Allan began his musical career as a teenager in England, during the 60's, playing at the same venues in Liverpool as The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Searchers. He migrated to Australia in 1964 and soon formed a band called The Road Runners, playing with a typical Mersey Sound. They soon became a very popular band in South Australia and supported many visiting national and international artists, such as John Farnham, Marcia Hines and Freddy and the Dreamers. Swapping the old Mersey Sound for a country twang in the mid 90's proved to be a wise career move for Allan and in recent years he has become a successful solo country music artist, providing him with the opportunity to travel both interstate and overseas. He regulary features at Festivals and events in many states, and especially Tasmania which he tours twice yearly. He also features in festivals in New Zealand. Allan is a very professional performer with a dynamic voice and energetic stage presence who loves to entertain, which is reflected in his performances. To date he has three albums, "The Joker's Wild", "Guitar Man" and his latest, "Part Time Dreamer"

30.07.2014 – Updated waste tyre regulations and recycling Leave a comment
Better management of waste tyres and increased appropriate tyre recycling is a priority agenda item for Government, industry and environment groups with a raft of new measures being implemented.
The New South Wales and Victorian Governments have both flagged a tightening on sites that receive and stockpile waste tyres. The Boomerang Alliance and the Australian Tyre Recyclers Association are continuing their push to raise recycling standards and increase operators' transparency and accountability.
On Friday 25 July the NSW EPA and Boomerang Alliance hosted a summit to hear the regulators proposed response to this long running environmental, economic and community problem.
The NSW EPA informed the audience that, among other measures, it will tighten site licensing requirements. Whereas previously sites storing 50 tonnes or more of waste tyres needed a licence, in the future it will be required for sites storing 5 tonnes or more. See the draft regulations here http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/resources/waste/140368WasteRISReg.pdf
In May 2014 the Victorian Government announced tighter rules for the storage of waste tyres including new fire control measures. The rules increase compliance requirements for sites storing more than 40 tonnes of waste tyres. See the interim policy at http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/business-and-industry/waste-guidance/storage-of-waste-tyres-in-victoria
The NSW summit was told there is well in excess of 30 million end-of-life or waste tyres disposed of in Australia every year and that with vehicle registrations increasing at about 2% a year it will be a growing problem.
23.07.2014 – New recycling target Leave a comment
Australia's National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) enters a new phase with a mandated 90% material recovery target coming into force from July 1.
To facilitate reporting and accountability, the Australian Government Department of Environment has introduced a new methodology to clarify how material recovery will be measured and reported against the NTCRS.
The Department, with support from Equilibrium, has developed a methodology based on chain-of-custody tracking that traces materials from initial recycling through to downstream processes into useable materials and also provides guidance to track materials sent to landfill in a particular year.
The methodology acknowledges that arrangements and their recycling service providers may use a range of different systems for recycling and material recovery and materials may be handled by more than one recycler before being processed, but collection arrangements must still be able to track and report on the full recycling process undertaken even where multiple recyclers are involved.
11.10.2013 – Back to Earth Leave a comment
The Victorian Government has launched the Back to Earth Initiative to improve resource recovery of organics. Back to Earth Initiative encourages appropriate use of Council green waste bins and the recycling of green waste to reduce the amount currently sent to landfill.
The initiative has been developed by the Metropolitan Waste Management Group (MWMG) in conjunction with eleven councils in Melbourne's north and west: Banyule, Brimbank, Darebin, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley, Moreland, Nillumbik and Wyndham. It complements new organics processing facilities that will serve communities in the participating councils. MWMG is the Victorian Government body responsible for managing municipal solid waste across metropolitan Melbourne.
On Thursday (10 October 2013) Veolia opened its new organics processing facility at Bulla in Melbourne's north which will process green waste from the participating Councils. The facility was built as part of the Northern and Western Organics Processing Contract and is the first step in creating a new wave of sustainable resource recovery facilities to service metropolitan Melbourne.
The Northern and Western Organics Processing Contract unlocks around $30 million of industry investment in infrastructure, and around $200 million in local government operating expenditure over the 15 year contract. It will generate dozens of ongoing employment opportunities and up to a hundred jobs during the construction.
26.6.2013 – Busting energy saving claims. What you should be doing to save energy! Leave a comment
Claims relating to energy saving products may not always be easily achievable. With energy costs continuously increasing the energy efficiency product market is becoming more and more crowded with suppliers and the one thing they all have in common is that they promise to start saving you money straight away.
Sure there may be some truth to the claims generally but do they really know your business and the way your store equipment and operations depend on each other.

9.5.2013 – Sustainable Australia Report released Leave a comment
The Sustainable Australia Report 2013 from the National Sustainability Council was released today presenting a framework for guiding progress that also balances competing interests. However the report itself may present a risk in achieving that goal. See the report here http://www.environment.gov.au/sustainability/measuring/council.html
The report seeks to establish a framework better defining sustainability and putting forward key indicators across social and human capital, natural capital and economic capital. It is largely presented as a benchmark report to be refined and reported against over time, and with the Sustainable AUstralia Report due in 2015.
Its 266 pages will take time to fully digest and that is a risk. As with some State-of-the-Environment reports, when such documents are too complex and large to be accessible and contain timely data, they can be overwhelming.
7.5.2013 – ABC Online and The Drum Leave a comment
Equilibrium's work assisting local and State Government to more fully understand the potential benefits and costs of container deposits has been included as part of an article published on ABC Online and The Drum. See http://www.abc.net.au/environment/articles/2013/05/06/3751446.htm and http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4672338.html
The article by Equilibrium's Nick Harford seeks to expand awareness of the complexity of the issue and the degrees of potentially positive and negative impacts that are best understood to achieve optimal environmental and financial outcomes.

