Something New - Lulu, Shopify, and Lulu xPress
If money came because I had faith it would, I would be a tillionaire by now. Normally it comes via hard work.
kevinlomas said:
First, officially launching on February 15th, our new book printing engine located at https://xpress.lulu.com.
This does seem to be a standalone site. But does it mean that Lulu now own POD machines? Or is it just an alternative to this site?
The POD will be done entirely through Lulu's existing network.
Lulu xPress is a simplified and much improved form of the traditional Lulu Wizard. Basically, we stripped the process down to the absolute bare bones and started over.
Is that a good idea? The Tools on Lulu are quite basic as it is.
The "stripping down" is more in terms of offering just book creation and printing, without the retail publishing pieces.
This is the first iteration and you'll notice there is no shop or retail distribution.
That's an aspect of this site that many people love.
xPress is, in part, a tool we needed to build our Shopify application. So that replaces the "store" at the moment.
At the moment, the xPress site is still very basic, but it serves as a first look at our new book builder,
I have not looked at it, yet. Can our Lulu log in details be used or does another account have to be opened? But many have been waiting for/ promised, a better book builder here, so why has it not been placed here on Lulu?
At this very moment our IT folks are working on smoothing out the last issues with universal log in. I don't have the exact ETA, but it should be very soon.
along with an improved pricing model that will eventually filter out to Lulu proper, and expanded options - we're up over 3,000 combinations now.
That is amazing. How come you did not develop them here, on Create?
In the long run, the book creator and options on xPress will replace Create. Currently, the restriction on Create are largely due to retail distribution.
That's not even the coolest part!
Later this month, we'll be releasing the first of our eCommerce integrations for Shopify. Other eCommerce options like WooCommerce and the like will follow.
That's sounds interesting, but unlike Amazon, I have never heard of it. How many potential customers know it exists? I have never heard it advertised or mentioned.
Shopify boasts over 1.2 million active users.
What we've got here is a App using the Lulu xPress framework that allows anyone with a Shopify store to create a book, upload their files just like they would on Lulu, and sell direct using our network.
All of this is built with our API for printing - run through our Developer API. We're redesigning our entire book creation system so each piece can function as an independent API, giving authors and entrepreneurs options about how they create and sell their books.
Does this not just sound like Lulu.com is now splitting up in to many sites? And one that even charges for its use. It's Lulu.com that I would have liked to see changes made to.
Yes and no. We're developing plug and play applications for each piece of the original Lulu site. The idea behind this is to make Print-on-Demand and Self-publishing more customizable to each user's needs.
We don't have any services that are "pay to use", as far as I know we'll maintain that and only charge users for printing/shipping/services.
The original Lulu site and all it's current functionality is slated for redesign, but the functionality will be retained.
The xPress site is up and running now, and I'll update this thread later in the month once Shopify is live. For now, I'm happy to answer any questions and will gladly relay any feedback to our developers.
OK, I have just logged in to xPress, and only a PDF can be uploaded for interior files. That will upset some people.
Currently. We're already working on a new tool for converting and running DOCX and RTF files.
On another note, I'm working with our providers for the forums to try to get the option added to the toolbar so we can apply colors to the text.
Papi_Soñoliento Southern Escarpment Hill Country TeacherPaul,
Simply put as the indie publishing business has evolved Lulu is evolving to meet the differing needs of people with varying budgets and abilities as well as skill sets.
One of the main reasons I chose Lulu way back when was the fact I wouldn't be getting nickled and dimed to death.

So is this replacing the current retail distribution "Global" that we have now? That's why I chose this site over Create-space. I can't afford to do the new shopify etc. As Sphinx said I didn't want to get nickle and dime but make as much profit as possible. It seems to getting much more complicated just as we got used the changes here before. I believe you said that the new additions were strictly optional? So we can still just use the usual Lulu site for continued creation and publishing? Or is that what the xpress thing is for to create and then choose what distribution including Global?

Ok I did just try out the xpress. It let me log in with my usual account info. I didn't make it down to the actual cover wizard but see how it is simplified and the Global distribution is included. I do upload pdf's for my paperbacks which I like to do because the convertor messed things up in the past with doc's. Doesn't seem that bad just different but more simple and on one page as you mentioned.

We're adding in eCommerce tools like Shopify as another avenue for authors, not as a replacement to the existing system. The look and feel of the Lulu.com site may change some in the year(s) to come, and we will be updating the book wizard to function better, but the basic uses for Lulu won't be changing.
Edit: I didn't respond to the last question. The Lulu xPress tool is designed so we can allow Shopify users to plug in. The interface for eCommerce stores wouldn't work with the existing Lulu book wizard. Over time, the way xPress is used to create books will inform how we rebuild the Lulu book wizard, but again, I don't see any existing functionality being lost in this process.

Thanks Paul for getting back so quickly. That makes sense. The book wizard was something I've always asked about but nothing ever happened. I've gotten used to it and make it work but would love to see some added features to help those of us that can't use Photoshop yet. I'm working on it though. I'd love to be able to make my covers like Maggie , Ron, and some others here. I remember when Glen was here he'd always say "Patience Grasshopper." He was always right Thanks again Paul for being patient.

