Should the United States turn to Iran and Syria for help in reducing the violence bloodying Iraq? James Baker's Iraq Study Group, out this week with its well-leaked recommendations, thinks direct talks with Tehran and Damascus would be a fine idea. I think so too -- right after those governments switch sides in the global jihad.
As things stand now, however, negotiating with Iran and Syria over the future of Iraq is about as promising a strategy for preventing more bloodshed as negotiating with Adolf Hitler over the future of Czechoslovakia was in 1938. There were eminent "realists" then too, many of whom were gung-ho for cutting a deal with the Fuehrer. As Neville Chamberlain set off on the diplomatic mission that would culminate in Munich, William Shirer recorded in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Britain's poet laureate, John Masefield, composed a paean in his honor. When the negotiations were done and Czechoslovakia had been dismembered, the prime minister was hailed as a national hero. FDR saluted him in a two-word telegram: "Good man." The Nobel Committee received not one, not two, but 10 nominations proposing Chamberlain for the 1939 peace prize.
But 1939 would see neither peace nor prize. Chamberlain and his admirers had been certain that Munich would bring "peace in our time." Instead it helped pave the way for war.
When democracies engage with fanatical tyrants, the world becomes not less dangerous but more so.
How many times does the lesson have to be relearned? There is no appeasing the unappeasable. When democracies engage with fanatical tyrants, the world becomes not less dangerous but more so.
That wasn't the fashionable view in 1938, however, and it isn't popular today. According to a new World Public Opinion poll, 75 percent of Americans agree that to stabilize Iraq, the United States should enter into talks with Iran and Syria. "I believe in talking to your enemies," James Baker declares. "I don't think you restrict your conversations to your friends."
But with totalitarian regimes like those in Iran and Syria, the effect of such "conversations" is usually negative. It buys time and legitimacy for the totalitarians, while deepening their conviction that the West has no stomach for a fight. No one was more pleased with Chamberlain's diplomacy than Hitler, for it proved that Germany was in the saddle, riding the democracies -- that the momentum was with Berlin, while London and Paris were flailing. The Baker panel's recommendations will bring similar satisfaction to Tehran and Damascus.
Shortly after 9/11, President Bush famously declared that every nation "now has a decision to make: Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." At every step of the way, Iran and Syria have unambiguously been with the terrorists.
As the world's foremost sponsors of radical Islamic violence, the State Department reported in April, "Iran and Syria routinely provide unique safe haven, substantial resources, and guidance to terrorist organizations." While the Assad regime engineers the assassination of Lebanese politicians, Iran's rabid president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calls openly for "death to America" and demands that Israel be "wiped off the map."
Syria was Saddam Hussein's most dependable Middle East confederate, and almost from the moment the Iraqi insurgency began it was clear that Damascus was pouring fuel on the fire. Iran, too, works overtime to intensify the Iraqi bloodshed. ABC News reported last week on the discovery of "smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories." Among the finds: "advanced IEDs designed to pierce armor and anti-tank weapons." In other words, to murder US troops.
No regimes on earth have more to gain from an American defeat in Iraq than the theocracy in Iran and the Assad dictatorship in Syria. They have every incentive to aggravate the Iraqi turmoil that already has so many Americans clamoring for withdrawal. "There is no evidence to support the assumption that Iran and Syria want a stable Iraq," writes Middle East Quarterly editor Michael Rubin, whose experience in the region runs deep. "Rather, all their actions show a desire to stymie the United States and destabilize their neighbor. More dangerous still . . . is the naive assumption that making concessions to terrorism or forcing others to do so brings peace rather than war."
The war against radical Islam, of which Iraq is but one front, cannot be won so long as regimes like those in Tehran and Damascus remain in power. They are as much our enemies today as the Nazi Reich was our enemy in an earlier era. Imploring Assad and Ahmadinejad for help in Iraq can only intensify the whiff of American retreat that is already in the air. The word for that isn't realism. It's surrender.

