Hello once again my fellow artist and friends. I hope that everyone has checked out the new ad I made for Livestream which can be located off to the right hand side of your screen where I post updates and stuff. Anyways, I thought I would start this brand new summer day, by uploading a lesson on another character from the upcoming cartoon series "Regular Show". So far I submitted Rigby, and Mordecai. Right now, you will have the pleasure of learning "how to draw Pops", step by step. Now, this is going to be another popular figure in the show because he plays a big roll. Pops is a character that looks very much like a human, but in all reality he is in fact a lollipop from a place called Lolliland. His inflated head, and always childlike personality, is what makes him such a fun figure. One of the other cool things about Pops, is that he is unbelievably rich, and because he has always been fortunate, he was also brought up in a very sheltered life. I guess that's why he embraces all that life has to offer. Anyway, I think you will like this tutorial that shows you how to draw Pops" because he is going to be very easy to replicate. I will be back in a while with more drawing fun. Adios peeps, enjoy your artistic day!

Easy pattern
love this used it many times
Great fun pattern and kids always love their name on something, it makes it theirs! Let them pick out fabrics and help out. FUN project.
Love this pattern!! I've made two in two instructions are simple to understand. The letters being in reverse-applique format is great! Can't wait to help and watch my grandchildren select fabric for their name pillow!!
Kids LOVE these!
Love these pillows!
I just finished making one for my granddaughter. Easy to follow instructions. These are adorable! :-)
These are adorable.
Clear and easy-to follow instructions. I made pillows for my two girls and they love them. Thank you!
easy and loved it!!!
I made this pillow for a little girl and she loved it. She sleeps with it every night! She has requested another one to take to her grandma's when she stays their. Easy pattern and directions even for a beginner.
I purchased this to make each one of my 10 grandchildren one for their birthday this year. I have two next month, so I'm anxious to get started. All the kids love to get something special in the mail. They will especially enjoy their name on it so it can be "just theirs." Gayla
This pattern looks like it would complicated, but it was so easy and the finished product looked professional.
LOVE this pattern! so easy and fun!! thank you!!
Made for all my nieces and nephews ,they loved them !
I love this pattern! I have used it over and over again. All kids love to get a gift with their name on it!
This is a great pattern! Love it!
I have made so many of these pillows. Some of them I sold and some were gifts. The instructions are wonderful and the results are just amazing. I love this pattern.
This is one of our most-used and best-loved YCMT patterns. We have made this over and over, for kids and adults alike. We have also used the alphabet to embellish tote bags, banners, LOVE this one!
This makes a great gift!
Made the first one for my Grand-daughter, so easy, now have made almost 30 for friends and friends of friends. It is just the best pattern.
super I've made at least 40 of these my go to present
I am still a beginner/intermediate sewer and based on the reviews thought this would be pretty easy. I tried this pattern once, and maybe I bit off more than I could chew with a long name for my first project, but I've never appliqued anything before and I would have liked some instruction on how to do the sewing for the applique part (how to handle curves and turns, where to leave the needle down on the letter vs the background fabric, etc. when changing direction.) I had to look elsewhere for instructions on how to do this, got frustrated and the name pillow turned into an intial pillow. I'd say if you've never appliqued before, this is probably not the project to learn on. The pillow itself turned out cute and the directions to do it were fine. By the way, anyone wanting to resize the letters should be able to do it using a copier that allows you to increase or decrease the percentage size of your copy. Some printers allow this as well.
love this pattern
Great pattern, so easy and the pillows turn out so cute!! Great for gifts!
Very easy!!! Great pattern.
Just finished my first one, turned out great (if I do say so myself) mostly because the directions were really good. I did embroider the name with my embroidery machine which was quick.
SOOOOOO SOOOOOO easy! Makes a wonderful gift! and it is a great beginner project!!
I have used this pattern for years now. I have eight children and all have their own pillows. And I have lost count as to how many of these I have made as baby shower gifts! I had never appliqued anything in my life, and this pattern walked me right through it, easy-peasy!
Super easy pattern and clear instructions. I whipped a pillow in a couple of hours. This is a great pattern for a beginner!
This is a GREAT pattern! I made them for my guest rooms for my grandchildren. I will be making them for all the little ones on my Christmas list and any baby gift in the future. This was my first pattern from this website.
I have made dozens of these and I absolutely love them!!! So easy!
Made these at Christmas gifts for the grand kids, they've already asked if they can have more for their friends. This is such an easy to use pattern, I'll be looking at all Kimberbell Kids patterns again.
These make such great gifts and they're so easy to sew up. Love this pattern. Easy to understand instructions even if you're new to appliquéing.
Soo nice and goo directions! Love it
I made 4 of these pillows and they came out long and my kids jut love them. I have 3 more to make for my 3 older children. I had never done any applique before and it still came out wonderfully. I will be making more for other children.
This was one of the first items I ever sewed! Love it, great go-to item for baby shower gifts or birthday gifts!
I love this pillow. However, am having difficulty appliqueing around the letters with have any suggestions on how to do that? I am sure it is just me not approaching it correctly.
Great pattern. I love it. I just need to make the letters larger. Im not sure how to do it. But its such a great pillow
easy to understand and follow!
One of my favorite "Go To" patterns, especially for kid's gifts. Often I don't have a lot of money when my kids get invited to a birthday party, but I usually have enough materials on hand that I can pay very little for a GREAT gift. All the kids LOVE them when they receive them.
I made several pillows a couple of years ago and they were loved by all!
These are just fabulous gifts all year round! Easy to follow instructions and such a fun gift to give AND make!
really great pattern made two already and will be making more for birthdays this year. Even my teenage daughter loves her pillow :)
I have made so many of these and they are always a hit
I have made a couple of these and everyone just loves them : )
Great pattern, clear and concise instructions. But, I need to resize the letters as they're far too small for what I'm doing - can't seem to figure out how to do this? Can anyone help??
perfect perfect this was one of my first sewing projects and it was easy enough for me to complete yet looks fantastic!!! I get compliments all the time and raves of reviews!!!
Thank you for a fantastic pattern. So easy to follow. I have orders from everyone in the family, even the adults :)
Looks difficult but it's not! Very clear, plain instructions. I've made a few so far and plan to make more!
My daughter absolutely loves this pillow. Thank You so much for the pattern!!!
I love this!! super easy. I've made more than a dozen pillows so far and everyone loves them! still on back order for some friends! Can't keep up! I think I might make one for myself!
This pattern is great! These pillows make wonderful presents!
i love this pattern. Every Christmas I end up making two or three of them as gifts. I've lost count of how many I have made.
These pillows are so easy to make and look like you have spent hours. I have made them for my grandkids and as last minute birthday gifts.
My daughter loves the pillow I made for her. It's nice that it's a long pillow because it goes across the back of her daybed. Will be making another one for my younger daughter very soon. This is also a great scrap-buster project!
Love this pattern! Pillows are so cute and it is so easy to follow!!
I made a bunch of these as gifts. Love the pattern very easy to follow.
These pillows look so hard to make that I actually bought the pattern nearly a year before I actually attempted to make one! I was so scared of it! But I finally made myself sit down and make one for my daughter and now I can't stop making them! The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and even if you've never appliqued before (I hadn't) you won't have any trouble at all. I love these pillows! I look for excuses to make one for someone now!
Wonderful pattern, easy to follow instructions. Have made 4 so far and the grandkids love them.
Great pattern! Easy to follow!
Love making these pillows. I made one for each of my grandchildren and I have 10 of them. They absolutely loved them!!! Easy pattern!!!!
Love this pattern! I have made these for gifts and everyone loves them! Very easy to make.
Birthday Sleep-over with personalized pillows as a party favor! WIN! Wonderful pattern! Great instructions, and many sweet dreams! This was the perfect idea at exactly the right time!
This pattern saved me at Christmas. I made them for all my nieces and nephews and they were a favorite gift!
I get requests for these all the time! Everyone loves and raves about these pillows. The first one I made took a little time because I was making sure I was following the steps to the 'T' . It now takes me about an hour or so depending on the name. Considering this was the first time I had ever done applique... I was very happy. It also opened up a whole new world of applique to me. Thank you so much for this pattern.
easy as pattern to follow for a new sewer
Love this..I had some kids make them for themselves...
These are my favorite! I have made these for all the kids I know and some adults, too! Nothing can go wrong with this pattern.
I made these for my friend's girls on their birthday. They loved having something special with their name on it. I think this may become a standard gift!
Great Pattern, Easy Instructions, and it turned out So Cute!
Easy pattern. Great for gifts.
Super easy to put together, and they came out so cute. Made them for our homemade Christmas this year. The kids LOVED the fabrics I picked just for them. Big hit at our house.
These pillows are awesome! The instructions are well written & the pillows are quick & easy to make. I have made them as gifts for my children, nieces & nephews, and many friends. I always get the same response... everyone loves them!
Very cute, easy direction and the options are endless!
I LOVE this pattern! This pillow was so easy to make! I made one for my daughter, niece and little sister.
started making one for christmas but to me it took too long
will try another one when i have more time...
such a great pattern I have made so many of these Love it!
This is one of my favorite gifts to make. So much fun; kids (and adults) love them.
These are a winner, every time! Simple to put together, in any color scheme. Everyone I've made these for LOVE them, and are so pleased to have such a special personalized gift. I've made these for every birthday party my kids attend.
Made these for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas. They all loved them. Even the 17 year old. I now have to make some for my children because they want one. Completely happy with this purchase.
Easy to use patterns and Great suggestions!! made Christmas gifts for Out of state Family easy and they all LOOOVED them!! Even the 15 y/o Boy!!
Easy and fun to make!
AWESOME!! All the kids (plus my own) in my extended family have one. These make great gifts!
I love this pattern! I made all my Grandchildren one for Christmas. They all love them. Now my 25 old daughter wants one. lol
Cant say enough about these pillows. Im am hooked. Even my adult aged children wanted one. I love the lettering and have used it for banners and blankets as well. The quilting part did intimidate me but it was soooooo easy. Very clear Instructions.
Love love love these pillows! Finished three during a few nap times. Very easy and great instructions. I ended up lining my third pillow with flannel to make it a little heavier and less lumpy and it turned out perfectly. This will be my go-to gift this year!
I have really loved my "Personalized Name Pillows" from Kimberbell Kids. I've made 5 for my own kids and 2 for my twin nephews. The kids LOVE them. I even put X's and O's inside my own childrens pillows so they'd always have a hug and kiss from mom.
Name Pillows This is the best ebook! I love it! It is super simple, you can make such a variety of looks from just one ebook! I've made these for gifts for my children's friends and they LOVE them and the other parents can't wait for their kids' birthdays so they can get one too! lol!
Great pattern and so easy to follow. I have made several for my grandchildren and they love them.
Great pillow. However it took me 3 hours to make the pillow cover and I used 5 machine embroidered letters. Guess I will just have to keep practicing!
I love this pattern too! I make them for baby gifts and the WHOLE family loves them. I add small, pretty ribbon strips at both ends at the top of the pillow and they can be tied on to the top inside or outside of the crib rail. When the baby is old enough to stand, the ribbons can be tied and and the pillow place on a shelf or chair in the room or cut off so there's no ribbon safety issue. I started doing machine embroidery applique because I've NEVER been a good satin stitcher!
Nice and easy to follow. Great for gifts and using up all your fabric scraps.
This is a great pattern with clear easy to follow instructions. I've made a pillow for each birthday party my daughter has attended for her preschool friends and I'm not sure who's happier the kids or the mom's. What a great personalized gift idea for not a lot of money. We'll be using this one for a long time to come!!
I found the instructions so amazingly simple. I was able to make it using scraps from my quilting stash. If you know a child with a unique name that you can't find anything personalized for, this is the perfect gift and how special they will feel having something that is personal and theirs! I embellished mine with cut out cupcakes. http://quiltingranny.blogspot.com/2009/05/uniquely-hers.html
I made a slew of pillows this year for Christmas gifts for all my friends and family's children. They are so fun to make! and I love that you don't need large pieces of fabric - I used up a lot of my scrap fabric stash and that made the pillows a very inexpensive, but very nice personalized gift. The instructions are easy to follow and I loved the way the letters were printed in reverse for easy transfer! Thanks so much!
I made my first pillow this morning for a birthday part we went to this afternoon. I am not a beginner sewer, but not a professional either. Start to finish took me about 3 hours (with interruptions from 3 kids). The instructions are well written-the only thing I had to do over was make sure the fusible web is applied to the WRONG side of the fabric. Either that wasn't in the instructions, or I missed it. Oops. Other than that, I hit no road bumps. The pillow was a hit at the party, and I have had 3 requests from my kids for their own, and 3 from other people. I love it!! Thank you!!
What a sweet pillow! Instructions were clear and well illustrated. If you need a quick idea for a baby shower gift, pair it up with the burp cloth instructions...you will be the "hit" of the party. I was able to complete this pillow from printing the instructions and lettering to walking out the door with gift in hand in less than an hour. Way to go Kimberbell Kids! This pillow is really perfect for everyone. These are easy enough to make for just about any occasion. Thanks so much!
This is a great pattern. I made lots of them for my daughters friends as Christmas gifts. I am a newbie to applique and I think they still turned out great!!
I love the personalized name pillow instructions! Very easy to follow and well put together. I have already made 6 pillows for Christmas gifts!
These pillows are the best! Everyone loves them! I made one for my daughters friend who is 8 and one for my other daughters friend who is 16 -- doesnt matter how old - they loved them just the same! Now everyone wants one! They are quick and easy to make and I love it! The instructions are easy to follow and very detailed! Thanks so much!
I made this pillow adding a row of black paisley around the center block with the name on it. I have the "Believe" pillow pattern and it shows to do that. It made my pillow somewhat larger, but set it off like a mat on a picture. I covered cording for the outer edges of the pillow...fat, fat cording. It was darling.
Wow! I love this pattern! Kim's instructions are so clear and easy to understand. The pillow came together so well and my daughter is very happy with the results. She even helped me to stuff 'her pillow' and picked the colours. A great project!
SOOOOOOOOOO easy! Makes a wonderful Christmas or Birthday gift! Perfect project for beginner!
I am certainly not an experienced sewer and I constantly get compliments on the pillow I made for my baby girl. I'm in the process of making one for my son now and am excited to see his face when he reads his name on it!

