For those of you who did not know, Seattle is located in Washington state in the USA. Over 3.5 million people live in the Seattle metropolitan area (according to Wikipedia). It's actually the 15th largest city in the country.
Seattle was actually founded in 1869. The area was inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent white settlers arrived. The city was the center of musical attention during the grunge era of the 1990s. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Nirvana hail from this metropolis.
Seattle is definitely on my list of cities that I want to visit one day. Jimi Hendrix is buried here (in case you did not know) – I want to go check out his grave. I also want to check out the infamous Space Needle (which apparently is 184 metres high).
The photo taken by Danny Seidman features City Rays in Seattle over the city's skyline. It has been selected as the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf's Rant for the 10th of September 2012.
Yesterday a photo featuring a Taganga Sunset was the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf's Rant, feel free to check it out.

I am getting a bunch of ridiculously Low commissions on mid to high dollar item sales ...
Item sold for $325 -- .35 cents commission
Item sold for $213 -- .30 cents commission
This has been going on for two months now -- several low commissions on good $ sale items.
Any eBay Affiliate experts know why?
Also, do you know if we get a "cut" of the dollar value end fee or whatever it's called that ebay tacks on to final sale price of an item if it is sold?

I believe that for ebay, the commission is not related to the final amount paid for the item. it is a percent of the ebay fees for that sale. so it depends on whatever ebay earns for that sale. i think it is 40%.
although i agree that the amount ebay earns on a $325 sales should be more that 80 cents or so, thats a little strange

Is this ebay.com or an international ebay site? Some of the european affiliates only pay 25-50 cents for a bid/purchase.
If it's ebay.com, you should get a cut of the listing fee + final value fee, which is easy to calculate (just google "final value fee" or "ebay listing fee" for more info).
My guess is that those auctions were listed under some type of special promotion with reduced fees, so the commission was less. But I think it's a good idea to ask eBay what's going on anyway.

Thanks for replying.
This is ebay.com -- I checked the ebay site for final value fees -- the only sellers not charged final value fees are ebay auto & real estate sellers.
The particular auction that had a winning bid of $325 should have paid $10.73 final value fee with my half at $5.36.
I have emailed ebay affiliate support -- hopefully I will get an answer.
Thanks again.

But I just got an email from eBay about miscalculation of some commissions in October, so I'm glad that someone noticed and inquired about it

In this four-part web strategy series, we'll look at smart and easy ways to organize your digital life
It's a law of nature: junk expands to fill the space available. And then it slops over in an attempt to bury us alive.
Technology is not immune to the disorder. Whether it's an inbox crammed with unread messages, a muddled filing system or a computer that's slowing by the day, electronic clutter can be every bit as big a productivity killer as its physical counterpart.
First up, the contact database. Every business needs to keep track of its contacts, be they customers, suppliers, colleagues, competitors or prospects. And chances are that list is in a number of locations: stored in one or more databases or spreadsheets, written on scraps of paper, sticky notes and napkins, and on piles of business cards tucked into a bottom drawer.
If organizing contacts can save 10 minutes a day, says professional organizer Deanne Kelleher, owner of the Toronto-based kAos Group, a person can save 41 hours a year. That's over a week in lost productivity regained!
If we calculate what it might mean in dollars, consider the following scenarios:
If you make:
- $25/hour, the 41 hours saved equals $1025
- $50/hour, would equal $2050 or at
- $100/hour, it would equal $4100.
That's a nice chunk of change.
But where to start? The first thing to do, says Ms. Kelleher, is to gather all of those bits and pieces into one place and pick one database to store them. It might be Microsoft Outlook, or Gmail, or a customer relationship management (CRM) program. Whichever you decide, it needs to be able to store not only basic contact information, but also different categories for each contact.
Those categories tell you what role or roles each contact has in your life. You may think you'll remember, but you won't over time. Categories also make it easy to search for groups of people such as suppliers or prospects.
In addition to this list, she says, you may also have a mailing list for your corporate newsletter or marketing campaigns, and for that you also need to be sure you have each contact's permission.
"Every contact in the database is valuable," Ms. Kelleher says. "Businesses can die on a database alone."
Now comes the tedious part. Whether you do it yourself, or have an administration assistant or intern do the work, all of the non-electronic contacts have to be entered into your chosen database, and those already filed in other software have to be exported from their current homes and imported into the new database. Ms. Kelleher recommends software such as DYMO's CardScan to clients who are starting with mountains of business cards. It not only scans the cards, it interprets them and puts information into the correct fields in many contact management programs.
You don't have to do it all at once. Allocating even fifteen minutes per day will get the job done, as long as you don't let yourself get distracted. Ms. Kelleher recommends you keep a piece of paper beside the computer to make notes of action items that occur to you when you enter a name.
Tackling the project sporadically can lead to inconsistency, as can having multiple people enter information. To make sure the right data is entered into the right places every time, Ms. Kelleher suggests writing up a cheat sheet defining what information should be entered, and which fields it should land in, and giving it to anyone who may work on the database. She also recommends that everyone in the company use the same set of categories, and enter the same primary notes (when and where the initial contact was made, for example).
Another invaluable source of contacts to harvest can be found in our social networks. Dan Schawbel, Managing Partner of Millennial Branding, suggests, in his Mashable blog that there's another invaluable source of contacts to be that one should include contacts from Twitter, Facebook and Linked in that central contact database.
The next task in the organization binge is to weed out duplicates. Some software will flag them for you automatically, and even merge the data, but sometimes it will come down to wading through the list by eye.
The good news is, once the database is whipped into shape, it's much easier to keep it in good condition. It just needs a system.
"When you don't have a strong system," says Ms. Kelleher, "getting organized is not as easy. People who call me have a deep sense of how to be organized, but things have gotten away from them. It's called life."
The system doesn't need to be complicated. When a new contact e-mails her, for example, Ms. Kelleher uses Microsoft Outlook's ability to create contact records from e-mails to add the person to her database, save the initial e-mail in that record (which also provides the date of first contact) and assigns categories. From there, she can create tasks for herself or others if follow-up is needed, enter further notes, and generally track interactions with the person.
When she meets someone at a networking event, she makes sure their contact entry includes the name and date of the event, which makes it much easier to retrieve when all you can remember is "that architect I met at the xyz meeting last month."
Above all, she says, "It's about creating a system that works for you."

