This document outlines the interfaces to GIMP-Python, which is a set of Python modules that act as a wrapper to libgimp allowing the writing of plug-ins for GIMP. In this way, GIMP-Python is similar to Script-Fu, except that you can use the full set of Python extension modules from the plug-in.
GIMP-Python is a scripting extension for GIMP, similar to Script-Fu. The main difference is in what is called first. In Script-Fu, the script-fu plug-in executes the script, while in GIMP-Python the script is in control.
In fact, you will find that the GIMP-Python scripts start with the line !/usr/bin/python . The GIMP extension is loaded with the familiar import command.
Another point of difference between GIMP-Python and Script-Fu is that GIMP-Python stores images, layers, channels and other types as objects rather than just storing their ID. This allows better type checking that is missing from Script-Fu, and allows those types to act as objects, complete with attributes and methods.
Also, GIMP-Python is not limited to just calling procedures from the PDB. It also implements the rest of libgimp , including tiles and pixel regions, and access to other lower level functions.
GIMP-python consists of a Python module written in C and some native python support modules. You can build PyGIMP with the commands:
./configure make make install
This will build and install gimpmodule and its supporting modules, and install the sample plug-ins in GIMP's plug-in directory.
The majority of code in this package resides in gimpmodule.c , but this provides a poor interface for implementing some portions of a plugin. For this reason, there is a python module called plugin.py that sets out a structure for plug-ins and implements some things that were either too difficult or impossible to do in C.
The main purpose of plugin.py was to implement an object oriented structure for plug-ins. As well as this, it handles tracebacks, which are otherwise ignored by libgimp , and gives a method to call other GIMP-Python plug-ins without going through the procedural database.
As in a lot of manuals, the first thing you examine is an example, so here is an example. I have included it before explaining what it does to allow more advanced programmers to see the structure up front. It is a translation of the clothify Script-Fu extension:
#!/usr/bin/env python import math from gimpfu import * def python_clothify(timg, tdrawable, bx=9, by=9, azimuth=135, elevation=45, depth=3): width = tdrawable.width height = tdrawable.height img = gimp.Image(width, height, RGB) img.disable_undo() layer_one = gimp.Layer(img, "X Dots", width, height, RGB_IMAGE, 100, NORMAL_MODE) img.add_layer(layer_one, 0) pdb.gimp_edit_fill(layer_one, BACKGROUND_FILL) pdb.plug_in_noisify(img, layer_one, 0, 0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 0.7) layer_two = layer_one.copy() layer_two.mode = MULTIPLY_MODE layer_two.name = "Y Dots" img.add_layer(layer_two, 0) pdb.plug_in_gauss_rle(img, layer_one, bx, 1, 0) pdb.plug_in_gauss_rle(img, layer_two, by, 0, 1) img.flatten() bump_layer = img.active_layer pdb.plug_in_c_astretch(img, bump_layer) pdb.plug_in_noisify(img, bump_layer, 0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2) pdb.plug_in_bump_map(img, tdrawable, bump_layer, azimuth, elevation, depth, 0, 0, 0, 0, True, False, 0) gimp.delete(img) register( "python_fu_clothify", "Make the specified layer look like it is printed on cloth", "Make the specified layer look like it is printed on cloth", "James Henstridge", "James Henstridge", "1997-1999", "<Image>/Filters/Artistic/_Clothify...", "RGB*, GRAY*", [ (PF_INT, "x_blur", "X blur", 9), (PF_INT, "y_blur", "Y blur", 9), (PF_INT, "azimuth", "Azimuth", 135), (PF_INT, "elevation", "Elevation", 45), (PF_INT, "depth", "Depth", 3) ], [], python_clothify) main()
In this plugin, a number of modules are imported. The important ones are:
gimpfu : this module provides a simple interface for writing plug-ins, similar to what script-fu provides. It provides the GUI for entering in parameters in interactive mode and performs some sanity checks when registering the plugin.
By using "from gimpfu import *", this module also provides an easy way to get all the commonly used symbols into the plug-in's namespace.
gimp : the main part of the gimp extension. This is imported with gimpfu.
gimpenums : a number of useful constants. This is also automatically imported with gimpfu.
The pdb variable is a variable for accessing the procedural database. It is imported into the plug-in's namespace with gimpfu for convenience.
With pygimp-0.4, the gimpfu module was introduced. It simplifies writing plug-ins a lot. It handles the run mode (interactive, non interactive or run with last values), providing a GUI for interactive mode and saving the last used settings.
Using the gimpfu plugin, all you need to do is write the function that should be run, make a call to register, and finally a call to main to get the plugin started.
If the plugin is to be run on an image, the first parameter to the plugin function should be the image, and the second should be the current drawable (do not worry about the run_mode parameter). Plug-ins that do not act on an existing image (and hence go in the toolbox's menus) do not need these parameters. Any other parameters are specific to the plugin.
After defining the plugin function, you need to call register to register the plugin with gimp (When the plugin is run to query it, this information is passed to gimp. When it is run interactively, this information is used to construct the GUI). The parameters to register are:
Most of these parameters are quite self explanatory. The menupath option should start with <Image>;/ for image plug-ins and <Toolbox>/ for toolbox plug-ins. The remainder of the menupath is a slash separated path to its menu item.
The params parameter holds a list parameters for the function. It is a list of tuples. Note that you do not have to specify the run_type, image or drawable parameters, as gimpfu will add these automatically for you. The tuple format is (type, name, description, default [, extra]). The allowed type codes are:
These values map onto the standard PARAM_* constants. The reason to use the extra constants is that they give gimpfu more information, so it can produce a better interface (for instance, the PF_FONT type is equivalent to PARAM_STRING, but in the GUI you get a small button that will bring up a font selection dialog).
The PF_SLIDER, PF_SPINNER and PF_ADJUSTMENT types require the extra parameter. It is of the form (min, max, step), and gives the limits for the spin button or slider.
The results parameter is a list of 3-tuples of the form (type, name, description). It defines the return values for the function. If there is only a single return value, the plugin function should return just that value. If there is more than one, the plugin function should return a tuple of results.
The final parameter to register is the plugin function itself.
After registering one or more plugin functions, you must call the main function. This will cause the plugin to start running. A GUI will be displayed when needed, and your plugin function will be called at the appropriate times.
The procedural database is a registry of things gimp and its plug-ins can do. When you install a procedure for your plugin, you are extending the procedural database.
The procedural database is self documenting, in that when you install a procedure in it, you also add documentation for it, its parameters and return values.
In Gimp-Python, the procedural database is represented by the object gimp.pdb. In most of my plug-ins, I make an assignment from gimp.pdb to pdb for convenience.
You can query the procedural database with pdb's method query. Its specification is:
pdb.query(name, [blurb, [help, [author, [copyright, [date, [type]]]]]])
Each parameter is a regular expression that is checked against the corresponding field in the procedural database. The method returns a list of the names of matching procedures. If query is called without any arguments, it will return every procedure in the database.
Procedures can be accessed as procedures, or by treating pdb as a mapping object. As an example, the procedure gimp_edit_fill can be accessed as either pdb.gimp_edit_fill or pdb['gimp_edit_fill']. The second form is mainly for procedures whose names are not valid Python names (eg in script-fu-…, the dashes are interpreted as minuses).
These procedure objects have a number of attribute:
The name of the procedure.
A short piece of information about the procedure.
More detailed information about the procedure.
The author of the procedure.
The copyright holder for the procedure (usually the same as the author).
The date when the procedure was written.
The type of procedure. This will be one of PROC_PLUG_IN, PROC_EXTENSION or PROC_TEMPORARY.
The number of parameters the procedure takes.
The number of return values the procedure gives.
A description of parameters of the procedure. It takes the form of a tuple of 3-tuples, where each 3-tuple describes a parameter. The items in the 3-tuple are a parameter type (one of the PARAM_* constants), a name for the parameter, and a description of the parameter.
A description of the return values. It takes the same form as the params attribute.
A procedure object may also be called. At this point, Gimp-Python doesn't support keyword arguments for PDB procedures. Arguments are passed to the procedure in the normal method. The return depends on the number of return values:
If there are zero return values, None is returned.
If there is only a single return value, it is returned.
If there are more return values, then they are returned as a tuple.
For more information on invoking PDB procedures, please see the example plug-ins. For information on individual procedures, please see the PDB Browser plugin (in the Xtns menu). It allows you to peruse to the database interactively.
The gimp module contains a number of procedures and functions, as well as the definitions of many gimp types such as images, and the procedural database. This section explains the base level procedures.
There are a number of functions in the gimp module that are used to create the objects used to make up an image in GIMP. Here is a set of descriptions of these constructors:
This procedure creates an image with the given dimensions and type (type is one of RGB , GRAY or INDEXED ).
Create a new layer called name, with the given dimensions and type (one of the *_IMAGE constants), opacity (float between 0 and 100) and a mode (one of the *_MODE constants). The layer can then be added to the image with the img.add_layer method.
Create a new channel object with the given dimensions, opacity and colour (one of the *_CHANNEL constants). This channel can then be added to an image.
Create a new display window for the given image. The window will not be displayed until a call to gimp.displays_flush is made.
Create a new parasite. The parasite can then be attached to gimp, an image or a drawable. This is only available in gimp >= 1.1
When any of these objects get removed from memory (such as when their name goes out of range), the gimp thing it represents does not get deleted with it (otherwise when your plugin finished running, it would delete all its work). In order to delete the thing the Python object represents, you should use the gimp.delete procedure. It deletes the gimp thing associated with the Python object given as a parameter. If the object is not an image, layer, channel, drawable or display gimp.delete does nothing.
There are a number of functions that can be used to gather information about the environment the plugin is running in:
Returns the current colour cube.
Returns the current gamma correction.
Returns non-zero if a colour map has been installed.
Returns non-zero if GIMP is using X shared memory.
Returns the file name of the GTK configuration file.
These functions alter the currently selected foreground and background.
Returns a 3-tuple containing the current background colour in RGB form.
Returns a 3-tuple containing the current foreground colour in RGB form.
Sets the current background colour. The three arguments can be replaced by a single 3-tuple like that returned by gimp.get_background.
Sets the current foreground colour. Like gimp.set_background, the arguments may be replaced by a 3-tuple.
These functions perform operations on gradients:
Returns the name of the active gradient.
Sets the active gradient.
Returns a list of the names of the available gradients.
Returns a list of num samples, where samples consist of 4-tuples of floats representing the red, green, blue and alpha values for the sample.
Similar to gimp.gradients_sample_uniform, except the samples are taken at the positions given in the list of floats pos instead of uniformly through the gradient.
These functions either install procedures into the PDB or alert gimp to their special use (eg as file handlers).
For simple plug-ins, you will usually only need to use register from gimpfu.
This procedure is used to install a procedure into the PDB. The first eight parameters are strings, type is a one of the PROC_* constants, and the last two parameters are sequences describing the parameters and return values. Their format is the same as the param and ret_vals methods or PDB procedures.
This procedure is used to install a procedure into the PDB temporarily. That is, it must be added again every time gimp is run. This procedure will be called the same way as all other procedures for a plugin.
This removes a temporary procedure from the PDB.
This procedure tells GIMP that the PDB procedure name can load files with extensions and prefixes (eg http:) with magic information magics.
This procedure tells GIMP that the PDB procedure name can load files with extensions and prefixes (eg http:).
This procedure tells GIMP that the PDB procedure name can save files with extensions and prefixes (eg http:).
These are the other functions in the gimp module.
This function is the one that controls the execution of a Gimp- Python plugin. It is better to not use this directly but rather subclass the plugin class, defined in the gimpplugin Module.
The procedural database object.
(Re)Initialise the progress meter with label (or the plugin name) as a label in the window.
Set the progress meter to percent done.
Returns a list of all the image objects.
Stops execution immediately and exits.
Update all the display windows.
The maximum width of a tile.
The maximum height of a tile.
Set the size of the tile cache in kilobytes.
Set the size of the tile cache in tiles.
Get the information associated with key. The data will be a string. This function should probably be used through the gimpshelf Module.
Set the information in the string data with key. The data will persist for the whole gimp session. Rather than directly accessing this function, it is better to go through the gimpshelf Module.
Tells gimp that the plugin has finished its work, while keeping the plugin connection open. This is used by an extension plugin to tell gimp it can continue, while leaving the plugin connection open. This is what the script-fu plugin does so that only one scheme interpreter is needed.
Makes the plugin check for messages from gimp. generally this is not needed, as messages are checked during most calls in the gimp module.
In gimp >= 1.1, it is possible to attach arbitrary data to an image through the use of parasites. Parasites are simply wrappers for the data, containing its name and some flags. Parasites have the following parameters:
The data for the parasite — a string
The flags for the parasite
True if this parasite is persistent
True if this parasite is undoable
The name of the parasite
Parasites also have the methods copy, is_type and has_flag.
There is a set of four functions that are used to manipulate parasites. They exist as functions in the gimp module, and methods for image and drawable objects. They are:
find a parasite by its name.
Attach a parasite to this object.
Create a new parasite and attach it.
Detach the named parasite
Gimp-Python implements a number of special object types that represent the different types of parameters you can pass to a PDB procedure. Rather than just making these place holders, I have added a number of members and methods to them that allow a lot of configurability without directly calling PDB procedures.
There are also a couple of extra objects that allow low level manipulation of images. These are tile objects (working) and pixel regions (not quite finished).
This is the object that represents an open image. In this section, image represents a generic image object.
This is the active channel of the image. You can also assign to this member, or None if there is no active channel.
This is the active layer of the image. You can also assign to this member, or None if there is no active layer.
This is the type of the image (eg RGB, INDEXED).
This is a list of the channels of the image. Altering this list has no effect, and you can not assign to this member.
This is the colour map for the image.
This is the filename for the image. A file load or save handler might assign to this.
This is the height of the image. You can't assign to this member.
The floating selection layer, or None if there is no floating selection.
This is a list of the layers of the image.
The selection mask for the image.
This is the width of the image. You can't assign to this member.
Adds channel to image in position position.
Adds layer to image in position position.
Adds the mask mask to layer.
Unsets the dirty flag on the image.
Disables undo for image.
Enables undo for image. You might use these commands round a plugin, so that the plug-in's actions can be undone in a single step.
Returns the resulting layer after merging all the visible layers, discarding non visible ones and stripping the alpha channel.
Returns true if component (one of the *_CHANNEL constants) is active.
Returns true if component is visible.
Sets the activeness of component.
Sets the visibility of component.
Lowers channel.
Lowers layer.
Merges the visible layers of image using the given merge type.
Returns the layer that is visible at the point (x,y), or None if no layer matches.
Raises channel.
Raises layer.
Removes channel from image.
Removes layer from image.
Removes the mask from layer, with the given mode (either APPLY or DISCARD).
Resizes the image to size (width, height) and places the old contents at position (x,y).
These objects represent a GIMP Image's colour channels. In this section, channel will refer to a generic channel object.
The colour of the channel.
The height of the channel.
The width of the channel.
The image the channel belongs to, or None if it isn't attached yet.
The channel's layer (??) or None if one doesn't exist.
Non zero if the channel is a layer mask.
The name of the channel.
The opacity of the channel.
The show_masked value of the channel.
Non-zero if the channel is visible.
returns a copy of the channel.
Layer objects represent the layers of a GIMP image. In this section I will refer to a generic layer called layer.
The apply mask setting. (non zero if the layer mask is being composited with the layer's alpha channel).
The number of bytes per pixel.
The edit mask setting. (non zero if the mask is active, rather than the layer).
The height of the layer.
The image the layer is part of, or None if the layer isn't attached.
Non zero if this layer is the image's floating selection.
The layer's mask, or None if it doesn't have one.
The mode of the layer.
The name of the layer.
The opacity of the layer.
The layer's preserve transparency setting.
Adds an alpha component to the layer.
Creates a copy of the layer, optionally with an alpha layer.
Creates a layer mask of type type.
Resizes the layer to (w, h), positioning the original contents at (x,y).
Scales the layer to (w, h), using the specified origin (local or image).
Sets the offset of the layer, relative to the image's origin
Moves the layer to (x, y) relative to its current position.
Both layers and channels are drawables. Hence there are a number of operations that can be performed on both objects. They also have some common attributes and methods. In the description of these attributes, I will refer to a generic drawable called drawable.
The number of bytes per pixel.
Non zero if the drawable is colour.
Non zero if the drawable is greyscale.
Non zero if the drawable has an alpha channel.
The height of the drawable.
The image the drawable belongs to.
Non zero if the drawable uses an indexed colour scheme.
The bounds of the drawable's selection.
The name of the drawable.
The offset of the top left hand corner of the drawable.
The type of the drawable.
Non zero if the drawable is visible.
The width of the drawable.
Fills the drawable with given fill_type (one of the *_FILL constants).
Flush the changes to the drawable.
Creates a pixel region for the drawable. It will cover the region with origin (x,y) and dimensions w x h. The dirty argument sets whether any changes to the pixel region will be reflected in the drawable (default is TRUE). The shadow argument sets whether the pixel region acts on the shadow tiles or not (default is FALSE). If you draw on the shadow tiles, you must call drawable.merge_shadow() for changes to take effect.
Get a tile at (row, col). Either on or off the shadow buffer.
Get the tile that contains the pixel (x, y).
Merge the shadow buffer back into the drawable.
Update the given portion of the drawable.
Tile objects represent the way GIMP stores information. A tile is basically just a 64x64 pixel region of the drawable. The reason GIMP breaks the image into small pieces like this is so that the whole image doesn't have to be loaded into memory in order to alter one part of it. This becomes important with larger images.
In Gimp-Python, you would use Tiles if you wanted to perform some low level operation on the image, instead of using procedures in the PDB. This type of object gives a Gimp-Python plugin the power of a C plugin, rather than just the power of a Script-Fu script. Tile objects are created with either the drawable.get_tile() or drawable.get_tile2() functions. In this section, I will refer to a generic tile object named tile.
All tile members are read only.
The number of bytes per pixel.
If there have been changes to the tile since it was last flushed.
The drawable that the tile is from.
The actual height of the tile.
The actual width of the tile.
The reference count of the tile. (this is independent of the Python object reference count).
Non zero if the tile is part of the shadow buffer.
Flush any changes in the tile. Note that the tile is automatically flushed when the Python object is deleted from memory.
Tile objects also act as a mapping, or sequence. You can access the pixels in the tile in one of two ways. You can either access them with a single number, which refers to its position in the tile (eg. tile [64] refers to the first pixel in the second row of a 64x64 pixel tile). The other way is with a tuple, representing the coordinates on the tile (eg. tile [0, 1] refers to the first pixel on the second row of the tile).
The type of these subscripts is a string of length tile.bpp. When you assign to a subscript, the dirty flag is automatically set on the tile, so you don't have to explicitly set the flag, or flush the tile.
