NYT Magazine redesign: for students, textbook "Design and Disruption"
Early word last week on the redesign/reinvention of The New York Times Magazine gave a good indication this wouldn't be just a cosmetic exercise, a shuffling around of fonts with a few new editorial features. Instantly I suspected this would offer great lessons for the coming week for my class, "Critical Thinking About Design and Disruption," at the University of Montana School of Journalism. (With NYT Editor Dean Baquet coming to speak to us April 16, and channels like The Upshot garnering great buzz for innovation and audience development, the Times is big on our radar this semester in Big Sky country.)
NCAA Champion magazine redesigns, rethinks, and scores!
Highly appealing new type, color and navigation systems. But wait, there's more! Smarter segmenting of stories, vastly improved conversational headlines, a tone of inspiring and mentoring readers, and stories that look forward rather than back.
One of the best things about taking a break from consulting to teach this semester at the University of Montana is that a number of recent clients are launching redesigns I can share immediately with my class, "Critical Thinking About Design and Disruption." This week, we're taking a deep dive into Champion, the quarterly glossy magazine of the NCAA, who brought me to their HQ in Indianapolis last year to help guide them through the strategy and mission of redesign and change management. Their fine work goes public just this month.
I occasionally do this sort of "limited" consulting where I'm tasked with bringing an internal group together, analyzing strengths and shortcomings of current approaches, and targeting specific values worth rethinking to push the magazine, organization, and/or brand forward. We look at editing strategies and voice, design tools, planning, internal communications, staff structure, and lots more "behind the scenes" stuff that can make or break a redesign. (The tough work of the actual redesign would later fall to the able hands of Creative Director Arnel Reynon, whose work I had admired for a few years.)
Champion had many strengths, including excellent design and photography on its covers and cover story spreads inside, so it wasn't something that needed to be blown up by any stretch. But when the project leader, Editor Amy Wimmer Schwarb, said they were pondering expanding the appeal of the magazine a bit beyond the NCAA membership, reaching out to more student athletes and fans of sports journalism in general, I agreed to help them think it through. I tasked them to consider how their story packaging, navigation and labeling, graphics, headlines, and even writing might be updated to appeal to both traditional and new readers alike.
What better way to teach "design and disruption" to my students than by showing and dissecting the physical evidence of change, happening right now in the industry?
Last Thursday, everyone in class got an older issue of Champion, pre-redesign, and I assigned them to analyze what worked and what might have fallen short in the old format. (And I ask the same of my class as I do of my clients: It's not enough to respond with "I don't know why, I just like it," or "this doesn't work for me" – articulate for me why the reader, the story, or the brand wins or suffers by what they see in the design or editing.) Then, this Tuesday, I gave them copies of the revamped Winter 2015 issue of Champion, hot off the press. Instantly, they said they were struck by the many improvements, as am I. Let's walk through some of them.
1) Headlines with a stronger, more conversational voice.
It's an almost universal criticism I offer up to publications I'm working with lately: your headlines are too often flat, they seem like a press release, they could be more compelling. Champion's headlines weren't terrible, or inaccurate, but sometimes they didn't exactly inspire the reader to come on in. When I worked with the staff, we dove into the content and talked through specific ways to make the magazine seem less like it was talking at the reader and more like it was talking with them.
I love their solution: let's not only write the headlines in a more compelling way, but display them as such. Shown here are two examples, at the bottom of each page reversed in blue:
Editors or publishers who bring me in for a design critique, or strategic tune-up, are surprised at how much of an emphasis I put on the writing of headlines. I tell them, reading weak headlines is like walking into a party and having the most dull person there greet you and start talking. I can't wait to move on to something else. It's one of the most important things we can work on in redesigning and rethinking a magazine. Read the full post »
Advice for young (and seasoned) journalists? Ask some very recent grads
Grizzly grads tell us loud and clear: Get ready for digital-first publishing, heavy on social media, rocked by (and enjoying) constant change.
[February 10, 2015, Missoula, Mont.] What an eye-opener it was for the journalism class I'm teaching this semester, "Critical Thinking About Design and Disruption," to see #AdviceForYoungJournalists top the Twitter trends over the last 24 hours. Research they'd produced just the week before, which we've edited into an eBook (downloadable PDF, via the link above and here) for release today, contains plenty of just that.
The initial assignment: contact a recent alum from the University of Montana School of Journalism, and report back on how each has navigated, or caused, the disruption rocking the news media today. Each report contains tips for, yes, survival, but also adaptation, perseverance, learning, growing, and thriving.
Their findings, and our class discussions continuing this week, have turned out to be the perfect kickoff for my course, which is the cornerstone of an endowed professorship here at the UM J-school (learn more).
In applying for the post, and considering topics I'd wanted to teach, I settled on the biggest issue reshaping the news media daily: disruption. Disruption covers, of course, the contractions that have rattled the mainstream media, but also the massive (and exciting) experimentation, platform expansion, product launching and risk taking we are seeing in all areas of news creation and delivery, from traditional publishers to entrepreneurs. I also wanted to cover design in a broad sense, going beyond graphic identity into the design of companies, cultures, workflow, editorial and revenue strategies, marketing plans, audience development.
Deadline is Jan. 30 for U of Montana Pollner Professorships
If you are a working professional doing great stuff in any craft area of journalism – writing or editing, visual journalism, digital, or the biz side – and have an interest in teaching and want to consider a terrific 4-month break out West, consider applying for the T. Anthony Pollner Distinguished Professorship at the University of Montana School of Journalism. Deadline is Jan. 30, 2015, for both installments: word folk are eligible for the teaching position in Fall 2015, and a visual journalism, digital or biz-side expert will teach in Spring 2016.

