Throughout this manual, the buttons on the player are labelled according to the picture above. Whenever a button name is prefixed by "Long", a long press of approximately one second should be performed on that button. The buttons are described in detail in the following paragraph.
Additional information for blind users is available on the Rockbox website at BlindFAQ.
Hold the player with the buttons on the right and the screen on the left. On the right side of the unit, there is a series of four connected buttons that form a square. The four sides of the square are the Play, Submenu, Left and Right buttons, respectively. Inside the square formed by these four buttons is the Select button. At the bottom right corner of the square is a small separate button, the Power button.
Moving clockwise around the outside of the unit, on the top are the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, which control the volume of playback. The buttons can be distinguished by a sunken triangle on the Volume Down button, and a raised triangle on the Volume Up button. To the right of the volume buttons on the top of the unit is the slot for inserting flash memory cards. On the right side of the unit is the connector for the USB cable. At center of the bottom of the player is the Rec button. To the left of the Rec button is the Hold switch. Moving this switch to the right activates hold mode, in which none of the other buttons have any effect. On the lower left side of the unit is the headphone socket. Immediately above the headphone socket is a lanyard loop and the microphone.
To turn on and off your Rockbox enabled player use the following keys:
Start Rockbox
Long Power
Shutdown Rockbox
On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings.
If you have problems with your settings, such as accidentally having set the colours to black on black, they can be reset at boot time. See the Reset Settings in section 13.3.3 for details.
In the unlikely event of a software failure, hardware poweroff or reset can be performed by holding down Power until the player shuts off or reboots.
Rockbox has a dual-boot feature. To boot into the original firmware, press and hold the Left button while turning on the player.
Note: Due to a bug in some OS X versions, the player can not be mounted, unless the USB
HID feature is disabled. See section 8.5.7 for more information.
With the player connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop). Files may be placed wherever you like on the player, but it is strongly suggested NOT to put them in the /.rockbox folder and instead put them in any other folder, e.g. /, /music or /audio. The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album names from your filetree. See section C for the requirements for Album Art to work properly. See section B.1 for a list of supported audio formats.
After you have first started the player, you'll be presented by the Main Menu. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox, for more information (see section 5.1). To browse the files on your player, select Files (see section 4.1), and to browse in a view that is based on the meta-data1 of your audio files, select Database (see section 4.2).
When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be pretty intuitive. In the tree view use Play and Submenu to move around the selection. Use Select or Right to select an item. When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view switches to the "While playing screen", usually abbreviated as "WPS" (see section 4.3. The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of the current directory. This way you can easily treat directories as playlists. The created dynamic playlist can be extended or modified while playing. This is also known as "on-the-fly playlist". To go back to the File Browser stop the playback with the Long Play button or return to the file browser while keeping playback running using Select. In list views you can go back one step with Left.
Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file, a so-called "dynamic playlist" is generated, unless you play a saved playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your files directory based. Playlists are covered in detail in section 4.4.
From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable. Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used functions.
Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu. From the file browser this can be accessed with Long Select. The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using the context menu from within the WPS.
Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using "Themes". Themes usually only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and all other settings that can be modified using .cfg files. This topic is discussed in more detail in section 13.3. The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on your player.
Note: Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them. Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may not display properly.
To charge your player over USB, hold any button while plugging it in. This will prevent it from connecting to your computer and let you continue to use it normally. Your player must already be in Rockbox for this to function.
Note: Be aware that this button may still perform its normal function, so it is recommended to use a button without harmful side effects, such as Select.

Washington (CNN) -- U.S. presidents throughout modern history have developed their own foreign policy doctrines as conflicts around the world tested their leadership.
President James Monroe was the first to articulate a particular doctrine when in his 1823 message to Congress he warned European powers to stay out of affairs in the Western Hemisphere.
Here are some recent presidents' doctrines:
Barack Obama (2009-present)
President Obama, in his speech Monday evening on the United States' involvement in military action in Libya, revealed the beginnings of his doctrine.
The gist: The U.S. can intervene in conflicts overseas "when our safety is not directly threatened, but our interests and values are," he said. Case in point: The potential slaughter of Libyans rebelling against Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
Critics have lambasted the president for not spelling out the mission in clear terms or consulting Congress before deploying the military.
George W. Bush (2001-2009)
"Over time it's going to be important for nations to know they will be held accountable for inactivity. You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror," President Bush said shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Perhaps that is the key quote when it comes to his foreign policy doctrine, especially as he took the country to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Bush doctrine ultimately said that the U.S. will not hesitate to act alone, if necessary, to exercise its right right of self-defense by acting pre-emptively against terrorists.
Bill Clinton (1993-2001)
President Clinton, who intervened in the mass genocide in the Balkan region during the 1990s, had a doctrine based on interventionism.
In a February 1999 speech, Clinton said it was in U.S. national interest to stop the fighting and repression in Kosovo before it spread.
"Kosovo, a Serbian province, is not an easy problem, but if we don't stop the conflict now, it clearly will spread and then we will not be able to stop it except at far greater cost and risk," Clinton said.
George H. W. Bush (1989-1993)
In 1990, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait -- setting up what would be later known as the Persian Gulf War between a U.S.-led coalition and Iraq.
President Bush immediately condemned the move and looked to gather support from allied countries, including Saudi Arabia.
Bush's doctrine was focused on keeping peace in the Middle East and establishing a new world order.
"The security and stability of the Persian Gulf must be assured," he said during a speech to Congress that year. "And American citizens abroad must be protected. ... Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective -- a new world order -- can emerge: a new era -- freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace."
Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
Tackling the growing rise of communism by the Soviet Union, which he deemed the "Evil Empire," appeared to be task No. 1 for the Republican president.
His aim: Support anti-communist insurgents throughout the world, especially in Latin America, Asia and Africa, according to the U.S. State Department's website.
"We must stand by all our democratic allies. And we must not break faith with those who are risking their lives -- on every continent, from Afghanistan to Nicaragua -- to defy Soviet-supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth," President Reagan said in his 1985 State of the Union address.
The doctrine, which spanned his two terms in office, also aimed to spread capitalism to the socialist nations.
CNN's Carol Costello contributed to this report.

