Some may argue that there is nothing more romantic than William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet,' for which the Saisonniers AW13 Juliet collection was named after. Embracing more than just the name, it features a slew of dresses that a modern-day version of the star-crossed character would gravitate towards. The full dresses and bright colors look like simplified versions of what Gwyneth Paltrow wore in the movie, 'Shakespeare in Love.'
The Saisonniers AW13 Juliet catalog was shot by photographer Mark O'Grady. He adds a bit of a dark edge to designer Cheryl Curtis' vision of a "true, natural and vulnerable beauty," by way of moody lighting and rich surroundings. The billowing silhouettes are a refreshing change the fashion of the present world "where feminine beauty seems so often entwined with overt sexuality and over confidence," as further stated by Curtis.

Scientists closer to blood test for Alzheimer's
Published on Jul 8, 2014 9:17 AM
LONDON (AFP) - A British study has identified blood proteins that appear in patients subsequently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, raising hopes of a test that could help the search for a cure.
There is currently no cure for the brain-wasting disease, the most common form of dementia, which Alzheimer's Disease International estimates affects 44 million people worldwide, a figure set to triple by 2050.
A test to diagnose the disease early on would allow researchers to monitor patients before they develop advanced symptoms, potentially helping the search for a cure.
The study published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia monitored 220 patients with mild cognitive impairment.

It is unfortunate that many people live in homes that work against them. This is according to the Department of Energy and Water Supply. As a result, they homeowners eventually discover that their homes are unable to cope well with seasonal changes in weather; hence, they experience problems with their Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) system. If you have problems with your HVAC system, contact the best Air conditioner repair las vegas for help.
The fact of the matter is that some seasons are either too hot or too cool, and this is one of the reasons why your energy bills are often high, making it expensive to run the homes. That is why this article is about teaching you how to reduce your energy costs especially during the summer.
Since summertime is approaching, it is time to get creative and find ways we can save big on our energy costs at home. With the increase in the number of electronic gadgets, kitchen appliances, entertainment stuff and many equipment that require electricity to run at home, energy consumption is at all-time high. Fortunately, this problem can be reduced by devising ways of saving your energy consumption on your HVAC system at home. The following are some strategies offered by the Energy.Gov to help you save on energy during the summer when the weather is warm and you are trying to bring some coolness into the house.
Air conditioning: air conditioning presents a major energy consumption area for most homes. If you can save your energy consumption on just your air conditioning alone, you sure can save a lot in your energy bills. Did you know that your air conditioning could be accounting for almost half of your total energy costs, either at home or in business? Because of that, it makes sense to put proactive measures in place to increase your energy efficiency of the air conditioner. You can do the following to achieve that:
- Use natural ventilation: instead of relying entirely on your air conditioner for fresh air, natural ventilation should be used because it is a healthy substitute for air conditioner, which won't cost you anything apart from the efforts of opening the windows at the right time.
- Turn-off the fans: in most cases, people will always forget to turn off the fans and any other gadget connected to the electricity when they leave the room. If you are in the habit of forgetting to do this important thing, you should start practicing that immediately so that it can become your habit.
- Schedule regular maintenance of air conditioning equipment: when you air conditioner is not working according to its potential, chances are you might be losing a lot of money on the equipment due to energy bills. Make sure that the air conditioner is well maintained and it is working optimally.
Lighting and heating: Lighting and heating are also other sources of energy consumption especially during summer because excessive heat and lighting in the house will lead to a lot of usage of the air conditioner. The following should help you save on your energy costs through regulated lighting and heating:
- Appliances such as the ovens and others that emit heat such as stove should be avoid in the house. If possible, use them outside the house. However, sometimes there is nothing you can do if you have to use them. All we are saying is that you should always find an excuse for not using the oven during the summer.
- Use energy saver bulbs: the energy saver bulbs not only saves energy directly by using less energy, they do not heat the house.
- Take short showers, not baths

Nintendo 3DS
For those who still don't get it. It's not Tharja's ass, it's the CENSORSHIP!