Ticket Guidelines
Table of Contents
Guidelines for Creating a New Ticket
You are about to file a new ticket. Please read this guidelines carefully.
When Should I Create a New Ticket?
Support and Installation Issues
Support questions should be asked using the contact form, not filed as tickets. Be sure to review the project's FAQ first, as a lot of common issues are already covered there.
Isn't There Already a Similar Ticket?
Please check whether the issue you've encountered has been reported before. You should definitively have a look at the MostFrequentDuplicates? page.
When you have an error message, it's a good idea to copy/paste it in the search box here, enclosed in "…" (for an exact match).
If not, pick a few keywords and do a search on them. If you have a more precise knowledge about the issue, you can try a custom query, where you can easily filter tickets based on various criteria.
If you're Still Unsure…
Well, create the new ticket, we won't bite you
Filing a new ticket
So the issue you want to report has not been addressed before, and you're confident it's about time to create a new ticket for it.
Please follow these guidelines:
- Maybe not necessary to mention it, but anyway: please write your ticket description in English.
- You should provide your email address (will not be publicly visible) - or register an account - so that we can ask for more details on the issue, if necessary.
- Provide a concise and precise Summary. As when you write an email, the ticket's summary is the first thing people will see about this ticket, in the timeline, reports and other places in Trac, so it's quite important to get it right.
- What's the appropriate Ticket Type? Is this a Defect report or an Enhancement request? A defect is an existing feature not working as advertised, adding a missing feature is an enhancement request, no matter how important that feature is to you (you can use the severity field for ranking that). If it's neither (for instance a problem with the projects website) use Other.
- The Description is the place where you give all the details about the issue. Good descriptions for a problem report are the ones that make it easy for the developer to understand and/or reproduce the problem. To that end, it's usually necessary to give the following information:
- How To Reproduce: describe what you were doing when the problem happened. Someone following those instructions should be able to reproduce the problem.
- System Information: list the software components involved with their version (e.g. the Operating System)
- Stacktrace: if you have one, append it at the end of the description, enclosed in a
}}}block (see here).
- Please use the Preview button before finally filing the ticket. You may also want to have a look at the wiki formatting possibilities that can be used in the description.
- The following ticket fields should be correctly set by you:
- The Version of the software you were using. This can usually be seen in the About page/dialog.
- The Component specifies the subsystem of Trac in which the error happened or where the enhancement should be made. If you're not sure please make a good guess.
- The Severity is a rough estimation of the impact of the problem or the importance of the enhancement (see below for more details).
- The following ticket fields may be set by you (if you know what you're doing):
- The Complexity of this issue. Should only be changed (from unknown) if you can estimate the complexity. It may be set or changed by the development team when new insight into the issue exists.
- Is Blocking/Depends On references to other tickets this ticket depends on or is blocking.
- The following ticket fields should not be set/changed by you:
- The Assign to person will be deduced from the choice of the component or by the development team.
- The Priority should be left undecided until a developer will be arbitrarily set this
- The Milestone will be set by a developer when it's decided in which milestone this issue will be integrated. If a patch is attached to this ticket, the milestone will most likely be one of the next to be completed (depending on whether the ticket is an enhancement or defect).
- The Keywords can contain a few important words about the issue. There are some conventions about the keywords themselves, see below for more details.
Please take all these guidelines with a grain of salt, those are not strict rules, only hints for improving the ongoing development process!
Modifying a ticket
There are no special restriction on adding a comment to an already existing ticket (although the comment must be related to the ticket).
However, if you want modify the ticket in any other way (i.e. changing ticket fields) please follow these guidelines:
- If you want to change a ticket field please follow the "new ticket" guidelines for ticket fields.
- Don't change a ticket field without leaving a comment about this change (unless it's clear why you did the change). Note that you can't change the ticket's description. This can only be done by the project admins (see below).
- In most cases you should not close any tickets - unless they're your own and you come to the conclusion that it's invalid.
- And also, don't close or reopen a ticket without a reason.
- See also Changing and Commenting Tickets
Please take all these guidelines with a grain of salt, those are not strict rules, only hints for improving the ongoing development process!
More detailed explanations
This section contains no more guidelines but more detailed explanations for some of the ticket fields. It's not directly necessary to read on but it won't hurt and may help you to file even "better" tickets.
Ticket Fields Overview
A ticket contains the following information attributes:
- Reporter - The author of the ticket.
- Assigned to/Owner - Principal person responsible for handling the issue.
- Summary - A brief description summarizing the problem or issue.
- Description - The body of the ticket. A good description should be specific, descriptive and to the point. WikiFormatting can be used here.
- Type - The nature of the ticket.
- Severity - The severity of this issue, ranging from trivial to blocker.
- Priority - Indicates how fast this ticket will (probably) be handled.
- Component - The project module or subsystem this ticket concerns.
- Version - Version of the project that this ticket pertains to.
- Milestone - When this issue should be resolved at the latest. This value usually should only be set by the development team.
- Complexity - indicates how complex it'll probably be to handle this issue
- Is Blocking/Depends On - references to other tickets this ticket depends on or is blocking.
- Keywords - Keywords that a ticket is marked with. Useful for searching and report generation.
- Cc - A comma-separated list of other users or E-Mail addresses to notify. Note that this does not imply responsiblity or any other policy.
- Status - What is the current status? One of
reopened. Note that this status can't be set directly but is set implicetly (i.e. when a ticket is created it gets the status
new; when a user accepts a ticket, it gets the status
acceptedand so on).
- Resolution - Reason for why a ticket was closed. The resolutions are defined below.
Ticket Description
Only administrators can edit ticket descriptions. They are only edited to fix formatting errors, not the actual content. Occasionally, we may also add editorial notes, in order to not spread misleading information,or to summarize the current status of a long running issue. In all cases, it should be quite clear from the formatting what's coming from the original author and what has been annotated afterwards.
The Severity is a rough estimation of the impact of the problem or the importance of the enhancement. Each ticket is set to one of these values (where major is the default):
|meaning for defects
|meaning for enhancements
|basic functionality is not available until this is fixed
|should not be used for enhancements
|severe loss of data due to the defect
|highly needed enhancement
|defect with major impact
|big enhancement
|defect with minor impact
|small enhancement
|defect with little or no impact
|cosmetic enhancement
The purpose of keywords is to be able to generate pertinent and focused queries, so use them appropriately.
- General indications - influencing the ticket workflow
- needinfo - waiting on information from the reporter
- verify - the ticket looks to be a valid bug report, but it would be worth that someone actually reproduces it, mainly because the asignee can't reproduce it himself for some reason (different platform / browser / database, etc.)
- consider - interesting tickets, mainly for enhancements requests, that are worth to consider in the scope of a given milestone, but for which there's no commitment yet
- helpwanted - tickets which are looking for contributors
- review - review of the propose solution requested
- patch - a patch that handles the ticket is attached to it
- Other kinds of grouping
The reason for why a ticket was closed. These resolutions exist:
- fixed
- is used when the resolution of the ticket can be linked to some change in the repository, a code change, a primary documentation fix, a contribution script added, etc. For ticket type other, fixed is used even if there was no trackable change in the repository/documentation.
- wontfix
- the defect reported is not really out software's fault; the requested enhancement won't be implemented because we don't think it fits in the scope of our software and/or it can be obtained in a different way.
- Note: In some cases however, the issue may be left open even if the cause of the issue is not directly our software's fault, so that workarounds and user experience can be collected.
- invalid
- the defect reported was not really a problem; the requested enhancement is already implemented.
- junk
- the ticket was a test ticket, spam, etc.
- duplicate
- there's already another ticket about the same issue
- If marking as
duplicate, include referring ticket #s in both duplicate and duplicated tickets.
- In duplicate ticket: This ticket is duplicate of #1234
- In original request: #2345 has been marked as duplicate of this ticket
- We usually let open the ticket which contains the most up-to-the-point discussion about the issue, the one which contains an appropriate patch, or other than that, the oldest ticket.
- Finally, if it's the nth time such a duplicate has been created, it's about time to list it in the ticket duplicates hall of fame, i.e. the MostFrequentDuplicates? page.
- If marking as

Celestial Treasure Hunt
Like a wise old owl peering into the night, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer will uncover hidden cosmic creatures, including the coolest stars, dark asteroids and the most luminous galaxies.
Text: Celestial Treasure Hunt
Text: Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer
Text: Amy Mainser, WISE Deputy Project Scientist
WISE is the Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer. WISE is going to find hundreds of millions of objects spread over the entire sky and for us, that's like a treasure map.
We think there are about as many grains on this beach as there are stars in the entire Universe. So the task of finding rare objects in the universe that we're interested in requires the maps that WISE is going to make.
It's a bit like using this metal detector here to try to find gold coins that are buried in all this sand.
Wise consists of a very modest size telescope about 40 centimeters in diameter that would sort of fit under your arm.
Text: All Sky Survey
Wise is going to survey the entire sky in four infrared wavelengths over six months.
All sky surveys are one of the basic tools that astronomers use to find interesting and unusual objects. It's sort of like the GPS of astronomy.
One of the most exciting things that you'd expect to find with an all sky survey like WISE is the unexpected. We expect surprises; things that we have no idea about today.
Text : Near Earth Objects
One of the projects WISE is going to be doing is studying the population of Near Earth Objects. These are asteroids and comets whose orbits get close to Earth's orbit. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to hit the Earth but we do want to pay some attention to them.
With WISE we'll be able to tell something about how many there are, what their sizes are and what they're made of; whether they're soft and crumbly like this ball of sand or solid rock like this rock right here.
In visible light, an object that's small and shiny reflects the same amount of sunlight as an asteroid that's big and dark. But when we look with an infrared telescope we're seeing heat that's emitted from more sides of the asteroid. So we get a better true measurement of the object's size and this is important because it allows us to tell whether or not the object is this big or an object that's this big.
Text: Luminous Galaxies
The maps that WISE is going to be generating can be used to find all sorts of rare and unusual objects. One of these objects is the most luminous galaxy in the entire universe, but finding it is a lot like trying to find one particular grain of sand on this entire beach.
Text: Brown Dwarf
One of the other rare types of objects that WISE may find is possibly the nearest star to our sun. We think that there is a good chance that our sun actually does have a closer neighbor than we already know about and it's very likely to be a cool type of star called a "brown dwarf." The temperature may be room temperature or even colder – maybe as cold as an iceberg, say.
With WISE we expect the unexpected. We're looking for new surprises and new discoveries. With this exciting survey, we're going to be finding a treasure trove of discoveries that astronomers are going to mine for decades to come.

