Adding three-dimensional models to your TCL scripts with Tcl3D
Tcl3D brings the world of 3D effects to TCL scripting. We'll show you how to get started with building your own 3D scripts.
Today's PCs have the processing power to handle 3D images that once required expensive Silicon Graphics workstations. The world of 3D programming is therefore open to almost anyone. The OpenGL developers provide a substantial C API, but thanks to Paul Obermeier's new Tcl3D extension [2], getting started with OpenGL has become even easier. Tcl3D offers access to OpenGL commands in TCL. Brian Paul developed his OpenGL widget Togl shortly after OpenGL was first released. However, Tcl developers had to use C to write any functions they needed for creating or lighting models. Tcl3D removes this need, giving scripts access to the lion's share of the OpenGL API. Tcl3D even supports extensions such as OpenGL 2.0, the Nvidias CG Shader library, or SDL joystick support [4].

Position Statement on the Next Generation Science Standards
The Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association fully supports recent efforts to revitalize K-12 science education with the development of A Framework for K-12 Science Education by the National Research Council and the subsequent development of the Next Generation Science Standards by the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve.
The role and importance of the Earth and Space Sciences has been fully recognized and clarified by the NGSS. There is a need for more students to prepare for careers in these fields. This renewed emphasis on the Earth Sciences as one of the three major sciences will aid in directing more students to consider employment in these fields, where many quality and stable career opportunities currently exist.
The Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association is committed to providing and developing quality professional development opportunities for teachers to successfully and properly implement these standards in their classrooms. Preparation of teachers at all grade levels - elementary through high school - is essential for proper implementation of the NGSS.
Recognizing this, the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association welcomes the opportunity to reinvent the teaching of the Earth and Space Sciences in Michigan schools. We further offer to partner with the Michigan Science Teachers Association, the Michigan Department of Education, and other interested parties in education, science agencies and private industry to develop quality curriculum and teacher training workshops for this effort.

Make a soap recipe with this ingredient
using our
Lye Calculator
Pomace Olive Oil is a wonderful addition to your cold process soap recipes. Olive oil gives a rich feel and helps to create a very hard bar once fully cured. Used in the making of Castile soap (both liquid and bar).
Pomace oil is made by extracting the last bits of oil and fat from the paste left over from pressing the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Note: Note: Pomace Olive Oil versus other grades tends to move more quickly in cold process soap recipes. For intricate designs, such as multi colored swirls, consider working with our Pure Olive Oil.Ingredients:Botanical Name: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Common Name: Olive Oil
*Please note: This is a natural product, the color of this oil can change from batch to batch, and is completely normal.
i normally use the pure olive oil and have never had a problem with it. But I decided to try the olive oil pomace, because of the price difference. I will not make that mistake again. I have about 10 'basic' recipes that I make on a regular basis with no problems. However, when I used the pomace in my regular recipes it turned into a disaster. The rate at which trace was achieved was so fast that you had to hurry and pour, or it literally started to harden in the pot. I had to have my husband help me because i could not actually pour the soap into the molds i was having to take the soap to of the post i giant spoonfpoon
Terah from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Shelly! I'm sorry you had problems working with this product. As noted on the product page Pomace Olive Oil tends to move quickly in cold process soap recipes. If you want more time to work with I would recommend using the Pure Olive Oil. I will email you personally to discuss this further.
Normally I use virgin olive oil in my CP soaps but have used pomice in the past. Honestly I don't notice a big difference in the final product. Pomice olive oil seems to speed up trace a little more but they both create a hard, long lasting bar with a nice rich feel. If I decide to try a new recipe that calls for it I'll use it but otherwise I'll stick to my normal recipe.
I have ordered this olive oil (Pomace) twice. The first time it was a much lighter color and worked great. My second batch is a much darker color. I haven't used it yet, but am hoping it will be fine. I doubt it will be very good when trying to color my soaps blue or lavender. I'm wondering is it normal for batches to vary so much in color?
Reply from Bramble BerryHi Bridget! The color of this olive oil will vary because it's a natural product. The color of the oil will depend on a number of factors, including soil, temperature and moisture when the olives are growing. If you want a blue or lavender soap, you can add Titanium Dioxide. That will make your soap a little lighter so you get a nice blue color. I'll be emailing you personally to talk more!
Very happy with this oil, affordable and cannot tell any difference vs regular OO. Will accelerate trace a bit but not bad.
I don't think that because it's a lesser grade of olive oil that it affects my CP soap. I'm very pleased with it's quality performance in my product.
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

I have WordPress photo blog that I manage using the YAPB plug in and the Grain theme. I've decided to update it a little bit so I installed a new theme called Viewport and a new plug in called PhotoQ. The problem is that I can't convert my older YAPB posts to either normal post or PhotoQ posts so I cannot see the picture in the posts, only the texts.
Is there any way to make my older posts to be compatible with PhotoQ?
I published a new post using the new plug in and it works, but the older posts pictures are gone. This is my photo blog: richardpastenes.com/blog
Any help will be appreciated.

