In order to help you better understand how Student Activities works with student-run organizations, the following information has been developed.
Chartered Student Organizations have to re-apply for recognition each year ro ensure updated information, but are automatically approved. They are created by standing governmental bodies and have elected or appointed leadership. Below are some examples of Chartered Student Organizations:
Student Government: KPU, SUB, AUTO, Class Councils, School CouncilsMedia Board: ATV, Talon, AmLit, AmWord, WVAU, Clocks & Clouds, AWOLCampus Newspaper: The EagleGraduate Leadership Council: Graduate School CouncilsAU Club Council: All clubsSocial Greek Organizations: Panhellenic Association (PHA), Interfraternity Council (IFC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)
Recognized Student Organization must re-apply for recognition each academic year. The re-application process not only ensures that Student Activities has the most up-to-date information for the organization on file but also re-assures us that there is still a vested interest within the student body for the mission statement and purpose of the organization.
The full list of categories of RSOs is as follows:
· Academic
· Business
· Coalitions
· Cultural
· Education and Advocacy
· Global
· Honorary Societies
· Performing Arts
· Political
· Religious
· Service
· Social/Recreational
· Social Justice
· Social Fraternity/Sorority
· Student Governance (for classification purposes, this category includes all CSOs plus Graduate School Councils and Student Government branches/departments)
· Student Media (for classification purposes, this category includes all members of the Media Board and the Eagle)
Fraternities/Sororities: Each chapter of an organization must embrace a dedication to leadership, scholarship, community service, and responsible citizenship and will be assigned one of the following statuses (based on Student Activities, individual chapter guidelines and inter/national chapter guidelines):
Media Organizations: American University currently has seven recognized media organizations. All of the media groups, except for The Eagle, are governed by the Media Board.
The Media Board is an independent organization, funded by the Student Activity Fee Fund, and designed to execute or oversee the following responsibilities:
· To allocate funds and oversee any financial matter under the jurisdiction or the media board.
· To mediate and resolve grievances against one or more members of the media board.
· To serve as a liaison to the University community.
· To ensure the financial and managerial efficiency of the media at American University.
· To promote and protect the existence and activities of student media at American University.
Coalitions: Coalitions are umbrella organizations for any clubs or organizations that wish to join together under a common mission or purpose. While they will have a financial account established through Student Activities, not all member organizations need to be Student Activities clubs/organizations but they must be University-recognized. Coalitions are not eligible to receive funding through the AUCC and most commonly create a budget or funding base by creating a system of dues for member organizations or planning fundraisers.
Honorary Societies: Student Activities currently recognizes Golden Key International Honour Society, Alpha Lambda Delta, National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), and the Order of Omega. Honor societies that are associated with a specific school or discipline are overseen by the respective Dean's office.

Campers Pile In Ready For a Weekend at Halfway Jam [VIDEO]
Subscribe to AM 1240 WJON on
ROYALTON — Whether by trailer, mobile home, or tent thousands of people are gathering in fields near Royalton for three days of rock at Halfway Jam.
Campground Manager Denise Silvers says that people drop off their campers the Sunday before to save their spot.
"They pay fifteen-dollars a day just to save their spot, they don't even camp out here yet they just hold their spot," says Silvers.
The three day event starts tonight (Thursday) with music starting at 5:00 p.m and goes until the Saturday.
Bruce Brown has been camping at Halfway Jam for ten years, all in the same spot.
"It has a nice breeze and easy access to the concert area, it's a good time," says Brown.
Throughout the weekend campers will hear from bands like, Winger, Jackyl and Kix.
Silver says while things could get crazy they campers behave well.
"…It's really like a family"
"They are all good people, I've had no problems with them," says Silver.
This is Kami Schoeszler's first year at Halfway Jam. She says she's excited for what's in store.
"The bands, the music, the fun it's kind of like a vacation just to get away," says Schoeszler.
Although it's the bands that continues to bring people back year after year, campers will tell you its the people they meet that makes the experience worth it.
"Just the people you know, everybody just gets together walks around and have a good time," says Brown.
"Listening to good music and then coming back and having more fun at the camper," says Schoeszler.
"It's really like a family, they are all family," says Silvers.

A concerned citizen calling about a suspicious person netted three arrests on Thursday, said officer Matt Latino with the Lodi Police Department.
Latino got a call at 3:45 a.m. about a suspicious looking man wearing all black in the vicinity of Schaffer Drive. A quick check of the area revealed a car parked with its lights off facing the wrong direction on the road. Two people were inside and seemed to be waiting for something. A few minutes later, Thomas Shane Anstead, 23, came running across the street and jumped in the car, but it didn't leave.