Prototyping a startup newspaper?
Here are 5 free tips to do it right
[Sample pages from a 28-page prototype of the Rocky shared publicly today. To peruse the entire thing and offer your own opinions, click here.]
[Dec. 9, 2014] Just across the Twitter has come news that "Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz is exploring the possibility of reviving the Rocky Mountain News." Hurrah, one might think! Someone believes in the power of print to draw readers and advertisers, and in making a dynamic local news market competitive once again. (A late update to the Business Journal story suggests the notion of a Rocky revival may actually be a ploy to negotiate a purchase of the competing Denver Post.)
In an unusual move, those behind the idea have shared a 28-page prototype online, to solicit comments from … well, who is not exactly clear. Online readers of the Denver Business Journal, where the story broke? Certainly in-person focus groups would also be conducted, with live people holding and using the actual product? Let us hope. If the design exists in PDF only, the idea will never advance.
I've produced newspaper and magazine prototypes for a couple of decades, including for the San Francisco Examiner, which Anschutz bought a year after its reinvention as a tabloid, and later sold. (We've never met.) And I've critiqued others' prototypes for years, privately, in seminar settings or often, after a client contacts me, not quite satisfied by what an in-house team has produced. But I've declined to comment much on my blog about others' projects in the planning stage, and I do realize this prototype is what I call "wet clay," and not a product of perfection. But since they've put the prototype online, and are seeking feedback, I figured, why not? 'Tis the season for giving. I really do want all smart newspaper endeavors to succeed.
Here are five free tips for anyone considering creating a newspaper prototype – startup, relaunch or redesign – for private or public consumption:
First and foremost, one would imagine that a newspaper startup would live or die on its appeal to advertisers. Read the full post »
One-year redesign checkup: healthy covers for a healthcare magazine
Occasionally I like to check in on my redesign clients to see how design elements and strategies for change have been adopted. Modern Healthcare magazine, which I redesigned in November 2013, just passed its one-year anniversary. One of the chief directives from Publisher Fawn Lopez: "Ron, we have got to do something about these covers." She demanded more clarity, distinction and impact, and I like to think she got it!
Covering healthcare topics visually can be a challenge, if you want to avoid cliches of stethoscopes and dollar bills, or mug shots of doctors; covering the administration, policies and politics of healthcare is even more difficult. While design and editing were made sharper throughout the book, I've been struck by how Art Director Pat Fanelli has brought her covers up to the next level. Here's a look at some of her work I admired, and why it succeeds:
Ebola: covers that stand out
How do you cover the big story of the moment (year?) when everyone else is on it, too? These covers on Ebola succeed in presenting visual ideas that are likely not to have been seen elsewhere. On the left, what I call a "type attack" (a type-only design solution) tackles an incredibly hard cover concept ("mistakes were made") and presents it with simplicity and drama.

Montana J-students fully immersed
in "Design and Disruption"
By Ron Reason
University of Montana School of Journalism
Spring 2015 T. Anthony Pollner Distinguished Professor
WELCOME TO THE LANDING PAGE for "Critical Thinking About Design and Disruption: The Spring 2015 Pollner Seminar" at the University of Montana School of Journalism. Here I post summaries of the focus of each week of class, with links to relevant blog entries, required reading and more. (This page is primarily for students not in my course and those in the outside world who'd like to follow along. Students in my course, please keep up with required readings and your specific assignments in our private Facebook page, and via the closed Moodle campuswide network.) For background on the generous Pollner family endowment, go here. For how I developed this course, and its intentions, jump here. For a week-by-week rundown of the class, just dive in now …
Week One, Jan. 27, 2015: Let's discuss in detail what we mean by design (it's not just visual) and disruption (it's not all bad). Ramp up your Twitter presence by following four new change instigators (individuals) and four brands or organizations that are stirring things up, and discuss what you've learned by following or engaging with them. Assignment: Connect with a recent alum and report back on how he or she has experienced, or caused, disruption in the news media.
RESULTS: Over just two class periods, my students produced 18 interviews with recent alums, which we compiled into the eBook "We ARE the Disruptors." Check it out more on the project, and download the PDF, here. Turns out UM students are getting jobs that they love, handling disruption with aplomb, and actually creating a lot of change as well. They had lots of tips for our class on how to hit the ground running – and how cool that on the day of our publication's release, #AdviceForYoungJournalists was the top trending topic on Twitter?
Week Two, Feb. 3: Let's go deep inside the state of alternative news media, particularly the Chicago Reader, which hired me to help rethink design, editorial and advertising strategy with one eye on revenue generation, the other on audience development. Three years later, the results: an increase and stabilization in print ad revenue, which still provides 85% of the brand's income, and a robust and growing slate of web, social media, event and partnership endeavors. Review my blog entries about the Reader's reinvention as preparation for a more scholarly dissection of the brand in class. (Well, scholarly to a point – we'll look at Reader editorial innovations such as Beer and Metal, a mash-up of craft beer reviews and heavy, or other, metal music videos or audio clips. Don't laugh – in 2013, Beer and Metal landed two of the Reader's top five most viewed blog posts for the year, and readers and advertisers are taking notice.)
Week Three, Feb. 10: How cool is this: My client Champion: The Magazine of the NCAA drops its first revamped issue this month, and my class is among the first to see it! All students get a copy of an older issue of Champion, to take a hard look at how they used to do things, and report back on its strengths and shortcomings. Then on Tuesday of this week, I share a copy of the new mag, with freshly stinkin' ink, hot off the presses, so you can dissect what's new and improved. We also discuss the role social media plays in the print magazine's strategic expansion of audience.
RESULTS: Class completed terrific written reports identifying potential areas of improvement for the mag, then found many of them to be reflected in the revamped publication. See an extensive review of what we covered in class, with many visuals from the new Champion, here. Lots of terrific infographic work, vastly improved and engaging headlines, lush photography and segmented storytelling.
Week Four, Feb. 17: What good is reinventing if no one knows about it? Time to switch gears to marketing, and look at campaigns I created within the last year for print and multiplatform digital relaunches of Modern Healthcare magazine, one of the most robust brands in the Crain Communications platform of niche business weeklies. (Next month, more from Crain's, as we investigate the real-time relaunch scheduled for March 30 of Crain's Detroit Business, which I've been working on since July.)
Remaining weeks and course syllabus: To be posted here soon.

