, fat-haters, are you really so shallow and juvenile that you would rather see someone institutionalized than fat? Hanging themselves instead of fat? I've really begun to wonder if the fat-hate is not just about fat, but about an excuse to be misanthropic to anyone who is socially vulnerable. After all, the mentally ill you used as a punching bag in ages past have now become functional fat people, so whom are you going to punch in their place?
Of course, if someone doesn't need antidepressants, and can get by with a new attitude (*cough*FA*cough*), decent nutrition for a change, regular exercise, a supportive therapist, etc., I am all for that. I'm sure that not everyone who's depressed over being fat is suffering from a neurotransmitter imbalance; many are just reacting rationally to a hostile environment. And even some of us who do have neurotransmitter problems can get by fine most days without drugs, and overall I'm in favor of that, at least for me (I just don't have the free time to embark on the medical odyssey of Finding the Right Antidepressant, since the wrong one is often so catastrophic, and meanwhile I can get along without them). I am not saying that anyone who exhibits symptoms of depression should be medicated. But to halfway acknowledge with one hand that fat stigma might be the problem, and on the other hand to discourage medication because it might make people fat? That is egregious victim-blaming, tantamount to saying "well, people can be cruel, and the best way to avoid that is to fit in perfectly." If people are left unmedicated, it should be because they don't need medication or prefer to have it as a last resort — NOT because it might contribute to a body that invites stigma. I appreciate the desire to reduce the levels of body-related stress that fat and depressed people are experiencing, but refusing to treat the stress because it might exacerbate the stressor is just nonsense. It's like handing out plastic surgery to combat teenage angst.
In any event, this is a good reminder: While you're exploring intuitive eating and exercise for its own sake and all that physically healthy stuff you thought was off-limits because you were fat, don't forget to keep an eye on your mental health too. It's reasonable to feel burdened sometimes, by expectations and stereotypes and mistreatment, but if you can't climb out from under the stress (about your body, or about anything in your life), don't neglect self-care in that regard. In the U.S., many cities have women's centers that offer sliding-scale counseling, if you don't have access to a therapist. Remember that stress and depression, whether or not it can make you fat as these researchers claim, is certainly more unhealthy for you than fat itself.

Full Spectrum: Prints from the Brandywine Workshop
Since its founding in 1972, the Brandywine Workshop has become an internationally recognized center for printmaking and a vital part of the Philadelphia community. In 2009 the workshop donated one hundred prints to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in memory of its late director Anne d'Harnoncourt. Full Spectrum celebrates this generous gift and documents and contextualizes the workshop's achievements over its distinguished forty-year history.All one hundred prints by the eighty-nine artists represented in the gift-including John Biggers, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Joyce de Guatemala, Sam Gilliam, Mei-Ling Hom, Jacob Landau, Kenneth Noland, Betye and Alison Saar, and Kay Walkingstick-are beautifully reproduced. Cultural identity, political and social issues, portraiture, landscape, patterning, and pure abstraction are some of the many subjects explored in these works, underscoring the breadth of the workshop's conceptual and stylistic reach. About the authors
Ruth Fine is an art historian and former curator of modern prints and drawings at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Allan L. Edmunds is president and founder of the Brandywine Workshop.

Some of you may remember last summer Marc Hauser was found guilty of research misconduct. This investigation raised questions about several publications including a paper from 2007 in Science. This paper looked into the ability of non-human primates to understand the intentions of a human experimenter by interpreting his gestures.
Today Science has published a partial replication of the study in question which confirms the original findings that chimpanzees, cotton-top tamarins, and rhesus macaques can distinguish intentional gestures, such as pointing to indicate a container with food inside, from "accidental" actions such as a hand flopping against a container.
The Science wesite states the following:
Following the Harvard misconduct investigation, first author Justin Wood, now an assistant professor at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, wrote to Science in June 2010 to notify the journal that the investigation had revealed that the original field notes for the rhesus experiments could not be found:
"An internal examination at Harvard University determined that there are no field notes, records of aborted trials, or subject identifying information associated with the rhesus monkey experiments; however, the research notes and videotapes for the tamarin and chimpanzee experiments were accounted for. Professor Hauser states that "most of the rhesus monkey observations were hand written by [co-author David D.] Glynn on a piece of paper, and then the daily results tallied and reported to Wood over email or by phone" and then the raw data were discarded. The research assistant who performed the experiments (Glynn) confirmed that these field notes were discarded."
Hauser and Wood returned to Cayo Santiago island in Puerto Rico to redo the experiments from the 2007 paper with the same population of free-ranging rhesus monkeys. Their findings, including field notes and video trials, are available online and they essentially match those reported in the original paper.
It is still not known what went wrong with the original experiment, a statement issued by Science today only says the following:
We stress that this new publication aims only to determine whether the original rhesus monkey experiments from the 2007 paper can be replicated. It has no bearing on questions raised about Dr. Hauser's larger body of work.