For more than a year, ties between Brussels and Havana were put on ice. Now the Castro regime aims to reignite diplomatic relations with the EU – but not with all members.
Back on the calling list: Castro (right) and Foreign Minister Roque
Cuba has decided to resume contact with the embassies of Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Portugal and Sweden. According to the country's foreign minister, Felipe Perez Roque, Havana wants to once again reach out to Brussels.
But the EU list is far from complete. Fidel Castro's government only plans on reviving ties to those EU members who no longer invite dissidents to official embassy affairs in the Caribbean island's capital. Among those not included are the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The partial warming up of European relations comes after the EU council on foreign affairs recommended in December that the bloc end diplomatic sanctions. Earlier in the week, Roque acknowledged that the change in EU policy had led to Havana's decision. Already a month ago Cuba reestablished contact to Spain, Belgium and Hungary.
End of diplomatic sanctions
Havana's Malecon boulevard
Since June, however, 14 of the dissidents have been released and Brussels has been reconsidering its position.
"Both sides have moved back closer to each other because they are both interested in resuming a normalization of relations," said Bert Hoffmann from the Institute for Ibero-American Studies in Germany.
"The Cubans have made a significant step towards resuming ties by releasing a portion of the dissidents," he said and added that the Europeans had done their part by refusing to invite dissidents to receptions in their embassies.
It's also likely that this "low profile diplomacy" will lead to an agreement about releasing all of the dissidents in the near future, Hoffman said.
EU divides over Cuba
Castro has ruled Cuba for 51 years
"The EU needs to be careful that the issue of Cuba does not divide the bloc," Hoffman said. "Due to their (communist) past, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia understandably have a different relationship to Cuba as compared to Spain, for example."
Havana recognizes this and as a result tries to conduct as much business bilaterally as possible and avoids dealing with the EU as a whole.Hoffmann predicted that it will not come to a big rift in the EU over Cuba – unlike two years ago with the war in Iraq. But he is nonetheless doubtful that the EU will be able to speak with one voice regarding Cuba. Interests in the 25-member bloc are still too diverse, he said. While people in Madrid think first of the economy in Cuba, those in Prague are primarily considered with human rights issues.
Diplomatic tensions between the EU and Cuba were exacerbated over the weekend by remarks made by Fidel Castro in his speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the revolution which brought him to power. (July 28, 2003)

Evening all, I trust everyone has been on their best behaviour while I have been at work?
I know that this has not got a whole lot to do with the current topic ( or maybe it has? ) but I have been delighted as anyone that Harry has taken over the reins at WHL - along with our result yesterday!!
Anyway, back to EY's thread.
One of the conditions of HR accepting the managers job was that there would be absolutely no interference from Levy on the footballing side of things. I hope that Levy will be true to his word.
The demise of Comolli/JR & Poyet was so sudden and unexpected. I'm pleased that Comolli has gone, I have mixed feelings about JR's departure & feel that Poyet should have stayed especially since he turned down the opportunity to manage the Geordies to stay at WHL.
We were on a downward spiral into oblivion. So I guess something drastic had to be done before the game against Bolton on Sunday.

Posted on 03/30/2010 10:14:05 AM PDT by Need4Truth
NEW YORK (AP) -- Nissan Motor Co. said Tuesday its new electric car will cost just over $25,000 in the U.S., a move that could force rivals to lower prices on similar vehicles.
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
I heard they did not invent anything new, just licensing the technology from Toyota.
Just buy a Toyota. Why have two of their countries companies make money.
I'll just buy a VW Jetta. I can buy a lot of gas with the $8000 difference in price.
It won't "cost" $25,000. It will cost far more than that. It's just that part of the cost will be picked up by the Feds.
And the Jetta would survive a MN winter.
With Obama telling us household electricity is going to be more and more scarce and costly, why the hell is the FedGuv promoting eletric cars with big rebates? Has everyonbe gone nut, including me?
As taxpayers, my children are proud to subsidize loony left symbols such as the Prius and now this electric car. How is this vehicle different from a golf cart, other than having worse performance?
If we can be forced to buy Obama's Healtcare; then we can be forced to buy whatever car he tells us to.
Where is the tax credit on Guns for self-defense?
They should rename it the Nissan Ugly
Plus you can haul a lot more in it...the trunk is enormous.
>>Er, does it have an air conditioner?
Air Conditioning included for free with the Longboard version...
The front clip looks like the head of some sort of fish. Just sayin', makes me want to buy bait.
Otherwise, I really did the shade of black on the tires.
compared to a hybrid I'd say you were right.
Fixed it!
The Nissan Pile. Up to you to say pile of what.
The Nissan Rhea. Short for diarrhea.
And finally my favorite: The Nissan JarJar. Look at the first picture. Tell me it doesn't look like a smiling JarJar Binks, the worst character/race EVER made beating out the Ewoks by far. Least the Ewoks didn't talk.
I see this car and hear "Meesa go 100 miles!" and I want to destroy it.
Looks like it hit every pothole going up the ugly road....
More clown cars coming to the USA.
wow. you know, when "Cash for Clunkers" ended, I was all broken up that I couldn't help by a stranger another car, and then this comes along! hallelujah, I feel good inside !
at least guns are a right mentioned in the constitution.
I'm sick of paying for every freaking "necessity" under the sun for everyone else. dammit.
geez. i was pi$$ed when I heard i had to pay $7500 of each one, but it's fugly too? /facepalm
If this Leaf is targeted at urban and suburbanites, where would a city-dweller plug their car in? I don't see any outlets by the street curbs and most parking lots don't have them either.
"More clown cars coming to the USA."
all of them except the fast fun ones that europe gets (that all get almost double the mileage ours get)
I welcome your correction!
Where's the money for this 25% subsidy coming from? Is Obumble going to borrow it from the Chinese?
Time to be the answer guy, since I've worked with these things before.
1) Yes, it has an air conditioner. Running it heavily should drop range 10-15%. There are many things that can affect range, both positively and negatively, including speed, aggressiveness, temperature, and terrain.
2) No, they did not license the tech from Toyota. Toyota is actually behind in terms of pure electric vehicles. They dominate in terms of parallel hybrids, and often license that tech to other makers of parallel hybrids.
Yes, since credits are involved, this is subsidized. The federal tax credit is $7,500.
4) No, winter will not be a problem, although it will cause a small drop in range (and that drop will be increased from running the heater). Most automotive-grade li-ions are rated for operation down to -30C or so and storage to -50C or so.
5) The battery is rated for a 6-10 year lifespan. Some regulations in California may force them to warranty it for 10 years, although it's too soon to say.
6) Nissan is being vague about pack replacement costs, but their statements point to around $10,000 at current prices. 6 to 10 years later, this should be much lower, but the exact amount is hard to say.
7) No, automotive-style li-ions are nontoxic. In many places, they can literally be thrown in with municipal trash. Note that this doesn't apply to conventional cobalt-based li-ions, which do have minor toxicity issues and are very flammable.
8) No, electricity supply is not an issue, as they primarily charge at night when the US has surplus capacity. Obama's regulations on power generation will hurt daytime consumers of electricity the most.
9) No, it does not have worse performance than a golf cart. Lithium-ion electric cars are surprisingly sprinty; I've had the pleasure of riding in a Tesla Roadster before, and it's quite enjoyable. The Leaf is reported to accelerate as fast as an Infinity G35, which is quite fast indeed for a car in this price range (~6 seconds). Top speed is much more modest, at 87mph. And yes, there is a big ($7,500) subsidy, and that money comes from all of our pockets.
10) God only knows.
12) The Leaf fits in the "Midsize sedan" category.
Just wait until the new owners get their first electric bill! LOL (oh and the coming brown outs)