The series on organizing your digital life continues next Thursday. Other Stories can be found on the Web Strategy section of the Your Business website.

Kind-hearted Chorley Community Housing (CCH) residents have baked up a storm for charity.
A total of £132 has been raised for Macmillan Cancer Support by residents of Ryefield in Heapey, who recently held two garden parties
Residents at the sheltered scheme baked their own goodies for the parties as well as enjoying a tombola and a raffle. All residents were invited to the parties and many attended along with their children and grand children.
Samantha Hornsby, neighbourhood development officer at CCH said: "I attended one of the parties and it was wonderful to see the residents coming together and enjoying themselves whilst raising money for a good cause".
The Ryefield residents are now able to hold many outdoor events following several successful funding bids to CCH's neighbourhood fund. With cash boosts, they have been able to fund outdoor furniture and a flagged patio area.
CCH have also supported the residents by purchasing some of the food for the recent parties.
Josie Snape, resident at Ryefield said: "We work really hard here at Ryefield to raise funds for our group and charities and really enjoy holding events like this and being able to come together as part of the Ryefield family."

Maybe not so invincible after all
Mark Grayson has been run through the wringer more than enough times these last couple of months, so it's about time the team of Kirkman and Walker gave Invincible a break as the duo kick off the next big Invincible event – Viltrumite War!
The last time we saw Mark Grayson's father, he and Allen had been captured, and were being held prisoner. As this issue kicks off, we find the two have escaped and have been using this time to have a real heart to heart. Over the duration of this series, Kirkman has slowly revealed bits and pieces of the Viltrumite history. Some of it has been outright lies, some of it appears to be truth, but the revelation made in this issue is a real jaw dropper – only 50 pure blood Viltrumites are alive in the universe.
Omni-Man reveals that a virus was created by those who wanted to bring the Viltrumites down, and it worked like a charm, almost wiping out the entire race. Those it did not kill, were temporarily weakened, leaving them susceptible to major damage. This completely explains why Conquest looked so ragged when he and Mark were going at it.
Omni-Man agrees to go to Allen's homeworld and report to the Coalition of Planets that he's willing to join their side to bring down the remaining Viltrumites. It's then revealed why Earth is such a prime target for the Viltrumites, and believe me, all the revelations made in this book are game changers. Allen and Omni-Man then proceed to track down all the weapons and resources that can take a Viltrumite down, and it leads the two to an old Omni-Man foe.
While this is a build up to the next big smash-bang battle, the information revealed in this issue, is a huge, and had my jaw on the floor. While seeing Mark grow and change, and begin to figure out what direction he wants to go in his life, the return of his father, and the revelations made, are really going to mess him up big time down the road.
I was certainly worried that Robert Kirkman was going to figure out a way to stall the story following the return of Atom Eve, but instead he cranks it up another notch, and keeps the action going. And I think this is why I like this series so much; Kirkman continues to tell a compelling and interesting story that has only dragged one or two times over the course of its 66 issue run. There are few writers who have stuck with a series for this long, and I'm hoping before it is said and done, Kirkman is able to break all standing records for writing continuously in a single series.
While I am really digging what happens in this issue, it did take me a few moments to reorient myself to what was going on, as Kirkman drops the reader right in the middle of the action, with no reminder what went on before.
Cory Walker has been away from Invincible for such a long time, that I'm still getting used to his art. Originally, it was one of the biggest draws to the series. When Ryan Ottley took over, I was saddened to see Walker go, and now that he's back I've become torn. I really like Ottley and Walker's work, but the two can never do the art for the same issue – or can they? Walker's pencils are stellar here, and I can't wait to see what kind of bloody action he'll bring to picture when the Viltrumite war gets underway.
The Good
- Gun in the sofa
- There's a traitor somewhere
- More than one Viltrumite has turned against their own race
- Revelations about the virus
- Alien love
- Space Racer can live for a long time without food
The Bad
- A bit of a rough start getting into the story
- This issue could have been longer
- Why do Allen's recent actions bother me so?
If you are having a really horrible day, and when you're alone and life is making you lonely, don't go downtown, instead pick up a copy of Invincible #66. The revelations made, the way the action plays out on the page, and Kirkman's tight writing, once again earns Invincible #66 4.5 out of 5 Stars.
9 Comments
Allen bothered me a bit in this issue as well. I hope the Viltrumites didn't do anything to him while in captivity. I think Kirkman is a better writer than to make Allen a sleeper agent. Time will tell, and at any rate, I am excited to see what happens next.
I got on this series from reading it in barnes and noble and i was shocked at how good this book is can wait to read more now that im up to date with this recent issue and great review.
Now we know how conquest aka doomsday got that way with his arm .
Dude! Santaviltrumite was revealed a looong time ago. Also if I'm not mistaken we do witness Allen and Nolan escape. BTW I'm not pointing all of this out to be douchey, stuff like this can easily be forgotten I'm just making sure you don't have holes in your collection :) (Its just too good a series to miss issues of)
Who colored this issue? It doesn't look like FCO's usual work if that is him.
I've never been huge on walker's art since I find his proportions to be a bit odd at time's and, to be frank, I've always found Ottley to be a superior artist to him anyway, right from when he took over the book. Still, I can really appreciate the novelty of having him back for two issues and it's nice to see his marked improvements.
Oh, and as a quick aside, the virus also clears up that illness that was mentioned in issue 54 saying that Mark will at some point become infected with it.
(Dramatic Music is playing right now)
I like Allens new uniform but whats with Omni-mans capri pants and bare feet?
So those delicious little treats that Allen is eating are they there as a Hansel & Gretel type trail or ! are they gonna like crash land on earth and be evil things

Debunking the Myth of the Sugar High
Sugar is certainly not the most nutritious food around, but a recent study says it's also gotten an undeserved bad rap.
Chances are, most of us can remember Mom warning us not to eat too much candy or other sweets, or else we'd get hyperactive, start bouncing off the walls and generally act wild from all that sugar. It turns out that, at least this once, Mom was mistaken. Dr. Richard Surwit, chief of medical psychology at Duke University Medical Center, studied sugar's effects on volunteers in a weight-loss program. Not only did subjects lose equal weight on calorie-controlled high-sugar and no-sugar diets, he found no negative side effects.
"Nobody reported any behavioral problems, any mood swings, any anxiety, any hyper-kinetic kind of behavior."
In fact, Surwit says, the notorious"sugar high" probably comes from treats containing stimulants such as the caffeine in chocolate. And where did this myth come from? Surwit says it originated during World War II, when sugar was in short supply and the government wanted to reduce consumption.
"In order to keep people from eating it, they spread this as part of their propaganda. Then, after the war was over, it just stuck."
For MedMinute, I'm Cabell Smith.

