Looking for that perfect finishing touch to complete your decorating scheme? How about an updated look for your den or a quick makeover for your living room? For each of these situations (and many others) lampshades can be the perfect solution, as they can quickly and easily transform a room or tie all of your design elements together to make a stunning finished product.
But how do you know what to choose? Because lampshades come in all shapes, sizes, styles, colors, materials and textures, picking the right one can be challenging. However, once you understand the basics of form and function—from the elements you should consider to the factors you must know—choosing shades can be an enormously creative, rewarding process.
To help you make the best lampshade selection, we've composed this comprehensive guide. By following these simple rules and exercising your imagination, you'll have everything you need to know to choose the ideal lampshade.
First, keep in mind that style really is "made in the shade." Think of the lampshade as the icing on the cake or the crowning design feature that will "make" the room. At times this will mean keeping it simple and understated, to create a clean aesthetic or emphasize different accessories; other times it will mean making a decadent, bold statement where the shade commands attention and becomes a focal point of the room.
Because the effects of a lampshade can be so dramatic and divergent, determining the function and placement of your fixture is the first order of business. Begin by asking these questions:
The cardinal rule of lampshade size and placement, according to Ron Leddusire, Senior Designer at Destination Lighting, is, "Never let the hardware show at eye-level." Mixing and matching styles, shapes and colors are all acceptable, but if the shade is too short—especially if the lamp is placed on a mantle or higher surface—then the hardware will show, and that's definitely a fashion faux-pas.
Next, consider proportion and scale. The size and shape of the lamp base will determine which shades will work—for example, square bases typically go with square shades and slender bases pair well with sleek shades. But there can be exceptions—for example, a rounded shade might look fabulous with a square base when placed on an oval table. "Just go for a shape that works," Leddusire says. "The lampshade that you like is always the correct one."
Leddusire suggests that although the choice is personal, you should keep the three S's in mind when choosing a lampshade: Shape, Size and Surface. The shape of the shade—bell, coolie, drum, empire, hexagon, square (see diagram)—is usually determined by the size and shape of the lamp base. While there is no simple formula for fitting shades to floor lamps, there is one for table lamps: The height of the shade = 2/3 the height of the base; width of the shade = 1/2 inch wider on each side than the widest point in the base.
Shade surface—the material the lampshade is made of—is a little trickier, as that decision is based on both function and room decor. For example, if the purpose of the lamp is to provide accent lighting or to create a diffused effect, then a dark-colored shade of a dense material is ideal because it will project light from the top and bottom but not much through the shade itself. On the other hand, if the purpose of the fixture is to provide powerful illumination for bright ambient light, then a translucent fabric shade is needed—this can be soft or hardback, and most commonly would be an eggshell, natural fiber or off-white color.
Other than functional constraints, there are no hard and fast rules governing what materials work best for which shades. Generally, you want to match furniture finishes, wall color, window treatments or floor coverings but, as Leddusire says, "it's a fashion industry." And that means surface choice is always subjective. Pick what pleases you.
A major yet often overlooked aspect of lampshade selection is safety—specifically, heat generation in relation to shade size. Higher wattage bulbs generate greater amounts of heat and require more ventilation, which means larger or wider shades must be used. Very simply, the higher the wattage, the larger the shade.
The crucial information you need to obtain in order to determine if the shade is large enough for the bulb strength you are going to use is the "critical radius" or measurement taken from the middle of the light bulb to the inside edge of the lampshade (see diagram). For example, for a 60-watt bulb, there must be at least 2-7/8″ of space between the filament and inside edge of the lampshade in order to operate safely.
The Underwriters Laboratories rating (UL rating) listed on the socket will indicate the highest wattage bulb allowed for that shade and this rating should be strictly adhered to. Through extensive testing they have determined the following safe critical radius ratios:
|Lamp Base / Bulb Size
|Critical Radius
|0-25 Watts
|1 5/8″
|26-40 Watts
|41-60 Watts
|61-75 Watts
|2 7/8″
|76-100 Watts
|101-150 Watts
|0-25 Watts
|26-40 Watts
|41-60 Watts
If you do not have a measuring tape handy, a simple way to determine if a lampshade is providing sufficient ventilation is to turn the lamp on for five minutes, then feel the top of the shade. If it is hot to the touch, the opening is too narrow.
