I feel I have been neglecting my blog duties recently but I assure formalwear aficionados it's for a good reason: I have finally got around to writing a book proposal for a print version of The Black Tie Guide.
Back in 2006 when I first conceived of the Guide I was torn between pitching it as a book and posting it as a web site. When I realized how much work would have to go into a professional book proposal my impatient tendencies won out and I opted for the immediate gratification of an online version. That choice was the best of both worlds because it allowed me to take as much time as needed write the book while sharing the results of my research as I progressed. Thanks to the immediate and global reach of the internet I've been able to help a countless number of men during the process . . . even if some of the early advice was less than expert.
The only concern I had was that the book would lose its potential value to publishers if its content was freely available to anyone with an internet connection. However, as the Guide grew to a 90,000-word opus it became clear that the web works best as a quick reference tool. When it comes to comprehensive reading, sitting back with a traditional printed book will always trump hunching over an eye-straining computer screen.
Furthermore, the Guide's topic is perfect for a glossy coffee-table book treatment. What better way to capture the timeless elegance of black-tie charity galas, formal evening weddings and red-carpet glamour? This is evident in the above mock-ups I created to determine how the web site could best be adapted into an oversized hardcover format. (It was an interesting process as the unlimited-length, single-page structure of a web site is quite different from the fixed-length 2-page spread that defines a printed book.)
So, six years after my original dilemma I finally have a proposal ready to be pitched to potential publishers. I'm glad I waited because I'm in a much better position now thanks to the subsequent success of the Guide which is getting over 55,000 visitors a month, has been cited by other authors and will soon be included in a syllabus for a University course on costume design. Best of all, a leading menswear authority has endorsed the book. Hopefully this minimize the number of rejection letters that will invariably follow.
Although I have assembled a list of applicable publishers, if you know a non-fiction publisher who would like to issue a bestseller just in time for the Christmas gift-giving season and the global surge of tuxedo interest that will inevitably accompany the release of the next James Bond film in November, please ask them to contact me at peter_at_blacktieguide_dot_com. The same goes for literary agents or cross-promotional retailers that would like to get in on the action.
Just as importantly, if you are personally interested in buying such a book please indicate so in the comments below. That's exactly the kind of sales potential a publisher will be looking for!
An update on this venture can be found in a separate post here.

Fashion maverick, Designer , marketing guru and now photographer Shawn Lloyd gives a sneak peek of one of his newest projects that will definitely be a must have for all fashionistas. The "Labels" coffee table book will for surely be an page turner with all the brand eye candy- that pops right out at you in what seems like 3-D color! Shawn Lloyd has accumulated thousands of photos of luxury and sportswear labels (all from his widely extensive collection) and highlighted the item on the garment -which he says- has the biggest significance because of what it represents and encompasses. Everything the brands image portray is in that small tag on the back of your shirt, yet so small in detail, sometimes it is overlooked.. The idea was to make the label tag the model and create a mood with each shot. The book is set for release in the first quarter of 2011 in limited edition hardcover and paperback copies.

Producer Eric S. Goldman has announced that Emma Hunton (Spring Awakening - Broadway; Rent - Off Broadway; Next to Normal - First National Tour) will be joining Max von Essen in the two industry readings of Billy Butler's GAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, on Monday, February 4th at 6pm & Tuesday, February 5th at 11am at the 45th Street Theatre, in preparation for a future Off-Broadway run. The readings are produced in association with aka Studio Productions, Louis Hobson and Seattle's Balagan Theatre. The production is directed by award winning director Rachel Klein. Aaron Grant serves as Executive Producer with Kelvin Productions as General Manager.
Emma Hunton was an original cast member of the show in 2009. Composer Billy Butler commented that "Emma rocked NYMF in 2009 as our angst-ridden-little-goth-chick, Edna. Since then she has gone on to show that she is a force to be reckoned with. I'm excited to see her back in the role tailor made for her!"
In addition to Hunton & Von Essen (Evita, Les Miserables, Dance of the Vampires & the internet sensation Submissions Only), the cast includes fellow Broadway stars Jason Gotay (Bring it On - Broadway & National Tour), Ashley Kate Adams (La Cage - Broadway & National Tour) &Billy Tighe (Wicked - National Tour, La Cage - National Tour).

