New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
How can I use for example the glyph name "rcaron.terminal" which has no Unicode value in HTML? or any other such case? Is it even possible? I think it must be surely but I got no clue.
It's easy for regular letters like the glyph "ß" where I would just type "ß" and get that character or "ß" (same result) but for glyphs without any Unicode value I don't know what I'm supposed to do...? I've tried also &rcaron.terminal; but nothing, where as something like "&hearts" would work giving a heart glyph of god knows what font, probably Arial I dunno.
Do I need to use state some specific encoding aside from ANSI in my html document?
ie. < meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-8" > or something... like Im really lost lol
Hello everyone,
I try to explain you the problem.
I created a typography that has both common (e.g. between "f" and "i") and custom (e.g. between "p" and "p") ligatures and used FontLab to export the font in ttf.
Now I want an HTML page to display the font and I write & #xFB01 for common ligature between "f" and "i".
But where should I operate to display custom ligature between "p" and "p"?
Thank you in advance for your attention!

As the title says: this is the html code of a table that should be displayed correctly within a typophile thread using the allowed tag iframe.
I made this introduction to typography website a couple weeks back for a class project. I wanted to give the basics of type in a super dumbed-down way. What do you guys think?
Hi everybody, i'm looking for the font of the number in the html5 logo.
Does anyone know?
Thank you.

Now that webfonts are supported by all major browsers, more and more professional fonts are available for web linking. These fonts usually contain a large set of OpenType features, which are only accessible in OpenType-savvy applications like InDesign, Illustrator or QuarkXPress. Browsers have barely supported such advanced typographic features so far. But with the latest Beta of Firefox 4 this is about to change …

Every comment needs a permalink. A fragment identifier (starting with a letter, followed by letters, numbers, dashes, or periods) is sufficient if such is exposed to us without having to view source. (It doesn't have to be like Twitter, where every Twit gets its own Web page.)
This bug is well known. We need
BLOCKQUOTE, actual heading elements (perhaps just
H2 through
H6), possibly a few more.
However, enabling the
IMG element is dangerous, as MetaFilter has learned the hard way. One can encode JavaScript exploits in URLs or the
src of an image. Limiting images to attachments (kind of odd for a Web site, less so for a discussion forum) is a reasonable compromise.
I am a traditional typographer having difficulty understanding HTML tools, some are easy, such as emphasis; though why "ital" wasn't used rather than "em" is a mystery; shouldn't "em" have been reserved for an em-space?
The above example is easy to set in typographic programs such as QuarkXPress or InDesign, and the coding made sense on Quadex and other type systems, back in the day. Note that there are hanging numerals in bold, the text is set 9/11, with alignment for breaking lines, and 2 pts additional space between paragraph returns.
The same goes for the superior shown, again, easy in Quark or InDesign, nearly impossible (at least to me) in HTML.
I hate to bring this up, but it has always bothered me about Typophile:
Quotations are the backbone of discussion, but two positively mundane HTML elements,
<q> and
<blockquote>, are disallowed?
Because of this, the poor
<cite> element is used and abused, although it is not the most appropriate markup for quotations.
According to the W3C, "
<cite>" is markup for text which "contains a citation or a reference to other sources." (HTML 4.01 Specification § 9.2.1 Phrase elements)
<cite> is fine, even giving it a little semantic wiggle room, but not allowing
<q> or
<blockquote> is just plain silly.
Given that this is a forum for discussion, shouldn't the proper markup be allowed?

CRTS - Certified Relocation and Transition Specialists in the United States are third party certified providers who assist older adults and their families through often stressful transitions, such as moving to a senior living community or modifying a home to age in place.
The CRTS designation is awarded to individuals in the unregulated Senior Move, Relocation and Transition industry who meet experience, eligibility and exam requirements. Oversight for the CRTS designation is the responsibility of the NCBAC (National Certification Board for Alzheimer Care) [1] . All CRTS certificants become part of the CRTS Professional Registry which is available for families through a national website [2]
CRTS professionals include Realtors, local and long distance movers, appraisers, estate sale specialists, home care professionals, professional organizers, Senior move managers and more.
CRTS professionals focus on alleviating client and family stress associated with relocation. CRTS professionals are a qualified resource for families and are trained to understand how home transitions are often complicated by factors such as health, personal asset management, dementia and complex family dynamics.
CRTS Certified professionals are required to pass criminal background checks, meet ongoing insurance, and continuing education requirements.