It's taken longer than any of us would have preferred. But we are finally making head way.
Most important from our end is that we've developed from the ground up with a structure that we can change much more easily. The existing Lulu is very complex and cumbersome coding - I believe the industry term is spaghetti code - and the new infrastructure should make it easy to adapt and adjust as we learn what users want and need.
Kevin, without faith you can't close your mouth. You need to have faith that you'll be able to open it again
I have never had trouble with either. (I wonder why it always tries to put the emotes at the start of all the text?!)
It would have been nice to see this site improved, as asked for, and as always promised, but rarely happened, rather than all the effort used to create other sites.
There's also the problem (and this also part applies to all the "How do I sell more books?" postings) that unless one can attack the whole of self-publishing full-time, one does not really have the time to take advantage of all these other new options. As I say, it would have been nice to see this site improved.
I would have to agree with Kevin this time. Improving "this" site would be very nice. I've complained about the bugs in the cover wizard forever, crashes, not displaying preview correctly, not able to raise the text box for the title high enough etc. Perhaps even new fonts with some effects etc. This is really the only complaint that I have. The rest of the site is fine once you figure it out. As some of my friends here have figured out, having one book out and expecting to get rich is not going to happen, not on our budget. But I've gone from the one book and getting $5 a month to having more books out and selling over 200 or more and getting a bigger check. Most of that comes from just one book that I happen to get lucky with. So the more different books out the more chances of having 3 or 4 that sell really well. That's my experience so far anyway. I definitely do appreciate the hard work and new additions. Maybe later I can take advantage of them. Something else I'd like to see is a better book reporting page. I'd like to be able to look at the page and see the total of a particular book sold, even over time rather than have it scattered of multiple pages and have to add it up. Not sure if that's possible or not. Just so I could tell which books sold the best that month. Spreadsheets are fine but haven't found a way to get the above to show is there is a way too. Not complaining about anything just a few suggestions maybe.

The general feeling in the building echoes this sentiment. We have spent the last couple years trying to break open the market space with some new tools (I'm sure some of you remember glasstree...).
There was always an understanding that we would come back to fixing Lulu, but it kept getting pushed off. That (should) be changing this year. Lulu xPress is a part of Lulu, the "only to print and order" piece that we need because we have a lot of customers ordering in this way.
But the actually rebuilding of Lulu itself is slated to follow closely behind.
No, what is Grasstree? But Paul, we have heard such promises for years.
I think opening the market is great for those who can afford it. It's a great idea. My only complaint with this site is the cover wizard, which I hear is going to get worked on later. So I'm pretty much fine with everything. I just didn't understand completely what the new additions were but now I do. Hope it works out well for those who can use it. It's a great addition. And just an after thought, I think everyone should thank Paul, he's a doing an outstanding job taking over for Glenn and shows a lot of patience. So thank you!

Well said. And to add: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for ..." and a hope is a reasonable expectation of a positive future event.
Note the "Reasonable." One can't hope that tomorrow a paper-money blizzard will blanket your back yard. That's not reasonable, so it's a wish, not a hope. However, one can hope (reasonably) that there will be enough sales to provide one's daily bread.
My Books:
If the XPress improves the Cover Wizard and allows WYSIWYG views of the cover, that alone will be worth whatever it took to do it. I look forward to trying it on my next publication (currently on hold for some real-life projects).
My Books:
https://xpress.lulu.com uses a new log in, though I strongly suggest using the same email as your existing Lulu account. All of our new products/platforms will use a single sign on, but incorporating that into the existing Lulu framework has proven challenging. We should be able to merge everything into a single log in for all Lulu products before the end of 2018 (I say, somewhat hopeful).
Using xPress just to print is exactly what the site is designed for! We've got an updated pricing structure too, so some products will cost less (color in particular) so it's a great way to get copies at a better price. You should be able to use your print-ready files from Lulu on xPress without any problems.
I followed through to the Print With Distribution option and it brought me back to Lulu! So if one wants distribution using an ISBN one still has to use the Create limitations here? LuluxPress is only a POD printer?
Kevin - you're exactly correct.
Lulu xPress only provides print and ship options, there is no retail attached to that tool currently.
In the long run, the infrastructure of Lulu xPress will be used to update the existing Lulu wizard and will provide a route for distribution.
When will the options be available here? No offence but we have heard many promises over the years, that never happened. To have all those book type options here would improve the site greatly, but the problem will be getting the retailers to allow us to apply ISBNs on all those new options. Not to mention many of the old options here.
I can't speak to a timeline, but I can say the hold up is largely around distribution. Attaching retail distribution services that meet all the different retails requirements and work seamlessly with our existing library of published content is...challenging.
We're working on it.
It is peculiar those retail restrictions exist. Do you have any idea why they do?
My understanding is that it's due to the need for retailers to be able to reliably print and fulfill while hitting our price points/revenue amounts set by the author.
Hrmm, but the Cost is the literal cost is it not? We look at the Cost and just have to shrug.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. There is the print cost set by us and the revenue amount set by the author. The retailer takes those numbers and mashes them into a wholesale cost and then jacks that up to get to retail.
That equation makes for a fairly high retail cost, but it has to hit an equally high retailer take, meaning they (the retailers) want to limit the formats they accept so as to maximize their profits and minimize their costs.
There is no doubt Amazon and Ingram can print all the formats we offer. It's a matter of which ones they are willing to print.
I guess what I mean is that we have no control over the Cost. But that does not stop creators here adding profits so high that you would expect it to put off retailers, but all the same, those retailers still advertise the products and add even more to the retail price (it's not as if they have to buy stock.) So why does that not apply to all the things that can be created here?
Ah I see.
As I mentioned above, it's largely tied to how retailers do business. They decide what they think they can sell/print/ship at a profit based on the requirements we have for our projects (paper/ink/binding). Distribution is a complex task, so the exact reasons for some products being available while others are not my escape me.
What I do know is that retailers have a lot of say over which products they will accept from Lulu and the stated reasons we've received regarding this are those I mentioned above (profitability/cost to produce).
It could be possible that they do not have POD machines that can create ringbinding I suppose. Createspace do not offer it.

