I had the Donate Plus plugin working fine on our test server, but when I moved it to the live version on Go Daddy... I am now unable to get the IPN Notifications to work properly.... It seems the instant Payment Notifcation URL is listed incorrectly now, and I cannot figure out how to change it. I've reinstalled the plugin multiple times to no avail.
The Instant Payment Notification URL on the Donate Plus plugin settings says: D:\Hosting\8980967\html\wp-content\plugins\donate-plus/paypal.php
That is not a valid IPN to be using... it should be my domain name... but I cannot seem to fix it.
Any advice!?!??

I heard you on Science Friday talking about halloween, went home and looked on your website at Snap-O-Lanterns, and was inspired. I added a phototransistor and infrared LEDs to make a motion sensing small pumpkin that can try to bite you.
Thanks for sharing your project, Gabe!
If you built a Snap-O-Lantern or were inspired by any of our Halloween projects, we'd love to see your photos in our flickr group.
Peter wrote in to share his build based on our Tennis for Two video game project.
He has more pictures up in his post.
Just in time for Halloween, we're launching a Snap-O-Lantern kit. You can still build this robotic snapping pumpkin from scratch using our original instructions, or you can do it the easy way with this kit, which uses one of our ATtiny2313 target boards and has all the parts you'll need— except the mini-pumpkin and three AA batteries.
We're putting the full documentation for the kit on our wiki.
Pumpkins are being featured today on a special Halloween edition of Maker Camp, and I'll be there, showing our Snap-O-Lantern project. Tune in at 5 pm (Pacific), today, Thursday, October 10.

SYRACUSE (AP) � Federal grants totaling more than $300,000 are expected to help reduce a backlog in cases at central New York crime lab that was the focus of a dispute between local police and prosecutors.
The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports that the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday awarded the Onondaga County crime lab $314,000 to help clear up cases awaiting forensic analysis. The county�s forensic sciences center in Syracuse handles cases for city and county law enforcement agencies.
Last fall, Syracuse police officials said the lab often ignored police requests to examine evidence. District Attorney William Fitzpatrick denied the claims.
The spat prompted an investigation by the state inspector general. A report released in April said investigators found no evidence to support police complaints that the lab didn�t adequately communicate with law enforcement.

Maine hearing delayed for Mass. rapistMarch 30,2013
PORTLAND, Maine - A hearing has been delayed until next week for a Gorham man facing a fugitive from justice charge after eluding authorities for 34 years after being convicted of three Massachusetts rapes.
Friday's hearing for Gary Irving was continued to Monday, so he will remain in Cumberland County Jail through the weekend.
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/14C1nsN ) says Irving turned up in court Friday wearing a yellow inmate uniform, the color worn by maximum security prisoners.
His lawyer, Christopher Leddy, told Justice Roland Cole that he needed more time to review the documents in Irving's case, so the hearing was rescheduled for 8:30 a.m. Monday.
The 52-year-old Irving used an assumed name while living in Gorham and was arrested Wednesday night. He had disappeared while awaiting sentencing for the rapes.

Building for the future, today – combining the best of historical wisdom and modern technology.
By Comly Wilson
energy efficiency, energy conservation, save energy, green homes, green living, cleanedison, Comly Wilson
A really great way to use less energy is to air dry your clothes and dishes.While using a dryer and the dry setting on your dishwasher can often be convenient, it requires little extra time to hang clothes on the line or open the door of your dishwasher for a couple hours. Replacing a task that uses electricity with one that does not is a no-brainer when trying to save on your energy bill — and air drying is one of the easiest ways to go.
It's also safe for cats!
If you are in the market for a new dryer or dishwasher, always remember to look for ENERGY STAR® models.

