Links roundup for 14 September 2012
Submitted by Claudia Rebaza on
Here's a roundup of stories about documenting your sources that might be of interest to fans:
- An article about fanfic history published in The Guardian raised a lot of commentary from readers and writers across the blogosphere. Making Light took issue with the "section on fanfic in early SF fandom" calling it "full of nonsense, so much so as to call the rest of the article into question." Oddly, nowhere in Morrison's lengthy piece covering hundreds of years of history, as well as obscure terminology and ad-hoc psychological assertions about the writers' motives, were any sources for the article cited. Also omitted was any discussion of who was doing much of the writing -- something rectified by Foz Meadow's article at the Huffington Post. "Not long ago, I wrote a piece on why YA sex scenes matter -- in a nutshell, because they're pretty much the only form of sex-positive, female-centric sexiness on the market. In that context, then, the fact that the vast majority of fan fic writers are understood not only to be women, but young women -- something Morrison utterly fails to mention -- cannot help but be intensely relevant to any discussion of sex in fan fic. Culturally, we've spent thousands of years either denying, curbing or vilifying the female sex drive, to the point that even now, the idea of pornography geared towards a female audience is still fundamentally radical." Such gender erasure also explains why female centered fan gatherings remain vitally important for fandom as a whole.
- Certainly writer Jonah Lehre probably wishes fans weren't so concerned about documentation. As discussed by The Learned Fangirl, "Michael Moynihan, a huge Bob Dylan fan, asked the questions that we should all ask about where information comes from, and thereby caused the end (or at least the extreme shaming) of the career of a well-regarded writer." Yet the media hasn't learned much of a lesson from the incident. "But for all of the talk about how bloggers and tweeters aren't 'real journalists', traditional journalists are on the hook for not appropriately citing to their sources. In a random sample, taken from Google news of highly cited and 'top news' stories on this situation, less than a quarter included a link to the Tablet story that broke this. Shameful!"
- The Tor Publishing website recently gave a boost to a vid celebrating decades of fandom, though its fannishness was perhaps most clear in the meticulous tracking of its content. "Questions were crowd-sourced, moments were captured, and a lot of love ended up on the screen. They even have an incredible spreadsheet breakdown of exactly what went into the where, and why." Though the vid centered only on western visual media fandom, one would have to concur with "[w]hat better way to chronicle decades of geeky dedication than through a song chronicling decades of history?"
If you want to contribute to the fannish culture of documentation, don't forget about Fanlore! Contributions are welcome from all fans.
We want your suggestions! If you know of an essay, video, article, event, or link you think we should know about, comment on the most recent Links Roundup. Links are welcome in all languages! Submitting a link doesn't guarantee that it will be included in a roundup post, and inclusion of a link doesn't mean that it is endorsed by the OTW.

But don't rush to submit your E-rated Vampire Diaries omegaverse epic quite yet; via the official press release, "Amazon Publishing will work with [the rights holders] to establish content guidelines that balance flexibility and openness for writers with what's reasonable for the franchise." Which is only to be expected, of course. If not official, Amazon-published fanfic will at least be official-ish in that they'll sort of have the stamp of approval of The Powers That Be on them. And, to put it lightly, characters get up to some crazy, non-family friendly stuff in fanfic. There have to be some guidelines. (Please let proper grammar be another one, please please please…) —

Second straight day of snow in the DC area. It's not like we're getting much. Not enough to be pretty or save us from going to work. Just enough to make getting around a pain in the ass, as people in this area simply can't drive in weather. Of any kind. Especially not snow.
Danbo and I are both quite done with winter.

text: Chateau Du Tariquet VSOP Armagnac is an attractive amber colour. It is richly powerful and concentrated nose gives the aroma of warm bread with a hint of toast and gingerbread. This develops with aeration into superb aromas of a bakers oven where rancio and candied fruits appear. In the mouth it is almost too smooth and round; there is no sensation of alcohol, but only woody vanilla. The finale is well developed with a recurrence of macerated stone fruits. |

Samsung Galaxy S3 hands on review

Samsung Galaxy S3 hands on review: build
The pleasantly rounded Galaxy S3 instantly feels better in our hands than the Galaxy S II ever did – where Samsung's insanely popular S II admittedly seemed a bit flimsy and cheap, the slim (8.6mm) S3 is one hell of a premium bit of kit. It's light at 133g but still feels expensive and sturdy.