Choosing that perfect romantic gift for the man in your life can often be a daunting task. One of the reasons that gifts can often "flop" is because the person doing the giving is shopping for themselves instead of the recipient. It is important to remember that your significant other may not share your taste in things such as movies, art, literature or sports. Keep their specific likes and dislikes in mind when shopping for that perfect romantic gift.
Couple's Massage
A couple's massage is a great way for both of you to enjoy a treat. They are relaxing and usually inexpensive, depending on the spa you choose. Contact some spas and salons in your area to get an idea of what they offer and the price range.
Boudoir Shots
Have a sexy photo taken of you in your favorite lingerie and then have it framed. Find a reputable photographer in your area who takes boudoir shots and set up an appointment to discuss the type of photo you want, prices, backgrounds and props.
Pick out a new sexy scent for the man in your life that you can also enjoy every time he wears it. Make sure you take his tastes into consideration. For example, don't chose a musky scent if he dislikes the smell of musk.
Engraved Jewelry
A pair of engraved cuff links or an elegant engraved pocket watch can give your man a sexy touch of class, and he can think of you every time he gets dressed up.
A toast with bubbly champagne is a great romantic gift, and you both can enjoy cocktails for two. Add a pair of crystal champagne glasses and some chocolate-covered strawberries to the mix, and you have the perfect romantic treat.
Chocolate has long been credited as an aphrodisiac because it is both sweet and sexy. Gourmet chocolates are a great romantic gift and can usually be found at most candy shops, bakeries or specialty gourmet stores.
Cashmere Sweater or Scarf
Cashmere material is both soft, silky and luxurious to wear. Buy your man a soft comfortable cashmere sweater or scarf and then apply just a tiny bit of your favorite perfume to the item so he can think of you every time he wears it.
Digital Photo Frame
Buy a digital photo frame and fill it with pictures of the two of you together. He can keep this in his office or next to his bed as a reminder of all the romantic times you have had together.
Dinner Feservations
Make a surprise dinner reservation at a romantic restaurant just for the two of you. Several restaurants even have their menus online so you can be sure to choose one that serves his favorite food. For an added romantic touch, you can order his favorite bottle of wine.
Romantic Trips
Planning a romantic trip just for the two of you is the ultimate romantic gift. This can range from a weekend getaway to an entire vacation. Several resorts offer adult-only packages and accommodations. Travel agents can also be helpful in planning extracurricular activities based on his likes and dislikes.

ERDOGAN was aware that, later that night, a team of the dissenters would come to capture him
- ERDOGAN asked his friend Serkan YAZICI to invite the media representatives to the Villa. He also said that an assassination team would be coming to the villa[1].
- ERDOGAN continued to stay at the villa until midnight after receiving the call from FIDAN which he persistently denies.
- ERDOGAN was aware that, later that night, a team of the dissenters would come to capture him. His preference not to change his location indicates that he could track the movements of that team. Otherwise, not changing his location to increase his personal safety is strange.
- After Army Chief Gen COLAK's departure, Gen GULER, according to his second testimony dated 07 October 2016[2], went back to his office to continue his daily routine paperwork, leaving AKAR and FIDAN behind.
- GULER's statement about returning to routine paperwork amid an unusual and risky situation is unusual.
- What AKAR and FIDAN talked or planned during the next one hour and forty minutes is not known.
Army Aviation School
- Gen COLAK arrived at Army Aviation School, completed a thorough inspection, and found nothing abnormal. Meanwhile, he often called Gen AKAR to report his findings.
- The meeting at TGS HQ about "Terrorism" ceased.
- According to his testimony, Maj Gen AKSAKALLI learned that AKAR and his deputy had a meeting with FIDAN at the HQ and suspected something abnormal.
- After the meeting, he tried to talk to Gen GULER, his immediate commander in the chain, but could not talk because he was busy. Then he left to join a wedding ceremony in Ankara.
- Although GULER testified that he returned to office for routine paperwork, AKSAKALLI testified that he was unable to talk to Gen GULER because he was busy.
- AKSAKALLI's rush for participation for a wedding ceremony instead of insisting on meeting GULER amid coup allegations at the TGS is strange.
- Turkish Air Force Operations Center called and informed the Chief of Turkish Air Force Gen Abidin UNAL about the ban on military flights in Turkey. UNAL did not immediately react to this vital information and preferred to stay at the wedding ceremony with 24 Air Force Generals.
- UNAL, at his first testimony, did not mention his awareness of the military flight ban. Days later, he updated his testimony and stated that he was informed about the flight ban around 19:00. According to his testimony, he tried to reach AKAR and GULER but learned that they were in a meeting. UNAL could never talk to AKAR again.
- UNAL's not insisting on talking with AKAR or GULER is unusual.
- The Commander of the Air Operations Command, Lt Gen Mehmet SANVER advised UNAL to send a Lieutenant General to Eskişehir Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) to increase their awareness and control the situation in the air., UNAL denied the request initially.
- UNAL's denial to send a high-ranking general to Eskisehir upfront is strange.
- Additionally, UNAL and Lt Gen Nihat KOKMEN did not bring their wives to this important wedding of the second high-ranking official in the Air Force. KOKMEN's wife was in Belgium, on vacation with her friends.
- The absence of UNAL's and KOKMEN's wives at the wedding is unusual.
- Furthermore, Air Force Lt Gen Yilmaz OZKAYA and his wife did not participate in the wedding either, instead, they were on vacation at a military recreation resort in Marmaris.
- OZKAYA later helped ERDOGAN's safe departure from Dalaman and intervened in the dissenters' operation against ERDOGAN.
- OZKAYA's absence at the wedding is unusual.
- Gen AKAR called Lt Gen Metin GURAK, the Commander of Ankara Garrison, and ordered him to go swiftly to the Armored Division located at Etimesgut, Ankara to ensure no tanks or military vehicles were allowed to leave the unit.
- AKAR also ordered him later to proceed to the Army Aviation Command to join the Army Chief for inspection.
- The TGS Operations Center called the Prime Minister's Coordination Center and the State Information Coordination Center to tell the cessation and prohibition of military flights over Turkey.
- Despite his Coordination Center was informed, Prime Minister YILDIRIM insists that he was not informed by anybody until later that night until the tanks rolled on the streets.
- YILDIRIM's statement is strange.
- The Chief of the Turkish Navy ADM Bulent BOSTANOGLU was attending another wedding in Cinar Hotel, located at Yesilkoy, Istanbul.
- BOSTANOGLU testified that he was not informed by AKAR or GULER about the measures taken.
- AKAR's and GULER's failure to call the Chiefs of Navy, Air and Gendarmerie Service Chiefs is unusual.
Air Force HQ
- At Air Force HQ's request, TGS HQ partially lifted the military flight ban for operational flights at the Syrian border and for an air display in Antalya.
- Having spent around two and a half hours with AKAR and GULER, FIDAN left TGS HQ.
- FIDAN's departure was allegedly a kick-off signal to trigger dissenters' activities.
Akinci Airbase
- 33 Special Operations personnel left Akinci Base by a bus towards TGS HQ. These alleged dissenters later detained several Generals at TGS HQ and brought them to AKINCI.
- FIDAN's presence at the HQ allegedly put time pressure on the dissenters, by giving them an impression that ERDOGAN and FIDAN had some awareness of their plan.