When I was told UM was adding a second new Pollner professorship, one that would focus on the visual, digital and or business challenges of journalism, I thought: What is the course that the industry needs now? What's the kind of instruction students need in order to enter the job market and be better prepared to tackle, and enjoy, change? After being selected for the post, I came up with this pitch to prospective students:
Your first or next job or internship in the news industry will be with an employer engaged in serious conversations about change. (If they aren't, you don't want to be there.) Reinvention, redesign, innovation. Product expansion or contraction. Newsroom reorganization. Revenue generation or fundraising. Audience retention and expansion. Marketing, partnerships, alliances and events. This conversation may be organic and ongoing … or it may be urgent.
A solid journalism education empowers you to CREATE journalism, but not necessarily to RECREATE it, or reinvent, reimagine, redesign. It's a different skill set, more management and leadership than anything, and it's a tricky conversation for newcomers. You have to know how to take something apart before you can put it back together and improve it. You have to understand more about where the money, and audience, comes from.
That's where this course comes in. "Critical Thinking About Design and Disruption" will empower you to step up on Day 1 of your next gig, volunteer for (or even lead) that task force or committee exploring change, help brainstorm meaningful ideas about growth or survival, and do so with clarity and confidence.
Whether you intend to be a reporter, editor, photographer, designer, or digital producer, it will be to your advantage to be prepared for this kind of thought, conversation, and work.
My goal is to give students a real-world, global view of change, innovation, and tumult, critically dissecting case studies of news publication reinvention and expansion in which I've actively participated, recently or currently. (For example: these.) We will also discuss examples of change elsewhere in the media landscape Read the full post »
Redesigning your magazine
or newspaper? Start here.
By Ron Reason
Welcome to Design With Reason, the blog of Ron Reason Consulting. I'm passionate about excellence in editorial design, branding and strategy, and have collaborated with clients worldwide for more than 25 years. (Bio. LinkedIn. Client list.) I'm based in Chicago and often work virtually but travel to clients as needed.
What's kept me in business, even through turbulent times for editorial publishing? A creative yet grounded approach that puts great storytelling and functionality ahead of good looks and technology. My clients usually express this best:
"Ron showed a real understanding of the day-to-day editorial process and limitations – something I've found to be the biggest weakness of most other editorial designers. His designs are not only aesthetically pleasing, but actually help build a better publication that gives more (and more useful) information to the audience – in other words, he can actually help you improve your journalism, not just the look and navigability of your product." [Jonah Bloom, editor during my work over several years with client Advertising Age in New York City. For additional references, link here.]
Here you will find more than 300 blog entries with tips, cases studies, and tons of advice for approaching an editorial redesign – with the help of a consultant or even by yourself – or just improving your daily design, graphics, writing or editing. Magazine redesign? Got that covered. Newspaper redesign? All over it. Business and trade publications? Kinda specializing in that. Tabloids? Here you go.

Format busters! 3 clients tell stories
in graphic, novel ways
Going bold with 'comics journalism': The Reader, Creative Loafing, and U of Chicago research magazine Capital Ideas
[July 13, 2014] The work of three current and former clients reinforces the potential for visual journalism to tell complex stories in eye-grabbing ways – the Chicago Reader and Atlanta's Creative Loafing, both of which I redesigned several years ago, and Capital Ideas magazine, which I work with currently and which covers economics research at the U of Chicago.
Two of them this weekend snagged top national honors for this work. More than just eye candy or award bait, these approaches work for these publications for very specific reasons, which I put forth below. They reinforce my career-long mantra that dynamic publications need to present news in ways that transcend "just text."
* * *
First, congrats to the Chicago Reader, which won a number of awards this weekend from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. Among the awards for design or related work: The paper took first in the unusual category "Outside-the-Box: Innovation / Format Buster," for "How to Survive a Shooting," by Chicago reporter Darryl Holliday and illustrator Erik Rodriguez (aka The Illustrated Press).
Told in brief vignettes via graphic novel form, the report sheds light on the death of Marissa Stingley, 19, through the struggle of her mother Nortasha to accept the tragedy and keep living. Published in November 2013, the story is more timely than ever eight months later, as Chicago's gang warfare epidemic grows, sadly, in the media spotlight.
Why the graphic approach works here: The Reader, and the Chicago media in general, write a lot about gang killings in the city (and have for years). By taking the graphic approach, and telling the story from the angle of the mother's struggle to accept and survive, the paper offers an opportunity to "wake up" and engage readers who otherwise might gloss over yet another account of a South Side killing.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
As a congregational rabbi, I often see people in hospitals and other health care facilities. While each building may look different, the actual differences are rather minute. It was my privilege recently to visit a hospital that is a definite exception to that rule.
Several weeks ago I traveled together with Larry Babitts to Washington to visit patients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. With its patient population consisting mainly of wounded U.S. soldiers and a staff decked out in army-issue camouflage hospital scrubs and combat boots, visiting Walter Reed was an entirely new experience for me.
I wanted to visit Walter Reed with Larry in order to thank our brave soldiers for their service. I also wanted to let them know that American Jews truly appreciate their sacrifices in the war against terror.
Larry, a longtime friend of my synagogue, Kesher Israel Congregation of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran who was wounded in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. In addition to being active in a number of veteran-related activities, Larry regularly travels from Harrisburg to Walter Reed to visit, comfort and lift the spirits of soldiers who have been wounded on the battlefield.
While driving to Washington, Larry explained his dedication to this unique act of chesed (kindness). While serving as an infantryman during the Korean War, Larry had his legs shattered by an enemy landmine that killed some of his fellow soldiers.
Realizing his group had ventured into a heavily mined area, Larry could only writhe in pain, thinking no one would risk his life to evacuate him. But one brave soldier was determined to get Larry off of that Korean hilltop. Though he vividly remembers the sound of the soldier's voice, to this day Larry has absolutely no idea who the soldier was or even what he looked like.
Larry was eventually evacuated to the U.S. where he spent almost two years at Walter Reed recovering from his wounds. Unable to thank the soldier whose act of kindness saved his life, Larry reciprocates by visiting and sharing his story with a new generation of wounded soldiers. He does his best to encourage those whose experiences he can so clearly relate to.
We had a chance to visit with a few young soldiers and their families. The first patient we saw was a fellow Pennsylvanian who'd been wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq. While all his limbs were thankfully intact, he had suffered a severe concussion and faced a long recovery. Both he and his family appreciated our visit. (I realized I'd just read about this soldier's injury in that Saturday's newspaper. I told his family how amazed I was that the army had transferred him to Walter Reed by Monday morning.)
The second soldier we saw was a young officer whose vehicle had been hit by an IED (improvised explosive device) in Afghanistan. His wife at his bedside, he was recovering from having had one of his legs amputated below the knee. I was impressed by his positive attitude. He told us he had nothing but gratitude for the army's efforts. He had been injured about a year and a half earlier; army surgeons had operated more than ten times in an effort to save his leg.
While we talked, he thanked a visiting doctor for the hospital's efforts on his behalf. "No private health insurance would've paid for ten surgeries," he joked.
I hope the wounded soldiers and their family members took comfort from my visit, but I clearly saw how much they appreciated Larry's. In him they saw someone who understood their pain, anxieties and concerns – someone who spent two years recovering in Walter Reed and then went on to lead and enjoy a fulfilling life.
Obviously, encountering a caring human being with a shared set of experiences went a long way to provide those brave young men with a greater sense of hope, optimism, and comfort.
Visiting Walter Reed with Larry Babitts reminded me of a very important lesson. Many centuries ago our sages taught us that in the midst of a crisis, knowledge that others have dealt with a similar challenge can be a great source of comfort.

