This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
During NetBeans 6.5, the concept of the Main project was made optional, as it is not appropriate in many use cases,
especially when the user's code consists of just one project. This was a big usability improvement, as the concept of
the mandatory main project was often very confusing to the users.
However, usability can be further improved by not using the main project concept by default, i.e. when creating or
opening a project, it would never be set as main by default.
Several cases would have to be handled specially, e.g. a Java library used in a (Swing or Web) application, or a Java
web application included in an EAR file, so the Run action behaves intuitively in these cases.
Ondro, please evaluate. Thanks.
Similar to report 51686.
Agreed with Petr's suggestion.
Although it seems to make sense, I'm not sure if this really is a problem, do we have any user feedback? I haven't come across any.
Right now users who do not work with Java projects hardly ever find out we have such concept as for other projects it is not used, AFAIK. And if they work Java, this IMHO would hardly cause them issues. On the other hand, I've seen a user to run a different project than they wanted to in a usability study (in rather specific artificial situation though).
Generally, I do not have any issues with it, provided we handle the special cases. I'm not sure we can cover them all right away, so I'd suggest to do this early in a release .. any ideas, objections?
(When I was playing with this, I've discovered a related issue: while we have a way of setting a main project, we do not have an easy way of setting a project non-main. I filed this as #191404)
I am in favor of removing the main project concept entirely, and handling the relatively infrequent use cases by delegating actions from one project to another when the IDE can know for sure that this is appropriate:
1. If a WAR is in an EAR, "Run Project" on the WAR should automatically load the EAR into the app server, though this need not rebuild other subprojects of the EAR.
2. A Maven NBM app consists of a pom project, an nbm-application project, and some nbm projects. "Run" should always take effect on the nbm-application project. (In an Ant NBM app, "Run" is available on the module projects and does essentially the same thing as "Run" on the suite, so there was no need for a main project to begin with.)
3. If a JAR project with a main class depends on another JAR project with no main class, "Run" on the second ought to start the first when it is open.
For cases where it is not very clear, just run the selected project.
Of course handling these special behaviors will take some work, so it needs to be planned to fit in one release.

Ok, let's go for not setting the main project by default, thus only limiting its use to users who explicitly choose so. This needs to be done together with making both setting and unsetting main project easy and intuitive (see issue #191404).
Let's plan this for the beginning of the next release.

4. User is working on a java class library project used within other (open) project. No project is set as main - in this case the logic probably needs to be extended for run to execute on the open project using that library or query the user if there are more such projects.
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/tip_unset_as_main_project suggests this should be considered again.

*** Bug 189270 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Started work on this in a patch, to the extent of not setting m.p. when a new project is created, and removing some associated UI (incl. Set as Main context menu item on projects), leaving in place just the Run > Set Main Project submenu.
As to what should replace this UI, there are a number of choices, including:
1. Nothing in particular - let users set a main project if they find it convenient, but by default always operate on the current selection.
2. Try to run the "right" project automatically when the IDE can tell that the selected project is just a component. I listed some options already in comment #5. (#4 from comment #6 is a duplicate of my own #3.) Convenient for many common cases, but might seem too magical. Has the potential advantage of being able to build just the selected component and then run the container project.
3. Provide a UI for delegating actions (probably just Run/Debug/Profile Project) to another project, probably as a special kind of "run configuration", without actually configuring that by default. Compared to #2, is more explicit but might not be discovered and requires brief setup. Compared to #1 (current main projects), is more robust - survives closing and reopening projects, and works properly when there is >1 app/container project open.
4. Offer an action for rerunning the last project. The existing Run > Repeat Build/Run sort of does this, but operates on any build process, including compilation and running unit tests; whereas this would be limited to build tool invocations triggered by the Run/Debug/Profile Project commands.
#2-#4 could involve removing even Run > Set Main Project and all other UI for main projects, or could keep this UI as a backup system for those comfortable with it; TBD.
Cannot plan this for 7.2 without some sort of UI guidance.
Adding Rich to CC and I am asking for his comments.
IMHO not setting a main project by default is OK if one of the solutions in Comment 10 is implemented, but I do not like the idea of removing the option entirely. This would be inconvenient for people who are used to it - and the advantage by such a change might be difficult to defend from their point of view. For a similar reason I would be cautious about option 3 in Comment 10; increasing UI complexity of an established usage area requires a serious reason and clearly notable gain, especially if it may affect many users who would prefer things to stay as they are if they work sufficiently well for them. And I am not yet convinced that users would be happy enough about radical changes in this case.
This is an area of IDE UI design that I've seen MANY bad designs for. Let me make sure first that I understand the problem at hand, and the set of requirements around this. Check me on these assumptions:
- In NB, you have a Projects browser that allows you to add and remove projects at will. This is different from other IDEs who have a top-level file type, called a workspace, application, or solution, all of which are just a container for 1-to-n projects.
- Presumably, if a developer is adding multiple projects to their Projects browser, it is because there is some inter-relation or dependency between the outputs of those projects.
- The goal of features like defining a main project, or having a build configuration, is to allow the user control over which projects are compiled, how they are compiled, where their output is placed or deployed, and in which order they are compiled.
- Setting and maintaining a "main" project is really only the tip of the iceberg. What we need to give the user control over is how NB handles building and/or running all of the projects in their Projects browser.
We can go two ways with this. We can come up with an intuitive UI for managing builds and runs, or we can follow the KISS principle and just Run the selected project, which relies on the user to self-manage dependencies and the proper order of operations.
(In reply to comment #13)
> you have a Projects browser that allows you to add and remove projects
> at will.
Yes, you may open whatever set of projects you like. You may even open files from nonopen projects - for example, Ctrl-B on a reference to a class defined in some dependency you did not bother to open yet.
> if a developer is adding multiple projects to their Projects
> browser, it is because there is some inter-relation or dependency between the

