4-Hers excel in giant pumpkin growing contest
The University of Illinois Extension wrapped up its giant pumpkin growing contest Oct. 31. Seven outstanding pumpkins were submitted by local youth. All contestants were Winnebago County 4-Hers.
The U of I Extension provided Big Mac giant pumpkin seeds to more than 100 participants in an effort to promote the Plant-A-Row (PAR) for the Hungry program. PAR promotes growing an extra row of veggies in your home garden with the purpose of donating that fresh produce to area food pantries. This year, PAR collected and distributed more than 14 tons of fresh produce to Rockford-area food pantries.
Seven contest entries were received. The largest of the seven pumpkins weighed in at 89 pounds, belonging to Christina Chestnut. Other award winners include Jared Manley, Cordell Schelm, Sowmya Monroe, Kelsey Montgomery, Emily Lopata and Rebecca Baird.

The Invisible Boy is a curious mixture of lighthearted playfulness and menacing evil. As it begins, ten-year-old Timmie Merinoe (Eyer) seems only to want a playmate. After he is mysteriously invested with superior intelligence, he reassembles a robot that his father and other scientists have been ready to discard as unrepairable junk. No one pays much attention to the robot after Timmie gets it going, until Timmie's mother becomes angry when Timmie is taken aloft by a huge kite that the robot builds.
When Timmie expresses a wi/>sh to be able to play without being observed by his parents, the robot with the aid of an evil supercomputer makes him invisible. At first Timmie uses his invisibility to play simple pranks on his parents and others, but the mood of the film soon changes, when it becomes clear that the super computer intends to take over the world through a military satellite.
A young man, raised by a Japanese family in Los Angeles, finds his knowledge of the Japanese language invaluable to the Marines after Pearl Harbor in this war saga.

It's an incredible cinematic adventure as the legendary Sinbad sets off on a dangerous journey to the mysterious Island of Colossus. His quest is to break the spell cast over his beloved princess by a diabolical magician. But before he can save her, Sinbad must battle an awesome collection of mythical monsters, the man-eating Cyclops, a saber-wielding skeleton, a ferocious two-headed bird called the Roc and a fire-breathing dragon. Starring Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant, Torin Thatcher and highlighted by the stunning visual effects mastery of Ray Harryhausen. Now in a pristine, hi-definition transfer that captures the magic of Harryhausen's "eye-popping" special effects in dazzling Technicolor.
Surrounded by hostile Comanches, frontier widow Celia Gray knows the only hope she and her little boy have is to escape to Fort Dobbs. Their escort is Gar Davis, a strapping stranger who clearly has something to hide. Celia fears she knows his secret: he's the man who murdered her husband. Clint Walker plays the mysterious stranger and Virginia Mayo is the ravishing widow in this Western tale of high-desert suspense and action. As the desperate travelers make their way through Indian attacks and the perils of a forbidding terrain, they're joined by a gun trader (Brian Keith in an audience-grabbing performance) carrying high-performance rifles he's looking to sell – and Gar worries that the Comanches will be the highest bidder.
Sinbad hunts for a roc's egg to save his love from an evil sorcerer.

