Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by Doctor Who, Part 2
February 23, 2012 by Shannon - Boston University
Come along, readers! This is the second installment of the Geek Chic column's series on fashion inspired by the BBC program Doctor Who. This time around, I'll be focusing on the current Doctor's friends and foes, while Part 3 of this series will cover the Ninth and Tenth Doctors' companions.
Never watched the show or need a quick recap? Read Doctor Who Fashion: Part 1 to get all caught up!
And for more geeky goodness, check out previous Geek Chic posts about Star Trek-inspired fashion, The Big Bang Theory-inspired fashion, and The Lord of the Rings-inspired fashion.
Know Your Geek: About the Doctor's Companions
Also called an "assistant", the companion is someone who travels with the Doctor on his adventures. They're not always there by choice and they don't always stay for long, but one thing's for sure: they certainly are lucky! (I'm sure most of us would absolutely love a trip on the TARDIS!)
Since the Doctor has pretty much seen it all in his centuries of time travel, he likes having humans around so he can vicariously re-experience the excitement of seeing the universe for the first time. Companions often act as his conscience; the Doctor himself has said that "my friends have always been the best of me." He's captivated by their oh-so-human capacities to hope, to love, and to dream.
In addition, the human companions serve as a lens for the audience; since we're not 900-year-old Time Lords, the companions often ask the same pressing questions about time and space that we want answered.
Companions tend to be young, attractive females: While the Doctor and his companion are usually just friends, there's been the occasional romance onboard the TARDIS. Current companions Amy and Rory are the first married couple to ever travel together with the Doctor.
Outfits Inspired by The Doctor's Friends and Foes
Okay kids, this is where it gets complicated…hold on tight as we embark on another fashion-fueled adventure through the Time Vortex!

Amy, played by the gorgeous Karen Gillan, may not be not the feistiest ginger to ever grace the TARDIS (Donna Noble will forever hold that title), but she's definitely one spirited Scottish lass! She first meets the Doctor at the age of seven, but due to a slight timey-wimey mishap, she doesn't get to travel with him for another twelve years.
Nevertheless, she's extremely loyal to the Doctor (sometimes to a fault) and lives for adventure. Though there was initially some viewer outcry about her abbreviated hemlines, Amy's definitely proved to be a strong female character unafraid to speak her mind. In the beginning of her story arc, Amy often displayed childish, petulant behavior. Now, she's transitioned from being the girl who waited to being an independent woman.
Product Information: Jacket, Shirt, Skirt, Boots, Necklace, Tights, Nail Polish
The great thing about Amy's style is that it's really accessible: Most of her key pieces are already hanging in the typical college girl's closet, and a great deal of her wardrobe comes from mall/high-street shops like Topshop, H&M, American Apparel, and UNIQLO. Copying her whole outfit is no fun (unless you're cosplaying), so add a trendy twist on her classic plaid shirt with this sheer blouse. Amy's never met a leather jacket she didn't like, and she'd surely snap up this faux-fur trimmed one in a heartbeat.
Karen Gillan definitely lucked out in the genetic lottery, but a denim mini is cute even if you haven't got never-ending legs like hers! Get her exact footwear with Doc Marten Triumphs, or slip on your favorite pair of ankle boots or Converses. Accessorize with a pair of tights and fun nail polish, then personalize the look with a necklace with your own first initial.
Rory Williams
Rory, played by Arthur Darvill, is Amy's boyfriend and later her husband. He starts off as a well-meaning but rather hapless bloke, but he undergoes some serious changes after joining the TARDIS crew. While Amy and the Doctor love jumping into the thick of things, Rory is usually more hesitant.
Don't be fooled by his cautious demeanor, though: This compassionate nurse definitely comes into his own as a courageous and mature character. He's incredibly faithful to his friends and family and is often the one who ends up really moving the audience with his actions; most memorably, Rory chose to protect his wife for over two thousand years in the form of The Last Centurion. (All together now: Awwwww!) In one particularly tear-jerking episode, Amy calls him "the most beautiful man she's ever met."
Product Information: Shirt, Vest, Jacket, Jeans, Scarf, Shoes, Ring
Rory, like his wife, is a big fan of plaid and also wears a good deal of Topman clothing. (Topman is the men's offshoot of Topshop.) Layer a yellow gingham shirt and neutral puffer vest, then add a pair of appropriately named boyfriend jeans for a sporty but put-together look. Top it all off with a varsity jacket. (Letterman-inspired outerwear has been a hot trend this year!)
Now it's time for accessories. Wedge heels put a feminine spin on Rory's usual desert boots and add another hint of a trend. Finally, as a nod to Rory's title of The Last Centurion, add a Roman-inspired ring and a burgundy scarf reminiscent of his cloak.
River Song
Dr. River Song, played by Alex Kingston, is an archaeologist and time-traveler with a mysterious past. Keep in mind that there may be readers who haven't watched the show yet, so please try to avoid major spoilers in the comments! Although the Doctor and River's paths have crossed many times, they don't always meet in the right order. As such, River always documents her adventures in a TARDIS-blue journal so she and the Doctor can match their timelines at each encounter.
River Song may have a melodious name, but she's no shrinking violet: River has major fighting chops and isn't afraid to use them, though the typically pacifistic Doctor doesn't always approve of her aggressive approach.
Product Information: Jacket, Tunic, Leggings, Boots, Clutch, Bracelet, Earrings, Planner
Dr. Song has a fierce wardrobe to match her take-no-prisoners attitude; she favors sexy silhouettes and labels like AllSaints Spitalfields and Christian Louboutin. A cargo tunic and denim moto jacket paired with sleek liquid leggings make for a practical outfit that still oozes sex appeal. River's ready to run with the Doctor at a moment's notice, so make sure to pick sturdy footwear like these buckled boots.
Accessorize with a leather wrap bracelet that's both pretty and tough, then add some fun allusions with a blue planner similar to River's journal, gold earrings shaped like her trusty alpha meeson blaster, and a pouty patent clutch that references her handy-dandy hallucinogenic lipstick. Hello, Sweetie!
Amelia Pond
As I mentioned above, Amy first meets the Doctor at the age of seven; back then she went by the name Amelia. Played by Karen Gillan's real-life cousin Caitlin Blackwood, Amelia Pond is a gutsy orphan who lives with her aunt and yearns for adventure – she's not at all fazed when a strange man in a blue box drops out of the sky into her front yard.
Since the Doctor's fresh out of regeneration when he meets her, he's starving but has no concept of what he likes, and demands that she "fry him something." After a series of culinary experiments, he finally settles on fish fingers and custard. The Doctor promises to take her along with him in the TARDIS after he makes some quick repairs, so Amelia eagerly packs her suitcase and waits for him all night. Twelve years and four psychiatrists later, she still hasn't given up hope on her "Raggedy Doctor."
Product Information: Coat, Dress, Cardigan, Boots, Hat, Bag, Necklace
Not only is Amelia Pond an extremely brave seven-year-old, but she's also got some bold fashion sense! Get her look with a toggle coat similar to her Topshop one. A polka-dotted dress and Fair Isle cardigan form a more grown-up take on her cute nightgown and bed jacket.
It wouldn't be very practical to carry a suitcase to class, so pack up your school supplies in this briefcase-inspired satchel. A pair of bright wellies and cozy hat make the outfit perfect for a rainy or chilly day. Finally, add a fish pendant as a reference to Amelia's most celebrated recipe.
The Weeping Angels
Created by current showrunner Steven Moffat, the Weeping Angels were first introduced in the absolutely terrifying Tenth Doctor episode "Blink" (which featured Carey Mulligan in one of her earlier roles), though they've since appeared in a few Eleventh Doctor stories. Widely recognized as some of the creepiest Doctor Who monsters ever, the Weeping Angels are an ancient race of aliens with an ingenious defense mechanism: When someone is looking at them, they become "quantum-locked" and turn to indestructible stone.
But don't underestimate these aliens: Glance away — even for a split second — and they can move faster than the wind. Unfortunately, they generally want to kill you and/or feed off your potential temporal energy. So remember: Don't blink — don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink.
Product Information: Dress, Jacket, Shoes, Ring, Earrings, Eyelashes
To channel one of the Lonely Assassins (so called because they cannot look at each other for fear of being forever turned to stone), start with a draped dress in heather gray, then add a polished charcoal blazer. Silver and gray would make for a rather predictable pairing, so slip on strappy bronze platforms instead for an unexpected color combo. A pair of wing-shaped earrings and a stone ring complete the lethally elegant ensemble.
If you followed the Doctor's instructions, you should have your eyes wide open by now, but if you absolutely must blink, make sure you're wearing a pair of false eyelashes: Perhaps your flirty, fluttering lashes will persuade the deadly Angels to take mercy! (But seriously, don't blink.)
Would you wear these looks? Who is your favorite of the current companions? (I'd certainly like a Rory in my love life!) Are you looking forward to fashion inspired by previous companions? What other geeky inspirations would you like to see? (A genetically modified little bird told me that the column will be paying tribute to Panem next time.) Let me know in the comments!