The Aswang are vampire-like creatures who feast on human flesh in the 2013 Philippine TV Series Juan Dela Cruz. They are the enemy of the Tagabantay and the Kapatiran. There Appearance The Aswang appears like ordinary humans but they can transform into purple-skinned hairy beast. They have superhuman strength, extremly fast and agile. They can also see in the dark and can jump at high heights. Their diet consists of human flesh.
In the human society
Through the guidance of their Haring Aswang, they have infiltrated almost all sectors of the human society, with the church as one the exception. Aswangs either carry or wear some sort of mystical black-gemmed jewelry to avoid detection by the Tagabantay. Their untransformed appearance also helped them blend in the human society. They get their food from the hospitals and funeral centers owned by their leader which lessened incidents of aswangs killing live humans for food. However with the shielding of Juan Dela Cruz, the Tagabantay by their own leader, increased these kind of incidents again so that the aswangs can feed their own families.
They worshipped the goddess Saragnayan who promised the Aswangs victory, prosperity and dominance over the humans through the Anak ng Dilim.
- They are based on the mythical monsters of the same name in Filipino folklore and mythology.

The New England Patriots do not plan on cutting second-year cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, a league source told the Boston Globe.
Dennard earned a deferred 30-day jail sentence last year after he punched an officer investigating a fight outside a bar in Lincoln, Neb., and then was arrested last Thursday on suspicion of drunken driving.
Dennard will be in court July 31, five days after the Patriots begin training camp, to learn if his recent arrest could land him in jail on a probation violation.
From the Globe:
But despite the two arrests, and despite the negative publicity generated recently by the Aaron Hernandez situation, the Patriots do not plan on cutting Dennard, a league source told the Globe.
The team is, however, prepared for Dennard to be suspended by the NFL under the player conduct policy. As a reference point, Lions cornerback Aaron Berry was suspended for three games in 2012 after getting arrested twice in the offseason. An NFL spokesman said only that Dennard's case is "under review."
The Patriots issued a statement Thursday following Dennard's suspicion of DUI arrest: "The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennard's arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident."
Dennard started seven game last season as a rookie, finishing the season with 35 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble and a touchdown. Dennard is expected to start opposite Aqib Talib this season.

The Take A Soldier Fishing Tournament, Bass Brawl 2011 was held this past Saturday, July 9th at Millstone Landing on the Savannah River in Hardeeville. The event this year included female soldiers for the first time but most unique was the fact that all the other participating soldiers were Wounded Warriors. What an honor it was to be among these men and women and be allowed to serve them in making their fishing experience a good one.
This event is a yearlong preparation handled by Bubba and Byron Stephens of Bass Anglers Plus. This year was extremely tough in several ways but they did an extremely wonderful job pulling everything together to make this a good experience for some very deserving soldiers. You guys are great!
The Hardeeville Marine Rescue Squadron volunteered again this year to feed the soldiers and their families, the anglers, sponsors and supporters the post event meal free of charge. But we could not have done this without the support of very kind and generous people within our community.
We want to thank Mayor Bronco Bostick for the support you gave attending the early morning "blast off" and being there for the weigh in. The city of Hardeeville public works department did a fantastic job of getting Millstone Landing looking beautiful for the tournament. We are grateful to HDTV for the advertisement and coverage of the event. Thank you to the Hardeeville and Sun City Lions Club volunteers who worked the serving line in our dining room. We would like to extend our gratitude to Citgo Gas and Fireworks of Hardeeville, Harveys Supermarket in Ridgeland, Palmetto Truck and Auto Services, Willock Horton, Dr. Karen Meeks of Meeks Dental, Cripple Crab Restaurant, O.C. Welch Ford, KFC of Ridgeland, Linda and Dexter Nease and a Christian Motorcycle club out of Statesboro which happened upon the event and made a donation.
Without the support of our families none of this would be possible.
The greatest "thank you" goes to all our active duty armed forces personnel and military veterans for defending our freedoms with your lives.
May God bless you all.

Before starting at Erasmus University in March 2013, Jacco worked as a researcher and lecturer with the Media and Culture Studies department and the Utrecht School of Governance (both Utrecht University) on these topics (2011-2013). From 2002 until 2007, he worked as a researcher at the Mulier Institute, a Dutch centre for social science research in sports.
For the past years, Jacco van Sterkenburg's research focused in particular on the following topics:
- race/ethnicity and gender in mediated football in an internationally comparative perspective;
- media, migration and diversity in a Dutch and European perspective;
- cultural racism, migration and whiteness in society at large and in football in particular;
- Diversity in sport, football governance and football management
- the Paralympics on television.
Jacco's research has gained recognition inside and outside academia. This is evident from academic awards such as a Research Excellence Initiative grant (REI, as a co-applicant) (2015/16), the EUR Fellowship Grant (2015), the Erasmus Research Prize (2014), a Revalidatiefonds grant (2012), UEFA and FIFA scholarships (2012; 2010) and visiting faculty visits abroad (Leeds, Copenhagen, London).
Van Sterkenburg has published a variety of books, book chapters, and articles in peer-refereed journals such as Media Culture & Society, Journal of Sport and Social Issues, International Review for the Sociology of Sport, Soccer & Society and Journal of Multicultural Discourses. He has (co-)edited books and journals in his area of interest and participated in advisory committees, popular fora, debates, and TV programs.
Teaching and management
Jacco's teaching focuses on intercultural communication, media and diversity, audience reception research and theory, politics of representation, sociology of sport, and qualitative research methods. Currently, Jacco van Sterkenburg is also a Visiting Research Fellow at Mulier Institute, a member of Young Erasmus, he serves as an editorial board member for several international journals and is one of the twelve Advisory Board Members of the International Sociology of Sport Association (ISSA) (2016-19).

