Newspaper websites historically have never been photo friendly. In the first five years of the active Internet, most photos were compressed to a postage-stamped size of around 15k -30k. They had to in those promising days of 28K modems, where one oversized graphic element would bring a homepage to a screeching halt.
I think many photojournalists gave the early Web a big thumbs down as a place to display their work. At my newspaper, us photojournalists' collectively shrugged our shoulders when the "web guy" would say that he posted one of our photos online. Later requests on my part, to up the size on our online pictures, was met by one photo manager's insistence that the images would be downloaded (stolen) or mass-produced across the internet. At that moment I gave up trying and, instead, embraced video as my online medium of choice.
Then, several years ago, Boston.com's The Big Picture blog rocked my world when it launched. Here, finally, was a large format online gallery that showcased photojournalism the way it should be. The images were displayed in a format that also didn't frustrate the viewer with slow page loads. The minute I saw it, I knew we had to have something like it for Spokesman.com. Unfortunately our web team was in middle of developing a ground-up overhaul of our CMS, and it never made the priority list.
While I waited, other newspapers around the country embraced the idea of increasing the format size of their photo galleries. The New York Times Lens Blog, Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and many others started big picture galleries.
A few months ago, Ryan Pitts, Spokesman.com's online director, who was damned tired of my whining, came to me with a surprise. " I built you a big picture gallery," he said. After picking my jaw up off the floor, I took a look at what he built.
I was nothin' but smiles the rest of the day. He gave me the keys, so to speak, to a beautiful Corvette. Behind the scenes, the gallery is really nothing more than a tool that I can access through our web-based Django admin page. I just upload my photos, paste in the captions, add some intro text and a headline, hit save and, drum roll please, instant big picture gallery. The nice thing is, because it is a web-based tool, I can create a gallery from anywhere in the field.
What I like best about our gallery is its clean design. For a long time I pushed the idea of a black background for photos, but our gallery is white and I am fine with that. In fact, I think it is easier on the eyes. I also like how I can pop in drop quotes in between the photos. I am pushing to have commenting on the gallery, which I hope will be enabled soon.
Update: here is some more links to big picture galleries: Tampabay.com's All Eyes, SacBee's The Frame Any more? Send links my way…

Night Of The Living Shred
I had been wanting to shoot a video at night on the system 2.0 for a long time and what better time to do it then Halloween when everything should be dark and spooky? And talk about scary, the weather channel was calling for a cold front to move through Central Florida the night of the planned shoot. (We all know nothing scares Floridians like cold weather.) And as promised, the day of the shoot was windy and rainy all day, but I already had 2 cameramen lined up and everything was a go, so I just crossed my fingers hoping.
The sun started to dip under the trees, the skies calmed, and I started to feel less nervous as everything was underway. Ben Horan was the first rider to arrive decked out in overalls. Everyone else followed shortly after, before I knew it the lights were on and the cameras were rolling. We had a little difficulty with lighting not being optimal at the beginning, but were able to work out the bugs. I can't begin to explain the difficulty of hitting a rail at night but let's just say, it's good it was Halloween season and the goal was to be scary. But once everyone got a couple hits in, the fun began.
Nick Taylor, appropriately dressed as Speedy Gonzalez, was speedy to get to work. Josh Kirby had some special powers that night with his Harry Potter outfit, and locked in on the incline repeatedly. Keaton Bowlby came as Waldo, but we all knew where he was: throwing hammers off the incline. After hitting the incline for a long time we moved over to the flat bar fun box. Stacking pumpkins on the edge of the box kept everyone in the Halloween spirit. Matt Hooker had no problem flying across the flat bar with his cape on. Travis Doran came prepared as a baseball player and hit some home runs on the lower box. After everyone spent some time on the fun box, Nick wanted to move the pumpkins over so he could ollie over them. He some how popped up over the pumpkin while on the box.
Everyone rode late into the night until finally the dreaded bad weather showed up. The rain and high winds shut us down, but not until well after midnight. Big thanks to all the riders, The Projects, Patrick Garrett, Pat Ponakos and everyone else that helped me complete my vision that night. You're going to have to check out the video a little bit later to see what all went down!