Pixel region objects give an interface for low level operations to act on large regions of an image, instead of on small 64x64 pixel tiles. In this section I will refer to a generic pixel region called pr. For an example of a pixel region's use, please see the example plugin whirlpinch.py .
The drawable this pixel region is for.
The number of bytes per pixel for the drawable.
The rowstride for the pixel region.
The x coordinate of the top left hand corner.
The y coordinate of the top left hand corner.
The width of the pixel region.
The height of the pixel region.
Non zero if changes to the pixel region will be reflected in the drawable.
Non zero if the pixel region acts on the shadow tiles of the drawable.
resize the pixel region so that it operates on the the region with corner (x, y) with dimensions w x h.
The pixel region acts as a mapping. The index is a 2-tuple with components that are either integers or slices. The subscripts may be read and assigned to. The type of the subscripts is a string containing the binary data of the requested region. Here is a description of the possible operations:
Get/Set the pixel at (x,y)
Get/Set the row starting at (x1, y), width x2 - x1.
Get/Set the column starting at (x, y1), height y2 - y1.
Get/Set the rectangle starting at (x1, y1), width x2 - x1 and height y2 - y1.
This section describes the modules that help make using the gimp module easier. These range from a set of constants to storing persistent data.
This module contains all the constants found in the header libgimp/gimpenums.h , as well as some extra constants that are available in Script-Fu.
This module was fully described in an earlier section. It provides an easy interface for writing plug-ins, where you do not need to worry about run_modes, GUI's and saving previous values. It is the recommended module for writing plug-ins.
This module provides the framework for writing GIMP plug-ins in Python. It gives more flexibility for writing plug-ins than the gimpfu module, but does not offer as many features (such as automatic GUI building).
To use this framework you subclass gimpplugin.plugin like so:
import gimpplugin class myplugin(gimpplugin.plugin): def init(self): # initialisation routines # called when gimp starts. def quit(self): # clean up routines # called when gimp exits (normally). def query(self): # called to find what functionality the plugin provides. gimp.install_procedure("procname", ...) # note that this method name matches the first arg of # gimp.install_procedure def procname(self, arg1, ...): # do what ever this plugin should do
This module gives a nicer interface to the persistent storage interface for GIMP plug-ins. Due to the complicated nature of Python objects (there is often a lot of connections between them), it can be difficult to work out what to store in GIMP's persistent storage. The python interface only allows storage of strings, so this module wraps pickle and unpickle to allow persistent storage of any python object.
Here is some examples of using this module:
>>> from gimpshelf import shelf >>> shelf['james'] = ['forty-two', (42, 42L, 42.0)] >>> shelf.has_key('james') 1 >>> shelf['james'] ['forty-two', (42, 42L, 42.0)]
Anything you store with gimpshelf.shelf will exist until GIMP exits. This makes this interface perfect for when a plugin is executed with the run mode RUN_WITH_LAST_VALS .
As all other plug-ins, the ones written with GIMP Python are registered in the procedural database (See Procedural Database). As such, they can be easily interfaced using Script-Fu; let's consider this GIMP Python plug-in:
#! /usr/bin/env python from gimpfu import * def echo(*args): """Print the arguments on standard output""" print "echo:", args register( "console_echo", "", "", "", "", "", "<Toolbox>/Xtns/Languages/Python-Fu/Test/_Console Echo", "", [ (PF_STRING, "arg0", "argument 0", "test string"), (PF_INT, "arg1", "argument 1", 100 ), (PF_FLOAT, "arg2", "argument 2", 1.2 ), (PF_COLOR, "arg3", "argument 3", (0, 0, 0) ), ], [], echo ) main()
Using Script-Fu, one could easily invoke the correct Scheme function call: (python-fu-console-echo RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "another string" 777 3.1416 '(1 0 0)) . There are a couple of details worth mentioning:
The registered procedure name (first parameter of the register() function) is mangled: all underscores are converted to hyphens, to better match the usual Scheme syntatic style (here, console_echo becomes console-echo ). Moreover, a python-fu- prefix is automatically added; it is better not to explicitly add it ourselves, as it will makes the often useful (plug-in-script-fu- eval …) evaluation fail.
The mandatory first parameter to any pdb call (Script-Fu constant RUN-INTERACTIVE , or RUN-NONINTERACTIVE ) discriminates between user-driven or scripted calls. In the case of gimpfu-based plug-ins, it is automatically taken care of internally — interactive calls will dismiss all the remaining arguments, and an interface will be presented (when possible) to the user. The plug-in core Python function ( echo() in this case), never has to deal with it.
Script-Fu is able to process strings, integer and floats literals, and pass them as corresponding first-class objects to Python. It can also pass compound arguments such as colors as tuples in Python by expressing them as Scheme lists (in the (python-fu-console-echo …) call above, fourth argument to the pythonic echo() function will be a 3-tuple of integers representing a pure red color).
All other special purposes gimpfu parameter types (PF_FILE , etc.) can be constructed using those simple literals and list constructs, and received as appropriate objects in Python. If you need booleans, pass them as integers.
All this means that you could easily invoke a GIMP Python plug-in such as the one above directly from your shell using the (plug-in-script- fu-eval …) evaluator:
gimp --no-interface --batch '(python-fu-console-echo RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "another string" 777 3.1416 (list 1 0 0))' '(gimp-quit 1)'
The invocation here was done without an interface since this specific procedure didn't need any.
See the GIMP Script-Fu Documentation to learn more about it.
This package is not yet complete, but it has enough in it to be useful for writing plug-ins for GIMP. If you write any plug-ins that might be useful as examples, please mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Judaism has plenty to say about how we relate to one another: Honor your parents, love your neighbor, and don't hate your brother. Presumably "brother" includes sisters -- both yours and everyone else's, as in: "Hey bro, I really don't hate you, man." Similarly, I'm guessing "neighbor" to include all who surround you. The only exception is the people whose phone voices take you through a labyrinth of menu choices before connecting you with a live person. In that case, I'm fairly certain it's okay to withhold the love.
Presumably "brothers" include all mankind as in "Hey bro."
This leaves us in a vulnerable predicament since Judaism does not forbid parents, brothers and neighbors from inflicting insanity upon us. I'm not certain whether this was a glaring omission or a cosmic joke. Especially since most people have at least one Beloved Difficult Person ("BDP") in their lives. To love them means a trek through the Valley of Mishegoss where crazy-making can surprise at any moment. It's not that you're unfamiliar with their shtick. In fact, you've listened so many times, you could lip sync an entire soliloquy verbatim. The problem is wandering through that rocky wilderness without the proper protective equipment.
To be fair, BDPs are not sociopaths. They're often well-meaning, lovely people who happen to confuse us with vomitoriums on whom they can verbally heave the bile of the day. But don't they feel so much better afterward?
You may ask: What's a Jew to do?
I, too, have traveled the Meshuggeh Road. Just when I desperately needed to make a U-turn out of that dead-end street, like a miracle, I discovered The Secret. No, not that Secret. This is the missing ingredient to conversing with those who drive you bonkers while simultaneously keeping your sanity intact. I used my own BDP as a beta tester. So far, so good.
It's so simple, you'll wonder why you didn't think of it first. The basic premise is that when BDPs pull their shtick, you don't take it seriously. Pretend they're comedians and you're watching a sitcom. Sometimes you're the audience; other times you're a secondary character. Go ahead and have a good laugh. Just remember that although you're in on the joke, you never, ever laugh out loud. Your BDP thinks it's real life, like a reality show. Only you know it's a comedy, or perhaps a dramedy. When the show is over, you can go back to your regularly scheduled life. That is, until the next episode.
When BDPs pull their shtick pretend you're watching a sitcom.
The Secret works most effectively when reinforced by Sanity Savers, such as playing online Mahjong during an entire phone conversation. This works in a similar way as the Lamaze Method works for childbirth. No, we're not talking apples and oranges. It's all pain, just a different kind, and distraction is distraction whether heavy breathing or clicking tiles. An added bonus is that you'll get really good at online games, if that matters to you.
Additional Sanity Savers come in packages designed for your particular lifestyle, such as the Executive Multitasker series for those with a penchant for effective time management. A sample gem from this bundle includes treadmilling or other exercise equipment of choice. While you get in shape, the machine drowns out the voice on the other end of the phone. You'll still hear well enough to insert the obligatory "uh-huh" at appropriate beats, but the impact is lessened as the noise cushions the blow.
If the above doesn't work, you'll need to ramp it up a notch. This next one should be used under extreme duress only and with moderation so as not to blow the charade. If you own both a landline and a cell phone, simply call yourself from the other phone once you've had enough. You'll hear the blessed beep that is Call Waiting. At the prompt say, "Hold on, Beloved Difficult Person," and switch over. Be sure to engage yourself in conversation for several seconds, for authenticity. Then switch back and tell your BDP you must take the call. You won't be lying. Assuredly, you must. When you've had about all you can take, talking to oneself is one of the those embarrassing, private activities that we all indulge in from time to time, even if we don't like to admit it.
You may say, "I'm sick and tired of this show. Why don't I just not pick up the phone?" That's one option. Better yet, a sudden move with no forwarding address works wonders in a pinch. You could even fake your own death.
You know why you don't. Despite everything, you love your BDP with a caring that runs deeper than your BDP's crazy factor. You don't want to end the relationship; you want to endure it.
So next time the phone rings and the caller ID flashes, "BDP," take a deep breath and tell yourself that even though the show's ratings aren't so great, it still has its moments that make it worth watching. You're glad it's still on the air. The truth is, even a good series doesn't live forever. Once the season ends and the show isn't picked up again, life will be much emptier. Realizing how much you love this character, you listen. You don't mind the bad lines, bad acting, and bad scenes. Not so much anymore. You're glad your character has an ongoing role. Just grateful the show is still on the air.