Often. Not necessarily.
> The goal of features like defining a main project, or having a build
> configuration, is to allow the user control over which projects are compiled
And run.
> how they are compiled, where their output is placed or deployed, and in which
> order they are compiled.
No, no, and probably no. The choice of main project is nothing more than a convenience so that global shortcuts like F6 or toolbar buttons like Run Project will operate on a project which has some kind of entry point (in the case of Run/Debug/Profile) or whose build process recursively invokes other projects on which it depends (in the case of Build/Clean & Build) even if the UI happens to have the focus on a different project.
If you do not set a main project, and you are e.g. working on a file from a separate related project but want to build or run this other one, you need to use the context menu or switch focus e.g. in the Projects tab.
(Of course if you _do_ set a main project then you can have the opposite problem - it is awkward to perform these actions on the selected project.)
Note that when exactly one project is open, it is treated as implicitly "main" for purpose of the main-project-sensitive actions: F6 will run it even if no file from it has focus. When there is no main project and either multiple projects open or none, then the selection determines which project is used. (E.g. the project root node in Projects, an editor window for a file in it, a folder in it in the Files window, etc.)
Rich's KISS preference coupled with Petr's comment suggests option #1 - stop advocating the main project mechanism but retain its basic elements for users habituated to it. This is what the patch I was working on, mentioned at the start of comment #10, essentially does: GUI elements to set the main project when creating a project (many of them currently checked by default) are removed; checkbox to set as main when opening a project is removed; context menu item to set/unset a project as main is removed; just Run > Set Main Project main menu item retained in the GUI; those actions currently sensitive to main project (Build, Clean & Build, Run, Debug, Profile) continue to be; project groups continue to remember main project setting, if any.
There was a request a few months ago - from one of the CND team, but not sure how to find it now - for miniature run buttons to be embedded into the Projects window at the end of the row for a project root node, which for a mouse user would make it quicker to run a particular project. Of course does not help for Build, Debug, etc., and would consume limited screen space.
BTW in reference to option #4, in 7.2 there is keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F11 but the behavior of the existing action is the same - it will repeat whatever build, test, or run was last launched.
Leave it to me to overcomplicate something....typical user experience person that I am. :-)
Now that I've got a better idea of what the "main" project is and means, I think I've got a different recommendation.
I, for one, have always liked how Visual Studio handles this: the shortcuts and affordances for build and run pertain to the currently selected project in the navigator. If there is a file selected, they pertain to its parent project.
I don't like using the word "Main" for this, because that term is a little bit overused. How many versions has this been used for, i.e. do we have to leave it the same because of legacy support?
To wit, IntelliJ doesn't have this concept, because they only open one project in a tab, so whatever the active tab is gets treated as "Main". JDeveloper and Eclipse both work like Visual Studio.
I don't think that main really gives us any efficiencies, instead its just one more thing that the user needs to understand and manage.
Just my .02!

That is exactly how NetBeans works if you do not set a main project, so if this is the desired state, then the question is just to what extent the existing main project UI should be suppressed or deprecated; comment #12 suggests that it should not be entirely removed.
It's a judgment call. We're making an argument between consistency with three other IDEs and legacy support.
Do we have any data to suggest this is a feature that users want, understand, and use? Do we have any traceability back to the ER in which main projects were initially incorporated? Looks like the answer is "before NB 6.5", but how long has this been a part of the product?
The main project setting was included in the initial release of the current project system, NB 4.0.
I do not have any data on its usage. We may well have statistics on how many people run with a main project set, but this figure may not be very meaningful since the IDE currently sets it by default in a number of circumstances. There might be statistics on how often a project is manually set as main.
I'd like to clarify just one thing. Regarding:
> I don't think that main really gives us any efficiencies, instead its just one
> more thing that the user needs to understand and manage.
No, actually assuming option #1, users do not need to understand and manage the main project, they can just ignore it. Most users will not notice that they can set a main project, and setting the main project is completely optional. Only power users may want to use a main project - everyone else can safely ignore it and just go with the default behavior, which is the approach used by Visual Studio.
So, option #1 gives flexibility and compatibility with previous versions to power users, but does not make things more complicated for everyone else.
Let me make sure I understand. If the user doesn't ever set a main project, NB will act like the other IDEs. If they do, it will alway apply the shortcuts and menu options to the main project, unless they "unset" it or set a different one?
If that's the deal, and there isn't a requirement or a strong push towards setting one in the first place, I'm on board with that approach.

UI for setting/unsetting main project in main menu
That's correct, I am attaching a screenshot of the main menu action for setting and unsetting main project. Under option #1, this is the only piece of UI that would be retained that refers to the main project. By default, main project would be set to "None".
Awesome. I like it.
OK, assuming psomol does not object, I will plan to implement option #1.
Just confirming this is OK with me.

