"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Lindsay Lohan swung through to Domingo Zapata’s Oscar Art Show to Celebrate her recent positive progress report with the Courts and Judge Stephanie Sautner on Wednesday. And as we all know, she’s definitely following through on her Community Servicing.
The event was held at Mr. C’s Hotel in Beverly Hills, and brought out folks like Stephen Dorff, Jason Segel, Mischa Barton, Jaimie Hilfiger, Tara Reid and Taylor Armstrong. It was also a Mother-Daughter night, where the mothers showed off their works of art, considering Lindsay brought her mama Dina, and Mischa brought her mother Nuala. Beautiful works of Art indeed.
But Lindsay definitely had a reason to go out tonight. Let’s just all give her a pat on the back and say she maybe deserves an outing or two.

The hashtag generated more than 10,000 real-time tweets, and 7,500 of those went to the GoDaddy.com ad, which has been accused of ‘objectifying women and stereotyping programmers.’
Other ads that are being called ‘Sexist’ are the Audi “Prom” ad, because a guy walks up to a girl and kisses her. And the Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Fiat for the “Nice car gets the girl” approach to advertising.

Will Supernatural Demons Run Round the “Uncanny Valley”?August 19th, 2008 by jonathan | Filed under Special Effects.
Supernatural has done an amazing job at special effects that don’t tread into the cheesy. Recently, series creator Eric Kripke stated that they learned their lesson in Wendigo. Anyone who’s seen The Six Million Dollar Man [in 2008, that's Bill Gate's lunch money] fight Bigfoot, or had to sit through a Power Rangers battle against a big rubber villain, knows that good special effects are no easy feat.
Even more challenging is the animation of realistic human faces. It’s a cliché in the CGI world that the more realistic human animation becomes, the less convincing it becomes. Supernatural, whose real charm is its human story uses makeup, and the largely unseen to do its evil bidding. Buffy and Angel of the also-very-human Whedonverse, relied heavily on a crack staff of makeup artists, as well. What if, though, they could create a world of evil, humanoid beasties that pushed the edge but didn’t cost an arm and a leg? What if a human actor could work the magic in front of a video camera, with no sensors pasted on the face, and have the computer generate a realistic demon, bigfoot, or wendigo?
Image-Metrics seems to have an answer to that question. It may be some time before the really good stuff becomes available –2020?- but its use in television and film, and, even more, in video games, could make for some incredible results!
Check out this demo of “Emily”. At the end, you’ll see the real actress, but the rest is all computer generated.
Impressive, eh?
Would this be useful technology for shows like Supernatural? Leave your comments, and let’s hear what you think!

Pretty cool.
I think SPN did a great job w/ Wendigo, though. Perhaps BECAUSE they used a real man for the part. It didn’t look “forced” the way so many computer animated horror-villains look anymore.

-Back When I Used To Think Pink Was Light Skinned.
Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?
-Back When I Used To Think Pink Was Light Skinned.
Pink
my song
Love P!nk back then and still love her now.
Don’t you wish you could turn the hands of time Don’t you wish you still were mine Don’t you wish I’d take you back...
There you Go
The moment LA Reid knew she was from Philadelphia there was a light bulb above his head and dollar signs in his eyes.
This version of P!nk is just as fake and manufactured as any teen pop starlet you can think of. (Britney, Miley,...
“Sometimes it be’s like that” is one of my most commonly used phrases.
i really did think Pink was black when I was younger or at least partially but she slowly rewhite-ified over the years.

Is there a method or a tool that can detect if someone has separated my hard disk from my computer, copied data from it, and returned it back?
I want to be sure that no one has done this without my knowledge, but I'm not sure how to this.
Deep freeze
The use of deep freeze is irrelevant in this situation.
If they are semi competent, they will use a read only interface.
The last access timestamp will only be changed if they are using a read and write interface. Turning off the write interface is trivial. This is what forensics does. They never put an original drive in a read/write interface. Always in a read only. Then they make a working copy. All without altering a single bit on the original drive.
Your best bet is using a disk encryption like Bitlocker or TrueCrypt.
edit:
thanks alot, but could you clarify more what you mean by read and write interface please??
thanks alot, but could you clarify more what you mean by read and write interface please??
Devices like these . . .
They physically block write access to a drive. Often used in forensics/HD recovery for legal and practical reason, like the Amanda Knox case.
dd if=/dev/sdx of=out.img
Everyone seems to be going for full disc encryption, which certainly has its merits for securing your data but doesn't address the question of telling if someone's been in your machine and monkeying with your hard drive.
For that simple task, find a pack of the irritatingly sticky plain labels which, once stuck, tear instead of coming off cleanly, sign your name on it and stick it over one of the screws holding your hdd in place (don't forget to clean the dust off first for a good bond). Not quite on the same scale as the manufacturers tamper evident seals but should prove sufficient to prevent anyone removing the hard drive without your knowledge. This means they either have to break the label which alerts you to the fact, or pull the wires out of the hard drive then mount it on a laptop, forcing them to to spend more time with your case open looking very suspicious!
Also its worth checking the back of your pc for a padlock attachment point, simple, fairly secure and effective.
Neither makes it impossible to get at your data but both add a significant level of inconvenience and force the attacker to either act overtly (ripping labels and bolt cutters to the padlock) or spend a lot more time monkeying with your pc and at risk of detection.
To discover tampering at a physical level, you could use something like Torque Seal on your drive's mounting hardware or the data cable connection. It is a lacquer that dries brittle so any tampering will crack and break the glob you installed on the hardware. It's used to make sure things like nuts and bolts on helicopters haven't moved and are still torqued to spec.
S.M.A.R.T. attributes may help in determining if the disk has been tampered with between two intervals. These attributes, on Linux, can be queried with "smartctl -a /dev/sda".
The simplest attribute for that is probably Power_Cycle_Count. When you power up the computer, this will be one more than the value when it was last shut down. So, by remembering this value before you shut down, and checking it when you power up next time, you can determine if the disk has been powered up in between.
Just a thought..maybe S.M.A.R.T.(if available) contains some information that can be used.
Unless you can remember exactly how things were placed within your computer prior to the suspected intrusion (a photographic memory, or a photograph, are two such tools that immediately come to mind), it will be very difficult to know if your hard drive was removed from your computer.
Note: Chassis intrusion features can usually be circumvented, so this may not be the most reliable method either although it can be helpful.
Chances are that an intruder who knows how to do this may also be smart enough not to modify your disk in any way, and either just copy only the files they want/need, or copy the disk in its entirety so they can "snoop around" at their leisure at some later time.
The bottom line is that if you're truly concerned about someone accessing your hard drive, you have to be preventive. If physically removing your computer away from the danger is not a viable option, then encryption works very well; this is my favourite disk encryption tool:
TrueCrypt (free and open source)
What I particularly like about this tool is that there's no built-in backdoor, so even a court order won't get it decrypted if you've taken the right steps to protect the encryption key.
How this tool is relevant to your situation:
If your hard drive is encrypted, and the intruder removes it from your computer for the purpose of accessing your data, they will only find encrypted data (and, initially, the Operating System will most likely detect it as an "uninitialized disk") that simply looks like random information to just about everyone.
The two ways the intruder may gain access to your data is:
A "lucky guess" at your password (so pick a good one that's difficult to guess, even with a brute force attacking tool) or key (highly unlikely, although not completely impossible)
You provided a copy of your password or key to the intruder (intentionally or unintentionally)
With your average home computer (no special physical security), when the machine is shutdown, there is no trace left of activities done with the hardware.
If the disk is removed and mounted read-only, it would be very difficult to identify this was done using any software.
The only thing that comes to mind is, if the disk was writeable during such an activity, and the host OS ended up updating timestamps on the disk (files, directories) you might be able to detect that the disk was physically accessed outside your system.
This comes with various other caveats like, the other system also had its time set correctly (a reasonable expectation if the user did not think of a read-only mount) and you know the time-window when your system was expected to be powered-down (hence, access times in that window are suspect).
For such data to be usable, you must mount the disk without write access while your 'forensics' is not done. You might then be able to read the access times of individual files and directories to identify what was looked at (read or copied out).
Now, if this is for a future possibility of data-theft, it would be tons easier to plan ahead -- just encrypt all your critical data.
I'm pessimistic about prevention from reading the drive, and telling, if somebody did, so I would advice to use encryption too. You still don't know whether somebody did copy the encrypted data, but if he did, it is hard to break (hope so).
Now is the attacker clever, informed, does he have time, equipment and money? A simple trick, which will not work, if the bad guy is reading here, would be to stick a hair, which is hard to see, and easy to break, to your drive and the chassis, best: across the data cable.
Now if somebody removes the drive, he will break the hair without mentioning it. Except he read this advice, and acts very carefully.
If he is very well equiped, but you are too, you can take a hair which you perform a DNA-test on. You don't say whoms hair it is. The intruder might replace the hair with a random one, but can't replace it with a hair of the right DNA. But maybe he knows how to glue a broken hair together? Or he knows how to dissolve the glue? :)
Many new computers allow password-protecting the hard drive itself. It would be a BIOS setting. The protection is enforced through the drive's electronics, so access would be denied on another machine.
Keep in mind that encryption, though a good idea if you need to do it, also would prevent you from being able to recover from many computer problems. And if the hard drive started to fail, you could never recover your files from an encrypted disk. So make sure that you have good backups. And a disk image of an encrypted disk is still encrypted and can be restored to a new drive if necessary.
Windows built-in EFS (Encrypting File System) can be used for individual files and folders. And the free Windows BitLocker encryption tool can encrypt a whole drive.
Are we not we simply skirting the real issue here?
Like a new born child, we should NEVER leave our PC alone in an open accessible area! Where is your notebook now? Security starts with us and not after the fact.
Personal data comes with a degree of paranoia. If you leave it on your system then you are afraid that it may be stolen. If your data is that critical, then, as soon as you create/acquire it, remove it to a secure storage device, aka an encrypted SD flash device. This device can then be with you at all times.
Current computer technology will not detect the tampering of the data on a physical storage device. It is this lack of security that permits PC technicians like my self to salvage user data in the event of virus/malware damage. When in the future storage devices are embedded with a running security program, then the device itself will know when it has been tampered with.
Simply take responsibly for your data! If you permit someone access, then you cannot complain if it is exploited!
As a direct answer to the posted question; as of today, NO, it is not possible to determine if someone has removed and simply copied your files.
Thank you all for listening.

This topic explains how to use the API Management page in the Video Cloud Studio to view and copy your Media API tokens.
When you use the Video Cloud Media API, your method calls require a token. Tokens are issued to accounts by Video Cloud and give you access to your account using the API. You append your token to the call as a URL parameter,
token=<tokenString>, where
tokenString is your URL-encoded token.
Note: Media API tokens generally end with one or more dots (.). Be sure to include the dots when you use the API tokens—it's easy to lose them when you cut and paste.
If you're not already familiar with API tokens, read Getting Started with the Media API. The Media API is not available to Video Cloud Express Plan I or II publishers; read tokens for the Media API are available to Video Cloud Express Plan III publishers, and the full Media API is available to Video Cloud Pro and Enterprise publishers.
In this topic, you will learn about:
There are several types of tokens:
A read token and a read token with URL access were automatically generated for you when your account was created. The Video Cloud Studio displays your account's tokens (see Managing your tokens). Video Cloud Pro or Enterprise publishers can also create their own tokens.
Note that if your account was created before the Brightcove 3.3.2 release (August 27, 2009), tokens were not automatically created with your account. If you are a Video Cloud Pro or Enterprise publisher, you can create your own tokens, as described in the section in this topic, Creating a token. For other circumstances, contact Brightcove customer support.
You can manage the Media API tokens for your account on the Account Settings: API Management page in the Video Cloud Studio. To get to this page:
You can:
Video Cloud Pro and Enterprise publishers can have up to 6 Read tokens and up to 3 Write tokens and can use the Video Cloud Studio API Management page to create new tokens. Video Cloud Express Plan III publishers can have 2 Read tokens and can delete an existing Read token and create a new one.
To create a new token for your account:
If you require additional tokens, contact Brightcove customer support.

TurboSquid
posted this on May 25, 2011 08:41
TurboSquid has partnered with amanaimages, Japan’s leading seller of stock photography. The partnership opens up the opportunity for members of the SquidGuild Network to distribute their 3D models to the rich but largely untapped market in Asia.
Japan has the world's 3rd largest GDP and a huge amount of 3D production, however sales to Japanese customers account for a tiny percentage of the revenue that TurboSquid receives. This is largely due to the language and cultural differences when operating in the Japanese market. Japanese customers, like American customers and those of other cultures, prefer to buy from a website in their own language, with customer support in their language, localized payment methods and the billing cycles that they are accustomed to. In no other country are the differences so strong and the opportunity so large as in Japan.
For those reasons, TurboSquid partnered with a Japanese company that will sell our artists' products to this largely untapped market. Our partner has taken all the descriptions and thumbnails for all priced 3D models and textures by SquidGuild artists and has translated them into their own Japanese website. They will provide a large sales force and a full support team to handle all sales. We've worked with them over the last few months to setup this distribution process and integration into our sales and royalty payments process.
Royalty rates for TurboSquid and artists will be slightly lower (see below) , but artists are given the ability to opt-out of selling on the amanaimages site if they do not wish to be a part of the program.
We created this partnership because TurboSquid believes new Japanese customers will begin purchasing stock 3D models and textures. To participate, you must be in the SquidGuild and keep the opt-in set to on. In case you would not like to participate for any reason, we've made opting out as simple as possible.
You will be able to identify amanaimages sales from the monthly sales detail report. From here amana will be identified in the source column. Please note that the price will also reflect the payment difference from the amanaimages sale.
If you wish to opt out and no longer sell your content on amanaimages, you simply need to go to your dashboard and click on Edit SquidGuild Network Settings. You would then uncheck the amanaimages box and save your changes.

In 1860, the Legislature of Tennessee incorporated the Energetic Insurance Company of Nashville, with a proviso in the charter limiting its taxation to one quarter of one per cent on its capital stock. In 1870, a new constitution was adopted by the state, forbidding such limitation. In 1884, the surviving corporators of the Energetic Insurance Company, which had not then been organized, met and organized the company under that name. In 1885, the name of the company was changed by legislative act to Planters' Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and it was authorized to remove its sites to Memphis, which it did, and increased its capital stock. Since that time, it has regularly paid its taxes at the rate named in the act of 1860. In a suit to recover taxes at the regular tax rate, which was in excess of the statutory limitation, held that the organization of the corporation having been made subsequently to the adoption of the Constitution of 1870 and of its coming into force, the corporation was subject to the provisions of that instrument regulating taxation. treasurer one percent.

Mayo —
College student Mary Thomas (Hart) of Mayo had the opportunity to study abroad for four months in Ireland recently and she eagerly shared some of her most exciting moments in a pictorial travelogue.
Thomas is a junior at Berry College, a comprehensive liberal arts university with Christian values located in northwest Georgia near the city of Rome. Thomas said there are currently 2,000 students enrolled there and about 45 percent of those students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
“When she was looking for colleges, she knew she wanted to study abroad, so that was one question she was asking,” her mother Jana Hart explained.
“Last semester I studied abroad in Ireland with a program called American Institute of Foreign Study and I was in a group of 26 students from all over the country,” said Hart. “People from Florida, Texas, California, all the way up to New York.”
The first day of her adventure was when all these students met up in London, England and she made certain to get photos of herself in front of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Bridge while touring the city for two days.
Next stop Ireland!
“We were all on the plane and we were super giddy and excited,” she said.
Out the windows of the plane she said they could see the green grass, the rolling hills and the stone walls, typical of the area. Once they landed it was off to the city of Limerick. Although tired and sleepy and suffering from jet lag, Thomas said, the scenery breathed new life into all of them.
The University of Limerick, where she spent five days a week in class, was built in the 70s and Thomas said most of the architecture there is very modern. She was housed in a campus apartment with seven other students, two Americans, four Irish students and one student from China.
“It was a lot of diversity,” she said. “I got to meet a lot of people.”
Unlike here in the States, in Ireland, Thomas said parents pay for their children to go to elementary and high school and then college is free to attend, paid for by the government.
Because of Thomas’ southern accent and the Irish accent of the students from Ireland, even though they all spoke English, Thomas said it was difficult at first for them to understand each other.
Thomas said she was impressed with the farmer’s markets in town and the fact everything was so fresh, including the fish and dairy products.
“Instead of going to grocery stores, most people do their shopping at a farmer’s market, if they don’t farm themselves,” she said.
A lot of the trips to the different places in the country were included in the tuition. In her free time on the weekends is when she got to go out and explore other notable places. When she made it over to the western part of the country she said she was finally able to see the real Ireland with the castles, the cliffs overhanging the Atlantic Ocean, and all the typical stonework that is used in place of metal or wooden fences.
One of the highlights of her tour through the country was when she got to kiss the blarney stone at the Blarney Castle in the town of Cork, which was built in 1446. The blarney stone, she said, is four stories up and it hangs out over the ground below. Thomas said kissing the blarney stone will bring you good luck, but legend has it that if you are able to kiss the blarney stone it will bring you the gift of gab or great eloquence or skill at flattery. In a country where colorful tales tend to grow as naturally as the green, green grass, kissing the blarney stone could mean any number of things.
Thomas was able to take a weekend trip over to Edinburgh, Scotland and she said she saw more castles and visited a wildlife park where she was introduced to many different free roaming animals, including kangaroos, zebras, giraffes and Meerkats, her new, favorite animal.
During exam week, Thomas made it over to Italy and was able to spend four days there being a tourist. She was thoroughly impressed with Rome, the “Eternal City”.
“On Sundays and Wednesdays the Pope comes out and blesses the crowd at the Vatican,” she said. “It is so cool to say he blessed me.”
The famous Colosseum was worthy of an all day visit, Thomas said, even though she hadn’t planned on spending all day there.
“It was mind-blowing how huge it is and just the history,” she said. “I’ve never been so in awe.”
Studying abroad, she said, was a fantastic experience. When asked if she had plans to continue studying abroad, Thomas said she would like to return to Italy, rent a car and just drive around and take in all the sights and the history.
For now, it is back to Rome, Ga. to continue her education at Berry College.

Handling
In the beginning of 1980, while I was recuperating from having gone through the windshield of a motor home, I would fly to certain shows to see Bob & Jean and of course to see Kate show. When all of my surgeries were done and I received the okay from the doctors, I started showing dogs. I had a couple of poodle clients; I also showed Border Terriers, Wheaton Terriers, German Shorthaired Pointers, and Boxers.
It was when I started showing more and more poodles that I would be in the ring with the other breeds thinking, "I wonder if they are spraying up the poodles." We kept showing more and more poodles so I stopped showing the other breeds; it was just too hard to be in the ring and also have to get the poodles ready.
We have finished a lot of Poodles and dogs of other breeds, I have had many BIS poodles, and now we are showing some French Bulldogs again. I have taught several people how to scissor and show dogs and I have had a lot of help in the past.
Right now I have a great crew, they know what I want and just like anything else, they question me sometimes. But you know they are good when the dogs like them as much as they like you. I give a lot of credit to them for being there for me and all of their help: Lori Logli, Kristen Gerdesmeier, Holly Corbett, and Dani Gerdesmeier. They all have other jobs and Kristen is in school for pharmacy, so they are very much appreciated for their time and assistance.

