It's a matter of plugins…
A brief history of plugin support in Gedit (and Gnome)
Gedit is one of the oldest softwares of the Gnome fame, and it got a major overhaul in time for Gnome 2.14. This was an eternity ago: the new mdi branch was merged in late 2005. This nearly full rewrite dropped many then obsolete dependencies (BonoboUI, popt) and introduced many innovations over the previous versions, some of those spreading into the whole Gnome project.
One of the best known innovations was a replacement for all those annoying dialog boxes that popped for very good reasons at the worst possible moment. Understanding that those messages were very contextual in nature (they were always related to a particular document in some tab), the dialog boxes were replaced by coloured message areas embedded directly in the tab. This brand new idea got used by several other applications, and eventually got into Gtk+ lately under the name "GtkInfoBar".
Another of those innovations was the brand new plugin capabilities it offered. At that time, it was possible to extend Gedit with C plugins for a long time, but with Gedit 2.14 came a few new capabilities:
Object-Oriented Plugins. From then on, plugins were objects that inherited from a base plugin class. Overriding virtual methods became the standard way of defining the plugin behaviour. And this was nice, as more and more people are familiar with object-oriented programming these days.
Python Plugins. PyGTK was in a very good state and Epiphany, the web browser everyone likes, was already using it to give access to its internals to python developpers. Gedit borrowed it and extended it to allow writing plugins as python objects as well.
This plugins engine has been very successful, and a lot of specialised plugins appeared in a few years. It was also transplanted to a lot of other Gnome applications (Eye of Gnome, Rhythmbox and Totem to cite the most prominent ones) but we never made a library out of it: creating and maintaining python bindings was time consuming and tedious, and it didn't make sense to have a library if every users of it would have to duplicate half of the code anyway.
But things have changed…
Introducing libpeas
This is why I am very proud to announce the first release of libpeas. libpeas is the next evolution of the Gedit plugins engine, and is targetted at giving every application the chance to assume its own extensibility. It also has a set of enhanced features with regard to what Gedit used to provide, mirroring the desiderata of your favourite text editor's developpers.
Multiple extension points.
One of the most frustrating limitations of the Gedit plugins engine was that it
only allows extending a single class, called
GeditPlugin. With
libpeas, this limitation vanishes, and the application writer is now
able to provide a set of
GInterfaces the plugin writer will be
able to implement as his plugin requires.
On-demand programming language support. libpeas comes with a set of supported languages (currently, C, Python and Javascript). Those languages are supported through "loaders" which are loaded on demand. What it means is that you only pay for what you use: if you have no Python plugin, the Python interpreter won't be loaded in memory. Of course, the same goes for the C and for the Seed/JS loader.
Damn simple to use (or at least we try hard). Adding support for libpeas-enabled plugins in your own application is a matter of minutes. You only have to create an instance of the plugins engine, and call methods on the implementations of the various extension points. That's it, no clock harmed.
A shared library for everyone. As I noted earlier, the latest improvements of our beloved development platform made it possible to create bindings for apps very quickly. And with the Gnome 3 announcement, this looked like the perfect timing to make the plugins engine and its latest improvements available to everyone, with a library. Also, hopefully it will reduce code duplication and allow bugs to be fixed at the right place, once and for all, improving the quality of our applications.
As a member of the Gnome community and as an offspring of gedit, libpeas already shares most of the Gnome infrastructure and philosophy:
- You can download the first release tarball on the Gnome FTP servers.
- You can browse the source and contribute using our git repository.
- You can come and discuss with me and others on #libpeas (GimpNet).
- And you can report bug or propose new features through the good old Gnome Bugzilla, against the libpeas module.
Many many thanks for their support to those who made this possible, and especially to the current very active gedit team (Paolo Borelli, Jesse van den Kieboom, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro and Garett Regier).
A few hints on using libpeas
As always for the new projects, it can take some time to grasp all the subtleties at first.
Plugins versus Extensions.
Something that is going to puzzle most of the newcomers is the fact that the libpeas API talks about both plugins and extensions, two terms that are usually used interchangeably, but who have very different meanings in libpeas.
Let's try and give a definition of both of these words in this context:
Plugin. In the context of libpeas, a plugin is a logical package. It's what you will enable or disable from the UI, and at the end it is what the user will see. An example of plugin for gedit would be the file browser plugin.
Extension. An extension is an object which implements an interface associated to an extension point. There can be several extensions in a single plugin. Examples of extensions provided by the file browser plugin would be the configuration dialog, the left panel pane and a completion provider for file names.
Building libpeas
Building libpeas is quite straightforward. But you need to be careful
to build pygobject with the
--enable-pygi option if you
plan on using the Python bindings capability, or you will experience weird
Sample code
The libpeas package contains a sample application called peas-demo, and sample plugins written in C, Python and Javascript.
I'm not going to cut and paste a lot of code here, but the global idea is this
one: you create a new
PeasEngine instance and give it the
information needed for it to find your plugins. Then you load some plugins
(you can use the
PeasUIPluginManager for that purpose) and
perform actions through some
PeasExtensions objects you can get
from the engine.
The engine is the main object for the libpeas integration. It will
handle the loading and unloading of the various plugins, and it will give you
The plugin info object contains all the information about a plugin. It is
available even when the plugin is not loaded.
This is an extension, as seen from the application point of view. It is
actually a proxy to the real extension, and provides a single
peas_extension_call method that will allow you to call a method
of the extension by name. The reason why it is a proxy instead of being the
actual extension from the plugin is that some of the bindings don't support
GObject subclassing (and don't plan to). Also, not using the actual object
directly avoids quite a lot of hard-to-debug reference issues. Thrust me on
that, I tried!
This is an automatically updated group of
PeasExtensions. At any
moment of time, a
PeasExtensionSet instance will contain one
PeasExtension for each plugin loaded that provides the target
PeasActivatable and
Those are the two current built-in extension interfaces. The former defines an
object which will be activated on object creation and deactivated on object
destruction, while the latter is used by the embedded plugin manager UI, to
provide a configuration dialog. You can of course provide your own extension
What's next?
We are now planning on porting a few apps to libpeas in the following weeks. Several contributors already marked their interest in libpeas for the application they contribute to, and I would like myself to see our mighty text editor ported as well. I guess I will be posting more announcements for ported apps and niceties as time passes.
But libpeas is far from a finished project yet. Below are a few tracks for future development of libpeas. Don't hesitate to jump in!
Great documentation. The current documentation for libpeas is, well, the bare minimum. There is a quite complete reference documentation for the API, but there is no howto, no implementation guide for the plugins in various languages, etc. And a good documentation contributes a lot to making a good library.
Named extension points.
Extension points are currently defined by interface types. While this works
great for many use cases (Nautilus has done this for ages), it's actually quite
limitative sometimes. For instance, the
PeasActivatable interface,
which defines an extension that can be activated, and then deactivated on
objects of a certain type, could easily be re-used in different contexts:
windows, tabs, documents. So you can easily see that named extension points
here would be a nice feature.
Construction-time properties.
Currently, extensions are instanciated with no dynamic arguments. But in some
cases, it would be nice if we were able to give some arguments at instanciation
time, through GObject properties. For instance,
extensions are usually related to a single object, but currently this object is
give as an argument for each of the methods of the interface. Passing it to the
extension at creation time and removing that argument from the method
prototypes would be a nice touch.
More automatisms. With the rise of GSettings, it would now be possible for libpeas to manage itself the storage of the plugins state. It would then make sense to deal ourselves with "invisible" and "autoloaded" plugins, which are currently left at the application discretion.
Vala and C++ support. Adding support for those should not be hard, and would turn out to be very low cost as both are compiled languages and would make use of the existing loader. Totem already has Vala support, too, and the C loader has been thought with C++ support in mind, thanks to Debarshi Ray.
Guile support. This might be the nasty secret desire of mine, but I've always found Scheme support for plugins appealing. And this might well become true if sbank succeeds, and with Andy Wingo's support… Andy?
So, here is the current status of libpeas. Now, download it, try it, and come and join us on #libpeas to share your thoughts!