Pink rebloomer? Lots of pictures!
Here are pictures of a pink rebloomer in my yard. I have no idea of what it is. It is fragrant, although not overwhelmingly so. It has done okay even after a bunny attack during last winter.
For jackied...
'Queen Elizabeth' isn't a floribunda. It is actually a grandiflora. I believe, it was the first rose to ever have that classification.
Grandifloras grow more like Hybrid Teas than floribundas. They tend to make large blooms on long canes, just like HT's; but grandifloras will make rather nice sprays from time to time as well.
It has been many years, since I grew both QE and Climbing QE; but these blooms do sorta look like that old girl. The bush plant of QE does make loads of long-stemmed blooms, but they tended to open to fast for me. I was focusing on show roses at the time, and there were other pinks that were winning the trophies back in the 70's, so both QE and Climbing QE got shovel pruned.
Years later, a Queen of Show QE was the talk of the day. Everyone said the same thing, "That rose deserved to win Best in Show, because none of us has been able to grow one that looked that good and could get our blooms of 'Queen Elizabeth' to last long enough for judging." Most blooms of QE will open up very quickly, once they are cut from the bush and placed in water. The warmth of your home or show room will only push them open faster.

This is the time of year when there are lots of adverts shown on TV solicating donations for charities, which frequently end with the two words "thank you".
I've always felt there were too many charities in the world, and that it was hard to half-heartedly give money to one charity this month, one the next, and still another next year. On that basis I decided long ago to give my money solely to three charities. If I had money that was spare, or I felt generous that month, I would give it to one of "my" charities. Any other appeals I just ignored (with minor exceptions for one-off events like tsunamis, etc).
I won't claim credit for this idea, it came directly from my mom who does the same thing. I've given money to the same three charities for twenty years now. Maybe not thousands, but hopefully enough to be useful. Certainly more than I'd have given if my donation were split between more recipients.
Now I'm changing. As of next year only one charitable organization will get my pennies. The other two haven't done anything bad, wrong, or failed/succeeded (sadly), but it feels better for me to stick to a single recipient.
Happy Christmas.
(Details shouldn't matter, but to answer the obvious question the charity I've kept is the RNLI.)
If you're not into, or don't have the equipment to go bounty hunting, exploring in Elite Dangerous can be a lucrative way to make money. Here are some tips for Commanders wanting to have a go.
You will need a detail scanner which costs CR250,000. You can explore with just the basic scanner, but it's much harder. Assign the scanner to your secondary fire group. It you want to explore deeper space, then you'll need a fuel scoop, too. You can get by without a scoop to start with but it means you need to be careful not to stray too far from an inhabited system. It's a good idea to keep track of the last inhabited system you were at, if you start to run low on fuel, head back.
Pick a system where there's no navigation information available, look for the red system information icon in the galaxy map. Systems with an actual name rather than a designation are likely inhabited.
As you jump into the system, whilst still in witchspace, set the throttle to zero. You're going to arrive very close to the local primary and don't want to get too hot. As soon as you exit, press and hold secondary fire to charge the scanner, it takes a few seconds before firing. The first object you'll immediately pick up is the star, point the ship at it and hit your "target ahead" key. You'll see your ship start scanning it, this takes a little while. If your detail scanner picks up any other nearby bodies, you'll get an alert telling you.
Target each unexplored object in turn, working from closest to furthest away. Anything within 5ls you can scan just by rotating your ship and pointing at it, however at some point you'll need to start moving around the system.
Be careful near the star, it's easy to overheat your ship. If an object is on the other side of the star just point your ship away from the star to get some altitude and, when the heat levels decrease, gradually turn to get the target in your sights.
Learning to jockey the FSD's autothrottle is essential. If you keep overshooting objects then you'll just waste time. Once the object is in your sights, push the throttle forward until the power line turns blue and leave it there. Your ship will now automatically accelerate and decelerate for you. You'll need to get each object within range to scan, the distance depends on the mass of the object. Stars can be scanned from a long way out, gas giants from about 100ls, planets from around 20ls or 10ls and rock belts 5ls.
Not all systems contain planets, or they might be out of the range of your detail scanner. You can try looking round the sky for objects moving relative to the background, I don't bother and just move on the the next system.
Data you gather can be sold at any station provided you've travelled at least 20LY from where you got it. The least you'll get is a few hundred credits, however even a single star explored will usually net you around CR1200. More interesting systems, with high metal content planets, will net you much more. The highest I've seen to date is CR53000. There seems no point in hoarding the data, the price doesn't change regardless of distance.
Every so often, seems to be about 1 in 20, you'll get an interdiction attempt. It's up to you whether you fight or flee but if you lose your ship, you will also lose any navigation data you have not sold. If you get something juicy, it's probably worth making a deliberate trip to an inhabited system to cash it in.
As you travel around a solar system, you'll see blips on your scope marked Unidentified Signal Source. If you investigate these then you may be lucky and it's free cargo (albeit it will be marked stolen), or it may be dumped toxic waste, or it may be a trap. The traps are not usually hard to evade if you don't feel like a fight. Stolen cargo can be offloaded at the black market, you might have to carry it around for a while before you find one. I usually limit myself to investigating one USS per system, usually once I'm done with exploring. If it turns out to be a trap then I just jump to the next system.
Even though seeing the word attic reminds me too much of leaking roofs and CVS, I've switched to using the attic backup tool.
I want a simple system which will take incremental backups, perform duplication-elimination (to avoid taking too much space), support encryption, and be fast.
I stopped using backup2l because the .tar.gz files were too annoying, and it was too slow. I started using obnam because I respect Lars and his exceptionally thorough testing-regime, but had to stop using it when things started getting "too slow".
I'll document the usage/installation in the future. For the moment the only annoyance is that it is contained in the Jessie archive, not the Wheezy one. Right now only 2/19 of my hosts are Jessie.
On this day last year I we got married.
This morning my wife cooked me breakfast in bed for the second time in her life, the first being this time last year. In thanks I will cook a three course meal this evening.
In unrelated news the BlogSpam service will be retiring the XML/RPC API come 1st January 2015.
This means that any/all plugins which have not been updated to use the JSON API will start to fail.
Fingers crossed nobody will hate me too much..