No, she means the original story of the main game is not affected by the change in the DLC. Ah ok. --- Interestingly enough, video game companies used to be able to make money without selling out like cheap prostitutes.-KaiserWarrior | |
Hi. I've never played that FE game, I don't even own a 3ds (yet). I just want to give my two cents here: An anime game for PS3, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 has swimsuits (bikini for two characters, one-piece swimsuits for two other characters) for some female characters. It's DLC, it's a japanese game and it sure shows even more flesh than that image (before censorship). So I don't really get the point of censorship there, when other games get away with much more. Is it just lolnintendo? Or is that one ass so special? And IIRC NUNS3 is rated T too. --- I love dragons! White FC: 2194 3983 9072 | |
How is this about Nintendos' censorship? Censorship is generally comes from governments... censoring stuff 'they' don't want the public to see, so if anyone is blame it would be the governments of those areas. Also Nintendo is private company and they can do whatever they want with their products as long as they comply with laws in the areas they sell said products. The products that they sell are a privilege not a right, they give you the privilege of buying the product. If you don't like the product.. no one is making you buy it. So their choice to change content based on regional laws is up to them.. they could choose not to comply, but then they probably wouldn't be able to sell in that region. So I really think people should quit blaming Nintendo for adjusting the content of their property, they have every right too! --- Lazy = Not doing something yourself. Stupid = Having intelligence but choosing not to exercise the right decision. | |
_Izanagi_ posted... You are correct. The thing is, Nintendo's stalwart defenders are quick to rush to its defense saying "Nintendo did nothing wrong," and "what's the big deal" when the issue is the damn censorship. Soulless soccer moms are destroying this company with their crappy ideals. You are correct. Nintendo already rated the game for teens, so I don't see the problem with showing a bikini bottom. It really is ridiculous that Nintendo feels that teens in NA can't handle a cartoon bikini. I guess you have to be over 18 before your first trip to the beach. --- "Do you want to know the secret of my panties?" - Trucy Wright 3DS FC: 4940-5431-3793 mii: Greg | |

iMURDAu posted... Mortal Kombat on SNES says hi and where have you been? What about it? Everybody komplained about it, and Mortal Kombat II was released uncensored. 19 years ago. The only censored third party game I can think of in recent years is Manhunt 2, and that's only because the ESRB originally rated it AO. | |
Nintendo hasn't censored third party games in a while. They censored IP they own. Of course, they can do anything to products they own. They could add explicit sexual content or a lot of gore. They could also turn the cast into anthropomorphic rabbits or turn the series into a first person shooter. They own Fire Emblem. They have a right to do whatever they want. --- http://www.last.fm/user/wolfbornson | |
I don't care that they censored ass. I would care if they censored something actually meaningful, but this was pretty much shameless fanservice in the first place. If I want to see some ass, I'll go on the internet. | |

Andamooka: Open Support for Open Content
A little over a year ago I began writing a book about developing KDE applications. The KDE project was introducing many new APIs and subsystems into the development code that would eventually become KDE 2.0, and developers would need documentation to keep pace with all of this new technology. But how could a book, which needs to be written, edited, reviewed and printed (with some of these steps occuring several times), be made available before the software about which it is written changes? Half of the solution was to enlist as contributing authors several talented developers who were designing and building the new technologies and to keep us all working in parallel from the then-current code base (the "bleeding edge" code). The other half, use of the Open Publication License, has lead to the development of Andamooka and the concept of open support.
The goal of Andamooka (a web-based reader support system, http://www.andamooka.org/) is to keep a book current and correct through the use of coarse-grained community annotation of the on-line text. Annotation is public and is itself open content, and so can be redistributed along with the original text in, ideally, more accurate and up-to-date annotated versions of the text.
Open-content, using the term generally, is any content (typically textual, but not necessarily excluding sound, images and other types of "content" you might wish to consider) that can be freely modified and redistributed. If this reminds you of open-source software, it is, because that was its inspiration.
Reasons for attempting to apply the open-source software development model to open content are described in "Open Source Content Development" by David Wiley (opencontent.org/bazaar.shtml), "Why You Should Use the GNU FDL" by Eric Raymond (www.onu.org/philosophy/why-gfdl.html) and "Do Open-Source Books Work?" by Benjamin Crowell (www.lightandmatter.com/article/article.html), but allow me to try to summarize. First of all, the open-source software development model:
Puts software in the hands of, more or less, whoever wants it because the software is free.
Creates more niche software because open-source software may be freely modified.
Produces more robust software because the software gets tested by many different users in many different situations.
Produces software with features that are in demand because lots of feedback is received from users and, often enough, users contribute by doing some development.
These four items can potentially translate well into open-content development.
Writers can reach more readers by giving their work away—and, indeed, writers want to be read. In the special case where the content is documentation for open-source software, it becomes imperative that the software documentation allow itself to be modified and redistributed so that new documentation can be derived from old documentation when new software is derived from old software.
We can consider content to be robust if it is accurate and comprehensible. The levels of accuracy and comprehensibility of content increase when reader feedback is incorporated into new versions. In other words, an open-content development model presents the image of many readers-as-editors, each focusing on the aspects of the work that interests them.
Finally, if there are many readers of a work, there will be lots of feedback that points out what is missing. This gives the author (or authors) the information they need to plan new versions of the work. If readers are welcome to participate in the authoring, they might write and submit corrected or new portions of the work, thus distributing the workload and potentially creating something better than one person (or a small group of people) could have.
Open content licenses include the Open Publication License (www.opencontent.org/openpub), the GNU Free Documentation License (www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl/html) and the Linux Documentation Project boilerplate (www.linuxdoc.org/manifesto.html). Each of these allows the work to which it is applied to be modified and redistributed. The first of these has provisions for placing restrictions on the distribution of the work in printed format. Such a restriction could help a publishing company recoup the cost of creating the book (a process that involves many person-hours of labor and, of course, a lot of paper). I personally recommend that if companies choose to include this restriction when a book is initially published that they later remove it, for example, after development and other costs are recouped or after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. Allowing the creation of paper versions of a work (i.e., excluding the optional restriction) might help it to reach people in markets where it would not normally be distributed.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I'm greedy so someone with the looks and the good attitude. Second choice would be average looks and good attitude.
Where is the option for ugly with bad personality? Maybe I'm a sucker for punishment.
I voted to be alone. If I were to pick having someone who was beautiful, in time they would grow to be ugly as they got older. If I went with someone having a good attitude but ugly in time I fear their attitude might change. Being alone is the best option.
just stop.
average looks and average personality.

