Curtain Up 2011: A Festival of Dance Premieres
In Her Own Words by Rachel Erdos. Photo by Yaniv Cohen.
Founded in 1989, Curtain Up (Haramat Masach in Hebrew) has become a centerpiece of Israel's contemporary dance calendar. In many ways, the core of this yearly platform has remained the same over the decades: up-and-coming choreographers who operate outside of the country's major companies receive financial and artistic support to present new works on a series of mixed bills in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Yet in its most recent editions, Curtain Up has added another layer: cultivating artistic directors who are themselves choreographers. Last year, four alumni of the festival – Tamar Borer, Sahar Azimi, Ronit Ziv, and Renana Raz – were each charged with curating an evening. This year, Borer, Azimi, and Ziv are returning as artistic directors, applying the lessons they learned in 2010 to Curtain Up 2011, which runs from November 3-12.
Curtain Up's three programs will each be performed twice at the Suzanne Dellal Centre and once at the Jerusalem Theatre. In cooperation with the Choreographers Association and Tarbut L'Yisrael, the works created for Curtain Up will also be performed in Israel's northern and southern regions, enabling these younger choreographers to gain further exposure.
So just what is on the bill for Curtain Up this year? Here is a video preview of the three programs:

- Craig and I were on our own Friday evening and both totally wiped out, so we ate dinner in the family room and watched Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It wasn't bad but definitely not as good as the first two (they never are, are they?). Besides the obvious problem that dinosaurs did not exist during the ice age, it just wasn't quite as clever or funny as the original. Entertaining enough for our purposes, though (we were pretty much zombies anyway).
- Ken and I watched Next, a sci fi thriller starring Nicholas Cage. It didn't get spectacular reviews, but I like Cage and I liked the premise, so we gave it a try. Cage plays a small-time Vegas magician who has a real magic-like ability: he can see into the future. It's limited, though: he can only see what affects him and only about 2 minutes into the future. Still, he has somehow attracted the attention of the FBI who are desperate to find some terrorists with a nuclear bomb before disaster strikes. It was a good action movie, fast-paced and with an interesting twist. Jamie missed this one, but I know he'd love it.
- Ken and I watched Julie & Julia. I had originally borrowed this from the library while he was out of town and never had a chance to watch it, but I think he's glad I waited. We both enjoyed it very much. Interestingly, I actually liked the movie better than the book, which is unusual. (see my book review here). The expanded scenes of Julia Child (depicted by Meryl Streep) were absolutely wonderful, and the movie version of Julie Powell, the author, sanded down all her rough, irritating edges and made her cute and perky (depicted by Amy Adams).
- Ken and I also watched Ghost Writer which was an excellent political thriller. Ewan McGregor plays a UK writer hired to help an ex-British Prime Minister, played by Pierce Brosnan, write his memoir. The hitch? McGregor's predecessor died in a suspicious accident. Just after the writer is whisked away to a secluded mansion in the US to work on the memoir with his subject, a news story breaks, accusing the ex-Prime Minister of war crimes. As the writer delves into the half-finished book, he begins to discover that things may not be as they seem and his own life may be in danger. Good suspenseful film with an intricate plot.
Enjoy the last bit of the holiday weekend - we're meeting some good friends for dinner (i.e. no cooking or dishes!).

Avielle Richman wore pink cowboy boots
Photo: Contributed Photo
Avielle loved riding horses. Her trainer, Annette Sullivan, the owner of Zoar Ridge Stables in Sandy Hook, said she would "giggle when she trotted" and liked to wear her pink cowboy boots.
Sullivan said that 6-year-old Avielle wanted an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas, "because she wanted to be able to make her mom cookies."
"Her smile could get her out of anything," said Sullivan, and she was on the verge of losing her first tooth.
"She showed me her wiggly tooth, she was so excited," said Sullivan. "She was the most delightful little girl you ever met in your life."

If you missed it, we went over Overvalued players in last week's Deep Impact post.
This week, we'll be going over guys I think are either going too low in drafts, or have some sort of stigma that's keeping their cost low – undervalued in their current state. Remember, it doesn't mean they are the elite bombz. Like I said last week, the most important aspect in advanced leagues is value. That's what our goal is here. And depending where you are in your league, these summaries can either help you find some sleepers in an inaugural draft, or, if you are already some x amount of years in, you can look to these guys as good trade targets.
Now, without further ado…Please, blog, may I have some more?

She studied natural nutrition at The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and is currently a college teacher who works as a part-time cooking class instructor/chef and a part-time freelance writer.
I have asked Ricki to contribute a guest post on Candida Related Complex aka Candida, a condition that arises when someone has an overgrowth of yeast (usually candida albicans) in the body. Ricki has been sharing her personal struggle on her blog since March 2009 and today on my health coaching blog she is giving you the opportunity to learn more about candida, the effects it has on the body and what you can do about it. She also has included a anti-candida (ACD) friendly recipe, which I have included below, for you to try and trust me her recipes are a must try, she is an amazing chef (source).
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Recipe: Cinnamon-Walnut Loaf
Here's an ACD-friendly bread recipe that's perfect for breakfast or brunch. For a savory loaf (from which you can make sandwiches), omit the nuts and use only 4-10 drops of liquid stevia.
1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp (25 ml) whole psyllium husks
1 tsp (5 ml) apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp (15 ml) pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp (30 ml) smooth natural almond butter or tahini (sesame paste)
enough unsweetened plain or vanilla soy or almond milk to make 1-1/2 cups/360 ml (see instructions)
1/3 cup (55 g) teff flour
1/2 cup (55 g) amaranth or quinoa flour
1/4 cup (60 ml) potato starch
1-1/2 tsp (7.5 ml) baking powder
1/4 tsp (1 ml) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 ml) fine sea salt
1 Tbsp (15 ml) cinnamon
1/4 tsp (1 ml) pure stevia powder or liquid, to your taste
1/3 cup (40 g) lightly toasted walnut pieces or chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease a regular loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
Place the psyllium husks, apple cider vinegar, vanilla and almond butter in a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to reach the 1-1/2 cup (360 ml) mark. Using a small whisk or fork, whisk everything together until the almond butter is well dissolved in the liquid and no lumps remain. Set aside while you measure the dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, sift together all remaining ingredients except for the walnuts. Whisk well to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Add the walnuts.
Whisk the liquid again to ensure that it's smooth and everything is incorporated, then pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir just to combine (do not overmix!). Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through, until the bread is well browned on the bottom and sides, and the top springs back when touched lightly (there will be a fairly thick crust by this time, but it should still spring back). A knife inserted in the center should come out moist but clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan allow to cool completely before slicing. The bread is very moist on the first day and dries a bit by the second. Store, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator up to 3 days, or freeze for later. Makes one medium loaf, or 8-10 slices.
Thank you Ricki for this wonderful recipe and her informative guest post over on my health coaching blog! If you would like to learn more about Ricki head over to her blog Diet, Dessert and Dogs and check out her amazing recipes. I was a tester for her Desserts Without Compromise book and it includes so many amazing recipes perfect for those looking for ACD friendly recipes and for those who just love desserts.