J.s'AFA EDUCATIONAL nmvzcn Dec. 1s .1934.
Filed Dec. 25, 1931 2 Sheets-Sheet l J, AFAR EDUCATIONAL DEVICE Dec. 18, 1934.
Filed Dec. 23, 1931 2 Sheets-Sheet '2 [71 1 677 zon' .jbse
.' Patented Dec. 18, 1934 UNITED STATES EDUCATIONAL DEVICE Josef Qal'ii, Znai'm, Czechoslovakia Application December 23,- 1931, Serial No. 582,765 In Czechoslovakia December 23, 1930 1 Claim. (01. 35-46) My invention relates to educational devices,
. and more particularly to an educational device the machine which he or she operates. To this,
end, I provide a rest for the copy and a distant indicator which is structurally combined with the rest and arranged in the line of vision of the operator.looking at the copy on the rest.
The indicator is equipped with a number of electric lamps equalling the number of keys in the keyboard. Switching means are coordinated to the keys in the keyboard and adapted to be operated bythe keys, and circuits connect the individual switching means to the co-ordinated lamps in the indicator.
My-invention will be described as applied to a typewriter but may be used whereverkeyboards' are controlled, for instance, in typewriting telegraph apparatus, etc.
The object of training pupils in typewriting is to enable them to thoroughly control the keyboard and other mechanisms forming part of a typewriter, with all ten fingers and while looking exclusively at the copy which is normally.
my invention by providing the signalling means referred to. Ina preferred embodiment of my invention I provide an indicator with aset of incandescent lamps in combination with a rest for the copy and I place the indicator in the line of vision of the operator as he or she looks at the copy on the rest. A lamp is allotted to each key of the typewriter, and its circuit is so arranged that it will be closed upon depression of the corresponding key, causing the lamp in the circuit. to be lighted. The pupil thus observes the lamp signals while looking at the copy.
In the drawings afilxed to this specification and forming part thereof an outfit embodying my invention as adapted to a typewriter is illustrated atically by way of example.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a. portion of a typewriter and a rest for the copy equipped with the indicator referred to in the operator's line of vision, 5
Fig. 2 is a cross section showing a portion of the keyboard,
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2, viewed from below, W
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the circuits of 10 four keys of the typewriter in a horizontal row on its keyboard and the four incandescent lamps allotted to them in the corresponding row of the indicator,
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the four keys,
Fig. 6 is' a plan view of four markings on a pane of translucent material forming part of the indicator, which markings correspond to the lamps allotted to'the four keys, and
Fig. 7 is a ,horizontal section showing a portion of the indicator.
Referring now to the drawings, and first to Figs. 1, 4, 5 and 6, A is a typewriter with a keyboard C, D is a rest for the copy arrangedat the right of the typewriter, h is the frame of the indicator referred to, E is a cable'for the wires partly constituting the circuits of the lamps l, and B is a battery for supplying energy to the circuits, with one of its terminals connected to the lamps by wire 8, and the other terminal connected to the frame of the typewriter "by a wire u. r
m are the key levers, and n are the keys at, their outer ends. Arranged below each key lever and. adapted to be engaged byit when the corresponding key is depressed, as shown for the J type in Fig. 4, is a contact spring 41 which is in the circuit of the corresponding incandescent lamp 2 at the indicator frame hso that this lamp will be lighted when the key is de ressed and illuminate a pane i of transparent or trans lucent material which is marked with the cor-' responding type opposite the lamp. Only fifteen of the typewriter keys n are shown while in fact the typewriter has thirty keys, as is indicated 45 by the markings on' the pane i. The keys for the K, L and "8 types are also shown in Fig. 4 but only the J" type is shown light because the circuit of its lamp has been made. The indicator frame h is so arranged at the rest D that it supports the lower edge of the copy I? and is in the operator's line of visionas he or she looks at the copy on the rest D.
Referring now to Figs. 2 and 3, a is the slotted front plate of the A in the slots of which the key levers m are mounted to reciprocate, o is one out of a set of angle brackets for connecting to the front plate a a U-shaped clip 0 which in turn receives a strip 2) of insulating material, such as wood, hard rubberor the like. Preferably the strip b is shouldered at its sides and the shanks of the clip 0 are beaded over for engaging below the shoulders, as best seen in Fig. 2. Obviously any other means than the angle brackets 0 may be provided for connecting the clip 0 to the front plate a. The strip b is notched on its lower face transversely to its longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 3 and the springs d are secured on the seats between two notches by screws p or any other suitable means. Each key has a contact spring d, a circuit and a lamp 1 allotted to it, the circuit being made by spring d when one of the keys is depressed as shown for the J key in dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 4.
Referring now to Fig. '7, e is a plate of insulating material forming part of the indicator frame It, with threaded holes for the reception of incandescent lamps l. The incandescent lamps may be of the type usually employed in flash lights. Only three of the lamps are shown, but it will be understood from the foregoing description that there are as many lamps I as there are keys 1!. and key levers m so that a definite lamp is allotted to each type and will be lighted when the key showing this'type is depressed. ,f is a metal plate on the outer face of the insulating plate e which has openings for the incandescent lamps Z. k are cylindrical diaphragms surrounding the bulbs of the individual lamps l and confining the light emitted by them. i is a plate, for instance, of glass, on which the types corresponding to the several lamps and keys are marked, preferably on the inner face of the glass plate. The plate 2' is held in the indicator frame it by flanges and spaced from the plates e and j by the diaphragms k, as best seen in Fig. 7, g are contact springs, one per lamp Z, which are secured to the inner face of the insulating plate ev by screws q, and r are the wires forming part of the circuit of each lamp. The wire s is connected to a screw t extending through the plates .4: and f,-s0 as to. connect the battery to the lamp sockets.
Instead of threading the holes in the insulating plate e the openings may be plain and provided with threaded sockets for the reception of the lamps Z. The sockets are electrically connected to each other and secured to the plate e by any suitable means.
The battery B is preferably a dry battery of the type usually employed in flash lights. One of its terminals is connected to the frame 0 the typewriter by awire u, Fig. 4, and its other terminal is connected to the plate I by the wire 3 and the screw t, as described, the plate I being connected to the sockets of all lamps. The contact springs g of the individual lamps are connected to the corresponding springs d by the wires 1' which are combined into the cable E.
In operation, if the pupil depresses one of the keys n, for instance, the key for the type J as shown in dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 4 and in full lines in Fig. 1, the circuit of the corresponding lamp 1 is made by the type lever m and the spring (1 allotted to this particular key and its lamp, and the reproduction of the type on the glass plate 2' is illuminated. As the indicator frame h is structurally combined with the rest, being preferably arranged below the copy F as shown in Fig. 1, it is in the operators line of vision so that it is not necessary for the operator to look alternately at the copy F and at the machine A for ascertaining whether the right type has been depressed, and the operators work goes on without interruption. In this mannerv the pupil is accustomed to blind typing, saving time and increasing efiiciency.
I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details of construction shown and described for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
I claim:
In an educational device for acquiring skill in typing on a keyboard from a copy, a rest for the copy, a distant indicator structurally combined with said rest and arranged in the line of vision of the operator looking at the copy on said rest, a number of electric lamps equalling the number of keys of said keyboard in said indicator, switching means co-ordinated to the keys in said keyboard and adapted to be operated by said keys and circuits connecting the individual switching means to the co-ordinated lamps in said indicator. r