Creamy Vegetable Cumin Soup
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 25 mins
This soup is based on a traditional Middle Eastern soup. It's unbelievably healthy and easy to make with only a few ingredients. The finished soup has a wonderful creamy texture, considering there is no cream or cheese in it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs baby carrots, rinsed
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth (6 cups water & 2 chicken bouillon cubes can be substituted)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- Heat the olive oil in large pot then saute the garlic, carrots, potatoes, and onion for 5 minutes, to heighten flavors. Add broth (or water plus bouillon), cover & cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender, around 20 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender & puree until smooth. You may need to do half at a time.
- Add cumin, salt, & pepper then adjust seasonings to taste. If soup is too thick, additional water may be added.
Most Helpful
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this soup! When making this soup, I saute'd the carrots, potatoes, and onions for 7 minutes, and only added the garlic (1 teaspoon of jarred minced garlic), the last minute of saute'ing/cooking time. For the broth/liquid, I used 4 cups of organic broth (as that's all the broth I had), plus I added 2 cups of water, and I also added 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon granules. I brought the broth to a boil, then reduced the heat to a simmer, and cooked the vegetables for 30 minutes. I did add 1 teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper. I loved the consistency of this soup, it was like a bisque. I found this soup yields: 10 cups. This was the 2nd time I made this soup, and I look forward to making it again. Thank you Nasseh for sharing this recipe, as this soup was quite delish!!
This is pretty good... DH didn't really like it... he said it tasted too much like vegetables!! but the kids loved it. i have two toddlers and they ate it all up. I really enjoyed it. I served it with pita croutons.
4 1/2 stars. This was good especially for DD (toddler). DH didn't eat much of it so Id say he didnt like it exceptionally. I used regular size organic carrots and yellow potatoes. I used my own homemade chicken stock and I think I added even more ground cumin to taste. It was very orange, more than French Tarts picture. I garnished it with fresh cilantro which was good. I may make this again just for a change but probably not since DH wasnt enthusiastic about it. Made for Ramadan Tag.

I was trying to get your plugin to work with featured images from a NextGEN gallery... You have to use "get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, "post-thumbnail");" but it still wasn't working for me... Then I found the following info:
"If the required add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); in the current theme's functions.php file is attached to a hook, it must be must be called before the init hook is fired. The init hook may be too late for some features. If attached to a hook, it must be after_setup_theme."

The Red Sox were looking to sweep the Washington Nationals when John Smoltz took the hill for the first time as a member of the Red Sox. He replaces Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is now on the DL after struggling to a 1-5 record. Smoltz had a rough outing himself in his debut, allowing five runs on seven hits in five innings to take the loss in a 9-3 final.
Jordan Zimmerman, a promising young righty for the Nationals, dominanted the strong Sox lineup, allowing just one run on five hits and one walk in seven innings. He added six strikeouts to improve to 3-3 on the year. The Sox scored their lone run off Zimmerman with a David Ortiz sacrifice fly in the sixth inning.
J.D. Drew, RF: Drew was the only player with two hits, finishing 2-4. He also scored the only run for the Sox off Zimmerman on an Ortiz sac fly.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B: Pedroia finished 0-4 with two K's, dropping his average to .289 for the year.
"Most of the time when the linescore is the way it is, I'm going to be very disappointed, but I really can't at this point," Smoltz said. "I lost a little rhythm there in the first inning … but very encouraged with how good I can be and the way I felt and the stamina and everything going forward."
W: Jordan Zimmerman (3-3)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (or rather last June in Somerset), much fun was had. It was actually a hen do, and all in honour of Jeni aka Yesterday Girl, who got married in Vegas last July. A fabulous time was had by all (and documented on Instagram) but then the photos got lost on a hard drive and so no blog post was written. But then, a couple of months ago, they got found... hooray!
So anyway, last June, my girl gang and I drove in convoy to Frome (yes it's pronounced Froom, rather than to rhyme with home but oh well), with me in my little yellow Panda and Bethan in her red Ka. We stayed in a lovely holiday cottage called Stonehenge (s/o to all you Spinal Tap fans) that we found through Snaptrip, which had a pool and games room next door. And we celebrated Jeni's forthcoming marriage with almost none of your standard hen party accessories. Except willy straws. Oh, and willy cutlery.
I will simply post this as a visual diary of our excursions. There's Wookey Hole, which was quite literal cheesy fun in caves (clogs not recommended), the vintage amusement arcade and mirror maze plus the dinosaur trail outside. We also did a trip into Frome to poke about the vintage shops. While other people's holiday photos can be dull, I assure you all there are lots of good vintage outfits and hair to be seen here! Part 2 coming soon and by the way, all these photos are from Jeni's amazing camera, which explains why they are much better than my knackered old Canon can manage.