Strikeforce is heading to the 209.
The California-based promotion today announced that lightweights Justin Wilcox (10-3 MMA, 4-1 SF) and Rodrigo Damm (9-4 MMA, 0-1 SF) will meet in the main event of Strikeforce Challengers 15, which will take place April 1 at Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif.
The event also features heavyweight prospect Satoshi Ishii (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF) against striking specialist Scott Lighty (6-1 MMA, 1-1 SF), as well as David Douglas (6-2 MMA, 2-1 SF) vs. Caros Fodor (7-2 MMA, 2-0 SF).
Tickets for Strikeforce Challengers 15 go on sale Friday at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT local time) at StocktonTickets.com and Strikeforce.com.
The event marks Strikeforce's first-ever fight card in Stockton, the famed hometown of the promotion's welterweight champion, Nick Diaz.
A former professional bodybuilder, Wilcox carries a five-fight win streak into the matchup. After opening his MMA career at just 1-2, Wilcox has since earned victory in nine of his past 10 contests, including key wins over Shamar Bailey, Douglas, Daisuke Nakamura, Vitor Ribeiro and Gabe Ruediger.
Meanwhile, Damm enters the contest looking to reverse a recent trend that has seen him earn just one win in his past four outings. The Brazilian lightweight opened his career at 8-1, but he's since struggled in high-profile losses to Maximo Blanco, Gilbert Melendez and Eiji Mitsuoka.
A gold medal winning judoka, Ishii competes in the continental U.S. for the first time against Lighty, a vaunted kickboxer who has earned four of his six career MMA wins via TKO.
"Tarzan" Douglas dropped his Strikeforce debut in an August 2009 bout with Wilcox but has since rebounded with back-to-back stoppage wins. He now fights Fodor, who also seeks his third consecutive win under the Strikeforce banner.
For the latest on Strikeforce Challengers 15, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

End User Observations
This section collects issues as observed by end users
Template for new entries
reported by NAME on xx/01/2009 - needs review
Description goes here.
Severity: undecided
Reason: unknown
Copying tables may not work properly
reported by NAME on xx/01/2009 - needs review
Needs further and systematic testing!
Original table:
CREATE TABLE `source` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL, `col1` int(11) NOT NULL, `col2` char(1) default NULL, `col3` varchar(50) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `idx_col1` (`col1`), KEY `idx_col2` (`col2`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CREATE TABLE `source2` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL, `col1` int(10) default NULL, `col2` char(3) default NULL, `col3` varchar(150) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
- Wrong column definitions (known issue)
- NOT NULL not properly handled
- Index information not copyied (same with JDBC, might be a Base issue)
Severity: undecided
Reason: unknown
Wrong column width reported for text/binary columns
reported by Ulf on 09/01/2009 - needs review
We discussed this before and it might be fixed in the current source, but I work on an older snapshot. We return number of bytes, OO.org wants number of characters. A typical follow-up error is that copying tables may fail and/or give wrong results.
From an earlier mail exchange:
Hintergrund: für eine VARBINARY(10)-Spalte in MySQL liefern wir aktuell 40, für eine INTEGER-Spalte in MySQL liefern wir aktuell 11. Wir liefern momentan 40 für VARBINARY(10), weil das Feld maximal 10 Zeichen aufnehmen kann, die maximal 4 Bytes für das Encoding benötigen. Für ein VARCHAR(255) wird sogar VARCHAR(255) der Wert von 3060 geliefert, weil hier der MySQL Server nochmal in einem seiner Datenfelder einen Mul tiplikator von 3 einbaut (255 * 3 * 4 = 3060).
Später am Abend fiel es mir wieder ein... wir ziehen getColumnDisplaySize() intern im Connector/C++ ran für ConnectionMetaData::getColumns() -> COLUMN_SIZE. rs_data.push_back(my_i_to_a(buf, sizeof(buf)-1, (long) rs3_meta->getColumnDisplaySize(i))); // Column size
Severity: required
Reason: unknown
Renaming a view not possible
reported by Ulf on 09/01/2009 - needs review
Tested with the native driver: Its not possible to rename a view, the UI does not offer the context menu item when selecting the view in the table list.
Severity: desired
Reason: missing SDBCX support of the driver. In general, tables can only be renamed when there is a css.sdbcx.Table object representing a single table, which supports the XRename interface.
(JDBC) Renaming a view "makes" it a table
reported by Ulf on 09/01/2009 - needs review
Tested with the JDBC driver. Create a view and rename it in Base. Base changes the icon in the table list and shows the renamed object as a table :-)
Severity: low
Reason: unknown
Removing records from views fails
reported by Ulf on 08/01/2009
Removing records from SQL views neither works with the JDBC driver nor with the native driver. Base sends a misformed query like: "DELETE FROM `test`.`v` W"
Severity: low
Reason: Removing records from views is in general not possible in Base. The fact that "Edit/Delete record" is enabled for a view (as in any table which the user does not have the DELETE privilege for) is a bug, which I fixed in the CWS.
Empty schemata not shown
Create an empty schemata/database. Create a new Base database which connects to an empty MySQL database. The MySQL database is not shown.
Severity: desired
Reason: OOo calls getTables() - no tables - schema not displayed. Setting might even be cached - verify that database becomes visible after creating table (from mysql prompt) in schema.
Create a new Base database that connects to a MySQL schemata "test". Have "test" in the connection settings! OOo will ignore it and query MySQL for all tables in all schematas, and also display all those tables.
As a consequence the user will see all schemata he has access to not only the schemata/database "test" as requested in the connection settings
Severity: desired
No default schema on table creation
Base does not preselect a default schema in the table editor dialog. Its does not even if you connect to a certain schema by specifying it in the connection settings.
Severity: desired
No way to set MySQL specific table attributes
The Base table editor does not give access to table attributes. Not even basic ones such as the Engine (MyISAM: non-transactional, InnoDB: transactional).
Severity: 1.1
Base does not recognize schema changes
After connecting to a database and opening a table once, Base will not recognize changes applied to the DB schema meanwhile when opening the table in the table editor again.
Severity: low
that's not nice, but consistent with other DB/Drivers. For this purpose, there's View/Refresh Tables ...
Table column comments not synced between MySQL and Base
Base table column comments are not synchronized with the MySQL DB and its schema. Existing comments are not displayed in Base, and entering comments in the table editor is not propagated to MySQL.
Severity: later
That's a known issue with all database types. The column description as displayed in Base is purely client-side, and stored within the .odb file only. There's also an issue for this, but I'm too lazy too search for it right now ...
Violation of FK constraint gives two errors instead of one
Create two tables. Have one table "derived" reference entries in the other table "source". Try to remove a referenced record from the table "source". MySQL will report an error stating that you are violating a FK constrain. When using the MySQL JDBC driver the Base shows one requester with stating something like "Error - (error message from MySQL)". When using the native driver you get an requester stating "error" and you can proceed to an error details dialog. In the details dialog you will find two errors. The first has no message, the second shows the error message provided by MySQL.
This is a common pattern. Cause any SQL error and you can see up to three errors when you quit the initial requester using the button "more". Quite annoying, for example, when writing SQL statements for a Base "Query" object.
Severity: undecided
The empty error message is ugly, but not the only one within Base, so that's nothing which will block an 1.0 release ... (Ulf) But why does it work fine with the JDBC driver?
Default values not properly processed
The Base table editor neither properly sets default values nor does it re-engineer default values properly.
Severity: 1.1
Again, this is a known issue. The default value displayed in the UI is a so-called "control default", which is applied to controls used to enter data into the given field. The DB-side default for a column is a different property, API-wise, and currently not evaluated at all. Probably not even properly fetched by most existing drivers.
Changing this is possible, but probably requires UI changes. First, we would need to define how the control default and the DB default should interact in the UI. A possible scenario would be to drop the UI support for the control default, and always use the DB default (even in controls), as long as the driver supports providing/accepting DB defaults.
BIGINT values crippled
Large BIGINT values are displayed in Base using scientific notation: 1e+15. If one changes the display format to number #.### the first 14 values of a large number (9223372036854775807) are displayed properly but then some rounding takes place, for example: 9223372036854800000. Connector/C++ can handle long long (L64) values properly and Base does use getLong() nevertheless the displayed value seems wrong.
Severity: undecided
I bet that's because of the number formatter ... processing numbers for display is done using a office-wide number formatter component. Unfortunately, it works with double-precision values only, which imposes a precision loss for certain values. This applies to "too-large" values, as well as fractional values with "too many" digits. This is a general problem in Base, and not limited to the MySQL Native Driver.
A possible solution would be to 'not employ the number formatter for certain column types. (Effectively, this means not using a
FormattedField for the respective table column in the data view, but a NumericField, which internally works with long integer values of arbitrary (?) length.) This would solve the BIGINT issue, though not the too-many-digits issue for fractional values.

