Robert Frost
Robert Frost: Poet & Teacher
Upon returning to the United States, Frost purchased a farm in Franconia, New Hampshire. He soon accepted a teaching position at Amherst College, the first of many faculty appointments he held at American universities over the subsequent 45 years. Frost was almost as famous for teaching poetry as he was for writing it. When Frost accepted a summer teaching position in 1921 at the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College, where he taught for the next 42 years, he became the first ever writer-in-residence at a university. Frost was a well-liked instructor, peppering his lectures with jokes and anecdotes and encouraging students to find their individual voice, although he complained heartily about the particulars of teaching. He hated grading students' work. When a student wrote on a course evaluation that he hadn't gotten a damned thing out of the class, Frost awarded him a B. It would have been an A, Frost told a friend, if the student hadn't misspelled "damned."15
By 1920 Frost had moved his family to a home in Shaftsbury, Vermont, where he set to work on a series of new poems. They were published in 1922 as the collection New Hampshire. This collection contained one of Frost's best-known poems, "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" (which he wrote in a burst of creativity in a single night, along with the poem "New Hampshire"). In sixteen lines that, on the surface, seemed to be about little more than a traveler's moment of rest, Frost touched on death, isolation, and things too big to name. The collection earned Frost his first Pulitzer Prize in 1923. From there, his career was off and running. A second Pulitzer came in 1931 for the book Collected Poems. He won his third in 1937 for the collection A Further Range.

Feb. 9, 2014 CARROLTON, Ga. – The Jaguar Baseball team cleaned up at West Georgia to win the series 2-1 with a 6-1 game-three final over the Wolves led by GRU Augusta freshman Frank Warren's productive seven innings pitched
Bradley Dennis doubled to left center for the Jaguars (3-3) in his first at bat and Reydel Gonzalez singled back up the middle for an easy 1-0 lead. The Wolves (3-4) tied it with one run off GRU lefty-handed starter Frank Warren. It was the only one Warren would allow as the Jags' bats came alive and their starter settled in.
A 3-1 game after GRU plated two in the sixth, the Jaguars blew it open with three more in the seventh to take the series with a 6-1 final. Warren (1-0) tossed 7.0 innings in his second start and allowed four hits for one. Tyler Brown pitched two innings of relief work to match his two hits allowed with two strikeouts.
Senior Kevin Dodson in his first game back from injury, posted a 2-for-3 day with two RBI's in his senior-year debut. Hunter Boose and Jeff Rice each had two hits and two scored runs and JD Sabo went 2-for-5. The Jaguars outhit the Wolves 13-to-6.
The Jaguars play a non-conference game at Erskine slated for Monday Feb. 10 for a 2:00 p.m. first pitch.

text: I am trying to find out how I would go about making it so that facebook commenting is the only commenting that shows up on my site. As of right now I have turned off commenting in the options and have the facebook comments available. The problem with that is that it still shows "no comments" even if someone leaves a facebook comment. 1) Is there a way to disable default commenting all together? 2) Is there a way that it will count the facebook comments instead of always saying "no comment"?

Fighting for Answers From China's Central Banker
"Gov. Zhou, please give me a chance!"
This is what happens when central banks give only one press conference a year.
At the People Bank of China's annual press conference in Beijing on Monday, local journalists fought for a rare chance to put a question to China's monetary policy makers, creating tense moments.
A journalist from the Worker's Daily attempted to wrest the microphone from a Xinhua reporter. A television presenter from Hunan television grabbed the mike from her colleague at the same organization and held forth with her own question.
Sitting on the panel, central bank Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan appeared amused by the tooth-and-nail antics, smiling throughout.
Mr. Zhou, who is approaching the end of his second term at the PBOC, also got some laughs from the crowd.
In response to a question on whether he would throw his hat into the ring for the World Bank president job, after the departure of Robert Zoellick, he said "there's not too much point in thinking about it."
"If you study the history of the institution, it seems like they normally have an American in charge."

Nate's Modern Hearth Los Angeles Kitchen
Location:Los Angeles, California
Square Feet:110
How many people live in home:Two: My fiancee Giulia and I.
What makes your small kitchen so cool?
It's become our modern hearth -- clean, open, and efficient with our personality in the details: the aluminum handles, blown-glass backsplash, and Wojtek, our noble "Cyrk" bear.
One challenge you overcame in your small kitchen, or a good resource you've found.
The original kitchen was claustrophobic, poorly laid out, and shockingly remote for a house under 700sf. We (among many other things) removed two walls to open up the kitchen and make it part of the living space.
Favorite Meal to Cook in Kitchen
Salmon and salad with Giulia's secret dressing.
Favoriting and voting have ended.

Removing the wall is quite an idea... We did that too to make the kitchen an extension of the dining space... Made it More airy and brighter... Love your kitchen !

Steve Jobs: 1955 – 2011
With the sad passing of Steve Jobs yesterday, Autism Speaks wanted to take a moment to recognize the enormous contributions he and Apple made to the autism community. Jobs brought touch screen computing to the masses, and as a result of the iPad and the many other tablet and touch screen devices that followed, he helped many affected by autism achieve a degree of independence that would simply have been impossible without that technology. He was a one of a kind entrepreneur, inventor and innovator, and we felt it was appropriate that we take a moment to recognize his extraordinary life, and to thank him for the contributions to the autism community. RIP Steve, and thanks.
If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com
Here are two blog posts from the autism community that celebrate Steve Jobs:
Diary of a Mom remembers Steve Jobs through the eyes of an autism mom, in this post.
Squidalicious thanks Steve Jobs on behalf of her son Leo and the rest of her family here. Leo was featured in Apple's iPad: Year One.