More on 'Love and Consequences' ...
I am driving to work this morning at the crack of dawn (late, not trying to lie about it ... visits every three hours from small people with demands for more milk, for an escort to the potty, will do that to you), when the phone rings. It's production associate Arwa Gunja informing me that the book we planned to talk about today, Love and Consequences, by Margaret B. Jones, a book she and I both devoured and adored, is a complete lie.
Front page of The New York Times?
I shake off the cobwebs and ask, "did you call her? ... What did she say? ... I know it's early in the morning (before 7 a.m.), but we have her phone number, so let's use it. Ask her what all this is about?"
Margaret does not answer. No surprise.
When I get to the office, my jaw drops even further as I read that Margaret, whom I'd interviewed last week, is a complete liar. She is not half-white, half-Native American, as she claims. She was never in foster care. She never lived in South Central Los Angeles.
Her real name is Margaret Seltzer, and she was raised in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles (where the Jackson Five moved after leaving Gary, Ind.). And while she claimed the book was based on her knowledge of the lives of friends in gangs, it is most certainly not her personal story.
She never even graduated from the University of Oregon.
The book (we received an advanced copy) was just published. It turns out that a lifestyle piece in The New York Times, not the original rave review a week earlier, was her undoing. Her "real" sister saw it and blew the whistle.
I noticed that a lot of people are pursuing interviews with people connected to the publisher, but I am more interested in her. Why did she do it? How did she think she could get away with it? Did she think her biological family would never tell? ... That they would disown her? ... Adopt her lie as their own?
I also want to tell you how utterly convincing she was. How she completely inhabited this character she obviously created, and how she even explained her composite characters to me. For example, a scene in the convenience store she told me about "Niecy."
Is this mental illness? ... Ambition?
I have no idea, but I do know that she is right about one thing. If she had called this the novel it is, I would never have talked to her. I just would not have. In fact, I received a publisher pitch from another woman who wrote a novel "based" on her experiences in an inner-city neighborhood. I passed on it, in part, because I feel there are too many "real" stories that are not being told.
So, you'll note that we brought you our interview with Jimmy Breslin this morning. We'd planned to air it next week, as part of a complement of stories about gang life.
Jimmy is beloved in New York, where I am from. I think his work stands up over time. His book, The Good Rat, is based heavily on court records, so I don't have any fears about this one.
On the Scouts ...
We had different views about Boys Scouts and Girls Scouts expressed this morning. I want to point out a book written by Texas Gov. Rick Perry that defends the Scouts position opposing gay troop leaders. Check out his book and an interview with him a week or so ago in The New York Times.
I need coffee now. My head hurts thinking about all the talented people who have been undone by big lies — James Frey (A Million Little Pieces earned the wrath of Oprah for presenting his fake memoir as true), Jayson Blair (New York Times reporter fired in disgrace for plagiarism), Stephen Glass (formerly of the New Republic, fired for fabrication), David Brock (former conservative attack dog journalist, now dedicated to liberal causes), Janet Cook (the former Washington Post reporter forced the paper to give back a Pulitzer Prize for fabricating a story), Misha Defonseca (her Holocaust Memoir was shown to be a hoax).
There's really only one question: why?
Will we ever know?