That's always a trade.. Buying comes out of the capital bucket, leasing comes out of the expense bucket, and they have very different treatments, accounting wise. Don't forget that JPL works on a "cost reimbursement" basis: that is, we spend money, and the gov't, via NASA, reimburses those costs, and ONLY those costs. There are literally bookshelves full of rules (the Federal Acquisition Regulations) that tell you what is allocable, accountable, and reimburseable. JPL cannot borrow money to pay for things: the US government will not pay for interest on borrowed money. Most capital investments have to be approved by an act of congress, and the amortization of that investment requires special treatment to make sure that costs are properly allocated to each project. Leasing makes it easy..Accountants cost money too, if you do march down the amortization process. Many, many commercial companies have similar sorts of issues, particularly with respect to transactions between divisions (e.g. see Regulation W for banking), all designed to prevent "hiding profits". > > >Interestingly, the monthly cost for both organizations is about the > >same ( a few hundred bucks a month for hardware lease+service). > > Let "a few hundred" = $200, and of course there are 36 months > in 3 years, so JPL pays the vendor $7200 for each machine, > plus "support" for this term. At the end of the lease the > vendor gets the computer back, and they probably sell it for > a few hundred dollars, just to sweeten the already cushy > deal. actually, a mid range desktop machine is about $150, and they actually do monthly comparisons against other vendors, so the cost is probably pretty reasonable for a large volume consumer. Don't forget that part of the cost is the (legally required) paperwork to prove that the taxpayer's not getting the shaft. (e.g. those comparisons don't happen for free, and someone has to collate the data, put it into a report, etc.) The office staff may need support once and a while, but one can assume that the average JPL engineer or scientist can more than handle all their own PC software issues, and at worst would just need to swap a machine if there was a major hardware issue. In other words, the average support cost to the vendor for the technical staff is but a tiny fraction of what JPL pays them. The office staff may need support once and a while, > but one can assume that the average JPL engineer or scientist > can more than handle all their own PC software issues, and at > worst would just need to swap a machine if there was a major > hardware issue. In other words, the average support cost to > the vendor for the technical staff is but a tiny fraction of > what JPL pays them. Actually, before they went to a centralized support model, they found that the "shadow administrator" and "shadow support staff" costs were huge, and more to the point, not accurately measureable (what you can't measure, you can't manage). And, while most JPL technical staff are certainly capable of doing their own support, there's good reason for them not to: they typically have a more than full time job doing something more specialized (e.g. designing deep space communication links, or writing nav software for rovers, or designing and building rovers), and every minute they spend fooling with their computer is a minute not getting the *real job* of space exploration done. It's like working on my house: I'm capable of painting the walls myself, but I hire a professional to do it, because there are better uses for my time (and the specialist will do a better job). Support isn't trivial here, even for office staff. For a variety of reasons (and not unique to JPL.. Any other 5000+ employee, $1B year business will have similar ones), we have an amazingly wide array of various and sundry institutional applications to do things like timecards, keeping track of inventory, document mangement, etc. I'd venture that the desktop support staff spends more than 70% of their time dealing with non-OS related software issues (e.g. why is my email not getting through), and a very tiny fraction of their time responding to hardware problems or OS issues. For instance, they're rolling out a new "unified messaging system" which will integrate calendaring, based on MS Exchange Server (for whatever reason.. That's irrelevant), and rather than saying "Use Outlook", which would certainly reduce support costs, they ARE supporting half a dozen email clients, web clients, a bunch of calendaring clients, not to mention a fairly heterogenous set of hardware platforms. Let us not forget IT security. This is a non-trivial matter when you have to manage tens of thousands of desktops and comply with dozens of pages of government regulation, NASA procedural instructions, etc. The upshot is, you get a fair amount for your $130/month support subscription. To put that in context, that's less than two hours of engineer time. > > Who's the vendor, Halliburton? No, it's a division of Lockheed Martin, but basically anyone in the business of doing what they do charges about the same amount of money. The business *is* fairly competitive (and gets recompeted every 3-5 years, I think), and they changed vendors a few cycles ago. For what it's worth, we have a similar sort of scenario when dealing with test equipment. Do you own it, and have inhouse inventory, (with all the peculiar government contract stuff about cost accounting), or do you have an outside vendor provide it on lease/rent. Same sorts of heterogenous product line. Same sorts of issues with support (e.g. test and calibration of instruments). Same sort of problems with purchasing capital equipment on a cost reimbursement job (the government discourages you charging the full cost of your infrastructure to their job). A big disadvantage of in-house is that it leads to an inventory of ancient gear that becomes hard to maintain, and balkanized ownership (we bought that for Project X, and though Project X is long gone, the former staff of Project X still owns it). A big advantage of in-house is that you can walk across the street and pick up an oscilloscope. Jim

FHWA presents partnership awards
Representatives from the Idaho division of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) praised the work of several ITD employees recently when announcing the 2010 partnership awards. FHWA state administrator Peter Hartman and assistant Gus Shanine presented plaques to several recipients during the Idaho Transportation Board meeting in Boise, Dec. 8.
ITD's Mathson chosen Rider of the Year
ITD's Dave Mathson, who works in technical support for Enterprise Technology Services, isn't bothered much by the daily round trip of about 56 miles. On most days, he relaxes and engages 8-10 others in casual conversation. Mathson is one of about 860 individuals who takes advantage of Ada County Highway District's Commuteride vans each month. Earlier this month, he was named Commuteride Rider of the Year for 2010.
District 1 presents service, safety awards
District 1 employees paused recently to honor colleagues for their contributions to the Transportation Department and to share the holiday spirit. Service and safety awards were presented Dec. 9 during the holiday luncheon. The event also included a raffle for gift baskets, with the proceeds dedicated to a district employee activity committee that sponsors a summer barbecue and the holiday luncheon. The raffle generated about $900 for the fund.
COMPASS announces legislative positions
The Board of Directors of the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) identified its legislative priorities at its monthly Board meeting on Monday, December 20. The priorities, identified in five legislative position statements, highlight issues of importance to COMPASS members, who represent Treasure Valley cities, counties, highway districts, and other government organizations.