INSERT does not work
Inserting data into a simple table does not work. Works fine when using the JDBC driver.
CREATE TABLE `source` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL, `col1` int(11) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `idx_col1` (`col1`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

information_schema (I_S) not shown in schema list
SHOW DATABASES shows the I_S. When quering the I_S for schema, the I_S will not expose itself. Different versions of Connector/C++ use different ways to fetch schema lists. Until and including Alpha SHOW DATABSES is used.
When using the JDBC driver and specifying no database in the connection URL no schemata are shown at all.
Severity: undecided
DatabseMetaData::getColumns() COLUMN_SIZE
DatabseMetaData::getColumns() takes COLUMN_SIZE from getDisplaySize().
Affected: DECIMAL/FLOAT.
Severity: required
Note: DisplaySize is not the same as ColumnSize. The former is a hint for UI processors which are to display the data in a tabular way. Currently, Base does not make use of this attribute. The ColumnSize's semantics is described in the Java API, and Base uses it in the very same semantics. As a consequence, COLUMN_SIZE is what needs to be tweaked.
DatabseMetaData::getColumns() DECIMAL_DIGITS
DatabseMetaData::getColumns() does not set DECIMAL_DIGITS. Therefore, Base does not show it properly.

Potential Issues
This section serves as collection of issues which might become a problem to end users, though we did not yet (bother to) create scenarios where users are hit by those (potential) problems.

Severity: undecided
Educate Base users on MySQL Server type mappings, for example BOOL[EAN] -> TINYINT.

Error message: Database not support relations.
We should hint MySQL users in the driver documentation that Base takes no(?) measures to clean up no longer needed indexes. MySQL's InnoDB needs some special treatment.
Severity: required
With 3.x, Base is able to administrate MySQL's relationships (via the ODBC/JDBC bridge), so the native driver should be able to do this, too. At least with approximately the same set of bugs as the "old" driver :)
insert data in table not possible
reported by CLU on 12/01/2009
create any table with pk → not possible to insert data into table
Severity: required
Investigation: The driver currently returns an empty result set when being asked for the table privileges:
getTablePrivileges( null, "schema", "table" ). Debugging deeper seems to indicate that parsing the result of a "SHOW GRANTS" query is flawed.

New tables shown after "refresh tables" but (delete) rights/grants wrong?
reported by Ulf on 08/01/2009
Create some tables in MySQL. Start Base and browse the table list. Create a new table in MySQL (not in Base!), make sure it has a PK, add some records. Select View->Refresh tables. Base will show the new table. Try to remove a row from the newly created table. Base rejects the delete operation stating that the user as insufficient rights.
Investigation: This is a general problem currently,
DatabaseMetaData::getTablePrivileges returns wrong data (all the time? sometimes? andrey claimed to have fixed this, but the fix does not work for me). If I fake the getTablePrivileges implementation to return the full set of privileges regardless the table being asked for, then the problem does not happen.

Base shows numerical DECIMAL columns as TEXT (in the table editor?).

Investigation: column is reported as

Subforms do not work
Well, some of them do ... more precisely, SQL statements with named parameters (":param_name") do not work in general. The ODBC/JDBC driver wrapper used to replace them with unnamed parameters ("?"), since MySQL does not understand them, but the native driver does not do this, yet. Since subforms usually make heavy use of such named parameters, they currently fail.
Severity: required
Fixing this should be easy, at least so it is as usable as with other DBs/drivers, in particular with the existing MySQL-(O/J)DBC bridge. Before sending statements to the server, the driver must replace (unless the statement's
EscapeProcessing is
FALSE, of course) named parameters with anonymous ones. The disadvantage is that this only works when Base itself can parse the statement, and that it potentially changes the statement. However, both statements are true for all other DBs which do not support named parameters, too.