Part 2 Event coverage from honda day held in English Town N.J raceway park 8/10/13 once again great turn out and friendly atmosphere. Be sure to also check part 1 coverage from this event. Read More
Finally it is here the weekend for all the Honda fanatics "Honda Day" in English Town N.J at Raceway Park where thousands gathered to spectate and witness the best of the best from all across the east coast take turns down the quarter mile. This fun day event is not just for the pros but also the newbies and first timers get a few passes down the track as well to see what kind of times they can through up on the boards.
Meet spongebob, one of the meanest, cleanest and well put together Civic in the East, Built and not bought you can just look at it and tell alot of time and money was invested. I can hear it already, "but it's only a civic!, No traction!, Fwd what a waste of power." and the list goes on as enthusiasts battle and rant at each other on what is the better option. When all is said and done it all boils down to our own preference and likes and this is what keeps things interesting no one person is alike.

There are countless such things which people tend to purchase over a daily basis and when it comes to getting hands on the right kind of cream you may need to consider a few things as well. However, when it comes to getting hands on the right form of anti gaining cream you may go for the erase repair ha. This cream is something very seamless in all aspects and provides for a lot of ease and consideration in all regards.
However, when it comes to getting hands on the most appropriate form of cream the main reason of the popularity of erase repair ha there are many reasons which have made this cream a suitable choice in all aspects a few of which may include the following:
- This cream is not filled up with numbers ingredients with no verification and rather this cream has been provided with a natural base of ingredients which makes it a suitable choice at all times with an organic base as well.
- This cream is also something suitable for people who have a frequent exposure of the sun; people may make the best use of this cream as a suitable consideration when you are exposed to sun it helps protecting your face.
- At one point where this cream deals with the issue of wrinkles on your face at the same time when it comes to uneven tone, acne and other kinds of skin related problems you may get your hands on this kind of cream since it is much on the side of being suitable for dealing with all kinds of skin related issues.
These factors may provide anyone with a lot of ease when it comes to dealing with different kinds of skin related problems because of the outclass reviews people have been giving over it.

A signature and comments on the Petition to Obama –
http://wavr.org/petition/ToObama.php <http://wavr.org/petition/ToObama.php>
M. A. T. (New York) 21 Apr 2009
I am a father of 3. I have worked in a microwave research lab among experimental base station technologies, am a member of IEEE/ACM and other key organizations in the field, also teach students in Masters level. I am very aware of the existing state of the art research, and have communicated with leading researchers, from Sweden (Dr. Olle Johansson who works on mast cell/immune system studies), USA (Dr. Singh at University of Seattle, works with Dr. Henry Lai on doublestrand DNA breakup studies), Finland (Dariusz Leszczynski at Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority who works on HSP27 protein changes) matters related to Ghz range microwave radiation (incl. WLAN/WIFI/Airport/802.xx/Bluetooth/Dect and cell phone health risks. The consensus among these people, and among dozens of other key researchers appears to be that the situation is alarming, especially considering the safety of children (but also adults).
U.S. Government, Congress, and White House should invite these people, along with all other researchers who are members of the http://www.bioinitiative.org, Lennart Hardell, G. Khurana, Sanjay Gupta etc to Congressional hearings related to these matters as soon as possible. There is no time to waste as the learning abilities, health, and therefore, the future of our children and our society as a whole is, unfortunately, very much at stake.
Considering what the existing research, EU REFLEX and INTERPHONE studies etc show, there are people who are also concerned about the fact that one can still publicly see our President using a cell phone next to the brain without a wired ear piece. A wired earpiece is recommended by most EMF/RF researchers as a precautionary measure. In addition, when asked by Larry King, none of the leading neurosurgeons recently recently interviewed by him use cellphone next to the head/brain, rather use an earpiece.
Biological (non thermal) effects of microwave based radiation are measurable and numerous, causing a significant public health hazard and liability. Military use of microwave radiation based devices makes the matter naturally even more complex.
The cell phone industry, unfortunately, has vehemently denied the existence of any nonthermal effects, but even a 14 year old has received the correct answer re: nonthermal effects from a scientist in Argonne National Laboratory, 10 years ago.
In addition, NOKIA itself mentions Glioma and risks to Myelin sheets already in 1993 in its numerous patents:
6,259,896 Device for radio communication
6,088,579 Device for radio communication 5,787,340 Radiation shielding apparatus for communication device
Microwave radiation creates a major hazard to our children's learning abilities/cognitive skills. Latest Swedish study by Dr. Hardell at Orebro Hospital has found a 2-4 x rise in the risk of Glioma for people using cell phones for more than 10 years, on the same side of the head as the cell phone has been used. In addition, German doctors have noticed unnormal brain activity in children for hours, after only few minutes of cell phone use. The dilemma here is clearly that it is considered unethical to test the possible health effects of microwave radiation on children, but it appears to be ethical for major entertainment and wireless companies to collaborate in selling branded cellphones with animation characters.
Unfortunately, the public is not properly informed about the nature of the cutting edge research in the field. The White House has the responsibility of being informed about these matters. Therefore, again, I am suggesting that you would gather all leading international researchers for a meeting, in collaboration with your leading science and health advisors
Below are some key links which should enlighten the matter, effectively proving that there are clear measurable effects by cell phone radiation.

