The fabric is this lime green stretch gingham from my shop (I have 6 yards left; see end of post for coupon code!).
I raised the armholes on the pattern, but they're still a bit too low.
black and white plaid version (which is 4" shorter than the pattern itself).
Zappos. Surprisingly comfy for such a high wedge.
The collar is white pique (see my tutorial on sewing the collar here). I used three white flower buttons.
Last but not least, it's the final day of my Independence Day fabric sale. Use code HAPPY4TH until midnight tonight to get 10% off your entire order!

Sol 503: Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI)
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity acquired this image using its Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm, on January 4, 2014, Sol 503 of the Mars Science Laboratory Mission, at 23:20:48 UTC.
When this image was obtained, the focus motor count position was 14697. This number indicates the internal position of the MAHLI lens at the time the image was acquired. This count also tells whether the dust cover was open or closed. Values between 0 and 6000 mean the dust cover was closed; values between 12500 and 16000 occur when the cover is open. For close-up images, the motor count can in some cases be used to estimate the distance between the MAHLI lens and target. For example, in-focus images obtained with the dust cover open for which the lens was 2.5 cm from the target have a motor count near 15270. If the lens is 5 cm from the target, the motor count is near 14360; if 7 cm, 13980; 10 cm, 13635; 15 cm, 13325; 20 cm, 13155; 25 cm, 13050; 30 cm, 12970. These correspond to image scales, in micrometers per pixel, of about 16, 25, 32, 42, 60, 77, 95, and 113.
Most images acquired by MAHLI in daylight use the sun as an illumination source. However, in some cases, MAHLI's two groups of white light LEDs and one group of longwave ultraviolet (UV) LEDs might be used to illuminate targets. When Curiosity acquired this image, the group 1 white light LEDs were off, the group 2 white light LEDs were off, and the ultraviolet (UV) LEDS were off.

I could not resist!
I have now been monitoring my food (in other words, I have been dieting!) since March now - with pretty good results, thank you very much ;) - but today I passed by the shop of Pierre Hermé and for once there was no line outside (yes, it can happen!). I could not resist buying - and eating right away - 2 macarons... I know it's bad but when you're at the doorstep of heaven (or is it hell?) how can you resist? For those of you who would have never heard of Pierre Hermé, let's just say he's one of the most talented Pastry chefs around (see more on Wikipedia and/or on his official website).

Pierre Herme, my husband said he had to unload his entire bank avcount to pay for my desserts from there.ReplyDelete

Account. Anyway, I prefer Laduree much better. Right, Monica?ReplyDelete

When you get to the US, Eric, you should try what we call macaroons. A tight blob of coconut that sits in your stomachReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 12:13:00 AM GMT+2
AND, they are opening up another shop.After all this, I am now going to be like Napoleon and put the GF crown on my own head.ReplyDelete
Everyone needs a break once in a while from monitoring their food. (I like that better than dieting!) Tomorrow, leave the Macarons alone...and everything will be just fine. Believe me, I've monitored my food, many times, and once in a while we need a treat.;)ReplyDelete
Don't tell Monica! I don't like macarons but I do understand the temptation thing he he... glad you enjoyed it. This photo is very Eric. Not for you the front of the shop, the table you sat at, no no, the napkin makes the best pic of all, with beautiful Paree in the background. It's why we love you, Eric.ReplyDelete
Phx~~~ How nice to see you are GF. What goes on the crown? Macarons?ReplyDelete
Actually you and I have a similar theme today, Eric, stopping for tea! Great minds think alike huh?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 12:31:00 AM GMT+2
You were so in a hurry that only the napkin was remaining for the picture ;)
Eric, the closet I've come to a macaron is macaroni. Another good reason to jet to Paris. Glad you were able to save a napkin. ;-)ReplyDelete
*or "closest" (although "closet" is funny). I'm coming out of the...oh, never mind!ReplyDelete
Not Hell, Eric, but Heaveeeeeeennnnn! Which flavors?!ReplyDelete
Hehe this post reminds me of a funny and quite weird conversation that we had at les 2 Magots. PHX? :D
"macaroni" LOL Coltrane. Did you try my recipe?! We are sunday, remember!ReplyDelete
This is the one thing I didn't get to do the last time I was in Paris and I'm pretty sad about it. It is on my list for the next trip, I can assure you. Diet or not, I have to try one of these (or maybe two).ReplyDelete
I've been busy chopping down a tree, Guille. But yes, one of these Sundays when the snow begins to fall, the time will be right for a mac!ReplyDelete
Leave it to Eric to make a great photo out of a napkin.ReplyDelete
Eric, Under Libelles: you should put desserts, and maybe even famous chefs. We discuss this very often on PDP. It's a good thing -- heavenly! It looks like it is a beautiful autumn day in grand Paris. Hmmmmmm hmmmmmm, hmmmmmm -- music please Coltrane.ReplyDelete
PHX, "I am now going to be like Napoleon and put the GF crown on my own head." Wow, that is a very clever thing to say. Hats off to you! I wish I would have thought of that -- envy.ReplyDelete
Eric, thanks for the link to the Herme's website - very nice site. I'm not sure that I'm ready to pay $38 for a box of les macarons.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 2:19:00 AM GMT+2
Ah, dieting must be so much fun in the land of macarons! I always think of Paris as the place to absolutely NOT be on a diet (and it shows this week). But what are a couple of centimeters anyway? ; )ReplyDelete
I love PHX's description of a macaroon.
