Google+ Photos Replaces Picasa Web in the Navigation Bar
You can still go to Picasa Web Albums, but you have to bookmark the old URL or manually type it in the address bar. Google+ Photos lacks many of the features from Picasa Web Albums: Picnik integration, batch editing, entering an album description, ordering prints, creating album maps, moving photos to a different album and more. The interface is more user friendly, but it's not yet a full-fledged photo sharing app.
{ Thanks, Herin. }

this is a bad move. google+ photos is pretty crude at the moment. it is designed to consume photos not manage photos. you are correct. :(ReplyDeleteReplies
yes very dullDelete
Gee thats funny cuz I see it exactly the opposite. Its not dull at all, its retardedly busy and I prefer the old simple way.Delete
I agree! This was a very bad move for Google to confuse and mess it up for all of us. Why on this earth did they screw up what has been so user friendly and helpful for all of us? It seems like somebody gets a idea for themselves and forces implementation by a sneeky and tricky way... come on Google, stop inviting bad comments like you see here by leaving the normal and simple and easy to use program we all already know alone.Delete
I hate it and that's being mild and calm. How do I get back to it?Delete
Hopefully this means there are more advance features coming to Google + soon.ReplyDelete
google will merge features in the near future.ReplyDelete

Luckily I never use(d) that link. Nor Google+ for that matter.
The first point to consider is no more storage limit on photos/videos... Why having 2 different places to do the same??ReplyDelete
I hate this change.ReplyDelete
This is the first time that I completely disagree with Google choice.
I want to edit photos.
I do not want to watch photos.
Well I am running the leaked Google + app from ICS* on my xoom and i see under accounts the option to sync both google photos, and picasa web albums. image: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HxBwfvEOP7U/TpQ0WTndIII/AAAAAAAAbGQ/SE0dRGpqhek/s912/IMG_20111011_131703.jpgReplyDelete

You can only view your own pictures however not anyone else's you are friends with. It takes you to Google Plus-- I guess this is their way of forcing us to Google Plus for them to compete with Facebook.. GUESS WHAT FLICKR is looking really good!

They are probably still available somewhere. However, unless the service is advertised as such you shouldn't treat it as a backup service. Surely you didn't upload photos to Picasa and then delete the originals?Delete
This made me go berserk today...ReplyDelete
Why do the change before the functionality is not there yet? Cmon Google!
I had to load Picassa 3, then view album to find my albums in order to edit one. AAARRRGH!! Photos link worked fine, now Google fixed it and it is broken. Bad move.ReplyDelete
It took forever to load an Album that had over 700 photos, because Google+ loads large photos. Not a happy camper.ReplyDelete

Why is everybody behaving like Picasa Web Albums has been shut down? It's just the navigation bar link that has changed, nothing else.ReplyDeleteReplies

The Web Albums link in Picasa 3.8 still goes to Picasa Web Albums just like always.ReplyDelete
Agreed with David, this may mean that Google will merge the funcionalities of Picasa to Google+ photos. Althought I also agree with GP Checkpoint, they should have firs implemented the features and THEN changed the link.ReplyDeleteReplies
this is really stupid, especially given that "social networking" sites as Facebook or Google + are receiving more and more criticism for the threats such form of networking itself poses to human privacy. So new users of G+ are not coming,FB is still strong, but even they are losing users due to privacy concerns (or simply lack of profound interest in such activity), so Google thinks it good idea to FORCE people to use their social networking site?? Well, this can be the first step for many people to part from Google services (maybe with exception of the search engine). I hope they will NEVER force gmail users to start G+ profiles, or otherwise this really good mail service will falter, as it's used both for private and professional goals, and it might be embarassing for a professional to use email associated with social site. Also, there is no problem with creating multiple Gmail accounts, while it's allowed to create SINGLE G+ profile per person.Delete

Google should migrate/ integrate everything Picasa Web currently does to Google+ Photos

Lame. Can't just generate a private link for a single photo anymore...bad move google. Hopefully they keep the picasa link working the same for a while...ReplyDelete
Bad idea. Sharing an album now has to go trough Google+ so I understand their effort to promote Google+, but still. It's just a hassle now.ReplyDelete

I can't wait for a better Picasa/Google+ photo integration. I want to manage all my photos in one place.

Thought I was crazy when this happened. I was actually editing a photo. Went to Picasa via the link, went back to Google+, clicked the Photos link again, and was taken to Google+ photos. I must have spent a good 3-5 minutes trying to figure out what I'd done wrong before finally giving up.ReplyDelete
Either way, Google should have improved Google+'s photo editing abilities first, and then changed the link.
I pretty Much hate this. I total understand that google's biggest problem for years has been product integration. But this is just to far from being ready and the only people it is affecting is people who were already using picasa .Why isn't there an option to switch back...ReplyDelete
google+ and picasa should be kept seperate, a lot of people don;t want to get on board with google+ due to privacy concerns.ReplyDeleteReplies
and this will lead more and more people to part themselves with Google, which I find unfortunate; this company is known for being a reliable and good service provider for many, it would be truly a pity if they lost this image for some social site that will become useless in few years anyway (as all other social networking sites, eg. Facebook is losing its popularity, too, as did MySpace and other sites like that).Delete
I do not like this at all. fyi, You can no longer give my others permission to edit a Picasa web album. That functionality appear to have been killed as a result of G+. So now when 'collaborating' on a vacation album both participants have to be in the same room. A definite step backwards.ReplyDelete