Also, I was considering reading the books..or at least the first one. 700-odd pages is a bit intimidating but I'd love to see how it compares to the show.
So is there a legit way to pay to watch this online somewhere? I don't have any TV subscription anymore so I can't use that HBOGo thing.
Meh, *insert rant about the stupidity of companies not giving customers a way to give them money*

I'm pretty okay putting down a couple dollars an episode on Mad Men, for example, and would be more than happy to do the same for GoT. I mean, my parents have HBO so I can catch up on the show when I see them so no big deal for me, but if they don't want me to buy individual episodes or let me have a standalone subscription then I'm fine with putting the money elsewhere.
I think they go up right after the episode finishes airing.

It's hard to say where St. Vincent is going to pop up next these days. Chances are, it'll be somewhere that makes us jealous if it's not Dallas. Last we heard from the artist otherwise known as Annie Clark, she was jumping onstage with Taylor Swift in Los Angeles to do some shredding. Now over the weekend she popped up in Marfa, helping out Jenny Lewis on stage at the Trans-Pecos Festival of Music and Love.
This time, she was playing drums. That's right. Well, and some guitar too.
St. Vincent, who celebrated her birthday on Monday, joined Lewis the night before for her headlining slot at the Trans-Pecos Festival. She backed up Lewis for a couple of Lewis' songs, including playing the drums on "Just One of the Guys" and guitar on a new song called "Girl on Girl," before taking the lead on her own "Cheerleader" from 2012's Strange Mercy. The pair then went really old school for a cover of Deee-Lite's "Groove Is in the Heart."
This isn't the first time St. Vincent has popped up in Marfa recently. Earlier this month, she was featured in a short documentary from Nowness in which she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and reflected on her relationship with her home state. She played Dallas back in the spring for a collaboration with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, as well. After a busy 2014 in which she toured behind her Grammy-winning St. Vincent , this year feels like a well-earned chance to kick back and have some fun.
Check out some fan-shot clips of the Trans-Pecos performances below:

Massachusetts has enacted a harassment law that allows victims of the following crimes to obtain a restraining order against the offender that is similar to the current domestic violence restraining orders:
- Stalking
- Harassment, which is defined by the law as "3 or more acts of willful and malicious conduct aimed at a specific person committed with the intent to cause fear, intimidation, abuse or damage to property and that does in fact cause fear, intimidation, abuse or damage to property"
What is the Difference Between a Protective Order Under this Law vs. one Under the Domestic Violence Law?
Domestic violence orders can only be obtained if there is a relationship between the victim and offender, such as a "significant dating relationship" or household relationship, etc. This new law extends those protections to victims who have less or no previous relationship with the offender.
The law now offers similar protections to victims of these crimes by allowing an officer to arrest an offender:
- Whom he or she witnesses or has violated such a restraining order
- Has committed a misdemeanor involving harassment as defined in the law
- Or, has committed assault and battery as defined in Massachusetts General Law chapter 265 section 13A.
What should I do if I am the Victim of any of the Crimes Listed Above?
As with any crime occurring on campus, you can call Public Safety 24 hours a day. An officer will discuss your circumstances, and assist you in obtaining the proper assistance. Officers can help provide connections to medical care, support services, and victim/witness services. Officers can assist you in documenting the circumstances which can aid in obtaining a protection order, filing charges, and otherwise helping you to develop a safety plan. Officers can assist you in applying for a protection order or filing charges if they are appropriate to your situation.

Beginner | 0h 40m | 437 MB | Project Files 78 MB | Software used: Autodesk Maya 2014
Welcome to volume 5 of the Quick Start to Rigging in Maya, a series of specially constructed courses meant to be followed in sequence and interspersed with valuable exercises to reinforce learned concepts.
In this volume, we'll build on the concepts covered in volume 4. We'll start by learning how to clean up and bake character animations, in order to lighten our files. We'll then learn how create corrective targets to refine skin deformations. We'll even learn about geometry caching, and how it can be used to optimize our scenes even further, to make it easier for other artists that will work with our files.
These courses are designed to be taken in sequence so we really encourage you to start with volume 4 before continuing with this section. We also encourage you to take advantage of the assignments that follow each volume. These assignments will allow you to take what you've learned and apply those tools and techniques to your own projects.

A 50mm lens is like a must-have & very important for many photographer. In order to be even considered in the hallowed corridors of professional photography, your 50mm lens is like a passport. But why is that important to have a 50mm lens? Because of its focal length. Yes, the 50mm lens represents more or less the same perspective that the human eye has. So anything shot with a 50mm immediately becomes the same perspective that you have seen it with your naked eye.
But even before you jump to a conclusion and dash for your laptop to order consider this, the format of your camera makes a difference. Digital SLRs comes in two main formats, the full frame and the APS-C. I have deliberately not considered Panasonic's and Olympus's 4/3 system based DSLRs here as they are not that popular any more. So if you have an APS-C sensor powered DSLR the effective angle of view of a 50mm lens will become something like 80mm due to the 1.6x crop factor (for Canon users. Nikon APS-C users will experience a crop factor of 1.5x and a resulting effective focal length of 75mm). So if you do have an APS-C camera don't go for a 50mm. Rather, opt for a 35mm lens which gives a more accurate angle of view. There are, however, some advantages to using a full frame lens on an APS-C DSLR. We shall be discussing that later.
Having said that here are the top reasons to have a 50mm lens
Excellent Image quality – If you want professional image quality at a cheap price this 50 mm lens is one of the best option. In terms of image quality these normal focal prime lenses can beat any kit zoom lens very easily. Just borrow one and compare it yourself. You won't have to be a rocket scientist to notice the differences.
It is light – A 50mm lens is light. Compare the weight of any of the 50mm prime lenses that Nikon currently sells with that of the weight of their 85mm or 100mm primes and you will realize what I am implying here. Your camera bag feels that much lighter when you carry one of these to work.
It is quick & extreme low light performer – The 50mm primes come with some fast maximum apertures. F/1.8 and the f/1.4 lenses allow you to make stunning compositions in some of the weirdest lighting conditions. They also produce better & smoother bokeh than most consumer zooms.
It is cheap – These are prime lenses and one thing about prime lenses is that they are cheap. Cheap, however, does not mean that they are poorly made. Lenses such as the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is one of the best made you will ever come across. It is also one of the cheapest ever and at around $100 is a steal or AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D.
It forces you to move yourself around and position at the right spot because of the lack of zooming power and that in itself is good. Why? Because the luxurious 200-400mm and the likes of it often takes the fun out of photography. You can zoom in, click and zoom back out without ever having to lift your feet off the ground. Where's the fun in that?
They are low-profile – A good thing for some. Street photographers for example would love to go for a lens that gives the proverbial 50mm angle of view and the advantages of a fast maximum aperture.
It gives the same perspective as the human eyes, and we have already discussed that in length so no point in going through it again. One thing, however, I would like to point out is that the 50mm lens works best with a full frame DSLR or MILC (like the Sony Alpha 7 & 7R).

