Building multilingual sites in Drupal using the i18n module always throws up a few fun problems to be solved. One of the most awkward being views.
The i18n views integration module does an excellent job of allowing you to return only nodes matching a particular language, but it doesn't help when it comes to translating the view itself - and more importantly allowing a view to site nicely into multiple positions in the menu (one per language).
The solution is to use the excellent insert view module (http://drupal.org/project/insert_view - you can use this guide to get the module and filter working - http://drupal.org/node/85769) to embed a view directly into a node. We will then translate the node (getting a new menu item for each language as you would with a normal node). You can optionally specify a different view per language (to enable you to translate things like the empty text), or just use the same view accross all languages.
And thats all there is to it! Just to recap -
- Download the insert_view module http://drupal.org/project/insert_view
- Follow this guide to configure your filters
- Set up your view, and optionally a version of your view for each target language (if you have text within the view that requires translation)
- Create a new node and insert your view into it using the view filter tag [view:name of view]
- Translate this node into each target language, each translation can have its own menu entry
- Sit back and relax :)
Excellent, I searched all over for this
Way cool.
I was struggling with a dual language view, wondering how I was going to manage translating the Title and such. This approach makes it so much simpler. Elegant.
Funnily enough, I use the insert views module on this site already, but it did not occur to me to use it in this context. ...... D'oh!!
I'd like to note that in Drupal 6, one can obtain the same result using panel nodes instead of the insert_node module.
good job, but why dont you post that on drupal.org, so everyone can participate.
but thx anyway
What a seviour !
Yes it would be great if you post it on the how to's section on drupal.org !
Thanks a lot
Does this work with views arguments ? Basically is there an easy way to make the node (page) you created pass on it's arguments to the embedded view ?
Thank you!
I have a problem with dynamic-current-language. View shows all content in all languages, not just current user language.
Hi! This looks promising. Any ideas on how to implement views menu tabs with this approach?? I've searched all over for a solution. No luck so far...

Anderson Crest Jewelry - Rings, Pendants, Cufflinks, Bracelets and more - Direct from the makers.
There are several spelling variations for the Clan Anderson surname. Anderson – MacAndrew – Gillanders etc, are all surnames associated with the name Andrew. Mac and Mc are interchangeable. (Mac in Gaelic means "son of"). Included are families (known as Septs) with different surnames from the original Anderson clan name.
The Clan Anderson Crest which all members are entitled to wear, is from the crest on top of the Clan Anderson Chief's "Coat of Arms". The complete Anderson Coat of Arms is displayed only by the Clan Chief and passes down directly to his eldest son and heir. The wearing of your Clan Anderson Chief's Crest, is a way of honoring your Chief, your Clan and your Anderson Family Ancestry.
We make this selection of Anderson Scottish Crest Jewelry and Wall Crest - as your link to your Scottish Bloodline.
Click each box to view Anderson clan crest items: See your Anderson family history below:
Clan Anderson: No Current Chief
Origin of Name: Andrew - a Greek name meaning manly.
Gaelic Name: MacGill'Aindreis meaning "son of the servant of
St Andrew".
Clan Crest : An Oak tree.
Clan Motto: Stand sure.
Lands: Badenoch.
Of all the Clans of Scotland, it is the Anderson name which is bound most intrinsically to the bedrock of Scottish culture. The origin of the name is linked closely to the exalted figure of St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, as the name means both "son of Andrew" and "servant of St Andrew". As is often the case with Scottish Clans there are two forms of the name and in the Highlands the Clan is known as MacAndrew ("mac" meaning "the son of" in the Gaelic tongue), with the name Anderson being more widespread in the lowland areas of Scotland. The Clan itself is recorded in the Kinrara manuscript as coming to the lands of Badenoch, in the heart of Clan Chattan territory, from Moidart around 1400.
The strength of the Anderson's was much enhanced by their association with other Clans. The Anderson's are closely connected with Clan Ross, which is known to the Highlanders as Clan Aindreas, meaning "the children of Andrew" in Gaelic. Clan Aindreas draws its bloodline from the ancient Celtic people of Scotland, compounding the Anderson's connections to the Scottish nation.
Since the 15th century the Andersons have also been part of Clan Chattan, the mighty federation of Clans, which is renowned in Scottish history for its strength in the face of any opposition. Clan Chattan, known as "Clan of the Wildcat" traditionally consists of sixteen Clans, including Clan Mackintosh (whose chief is also the chief of Clan Chattan), Clan Macpherson, Clan Davidson and Clan MacBean. The formidable power of this federation is demonstrated in Clan Chattan's crest of a wildcat, and their foreboding motto "Touch not the cat bot a glove" meaning "don't touch the cat without a glove", indicating to any enemies that they would have to be well protected before they rile Clan Chattan, or any of the Clans that belonged to it.
Of the famous Andersons, it is perhaps John MacAndrew of Dalnahatnich who reached the most legendary status in the annals of Scotland's history. MacAndrew, known in Gaelic as Iain Beg (meaning "little John"), was a celebrated Bowman who struck terror into the hearts of those who came into conflict with him. Such unfortunates included a band of Lochaber cattle rustlers who raided Badenoch and drove off a large number of cattle, only to be pursued by a group of men, including the famed Ian Beg MacAndrew. When the thieves were overtaken and a fight ensued, MacAndrew killed most of the cattle rustlers, leaving only one of their number who escaped back to Lochaber to recount the tale.
The Anderson Clan crest is an oak tree with the proud Anderson clan motto "Stand Sure"
Our Scottish Heritage is the common bond that unites our Anderson family name forever.