Hello friends,
I hope there are still a few of you who might remember me. For those who don't know me I joined this forum when Paris was about 6 months old, and today she is 10 years, 4 months and 19 days young!
Trivia question: When is her birthday?
In the community I am in, there has been a recent craze in regards to RAW food, mainly because of the very bad quality kibble that we have in Dubai. More importantly, this craze is because more and more people are becoming aware of the low quality of kibble in general (or so it seems).
I bit and switched her over to a RAW diet since 24 hours, and I looked at some of the RAW topic posts on this forum, but unfortunately a) they are very outdated and b) I have always been bad in using the search function.
I wanted to take your opinion on it all as I am sure a lot of you are far more experience and have been doing it for years (if my memory serves me correct). She gets chicken ground mix that contains 80% muscle meat, 10% organ meat and 10% bone. We've also added some veggies in the mix. Her other meal plan consists of chicken and beef mix with the same ratio as mentioned above. Lastly, she gets a whole prey model meal which is basically beef with bones. I sometimes add some minced fish (once a week). Her treats are treated chicken legs in an egg popsicle.
Even if you don't have anything to add, please come by and say hello to your old friend. And if you have anything to add that would be great. I wanted your opinions on the matter because you are all my trusted advisors since Day 1
Paris is 10 and she's on a whole new diet!
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