Have a small singer merritt machine with the thread holder on the back. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to thread it. Anyone have an idea? It was gotten at a yard sale without the manual.
Thanks greengirl |

Is this the one?? If so you can probably figure it out from this picture. Kathi http://www.sewingonline.co.uk/machines/merrit/ |
- Posted by greengirls (My Page) on Tue, May 30, 06 at 17:34
Thanks kathi, not the one, tho. This machine is smaller than a featherweight - 10" in length and 8" in height and the thread holder sits down low on the bottom right side in the back. |
Have your tried emailing their customer support? Maybe they can send you an instruction book. Colleen |
I have the same problem. Someone gave me a Singer Merritt 212 with no thread holder attachment. I have looked for parts and a manual but not found them yet. My sister sent me this website. http://www.sew4less.com/product_details.php?ProductID=926 Check our this web site as they have a manual listed that you can purchase for $14.95. There is a Singer store in my area so I am going to check them oput also and see if they can be of any help. |

The College Program Questions thread
Hey guys, since a lot of posts are about the College Program, I thought maybe this would be a good place to keep everything in one place. Ask questions, get answers, tell about your experiences, etc.
I was a CP from Jan. to August '05. I was in operations at the Magic Kingdom doing the Haunted Mansion and switched to entertainment as a performer. |
I had my interview last Tuesday and requested the Haunted Mansion, it's a classic attraction that I would just love to work at. How was your experience working at the HM?
Cool, HM is my first choice (I really want to do operations, I interview tomorrow). It must be pretty hard to get though, I'm sure everybody wants to work there.
hey teh fish, you were a great character performer! :earboy2: Hopefully I can be one too (that's my dream. :cloud9: )
I have some questions
I am thinking about doing the college program fall 06 or spring 07. I want to know how hard it is to get into it. I would also like to know the difference between CP and Advanced CP. My advisor at school is not being very helpful. I was also wondering if you need to save up money for things like tolietries? I have heard that it does not pay well. Thank you to anyone that responds. :banana:
The Mansion was pretty cool. It ruined the magic, but hey, working at WDW does that too you. Everynight, two of us would have to walk through the entire ride picking up loose items dropped by guests, which was pretty cool. Not having to smile was great, b/c there were those days...And if you're a CP, you're definitely working the afternoon/closing shift. You get to walk through Adventureland in your Mansion costume with no guests in the park. binigrl, Mansion is number 2 on the most requested, right after Tower of Terror. Joanna, thanks! Always nice to meet people AFTER you get a picture with them. Stitch_lover, it's not that difficult to get into the CP. Just make sure you quality for it. The difference between regular program and advanced is the advanced is more of an internship with you being able to get management or actual work experience, unless you're thinking of advantage, which is just working over the summer in addition to the semester. Also, while the pay per hour isn't that much, as a CP you're guaranteed 30 hrs. If you make your lunch and don't go out and spend it, you'll actually save some money. Overtime is where it's at. |
Thank you so much but now for the really stupid question how do you know if you qualify? :confused3
they have it on the website http://www.wdwcollegeprogram.com/sap...y/app_req.html
Thank you for the link.
Stitch_lover_Sith, I am hoping to apply for Fall 2006 as well. I think it would be really cool to help open the celebration, and then close it too. I would LOVE to do either entertainment or operations. I've already done 1 CP (Jan. to Aug. 2005) so I want to do another one as I want to work at Disney full-time one day.
I'm planning on doing the CP in Spring of 2007... I need at least 45 credits to do it in my school.
i just saw that they now have one for people on quarter system!!! im so excited now.
There's no IP thread, so excuse me while I shamelessly muscle in on your's. :teeth:
What's the accomodation like? How much space do you get? On the ruining the magic scale, just how bad is it? If I worked at Epcot, would I still be able to ride Snow White's Scary Adventures 3 times in a row and scream like a girl? |
So, I had my interview today, I think I did pretty well, but I don't want to jinx it. They asked me all the questions everyone has mentioned, the space mountain one, the merchandise one, the best and worst moments at my current job, my favorite thing to do at Disney and, why I think I'm good for the job. I said no the QSF&B question. My first choice is operations, but I also applied for merchandise, hospitality and full service food and beverage. Now I play the waiting game, I'm not gonna be able to concentrate. :banana:

.- Thanks to assistance provided by Aid to the Church in Need, the Bishops in Cuba are now evangelizing the country using small comic books on the lives of Fr. Felix Varela and Our Lady of Charity. ACN financed the printing of 80,000 copies of the comic book, "Father Felix Varela, the Cuban Saint," which is being distributed among young people in order to introduce them to "one of the most important men from Cuba."
The life of Fr. Varela is narrated in the color booklet along with direct quotes and explanations on the life and work of the priest, who Cuban writer Jose Marti called, "the Cuban saint" and the "total patriot."
The Secretariat of the Bishops Conference of Cuba said the life of Fr. Varela was chosen for the comic book because his example and his teaching represent the best of Cubans and their faith and helped to found and nourish "love of country and the practice of virtue."
The Secretariat also explained that the comic books are intended to spark interest in knowing more about "that person who knew how to respond, with truth and love founded upon his Christian commitment," to the challenge of the times in which the Cuban nation and the "dream of freedom" were born.
Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana and President of the Bishops Conference, stated, "The Cuban Catholic is inheritor of the Christian and patriotic thought of Fr. Felix Varela, of his zeal for independence, of his love for Cuba, of his faithfulness to the Church."
According to the bishops, the comic book will be the inspiration for the new generations of Cubans to fulfill the convictions of Father Varela: "young people are the sweet hope of the nation."
Aid to the Church in need also financed the printing of 100,000 comic books on the story of Our Lady of Charity, Cuba's patroness.

At the board meeting in February, Ray Lampe (Dr BBQ) presented an opportunity to the BOD regarding an updated version of the KCBS cookbook. His presentation sounded very cool, that it would be so much more than a cookbook, but a look back at the organization from the roots to current. What ever happened with this opportunity? I havent seen it on any agenda or meeting minutes/updates since. Thanks in advance for answering.

Album Rating: 2.5carouse: Very fair point. See, that's why I was confused a few pages back when someone said that the review reads more like a 2/5, because I actually gave it quite a bit of praise. Aside the vocals (which really are the largest detractor for me (and a big one at that)) I'm most bothered by the scatterbrained nature of the album. I think the lyrics are brilliant for the most part, but it's hard to enjoy them when I only really like Burnett's voice when it's being manipulated and contorted. Whenever the user panel gets fixed I'll probably go back and spruce this up a bit, maybe add another paragraph fleshing out a few of my criticisms. Thanks for the input.
Album Rating: 2.0Damn it, so I can't be all over it making fun of Tyr. :[
Fair enough; and trust me, it doesn't bring the review down very much at all, I was more just curious than anything. As for the vocals- I think it's pretty obvious that they are what creates a sharp divide, as (even though this may sound like a copout, it seems to hold true for the most part) those not accustomed to a more raw or aggressive aesthetic in the vocal department tend to enjoy this much less. I have to admit that they put me off originally, too.
Album Rating: 4.5Blackjack
Great review! From the songs I've listened to, this seems to be the more correct opinion around these parts. I especially like your final sentence.
Album Rating: 2.0"those not accustomed to a more raw or aggressive aesthetic in the vocal department tend to enjoy this much less. I have to admit that they put me off originally, too." Please define "raw or aggressive aesthetic in the vocal department". I've been listening to music with "harsh/raw/aggressive" vocals for 5 years and I still don't like the vocals here for the most part.
When I hear someone say 'raw vocals' I think of Garm's vocals on Borknagar's s/t
cool review, correct rating.
"Please define "raw or aggressive aesthetic in the vocal department". I've been listening to music with "harsh/raw/aggressive" vocals for 5 years and I still don't like the vocals here for the most part." Obviously it was a generalization with exceptions.
awesome POS
Album Rating: 2.5planewreck: Thank you kindly =] carouse: I'm accustomed to and predisposed to liking heavier, or 'grittier' stuff, I just feel like the vocals on The Money Store are a little forced and exaggerated at points. I get what you're saying though, it's something that people will either welcome or be put off by. Even though I don't think my rating will climb any higher than this, this album still has its moments, and I've certainly been playing it a lot to see what sticks with me and what doesn't. Thankfully, I'm able to enjoy a few tracks from the experience.
Album Rating: 2.0"Obviously it was a generalization with exceptions." Idk, it seems pretty far fetched since usually people don't have the same criteria for different styles of music. I definitely don't wanna hear someone rap in growls. (as much as I don't give shit about death metal lyrics) Also, as already implied - it's pretty vague. You could mean punk, you could mean hardcore, you could mean certain styles of metal, you could even mean EBM/industrial and whatnot. Or all of them, which would kinda lead back to the question of criteria.
Album Rating: 2.5Wolfhorde: Haha, you just gave me a pretty amusing mental image.
Album Rating: 2.0You would not want to know what happens in rehearsel rooms when everyone is too drunk to play actual songs.
This record cover has been all over what are you listening to threads. For someone that usually finds even the most "quality" or "groundbreaking" hiphop boring, is this even worth hearing?
Lol planewreq "correct opinion"? Do you realize how douchey that makes you sound?
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThis is pure energy, it's sort of a love/hate. You should check it out though.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offpure awesome
Anyone who says an album is overrated in a review summary should be banned from reviewing.