Infuriated with Bank of America's customer service, Dalton Chiscolm decided to do what every other red-blooded American in his situation would do: He sued them.
How much did he sue them for?
Try $1,784 billion trillion, according to Reuters. That's the number 1,784 followed by 18 zeros. It's also more money than the world's 2008 gross domestic product, which was comprised of a measly $60 trillion (that's six followed by 13 zeroes). To top it off, he also wants an additional $200,164,000 for "miscellaneous fees."
Chiscolm decided he was entitled to the money after he received inconsistent information regarding his bank accounts from "a Spanish woman" during numerous calls to Bank of America's headquarters in New York City.
District Judge Denny Chin gave his two cents in a written order released Sept. 24.
"The claim is incomprehensible," he wrote.
Chin previously had the honor of sentencing Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff to 150 years in prison.
Chin gave Chiscolm until Oct. 23 to explain why his case shouldn't be dismissed.

Do they ever know who writes them? How seriously do departments take teaching evaluations? If a professor knows which student wrote a particular evaluation....would they be biased (e.g. be nicer, etc...)?
Please include in your answer what country you are in and a short description of what type of school you are at, and what you do there. Answers presumably vary between research universities and four-year colleges, for example. Also, professors and students could reasonably have different access to information about how teaching evaluations are used.

Black Caviar - the road to glory
Black Caviar's connections have decided to end the champion mare's career after an unprecedented 25 victories undefeated.
From a humble two-year-old handicap at Flemington to the glamour of Royal Ascot, Black Caviar thrilled racing fans around the world with her brilliant speed and effortless efficiency.
Look back at each of the performances of her remarkable career.
April 18, 2009
Cromwell Handicap (1,000m)
A star is born.
While much of racing's attention is on Sydney for their autumn carnival, who knew the second race at Flemington would contain one of the greatest gallopers to grace the turf.
Jarrad Noske guides the two-year-old debutant - by Bel Esprit out of Helsinge - to an easy five-length victory.
Her starting price is a juicy $3 - she would start at odds-on for the remainder of her career.
May 2, 2009
Blue Sapphire Stakes (1,200m) - Listed
Peter Moody takes Black Caviar back to her home track where she emulates her maiden victory with a six-length triumph.
After an awkward start, the filly displays too much raw speed to gap her rivals in imperious fashion.
The victory - her first at black type - gives a hint of what racing fans around the world will come to expect from the great mare.
August 22, 2009
William Crockett Stakes (1,200m) - Listed
The legend of Black Caviar is growing as she returns to the track in her three-year-old season and wins at the tricky Moonee Valley circuit.
She is ridden for the first time in a race by Peter Moody's stable jockey Luke Nolen, and the pair will go on to create one of racing's great partnerships.
While Black Caviar has taken care of the fillies, a date against the boys at Flemington looms next month before a possible run against older horses towards the end of the Melbourne Cup carnival.
September 5, 2009
Danehill Stakes (1,200m) - Group 2
Black Caviar wins her fourth start but not before putting a scare into her supporters after a poor getaway from the barriers.
Sent out a dominant odds-on favourite, Black Caviar holds on bravely to defeat stable-mate Wanted, who himself would go on to be a Group One winner.
The victory came at a cost, however: after the race vets find Black Caviar tore a chest muscle when jumping from the gates.
The injury forces her to miss the rest of the spring.
January 22, 2010
Australia Stakes 1,200m - Group 2
The star three-year-old filly has her first shot at older horses and proves a class above despite being sent out an easing $1.70 favourite.
After her barrier mishap last spring, Black Caviar wears a barrier blanket for the first time and jumps well from the gates.
Such is the lofty opinion held by Peter Moody, he considers entering her in the rich sprints on Dubai World Cup night.
October 9, 2010
Schillaci Stakes 1,000m - Group 2
Back from another injury-forced spell, Black Caviar thrills the Caulfield crowd with what would become a trademark demolition of her rivals.
The pressure was served up in the early stages before she effortlessly eased clear to eventually score by 1-1/4 lengths.
A light campaign lies ahead for the now four-year-old mare, which will culminate in a possible first Group One triumph.
October 23, 2010
Moir Stakes 1,200m - Group 2
Black Caviar demolishes a top field to leave no doubt she is the undisputed sprinting queen of Australian racing.
Peter Moody says he is running out of superlatives to describe the mare who is undefeated after seven starts throughout an injury-plagued career.
Her first crack at a Group One now awaits at Flemington and a much-awaited encounter with Australia's other boom sprinter, Hay List.
November 6, 2010
Patinack Farm Classic 1,200m - Group 1
It is the first Group One victory of many for the great mare as she strolls to victory on the last day of Flemington's Cup carnival.
It is also a maiden Group One triumph for jockey Ben Melham, who was filling in for Black Caviar's regular rider Luke Nolen.
She jumped well and always travelled like a winner and the result was secure when the challenge of Hay List failed to materialise.
February 10, 2011
Lightning Stakes 1,000m - Group 1
Black Caviar takes her prize money to almost $1.7 million as she makes a one-act affair of the $750,000 sprint.
First up from her win at Flemington's Cup carnival, Black Caviar leaves Peter Moody speechless as she scores by 3-1/4 lengths.
Racing Victoria chief handicapper Greg Carpenter says the unbeaten mare has the potential to be the highest-ever rated sprinter in the world.
March 12, 2011
Newmarket Handicap 1,200m - Group 1
Black Caviar, under the impost of 58kg, sets a modern-day weight-carrying record for a mare in the time-honoured sprint, surpassing the 56.5kg carried by Maybe Mahal in 1978.
She leaves Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily in her wake and becomes the first Australian horse to win their first 10 career starts at metropolitan tracks.
The invincible record earns Black Caviar comparisons to our greatest sprinters, including Vain and Manikato.
March 25, 2011
William Reid Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
The Black Caviar express continues to roll on, unstoppable, this time carrying an avalanche of public money and drawing the biggest crowd to a Melbourne night meeting in years.
Her legion of fans cheered her onto the track but had their hearts in their mouths when the mare was posted three wide and had to be urged to attack the leaders before the turn.
In one of the few times she has been asked for a supreme effort, Black Caviar responded and quickly had the race in hand.
April 9, 2011
TJ Smith Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
Black Caviar honours her contract to the Sydney racing public with a devastating display and shows just why she holds the world's number one ranking.
In front of a huge crowd at Randwick, the mare did not jump as cleanly as Luke Nolen would have liked and Hay List set a cracking pace up front.
But when Nolen asked for an effort, Black Caviar picked up and went right past him - with daylight back to third.
May 14, 2011
BTC Cup 1,200m - Group 1
Not even the superstitious would have thought a shot at 13 straight wins would prove unlucky for Black Caviar.
Like she did a month ago, Black Caviar gave Hay List a start around the turn before racing past him to score by two lengths.
The glamour mare received a rousing reception as she returned to scale after giving Peter Moody another Group One in his home state.
October 8, 2011
Schillaci Stakes 1,000m - Group 2
The wonder mare returns from a spell to equal Phar Lap's 14-run unbeaten streak with a painless victory at her home track.
Peter Moody breathed a sigh of relief to see his people's champion come back and win the way champions do, declaring Black Caviar's best is still to come.
Her connections say they are eager to stretch Black Caviar out to 1,600 metres this season, with ultimately a trip to Royal Ascot on the agenda.
October 22, 2011
Moir Stakes 1,200m - Group 2
The result was never in doubt as Black Caviar lined up against only three rivals, joining 1940s champion Bernborough with 15 straight victories.
From the moment they left the barriers, the Moonee Valley crowd roared in appreciation for the mare until well after she crossed the line, six lengths in front.
Luke Nolen says the "awesome" win would improve Black Caviar, which is bad news for her opposition next start at Flemington.
November 5, 2011
Patinack Farm Classic 1,200m - Group 1
Black Caviar easily records back-to-back wins in the feature sprint during Flemington's Melbourne Cup carnival.
The massive crowd that came almost exclusively to see her made barely a sound as she eased her way past the opposition.
An eerie, reverent silence came over them, and as she returned to the paddock they simply stared until Nolen, keen to do something, led the applause from the saddle.
January 27, 2012
Australia Stakes 1,200m - Group 2
Black Caviar extends her perfect record at Moonee Valley to six from six with a minimum of fuss in a time just outside the track record.
Luke Nolen said the mare could have broken the record if he really put her to the sword but there was no need to overtax her.
Officials said they had been expecting about 8,000 people to attend the Friday night meeting but nearly double that number turned up at the gates.
February 11, 2012
CF Orr Stakes 1,400m - Group 1
The step up to 1,400 metres for the first time holds no problems for the great mare, who was simply "Orr-some" in smashing rivals that included Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed.
Peter Moody stood in the mounting yard glowing with pride at the manner in which the people's horse added another dimension to her record.
The gates were thrown open at Caulfield and more than 20,000 watched Black Caviar claim her eighth Group One success.
February 18, 2012
Lightning Stakes 1,000m - Group 1
Peter Moody takes the option of backing up within seven days and using the Lightning as a glorified track gallop.
But the great mare is pushed once again by her great rival Hay List, who finishes runner-up to her for a fourth time.
Black Caviar scorches over the straight 1,000 metres in 55.53 seconds, running a blistering sub-10-second 200m sectional in the process.
April 28, 2012
Robert Sangster Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
For weeks Adelaide had been abuzz with anticipation of the Black Caviar's first appearance in SA, where she made it 20 wins from as many starts.
She was not asked to get out of second gear to win the Group One sprint restricted to fillies and mares.
Her 20th victory surpassed the Australian record for consecutive metropolitan wins set by Desert Gold and Gloaming early last century.
It also breaks the modern-day mark set by US wonder mare Zenyatta in 2010.
May 12, 2012
The Goodwood 1,200m - Group 1
The world now awaits Black Caviar after the invincible mare farewelled Australian racing for the season with another effortless win.
Her travelling roadshow returned to Adelaide for the second time in as many weeks and she failed to disappoint another 30,000 sell-out crowd.
The Goodwood run will bring her on as trainer Peter Moody plans to have the mare in peak fitness before she heads to England.
Royal Ascot, here she comes!
June 23, 2012
Diamond Jubilee Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
An out-of-sorts Black Caviar shows her champion qualities on the world stage to land a narrow victory at Royal Ascot.
A self-confessed "brain fade" by Luke Nolen to stop riding in the final strides also causes heart palpitations for her legion of fans back home, who sat up past midnight to watch the race.
Afterwards Queen Elizabeth II herself was there to pat the queen of the track in the winner's enclosure.
February 16, 2013
Black Caviar Lightning 1,000m - Group 1
A day many racing fans feared would never come - Black Caviar returns from a long lay-off to show she's still the best in the world.
Contesting a race renamed in her honour, Black Caviar wins her third Lightning and breaks the long-standing 1,000m track record at Flemington.
At a time when Australia is struggling to cope with the fallout from football doping allegations, Black Caviar puts sport back on the front page for all the right reasons.
March 22, 2013
William Reid Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
Moonee Valley is packed to capacity to witness what had been billed as the great mare's final race in Melbourne.
Or is it? Peter Moody says she has never been in better shape, prompting her owners to dream of perhaps another trip to Ascot or even racing on next season.
The triumph sees Black Caviar equal Kingston Town's Australian record of 14 Group One wins.
April 13, 2013
TJ Smith Stakes 1,200m - Group 1
Black Caviar wows Sydney for only the second time in her career with a dominant three-length victory in the $1 million sprint.
A sell-out crowd of around 24,000 people watches the great mare put her knockers in their places and collect the 25th win of her unparalleled career.
In doing so, Black Caviar took her Group One tally to 15 and surpassed the record held by the great Kingston Town.