I had to go back and re-read the NY Times article. She gave a quote that is really coming home to roost:
"There is no greater sin in war than ignorance. Never speak or act on anything you aren't 100 percent sure of, or someone will expose your mistake and take you down for it."
Rather prophetic in hindsight.
Mental illness? Sometimes. Ambition? A lot of the time. Greed? All the time. People are greedy. Who wants to be a millionnaire? Your roadmap to millions. Make millions in your bunny slippers. Get rich on the Internet in a 4 hour workweek. Make a living without having a job. Buy a mansion with bad credit and no money down. (Well, that was last year.)
With messages like these all around us, it any wonder that some people feel like life owes them millions? That making money is more important than earning a living and making a genuine and lasting contribution to the world?
The love of money is indeed the root of all kinds of evil.
I do not understand the pathology of lying but I think that if these authors that fabricate such terrific traumas had really lived the lives to pretend is theirs they would hopefully have more respect for the hard lives some have to endure. I am working on a memoir about growing up in a domestic violent household and I would hate for my mother's story to be diminished in any way because of people who lie for profit. Her's is a story that really should be told.
I'm sorry to say this, but I think NPR really set itself up for this by your eagerness to romanticize such stories and by your complete lack of skepticism. This story had something for everybody: blacks, whites, native americans, the impoverished, gang members, and even gullible suburban whites. Something about that should have indicated to you that the story was impossible.
First off, I heard that show and fell victim also, although I do not feel victimized. I think we all should have hope that someone has escaped a terrible situation that was portrayed on that show. But how can you interegate a person, telling their story,in order to prove their story is genuine,without them feeling insulted. If a person wants to deceive others, they can and will do it. I do not condone what the author did, but one way or the other, it is a true story for so many and gives a little hope to them. I don't take this personal and I will still enjoy your program. Thank you
Just to comment on all these fabricated books. Just a few insightful questions would have exposed these people. I think of the story of the 5 year old heroin addict years ago, who can really believe a five year old is capable of shooting heroin????? Is it really feasiable that a girl can live with wolves in Eurpoe? The question I ask, why are we, the public, so quick to swallow these stories. And saying you would hve never spoke to hear if it were presented as fiction, well. there in lies the motivation for her deception. But I tend to have a keen insight for fakes, I always knew Milli Vanilli was lip-syncing and were fakes.
Thanks a lot, Margaret Setzer. You've just given the genre of memoir and creative non-fiction another black eye. You've just made it that much more difficult to publish good works of memoir.
Sorry, I have to push back on some of this.
First, the listener who claimed there is an "eagerness to romanticize these stories."
Who says?
I read the book, and there is nothing romantic about it. It's very light on the ghetto fabulousness, very heavy on the small details of how poverty wears you down.
And while we're contemplating the whys of human behavior, maybe we can spend a minute on why people love to feel smug about other people's mistakes.
What is it about people that calls forth this "I knew it all along" business when it just isn't that simple? I can't speak to the Holocaust survivor in the woods business -- I never even heard of that book until the scandal -- the book sold very little in the U.S. ... And about the Jimmy story -- about the boy who was supposedly shooting heroin -- by Janet Cook, your facts are off. The boy was supposed to have been eight, not five, and he did not shoot himself up.
Remember, I was at The Washington Post then. In that case, A LOT of people tried to speak up about that story, they were not listened to.
A very different scenario.
I can't relate to the false Holocaust memoirs, or memoirs that are putting pain to an identity, but I can relate to the Jayson Blair, "do it because I can" mentality. I am Indian American (of the subcontinent) and was born in California. My parents moved to the US 12 years before I was born. I have only been to India a handful of times, and only as a visitor. I haven't studied India in school, nor do I know that much factual information about it. Still, many many people I know ask me about it, and take my word as gospel. I take care to note that India is a country of one quarter of the world's population, but they don't seem to care that I speculate and generalize about such a vast population. I often think about how silly it seems that no one takes any more care to examine what I say, and often makes me want to say extreme and untrue things, just because I can. More fool you.
If we are gutwrenching honest, we'd admit that her "life" provided a level of entertainment (distraction from workday boredom, etc.). Listeners should quit playing the victim and have a little personal responsibility in the matter. You invested yourself poorly. It happens. It still served its lesson to educate. Perhaps not how we expected, but educate it did at the very least to the importance of integrity and the dangers of blind faith.
First, let me say I don't condone what Margaret Selzer did but I really want to know why her sister snitched. Seriously! What was the motivation for the sister not to confront the new toast-of-the town author personally for her embellishments, but relish the opportunity to give her over to public scorn?
Is it only me that thinks that maybe this kind of dysfunction with their sibling relationship might be a reason the author embodied another persona in her so called "memoir?"
Second, what about the publishing house? That's the entity that folks anger should really be directed especially just two years after the James Frey incident. The publishing houses are the ones that are more quick to stamp a new book as "memoir" to generate more sales especially for a new author than give a truly talented writer a chance for a work of fiction.
Could someone please do the investigative reporting and follow-up on this story that should already have been done by now?
1. Is the girl pictured in the NYT Home & Garden piece Seltzer's daughter? Does Seltzer have a daughter?
2. What was her relationship and history with her real family? Was she estranged from them? Was there any basis for her to believe that no one would recognize her photograph? Did anyone in her real family, or any of her friends, know of her deception?
3. Where did she get the money for her house? Does she really own it? Did a 4-bedroom house in Eugene really only cost $400,000?
4. What has happened to her agent, editor, and publisher, the NYT book reviewer, the NYT reporter who interviewed her, and WBUR's interviewer, Tom Ashbrook? Is anyone examining the conflict of interest that arises from the fact that these frauds, even after they're exposed, often sell books at a spanking rate, largely because of all the name recognition they gain from the controversy? Is everyone taking the agent, editor and publisher at their word that they really had no idea about the fraud? (Yes, of course the publisher is withdrawing the books and offering a refund. But I wonder about who's meeting with Seltzer now to start work on the memoir-about-the-memoir, a potentially lucrative product.)
5. What's going to happen next for Seltzer? Is she going to repay her advance? Is the movie deal over -- or are they going to turn it into a movie about the fraud, as they did with the JT Leroy movie, Sarah?
6. Considering the profit incentive, and the conflict of interest, how are we going to prevent publishers to turn a wilfully blind eye to future frauds, as they did here?
JMB...Ask further along the lines of what Faye Bender was thinking when she setup the International Brother/Sisterhood website back in the end on 2007 in anticipation for the publication of this book.
These players all started with an ending and filled in the spaces as they went along. But then again, that's a nothing unique for fiction writers.
Good Morning,
I am just as confused as to the lies that were told to get 15 minutes of fame or is that 20 in the publication of "Love & Consquences". Enough attention has been distracted from our real problem in the streets today facing our youth.
I thought she was such a courageous person for coming forward as I tuned in to the interview and even telephoned in an attempt to let her know that to be so courageous in the name of saving lives
was just--well--I don't really have the words for this now. It leaves me thinking of the book "Thank You God For The Morning". This is a true publication and one I recommend.
Now for my second cup of tea. =)
In Thomas Rick's excellent book on Iraq, "Fiasco," he makes the point that the military has a tradition of looking at its mistakes, and trying to formulate better strategy and tactics for the next war, but that the media rarely does. Ironically, he cites the New York Times as perhaps an exception to this, with the role of the "Public Editor," and their reexamination of the Judith Miller "fiasco." Yet the NYT's has clearly done it again, in spades.
JMB, above, raises some excellent questions. Could NPR take a break from "Hillary says this," and "Obama says that" and answer all of JMB's questions? I have some more, not so much on Seltzer herself, but the issue of the media coverage:
1. How do media organizations as diverse as the NYT, NPR and the news blog "Truth Dig" all decide at the same time that this book is newsworthy?
2. How do the critics -- the name should imply some sort of critical thinking -- all get snookered by this fraud, when at least 5-10 enormous red flags are flying? Why, oh why do we have to rely on a heroic sister who has gotten her share of abuse for being "disloyal," and accused of perhaps being the real reason for the Seltzer fraud?
3. Why do so many people think that even though it is "fiction," we will still be able to obtain insights into the South Central ghetto when the book contains lines like: after my first drug sale, I purchased a cemetery plot?
4. Like the officers who study the mistakes of the last war, will one media source take, as an act of atonement, the task of uncovering the next fraud -- and they are certainly out there -- and not rely on a sister to do it?
I realize I'm weighing in on this a bit late, but I just listened to the episode and feel compelled to write. I want to reiterate Mr. Lane's assertion that, regardless of their motives, these fraudulent writers can cause very real harm.
