I've just installed a new WP multisite and now I'm just wondering how to restrict the registrations to only a certain location.
The domain is http://416seller.com and I need to restrict registration to Toronto-based sellers. I'm thinking that maybe an extra field in the registration will be ok but if there is maybe an htaccess code to detect Toronto-based IPs?
Please help, thanks!

Definición de schooner en inglés:
1A sailing ship with two or more masts, typically with the foremast smaller than the mainmast.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- The glimmering vessel was a great schooner, with multiple masts on top and impressive quarters inside.
- The visit of the barques, brigantines and schooners also seemed to drive off some of the tourism malaise created by a July shrouded in fog, damp and rain.
- A lone sailboat, a single schooner, a solitary steamship might not have much impact in an eclectic gallery.
2British A glass for drinking a large measure of sherry.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- They'd rather drink a schooner of fortified wine than be seen with a glass of something pink.
- The branders and marketeers would like to bypass the image of refined sherry drinkers taking their apéritif from miniature schooners with the little finger slightly adrift of the glass.
2.1North American & Australian /NZ A tall beer glass.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Painted on it was a red demon holding a schooner of beer.
- Most have done more physical damage to themselves in endless schooners.
- He received a fitting farewell in front of his home crowd before enjoying a celebratory schooner in the family pub in Sydney's inner-west.
Early 18th century: perhaps from dialect scun 'skim along', influenced by Dutch words beginning with sch-.

Mission: (5) Raid on Balikpapan - Mode: Veteran

Take a lesson from the history books
Yes the Nada is a tough ship to tackle with just two destroyers, but it is true that if you sink all the cargo ships in a certain amount of time You complete the mission wihtout having to face the reinforcements. I finished in less than 6 minutes, didnt lose any ships, on VETERAN. The real raid was done with a diversion, a sub sneaked into the harbour fired torpedoes and ran away, when the Jap destroyers chased him several miles away the U.S. destoyers, hiding in a storm squall, came rushing in for the attack on the cargo ships unopposed.
I used the parrot as the submarine and it worked first time. Set both the destroyers repair crews to fight water leaks and send the parrot to the right , the john ford to the left towards the fortress. keep both ships about 1.3 miles away from the patrolling destroyer (if it sees you just start over) the parrot should be moving slowly while the ford is going pull speed away from the destroyer toward the front of the fortress but just out of the fortress gun range.when the ford is there let it sit and have the parrot attack the cargo ships with torpedoes and guns but dont get too close and when the destoyer detects him turn and run away from the island, the jap destroyer and pt boats will chase him leaving the harbour defenseless except for the fortress gun. dont sink any pt boats and no more will come out of the hanger . sink the cargo ships in less than 6:45 and no reinforcements will arrive. good luck and tell me how it worked for you.

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra: Violin
Music in utero. 16 classical concerts for mums to be. The Rudolfinum music hall, Prague.
Clasical music is healthy to hear even before you will be born according to scients research. That's why The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra prepared special concerts for mums to be. Prints and posters for these event were done by using parts of instruments as a belly.

I like it! but maybe there has been just too many campaigns that use the belly that way –being formed by the product or ad's subject.
Yea. Looks more like a breast.

I have seen this photo in color but smaller in another gallery.
Taking another stroll at your nudes. What a great black and white and wow, this model is amazing.
She may have the most amazing figure I have ever seen. AND, the photograph is stunning.
Sweet. Beautiful and timeless.
Amazing! I'm a child of the 70's and this reminds me of all the beautiful, natural women of the time. This photo could be from any decade from the 50's to the early 80's (when women aerobecized their curves away).
stunning! what a beautiful and natural subject...
No words!
very Bardot like
Nice lighting and pose.
She's like a lioness with beautifull B...S!
Delicious... The bare background allows to better focus on her beauty...
Every time I visit this this photographer, I'm always drawn to this photo. It's exquisite. Much of it's beauty is the model herself, but also the art of the photographer. I wish I knew her name. Oh well ...
Breath taking.
Wonderful, simply wonderful!
Such a sweet shot!
I must say, her face looks so young - even childlike. Almost a surreal contrast with such a shapely figure.
Nice work.