Adventures with percentages up a mountain
Hi all – time for my slightly delayed June update.
The research trips for dolphin I.D. have now completely finished so we are now on the homeward straight with all the fin analysis. Stefan has been very busy with other issues this last month (he's had a book published) and Diana has been working on publicity for the "fight against Chepeconde beach closure" so Clara and I have been ploughing on.
Stefan also teaches future bird guides as an additional job and he had arranged to take some of his students up to the Bosque de Zarate (about 2 hours inland from Lima) for a trek and some training. I thought I may as well invite myself to get out of Lima for the day. Diana and Clara also joined us so at 4:30am (ugh) the 4 of us found ourselves in the jeep, driving out of Lima to meet the students in the village of San Bartolome before our trek. I'd met some of the students before on a research trip.
I had already decided that I had no intention of taking any interest in any birding training that would be happening – nope, that day I would be a tourist and just enjoy the scenery. So, we met up with the 5 students who had stayed over in San Bartolome the night before, paid some random woman our 5 soles each who accosted us as we drove into the village – she was probably the mayor, as we drove into the village she sniffed us out and issued us with our entry tickets for the trek and told us to leave the jeep in the plaza central ….. this plaza central was basically the size of our jeep. So, leaving San B on foot, the village with a new "installation" for the local kids to play on for the day in the plaza ….
At the beginning of the path that marked the start of the trek there was a sign explaining it should take about 5 or 6 hours to reach the forest (dear god) and about 3 hours to come back down again. We were leaving at 7:00am but it looked like it was going to be a long day ! I headed off ahead on my own, wanting to go my own pace ….. the path was a fairly wide track twisting back and forth up the mountain …. Uphill …. All the time ….. not even a smidge of levelling out for respite. God it was tough. I left the others behind me as they kept stopping for bird training and I prefer not to feel as though I've got to catch people up. Mind you, the views were pretty spectacular. After about an hour I passed a sign saying I'd completed 10% of the trek – 10 bloody % I gasped !! An hour later, with no further signs passed I reached a sort of plateau area and I collapsed onto a rock with my wobbly legs and waited for the others – oh my god it was hard work ! The rest followed in dribs and drabs, they had now become 3 groups – Stefan with Diana and Clara and Carlos, then couple A and couple B as I've called them. Whilst we rested for a bit at the plateau I pondered where the route went next, I could see the continuation of the wide path we'd been walking on go into the distance and it seemed a bit more levelled out, after all, we were bloody high up – maybe we'd be at about 40% by now ??
But no, we found a sign pointing upwards towards, what can best be described as a vague line in the mountain side, going up, and up, and up ….. you get the idea ….
So, off we headed again, me striking out ahead – this was worse, it was steep, continuous, a very thin path (one person wide), with a drop down the mountain side on the right hand side. It just went on and on ….. ahead I saw a sign – "ooh, what percentage now ?" I thought ? 30%, great.
About 40 minutes more of agony I stopped at the 40% sign for a break. By now I was not far off 3000 metres. Another 40 minutes or so I see the next sign ahead – has to be 50% doesn't it ??? …….Nope, 40% again !! After confirming with myself I hadn't gone round in circles and contemplating doing serious damage to the sign I took a deep breath and continued …..
A particularly steep, strenuous and soul destroying 30 minutes later I came across the next sign ….. 40 BLOODY PERCENT !! SERIOUSLY ????!!!!! At this point I sat down to ponder whether my mental faculties had been diminished by the effort. I had been walking for about 5 hours now and was knackered but also I started to think about getting back down (which is always tougher for me). So, sitting there, waiting for the others I decided, I'm an adult and I'm done, there is no way I'm going further, I've enjoyed the views and I don't want to get stuck up here and walking down in the dark. So, when, 20 minutes later Stefan and his group of 3 arrived I told them my decision, wished them luck and started to head downhill. I passed couple A about 20 minutes after that, wished them luck and continued on, waiting to pass couple B on the way up. However, on rounding a corner I saw couple B ahead of me heading down as well ! I shouted out to them and they had given up on the second 40% ! So, I joined up with couple B and we descended together …. About an hour later they received a text from couple A saying they'd made it to 55% !! We were glad we'd made our decision !
We got back down to San Bartolome at about 2:30pm, had some lunch and sat around the Nissan installation in the Plaza Central. By about 4:00pm couple B decided to wait no more and get a bus back to Lima. At about 6pm couple A turned up – they had turned back after 55% so it was just Stefan, Diana, Clara and Carlos left up the mountain …. With 2 hours of daylight left. Once couple A had jumped on a bus I was left in the plaza on my own, forming part of the new installation.
By the time darkness came I was starting to wonder if they were ok, I had a mobile phone with no signal so I couldn't contact them, I was thinking of that bloody narrow path in the dark and I couldn't really do anything. I walked out of the village up to the beginning of the path of the trek to see if I could see any sign of torch lights coming down the mountain, nothing but darkness to see so I headed back into the village again. I repeated this action about 20 bloody times that night ! In the end I decided to find the mayor woman and ask her if I should be worried, she said she'd had a call a few minutes ago, they were fine, they'd got lost but they were on their way down now. So, I drove the jeep from its installation point in the plaza down to the bridge near the trek entrance and waited there and stared at the mountain side for about 3 hours hoping nothing happened to them on the way down in the darkness. At long last I saw the tiny spots of light coming down the path and eventually Diana and Clara appeared followed by Stefan and Carlos, all knackered and very thirsty but luckily no worse. I felt like a mother hen welcoming back my lost chicks !
So, at midnight with everyone in the jeep and me driving (no way I was letting Stefan drive after all that) we headed back on the journey to Lima. The drive wasn't without incident as we got pulled over at a police checkpoint, I was looking forward to seeing how the locals dealt with my international driving licence but, typical Peru, the officer looked in the jeep, asked me where I was from and promptly asked for the I.D. documents from Stefan and Carlos – nothing from the women in the jeep !!
Anyone ever thinking of doing the trek up to Zarate – give yourself 2 days and take some camping equipment !!
Less strenuous news – we had a client query for a birding tour of Pantanos de Villa, they wanted to go on a Saturday morning. Stefan asked me to contact them as he was conducting an exam in the morning so he wouldn't be able to take them until early afternoon, either that or I guide them !! So, I gave them 2 choices, wording my email that if they come with me they are getting someone who has nearly no experience or if they go later they get Stefan the expert ….. I signed off and sent the email fairly confident that my email would convince them to choose Stefan ….. 10 minutes later, they want to go early in the morning with me as their guide – Aaaaggghhhh !!
So, with Clara helping me (for that read, blind leading the blind) I have conducted my first bird tour flying solo !! It went ok actually, I identified 33 birds and I think the clients had a good time !!
More news next month !