Re: Paris is 10 and she's on a whole new diet!
I feed pre made raw and add a daily oil. Either cold pressed co co co nut, cold pressed extra Virginia olive oil, or flax seed oil capduke( pierce a hole and squeeze the oil over the food or fish oil 1200 mg with 360 mg Omega - 3. Purified to remove Mercury. All organic if possible.
Glad to read you and beautiful Miss Paris are still well

Ein skurriles Fundstückmöchte ich den p.t. Mitlesenden nicht vorenthalten. Es beschäftigt sich mit der ökonomischen Seite einer fiktiven Insel im viktorianischen England, die der eisenbahnfreundliche Pfarrer Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry OBE (1911-1997) zur Unterhaltung seiner Kinder erfunden hatte, und deren bekanntester Vertreter Thomas the Tank Engine ist:
Being the father of a toddler, I spend a lot of time watching Thomas the Tank Engine. As a writer for a business magazine, my mind can't help but be puzzled by how the economy of the Island of Sodor actually functions. It seems to me to be dreadfully inefficient, and for the life of me I can't figure out how anyone on the Island turns a profit – especially the railways. Here's just a few questions I've had while watching the show:
How does Sodor make cronyism work?
There's clearly a bit of cronyism on the Island of Sodor helping to line the pockets of Sir Topham Hatt. Although reference is frequently made to elected officials such as a Mayor, Sir Hatt seems to be in charge of virtually everything on the island. In addition to running his own railroad, he's often in charge of projects – like building a Search and Rescue station in Misty Island Rescue - that should properly be the purview of government. Indeed, the Island of Sodor bears no small resemblance to Boss Hogg's Hazzard County, with Hatt seeming to own most of the businesses around and able to get the government to back those industries.
Usually, though, this type of cronyism leads to massive inequalities of wealth (like in poverty-stricken Hazzard County) as established businesses use the power of government to thwart competition. On the other hand, the Island of Sodor seems to have a thriving middle class is generally prosperous. It's not clear how this is possible.
Why do the trains have drivers?
One of the most remarkable things about the railways of the Island of Sodor is that they are managed by intelligent trains. These trains are capable of reasoning and planning out their own workdays. They also drive themselves – it's made clear that they can move on their own power. So why do they have drivers? That seems remarkably inefficient All of the money spent on their payroll is pretty much a loss for Sir Topham Hatt. For a guy who has the ambition to turn 300 square mile island into his own personal fiefdom, that seems to show a remarkable lack of avarice and foresight. Surely he has some other economic operation he could hire those drivers for. Or else not keep them around at all.
Why aren't the trains used more efficiently?
For the most part, the freight trains on Sodor only haul one car at a time – occasionally, they'll haul two. Even more inexplicably it's not uncommon to see two engines being used to transport one freight car. This level of inefficiency is simply insane. The Island of Sodor isn't that big. There's just no reason why one engine can't be used to haul multiple cars. The engine fleet of Sodor's rails could easily be cut in half, at least, and its regular costs cut accordingly. Of course, this represents the economic danger in Sir Topham Hatt's monopoly. Through Hatt's cronyism, he's clearly keeping trucking out of Sodor, making his rails the only place to turn for businesses that want to transport freight.
Why aren't routes and schedules determined centrally?
On Sir Topham Hatt's railroad, engines are given a cargo manifest and told the destination of the cargo. The route the train takes to the destination is up to the intelligent train. In theory, this sounds good – local knowledge and individual initiative are usually superior to central planning. However, the personalities of the intelligent trains on Sodor are, for the most part, very naive and child-like. This is almost certainly a deliberate decision to prevent the trains from rising up and rebelling against their human masters. But as a consequence, the trains often find themselves losing cargo or delivering it late. If you're going to have child-like trains, they're going to need guidance and direction. Their routes and schedules should be planned rather than relying on the unreliable trains to do their work.
Why does Sodor ignore its massive economic comparative advantage?
The Island of Sodor is pretty economically self-sufficient. It has farms, coal mines, quarries, zoos, and many other industries. And while that warms the heart of my inner 19th-Century Whig, in an era of globalization, it's not the Island's best economic decision. As David Ricardo described way back in the 18th century, economies should focus on their comparative advantages. And the Island of Sodor has a major comparative advantage: they have the best artificial intelligence researchers in the world.
AI research on the Island of Sodor is massively ahead of the rest of the world. The trains on Sodor have been designed to understand natural language, solve problems for themselves, recognize new situations, and even have emotions and personalities. This is way, way ahead of artificial intelligence research in the rest of the world. Google, BMW, and many other car companies, for example, are working on driverless cars – a problem that Sodor has solved. Apple and Google are also working on natural language comprehension for use in voice-activiated search engines for phones. Again, Sodor has this licked.
In reality, Sodor shouldn't be a quaint island whose dominant industry is rails. It should be the new Silicon Valley, using its advanced artificial intelligence research as its primary economic export. This tiny island could be worth billions – if not trillions – of dollars if it focused on its software industry instead of coal and rail.
How else do you think the economy of Sodor could be made more efficient? Feel free to chime in in the comments.

Disappointed to be just outside the top 10, but I near the bottom at one stage but I did better in the knockout stages.
at least finished on the positive side

Jim Nabors performs at Indianapolis 500 one last time
INDIANAPOLIS — The first time Jim Nabors sang Back Home Again in Indiana, he thought he was supposed to be singing the national anthem.
"When I got over there to meet the conductor of the Purdue band, I said, 'What key do you do this in?' He looked at me and said, 'We only got one key.' I said, 'No, Star-Spangled Banner's got two keys.' He said, 'You're not singing that.' I said, 'What the hell am I singing?'"
The year was 1972. It was five minutes before the start of the Indianapolis 500 when Nabors discovered he was singing about new mown hay and moonlight on the Wabash.
INDIANAPOLIS 500:All-time winners since 1911
GLAMPING:Indy 500 fans revel in camping with perks
"I had never seen that many in all my life," Nabors said. "He said, 'You're singing the traditional song that opens the race, Back Home Again in Indiana. And I looked at him kind of funny and said, 'I'm from Alabama. You still want me to do it?' He said, 'Well, do you know it?' I said, 'I know the melody, but I don't know the words.' This is a true story. I'm writing on my hand the words in this five minutes."
WATCH: Nabors performs at 2014 Indy 500
Since then, Nabors has sung the song 35 more times. He announced his retirement earlier this year.
"You know, there's a time in life when you have to move on," he said. "I'll be 84 this year. I just figured it was time. … This is really the highlight of my year to come here. It's very sad for me, but nevertheless there's something inside of me that tells me when it's time to go."

KDE4 Version of Digikam Photo Management Available
Photographers in the Free world rejoice! On behalf of the Digikam developer team, Gilles Caullier has announced the first KDE 4 release of Digikam, the photo management application.
Digikam is a full-fledged tool that covers the whole digital photography workflow, from downloading the pictures off of your camera (and in the new version even capturing photos from inside digikam) to sorting, editing, rating and tagging (including geolocation and editing of raw photos in the new version) and of course also publishing your photos. Digikam now also allows for importing images from Social Media such as Facebook and SmugMug. Export plugins makes it easy to publish your photos to sites such as Picasa, FlickR, 23hq, Facebook and SmugMug. For the more traditional paper version of photos, there is the scan option that lets you import and manage all your old photos from Digikam as well.
The new KDE4-based version of Digikam comes only one day after the release of Digikam 0.9.5 for KDE 3 and the release of Kipi-plugins 0.20.0, the plugins that provide image processing, import and export functionality to Digikam and other KDE graphics applications. There is also a Windows version of Digikam available via windows.kde.org. Digikam is Free Software, licensed under the GPL and can be obtained free of charge.This brand new version of Digikam does not only come in new Oxygen-clothes, it also gained a host of new features, some of the more impressive are:
For a more comprehensive list, visit the changelog available via digikam.org
Congratulations and thank you
A big congratulations for a job well done. Thank you for providing such useful tools, I use it almost every day.

well done
i think there are some amazing improvements there like the connection to facebook, flickr, picasa etc. really smooth.