LONDON, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Barristers wearing wigs and gowns protested outside the courts Monday across England and Wales instead of appearing inside.
The job action was held to protest cuts in the budget for legal aid, the Guardian reported. Solicitors, who do trial preparation, joined the barristers, the trial lawyers, on the street.
Only one of the 18 courts in London's famous Old Bailey was in session, the newspaper said. Demonstrations were held in other London courts and in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Preston, Birmingham, Newcastle, Winchester, Bristol and Cardiff.
Nigel Lithman, chairman of the Criminal Bar Association, said the government's figure of 84,000 pounds ($138,000) for a criminal barrister's income is exaggerated. He said those working in legal aid cases made about 50,000 pounds ($82,000), which is reduced still further by chambers' fees, value added tax and other expenses to 32,000 pounds ($52,500).
"There has been a very large response by barristers," he said. "We had 150 people outside the court in Southwark, in south London, 150 in Manchester, 90 in Preston and many more in other cities."
While there appeared to be little disruption, that was because judges, aware the protest was being planned, had scheduled around it, Lithman said. Lawyers returned to work at 2 p.m.
In England and Wales, criminal barristers designated as queen's counsel can also appear as prosecutors. Lithman warned that cutting earnings would have a long-term effect on prosecutions, the Daily Mirror reported.
"We are going to see cases collapsing as they have already started to, there are cases of murders, murder trials, that have collapsed because of them being inadequately prosecuted -- that leads to enormous concerns for the victim's family," he said.

Thom Tillis
It's 2014. Paying women the same as men for the same work should be a no-brainer, right? Not for these right-wing Republicans.
These extreme conservatives have gone to absurd lengths to block and even undo equal pay protections for women, from voting against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, to paying their female employees less than their male ones, to arguing that women don't want equal pay anyway, so what's all the fuss?
The list of these shameful tactics and faulty arguments goes on and on. See for yourself below.

Rowook Park
Seoul, Republic of Korea
Class Year:
Prior Education:
Seoul National University, Bachelor of Laws
What I Did Before Law School:
For little over 10 years, I worked in the Fashion Jewelry Industry, Semiconductor Industry and Chemical Industry as a Foreign Investment Project Team Manager and Strategic Planning Team Manager.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I never had second thoughts about choosing Penn Law, because of its outstanding corporate law program, world-wide alumni net-work and its global recognition as a top law school. Cross-disciplinary education, such as the Wharton Business and Law Certificate Program specifically designed for Penn Law LLMs, was also an important consideration. Last but not least, the mixture of historical abundance and city life in Philadelphia definitely was a deciding factor as well.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
In hindsight, the Summer Program made me clearly see that Penn Law not only is amongst the top law programs in the nation but also have the best LL.M. program in the nation. While the curriculum of the summer program were carefully designed to introduce the foreign trained attorneys to US Law, the program was also filled with a variety of social events so that the LLMs feel welcomed and at home.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
This really is a tough call. In all fairness, I would have to say all the faculty members of the Mediation Clinic. If I had to pick just one, however, I would say Professor Douglas Frenkel since he was the one who introduced me to the Clinic. Classroom discussions with them were open to diverse opinions and truly transformative. I never hesitate to contribute to the diversity of class room discussions. The three professors, all alike, were certainly more than an instructor. They were my mentor and, at times, a good friend.
My Favorite Course (with a brief explanation of why):
Mediation Clinic. With three great faculty members (Professors Goldfarb, Frenkel and Eckstein) and a dozen students from both JD and LLM, I was able to experience the very essence of the 'Socratic' Method of law school education. Furthermore, working on real mediation projects in the second half of the semester was definitely challenging yet rewarding, because I had to mediate various disputes, including custody disputes, in a culture that I was not familiar with.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
This is also a very tough call, since I can immediately think of two or three. The most recent and touching Philadelphia moment would be the Thanksgiving dinner with Professor Goldfarb's family. Much to my surprise, I literally felt at home. The Koreans also have a holiday called "Choosuk," and the idea of sharing and giving thanks to those you love is the same. It was just a big surprise I was able to experience this 'Thanksgiving' moment, similar to that of my culture, half way around the world. The second would be my first visit to South Street, because I was inclined to go there quite often afterwards. South Street is an east-west street in the Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia. The stretch of South Street between Front Street and Seventh Street is abundant with "bohemian" atmosphere and great with its diverse and urban mix of shops, bars, and eateries.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
I am most proud of having the opportunity to represent my country at a top law school and interact with the brightest minds from all over the world.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
- LL.M. representative of the International Law Organization - Member of the Animal Law Project
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
It is simply cool to sit outside of the Penn Museum on a sunny day with a good book, being exposed to one million objects covering the entire history of humanity.
How would the LL.M. Program at Penn Law help my career?
Learning from the outstanding group of legal scholars at Penn Law will arm you with expertise and knowledge to effect positive change and to contribute to your area of practice. Furthermore, the culturally diverse and extremely talented group of the Penn Law LL.M. will not only provide you with a world-wide network but also add to your understanding of business and law in an international context.

Profiles Theatre is bringing back its acclaimed Midwest Premiere of Jailbait by Deirdre O'Connor, directed by Artistic Director Joe Jahraus, for a limited engagement at its new space, The Second Stage. The production runs January 13 - February 27, 2011, at The Second Stage, 3408 N.