I know we've discussed this topic in other threads but I thought I should put this on it's own to keep things simple.
Our security officer just mailed me this in response to my question about monitoring files - I said we needed consent to be able to do this.
Any thoughts?Quote:
"Hi Mark
With regard to RIPA, as I understand it you do not need written permission to monitor anyone's email or files. You just need to ensure they are aware of the policy that states "they will be monitored for policy compliance"
extract ...
Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) interception is allowed for certain listed purposes without the consent of employees. The government's Interception of Communications Regulations 2000 authorise employers to monitor staff e-mails, Internet use and even phone calls at work, provided employers have a 'lawful' business purpose and that they make 'all reasonable efforts' to inform users of the monitoring.
... I assume it's got to be the same for pupils??
RIPA starts to conflict with the Human Rights Act with regard to privacy issues, but the general advice given by specialists is that you write your policy in such a way that states you can and will monitor any data on your network to ensure policy compliance, and to aid in resolving networking issues.
We do not ask staff to sign the policy and Personnel/Legal have ensured that we are within the law to monitor any email when we are investigating abuse of Council policy cases.
It would be worth asking advice of the legal section when you have completed your policy. If there are any cases where you receive complaints, then I guess you would ask the Legal department to act on your behalf."

Jon & Kate Plus 8: worth the wait?
by Michael Pascua, posted May 26th 2009 9:05AM
After all of the paparazzi stories, I was excited to see what would happen to the Gosselin family in the Season Five opener of Jon & Kate Plus Eight. I had less concern for Jon and Kate; instead I was worried about the fate of their eight children. TLC threw a Jon & Kate Plus Eight marathon just in case newcomers wanted to watch.
With season four ending on the cliffhanger of Jon contemplating quitting, was the first episode of season five worth the wait?
Preview of Jon & Kate Plus 8's new season: Two minutes of crippling sadness
by Kona Gallagher, posted May 21st 2009 2:00PM
Even if you've never seen a single episode of the TLC mega-hit Jon & Kate Plus 8, chances are you've been hearing a lot about it lately. Specifically, the rumors of infidelities, open marriage contracts, and staying together not for the kids, but for the cameras. One should always take tabloid stories with a grain (or a pound) of salt, but when the issues make their way onto the actual show? Perhaps there is something to them.
TLC just released a two-minute clip of the May 25 season premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8 (video also after the jump), and, well, it's awkward, to say the least. One of the hallmarks of the show is that Jon and Kate always squeeze onto a love seat together to do their interviews. In the season premiere, however, each one is sitting alone on the couch. Gone is the playful banter; in its place is a woman who looks as though she's spending every ounce of her energy trying not to scream, and a man who just looks beaten down by life. It's not exactly the family-friendly entertainment viewers are used to.

007: GoldenEye
Nintendo Wii
4 New from
Free delivery
Posted: 06/01/2011
Ive had Goldeneye Wii since Christmas Day and Ive found it completely addictive. I cant recommend this game enough especially since its had a recent price drop.
Single PlayerYou start off on a mini training session which shows you how to crouch fire reload and move (which can take some getting used to if youre using the Wii Zapper which I do!) and gives you a little practice stage to do it all on. But once you get used to it all its completely worth it! You can always personalise your shooting control from the options anyway.The enemies really interact with the environments & you cant get away with shooting someone when theres someone else a few metres away because theyll find you and fire back. They hear you coming if you shoot through glass and call to each other for help so youve got to try and use the silencer whenever you can.When I was crawling in the vent on the Facility level with the soldier below me on the toilet I wasnt able to look down at him because my Wii Remote had gone off the limit so I wasnt able to play that iconic moment of the N64 game. Thats probably the only positive thing about using a normal controller. Ive also experienced lag on the third level when tons of explosions were going off. The screen literally froze for 2 seconds as though it was on pause. But thats not a major deal.The sound and graphics are top notch for the wii. Its really atmospheric and use of Bonds POV in some cut scenes literally puts you in his shoes.
MultiplayerOnline is completely addictive and what I play more of. Im kind of a casual gamer but my first match online with Goldeneye lasted 3 hours!! Then the next day I went on for 2 hours. And the next 3 hours again! Its really addictive especially with mates as you txt each other between games to get vengeance on people who killed you both! lolYouve got tons of modes like Team Conflict (team vs team) Conflict (every man for himself) Golden Gun and various other modes (some of which need unlocking). You gain XP Points for every kill match win and head shots and these help you to unlock new weapons and game modes which keeps spurring you on to play online. The more points you earn the higher your level becomes.You can add friends and join their matches but sometimes it can be slow to put you into a game. I left it for 5 minutes and still had nothing. Sometimes I keep having to come out of it and try again about 4 times before I finally get into a match.There is only 1 time Ive experienced lag but I think thats because American internet is much faster than the UK (you can tell because just as you start a match, theyre already running a few metres ahead and sometimes you can get killed from out of nowhere because they see you first). Im changing my region setting to stop this from happening though. One other gripe I have is that sometimes the teams arent really fair because Ive been on a team of novices like me who are on Level 8 and been up against pros on Levels 35!! This can be really frustrating at times. They should put you in a group relevant to your experience like on Mario Kart.
Overall this is an amazing game and I would say its better than the original! Even when you complete the single player mode there are more objectives added which you have to do and you will keep coming back to the online games so youll never get bored. Definite buy for any Wii owner! I would have given it 5/5 but decided on 4 because of the technical glitches.
Felix The Cat Men's Wink T-Shirt (Green)
Posted: 17/09/2010
This shirt looks really cool - it's got a retro look to it and looks great on. One small thing though - the Felix logo is actually pretty bigger than the image suggests, but that's not a big deal. I'm quite skinny and usually take a small or a medium (depending on the shop) but I'm about a size 38 chest and the small size fits perfectly!
Super Mario Galaxy 2