HEY! First of all, unless your uncle was a Russian POW in German hands I don't believe a word of what you said about the tree bark. Second of all, I highly doubt that Big Decline's grandfather was in the SS or anything, chances are that he was just a Gefreiter in the Wehrmacht. To say that he somehow deserved being maltreated as a POW because of the actions of the Einsatz or the Vernichtstungsbefel is totally barbaric.
Third of all, at least the Germans had the balls to actually confront the Bolsheviks.
You wouldn't believe how straight-out evil people can be, when they are in a position of power. The tree bark bit is highly believable, especially towards the end of the war, when the entire country was littered with emaciated corpses. So I doubt that the foreign POWs were fed better than the common populace. My grandpa wasn't in the SS, btw, he was a regular private.
I find it interesting chess_gg, that you think I've ever mentioned capitalism in a negative light, especially in light of everything I've told you about hard work and perseverence from a social mobility perspective.
You want really hard to believe I am some entitled freeloader, because that's how you justify your ignorance. Truth is, I gave you nothing but a story of honest day's work for honest day's pay, like any other taxpaying citizen looking out for the future generation of immigrants. Then you go off about your personal hardships growing up, when truth is, you are no special flower, and apparently have no clue what it's like for a great majority of immigrants to move up in society. Your reading comprehension was quite impressive when you said "blah blah."
Unfortunately, your "blah blah" is a microcosm of American politics. People would rather box others into a nonrepresentative category, than actually listen.
Oh, I wouldn't be all that skeptical (whether they're in power or without it).
That's the way all people are. Everywhere. Who can listen to everything?
That is a good potential topic for historical research: The treatment and condition of Allied POWs in 1945 Germany.
They were treated as pesky, living pieces of evidence of all the horrid crimes which the government committed, which had to be 'removed' ASAP before the Allies found out about their existence and living conditions. Don't make no mistake: Common sense and morals were totally foreign to the Nazis. When the whole system cracked down in '45, they showed who they really were: Amoral, twisted m***erfuc**ers.
Did any normal children live
Well, that was thoughtful.
What in the world happened here? It went from trolls insulting others and writing on their walls to POWs eating tree bark.
Listen, there were some that respected my comments on the issue while others thought my behavior was uncouth. That's fine, guys, I can respect that. But abuse, constant insults, incessant name-calling and bullying have no place here, and Chess.com will deal with such behavior accordingly. I didn't make the rules, I just do my best to abide by them.
Good. Yes, I am just me. I can trace my ancestry on my father's side to Germany and my wife's family came from Germany, too. I think I have some of this German way of thinking and talking, you see.
If your respectless demeanor would be anyhow considered normal in my country, I'd have hanged myself a long time ago. Perhaps you misunderstood me (again): When I called you a 'twat' in that other thread and it got locked down by my request, I actually felt bad about you and thought to myself: "Maybe this guy has Jewish relatives who died or were abused during the war. Or he has a neighbor who is German who always steals his newspaper out of his mailbox. Maybe that's why he was so unnecessarily rude and spitelful towards me."
But I shouldn't have worried, because you are just you, as you just said and how it is evident by the way you address everyone who you deem as inferior to your wealth and/or intellect. And it's easy for me to accept that and make peace with you (in the Chess.com forums), as I will never meet you in person.
Chess_GG, I have deleted your comment where you attack Dolphin. If he were to report you might get muzzled for a while or lose your account and Chess.com would lose a valuable member of its community. Nobody wants that! So please, don't get sucked into a fight because it doesn't matter who starts it.
I had to lock the thread, gents. I couldn't even follow all of the story lines in the thread. The point of the thread was to see if Premium members could get away with abuse. The answer is no. Even if you are a Premium member you will be held accountable for your words.
Premium and Basic members alike can always click on the "Help & Support" link at the bottom of the page (http://support.chess.com/) and click on "Contact Support" button on the lower left (http://support.chess.com/Tickets/Submit).
Good lord, you sound like an adolescent. I don't speak blah. Are you sure you're as old as you say you are?
I suspect you aren't even from New York. How long have you lived here might I ask? You spent a few years studying @ City University living in a Brooklyn suburb, and you're a New Yorker? Based on your fixation with ethnic jabs, you don't even have a thick enough skin to be a New Yorker, because we speak that tongue like a second language. This stuff just happens when you live a crowded city with a bunch of different ethnicities. We give and take around here. You honestly sound like a tourist.
You know what, I'm done. I've said my piece. It needed to be said, if only to respect the memory of how much my parents supported me through childhood, the hard work they did, and to recognize that many have benefitted from stuff like financial aid after school programs here in the city.
It'd be a lie for me to say otherwise, which I suspect chess_gg is doing.
Immigrants are no more freeloaders than chess_gg is a New Yorker. So keep bashing my chess game, using cliched remarks like "have you taken your meds?"... because frankly, you're making yourself more to be an ignorant poser. Whether you want to believe it or not, YOU'VE benefitted, both in schooling and in your business endeavors. Did you enjoy your financial aid, your school lunches, your afterschool programs?
In New York, we all had some kind of assistance, unless you were too rich to get a book of lunch tickets and a bus pass, which any real New Yorker will know what the deal is.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
One last dispatch before I hit the road for good
After two years of reporting about northeast Winnipeg, this writer is hanging up his pen and notepad.
I've had the privilege of writing stories which touched the lives of individuals throughout this great area.
Having the opportunity to hear your stories and write about the things that impact you on a daily basis has been an honour.
As I prepare for a new career, there are a number of stories that stand out in my mind, ones I know touched the hearts and minds of community members.
Whether it was the possible sale of the former Kelvin Community Club site and its eventual redevelopment, concerns over the Chief Peguis Trail extension project, or school kids raising money for a community in Africa, they all mattered.
The passion residents displayed showed me what community is all about.
Even when someone told me they didn't like one of my stories, the conversation would quickly turn to a story idea they felt would be of interest to readers.
Over the last two years I've had the opportunity to meet a number of you who live in the area.
Whether you were someone who called or emailed me every week, or if we only spoke once, I always appreciated hearing from members of the community.
However, this is not necessarily goodbye, but more like see you later.
I grew up in East Kildonan and my wife and I recently bought a house in North Kildonan.
So you will still see me around, whether it's at the store or a community meeting. The only difference is I won't be sticking a camera in your face or asking for your comment.
The decision to leave this job wasn't an easy one, but in the end it was the right one for me and my family.
Regardless of whether I'm the one writing your stories or not, I still spent most of my life in northeast Winnipeg and will raise my family there. The issues which are important to you will be important to me.
Overall this has been a great experience for me. For someone who has written for both daily and weekly papers, I truly believe the best type of news is the community news I was able to bring you every week.
Thank you for trusting me to provide you with the community news that meant was important to you.