Alexander Pope, Amsterdam, Bastille, British, Drake Stillman, England, English, Enlightenment, France, Francis Bacon, French, French Parliament, Galileo, Isaac Newton, Italian, John Locke, John Lockman, John Milton, Jonathan Swift, letters, London, Pennsylvania, Quakers, rare books, Roman Catholic Church, tail pieces, University of Toronto, vignettes, Voltaire, William Bowyer, William Penn, William Shakespeare
"The great Freedom with which Mr. de Voltaire delivers himself in his various Observations, cannot give him any Apprehensions of their being less favourably receiv'd upon that Account, by a judicious People who abhor flattery. The English are pleas'd to have their Faults pointed out to them, because this shews at the same Time, that the Writer is able to distinguish their merit."
Voltaire (1694-1778)
London: Printed for C. Davis…and A. Lyon…, 1733
PQ2086 L4 E5 1733
Voltaire (nee François-Marie Arouet) fled to England after arguing with powerful French political figures. During his exile, from 1726 to 1728, he learned English, reading the works of William Shakespeare, John Milton, Isaac Newton, and Francis Bacon; and met other British authors such as Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift. The British embraced Voltaire as a victim of France's political discrimination.
In Letters, Voltaire, with the works of John Locke and Enlightenment authors as his basis, wrote a slur against the French government and the French Roman Catholic Church, calling for political and religious reform. Letters was translated from French into English by John Lockman from a manuscript prepared by Voltaire.
Voltaire wrote about Isaac Newton and his theories in four of the letters. He told the story of the falling apple as the impetus for Newton's theorem of the law of gravity, the first time this anecdote was told in print.
"…as he was walking one Day in his Garden, and saw some Fruits fall from a Tree, he fell into a profound Meditation on that Gravity, the Cause of which has so long been sought, but in vain, by all the Philosophers, whilst the Vulgar think there is nothing mysterious in it. He said to himself, that from what height soever, in our Hemisphre, those Bodies might descend…Why may not this Power which causes heavy Bodies to descend, and is the same without any sensible Diminution at the remostest Distance from the Center of the Earth, or on the Summits of the highest Mountains; Why, said Sir Isaac, may not this power extend as high as the Moon?"
Voltaire also wrote about William Penn and the founding of Pennsylvania as a haven for Quakers.
About this time arose the illustrious William Pen, who establish'd the power of the Quakers in America, and would have made them appear venerable in the eyes of the Europeans, were it possible for mankind to respect virtue, when reveal'd in a ridiculous light…Pen set sail for his new dominions with two ships freighted with Quakers, who follow'd his fortune. The country was then call'd Pensilvania from William Pen, who there founded Philadelphia, now the most flourishing city in that country."
Letters was published in French in Amsterdam in 1734. It was immediately condemned by the French Parliament. Copies that made it into France were confiscated and burned. A warrant was issued for Voltaire's arrest. The printer was imprisoned in the Bastille. At the same time, it was a bestseller in England, going through several more editions during the eighteenth century.
It is likely that this English edition was printed by William Bowyer (1699-1777), as the ornaments (the title vignette and tail-pieces) are those used in other of his imprints.
Rare Books copy has the bookplate of Drake Stillman (1910-1993), an emeritus professor of the history of science at the University of Toronto. He published many translations of the works of Galileo and other sixteenth century Italian scientists.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