When Edge magazine (who are notorious for only being interested in hardcore games) gives a Wii game 10/10 youve got to realise that it must be pretty amazing and Super Mario Galaxy 2 definitely is!It is one of the most addictive games Ive ever played. I say to myself Ill play it for half an hour and then 2 hours later Im still there. The levels are so imaginative and there are so many different tasks to complete. Its not just your typical platform game where you have to jump over obstacles because there are so many elements to it. Quite a lot of the levels flip from 3D to 2D really fluidly so you get the best of both worlds and the Yoshi levels are so much fun. I dont know why it comes with a DVD to show you how to play it because you learn as you go along and its really easy to get to grips with. Dont get me wrong because its still challenging and you will die quite a few times before you get to the end of some of the levels.Overall the graphics are probably the best ever on the wii the controls are fluid the music is amazing (it reminded me of the WallE soundtrack) and its 2 player! There's never been a platform game quite like this and that includes New Super Mario Bros for Wii!Basically buy it now!!
Red Steel 2
8 New from

Posted: 01/06/2010
Red Steel 2 has some of the best graphics Ive seen on the Wii and its such a refreshing change from all the cutesy family friendly games on it. Although its really fun and addictive it does have a few flaws.When I first started up the game I had a bit of trouble calibrating the WM Plus (at first I did it by placing it on the floor like Wii Sports Resort but I had a bit of difficulty controlling it after that so I resorted to holding it at chest level when calibrating which proved better).After playing it for 2 weeks I think Ubisoft didnt completely get to grips with the Motion Plus. Dont get me wrong most of the time the controls are very sensitive and you cant get away with just waggling your arm to do a Special Move but there are a few times when I have trouble moving my character in combat and then got whacked from the side by an enemy. Also the WM Plus drains the batteries so much, that I kept having to use my 2nd controller as back up. There was also a small glitch that happened when I was stuck in a room and none of the doors would open (I ended up having to restart from my last save point but this wasnt such a big deal as the game Autosaves pretty regularly).Red Steel 2 is so much fun and you can easily play for over an hour without realising the time! There are tons of special moves to pick up along the way the environments are amazing and the sound is really creepy and adds to the tension.It reminded me a bit of Streets of Rage on the Mega Drive as most of the enemies remain the same throughout the game and there are a few bosses which pop up from time to time too. And then you have various missions to complete along the way new moves to learn you can purchase upgrades from the shop etc so there is plenty to keep you occupied.

It's got EVERYTHING you need to know, with advice from people such as JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett, Maggie Gee and William Bloom and it even tells you which festivals or socieities to attend in order to get your name out there.I can't stress enough how important it is to buy this book!!
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
Posted: 12/08/2009
I'm not a hard core Harry Potter fan who buys the books and sees the films on the first day of release (although I have seen all of the films) so I thought I would read the last book before the last films come out so that I can compare it with my imagination. Every chapter leaves you wanting to read more and more - I literally haven't been this hooked on a book before. It's got funny, sad and dark moments which really plays with your emotions and the end is amazing. I would recommend this even if you're not a Harry Potter fan, it's definitely worth adding to your collection!
Wii Sports Resort (with Wii MotionPlus)

I got this game on the first day of release and was literally on it all day - I hadn't done that since Mario Kart Wii came out! What makes this so different from the first Wii Sports is that it actually takes a while to master some of the games (mainly frisbee and golf) which makes it more interesting and actually involves some kind of learning curve.Because of the Wii Motion Plus, you can't get away with just swinging the remote any way you want ...you actually have to be accurate *gulp* and it just goes to show how future games like Red Steel 2 will be. It's very addictive and so much fun; especially when you've got friends round. It kind of matches Wario Smooth Grooves because its ideal for entertaining groups of mates, but it's also great fun if your alone and have some time to kill.Some games are more fun than others - Archery, ping pong, golf and sword fighting are my favourites, whereas cycling and wakeboarding are the weakest ...but all the games are fun and I will be playing them all again!Wii Sports Resort is a great introduction to Motion Plus and you should definitely buy this if you like Wario Smooth Grooves and Mario & Sonics at the Olympic Games! Although it doesn't have online features, it's more of a game that you play with friends in the same room as you laugh at each other when dogfighting or sword splicing. The WM+ really drains the batteries which is the only downside, but it makes an amazing difference to the gameplay! BUY IT
Wii MotionPlus

I've got two of these for Wii Sports Resort and from the minute I used the remote for the main menu, I could feel a major difference in the accuracy. You can even play it from a further distance compared to the normal wii remote signal, but be warned because there is one negative point to make - using the WM+ drains the batteries twice as fast as normal so if you haven't already invested in a Wii charging dock then I would suggest it otherwise you will be having to buy new batteries every 2 days.