THE inside of the Boat House is proof that appearances can be deceiving.
The mock-Tudor facade on the River Thames masks what is essentially a Wetherspoons-style pub, with Sky Sports on flat screen TVs.
After finding a space in the tiny car park, we sat down indoors.
Despite arriving for Sunday lunch, it was far from busy, although there was a smattering of people sat outside too.
The pub's new menu landed on Tuesday, but I was pleased to see a variety of dishes on offer.
Read also: Country pub is cut above but customer service needs work
An array of starters and sharers were joined by pub classics, burgers, steaks and even fajitas, suggesting the pub tries to be a little different from the norm.
To begin with, we went for two of the more unusual items on the menu: the deep fried four cheese ravioli, served with tangy salsa, pesto dressing and rocket (£5.79) and the halloumi fries, topped with sour cream, fresh tomato salsa and rocket (£5.99).
The halloumi came in a small dish and was crispy on the outside but melted in the middle, which sat nicely with the salsa and sour cream.
The one criticism was the lack of salsa, while ironically the ravioli had a little too much.

Otherwise, the latter made a nice change from your standard pub starter, the flavours blending well and not overpoweringly cheesy.
Once the very attentive staff had taken our empty plates, it was soon onto the main course.
We opted for the vegetarian Sunday roast option, where a beetroot, sweet potato and butternut squash tart replaced the meat (£10.99).
This came with roast potatoes, vegetables, mashed potato, sage and onion stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding - plus, we ordered an extra one for good measure.
As is probably evident, this was a huge portion that both of us needed to take on - and we still did not finish.
Read also: Hotel restaurant is good enough to entice locals
While the pie was very good, the Yorkshires were a little soft and the mashed potato a bit stodgy, while the roast potatoes did not appear to be homemade.
On the other side of the table were my chicken fajitas (£9.79), which was a make-your-own scenario.
A dish of spicy chicken pieces on a bed of mostly peppers and onions came with pots of sour cream, tomato salsa and grated cheese.
Sadly, there were only two half-wraps to pack all this into, but when I did get everything inside, it was lovely.
For me, it summed up the pub: there was plenty to like, but maybe a bit too much going on.

Wheel Alignments
If your truck trailer or bus has incorrectly aligned wheels & axles, your vehicle could suffer from what we call increased rolling resistance. This means the engine and steering components are working harder than they need to be to maintain a constant speed and the end result is an increase in fuel consumption. At Truckrite our aim is getting the job done when it suits you & getting your vehicle back on the road earning its keep as soon as possible.

The annual North East Counties XC Championships took part on Saturday 12th December 2015. On her Twitter account Sunderland Stroller's Ally Dixon said it was "by far the worst conditions I have ever raced in". Morpeth and GB athlete Laura Weightman tweeted "was character building for sure".
The weather conditions worsened as the day progressed from light rain to very heavy snow. Only a small number of Tyndale runners were brave enough to make the journey. Our first finisher of the day was Olivia Milburn (12th) in the U13 Girls. Olivia was followed home by Annie Anderson in 37th and Lucy Thorpe in 43rd.
In the U15 Boys Alex Wood had the second highest Tyndale placing of the day finishing in 6th place. Cameron Grey also had a good run finishing in 18th place. Joe Green completed the team finishing in 58th position. I think Alex and Cameron would both say that Indoor track running has a real appeal at this time of year! In the U15 Girls Keely French finished 23rd, Jasmine Couchman 26th and Bethany Nitsch 35th.
As the conditions worsened the Senior Men took to the course. Andy Green was our only runner. Andy finished in a very commendable 58th (to match son Joe's achievement) place on the, longer than usual, 12km route. After the Senior Mens race the course had taken a real hammering and the conditions were worsening making the last two races of the day even more unpleasant. Kirstie Anderson finished well up the field in 31st place in the Senior Women race in a very competitive race.
The U17 Men were last up. Max Pearson arrived late having left Hexham in the rain, heading down the A68 and very quickly hitting snowy conditions. Having travelled for 30 minutes down the A68 it was apparent that he would never make it on time via that route. A return to Hexham and back along the A69 was the only option. Turning up late may have been an advantage as many of the other U17 Men were shivering in tents when Max arrived. Max ran a better race than he had expected finishing in bronze medal position. He described the race as "quite good fun when the snow was on his back and really unpleasant when it wasn't!"
Many thanks to Clive, Ali and Jaycee Shotton who put the club tent up at 10.30am and took it down at 3.00pm in very unexpected conditions. The club wishes Jaycee a speedy recovery from a broken finger which is in a cast for a few months.
I think all those that made the trip to Sedgefield would agree that NECAA and Sedgefield harriers did a fantastic job in hosting the event and would extend there thanks to all Marshals and Officials standing there all day in freezing and wet conditions.

As usual, please send any questions you have about using SAS or R.
*Not valid in the southern hemisphere.
The forecast for Sydney, Australia is 72 F (22 C) so it is sort of like summer in many places.
Summer here in Massachusetts makes 72 F pleasantly cool, if nothing like winter.
But at least it's not Dallas, where highs have been over 100 F for a solid month and nighttime lows have been in the 80s. Yech.
Hi, Thanks for the great blog.
I am looking for procedures or analyses where the defaults used differ for SAS and R. Hence, the results for the same data would be (at least slightly) different with the default options.
Could anyone kindly provide relevant examples?