Hollioake Fund for Twenty20
The CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund is inviting all junior cricket supporters to take part in their big fund raising competition - to decorate a T-shirt in the theme of Twenty20 cricket while raising money to create a centre supporting life limited children.
The winning entry will get a fabulous family day out at the Twenty20 finals day at the Brit Oval.
To join in, children should order a plain CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund t-shirt in their size from the website at ww.benhollioakefund.com or by calling 01483 447752.
It is then up to them to customise the shirt any way they like on the theme of Twenty20 Cricket - maybe using the colours of their favourite team or by drawing their favourite player or County mascot using any materials they wish. The most imaginative and exciting design wins!
There are two entry age groups: up to age 8 and 9-15 years. Adam Hollioake will judge the winners, and all t-shirts can be returned at the end of the competition.
Lancashire and England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has taken up first strike and will be designing a t-shirt as one of the prizes. He said: "I am very happy to be supporting Adam's charity through this great competition. The cause is so worthwhile and I wish all the entrants the best of luck."
Founder of the CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund, Adam Hollioake said: "It's a great opportunity for children to get creative and have lots of fun whilst supporting cricket and the Fund."
The CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund's aim is to create a centre in London which will support and expand the level of care provided to life limited children who are not expected to live past the age of 19. All proceeds from the competition will go towards the fund.

SearchAll Refuges
The protection and management of fragile shore habitat and wildlife give Amagansett National Wildlife Refuge special significance.
For the protection of migratory bird nesting areas, the Fish & Wildlife Service will temporarily close portions of the Amagansett and Morton refuge beaches from April 1 to August 31.
The Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex consists of seven national wildlife refuges, two refuge sub-units and one wildlife management area.
Amagansett is managed as part of the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
Planning any travel to National Parks or National Wildlife Refuges this summer? Did you know that you can purchase federal recreational passes at Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge? We have a selection of passes available for all types of visitors!
Management efforts at Amagansett focus on protecting native strand communities, providing habitat for threatened and endangered species, migratory birds and other wildlife, and controlling non-native species. Learn more on our Resource Management page.
Did you know our Refuge Complex has a Facebook page? Follow us on Facebook for current updates on your favorite Long Island refuges!
Piping plovers, federally listed as threatened, arrive at the refuge between mid-March and early April. Before the bird arrive fencing put up on a portion of the beach area to ensure the birds have the privacy they need. Once a full clutch of eggs has been laid, the refuge erects a wire exclosure around the nest.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so. ~Robert Ingersoll
All religion is a foolish answer to a foolish question. ~Thomas Shelby
The strongly religious fear our capacity for moral reasoning that does not require a magical, invisible deity. They fear our ability to be ethical without the threat of hell or the reward of heaven. They fear that our allegiance is not to this or that country, or this or that prophet, or this or that guru, but to humanity as a whole. ~Phil Zuckerman
The idea that God could only forgive our sins by having his son tortured to death as a scapegoat is surely, from an objective point of view, a deeply unpleasant idea. If God wanted to forgive us our sins, why didn't he just forgive them? Why did he have to have his son tortured? ~Richard Dawkins
Small is beautiful, when small is skilled and dedicated. ~Gene Logsdon
All religions are lies and scams, and all believers are victims. ~David Silverman
We [atheists] have no martyrs, we have no saints. ~Christopher Hitchens
Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. ~H L Mencken
I've observed that people tend to live at one of two extremes in the spectrum of life: those who live on the edge, and those who avoid the edge. Those who live on the edge are hanging out in the most dangerous and unstable places — yet they're also often the most powerful agents of change, because the edge is where change is happening; away from the edge, things are naturally unchanging. ~Thom Hartmann
Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion. ~Jon Stewart
My 12th year was my most Christian and most boring year in my life. ~Chuck Berry
Come on. You just can't come up with anything more ridiculous than someone who honestly thinks that all human woes stem from an incident in which a talking snake accosted a naked woman in a primeval garden and talked her into eating a piece of fruit. ~Keith Parsons
When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco
Christians don't need to be born again, they need to grow up. ~John Shelby Spong
Life is not a problem to be solved, nor a question to be answered. Life is a mystery to be experienced. ~Alan Watts
Society is like a stew: If you don't stir it up every now and then, the scum rises to the top.~Edward Abbey
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller
How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one. ~ Richard Dawkins
I'm not saying there isn't a god, but there isn't a god who cares about people. And who wants a god who doesn't give a shit? ~Robert Munsch
One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. ~Arthur C. Clarke
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; Give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. ~ Anon
When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ~ Stephen Roberts
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. ~ Joseph Campbell
The only true definition of an atheist: a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in God or gods. ~Oxford English Dictionary
You have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Faith is just another word for gullibility.
I sang as one / Who on a tilting deck sings / To keep men's courage up, though the wave hangs / That shall cut off their sun. ~C. Day Lewis