❝ …It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified. ❞ – Hanya Yanagihara
Hello lovelies. Let's talk.
~ Relationships ~
Something that irks me about them- or rather how they're represented & perceived by a lot of mainstream contemporaries & The very rigid labelled boxes these characters seem to be folded into.
How each character is puppeteered into these fine strategic lines, how preconceived the extent of a characters growth curve seems to be.
When you slide into the folds of a contemporary novel with all its synoptic promise, You want to get lost, you want to welcome the words that are weaving past you, building up its gossamer wall, sealing you in. You want to get full body immersed into the artistry of the words, feel the tingly build up of the serendipity of the story – feel it sting you from your curling toes to the squeal rising upward your throat.
You want to be romanced by the words.
The best of contemporaries I've read, deliver this pointblank.
The rest? I feel cheated upon by.
Breaking down the fundamentals-
You get 1 character.
This character will be the romance & all the romance.
This character is so romantic ( with comma's of douche-canoeist burps & general emotional constipation) he- predominately it is a "he"– is romance incarnate.
Maybe it'll be 2 he's! Thus spreading what little space for discovery & supplementary character evolution, half as thin & slathering on twice the proportions on the protagonist Moronic-Monologue factor.
& then. The friend.
This friend will be female.
This friend will be fun & supportive, & have a very very specific time slot.
This friend, is, the ultimate filler.
Friendship just doesn't seem to be as valued or pivotally perceived by so many authors.
No, it is all about Mr. Romance.
Why I am reading Romance novels then? Isn't that what it should be all about?
I read this genre because I love love stories.
All kinds of love. & there are so many.
I yearn for those velvety moments, the most erotic & barest of a good romance. That inexplicit moment of being understood by another.
I don't see anymore wholesome belly-up banter, I don't see the lion heart loyalty & the steely trust or the camaraderie that springs from friendship in romance that dresses itself as love.
The flimsiness of these "grand romances" … It just seems like veneer to me.
Yet. Yet you claim this to be love ardently so?
I don't feel it in my belly or in my gut or in my heart or in my head.
I want to see more fluidity & spontaneity, crafting characters which have self-purpose. I want to see these characters put through the grinder, I want to see their chunks tear off & their core scab over, I want to see uncertainty & a heart that's not thumping solely for a plot, I want to see growth.
To witness these characters interact & stumble into each other & even stride away if consequence calls for.
I want to see real relationships-
Taste it's fleshy complexity of flavour, feel it's grit between my teeth.
Unhemmed at the seams, Free formed relationships.
These are the most intriguing & explicitly comfortable relationships I like to see developing in stories.
They may be friends, lovers, solely platonic or perhaps, most clearly, they have an inexplicable, undeniable bond. A bond that's beyond immediate, preplanned labelling.
I want to see more of that.
& to see less of ease & comfortability in a relationship slashed as synonymous to "boring" & unsavoury.
I cannot comprehend the amount of times I've read sentences like,
Dot-Dot-Dash was fire & brimstone, But I was most comfortable with So-&-So-Poor-Schmuck.
( Cause to be labelled comfortable, pretty much means you have been doomed unto the unbreachable, insurmountable -but very well defined- "friend zone" *gasp* )
To me, To be comfortable– absolutely uninhibitedly so- you have to be trusting enough. To so effortlessly rally this fragile yet heavy wrapped bundle of trust to another? You have to be comfortable enough.
So that slipping into vulnerability feels just like that.
Like gliding.
It's exhilarating.
That breathing space it gives to your spirit & to your mind.
To be so comfortable, so trusting, so unabashed with another.
Few people will harbour & cherish & challenge this trust, with a purity of intent. & to me, these characters, these people, are the most important.
Yet these are the characters that are least developed- but fill up so many paltry pages.
They are not even given a chance, because their sole purpose of existence is to fill a requiem slot & aid the plot forth.
Dog-earring this rambling, with a few final words.
Give me more.
Give me blurred lines & bonds that are beyond.
Do your characters justice. Write so that your pages breathe & your characters surprise even yourself.
Tear out the living, writhing words from within you & give them flight-

Going Militant #Atheist During Atheist Week 2012
Yes, you read that right. I went militant atheist this week. As this week was Atheist week, I decided I wasn't going to let the so called religious people at work steer the conversation towards that side any longer.
With people posting stuff they had printed out from home, filled with messages about how "good god was" or some story bringing the conversation to make it look like their god is so great. Enough was enough! I stepped out of the shadows to show them that they didn't control the world! Well at least not this part of it anyway.
I had discreetly posted a few things I printed out and hung them up for everyone to see.
The final outcome of my posting was faster than I had expected. Which goes to show just how uptight and stuck in their myths they are entrenched. I will admit that I didn't take credit for posting the things I printed out, but I was quite thoroughly accused of it w/o hard evidence (Which they are quick to do now a days). I did however get a "talking to, even though I admitted to nothing and told them that while I was used to being the whipping boy over such things, that if it saves someone else I was glad to do it and told them that I wasn't the only Atheist that works there but I would not name names as it was not place to out them.
The outcome I was hoping for was simple that people would get to talk, communicate and possibly that others that work there that were closeted Atheists would know that they were not alone. Especially this week.
However, that was not the outcome I got. But The end result was still a positive one regardless.
Now due to the "Sh*t storm" this created well at least according to the early morning dispatcher I deal with still asked me if I did it, and I told him flat out "No". Ok, its a lie. I know that. But in this world filled with over zealous Christians just looking for any excuse to put the axe to us any way they can, I wasn't ready to go that far. Not just yet. I still have to eat and feed my family so do you really blame me for telling them a fib in this instance? And for the record, its the first time I ever lied to them about ANYTHING! And quite frankly It doesn't bother me. At least not in regards to this event.
I had continued switching the postings in the morning up until Wednesday morning when I got confronted by my manager.
By today (Thursday morning) I was planning on posting one more things, the original title of the posting was going to be "Since when did god have a problem killing babies" and a bunch of scriptures that supported it. But after being confronted I thought I would be a bit more subtle about it. Use the same scriptures but use a different title "Gods Love"
Here is the button I was taking the scriptures from:
Here is the recreated one with the new title:
Same scriptures. However by the time I had this made, I found out that the "Sh*t storm" that the postings created, the outcome was now no one could post anything in the drivers room without approval from the terminal manager. Some may say, that takes away any fun stuff that someone might bring. Well, that is one way to look at it, but the other is that now included in that, now no one can post ANY religious materials in there either. Neither for or against religion.
The conversation has now been muted from the Atheist side of thing, but it has also silenced the religious side as well. I call that balance and that is still a WIN in my book!
Now my workplace will be free from religious dogma from now on, and if I never post another Atheist type posting either; I can live with that. It's more so that the Christians are the ones that will be brooding more now that the forum for pushing their dogma is now closed off and that makes them angry.
Well I have one thing to say about that… TOUGH! Keep your religion to yourself! The rest of us don't want to hear about it. Your faith or god is not something I want to listen to in anyway, and others as well but may have been to scared to say anything out of fear for their jobs or being ostracized by others. I've been an outside my whole life. This is nothing that is new to me so it affects me little if that happens.
Plus when when we have to talk about this, and their beliefs are challenged they run away and cry foul when we fight back.
Well no more. At least not in my part of the world you won't anymore.
Your dogma is dead there as it should be. There and everywhere else.
One Response to "Going Militant #Atheist During Atheist Week 2012"
You started discussion, you made people think and left in a safer and more neutral work environment!
Kudos, atheist!!!!