Paoli Manutii led his father's famous Aldine Press from a concentration on ancient Greek texts, his father's love, to a concentration on classical Latin texts, his own love. In particular, Paoli maintained a life-long passion for Cicero. He restored the reputation of the Aldine Press by publishing scholarly editions of Cicero's letters and orations. Much of the correcting and editing was his own. He continued with his work on Cicero by adding commentary. He published his first edition of Cicero's work in 1540, adding another edition in 1547. This is the first complete edition of Cicero's orations, published in three volumes. From the Kenneth Lieurance Ott Collection donated to the Okanangan County Museum, Washington.

Expectations Sky-High for £34 Million Amber Valley Development
Posted on August 7, 2020 Comments Off on Expectations Sky-High for £34 Million Amber Valley Development
A Nottingham property developer has begun work on a 148-home development in the grounds of the former Stephensons factory in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire.
After a long and detailed planning process, Peter James Homes is now on site at the 22-acre 'Woodland Heights' development in Bullbridge near Crich and managing director, Simon Gardiner, is excited about the lifestyle it will enable him to create.
He said: "The sheer topography of the site's pretty hillside setting has certainly presented some technical challenges but it will also enable us to make Woodland Heights something truly special.
"We've already begun making better sense of the site with a succession of plateaus and retaining walls – and as the project gathers pace, not only will that help add individuality and interest to the layout but it will also help us make the most of the lovely views across the valley."
The 148-home Woodland Heights development will consist of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom houses, ranging from £190,000 to £500,000. A mix of materials and construction types will also be used to help create a friendly and accessible 'village' feel.
Simon added: "In addition to a variety of sizes, styles and shapes of house, we're using a mix of building materials and finishes. We're using stone for some and brick for others, as well as a combination of render and brick, to help give it an authentic Derbyshire feel."
With the rivers Amber and Derwent on its doorstep and its verdant woodland setting amongst some of Derbyshire's finest countryside, it is clear that Woodland Heights will appeal to outdoor lovers, mountain bikers and walkers.
However, it is also within striking distance of some key regional towns and cities, like Derby, Belper, Matlock and Nottingham and, according to Simon, that will make it as attractive to city professionals as to first-time buyers and young families.
He said: "This is no everyday housing estate. With its vertical elevation, its riverside walks, its interesting house styles and its amazing countryside views, it will be a really rewarding place to call home."
Established in 2012, Peter James Homes has built its reputation on the basis of flexible, durable, long-lasting homes that work within their surroundings and meet the needs of modern day living.
The new Woodland Heights homes will be marketed off plan from October 2020 with completion of the first houses due in April 2021.