Nice work.
Some people are a mix of all the things that with the right light make a great image.
This model is one of them. Lovely.
This model is one of them. Lovely.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Looking to add a little comic-book flair to your wardrobe? Merchoid has debuted its new line of skirts and dresses based on DC Comics' well-known characters.
The new collection features eight dresses and two skirts inspired by Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Batman and Superman.
Beginning as a series of retro-style statuettes, DC Comics' Bombshells has inspired variant covers, a comic book, cosplay and, now, a fashion collection.
Hot Topic has unveiled a limited-edition DC Comics Bombshells line that includes a Batwoman hat and baseball dress, Wonder Woman shorts and top, a Poison Ivy dress, and a Harley Quinn aviator jacket.
As a fan of Storm's 1980s mohawk era, I wholeheartedly endorse this posters series that pays tribute to the iconic — or near-iconic — hairstyles of the women of Marvel and DC Comics.
Created by The Ninjabot, "Geeky Girls Hair" highlights the distinctive 'dos of Wonder Woman, Gwen Stacy, Harley Quinn, Mary Jane Watson, Poison Ivy, Rogue and the aforementioned Storm, showing only their hair and accessories.
Graphic novels | The 70th volume of Naruto topped the June BookScan graphic novel charts, followed by Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and the 23rd volume of The Walking Dead. The rise up the chart by Bechdel's celebrated 2006 memoir can probably be chalked up to its musical adaptation, which opened in January on Broadway and earned five Tony Awards. [ICv2]
Conventions | Lisa Halverstat rounds up some facts about Comic-Con International, including the number of attendees at the first Comic-Con (100), the number of scheduled events (2,040) and the amount of money con-goers are expected to spend in San Diego ($80.4 million, or $619 per person). [Voice of San Diego]
While those Catwoman sunglasses we showcased earlier this month are undeniably awesome, maybe they're not quite your style. Perhaps while you're lounging on the beach you prefer to imagine yourself in Themyscira or, I don't know, Central City. No matter, now Sun-Staches has you covered.
The company that makes the sunglasses/mask combos has expanded its line of comic book-themed novelty eye wear to include Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Spider-Man, Robin and Poison Ivy. (There are also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but I'm not sure anyone over the age of 10 can get away with that.)
Cartoonist Tom Beland, best known for True Story, Swear to God, has posted a series of sketches showcasing comic book heroines — and in one case anti-heroines — as they enjoy a little time to themselves.
Medusa multitasks while reading the newspaper and Storm whips up a fluffy cloud elephant, while Sue Storm won't allow a little thing like a multi-pronged attack by villains tear her away from a good book. It's not all Marvel, though: You'll also see Alana and Hazel from Saga, and Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from DC Comics.
Sideshow Collectibles, best known for its premium figures, has expanded into limited-edition art prints featuring Marvel and DC Comics properties, and its own Court of the Dead.
Its Premium Art Print line debuts with Gotham Sirens: Poison Ivy by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Spider-Woman by Scott Forbes, and Kier: Call of the Forsaken Valkyrie by David Palumbo, with upcoming work promised from the likes of Ariel Olivetti, Kris Anka and Fabian Schlaga.
Priced at $79.99, each 18-inch by 24-inch print is hand-numbered, and includes a penciled artist signature and embossed seal of authenticity.
Artist Juan Carlos Ruiz Burgos recently added the above Zatanna illustration to his deviantART gallery, drawing our attention to his occasional series of frankly amazing tributes to the classic Saturday Evening Post covers using DC Comics characters.
In addition to Zatanna, surrounded on stage by white rabbits, there's a heartwarming depiction of Clark Kent casually reading The Daily Planet as a little boy gapes in awe at Action Comics #1, The Joker and Harley Quinn on the run like Bonnie and Clyde, Wonder Woman listening thoughtfully to a little girl, and an autumnal Poison Ivy piece that's probably not safe for work.
Funko has announced Pop! Heroes: Arkham Asylum, its new series of vinyl figures based on Warner Bros. Interactive entertainment's hit action-adventure video game Batman: Arkham Asylum. The collection features Batman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Killer Croc.
This is particularly timely, considering today's television casting news: Project: Rooftop showcases Perry Maple's whimsical redesign of Batman and his allies and enemies, from Robin to Scarecrow to Two-Face.
"The aim for this redesign was to create a colorful, simple, and playful reimagining of the Gotham city universe," the artist explains on his deviantART page. I think he achieved that goal, too, particularly with Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, who look as if they stepped out of a fairy tale. However, I also really like is older take on Selina Kyle in a decidedly different style.
Check out close-ups of some of Maple's redesigns below, and visit his deviantART page for more.
Comics fans searching for a visually bold yet affordable way to liven up a room may find something that suits their tastes, and their budgets, from GeekMyWall, which offers a line of striking typographic posters inspired by comics characters.
Harley Quinn, Batman, Green Lantern, Rorschach, V — they're all represented in prints beginning at 11 inches by 17 inches or $25. Each figure is created from character-appropriate quotes. For instance, Wonder Woman is, "Of all people, you know who I am … …who the world needs me to be. I'm Wonder Woman." And The Flash: "'I'm getting lectured on child safety from a man who's gone through four Robins?"
They're also available as T-shirts. And if the comic characters aren't for you, there are plenty of television- and movie-themed options.
DC Collectibles has revealed their con exclusives for October's New York Comic-Con, which include a Super Best Friends Forever: Poison Ivy PVC Figure and an action figure two-pack featuring Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Blue Lantern Saint Walker.
Like the three Super Best Friends Forever figures released for San Diego, the Poison Ivy PVC Figure is designed by Lauren Faust and sculpted by Irene Matar. It measures approximately 6.625" tall and is priced at $24.95.
The DC Comics Super Heroes: Hal Jordan & Saint Walker Action Figure 2-pack is sculpted by Robert Lynders. This set is the latest in the 3.75" scale and is priced at $29.95.
Both items can be bought at the Graphitti Designs booth #755 at New York Comic-Con.
If you've been keeping up with the events in the DC Universe, then you know things are looking particularly grim for the good guys.
At the conclusion of "Trinity War," the Justice Leagues faced an invasion from the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3 — "The birthplace of all evil," as one character called it — evil counterparts of the Justice League. In the first issue of Forever Evil, these villains claimed to have killed all of the Justice Leaguers, they freed all the supervillains from all the super-prisons and organized them into an army called The Secret Society, they did some awful things to Nightwing and then even moved the moon to permanently block out the sun.
Those jerks.
To mark the occasion of evil temporarily winning (again), DC declared September Villains Month, and is interrupting the ongoing adventures of its heroes with special ".1″ issues starring various villains. Each of these was to bear a fancy plastic 3D cover that jacked the price up a buck and ultimately created shortages, an artificial collectors/speculators market and irritated a whole bunch of retailers, many of whom were already pretty irritated by having to figure out how to order something like, say, Justice League #23.3: Dial E, which fused one of the publisher's best selling comics with one of its worst.
We — and by that I mean you and I, for the course of this post — aren't going to concern ourselves with that aspect of the books, however. Instead, let's look under those covers, whether they're the fancy plastic 3D ones or the regular, cheaper "standard edition" ones and concern ourselves with the quality of the comics concealed behind the covers.
These last few days, the good burghers of the Essential Sequential agency have been posting sketch after sketch by Italy's Matteo Scalera to their Instagram account. Scalera might not be the biggest name in their stable of artists (which includes Dave Johnson, Andrew Robinson and Dan Panosian), but he's producing stylish work, redolent of another couple of Essential Sequential artists, Eric Canete and Sean Gordon Murphy. I'd throw Declan Shalvey and Robbi Rodriguez in as another couple of touchstones, too. A little further digging reveals Scalera's blog and his DeviantArt page are the places to find better-quality, less ruthlessly cropped, versions of these illustrations. His DeviantArt account reveals him to be an absolute sketch machine — he's numbering them, and has reached 533.
When DC Comics announced it was launching a series based on its popular Ame-Comi line of figures, I don't think I heard a single person say, "Yes! I was hoping for that!" The Ame-Comi collectibles can be imaginative and attractive (some more than others), but no one was clamoring for a series that sexualized DC's superheroines even more overtly than they already are. In fact, the most common responses were either head-scratching or eye-rolling, depending on how much the person thought DC has legitimately tried to reach out to female readers lately. But then the creators were announced.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray write the series and Amanda Conner drew the first couple of installments, which were serialized digitally first, 10 pages at a time. Putting the creators of the well-regarded Power Girl series on Ame-Comi Girls was a smart move and convinced a lot of readers who otherwise would have dismissed the comic – including me – to give it at least an initial look.