Feelin' Vinyl
Yesterday was really quite special. Not only did I get to hang out with one of my oldest and dearest friends Naomi Thompson, but I got to dress up and have my photo taken in a fabulous 1970s dress with hair and makeup, too. Exhibit A:
As a newly converted 1970s aficionado, it was a bit of a dream. The shoot was in honour of the new HBO series Vinyl being released for digital download, today. Firstly, and most importantly, here's what Vinyl is all about:
The aim of the day was for the dream team of Naomi and Natasha from Pretty Me Vintage to transform a select few journalists and bloggers into (imaginary) characters from the series. Think glitzy, moneyed 1970s New York music industry clothing, rather than boho, wild-child hippies or English Laura Ashley frocks.
It's fair to say, they got it spot on!
VINYL is a ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business of 1970s New York at the dawn of punk, disco and hip-hop. Richie Finestra, the founder and president of American Century Records, is trying to save his company and soul without destroying everyone in his path. With his passion for music and discovering talent gone by the wayside, and American Century on the precipice of being sold, he has a life-altering event that reignites his love of music, but severely damages his personal life.It has been created by none other than Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, author Rich Cohen and multi-gonged producer Terence Winter who is known for "The Wolf of Wall Street; HBO's "The Sopranos" and "Boardwalk Empire", so if that's not a recipe for an amazing series right there, I don't know what is!

Welcome Home (The King's Sanatorium)
It's time for another delve into English Edwardian history for The King's Ginger. This time, we're going back to a darker time, when tuberculosis was a scourge. Men, women, children, rich or poor - no one was safe, and a cure was not yet known. But the luckier (and not necessarily wealthier) victims of consumption did have more of a chance, thanks to a state-of-the-art sanatorium that bore the King's name...
Back in my teens, all I really knew about TB was that the leading lady in La Boheme had it and I got a very painful BCG inoculation against it. But in the early 1800s, TB was the cause of an astonishing twenty-five percent of all deaths in England. By the turn of the 20th century, rates of death from consumption were still high, with a vaccination more than twenty years away and a cure, almost fifty. It was only a couple of decades previously, that the medical profession discovered that TB was infectious. It was certainly had no respect for money or class status. But it's fair to say there was a huge difference in the treatment of poor TB victims and the wealthy ones. Both were isolated from society, but the poor went into sanatoriums that were essentially prisons or workhouses and the more well-heeled benefited from plush hospitals, relaxation, fresh air and sunlight.

Snapshots of Berlin
After an insanely busy six weeks, last Monday I ran away to Berlin for a couple of days. One of the nice things about being a freelance copywriter and social media type, is that with a bit of preparation, I can theoretically do my job from anywhere in the world. So, off I flew!
My lovely man had gone to Hamburg the previous weekend to watch St Pauli play (I had to work, which was a convenient excuse to get out of watching football) and came to meet me in Berlin on Monday night. We stayed in the awesome Michelberger Hotel, a place that's 50% boutique hotel and 50% budget hotel, and 100% hipster, but in a cool way. The way East London was about five years ago, before it became too knowing about its own hipsterness! It's in Friedrichshain, in what was previously East Berlin, which was then the poorest part and is now arguably the most fun and creative part. We especially loved neighbouring Kreutzberg with its independent shops, bars, restaurants and venues.
What I present here are some snapshots of my trip, more for personal record than anything else. That disclaimer comes because I have a brand-new camera (a Canon 70D) which I haven't quite got to grips with yet, so these photos are really just holiday snaps and not beautifully-composed blog photos. And because sometimes it's better to capture moments with an iPhone than it is to grapple with a DSLR beast!

Having a Grape Old Time!
It's about time I took a foray back into the more distant past for a fresh King's Ginger adventure. Luckily enough, I have had one up my sleeve for a few months, ready to unleash on my loyal readers at the most opportune moment! This particular story revolves around sparkling wine (and horses), and what better time to enjoy such things than in the lead up to Valentine's Day? Well, sparkling wine, not horses. Though what you do with your own time is no business of mine.
Onto the tale!

From Hobby to Career – Becoming a Vintage Seller
In the second of my two posts for Shurgard's blog, I am asking: so, you think you have a good eye for vintage clothing and accessories? Perhaps, after many years devoted to your own collection – honing your eye for a bargain – you realise you prefer hunting down vintage and antiques more than your actual job. Well... why not try and make a living out of your hobby? Seriously! You'll have to get used to early mornings, become a photographer, get to grips with social media marketing and, most importantly of all, genuinely have a passion for what you're doing. But the rewards are so worth it!
Keep your eyes peeled
The casual collector scours eBay and Etsy and probably frequents vintage sales, charity shops and carboots. But the serious stock sourcer needs to think bigger. You can find big lots on eBay if you look, but it's being first through the door at sales of all kinds that reaps the rewards. Pro sellers are the ones lining up at opening time, sweeping through and leaving before the hobbyists have even got out of bed! You can even try going to proper vintage clothing auction houses like Kerry Taylor to battle it out with other dealers, hitting foreign flea markets or making friends with local house clearance companies.
Promoting your collection
When you've acquired some stock, what then? Sure, you can book spots at fairs, boot sales and so forth, but if you don't have transport, it can be difficult. Selling online is the answer, but it's an art all in itself. Taking decent photos is key. A decent camera (or cameraphone), a plain backdrop (or bedsheet!) and a cheap mini tripod are good to have. It's definitely fair to say that the better your photos are, the more you are likely to sell, and potentially command higher prices.