Fly your picture on the International Space Station - ESA announces the winners
It was a tough choice for the jury to make. Within just a few weeks of launching the competition, over 2000 drawings were received from primary school children eager to see ESA astronaut Frank De Winne wearing their t-shirt in space. Today, ESA is proud to announce the names of three winners.
The winners are: Alexandra Angellotti, 12 years old, from Italy; Bruno Tedim Guerra, 11 years old from Portugal and Iman Bouwens, 8 years old, from Belgium.
Launched last September, the competition invited school children aged 6-12 to design a t-shirt for Frank De Winne to wear during his long-duration mission to the International Space Station next year.
During his six-month mission in space, De Winne will conduct scientific experiments developed by scientists from different countries worldwide and he will also teach lessons to children on the ground. On this occasion Frank De Winne will wear t-shirts displaying the drawings by Alexandra, Bruno and Iman.
The winners ideally represent all European primary school children. "It was impossible to select only one winner," explains Piero Messina, Head of the Coordination Office in ESA's Directorate of Human Spaceflight which organised the competition.
"We had an enthusiastic response. We have received hundreds of drawings from children of various ages and from all over Europe. Surprisingly, we also received some drawings from Colombia. All of them were indeed very good. Space is an inspiring subject for children: they are the next generation of explorers. Space represents for them the next natural frontier."
Three radio links with the International Space Station will be organised, one for each class: the winners, together with all their classmates, will have the opportunity to talk to Frank De Winne in space, when he will personally congratulate them.
A selection of drawings is available online: Your pictures »»

To pass time on my way to work, I listen to the local radio morning show. Some topics pique my interest and are totally relatable and others make me feel like I live in a world of my own. I encountered one of each this morning. They asked for stories of when you went to the store for __________ but came home with _________. Frank and I are guilty of this on a couple occasions. We once went shopping for a desk chair and bought a bed. I think we also bought a fish tank while looking for a desk chair. No clue how that occurred, but I'm pretty sure we need to exercise extreme caution when shopping for desk chairs. One of the funnier tales was one guy went to REI for a backpack and left with a canoe.
Then, the conversation turned toward being overwhelmed at stores and shopping stress. Several people chimed in that stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Costco and Target are overwhelming. The vast selection is too much to bear. Others admitted to having troubles limiting purchases and they fill a cart in no time. I dislike shopping, I get the dread of needing to go to the store. My frustration often lies in walking out empty handed when I was in specific need of something... this could be clothing, shoes or a grocery item. Walmart stresses me out, long lines, crowded aisles, and screaming children. But none of these were means of stress for those on the show or that called in. More or less they were stressed by lack of discipline, how bizarre? I thought.
I suppose for some it's a good thing Vegas doesn't have an Ikea. Could you imagine the anxiety that place could cause?
Excessive shopping or being overwhelmed by selection is not something that's ever phased me. It reminded me of when I was a teen and my dad always teased me about my trips to the mall. I'd go with girlfriends and after hours of shopping, all I'd buy were Swedish fish from the bulk candy store. I had money to burn, but I was always more of a saver than a spender. Now that I'm grown, I enjoy experiences more than material things so shopping is a matter of necessity much of the time.
Anyway, I'm always fascinated by behavioral differences. Are you one to be overwhelmed by stores or do you have a "went for this and came home with that" story to tell?

Beat the Streak Report: Aug. 24
Today's recommended picks
- .636 AVG (7-for-11) lifetime vs. Angels starter Jered Weaver
- .462 AVG (6-for-13) lifetime vs. Tigers starter Justin Verlander
- .429 AVG (6-for-14) lifetime vs. Royals starter Gil Meche
BTS all-time leader: Michael Karatzia, 49
MLB all-time leader: Joe DiMaggio, 56
Yesterday's results
Two BTS top dogs fell from grace this past weekend, as Nicklarsen84 and Motorhead lost their streaks at 35 and 34 games, respectively.
That paved the way for buhtter, diamondmike and jagzrule77 to pull into a three-way tie atop the leaderboard. Each rode a different player to 34-game streaks, as buhtter took Hanley Ramirez (3-for-5), diamondmike selected Joe Mauer (2-for-5) and jagzrule77 got a 1-for-4 effort from Andre Ethier.
Breathing down the necks of the Top 3 are rbier2000 and thatsawinner, who are at 33 games apiece.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Hanley Ramirez (FLA): 12.7%, 3-for-4
2. Ichiro Suzuki (SEA): 11.1%, 1-for-4
3. Albert Pujols (STL): 7.3%, 1-for-3
4. Joe Mauer (MIN): 6.0%, 2-for-5
5. Chipper Jones (ATL): 4.2%, 0-for-2

champion_88 ———- Don't give up for the season. This is our 6 weeks of spring training. Try out a new plan to keep a streak going. I tried going with the "Kings at the Plate" players only and saw that this was going nowhere. Now I'm looking at top of the order hitters v. weak pitchers. Think outside the box and keep me posted. I went with Hanley Ramirez on Sunday and Shane Victorino on Monday. I'm taking a hard look at Ichirio for Tuesday.
There is a reluctance of players to post who they picked each day before the game locks in place. Please —-The odds of winning this thing are 100million to 1. Why be afraid to post who you like and why you like them!
Ichirio better get a hit tonight or the leader board tomorrow is going to look as empty as the last Nationals home game of the season!
Good Luck Guys!
Ichiro is out for today and probably tomorrow. He was my pick for today, so I and all the others who picked him get a 'bye' for the day. I'd rather have a hit than a bye, but thems the conditions that prevail.
I have been thinking that a reasonable 'goal' for me (for right now, anyway) is to have my streak alive at any time in September. After today, there are 41 days left in the baseball season. I have a 17 game hitting streak going into today, and if Ichiro is as injured as the reports say and doesn't get an 0-for-1 pinch hitting appearance tonight, I'll have a 17-game hitting streak tomorrow. At this point, a DNP is almost as bad as breaking my streak. I've got one more spare day, in addition to today, to still have a chance at 57.
Given that new constraint, I may alter the way I am picking these players. BTS locks 5 minutes before the first game of the day, meaning that the early game or games has a posted lineup prior to the lock. I may need to look at both the early lineup and the weather to at least make sure my selection is starting on that day. This may result in some unorthodox selections, but necessity can sometimes be the mother of invention.
I've got a 10 gamer now and picked Ichiro. A little upset that he's not playing tonight. My 4 other considerations (utley, Howard, Braun, and Fielder) all got hits today so I lost a good chance to get to 11. Tomorrow looks tough but I'm going with Hanley Ramirez as of now. I'm 45-5 but only a high streak of 18 to show for it since the start of July.
Wow. No Ichie today. I almost went with him but his performance last 3 days stopped me. I know Mazzaro is a good match for Ichie but he has been pitching slightly better this month. I was thinking with weak Ichie and out-of-nowhere gold medal pitching from Mazzaro could end it all. And Mazzaro is capable of doing it. He was a top draft pick a couple of yrs ago. Now, we know why Ichie has been so lackluster in Cleveland.
Its 99.9% certain now that 1.5 mil won't be touched this year. I am just shooting for Tanner's 45. That looks possibly reachable for me. But 12 more games after that would be really tough. Its like getting 5 of 6 lottery numbers. Its only 1 number but the odds are like another million to one from there.
I was gonna hit Ichie tomorrow for sure but must search a replacement.
Just imagine Ichie comes in for pinch hit and strikes out. Man, the insurance co. honcho would be busting out the bubblies tonight.
Man, that bothers me even more then. I think if we had known that Ichiro was playing hurt, that probably would have been enough for me to flip to Cabrera Saturday, since it was close for me to begin with.
If it was not close, it would not have bothered me as much, since outside of him, most of the other players I would have switched to, also failed.
I am at 15 games and with ichiro sitting monday, best I can do is 56 games, unless they have a 1 game playoff or they need to do a makeup game.
That would be sweet to win it on a makeup game
They should modify the game next year so you have a primary pick and a secondary pick for the day, but then the way they have it drives traffic to their site as you check on injury reports, etc.
If you get to 56 games on the last day, then you should be able to try for 57 on opening day, just like a normal hitting streak.
Help me out guys!
What site do you go to to get injury reports?
Is Ichirio hurt or was he just rested on Monday?
I went to the Mariners web site and it said Ichirio has a sore calf. Think about this one!
He may play Wednesday.
Mariners are at home on astro turf – not good on those 35 year old legs.
I doubt that he pinch hits on Tuesday unless the game goes into extra innings or he us up in a situation where he does not have to run hard – winning run on 3rd base and Ichirio bats then.
He could ground out in the first inning on Wed and leave the game with leg tightness!
Time to step away from "The Little Magician" until he gets better.
Who do you guys like tonight?
I picked Ichiro for last night and was disappointed that he didn't play. I'm at 23 games right now. I'm amazed that I'm at 23 right now. I can't even imagine how some people are in the 30s. The way I see it, this whole thing is 80% luck and 20% skill. At the beginning I didn't really think or analyze my picks too much. Now that I'm in the 20s I find myself over-analyzing more and more. Anyways, I'm thinking of going with Carl Crawford tonight vs. Brett Cecil. What do you all think?