Promo Image
While I don't use Digikam myself (don't care much about photography), I hear it's an excellent application, so congrats from me :)
But on another note, I love your promo image in this article. May I ask how you made it?
Cheers, Mark.
By Mark Kretschmann at Wed, 2009/03/18 - 4:27pm
SVG + inkscape
I'm not the author of this promo page. It's done by a very good Finnish designer named Risto Saukonpää. I know that he use SGV and Inkscape.

Cheers bro, I didn't know
Cheers bro, I didn't know about this program. Spooky you posted it exactly the day I needed something like it :)

Basic tools
I made promo from digiKam (with two digiKam color themes and KDE4 style "bespin") with KSnapshot and few small effects with the Inkscape (like the digiKam logo with digiKam slogan the Box on the middle), while the box is photographed and edited by colors and markings and then all edited on the GIMP and showFoto. All managed with digiKam.
I tough first to use Screenie but it has little limited usage, so making that by hand was easier to get wanted result (like the Marble map area etc).
I have two others coming for 0.10.0 release what can be founded later from digiKam flicker! site like the others.
By Fri13 at Tue, 2009/03/31 - 5:01pm
Made me happy
I use digikam for all my photo-needs and will have a look at the windows version too for my friends.
Sent a token amount of money their way as a little thank-you.
By osh at Thu, 2009/03/19 - 8:09am
What about printing?
I use KDE for all tasks discussed above but I must print photos in Windows. Are there some improvements in area of cropping, auto-fitting to paper, and so on related to printing?
By alukin at Thu, 2009/03/19 - 9:44am
work in progress...
Angelo Naselli work in new Print Assistant plugin. Code is already available in svn from kipi-plugins project, but not it's not yet complete.
I recommend to checkout code, compile, test, and report to bugzilla.

By Gilles Caulier at Thu, 2009/03/19 - 10:15am
Between porting to KDE4, the new features, and the unbelievably-long list of bugfixes, I am just flabbergasted at how much has been achieved. Has digikam somehow been able to fund a whole army of fulltime developers? Or is just raw talent :-)?
I haven't been able to test it yet, but from the changelog alone it is clear that this will be well worth the wait (and more). Thanks!
By tangent at Fri, 2009/03/20 - 2:02pm
A little team
In digiKam, we are 3 active lead developers. We receive also some important patches from contributors.
Project management use KDE bugzilla. We trying to organize bugs reports by priority order. Listing all closed bugs is a way to follow works in progress...
From Kipi-plugins, there are others developers too. We contribute a lots to this project.
There are also some shared library used by digiKam and Kipi-plugins that we manage (libkexiv2, libkdcraw, libkipi) or contribute (Exiv2, and LibRaw).
To resume, yes, we are very busy. This is why, all contributions are welcome...

By Gilles Caulier at Fri, 2009/03/20 - 2:50pm
be honest
Come on, Gilles, be honest. You guys have a bunch of robots typing away somewhere in a basement, right? Considering the excellent communication and project management (extensive list of bugs fixed, blogs etc) you wouldn't have time for that much coding ;-)
By Jos Poortvliet at Mon, 2009/04/06 - 7:11am
Ace ! Now I can upgrade
Ace ! Now I can upgrade gwenview :-)
By Tom Chiverton at Fri, 2009/03/20 - 7:42pm
GREAT news!
All I can say is, YAY!! I've missed Digikam since upgrading to KDE 4.x and am glad it's available again. Good job!
By Xenix1985 at Fri, 2009/03/20 - 11:27pm
The program amazingly
The program amazingly flexible, it can be adjusted quickly in the necessary direction: to bring accents on houses, managers, to a disposition - and all it to keep for further use in the necessary situation. And, that the most interesting, you should not pass from one window in another, all settles down on one panel and you work in several generic viagra modes simultaneously and the necessary information receive in very convenient kind, and at own discretion can work with a tabular variant, the dynamic schedule or zodiac circle practically at once.

Google promised a new Blogger interface back in March and started a limited test in April. "The new design is not only cleaner and more modern, but it also uses Google Web Toolkit, delivering the latest in web technology."
The new interface is now available in Blogger in Draft, but it looks quite different. "Over the last couple of months, we've made significant improvements to our new user interface. First and foremost, we've incorporated your feedback and made numerous fixes based on that feedback. Also, we've updated the look and feel of our new design, inspired by Google's newest design evolutions," explains Google. Blogger uses Ajax, so all the pages load a lot faster, including the post editor. Unfortunately, Blogger is still very slow when you perform a search and try to display posts or comments.
Blogger's new UI is cleaner and it offers additional information about your posts: the number of pageviews. Tabs have been replaced by a vertical menu and the list of labels is now a drop-down. The post editor is much better, especially if you use the default view. Blogger's new editor takes up most of the page and post settings are now included in a sidebar.
There's a lot of white space in the new interface, buttons aren't big enough to be readable and Blogger includes too much information that's not very useful: the total number of published comments and the total number of pageviews. The new interface is a mixed bag: it's modern, clean, faster and more powerful, but there are many things that need to be changed before replacing the existing interface.
You can try the new UI at draft.blogger.com and you also have the option to make it the default interface.

We generally pass on random phone rumours, but PocketNow seems to have scooped something that sounds awfully tasty. The LG X3 (codename) will supposedly have a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, a 4.7-inch 720p screen, an 8MP camera and NFC. Um, yum?
It will supposedly launch in the first half of this year with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on board. It's also said to have a serious 2000mAh battery under the hood and 3G/4G radios will vary by region. It's possible that we'll see this thing unveiled at MWC this year. Or maybe it will dissolve into thin air. I think that's less likely, though, because 2012 is looking like it'll be the year of the quad. [PocketNow via Phandroid]

ELS Educational Services, Inc. and Jiangsu University Sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Expand On-campus Language Center
12月 20, 2016 5:00 上午
ELS Educational Services, Inc. and Language and Culture Center of Jiangsu University (LCC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement to work toward establishing an ELS Language Center on the Jiangsu University campus.
ELS will deliver English training and related services to incoming international students, and existing domestic and international students, and enhance Jiangsu University's worldwide brand recognition and international student recruitment ability via ELS' global recruitment network.
Jiangsu University has recognized the need for an English Language Center on their campus for international students looking for opportunities in China and for Chinese students exploring opportunities abroad.
The ELS Language Center will deliver English programs to Jiangsu University faculties and staff including English preparation for students looking to study abroad. The Language Center will also organize study abroad programs, including short term exchange/summer programs for students and faculties of Jiangsu University, and other opportunities in education.
The ELS Language Center on the Jiangsu University's campus is scheduled to open in 2017. The proposed Language Center will also have the potential to assist students from other Asian countries such as Bangladesh, India, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
The MOUs were signed at the U.S. Consulate General office in Shanghai and witnessed by Mr. Hanscom Smith, Consulate General of the United States of America in Shanghai, China and Mr. Frank Joseph, Commercial Officer, among other dignitaries. Mr. Mallik Sundharam, Vice President – Business Development, and Ms. Xing Ming (Elva), Vice General Manager – China, of ELS Educational Services, signed the MOUs on behalf of ELS. Dr. Xiao Fei (Ren), Dean of the School of Liberal Arts; Director of Language and Culture Center at Jiangsu University, signed the MOUs on behalf of LCC.
Jiangsu University is a comprehensive teaching and research university in China with 24 schools, offering 88 undergraduate programs in 10 academic fields as well as 42 doctoral programs. Jiangsu University has over 2,400 faculty members, 450 of which are professors. 54% of Jiangsu professors hold a Ph.D. in their field. The university enrolls over 33,000 full-time students, over 800 of which are international students from 74 countries.
Both LCC and ELS will discuss the proposed collaboration further and arrive at the terms of business in the coming months.