Have you ever needed to blow off some steam? Have you ever gone for a run or hit the gym to help release some stress? It works – right?! Exercise is a wonderful and healthy way to relieve stress. But there's something better and tomorrow I will begin an intensive month long training so I can teach it. So I can share it. So I can hopefully inspire and help 1 person, if not more, discover the tremendous healing benefits of what is known as Bikram yoga.
I came to Bikram because the counselor I was seeing almost five years ago told me I needed to do some yoga. I was a runner and triathlete laden with much dis-ease. At the time I had a 2 yr old and a 2 month old, and I was suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and depression as a result of a series of tragic and traumatic events in my life. My nervous system was on overdrive. My counselor basically told me I needed to try yoga to chill the F*** out. So I Googled yoga studios to see what was close to my house. Two studios came up. I had never heard of Bikram so I Googled that and when I read the class description it suited the endurance athlete in me. I went to my first class at Bikram Yoga Cape Cod and I was hooked. You never forget your first time, and yes, I had more fun in class than losing my virginity during the summer of 1998 😉
Now fun, is a relative term. Everyone has a different experience and if you ask one of my teachers about his first time you're going to get a different answer. But he kept going back. I kept going back. People keep coming back because it works. I've done a lot of other things to help heal myself both on a physical and mental level, and through the years Bikram has been a constant tool. It is a tool virtually ANYONE can use.
That is what I find amazing about Bikram. It is for beginners. You just show up and start wherever you are. Overweight? Great! Smoker? Perfect. Inflexible? Even better! SERIOUSLY. You just come, breathe, and stay in the room. Everything else is optional. You will feel AMAZING when you're done. But isn't it hot? Like 105 degrees hot? Yes. The heat is another tool. The heat allows you to open up. The heat teaches you to breathe and manage the uncomfortable. So yes, there is sweating. No it's not gross. That's what you are telling yourself. That's what your head says. So stop it! Try this instead – get in touch with how you feel when you sweat.
So go try it! Throw your excuses in the toilet and do a double flush. Yes, you can take the heat. Yes, it is safe. No you don't need to be flexible. Yes you can do it. If you are local come to BYCC! Hell I'll even pay for your first class. It is an AMAZING and WELCOMING community unlike no other Bikram studio. The people in this studio have become my yoga family. There is a lot of laughter and love in this very special place that I am grateful to call home.
Oh and PS – one more thing about the heat…most everyone dislikes it (even me), but what it does for your body and mind is what people fall in love with.

Democrats to pass more spending bills to pressure GOP on shutdown
With little evidence of progress in weekend talks to end a funding lapse which has triggered a partial government shutdown that's now into a third week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Saturday that the House would start passing individual bills to re-open specific departments and agencies in the federal government, in a bid to put public pressure on Republicans over the shutdown dispute.
"The senseless uncertainty and chaos of the Trump Shutdown must end, now," Pelosi said in a written statement, announcing that the House would vote first on a spending measure to fund the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service.
"This action is ncessary so that the American people can receive their tax refunds on schedule," Pelosi added.
Last Thursday – hours after taking charge of the House – Democrats pushed through two spending measures to re-open departments which saw their funding dry up starting on December 22.
Republicans have refused to bring those bills up for a vote in the Senate.
The goal of Democrats with this legislative gambit is simple – to put Republicans in the House on the record about opening up specific agencies and departments now under a partial shutdown.
A second goal is to increase pressure on Republicans in the U.S. Senate, where the first bill on the Senate floor in 2019 for consideration this coming week is not about the shutdown, but about foreign policy matters in the Middle East.
The announcement by Pelosi came after a day of negotiations at the White House involving Vice President Mike Pence and top Congressional aides; neither side reported any breakthrough to end the ongoing dispute over the President's border wall.
"The conversation was productive and they agreed to meet again," an aide to Pence told reporters, as the Vice President's office made clear that Democrats had been told the President wants funding in any agreement "for the border wall."
Mr. Trump stayed out of public view on Saturday, but used the bully pulpit of Twitter to criticize Democrats for their refusal to approve money for a wall, as Congress won't return to work in either the House or Senate until Tuesday.
"The Democrats could solve the shutdown in a very short period of time," the President wrote, a day after acknowledging that he told Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer that the shutdown could last 'months or even years' if he doesn't get his border wall funding.
Congress has approved five of the twelve spending bills which fund the operations of the federal government; the remaining seven bills fund about 25 percent of Uncle Sam, everything from the Border Patrol to the FAA, TSA, NASA, Justice Department, Commerce Department, EPA, and more.
While some Republican Senators indicated a desire to re-open the government – and continue negotiations on the border wall issue in the interim – there were no such cracks appearing among Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"We must end this shutdown now and provide certainty that hard-working families will receive their tax refunds on time," said Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), one of the dozens of new Democrats elected to the House in 2018, as she defeated a more conservative GOP incumbent in a suburban area outside Minneapolis.
"If President Trump is really concerned about national security then why isn't he paying employees at the FBI, TSA and other security agencies who work every day to protect this country?" said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
"Our constituents are speaking loud and clear," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), as Democrats blamed the President for creating a funding crisis.
Back home in their districts, Democrats went on a media offensive, with lawmakers going to national park facilities to pick up trash, highlighting how the shutdown has forced the National Park Service to curtail such services.
"For each day this shutdown continues, federal employees and contractors are left wondering when they will get their next paycheck and the bills are piling up," said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).
The next paycheck would ordinarily roll in on January 11 for most federal workers – but with the shutdown, that would be delayed until later in the month, putting pressure on workers who don't have an extra financial cushion.
But even some of those who are being inconvenienced say they didn't mind.
"It is holding up the sale of my house because HUD is closed," one person told me on Twitter. "But I still support the shutdown in order to #BuildThatWall."
The President was going to Camp David on Sunday to meet with top aides about the shutdown, and how best to hold Republicans together.
Only a handful of Republicans broke ranks last Thursday to vote for the two spending bills before the House. Reports indicated that the White House lobbied a number of GOP lawmakers to vote against the plans, in order to undercut Democratic Party efforts to divide Republicans on the shutdown.
At this point, Senate Majority Leader McConnell says he won't bring any bills up on the floor about the shutdown until there is an agreement with the White House which can pass the Senate with 60 votes or more.
Before Christmas, the President had told Senate GOP leaders that he supported a short term measure to keep the government. Then, at the urging of more conservative House members, the President changed his mind after the Senate had approved the plan, leading to the current standoff over money for his border wall.
On Sunday morning, Democrats posted the text of four different spending bills to be voted on in the coming week, laying the groundwork for the votes promised by Pelosi.
A bill funding the Treasury Department, IRS, and other financial agencies can be found here.
A bill funding transportation and housing programs is here.
A bill funding the Department of Agriculture, food stamps, and other related programs is here.
A bill to fund the National Park Service and other programs under the Interior Department is here.

Salz on Art Criticism
Picked up from several places, yeah, everybody's talking about it. But, it's worth a read.
From Jerry Salz - Seeing Out Loud
The best critics look for the same things in contemporary criticism that they look for in contemporary art. But they also have an eye. Having an eye in criticism is as important as having an ear in music. It means discerning the original from the derivative, the inspired from the smart, the remarkable from the common, and not looking at art in narrow, academic, or "objective" ways. It means engaging uncertainty and contingency, suspending disbelief, and trying to create a place for doubt, unpredictability, curiosity, and openness.
Dishearteningly, many critics have ideas but no eye. They rarely work outside their comfort zone, are always trying to reign art in, turn it into a seminar or a clique, or write cerebral, unreadable texts on mediocre work. There's nothing wrong with writing about weak art as long as you acknowledge the work's shortcomings. Seeing as much art as you can is how you learn to see. Listening very carefully to how you see, gauging the levels of perception, perplexity, conjecture, emotional and intellectual response, and psychic effect, is how you learn to see better.
Edward Winkleman has a response. There's a pretty good discussion in the comment section.
With art, in New York City, there's no such guarantee you'll ever know [whether a critic liked a show], even when you know they saw it, even for the largest artists or most powerful galleries. If The New York Times, for example, on average, publishes 7 major reviews and two articles in each Friday edition, that totals about 470 reviews each year. The problem is there are more about 470 exhibitions per month*, meaning that more than 11/12ths of all exhibitions will not be reviewed in the Times. For the Village Voice, the number of reviews is fewer than half that. So if you are the lucky artist who gets a review, you've already beaten incredible odds. At that point, for the review to be unfavorable seems almost cruel.