K Vegetables.
Filipinos are known for their fatty and fried foods. But there's more to Filipino cuisine to just lechon and chicharon. We love to eat vegetables. We also love seafood since the Philippines is made up of more than seven thousand islands, we are surrounded by ocean.
I chose to make Pinakbet. This dish is a popular vegetable dish and is usually made up of bitter melon, okra, eggplant and fermented fish sauce. I rarely have this but when I do, I love all the different vegetables that go in this dish. The bitter melon and okra (lady fingers) are vegetables I rarely eat unless it's in this dish. This is my mum's recipe and she makes it all the time. Needless to say, whenever I crave this, I just go over to her place to enjoy.
1/4 pumpkin (500g) cubed
1 bunch snake beans cut into 5cm batons
5 lady fingers, topped and tailed
1 bitter melon, halved then sliced into 3-4cm thickness. Soak in salted water for 10-15mins
1 onion, chopped
4-5 small eggplants, cut into quarter's lengthwise
1 tomato, large dice
1 knob of ginger, julienned
1/4 cup anchovy sauce (bagoong balayan)
100g pork, diced (optional)
100g raw prawns (optional)
1. In a large pot, saute the onion, garlic and ginger until transparent.
2. Add the tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. If adding pork, add and simmer until cooked a little
4. Add the snake beans. Stir.
5. Add the anchovy sauce that has been mixed with 1/4 cup of water
6. Add the rest of the vegetables
7. Add enough water just to cover (about 1 cup)
8. Add the prawns
9. Simmer until vegetables are cooked through.
10. Serve with steamed rice and a piece of fried fish.

Bon Appetite,

Loving your food styling as of late!
I should really do more posts on my heritage too! Mum is going to bring me back some cookbooks from Malaysia :) and I have some IN French... must translate them!
x
I love Pinakbet with lots of bagoong especially with either crispy-fried tilapia or GG. You got the right combo there Cherrie! Thanks for sharing.
@Shellie, thanks Babe! Please post Malaysian dishes. One of my fav cuisines!
@Ray, thanks. I love it with lots of Bagoong too. yum!
Glad you featured pinakbet, a Filipino vegetable dish... I have to cook that for my family (shh.. we are not veggie peeps haha!)
Thanks for sharing Cherrie... glad you still made KCC for March.
@Malou, thanks. I admit, I need to eat my vegies too.
Nothing beats fried fish with pinakbet=) Super tlagang match made in heaven!
Yum, yum, yum! I love this dish because of the ampalaya and okra!
NOOOOMMMMM!! This looks sooooo good!!! It reminds me of the Indonesian lodeh!! But looks sooo good.. oh wait I said that already :P
This looks so delicious. I love bitter melon and okra but we rarely eat it as it is not always available and is a bit pricey. Love the crisp fried fish that goes with it. Yum!
that looks really good cherrie! i love pinakbet. actually it's one of those veggie dishes i eat (you know how hard it is for Filipinos to eat veggies :D). and i also like that you had fish with it. bagoong for the win! :)
I love pinakbet with bagoong isda! Great job!
Pinakbet is my favorite Filipino dish. Period. It goes great with bagoong.
I will admit that pinakbet is not a favorite of mine, but I do enjoy looking at your pretty pictures. Looks good enough to eat, even for us non-bitter melon fans.
Ohh My dad used to make it all the time.
I remember one time when my Filipino friends invited me to this Filipino restaurant and they wanted to me try this dish together with what they call shrimp paste. It was one of the weirdest yet fulfilling time of the life. It stated really great. This one's a knockout!

Dozens burnt to death in Kenya pipeline explosionTuesday, September 13th, 2011
12 September 2011, Sweetcrude, Nairobi- At least 75 people were killed and more than 100 injured when a leaking petrol pipeline exploded in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, turning part of the city slum into an inferno.
Flames leapt 300 yards from the pipeline, setting shacks ablaze and incinerating scores of people. Reporters saw clusters of charred bodies and blackened bones at the site. Some burnt bodies floated in a river.
“I’ve lost count of the number of bodies,” said Wilfred Mbithi, a policeman. “Many had dived into the river trying to put out their flames.” Residents said the river caught fire after fuel leaked into it. Homes had been built next to the pipeline, they said.
Joseph Mwangi, 34, said he was feeding his cow when people went running past him, calling out that there was a leak in the pipeline.
Others started drawing fuel and he was going to fetch a bucket to get fuel too when he heard an explosion. Moments later, Mr Mwangi discovered two small charred bodies in the burnt wreckage of his home. “Those were my children,” he said, collapsing on the ground sobbing.
At the time of the explosion, the narrow, twisting alleyways were packed with people on their way to work or school. The flimsy homes of corrugated iron sheets would have offered little resistance to the blast.
The Red Cross was conducting search and rescue operations and had set up two tents for first aid and counselling. At least 112 burn victims were taken to Kenyatta National Hospital. Many children were among the victims, said Richard Lisiyampe, the head of the hospital. Most had burns covering more than a third of their bodies, he said. Some were unrecognisable, said St John Ambulance spokesman Fred Majiwa.
The cause of the explosion is unclear. The pipeline is operated by the Kenya Pipeline Company.

For more details on Microsoft Dynamics visit: Microsoft Dynamics Overview
Demo virtual machine can be downloaded from the following location.
The virtual machine has Num Lock key enabled by default, which requires the user to manually disable everytime VM starts.
To disable the Num Lock permanently go to the registry [regedit] and navigate to [Hkey_Current_User\Control Panel\Keyboard] and change the [InitialKeyboardIndcators] key to '0'.
If the above step does not work as often when rebooting machine registry key is reverted back to original state, to fix this the other way is using standard Windows command go to [Start\All programs\Accessories\Accessibility\On-Screen Keyboard] and then un-check the 'nlk' key.

This week I’ve begun working in my yard; it may be good exercise but it is NOT fun. My front yard, back yard and side yards are jam-packed with leaves that fell last fall.
I should have raked them in October, gathered them up and deposited them into see-through garbage bags for the sanitation department to pick up and haul away, but I rarely ever do what I should. Leaf-raking is no exception.
So now I’m staring at huge mounds of leaves, covering not only the moss that grows on my property (instead of lovely green grass that most lawns boast), but my flower beds, too. And since Spring has arrived early in Atlantic Canada this year, I know that underneath the
carpet of soggy, moldy leaves there are plants trying their best to reach for the sun.
Plants deserve better than that, so I decided it was time to gather up the leaves and let the flowers and bushes pop their little heads out of the soil, shake off any remaining remnants of winter’s chilling frost, and grow into the mature plants they were meant to be.
If only it was as easy as I make it sound. Gather up the leaves, deposit them neatly into garbage/leaf bags and drag them to the curb to await pick-up.
Nothing is as easy as it sounds.
For one thing, ‘gather up the leaves’ really means ‘don my gardening gloves, bend my back and lock my knees, and rake, rake, rake until I have huge piles of leaves scattered around my yard, then bend my back even more and scoop the leaves up with my hands and/or rake and stuff them into a bag’.
The leaves, mind you, don’t want to go quietly into the dark night; they stiffen up like a child who doesn’t want to be carried to bed, and they puff out their dried up veins until they are too big to squish into the now seemingly minuscule plastic bag. But I persevere.
I push and I push and I push, jamming those d*&$ leaves into the clear plastic bags until they succumb to their fate. It is not a happy time for any of us.
Now,several days later, I’ve still not managed to deposit all the leaves into their new containers. I’ve walked around my yard, I’ve picked up dead branches that blew off the trees in a February storm, I’ve made a trip to the local hardware store to buy a metal bag-holder so that I won’t have to contort my torso into gymnastic-like poses in order to pick up the leaves and deposit them into the garbage bags, and I’ve contemplated a future without millions of leaves in my yard. But I haven’t disposed of the leaves.
I will; I promise. One day soon, before this coming fall covers my lawn with an entire new crop of nature’s colorful dandruff.
Today when I came home from my second trip to the golf driving range (see previous post Bruised and Battered) I meandered around my front yard, scouring the landscape for new signs of life after winter.
And guess what I found? Tiny crocuses, stretching their necks to the sun, happy and content to have shed their winter blanket of leaves and snow. I took their picture, a reminder for me that life can spring forth from seemingly barren earth, that perhaps it is worth my while to finish raking the leaves in my yard.
I can only hope to finish my leaf-raking before the dreaded mosquitoes also figure out that Spring has arrived early this year! Because once they realize that, they will once again take over my yard and I will have to disappear into my home to hide until fall arrives…and then, of course, I’ll have even MORE leaves to rake…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Make that “thought” I’d drop by….lousy typist that I am!
Hi! Enjoying your blog! I often see you on Ginger’s comments so I thiught I’d drop by!
Oh, Sylvia, I so wish we lived closer so we could “do lunch!” A house I used to live in had huge maple trees. I so loved the shade of those trees until fall when the “shade” was brown on the ground. It would take 40 of those huge leaf bags to clear my lawn. I hated that job even when I was young enough to force myself to do it ~ then I realized other people had money hungry adolescents living under their roofs for a reason!
Your description of those “who would not go quietly into that good night” was nothing short of literary-ily brilliant. Look at it this way, if there is moisture in those leaves (we’re dealing with fire danger right now) those piles will breed the dreaded M pest you mentioned. The M’s are already in Maine, as are ticks. Good luck!

Yahoo Axis – A search browser alternative to Google
Yahoo used to be the coolest tech company around, now they are losing the search engine wars badly against Google and Bing, can they get back into the game with their latest product, Yahoo Axis?
Yahoo Axis is available for desktops (PC and MAC), the Ipad and the Iphone, a search made on the desktop computer can be continued on an Iphone. All bookmarks and read later lists are also synced between the different devices. Yahoo Axis is lacking apps for Android and Windows Phone, which hopefully will be brought to the table shortly.
On the desktop Yahoo Axis is downloaded as an extension to an already existing browser, such as Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer 9. When Axis was released there a security issue with the Chrome extension, this has since then been fixed by Yahoo. Some blogs reported that Internet Explorer 9 and other browsers were slowed down when surfing the web, it was noticeable in IE 9 but not any of the other browsers, even-though the extension itself sometimes took a while to load it didn't affect the performance of the browser. The general behavior of the extension in Google Chrome was also a bit awkward, sometimes it opened, sometimes it didn't.
The Ipad/Iphone apps is really where this product comes to real usage, the interface in Yahoo Axis is perfect for cell phones and tablets. For example Axis shows more relevant info about a website before loading it, making it much easier to use on the Iphone than Safari, which relies on Google who basically have the same layout as on the desktop.
The sync between devices works well, for example it is simple to research something on the desktop and then continue on a mobile device on the go. Yahoo Axis has support for Google and Facebook-accounts, so a Yahoo account is not needed just to use this product.
Yahoo Axis has a home-screen with a list of bookmarks and read-it later items. Adding bookmarks was no problem but adding sites to the read-later list was sometimes a struggle, for example we I added an article in Wired to read-it later, but it didn't show up.
When searching long tail keywords Yahoo Axis is not that powerful as Google, it simply doesn't find the in-depth stuff that Google do, and even if it does it's still hard to tell from the results which hits are good and which aren't. Searches in other languages than English returns mixed results, it's not uncommon for Yahoo Axis to mix different languages in its results (for example Norwegian and Spanish). The search engine used as with all Yahoo products is Microsoft Bing.
Axis handles the standard searches such as text and images just fine, but it lacks news and video search making it difficult to use as a sole search engine, Yahoo says that they will add additional options over time.
Yahoo Axis is a good concept, and has the perfect timing, it is however too bad that the browser extensions for browsers need some polishing. As Google is getting more comfortable in their total ownage of the search market, and seem to be focusing on Android and driver-less cars, the field is open again for innovation products, such as Yahoo Axis.

I'm shocked:
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) has asked the Obama administration to explain why a member of a known terrorist group was allowed to enter the United States last week and participate in high-level meetings at the White House and State Department.Obama had ANOTHER terrorist in his office last week. Why is this no longer shocking?
Keep trying to cover for this fucker trolls....he's gonna be the end of this country and you will be the first fuckers in the showers.

As governments across Latin America prepare to implement a new financial mechanism aimed at mitigating climate change by curbing carbon emissions from the destruction of tropical forests, experts have warned against a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Instead, they are calling for flexible, balanced solutions to the surrounding this new mechanism.
Among the experts’ main concerns are that the wealthy and powerful could capture many of the benefits, largely at the expense of rural communities, including indigenous groups.
Organised by Mexico’s National Forestry Commission and the Swiss government, with scientific support from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), a recent conference’s findings and recommendations will be feed into a UN Forum on Forests (UNFF) meeting scheduled to take place in early 2011, marking the launch of the International Year of Forests.
The Mexico gathering brought together scientists, as well as representatives of governments and non-government organisations, for discussions on governance, decentralisation and REDD+ in Latin America.
Under REDD+ (for reducing deforestation and forest degradation), industrialised countries will provide developing nations with sizeable sums of money in exchange for verifiable storage of carbon in forests, in addition to the conservation and sustainable management of forests.
Forest destruction currently accounts for up to 18% CIFOR scientist.

The English countryside’s “hideously white” nature is awkward but undeniable, with ethnic minorities estimated at around 1.4% of the rural population. As The Independent’s Matthew Norman noted regretfully:
“etween town and country, there is a colossal disconnection. As anyone who flits between them cannot fail to appreciate, there are two Englands, unbridged by suburbia and divided by a common language.”
This worries the kind of people who feel worried for a living and get paid to make other people worry. In 1992, the Commission for Racial Equality published a report called Keep Them in Birmingham which unsurprisingly painted “a disturbing picture.” Equally disturbing artworks have since been produced by the likes of the Observer, New Statesman, and Leicester University. The last remarked that:
“[T]he rural was also often referred to as being the embodiment of ‘Englishness’.”
…which evokes the often chortled-at 1924 romanticizing of Stanley Baldwin…
“To me, England is the country, and the country is England.”
True-May committed heresy by saying he likes rural England exactly as it is.
‘Race rows’ are usually followed by ritualized abasements, agreed to by the transgressor in the hope that he may one day retake his place in the hypersensitive host. True-May’s sins are venial as well as venal, down to his “borderline comb-over” hairstyle which—damningly—“bespeaks a buffer.” But even Matthew Norman acknowledges kindly that True-May seems “dim rather than malevolent.” So there may be a comeback, although that will depend on whether he backtracks, what control he retains over the highly lucrative franchise, and whether (or when) a token thespian of color can be shoehorned into a plot.
Yet even bringing in a black character would need to be done with great sensitivity. The Independent’s Tom Peck is mightily afeared:
“Jason Hughes, who plays DS Ben Jones, didn’t help matters yesterday with his response to True-May’s comments, which themselves seemed to stereotype the role a minority actor would play. ‘I don’t think we would all suddenly go: “A black gardener in Midsomer? You can’t have that!” I think we’d all go: “Great, fantastic!”’”
True-May’s career is poised on a plough edge, but so far Matthew Norman doesn’t think he should be sacked, nor do other great thinkers such as the Guardian’s Hugh Muir, however much he detests this “phonetically refined Alf Garnett.”
The Daily Mirror cites a survey which shows that Midsomer is “strikingly unpopular” among minorities—which, to the neurotically inclined, means that the show (and by implication all rural England) is increasingly irrelevant. As Runnymede Trust rent-a-quote Bob Berkeley said almost angrily:
“[T]o claim that the English village is purely white is no longer true and not a reflection of our society….”
What he and all the other Afro-Saxon activists can’t stomach is that that is exactly why so many people love Midsomer. It seems the English should enjoy their killings while they can.

Back in the early 80’s, if I was out sick from school, I would often watch PBS during the morning. They had educational programs that were better than some of the reruns that were on.
There was never any schedule of what was shown. You would just tune in and have to wait to see what was next.
When there was one intro, I was always very happy.
THINK ABOUT. That still stands as one of my favorite theme songs. Just writing this I’ve had to play it back five or six times.
The show that followed was normally about someone involved in some moral dilemma. At the end, he would have to figure out what to do.
It was meant to show in classrooms and then the students would discuss what happened. It aired from the late 70’s to early 80’s.
THINK ABOUT was produced by the Educational Film Center, the Northern Virginia Educational Telecommunications Association and The Agency for Instructional Television. Exxon funded it as well. So, it was all propaganda. But it worked.
In fact, I’m sure if it was around today, the next generation would be better off. It is certainly better than HANNAH MONTANA or THE WIGGLES. What do kids learn from them? (I’m starting to sound old).
Here is the closing theme.
I would love this, and other PBS shows so much, that I would often prolong my illness so I could stay home and watch the next day.
There were two other similar shows, INSIDE OUT and TRADE OFFS. Both are worthy of their own entry in this series, but there are no clips on YouTube.
EDIT (5-15-10): I just found this video for INSIDE OUT.

FORGOTTEN TV: THINK ABOUT (1970's - 1980's)

I don't know, the music is pretty creepy to me. Seems like something David Cronenberg would use in one of his films.
Jim, I'm not sure if we are the same age, but do you remember a show called Alphabet Soup? That was such a strange show when I was a kid. Haven't been able to dig it up. Maybe just a figment of my feverish imagination as I was no doubt home sick watching it as well.
I don't think I watched it but I found this about ALPHABET SOUP.
Man the things you said about thinkabout, inside/out, and trade-offs they bring back a lot of memories and when I was sick I use to wait to see if they would come on too. I agree with what you said 100%. I wish the would put them out on DVD. I miss those day with heartfelt feelings.
Wow, does that open a low flood gate of memories. Yes, I too can remember sitting up in bed with a thermometer sticking out of my mouth watching these shows in the middle of the day. It was kind of a guilty pleasure. But maybe we were just being "tricked" into getting our education, even outside the classroom. For some reason the even more memorable theme song for TRADE OFFS pops into my head every once in a while. No citation of that on YouTube, unfortunately. Almost as if it were just a figment of our collective imaginations...
My 6th grade "economics" class teacher would sometimes wheel out one of those prehistoric carts with a mounted TV/VHS (or was it Beta) and actually show us episodes of TRADE OFFS. Come to think of it, the vice principal used that strategy for after school detentions, too.
This is sooo cool. I am 39 and I remember Think About. We watched it in 5th grade I believe it was. The music rocked and it was so cool to watch it when home sick from school. Age sucks! :-)

I think there is a customer base that actively like smooth ales, so I'm not at all sure they sit entirely at the commodity undiscerning end of the market. Though CAMRA may like to think so. People that choose it over other beers. Mainly older gentleman, I suspect. Though a sector in decline it is only recently that cask ale has overtook it. John Smiths is a volume brand compared to any cask ale you can mention. Never figured out why. Regular canned bitter is okay, the foamy widget stuff is quite nasty. A mixture of Dettol and shaving foam might be an adequate substitute for those upset by the move.
I've seen people walk up to the bar in pubs and ask if they had any smooth, so some must actively prefer it over cask. As Cookie said, mostly middle-aged and elderly blokes.
"The cask version - if you are unlucky enough to come across it ..."
Hey now, I've come across it and drunk it, and consider myself lucky for having done so. Palate training!
(Cookie, your writing's slipping.)
is that simulation game advertised about John Smith Smoothflow simulating a beer.
I guess when cask was in decline smooth beers like John Smiths and Tetley's, being keg, were the only consistently reliable alternatives. I certainly remember buying both regularly as a student when dragged into pubs that either had no cask or where I knew the quality would be questionable.
Many people will have switched to these smooth beers at the time and are clearly happy enough to continue drinking them despite the recovery of cask, not to mention the recent influx of (dare I say it?) craft keg beers available.
Smooth beers were originally developed in the mid-90s at least partially as a way of making keg look and feel more like cask, with a thick creamy head and no obvious fizziness.
Curmudgeon - "Smooth beers were originally developed in the mid-90s at least partially as a way of making keg look and feel more like cask, with a thick creamy head and no obvious fizziness." ...... and no obvious taste??
ps. Who said cask needs a "thick creamy head"? It certainly doesn't where I come from!
There will always be a market for the lower end of the market, but a flavoursome decent beer at low-to-mid strength will always be preferred over "smooth"..
Completely agree about thew lager sector -the next big game hunting ground.
It's sad really, policy is making a product change , what would happen if policy made the taste of Marmite or Coca Cola change. I used to like a pint of Old Speckled Hen and then that got ruined, why can't people come up with more inventive ways of changing things?
I don't doubt that there are some adherents of nitro beer, but the beers themselves tend to be sold at low end establishments.
And Neville. Stop watering our beer then please.
We will have to see whether cooking lager brands take a dip. Over the years Carlsberg has been lower than its current 3.8 but at one point it was 4.2 Carling was 4.2 a few years back then dipped to 4. The wifebeaters have already dipped to 4.8, I guess we will wait and see.
It's all about brand management and currently big brewers care about there volume lager brands and are extending them into 2%, 2.8%, 4.7% versions of Carling so why alter the main product?
Heineken have spent to long rebuilding their core brand to make it anything other than the authentic import. They consider John Smiths smooth as a declining brand to cash cow. Wouldn't be surprised if Fosters was in that category too.
I thought the £6.6m figure seemed high for such a small reduction in ABV, so I checked the sums.
The rate of beer duty is currently £19.51 per point of ABV per hectolitre.
Duty per hectolitre at 3.8%: £74.138
Duty per hectolitre at 3.6%: £70.236
So the saving pro hectolitre is £3.90 (around tuppence a pint).
Therefore to save £6,600,000 they would have to be producing
1,691,440 hl (1,033,513 barrels or 297,651,878 pints) of the beer.
Which, staggeringly enough, seems to fit with the output figures Wikipedia and other sources give for John Smith's. 300 million pints!
Which is not far off half the total amount of cask beer sold in the country - suggesting that JS has a very high share of the keg market.
That's the last time you get a ride on my yacht, TM.
Nice work Rob!
You seem to have more spam, TM, than Dewhursts.
I am inundated at the moment. You ought to see what doesn't get through.
Thinking about it.