The fit was wonderful! it was a great, simple top that i can wear by its self or under a jacket. I wish I had gotten it in more colors!
July 28, 2013
Nice shirt!!!!
This shirt looks great with shorts or jeans. Love the zipper in the back makes it look more classic then just a plain tee.
July 3, 2013
Great fit!
Great fit, great for everyday look. I'm a 0 and the xs fits perfectly.
June 20, 2013
Cute but don't recommend
I liked this item for being a simple classic look, with a bit of interest with the detail in the back.
As others have said, the quality isn't the best. I have probably washed it no more than 5 times, and I noticed it getting moderately pilled and looking worn already.
The zipper constantly catches my hair. I always this shirt with an up do so the detail is visible, but even in a ponytail, I am constantly hurting myself as it pulls out hair.
June 18, 2013
to short for me
This top is super cute but runs really small. I have a lot of Limited tops and this one I was disappointed to have to return. To short for a 5'8" person. Otherwise I liked it. Something different with the zipper back. Wish it would have worked.
June 16, 2013
Nice solid colored shirt!
I love the comfortable material of this shirt. Fits nicely and washes well. Great Quality and perfect to dress up or down.
June 9, 2013
Pretty color, decent fit
The fit is a little off at the armpit with a little bunching, but other than that (which is minor) I think the fit is good. I bought the green and it's very vibrant and pretty and can be worn under a suit or with jeans
June 7, 2013
Have It In Several Colors
Comfortable and stylish! Every fashionista should have one!

Now, everyone picture Linus stuffing himself with this.
Shit's actually really good
Phoronix: Linux 3.9-rc5 Kernel Is Not Really Peculiar
Linus Torvalds released Linux 3.9-rc5 on Easter. This kernel midway through the Linux 3.9 kernel cycle isn't particularly thrilling but does provide fixes for new features...
Now, everyone picture Linus stuffing himself with this.
Shit's actually really good
Kernel 3.9-rc5 has trouble with USB [3.9-rc4 is ok] ... does not mount properly the USB drives ... for example, KDE does not show information about the new drive, and you will not see errors in dmesg :P
sorry for "the mess" I think this is KDE bug ... or not ? ... now I am going to testing it
PS. ok already I'm sure ... is certainly, a kernel error. At the 3.9-rc4 is ok, under 3.9-rc5 on 4 of my machines the same - KDE does not see the drive [goes to "manually" mount] ... but did not inform the drive is connected.

I don't know if Michael covered this fixes when he did the original article on the Filesystem pull for 3.9, but h-online' 3.9 coverage says....
The development team behind the still-experimental filesystem have also merged a number of other changes, including changes aimed at further improving the filesystem's fsync performance, which is considered problematic (1 and others). When defragmenting Btrfs filesystems containing snapshots, data segments shared by multiple snapshots are now preserved and are no longer subject to space-wasting splitting. A SUSE developer has also improved the send/receive code so that, if required, it will now send metadata only this is supposed to improve the efficiency of SUSE's "snapper".

POTSDAM Though SUNY Potsdam President John F. Schwaller announced his resignation Tuesday, officials in Albany will consider the vacancy next week, stoking fears of a shared presidency.
The truth is, the impending presidential vacancy at Potsdam will be discussed by the SUNY board of trustees at its upcoming meeting Wednesday, spokesman David Belsky said. We wont know anything until then.
Mr. Schwallers departure, effective July 31, comes after a tumultuous period for SUNY Potsdam and neighboring SUNY Canton. Last year, SUNY Central promoted a shared-services initiative that would consolidate administration at the schools. SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy was asked to step down, and Mr. Schwaller would serve as president of both campuses.
SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy stepped down at the end of August. However, SUNY Central stepped back from the shared presidency after protests from the Canton college community, appointing Carli C. Schiffner to the Canton post in the interim. Despite requests from college officials, the state has not yet authorized a search for a permanent replacement.
Earlier this month, SUNY Central spokesman David D. Doyle said SUNY Cantons vacant presidency also would be discussed at next weeks board of trustees meeting, raising concerns over whether the new hire will be asked to serve as president of both campuses.
SUNY Canton College Council Chairman Ronald M. ONeill is uncertain about the new vacancy.
We have no idea how this latest development may or may not impact SUNY Canton, he said. There is no agenda posted on the SUNY website regarding the trustees upcoming December board meeting, so we do not even know if it will be a topic of discussion then.
Mr. Belsky said there is no timeline for finding a new president when vacancies occur, but the process is straightforward. Typically, SUNY college councils form a search committee to initiate the search.
SUNY Potsdam College Council Chairman Roger B. Linden said Tuesday he will call a special meeting of the council to address the issue.
Then, SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher will appoint a representative to the committee and give permission for the recruitment to begin, SUNY Potsdam spokeswoman Alexandra M. Jacobs said.
As you know, we cant just begin the search for a new president, she said. There is a process that we have to go through and we need approval from SUNY Central.
At neighboring SUNY Canton, Mr. ONeill is still waiting to begin his presidential search, though SUNY Central has known of the vacancy since August 2011.
The Canton College Council continues to be greatly concerned about the future of our presidency, he said. Despite our search committee having been duly constituted according to SUNY Central guidelines for more than 14 months, we have still not been authorized by the chancellor to begin our presidential search.
In the meantime, questions remain about Mr. Schwallers sudden and surprising resignation.
He was unavailable for comment Wednesday, Ms. Jacobs said.
This is a sensitive time for him, she said. There will, of course, be a point where he will talk more about this.