New Delhi: Luc Hennard was appointed managing director of Hermes Middle East South Asia Pte Ltd seven months ago, having served the French luxury group for more than a decade. Present in India through a 49:51 joint venture with Ashok and Neelam Khanna who manage Ananda Spa in the Himalayas, Hermes operates two stores in the country that sell bags, scarves, apparel, fragrances, jewellery, watches and tableware, among other products.
Hennard spoke in a phone interview about challenges posed by the Indian market and trends across Asia. Edited excerpts:
How did the luxury market perform in your regions in 2012? Where does India figure?
This part of the world is a challenge, but there is also potential with new markets opening up. We entered India five years ago, starting in Delhi in a hotel like any major brand in the market. Initially, we faced the expected challenges with real estate and imports duties. But today we can say that there is an improvement. After five years, we have taken a step to set up at a stand-alone location at Horniman Circle, Mumbai, and we really believe in the future of this market. We see a nice progression and we feel the following years will be very good for us in India.
The foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for single-brand retail in India have been relaxed. What do you think of this change?
FDI has been challenging in the past. The 30% sourcing locally is not easy for us to manage. Our partners in India are long-time friends of the Hermes family and for the moment we are happy like this. In the future, we will progress depending on the change in the rule, but today we are not considering changing that (i.e. the local India partner).
On the design side, what trends are shaping purchase decisions in South Asia?
More and more, we see fashion accessories progressing and in other South Asian markets, we see a lot of watch and jewellery business. For India, of course, it is our leather and silk products, but as the customers learn more about Hermes, we see more customers buying ready-to-wear, watches and from our home collection.
Is the iconic Birkin in high demand in India as well?
The Birkin bag is popular across the world. It is always in high demand. It is one of the bags we hear about a lot and, therefore, customers want to have one. It is one of the famous leather pieces, but there are a lot of other bags that consumers want.
What are consumers across Asia buying today?
As you know, Hermes has a wide variety of products. We can have a customer come in and buy something like a fragrance or a scarf or a tie, and then also another kind of customer who wants a handbag, or ready-to-wear or maybe an entire tableware set. With so many possibilities, we have every kind of customer.
Hermes was among the first brands to move beyond luxury malls and hotels and to Mumbai's Horniman Circle creating a high street in India. How has the response been so far?
In order to increase the awareness of Hermes, we needed to be located in a situation that would create an impact. Today, the luxury retail culture in India is not in the streets; it is in hotels and malls. The Mumbai store was a way to show that it was possible to be different, to be directly in the street.
Going forward, what are your plans for the Indian market?
If we look back, we opened a store in New Delhi and then the flagship store in Mumbai. We also opened a small store in Pune, which we eventually closed. Of course, we would like to see more stores opened in India but we want to take the time and be sure about the future. We are open to finding new properties but today we concentrate really on what we can do with the two stores we already have. What we do next is increase the investment in communications in order to share the values of Hermes and continue to develop the market.
What has the brand done differently for the Indian market?
Hermes is a company based on creativity in craftsmanship. India has such a magnificent history of craftsmanship and textiles that as a tribute we looked for a way to match that. Using our experience, we did a rendition of the sari collection that used prints of scarves inspired by Indian designs. This limited edition was our way of showing our appreciation for Indian culture.
Where do you see the Indian market five years from now?
This is a very challenging question. Firstly, we still consider this to be the beginning of Hermes in India even though we entered five years ago. Like I said, it was full of challenges, but we see a very quick evolution of India. This might not mean that in the next 10 years, we will have five shops in the country but right now we are happy with the evolution of the brand and the market. We feel India is an extremely promising market for the future.

For the first time since he's been the defensive coordinator at Arizona, Jeff Casteel has the triple threat at linebacker:
- Depth
- Experience
- Talent
In 2012, his first year at the UA, the Wildcats technically had a depth chart. Instead of a two-deep, it was a not-so-deep.
The UA was forced to start redshirt freshman walk-on Sir Thomas Jackson at weakside linebacker. He started next to Jake Fischer and played opposite Marquis Flowers, who was moved there two weeks prior to the season from safety.
The three backups were a pair of true freshmen, Dakota Conwell and C.J. Dozier, and a sophomore, Hank Hobson, who had eight tackles as a freshman.
Casteel, who also serves as the UA's linebackers coach, saw his group take a step forward last year when true freshman Scooby Wright emerged. He gave the Wildcats three solid starters. Depth, however, was still an issue.
This year, Arizona not only has depth at linebacker, but also competition.
Wright is a lock to start in the middle.
The two spots next to him are wide open.
Junior Keoni Bush-Loo and sophomores DeAndre' Miller, Jake Matthews, Derrick Turituri and Cody Ippolito are all competing for time at the two outside spots.
Combined, they've played in 66 career games for the Wildcats. Hobson, now a senior, will back up Wright.
It's a much different situation than in 2012.
"We have a lot of options," Casteel said. "There's nothing really settled with those two outside backer spots. Those guys are competing every day. They've all done some good things, and they've all done some things that are not so great.
"They're all working hard, and hopefully we can sort that out in the next week to 10 days."
Miller and Matthews have spent the most time with the first team during training camp. Both worked primarily on special teams last season, but used spring drills and the offseason to improve their stock.
"DeAndre' Miller is 100 percent better than what he was at this time last year," Casteel said. "He's playing with his hands a little bit better. His eyes are better. From a fundamental standpoint, he's doing a good job.
"Jake Matthews is stronger and bigger than he was last year. He's doing a good job of getting where he needs to get to."
Ippolito, who missed last season with a torn ACL, has seen some time with the first team recently. Turituri battled a hamstring injury early in camp, but is healthy now. Bush-Loo, the most experienced of the group has seen time with the first and second groups.
"We'll sort it all out," Casteel said. "In a perfect world, we can play six, seven, eight kids. The kids will determine that. Hopefully we can find a solid two-deep."
Quarterback talk
The UA doesn't appear any closer to naming a starting quarterback.
Rodriguez said Thursday morning that the competition at that position is much more of an actual competition than last year, when B.J. Denker ran away with the starting job.
"B.J. was clearly ahead, but he hadn't done enough to prove he could be the guy, but he was clearly ahead," Rodriguez said. "Right now, it's tighter. It truly is. One day you think one guy is going to separate, or two guys are going to separate, and then it doesn't happen that way. But as long as they're getting better and making steps. We have about another week of work to see who are the guys we think we can win with."
The coach said all four "veteran" quarterbacks — Anu Solomon, Jesse Scroggins, Jerrard Randall and Connor Brewer — are still getting reps in practice. It will stay that way for now, but the coach said by the week of the UNLV game, he'll have it pared down.
The coach hinted Thursday that he might design a specific package or two for one of the quarterbacks.
"We can't rep four guys (in a) game week," Rodriguez said. "But we can rep four guys if there are limited packages for a couple guys. In other words, he just runs these eight to 10 plays. Then we can give him those eight to 10 plays and then just move on."
Praise for freshmen
Quarterbacks Brandon Dawkins and Zach Werlinger aren't quite ready to join Solomon, Scroggins, Randall and Brewer in the competition, but the freshmen have still managed to impress Rodriguez so far.
Dawkins, a three-star recruit who also had offers from North Carolina State, Notre Dame and Utah, is likely to redshirt this season. Werlinger, a walk-on from Chandler Basha High School, will join him.
"I like Brandon; I like Zach Werlinger, too," Rodriguez said. "The two freshmen we have are really smart, really conscientious; they're both going to be really good football players. I like what I've seen so far. We're still giving rookies 10 to 15 minutes of teamwork every day. Those two have shown a good bit to me so far."
Denker on staff?
Denker has attended UA practices the past three days, and will likely join Rodriguez's staff in some capacity. The quarterback is likely to serve either as an intern or student assistant. The details are still being worked out.
Denker led the Wildcats to an 8-5 record in 2014, his only season as the starter. Denker threw for 2,516 yards and 16 touchdowns and ran for 949 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior. He played professionally in Switzerland earlier this summer, where he helped the Basel Gladiators win a Swiss Bowl championship.