But not anyone can write *Readable* code... which *others* can read. Coding is fun? No. Solving a problem, like solving a puzzle can be fun. Finding the best solution is fun, but just the typing for the computer to do something is actually boring, I don't know if this is because I wrote already a bunch of code myself that the nice part is actually the design of the solution. If the fun is to find more people to come to our field, just pay better and you get more people who find interesting to code.

Sad | empresslya's Blog
I don't know why but I am so sad so often and there is one person in my life that I feel is my kryptonite. That person is my mom. I avoid her when I can but there are times when we have to interacts. Espcially since we live in the same house. I don't have the time to go into detail about our tumoltuous relationship. I have hardly slept I have finals in just a few days and she is yelling at me and threatning to throw me into the streets. So what could I do I told her ok. That seemed to enrage her even more. I mean what am I to do. I have very little money and I have a child to take care of. I am doing the best that I can. The she wants me to go lie and commit fraud so she can save money and I refused. I just cried a little. I did not even really yell back I am just too tired to keep fighting a stupid war with her. Then she tries to make me feel bad by calling me names just because I would not commit fraud for her. I have had to live with her for so long. She is manipulative, mean, and mentally ill. I am just gonna take a shower then a nap and hope to feel better in the morning. I don't mean to be a dead beat downer. I am not sad all the time (really I am not) Its just that sometimes something happens and I get really depressed and I have to nudge myself back to balance. I am getting so much better control of my emotions. Maybe I do eat to feel better. If I am I should find something else to feel better. You know how sometimes you do things without really realizing it. I guess I am trying to fill the void from the absentee father, mentally ill mother, lack of family ( they don't tend to like me and vice versa) We are a cold bunch that separates into our own little cliques. I just want to put on some Eminem right now, but I can't because my cousin came to my house and stole my things.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
is it just a bug of my FL5 Studio?
I can't get FontLab to generate a .otf font from the same .vfb file i can generate a .ttf file with. It doesn't give me any warning, FL just freezes at 92% while trying to generate the .otf font. I tried to save the .vfb file under a new name. It still generates .ttf but not .otf. How can i detect what's wrong?
i'm guessing that there may be problems with some of your character outlines. you might try opening the generated TTF file in FontLab and then trying to generate an OTF font from that file, that sometimes works for me. Otherwise, you may want to go back through glyph-by-glyph and check for outline errors that you can correct. It may be that you have too many points on some glyphs?
Thanks Paul,
Generating .otf from .ttf is still not working. What do you consider too many points on some glyphs? This is happening just with this particular font. The letters are made of dots (sixteen per cap height), so, of course there are many points. Why is .otf having problems with too many points? I wouldn't mind just generating .ttf, BUT: .ttf is turning the circular dots into squarish shapes that i don't like to have. Also in some glyphs it makes some dots heavier and others thinner (which is probably a hinting issue).
Neither TTF nor a huge number of points should be a problem -- check out the BPDots pack, which contain both TTF and CFF flavour OTFs.
You may have trouble with encoding, reencode the glyphs and check the font info if there s everything ok. From my experience, the number of points doesn t have any influence on export.
It's got also nothing to do with encoding (not with number of points anyway). Whatever i change it won't generate OTF -- only TTF. I think my FontLab is getting worn out ...
I remember having something like this a long time ago. I think I solved it by enabling or disabling 'Use subroutines to compress outlines in the CFF table' in FL's prefs.
Phew! This was it, thanks Artur! That made my day. Can you remember how you found out about this?
if your font is very repetitive (e.g. consists just of dots or squares), then the subroutinization can take a really long time, sometimes 20 minutes, and for a large font even more. The result then is a very small font but well, the generation takes time. This is how it works, it's not a "problem".
But if you don't care much about the font size, then you can turn of the subroutinization and the generation process will be much faster.
In fact, Mac OS X 10.4 sometimes has problems with heavily-subroutinized fonts so actually it may make sense to turn it off altogether.
Can you remember how you found out about this?
I think it was something in between pulling out my hair and plain trial and erroring. :)
Ok, thanks for clarifying this. The font size is indeed big. When i am more patient, i will try to wait for the subroutinization process.
But lately i have also strange behaviour -- when generating OTF from a normal font -- that one or two glyphs (h and i or l) don't show up in applications. They print however. It was easy to solve by just pasting the glyph into the cell window anew. But i never had this before. And it didn't occur when generating TTF.
@ Artur
Was the photo of your avatar taken befor then or are you bald headed now? ;-)
Blimey - it worked! :)
I had two fonts that had all sorts of strange behaviour in OpenType format (on MacOSX 10.4), but worked fine in TrueType. Yes, both fonts contained repetitive elements, and I suspected that was somehow the culprit. I though I had tried turning off "subroutine compression" before generating too, but I probably had some remnants in some cache or something...
I tried unchecking and regenerating now, and both fonts work fine :)
I have upgraded to 10.5 in the meantime, so that may have helped, though...
Yes, the file size balooned, but at least the fonts work!
Lesson learned: turn off subroutine compression before generating OpenType fonts with very repetitive elements.
Thanks! :)
Yes, actually, the bug in Mac OS X is very annoying. After all, the point of the compression through subroutines was to get the smallest possible size, and this worked especially good in fonts with repetitive elements -- but such fonts actually "bomb" in Mac OS X 10.4 if using the compression.
So basically, whenever you'd theoretically get the best possible results using the compression, you actually have to resign from the compression at all.
But this was fixed in 10.5, right?
So eventually, when font developers are willing to forget support for 10.4, we can use this functionality to the logical extreme.
But with bandwidth and data storage constantly expanding and dropping in price, is the file size of a font such a major concern? By the time hardware running 10.4 (and incapable of the upgrade to 10.5) falls dead, squeezing that last font on to a hard disk will be the least of our concerns.
I'm still running such a machine, BTW. This old G4 Sawtooth has been pretty much bulletproof.
I'm still running such a machine, BTW. This old G4 Sawtooth has been pretty much bulletproof.
Same with me. I do not intend to leave my PowerPC G4 aside for the sake of OS 10.5.
Hey, it's going to be years from now. Just saying, eventually....
Big changes in the type industry take a long time. OpenType becoming the de facto standard for new fonts, for example. I tend to have a pretty long-term view of these things.