Well, I think the race course is a great space for people who want to exercise or get some fresh air (fresh air in Mumbai... hah!) . If this huge piece of land is otherwise used for harassing poor horses for people's entertainment and gambling, why not let the Government use it to build something that will benefit the public? Like a gymkhana with good facilities or a fun park?

Office chairs come in a wide range of shapes, functions, colors and sizes. It is important to know what type of office chair is best suitable for your application. It is first important to determine the best upholstery and frame choice for you or your employees. Office chairs are offered in mesh, fabric, leather and sometimes polyurethane. Fabric and leather office chairs have historically been the most popular choices but new materials like mesh are growing in demand. Mesh office chairs are much more breathable than leather and fabric office chairs, keeping the user cooler for long hours in the chair. You will also find office chair designs with metal or wood frames giving you the option of matching surrounding furniture.
Office chairs will also come in a variety of back size options including: low back, mid back and high back office chairs. A low back office chair is often used for computing and tasking applications while mid back and high back chairs are usually suitable for management, executive or ergonomic office chairs. Some chairs will also feature a headrest. It is important that the headrest doesn't impede your movement and make you feel uncomfortable. Do not use a headrest that sits at the top of the back portion of your head because it can cause neck tension.
Ergonomic office chairs have become a huge area of office furniture in itself. The popularity of ergonomcis is growing in office design because of its efficient and safe concepts. Ergonomic office chairs are designed to align the user in the most advantageous position possible to minimize stress and tension while seated for multiple hours at a time. Ergonomic office chair designs range from fully adjustable chairs adjusted by the user to chairs that adjust to the person itself. Many of these chairs are considered "intensive use chairs" because they are made with the durability to endure round the clock use rated at 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

David P. Haney, The Challenge of Coleridge: Ethics and Interpretation in Romanticism and Modern Philosophy Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Sun, 03/20/2005 - 10:10 David P. Haney, The Challenge of Coleridge: Ethics and Interpretation in Romanticism and Modern Philosophy. Literature and Philosophy Series. University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2001. xviii + 309pp. $59.00. (ISBN 0-271-02051-2). Reviewed by Anya Taylor John Jay College of Criminal Justice - CUNY The Challenge of Coleridge aims to demonstrate the overlap between hermeneutics and ethics, to show how reading deeply may lead to acting morally, how reading and respecting the otherness of a written text resembles hearing and respecting the otherness of an individual person. The book hopes to encourage a new way of teaching the humanities, by "placing the texts of the past and the present into a conversation in which the attention of both partners is focused, albeit from different historical horizons, on important issues of mutual concern" and thus to remove the humanities from "the criteria of technological production" by which university administrators often evaluate their worth (xiii). Even as it promotes the idea of conversations and dialogues on issues, the book engages in such conversations, ranging widely over living and dead philosophers. As Haney ventures into his vast terrain, he is guided by "Gadamer's notion of a transhistorical conversation that is more comprehensive than the horizon of either the modern interpreter or the historical text, a concept which . . . can provide an important alternative to the currently dominant ideological interpretations of history" (xii). Those of us who teach the humanities enter the field of this book with great hope that ethics, morality, and the conscience will be clearly applied to actions as well as interactive words to deepen our teaching of texts and perhaps even our engagements with actual persons. Chapter headings such as "Knowledge, Being, and Hermeneutics," "Oneself as Another: Coleridgean Subjectivity," and "Love, Otherness, and the Absolute Self" promise opportunities for meaningful contemplation. The recollection of Haney's fine "Aesthetics and Ethics in Gadamer, Levinas, and Romanticism: Problems of Phronesis and Techne" (PMLA 114.1 1999, 32-45) adds to the anticipation. Tags: David P.

Alexander S. Gourlay, ed., Prophetic Character: Essays on William Blake in Honor of John E. Grant Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Sun, 03/20/2005 - 09:10 Alexander S. Gourlay, ed., Prophetic Character: Essays on William Blake in Honor of John E. Grant. Locust Hill Literary Studies, no. 33. West Cornwall, CT: Locust Hill Press, 2002. xviii + 396pp. Illus. $60.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-93395-196-5). Reviewed by James T. Harris University of South Carolina A book dedicated to the distinguished legacy of John E. Grant in Blake studies should rigorously challenge traditional and established ways of understanding Blake. It should also provide readers with innovative approaches to his oeuvre. Furthermore, it should raise questions that may remain unanswered for now and yet point to fruitful paths for other students and scholars of Blake. Prophetic Character: Essays on William Blake in Honor of John E. Grant exceeds these expectations. Several contributors--Catherine L. McClenahan, Morton D. Paley, and Richard J. Squibbs--present groundbreaking essays on topics that have received little or no critical attention, while others, Michael Ferber, Alexander S. Gourlay, and G. A. Rosso, offer chapters that demand reconsiderations of Blake and his art. This collection contains thirteen unique and provocative essays that engage the reader at every turn. Tags: Alexander S.