Rice Bread, Pullman-ish
I have two long slim loaf pans, vintage pans from the 1950's, which are my very favorite pan for baking 1-lb sized loaves of quick bread. My mother used this kind of pan for her cranberry bread, and her loaves always turned out perfectly. Several years ago my father came across some identical pans and mailed to me for my birthday. When I unwrapped them I began to cry because I thought that they were hers. Luckily, Mom hadn't quite given up baking yet! But now she has, and her pans are going to my sister-in-law, who's an amazing cook.
The straight sides of these pans are perfect for molded terrines, frozen or layered desserts, or even cakes. The slices are very square. You can get a sense of the proportions in the pictures of my Yogurt Cake.
As luck would have it, I also have a pair of similar vintage pans that are just over half the capacity of the long ones. If I had to grab something on the way out of a burning kitchen, it would be these 4 pans!
What's even cooler is that one of these pans has a slide-on cover. It can function as a Pullman pan, although it has some rounded edges and corners where a Pullman's are quite square. I've seen some beautiful-looking recipes for Pullman yeast loaves, but when I was paging through Dan Lepard's The Art of Handmade Bread; Contemporary European Recipes for the Home Baker and saw Rice Bread, which he cooked in a Pullman pan, I just knew that was the one I had to try in my covered pan. (Dan's book was published in Britain as The Handmade Loaf)
n.o.e.'s notes:
- The dimensions of most Pullman pans are larger than my pans, so I figured that I'd need to scale the recipe. I did my best to compare my pan size with the one Dan specifies and scaled the recipe accordingly.
- Things got a little tricky when I had to convert from fresh yeast to instant and then scale the amount.
- Dan's bread-making method is absolutely fascinating; it borders on a no-knead bread. First you mix entirely by hand - using your fingers. Than you knead it on an oiled surface ever so briefly: for 10 seconds every 10 minutes or so, letting the dough rest and develop in between. After a few rounds, the dough rises in its rising bowl or bucket.
- After the bulk rise and the proofing, I was left with a little ball of dough that was nowhere near big enough to fill that loaf pan. So I grabbed one of the shorter pans. I figured I'd bake the loaf uncovered (an option listed in the recipe) but then I noticed that the same sliding cover actually fit on the smaller pan.
- The theory of the Pullman is that the bread will try to rise as it bakes, but the lid will constrain it, forcing the dough into every corner of the pan and producing a dense, tight crumb.
- The cover is placed on the pan for the second rise (proofing). Once it was in place, it was hard for me to gauge how much the bread had risen in the pan and to guess how much more it might want to rise in the oven. Finally it seemed to be at a good baking point. I let it bake over half the time undisturbed, then was able to slide the top (you want to generously grease every part of a pullman pan) to test for doneness.
- Even though the pan was smaller and the lid kept the top flat, the loaf didn't rise to fill the entire pan, so it ended up with rounded top edges - which happened to match the bottom edges! The pictures don't really show it, but this was a diminutive loaf - so cute! Each slice was smaller than a deck of cards.
- I loved how the rice grains were still visible in the crust (see, in the picture above?)
- I was actually amazed that this bread turned out!
the verdict:
Soon after the bread cooled, I cut a piece off to taste (well, OK, I cut it to photograph, but then we had to taste it!) The first thing my husband said when he took a bite was, "this bread tastes European." Bingo! How did he know?
I eat white bread so seldom that I forget just how good a good white bread can be. Although truth be told, I don't think I've ever had white bread that tastes this good! The rice adds a chewy, dense and moist element to the texture, and the underlying flavor will differ depending on the type of honey used and even the oil that's used for the kneading.
As good as the bread was plain - and it was really good plain - it was even more wonderful toasted. It crisped up on the outside but remained dense, chewy and moist inside. It was about as substantial as a white bread could get. A big punch from a little loaf!
This loaf is heading over to Yeastspotting, and so should you!

It's so nice that you have your vintage pans ... and the memories that go with them! I would love to try this bread. When I had a bread machine I made a white bread in it that was unusually flavorful (for white bread)...and I'm still not sure why (maybe extra salt!) I'm kind of into toast lately too. So this post is already bookmarked!

Nancy, I didn't realize you'd started a new blog! I'm so inspired by you attacking yeast breads as a result of the Kugelhopf. I skipped that one as I have an irrational fear of yeast. I think I just need to snap out of it and give it a try. I have such a mindset against white breads but you're right, I'd forgotten how good a good white loaf can taste. Congrats on the new blog and your newfound love of baking bread!

I LOVE your blogs!! I feel like we'd get along real well, so much in common! I look forward to trying the rice bread, but I think I'm going to try it with the Black rice (or "Forbidden Rice")along with the white. Have you ever tried black rice? My family LOVES the nutty flavor and, well, the kids just like eating "purple rice"!
Thanks for the pleasure of reading about all your yummy inventions and experiments!

Store has a narrow marketing focus — either specializing on specific merchandise, such as toys, shoes, or clothing, or on a target audience, such as children, tourists, or oversize women. Size of store varies — some specialty stores might be retail giants such as Toys "R" Us, Foot Locker, and The Body Shop, while others might be small, individual shops such as Nutters of Savile Row.Such stores, regardless of size, tend to have a greater depth of the specialist stock than general stores, and generally offer specialist product knowledge valued by the consumer.

Maruti vendors yet to approach Gujarat govt for land
While Maruti Suzuki India has set the ball rolling on its new project at Hansalpur in Gujarat, the company's vendors are yet to approach the state government for land.
A senior state government official informed that no vendor has yet approached the state government for land near the Maruti Suzuki plant site at Hansalpur.
"Once, the work on the main plant starts and there is some work on ground, we expect suppliers to come asking for land," he clarified.
Maruti was allotted around 640 acres of land at Hansalpur which lies nestled between Mehsana district and the Sanand-Viramgam area, and is around 55-60 km from the industrial hub Sanand which houses the Tata Motors Nano plant and the upcoming Ford India plant. The company asked for and was eventually allotted a second land parcel of around 300 acres about 15-20 km from the main site. The second site is expected to house a vendor park.
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi had visited Suzuki Motor Corporation chief Osamu Suzuki in Hamamatsu in Japan in July this year. The investment meet organised by Modi in Hamamatsu was attended by 430 representatives of the automobile industry. Hamamatsu is an auto hub. R C Bhargava, chairman, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd had said in August when Osamu Suzuki visited Narendra Modi in Gujarat that auto ancillary units of Hamamatsu have shown great interest in Gujarat.
"The vendors would seek the government's help in terms of allotment of land, infrastructure, etc," Bhargava had said then. Meanwhile, MSIL has put its Hansalpur plans on fast track. It has recently taken possession of the land parcels, a state government official informed and is in talks with the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) for water supply.
According to industry sources, the company is likely to consider putting up a diesel vehicles or engines plant at Hansalpur, however, the company could not be reached for a comment on the same.