TV Column: Sheen keeps talking; CBS wishes he'd worked this hard 'for an Emmy'
Tuesday, March 1, 2011; 11:20 PM
Tuesday will be known as the day we heard from The Receiving End of Charlie Sheen's Scorched Earth Media Tour.
While Sheen continued to talk to pretty much any media outlet with a microphone - on Tuesday, he explained to Howard Stern that his "two goddesses" share a bedroom and that he has his pick of the litter each night, kind of like HBO's "Big Love," only without the separate houses - parties of the second part began massaging their side of the kerfuffle.
CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves, for instance, joshed to attendees at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco that Sheen is "on the air quite a bit these days," adding that he wished the thespian "would have worked this hard to promote himself for an Emmy."
The decision to halt production on "Two and a Half Men" - the country's most popular comedy series - is "short-term financially . . . actually a gainer for us," Moonves noted.
That's because eight fewer episodes this season means eight episodes for which CBS does not have to pay Warner Bros. Television, which makes the show.
On Monday, for instance, CBS ran a "Men" rerun, even though it's the tail end of the February sweep ratings derby. It was the evening's most-watched program.
"It is a show that repeats very well," Moonves noted happily, while conceding that "repeats obviously get somewhat less revenue than the originals."
Moonves said he did not know what was going to become of the show next season, but added: "I hope it's back - we'll see."
CBS, like the other broadcast networks, will unveil next season's prime-time plans to advertisers in mid-May.
CBS and Warner Bros. Television shut down production on "Two and a Half Men" on Jan. 28 when Sheen announced he was going to enter rehab at Charlie Sheen's House, Calif. Production had been scheduled to resume this past Monday, but the two companies instead announced late last week that they'd shut down the show for the rest of this season. That came after Sheen attacked show creator Chuck Lorre in a tirade on a syndicated radio show, which went viral.
On Monday, Sheen offered a non-apology to Lorre on ABC's "Good Morning America," saying: "I didn't know you were so sensitive. Sorry if I offended you. After you whaling on me for eight years, I thought you could take a few shots back. I didn't know you were going to take your little ball and go home and punish everyone in the process."
Warner Bros. Television has since announced that it will financially compensate the "Men" crew for four of the eight "lost" episodes. Sheen is taking credit for that.

The EIC Factor
By Sarah Van Culin • January 26, 2013•Law School
Late last year, Ms. JD and the New York Law School released figures showing that female law students held only 31 percent of editor-in-chief positions at law reviews at ABA-approved law schools. As editor-in-chief of my school's law review, the numbers surprised me; I had thought female law students would be better represented. I considered writing a post musing about the reasons behind the statistics but, instead, I thought I'd offer the musings of an EIC coming to the end of her journal life and share some tips and insights into life on the law review board. If nothing else, I hope to take away some of the mystery surrounding the law review board application process and to encourage those of you reading who might be considering running for EIC to get involved.
With law review board applications looming, it can be hard to decide what position to run for. Don't discount running for editor-in-chief just because you think someone else is a shoo-in for the role. Much like first semester 1L grades, these things never work out the way you think they will. No-one applying for the role has more experience than you do because no-one has edited a law review before. While you can work on gaining all the editing experience possible prior to applying for the board, there is an inevitable learning curve involved with any role. Your current board knows this because they went through it too. If you're interested in the EIC role, put your name forward, be professional about your application, and be confident. You have as much right to apply for the EIC role as anyone else on law review.
While the application process varies from school to school, there is a good chance that there will be an interview as part of the process. Although you've spent the past year working with the people interviewing you, remember to be professional and take the process seriously. The EIC role requires that you can communicate with everyone from fellow students through to seasoned attorneys and law professors, so you want to show that you have the communication skills to deal with any situation you may find yourself in a professional manner. Editing law review is a lot of work so the board will be looking for someone who will step up and make sure the work gets done, even when classes and outlines are taking up time. Sadly publication deadlines won't disappear just because it is finals time.
Despite the title, an editor-in-chief doesn't just edit. Around a third of my time spent on law review is spent directly editing articles for publication. The rest of my time is spent negotiating contracts with authors, working with the law school on administrative issues, addressing any staffing or timing issues, reviewing articles before offers are made, as well as anything else that might arise in the course of taking an issue from article offer through to final publication. You need to be able to multi-task and be aware that you are making a substantial time commitment to law review by running for EIC.
Editor-in-chief is not the most glamorous of roles day-to-day but it is probably the thing I have most enjoyed and most valued from my time at law school. I've had a chance to work with some incredibly talented attorneys and law students as we've worked to publish their articles. I've had the chance to make friends with a group of law students who I respect and who I truly enjoy working with and I've been able to hold a copy of the USF Law Review in my hands knowing that I contributed—in some small way—to our school's academic reputation. I hope that more female law students will get the chance to experience the thrill of serving as editor-in-chief.