Returning to their roles are Profiles' ensemble member Eric Burgher (Kid Sister, Body Awareness); Rae Gray (the upcoming Circle Mirror Transformation at Victory Gardens); and Shane Kenyon (The Tallest Man at Artistic Home). Profiles introduces Norma Serna (Kita Y Fernanda at Clockwise Theatre) as Emmy.Through the course of one dizzying night at a club, Jailbait follows the parallel stories of two fifteen-year-old girls, desperate to grow up, and two thirty-something men who are looking to be twenty-one again. High-school sophomores Claire and Emmy make a game of posing as college students in order to meet older men. Brash bachelor Mark thinks a night out with attractive girls will be just what his friend Robert needs to recover from his recent breakup. When this unlikely foursome collides, they discover some surprising and dangerous compatibilities. Smart, funny, and disturbing, Jailbait asks the question: When do you really become an adult? Jailbait was developed by Deirdre O'Connor in 2008 as part of the Cherry Lane Theatre's Mentor Project, with distinguished playwright Michael Weller serving as her mentor. In March 2009, it received its World Premiere as the inaugural production for its newest venue, the Cherry Pit Theatre. O'Connor is a graduate of Columbia University 's MFA Playwriting program where she received the John Golden Playwriting Award."We opened The Second Stage last September to provide a viable, extremely affordable performance space for young, emerging, and established itinerant companies and to give us the opportunity to occasionally move a successful Profiles production," says Artistic Director Joe Jahraus. "I'm happy that more audiences will have the opportunity to discover Deirdre O'Connor's smart, funny and touching new play. We're looking at the possibility of bringing back other hit Profiles productions as well, such as Kid Sister.

Babies Q&A
Awwwwww, babies are so CUUUUUUUUUTE! Is there any way I can make them cuter?[edit]
Yep. Grab a teddy bear from around the house (or just buy a new one in Buy Mode), and you can place it in the crib with the baby. Tell me this screenshot isn't just the cutest!
Can I choose the gender of my baby?[edit]
Yes. When the woman is pregnant, if she eats apples or anything with apples, she'll have a baby boy. If she eats watermelons or anything with watermelons, she'll have a girl. It's like a score, so if she eats more watermelons than apples, she'll have a girl. Typically, you'll have boys early, because Apple Pancakes is one of the few meals you'll early in the game; and when your Sim becomes a better cook, and gains the ability to cook more stuff with watermelons (like Fruit Parfaits), you'll see more girls. It's not a guarantee, but it greatly increases the chance of seeing it.
A more certain method is to simply order the mother to consume the required fruit. Have her buy or grow a few apples or watermelons, then open her Inventory Panel. Click the fruit in question, then select Eat from the pie menu. Eat about three of your fruit, then make sure all her meals from then on are made of neutral (i.e., non-fruit) ingredients.
Can I have twins or triplets?[edit]
Yes, and you influence that as well. Obviously Sims with the Fertility Treatment superpower have a better chance of seeing it, especially if both Sims involved have the superpower. Further, during the pregnancy, if the mother listens to the kids' radio station, or watches the kids' TV station, or does both simultaneously, this will greatly increase the chance of it happening too.
Can I influence anything else?[edit]
The better the mood the mother is in during the pregnancy, the greater the chance you'll be able to select one or both traits upon birth. Keep her in a good mood, including a visit or two to the spa. Having her and the father reading the baby preparation books (the ones called Totally Preggers and Baby Incoming) will help out too.

- 2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sliced sweetened strawberries, thawed

Would appreciate the instructions being written again. There are no instructions at all for the gelatin portion of the recipe!!
Sep 20, 2009
I did notice that the final instructions for the jello portion were incomplete and used another similar recipe to finish it up. I added 1/2 a pkg of Knox gelatin to the jello, then heated the 1 c. of pineapple juice and 1 c. of water to boiling and added it to the jello mixture. Then I added the partially thawed strawberries and the pineapple and put it in the refrig. to thicken. Two tips from another similar recipe: put the crust and cream cheese mixture in the freezer for a while to set faster, and make sure you have the cream cheese sealed all around the edge on top of the crust, so no jello sinks to the bottom. Also, make sure the jello is quite thick, almost spreadable.

Whatever cherrylady did, she did it wrong! I made this and took it to church today and everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe. The pretzels were crunchy and the whole thing was DELISH!!!!GRANDMASUE

We did not enjoy this combination. The pretzels became soggy and tasted too buttery. The salt, cream cheese, and strawberry were an odd combination.