...and a description written by H.C. Bainbridge, published by The Connoisseur magazine in June 1924:
"Miniatures of the late King of Denmark and his Queen are framed as the surprise feature in the Imperial egg. The outer surface is in light blue and white enamel with ornaments in gold and precious stones. On the top are the armorial bearings of the Danish Royal Family, and it is supported by Danish heraldic lions."
This is one of the biggest Imperial Easter Eggs to have been made, and was created to celebrate that the Dowager Empress - Danish born Maria Feadorovna - returned to Denmark for the 40th Anniversary of her father's accession to the throne in 1903.
In 1904 and 1905 no eggs were made. But in 1906 came the "Moscow Kremlin Egg", or the "Uspenski Cathedral Egg"!
This is the largest of the Fabergé eggs, inspired by the Cathedral of the Assumption (Uspenski) in the Moscow Kremlin. This cathedral is where all the Tsars - including Nicholas II himself - were crowned.
Flanked by two circular, and two square turrets, sits the dome of the Cathedral of the Dormition in white opalescent enamel, topped by a gold cupola. The interior of the church, with its carpets, tiny enameled icons and High Altar on an oval glass plate is made visible through four triple windows.
The square towers are based on the Spassky Tower, bearing the coat-of-arms of the Russian Empire and Moscow, and inset with chiming clocks (1,2 cm in diameter). The whole thing is standing on a crenelated gold base and an octagonal white onyx plinth, signed "Fabergé " and dated 1904. The walls of the cathedral are decorated with tiny enameled icons of Our Lady of Kazan and Christ Pantocrator.
The surprise in this egg is a clockwork music box with its original gold key at the base of the egg. The music box plays "Izhe Khveruviny" ("Cherubim Hymn"), a favorite hymn of Tsar Nicholas II.
This egg commemorates the return to Moscow by the royal couple Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna in 1903. They had been avoiding the capital since a riot broke out during the coronation of Nichols, that killed hundreds of Moscovites. As the date 1904 - engraved in the base of the egg indicates, this was the year the egg was to be represented, but this was delayed because of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), and the assassination in the Kremlin of Nicholas' favorite uncle and brother-in-law, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich. So instead the "Moscow Kremlin Egg" was delivered in 1906. Despite - or maybe because of - these sad memories, this egg was kept in Alexandra Feodorovna's own Mauve Sitting Room in the Alexander Palace.

Adrenal Tumors PheochromocytomaAdrenal Tumors Pheochromocytoma - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What are adrenal tumors?
There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney toward the back. Tumors of the adrenal glands are rare. However, when present, they can cause many problems by excess secretion of certain adrenal-produced hormones. One type of tumor of the adrenal glands is called a pheochromocytoma.
What is a pheochromocytoma?
A pheochromocytoma is an adrenal gland tumor that secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones. These hormones are responsible for regulating heart rate and blood pressure, among other functions. Pheochromocytomas occur most frequently in young to middle-aged adults between the ages of 30 and 60.
What are the symptoms of pheochromocytoma?
The most common symptom of pheochromocytoma is high blood pressure, which is sometimes extreme. Other symptoms are usually nonexistent, unless the person experiences pressure from the tumor. Symptoms can also be brought on by emotional stress, changes in posture, or if a patient is taking beta-blocker drugs for a heart disorder. The following are the most common symptoms of pheochromocytoma. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Other symptoms may include:
Rapid pulse
Clammy skin
The symptoms of pheochromocytoma may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is pheochromocytoma diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for pheochromocytoma may include:
Blood and urine tests - to measure hormone levels.
Computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Radioisotope scan - uses radioactive substances introduced into the body to create a functional image of the tumor.
Treatment for pheochromocytoma:
Specific treatment for pheochromocytoma will be determined by your physician based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include one or more of the following:
Surgery - to remove the tumor. The surgeon may remove one or both adrenal glands. Surgery may be performed either through an open incision or through several small incisions using a laparoscope (a small thin tube with a video camera attached).
External radiation (external beam therapy) - a treatment that precisely sends high levels of radiation directly to the cancer cells. The machine is controlled by the radiation therapist. Since radiation is used to kill cancer cells and to shrink tumors, special shields may be used to protect the tissue surrounding the treatment area. Radiation treatments are painless and usually last a few minutes.
Chemotherapy - the use of anticancer drugs to treat cancerous cells. In most cases, chemotherapy works by interfering with the cancer cell's ability to grow or reproduce. Different groups of drugs work in different ways to fight cancer cells. The oncologist will recommend a treatment plan for each individual.

Zora Neale Hurston is considered one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature. Hurston was closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance and has influenced such writers as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Gayle Jones, Alice Walker, and Toni Cade Bambara.
In 1975, Ms. Magazine published Alice Walker's essay, "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" reviving interest in the author. Hurston's four novels and two books of folklore resulted from extensive anthropological research and have proven invaluable sources on the oral cultures of African America.
Through her writings, Robert Hemenway wrote in The Harlem Renaissance Remembered, Hurston "helped to remind the Renaissance--especially its more bourgeois members--of the richness in the racial heritage."