10 Myths About Marijuana BUSTED!
Millions of Americans are starting to comprehend the lies they have been informed about pot, as bud immediately becomes increasingly more socially appropriate. Here are the five greatest myths about weed that have avoided any sort of legalization movement from getting on the roll.
While continuous use indicates to make indications of addiction, bud doesn't really include a "nicotine-like" substance that can make it addicting. (This is comparable to being "hooked" to pop.) There particularly in comparison with the withdrawal effects of drugs like crack or heroin – – or actually an alcohol – induced hangover, are small to no withdrawal symptoms.
Simply put, several studies have unequivocally disproved the notion that using marijuana leads to use of harder drugs. Cannabis has really successfully been utilized to decrease hard drug users' dependence on medications. Therefore, in fact, it's the precise reverse of the gateway drug.
Yet another myth where the precise reverse factor holds true: Not just have examined disproved the notion that cannabis problems your mind, they have discovered that it really safeguards your mind in the harm that heavy drinking may cause.
Its marijuana policy have been often defended by the government by stating their own studies that state that marijuana doesn't have any healing results. Not the case. Apart from the uses outlined above, bud have been shown to have favorable effects on individuals struggling from headaches, glaucoma, AIDS, Several Sclerosis, epilepsy, gut problems, and a large number of additional health issues.
And, lately, actually the American Medical Association required the authorities to get rid of its prohibitive Program one standing.
It's often stated that cannabis smoke contains such large levels of toxins that marijuana customers' danger of developing lung illness is equivalent to or more than that of cigarettes customers. Aside from their psychoactive ingredients, cannabis and cigarettes smoke are almost similar. 21 Because most marijuana smokers inhale more deeply and hold the smoke inside their bronchi, more harmful substance could be had per cigarette. Nevertheless, it's the complete quantity of stimulant inhalation—not the quantity in each smoke—that matters.
Cannabis has been believed to conflict with the manufacturing of hormones connected with reproduction, causing potential infertility among adult customers and postponed sexual development among teenagers. There's no proof that cannabis affects male reproductive function. The Jamaican and Costa Rican area studies discovered no variations in non – users and hormone amounts between weed consumers. Apart from one circumstance report of the 16-year old pot smoker who had failed to advance to adolescence, 42 there is nothing to show that this type of possibility exists. In whatever additional methods marijuana might be considered by one to be harmful to adolescents; their sexual development doesn't be retarded by it.
Information collected by the Drug Abuse Warning System (DAWN) demonstrate a current upsurge in "bud mentions" by individuals seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms. making use of a one-page form, emergency-room staff record "drug abuse symptoms," note the existence or lack of alcohol being a contributing element, and checklist as much as four additional medicines lately had by the individual.
Despite bud being probably the most commonly used illicit medication, in emergency areas, it stays minimal frequently mentioned illicit medication.
47%. Despite current raises in marijuana mentions, hospital emergency areas aren't overloaded with marijuana users seeking health-related interest. In 1992, of 433,493 complete drug mentions, just 4,464—about 1%—included the use of grass alone.
A big amount of large scale researche of students have typically found no distinction in grade-point averages between cannabis consumers and non-users. 69 One research found lower levels among students documented to be daily users of cannabis, but the writers didn't determine a causal connection and figured both phenomena were part of a complicated of inter-related social and mental difficulties.
In a single longitudinal study of university students, after controlling for additional variables, cannabis consumers were identified to be just as likely to effectively complete their educations and to have higher levels than non – users. Yet another study found that cannabis consumers in school obtained greater than non-users on standard "achievement values" scales.
Area studies performed in Jamaica, Costa Rica and Portugal also found no signs of an amotivational syndrome marijuana-using populations. In these trials of working – class men, the work and educational records of cannabis consumers were, typically, comparable to those of non – users. Actually, in Jamaica, bud was usually smoked during operating hours as an aid to efficiency.
As does an equal quantity of cigarettes smoked that contains about the same amount of cancer agents. I tought to explain that the heavy tobacco smoker uses much more tobacco than a heavy cannabis smoker consumes cannabis. It could be more affordable to have weed foods and beverages, that are entirely non – carcinogenic, if pot were lawful. That is in marked comparison with "smokeless" tobacco products like snuff which could cause cancer of the mouth and neck.

Q: MS Access 2010 tab control bug Developing new application in Access 2010, that includes use of MS supplied tab control.
Evidence is there is a bug with the control so the only way to allow multiple rows is to set Use Theme attribute to No. However the downside of this is that it does not allow the setting of any colours. Result it technically works but looks terrible.
This workaround is documented by microsoft at
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_access-mso_other/microsoft-access-2010-how-to-create-multiple-row/d0a6f738-1a3a-4e70-920c-c24d55bb8a0f [^]
I really wish to avoid have to use a third party control.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour, and advise if there are any other workarounds to allow the setting of some colours?

A: Yes, this bug presents in MS Access 2010.
As a workaround you can use navigation control, but it recreates page every time when you open it and has some more problems, personally I don't like it and trying to avoid using this control.
As additional workaround you can use the same tab control, but select style with no tabs. Implement tabs using command buttons or even pictures. It will require some additional coding, but it will give you much more opportunities for design

Eve Online's immortal pilots take control in Nov. 19 expansion
Mike Minotti@tolkoto
Ships exploring the galaxy in Eve Online.

Developer and publisher CCP Games has announced the next expansion for Eve Online, its space-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Titled Rubicon, the new wave of content will mark Eve Online's 20th free expansion since the game's launch in 2003.
Along with the usual ship and combat balances, Rubicon adds new story content focusing on the open defiance of Eve's immortal pilots against the galaxy's empires.
"The pilots of EVE have grown bold, defying the empires that once created them," states the expansion's official site. "Is it dissent? Subversion? Or is it the beginning of a new age, where the immortal elite of a universe take their first steps toward truly claiming the heavens as their own?"
This means that players can gain control over the taxing of resources harvested from planets (Eve's economy makes up a large part of the game). A new line of ships from the Sisters of Eve will also provide for stealthier travel across hostile space.
CCP Games has set Eve Online: Rubicon for a Nov. 19 release.


Modest Mouse have announced a series of tour dates in May with Brand New and Survival Knife. Now look closer and realize that Brand New is only playing them for one show. Insert disappointment face here.