Rotation has been key to Braves' fast start
PHILADELPHIA -- Looked upon as a singular moment, Julio Teheran's outing on Wednesday night against the Phillies was the epitome of great pitching. Teheran held the Phillies to three hits in a 1-0 shutout at Citizens Bank Park in a performance that was historical in nature.
Understand that in a year the Phillies are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their ballpark -- one that has been the disdain of many a pitcher, including Braves legend John Smoltz, for being overly hitter friendly -- the 23-year-old Colombian became the first visiting pitcher to throw a shutout at Citizens Bank during the regular season. (The Cards' Chris Carpenter blanked the Phils, 1-0, in Game 5 of the 2011 National League Division Series.)
"He's a competitor," Braves catcher Evan Gattis said of Teheran. "That's his makeup and that's his build. That's him to the core. He's fiery, he's a competitor, he's a winner."
That said, Teheran's effort is just a part of the bigger story this year as to how the Braves have opened the season 10-4. The starting rotation, any one of whom Gattis could have been talking about, has been better than advertised. The Braves have been eagerly awaiting the return of Mike Minor (sore shoulder) and offseason signing Gavin Floyd (Tommy John surgery) to the rotation. Both will make rehab starts on Friday, with Minor projected to return early next week if all goes well.
Entering Thursday's action, the Braves' rotation had a Major League-best 1.62 ERA and was tied for first with a .204 average against. No starter had allowed more than three earned runs.
"You hear about it all the time in those rotations that are three, four, five deep," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. "They challenge each other and want to one up each other. We had it with the Glavines, the Maddux's and the Smoltz' here. You hear conversations with Bobby that you want to keep the competition, and they work off one another."
All of which begs the question, who departs from the rotation when Minor and Floyd return?
It's apparent that David Hale will be the first choice, but when Floyd is ready, the Braves have the type of problem a lot of teams would love to have. Teheran has been dominant, but then so have Alex Wood, Ervin Santana, and Aaron Harang.
Harang, who will start on Friday at Citi Field, signed with the team in late March and is 2-1 with a 0.96 ERA.

Welcome to the new CommScope.com experience. Need help? Get Help
Netflix recently turned 20 years old. As it leaves its teenage years behind, it's fascinating to think of the many ways that this one company changed our relationship with entertainment.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Netflix is the overwhelming disruption that it has already caused. We're now accustomed to breakthrough technologies – the TV, the internet, the smartphone – upending several industries at the same time. Rarely is it, though, that a single company has the same impact.
Starting with its humble beginnings as a movie rental service, Netflix presented a growing and ultimately fatal threat to brick-and-mortal DVD retailers. Unable to compete with Netflix's offering of cost and convenience, the industry receded from main-street.
Change Comes to ISPs
As Netflix's streaming offering evolved, internet service providers – or ISPs – were next in line to see their industry change. Video streaming presented a double-edged sword for ISPs. On the one hand, the primacy of streaming stimulated the demand for faster internet connections. On the other, Over the Top (OTT) video, or IPTV, ballooned the flow and volume of data that service providers had to process.
Unlike DVD retailers, however, service providers were well-positioned to address – and in many cases, benefit from – the rise of streaming. First, they continued their network investments; adding bandwidth and offering faster speeds, and they provided their customers with stream-ready network hardware. These upgrades remain ongoing – with many service providers now rolling out gigabit broadband connections.
Second, many launched streaming services of their own. For instance, AT&T launched DIRECTTV Now while Verizon debuted go90TM. Some, like Liberty Global and Comcast, chose to imbed Netflix into their own service.
Netflix wasn't the sole instigator of this change, of course. Competitors like Amazon Prime and Hulu also deserve some of the credit. But as the most popular service – now with some 104 million subscribers worldwide – Netflix led the charge.
Netflix, the Studio
But the disruption didn't stop there. Rather than stay a virtual conduit for pre-existing content, Netflix diversified into producing its own shows. In 2013, Netflix premiered the riotously successful House of Cards, which was quickly followed by the equally popular Orange is the New Black. Suddenly, Netflix had changed more than just the apparatus of television, it had changed our requirements of entertainment. Instead of watching shows that were serialized linearly over the course of a season, TV viewers wanted to 'binge-watch' and consume as much as entire series in one sitting.
The success and pervasion of the Netflix blueprint has meant that OTT is now table stakes for video content distribution, and almost everyone is in on the act. TV networks have their own streaming services and have shipped much their back-catalogues to the cloud. Even YouTube and Facebook have unveiled their respective live video services. Meanwhile, traditional TV remains a preference for many consumers.
The Next 20 Years
In light of its 20th birthday, we should certainly thank Netflix for the quality, variety and accessibility of content that is now on offer. Of course, it's also important to remember the role that technology has played. Innovations across the networking ecosystem are what ultimately permitted the rise and advancement of OTT content.
As we've already seen, Netflix isn't afraid to try and change our consumption of entertainment. Thinking of the networking technologies just around the corner – Fiber Deep, DOCSIS® 3.1, faster home Wi-Fi® – we can expect Netflix to take advantage of these new possibilities and continue its disruptive streak. It won't be long, I imagine, before Netflix mainstreams immersive VR content or streaming video games and other highly-interactive material.
Given all the innovations and ideas yet to come, we should all look forward to a bright future for streaming and online content.