Homily at the Mass of Christian Burial for John A. Dowdle
April 26, 2004 – Sts. Faith Hope & Charity Church / Winnetka
My friends: we gather with the Dowdle family this morning because we believe so strongly in the sacredness of the gift of life. Suddenly the truth that death is also a fact of life grabs us so forcefully as we celebrate John Dowdle's living and dying and rising with Jesus Christ. As we bring John to God this morning, we offer to you, Julie -- as well as to your children and grandchildren and extended family – our sympathy and prayers. We promise to walk with you all long into the future.
We often hear that the stories and experiences of our lives are really tales of God's handiwork. Certainly the buzz at the wake yesterday generated countless personal and family adventures with this special man of family and faith. For a few minutes this morning, I would like to connect some of these stories to the readings we have heard.
Dinner-time in the Dowdle home has always been a great adventure...how could it be otherwise with 11 children plus other guests and hangers-on who would find their way to the table. Dowdle dinners begin with a grace that has a special ending. It goes: "May those who hunger have bread; and may we who have bread hunger always for your justice and peace." These words embody just one of the lessons John & Julie passed along to their family – lessons like those Paul speaks about in our first reading. These lessons speak volumes about John's openness, his presence, his kindness and commitment to all those he met in any given day – family and friends, clients at E.F. Hutton, those he prayed with in Church and traveled with on the train, the milk man, the paper boy, people of stature around the city or within the Church, common people like Willy, a street person John came to know at Willy's favorite begging spot just outside Northwestern station. No matter what race or religion, politics or background, John always gave you a warm welcome. As Sheila said: "If you walked into the room, Dad put down what he was doing to listen to you. He always had time." Kathy & Julie added: "He would listen to you with his fingers going. Then, when you finished, he would put his hands down and give you his best reaction, insight, and advice." Only God knows how many thousands of people John helped in ways modest or substantial. Think of yesterday's buzz at the wake and imagine the mighty army who stood at St. Peter's gate to welcome John home.
I was a green scholastic at Loyola Academy when Fr. Jim Arimond invited me to come with him for dinner at the Dowdle home after a Rambler football game. After a delicious meal we were sharing conversation in the family room when all of a sudden I fell asleep on the couch. No matter to John – he calmly suggested it was time for all of us to get back to homework and a good night's sleep before the challenges of the new week.
A few years later, as young administrators, both Jim Arimond and I profited so much from John Dowdle's wisdom and good common sense. No matter what the challenge; no matter how knotty the problem, John could always find a fresh strategy, a new perspective, a creative alternative to pursue. I know this is the experience of so many who came to John's office at E.F. Hutton or his 2nd floor hideaway at 1012 Romona to pour over some challenge of business or church, school or family relationship. John was always his own man, always free. Out of that freedom he became an insightful leader, a thoughtful and loyal mentor. In addition to his outreach to so many lay people, John was an incredibly loyal co-worker to so many priests and Catholic institutions. Because of this expertise – among many other similar honors – John served as the first lay Board chair at Loyola Academy. He did so at a critical time for Loyola's health and stability.
I invite all of us present today to recall similar experiences of your own relationship with John. These adventures represent what the first reading describes as "all that is lovable and gracious, excellent and admirable." They certainly mark John's inner strength, his loving kindness, and his wry sense of humor.
In this connection, I speak especially to the 33 of you who are John & Julie's grandchildren: find some quality from your Grandpa's life that means something special to you. Work on that quality; let it grow and shine bright in your own daily living. After all, isn't it through the gifts that others share with us along life's road that God shows us how to let the commitment of faith take root and grow strong in our hearts?
This brings us to the words of this morning's gospel: Jesus says: "have faith in God and faith in me...I am indeed going to prepare a place for you...I am the way and the truth and the life." It didn't take very long before one realized that these words were deep-felt realities that anchored John Dowdle's daily living. His daily rituals of prayer fueled his openness to others, his generosity of spirit, his humor and hope. So what would happen in each of our lives if you and I really lived these words. What difference would it make in our attitudes and actions if we really let Jesus be for us the way and the truth and the life? What if we were able to hand over our plans and schemes with honest faith in God, letting Jesus be our best companion and mentor and friend? How would our lives be better? How would our relationships come alive? What minor miracles would take place in our homes and in our world because of such commitment and belief?
This leads me to observe that John's commitment and belief were so wonderfully grounded in his relationship with his wife Julie. They have been and will certainly continue to be an amazing team. And these past years, through her loving care, Julie gave so many extra innings to John's life.
Two final experiences for us to pray over: a day or so before Cardinal Bernardin died, Julie & John were invited to the Cardinal's residence on North State Parkway. When they got to the Cardinal's bedroom, John asked if he could pray aloud. Then he got down on his knees and began softly to say the rosary. Since he didn't have his beads with him, he counted the Hail Marys on his fingers. Soon, from other rooms, Cardinal Mahoney and other bishops, along with the policeman on duty and other guests came into the room and joined the prayer. It seemed like more than coincidence last night that Cardinal George came to pay his respects. As John had led prayers for Cardinal Bernardin, here was Cardinal George leading all of us in prayer for John.
Last Wednesday evening all the Dowdle children who were in town -- along with their spouses and their Mom and Fr. Jim Arimond -- gathered for pizza in and around John's hospital room in the Hospice of the North Shore at Evanston Hospital. Rick described the energy and humor of the evening as reminiscent of family dinners at 1012. A bit later Fr. Arimond led all those present in celebrating the Eucharist...John's final Mass here in this life.
We gather this morning in a similar way, continuing to celebrate the hope and peace and
joy that are ours through the dying and rising of Jesus. And we believe in faith that John
gathers with us from his place in the communion of saints. For John now – in an amazing
way that we also can look forward to – the Risen Jesus truly is his way, his truth, and his life.
For all of us, joined this morning in Eucharist --"May those who hunger have bread; and may we who share the Bread of Life this morning hunger always for God's justice and peace."
-- Larry Reuter, S.J.

Last spring we were the event coordinators for a wedding here on the central coast in Templeton California! Summer and I helped the bride and groom design, create flower arrangements and coordinate the big day. Here are some pictures we hope you enjoy.
The bride loved succulents and had a picture of a bridal bouquet that she loved. We got our inspiration from there and expanded. An urn with a large bouquet was on each side of the door at the front of the aisle.
The boutonnieres and corsages were designed with succulents grown by the bride several months before the wedding, and the matron of honor carried a bouquet similar to the bride's.
The bride walked down an aisle covered with rose petals. The ceremony was in front of the hacienda under the trees. The guests sat in a semicircle around the bride and groom.
The reception was in the back of the Hacienda overlooking the hills. Cocktail tables with simple centerpieces were scattered around the patio. We took three wine bottles, wrapped them with lace and green jute and filled them with roses and some fill.
Appetizers and desserts were served after the wedding. Brownies, cookies and wedding cake decorated the table under a pergola. A chandelier hung over the table. Tara Stumph did a fabulous job with appetizers. It was nothing short of spectacular! Hostess du Jour designed the dessert buffet.
The cake was a work of art done by Amanda Craner. The lace from the flower arrangements and succulents from the garden were used to decorate and the cake was displayed on the dessert table. Flowers were arranged by Hostess du Jour. Photos were taken by Summer Schmitz. And the special moments were capture by Ryan Lee Films.
Thank you Jason and Lina for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. It was so beautiful. You both did a great job planning and designing your day. It was a beautiful reflection of you both. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and beauty.

(Not So) Elementary, My Dear Watson: The Popularity of Sherlock Holmes
THIS IS AN ONLINE PROGRAM: The recent spate of Sherlock Holmes movies, television shows, and literary adaptations indicate the Great Detective is alive and well in the 21st century. Holmes is the most portrayed literary character of all time, with over 230 film versions alone in several different languages. Over the past century, Sherlockians created societies like the Baker Street Irregulars, wrote articles sussing out the "sources" of Doyle's works, and, most recently, developed an entire online world of Holmesian fan fiction. Sherlock Holmes is now a multi-million dollar industry. Why is Sherlock Holmes so popular? Ann McClellan's presentation explores the origins of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective and tracks his incarnations in literature, film, advertising, and modern media in order to crack the case of the most popular detective. Registration information will be posted soon.