There is no way we can measure, for example, the number of drug addicts and alcoholics who were tragically influenced by James Frey's false paean to self-reliance in "A Million Little Pieces." It is difficult enough for addicts -- and especially young addicts -- to admit they have a problem and seek help. The exposure Frey received with publication and subsequent praise in reviews and on Oprah's show for his "courage" only reinforced the notion that treatment centers and/or 12-step programs were bogus and anti-individual (Nurse Ratched, anyone?). The wrong that Frey had already done could have at least been somewhat mitigated had Oprah not concentrated on what she perceived as a personal injury to herself and her audience, and instead devoted that time to an exploration of the book's misrepresentation of these avenues of recovery and the real help available to suffering addicts and alcoholcs.
I'm afraid I'm not as generous as your commentators were in their analyses of possible motivations for these writers. As a believing reader who never "sees it coming," I've only thought of them, once they've been exposed, as self-serving. Now, after listening to the commentators, it's nice to think that there may be better motivations. But unfortunately, intentions don't erase the fact that more ammunition has been given to the ranks of denial -- whether it is in the mind of a single drug addict, or -- far more tragically -- in the agendas of those who would bury the horrible truth of the Holocaust and the ongoing acts of genocide that continue today. That's where the harm of co-opting another's truth really lies, and as long as we continue to financially reward these writers after the fact, it's a wrong for which, ultimately, we are all answerable.
I love novels, especially first person narratives. I am always suspect of memoirs and autobiographies. The authors are giving you the view they want you to see. We may want to believe that this is truth (with a small t or a capital t) more than the author is trying to portray it as truth. It is memory. And there are those who clearly believe that truth/memory is more powerful than a well told story. I am not sure what goes on in the mind of the person who takes this to the extreme and creates the memory in order to make the good story. Knowing absolutely nothing about this young woman or the others doesn't lead me to want to psychoanalyze her or judge her too harshly. We want and they give.
On the other hand, the follow up story you did with the authors who specifically study these hoaxes was FASCINATING. You may not be able to give us all the follow up that one of the commenters called for (though I would enjoy that as well), I truly appreciate the analysis!
Oh, and I also appreciate you putting the interview up. I think it was a testament to your bravery and integrity to give us the inside scoop on both her presentation of herself and the way you felt about the book (and her). Listening to it after knowing the truth was also fascinating. Now that's real life drama I can get into.
One thing I'm wondering: With the apparent hostility between Margret Seltzer and her sister, her own story may just be more entertaining than the one she concocted. Who will ever know?
I abhor these types of fantasy autobiographies.
My wife is an English teacher and a great writer, and has had a very unusual life. She grew up in Singapore and Jamaica and then was sent to a boarding school in the U.S. before going to college at Northwestern.
We just went through some boxes and discovered a bunch of letters, diaries, photos and other information from the mid 50s to the late 70s.
I've been suggesting that she write her memoirs for some time. She wrote a short autobiography for a workshop that we attended, and it was so beautifully written and read by her that people were weeping. And it didn't concern death, poverty, drugs and murder.
It's my guess that it's going to become a lot more difficult for legitimate authors to publish truthful, interesting autobiographies in the future due to these types of cases.
I find the whole affair fascinating. Unlike Frey who was a "lite" version of the guy in his book, Seltzer created a whole fictitious self. I have many questions: Was her editor/friend in on it? She must have been. What was Seltzer's relationship with her real family? And so on. This is what tickles me: My "real life" was similar to Seltzer's fictitious one. I was lucky enough to go to a public high school in a wealthy suburb of Boston, and then went to Smith College. Despite rotten grades, I was accepted, in part by "native intelligence" (Ha!) and because of my background. I wanted nothing more than to be like my classmates - big houses, skiing trips sailing, intact families. Most of my friend's parents we academics at elite colleges, such as MIT. The kids I knew, some of whom are still my friends, had everything. Well, except for one thing: street cred. What makes this so appealing? White people want to be black people. Nobody hit this American phenomenon on the head like Albert Murray, I think. (btw, I'm Irish Catholic.) Sure, Seltzer did it for the money, but also because there are many white Americans who are "informed" by black culture. (Sorry, the designated African American doesn't roll off my tongue or spring easily from my keyboard, as black culture is an international phenomenon. ) The reason Seltzer painted herself as half Indian is how could she ever pass as black? I had not read the book, and wondering if I will find it. One review said she portrayed the poverty and desperation of her characters well. Why do white people always focus on things like this when they consider non-white culture? It's like describing a pretty girl, and focusing on a few pimples she might have. There's a whole lot of reverse minstrelsy going on, I say.
P.S. Another thought after I posted. Shouldn't a work stand on its own? Not all writers, or artists for that matter, are people you'd want to sit next to on a plane. Yes, she lied about who she is, but so what? William Styron caught a lot of flak for his Nat Turner book, yet won a Pulitzer for it. From my perspective, the "story" of Seltzer dreaming her alt.homie life is a story in itself.
I think that there are more literay hoaxes published about Native American people because non Natives cling to the racist stereotypes about us that they contain. Lynn Andrews, Carlos Castaneda, Hunbatz Men, Mary Summer Rain, Manuel Aguilar-Moreno, Vincent La Duke (Sun Bear)The Education of Little Tree, Nasdijj - all these authors concocted elaborate literary hoaxes and yet they are are still more popular among non Natives that all the works of serious scholarly Native authors combined. The Nation tried to psycho-analyze Jones, other papers blamed everything on economics - not having enough money to check the facts.
Do some deeper analysis and address the institutionalized racism in the white dominated publishing industry. Why does white American love the lies better than the truth? Why weren't there any Native American staff around this publishing house that could have exposed this obvious hoax before it went to print? Jones knew to peddle the stereotypes that her white college educated peers expected to hear. Why has there been no discussion of the institutionalized racism in the publishing industry that makes it easy for authors to create these hoaxes? Is there even a single Native American employed in any position of authority in the publishing house that printed this collection of stereotypes?
I agree with Danny Lopez. Let's have an NPR story on:
"Do some deeper analysis and address the institutionalized racism in the white dominated publishing industry. Why does white American love the lies better than the truth? Why weren't there any Native American staff around this publishing house that could have exposed this obvious hoax before it went to print? Jones knew to peddle the stereotypes that her white college educated peers expected to hear. Why has there been no discussion of the institutionalized racism in the publishing industry that makes it easy for authors to create these hoaxes? Is there even a single Native American employed in any position of authority in the publishing house that printed this collection of stereotypes?"
I listened to the show regarding this book and I generally agreed with what was said however, I disagree with a comment about American Indians as a population that is suffering, poor and unable to help themselves.
American Indians are a resilient population in North American. They have survive genocide by the american government.
WT: Wow, good point - very likely that Seltzer wouldn't have passed the "sniff test" if a publishing employee had some real life knowledge of the world she wrote about. Remember Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" skit? As soon as the bus is all-white, he discovers the drinks come out, and everybody starts to party. Consider how many businesses are like this, including publishing. Consider also, no publicity is bad publicity - any possibility that even the tattle tale sister was in on it? My daughter goes to a small school that is intentionally very multicultural. (Beyond the student body, one of her profs is from Iraq, another from Nicaragua, and her linguistics prof is a world wide authority on Mohawk language, etc.) There is so much talk about "white guilt." Until there are some changes that the previous commenters speak of, white people will have this uneasy love/hate relationship with non-white cultures. Let's say the book people believed Seltzer - then she got to "pass" and was therefore trusted. This happens - Jamaica Kinkaid, if you remember, was married to the son of the editor of the New Yorker, and even before that, sucked up to the rich well-connected white boys at Franconia College, so she got an exemption. (I know because I was there.) Most people out of the club will not get an exemption, and so their voices will never be heard, unless it appeals to the white folks. Ironically, the more the white people are "spanked" (did you read "A Small Place?") - the more they like it. Any solutions to institutionalized racsim/segregation? Pointing to the exceptions to this rule doesn't help the rest.
To answer WT's question, there probably isn't a Native American person in the the house that published this book. Isn't Margaret Seltzer writing this story (with the bundle of money that comes with it) a little like Paul Whiteman getting all the high paying gigs that Duke Ellington's band could easily have played? Problem being, of course, that the high society gigs that Whiteman's band played didn't hire anybody who wasn't white. Same old thing, I'd say.
I met Peggy while attending U of O, when she was a Starbucks employee whom a friend supervised there. She was known as a compulsive liar who spoke at length about her Native American heritage and her ethnic studies major, and had a white fluffy dog. Seems like she opted for the ghetto version of her so-called life experience in order to sell books, and traded in her wimpy dog for a pitbull -- what a metaphor.
She has caused plenty of damage. In Eugene she built a following of naiive young adults with her romantic tales of life in "da hood". Kids would sit at her feet and listen to her spin tall tales. Even now they are in denial that she lied.
She has followers in Eugene who believe that it is Peggy/Seltzer/Jones biological mother who has tried to sabotage this book.
It's a strange cult.
On the credibility of the publishing company: With all their failings to account for, now they must add lack of knowledge of English grammar. The SVP states "We feel bad for our readers....".

