On the occasion of my very first post on EJIL:Talk! – at the invitation of its editors – on the current duality of government in Côte d'Ivoire (see here), I have deemed it necessary to post a separate note on the "art" of legal blogging, for this topic has hardly been discussed on this experts' blog in its first two years of existence (compare. with the debate held by the on-line platform of the Yale Law Journal). Moreover, the criticisms of which I have been the object for an earlier on-line opinion have also convinced me that some circles of our professional community have not yet completely assimilated the idea of blogging on issues of international law. While blogging on current (legal) developments undoubtedly remains a hazardous exercise which one should engage with the greatest care (if not with the greatest self-restraint), I would like to shed light on some of the virtues of blogging as well as the common misunderstandings at the heart of the objections still raised against legal blogging. I hope that these – inevitably cursory – considerations – which exclusively zero in on experts' blogging – will help pursuing a healthy debate about the pro's and con's of bloggership.
1. Legal blogging and its detractors
In some strands of the international legal scholarship, many still resent blogging – and hence tend to despise those who engage in blogging – for two main reasons. First, legal blogging is scorned for the superficiality of the analyses and the half-baked ideas it disseminates. Second, it is berated for disinhibiting scholars and bolstering their disregard of the – unwritten – codes and hierarchies of the profession.
These two objections are surely not ill-founded. Indeed, posts on legal blogs often are quickly written notes on current legal developments without much critical distance and replete with unfinished thoughts. Likewise, posts on legal blogs allow direct confrontations between legal scholars at odds with the traditional non-confrontational debates conducted by the intermediary of international law journals. Yet, these criticisms rest on a misunderstanding of what legal blogging is all about and, more fundamentally, a negation of the cultural evolution witnessed in the international legal scholarship over the last two decades. First, as I will argue below, legal blogging is neither meant to be proper legal scholarship nor does it seek to replace it. Posts on blogs do not claim to be long matured thoughts benefiting from hindsight. They are simply and modestly meant to be informative. This is the first main virtue of legal blogging. As to the second objection, it seems to stem from a more fundamental ignorance as to how ideas are formed, exchanged and discussed in the contemporary international legal scholarship. Nowadays, the fora of our scholarly debates have ceased to rest exclusively with the non-polemical, non-confrontational, aseptic and cozy framework offered by international law journals. Instead, scholarly debates are multifold and ubiquitous. They are taking place everywhere, all the time and in various forms. Scholarly debates have even ceased to be accidental. Differences of opinions are no longer stifled or concealed but they are consciously unearthed. Debating – and the culture of the critique that comes along with it – are now an integral part of the activity of being an international legal scholar. Debate has become an essential component of the production of legal thoughts. Ideas are no longer mulled over for years in an – often dusty and messy – isolated study and kept secret until the day of their solemn revelation through publication in a top-tiered international law journal. While still being the product of a long individual cerebral effort, ideas are now shared, tested and further refined through peer-to-peer experimentation at an earlier stage of the scholarly thought-making process. This is not to say that international legal scholars are – and should be – pursuing debate for the sake of the debate and systematically rushing to the professional agora as soon as they come with what they perceive as an original or refreshing idea. Ideas need not to be hastily disseminated among peers before they are ripe. And broadcasting them through conventional law journals or books remain the best means to secure formal ownership thereon. Yet, legal scholars of the 21st century have grown more faithful in the Socratic virtues of the exchange of ideas which they now see as instrumental in the mutual development and sharpening of legal thinking as a whole. Eventually, thanks to the new means of transfer of knowledge, scholarly debates have simultaneously undergone a process of deformalization. Lack of seniority no longer bars access to the experts' debate and the implicit hierarchies of the profession have ceased to constitute compelling barriers to the expression of disagreement. Legal blogging has been both the cause and the consequence of these fundamental changes in the debating culture – and the thought-making process – of the international legal scholarship of the 21st century. Bemoaning the existence of experts' legal blogging among international lawyers boils down to an atavist negation of the cultural upheaval that has unfolded in the international legal scholarship over the last 15 years.
2. Legal blogging and its hazards
Not all the arguments of the detractors of legal blogging are erroneous. Legal blogging does not come without – serious – hazards: hasty treatment of the information, ephemeral and cursory writing, dissemination of half-baked ideas, superficiality of analyses, overly emotional reactions and all kind of impulsive expressions of thoughts which the author of a post may subsequently regret. Once written and thrown to the web, such ideas, emotions or statements ceased to be within its author's control. Because of the magnifying effect of the web, any misstep can then take very harmful proportions for its author. It is true that this is not different from ideas advertised through books or peer-reviewed articles. Yet, the pace of blogging is faster, the barriers almost inexistent and the audience much wider. The risk of hastiness and impulsivity – and hence of self-inflicted harm – is far greater when scholars are simply one mouse-click away from the global agora of the profession. Whilst the deliberative virtues of blogging lie precisely in such accessibility, legal blogging, if not sufficiently constricted to a community of experts or careful organized in clusters, can also contribute to the broadcast of non-experts opinions and convey self-reinforcing glaringly uninformed views. Eventually, legal blogging can also be seen as intensifying what I have called the proliferation of international legal thinking (see here) that has already long already affected conventional channels of legal scholarship. These dangers are well-known and have been discussed elsewhere (see this piece by Brian Leiter on the Yale Law Journal Pocket Part). It is not necessary to dwell upon them here.
3. Legal blogging and its virtues
Mindful of the abovementioned hazards of legal blogging, I have – I must confess: over time and gradually – come to the opinion that the cost of legal blogging is outweighed by two fundamental virtues, namely (a) the efficacious and rapid dissemination of information about current legal developments; and (b) the platform for debate within the profession which legal blogging offers.
a) Informative virtues
I construe legal blogging, first and foremost, as nothing more than journalism within the epistemic community concerned. It is meant to inform your peers of discoveries and new developments which they may have overlooked. As far as international law is concerned, it is undeniable that the world has turned so complex and – although in multiple ways – regulated that it has become an uphill battle for each of us to keep track of the factual and legal changes occurring on the international plane. In that sense, legal blogging is a medium which helps disseminate more massive and complex information. Moreover, it does so at an accelerated pace, for one no longer has to wait for the selective accounts of practice and case-law found in expensive and long overdue yearbooks. Dissemination of information is not only easier and faster. It is also made non-contingent on intermediaries, like editors of international law journals. If so construed, legal blogging is nothing more than journalism for experts by experts without intermediaries. It thus inevitably falls short of the critical distance that makes legal scholarship so unique and irreplaceable. It should accordingly not be considered as anything like legal scholarship. By the same token, even as regards its informative aspect, legal blogging should not be considered as politically neutral. It is uncontested that there cannot be an account of an event – be it factual or legal – devoid of biases and subjectivity. Yet, it has never been claimed that the information shared by virtue of legal blogging was objectively brought to our attention. Unearthing the "politics" of legal blogging should certainly not be neglected by the profession, especially as we turn more to blogs to glean information.
b) Deliberative virtues
Besides constituting an invaluable informative tool for the professional as a whole, blogging bolsters freedom of expression within the epistemic community concerned. Indeed, legal blogging allows scholarly debates to be no longer exclusively carried via distant and slow-reacting proxies (like international law journals). It simultaneously opens the scholarly debates to a greater number of experts, for it allows the entire profession to informally participate and exchange ideas in contrast with classical fora of debate which restrict – and carefully select – the happy few entitled to express their thoughts. Likewise, it often leaves room for a more informal tone and some humor – a welcome development in a rather stiff profession still beset by ancestry codes. This does not mean however that legal blogging should unravel the codes and hierarchies of the profession. It only does so as far as scholarly debates are concerned. Once we log out from such electronic platforms, we still have to make our way through the profession by abiding by its fundamental rules. And this should not be otherwise. Yet, if we can accept that some of these rules and codes be – temporarily – kept at bay to allow a global conversation within the profession, legal blogging could constitute the sign of an international legal scholarship growing more amenable, not only to the value of critique, but also to that of mutual enrichment.
There is one particular aspect of our debates which legal blogging can best accommodate. It is not contested that professional self-reflection constitutes one of the most important acquis of the various waves of criticisms endured by the mainstream international legal scholarship in the second half of the 20th century. The sociological enquiries which originate in that – welcome – change of mindset in the current legal scholarship have yielded a new kind of sociological thinking in international law, more centered on the study of the dynamics of the profession than the examination of international law itself. While international law should remain the main focus of our cerebral activities, we should not bemoan this greater interest of international legal scholars in the sociology of the profession. Yet, legal blogging being, in my view, the platform for the global conversation of the profession, I see the blogosphere as a far better place than peer-reviewed journals to express our sociological findings about the profession.
4. Safeguards for a useful bloggership in the contemporary international legal scholarship
Confronted with the abovementioned hazards of legal blogging, it would tempting to say that we should simply beware them and resort to legal blogging with extreme care. Using a – coarse – metaphor popular among legal scholars – as is illustrated by the famous and oft-quoted car-analogies made by Herbert Hart or Ian Brownlie –, one could thus say that it is not because a car can travel as fast as the insane speed of 200 hundred miles an hour that we should not drive it (there actually are weightier environment-related motives to cut our use of cars). Well, this is as far as this unsophisticated metaphor can get. Indeed, the difference between cars and legal blogging is nonetheless that the latter can hardly be harmful to others, leaving aside distracting them from their work by deluging the web with half-baked thoughts. Most of the potential harms of blogging are borne by the author of the post alone. In that sense, it is all about personal responsibility. It is only if bloggership were to be seen as a makeshift legal scholarship that it could be detrimental to the quality of our debate. If more modestly construed as legal journalism and a platform for a conversation among experts as is argued here, blogging is not to be feared by the professional community as a whole.
Yet, even modestly construed as journalism for the profession as well as a platform for experts' debate, a few elementary safeguards, in my view, still needs to be erected if we want to ensure that the benefits of legal blogging continue to outweigh the significant hazards described above. The reason why I have long resisted blogging has primarily been the obliviousness thereof.
- Let me repeat once again that legal blogging should not be construed as an ersatz of legal scholarship: As Ann Althouse rightly put it: "Let be law journal be law journal and the blog be the blog". We should just not strive to make legal blogging resemble legal scholarship. Moreover, we should remain mindful that, to a very large extent, securing formal ownership of ideas still hinges on publication in traditional international law journals or books.
- Expertise must remain a passport to the legal blogging – and as said above, I am only concerned here with experts' blogging like EJIL:Talk! The determination of the membership – and thus the way in which we define expertise – surely is an extremely contentious issue. It carries the risk of reproducing the old hierarchies – and managerialism – which the blogosphere has helped overcome. It is undoubtedly a matter that should be actively and openly debated. It is nonetheless my conviction that experts' blogging must still have some elementary scholarly pretentions in terms of membership. EJIL:Talk! seems to have struck a good balance in this respect over the last two years and its editors should be praised for that.
- Under any circumstances, legal blogging should be used with self-restraint by the members of that community. Self-restraint is the best guarantee against overwhelming our poor – and underdeveloped if compared to nanoprocessors – human minds. Too much blogging simply kills legal blogging – as well as the reputation of those who abuse it. Not every idea, opinion or current development is worthy of a post.
- Because it is not proper legal scholarship, legal blogging should not be rewarded or count for career-advancement – although it may inevitably bear indirect positive effects in this regard. Nor should it be cited in scholarly work. It should just remain what it is, i.e. a global and informal conversation among professionals sharing their discoveries and their opinions.
- Even if bloggership should never be conflated with legal scholarship, there still is one overarching guiding principle which bloggership and scholarship should have in common: mutual respect. Indeed, there can be no Socratic mutual enrichment through debate – in my view one of the main tenets of the culture of our profession nowadays – without mutual deference. It is only as long as we mutually respect each other's thoughts – however different these may be – that we can continue to reap the informative and deliberative benefits offered by legal blogging. Hence, it is not legal blogging that should be feared but rather the institutional constraints, the ever-growing competition within the profession and the ever-mounting pressure on its members, for they tend to make us oblivious of this elementary premise of any scholarly debate.