What is CFD?
CFD is the Contract for Difference that is traded, from which, person profits from the changes in prices of shares, indices, commodities, currencies etc. in market.
If person bought CFD on the share, which is $4.00 and price goes up to $4.40, then that person makes the profit. Thus, in case 500 CFDs were bought, then person will make $200.
And profiting from increasing markets CFD trader will as well profit from the falling market that is known as the "Short Selling".
CFD's are also traded on the leverage & are famous for this cause. Leverage CFD generates in stock market is 10:1 that means CFD trader will profit very fast without any need to buy & own shares. It as well means trader will profit from smaller rises or else falls in market because of this leverage.
Even if though you are a normal person you will learn CFD Trading by the different courses, which are accessible and make substantial revenue in case you learn system & become very good at the CFD trading.
Benefits of CFD Trading
Leverage increases profitability of the trader's potential investment by 10:1
Short Selling
Also profiting from rising market, and CFD trading allows trader to gain from falling market
Shorter Trade Times
Leverage of CFD allows CFD trader to make some profits from small movements in a market. It means CFD trading will take place over some days to weeks instead having to own share for years on end in order to make the descent return.
Capability to Set-up Stop Losses
Stop loss is an ability to set predetermined level to minimize CFD traders losses. For example, if CFD was bought at around $42 and trader is worried it may go down, stop loss can be placed at, $41.50 so that in case it trades at that stage trader can automatically sell out the position prior to it goes lower.
Trade in Evenings
Lots of CFD traders have got day jobs, and checking share during day is impossible. The CFD suppliers allow traders to put trades in evening when market is closed. With "if done" stop loss order, CFD trader will not need to look at market during day. This choice is fast as well as makes it simple to profit by using a CFD advantage on every day basis.
With contracts for difference you have a huge range of markets starting with share markets (including American, European and Asian market), commodities, currencies, indices, interest rates and much more. Just one broker gives you access to all those markets. Besides you can also trade futures or spots.
No Stamp Duty
When buying shares in the UK you have to pay 0.5% stamp duty on every transaction (no need to pay stamp duty when you sell shares). With CFD you do not pay stamp duty as contracts for difference are derived product and thus you do not buy actual shares.

Rebecca (1940)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: George Sanders, Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson, Laurence Olivier
Maxim is acquitted of murdering Rebecca when he, Colonel Julyan, Jack Favell and Frank Crawley track down the doctor Rebecca had secretly seen, in London, prior to her death. The doctor told them that Rebecca had terminal cancer that would have killed her in a few months, and she would have been on morphia not long after he'd seen her and given her the bad news. He remembered that when he told her she'd be dead in a few months, she said, "Oh, no, Doctor, not that long," so her death was assumed to be suicide. Mrs. Danvers, in a fit of despair, after Jack phoned her and gave her the bad news, sets fire to Manderlay. Mrs Danvers had said that Rebecca told her everything, but this cancer she kept to herself. Mrs de Winter says to Maxim, as they watch Manderlay fall to the fire, "Mrs Danvers, she's gone mad. She said she'd rather destroy Manderlay than see us happy here."

As councils set their budgets for next year, the attention is on splits at CoSLA, rather than the impact of cuts in council budgets.
As UNISON Scotland has highlighted today, it is local government that is taking the brunt of the cuts. This is illustrated by the fact that local government is the only major Scottish spending portfolio that has taken a cash cut since the crash. In addition job losses have been proportionally higher in councils than elsewhere.
The Scottish Government can fairly point to Westminster austerity cuts as the underlying problem, but they also say they are protecting spending in councils. Self evidently, both cannot be true. At the risk of sounding like Thatcher, every worker facing wage cuts knows that they have to cut the family budget somewhere. The Scottish Government has chosen councils. The cynic might suggest this is because councils are further away from ministers - the 'not me guv' school of government spin.
The problem is exacerbated by the Council Tax freeze. Of course no one like to pay taxes, but as the recent CoSLA survey demonstrated people are not daft. They understand that that you can't maintain services and have a real terms tax cut. If the floods tell us anything, preventative spending is better than crisis management. I highlighted another example earlier this week - councils being forced to spend £1600 a day on pothole compensation because they don't have the cash to repair the roads properly.
The Council Tax freeze is not even the best way to help hard pressed families financially - the social wage, as the Scottish Government likes to call it. As our infographic shows, it is the wealthiest households that gain the most - big time!
So what about CoSLA?
Well UNISON Scotland is a pretty unlikely defender of CoSLA given recent pay disputes. We have also argued that it hasn't always been strong enough in arguing the case for local government.
It is of course perfectly proper for councils to argue their corner on grant allocation. I would also argue that there is a strong case to look again at the formula to ensure that resources are targeted at areas of greatest need. Renfrewshire for example, made a strong case on this recently in evidence to the Scottish Parliament. To limit the inevitable council squabble, I would focus the formula on disadvantaged postcodes or wards, rather than the council as a whole. Even the poorest council areas have affluent areas and vice versa.
I would urge councils, as I did today on the BBC, to use the procedures to resolve their differences without a break up of CoSLA. I understand the concerns over proposed changes in the internal decision making process. CoSLA, like many large membership organisations, is not always light on its feet and shifting decision making to the full Convention is not going to make it any more effective.
However, keep an eye on the big picture. There is a need for a strong collective voice, across the political divide, making the case for local democracy in Scotland. The CoSLA, Strengthening Local Democracy Commission is at least a start. Remember the maxim divide and rule, because that is what will happen if councils don't speak loudly with one voice.

If you think Steve Martin is hilarious, which we unabashedly do, prepare to see a side of him you might not recognize but will be a welcome surprise. Turns out, our favorite "jerk" is also versed in the mysterious and strange ways of the art world. If you haven't heard of it, or seen it on bookshelves everywhere, Martin's An Object of Beauty, is a must read for any art lover, and/or anyone who has spent time in New York City. Chronicling the life and loves of a young woman named Lacey Yeager who is destined for great things, it is a story of the art world in the late 90's and early 2000's. Infused with humor, emotion and an educational aspect, you will not want it to end.
But, when you do finally leave Miss Yeager behind, as we soon will be forced to do, a suggestion: Confessions of an Art Addict by Peggy Guggenheim, with a forward by Gore Vidal. As an art "addict," collector, and very colorful personality, Peggy tells of her life in the center of the bohemian art world in the 20th century. Not to mention she was (briefly) married to the artist Max Ernst, and was the niece of Solomon Guggenheim. We haven't turned a page yet, but Confessions is sure to be another very exciting ride through modern art.