The long-awaited day was more than a year-and-a-half in the making. Saturday, Nov. 24, beer and wine sales opened at the Longboat Key Public Tennis Center.
So, did Longboaters' cups overfloweth on the first day of alcohol sales?
Not exactly.
"We sold two beers," said Kay Thayer, manager of the Tennis Center.
Still, for Thayer, the glass is half full. She believes that sales will pick up during tournaments this week and next week and feels excitement that the moment is finally here.
"It's a convenience, and I think something that people will be able to enjoy," she says.

Warrington May Borrow For Open Space
Chairman John Paul says the budget has been tight for a few years and park maintenance has been a problem. He also says now should be a good time to buy land before the housing market recovers and new construction starts, pushing up the price.
A question on the November 6 ballot will ask the voters to approve the borrowing through a bond issue. If they do it will cost the average homeowner about $27 a year over 20 years.
Warrington still has about $350,000 in Bucks County open space funds that must be used in the next year or so, and the township money would help it stretch much farther.

Tories slump at Tunbridge Wells by-election
Friday 15 June 2012
Related articles
The latest council by-elections saw a close call for Tories in a
traditional stronghold with near misses for both Liberal Democrats and
Conservatives' majority tumbled to just 149 over Lib Dems with arch eurosceptics only 22 votes further behind in third place at Kent's Tunbridge Wells East division in the town which is home to the legendary "disgusted".
Tories may be most concerned by Ukip's 15.4% surge since 2009 - when the party came second in European Parliament polls.
If this trend was repeated over coming weeks it could boost Conservative calls for a referendum on the EU, increasing strains on the coalition Government over the Eurozone crisis.
Ukip came second to Tories at Iver Heath, South Bucks District and to Labour at Failsworth East, Oldham Borough.
Plaid Cymru failed to recover its overall majority at Gwynedd County, North Wales when independents held on at Bryncrug/Llanfihangel. The scheduled May 3 contest for the ward had to be postponed when no candidates were nominated.
East Northamptonshire District - Barnwell: C 412, Lib Dem 130, Lab 101. (May 2011 - C unopposed). C hold.
Kent County - Tunbridge Wells East: C 1171, Lib Dem 1022, Ukip 1000, Lab 321, Green 109. (June 2009 - C 2372, Lib Dem 1532, Ukip 585, Lab 324). C hold. Swing 6.7% C to Lib Dem.
Gwynedd County - Bryncrug/Llanfihangel: Ind 212, Plaid Cymru 136, Ind 66, Ind 51, Voice of Gwynedd 35. (May 2008 - Ind unopposed). Ind hold.
Oldham Borough - Failsworth East: Lab 1199, Ukip 209, Lib Dem 109. (May 2012 - Lab 1585, Lib Dem 283). Lab hold. Swing 1% Lib Dem to Lab.
South Bucks District - Iver Heath: C 404, Ukip 196, Lib Dem 62. (May 2011 - Three seats C 872, 844, 800, Lib Dem 437, 221). C hold. Swing 4% Lib Dem to C.
Wealden District - Frant and Withyham: C 775, Lab 183, Lib Dem 116. (May 2011 - Two seats C 1391, 1210, Green 708, Lab 415). C hold. Swing 9.3% Lab to C.

Electronics: Dweezil with out-of-phase switching
Hardware: Nickel PRS stoptail, nickel vintage style tuning pegs and Schaller strap locks
Set-up: D'Addario .010
Case type: Private Stock leather
Limited to a run of 50 guitars, the new Dweezil Zappa Private Stock semi-hollow model features a unique Custom 24 mandolin shape and is modeled after the guitar Dweezil designed with the Private Stock team. The dramatically different shape of the mandolin inspired body is a departure from any guitar body shape PRS has ever created, and the rowdy bass and treble clef inlay motif pays homage to the Zappa family legacy of eclectic playfulness. Dweezil's personal model and the limited run of 50 are, however, unmistakably PRS.
"It was really fun-and easy-to work with the team at PRS. I spoke with them a few times at various stages of the instrument. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. It's a great experience to build something from raw pieces of wood into the finished instrument. I never had the opportunity to do that before," said Dweezil.