Travel + Leisure's 100 Greatest Trips review
Description
-taken from the DK Canada website
With recommendations for outstanding hotels, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, museums, and tour operators, and more than 350 color images from T+L's award-winning photographers, Travel + Leisure's 100 Greatest Trips 2010 is a dazzling collection of journeys that will help you discover yourself and the world.
Inside you'll find culinary tours, shopping expeditions, scenic drives, beach escapes, art and culture, and outdoor adventures. You'll also find useful travel tips and mini guides to each destination with maps and recommendations for hotels, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, museums, and tour operators.
MY REVIEW
I loved traveling vicariously through this book! The pictures are just amazing. I found the book to be incredibly informative. There were trips all over the world, from well known destinations like Paris and Mexico to the more exotic Namibia and Tibet. Even my kids enjoyed looking at the pictures and telling me where we should go.
I will say that the vast majority of suggested accommodations are waaayyy out of our price range but it is still very nice to dream. I appreciated that the pictures and descriptions seemed like they were done by people who had actually been there!
If you've been bitten by the travel bug than I would definitely suggest getting yourself a copy of 100 Greatest Trips.
Thanks so much to DK Canada for sending me a review copy of this book.

I recently received a question about protable BBQ’s with “hoods”. It’s a common question and I haven’t seen the product in the “flesh” so rather than be too specific, I’ve provided helpful tips you need for most BBQ’s, with a few added comments.
Question: Have you any reviews on – SUNBEAM INNOVA portable gas BBQ’s also GASMATE 2006 hooded portable gas bbq ? What would you recommend as the best hooded portable BBQ for camping and picnics ?

It’s hard to believe that another year has passed by. Christmas was last weekend and now in a couple days we can say goodbye to 2010. Time just seems to fly by.
Alot has happened in this last year but I’m too tired recovering from Christmas to list them out. Hopefully next week I can drop a post much bigger than this about 2010..
But until then, enjoy New Years this weekend and stay safe!

Kathleen - John, did
you teach in the U.S. before joining the Peace Corps?
John - Yes, for one year as a high school English teacher.
Kathleen - One year
caused you to decide to go overseas with the Peace Corps? What inpsired
you?
John - Oh, JFK. I was in college when he was elected president. We all wanted to do something for our country. I joined the Peace Corps in 1962. I went to Ethiopia as a secondary school teacher. It was a great adventure.
Kathleen - How true-to-life
are the situations and relationships portrayed in the fiction of Living
on the Edge? Does reading the book give one a true picture of attitudes
on both sides (Peace Corps volunteers and "locals"')? Is it "the toughest
job you'll ever love" as the official slogan claims?
John - Yes, it is STILL the toughest job you'll ever love. I attempted in the book to show lots of experiences. The Peace Corps is almost 40 years old. There have been over 160,000 Volunteers. Each one of them has his or her own story, and all of our stories are true. I just squeezed a few into my book.
Kathleen - A bit of history from the Peace Corps site at : After a day of campaigning for the presidency, John F. Kennedy arrived at the University of Michigan over the last 37 years, more than 150,000 Americans have responded to this enduring challenge.
Rich - How many stories
were submitted for your book? You had more stories from Africa; were most
of the best writers from there?
John - I received over 100 short stories.
John - A lot of the Volunteers are teachers in Africa and they tend to be the literary type.
John - Most of the writers from the Peace Corps, however, come from Micronesia.
Kathleen - Is (classroom)
education the main focus of the Peace Corps effort? Do educators outnumber
other professions in the Peace Corps?
John - About 40% of all Volunteers teach, either in the classroom or out of the normal setting. We teach all grades, right into college and university.
Rich - Was there any
particular theme that you chose in selecting these stories?
John - I wanted the stories to have an international setting. I wanted a cross cultural experience.
Kathleen - FAQ: Do
I need to speak another language to get into the Peace Corps?.
Kathleen - 17 authors contributed as many stories to Living on the Edge
Joe - John, do you
think that a lot of Volunteers are also writers because there's a curiosity
that makes them want to discover other countries AND also discover themselves
through writing?
John - I think you are right, Joe. A lot of Volunteers go overseas dreaming of writing the great Peace Corps novel. And we have had several great books. You can get a list of them by going onto
Kathleen - FAQ: What sort of educational background do I need to be a Volunteer? Most Volunteer assignments require a four-year college degree. Applicants without a college degree may qualify by having three to five years of work experience in an area such as managing a business or working in a skilled trade.
Kathleen - John, do
Peace Corps volunteers generally feel they have made a difference by serving,
or do they come away feeling they've just maintained a status quo?
John - I think most of them know that they have made a contribution. However, most of them feel that they were the ones who were really blessed by the experience.
benny - Our daughter
is in Zimbabwe. We are concerned for the health of PC volunteers in a country
with such a high incidence of AIDS. It is appauling how Africans are kept
uninformed of HIV and AIDS transmission.
John - Peace Corps Volunteers do AID education in Africa. It is one of our most important programs.
John - Volunteers in Training, benny, are taught how to deal with the issues of AIDS in country.
Joe - When you say
volunteers feel blessed, then would you say Volunteer teachers also feel
like students because they're learning about a new culture?
John - Joe, one of the three goals of the Peace Corps is to educate Americans about the world. Volunteers then come home and tell Americans what they have learned.
Kathleen - FAQ: Does the Peace Corps accept senior citizens? You're never too old to serve in the Peace Corps. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, but there is no upper age limit. The oldest Peace Corps Volunteer ever was 86 when he completed his service. The Peace Corps and the countries where Volunteers serve often welcome and value the wealth of experience that older Americans bring to their overseas assignments.
Kathleen - Contact information:
Kathleen - John, has
the Peace Corps mission changed in substantial ways since it was created?
John - No it hasn't, Kathleen. The work we do today is just the same. We are, however, in lots of new countries, all the Eastern European countries, for example. That new.
penguin - John--who
teaches the teachers? are they former Peace Corps volunteers, by and large?
John - Yes, RPCVs (Returned Peace Corps Volunteers) and Host Country Nationals.
Kathleen - How much
tension or difficulty relating across cultures is there between Peace Corps
volunteers and the people they serve? In your story, "Snow Man" Marc's
cultural misunderstanding results in tragedy. In general, is that sort
of misunderstanding common among youthful Peace Corps volunteers?
Kathleen - In your introduction to the short fiction (Snow Man) you contributed to Living on the Edge you write, "There is always plenty of opportunity for tragic comedy and plenty of cross-cultural misunderstandings whenever young Americans try to do good."
John - Well, there is always a lot of misunderstanding. That's one of the benefits of two years. We learn to get along. The character in my story, however, couldn't handle the isolation that was involved with living outside of his culture.
Kathleen - John, did
you go through periods when you didn't know whether you could finish your
assignment in Ethiopia?
John - No, I didn't, but many people do have a hard time. Usually it is after the third month of service. At the end of the tour, most of us felt as we didn't have enough time, that we were only now just learning what to do, and what would work. About one-third
Kathleen - FAQ: Can married couples join the Peace Corps? Can I serve with my boyfriend or girlfriend? Peace Corps service can be a rewarding, enriching experience for married couples. Today, about 10% before departing for their overseas assignment.
Tom - John, what is
a weakness in Peace Corps novels that might not be as prevalent in other
novels?
John - Peace Corps novels tend to focus on small issues in terms of the world at large. They find it hard to get an audience. However, we have had some great ones.
Kathleen - I recommend Living on the Edge, published by Curbstone Press. Visit Curbstone Press at . Curbstone Press is a 501(c)(3). Curbstone builds bridges between writers directly engaged in social struggle and the public, ranging from colleges to community centers, children to adults, a public increasingly eager to be educated about the cultures these writers represent. Curbstone seeks out the highest aesthetic expression of the dedication to human rights: poetry, stories, novels, testimonials, photography. Curbstone Press combines editorial integrity with painstaking craft in the creation of books, books of passion and purpose.
Kathleen - Is Living
on the Edge being used in classrooms for the study of world cultures?
John - Yes, and as an example of good writing. Richard Wiley, at UNLV uses it in his creative writing classes.
Kathleen - Curbstone's Alexander "Sandy" Taylor was my high school English (American Studies) teacher. He would have used Living on the Edge in some of his classes. :-) And we would have enjoyed the experience.
John - I think so. Every month another RPCV publishes a good book, nonfiction or fiction base, at least in part, on the overseas experience.
Kathleen - John, Paul
Theroux's "White Lies" (one of the selections in Living on the Edge)
convinced me that I'm not Peace Corps material. Without spoiling the story
for others, I'll just say that the afflication he experienced would have
been enough to send me home and into therapy!
John - Oh, Theroux handled most situations than that. It is not the physical problems in the Peace Corps that are difficult. It is living outside one's culture and depending on oneself for everything. That's tough. But the toughest task is coming home again.
Kathleen - John, tell
us how you maintain your association with the Peace Corps.
John - Kathleen, I am currently a recruiter in the New York Recruitment Office. I'm finding the next generation of Volunteers. And I am encouraging them to write home about it, tell Americans about the world.
Kathleen - On December 23, 1999, President Clinton named Mark L. Schneider as Director of the Peace Corps. Schneider is the agency's 15th Director and the second returned Peace Corps volunteer (El Salvador 1966-68) to head the Peace Corps.
Kathleen - John, tell
us more about the difficulty of coming home again.
John - There's a great story of a returned Volunteer going into a store and trying to buy soap. She broke down into tears because there were so many bars of soap. She couldn't handle making such a decision. Life overseas makes all of us see America in a new way.
Rich - Kathleen, not a question - just a comment: The "inflictions" PCV's have seem incidental to the work that you are doing. Illnesses are just another thing that you have to overcome. I agree with John's last comment about the toughest things are living outside one's culture and depending on oneself. It does help to have a good support system, though.
Kathleen - This web site contains links to all kinds of information about the Peace Corps, and would be especially interesting to former members of the Peace Corps and those considering joining the Peace Corps:
Kathleen - John, we
hosted (befriended) a man from Malawi. That changed many of our perceptions
about our country and culture.
John - That's right, Kathleen. The genius of the Peace Corps was that the Volunteers live at the level of the people they are helping, therefore, they get to know them; they become friends. I am still friends with Ethiopians I met 35 years ago.
Kathleen - John, do
you speak on college campuses to recruit?
John - Kathleen, we do recruit across the country at college campuses and in the community. Anyone can reach a local Peace Corps Office by calling 800.424.8580, Option 1. Or checking out our website:
Kathleen - A neat site is Peace Corps Kids World, which introduces kids to the Peace Corps and exposes them to geography and cultural information, as well as folk tales from countries around the world: Kids World, brought to you by the Peace Corps. Join our pal, Traveler, as she explores the globe and learns about making a difference. Come on in to the home of adventure and service -- Peace Corps Kids World!Explore a few of Peace Corps' 80 countries around the globe!
Kathleen - John, have
you hosted them here?
John - I see or speak to my Ethiopians all the time, though that live now in the U.S.
Rich - John, what
was the best thing you liked being head of a country's PC contingent. What
was the worst?
Rich - I had thought that you returned to Ethiopia as a PC administrator.
John - Rich, I did returned to Ethiopia for two years on the staff in the mid-60s
Kathleen - I recommend Living on the Edge-Fiction by Peace Corps Writers, editor John Coyne, who also contributed a story.(Pub. Curbstone Press, 1999) .
Kathleen - Also by John Coyne: THE PIERCING , THE SEARING, HOBGOBLIN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE HUNTING SEASON, FURY, CHILD OF SHADOWS, THE LEGACY, THE SHROUD
Kathleen - John, what
is the greatest misconception about the Peace Corps among Americans?
John - Oh, I think, Kathleen, that most people think that the Peace Corps ended when JFK was killed. Today we have almost 7,000 Volunteers in 76 countries.We are still going strong.
Kathleen - John, I'm very happy to hear that legacy of JFK endures.
Kathleen - John, any
plans to return again?
John - Kathleen, I would love to go back to Africa. Once it gets in your blood, you never get over the experience.
penguin - John, do
other countries have a volunteering tradition that's analogous--and do
Peace Corps volunteers work alongside them? (I'm thinking of groups like
Doctors without Borders. . .
John - penquin, yes, there are many other volunteers organizations. The British service actually started a few months before the Peace Corps began.
penguin - and have
those groups generated a body of literature comparable to the Peace Corps
writers' output?
John - penquin, not that I know.
John - penguin, you might look for a book entitled, Louisa, by Simone Zelitch. It is coming this fall from Putnam
Kathleen - Any other
closing comments, questions? Just post them and we'll see what John can
cover in a couple more minutes.
John - Thank you, Kathleen.
Kathleen - The hour is over already! John, thank you for participating in this interesting and informative chat session. Please consider returning someday with another topic of interest to educators. You're easy to chat with. :-) I urge readers to pick up a copy of Living on the Edge-Fiction by Peace Corps Writers. (Curbstone Press, 1999) .

Amazon profits take big hitOctober 25, 2012: 4:41 PM ET
The retailer reported a 27% sales increase from the same period last year and an operating loss of $28 million.
Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire HD, released last month, is now the company's #1 bestselling product worldwide.
FORTUNE -- Amazon's short-term sacrifices appear to be continuing.
Amazon (AMZN) reported a 27% sales increase to $13.81 billion, up from $10.88 billion the same time last year, and an operating loss of $28 million. That was off from Wall Street's estimates, which had predicted an operating loss of nearly $75 million, but higher revenues of $13.9 billion. Meanwhile, profits dropped to a loss of $274 million, or $0.60 cents per share, compared to a net income of $63 million a year ago. For the fourth quarter, the company expects revenues of between $20.25 billion and $22.75 billion. Amazon shares were down nearly 8% in after hours trading following the announcement.
The loss this quarter was due in part to the company's $175 million investment in LivingSocial, which it lost $169 million on. The remaining loss was due to Amazon's ongoing strategy of sacrificing short-term profitability for long-term revenues and market gains.
Over the last year, the company has invested heavily in expansion, which includes building more fulfillment centers. During a media earnings call, CFO Tom Szkutak said 19 new fulfillment centers would be up and running for the holiday season, with an additional one or two warehouses potentially ready during the fourth quarter or early next year.
Amazon has also invested heavily in its vast Amazon Web Services business and the launch of products in its Kindle line. Earlier this month, CEO Jeff Bezos revealed the latest Kindles -- updated Kindle Fire units and the self-lit Kindle Paperwhite -- do not profit Amazon and are sold at cost. Just for comparison, CNET recently reported that Apple (AAPL) hovers around a 40% margin on its WiFi-based iPad.
"Our approach is to work hard to charge less. Sell devices near breakeven and you can pack a lot of sophisticated hardware into a very low price point," said Bezos in a statement, pointing to the 7-inch $199 Kindle Fire the company released last month. That version has since gone on to become Amazon's #1 bestselling product around the world. The recently released Kindle Paperwhite and $69 Kindle are the number two and three bestselling products, respectively.
"While investors remain understandably focused on Amazon's sub-scale retail margins and significant investments in technology, distribution capacity, and content, we believe that other segments should provide more comfort in potential operating margin expansion," wrote Robert W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian earlier this week.
Indeed, the majority of analysts remain bullish on the company. Looking further out, Lazard Capital Markets analyst Atul Bagga predicts Amazon is currently in the midst of a transition from pure e-commerce player to powerful digital media platform. "We believe Amazon has three competitive advantages that will allow it to compete in, and potentially dominate, digital media platforms: 1) trust; 2) technology; and 3) payment infrastructure," Bagga wrote in a report earlier this week. "While we believe investment today is justified by its existing businesses at the current stock valuation, we also think that the next iteration of the Amazon platform will represent the dominant platform for digital and virtual goods as well."
In other words: good things may yet come to those shareholders who wait.

If he upgraded the project to RC1 status, and the testing showed that it wasn't anywhere near ready for release, then Microsoft could have downgraded it in a jiffy and said more work needed to be done. Or kept it at "RC1" for a long time before making "RC2" which would be the first real Release Candidate.
Instead they ended up pushing it out the door in short order (maybe not RC1 specifically, but only a minor change from it), so as to make it look like the project was indeed almost ready for release and that's why the project leader left. As opposed to this version of events, which looks more like the project wasn't going good and the project leader got a better offer so he jumped ship and left the project to hang.
It doesn't make MS look good at all.

After all that, it was a bit of a flop anyway. Sales were (and are) quite non-stellar. This goes back to (mostly) the lack of compelling features (these were the ones shed just to be able to ship something), combined with the confusing license soup. The lowest-end versions of Vista, in particular, offer nothing compelling over XP. In fact, a user of XP Pro - or probably even XP Home - would find things that were missing from Vista Home Basic and have to go out and spend to get that functionality again.
And now we see Microsoft making something of a public embarrassment of itself on the world stage, fighting its battle with Yahoo in the press.

I jotted off my little journal entry on the subject, which was indeed dramatically more rude and to the point, before I saw this article, so for me it was simply RMS saying what I wanted said.

There is a clear argument against the term "shill", which is to stand up and say "I am not receiving compensation for my moderation of your comment." Granted, Slashdot does not make it possible to do this other than by posting in the story, but that also provides instant proof that this person engaged in the moderation, and gives them a chance to make their case as to why you should have been moderated in that fashion. If it is compelling, surely someone else will come along... and moderate the comment that they didn't like as overrated.
However, there are zero valid reasons to moderate my above comment as Flamebait. There are lots of reasons why someone might do it anyway. One of them is that they are a true iFanboy zealot who cannot bear any criticism of the holy Jobs, his turtleneck, or the RDF. (Thank goodness Guy Kawasaki made it okay to talk about the RDF, or shiny-suited agents of Apple might be knocking at my door right now, and I haven't even clicked Preview yet. Or perhaps they're simply RMS-haters and anything that agrees with him is evil. Regardless, the only other really good reason for such moderation is if you're getting paid to do it.
I try to restrict my use of the word "shill" to people who repeat the party line even when it has conclusively been proven to be false and/or irrelevant. Abusive moderation to hide a comment that diverges from the groupthink falls under aggressive maintenance of the status quo.