I left my gym because the membership costs were getting a bit much and after reading the reviews on here, I thought it would be beneficial to buy this to keep up my fitness. Don't get me wrong - it is good, but I think it only works if you're really unfit. I've now ended up just buying some weights for the same price as the game and going for the occasional jog! But this is way better than wii fit - you can customize your workout and its more intense. Only buy this if you play no sports and aren't very fit because otherwise you'll be disappointed

I used to love this film when I was a kid and it's really fun watching it back as a 23 year old. Some bits are corny, but its a Disney film from the 1980's so what do you expect! I still prefer the subtlety of the originals to the massive CGI infested re-make!

UK Police virus (also known as United Kingdom Police virus or Cheshire Police Authority Virus) is a dangerous ransomware, which belongs to a huge group of viruses actively locking computers down. Once they manage to enter the system and block it, they show a large notification reporting about various invented crimes, such as the use of pirated content and similar. You may ask why they do that for. The answer is very simple - this virus seeks to take your computer a hostage and make you pay a considerable amount of your money as a fine. Please, never pay this fine, which is asked on United Kingdom Police virus alert because it's fake. This program is clearly developed by hackers, so you will only lose your money if you fall for it. If you want to unblock the machine, you have to remove UK Police virus ASAP.
Similarly to Police Central e-crime Unit virus, UK Police virus gets inside the system without asking user's permission. In most of the cases, it can be downloaded together with non-registered software, fake updates and media codecs, or simply after you open an attachment of the spam email. Once this screen locker attacks the system, it disables computer's system immediately after that, and replaces computer's desktop with a fake notification titled United Kingdom Police. Additionally, it lists various articles that claim that user has violated UK's legislation by downloading, playing and distributing various content and software. Here's what it claims:
United Kingdom Police
Police Central e-crime Unit ATTENTION! Your PC is blocked due to at least one of the threse reasons specified below.
You have been violating "Copyright and Related Rights Law" (Video, Music, Software) and illegally using or distributing copyrighted content, thus infringing Article 128 of the Criminal Code of Great Britain.
Article 128 of the Criminal Code provides for a fine of 200 to 500 minimal wages or deprivation of liberty for 2 to 8 years.
As you can see, UK Police Virus seeks to scare people into thinking that they have a deal with governmental organization that blocks people for violating crimes. You have to ignore this scam message and remove infected files from the system.
UK Police virus prevents its removal by blocking the system with its fake alert. So, if you want to get rid of this malware for good, you should unblock the computer and then run a full system scan with SpyHunter, STOPzilla or Malwarebytes Anti Malware. In order to unlock your PC follow one of these options:
Flash drive method:
1. Take another machine and use it to download SpyHunter or other reputable anti-malware program.
2. Update the program and put into the USB drive or simple CD.
3. In the meanwhile, reboot your infected machine to Safe Mode with command prompt and stick USB drive in it.
4. Reboot computer infected with UK Police virus once more and run a full system scan.
* Users infected with these ransomware threats are allowed to access other accounts on their Windows systems. If one of such accounts has administrator rights, you should be capable to launch anti-malware program.
* Try to deny the Flash to make your ransomware stop function as intended. In order to disable the Flash, go to Macromedia support and select 'Deny': http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help09.html. After doing that, run a full system scan with anti-malware program.
* Manual UK police virus removal (special skills needed!):
QR is short for Quick Response. They can be read quickly by the mobile phones. QR codes can store more data than
standard barcodes, including url links, geo coordinates, and text.
The reason we add QR code to the website is that parasites like UK Police virus are really hard to remove on infected computer. you can quicly scan the QR code with your mobile device and have manual removal instructions to uninstall UK Police virus right in your pocket.
Simply use the QR scanner and read removal instructions from mobile device.

Paris in the Fall
By David Dadoun | Published: September 5, 2014
A new rhythm begins in Paris with la rentree, when Parisians return from their vacances, and shops re-open all spruced up after a month off. Yes, France remains a stalwart in the European economy despite the 25 or so days of vacation that Parisians take in a year, with a good chunk of it in […]

Summer in Paris
By David Dadoun | Published: August 4, 2014
Ice cream cones drip in the sunlight. Children laugh with delight as they ride the carrousel in the Jardin des Tuileries. Women in breezy sundresses sit lazily at a café mid-afternoon. Friends share wine, cheese, and a baguette for a pique-nique in the park. Stars only begin to sparkle in the sky after […]

Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris — A Snapshot In Time

In Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris, he captures the spirit and soul of Paris by sharing some of its best venues, from the steps at Sacré-Cœur at midnight, to Pont Alexandre III in still night rain.

Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen
By Natasha Barr | Published: March 30, 2014
Many of us come to Paris for the shopping but, if designer stores on the Champs Elysées aren't your style, there are other options. Determined to have a real Parisian shopping experience, I decided to look into something a little more off the beaten path. When I heard about the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, […]

Trigger Warning: This post references topics such as sexual abuse.
Well, we are not exactly Lena Dunham. That would be weird.
A lot has been made of the revelations from Girls star Lena Dunham's memoir. What may have been intended as a collection of awkward stories from her formative years has now cranked the internet controversy up to eleven. If you have not read the excerpts in question, just google them. The long and short of it is that Dunham, in her own words, compares herself to a child predator as she retells incidents of…erm…close contact with her little sister.
Dozens of writers and commentators have quoted Dunham's words verbatim, letting her own stories speak for themselves. Thousands of people have tweeted and blogged, often their disgust to Dunham. Dunham has fired back by "rage spiraling" on Twitter and siccing her lawyers on people, threatening defamation lawsuits.
The whole time I took this in, I realized something.
There are a lot of people who consider Dunham's stories icky at best and predatory at worst. There are some who cannot understand why she would share such things.
But if any of us were in Lena Dunham's shoes, I think we would have done the same thing. We are not so different from her.
Here's what I mean.

Hi All,
This may be a completely stupid question, or it should perhaps go under 'Learning Network Manager' (i'll be happy to accept either or both).
We have a rogue IP address on the network and i've been using the ARP command on our gateway server to try and find the perpetrator. The problem is this person hasn't been online all day it seems, and I just have to make educated guesses at the best time to do a search (break times etc). Is there any way you can loop ARP requests so I can just leave it running all day and take action when it finds it?
Thanks for any suggestions

Obama Is as Arrogant as Ever
After the incredible shellacking that Democrats received a week ago, wouldn't you think that President Barack Obama would be a tad more conciliatory? Maybe a little less arrogant? A tiny bit more willing to compromise?
The Obamacare News Just Keeps Getting Worse
Those 30,000 Wal-Mart employees who are losing their health insurance aren't alone. There's another huge wave of cancellations of health plans coming.
Even Obama's Own Party Flees the President
A front-page story in last Friday's Wall Street Journal showed just how unpopular Barack Obama has become in one surprising constituency: Democrats who are running for office.
The Democrats' Sleaziest Ad Yet
A left-wing group called the Agenda Project Action Fund boasted that it is launching "a multi-pronged blitzkrieg attack that lays blame for the Ebola crisis exactly where it belongs — at the feet of the Republican lawmakers."
Stopping the Spread of Ebola
Will Ebola become another entry in the long list of reasons the U.S. government has given us not to trust it? You can count on it.
The Democrats' Anti-Obama Campaign
Natalie Tennant, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat in West Virginia, is running against Shelley Moore Capito, a Republican. But her television ad sounds as though her opponent is Barack Obama.
Would Obama Really Dare to Do This?
Just how far will Barack Obama go to keep his far-left agenda in place? There are some interesting rumors floating around the blogosphere, including one that he will use a rapidly expanding Ebola crisis to clamp severe restrictions on us such as limiting our right to travel.
Will Obama Ever Man Up to Anything?
When Harry Truman was president, he had a sign on his desk that read, "The buck stops here." That's certainly not the case with the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Good Riddance to Eric Holder
So why is Eric Holder stepping down as attorney general of the United States as soon as a successor is confirmed?
Will Harry Reid Steal the Coming Elections?
The most effective money-raiser for the Democrats is the Senate Majority PAC, which is desperate to elect enough Democrats to keep Harry Reid in his powerful position as Senate Majority Leader.