First google ruined youtube by forcing us to create a gmail account , then they ruined our youtube accounts by forcing their new updated stupid page layouts down our throats and now picasa web is redirecting to google plus everytime i click on a picture. The idiot at google who is ruining everything should be loked up away from society where he can no longer cause any harm.ReplyDelete
Also dislike very much. Google+ is hard enough for me to understand (and I work with computers), let alone my baby son's grandparents. I don't have time to mess around with another social networking site. I just want to share some pictures with granny.ReplyDelete
I actually just logged in to purchase 80 GB of storage for a large photo collection backup on picasawab, but if I can no longer sync to picasaweb then I guess I won't be buying that storage. If they are moving away from PicasaWeb, then I can't trust that it will always be there...
Are there any other EASY sync grandparent-friendly alternatives out there?
I've been using Picasa for years. I pay for storage. I used to love that you could easily find your friends (e.g. followers) on the right hand side. Then they hid everybody, making it a hassle. And now this G+ CRAPPP!
I joined G+. I allowed linking to Picasa. Then I realized how much I had lost since:
1 - G+ has a CRAPPY CRAPPY interface. OMG!
2 - all my friends links now go straight to the crappy interface.
3 - commenting messed up
4 - editing messed up
5 - MY links, even when copied straight, go to G+. No, I wanted to send Mom to PICASA if I copy a PICASA address/
6 - No way to undo or change any of this, unless...
You cancel G+.
So I did, I canceled G+. Well done Google, your promotion convinced an early G+ adopter to CANCEL. Oh, and I've informed all of my friends, and guess what, some of them are canceling too.
Cancelling improved things dramatically, for now, since I now (sometimes) get linked to my friend's Picasa straight, and mine get linked straight too. But highly annoying is that I cannot link to my "following" people's Picasa accounts - THOSE LINKS GO TO G+. GODDAMMIT!!!
Given all this, I don't trust Picasa anymore. I'm considering migrating all my photos elsewhere, and inviting my friends to follow. Flickr? Photobucket.

My love for Google is 100%, but II do want to transfer all these photos back to Picasa, Anyone know how it can be accomplished?ReplyDelete
This change over occurred when I installed Picasa 3.9 on a new system, and now all my albums have lost their sync setting. This is in addition to the fact there is less functionality on G+ than on Picasa (anyone worked our how to change the album cover in G+? Had to go to Picasaweb to do it.)

This is a very BAD move for Google. I teach a computer class for senior citizens. It takes long time for them to learn Facebook. I don't want to teach them another social network G+. But I want to teach them how to share photos with friends. Any other good photo sharing tools ?ReplyDelete
This change is really bad. I embed slideshows in several blogs, and also post Picasa Web Albums on Google+ too. Forcing users to Google+ photos without the option to use Picasa Web Albums is really inconsiderate.ReplyDelete
Now to get photos onto Picasa Web Albums I need to 1) export from Picasa to resize, 2) create an Picasa Web Album, 3) upload the photos.
This is a major loss of functionality and a big backwards step.
Add one more loyal picasa user to the batch of people who think that google royally fucked up with the move to google+. I pay google for online storage. Google hasn't even bothered to respond to this thread of rants. I've heard that Google is hyper-focused on G+ but when they start jacking up paying customers, they have their heads up their asses. I shall now look for an alternative to picasa. There are lots of cool options out there these daysReplyDelete

I had to spend 30 minutes to find to see the pictures in Picasa.

I've been using Picasa and Google apps for years.

I went to check it out and got the same thing. I am NOT happy with this change. G+ has very little functionality other than just showing pictures and I use the "number of views" count to help me determine which photos are worth making prints for sale. G+ has no counts visible.

Can't find in Picasa Web Albums the "link to this photo" option on the right hand side anymore, why can't Google stop trying to compete with Facebook, they've already lost the battle, why can't they get over it and quit making us pay for their mistakes and bad moves. I'm giving them another few weeks to resolve these problems before I stop the payment for the extra storage on Picasa.ReplyDelete
I don't like that you can no longer download an album to picasa. I upload from my home computer, share to friends and family, and download to my work computer. Please add back this functionality.ReplyDelete

Google are getting to big for the shoes. I am sick and tired of them telling us how we should be doing things.

I will be searching for and alternative and bin the lot from Google.ReplyDelete
Thank goodness they got something right. I was able to delete Google+ and am now back to normal. This was a terrible decision to force this garbage on us. I can only hope they leave Picasa alone and not at some point force us to use garbage. My level of trust is damaged.ReplyDelete

I hear that they ask people at google what they think only that is what a google employee told me that they are the testers so that is why. Very select group. How many jewelry designers work there? I loved google and picasa. I hate ti now. I never use google plus. It suggests to me what I should post. How stupid is that? Wow this is what everyone is talking about...lame.