Written by Dane E. Leeman (book) & Billy Butler (book, music & lyrics), GAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is a rock n'roll fairy tale that follows the exploits of four college friends on one fateful Halloween night at a very unconventional Monsters Ball. This ensemble driven horror-tinged musical is a universal tale about coming of age, coming out of the closet & coming back from the dead.
Originally produced as a workshop at The Players' Ring in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, GAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN'S journey includes a developmental production as part of the 2009 New York Musical Theatre Festival & the inaugural iStar Theatre Lab, July 16 through August 5, 2012, in New York City, which was also directed by Rachel Klein. As with the 2009 NYMF production, these upcoming industry readings are cast by Daryl Eisenberg.
Billy Butler (Book, Music & Lyrics) is an award winning actor & director who was honored for "Excellence in American Theatre" by the New England Theatre Council, along with his colleagues, Gary Garrison (President of The Dramatists Guild) & Oscar-winning screen writer Ernest Thompson. He is a founding member of New Theatre Works & produced the GAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN original workshop cast recording.
Rachel Klein is a theatre director, choreographer & costume designer. Recent credits include the Mondo Cane Dance Commission from Dixon Place to create her dance & circus nightmare-scape, Symphony of Shadows & the critically acclaimed morbid fantasia, The Tragedy of Maria Macabre. Miss Klein received nominations from the Innovative Theater Awards for Outstanding Director of a Play & for Outstanding Choreography/Movement for the aerial musical spectacular, Circus of Circus at the House of Yes in Brooklyn. Previous artistic residencies include a monthly event at Bowery Poetry Club & an Emerging Artist's Residency to build new work through the Field & the Tides Foundation. Miss Klein's work with her company, the Rachel Klein Theater Ensemble, has been presented all over NYC including The Kitchen, La MaMa, Theater For The New City, DUMBO Dance Festival, Night of 1000 Stevies, HOWL Festival, Off-Broadway at 45 Bleecker Street & many others.
Producer Eric S. Goldman has more than 20 years of experience as an entertainment attorney & has counseled many Tony Award winners as both production counsel & artists' representative. In addition to Broadway & Off-Broadway projects, he has repped producers & artists internationally in London, Sydney, Tokyo & China & acted as counsels for non-profits Northlight Theatre (Chicago), Blank Theatre (LA),Phoenix Theatre (Phoenix) & Active Theatre (NYC).

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): We Are One by Cam Clarke/Charity Sanoy/Ladysmith Black Mambazo [Lion King 2: Simba's Pride soundtrack].
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about this post today. It wasn't something I wanted to write on a whim or rush out without thought or care.
I want you to take a look at my post yesterday, Books That Have Changed My Life. If you look, you will see the common theme for these stories that so powerfully changed me all have to do with changing my view of the world.
There are many ways to see the world differently. The Giver gave it to me by showing me lack in a perfect world. It made me see my imperfect life with wonder and realize what made life valuable. But that is only one way to see the world new.
I have been to Mexico, I have been to the moon. I have been to asteroid B612 where a little boy took care of a small, vain rose. I have been into the heart of the Congo and to South Africa during apartheid. I have been to medieval Japan and seen creatures and places beyond my wildest dreams. I have seen the world. It has come in snatches and glimpses. But there is so much more out there.
I have not been inside a Mayan temple or seen their way of life. I have been to Romania only once, and I cannot even remember the name anymore. And what of Serbia or a thousand other hidden places of the world? I have heard their myths are wonderful, but I have not been there… yet.
I have seen enough of Westerns dragons and castles and medieval knights. I know them. I want to go somewhere I've never been before, be with someone new. Every child deserves to see themselves within the pages of a book. I have seen myself there hundreds, if not thousands of times. But I know there are children that have never seen themselves there, not once. So they stop trying. A door is closed then, entire worlds are closed off and the possibility of expansion is broken. It is tragic, and it is wrong.
There are books out there. You have seen it here, you have seen it in other places. But they are like buried treasure. They are wonderful to find, but they shouldn't be so rare. You shouldn't be able to count on one hand all the stories of Japan you know. Or of Africa, or of any other place. That goes the same with characters, of any kind, especially of characters. Books reflect life. The world is filled with diversity. It is teeming with it. It is what makes us unique and so beautiful. Books should be a mirror to that too.
I'm sure you can't imagine what it's like to wander through the teen section of a bookstore and only see one or two books with people of color on them. Do you know how much that hurts? Are we so worthless that the few books that do feature people of color don't have covers with people of color? It's upsetting, it makes me angry and it makes me sad. Can you imagine growing up as a little girl and wanting to be white because not only do you not see people who look like you on TV, you don't see them in your favorite books either. You get discouraged and you want to be beautiful and be like the characters in the books you read and you start to believe that you can't be that certain character because you don't look like them. --Ari from Reading In Color.