firefox plugin directory
TO: penguins who has trouble finding plugin directory for firefox. (Espcially java plugin follogin www.java.com instruction)
SOLUTION: you can use /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugin/ as plugin directory.
So far I have no trouble.
Happy Penguins!
interesting--I just went thru this (found plugins in /usr/lib/firefox)
My system has no plugins folder in /home/user/.mozilla-----did you simply create one?
Yes, my previous versions had plugins as yours.
The new one (Iceweasel??) does not have that directory... for some reason.
Anyway, ~/.mozilla/plugin/ works.
Happy Penguins!
really? i just checked mine:
kiro@Navi:~$ ls /usr/lib/firefox
distro difference i suppose --shrugs--
I also find system wide plugin directory.
Happy Penguins!
separate firefox directory
I found that /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins will be detected by firefox, but not by seamonkey (or, I'm guessing, other mozilla derivatives).
This was important to me as the 64-bit flash plugin was interfering with the 32-bit plugin I find I need for the latest version of seamonkey under ubuntu.
I now have the 64-bit flash in the above mentioned directory.
The 32-bit flash in ~/.mozilla/plugins
I am running ubuntu 8.04.1
I had some trouble with Flash player by Adobe.
Problem was:
Every time I restart, I needed to install flash.
After cleaning /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins, the symptom above went away.
Happy Penguins!
You might find that you have downgraded your flash player by cleaning that directory. You can see the versions of your plugins under Firefox by typing into the address bar:
You should definitely be running a version 10.x flash plugin.
I use the per-user libraries to prevent Seamonkey from attempting to run the 64-bit flash plugin. It works for me, but if you are likely to leave old versions in the directory and forget about it, you are probably best off clearing the directory and living with the support that comes in the standard packages which install into the /usr/... tree.
The /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins directory is a per-user source of libraries which should override the system libraries. Unless you are doing something special, you are probably not going to want to use that directory. On the other hand, if you recall doing a bunch of work on your browser setup, clearing that directory might give you new opportunities for adventure.
Your mozilla plugins path is defined by the variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH.
$ echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
$ env
> OS: Arch Linux x86_64
> Kernel: 3.8.4-1-ARCH
> Shell: /bin/zsh
> CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
On Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l (Linux ws18004138 3.2.0-40-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 21:22:10 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) that I am runningseems that he plugin directory is /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
To make adobe flash plugin work for me I copy from the extractd plugin "libflashplayer.so" ---->/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ and /plugin/usr/* ---> /usr/
Good luck ;)
Please include some kind of a statement indicating that you're re-opening an old thread. Otherwise you're likely to confuse people and have them attempt to respond to a long-dead discussion. Thanks.
There isn't one default plug-ins directory for firefox/mozilla, but a list of locations that it will check. See here:
Although the page is slightly out-of-date now I think it should still be generally accurate.
It's interesting to learn about the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH variable too. I'd never heard of it. Perhaps it's relatively new? But it's not the kind of thing that's likely to be preset on most systems, although you could use it to define a custom location if you wanted.

Cambridge. Mass (Jun. 24)
(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Felix M. Warburg and John D. Rockefeller were praised by President A Lawrence Lowell of Harvard at the dedication of the new Fogg Museum of Art of Harvard University.
Charles A. Coolidge, Harvard ?l, of the Boston firm of architects of Coolidge, Shepley. Bulfinch amp; Abbolt, presented the keys of the building to President Lowell, who passed them to Haward W. Forbes, Director of the museum, and Paul J. Sachs, Assistant Director.
"These keys." President Lowell said "are the symbols of the generosity of Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Warburg and the many others who have contributed for the erection of this building."

Members of a parliamentary committee that found widespread evidence of a culture of bullying, denial and cover-up in WorkCover NSW have increased public pressure on the state's work, health and safety regulator to show that it is actually cleaning up its act.
Greens MP and Industrial Relations spokesman David Shoebridge, who sat on the committee and originally pushed for the inquiry, has warned that WorkCover has so far given no signal that it would respond to allegations bullying was entrenched in its ranks.
The tough talk from parliamentary committee members comes as the Mike Baird government tries to figure out how to deal with the issue of bullying in the very agency that is responsible for stopping bullying in other organisations.
A key recommendation from the Committee, which issued its report in June, was that WorkCover apologise to their workforce and to one former employee in particular, Wayne Butler, who won an unfair dismissal claim that the state's Industrial Relations Commission branded a "witch hunt", for allowing a bullying culture to flourish.
The report also demands that WorkCover NSW demonstrate it has made progress addressing the report's recommendations within six months.
"There's no evidence that [WorkCover NSW] have read it and if they have digested and understood it," Mr Shoebridge said.
"There's a complete lack of insight from management. The most they've done is said that they're considering the report. Until they can bring themselves to apologise they will not the regain the trust of their workforce."
The Committee's recommendations include: management accepting bullying exists; cultural change and building trust; investigating complaints fairly, consistently and transparently; collecting bullying data annually and ensuring an independent body investigates bullying complaints against WorkCover NSW, rather than WorkCover NSW itself.
WorkCover NSW told Government News they are presently considering the report's recommendations and they would address them in due course.
However a key question is what teeth the Committee's recommendations actually have.
Mr Shoebridge said senior WorkCover NSW management had had a very unpleasant experience before the committee, and there could be more public pain on the way if things did not change soon.
"If they fail to respond to the recommendations they can expect an even more unpleasant experience at the end of this year. The community focus will be on failure to implement the recommendations and we will be holding management publicly to account in open hearings.''
"No CEO likes to be publicly humiliated."
The damning 200-page report, based on 104 submissions – most with names suppressed for fear of reprisal – contains numerous personal accounts of workers confronting intimidation, ridicule, discrimination, yelling, isolation and fear of retrenchment which left them psychologically damaged and often with serious physical health problems.
WorkCover bosses came in for some of the most stinging criticisms, including employing heavy-handed, authoritarian management style where dissenters were punished by being sidelined or sacked. Threats of staff cuts and redundancies were used by senior staff to crush dissent and further intimidate staff into passive acceptance.
One pregnant woman claimed she was bullied by WorkCover's People and Change Unit into withdrawing her sick leave prior to taking maternity leave. She later had an emergency Caesarean due to high blood pressure which she believed may have been triggered by the anxiety the bullying provoked.
Another woman with over 20-years experience as a respected workplace inspector was told by her cardiologist not to return to her job as stress-related angina would likely cause a heart attack and kill her. This followed after she was moved from a specialist senior role she loved into a role she was not sufficiently qualified for after she claims management told her others in the unit were jealous of her position.
The Committee found that not only had WorkCover NSW not grasped the seriousness of bullying in its own backyard, it was also not treating bullying allegations in other workplaces seriously enough.
The Public Service Association said when some WorkCover NSW inspectors investigated bullying they were encouraged to close a file if an organisation said it had a bullying policy.
Problems were also identified with the way the organisation runs Worker's Compensation, with a plethora of complaints from injured workers who felt they were treated rudely and aggressively by WorkCover staff and the scheme's agents.