The Briton, who was top in both of Friday's sessions, completed 12 laps and was 0.115 seconds quicker than team mate Nico Rosberg as the pair finished one-two for the third practice in a row at the Sakhir desert circuit.
Hamilton, the 2008 champion, can complete another hat-trick in qualifying for the third race of the season after taking pole position in Australia and Malaysia.
While Mercedes were again the class act in the field on a clear and hot afternoon, Red Bull's quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel ended up 21st of 22 drivers on the timesheets after spinning off and into the gravel.
"I spun on the exit of Turn Two and the engine went off immediately," said the German, who walked back into the paddock before the session had ended.
Mexican Sergio Perez was third fastest in a Force India with Valtteri Bottas fourth for Williams, who left it late to get their cars out, ahead of Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa and McLaren's Jenson Button.
The top six drivers were all in Mercedes-powered cars.
The best of the rest was Ferrari's Fernando Alonso who was seventh fastest.
Qualifying will be in far cooler conditions, with Sunday's race switching to a day-to-night format under floodlights for the first time. Track temperatures in final practice were around 35 degrees celsius.
Rosberg leads Hamilton by 18 points after two races, with the Mercedes drivers on one win apiece.

Rebecca Chapter 25 Summary
- Maxim is giving Mrs. de Winter a look, as if he's telling her goodbye.
- Mrs. Danvers has no idea why Rebecca would need a doctor. Rebecca couldn't stand doctors. Plus, she would have told her if something was wrong.
- Colonel Julyan is starting to piece things together. The note to Favell makes a little more sense now: Rebecca must have wanted to tell him about her visit to the doctor.
- They know what they have to do: the colonel and Maxim decide to visit the doctor in person. Favell can join them as long as he's not drunk.
- Mrs. de Winter can tell by Mrs. Danvers' face that she hadn't realized Favell was accusing Maxim of murder.
- The men decide to go to find Baker the next day at 9:00AM, but Favell says he's afraid Maxim will leave town that night.
- Maxim gives Colonel Julyan his word that he won't flee, and arranges for Mrs. Danvers to lock the door from the outside when he and Mrs. de Winter go to bed.
- Favell reaches out to shake hands with Mrs. de Winter, but she refuses. He says he doesn't blame her. It can't be fun for her to have her husband exposed as a murderer; he hopes she marries better next time. Ouch.
- Once everyone leaves, Mrs. de Winter says that she's going to London, too, and Maxim agrees. He wants them to be together for whatever precious time they have left.
- Still, Maxim is sure he won't be arrested right away. He'll get a good lawyer.
- After dinner, Beatrice calls and talks to Mrs. de Winter. She's angry that Rebecca's death was ruled a suicide. She thinks some maniac must have sabotaged Rebecca's boat. She actually has all sorts of suggestions for them. Poor lady doesn't have a clue what's going on.
- Maxim tells Mrs. de Winter to do whatever she can to get Beatrice off the phone. After she hangs up, Mrs. de Winter realizes how lucky it was that Beatrice wasn't at Manderley for all of this.
- The phone rings again, but nobody answers. It's 10:00PM, and Mrs. de Winter sits at Maxim's feet. Maxim hold his wife in his arms and they "kiss […], feverishly, desperately, like guilty lovers who have not kissed before" (25.107).
- Guilty, indeed.

Post subject: Which to try first?
My baby's 7 months old and I still swaddle and feed her to sleep for naps and at bedtime. I don't know which to do first, try putting her down sleepy but awake and swaddled, or wean her from swaddling but still feed her to sleep. Im also not sure how to go about it as I dont want to leave her to cry. She's a very wriggly baby and usually gets an arm out during the night and can't go back to sleep so I don't think eithers going to be easy. I'm also concerned that when I go back to work in a couple of months, my hubby who'll be looking after her during the day, won't be able to get her to sleep.

I think try without feeding to sleep first as she will still have the comfort of the swaddle when going off to sleep.
Having tried controlled crying (it works but is horrid) i can see why you would not want to leave her to cry and nor should you have to, however, i think that as it has gone to 7 months now you will be lucky if the transistion is made wihtout any tears.
MingoMayo was advised on self soothing when she was getting her son to come off feeding so often at night time. She may well be able to help.
I think you rpobs will have to accept some tears though, but its not forever and she will get ther eventually.

Just an FYI!
Just an FYI!
Stalking Uncle Karl...
You may have heard the rumor that Karl Lagerfeld had bought an estate in a tiny Vermont town and planned to shoot Chanel campaigns there. Well, it's true! A local Vermont news team spotted God on the property this week and apparently both renovations and photo shoots have already begun to take place!
Who else thinks a road trip to Vermont is suddenly a million times more appealing?

Teen Vogue is opening a temporary store in a mall in New Jersey where it won't sell anything.
It didn't make much sense to me either but then the New York Times explained.
Considering that Conde Nast just cut 5% off its budget (resulting in Men's Vogue being absorbed into Vogue as a twice yearly supplement and Portfolio losing most of it's web staff and being reduced to ten issues a year) and other teen magazines like CosmoGirl! have folded entirely building this kind of small but fiercely loyal audience is probably a good call on Teen Vogue's part. If I were a 16-year-old Jersey girl I'd be there chomping my bubble gum every day.

A Celebrity Moment: Victoria Beckham for Armani!
Armani announced today that Victoria Beckham will be helping to launch the first Emperio Armani Women's Underwear Collection by starring in the international global advertising campaign. Her husband, David Beckham, infamously posed for the designer for the Emperio Armani Men's Underwear collection. Last spring Victoria wore a lace Armani creation to the famed Costume Institute Gala in New York City where Giorgio was a co-chair to the event.

The Costume Institute Met Exhibit Theme is...
Well, okay, it's actually, "The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion" but as a self-proclaimed model junkie that just translates into one word for me...MODELS!
I love them. I don't know why. It might be the way that they look like aliens, or that I wish I could be that skinny, or at least well-traveled. Whatever the reason is I love them. So the MET hosting an entire exhibit based entirely around them is like a dream!
Anna Wintour has picked the ultimate model Kate Moss to co-chair the May 4th opening night event in addition to Marc Jacobs and....Justin Timberlake. I don't know why she picked Justin Timberlake but I suppose its a less strange combination than last years Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Giorgio Armani. I would have preferred Kate Moss, Gemma Ward, Natalia Vodianova, Karlie Kloss, Iman, and Christy Turlington but I'll take what I can get.
In honor of this awesome news I give you some fantastic pictures of my favorite type of person.