IN fact I have been crying about this.

Since I only have a few albums and have only now started my profile I had no real troubles until yesterday. I uploaded a bunch of photos from Impress, the good slideshow app on Ubuntu's repo (I really love Impress but its too big to email an entire slideshow) and I need to find a web-linked slideshow app like the good one Picasa had for a new Google+ album. Looked thru the G+ album and gee whiz there are dark squares WHERE SOME PHOTOS HAD BEEN in the album. Then I tried the slide show. Appears to be MISSING PHOTOS, but not the same ones that were missing from the album! They are still in there somewhere because the labels and text are still there, the photo is missing. My error or not, that's not supposed to happen, and certainly G+ isn't functioning as it should. I won't be able to use Google+ for albums until they fix that.

Yes! We've found 5 coupons for Woohoo Body, which have been used 13,518 times successfully.
We last found a promo code on October 04 2023. If we've missed a coupon, please let us know by submitting it.
The best coupon for Woohoo Body is Receive 25% Off And Save Money.
To add a Woohoo Body coupon to your online shopping cart, you will need to follow these steps:
All the coupons we include on DealDrop are for online stores rather than physical shops
near you, so these coupon codes should really be used online when you're shopping.
From the Woohoo Body list of codes on the Woohoo Body page, click "Show Coupon Code" or for the code you want to copy. This should show a pop-up that has the code visible, and then click "copy code." Now the code is in your clipboard. From there, go to the website as you normally would (there should be a link to the store on the coupon listing page as well).
Once you get to the Woohoo Body checkout, paste the coupon code into the discount box. (Sometimes retailers will try to hide these fields, so if you don't see the option to add a coupon right away, look around for little text like "Have a discount code?" or "Want to add a coupon?").
If the code says "Get Deal" this is a promo that you don't need a code for and will be automatically applied on the website if you meet the coupon criteria.
Of course, if you want a more streamlined process for finding and using coupons, we also have a Chrome extension you can install in your browser that makes the search for promo codes a bit more straightforward.
There are a few reasons why your promo code might not have worked:
The code isn't valid for your items: Sometimes promo codes are product-specific, where maybe it would work for sandals, for example, and not sneakers.
The code required a certain cart value: Some promos also are only valid once you spend a certain amount.
The item you want is already on sale: Most of the time, discount codes don't stack and apply to items that are already on sale.
The code is expired: Yes, sometimes this does happen, as all coupons expire eventually. We do our best to keep on top of expired coupons, there are a lot of shops online though! If you try using a code and you get the response that it's expired, please do let us know and we'll get it sorted as quickly as we can.
There are a lot of different ways to save money on a lot of stores online without a discount code. A few common ways include:
At DealDrop, we always have an eye out for coupon and discount codes. We work with a lot of different partners that actively share coupons with us, and we also scan the web regularly for the latest codes that may be different from what's already been shared with us. Plus, we get direct feedback on promos from you when you submit a coupon.
We're shoppers too, and we know how frustrating it can be to find a coupon code that ends
up not working. Here at DealDrop we do our best to keep that from happening a few ways:
Your feedback: if you tried a coupon and it didn't work, please tell us! That way we can keep an eye on the success rate of the code, and once it reaches a certain threshold we pull it or put it in the "expired" category. When you share whether or not a coupon worked or didn't work, it helps us tweak our scanners and validate the sources we use for our coupons and codes.
Fast publishing: We aim to publish coupon codes as rapidly as we find them, so if they have a short window for use (like Black Friday, Christmas or Cyber Monday), you'll have as much chance to use them as you can.
Yes, we absolutely aim to keep our coupons safe! Our business model at DealDrop means we make money when you use the promo codes and shop (through our links), so we have no reason to try and fake our discount, send you to different websites or try and steal your information. Our goal is to help you have the best experience shopping online with the best deal you've been able to find.

Donut comes fresh off the streets of NYC's Lower East Side
to rock the underground. They do so with a solidly grounded
rhythm section and a twin guitar attack that move together,
lashing out high-voltage garagecharged melodies and short,
well chosen licks and riffs that can hit hard, thrash and
burn, or kick up a twangy/bluesy SoCal rootsy feel. The
personality of the band, however, lies in their oft-sharp,
oft-non sequiter, oft-critical, oft-comical, oft-scuzzy,
oft-graphically twisted lyrics, as delivered by Tomas Antona
(who looked like a homeless Smurf at a recent gig. At times
Tomas just punkishly blurts and spews his words, at others
he grunts, speaks and just plain sings 'em, but he's most
effective when he climbs into the high register and hits
the nasal shrill tones that Johnny Rotten or Geddy Lee couldn't
pierce if they cut their noses off. Wondering what he sings
about? Howzabout "Mason Reese" (the Underwood
deviled ham kid), "Green Pea Soup" (about Linda
Blair), "World Profit" (an attack on the corporate
and TVangelical worlds), "Tipper Gore" (easy prey,
and probably why Jello signed these guys to his label),
a cover of Donovan's "Sunshine Superman," and
the S&M inspired "Bedpost," which contains
the couplet "She might be the Marquis de Sade/But when
she hits me I see God." Bring your own milk."