Something akin to an earthquake hit Japan's mobile phone industry earlier this week when sales figures for last month revealed that leading network NTT DoCoMo's share of the market has fallen below half for the first time in 10 years.
A market slice of 49.7 per cent might still sound luxurious to most Western telcos, but DoCoMo's dominance has hitherto been unchallenged throughout the mobile boom.
Number portability
At the heart of the change, which has been on the cards for several months, lie two factors. Firstly, the introduction of number portability at the end of 2006 allowed users to switch carrier without losing their number.
Secondly, Softbank's takeover of the ailing Vodafone Japan network two years ago gave the entire industry a kick in its slightly dowdy and moth-eaten pants.
The result is mostly in favour of Softbank, with the number three carrier now holding around 18 per cent of the market. Second-placed KDDI (under its au brand) has also benefited from the defection away from DoCoMo, sitting at about 30 per cent now.
One thing customers of all three networks will be glad to see at last is price competition – monthly tariffs are falling across the board and pressure from Softbank is also forcing lower calling charges as well.

Mom knows best, right? Well, not always. Some of the health advice she may have passed on isn't so accurate. Here are three first-aid-related myths you should ditch and what to do instead.
Save yourself the sting. Hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol can damage the tissue and make it take longer for your wound to heal. Instead, rinse the cut with soap and water for five minutes to get it completely clean.
Allowing a wound to dry out and form a scab will delay the healing process. It needs moisture to get better. After cleaning a wound, apply petroleum jelly and cover the skin with a bandage. Wash the wound and change the bandage daily until it goes away.
Icing a burn may seem like a good idea, but it's better to run it under cool running water for several minutes. This will stop the burning action and reduce pain and swelling. Don't break any blisters, which can increase your risk for infection. Keep the burn covered with a bandage that doesn't stick to it.

NYC payroll scandal defendants each get 20 years
NEW YORK (AP) — Sentencing three men to prison for 20 years, a judge urged New York City officials to make substantial reforms Monday to prevent the kind of historic fraud over its project to modernize its payroll systems.
"It is a classic tale of greed and corruption," U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels said as he sentenced Mark Mazer, Gerard Denault and Dimitry Aronshtein following their November convictions.
Daniels ordered the men, previously subject to house detention, immediately taken into custody by U.S. marshals as dozens of family members and friends who had crowded a Manhattan courtroom for a lengthy sentencing hearing waved goodbye.
Daniels faulted the city for a fraud that Assistant U.S. Attorney Howard Master said was among the biggest in New York City's history.
"The city did little to prevent their brazen scheme," the judge said. "The process is in need of substantial reform."
A jury convicted the men of key roles in the corruption of the city's CityTime information technology project. The project was meant to modernize the city's timekeeping and payroll systems across city agencies.
Besides serving prison terms, Mazer, 50, of Manhasset, Aronshtein, 53, of Oceanside and Denault, 52, of Danbury, Conn., were ordered to forfeit $47 million.
Defense lawyers promised to appeal.
Attorney Barry A. Bohrer, representing Denault, told the judge after the sentence was announced that it was "vastly disappointing to us."
Only Aronshtein spoke at sentencing, saying: "My life is ruined. ... I feel like the biggest loser in the world."
Prosecutors said the men stole tens of millions of dollars as the cost of the project ballooned from $73 million in 2000 to more than $620 million by the time the defendants were arrested in December 2010.
To avoid prosecution, the project's prime contractor — Science Applications International Corp. or SAIC — paid more than $500 million in restitution and penalties.
"Today's sentences punctuate an epic scheme by Mark Mazer, Gerard Denault, Dimitry Aronshtein and others to steal millions of dollars through kickbacks and fraud from the City of New York, and then squirrel away the proceeds," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
He called it "one of the largest and most brazen frauds ever committed against the city."
New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Mark G. Peters said the sentencing "shows these one-time city vendors for what they are: common crooks who pocketed public funds."
Daniels said the prison terms were earned, citing the defendants' lack of remorse, lack of acceptance of responsibility and obstruction of justice.

Forget the foam finger and the VMA's--"We Can't Stop" obsessing over Miley's many manes! And since she's had more hair transformations in the 20 years she's been on the planet than you or I will see in a lifetime, we couldn't resist posting an animated look back at the hairstyles, hair colors, and iconic cuts MC's rocked--from her days with Disney to her current place as one of pop's star divas.
Prediction: If her latest album title is any indication of her next hairstyle, 2014's going to be all about bangs for Ms. Miley.