Everyone needs a break from being good, Eric. Hope you truly enjoyed your treat and congrats on your good results so far!!! Don't forget that it's awfully hard to improve perfection and when you do poor Lynn might not be able to take it!!! ;oPReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 2:34:00 AM GMT+2
Oh ! Rue Bonaparte :)ReplyDelete
How I miss it ! So what did you eat?
Ohhhhhh! Were they coconut macaroons? Those are well worth breaking a diet with their moist, yummy goodness! One of my favorites. :)ReplyDelete
LynnUS - But I LIKE the American coconut ones! If you ever saw me, you'd know the truth of that instantly!ReplyDelete
Do not worry about the 2 macaroons....for they were from Pierre Herme's shop with no line outside....you made the right decision. You deserve such a heavenly treat (yes, heavenly) if you've been dieting since March with good results. Trust me, I know the struggles with losing weight having lost 32 lbs. during 2007 and then in 2008 having gained 20 back. Today eat the macaroons and tomorrow eat veggies. Bon appetit!ReplyDelete
Macarons are on my list when i come in Nov. How in the world did I miss them the last time???? Pierre is on my list.ReplyDelete
Macarons are on my list when i come in Nov. How in the world did I miss them the last time???? Pierre is on my list.ReplyDelete
We have macaroons here in San Francisco at one my local markets (of course they are from France). My daughter came by today to give me a sample of her latest creation "Mango & Ginger in a an Eggroll Crepe" (so it is crispy on the outside) and a little chocolate drizzled on the outside for something special. She graduated from Le Cordon Bleu (which was founded as a culinary institute in Paris in 1895). I never diet; however, everyone, tells me that I don't eat much.ReplyDelete
No more comments from Anonynmous Zoe & S?ReplyDelete
Seems I can't spell...anonymous.ReplyDelete
Petrea said, "Leave it to Eric to make a great photo out of a napkin." SO true, so true!ReplyDelete
CONGRATS PHX! You deserve the crown today and we'll even call you "Napoleona" if you wish. I was thinking that you ought to add the rules to the Golden Finger contest to the Wikipedia page about PDP. One surely exists, although I haven't checked.
Hope, please don't encourage Zoe and Sabine. I was having a hard enough time following there odes of joy and then Coltrane kept coming in from cutting down a tree and I was getting more confused. LOLReplyDelete
Think about it: Paris must be one of the most difficult places in the world to "monitor" one's food. And over the last several months there have been a few posts here from restaurants. Eric! You poor thing! What hell it must have been for you! I'm so glad you had a macaron (or two)!ReplyDelete
(Hope, I think they're still commenting on the "Photo Shoot" post.)
What a delightful photo! Could only be Paris. If you're going to break your diet Eric, no better place to slip.ReplyDelete
On my first day in Paris on our way to buy some of that honey in the Lux gardens (all the honey sold out by noon Saturday so I didn't get any, drat!) my friend Eric insisted we pop into Pierre Herme (only 4 people in front of us in line!) and he got us a dozen assorted little macarons. I knew I had arrived in heaven, sitting in the Luxembourg gardens eating Pierre Herme macarons! At one point my friend said "Ok we can't eat another macaron for at least five minutes." Too funny!
C'est une bonne décision que vous avez prise!ReplyDelete
Looks like you had beautiful weather Eric. And a little autumn color starting? Congrats on your successful 'food monitoring'.ReplyDelete
lol Soosha, so true.ReplyDelete
Coltrane cutting down a tree? Wow. Not confusing at all. Roar. Oooh I'm all unnecessary again...
fe without a fine pastry now again is no life at all. W need our small pelsyre im moderation. Enjoy.ReplyDelete
Coltrane~~~Is the tree down yet?ReplyDelete
Did anyone say Macaron???ReplyDelete
Good for you Eric!!!!! I say never ever resist a good macaron, they are little pieces of heaven in my opinion.
PHX I've never tried the one from Pierre Hermè - but I totally trust Eric's taste - so I can't say I prefer Laduree's over those. I've had the ones from La Maison du Chocolat, of course, and lately the only ones I've been eating are from the hotel.
Just like last week. I had some.
Eight to be precise.
Lynn I know you don't like macarons. It's ok we can always have a Cadbury and have a great time anyway!!ReplyDelete
PHX and Rose, my gourmet friends, we're having a Saveurs de France festival at the hotel and our chef Roland Villard is greeting several french chefs there for special meals that are being offered to the clients.
This week diner will be prepared by Pascall Borrell and next week the chef of Hotel Le Meurice, Yannick Alleno, will be the star.
For those who are interested in trees and my blistered hands. If not, don't read.ReplyDelete
My 40ft cherry tree has a rare disease (black knot I think or something of that name) and it is dying. Also, it is encroaching on my new roof (one year old) and it's time to come down. I cut and sawed a good portion of the top half yesterday. I'm hiring some of my high school students to do the major chopping and hauling of the boughs and branches below. Wouldn't want them to fall off my roof now. The remainder of the tree will meet Mr Chainsaw soon. (I didn't know this would be so interesting, but some of you asked) I must say that Monsieur Cherrytree is a formidable fellow, but he has not gotten the better of me so far. Hope all of you are having a splendid day.

Hi EricReplyDelete
Tere from San Diego, California. If you really want to monitor your food try this food logging website: nutrimirror.com
Disclaimer: This is a family business but I'd love it anyway. It's very helpful.