So I am finally building a RepRap Prusa Mendel
by armageddon on Jan.13, 2012, under Projects, RepRap
After I saw those RepRap things at shackspace, I simply could not resist anymore. I had to get one. So I ordered everything needed for a RepRap Prusa Mendel except fot the plastic parts from Cubic Print and the German RepRap Foundation Shop. The delivery from GRRF arrived this morning. As you can see in the picture, it contained the "hot end", 2.2kg of black ABS filament and the kapton tape.
I was so excited that I wanted to do something with that stuff. So I started assembling the hot end. Pushing the resistor, wich is used as a heater, in the clamp block turned out to be more difficult than expected. Like their (GRRF) manual stated, I had to sand the resistor quite a bit so it could fit in. I was very surprised when I read that you actually don't need any glue to hold the resistor and the thermistor in place. They wrote that it expands when heated up and then holds perfectly, also making enough contact to transport the heat. I think I can still apply high-temperature-glue at any time later if I really have to.
If you're new to the RepRap project and want me to explain things more detailed, just leave me a comment and I'll try to be more verbose on what I did and how.
I am expecting the second delivery to arrive tomorrow, let's see how far I get with acquiring the plastic parts until then.
Oh and I guess there will be a timelapse of the whole assembly

A 1982 letter from Joe Paterno to one of his former players first popped up on CBS Sports last Thursday, and it also appeared on former NFL player Dustin Fox's Instagram account. In the letter, Paterno takes the player to task for not paying $12.99 in hotel service charges that he racked up while traveling for the Fiesta Bowl. The letter is chock-full of the kind of old-timey moralizing that once made Paterno college football's lovable grandpa. But now, it's just kind of weird (click to enlarge):
You don't do things right sometimes; you do them right all the time. Wise words indeed.

Didier Drogba may lead a star-studded cast list at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations — but this year's competition, which gets underway on Saturday, is bereft of some of the continent's top names.
For while Ivory Coast captain Drogba and the Toure brothers, Kolo and Yaya, and company head for South Africa, the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Demba Ba and Papiss Demba Cisse are missing out, forced to watch the action on TV.
Ba and Cisse failed to join the party when Senegal were kicked out of this year's tournament by the organizers, the African Football Confederation, as punishment for crowd trouble which flared up at their qualifier against Ivory Coast.
Senegal's disqualification must have been greeted with quiet relief at the pair's respective Premier League clubs.
Ba, who moved from Newcastle United to Chelsea in this month's transfer window, is one of the deadliest strikers in the league and made an immediate impact for Chelsea when scoring twice in their 5-1 FA Cup third-round triumph at Southampton.
At Newcastle, the 27-year-old forward's prowess helped lift the Magpies to fifth place last season.
While sorry to see Ba head to London, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew still has a Senegalese ace up his sleeve in the shape of Cisse.
He joined Newcastle on a £10 million (US$16,01 million) deal from German Bundesliga outfit SC Freiburg and has proved a major hit, scoring 13 goals last term.
While the Africa Cup showcases the cream of the continent's abundant talent, joining Ba and Cisse on the absentee list is one of Africa's biggest names, in the shape of Eto'o.
The 31-year-old is Africa's most decorated player, after being voted African Footballer of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2010.
After standout spells at Barcelona and Inter, he is currently one of the highest-paid soccer players in the world, with a reported weekly pay packet of about £350,000 (US$560,410) at Russian big-spenders Anzhi Makhachkala.
With three World Cups and six Nations Cups under his belt, the Cameroon captain and his team will be sorely missed.
Cameroon's shock defeat to Cape Verde in the qualifier also robs this year's Cup of Nations of talented midfielder Alex Song, who moved to Barcelona from Arsenal in August last year.
He made a name for himself at the 2008 Cup of Nations in Ghana when he was selected for the team of the tournament, an honor he also picked up three years ago.
Like last year, the former continental kings, Egypt, have once again been excluded from the feast of African soccer.
The Pharaohs have suffered a startling dip in fortune since rattling off three consecutive titles in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
Their bid to qualify for this year, against the somber backdrop of the Port Said stadium disaster in February last year which cost the lives of 74 people, came to a premature end with a first-round 4-3 defeat to the Central African Republic.
Their absence deprives the Cup of Nations of such Egyptian luminaries as goalkeeper Esaam al-Hadary, defender Wael Gomaa and midfielder Mohamed Abou Trika.
Of the teams who qualified, Ghana will have to do without the services of Olympique de Marseille's star midfielder, Andrew Ayew, and striker Yahaya Mohamed, who are both injured.
Morocco's Queens Park Rangers midfielder Adel Taarabt, Arsenal's striker Marouane Chamakh, on loan to West Ham United, and Qatar-based midfielder Houssine Kharja all failed to make the Atlas Lions' squad.

December finished cold in Illinois
Send a link to a friend
[January 09, 2014]
CHAMPAIGN — In December, the
statewide average temperature of 25.5 degrees was 4.4 degrees below
average, making it the 20th-coldest December on record since 1895.
However, it is far short of the record coldest December of 1983,
when the statewide average temperature was only 17.1 degrees, 8.4
degrees colder than this December. This information comes from Jim
Angel, state climatologist with the Illinois State Water Survey,
Prairie Research Institute, University of Illinois.
For December, the heaviest snowfall totals
were in northern Illinois and southern Illinois and were in the 10-
to 15-inch range. All of Illinois was above average on snowfall for
the month. The highest departures were in southern Illinois, since
December snowfall is typically much less in that region.
The statewide precipitation was 2.5 inches, which is slightly
below average. The precipitation varied widely across the state,
however. Conditions were very dry across northern and central
Illinois, but much wetter in southern Illinois. In fact, the dry
conditions in December persisted throughout much of the Midwest,
except along the Ohio River.

"It was disappointing that both November and December were so
dry for Illinois," Angel said. "As a result, stream flows and
lake levels were below where they should be for this time of
Several U.S. Geological Survey gauges across the central part of
the state are at less than 25 percent of their Jan. 1 stream flow

For the last year, Republicans have worked, assiduously and effectively, to derail the Democrats' legislative agenda. This, in fact, was a constant in Axelrod's remarks. "They made a decision they were going to sit it out and hope that we failed, that the country failed." It's been an inarguable success for the Republican Party. Health-care reform is on life support. Republicans just won a Senate seat in Massachusetts. Election experts are beginning to talk about a potential Republican takeover in November. There is no case to be made that the GOP is in a worse position than a year ago. ~Ezra Klein
It occurs to me that the arguments for recent GOP successes are rather like Republican arguments concerning our wars abroad. Bear with me. What I mean is that Republicans have been treating temporary, tactical political victories as if they were far more significant, strategic victories, when, in fact, they have no political strategy worth mentioning. This is how many Republican hawks have approached problems in Iraq and Afghanistan. Especially in Iraq, the strategy has always been unclear, unrealistic or even non-existent, so there is great emphasis on finding tactics that "work" to make a basically incoherent policy seem successful on the surface.
The Republican glorification of the "surge" is a case in point. A change in tactics was widely hailed on the right not only as a "new strategy," which showed that the people saying this did not understand what strategy was, but most Republicans took it to be a vindication of the entire war. Tactical success later matters more to them than the strategic folly they committed earlier. It is almost as if resisting Obama tooth and nail counts for more to them than the utter failure of their time in government, and they fully expect to be rewarded with a new chance at governing on account of their blocking maneuvers. As time goes on, however, the limits of this approach become clear. Having no understanding of strategy and no definition of the long-term goals to be achieved, they are ultimately not going to succeed in any remotely enduring way. Tactical victories simply delay the final reckoning and prevent the recognition that the policy or agenda is bankrupt and useless.
So Klein is right that as far as short-term, tactical success is concerned the last few months have been very good for the GOP. However, nothing could be worse for the GOP than the illusion of success under present circumstances. Worse than learning nothing from the last two elections, the GOP has learned the wrong things. Republicans made up a self-serving story that the public turned against them because of excessive spending. This permitted them to ignore the real reasons for their defeats. Aggressive foreign policy and loose monetary policy, among other things, remain as sacrosanct and beyond reproach in the GOP as they were in the early Bush years. Not recognizing their past errors, the GOP will make them again and again in the future, and they will attempt to cover these mistakes with temporary, tactical solutions that simply put off the consequences of their terrible decisions until someone else is in office. They will then exploit the situation as much as they possibly can, pinning the blame for their errors on their hapless inheritors and hoping that the latter are so pitiful that they retreat into yet another defensive crouch.
Is the GOP in a worse position than a year ago? On the surface, no, it isn't. Once we get past the surface, however, the same stagnant, intellectually bankrupt, unimaginative party that brought our country to its current predicament is still there and has not changed in any meaningful way in the last three years. Why would it? The party's leaders have no clue, its pundits are reveling in the luxury of opposition, and its rank-and-file has been whipped into such a state of agitation over their own impotence that they cannot see that they are led by people who will ignore and abuse them the moment they are no longer needed to win elections. It may seem that the GOP has derailed the majority's agenda, but in reality it is the GOP that went off the rails long ago and has yet to begin to recover.