[NSFW Text?] Midnight Romp and a refreshing beverage (self.confessions)
submitted 1 year ago by BoobMilkTastesNice
My partner and I (both in out late 20s) were having a good'ol root but after about 10mins i was getting tired so i told her to ride me. She lean't in to kiss me while ridding the steam train. Then leaned back just enough so her E sized puppy's were in my face. I started sucking on her right nipple and it shot forward the milk of life. It tasted good.
Honest to god, It was the perfect recharge. I was having her push on down the pogo stick while i was sucking away on her milk canons that are the size of watermelons. Afterwards i felt refreshed and hydrated.
So long as the milk bar is open, I'll come back for more and give her a big tip.

Oh okay....I guess I'm more a prude then i thought because it's a confession to me. Though i enjoyed it, I find it embarrassing to admit (thus confessing)

Roku's Streaming Stick offers tons of apps, a real remote, and a compact design for just $50, making it the best streaming stick and an outstanding value.
We've limited the list to standalone streaming boxes.
While the number of devices that support it will probably grow, the Roku Streaming Stick is still a niche item when compared with every other Roku device.
The 3M Streaming Projector packs the full power of a Roku box in a pico projector, making for an undeniably cool gadget, even with its limited battery life.
The Samsung Wireless is the best mobile device for media streaming and data backup, but only Android users need apply.
The rapper mogul's celebrity-packed unveiling touted Tidal as the first artist-owned streaming music service of its kind, but it was scant on details about what that means.
We love binge-watching our favorite TV show and movies on Netflix as much as you do. These tips will help improve your viewing experience.
Madonna, Coldplay and Taylor Swift are among the big hitters backing Jay Z's lossless audio service, which is set for a major announcement today.

What flying bug just stung me twice at 10pm in the garden?
So there I was wearing a headlamp out in the garden well after dark (my only opportunity to water) when I suddenly hear some winged creature close to me and I feel "something" on my neck and shoulder. It wasn't immediately painfull but grew in intensity. All I knew at first was something made contact.
I see no stinger at all, just welts with a dot in the center. Can this be a bee or wasp well after dark? The other strange thing is the the intense sting was fairly short lived, now I just have a raised area and some dull pain not too bad.
Has to be a wasp to get me twice huh, but after dark? Seems strange. There are no stinging moths or anything are there?
Well I had the pleasure of being stung in the fore arm (though a long sleeve shirt) yesterday but a larger bee. Again no stinger? I thought you always had a visible stinger that broke off but maybe not. The welt looked the same.
This was mid-dusk as I attempted to get to the back of some corn. Probably was a bee or two originally that stayed out past their bedtime.
I didn't see what got me twice in the dark but the welt looked the same at the third time (when I saw a large bodied bee on my sleeve). I was surpised I didn't see a stinger.
I didn't go away totally, I had pretty good inflamation and burning for 10 minutes, I applied some kind of anti itch stick thing and it got a lot better. But I could still feel it if I rubbed it later into the evening.

Understanding Stye -- Symptoms
In this article
What Are the Symptoms of a Stye?
A stye is a red, hot, very tender swollen bump near the edge of the eyelid. A chalazion, on the other hand, is a somewhat tender, smooth, round bump typically situated in the midportion of the eyelid.