Inflation or Deflation?
Why Read: Because whether we are going to be faced with inflation or deflation in the developed countries, and the world economy generally is a critical question - and one that affects not just investors, but everyone.
Featured Article: In a recently published article Michael Pento (Pento Portfolio Strategies), said to be an Austrian School of Economics specialist, says (among other things):
- deflation is "the free-market approach to rectify a secular period of superfluous money supply growth, debt accumulation and asset price appreciation";
- once Central Banks stop expanding the money supply, deflation takes hold;
- both the U.S. Federal Reserve and The European Central Bank have "proclaimed that they are on hold from debt monetization and currency debasement, the same monetary environment that led to the pronounced deflation that occurred during fall of 2008 has arrived once again"; and,
- a "healthy and cathartic period of deflation is needed; where asset prices fall, money supply shrinks and debt levels are reduced to a level that can be supported by the free market. This is the only viable answer for various nations struggling with solvency".
Commentary: Mr. Pento concludes his article by saying that:
- it is "vitally important" for investors to determine for how long Central Banks - which he sees as currently allowing deflation to prevail - will continue on that deflationary path before those Central Banks adopt historic policies and revert to inflation as economic conditions deteriorate further; and,
- it is important for investors to understand at any point in time where Central Banks policies are in "the cycle of inflation and deflation" and then to invest accordingly".
Mr. Pento has to be right in a number of the things he says. In particular that:
- the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank both currently are voicing policies of austerity over policies of quantitative easing, which in theory ought to be directionally deflationary; and,
- whether over time the now extensively globalized world economy will face inflation due to Central Bank policies or other factors (such as agricultural production, climate change issues, environmental issues, fresh water issues, etc.), or will face a period of deflation has to be important to financial market investors.
That said:
- the importance of whether we face inflation or deflation going forward will impact not only investors, but beyond that developed and developing country populations from the perspective of job creation, standard of living, etc..;
- while history may be useful to review how Central Banks have behaved in
the past, that may not prove to be a good predictor of how Central Banks
behave going forward for at least the following reasons:
- in recent times the world has operated in a completely 'fiat currency' environment only after 1971 - a period of just over 40 years,
- economic globalization has largely developed in the past 20 years, and has brought with it unprecedented (in modern day terms) country specific interdependencies,
- the sovereign debt of the developed countries is at unprecedented levels and growing,
- the banking systems in many of the developed countries have taken on a 'life of their own' - the concept of 'too big to fail' adds a dimension that is extremely difficult for developed country governments and Central Banks to deal with - if as a practical matter they prove in the end able to do that; and,
- there is growing wealth disparity in the developed countries that can be argued to be unhealthy, and ever more 'potentially problematic'.
One might think of the world as an 'economic 190 egg 'scrambled egg mixture' that continues to be beaten, and hence is a work in progress until it is put in a pan and cooked. In the end, the 'proof of the omelet is in the eating'. From 20,000 feet, it seems reasonable to think that:
- continued 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' has to lead to prolonged inflation so long as that process continues; and,
- in the end there has to be some sort of 'resetting of the Monopoly Board', and that likely have to be done through a 'deflationary period' process.
Mr. Pento does not venture a specific opinion as to whether in the longer term world inflation or deflation is likely to occur. That is sensible on his part, given the seemingly limitless number of permutations and combinations of things that might happen in our ever more complex economic world going forward. His views are very relevant to short term changes that can be observed and acted on in an investment/trading environment.
You ought to read Mr. Pento's article, this commentary, and everything else you can get your hands on - then reach your own conclusion(s) with respect to the likelihood of an inflationary or deflationary environment as things unfold.

Just for today…I am renaming this website…A Couple ofGood Things by Jillee. When I saw these two good ideas involving brown paper lunch bags…I had to find a way to put them together. It might be a stretch…but here it is.
We stopped buying microwave popcorn more than a year ago now. Microwave popcorn (much like brand name laundry detergent) makes the rip-off detector in my brain go berzerk!
Kerry at SquawkFox.com did the math (thank goodness!) and figured microwave popcorn costs around $22.65 for 12 boxes with 3 packets per box (source Amazon) — that's an eye-popping$3.53 per pound! Compare that to the .50 cents a pound you pay for popcorn purchased in bulk…and it's insanity I tell you! Especially when you can microwave it just the same in the good old paper lunch sack.
Here are the ridiculously easy instructions:
- Get a brown paper lunch bag.
- Add a 1/2 cup scoop of popcorn kernels to bag.
- Fold the bag over twice.
- Stick the bag in the microwave.
- Set it for 3 minutes on high…..BUT…STOP the microwave when the popping slows to one to two pops per second to avoid burning.
- Add topping of choice.
I personally like the classic butter and salt application….but you could shake things up by adding different sweet or savory toppings. A little chili powder and hot sauce for a Mexican flavor…or onion powder and garlic salt are always a good combo…you could even go for a little cinnamon, sugar and butter action! Oh man, now we're talking! I am definitely going to try that!
You could take the whole DIY microwave popcorn idea a step further and decorate the bag you use to pop it in! Maybe for a party…or for a treat to give to friends or neighbors?
Lindy at CottageHill.com has another super simple idea (Good Thing #2) PRINTING on your brown paper lunch bags!
But before I continue…a disclaimer. Printers can be temperamental and I can't guarantee this will work in yours. It worked for me (after a few mangled attempts) and hopefully it will work for you too. ;-) Cuz it's just such a darn cute idea!
It really couldn't be any easier…simply change the paper setting on your printer to 5″x10.5″ — the same as the bag, then just feed them in one at a time. It helped my printer if I gave it a little nudge at the very beginning when it was trying to catch ahold of the paper. I mangled the first couple…but after that it worked fine!
The beauty of this idea is that you can use these fun paper sacks for LOTS of things besides just popping popcorn. Lindy at Cottage Hill likes to deliver her fresh eggs in them to her neighbors so she made some simple cuts and added a little glue to create a cute little basket!
Since I don't have any chickens…I think I will make some chocolate chip cookies to put in them instead. :-) I even found a cute little saying on Pinterest (via Thirty Handmade Days) to print on them! (If you want to stick with the classic black ink look…just change the color setting to "Grayscale" when you go to print).
Who knew you could have so much fun with a brown paper bag!?
Not me….until now! :-)

Butte Lab
Mechanobiology and Immunology:
From T cells to rare diseases.
Basic Science
Our lab addresses fundamental and translational questions in immunology.
The fundamental focus of the lab blends our interests in mechanobiology (how cells make and sense mechanical forces) and regulation of the immune system in autoimmunity, cancer, and infection.
The clinical and translational focus is on understanding the basis of rare diseases of the immune system. We are also developing diagnostic technologies for low-cost monitoring of immune health and improving the diagnosis of food allergies.
Understanding how mechanical forces and cytoskeletal controls influence immune responses
We are fascinated by the interactions of immune cells with one
another and with the extracellular matrix around them.
The ultimate aim of our laboratory is to manipulate T cell signaling pathways to control immunologically-mediated diseases.
Understanding the causes of primary immunodeficiencies
We believe that understanding the genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of immune diseases offers the opportunity to develop targeted therapies. The lessons we learn from patients with primary immunodeficiencies extends our knowledge of the infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers that affect all people.