Listening is an art to be practiced everyday
Wakefield, Quebec, Canada
"Hey, come on closer, I can't hear what you are saying"… dutifully I found my way into the ditch and up to the fence. I knew darn well they heard what I was saying, but clever darlings, wanted me closer so I could feed them the taller greens on my side of the fence.
I learned some time ago how devious they can be. As full of mischief, they are also softies if you are deemed a friend. Get on their bad side tho' and I would stay way clear. If they are working, and taking care of their flock… be warned, security checks can be quick and purposeful.
My visit was obviously on their lunch break. =^_^= I've been known to chatter away, wax poetically and find myself rewarded with big sloppy kisses. Of course a carrot or two in my pocket helped.
Lately I have found myself on back roads, where I have had the pleasure of a few encounters. Have you visited with a donkey lately? Aren't they a wonderful audience. You know they are listening even when they turn their backs.. scratch an ear, if you are lucky, you'll hear the donkey sigh, =^_*= (wink)
Enjoy every day, today, will lead you to tomorrow.
Blessings be… Oyashikiri
communication …… remember, it is not always what we say, but HOW we say it. after we speak, it is important to LISTEN
Sometimes, when the itch comes to put something down, you have no idea, what it is you are wanting to "say/see" You get out your paints, canvas or whatever it is you want to work with and you simply begin .
Through the years I have learned that what works for someone else, is not going to wonk for me. I have to listen to what is happening "inside my head" to believe that my instinct will guide me to what it is I need to express.
If you write, paint, draw, crochet, knit whatever it is you do to express your creativity, if try to force the flow, you are never happy with the results.
Now is now.. I will suddenly come to a halt.. I do not want to do anything else, not at the moment anyway.. When that happens, I know to stop and step back, and allow what has happened to "talk" to me, to identify itself to me.
Photography is the same way, I can take several pictures, of the same area, or object(s) yet when I review them, more often than not, it is the one I least expected to be "the" one, that will jump out at me.
Life is the very same.. every day we are presented with a new canvas, new opportunities, tomorrow I may or may not want to revisit this piece. Some expressions, speak to my spiritual side.. other times, I'm simply OK with the results, but I feel a satisfaction of having put colour into my thought process.
Tomorrow will be the start of another "today"… what colours will you put on your palette.
Whatever you do.. do it with a smile, put your whole heart into it. Make the most of NOW.
I am a writer of stories, but the art of telling the story, that is an art all on its own. Last night I gave myself a gift, I took myself off to a magical place, for an hour plus, I was transported to another world, and another time. The voice of the talented story teller from his virtual platform, took the audience to Lapland where a boy named Nikolas was orphaned, and how the villagers came together to look after the young boy. Last night was part 1 of Christmas Story (Joulutarina)
On the Seanchai libraries website, they explain… Seanchai ("Storyteller" in Irish) Library celebrates the Celtic tradition of stories told around the hearth or in the pub to friends, family, and welcomed strangers. Seanchai Libraries bring stories of all kinds to life, in Virtual Worlds: Second Life, InWorldz, & Kitely on the Open Metaverse. www.seanchailibrary.com
The story teller last night was Shandon Loring.
Do you have a picture in mind, of what Santa looks like, did you wonder which of the folk stories are "true" How did all this Santa Claus "stuff" all come about…. ?
Story telling is an "art" .. my time spent listening to Shandon last night, has me wanting to know more about the story he began telling us last night.
If you are interested, join us for his next reading. Next Thursday evening 7 pm. pacific time.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Hone your listening skills, enjoy the gifts the story tellers offer us.
When we journey beyond our day-to-day, we come across forgotten places, faded dreams of a yester-year. There are such places, that I can acknowledge and let pass. Two ships in the night. Other places shout out to me, calling for my attention. So we stop and I survey the land, the energy and "vibe" of the place. What is it that makes one location stand out from another.
Same stop, different camera angle. Maybe seconds have passed, maybe it was more like a few minutes. But in the fraction of time my gaze and attention was diverted. The light, the view was different. So it is in life. When first a challenge faces us, if we listen and take in what it is we are dealing with, our response and reaction will vary. If you are two people, arriving at the same time, seeing the same thing, neither of you, will see it the same way, sometimes close, and other times..totally different.
That is why communication, conversation is so important, if there is dialogue between two people, even between two energies, there is compatibility or there isn't. To be a good communicator, listening has to be one of your most used tools.
The place may seem empty, but…………. the reality is ………………………..it is alive with memories.