White Wedding
DISCLAIMER: You know what's JKR's, though the history of House of Malfoy is, as far as I know, all mine. I know Malfoy is taking liberties with Muggle history. I'm the historian, he's not. If Bayard, Tertullian or the Commonwealth of Virginia wants their tags back they can stuff it. :-P
"My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, a toast. The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Toujours pur." The response rumbled back with a clinking of glasses and silence from the heirloom enchanted harpsichord, which had been playing a selection of classical music.
Toujours pur. Lucius Malfoy, sole heir to four centuries of tradition and the greatest fortune in the wizarding world, leaned back in his chair with a respectful expression on his cold features and a slight inward smile at the poor, ragged aristocrats, clinging to their traditions even though the House's glory stood three hundred years in the past. Now the Most Ancient House was reduced to marrying their daughters - and maybe yet their sons - into money they could no longer raise themselves. Tomorrow, he himself would join their ranks, the pick of their daughters the price to restore a shadow of the Black family's influence. Tomorrow, he would have his rightful place in the very top rank of society in return for supporting three aged Blacks and one child - two of them near death in their town house - and a promise to revive the House's titles with his second son, should neither of the Black boys live to inherit.
The round of toasts continued, names and mottoes to make even the Malfoy fortune seem very nouveau indeed. Rosier, Parkinson, Fudge, Crouch, Delacour, Ivanova, Scrimgeour, Zabini, Bragge, d'Umfraville, even the sadly reduced Prewett, round the table in no particular order save that the handful of guests from even lesser families merited none at all. After all, the Gringotts precedence would hardly do when the host was a mere Malfoy. A more pointed insult to the comparative youth of the family would have been hard to devise, and the Blacks had no interest in annoying their Portkey back to wealth and influence. Lucius returned his attention to the toasts.
"To Carrow. Fidelis sine dubio." Ever in command, Alecto gracefully nodded at the unexpected recognition of her family. Irish and pitifully poor, they had fallen even further than the Blacks and merited little respect even for their debased blood. A Carrow, though, had sent a young French wizard named Marc d'Osebert to 'liaise' with a Muggle revolutionary and the House of Malfoy owed everything to that reluctant order. Her brother barely looked up to acknowledge the toast. Lucius decided it was time for a toast of his own, to his oldest ally and confidant.
"I give you Lestrange. Sang pur." A tight, vicious grin spread across the face of Bellatrix Black. This was her sort of thing, a motto she might have been born to espouse. Again, the palatial dining room resounded with the toast, the occupants started out of their post-prandial lethargy by their host's low, cold voice. The tone of the response varied from bored formality to chilling enthusiasm.
"Sans remords." Pure blood and no mercy. Words to live by in the years to come. Not all present - not even most - approved of the shadowy presence of the Dark Lord, or of his tactics. None would dispute his goals. The cavilling cowards Fudge and Delacour might whinge about measured retrenchment and peaceful co-existence, but even they recognised that the 'reforms' of the last three decades had gone entirely too far. Lucius himself did not intend to allow the Dark Lord to rule the world for a thousand years; he was too dangerous to live long. In the meantime, supporting him behind the scenes was safe, productive and not a little enjoyable. When his fall came, the name 'Malfoy' would be remembered as leader of the Loyal Opposition and could settle into the role of grey eminence, whilst the chosen front man enjoyed only the eunuch's prerogative. Responsibility without power - all for which the cretin would be fit.
Daydreaming over, Lucius returned his attention to his party without ever having allowed his expression to flicker from one of attentive respect. The toasts were winding down; only a few names had yet to be called. At last, Rudolphus Lestrange raised the final toast.
"My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen. A toast, if you will, to the man of the hour. The Heir of Malfoy: his family, his bride and his good fortune. Sic semper mundanis!"
With a few brief words of thanks, Lucius dismissed the assembled guests - among them representatives of almost all those families that kept to the old ways - until the morrow. He looked forward to an hour trading news and opinions with Rudolphus. Formal dinners were all very well, but his rare evenings with Rudy were among the few things he genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately, his enjoyable chat was not to be. As the last few guests filed out, Bellatrix Black peeled off from the three Scrimgeours and stood by Lucius' chair, waiting. Taking the hint from a glare that could surely kill Basilisks, Rudolphus quietly left to wait in the billiard room.
"Lucius, how are you?" He was, in truth, somewhat surprised at Bella's circumlocution. There was a wedding reception the next day for the Black family to mouth polite nothings at their saviour. Bellatrix Black didn't do that sort of thing, anyway. Even for her, staring down older and richer wizards was not something done for no reason. Slightly piqued, he decided that a dismissive reply should suffice. After all, what couldn't wait until tomorrow?
"I just wanted to know something - perhaps it would be useful for my speech tomorrow."
"Not at all. In the 1640s, Chief Councillor Algernon Carrow, who led the least unstable faction of the old Council in those days, decided - almost disastrously for our world and very fortunately for me - to become involved in one of the Muggle conflicts of the day. Court wizards were still common then, and he thought he could keep a foot in each camp, as it were. The revolutionaries, a strange and fanatical lot, looked very unlikely to win, so he didn't bother to send them anyone qualified.
"Instead, he sent a very young French wizard named Marc Osebert, who was practically unknown. Osebert did a quite acceptable job, never revealing much about us even to Cornwell - he was the Muggle leader, and quite perceptive for what he was. After a few years, Cornwell won his war and Osebert was suddenly liaison to the legitimate Muggle government, a considerable promotion. As Protector of England, Cornwell was entitled to know about our people, but when Osebert told him, he lost what little mind he had. We were an 'abomination unto God,' and he vowed to exterminate every last wizard if it took a thousand years and a million lives." At this, Bellatrix gave a snort.
"Hah. Let him try." Lucius did not have much patience with this slight upon his ancestor's achievements.