Acquiring an industrial 3D printer is only a part of a 3DP strategy. Finding the right talent to use the technology in ways that fit a company's strategy could be the bigger part.
Manufacturers are on track to re-train its existing workforce or are drawing in new talent with the skills to create digital designs as well as oversee the printing production. Clearly, as there is no one 3DP production strategy, there's also no one 3DP talent strategy.

Tricky trend: go military-chic in camouflage pants
February 19, 2013
Lately, camouflage pants are a huge hit on runways, and trend reports have predicted the military look for several seasons to come. While camo pants can make for a unique look, military style can either a hit or a complete flop. Here are some tricks and tips for a military-chic look that you don't have to be a soldier to pull off.
|Day: Camouflage pants naturally emphasize masculinity. For an even more masculine look, add a metallic colored bomber jacket. Also army-inspired, a bomber jacket is another keeper for this upcoming season. Add some fun into your look and go wild with color. You can find a bomber jacket in a number of colors like gold, silver and black, but metallic blue will keep your style both edgy and suave. Keep the hair chic and cool with a Brit-rock indie comb over.
|Night: If it's a special night, try a camouflage suit. This style is trendy and clean, and it is easy to style it perfectly. Keep your shirt simple in design and color with an appropriate tie. Black is an easy choice for both shirt and tie, and metallic details will highlight your sense of fashion. Add volume to your hair with mousse or hairspray, and you are ready to go.
|Day: Skinny camouflage pants can look effortlessly sexy, so keep it simple. Throw on a neutral-toned shirt or a blouse — collarless, if you want to follow the current minimalist trend. In the early spring it can be a bit cold, so don't forget a denim jacket to keep you warm. Sandals like ankle straps and T-straps are simple and chic. Keep your hair and makeup natural to match the effortless look. Style your hair for a simple, cute daytime look.
|Night: A pop of color for the night out is a must — switch from denim to a bright colored blazer. A variety of choices can work, from yellow to pink to mint-turquoise. You can also change the top to a lacey blouse or a metallic tank top for a more elegant style. Take off the sandals and grab a pair of classic mid-heels or metallic-detailed ankle boots. Add boldness to your look with dark or glitter-based eye shadow, or add a bright color to your lips. Then untie your braids and let your wavy locks flow all night.

FIFA Slashes Referee Numbers For 2006 FIFA World Cup
In a surprising move on Friday, FIFA announced just 23 referees have been selected to officiate games at the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2006 Germany.
The 23 referees come from 23 different countries, a reduction of more than 35 percent from the 36 and 34 referees assigned to the 2002 and 1998 tournaments in Korea/Japan and France, respectively.
The drastic reduction in overall numbers means a number of top referees were not selected for the World Cup in Germany, including highly-regarded European officials Terje Hauge of Norway, Claus Bo Larsen of Denmark and Alain Sars of France, as well as Kevin Stott of U.S. Soccer. Stott has been a FIFA-sanctioned referee since 1995 and officiated at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru and at the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He remains age-eligible for future consideration.
The 23 referees for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany:
Essam Abd El Fatah (Egypt)
Carlos Amarilla (Paraguay)
Benito Archundia (Mexico)
Carlos Batres (Guatemala)*
Massimo Busacca (Switzerland)

The technology has already been demonstrated powering a high-definition TV.
MobileWise says it is talking
to office furniture manufacturers about building the pads into desktops.
"It'll take a few years for it to become pervasive, but in certain markets such as [mobile] phones we think it will have a significant share of the market within two to three years," said Izhar Matzkevich of MobileWise.
"You'd be able to power devices wherever you go."
A British competitor, SplashPower, has a similar mat called a SplashPad. The difference is that SplashPads use
inductive, rather then conductive, electricity - the pads don't need metal contact points and don't have to touch the appliances. The principle is similar to the electromagnetic power transfer used in rechargeable electric toothbrushes.
The big limitation with both the MobileWise and SplashPower products is that the pads still have to be plugged into an
ordinary power point.

Serious funding shortfalls have left a leading charitable health centre caring for the terminally ill £300,000 in the red.
Figures revealed exclusively by the Keighley News this week show Manorlands hospice needs more than £1 million in the next year just to maintain its vital services, and a further £200,000 to cover its entire operational costs.
Despite the generous backing of supporters, the Oxenhope Sue Ryder home is struggling to fund its invaluable community work. Last year's contributions totalled just over £900,000.
Today, we are joining forces with Manorlands to launch a massive fundraising appeal.
We are asking kind-hearted readers to dig deep to smash the £1 million barrier during the next 12 months.
Once that figure is reached, we hope to be able to push on towards the magic £1.2 million mark, which will pay for all the wonderful care given to desperately ill district residents in the final few weeks of their lives.
We know this is a big ask in such difficult financial times, but Manorlands relies heavily on voluntary contributions to fund its services. And Keighley News readers have proved time and again over the years just how generous they can be in supporting those in need.
Manorlands palliative care services manager, Lizzie Procter, said: "Thanks to the fantastic support of the local community, we've been able to provide incredible care at the hospice for almost 40 years.
"Whilst the money raised year in, year out is a true testament to the fantastic generosity of our supporters, the harsh truth is we are still not raising enough to meet the costs of providing our services.
"We are extremely grateful to the Keighley News for joining forces with us to raise awareness of this issue, and we're confident that by working together with the local community, we'll be able to raise the £1.2 million needed this year."
Manorlands provides specialist palliative care and treatment in the hospice – or at patients' homes – for people suffering from life-limiting illnesses, and also supports their relatives during what can be a traumatic time.
People are being urged to get behind the appeal in whatever way they can – by taking part in some of the many activities staged by the hospice's fundraising team and supporters, by organising their own events or by simply making a donation. Every pound raised will go directly towards the Sue Ryder home.
Keighley News editor, Richard Parker, said: "We appreciate we're talking about a huge sum of money.
"Many of our readers will be facing their own financial problems this year, but this is such a vital cause. There can't be many people living locally who haven't been touched by the wonderful service Manorlands provides, and it's essential we do all we can to support the team's work."