I'm relatively new at this, so my question may be obvious.
I'm currently using Atahualpa 3.3.2, wen I activate any version of 3.4, my site becomes all messed up. The format is off, I lose graphics and sidebar plugins.
Is there a format file or other files i should be copying into the 3.4 folder that contains the info?
I'm sure I'm forgetting to do something obvious.

The Islamic States of America?
By Daniel Pipes
September 24, 2004
1010 W 105th Street Overland Park, KS 66212
Founded in 1992, the Muslim American Society (MAS) describes itself as "a charitable, religious, social, cultural and educational, not-for-profit … Islamic organization." In 2004, MAS secretary-general Shaker Elsayed said that his organization had been founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood. One of those founders was the Sudanese native and longtime Brotherhood member Mohamad Adam El-Sheikh, who served two stints as Imam of the Islamic Society of Baltimore (from 1983-89 and 1994-2003). During his tenure with ISB, El-Sheikh was also a regional director for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), an organization that was later (in 2004) shut down by the U.S. Treasury Department because of its support for Islamic terrorism. IARA's parent organization, the Islamic African Relief Agency, likewise funneled money to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, Hamas, and other terrorist entities. MAS's mission is to promote "Islam as a total way of life"; to "encourage the participation of Muslims in building a virtuous and moral society"; to "offer a viable Islamic alternative to many of our society's prevailing problems"; to "promote family values in accordance with Islamic teaching"; to "promote the human values that Islam emphasizes: brotherhood, equality, justice, mercy, compassion, and peace"; and to "foster unity among Muslims and Muslim organizations and encourage cooperation and coordination amongst them." MAS identifies the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim Students Association as Muslim organizations that are rooted in the same "Islamic revival movement" as MAS. In May 2005, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross reported in The Weekly Standard that MAS is a U.S. front group for the Muslim Brotherhood -- a claim supported by a September 19, 2004 Chicago Tribune story that stated: "In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members." This Tribune article was later reproduced on the Muslim Brotherhood's English-language website, Ikhwanweb. MAS, like the Muslim Brotherhood, wishes to see the United States governed by sharia, or Islamic law. "The message that all countries should be ruled by Islamic law," writes Gartenstein-Ross, "is echoed throughout MAS's membership curriculum. For example, MAS requires all its adjunct members to read Fathi Yakun's book To Be a Muslim. In that volume, Yakun spells out his expansive agenda: 'Until the nations of the world have functionally Islamic governments, every individual who is careless or lazy in working for Islam is sinful.'"
MAS's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood were confirmed on August 14, 2007, as The Investigative Project on Terrorism reported: "As the terror-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) continued today, FBI agent Lara Burns testified that a phonebook found at the home of Ismail Elbarrasse -- un-indicted co-conspirator and former assistant to HAMAS leader Musa Abu Marzook -- listed the names and numbers of the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in the United States. On the first page of the phonebook under the title 'Members of the Board of Directors' were fifteen names. Among those names are Ahmad Elkadi, Jamal Badawi, and Omar Soubani: the founding incorporators of the Muslim American Society (MAS)." The Investigative Project continued:
"This evidence confirms ... Matthew Levitt's expert testimony that MAS is the representative of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, and is substantiated by a [2004] Chicago Tribune article that outlined the history of MAS.
"Ahmad Elkadi, who told the Chicago Tribune that he was the leader of the Brotherhood in the U.S. from 1984-1994, worked with Mohammed Mahdi Akef, head of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood since 2003, to advocate for the founding of MAS. According to the Tribune report, Akef and Elkadi pushed for more openness for the Muslim Brotherhood through MAS. Akef himself 'says he helped found MAS by lobbying for the change during trips to the U.S.'
"In fact, MAS does not deny its Muslim Brotherhood foundations. In 2004, then-Secretary General of MAS Shaker Elsayed stated to the Tribune that 'Ikhwan [Brotherhood] members founded MAS…' Elsayed even went so far as to admit that about 45 percent of MAS's active members belong to the Brotherhood. Federal officials have confirmed this, noting continued ties between MAS and the Muslim Brotherhood."