Books of the Freethinkers Bible
What is a fact beyond all doubt is that we share an ancestor with every other species of animal and plant on the planet. We know this because some genes are recognizably the same genes in all living creatures, including animals, plants and bacteria. And, above all, the genetic code itself — the dictionary by which all genes are translated — is the same across all living creatures that have ever been looked at. We are all cousins. Your family tree includes not just obvious cousins like chimpanzees and monkeys but also mice, buffaloes, iguanas, wallabies, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, wombats and bacteria. All are our cousins. Every last one of them. Isn't that a far more wonderful thought than any myth? And the most wonderful thing of all is that we know for certain it is literally true...
The whole world is made of incredibly tiny things, much too small to be visible to the naked eye — and yet none of the myths or so-called holy books that some people, even now, think were given to us by an all-knowing god, mentions them at all! In fact, when you look at those myths and stories, you can see that they don't contain any of the knowledge that science has patiently worked out. They don't tell us how big or how old the universe is; they don't tell us how to treat cancer; they don't explain gravity or the internal combustion engine; they don't tell us about germs, or anesthetics. In fact, unsurprisingly, the stories in holy books don't contain any more information about the world than was known to the primitive peoples who first started telling them! If these 'holy books' really were written, or dictated, or inspired, by all-knowing gods, don't you think it's odd that those gods said nothing about any of these important and useful things? -Richard Dawkins
Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility. Life, as it is, does not frighten me, since I have made my peace with the universe as I find it, and bow to its laws… It seems to me that organized creeds are collections of words around a wish. I feel no need for such.
I know that nothing is destructible; things merely change forms. When the consciousness we know as life ceases, I know that I shall still be part and parcel of the world. I was a part before the sun rolled into shape and burst forth in the glory of change. I was, when the earth was hurled out from its fiery rim. I shall return with the earth to Father Sun, and still exist in substance when the sun has lost its fire, and disintegrated into infinity to perhaps become a part of the whirling rubble of space. Why fear? The stuff of my being is matter, ever changing, ever moving, but never lost; so what need of denominations and creeds to deny myself the comfort of all my fellow men? -Zora Neale Hurston
Democratic Socialism
Socialist Alternative is the organization that spearheaded the campaign to elect Kshama Sawant to Seattle City Council, the first independent socialist elected in a major U.S. city in decades. We are a national organization fighting in our workplaces, communities, and campuses against the exploitation and injustices people face every day. We are community activists fighting against budget cuts in public services; we are activists campaigning for a $15/hour minimum wage and fighting, democratic unions; we are people of all colors speaking out against racism and attacks on immigrants, students organizing against tuition hikes and war, women and men fighting sexism and homophobia.
We believe the Republicans and Democrats are both parties of big business, and we are campaigning to build an independent, alternative party of workers and young people to fight for the interests of the millions, not the millionaires.
We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of the economic crisis, poverty, discrimination, war, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership under democratic control to end the ruling elites' global competition for profits and power.
We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about.
We are for democratic socialism where ordinary people will have control over our daily lives.
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. ~Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Founder
In the history of the world, the number of times a supernatural anything has been proven true is zero. Every god, ghost, spirit, devil, possession, and miracle ever claimed true is a lie. No exceptions. The number of times an atheistic (godless) argument has been proven wrong by a theistic argument is zero... In contrast, every time a theist-versus-atheist argument has been settled, an atheistic argument has won. This does not mean science is antireligion; it just means (or rather, strongly implies) religion is wrong... I challenge anyone to find any scientifically valid testable proof of anything supernatural, ever. If you can prove it, even once, I'll quit my job. I'm not nervous, as it has never been done in history, because it's ALL a lie. ~David Silverman, President
Local Organic Family Farms
THE SMALL ORGANIC FARM greatly discomforts the corporate/ industrial mind because the small organic farm is one of the most relentlessly subversive forces on the planet. Over centuries both the communist and the capitalist systems have tried to destroy small farms because small farmers are a threat to the consolidation of absolute power.
Thomas Jefferson said he didn't think we could have democracy unless at least 20% of the population was self-supporting on small farms so they were independent enough to be able to tell an oppressive government to stuff it.
It is very difficult to control people who can create products without purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and who can't be bullied because they can feed their own faces. ~Eliot Coleman