|Cajun rice dressing, or dirty rice, is a rice based mixture often served during the holidays. A roux is what sets the two apart in my recipe box. Read on to see how to make this a Cajun Farre dressing for sandwiches!
Cajun Rice Dressing - Dirty Rice JambalayaThis Cajun Rice Dressing is essentially a dirty rice recipe, sometimes called Dirty Rice Jambalaya, that's been jazzed up a bit with a small roux for the holidays, where it often makes an appearance both stuffed into some kind of bird or beef, or just simply as a side dish. While I intended to make this dish for the blog anyway, instead of chopping the giblets or leaving them out altogether, I wondered if I finely minced them with the food processor instead, could I pull this off and get The Cajun to at least taste it.
Well sure enough, it worked! Not only did he eat it, but he went back for more. I know - don't judge. The man often has nothing but a mental aversion to things when he knows what they are, but will often try something not knowing what is in it, only to love it! Course if you are totally opposed yourself, you could certainly substitute in a few links of raw sausage, like fresh, un-smoked andouille, or boudin instead, though any raw sausage will do.
I decided to use the Zatarain's Big & Zesty Creole seasoning here, for the bigger flakes, instead of my usual Slap Ya Mama, but use whatever is your own favorite. If you are using something like Slap Ya Mama, or some other more finely ground Cajun or Creole seasoning, you will probably want to tone it down from that full tablespoon though. As always, add a little first, then taste and adjust.
If you use a spicy raw sausage, absolutely taste before adding any Cajun/Creole seasoning, or you may risk over seasoning it. Canned mushroom steak sauce, like Giorgio Dawn Fresh brand, is an excellent compliment for rice dressing, though cream of mushroom soup is a perfectly acceptable substitute if you can't find it.
Ever heard of a Cajun Farre dressing? Or a Cajun dressing sandwich? Well, farre, a name that evolved from a mispronunciation of the French word farce, meaning forcemeat or dressing, had its beginnings in the Cajun and German River Road communities, just west of New Orleans. Make this dressing, but leave out the rice and let it simmer on the stovetop a bit, and you have farre dressing pretty much. Pile that up on a pistolette like loose meat, add a little yellow mustard, and you've got yourself a mighty fine Cajun dressing sandwich. Delish!
I apologize for the photo quality - bad weather, bad lighting.

Recipe: Cajun Rice Dressing - Dirty Rice Jambalaya©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 20 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
- 1 pound chicken giblets, rinsed and trimmed (see note)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 (6 ounce) cans mushroom steak sauce like Giorgio Dawn Fresh brand (see note for substitute)
- 2 cups beef stock or broth
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- 3 cups of cooked rice
- Chopped green onion, to garnish, optional
- Hot pepper sauce, for the table
Place the giblets in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes; set aside to cool. Once cooled, pulse the giblets in a food processor until finely minced.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the beef and pork. Drain and set aside. In that same skillet, start a roux by heating the canola oil over medium heat; stir in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture reaches a caramel color. Stir in the onion, bell pepper and celery; cook and stir about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the mushroom steak sauce or cream of mushroom soup and the beef stock, until fully incorporated. Add the browned beef and pork to the sauce mixture, along with the processed giblets. If you are substituting a spicy sausage for the giblets, taste before adding any Cajun or Creole seasoning; otherwise, stir in the Cajun/Creole seasoning, pepper and rice and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Turn out into the buttered baking dish, cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serve with hot sauce at the table.
Cook's Notes: Mushroom steak sauce can usually be found on the grocery aisle with the canned mushrooms. If you can't find the mushroom steak sauce, substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup with a splash of Kitchen Bouquet and/or a teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon beef in a pinch.
Can use turkey or chicken necks, livers and gizzards for the giblets. Can also omit the giblets and substitute a couple of links of raw sausage (like fresh, un-smoked andouille or boudin), ground beef, or any combination as desired. If you use a spicy raw sausage, taste before adding any Cajun/Creole seasoning. As always, taste, add a little, then taste and adjust. I like to use about a tablespoon of Zatarain's Big & Zesty, which is a larger flake Creole seasoning. Jalapeno peppers may be substituted for the sweet bell pepper.
Cajun Dressing Sandwich: Prepare the dish all the way up to the point of adding the rice but omit the rice, and do not bake. Instead, let mixture simmer on the stovetop for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Spoon the meat mixture onto warmed pistolette rolls and serve as sandwiches.

FBSD 8.1, KDE4 Printing Woes
I am running KDE 4.4.5 on my FreeBSD 8.1-Release laptop. I cannot seem to print much of anything anymore, with CUPS running. The only thing I can print currently is a test page - and only through the CUPS utilities (at localhost:631).
Firefox (specifically linux-firefox) doesn't see *any* printers, it only gives me the option to print to file. This is frustrating but was not always a game-stopper as I could always take that file and open it in okular and print there ...
Except now okular sees printers but never sends jobs anywhere. I can open a PDF in there, and send it to a printer but the job never goes anywhere. It never shows up under sent or active jobs in CUPS, but it never gives an error, either. Okular seems to think everything is OK even though it clearly is not. I would try to print from acroread, but that program is a massive pile of failure on FBSD 8.1-Release (opens and immediately crashes) in my experience.
To make things more curious I found I can print from Kate, but that isn't helpful when I want to print a pdf.
When I googled for various connotations of "kde freebsd print" I got several references to "kprinter", which apparently no longer exists in this version of KDE.
Any ideas on what to do?
I noticed something else odd here. I can print from Kate (the KDE text editor) just fine, but print jobs from Okular (the KDE PDF viewer) go nowhere. If I start Okular from the command line and try to print I get:
usage: lpr [-Pprinter] [-#num] [-C class] [-J job] [-T title] [-U user] [-Z daemon-options] [-i[numcols]] [-i[numcols]] [-1234 font] [-L locale] [-wnum] [-cdfghlnmprstv] [name ...]
Checkout the handbook section on printing via cups:
Specifically, getting all applications to prefer the cups utilities over the ones in the base system:
Solved ... I think [LONG]
I have now made it far enough that I can print from Okular and Firefox. Acrobat in Wine opens PDFs and stays open, but doesn't print (it says "no pages selected" when I try to print). Acrobat running non-Wine crashes when I try to open a file.
So in short, I can open a PDF in Okular and print it, which is success. I can print from Firefox as well, which is useful (although I broke linux-firefox).
Looking back through my logs, this is the order I went:
Before doing any of this, I cvsup'ed my full ports tree.
First, I tried to reinstall acroread9. It either failed or made no difference, I don't remember now which.
Then I tried to build CUPS. This failed with some annoying error that I didn't write down. I figured maybe CUPS wasn't the source of my misery since some apps were working, so I tried another approach.
Then I tried to reinstall acroread8 (figuring perhaps a different version would be less of a failure). This didn't solve any problems either.
Having noticed that linux-firefox was never printing, I tried reinstalling it. This made no difference, I'm not sure if it was even a different version than what I already had.
Something along the way clued me in to try glib20. I did that to address the CUPS error (although it didn't solve it on its own).
Having been very frustrated at this point I thought I would try to address the Wine issue, so I rebuilt and reinstalled it. This didn't help anything yet that I have seen.
Something in the CUPS errors hinted that maybe gnutls would be worth trying, which I did next. It didn't resolve the CUPS building problem but it seemed like a good idea.
A little more googling and I found a suggestion to rebuild cups-samba, which seemed odd to me since I don't use any samba shares on my network, but I went ahead and tried it anyways. I then did cups-client immediately afterwards.
With those built, I was able to successfully build and install the latest version of cups-base. For some reason "make deinstall cups-base" did not actually remove the old version from my system completely (still shows up in "pkg_info -aE | grep cups-base") but things seem OK anyways.
After all this (and one or more reboots to address my own frustration) I found I was again able to print from Okular. As I mentioned acroread is still a hopeless pile of fail on my system, so I took another swing at it.
I found a thread here (and elsewhere) that suggested linux_base-fc10 is poinson to acroread9, so I uninstalled it and installed linux_base-fc4 instead. This didn't fix the acroread problem, and now linux-firefox doesn't work, either. I'll probably open a new thread for that, later.
At any rate, I at least was able to restore printing functionality for the most important applications.