The magazines have started. We are now in the pre-season — the "unless you're already quite thin, it's time to start losing weight if you want to show your body in public this summer!" phase. (If you are quite thin, please wait for our May issue, when we'll tell you you're too pale*, hairy, blemished, and unfashionable, your boobs are too small to go with your butt, you could still stand to tone up those muscles, and your body insecurity is a real turn-off.)
With regard to all that, please go re-read Marina's guest post, "28 Days to a Bikini Mind." Today, I want to talk about more practical issues: To wit, how much plus-size bathing suits suck. I've been shopping for a new one lately, and I am not a happy fatty.
To be fair, bathing suit shopping just sucks, period. I didn't find it much easier when I wore a common straight size. But at least I knew I could walk into several different stores and find options in "my size," even though most of them wouldn't fit me right anyway. As a fatty, I pretty much have my choice of Target or Wal-Mart — which would be fine (ethical concerns about big-box retailers aside), if they carried suits that work on my body. (More on that in a mo.) They don't. Oh, I can also rent a car and drive to the suburbs to hit a Lands' End** Inlet, where they will have about 4 plus-size bathing suits among the 900 non-plus ones. There's that.
So. I've compiled a list of requests I wish everyone making bathing suits for fatties would take into consideration.
1) If you're a retailer that sells both online and off, put some fucking suits in your bricks and mortar stores. You don't have to put the entire line in there, but could we please have a handful? So we might have the tiniest little prayer of being able to buy a bathing suit we've actually tried on, instead of having to guess at sizing and spend a whole lot of time and money ordering suits and shipping them back?
2) There has to be a happy medium between fabric that "takes 10 pounds off" while squashing your internal organs into a single blob, and see-through, lightweight shit that has no stretch left after it's been in a pool twice. Please find it.*** I actually don't hate the "control" fabrics as much as I probably should, given that the marketing is all about body shame; they have the side benefit of being far more supportive than regular suits, which comes in handy if you do anything other than lie by the pool. But A) being able to breathe is also handy, and B) the more "control" there is, the more they charge. So I don't need a fucking Miraclesuit for $150 — taking off "10 pounds" around the middle will not actually prevent people from noticing that I'm fat — but I do want something that will keep my boobs and gut from flopping around in water aerobics class or, you know, walking to the beach.
3) If you are a retailer who sells both straight and plus sizes, don't have the same bathing suit available in 19 different colors for thin people and just black, brown and navy for fat ones. I know, I know, plus-size suits in light colors don't sell as well, but that's because we've all been brainwashed to believe that A) looking fat is pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a woman, and B) dark colors have magical slimming powers that, like control fabric, will prevent anyone from noticing that you are, in fact, a fat woman wearing a bathing suit. I promise, we're working on getting women to stop believing that bullshit! But meet us halfway, would you? It is so fucking demoralizing to be clicking through the suits (or anything else) at Lands' End and go, "Oh, I love that color!" then click on the "plus" button and find out some decision-maker doesn't think I have any business wearing that color. It doesn't matter that what the decision-maker actually thought, in all likelihood, was just that that color wouldn't sell well enough to the plus market. It feels like a slap in the face, and you can only slap your customers in the face for so long before they start wondering who else might need their money more.
4) Two words: adjustable straps. My chronic issue with plus-size clothing being cut for people with way broader shoulders than mine is just that much more irritating when it comes to swimsuits. And I'd imagine women with broader shoulders have a similar complaint.
5) Two other words: cup sizes. You don't even need a broad range — just "smaller" and "larger" would be a step in the right direction. Since we're dealing with stretchy fabric, it's possible for one swim bra to work with a lot of different boobs. But as it is, different manufacturers usually go too far one way or the other. I love Junonia because their suits will (mostly) accomodate the rack of doom — but accordingly, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who wears smaller than a C-cup. On the flip side, the main reason I can't buy suits at Target or a zillion other places is that anyone who wears larger than a C-cup is basically SOL there. JMS offers a couple of their suits in regular and D-cups, which is all I'm really asking for, but why the hell aren't more folks doing this with a wider selection of suits? (Also, if you're smaller of boob, do the "regular" options in that case fit you, or do you wish they had a third option?)
6) Give us options for bust support that don't involve some sort of hook/clasp around the neck or across the back. The clasp just throws a whole other fit issue into the mix — OK, the bra fits, but will that stupid clasp be too loose or too tight on me? Also, on the rare occasion when I've found one like that that does fit, I have not noticed one whit of actual support coming from the clasp. Make the backs higher and the bras stronger, whatever it takes, but fuck the clasps. (I don't own one of these, but I think it's a brilliant concept for increasing support across the back while keeping the suit reasonably easy to get into.)
7) There's also got to be a happy medium between matronly and sexpotty. Find it.
8) Empire waists and defined cups are great for those who like them, but they're not the end-all and be-all. And here, I am looking straight at Lands' End, 2009. They've finally made a cover-up skirt I really want, but it's meant to coordinate with a bunch of tops I can't wear. Last year, there were at least a couple of tankini tops that didn't look like ass on me, but this year, not a single one.
9) Women who wear above a size 26 like to swim, too. See point 3.
10) Put your plus size bathing suits on fucking plus size models. I don't look anything like a plus model, but I cannot even begin to imagine what a suit will look like on me when all I've got to go on is an image of a very tall, very thin woman wearing it. I'm sure there's yet another argument here about how stuff sells better on thin models, but I really, really don't care. It's offensive and frustrating — and it's also pinning all your hopes on self-loathing customers, instead of customers who already believe they deserve nice things and won't hold off on buying clothes until they lose weight.
11) Finally (for now), if you're selling exclusively online, you need to post a size chart for every brand of bathing suit you carry, and ideally every single suit. Oh, and if there's any sort of skirt or shorts involved, YOU NEED TO MENTION HOW LONG THEY ARE.
All right, that's all I've got right now. Shapelings, tell us what you'd add to the list!
Oh, and for the record, here's a list of all the plus-size swimsuit retailers I can think of off the top of my head. Please feel free to add more of these in comments, too.
Eddie Bauer (mostly, if not all, Miraclesuits)
One Stop Plus (includes Jessica London, Roaman's, Avenue, and lots more)
*If you're a woman of color, you're probably exempt from this one, but on the downside, we have no idea you exist.
** Did you ever notice that that's where they actually put the apostrophe? As in, the end of many lands? My sister pointed that out to me a while back, and it continues to drive me nuts.
***Junonia has come closest to finding it, in my experience. Their "Quikshape" fabric is like Miraclesuit-lite, and their spandex-free, chlorine-proof suits — at least, the one I got a couple of years ago — are quite supportive, though they feel weird and are a bear to get into. But then, Junonia's got other problems. (See points 4 and 5.)