Good morning on yet another sun filled day. Going through my morning mail I had the pleasure of finding this beautiful piece of music. As I enjoyed the ambiance it surrounded me with, I thought about Ancestors' Day, in Perfect Liberty (PL) it takes place on the 11th of each month.
Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance se we can continue to live the PL Way. In today's world, it also embraces our friends, mentors,peers, all those who have through their interaction with us, have helped us understand life, and grow in a positive and meaningful way. This ceremony is performed every 11th. at 10 am. in the church. All ar welcome to join us.
Someone once wrote that they discovered that talking to people anywhere, whether on plans, trains, busses, standing in line at the supermarket,being open to listen, to share, smile… often turns into a valuable lesson.
When we live the PL Way,(with GOD) we always have the JOY and AWARENESS that is not affected by life's ups and downs.

Did you know that Office Live Workspace has a bulk uploader tool that lets you upload multiple files (documents, images, PDFs) from the local computer to your online Office Live account.
This is quite similar to the Flickr Bulk Uploader but a reason why most of us are unaware of this useful feature is because it is available only inside Internet Explorer, not Firefox.
There's a new "Multiple Documents" option under "Add Document" drop-down when using using Office Live Workspace inside IE – you can either drag-n-drop files from Windows Explorer to the uploader window or use the Browse function.
Office Live Workspace is now open for all and lets you store documents online directly from any Microsoft Office Program.

With a brace and a sharp auger bit, one has with many different kinds of tasks, better and more precise control over drilling a hole. There are also many woodworkers who know this, but do not often use this tool simply because they don't know how to sharpen auger bits. I wonder how often old, dull, but still good bits are thrown away because someone doesn't know how to sharpen these traditional bits or know exactly what tools are needed. In fact one needs only a special file, and a little practice to discover how simple it is to make old auger bits sharp and useful tools once more.
This special type of file is, usefully, called an Auger Bit File and has single-cut teeth on both ends of the tool. At one end, the wide flat faces have the teeth, and the edges are plain, with no teeth. At the other end, the edges have teeth and the faces are flat with no teeth. This is designed to allow one to work very precisely in one area, without grinding away nearby surfaces as well.