Federal officials have confirmed this, noting continued ties between MAS and the Muslim Brotherhood."
MAS is described by Stephen Schwartz, author of The Two Faces of Islam, as "a major component" of the "Wahhabi Lobby" that channels money from and advances the policies of Muslim-fundamentalist Saudi Arabia. MAS publishes The American Muslim magazine. In a July 2003 article titled "Reaching the Roots of Terrorism," author Omer bin Abdullah blames America's "forceful" foreign policy for having provoked the 9/11 attacks. "Terrorism enables the weak to confront the strong," he writes, "and thus has an enduring appeal to those who are dissatisfied with the status quo. … Its causes usually can be traced to political oppression, cultural domination, economic exploitation, ethnic discrimination, and religious persecution. … The U.S. has placed itself in a corner: It insists that other governments stop, prevent, and even help it to fight terrorism, and yet arms such practitioners of state terrorism as Tel Aviv. Today, terrorism refers to those whom the U.S. dislikes, especially Muslims." In 2002 Randall Royer was the Communications Director of MAS. The following year, federal agents arrested Royer and charged him with conspiring with a Pakistani Wahhabist group -- Lashkar-I-Taibi, or "Army of the Righteous" -- to commit terrorism in Kashmir, Chechnya and elsewhere. Closely linked to MAS is the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, whose Executive Director is Mahdi Bray, a former Students for a Democratic Society activist now affiliated with International ANSWER, an anti-war front group for the Communist World Workers Party. "Our mission," Bray has written, "is to build an integrated empowerment process for the American Muslim community." Toward this end, Bray and MAS have been involved in a voter-registration drive and an effort to train 1,000 "activists" in the "skills necessary for effective activism." MAS also has close ties to Islamic American University, an unaccredited university in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, which teaches Islamic law and other subjects. (One IAU faculty member is Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, who until at least June 2003 was also the Chairman -- in abstentia -- of the university's Board of Trustees. ) In addition, MAS operates programs for educating the young, providing fellowship for Muslim youth, creating its own network of Islamic schools, and sustaining a nationwide Council of Imams. MAS was a signatory to a February 20, 2002 document condemning military tribunals and the detention of immigrants apprehended in connection with post-9/11 terrorism investigations. MAS strongly opposes the Patriot Act, which it says "strips away the fundamental checks and balances that safeguard many of our basic civil liberties," and has "drastically infringed upon every American's rights by giving the government expanded powers to invade privacy, imprison and deport people without due process, and punish political dissent." As of early June 2007, the Minnesota chapter of MAS featured the following anti-Semitic, pro-jihad quotes on its website, www.masmn.org:
In September 2007, MAS President Esam S. Omeish, who was also a member of Virginia's Commission of Immigration, resigned in disgrace from his MAS post after it was revealed that he had been videotaped at a December 22, 2000 rally in Washington, DC, telling a Muslim audience: "... we are here today ... to tell our brothers and sisters in Palestine that you have learned the way; that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land. And we, by standing here today ... we are telling them that 'we are with you, we are supporting you, and we will do everything that we can ... to help your cause.'" (Click here for this December 2000 video.) Another damning video showed Omeish, at an August 12, 2006 rally in Washington, denouncing an invasion of Lebanon by the "Israeli war machine"; accusing Israel of genocide and massacres against Palestinians; and claiming that the "Israeli agenda" controls the U.S. Congress. On October 19, 2011, MAS was one of 57 organizations to co-sign a letter that Farhana Khera, executive director of an Islamic organization called Muslim Advocates, wrote to Barack Obama's then-Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (and later CIA director) John Brennan. The letter demanded that Obama officials "purge all federal government training materials of biased materials"—that is, materials that they claimed were biased against Islam—and "implement a mandatory re-training program for FBI agents, U.S. Army officers, and all federal, state and local law enforcement who have been subjected to biased training." Joing MAS as signatories were such groups as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Circle of North America, Islamic Relief USA, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. The Obama Administration immediately complied with the letter's demands. Dwight C. Holton, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, emphasized that same day that training materials for the FBI would be purged of everything that Islamic supremacists deemed offensive: "I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for. They will not be tolerated."In mid-November 2014, the government of the United Arab Emirates designated MAS, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and 81 groups from other countries as terrorist organizations. Others on the list included ISIS; al Qaeda and its various branches; the Muslim Brotherhood and its branches; Britain's Cordoba Foundation; the Muslim Association of Britain; and numerous European Muslim groups based in Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
In a 2010 email to fellow Islamic and leftist activists, Muslim scholar Al-Husein Madhany wrote: "When I said that I believe MAS halaqas [religious meetings] to be a national security threat, it was only part in jest. My caution comes from what I have personally heard said at MAS halaqas during my time in graduate school and based on what I know about their ideological (but financial) ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas."

In the game Dungeons & Dragons dromites are small monstrous humanoids with natural psionic ability. They stand about 3 feet tall and usually weigh slightly more than 30 pounds. They have iridescent compound eyes. Dromites typically wear heavy boots and light clothing, and are sometimes content with just a sturdy harness. Most dromites encountered outside their homes are warriors.
The race comes from the D&D source book Expanded Psionics, a 3.5 edition book. This is one of the first races outlined in the book, and has various racial abilities. One being the chitin that it creates, giving it a natural armor bonus, as well as a minor resistance to certain energy attacks. As a naturally psionic race, the Dromite gets a bonus to it's Power Points. The dromite actually has antenae on it's head, that allow it the scent and blind fight feats. For more information, look for an SRD, or look through the Expanded Psionics book.