Fashion + Politics = Oil + Water
The internet has been going crazy over this picture of cute-as-button Piper Palin carrying what appears to be a Louis Vuitton bag at a recent rally. We all know that the GOP forked over $150,000 to Sarah Palin for a shopping spree at Neimans and Saks but did it include a $790
monogramed Louis Vuitton? Um. No. It didn't. That bag is as fake as McCain's smiles during the last debate.
Considering that President Bush just signed an anti-counterfeiting bill putting $25 million towards preventing the creation and sale of fakes as well as stiffer consequences for pirates of intellectual property is it appropriate for a high profile candidate to be endorsing carrying a fake?
A lot of people don't see the harm in a knock off bought off the street. And I'm all for recreating a runway look or high end trend in an inexpensive way especially in this economic climate. But there is a difference between being stylish on the cheap and buying a fake, copyright infringed bag off the street.
This bag that she is allowing her 7-year-old daughter to carry was produced by a child, in a filthy usually underground factory for very, very little money. And most of these factories are in US cities because it's easier to produce them here than smuggle the counterfeits into the US.
It is common knowledge that the sale of counterfeit luxury goods supports human trafficking and child prostitution. Some say that it helps to fund terrorism. Regardless, it flaunts child labor laws so extremely they might as well not exist.
It's possible that Sarah Palin isn't aware of any of this. It's possible she believes that it is a real LV bag. If thats the case then there is something unsettling about allowing a 7 year old to carry a $790 bag in front of a struggling America.
For more on this check out Fashionista, Bryan Boy, Gawker and countless other blogs.

Hair Supply by Soap & Glory Review
Soap & Glory has fast become my favorite bath & body line. You might remember my obsession with the Flirtigo spray body moisturizer (I'm on my second bottle!) and I've continued trying out their products since then. I love their packaging, the fact that it was created by Bliss mastermind Marcia Kilgore, and their great prices!
My hair has always been a sore spot for me. It's frizzy, and coarse. Some spots are wavy and others are stick straight. It's also crazy thick. Plus, my blonde obsession (stemming from mommy dearest btw) doesn't help the situation. I'm always looking for hair products that will condition, smooth, and, most importantly, SOFTEN it.
But most products are heavy and weigh it down, or sticky and make it look and feel greasy. Its super frustrating.
So, when I was at Target in Watertown the other day I naturally ambled over to the Soap & Glory aisle. And thank god that I did! I picked up Hair Supply a conditioner/deep mask. I always figure what the heck and I am SO thrilled that I tried it. Hair Supply has a special gel formula but looks and works like a cream to hydrate and de-frizz without adding weight!
First off the actual product smells amazing. A very light almost peach scent thats very clean. Some products are very overwhelming but when my hair was dry it just was very delicate and sweet. It was SUPER hydrating but still very light. I loved how it felt on my hair (I left it on for five minutes as a masque but its definitely good as a daily conditioner too) and then it actually rinsed out really easily without leaving any kind of residue.
Afterwards my hair looked and felt amazing. Amaaaazing!!! It was much softer than usual, and actually looked glossy, not greasy, for the first time ever! I just can't get over how healthy my hair looks! If it's worked this well after just one use...will I have a chance of the Heidi Klum-esque hair I dream of? Okay, probably not, but I think my hair will be the best that MY hair can be and thats pretty damn exciting.
Plus at $9.99 no one can beat the price!
Soap & Glory is available exclusively in the US at Target and Target.Com.

A Celebrity Moment: Victoria Beckham in Christian Louboutin for Rodarte
I'm not usually a huge fan of Posh's sartorial choices (though I do love her) but you know my Rodarte obsession runs deep. Last night, on a date with her hot husband, she wore the Christian Louboutin for Rodarte shoes and paired their bad ass awesomeness with a lacy, girlie mini dress. Its just the sort of thing I always want to wear. Love, love, love.
Thanks to Faded Youth!

The favorite childhood hair style has quickly become a big celebrity hair trend--braids are making a big impact both on the red carpet and the Spring 09 runways! SalonCapri owner Nick Penna was lucky enough to attend the Zac Posen show as a guest of L'Oreal and he's embracing subtle hair details, like tiny braids, for his Boston clients.
My favorite execution of the look are milkmaid braids. Remember a few years ago when Sienna Miller rocked a Heidi-esque pair on the red carpet and was slammed for it? Well, I liked it then and I like it now. Besides, a person with true style picks up on looks long before the rest of the crowd even if they get slaughtered for it!
So what do you think? And how are you planning on wearing your hair this year?

A Celebrity Moment: MK&A in London
Mary-Kate is seriously perfect. I love her coat with the belt and don't even get me started on those to die for shoes! If I was only a foot shorter and about 90 lbs lighter I would find a way to raid her closet!
Both girls looked awesome at the Selfridge's launch of their contemporary line, Elizabeth & James.
I'm also just a tiny bit obsessed with Pixie Geldof's cropped tee and eighties styling.

A Model Moment: Lily Cole in French Playboy
I love the vintage look to the shoot! I guess there has been a lot of backlash towards Lily in her native UK where she's a very mainstream celebrity. A lot of Christian groups in the UK are even calling for a boycott of Marks & Spencer the London retailer that has the 20-year-old Cambridge University student as its spokeswoman. But M&S are standing by Lily and she insists that the pictorial should be considered art. You can decide for yourselves but I'm sure Lily would only be involved in the most tasteful of shoots.

Alexander McQueen SS 09
So you probably already know that poor Abbey Lee fainted as she came off the runway and wasn't able to walk in the finale of the show. Everyone, from her agent to fellow model Ali Stephens, insisted that she fainted because the corset was just too tight but that she was fine once it was off. Abbey's been having a great runway season and has quickly become one of my favorite models but she did have a fall on the Rodarte runway back in NYC. Is it nerves? Corsets? Shoes? Or something else? Just wondering.

Comme des Garcons Spring/Summer 09
I so wish I could have been at the Comme des Garcons Spring/Summer 09 show!
It was so clearly a moment of art and theatre and I'm envious of everyone who was there!
According to Style.Com,
"What is the future of black? That's the philosophical question Rei Kawakubo says she was pondering while designing her Spring collection."
I would like to wear my hair like this every day. I think it would be easier than brushing it straight.

Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
Personal DNA kits seem to be popping up everywhere these days, and National Geographic is no exception. However, the kits available through National Geographic are but an optional "audience participation" aspect of the Genographic Project, the results of which interested readers can explore online for no cost at all! DNA samples collected as part of the Genographic Project are used to trace the migratory history of the human species, using maternal markers from mitochondrial DNA and paternal markers from the Y chromosome. On the project's website, visitors can explore the "atlas of the human journey," which illustrates the migratory patterns established from the project. The "journey highlights" tab provides short blurbs of information on the milestones that early humans encountered during their migrations. Additionally, the rotatable and interactive "globe of human history" is a joy to explore. In total, there is much to learn on the Genographic Project's website…no cheek swab or DNA kit required!

text: Tom Sietsema writes in the Washington Post that his local Arlington location of expansion-happy Euro-chain La Tagliatella makes him wish there were such a thing as "hazard pay for restaurant critics." The Poland-based restaurant specializes in "strangely ham-heavy" Neapolitan pizzas, behemoth plates of pasta, and salads like the house Caesar, which seems to be made with exactly zero of the classic ingredients and comes with a "choice of six dressings, including a honey and pistachio vinaigrette that goes down like melted baklava and tastes even more out of place when Dean Martin is belting out 'Volare' in the background." Verdict? "Someone needs to put a stop to this threat to our nation." The funniest restaurant review you'll read all day is here. [WP]

Sitting out on a sun-dappled hillside, looking out over the fruits, flowers and vegetables growing in abundance at Star Apple Edible Farms, it is easy to imagine living a healthy lifestyle, eating local food, in season. What happens to the sustainable dream when you head back to the City?
According to Stefani Bittner and Leslie Bennett of Star Apple Edible Farms, one can't live in the City with the sustainability bar set at 100%. What can happen as one becomes more attuned to the benefits of the food revolution is that you grow what you can, and make a habit of visiting one of the many local farmers markets in the area. Says Leslie, "the more you know, the better choices you make."
The simple farmers market has become a source of civic pride. Alice Waters is invited to the White House to plan a vegetable garden. Stefani and Leslie see these events as evidence that the people living in suburban and urban areas are quite literally, hungry for connection—with their neighbors, their communities and their food. At Star Apple, the owners are on a mission to demystify healthy growing and healthy eating, one garden at a time.

text: I am very concerned about a nationwide effort to have the Honor and Remember Flag legislated as a new national symbol to recognize our fallen. The founder of Honor/Remember, George Lutz, stated on his website that he attended the Legion's 2011 national conference and that there was overwhelming support for his flag there. It was my understanding that the American Legion does not support the H/R flag legislation (nor the H/R flag). I am concerned about Mr. Lutz' statement. He argues that America needs his flag because our national flag is not recognized as the symbol of sacrifice that those of us who have either served, or lost someone who did, understand it to be. My position is that more needs to be done to develop a better public understanding of what the American flag truly represents. Mr. Lutz thinks that to create a new flag (the sales from which he will financially benefit)is the solution to American apathy about Old Glory. What is the Legion's position on all of this?

How else can you say login and register
A lot of websites now are using "Sign In" .... have a read of "Designing in the moment" By Robert Hoekanman Jr and http://loginisnotaverb.com/
Good point! What is the process they will be following. IOW, start by describing what they do/get from the action.

Does anyone have any ideas of what other terms to use for registering and
logging in?
I have subscribe (as they are subscribing for alerts ) and sign in
instead of login. Any other thoughts?
Don't get me wrong - but why are you looking for other labeling examples?
In general standard functions should have easy and well-known labelings.
Don't use phrases and marketing expressions that make people work too hard to figure out what you're saying. Be as clear, unambiguous and obvious as possible with such important labelings.
Agree completely.
I would only add that non-native English speakers often do not differentiate between "sign in" and "sign up", so using "login" is preferable.
Two pence from a non-native english speaker:
While I understand "sign in" opposed to "sign up", I must always exert some conscious effort in order to differentiate them.
I have no problems with "Log in" opposed to either "Sign up" or, preferably, "Register".
Is also worth mentioning that in Buenos Aires, "log in" made it into "common internet spanglish" as the ill-sounding "loguearse" (as in "yo me logueo, vos te logueás, él se loguea..."). "Sign in" did not and requieres effort to be mapped. "Register" is very close to the spanish "Registrarse" and easily recognized.
Best regards,

It might be better to use Log-in or Log in (like what you see in the header of IXDA.org when signed out) than Login (like what you see at the bottom of this message when signed out).
People with low English profficieny might not be familiar with the concept of compound words and therefore not recognise the word Login. Also make sure to use uppercase L not a lowercase L which may be mistakenly read as an uppercase I. This may also apply to some dyslectic conditions.
As for the use of alternate words, it depends on your audience. If they're clearly novice browsers, who may not have yet picked up on patterns of Log-in placement and procedures, then there may be value in using language which is more descriptive.
"Login" is a de facto standard -- users already perceive it as a "hieroglyph", not an English word -- so using "Log-in" or "Log in" will be definetely confusing to majority of users...
Use standard terminology—Sign In, Sign Out, and Sign Up for button labels. The only way standards can reliably benefit users is if everyone follows them.
Login, as a verb, is grammatically incorrect. All forms of the word log in also strike me as being technical jargon—in fact, that's a distinction Microsoft makes between the usage of log in and sign in. But log in is now in wide usage, so that's no longer as important a consideration.
From the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications: "Use sign in and sign out to refer to creating and ending a user session for an Internet account. You sign in to (not sign into) a Microsoft .NET Passport account, an Internet service provider account, or an XML Web service. Use log on and log off to describe creating and ending a user session for a computer or intranet user account. ... Use sign out to refer to closing a user session on the Internet. Use sign up to refer to enrolling in a service."
The correct spellings are as follows:
- log in, verb, for button labels or links
- login, noun
- log-in, adjective
- sign in, verb, for button labels or links
- sign-in, noun—previously, signin *
- sign-in, adjective
- sign up, verb, for button labels or links
- signup, noun
- sign-up, adjective
* The differences is spelling between login and sign-in represent a recent evolution in usage.
If you're using register for the act of signing up for a service, use the verb sign up in lieu of register.
For standard terminology usage, refer to the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications and the Apple Publications Style Guide. They're both available online, as PDFs. They used to be more consistent with one another. Apple originally set the standards, over 20 years ago; then Microsoft followed suit, largely copying and expanding on Apple's work. Then, for some inexplicable reason, Apple changed some of its standard usages. Thus, their differences.
I'm continually amazed by the number of questions people ask here that are fully covered by existing standards and guidelines. All designers should be completely familiar with standards and guidelines. For a comprehensive list of guidelines with links to them, read "Establishing Design Guidelines" on UXmatters. I also created a list of patterns sites for that article.
Hope this helps.
I've just noted that the usage of terminology on this site is asymmetrical: Log in and Sign out. Log in should be Sign in. Though, preferably, the button labels should use title caps. If you refer to those same style guidelines, you'll see that buttons labels have traditionally been in title caps, not initial cap only as on this site.