If it's the perfect lampshade you seek, you'll find it at Destination Lighting. Shopping for the right shade is a breeze using Product Finder™, which allows you to sort shades by color, type (size and material), shape and decoration (fringe, piping, etc.). Simply select your criteria from the drop-down menu and, voila!, a pre-sorted selection of products is displayed for you to choose from.

|Popular in the Victorian era, bells are well suited to traditional interiors.
|This shape gives any base a contemporary look.
|At home in midcentury modern interiors, a drum shade is best paired with spherical or pure geometrical bases.
|This classic shape looks right atop nearly any base.
|This unusual shape evokes an early-twentieth-century rustic feeling.
|Match a square shade with a square base, or contrast it with a round one for an unexpected twist.
Once you've picked the appropriate size of your lampshade, you need to consider how it will attach to the base. The three most common types of lampshade assemblies are: Spider, Uno and Clip-on (see diagram). The Spider or Standard assembly is the most conventional, consisting of multiple spokes positioned at the top of the shade that meet at a central point which attaches to the harp. The harp comes with the base and can be adjusted to move the shade up or down (see diagram). It is secured at the top with a finial. The Uno assembly attaches to the lamp base at the socket with a ring; wires descend from the shade to form a "V", which attach to the ring, just below the light bulb. The Clip-on assembly is attached to the shade itself and clips onto the light bulb.
Most lamp shades come with Spider assemblies but can work with the Clip-on or Uno assemblies if the size of the shade and bulb are appropriate. Simply remove the harp from the lamp base to use with a different shade assembly—either installing the Uno ring fitting (for Uno assemblies) or clipping on the lampshade over the bulb (for Clip-ons).
Deciphering lampshade measurements can be difficult, but the system is logical once you know what the numbers mean. Basically, lampshade sizes are expressed in three dimensions: the first represents the top diameter, the second indicates the bottom diameter, and the third states the length of the slant—e.g. 6 × 12 × 10 means that the top opening is six inches wide, the bottom is twelve inches wide, and the shade has a slant that is ten inches long (see diagram). Sometimes the fitter recess depth (or "drop") is also taken into consideration and listed fourth.
When you've settled on a lampshade, you may consider topping it with a decorative finial. The fastener that holds the shade in place, the finial doesn't have to be boring or flush with the top of the shade; it can add a whole new dimension—literally!—to your fixture.
Finials come in an array of designs, sizes and temperaments—from an opulent, sparkling star-cut crystal to a whimsical, life-sized porcelain golf ball. By adding an ornamental finial you can entirely transform the look of your lampshade or complete its design. Changing the finial—like changing the lampshade itself—is also a cost-effective and easy way to update a fixture and a room.
As you can see, choosing the right lampshade involves a good deal of thoughtful consideration and a host of optional elements. But if you follow the guidelines we've set forth, you can transform any environment into a spectacular and functional living space quickly and easily. Just remember the four S's: Shape, Size, Surface and Safety, identify the shade setting and function, and let your imagination run wild!
Ultimately, choosing the ideal shade is a personal decision. If you love it, it is the perfect choice. So, tap your creativity and start shopping—you'll soon have it "made in the shade."

There was a stir of anticipation throughout the festival grounds in South Fork CO as Day Two of Rhythms on the Rio opened. Headliners always get festival-goers hyped, and today we were seeing some of the best of the best.

HAPPY END of YEAR, 2015
Congratulations to all Cool Country members, old and new. We have enjoyed a great year of entertainment, getting together for regular practice/workshop nights and our monthly Open Days which have been very well attended. All things considered, a very successful year.
September Open Day guest artist, Vanessa Warra, 'snapped' by Kay Kelly just prior to her powerful performance. Vanessa was so popular with the audience, she agreed to an enchore performance later in the day.