Reindeer Food
- small twist pretzels (antlers)
- red and green m&ms (red for rudolph's nose, green for the buttons on the elves' coats)
- any chex cereal (Santa's sack of toys)
- peanuts (reindeer need protein because they work hard all night long!)
Just mix in a bowl in whatever quantities you enjoy. This makes a nice Christmas morning snack along with fruit and our traditional pigs in a blanket. Serve with homemade hot cocoa!
Just for fun...
Christmas Seeds
I have never done this, but I read the idea years ago and thought it was cute... The night before Christmas, go outside with your children and "plant" unwrapped peppermints in the snow. (Or the ground if you have no snow.) After they go to bed, switch the peppermints for candy canes. Imagine their surprise the next morning! (If they want to do this every night, just remind them that it only works on Christmas Eve!)

Deal Castle was built on the orders of Henry VIII as an artillery fortress as part of a chain of such forts to defend the downs from the threat of invasion from the Catholic alliance of France and Spain during the mid-16th century.
It is one of the most impressive of the Device Forts being built by Henry VIII between 1539 and 1540 as an artillery fortress to counter the threat of invasion from Catholic France and Spain. It is shaped like a Tudor rose, being perfectly symmetrical, with a low, circular keep at its centre. Around the circumference of the keep are six bastions, as opposed to the five of Sandown and Walmer, with a further series of six bastions in the curtain wall, one of which serves as the gatehouse.

In origin, sonata referred to music that was 'sounded', not 'sung'. But in the eighteenth century it was applied to a particular form of composition that came to dominate almost all instrumental music. Sonata form occupies a central place in the work of the classical composers from Haydn to Mahler. It is to be contrasted with the polyphonic style of the preceding era; and it embodied the conventions against which later 'modern' styles were to react. It has two aspects - the division of compositions into a formal sequence of movements and the elaboration of homophonic harmony.
Sonata form had no single starting point. An early manifestation was Gabrieli's Sonata pian e forte (1597) for violin, cornett, and six trombones. But its codification into four set movements did not occur until the work of Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) of Bologna. It was developed in the keyboard compositions of C.P.E. Bach (17814-1788), and was brought to perfection by Haydn and Mozart. Its theoretical foundations were foreshadowed in J.P. Rameau's Traite d'harmonie(1722), but were not fully expounded until Carl Czerny's School of Practical Composition(1848), twenty years after the death of its greatest exponent - Beethoven.
Conventional sonata form divides the musical work into four contrasting movements. The opening Allegro, in fast tempo, has parallels with the operatic overture. The slow second movement grew out of the Baroque aria da capo. The third movement, usually minuet and trio, was based on the dance suite. The finale returns to a key and tempo reminiscent of the opening. Each of the four movements follows a standard pattern consisting of the exposition of the melodic subjects, their harmonic development, and , at the end their recapitulation, sometimes with a related coda or 'afterthought'.
Homophony is the opposite of polyphony,. It is characterized by music based, , like hymn tunes, on a progression of chords, whose constituent notes do note possess either melodic or rhythmic independence. Classical harmony, therefore, is the opposite of polyphonic counterpoint. The scene of J.S. Bach composing he 'Art of Fugue' (1750) in an empty church in Leipzig symbolizes the passing of the polyphonic era. The scene of Beethoven, weary but sublimated, struggling to complete his five last quartets, may be taken as the summit of homophony.
Beethoven considered hisQuartet in C sharp minor, Opus 131(1826), to be his finest work. In it, he expounds each of the elements from which the sonata form had grown- an opening fugue; a single theme scherzo;a central aria with variations; and a 'sonata within a sonata' on the inverted fugue. It has been called 'a cycle of human experience', and 'a microcosm of European music'. In the span 1750 to 18927, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven composed between them over 150 symphonies, over 100 piano sonatas, over 50 string quartets, and numerous concertos - all in sonata form. These works form the core of the classical repertoire.

This test complements the Protein S activity test by measuring the amount of Protein S present in the patient's plasma with an ELISA assay. Determining both Total and Free Protein S will identify which type of deficiency the patient has.
Similar to Protein C deficiency, Protein S deficiency will lead to inadequate/lack of degradation of Factor V and progression of pro-coagulant status. Protein S deficiency results from inadequate amounts of Protein S synthesis (type I), synthesis of defective Protein S molecules (type II), or inadequate amounts of the free form of Protein S, but normal total levels o f Protein S (type III) [Protein S exists in two forms – only free form can bind to APC and function as a co-factor.]

I finally got around to seeing the MoMA exhibit of the etchings of Lucian Freud. I had been hearing about him for some time – my wife considers him to be one of the greatest living painters – but up until yesterday, I'd sadly never had the opportunity to view his work up close. I'm still recovering.
A grandson of Sigmund Freud, Lucian has spent most of his life in England, where he continues to reside. Though he is most well known as a portrait artist, in particular for his "naked portraits", the exhibit focused on his etchings. The curator of the exhibit described Freud's work in this way:
"Often awkward and anything but idealizing, Freud's portraits are based on a frank scrutiny of his subjects and intense reflection on their human nature. Their uneasy presence extends from his 'horror of the idyllic' and his belief that art should be true to life – and therefore disturbing. He has said, 'I think of truthfulness as revealing and intrusive, rather than rhyming and soothing.'"
In other words, the man does not have an optimistic view of the world. It shows. He is interested in our defects, the scars and sweat of life, the bloody, animal side of things. His subjects often look diseased (which perhaps they are, in the Dorian Gray sense), reminiscent of the work of Egon Schiele. I couldn't stay in the gallery all that long.
Still, there is real beauty here. I don't just mean that Freud is a master of his craft, which he clearly is. I mean that there's something beautiful that happens when the real truth about ourselves is 'brought to light', that although exposure can bring shame, it can also bring freedom. And compassion. And forgiveness. Then again, maybe I shouldn't play art critic.
The exhibit runs until March 10th. Here are two self-portraits:

Here it is, folks. The last stop on the train line. The big dance. The old… win the flag… game. Whatever, when it's your last podcast for the year, you can write the witty copy. Leave me alone.
The final instalment of THE PRESSURE COOKER with CT & THE CHEF is here, and we wrap up season 2017 by sniffing out some Great Grand Final Moments™: From Rowdy Brown's aerodynamic mullet in 1990, to big Wynyard Lynch throwing hams in 2004. It's all there! All the great moments!
Cheers for listening throughout the year, gang! Maybe we'll be back next season. Maybe the world will be a smouldering crater floating aimlessly through the solar system. Who knows! It's a classic mystery.