A wise skinny chick once told me, "The cheeseburgers and the chocolate will always be there ... you can have one or two occasionally. But don't consume them as if there will never be another". Great advice and I know you appreciated your treat guilt free, I hope! Love from the Prarie.ReplyDelete

But where is this photo? What are the tents in the background.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 4:56:00 PM GMT+2
YANNICK ALLENO!!!! OMG OMG. When I used to eat at Les Muses,it was sooo excellent, that I asked the chef's name and never forgot it.I ate there so often that the maitre d' knew me. Then, Yannnick moved to the Meurice ( I thougt it was the Crillion-thx for the info) and that ended everything for me$$$$$$$$$(I don't have the sign for euros). I was also dining on paying 80 cents for one euro, so what would have been an expensive meal was affordable.ReplyDelete
US Elaine, I have been known to eat the American macaroon at holiday time,shhhhhh, but it bears no resemblance to the macaron francaise.
Michael:I didn't know I had a NAPOLEONA complex!LOL!I am going to get lots of use with THAT line!
Rose, did you vision Gramma's idea of a GF crown?
Lois: thank you!

Jeff: It is the front of Saint Sulpice church. Eric had a photo a while back showing the bric a brac for sale there. Pierre Herme is a street away.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 6, 2008 at 6:33:00 PM GMT+2
Yes, phx, I just tracked it down with Google and Google Maps. Now I know exactly where it is: the corner of rue Bonaparte and Place St. Sulpice/rue du Vieux Colombier. You can see just the edge of St. Sulpice church on the left. All the tents are around the fountain in Place St. Sulpice, another antique sale or something. And the little café around the corner is classic.ReplyDelete
Imagining Coltrane doing battle with a large tree -cherry no less!-...mmmm...so manly. If you need someone to nurse your poor injured hands... (I'm baaaaaaack!)ReplyDelete
Coltrane~~~Be careful with those hands...Remember they have to hold your drumsticks...ReplyDelete
You deserve the reward, besides it must have been fate that there wasn't a line....yum, a macaroon, good choice! Love the photo :)ReplyDelete
I am having a good day, now, Coltrane...! (huh Soosh'?)ReplyDelete
Cadbury's always good, Monica. he he. That and a Sex and the City DVD... a great girly night in. lol
Speaking of trees...I see I have suddenly become the "fall guy." Bidda boom! [bad I know]ReplyDelete
PHX Lynn...please tell me you saw my comment yesterday about your new flight attendant outfit. I wouldn't want you to miss it... ;-)ReplyDelete
I can't wait to try it out next time I'm there! Too bad you didn't post the photos of les macarons!! Then I could drool even more...ReplyDelete
Great photo idea with the napkin, Eric! You are always so clever.ReplyDelete
I'm going to take a hit for this one, but I really don't like macarons either. I can eat a million coconut macaroons, though. Try putting them in the microwave for 10 secs. Mmmmmmm.
Lynn, I put the Sex & the City movie on my iPod and it's been on replay for days. I stopped crying on the 3rd watch. The friendship love in that movie is so overwhelming. Every girl's real dream.
Good luck with your tree, Coltrane_Lives!

Hmm, Michael, a little hint of what' behind that mellow facade of yours, n'est-ce pas? Leather, lather, quips and whips. Un petit pain? (Peut etre pain et l'eau?)ReplyDelete
Two confessions:ReplyDelete
I don't like macaroons (American--never had French);
I've never seen an entire episode of Sex & the City.
2 macarons won't kill you, Eric. Just make sure it's a one-time thing and don't do it again for .. a couple of days or so! ;)ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Uhm...I see what you mean...
Gramma Ann
Can we correspond outside of this blog? I will explain it all in an email, if you don't mind
It is time that someone collects at least a couple of Michelan stars for their restaurant in Rio.
Rose~~~Yes, we can talk in e-mail...?ReplyDelete
I have to admit it as well. Never had a macaroon. I hate coconut. And almonds. And meringue. But I would try one, if I got the chance. I am willing for a macaroon to prove to me that those things could be good. I have heard that Laduree makes one with rose--that would be my choice. I love rose, lavender, or violet anything!!ReplyDelete
Love, love..love...Pierre Herme!!ReplyDelete
I'm jealous.
that is definitely one thing i miss from paris. pistachio and chocolate macarons.
A well-deserved reward for being a good guy since March. Heavenly indeed! To your health!ReplyDelete
Seattle Daily Photo
what flavor ?ReplyDelete
Quel parfum ?
Ooh, I haven't tried Pierre Hermé's macarons, but I've heard of him. Maybe in the next trip.ReplyDelete

< Features
The next version 2.8 of GIMP will have a wealth of new features, including Single-Window Mode, Layer Groups, and On-Canvas Text Editing.
- Name: Nils Philippsen
- Email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 17
- Last updated: 2012-05-10
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Upstream published version 2.8.0 on 2012-05-03; gimp-2.8.0-1 was built into Rawhide and F-17 on 2012-05-10, dependent packages were rebuilt with a previous version of the release candidate.
Detailed Description
- Single-Window Mode optionally displays all images and dockable dialogs in one window instead of several (which remains the default).
- Layer Groups allow layers to be organized in tree-like structures.
- Editing text with the Text Tool is now performed on-canvas instead of in a separate window. Mixing different text styles in the same layer is now possible.
- Saving and exporting are now separate activities. Saving an image can only be done in GIMP's native XCF format.
- Size entries allow simple mathematical expressions, like "50%", "30in + 40px" or "4 * 5.4in".
- The brush dynamics engine has been expanded considerably, making almost all aspects of the brush engine drivable by a multitude of inputs, all of them configurable with their own response curve.
- State of tools is now savable as presets with meaningful names.
- A completely new Cage transform tool has been added, implementing an innovative approach to free transformation which makes it possible to easily warp parts of objects using an adjustable user-defined polygonal frame.