text: TV Guide Would Like Some Good NewsHamilton Nolan5/19/08 12:47pmFiled to: fugitivesCrimeMediaMagazinesTV Guide3EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkOne more thing that the good people who run TV Guide have to worry about: Henry Yuen, the company's former CEO, is now officially a fugitive. He was charged with obstruction of justice last week for destroying documents that the SEC requested (in relation to an earlier conviction for securities fraud, natch), but he failed to turn himself in. New owner Macrovision is already preoccupied with trying to sell the print magazine to rescue the entire enterprise from death, so they certainly could do without the headache of answering new questions about Yuen, who was fired in 2002. Luckily for them, this story is far too esoteric for TV outlets to cover. [Mediapost via Jossip]Reply3 repliesLeave a reply

Name that country: surging debt, a rapidly falling currency, a sclerotic political system, and a central bank pulling out all the stops to revive a stagnant economy.
Famous cliff scene from the movie "Thelma & Louise."
If you guessed either Japan or the United States, both would be the correct answer. This week, the similarities between two of the world's economic heavyweights became more apparent, with both starting to resemble ugly twin sisters.
Japan reported a surprisingly deep 0.9 percent contraction in the third quarter, the first time in the year. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims in the U.S. surged to their highest in more than a year, and a clutch of companies announced mass layoffs – the latest sign of how slowly the economy is growing
With the world fixated on the euro zone's debt troubles, Japan this week provided a stark reminder that it's vast economy remains a basket case, right alongside Europe and the United States.
"It's the U.S. to Europe that's the best comparison, but in terms of levels of debt, comparing debt proximity to the ceiling, then it's a U.S.-Japan race," said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. Obama has really put the U.S. on a hole quickly.
As anti-austerity strikes and a deepening recession roil the 17-nation euro club, most economists are quick to point to Continental Europe as an emblem of what ails America: too much debt, sluggish growth and political paralysis.
However, with Japan's "Lost Decade" stretching into a generation, the is following the same path under Obama. Both countries have debt levels that match or exceed their gross domestic product.
In Japan, runaway public spending has pushed its debt to GDP ratio above 200 percent, while the U.S. just recently topped 100 percent. The state of affairs has ratings agencies ready to downgrade both governments.
Fair value for Dow is 7500.
With Obama at the helm, it's going to be more like the Lost Decade and a Half. Whoever takes over in 2016 will have one He!! of a mess to clean up. Make G.W. Bush's economy look like a badly run lemonade stand...