Getting rid of her smartphone was one of the smartest decisions she ever made, Gabrielle Davis said. If anyone doubts her on that, Davis, 28, of Dracut, needs only point to her 3.98 grade point average in two years as a full-time Middlesex Community College student, achieved while raising three young children as a single mom and working two part-time jobs.
On May 2 at the Statehouse, the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education celebrated Davis' academic accomplishments at MCC by recognizing her as one of their "29 Who Shine," an annual program that names outstanding students from each of the state's 15 community colleges, nine state universities and five University of Massachusetts campuses — 29 public campuses.
Q: You actually went from using a smartphone back to a regular cellphone?
A: I did have one for a while, and I used Planner on it for a while, but I do not have a smartphone. I don't like them. To me, smartphones are more distracting than useful. I prefer writing things down in my daily planner. I now have a basic, old-fashioned cellphone I got from Walmart.
Q: Three kids, two jobs, a 3.98 GPA, and an award from the Massachusetts Department of Education. How do you do it?
A: It's excellent time-management skills. It's going to sleep by 9:30 every night and getting up at 5 in the morning. I create an agenda every day to go by and I prioritize.
Q: What's your best study tip to becoming an A student?
A: I always write my class notes by hand, then type those notes into the computer later at home, and that's how I study. When it comes down to test time, I'll rewrite my notes by hand and retype them on my computer and remember it better that way, because I'm reiterating it.
Q: Favorite course?
A: Definitely creative writing, and reading and writing poetry have been my favorite courses at MCC. I love writing poetry; I've written lots of them.
Q: Could you recite a piece of your poetry?
A: This one's (titled) "A Childhood Memory": I knew fall was finally here when mom and dad bought pumpkin pie. The air is so full of color because leaves fall through the
sky. Bittersweet, musty scent from the bright confetti piles, My sister and I jumped into, laughing, full of smiles. The foliage lit up like candles, flickering in my sight. Blue sky beyond these branches warning of fading summer light …
Q: Least favorite course?
A: Pre-calculus is the most challenging. Even though I will say math isn't my thing, at the same time I do have fun doing it. I really enjoy the challenge of learning some thing new.
Q: What's the next step in your academic career?
A: After I graduate from Middlesex next month, I plan to transfer to UMass Lowell and pursue my bachelor's degree in peace and conflict studies.
Q: What would be your ideal career?
A: Leadership coaching in the schools for students in kindergarten through grade 12. We need to supplement our basic education curriculum to start training up tomorrow's leaders to make them stronger and more confident in their communication and leadership skills and techniques.
Q: Just how busy are you?
A: I'm also a student member of MCC's board of trustees, active in the Women's Leadership Network, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, MCC's Commonwealth Honors Program, and Student Union Government Association.
Q: Are you living proof that I should get rid of my smartphone?
A: It worked for me.

Lest you thought either side was beginning to tire, the public spat between Dish Network and CBS rages on as Dish is now accusing CBS of, shall we say, encouraging Kaley Cuoco – one of the headliners of the network's hit series The Big Bang Theory – to remove a tweet expressing her appreciation for Dish Network's Hopper DVR from her Twitter account (picture right).
CBS and Dish Network are currently involved in heated litigation over Dish's Hopper DVR, which lets its subscribers skip commercials automatically.
As of now, these are just allegations. But with those allegations come some pretty weighty words from DISH and CBS alike. Joe Clayton, Dish president and CEO, released a statement accusing CBS of using its "heavy hand to hold back progress from consumers." The network responded with a statement that addressed Clayton directly, citing his "dubious gift for hyperbole and hucksterism."
Yikes! It's like we are in the schoolyard and there's a circle around the two companies, prodding them to fight. If we were scoring it on points, we might have to give it to CBS for one-two alliterative punch, but it could go either way.
In all seriousness though, it's tough to really glean much at this point as its unclear if Dish is merely speculating, or if it has tangible evidence of the de-tweeted Hopper plug. That said, it does seem awfully suspicious that Cuoco would suddenly have a change of heart about her post (especially after what went down between CBS and CNET). Even if she did take to removing it on her own, it stands to reason that she may have done so after considering her employer's entrenched anti-Hopper position.
Whatever the case may be, these soap-opera-esque morsels of drama are a welcome variance in the consumer electronics news cycle. Stay tuned for next week when DISH discovers its long lost evil twin brother.

The first meeting of the Asian-Pacific regional International Network of Pensions Regulators and Supervisors (INPRS), took place on 24 October 2001 in Beijing, China.
The INPRS was created during the First Meeting of the OECD Forum on Private Pensions held in Prague, 3-7 April 2000. Currently, it comprises more than 110 regulatory and supervisory authorities from over 60 countries. The current Network members have recently expressed their interest in beginning a policy dialogue with more countries from the Asian-Pacific region that are developing private pension systems. Today, membership of the INPRS in the Asian-Pacific region includes China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Malaysia, Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The World Bank and Asian Development Bank are also members. The participation of other Asian-Pacific countries is strongly encouraged.
The Asian-Pacific regional meeting was the founding meeting of the Asian-Pacific regional INPRS. It was the first meeting of the heads, or representatives, of private pensions supervisory and regulatory authorities in Asia-Pacific. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the best modalities to establish the regional sub-Network and related future activities. Representatives from 12 countries from across the Asian-Pacific region attended the meeting, as well as representatives from intergovernmental organisations including the Asian Development Bank.
The Asian-Pacific regional meeting was held back-to-back with the Workshop on Occupational Pensions in China, also held in Beijing on 25-26 October, 2001. This meeting was jointly organised by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security from the People's Republic of China and the OECD, under the aegis of the programme of the Centre for Co-operation with Non-Members, with co-sponsorship from the government of Japan and the government of the United States.
[Please note that access to documentation is restricted to participants of the Asian-Pacific regional INPRS meeting only.]

Bill Gold's poster for the jazz documentary "Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser."
During a career that spanned more than six decades, the innovative designer continuously revolutionized the art of movie posters, creating more than 2,000 of them, beginning with his very first assignment: "Casablanca" in 1942.

Born in Brooklyn in 1921, Bill Gold was captivated by the big screen at an early age, and after graduating from Pratt Institute, he landed a job, at age 21, with Warner Brothers.

Gold laid out the poster for "Casablanca" and did all the lettering by hand. As for Humphrey Bogart's gun: "We put it in the last minute," he told CBS News. "The theater people who projected the original trailer that we had and we had nothing in his hand. Somebody suggested, 'This is Bogart. Let's put a gun in his hand. That's the way he acts, the way he exaggerates his action. We don't want just a head of him. It's too boring! So let's put the gun in his hand.'
"And we put the gun in his hand and we photographed it with this whole image."