- New widgets, configuration and other improvements for users of advanced input devices (e.g. tablets).
- It is now possible to tag GIMP resources such as brushes and patterns.
- Lots of other minor improvements and bugfixes.
Benefit to Fedora
Users will benefit from the improved workflow and many other features in this new version of GIMP.
Upstream is approaching a 2.8 release with few remaining "must have" items. Few other packages depend on GIMP, mainly external plugins. While the plugin interface is supposed to be backwards-compatible, Fedora packages containing GIMP plugins should be rebuilt to be on the safe side.
How To Test
- Run GIMP.
- Perform normal image manipulation activities.
- Load image files of various formats, save to XCF and export to other image formats.
- Switch between normal and Single-Window Mode (Windows/Single-Window Mode). Work on one or several images in both modes. Minimize Windows, unminimize them again, observe behavior.
- If advanced input devices like tablets are available, configure and use them.
User Experience
- Before: Some users didn't like that GIMP had several windows. Now: These users can use Single-Window Mode.
- Before: Users had to emulate layer groups e.g. by using several images and combining them which wouldn't let their work be saved as one whole thing and had a high potential for losing work (no coherent undo here for instance). Now: Users can e.g. subtract one layer from another and treat the combined result as one layer, eventually combining it with other layers or groups.
Mainly packages containing external GIMP plugins depend on the GIMP packages. These will be rebuilt to spot eventual API compatibility problems, both against the current development and the then stable version.
Contingency Plan
Revert to previous stable GIMP version (2.6.x), rebuild dependent packages (to get rid of used new API).
- GIMP 2.8 release notes
- GIMP 2.8.x Changes
- GIMP 2.8.0 announcement on the GIMP project
- Projected GIMP 2.8 schedule
Release Notes
- Known regressions (documented in detail in the GIMP 2.7 release notes):
- The GTK version on which this GIMP version depends doesn't properly support certain graphics tablets.
- Old tools presets are not 100% convertible to new ones, for instance brush scale can't be converted to brush size.
- GIMP can use poppler to import PDF files, however GIMP 2.7/2.8 changed the license to GPLv3+/LGPLv3+, which is incompatible with the current poppler license (GPLv2 only). The upcoming poppler version 0.20 will be GPLv2/GPLv3 dual-licensed, making GIMP and poppler licenses compatible again. In the meantime, GIMP will use the PostScript plugin for importing PDF files.

Privacy Notice
Privacy notice for parents/carers – use of your child's personal data
Under data protection law, individuals have a right to be informed about how the school uses any personal data that we hold about them. We comply with this right by providing 'privacy notices' (sometimes called 'fair processing notices') to individuals where we are processing their personal data.
This privacy notice explains how we collect, store and use personal data about our pupils and also the data that we hold on you, as parents/carers.
We, Homefields Primary School, Parkway, Chellaston, Derby DE73 5YJ, are the 'data controller' for the purposes of data protection law.
Our data protection officer is Mrs Sarah Coleman (see 'Contact us' below).
The personal data we hold
Personal data that we may collect, use, store and share (when appropriate) about pupils includes, but is not restricted to:
Contact details, contact preferences, date of birth, identification documents
Results of internal assessments and externally set tests
Pupil and curricular records
Characteristics, such as ethnic background, eligibility for free school meals, or special educational needs
Exclusion information
Details of any medical conditions, including physical and mental health
Attendance information
Safeguarding information
Details of any support received, including care packages, plans and support providers
- CCTV images captured in school
As part of this data collection we hold contact details and contact preferences for you as parent/carers.
We may also hold data about pupils that we have received from other organisations, including other schools, local authorities and the Department for Education.
Why we use this data
We use this data to:
Support pupil learning
Monitor and report on pupil progress
Provide appropriate pastoral care
Protect pupil welfare
Assess the quality of our services
Administer admissions waiting lists
Carry out research
Comply with the law regarding data sharing
Provide a service to parents and carers to monitor student progress
- Communicate with parents and carers via various communication platforms
Our legal basis for using this data
We only collect and use pupils' personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we process it where:
We need to comply with a legal obligation
- We need it to perform an official task in the public interest
Less commonly, we may also process pupils' personal data in situations where:
We have obtained consent to use it in a certain way
- We need to protect the individual's vital interests (or someone else's interests)
Where we have obtained consent to use pupils' personal data, this consent can be withdrawn at any time. We will make this clear when we ask for consent, and explain how consent can be withdrawn.
Some of the reasons listed above for collecting and using pupils' personal data overlap, and there may be several grounds which justify our use of this data.
Collecting this information
While the majority of information we collect about pupils is mandatory, there is some information that can be provided voluntarily.
Whenever we seek to collect information from you or your child, we make it clear whether providing it is mandatory or optional. If it is mandatory, we will explain the possible consequences of not complying.
How we store this data
We keep personal information about pupils while they are attending our school. We may also keep it beyond their attendance at our school if this is necessary in order to comply with our legal obligations. Our record retention policy sets out how long we keep information about pupils.
To view our policy please request a copy from the school office.
Data sharing
We do not share information about pupils with any third party without consent unless the law and our policies allow us to do so.
Where it is legally required, or necessary (and it complies with data protection law) we may share personal information about pupils with:
Our local authority – to meet our legal obligations to share certain information with it, such as safeguarding concerns and exclusions
EMET Trust
The Department for Education
The pupil's family and representatives
Educators and examining bodies
Our regulator Ofsted – as part of a formal inspection
Suppliers and service providers – to enable them to provide the service we have contracted them for
Financial organisations – payments for school dinners, trips, clubs etc.