Please review.
I do not see any problem with the proposed patch.
core-main #1f58a82b5ece
Jesse, do you have some plan/issue to provide features like "running this J2SE Class Library project looks up whether it is references from some J2SE Application project and runs application instead"?
(In reply to comment #29)

Not for 7.2 at least; comment #12 is skeptical about this kind of thing, but if it turns out to be desirable and there is a clear UI spec for it then it could be implemented as a separate effort.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201203200400* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)

Log: #166780: do not set main project by default.
With respect to comment #12, which says:
> increasing UI complexity of an established usage area requires a serious reason
> and clearly notable gain, especially if it may affect many users who would
> prefer things to stay as they are
The fact is that in this case, things have changed already, so the comment about "things staying as they are" does not apply. Consider the following scenario:
1. Project A is a Java application with a main class
2. Project B is a Java library used by Project A
3. User is editing a file in project B and hits run
Before the change that Jesse just implemented, project A would be a main project, so the IDE would launch the main class of project A. After Jesse's change, there is no main project, so the IDE displays a dialog saying <No main classes found>. So the behavior has changed already. Now the question is whether we want to finetune the behavior in this case. It would be useful to know Petr Somol' opinion on this.
Issue 189270 already discusses this specific scenario and one particular possible way (though surely not the only one) to solve it.
(In reply to comment #32)
> Before the change that Jesse just implemented, project A would be a main

Well... it *might* have been, if you did not uncheck the Set as Main checkbox, did not close and reopen A (other than as part of a project group) without resetting it as main, did not create a second application project, etc. And it
> Issue 189270 already discusses this specific scenario
I have reopened that accordingly. BTW its summary is a bit misleading; you can already select a main class from a different project, if that project is in the classpath of the selected project, and $selected/build.xml#run works in that case. What you are talking about is selecting a main class from a _downstream_ project, i.e. where the class is not visible in the sourcepath + classpath of the selected project, and thus where the IDE really needs to start a different build script.

Log: Drop-down menu removed in #105664 makes less sense after #166780 since there will usually not be a main project.
(It could display configurations for the selected project, but probably this is too surprising.)
A plugin could experiment with UIs for quick mouse-based invocation of (e.g.) Run on various open projects and their configs.
*** Bug 209965 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
My 2 cents...
While I don't disagree with the change in model, the result in the gui does not make sense. Specifically, the visual appearance of the gui includes a bold highlight when a project is selected as the "main project", but when right-clicking on that project you cannot see how that boldness was acquired, nor how to change it.
I can understand that some vast quantity of naive users don't want or need to set a main project. And they can safely ignore the Run->Set Main Project->blah blah, whose location is obscure enough that they won't run into it. But for someone that needs to identify the "main project", making it obscure seems counter productive.
So two of the stated goals are (a) don't force the naive user to choose a main project, and (b) allow a main project to be set when one is needed. Having a menu item to set main project in the file menu and below the right-click-on-a-project seems quite consistent with the bold font emphasis. Its a property of the project, and it follows that I ought to be able to right click on that project and change that property. I see no argument above (let along a compelling one) that suggests having an intuitive location for such a menu item violates (a) or (b).
For context, I use NB to work on a large C++ project, ~3M lines, which targets Linux, MacOS, Windows and MQX (a real-time OS). Identifying the "main project" is key for using NB.
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201203210400)
Java: 1.6.0_23; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.0-b09
System: Linux version 220.127.116.11-106.fc14.x86_64 running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
User directory: /home/toddb/.netbeans/dev
Cache directory: /home/toddb/.cache/netbeans/dev
Using some of the quite limited space available in every project's context menu to manage a feature many users will never need is not a good idea. The Set Main Project menu item has always been there and continues to work; it is no more "obscure" than any other main menu item needed only for certain workflows, e.g. Tools > DTDs and XML Schemas. In fact it is right below those menu items it primarily affects the behavior of, such as Run Main Project.
One compromise option (also I think permitting #209973 to be downgraded to P3) would be to display the old Set/Unset as Main Project context menu item only if there is already a main project set, or has been during the current IDE session, in which case this feature is presumably relevant to the user. Of course in this scenario if you chose Unset (or closed the project group etc.) and then restarted the IDE then the context menu item would not initially be visible so you would need to use the main menu item.
Up to Petr and Rich to decide what they want.
In view of #209973 and the fact that many users actively do use the Main Project feature (I got similar reports like Comment 36 by e-mail) I like the idea proposed in Comment 37 - no Set/Unset option in context menu by default, until the user sets a main project through Run menu. From that moment on the project context menus would show the Set/Unset items.
My only reservation is about disabling this on IDE restart with no main project set. Generally it is inconvenient for users if menu contents (or UI in general) change without direct user's action, and when effort is needed to find out what is the logic behind that. I would prefer this change to be more persistent - once the user starts using the main project feature, the context menu would better remain extended from that moment on across IDE restarts. I admit this is not a perfect solution - unless there would be a simple way of removing the items again. But why not to connect the removal of menu items to choosing None in menu Run->Set Main Project? Then the menu Run->Set Main Project would become the central place from where to enable or disable the feature globally. Maybe to emphasize this the item None in menu Run->Set Main Project could be renamed to Disable or something like that to suggest that it differs from simple Unset.
That might work; filed as bug #210148.