Starting a Vintage Collection: Beginner's Basics
Collecting anything, but especially vintage clothing or accessories, can vary from being a casual hobby to an all-consuming compulsion. As a collector of everything from Beanie Babies (as a kid) to vintage housedresses (ongoing), I have experience at both ends of the spectrum! I was asked by Shurgard Self-Storage to write a piece about said experience for their blog and was only too glad to oblige. I can waffle on a bit as any regular readers know, and I kept it more concise there. So here, in full are some tips to kickstart your collecting career.
Starting out
Firstly, and most importantly, decide what you want to collect! You do need to pick something that genuinely interests you, or you'll lose the passion for hunting it down. Go for vintage clothing that you want to wear yourself or restore and preserve; things you will use and enjoy, like mid-century costume jewellery, bakelite bangles, art deco china tea services or CC41 furniture. I collect clothing and deco china but Naomi Thompson, who wrote the book Style Me Vintage Accessories with fellow collector extraordinaire Liz Tregenza, says that vintage jewellery is the 'lazy' collector's choice!
'I grew tired of mending, washing, storing and protecting delicate vintage clothing. That pool is getting smaller. Now, jewellery is democratic. It doesn't matter what size, shape or age you are, everyone can enjoy jewellery.'

The Seven Years of Blogging Christmas
When you've been blogging as long as me (8 years next year), you've accumulated a lot of photos of Christmases past. In the interests of nostalgia and laziness, I thought I'd take you back in time to my many and varied (and not-so-varied) vintage Christmas outfits of the past! In a vaguely chronological order...
Back in 2008, I loved swing dancing. I wore this two-piece candy-cane striped set to a Christmas swing dance, complete with holly in my hair! Can't remember the brand, but I do know it is long gone.
The following year, I wore a repro velvet dress from Able Grable, another defunct repro brand.
This vintage inspired coat came from the high street... Oasis I think. A staple of winter for years & years!

A Horrible Halloween
There haven't been many years since around 2008 where I haven't thrown a Halloween party, either with my friend Ruby who owns Fontaine's Bar in Dalston, or the Vintage Mafia. This year combined both into the Mortuary of Madness, a horror hospital-themed party the VM threw at Fontaine's! Apart from Jeni's costume getting lost in the post, forcing her to be a patient rather than a Great War nurse, it was a brilliant night and all our guests made so much effort. Here's a selection of snaps by the ultra talented Hanson Leatherby, to see the full album, head to his Facebook!