Charcoal sketches of the cast of the musical "My Fair Lady" (1964) were blended into a collage, with color added, and embellished with Gold's title treatment.
Throughout his long career Gold did not hesitate to try new styles in design and typography.
Sam Sarowitz, who owns a movie poster gallery in New York called Posteritati, told CBS News, "If you look at Bill Gold's work over the eras, it captures the times. And he was changing with the times with his designs."
Bill Gold's post for the Steve McQueen cop thriller "Bullitt" (1968).
The poster for Sam Peckinpah's violent western, "The Wild Bunch" (1969).
Gold's work is particularly powerful at setting a mood. "We try not to tell the whole story," he said of an effective poster design. "We try to tell a minimum amount of a story, because anything more than that is confusing."

Gold was working with some limitations when creating the poster for the horror film "The Exorcist" (1973), as in, no religious connotations could be made. Gold chose the haunting image of Max Von Sydow's Father Merrin arriving at the home of the possessed girl, a shaft of light piercing the darkness - an image that would become inseparable from the film.

Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino have landed their history lesson on World War II at the top of the box office.
Their war epic "Inglourious Basterds" took in $37.6 million over its first weekend to continue a late-summer revenue boost for Hollywood.
The haul for "Inglourious Basterds" was more than twice the receipts for the No. 1 movie over the same weekend last year, "Tropic Thunder."
Hollywood's busy season had been sliding for a month compared to last year, when the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight" dominated the second half of summer.
But this was the second-straight weekend that revenues rose, with "Inglourious Basterds" following a strong debut a week earlier from the sci-fi thriller "District 9."

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball has begun to review a
draft of George Mitchell's report on drug use in the sport, one of
the final steps before the results of his 20-month investigation
are released.
Baseball reviewed a draft Tuesday at the Manhattan office of DLA
Piper, the law firm that Mitchell chairs, a baseball official said,
speaking on condition of anonymity because Mitchell hasn't
authorized any statements.
The report likely will be released Thursday, and commissioner
Bud Selig does not plan to attend Mitchell's news conference, the
official said. Selig could have his own news conference or hold a
conference call, he added.
Baseball officials have said for several weeks that management
would be able to examine the report on performance-enhancing drugs
a few days before it is made public to make sure it does not
contain any confidential information that if released would violate
the collective bargaining agreement between players and owners.
In a statement to ESPN, MLB said: "Nothing is more important to Commissioner Selig than the integrity of the game. He looks forward to commenting on the report when it is released."
The start of baseball's review first was reported by the New York Daily
News on its Web site.
According to Daily News sources, the report is believed to contain 60-80 names of current and former players and is based in large part on information Mitchell received from former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski.
The joint drug agreement, which has been part of the labor
contract since September 2002, prohibits the commissioner's office,
teams and consultants from disclosing player test results,
treatment and other information except in very limited, specified
Mitchell, a former Senate Majority Leader, is a director of the
Boston Red Sox and served on one of Selig's economic study
committees. Selig hired him in March 2006 to investigate drug use
in the sport.
He's expected by many in baseball to be critical of the sport
for being slow to react to its drug problem in 1990s and beyond.
What they will be looking to see in his report is how he parcels
blame among Selig, club owners, general managers,
other team employees, the players' association and players
The revelation of players who have not yet been publicly linked
to drug use figures to be the most sensational part of the report.
Media reports have linked an array of All-Stars and MVPs to
performance-enhancers in recent years, among them Barry Bonds, Jose
Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Juan Gonzalez and Mark McGwire.
Bonds, indicted last month for perjury and obstruction of
justice over his 2003 testimony in the BALCO drug case, has denied
knowingly using performance-enhancers, as have Gonzalez and
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Dense fog continued to roll into the Chicago area on Wednesday morning, affecting Thanksgiving travelers on nearly 700 flights.
A dense fog advisory was in effect until noon for all Chicago-area counties in Illinois and Northwest Indiana. The fog covered the entire metro area, with visibility falling to a quarter mile or less in many locations with temperatures mainly in the 30s.
The impact on the airports wasn't unexpected. The National Weather Service predicted Tuesday evening that fog would roll in and "significantly impact" airports.
Close to two million people were expected to pass through Chicago's airports for the Thanksgiving holiday, and Aviation Department spokesperson Karen Pride advised people flying out of O'Hare International Airport to leave early and check airlines websites.
As early as 6 a.m. Wednesday, flights out of O'Hare and Midway Airport were being canceled or experienced delays. Several incoming flights also were delayed. By 11 a.m., nearly 500 flights were delayed at O'Hare and 158 were canceled. A little more than 200 flights were delayed out of Midway.
"It was terrible, the worst I've ever seen as far as fog goes. It was so thick," Thanksgiving traveler Candace Ashford said.
"It's crazy, but we want to go home so that's what you do," said Arielle Frederico of Elgin.
On the roads, the fog reduced visibility to as little as 100 feet during the morning rush hour, and drivers were urged to take caution.

From July 12 through August 17, the Art Gallery of The Graduate Center will present the photography exhibition Audrey Ronning Topping: An Asian Odyssey. Since the 1960s, Topping's famous photos have given the West rare views of unexposed and off-limits places in Asia, in major US and international publications. The exhibition includes her recent images of Vietnam and Bhutan, as well as earlier photos of Tibet, Xinjiang, and other areas of China. Gallery hours are Tuesdays through Thursdays, 12-6 pm. (An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, July 12, 5-7 pm.) The Graduate Center is located at 365 Fifth Avenue/34th Street.
The majority of the photos in An Asian Odyssey are images of Bhutan: in 2002, while visiting a Buddhist temple in Colorado, Topping met the Tulku or High Lama of the Gangteng Monastery in Bhutan, who invited her to visit his remote Buddhist Kingdom in the Himalayan Mountains to photograph a sacred Lama Dance festival. Also on exhibit are images of Vietnam, taken in 2005 when the photographer and her husband Seymour Topping, a foreign correspondent and later managing editor of The New York Times, returned to where they had been stationed during the French-Indochina war in the 1950's, and during the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
The author of five books, Topping has published work in National Geographic, The New York Times, Life, Time, Reader's Digest, Newsweek, Geographica Universal (Brazil), Harper's Bazaar, Art in America, and Foreign Affairs.
Her first assignment in China as a photojournalist for The New York Times was in 1966, at the onset of the Cultural Revolution, when Americans were forbidden by the US government to enter Communist China. Her photo essay "Journey into Darkest Red China" became the cover story of the Times magazine. In 1971, shortly before President Nixon's historic visit, National Geographic published a 36-page cover story of her work, titled "Return to Changing China," and Life, Newsweek, and Le Figaro (Paris) published her portraits of China's Prime Minister Chou En-lai on their covers.
In 1975 she broke the news of the archeological discovery of over 7000 life-size terra-cotta warriors buried with China's First Emperor in 221 BC. Since then, she has returned to Asia a dozen times on journalistic assignments, including journeys to Tibet, Xingjian, and Inner Mongolia.
Topping studied sculpture in Berlin and London where she exhibited her works at The Royal Institute Gallery, before she took up photography. She has exhibited her photographs at numerous institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Hallmark Gallery, Royal Ontario Museum, The Overseas Press Club, The Explorers Club, and Harvard University. In 2005, her photo exhibit "The Kingdom of The Thunder Dragon" was shown at the Mission of The Kingdom of Bhutan to the United Nations.