Central and local government
Our auditors
Health authorities
Security organisations
Health and social welfare organisations
Professional advisers and consultants
Charities and voluntary organisations
Police forces, courts, tribunals
- Professional bodies
National Pupil Database
We are required to provide information about pupils to the Department for Education as part of statutory data collections such as the school census and early years census.
Some of this information is then stored in the National Pupil Database (NPD), which is owned and managed by the Department and provides evidence on school performance to inform research.
The database is held electronically so it can easily be turned into statistics. The information is securely collected from a range of sources including schools, local authorities and exam boards.
The Department for Education may share information from the NPD with other organisations which promote children's education or wellbeing in England. Such organisations must agree to strict terms and conditions about how they will use the data.
For more information, see the Department's webpage on how it collects and shares research data.
You can also contact the Department for Education with any further questions about the NPD.
Transferring data internationally
Where we transfer personal data to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area, we will do so in accordance with data protection law.
Parents and pupils' rights regarding personal data
Individuals have a right to make a 'subject access request' to gain access to personal information that the school holds about them.
Parents/carers can make a request with respect to their child's data where the child is not considered mature enough to understand their rights over their own data (usually under the age of 12), or where the child has provided consent.
If you make a subject access request, and if we do hold information about you or your child, we will:
Give you a description of it
Tell you why we are holding and processing it, and how long we will keep it for
Explain where we got it from, if not from you or your child
Tell you who it has been, or will be, shared with
Let you know whether any automated decision-making is being applied to the data, and any consequences of this
- Give you a copy of the information in an intelligible form
Individuals also have the right for their personal information to be transmitted electronically to another organisation in certain circumstances.
If you would like to make a request please contact our data protection officer.
Parents and carers also have a legal right to access their child's educational record. To request access, please contact Sarah Coleman.
Other rights
Under data protection law, individuals have certain rights regarding how their personal data is used and kept safe, including the right to:
Object to the use of personal data if it would cause, or is causing, damage or distress
Prevent it being used to send direct marketing
Object to decisions being taken by automated means (by a computer or machine, rather than by a person)
In certain circumstances, have inaccurate personal data corrected, deleted or destroyed, or restrict processing
Claim compensation for damages caused by a breach of the data protection regulations
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data protection officer.
We take any complaints about our collection and use of personal information very seriously.
If you think that our collection or use of personal information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate, or have any other concern about our data processing, please raise this with us in the first instance.
To make a complaint, please contact our data protection officer.
Alternatively, you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office:
Report a concern online at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/
Call 0303 123 1113
Or write to: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
Contact us
If you have any questions, concerns or would like more information about anything mentioned in this privacy notice, please contact our data protection officer:

Living life on Kaddaka station was predictable and profitable. Mala's talent for undetectable repairs has made her quite wealthy and the station quite popular. When a Reflex ship comes in hot, out of control and unable to stop, she is the woman for the job. The job itself is an audition for the Sector Guard, but unless Mala is successful the passengers of the ship will never be able to tell her the good news.
Isabi has been less than enthusiastic about meeting his new partner, until he sees her. Suddenly his interest is peaked. She doesn't seem to notice the pheromones that he exudes and she certainly doesn't fawn all over him. This woman may be worthy of her position as his partner, and he will not have her working with anyone else. Their talents make them the perfect team, now he just has to prove it to her.
Taking off her EVA suit was a lot easier than putting it on. Boots first, then helmet and finally, she unsealed the baggy thing. She stumbled free and stretched just as the hatch opened to reveal the occupants of the ship.
"Holy mother of stars," Mala whispered it as quietly as she could, but there was no getting around the fact that the male Selna was one of the most attractive things she had ever seen. She shook her head, of course he was. All Selna put out pheromones causing compatible races to want to mate. Mala's mixed bloodline was no exception.
She stayed out of their way and merely nodded to the pilot as she passed. It was easy to determine that she was the controller for the ship. The ports in her wrists gave it away. The pilot looked with a smile between Mala and Isabi. Apparently, Mala should have been writhing on the floor in front of the Selna. That just wasn't her style.
Her repair crew helped her look busy as the occupants made the long walk to the end of the repair bay and they waited until the Selna and pilot were out the door. The instant that the coast was clear, Mala stripped off her gloves and ran her hands over the hull. The minor and major damage caused by the blasts ceased to exist at her touch, the metal joining, sealing and healing under her fingers.
This was why she made the credits that she did. The money was compensation for the perfect repairs that she was capable of. It was her one skill, this repair talent, her freak factor when it came to blending in with other techs.
She moved slowly along the ship, inch by inch, clearing and eradicating all trace of the battle. Whatever had hurt this beautiful ship had been brutal. The damage had been deliberate and designed to turn the ship into a paralyzed meteor, it had worked. The poor baby.
She was murmuring to the ship when she reached the engine damage. "Gergar, I need some metal here." She stroked the superficial damage on the exterior of the housing and waited for the hand to tap her shoulder. She took the metal sheet blindly and held it in place, feeling it melt into the surface of the ship. She could repair anything as long as she had enough materials to patch up the holes.
"I am going to need three more of those if this engine was any indication." She clambered over the ship, keeping her focus on feeling the entirety of the ship at all times. It took her two more hours, but at last she was finished. Dizzy and terribly pleased with herself, Mala sat heavily next to the ship and turned to face her crew. Dismay filled her.
"You know, if I hadn't seen it for myself, I never would have believed it."
The Selna from the ship leaned on one of the pylons and played with one of the chunks of metal she had been using to reconstitute the engines.