More volunteers needed to make June sober graduation event a success
Debbie Hamrick of Merced is starting to panic.
Hamrick and the seven other committee members planning the annual Sober Graduation party for Merced and Golden Valley high school graduates are in desperate need of about 60 more adult volunteers.
Hamrick, who has been involved in the post-graduation party for graduates of the two schools for 18 years, said volunteers are crucial to the event's success.
"At this point we have never been this short," Hamrick said. "I'm starting to panic. We are now 62 people short."
Sober Grad events are designed to provide a safe, fun and supervised environment for graduating seniors. Attractions include a casino, interactive games, a rock-climbing wall, a disc jockey with dancing, karaoke, temporary tattoos, thousands of dollars' worth of prizes, a photo booth and plenty of food and drink – nonalcoholic drink, that is.
New this year will be a comedian, committee member Linda Via said.
"It's a lot of fun and it's a great thing for the kids," Via said. "It's one really exhausting night but most of all we want it to be safe for the kids."
Organizers are hoping about 1,000 graduates and their guests will attend the June 5 event at Golden Valley High School, which runs from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Students pay $30 to defray the cost of the event.
Hamrick, whose daughter was in the second graduating class to participate in Sober Grad, said she just keeps doing it even though her children have graduated.
"I just enjoy it – just seeing the kids have a good time, are safe and not drinking," Hamrick said.
Via, who became involved in the event in 2007, said the Sober Grad program now is on Facebook. Most volunteers come through at the last minute.
The Sober Grad committee members start their planning in January with monthly meetings and then hold two meetings in May. It's always a challenge to get volunteers, Via said.
Juan Corona, 30, graduated from Golden Valley in 2002 and joined the Sober Grad effort three years ago. He's in charge of the kitchen and making sure the newly minted graduates have plenty to eat.
Corona, a substitute teacher and owner of a photography business, plans to produce a highlight video of this year's event to promote future events. He said Sober Grad is very worthwhile but couldn't be done without the support of the community and local businesses.
About $5,000 worth of prizes, including a 32-inch television set, an Xbox, a GPS, laptops, digital cameras, iPods and electronic readers, will be given away at the tail end of the event, along with cash, gas cards and gift cards for local restaurants.
Sandy Gonzales, a parent who has been involved in the event for five years, has had four children who have graduated from high school and attended the Sober Grad parties.
"I think it's great," Gonzales said. "It keeps the kids safe, which is the whole idea. There's so much to do. It's the cheapest thing you could ever buy for your senior."
But if they don't get volunteers, it won't happen, Gonzales cautioned.
Corona said two $250 scholarships will be donated for graduates of Merced and Golden Valley high schools. They each come with two tickets for the night of the event.
Via said the group has figured out what works and what doesn't. Chips, snacks, nachos, pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers definitely are part of the attraction.
Besides Corona, Gonzales, Hamrick and Via, other committee members include Laura Flores, Robin Pena, Shirl Kagel and Sue Kimes.