Brandon Boudet, chef and co-owner of Los Angeles culinary hot spots Dominick's, Little Dom's, 101 Coffee Shop and Tom Bergin's Tavern, was just one of Esquire Network's new show "Knife Fight." Los Angeles News Group chatted with the busy chef about the show — and food, of course.
Q: How did you prepare for "Knife Fight"?
A: Well, you can't really prepare for these things. You kind of have an idea in your head, but there's a big chance you have to change everything. They allowed us to bring some of our own things and in the rush of everything that day, I forgot it in the car. It was a type of squash and I was like, "(expletive)! There goes that idea." But obviously, I was able to work it out … We're just cooking food, not saving lives. If you get that stressed out over it or that flustered, you're in the wrong business.
Q: With two cooking competition wins under your belt, do you have any tips for future Knife Fighters?
A: I was so unfamiliar with the kitchen and had no clue where anything was. If I just took 10 minutes to look around and find some things I would have been able to be more creative. So for anyone who's thinking about stepping up to this, I'd study the kitchen first. … Also, I think a lot of mistakes happen when people forget to take the time to taste the food and forget to keep it simple.
Q: Are you a fan of watching all the cooking competitions that are on TV these days?
A: It gives me anxiety to watch that stuff, especially now that I know how it works. It ruins it for me. Some of those shows just give me so much anxiety.
Q: Was it weird watching yourself on TV?
A: Kind of. It's so crazy how much gets cut out of it. I had actually forgotten what I had done, but finally watching it, some of it came back and it was like, "Oh, I remember that." … You get in that mode and it's kind of a blur.
Q: Let's leave the TV world and talk about how you are in the real world at home. What is your go-to dish in your kitchen?
A: The one pot dish. If I'm making stuff for myself, or me and my girlfriend at home, it's very simple, straightforward and mostly vegetarian. But we do entertain a lot and have friends over so that's when I play around a bit. Right now, I'm playing around with this contraption that goes on a Weber kettle grill to get it close to being like a wood-burning oven. But I made the mistake of inviting like 80 people over when I first got it and getting their hopes up. They all were expecting pizza; it was a pretty funny night. But yeah, I'm tinkering with that right now.
Q: What are you most favorite ingredients to work with?
A: Lemon and whatever's in season. … As for spices, I go in and out of a lot of things like different types of peppers. But really, if I said had a favorite ingredient I'd be lying because it constantly changes. Though, don't underestimate the lemon. People don't use it enough.