MIDDLEBURY — The developers of a proposed small-scale hydroelectric operation at the base of the Otter Creek Falls in Middlebury have secured a federal OK to ramp up planning for the project, but that planning has apparently hit a snag at the local level.
By ANDY KIRKALDY
MIDDLEBURY — The red-hot Middlebury College men's basketball team opened its NESCAC schedule at home this past weekend with two more wins, bringing their streak to 10 games and their record to 14-2.
But the two league victories for Coach Jeff Brown's Panthers couldn't have looked much more different on the court.
MIDDLEBURY — Proposed 2009-2010 spending plans for six of the Addison Central Supervisory Union's (ACSU) seven elementary schools are on target for increases of less than 2.4 percent, thanks to what administrators are calling some conservative budgeting and a one-time accounting change for busing services.
By KATHRYN FLAGG
BRISTOL — Shabana Basij-Rasikh was six years old when the Taliban took power in her native Afghanistan, banning women and girls from attending school or obtaining an education.
So, soon after, Shabana became "Shaban," dressing as a boy in order to attend a secret school where one teacher covertly tutored 140 girls.
SUDBURY — Plans for the Leicester/Sudbury/Whiting community school fizzled on Saturday when Sudbury residents narrowly defeated a measure for planning funds by a vote of 66-60.
The measure, which voters initially knocked down 54-44 on Nov. 10, would have contributed $7,000 to the tri-town effort to draw up plans for the potential school.
RIPTON — The Middlebury Union High School Nordic skiing team enjoyed its only home meet of the winter with three top-20 finishes in the girls' race and two top-20 placements in the boys' event in excellent conditions at Middlebury College's Rikert Ski Touring Center on Saturday. Otter Valley's Rainer Kenney also cracked the boys' top 20.

Where's Waldoboro?
Only about 50 miles from Lewiston, where I was staying with family for the holidays. So the morning after Christmas I headed down the coast to Waldoboro, Maine.
MONTPELIER — State and local lawmakers had some harsh words for Gov. James Douglas's priorities for 2009, an agenda that includes scrapping the state's current education funding law, level funding public schools and revamping Vermont's environmental permitting system.

Today is the first day of our second favorite Brooklyn-based, multi-venue music festival, NYC Popfest! It's pretty safe to say that this year's lineup is the indie-pop obsessed local festival's best yet. You've got Kiwi pop legends The Bats playing at the Bell House on Saturday. UK treasures Close Lobsters playing Littlefield on Sunday night (with a sick support lineup including Ski Lodge, My Teenage Stride, Wolfhounds, The Secret History, etc. etc. etc.) They've even coaxed missing in action mid-00s favorite The Ballet out of hiding to play a free show at Spike Hill on Saturday afternoon. All the kudos! All of them!
But the crown jewel of the lineup is clearly the chronically underappreciated British band The Monochrome Set. Formed in late 70s London as The B-Sides, the band once featured Adam Ant as member. He went on to MTV superstardom, and they went on to be one of my favorite bands of all time, so they clearly won. Smart and catchy in equal measure, they were the class of the British post-punk scene. On Monday, the band played their first NYC set in 30 years. I'm going to see the second, tomorrow night, and I'm beyond excited. But, apparently not enough of the rest of you are, as tickets for that show are still available. This is unacceptable.
Below, listen to seven songs that should be able to get you into this legendary band. They have plenty more, but we're starting with the basics.
"Eine Symphonie Des Grauens"
This pre-album single ended up being a head-fake, presenting a more brooding version of themselves than they'd ever really be. But what a perfectly temperatures bowl of goth-pop! While I like using the lyric video to show how clever these dudes were, I also recommend this 1979 live video to show how handsome.