Well—BeingPosted: May 17, 2012 Filed under: Symbolism Abounds | Tags: female friends, friendship, health, well-bearing, women 2 Comments
Recently I was asked if I would be able to accompany a friend for the day as she received chemotherapy. I immediately responded yes and made provisions in my schedule and other responsibilities to insure I would be available both physically and mentally. This was a first for me and for that I am so very grateful. The number of women, and men, who find themselves in the care of an oncologist is astounding—and if not for themselves, then for loved ones, be they friends or family.
However, this writing is not intended to be a story about cancer nor the ravage that such an illness can reek. This post is about friendship and the poignant lesson I was reminded of so graciously in the face of something so dastardly. The lesson being; that hope and insight can be born of such difficult trials is a tribute to the value of human interaction and connectedness. Upon reflection, the realization came to me, that the day we spent together had less to do about illness and more to do about love. The inspiration for this falls upon my friend, who, displayed exquisite dignity and charm in this difficult arena. An extremely courageous example was demonstrated, which will accompany me for my lifetime. She unknowingly granted me the gift of observing the astounding power of amazing grace.
We laughed a lot—some jokes were slightly off-color, as a way to deal with the realities of some of the physical challenges of having poisons pumped into your body.
As we were sitting in our small treatment room, during one of our planned-individual-laptop-times (this was preplanned, to give us a respite from speaking non-stop) my friend began to read an article to me which spoke about women maintaining good health. (So much for the verbal pause!) To paraphrase, the article stated that the best thing a woman can do for her health is to have female friendships. The point was made that women require this connectedness and the resulting communication of their shared female path, that only other women truly understand. I found the timing of her reading this to me to be very symbolic as we were, quite literally, in the midst of her striving to become well and enjoying friendship while doing so.
Being a minimal girlie-girl I have always had only a few female friends, this is what I told myself; that I felt uncomfortable with idle chat and discussions of clothing, hair and make-up. That of course, was just one of those fibs I had made up and told myself at some point in my younger years and never bothered to review or reconsider. There existed so many errors in that thought—clearly one of the largest being—that I had created a stereotypical falsehood regarding women. Another untruth; which I also fully believed and assisted me in further empowering my few-female-friends-strategy, was that I was fiercely independent. None of these thoughts were accurate—the cause of the discomfort with female friendships was my lack of the understanding for the value of these special friendships…and encouraging all of this inaccurate thinking, was my default setting—an inability to trust. I had conspired a belief to protect myself from the possibility of being hurt. (Not amazing grace.)
While in my thirties, two women who were in my life at the time, and who were the age that I am now, each shared with me words of wisdom. Which in my arrogant youth I promptly dismissed. One of these women had an adage which at the close of every discussion regarding a worry or concern, always ended with a summing up statement, "As long as you have your health." As a completely healthy young woman with no visible signs of aging and clearly no ability to listen to someone older, I internally rolled my eyes. There is the possibility—I actually outwardly rolled my eyes. Yes, I was that obnoxious at times. The other bit of wisdom, gifted and refused by me was, "As you grow older your friendships with women will become of paramount importance, nurture those relationships" Neither of these words of wisdom resonated with me and I filed them away, as a form of a lecture—and one that I did not need. I was incorrect.
These perceptions, were my shortcomings, my immaturity and my lack of experience of having lived a life. As a woman now, I have been enlightened to the meaning of friendships with women and how incomplete my life is—without them. While in my twenties, thirties and even my forties the fulfillment that I sought, I believed, would come in the form of a career, my appearance (hey, at least I admit it, I'm being brave here!) a husband and children. Okay, fine, the house and clothes counted too. Girlfriends and health were under-appreciated and if something needed to fall to the wayside, well, it would have to be one of those two. Family of origin seemed to fall somewhere in the confusing category of love, obligation and guilt—which is another subject—let's not go there! I also must honestly admit, spirituality was a distant consideration, if at all, as I attempted to create the elements that would bring meaning to my life. Silly girl.
It is incredible where fifty-five years can bring someone, well at least me. Perhaps I am a slow learner or my foundation was inappropriately set up, but today, my value system is forever altered. Spirituality, health and female friendships have now boldly and beautifully surfaced onto the criteria list of the requirements for feeling fulfilled and whole. And, a feeling of connectedness—being understood and the desire—the need—to not feel so alone—on this journey of the life as a woman. The previous list was not replaced or eliminated, I still require those things to feel complete—to varying degrees. The physical (my own and objects) has found it's proper balance—my awakening is the realization that my previous list was deficient. I am becoming more and more aware of the versatility of womanhood, the complexity of being female and I am choosing to embrace this. With the help of my friends.
The day after I had gone on the chemotherapy outing with my friend, I received an email from another friend with whom I had lost contact with, the timing was clearly not lost on me. After six months of neither of us reaching out to one another—she had taken the risk, the leap that I had chosen to take a pass on. Seems I still require some maturing. I asked myself if the last six months without communicating with her, without sharing our thoughts, concerns and experiences had been better. And that is when I was granted the privilege of experiencing amazing grace.
Friendships with women are vitally important and an aspect of what is necessary for Well—Being. Now that I can relax and not take myself so seriously (all of the time) I am free to enjoy the pleasure of asking a friend what eyeliner works well, discuss if we should just go grey—or to teach me how they managed to be so very courageous, so absolutely magnificent and amazingly graceful in the face of such difficulty.
I am grateful I continue to grow-up.
Symbolism Abounds!

VerlieAnn Leimomi Kapule Malina-Wright - Leo Reano Memorial Award
Cultural Educator to Receive NEA Human and Civil Rights Award
WASHINGTON - July 02, 2008 -VerlieAnn Leimomi Kapule Malina-Wright, Ed.D., teacher, principal, cultural advocate and activist, will receive the National Education Association's Leo Reano Memorial Award for her commitment to native language immersion programs and cultural education as part of the Association's 42nd annual Human and Civil Rights Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., on July 2, 2008.
"Ensuring that the native language, cultures and traditions of Hawaii are not lost is Dr. Malina-Wright's passion and purpose," said NEA President Reg Weaver. "She has brought about a sea of change in the educational system of Hawaii. Thanks to her efforts, centuries-old traditions have been preserved."
Malina-Wright has spent four decades advocating for and enabling the teaching of their ancestral languages to indigenous students. Believing that native cultural values and crafts can best be preserved through the teaching of native languages, she has worked tirelessly for education in the native Hawaiian language and has carried her mission for native language education to tribal councils throughout the United States.
Dr. Malina-Wright holds degrees in both business and education from the University of Hawaii at Mãnoa, and received her Ed.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles College of Education. Among the successful examples of native-language-based education has been the establishment and expansion in Hawaii of native language immersion schools for preK-12.
Not only has she advised communities and the state legislature on maintaining and expanding these schools, but she has also taught in them and used their example to advise other indigenous groups on the preservation of language and culture. Since 2000, she has been vice principal of Ke Kula Kaiapuni 'O Anuenue, a K-12 Hawaiian Language Immersion school, and has taught grades 6-12 in several summer programs in Honolulu.
"VerlieAnn has testified before state legislatures and the U.S. Congress on behalf of the educational needs of indigenous people and the vital importance of preserving cultures and cultural values," Weaver said. "We honor her for her leadership and her actions."
The NEA Leo Reano Memorial Award honors Leo Reano, a teacher, artist and interpreter. He was a member of the Santo Domingo Indian Pueblo and served on the All Indian Pueblo Council and the NEA Council on Human Relations. Reano dedicated his life to securing educational opportunities for American Indian/Alaska Native children.
The National Education Association is the nation's largest professional employee organization, representing 3.2 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers.

Camarilla Ireland
Camarilla Ireland
You can find us at Camarilla Ireland
Table of contents
What is Camarilla Ireland?
The Irish Camarilla is the Irish branch of the International Camarilla organisation.
What is the Camarilla?
The Camarilla is an international social organization sanctioned by White Wolf, Inc. which revolves around the gothic-horror genre set in White Wolf's World of Darkness. We are world-renowned for our continuous Live-Action Role-Playing (LARP) game that spans ten countries on five continents.
What is Live Action Role Playing (LARP)?
Live Action Role Play, usually abbreviated as LARP, is an extension of the more common table top role-playing game. LARP is quite different from table top gaming and is best described as improvisational theatre--a play where you are an actor who creates the script of the story by taking actions and making presentations. Because of its theatrical nature, LARP is more accessible to a much larger audience than many role-playing games. Players need to know far less about the rules and mechanics of the game though they must be more willing to become an actor and present the embodiment of the character they are trying to portray.
How do I make a Character?
New members introducing a character to the global game generally start with a character created using White Wolf's Mind's Eye Theatre materials. Characters advance through the accumulation of experience points awarded for game participation. Members can also earn the privilege of playing more complex or experienced characters through service to the club. Both reward systems are not based on time but on participation and organizational support and are equally available to all members.