A question I hear all the time is - 'how can we use the task board with our younger kids, who can't read or write yet?'
Being a parent to young kids is exactly the same as with the older kids. The parents try to get the child to do his tasks, stick to a routine, keep boundaries, have a good connection with with them, all while keeping nagging down to a minimum.
The answer I give all the time is surprisingly simple.
'Use pictures'
All the other rules apply as usual.
When they get a 'wait, what?' look on their faces, I explain a bit further.
● Put the tasks on the board to visualise them
● Choose your next task
● Gather every day to talk about the tasks
So in fact, most of the tasks can be shown in picture format anyway. It might even be better this way for all the family :)
So how to go about this:
1. Prepare the child to a fun adventure.Have fun with the kids! I mean, you're going to be wandering around the house snapping pictures with them (and they'll want to take some pictures themselves if they are anything like my kids). What could be more fun?
2. Snap pictures of your kids doing their routine tasks. Brushing their teeth, waking up in the morning. Let them snap pictures of you doing the same. Explain each task as the kid is doing it.
3. This is an awesome opportunity to do things together, and to set expectations.
4. Now, ask your kids to put the pictures up on the task board (Some velcro on the back of each one and the board itself is probably best). Make sure to refer to each task as you place it on the board - for example, 'and here you are, brushing your teeth'.
Note that you can use the family task board, a personal task board in the child room or even a personal book (if they are very small children).
5. Be sure to keep it simple. They are kids, after all. Don't use too many pictures, or ones that it isn't clear what the child has to do.
OK, so you've got the pictures up on the board. Now what?
1. You and your kids choose a series of pictures (tasks, remember?) to do the next day. Ask your children what they are going to do when they wake up.
2. Put the pictures on the board - make sure the order is clear.
3. In the morning, remind your kids that the board and pictures is there, and go to the board with them.
4. Go through the tasks as shown by the pictures, and move the completed pictures into the 'Done' column.
5. When your kids have completed all the tasks, let them know they've done an excellent job - they deserve it :)
6. Gather round the board the next evening, and repeat.
Wasn't that great?
Of course, what the pictures show is entirely up to you. I prefer showing my kids actually performing the action they are supposed to - brushing their teeth, as opposed to just showing the toothbrush - as it is the actual task he needs to follow through.
Plus, it's tremendous fun!
It's the fun of snapping the photos, it's the fun of creating the board, it's the fun of seeing how
things are getting done without focusing on what isn't done. It's the fun of actually talking with your kids and having a dialogue.
Remember - when your kids see what they need to do, and know that we are there to help if needed, and talking about it, they find it much easier. In time, these tasks will become part of the routine, and you can move on to others!
And as I said before - using photos and pictures works wonders with the older kids as well. After all, visualization makes things so much easier to understand!

Reviews (4.4 out of 5 Grommets)
This is a nice product but not useful for me as the scent is too strong and lingers on the hands.
Thought I would love this product for my anxiety disorder, but it smells awful. It helps the troops, so I kept it. It's difficult to buy a product like this without being able to smell it before purchasing it.
I did not find anything remarkable about this material - it felt like play dough at a higher price.
Using this product was the same experience as Play Doh. Also tiny pieces break off when using requiring pick up so they don't get eaten by toddlers or animals. Picking up pieces mitigates any therapy.
My primary complaints were addressed by other reviewers. The first and biggest issue for me is that when I squeeze the dough, little pieces break off getting all over my clothes, furniture, floor, etc. I end up spending more time picking these up then squeezing. The second issue for me is that the smell is overpowering. I got the autumn and while I typically love this scent, this version starts to get to me. I am not sure if maybe the batch I got was off since the majority of reviews are so positive, but due to the price, am not risking an additional purchase to find out.
Was to perfumed
Would like a choice of one to be unscented or much, much milder scents for those of us who have allergies and are sensitive to strong scents. Also cannot be used in hospitals and other areas that strong scented products are not allowed.
I couldn't use this because the product was so strong smelling that it gave me headaches.
Great idea but you can't get the scent off your hands, it's so strong
We never got around to pinching it.The lavender scent was so strong that we closed it up and set it outdoors.
The Pinch Me Story
Relaxing Tool
Disguised as a simple invitation to play, Pinch Me's sensorial design exposes you to colors, textures, and smells that help you re-center.
Maker Nancy Rothner's experience with holistic stress reduction compelled her to create a portable mood-shifter. Carefully curated aromas and calming hues help you refocus your attention by simply massaging this pliable dough.
Squeeze, shape, then store it back in the tin for later. You'll notice the scent lingers and refreshes even after you're done playing.

Everyone was happy to hear that the AppleTV was losing a bit of cost, as it was hard to justify getting one before with the features it offered. Now, however, it's a much better deal (some disagree) and even my skeptical self is tempted. But whence this discount? The margins are as thin as the skin on my teeth.
Computerworld speculates that since the discount did not extend to the UK and only partially to France, where licensing and fees-for-services are different, that Apple must have fought for an agreement with North American movie biggies to get a slice of every rental in addition to having access to their library.
They run a hard bargain, as AT&T and Cisco can tell you, and it seems likely that something like this is the case. Take a buck off every rental? If someone rents one a week, the discount will pay for itself in a little over a year. Well played, Apple, well played.
Is Apple subsidizing the $70 Apple TV price reduction by taking a cut of movie rentals? [ComputerWorld]

Statement by M. Laurent Fabius, Minister of Foreign Affairs
Paris, November 12, 2013
Paris, November 12, 2013
I welcome the Syrian National Coalition's decision to take part in the Geneva II conference.
It is a major step towards the possibility of a political solution.
It shows the spirit of responsibility of the moderate opposition, which yesterday formed a government representing the diversity of the Syrian people.
As the Syrian National Coalition's members have recalled, the people are urgently demanding that international efforts enable immediate humanitarian access to civilians, particularly in the towns under siege by the regime. France fully supports this demand./.

Poor Sapperton.
Around 2005/2006 I remember visiting Will before we were married at his old Cedar St. apartment. Sapperton then seemed pretty run-down and rough around the edges. When we bought our first condo together in New West a few years later, I refused to consider even looking in that part of New West.
But in the past couple of years, the area seemed to be improving. There was the start of a kids' district in New West, with Pedagogy Toys, Kids Kloset and Dimpleskins, a few neat boutiques (Opulence & Cadeaux), a few good bakeries (Bella Cakes & Farm Cottage, which relocated from the Quay), and of course the new Starbucks (hey, I like my lattes). Now it's looking like Sapperton's revitalization was more fragile than it seemed.
The City of New West is doing streetscape improvements in the area. You'd think this would be a good thing. But when four months' worth of construction turned into 10 months, customers just stopped coming. And now it looks like East Columbia is in crisis.
Kids Kloset relocated Uptown. Pedagogy Toys has said this may be their last Christmas season, unless sales are unexpectedly strong. And now Bella Cakes says it may not be able to last much longer either.
On the bright side, I hear that newly opened Graze Market & Deli is amazing. Holland Shopping Centre seems to be doing pretty well since moving from 8th Ave. in Glenbrook to Columbia. And (a mixed success) Karmavore is doing so well that they are relocating to a much larger location … only it's in Downtown New West!
Sapperton's boutiques haven't been shuttered yet. Fie on the roadwork! I'm going to make a point of doing at least one pre-Christmas shopping trip in Sapperton this year and I hope you do the same.
Have I missed any great Sapperton shops or restaurants that could use some link lovin' (and customers!)?