This article from Science Inside quotes Dario Maestriperi as saying:
"The results of this replication are straightforward and entirely consistent with those of the original study. If the authors' interpretation of their results is correct, these findings are very important and represent one of the clearest demonstrations that nonhuman primates can interpret the behavior of other individuals as intentional or non-intentional….Since the experimenter who tested the rhesus monkeys in the replication study appeared from the video to be the first author on the paper, Justin Wood, he was clearly knowledgeable of the hypotheses being tested and had some strong expectations and desires about the monkeys' performance on the test."
So is this replication a clarification of groundbreaking findings or could the monkey's behaviour be down to the Clever Hans effect?
Meanwhile investigations into Hauser's research are still ongoing and he is still banned from teaching for the next academic year.

Hey guys! I AM new to this site, yet I like to think I know quite a bit about stego
thinking about creating a website called The Stegosaurus, with information, quests, and hidden messages all throughout the page.
Any suggestions?

Default Customer Options
Before creating customer accounts, or allowing your customers to create their own accounts, it is important for you to configure your customer settings. To do so, navigate to System > Configuration and select the Customer Configuration tab in the left column.
Account Sharing Options
Share Customer Accounts – When a customer creates an account in a given Store View, that account will be shared with every Store View in the same Website if you select Per Website. If you select Global, that account will be shared will be shared with every store view in every Website that you have created.
Create New Account Options
Email Template – Select the template for the email that will be sent to a customer when they create a new account. There is more information on how to configure these templates later in the chapter.
Email Sender – Designate the address from which New Account emails will be sent to your customers. There is more information on how to configure these addresses later in the chapter.
Default Email Domain – This field is primarily used during admin Order creation. In this process, the email field is optional. If it is left blank, Magento will automatically generate an email address to associate to the Order. The format will be [Customer ID]@[Default Email Domain]. During this process there is a checkbox allowing you send an Email Order Confirmation. If you left the email field blank, you would not want to send an Order email. The automatically generated email is fictitious, so it would bounce back.
Default Group – Designate the Customer Group that will be assigned to all customers when they first create an account. This drop-down will list all existing Customer Groups other than NOT LOGGED IN. There is more information about Customer Groups later in the chapter.
Need to Confirm – Select whether or not you customers will need to send an email confirmation reply in order to activate their account.
Password Options
Forgot Email Template – Select the template for the email that will be sent to a customer when they click the Forgot Your Password? link during log in.
Forgot Email Sender – Designate the address from which the Forgot Password emails will be sent to you customers.
Contact Options and Emails
Throughout Magento there are options to send your customers email notifications for various purposes, from newsletter subscription, to invoice creation. Each option requires you to select the template of the email, and the address from which the email will be sent. Each of these two aspects is configured in a different location. In addition to being able to contact your customers for various purposes, you also have the ability to allow your customers to contact you via the Contact Us feature.
Editing Email Templates
To create new email templates, navigate to System > Transactional Emails, and click Add New Template in the top right of the page.
Template – From this drop-down, you can select one of the many pre-existing email templates that are included with Magento by default. These have been created for a number of purposes, including currency rate update warnings, Order updates from the admin, and product stock alerts.
Locale – If you have Locales other than English (United States) installed, you can select one of those Locales from this drop-down prior to loading the pre-existing templates. This will load the selected template in the corresponding language of that Locale. Click Load Template and the template data will load into the Template Subject and Template Content fields, where you can customize them for your store.
Template Name – This is the name of the template as it will appear in the drop-down menus throughout the admin, where you can select to use this template for various purposes.
Template Subject – This is the subject of the email that will be sent when you designate to use this template. This can be loaded from a pre-existing template above, or you can create your own.
Template Content – This is the body of the email that will be sent when you designate to use this template. This can be loaded from a pre-existing template above, or you can create your own. All stylization must be in HTML format.
At the top of the page there are buttons which offer several more features. If you have loaded a pre-existing template, or if you have created your own using HTML tags, you can click Convert to Plain Text. This will remove all HTML tags in the Template Content field and display only the text. You can then return the tags by clicking Return Html Version. If you leave the tags, you can click Preview Template, which will load the Template Content into the browser window so that you can see the formatted content as it will display to your customers in the email. When you are finished with your edits, click Save Template, and you will be able to select this template to send to your customers for various purposes. It will also add to the template list, where you can Preview each template by clicking Preview in the Action column, or edit the template by clicking on it.
Email Sender
To configure the addresses from which your customer emails will be sent, navigate to System > Configuration, and select the Store Email Addresses. There are five different sender to which you can associate an email address: General contact, Sales representative, Customer support, Customer email 1, and Customer email 2. For each of these senders, you must designate the Sender name, which is the name that will appear in the drop-down menus throughout the admin (where you can select to use these Senders for various purposes), and the name that will appear next to the Sender Email in the emails sent to your customers. You must also designate the Sender email, which is the address from which the emails (that you associate to this Sender) will be sent.