How to Bring a Touch of the Garden to Your Holiday Decorations
As a garden and exterior designer, I can't help but incorporate natural and outdoor elements when decorating for the holidays. And hey, if you think about it, the holiday season is the perfect time to bring the outdoors in. I mean, at what other time of year do we traditionally cut down real trees and put them in our living rooms?! So, as an expansion on this age-old tradition, try bringing some of your garden and the outdoors inside your home when decorating for the holidays this year. Here are some of my favorite techniques.
Naturally Festive
A simple amaryllis planted with green moss in a small garden container makes the perfect garden-inspired holiday decoration for the top of a piece of furniture.
Using natural items and organic materials is one of the easiest ways to bring the outdoors in for the holidays. Besides the ubiquitous Christmas tree, fresh evergreen wreaths and garland are a great place to start, and they will give your decorations a natural grace and fill your home with wonderful aromas. But also keep in mind the potential of other items such as pinecones, dried or fresh vines and sculptural tree branches. These items can even be gathered right from your own garden (did someone say, "FREE"?) and used in combination with basic greenery … whether it is real or artificial.
Freshly Seasoned
As with any occasion, fresh flowers are also the perfect ingredients for your holiday décor. Especially with flowering bulbs such as narcissus and amaryllis, you can introduce a living, growing and natural element to your decorations. Plus, they last for weeks! These bulbs can easily be found at nurseries and garden centers around the holidays and potted in your favorite decorative containers, or you can buy them already planted, as well. Either way fresh, flowering bulbs will fill your holiday home with the colors, scents and liveliness of the garden.
Winter Wonderland
Live narcissus in small garden planters, fresh moss, pinecones and a dusting of artificial snow make the perfect outdoor-inspired centerpiece for the holidays.
We all dream of the perfect white Christmas with freshly fallen snow blanketing the ground and the treetops. Well, regardless of the weather you can create your own white Christmas, and it is actually a great trick for bringing not just the feeling of the outdoors but also the feeling of being outdoors to your holiday decor. By recreating the illusion of fresh snow, you can conjure up a garden-inspired fantasy where the flakes just stopped falling! Simply sprinkle artificial snow on decorations, trees or table arrangements and let it pile up as it would naturally. If you're afraid of avalanches … no problem: Use spray adhesive along with the artificial snow to add sparkle to items such as branches, pinecones and ornaments.
Here are a few additional tips:
1) Artificial snow is usually sold for use with miniature holiday villages, so look for it near the villages themselves.
2) Some artificial snow is nothing more than shredded plastic bags. Skip this and get the good stuff.
3) Finally, when decorating "let it snow" liberally for the best effect!
In From the Cold
Another great way to add a bit of the garden to your holiday décor is to bring some of your favorite decorative elements (such as a birdbath, statue or planter) in from the cold. For example, pile a bunch of colorful Christmas tree ornaments or naturally beautiful pinecones in a birdbath and place it next to your tree for an unexpected touch. Or, drape a statue with lush greenery and a big, festive bow for a dramatic holiday focal point. And, your smaller garden planters are perfect for potting up those narcissus and amaryllis bulbs. Even larger containers can be put to good use by filling them with fresh evergreens or interesting branches from the garden and grouping them around the Christmas tree, using them to dress up an entryway or placing them in an empty corner.
Happy Holidays!

Garden décor, such as this stone finial, can be decorated and brought inside for the holidays to add an unexpected outdoor touch to your décor. Here, fresh greenery, elegantly glittered pinecones and an earth-toned bow combine to create an elegant, understated focal point.
Garden statuary, such as this handsome bust, can be moved indoors during the holidays to create a dramatic and garden-inspired statement.
Establishing an outside influence doesn't mean your decorations have to be traditional. Here, frosted trees and fresh poinsettias are planted in large, contemporary garden containers for a sleek, sophisticated approach to the holidays.
A variety of evergreens, sandblasted Manzanita branches and miniature pinecones lend an organic contrast to the shiny ornaments, mirrored obelisks and glass lamps in this tabletop arrangement.
On this staircase banister, huge sugar pinecones and pheasant feathers were used instead of traditional ornaments to decorate artificial garland. The result brings the outdoors into this holiday home in a dramatic and unexpected way.
A single narcissus bulb, lichen moss and an architectural branch bring a touch of the holidays and the outdoors to this powder room.
Live narcissus and fresh moss in a festive container bring a touch of the holidays and the outdoors to any room.

Natural pinecones and fresh Spanish moss were used to add organic beauty to this stairway decoration.
Natural pinecones were combined with greenery and bright red berries to create this organically beautiful centerpiece.
Real pinecones, vines, greenery and moss topiaries were placed along with simple candlesticks and given a "fresh" blanketing of snow to give a garden-inspired grace to this large tabletop.
Pheasant feathers and butterfly ornaments used as a tree topper bring the feeling of the garden into this holiday décor.

Ashlee Simpson files for divorce
She's 26. They've been married almost 3 years. Her sister Jessica was also married about the same amount of time to Nick Lachey. She split from him at 25. Young marriages, you know?
Ashlee and Pete Wentz however have a child. They were photographed just a month ago, seemingly fine, with Bronx in LA. They were at a holiday party three weeks before that in Hollywood and all looked ok as well.
"Irreconcilable differences" for these two might not cut it, at least not on the gossip circuit and especially considering that there have been infidelity rumours following them around for a long time. She supposedly doesn't trust him because he steps out on her when he's on the road. Supposedly. Between two celebrities, the fame and the youth, you throw her heavy list of issues on top of that – the not eating, the changes in appearance, the insecurity – and, well, their love was not long for the world.
Look out – in the coming days we will find out how angry she is at him. If she's angry, there will be a public blow-out, not unlike Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry. Add Joe Simpson to that combination and the situation gets a lot dirtier.
According to TMZ though Ashlee is asking for spousal support. Let's see if Pete plays along.