This is very cool.
Louisiana Department of Corrections has started a revolutionary program allowing inmates to earn a certificate as an American Sign Language interpreter for the deaf.
Truth Out reports on the program which has been called "one of a kind" in the U.S. prison system. The program teaches inmates ASL, which then allows them to possibly earn jobs after incarceration or become "offender interpreters," or interpreters for other inmates.
While the program has a lot of supporters, it hasn't come without criticism. Deaf advocates have complained that offender interpreters are paid too low a wage or nothing at all. But this is a common trend among many prison work programs (if not all), and is certainly not unique to offender interpreters.
But graduates of the program speak highly of it. Scott Huffman, one of the first graduates of the ASL program told Truth Out,
"Not only do we lead the world in incarceration, we have a unjust system, especially for these deaf, deaf-blind, deaf-disabled, hard of hearing prisoners. They live in a prison within a prison, so not only are they incarcerated, but now they're extra incarcerated because they don't have communication."
He added that during his five-year sentence, he noticed that deaf inmates were "easy targets" for sexual abuse by other inmates and physical abuse by the guards.
After getting released, Scott has used his new understanding of deaf culture to become an advocate and help ensure that video systems that allow deaf prisoners to call home are installed, as required by law.
Rights for the deaf and incarcerated may still be severely lacking, but this is certainly something bright. And while the Louisiana Department of Corrections has a amend for, this is one tiny step on the right path. Finally.

Way back in 1968, the year I entered journalism in Ahmedabad, I would never have thought of asking my News Editor, if I could do a piece on the famous Kanda Bhajiyas (onion bhajiyas) of Raipur Chakla or interview the head Maharaj (cook) of the popular eating house Chandra Vilas known for its incomparable dal, jalebi, fafda-chutney and topless waiters. He would have questioned my sanity. The profession had rigid, clear ideas on what went into it. News was strictly divided into accepted Beats — government, politics, civic affairs, crime, education and a smattering of local affairs. Food and eating were strictly private and did not fit into this format. Advertisements occasionally covered accommodation and comforts offered by hotels, but not restaurants. Exceptions were women's magazines like Femina and Eve's Weekly which devoted one page to recipes. The westernised affluent readers sought out the British publication, Woman & Home, if they wanted to bake cakes.
The tradition-bound Indian society favoured eating in the privacy of homes. On my first foreign trip I was astonished at everyone eating and snacking on the roads. Roadside eateries were always crowded and one saw meat being grilled, roasted, fried and served. Bigger Indian cities took to this style of eating. Bade Miyan, just outside Mumbai's Taj Mahal Hotel which specialised in kebabs, tandoori chicken and meat dishes became a popular roadside eatery and even attracted the five-star guests at the Taj. But food writing took time to develop. Times of India's star reporter Behram Contractor ("Busybee") made use of a daily column "Round and About" to write occasional pieces on city restaurants. His simple style and endearing human interest angles brought alive Bombay's Irani Restaurants ( Brun maska, Butter biscuits, Berry pulao and tea), Udupi restaurants and " idli-sambar-chutney" eating places of Matunga, Gujarati thali in special restaurants of Kalbadevi, fried fish joints at Sion-Koliwada.
The amazing variety of Bombay life would not be complete without references to its food and Busybee, though he did not rank his eating places, but did much to evolve the progress of food writing. The "Round And About" columns brought out in book form sold briskly. Busybee's contribution continued with his talented wife, Farzana Contractor, bringing out the popular though expensive and glossy food magazine, Upper Crust.
Indian journalism from the 1990's expanded. It became more colourful and began to reach a larger target audience with supplements, celebrity coverage and unexplored human interest angles. Economic liberalisation brought big money, foreign investment which boosted local media with hefty doses of advertisements.
More Indians went abroad and began to appreciate French, Italian, Mexican, Japanese and other international cuisine. These had to be written about and food writing got a big boost. Journalism suddenly had new stars, the food critics and food writers.
The New York Times already had eminent food writers like Craig Claiborne who brought fame and prestige to the paper, and Indian food writing gradually began to catch up. Initially, the process was not selective; any good feature writer was considered good enough to write on food.
"Food writing needs certain special qualities," says Neha Sumitran, former food critic for Mumbai magazine Time Out now with National Geographic Explorer. "Good writing skills are a must along with deep interest in food from market to mouth. It helps if the food writer herself can cook. While ambience, service and other aspects did count, the final judgment was based on the quality of food."
Former editor, columnist and TV personality Vir Sanghvi was as much at home with food writing as he was with national politics. Travelling within the country or abroad for at least 15 days a month and rubbing shoulders with celebrity chefs, Sanghvi pointed to the tremendous amount of research that went into food writing. On a visit to Turkey, Sanghvi spent days establishing links between Indian cuisine with dishes like pilaf, kebabs and the popular sweet jalebi which was served in several Middle East nations under different names — zulubiya, zellabiya, z'labia and zalabiya. These details may not enhance the taste and flavour of the jalebi but were appreciated by food connoisseurs.
Sanghvi and other food writers imparted knowledge because food writing was not just about the flavour, taste and ambience of dishes. Ignorance was not bliss in the art of cooking. He faults Indian chefs for ignoring dishes like deep-fried chicken pakora which were served only in a few restaurants like Delhi's Moti Mahal. Food writing helped customers select the right kind of restaurants and order the right kind of dishes. Often food writers demolished the concept that the most expensive restaurants served the best food. The stress and tensions of modern world can be checked to a certain extent eating the right kind of food. HT Café carried a good piece on the importance of a good, nutritious breakfast, a formula strictly followed by Ian Fleming's James Bond. Perhaps it made him fitter, enabling him to fight and love better!
Knowledge imparted by good food writing entertained us in many ways. It satisfied our longings for nostalgia (ask the readers of The Hindu, which is strong on nostalgia). One recent Music season piece recollected that Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer loved Milagu rasam, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar asked for Chow Chow kootu, while ghatam S. Karthick went into raptures over Poricha kootu and Paruppu urundai kozhambu. Readers devoted to music reviews were also delighted with this kind of food writing.
One of the most readable additions to The Hindu Sunday Magazine was the Food Safari column which brought back long forgotten delights of Ramassery Idli and Kovilpatti Kadalai Mittai.
Similarly Mumbai readers were always thankful to Busybee for bringing back memories of Mawa cakes. As someone who stole and ate up grandmother Kaveri Patti's special palaharam — Morkali, I was delighted to read about the comeback of traditional food items like kambankoozh, varagu biriyani, and parangi adai, which were far superior and healthier than today's fancy junk food. But for good food writing these would be lost to us.
TV food programmes were also increasingly popular but housewives I talked to would rather go by print food journalism and cookery tips which gave them enough time to pore over varieties of ingredients and cooking details. They pointed out that TV food shows were more elitist, required ingredients which were not easily available, and more expensive. Perhaps these factors explained why the well-made foreign food shows were more popular than the desi versions.
Finally food ads added spice to our newspaper reading. Shanghai Annachi — what a cute name for a restaurant! I may never watch the film but I loved its title Kanna, laddu thinna asaya. I would rather have the laddu but what a title!