WOOT Finally Got My first on a fly
2012/4/19 5:49
From Lehigh Vally
Posts: 0
After amassing my gear and wrangling around kids and wife, I finally got out with the new Fly Rod (first time ever with a fly rod)
Was about an hour this am in the Monocacy Creek. I was using a pheasant tail flashback. All I got was one, but hey, it was my first one on a fly and my first one this year.
Unfortunatly I didn't have a camera, and I couldn't get my phone out in time. I don't have a net, and it removed itself from my hook right at my feet. I don't know about anybody else here, but if I hook into a fish and it is at least to my feet where I am ready to bend down to pick it up, and it unhooks itself, I count it as caught. I always catch and release anyway, so that saves the handling and potential damage to the fish.
Oh it was a trout (not sure what variety) around the 12" range. Probably a stock.

Yes it does
I tried again this evening, and got nothing fish wise.
But I did however, run into two other fly fishers out on the creek.
They told me that the stretch I was fishing was the most difficult area to fish due to the amout of wild brownies and the stillness of the water in that area. (i would say native, but even as a newbie, I saw the debates about that and didn't want to fuel the frenzie)
One gentleman was telling me about and how to use strike indicators with the nymphs and gave me one of the flies that was working well for him and a couple foam strike indicators.
The second gentleman was telling me about what was working for him and gave me a few prince flies and one he called a parachute fly.
The lack of caught fish was more than made up for in information education and new flies

Awesome, catching that first fish usually starts it all. The first year I fly fished I think I caught five and I fished a lot, so they were sweet little nuggets to keep me interested, not that I needed any more passion for it. I was addicted to it and have been ever since!
The strike indicators help you see the strike but pay attention to how drag works with them. You will get less drag with them but my buddy learned a lot about how when he would cast across a stream to fish the far bank and he saw how the middle of the stream was moving much faster than the sides and so on. He learned to make adustments to how to make a cast into a hole or to make a drift by using strike indicators.
Good luck and may you get more tug love.

I have spent a little time with Ubuntu 10.10 over the past few days. I never bother "reviewing" Ubuntu any more, mostly because it's veered far wide of what I want from a distro.
Nonetheless it's interesting to see the directions it has taken. I've been through the installer a couple of times now and made a point of avoiding certain default options (like ext4), but otherwise all looks the same.
And I've poked around the default desktop a bit, making a point of immediately — no, not just immediately but immediately ditching that desktop theme. (Shudder. 😯 )
There will always be little things that irritate, like sand in your mouth. I always thought Add-Remove Programs was superior to the Ubuntu Software Center, if only because you could add more than one thing at a time.
And the long list of social doodads integrated into the desktop only suggests to me that this isn't so much an operating system as an interface to Facebookendsterwitterspace, which are things I avoid like the plague.
On the other hand, whatever memory issue was tormenting Lucid seems to be curtailed in Maverick: My system no longer requires 300Mb just to get started. It's coasting along at a comfortable 150Mb, plus or minus.
Overall, I can only describe my reaction as … nonplussed. I feel a little guilty because I can't rouse any more enthusiasm than that, when even as recently as three years ago, I was more than just a little bit of a fan.
If it works for you and you like it, then by all means please enjoy. I count myself as a supporter of the Ubuntu machine in general, even if the flagship isn't to my liking.
But like I said, Ubuntu's directions and my own diverted long ago. I make no demands of it, but make no apologies for it. It works for me, but it's not what I use … and that's about it.
Fortunately it does give you enough playing pieces to come up with something much more useful. And I suppose, like I said a long time ago, the beauty of it is in its potential to do something — anything — vastly different. Have fun experimenting. 😈

Karl Lagerfeld Lower-Priced Line Fall 2012
The 7 Pieces We Need From Lagerfeld's Second Karl Collection
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. POPSUGAR has affiliate and advertising partnerships so we get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase.
The 7 Pieces We Need From Lagerfeld's Second Karl Collection
Rife with leather, detachable collars, and camo prints, Karl Lagerfeld's second Karl collection launched on Net-a-Porter today. Like his first lower-priced wares, these deliver the same quintessentially Lagerfeld feel — sophisticated and luxe, albeit with Karl's irreverent twist (like the designer's signature gloves to finish every ensemble). And, just like his last collection, you can nab these Fall-ready styles for about $85 to $1,045 (save for a few exclusive confections that are priced between $2,000 to $6,000). When we say "Fall-ready" we mean it; with a lineup of leather pants, vests, jackets, skirts, and even a slick leather dress, plus covetable add-ons like embellished collars, and even printed knits, it's hard to choose favorites, but we've narrowed it down to seven pieces to shop right now — the only thing missing? Maybe a Choupette-printed t-shirt.

Good morning! I received some reader mail and I've been asked to write about spousal RRSP's. Here it goes..
What is a Spousal RRSP?
- A spousal RRSP is where one spouse makes an RRSP contribution but the other spouse (typically lower income spouse) owns the plan.
Why would a married couple contribute to a spousal RRSP?
- Not all married couples should use a spousal RRSP. This only makes senses if one spouse makes significantly more income than the other.
- It provides a means of income splitting. Here in Canada, legit ways to income split are not easy to come by.
- The reason for incoming splitting is so that during retirement, both spouses will have approximately the same income thus reducing income tax.
How does it work?
- In a spousal RRSP, the higher income spouse will contribute to the plan. The higher income spouse can then claim the tax deduction.
- For all intents and purposes, the money within the spousal RRSP now belongs to the lower income spouse.
- The main caveat being that the lower income spouse cannot withdraw from the plan for 2 calendar years (Jan 1-Dec 31) after the last contribution (up to 3 calendar years depending on when you open the account). Otherwise, the withdrawal will be taxed in the hands of the contributor.
- For example, if I contributed $10,000 into a spousal RRSP in May 1, 2011, then my wife can withdraw the $10,000 on Jan 1, 2014 and be taxed in her hands. To reduce the overall wait time, I could contribute to the spousal RRSP on Dec 31, 2011, and withdraw on Jan 1, 2014 bringing the total wait time of 2 years.
Where can I open an account?
Most discount brokerages will have an option for a spousal RRSP. Here is our discount brokerage comparison. Note that our readers have voted Questrade as their favorite brokerage which is where we have opened our most recent RRSP trading account. You can read our full Questrade Review here.
Personally, we don't use spousal RRSPs because my wife and I both have approximately the same salary. However, if we decide that it would make sense for my wife to become a stay at home Mom, then you can be assured that we will use this strategy.If you would like to read more articles like this, you can sign up for my free weekly money tips newsletter below (we will never spam you).

Kate Bosworth got her dream wedding on Saturday.
The actress said "I Do" to director Michael Polish in Montana at the beautiful Ranch at Rock Creek in true country "meadow" style, a source tells E! News.
NEWS: Kate &Michael are officially husband and wife!
Staying true to her boho-chic style, Kate's dress was a simple "plain" and "strapless" gown, which she stunned in while the wedding "took place at sunset" on top of a mountain.
The couple, who began dating in Setember 2011, exchanged vows in front of around 60 family members and friends.
NEWS: Kate talks deciding on the perfect wedding dress
Guests were driven from the gorgeous ranch half way up a mountain still on the grounds to witness the breathtaking ceremony which had the couple surrounded by wild flowers to complete the meadow feel.
Congrats to the happy couple!