"RE: Is this D7000 Metering Method Flawed?"
Do I use exposure compensation? All the time! BUT, I never use the exposure compensation button. If you use the button, you must remember to "zero" it out afterwards or you may inadvertently introduce compensation into subsequent photos by mistake. Using the analog meter in the viewfinder, I adjust exposure over or under for each shot based on the reflectivity of the scene thus introducing the "exposure compensation" I want. When using manual exposure mode I control the exposure, not the camera. Much like you and your spot metering of a highlight, you control the exposure not the camera.

Add My Service to TNM Viewer - 13 of 12
Add My Service to TNM Viewer FAQs - 12 Found
Why am I having problems adding Web Map Services to TNM Viewer?
The following are common problems and solutions:
- Many WMS's are set up to only support the Geographic WGS84 (EPSG:4326) spatial reference system. Make sure to enable EPSG:102100 as your service must support WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).
- WMS may be down, so check if it is up by calling the service directly.
- Can you open the GetCapabilities request in a web browser?
- Add the following parameters after the "?", such as "request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1". Parameters are case sensitive so use CAPITAL letters as necessary.
- TNM Viewer can't parse the GetCapabilities request if the word, Infinity, is used to describe a scale hint parameter. Recommend use of an appropriate numeric value.
- The service has too many layers to process. JavaScript processing in TNM Viewer currently does not handle services well with more than 50 layers.

The Woman Warrior
by Maxine Hong Kingston
Moon Orchid
Character Analysis
We know that Kingston's female relatives are of particular interest in this book. Kingston's dedication of the fourth chapter to the story of her aunt Moon Orchid's arrival in the United States is significant.
But what do we make of Moon Orchid? We might immediately think that she's kind of wimpy. Her husband has left her in China and has now taken a new wife in the United States. When Moon Orchid arrives in America, she doesn't even want to confront her husband, not wanting to interfere with his life even though he pretty much wrote her out of his. We might relate to Brave Orchid's insistence that Moon Orchid stand up for herself and say something to her husband. What is going on? Why doesn't she say or do something? We might get annoyed because Kingston has trained us to question the expected role of wife for Chinese women (the No Name aunt, Fa Mu Lan, for example).
But what does it mean that Moon Orchid does not want to reclaim her husband? Her non-confrontational and reticent (hesitant to speak) manner might tick us off because Kingston has that whole thing going on about Chinese women and the struggle with silence. Is there another way to look at Moon Orchid, though? Perhaps, it's a sign of strength that she does not wish for a husband. We see how much Brave Orchid pressures her sister into seeing her husband again, but shouldn't we consider why Moon Orchid might not want to see him? Sure, maybe she is too shy and can't stand facing rejection. But maybe she knows her husband's a jerk and she just doesn't want to have him in her life anymore. Maybe the family she came for was that of her daughter and her sister.
Moon Orchid is complicated because, as Kingston writes, she is a dislocated character. She seems always to be dependent on someone else in order to belong. She's in limbo between her husband, her sister, and her daughter and also between China and the United States. It's no wonder that Moon Orchid comes across as out of sorts. Wouldn't you be if you had no place to call home? The fact that she has no privacy and no space to call her own, perhaps what leads to Moon Orchid's paranoid delusion that she is being watched by spies. It's interesting that it's not until Moon Orchid is taken into the insane asylum and out of the reach of her biological family, that she seems to find peace