I don't think anyone is excited about the DVD release of "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" but it's happening and it's my journalistic duty to tell you about the new box art that's been released for the ass-to-mouth opus. The hit goes on sale on Valentines day, of course, and will include director commentary, behind the scenes videos, deleted scenes and some other random goodies. And by goodies I mean stuff that will make you throw up in your mouth.
Speaking of DVD releases, it looks like the A&E miniseries "Bag of Bones", based on the Stephen King novel by the same name will be hitting shelves on March 13th. Which is surprising because I didn't realize it actually aired already. Right now it looks like the only special features being included are a couple of short features about the series, which focuses on a father wrapped up in a bitter custody battle after the death of his wife. So get ready for that hot box to hit... That's what she said.
The birth of my daughter, my wedding day and the release of "Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance". These are the three things I've been most excited about in my lifetime. I put them in that order only because I know my wife reads my news from time to time. So here's a new TV spot for the Nic Cage sequel that hits theaters on February 17th. I love you honey and I'm sorry... just about everything.
And here's a new clip from Ti West's "The Innkeepers" which has already found it's way onto VOD. If you're not up to speed on the flick it focuses on two innkeepers who try to prove their place of employment is haunted before it closes its doors for good. Anyone ever listen to that band Vison Of Disorder. I think about them every time I write about a movie that's hit VOD. Also that it's because of bands like them that I never got laid in High School.
If I had to list my favorite Afflecks in order of awesomeness Casey would for sure be in the top five. Think it over, I'll wait. Good, now that's your back I'd like to tell you about how Casey Affleck has now been cast in the new flick "Paradise Lost", an epic tale of archangels Michael and Lucifer battling it out and how this impacted the downfall of Adam and Eve. Affleck will play Gabriel and I'd appreciate it if someone who knows about bible stuff tells me if that's a good or a bad thing.
AMC has pulled the trigger on a new talk show that will air immediately following episodes of "The Walking Dead" this fall. The show will be called "The Talking Dead" (get it!?) and be hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick. The more projects this guy takes on the less hope I have for a "Love Line" reunion. Didn't you always want him and Jenny McCarthy to get together? But no that home wrecking tramp Carmen Electra had to come in and ruin it all. Curse you Electra!
Oh Tom Six, you sick sick SOB. Today we've got a new poster for his new film "The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)" which looks to be a lot more human centipedey than the first one. Which I don't think is a good thing but it's something for sure. I don't know what to believe anymore.
And because you needed to see something that would make you want to overdose on some sort of cool drug the kids are doing that I don't know about here's the first full cast image from "Dark Shadows". For those of you not familiar with the original show it's some kind of vampire soap opera where none of the vampires twinkle in the sunlight. I think it was British too. That's a lot to take in isn't it? That's what she said.
Take "The Descent" and replace the monsters with creepy guys and add in more pillowing fighting and you've got "The Hike", a new horror flick from the UK that's got a sassy new trailer out for your viewing pleasure. Yes it looks a movie that's been done before but did I mention pillow fights? Alright the trailer doesn't really have any but I like to think it's going to happen... I've got a good feeling.
The good people behind "Super 8" have done an awesome job at not giving away the "big surprise" of the movie but mother of god over the past few days they've released enough clips to make me wonder if they give a crap anymore. Case in point is this new 6 minute chunk that's hit the tubes. I'm hoping by Friday they release the entire movie in clip form so I don't have to pay to see it. Keep your fingers crossed.
A gaggle of new "Conan the Barbarian" posters have been released and while I know the movie is going to be garbage I can't help but be excited. Except for the one that looks like a poster for a new gay porn, that one I won't get excited for, because that's not my thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
For those of you who thought the original "The Human Centipede" was too tame I've got some exciting news for your sick asses. Tom Six's second film in the series titled "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" has officially been banned by the UK film board. Apparently it's full of all kinds of sexual deviant type activities and was just too graphic to receive any kind of rating. Are you turned on now? Yeah you are you sick SOB.

How to write Kontact plugins
(Originally http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KDE3/How_to_write_Kontact_plugins , licensed as Creative Commons License SA 3.0 / GNU Free Documentation License 1.2.)
by Thorsten Stärk
This documentation is intended for developers programming on - or writing plugins for - Kontact. Kontact is a KDE program uniting several KDE components for personal information management under one roof. Personal information management is e.g. writing mails, planning your calendar dates or tracking your time. If you want to learn how to use Kontact, visit The Kontact homepage.