Jays @ Astros pregame
Drove through a driving rain to get to ol' Osceola County Stadium here this morning and with an hour before game time the tarp is still on the diamond. The rain has let up, though, and I don't think a rainout is in our future.
Chatted with manager Cito Gaston about a few things today. One being that Vernon Wells, Travis Snider and Rod Barajas — all circled on the travel roster for today — did not make the trip to Kissimmee. Wells hurt his left wrist yesterday and had a cortisone shot, out for a few days. Snider jarred his left knee yesterday and Barajas is nursing a sore back.
Gaston said he doesn't believe any of the injuries are serious and the disabled list hasn't been discussed for any of the players at this point, even with the season right around the corner. Well broke the same wrist last year and Cito said the center fielder hurt it during his last at-bat yesterday.
Also talked about Shaun Marcum and Dustin McGowan, who continue to make their way back from injuries. It's been tossed out there that Marcum might be ready by August or September, but Cito says he doesn't see the point in bringing him back before next year. As for McGowan, he continues to be behind and Cito said he might be out of the picture until next year as well.
On the hill today is Ricky Romero, making his last bid for a job in the rotation. It's down to Romero, Brad Mills and Scott Richmond. Gaston still isn't showing his hand in terms of which way the Jays are leaning for the Nos. 4-5 slots. I've been saying Richmond/Mills all along, but now I could just as easily see them going with Mills/Romero.
We'll know soon enough…
Today's lineup:
Marco Scutaro, SS
Aaron Hill, 2B

Wells out again, Big money for what.Wells is starting to look like AJ Burnett. Way to go JP another bad deal for you a-sshole.
JB.are you going to take on the new job too.
Nice to see Cito telling us the truth about McGowan and Marcum. I think it's a good decision to put them both on the shelf until next year.
JP are you listening?
I wonder if all that talk Wells gave us about working out so hard in the off-season was true. It sure doesn't look like it was.
It looks like a rain out to me, what do you think JB.
Jb posted a start of 1.35 on twitter.
I thought he was going to post those things here first.
Well, it does look like Romero wants the job; nice quality outing.
garry i am not a big JP fan myself he is arrogant and concited. However he is the guy that drafted Mills, Romero, and Emanus ect. Singing Veron to a long term deal was very critical to the teams identity and future. I wish i had a crystal ball to tell me every time someone would get hurt I just might make money on proline. As for Wells hamstring injury, I think it was all a front to give Vernon some rest and some playing time to the younger Kids in camp.
JP has done an admiral job at the helm of this team, I do not think the players he has brought has been the problem, the problem has been in the managers he has hired.
Blue Jays will contend for a playoff spot this year but a lack of experince will be there short fall.
Good game Romaro best of luck in the bigs.
So, let me get this straight. The reason that the Jays have not had a sniff at the postseason for JP's tenure is not the fault of the players on the field, but the only other person on the bench (other than the trainer) that does not take the field? Sorry, but JP is going to be let go later this year, and with good cause. Unfortunately, it may be harder to get rid of some of the under achieving players he has signed to ridiculous contracts.
I just hope that we get a chance to see a lot of these young kids get a chance to play if injuries sideline the overpaid, overrated veterans!
Vernon Wells faking an injury has to be the dumbest thing ive heard on here in a while, and I've heard some pretty stupid things.
Well denoit I have to agree with you again about stupid remarks and 99% come from you.
When you make a remark like that you insult everyone on this blog including Jordan ***-hole.
Denoit-"I've heard some pretty stupid things." For once you make a post, I absolutely 100%, whole heartedly agree with. So get yourself some ear plugs sonny, so you stop hearing all those pretty stupid things, you keep saying.
Oh and by the way it's I've not ive. So what is going on here; Spectanator spelled both Vernon and Emaus wrong and you're quiet as a church mouse. And Garry called you ***-hole instead of what he should have said which is a…..sshole and again you say nothing. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
By the way, wouldn't your Mommy spot you the $100.00 to place your money where your mouth is, sonny or are you just a chicken s…hit like I thought, just big mouth and no action?
Denoit it's not that I disagree with you because your right wells would NEVER fake an injury but you just have a very rude way of posting your opinion. Wheither or not you agree with someone or not there is no need to resort to petty insults and spelling corrections! GROW UP!
I don't think JP will be let go. They'll respect his contract and he won't be back after 2010 (mutual parting of ways), even if the Jays would win the World Series between now and then.
I seem to remember Beaston saying he hopes JP stays for many years to come, shudder shudder.
I hope the new Prez. has a different view than Beaston.
I wonder if i spelled everything right.
Didn't I read last year that JP was told by his bosses to give Wells that deal?
If so, JP can't be blamed for that, no matter what else he has done.
I'm sure JP had a lot to do with Wells contract, All his
bosses did was put up the money.
You guys are all over denoit, and he said nothing wrong there, ihe stood up for Vernon. It was a silly opinion to state that Vernon would fake an injury, yes I'VE also heard some silly opinions here as I'm sure I'VE stated some myself in the past.
This blog is getting beyond dumb, I'M ashamed to follow it and wish I could stop but I like the Jays too much. The bickering is embarassing to me as a Jays fan. Seriously, man up and lets talk some baseball. I don't care about grammer, yes it is weird that GS can quote every stat perfectly yet not spell the name right but who the hell cares, you know who he means. Its a shame I have to worry if I spell I've with an apostrophe. Unbelievable.
You are all a bunch of pansy ***** if you ask me. Arguing over what? Bitttttches!
Vernon faking an injury is stupid so be prepared to take some flack when you say stupid things. Explain to me why he would fake an injury?
Gary lay off the sauce it is evidently screwing with your mind.
This blog can be good if people actually stick to Baseball and not this childish crap that happens all to often on this. I'm alway here because I'm a huge Jays fan but honestly I can't stand listening to some of you morons.
Same thing every year always one JERK to spoil it for everyone else, [DENOIT], Matty the only Moron here is you.
okgojays It's GARRY not GARY NOW HOW DO YOU LIKE IT.
As for Denoit It's not the first time he has insulted gsjays and you two would know that if you read all the posts, also if you don't like what I'm saying don't read my post and certainly don't respond to them[THANK YOU].
Also pea brain matty I don't drink.
Again Gary (and I'll spell your name however I want) well said. You are a true genius. I live in Sask too bud so feel free to invite me over for a beer or coffee and we can have a nice chat about baseball and the jays or any topic you care to enlighten me with.
Do you live in Moose Jaw rfatty39inchwaist.
Hey guys don't blame garry. Put the blame where it belongs and that is Denoit. He was warned mutliple times to clean up his act and post responsibly. He still hasn't, and I doubt if he will.
That being said, Denoit is getting what he's asked for. This board is here to talk Jays and express opinions of which every one has a different one. There is no need for personal attacks, abuse or nasty language directed at another poster.
Example is the post on Vernon faking an injury. That opinion was that posters opinion, and whether one agreed with that opinion or not doesn't matter. However, there's no need to call the opinion or poster dumb and there's not need to "give him flack" or attack him for it.
And to be frank a statement of "laying off the sauce and you'll be fine" and calling people morons is a perfect case in point. So rmatty, if you don't want abuse back, then don't post it. Oh-one last point, be carefull what you ask for, you might get it.
Congratulations, to Rickie Romero for making the rotation and Brad Arnsberg for his help in making that happen.
Its finally starting to feel like spring even in Saskatchewan! baseball season is fast aproaching and I cant wait! Congrats to Romero he earned his spot and looks like he should be a solid starter for years to come.
I belive we will see lane up here before to long, It looks like Wells will be on the DL a few times this year.
I don't think his wrist has healed yet nor his hamstring it may take the rest of this year and playing hurt can't help this team.
I agree on Romero. Like all young ptichers, he's going to have good and bad days, but with Romero,
after Arnsberg straighted out his mechanical flaw, I think it's all about confidence. This last game went a long ways to building that and I expect the more he succeeds the better he'll get.
Imagine, we might have 3 lefty starters. I'm not sure any other team has that. I'm wondering if that changes any of Cito's decisions on who goes north in the pen.
I'm concerned about Wells also, I didn't ever expect we'd hear about that wrist again. I thought he stated he'd really worked hard this off-season to ensure no injuries.
Saskatoon isn't far away from MJ and I pass through all the time. Have some relatives and a buddy that lives there too so I'll let you know when I'm in town next and we can hook up for that coffee.
Just looked at my schedule and I have a bike rally in MJ to Regina May 25th. Maybe we can hit up BP's for a bevy and take in a Jays game. I'm a nice guy Garry I promise.
Interesting articles on the Ryan situation in the Globe, Star and National Post in which Cito expresses concern about Ryan's performance and states Downs might be the closer until Ryan becomes more effective-which I think is what Cito should be saying and I agree with Cito.
The interesting part of the articles, though, is Ryan's reaction to what Cito said; it certainly wasn't positive. Ryan believes his performance today was a major step forward which I find surprising considering he gave up a run on a double and triple.
To date this spring, Ryan has gone 7 innings, given up 8 hits, 7 runs, walked 7 and struck out 6 for an era of 9.0. Certainly, not a closer's stats.
Frankly, I really hope Ryan makes it back, but he's damn dillusional if he feels he should remain in the closers role until he does. That would be giving games away and I don't think Cito gets paid for that.