Congressman/doctor Michael Burgess sees "grave situation" in Dallas Ebola case
WASHINGTON — Rep. Michael Burgess, one of the few physicians in Congress, called it unfortunate that the Ebola outbreak has reached the United States, but only a matter of time.
"Unfortunately, the inevitable has occurred. In this global age in which we live, this type of spread was very likely with an epidemic of this size and scope," said Burgess, R-Lewisville.
He expressed confidence in U.S. infection control techniques.
Burgess said he's been keeping tabs on the outbreak for months, and had spoken with medical authorities, including the CDC director, Dr. Tom Frieden, who briefed the news media this afternoon about the Dallas patient — the first Ebola case ever identified in the United States.
"I was troubled in particular with the disproportionate number of health care workers who were infected with this disease by working on the front lines," Burgess said. "…This is a grave situation that requires all hands on deck."

What is an organelle?
Think of an organelle as a "tiny organ" that is a component of a cell. The organelle usually contains a membrane which helps create a compartment where certain cellular activities can occur without interference from other elements in a cell.

What do ribosomes do?
Ribosomes are where RNA is translated into protein. This process is called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is very important to cells, therefore large numbers of ribosomes are found in cells. Ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm, and are also bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
What is the function of the mitochondria?

Soesja CitroenView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Although not well known in the U.S., Soesja Citroen is among Holland's top jazz singers and has commanded a lot of respect in European jazz circles. Her influences include Abbey Lincoln, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, among others, and she is an expressive interpreter of lyrics as well as a talented composer/lyricist. Though Dutch is her native language, Citroen's English is excellent--and she sings with only a slight trace of a Dutch accent. The vocalist was born and raised in the Hague, and as a young adult, she moved to Amsterdam to further her education and earned a masters degree in social psychology. Citroen was 32 when, in 1980, she recorded her debut album, To Build--and she went on to provide seven more albums in the 1980s, recording for Turning Point, Varagram and Timeless. It was in 1983 that she recorded the Turning Point release Soesja Citroen Sings Thelonious Monk, which received rave reviews from European jazz critics and is considered one of her best albums. Another conceptual offering that enjoyed high marks from European critics was 1987's Soesja Citroen sings Fred Astaire on Varagram. Citroen was equally busy in the 1990s, when she recorded for Varajazz and Challenge and often worked with the well respected British producer Chris Ellis. ~ Alex Henderson

I was going to do this article in a couple of weeks' time, but 2011 has already had a chance to create some memorable moments.
I think it would be more interesting to do it now, when it is earlier in the year, which will make this article more challenging.
We have seen four RAWs and three SmackDowns in this time, so it is my job to research and try on 11 surprises so far this year...and is it your job to chill out and enjoy the read.

This strange looking object is just one part of the Daimler that represents the balance of pure conservation and minor restoration that will be characteristic of the work we are doing. In many discussions with visitors and on our blog we have mentioned our desire to stick – as far as possible – to a conservation approach. That is, retain and reuse as much of the original as possible. However, we always knew that there would be parts that would have to have extra work along with some that need to be replaced – the crankshaft is a fine example of the latter.
What is it?..and why does it affect our treatment approach?