"... expected summer availability of the Annex F voice component of a free, opensource, H.323 stack based upon the Linux operating system and Win32."
"This is the beginning of creating real customer value by providing developers around the world usable, open source, non-proprietary building blocks for developing voice, video, and data products and solutions," said Alan Knitowski, president and CEO of Vovida Networks Inc."
"H.323 is a suite of protocols used by Internet telephony products, and selected by the major telcos as one of the protocol standards for the future of Internet telephony. In line with the model of the increasingly popular Linux operating system, the source code will be available for download via the Internet free of charge."
"Once this preliminary implementation is commercially available, it can easily form the basis of an entire family of open source Internet conferencing and telephony products."

The Jacki Scarf is a one-color scarf that is part of the lessons on my craftsy.com class - Explorations in Brioche Knitting.
This scarf is a variation of the strong diagonal line that was worked in the Jacki Scarf, plus a second color is added.
I used LéttLopi by Lopi Yarns, an Aran weight, rough Icelandic yarn, because I really liked the luscious turquoise color that Ragga used in her Topdown Icelandic Sweater craftsy class. This yarn knits up beautifully but will be scratchy when worn directly next to the skin, so beware.

ST. PETERSBURG — Carl Crawford's legs, and the major-league record-tying six bases he stole with them, were the hot topic in Sunday's 5-3 victory.
But it was the other things the Rays did — how they moved runners, scored runs and got outs — in taking the third of four games from the Red Sox, and winning their first series since opening week, that has them confident they're — finally — off and running.
"It definitely was a big series for us," Crawford said. "Hopefully, it's the start of something."
What the Rays accomplished was important, in terms of improving their record (11-15) and increasing their confidence, while reminding the Red Sox — as if a 5-2 mark against them weren't enough — that they're going to remain a threat.
"We just took three out of four from a pretty darn good team," closer Troy Percival said.
More significant was how.
First, they played with more intensity. Whether it was a product of the competition, as some players said, or the large Tropicana Field crowds, as manager Joe Maddon strategically suggested, it's something they have to maintain, especially in a rugged stretch that includes upcoming visits to New York and Boston.
"We just have to come out and play with that fire every night," shortstop Jason Bartlett said. "You saw that last year, and for some reason we haven't had that lately. If it's the Red Sox that puts that fire under us, then so be it. We need it right now."
Second, they played more what they consider their kind of game.
"It's starting to get back to a more familiar feel around here," Percival said.
The starting pitching was good, with James Shields, despite a 30-pitch, bases-loaded-one-out mess of a first, making good use of his rediscovered changeup and working solidly into the eighth.
The bullpen got the outs when it mattered, Dan Wheeler cleaning up after J.P. Howell allowed Kevin Youkilis' two-run, two-out homer in the eighth, and Percival cruising through the ninth with his first 1-2-3 inning of the season.
And they scored the old-fashioned way, working hard, running free as they set a team mark with eight steals and executing well.
They broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth when the invaluable Bartlett brought in Ben Zobrist from third with a broken-bat single — "Whatever it takes," Bartlett said — then went hard into second on Michel Hernandez's grounder, preventing a double play and allowing Akinori Iwamura to score.
And after the Sox closed to 4-3 on Youkilis' homer in the eighth, the Rays hustled to another run. Bartlett singled, went to second on Hernandez's bunt, then made a huge play — "the big one," Maddon said — by stealing third with two outs. He scored on Crawford's infield single, the fourth hit of his remarkable day.
"This is the kind of baseball that we know how to play, and if we can get back to that we're going to win a lot of ball games," Shields said. "I think our team realizes playing small ball like that is what we're all about. … I think the way we've been playing, we've been trying to go for that big hit. Hopefully we start to realize how we won this ball game and keep it going."
"It's just good baseball," centerfielder B.J. Upton said.
The Sox (15-10), predictably, shrugged off the lost weekend. "I think everyone is over this," second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "I don't think anybody's hitting the panic button because we got beat three out of four."
Maddon religiously downplays the significance of any single game but allowed Sunday that it was important to win this one, ending a six-series losing streak.
He attributed the improved play to several factors: increased intensity and improved attitude, the chance to come home after the long road trip and play without the "distractions" of nightly award ceremonies, and the energy they get from the "rabid avid fan base" at the Trop.
"I think what you saw three out of the last four days," Maddon said, "was more reminiscent of what we're supposed to look like."

From inundating feeds with pictures of food, pets, feet (fugly toe nails, too), clouds, selfies and other random things, our celebs are in a frenzy while they go clickety-click on instagram. Looks like these guys have now made it their favorite hobby, clicking day and night. Well, I am on Instagram too and guilty, but what the hell! We do agree Celebrity Instagram accounts provide us an insight on what their personal lives look like, but some of them really need to stop abusing the app:
Alia Bhatt
9 out of 10 pics in her profile are of Alia coochie coo-ing her pets. Okay babe! We do understand your love for animals, and the kid in you. But hey! Don't you think you are getting a little too kiddish? We mean, kiddy-kiddish!
John Abraham
Looks like our Jonny boy has taken the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it!", a little too seriously. I mean, just look at his profile on Instagram. It's so full of himself working out. Well John, it's no secret you love your body. We love it too. But..a little variety maybe? Pics with..ahem..Priya maybe?
Priyanka Chopra
Somebody tell Priyanka that she needs to STOP pouting. Even 15 year old girls have moved on to a more annoying picture pose (hands on hips and head tilted, in 200 different dresses and angles). Heck, even Alia Bhatt barely has any pouty pictures. Yaar Priyanka, no denying you look gorgeous in all your pics (even the dressed down ones), but we will break our keyboards on our heads if we see any more pouts!
Abhishek Bachchan
Selfless, sacrificing Abhishek. The best part of Abhishek's instagram account are those gorg pics of Aishwarya. While other actors post pics from sets and with their co-stars, Abhishek, whose movie kitty is as full as a broken dahi handi, takes pics with trophies and stadiums. Not a very good idea, Sir ji.
Nargis Fakhri
Those lips. While she posts pics with friends and some quotes, all you end up actually noticing are those lips. She doesn't make it easier on us by posting so many shots of her face either.