We need an eye-catching and unique book cover design that will be featured on the cover of an upcoming print book.
NOTE: The #1 objective of this cover is to SELL the book off our online shelves! Attract attention, stop them in their tracks as they browse our site or see our banner ads, grab their attention, and make them think "I MUST HAVE this book!"
Body Evolution
We have a book being written by the winners of "Biggest Looser" called "Body Evolution." We had the logos designed here on 99 designs, now we need a book cover for their print book.
Here are the logo files:

The whole concept of the company is learning how to evolve your body through 4 things:
1st - Mental Evolution

These are the 4 Pillars of "Body Evolution"...
We also have 5 stages (similar to pictures of an ape evoling into a human.. I'm not sure if we should have a pic of something like that - or just something representing the 5 phases of evolution (from overweight => muscular) - you can see a simlar concept in this old muscle media ad:

One of my favorite childhood memories is of the days when we would have a pooja at home. The long rituals were quite tedious, especially for a kid, but the fun part was getting together with all my cousins and the amazing vegetarian food one we got to eat at the end of it all.
The prasad, or offering to the deity, would usually be a sweet and simple but incredibly delicious dish called Sheera. Friends, family and neighbors would visit to pay their respects to the deity, and each visitor would get a dollop of the sheera in a cute little paper cup.
Now while sheera, made with rava (farina or cream of wheat), is a common breakfast food and snack in Indian homes, the sheera made for poojas is just a little more special.
For one, it incorporates bananas which elevates it from just delicious to simply sublime.
Sheera also uses tons of ghee and milk which, as is obvious by now, is not part of my pantry.
To make Sheera which was as authentic-tasting as it was tasty, I used almond milk. Almond milk is a great substitute for dairy in sweets and it is quite easily available at health food stores. Believe me, you will never be able to tell the difference. Besides, in a dish that uses a generous amount of sugar, it is also a healthier alternative.
My vegan version of Sheera tasted exactly like the original, and no animals were hurt in its making. Now that's something even a god has to love.
Sheera or Halwa
- 1 cup rava or cream of wheat
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 cups almond milk (I used the regular version but feel free to go with low-fat)
- A few strands of saffron , soaked in 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1 large , ripe banana, cut into a very small dice
- 1/4- 1/2 cup cashew pieces
- 3-4 tbsp golden raisins
- 1 tsp oil
- In a small skillet, heat the oil and toast the cashew pieces and raisins until the cashew turns golden and the raisins plump up. Set aside.
- In a skillet, over medium heat, toast the rava until it turns just a couple of shades darker and tastes nutty
- Remove to a dish and set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine the almond milk, sugar, saffron and cardamom powder and bring to a gentle boil. Stir gently a couple of times to help the sugar dissolve.
- Add the bananas
- Add the reserved rava, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. It will take just a minute or two before the rava absorbs most of the milk and becomes quite thick.
- Before taking the sheera off the heat, add the cashews and raisins and stir in.
- Serve hot or at room temperature. It's delicious either way.
I want to apologize here for my rather erratic schedule, but these weeks have been tremendously busy both at home and work. I also want to thank two bloggers who gave me these really amazing awards recently: the lovely and talented Uma for the Rockin' Girl Blogger award, and the incredibly gifted Priya who gave me the Yummy Blog award. I will need some time to figure out who to pass these on to, but meanwhile thanks so very much, ladies– coming from you, these gifts are really special!

If you have been following the news reports about Teresa Giudice for the past few months, and have recently wondered if things could possibly get worse for the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, we are here to report the answer is yes.
The media outlet RadarOnline has uncovered some new documents filed on Thursday by Roberta A. DeAngelis, the US Trustee overseeing the bankruptcy petition of Teresa and husband Joe Giudice, basically asking the Judge in the case to dismiss the Giudices' Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition because of fraud.
The main fraud accusation has to do with that little known book Teresa wrote titled Skinny Italian. The accusation is that Teresa failed to disclose the $250,000 advance she received from her publishing deal with Hyperion, which might explain why she went on a $60,000 shopping spree just days after filing.
This is fraud because the contract Teresa signed has been uncovered, and it is dated October 22, 2009, which is exactly a week before she filed for bankruptcy on October 29, 2009 to the tune of $11 million in debt. "The Defendants have knowingly and fraudulently made false oaths in this case" states the court documents.
Popeater also reports that while Teresa acknowledged in an April 2010 examination under oath that she received the book advance, her legal team failed to officially update court records about the newly disclosed assets.
Other assets the couple is accused of concealing include a bank account of Joe's, two pieces of real property, vehicles, the ownership of an online boutique called TG Fabulicious, as well as Joe's 1601 Maple Avenue Associates, LLC.
The complaint also accuses the Giudices of presenting false income tax returns to the bankruptcy court. And as the days go by, prison time is starting to look like a real possibility for the Giudices, that is if the feds decide to file fraud and perjury charges against them.
As if this wasn't humiliating enough, RadarOnine is also reporting today that Teresa will be hosting a table flipping contest in Delaware on September 25. The site states "Teresa will appear at the Funky Monkey in Wilmington Delaware, where she'll hold a meet-and-greet with fans and invite women to flip a table for a prize."

Baden-Clay denies struggle, scratches
Accused murderer Gerard Baden-Clay admitted he deceived his wife for years but told a court they were mending their marriage, and denied struggling with her the night before she disappeared.
On the day Allison Baden-Clay would have turned 46, her husband told his murder trial that while he was unfaithful to her, he never intended to leave her.
The 43-year-old denied before a packed court room that Allison scratched him on the face on the night of April 19, 2012.
Baden-Clay reported her missing the following day, and told police red marks on his cheek were shaving cuts from a blunt razor.
Crown prosecutor Todd Fuller put to Baden-Clay that the injury occurred when his wife scratched his face while she was struggling with him.
"No. That's completely false," Baden-Clay replied.
The Brisbane Supreme Court has previously heard the father-of-three's phone was placed on charge at 1.48am on April 20, 2012.
Under cross examination Baden-Clay said he left his phone with Allison as usual the previous night.
"I suggest to you that you in fact did have your phone," Mr Fuller said.
"You can suggest away, I did not," he replied.
The accused denied knowing the location of the Kholo Creek Bridge, where his wife's body was found on April 30, 2012, 10 days after he reported her missing.
He said he was following the advice of his father, a former insurance agent, when he phoned an insurance company on May 1, 2012, to ask how to claim on his wife's life insurance.
Baden-Clay agreed with Mr Fuller that he'd deceived his wife for years through more than one affair but said he never loved mistress Toni McHugh, with whom he began a relationship in 2008.
April 2012 emails to her declaring "I love you" and "I will be separated by 1 July", were attempts to "placate" his former employee, who had fallen in love with him.
He said he told Ms McHugh he loved her "because I was concerned about her and because I wanted to maintain the sexual relationship".
Baden-Clay agreed with Mr Fuller he was willing to say "whatever needed to be said" to get himself out of some situations.
"You had the best of both worlds - you had a home with the children and you were able to be the family man and you were still able to play the lover," Mr Fuller said.
"Yes," Baden-Clay acknowledged.
The accused denied he was under financial or relationship pressure when his wife vanished, saying things were getting better.
"Allison and I were working together very well on both our relationship and the business, and financially the business was turning around and we were moving forwards," he said.
Baden-Clay's cross-examination is expected to continue on Wednesday.