India and Pakistan have completed talks in Islamabad, Pakistan on "confidence-building" measures (CBMs) toward their respective nuclear-weapons programs. (To this author, the term confidence-building often just signifies an attempt to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.) They agreed to renew agreements to reduce the risk of nuclear-weapons accidents and to notify each other in advance of ballistic missile tests. In other words, nothing to see here, move along.
Considering the enmity between the two states, it's no wonder that India and Pakistan continue to make even less substantive progress on nuclear disarmament than the United States and Russia. Further complicating the issue, a faction in Pakistan may have actually aided India in developing its nuclear program. Yes, you read that right.
Joshua Pollack, who can usually be found at Arms Control Wonk, explains in an article for Playboy titled The Secret Treachery of A.Q. Khan.
India's enrichment program progressed slowly, but at some point before 1992 the Indians began experimenting with supercritical centrifuges, devices that can withstand very high rotational speeds. The program apparently continued to expand, with the Indians purchasing large quantities of supercritical centrifuge components from 1997 to 1999 and again from 2003 to 2006. … Despite some changes, the design is recognizable to the trained eye: It almost mirrors … Pakistan's P-2 centrifuge.
Centrifuge specs are not the only apparent link between India's enrichment program and Khan's operation. The cast of characters also overlaps, starting with Gerhard Wisser, a German living in South Africa [whose] engineering firm supplied. … India's centrifuge program with specialized equipment, starting in the late 1980s. What else he … might have sold to the Indians remains unknown, but the timing is consistent with India's earliest known work with supercritical centrifuges.
… Could Khan have been ignorant about Wisser's dealings with India? … At first, Khan seems to have suggested [Lerch] was autonomous enough to supply both India and Pakistan without either side knowing. But Khan later [admitted,] "There is a strong probability that the Indian uranium enrichment program … could be a copy of the Pakistani centrifuge design."
Khan's motivation for possibly trading nuclear know-how and technology with other states (Iran, North Korea, and Libya, for certain)? According to Pollack, to fund public works projects in Pakistan that would glorify his name.
If, directly or indirectly, AQ Khan aided the development of India's nuclear weapons, it parallels how Pakistan's ISI and military fund elements of the Taliban. Both could result in the eventual self-immolation of Pakistan.

So pretty, Kristen--I love the big white Cinderella pumpkin you've got placed on the chair in the next to last photo! I looked high and low for walnuts in the shell to use for decorating, and couldn't find them anywhere here--it's just too early for them in my neck of the woods, apparently. So I used wine corks instead--they're always in season!