Gun stores report brisk business after Conn. massacre
- Gun dealers say the shooting combined with seasonal sales are spurring business
- Sales have been on the rise for the past several years, dealers say
- Some federal lawmakers have called for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban
Although national firearms sales and data on FBI background checks are not immediately available for the days before and after the second-largest school shooting in U.S. history, there is evidence that firearms sales are moving at a brisk pace.
Some gun dealers in Oregon, Virginia and Texas said Monday that stocks of handguns and shotguns were selling quickly.
"Our sales are astronomical,'' said Karl Durkheimer, owner of Northwest Armory in Portland, Ore. "We have customers coming in who are very worried for their personal safety. There is no question that sales are related'' to Friday's shooting, which left 28 dead including the 20-year-old shooter and his mother, and last week's deadly shooting at a Portland-area shopping mall.
FULL COVERAGE:Nation mourns victims of Conn. school shooting
SCHOOLS:React to shooting
STORY:Loophole in Michigan bill means schools can't ban guns
Durkheimer said President Obama's emotional response to the incident and his pledge to deal with the issue also has likely prompted increased traffic.
"It makes me sick to my stomach to think that some of this business is being caused at another's expense,'' he said.
Jim Jarrett, owner of Patriot Services in Richmond, Va., reported a surge in calls for guns of all kinds Monday. Some of the calls, he said, were related to the Christmas rush and others were more than likely a response to the Connecticut shooting and concerns about the future availability of assault rifles.
Since the shooting, some federal lawmakers, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., have called for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
For the past five years, Jarrett estimated that business has increased by more than 70%, a reaction in part to what he described as "a perceived gun grab'' by the Obama administration that never materialized.
Obama did not push gun-control legislation in his first term and guns were not a major part of the recently completed election.
"There's plenty of money out there (for guns),'' Jarrett said. "You would never know we were coming off of a couple down years in the economy. February is usually our best time of year. That's when the (tax) refund checks come back.''
In Lubbock, Texas, Mike Blackwell, a salesman at Sharp Shooters, said the store was packed Monday evening. "We're busy as all get-out,'' he said, attributing the rush to Christmas sales and "some of it probably due to this recent (shooting) incident.''
Well before Friday's school massacre in Connecticut, there were signs that gun sales were rising.
On Black Friday, firearms dealers swamped the FBI with a record number of required buyer background checks for a single day. The 154,873 calls represented a 20% increase from last year's previous one-day record, according to bureau records.
Though FBI background checks do not track actual gun sales -- in part because multiple firearms can be included in one transaction by a single buyer -- the checks have been an indicator of trends in gun sales.

SAP tells of a future built on in-memory, mobile, and cloud
SAP outlined its cloud strategy at the SapphireNow conference in Orlando. Are customers genuinely interested, or is it just SAP hype?
ORLANDO, Fla. – SAP today painted a vision of a future where innovation hinges on mobile devices, cloud applications and in-memory technology, and did its best to convince attendees at SapphireNow that it was the company best positioned to meet those demands.
"We're at a paradigm shift," SAP co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe told conference attendees.
While trying to convince customers SAP was distilling that strategy into everyday examples, especially in the areas of in-memory cloud HR applications that can be consumed on mobile devices, Hagemann Snabe also said it was looking ahead to future possibilities of where the technology could lead.
Jim Hagemann Snabe talks of the future for technology (Source: SAP)
Hagemann Snabe spoke of an "intelligent business web," a highly sophisticated in-memory based network of cloud-based applications in which businesses and customers can interact using real-time information.
One example is a prototype of an analytics application SAP is working with a Chinese shipping company that plots shipping routes based on complex calculations of weather, fuel prices, and other factors, and let customers also access that same information when making decisions.
The talk of cloud applications appealed to Sandra Previde, a senior information systems manager for the biotech firm Amgen, based in Thousand Oaks, Calif., even if the talk about an intelligent business web didn't hold much interest for her.
Previde said one of her main reasons for coming to Sapphire was to talk to representatives from Netbase, an SAP partner whose analytics application lets companies track trends and information across social media channels.
"Cloud is something we're looking at," Previde said.
Others may need more convincing, at least when it comes to the line of cloud-based HR applications that SAP is creating with SuccessFactors, a maker of software-as-a-service applications SAP recently purchased for $3.4 billion. Company officials have said it will lead to an "end-to-end offering of cloud and on-premises solutions for managing all relevant business processes."
Perhaps reflecting the division between those that prefer on-premise applications, and those looking to the cloud, Tony Pittavese, who teaches ERP administration at East Tennesee State University, said he had more questions than answers after listening to the presentation given by SuccessFactors CEO Lars Dalgaard.

"There was a lot of hyperbole," Pittavese said. "I don't know how all of that will turn out for customers."
SuccessFactors and cloud apps
While SAP announced a number of new mobile applications yesterday, and will devote tomorrow's keynote to analytics, HANA, and in-memory technology, SAP used Tuesday to announce a number of new cloud-based applications as a part of what it says is a growing emphasis on Software-as-a-Service applications.
That includes new versions of some of its most traditional, on-premise applications, such as a cloud-based version of its payroll application that will be tied to the SuccessFactors' Employee Central application. The application is scheduled to be available in 10 countries once released.
SAP also announced a new SAP Financials OnDemand application, primarily for larger corporations needing to combine their core financials with the management of order-to-cash and invoice-to-pay processes. At the same time, SAP said it is rolling out an improved version of SAP Sales OnDemand updated with selling features, as well as tools that allow for integration with the SAP Business Suite, including SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
SAP also announced the general availability of SAP Social Customer Engagement OnDemand, which helps companies communicate with customers over social media channels as a part of their marketing efforts.
Despite the progress with SAP's cloud strategy, it also announced that it would be taking a different approach with Business ByDesign, with Dalgaard announcing it would be offering Business ByDesign as an entire on-demand suite as in the past, but that customers could also soon deploy segmented portions of the application.
While some may again question whether the announcement indicates it's giving up on its flagship on-demand ERP, Dalgaard simply said that some customers were looking for something less monolithic than what Business ByDemand offers.
SAP announced the upcoming availability of its NetWeaver Cloud PaaS product, but did not provide a specific date. The open-standards platform, which runs on HANA in-memory technology, will allow customers and partners to build and test cloud-based applications that extend an SAP landscape.

Sully Erna Begins Vocal Tracking for Upcoming Godsmack Album
Godsmack's last studio album came out in 2010, but the band is inching closer to completing a new disc. In a new tweet, frontman Sully Erna gave fans an update on the recording sessions for their forthcoming disc.
Revealing that pre-production has in fact ended, Erna stated that he was preparing to start on vocal tracking for the upcoming disc. Just last month, the frontman told fans that the band had finished coming up with 11 new tracks in just two weeks of work, while drummer Shannon Larkin had stated that the band was having difficulty narrowing down which tracks they would record for their new album.
Erna's tweet, which clearly shows his excitement for the new music, can be read below:
Godsmack have also been keeping fans up to date on the progress of their new album via their Facebook page in a series of photo updates. Check out a few of the posts below and see all of the band's photos from the studio here.