A conversation about whether anyone thought the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie would be any good had morphed into a spirited debate between takes over exactly which criteria the quality of an Alice adaptation should be judged by.
The thing was, Joss and Summer and Felicia not only seemed to have all three of them very strong opinions on the subject, but they each seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Alice adaptations on which to draw in making their arguments. Joss was singing the praises of some Czech version by a guy whose name Miracle couldn't pronounce (and she suspected Joss couldn't correctly either) which he called a "surrealist masterpiece." Felicia seemed to be big on fidelity to the source material; she liked the sets from a 1983 production starring Kate Burton, but decided her favorite was the 1985 Irwin Allen production with Natalie Gregory "even though they call the Jabbewock the 'Jabberwocky' for some insane reason; everyone knows 'Jabberwocky' is the name of the poem." Summer tried to defend the one that was made in 1999 with Whoopi as the cat and got immediately and mercilessly mocked; Felicia said Summer only liked it because she had a crush on Miranda Richardson, but Joss disagreed, saying he thought the crush was on Tina Majorino instead. Summer just blushed and didn't say anything else for the next five minutes.
Miracle was sort of afraid of what their reaction would be if they ever were to find out the only Alice movie she remembered ever seeing was the Disney cartoon (although she vaguely recalled the advertisements for the one Summer liked, too).
This has been Miracle's life ever since she had been casted for Dollhouse. It wasn't always Felicia and Summer and Alice, of course (two weeks ago it had been Eliza and Alan and Transformers) but it was pretty darn representative of the kind of conversations which happened on a Joss Whedon set. Only Miracle had found that even if she only understood about half of what came out of Joss' and the actors' mouths, she was still absolutely in love with the whole experience. The actors were amazing and the camaraderie was to die for and the fact that now she knew how to differentiate between all of the different races in Lord of the Rings was a totally valuable skill, right?
And the fans; people (Joss, Eliza, Maurissa, Amy) had tried to prepare her for the fans when she took the job, but there was nothing they could have done to get her ready for the realization that there were people now who got excited to see her, would follow her twitter and send her encouraging tweets when she was depressed, and that suddenly there were several million more people in the world who genuinely cared for her. Nothing prepared her for the experience of going to a con for the first time. It had been just . . . mind-blowing.
Sometimes it felt like she'd fallen into a Wonderland of her own, and Joss Whedon was like her White Rabbit--the White Rabbit was the one Alice followed down the hole into Wonderland, right? she was pretty sure she remembered that from The Matrix--leading her to a series of crazy and wild adventures that operated at a logic ninety degrees from the one she's operated under her whole life up to that point.
But now they were filming "Epitaph Two," the last episode of Dollhouse (she couldn't quite get herself to believe it), and she wondered if that means it was time for Alice to wake up from her dream and leave Wonderland.
Only Felicia and Summer's presence here put the lie to that notion; it was more like a cult, apparently, and once you joined, you never, ever left. And she wasn't sure if that fact scared her or relieved her.
The day ended eventually, and Felicia, Summer, and Miracle were all done with Dollhouse. The regulars still had another two days of filming left, but for the three of them it was over, finished, caput.
Felicia and Summer took Miracle out for drinks afterwards to--well, celebrate was the wrong word, but to mark the occasion--for all three of them, to close that chapter in their lives and careers. Miracle got the distinct impression that Joss wanted to get invited along, but when she confided this to Felicia in private, the redhead just snorted. "Wants to get into Summer's pants, is more like it," she said. "Going out's just the intermediate step."
Miracle was confused; didn't Summer already have a boyfriend? "How would that get him into her pants?"
Felicia just laughed. "You've obviously never seen her after three shots of tequila."
Miracle was looking forward to it.
Miracle woke up the next morning with a killer hangover and a naked Summer Glau in her bed. Apparently, Felicia hadn't been lying.
She takes a minute to appraise the situation. She's currently living the wet-dream fantasy of a hundred thousand horny fanboys (including Joss Whedon their king).

Privacy: A Global Perspective
By Andy Curtis-At July 24, 2018-No Comments- Cyber Security Blog
Around the world, citizens are making their voices heard: the right to privacy isn't something that can be disregarded. Governments and businesses must work together to create the conditions that safeguard personal information from accidental exposure, loss, or theft. But there's no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Nations have unique customs and laws that shape their approach to privacy protection.
Privacy in the US
It may surprise you to know that the United States has no federal law that regulates the general collection, use, or disclosure of personal information. Instead, the US has a patchwork of laws that vary by state and business sector.
Some of the most prominent include
The Federal Trade Commission Act (which protects consumers against unfair or deceptive business practices)
The Financial Services Modernization Act (which regulates the finance industry)
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (which protects medical information)
These are just a few of the most established regulations, and with data breaches being a continual security threat, new and more robust requirements are being implemented all the time.
Privacy Around the World
Other nations are taking steps to address privacy in accordance to their needs and capabilities. These solutions are diverse, and should always be understood before we collect data from a country's citizens.
Leading the way in this effort is the European Union's Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It includes provisions that
Expand the definition of "personal information."
Grant EU individuals numerous rights.
Regulate how organizations manage personal data.
Separate the responsibility of data controller and data processor.
Create the business role of "Data Protection Officer."
Establish requirements for breach notification and mitigation.
Impose fines for violators.
Global Transfer of Information
So why do global privacy laws matter? Well, as a global organization, we do business around the world.
We can't impose privacy laws in other regions, so we need to work within the frameworks created by the countries where we collect and handle personal information.
That means if we process information from a person in Sweden, we have to respect Sweden's privacy laws. And if we're collecting information on a customer in Brazil, we have to respect Brazil's privacy laws … you get the idea.
Failing to follow these laws exposes us to big fines or penalties, and undermines the trust of our customers
Take the time to know the laws and regulations of our global business partners and customers, and abide by them as if they were the laws of our country.

Q: PHP Cli write text to file I am trying to run a CLI php script, while most of it works, I am not able to dump the log file.
Code:
    private function WriteLogForCLI($msg){
        try{
            $ttw = " *************************************************** " . PHP_EOL;
            $ttw .= " *" . PHP_EOL;
            $ttw .= " * TIME STAMP: " . date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
            $ttw .= " *" . PHP_EOL;
            $ttw .= " * $msg" . PHP_EOL;
            $ttw .= " *" . PHP_EOL;
            $ttw .= " *************************************************** " . PHP_EOL;
            $logfile = str_replace('//', '/', FCPATH . 'assets/logs/' . date("m-d-Y") . '.txt');
            $fh = fopen($logile, 'wb');
            //var_dump($fh);
            //var_dump($ttw);
            fwrite($fh, $ttw);
            fclose($fh);
            //var_dump($logfile);
        }catch(Exception $e){
            var_dump($e->getMessage());
        }
    }