"We were weak and divided. It could have done no good. Fortunately, the old King's son came back. His house had always been friendly to us, but the Council, more or less unified for a change under the second Alois d'Umfraville, said he had no chance of winning. Marc changed sides on his own authority, just in time for old Cornwell to die and his son to give in completely. The new King was so grateful he gave my illustrious ancestor a Muggle title - Lord Roxbury - and the nickname 'notre fidele seigneur de la mal foi' - our faithful traitor.
"Once Osebert died, his son, Marius, was kept out of his father's profitable dalliance in Muggle politics by the Statute of Secrecy. He lost the title Roxbury, though my sources tell me the Muggles consider it merely dormant, and hated the name Osebert so much that he adopted his father's nickname and became Marius Malfoy. Malfoy Manor was built on the Roxbury estate by his son, Julius."
"Fascinating. I never knew all that money came from Muggles." Bellatrix forestalled an icy glare by smiling twistedly. "I always knew they had some use other than target practice." Taking care to appear appropriately mollified, Lucius decided to take advantage of Bella's desire to share old war-stories. There was a lot the Blacks weren't telling him and nobody caught Lucius Malfoy napping.
"Oh, many uses, dear Bellatrix. As long as they don't interfere in our world, they're very handy. Gullible, numerous and rich. Perfect, far easier than doing less than legitimate business with people you might need as allies one day." Lucius paused, aware that he was about to step onto dangerous ground. "Speaking of allies, would you by any chance know why your House is willing to accept becoming a lesser branch of mine in as little as a year's time? Your cousins are, as I recall, young and competent wizards, most unlikely to die young and without issue. Is there anything coming that I should know about? The Dark Lord's plans may be inscrutable, but being prepared is always wise."
Lucius had intended this as a gentle pry into the paranoia of House Black. He certainly had not expected Bellatrix to flush with anger and turn her glare on him full force. Despite himself, he quavered a little inside and hoped it didn't show. His icy demeanour had been learned when dealing with the approximately sane, and the middle Black sister was something different. Something even a Death Eater feared. His cold blood almost froze in the veins as he remembered two poor fools who had duelled her in a cold Scottish wood as four Death Eaters watched. The tattered remains of Aurors McCale and Lannon had been an interesting mystery for the Muggles who found them. She held the glare long enough to make his wand hand itch and reach unconsciously for his pocket, then spoke.
"Even if a Malfoy bears its titles, the House of Black will never be subordinate to you. You underestimate the power of House pride and foolish pretension. The House accepts you only because of the weakness of their sons and their conviction that I will not live long enough to bear children. Sirius" - she spat the name with venom - "is a traitor; best friend and catamite to that Mudblood-lover Potter. The entailment magic means that whatever my bastard cousin does, he cannot fail to inherit whilst he lives, but he must not inherit. I'm going to enjoy his death. The Killing Curse is so ... limited.
"And poor Regulus, the snivelling fool. A weak reed, Lucius. The Dark Lord does not tolerate weakness. If the boy cannot live at Hogwarts without protection from his elders and betters, what chance does he have in the Dark Lord's service? The service which he MUST join, whether his parents will it or not. A thousand years of Blacks will not end just as our dominion begins."
Lucius was not accustomed to people speaking their minds so openly. The only society he had ever known dealt in pleasantries, inferences and telling looks. This new directness was somewhat unnerving. He knew even as this crossed his mind that Bellatrix had some sort of ulterior motive. Why else would the most fanatical of Death Eaters start talking about history like some schoolgirl, almost lose her temper at a little moderate needling of the family she disdained, then restrain herself from a killing fury which could crack even the renowned Malfoy reserve? He decided that, in lieu of attempting to fathom the depths of Bellatrix's insanity, he should try a little plain speaking himself.
"Indeed, they will not. I trust I have some role to play in this matter, other than producing two children. After all, nobody would send you to order me to do precisely as I intended. As you are being somewhat subtle, I deduce you are not here on the Dark Lord's business." Her eyes flashed. "But wait, everything is his business. On his orders then."
"So quick, Lucius. Full marks. No, I am here with requests from my mother and aunt. And, of course, a little something extra." If he didn't know better he could have sworn she was being coquettish now. Alluring, but rather like a transformed Veela - potential rather outweighed by the fireballs and adamantine claws. Smouldering with something more than her usual anger, she continued. "They say that, on pain of death, Narcissa must be kept out of the Dark Lord's confidences. By all means, let her carry on with her social calender, but no orders, no meetings, and especially no Mark.
"It seems they expect to need her sons as heirs, and keeping her safe is your only priority. Preferably, she should know nothing of your allegiances beyond what is public knowledge. All on pain of death and dishonour and so on, Unbreakable Oath if she's willing, which she won't be." Her lip curling, Bellatrix finished her litany of instructions as if they were some particularly dull History of Magic notes. One word had Lucius twitching in anticipation. They say. Dissention in the ranks? This could be useful. He decided at once to listen very, very closely to whatever came next.
"On the contrary, Lucius. Your lawful brainless beauty should be kept as far from the Dark Lord as possible. I won't say there is no room in his service for someone thicker than a troll, but at least Goyle is strong and loyal. My sister has just about enough room in her pretty little head for society matters and robes and how handsome you are. I won't have you swearing any Unbreakable Oaths, though. No faith is eternal save to the Dark Lord. On the other hand, my family offers no payment to you for years of dissembling." Quick and lithe, she flowed into the heavy wing chair with him. Surprisingly, she was warm and, if not soft, at least not as inhuman as one would expect of the Death Eater known only as 'Nundu' to the Auror Office. Iron-hard self-control and seven years of cold showers were all that let Lucius keep from showing any reaction.