We are a recent start-up and university spin-off that is already an industry leader in the fields of face detection, tracking, and recognition. We are in the midst of a major website rewrite and are looking for a new web logo and header to help set the tone for the look & feel of the new site.
Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (or PittPatt)
Our company tracks, and recognizes faces in digital video and images. Here is our current website for ideas about what we do: http://pittpatt.com. You can even play with our online (image-only) demo if you want: http://demo.pittpatt.com
We are not wed to any of the design choices of our current website (colors, branding, everything is fair game so be creative). You can feel free to adopt and play with any of the current elements but we are very open to new ideas.
We have three primary requirements. We want a logo in SVG format. Wewant an additional website header with both the logo and the companyname/branding. We want the logo to look good down to 16x16 (faviconsize).
We plan to offer constant feedback to all participants and we willaward a prize even if we do not decide to use the winning logo.
Feel free to: change the colors, capitalize as you like, and shorten the company name to pittpatt.
Update 1: I've added a "dislike" to include "crosshair" logos.
Update 2: We seem to be preferring entries with the logo to the left of the company text (or possibly to the right?)
Update 3: Some things that have come out of our meetings are we'd prefer the simpler and elegant designs over the more complciated ones
- Distinct, modern logo in SVG format
- Looks good down to favicon size
- Additional website header with logo + company name
- Logo to the left (or maybe right) of the company text
- We seem to favor simple and elegant designs over highly complex ones
- Ugliness?
- Crosshair-like logos
- Logos above/below the company text have fallen somewhat out of favor
- Eyeballs
- Anything that looks like a terminator :)

Like most of his classmates, Frederic Ribault was attracted by Vatel's educational concept: "The idea of not having to sit for a whole year listening to teachers giving us courses, but to also be able to do my future job was something that I could really relate to.
And then when you can travel throughout your schooling plus having an application hotel right on the campus, you can certainly understand why I applied to Vatel Nimes."
The Sofitel Buenos Aires Arroyo General Manager, Frederic Ribault is also in charge of all the upmarket hotels (Sofitel, MGallery and Pullman) for the Accorhotels group in Argentina.
"My mission consists in coordinating the work done by all the hotel managers in my area, so that they all share the same sales, development, recruitment strategies and so on.
I traveled quite a bit when I was studying at Vatel and throughout my whole career. I regularly go to meet hotel managers all over in Argentina and also go to Brazil where the Accorhotels group head office is located for Latin America.
And there's not a single city where I didn't find at least one Vatelien during my career and today four of them work with me at the Sofitel Buenos Aires.Vatel really bonds us together, and that's something rare and priceless."
A quick look at his career
- 1997: graduates from Vatel, becomes a Vatelien
- 1997-1998: Administrative controller at the Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port
- 1998-1999: Restaurant manager at the Sofitel La Defense Center in Paris
- 1999-2001: F&B Manager at the Hotel Clipper & Hotel Baie du Galion in the Caribbean
- 2001-2004: Restaurant manager at the Sofitel Paris Porte de Sevres
- 2004-2007: F&B Manager at the Sofitel Versailles in Paris (nom Pullman Château de Versailles Hotel)

- 2014-2015: General Manager at the Sofitel Buenos Aires in Argentina
- 2015 to date: Luxury hotels manager for the Accorhotels group in Argentina

I came across this article by Paul Graham, through a question that was put to me. Graham made this presentation at the first MOMA Photography Forum in February 2010. He talks of the art world's opinion to 'straight' photography as reminding him,
"of the parable of an isolated community who grew up eating potatoes all their life, and when presented with an apple, thought it unreasonable and useless, because it didn't taste like a potato."
The presentation in article form is incredible and well worth a read, I can only imagine the presentation itself would have been wondrous.