"The report was quite insistent that she was capable of it. I am glad to see that it was not exaggerated." The pilot was smiling.
Whatever race she was from was in Mala's own makeup. She could feel kinship with the strange pale creature with its wide eyes and cheerful grin. Her crew was huddled together near the door, mouths gagged and arms and tail confined. "Let them go and tell me what you want."
The beautiful Selna moved close to her and whispered, "We want you."

< Features
Fedora 16 Eclipse Indigo Update
Update Fedora's Eclipse stack to Indigo releases. More information about Eclipse Indigo in Fedora can be found here.
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 16
- Last updated: 2011-09-07
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Detailed Description
Many Eclipse projects release annually in June. The 2011 version of this simultaneous release is known as "Indigo" and is made up of 39 projects and 33 million lines of code. The foundation of these projects is the Eclipse project itself, producing the Eclipse SDK which contains the Eclipse Platform, the Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT), and the Eclipse Plugin Development Environment (PDE).
This Fedora feature encompasses the updating of the Eclipse packages in Fedora to be their Helios versions. Note that not all eclipse-* packages in Fedora are hosted at eclipse.org which coordinates the simultaneous release so this feature does not include them (notable examples include PyDev which is shipped in Fedora as eclipse-pydev).
Benefit to Fedora
The latest and greatest versions of Eclipse packages will be available to Fedora users.
Update dependencies (see below), many eclipse-* packages, and test upgrade experience from existing Helios (2010 simultaneous release name) versions. The packages (SRPM names) that will be updated include:
- eclipse DONE
- eclipse-jdt DONE
- eclipse-pde DONE
- eclipse-platform DONE
- eclipse-rcp DONE
- eclipse-swt DONE
- eclipse-gef DONE
- eclipse-rse DONE
- eclipse-egit DONE
- eclipse-jgit DONE
- eclipse-pydev DONE
- eclipse-cdt DONE
- eclipse-linuxprofilingframework DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-context DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-tasks DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-docs DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-ide DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-versions DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-builds DONE
- eclipse-mylyn DONE
- eclipse-mylyn-commons DONE
- eclipse-valgrind DONE
- eclipse-testframework DONE
- eclipse-oprofile DONE
- eclipse-changelog DONE
- eclipse-gcov DONE
- eclipse-gprof DONE
- eclipse-callgraph DONE
- eclipse-dltk DONE
- eclipse-rpmstubby DONE
- eclipse-dtp DONE
- eclipse-shelled DONE
- eclipse-rpm-editor DONE
- eclipse-systemtapgui DONE
- eclipse-birt DONE
- eclipse-emf DONE
- eclipse-ptp DONE
How To Test
- x86 or x86_64 hardware is preferred for testing as the OpenJDK JIT (just in time compiler) is present there
- Installing the packages listed above in the "Scope" section should be installed
- Eclipse should start from the GNOME menu under Programming or from the command line
- The Eclipse Help system should display and allow clicking around the contents (Help menu -> Help Contents)
- Help -> About should show 3.7 somewhere as the version
- Functionality of plugins should be verified but this is plugin-specific
- eclipse-* should upgrade cleanly from their Indigo versions
User Experience
Expected to remain largely the same.
These dependencies are almost complete but updates are not yet in rawhide. There are few packages that depend on the Eclipse stack outside of eclipse-*.
Contingency Plan
New and Noteworthies
- Eclipse JDT debug
- Upstream Eclipse SDK 3.7
- Eclipse SWT
- Eclipse TM
- EGit
- JGit
- Pydev (main page contains release notes)
- Linux Tools
- Mylyn

The following is an amazing article rebutting arguments for same-sex "marriage". It is written without any religious bias. I encourage you to follow the link back to the original post and read the comments, there are some very telling ones from homosexuals who live chaste lives.
Examining the most common arguments for redefining marital unions …and understanding why they are flawed
By Brandon Vogt – OSV Newsweekly, 1/13/2013
Perhaps no issue is more nerve-wracking today than same-sex marriage. It's a magnet for controversy, evoking strong reactions from those on either side of the debate. But beneath all the fiery passion and rhetoric, there are real arguments to evaluate. In this article, we'll examine the 10 most common ones made in favor of same-sex marriage, many of which you've probably heard before. By pointing out the flaws, we'll show how each argument ultimately comes up short.
However, before we begin, let's note a few things. First, this article concerns civil marriage — marriage as defined and promoted by the state. It doesn't deal with the Church's sacramental understanding, although the two often overlap. Second, the responses to the arguments are emphatically nonreligious. They don't depend on any sacred text or divine revelation. They're based on reason, philosophy, biology and history. Third, this article only refutes arguments in favor of same-sex marriage. It doesn't touch upon the many positive arguments supporting traditional marriage.
One more note: This is not an attack on people with same-sex attractions. All people, regardless of sexual orientation, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Instead, this article is a rational look at whether civil marriage, an institution that touches all people and cultures, should be redefined.
1. Marriage has evolved throughout history, so it can change again.
Different cultures have treated marriage differently. Some promoted arranged marriages. Others tied marriage to dowries. Still others saw marriage as a political relationship through which they could forge family alliances.
But all these variations still embraced the fundamental, unchanging essence of marriage. They still saw it, in general, as a public, lifelong partnership between one man and one woman for the sake of generating and raising children.
This understanding predates any government or religion. It's a pre-political, pre-religious institution evident even in cultures that had no law or faith to promote it.