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Organizers of the 2010 Winter Olympics asked a Canadian court on Friday to dismiss a lawsuit over the lack of a women's ski jumping event at the Games, and said that international Olympic officials are not bound by Canada's Charter of Rights.
The Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) said the lawsuit, filed by a group of U.S. and European female ski jumpers, is also aimed at the wrong target, because the local committee officials do not control what sports are included in the Games.
"The plaintiffs have sued the wrong defendant," VANOC said in a statement of defense filed with the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver.
The women went to court this month saying they were being discriminated against because the Olympic Games allows male ski jumpers to compete but there is no corresponding competition for female athletes.
Ski jumping has been an Olympic sport since 1924, and is one of the few to not have both a men's and women's competition.
The women sued VANOC on the grounds that, because it was responsible for pursuing a public policy of promoting the 2010 Games, it was bound by Canada's constitutional guarantees of equal rights, just like any other government entity.
VANOC, which has representatives of the federal and provincial governments on its board of directors, along with Olympic officials, said it is not part of the government and any decision about which events are held in 2010 are not considered public policy.
The local officials said their only job was to make sure the facilities are ready and to host the Games, but they follow the orders of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on what competitions will be held.
"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has no application to the IOC, which is not a Canadian entity," VANOC said in the two-page court filing.
The IOC has refused to allow women's ski jumping as an Olympic sport on the grounds there are not enough women competing on an international level, and that including the event would "dilute" the value of all Olympic medals.
The women say opponents are just being sexist and there are more female ski jumpers than women competing in other Olympic sports, such as women's ski cross, which will make its debut at the 2010 Games.
VANOC says in the court document it is trying to encourage the development of women's ski jumping by allowing both male and female athletes to train at the recently completed jump site to be used in the Games.

Just in time for upcoming Halloween is one online retailer's questionable 'scary' outfit, Cecil the Lion Killer costume complete with severed head and dentist smock, along with with fake blood splatters.
The costume as sold by costumeish.com and retailing for $59.99 and available online since Tuesday midnight reports TMZ hasn't necessarily gone down too well with animal lovers. This despite the retailer's CEO, Jonathan Weeks telling that they were inundated with requests for the Halloween look.
Interestingly since going live, Weeks has conceded that not one outfit has yet to be sold, but that hasn't stopped the CEO telling that he will be donating 15% of proceeds to the African Wildlife Foundation's Justice for Cecil fundraiser, which to date has raised more than $68K.
Reads the costume's description: 'All Doctor Palmer wanted was to hang dead animals in his house, but what started as an obscure (if legally-dubious) hunting trip has since erupted into a brouhaha of trans-Atlantic proportions,'
'2015's most controversial killing has laid bare the rift in American and Zimbabwean attitudes toward exotic game hunting and animal conservation pitting an outraged mob against a Minnesotan dentist in a scandal sure to be remembered for a generation.
'Our Lion Killer Dentist Costume features a severed lion's head mask, bloody smock, and bloody gloves for a gruesome, complete look.'
What do you think? Has one outlet gone too far in offering the wares in the face of the condemnation, Minnesota dentist/hunter Walter Palmer has received since the illegal hunt or is one retailer simply exercising its right to commerce and the hope that buyers come forward? So will you ….?

Bookvario is one of the first successful projects of its kind in
Russia – since 2009 we have been fondly creating educational
applications for the little ones.
Bookvario includes two types of exercises:
1. To learn and remember letters.
A child scrolls cards, every card contains the images and sounds of a
letter and a related picture or photo. Cards can be mixed to provide
better memorizing, and sound can be switched off. Apart you can record
your voice to add sound to the cards, so with that your kid can hear
an own parent's voice instead of someone's else.
2. To improve memory skills and focus.
A child sees a set of cards turned upside-down. The task is to find
pairs with the same images, only two cards may be opened once. When a
pair is found, the description of the card is pronounced and both
cards stay opened. It repeats until all the pairs are found. You may
control the level of the task with a number of cards, from 8 to 30.
With affection we permanently work on our applications to make them
better. And we are always looking forward to hearing your ideas and/or

Did large-area TFT LCD revenues hit bottom in February?
The large area TFT LCD industry is going through the darkest period in several years, as measured by monthly revenues. Data from the most recent Monthly TFT LCD Shipment Database indicates that February large area (9 inches and larger) TFT LCD revenues fell below $5B for the first time in over three years, declining 3% M/M and 13% Y/Y.
Source: Monthly TFT LCD Shipment Database
There are several factors impacting the large area TFT LCD industry at this time. First, there is a seasonal element constraining monthly shipments. February is the time many manufacturing sites in China close for Chinese New Year, and the time off reduced production and shipments. More concerning is the decline in monitor and notebook PC panel demand, which have been ongoing. At the same time, tablet PC panel shipment and pricing are under pressure due to a slowdown in demand in early 2014. Also, with the market balance shifting to tightness, some panel makers are clearing out inventories, but through discounting, which has a negative impact on revenues.
This leads to a broader issue of panel price decline. Large area TFT LCD panel prices have been falling since 2013. As shown in the figure, panel prices have fallen continuously for the past 12 months and in double digits Y/Y every month since September. This has a direct, negative impact on panel revenues. However, in January and February there was a halt in the rate of decline.
Source: Monthly TFT LCD Shipment Database
Given all this, will things keep getting worse, or was February the bottom of this supply-demand cycle? We are expecting recovery to begin over the next few months. As we recently commented, some LCD TV panels are in shortage. We expect several positive trends over the next several months.
First, panel makers will continue to convert production to new products, such as reducing 32" production and increasing larger sizes such as 40"+ or 65", while increasing production of 4K panels. They will also continue to develop new process technologies for 4K, wide color gamut, curved form factor, and other panels, as well as processes such as copper electrodes for the reduction of line resistance, and techniques for ultra-high aperture ratio such as color filter and black matrix on array (these and other approaches are described in our TFT LCD Process Roadmap Report), and are increasing capacity dedicated to these new processes in order to upgrade product performance and/or reduce costs. Both of these factors will have the effect of constraining panel supply.
Second, the May Labor Holiday in China, as well as increasing demand from emerging countries, will encourage leading brands like Samsung, LGE, and Sony, as well as Chinese brands, to place more panel orders. Chinese brands are stepping into overseas markets with lower cost products, working to increase their brand awareness. This also encourages them to build panel inventories. While there are still existing inventories, changes in product mix and TV brand strategies will encourage more panel orders.
As a result, panel makers will start to ask for price increases, especially on the tight models like 32" or even 40"/42". Some small TV brands will have to accept the panel price increase in order to secure allocations. The panel price increase in Q2'14 will not be big, and probably won't represent an overall rebound, but it will be a sign of recovery for panel makers. So, we can expect large area TFT LCD revenues to start recovering in March.