They couldn't do it in a thousand years even if they tried, and so it's a nonexistent benefit to them - a non-feature.
Apple's allure to regular people, and Jobs' particular influence, is that they make all this complicated technology easy to use. Yeah they severely limit the tech geek in the process, but most regular people simply don't care. To them, the alternative is barely being able to use the technology at all. That's what makes Jobs one of the most important influences on technology in the minds of most laypeople (i.e. the great majority of the population).
I'm an engineer by trade and this is one of the things which confounds me about programmers ("software engineers"). One of the most basic tenets of engineering is KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid. Yet programmers, and especially the Linux culture, seem to delight in making things more complicated rather than simpler. They advocate Gentoo, and express shock and dismay that the "dumbed down" Ubuntu distro is the most popular. It's ok to revel in the bits and pieces that make technology work. But for the vast majority of people, the technology is a means to an end, not an end in itself -- a mere tool. Those bits and pieces need to be as invisible as possible so these people can use the tool to get their work done.
With Jobs' passing, end users lost one of their biggest advocates for this simplicity in an industry full of tech geeks who love to tinker with the nuts and bolts. That's why the mainstream media is going ga-ga over this while tech sites like Slashdot are yawning.

Agreed. To paraphrase Stallman, once Stallman is dead, I'll be sorry that he is dead, but glad that he is gone.
The gay movement had their Stallman in the form of ACT-UP -- people doing outlandish, socially unacceptable acts for publicity (such as throwing blood on people they disagreed with). Stallman fits the same mold. Once the gay movement grew up and ACT-UP faded away, the gay movement became far more accepted.
What was cause? What was effect? I don't care. ACT-UP and Stallman may have been needed at one point, but ultimately do more harm to their own cause then they realize.

I disagree. I'm glad the FSF has someone as uncompromising as Stallman. Even if his perceived extremism is bad for corporate open source software, it's better for the free software to survive in its current state as a hobbyist movement than to devolve into openwashing and flourish, which is exactly what corporations want, to turn OSS into nothing more than a nifty marketing label while they control the product with an iron fist. This is why I support the GPLv3 and am against any "pragmatist" ideas of allowing for Tivoization and patent traps so that companies will be more likely to adopt and use open source.
Android is a good example of what happens to open source software when corporations get their way with it. It flourishes, but so what? Who benefits from the openness, apart from the few geeks who download the source code (for certain versions) and hack it onto a few devices? To the average customer it's as closed as iOS for all practical purposes. At the end of the day, this situation is at best, no better than the stereotypical obscure neckbeard-run FOSS project critics fear the "idealist" position would lead to in terms of openness, except that a company got rich by ripping off the open source community and contributing a little code back for the uber-geeks to tinker with. And it's a good thing there are a few tablets and phones out there with unlocked bootloaders and VMs are an option or the hobbyist wouldn't be able to do a damn thing with the Android source. If Google really wanted to tivo-lock Android, nothing's stopping them.

But the issue Stallman is raising is that over many years, Jobs was about ownership and money as much as he was about anything else. He was not a leading light of the open source software movement. In fact, he and his company continue to be rather aggressively proprietary anywhere they can get away with it. They only moved to a Unix base because not to do so was fatal -- they didn't have a chance of developing a creditable non-Unix multitasking multiuser operating system to replace the long series of completely proprietary Mac OS's, at a time that even Microsoft was reading the writing on the wall (and MS had NT, for better or worse, and it took most of a decade to develop that to where it was capable of turning into e.g. XP and giving MS a consumer OS that wasn't doomed out of the gate.
Basically, the OSS community saved Apple's ass every bit as much as the Ipod did -- without OSX the actual Apple "computer" was dead and everybody knows it and knew it at the time (and Apple came within a hair of ceasing to exist because of it). So what, exactly, did Apple then do for the OSS community? Move to open standards for (say) music? Move to open standards for anything at all where the standards were not already dictated by the marketplace? Become an aggressive corporate presence calling for an end to proprietary software and hardware?
Hardly. Does the Ipod use a USB port to play music or charge? It does! Does it use a standard USB connector? It does not! Hence an instant, enormous aftermarket for a proprietary piece of cabling that won't work with anybody else's anything and that gains no particular benefit from the difference. Over decades -- printer cables, modem cables, mouse cable -- if it was Apple only Apple's version would fit on an Apple piece of hardware.
Software no better. I personally am neither glad he's dead nor glad he's gone because either OSS can make it on its own in spite of people like Jobs and Gates and companies like Apple and Microsoft or it can't, but Jobs was in a position to do the compassionate and ethical thing at least a time or two in there and I would not say that his corporate business decisions properly reflected the general Buddhist philosophy or ethos.
It was, and remains, all about the money and power and influence every bit as much as it was about the joy.

The time to make the statement is while it is relevant. You wait until the initial storm dies down, and then you start your own. And it is critical that we receive this message — not you and I, maybe, but as many of the wide-eyed legions of Apple as can be reached. Because what Apple represents is precisely the same thing that Microsoft or Sony represents: a dearth of choice. Stallman might be an egotistical ass, but he is certainly the foremost champion of the rights of the user. Some programmers don't like that, so they don't like the GPL, and they don't like Free Software. They call it a virus and they would prefer to stamp it out rather than have to deal with something so confusing.
Other people can make the same point in a month, and a year, and reach other audiences, but this point needs to be made now and it needs to be made well. Stallman has done both.

Still, Stallman has made is an enormous impact on planet Earth, quite possibly much larger than that of Jobs. Stallman is just the unhurd of version of Jobs, and w/o turtle-neck. The GPL (which has Linux as a subset) made it for a hurd of other free software licenses as well.

Stallman's contributions are gdb, hot air, and beard grease and the only reason gcc/gdb became popular is the same reason UNIX became popular: it was available. Apple doesn't even use gcc anymore and its days may be numbered.

He leaves things unsaid, because he assumes that the audience is paying proper attention, and reading between the lines.
Case in point:
Stallman's ideal vision of a world where every user is a programmer that reprograms their devices at will isn't happening for too many reasons to list
You don't need to be a programmer to program a computer. My boss isn't a programmer, yet he can program a computer simply by paying me money and telling me what to do. My mum isn't a programmer, but she can program a computer by asking me a favour. Stallman assumes people realise that.

You may recall that back in May, West wrote a long, capitalized, rant against Twitter. He was mad about people pretending to be him on the service. I’m not sure if he ever got his own name, but that account is now suspended. Poor Kanye.

Phase 4: Merge Topologies
Topic Last Modified: 2012-03-29
The following topics outline the steps needed to merge your Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 pools to Microsoft Lync Server 2013 pools. First, you use the Topology Builder Merge wizard to merge topology information. This tool collects information about your Office Communications Server 2007 R2 environment, including Edge Server information, and publishes that information to a database shared with Lync Server 2013. After you publish the merged topology, Topology Builder is used to view the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 topology information and information about the newly deployed Lync Server 2013 topology. Finally, you use Lync Server Management Shell cmdlets to import policies and configuration settings.

Looks so delicious!!
Yum! My oldest daughter will eat anything fruity, I have never though of using frozen fruit. I guess I'm a bit dense. What a great way to have great crumbles in the off-season
I wouldn't say they are my favourite dessert, but I love them too ! This one seems very very good ...
I m only drooling. I m not saying anything else
Apple crumble is my fave, but I've never turned down a bite of any kind!
Well, I couldn't agree more...crumbles are divine, any time of year. And, so great that you can use frozen fruit too. What's not to love????? Great post, as usual!
I ADORE NIGEL SLATER!!! (and your blog which I just recently discovered!) This looks wonderful, I love the way it uses almond meal in the crumble base. Can't wait to try!

Turns out it wasn’t just Twitter that someone tried to bring down via Distributed Denial of Service today. Cnet’s Elinor Mills is reporting that a Facebook executive says that a pro-Georgian activist with accounts on multiple social media sites was targeted, and that Facebook, Blogger, YouTube, and other sites were also under attack. Everybody else who used the sites was apparently just caught in the crossfire.
Hence today’s T-Poll:

Today’s distributed denial of service attack on Twitter shows how important it is to have alternate mediums of communication. It also was a real time lesson to show the lag time between when this event began this morning, and the time the major media outlets began to report it. It took the Drudge Report at least a half hour from the time I provided the news tip – not saying I was the first – only that I figured out something serious was wrong with Twitter shortly after 9 this morning and began searching for answers and calling it to Matt’s attention.
August 6th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
DDoS attacks are certainly a form of cyber-terrorism, but there’s nothing really frightening about them. We know where they come from and why, but since they rarely target anything that’s truly critical to everyday life, the world moves on.
However, it does show that if we’re going to depend increasingly on the internet for mission-critical stuff, there will probably have to be some fundamental changes to the way that information travels around the web. I’m not counting on that happening any time soon, because it would also likely mean the death of anonymity on the internet, something that a lot of people seem to enjoy.
August 7th, 2009 at 10:29 am
It’s proof that there are too many morons in the world with too much time on their hands.
As for cyber-terrorism, there are FAR more worrisome things happening than denial of service attacks.
On the positive side, every weakness revealed is an opportunity to learn what needs to be done to strengthen the system.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Having a DDOS attack waged against you could be considered a badge of honor among websites — you don’t know if you’ve really “made it” until you get one. By then, you hopefully have the resources to deal with it properly. But it still sucks very, very badly.
Ultimately, I think DDOS attacks show the weakness of the world’s operating systems — and user practices — that so many PCs can become zombified and turned into unwitting tools of disruption.

media organizations and more about the reporters, writers and personalities who make up CNN and the New York Times of the world.
I am just a blogger. I have been writing for over six years and I’ve swung from the “new media will kill old media” mode to “new media and traditional (I don’t call it old anymore) media” have a place together. Still, many bloggers (and social media people as a whole) get locked in an us and them struggle with their traditional peers. We see it in the music industry, in access to sports, in public relations and marketing, etc. Everyone loves the us vs. them argument.
Here’s the dirty little secret though: Without ‘them’, there is no ‘us’ and without ‘us’ there is no ‘them’. We are married together for the future of the industry forever. And that goes for all industries where these conversations happen.
What really is happening is a separation of the power brokers from the base of power. In other words, in public relations, professionals at the agencies go about their mindless drone job of push, push, push without ever really talking, tracking, monitoring or engaging the demographic they are trying to reach.
In the NFL, for years the clubs engaged in tactics with bloggers that delegitimized the coverage they were receiving and, in fact, the public was consuming… only because bloggers typically didn’t write for large media organizations.
In fact, Jay Rosen, a Professor at the New York University School of Journalism (And one of the smartest, most insightful journalism critics I know of), characterized this problem on Twitter by observing how the White House Press Corps engages.
Indeed. Though one could ask why the White House Press Corps would communicate directly with the public instead of with the White House, where their job is. Nonetheless, the greater point that is being made is that Traditional media that communicates with the base of power (the citizens and customers) is generally able to perform their art in a more meaningful way.
New Media exists to bridge a gap. We will never replace traditional journalism. On the other hand, traditional journalism will never eliminate new media. The bigger question is… why would either side want to do those things at all?
All I wanted to say is:
The answer to your last question comes from a mentality that can best be described by a famous Western line – “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us.”
My mom (who works for a magazine) and I often talk about the traditional vs. new media dichotomy, mostly saying “How much news can one person take in?” I think a lot of people were worried blogs would become the new source of how Americans get their news, but I don’t think anyone is ever going to want to get their news solely from me or you. At the same time, there’s only so much of AP style one person can consume, particularly when there are shiny objects like Perez Hilton (or, heck, Stephen Colbert) to distract you.
The two can exist and will exist together.
Now, whether either of those groups will ever make much money doing it — whether large groups of people will want to pay the New York Times or Citizen Blogger X to get their news every day when there are so many competing groups that provide (or aggregate) the same information for free — that’s another question for another day.
Aaron – I REALLY like your post and the balanced approach you’ve taken in pointing out that, “Without ‘them’ [traditional media], there is no ‘us’ and without ‘us’ [new media] there is no ‘them.’” I’ve actually done a lot of thinking about this and wrote a post several weeks ago where I talked about the need for both traditional AND new media to complement one another versus compete with one another. Both have their place and both fill a need. The sooner we can figure out how to work better together, the more value the end users (the readers) will derive.
Thanks for such a thoughtful post.
Best,
Aaron | @aaronstrout
Most of the traditional media press corps (including those using new media),
are in bed with the @Whitehouse, not voters.
Jay is sharp, but too close to it to see it.
Thoughtful, reasoned post, Aaron.
Great post. I’ve never understood why it has to be “us vs. them.” I’m glad more people are seeing that.
I see a lot of resistance from “traditional” journalists to embrace new media as a legitimate news source. Journalists who are anti-bloggers like to paint all bloggers with the same brush in order to discredit them. I think it’s partially job security. Journalists who work for traditional media are seeing their readership decline while people get their news from other sources, and some don’t know how to deal with that.

Sometimes I have the notorious "Missing Memory Problem" (e.g. 24G installed, board boots with 16G) and one solution I read was to increase the DRAM voltage. I'm wondering if there are other, less "brute-force" ways of addressing this problem.
My freq/timings are 6x4GB @533, 7-7-7-19 CR1. I haven't found a combination that will consistently boot all 6 DIMMs so I'm trying the DRAM voltage at 1.6.
G.Skill replied to someone on newegg saying 1.6V would "work fine" but neither writer specified the chipset. So I'm wondering whether 1.6V DRAM actually is safe to run through the X58 chipset.
Thanks for any thoughts you'd care to share...I appreciate it.

Just interviewed Mike Riley of the Oracle Development Tools User Group (ODTUG). He’s in town for the IOUC conference . He didn’t say this on tape, but in the car back to his hotel he said being a member of ODTUG makes him much better at his work and helps him enjoy his job. He’s been a developer and project manager at the same insurance company for twenty years. TWENTY years. He says that ODTUG membership makes him part of a community that is “always trying something new, and always willing to help you,” he said. He also likes that his fellow members, based all over the world, look to him for his knowledge and leadership.
My Up Close video interviews for Oracle Magazine are convincing me that being part of a self-formed group pursuing excellence in any endeavor is a key to maintaining happiness and meaning in your work.
I’ve been toiling on my own for too long. Another goal for 2009: join a group of writers and work with them to pursue excellence -- it is, I am learning from my tech friends, a route to happiness.

You picked a good candidate in Mike. I have known him via the ODTUG group for a few years now and always enjoy our encounters. I find Mike to be a sincere and upbeat person who is always willing to extend a hand, but also keeps things realistic when tough decisions have to be made. I look forward to your interview being published!
Dan,
Mike is a good guy and very dedicated to his users group. He flew in for the IOUC meeting on his daughters birthday, which I could tell was a struggle for him. I notice you work with the RAC SIG. Let's stay in touch, as I just spoke with Murali Vallath about doing a column in the coming months about you guys .
Hi Jeff,
Sure, that sounds great. I'm planning to be at RMOUG, Hotsos, Collaborate, and ODTUG conferences between now and June, so maybe I'll meet up with you at one of those? Let me know if that's possible--I'd love to meet up and talk about the RAC SIG and more.
Jeff,
Thanks for the kind thoughts. It was great to talk with you about something I am very passionate about.
As you noted, Hortica Insurance & Employee Benefits is a GREAT place to work. They are very supportive of my desire to volunteer for ODTUG and the good of the Oracle development community.
Thanks again!
Mike Riley
President - Oracle Development Tools User Group (ODTUG)
Project Manager / DBA - Hortica Insurance & Employee Benefits
Mike, I know you made that point in our conversation; about your employer having the vision to support your users group work. I will make sure to hit it in the magazine piece.

Shas runs a racist ad against Russians
A Shas TV campaign commercial which casts aspersions on the state conversion system has been labelled as “racist” by several politicians.It's bad enough that early leftists in Israel had a negative attitude towards Jews from Arabic lands. Now Shas is making things worse by launching one-dimensional attacks on Russians, making themselves look as bad as those early leftist politicians in the country. Why, back in 1999, they made offensive claims against Natan Sharaksky that he wanted the interior ministry so he could bring prostitutes into the country! Which was simply unacceptable language, and only makes them look like loose cannons. Coupled with their spoiled-child attitude, it's a very poor way to run a political campaign.
In the ad, a tall blonde woman named Marina, who is speaking Hebrew with a thick Russian accent, punctuated with phrases in Russian, dials “star conversion” on a fax machine while standing under a wedding canopy with her fiancé.
“Wait, you’re not Jewish?” her Sephardi-looking husband-to-be asks in surprise, as the reply fax rolls in.
“Now I am,” Marina responds happily. [...]
Seth Farber, an Orthodox rabbi and director of the religious rights lobbying group ITIM, also slammed the commercial and accused the party of hypocrisy. [...]
“This ad campaign is a slap in the face for immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Farber added, noting that “the Torah mentions 36 times the prohibition of denigrating converts” and calling on Yosef to ban the campaign. [...]
Renegade Shas MK and Am Shalem party leader Haim Amsalem also weighed in: “Shas's broadcast against converts is racist and is a direct continuation of their ugly and divisive sectarian campaign.”
Update: while we're on the subject of Shas, The Jerusalem Post got a letter on Jan. 6 about Aryeh Deri's dhimmitude:
Sir, – Shas leader Arye Deri states that there should be an interim agreement with the (socalled) Palestinians, and immediately afterwards urges an Israeli withdrawal from parts of Judea and Samaria (“In ‘Post’ interview, Deri calls for long-term deal with Palestinians,” January 4). Perhaps he was incarcerated too long to realize that an interim agreement with your enemy ultimately becomes a permanent agreement.When Deri says they're not nationalist, it can also be construed as saying they're not Zionist, which is synonymous with patriotism. That's another very sad thing about Deri and Shas.
On the one hand Deri says, “We aren’t nationalist,” and then states that God gave us this land. First, why isn’t he a nationalist? That’s what he and all of us should be. Second, if God gave us this land, who gave Deri the right to give it to others? His comment, “Our rabbis will decide what is best to do,” is particularly objectionable, as rabbis are supposed to decide halachic questions, not political or national questions, especially when it comes to relinquishing our holy land.
Update: Israel Hayom has a video available with their article of what Shas' advertisement is like and I find it very disgusting. It resorts to vulgar stereotypes, and has no place in our society.
Update 2: Shas has agreed to quit using the ad.