Royal Daimler at the Car Rally
The Centenary of Canberra Car Rally was a great outing for the Museum's Royal Daimler Project. On Sunday 20 October Chris, Laster, Kathi and I were on the lawns of Old Parliament House with the virtual Royal Daimler, our mascot – the waiving Queen, and lots of National Museum enthusiasm, balloons and lollipops.
The Rally
The Centenary of Canberra Car Rally on 19 – 20 October was organised by the National Trust . Participants in the rally travelled from Jervis Bay to Canberra on Saturday. On Sunday, they paraded their cars on the lawns of Old Parliament House. There were many stunning cars on display. A few photos are included in this post. Continue reading

A Virtual Concourse D'elegance for the Museum's Royal Daimler
This Sunday, 20 October, the National Museum of Australia's Royal Daimler will make a virtual appearance at the Centenary of Canberra Car Rally on the lawns of Old Parliament House.
The Royal Daimler has been completely disassembled by our expert conservation staff in order to bring her back to her former glory. The Museum aims to raise $60,000 by July next year in order to help with this major conservation project and make the Royal Daimler fit for a queen again. Continue reading
Chassis work
The Daimler chassis that has been a major presence in the Large Technology lab over the past few months has been moved to another Museum site for painting now that it has been repaired. The painting will be done on the forecourt of one of the stores inside a specially constructed tent, with the team decked out in their personal protective equipment (PPE). Our investigations and helpful information from UK and Australia established that the chassis would have been gloss black; and so it will be once more. Continue reading

The Royal Daimler is a Canberra Treasure
The Royal Daimler has been classified as a Canberra treasure in a new book by Betty Churcher, ex Director of the National Gallery of Australia, and artist Lucy Quinn.

News today that William, Kate and George might be heading to Australia to next year. news link
Did you know that the Royal Daimler in the Museum's collection was originally painted in the little prince's great grandfather, King George's, colours? The Daimler was purchased and prepared for His Majesty's 1949 Royal Tour, but King George never made that journey. The car was then prepared for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's 1954 Royal Tour , and painted over in Her royal colours. All this historic detail is visible on the car.
Help us restore the 1948 Royal Daimler and make it fit for a king, a queen, or prince again! Visit www.nma.gov.au/support_us to make a donation.

They no exactly what they're doing which is why they never answer the phone or return calls. The same person L. Brown answers all the emails. There standard response is, you agreed to the terms and conditions. Too bad. It's unfortunate that a company would willfully take advantage of people who may not read and write the English language and understand that they just gave 450.00 to a comapny that is in essence doing nothing at all for them.

We can't take our eyes off of the fall beauty trends this upcoming season. We've got some bad news for the lipstick fanatics out there-the focus for fall/winter 2014 is all about the eyes. Eyes are the feature that should dominate your face for the coming months. With an emphasize on metallic touches, doll-like lashes, defined liner and glowing fresh skin, these make-up trends are sure to leave you feeling unstoppable.
We've seen all sorts of eye-catching make up ideas, from liquid latex lids as seen on the Dior catwalk to extra-long false lashes catching the spotlight at Gucci and Rochas. A natural fresh face certainly remained popular as well, but this time it was either a healthy vibe of glowing skin or the clever sculpting and definition for a perfect take on the bare-faced look. Pair an exaggerated eye with dewey skin and chiseled cheekbones to complete your fall beauty look.
Check out the latest beauty trends for the coming months down below!