It's 8:30 pm on a Friday evening, and I'm just about done working, because sometimes that happens. But my week was satisfying and my laundry is clean and the light outside my window is that cool misty grayish brown color that makes me love love love working at home in New York City on a solitary Friday evening. Across the street, some apartment windows are dark, some glow orange, and some eerily blue. The branches of the tree and the iron railings of the porch flanking the house directly next to me tonight seem more vividly defined against the light from my window than usual, their shadows deep and ominous.
It's a Raymond Chandler kind of New York City evening.

Hopefully, this should also allow the hundreds of other codes inside the main code to work, if the same problem occurs. However, I would like to have the opinion of "those who know" if this is the correct way of doing and why with wheezy this change. thanks francesco pietra ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 7:48 PM Subject: /bin/sh linked to dash? To: amd64 Debian <firstname.lastname@example.com> I wonder whether amd64 wheezy links /bin/sh to dash instead of bash. I am getting error "Bad fd number, can't run mopac.h" in a mopac.sh calculation (mopac compiled fortran, in fact a FOR005 file is generated, and not deleted by mopac probably because it was running bad). I am asking that (and thus if a symlink is needed using bash, as in my case) because with the same code (and same calculation) I had no such error with amd64 lenny. I have just copied the whole molecular-mechanics compiled code (which includes mopac among hundreds of other codes) from a lenny machine to a wheezy machine. The reason of the copy is that the molecular-mechanics code can't be compiled with recent gcc/fortran (its loose fortran is not allowed by recent compilers) while the wheezy cuda machine is far faster than the old cpu machine. thanks francesco pietra

Humberside Police To Shut Down Mounted Unit
3:23pm 1st February 2013
Humberside Police is closing down it's mounted unit.
It is not clear at this time what will happen to the six exisiting horses which the force has.
It is expected that one of the horses will retire and the others may be re located to other forces, but this is yet to be confirmed.
Chief Constable Tim Hollis said in a statement:
"It is with an element of sadness that I announce that Humberside Police Mounted Section will be disbanded by 31 March 2014.
The decision reflects directly upon the increasing financial pressures on local police in light of the Government's 20% budget cuts, with that pressure deepening over coming years.
My decision reflects no criticism of the police officers and staff who make up the Section. Their commitment and professionalism is outstanding. Whilst they will inevitably feel disappointed, they can feel rightly proud in the service they have provided over the years.
The fact remains, however, that only a quarter of police forces in England & Wales maintain a mounted capability and the Humberside Section is one of the smallest remaining. At a time of diminishing budgets, we are having to look long and hard at what services we provide and the contribution they make to tackling local priorities.
Whilst we make regular use of mounted patrols, it is simply not justifiable to maintain the Section 365 days of the year when we can buy in mounted officers from neighbouring forces on those few occasions when they are regarded as an operational necessity.
Currently, the Section costs £500k per year to maintain. The closure will therefore generate £2 million savings over four years and this will allow us to maintain front line services elsewhere, which are themselves coming under increasing pressure. Similarly, the proceeds of the eventual sale of the property at Walkington will be made available to the Police & Crime Commissioner in order to allow him to tackle the priorities he has identified on behalf of the public.
I realise, of course, that the public and many officers and police staff, serving and retired, will regret the loss of a Mounted Section which has been an integral part of policing across Humberside for so many years. Personally, I share that sadness but we are in a period when sentiment has come up against austerity and hard decisions must be made.
We will now start the work necessary to wind-down the Section whilst ensuring that essential operational demands for mounted deployments are met. Similarly, we will consider where best to relocate the facilities for police dogs currently based at Walkington."

Jacobson Residence, Edward H. Fickett 1951
Edward Fickett graduated from the University of Southern California in 1937, after which he continued his education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning graduate degrees in three disciplines: city planning, architecture and engineering. After serving with the U.S. Naval Construction Batallion (Seabees) during WWII, he returned home to Los Angeles with the mission of 'building a home for every returning g.i.'Although he built homes for the rich and famous (his list of clients included Jack Benny, Charlie Chaplin, Dick Clark, Joan Crawford, Irene Dunne, Jimmy Durante, Groucho Marks and former L.A. Rams owner Georgia Frontiere), his great contribution was making modern home design accessible and affordable for a larger population.
The Jacobson Residence, located at 2313 Moreno Drive in Silver Lake is an excellent example of his work. It has been lovingly restored by its current owner, artist Michael Giaimo. The house is situated on a street-to-street lot, with the house set at an oblique angle across the lot, to take advantage of the magnificent city lights view to the southwest. Giamimo, the artist-in-residence, has taken Fickett's design and brought it to the 21st Century while retaining a 1950's ambiance. An exquisite collection of mid-century furnishings and Michael's art bring drama and perfectly compliment the architecture.
Patrons of the Committee to Save Silver Lake's Reservoirs (CSSLR) 'Silver Lake Modernism- Then & Now' will get a rare opportunity to see this exquisite home as part of the tour coming up on September 30, 2006.