The serenity of the Appalachian Mountains, which cut across the northwestern corner of Georgia, contrasts sharply with the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, approximately an hour's drive south. The famed Appalachian Trail begins in Georgia, and state parks in the mountains preserve the region's cliffs and canyons, providing miles of hiking trails and hundreds of campsites in wilderness areas.
Appalachian National Scenic Trail
A rocky outcropping on Springer Mountain, 83 miles north of Atlanta in Chattahoochee National Forest (fs.usda.gov), is the southern terminus of the 2,184-mile long Appalachian Trail (nps.gov/appa). The 76.4-mile Georgia section of the trail passes through five federal wilderness areas. Blue-blazed spur trails such as the Byron Herbert Reece Memorial Trail near Neals Gap, approximately 30 miles east of Springer, provide moderately strenuous day hikes when combined with a section of the Appalachian Trail. March is the busiest month on the trail in Georgia, where hikers who plan to walk the entire trail begin their quest to reach Mount Katahdin in Maine before winter weather makes it difficult to continue. The Springer Mountain trailhead is reached via a short hike from Forest Service Road 42 or by an 8.5-mile hike from Amicolala Falls State Park (gastateparks.org).
Red Top Mountain State Park
Named for its iron-rich soil, Red Top Mountain State Park (gastateparks.org) near Cartersville, 40 miles northwest of Atlanta in the foothills of the southern Appalachians, has more than 15 miles of trails, including a short, handicapped-accessible path that leads to a reconstructed 19th-century homestead. The 5.5-mile Homestead Trail, moderate in difficulty, follows the Lake Allatoona shoreline and winds through the woods, while the 3.5-mile Sweetgum Lodge Loop Trail connects the campground with the park's visitors center. Red Top Mountain State Park offers a swimming beach, campground, a yurt and cottages.
Fort Mountain State Park
Fourteen miles of hiking trails wind through Fort Mountain State Park (gastateparks.org) near Dalton, about 90 miles northwest of Atlanta. The strenuous, 8.2-mile Gahuti Trail passes the summits of Fort and Cohutta mountains, and the easier 1.2-mile Lake Trail circles the park's lake. Other features of the park are a stone fire tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and an ancient, 855-foot-long stone wall that locals speculate was built by Native Americans as a fortification. Fort Mountain State Park offers cabins, a campground and backcountry campsites.
Cloudland Canyon State Park
A 1,980-foot gorge is the highlight of Cloudland Canyon State Park (gastateparks.org) near Rising Fawn, 120 miles northwest of Atlanta. The 3,488-acre park on the western edge of Lookout Mountain includes an easy trail from the parking area to the canyon rim, as well as more challenging trails that use a series of staircases to reach the bottom or follow the rim. The Waterfalls Trail, a strenuous two-mile round trip, features a pair of cascading waterfalls tumbling over sandstone into pools. On the two-mile Backcountry Loop Trail, hemlock groves provide a secluded setting for primitive hike-in campsites. Cloudland Canyon also features cottages and a developed campground.

Solar panels contribute to energy and state goals
by Megan Rose, Facilities Management
Solar panels installed on the roofs of the Coors Events/Conference Center, Housing System Maintenance Center and Wolf Law Building will produce 140,000 kilowatt-hours of energy per year – enough to power 20 medium-sized houses.
The solar energy will go back into the buildings that hold the panels. It also will contribute to a cleaner energy grid and Colorado Amendment 37, passed by voters in 2004 to mandate 20 percent use of renewable energy statewide by 2020.
The solar panels are initially free of charge to CU-Boulder due to a partnership with Rockwell Financial Group of Centennial, Colo. The partnership allows CU-Boulder to reduce its carbon footprint through use of the newly acquired technology, while Rockwell Financial Group receives monetary incentives, some of which CU-Boulder is not eligible for because of its tax-exempt status.
"This project had specific financing goals on top of our continued campus sustainability objectives," said Moe Tabrizi, CU-Boulder's energy conservation officer. "The university is not a tax entity and if we would have done this project on our own, we would have left a significant rebate, tax credits and a depreciation deal on the table."
Rockwell Financial Group receives a one-time, per kilowatt-hour installation rebate from Xcel Energy amounting to $200,000, as well as federal tax credits and depreciation charges. The company also has the opportunity to sell solar power back to Xcel Energy at a premium rate of 11.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
In seven years, CU-Boulder will have the option of purchasing the solar panels at a fraction of their original cost and also will be able to sell solar power back to Xcel Energy.
The Coors Events/Conference Center and the Housing System Maintenance Center each received 210 solar panels while the Wolf Law Building received 52 solar panels. Tabrizi is working toward solar panel installations on every flat roof on campus, but Xcel Energy limits the amount of incentives accrued by one property. CU-Boulder is negotiating more installations on buildings located off the main campus.
"CU-Boulder's solar panels are another step in reaching the carbon reduction goals we've set over the years," said Tabrizi. "From the University Presidents' Climate Commitment in 2007, the Colorado governor's 'Greening of State Government' executive order in 2007 and our own carbon neutrality plan set last fall, along with the ongoing support of Frank Bruno, vice chancellor for administration, we are moving forward on reducing our nonrenewable energy consumption 20 percent by 2012."
Suntech Power manufactured the solar panels and Bella Energy of Louisville, Colo., carried out the project design and installation, which was completed over eight days in November and December of last year with the oversight of a CU-Boulder project management and engineering team.

Talk:Ladakh Scouts

WikiProject class rating[edit]
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as stub, and the rating on other projects was brought up to Stub class. BetacommandBot 18:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Colonel Chewang Rinchen[edit]
The following seemed out of place in the article and was thus removed: "Colonel Chewang Rinchen, MVC & Bar, SM, (Retd.) joined the Army (J&K Militia) as the youngest Junior Commissioned Officer in 1947, at the tender age of 17½. He won the first Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) for the Regiment in the 1947-48 Jammu & Kashmir operations. He won another MVC for the Regiment in the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Later on in his distinguished military career, Colonel Rinchen was appointed the Honorary Colonel of the Ladakh Scouts." If anyone can put the information back in the article in a way that make sense or wants to create another separate article for Col. Rinchen, they are welcome to but it seems at the time he is only notable for being an officer at such a young age. VarunRajendran (talk) 15:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Editor Jana J. Madsen discusses tough times and how Buildings' coverage can help
Jana J. MadsenEditor
Times are tough. It may seem as though the pressure to create value by cutting costs, optimizing building systems, and increasing efficiency has never been greater. With resources scarce, the "do-more-with-less" directive can sometimes be disheartening. Don't despair.
Buildings magazine has been here for you for 102 years, and its team of editors remains dedicated to helping you succeed - even in this tough economy. In 2009, we're introducing a new monthly column aimed at providing information, tips, and step-by-step instruction on how to lower operating costs. Read our inaugural article, focused this month on the payoffs of cleaning lighting fixtures and lamps. I think you'll be surprised by what Managing Editor Leah B. Garris uncovered.
Findings from a recent survey among readers revealed that energy management continues to be of utmost importance to facilities professionals. As a result, expect lots of information on the pages of Buildings magazine throughout the coming year that focuses on increasing energy efficiency and lowering utility bills; this issue's cover story is a good example. Read about commissioning and how it can lower energy consumption while improving building-system efficiency and reliability. As this story will tell you, if you haven't commissioned your building(s) in a while, perhaps it's time. Author and expert Steve Harrell of SSRCx, explains why retro-commissioning and Continuous Commissioning can result in a better bottom line.
Getting the job done and doing it well are two different things. As demands for your time increase, resources seem scarce, and capital is deferred, rally your spirits and rise to the challenge. Find ways to work smarter, not harder. Do more with less money, less energy, and, frankly, fewer headaches. And, if we can help, don't hesitate to let us know how; e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're here to serve you (for at least another century).