Impacts of Alcoholism on Family Welfare (a Case Study of Reforming Alcoholics in Suneka Division, Kisii South District, Nyanza Province, Kenya)
Alcoholism is a term that has many and sometimes conflicting definitions. In current and historic usage, alcoholism refers to a condition that results from continued consumption of alcohol despite the social and medical impacts that are raised by the vice. Alcoholism also referred to, in the nineteenth century and partly in the twentieth century, as dipsomania, may also refer to pre-occupation with or compulsion towards the consumption of alcohol and/or impaired ability to recognize the negative impacts of excessive alcohol consumption. The Macmillan dictionary (2002) defines the word alcoholism as a medical condition that makes it difficult to control the amount of alcohol you drink.
1.2.0 Alcoholism The dictionary definition of alcoholism is, a disorder characterized by the excessive consumption of and dependence on alcoholic beverages leading to physical and physiological harm and impaired social and vocational functionality. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research defines alcoholism as
a layman's term for alcohol dependence and abuse. The medical encyclopedia defines alcoholism as a popular term for two disorders, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependent. The definition of alcoholism adopted for this study was a disorder that involves long term, repeated, uncontrolled, compulsive and excessive use of alcoholic beverages that impairs the drinker's health and social relations. In this study alcoholism was characterized by frequent drinking, drinking five or more days in a week.
1.2.1 Family Welfare The Macmillan dictionary (2002) defines a family as a group of people who live together and are all related to one another, usually consisting of parents and children. It also defines welfare as the health and happiness of people. The definition of family welfare adopted in this study encompassed physical and psychological health, finances, employment, social life and relationships Velleman, (as cited at www.alcoholandfamilies.org). Family welfare was characterized by economy, health and safety, legal proceedings, marriage stability, responsibilities, and withdrawal.
The Macmillan dictionary (2002) defines economy as the careful use of money, products or time that very little is wasted. Family economy in this study was characterized by the amount of money spent on alcohol, investment ventures and savings in respect to individual's income.
The dictionary definition of health is the condition of your body especially whether or not you are ill. Safety on the other hand refers to the fact that a thing is safe. For purpose of this study health and safety was characterized by instances of alcohol related illness or disorders, domestic violence both on women and children attributable to alcohol, accidents or any other act done which exposed the individual to harm as a result of the influence of alcohol on the person (Alcoholic) or on the family, and psychological state.
Responsibility is defined by the Macmillan dictionary (2002), as a state of being in charge of someone or something and of making sure that they do or what happens to them is right or satisfactory. In the study responsibility was characterized by...

You guys all know this picture by now
That's me!
I recognize me. I look just like that.
I think.
However, it was recently brought to my attention that I don't look like that.
The person who said it has been seeing me on the video show and thinks I don't look like my author pic.
They may be right.
For branding purposes, I decided to pick a picture and stick with it – one that I liked well enough, but that wasn't trying to be sexy or too serious or whatever.
The image I use here on the blog (and my books and everywhere else – because branding) was taken by my friend Katie, who's a terrific photographer. I'm actually holding my 2 1/2 year old daughter (or 3 1/2, I don't remember) in it, but cropped her out for an author pic.
Sneaky, huh?
And while all that was fine and good, it didn't occur to me that I don't look like me in the picture.
I can readily admit my hair looks like crap in that picture. I don't know why; it looked fine all day but looked like crap during that whole photo shoot. I was worried about my kid looking good I guess, so I never glanced in a mirror.
Lesson learned.
Now, let's look at some stills from the video show.
Well, I'm blurry, so maybe that's the difference. Fuzzy image = fewer visible wrinkles. Who knew? Zoom in on that original pic – that's why I left it large. See the wrinkles? I have them. (Doesn't look like it in these video stills, though, does it? Hmm.)
and here I am again… what a difference a decent haircut makes.
Hey, they can't all be winners!
And here's Show 9; it has me as the cover image. Click it and watch me move around a bit. Maybe that's part of all this.
So while this has NOT been a gratuitous post about HEY LOOK AT ME – that was just a happy side benefit – what do you think? Is my current author pic okay or should I go with a new one since I apparently look different?
More like the guy on the right (3 years ago)? Or the one on the left (3 weeks ago)?
I guess I can always call Katie and schedule a new author picture.
Trust me, nothing will change your appearance like seeing yourself on video. Wow, I had no idea I looked that fat or unkempt. No wonder actresses are so skinny in real life. Video will make you put down that second donut and question the first donut!
Okay, so maybe a decent haircut helps, but what do you think? I'm happy to do whatever's needed to sell books, and I think staying with a certain look will work best for that, so I won't be changing the picture every six months. It'll stay whatever we decide for a few years and maybe a lot longer. People change. I get that. But I was never crazy about the first picture anyway. (It's the hair. I look like I'm going bald or something!)
It's probably more important to have an image that matches readers' expectations than one that's pretty – and I'm not even sure either's all that important.
What is important is to pick an image and stick with it so fans immediately know it's you when they see you. Coca-Cola hasn't changed from writing their name in cursive for over 100 years for a reason. If I'm gonna switch, I need to do it and get it over with for as few years.
So, once again it falls to you, my friends, to help me resolved this dilemma.
Give it to me straight. New pic? Or stay with the existing? If we go with new pic, I'll get a session scheduled with Katie and let you guys pick the best head shot from whatever she comes up with, but I'm thinking about staying with the current one unless the voting says otherwise.
Give me your thoughts!

This past weekend I happened to be walking up Boylston Street in Boston at night when I passed the site of the first bombing location from last year's Boston Marathon bombing. The building that was damaged from that explosion was being repaired, and as I looked across the street at the Boston Central Library, I thought of the horrible events from last April 15 and wondered how the victims were doing at this time, almost one year later. It was surreal to touch a green mailbox at that site and see many parts of the metal showing damage and indentations, perhaps from the pressure-cooker bomb that damaged and forever changed so many lives. Fortunately, although many of the injured still struggle with recovery issues, there have been many positive stories of healing and improvement: Washington Post, ABC News, Stride Nation, Esquire, CNN
One of the more inspiring stories is about a female hairdresser from Lowell, Celeste Corcoran, who after losing both her legs in the bombing has now been able to begin running with her prosthetic limbs, as well as rock climb and swim.
The most heartwarming story of all, I feel, is about Erika Brannock, a preschool teacher who was the last bombing victim to leave an acute care hospital, 50 days after the bombing. She is also a below-knee amputee and has undergone 18 surgeries on her right leg. She has been using mirror therapy to help improve her phantom limb pain.
The 2014 Boston Marathon is three weeks away and will likely be one of the most anticipated sporting events in recent memory. Keep the stories of the heroes from 2013's race with you as you watch or participate in the upcoming race and stay strong.

Kuwait to award $2.9bn hospital projects in 2016.
Kuwait's government is set to award KD881 million ($2.9 billion) worth of hospital projects this year as part of its plan to boost the bed capacity per family in hospitals across the country.
The government is working as per a national plan to adopt the World Health Organisation's proposal of allocating at least 22 hospital beds for every 10,000 people by 2030, said a statement from the Ministry of Health.Projects worth more than KD1.5 billion ($5 billion) are under way in Kuwait including the public hospital at Jahra province.
Amid a surge in patient flow, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah, the Amiri Diwan commissioned Pace, a Kuwait-based architecture, engineering, design and planning group, to undertake the design of the New Jahra Hospital.
The project, valued at KD390 million ($1.28 billion), involves expansion of the existing Jahra Hospital into a new 1,171-bed facility with a full range of services. It will also function as a trauma centre for the Jahra district.The government, considered to be the largest provider of healthcare in Kuwait, represents around 90 per cent of the market in number of hospital beds and facilities.
The work on the New Jahra Hospital began in March last year and is due for completion in March 2018.Tarek Shuaib, the managing partner and head architect at Pace, said the architectural design process commenced with a concept based on the introduction of the external element of nature to the internal environment.
"The purpose of this is to create harmony with health care facilities, as a means of contributing to the treatment and healing of the patients," he stated."Green parks and interior spaces play an active part in strengthening this direction of design, so as to create an atmosphere full of life in numerous spaces," he added.