Hi Juan,
I didn't think it was possible to upgrade NT4 to 2003. IMHO, I would do a
fresh build and do a catalog recovery. Make sure you take at least two
catalog backups before hand. Build the new environment on another machine.
This way you get to test the build, test NBU install and test the recovery
before actually doing it - and if the hardware is the same or similar/better
spec then you can just swap the boxes when you go live, and keep the old box
for fall back purposes.
I've done lots of NBU install and recoveries, it's actually easy and not at
all scary when you've done it a few times.
FYI, both my media and master servers had an O/S upgrade from Win2000 SP4 to
Win2003 SP1, with NBU v5.1 MP1 in place, and they've been running absolutely
fine for over six months now. I've since upgraded to NBU v6.0MP1 as well
(on the same boxes that were upgraded from Win2000 to Win2003) - and that's
all running fine too.
Good luck,

It was another struggle, but the Cougars pulled off the win over their heated rivals to improve to 14-3 overall and 3-0 in Conference USA. The Owls, who got 16 points and 20 rebounds from Paulius Packevicius, dropped to 3-15, 0-5, turning the ball over a whopping 29 times.
The Cougars were led by Fluff's 18 points, only four of which came in the second half. Kelvin Lewis had 10 points, while Taf and L-Boogie had 9, with Lanny adding six assists. Fluff shot 4-of-16 from the field, but he wasn't the only bricklayer out there since the Cougars shot 22 of 67 from the field (32.8 percent). But once again they nailed their free throws (20 of 25, 80 percent) to seal the deal.
For the Owls, aiding Packevicius were Rodney Foster and Patrick Britton with 14 each, and Lawrence Ghoram with 10.

Washington: The US Senate passed legislation on Friday authorising 1,000 more visas for Afghan civilians who worked with American troops and diplomats - often risking their lives - sending the measure to the White House for President Barack Obama to sign into law.
The bill, passed unanimously, expands the 2009 Special Immigrant Visa programme to 4,000 from 3,000 visas.
The House of Representatives passed the measure, also unanimously, on Wednesday.
The measure is intended to assist Afghans who worked for Americans, mostly as interpreters and guides, during the 13-year-long war.
It also aims at easing the difficult process of getting visas to come to the United States.
Many of the Afghans have had to go into hiding while waiting for visas because the Taliban views them as traitors to their homeland because they worked for the United States.
Afghan Americans have a long history of immigrating to the United States, as they may have arrived as early as the 1920s.
During the 1930s and 1940s, well-educated Afghans entered the US.

IRENA: Renewables cheapest energy option
Renewable energy has become the most cost-effective way to generate electric power for hundreds of millions of people globally who are not on the grid, according to IRENA research. Renewable energy has also become the least-cost option for extending grid supply in areas with suitable resources, such as sun and wind, IRENA contends.
"A renewable revolution is underway. Recent years have seen consistent, sometimes dramatic, falls in the cost of electricity from renewables -- making it the cheapest option off-grid, and even on-grid in places with plentiful resources," said Dolf Gielen, IRENA's innovation director. "The message is clear: renewable energy today is often the cheapest option to meet rising demand for electricity --even without subsidies. It is also healthier, and better for the environment. A renewable energy future is now bankable, and there are further cost reductions to come."
The findings on the declining costs of renewables should be a wake-up call to policymakers, he adds.
The IRENA research also reveals:
- Biomass power generation has become competitive wherever low-cost agricultural or forestry waste is available, with the most competitive projects producing electricity for as little as 0.06/kWh.
- Concentrating solar power has seen costs drop to as little as 0.14/kWh.
- Hydropower, the world's largest source of renewable energy, today often provides the lowest cost electricity of any generation source.
- Solar photovoltaic, which has seen rapid development over the past two years, is set to achieve grid parity with residential electricity tariffs in many locations around the world. PV costs typically range from 0.16 to 0.36/kWh.
- The most competitive onshore wind power sites can deliver electricity costs at as little as 0.04/kWh.