Resetting Your HTC Panda Device
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all
active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is
also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to press the Reset button found on the bottom side of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
Using Clear Storage
Clear Storage lets you clear all storage data and reset all seetings back to manufacturer's default settings.
Warning: You will lose all your data when you use Clear Storage.
You can use Clear Storage by following these steps:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab, then tap Clear Storage.
2. Entering 1234, then tap Yes.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system
problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings ‑ the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you
installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your Device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs
will remain.
To perform a HTC Panda hard reset
1. Press and hold the left SOFT KEY and the right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom
side of your Device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen:
3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and follw the on-screen instruction to do the hrad reset:
• press the TALK green button on your Device to start the hard reset.
• press the OK button on your Device to complete the hard reset. If you won't continue the hard reset, then press END red button to quite
the procedure and the device will perform the soft reset automatically.
Warning! Your Device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before
a hard reset is performed.

The Homesman
Time Out says
The West is a grim place in Tommy Lee Jones's ineffective 19th-century oater, especially for Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank), a plain-looking Nebraska spinster unlucky in love, if stalwart in spirit. She can hold her own (or so it seems) among the gruff and/or lightly condescending men of her small frontier town. But three other women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter) aren't so lucky, their minds succumbing to the harsh realities of life on the American verge. Cuddy volunteers to take the mentally ill trio east to Iowa where they can be sent home to their families. She could use some help, though, and fate fortunately puts disgraced soldier and claim jumper George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones) in her path.
Thus begins a testy, unlikely friendship, one you feel you've seen multiple times before despite the best efforts of all involved. Jones, directing his second feature since 2005's The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, has an eye for sprawling Western landscapes, and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto gives the images the feel of burned-out daguerreotypes. Yet the script (which Jones, Kieran Fitzgerald and Wesley Oliver adapted from Glendon Swarthout's 1988 novel) shifts uneasily between tragedy and comedy: A woman throws her baby into the pit of an outhouse one moment, Briggs and Cuddy trade barbs like an open-range Tracy and Hepburn the next.
It doesn't help that Swank never finds a way into her gruff, stolid character or that Jones (mostly phoning in pitiable surliness) avoids delving very deeply into the story's protofeminist undercurrents—heavily obvious jibes against patriarchy in need of much stronger execution. Jones is on surer footing with the peripheral characters: Tim Blake Nelson brings some welcome nuttiness as a horned-up kidnapper. James Spader clearly relishes his two scenes as an officious hotel owner. (He and Jones positively crackle together.) And that grande dame of the American cinema, Meryl Streep, makes the most of her cameo as a preacher's wife whose kindliness is beyond practiced.

Unique inspiration. First impression was good. It's always easy to get my attention when a boyish look is being well executed by a girl. I will say that a cowboy hat outside of it's usual arena would normally read inauthentic and slightly obnoxious to me but this case was different. She pulled it off and made her own. Her subtle brooch perfectly united the look and gave a cute shout out to the bolo tie.

A massive thank you to Dan Stevens, my daughter Nikolle Medford, Jeff, Teegan Atherstone, Taliah Holder, Penny Hajinicolas, Alison Goodchild, Julie Mills, my sister Andrea Medford and her fiancé John Edwards, and of course Satty Mann who slept out with myself and my husband at the Queens Arms for our sponsored fundraising event.
We started the evening off with a BBQ before trying to settle down for the night. John got a fire going and it wasn't long before I found myself nodding off on my chair. My husband Joe and I, along with Penny and Satty, made up the best beds we could and settled down to sleep outside the pub on the pavement.
There definitely is safety in numbers, I would not have wanted to be out there on my own. It was really noisy, with the helicopter flying over and the buses going in and back out in the morning. I did manage to sleep in between turning over trying to get comfortable on the hard floor. We woke at 5.50am as it was light, had coffee, went in to the toilet and had breakfast – luxuries that people who are homeless do not have. God bless Avril, who came along to support us, slept on the sofa indoors and got up to make bacon sandwiches for us in the morning.
After clearing up, we got home for 8am. I was so glad to get into my bed! We slept for 4 hours before getting up and getting on with the day. I felt awful on Sunday from lack of sleep. I tried to imagine what it is like for people who have no choice about sleeping rough and have no home. To be tired all day, having nowhere to go, and knowing that every day will be the same with little or no home. We were blessed with a warm dry night. Imagine if it had rained!
Steve, known as Big Foot, joined us for the sleep out in the early hours of the morning. He has been sleeping rough for 14 months. I don't know how people survive out there…
Thank you to all who supported us and donated. You can still donate via Total Giving, New Beginnings Reading. Thank you to Tony Waysome, David Michael and his beautiful wife Siana Jane Taylor, Sarah, Carole and Frank, for coming along to support us on the evening.
We have raised a whopping £3800 so far between us! Julie Mills – you have smashed you target! Nikolle Medford has raised over £1000, IT TRULY IS AMAZING!
That is not all of the donations! THANK YOU! I will let you know our final figure. I feel sure we will reach and smash our £6k target! Every penny will go towards the rent and running costs of The Queens Arms alcohol free pub, serving the homeless and needy in Reading. The Community in Action, loving and helping each other.