Executive Summary
New York and the tri-state region urgently need a new Penn Station and a new Madison Square Garden.
Penn Station is our region's gateway. Hundreds of thousands of people pass through the station every day. The station, which replaced the original 1910 McKim, Mead and White Beaux Arts-style building,is severely overcrowded. Built to handle 200,000 travelers, the station now serves some half a million. As public transit use and our region's population expand, even more people will be crammed into the station's jammed corridors and stairwells.
Our region now has an opportunity to envision an improved civic experience and create a holistic plan for Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Midtown and the greater Northeastern region.
- Penn Station is the critical infrastructure project of our time. Rather than a single building, a 21st-century Penn Station is a network of connected pieces. Moynihan Station is currently underway,and Amtrak has begun planning efforts on the Gateway project, which will expand Penn Station to the south. These investments should be coordinated in order to create an inclusive redevelopment strategy and maximize transit connectivity.
- Much of the West Midtown district is significantly underdeveloped. Few of the area's outdated office, retail and hotels contribute to New York City's ability to retain its prominence and competitive position as a global business center. The Penn Station office district has the lowest overall rental rate of any of the Midtown submarkets. A new station would have dramatic impact by improving the quality of the surrounding district.
- Ensuring the station's viability is crucial, not only as part of planning for projected growth,but is also essential to the health and vitality of the city and region. Investing now will help keep New York competitive and ultimately create a better environment in which to work and live.
- Building a new Penn Station has broad public support in New York. According to the 2013 MAS Survey on Livability, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, and conducted by the Marist Poll, 74% of New Yorkers say it should be a "top priority" or "an important consideration" for the next administration.
- This report is the first in series that RPA and MAS will be issuing, investigating the economic, transportation and planning issues around Penn Station.

Two people were killed on Sunday afternoon when a small plane crashed near Rock Creek, just off Interstate 90, east of Missoula.
More plane information turned up on Thursday after National Transportation Safety Board investigators arrived in Missoula following a fatal plane crash at Missoula International Airport.
Authorities are looking to a passenger bus' black box to learn more about what caused it to crash on an icy Montana highway.
In response to the National Transportation Safety Board-proposed ban on cellphones while driving, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers tried to defend hands-free devices.
Studies about the dangers of using a cell device while driving have produced mixed results — some say talking or texting behind the wheel can increase the odds of a crash exponentially, while others say the perils are few.
Regardless, the National Transportation Safety Board is so convinced of the dangers of "distracted driving" that it's now called for a nationwide ban on non-emergency cell phone use while driving. Even hands-free devices are not excluded.
Flathead County officials say two people escaped serious injury when a small airplane crashed shortly after takeoff from an airstrip at West Glacier.
The sheriff's department reports the plane was having engine trouble right after liftoff and the pilot was not able to turn around and land at the airstrip. The plane's engine sputtered and powered off as the plane came down at about 10 a.m. Sunday.
Blaine County officials say a single-engine crop dusting plane crashed about 50 yards from a north-central Montana farmhouse, killing the pilot.
County Commissioner Vic Miller says the plane crashed at about 5:15 a.m. Tuesday between Turner and Hogeland.

Well, moustache or not, this clumsy pig only knows how to crash into everything and it's up to you to fly him around in his jetpack for as long as you can. Why need a helicopter when you can have a state-of-the-art jetpack propeller that can handle your stuff? Yes, he's fearless and brave, swinging by some tasty donuts without eating them (he's not greedy), threatening to knock him off his jetpack, but that doesn't really make him of any use without a clever remote player behind the wheels, making him score more and more points.
Repeat, retry and try to fly!
Crack it up and hit the sky!
Find this game hard? Well don't you cry now, cause nobody said it would be easy, but you should have in mind that everytime you'll feel like quitting, your friends will work their way onto outscoring you, so don't give up that easily and show them what you've got!
How to play:
- when the game starts, try and pay attention to the background. It might be trying to tell you something!
- if you still haven't figured it out by now, just tap the screen to get things moving.
The rest should pretty much be obvious, but just to make sure, try not to crash into anything! It's bad for business and your reputation in general. And don't feel down on yourself if it seems hard at first. Practice for a while and you'll see just how easy you'll start gathering more points with this bad piggy, making all those around you jealous and frustrated (feels good now, huh?).
So, without further ado, there you go: Clumsy Pig! For those of you who think you can stop a silly piglet from crashing into just about anything he encounters in his way. And don't forget, the key to success can be summed up in 3 very special words: practice, repeat, retry! ... and don't cry ... please.

Tenkei Wakumon chukai [trans.: Questions and Answers on Astronomy]
21 double-page and three full-page woodcut astronomical illus. & maps (three with volvelles). 68; 40; 45 folding leaves. Three vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers, orig. block printed title label on each upper cover, new stitching. Tokyo: Suharaya, [1750]. First edition in Japanese, translated, revised, and with additional commentary by Irie Osamu (1699-1773), of this important astronomical and geographical text which exercised a profound influence on Japanese astronomy and geography. There was an extremely rare edition printed in China - no copy seems to have survived in its native country - in 1672 (or 1675). The first edition to be printed in Japan, in 1730, was issued in four volumes of which the first three were in Chinese and the supplementary fourth was in Japanese. This edition contains several new maps and there are, for the first time, three volvelles (two with two moving parts and the third with three moving parts). "Irie reprinted the eight original maps and printed revisions of all except the star map of the region of constant invisibility. If the original illustration or explanation was incorrect, he showed a corrected one (or one he thought was correct), basing his revisions on Shibukawa's Tenmon seisho zu."-Miyajima, p. 591. "The Tianjing huowen, brought to Japan about 1672-79, combined ancient Chinese theories, the theories of the natural philosopher Zhu Xi (1130-1200), and the recent philosophical opinions of Fang Yizhi (1611-71) with knowledge that had been obtained from the Jesuits. Although the Tianjing huowen did not receive much attention in China, it was widely available in Japan and inspired many explanatory and critical books, especially after Nishikawa Masayasu (1693-1756) published the first Japanese version in 1730. Of particular importance was its illustration of the stars around the South Pole, which had not been shown on previous celestial maps; the book therefore provided the Japanese with their first knowledge of such stars."--Miyajima, "Japanese Celestial Cartography before the Meiji Period" in History of Cartography, Vol. 2, No. 2, p. 585. This treatise was allowed to be imported into Japan and printed by the censors "because of its purely astronomical nature. Although it is in effect a treatise on Western astronomy, it contains no elements of Christianity. During the Tokugawa period everyone with an interest in astronomy read it."-Nakayama, A History of Japanese Astronomy, p. 101 (& see pp. 101-04). "The Chinese text most influential in Japan was the T'ien-ching huo-wen…authored by Yu I, who studied under the prominent scholar Hsiung Ming-yü, a close friend of the Portuguese Jesuit Manoel Dias (1574-1648)…The T'ien-ching huo-wen was brought to Japan after its first printing in China and was already widely known before the first Japanese reprint appeared in 1730…Very popular among Japanese intellectuals, it was reprinted many times with commentaries and was viewed as a classic in astronomy - partly because of the scarcity of such works."-Sugimoto & Swain, Science & Culture in Traditional Japan, p. 261. Harumi Shibukawa (1639-1715), "one of the greatest astronomers to have lived in Japan" (Miyajima, p. 588), based his knowledge of Western astronomy entirely on the Chinese edition of the present text; he was "especially impressed by its clear explanation, using a geometrical model, of eclipses, which he had never found in Chinese calendrical writings."-D.S.B., XII, p. 404. Tienjing Huowen is partly based on the work of the Jesuit scholars in China, members of the Jesuit missions sent from Rome from the sixteenth century onwards. Matteo Ricci and Ferdinand Verbiest were the most notable of these missionary-scientists who brought western knowledge of astronomy and other disciplines to China. The identification of the South Polar stars, particularly the South Star (sigma Octanis), barely visible to the naked eye and sitting directly overhead the Earth's South Pole, is important. Knowing its location is the key to understanding the workings of all the stars of the Southern Hemisphere since it is the South Star that these stars circle every night. This information is crucial for navigation and map-making. The geographical maps are of particular interest: four separate maps form a double-hemisphere world map, including a southern hemisphere with a very distinctively shaped Australia joined to a southern continent. The celestial and world maps here are entirely based on the work of Ricci and Verbiest. A very fine and fresh set, preserved in a box. ? D.S.B., XV, p. 733.