The King Across the Ocean
Hello, and welcome to the return of my now-quarterly King's Ginger adventures! Something a little different to kick off, and certainly more far-flung than usual. I found myself in Boston this autumn and took a day to follow in the King's footsteps from around 150 years before. He was treading the path of the American Revolutionaries of almost a century before as well, adding up to an interesting history lesson for those of us who know little about the history of the United States. Join me for the Battle Of Bunker Hill and the King's 1860 Royal Tour of North America!
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place in 1775, and was an early part of the American Revolutionary War – the long and acrimonious divorce of the United States of America from Great Britain. It's not a war we ever get taught about in history lessons over here, though most of us have heard of some of the key events in the leadup – like the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which was not a genteel gathering with hot drinks and neatly cut finger sandwiches but a protest in which men dressed as Native Americans (thus aligning themselves with the country of their residence and not the one of their ancestry) dumped 342 chests of tea in Boston harbour as a statement against the import laws and tax on tea. We probably know about this event because of the shocking waste of tea but I didn't know anything about its root causes, which were the increasing tensions between the two nations (mostly because of taxes imposed by Britain and massively over-regulated trade rules – if you'll pardon the over generalisation), which resulted in outright war breaking out in April 1775, between both old and New England.
Photo from the Bunker Hill Museum
The Americans didn't have an army, but they had a militia – also known as the Minutemen. According to that ever-reliable source, Wikipedia, the British had about 4,000 men stationed in Massachusetts – well-trained and well-equipped redcoats. When the Battle of Bunker Hill kicked off in June 1775, approximately 3,000 British soldiers fought 2,400 colonial troops and, despite the odds being stacked against them, and the eventual outcome being declared a loss for the American side, the British Army lost far more men. The battle's outcome gave the Patriots (as they are referred to over in the States) the confidence to go and take the redcoats on again and they would eventually triumph and win their complete independence from us (obviously!).
That's an extremely potted history of the Battle of Bunker Hill of course, and you may be wondering what it has to do with King Edward? Let me fill you in.
The Prince of Wales by Matthew Brady, New York 1860 (Wikipedia)
Nearly 100 years after the famous Battle, in the autumn of 1860, 18-year-old Prince Albert Edward of England set off for an official tour of North America. The Royal Family had been invited over a few years earlier by Canadian officials (who had fought for Britain in the Crimean War), but Queen Victoria had declined to go on the long transatlantic voyage and all her children were too young to go in her place. According to the New York Time, It was Prince Albert who persuaded her to send Albert Edward not only to Canada but to America too. Thinking about it, given that the war of independence happened less than 100 years earlier, I'm not too surprised at her reluctance to send her eldest son halfway across the world to meet with the revolutionary nation. However, as I have mentioned on here before, Bertie was quite the naughty young man and didn't get on at all well with his mother... even before she blamed him for the death of Prince Albert a year later. So perhaps if anyone was to be reluctantly sent over there, it was him!
He set off on 10th July 1860, bound for Canada, where he dedicated the new Victoria Bridge in Montreal. It wasn't until September 20th that the prince and his entourage reached America, docking at Detroit and then travelling to Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg before arriving in Washington on the 3rd of October. He did all the usual sightseeing – the Capitol Building and George Washington's house, and attended a reception at the White House, of course.
The next bit of the trip was interesting. Here's a quote from the New York Times:
The only controversy of the trip arose over whether or not to visit the South. Sectional tensions were high in that momentous election year, and Southern politicians hoped to gain positive publicity for their cause through a royal visit to model plantations. The colonial secretary accepted an invitation to Richmond, Virginia, where Edward attended church and toured the state capital. The prince, though, refused to visit a plantation and insisted on being driven back promptly to Washington. From there, the royal party traveled by rail to Baltimore and Philadelphia, and then sailed for New York City.
It offers no reason for the prince's refusal but since his father, Prince Albert was a noted abolitionist, it's fair to assume that he was also strongly anti-slavery. Yet another reason to appreciate his Majesty for being a thoroughly decent bloke!
In New York, there were various adventures including parades, a lavish ball for 3,000 people, which was gatecrashed by a further 2,000, causing part of the temporary dance floor to collapse (luckily not with the prince on it) and other adventures. But since this story is meant to be about Boston and Bunker Hill, we will have to move onto this part of the trip before it becomes a novel!
Revere House, Boston (Wikipedia)
On the 17th October, the party set off for Boston on a specially upgraded train. It's described in 'The New England tour of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales' published the same year, as the 'handsomest travelling car to ever run on rails', with velvet sofas and carpet, a solid silver 'ornamental waiter', gold goblets and even an elegant office, complete with writing desk. Arriving to Boston at 4pm, the Prince and his entourage then passed through various streets in the city, cheered on by thousands of cheering men and women.
The royal party stayed in Revere House, a fancy hotel which sadly burned down in 1912. Rooms were upgraded for the Prince's stay, of course. It was reported while staying there that, 'The Prince is a hearty eater but drinks very moderately' – the 18-year-old had much to learn, it seems.
Ralph Farnham, courtesy of the Massachusetts Historical Society
The next morning, the 18th October, the Prince met with the last remaining veteran of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Ralph Farnham. Described as a 'reluctant celebrity', Mr Farnham was 104 when he was invited to Boston for a celebration of his life. He was also put up at Revere House, where he had a fifteen minute reception with Bertie. He wanted to pay his respects and prove that the animosity of the past was forgotten, though he was quoted as joking, "I hear so much in praise of the Prince of Wales that I fear the people will all turn Royalists."
Crowd on Boston Common (YouTube)
A busy day continued with a visit to the Capitol and Boston Common (where a crowd waited for the Prince), a concert and finally, a Ball. While this contemporary report doesn't describe the Prince's attire for the evening, it does describe many of the ladies' outfits in a lot of excessive detail! The first outfit described the wife of Governer Banks who was 'attired in a rich heavy purple silk figured in gold which produced quite a brilliant effect. The dress was worn with short sleeves trimmed with point lace and partially covered with a point lace bertha with gold trimmings. Diamond earrings and a headdress of white feathers with a heavy purple velvet ribbon at the back added much to the effect of her toilet.' Sounds lovely. You can read about all the ladies' outfits, should you want to know them in incredible detail here.
The Ball had to have a special police presence and the decoration costs outstripped the receipts from selling tickets. But since the Prince reportedly danced until 4am, it seems it was worth it!
The following day, the Prince visited the college, and Mt. Auburn Cemetery (which I tried to see myself but couldn't get there) before heading to the Bunker Hill Monument, just as I did.
The huge granite obelisk was erected between 1827 and 1843, the gap of 16 years being down to constantly running out of funds. It was only completed after Mrs Sarah Josepha Hale, the editor of a women's magazine, had a 'Ladies Fair' in 1840 and raised a whopping $30,000 from Boston's well-to-do women. The Bunker Hill Lodge at the foot of the obelisk was built later in the 19th century, and I'm not sure if it was there when the Prince visited, but the statue of General Joseph Warren (who perished in the battle) it now houses definitely was.
While I got a lift there with the friend I stayed in Boston with, the Prince was 'conveyed hence at a speed highly complimentary to the skill of the reinsman and the muscle of the steeds.' And I was disappointed to learn that he only 'passed round the base of the Monument admiring its lofty proportions and visited the statue of Warren', and didn't, in fact, climb the 294 steps to the top (which felt like a lot more) and pause to admire the view.
...Not that the landscape would have look like that at the time! Still, here's the proof that I climbed the monument and survived the jelly legs that ensued. And also that I visited Dr Warren!
Returning momentarily to the Battle itself, which I learned about in the adjacent Bunker Hill Museum, it really wasn't immediately clear that the British won (I had to Google it it). This was down to the fact that was really only a 'Pyrrhic victory' - one that came at a devastatingly high toll. We lost so many men that we may as well have lost... as we eventually went on to do. Nonetheless, it gave rise to the famous quote, 'Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes'.
After Bunker Hill, the Prince went to visit the Library of Boston before heading to Portland and from there returned back to England, turning 19 somewhere on the Atlantic. The New York Times reported that, 'While nothing specific had been accomplished during the prince's American tour, Edward, Queen Victoria, and the British people were pleased by the warm welcome the United States had extended to the British prince.' This was his first official Tour, and he went on to do more, including visiting Egypt the following year, as well as taking on many more state duties as Queen Victoria retreated further and further from public life after the death of Albert, also the following year.
All these years later, the lucky people of America can get their hands on KGL, although it's definitely harder to find and my host and I had to visit multiple liquor stores of suburban Boston to find a bottle! But it led me to post his question on the KGL Facebook page: how many bottles of King's Ginger can you fit into the Bunker Hill Monument? It's a trick question because, like so much, the bottles are bigger over there!
I hope you have enjoyed the return of this feature and my brief history of the King's visit to Bunker Hill. His Majesty will be back again in time for Christmas!
Back to the present day, if you;d like to try a brand-new cocktail, may I recommend this Movember special? It's all in aid of an excellent cause.

as u can see from the code, it´s in the HEAD and is part of the navigation. it´s the backgroundimage of the "home button". but it´s not shown as an image in the HEADER template. css is used to style this one. so if anyone figures out a way for me to RANDOMIZE this, please tell me :)
thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

Direct Contact Membrane Distillation of Dairy Process Streams
AbstractMembrane distillation (MD) was applied for the concentration of a range of dairy streams, such as whole milk, skim milk and whey. MD of a pure lactose solution was also investigated. Direct contact MD (DCMD) mode experiments were carried out in continuous concentration mode, keeping the warm feed/retentate and cold permeate stream temperatures at 54 °C and 5 °C respectively. Performance in terms of flux and retention was assessed. The flux was found to decrease with an increase of dry-matter concentration in the feed. Retention of dissolved solids was found to be close to 100% and independent of the dry-matter concentration in the feed. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) of the fouled membranes confirms organics being present in the fouling layer.