My Compilation of On-line Treaty Databases
In 1973, Hans Blix and Jirina Emerson edited the Treaty Maker's Handbook to help newly emerging States appreciate, post-decolonization, the intricacies of treaty-making as a matter of both domestic and international law. One of the work's lasting legacies was the inclusion of sample provisions drawn from existing treaties on various treaty topics such as participation, entry into force, reservations, and amendments. The volume became a staple among treaty negotiators, and continues to be used today even as it becomes increasingly dated.
With due credit given to Blix and Emerson, one of the key features of my forthcoming book – The Oxford Guide to Treaties is a new set of treaty clauses. The volume includes 350 clauses taken from an array of existing treaties on 23 different treaty issues, such as the various ways treaty clauses may define a treaty's object and purpose, delineate territorial and extraterritorial application, identify a treaty's relationship to other treaties, or authorize simplified amendment procedures.
I found some of these clauses the old fashioned way, using multi-volume hard-bound sets of books like those edited by Bevans or UST (the US Treaty Series). But, far more often, I did my research on-line. As a result, I've now become a bit of a connoisseur of treaty databases. For years, a new major, multilateral treaty meant a new web-site dedicated to that treaty, which invariably includes its text and other relevant documentation (Final Acts, Records of the Meeting of the Parties, etc.). Bilateral treaties have long been much harder to track down. Today, however, States and International Organizations (IOs) are increasingly making all their treaty commitments publicly available on the Internet. In some cases, these treaties are organized in multiple ways, not just chronologically, but also by party, specific treaty features, or even, in a few cases, with full-text search capabilities. As a result, almost every treaty now ends up on a web-site somewhere. This development is a welcome one for both practitioners and scholars. Practitioners can now easily access texts that may implement the relative rights or duties of their clients (whether States, IOs, corporations or individuals) while scholars can get a better sense of the full panoply of modern treaty practice, whether for purposes of isolating specific practices or testing propositions as part of the new empiricism in international law.
In a future post, I plan to offer my unabashed (but admittedly unscientific) review of some of the major treaty databases, including the good, the bad, and (sometimes) the ugly. For now, I wanted to pass along a listing of public treaty databases, figuring folks might appreciate having them all collected in one locale. I've not listed databases where you have to pay to get the treaty text (I'm looking at you IMO) because I question why a treaty text negotiated among nation states cannot be publicly available at least in some form on-line. I've also limited my listing to those sites in English, not because they're better, but because my facility in non-English texts is less than ideal. I would, however, welcome comments on additional databases with which readers are familiar in the hopes that this post might become a common repository for those interested in doing treaty research of one form or another. Following the jump, I've listed alphabetically (and with hyperlinks!) 24 treaty databases readers may wish to consider visiting in their future practice or research:

Most funeral homes in Fort Collins and surrounding areas offer their services and facilities for no cost or for a small fee. If you choose burial, there can be fees for the casket, flowers, or grave space at the cemetery. There may be other fees depending on the services you choose. If you choose cremation, then fees are minimal. If you decide to have a service at the funeral home's chapel or at a church, there may be fees for flowers and musicians, for example.
Because all the funeral homes offer the same basic services for burial and cremation, it is best to contact them directly to discuss your specific needs.

Local protest of multinational agribusiness giant focuses on genetically modified salmon
In the blink of an eye, a section of a Washington state bridge—and the cars on it—was gone. The question after the collapse: Can it happen in Alaska?
Assemblyman Dick Traini sent a request to the city managers office Friday morning asking for a breakdown of how the $400,000 grant -- the funding for the ship's trip -- was spent.
"Large quantities in a short period of time is when we start to see people have symptoms from these drinks," said Dr. David Cadogan.