This well-travelled native young woman hails from Dehli in India and now lives in USA's most fun city, Las Vegas. Besides baking, she loves to cook North Indian food in an instinctive manner and create fusion recipes influenced by her rich roots. Coming from a family of "super cooks", you'd think that she would also love to eat, yet weirdly it is absolutely not the case!
Tanvi is very talented both in her photography as well as in her cooking. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Being of Asian origin, she is naturally a spice addict and adores well-seasoned grub. Hence, blandness is a word which doesn't exist in her vocabulary.
This lady's experementative, healthy, colorful, fragrant, traditional, homely, yet elegant everyday style dishes are just exhalirating and amazingly scrumptious looking. Each creation is gracefully as well as attractively staged, the specialities are always accompanied by interesting information and her pictures are outstanding in their purity and apparent lack of fussiness. Visiting her blog is like taking a one way ticket to buoyant India. Wonderfully desorienting and so exotic.
Thank you so much Tanvi for consenting to write this marvelous post for me and accepting to be my host. Your "Baingan Bharta" rocks and as soon as eggplants are back in season, I'll try that lipsmacking speciality!
I am here to share one of my favorite winter recipes with her wonderful readers today. There are some things in life,which take you back to your roots no matter where you are in the world! My grandmother used to roast vegetables & bread amongst glowing charcoal pieces of her angithi (traditional indian brazier) while she kept herself warm during harsh north indian winters.We used to flock the angithi as kids to feed ourselves. Sitting miles away, the aroma which fills the house while roasting eggplants for this dish is one of those things I look forward to in my kitchen . It's a trip down memory-lane which nurtures my heart & soul with the spirit of those days.
"Baingan" is Hindi for eggplant & "Bharta" translates to any kind of mash. No points for guessing - this is mashed eggplant with spices. Its an easy recipe originally from rural north india where a chulla (clay/mud cooking stove) is used to roast the eggplants which are then peeled, mashed and combined with oil & spices. If done the traditional way i.e roasting the eggplant in heat from burning coal or wood,the taste of this dish is divine & most authentic. I think, open grilling is the best way to handle eggplant.
The dish is best served with flatbreads and a pickle /chutney / salad on side. You can serve it as a dip. I sometimes fill miniphyllo cups with bharta, top with some pepper jack cheese & bake to serve as appetizers. The ideas to eat are endless..just try your own way.
Recipe by Tanvi at "Sinfully Spicy".
Serves 2-3 people.
1 Large eggplant (about 1lb)
1 Tsp Oil (for rubbing on the eggplant)
3 Tbs Mustard/olive oil
1 Cup chopped red onions
1 Inch Fresh ginger shoot, chopped
4 Cloves garlic, chopped
1-2 Thai green chilies, chopped (adjust to tolerance)
1.25 Cups Chopped tomatoes
1 Tsp Coriander seeds
3-4 Whole dry red chilies (adjust to tolerance)
1/2 Tsp Amchoor (dry mango powder)
1/2 Tsp Garam masala
Salt, to taste
1 Tsp Mustard/olive oil (for drizzle on top, optional)
Cilantro and green chilies chopped (for garnishing)
Wash the eggplant and dry the skin with a cloth.
Rub1 tsp of oil all over.
Use any one of the following methods to char the eggplant:
1. This is what I do:
Heat your stovetop on high. Char the whole eggplant, turning with the use of tongs to char on all sides, until the skin has blackened & the flesh is soft. This will take about 20-22 minutes. Keep a watch while you do this.
2. Preheat a grill to medium heat; you can slit the eggplant into half, grill skin side up for 25-30 minutes. If you plan to use an oven, preheat broiler to 325° F (170° C) and roast the eggplant for about 15-20 minutes until skin is burnt & starts to peel off.
While the eggplant is roasting, pound the coriander seeds and dry red chilies using a mortar & pestle. Set aside.
Once the eggplant has charred, using tongs, transfer it to a plate and let cool down for about 15 minutes. Peel off the charred skin from the eggplant.You can remove seeds if you want. Using a fork, mash the flesh. Set aside.
Heat oil on high in a heavy bottomed pan. When the oil is almost smoky, reduce heat to medium & add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 6-7 minutes or till the onions are translucent but not browned. Next, add the chopped ginger, garlic, green chilies and sauté for 30 seconds or till you smell the aroma. Add the coriander & red chill mixture next and sauté for another 30 seconds. Next, add the chopped tomatoes, set the heat on high again and cook the tomatoes for 7-8 minutes until they soften (but do not mush) and you see oil separating on sides of the pan.
At this point, add the mashed eggplant and salt to taste. Combine everything together, set heat to low and let cook for 3-4 minutes. You will see that the color of the mash deepens & few oil bubbles on the surface as it cooks.
Remove from heat and while still hot, add the dry mango powder and garam masala. Mix well.
Garnish with loads of chopped cilantro, green chilies, drizzle with some raw mustard/olive oil and serve warm with naan/ chapati (flatbreads).

All-mountain snowboarding boots can be worn on any terrain that's suitable for snowboarding. Think untracked powder, groomed courses, parks and more. These versatile boots are flexible and softer than park boots.
Park boots are designed for maneuverability. This boots have a flexible upper, which is better suited for half-pipes, rails and tricks. More advanced riders tend to choose a boot flex that is stiff, which supports speed on the hill.
Weatherproofing is essential for your snowboarding boots. Always ensure your boot is designed with waterproof fabric. A lock-up cuff, internal gusset and plush insulation protect you from the harsh elements. A sockliner improves comfort and fit.
The latest snowboarding boots like BOA snowboard boots are designed for a comfortable fit during long days on the mountain. Total weatherproofing and a lightweight construction deliver an easy, sleek ride.
Review product information to learn about the midsole of your snowboarding boot. Your midsole should be lined with EVA or another responsive foam padding to keep you on comfortable on your feet.