Kuroda Memorial Hall
January 2 - 12, March 23 - April 5, October 27 - November 8 2015.
2nd floor
This room was originally named as "Display Room" and used for exhibitions and meetings to make researches. In the earthquake proof construction in 2012, it was renovated as a special room to exhibit "Woman Reading" (1891), "Maiko" (1893), "Wisdom, Impression and Sentiment" (1899), and "Lakeside" (1897), and offers a place to interact with the works of art.
This room is originally made to honor Kuroda's works since the Kuroda Memorial Hall was designed. The Chinese characters of "Memorial Room of the Viscount Kuroda" , which were said to be written by Nakamura Fusetsu, an oil painter, were curved on the panel above the doors. Having the collection cored with the works contributed by Kuroda's family, this room offers a place to appreciate the works by Kuroda who greatly contributed to modernize the Japanese painting.
Current exhibit includes:
Strolling Beauty, By Kuroda Seiki, 1895
Study for "Talk on Ancient Romance" (A man), By Kuroda Seiki, 1896
Portrait of Dr. Terao, By Kuroda Seiki, 1909

Folded back curves pics
This is from a pattern by Annette Ornelas. I was given her book as a gift years ago and just now decided to try it. This is is not in her book, but after I played with the patterns in her book I was able to make the dragonfly.
The block is only 6&1/2 and with the double fabric to fold back and make the curves it is already heavy.
My baby sis loves dragonflies so this will be for her NEXT bday in November 2012. That gives me plenty of time to hand stitch the curves!
Plan ahead right lol!!!!!!!
Here is a link that might be useful: CurvesWithoutPiecing
Very nice. Sort of looks like Cathedral Windows technique. Good luck, it looks like a winner. Jayne
Yes you can sew them down with the machine but it is easier for me to sew them by hand.
It is like the Cathedral Windows pattern!
I'm going to mix up other blocks with this one for the quilt. It is time consuming and the pieces are small. AND the extra fabric makes it heavy.
I think this would be way to heavy for a full size quilt. Maybe that's why most of her patterns are wall size lol!!!!