Clara Tuite, Romantic Austen: Sexual Politics and the Literary Canon Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 16:33 Clara Tuite, Romantic Austen: Sexual Politics and the Literary Canon. Cambridge Studies in Romanticism, no. 49. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002. xiii + 242 pp. Illus.: 4 halftones. $60.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-521-80859-6). Reviewed by Devoney Looser University of Missouri-Columbia Debates about whether or not Austen is "Romantic" have raged for decades, so it is surprising that Clara Tuite's forceful book is the first to address the subject. Tuite's argument, that Austen's writings are steeped in some of the ideologies of Romanticism, is certainly accurate. It should seem odd to label Austen an Augustan or Regency author, either removed from her own day and age or placed in a literary category all her own. Tuite's book might provoke arguments about which ideologies Austen's texts display, but Romantic Austen provides the groundwork on which future scholars who consider the matter will need to build. Those who expect to see comparison to the "big six" and their relationship to Austen's oeuvre will be either disappointed or surprised. Though there are a handful of references to Wordsworth and Coleridge, the names Shelley, Keats, Byron, and Blake do not appear herein. The Romantic to whom Tuite repeatedly compares Austen is Edmund Burke; the term she most often associates with both figures is "organicism" (11). As Tuite puts it, "it is possible to identify Austen with a kind of Burkean position that venerates the country ideal and attempts the 'renovation' of the paternal aristocratic order" as the natural order (170). Likening Austen to Burke does not tell the whole story for Tuite. What complicates Austen's debt to Burke is "feminocentrism," a feature that shows Austen's "commitment to upward mobility for women" and that makes her a kind of "Tory feminist" (95; 170). Austen manifests a greater liberal and professional investment in writing than does Hannah More or Jane West, according to Tuite; Austen also exhibits a greater sense of the "aesthetic as an autonomous category" (171). Tuite's study explores "the relationship between aristocratic apologia and female social mobility" in Austen's writings (155).

Philip Shaw, Waterloo and the Romantic Imagination Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 15:33 Philip Shaw, Waterloo and the Romantic Imagination. Basingstoke: Palgrave, 2002. xvi + 260 pp. $69.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-333-99435-3). Reviewed by Charles Rzepka Boston University Philip Shaw's Waterloo and the Romantic Imagination combines detailed and extensive research into cultural, scientific, political, and artistic responses to the deciding engagement of the Napoleonic Wars with a challenging, and largely persuasive, reading of its often paradoxical impact on the major writers of the romantic movement. Employing a Lacanian mode of cultural analysis, Shaw succeeds in up-ending traditional apocalyptic views of Waterloo as a unifying, and unified, historical watershed in the rise of Great Britain as a modern nation state. As he is at pains to show, far from serving to consolidate the victors' national identity, Napoleon's final defeat tested "ideas of nationhood, authority and the relations between violence and identity" in a more profound manner than the War itself ever could have done (x).

Leah Price, The Anthology and the Rise of the Novel: From Richardson to George Eliot Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 14:33 Leah Price, The Anthology and the Rise of the Novel: From Richardson to George Eliot. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000. vii + 224pp. $55.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-521-78208-2). Reviewed by Michael Gamer University of Pennsylvania Within a culture of the excerpt, the novel forms a test case. Few genres have been better placed to escape the anthology's sphere of influence. Sheer scale helps define the novel. So do the pace and duration of reading which the scale elicits. But the novel depends just as much on readers' resistance to those demands. Skipping (or anthologizing) and skimming (or abridging) have never been separable from a genre that cracks under its own weight. (5) Leah Price has written an original and cogent book, one that will invite readers to find pleasure in their own habits of reading and compel literary critics to become more self-conscious about how, when, and why we quote, excerpt, and paraphrase. Reviewing a book whose chapters feature section headings like "The Ethics of the Review" (137) feels somewhat like responding to a dare, and my own opening epigraph (without question) has been selected with more than usual care after reading Price's clever and playful study. As it suggests, part of her aim is to expand our sense of the sheer range of anthologizing acts out there--from "[s]kipping (or anthologizing) and skimming (or abridging)" to extracting, compiling, indexing, and expunging--not to mention connecting these acts of reading to the material texts they produce. The analogies inscribed in such parenthetical shifts as "skimming (or abridging)" are key to the book's daring and pleasures. They also form the keystone of its project of combining studies in book history and narrative technique, and of shifting the focus of both critical approaches to readers. Thus, Price's introduction compares acts of anthologizing to those of literary reviewing, cinematic previewing, and quoting out of context, all of which "depend on a gentleman's agreement to take the parts of a work for the whole" (2).

Jerrold E. Hogle, The Undergrounds of The Phantom of the Opera: Sublimation and the Gothic in Leroux's Novel and Its Progeny Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 13:33 Jerrold E. Hogle, The Undergrounds of The Phantom of the Opera: Sublimation and the Gothic in Leroux's Novel and Its Progeny. New York: Palgrave, 2002. xv + 261pp. $69.95. (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-312-29346-1). Reviewed by Steven Bruhm Mount St. Vincent University "What accounts for the continuities and the discontinuities in the history of this shifting but ongoing phenomenon?," Jerrold Hogle asks of The Phantom of the Opera (xi). "What 'cultural work'--what symbolic shaping of the way we think in the West--does The Phantom of the Opera keep doing for us in its original form and in the wider variations on it?" (xi). Beginning with these questions, Hogle gives us a subtle, nuanced, and lucid excavation of the social and psychological undergrounds that Leroux's Erik and his "progeny" throughout the twentieth century inhabit. These undergrounds, Hogle argues, "turn out to be deep-seated anomalies in Western European life--crossings of boundaries between class, racial, gender, and other distinctions--that are quite basic to, but commonly shunted off as 'other' than, the social and individual construction of a rise middle-class 'identity'" (xii). Put another way, the Phantoms are "sublimations" of cultural anxieties, displaced into a monstrously other figure yet resonant and legible as that which white Western culture needs to solidify its sense of itself as a developed and healthy people.