We all wish you great luck.
It would be impossible to pull Eranikus from the Dream should he refuse. His intentions, however, require him to enter our world. He seeks to destroy the living manifestation of Malfurion. To do this successfully would mean an end to one of the most powerful allies of the Dream. The Nightmare would wholly consume all that would remain should Malfurion fall...

Gravadlax makes a stunning prepare-ahead starter or centrepiece for your New Year festivities
Recipe uploaded by
Difficulty and servings
Serves 8-10 as a starter, more as part of a buffet
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 40 mins
Plus curing- Tip all the ingredients for the salt mix into a food processor and whizz until everything is combined and the spices are completely ground.
- Stroke your hand along the salmon fillet to check for any stray bones. If you find any, pull them out with a pair of tweezers or small pliers.
- To skin the salmon fillet, lay the fish skin-side down with the tail end closest to you. Insert your knife at an angle at the tail end and cut through the flesh to the skin. Turn the blade so it's almost flat against the skin, then take hold of the skin with the other hand. Pull and wiggle the skin towards you so as to cut the fillet away. Halfway through removing the skin, hold the knife firmly and flip the fillet over. Gently lift the fillet away from the skin and discard the skin. Trim away the thinner part, plus any fat around the edges, so that the fillet has an even shape.
- Scatter about a third of the salt mix onto a large tray in a line about the size of the salmon fillet. Lay the salmon, skinned-side down, over the salt and pack the rest of the salt on top. Cover with cling film, put another tray on top and weigh it down with a few cans or an empty casserole dish. Leave in the fridge overnight or for at least 10 hrs.
- Under cold running water, wash the salt mix off the salmon fillet, then dry with kitchen paper. Finely chop the dill. Lay the salmon on a board and cover with the dill, pressing it down to pack it onto the salmon.
- If serving as a plated starter, use a sharp carving knife to cut the salmon straight down into fine slices, allowing 6 slices for each plate.
- To make the horseradish cream, whisk together the cream and crème fraîche. Add the horseradish, lemon juice and seasoning, then continue to whisk until thick. Dress the salad leaves in a little olive oil. You are now ready to plate up.
- Arrange a neat pile of baby salad leaves in the centre of each plate. Curl slices of the salmon into bow shapes around the leaves. Continue all the way around the plate in a petal fashion. Use 2 teaspoons to make small quenelles of horseradish cream and spoon each into each bowl.
A cheaper version
For a much cheaper version of this dish you could also use the salt mix to cure mackerel fillets. Simply cut the fillets into squares and serve it with the salad leaves and horseradish cream.
Using up the leftovers
Any leftover salmon can be used to make a salmon tartare. Mix about 200g of diced gravadlax with chopped shallot, English mustard and lemon juice to taste and serve with toast.
Making this recipe for fewer people
I think gravadlax is the perfect starter for a large number of guests, or as part of a buffet, but it can be made for fewer people using a 500g piece of salmon and half the salt mix. For a buffet, I would cut the salmon into longer slices and serve it with a potato salad along with the salad leaves and horseradish cream in separate bowls for everyone to help themselves to.
Curing for longer
My gravadlax is very lightly cured as I only leave it in the salt mix overnight, because I like the sushi-type texture of the salmon - still a little raw and not too salty. To cure the salmon for longer, which will give it more of a smoked salmon-type texture, keep the fish in the salt cure for up to 2 days before rinsing and slicing it.

Incredibly easy to prepare and so so so delicious! The final outcome is really top cuisine standard. I left it for two days as I wanted a smokier taste but I'll try it for one day next time around just to see the difference. I made half the amount suggested and it worked out great. One word of warning - don't be alarmed by the amount of water that comes out of the salmon into the tray after even just one day, it's quite normal.

Mandi commented on this recipe
The Swedish Food Safety Authority has for quite a few years recommended freezing the salmon before or after curing (gravning) in order to kill any parasites in the fish. This recommendation has now been removed for cultivated salmon. They do still recommend it for wild fish and other fish than salmon. I have frozen the salmon for at least 48 hours and then thawed it very slowly since I first read about this.