Yet, even supposing the essence of marriage could change, would that mean it should? We know from other areas of life such as medical research and nuclear physics that just because you can do something doesn't mean you ought. After all, such action may not be ethical or serve the common good. Even if this argument had historical basis, it would not necessarily be a good reason to change the meaning of marriage.
2. Same-sex marriage is primarily about equality.
This argument is emotionally powerful since we all have deep, innate longings for fairness and equality. Moreover, history has given us many failures in this area, including women banned from voting and African-Americans denied equal civil rights. The question, of course, is whether same-sex couples are denied equality by not being allowed to marry each other.
To answer that, we first must understand equality. Equality is not equivalency. It does not mean treating every person or every group in exactly the same way. To use an analogy, men and women have equal rights, but because they significantly differ they require separate restrooms. Equality means treating similar things similarly, but not things that are fundamentally different.
Second, there are really two issues here: the equality of different people and the equality of different relationships. The current marriage laws already treat all people equally. Any unmarried man and unmarried woman can marry each other, regardless of their sexual orientation; the law is neutral with respect to orientation just as it ignores race and religion.
The real question is whether same-sex relationships differ significantly from opposite-sex relationships, and the answer is yes. The largest difference is that same-sex couples cannot produce children, nor ensure a child's basic right to be raised by his mother and father. These facts alone mean we're talking about two very different types of relationships. It's wrong, therefore, to assume the state should necessarily treat them as if they were the same.
Same-sex marriage advocates may argue that it's discriminatory to favor heterosexual spouses over homosexual couples. With all of the benefits flowing from marriage, this unfairly endorses one set of relationships over another. But if the state endorsed same-sex marriage, it would then be favoring gay "spouses" over unmarried heterosexual couples. The argument runs both ways and is ultimately self-defeating.
3. Everyone has the right to marry whomever he or she loves.
Though catchy, few people truly believe this slogan. Most of us acknowledge there should be at least some limitations on marriage for social or health reasons. For example, a man can't marry a young child or a close relative. And if a man is truly in love with two different women, he's legally not allowed to marry both of them, even if both agree to such an arrangement.
So, the real question here is not whether marriage should be limited, but how. To answer that, we must determine why the government even bothers with marriage. It's not to validate two people who love each other, nice as that is. It's because marriage between one man and one woman is likely to result in a family with children. Since the government is deeply interested in the propagation and stabilization of society, it promotes and regulates this specific type of relationship above all others.
To put it simply, in the eyes of the state, marriage is not about adults; it's about children. Claiming a "right to marry whomever I love" ignores the true emphasis of marriage.
Notice that nobody is telling anyone whom he or she can or cannot love. Every person, regardless of orientation, is free to enter into private romantic relationships with whomever he or she chooses. But there is no general right to have any relationship recognized as marriage by the government.
4. Same-sex marriage won't affect you, so what's the big deal?
Since marriage is a relationship between two individuals, what effect would it have on the rest of us? At first glance, it sounds like a good question, but a deeper look reveals that since marriage is a public institution, redefining it would affect all of society.
First, it would weaken marriage. After same-sex marriage was legislated in Spain in 2005, marriage rates plummeted. The same happened in the Netherlands. Redefining marriage obscures its meaning and purpose, thereby discouraging people from taking it seriously.
Second, it would affect education and parenting. After same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada, the Toronto School Board implemented a curriculum promoting homosexuality and denouncing "heterosexism." They also produced posters titled "Love Knows No Gender," which depicted both homosexual and polygamous relationships as equivalent to marriage. Despite parents' objections, the board decreed that they had no right to remove their children from such instruction. This and many similar cases confirm that when marriage is redefined, the new definition is forced on children, regardless of their parents' desires.Third, redefining marriage would threaten moral and religious liberty. This is already evident in our own country. In Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., for instance, Catholic Charities can no longer provide charitable adoption services based on new definitions of marriage. Elsewhere, Canadian Bishop Frederick Henry was investigated by the Alberta Human Rights Commission for simply explaining the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality in a newspaper column. Examples like this show how redefining marriage threatens religious freedom.
5. Same-sex marriage will not lead to other redefinitions.
When marriage revolves around procreation, it makes sense to restrict it to one man and one woman. That's the only relationship capable of producing children. But if we redefine marriage as simply a loving, romantic union between committed adults, what principled reason would we have for rejecting polygamist or polyamorous — that is, multiple-person — relationships as marriages?
Thomas Peters, cultural director at the National Organization for Marriage, doesn't see one. "Once you sever the institution of marriage from its biological roots, there is little reason to cease redefining it to suit the demands of various interest groups," Peters said.
This isn't just scaremongering or a hypothetical slippery slope. These aftereffects have already been observed in countries that have legalized same-sex marriage. For example, in Brazil and the Netherlands, three-way relationships were recently granted the full rights of marriage. After marriage was redefined in Canada, a polygamist man launched legal action to have his relationships recognized by law. Even in our own country, the California Legislature passed a bill to legalize families of three or more parents.
Procreation is the main reason civil marriage is limited to two people. When sexual love replaces children as the primary purpose of marriage, restricting it to just two people no longer makes sense.
6. If same-sex couples can't marry because they can't reproduce, why can infertile couples marry?
This argument concerns two relatively rare situations: younger infertile couples and elderly couples. If marriage is about children, why does the state allow the first group to marry? The reason is that while we know every same-sex couple is infertile, we don't generally know that about opposite-sex couples.
Some suggest forcing every engaged couple to undergo mandatory fertility testing before marriage. But this would be outrageous. Besides being prohibitively expensive, it would also be an egregious invasion of privacy, all to detect an extremely small minority of couples.