The new Iris Public Relations tool is designed to show users exactly how ATM communications via satellite will work. It shows how the air traffic controllers (ATCO) would be able to compose and send data messages, and then how aircraft pilots could receive and be able to reply to these messages, as well as displays what’s happening in between.
“When talking to our aviation partners about satellite communications, we realised there was some concern that satcoms would complicate the tasks of controllers and pilots because it is not integrated in aviation safety systems today,” explains Nathalie Ricard, ESA Iris programme manager.
“But they will be in the future. With Iris, pilots and controllers won’t even notice their data exchange travels via satellite. The system will actually allow data exchanges with much better quality and over wider geographical regions than what is available today. We thought we should develop a system mock-up that would show these advantages, and simulate, in an interactive manner, how the technology works.”
The display is composed of a two-metre long table, a computer and four screens. The right screen will represent the air traffic controller working position, the left the aircraft and the pilot’s datalink interface, and the top screen shows the air traffic in the area covered by the satellite. The centre screen is the description display showing the interaction between the various system elements, and is used for graphical depictions of how the technology works.
Taking place in the Amsterdam RAI from March 6 to 8, the ATC global conference is the largest air traffic management exhibition in the world. The University of Salzburg, a regular participant in ATC Global, will host the Iris communications tool at their booth located in Hall 9.
“The University of Salzburg has developed a competence centre for aviation, and is well known and respected in Europe when it comes to new ATM technology,” says Ricard. “It has been involved with Iris from the start.”
ESA initiated the Iris programme in 2007 to support the adoption of satellite-based communications in the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme. It demonstrated the interest and feasibility of a satellite-based communication system to meet aviation’s requirements. Thanks to Iris, the value of satellite communications was recognised and included in the ATM master plan.
By 2020 Iris will contribute to the modernisation of air traffic management by providing digital datalinks to cockpit crews in continental and oceanic airspace.
Iris’s design phase is currently underway with the support of the EC, the SESAR Joint Undertaking, Eurocontrol, the European space industry, air navigation service providers and aviation stakeholders.

Calculating the Temkin Forgiveness Ratings
The Temkin Forgiveness Ratings are based on consumer feedback of their recent interactions with companies. We asked consumers how likely they are to forgive these companies if they deliver a bad experience on a 7-point scale from (1) extremely unlikely to (7) extremely likely. We take the percentage of consumers that gave a rating of 6 or 7 and subtract the percentage that gave a rating of 1, 2, or 3. This results in a “net forgiveness” rating for each of the three elements. For more information, see the Temkin Forgiveness Ratings Overview.

Dear all,
we are currently in the beta-testing phase. There are still a couple of design and content issues that need to be ironed out. But the basic structure of the blog is up and working. We are also trying to get a formal go-ahead from the university, concerning the blog. Please bear with us, if you find any sudden changes in the blog till it is launched formally.
While we are at it, we request you all to give your valuable feedback to the blog admin, so that we can include all the elements that the student fraternity wants. Shortly we will announce a launching date and a formal email invitation for all the students.
Thank you for all the support,
Admin.

: I am re-doing an upstairs bathroom in a 100 yr old house. The room is gutted from the floor joists to the rafters and to the studs. The toilet drains into a 3" pipe after approx. a 18" horizontal run. This 3" pipe is also the vent stack to the roof. Is it advisable to wet vent the shower and sink through that 18" horizontal run? I was going to "T" the shower and sink drains together and have a single 1 1/2" pipe connect to the toilet's horizontal run. Shower drain is 6 feet from the toilet horizontal run. Am I flawed in my thinking. Thanks, Kevin
Kevin,The shower drain should be 2" with a 2" vent until the lav drops into it. The maximum length of the shower trap arm is 60". Where these drain into the 3" line, there should be a wye fitting, if it's on the horizontal. The toilet will need to be vented with a 2" pipe. The purpose of the venting, is to prevent the traps from being siphoned dry when something like a toilet flushes and to aid in draining. Terry

I’ve been keeping quite busy the last couple of days. School takes up a lot but the little extra time I have I spend trying to make a little file upload demo in Cappuccino, which is really awesome. I love being able to code Objective-C and then just refresh my browser to see my application running in there instead of on the desktop.
Another very awesome thing is that I have now been officially approved as an iPhone Developer, meaning I can develop apps on my own phone and if they get good enough I can start selling them in the App Store. The entire application process took only 6 work-days which I have to say is very impressive! I’ve heard of people having to wait months for their licenses so that was pretty awesome. The first app up for development is essentially a phone version of DHG, which I hope can get quite awesome.
There is in fact so much awesome, that I can’t stop thinking about all of this awesome, resulting in me not getting any sleep. The upside of this is that it will result in tomorrow being very much less awesome and hopefully I’ll be able to get some sleep then.
I can’t wait till Christmas break when I’ll actually have some free time!

Rockets Vs. Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki Drops 21 In Fourth As Dallas Stuns Houston With Comeback.
By Steve von Horn.
"Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 Points on 4-6 FGs and 11-11 FTs in the fourth quarter as the Dallas Mavericks pulled off a 117-110 comeback win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
At this point, the phrase "losing streak" doesn't do the Houston Rockets justice. Anyone who just started watching Rockets this week might think they've been commissioned by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Houston has mixed close losses with clear defeats along the way, and now it no longer control its playoff destiny. On Wednesday it had the game in hand heading into the fourth quarter, and then the grizzled playoff veterans on the Mavericks snatched it away like candy from a (post-season) baby. Dirk Nowitzki pumped in 21 of his game-high 35 points in the final period and Dallas seized a 117-110 win.
All five Rockets starters -- Chandler Parsons (12), Luis Scola (18), Marcus Camby (11), Courtney Lee (16) and Goran Dragic (20) -- scored in double figures, while Kyle Lowry (11) and Chase Budinger (14) chipped in to make it seven Houston players hitting that mark in total. Unfortunately, nearly all of that group front-loaded its effort into the first three periods. Dragic hit his first six shots and dished out all 10 of his assists before the fourth quarter, and Scola saved 12 of his 18 points for a third-quarter run that put the team up 84-78 heading into the penultimate period. Then the collapse came.
Some great analysis of what turned the contest in the fourth quarter comes from Rob Mahoney of The Two Man Game:. ... Houston warily tried to attack what they initially perceived as created mismatches, only to fall back into a less aggressive offense and let Dallas switch without penalty.
A relentless cascade of big plays from Dirk simply overwhelmed the Rockets at the last.
The sheer weight of Nowitzki's fourth quarter effort speaks for itself:
Score ..Dirk Nowitzki's 4th Quarter (12 Min, 21 Points on 4-6 FGs and 11-11 FTs)
(Hou- Dal)
88-85 Dirk Nowitzki makes 25-foot three-point jumper (Vince Carter assists)
90-88 Dirk Nowitzki makes 24-foot three-point jumper (Jason Kidd assists)
94-101 Dirk Nowitzki makes driving layup (Jason Kidd assists)
94-102 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 1
98-103 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 2
98-104 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 2 of 2
100-108 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 2
100-109 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 2 of 2
103-110 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 2
103-111 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 2 of 2
107-113 Dirk Nowitzki makes layup (Jason Terry assists)
107-114 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 2
107-115 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 2 of 2
110-116 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 1 of 2
110-117 Dirk Nowitzki makes free throw 2 of 2
He was sparkling on spot ups, swift on drives and even sweetened it all with a back-door spin and cut around Dragic on a layup for his last field goal of the night. Sprinkle in smaller contributions from Jason Terry, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd -- which added up to 64.7 percent shooting, nine assists on 11 made baskets and just one turnover for the team -- and that's how the Mavs outscored the Rockets 39-26 in the final period to claim their victory.
Meanwhile, Luis Scola literally did nothing but commit fouls in his final six-minute stint, while Goran Dragic coughed up more turnovers (1) than he dished out assists (0) and the bench trio of Kyle Lowry, Patrick Patterson and Chase Budinger kept the game within "close, but not-good-enough" range, which is probably better than the "total meltdown" alternative as a matter of degree on the team's failure."

Dallas Mavericks close in on playoff berth with late magic.
Posted by Dwain Price.
DALLAS--"They gave their fans a little dose of some fourth-quarter magic Wednesday night at American Airlines Canter.
For that, the Dallas Mavericks need only one victory in their final three games after they rallied for a 117-110 triumph over the slumping Houston Rockets.
One more loss each for the Rockets (32-30) and Phoenix Suns (32-30), or a Dallas victory, will wrap up a playoff spot and put the Mavericks (35-28) in position to at least have the chance to successfully defend their NBA title.
"We understand things and we talked about it [Wednesday] morning,'' coach Rick Carlisle said. "This game was really pivotal in so many ways because it's a double court game on the whole magic number thing, and it effectively takes one team [Houston] out of it, which is big.
"We've got three more important games to go and they're all meaningful.''
The Mavs, who collected 39 points in the fourth quarter when they scored on 17 of their first 20 possessions, knew Wednesday's game was meaningful, also. Perhaps that's why when the money quarter rolled around, they rolled up their sleeves and started doing some serious damage.
Down 84-76 very late in the third period, the Mavs woke up in time to go on a 26-10 run and assume a 102-94 lead with 4:05 left. Most of the damage was done by Dirk Nowitzki, who tallied nine of his game-high 35 points in the run that inched the Mavs ever so close to the playoffs.
Jason Terry also played a pivotal role in the comeback, as did Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, who finished with 23 points.
"He just had a really strong disposition at both ends of the floor,'' Carlisle said of Carter. "Defensively, he was putting his body on people and he was rebounding.
"He's a tremendous all-around player. His passing ability is something that's frequently overlooked because he's a high flyer and scorer.''
Kidd's passing certainly wasn't overlooked. The 18-year veteran scored 12 points -- he was 4 of 7 from 3-point range --and also finished with eight assists while getting kudos from Delonte West for helping jump-start the comeback.
"He came in late in the third and he just got the ball to the right guys at the right time,'' West said. "And he hit big shot after big shot all game, and that's what it's about.
"And our scorers -- Vince and Dirk and Jet -- they put this team on their back.''
The game was tied 27-27 after the first period and 55-55 at the half before the Rockets started getting some separation in the third quarter when Luis Scola tallied 12 of his 18 points. But the Mavs showed they had plenty of fight left when the game was still there for the taking.
"It was definitely important to get this win tonight,'' center Brendan Haywood said. "Houston's a team that's fighting for one of those last playoff spots, so it was almost like a game that had a playoff-type atmosphere.
"It had playoff implications, so it was important that we got this one. Now we know that we're a couple of games away from locking this thing in and locking ourselves in the playoffs.''

Notebook: Mavericks 117, Rockets 110.
By Dave Ivey, for NBA.com.
"THE FACTS: Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter Wednesday, rallying the Dallas Mavericks to a 117-110 victory against the reeling Houston Rockets at the American Airlines Center. Dallas (35-28) completed a three-game sweep of the season series and handed Houston (32-30) its fifth consecutive loss.
Vince Carter scored a season-high 23 points, Jason Terry added 19 and Jason Kidd tallied 12 points and eight assists for the defending champions, who can clinch a return to the playoffs with a victory at home Friday against Golden State. Seven players scored in double figures for the Rockets, led by Goran Dragic with 20 points and 10 assists, Luis Scola with 18 points and Marcus Camby with 11 points and a game-high 17 rebounds.
QUOTABLE:
"We really needed the win and our guys weren't going to let it go."-- Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle.
THE STAT:
All four of Kidd's made baskets were from 3-point range (4-for-7). So far this season, 79 of his 99 field goals have come from behind the arc.
TURNING POINT:
Entering the game, Dallas was 3-24 when trailing after three quarters and Houston was 27-4 when it held the lead going into the fourth. This time, however, the Mavericks showed the finishing form that carried them to the title last season. They overwhelmed Houston with 39 points on 65 percent shooting (11-for-17) in the fourth quarter.
QUOTABLE II:
"It's tough now. We basically have to win out. We do have to win out.
... Now it's to the point where we are going to need some help. We've got handle our business first, though.
... We have to stay together. We can't start hanging our heads now, because as crazy as it sounds, it's not over yet."-- Rockets forward Chandler Parsons.
HOT:
Streaky shooting was contagious for Dallas. In addition to Nowitzki's 21-point fourth period, Carter scored the Mavericks' final 10 points of the first quarter, Terry scored 12 of their first 14 in the second quarter and Kidd drained three consecutive 3-pointers to close out the first half.
NOT:
After winning four straight games -- all on the road -- from April 2-9, the Rockets have dropped five in a row while allowing an average of 107.6 points per game. Houston is in a dogfight for the final playoff spot in the West with Phoenix and Utah.
GOOD MOVE:
Carter capped another vintage "Vinsanity" performance with an emphatic, two-handed putback slam with 5:31 remaining.
FANTASY SPOTLIGHT:
Nowitzki scored 31 in the second half, three shy of his own franchise record for a half set against Utah on Nov. 3, 2009. His back-to-back 3-pointers sparked a decisive 20-6 run in the fourth and he finished 10-for-18 from the field and 12-for-12 from the line (11-for-11 in the fourth quarter). It was his eighth 30-point game of the season.
INSIDE THE ARENA:
Technical difficulties with the sound system delayed the start of the game for several minutes. There was another audio outage during the second quarter.
ROOKIE WATCH:
Parsons scored 12 points on 4-for-13 shooting and added four rebounds and four assists.
NOTABLE:
Dallas guard Delonte West was fined $25,000 by the NBA for poking Utah forward Gordon Hayward in the ear Monday night.
... Terry drained his 1,784th career 3-pointer at the 11:22 mark of the second quarter, passing Chauncey Billups for fourth place on the NBA's all-time list.
... The Mavericks have had at least five players score in double figures in eight straight games.
... Carter needs one 3-pointer to reach 1,500 for his career.
... There were eight ties and 14 lead changes."

Warriors-Mavericks Preview.
By JEFF BARTL.
"The Dallas Mavericks need one victory to clinch a playoff berth. A home matchup with the injury depleted Golden State Warriors appears to provide the perfect opportunity.
The defending champions look to secure a return to the postseason and send Golden State to its season-high seventh straight loss Friday night at the American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks (35-28) snapped a two-game skid with a 117-110 win over Houston on Wednesday, moving them into sixth place in the Western Conference, one-half game ahead of Denver.
Dirk Nowitzki got off to a slow start, then scored 21 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter to help Dallas pull away.
"We really needed the win and our guys weren't going to let it go," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website.
Nowitzki has averaged 30.0 points over his last five games.
"Dirk put the team on his back," guard Delonte West said. "It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Dirk was a prime example of that."
The Mavericks would certainly like to get their ticket to the playoffs punched Friday, as they close the regular season with road games against playoff teams Chicago and Atlanta.
Nowitzki's hot stretch started with a 27-point effort in a 112-103 win at Golden State last Thursday, when the Mavericks' bench outscored the Warriors' 57-33.
David Lee had a game-high 30 points for Golden State in that contest, but he hasn't played since and has been shut down for the season with a strained groin.
The Warriors (22-39) have been without Stephen Curry since he sprained his right ankle March 11, and they were missing Andris Biedrins and Nate Robinson in a 99-87 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
Golden State has dropped six straight and 13 of 15.
"Some would perceive these to be dark days," coach Mark Jackson said. "I believe these are times to build character and hold on to the rope even tighter."
Klay Thompson scored a team-high 17 points Wednesday and had 24 in the last meeting with Dallas. He's averaging 18.3 points while starting the last 23 games since Curry's injury, often being guarded by the opposition's top defender.
"It's great experience, being doubled, grabbed and getting beaten up," Jackson said. "The great ones ... it's a complement. I think its valuable experience for him."
Including Thompson, the Warriors started four rookies Wednesday and will be looking at a similar lineup Friday. Jackson guaranteed a playoff appearance before the season began, but the rash of injuries has contributed to Golden State's problems.
A much different-looking Warriors team beat the Mavericks 111-87 on March 10, as Thompson scored 13 points off the bench, but Golden State hasn't had much luck on the road in this series of late. Dallas has won nine of the last 10 home meetings, including postseason."

For the Mavericks, Saturday vs. Bulls.
Mavericks-Bulls Preview.
By JEFF MEZYDLO.
"The final stretch of the regular season has not gone as smoothly as the Chicago Bulls had wanted.
Hoping to bounce back from their latest defeat without injured star Derrick Rose, the Bulls try to maintain their grasp on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference with a third consecutive win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.
Chicago's hold on the top seed and home-court advantage throughout the conference playoffs got a little looser with an 83-72 loss at Miami on Thursday to split the four-game season series between the teams.
The Bulls (47-16) have a 1 1/2-game lead over the Heat in the East, one in the loss column. Chicago has three games remaining, while Miami has four.
"Got to win, got to win," said Bulls guard Richard Hamilton, who was held to six points on 1-of-6 shooting Thursday after scoring 22 in each of the previous two contests. "Just take one game at a time. We have Dallas coming up and we have to figure out a way to win that game."
The Bulls likely must try to get that done without Rose for a fourth consecutive game because of a foot injury. Chicago is 17-9 without him during his injury-plagued season, including 3-4 in April.
There is a possibility that Rose, averaging 22.5 points and 7.9 assists, could return for Wednesday's game at Indiana.
"You deal with it like you deal with it all year," coach Tom Thibodeau said.
Third-string point guard John Lucas had a team-high 16 points Thursday as the Bulls shot 35.7 percent and were physically pushed around while scoring their fewest points of the season.
"This game will reveal certain things to us, things that need to be corrected, continue to strive for improvement, and we're not going to get caught up in (leads of) 1 1/2 games, 2 1/2 games or whatever," Thibodeau said. "Just keep doing the things we need to do to win, that's all we're focusing on.
"We get ready for Dallas."
Chicago beat the reigning NBA champs 82-77 at home in the most recent meeting Jan. 20, 2011. Playing without Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, the Bulls got 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds from Rose - the only Chicago player to score in double figures.
While Chicago looks to avoid dropping consecutive home games for the first time since a five-game skid March 1-19, 2010, the Mavericks (36-28) hope to avoid a third straight road defeat.
Dallas is coming off a pair of home victories after beating Golden State 104-94 on Friday. With two games remaining, the Mavericks are trying to hang on to the sixth seed in the West.
"We're playing as a cohesive unit out there," said guard Delonte West, who had 16 points against the Warriors.
Dirk Nowitzki averaged 30.0 points in the previous five games before scoring 16 on Friday in the Mavericks' home finale. He's averaged 30.4 points in his last five against the Bulls but finished with 19 on 6-of-16 shooting at Chicago last season."

For flat sheets, the usual ways of making fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) are random short fibre
placements, which have the disadvantage of discontinuities at fibre ends, and multi-layer laminates
of filament prepregs or 2D textile fabrics. For 3D shell structures, filament winding, press-forming
and fabric draping are used. Integral 3D fabrics are an attractive alternative. They can be made in a
variety of ways, but those most relevant to FRP bridges are woven fabrics consisting of (1) thick
multilayers linked by threads in the Z-direction either flat or (2) made in more complicated 3D
shapes, (3) hollow multilayer fabrics containing voids. Braids may also be used.
The advantages of 3D woven fabrics for composites are:
The paper will describe the structures that are available, design procedures and manufacturing
methods. The results of a case study for a small footbridge composed of three parts, the travel
surface made from floor beams, stringers and the deck, and two side-structures serving as girders.
The loading capacity of the bridge comes from the strengths of the floor beams, stringers and the
girders.