Saving on Eye Care: Bargains and Risks
In a tough economy, saving money is on everyone's mind. But when it comes to eye care, experts say that what you do to save money today may put you at risk of much higher costs in the future. "As people try to ration their income, they will often choose to forgo or skip their routine eye exam," says Samuel Pierce, OD, a Trussville, Ala.-based optometrist and a board member of the American Optometric Association. "It's penny-wise and health care-foolish."
Read the Saving on Eye Care: Bargains and Risks article > >
Call Your Doctor About a Stye If:
- Either type of swelling does not subside within a few days or seems to be getting worse.
- Eyelid swelling interferes with your vision.
- You have pain in or around the eye.
- You have recurrent styes. That can be a symptom of other chronic skin problems.

Mia Love announces she's officially running against Matheson — again
Rick Bowmer, Associated Press
SANDY — Mia Love made it official Saturday at the GOP state convention — she's once again challenging Utah's only Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Matheson, for his 4th District seat.
"You and I have some unfinished business with Rep. Jim Matheson," Love told the more than 2,500 delegates gathered for the organizing convention, recalling her narrow loss last November.
Earlier this year, Love filed her candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission and hired top GOP strategist Dave Hansen, who ran Sen. Orrin Hatch's successful 2012 re-election campaign.
Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, attracted national attention and support from high-ranking Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in her bid to become the first black Republican woman in Congress.
She told reporters she decided to make her second run for Congress official after talking with voters.
"I wanted to see if the momentum was there, if we could build upon what we had before," Love said. "People are getting behind us and are more determined than ever to win this seat."
Love said she doesn't know yet if she will face a challenge for the GOP nomination. "Hopefully not," she said. "But we'll see."
Matheson released a statement saying, "Now isn't the time for politicking. It's time to roll up our sleeves, work together and get things done."
He said he has "absolute confidence in my ability to win, as I did in the last election."

Naruhina Month , Day 9 : Lord of the rings
my contribution to the NH month :) from the scene of the movie
im not really good at coloring , so i prefered to keep just the lineart,but if someone wants to colour it , feel free to do so, just dont remove my signature :)
Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, ARCO Tower / MCI Building / Jacobs Tower / 707 17th Street, Denver, Colorado, 1981
searching old files i found this drawing i made, it was a request, hinata and naruto finding out that they are gonna be parents.
do not repost
I know I'm technically not supposed to post this but this song just makes me so Goddamn happy, I need to share it.
She didn't party
So we became friends in college
Unified against that frat boy shit
We built an amp and a theremin
She moved to Jersey
And I moved in with my parents
And I've only seen her two times since
I slept on the PATH
I slept on the 6
And now it seems that every time
that I go on a bike ride
I think about the people who I
never bothered telling
"Hey! I love you and I'd miss you
if something happened to you."
We should probably talk before you're gone.
We hung at punk shows
Talked about hardcore and touring
And went swimming at his parents' place
We ate In-N-Out
We went to the beach
He offered kindness
In return I offered silence
And I can't remember why I did
I only remember excuses
And now I'm thinkin' every time
It's quiet and it's night time
About 800 people who I
never bothered saying
"Hey! I love you and I'd miss you
if something happened to you."
We should probably talk before you're gone.
So swim with me
Let's get wasted on the beach
Let's remember how to reach when we feel lost.
ive seen so much hate in the fandom lately , so i wanted to give my contribution \ opinion.. Remember guys that if something \someone bothers you on the internet, you can always click the big X in the top right corner and turn off the computer and it will be all over, dont let stupid words on the internet get to you,

anyway lets just keep fangirling about those incoming canon naruhina kissesss guys!
A research pilot plant in Newcastle will trial world-first technology that turns carbon emissions into bricks and pavers for the construction industry.
The mineral carbonation technology copies and accelerates the earth's own way of sinking carbon.
The University of Newcastle, chemical giant Orica and carbon innovation company GreenMag Group have spent six years researching how to permanently and safely dispose of carbon dioxide.
Mineral Carbonation International (MCi) will spend $9 million over the next four years establishing the pilot plant at the University of Newcastle.
MCi chief executive Marcus St John Dawe says the solid product could be turned into various things including building materials.
"We could be making millions of tonnes of bricks and pavers which really could be green products for the future," he said.
He says the project is about permanently transforming carbon dioxide, not just storing it in the ground.
Orica chief executive Ian Smith says the technology will enable every power station in the world to capture carbon dioxide emissions and turn them into rock.
He says the company is already capturing some of its CO2 emissions at its Kooragang Island plant.
"So this would enable, not just us as a company, but all the coal fired power stations around the world to be retrofitted so they can capture their CO2 off-take.
"It's an alternative solution.
"If you look at just storing it underground that only works in certain geological formations.
"This can work wherever those power stations are." [x]
Naruhina month Day 13 : Festival
im late i know but i though ive already posted this drawing xD
if you guys loook closely you will notice that i love to draw details in my drawings, thats why they take me so long..

Pretty cavalier to just use line numbers in a conf file that will change in every single version upgrade. How about showing diff -u output, or otherwise giving a bit of context to the changes?
I agree with anonymous, just using line numbers is not helpful; these change between versions. It forces the reader to assume what stanza you are referring to. The header titles would prove far more useful.
Thanks to ganesh35 for this Howto! It was very helpful, using my Samsung CLP-550N as printer for my Win2000 virtual machine (VMWare) running on a Kubuntu 6.06 host-system.
But as I had some serious problem finally printing from Win2000 using IPP, I want to post my solution as a comment. Perhaps someone finds it useful.
Use the cups Web Administration tool to create a new Class (for exampleyou name it: Printer) and add your printer to this Class. Then edit the hosts file in your Win2000 system (you find it under \\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc) and add a new entry with the IP-Adress of the cups-server and the name of the computer running the cups-server (Example: 192.168.0.5 powermachine). Finally use the following URL in the AddPrinter Wizard of Win2000: http://powermachine:631/classes/Printer where you replace the italic parts with your settings. (The URL stated in the Howto http://IP-Adress:631/printers/name-of-printerqueue is NOT working with Win2000 but with WinXP)
If you still encounter error messages like "Printer is not connected to this server", then check your security settings / access settings in your cupsd.conf.
As I know the name of my computer, running the cups-server, I used this one in the hosts file. But, please correct me, if I am wrong, as the communication between the computers should finally be based upon the IP-Adress, I think you can use any name for the entry in the hosts file, as long as it is the same as used in the URL for connecting the printer with the AddPrinter Wizard. (Perhaps this may not work in pure Windows networks.)
Thanks for comments
cool beans, it worked. now we need an article on how to download the drivers from unix/cups/samb to a new windows xp client automatically.