Nurturing Innovation - Part 2: Supporting Innovation in All Areas.
By Andrew and Gaia Grant
Saturday, 19th July 2014
Can you imagine being part of an organisation that pays for employees to spend time working on new ideas?
An organisation that ensures all ideas at every level are welcomed and supported, one that does not simply pay lip service to the idea of innovation?
The people who work at The H J Heinz Company know exactly what this feels like. The company that is famous for making tomato sauce, pickle relish, and baked beans - along with thousands of other food products - now has plants located on six continents, and markets their products in over 200 countries and territories.
Heinz belongs to a new generation of future-focused organisations that sees the need to go beyond productivity and efficiency to higher level innovation.
The long established company, which has been around since 1869, has recently implemented a number of initiatives to support creative thinking and problem-solving across the organisation. In fact, the Heinz Global Innovation and Quality Center in southwestern Pennsylvania - situated near the headquarters in Pittsburgh - is designed with exactly that in mind.
This 100,000 sq ft facility has test and research kitchens where chefs have scheduled work time to experiment with ideas and concoct new products. It has a feedback centre that allows for direct connections with customers, who can personally give their input.
To boost marketing know-how, the company set up a simulated environment that also lets them observe consumer behaviour.
By investing in such a state of the art facility and ensuring creative thinking and problem solving is a priority, Heinz has given a strong signal that innovation should no longer be considered a luxury. Many other organisations around the world are also recognising this reality.
This year alone, Amazon.com has listed 170 published books with titles that include the word "innovation". Indeed, the topic has rapidly jumped from the "Would-Be-Nice-To-Have" category to the "Must-Do" priority of many organisations.
So how can other organisations follow suit and ensure innovation becomes embedded in their organisation at all levels? The first step to take is to embrace the fact that innovation is not simply about focusing on creative products or output. It must also be integral to how organisations operate internally.
Innovation in all areas
According to Teresa Amabile, Director of Research at Harvard Business School, while creativity is "the production of novel and useful ideas in any domain", innovation is "the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization."
By identifying the creativity capability and potential within an organisation, it should therefore be possible to be able to predict the potential for innovation and assist with providing the right environment in both areas.
In a 1961 article titled An Analysis of Creativity, James Melvin Rhodes identified what he named as the 4 Ps of Creativity, which has since become a classic interpretation. To nurture innovation, as he originally recognised, it will be critical to address the specific needs in all of these areas:
1. Person
It is important to evaluate the creative thinking skills of individuals in the organisation. This will help to identify strengths and challenges.
One useful tool is the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI), one of the world's leading measures for problem-solving, teamwork and creativity. KAI's associated psychometric instruments are designed to provide insight into how people work out problems and interact during the decision-making process.
Another very useful tool is FourSight, a more recently developed measurement that effectively identifies individual strengths in each stage of the creative thinking process. The results from these assessments can be used to develop workshops and other training opportunities aimed at helping organisations improve staff dynamics and cohesion.
2. Process
Introduce systems and processes that will support the deliberate development of creativity and innovation. For instance, certain organisations may benefit from introducing the Design Thinking process as a model.
Because it is a type of solution-focused thinking, this process begins with a goal - the improved future outcome - instead of addressing one particular difficulty.
By considering conditions in the both the present future, the specifics of the problem and potential solutions may be explored at the same time. Another well-established process is Creative Problem Solving (CPS), which provides a useful deliberate process for analysing and solving problems and coming up with superior solutions.
Tirian's Strategies for Innovative Development (SID) model also provides a comprehensive process for innovative development, considering both the organisational environmental and individual psychological factors that will support the success of the process.
3. Product
Creative strategies are all very well, but the proof is in the organisation's output. The organisation's products themselves therefore need to be assessed to identify where improvements could be made. Measures in this area should include considerations of both originality and usefulness.
4. Press (environment)
Analyse the environment and look for ways creative thinking could be bolstered. There are several tools available that can help organisations do a "climate check", or evaluate its capacity to foster innovation, such as:
a. KEYS to Creativity - An assessment tool designed to measure the climate for creativity and innovation in both teams and organisations.
b. Team Climate inventory (TCI) - Pinpoints likely points of team dysfunction for further intervention.
c. Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ) - Evaluates the atmosphere and context for change within an organisation.
It is critical that the optimal climate and surroundings for innovative development are identified. Not only will this spark the necessary change, but progress can easily tracked using these assessment methods.
Is your organisation nurturing innovation in all these areas?

No offense, but LMAO if you sold when this dropped 0.28 cents today!! Did you forget why you bought this stock in the first place? Potential TEN TO TWENTY DOLLARS PLUS++ UPSIDE. So, why on earth would you sell until we get news?! Godwin is a LYING FACT-TWISTING #$%$, and boy do I love him for it! Picked up 10K additional shares for 1.56 at 3:58pm. Saved me a couple thousand on my add-on. Thanks GW!! Core and Long as LONG as it takes. Second Land Rover license plate will read "THXAFFY" (first was "THXQCOR"...)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Just maybe the shorts got tipped off that something was coming and this was the usual drop before the pop!
It was a very good buy today for certain!
He'll, I bought hand over fist today and if GWP gets it lower, I'll mortgage the building my defunct firm was in.
I got excited when I first heard, watched the price drop all day, and submitted my buy when I watched it start heading UP just before close. Thanks GWP!! Wish I could get a good SA article like that before ALL my entries. Smirk

Is there a pattern or trick to making a cord cover?
I have purchased a swag crystal chandelier for my grandaughter's room, as well as 2 wall plug in chandelier sconces. I'd like to cover all of the cords. The ones I see from Googling-are like $35 each! The ones that are ruched (sp?) are so nice. Anyone have instructions for this? Thanks!
I'm no expert but I would think if you made a long tube sleeve out of cotton fabric (something flexible) and slipped it over the cord it would do just fine. You might want to post your question in the Sewing Forum for a more better answer from those who sew more than I do.
Long tubes of fabric will work, but eventually the ruching will slip towards the floor. I would sew the long seam and then on the very edge, zigzag down it over a piece of cord or dental floss, something strong. Then you could pull and gather it to the required length, tie it off and take a little stitch here and there to lock it in place. Then the ruching will not slip. I've also seen them open on the side with velcro so slipping the cord in is super easy. I wouldn't bother with that though, it makes them too thick.