How to dye sinamay
Jürgen Steger: Wikimedia Commons
Sinamay, also known as Manila hemp, is crafted by hand from fibres of the abaca tree, a type of banana tree found most commonly in the Philippines. As a natural cellulose fibre, it is best dyed using fibre-reactive dyes, which penetrate the fibres for the most long-lasting colour.
Popular brands of fibre-reactive dye include Procion MX, Dylon Cold Dye and Cibracon F. While the process may seem daunting at first, it is in fact more time-consuming than actually difficult. Weigh and measure carefully, and take your time to attain best results.
All measurements are for one pound of dry fabric, dyed to a medium shade. Adjust the dye recipe to treat more fabric: double it for two pounds, triple it for three pounds, and so on. Use more dye for darker shades and less for lighter tones. Always use enough water and a large enough container to allow fabric to move freely.
Wash your sinamay garment or fabric, removing any starches, coatings or other additives that could interfere with even dyeing. Do not use fabric softener, which coats fabrics for a softer feel.
Put on your protective gloves and your face mask; inhaling dye powder or soda ash could cause respiratory problems.
Prepare your dye powder by adding it to a small amount of water and mixing it thoroughly. If you are using a liquid dye, do not dilute it.
Fill the bucket with hot water. Add salt and dye solution and stir well to dissolve. The salt helps to move the dye molecules from the water into the fibre.
Add your fabric and swish it around in the bucket, saturating it in the dye solution. Rearrange and swish the fabric frequently for the first 15 minutes. Constant movement will help the dye to react evenly across your fabric. After 15 minutes, remove the fabric from the bucket.
Mix the soda ash or washing soda in a small amount of water and then pour the solution into the bucket. Stir the contents of the bucket well, completely combining the ingredients. Add the fabric back into the dye bath and agitate it, ensuring that the fabric absorbs the dye evenly.
Agitate the fabric in the dye bath every few minutes for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on colour intensity desired.
Remove your fabric from the dye bath and rinse it repeatedly in cool water. Work up to warm water and then to hot, watching for the water to run clear.
Soak fabric in soap or detergent and hot water for 30 minutes before washing it in a machine. Stubborn colours may require repeated soap soaks. After washing the fabric, send it through a few more rinse cycles before drying.
Allow the fabric to line-dry or dry it in a machine dryer as usual. If your fabric is stiff, you may rewash with fabric softener or add fabric softener sheets to the dryer.
- If you have a top-loading washing machine, you may use fibre-reactive dyes in it. Consult your dye's label for instructions.
- If you choose a blue dye, double the amount used in the recipe. Blue tones tend to come out paler.
- Clean spilt dye with household bleach. Do not use bleach to remove dye from skin; instead, use a product like Reduran to safely remove staining.
- Look for a product called Synthrapol, which is designed to effectively remove excess dyes. You can use it both before and immediately after dyeing your fabric.
- Always wear protective gloves and a dust mask or respirator when working with dyeing chemicals.
- Any containers, measuring cups, measuring spoons or other equipment used should never be later used for eating or drinking.

"Mr Big's Big Vintage Harley Adventure – Update"
My apologies to my legions of fans out there, but I've been remiss in updating my vintage motorcycle blog and it's time to correct that. In my last entry, I detailed my ability to crash unceremoniously in my driveway. Undeterred, I have been back in the saddle a few times since to better acquaint myself with the old girl.
I must admit that I haven't felt quite ready to get out into real traffic yet. Understand that I live in a suburb of Houston and the traffic, even just outside my neighborhood, is quite demanding. Even on a modern bike, you better have your head on a swivel just to stay upright and out of trouble.
However, my short term plan is to ride to a local dealership and enter the little bike show they usually have in the spring. It will be a good opportunity to show her off and meet some like minded riders interested in vintage motorcycle activities.
One thing I have noticed is that my area of the country is not exactly a hot bed for vintage bikes so there is not much locally to access for knowledge about vintage Harleys. It appears that the biggest concentration remains in the northern states, parts of the east coast including Florida, and the west coast. Take a cruise through the vintage bikes for sale on eBay and you'll see what I mean.
The good news is that the forum here at CAIMAG has been invaluable in accelerating my learning curve in a very short period of time. And I am extremely grateful for all the help I've received because without it, I'd still be staring at this bike with no direction or even a clue as to what I had. Really neat when you think about it, but I have pretty much instant access to advice from vintage motorcycle owners all over the world.
That being said, I've decided on that direction. My earlier blogs detailed my findings of a 1941 WLA Harley motor with pretty much a 1947 WL Harley roller. So I found and purchased a nice set of 1947 WL cases with matching belly numbers and also a correct Linkert M51 carburetor. After I've had an opportunity to ride and show a little more, I plan to tear her down and swap the cases for the correct ones, and go through the bike from stem to stern.
The paint is just ok and needs to be redone, the tank has some rust and needs sealing and I'm sure I'll find some other bits and pieces that will need to be corrected. So when I complete the "restoration" my goal is to have a pretty correct 1947 Harley Davidson WL.
The other tidbit I'd like to share is that I got another wild hair and now I want a sidecar. Would be nice to locate a vintage one that is correct for my bike, but I'm sure they are pretty rare and finding one may be a challenge, but you never know. Again, the classic Harley forum members were a great source for information on sidecars.
I was also made aware of a gentleman in Poland that makes a quality reproduction of the Goulding Litecar, so I may consider something like that down the road. I think it would be neat to take my "kids" for a ride with me. When I mentioned it, they seemed less than enthusiastic but I'm sure they'll come around.

Nice post and good luck with mastering your new old Harley. I bet there are more classic and vintage bike enthusiasts around you than you realize. Get out on yours and ride and they will find you. Sidecars are not all that rare.
10:45 pm@
Good article Mr. Big – thanks as always.
Unfortunately, I agree with you that there doesn't seem to be much apparent interest in vintage bikes in this part of Southeast Texas. Can't figure out why – plenty of overall interest in bikes here, just doesn't seem like there's too many people interested in keeping the old iron alive. A local AMCA Chapter would probably help – Cherokee Chapter is pretty far away (hint). Let me know when you'll enter that local show!
8:25 pm@
If you change the cases you will have to re-register the bike as a '47. I'd just build another bike over the period of time finding all '41 parts and one day .. voowallaa!.. you can switch motors and have a correct '47 AND a correct '41…and no re-registration…I'm sneaky that way .. and I like having more bikes…

Tyneside brewers are struggling to bridge the gap for their latest beer.
Millennium Bridge Ale was created to celebrate the opening of Gateshead's Blinking Eye structure.
Geordie drinkers have already downed more than 35,000 pints of the ale in three months and now more is in demand for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
Wallsend's Mordue Brewery is struggling to keep up with demand from pubs and shops.
As well as tens of thousands of pints sold in pubs, 5,000 gift packs have also been bought. Coun Mick Henry, deputy leader of Gateshead Council, said: "Millennium Bridge Ale was a great way for local people to join in with celebrations when the bridge opened in September."
Matthew Fawson, of Mordue Brewery, said: "This has been one of the most popular beers we have ever brewed.
"As well as being a very good drink, its success has to do with the popularity of the Bridge among people in the region and far beyond."