I went to a place I was very satisfied with for a broken capillary on the end of my nose. VOILA!! Poof be gone. It was a miracle! I was looking like Rudolph and at 29 didn't like that very much. So a couple more zaps here and there for small red "tiny" red dots was cheap..$75. No biggie. I had one of my husbands concerts coming up and wanted to look extra awesome so I decided to ask about a few small capillaries next to my eye near my nose. "No problem she said....
As I was lubed up goggles on I found myself pulling the skin of my eye down hearing the lady say .."I'm using a different LASER...one we used for your leg veins..." And started zapping away. I think at that point we all know what might be going on in our brain....so there it goes...no wine for a week and they would have been gone....laser...ruined for life...or at least till I get my brow lift at 31...haha not funny. So I puffed up like no other and scarred like no other and had to go to a LA concert that night (thank god I'm a talented makeup artist!!) as the months go on...I'm devastated...I lost all of the fat surrounding my eye...upper and lower. Deep dark circles fat pockets..loss of elasticity in cheeks. Droop In both brows and my eyes started closing up and wrinkling so small I could have died. (By the way I've always had notorious eyes..talking..."oh you look like Megan fox . Christina apple gate . Katy perry Carmen Electra...and blah blah.... So anyways I went back..was told I was crazy ...wanted some sort of compensation and BAM...botox for free..umm ...well a botched laser isn't gonna make a botched botox any better. I've been sicker than a dog had horrific panic attacks, night sweats night vomiting 'complete fatigue (I mean can't even get outta bed for a few weeks) weakness in arms, severe headaches and vision...and so fourth. This battle is not fun. I will beat it I can't let it ruin me. I can't even look in the mirror I look like someone else...just waiting to get the botox out to get that brow lift...then I'm done. On that note...ID RATHER BE SLICED AND DICED AND RECOVER THAN SUFFER RUINING MY FACE FROM LASER AND RUINING MY HEALTH AND WELL BEING FROM BOTOX. And believe me...I will never try a filler.....
Big mistake
I went to a place I was very satisfied with for a...
So almost a month after the botox...
I think the botox bad symptoms are finally settling in. My nausea is still here and I have no appetite (which might make me lose a few pounds :) ) and feeling fatigued. Anxiety is heightened because of the botox especially at night...I'm suffering bad insomnia . Looks wise I'm pretty happy today...everything looks pretty good and my face back to normal as if the botox made all the lumping and sagging go away.. Nervous of what will happen when this wears off :( at first I wanted it to but then will all the bad laser effects just fall back in place? Who knows. It also seems like the botox shifts at times and sometimes looks great and sometimes my eyes are mush again! Ill post 2 pics showing the botox. Today being great and 2 nights ago smiling all the lumping on my brow bone skin which was always full and plump and the sags and lines from the botox and laser. How the hell does the laser affect my whole upper lid when it was done underneath?
Vitamin E
I've been breaking open my vitamin e capsule before I take it and using around my eyes. I stopped drinking alcohol as well. I think it's making a huge difference...I'm hopeful!
Not better ...at all....this is nuts!
I'm one year out from laser and six months after trying to correct wit botox and I truly never have felt so alone and unbelieved And so helpless in my life ...I've never lost more than knowing I lost myself to something so stupid. This has ruined my life and I need help...
Fat loss
So the orbital fat loss keeps progressing. But good news! I have my peri orbital fat transfer scheduled on July 9th! Wish me luck! I'm hoping for the best with a very positive attitude! Ill update my profile and keep everyone posted!! :)
fat transfer for laser and botox damage at 32 yrs old
What can I say other than im so thankful for what has been given to me choosing the right doctor to help my situation. I have spent so much money to recover my problem with doctors, I have exhaust ed my time and energy in others that believe I am ill in the head or do not believe what I have gone through, and with all of this said my health problems are not completely gone and neither is my nerve damage and facial problems I have had to endure all this time,,,,,,,, BUT,,, my DEAR GOD! ------ my doctor is a SAINT, I have to say that if I didnt search th e world for the best fat transfer doc id be in big trouble, it took me a few years to make my desicion and this man is a life saver. Even today im being diagnosed with some horrible auto immune disorders after my laser and my derm says I look perfect and my doc did wo nders with my fat. There is hope and if you want real help message me, if not, move on. No negative crap here, I truly have been in hell and still am not perfect but truly have been saved in more ways than one. There is hope and I wish it all to you who have suffered. Pm me if you have serious questions and would like to know my doc, no negative crap to follow, ive dealt with that for way to long and id like to help not get criticized for doing so

After two months of speculation, "American Idol" has officially named its judges for Season 12.
Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will take a seat at the judges' panel, alongside previously announced new judge Mariah Carey and returning judge Randy Jackson, FOX announced on Sunday.
While both Nicki and Keith have played coy regarding their possible future's with the show until now, Keith fueled rumors on Wednesday, when he bowed out of his coaching role on Australia's version of "The Voice."
"I've been so fortunate to have been a part of 'The Voice.' And as much as I'd love to do it again, it's clear that the recording and promoting of a new album, a tour and other commitments will keep me from being a part of the second season," Keith said in a statement released to the Nine Network, which airs "The Voice" in Australia, where the country star acted as a coach alongside singers Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem.
Prior to "American Idol's" new additions, singers Katy Perry, Enrique Iglesias and Nick Jonas were reportedly in the running to join the reality competition, after former judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez bowed out in early July.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, in late July, Mariah officially signed on to judge "Idol."
"As a singer, songwriter and producer, it's going to be fun and rewarding to help find new talent and give back with 'American Idol,'" she said in a statement released by FOX at the time. "I'm currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, 'Triumphant,' which will be out early next month. I can't wait to channel my creative energy as a part of this show which is a massive global phenomenon."
Season 12 of "American Idol" will premiere this winter on FOX.