Were you there? Have you taken such a trip before in Egypt? Send us your experiences.
Story highlights
NEW: Conflicting reports emerge over company's safety record
A British passenger and the pilot are hospitalized
The balloon carried tourists from the UK, Hong Kong, Japan, France and Hungary
A gas explosion caused the balloon to fall about 300 meters (almost 1,000 feet)
The view from above southern Egypt is stunning, a contrast of beige desert valley giving way to green farmland, including fields of sugar cane. Tourists soak in the sight by hiring hot air balloons that have large baskets to carry passengers hundreds of feet above the countryside.
Tuesday morning, as one of the balloons prepared to land, an explosion pierced the air, followed by a spreading billow of smoke.
"My first thought was that it was sugar cane that was burning," said Christopher Michel, a photographer who was a passenger in another balloon at the time.
Smoke from the burning sugar cane painted the ancient city of Luxor below with an eerie haziness.
But the concern shown by the balloon pilot and the blaring sirens from emergency vehicles told Michel that something was wrong. He could not imagine the extent: One of the balloons had exploded, and its 21 passengers and operators plummeted about 1,000 feet (300 meters) to the ground.
By Tuesday afternoon, the number of dead had climbed to 19, making it the world's deadliest hot air balloon accident in at least 20 years.
"This juxtaposition of this great beauty and this wonderful country and this horrible tragedy is just really shocking," Michel told CNN. "We all feel terrible."
It was an early, dark morning, Michel said, and uneventful for 45 minutes until they started to descend. He was overlooking mud-brick buildings and fields, with the Valley of the Kings in the distance, when the explosion shattered the quiet of the morning.
It was a gas explosion, state-run EgyNews reported.
Passengers in the balloon included 19 foreign tourists: nine from Hong Kong, four from Japan, three from Britain, two from France and one from Hungary, officials said.
An Egyptian pilot and another Egyptian also were on board, Luxor province spokesman Badawi al-Masri said.
Two people – a Briton and the pilot – are hospitalized.
Balloon rides offering panoramic aerial views of the Nile River and the ancient temples of Karnak and Hatshepsut are a popular tourist attraction in Luxor, about a nine-hour drive southeast of Cairo.
"You can see Valley of the Kings in the background bordered by farmland," Pauline Liang of Vancouver, Canada, told CNN's iReport last year. "Below were banana farms, and behind us was the city of Luxor. There was a great contrast between desert landscape, lush farmland and urban development."
Tuesday's crash prompted Gov. Izzat Saad of Luxor province to ban all hot air balloon flights until further notice.
Conflicting reports emerged about the company that operated the doomed balloon, Sky Cruise.
The head of the country's civil aviation authority said the company was licensed and working legally, EgyNews reported.
The agency has begun an investigation of the incident, Mohammed Ibrahim Sharif said.
According to Sharif, a fire broke out in the balloon while the workers were trying to land it, just feet from the ground. The balloon then shot upwards again, he said.
The balloon's basket was divided into four parts, he said, each holding five passengers.
Meanwhile, Luxor's chamber of tourism said the company had previous violations, EgyNews reported.
Several balloon companies had terminated contracts with the local meteorological service after the Egyptian revolution, Tharwat Agami, chairman of the chamber of tourism, said.
Sky Cruise and other companies were known to violate safety and security instructions by flying out of East Luxor, instead of the recommended West Luxor, he said.
Comparing it to a previous hot air balloon experience in another country, Michel noted that there was no safety briefing before the Luxor balloons lifted off the ground, but added that he felt safe during the trip.
From what he could tell, the doomed balloon was not overloaded, he said on his Twitter account.
Luxor is among Egypt's top tourist draws. Visitors go to see ancient temples and tombs, and travel sites often recommend the hot air balloon trips.
The last hot air balloon accident in Luxor occurred in 2009, when 16 foreign tourists were injured after a balloon struck a cell phone transmission tower.
Until Tuesday's incident, the deadliest accident in recent memory took place in 1989, when 13 people were killed as two hot air balloons collided in Australia.
Egyptian government spokesman Alaa Hadidi announced that the Cabinet will form a committee from the Ministry of Civil Aviation to investigate Tuesday's accident, EgyNews said.
CNN's Housam Ahmed and Hamdi Alkhshali, along with journalist Adam Makary in Cairo, contributed to this report.

The Coat Sew-Along Is ON!
Now, a few FAQ:
What's a sew-along?
A sew-along is an online group sewing project. Everyone sews the same pattern--in this case, Butterick 5824. I will lead the sew-along through a series of blog posts, photographing the major steps of the coat construction. But the most important part of a sew-along is the community involvement. To avoid Gertie having a nervous breakdown, everyone pitches in by answering each other's questions and commenting in the Flickr group.
What's a Flickr group?
It's a dedicated page on the Flickr website, where you can upload photos of your progress and participate in group discussions. Join Flickr here. Then join the Sew-Along Flickr group here.
How do I officially join the sew-along?
Just join the Flickr group!
I want to help you, Gertie!
THANK YOU! Gertie needs help, lots of it. Please email me at email@example.com if you're interested in becoming a volunteer moderator of the sew-along. This means answering questions here and on the Flickr group page, and commenting on member's muslins and fabric questions.
When do we start sewing?
The first sewing post will go up on Monday, October 1st. This gives everyone plenty of time to gather their patterns and supplies. A more detailed schedule will be posted shortly.
How much fabric do I need?
Please refer to the fabric and notions requirements on the pattern envelope back. You can find these online on the Butterick 5824 pattern page.
What kind of fabric should I buy?
I would suggest looking for a light to medium weight wool. Fabric weight is the biggest concern with this pattern--this thing eats yardage for breakfast. At certain places (like the collar), you will have three layers of the fabric on top of each other, plus interfacing. To test if your fabric is too heavy, stack up three layers of it in your hand and ask yourself if that's something you want to wear on your chest. You also need to consider the drape. The skirt on this coat is a full circle. Thicker fabrics will stand out dramatically, while thinner fabrics will drape and cling around the body more. It all depends on the effect you're going for. Drape the fabric around your waist so it's hanging down like a skirt to test the effect.
If you live in a warmer clime, look for trenchcoat fabrics like cotton twill. If you want to dress this baby up, look for a light to medium weight brocade.
If you have specific questions about fabric, please post them in the Flickr discussion group. I regret to say that if you send me an email, it will probably get lost. My inbox is currently like a black hole where emails go to die.
What can I do in the meantime before the sew-along officially starts?
Buy your pattern, fabric, notions, and supplies. I would also recommend making a muslin of the coat bodice and uploading it to the Flickr group. I'll write more about muslins soon!
I hope this helps answer some questions. Will you be joining the sew-along? I hope so!