The last 65 years have seen a development of modelling of the structural mechanics of textiles at the same time as computation moved from primitive calculations to powerful software and hardware. The development of means of access to computing is described. Early work could only deal with numerical solutions at the end of analyses of simple, general models. Now it is possible to follow individual fibre elements in space and time. The paper reviews topics covered by myself and my associates in the University of Manchester and elsewhere after my retirement: fibre fine structure; yarn mechanics; fabric mechanics; product mechanics; and rope modeling. The final part of the paper discusses modeling for the 21st century, including the problem of the “virtual catwalk” and the development of software for 3D fabrics used in composites. In contrast to aesthetic design where computer aided design (CAD) has become the common mode, the industry has not taken to modeling for technical textiles. This means that there is a lack of creative interchange between academia and industry. CAD is bound to come, but it is not possible to say when and how.
3D textile structures provide many unique structural features that are of interest to the creation of advanced textile composite, these including the structural integrity, material continuity, versatility in fibre arrangement, dimensional control of the preforms and economy in manufacturing. Because of these features, 3D textiles as preforms for textile composites have caused much attention and 3D textile structures have been made based on various principles. This paper concentrates on 3D woven preforms, which are capable of being produced using the weaving technology widely available in the textiles sector. Design and manufacturing of 3D woven preforms with solid, hollow, shell and nodal geometries and their derivatives will be explained and their featured properties be examined. Case studies will be given to highlight the application of such 3D woven preforms..
TexEng Software Ltd enables you to
design 3D woven fabrics and program
their weaving machines for their
production. For more details, please send email to:

Most annoying characters on TV right now, agree or agree?
Ellis on Smash (left) Ashley on Revenge (right)
Thoughts on the latest ‘Glee’
- LAWD, so many feels at the latest Glee episode. For starters, they didn’t exactly do Whitney any justice, especially with their remixed techno Lizzie McGuire sounding covers of Whitney classics. I’m so not here for Quinn/Joe, seriously can the writers just leave Quinn’s love life the fuck alone? OVER IT.
- Meanwhile, Klaine was interesting, finally Blaine was less vanilla and got a little edge to him, not counting his obvious daddy issues he has with his brother. But still way to act fucking crazy and accuse Kurt of cheating, but still I’d be pissed too if my man was texting back to a flirting hipster Tyler Oakley.
- I want my Samcedes back!! Will needs to seriously find another hobby, and adult friends! His entire life is Glee. So sad. And can he stop controlling Emma so much!? ALL THE TEARS at Burt and Kurt.
- Here for Rachel/Santana friendship. Darren Criss looked hot, and the only thing I got from teen Jesus and Sam talking was Chord’s arms.
Thoughts on the latest ‘Smash’
- How long are they going to continue with Rebecca being an insufferable character? We get it! She has new ideas constantly, and gives her input on everything, can they try something different?
- I actually found the Karen & Rebecca friendship interesting, and Karen being a secret lesbian would make her character 100% less bland.
- It was nice to see Dev finally perform, but seriously what crack was Karen on to imagine that Bollywood number!?
- I’ve always been secretly rooting for Ivy, but if they want to make me hate her, then sure pair her with Ellis.
- Eileen finally got some, get it gurl!
- Leo unfortunately came home, that’s all I got from that final scene.

Discussion in 'Conference Realignment Board' started by nelsonmuntz, May 23, 2012.
If we are to accept the OP's premise, then this is the answer plus USF, Navy, ND.
Just to nitpick here, but nobody killed themselves to throw money at Houston, SMU and UCF when they were playing UAB, UTEP, Marshall and others. I'm assuming the big reason they joined this franken-conference in the first place is that they believed they would get more when playing UConn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Louisville, etc. Same with Boise State.
In a similar vein, nobody was throwing money at TCU in the Mountain West but it sure seems like a lot of people are throwing money at them now as a part of the B12. Obviously it isn't quite the same differential with us as it is with them but the same premise applies.
And it has the added benefit of sticking the BB onlies with this odd conglomeration of schools.
Kinda a crappy thing to do the incoming schools though. (Not that I wouldn't jump at the chance to be in a stable, sensible conference.)
I don't disagree with your statement but I'll add a second part to it. If I learned 2 things the second would be that live sports are the future of television advertising and people are willing to throw incredible amounts of money at them.
Oops. I saw the title to the thread and thought someone was looking ahead to another BCS bowl game or NCAA hoops tournament.
The current ACC deal is for $155MM per year, or $13MM per team per year. Try "the google". ESPN recently announced that the contract was adjusted to $17MM per school per year, but I would be shocked if that deal was signed given the ACC's problems.
I think every one of your conclusions is almost 100% wrong. Texas A&M and Missouri are not in the SEC for football history and tradition. John Calipari will have more Final Fours vacated in the next 3 years than Texas A&M and Missouri have in combined BCS and Final Four appearances in their history.
With the exception of a few years under McPherson and early in Pasqualoni's tenure, Syracuse has been a pillar in mediocrity for 5 decades, occasionally lapsing into bad football during that time. Colorado has sucked since McCartney stopped recruiting gang members from Watts. Utah had a couple of recent BCS appearances and a Final Four, but more importantly, it was located in one of the fastest growing states in the country.
Anyone having MD leaving for anywhere other than the SEC or Big 10 is silly. They'd owe the ACC $20 million, and they haven't got $20.
All that may be left of the ACC in the end is BCU, Duke, Wake and Syracuse.
Virginia, Maryland, UNC and... ND to the Big10.
NC St and VT to the SEC.
Clemson, Miami, G Tech, FSU, Pitt and BYU to the B12.
BE would have to reconsider what the hell to do in such a scenario. Stay with the coast to coast league. Split from the basketball schools? Kick out the new additions and invite the 3 ACC remainders?
Absolutely right; schools that were not a big media draw before will not suddenly become a viewership magnet because they are in a conference with other mostly similar schools.
OK, NBC needs sports programming but they need it less than they need losses. NBC and other networks may occasionally overpay but for the most part they will see what programming can generate as far as advertising and they bid accordingly.
The problem that more college FB programming faces is that there are already many options in the prime viewing times, say noon to 9/10PM on Saturday so NBC having a BE FB game on in that time period means that game will have to draw viewers away from the other more established conferences. Tieing a BE game to their ND game may help but people do channel surf and soon many of the ND viewers will be elsewhere either before or after the ND game.
ConnHuskBask,
I am not going to quote your whole post, but two thoughts:
1) The ACC contract that was SIGNED is for an average of $155/year for 10 years, or $13MM/school/year. ESPN announced that they had upped it to $17MM/school/year with the addition of Syracuse and Pitt, after the ACC agreed to throw a lot of new content into the deal. ESPN is under no obligation to renegotiate anything. There is an ASSUMPTION by some, that ESPN has factored in membership changes into the ACC deal, which is why it came in so light relative to the schools involved.
2) The championships you speak of with Pitt and Syracuse were decades ago. TCU and Utah have some recent success, as does WVU. The Texas A&M national title in football was during the war buildup prior to World War II. I had to look it up because I didn't realize they had ever won anything. You are right, that title is why the SEC took them. Missouri has been historically terrible at football, and they have the most NCAA Tournament appearances without a Final Four. Good work.
A little off-topic but just heard Ed Cunningham over at College Football Live calling for "cooler heads" to prevail to stop the ACC defections and saying that ND and Texas will always be more valuable commodities than the others so if your making less money you should "get over it". Don't know what that has to do with anything but boy did he sound desperate. "The idea that the ACC is dead is ridiculous to me."
After more thought, if the scenario does play out, I'm now inclined to let BCU rot in hades and pay for their crimes and bring UMass into the conference.
Initially, I was hung up on old Big East stuff BCU had done for the conference < 2003 as well as a new Prez and AD to work with . However, thoses days are long gone and BCU is damaged goods and the only positive in taking them back at this juncture would be that we took them back from the acc, which may not be saying a lot it's blown to smithereens as I hope it is. If this conference is going to succeed it must focus on moving forward than going backwards. And bringing BCU back is going backwards. Let them stew in what they did.
The BIG EAST conference without proper representation from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a conference with a lost identity. UMass, because it's New England and because it's foaming at the mouth to be included on the college athletic map is a better addition than memphis, ucf, smu, houston sdsu and bringing back BCU will ever be. All it needs is the same venue with new leadership that UConn, RU, Cuse and alike have had to elevated their profiles; named the Big East Conference
Bringing the Flagship university of Massachusetts into the conference will undoubtedly elevate high school football in the state and is a better match up for the conference and UConn. High school players will aspire to play in the Big East. Currently, UConn is the only regional Big East option. Now with UMass as an option, it raises the competition bar for talent and forces UConn to step its game up.
In the south where college football has replaced cotton as king, high school championships are played in pro stadiums. Playing games in pro stadiums is big time and a big difference in the minds of kids. For UMass to play its 6-7 home games on the same field as the Patriotss is a big deal.
Perception wise UMass may not have the cache of other programs. But given a Big East invite, the outcomes may be as strong.
Huge upside.
It's a mathetmatical sleight of hand. The word backloaded was used over and over (like the PAc-12 it's a 6% yearly escalator contract) . By my calcs that extra $4 million a year broke down half and half like so. $30 million of that $60 million is in the back end years that pay approx $22 mil, $23 mil and $24 mil each year. That's $30 million higher than a simple $13 mil average in those 3 years. The rest, $2 mil a year, is new money based on rights concessions.

A round of plain stockinette should not take a full week, but this one did. Hey, I've been busy. I had company, I got a new job, "South Park" was on, the sun was in my eyes, Dolores and Victorine are sewing costumes in the living room and Harry choked on a bugle bead, there are nine hundred unread e-mails in my box...you know, the usual.
As I prepare to begin the edging, it seems appropriate to pause and commit to electronic immortality the lessons I have learned while working the center square and borders.
- Knitting swatches is vital to the success of a lace project.
- Knitting swatches is a waste of time, because swatches fucking lie.
- Do not knit from the center of a center-pull ball of laceweight. It will snarl beyond rescue, and you will attempt to kill the next person you see.
- You can never use too many stitch markers.
- Keep your work-in-progress away from colored liquids, Velcro, curious toddlers, grabby old women, chocolate, spring rain, airport security, zippers, smokers, and the rear deltoid machine at the gym.
- Ted was right. Don't count rows, count pattern repeats. If you count rows, you will stop knitting entirely and stare out the window at all the people walking by who are not knitting lace, and try to imagine a time when you, too, will not be knitting lace, and decide this time will never come, and consider stabbing yourself with both ends of your Addi Turbo.
- The road to Hell is paved with nupps.
- At some point, you will be tempted to just bind off and call it a doily.
- If you set about counting a round of 840 stitches without first clearing the room of friends and family, go ahead and call the ambulance first. It will save time later on.
- A large lace project will teach you that you are much more of an idiot, and far more clever, than you ever suspected.

Lace knitting ending and a new job?
Lace knitting ending and a new job!
Type on this entry should be in red! :)
laceweight + center pull ball = ax murder...
(Details on the new job would be lovely, too.)
Congratulations on completing the center of the shawl, starting a new job, and everything else that's good in your life.
And thanks for the tips. I've yet to undertake lace knitting, but I sure feel more prepared for it now!
Saddly, I've already learned number three the hard way. I fear that project may never be finished.
And do you really think you can casually drop a reference to a new job and not get pestered for all the details?
I don't remember reading about a four-poster bed, let alone a new job ...
WTF, a new job? I knew you were a tease, my boy, but that is just cruel.
Tell, tell tell!!!
(Congratulations on the lace. Now I'm scared to start some, but that's probably just as well).
Yay for you 'Frank' ( i see your visitor called you that..in my mind you are Franklin still :P )
You must feel like you've climbed a lace mountain!
You like opera? have you seen this utube?
It's incredible
As always, i love how your writing is true.
I am sooo glad the lace shawl I'm knitting is really a rectangular stole. There may be more rows, but at least none of them is 900 stitches long!
I, too, am dying to hear about the new job!!
I can't think of anyone more deserving of a new job, with the possible exception of Dubya. Congrats. (Oh, wait, it's all of us who deserve a new job for Dubya.)
"Woo hoo--congratulations!" says she who has never managed to finish a lace project that wasn't a dishcloth.
I swear, I shall never, ever, ever knit lace around curious toddlers or grabby old women. Which latter may be difficult, as I'm well on my way to becoming a grabby old woman. Congrats on ending the center! Is this anything like contemplating a mandala???
And yowsa, poor David; but it sounds like you took good care of him once you got hold of him. [g]
You got a new job?!?? GIVE! *kof* Please? ;)
I assume Dolores broke the old bed (accounting for the new one) and admire your tact in not putting forth the details.
A new job? Tease!!! You know we need to know a at least a little about that.
I seriously didn't know about center pull ball and laceweight, although I doubt that's the problem I have knitting with a cobweb.
Congrats on all the accomplishments and on foiling murder by Addi.
Were the grabby old woman hanging around the rear-deltoid machine at the gym? If so, I'd like to introduce them to some gawking old geezers who hang out at my gym. I swear I'm going to put googly eys on my workout shirts.
Woohoo! New job! Congrats.
Well, I have remembered the cryptic remark about the meeting with the bosses and how you never followed up on it. It has been nagging at me since and I knew at some point you'd make a reference that would clarify the situation. You have. I want to hear all about it.
I have learned some of your points from my daughter, Jen, because I'm too wussy to start a lace project.
Congratulations on your new situation and the new "company" and your entire life. I look forward to meeting you at SM (that's Stitches Midwest, thanks)
Margaret from Tex
What new job?
New job? Thought you'd just sneak that one past us, huh? Like we wouldn't notice?
Congrats on the lace and on the job! I just ordered yarn for two Glencora-like projects today.
What's that? Don't pull from the center of a pull ball? Gee, wish I had said that.
Hey, wait, I did!
How wonderful that you knitted one shawl. It will be a great family heirloom when passed to the next niece or nephew.
NEW JOB?! Where are the details?
We'd love to see the completed shawl--I'm sure it's going to be breathtakingly gorgeous.
Congratulations on completing a bunch of life stages!
--Judy
Oh nice. New job, visitor, near-death-experience-with-a-bugle-bead and you leave us hanging? Thanks.
I'm in the midst of my first real lace experience and would only add that if you're knitting with cobweb-weight yarn, put on glasses whether you wear them or not. You'll need them by the time the project is over (if not by the end of the 3rd row).
Congrats on the lace!
Yonkele! Congrats on the new job! I hope it brings you closer to nirvana.
I'm afraid to ask -- is it in Chicago?
I shall cry.
even with out the pictures, i am SO proud of you...plus i know the pictures are comming soon to a blog near you

OOOO -- so anxious I am to see your gorgeeous lace (before you send it off and with then with baby!) A new job! How exciting!!!
Congratulations! Both on the shawl and the new job! And best of luck with the borders and the new employment.
New job? Congrats!
#3 is painfully true. Not so long ago I threw a skein and project still on needles across the room and swore like a sailor to my husband ("Throw the damn stuff out, it's not worth it!!") Bless him, he sat for the rest of the evening picking out the knots and rewound the ball and told me I wasn't to touch it until my demeanor was a little nicer (the yarn is still in its baggie untouched).
I agree with you on the nupps too. Shoot, I agree with you on all the points.
A new job? Is it promising?
And that bit about no such thing as too many markers also saves you from the one involving counting 840 stitches.
Do not knit from the center of a center-pull ball of laceweight. It will snarl beyond rescue, and you will attempt to kill the next person you see.
This was the very first lesson I learned about lace knitting. :-( Well, right after learning that I couldn't be relied on to count to five consistently....
Sherri
So I can forgive you for not wishing me a happy birthday then, if you done went out and got a new job that isn't soul-sucking and horrible. I'm thrilled for you.
Clever idiots are the best kind. Idiotic clever people, however...
:-)
You did NOT count the rows. Please tell me you did not count the rows. Ouch.
So, when are you starting your next lace project?!
Thanks for the tip about not pulling from the center of the ball with lace-weight yarn...I'm about to start my first lace item (a simple tunic), and I would have done that automatically...
Holla that to the nupps comment. Gee wiz, I mean, they look fantastic, but man are they tiresome.
I bet there's some kind of lace-related koan.
India
Knitting swatches don't lie. They just don't behave the way you think they should. But that's why you work them.
I'm sure there's some huge spiritual lesson in that, somewhere.
New job? Spill it, dude.
I've never understood the whole center pull concept. I knit from the outside so it doesn't collapse on itself halfway-through. I mean, really, what's supposed to support a half-knitted ball of yarn if you've pulled the yarn from the center? You're just asking for a snarl. Knit from the outside, and the ball just gets smaller but doesn't collapse. (I knit for years before I even realized that other people knit from the center.)
LOL!!! Loved the list. Only you could make the pain feel so good! ;-)
Sneak. The new job thing totally slipped past me.
What? The lace is complete and there's no pictures...what's up??
Thanks for the link to nupps, btw, they look like something suitable to focus my OCD on...
Okay, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who picked up on the new job thing. I kept looking at recent posts thinking, "Did I miss something?" Evidentally, I wasn't the only one! Spill, baby!
And while you are at it, I'm job searching too (first big one after the SAHM years), so send some good job vibes this way! :-)
You certainly made me laugh! Every single one of them is true as can be! ask me how I know!
Wow congrats on new job, can't wait to hear more. And this whole list made me laugh. Fair warning for my inevitable eventual descent into lace. RE: counting stitches -- I read the section from the Yarn Harlot's book on not being interrupted when counting stitches and now my husband always says "The dryer's on fire!" when he hears me counting.
Also good to know not to pull lace yarn from the center. For the person who asked why you would ever pull from the center -- for non-lace, where you want the yarn to be fully relaxed, pulling the yarn from the center helps the yarn to further relax as it squooshes into the center. Also it doesn't roll around when you pull more out. Works great for sock yarn.
Tea - keep your lace away from your tea, particularly if you take sugar in it!
My lace has survived sugared tea (only just), velcro, university, camping, grass seeds from camping, my cat and grabby toddlers, teenages and old people, and a centrepull ball.
It's still only halfway there
Um, yeah, new job. Details, please.
Congrats on the new job - and what it is about NYC to Chicago or Chicago to NYC that seems to lure all the air travel gremlins out to play hell with our plans? I mean, in theory it's a painless 2 hr. flight, but it almost never seems to go that way...
For your next lace project, try the new Addi Lace needles -- much pointier, sharper, and more dangerous.
Well done Franklin, I knew you had it in you:)
And what new job? Enquiring minds need to know
Congratulations and bravo on the advice. Please say the new job has something to do with a book.
NEW JOB!! NEW JOB??!! I hope this brings as much mental relief as I suspect it will. And I hope it is a rewarding persuit!
And what a milestone — finishing a lace shawl. Bravo!
Amen to #3! I have often questioned the wisdom of always working from a center pull. Can't stand the resulting yarn barf and expletives.
I love #2 and #10 too. :) The muggles just don't understand our sense of pride and accomplishment in *finishing* a challenging project.
New job! Details, Franklin, details!
Please say it's in Chicago. I'll be terribly disappointed to find out that I'm moving to Chicago but I won't get to meet you.
Linda
Dude! You got a new job? I hope it's a zillion times better. Now dish! (See, the news pulled me out of lurkdom.)
#7... so true! After the swallowtail shawl, I'm looking to trade my lily-of-the-valley pattern for ANYTHING!!!
Great list and HURRAY on the job!!!
I disagree completely with #4, but the rest of the list had me in stitches (no pun intended). Congratulations on the shawl milestone!
P.S. Looking forward to reading the scoop on your new job.
As I begin my 1st lace project I appreciate your honest lessons learned!
Although I think I already knew the truth about swatches, the bastards.
Can't wait to see a pic of your shawl.
OK - regarding the new job, think the 5 Ws: who what where when why?
ALL o' us inkwiring minds need to know. You realize too, do you not, we're perched white-knuckled at our keyboards waiting to see pictures of the lace? It'll inspire some of us to try knitting lace - and the rest to return to the comfort of our warshrags...
Franklin, you're a really smart man and so I think I'll take your expertise to heart and save risking myself to the lace grief.
The rear deltoid machine at the gym? I shudder...
New job: all the gory details, please.
Great list! You are a very wise person -- like one of those yogis sitting on a mountaintop, but with lace. :)
Ahem. A new job?
Have I mentioned how much I love reading your blog? I may have, but in the event I have not, let me just say, I love reading your blog. I love it when you leave your posts up for a day or two. I love to come back and re-read them. "Just bind off and call it a doily" was the total crack-up line for me this time. But it was all the fun leading up to it, and following, that I also truly enjoy. Thanks, thanks, thanks for another wonderful read. MaryB
I thought I was the only one with the nupp issue!
I have one to add to your list: keep you knitting away from large breed puppies. At 13 weeks they are tall enough to reach your lap without leaving the floor.
Which would be why I have gotten exactly 4 rows of the mohair lace done in the last month.
Sigh.
Thanks for the list of lessons learned - really helpful as I'm in the middle of my first shawl project.
So does the new job have anything to do with Stitches Midwest? Not that we're curious or anything. But it would be wonderful if it was fiber related. I'm glad you're free of the JFH.
Yep. Pattern repeats, not rows. Especially when you're working on 500 plus stitches.
Whoa, whoa! Back up the horse! New JOB? Spill.
Oh, Franklin. Raising my needles to you in solidarity...got some lace going on over here, chock full o'nupps. (And hey, where did you sneak the nupps in, anyway? I don't remember them being part of your original plan...)
Knit on, brother.
Yessir - I totally lost it on "The road to hell is paved with nupps"
I want that put on my headstone. Nupps are only on every third entrelac rectangle of the(otherwise quite lovely) Forest Path Stole. I'd cringe as I started each and every one of those rectangles. I guess I finally learned enough to LOOSELY add those stitches on the prior row, but I still did an ecstatic jig when the final nupp was done.
Good luck on the edging.
I have not yet tried a large lace knitting project, but reading your entries is both petrifying and educational. Today I learned about nupps! (thank you for providing the click through - these tiny things mean so much to me!) congrats on the new job!!!
you have too many comments for me to see if someone has already suggested the addi lace turbos for your lace knitting. It makes the nupp-ing SO MUCH MORE pleasant. I hated the nupps. i was cursing Nancy Bush for making such beautiful Estonian lace patterns that I wanted to re-create but was getting hand cramps from dealing with all those effing nupps. Seriously. They make nupps almost enjoyable.
Your lace knitting rules are exactly correct, though I am sure the list itself is a work in progress. Thanks very much for your blog; it is a pleasure to read.
I think I would have gone crazy knitting all that lace.
Absolutely true--but so well said. That comment alone should get you not just a job, but an advance for your next (first?) book.
Congratulations- it must feel soooo good to be done! And it will feel even better to see it used :)
You are a wise man. Nupps are a tool of satan.
I laughed so hard at your list. Thanks for the warning, because I am about to unleash the monster under the bed...that is, the laceweight stash. Mother help us.
"Bind off and call it a doily" just cracked me up!
I always have to stock up on stichmarkers when I knit lace, different colors and I need a chart just to remember what they are there to remind me of.
Pretty effective piece of writing, thanks for the post.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Great Lakes freighters carried less cargo in 2012 compared to 2011.
That's according to the annual report released Friday by Ohio-based Lake Carriers' Association.
U.S.-flag ships working on the Great Lakes carried 89.5 million tons of the dry-bulk cargo last year, which is down 4.6 percent from 2011. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports ( ) it's also down 1.5 percent from the five-year average of 90.8 million tons.
Iron ore shipments dropped 4.3 percent from 2011 but the total was above the five-year average of 42 million tons.
Coal shipments fell to 17.6 million tons last year, below the five-year average of 22.5 million tons.
The decline has been partly attributed to the phasing out of Canadian coal-fired electrical plants.
Cement and limestone shipments were slightly ahead of the five-year average.