Which southern highbush blueberry varieties display fall color?
Are they all evergreen?
Is there a particular southern highbush variety that you think has a nice fall foliage?
Most southern highbush blueberries hold onto their leaves over winter in mild climates. My Jewels and Sweetcrisp both drop yellow leaves in the fall for the most part. Two years ago Jewel held onto 50% of its leaves here in NYC, during that mild winter. Last year, no leaves on any blueberry in my yard.
My Northern highbush do put on a show in the fall. Northland, Darrow, Duke, Legacy all show brilliant fall colors.
Legacy is considered a southern highbush, so it is one that displays colors. Parentage: 'Elizabeth' x US75 (Vaccinium darrowi,'Florida 4B', x 'Bluecrop')
South Moon I think also is a colorful SHB.
This post was edited by Drew51 on Fri, May 30, 14 at 4:27
The distinctions become blurred with plants like Legacy. SHB are hybrids themselves. Legacy, and South Moon and others are hardy in the colder zones too, so they are showing more of their NHB genes.
I have NHB Liberty, Toro, and Chandler. I can't remember what Chandler looks like in fall? But the former two are awesome for colors, and they are good plants. I like the berries too!
I have Car'a Choice, and well I have no idea what it is?
These plants have been crossed and recrossed so many times....
CARA'S CHOICE is a progeny from the cross G-144 x US 165. G-144 originated from the cross 11-93 (a sibling of 'Bluecrop') x 'Darrow'. US 165 is a self of US 79, a hybrid of the diploid species Vaccinium darrowii 'Fla 4B' x US 56. US 56 originated from a cross of hexaploid V.constablaei x T-65. T-65 is a rabbiteye hybrid from the cross of 'Walker' x 11-180 (= 'Myers' x 'Black Giant'). The cross that produced CARA'S CHOICE was made by A.D. Draper at Beltsville, Maryland in approximately 1977. (note it was released in 2000).
One of the breeders involved in this cross Dr. Mark Ehlenfeldt said it is his favorite blueberry.

After it was announced that Brett Connolly will be out six weeks with a broken finger, the guys discuss the Bruins season and if they even have a chance of making the playoffs.

slid into the rotation, replacing Curt Schilling , but he had already pitched in the previous World Series. Bench man Sean Casey joined the club, although there was perhaps no player in the history of baseball that was better at fitting in with
communication and respect. "I absolutely love John Farrell," said MLB Network host, and former Red Sox first baseman, Sean Casey . "If that ends up happening that will be such a breath of fresh air in that clubhouse. Those guys, they'l do anything

Who is Heather Morris?
by WooWoo
posted Sep 29 2010 6:46AM
She is amazing! That's who Heather Morris is. So - if you watch "GLEE" like I do - you know that Heather plays the blonde cheerleader Britney. Last night she told us how Britney Spears has haunted her all her life too. HA! Britney S. Pierce. Sooo funny!! If you didn't watch "GLEE" you have no idea what I am talking about. Sorry!! OK - Let me get to the point. Geez...I have horrible ADD. (And yes - it's been diagnosed by a medical doctor!)
In real life - Heather Morris was never supposed to be on "GLEE". She was a back up dancer for Beyonce. Yes -
Beyonce. She toured with B, danced alongside her at every major awards show and traveled all across the World dancing behind Beyonce. And one day, she got a call to come to the set of the TV show "GLEE" to teach the cast some dance moves. Well - the creator of "GLEE" (Ryan Murphy) liked Britney's spunk & charisma so much that he created a character and cast her on the show. Isn't that an awesome story??!! I love those kind of stories. Below is a video of Heather Morris (Britney on "GLEE") dancing with Beyonce to "Single Ladies" at the American Music Awards. ENJOY & Happy HumpDay. I need a nap. XO---->WooWoo Here's the video:

Last week, headlines proclaimed that a new study showed that facility design has little effect on patient satisfaction—but the details of the study suggest otherwise.
Success in the healthcare design industry can be measured by various parameters, and we consider as many as we can in selecting the winners of our annual HCD 10 awards.
From chronic disease and aging populations to the continuum of care and patient satisfaction, healthcare today is facing plenty of challenges. But designers are in a unique position to bring new ideas to the table to solve them, and one new university program is tasking students with just that.
The recent build-out of an inpatient unit serves as an example of how collecting data at the front end of a project can help validate design decisions and inspire what's ultimately built.
Biofabrication, or the 3-D printing of human tissue, might sound like science fiction. But the field of regenerative medicine stands to radically change the way healthcare is delivered in the future, calling for designers to create spaces that support what's next.

Best Small 19-26 inch TV?
kashka_katMarch 12, 2010
BEST meaning ... very durable, great picture, sound
All controls on the TV and not one more remote to hunt down - how realistic is that?
I come from a Panasonic family - Panasonic everything. Is that still a good brand - like my daddy told me?
I recently bought 21 inches by Panasonic.It's really good looking and of great picture quality..
Thank you
Here is a link that might be useful: uk export controls