"...fascists divide themselves into two categories: fascists and antifascists" Ennio Flaiano
I used in on Sunday. Still awaiting a response.
I used it the moment the offered it, I requested my money back but, I still do not have it or any sign I ever will.
I just wonder, if Russell collected last year, the money for all the work and refunds he will be honoring this year; what is he going to use for cash flow? Is he coming up with a new way to bring money into his pocket?
I hope he does not change his name to Robert Bernard Madoff Russell in order to honor his mentor and role model for business.
Maybe they figured out how to sell queens to those folks that ship us the blue-painted green drums of honey from China....might help the trade (im)balance some, too, and they could become national heroes.
Duh, my thought's are that he'll use anyone's orders and payment this year that hasn't read these reviews for his cash flow. No doubt there will be other weather related issues this spring and we'll all see the cycle cycle over again. He's found a great way to use pay-pal for payment. You can't dispute the charges after so many days and he keeps the money and doesn't answer the phone. Don't order unless you can pick them up, or why even bother with this outfit?? Am I still disgusted, yes!

I'll just "re-share" my experience from last year and say nothing else.
Ordered queens. Was told a ship date. Did not come that date after readying splits. After numerous emails and a couple of splits having laying workers( did all I could do to prevent), queens showed up over a month later. 1 queen dead on arrival. All other queens dead one week after release. Once I posted my experience, RA "supporters" belittle me saying I don't know how to release queens properly. For the record, this was the first time in many years that I've had a queen rejected. It's one thing to have A SINGLE queen rejected. It's another to have EVERY queen from a single producer rejected. Was promised at least a replacement queen for the DOA. Never saw her. While I wasn't out the sometimes thousands of $$ that others have been, every dime I make and paid was valuable.
Just tell folks to avoid the RA outfit, website, or anything they do....
Maybe the posters here who lost money and have no other recourse could do a thread with poll to find out how many people here lost money, how much and then determine if there are enough to look at hiring a lawyer to recoup the losses for the group if the amount is enough and if there are assests. Then through PMing a central "elected" individual they could communicate further and share information. The Power of Beesource as it was. At the very least a letter from a lawyer - what does that cost - $50 - $100 - might get your issues to the top of the pile in a hurry. Did anyone mail a check? Doesn't that qualify for postal fraud? Intended fraud or not this obviously is affecting a large number of people. Just some thoughts.
I know there are a lot of disappointed people, I'm one of them. I'm only waiting on a nuc so my exposure is a bit less then some of the others. I have been told that I will receive my nuc this spring. I think the best thing for me to do is give them the chance.
the doc, I believe the Russell website *IS* still taking orders. I went there a few days ago and managed to get all the way through to a paypal screen where all I had to do would have been "click" to send them payment. I would say that that is "taking orders". As I recall, though, they have removed production queens and are only listing breeder queens in the $100^ range...so a minimum invoice would be $100. The best that I can tell the transaction would have completed.
There are two possibilities with Robert Russell. Either he is a crook or he isn't a crook...simple black and white. If he isn't a crook then one of the better courses of action would be to ease up on demands and allow him to work his way out of the hole that he has found himself in (whether from his doings or others' doings). Basically, as some of you have mentioned, give him a chance to work it out. On the other hand, if he is indeed a crook with no intention of reimbursing or making right the debts that he owes then hesitating on seeking legal remedies is hurting your chances of recouping your money. These are decisions and choices that each of you will make, one way or the other.
I wish Robert Russell no ill will, instead I wish him good fortune and an honest conscience so that he can and will settle his accounts with the people to which he is apparently indebted.
ah ok my bad thanks for the correction Ed.
No problem, doc, just thought I'd pass on what I saw. I looked while I was posting my post and saw that they still have those breeder queens listed. There were a few things listed (nucs maybe) that linked off to some of the sub-producers, though.
Best wishes,
My thoughts are I will try RA again right after Betterbee. Buy local. Tony
Rob Hughes promptly replied to my pm placed on the Russel site. He said that the nucs promised for this Spring should be ready the first week of April. He indicated that with the weather we are having and for the single nuc owed me I may be able to pick it up early. So far so good, I appreciated the update and look forward to getting my bees.
I am not interested in defending anyone in this arguement but I see myself as having two options. The first option is to be civil and give them the opportunity to fill my order from last year. The second option is to be angry and quit trying to work with them. The first option works sometimes, the second option never seems to work, for me at least.
We are having a tremendous spring down here for bees and if our problems can be resolved the next couple of months is probably when it will happen.
I'm just getting up to speed on this topic. I have two Moonbeam queens on order with Russell Nebraska - so what the bottom line, am I going to get my queens or not?

Hearts manager Robbie Neilson is reminding all who will listen that scoring goals is tough. But even he could not have expected it to prove just as tricky as it has for his Tynecastle strikeforce.
While others in the squad have been weighing in, generating five wins and two draws in their opening ten games of the Premiership campaign, the goal return from the club's four main strikers has been less than sensational.
The public refrain is that things will turn, ideally, Neilson says, today, away to Inverness, whom they skelped 5-1 in Gorgie. He adds that the players concerned are possessed of too much quality not to start contributing. But, after they drew another blank to help Kilmarnock to victory on Wednesday, the Hearts boss was asked when he would start to fret that more was not being made of the chances he believes are still being created.
"You start worrying when you lose games," he answered.
Having lost in midweek, the fans are worried and for all his public statements of support the Hearts boss must be growing increasingly frustrated by strikers who have amassed fewer goals between them than the club's right-back, Callum Paterson, has mustered on his own.
There has been one apiece for Bjorn Johnsen, Conor Sammon and Tony Watt – all of whom had opportunities to at least double their individual tallies at Rugby Park, all of whom passed them up – while Robbie Muirhead has yet to get off the mark.
"The hardest thing in football is to score goals," said Neilson. "That's why strikers get the most money. It's hard to put the ball in the net. Everyone can say 'you should score that goal' or 'you should score that goal'. They are very, very good players. They are just going through a period just now where we are not scoring goals. The biggest worry would be if we were not creating. We are creating and over the course of the season I expect the goals to start coming in from the whole team, but especially the strikers."
In four of the five games where points have been dropped this term, the team has come up empty in front of goal, something that is giving rivals hope and has left Hearts in fourth, when they had planned to move to second if the result had gone their way in Ayrshire. Had Watt made more of a ball in to him, at the back post, in the first few minutes, the outcome could have been different.
"Tony is a top player. That's the reason we brought him here and it's the reason he has been in the Scotland set-up," added Neilson. "People go through sticky patches and it's important we try to stay focused, try to keep them confident. If players aren't confident they don't get into these areas or make the runs into the box, they try to stay out of the way. The players are confident and, yes, they would like to score more goals but they are quality players and those goals will come."
But Neilson is envisaging a selection shake-up today as the team as a whole tries to find a way to be more incisive and adaptable against those rivals setting themselves up to stifle the capital side.
"Even before the game on Wednesday, I had ideas about what I was going to change," said Neilson. "It's such a quick turnaround. We've got two games in three days with travelling as well. So there will be some changes but not on the back of Wednesday."