Eight Questions: Bianca Bosker on China's 'Original Copies' in Architecture

Touring around China, journalist Bianca Bosker says she heard more than once that the ideal life is, "to eat Chinese food, drive an American car and live in a British house."
She tested the residential principle, finding not only English estates but French chateaus, Dutch townhouses and German villas too.
In her new book, "Original Copies: Architectural Mimicry in Contemporary China" (University of Hawai'i Press, 2013), Ms. Bosker examines the country's copycat construction of Eiffel Towers, Venetian canals, Gothic cathedrals and statues of people like Winston Churchill.
"For the Chinese, the culture of the copy has a distinct value," she writes.
In "Original Copies," Ms. Bosker, an editor for the Huffington Post in New York, has written a considered study of a trend more often dismissed in jest.
The book has plenty of photos. But Ms. Bosker resisted the coffee-table photo essay approach to China's widely recognized fakes phenomenon; she uses the word 'kitsch' only three times in the 132-page text.
"When you hear about the architecture being built in China, you constantly hear about incredible, futuristic, record-breaking modern architecture," Ms. Bosker said in an interview. "That completely ignores what is going on in the suburbs, which is much more retro. It's Louis XIV's private architect from Versailles who is seeing his work knocked off."
Much of Ms. Bosker's analysis comes from western architects and observers. But instead of standing out in front of these places and snickering, Ms. Bosker knocked on doors to meet homeowners in China's "alien residential" communities, as she calls them.
Zhang Xiaohong tells Ms. Bosker her Shenzhen address in Galaxy Dante broadcasts that "we have a social identity at the upper level."
Pondering why Shanghai might model a government office as the White House topped with the Capitol's dome, Ms. Bosker determines that fakery of the West isn't necessarily flattery -- it can also be one-upmanship that reflects growing Chinese confidence. While she isn't the only critic to see evidence of Chinese mastery, and even put-downs, in the architecture, Ms. Bosker is succinct about why China has gone western: "Because it can."
The author recently spoke by telephone with China Real Time's James T. Areddy. Here is an edited transcript.
In the book you describe "the culture of the copy" in China. What do you mean?
In the West there is a sense that copy is very taboo. It's a terrible thing. It's a sign of a lack of imagination.
In China, copy doesn't have the same stigma. You can have a copy and it can be a sign of technological achievement and cultural achievement and it's not inferior.
It's not to say that originality is not prized; it's to say you can copy something and that it can retain – more so than we think in the West – character and essence of the original. Likewise, to copy something can actually be to show mastery of something, both figuratively and literally. I talk about the imperial landscape where rulers would replicate the kingdoms of conquered people within their own domain to show their superiority.
An architect is quoted saying "foreign designers won't design the type of foreign architecture the Chinese want." What kind of "foreign architecture" do Chinese want?
It's not just Paris that is being copied. It's a particular vision that the Chinese hold of Paris.
In Hangzhou, they have a 3/4 replica of the Eiffel Tower. There are town houses that have very dark roofs and shutters. But they've tiled all these non-Parisian landmarks into the development. You've got the Eiffel Tower in Champs Elysées Square. You've got the amphitheatre of Nîmes from a totally different part of France. You've got the parterre garden of Versailles. This is not an honest true replica of France. This is kind of an amalgamation of the greatest hits of French architecture and those that are evocative of an aristocratic lifestyle. You look at what they've left out: the Pompidou, any sort of modern architecture because that is not fitting into the concept of French architecture.
It's not like Las Vegas. These are not theme parks. These are homes. These are communities. These aren't just tourist attractions though they can be that too.
Many of these communities have very strong architectural covenants that prohibit changes that would undermine the Western nature of the development. In (one) case, they relaxed the regulations…..so they could improve the feng shui. The ideal life might be living in a British villa but it better be a British villa with great feng shui.
What are some of the remarkable replicas you saw?
I went to one home in Shenzhen to see a home modeled after the White House. It was called the White House, bai gong. (The owner) was a self-made man; his family had suffered during the Cultural Revolution. Touring it with him, I remember stepping out of the house. He turned around and said, "it's so beautiful. It's just so beautiful." There was this constant sense of pride in it. He'd written poems about the house.
In Hangzhou, I watched a couple have a wedding in the upstairs of this French chapel. The guy officiating was dressed up as a pastor. They had a makeshift altar with a cross on it a cross covered with red Chinese flags. All through the ceremony there were bubbles.
I returned to these different places at different points. Some of them have remained ghost towns.
You find there's a marketing method in the seeming madness. One recent article suggests a fake Eiffel Tower is no different than a U.S. town advertising the "World's Biggest Donut." How do you see it?
It's absolutely true that the Western brand functions as a brand. It features very prominently in the marketing materials. The brochures trumpet every possible association with the West: Here in this British town, your neighbor might be a blonde and the other person next to you might be an expert in Shakespeare.
And the residents – do they live "Western lifestyles?"
It's a hybrid. The Western style can permeate the decorations of the homes: Queen Anne sofas, big brocaded silk curtains, Western style wedding portraits.
I met a man at Vienna Gardens in Beijing. He has Greek statues outside his home. He was proud to point out everything in his home that was Western or imported. He had lamps that were Greek and paintings that were Spanish. But one room in his house had been to a 'T' designed as a very traditional Chinese tea room.
Some of these projects were the brainchild of political leaders, including Thames Town in the "one city, nine towns" scheme of since-outsted Shanghai Communist Party secretary Chen Liangyu. Did you learn much about why he pushed that?
There was a sense this was a very top-down endeavor. There was no consultation. The advisers were called in to make this work. This was a pet project that was initiated by him.
Something that holds true in the Shanghai case and some of the other officially spearheaded projects was officials being able to point to an accomplishment under their tenure. I think there was an effort to bring more development to the suburbs.
These are status symbols on an individual level but also monuments of China's achievement on a state level….by being able to recreate the best architecture, most iconic architecture of the west.
Have you developed any theories about copying as a sign of strength or weakness for China?
Whether you think these developments are kitschy, tacky, beautiful, wonderful, we should come away in awe of China's ability to copy at all levels. There's this controversy over the Soho development in Beijing that Zaha Hadid designed that is (apparently) being copied in Chongqing. It's incredible because the copy is set to be finished before the original. We're not talking about purses or shoes, or a website that takes a couple lines of code. We're talking about two enormous buildings.
It's wrong to look at China's copying and assume that China is going to go on copying forever. It's giving force to ingenuity and innovation on the other hand.
Some of these projects have been repurposed, including the British "Thames Town" in Shanghai and Shenyang's "New Amsterdam." Has the trend gone away?
We're seeing already that these Western themed developments are being supplemented by other theme styles. One in particular is the arrival of traditional Chinese themed communities. There's increasingly a Chinese McMansion that is going up next to the traditional French McMansion.