Contact Us
If you wish to allow your customers to be able to send comments to you via email, Magento offers a Contact Us feature. In order to enable this, navigate to System > Configuration, click the Contacts tab from the left column, and select Yes from the Enable Contact Us drop-down. This will create a Contact Us link in the footer of you site on the front-end. When your customers click this link, they will be directed to the Contact Us page, which enables them to enter their name, email address, telephone number, and a comment. When they click Submit, this information will be sent via email to the address entered in the Send Emails To drop-down in the same configuration page as above. The Email Sender drop-down determines the address from which the email will be sent to the specified address. The Email Template drop-down determines the template that the email will use.
Creating Customers
Customer accounts can be created multiple ways. Perhaps the most typical method to create an account is for your customers to do so themselves in the front-end. However, Magento allows you to create new customer accounts in the admin.
In Front-end
There are two sections in the front-end where your customers may choose to register and create a new customer account: Log In and Checkout. The process for both of these is very similar.
Log In
In the top right of your store is a Log In link. When a customer clicks here, they will have the option to log in using their pre-existing account, or, if they don't already have an account, they can create one by clicking Create an Account. This will redirect them to the Create an Account page, which will require them to enter their First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Password (they will have to confirm the password as well). They will also have the option to sign up for the newsletter by checking the checkbox. When they click Submit, the customer account will be created in Magento, and the customer will by redirected to the My Account page. There is more information later in the chapter about the features offered to your customers in this page.
If a customer is not logged in when they click the Proceed to Checkout button, they will have the option to log in using their pre-existing account, or, if they don't already have an account, Checkout as Guest (if you have enabled this) or create a new account by selecting Register. If they select Register, and click Continue, they will be redirected to the standard one-page checkout page. This is the same process that previously registered customers go through when checking out, except that the First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Password fields will be blank. When all of the information is entered and the Order is submitted, a new account will be created using the information used in the checkout, including the address information, which will automatically be saved to the account.
In Admin
To create a new customer account in the admin, navigate the Customers > Manage Customers and click Add New Customer in the top right of the page. This is the same process that your customers will go through on the front-end, with some small differences.
Account Information
Create In – This is the Website in which this account will be created. You can also choose to create it in the Admin. If you have configured customer accounts to share Per Website, this will affect in which Websites your customers will have accounts. If customer accounts are shared Globally, this has little effect.
Customer Group – You have the option to select the Customer Group to which this customer will be assigned. Customers who create an account on the front-end will automatically be assigned to the Customer Group designated in System > Configuration, as described above. There is more information about Customer Groups below.
Send welcome email – By checking this checkbox you can choose to send a new account email to the customer. This is the email you designated in System > Configuration, as described above. Customers who create an account on the front-end will automatically receive this email.
Password – You will not be required to confirm the password, because the characters are not hidden in this field. Instead of entering a password manually, you can check the checkbox to auto-generate a password for the customer. Either way, the password will be included in the email sent to the customer.
In the Addresses tab, you will have the option to enter one or more addresses for this account while creating it. For each address you wish to create, click Add New Address. As you enter the information in the fields on the right, the address manager panel on the left will update. The address manager panel will have a separate entry for each address, and you can designate which address is the Default Billing Address and which is the Default Shipping Address by selecting the radio button. The default addresses will automatically be selected from the address drop-down each time an order is placed with this account in the admin or front-end. When an address is selected as either of the defaults, the red X button will disappear, because it will not be able to be deleted.
When you are finished, click Save Customer. Once a customer has been created, you will have access to several additional tabs in the left column. There is more information later in the chapter about the features offered in these tabs.
Customer Groups
For each customer who has an account in your store, you have the option to configure a Customer Group. Customer Groups are a means to apply other features in Magento to groups of customers all at once. This is useful in many areas, from allowing certain customers to use Catalog and Shopping Cart Price Rules, to assigning Customer Tax Classes.
Creating Customer Groups
To create Customer Groups, navigate to Customers > Customer Groups, and click Add New Customer Group in the top right of the page.
Group Name – Enter the name of the Customer Group as if will appear throughout the admin.
Tax class – Each Customer Group will have one Customer Tax Class assigned to it. Select that tax class from this drop-down, which will list all existing tax classes you've created in Sales > Tax > Customer Tax Classes. Tax classes are not assigned directly to customers, but rather to Customer Groups, which are then assigned directly to customers. For more information about Taxes, refer back to Chapter 4: Get Ready for Selling.
By default, Magento comes with two Customer Groups: NOT LOGGED IN and General. NOT LOGGED IN is the default Customer Group for all customers who have not created an account, such as those who have used Guest Checkout or Google Checkout (if you have enabled those features), which do not require creating an account in Magento. General is the default Customer Group for newly registered customers, although this can be changed in System > Configuration, as described earlier in the chapter. Neither of these Customer Groups can be deleted, and the Group Name for NOT LOGGED IN cannot be edited. When you are finished, click Save Customer Group, and you can now assign this group to your customers.