New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2003. 360 pp. $10.76 (Pbk; ISBN: 0-618-08489-4). Reviewed by Laura Mandell Miami University Three excellent new teaching editions of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein have appeared over the last decade. All three make use of the 1818 text rather than the last, much revised 1831 edition for reasons stated most succinctly by Judith Wilt: "Increasingly [editorial] practice favors the 'first' text, true to its cultural and biographical context, rather than a later, authorized text, in which the writer is often at work 'modernizing' the original child of his or her brain" (13). But in the case of Frankenstein, there is slightly more involved in preferring the 1818 to the 1831 text. Wilt summarizes the reception history of various editions (14), and J. Paul Hunter includes in his edition the text that has had the most impact on our current preference for teaching the 1818 text, Anne K. Mellor's "Choosing a Text of Frankenstein to Teach."1 Mellor argues that "the 1818 edition alone presents a stable and coherent conception of the character of Victor Frankenstein and of Mary Shelley's political and moral ideology" (qtd. in Hunter 37). Significantly, though, Mellor means to open up discussions about comparing various editions rather than to definitively foreclose on them, and her article might provide a useful blueprint for introducing literature students to the biases hidden in editorial choices, invisible to those who simply pick up a text and read it as if it were "Mary Shelley's."

E. J. Clery, Women's Gothic: From Clara Reeve to Mary Shelley Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/19/2004 - 10:33 E. J. Clery, Women's Gothic: From Clara Reeve to Mary Shelley. Devon, U.K.: Northcote House, 2000 viii + 168 pp. $21.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-7463-0872-8). Reviewed by Harriet Kramer Linkin New Mexico State University, Las Cruces The explosion of interest in Gothic literature during the past twenty-five years has resulted in a tremendous group of books, especially among scholars working on women's Gothic literature or the female Gothic (notably Bette Roberts's 1980 The Gothic Romance, Julian Fleenor's 1983 collection The Female Gothic, Kate Ferguson Ellis's 1989 The Contested Castle, Eugenia DeLamotte's 1990 Perils of the Night, Michelle Massé's 1992 In the Name of Love, Terry Castle's 1995 The Female Thermometer, Anne Williams's 1995 Art of Darkness, and Diane Hoeveler's 1998 Gothic Feminism). Emma Clery's Women's Gothic makes a rich contribution to the field that is both distinctive and innovative in looking exclusively at women's Gothic literature to argue against the simplicity of a separatist tradition that differentiates the male Gothic from the female Gothic. Rather than read women's Gothic works as "parables of patriarchy involving the heroine's danger from wicked father figures, and her search for the absent mother," the classic approach that positions the "'Female Gothic'" within the "notion of a distinctive women's tradition" (as Ellen Moers usefully defined "Female Gothic" in her 1977 opus Literary Women), Clery productively turns the issue of valuation upside down to ask "what happens if we lay aside our assumptions about women's writing and look again at women's Gothic? What we find there suggests the need for another story: wild passions, the sublime, supernatural phenomena, violent conflict, murder and torture, sexual excess and perversion, outlandish settings, strange minglings of history and fantasy" (2). That is the story Clery seeks to tell in Women's Gothic as she offers lucid, concise, and finely researched overviews of the works of Clara Reeve, Sophia Lee, Ann Radcliffe, Joanna Baillie, Charlotte Dacre, and Mary Shelley for Isobel Armstrong's "Writers and Their Work" series (which currently includes over one hundred brief studies of authors and literary movements).

Jerome J. McGann, Radiant Textuality: Literature after the World Wide Web Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Sat, 12/20/2003 - 15:11 Jerome J. McGann, Radiant Textuality: Literature after the World Wide Web. New York: Palgrave, 2001. xv + 272pp. $39.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-312-29352-6). $19.95 (Ppbk; ISBN: 1-4039-6436-X, 2004). Reviewed by Ron Broglio Georgia Institute of Technology Jerome McGann's introduction "Beginning Again: Humanities and Digital Culture, 1993-2000" gives us a glimpse at how far computing in the humanities has come in less than a decade, and it signals possible directions for the future. McGann situates humanities computing at a critical moment: [W]e stand on the edge of a period that will see the complete editorial transformation of our inherited cultural archive. That event is neither a possibility nor a likelihood; it is a certainty. As it emerges around us, it exposes our need for critical tools of the same material and formal order that can execute our other permanent scholarly function: to imagine what we don't know in a disciplined and deliberate fashion. (18) The way scholars work with new media has changed drastically over the years. As a collection of McGann's essays during the 1990s, Radiant Textuality bears witness to these changes--from digital editing in the mid-1990s, to pondering the ontology of the text in the late-1990s, and then to critical gaming in the new millennium. As the collection proceeds, chapter by chapter we see McGann's concerns shift, themes emerge, and new possibilities arise alongside the developments in digital technology. Unifying the diverse experiments in Radiant Textuality is McGann's persistence in finding ways that new media can improve the exploration and interpretation of aesthetic works.