What more can Lord Rogers give to London?
Related Articles
Published: 01 February 2012
Last night, Richard Rogers, star designer, member of the House of Lords and the most influential British architect of his generation, laid out his vision for London at the Royal Institute of British Architects on Portland Place.
Rogers, 78, is still best known for the design approach he honed on his first major project: the Pompidou Centre in Paris, designed and built with Renzo Piano between 1971 and 1977. This building, at one point the most visited in Europe, wore its insides on the outside: its structural frame and utilities pipes were not hidden away but worn decoratively on the exterior, leaving the internal spaces unencumbered. It is an approach his practice, now called Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, still espouses today, even if the buildings look far less shocking.
Yesterday's lecture was the first he has given in London with his younger partners, Graham Stirk, 54, and Ivan Harbour, 49, and represents a passing of the baton. It is also an opportunity to look at Rogers's legacy to London.
The most visible is a wealth of buildings, foremost among them Lloyd's of London on Lime Street in the City. This was another building built inside out, with its expensive, stainless-steel cutlery hanging out, and is still a favourite target of taxi drivers' bile.
Others followed: Channel 4's Horseferry Road headquarters (completed 1994), the former Millennium Dome (2000), Lloyd's Register of Shipping (1999), 88 Wood Street (1999), the Montevetro apartment building (2000) and Heathrow Terminal 5 (2008), among many others.
But none of these spectacular buildings compares with his achievements in the political realm: Rogers has been the most politically engaged architect of this, or perhaps any, generation. In 2000 he announced a new vision for British cities - his "Urban Renaissance" - that is still in the mainstream of urban design thinking today. It influenced Ken Livingstone when he was mayor and is still the backbone of the thinking behind the London Plan, the GLA's strategic vision for London.
If Rogers is taking less of a leading role within his practice, he is as evangelical as ever about cities, and London in particular. He is imbued with the optimistic spirit of utopian modernists: Archigram, Buckminster Fuller and the constructivists. His vision of a high- density, compact and bustling city linked by efficient public transport and with great public spaces is compelling. Perhaps the only problem with it is that it's the same vision he had 15 years ago. To hear him talking about it in this new political and economic climate makes one feel nostalgic for the optimistic first term of Tony Blair. Austerity Britain might see Rogers slip behind the agenda for the first time in his career.
But he still has plenty of fight in him, laying out a list of reasons why the Coalition's forthcoming reform of the planning system, the National Planning Policy Framework, is wrong. His objections are basically that it does not conform to the orthodoxy of the Urban Task Force report that Rogers authored in 2000.
He says that the problem with planning is not necessarily that it is wasteful and obstructive, but that standards have fallen so low in the planning professions. "Only 40 per cent of London boroughs have a plan, and most of those are rubbish," he says. He also believes the so-called housing crisis is an illusion created by major housebuilders in concert with a government that will not challenge them. "There are 750,000 homes lying empty, and 330,000 potential homes on banked land" - land with planning permission for homes that would not deliver the desired profit margin.
Worst of all, for Rogers, the NPPF does not take seriously the role of high-quality public space, which he believes should be a "human right". He is right to criticise these things.
And his solutions? They are the same as they have always been. Bring more people into the city, with more dense development around nodes of good public transport. Use only brownfield, ex-industrial land to preserve the Green Belt. He says the NPPF will lead to an unprecedented rise in the amount of out-of-town shopping developments, further damaging high streets that are already suffering.
Rogers has always been a good observer of the obvious mistakes that London planners have made. He wonders why the Embankment, which he describes as "London's most beautiful street", is principally used as a place to park buses.
He sees his long-held prediction of a new city in the east of London coming true with the advent of the Olympics, and, like his former partner Norman Foster, believes that an airport should be built in the Thames estuary to solve London's air transport crush.
But this idealistic vision has been questioned by those who believe Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners says one thing and does another, and that there are recent projects that question the practice's principles. Most significant of these is One Hyde Park, the RSHP-designed palace for billionaires opposite Knightsbridge Tube station. For a practice that donates 20 per cent of its annual profits to charity and whose partners are paid a fixed multiple of the salary of the lowest-paid architect in the office, it might seem a strange project to get involved in. The prices of the apartments at One Hyde Park (£140 million for one of the penthouses) show the extent of the problem of land values in London. And to see Rogers, the man who claims to be rooted in the spirit of the 1968 generation, working for the most high-profile property developers in London, the Candy brothers, jars.
When I ask the partners if they can understand why people get annoyed by this block, they initially try to explain that land values make this kind of building inevitable in locations like this, and that the building does all it can to make a decent public gesture at ground level. They admit that it "is a lightning rod for injustices that exist across London", but their explanations highlight the impotence of idealism in the face of the London property market. Finally, as if telling a youngster a lesson, Rogers says: "You ain't going to get poor housing on that site."
He's right, but that pragmatism doesn't sound like the spirit of '68 to me. Rogers likes to talk about the "creative friction" of living in the city, cheek by jowl with people different from yourself. One Hyde Park has ensured that the social housing part of the project is safely filed away in Pimlico and is not designed by RSHP. It seems his wealthy clients aren't quite so enthusiastic about friction as he is.
Rogers stands for so much that's good about what architecture can offer the city and his objection to the lack of design emphasis in the Government's planning reforms is quite right. But his ideals have reached the end of their useful life. Things are more complicated in contemporary London. The new "public spaces", such as Paternoster Square, Paddington Basin and More London, many inspired by Rogers's thinking, are in fact privately owned.
You can drink a cappuccino there, but not much else, and if a security guard tells you to leave, you have to do so. Rogers's focus on public space has been very welcome but the public realm of the city is more than abstract "space" these days.
His business partners do not seem to share the same politics as the old man either, and are far less compelling speakers. Stirk describes buildings in abstract, architectural language: about "served" and "servant" spaces, of "implied extensions to the public realm" behind glass façades, "public sky plazas" and the "Alice in Wonderland" qualities of the glass office block of the Lloyd's Register of Shipping in the City.
Harbour is pragmatic, all sun-path diagrams and environmental strategies. Perhaps the other partners need Rogers to retire so they can express themselves more clearly, but it is obvious that they are not rooted in the political convictions that still burn in Rogers.
RSHP is a decent place to work and the partners are nice people, but my instinct is that Rogers has won the arguments he set out to win and doesn't have much else to offer. It will be for a younger generation to figure out what "Rogersian" public space is for. He remains a profound influence on London, but this week at Riba was the beginning of him stepping back from the front line. We should thank him, and hope for a new generation of politically engaged architects to take his arguments forward.

I have a scrollable div and I want to put a message above it. I'm doing this by offsetting the content in the scrollable div by 30px and adding a position:absolute div that's 30px tall to the top. However, I'm running into the problem where this div covers the scroll bar of the div below it. How can I put a message at the top of a scrollable div without it covering the scroll bar?
Here is a quick example of my code. Note the scroll bar is covered by the red div:
