That's o.k. Tom! Thanks for letting me know, because I couldn't even remember if I had tried to post it or not!
Ahhhhh, kitty cats! They work on my mind as incense or as a mental massage. Sumo, if you like kitties, there are many more pictures to be seen on Mac's weblog, "Baby Mackie and Friends" (see my links). In fact, there are a couple of rather embarassing ones of him bathing (with help from me!)

Being reaccredited
Both Silver and Gold Awards are granted for a period of three years.
This makes sure that an awarded school continues to be rights respecting, and the values and ethos remain have to remain in place within the school. After three years have passed, all schools are reaccredited.
What is reaccreditation?
Nearly all schools that have achieved Silver will be well on the way to achieving Gold within three years and are not normally reaccredited at Silver. Occasionally, if there have been a lot of changes within a school, the leadership team might request a reaccreditation at Silver.
All schools that have achieved Gold are reaccredited at Gold. The process for reaccreditation is identical to the Gold assessment. Very occasionally, if there have been a lot of changes within a school, the leadership team might request a reaccreditation at Silver.
Is there an assessment visit for reaccreditation? What's the cost of this?
Yes, a Unicef representative will visit your school to assess whether you still meet all the requirements for Gold. The cost for the assessment visit is dependent on your school size.
Find out more about our costs.
What happens when I think my school is ready for reaccreditation?
You need to complete the Gold Progress and Evaluation form to check that you are ready and then contact your Professional Advisor to book a date.
What do I do to ensure staff knowledge about RRSA remains current?
Early reaccreditation under exceptional circumstances
In the extremely unlikely instance of a Rights Respecting school experiencing an event or circumstances that put it at odds with its Rights Respecting status (at either Silver or Golds) the Programme Director may ask that the school be reaccredited sooner than the three-year life of the award. This would be done to support the school at a difficult time and, out of respect to all our other schools, to maintain the consistency and status of the RRSA.
Remember that many schools have embraced the rights respecting journey precisely to respond to challenge and to help them facilitate effective and sustainable school improvement.
This approach has been approved by our Schools Accreditation and Standards Committee and this is made clear to schools at the time they are awarded Silver or Gold.
There will be no charge for a reaccreditation assessment carried out at our request due to exceptional circumstances.

|Spawn Chance
|Very nearly 0% in all layers except Amethyst, where it is insanely common in comparison to the other layers.
|Best Way to Obtain
|I guarantee you will get this by mining in the Amethyst layer. Instamine helps.
Unobtainium is a legendary ore that is the rarest out of all the ores, being worth $661,337. It is more expensive than FC, since it sells for $661,337 while FC only sells for $171,072. Less than 1,500 players have ever obtained this ore. Most of these players have found it at Bedrock (-1189). (This was before the update that added ore layers.)
It is a blue color, with blue sparkles and flames in game. It glows blue.
In-game description is: It came from pandora!!
- Hence its name, Unobtainium, the chance of you getting it is very minimal.
- Only 2100 people have ever gotten Unobtainium.
- If you go to the Amethyst layer, either with presumably 500k mined or by bypassing the limit, Unobtainium is actually relatively common.

Intelligence and communication
Midwit: 1,500-word monologue reiterating the Mary Sue article that said the comic book was better.
High: 3,000-word dissertation on the technical details.
VHIQ: Eh, it was fine.
UHIQ: What movie?
I can explain the latter process:
- The movie ends.
- Think about X scene or character.
- Think about how something like that might be useful in the book I am currently writing, or less frequently, thinking about the possibility of writing someday.
- Start mentally writing the dialogue or playing through the action sequence.
- Upon completion, think about what implications that little vignette will have for previous or subsequent scenes. Mentally note the more significant ones.
- Lights go on.
- Debate whether it would make sense to write the scene down upon returning home, or simply file it away mentally for later in the hopes that I actually recall it at some point. Regardless of what is decided, it is always mentally filed away for later. There is perhaps a 5 percent chance it will ever cross my mind again.
- Suddenly recall a previous idea that had been filed away for later, but never recollected. Consider whether it would have utility in the current book or not, then remember that the book for which the idea is applicable was published five years ago. Mentally shrug.
- Everyone stands up. Spacebunny says, "did you like the movie?"
- "What movie?" "The. One. We. Just. Saw." The latter statement is usually accompanied by an eyeroll and eyelid flutter that is less a gesture of contempt and more one indicative of seriously questioning her life choices.

Local artist and teacher Greg Telthorster was inspired by the Tuscan landscape, but his journey with a serious disease has inspired those who know him. His works are currently featured in the ArtWalk at Doylestown Hospital.
Greg Telthorster was born to be an artist and teacher. "Mr. T" taught in the Hatboro-Horsham School District for some 30 years at just about every grade level, but mostly at the middle school. While he was teaching his pupils about art, Greg created art, too. He brought beauty to life through oil paints, selecting rich colors and real-life subjects.
Several years ago, Greg and his wife, Marcia, traveled to Italy to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. It was the start of a "painting spree," as Marcia calls it. For the next five years, Greg would create dozens of paintings of the Tuscan landscape, iconic stone doorways and colorful meadows.
His work would stop only after a devastating diagnosis in 2005. Greg started to experience weakness in his right hand and was later diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS is a rapidly progressive, neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.
According to the ALS Association, as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease, and about 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. ALS commonly strikes people between 40 and 60 years of age, but younger and older people can also develop the disease. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
Following the diagnosis, Greg continued to paint, but his right arm was failing. Mixing oil paints was a struggle. That's when three friends – who hadn't painted before – stepped in to help. They would become known as the "Painting Angels." At first Greg could apply the paint; later the "angels" would follow his directions and execute the brush strokes for him.
No longer able to create original works, Greg worked with a printer to make high-quality canvas reproductions called giclée prints of his oil paintings; available for sale on Greg's website.
Despite using a wheelchair for the last seven years, Greg has continued his artistic pursuits, which include showing his work. He has participated in Doylestown's Arts Festival in the fall, and over this past winter he had a show at Kathy Davis Studios in Horsham.
"Greg was so happy he got to show his art in the community where he taught the kids," says Marcia.
Since shortly after Greg's diagnosis, both he and Marcia have been very active in promoting awareness of ALS and raising funds for research. They've helped with the ALS bike ride in June and been enthusiast participants for several years in the Walk to Defeat ALS in Philadelphia and Bucks County. Last November, Greg wasn't going to go to the walk, so his friend Patti Stover decided to bring the walk to him.
"There were 200 people on the street in our neighborhood doing the walk and there was a band in our family room," remembers Marcia. "It was a remarkable day."
Patti is the Senior Executive Director of Nursing Services at Doylestown Hospital. She and Marcia became friends during Marcia's nearly 20-year career at Doylestown during which she served as Director of Volunteer Services and Director of Human Resources.
The team "Legs for Greg" composed of family and friends has helped to raise more than $200,000 for ALS research over the years. "We are always so touched by the support we receive," Marcia says.
Technology has allowed Greg to continue pursuing his artistic interests. He uses a Jouse, or jaw mouse, to navigate a computer screen. Since his voice is failing, he uses a system called the Eyegaze to move his eyes over a computer screen to 'talk.' Greg is currently working on a sort of virtual museum that can be used as an educational tool.
Marcia describes her husband as the "most amazing man ever."
"Greg never complains. He decided early on how he was going to handle this, that he would take the high road. He is a really wonderful person to be around. Greg is very inspiring to the rest of us. He handles everything with grace. And he does have a great sense of humor."
Greg's work can be seen in the Doylestown Hospital ArtWalk through the end of August.
"We are so touched that more people get to see the work Greg did," says Marcia. "The opportunity to display at Doylestown Hospital is very special."
Doylestown Health is a comprehensive healthcare system of inpatient, outpatient and wellness education services connected to meet the health needs of all members of the local and regional community. Doylestown Hospital, the flagship to Doylestown Health has 232 beds and a Medical Staff of more than 435 physicians in over 50 specialties.

Last weekend while I was preparing for my debut at the Case Race my phone rings – Caller ID notes it was my old Landlord.
Now, I'm hopped up on two 5 hour energy shots and I've got a purse full of beer, so I'm clearly in a great mood.
"yes, Old Broad, what can I do for you?'
I'm pretty sure she dropped the phone out of shock, ya'll know she didn't think I would answer.
Getting into it, apparently the old, pig-faced bastard that lived next door to me is sending her official court documents and blah blah blah blah friggin blah.
"haha oookay Old Broad, you just let me know how it turns out". I asked two people what they thought that meant and the consensus was she's bored and looking to break my balls. The other piece of advice was "if someone looks like they're going to serve you with papers, avoid them". How do you know you're getting served, you may ask? Well, someone dunks a ball in your face.
No, not that kind of serving. Alls I know if anyone asks me what my name is, I'm responding with "parles-tu francais? Oui?"
I knew 8 years of French would come in handy one day.

Anna and the Apocalypse has now had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin and the response is, well…. wonderful. Yeah, I know, "fantastic" was right there. I just can't do it.
And another from Dread Central!
And another from Birth Movies Death!
Aaaaand another from Comingsoon.net!
We're so pleased with this. The movie was 7 years in the making, during which time we lost my friend, co-writer and Anna creator, Ryan McHenry. To have reached this point is incredible and for it to be received with so much love is just overwhelming. Can't wait for more people to join in the chorus.

Spanish is the official language of Chile with over 85% of the population speaking Spanish as their first language.

The official religion of Chile is Roman Catholicism, and the majority of Chileans are Catholic, with an estimated 55-60% of Chileans belonging to the Catholic Church. There are also Protestants in Chile, and some Mapuche Indians who still practice their traditional religion.
The level of fitness needed will depend on the Chile tour that you choose to take in terms of places to be visited and the types of activities to be included on your itinerary. Chile offers great opportunities for outdoor activities set against spectacular backdrops. They range from hiking ad trekking to climbing, skiing, white-water rafting, kayaking and fishing. Many of the best treks are to be found in the Lake District and National Parks such as the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park where the trails range from easy to difficult, with treks ranging from a few hours to many days.
You could spend anything from a few days to a few weeks on your Chile travels, depending on whether you plan to explore the entire country or just focus on one experience such as Torres del Paine National Park, the Lake District or a wine tour. Chimu Adventures offers itineraries to suit every time frame.
Our Chile tours include breakfast daily and many other meals may also be included in your itinerary. As a rough guide for additional spending money based on having moderately-priced lunches and dinners and buying a few souvenirs at local markets, we suggest a budget of 30-40 USD per day per person.

Hi Shelley, I was taking the exam for final and saw the stack of books (it was open book) on the desk of the student next to me - they were the non-movie-tie-in covers, and they were simplistic and charming to look at. But I couldn't stare, lest I be accused of cheating! :PDelete
That certainly sounds like an interesting course you have coming your way.

Hello Jade, indeed it does - I look forward to the vampiness of spring quarter. Jesse is wonderful - Gary Soto knows how to characterize and paint a picture of their lives without overloading you with pages of details. Thanks, have a wonderful week!Delete
I was sad when everyone split up in Return of the King too! :(
That class sounds really fun! I want to take it too now! Lol.
Heya Quixotic Magpie, hahaha! Maybe there's one in a community college nearby. Or you can download some professor's podcasts somewhere, that'd be cool too.Delete
The Lord of the Rings- that almost makes me want to reread the series again. I wish I would have had a Tolkien class- sounds like fun!
Have a great week.
Hey Greg, that's cool that you're familiar with the series too. :) The Tolkien class was fun and also demanding, since we had to read so much of Tolkien's works within 10 weeks. Crazy - but it was worth it!Delete
I am a big LOTR fan and I have found The Two Towers to be the easiest of all of them to read... at least the fastest. I'm not sure if I have a favorite amongst them or not. :)ReplyDelete
Hello Lois, great to meet a big LOTR fan! I think each of the three contributes something different. I do like the second one because it reads well. <3Delete

I've done my fair share of moving over the years, as well as helped countless friends and even my own parents move from house to apartment. So what's the biggest thing I've learned?
There's no way around it. You can't hide from it. You can't ignore it. The stuff will just wait for you…and wait…and wait. That is until you're neck deep in bubble wrap, clutching grandmother's china and freaking out because now you have to try to fit round objects into boxes and the moving truck comes tomorrow.
Give Your Relationship a Daily Dose of Spiritual Strength
Center your love and money with the 7-Day Devotional email series
My suggestion? Start early. Do a little at a time. Label the boxes—on more than one side. Yes, really.
And—check out these packing hacks that will save you time, money and maybe even a little bit of your sanity.
1. Wrap dishes in clothing
Saves money on bubble wrap AND packs your t-shirts in one swoop.
2. Cover liquids in plastic wrap BEFORE putting the lid on
No spills or goopy messes = genius.
3. Put styrofoam plates in between breakable plates
Cheap and quick!
4. Put screws and small furniture accessories in a plastic bag, taped to that piece of furniture
You'll be able to put the crib back up, right away.
5. Thread your necklaces through straws
Tangle free and brilliant.
6. Use Press'n Seal to "freeze" dresser drawers
They become their very-own moving boxes.
7. Pack books inside suitcases
Those things get heavy – throw them in a suitcase to make them easier to transport
8. Put pillows and blankets in garbage bags
1) Keeps them relatively clean 2) You can use them as padding between furniture in the moving truck.
9. Pack essentials last
Things like your tool belt, an overnight bag and any toiletries/needs for baby should go into your car last.
10. Label your cords!
A simple piece of duct tape with the name of the corresponding appliance will do, and will save you the headache of trying to match things back up.

Eid Al-Adha Opportunity for Muslims to Unite in Face of Divisive Plots: Zarif
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a time that enemies are seeking to divide Muslims, Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice) is a great opportunity for Muslims around the world to unite and "come together".

"In trying times—and as some may try to divide us—the Muslim world comes together to celebrate Eid-al-Adha. Wishing fellow Muslims everywhere a very Happy Eid," Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter account late on Monday.
Eid al-Adha is an important festival on the Islamic calendar which marks the climax of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
During the festivities, Muslims pay tribute to Prophet Abraham's submission to the divine order of sacrificing his son.

Get started on your free spins journey now on online casinos
Do you love everything you can buy for free? Then you should definitely read more about this bonus. We call this bonus for free spins, because it will give you a lot of free turns on online casino games such as slot machines. If you want to get a free spins bonus, then you should go look for one right this second. A lot of online casinos offer these free spins for you, so it will not be that hard to find. If you love anything that is for free, you will definitely go crazy for a free spins bonus.
Where can you get a free spins bonus?
You can find free spins all over the Internet. As you can tell, it is really not that difficult to find some free spins online today. Whether you want free spins from one casino or another casino, you can be guaranteed that you can at least find it of one of your all-time favourite online casinos. Free spins are a god's gift to all online casino players, and we definitely encourage you to find them online. It cannot be said enough: Really go and find some free spins for your games right this second! It is extremely important for your games and it can also save you a lot of money. And who does not want to save money? We do not know anyone that is not interested in saving money. With free spins that wish can definitely come true. Therefore, a free spins bonus can always be found on different online casinos. You just have to look for them on their web page or look in their promotion or campaign section. It will definitely be told you loud and clearly on the sites, so you do not have to search for it like crazy. Online casinos love to tell all their members and might-be members that they offer something good for you all. Therefore, you will definitely have no trouble finding some free spins you can use next time you log into your account on an online casino.
How do I get a free spins bonus?
If you want a free spins bonus, you just have to find it – and that is as we have said not that difficult. Most online casinos offer free spins in one way or another. If you want free spins, you can find them right here and right now. You can either get them in a campaign for already members on an online casino. But most often, you can get free spins as a welcome bonus from the online casinos. All you have to do then is make an account on that specific online casino and play with your free spins. Often you can also get free spins just by playing on certain slot machines. They offer you free spins and re-spins if you get to a certain bonus round or something. As you can see, you can get a free spins bonus in all kinds of way. It depends if you are a member or not, and what kind of slot machine that you play. You just have to try and read through different things on the online casino to figure out if you can get some free spins or not.
What should I be aware of with a free spins bonus?
There is nothing dangerous about a free spins bonus of course. But there are still a few things that you need to be aware of. For an example, you have to be aware of the bonus conditions for the free spins. These bonus conditions can either be good or bad, and it is your job to figure that out as no one will figure that out for you. It is in your own interest to do so, as you can get cheated a lot, if you do not read them. Of course, most online casinos are real and honest, but sometimes there is an online casino that want to trick their members or potential members. If you want to avoid that, then always read the bonus conditions first – at least before you start using the free spins bonus, that you have received from the online casino.
What kind of slot machines can I use the free spins bonus on?
You can use the free spins on almost every single slot machine that you can find on an online casino. But here is the trick and another reason why you should always read the bonus conditions first! Sometimes an online casino decides whether or not you can choose what slot machine to use your free spins bonus on. Sometimes they let you decide all for yourself, but sometimes – most of the times – they decide for you. They can, for an example, say that you get 50 free spins from them, but they also demand that you use these 50 free spins on their slot machine Starburst. If you play on another slot machine, you will not be able to use the free spins bonus on that. Therefore, we cannot really answer that, as it depends on the specific online casino. We hope you have a great time with your free spins!

Maulana Muhammad Ibrahim Mirpuri
After completing studies in Pakistan under many teachers including Shaykh Ahmed Ullah (the direct student of the Imam Nadheer Hussain Dehlawi), Maulana Ibrahim became a khateeb in Mirpur and began running the Ahlul Hadeeth dawah centres there.
After this he travelled to study in Madina in the 1970s, where he benefitted from the daroos of Shaykh Al-Albaani, Shaykh Abdul Ghaffar Hasan, Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Abaad and Shaykh Rabee bin Hadee al-Madhkhali. Unfortunately his mother became ill and he had to return to Pakistan to attend to her, cutting his studies short.
He took the advice of Allama Ehsan Elahi Zaheer, who was sat in Masjid Nabawi with Maulana Ibrahim's teachers Shaykh Rabee bin Hadee al-Madhkhali and Shaykh Muhammad Aman Al-Jaami. Allama Ehsan advised him to return to Pakistan to look after his mother. Shaykh Rabee and Shaykh Muhammad Aman Al-Jaami agreed with Allama Ehsan, especially considering he had already studied and become an Imam and khateeb.
Maulana Ibrahim studied under Shaykh Abdullah Ropuri. He spent many years as a companion of Maulana Muhammad Hussain Sheikhupuri (the student of the Imam SanaUllah Amritsari) where they travelled and gave dawah together.
His vigour in the field of dawah lead him to Dubai, where he was a khateeb in Masjid Imam Malik (UAE) from 1985-1998. In 1994 during a brief visit to the UK, the Ameer of Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith UK insisted that Maulana Ibrahim move the UK.
After much deliberation, Maulana Ibrahim moved to the UK where he became the Imam and leading figure in the community for many years. Upon inception of Islamic Welfare Trust, he was honoured with its Chairmanship. He lives in Birmingham and is a Khateeb and Imam of Muhammadi Masjid, Alum Rock.

Trade shows, conferences, webinars – tech companies invest in all of these events to grow relationships and acquire new ones. Since sales processes are often six months or longer, strategies that can accelerate them are quite valuable – and the conventional wisdom is that events play a key role in speeding up sales cycles. Given this, events are a core component of many companies' go-to-market strategies, and organizations worldwide spend hundreds of billions of dollars in this area alone. Further, hosting, attending, and exhibiting at events can comprise up to 21 percent of corporate marketing budgets.
However, it is extremely difficult to understand an event's true ROI. Tech companies face a major challenge in determining not just which events are worth big investments, but how much marketing budget to allocate to each event. Complex sales processes with many sales and marketing touchpoints pose an obstacle to isolating the direct impact of any individual action, such as inviting a prospect to an event.

I'm going to keep this simple and say I don't normally post pictures of cars or motorcycles with half dressed women draped over them. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the female form and think there's nothing better than beautiful women in cars, it's just not what this site is about. It's all about the beauty of automotion whether it be cars, custom motorcycles or stunning photography featuring them.
The reason I have featured these images in the Car Photography section should be obvious, one of the most beautiful cars in the world with one of the most enchanting women on the planet together in Cape Town, South Africa. The photographs have been taken by Milan Josipovic based in Belgrade, Serbia and is a professional Photographer who works all over the world. The car is a fine example of the 1952 Porsche 356 which I believe was the concept for future Porsches. I'm not sure who the women is but what a perfect match and coupled with the stunning views captured in South Africa the set of images really comes to life and captures a by gone age of classic simplicity and beauty.

SEI Insights
Posted on by Secure Codingin
Hi, it's Will. Recently, a blog author reported that the CERT® Secure Coding Standards website, which runs on Atlassian Confluence, contained a SQL injection vulnerability. After analyzing the report and discussing it with the Confluence vendor, we have concluded that the behavior described is not a vulnerability.
On October 24, 2008, rvdh posted an entry on the 0x000000 blog that implied that the CERT Secure Coding website contained a SQL injection vulnerability. This website runs Atlassian Confluence, which is used by multiple organizations. If there were a publicly known SQL injection vulnerability in the Confluence software, it would have a pretty widespread effect on these organizations, CERT included. This prompted us to investigate the issue.
When performing a specific query to the Confluence software, an error and detailed stack trace is displayed to the user. From this error, rvdh draws the following conclusion: "^ Oops, besides this hideous blob of intelligence it also let us modify the SQL query. Finally something really interesing to discuss at those cocktail parties or is it?"
It is true that the stack trace is ugly, but that's about as far as the flaw goes. The malformed query does not make it to the SQL part of the Confluence code. If you look at the stack trace, you will notice that the error is generated by the QueryParser component of Apache Lucene. It's not clear where rvdh draws the conclusion that you can modify the SQL query. Sure, you have control over what values might be used to perform the search, but that is expected.
Here is the response from Atlassian, which is the vendor that produces Confluence:
The proposed "attack" supplies the server with an invalid search query that causes Confluence to display an error message. This is a bug only insofar as we don't present a better error message.
For more information about Confluence security practices, and a list of all recorded Confluence security advisories, please see this page:

Aspiring Nsukka Entrepreneurs Laud CBN/Sterling YIEDP Scheme
Aspiring entrepreneurs from Nsukka and its environment that benefited from the capacity building programme of the South East Entrepreneurship Development Centre (SEEDC) have extolled the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Sterling Bank Plc for putting in place the Youth Innovative Entrepreneurship Development Programme (YIEDP).
YIEDP was initiated to harness the latent entrepreneurial spirit of Nigeria's teeming youth by providing timely and affordable loans to implement their business ideas. It is open to youths aged 18 to 35 who are serving youth corps members. Graduates with more than five years post NYSC experience are not eligible to participate.
About 162 graduates from the Nsukka axis completed training at the SEEDC with 90 qualifying to access loans in sectors that include agriculture, food processing and preservation, arts and craft, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), energy, education and photography. The 162 graduates were trained at the South East Entrepreneurship Development Centre courtesy of Chuka Utazi, the Senator representing Enugu North Senatorial Zone.
Lauding the Central Bank for setting aside funds for the programme, Ikechukwu Isaac Ifeanyi, a SEEDC trained entrepreneur and agripreneur, who spoke on behalf of beneficiaries, disclosed that it was a life changing opportunity for all participants as it will help unleash their true business potential.
According to Ifeanyi, the journey started with Senator Chuka Utazi's intermediation and effort which saw a lot of graduates enrolled at the South East Entrepreneurship Development Centre.
"Without the training at SEEDC, getting a loan and going into business would have been disastrous for many of the participants. We had great facilitators that equipped us with the skills required to run a better business. There are so many things we do not know about customer care, corporate governance, and financial management before the capacity building programme. I have a solid grasp of the basics of running a proper business which will guide my agriculture venture. I have applied online and sent in my business plan as part of consideration for the loan to be disbursed by the Central Bank through Sterling Bank".

|Bodicea Queen Of The Iceni
|Determine relationship to...
|Mandubratius of Britain Mother:
|Victoria ferch Prasutagus of Iceni
|a.d. 62
Tacitus and Dio agree that Boudica was of royal descent. Dio says that she was "possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women", that she was tall, had long red hair down to her hips, a harsh voice and a piercing glare, and habitually wore a large golden necklace (perhaps a torc), a many-coloured tunic and a thick cloak fastened by a brooch.
Location of modern Norfolk, once inhabited by the Iceni.Her husband, Prasutagus, was the king of Iceni, who inhabited roughly what is now Norfolk. They were initially not part of the territory under direct Roman control, having voluntarily allied themselves to Rome following Claudius's conquest of 43. They were protective of their independence and had revolted in 47 when the then-governor, Publius Ostorius Scapula, threatened to disarm them.[5] Prasutagus lived a long life of conspicuous wealth, and, hoping to preserve his line, made the Roman emperor co-heir to his kingdom along with his two daughters.
It was normal Roman practice to allow allied kingdoms their independence only for the lifetime of their client king, who would agree to leave his kingdom to Rome in his will: the provinces of Bithynia[6] and Galatia[7], for example, were incorporated into the Empire in just this way. Roman law also allowed inheritance only through the male line. So when Prasutagus died his attempts to preserve his line were ignored and his kingdom was annexed as if it had been conquered. Lands and property were confiscated and nobles treated like slaves. According to Tacitus, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped. Dio Cassius says that Roman financiers, including Seneca the Younger, chose this point to call in their loans. Tacitus does not mention this, but does single out the procurator, Catus Decianus, for criticism for his "avarice". Prasutagus, it seems, had lived well on borrowed Roman money, and on his death his subjects had become liable for the debt.
Boudica's uprising
In 60 or 61, while the current governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was leading a campaign against the island of Mona (modern Anglesey) in north Wales, which was a refuge for British rebels and a stronghold of the druids, the Iceni conspired with their neighbours the Trinovantes, amongst others, to revolt. Boudica was chosen as their leader. They drew inspiration from the example of Arminius, the prince of the Cherusci who had driven the Romans out of Germany in AD 9, and their own ancestors who had driven Julius Caesar from Britain.[8] Dio says that at the outset Boudica employed a form of divination, releasing a hare from the folds of her dress and interpreting the direction it ran, and invoked Andraste, a British goddess of victory. It is perhaps significant that Boudica's own name means "victory" (see above).
The rebels' first target was Camulodunum (Colchester), the former Trinovantian capital and now a Roman colonia. The Roman veterans who had been settled there mistreated the locals, and a temple to the former emperor Claudius had been erected there at local expense, making the city a focus for resentment. Its inhabitants sought reinforcements from the procurator, Catus Decianus, but he sent only two hundred auxiliary troops. Boudica's army fell on the poorly defended city and destroyed it, besieging the last defenders in the temple for two days before it fell. The future governor Quintus Petillius Cerialis, then commanding the Legio IX Hispana, attempted to relieve the city, but his forces were routed. His infantry was wiped out: only the commander and some of his cavalry escaped. Catus Decianus fled to Gaul.
When news of the rebellion reached him, Suetonius hurried along Watling Street through hostile territory to Londinium (London). Londinium was a relatively new town, founded after the conquest of 43, but had grown to be a thriving commercial centre with a population of travellers, traders, and probably Roman officials. Suetonius considered giving battle there, but considering his lack of numbers and chastened by Petillius's defeat, decided to sacrifice the city to save the province. Londinium was abandoned to the rebels, who burnt it down, slaughtering anyone who had not evacuated with Suetonius. Archaeology shows a thick red layer of burnt debris covering coins and pottery dating before 60 within the bounds of the Roman city.[9] Verulamium (St Albans) was next to be destroyed.
In the three cities destroyed, between seventy and eighty thousand people are said to have been killed. Tacitus says the Britons had no interest in taking or selling prisoners, only in slaughter by gibbet, fire or cross. Dio's account gives more prurient detail: that the noblest women were impaled on spikes and had their breasts cut off and sewn to their mouths, "to the accompaniment of sacrifices, banquets, and wanton behaviour" in sacred places, particularly the groves of Andraste.

Suetonius regrouped with the XIV Gemina, some vexillationes (detachments) of the XX Valeria Victrix, and any available auxiliaries. The prefect of Legio II Augusta, Poenius Postumus, ignored the call, but nonetheless the governor was able to call on almost ten thousand men. He took a stand at an unidentified location, probably in the West Midlands somewhere along Watling Street, in a defile with a wood behind him. But his men were heavily outnumbered. Dio says that, even if they were lined up one deep, they would not have extended the length of Boudica's line: by now the rebel forces numbered 230,000.
Boudica exhorted her troops from her chariot, her daughters beside her. The historian Tacitus gives her a short speech in which she presents herself not as an aristocrat avenging her lost wealth, but as an ordinary person, avenging her lost freedom, her battered body and the abused chastity of her daughters. Their cause was just, and the gods were on their side; the one legion that had dared to face them had been destroyed. She, a woman, was resolved to win or die; if the men wanted to live in slavery, that was their choice.
However, the unmaneuverability of the British forces, combined with lack of open-field tactics to command these numbers, put them at a disadvantage to the Romans, who were skilled at open combat due to their superior equipment and discipline, and the narrowness of the field meant that Boudica could only put forth as many troops as the Romans could at a given time. First, the Romans stood their ground and used waves of javelins to kill thousands of Britons who were rushing toward the Roman lines. The Roman soldiers, who had now used up their javelins, were then able to engage Boudica's second wave in the open, which made the Roman phalanx potent and difficult to break. As the phalanx advanced in a wedge formation, the Britons attempted to flee, but were impeded by the presence of their own families, whom they had stationed in a ring of wagons at the edge of the battlefield, and were slaughtered.[10] Tacitus reports that "according to one report almost eighty thousand Britons fell" compared with only four hundred Romans. According to Tacitus, Boudica poisoned herself; Dio says she fell sick and died, and was given a lavish burial.
Postumus, on hearing of the Roman victory, fell on his sword. Catus Decianus, who had fled to Gaul, was replaced by Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus. Suetonius conducted punitive operations, but criticism by Classicianus led to an investigation headed by Nero's freedman Polyclitus. Suetonius was removed as governor, replaced by the more conciliatory Publius Petronius Turpilianus. The historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus tells us the crisis had almost persuaded Nero to abandon Britain.[11]

I am kind of getting a late start to this seeing as it is August 2nd. I haven't even taken any photos yet this month. I'll start tomorrow, if that's ok. For now here is a picture I took on July 27th. That's close enough to the beginning of August to still count right? There are no rules, so I'm saying it counts.

Susannah even made a nice little badge for August Break, but no matter how hard I try my blog won't let me add it.
This should be fun!

Hola, MeeGo. Not amoeba. Not mi-go (I wonder if they stay at the YMRCIGB-S?). The Register has a little bit on it, and Engadget has it labeled "a doozy?" With Intel and Nokia cooperating on a single Maemo/Moblin platform, re-dubbed MeeGo, we're seeing a reduction (in the medium term at least) of the number of platforms for smartphones and devices (leaving Windows mobile, iPhone OS, Bada, Android, Symbian still out there as well as plenty of others, I'm sure).
At OSiMWorld last year I fiddled around with Moblin devices and thought they were OK — but unfinished. I haven't done a whole lot with Maemo, either. But the two of them together, on ARM and x86 platforms? Sounds to me like a strong mix if the license-to-tinker and the dedication to Free Software remains. Since MeeGo is to live under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, I think that's a given. In addition, there's a history of working towards good governance there (by all ...read more...
Last week was devoted to add support for abr and vbr brushes. The abr file format comes from Adobe Photoshop, the later comes from Gimp. The motivation for this were the big collections on the web. Sites like deviantart.com are full of the artist's collection of the abr brushes. The motivation is also interoperability with GIMP and with proprietary Adobe Photoshop. vbr brush support was postponed because it was too much work just to support abr brushes.
First day I started with exploring the abr format, so that we know each other a bit. I started to write simple code to parse it, but I found out that the issue is so complicated. Valek Filippov is working on the python script which parses abr brush, so I started with that one. Important note: We support only brush format v1, v2 and v6.2 (Photoshop CS2). The newest format is not documented at all and there is not open-source implementation around. It would require a lot of reverse engineering and that takes so much time, that ...read more...
Hi there,
About a month ago I've introduced myself and the project that me, Schkrab and Diogo are conducting here. Now I'll talk a little more about it.
The Dimpress3D is divided into three main parts: the application (KDE application in which the presentation is made up), the exportation module (piece of code which generates the video file) and the player (a trivial player capable of stop and play the video accordingly to predetermined events, in order to show the presentation softly).
The .dim file saved by the application contains a .xml file which holds the content. The content of the presentation is composed by: graphic components (and its properties), a state machine which describes the presentation flow, animation and rendering options.
The exportation module is intended to read the .dim file and render a video. For now, we are using a python script running in Blender 2.49 to do so. We will build the application upon a plugin structure that will allow new exporters as well as other features to be dinamically linked.
Now, you can watch the ...read more...
I have fixed Exmap, my still favourite tool to measure system memory usage, to compile with latest kernels, and also to work on x86_64 (the latter was a bit of guess-work, but I think I got it right). KSysGuard seems to be getting close, and with Exmap unmaintained by its author I don't feel like doing this forever, but for now, it's still possible to get exmap from my home:llunak:kernel repository. And as I don't feel like trying to do cross-distro kernel packages in the buildservice, those not using openSUSE are left with either trying to package it for their other distro, or pick out the patches from the .src.rpm .
While I was at it, I had just a little look at memory usage. Since I had done quite some comparisons of KDE3's memory usage with other desktops in the past, the first thing that came to my mind was doing that quickly again. As these days LXDE appears to be the new lightweight kid on the block, I ...read more...
So I would like to take a few minutes to talk about audio routing in PulseAudio. This is a oft misunderstood topic and it does sometimes seem like black magic and/or broken but, as always, it's pretty simple when you look at it properly. That's not to say it's sensible (I have a several reservations about the current way of working), but the first step to improving something is understanding it, so I'll try to explain here and then say what I think is needed to improve it. This is a rather complex and in depth post, so if this kind of stuff doesn't float your boat, it's a good candidate to skip :p
So how does PulseAudio route your audio and what the hell do you mean by "audio routing" anyway? Well, PA handles multiple audio devices ("sinks" for output, "sources" for capture). When an application wants to play sound it says "Hey PulseAudio, play this!!", and PA tries it's best to comply. The application will typically not care about which device to actually output too - they ...read more...
Since KDE Software Compilation 4.4 we have an updated, improved and easier to use Hot New Stuff framework. So far only a few test candidates were ported to it, namely the wallpaper dialog, Parley, Plasma comic strips and Amarok when compiled with 4.4. Now it's time to change this. In cooperation with our forums staff, I will start a small course to let someone else do the work for me Should you participate? This is a great chance to learn about some of KDE's infrastructure and how to get the source, build it and write some small patches. You should know some C++ already, since that's too much to learn in the one or two weeks of the course. Other than that you should have a distro that provides kdelibs 4.4.0 development packages (if there is a kdelibs 4.4 available to you, chances are you're good to go). Oh, and you should be interested in hacking on KDE software obviously For more details ...read more...
Warning: no videos included, though they would help a lot. Also note that I'm using an Intel chipset in both my laptops (the big one also has an ATI chipset, but that doesn't work.)
Lukas recently discovered that Krita was taking about 100% of one of his CPU's cores. When moving the mouse over the canvas. Since X11 took about 60% of that CPU we immediately thought of painting issues, so I started testing with KWin's Paint desktop effect enabled. That effect overlays every rect that is redrawn with a color.
It quickly became clear that for some reason, updating the mouse position lable in the statusbar would update all of Krita's window: menu, toolbars, canvas, toolbox, dockers and statusbar. Curiously enough, Karbon only updates the statusbar. When I disabled the mouse position label in Krita, the CPU usage was gone.
Then I started playing some more, also on my other laptop and now in Ersingen for the KPresenter sprintlet, we tried the same on Thorsten's laptop. And I'm puzzled by the results:
On my X61t, the areas covered by ...read more...

Today being the day it is I should start with wishing all my fellow chinks out there a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. And then to the rest of the world, Happy Valentines Day! While I'm at it let me also congratulate KDE on a stellar 4.4 software compilation release, thank the openSUSE folks for a pretty darn good upgrade-experience, and of course, last but certainly not least, congratulate Plasmate, the lovable Plasma add-on creation tool, on our recent first ever alpha release!
You cannot imagine how excited I am about this
Unfortunately I don't have much to add to the other posts who have already previously announced the news, so I decided to do a brief showcase screencast instead.

So, first day of the Kate/KDevelop hacksprint.
We just talked and hacked at the rented flat,got to know each other and had a fun time. Everybody made it more or less in time, even last minute attendee Adymo from Ukraine, nice! Hacking-wise the productivity wasn't that high, esp. for me, but a few patches got committed here and there.
Right now I'm working on a little speedup for Kate, esp. for big MySQL files - lets see how it turns out. Cullmann showed me a few things I could do so maybe it works out, lets see.
Over the next week I plan to push in user configurable include paths for the PHP plugin and do some more Snippets & Scripting work in Kate, lets see how it turns out. I'll go home now, kinda sucks that I don't stay with the others here at the flat but have to take a 1h ride into the city… Berlin is definitely too big :D
I'm pleased to announce (as first as it seems) that KDevelop4 released its 8th Beta. This is mostly a bugfix release as we are slowly (but steadily) moving towards a final release. There's going to be another Beta soon with (hopefully) some more features as the KDevelop/Kate Sprint just started.
Additionally to kdevelop+kdevplatform you'll find Beta's of various php-related plugins on the KDE mirros. These plugins enable language support (code-completion and navigation), php-documentation view and debugging of php code (both standalone and inside a browser via xdebug). These are provided by Milian Wolf and Niko Sams, so join #kdevelop and give them a hug for providing such outstanding php support
For those eager to try out (and when the distro hasn't built packages yet), you can find the files on the KDE mirrors
It's a while since I wrote about UserBase, but there's been plenty of activity. Let's look at some statistics, first. We now have 1,212 content pages and 1,236 uploaded images. There have been 10,889 page edits since UserBase began – and that will already be out of date by the time you read this. We have 1,459 registered users, of which 20 have contributed this week. A year ago that statistic was a mere handful. The total number of views is now 2,764,290! Kontact is the most-viewed page – well ahead of the Welcome page – and Akonadi has passed GPU-Performance! A sign of the times, perhaps.
Top 10 contributors this week
Once again the top three places in the Contributions table go to translators. New contributors since last I wrote are Jzmer, writing about Kimpanel, Afiestas who has undertaken to get the Kbluetooth page sorted out, Aseigo who is writing about Plasmate and Algotruneman – ...read more...

In the now three years since Nokia purchased Qt I have been impressed to the extent that Nokia is taking advantage of their new Qt technology. It's basically turning into their development development SDK for all their smart phones. This is more or less what the press releases said at the time. But I'm sure eBay sent out a bunch of nice press releases about how helpful their 3 billion dollar Skype purchase was going to be for them... and look what that got them. However in the case of Qt those press releases (as I remember them) turned out to more or less be spot on.
As anyone with a N810 can tell you, you can't just stick a desktop UI on to a small device. It needs to be thumb-friendly.
One solution is QML. It's a declarative language, which opens up some interesting possibilities. However it currently isn't a toolkit, but only has primitive shapes. It's not really clear what the longterm plans for QML are. With its tight integration with QtScript its already pretty ideal for making simple ...read more...
The semester is nearly finished; Tuesday is the last exam (on quantum field theory). So finally I have some time for hacking. In the last few months, aside from some personal stuff, hacking almost exclusively meant Palapeli for me. I'm currently working on the design of the next version of Palapeli (with GHNS and puzzle piles, if everything works out), but that's not what I'm hacking on right now.
In Kolf 2, I've decided some time ago to abandon the third spatial dimension and completely return to the classic Kolf feeling. This big change means exchanging the Open Dynamics Engine by a 2D physics engine. There seems to be only one good 2D physics engine around, Box2D. Incidentally, Box2D switched to CMake just two weeks ago.
After only some hours, I had some first prototypes of how I could implement the current Kolf-NG on top of Box2D. In order to get a clean design, I chose not to rewrite Kolf-NG from ODE to Box2D, but to create a complete new Kolf, with big parts of ...read more...
Really?… A KDE event in the UK? Aye. Scotland, no less.

Tonight I could not attend band rehearsal so I used the time to play with the new QML language. There is a nice tutorial online and a good screencast.
QML allows one to write flashy applications with little code. My first QML program is a metronome. The N900 has a metronome program but it is rather boring. It does not look and feel like a real metronome. So I set out to write one in QML and managed to do so in 56 lines of QML. The interaction is simple: tap it to toggle between on and off and slide up and down to move the cross-bar on the metronome which will adjust the tempo in the range 40 to 208 beats per minute.
Without further ado here is the code. You can run it in qmlviewer. Two things are lacking at the moment: a nice SVG image of a metronome and of course the ticking sound. I am keen to find out how to make the metronome produce sound to make ...read more...

Have you ever wondered how a window system actually works ? I have. When I was preparing my Widgets In-Depth talk for Qt Developer Days last year, I decided I should implement a simple little window system as bonus material. This blog post will be a rough description of the window system I built using Qt, and a port of Qt to the new system.
As you probably know, the window system is the process that manages the windows on your screen. A window, also known as a window surface, can be described as an area of memory that will be drawn to the screen. Window surfaces are typically arranged in a scene-graph to keep track of them. Finally, window systems typically run as a server process. When other processes that want to show something on screen, they have to talk to it through some form of inter-process communication.

We need something that represents the memory area used to paint the window ...read more...