Managing Customer Groups
Assigning Customers to Customer Groups
Now that you have set up all of your Customer Groups, you can assign them to customers by navigating to Customer > Manage Customers. When customers first create an account, they will be assigned to the Customer Group you designated in System > Configuration as described earlier in the chapter. To re-assign the customer to a new Customer Group, locate the customer and click the Edit button in the Action column. Click the Account Information tab in the left column. You can select a new Customer Group in the Customer Group drop-down, which lists all existing Customer Groups other than NOT LOGGED IN. There are also a few other places where you can change a customer's Customer Group, such as when creating a new order in the admin, or creating a reorder in the admin. To re-assign the Customer Group for several customers at once, refer to Batch Updates below.
Using Customer Groups as filters
There are several places in Magento where you can filter features to only apply to certain Customer Groups. You can filter Catalog Price Rules by navigating to Promotions > Catalog Price Rules, and you can filter Shopping Cart Price Rules by navigating to Promotions > Shopping Cart Price Rules. There is more information about both of these feature in Chapter 5: Promotions, Marketing, and Content Pages. You can filter Tier Pricing by navigating to Catalog > Manage Products, selecting a product and clicking the Prices tab. More information about this feature can also be found in Chapter 5.
Batch Updates to Customers
Similar to Batch Updates for products, this feature saves you time by allowing you to change certain settings for multiple customers at the same time. To make Batch Updates to customers, navigate to Customers > Manage Customers. Select the customers to which you would like to make updates. At the top of the customers list, you have the option to Select All customers or Select Visible customers (customers currently displaying on the page). Or, you can simply check the checkboxes of each customer to which you wish to make updates individually. You can see the number of items selected at the top of the customers list, and it will update each time a checkbox is checked or unchecked. When you have all the desired customers selected, chose your preferred Action from the drop-down menu, also at the top of the customers list.
Delete – This will delete the selected customers from your catalog when you press Submit.
Subscribe to/Unsubscribe from newsletter – This will subscribe/unsubscribe the selected customers to/from the newsletter when you press Submit.
Assign a customer group – Selecting this will produce a Group drop-down menu to the right, which lists all existing Customer Groups other than NOT LOGGED IN. Select a Customer Group, and this will be assigned to the selected customers when you press Submit.
Front-End and Back-End functionality for Customer Accounts
Once a customer has created an account, and logs in they will have access to features on the front-end that they otherwise would not have. This includes the My Account page, My Wishlist, and Checkout with Multiple Addresses.
My Account
When a customer clicks on the My Account link, they will be taken to the Account Dashboard. This is a summary of the most important account information, including Recent Orders, the general Contact Information, Newsletter status, default addresses, and Recent Reviews. If they click Edit for any of these options, they will be redirected to the corresponding tab of the more detailed My Account page. This offers more even more account information.
Account Dashboard
Takes the customer back to the summary page.
Address Book
Lists the Default Billing Address, Default Shipping Address (these are listed separately even if they are the same address, unlike in the admin), and all additional addresses with the option to edit each individually.
Account Information
Here the customer can edit the general contact information, including the account password.
My Orders
Lists all Orders placed by the customer, with more detailed information available when View Order is clicked. Here, the order status of each Order can be tracked by the customer via RSS feeds (refer back to Chapter 5 for more details). Additionally, if an Invoice, Shipment, or Credit Memo has been created for an Order, an About this Order bar will appear above the Order information, containing an Invoices, Shipments, or Refunds link, respectively (or a combination of multiple links). Each link will contain more detailed information about all related Invoices, Shipments, or Credit Memos, with the ability for your customer to print a copy of each individually, or copies of all Invoices, Shipments, or Credit Memos simultaneously. Shipments have an additional feature. If a Shipment has one or more associated tracking numbers, your customer will have the ability to Track this shipment or Track all shipments, which will open a pop-up window containing the shipment status, which Magento receives directly from the shipment gateway. There is more information about Invoices, Shipments, and Credit Memos in Chapter 8: Managing Orders.
My Product Reviews
Lists all product reviews placed by the customer, with and a link to the product, and more detailed information when View Details is clicked.
Newsletter Subscription
Lists all newsletters, with a checkbox next to the ones to which the customer is subscribed.
My Wishlist
List all products that the customer has added to the wishlist, with an option to add comments and add each item to the cart. When the customer is logged in, they can also see a quick view of their wishlist in the right column, below the shopping cart feature. Additionally, the number of items in the wishlist will display next to the My Wishlist button at the top of the page.
Checkout with Multiple Addresses
In order to be able to use this feature, the customer must have an account and be logged in. Checkout as Guest is not available for this checkout process, even if you have enabled it. Additionally, there is no option to Register during checkout. If a customer does not already have an account, they will have the option to Create an Account, which must be completed as a separate process before they can proceed to the checkout page. For more information about Checkout with Multiple Address, refer back to Chapter 4: Get Ready for Selling.
Once a customer account is created, you will have access to more features in the admin than are available when creating an account in the admin. These features include those available to the customer in the My Account page on the front-end, along with several additional features.
Customer View
This is a summary of the customer's information, including the most recent time and date the customer logged in, whether the customer is online currently, the time and date the account was created, the store in which the account was created, the Customer Group, Primary Billing Address, a summary of lifetime purchase information grouped by store, a list of all Recent Orders, and the items currently in the Shopping Cart and Wishlist.