$logfile path is correct, and is the absolute location of where this file should be located... for instance /var/www/the_site/assets/logs/03-06-2014.txt is var_dump'd which is correct.
I have made sure the directory this is written to has 0777 access.
What can I do to make this work?  All I am trying to do is write a log file that has a $msg, but have it run from cli.
I've tried it with my normal login, and the root login and the file never gets written.
Server is Ubuntu 13.10 server, with PHP 5.5.3

A: you have
$logfile = str_replace('//', '/', FCPATH . 'assets/logs/' . date("m-d-Y") . '.txt');

but, you are using $logile in fopen function
$fh = fopen($logile, 'wb');

so, change to
$fh = fopen($logfile, 'wb');


Within the northern Arizona state lie the Springerville and San Francisco volcanoes.
The Springerville volcanic field consists of several hundred cinder cones and volcanic craters, many of which are located in a triangle bounded by AZ Highways 60, 260, and Forest Road 117 (referred to below as the "Triangle"). The land slopes upward from an elevation of 7000ft. along Hwy. 60 to 9500 ft. and higher in the White Mountains. The lower portions of the area, because of warmer temperatures and less precipitation, are covered only with grasses and brush. As the land rises, it becomes more densely covered with trees and other vegetation, and above about 8000 feet it is forested with conifers and aspens.
The entire slope from the Round Valley to the higher elevations of the White Mountains is dotted with cinder cones. In the higher locations, because of the dense vegetation, many of the cinder cones are not readily visible and are less well defined than in the lower elevations. In contrast, within the Triangle cinder cones and craters can be seen everywhere and literally define the landscape.
Traveling the roads bounding the Triangle by car provides many wonderful scenic views of this fascinating landscape. There are a number of pull-outs and other opportunities to stop and enjoy the views. These views can become outright spectacular when Mother Nature provides great skies or unusual light (as during the monsoon), or a snow cover in winter. While the scenery can be enjoyed from the major roads, to truly appreciate the beauty of this landscape one has to venture onto the backroads with a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle, or, best of all, explore the land on foot. The back roads are rough in places. They are potentially impassable after heavy rains – even for vehicles with four wheel drive.
The land is "checker boarded", i.e. some is privately owned, and much is state trust land. Entering state trust land requires a permit. Whether traveling on state or private land, visitors should drive their vehicles only on existing roadways. ORV drivers have done much damage by attempting to go straight up the side of cinder cones. Even one pass with an ORV usually damages the fragile surface irreversibly and often leaves a permanent scar on the side of the mountain. Hiking the volcanoes is very rewarding. However it can be demanding – some of the slopes are steep, and lava rock and loose cinders can make the footing difficult.
Over the years I have hiked innumerable cinder cones large and small, many of them multiple times. I never seem to get tired of hiking and photographing in the area. Each volcano is a potential photographic vantage point as well as a photographic subject. The graceful outlines of the craters and cones plus the right light can add up to wonderful opportunities for the photographer.
Much of the San Francisco Volcanic Field is similar to the Springerville Volcanoes. Some differences include that this area is more accessible, and the roads are better. A large portion of the land is privately owned, and of the private land large tracts are owned by Babbit Ranches. Babbit Ranches have explicitly permitted access to the public as long as people stay on existing roads and otherwise respect generally accepted rules about travel on private land.
The photographer Hart Kannegiesser provided the details and images for the Volcanoes of Northern Arizona destination.


that would be a decent nickname for a so for a Sophros, though so would reaper, planter, and gardener.
someone suggested Elysium as a possible supernal realm for another path. I think it might work well for this path.
Last edited by Dataweaver; 05-07-2016, 03:58 AM.
I think of Mediums as the bridge between the living and the dead.
Oxlahun the Maya equivalent of Olympus looks like a pyramid fused with a giant tree. It could work well for the Path imagery.
For the Supernal inhabitants Serpents would be the best fit. Ents have zero Death symbolism while Serpent is a pretty common symbol for the cycle of Life and Death. Also it's a mythic rule everywhere there are mystic trees there are serpentine guardians.
Last edited by ganonso; 05-07-2016, 07:55 AM.
Might Oxlahun work better as an Emanation, as with Yggdrasil?
OK; Serpents it is. For now, there are Serpents in Elysium.
And to the extent that there's any "canon" associated with a purely fandom product, consider your Sophroi Aeons canonized.
Still need a replacement Realm for Mount Qaf, something that works better as an environment (what Maestros Mage Sight sees) than as a place.
Egyptian called the desert around their home Deshret the place of desolation whence ennemies came from. It was the land of chaos so maybe nice for a Forces/Spirit. I think the lack of Prime would translate in Mage's imagery as a wasteland.
Well Qaf as a concept is supposed to be a Mountain and somehow surround the world, so I actually do think it works as the Supernal Realm.
Speaking more generally, maybe a focus on accession, high places, and the sky?
Actually you know what.Raging elements who can be bargained with. That totally in the range of Inuit myth and esthetic. One advantage would be to avoid the correlation with the Aether with two Fire Realms.
OK; do the Inuit have something that could be used as a Realm name? Preferably something that wouldn't clash too horribly with calling the denizens "djinn"?
I am definitely liking these alternative Paths. Maybe enough to incorporate them into my stuff so that I can feature a setup like the Ravnica Guilds for ten Paths.
On the other hand, though, framing these Paths in the settings of Dark Eras might be somewhat difficult. Or, at least, require a lot of work. This might especially be the case for the Sundered World and To The Strongest, though for the latter I can see these Paths being alternative iterations of the Fivefold Soul (Acanthus and Anakalos being Ren, Mastigos and Kleos for Ba, etc.).
Also, may I ask where you derived the names for these Paths? We know, for certain, that the present day names for the canon Paths originated from Greece, so I was curious which Greek words you used for this set.

Defined as an apparently self-contradictory or nonsensical statement, the Irish bull has a long history in the national culture, especially on stage. In some ways, the bull foreshadowed Absurdist theatre: both suggest a deeper meaning for surface-level nonsense. Since the Renaissance, Irish and English playwrights have used bulls ... more

Q: Override a standard button in Salesforce page I'm trying to override a standard button (delete) in a Salesforce page. I overrode it with a Visualforce Page but the problem I'm facing is the pop up blocker.
The purpose of overriding the button is to ask the user whether he/she wants to delete the file and do the deletion on the third party host.
Is there any way I can either stop the pop up blocker or use another overriding approach?
My visualforce page contains a js script that will open a pop up window. I'm wondering if I can put this js script in a different place!

A: Don't use window.open as that can get blocked as it is a popup.
If you don't want a fancy confirmation box you can use javascript confirm function
if (confirm('are you sure you want to delete?')) {
  // delete
} else {
  // error
}

If you need fancy way of asking for it use a modal box instead as seen on http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ there is many available on the net that are easy to use and can work with other libraries or without any (the jqueryui link is merely to illustrate the dialog box.
Here is a good one with a demo as a confirmation modal box (last demo on the page)

Q: Classpath resolution with hierarchical custom JavaFx components in Scenebuilder I'm creating custom components using FXML. The custom components are designed in a hierarchical fashion.
When I design a custom component B that uses another custom component A, a classpath problem dialog pops up in scenebuilder and I simply fix this by setting the appropriate classpath.
However when I create three components, say C containing B containing A, and try to open top-level component C in Scenebuilder it fails. It asks me for classpaths which I duly specify. It finds B but does not find A.
The classpath, FXML and the code is correct as the application is able to execute properly. Only Scenebuilder is having problems.
How should one open hierarchical custom component with Scenebuilder?
Any reference to an example with hierarchical component definitions using FXML would be greatly appreciated and get a bounty of 50 points. (only 3 levels needed)

A: Someone named David did answer your question on the forum.
For legacy purpose I post it here.
There is a problem with the classloader in Scene Builder for custom components.
When you load a FXML file in SceneBuilder: it uses a FXMLLoader with its own classloader.
In order to load custom components which use their own FXMLLoader to load other custom components, it is necessary to make all FXMLLoader use the same classloader.
As David said on the forum, you can achieve that by adding this code in your custom component.
public class CustomC extends VBox {
    public CustomC() {
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
        loader.setRoot(this);
        loader.setLocation(this.getClass().getResource("CustomC.fxml"));

        // Make sure to load "CustomC.fxml" with the same classloader that
        // was used to load CustomC class.
        loader.setClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());

        try {
           final Node root = (Node)loader.load();
           assert root == this;
        } catch (IOException ex) {
           throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
        }
    }
}

If you want to externalize this code in a class, it is important to put this class in the same jar as your custom components: you cannot put it in a external jar (at least for now).

Coat of arms: depicts a golden shield, which includes three slim blue lions passant gardant with red tongues in the middle and golden oak branches along both sides of the shield.

Flag: is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue (top), black, and white. the blue is for the vaulted blue sky above the native land, the black for attachment to the soil of the homeland as well as the fate of Estonians — for centuries black with worries, and white for purity, hard work, and commitment.

For a long time, I have had a distaste for the marking of occasions: weddings, graduations, anniversaries, etc. I've mentioned this here on H&R a few times. I feel a little weird about it, from time to time, to be honest with you. Most people love these occasions.
Then, just when I start to feel a little mystified by my own logical salmon swim, something always hits me, and I realize there's a derned good reason for my weirdness; that my weirdness, on this particular issue might just be a form of transcendence.
Today, for instance, a friend on Facebook summed up her life of late. She mentioned how happy she is. So . . . cool. I'm glad. There is no problem with that statement, in and of itself.
Frequently, though, friends will go the other way on Facebook. They say things like. "Goodbye, 2010. You were horrible." Or they might put up "Worst day ever." Things like that.
"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times . . ."
When I see these posts, either the negative or the positive ones, I realize that I simply don't think that way. If I really scrutinize things, I can look back at the past few years and I can say that they have been the most difficult ones of my life. But, see -- I don't do that. Not on a regular basis -- not unless I'm writing a blog post or something.
If this is a kind of transcendence, it happens because of my hard-wiring. I sure don't work at it, so I can't claim it as any kind of accomplishment borne out of meditation or something.
But if you think about it, just mentioning how perfect things are, in a Facebook status, sort of sets one up for the alternative, at least in terms of one's working mental state.While it's cool to be appreciative of the good times, it might not be such a good idea to print them up --- to share them as an occasion, if you will.
Marking the bad stuff sort of goes the other way, of course. Saying 2010 was a bad year sort of chisels it into stone. It feels too much like a lost year when it is written down and published like that.
If I look back, I do see the bad stuff, but I don't let the bad stuff smother my memory of a time period. For instance, I might remember how hard things were when my dad was sick a while ago, but I remember that as being bad -- not the whole time in which it happened. My memory says: "It was horrible when my dad was sick," but it doesn't say, "That was a horrible year."
I suppose summing things up can be good for us, at times, but maybe not when it comes down to summing up the essential quality of certain chunks of our lives.
I guess, to some extent, it comes back to thinking about "nowness." To take it a little deeper, though, the moment we find ourselves in is the only one that's really important. And the event isn't the moment -- it takes place within the moment, but it doesn't turn the moment itself into something horrible.
While I am well acquainted with "Wow -- that really sucked," I'm a stranger to, "What a horrible year I had."
Nothing winds up completely until we're dead, right? Maybe we need to reserve judgement until we're looking down from a cloud and jamming on the lyre and the rest of forever is a non-stop ride on a moonbeam surf board.
Well, I have either found something, or I'm a fruitcake.
Sorry so riffy, but it's late and I'm hungry.
"Man, what are you doin' here?"

The Schaffer Replica™ Pedal Version is an SMD format miniaturized version of the TSR, packaged as a stomp box. With full analog circuitry, it is a 1:1 faithful replica, providing the same TSR sound to its user…we hope to be able to keep producing it for quite some time.
The original Schaffer-Vega Diversity System (SVDS) was created by the genius mind of Ken Schaffer in 1975. The landmark wireless system was relied upon for its dependability and beautiful tone by nearly every major touring artist of that era.
The audio circuit of the SVDS caused subtle improvements to the tone of an instrument that caught the attention of some of the greatest guitarists, bassists, and studio engineers of the 70s and 80s. For many it became integral to their signature sound, both live and in the studio.

The Northwest Organization of Nurse Executives (NWONE), representing over 425 nurse leaders including certified nurse educators, Hospital Chief Nursing Executives, CEOs and COOs, academic deans of nursing, and nurse business owners who reside in Oregon, Washington and beyond, is proud to lend its support to HR 3679, the National Nurse Act of 2011. The mission of NWONE, to advance the leadership contribution of nurses in creating health care solutions to serve our communities, is directly aligned with the position of a national nursing leader, national nursing leadership voice, and with the proposed legislation of the National Nurse Act.
HR 3679, introduced on December 15, 2011 by Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30) and co led by Congressman Peter King (NY-3), proposes that Congress designate the USPHS Chief Nurse Officer (CNO) position as the National Nurse for Public Health to serve as a recognizable leader in health promotion and disease prevention, elevate nursing's influence and prominence, better utilize the expertise of nurses, and serve a vital function in our current climate of health care reform. The National Nurse for Public Health would assume the current duties of the CNO andwould provide guidance and conduct media campaigns to promote public health.
Furthermore, as we continue to transform our health systems at the state and national level, it is important that we work to elevate the role of public health nursing to create community level systems, identify public health concerns, and achieve early intervention for identified needs. Our current health care system is based on sick care not health care. A philosophical and cultural shift to focus on wellness at the state and national level that is reinforced by nurses in every community would go a long way in promoting health, reducing costs, and saving lives.
Nurses make key contributions on behalf of the nation's health each and every day. We ask that you support HR 3679, the National Nurse Act of 2011 because it is of critical importance to make sure the voice of nursing continues to be heard at the federal policy table and in the public arena. Thank you for your consideration and please call upon NWONE if we can be of further support as this bill moves forward.
"While our country continues to shift towards a nationwide focus on prevention and promotion, I believe that nurses should be standing in the forefront of this reformation. It is for this reason that I propose that we as a Nation designate a National Nurse for Public Health. The National Nurse would function alongside the Surgeon General and focus on health promotion, improving health literacy, and decreasing health disparities.
National Nurses Week, May 6-12th, is dedicated to acknowledging the hard work, patience, and service that our nurses provide. This year's theme is "Nurses: Caring, Leading, Advocating". Nurses deserve more than one week of recognition for their tireless work in healthcare. To highlight and showcase the extraordinary work that nurses do each and every day, last year I introduced the National Nurse Act of 2011.
This bill elevates the status of the Chief Nurse Officer of the U.S. Public Health Service to bring greater visibility and recognition of the contributions of nurses to the pubic health, health promotion, and disease prevention. While it is the responsibility of every health professional to emphasize wellness, it is nurses who are in the ideal position to deliver these messages. The relationship that nurses have with their patients is truly the cornerstone of every nurse's practice. Nurses are present in every community, in hospitals, clinics, schools, workplaces, and in the military, and they spend more time with patients than any other health professional.
Please do as others already have! Consider posting a link to this article on your Facebook Wall or add a comment at the end of the story. Also, please email it to those who might be interested in learning more about HR 3679, The National Nurse Act of 2011.
Recently, members of the National Nursing Network Organization visited Capitol Hill to educate members of Congress about HR 3679, The National Nurse Act of 2011 . Anne Llewellyn RN-BC, MS, BHSA, CCM, CRRN participated in several meetings and the following are her reactions.
"I learned that even if this bill is a 'no brainer', Representatives want to hear from their constituents before they will sign on and support this legislation. Many people don't believe their individual voice is needed, but it is, and can make or break a project."
"Being in DC…it is the pulse of the country. Also, walking through the halls of the US Congress and seeing the names of all of the Representatives on their doors was exciting as they are all responsible for how our country is being run."
What would you say to another nurse who was considering going on a future trip?
"GO! It is an incredible opportunity to be part of the process."
"The realization that nothing will get done in this Country by the House or Senate until after the Presidential and State elections in November. Everyone is focused on their own re-election which seems like an incredibly lost opportunity since so much work needs to be done in our country."
What was the most challenging part of the visit?
"Hearing that we need to have constituents send in more letter vs. just having the Representative support this simple Bill."
"Having the USPHS Chief Nurse Officer in a full time position of leadership would provide a common sense opportunity to recognize the value nurses across the country can bring in educating and empowering the average consumer to understand the importance of changing behavior to prevent chronic illnesses. Having the Chief Nurse Officer set an agenda that nurses in the community can follow is important for the health of our country."
ADVANCE for Nurses recently published a synopsis of the National Nursing Network Organization's visit to Washington DC. The story, Promoting HR 3679 describes how this group of grassroots nurses traveled to Capitol Hill to lend their support for HR 3679, The National Nurse Act of 2011. Three pictures in addition to the one above accompany this article.
This trip was highly successful and it is hoped that more nurses will consider joining the team in the future.