Authority: Vice Chancellor for Information Technology
History: First issued in 1993; Last updated May 11, 2015
Scope: All NC State students
Description of service
All registered NC State students automatically receive University computing accounts. At a minimum, students receive Unity computing accounts, which provide access to the resources in the campus-wide academic computing realm and many other computing and online resources. Unity computing account privileges include:
- Unity login names (userids) and passwords, which are required to access NC State password-protected online services and resources; e.g., MyPack Portal, course materials, campus wireless network.
- Email services
- File space. See Your File Space.
- Support for personal Web pages on www4.ncsu.edu.
Google Sites at NC State can also be used for personal web sites.
- Use of Unity computing labs and applications
- Free use of many popular commercial, discipline-specific and public-domain software packages
- Technical support: help.ncsu.edu
Students may have access to additional computing resources provided by the colleges and programs in which they are enrolled.
Groups eligible for service
All registered NC State students
Types of use
Academic and personal
Duration of service
The account remains active as long as the student is registered at the university, unless the student violates NC State policies, regulations, and rules governing computing and network services. See also Extended access for new graduates below.
A portion of students' Educational Technology fees goes toward maintaining computing accounts for students.
Rules of use
- Use of all NC State computer and network resources is governed by Administrative Regulations – Computer Use.
- University computing account holders are responsible for reading and abiding by these and all other published Regulations and Rules governing specific computing and network services.
- Failure to abide by these rules and regulations may result in loss of account privileges.
- Use of university computing accounts by anyone other than the account holder is strictly prohibited.
- Account holders are responsible for the activities performed under their account.
- Account holders are responsible for changing their passwords and keeping them secure.
- Additional service procedures and restrictions:
- Account activation, deactivation and deletion
- Unity ID and default password
- Changing a password
- Changing a Unity ID
- Email addresses
- Mail forwarding
- Account access for students during summer break
- Account access for Life-Long Education (LLE) students
- Account access for students in Study Abroad programs
- Account access for Co-op students
- Extended access for new graduates
Account activation, deactivation and deletion
- Unity student computing accounts are automatically created before New Student Orientation.
- They are fully activated before the beginning of the semester.
- An account is deactivated on census day (the last day of drop-add) of the first semester that a student is not registered, unless the student is a new graduate. See Extended access for newly graduated students below.
- No one will be able to log in to the deactivated account with that Unity ID or have access to files stored under it.
- Accounts are deleted one year after account deactivation.
- For example, if a student is not registered by census day of a spring semester then his or her account will be deactivated. If that student is also not registered by the following fall semester's census day, then the account will be deleted. Summer is not considered a separate semester for this purpose.
Unity ID and default password
- The Unity ID (also called Unity userid, login ID) is generated automatically from the user's last name and first and middle initials.
- The default password assigned to a University computing account is automatically generated from the last four digits of the user's Campus ID number plus the month and day (mmdd) of the user's birthday. For example, if the Campus ID is 000001234 and the birthday is July 28, the default password assigned would be 12340728.
- The default password is not secure.
Changing a password
- For security reasons, account holders are required to change their default passwords as soon as they receive them.
- Passwords should be changed at least annually, using the Unity Password Change Tool.
Changing a Unity ID
A Unity ID remains the same throughout the user's affiliation with the university. Because many systems on campus depend upon Unity IDs, OIT will not change a user's Unity ID, even if the user's university records reflect an official name change due to marriage, divorce or some other reason. If extreme circumstances require a Unity ID change, a student must seek approval from one of the following entities:
- Registration and Records (Registrar or Associate Registrar)
- GLBT Center (Director)
- Women's Center (Director)
- Dean's Office of the student's affiliated major.
The approver must send any request for a Unity ID change to firstname.lastname@example.com on the student's behalf. The request must include all of the following information:
- current Unity ID
- proposed new Unity ID
- all components of the employee's name (e.g., prefix, first name, middle name, last name, suffix)
- general explanation of the extreme circumstances for the change.
Due to the many systems on campus that depend on Unity IDs to provide users access to systems and services, it is strongly recommended that students with approved rename requests wait until the end of a semester to make the change. If a student's Unity ID changes, but a system or service is not updated to reflect that change, the student might not be able to access for an indefinite period of time a system or service she or he uses heavily. For example, Moodle will not be accessible until day two of the account rename.
Email addresses
- Google Apps @ NC State is the official email provider for NC State.
- Email addresses take the form of email@example.com.
- Email addresses for students are published in the campus directory unless Registration and Records receives notice of a request for a Privacy Block.
- Students can make these changes online through the MyPack Portal.
Mail forwarding
Students who wish to forward their university email account mail should use Google's procedure to automatically forward emails to another account.
Account access for students during summer break
- NC State graduate and undergraduate students who were registered for the spring semester and pre-register for fall but do not take summer classes will continue to have computing account access throughout the summer.
- Such students can continue to do all of the following during the summer:
- use the workstations in Unity labs,
- check email
- remotely access campus servers
- transfer files to and from their Unity file space via the university's server, ftp.ncsu.edu
- access their Web pages on the www4.ncsu.edu server via the Internet.
- There are no extra fees for this access.
- Students who are not pre-registered for the fall semester will lose their Unity account access.
Account access for Life-Long Education (LLE) students
- Students enrolled through the LLE program, including Post-Baccalaureate Studies (PBS) and Undergraduate Studies (UGS), automatically receive Unity computing accounts.
- An LLE student account is generated when the student is enrolled with Registration and Records.
- Account access for LLE students may be delayed several weeks.
Account access for students in Study Abroad programs
- Students enrolled in an NC State Study Abroad program that includes being registered in an NC State course (e.g., ISE 900 or ISE 910) and paying tuition and fees will continue to have full access to their Unity computing accounts.
- Students enrolled in study abroad programs that they have arranged on their own typically do not have Unity account access because they are not enrolled at NC State and are not paying NC State tuition or fees.
Account access for Co-op students
Co-op students who are registered as NC State students through the Co-op office will maintain normal access to their Unity computing accounts
Extended access for new graduates
- Google Apps
Access to the full Google Apps suite of services will remain active
for as long as the university offers this service and the student continues to use the account.
- Other IT Services
- Access to campus-based file space and other services will remain active for four months after graduation.
- This access is offered as a courtesy to help the many graduates who use Web resumes in their job search and career planning strategies.
- New graduates will be able to access:
- email and file space remotely.
- Web pages on the www4.ncsu.edu server via the Internet.
- They will not be able to log in to public workstations in campus computing facilities (e.g., Unity labs).
- MyPack Portal
- Graduates are allowed to log in to the MyPack Portal Self-Service page to access their student information.
- This access remains until the account is deleted from the system.
Additional Information
To learn more about Unity computing accounts see IDs & Passwords.