Sticky Toffee Pudding
For the final act in your holiday meal, whip up this gooey cake made with sweet rum-soaked dates and generously topped with toffee sauce.
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Total Time:
|1 1/2 cup
|brown sugar
|1/2 cup
|heavy cream, whipped, for topping, optional
|2 cups
|pitted dates
|3/4 cup
|dark spiced rum
|1 teaspoon
|vanilla extract
|3 1/2 cups
|all-purpose flour
|1 tablespoon
|baking powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|ground cinnamon
|pinch salt
|2 cups
|brown sugar
|1 stick
|butter, at room temperature, plus extra for baking dish
|eggs, separated
|3 sticks
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
For the pudding: In a small saucepan, combine the dates, rum and 3/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Let the liquid cool, and then puree the dates with their liquid in a food processor. Reserve.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Combine the brown sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed. Beat the butter and sugar together until they are a homogeneous mixture. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Gently mix in the flour mixture in thirds over a low speed. Stir in the date puree.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
For the toffee sauce: Make this while the pudding is baking. Combine the butter, sugar, brandy and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently. Cook the sauce until it thickens to a sauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
To finish the pudding: Remove the pudding from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Using a skewer or chopstick, poke holes in the pudding about every inch or so.
Pour half the toffee sauce over the cake and let it soak in for at least 20 minutes.
Serve the pudding in a warm pool of the remaining sauce. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

This information also supports the Department and the Inland Revenue in applying Vehicle Excise Duty schemes linked to vehicle fuel consumption.
Highways Agency (HA)
HA is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport. This comprises 9,380 km/5,863 miles of motorways and trunk roads in England, on which over 170 billion vehicle/km journeys are made each year.

MCA delivers and implements the Government's maritime safety strategy. The agency co-ordinates search and rescue at sea through Her Majesty's Coastguard, and checks that ships meet UK and international safety rules.

It is responsible for driver licensing, the collection of vehicle excise duty and vehicle registration policy for Great Britain.
DVLA also contributes to Government policies and to broader objectives, such as an improved environment and modernised, customer-focussed services.
Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA)

VOSA is responsible for:
- processing applications for licences to operate lorries and buses;

- operating and administering testing schemes for all vehicles, including the supervision of the MOT testing scheme;
- enforcing the law on vehicles to ensure that they comply with legal standards and regulations;
- enforcing drivers' hours and licensing requirements;
- supporting Traffic Commissioners to help them make informed decisions on operator licensing, vocational drivers and bus registration requirements;
- providing training and advice for commercial operators; and
- investigating vehicle accidents, defects and recalls.

Everybody agrees that the consumerization of IT is happening; to what degree, nobody is quite sure.
Two new surveys of 2,660 information workers and 560 IT managers and executives, conducted by International Data Corp. on behalf of Unisys, find that while usage of personally owned devices is growing in the enterprise, these are still pretty much used to augment traditional usage of PCs. At the same time, the survey shows that social media is used primarily for marketing purposes.
Interestingly, workers give internal IT more credit for supporting these devices than IT managers, which suggests there is a lot of extracurricular support provided by IT staff.
But despite the proliferation of these devices, any plans to optimize existing applications for mobile computing devices remain in relative infancy.
Access to Enterprise Software from Mobile Devices Lagging Study finds that many are missing the productivity opportunities provided by mobile access to enterprise software.