Birmingham Literature Festival 2016, 6 – 15 October
Programme announced summer 2016
Birmingham Literature Festival 2015 took place from 8th – 17th October.
We were delighted to welcome to this year's festival (amongst many others) Rev Richard Coles, Allan Ahlberg, Mark Billingham and former US Poet Laureate Rita Dove. They joined broadcaster Stuart Maconie and musicians-turned-writers Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt (Everything But The Girl) to make up the full programme of over 40 events.
As we know a lot of you come to several events, we created a BLF Pass for the first time this year, which gave access to virtually every public event during the festival for just £65. BLF Pass holders also received discounts to attend writing workshops taking place during the festival.
Our highlight was hosting Pulitzer Prize-winner and former US Poet Laureate Rita Dove on Friday 9 October. Rita is one of the US's most electric poets and very rarely performs in Europe, so this was a very special event and one we're honoured to have had in our programme.
This year's festival celebrated the creative connections between words and music, with Sam Lee and Richard O'Neill discussing Romany Song and Story, and jazz soprano Lauren Kinsella combining music, poetry and theatre. Crime writer Mark Billingham turned his hand to playwriting for The Other Half, a theatre show mixing music with narrative, with country music duo My Darling Clementine.
The festival offered a feast of food and foreign literature at the Baltic Breakfast at Café Opus at IKON, featuring writers from Latvia and Lithuania, and Cooked Up, with short story writers whose contribution to the new collection of the same name are all inspired by food.
If literature in unusual locations is more your thing, the festival took its audience on a poetry vintage bus tour through the Black Country with a 1953 Leyland Royal Tiger bus from Boultons of Shropshire; and we offered the chance to lie back and marvel at the stars with the captivating e-x-p-a-n-d-i-n-g: History of the Universe in 45 Minutes.
Birmingham Literature Festival always makes space to take a creative look at current affairs. This year, the festival is hosted The Writing of Protest, in partnership with Guardian Live, with Everyday Sexism campaigner Laura Bates, a director of lobbying group 38degrees, and Professor Mary Evans from LSE, who discussed the role that storytelling plays in campaigning.
As always, there were plenty of writing workshops and performance opportunities for writers.
See you in October 2016 for the next Birmingham Literature Festival! Look out for the programme which will be released in Summer 2016.
The Birmingham Literature Festival team.

How can I configure Apache to direct requests for particular URL on server to a particular directory, while at the same time transforming how that URL is seen by the script that processes it?
Say I have a php script in the following directory:
I would like all incoming HTTP requests to http://server/foo/* to be processed by /somedir/foo/script.php. However, I would also like the script to know what the remainder of the URI is in the REQUEST_URI variable.
(The * part of the URL is opaque information that is only meaningful to the script, and could be anything)
For example:
will be handled by /somedir/foo/script.php, and the script will see the REQUEST_URI as simply "/" and
will also be handled by /somedir/foo/script.php, while REQUEST_URI will be seen as "/the/quick/brown/fox.html"
How do I configure Apache to behave this way?
(Note that this is strictly an Apache question; I do not want to alter the script in any way.)