Vanessa, also affectionately known as 'The Pocket Rocket', is presently touring the Queensland country music scene performing and promoting her CDs.
Final Open Day for 2015
We are looking forward to our final Open Day for 2015 - Sunday, 29 November 2015.
As usual; doors open at midday for a 1:00pm start. Refreshments available, tea and coffee included in your entrance donation of $5:00 p/p.... kids entry Free.
Sausage sizzle, sandwiches and soft drinks available for a small extra charge.
Tanya Marie Sims is our special Open Day guest artist this month. Tanya has a load of experience in the Australia country music scene and we are looking forward to her performance Sunday afternoon.
Below: Keep an eye out for these friendly faces...... Most important team in the house, The Kitchen Crew. They'll serve you sausages with sauce and mustard... Yum.
Don't forget our Cool Country Xmas Bash to be held at Gattackers Bay restaurant, 03 December this year... arrival time 6:00pm. Members cost is $15.00 p/p, subsidised by the club and other guests will pay $25.00 p/p to attend the occasion. Dress is smart casual. See Christine or Jenny (promptly) for bookings and other information as we are running short on time. Enquiries on the club Hot Line: 0427 150015.
The club is proud to advise they were able to donate more than $10,000 to local charities in 2014.
When Cool Country became an incorporated Body (Cool Country Incorporated), apart from being a country music club for the enjoyment of its members, we decided a main reason for Cool Country Inc's existence would be to act as a fund raiser for the local community and make donations to worthy charities whenever possible.
Funds are raised at club practice nights by charging a small attendance fee of $4.00 per person and a small charge for refreshments. Club nights are held most Thursdays of the year and guests are welcome to attend for a donation of $4.00 per person. Other funds are raised at Open Days held on the last Sunday each month. Revenue sources consist of: $5.00 entrance fees per person, raffles, refreshments donations etc.. Kids are always free.
An extract from our latest newsletter below:
Our Club's annual activities support local Businesses, Community Group donations, local charities and the clients of Retirement Villages and Aged Care facilities that look forward to regular free entertainment by our members. Through our members generous support Cool Country has been able to support the following local groups: HERVEY BAY STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE, MARYBOROUGH STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE, DUNDOWRAN RURAL FIRE BRIGADE, HERVEY BAY MEALS ON WHEELS, PARKINSONS SUPPORT GROUP, BAY CONNECT, THE HERVEY BAY SPECIAL SCHOOL and THE HERVEY BAY MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
The club has also donated a moveable stage that can be configured for most users of the Community Centre hall.
After a slowish start to the new year everything is getting back to normal with a 'stuttery' February Open Day held as usual in the new Hervey Bay Community Centre in Charles Street.
As February is a short month, the last Sunday was the 22nd and caught a number of our regulars by surprise and they missed out.... notwithstanding the threat of Cyclone 'Marcia' (Marsha to the media) dumping Her category 4 to 5 winds and rain on Hervey Bay. Storm in a tea-cup as it turned out and open day was held in warm sunny weather. Still, the threat of stormy winds and rain kept our attendance down a bit and our line-up of guest performers from Bundaberg played it safe stayed home.
Thank you to all the wonderful people who turned up on a cold Thursday night for this year's Cool Country Music Club's A.G.M. The meeting was very well attended. It is good to know that our members are concerned, appreciative and involved with their club.
Congratulations and thanks to all those people who have taken on roles of responsibility for the next twelve months. As the Elected Committee Members of Cool Country Inc., we are the face of the Club for this year 2014-2015. We have the responsibility to ensure that Cool Country continues to grow and prosper during our year of guardianship. We must try to positively promote Cool Country Music Club. We will attempt the keep the best interests of the entire Club in mind, while treating each other with respect. You may not always agree but first consider, is it for the good of all? Last year Cool Country donated funds to many Hervey Bay Charities, with the latest $1000 donated to The Hervey Bay Special School last month.