An offhand remark prompted Edina native Franz Gastler's effort to lift girls out of poverty.
Franz Gastler
In a region of India where girls are often marginalized, illiterate and married off by age 16, Edina native Franz Gastler is creating hope and joy through the sport of soccer.
Gastler is co-founder of a youth sports organization called Yuwa, which started in 2008 with one team from the village of Hutup and has since expanded to 13 teams and more than 200 girls.
Yuwa's teams begin humbly: The girls save money for shoes and practice barefoot on the brown pastures that pass for soccer fields. But over time, the players gain a sense of commitment, a rededication to schooling, and confidence they would otherwise lack.
"Without that self-belief," Gastler said, "you can come in with all the fancy ideas for education you want, but you're going to have a bunch of kids who can't even speak for themselves."
Gastler, 30, returned to Minnesota this week for the holidays and a fundraiser for Yuwa, which is named after the Hindi word for youth.
Among its early accomplishments: None of the girls from the original team got married in their teens, unlike their older sisters. Several are now in college. One player made an Indian national team.
It was hardly Gastler's master plan after graduating from Edina High School in 2000 and going to Boston University, then Harvard. He worked for an economic development organization in New Delhi, but found colleagues there unwilling to leave their desks to identify needs. He sought cultural immersion by moving into a mud hut in Hutup and teaching at a government school. Inspiration came from a girl's offhand comment in 2008 that she wanted to play soccer.
Gastler told her he would coach a team if she could find more girls who wanted to play -- even though he knew little about the sport. He was a hockey goalie growing up.
"I kind of taught the girls how to play ice hockey first with a soccer ball," he said with a laugh. "There were a lot of body checks and things."
Gastler invited boys too, but the boys in the patriarchal culture seemed indifferent unless they received new jerseys and equipment. The girls desired only a ball and a field.
"The girls, they weren't going to get this chance again, and they knew it," Gastler said.
Prying the girls from home was the hard part; in that part of India, they're expected to cook, clean and tend vegetable fields, he said. "It was a huge battle between the girls and most of their mothers," Gastler said. "The dads also weren't very gung-ho about it, but it was generally the mothers who would suffer when the girls were out of the house."
The jersey problem
The girls' enthusiasm won. Gastler formed the organization with donations, personal savings and the $2,000 monthly stipend from the economic development organization for which he worked. Three Edina classmates helped found Yuwa.
His next discovery: Handing out free jerseys proved problematic, because the girls' brothers and fathers just took them. Instead, the girls now save up 100 rupees (a little more than $2) to pay a third of the cost of soccer cleats, and receive jerseys after participating for four months. (Many jerseys are leftovers from the Edina Soccer Club, and still bear the Edina logo.) Gastler said it's harder for others to take away uniforms from girls who have worked so hard to earn them.
The girls elect captains who make sure teammates go to school. English-language classes after practices supplement the girls' educations.
Gamechangers grant
Yuwa earned a $25,000 Nike Gamechangers grant to build a playing facility, and is now large enough that it recruits interns from the U.S. to teach English. Two top female soccer players from the U.S. and U.K., Joanna Lohman and Lianne Sanderson, are visiting next month.
Though the girls take soccer seriously -- competing for spots on national teams -- Gastler said success on the field is secondary: "If you make winning your goal, you won't really achieve much because you'll start caring about the scoreboard and not the kids' development."