Account Information
This includes the general contact information, and has the same functionality as when originally creating and account from the admin. It will also list the Website and Store View in which the account was created.
This includes all the customer's addresses, and has the same functionality as when originally creating an account from the admin.
Lists all Orders created by the customer, or created for the customer from the admin. Clicking on an order will redirect to the Order page, which contains for detailed information and has additional features, such as creating Invoices and Shipments. For more information about these features, refer to Chapter 8:Managing Orders.
Shopping Cart
Lists all products currently in the customer's Shopping Cart, with the option to Delete each product. Clicking on a product will redirect you to that product's page in the admin.
Lists all products currently in the customer's Wishlist, with the option to Delete each product. Clicking on a product will redirect you to that product's page in the admin.
Here you can subscribe or unsubscribe this customer from the newsletter, as well as view a list of all the newsletters of which this customer is a recipient. This looks very similar to the Newsletter Queue, and includes both Sent and Not Sent newsletters.
Product Reviews
Lists all Product Reviews submitted by the customer, and clicking on a Review will redirect you to that review's page in the admin.
Product Tags
Lists all Product Tags submitted by the customer, and clicking on a Tag will redirect you to that tag's page in the admin.
Online Customers
You can see a list of every customer that is currently logged in by navigating to Customers > Online Customers. This list even includes customers who are not logged in. They are referred to as Visitors, and the First Name for all Visitors will be Guest. For each customer, you will be able to see the IP address from which they are accessing your site, the time their session began, the time of the most recent activity in your site, and the most recent URL they visited. When you click on a logged in customer, you will be redirected to that customer's page in the admin.

Our last tech 3 year tech plan included providing teachers with a tablet PC and a mounted wireless projector. It was very exciting to see all of these projectors being installed and teachers standing with their wireless tablet projecting to the screen.
Remember the good old days of an overhead projector and reusing acetate until we could no longer effectively clean off all of the vis a vis marker? I'm sure this made teaching seem to enter the technology age at the time. Then there was the innovation of the overhead with a document reader. Woah!!!! This meant that you could actually plop the text book right on the overhead and display content on the screen. Talk about advancements!
Next comes the overhead that we put on a cart and loaned out through the media center when needed. Another great advancement! We could connect the projector to our computer and share information from the computer screen on a large screen. We could show videos, etc. as long as the projector was connected via a VGA cable directly to the computer. A small (but huge) advancement was to begin mounting these from the ceiling and initially still being hardwired with a vga cable and then soon wireless. I remember when we replaced all of the projectors that still required a hard wired connection with wireless so that all classrooms had the capability. Don't get me wrong. I valued this advancement greatly and took full advantage. However, we began to see the limitations of our infastructure as people started streaming YouTube videos wirelessly (without much success). So, it often became necessary to revert back to a hard wired connection in order to display your desired presentation or video.
This brings me back to my initial thought. Wouldn't it be great to have a mounted flat panel TV in every classroom. The TV could be connected directly to the network via ethernet. This would help with infastructure issues. Internet connectable TVs would allow for certain access without the need for the computer. With the remote control, a teacher could show YouTube videos, access Netflix on demand, among many other widgets. There are also 'smart TVs' out now that would certainly offer much more. The TV inputs allow for HDMI, VGA, among others, so connecting the computer to the TV and using the TV in lieu of the projector is no problem. The HDMI point becomes even more important now that certain handhelds and tablets are providing HDMI out. the HDMI cable is light, so connecting your iPad 2 or similar HDMI tablet to the TV would be a breeze and allow for such great flexibility as you stand holding the light tablet as a teaching tool.
Prices are going down to a point that this solution is as reasonable (if not more reasonable) than projectors were when we purchased and installed them. Currently, the TV option is a bit more expensive (not terribly) than the projector, but I believe it offers so much more.
I teach a Video Game Design and Development course, so the idea of hooking our class Xbox to the HDTV is especially alluring,
**I don't know much about them, but there are Internet Connectable TVs and Smart TVs. Perhaps another post will focus on the Smart TVs. I can only imagine that they would provide even more flexibility in terms of incorporating content right from the TV without a computer or tablet.
Exciting stuff, no?
A few questions that I hope you will respond to in order to deepen the value of this conversation...
- Have you experienced the implementation of a flat screen HDTV as an alternative to a projector in the classroom?
- Can you think of advantages / disadvantages to the idea of moving from projectors to HDTVs?

Q: Can Aquatic Weeds Go Dormant?
Jackie – Kalamazoo, MI
A: Yes, those insidious aquatic weeds can go dormant in the cold season, lying in wait in your lake's muck and sediment, until spring when the hours of sunlight and temperatures increase. The good news is that you can battle them – even in their overwintering state. Here's how.