Further cementing its reputation for being the most capable
and versatile Blu-ray Disc player on the market, an upcoming PlayStation 3
firmware update will introduce DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio support to the console.
"PS3 was designed to enable delivery of new and improved
technologies like DTS-HD Master Audio," said Teiji Yutaka, SVP of Software
Platform Development at SCE. "So we are delighted to be able to offer this
capability to PS3 users."
Like PCM and Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA can deliver audio
presentation that are bit-for-bit identical to the original studio master.
According to the press release, DTS-HD MA has the capacity to deliver audio at
the incredibly high variable rate of 24.5 Mbps on Blu-ray disc, a rate
significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD MA also offers 7.1 audio
channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths.
Although DTS-HD MA isn't as commonly used in high-definition
movies as Dolby's TrueHD scheme, the added support from PlayStation 3 could
change things. Fox Home Entertainment has been one of the strongest supporters
of the DTS format, releasing such titles as Live
Free or Die Hard and Juno with
DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtracks.
Should 50 GB be insufficient room for a lossless audio
track, the option exists for DTS-HD High Resolution Audio lossy track which
streams audio at a high constant bit rate of 6.0 Mbps on Blu-ray discs, and is
also capable of up to 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depth
"We are extremely pleased that Sony Computer Entertainment is
adding the full spectrum premium DTS-HD Master Audio codec into the PS3 so that
more than 10 million owners of one of the best selling computer entertainment
systems can have the best sounding, most efficient and flexible audio
technology available as well," said Brian Towne, SVP and GM Consumer Division
at DTS. "DTS-HD Master Audio is fast becoming the must-have feature for high
definition entertainment enthusiasts."
The PS3 firmware, numbered version 2.30, is slated for
release on April 15. The new firmware will also enable access to a newly
renovated PlayStation Store.
quote: That's 550 bucks.
quote: Take 300, the PCM track is 48Hz 16bit, the bit for bit equivilent TrueHD track is 48Hz 20bit.
quote: The end result really is bit for bit, otherwise it could not possibly be called a lossless compression algorythm.
quote: it still uses MPL (same thing that is used for DVD-A and your original DD tracks
quote: The situation actually seems reversed today with BD, movies such as Spiderman 3 sound much better in LPCM, than they do in TruHD.
quote: You just need a receiver with HDMI 1.0
quote: As far as I am aware, HDMI 1.1 receivers do not support multichannel LPCM at all.
quote: "We are extremely pleased that Sony Computer Entertainment is adding the full spectrum premium DTS-HD Master Audio codec into the PS3 so that more than 10 million owners of one of the best selling computer entertainment systems can have the best sounding, most efficient and flexible audio technology available as well," said Brian Towne, SVP and GM Consumer Division at DTS. "DTS-HD Master Audio is fast becoming the must-have feature for high definition entertainment enthusiasts."
quote: You're right about the PCM supporting higher bit depths, however with no compression what so ever you're losing precious space that could be getting utalized for other things.
quote: I do know that TrueHD requires a shadow track in order to maintain backwards compability, is that what you were thinking of?
quote: so right there you *NEED* to have at least a DD track for backwards compatibility.
quote: As you may have noticed, there are not many BD movies that have had a video bitrate higher than 30Mbps. As the max combined bitrate for video and audio is 48Mbps, this would still leave a sufficient amount of space for any extras or other audio tracks that you want to add.
quote: Currently there are very few setups that can take full advantage of lossless audio (including LMPC) out there, so right there you *NEED* to have at least a DD track for backwards compatibility.
quote: There are still many time more that only accept multichannel audio off of an optical cable than with any form of HDMI or even multi-channel analoge inputs
quote: No I meant DTS-MA, TrueHD still uses the MPL encoding system (same thing used for DD) similar to that of DVD-AUDIO.
quote: No I meant DTS-MA, TrueHD still uses the MPL encoding system (same thing used for DD) similar to that of DVD-AUDIO. DTS-MA has the core track for backwards compatibility purposes, and the extended track for the 'rest' of the sound. In the end they both THD and DTS-MA allow for backwards compatibility, its just the method in which it is achieved.
quote: Second, there will be many movies encoded in just multichannel LPCM, as neither DTS-MA or Tru-HD are required by the BD spec, they are both optional formats.
quote: Keep in mind though the DTS core track is still kept as a lossless format, your player merely downmixes the track to lossy DTS 1.5 track.
quote: only because it's compressed you can have a version of the PCM file with greater bit depth (24bit v. 16bit) and still have MORE room left over for extra's
quote: DTS-HD/MA is a much better choice than PCM.
quote: Space and bandwidth considerations (as noted in my post above) are NEVER irrelivent even on bluray. There's a reason why Sony ditched PCM in favor of TrueHD for their movies, space and bandwidth savings! With DTS-HD/MA you get similar space/bandwidth savings plus the advantage of automatic high quality backwards compatibility. You lose that with PCM/TrueHD (entirly). At least with TrueHD though, you're still saving on disc space and bandwidth.
quote: Totally irrelevant on blu-ray. An uncompressed 5.1 PCM track for a two hour film takes about 3GB of space. If you increase the bitrate to 24/96, it might go to 6gb. That's only 12% of the disc. A DD lossy track added on is something like 500mb. If video is 15-25gb, that leaves about 20gb for extras. Absolute worst case scenario, LOTR extended will need its own extras disc. Gasp!
quote: PCM subtracts nothing from the cost of the disc because a DD track still needs to be licensed for compatibility reasons.
quote: TrueHD for their movies, space and bandwidth savings!
quote: No, it isn't. It adds cost to players and receivers to support it, it adds costs to movies because studios pay licensing fees, it delays an authoring process, it causes support and decompression issues (read: this article), increases processing power requirements, and generates gads of consumer confusion. All for a totally irrelevant and negligible space savings. Congrats.
quote: There is no difference between decoding the audio to LPCM in the player or the receiver
quote: 1) PS3 being internal decoding vs bitstream isn't a problem. They are two different ways to skin a cat. Many people that spend serious $$$ on their AVR or pre/pro would prefer to use the AVR clock and avoid jitter by bitstreaming. If you don't then don't worry about it. Jitter is real but it likely 20th on list of top 20 things that affect SQ.