Just signed up to Flickr too!ReplyDelete
In terms of a sewalong and having peoples help to you think this is too hardcore for a somewhat sewing novice.? So tempted but I don't know if i'm up to that lvl.ReplyDelete
I have a question ;)ReplyDelete
The pattern sais we need 4 yards Interfacing "18,20"... What means 18,20, is the width of the interfacing in inch? Or what does that mean?
Mel - You are correct. "18,20" refers to the typical width of the interfacing that you can purchase by the yard at stores like Joann's.ReplyDelete
Just joined the Flickr group - already more than 30 members!
Oh I wish I could get this pattern I don't seem to be able to in the UK and shipping from the link you sent is $15 :o(ReplyDelete
Do you know if the pattern is available outside the US?
Thanks FionaReplies
It's available at sewdirect in the uk, http://www.sewdirect.com/acatalog/Butterick-B5824.htmlDelete
The Butterick US site ships internationally, I got mine shipped to Australia.Delete
I'm in the UK and I ordered my pattern from sew today and they are really good I even signed up for the magazine well worth it if you buy a few patterns a year, I have quiet a few now.Delete
I would love to join this sew-along! I'm kind of an advanced beginner leaning toward intermediate (have had lessons, but am out of practice, just getting back into sewing). Do you think I can handle this pattern?ReplyDelete
Gertie, if there's a Joanns in your area, Butterick patterns are $1 next week. (September 16-Spetember 22)ReplyDeleteReplies
yippee! I just ordered the pattern and can't wait to get sewing!ReplyDelete
Gertie, your patterns are just gorgeous, please could you tell me whether they will be available in the UK? We have been looking all over here and I just can't find your lovely coat pattern here ....*sob*ReplyDeleteReplies
Awesome! I won't be sewing along (who wants to make a winter coat in summer?!) but when I do make it I'll be very, very grateful to have a sewalong to refer to.ReplyDelete
Straight Talking Mama - I got mine from Sew Squirrel. It's an Australian site, but shipping from Aussie is much cheaper than from the US! I checked, and you can get it from there - shipped - for about 8 pounds. Better hurry though, because I know they only got in a VERY limited stock.
I can't join the sew-along this time (although I will make that coat this season!), but I did want to let you know that I have my copy of the book and love it! I was tickled to see the green shoes on the cover, and love the layout, illustrations, etc. It's really a combination of the styles of some of my favorite books -- for example, the attached envelope of patterns, like the Sublime Stitching series.ReplyDelete
For anyone reading this, if you'd like to support the book, write a review at Amazon. It really does help authors -- when a buyer is not quite sure of purchasing a title, a good review can be an influence. Let's help Gretchen out!
I would love to sew along, but I'm pregnant with my third baby girl and I won't be able to get good measurements. I'll have to wait for the next one! Will there be a "next one"?ReplyDelete
I already ordered my main fabric. It's sort of plain so I want fabulous vintage buttons and cool lining fabric.ReplyDelete
Your new book just arrived! I love it. Can't wait to dive in to the projects. I'm also going to participate in the sew along if you decide to have one. You are an inspiration!ReplyDelete
WOO HOO!!! I ordered my pattern today. Can't wait for the sew-along! :DReplyDelete
Just signed up for Flickr! So psyched for this Sew-Along! Thanks Gertie!ReplyDelete
Off to join group now! Just found my fabric today and am super excited.ReplyDelete
This should be fun! Thanks, Gertie - I needed a kick in the patootie to get me sewing again. This might be like diving into the deep end, but hey, I float!ReplyDelete
Really looking forward to this I have my pattern just need to find some lovely material and then I'm ready, never made a coat before I dont really wear coats but this one is so different to whats out there, I'm sure that by following this sew along I will produce a coat to be proud of.ReplyDelete
Un-scary sewing machine - check. Pattern ordered - check.ReplyDelete
(I really REALLY want that coat!)
Fabricmart.com just posted coating and fine wool discounts. Might be something for you guys :DReplyDelete
Hi gertie, sorry asking for help. What kind of interfacing r u using for the boiled wool? Thanks so muchReplyDeleteReplies
just bought my pattern whoooo hoo!ReplyDelete
Fun times! I probably won't be joining in, I have a dress I'm planning to make that will take up all my sewing time and budget for the next month or so, but I'm looking forward to reading all about it! A warm-ish coat is on my sewing wishlist. Plus, I can't wait to see that gorgeous fabric you showed in the earlier post - that will quite the coat! :)ReplyDelete
Bertie, I am desperate to make your new coat but cannot seem to be able to buy it in the UK. Can you help? The shipping is $15 from USA!!ReplyDeleteReplies
me too :(Delete
was going to but both the butterick patterns but the shipping made me empty my cart :(
for now....
the temptation may be too big and i might bite the bullet anyway ;P