Growth Patterns
When temperatures drop and the sun hovers lower in the sky, you'll start to see those aquatic weeds retreat and hole up for the winter. The duration of their dormancy will depend on where you live (the weed growth patterns in a California pond, for instance, will differ from those in a Minnesota pond!). But, in general, you can expect to see different pond weeds disappear and reappear at different times of year based on environmental temperatures.
If your pond or lake freezes over, the perennial weeds will typically die back in the winter and re-emerge in the spring. Some plants, however, will continue to grow throughout the cold season, though at a much slower rate than you'd see in the warmer summer months.
Controlling Winter Weeds
Because you'll probably see little to no greenery growing, it will be a challenge to control winter weeds. Methods that work in the spring and summer – like treating with temperature-sensitive herbicides and algaecides – won't work in the colder temperatures. So what can you do? Here's what we recommend:
- Remove Weeds: If there's no ice on your pond, you can pull on your hip waders and manually remove the weeds with a Weed Raker. This go-to tool efficiently pulls out aquatic weeds by their roots, slowing their regrowth, and also removes decaying matter.
- Pond Dye: Pond Dye, available in convenient liquid quarts, will shade the water blue or black and reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the weeds and algae growing at the bottom of your lake. Less sunlight means fewer weeds, regardless of the temperature or time of year.
- Aerate the Water: If you're not using your lake as an ice rink, crank on your Airmax® Aeration System. The action created by the aerator will circulate the water and reduce the muck buildup throughout the winter.
- Feeding Fish: Your fish will enter into a semi-dormant state when the water dips below 50 degrees, so there's no need to feed them. Doing so will add to the lake's nutrient load (i.e. weed fertilizer …), which is not what you want to do.
If wintertime weeds are taking over your pond, consider trying some of these time-tested tricks. They'll minimize the nuisance growth during the cold season and reduce the amount of work you'll need to do in the spring.

He was pretty much just acting it up for the camera. But what freakin moron would smack the spine of a sword on the table anyways?!
Quote:of course theyd say he wasnt hurt. but look at teh video. he says its razor sharp, and when he is hit, he folds like a futon. You dont act that well on the shoping channel. They had to replace the guy. And if thats a paul chen sword, then masahiro makes the best.edited to fix quote

Our experience over many years is, that this most critical element of a vision system is often underestimated. To select the appropriate illumination for a demanding task with the understanding of why different types of illumination are best suited for specific applications, requires experience and extensive knowledge. Often, even with this experience the only way to to gain confidence in the reliability of an approach is to undertake evaluation trials. At STEMMER IMAGING we have an evaluation laboratory with a wide range of illumination equipment allowing customers to either visit and experiment or send samples for us to undertake a free feasibility study.
A decisive factor when designing the illumination for an application is ensuring that changes in the environmental lighting do not affect the inspection results. If an application requires several stages of software preprocessing before the image can be analysed, the illumination should be re-evaluated, as optimising the illumination can often eliminate the need for costly and time consuming image manipulation and give a far better and more stable overall result.
Because cameras are much less versatile and flexible than the human eye, the illumination needs to be optimised, so that a camera can detect errors that the human eye can see even under poor conditions. Cameras do not see objects; instead, they only see the light reflected from them. By controlling the illumination, one can control how objects appear to the camera. For example, light is reflected differently from a ball bearing than from a flat white label or a printed circuit board and therefore different illumination techniques are required for each.
In the early days of vision, illumination systems were often hand-made for each application. Nowadays, rather than trying to design and develop custom illumination systems, there are many benefits to using off-the-shelf illumination solutions:
saves time, money and R&D resources, easy access to advice and support
Proven and reliable
lots of units are already in use, long service life, minimal maintenance
high quality units are available in scalable quantities
Large variety
many different devices and techniques are available

If you think too much of our hard-earned money goes to government waste, you'd be right, but there are some notable exceptions, such as the local Coyote Creek and Guadalupe River trails.
I meandered out that way this morning to check out the fabulous paved Guadalupe River Trail from the airport to Montague Expressway. I haven't ridden it yet because the entryways are still being completed at Trimble Road. It looks like they'll be done by Thanksgiving. There's work going on beyond Montague as well, so it won't be long before we'll have another paved path to Alviso. Today you can take San Tomas Aquino Creek path most of the way to Alviso.
If you're someone who wants to know just how much use San Jose trails see, there's a 2012 trail report just for you. They're seeing substantial growth year to year.
While it's only about a half-mile, the gnarly stretch between Zanker Road and McCarthy Boulevard paralleling 237 on the north side is newly paved. Now if we could see the Coyote Creek path under Hwy 237 open, there would be some nice loop rides free of traffic. One of these days.
Finally, the 49ers stadium continues to progress. They're working on the nose-bleed section now. Fortunately the San Tomas Aquino Creek trail is being kept open during construction. They even have traffic control, and trail traffic has priority.