RWTO/OERO Awards Policies
It is the policy of RWTO/OERO that the following honours may be bestowed on members.
Barbara Bain Membership Awards
This provincial award was named in honour of our long-time member, Barbara Bain, who served on the Provincial Board of Directors for 11 years. Barbara served as an Area Director, Assistant Insurance Convenor, Insurance Convenor, 2nd and 1st Vice-President, President, Past President and Honorary President. Barbara was also the first Membership Convenor for RTWO/OERO. Barbara continues to be an active member in the London-Middlesex Branch.
Since its inception in 2006-2007, the provincial Barbara Bain Award has traditionally been given to the three branches, one in each tier, with the largest percentage increase in the number of regular paid-up members. In 2015, the formula was changed: the actual increase is now calculated on how many new members join, less the number of existing members who did not renew during the April 1 to March 31 period. Awards of $300, $200 and $100 will be given in each tier, based on actual increase in membership. So now instead of 3 awards of $200 being awarded, we have 9 provincial awards, 3 for each tier, totalling $1800.
Barbara Bain Awards 2018
Tier 3, the Smaller Branches
1st place – $300 – South Bruce, net increase 5
2nd place – $200 – Daisy Wilson Coldwater, net increase 4

Feather in Your Hat Award
The "Feather in Your Hat" Awards are presented each year at the AGM/June Convention.

Thank you to all the branches that made submissions this year.
Award Winners 2018
St. Catharines Branch
After the convention in Ajax, this branch decided to support a "global" need in addition to their other projects. They focused on a non-profit initiative that helps freed sex slave workers earn a living. New and gently used bras are sold in second-hand markets in Ecuador, Gambia and Mozambique. This enterprise provides income to girls and women who have no other support. The branch began their "Free the Girls" project in October 2017. 50 bras a month were donated before the official start date. By the end of their Christmas luncheon, 211 bras had been collected and $127 was raised to offset shipping costs. "Free the Girls" was a perfect fit for the St. Catharines Branch as it represents women helping women. Congratulations St. Catharines Branch.
Trenton Branch
The idea for the "Welcome Home" Project came after a presentation to the branch by a guest speaker. The "Welcome Home" Project offers support to men and women who are moving into an apartment after being homeless for a period of time. Branch members donated new and gently used household items such as sheets, towels, utensils and small appliances. The items were packed into large totes, some being suitable for men and some suitable for women. In all, 6 totes were assembled and the extra items dispersed to whoever needed them. In addition, $735 was raised to be used in front line causes of the Hastings and Prince Edward Canadian Mental Health Association. Bravo Trenton Branch for your generosity and caring for and sharing with the more vulnerable members of your community.
Stratford Branch
Stratford Branch began their project to celebrate our country's 150th birthday. Their initial goal was to knit or crochet 150 tiny hats for newborns at their General Hospital. The initial group of 8 ladies attended the first meeting. The group has grown to 22 members. Their project has also expanded to include crocheted stuffed octopi and jellyfish for premature infants who cuddle the long tentacles which deters them from pulling on the tubes they are surrounded by. Cuddling also calms their breathing and allows for better oxygen intake. The group has also included blankets into their project. The Branch has far exceeded its initial 150 hats. The Stratford General Hospital, at the time of this submission, has received 335 hats, 10 blankets, 6 octopi and 1 jellyfish. Congratulations Stratford Branch on this warm and cuddly project for those in your area starting out in life.
Membership Committee – Marilyn Bancsi, Jennifer Davis, Joyce Ratz, and (Chair) Suzanne Lanouette-Carswell.

Award Winners 2018
KAYE-ANNE BROGER (Orillia Branch)
Kay Anne is a dedicated member of the Orillia Branch and was President of her branch for 3 years before beginning her journey at the Provincial level.
In 2013 Kaye-Anne joined the Board as Area 6 Director. She held this position for four years. During this time Kaye-Anne also served on the Membership Committee. In 2014, she became Membership Convenor. During her three years as Chair of the Membership Committee, Kaye-Anne's desire to encourage new members was evident. She was an advocate for the branches to be given money from Provincial to help with their unique initiatives for increasing membership, for their charitable works and celebrating their special moments. Kaye-Anne supported the criteria changes that made the Barbara Bain Award become more equitable. She also worked to have the criteria for the Feather in Your Hat Award enhanced, so that membership involvement became a key factor. With Board approval, Kay Anne worked with a supplier to make official the Cora Bailey pin that was designed by Linda Sargeant and in June 2017, she organized a Membership Storefront at the AGM in Ajax.
Thank you, Kate-Anne, for all that you have done for our organization. Congratulations!