Armenia's population is 3,2 million, its population growth negative, at around -0.3.[1] It is estimated that over 0.5 percent of the population migrate out of the country each year. Close to half the population is concentrated in Yerevan, with approximately 1.3 million inhabitants. The next largest city, Gyumri, has a population of around 210.100. The country is composed of 10 regions, also called marzes.
According to the Human Development Index (HDI) of 2006 published by UNDP, Armenia ranks 80th out of 177 countries.[2] Armenia is a remarkable 12th - with 99.4 percent - in adult literacy.
In 1994 the Armenian Government launched an ambitious IMF-sponsored economic liberalization program that resulted in positive growth rates in 1995-2005 after the economic collapse following the break-up of the Soviet Union. After an average of double-digit growth rates annually for over a decade, the World Bank termed Armenia an "Caucasian Tiger" in a 2006 report. GDP had reached 4.9 billion dollars as of 2005 (GDP per capita, 1,625 USD), and a 14 percent growth rate was registered in 2005, 13.3% in 2006 (with 6.4 billion USD of GDP) and 12 % in 2007 (with estimated 9.2 billion USD of GDP). Construction makes up the biggest share of GDP with 24.5 %. Interconnected with it the industrial development in mining, energy and metals is increasing too (17.9 % of the GDP). Economic growth though is more broadly based on trade and communications/transport having their impact on the overall economic development with respectively 11.4% and 6.3% of GDP. Agriculture which has had the second largest share in the GDP with 18.1% after the construction is likely to prosper even more due to the MCC (Millenium Challenge Corporation) funded upgrading of the irrigation networks.[3]
However, unemployment remains high. As of 2005, 8.2 % of the economically active population (labour force) were reported unemployed, which in 2007 is reported to have dwindled to 7.2 %.[4] According to World Bank evaluations (of 2005) 31 percent of the population still remain at poverty level.
Around 35 percent of the population livein rural areas while 47 percent of the labor force are employed in agriculture. The country has benefited from international aid, remittances from Armenians working abroad, and foreign direct investment (1.4 billion dollars long term debt and 193.3 million official development assistance as of 2005 according to the World Bank Group Data).

Welcome and thank you for visiting the education programs within the Child Neurology Department at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (CU SOM) and Children's Hospital Colorado.
Nestled in the beautiful surrounding area of Denver, CO, on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, our state-of-the-art facilities, expert faculty, and engaged residents and fellows create a wonderful opportunity for learning, interaction, research, and growth.
The section of Child Neurology is nationally recognized for providing outstanding consultation, clinical care, and surgery for children and adolescents with neurological disorders. The team is considered a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy and seizure disorders, neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, pediatric stroke, and genetic disorders affecting the nervous system. We have a strong commitment to educating and training the next generation of child neurologists. Faculty teach and mentor fellows, residents, and medical students.
The section of Child Neurology offers training in three areas:
The three-year, ACGME-accredited residency program in child neurology provides academic, clinical, and research experiences to residents with previous pediatric training (two years minimum). The goal of the program is to train physicians in child neurology and prepare them for careers in clinical or academic medicine. Training for pediatric residents in child neurology involves intensive clinical training in all aspects of clinical pediatric neurology as well as opportunities for development of clinical and/ or translational science research skills.
Clinical and research fellowships are available in several neurological subspecialty areas. Clinical fellowships in pediatric epilepsy and neuropsychology are currently available, and fellowships in movement disorders and pediatric stroke are being developed.
The Section of Child Neurology supports the neurology education of pediatric and psychiatry residents through elective rotations and works with the School of Medicine to provide experiences in pediatric neurology for third- and fourth-year medical students. Pediatric neurology is an integral component of the pediatric clerkship curriculum for third-year medical students at CU SOM. The faculty provides a lecture in pediatric neurology as part of the clerkship's core lecture series. An elective in pediatric neurology is available for fourth-year medical students who have successfully completed a pediatric clerkship.
We are passionate about education and look forward to sharing our program with you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

So I've been researching the site for tutorial ideas to do and thankfully, I've found one that I've yet to complete (until now). We all know that wolves are a very important part of the world, especially to their favored fans. I find these animals very graceful and royal to the animal kingdom. They convey a strong, majestic stance and their faces have such a sincere yet ominous stare. These creatures are definitely beautiful and I thought by creating a tutorial on "how to draw anime wolves" would be sufficient for their many fans. The preview image was definitely much fun to work on, the background painting was an instant treat. I tend to go crazy when it comes to backgrounds since my skills in that region are lacking. Anyways, I hope you guys will enjoy this simple tutorial. I had intense fun working on it while listening to some World of Warcraft OST's. Peace out and good luck!