The tragic death of a homeless Polish man in a Dublin waste bin highlights the increasingly problem of indigent foreign nationals in the Irish capital. Henryk Piotrowski, 43, was accidentally crushed to death when the bin he was sleeping in was picked up by a trash truck in the center of the city on Thursday. His mangled body was found when the truck was unloaded on Friday at a recycling facility. Little is known about Piotrowski's life in Ireland, except that he came to the country a few years ago and had a drinking problem. Police detectives have notified his relatives in Poland. The Polish embassy in Dublin verified that Piotrowski came from Olsztyn, as city in north-eastern Poland.
As a Pole, Piotrowski was a member of Ireland's largest ethnic minority group. Tens of thousands of his countrymen migrated to Ireland in the wake of European Union enlargement in 2004 attracted by plentiful jobs, particularly in the booming construction sector. The 2011 Irish Census revealed that 120,000 Poles resided in Ireland, a figure that doubled in just five years. However, the bank collapse of 2008 and the recession in Ireland have thrown thousands, including Poles, out of work and into the streets.
BBC reported that many people seeking help in Irish soup kitchens and welfare agencies are Poles who cannot apply for state social welfare due to residency rules, while many other are also afflicted by alcoholism. "For many migrant homeless, there is no stability. They're often not eligible for social welfare and they can't access mainstream homeless services, so they have to ring up a free phone number every day and there's no guarantee of a bed," Alice Leahy, Director of TRUST, a homeless service agency, told the Irish Times.
The Times noted that Piotrowski ended up in the streets after the homeless hotel he was staying in – Frederick Hall in Dublin's northern inner city – kicked him and other Eastern European migrants out. A number of other foreign nationals who fell upon hard times have also died in similar circumstances, including a Czech man named Josef Pavelka, who died in Ennis, County Clare in May after living in a public toilet.
Father Peter McVerry, an activist for the homeless, told the Times that more and more poor migrants are ending up on Dublin's streets. "They may be at that last stage where they have hung on all they can but now they're really looking at a period of homelessness so they want to leave," he said.
McVerry also blasted the poor social services available to migrants. "The Irish can get a bed for six months in a hostel and it brings them at least some stability. But the non-Irish can only get a hostel bed for one night at a time," he stated. Alas, the Irish government has been repatriating many foreign nationals – in the first five months of this year, 153 destitute migrants were flown back to their native lands, versus 213 for all of last year.
Of course the financial collapse and resultant government austerity has been very hard on Irish nationals as well. A report in IrishHealth.com noted that "the dozens of people grimly laying out their blankets on Dublin pavements each evening are only the most evident aspect of a crisis that is also spilling out onto the streets of Cork, Waterford, Galway and other Irish towns. Emergency accommodation for the homeless is full to overflowing. Families are living in bed-and-breakfasts because there is nowhere else for them to stay. Unprecedented numbers of young people are living out of home."
The Simon Community, a homeless outreach facility, estimates that Ireland has at least 10,000 homeless people sleeping rough on the streets, including more than 1,000 young people in Greater Dublin alone, as unemploymnet remains stubbornly high at 13.5 percent.

Researchers investigating global issues now have an easy method for finding and using earth science data through a new technology developed by the Data Observation Network for Earth, or DataONE.
Understanding broad and complex environmental issues, for example climate change, increasingly relies on the discovery and analysis of massive datasets. But the amount of collected data — from historical field notes to real-time satellite data —means that researchers are now faced with an onslaught of options to locate and integrate information relevant to the issue at hand.
DataONE, a ten-institution team with several hundred Investigators, including researchers from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), is addressing this data dilemma with a number of cyberinfrastructure and educational tools to allow long-term access and usage of earth science data and information. The recently released ONESearch tool queries data centers located around the world for relevant earth science information and provides integrated access to science metadata and corresponding datasets.
Through DataONE, researchers from all over the world will be able to share their research and benefit from the total body of earth science. This level of collaboration is a necessity for accurate and robust science in wide-ranging, complex topics like climate change, sea-level rise, and invasive species.
For instance, to accurately model the likely effects from climate change, data from all corners of the globe have to be collected and analyzed. As a result, these datasets are enormous, and wading through them to find the most important pieces of information can be time-consuming and laborious.
DataONE simplifies this process by providing several tools, the underlying cyberinfrastructure, standards, and educational materials that streamline access to a multitude of earth science and environmental data. Now, through a single point, scientists have access to globally distributed, networked Earth observational data, best practices to share their data, and, most importantly, tools to use that they are already familiar with in managing and analyzing their data/research results.
"One common challenge in the environmental sciences is the need to find and merge multiple data streams in order to solve real-world problems," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "The availability of DataONE tools will accelerate progress on some of the most important issues facing society by providing standard solutions to these common, time-consuming hurdles."
DataONE's search tool, ONESearch, enables researchers to easily integrate previously incompatible datasets. For example, one DataONE working group has combined a database of amateur bird sightings with environment data layers about land use, protected areas, weather, and vegetation to make refined predictions about bird migration patterns. This activity, along with additional USGS data from the Gap Analysis Program, helped to produce the DOI State of the Birds report.
"DataONE is a powerful tool for collaborative research," said Mike Frame, Principal Investigator and USGS lead for involvement with DataONE. "Through it, scientists, land managers, policy makers, students, educators, and the public can benefit from research conducted around the world without having to pull all of the data together from a multitude of sources."