Series 2 of the BBC Radio 4 narrative comedy featuring Beauty Oolonga's adventures as a careworker, starring Jocelyn Jee Esien.'Beauty of Britain' breaks the embarrassed silence about what happens to us when we get old and start to lose our faculties. It shows the process in all its chaotic tragi-comedy but it does so from the point of view of a migrant worker, Beauty, whose Zimbabwean Shona background has taught her to respect age. Beauty sees Britain at its best, its worst and also sometimes without its clothes on running the wrong way down the M6 with a toy dog shouting 'Come on!'In this second series, Beauty's employer, the Featherdown Agency, sends her to provide care for those who need it - and some who don't, but all of whom have relatives with guilty consciences.In Episode Five, 'Mission Command', Beauty struggles with an irascible gentleman and the Featherdown office struggles with Social Services' new pilot scheme for elder care in which the 'Assessment exercises are based on the battle principles of General von Moltke of the Prussian Army.'Jocelyn Jee Esien heads up a starry cast that includes Oscar James and Morwenna Banks. Written by Christopher Douglas and Nicola Sanderson, it is produced by Tilusha Ghelani.

How much will AMD's new FX-9000 desktop processors cost?
An online retailer priced the forthcoming chips between $500 and $1,000 before removing them from its site. Would AMD really charge that much for its top-performing CPUs?
John Morris and Sean Portnoy deliver straight talk about notebook and desktop computers.
John Morris is a former executive editor at CNET Networks and senior editor at PC Magazine.
Sean Portnoy is a former executive editor at Computer Shopper magazine and editor at CNET Networks.
An online retailer priced the forthcoming chips between $500 and $1,000 before removing them from its site. Would AMD really charge that much for its top-performing CPUs?
The new Alienware 14, 17, 18 models are built from anodized aluminum and magnesium alloy and feature Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 700 series notebook graphics.
The new MacBook Air may look a lot like the old MacBook Air, but the battery life improvement delivered by Intel's fourth-generation Core processor looks significant.
With the launch of Intel's new Haswell processors, manufacturers rolled out a bevy of new notebooks that made use of the new chips at the annual trade show.
The company claims it's the most secure business notebook on the market.
Nvidia did not announce any new products at Computex, but it nonetheless had a very high profile notching wins for both Tegra mobile chips and its latest GeForce GPUs.
This week has been all about 2-in-1 devices, but Asus is attempting to top that with a system meant to do triple duty as tablet, laptop and desktop. The Transformer Book Trio was one of several products Asus announced at Computex.
After many false starts, Intel may finally be gaining momentum in mobile with several wins in tablets and hybrids announced this week at Computex, and new Silvermont processors and a global 4G LTE modem on the way.
AMD announced desktop versions of its latest Richland A-Series processors and gave the first public demonstration of its upcoming Kaveri processor at the Computex tradeshow today.
Intel officially unveiled its fourth-generation Core processors for a "new breed of 2-in-1 devices." At the same time the company said its upcoming Silvermont Atom would be extended into notebooks, convertibles and all-in-ones starting as low as $400.

How Boras wants to improve the World Series |
Written by Bjoern Hartig (Contact & Archive) on May 06, 2009
Via Fan Nation: In an interview with the playboy magazine, uber-agent Scott Boras has shared his ideas on how he would change the World Series: "I'd modernize it, make it five out of nine games, with the first two in a neutral city. Announce the MVP and Cy Young awards at a gala held between the playoffs and a new World Series weekend. Move the home-run contest from the All-Star game to that week too. "The gala and home-run derby would lead to Game 1 of the Series on Saturday, with Game 2 on Sunday. Then the Series would go on with the final seven games in the Series teams' cities. This way, different places get part of the Series. I want the World Series in Pittsburgh, Texas, Seattle. Teams in those markets would sell more season tickets. World Series weekend would be a major stage for corporate events; it could advance the game to the next level." I can't say I'm too fond of these suggestions. I don't care much about the gala, although the home-run derby at the end of the season could work if you invite the season's home run leaders. Other than that, extending the series to nine games sounds like a pretty bad idea. First, from the top of my head I would guess that a game nine is even more unlikely than a game seven, which means that it reduces the possibility for drama, but nine games is simply too long anyway. And why play the first two games in neutral cities? Not only does it take away from the flair (for lack of a better word) of the series, why would this sell more season tickets in those cities? I don't see it. Likewise, why exactly would "a major stage for corporate events" "advance the game to the next level"? Which level is there to advance to? 200 million dollar contracts? Oh right, we already have those. Personally, I don't think the World Series needs to be fixed. Other than letting the games start early and reduce the number of off-days to make sure the last day of the season does not fall into November. |