The Jamaat factor in Bangladesh politics: Jyoti Rehman
Extremism in Pakistan and India: The Case of The Jamaat-e-Islami and shiv sena
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the JI advanced its aim of declaring Pakistan an Islamic state with a religiously-endorsed constitution. There is a popular misconception that Maududi and his JI were against the creation of Pakistan: actually, he was in favour of a separate homeland for Muslims, but objected strongly to Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League's vision and plan of action for Pakistan.
While the JI projects itself as a pan-Islamic movement rather than a political party, this has not stopped it from taking part in most of the general elections in Pakistan, irrespective of not being able to garner a significant vote share. On most occasions, the party takes antagonistic positions on certain issues, such as human rights in general and women's rights in particular, in comparison to most other parties. The JI, while being in disagreement with popular Western ideals of democracy, goes on to take part in elections and the practice they consider as a means to obtaining people's support to get into the circles of power in Pakistan.
The JI demands change not only in Pakistan but also in the entire Muslim world, which is to unite and rise again. Even the JI's founder, Sayyid Abul Aala Maududi, presented this ideal with examples of the fall of Muslim empires in Spain and in the Indian subcontinent. The JI's founder wanted the party to always follow a peaceful path and to practice non-violent activism for achieving desired goals. However, the non-violent path was not followed for long, as in the 1980s the JI drifted towards the Pakistani military's agenda of exploiting jihad (holy war) to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan. That was the time when their ideology got tainted by fundamentalism, with demands for sacrifices in the name of the religion of Islam.
With slogans of people's power, human rights, poverty alleviation, security of people and communities, etc. the right-wing extremists in Pakistan still openly practice means such as subversion and violence to satisfy their demands. If right-wing groups have been advocating human rights, then the scope of the advocacy campaign has been limited to the rights of Muslims or the people belonging to their ethnicity. In the 1950s, the JI and orthodox Sunni Islamists demanded exclusion of Ahmadiyas from Islam. The state was reluctant to make this move, which caused riots followed by attacks on Ahmadiya mosques and members. The JI's nationalism is camouflaged under the party's ideologies and operations. It is somewhat similar to Pervez Musharraf 's famous slogan, 'Sab se pehlay…Pakistan' ('First of all…Pakistan'), but the JI's intention and access is globalized with affiliations with similar pan-Islamic movements in other parts of the world.
Islamic nationalism in Pakistan emerged out of the insecure pre-Partition atmosphere, when the Muslim League had demanded a separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent. The JI, particularly Maududi, was sceptical of the fact that the Muslim League or Congress Party represented the Muslims. The idea of the JI was initially anti-Muslim League and anti-Congress, and in the post-Partition period the party slowly moved from anti-India to anti-West, and currently anti-US as well as against the so-called Jewish lobby. However, over the course of the past six decades, the JI has been practising street power with slogans in resistance to democratic leaders, such as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and in recent times opposing the dictatorship of Musharraf. Overall, the JI was denouncing the secularism of Bhutto and the pro-West 'enlightened moderation' of Musharraf.
The JI labels its rivals as 'traitors', 'CIA agents', 'Indian agents', 'Israeli agents', or simply as 'infidels'. In fact, it seems as if such aggressive remarks help in bringing in more people on the streets to add to the JI's power. A significant portion of the JI's strength comes from the party's students' wings, particularly the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT). The IJT is widespread, authoritative, and violent, and knows nothing but to preach their radical version of Islam and build the JI's strength. Nevertheless, the IJT has been the success behind the street power of the party.
Jamaat's politics of hatemongering, discrimination and violence
ABM Nasir, Ph.D.
In Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami is the reincarnation of the Fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany. Its antipathy like that of Karl Ruegar toward democracy and liberty, its penchant for organised violence similar to those of Black Shirts and Gestapo, and its discriminatory principles against religious minorities like that of Nazis are causes for serious concern. The reasons that should have prohibited Karl Ruegar from participating in the democratic process equally apply to Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh. At least four compelling reasons would justify why Jamaat must be rejected from participating in the democratic process. These reasons are as follows.
First, Jamaat-e-Islami doesn't believe in democracy or any form of godless materialism. The excerpt 'Muslims who form the overwhelming majority will not tolerate secularism, socialism, capitalism or godless materialism' (Abbas Ali Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4) bears testimony to this effect. A political party or any organization which doesn't believe in democracy must be cast out from the democratic process.
Second, Jamaat's view on political participation is discriminatory. Once ascended to political power, Jamaat will not hesitate to restrict or even deny the rights of religious minorities and women, thereby degrading their status to second-class citizens. This fear is rightly justified when one reads the following passage extracted from the article 'An Introduction to the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh'. The passage reads: 'Any sane and adult person can become a Member of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh if he or she accepts the basic creed of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own creed, accepts the aims and objects of the Jamaat-e-Islami as his or her own aims and objects, pledges to fulfil the demands of the constitution of the Jamaat-e-Islami, performs the obligatory duties ordained by Islam' (An Introduction to Jamaat-e-Islami; Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami). Jamaat's creed being the belief in Islam, for any non-Muslim aspiring to hold political office under Jamaat's hegemony must submit to the creed of Jamaat-e-Islami. Such membership criterion is discriminatory, exclusive and unconstitutional. Any form of forced exclusion is anti-democratic. And, by requiring individuals to submit to the belief of any particular religion to be eligible to participate in the political process is against the country's constitution. Therefore, Jamaat is working against the constitution and must not be allowed to participate in the political process.
Third, Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view is anti-democratic and is a threat to the regional peace and stability. Jamaat's ultra-nationalistic view, similar to those of Karl Ruegar, Mussolini and Hitler, is reflected in the statement 'the psychology of the defence forces in Bangladesh must be anti-Indian' (Abbas Ali Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami's views on defence of Bangladesh, p4). Such jingoistic attitude is a serious threat to the regional peace and stability of South Asia.
Fourth, in 1971, Jamaat not only opposed to the creation of Bangladesh, but it collaborated with the Pakistani army in perpetrating one of the worst genocides in the world history. Jamaat's crime against humanity led to the death of three million civilians and **** of more than 200,000 women and destruction of billions of dollars worth of properties. It's leadership including Golam Azam, Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mujahidi, Kamaruzzam, Delawar Hossain Saidi have never been tried in the court of law for committing such a heinous crime. Nor have they ever apologised for their opposition to the creation of Bangladesh. In contrast, they are thriving and constantly resorting to shenanigans to rub their dirty and bloody hands off their complicity in the crime against humanity and treacherous acts against the creation of Bangladesh. On October 28, 2006, the way few hundred armed Jamaat cadres stood up against thousands of angry opposition activists can be reminiscent of the way a few members of the black shirts used to dismantle political rallies during the Fascist rule in Italy. The thousands of rounds of bullets that came out of the guns of Jamaat cadres on that day indicates how ferocious Jamaat's foot soldiers can get, even today, to protect their fervent belief from being strolled or discredited.
All these indicate that hatemongering, discrimination, and violence have always been the principle strategies of Jamaat's politics to rise to political office. A political party whose strategy and politics is based on such principles is anti-democratic and must be rejected.If we are to learn any lessons from the consequences of the Fascist and Nazi rules, then, to protect democracy and liberty, we must stop the recurrence of the same in Bangladesh. We must constantly remind citizens of the country that Bangladesh is born out of the sacrifice of millions. Those who led the bleeding of innocent civilians, raping of women must be tried: we must compel the government to bring the collaborators to justice. The future of liberty, democracy, peace and stability in Bangladesh largely depends on the trial of the perpetrators of the genocide in 1971. We must resist any attempt by the government and/or any interest group to legitimise Jamaat's politics of hatred, violence, and discrimination in our democratic process.