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the legendary 'Tokyo Tapes'. Recorded on 24 & 27th April 1978, released in late 1978 in Europe. Ever since it has become a true landmark of live Heavy Metal albums. Considered by many as THE greatest live metal album of all times.
For ages there's been rumours about Pro-shot footage on Herman Rarebell vaults.
It was released back in the day on 2 LP, and in Japan it was specially packaged with an amazing insert that can be viewed here:
Also, this year marks the 30th Anniversary of the US Festival 1983. On 29th May Scorpions stole the show and became legends in the USA.
I'd love the band to open their vaults at last !!! it would be GREAT to have those footages at last, and also the missing songs of Tokyo Tapes like 'Catch Your Train', 'Hell cat', that jam, etc. A remix (NOT BRICKWALLED and OVER EQ'D PLEASE) would be wonderful.
Please Scorpions, do something with 'Tokyo Tapes 35th anniversary' and 'US Festival 1983, 30th anniversary' this year !!!!

Allie's not big into leisurely jaunts. All too often, when I take her for a walk, she gets a funny (evil?) glint in her eye and proceeds to grab her leash with her mouth. Occasionally, she simply holds it as we walk along together. More often, though, she pulls in the direction opposite the way we're traveling in an effort to start a game of sidewalk tug-of-war.
Because I consider a tranquil walk with one's dog to be one of life's greatest joys, Allie's efforts to pump up the volume during our walks used to really bug me. I'd get impatient, I'd get angry, I'd try to get her to let go of the leash by giving her the "drop it" cue (which she would ignore) -- all of which seemed to spur her into holding onto the leash, shaking it and otherwise working harder to get me to play with her.
The funny thing is, for the longest time I didn't realize her desire to play was what was prompting her leash-grabbing. She wasn't trying to be obnoxious. She wasn't trying to be difficult. She simply wanted me to play her favorite game with her, and was suggesting that we do so in the only way she knew how. Unfortunately, I was too busy being annoyed with her to listen, much less respond appropriately.
How often do our dogs try to tell us something, only to find that we don't understand what they're trying to communicate--or worse, that we don't even try to understand? How often, conversely, do we shove own agendas down their throats without even realizing that we're doing so? How often do we miss opportunities to really connect with our dogs because we're too busy doing something else? How often do we really pay attention? How often are our relationships with our dogs more like one-way streets in which we set the agenda? How often do we give them a chance to do so?
These days, when Allie plays the leash-grabbing game, I respond very differently from the way I used to. If I'm not in the mood to play, I just keep the leash slack, and refrain from looking at her. When I do that, she understands pretty quickly that tug is not going to happen right now, drops the leash, and we continue on our way. Other times, though, I'll use my special Allie voice (sort of like baby-talk, but not really) and ask her, "Allie, are you feeling evil? Are you The Evil One?" and let her pull the leash a little bit. Sometimes we both stand still while she tugs; other times we continue walking while we play.
In any case, there's no more negativity or impatience from me when Allie asks to play sidewalk tug. That said, I'm glad we've got a durable leather leash.
Video Update on Lilly’s Brain Inflammation

Love this post. I have to be careful about such requests turning into non-stop attention seeking behaviors, but I do try to say "Yes" to many of Lilly's requests because she so often says "Yes" to mine.
P.S.
Remember clueless man who tried to train his dogs at my dogs' expense? Saw him again today. Managed to get the dogs inside w/o too much fuss, but then I watched him White Knuckle it, one dog in each hand, on their walk. And, I thought ... that doesn't look like fun for either of them.
Yuck. Poop puppies!
It must be frustrating for dogs to try to communicate with humans and have their messages ignored.
I resolve to do better.
Me, too, Jan. I sometimes think that if our dogs could speak English, they'd give us quite a lecture about our lack of communications skills.
And Roxanne, I meant to say "poor" puppies, not "poop" puppies :)
Bailey used to grab the leash also. I wonder if it's a Golden thing?
I don't think she was trying to initiate play, though. My daughter pointed out once she always did it halfway during our circular walk. She did this when we lived in Albuquerque, and then repeated it here. I assumed it was her way of saying, "I know the way from here, let me show you."
Sometimes I'd just let go and lay the leash on her back, and off she'd prance. It gave passersby a laugh.
Maybe it is a Golden thing, Kathy. I'm glad you could let Bailey run on ahead; in our NoVA suburban neighborhood, I wouldn't dare. When we go to a nearby park, though, I let her run ahead on the path -- and we practice our recalls :)
My Labs also do this, usually towards the end of our walks. The oldest will take hold of the leash of the next oldest, and so on. Now that we're down to two dogs, there's not a train of Labs heading to the door.
Gracie also grabs her leash when we go to the vet, as if to say, "Yes, I know the way in, and I know the way out."
Well, maybe it's just a very short train of Labs, Linda ;-)

Hubris and Humility: Christian Perplexity at the Pluralism of Faith
by S Parvez Manzoor
Dead are theories of racial superiority; dying are notions of cultural exclusivism, but alive and well are claims of religious uniqueness. What is superstition to biology and taboo to anthropology is not anathema to the church. The scientist possesses no value-judgment, the academic shuns it but the man of faith lives for his values. To his opponents, he is a norm unto himself, an incarnation of his own supreme value, hubris. Self-worship not self-denial, they charge, is the hallmark of religious faith.
Submission to the call of a higher authority, however, is the essence of faith. No religious consciousness is worthy of its name if it does not humble itself before the Other. In the realm of faith, the Other commands and the self obeys; Other is the Lord and self is the servant. Humility, then, lies at the heart of religion and gives sustenance to the life of faith. Hence, if faith is its own mistress, it also rides an unruly and recalcitrant conscience.
Perhaps no other religious tradition is as plagued by the paradox of humility and hubris as the church of Rome which is (was) both imperial and catholic. And no other contemporary thinker testifies to the resources and constraints of the Catholic intellect and conscience as the Swiss theologian and clergymen, Hans Küng. For, despite his banishment (In 1979, over a row on the question of infallibility, Rome withdrew its license (missio canonica) and denied Küng the right to teach as a Catholic theologian), Hans Küng has pursued without interruption his academic career at the university of Thbingen. He has also continued to behave as ‘a priest of the Ecclesia catholica’ and ‘teach the Christian truth in Catholic breadth and depth’. Nor does Küng have, even after a lapse of 15 years, any compunctions about describing his life’s mission as ‘the teaching of the Catholic doctrine as a Catholic priest.’
A man of immense erudition, energy and humanity, Hans Küng, more than any other German-speaking theologian, has been instrumental in shaping the English-speaking world’s perceptions of the Catholic faith. In fact, Küng’s theological and moral reflections extend far beyond his ecclesiastical concerns. Despite his estrangement from the Church, he has taken upon himself the role of the intellectual spokesman of Catholic Christianity and conducted on this basis a series of very intense and earnest dialogues with all the major challengers to the Catholic doctrine, viz. philosophy, science, ethics, Judaism and other non-Christian faiths. His creativity, vigour and endurance have been truly amazing. He is as prolific as he is profound and original.
The volume, Hans Küng: New Horizon for Faith and Thought, was dedicated to Küng in 1993 when he celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday. It is not a Festschrift in the customary manner, nor does it provide to the uninitiated reader an introduction to his life and thought. On the contrary, it is a very erudite and demanding book which presupposes familiarity not only with Küng’s own works but also with the debate that surrounds them. As a ‘workbook’, it probes, with rigour and profundity, the wider theological, philosophical, ethical and anthropological implications of Küng’s faith and teachings and thus provides the serious student a convenient entry point to the contemporary debate in Christianity. Despite its omission of certain articles and the abbreviation of the complete bibliography that appeared in the original German edition, the present volume does supply the English reader with a more than adequate and relevant list of Hans Küng’s writings.
The structure of the book follows Küng’s own intellectual itinerary and contains the following signposts: ‘Church; Catholicity; The Ecumenical World [the common Christian umma]; Christology and the Doctrine of God [Trinity, Incarnation etc.]; Dialogues with Judaism; World Religions; and Effects [Cross-cultural dialogue].’ The editors liken the plan of the book to ‘seven concentric circles’ where one progressively moves outward from the centre (the church) to Catholicity, to Christian unity, to dialogues with Judaism and other religions, till one reaches the outermost edge, the non-religious world. Notwithstanding the high intellectual calibre of the individual pieces, it goes without saying that much of what the volume contains is not of interest to the Muslim reader. Indeed, some of it is incomprehensible as well! By contrast, the only Muslim contribution, by Abdoljavad Falaturi, is relatively slim and meagre in form (9 pages) but incommensurably richer in substance and meaning.
Besides being a critical survey of the contemporary religious and theological debate in which Hans Küng’s thought serves as the pivot, the book has another, more practical, aim: ‘the rehabilitation of Hans Küng as a Catholic theologian’! It is in this regard that such human sentiments, nay passions, are unabashedly made public as: “Küng’s theology has drawn and still draws on the seed-bed of his own church, in which - much to the sorrow of some of his opponents - he has put down viable roots.” Otherwise, there are petitions to the supreme authority of the Church: “Holy Father!... We appeal to your responsibility and your conscience: make good a wrong that has been done! Do not leave the rehabilitation of Küng to history! Make your personal action a blessing for the church!”. Even to the outsider, however, the following rhetorical question, posed by Heinrich Fries, is not without significance: “Is the Catholic church so narrow that it cannot tolerate a man like Küng, or is it so rich that it can dispense with him?”
Not all the topics treated in this immensely rich and rewarding work, it has been suggested earlier, merit the Muslim reader’s close attention. Quite exceptional, then, is the solitary but sterling contribution by Abdoljavad Falaturi which reflects on the problem of ‘Christian Theology and the Western Understanding of Islam’. To start with, Falaturi’s immediate response to Hans Küng’s recent work, Christianity and World Religions (English edition: Collins, London, 1987; paperback re-issue by SCM Press, London, 1993) which claims to be a ‘dialogue with Islam’ is that ‘it is not a dialogue with Islam but with Islamic scholars’ (Exclusively Western but most notably Josef van Ess). Hans Küng, in other words, has yet to carry out his dialogue with Islam. His forthcoming book on Islam, one feels, should give an indication of whether Küng intends to encounter ‘Islam’ through the mediation of a living Muslim scholar or whether he will continue to rely on his Orientalist mentors.
Falaturi, on his part, does not deliver a critique of Küng’s book, or dwell on its individual faults. Instead, he concentrates on its ambition to act ‘as a model example of both an apt Western understanding of Islam and a well-disposed Christian theological position on it.’ Unfortunately, the basic moral prerequisites of a ‘dialogue of religions and cultures’, namely ‘the attempt to understand conversation partners as they understand themselves’ and, on a religious level, the inner preparedness ‘to concede that the love and mercy of God is also to be found among those of other faiths and is not present only among those who share one’s own beliefs’, are not always present in Western/Christian responses to Islam. Far more pervasive are cultural and emotional factors, the negative attitudes towards each other from the starting point, which render every Christian-Muslim dialogue a truly daunting experience.
Even more problematic and frustrating is the situation on the academic, particularly theological, level. For, Falaturi makes it perfectly clear that ‘in their present form and status the phenomenology of religion and comparative religion are a specifically Western achievement, and the scientific vocabulary developed to this end is not value-neutral. The necessary concepts, propositions and arguments have been derived predominantly from Christian theology and Western spiritual life or have been oriented on new forms of it.’ (His italics. One may further underscore this point by noting that one of the ‘classics’ of phenomenology of religion, Rudolf Otto’s paradigmatic The Idea of the Holy (First published in 1917; English translation published by Oxford University Press, 1923, Re-issue, Pelikan Books, 1959) appears, to the unconditioned Muslim reader at least, as an undisguised apology of the Christian doctrine. Indeed, even later phenomenolgists are not free from the Christian bias. See our review of W.C. Smith’s What is Scripture? in MWBR, XIV:4 (Summer 1994), pp 3-8.)
The main problem of the dialogue, and the logical starting-point of any phenomenological discussion, Falaturi believes, should be the realization that religious phenomena and religious experiences do not belong to easily transferable mental categories. Hence, due recognition must be given to the fact that Christianity and Islam present two different models of faith, each of which has its own significant claim. Falaturi then delineates his own phenomenological portrait of Islam as ‘the firm conviction that the revealed guidance corresponds as a light to that “orientation on God” which God has given on their way to human beings, as the only vehicles of the divine Spirit, by their justly created nature (fitra), is of decisive significance for the Islamic system of faith; here is a consistent correspondence between creation and revelation. So guidance is not something forced on human beings from outside. Rather, within the framework of divine mercy it is a necessity without which human being will not be in a position to attain the highest goal, the presence of God.’ The point, quite simply is that Guidance as God’s mercy is to Islam what divine love and salvation are to Christianity. ‘Neither of them’, he asserts further, ‘can be transferred to the other.’
According to Falaturi, these fundamental phenomenological difference entail that apart from the completely irreconcilable christologies of Islam and Christianity, even other central concepts such as scripture, faith, religion, prophecy etc. take on different meanings. Thus, while scripture in Christian theology largely looses its significance under the shadow of Jesus, in Islam, as a manifestation of God’s mercy and guidance ‘it represents the possibility of being addressed directly by God and thus of experiencing God consciously anew.’ Another point of capital importance in any Christian-Muslim dialogue is the fundamental rejection of the biblical accounts of prophecy on the part of the Qur’an which, in Falaturi’s opinion, ‘should give a historian freed from the pressures of apologetics occasion to revise the ill-considered thesis that the Qur’an is written off by the Bible.’
Consistent with the phenomenological and dialogical sensitivity is Falaturi’s observation that Islamic theology has developed no vocabulary for a scientific assessment of other religions. Regrettably, he notes further, Muslim theologians are not fully cognizant of the otherness of Christian theology, ‘which to the present has spread its wings into all the humanities.’ Nor do they have any inkling of its spiritual power, its scope and its massive involvement with the dynamics and problems of the secular world. Hence, not only with a view to a fruitful dialogue but also in its own interest, even if purely academic, Islamic theology need to enter a new scientific phase and familiarize itself with Christian theology. Few thinking Muslims will, of course, dispute this conclusion.
Even if Hans Küng’s pioneering work Christianity and the World Religions, concludes Falaturi, is not a dialogue in that there is no conversation in it with the living representatives of Islam, it does have an attraction of its own: Islam - seen from outside - is presented in the categories of Western thought and there are reflections on it from the perspective of Christian theology. Thus, ‘despite all the resentment that Muslims may nurse at such an attempt, the achievement and significance of the work remains undisputed.’ The disturbing aspects of the study emanate not so much from the perception of Hans Küng the Catholic theologian as from that of Hans Küng the representative of Western Machtmensch who declares without the least compunction: ‘But let us admit that Islam continues for us primarily alien, politically and economically more threatening than Hinduism or Buddhism, and at any rate a phenomenon which we find it difficult to understand.’ To this Falaturi gives the following, thoughtful yet unambiguous, retort:
‘How can a Hindu, a Buddhist, or in particular a Muslim dialogue partner carry on a serious dialogue when they know from the beginning that in the eyes of the Christian participant they are seen as “threatening” or even very threatening? For what reason is the dialogue now being carried out? To diminish the threat? Is that an aim of the dialogue? And who is threatened and for what reasons? In this way, will not any basis for a dialogue on equal footing be ruled out right from the start?’
It is obvious that in Küng’s dialogue with Islam much more than mere theological sensibility is at stake. The problem of the rapacious ethic of industrial society, and its viability in a truly universal system, also looms large in his vision. He is further distressed by the possibility that Muslim opposition to Western science and technology may create a permanent rift between North and South. That the Islamic commitment also entails active struggle against all forms of oppression and injustice causes him merely parochial worries. Thus, Falaturi is obliged to point out most emphatically that Islam as a religious system does not represent any anti-Western propensity. Rather, the thrust of its revival is directed against the pseudo-values of the permissive modern culture which Küng himself describes as ‘inappropriate both for Islam and Christianity.’ Despite everything, however, both Küng and Falaturi appear to be in agreement that the common challenge for Christian and Islamic theology lies in creating, within the matrix of ‘a new ecumenical paradigm of secularity viewed against a religious background’, a third way between ‘either’ and ‘or’.
There can be no doubt that Abdoljavad Falaturi’s intense reflection on the intellectual and spiritual context of Muslim-Christian dialogue is both sensitive and bold. He has responded to Hans Küng’s initiative at the Christian-Muslim dialogue with energy, creativity and humanity. From now on, every future effort to extend the scope of this dialogue is under obligation to take into account the full import of Falaturi’s vision.
One of the most vigorous challenges to Hans Küng’s theology, unnegotiably committed to upholding the ‘uniqueness’ of Jesus, comes from the members of ‘the pluralistic theology of religions’ group. In their opinion, Küng’s view presents an insurmountable obstacle for the Christian dialogue with other religions. The most audible, and cogent, voice in this critical chorus is that of John Hick, even if such esteemed thinkers as Wilfred Cantwell Smith also belong to the pluralist school. The challenge of the pluralistic theology is best expressed by the metaphor ‘crossing the theological Rubicon’. It should be understood, according to Paul Kittner, as: ‘To cross it means to recognize clearly, unambiguously, the possibility that other religions exercise a role in salvational history that is not only valuable and salvific but perhaps equal to that of Christianity; it is to affirm that there may be other saviours and revealers besides Jesus Christ. It is to admit that if other religions must be fulfilled in Christianity, Christianity must, just as well, find fulfilment in them.’
The Anglican John Hick is even more outspoken in his advocacy of a God-centered rather than a Christ-centered faith: ‘The Idea of the Trinity and the two natures of Christ are in fact incomprehensible to most people. In comparison, a non-traditional Christian faith can be genuinely simple and yet profound. Consider the belief that there is an ultimate Reality which is the source and ground of everything; that this Reality is benign in relation to human life; that the universal presence of this Reality is reflected (‘incarnated’) in human terms in the lives of the world’s great spiritual leaders; and that among these we have found Jesus to be our principal revelation of the Real and our principal guide for living.’ (The Metaphor of God Incarnate, p 163)
The pluralist objection is motivated by ethical considerations and emanates from a utopian vision of a world community of faith(s). From this perspective, the idea that Christianity, or even biblical faiths, have a monopoly on religious truth, proclaims the feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether, ‘is an outrageous and absurd religious chauvinism.’ Other objectors, such as Gregory Baum, have argued that Küng’s stress on the centrality and uniqueness of Jesus, his ideological ‘rhetoric of exclusion’, favours a division of the world into ‘Christians’ and ‘non-Christians’ and that this language affects the way the church thinks and treats ‘outsiders.’ Indeed, it makes the church ‘vulnerable to evil’. Baum also refers to the persecution of the Jews as a classic example of this ‘rhetoric of exclusion.’ Küng has been criticized even on historical grounds in that his assertion about the uniqueness of Jesus cannot be substantiated by the exercise of the historical method.
Kenneth Brewer has summed up the whole pluralist debate in ‘The Uniqueness of Christ and the Challenge of the Pluralist Theology of Religions’ (Kuschel and Häring: pp 198-215). Indeed, he has recapitulated Küng’s basic argument and even tried to defend his exclusivist position. Neither the Küng’s argument, nor Brewer’s defence, however, are sufficiently alert to the philosophical antinomy of ‘history’ and ‘norm’, the clash between historical reflection and the determination of standards of truth and value, which was introduced in the Christian debate by Ernst Troeltsch and which since then has continued to plague Christian reason. Indeed, the Church’s main argument against Küng’s Christology, articulated by Cardinal Höffner, has been precisely this, namely that Küng’s method ‘from below’ and his emphasis upon functional categories reduced Christ’s uniqueness to that of any religious reformer! Further, Küng’s reasons for postulating the uniqueness of Jesus and his comparisons with other founders of religion are so schematic and slanted that these can only be accepted as statements of faith. By no means do they count as ‘facts of history.’ (Needless to say, Küng is outrageously perverse in the case of Islam and envisions the mission of the Prophet as ‘world conquest’ and the establishment of an ‘expansionist state’!)
The unconventional Festschrift dedicated to Hans Küng is thus a conventional example of Christian hubris, just as John Hick’s The Metaphor of God Incarnate is that of its humility. Earlier, Hick had acquired instant notoriety by presenting a collective work, The Myth of God Incarnate (SCM Press, London, 1977), which asserted that the conception of Jesus as God incarnate, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is mythological, and hence, cannot be accepted as literal truth. Though the book did not say anything that the biblical scholars had not already discussed in learned journals, its popular format and combative posture did help generate a lot of controversy. The present volume sums up the earlier debate and presents its argument against literalism with scholarly calm and ecumenical pathos.
The impartial Muslim reviewer may sum the main insight of ‘de-incarnationist’ theology as the, belated, realization that the Jewish expression ‘son of God’ is metaphoric, that it denotes no ontological relationship, no participation by the person so named in the divine nature. Rather, it connotes a moral state. The doctrine of incarnation, then, represents a transformation of the Jewish (monotheistic) moral metaphor into a Greek (polytheistic) metaphysical theory. Moreover, none of what the Church proclaimed of Jesus, according to Hick, would have been acceptable, indeed even comprehensible, to him. In short, Hick wants to give up some of the historical, and historicising, ‘truths’ of the Christian tradition for the recovery of the Transcendent. Lest some Muslims misconstrue Hick’s revisionist theology as a rehabilitation of the Qur’anic criticism of incarnationist Christianity, it is merely proper to point out that his excessive emphasis on religious pluralism, and his Ibn-‘Arabian language of Transcendent Reality, smacks more of existential pantheism than of the Qur’anic transcendentalism. For the Muslim reader, however, Hick’s book is particularly informative, and instructive, of the historical and ideational matrix within which primitive Christianity’s radical departure from Hebrew monotheism took place.
For the Muslim, far more challenging than Christian hubris and far more encouraging than Christian humility is the prospect of a radical ethical discourse on our common humanity. Hans Küng’s pioneering effort at the formulation of a global ethic, no matter how tentative and how problematic, deserves to be lauded and supported by the Muslim. The declaration, presented in Küng’s and Kuschel’s edited volume, A Global Ethic, was formally adopted by ‘the Parliament of World’s Religions’ in September 1993. Of course, to the votaries of political realism it appears as hopelessly utopian and naive document. And yet, though one may squabble about its legality, one may question the legitimacy of the adopting body, one may raise a thousand objections against its individual provisions, one cannot disclaim its need. The goal of a universal Gemeinschaft may be far, and it may even turn out to be a mirage, but the path leading to it has to be trodden. The discourse of Global Ethic may be taken as a humble step on that path and a conscientious movement in that direction.
The motivation for a universal ethic is quite simple. Everyone recognizes that we are already living within the world wide web of a global society (Weltgesellschaft), though as yet there are no signs of a universal community (Weltgemeinschaft). Our reality, which is increasingly shaped by world politics, world technology, world economy and world civilization cannot therefore do without a world ethic. In utopian discourse, the terminology itself causes problems: Global Ethic (not ‘ethics’ as it refers to the system or the ‘science’ of morals) represents the English counterpart to the German ‘Weltethos’ and the French ‘éthique planétaire’) and conveys the idea of universal norms of conduct in a global society. However, according to its proponents, a global ethic means neither a global ideology, nor a single global religion that transcends all existing religions, nor a syncratic amalgam of all religious traditions. Nor does a global ethic, assures Hans Küng, seek to replace the high ethics of the individual religions with an ethical minimalism. Prior to the presentation of his draft, Küng also realized that the declaration of a global ethic must neither be a duplicate of the United Nations’ ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’, nor a casuistic moral sermon, nor a philosophical treatise, nor a religious proclamation, nor indeed a political manifesto.
In substance, the Declaration makes ‘a fundamental demand that every human being must be treated humanely’ and affirms ‘commitment to a culture of non-violence’, ‘commitment to a culture of solidarity and a just economic order’, ‘commitment to a culture of toleration and a life of truthfulness’, and ‘commitment to a culture of equal rights and partnership between men and women.’ It avoids programmes of social and political action but accepts the fundamentally political category of citizenship when it remonstrates that ‘no person should ever be considered or treated as a second-class citizen’! It certainly lives up to its promise of being concise, intelligible and inspiring. Significantly, no dissent was ever expressed concerning its desirability and need, just as its opening statement that ‘Every human being must be treated humanely’ met with universal approval. For all its shortcomings, it represents a significant declaration of the ethical intent of our age. A sober Muslim critique of its contents may come later, an active Muslim involvement has to be immediate.
Hans Küng also situates this quest for a global ethic within the social and cultural context of ‘potmodernity’ and its key themes: ‘polycentrism, war and peace, critique of civilization, the women’s movement, the ecumenical movement’ etc. His own kulturkritik thus highlights the following issues:
- Science, but not wisdom to prevent the misuse of scientific research.
- Technology, but no spiritual energy to bring the unforeseeable risks of a highly-efficient macrotechnology under control.
- Industry, but no ecology which might fight against the constantly expanding economy.
- Democracy, but no morality which could work against the massive interests of various individuals and groups in power.
To an outsider, however, much of this criticism appears gratuitous, especially so when one realizes that Hans Küng has no policies to recommend but that he is content with the annunciation of a nondescript ethic as a ‘solution’ to the above mentioned malaise! What evidence is there to suggest, however, that the world becomes a better place when men of cloak, or turban, take the helm?
It is in this spirit that the Muslim sensitivity may finally be given vent. The Muslim is not opposed to utopian schemes, nor is he averse to the formulation of any global ethic. He may endorse all these and yet be discontent. It is because his moral conscience demands more than a world ethic; it longs for world-order. For, to have an ethic is also to get involved - willy-nilly - with politics and with the questions of power and responsibility. Who has power over technology and hence bears the responsibility of letting it play havoc with our lives? Who owns the industry that destroys our habitat? Who preaches democracy but practices no morality? These are the questions which the Muslim would like to interject into the discourse of world ethic.
There is no doubt that in working for a common humanity, in dreaming about a universal Gemeinschaft, in dealing with both the hubris and humility of Christianity, the Muslim will find Hans Küng a formidable and charitable partner.