"I think such aid should be rewarded. If ever you get tired of the perfect airhead, remember me. Soon, preferably." Interesting. Bellatrix still hadn't learned that not all men were completely at her mercy. Even as Lucius sneered inwardly, he was tempted. Even Malfoys had their weaknesses and the crackling blaze of passion and energy that surrounded Bellatrix was attractive. He was not, however, tempted enough to get any closer to her than necessary. Some forms of beauty were best admired from a distance, preferably with something handy to conceal him. Besides, he had Narcissa. The tiny risk that this was a test of his control, or fidelity, or something was still too much. So be it. He was no schoolboy unable to wait one more day to gratify himself.
"I shall certainly remember you, should I ever need anyone killed. I doubt Narcissa is a useful assassin. For the rest, I suggest that you stick to your areas of expertise. Murder, mayhem, extracting information, irritating your family and impressing the Dark Lord. Seduction is not connected to any of these. Take my advice and leave it to your inferiors." As Lucius said this, he laughed inwardly at the look of absolute shock that crossed Bellatrix's face. After twenty years, he had still not tired of playing the perfect verbal fencer, ready to cut down all comers so sharply that they felt it an honour to have been insulted by a maestro.
The slight pout that eventually found its way onto Bella's face looked quite out of place. Evidently, she had read about how to look seductive and sulky, possibly even seen it done, but had never actually tried it herself. The usual Black response to being turned down flat in anything was incredulity followed by rage.
"Very well, Lucius. If you're sure you can ... handle things, I'll leave now. A lady needs her beauty sleep."
"Dobby." An ear-splitting crack resounded through the house. "Must you be so loud? The '37 Atlantean brandy, with two glasses." Three cracks sounded, about five seconds apart, and when Lucius next looked round from his contemplation of Romulus Malfoy's splendid portrait, the requested drinks stood neatly on the table.
After several minutes, Rudolphus strolled in, looking as much the dashing high-society ornament as ever. Few people outside the Dark Lord's forces recognised that under the wit and immaculate looks lay a tough fighter and the head of what passed for the Death Eaters' Intelligence organisation.
"Evening, Lucius. What did Miss Black have to say? I say, she didn't look too pleased with something. Nobody left to torture?" Lucius smiled thinly and replied in as cheerful a tone as he was capable,
"Somebody didn't want to 'torture' her. The Blacks don't take rejection well, even as miserable as they are now. Do you think I should watch my back?"
"Why on Earth wouldn't 'somebody' want Bellatrix Black? I can think of a few reasons why you would. More than a few."
"Rudolphus, might I remind you that I am the groom tomorrow. I do not think it my place to set your targets at my own wedding reception. But if you insist, there are photographs with the guest list. Accio guest list." With a bored flick of his wand, Lucius retrieved the several scrolls of names and photographs from a side-table. "The usual rules?"
Lucius agreed fervently with the latter sentiment. He recalled that the incident in question had involved one foreign potentate's daughter, an illegal flying carpet and two Lestrange brothers over the Muggle Houses of Parliament. Even the combined influences of Houses of Lestrange and Malfoy had been hard-pressed to cover up the consequences of that little 'sightseeing trip.' Meanwhile, Rudolphus picked up the scrolls and began to run one immaculate finger down the row of photographs, murmuring to himself as he went,
"Too old, too married, old, hideous... hmm, who might this one be? Oh, plus fiancee. Must be some Indian. Better not to upset our old friend Miss Vedpathak, Lucius."
Looking rather disappointed by this curt reply, Rudolphus turned to a different scroll. "This is more my line of business. Do you know anyone called Stanger, by any chance?" Rudolphus looked considerably more interested in the list now that he had found someone suitable. "Ah. With partner. Now that is simply not fair. How am I supposed to compete with this?" He pointed indignantly at a quite impossibly handsome wizard staring out of the photograph with a distinctly disdainful expression. "Mr. S. Black. What d'you suppose a Black's doing way down here on the list? The others are at the top."
"S. Black?" Lucius demanded in a sharp tone, peering at the small picture. "Sirius. The blood-traitor Gryffindor hero. I hope he manages to avoid Bellatrix. She grew quite murderous when his name came up in conversation. The family most certainly did not invite him. I suppose your delightful Miss Stanger neglected to mention his name."
"Very well, until tomorrow."
"One moment, friend. In light of your admiration for Miss Black, perhaps you might consider courting her yourself. As you said, there are more than a few reasons to do so." Rudolphus looked intrigued by Lucius' stroke of inspiration, but carried on walking. Lucius just smiled in satisfaction. On the whole, he mused, the evening had not gone badly. A few nuggets of useful information had emerged in the small talk, the Black family could have no doubts of his fidelity and Rudolphus would be delighted with the two Snidgets he had found to pursue. As for Bellatrix, he had all the time in the world to come up with something suitable. If he wanted a companion, she would be there. If he wanted her dead, well, one has to be behind someone in order to stab them in the back.
A/N: Here endeth the First Chapter [and probably only chapter] of the Book of Malferret Thanks to Kerichi for the original plot bunny - Lucius/Bella would be fun, but couldn't happen. There's so much I want to say about the lives of the second-generation Death Eaters [the first being the four in HBP who were at school with the Dark Tosser]. Problem is I can't really see a way of turning half a notebook full of character notes, histories and good lines into a readable fic.
Inspiration credit goes to After the Rain on fa.org, for her wonderful Peter-fic. I don't think I actually stole anything, but I had the Death Eaters' Ballad in my head when Bellatrix arrived. Rudolphus is not a Dark version of Byerly Vorrutyer and anyone who says he is reads way too much Lois Bujold. The quotes I mangled for House mottoes are as follows:
Fidelis sine dubio = Latin, from Tertullian, 'faithful without doubt,' here belongs to the Carrow family, as seen in HBP.
Sang pur, sans remords = French, a play on Bayard's famous definition of a true knight as 'sans peur et sans reproche' [without fear or dishonour]. This one means 'pure blood and no mercy,' which I think is about right for the brothers Lestrange.
Sic semper mundanis = Latin 'thus always to the mundane' [/Mudbloods/Muggles], a corruption of the Virginian state motto 'sic semper tyrannis'. As Malfoy as it gets; Lucius considers all three inferior beings.