During Black History Month, discover your own family history with expert techniques for tracing African-American ancestors! On Saturday, February 19, genealogist Char McCargo Bah will present "In Search of Parker and Gray: Two African American Education Icons," an illustrated lecture on how she researched two noted Alexandria educators. The program runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Alexandria Black History Museum, 902 Wythe Street. This event is $5 per person, and advance registration is recommended.
Ms. Bah will share her research into John F. Parker and Sarah A. Gray, early African American educators in Alexandria for whom the Parker-Gray School was named during segregation. Despite recognition of their names today, little was known about Parker or Gray. Through genealogical research, Char has uncovered previously unknown history about both of them and she will reveal her successful research techniques. Participants will learn the importance of collateral lines, how to distinguish among people with the same name, and other tips that will help them document their family's history.
This event is part of "Their Voices Can Be Heard," Char's ongoing Alexandria genealogy series which began with her research into descendants of people buried at Freedmen's Cemetery, the historic African-American burial ground reclaimed by the City in 2007. Since 2008, Ms. Bah, an Alexandria native, has located dozens of descendants of people buried at Freedmen's Cemetery, most of whom are 5th and 6th generations removed. Many of the descendants still live in Alexandria or nearby, but were not familiar with their Civil War-era ancestors.
Ms. Bah has been doing genealogical research since 1981, and specializes in overcoming the unique challenges that African-American family research presents. She holds two undergraduate degrees and a certificate in legal research investigation, and her work has been featured in several magazines and newspapers. A regular columnist for the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society newsletter, she also hosts a monthly online chat on Afrigeneas.com called "A Chat with Char." Ms. Bah is a contributing author to Everyday Grace, Everyday Miracle, and the forthcoming Eyewitness to America: Virginia WPA Slave Narratives. She has appeared on several television and radio programs, including BBC Radio and PBS's History Detectives. Ms. Bah has lectured throughout the East Coast and is a popular speaker at the Alexandria Black History Museum.
The Alexandria Black History Museum is located in the heart of the Parker-Gray Historic District in Alexandria, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The first major product revamp to come out of Yahoo after Marissa Mayer took over last summer was a new version of Yahoo Mail, completed last fall.
Yahoo sources tell us Mayer pushed the team making it to get it done incredibly fast – in just four months.
That's about 14 fewer months than it took Yahoo to revamp Mail last time.
These sources say it was impressive to watch Mayer inspire engineers and designers to work through several weekends in a row – a once too rare sight at Yahoo.
But did Mayer push the team to work too fast?
Yesterday, British Internet-service provider BT announced that it was no longer funnel its customers into Yahoo Mail, as BT's email provider of choice.
Yahoo will lose about 6 million accounts in the process.
BT says its dumping Yahoo because of security issues.
"We will be switching customers' email over to BT Mail, which will include the features and functions they expect from a modern email service," BT's Nick Wong, director of online for BT's consumer division, told the Guardian.
Brutal comment, right?
In the long term, Mayer can't afford for Yahoo Mail to breakdown and shed individual users or lose partnerships with major ISPs.
Yahoo Mail is one of Yahoo's two most important products, along with the homepage.
Yahoo has hundreds of millions of mail users. Yahoo makes a lot of money off these users because they often end up looking at other Yahoo pages, including Yahoo.com, before or after they check their email.
Thanks to the user migration to non-Web-based, mobile email, Yahoo is beginning to see fewer of these money-making sessions. It can't afford to accelerate the process with bad product.
The good news for Mayer is that thanks to Yahoo's lucrative investment in Asian Internet companies, she has lots of time to fix Yahoo Mail and the development structure that resulted in a flawed product.

save (one's) own neck(redirected from save my own neck)
save (one's) own neck
To rescue or protect oneself from danger, trouble, or difficulty, usually without regard or concern for the welfare of others. In the face of the IRS audit, the CEO was more concerned with saving his own neck than ensuring his employees' jobs remained secure. Just be sure not to leave yourself exposed in this scandal—you can be sure that the senator is looking to save her own neck, and you should be doing the same.

Nicki Minaj is full of surprises. Last week her video "Beauty & A Beat" with Justin Bieber leaked and went on to break VEVO's record for the most views in 24 hours. Today she decided to release her music video for "The Boys"and warns everyone "Don't go against Nicki, impossible."
The video begins with a woman reading a newspaper with the headlines "Barber Shop Burns Down After 'Freak' Flame-Thrower Accident." We soon learn Nicki is one not to mess with.
The Colin Tilley directed clip opens with two dead men in a barber shop. Coincidence? We think not.
Nicki's many wigs change throughout the video as she takes on new personalities. From a short rainbow look to long blonde locks dip dyed with blue and a cotton candy pink, she looks fierce sporting a pink bikini, neon yellow spandex and jean jacket with a blue tutu like skirt.
Alongside some suggestive dance moves with Cassie the girls rap about their frustrations with guys.
"The boys are all spending their money on love," Cassie sings.
Meanwhile, Nicki shows off her rapid fire raps in the barber shop right after she's shown holding a flamethrower. Surrounded by flames it's not too hard to solve the crime in this video.
Nicki will release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up on November 19.

Singapore Fling

Its 3.30, late into the afternoon, and I'm back from a boring client meeting where we discussed everything else but work. T
he creatives need to be tweaked, the logo needs to be bigger, and the ad has to be adapted to a smaller size.
Just when life seemed miserable, I opened shobhaade.blogspot.com, learnt of her singapore fling and all appetite for life is back.
My fast is broken, and I'm heading off to attack my friend's dabba. There's no crab meat samosas in it, but there's gharguti varan bhaat, thecha and batata bhaji.
Shobhaa, thanks for opening my eyes to the new, improved singapore nightlife.
I think I must positively make an effort to go there now and also make my cousin there feel happy that I've come just to meet her.

ma'am...er...no offence...but i will second the idea of renaming your blog to 'khataa rahe mera dil' :P
- July 14, 2008 at 9:53 PM
- sanju ayyar said...
'Khaata rahey mera dil' as a blog name is maybe too far-fetched, but if the ideology of the blog is to make it a food blog primarily, how about this as a name:
'Chak De'
Its got food. Its got you too. Perfect branding you see :-)

Seems like you had a gala time! :)

Being a veggie,I won't wish I could try the delicacies you mentioned,but who would not drool? :P

I have installed Audio Recorder to record sounds played by my computer.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:osmoma/audio-recorder
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audio-recorder
I want it to create separate files after several seconds of silence, like for tracks.
It has a lot of possible settings especially by activating the "timer".
But, under my current settings, stopping after silence ("stop if silence") and restarting recording if sound is played ("start if sound") would continue recording in the same file.
I want it to continue in a new file each time. That would increase the probability of recording separate audio parts/songs as separate files.
I have uploaded here the timer syntax help (also available after installation clicking the button beside timer options).