Last week, Donovan wrote about Nasty Pig's new social media winter ad campaign where the clothing retailer is asking customers to tweet images of themselves in Nasty Pig attire and tweet them to #iamNASTYPIG. As part of the campaign, they released a couple sexy videos with some hot men named Matthew Camp and Mark Kane. Now, a new video has come out features the sexy former Big Brother houseguest, Will Wikle.
In the video, Wikle is wearing layers of Nasty Pig clothing and puts on a naughty lil show as he strips down to his long johns… and even then he pulls those down to tease viewers as well. Check out the video below and be sure to watch the first two if you haven't already.
Have any of you Nasty Pigs tweeted in with your own Nasty Pig photos? If so, share the link to the photo in the comments!
The sexy Benjamin Godfre just announced that he's launching a new website, doing away with what he had called Intersanctum before and introducing The Diamond Lounge. To kick off the launch, Godfre posted naked pictures of himself and Big Brother 5 star Will Wikle, photographed by Rolling-Blackouts Photography.
"We are properly starting off the new website with these scorching HOT images by Rolling-Blackouts feat. Will Wikle. Will is famous for being on the 5th season of Big Brother. During the day he's an RN, and at night he's pimping the NYC night scene. He's also an awesome guy and a pleasure to work with. If you're in NYC, make sure to go to one of his events and squeeze his ass. Tell him BG sent you. Enjoy! –bg"
In a short video included below, Godfre makes the announcement about the new site and the naked pictures and also gives fans a nice big wet kiss. Check out the video below, where I've also included a link to the nude photos.
Will Wikle, the sexy former Big Brother houseguest, is going to be hosting what is being dubbed the largest underwear party in the world later this month: DWorld Underwear Party. Event coverage is being done by our friends at The Underwear Expert and a sexy new promo video has been released to promote the event.
The NSFW video below is titled "The Missionary Position" and stars Will Winkle and Jake Andrews. It's all about temptation and sexual desires, as Winkle is alone in his hotel room, wrestling with his fantasies and whether or not to act on them. After a while passes, he caves and heads to a nearby room where Jake Andrews and three other guys (only wearing underwear) are waiting. Things get hot & heavy…real fast in the dimly lit room. I can only imagine what will be going on at this party!
The event is taking place at Rebel Nightclub in New York City on November 21, which happens to be the night before Thanksgiving. I guess you can say some guys may be getting stuffed two nights in a row – wink ;)! DJ Lina, Johnny Dynell and DJ Joe Gauthreaux will be keeping the crowd moving from 11pm – 4am. Check out the sexy NSFW video below and if you're in NYC, you know where to be on November 21!
Although the four returning Big Brother players taking part in Season 14 of the hit CBS show have already been revealed, another former contestant is currently the focus of a recent hot promo video.
This following promo video was to promote Daniel Nardicio's Fire Island Underwear Party and stars sexy and openly gay Will Wikle from Season 5. The hottie was actually the host of the underwear party. In the video, he walks around the city in his underwear and holds a travel bag. His sexy pink Timoteo undies can barely contain his bootilicious bum as people stop and stare while he walks by. The description to the video reads, "Will Wikle, star of 'Big Brother' just cant keep his clothes on when it comes to the weekend, so he decided to just strip down early before going to Daniel Nardicio's Fire Island Underwear Party!'
Check out the video below and be sure to watch the Season Premiere of Big Brother 14 this coming Thursday!
With Big Brother just around the corner, it seems like perfect timing to highlight a couple of the hotties from past seasons and see who you'd want to be head of your household – wink 😉 For this weeks "Who'd You Rather," we've got two openly gay southern hotties that have proven they are not shy when it comes to cameras…and taking their clothes off.
Will Wikle was in Season 5 of Big Brother and was evicted 6th and a member of the jury. After the show, he went on to have his own show on the Logo network called 'Round Trip Ticket' and was also cast as the villain the gay spoof sequel, 'Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!'. Despite his life in the spotlight, he's still a nurse and finds that have a regular job like that helps keep him centred.
Steven Daigle was evicted on Day 16 of Season 10 of Big Brother and was known as the "Gay Cowboy". The geographic consultant & rodeo champion has since went on to venture into gay porn and not surprisingly has become quite popular in this realm.
Both men are are hotties, so I imagine it's going to be a difficult choice. Check out some of their pictures below and vote for who you'd rather!
Hey Big Brother fans. Remember Will Wikle? He was a contestant on the fifth season of the famous summer reality show. The openly gay registered nurse was the sixth person to be voted out of the house and became the first member of the jury. Post BB, Will went on to co-host a show on Logo titled Round Trip Ticket where he would travel to different international locations and find the alternative, non-beaten path of fun in each location.
Following his appearance on that show, he joined other gay and lesbian folks who had appeared on Logo for a reunion show titled Real Gay and also competed on Bravo's sports/reality show, Battle of the Network Reality Stars. But, you may remember spotting a villanis Will playing the role of Jasper in Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild.
Now, it seems that Mr. Wikle has found himself a new night job and no, it's not working the graveyard shift at any hospital in America. In a new article written by Will for Papermag, the reality star goes on to explain his new side hobbie which kind of came on as an accident, but we learn through his article that was something he was always blessed with. Are you super curious? I'll give you one hint and it's his quote: "with the stress of literally holding someone's life in my hands all day, it's comforting to think some people fantasize about holding parts of me in their hands all night."

Product Description
When did you last dream about a mansion in the Caribbean? About a Ferrari outside your front door? Of a yacht in the deep, blue sea? With a little luck and good tactics you can enjoy the finer things in life, unless you have to replace your dream mansion with a run down row house at the end...
66 cards with seven different luxury goods in the values of 100,000 to 700,000 are shuffled and laid out face up in seven rows. Each player has a set of figure card (values of 1-6). Each player in turn puts a card under any row. This continues until each player has played five cards. The value cards in each row are added up for each of the players individually. Whoever has the highest sum gets the bottommost card. Whoever has the next highest gets the next card, and so on. Since the luxury cards are worth wildly varying amounts, you want to try to get specific cards. Whoever doesn't have the right tactics here will get the row boat instead of the yacht.
But things can still change, because in the following rounds you can outwit your opponents. For example, whoever got the 700,000 mansion has to pay attention to keep from getting any other houses. If he gets another house, he puts the dream mansion back and takes the new card, because for each type of luxury good, you can only keep the last one you got. Thus, your opponents will make sure you don't get to enjoy the finer things in life for too long. And if you don't watch out, you'll suffer the consequences: easy come, easy go... Fortunately, there's still a lot of money in the game. That's not so bad, and you can keep every penny you make. After 3 to 5 rounds (depending on the number of players) the game ends. The players add up their money plus the value of their luxury cards. The richest player wins.