Found object
|The lead section of this article may need to be rewritten. (September 2012)
Found object originates from the French objet trouvé, describing art created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function.[1] Pablo Picasso first publicly utilized the idea when he pasted a printed image of chair caning onto his painting titled Still Life with Chair Caning (1912). Marcel Duchamp is thought to have perfected the concept several years later when he made a series of ready-mades,[2] consisting of completely unaltered everyday objects selected by Duchamp and designated as art.[3] The most famous example is Fountain (1917), a standard urinal purchased from a hardware store and displayed on a pedestal, resting on its side. In its strictest sense art term "ready-made" is applied exclusively to works produced by Marcel Duchamp, who borrowed the term from the clothing industry while living in New York, and especially to works dating from 1913 to 1921.[4]
Found objects derive their identity as art from the designation placed upon them by the artist and from the social history that comes with the object. This may be indicated by either its anonymous wear and tear (as in collages of Kurt Schwitters) or by its recognizability as a consumer icon (as in the sculptures of Haim Steinbach). The context into which it is placed (e.g. a gallery or museum) is also a highly relevant factor. The idea of dignifying commonplace objects in this way was originally a shocking challenge to the accepted distinction between what was considered art as opposed to not art. Although it may now be accepted in the art world as a viable practice, it continues to arouse questioning, as with the Tate Gallery's Turner Prize exhibition of Tracey Emin's My Bed, which consisted literally of her unmade and disheveled bed. In this sense the artist gives the audience time and a stage to contemplate an object. Appreciation of found art in this way can prompt philosophical reflection in the observer.
However, as an art form, found objects tend to include the artist's output—at the very least an idea about it, i.e. the artist's designation of the object as art—which is nearly always reinforced with a title. There is usually some degree of modification of the found object, although not always to the extent that it cannot be recognized, as is the case with ready-mades. Recent critical theory, however, would argue that the mere designation and relocation of any object, ready-mades included, constitutes a modification of the object because it changes our perception of its utility, its lifespan, or its status.
Origin: Duchamp
Marcel Duchamp coined the term ready-made in 1915 to describe a common object that had been selected and not materially altered in any way. Duchamp assembled Bicycle Wheel in 1913 by attaching a common front wheel and fork to the seat of a common stool. This was not long after his Nude Descending a Staircase was attracting the attention of critics at the International Exhibition of Modern Art. In 1917, Fountain, a urinal signed with the pseudonym "R. Mutt", and generally attributed to Duchamp, confounded the art world. In the same year, Duchamp indicated in a letter to his sister, Suzanne Duchamp, that a female friend was centrally involved in the conception of this work. As he writes: "One of my female friends who had adopted the pseudonym Richard Mutt sent me a porcelain urinal as a sculpture."[5] Irene Gammel argues that the piece is more in line with the scatological aesthetics of Duchamp's friend, the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, than Duchamp's.[6]
Research by Rhonda Roland Shearer indicates that Duchamp may have fabricated his found objects. Exhaustive research of mundane items like snow shovels and bottle racks in use at the time failed to reveal identical matches. The urinal, upon close inspection, is non-functional. However, there are accounts of Walter Arensberg and Joseph Stella being with Duchamp when he purchased the original Fountain at J. L. Mott Iron Works.[7]
The use of found objects was quickly taken up by the Dada movement, being used by Man Ray and Francis Picabia who combined it with traditional art by sticking combs onto a painting to represent hair. [1] A well-known work by Man Ray is Gift (1921), [2] which is an iron with nails sticking out from its flat underside, thus rendering it useless.
The combination of several found objects is a type of ready-made sometimes known as an assemblage. Another such example is Marcel Duchamp's Why Not Sneeze, Rose Sélavy?, consisting of a small birdcage containing a thermometer, cuttlebone, and 151 marble cubes resembling sugar cubes.
By the time of the Surrealist Exhibition of Objects in 1936 a whole range of sub-classifications had been devised—including found objects, ready-made objects, perturbed objects, mathematical objects, natural objects, interpreted natural objects, incorporated natural objects, Oceanic objects, American objects and Surrealist objects. At this time Surrealist leader, André Breton, defined ready-mades as "manufactured objects raised to the dignity of works of art through the choice of the artist".
In the 1960s found objects were present in both the Fluxus movement and in Pop art. Joseph Beuys exhibited modified found objects, such as rocks with a hole in them stuffed with fur and fat, a van with sledges trailing behind it, and a rusty girder.
In 1973 Michael Craig-Martin claimed of his work An Oak Tree, "It's not a symbol. I have changed the physical substance of the glass of water into that of an oak tree. I didn't change its appearance. The actual oak tree is physically present, but in the form of a glass of water."[8]
Commodity sculpture
In the 1980s, a variation of found art emerged called commodity sculpture where commercially mass-produced items would be arranged in the art gallery as sculpture. The focus of this variety of sculpture was on the marketing, display of products. These artists included Jeff Koons, Haim Steinbach, and Ashley Bickerton (who later moved on to do other kinds of work).
One of Jeff Koons' early signature works was Two Ball 50/50 Tank, 1985, which consisted of two basketballs floating in water, which half-fills a glass tank (an influence on Damien Hirst).
Trash art
A specific subgenre of found art is known as trash art or junk art.[9] These works primarily comprise components that have been discarded. Often they come quite literally from the trash. One example of trash art is Trashion, basically using trash to create fashion. Many organizations sponsor junk art competitions. Trash art may also have a social purpose, of raising awareness of trash.[10]
Creating and using trash art can expose people to hazardous substances. For instance, older computer and electronic components can contain lead (in solder and insulation). Jewelry made from these items may require careful handling. In France, trash art became known as "Poubellisme", art made from contents of "poubelles" (trash bins) Spanish artist Francisco de Pajaro(Art is trash or Arte es basura) established in London is doing art with rubbish. See West Bank Gallery, London
Throughout the 1990s, the Young British Artists (YBAs) made extensive use of found "objects", often with very strong press reaction. Damien Hirst exhibited a shark preserved in formaldehyde in a glass tank and called it The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living. He has taken this to extremes by presenting in the same way a cow and calf cut into sections, and, in A Thousand Years, a rotting cow's head, maggots and flies. Tracey Emin exhibited a tent covered with appliquéd names, titled Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995, and then her own unmade bed with sweat-stained sheets, surrounded by items such as her slippers, period-stained underwear and drink bottles, titled My Bed. Sarah Lucas enlarged to a giant size a lurid tabloid press cutting; she also exhibited a mattress with two melons, a bucket and a cucumber, representing female and male genitalia. Michael Chomick exhibited a found object work titled doghouse which was a discarded weather-beaten doghouse that he turned in to a thought-provoking piece addressing the racism in the U.S.A. that has been present from the initial days of the African slaves up to the present and Obama's America.
Found art can also occur on the internet, where an image found on the internet can become the core component of a larger artwork made by modifying the image through basic computer graphic tools.
The found object in art has been a subject of polarised debate in Britain throughout the 1990s due to the use of it by the Young British Artists. It has been rejected by the general public and journalists, and supported by public museums and art critics. In his 2000 Dimbleby lecture, Who's afraid of modern art, Sir Nicholas Serota advocated such kinds of "difficult" art, while quoting opposition such as the Daily Mail headline "For 1,000 years art has been one of our great civilising forces. Today, pickled sheep and soiled beds threaten to make barbarians of us all". A more unexpected rejection in 1999 came from artists—some of whom had previously worked with found objects—who founded the Stuckists group and issued a manifesto denouncing such work in favour of a return to painting with the statement "Ready-made art is a polemic of materialism". [3]

The preferred method for rendering a Document or single Content is by using the pretty printing facility defined in Pretty. Pretty-printing does not work well for cases, however, where the formatting in the XML document is significant. Examples of this case are XHTML's <pre> tag, Docbook's <literallayout> tag, and many more.
Theoretically, the document author could avoid this problem by wrapping the contents of these tags in a <![CDATA[...]]> section, but often this is not practical, for instance when the literal-layout section contains other elements. Finally, program writers could manually format these elements by transforming them into a literal string in their CFliter, etc., but this is annoying to do and prone to omissions and formatting errors.
As an alternative, this module provides the function verbatim, which will format XML Content as a String while retaining the formatting of the input document unchanged.
Know problems:
|class Verbatim a where
|verbAttr :: Attribute -> String
|This is a helper function is required because Haskell does not allow to make an ordinary tuple (like Attribute) an instance of a class. The resulting output will preface the actual attribute with a single blank so that lists of Attributes can be handled implicitly by the definition for lists of Verbatim data types.