Back in the office... on a Saturday morning?!
2009-05-16 10:05:00-0700
*sigh* I forgot some paperwork at the office that I need in order to get my Visas for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It's funny how my mind works, I get so much good thinking done when I should be in deep sleep. And by "funny" I mean "kinda lame." Anyhow, I nearly startled awake on the couch at 4211 #1 this morning with the realization that I'd forgotten this folder that I'm keeping all of my Asia documents in, and with that as my number one priority for the day I got in my car and started driving straight to the coffee shop. Then I drove straight to the office, 50 miles away, with DJ Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise in the speakers. Life is always better with a soundtrack.
When I got to the office there was a woman standing with her baby in the center of the road into the parking lot of my office building. This reminded me of something that has struck me lately... I've noticed that the people who live in the new condos they build next door have what I would consider to be a very miserable existence concerning their neighborhood. I see people walking their dogs and taking their babies out for strolls through our parking lot, which amazes me because there's a beautiful field in the exact opposite direction. (And I mean beautiful in respect to what you tend to find in the middle of a populated metroplex. Untended with small animal wildlife doing their small wild animal things.) The area has been under construction for the last 4 years. The mall next door has been going out of business for longer than I've lived in the Bay Area. Even just the other day a woman I met on the street who just arrived from Taiwan and was lost told me she went into the mall and thought it was closed because almost nobody was inside. Even though there is some beauty to be found around here it seems so odd or incomplete or mismatched, seeing somebody raise their family around that same poorly engineered, crummy parking lot in an eternal construction zone on the corner of a freeway exit at one of the most accident prone intersections in the South Bay. I just don't understand that.
We all have our likes and dislikes, and who knows? Maybe they like just having a place to call their own. As for me, I'm out. Just 2 weeks until I'm sitting in Saigon discovering other ways of life that I don't understand.

Letz Sing, led by Tina Filippino, is a departure from traditional choirs in that we do not use sheet music or written words. Each song is learned using the oral tradition of call and response. The repertoire of songs reflects a diversity of origins, inspirations, and cultures. Tina chooses songs that participants can take with them and bring into the rhythms and routines of their everyday life.
Reluctant to Sing?
Many people who have had previous negative experiences with singing have found that Letz Sing is a comfortable and non-judgmental place to begin to sing again. When you become part of this singing group, the focus is not on individual voices but the voice produced together.
The key to singing is developing a quality of listening and focus. Tina's encouraging and relaxed teaching style makes this learning fun and exciting.
After a short time, many first time and reluctant singers are surprised to find themselves spontaneously singing throughout the week.
Three Opportunities Weekly
Fall through spring, three Letz Sing groups meet weekly -one in Black Creek, one in downtown Courtenay, and one in downtown Comox. Each session includes a warm-up for the voice and body, introduction of new material and time to sing from a growing repertoire of familiar songs. Once you are registered for a term, you are welcome to attend any one or two, or all three! Outside of the fall and spring semesters are additional drop-in opportunities.
No Pressure
Unlike traditional choirs, there is no pressure to perform. Instead, at the end of each term, all Letz Sing members gather for a Big Sing. Here people from all three Letz Sing weekly sessions join together to share a Sunday afternoon of singing the songs learned during the term. There are no spectators at this event. We gather for the simple pleasure of singing together.
It is the intention of Letz Sing that no one misses singing because of money. While there is a fee per session or term, a sliding fee scale is available. For the term fee, a request for sliding scale is accepted "no questions asked" and is kept confidential. For drop-in sessions, simply put what you can afford in the basket.
All locations are also accessible by wheelchair, and there are chairs available for anyone who needs to sit.

[page 0066] ~ Doctor Do Something. :
Updates: – Windows Shutdown Updates, Skype v126.96.36.199 .
DownLoads: – .
Hey Doc.
This next little bout of, "I will be using tumblr, because I just signed up for a tumblr account", is what I'm working on right now. Tumblr is a recently acquired asset by Yahoo! Inc. There is also another, plug-in, add-on called Disqus, pronounced (dis·cuss • di-skus') like a conversation, which is a distinct social interaction API that can be used in conjunction with tumblr as a blog comment hosting service. Besides having to figure out how Disqus hooks into tumblr, I need to rework all of my links in my website because of the major reconstruction of the Research section.
Yes, relinking my website is time consuming but it should be well worth it. Over the years it has become somewhat haphazardously connected, just to make deadlines and then to get it to work at all, per usual. And so, this cleaning expedition turns into something like clearing out a bunch of old junk drawers full of knick-knacks, thing-a-ma-jiggies, doo-dads and whatch-a-ma-call-its. If those html pages and the like are broken, not quite working, almost understood or a bunch of "I'll get back to it later" stuff, it's time to move on and leave all that residual detritus behind, or more appropriately and in actuality deleted. The best reason to tidy up this old website is because holding onto the best of intentions has a funny way of becoming the bane of the next progressions accomplishments. And this next accomplishment is reworking the Research section of my site so I can move through the next progression of programming for the XBox.
Thus far, I have been using the (C#, XNA, MSDN) programming style, where it is all done with an "in my bare hands" approach. This next progression, although not geared directly at the XBox, will use more powerful tools to accomplish the same tasks more easily and with more consistency. This process will use a standardized structure, My Program Pipeline, to define the who, how, what, why, where, when … aspects of game creation. And so, the "how" part is to keep track of all these newly realized creation styles and progressions that have opened this section up to all this extra remembering. This is the Research portion of my FarNiché site. So up and running with a more simplistic structure of inputting will accomplish this, once again, through an easily updated interface.
Ok, that just about wraps up the refinishing and relinking of my website. As I click around the site I still find some image files and 404 links that have not been linked back up, but as I find them they get fixed. So in my site, the pages are back to where they were. Outwardly they still look the same, but in my admin folder structure the site has a more clear layout.
Now its back to this months game that incorporates a Doctor. He has been built as a low poly mesh in ZBrush, then raised to a high poly mesh to have his high density surface PolyPainted, also in ZBrush. Seeing that this high poly count high resolution character is only used to get the texture output, the diffuse map, all I need to do is import the low res mesh and use the diffuse texture from the high res map to cover the low poly count character mesh in Maya LT. The export from Maya LT as an .FBX file sent over to Unity is the preferred method of asset transfer, in this, my asset production pipeline. As a side note, if the export is an .obj file, from Maya LT, it must be under 65,000 polygons, because that is the highest resolution permissible. I have no problem with that because the files smaller size keeps the assets sent over into Unity small and manageable.
Well then, my website is now set to its best configuration yet. Also, in my index page, on my Home Page, in the middle main section, when scrolled down to the bottom, is where I have placed my Disqus discussion service. So instead of having Disqus hooked into my tumblr account I have placed my DISQUS-sions in the Home Page of my website. As you could guess, this means I have figured out how to add the DISQUS code to my website so that it is embedded in the Home Page and allows it to function as the designers intended to, the facilities are up and running. The topics covered are anything about indie video game design & video game development. That is the scope and focus of My FarNiche DISQUS. The depth of my discussions and the breath of my commentation and responses will be aligned with indie video games. So storylines and their progressions, character build up, NPC usage and placement, asset creation programs, technical skills needed to use them or artistic abilities to draw with them, advanced planning with Game Design Document techniques or hindsight reworks and asset rebuilds, anything about indie game building and gameplay, successes and failures, it's all good. I figure the subject matter of design and development should be a large enough platform within the venue of indie video games. These baseline ideas should provide for and allow enough leeway in the diverse discussions about the many and varied aspects needed to consolidate the build ideas that make up any indie game desired. Now, the last important ingredient in any discussion for the "Instant party, just add people". But of course, any great party always starts as a party of one.