Hey, Hey, Hey: How Cartoons Shaped a Generation
Growing up in the '70s, Loreen Williamson and Pamela Thomas always spent Saturday mornings watching their favorite cartoons—the "Jackson 5ive" and "Josie and the Pussycats."
At that time, those were just two of a small handful of cartoons that featured positive black characters that the girls looked up to.
The cartoons they watched as children stayed with them through adulthood, and they both began collecting memorabilia from those beloved shows, including hundreds of drawings and cels used in the animation and filming process. Eventually meeting over shared interests, Williamson and Thomas created the virtual Museum of UnCut Funk in 2007, an online showcase for original animation cels, posters, storyboards and other objects celebrating black culture of the 1970s.
That "funk" which inspired the two women so much in their childhood would eventually lead to a traveling exhibition, "Funky Turns 40: Black Character Revolution," which opens this week at the Pensacola Museum of Art.
The exhibit, co-curated by Williamson and Thomas, will feature memorabilia from 24 animated productions, including Saturday morning and after-school cartoons and animated feature films that featured positive black characters in the '70s.
Who would have thought that a rather large, albeit civic-minded, character on Saturday morning cartoons in the '70s would have such an impact today? Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, premiering in 1972 and ending in 1984, was the longest-running positive black cast Saturday morning cartoon series.
"Thomas and Williamson are cartoon aficionados, and 'Funky Turns 40' commemorates the 40th anniversaries of popular '70s Saturday morning cartoons that featured positive and realistic black characters for the first time in television history," the Museum of Uncut Funk's website said. "Fueled by the civil rights movement and the overwhelming success of black musicians and athletes during the period, television producers began to explore projects with a wide, multicultural appeal."
The museum's website said that shows like "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" paved the way for other black characters and shows featuring music icons, sports heroes and multicultural casts such as "The Jackson 5ive," "Josie and the Pussy Cats," "The Harlem Globetrotters" and "I Am The Greatest" featuring Muhammad Ali.
Shows like "Hardy Boys" and "Super Friends," which previously had overtly white casts, began to introduce positive black characters who worked side-by-side with their white counterparts.
"These shows helped empower a generation of children with cartoon role models who promoted family values, education, friendship, civic duty, personal responsibility and sportsmanship in fun, vibrant bursts of animation," the museum's website said. "Forty years later, the legacy of these cartoons pioneered the way for a new generation of black animation like "The Proud Family," "Little Bill," "Static Shock," "Fillmore" and "Doc McStuffins."
From 1900 to 1960, over 600 cartoon shorts featuring black characters were produced by some of Hollywood's greatest white animators and biggest film studios. These film shorts portrayed blacks in a racially derogatory and stereotypical manner with exaggerated features and ignorant dialect. In the 1950's, several of these racist cartoons were shown on television. As a result of the Civil Rights Movement, in the 1960's the racial content of many of these cartoons was edited out or the cartoons were pulled from television altogether.
It wasn't until the early 1970's that Saturday morning television cartoons started to feature image-affirming black animated characters with a modern look and positive story lines that delivered culturally-relevant messages. For the first time, black people like Bill Cosby and Berry Gordy led development of animated television programming featuring black characters, from concept through to art creation and production.
For the first time, black children saw cartoon characters that looked, talked and acted more realistically like them, such as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. For the first time, black children had cartoon role models who taught positive messages. Also for the first time, cartoons featured strong black female characters and multicultural casts.
"Black History Month is a time of celebration and an opportunity to highlight unique African-American contributions to art history," Pensacola Museum of Art Director of Curatorial Affairs Alexis Leader said. "The Museum annually honors these artistic achievements through exhibitions and exhibition-related programming. 'Funky Turns 40' commemorates the first positive black animation characters in television history."
A self-professed "star child" of the '70s, Thomas said that these cartoons are national treasures, as "they were seen by a generation of children and not only changed the way that black kids saw themselves, but the way white kids saw them, as well."
Leader said that to date, the exhibit has been viewed by over 100,000 people to an overwhelmingly positive response and the family-friendly and interactive exhibit has broad appeal while remaining culturally and historically relevant.
"The nostalgia in this exhibit is particularly high," Leader said. "Viewers will rediscover old friends from their Saturday morning cartoons, and new fans will be created. Visitors will be able to tour 60 pieces of original animation artwork, view cartoon clips, create their own original characters at the 'animation station' and pose for a photo as one of the Jackson 5ive."
Leader said that the cartoons on exhibit paved the way for black characters on television, and it certainly comes through in the exhibit.
"Animation is an engaging and universally-beloved medium," Leader said. "This exhibit utilizes that draw to highlight a unique and eye-opening element of black history within both art and pop culture."

By now, you should have a Facebook account, a LinkedIn account, possibly a Twitter account, Flickr, and YouTube. If you read blogs often, you certainly have a profile picture (or two), but…
…do you have a 3D presence? If not, maybe it's time to jump on this band-wagon too….why?
For a small subset of people (mostly people younger than myself), having a 3D persona on Second Life or other virtual worlds is common. If not in Second life, many video games offer the opportunity to create your own persona (My wife is constantly changing her hairstyle and outfit every time the family plays Rock Band). As recent trends in our industry show us: once something becomes popular in the gaming space, next comes Corporate America.