UK: Ebay apologises to lesbian couple after banning pro-gay Christmas T-shirts
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
So in their quest to be everything to all people and restrict the sale of adult materials they are insulting and attacking mainstream sellers listing things under gay interest?
Having been in this business for a while it really doesn't surprise me. Even in so-called "modern" and "liberal" countries such as ours Ebay, Google, PayPal and other large companies still maintain extremist Victorian attitudes to sex and adult content.
Did you know, for instance, that Google shopping cart refused to do business with adult retailers? Or that PayPal misses out on billions of $'s every year because they refuse to work in adult media sales? Or how about the stupidity of UK law banning the use of the postal system for delivery of adult DVD's?
Yes, it's unenforceable, but it's illegal in the UK to have adult DVD's delivered to you through the postal system.
These are some of the things that make our countries, and these businesses, an embarrassment.
Well done, Helen Brearley and Teresa Millward for protesting to Ebay and having them reverse their behaviour!
Is it no wonder the CEO of eBay is Meg Whitman, a republican who opposes equal marriage and believes civil unions are perfectly fine to keep people in second class citizenship.
"Helen Brearley, spoke of her horror at the ordeal to the Huffington Post. – We were devastated. "
Slight overkill methinks. Ebay could be a bit more judicious over their censorship admittedly, but it's a bit of a storm in an egcup.
Predictably rubbish response
How bout we play the game of 'what they say is what they mean'…?
Life is much easier that way…
Then they should say what they mean.
People are "devastated" when they lose their family in a car crash.
Not when some vendor refuses to sell their pony bloody jumper.
I used to have an ebay shop and its automated system wouldn't let me have a shop category called gay and lesbian (I used to sell books), to get round it I had to put the words together (or use an ampersand I can't remember which). What infuriates me is that ebay allows so many dodgy things on their site. I am convinced that people use it to advertise prostitution and escort services, type in well worn used or well worn private and see what I mean. If someone was genuinely trying to sell a pair of shoes to achieve the maximum sale price they wouldn't show their feet and half naked bodies and describe them in graphic terms. Ebay doesn't give a damn.
Well said
I'd like to see eBay's policy on this – having had a number of items removed over the last few weeks – and requested to see this policy wording – I have of course been ignored.
Well said

Your rating for Virtualization in Campus
Project DescriptionThis is our final year project.The education system is same but the gaining educational knowledge of students is fully based only on the faculties stuff. So, the variation exists between students knowledge in urban and rural area. To overcome this problem, we propose the solution called 'Cloud Campus 'which can be used in upcoming years because there will be no institutions beyond traditional classrooms based on cloud computing. The educational content can be delivering to people at their doorsteps through the Cloud Campus "as a Service". It also makes possible the implementation of a Universal curriculum across the nation; enabling students across India acquire the same experience in education. Cloud Campus empowers the students to learn on their own terms at their own place, wherever and whenever they want it. By using Cloud Campus, learning process is not just limited to textbooks and enhanced through group learning.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class
By KBB.com Editors
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK is one of the more desirable premium roadsters, as it offers the advantages of both a hardtop coupe and an open-air convertible. Mercedes-Benz helped pioneer the retractable hardtop and the latest iteration operates with unwavering efficiency, capable of being raised or lowered in just 22 seconds. Beyond the SLK's gorgeous exterior, stunning interior and enthusiast-inspired performance and handling capabilities, the car's most attractive feature is its price. With a sticker starting well under $50,000, the SLK is well within reach of luxury car buyers seeking a fun second vehicle for weekend getaways or romantic moonlight drives. A tiny trunk and minimal interior storage might limit how far you go and how much you take, but you'll enjoy every minute of it.
If you love the idea of open-air driving but are concerned about the long-term reliability and security provided by a canvas soft-top, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK might be the answer to your automotive dreams. The SLK's retractable hardtop will last the life of the car, can't be cut open and operates with just the touch of a button.
Tall folks may find legroom a little tight, especially on the passenger side where the firewall can cramp big shoes. Though the price is reasonable for the make, there are now much less expensive hardtop convertibles on the market, such as the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Volkswagen Eos.
For 2010, Mercedes-Benz introduces the limited production SLK300 Diamond White Edition. The car features Diamond White metallic paint, two-tone interior with baseball stitching, sport suspension and 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. Fewer than 100 copies will be sold in the U.S., so you best get your order in fast.
The SLK350's 3.5-liter V6 makes 300 horsepower and can move the slick little roadster from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds. The experience is made...
... all the more pleasurable by a quick-shifting six-speed manual transmission; the optional seven-speed automatic is equally as pleasing. The SLK feels more composed on the road than previous generations. Its ride has definitely been improved, with less harshness over bumps and improved stability in tight turns. You'll find that the steering is precise but somewhat heavy, requiring authoritative input from the driver. With the top down, the AIRSCARF neck heater blows hard enough to take the chill out of the morning air, or the retractable hardtop can be locked in place, creating a cozy but quiet environment.
The AIRSCARF seat heating system blows warm air on the back of your neck and shoulders, keeping you warm when the air outside isn't.
Improved Clear Coat Paint
Improved Clear Coat paint is 40 percent more durable, helping to resist small scratching that appears after repeated washing and waxing.
Mercedes has done a wonderful job of organizing the SLK's interior without losing the look and feel common to all Mercedes products. The supportive bucket seats include the clever AIRSCARF option that blows warm air on the back of the neck, a nice feature to have when cruising on crisp autumn mornings. The SLK's retractable hardtop still eats up trunk space, but the design responsibly leaves some usable room for storing small luggage and valuables.
It's amazing what a few extra inches can do for a car. Compared to the first-generation SLK, the 2010 model feels downright spacious. The SLK's wide footprint gives it a low and athletic stance, and its SLR McLaren-like front end turns heads at every encounter. The perfectly aligned side bodylines appear as though carved from a single block of steel, with a gently-curved rear end that features flush-mounted cut-in tail lights and twin trapezoidal exhaust ports. The SLK looks as good with its retractable hardtop in place as it does when that top is tucked away beneath the color-matched hard cover.
The SLK comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), traction control, slip control, stability control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, front and rear fog lights, dual-heated power mirrors, AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD changer, dual front knee and side-impact airbags, leather seats, cruise control, leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Options include a seven-speed automatic with manual-shift mode, dual eight-way power seats with memory, heated seats, AIRSCARF, harman/kardon audio, hard-drive based navigation, HD Radio, bi-HID headlamps with washers, remote power top control, rain-sensing wipers and numerous dealer installed options.
The SLK300 has a 228-horsepower V6 that feels plenty peppy, but not rocket-ship fast. If you can swing the extra cash, the SLK350 is the way to go. If money is no object, you don't mind a harsher ride and you want the most in performance, the SLK55 AMG is sure to please.