Quitting isn't always failing. There are times when it really is the right and best thing to do. Working out whether the choice to quit is a logically or authentically good or bad one is the difficult part.
Scott Dinsmore, founder of Live Your Legend, created the Should I Quit My Job quiz. It's great to get you thinking about your work and what it is (or isn't) doing for you. My result was 105/130, but of course I knew it would be high, I've already quit.
Last week I went to watch a day of TEDx talks on the topic of failure. I learnt how government drug policies fail young people, how war is a failure of humanity caused by leaders who aren't prepared to fail themselves, how universities are failing to teach medical students the importance of openly talking about their failures, how we're failing by valuing protection over connection in our relationships.
But I also learnt how we should embrace failure, share failure, open ourselves to the world of rejection, practice failing, and that failure is a sign that we've surpassed ourselves, that it's just a process we go through to get to where we want to be, that we should just learn to fail a bit better next time around.
We're taught that making mistakes is bad, that we should never make poor decisions, that we must always strive to get things right. Except that's not teaching us resilience. That's not teaching us how to learn and move forward. You've got to build failure into your plans, because it's going to happen. You show up and you make your own choices, but you can't control anything else, failure is just experience.
So I want to leave you with a little technique for accepting failure and moving on, something to help us fail fast and learn quick: The Failure Bow: Matt Smith at TEDx

|Update on March 3 demonstrations
Bron: www.manukoreri.net
Despite other POLRI area commanders allowing the peaceful demonstrations across West Papua, Paramilitary police mobile brigade BRIMOB refused to allow gathering to take place, and subsequently gave order to disperse. Peaceful Demonstrators were beaten, and 70 were taken into custody. In the Evening, 67 detainees were released on summons with many sustaining serious injuries. It is unclear as to what condition the protestors are in as all means of communication with outside world has been cut.
On ground commander unclear, although all acting under command of Captain D Rumaropen (+62 (0) 81344183583).
We are unable to make contact with witnesses to get on the ground third party confirmation, however we are confident that events have happened. Journalists must contact police, military and foreign Affairs and can get more answers.
• Why did POLRI disallow a protest and disperse it violently?

On September 18, 10 Edmonton MC College graduates from the Fashion Design program showcased their clothing collection at the New Designers Fashion Show, as part of Western Canada Fashion Week. Every student was required to design and produce 8 complete outfits. The show, held at The ATB Financial Arts Barn, was sold out to an audience of family, friends and members of Edmonton's fashion industry.
In attendance were Joe Cairo (President of MC College), Nicole Campre (MC College alumni, Fashion Designer), Jelena Bojic (Marketing Director at Kingsway Mall), Curtis Greenland (Director of Education at Pixel Blue College), and Kyla Kaziel, Stacey Boruk and Suzy Kenny, the fashionistas from Bamboo Ballroom, and many more!!
The sound of electric guitars echoed throughout the event space as models showcased the first collection. Before each show, a video montage of the new designers, created by Pixel Blue, were displayed.
View the videos here!
Carrie Bradshaw inspired tulle skirts, structured blazers and leather high-waisted skirts were a few of the clothing pieces that were featured in the show.
The graduates found inspiration for their collections from many facets including their cultural backgrounds, life experiences, music and even the science fiction movie staring Arnold Scwarzenegger, 'Predator'.
While models strutted across the runway, 6 Beauty Apprentices were backstage assisting with hair, make-up and wardrobe styling. As part of MC College's initiative, Beauty Apprentice, over 100 Edmonton and surrounding High School students applied to volunteer behind the scenes at Western Canada Fashion Week.
Congratulations to the following MC College Fashion Design graduates:
Stephanie Kimble, Emily Rault, Samantha DeCoste, Andrea Marie Lambert, Trish Opena, Joanne Zaborowski, Hanady Siffledeen, Caitlin Smerechinski, Tina Pham and Mariam Hosseini.
For a preview of the show, visit: http://instagram.com/p/tGqdKmmWK-/?modal=true
Every year, graduates design, create and present their final collections in a run-way show and are given the opportunity to network with staff at MC College, local designers and fashion bloggers.