"..It's common knowledge the 1969 Vietnam anthem "Give Peace A Chance" includes the voices of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and one Timothy Leary.
The couple invited the "pied piper of psychedelic 60′s" to Montreal to record the track as part of their bed-in protest series – those famous week-long demonstrations that weren't always taken seriously by the press -
- but remain the source of some of the most iconic Lennon/Ono imagery.
This morning Boing Boing let us know of a newly discovered artifact from the event: a recording of a conversation between Leary, Leary's wife Rosemary, Lennon and Ono that Leary's biographer Michael Horowitz (who happens to be Winona Ryder's dad) recently found "buried in his personal archives."
The interview, which Leary gifted to Horowitz in 1984 as thanks for his work – has likely never before been published .."

E 360K • English Grammar
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
33360 |
Course Description
This section of E/LIN 360K assumes that grammar means the characteristic system of inflections and syntax of the language as dictated by a system of constitutive rules. Constitutive rules of grammar define the inherent nature of the language; regulative rules, on the other hand, are imposed upon the language to dictate what is to be preferred and avoided in the manipulation of that language. The purpose of this section of 360K is to teach students to analyze the structure of sentences and to become more sophisticated in their understanding of language variation. If one assumes that E/LIN 360K is a "refresher" course in the kind of grammar typically taught in American primary and secondary schools, then one egregiously misunderstands the nature and function of this class.
The course begins with a brief, but critical, review of the traditional, Latinate description of English grammar to establish its numerous inadequacies. The course progresses with the development of a phrase structure analysis of English syntax. Students learn tests for constituents and for relationships between constituents that are objectively verifiable, and they learn principles of categorization for lexical and phrasal constituents. They use these tests and principles to analyze sentences and justify their analyses.
Grading Policy
25% Approximately fifteen syntax exercises
25% In-Class Quizzes
50% Two or three syntax tests
(Points may be added or deducted on the basis of class performance)