I knew this picture was going to be a scrapper. King and Slayden sitting around the campfire in Montana. They looked so stinkin’ cute in their Carhart jackets. Slayden thinks King (aka Lunchbox) is the shizznit. Slayden is a smart kid, I kinda think King is the shizznit too!
I am pretty proud of myself on this page . . . broke out the burlap to for added texture.
I am quite certain this is the best picture that King and I took in 2010.
1 comment:
I love both of the pages! The burlap really makes the first page pop. Good job.

Share This out for weddings, funerals and court appearances. We know that most of you would rather wear a Yankees jersey than be forced into a sport coat on the weekend, but hear us out on this one.
Done right, a jacket can be paired with a wide array of casual clothing, and the rest of your outfit can determine how ‘dressed-up’ or ‘dressed-down’ you are overall. It should also be comfortable. If it’s not, you’re in the wrong jacket.
Blazers are highly functional. It’s not summer yet. Instead of grabbing an outdoor jacket and then being stuck wearing it in the bar all night or being forced to carry it around and hang it on odd objects (because no one seems to have coat racks anymore) why not don a sport coat instead? It’ll keep the spring chill off your back and take you from a walk in Patterson Park to a table at Annabelle Lee in style. Plus you get half a dozen extra pockets. Who doesn’t want that?.
A jacket will open doors for you. Remember the last time you were walking up Charles Street and you really really had to pee and all you heard was “Sorry. The restroom is for customers only.” Well, a blazer might have gotten you in there. It can also result in a round on the house, airline or hotel upgrades, and certain persons keeping mum when liberties are taken. If you want to be money, you’ve got to look money.
Wearing a jacket will keep you out of trouble. Know how you’re prone to yell at people in traffic, commit random larcenies and tell Red Sox fans to go screw? Well, you remember yourself a little better in a blazer. Dressing like a man tends to encourage acting like a man. Funny how that works.
It’s a rule. Of course, we’ll all be a bit rakish from time to time, no matter how finely cut the clothes. As the outstanding blog 1001 Rules For My Unborn Son recently quoted “Dissolute behavior in a coat and tie is always more amply forgiven.” Next time you (un)knowingly make a pass at her while her husband is across the bar, make sure you’re wearing a hell of a nice jacket.
To clarify: we know the terms ‘sport coat’ and ‘blazer’ are not interchangeable, although for the purposes of this post they are. If you need further guidance Esquire’s fashion editor Nick Sullivan will sort out the issue for you. There are also a wide range of opinions online about what jackets work where and for whom. We’re not even getting into that. Good luck.
i must say, i do like a man in a blazer
absolutely standard issue for seasoned and aspiring rakes alike……..

So one of the many many cool things of being a part of the Covenant Health Biggest Winner Team is that one of our coaches is Joe Mitchell, a former NBC Biggest Loser contestant. It was really neat talking with him last night about life on the ranch, and how they really go about losing all that weight so fast. I don't think he told us anything he wouldn't mind sharing. I got two big takeaways from Joe last night. The first biggest takeaway I got was the insight that during there time on the ranch, the contestants are moving, basically, all day. Literally from the time he got up in the morning, to sometimes as late as midnight, they were either walking, running, hiking, or in the gym (when they weren't eating or in the bathroom of course). So they burn something crazy like 8000 calories per day! With a caloric intake of roughly 1500 calories for him, so you can see why they lose big amounts of weight each week. Those types of numbers really isn't realistic for most normal people with jobs and lives and such. But what it does show me is what we as humans and what are bodies are really capable of, given the right circumstances.
I really wanted to join Joe this morning at Fort Sanders for a 6:00 am spin class. Not because I like spin classes, in fact, I have only taken one and I basically hated it. It made my rear end hurt in a way that I hope to never experience again. But I know if I can do that spin class on those 3 days per week, thats 1000 extra calories that I burned. Can I get up at 5:30 am? Yes. Did I want to? No. So it goes back to the mental battle.
And I will leave this post with the other big takeaway. The Biggest Loser is on it's 14th season starting Sunday, so at this point there is a bit of an Alumni of past contestants. Most everybody loses weight while they are on the show, whether they stay on the ranch or get sent home, and see results. What I think is interesting is what happens after. 1 year later, 2 years later, 5 years later. It is a mixed bag. Some people do well and keep it off, others struggle. Joe shared the reason that most people struggle is that they view weight loss as a Starting point, and and Ending point. "Once I get to where I am going, I can relax and start living like I used to again." For those of you who have known me for some time, you know I fit into that catagory, but that is info for a whole other post altogether.
This is a journey, but a unique one in that there really isn't a destination. There are always goals, new challenges, new ways to push yourself and surprise yourself and do things that you have previously said you would not or could not ever do. I hope my struggles and successes help inspire others to find their own new and exciting challenges.
Joe Mitchell, Biggest loser contestant and Knoxville Marathon Team Biggest Winner Coach
Great post, Ken! Joe is an inspiration to all of us - and you are, too!
Great post! The mental challenge is most often the hardest! Keep up the good work and surround yourself w/ people who will help hold you accountable!
Like the name... The Bane Train and keep it up you are making lifelong changes And your sweet wife seems really behind you and proud of your progress

Actually Aveo won. The Avalanche driver was taken by Mercy Flight (Usually indicating life-threatening injury) and the driver and passenger of Aveo taken by Mercy EMS with non-threatening injuries.
Three people injured, two needing helicopter transport, in accident on West Main Street, Batavia
Submitted by Howard Owens on November 11, 2012 - 5:37pm
Two people were taken to regional hospitals by Mercy Flight after an accident at 2:40 p.m. on West Main Street at the turn-in for Valu Plaza.
Both people, the driver of one car and his passenger, had non-life-threatening injuries. The driver was taken ECMC and the passenger to Strong Memorial Hospital.
A third person, the driver of a red Chevy Avalanche involved in the crash, was taken to Strong by Mercy EMS.
Reportedly, the driver of a blue Chevy Aveo was making a left-hand turn from the westbound lane into Valu Plaza. He allegedly pulled in front of the red Avalanche.
City and Town of Batavia fire departments responded and Sheriff's deputies are investigating the accident.

John, I think you need new glasses. The blue Aveo is FUBAR and the Avalanche might also be FUBAR, but it sure looks a whole lot better than the Aveo.
OMG, this was an accident that resulted in some serious injuries and all you two morons can do is argue over which vehicle won?
Seriously?
Ray, it's an observation. Whether it's verbalized or not, I'm pretty sure everyone evaluates many aspects of an accident when they see it. I'm pretty sure I said that I hope everyone pulls through okay.
My observation was actually for my own benefit, but I said what I was thinking so everyone could see it. I'll never drive an Aveo, that's for sure. Was I wrong for saying that or should I only comment on what's important to you? Just wondering...
We could talk about the collation between prius and aveo to liberal drivers. Maybe?
Howard, not sure where any info came from, but to set the record straight, the driver and passenger in the Aveo were both airlifted to ECMC. I was informed the driver of the Avalanche was taken to Strong via ground ambulance.
The driver and passenger in the Aveo, are in fairly good shape considering how bad the crash was.
Some broken bones, some surgury, and some rehab, and both should be allright in a couple of months.
The passenger in the Aveo was suppossed to be taken to Strong, but somehow ended up going to ECMC, despite the fact the medics were told to go to strong, as the patient has ties to that hospital, and recieves out-patient treatment at Strong.
Aveo meets Avalanche...Avalanche wins. I'm sticking with my Silverado 2500HD. Hopefully everyone pulls through okay.

I know it's 'in vogue' to call for the head of the hitting coach when things are going badly. I'm hardly the first and if things keep going like this for the Twins (6 runs in 4 games) more and more people will jump on that bandwagon. The fact of the matter is that in each of the past two season, the Twins offense has gotten off to a very slow start and sometimes a change a scenery is needed, even if the old scenery isn't necessarily the problem.
Last year, the circumstances were different, but the outcome was the same. In their first 29 games of 2011, the Twins managed only one game in which the offense scored more than 5 runs. Injuries were to blame more than anything else for the slow start in 2011, but this year the Twins entered and emerged from Spring Training with a fully capable lineup that had been playing well leading up to the beginning of the season.
Their struggles so far this year are no mystery when you look at the data. As a team they seem unable to hit a ball that doesn't hit the ground before it hits a glove. In fact, of all the balls the Twins have put in play so far this season, 67.7% of them have been groundballs which, far and away, leads the Majors. Their GB/FB ratio is 3.35/1 -- almost DOUBLE that of any other team (the next closest is the Giants at 1.87/1 GB/FB ratio). The propensity to hit groundballs has led to an understandably low BABIP (.184) which pretty much explains why the Twins have been unable to score runs. To put it a different way - the Twins have scored 6 runs in 4 games and 3 of those runs have come as a result of HRs hit by Josh Willingham. If not for that, the Twins would have been shutout twice in the first 4 games. [all stats courtesy of fangraphs.com]
Joe Vavra's had a good run. He was hired following the 2005 season and in 2006, the Twins scored over 800 runs and won 96 games. After a down year in 2007, the Twins again reached the 800+ runs mark in both 2008 and 2009 and almost reached that mark in 2010 scoring 781 runs. Last year, well, we all know what happened last year - the team only scored 619 runs on it's way to one of the worst years in franchise history.
I'm only half-heartedly calling for a change. I know it's only 4 games and I also know that there are 158 games left this season. The Twins offense could (and probably will) turn it around at any point. I'm saying that if this offensive futility continues, then there needs to be some changes made -- and in this case I think it should start with the hitting coach.

Entourage fans rejoice! On Wednesday night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jeremy Piven (Ari Gold) confirmed that there is going to be an Entourage movie.
Piven told Fallon, “They’ve commissioned the movie… It should happen” I have only one thing to say – Boom!
Don’t believe me, here it is from the man himself:
Jeremy Piven talks “Entourage” movie on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”
There’s no further information about filming dates, release date or storylines, but from the Entourage series finale we know that Ari Gold has been offered a job of a lifetime. Will he risk his marriage and take it? I think we all know the answer to that one! Bring it on
That’s Entertainment!