Chaitén bulletin no. 91 (5 May 2009) 9 May 2009Posted by admin in activity reports, Chaitén, Chile, eruptions.
Tags: Chaitén, Chile, South America, volcanic activity reports, volcanic eruptions
Bulletin no. 91 on the eruption of Chaitén volcano, covering the period 29 April to 4 May 2009, is now available as a PDF via the informes page of the Observatorio Volcanológico de los Andes del Sur (OVDAS) website, and a shortened version has been published on the SERNAGEOMIN website. Translation of the full document as follows.
1. Visual monitoring
During this period the volcano has been observed during fieldwork carried out on 29 April, and also in partial form during an overflight carried out on 1 May.
The eruption continues with the consistent growth of the dome complex and their column of gas and ash, which has occasionally reached 2.0 km above the volcano (Fig. 1), with gravitational collapses generating block-and-ash flows (FBC; Fig. 2). The emission of gas and ash is concentrated principally in the centre of emission located in the south-east sector of the dome complex (Fig. 2).
On 1 May there was an overflight of the volcano in a Twin Otter aircraft of FACH [Chilean Air Force], co-ordinated for Mr Guillermo Nuñez, Director of ONEMI [state emergencies office] for Los Lagos Region. It was possible to observe that the central pinnacle has fractured into three main, very unstable, blocks and that the dome complex has continued with its rapid growth, expanding considerably (Fig. 3). This produces a major danger for the valley of the Chaitén river, as possible gravitational collapses in the southern sector may generate block-and-ash flows (FBC). The surface morphology of the dome complex is very irregular, with various pinnacles and notable heights (estimated as in the region of 100m).
Figures 1 [above] and 2 [below]. Views of Chaitén on 29 April, showing the gas and ash column with a predominance of water vapour from condensation which reached an altitude of 2.0 km (1). The complex of domes continue their growth with gravitational collapses generating block-and-ash flows (FBC) (2). Also shown is the active centre of emission in the south-east sector of the dome complex (2).
Figure 3. Aerial view of the dome complex, the volume and extent of which have grown significantly, and of the very fractured central pinnacle (courtesy Mr Javier Romero, Vialidad MOP, Puerto Montt).
2. Seismic monitoring
The seismicity registered by the monitoring network of Chaitén volcano this last week has remained relatively stable with an average of 12 to 14 earthquakes of HB [hybrid] type per day. After the slight decline in magnitudes on 25 and 26 April, there was again an increase after 1 May, nevertheless, the RSAM values have not exceeded 115,000 units and only four events have exceeded 100,000 units (Fig. 4). During the last few days there has again occurred a slight decline in the higher magnitudes, the values of which have varied between 3.5 and 4.0, registering a maximum of up to 4.2. With regard to the epicentres of the earthquakes, these have continued to be located on the edges of the caldera, with depths that are principally concentrated between 3 and 13 km.
Figure 4. RSAM graph showing the relative stability of the seismic energy from 15 April to 4 May 2009. [Click on image for enlarged version.]
3. Conclusions and interpretation
The eruptive activity continues with the growth of the dome complex, which has risen and expanded. Although the seismic activity occurring to date shows a slight decline in magnitudes, the highest reaching up to magnitude 4.2, the number of HB-type earthquakes has been maintained. In relation to the seismic energy released the levels have been maintained, a phenomenon which is directly related to the growth of the dome complex. In consequence, there is a continuing latent danger of the occurrence of possible explosions and block-and-ash flows (FBC), along with lahars, which may affect valleys adjacent to Chaitén volcano.
In consequence, given that the seismic activity remains elevated and, in accordance with this, the sustained growth of the dome complex, with the possibility of the generation of block-and-ash flows (FBC) that may affect the surrounding valleys, SERNAGEOMIN maintains Volcanic Red Alert.

I'd like to see a more zoomed out aerial view so we can get a better idea of what the entire caldera looks like. The last time we got one of those photos was after the big dome collapse a few months ago.

The photo of the spine is awesome!
- 3. Fresh Bilge » Monster - 11 May 2009
[…] explosions, the volume of ejected material is becoming very impressive. In the latest bulletin, translated at The Volcanism Blog, a chart shows seismic activity remaining at the intense level observed since early April. 8:11 […]
- 4. Perry - 11 May 2009
That spine in fig 3 looks on a par with the spine that collapsed at MT. PELÉE in 1903.
I wonder what knowledge the few inhabitants who remain in Chaitén have of volcanoes? They are unlikely to have internet access to research the subject and assess the possible consequences of remaining in the town. It does not look good.

Oh how I wish I had seen this marvelous idea when we were planning our wedding! One of the hottest new wedding trend (and FUN one at that!) is to have a wedding photobooth at your wedding reception. They're tons of fun, easy to set up, fun for your wedding guests and excellent memories of your wedding day that you can keep forever. I first heard about this new wedding trend a couple of months ago, and have been seeing it all over the place! Here are just a couple of ideas to get you rolling.
A Wedding Photo booth is Easy to Set Up
If you're not as lucky as some of us with the option of tons of extra rooms for your wedding day, a photo booth can be as simple to set up as hanging some white cloth or even a colored shower curtain on the wall. Be sure to make a definite place where your guests are to stand for their pictures. At my cousin's wedding just a few weeks ago, she simply strung out a bright and colorful shower curtain across the corner. If you're having an outdoor wedding then string up a sheet or thick paper between two trees or wherever you can find a spot, preferably away from direct sunlight or windy areas which can have an adverse affect on your pictures.
Don't Forget the Props!!
One of the things that set a wedding photobooth apart from any other kind of photo booth is the fun you can have, so don't forget the props. The props can be anything your little heart desires. I've seen wigs, giant sunglasses, fedoras, feather boas, cut-outs of giant mustaches on sticks, giant red lips, tiaras, funny hats and other costume ideas. You can even include some large empty picture frames as props in your wedding and let your guests just get creative. Another fun idea is to include a white board and markers, or a chalkboard with chalk for special messages from your wedding guests.
One thing about this wedding trend is for sure. Your guests will have tons of fun taking pictures and watching others get their pictures taken, and not only that – but you'll have some fun picture memories from your wedding that will leave you rolling long after your wedding is over.
Many thanks to my awesome cousin Caleb for this awesome wedding photo booth shot! 🙂


text: [Bernhard Reiter] > Of course I forgot to attach the patch, to the last mail. Sorry. Thanks for the patch -- but, having tried it out, I really liked the look&feel of the Details better the way they were. I'll try to justify this a bit: When specifying an explicit window target for the details links, I'll only get _one_ specific details window (unless I middle-click on a link to tell my Netscape "ignore the window target for this link, but open it in a new window"). However, if all links are made to be without window targets, I'll either have to go back and forth between details and the admin page (when left-clicking), or I'll get a total clutter of separate details windows (when middle-clicking). As for the "Warning! Don't change this option here!" part of the patch, I think a) the fact it states is pretty obvious, as there is no submit button on the page, and b) it adds unwanted visual clutter to an otherwise beautiful details page ;) [ All of this should probably be a per-admin configurable option -- but we won't have separate admin authentication until after 1.0, so I'd rather leave everything as it is for now. ] Let me know if my reasoning is wrong/stupid/fascist/implying that I'm a control freak :) -- Harald

I Love Poetry, Prose & dabble in Social Commentary. For "Knowing" and "Experiencing" are not one in the same. In the truth of our human experiences, we allow fear to dominate these experiences. But, challenge convention. Each entity placed in our path creates an opportunity to shift along our journey, so do not acquiesce to defeat before you even begin. Be available for the experiences and moments that are happening as you navigate this life.