January 25, 1987, Section 5, Page 1Buy Reprints
BEFORE the National Football League season began in early September, a Super Bowl crystal bowl contest was conducted among sportswriters. Select the teams that will get to Super Bowl XXI, and the score of the game. In a rare moment of clairvoyance, this entry read:
Giants 28, Broncos 17.
Now that this matchup has materialized, it would be foolish to consider another result, or even another score. But to anyone who might be tempted to wager his house on that prediction, or even his doghouse, remember that it comes with the same no-money-back guarantee that accompanied the belief here that George Foreman would knock out Muhammad Ali in the first round in Zaire.
One difference, of course, is that the Giants have a better defense than Foreman had.
But to appreciate the heights these Giants have attained, consider the depths to which they had fallen eight years ago. Early in 1979, the Giants had no general manager, no coach and no quarterback. The co-owners' feud had flared publicly. And the fans were in mutiny. But one by one, this franchise has taken 10 Giant steps to Super Bowl XXI, one backward and nine forward.
On what looms as the most memorable day in Giants history, it's time for a reminder of how the Giants got here, beginning with that backward step during the 1978 season: 1. The Fumble. On what John McVay, then the coach, has called the ''most horrifying play in Giants history,'' Joe Pisarcik fumbled a handoff to Larry Csonka while trying to run out the clock. Herman Edwards of the Eagles scooped up the ball and ran 28 yards for a 19-17 victory. With that play symbolizing the ineptitude of the organization, three weeks later some fans decided not to take it anymore. 2. The Mutiny. At a meeting in a motel before that season's last home game, the Giants Fans Committee was formed. While the box office was counting 24,374 no-shows, a small plane flew over Giants Stadium, pulling a sign that read, ''15 Yrs. of Lousy Football We've Had Enough.'' Wellington Mara, the Giants' president, was hanged in effigy. On parking-lot grills, other fans barbecued tickets.
Asked later if he had seen the plane, Wellington Mara said, ''No.''
But he must have heard about it? ''Yes,'' he acknowledged he had heard about it. And what did he think about it? ''I didn't think,'' he said. Wellington Mara perhaps was too busy thinking of the silence that had split the family. 3. The Feud. Knowing the fans were behind him, Tim Mara, the co-owner, challenged Wellington Mara's right to hire a new coach. Tim Mara demanded that a general manager first be chosen to succeed Andy Robustelli, who had returned to private business. But the Maras couldn't agree on a general manager. They asked Commissioner Pete Rozelle to find a candidate.
Wellington insists that the Giants would be ''the same today'' if Tim had not insisted on a general manager first.
But without their feud, the Maras would not have stumbled upon the sculptor of their Super Bowl squad and coaching staff. 4. The Choice of George Young. In his first move as the compromise general manager, he selected the coach who would recommend the new quarterback. 5. The Hiring of Ray Perkins. His icy stare alerted the Giants players that losing would no longer be tolerated. 6. The Drafting of Phil Simms. With the seventh choice in the 1979 draft, the Giants named a little-known quarterback from Morehead (Ky.) State. When the selection was announced, the draftniks hooted. The draftniks had been hoping for Jack Thompson, the Throwin' Samoan from the University of Washington who had been taken by Cincinnati with the second choice.
But for all the criticism over the choice of Simms, Young and Perkins never flinched.
''When your fans know who the quarterback is,'' Young has said, ''they sleep better.''
So did the general manager, the coach and the co-owners, who still don't talk to each other. 7. The Drafting of Lawrence Taylor. With the second choice in the 1981 draft, the Giants wanted the North Carolina linebacker. But the weekend before, the New Orleans Saints, who had the first choice, inspected Taylor.
''I thought the Saints defensive staff had convinced Bum Phillips to take Lawrence,'' Young says now. ''But late the night before the draft, we learned the Saints were committed to taking George Rogers.''
The next morning, the Giants took Taylor, the anchor of the defensive unit developed by an assistant coach who had joined Perkins's staff that season and would succeed Perkins as head coach a year later. 8. The Hiring of Bill Parcells. Even before Perkins announced his sudden decision to depart to the University of Alabama after the 1982 season, Young promoted Parcells in order to maintain coaching continuity. Of all of Young's decisions, this one turned out to be the most important. And the best. 9. The Emergence of Joe Morris. Drafted behind Butch Woolfolk, he had three uninspiring seasons before he developed into an All-Pro running back. Since the start of the 1985 season, he has rushed for more than 3,000 yards. 10. The 66-3 Sweep. In routing the 49ers, 49-3, and dominating the Redskins, 17-0, in a wintry wind, the Giants lifted themselves to where they appear to be too strong to let the dangerous but sometimes scatter-armed John Elway prevent them from taking that 11th step, the one that will take them through the gates of Super Bowl history.
One small step for the team, one Giant step for the franchise.

Happy birthday, Frances Bean Cobain! She's 21 today, which means 21 years of being Courtney Love's daughter. Apart from the three years she got a restraining order against her, obviously.
We're obsessed with Courtney Love for a lot of reasons: she's funny, she's a feminist, she's a fashion icon (those nineties strappy dresses!) and she'd probably be a really good laugh on a night out (until about 11pm, when it'd all go off the rails).
But just imagine if she was your actual mum - she'd be rubbish at parent's evening, her advice would be all "Oh, just f**k it" for everything from boyfriend trouble to style questions and you'd be scared every time you went to a birthday party in case one of the many, many people mum had feuded with was there.
So happy birthday, Frances Bean! Here are the 21 reasons we're obsessed by your mum ... but we're glad she's not ours.
1 She's very honest. On sleeping with Steve Coogan : "All it was, was a couple of shags at the Sunset Marquis [hotel in Los Angeles,] and I did not know he was Alan Partridge. I thought he was Tony Wilson in 24 Hour Party People – somebody I'd always had a daddy thing for. I had never seen Alan Partridge. But I was in a band with people who did know about Alan Partridge, so I had to make a record with them constantly saying to me: 'Back of the net!" she told Love magazine this year
2 She really loved Kurt Cobain . In his book, Everybody Loves You When You're Dead, celebrity interviewer Neill Strauss claimed Courtney wanted to snort her late husband's ashes, "with a metal straw"
3 She also claimed that she carried the ashes around with her, in an urn placed in a teddy bear backpack.
4 Courtney settles rivalries quickly. In 1995, Courtney was accused of punching rival and Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna in the mouth backstage at Lollapolooza. Frances recently claimed that Bikini Kill were one of her favourite bands.
5 She then went on to call rap group Cypress Hill "pothead p****es". They were so upset they talked about it onstage.
6 Courtney's got a long list of celebrity feuds. She's been mean to Gwen Stefani - in April 2010, on Howard Stern's radio show, Courtney claims she slept with Gavin Rossdale while he was dating Gwen (but before they married).
7 And in January this year, she said that Gavin was "the brains behind" Gwen's L.A.M.B clothing empire, adding: "I kind of envisioned that me and Gavin Rossdale would end up on the French Riviera, like, taking tennis lessons and f**king our respective polo teachers."
8 There was the Lily Allen Twitter fight, where she accused Lily of "taking coke in my house" - Lily strongly denied this
9 And the random row with Australian band The Veronicas, who she accused of wearing her stolen dresses after buying them online.
10 She even took on Sharon Osbourne , who claimed: "I will never have time for Courtney Love. My dislike towards her is very personal." Courtney fired back: "F**k you Sharon".
11 She tried to help Amanda Bynes ... kind of. She tweeted her: "Pull it together, dude" ... which didn't help. Amanda called her "ugly".
12 Courtney even tried to start a fight with Madonna on TV at the 1995 MTV Awards
13 TV's not always been a great place for Courtney - this (massively blurry) video shows Courtney trying to strip on telly in 1994. "I haven't shown my boobs for so long!" she claims. Then does it.
14 Oh, and she stripped off on stage at a gig in 2010. How many of your friends have seen your mum's boobs? Hopefully none.
15 In 2004, Courtney reportedly let a fan "suck her boob" in a fast food restaurant, Wendys. The fan went on to launch a music career off the back of the publicity. One of his songs was called "All I wanted was some chicken nuggets".
16 She's not bad at embarrassing Frances, either ... she once claimed that Kurt's (married) Nirvana bandmate Dave Grohl "tried to seduce" Frances. She responded: "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way. I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy."
17 Then Courtney claimed her ex boyfriend, Smashing Pumpkins star Billy Corgan was obsessed with her daughter, writing on Twitter: "I really think its truly creepy how jealous and obsessed w [Frances] he is GROSS."
18 On Howard Stern's radio show (again), she spilled a massive secret, claiming that Twilight wanted Frances to play Bella in the films. "When [Frances Bean] was 13 she was offered Twilight - she was offered [the role of] Bella in Twilight," she said. "That's a true story."
19 She lost custody of her daughter in 2009 and Frances got a temporary restraining order against her. In August 2010, Courtney had a mini meltdown on Twitter, telling Frances (among other things): "Please stop this madness over so much more money than your little self can comprehend."
20 However, Courtney does have a weirdly amazing daily routine. Last year, she revealed: "Every day I have my house manager, Hershey wake me up with a hot washcloth for my face, a leg rub, and a plate of toast soldiers. Then someone always gets chicken potpie and potato salad from D.D., you know, Dean & Deluca. If I can't afford D.D., I just don't eat."
21 Courtney's most recent triumph was going on a wild night out with two teen TV stars - Chris Zylka and Maddie Hasson - to the Chateau Marmont, Instagramming a load of 'porn poses' with them, then throwing up in a bush in front of cameras. Never change, Courtney.