Another problem is that infertility is often misdiagnosed. Fertile couples may be wrongly denied marriage under such a scenario. This is never the case for same-sex couples, who cannot produce children together.
But why does the government allow elderly couples to marry? It's true that most elderly couples cannot reproduce (though women as old as 70 have been known to give birth). However, these marriages are so rare that it's simply not worth the effort to restrict them. Also, elderly marriages still feature the right combination of man and woman needed to make children. Thus they provide a healthy model for the rest of society, and are still capable of offering children a home with a mother and a father.
7. Children will not be affected since there is no difference between same-sex parents and opposite-sex parents.
This argument was most famously stated in 2005 when the American Psychological Association (APA) wrote that "not a single study has found children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents."
However, several recent studies have put that claim to rest. In June, LSU scholar Loren Marks published a peer-reviewed paper in Social Science Research. It examined the 59 studies that the APA relied on for its briefing. Marks discovered that not one of the studies used a large, random, representative sample of lesbian or gay parents and their children. Several used extremely small "convenience" samples, recruiting participants through advertisements or word of mouth, and many failed to even include a control group. Furthermore, the studies did not track the children over time and were largely based on interviews with parents about the upbringing of their own children — a virtual guarantee of biased results.
One month later, Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus released a comprehensive study titled "How Different Are the Adult Children of Parents Who Have Same-Sex Relationships?" His research used a large, random and national sample and its scope was unprecedented among prior work in this field. Contrary to the APA, Regnerus found that for a majority of outcomes, children raised by parents with same-sex relationships drastically underperformed children raised in a household with married, biological parents.
He quickly noted that his study didn't necessarily show that same-sex couples are bad parents, but that it did definitively put to rest the claim that there are "no differences" among parenting combinations.
8. Opposition to same-sex marriage is based on bigotry, homophobia and religious hatred.
These accusations are not so much an argument for same-sex marriage as personal attacks designed to shut down real dialogue. Let's look at each one.
First, bigotry. A quick visit to Facebook, Twitter or any online comment box confirms that for many people, support for traditional marriage is tantamount to bigotry. This holds off-line, too. In November, Scottish Cardinal Keith O'Brien was pegged "Bigot of the Year" by a gay rights group for simply opposing same-sex marriage in public.
So, is the charge accurate? Well, the definition of bigotry is "unwilling to tolerate opinions different than your own." However, tolerating opinions does not require enshrining them through law. One can tolerate advocates of same-sex marriage, and seriously engage the idea, while still rejecting it for compelling reasons.
Second, homophobia. This refers to a fear of homosexuality, and the assumption is that people who oppose same-sex marriage do so because they're irrationally afraid. But as this article shows, there are many good reasons to oppose same-sex marriage that have nothing to do with fear. Branding someone "homophobic" is typically used to end rational discussion.
Third, religious hatred. Some people disagree with same-sex marriage solely for religious reasons. But, again, as this article demonstrates, one can disagree for other reasons, without appealing to the Bible, divine revelation or any religious authority. You don't need religious teachings to understand, analyze and discuss the purpose of marriage or its effects on the common good.
If these accusations were all true, it would mean that the overwhelming majority of people throughout time — who by and large supported traditional marriage — would likewise be homophobic, intolerant bigots. That would include the most profound thinkers in many different traditions: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Musonius Rufus, Xenophanes, Plutarch, St. Thomas Aquinas, Immanuel Kant and Mahatma Gandhi. Most people would reject such an absurdity.
9. The struggle for same-sex marriage is just like the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
The suggestion here is that sex is similar to race, and therefore denying marriage for either reason is wrong. The problem, however, is that interracial marriage and same-sex marriage are significantly different.
For instance, nothing prevents interracial couples from fulfilling the basic essence of marriage — a public, lifelong relationship ordered toward procreation. Because of this, the anti-miscegenation laws of the 1960s were wrong to discriminate against interracial couples. Yet same-sex couples are not biologically ordered toward procreation and, therefore, cannot fulfill the basic requirements of marriage.
It's important to note that African-Americans, who have the most poignant memories of marital discrimination, generally disagree that preventing interracial marriage is like banning same-sex marriage. For example, when Californians voted on Proposition 8, a state amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, some 70 percent of African-Americans voted in favor.
According to Peters, "Likening same-sex marriage to interracial marriage is puzzling and offensive to most African-Americans, who are shocked at such a comparison."
10. Same-sex marriage is inevitable, so we should stand on the right side of history.
On Nov. 6, voters in three states — Maine, Maryland and Washington — voted against marriage as it has traditionally been understood. In Minnesota, voters rejected a measure to amend the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. Many advocates of same-sex marriage considered this a sign that the marriage tides are turning. But is that true? And if so, how does that shift impact the case for same-sex marriage?
First, if the tide is in fact turning, it's still little more than a ripple. The states that voted in November to redefine marriage did so with slim margins, none garnering more than 53 percent of the vote. The tiny victories were despite record-breaking funding advantages, sitting governors campaigning for same-sex marriage and strong support among the media.
Before these four aberrations, 32 states had voted on the definition of marriage. Each and every time they voted to affirm marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Of the six states that recognized same-sex marriage before the November election, none arrived there through a vote by the people. Each redefinition was imposed by state legislatures and courts. Overall, Americans remain strongly in favor of traditional marriage. Most polls show roughly two-thirds of the country wants to keep marriage as it is.
Yet, even if the tides have recently shifted, that does not make arguments in its favor any more persuasive. We don't look to other moral issues and say, "Well, people are eventually going to accept it, so we might as well get in line." We shouldn't do that for same-sex marriage, either.