In addition to that frustration, not only did we have to wait on line, but the only thing was we got served water and candy canes! Water and Candy canes with no toilet to relieve us! $1,200 and we couldn't even get a Saltine Cracker?
After I 'served time' online in the 'Payment Verification' line, it was the exact time that my only workshop I was interested in ended [Comedy workshop]. We were given 'a choice': either stay on line, or they 'encouraged' us to go to the workshop and forget about being on line and come back later. Come back to what? Another line? Then on top of that we had YET ANOTHER line to go to for our information packet in which THEY were incomplete. That in itself warranted yet ANOTHER line the next day that lasted a multitude of hours!
I was told months in advance that my routine is to be PG-rated and only 1 minute long. I had practiced and cut down and customized my routine to make sure I ended within the 1-minute timeframe. I get this slip of paper under my door, THE MORNING OF MY AUDITION, stating that I now had 'up to 2 minutes' to perform my act. Gee. Thanks. Water, candy canes, and a 2-minute warning. And I practically chant under my breath endlessly, '$1,200 for this crap, $1,200 for this CRAP!!!'
I also missed the only other 'repeat workshop' because it was at the exact time that my audition was on. So, not only did I pay $1,200 just to be annoyed, but I paid to not attend ANY of my desired workshops. Hence, I was inadvertently set up for failure in many aspects. I am adamant in that I was severely ripped off, amongst thousands of other raw talents that came to this event.
I was told that because 5 year olds will be in the audience, I need to be PG-rated. I was led to believe that I was going to audition in front of not only the judges themselves but an actual audience. No. It was in front of the judges only. To me, that's not a fair assessment. Not to mention, that was NOT was promised to me.
What one Fashion Rock coordinator didn't know, the other did and vice versa. And what the other did know, it was completely different information than what the other coordinator knew about. It was like the blind leading the blind. Can you say 'Ray Charles'?!
Was I coming in the hopes to 'win a prize and get noticed'? Of course not. I am a realist. But, to not even get a chance to go to ONE of the workshops that I came to experience, nor get any ample time to even attempt to network with anyone is absolutely unacceptable to me. I spend half my weekend waiting on a multitude of lines, which left me frustrated and extraordinarily exhausted. I was too tired to mingle and network with others.
Then, to add insult to injury, they had the utter AUDACITY to actually sell us the Fashion Rock Holiday Event on CD for $35!!! Hell, that should have been THROWN in our already INCOMPLETE Information Bags, because we WERE the talent there. $35!?!? Hell, even Columbia Records wouldn't attempt to skin us like that!
You know what I learned in the 72 hours I spent in Fashion Hell? I learned that I made a multitude of people on line laugh and that I don't need a panel of PAID Fashion Rock judges tell me whether or not I'm funny. I've also learned that I will not EVER pay for event to tell me whether or not I'm talented. Yup. I lived and I learned. But quite frankly, I'd like my money back.

McIntyre vs. Zacchiroli in Debian Leadership Battle
Two developers have entered the race for the Debian Project Leadership. New candidate Stephano "Zack" Zacchiroli is challenging current leader Steve McIntyre, who is running for a second term in office.
An announcement by the newly selected secretary Kurt Roeckx early in March declared the election open. Both candidates have websites introducing themselves and explaining their individual ideas for Debian's future.
British Steve McIntyre joined Debian in 1996 and has lead the project since 2008. In his platform statement he tells of his reluctance to run for the post a second time, and how he was finally convinced to do so by his friends. If he does win, McIntyre says he will appoint Luk Claes as his assistant. McIntyre has been calling for more communication within the Debian Project since he was elected in 2008 and some of the goals he set himself he failed to realize because of the enormous complexity of the workload. Which is why he wants the support of Claes this time around, he says.
First-time candidate Stephano "Zack" Zacchiroli has been a Debian developer since 2001. "My Debian involvement has been through two distinct phases. In the first one I only cared about my packages, ignoring the community: no IRC, no -devel subscription, etc. Then, at LinuxTag 2004, I discovered Debian as a community and got fascinated by it, gradually increasing my involvement in the project" he says. Zacchiroli is a researcher at the Diderot University in Paris, which he describes as a contributors nest for the French Debian community. If elected, he wants to make Debian more accessible for contributions from outside the community and he too desires better communication at Debian and promises more personal meetings. Dealing with what he calls vocal minorities is also on his to-do list, and in a probable reference to the unrest that lead to the previous secretary stepping down prior to the Lenny release, Zacchiroli says, "Our mailing lists have substantially improved over the last 5 years. Every now and then though, they get polluted by (apparently) very vocal minorities capable of polarizing discussions, which is neither productive, nor fun."
The election campaign will run until March 29, with ideas and suggestions from both candidates being discussed on the Internet. Voting under the relatively complicated Condorcet method will take place between March 29 and April 11. Voters will select candidates according to rank.