Susan Manning, Fragments of Union: Making Connections in Scottish and American Writing Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Sat, 12/20/2003 - 14:11 Susan Manning, Fragments of Union: Making Connections in Scottish and American Writing. New York: Palgrave, 2002. vii + 249 pp. Illus.: 7 halftones. £55.00/$69.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-333-76025-5). Reviewed by Janet Sorensen Indiana University, Bloomington Scotland, once relegated to the margins of studies in Romanticism, has reemerged in recent scholarship as a geographical and intellectual site that at once anticipated key Romantic topoi and provided the conceptual basis of much Romantic cultural theory. Susan Manning's contribution to these studies is the most theoretically sophisticated and wide-ranging to date, moving fluidly between cultural politics, post-structuralist and psychoanalytic methodologies and traversing Scottish and American texts produced between the 1707 Act of Union and the American Civil War. At all points hesitant to identify causal relationships between specific political and cultural circumstances and the philosophical thought she outlines, Manning nonetheless makes a convincing argument regarding the significance of the post-Culloden Scottish intellectual milieu to subsequent Romantic motifs of fragmentation, of structural dismemberment, of incomplete memory, of unregistered mourning, and to the unstable narratives of union designed to acknowledge and sometimes overcome these threats to personal and national identity. In her discussion of the Scottish and North American literary negotiations of such fraught narratives, Manning profoundly complicates the very notion of national Romantic traditions. Temporally, she reveals links between Scottish Enlightenment and Romantic thought, particularly through her focus on David Hume and the Common Sense philosophers, such as Thomas Reid, who sought to discredit Hume but unwittingly propelled his views into the future. Spatially, she demonstrates the intricate connections between Scottish and North American writing as she describes how that most American "structure of thinking," e pluribus unum, is "characteristic of the writing of the Scottish Enlightenment" (2).

My Nautilus is completely stock exept for:
-slightly oversized rudder (you can't really tell unless you were to hold up a stock one to my oversized one.)
-additional rear dive planes set aft of the propellor. Very necessary for fun operation of the boat. The stock planes work, but just barely. With the new planes, I have complete and accurate control over the model's pitch, and my APC works perfectly.
Andy, I'll try to get some more shots of the Nautilus underway at full throttle. Might need to wait a bit, though, as I seem to have stretched my wife's patience with several long runs at the lake in quick succession to each other.
OH! I almost forgot. I just finished adding a new battery. The original 12V, 7Ah battery worked well, but I wanted longer run time. I replaced it with a huge honkin' 12V 12Ah. It just barely fits in the bow. A sheet of styrofoam added above gives even more static stability and it actually trimmed out perfectly the first time on my guess! How's that for luck?
Runtime is now in excess of 4 hours with plenty of full throttle runs.

Noisebridge has a lot of them, they're mostly sorted, mostly sitting on our South wall shelf.
The books are currently for the most part sorted thanks to Al. Proposed systems to help keep the books mostly organized:
- Color code or number shelves and books. Books that belong on the "Yellow" shelf will have a yellow sticker on it.
- Leave it chaos
- bar codes or QR codes or library of congress index numbers
Library Catalog
A library catalog system for Noisebridge would be awesome! Here are some requirements, adding items to this list doesn't actually mean anything.
High Priority
- Open source software with a nice license that wont fuck us over in the future.
- Web based.
- Quickly add books to the library via ISBN or bar code scan.
- Book search returns the last known location of a book (such as "Green Shelf" or "Book Case 8").
- Books can have a checked out status in addition to its last known location, date of check out should be displayed.
- Users can check out books without the need to register, as in when they check out a book it'll ask for a name and email, blank entries should be allowed as anonymous.
- Users who leave an email address will get a reminder email with a list of books they have checked out once a week.
Low Priority
- Integration with http://openlibrary.org.
- Book search returns results with descriptions and a cover scraped from some other part of the internet.
- Library database in an open format to easily export later on.
- Ability to use a barcode scanner.
Possible Solutions

Something that is beyond absolute bullshit and pisses you off. It is actually a homophone or same sounding word to FAIL. It comes from the combination of fail + hale. Hale is actually hell. As corporations become more paranoid about their employees, they utilize keyloggers and chat monitors. Certain words like fail, hell, f*ck, phuck, etc are marked as key words and trigger more logging on an employee's computer. Phale is a word to express bitterness or call something out when you encounter the common WTF scenario.
This place is phale. The phale is strong. What the phale?

17. Mai 2010
Recently unearthed by one, JMP, phale is now commonly used and recognized as a word that signifies mental incapabilities and a rare disease: the Jumping Frenchman of Maine Disorder, a disease commonly carried in French Canadian lumberjacks. An emergency health notice from AMTA (American Medical Treatment Association) has urged anyone coming into contact with another who frequently uses this word to call their hotline : 1-800-455-AMTA.
Due to lack of Jumping Frenchman of Maine Disorder and a fear of spreading, an example of PHALE in a sentence will be posted at a later time when a quarantine can be put into effect.

Not much of a change on my r300 cards. Nothing seems broken either though.
My main issue is with the textured video. Trying to play a 352x240 .avi fullscreen (roughly 1600x1200 centered in my 1920x1200 monitor) in vlc with overlay (i.e. XVideo port -1):
vlc: 14% CPU
Xorg: 3.9% CPU
With textured video (i.e. XVideo port 1):
vlc: 40% CPU
Xorg: 40% CPU
The quality of the video with overlay seems better also, its much softer and less pixelated. I.e. textured video seems to be using bilinear and overlay bicubic or something better. What algorithm is the textured video using? Is there more than one choice, and if so, how do I change it?
EDIT: Just a note, I retested with a previous radeon revision, and it completely swamped my CPU, so it seems things are getting slightly better. I'm guessing on r300 maybe the shaders just aren't powerful enough, or is it a driver issue?