Reaction wasn't very good to the redesign of the Boston Globe's Boston.com site. Acknowledging that with some humor, the site created a video with cute kids reading aloud actual complaints they received.
I saw the "Boston.com Beta Release Complaint Department" video highlighted last week on JimRomenesko.com. It's at least mildly amusing with a few lines sure to prompt a chuckle or two.

I am not sure what mistakes I made...since it seems straight forward!
But when using the iTunes Lookup Widget it only loads as "undefined" Need help!
I am not sure what mistakes I made...since it seems straight forward!
But when using the iTunes Lookup Widget it only loads as "undefined" Need help!
do you have a url i can have a look at ?
alternatively, assuming that you are only using one widget for a start that gives you problems, can you give me the settings that you are using ?
having said that , i am working on an updated that resolves a couple of bugs i found myself (should be done in the next few days). nevertheless, it would be great to be able to investigate your problem too as it might be something I have not come across
PS: any detailed 'undefined' messages would also help.
I found the iTunes ID using the search feature...
I only have Collections/Albums selected
I left everything else the same, except I changed the country to USA.
Well today it is just blank...but here is the link
thanks for the info. I had a look at the site and I'll get a ton of other js errors.
Having said that , what happens if you - temporarily - turn off W3 Total Cache (just to see if that's the culprit so i can see whats happening)
Nope, didn't change anything...
can you temporarily rename the index.html in the cache folder so i can - for starters - have a look at the cache files generated ?
btw, thanks for actually letting me know it doesnt work in your scenario. i'm sure other people had problems too in their situations but without telling me , what can i do ...do again, thanks
on top of that (just to be sure) would you mind sending me a screenshot of the/your widget settings to dev[at]1000db.com ? thanks
PS: i assume you are using plugin version 0.2.4
actually , i think i have an idea where the problem may be ( and i should be able to do something about this but it might take a couple of days ). may i ask you what theme you are using ?
PS: sorry, stupid question. it appears you are using iFeature. give me a bit i'll sort it out asap - day or two - (as this problem might also occur on other themes.....)
Hi again,
i have updated the plugin to take account of the above... let me know if that fixes it ?
also you are saying "I only have Collections/Albums selected"
just to be clear: if its ticked it will NOT show (as its excluded). so if you have an artist(id) that only has albums for example and you "exclude" albums, nothing will show ....
thought i'd mention it just in case
Ok, you were right I did have that checked. So I unchecked it, and updated it...still nothing. Where do I send the screen shots of the settings?
all very odd --- send it to dev[at]1000db.com
does it work if you - temporarily - use a different theme (like twenty twelve or something bogstandard) ?
it appears that the plugin (0.2.5) actually works as expected. apart from the issue with some themes in v0.2.4 above (which should not be an issue anymore in the current/latest plugin version) the plugin did not return any results (i.e you ended up with an empty box) because the iTunes API just did not return any for your artist(id).
Version 0.2.6 now displays "itunes api did not return results" (or some such thing) to indicate that the plugin is actually working just that Itunes didnt return any movies/albums/podcasts/whatever. Furthermore - in such a case - the console will show what query was actually sent to the iTunes API (which seems to return somewhat different results to the web frontend of iTunes - no, i dunno either).
If someone has the same issue and wants to investigate further, one could use the url in the console, put it in a browser and check if there's maybe another combination of a query that would return the required results (check http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html#lookup for details of the api)
if you find a different query that DOES return results, let me know. After all , its all work in progress....
for the moment marking this as resolved...
in case anyone is having the same 'problem':
itunes does not treat singles as collections/albums with a track count of 1, but lumps it together with individual tracks/songs of albums. hence nothing was returned from the api when searching for albums (even though the iTunes store itself list singles under albums.....ho hum)
anyway, i've updated the plugin to now include the singles as singles (if there are any).
do read the readme though (accessible from within the widget ) as there are some implications to doing this
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Barack Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle that he will bankrupt the coal industry.I'm glad I've held on to my ARLP anyway.Best of luck to all.
Where did you see this? I am no Obama fan, but I also dislike seeing falso rumors spread (if that's what this is.)
The story was started by the McCain campaign before the election. Here is the quote on which the story is based: "if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them"Here what the McCain campaign left out of Sen. Obama's actual words: "But this notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion. Because the fact of the matter is, is that right now we are getting a lot of our energy from coal. And China is building a coal-powered plant once a week. So what we have to do then is figure out how can we use coal without emitting greenhouse gases and carbon. And how can we sequester that carbon and capture it.'
"Where did you see this? I am no Obama fan, but I also dislike seeing falso rumors spread (if that's what this is.) "http://www.ask.com/web?l=dis&o=16047&qsrc=2873&q=Barack+Obama+stated+that+he+will+bankrupt+the+coal+industry.
BO does not run the country - corporations and their lobbyist do.
That's a relief
so do the zionist (aipac).