When jumping into a crowded market, especially one with a couple of strong players in the lead, a company has to work hard to distinguish its entries from the field. JVC successfully manages that with its debut product, the Picsio GC-FM1–unfortunately, not often in a good way.
On sight, you'd certainly never confuse this mini camcorder with comparably priced competitors like the sleek, first-generation Flip MinoHD or the bulky but top-notch Kodak Zi8. Though it comes in three attractive colors–deep purple, royal blue, and black–and an almost perfect size (a bit thicker than but otherwise smaller and about as light as a BlackBerry Pearl), its shiny faceted plastic face and wavy chrome-colored accent strip are about as sparkly as you can get without actually going the Swarovski-encrusted route. And while testing it in the park, I thought I had developed some magic squirrel-whispering powers until I realized that it was the camcorder that they were climbing the fence to see. Adult humans were less impressed, based on my casual office survey.
The wavy silver sort of camouflages the exposed USB, miniHDMI, and composite video jacks on one side and the macro switch on the other. Unlike many competitors, the FM1 doesn't have a built-in USB connector, though it includes a cable; nor does it bundle an HDMI cable like the Zi8. On the bottom is a tripod socket, hand strap connector, and a door covering the SD card slot and built-in battery.
The back–the side with the 2-inch LCD screen and buttons– is quite attractively designed, but the controls are horribly annoying; they're too flat with no travel or feedback. You have to press the tiny power button with your nail, and there's always a pause before it registers so you're not sure if you have to press it again. With the four-way switch you control the digital zoom (never use it) as well as cycle through the different resolutions. The latter is incredibly frustrating. You press, hard because you don't feel anything, and nothing happens. Press and nothing happens. Press and nothing–wait, did that setting just change? At least there's no menu system to navigate with that control.

Explores origins and developments of abstract painting. Look at, interpret, discuss, and differentiate between different kinds of abstract painting. Is it possible to recognize or find meaning in abstract art, and do different styles of abstraction mean different things? Is it possible to distinguish between good and bad abstract art? Is abstract painting a secret code, an exploration of design ideas and painting techniques, a record of an artist's interior life, or a blank slate onto which we project our own ideas? What is the relationship between abstract painting and the political and social upheavals of the 20th century?

And I've been having a long-running inner idealogical debate about whether the garments should be one single panel folded over, like this, with a cutout for the head –
or two panels stitched together like this. So I tried one of each.

Cozumel Information
Start Planning Your Mexico Vacation
Cozumel Overview
With its eclectic mix of Mexican and Caribbean culture, Cozumel appeals to travelers of all kinds. From cruise ship travelers, adventure-seekers and history buffs, Cozumel has all the action you need in an exciting beach vacation. For starters, Cozumel's only city, San Miguel, offers restaurants, boutiques and colorful shops lining the boardwalk and selling souvenirs and Mayan handicrafts. For the more adventurous, dive into Cozumel's famous clear waters and take advantage of the region's famous snorkeling and diving, as well as its pristine beaches and eco-parks. Finally, those looking to soak up some culture along with some sun, there are plenty of museums, sculptures and monuments to visit. With something for just about every vacation style, Cozumel remains a top destination for both families and adventurists time and time again!
Other Destinations in Mexico
Mapping Out Mexico
Why is Mexico everything to everyone? A quick visit to the east coast sums it up. Cancun's got nightlife and a party scene while Cozumel offers outdoor adventure like diving and snorkeling. The west coast has even more to boast. Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta both offer beaches, world-class hotels and great golf courses, making them perfect family vacation spots. However, adventure-minded travelers will want to head to either Mazatlan to explore historic ruins or Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, which has a similar vibe, but with the feel of an upscale city. And for the escapist, Huatulco and Manzanillo boast virtually untouched natural beauty. While each destination is uniquely different, they all have their own special way of showing you the magic of Mexico.
Sand, Scenes and Eats: Palancar Beach
Located on the south side of San Miguel, Palancar Beach is famous for its powdery, white sand, shopping, restaurants and crystal-clear waters. Whether you want to spend a day at the beach with your family or snorkel through the Palancar & Columbian reefs, the experience is sure to be memorable.
However, a trip to Palancar is not just about waves, you can also enjoy a selection of land-bound activities including beach-side massages, shopping, bars and the freshest ceviche you around to sink your teeth into.
Small Size, Big Thrills: Discover Mexico Park
Wish you could see all of Mexico's most famous attractions, but can't afford to spend the extra time or money? No worries! The expansive Discover Mexico Park houses scale models of Mexico's most popular attractions including Mayan Ruins, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City and much more.
This is a great destination for those who want to learn more about Mexico's history and culture, but don't have the time to visit the entire country.
Explore the Deep: Dive Cozumel
For decades, Cozumel has been known as one of the top diving locations in the world. With crystal-clear turquoise waters, exotic fish, sunken ship wrecks and attractive coral reefs, Cozumel is literally a diver's paradise!
While Cozumel's diving is superb year-round, the absolute best time to dive Cozumel is during the months of June through August. At this time, not only can you enjoy the best diving of your life, but you can rake in the savings as hotel rates are at their lowest. So what are you waiting for? It's time to dive in!
Museo de la Isla de Cozumel
Located in a former hotel, Museo de la Isla de Cozumel is a great place to explore Cozumel's history and enjoy some fine Mexican food!
The museum contains a number of amazing exhibits on the natural history of Cozumel. You can travel through time and discover the history of the island's origins, endangered species, exotic vegetation and ancient Mayan history.
Outside, you can explore an accurate Mayan thatched hut with a guide who'll explain the daily life of the Mayans. This is a good place to learn about Cozumel's beautiful coral reefs before hitting the water and is definitely a must-see spot before you leave the island.
Wild Times at Punta Sur Eco Beach Park
If you love to be out in the wild, then a trip to the Punta Sur Eco Beach Park is an absolute requirement!
This sprawling 247-acre national preserve at Cozumel's southern tip is a great destination for nature lovers and adventurists. The park features exotic birds, crocodiles, sea turtles and many other local species. You can also explore the El Caracol Mayan ruins and the Faro Celerain Lighthouse. After you make your way through the park, stop by the visitor's center to schedule a catamaran or kayak tour around Laguna Colombia.
Cozumel Quick Facts
The main language in Cozumel is Spanish, but many in the tourism industry speak English.
The official currency is the peso, but USD is also accepted.
The standard electricity supply in Cancun is 110 volts with two-prong outlets.
All U.S. citizens must have a valid passport when traveling to and from Cozumel.
Drinking Water
To be safe, it is recommended to drink and brush your teeth with bottled water ONLY.
Time Zone
Central Standard Time (UTC/GMT -5 hours)
Peak Season