Indian Visa Fees Unacceptable Hike of Nearly 120%
Your Excellency, The High Commissioner Of India I refer to the India Government's decision to increase the India Visa fees from £42 to £92 from 17th January 2013. This is more than 100% increase at a time when most British families are suffering hardship due to the economic conditions. You may be aware that sometimes British Indians do not have a choice but to visit India because of religious reasons or family celebration reasons so for them it is a necessity to visit the country of origin i.e India. If one was choosing India as a place to visit as a Tourist then one may decide on some other destination because of this terrible increase in Visa fees but if it is a necessity then one does not have a choice. Furthermore, you may be aware that British Indians do like to visit India usually as a family and for an average family of four the new visa fees would be almost £400!. Most British Indian families prefer to take their Children born in Britain to visit India to help them make connections with the country of origin. There is already a 'trend' developing amongst British born Indians around the whole issue of Country of origin and having some 'loyalty/kinship' to India. This huge increase in Visa fees charges will not help to improve the already difficult situation many British Indian parents face in this sense. Furthermore, there are lot of elderly people (pensioners) on low income who visit India through organised tours. They will find it very hard to pay £92 visa fees. I suspect what I have said above applies to Indian Americans, Indian Canadians etc. On one hand the Indian Government is encouraging the world wide Indian diaspora to support India in many different areas but on the other hand it gives out 'wrong' messages to the same people by increasing Visa charges to sky high levels. I know the visa increase will apply to all British citizens and not only to British Indians but the impact would be very serious on British Indians in a number of different ways. I am not saying the charges should not be increased. If they need to be increased then it should be a reasonable increase. I would be grateful if you would convey my views based upon the angry feedback I have received from many people in Leicester to the Prime Ministers office in India with a request that the Indian Government should reconsider the level of Fees increase . I look forward to receiving your reply. Thank you Vinod Popat Chairman – British Hindu Voice

I have to say well done to both Fedora and the Nouveau developers!
It would be ironic if Nouveau got into a better state overall than the radeonhd or ati drivers =/
Phoronix: Testing Out The Nouveau Driver On Fedora 11
With the forthcoming release of Fedora 11, Red Hat has made the bold (but wise) decision of replacing xf86-video-nv as the default open-source NVIDIA driver with the Nouveau driver instead. The xf86-video-nv driver is officially maintained by NVIDIA, but it's their half-assed attempt at being open-source friendly...
I have to say well done to both Fedora and the Nouveau developers!
It would be ironic if Nouveau got into a better state overall than the radeonhd or ati drivers =/
How is multi-monitor hotplugging support?
The proprietary Nvidia drivers always had a problem with this. If you plug in a monitor, it isn't recognized. Then, when you detect the monitor through Nvidia X Server Settings, the monitors are combined into one big screen. Maximizing a window will stretch it over all available monitors. You have to log out and restart the X server before multi-monitor works correctly.
Fantastic work done by fedora as usual.
I only wish yum was half as fast as apt, and there was a fully open source equivalent to canonical's soyuz. To bad that neither will ever happen.
On most modern hardware yum is probably fine.
On my aspire one (atom n270, 8GiB ssd) it took over 14 hours to upgrade from fedora 10 to rawhide. This was mid February. 14 hours is far too long to upgrade to a following release.
My experience with yum is fairly current. Fedora 10 was what I tried to upgrade to rawhide as I detailed above.
I will see if i can make it repeatable and provide more information.
This is just awesome!
A big thank you to all nouveau and fedora developers! Great work.