Walnut Creek, Calif - The Pac-12 went a perfect 8-0 against non-conference foes in week two, outscoring their opponents 384-111. USC and Washington State faced off in the first Conference game of 2013 with the Cougars picking up their first win over the Trojans since 2002 with a 10-7 victory at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. The competition ramps up this week as Pac-12 teams will face non-conference opponents that have gone a combined 18-2 through the first two weeks of the season with three Pac-12 programs taking on nationally ranked teams. Week three will also feature the second Conference game of the season when Oregon State visits unbeaten Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Kick off is set for 8:15 p.m. MT and will air on Fox Sports 1.
PICK SIX: Pac-12 defenses stepped up to add points of their own to the scoreboard. Five interceptions were returned for touchdowns last week. COLORADO returned a pair of picks for touchdowns (55 yds and 39 yds). The Buff's defense had just three interceptions all of last season. ARIZONA also returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns (52 yds, 49 yds), including Tre'Mayne Bondurant's second return for a score this season. WASHINGTON STATE added a pick six for its only touchdown in its 10-7 win over USC. UTAH's defense also got into the scoring column with a fumble return for a touchdown (21 yds).
QB KEEPER: Last season, four different Pac-12 quarterbacks accounted for 10 rushes of at least 30 yards each, with half of those coming from OREGON QB Marcus Mariota. Just two weeks into the 2013 season, five different Pac-12 quarterbacks have accounted for eight rushes for at least 30 yards. The list this season includes: ARIZONA's B.J. Denker (30, 35) and Javelle Allen (61); Oregon's Mariota (46, 71); UCLA's Brett Hundley (37); UTAH's Travis Wilson (38, 51). Each of the eight rushes resulted in touchdowns. Both Mariota (5th/117.5 ypg) and Denker (10th/65.5 ypg) are among the league's top ten in rushing.
THESE GUYS HAVE CLASS: Thirty NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected as candidates for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate football. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I FBS senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. The Pac-12 was represented by six student-athletes: Vincenzo D'Amato (CAL), Alden Darby (ASU), Jake Fischer (ARIZ), Andrew Furney (WSU), and Will Sutton (ASU).
PAC-12 WELL REPRESENTED ON NFL ROSTERS: According to NFL.com, 266 former Pac-12 football players were listed on team rosters (active, reserve, practice squads) for the opening weekend of the NFL season. That was the third most by any conference, trailing the SEC (371) and ACC (291). USC led all Pac-12 schools with 45 former Trojans listed on NFL rosters, while CALIFORNIA was next with 35. For the complete list (as of Sept. 6), see pages 8-9 of this release.
STANFORD: Senior FS Ed Reynolds had a game-high 12 tackles (9 solo) to go with an interception in Stanford's 34-13 victory over San Jose State. His interception extended Stanford's streak of consecutive games with a takeaway to 25. The streak is the longest in the nation . . . Stanford's current streak of being in the Top 5 of the AP poll for three consecutive ranking periods is one week shy of the school's best of four weeks achieved during the 1940 season.
UCLA: With 4,014 career passing yards, sophomore QB Brett Hundley needs 74 yards to move into UCLA's top ten list, passing former Bruin and 1967 Heisman Trophy winner Gary Beban (4,087 yards). In the season-opener, Hundley connected with 10 different receivers with senior Shaquelle Evans pulling in 6 rec/81 yards and 1 TD . . . Junior RB Jordan James rushed for 155 yards in the opener as UCLA rushed for 345 yards against Nevada . . . In last year's win over Nebraska, the Bruins had 653 yards in total offense (344 rush/309 pass).
COLORADO: Junior WR Paul Richardson has been Mr. Consistency posting nearly identical numbers in each of the first two games this season. He grabbed 10 receptions for 208 yards in the season opener, then tallied 11 receptions for 209 yards in the win over Central Arkansas. It's the first time in Pac-12 history that a receiver has posted back-to-back games with 200 or more yards receiving . . . The Buffs look to start the season 3-0 for the first time since 2008.
USC: The Trojan defense held Washington State to seven yards rushing and now leads the nation in rushing defense allowing 15.0 ypg, as well as sacks with 11 (5.5 per game) . . . The offense saw a breakout performance by sophomore TB Tre Madden who has posted back-to-back games with 100 or more rushing yards. He's the first Trojan since Marcus Allen in 1981 to open the season with consecutive 100-yard rushing games. Madden's grandfather is NFL All-Pro RB Lawrence McCutcheon who set the since-broken Los Angeles Rams career rushing record (6,186 yards).
OREGON: Through two games, the Ducks have posted five 100-yard rushing performances - two by De'Anthony Thomas, two by Marcus Mariota and one by Byron Marshall. Mariota is the first Oregon QB to rush for 100 or more yards in back-to-back games . . . Strike fast, strike often. Eight of Oregon's nine scoring drives last week against Virgina were accomplished in under two minutes. That's 17 of 19 scoring drives this season in less than two minutes (the other two drives were 2:11 and 3:08) . . .
WASHINGTON: The Huskies appear in back-to-back AP polls for the first time since the 2003 season . . . Senior QB Keith Price has 56 TD passes in his career, most in school history and ranks 25th all-time in the Pac-12 . .. Junior TB Bishop Sankey has rushed for 100 or more yards in five of the last six games. He's gained 368 yards over his last two games.
WASHINGTON STATE: With its 10-7 win over USC, WSU snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Trojans. It was the first win at USC since 2000 . . . The Cougar pass defense held USC to 54 yards on 11 completions (4.9 ypc), while limiting All-American Marqise Lee to 27 yards on seven catches . . . WSU leads the Pac-12, and is sixth in the FBS, allowing just 72.8 passing yards per game.
CALIFORNIA: Freshman QB Jared Goff has thrown for 930 yards in two games, completing 72 of 115 pass attempts (62.6 percent). His two-game total is just eight yards shy of the Pac-12 record two-game total of 938 yards set by former Cal Bear Pat Barnes in 1996. Barnes posted 435 yards vs. UCLA, then followed with a school-record 503 yards vs. Arizona . . . The last time Cal hosted a non-conference foe ranked among the top five was No. 4 Nebraska in 1998 (lost, 24-3).
OREGON STATE: Junior QB Sean Mannion threw for 372 yards and 4 TD in the win over Hawai'i. It was fifth time he's thrown for 350 or more yards in a game, while it was the sixth time he's tossed three or more TD passes in a game . . . Mannion connected with 10 different receivers against Hawai'i. Sophomore RB Storm Woods had 7 rec/95 yds, while junior WR Brandin Cooks had 7 rec/92 yds and 2 TDs.
UTAH: The Utes are coming off a game in which they set a school mark for points in a quarter with 35 in the second quarter of a 70-7 win over Weber State . . . It's the second time in school history it has amassed 100 points in the first two games (1973; 29-22 loss at Texas Tech, 82-6 win vs. UTEP) . . . Sophomore QB Travis Wilson has connected on 31-of-47 for 566 yards and 5 TDs this season and his 202.2 passing efficiency rating ranks eighth in the FBS.
ARIZONA: After serving a one-game suspension, junior RB Ka'Deem Carey returned to post 171 rushing yards on 16 carries (10.7 ypc) and 2 TDs, including a 56-yard TD run on his first carry of the season . . . Carey has 31 rushing TDs, second on the school's career list. (UA record is 44 by Art Lupino, 1953-56) . . . Junior S Tra'Mayne Bondurant added his FBS-leading third interception of the season with a pick he returned 52 yards for a TD, his second return this season for a touchdown.
ARIZONA STATE: ASU is 8-0 vs. the Big Ten at Sun Devil Stadium . . . The Sun Devils continue to play discipline football as they committed just one penalty for five yards in their season-opening win over Sacramento State. ASU led the Pac-12 last season with just 55 penalties (4.2 per game) for 454 yards (34.9 ypg) . . . Junior QB Taylor Kelly completed 23 of 31 passes for 300 yards and a career high-tying five TDs. He has a streak of 102 straight pass attempts without an interception dating back to last year, which currently stands fourth nationally. His touchdown passes of 16, 41, 24, 33 and 26 yards, all went to five different receivers. Dating back to the final three games of the 2013 season, Kelly has gone 76-of-102 (.745) with 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions on 1,005 yards.

A petition from the campaign to
Children need both parents to be involved in their lives even when parents don't live together anymore! Loving parents like "Ray" are being denied their parental rights by the other parent and thier attorney, magistrate and judicial system!
Family courts routinely curtail the parenting rights of fit parents by choosing one custodial parent and one "visitor." This must stop. The Supreme Court of the United States has found that "the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children…is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court." (Troxel v. Granville, 2000) This precept was first declared by the Court over 75 years ago, but has been routinely ignored in custody determinations.
Half of all American children are growing up without a father in the home because their parents are divorced or never married. Such children suffer much higher rates of child abuse, educational underachievement, depression or alienation, violence or gang activity, poor health, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, and dysfunctional future family relationships.
Society blames "irresponsible fathers" for these problems. This is a serious oversimplification. When parents are estranged, misguided laws, judicial traditions, and government policies drive many loving fathers (and some mothers) out of their children's lives, with dismaying results for children.
Current Florida cases as well as NationWide are out of control with corruption! Placing a "yoke" of bondage on another human being is SLAVERY. We demand answers and we demand changes in the family court system. This is a call to action!

Support Ray's rights along with all other FIT parents as well as the children's rights to free access to BOTH parents EQUALLY!! That is what is the CHILD's best interests! Parents like Ray, who are loving, caring, God-fearing, hard working individuals don't deserve to be punished as they are! The attorneys need to prove why Ray should NOT have 50% equal time share but they placed the burden on him to prove it! This crime of parental alienation at the hands of our court system goes on every day...some raise their voices, others do not feel empowered to do so. Help us put a stop to this!

How To Jumpstart Your Car During A Zombie Apocalypse
The hurricane is over, but we can't rule out the possibility of a zombie apocalypse in the aftermath. Luckily, Pep Boys put together this little video explaining how to use a battery booster box to jumpstart your car while you're being attacked by zombies.
But if the guy defending the battery box technician from zombies gets bitten, you'd better leave him behind.