This is the funniest thing I've seen a President do since his dad King Bush I threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister in 1992. Priceless.
After all the lies, deceit, torture, war, fearmongering, hatred, and finally financial ruin perpetrated by the administration, it took an Iraqi journalist to do something that our timid American media never had the stones to do. Tell Dubya that he's a goddamned liar and that he screwed up Iraq (not to mention our own country) from the get-go.
And give him a boot to the head.
Too bad the guy missed, but Dubya has had years of practice dodging accountability, checks and balances to his abuses of power, regulations and safeguards to the financial markets, or constitutional protections for anyone, so he had no problem dodging a couple of shoes.
This may likely be a preview of what's going to be a long post-presidency for Dubya as he shuffles off to Texas-- and it may be more than just shoes next time, as Herbert Hoover found out when his vehicle would get pelted with eggs and rotten fruit. We'll see if Dubya's Presidential Library gets rejected by every city it tries to go to, like Nixon's. (I wonder if the library will have a copy of The Pet Goat, and whether any shoes will be allowed in the building).
Meanwhile, the whole shoe-gate thing has taken on a life of its own in the 'Net, something that could never have happened when Ford fell down and all we had was SNL to lampoon it.
For one, the whole matrix is getting into the action now:
And of course the whole world of Flash-based web games has responded instantaneously.
Sock and Awe
Bush Boot Camp
And of course the hilarious mash-up video that Sabot posted earlier.
Meanwhile, the journalist that actually had the stones to do this is in all kinds of trouble. I don't know why people are upset at him, he's only following the lyrics from the Frantics' "Boot to the Head" song:
People talking in movie shows,
People smoking in bed!
People voting republican,
Give them a boot to the head!
Boot to the head! yah, yah...
Boot to the head! yah, yah...
Boot to the head! yah, yah...
Boot to the head! yah yah yah.. yah. yah yah yah...
Mechanics who can't fix a car,
Politicians who can't think!
The salesman who won't leave me alone,
The waiter who forgot my drink!
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
Boot to the head! Yah, yah..
This video is inaccurate though, for Dubya is not the know-it-all brother Ralston.
He's more like Hedge, the alcoholic brother who never worked a day in his life.
Perhaps Dubya can turn things around in his post-Presidential years by turning to physical comedy a la Jim Carrey or Chevy Chase. Or Jim Varney.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night movie review: blood pressure
I'm "biast" (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic's minifesto)
This is the "Iranian vampire spaghetti western" you've likely heard about. Iranian-American filmmaker Ana Lily Amirpour dubbed her debut film that herself, and I'll cram two more modifiers in there: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is the Iranian skateboarding vampire feminist spaghetti western we have all been waiting for. We just didn't realize it till now. The tiny release it had in the U.S. last autumn (after its acclaimed appearance at 2014 Sundance) meant not many people had a chance to see it, but now it's available on demand (it opens theatrically in the U.K. in May), and I recommend it highly for its fresh feel of creepy cool. Shot in Southern California but with dialogue in Farsi, this is the tale of an unnamed Girl (Sheila Vand: Argo) who haunts the nearly deserted streets of the fictional Iranian town Bad City, dispatching wicked men — particularly men who hurt women — with her bloodsucking fangs and warning little boys to behave themselves, because she's watching. Amirpour is more concerned with atmosphere than plot, and yet the uncanny aura she creates, with the help of Lyle Vincent's gorgeously sinister black-and-white cinematography, envelopes the Girl's unlikely new relationship with kindly (and mortal) Arash (Arash Marandi) and engorges the slender story with suspense and desire. This is an enrapturing film, as fun as it is eerie, and marks the arrival of a major new talent with an innovative eye and a refreshingly unconventional approach to cinematic storytelling even as she covers seemingly well-trod ground. I can't wait to see what she's got up her sleeve next.