First person view
First-person view is a viewpoint as seen directly from the eyes of the player character. The feature has seen usage in Grand Theft Auto III and later (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto Advance and limited in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which top-down perspective does not allow true first-person view).
With the advent of improved 3D graphics and detailing, first-person view was introduced in Grand Theft Auto III in two forms, the ability to look around in first person view, as well as the ability to aim a weapon.
First-person aiming with a gun is crucial, particularly for sniper rifles, allowing the player to accurately aim and shoot at targets from afar, while avoiding the use of an auto-aim. Similarly, certain assault rifles (i.e. the M16/M4 and Ruger) and rocket launchers allow the player to aim in first person view as they hold the aiming button or key. Similarly, the camera introduced in GTA Vice City allows the player to take pictures from a first-person viewpoint. First-person view for assault rifles was eliminated in favor of a over-the-shoulder aiming system in GTA San Andreas, but the feature was retained for other weapons.
Standard first person view was also available in GTA III and GTA Vice City when the player is on foot. By moving the right analog stick in console versions or pressing appropriate directional keys in the PC version (only if the control scheme is set to "classic"), players can look around from the player character's position. Like first person aiming for assault rifles, this feature was removed in favor of a camera that rotates around the player. For GTA IV, however, the player's camera phone can be used to look around in a first-person view.
The hood view is the closest viewpoint to a first-person view inside a vehicle since GTA III (again, with the exception of GTA Advance and GTA Chinatown Wars).

Zend Technologies is providing more details on the construction and operation of phpcloud.com, the company's technology platform and partner ecosystem for cloud-based PHP application development and delivery. Zend cofounders Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski have been speaking at the annual ZendCon user conference to explain how phpcloud.com vies to bring together an open technology platform and a partner ecosystem that will offer a smarter way of working in the cloud.
Zend is collaborating with industry-leading partners who are committed to supporting deployment of cloud-ready apps running on the Zend Application Fabric. Joining Zend in cloud-focused keynote presentations at ZendCon will be Amazon Web Services, IBM, Rackspace, Red Hat, and RightScale.
According to Zend, with phpcloud.com, PHP developers can experience the power of an iterative development environment and an automated, massively scalable production environment, with the freedom to deploy on any cloud. Within this new cloud offering is the Zend Application Fabric, which exists to provide an open, elastic platform with everything needed to successfully run and scale business-critical PHP applications on public and private cloud infrastructures.
Streamlining development, testing, and deployment processes saves time and helps improve application quality. Auto-scaling leverages the cloud's elastic nature to maintain high availability despite fluctuating and unpredictable demand. Cross-cloud portability provides freedom of choice to deploy to leading cloud infrastructures, including Amazon Web Services, IBM SmartCloud, Rackspace, and Red Hat — as well as for deployment on-premise. The ability to optimize performance helps ensure that modern web applications meet users' high expectations for responsiveness.
Zend Developer Cloud provides both a free developer sandbox that is said to enable developer productivity and "deep application insight" tools such as code tracing that enable real-time debugging and problem resolution. Zend Developer Cloud also offers collaborative capabilities, making it easy for developers to share source code files, show work in progress to stakeholders, and team up productively on large-scale joint development projects.
ZendCon attendees are also the first to preview new cloud capabilities in Zend Framework, the leading application development framework for PHP applications. Zend Framework 2.0 will include a new version of SimpleCloud API, featuring the ability to manipulate cloud server instances on Amazon EC2, RackSpace, Windows Azure, and GoGrid. Zend Framework's Model-View-Controller (MVC) layer has been rearchitected to deliver significant advances in both performance and flexibility. In addition, a new event system enables integration with Zend Framework workflows and provides flexible workflows in enterprise applications.

When firm behaves badly, whole industry may suffer
When firm behaves badly, whole industry may suffer
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The announcement of a firm's misconduct can have a negative effect on the value of other public firms in the same industry due to decreased investor confidence, according to Penn State Smeal College of Business researchers.
Srikanth Paruchuri and Vilmos Misangyi, both associate professors of management and organization, investigated the contaminating effects of one firm's misconduct on "bystander firms" or firms in the same industry that have not been accused of wrongdoing.
"When one firm reveals financial misconduct, a generalization of culpability ensues such that investors worry that all firms in the same industry category as the misconduct firm are also likely to have engaged in similar misconduct," the researchers wrote in reporting their findings in a forthcoming issue of the Academy of Management Journal.
Paruchuri and Misangyi also found that more familiar firms generate a stronger association with bystander firms among investors' perceptions. In other words, bystander firms are more negatively valued based on another firm's misconduct if the offending firm is larger, and therefore more familiar to the investor.
"In the context of investor perceptions of financial misconduct, investors will see those perpetrator firms with which they are familiar as being representative of the industry as a whole, and this familiarity therefore makes the culpability of the perpetrator more potent for generalization," the researchers wrote.

Wild, Lightning clash in Tampa
(SportsNetwork.com) - Martin St. Louis reached a milestone with Tampa Bay in their most recent victory, but was left limping by game's end.
The Lightning could be without their captain on Thursday night when they resume their homestand against the Minnesota Wild.
St. Louis logged three points in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings, scoring once while adding two assists. He surpassed 900 career points with the Lightning franchise and is second in the NHL this season with 10 points.
The 38-year-old, though, blocked a shot in the third period and though he finished the game, St. Louis did not practice on Wednesday and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
"From all indications, it is nothing that is alarmingly serious. But I don't know," said Bolts head coach Jon Cooper.
Tampa Bay did recall forward Brett Connolly, the sixth overall pick of the 2010 draft, from Syracuse of the American Hockey League yesterday.
Should St. Louis be unable to play, the Lightning will try to keep up their recent scoring surge that has seen them pot 16 goals over the past three games. Ryan Malone scored 19 seconds into Tuesday's win, while Teddy Purcell and Ondrej Palat also had goals.
Ben Bishop improved to 4-0-0 this season after making 30 saves. He has a 1.71 goals against average and .939 save percentage in his four starts.
"I thought our team played real well," Bishop said. "We blocked shots. We kind of talked about that before the game, getting in front of the lanes a little bit more. I thought some big blocks were made in the second."
The Lightning improved to 2-1-0 on their seven-game homestand and have won four of six to start the season.
Bishop has never faced the Wild, while Anders Lindback is 1-0 against them in two games, stopping 37-of-40 shots faced. Lindback has lost both of his starts this season, posting a 4.07 GAA. It is unknown which of the two will start tonight.
The Wild play the third contest of a four-game road trip and had a three-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with a 4-1 setback to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jason Pominville scored Minnesota's lone goal as the club lost its second game in regulation this year despite outshooting Toronto 38-14.
"We can't dwell on it," said Wild head coach Mike Yeo. "When you're getting chances, you're doing good things. When you're doing good things, you'll get rewarded."
With Niklas Backstrom out with a strained knee and Josh Harding having started the previous night's win in Buffalo, Darcy Kuemper made his seventh career NHL appearance. However, he was chased after 32 minutes of action having yielded three goals on seven shots faced.
Harding stopped all six shots he faced in relief and is likely to make his first ever appearance versus the Lightning tonight. There is a chance that Backstrom, who is back practicing, could return as the backup.
Defenseman Keith Ballard is questionable to return to action after sitting out Tuesday's game. He had taken a puck to the face in Monday's win.
The Wild have won five of their last seven against the Lightning both overall and in Tampa. The clubs last met on Nov. 28, 2011 in Minnesota, a 3-1 Wild victory.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is feeling pretty optimistic these days, saying Tuesday that global growth continues to strengthen this year and next, with investment and trade rising and fiscal stimulus in the U.S. and Germany providing an extra tailwind. But, like Business Roundtable, the OECD is concerned about potential trade disputes that could damage "the rules-based international trading system" and drag on growth.
In an initial assessment of the U.S. tax overhaul, the OECD said it expects changes in fiscal policy to increase GDP growth by between ½ and ¾ percent in 2018 and 2019. More broadly, the OECD said that "supportive fiscal measures" enacted in the last few years in many of its 35 member nations have boosted growth rates around the world. At the same time, the OECD warned against "excessively pro-cyclical" fiscal policies and called upon policymakers to "ensure that increases in incomes and living standards are shared more widely."
The OECD report included a chart illustrating the "fiscal stance" of the G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) since 2000, which indicates that fiscal conditions have eased in the developed nations over the last seven years. But as Adam Tooze, a historian at Columbia University, noted, the chart makes it clear that the G7 nations tightened fiscal conditions in 2011 as the global economy was still recovering, a textbook example of "excessively pro-cyclical" policies that likely contributed to the sluggish recovery in the ensuing years. Tooze's takeaway – "Peak global austerity was 2011 - spectacularly ill-timed" – may serve as a warning about just how much damage excessively pro-cyclical fiscal policies can do.