Car subwoofer buying guide
Find the bass that fits your taste, budget, and vehicle
Ken Nail has written about car audio for Crutchfield since 2003, after four years as Crutchfield Sales Advisor, and 10 years as a music teacher. He's an avid music listener, whose favorites are classical and film music. When not chained to a desk, Ken spends most of his time training for triathlons and marathons, and likes getting outside for backpacking, downhill skiing, and bicycle touring. He attended West Virginia University, where he received a Master's Degree in Music Performance and a Bachelor's Degree in History.
More from Ken Nail
Subwoofers are speakers dedicated solely to reproducing low frequencies. No matter what kind of music you like, or how softly or loudly you like to listen, a quality sub can really improve your overall listening experience. Car speakers are small, so they have trouble producing enough low-frequency sound to give your music realism and depth. A subwoofer can make the difference between a good-sounding and a great-sounding system.
There are a lot of different ways to add a subwoofer to your vehicle. Which one is right for you depends on a lot of different factors, including your musical tastes, budget, and how much space you have available in your vehicle.
What kind of sub should you get?
Look at the statements below. Which one matches up best to your needs?
I want to pick and choose components to build a truly personalized system.
You should start by looking at component subs. A component sub is just the speaker itself — it'll need to be mounted in a subwoofer enclosure (usually simply called a "box") to operate properly. In addition, you'll need to power the sub with an external amplifier. Component subs usually range in size from 8" to 15". There are models designed to operate on low or high power, and in a variety of different types of boxes. They are several different impedance and voice coil setups, so you can pick and choose among models to match up to your system design. If you're starting from the ground up in designing your custom system, choosing the subwoofer is a great place to start. [Shop for component subs]
I want an easy "off-the-shelf" sub/enclosure combo.
Check out enclosed subs. Enclosed subs are pre-mounted into a box designed to accommodate the sub. This eliminates the need to choose an enclosure for the sub, so you won't have to do as much work designing and building your system. On the down side, you'll be limited on the number of speaker and box-type choices you have. You'll still need an external amp to power the sub. [Shop for enclosed subs]Enclosed subwoofers, like this Rockford Fosgate Prime R1 12" package, match a sub or two with a perfectly sized box.
I want a simple, space-saving bass system.
A powered sub is a great way to go. A powered sub combines an amplifier and woofer in an enclosure. Since the amplifier is built-in, there's only one piece of equipment to find a place for and install. Many powered subs are compact and won't take up a lot of room in your vehicle. While powered subs can be very effective bass producers, their smaller drivers and amplifiers may not provide all the sound power you want if you're looking for really big bass. On the other hand, their relatively simple installation and small size make them a great add-on to factory stereo systems. [Shop for powered subs]
I want a sub that will blend in with my car's interior.
You're a prime candidate for a vehicle-specific sub, either powered or unpowered. These subs are designed to fit in out-of-the-way locations in many cars, trucks, and SUVs, and are often color-matched to the vehicle's interior. Like the powered subs we just talked about, they may not be the best choice if you're looking for really big bass, but they'll more than suffice for most listening needs without taking up a lot of interior space. [Shop for vehicle-specific subs]
I want a great bass system, but don't want to sweat the details.
Check out our bass packages. Our experts have put these together to make selecting all the right components easier — some packages include everything you need, right down to speaker wire. [Shop for bass packages]
Some key specs to consider
Once you know what type of subwoofer or system you'd like to buy, comparing specs can be helpful in making your decision. Here are some key specs to consider:
- Power — If you want a system that really booms, there's no substitute for plenty of power. Pay attention to RMS power ratings, not peak power ratings. RMS ratings measure continuous power handling or output and are a much more realistic measure than peak power. Make sure you match the sub's power handling to your amp's power output.
- Sensitivity — Sensitivity goes hand-in-hand with power to achieve high output. A sub that has a higher sensitivity rating requires less power to produce the same amount of sound as a model with a lower sensitivity rating.
- Frequency range — Frequency range gives you an idea of how low a sub can play. Keep in mind, though, that the actual performance of the sub can depend on a lot of variables, like the box type it's mounted in.
- Enclosure type — The type of enclosure a sub is mounted in will have a big effect on the type of sound it produces. In general, sealed boxes give you the deepest, most accurate sound, while ported and bandpass enclosures produce more volume.
- Number of voice coils — Dual voice coil subwoofers are a popular choice among car audio enthusiasts who want more flexibility in wiring their sound systems. While typical subwoofers have a single voice coil, dual voice coil (DVC) subwoofers use two separate voice coils, each with its own connections, mounted on one cylinder, connected to a common cone.
- Size of the woofer — It's a never-ending question — what size subwoofers play loudest and lowest? It's not an easy question — you need to consider sensitivity, enclosure type, and available power. If your ultimate goal is to have a system that plays loud and low, and space isn't an issue, go for the biggest subs. But don't underestimate smaller subs. Properly powered and in the right enclosure, smaller subs can put out plenty of sound.
- Impedance — Most subwoofers are rated at 4 ohms impedance, but 2-ohm, 8-ohm, and dual voice coil subwoofers have become commonplace. When you've chosen a subwoofer, look for amplifiers that will match up to your sub in terms of power rating and impedance. There are a wide variety of amps available, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding one that will bring out the best in the sub you've chosen.
Get Everything You Need
You'll need an amplifier to drive a component subwoofer.
If you're buying a component subwoofer, you'll need the proper enclosure.
A Dynamat kit will prevent any rattles from your sub, while reducing road noise to give you louder, richer bass.
Polyester fiber box stuffing slows sound waves inside a sub box, making the sub more efficient (and louder).
If you're going to build your own subwoofer enclosure, you'll need box building hardware.
You may need an amp wiring kit and speaker wire to send signal and power to a pre-loaded sub box or a sub/amp combo.

Magnum Photographers
EIZO and MAGNUM
October 25, 2013
Magnum Photos and EIZO Corporation have formed a global partnership, establishing a program in which 14 ambassadors (see list below) from Magnum will integrate EIZO's ColorEdge monitors into their color management workflow and provide EIZO with objective feedback on their experiences. The hope is that their insights, as working photographers in need of truly great equipment, will help EIZO in its ongoing development of new graphics monitor and calibration software solutions.
"Color and grayscale accuracy is paramount for Magnum and its photographer members. With numerous large-scale exhibitions in cultural institutions each year, ensuring the accurate translation of the image into fine-art prints is essential. The integration of EIZO's ColorEdge series monitors into our workflow will serve both the restoration of historical Magnum imagery and the production of contemporary photographs by our members" said Alex Majoli, President, Magnum Photos International.
Carl De Keyzer, Elliot Erwitt, Jim Goldberg, Paul Hayward, Alex Majoli, Enrico Mochi, Matt Murphy, Trent Parke, Martin Parr, Paolo Pellegrin, Gilles Peress, Jonathan Roquemore, Alec Soth, and Donovan Wylie.

Fly Free Zone Collar creates a "fly free" zone around the dog's face and neck, also protects dogs from biting, disease-transmitting flies, fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Read More
- Brand: Fly Free Zone
- Type: Repellent
- Form: Collar
Reviews (3)
I bought 2 collars for 2 dogs. The smell is citronella and very strong and it is oily. It says on the package that it would only keep pests away from the ears, eyes and face. I had hoped it would help with the fleas in these areas since it is difficult to treat those areas but it did not not. In less than a week, the collars were coming apart. I tried to stitch one back together but the fabric just seemed to crumble. Looks like nylon but possibly degraded from the citronella oil.
This collar is amazing! I have a dog that loves to stay outside, even in the hot summer. The flies were eating his ears and they were bleeding all the time. I tried creams but they were messy and didn't last very long. I put this collar on him when he goes out and the flies don't touch him. When he comes in, I just put the collar in a plastic bag and it's ready for his next trip out. I love that there are no chemicals in it.
"Great item"
This is a great product, I have tried a lot of things for flys on my dogs ears and this is the first thing that I have found that really works. Works great. Put it on and don't have to worry about putting on any kind of medicine.