Nov. 16th 09:43 AM
you Have you mastered the pencil art yet? If you are an aspiring artist then you must make sure you learn how to draw from the best place and from the best source.
, Drawings can be of different types.
An image can be drawn with colors as well as without colors. If you are a beginner then it is always better to start with black and white drawing. If you are capable of mastering the art of black and white drawing then you can surely begin color drawing.
There are lots of people who have a natural talent inside them and draw well. But there are certain things that need to be checked if you have chosen this as your profession. There are various drawing tutorials available these days.
A beginner in this field must always try to choose the best tutorial for himself so that he learns the right procedure to draw. Other than this, there are certain common mistakes which the beginners tend to make. It is very important to make sure that they avoid these mistakes to create a bright future in drawing.
First of all it is important to choose the right kind of pencil for drawing. If you have the tendency to choose hard pencils then make sure you get rid of this habit. Drawing pencils are usually available with grades. It is important to check the grades before you buy a pencil.
You should choose B, 2B and 4B pencils for drawing. This will help you create brighter shades. Secondly the new artists have the tendency to draw pictures from flashy photography. This can be one of the reasons for producing distorted pictures.
It is therefore very important to make sure that you always draw from very natural things and you also need to take care of the background. If you choose a model for drawing then make sure the background of the model gets equal importance.
The third mistake the beginners do is stay away from black. They are not capable of capturing the actual highlight and the actual shade of the image. With the help of the pencil sketches you will be capable of capturing the actual shades of drawing.
To learn the best pencil art you can visit certain websites. These websites are usually made for people who are interested in this art. Other than this, the basic drawing tips can also be of great help.
To learn how to draw you first need to learn the various geometrical shapes. These shapes are usually present in almost all the images. To learn the right pencil art you can also look for some inspiration from the well known artists by visiting the nearby art galleries.
There is no reply to that thread yet.

MIDDLEBURY — As a child, Joshua Chamberlain loved to take mechanical things apart and put them back together again. He wanted to see what made them tick and make sure they kept ticking when he had reassembled them.
Now 41, Chamberlain is still taking stuff apart — only he is now getting paid for it. He has just opened The Laptop Shop on Middlebury's Merchants Row, where he works out bugs in computers and a variety of other electronics for customers who might otherwise have to make the trek to Rutland or Chittenden counties.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WLUK) -- As Southwest High School Principal Rod Bohm walked into work Thursday, he had no idea what was in store.
"I came in about 6:20 this morning and I see a bunch of tables that were stacked up all the way around," Bohm said.
Senior Zak Nelson was waiting to see Bohm's reaction.
"He was just like, no words, very out of it. He just kept saying, 'oh my gosh, oh my gosh,'" said Zak Nelson.
"I wasn't mad. I like to have things organized. It took me out of my comfort zone at first but then I realized where the spirit of this lied and so it was a lot of fun," Bohm said.
The disorganization also came in the form of balloons in the principal's office.
"There are 700 balloons and streamers that filled my office so that took me to another level of uneasiness," Bohm said.
So until the end of the school day, Bohm's office was in the lunchroom.
"When you're sitting in your office with 400 kids and teachers walking through, it's hard to get work done," Bohm said.
Senior Clara Welhouse hatched a plan to prank Bohm.
"I found some inspiration online for some pranks," said Clara Welhouse.
And, she enlisted the help of about 40 seniors.
"It went so much better than I thought it would. Honestly, especially the balloons in the office. That was not part of my plan. It was something that just happened," Welhouse said.
As for all of these balloons in Bohm's office, he says he has a plan for the seniors who put them here.
"They may not get their diploma on Sunday after the graduation ceremony. They might have to come for lock in and find it underneath the balloons in my office," Bohm said.
Share your graduation photos and videos with us here:
Jokes aside, Bohem says the class of 2018 is pretty special and some seniors say the same about him.
"We really do appreciate him. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet," said John Gahnz, Southwest High School senior.

Hi all - hope this is the best place to post this.
I had Ampache installed, and basically been pissed off with it for a while. The android clients are not that good, problems all the time. I had not installed Madsonic as I was a bit concerned about overloading my server even more with Java.
But it is running quite well - or as you young things would say - like totally like awesome. Android client is great. Only problem is the organisation of my music library ... that *may* be my fault.
Anyway - great job. Glad I got round to giving it a go.