Dolce Vita is a game for those who like to think rich. You and your fellow players are trying to get the best collection of some of the basic essentials of living: a mansion, a fancy holiday, a yacht, a watch, some fine jewellery, a thoroughbred racehorse and a holiday for when you have to get away from the daily grind.
There are seven of each of these assets, worth a grand $700,000 down to a paltry $100,000, plus a little cash to be had, at $100,000 or $200,000 a pop. Each of these appears on its own card, with all of these asset cards being laid out in seven columns and nine rows. Now you and your fellow players must try to obtain the best assets.
How you do this is play one of six influence cards (numbered 1 to 6) below one of the seven columns of asset cards. By having the greatest influence in a column you are entitled to the top card of that column. The playing of influence cards goes around the table until everyone has played all but one of their influence cards. You are allowed to put more than one influence card on a column.
Now the columns of assets are distributed to the players, starting with the leftmost column. Each player totals his or her influence in this column. Any players who tie are removed before the asset cards are distributed. (This makes it pointless for two players to go after the one item, because the second player can always equal the first player's influence.) Then the player with the highest influence takes the top card of the column, the next-highest player gets the next card, and so on.
Here's the catch. You can only keep one of each kind of asset. Say you already have a yacht worth $500,000. In one column there is a watch worth $600,000, and below it a yacht worth $100,000. You want the watch, but unfortunately someone else wants it more and beats your influence. They take the watch and you get the miserable $100,000 scow, even though you already had one worth five times as much. Worse still, you have to discard your $500,000 yacht and keep the $100,000 dinghy you just earned! Cash, fortunately, is exempt from this uniqueness rule, so it is always fine to collect cash, even though it may not be worth as much.
This continues for a set number of rounds, and then at the end of the game, you total your assets and cash. The player with the highest total wins.
This is a very simple game to learn - we managed to figure it out from the German rules with no fuss - yet it provides great potential for player interaction. Not only do you need to keep an eye out for the good assets, but you need to know what your opponents want, as often what you want is the third card down in a column. In this case, you have to play the influence card that you hope will be beaten by exactly two other players, unless one of those two players is watching your assets and deliberately undercuts you, forcing you to replace a valuable asset with a less-valuable one. This back-and-forth of bluff and attack makes the game a joy to play (except perhaps when you lose your $700,000 racehorse).
Dolce Vita is beautifully illustrated by long-time artist Doris Matthus, and it feels very much like a game by that 'other' Reiner of the gaming world, Reiner Knizia. Plenty of fun, and lots of opportunity to get into the character of a rich snob sneering at just another $100,000 cash. Now bring me a martini.
I had heard a few snippets about this game from various sources on the net, some favorable, and some less so. Still, when I spotted it on a store shelf while vacationing with my family in Germany, I couldn't resist. The designer is Reiner Stockhausen, a name I am not familiar with. But, being a sucker for just about ANY game, I made the purchase.
The game mechanics are simple enough. There are seven different luxury goods, with cards in each set valued from $100,000 to $700,000. In addition, there are numerous 'cash' cards valued at either $100,000 or $200,000 apiece. These luxury cards are shuffled and set out face-up in a grid of seven rows of nine cards each.
Each player possesses a set of number cards valued from 1 - 6. Players alternate placing one of their `bid' cards face-up underneath one of the seven rows. This continues until all players have only one card remaining in their hand, at which point the round ends.
The player who has the highest cumulative value of bid cards under a row takes the bottom luxury good in that row. The player with the second highest total takes the second luxury good from the bottom in that row. This continues until all players who played bid cards underneath that row have taken a luxury good. If two or more players tie in value, their bid cards are removed and they do not take a luxury good from that row.
This procedure is continued for each of the seven rows. If a player is forced to take a luxury good of which he already has another card in that same luxury category, he must return the previously acquired good in that category and keep the newly acquired one. This can often be to a player's benefit if the newly acquired good is of a higher value, but can also be detrimental if the new good carries a lesser value. The only exception to this rule is that a player can keep as many cash cards as he manages to collect.
After a pre-set number of rounds, the game ends and the player with the greatest value of goods and cash collected is victorious. The rules call for one round per player, or four rounds if playing with 5 or 6 players, but, frankly, that is too many. A player's choices become severely restricted in the later rounds as most luxury goods have been taken and the choices remaining usually aren't very attractive. I have found that three rounds is the optimum.
In spite of a few rantings I have read on the net about not having much control, I disagree. Since all bid cards are placed face-up underneath the rows, one can attempt to place cards in such a fashion to finish in the desired position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) in that row so you can secure the luxury good at that corresponding position. Sure, this takes a bit of studying, but you still have a reasonable amount of control over your own fate.
I have enjoyed this game far more than I thought I would. In each game, there are constant small battles over positioning in the various rows, and frequent attempts are made to saddle opponents with luxury goods they do not desire. Players seem to take perverse glee in forcing opponents to take paltry $100,000 luxury goods and return valuable $700,000 goods from their stockpile. The game offers much in the way of timing, positioning and nastiness and is one which can appeal to both gamers and family. That's a winning combination.