DataONE was made possible by a $20 million award through the National Science Foundation's DataNet program. The USGS is the primary Federal agency participating in this grant. Other partners in the DataONE collaboration include the other DOI Bureaus and other Federal agencies, including NASA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
About CSAS
USGS' primary involvement with DataONE comes through the USGS Core Science Systems Core Science Analytics and Synthesis Program (CSAS). With expertise in technology, information, and science, CSAS leads the management and delivery of scientific data and information for the USGS. USGS CSAS is also identifying and providing improved access to other critical data holdings from DOI Bureaus and other Federal Agencies, including NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency.
CSAS implements and promotes standards and best practices to enable efficient, data-driven science for decision making that supports a rapid response to emerging natural resource issues. CSAS has established the USGS DataONE Member Node to make USGS data more visible and discoverable within the DataONE network. Additionally, through CSAS participation in DataONE, USGS scientists will more easily access other Federal and non-Federal organizations' earth science data in support of their research endeavors. Finally, through CSAS contributions to best practices, educational modules, and community assessments, DataONE and USGS are providing scientists with sound, sustainable, and easy-to-use methods to ensure long-term availability of their data.

Federal Jurisdiction
Aspen Publishers, 2003 - Law - 1040 pages
Widely regarded as the core text in federal jurisdiction, Chemerinsky's treatise covers this complex area of law with unrivaled clarity and authority. His approach to the material is straightforward--first defining the law, next identifying unresolved issues, then examining the underlying policy ramifications. Chemerinsky treats doctrine and policy issues more thoroughly than other texts--always with a balanced view that articulates all sides of an issue. Designed to accompany any of the major casebooks, this title is frequently assigned as the course text by instructors who prefer to supply their own case materials. A cornerstone of federal jurisdiction courses, this leading treatise offers:
- an authoritative overview of federal jurisdiction that clearly states the current law, identifies unresolved issues, then explains the underlying doctrinal and policy debates
- a closer look at underlying doctrine than other texts, helping students to gain a better grasp of the fundamental legal issues and policy ramifications behind federal jurisdiction cases
- a balanced approach to arguments and case material, providing students with a well-rounded view of case precedent and a keen appreciation of the arguments on both sides of a given issueThis new 2003 edition has been thoroughly updated to include:
- new coverage of sovereign immunity in such cases as Florida Prepaid v. College Savings Bank, Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents, University of Alabama v. Garrett, Federal Maritime Commission v. South Carolina, and others
- more on restrictions of jurisdiction with particular attention to immigration cases such as St. Cyr v. INS and Zadvydas v. Davis, as well as parts of the USAPatriot Act and the Executive Order establishing military tribunals
- recent U.S. Supreme Court cases on habeas corpus covering the court's interpretations of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act in Williams v. Taylor, Tyler v. Cain, Artus v. Bennett, and others

I was walking along Bhaji Gully yesterday when I saw a crowd at a coconut shop.
It was Narali Purnima yesterday, the day that marks the beginning of the new fishing season. The fisherfolk offer coconuts to the sea, and pray for safety and a good catch (this year with the oil spills along the coast, they're going to need those prayers!)
Crowd at the coconut shop
What I didn't know is that the guys play a coconut breaking game on Narali Purnima. I chanced upon it suddenly, so it added a real dose of fun to the day!
Basically the game consists of two players, each buys a coconut from the shop, and then they try to break each other's coconut. The tougher nut wins :) :)
Stack of coconuts for sale, game in progress. Mr. Orange T-shirt gives it a go!
There is of course, a science behind the coconut selection. Too big, and the coconut will crack. Too small, and it won't be allowed in the game. Each player gets one turn to hit, and one turn to submit their coconut for hitting.
Give as good as you get
Sometimes, there's only a tiny crack on impact, and sweet coconut water comes spilling out. I saw the guys drinking the water by simply holding the coconut up over their mouths and letting the sweet water rush in. I wanted to go ask for some!
The coconut crack'd, nectar flowing!
I had never seen this festival celebrated this way before - have you? There was a lot of shouting and glee all through the thing; a bunch of guys having a total blast. I had fun photographing it!!

A message from Frederik Magle:
I am from time to time asked what kind of music I compose, either by people unfamiliar with it or by people who have heard some of my music but can't quite classify it. I always find myself unable to fully answer that question.
My foundation is unarguably the "classical music" of the western tradition and a majority of my compositions are listed as contemporary classical music, but that can mean many things. To me it simply means composing new (contemporary) music utilizing a measure of traditional (classical) techniques and methods. One such technique is writing scores for others to play, though not all classical music have to be written down; improvisations, for example, do not.
Regardless of how to classify or name it, all I really can say is that I compose - and play - the kind of music I myself like to hear without worries about genre, and I invite you to explore it here, letting the music speak for itself.
Feel free to contact me directly or through the music forums with any questions, comments, thoughts, and ideas you may have.«
Kind regards,