The Prisoner in His Palace: Saddam Hussein, His American Guards, and What History...
Will Bardenwerper
During the last five months of 2006, 12 U.S. Army Military Police personnel drew the unusual assignment of guarding Saddam Hussein in Iraq from the beginning of his trial through his execution. Drawing on first-person accounts by the MPs and other officials, journalist Will Bardenwerper relates their impressions of Saddam as a man with two distinct personalities: passionately raving against the U.S. in court, and gentlemanly and kind to his guards in the prison quarters.
The Prisoner in His Palace

Funded in part by multibillionaire Charles Koch, Buchanan's ideas have been carried out by like-minded political operatives. In a starred review,

Turn Right at Machu Picchu
, visited several countries to examine sites that could be the location of the island that sank beneath the waves. Traveling to Greece, Spain, Malta, Morocco, and other places, he documents his investigations, surveys the research of scientists and amateur explorers, and studies the clues left by the Greek philosopher Plato (who told us all that we know about Atlantis).

Marco Polo: The Journey That Changed the World
John Man

but renamed
Marco Polo
to accompany the 2014 Netflix series by that name), historian John Man relates how he retraced Marco's steps and adds materials from his research to depict the Italian in the summer court of Kublai Khan. Man's conclusion: Marco may have embroidered his accounts, as some believe, but he really did go to China.

6. Source of Energy
Introduction about Sources of Energy
If energy can neither be created nor destroyed, we should have no worries! We should be able to perform endless activities without thinking about energy resources then why we speak to save energy ?
Its because energy from the usable form, is dissipated to the surroundings in less usable forms. Hence, any source of energy we use, to do work, is consumed and cannot be used again.

Hi, tried to post this last week, but I guess somehow it didn't cross the administrator's review. Here is my question again:
Scenario: It is 2:00 or 2:30 am on an overcast, pitch-dark, heavily humid and misty-little bit of fog here and there night. The way is 19 ft-wide asphalt-paved rural road with no sidewalks, curbs, paved shoulder, or streetlights. Even the fog lines have worn away or actually eroded in many places. A 5000+ lb. 4x4 ABS-equipped pickup truck, comparable to a Dodge RAM 1500, Ford F-150, etc., comes up over a rise onto a flat of about 50 feet, then a 3-ft decline over the next 50 feet, then a 100-ft flat followed by a 3-ft incline over the next 50 feet followed by a decline of 10 feet over the next 100 feet.
Somewhere on that 10-ft decline, the left front corner of the pickup strikes a 6-ft tall, approx 180-lb pedestrian, breaking the driver's side headlight and mirror and possibly the driver's side A-pillar as the driver reports his door seemed a little hard to open.
Driver says he did not see pedestrian "Until I hit him," but he does remember seeing the color of the pedestrian's jacket. He does not remember seeing the pedestrian's face.
Driver says he started braking hard immediately, steering straight or nearly so, feeling the characteristic grind of the ABS brakes. Pickup truck continues down the decline, then goes up about a 5-ft incline over the next 50 feet and stops in the right-hand lane less than a foot from the center line.
Pedestrian's body comes to rest face down in the grass and leaves by the left side of the road. His feet were just to the edge of the pavement, and his body was angled away from it.
The pickup truck was going between 35 and 37 mph. The vertical distance between the final resting places of the pedestrian's body and the pickup was about 75 feet. The lateral distance was about 12 feet from left truck edge to pedestrian's midsection. The resulting right angle triangle would have a hypotenuse of about 76 feet.
So, which side of the road was the pickup truck on when it hit the pedestrian?
Right or Left Lane?

Re: Right or Left Lane?
That is, the pedestrian's body came to rest 65-75 feet behind the final rest position of the truck.