"Got this 2006 with low miles and it is so fun to drive. I especially like the hardtop feature. No more ragtops to replace. Car is solid and drive smooth. A lot of features on the car but a little disappointed in the phone feature. Has controls for bluetooth but no bluetooth installed. Going to buy one off ebay for like 200. The car finish is excellent and the paint looks great still. A few rock chips but it is 10 years old now. The interior has held up great with no signs of wear or tears. Especially like the heated and cooling seats in this car. Power everything on this baby. The sound is solid when you rev it up. Brakes are excellent stop on a dime. The tires are going to be replaced but for old tires pretty good ride. Going to go with performance tires V or W rating. Yokahamas look good right and the prices are fines for replacement tires."

"Considering the street-race offers from rice-rocket drivers, my 2008 provides mental smiles and no need to respond. I've logged all but the first 4K of 36K miles and enjoyed each mile, with the top up or down. MB launched a winner with the sexy little 280SLK; each time I approach the sporty, red vehicle from the front I wonder if anyone else feels the exhilaration I do just by its appearance alone. Someone else may have my 280SLK, but only when they pry it from my cold, arthritic, ego."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"While I miss the quick acceleration of my previous BMW turbo-charged car, this has adequate power and handles better than any car I've owned in a while. I bought it recently at 5 years old but with VERY low mileage and it is impressive to say the least. The only issue I have had at all is that the audio accessory plug in the glovebox, using the Mercedes adapter cables, does not like to interface with 'anything'. I'm still researching and maybe I will find a solution. Otherwise, the car is comfortable, fun to drive, the top works perfectly and when it is up there are NO wind leaks at all - none. For a car this small, there is amazing room in the trunk for small to mid-size luggage with the top down and stowed. And there is a spare tire! The only reason I marked quality down to 9 is that the material or mounting of the console and some interior features causes some squeaks when pressed. My prior BMW had no interior squeaks at all. I really like this car and driving it is awesome!"

It's Walker Evans Time, And the Getty Is in Luck
Published: July 25, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
Evans was strongly resistant to the pioneering brilliance of Alfred Stieglitz, who championed photography as the pursuit of beauty and high art, often full of painterly effects. ''Walker Evans came along and said essentially that the greatness of photography is the ability to tell the unvarnished truth,'' Mr. Naef said. ''He stood as the champion of the objective, truthful photograph.''
Evans spent the last years of his life as a professor of photography and graphic design at Yale. During the Depression, he worked as a photographer for the agency that became the Farm Security Administration, documenting the workers and families and architectures in Alabama, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and other Southern states.
In 1934 Evans wrote to a friend about his aspirations to visit cities like Pittsburgh and Toledo, Ohio, photographing people of all classes as well as the automobile culture. He spoke in a cryptic way about what he wanted to portray: ''Architecture, American urban taste, commerce, small scale, large scale, the city street atmosphere, the street smell, the hateful stuff, women's clubs, fake culture, bad education, religion in decay.'' Evans told students years later, ''Prosperity is my aesthetic enemy.''
Evans himself cited the portraits of two early 20th-century photographers, Eugène Atget and August Sander, as examples of the ''valid flowering'' of photography in contrast to the ''peculiar dishonesty'' and ''quaint evocation of the past'' by other photographers, presumably Stieglitz.
One of the most famous pictures in the show is Evans's ''Sharecropper's Family, Hale County, Alabama, 1936,'' showing a desperately impoverished family, staring at the camera. The photograph contrasts sharply with Sander's 1912 portrait, ''Farming Generations,'' showing an old world and traditional middle-class German family, also staring at the camera. It's quite possible that the Sander photograph influenced Evans's Depression-era portrait.
In his 40's and 50's, Evans lived in Greenwich Village and on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He worked for 20 years at Fortune, where he was picture editor and contributing photographer.
His most famous work was rejected by Fortune. In 1936 Evans traveled with his friend the writer James Agee to illustrate an article about near-destitute sharecroppers in Alabama. The photos and text were austere and harrowing. Turned down by the magazine, the piece evolved slowly into ''Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.'' Initially the book met with indifference because of the onset of World War II, but it was successfully revived in 1960.
Evans himself spoke tersely -- and angrily -- about what he saw in the Depression-era cities and towns. His ''Subway Portraits,'' taken in New York from 1938 to 1941, often showed people seated alone: Whoever chooses to decide from these pictures ''that people are wonderful or that what America needs is a political revolution are at liberty to do so.''
Noting Evans's reputation for being dyspeptic, curmudgeonly and grumpy, Mr. Galassi said: ''If there was a bitterness, it was to a certain extent justified. On the other hand, he was extraordinarily responsive and supportive of younger artists, which not all great artists are. He was the first to recognize the importance of not just Robert Frank, but Diane Arbus and Lee Friedlander.''