I got the call the other day from my cousin–she's more like a sister than a cousin, really–that my Granny had fallen and was in the hospital for surgery. It's still too soon to tell what's going to happen, but as with many things like this in life, it put everything else in perspective. I started wondering why I moved 2000 miles away, why I didn't try harder to get a better job out here, what's really important in life, etc. etc. etc.
Then, as I was delivering folios tonight, and trying not to think about how bad my right knee chronically aches, I had a flashback. It was Honours Night at the end of my 9th grade year, and four of us freshmen were invited to be award recipients along with the other students, namely seniors. As the evening progressed, we realized we were each going to be recipients of "Freshman With the Highest GPA in ________ (fill in the blank: Math, Science, Social Studies, and English)." Before I figured out why I was there, one of the other three told me I had to be the English recipient. Granted, this was more process of elimination on her part than recognition of my stunning ability to write, but still. Our freshman class had been the largest to ever enter the high school, so it was very humbling and seemingly impossible that I'd be considered the best English student of all the hundreds of us. I still think it had more to do with luck than ability, but that award has meant more to me and defined my life more than I like to let on.
My thoughts right now: I'm glad I put in the time and effort to finish my English degree. Even if it gets me nowhere in particular, I had a ball learning more about myself and the human experience than any sort of spoon-fed literature, and grammar will always be confusing to everyone on one level or another. I know I'm not the only one in a less-than-hoped-for occupation right this minute, nor the only one who's concerned about his 97-year-old Granny on the other side of the country. Life is funny that way: We like to pretend to think we have all the answers, but we never, ever do.

From Business Standard
Pradipta Mukherjee / Kolkata September 26, 2007
XLRI Jamshedpur, the school of business and human resources, plans to offer a number of courses this fiscal for senior and middle-level managers.
The B-school, for instance, has designed a course for executives and owners of large- and medium-sized enterprises that are in the process of expanding their operations overseas.
According to XLRI officials, there are many instances that led to the designing of the course — the recent ones being the takeovers of Arcelor and Corus by Mittal and Tata Steel, respectively.
Christened "Challenges of Internationalisation: Risks and Strategies", the course has been designed to meet the HR and management challenges faced by companies planning overseas expansion.
The programme will focus on understanding the challenges of globalisation that Indian businesses face when venturing abroad. This will involve risk assessments of the economic, political, technological and cultural factors to draw up appropriate winning strategies.
According to XLRI, strategies which make a business successful at home are, many a time, redundant in the new environment.
After assessing the environment, the participants would be better equipped to devise strategies for globalisation of their businesses, tailoring the capabilities and resources of their organisations to meet the challenges that may lie ahead. The focus will be on China, India's primary competitor in Asia.
XLRI has also lined up courses for analysts, traders, fund managers from corporate treasuries, banks, funds, and executives in brokerage houses.
In its introductory course this December on derivatives, the focus will be on understanding the design, pricing and usage of derivatives in general and futures, options and swaps in particular.
According to XLRI, this course would also look at the characteristics of the markets in which these instruments trade and the nature of the players in the market.
The fees of the courses will range between Rs 15,000 and Rs 30,000. The duration of these programmes will be between two days and one month, depending upon the variety, magnitude and complexity of topics covered.

Other volunteers call him a hero, but he says he just wants to get people's minds off of the tragic situation.
"It makes me feel sad, but I don't like to show it, so if I keep a smile on my face, I can bring a smile to others," Stephens said.

Another good mystery by G.M. Malliet. Like the first book in this series the plot was very interesting and the characters were very well written. The ending was extremely surprising. I did not think that the murderer was the person it turned out to be. I also liked the relationship between St. Just and Portia, it showed a softer side of him.
A bunch of mystery writer's in a Scottish castle during a snowstorm. What could go wrong?