To make a treasure box it is really quite simple; you will need a container big enough to hold the "treasures", some marbles, gems, or coins to track the kid's progress, and a personalized container for each child to store their earnings. I personally recommend involving the kids in the making of the treasure box and personalized containers as it is a great opportunity to give them a sense of ownership and excitement for the new program to be implemented.
Some tips to remember when implementing a new reward system to acheive it's maximum potential:
1.) Establish how your children can earn their
marbles, write them down together so there is no confusion as to how to earn them
2.) Be consistent! Always reward for your established
behaviors and Never reward for things not on the list... unless you are altering the list. Giving marbles "just because" or as special treats can actually compromise the integrity of the program because your children can become unclear as to how to earn them. Also, not rewarding something that has previously been
rewarded in the past can be discouraging for the kids.
3.) Make the end goal achievable; You would not want to make your toddler earn as many marbles as your 9 year old. I make my preschooler earn 3 marbles before he can cash them in. (he has the option to save them too though) and my 8 year old has to earn 5 before she can cash hers in.
4.) Do not delay rewarding/ praising your child for good behavior. A delay in doling out earned rewards can take away from the sense of accomplishment for a young child. So try to do everything you can to prevent that situation.
5.) Find out what your child's currency is and use that. Often we get distracted and don't realize that the very reason a child is misbehaving is because they are wanting attention. Therefore when we drop everything to discipline them, we are in fact, accidently rewarding them. A great way to stop this cycle is to ignore such behaviors and reward desired behaviors with time. I have made some coupons that you can print out and laminate and put in your treasure box. And the best part.... they are free! I will attatch a link at the end of this entry.
6.) As you child exhibits proficiency in his or her areas of concern- make it more challenging or switch to a new area of concern. We don't continue to reward our teenagers every time they poop on the potty for a reason- it is ridiculous! But it is easy to become complacent in our parent/child dynamic and more commone than I care to admit! Just remember the benefit of this system is to encourage accountability and socially resonsible behaviors- not to raise an entitled child that will only behave for treats!
Loses points in Entertaining and Clean-Up only because they are not applicable when implimenting the system.
And as Promised.....
Coupon Printables
Supports the Progression of:
Cognative Function- Cause and effect, critical thinking to acheive a goal, simple math by adding the marbles, self discipline by adjusting behaviors and reactions to acheive a common goal.
Fine Motor Skills-Picking up small items and putting them in jar.
Ocular Motor-Decorating and personalizing the jars. Executing a creative plan within established parameters.
Social Skills- Teaches anything and everything that you use the system for. From empathy, appropriate emotional responses, frustration tolerance, sharing, and responsibility, to self esteem, pride, accountability, discipline of delayed gratification and generosity. The sky is the limit with this one!!!!!

This Year On Twitter: Most Retweeted Tweets, Anonymous Exposes Pedophiles, Buying Twitter Followers
Need a little end-of-year reading? We've compiled our top ten most highly-trafficked Twitter stories of 2012, which includes a look at the top 10 most retweeted tweets of all time (with a brand-new number one), how Anonymous exposed pedophiles on Twitter, the first ever-live tweet commercial, social media statistics and facts and why buying Twitter followers is never a good idea.
Here are our top 10 Twitter stories of the year.
1. REVEALED: Twitter's 10 Most Retweeted Tweets Of All Time
As you might expect, Twitter's list of the most retweeted tweets of all time is dominated by celebrities. And it changes a lot. Currently, Twitter's retweet champion is President Barack Obama, with his November 7 re-election victory tweet racking up more than half a million shares, good enough to keep previous title-holder Justin Bieber very much in his taillights. Here are Twitter's ten most retweeted tweets of all time.
2. Anonymous Exposes Pedophiles On Twitter
What's worse than knowing pedophiles exist in the world? How about having them get all 'in your face' on Twitter with posts looking for, talking about or sharing pictures of children? Yeah, this is happening – and Anonymous is exposing them, one sick twist at a time.
3. Prometheus Trailer To Be Part Of First-Ever Live Tweet Commercial
Ridley Scott's Prometheus is garnering a lot of buzz online, and it's about to hit new heights. The UK TV network Channel 4 will air the world premier of the official trailer this weekend, followed by the first-ever commercial chock-full of live Twitter reactions.
4. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram – Social Media Statistics And Facts 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]
Did you know that links about sex are shared on Facebook more than any other type of content? Or that 25 percent of Facebook users don't bother with any kind of privacy control? What if we told you that if Twitter was a country, it would be the twelfth largest in the world? Would you be amazed to know that 97 percent of fans on the Pinterest Facebook Page are women, or that images shared on Instagram receive, collectively, 575 Likes per second?
5. If You Buy Twitter Followers, You'll Regret It
We've told you before that buying Twitter followers does not work, but it appears to be time for a refresher.
6. How Do People Spend Their Time Online? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Did you know that social networking is now the most popular online activity, with users spending more than one fifth (22 percent) of their time engaging on channels such as Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest?
7. The Ultimate Social Media Sizing Cheat Sheet [INFOGRAPHIC]
Whether you're new to the game or a socially savvy marketing veteran, setting up a new Twitter profile or Facebook Page can be a time-consuming process, especially when it comes to working out the sizes of all the images you need to make your channels – or those of your clients – stand out from the crowd. And what about the other social platforms, like Pinterest and Google+? Wouldn't it be great if somebody could put all of this information on a single page?
8. Twitter On Track For 500 Million Total Users By March, 250 Million Active Users By End Of 2012
Facebook reached one billion users in 2012. That's an absolutely amazing number – approximately 14 percent of the world's population. What's even more impressive is these are active users, Facebook's definition of which is people who log in at least once a month. Which doesn't seem particularly active, to be honest, but this has essentially become the industry standard now. So how does Twitter compare?
9. The Ultimate Timeline Of Social Networks, 1960-2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]
If you're a history buff, or you simply like looking at info-packed infographics, this one's for you: a complete history of the evolution of social networks, from the 1960s to today. In the early days of social, there was BBS or Bulletin Board System. Remember those? If you do, don't feel old – you're part of a revolution! This was one of the first ways that people used the internet to send messages back and forth, and upload data to share with one another. It's like the first Facebook!
10. Just How Big Is Twitter In 2012? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Did you know that Twitter now has more than half a billion registered profiles, with over 100 million in the USA alone? What if we told that, collectively, Twitter users now send 175 million tweets every day? And that the most popular events on Twitter generate (literally) tens of thousands of tweets every second?