Monaco Residency
The prerequisites, advantages, and how to apply
Become a Monaco Citizen and take advantage of the tax benefits, the local climate, the security and safety, the way of living and the terrific location in the heart of Europe with Nice airport terminal only 30 minutes away having connections to key metropolitan areas around the world.
The prerequisites for Monaco Residency
You will certainly need to rent or purchase a property in Monaco.
If leasing, this should be practiced for a minimum of a year and you have to be able to produce a registered lease for the Monaco property.
If buying, you will certainly need to provide proof of ownership.
WWW Relocation Monaco can assist with finding the rental home or one to buy and will certainly produce a list of homes for you to view which fit the guidelines you will give us. There are lots of property firms in Monaco which offer the exact same homes. This is because the market is very small with a limited availability of Monaco homes for lease or for sale. We deal with a carefully chosen number of firms who we feel offer the level of service we want our clients to enjoy. You will need 2-3 days to check out Monaco to see the homes once you have made your decision as to when you want to go forward with the Monaco residency application.
Due to the lack of Monaco rental properties we recommend that you visit Monaco 1-2 months before you wish to start the procedure, when we will certainly select a short list of rental homes for you to see, which match your criteria, including number of bed rooms, location, budget plan. You will find lots of home agents In Monaco offering mainly the exact same homes so we supply a one stop service, we perform the footwork with chosen agents to produce the short list of Monaco homes for you to view, therefore saving your time and efforts.
Financing a property in Monaco
We can also aid with organizing finance IF you want to purchase a property. Chosen banks will provide approximately 60-70 % of the home value, however they will require a deposit or financial investment portfolio as collateral to protect the loan. We pick the bank/s which offer the most reliable and competitive funding alternatives.
You will need to develop a regional banking partnership with one of Monaco's many banks. You will certainly need to open an account in the name of the person(s) who wish to obtain Monaco Residency and fund the bank account with the minimum initial deposit as required by the bank. This amount varies extensively from bank to bank. Our Monaco network of local banks have initial bank deposit requirements from EUR 200,000- EUR 1million. As a part of the main Monaco residency application, your Monaco bank will need to release a bank "attestation" (letter) to validate that you're an established customer of the bank and have sufficient funds to support yourself whilst resident in Monaco.
If you have a Monaco work agreement from a local company or you have your very own company in Monaco, you will not require this letter. You will be required to keep the required amount in the bank as you are utilizing their bank attestation for your residency, both the initial application and renewal (see below). We can help in bank choice in line with your individual or company profile.
Once you have chosen your leasing or purchase home in Monaco and have either the authorized lease or purchase agreement, the appointment for the official Monaco Residency application meeting may be made. This job interview takes place in the Residents area of the Monaco Police. It will take approximately 45 minutes and you are going to be required to produce these files for each applicant over 16 years of age.
Documents required for the Monaco Residency Application
Valid passport
Marriage certificate/divorce certificate if applicable.
Certification from the Authorities in the country (or countries) where you have lived for the previous five years. In case you have resided in several countries, then you will need to have a certificate from each. These certificates may be obtained in various ways, depending on each country. They must not be made in excess of three months before the residency interview.
The registered rental for the Monaco rented property (minimum of 12 months) or evidence of purchase (legal documents relating to the transaction).
A brand-new electricity contract for the Monaco home in your name.
The Monaco bank attestation/letter.
The completed official Monaco residency application (we help with these).
Monaco residency approval procedure
When the residency interview is complete, the approval procedure is going to take around 2 months for holders of EU passports. For non EU passport holders, you should first get a French Long-term stay visa type D, which provides you the right to apply for Monaco residency in Monaco. This French long term stay visa has to be applied for in the French Embassy/Consul in your country of residence. It is going to take somewhere between 1-4 months to receive, subject to the embassy guidelines in your country of residence. Only when this visa has been authorized and stamped in your passport can the next stage, the Monaco residency interview transpire. As soon as you've got this visa and also have the interview in Monaco, the approval procedure for your Monaco Residency will take around 2-3 weeks.
In both cases, you could remain in Monaco throughout the approval process, and for non EU passport holders, once the French Long Term visa type D has been given. (This is a really specific visa, it is not the Schengen/multiple entry/long term visit visa, it's specifically for making an application for residency).
We keep track of the residency approval procedure and will notify you of as soon as your residency card has been approved and issued for collection.
Tax status for Monaco citizens
Overview of tax status for Monaco Citizens for possessions located in Monaco. (Property outside of Monaco could be subject to taxes in the country where they are located in accordance with each country's tax laws).