I had posted this erroneously on someone else build. I have used all manner of weapons my entire adult life. While I miss the ability to fire full auto - now that it's my limited dollars, I won't miss it all that much. My lower/upper receivers/BCG:http://shop.si-defense.com/product_p/si%20ar-15%20lwr-al.htmSI Defense AR-15 Billet A3 Upper Receiver, Stripped Barrel: (although I'm a little concerned with the maker, but we'll see how she fires in the spring)AR 15 Match H-Bar Rifle Barrel - 16" No fixed front sight. I will be attaching folding sights, just not sure which manufacturer quite yet. As this is a carbine length weapon, I stayed with the standard trigger from RRA. If I decide to build a different upper (possibly 6.5 or 6.8, or maybe just a 20" stainless barrel for range/match shooting), I'll be buying a much more expensive drop in 2 stage trigger. I hear good things about RRA's NMA 2-stage triggers as well as Timney's. Pricey that last one...... Handguards. The last M4 I carried had Vltor CASV-EL - partly because of the ability to mount an M203. I'm accustomed to the feel of these handguards, but am open to something comparable if you have any suggestion. I frankly loved the Vltor Modstocks and will be going with one of them. I'm not doing high risk entries anymore, so I may skip the Tango down foregrip.. I'm looking at a flash suppressor or compensator, but honestly, I've fired so many rounds down a barrel of either an M16 or M4, I don't think the rise is all that big a deal. Any thoughts on this and a preference? I've already got a good cleaning kit from Otis. Ammo is another area where I could use some help (both for plinking and more serious shooting) Optics - as this is a carbine, it would probably be smart to go with a red dot. I've been drooling on sights like Planet Optics now for about 2 months.

The view from my window Polaroid autofocus 660 camera
Testing out a second hand polaroid camera i bought - which already had some original 600 film left in! I guess its old - thats why the images are not so accurate. But i love the feel to it! I caught this glimpse of a rainbow (actually a double rainbow) out of my window and snapped it! - - - Its obviously old - signs from pads drying up in the corners!
This photo was shot on film. Taken by ehmahh with a Polaroid 600 loaded with Polaroid 600 film in Dartford, kent., United Kingdom. These tags describe this photo: polaroid, 600, film, instant, house, rainbow, garden, autofocus, 660, and camera. Date: 2011-10-26. Time: Afternoon.

I think you might have the same polaroid camera as me! I have some colour film waiting for me for when I finish exams but I think I prefer the B+W. Nothing beats this amazing golden original though :)
@Purepaty, i certainly was very happy with this shot - it was the view from my bedroom window so luckily had my camera at hand for the quick snap!

text: I've had the SBD dry cereal with skim milk and particularly like the one with whole grains and strawberries. Is there any other cereal anyone can recommend that is phase 2 acceptable, low sugar and whole grain? It seems almost every cereal has soooo much sugar, much more than allowed. The only other healthy cereals I seem to see are by Kashi. Some contain brown rice syrup and I've never heard of this. The south SBD cereal has evaporated cane juices so I know this is must be acceptable. Thanks for your help!!

Saw palmetto, shrub palmetto, dwarf palm
The saw palmetto tree is native to North America. It grows 4–10 feet tall depending on its region. The medicinal part is the ripe, dried berry, also called Sabal fructus. Both the berries and seeds of the saw palmetto plant are used.
Saw palmetto is claimed to reduce the signs and symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It is widely used in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
Research on saw palmetto for treating symptoms of BPH are inconsistent and contradictory.
Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Saw palmetto is claimed to stimulate the appetite, tone and strengthen the male reproductive system, and reduce inflammation of the prostate. There are claims that saw palmetto extracts may also enhance sexual desire and functioning and alleviate some of the afflictions of old age.
Saw palmetto berry extracts are found in tablet, extract, tea, and capsule form.
The saw palmetto berries and extract are considered safe. There are few side effects, except for mild headaches and stomach problems in rare cases.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking any herbal medicines.
There are no known significant food or drug interactions.
Always consult with a physician before starting any type of herbal therapy.