Hash: SHA1
OK, just admit that Outlook's lame--and fix it, already
,----[ Quote
| The product debuted in 1997 and has improved very little since. Given the
| absence of real competition for most of the last decade, you shouldn't be
| surprised at the glacial pace of improvement. We saw the same thing in the
| browser market after Microsoft disposed of Netscape (though perhaps the
| nascent rivalry with Google's Gmail is a harbinger of change.)
Even a former Microsoft evangelist dumped Office last week (for Google Apps).
Thunderbird and other such applications gains steam like Firefox too.
Extensions make them ultra-versatile.
Even the inventor of E-mail moved away from Outlook to open source software.
Outlook gets worse over time, reportedly.
Connected: Microsoft Outlook 2007 is no prize, either
,----[ Quote ]
| Outlook 2007 is one of the weaker applications in Office 2007. At times I get
| so frustrated with its slow response and idiosyncrasies that I'm tempted to
| uninstall it and go back to Outlook 2003. Readers also have frustrations. Â*
Connected: Microsoft Office 2003 better than Office 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| A review of Office 2007 could be considered doomed from the start. Its
| predecessor, Office 2003, is one of the best products Microsoft ever created;
| so the bar is raised high. After a year of using the newer product, I still
| see some features that are better than the older version; but on the whole,
| I'd rather be using Office 2003.
Giving Microsoft The Bird
,----[ Quote ]
| I used to be the biggest evangelist of Microsoft. All other software was
| inferior. Â*
| [...]
| I have been a huge Outlook user since the early days of Outlook Express.
| [...]
| The most immediate thing Iâve noticed is speed. It loads immediately, and
| responds immediately. And that is with all of my Outlook data in-tact! After
| I migrated my data I went to town with the extensions. Iâve listed them all
| below, as I found some really cool ones. My favorites are the Lightning/GCal
| add-on and the QuickFolders. Â* Â*
Alternatives To Microsoft Software.
,----[ Quote ]
| It is now becoming more and more common for users to look beyond Microsoft
| for their day to day software. Lets have a look and see just what is out
| there to provide choice, as opposed to just using Microsoft for the sake of
| it. Â*
The future of Lightning... after the Thunderbird announcement
,----[ Quote ]
| We'd like to state publicly that we will continue to work on our two products
| Lightning and Sunbird in the foreseeable future and that we still envision
| great things for Lightning and Thunderbird. We are currently hard at work for
| our next release 0.7 (coming this fall) and are starting the planning work
| for the following releases 0.9 and 1.0. Â* Â*
[Thunderbird] Comunity reports back!
,----[ Quote ]
| This report was compiled from hundreds of comments, ideas and suggestions
| made to various web blogs, wikis and mailing lists, due to the recent Email
| call to action by Mitchell Baker. It aims to provide an overview of the
| information we found important, ordered by feasibility and relevance... Â*
Reviewing Features of Mozilla Thunderbird 2
,----[ Quote ]
| In case it's not obvious, extensions are basically software utility
| add-ons of varying complexity, while themes are user interface styles
| that can somewhat dramatically change the look of the application.
| Mozilla installs a single extension in Thunderbird by default-for
| error reporting-and a single, default user interface theme. I
| find the default Thunderbird theme to be pleasing and in keeping
| with the standard Firefox look and feel.
First look: Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The one e-mail client that seems to still be on the rise is the
| open-source Mozilla Thunderbird, which recently hit Version 2.0.
| While it hasn't changed radically, the new release includes several
| new features, most notably for organizing and finding messages.
| In this review, we'll assess which additions are useful and
| which are fluff.
Mozilla Thunderbird 2 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Though it's likely that I'll move back to Outlook full-time at some
| point (I still use it for calendaring, actually), I have to admit
| that I had intended to use Thunderbird for about a month and then
| move on, but it's proven usable and efficient. Thunderbird is an
| excellent and high-quality email solution, and while I'm guessing
| that many of the people who read this site haven't really given it
| a shot, my advice is to do so, especially if you can't get your
| hands on Outlook 2007. Thunderbird is quite a bit better than
| Windows Mail or Outlook Express, and while many Web-based email
| services have improved with Ajax/Web 2.0-based interfaces, users
| who have to manage a lot of email will be better off with a true
| email application.
Thunderbird 2 Flies Ahead, Racing Web Mail
,----[ Quote ]
| To a certain degree, Mozilla's Thunderbird could be a victim of
| the success of its browser sibling. As next-generation browsers
| like Firefox have become better at supporting highly interactive
| GUIs for browser-based applications, managing e-mail strictly
| through a Web interface has become much less of a chore, and,
| for some people, has even replaced desktop mail clients as thef
| irst choice for dealing with e-mail.

1½ to 2 pounds filet of beef, trimmed and tied
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 French baguettes, 18 to 20 inches long
3 ounces black truffle butter, at room temperature
1 (2-ounce) chunk good Parmesan cheese
Fresh baby arugula
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. (Be sure your oven is very clean!)
Place the beef on a sheet pan and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the butter all over the beef with your hands. Sprinkle the beef evenly with 1½ teaspoons salt and 1½ teaspoons pepper. Roast for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the filet about ¼ inch thick.
Open the baguettes lengthwise but not all the way through. Spread the bottom halves generously with the truffle butter. Top with a layer of sliced beef and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into thin shards and scatter the shards over the sliced beef on each sandwich. Finish with a sprinkling of arugula leaves. Fold the tops of the sandwiches over, cut each baguette diagonally in 3 or 4 sandwiches, and serve right away.

Autism Journal Launches Podcasts for Broad Audiences
The international journal Autism is launching a new podcast series, "Autism Matters." Hosted by University of London psychologist Laura Crane, PhD, the series aims to showcase the latest research published in the journal in accessible language with an emphasis on real world relevance. The intended audience is a broad one–from academics and journalists to individuals with autism and their families.
The first podcast is an interview with Professor Neil Humphrey (Manchester University, UK) on mainstream versus special education for children with autism. To listen click here.
In Their Own Words – A Graduation Surprise
This "In Their Own Words" essay is written by Tonya L. Jones of Detroit, Mich. She is the proud mother of Joshua Jones, who has autism.
My son, Joshua, is six years old and has just really begun to communicate verbally within the last year or so. We went through such a long period of his repeating everything that I when he began to ask questions and tell me what he wanted for breakfast, I was astounded. Although Joshua was diagnosed only 3 1/2 years ago, this journey with autism already seems like an eternity. But, praise God, he is progressing extremely well and seems to surprise us almost daily with new accomplishments.
Joshua has been in an ASD preschool classroom for three years and during this last year, he began to spend more and more time in a regular ed kindergarten class at his school. He has the most amazing teachers and assistants who are more than patient with him, and I couldn't be more thankful for all the time and effort they have invested in my son. As the school year came to a close, I was told that Joshua would be graduating with the kindergarten class and that there would be a ceremony and everything! I was just beside myself! My son would march in and graduate with his peers – WOW! I know it was kindergarten, but it was still an amazing accomplishment and his dad and I could not have been more proud.
On graduation day, my husband and I were sitting in the audience waiting for the ceremony to begin. I looked at the program and to my complete shock, there was my son's name – Joshua was scheduled to lead the audience in "The Pledge of Allegiance!" I could not believe my eyes. I later found out that his teacher did not tell us because she wanted it to be a surprise. Well surprise was an understatement. I was completely stunned!
As the ceremony began, Joshua marched in with his classmates and when it was time for the pledge, he stood up in front of everyone, held the microphone and recited the pledge as we all repeated after him. Oh, what a miraculous moment! Just one short year ago, he could not speak a complete sentence and now he was leading dozens of people in reciting "The Pledge of Allegiance." There are no words to describe the joy that still fills my heart every time I think about it.
I'm sure there will be many more proud moments we share with Joshua. I thank God continually for blessing us with such an amazing child. He is kind, loving and giving, and literally makes me smile every day.
I videotaped that portion of the ceremony and Joshua never gets tired to watching himself. That's okay, though. I never get tired of watching him, either.
"In Their Own Words" is a series within the Autism Speaks blog which shares the voices of people who have autism, as well as their loved ones. If you have a story you wish to share about your personal experience with autism, please send it to email@example.com. Autism Speaks reserves the right to edit contributions for space, style and content. Because of the volume of submissions, not all can be published on the site.