About The Chemical Notebook
The name directly encapsulates what the blog is meant to be. The topic is the chemical industry: those companies such as Dow, ExxonMobil, BASF, and DuPont that are engaged in the chemical transformation of one molecule to another as of part of a manufacturing stream that ultimately results in products suitable for daily use. By "notebook" what is meant is a reporter's notebook. The blog aims to make use of those interesting tidbits of the sort found in a reporter's notebook but might not fit neatly in the print edition of C&EN for one reason or another.
Alex Tullo, senior editor at C&EN's Northeast News Bureau in Edison, N.J., will be The Chemical Notebook's main contributor. Tullo joined C&EN in 1999, and since then has written articles on just about every topic related to the chemical industry. His core area of reporting, however, has been materials and industrial chemicals. He also compiles or helps compile statistical features such as the Top 50 U.S. Chemical Producers, the Global Top 50 Chemical Producers, Women in Industry, World Chemical Outlook, and Facts & Figures. Prior to joining C&EN, Tullo was a senior editor at the Chemical Market Reporter, writing about plastics and coatings. He earned a B.S. in physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1997).
Senior business editor Melody Voith will be another major contributor to the blog.

Representative Diane Black (R-TN), Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) and John Fleming, MD (R-LA) announced that they will introduce the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (HCCRA.)
It is bill number HR 940.
According to Rep Black's website, HR 940, "offers reprieve from ongoing violations of our First Amendment, including full exemption from the Obama Administration's Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate and conscience protection for individuals and health care entities that refuse to provide, pay for, or refer patients to abortion providers because of their deeply-held, reasoned beliefs. HCCRA has 50 original co-sponsors."
Representative Black allowed individuals who have been harmed by the government's attacks on freedom of religion to speak at the press conference announcing this bill. They were:
Cathy Cenzon-DeCarlo, RN – New York State nurse who filed suit after her freedom to serve patients according to her conscience was violated. For more information, click here.
· Susan Elliott, PhD, Director and Professor at Biola University Nursing Department. For more information, click here.
· Christine Ketterhagen, Co-Owner/Board Member of Hercules Industries, Inc.; Andy Newland, President of Hercules Industries; Bill Newland, Chairman of the Board of Hercules Industries. For more information, click here
· Sister Jane Marie Klein, OSF, Chairperson of the Board of Franciscan Alliance, Inc. (in Mishawaka, IN). Franciscan Alliance is a co-plaintiff with the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
Representative Black's website included the following provisions in the Health Care Conscience Act:
HHS Mandate:
Under the health care coverage mandate issued on August 3, 2011, widely known as the HHS mandate, organizations and their managers are now facing potentially ruinous financial penalties for exercising their First Amendment rights, as protected by law. Hobby Lobby, a family business that was denied injunctive relief from the mandate and faces fines of up to $1.3 million dollars a day, unless its owners agree to fund potentially abortion-inducing drugs. If Hobby Lobby is forced to close its doors, some 25,000 jobs nationwide may disappear. The Obama Administration's HHS mandate exemption only includes houses of worship and does not account for the thousands of religious and non-religious affiliated employers that find it a moral hazard to cover sterilization, contraception and potentially abortion-inducing drugs on their employer-based health insurance. Ultimately, the so-called "accommodation" does not protect anyone's religious rights, because all companies and organizations will still be forced to provide insurance coverage that includes services which conflict with their religious convictions. The HCCRA would address this violation of our First Amendment rights by providing a full exemption for all those whose religious beliefs run counter to the Administration's HHS mandate.
Abortion Non-Discrimination:
The HCCRA also protects institutions and individuals from forced or coerced participation in abortion. In recent years there have been several examples of nurses being told they must participate in abortions. There have also been efforts to require Catholic Hospitals to do abortions, and a Catholic social service provider was denied a grant to assist victims of human trafficking on the basis of their pro-life convictions. The HCCRA codifies and clarifies the appropriations provision known as the Hyde‐Weldon conscience clause. This is accomplished by adding the protections for health care entities that refuse to provide, pay for, or refer for abortion to the section of the Public Health Service Act known as the Coats Amendment. It also adds the option of judicial recourse for victims whose rights have been violated under the HCCRA, Coats, or the conscience clauses known as the Church amendments.

As life expectancies worldwide keep rising, countries around the globe may want to consider lifting the retirement age so they can continue to pay for national pension plans, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in a report.
Life expectancy at birth is expected to rise by more than seven years in developed economies over the next 50 years, the OECD says. The long-term retirement age in half of all OECD countries will be 65, while in 14 countries it is expected to range from 67 to 69. Increases in retirement ages are under way or planned in 28 of the 34 OECD countries, says the group's Pensions Outlook 2012, published on June 11.
"Breaking down the barriers that stop older people from working beyond traditional retirement ages will be a necessity to ensure that our children and grandchildren can enjoy an adequate pension at the end of their working life," said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría in a statement. "Though these reforms can sometimes be unpopular and painful, at this time of tight public finances and limited scope for fiscal and monetary policy, these reforms can also serve to boost much needed growth in aging economies."
Headquartered in Paris, the OECD provides a forum for countries around the world to compare policies and identify best practices.
Eurozone countries are already coming face to face with the stark realities of retirement ages versus life expectancy, writes Financial Times columnist Gideon Rachman as he considers a proposal for a Europe-wide bank deposit insurance scheme. "As a senior Dutch politician who shares the German view, puts it: 'We cannot push through a banking union when the French have just cut their retirement age to 60 and we have raised ours to 67,'" Rachman writes.
In countries including the U.S., Germany, Ireland, South Korea and Japan, large segments of the population can expect a major drop in income upon retirement because public pensions are relatively low and private pensions voluntary.
The OECD urges governments to formally link retirement ages to life expectancy, as Denmark and Italy have done, and to make greater efforts to promote private pensions.
"However, making private pensions compulsory is not necessarily the answer for every country," the OECD says. According to the report, such action could unfairly affect low earners and be perceived as an additional tax. It views auto-enrollment schemes, such as those used in U.S. 401(k) plans, as a suitable alternative.