Manage Your Photos with F-Spot
During the past several years, my wife and I have been trying to organize our ever-increasing collection of digital photographs. First, lacking a digital camera, all we had to do was organize the photos we had scanned. Because scanning was a tedious process, we scanned only the photos we felt were the most important—births, weddings and other life events. This kept the numbers low and manageable. However, once we purchased our first digital camera, our collection of digital photographs quickly grew out of control. With an effectively infinite supply of "film" we suddenly found ourselves "needing" to record each and every moment of our children's lives.
For a long time, the organizational method (if you could call it that) was to take photos until the memory card on the camera was full and then pull them off of the camera and shove them into a folder with a name corresponding to the current date. This was less than ideal, especially because with a large memory card, we could take several hundred photos during a period of a few weeks before it filled up and became necessary to transfer them.
We also had no way to find, say, all of the photos of a particular child easily. Other than knowing when the photos were copied off of the camera, the photo collection was an unorganized mess. Thankfully, F-Spot came to our rescue in a big way.
F-Spot is a photo management application for the GNOME desktop. It is one of a growing number of Linux applications built upon Mono, the open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET platform.
The F-Spot program is available in the package repositories of most Linux distributions, including Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian and others—basically any distribution that comes with a recent version of GNOME. Therefore, as a first stop, check your distribution's package repositories. Or, if you're a command-line person, you can install F-Spot as easily as typing apt-get install f-spot for Debian and its derivations, such as Ubuntu.
If installing from source is your only option, you can download the source from the F-Spot Web site (see the on-line Resources). F-Spot requires that you have the GNOME development libraries, Mono, SQlite, libgphoto2 and a few other libraries installed and configured on your system as specified in the README in the tar.bz2 source file. Once the prerequisites are taken care of, installing it is a simple ./configure; make; make install; three-step process.
After installing F-Spot, the first task is importing existing photos. Choose import from the File menu and then Select Folder from the Import Source drop-down menu. This brings up a file selection dialog. Navigate to the folder where you have been keeping all of your photos, and click Open.
After you choose a folder from which to import, F-Spot searches through the folder and loads thumbnails of the photos it finds. Then, select the Copy file to the Photos folder and Include subdirectories check boxes, and click Import. In my case, at this point I sat back and watched as F-Spot imported and organized several years' worth of photos.
Importing from a digital camera is likewise a very easy process. Simply connect the camera to your computer, and choose the camera from the Import Source drop-down menu. F-Spot recognizes most digital cameras automatically.
F-Spot organizes your pictures in a folder in your home directory called Photos. It subdivides that folder into a folder for each year, and those folders have subfolders for each month and then another for each day. The program figures out the appropriate dates by reading the EXIF metadata from the photos themselves. As long as the clock on your digital camera is set correctly when you take photos, F-Spot files it correctly.
Digital cameras record all sorts of information in the picture files they create, such as the f-stop used, whether the flash fired, the manufacturer and camera model, the exposure time and much more. You can use the Metadata Browser, found in the View menu, to look at this information. It is not editable, but it is interesting to look at, especially if you are a photography enthusiast.
If the metadata is missing for whatever reason, F-Spot sets the date using the creation date stamp on the file, which is usually not accurate. F-Spot can add the date metadata to the picture files that don't have it. This came in handy especially for us with the the 35mm photos that we have scanned over the years, which did not have any metadata associated with them. I also found several photos that, although most of the metadata was intact, had incorrect dates associated with them, probably due to an incorrectly set clock on the digital camera that took the picture.
Fixing the date is easy; simply choose Adjust Time from the Edit menu. This brings up a dialog for adjusting the date down to the second (if that's what you want). You also can select a group of photos, say, from a party, and have F-Spot space them five or ten minutes apart automatically (or however many minutes apart you choose), which ensures that they stay in the proper sequence.
Once you organize your photos more or less by date, you may want to tag them. Tags in F-Spot work like an extra layer of organization on top of the physical time-based scheme. F-Spot comes with a fairly generic set of tags: Favorites, Hidden, People, Places and Events. I added tags for each of my children, and also tags for clipart, landscape photos, desktop wallpapers and so on.
Tags can be nested as well. For example, all of the tags for my children are nested under a Family tag, and my Wallpapers tag is subdivided into Abstract, Landscape and Other.
Photos also can have more than one tag associated with them, so for photos with more than one child in them, I simply tagged them with every child in the photo. You can add tags by dragging the appropriate tag to the photo or by dragging the photo and dropping it on the appropriate tag. To save time, you also can do this with several photos selected.
After tagging all of my photos, I can easily view only the photos I want, such as landscape desktop wallpapers, by selecting the check box next to the Landscape tag. If instead I want to look at all of my wallpapers, I simply check the parent Wallpapers tag.