Hi Bridget and Rebecca. I am in the UK and bought my pattern from sewtoday.co.uk.Also if you become a member you get 50% off patterns.Delete
Joined up! My pattern is enroute in the post as I type! I'm still pondering fabric choices:)ReplyDelete
Okay this is definitely going to be a splurge for me, but I am in...I'll pick up my pattern and fabric this weekend. I read your advice on fabric weight and I am wondering if you have any suggestions for lining? If I get a wool blend for the fabric what would you suggest for lining, Gertie?ReplyDelete
I live on Vancouver Island, Canada, and have tried to get the pattern in three Fabricland locations and all three advise it has not come in yet. I really want to do this sew along.ReplyDelete
Have pattern,joined group...need to settle on fabric choices!Quick question: I will be away for a week in Oct. will the tutorials and info be ongoing so I can get caught up when I return?:)ReplyDelete
Would you mind if I use one of the pictures for my blog to raise more participants?ReplyDelete
Yayyy! Just bought my pattern today :)ReplyDelete

New World populations (Totonac and Bolivian) are placed between Nepalese and Kyrgyzstanis, indicating higher affinity of these American samples to central Asians than to eastern Asians.
This is more likely an artifact of the mixed (Caucasoid-Amerindian) ancestry of these American samples, rather than an indication of their Central Asian origin, as the authors seem to believe. This is an important caveat, as American Indians and Central Asians are "pulled together" by their shared West Eurasian ancestry of post-Columbus and Neolithic/Chalcolithic Age origin respectively, and correspondingly "pulled away" by Mongoloids proper from East Asia who lack that admixture.
The Eurasian PCA is interesting:
At the sub-continental level, we focus first on Eurasia, where most of our samples have been selected (Figure 4A). Overall, PC1 and PC2 mainly reflect the geographic distribution of the populations, with the majority of genetic variation accounted for by their locations. PC1 (accounting for 62.7% of the variance) reflects an east-west gradient, while PC2 (3.3% of the variance) reflects a north-south gradient.There is absolutely no reason (based on geographical distance) for PC1 to account for twenty times more variance than PC2. PC1 reflects the racial contrast between Caucasoids and Mongoloids, while PC2 reflects the much weaker latitudinal adaptation and south-to-north spread of humans into the higher latitudes.
The results of ADMIXTURE analysis (for Eurasian individuals) are presented in graphical format in the paper itself, for (K=7).
The most interesting part of the study -for me- was the inclusion of three novel African samples, the Luhya, Alur, and Hema. Notice the blue component in these people, which resolves partially to orange at K=12. This is an indication of Eurasian affinities that are mostly lacking in other black Africans.
Genomics doi:10.1016/j.ygeno.2010.07.004
Toward a more uniform sampling of human genetic diversity: A survey of worldwide populations by high-density genotyping
Jinchuan Xing et al.
High-throughput genotyping data are useful for making inferences about human evolutionary history. However, the populations sampled to date are unevenly distributed, and some areas (e.g., South and Central Asia) have rarely been sampled in large-scale studies. To assess human genetic variation more evenly, we sampled 296 individuals from 13 worldwide populations that are not covered by previous studies. By combining these samples with a data set from our laboratory and the HapMap II samples, we assembled a final dataset of ~ 250,000 SNPs in 850 individuals from 40 populations. With more uniform sampling, the estimate of global genetic differentiation (FST) substantially decreases from ~ 16% with the HapMap II samples to ~ 11%. A panel of copy number variations typed in the same populations shows patterns of diversity similar to the SNP data, with highest diversity in African populations. This unique sample collection also permits new inferences about human evolutionary history. The comparison of haplotype variation among populations supports a single out-of-Africa migration event and suggests that the founding population of Eurasia may have been relatively large but isolated from Africans for a period of time. We also found a substantial affinity between populations from central Asia (Kyrgyzstani and Mongolian Buryat) and America, suggesting a central Asian contribution to New World founder populations.

ANALI imports the finest quality fabrics from all over the world, as befits the quality of Anali's embroidery designs. The bed linens are made by one of Italy's finest mills, 300 thread-count cotton sateens that are finished to a luxurious, soft feel, and 600 thread-count crisp percale, all in Egyptian cotton. New to Anali's collection is a polyester taffeta loomed in Belgium. This wonderful fabric looks and feels like silk, but stands up to pretty rough treatment, needing very little care for duvet covers and pillow shams. The thread collection amounts to more than 100 colors selected from a number of manufacturers, primarily from Germany. Most of the work uses a very fine, 100% rayon thread that holds color, and allows Anali to blend the threads to produce the amazing details and color. The Exquisite Needlework - Due to the intricacies of the design patterns and colors, a detailed production process is necessary to create the "Exquisite Needlework". The designs begin with hand drawn renderings created with colored pencils to accentuate detail and shadings. The drawing is then scanned into a computer, sharpened and scaled to size. A specialized embroidery software program is used to plan each stitch and color change needed to bring the design to life. See coordinating terry bath linens and linen guest towels!