One time two years ago, some skeezebag stole our phone right out of our purse. For three months we were phone-less. So, we feel fairly well qualified to testify that this video, about what it's like to be surrounded by friends with smartphones when you don't have one, is pretty much spot on.
Though no casting has been officially announced yet, many of the behind the scenes players on 'Star Wars: Episode 7' are starting to line up. It appears that J.J. Abrams' regular cinematographer Dan Mindel has joined the movie, and he's revealed that the latest episode of 'Star Wars' will be shot on film.
'Game of Thrones' season 4 seems to weigh heavier by the day, waiting until spring 2014 for a premiere that seems so removed from the recent Comic-Con 2013 appearance. Regardless, there can be no argument that HBO gave us its most visually impressive and jaw-dropping season to date this past year, so lets go back to celebrate 'Game of Thrones' season 3 with the full FX reel from SpinVFX!
We all know the dangers of texting and driving, but a new movie is really hammering that point home.
Coming in at number four on our list of "Reasons We Don't Want a Ferret,*" is "they will steal the wallet right out of your pocket." This video justifies that particular item's high placement on the list. A person who gets their wallet stolen feels like a fool. A person who chases a ferret to get their wallet back has pretty much lost all dignity.
The Soroptimists International of Hamilton weren't satisfied with the Daly Day "Kiss the Pig" contest. Last year, they successfully kicked off the first ever Wiener Dog Races in Hamilton.
The course was a sprint and the crowd was overwhelming
Ariel Castro is pleading not guilty to multiple charges for the kidnapping and raping of three women in Cleveland. In the meantime, his alleged victims, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight are taking to YouTube to thank the public for its support and respect for their privacy.
As the investigation of Saturday's crash of Asiana Airlines flight 214 proceeds, officials are examining exactly what the crew did in the moments leading up to the deadly incident.

(1-0, 0-0 Big South)
(0-1, 0-0 Big South)
1:30 PM ET, September 2, 2006
Top Performers
Passing: C. Drafts (CHSO) - 156 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: K. Harper (TEM) - 10 CAR, 29 YDS
Receiving: M. Price (CHSO) - 9 REC, 93 YDS, 1 TD
CLINTON, S.C. (AP) -- Collin Drafts was 14-of-22 for 156 yards
and Maurice Price caught nine passes for 93 yards as Charleston
Southern broke an 11-game losing streak to Presbyterian with a
21-13 win Saturday.
The victory marks only the second time the Division I-AA
Buccaneers (1-0) have beaten the Division II Blue Hose (1-1).
A 59-yard interception return for a touchdown by Josh Mitchell
with 2:08 left sealed the win for Charleston Southern and were the
only points of the second half.
Presbyterian gained 380 yards and had 20 first downs, compared
to 210 yards and 12 first downs for the Buccaneers. But the Blue
Hose had four turnovers, compared to one for Charleston Southern.
Mitch Doolittle went 16-of-32 for 186 yards and ran for a
touchdown for Presbyterian. But he also threw three interceptions.
Backup Grayson Mullins completed all three of his passes for 22
yards and Justin Durant caught five passes for 96 yards for the
Blue Hose.
Presbyterian moves up to Division I-AA next year and will play
in the Big South Conference with the Buccaneers.

oh i adore this. you couldn't have placed that small boy better if you had tried. i love the pool of liquid blue light that drowns his shadow. everything about this is just stunning yoshi.
incredible and surrealistic, great!
jace `thanks dude. :) there's something very special about kids in museums. they haven't yet learned to process art so it just hits them right in the gut, and you can just watch their jaws drop, and their eyes widen, and something happens to them. the older we get, the more we optimize to have as little as possible happen to us. kids then become conduits through which we remember.
lorrie `.......=0........;P.......hehe, thanks. i can't take too much credit for all that as it's hard not to get an interesting composition in this building, but i'm glad you like.
lauren `hmm, i hadn't noticed the blue around boy before, but now that you've mentioned it, it looks like an extension of the space reaching out to absorb him. yes, i like it. thank you ':P
scandiholegg `surrealistic indeed... thanks.
This is brilliant. I really like the somber tone, and the feeling of wonder.
- Found in the still lives pool
whoa, awesome. I love how the kid tilts his head and looks at the sculpture!
Wow, amazingly good. Combines your intense graphic eye with a really powerful human moment. Love how the window graphically catches 'wonder' as it sings upward. Did you buy that lens or is it a rental?
« Near to the perfection » is a good summary for the « gorgeous » concept.
► You are invited to post this gorgeous photography in the
ideas playground pool !!!
A superb image, wonderful composition and perfect position for the boy.
You must be kiddin!!! Amazing... but I have no words to express my admiration. Perfect, at least...
thanks again for your words, everyone. `:O
rob `yes, sir, this lens is indeed all mine. i found it in a local wolf camera some months back, just sitting on the shelf. no one working there knew what it was, or how rare it's become. i wasn't really looking to buy it, but i didn't like sigma's 30/1.4, and the 17-55/2.8 was too uncomfortable and too slow (and its personality too much like a pop song), and tamron's beautiful lenses can't focus worth a damn, so i was left with the 28/1.4. i figure that if i don't like it, i can sell it on ebay for a hefty profit, and pick up and k10d. but alas, it hasn't left my camera yet. :)
Very clean. Nice one.
thats just awesome. nice job.
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Coolest Damn Cool Photographers in the World, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