The tagging feature also comes in handy with another of F-Spot's useful tricks. It can function as your desktop screensaver. Enable this mode via the F-Spot preferences dialog under the Edit menu. From the preferences window, choose which tags to pull photos from. The screensaver itself is nothing fancy; it is just F-Spot's Slideshow mode, which crossfades between the photos—no panning or zooming here—but at least, thanks to specifying the tag, you are guaranteed F-Spot displays only the photos you've chosen.
The preferences window has only one other function: to enable or disable the writing of metadata back to the image formats that support metadata.
In addition to serving as a screensaver, F-Spot has other neat GNOME desktop integration tricks. For example, to select a photo (or photos) to e-mail to someone, choose Send Email from the File menu, and F-Spot opens a new Evolution compose window with the images already attached. You then can compose your message and send it without having to launch the complete Evolution application.
Apart from desktop and e-mail integration, F-Spot also can interface with the Flickr Web site. Flickr is a photo storage and sharing Web site owned by Yahoo. Access this option from the Export submenu of the File menu. F-Spot takes you through a brief setup process the first time you use it and from then on it remembers you.
Uploading a large amount of photos to Flickr can take a long time, so it is best to upload in small batches. Slowness aside, uploading to Flickr is fairly painless and much easier than uploading the photos manually.
You also can export your photos to a folder on your computer—as a basic but attractive photo album Web site, or simply as a folder of photos.
If you are looking for a simple way to back up your photos, you can export directly to a CD. The CD-burning feature uses GNOME's built-in CD burning facilities—another GNOME integration trick.
Like most photo management applications, F-Spot includes several basic photo editing controls. Enter editing mode by double-clicking the photo you want to edit or by selecting it and then clicking on the Edit Photo button on the tool bar. The editing features are basic, but very serviceable. Photo rotation, red-eye removal and cropping to various standard or nonstandard photo sizes are all easy to do, as is converting photos to black and white or sepia tone. The color adjustment window lets you tweak the exposure, saturation, brightness, hue, contrast, temperature and tint of your photos to your heart's content.
If you find yourself needing more editing power, right-click on an image and open it in The GIMP. F-Spot will even suggest that it create a new version of the photo to protect the original version.
In fact, if you change your mind about any of the edits you have made, you easily can revert back to the original version of the photo that existed when it was first imported into F-Spot. F-Spot does this by implementing a simple versioning scheme to protect the original and subsequent copies of the picture. Any time you make an edit, it does so on a copy, and you can create a new version of a photo manually at any time to tinker with it and not worry about irretrievably damaging the original or any prior version.
For all of its good points, F-Spot is not perfect. At the time of this writing, it is at version 0.1.11, and the application feels less than polished in a few areas.
Tag searching is one such area. As explained earlier, you search by tags by selecting the appropriate check box. It would make sense that by doing this on several tags, you could narrow your search to only those photos that are associated with all of the tags—sort of like what Google and other search engines do with keywords when I am looking for something on-line. Instead, F-Spot broadens your search to include all photos that have any of the tags. This can be useful in certain situations, but without a way to alternate between searching on all or any of the selected tags, the search feature is, in my mind, broken.
Another annoyance is F-Spot's Gallery integration—it does not work, at least, not with the latest versions of each as I write this. Gallery is an open-source set of PHP scripts that you can use to add a photo gallery to your Web site. The integration with Flickr is nice, and it works well, but I'm not a Flickr user. I do like and use Gallery though, so the broken Gallery support in F-Spot was a let down. Hopefully, this is a temporary problem that will be fixed by the time you read this.
CD burning is another area that could be improved. It works, and works well, but not if you use 650MB or 700MB CD-R or CD-RW discs or, apparently, recordable DVDs. If you have only a couple hundred megabytes of photos to back up or 3GB, the disc images F-Spot creates are sized for 800MB CD-R and CD-RW discs only. There should be a way to choose what size media you intend to use and have F-Spot create its ISO images accordingly.
Finally, it would be nice if some of the photo editing features were a little easier to use. I can tweak the exposure, saturation, brightness, hue, contrast, temperature and tint of my photos, but I usually end up making my photos look worse, not better. Some automated "enhance photo" scripts would be nice or even something as simple as an "auto-levels" feature, such as you can find in The GIMP.
Despite these annoyances, F-Spot is off to a great start. It has not been around very long, and it already is one of the better Linux photo management programs. The GNOME integration and list of features already put it head and shoulders above gThumb, my previous choice for photo management in GNOME. As more developers add their support to Mono and its growing list of applications, F-Spot can only get better and better.
In the end, F-Spot became my photo manager of choice because it has brought order and sanity to my ever-growing collection of family snapshots. If you're a GNOME user, or curious about Mono, you owe it to yourself to give F-Spot a try.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?