Event in Review
Date: January 11th 2014
Theme: New Years in Vegas
# of Entertainers: 5
Entertainment Services Provides: LED Stage Show, Roving Showgirls & Close-up Magic
Location: Calgary, AB
Last weekend myself Cassandra Bonham and two lovely ladies from Fable Entertainment (Marissa Puff and Amy Senecal came together to put on an amazingly fun show. LED Hoop, Poi and Staff group acts paired with amazing dance choreography left the crowd with that wow-factor we always strive for.
The event was a staff party themed "New Years in Vegas". There was a flight attendant at the door to welcome guests to fabulous Las Vegas, there were showgirls (us), casino tables and a countdown to midnight (at 7pm). It was such a blast and a truly original idea for a special event theme.
Thank you so much to Lucky Shot who both connected us with the client but also took these amazing image, he is a very talented photographer we were so glad to have the opportunity to work with.

There's no shortage of fish at the American Slovak Club. Since it first opened its doors in 1956, the Lorain club has been hosting its fish fry every Friday night year-round as a way to bring a sense of nostalgia back to many people in the community.
"The people who grew up in Lorain grew up with the Slovak Club's fish fry," says Theresa Arendt, the food service manager. "When people who moved from the area come to visit, this is the first place they want to come."
What started off as a small, 80-cent fish fry has since evolved into a menu that highlights a wide variety of seafood and Slovak dishes. The fish of choice is still a 7 1/2-ounce Lake Erie yellow perch dinner ($17.95) served with a number of sides, including a rotating list of 70 different soups such as cream of tomato basil and sauerkraut soup. A variety of ethnic and classic dishes also pepper the menu, such as cabbage rolls and pierogies, served alongside house-made condiments and traditional Slovak sides such as cabbage and noodles.
For those wanting to up their fish fry game, you can even order a pound of Lake Erie yellow perch ($29.95) or dive right into a bowl of New England chowder or seafood gumbo made with scallops, shrimp, crab, tomatoes, green peppers and onions. Other non-seafood options include the chicken corn chowder or three pierogies in melted butter, smothered with sauteed onions. It's all made by the club's staff.
"The recipes are the same recipes we've had since we started. People expect that," says Arendt. "The consistency and quality are what's most important." Available every Friday year-round, 11 a.m.-7:45 p.m. 2915 Broadway Ave., Lorain, 440-245-5146,

Decorating with white accessories seems to give a room a soft, calm, and at the same time, bright, clean feeling. They aren't always easy to find at some of my favorite shops though. A few years ago I found these three small white vases at IKEA and love them! So I decided to paint some of the accessories I already had white. After searching online I found lots of great tips the project. In the midst of all this a friend needed some pieces for her office bookshelves and we found some great things at a thrift store to try to transform!
First, I washed everything in warm soapy water and dried it thoroughly. Some sites I visited used canned air to "dust" the pieces off. That seemed like a pretty good idea, but I wanted to make sure any grime and dirt was washed away, so maybe doing both would be best!
Then I found a medium-sized cardboard box with one side open and laid it on its side. Placing my first piece in the box, I began to spray on the primer. Use short strokes…don't just hold down the nozzle and spray away. The paint will go on too heavy and begin to run and drip. I carefully turned the piece to get solid coverage. I let the primer dry (which happens fast) and then began spraying on the gloss white paint using the same short stroke technique. Let dry. Then I added a second coat of white and allowed it to dry. Lastly, the clear gloss was sprayed on the piece and allowed to dry completely! It is really this simple!!
This project was definitely worth the little bit of time, effort, and little bit of expense it took to accomplish! The results were just as I had hoped! Undoubtedly, this effect can be mastered in any color of your choosing!
*The photos of the painting process were taken using my friend's pieces. The others are pieces I painted for myself.

text: So, I've been waiting patiently for MONTHS to post this invitation! I wanted to wait until Kristin and Blake were married on June 4th in Hawaii. And, I'm glad to finally say that I can post this amazing invitation for all to see. When Kristin came to meet with me earlier this year, she brought a few inspiration pictures and lots of ideas. Color me happy! She fell in love with our caribbean blue "tiles" patterned cardstock and knew that it had to be a big part of the design. The other thing she wanted was me to design a vintage looking hibiscus for the invitation. Well, when these ideas all came together, the entire studio was in awe of this beauty! And, I could keep gushing, but I think I'll just share the pics instead. So congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Bloomfield…hope the wedding in paradise was magical. Enjoy!