FAO people wot have been to Green Man Festival
or even people wot are going there this year.
i am considering whether i should pretend that i can afford this, and so would like to hear about your experiences etc from the festival, especially the econimic side of things obvs – like, apart from the ticket and such, how big a budget do you reckon you need to have in order to have a good time? "good time" = drink a lot. please feel free to share experiences about the camping scheme or other things you'd think it'd be useful to know as well, i'm having a look around the website atm but thought i'd check with you guys as well.
and obviously, who's planning on going?
good time at green man = food playing a large role
i'm not sure about alcohol prices as me and friends just took our own last year, but the food is unbelievably nice there. i reckon i spent prolly about £50 on food. it's fairly expensive but the value for money is unbelievaby good. I LOVE THAT FOOD!
the camping is really cool there. tbh i don't really know what to say apart from that it's an awesome festival (even though i can't be bothered going this year)
you can probably do it on the cheap
Food in the arena is expensive-ish but it's all really nice, you could always just take some stuff with you and eat super noodles all weekend. Same with booze. It's probably about £3ish a pint in the 'arena' but it's always been fairly straightforward to take your own in and the security don't seem to bother checking bags etc untill Sunday for some reason.
I'm undecided on attendance atm, going to wait and see how the line-up fills out.
i don't know too many of the names on the lineup so far but i don't mind
it would be for the experience and to hang out with friends etc
hmm, i wonder if my nus card will still be valid
I went last year
worked as a litter picker so my ticket was free and I got a hot meal each day and ended up camping next to the phantom band. I think i managed to spend less than £40 on everything for the whole weekend, but then again I was picking litter for about 6 hours a day so I didnt have much time to hang loose, so to speak.
It was pretty nice weekend considering it was free, but if you've got the money then definitely buy a ticket? Im sure you planned to anyway.
Tha food there is real 'spensive, yeah. Pretty nice, yeah. Take your own. Also, just keep your eyes peeled for stuff. We found drugs, bit of money, stuff like that.
yeah i'm tempted to just go FUCK IT and buy a ticket but i'll have to fly over from the motherland for it
so there's a bit more time/money involved for me as well
i probably will though tbf
I went last year. Camping was fine but apparently it was the first year ever it didn't rain.
As long as your booze was concealed in a rucksack/bag etc they didn't search you as you entered the arena so you could take in as much as you wanted. It wasn't much of a walk back to the campsite either to collect more booze, cook food etc. Saying that, they've loads of ales and nice food stalls there but you're looking at £6+ a meal and £3 a pint. I'd reckon at least £50 a day if you're not taking booze, more like £75.
The site is a fair size and tents are all good as was the sound. People generally sound but fair few monged-up poshos knocking around, especially towards the front of the main stage. Quite a few kids and pushchairs but not so bad really. In general it's a mix of all ages and mongness.
They have a lot of non-musical activities and things to see/do and are big on the spiritual/hippy/druid thing. Saying that, you can easily ignore it.
I'd be going again this year if I didn't have a wedding in France the same week.
it's the hippy aspect that i'm mostly sceptical about
but as you say i'm sure i could easily ignore it or at least avoid it
i'm not a particularly heavy drinker
but it should be pretty easy to get very drunk on a budget there. i took my own booze into the arena each day - they only seemed to be checking people after about 8/9 in the evening. so: camp out in the sun (hopefully - or in the pissing rain) all day with the alcohol of your choice.
not going this year but might return when the little'un's old enough to come with me and i have other friends with children who want to share babysitting duties!
i didn't think the food was that much more expensive than buying greasy burger and chips from some skanky Carling Weekender van. Pie Minister pies w/ mash, mushy peas and gravy ftw.
i hadn't even thought about the BYOB possibilities
i'm a complete amateur when it comes to festival stuff
I think their policy is
as long as its in plastic, their fine with it. Best thing to do is buy a box of wine and get rid of the box. Sack o' wine.
yeah all it says on the website is NO GLASS BOTTLES PLZ
it does also say you're not allowed to bring any alcohol into the "entertainment area" but i trust you guys on this one
are there places kind of nearby where you can stock up a bit?
nearest town is a drive away if I remember correctly.
Didn't use public transport so it was easy for us. Again if I remember correctly they only had proper security guards on the gates leading into the 'entertainment area' around the main stage. The other people on the gates were all kids like me trying to work for their ticket and who likely wont give a shit.
Weston's Organic Cider is available in boxes too, and it's STRONG.
i managed to do it with £40 or so spending money the year before last
with the aid of my hipflask
took a lot of food but then bought like a main meal in the arena. easy
I managed to go and spend about £30 for the whole weekend (not including transport and tickets, obvs).
Bought a disposable barbecue and a bag of charcoal (much cheaper than a gas stove), bunch of Tesco Basics stuff that we could cook on a fire, and brought our own booze. If I had had the money then I would have definitely bought some of the food in the arena, though. It looked amazing, though that might have just been the effect of three days of living on a diet of baked beans on toast washed down with gin...
wow you're the king of doing festivals on the cheap
by your workings out i must have spent more than that. i probably did i'm fiscally irresponsible.
I wouldn't recommend the barbecue thing.
It worked for the first day, but those things are made out of very thin metal. By Sunday morning we were pretty much cooking on an open fire on the ground with little bits of metal all mixed in with the porridge. Lovely, it were. Puts hairs on the chest*.
*Respiratory problems in the lungs.
My favourite festival.
As others have said you can walk alcohol in really easily. We got lucky with the weather last year, which is usually abysmal, but even if it does piss down i've still always had a blast.
Can't say i've ever seen too many hippies. Just lots of really friendly people and young Guardian reading families.
I honestly can't imagine how the hell you could not have a great time. See you there!
I'm going for a third year running
The first year was very wet, but I still had a wonderful time. There is a large covered stage in a BigTop. Do take wellington boots, and an umbrella!
As always at festivals I took breakfast cereal, milk, and a couple of meals with me. My favourite food stall at Greenman is the one just outside the 'entertainments area' run by the local school. I also took some alcohol with me, a wine box I think.
They have this fantastic campfire with logs all round it. My friends had hip-flasks with them, but I was not so well prepared.
what everyone else said for the most part,
also, the boozer in the local town Crickhowell do deliveries to the site as well, lost the number but it was really useful.

Nothing beats live music!!! Monte Carlo and EBE were very easy to work with. They were able to accommodate every request we had for the wedding reception. All of the guests from ages 4 to 90 were dancing all night long. The party only stopped because the lights came on.
WOW is all we can say about our experience with EBE and Monte Carlo! We wanted a wedding where our guests would be on the dance floor the entire time and Monte Carlo delivered beyond our wildest expectations. Brian and the band were amazing! The dance floor was never empty with music from across the years and genres. Our guests have not stopped raving about Monte Carlo!

Know-how on marble floor maintenance
Filed Under Flooring | Leave a Comment
Marble floor adds on the much needed elegance and glamour in your home. The very stone looks really classy and is a perfect fit for any kind of décor-be it contemporary or vintage. Besides, marble is available in different colors and patterns which make it easier for you to choose the right color of marble complementing with your existing décor. Moreover, marble flooring is extremely durable which is another factor behind its high-end popularity is since the by-gone era. However you must know that marble flooring demands proper maintenance to ensure its luster and longevity. The post below is a short discussion on marble floor maintenance.
First of all, you should know that marble is vulnerable to scratches common from regular dirt & dust deposition. Thus, you have to follow a cleaning regime daily to confirm the floor is free from dirt and dust. Use a fine bristled brush to assure a gentle sweep that should be followed by a thorough mop. You have to be very careful with marble cleaners and have to focus on marble exclusive cleaners only. The cleaner you choose should be acid free ad contain neutral pH. Regular floor cleaners for ceramic tiles are a strict no here as these can damage the marble.
Then, it's advised that you lift up the furnishing while moving them across the floor. Dragging heavy tables and chairs would leave on scratches on the beautiful marble surface. Never walk on marble floor with shoes on, especially high heels. Place a shoe rack at the door side where your guests can keep their shoes before stepping into your room. Also, place a door mat so that the guests can rub their feet there while stepping on the floor. Then, remember that an unsealed marble floor is more susceptible to scratches. Hence it's required to get your marble flooring professionally sealed.
Hardwood flooring alternatives
Filed Under Flooring | Leave a Comment
There are a lot of options when it comes to hardwood flooring. However, there are some good alternatives to hardwood flooring as well. One of them is engineered wood flooring and the other one laminate flooring. There are many advantages of laminate flooring. They are very easy when it comes to installation. They are also very easily maintained. Laminate flooring has seen a number of improvements in the past few years. They are quite appealing visually.
The popularity of the engineered flooring is also on the rise. This kind of flooring offers a lot of stability which is more durable than the regular hardwood flooring. The only problem with them is that due to the thickness, they cannot be refinished after a certain point of time. Hardwood flooring is good but they can be expensive and there may be a lot of maintenance required for it. The alternatives that have been mentioned are more versatile.
Remodeling your home flooring
Filed Under Flooring | Leave a Comment
Floors are the true face of your home – more than the walls I suppose. Many people spend millions on their flooring. We however, will be concentrating on remodeling the floor in a much more economic fashion.
Choose flooring which will best suit your need, your budget, the climate & other aspects. Wooden flooring, though appealing, is a strict no-no for crowded areas. Better yet, go in for a vitrified or marble flooring, which will cost you somewhere near $20 per square feet.
If you are not hiring a professional, take utmost care while removing the old flooring. Breakage of your old tiles is obvious & do not assume any monetary returns from them. Clear up the area with a broom & then apply a caulking or similar filling. Allow it some time to set up.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions while installing your new flooring. Professional help can be taken as required.

The rooms are awesome here! It definitely reflects the price and how great the hotel looks. I enjoyed our stay here. It was a great memory with a girl that was a little crazy but fun for the most part. The European pool was also fun too.