How to write a plugin for Kontact
This chapter demonstrates how to turn an existing KDE program into a Kontact plugin. This is done on the example of the program KArm from KDE 3.4.1. First, we will create a KPart out of the program, then, we will use this for a Kontact plugin. Then, we will look at some errors that may occur with that work. A KPart is a KDE component that can be used as a program, with the difference that it cannot run alone, because it needs a program building a "mainwindow" for it.
How to create the KPart
To turn our KDE Program into a KPart, we create a verbatim KPart with KDevelop and copy it over to our program's source directory. For this, I assume, you want to modify the program karm from KDE 3.4.1 and it can be found in /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/karm. I assume your home directory is /home/user and you are on KDevelop 3.2.0.
Start KDevelop, close all open projects (Project -> close), then chose Project | New Project -> C++ -> KDE -> Application Framework (KParts). Set "Application Name" to "karm", continue as instructed. Now test your verbatim KPart by executing it in KDevelop. Expected result is a "Could not find our part".
This is because you do not yet have the KPart installed. KDevelop will store your work in /home/user/karm/, so test your verbatim KPart by doing a make install in /home/user/karm/ and executing the KDevelop project. Expected result is a text-editing window, the verbatim KPart.
KDevelop has created karm.h, karm.cpp, karm_part.h, karm_part.cpp, karm_part.desktop and Makefile.am in home/user/karm/src/. karm.h and karm.cpp just open a mainwindow and display the karm_part in it. We do not need them, as we already have a mainwindow for our program. So copy the files karm_part.* to /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/karm and adapt the files to display your main widget instead of a text editor. You may want to replace QMultiLineEdit by your main widget. Finally adapt the Makefile /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/karm/Makefile.am to include the added files. This is hard to generalize, I show it here for the KArm program.
You may want to have a look at the diff between the old and the new Makefile.am. Now replace karm_SOURCES by libkarm_shared_la_SOURCES and remove main.cpp from the list. Add a noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libkarm_shared.la before that line. That causes that all the karm files will not be bound to a binary karm, but to a library libkarm_shared.la. This binary can then be used to link as well karm as our KPart. Add libkarm_shared.la to karm_LDADD before that line, place a karm_SOURCES=main.cpp. These lines now draw the library libkarm_shared.la. Finally, add a kpart section as from /home/user/karm/src/Makefile.am to karm's Makefile.am. This should look like this:
################## # KPART SECTION ################## kde_module_LTLIBRARIES = libkarmpart.la # the Part's source, library search path, and link libraries libkarmpart_la_SOURCES = karm_part.cpp libkarmpart_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version -no-undefined $(KDE_PLUGIN) $(all_libraries) libkarmpart_la_LIBADD = libkarm_shared.la $(LIB_KPARTS) $(LIB_KFILE) \ -lkdeprint $(top_builddir)/libkcal/libkcal.la \ $(top_builddir)/kresources/remote/libkcal_resourceremote.la \ $(top_builddir)/libkdepim/libkdepim.la $(LIBXSS) # this is where the desktop file will go partdesktopdir = $(kde_servicesdir) partdesktop_DATA = karm_part.desktop # this is where the part's XML-GUI resource file goes partrcdir = $(kde_datadir)/karmpart partrc_DATA = karmui.rc
After that, test your changes of Makefile.am. You have to do make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure && make in /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/.
Warning: running ./configure && make is not enough. Makefile.am's are processed by make -f Makefile.cvs. Install your KPart, e.g. with make install. Then test your KPart:
- Start Konqueror, chose Settings | Configure Konqueror ->
File Associations | text -> calendar. File name patterns are "*.ics". Chose Embedding -> Show files in embedded viewer -> Add -> karmPart -> Apply.
- right-click onto a .ics-file and chose "preview in embedded
viewer -> karmPart"
- verify that Konqueror now is the "mainwindow" for your KPart.
Konqueror will show what was shown by your application before.
How to get the Kontact plugin
You best clone a little Kontact plugin and then adapt it to your program.
Warning: Do not copy any directory within your svn working copy, change it and re-commit. Every folder in the working copy contains a subfolder .svn/ which will direct your commits to the original folder. Better do it that way:
- create a folder /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/kontact/plugins/karm
- copy only Makefile.am, multisynk_plugin.cpp, multisynk_plugin.h, multisynkplugin.desktop from /home/user/svn/3.4.1/kdepim/kontact/plugins/multisynk/ to ../karm/
- rename the four files and adapt them to their new names
- adapt the karmplugin.desktop file to point to your KPart's library, in this case X-KDE-KontactPartLibraryName=libkarmpart
You see, the deciding step is to tell a .desktop file to use the libs of a KPart. The only modification on the plugin's code is related to renaming the files. That is elegant.
- give your plugin a distinct name
- add your plugin folder (karm) to the makefile for kontact plugins (in your kdepim folder under kontact/plugins/Makefile.am):
SUBDIRS = $(KPILOT_KONTACTPLUGIN) kaddressbook kmail knotes korganizer \
summary weather knode newsticker multisynk specialdates akregator karm
- make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure && make && make install your kdepim
- test your plugin
- start Kontact, chose Settings|Configure Kontact -> Configure
- verify that you find your program's plugin to be chosen there.
- the program no longer sets it icons correctly
- this pitfall occurred as well in the plugin as in the KPart due to the fact that my program was using UserIcon to load the Icons instead of the KIconLoader. UserIcon looks for the application name to find out the icons' path. As there was no application (only a KPart), it gave up on searching the icons.

Campaigning against the influence of creationism in the UK Science Classroom
Moderator: Moderators
Marc have you read my points which Brian has summarised in the above. What you give whenever you're asked for evidence is a load of random, meaningless creationist terms. They do not constitute logical explanations by any stretch of the imagination. Eg beauty in nature is a statement not evidence! As pointed out, for all it's beauty naure is cruel and not well designed (see what I've put earlier-you know the points you never respond to) a materials scientist or engineer would do a better job.I think we've been here before: cue versions of
All things bright and beautiful,
The little spirochaete...Then move on to the eye-devouring worm etc. etc. ad nauseam.
Yes and every time guys like you come out with that we give you the answer.
The fact that you are against creationism is your choice but please do not use the old straw man arguments when your have been given a perfectly logoical explanation...
marcsurtees wrote:I became a creationist when I became a Christian. It is fundamental to Christian belief that there is a creator.
I never rejected science, (I chose a scientific career in biology and clinical research) but I did reject the idea of common descent, and a billion year old earth, because the evidence was not compelling enough.
So I remained a creationist because there was no good scientific reason to doubt that God did it the way He said He did it.

In what way did you find the evidence for a billion year old Earth not compelling enough? Especially if the alternative is a mere 6,000 years. Are you accepting the latter uncritically simply because you are not completely scientifically convinced of the former?
And we're back to the beginning yet again, where you ignore all the work that is being done, the magnitude of the task, and the very plausible hypotheses. Go back and read what Psi said about it earlier on or try some of the newer literature. Maybe something that Ken hasn't already ok'd. It is a problem that will eventually be solved but it is a huge task. Also you can keep looking for failure forever, it still doesn't give you POSITIVE evidence of a designer does it. Oh and you seem to have forgotten to do the favourite creationist cliche/lie about scientists waiting round for chemicals to organise themselves into cells yet ha ha ha.marc wrote: One way would be to try and falsify the hypothesis that life comes from living things.
I would try to image how life could have evolved from non-living chemicals and do some experiments to see if it was possible, after each failure I would try refinements and look for other plausible scenarios.
But when I see that the reports in the literature show that this has been done and after decades of effort are still showing that all the possibilities are dead ends, I would begin to be rather confident that a designer was the best explanation...
Discontinous!?! Happens all the time. Or am I not made from chemicals? If not what am I made from?Marc wrote: chemistry to biology
Where in the literature does it state these are discontinous? Where is your evidence that they are discontinous. Where is your POSITIVE evidence for the book of genesis-anachronistic fossils, dating method that gives 6000 years and evidence FOR design (taking into account all I've said before)? Try looking at some biology books. Try talk origins. Try talking sense.really do not have the time to list all the evidence... but if you read the literature it is everywhere...
but here are a few examples of discontiniuity.
chemistry to biology
Prokaryote to eukaryote
single cell to multicellular life...
The origin of limbs, jaws, wings...
Or perhaps for the mud to flow into a pub and become transformed therein? At least that way you could wait inside the pub.cathy wrote:Your logic suggest what the way to support abiogenesis would be to try to to falsify your hypothesis that men come from mud by standing by a muck hole (or pubs as we call them here) waiting for a man to appear.

In addition it includes Aikido, Yoga and Pilates classes, beach walks, guided walks and cycling – all to help make the process of the Juice Master Detox more enjoyable and help the body to detox properly.
Bluestone and Juice Master is a perfect combination. The luxurious and tranquil surroundings of the five-star all-weather Bluestone resort, set in 500 acres of amazing Pembrokeshire countryside, combined with three days of a juice detox programme that has been endorsed by everyone from singer Beverley Knight to Mens Fitness Magazine.
"The new year is a great time to start thinking about your health and wellbeing. We're very pleased to be the first in Wales to host the Juice Master Detox and only the second other destination in the UK, said Pamela Joseph, Commercial Director at Bluestone National Park Resort.
"This is a great opportunity to spend three days in luxury and in the knowledge that you'll be leaving in a much better state, ready to tackle the new year ahead."
The Bluestone Juice Master Three-Day Detox New Year Break is £249 and can be booked via www.bluestonewales.com/juicemaster.* T&Cs apply and guests will share luxury accommodation with other Juice Master guests.