Farm Groundbreaking -May 22, 2011
"It's really happening!" shouted the small, yet ecstatic, gathering of Farm Partnership* members, as they watched the plow turn the first soil over in the Center for Urban Horticulture's northwest field. Farm manager, Robert Servine, knows this is just the first step of many to come before the .75 acre farm will be in full production. It's certainly a major tangible step after months of planning with UW Botanic Gardens and UW campus grounds management, as well as between the 2 Farm Partnership organizations, to get this exciting urban farm project launched.
Thanks to the generous donation of Full Circle Farms, groundbreaking was a one-person job accomplished via use of tractor, mower and a 4-blade moldboard plow. The conditions for turning earth today couldn't have been better. After a cold, wet spring, last week's warmer, sunnier days, dried the field out for accessibility w/ heavy equipment. The plan now is to wait a few weeks, let the weed seed that's now at the surface germinate, then come in and disc the field. Also, because the field's soil is depleted of most nutrients, it's been estimated that 600 yards of compost will need to be incorporated to bring the fertility up to standards needed to grow healthy vegetables.
The farm will contribute to the bounty of our region's food system by producing vegetables for sale on the University of Washington campus and at the University District Farmers' Market.
- The Farm is a partnership between Seattle Tilth's Seattle Youth Garden Works program and the UW Student Farm.
- Seattle Youth Garden Works (SYGW) empowers homeless and underserved youth through farm-based education and employment.
- The UW Student Farm is a student organization committed to growing and learning about sustainable food systems.
For more info or to get involved, contact: Robert Servine, SYGW Farm Coordinator – firstname.lastname@example.com or (206)633-0451 x102.

NGC 1068 Nucleus and Ionizing Cone
In this view of the core of galaxy NGC 1068, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals far more detail than has ever been seen from the ground. This picture was taken through a narrow band filter with HST's Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC). The image was then computer processed to show additional detail in the clouds of ionized gas in the nucleus of NGC 1068.
Clouds as small as 10 light-years across are clearly resolved in the central 150 light-years of the core. The clouds are glowing because they are caught in a "searchlight" of radiation beamed out of the galaxy's energetic nucleus, which may contain a massive black hole. A schematic representation of this invisible cone of ionizing radiation has been artificially added to the image to illustrate how radiation is beamed from the hidden nucleus.

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold milk
3 large egg yolks
2 cups milk, heated
2 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 1/2 cups of whipping cream
1/4 cup of sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pie plate, melt 5 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Add graham crackers and sugar to the melted butter and mix with a fork. Press mixture into the pan with a measuring cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden-brown.
For the custard, in a heavy saucepan stir together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the cold milk and egg yolks. Heat the 2 cups of milk in the microwave until very hot - about 2 minutes in my microwave. Slowly stir in the hot milk - whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, and continue to whisk. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken, remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Continue to stir for 1 more minute.
Pour 1/2 of the custard mixture into the pie crust. Add a layer of bananas. Pour the rest of the custard over the bananas. Let cool.
When cool (after 30 minutes or so) whip cream. Add sugar while whipping. Top pie with sweetened whip cream and refrigerate.
Because my food processor bowl is still out of commission, I enlisted help with the smashing of...
and nibbling on graham crackers.
I like the crumbs to have some texture - it looks more homemade and rustic.
Look how bright these egg yolks are - thanks to the Butlers for the fresh eggs!
Baked and cooling. I think I need a big deep window sill in the new kitchen.

I'm seriously considering using DNA testing to help break open a couple of extremely difficult family lines. If you haven't been following the news recently, DNA testing (once used just for proving paternity and solving crimes) is becoming a hot topic in genealogy—primarily as a way of breaking through brick walls.
CNN recently ran an article about a London restaurant that offered one free DNA test every day for a week, along with a free meal to anyone who whose DNA shows they're descended from Genghis Khan. Many people believe DNA can be used to trace humanity's common ancestry. One of the chief scientists in the UK even extracted DNA from a frozen, 5,000-year-old corpse found in the Alps, and tracked down one of the iceman's descendants who was living in Britain.
A team interested in New World explorer Christopher Columbus' heritage (was he Jewish? Italian?) created a documentary that will air on the Discovery Channel several times beginning the week of Aug. 1 (check your local guide for air times). As part of the documentary, scientists performed DNA testing on Columbus' remains. You even can watch an interesting online video on how scientists used a new technique (developed to help identify victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks) to extract DNA from his bones.
Because women carry two X chromosomes, and men carry an X and a Y, only men's test results will show both the paternal and maternal lines. Women can have their DNA tested for maternal lines.