We must resist any attempt by the government and/or any interest group to legitimise Jamaat's politics of hatred, violence, and discrimination in our democratic process. If we fail to resist the Jamaatification of the institutions of the country, Bangladesh will fall into the grip of the forces of darkness of middle age.
The Vanguard of the Islamic Revolution: The Jama'at-i Islami of Pakistan
Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr
The Jama'at is one of the oldest and most influential of the Islamic revivalist movements and the first of its kind to develop an Islamic ideology, a modern revolutionary reading of Islam, and an agenda for social action to realize its vision. It has influenced Islamic revivalism from Morocco to Malaysia and controlled the expression of revivalist thinking in Southwest Asia and South Asia since 1941. There are today eight discrete Jama'at-i Islami parties: in Pakistan, India, India's Kashmir province, Pakistan's Azad Kashmir, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Great Britain, and North America. The party's ideological reach and impact, throughout its history as well as across a vast geographical expanse, far exceed the boundaries of any one political arena or historical period. By mobilizing its resources in India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and England, the party played a central role in orchestrating the protests against Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses in England in 1988-1989, a notable example of its influence. Thanks to the Jama'at, Muslims in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe pitted Islam against the West and laid the foundations for the international crisis that ensued.
Muslim Networks and Movements in Western Europe – Muslim Brotherhood and Jama'at-i Islami
"The Pakistan-based Jama'at-i Islami is one of the most influential Islamic political movements in South Asia – with branches in India and Bangladesh – and among South Asian Muslims around the world. In Europe, the group is particularly strong in the United Kingdom, where more than two-thirds of the Muslim population of about 2.9 million comes from South Asia.
Groups affiliated with the Jama'at-i Islami share much in common with groups that have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and both movements have followed a similar trajectory in terms of their evolution in Europe. The first formal manifestations of the Jama'at-i Islami in Europe date from the 1960s, with the establishment of the UK Islamic Mission and its affiliate, Dawatul Islam. These groups, which still exist today, promote Islamic education with a particular emphasis on Jama'at-i Islami thinkers and perspectives."

Shop bought tomatoes are usually vile. "Vine tomatoes" are even viler because insult is added to injury by being charged double for the same tasteless product with a piece of stalk attached.
The only tomatoes worth eating in this country are those you grow yourself. We are picking ours now and they have a deep intense flavour which I find irresistible and so tomatoes are dominating my eating right now.
Here's my recipe for a simple tomato sauce to go with pasta:
Pick 8 good sized tomatoes. They must be dark red in colour. The redder and squishier the better. When tomatoes are used in a sauce they must be skinned, but nothing could be easier. Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop in the tomatoes, count to ten and remove them. The skins will slip off. Chop up the tomatoes, removing any bits which are green or hard. Then put some olive oil into a frying pan and slowly cook one large chopped onion and one chopped clove of garlic. When they are soft throw in the tomatoes. After a couple of minutes of fairly fierce cooking add a large piece of salted butter . Let it all bubble away while the spaghetti is being cooked. The salt in the butter and the salt in the spaghetti water is all the seasoning you'll need. I always add a knob of butter to the spaghetti after it has been drained. Don't worry if you've run out of parmesan- it doesn't need it.
This dish is simplicity itself, and is the epitome of Slow Food, even though the preparation and cooking time is only a quarter of an hour.
If you don't fancy spaghetti, the sauce is delicious as a topping on thick toast- I think the Italians call it crostini