What's It All About, Deano?
• Looks like Quentin Tarantino's World War II "bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission-film," Inglorious Bastards, could be ready in time for Cannes 2009. He says he wants Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio, but we all know he'll end up hiring, like, Alan Thicke and Mr. T. [Hollywood Wiretap]
• Lance Armstrong has unloaded another girlfriend. And Kate Hudson has unloaded another boyfriend. We'd say they were perfect for each other, but they just tried that. [Us Magazine]
• Jerry Lewis was cited for carrying a concealed gun at Las Vegas airport, but his reps say it was just a "hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show." Is this the show that happens at 4 a.m. in his hotel room when he softly murmurs, "What's it all about, Deano?" [HuffPost/AP]
• Police say it wasn't Shia LaBeouf's fault he flipped his pickup, even if he was drinking and driving with Adrien Grenier's girlfriend in the passenger seat. [People]

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Spooky!
Facts about Spooky
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Spooky's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Spooky is a 3 year old cat that appeared on his caregivers doorstep one morning, looking lost and hungry. He is affectionate, and loves to be held. He has been neutered, and is up to date on shots. He tested positive for feline leukemis and aids, but has remained healthy thank's to his caregiver. She is unable to take him inside but has made as comfortable as possible on her porch. The cold winter is fast approaching and Spooky desperately need a home...even a foster home, if you can not adopt him. Living outside takes a toll on immune compromised animals. No one know how long Spooky will live with his illness, but he is healthy now. Please open your heart and home so that Spooky will have the love he so deserves
Other Pets at Bayonne Feral Cat Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Spooky, a Bayonne Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Bayonne, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Bayonne.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bayonne already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bayonne breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bayonne paves the way for another one to be saved.

Apple TV Starts Shipping Today
techitout (998972) writes | more than 7 years ago
techitout (998972) writes "According to Jim Dalrymple of Macworld, the Apple TV began shipping today:
Apple told customers that the Apple TV is now shipping, say several readers and a staffer of Macworld who had pre-ordered the device. While delivery times vary, most units are expected to be delivered by the end of this week.
Analysts are musing that this will be an even bigger opportunity than the iPhone (maybe not generate the same amount of fan-fare, but likely stronger long-term profitability)."

I don't know if I'll ever be able to do more than a 5k race though, it just seems so far out there.
It's funny how far your body can go if you gradually increase the mileage. Back in high school, the farthest I'd ever run was 5 miles. That seemed like a very long run. In college I think I got up to about 7 miles. Still seemed epic. Three years ago (which was still eons after high school and college), when I decided to try a half-marathon, 13 miles seemed insane. But I went with a plan that had me starting with a "long" run of about 4 miles, and week-by-week, got me up to 13 miles in about 4 months. You just have a day of the week that you do your long run, and add about 10% to the mileage every week.
Nowadays, when I think of a 5k, I'm thinking that's not enough enough miles to get warmed up! And in my long runs, I'm usually trying to egg myself on by telling myself things like "it's only 5 more miles". At which point I usually follow that up with "Jesus Christ, when did I get so sick in the head?!?"

We were looking to catch brunch at Mary's last week and found out that it has been closed since November. Too bad. It was a great breakfast/brunch place.
We were looking to catch brunch at Mary's last week and found out that it has been closed since November. Too bad. It was a great breakfast/brunch place.
They have the average breakfast plates, and other special things. The food was good, with huge portions. We had the omelette with spinach and goat cheese, it comes with hash brown potatoes and toast. I would go back for a quick breakfast, although the coffee was not that good.
Not a fancy place by any means but the food was wonderful and so plentiful. The dishes are so big they could be split.
Was looking for a quick, easy breakfast downtown and found this Cafe. No nonsense menu and very quick and very excellent service from Val. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a quick bite before shopping or museums.
A great find . friendly no nonsense diner near to Mag Mile. Good food and service. approx. 20 /25 dollars to set you up for a day exploring the windy city. Great chicken noodle soup.
Ok, it's nothing super special, you're average diner fare with average diner decor... But after having left the hipster coffee shop because of the sullen attitude and slow service before we even ordered, and not even trying the other hipster restaurant because the line was almost out the door... This place was refreshing and perfect. Immediate seating, super friendly staff.... More
Its ok. The place is mostly for tourists. Breakfast for 2 cost us $35. Not worth it. Service was excellent and the foonis sub par.
This was recommended to us by the valet at the Hyatt. It was 3 blocks from the hotel and easy to find. I went with the stack which Mary's is famous for hash browns on the bottom, biscuits on top of that with sausage or whatever you want on them, melted cheese, 2 eggs on top of that and gravy... More
Place was just a little hole in the wall kind of place, although it was a very nice hole in the wall. Inexpensive, very quick, great taste, good portion, kids loved it for a quick lunch. Would definitely go back. Just about 2 blocks from Marriott on Magnificent Mile
We have always enjoyed stopping at Mary's on a weekend morning! It's always like being at home! They are extremely friendly and make you feel like you're part of their family!