Cool Country Music Club is a not for profit club that will continue to contribute to local charitable groups. This function is a vital part of who we are, to give back to the local Community.

Analysis of Stability and Bifurcation in Nonlinear Mechanics with Dissipation

AbstractThe analysis of stability and bifurcation is studied in nonlinear mechanics with dissipative mechanisms: plasticity, damage, fracture. The description is based on introduction of a set of internal variables. This framework allows a systematic description of the material behaviour via two potentials: the free energy and the potential of dissipation. In the framework of standard generalized materials the internal state evolution is governed by a variational inequality which depends on the mechanism of dissipation. This inequality is obtained through energetic considerations in an unified description based upon energy and driving forces associated to the dissipative process. This formulation provides criterion for existence and uniqueness of the system evolution. Examples are presented for plasticity, fracture and for damaged materials.

Shopping in downtown Evergreen at Christmas is the perfect place for those who hate long lines and crowds but like unusual gifts, moderate festivity and a steady amount of buzz.
Local shop owners reported that Friday's traffic was encouraging, and they expect this year to be at least as good, if not better, than last year.
Friday afternoon, the streets were lined with cars and parking lots were loaded, but it was still possible to find free parking on the street. One thing about a recession — the owners are actually in the stores.
The proposed cuts to the 2011-12 budget for the Jefferson County School District will involve core services, the district's chief financial officer said.
The district is estimating at least $26 million in cuts, and it will mean cutting even more positions than last year.
"We're already stretched pretty thin," said Lorie Gillis, the district's chief financial officer. "This time we're not trimming the edges (of the budget). We will be cutting some services we provide."
Evergreen Park and Rec District Executive Director John Skeel is leaving for a position in California.
Skeel will join El Dorado Hills Community Services District as general manager, according to Kit Darrow, president of the EPRD board.
Skeel left a copy of his letter of resignation at the Courier office over the weekend. The letter is dated Nov. 26, though a newspaper in California was reporting that Skeel had taken the job there more than two weeks ago.
Skeel's last day of work at EPRD will be Dec. 10.
For a decade in the middle of Winston Jones' long run exhibiting the world's largest bell collection, in and around his lovely home at the start of Upper Bear Creek, Orville Hagen gave Bergen Park the right to claim the title of the world's largest collection of clocks. If you missed visiting the Clock Museum before its closure, you missed the chance to hear more than 1,000 clocks chiming at once. If you missed Winston ringing in the new year before his passing and leaving his collection to Hasting College, you missed a huge and unique opportunity.
What are bells on bobtails? Why are the lords a-leaping? What will it take to have peace on Earth and goodwill toward all people? These questions arise each year at the holiday season. Some take a lighthearted look at the intricacies of holiday caroling, and others address more serious issues that world leaders and everyday citizens have struggled with for years. This year, the Evergreen Children's Chorale is taking on all of these questions in song at its annual holiday concert "Songs of Hope."
Three of the seven Jefferson County Public Library trustees losttheir seats in office Tuesday, as the county commissioners appointed new members, including Commissioner Kathy Hartman, who was recently unsuccessful in her bid for re-election.
Hartman recused herself from the decision, and a unanimous vote among Commissioners Faye Griffin and Kevin McCasky followed for new appointees Buddy Douglass, Ray Elliot and Hartman.
What do you get when you cross a turkey with an octopus? A Thanksgiving dinner with drumsticks for everyone.
Why is a penny like a turkey sitting on a fence? Because its head's on one side and tail's on the other.
The jokes delivered by second-graders in Dee Werth's class at Bergen Meadow Elementary School made parents chuckle on Friday. The punch lines were part of a Thanksgiving presentation by the class that included songs and two plays. It all culminated with pumpkin pie made by the children.
The fire district board on Nov. 9 approved a $4.2 million draft operating budget for 2011 that mirrors the budget for 2010 in most respects, except that there will be a pay increase for employees under a newly defined pay-for-performance plan, as previously reported.
The final budget must be approved by mid-December.
The fire district forecasts operating revenue of $4.2 million in 2011, or about $20,000 less than budgeted in 2010, according to the budget document.
Volunteers collected 3,742 pounds of food Nov. 13 at the 9Cares Colorado Shares food drive.
"This is our largest single food drive ever," said Sharon Smith, executive director of Evergreen Christian Outreach. "We also received $21 in cash donations and approximately 400 pounds of clothing. So it was a huge success."
In addition, EChO has received nearly 300 turkeys to distribute to families for Thanksgiving. "We had a steady procession of folks driving up and dropping off turkeys at our office," Smith said.
A pair of developers interested in purchasing the vacant Albertsons building said the deal hinged on winning the community's support for a substantially larger sign at Evergreen Parkway and Stagecoach Boulevard. A name for the center has not been chosen.
Scott Reichenberg of Signature Partners and Jim Loftus of Loftus Developments, both of Boulder, are eyeing the long-empty supermarket as a retail center divided into three stores.

Sutherland, who rides for the United States-based UnitedHealthcare team, won the stage from Golden to Boulder - the final mountain stage - in four hours six minutes 12 seconds.
Leipheimer began in the stage in fourth place and trailing by eight seconds but bolted to the front of a small chasing group within the final three kilometres.
"I can't take credit for planning it like that, but obviously it was in the back of my mind to do that," said Leipheimer, who has finished in the top 10 of the Tour de France four times.
"The guys have gone above and beyond what they could do this week."
The week long, second-year race concludes on Sunday with a 15.3km individual time trial in Denver, Colorado.
"I'm not comfortable, I've got some great guys breathing down my neck," said Leipheimer, who holds a nine-second margin over countryman Christian Vande Velde, a former race leader who began the day in second via a tie-breaker.
American Tejay van Garderen, the previous race leader, faltered in the final mile, finished 11th in the stage and is now third overall, trailing by 21 seconds.
Sutherland, who has lived in Boulder for several years, emerged from a lead group at the base of the final climb, about five kilometres from the finish, and rode alone the rest of the way.
"I know this climb well enough that I knew I had to go at the bottom," Sutherland said. "I know where to go easy, I know where to go hard. I've done this climb, I don't know how many times. But this was the most beautiful one I've done."
Fabio Aru of Italy was second in stage six, trailing by 20 seconds. Jens Voigt of Germany was third, another six seconds back.

On 7/17/2011 I payed the $14.??, recieved shipping lable and shipped. Within 2 days of ebiznex recieving my computer, I checked the status at ebiznex.com. The website responded with "Repaired sucessfully-Envoiced". At this time I paid the I was then told my computer was not ready. I recieved no responces to emails so I opened a case in eBay to watch the transaction. As soon as I opened the case Mike Cox sent me an email stateing:
Hello Josef,
I was just about to send you a return tracking number when I noticed that you just opened a ebay case. [continued below]....
- elife_310
Contacted eBay Cust support & asked if Mike Cox was threating me to close the case or he would not send me my laptop back. They agreed & advised not to close the case because it could not be reopened. After, I was sent following email , but no envoice:
Outstanding Balance
Total repair: $79.95 per ebay auction ad: Paid 54.95. Total due: $21.00 I payed 54.95+14.00Update: Laptop returned through UPS NOT ebizxex.com's useual shipper of Fedx. Without being told a tracking number, A Laptop was returned to me. Dead. It Will not post, boot etc. Its a rock. Upon further investigation I found the computer returned to me is missing both hard drives and its memory. When I sent my computer to ebiznex/Mike Cox my computer would boot and function properly except it would not except it's Nvida Driver. Vista would install a generic vga driver which displayed a lower resolution. A symptom rather common in HP DV9000 Intel Duo laptops because of an overheating problem. There was a recall but I misseed it hence the sending it to ebiznex for video repair. In hindsight what a bluner. Such a disasterous attempt at running a computer repair business I was subjested to. Told one thing then another then another then another everything conflicting. Then all communications with ebiznex stopped. Then the case inside eBAY. Returned laptop a rock without hard drives and memory. I belive I was done wrong willfully by ebiznex/Mike Cox.

Wisconsin's only free car ferry is the Colsac III, which crosses the Wisconsin River between Columbia and Sauk Counties. Next to the ferry landing on the Columbia County side is a wayside. Park in the wayside lot and look for the Historical Marker which was established in 1973.
The Ice Age Trail passes through this wayside, and is marked by brown posts with yellow rectangles on the top. As you stand at the historical marker and read the words, look to your right and locate the trail marker. Follow this trail to your right, walking away from the ferry and the water as you do so.
Proceed on the trail. Very shortly you will cross a road named after an Irish baby bear. As you cross the road, the trail begins to enter a wooded path. The first tree on your left at the head of the wooded path will have a yellow rectangle painted on it. Look forward on the left side of the trail to spy a tree with at least four trunks rising out of its base. Behind this tree and buried under an elevated root you will find the letterbox. Please recover with bark and sticks when replacing the box.
After finding your treaure, should you decide to ride the ferry, the following information may be helpful:
The ferry runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until ice forms on the Wisconsin River. The ferry holds 15 vehicles at a time, in addition to bicycles and pedestrians. A single crossing takes about seven minutes. Pedestrians are able to ride round trip without exiting. Cars must exit after a single trip, but may line up upon exiting for a return trip.
Additionally, if you feel up for a scenic drive and some hiking, we have placed two other letter boxes within a few miles of this box :)

Skill Level Beginner
Photoshop has a number of built-in effects that you are going to apply to layers, and they are non-destructive and can be edited at anytime. They are very powerful. Let's show you the most common one. That's probably the Drop Shadow. So, I am going to select this Dahlia layer up here, this pink layer, turn it on and off, so you can see which one I am talking about. We want to add a Drop Shadow so it looks like this is floating above that background image. To do that, you will go down to the bottom of the Layers panel, and there's this little fx button or icon, and if you click on that, that pops up in a menu, where you can choose from all the built- in effects available inside Photoshop.
So, there's Drop Shadow. Let's go ahead and choose that. This will open up a very large dialog box called the Layer Style dialog box. Styles are a collection of effects. So, each one of these things over in the left are different effects. So, there is a Drop Shadow effect, an Inner Shadow effect, an Outer Glow, and so on. And then later on, you will learn that these can be saved. All these collection of choices that you can make in this dialog box can be saved as something called a Layer Style, so we will get to that later. First, let's talk about the Drop Shadow. When you chose Drop Shadow from that pop-up menu at the bottom of the Layers panel, it opened up the layer Style dialog box and automatically turned on the Drop Shadow effect.
So, you can turn that on and off by clicking the little check box next to the actual name. And then there is a bunch of controls for any particular effect that you have chosen, so, the Blend mode, the Color, the Opacity, the Angle, and so forth. One thing I want to teach new users, right away, is you don't have to play around with the Angle and the Distance sliders just to figure out where you want your shadow to go. You can see, as I move the sliders around, you are seeing the shadow in the image actually changing, and same thing with the Angle. What I actually find is a lot easier and more intuitive is just move your mouse outside the dialog box, and now you can actually grab that shadow directly and move it exactly where you want it.
And as you move it, you will see that the Angle and the Distance sliders are adjusting for you automatically based on your visual preference, instead of playing around with a bunch of numbers. So, tip number one there about manipulating the Drop Shadow, just grab it directly and put it right where you want it. So, the default Opacity is a little bit dark here. It's 75%, and the default Color is black. I may want to actually change the color of that Drop Shadow to be something more natural to this image. So, if I click on the Color Chip next, up here in the dialog box, that brings up a Color Picker.
And again, I can pick any color from within this dialog box and use the Hue slider over here and pick a particular shade of that, or you can actually sample from within the image itself. So, I am going to pick a pretty darker green here. When I take my mouse out of the Color Picker, it turns into an Eyedropper, and I can just pick on the particular color that I am interested in, and it will use that as the Drop Shadow color. I just find that, most often, using absolute black is not a very realistic looking shadow, so pick a nice dark color from the image itself, and you get better looking results.
So, I have sampled this green color over here. I am going to go ahead and click OK. And I can go and fine-tune this if I want. I want to make it a little bit softer, so I will use the Size slider to make the shadow harder or softer. There you can see I can make it pop- off the page there as much as I want. When I am done, I go ahead and click OK, and there's my Drop Shadow effect. So, pretty quick and easy. You will notice that, in the Layers panel, you have a new little fx indicator letting you know that effects have been applied to that particular layer. By default, it's going to expand the effects down.
You see there is a little drop arrow here. It's pointing up because it's opened. If I click it, it collapses those effects. You can have as many as like 10 different effects on a given layer, so you don't necessarily want to see all 10 listed here and take up all that screen real estate, so that's a reason why you have the ability to collapse and expand the list of effects. Now, I said earlier, these are nondestructive, which means you can go back and edit their values at any time. To do that, simply double-click on the specific effect that you want to edit. Now, since we only have one here, it's just Drop Shadow. Just double-click on the word Drop Shadow, and that will reopen that dialog box and take you right to that effect.
There is the last settings you used. So, if you want to make a little bit harder, I can adjust the Size. If I want to make the Distance just a little bit less far away, anything that you have chosen here can be changed. It's completely up to you. Go ahead and click OK, and now that's in effect. So, Drop Shadow, very simple, bottom of the Layers panel, click on the fx icon, choose the effect you want, pops open that dialog box, start editing away. Comes back after you click OK. Its added it as a nondestructive effect, and you can collapse or expand the settings there. You can even turn the Drop Shadow effect off right within the Layers panel as well.
So, if you have more than one effect, let's say, you have a Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Inner Border, Inner Stroke, and all that, you can turn all the effects off just by clicking on the eye next to the word Effects, or you can turn on and off individual effects just by clicking on the eye next to that specific effect.

The Story Behind UNC's Argyle Uniform Design
January 23rd, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
One look at North Carolina's uniforms and you're seemingly transported back to the 1950s, when the legendary Frank McGuire and his "Underground Railroad" of New York City-bred players first transformed the Tar Heels into a national power.
Those "Carolina blue" threads have become the epitome of an old-school, timeless look in college basketball. It's not just that particular shade of blue that does it for fans, either. No other school in the sport can boast a design quite like the argyle pattern running down the sides of both the shorts and the jerseys.
Logic would dictate that the argyle look dates back to McGuire. In fact, North Carolina is in "just" its 22nd season sporting a style that is wholly unique to the Tar Heels. (During the 1980s, the Heels had a white stripe down the side of the jerseys and a Tar Heel logo on the side of the shorts).
"Some people think the argyle came from Dean Smith's old four corners play because it looks kind of like that," said fashion designer Alexander Julian in a March 2009 story for Home Accents Today. "Actually it came from the fact that my first Coty award was catylyzed by a 14-color argyle sweater. That was my 'lucky' argyle and so I put my 'lucky' argyle on these uniforms."
Prior to the 1991–1992 season, Smith had asked Julian — a four-time winner of the Coty Award for American fashion and a three-time recipient of a Cutty Sark Menswear Award — to redesign the Tar Heels' uniforms.
Julian could boast even deeper roots in Chapel Hill than the legendary coach. Alexander's father, Maurice, opened Julian's clothing store on East Franklin Street in 1942, where it remains to this day. Like Maurice, Alexander attended UNC, as did Alexander's oldest daughter.
In spite of that and the various honors he had received for his previous fashion work, Julian had never faced a design challenge quite like modifying the look of his beloved hometown Tar Heels.
"To have Dean Smith call you and ask for new uniforms for the Tar Heels was like having God ask for new halos for the archangels," Julian joked to Home Accents Today. His suggested argyle pattern, he said, was "the weightiest design decision I ever made, because if I screwed it up I could never go home again!"
It wasn't just Smith that Julian had to sell the merits of his design to. The coach, ever the diplomat, involved all of his assistants and his players in the decision. Rather than trying to sell each of them one by one, Julian enlisted the services of someone who could do that naturally.
"Michael [Jordan] was relatively popular at the time," Julian recalled. "This was 1991, and he was in Chicago, on top of the world. I called Michael and asked him to be my sounding board for the designs … Michael liked the argyle best. And guess what? As soon as Michael said that, then the entire team also liked the argyle best."
The program liked it even more when Smith claimed his second national title in 1993, one year after the argyle pattern first appeared. Hoping to duplicate the success of the hoops program, other Tar Heels teams such as wrestling and lacrosse have incorporated the design into their uniforms as well.
Julian himself has taken the reputation he's created with the pattern and run with it. The website of the Chapel Hill story that bears his family's name proudly displays "Julian's" amid a multi-colored argyle background. Now 64, he resides an hour-and-a-half north of New York City in Ridgefield, CT, and is still actively working in fashion.
And contrary to his initial fears, Julian has been able to go home again. Such is his rightful reward for providing North Carolina the best uniforms in college basketball with a look that seems timeless, even though it's barely two decades old.

Spiritual leader Asaram Bapu has suggested that the Delhi gangrape victim was also to blame for the crime and she could have called her assailants brothers and fallen at their feet.
Addressing followers on Sunday evening in Bharatpur, he said: "The truth is that only drunk rapists are not to be blamed. Taali dono haath se bajti hai (it takes two for such things to happen). She should have called them (rapists) brothers and fallen at their feet and might have escaped... If she chanted Saraswati mantra and had taken 'diksha', she would not have boarded the bus."
Asaram also cautioned against strict laws to curb such offences, saying there could be "misuse". "Now the government is talking of strict laws but even that can be harmful. The laws formulated for dowry deaths are now being misused. The new laws that come up for rapes should not be misused too. And if they are misused, then men will be wronged and yet again some mother or sister will be hurt," he said.
Even as the remarks provoked outrage, according to a PTI report, he told his followers in Faridabad on Monday that the incident had unleashed an "anti-men" campaign.
Political parties criticised his statement, with BJP spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad calling the remarks "regrettable, deeply disturbing and painful", considering Asaram is a religious guru "and the country looks up to him". "For him to make the statement in relation to a crime which has shocked the conscience of the country is not only unfortunate but deeply regrettable," he added. The BJP asked Asaram to withdraw his remarks.
Congress spokesperson P C Chacko termed Asaram's remarks as "most unfortunate".
National Commission for Women chairperson Mamata Sharma said, "Asaram Bapu is a 'maha sant' (big spiritual leader) but that does not mean he can say anything. Even if the woman begged and called them brothers, nothing would happen. He must be careful about making such statements."

How to disable fields on the profile page? Currently there are settings that are already effectively disabled through other plugins, but the options are still shown.
The best option would be to disable/enable them in the plugin/module settings. I'd be glad to test a development snapshot with this feature.
In the meanwhile, I'm applying a CSS solution as a workaround that has the downsides of showing the elements in HTML and being a drag to update.

Arthur C. Jones, Ph.D.
Lecturer and Vocalist
Arthur Jones is Founder and Chair Emeritus of The Spirituals Project. He is an accomplished speaker, lecturer and singer who provides interactive, age-appropriate educational and musical presentations on the origins, history, and modern-day use of the spirituals that can be tailored to specific events. He is also available as guest soloist.
Educational Outreach
A priority of The Spirituals Project is outreach especially to children and youth, whose immersion in the spirituals story is central to the Mission of ensuring that "the spirituals are passed on for many generations to come."
Since 1998, we have seen that the music, called spirituals, uplift in times of crisis, heal, comfort and inspire individuals, as well as, when young and old, of all ethnic and economic backgrounds come together in song.
The Spirituals Project Education Programs provide students the opportunity to not only experience the sacred songs but also to learn the history and cultural context of the enslaved Africans in America in the 18th and 19th centuries. This music becomes "community" singing, thus the participants will be joining in with enthusiasm and bonding.