The biggest abortion business in the nation is prepared to spend heavily to ensure the hundreds of millions it receives in federal funding continues, by launching an aggressive attack on presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the company that does more than 300,000 abortions annually and has endorsed Obama, plans to spend more than $3 million to target voters in the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia with ads bashing Romney for wanting to cut its taxpayer funding. The $3.2 million campaign will feature everything from online ads to old-fashioned door to door politics.
"We have purchased ad time in northern Virginia, in Columbus, Ohio, and Toledo, Ohio, because they have high concentrations of undecided voters or swing voters," Deirdre Schifeling, director of national organizing and electoral campaigns at Planned Parenthood Action Fund, told The Hill.
Mitt Romney hewed out another victory on Super Tuesday, chopping wins out in six of 10 states and edging Rick Santorum in make-or-break Ohio.
With the Ohio win, Romney averted what would have been a disaster. If Santorum had added the Buckeye State to his win column Tuesday, it would have dramatically changed the trajectory of the presidential race.
Santorum certainly solidified his position as the top Not Romney in the race, spreading his three victories across the country – North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The Oklahoma and Tennessee victories were also his first primary wins, having won only caucuses up until this week...
Lincoln, Neb. – Seven states filed a lawsuit Thursday to block the federal government's requirement that religious organizations offer health insurance coverage that includes free access to contraception for women.
The attorney generals of Texas, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina jointly filed the lawsuit in a Nebraska US District Court.
Two private citizens, two religious non-profit organizations and a Catholic school also joined the lawsuit against the contraception mandate, which is part of President Barack Obama's sweeping health care law.
The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare the law unconstitutional and enjoin the government from enforcing the requirement...
President Obama has been campaigning almost non-stop since Labor Day, but his political fortunes have hardly improved. Obama's September blitz through swing states, backed up with an aggressive media schedule, has apparently yielded little for the embattled incumbent.
A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Obama dragging a 42 percent job-approval rating in Ohio and already evenly matched by Republican frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney in the all-important Buckeye State, where Obama has campaigned twice in three weeks.
And so it is across the states where Obama has focused his efforts in this first round of campaigning.
In Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania, 51 percent of voters said Obama didn't deserve a second term. In Virginia, the lynchpin to Obama's 2012 strategy, a Roanoke College poll found the president with a 39 percent rating.
Tea Party activist David Lewis has announced he will challenge pro-life Speaker John Boehner next year in the Republican primary for his Ohio congressional seat. Lewis says he is running because of one issue — pro-life — yet he misstates and misrepresent's Boehner's pro-life record on abortion.
Boehner is "an establishment Republican," Lewis told The Enquirer newspaper, adding, "He doesn't believe in the Tea Party. He doesn't really believe in the pro-life issues."
Boehner's office has not commented on Lewis' candidacy but the local Republican Party chairman, Dave Kern, told the Cincinnati newspaper, "I have no issue on educating the public on the wrongs of abortion. But I think the young man is mistaken to try to do damage to a committed soldier in this battle.
Governor John Kasich signed a bill into law today that would ban late-term abortions in the Buckeye State after the state legislature approved it on a lopsided bipartisan vote. This legislation will ban post-viability abortions except when the pregnant woman's life is in danger.
In Ohio, a woman can legally have an abortion up to and through her ninth month of pregnancy. With the passage of H.B. 78 and the ultimate signature by Kasich, babies who can live outside of their mother's womb will no longer be subject to death via an abortion.
"The governor is pro-life, has been pro-life throughout his career and believes strongly in the sanctity of human life," Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said about the law that will take effect in 90 days...
A lawsuit in which Planned Parenthood was recently found to have violated an Ohio informed consent law has been "resolved and dismissed," according to the Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney who filed the suit.
ADF-allied attorney Brian Hurley represents the parents of a girl who, at age 14, was brought to a Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion by the 22-year-old soccer coach who impregnated her.
"The health and safety of young girls is far more important than Planned Parenthood's desire to make money on an abortion," said ADF Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden. "This lawsuit was yet another clear demonstration of Planned Parenthood's ongoing effort to put its profit margin ahead of the true needs of young women. If they truly cared about the girls who enter their doors, they would not be ignoring Ohio law and allowing statutory rape to occur so they can make money killing a baby.
The head of an Ohio-based political action committee is relieved that one Republican will no longer represent his state as the 112th Congress convenes.
Among the new senators sworn in this week will be Ohio Republican Rob Portman, who could be one of the most conservative members of that chamber in the coming years. According to Phil Burress, chairman of the Citizens for Community Values (CCV), Portman is pro-life and pro-business.
"Senator Portman is not only a conservative, but he is also a friend of mine, and I've known him before he even ran for Congress in the first place. So we're going to have a tremendous pro-life, pro-family senator who will be representing us," he reports...
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new slate of polls shows pro-life candidates holding leads in a handful of top Senate races, close in others and losing in Delaware. As Lifenews.com has noted, there is a chance pro-life advocates could take control of the Senate from pro-abortion leaders, including Harry Reid.
In New Hampshire, pro-life Republican Kelly Ayotte for the third month in a row earns more than 50% of the vote against Democratic Congressman Paul Hodes.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in New Hampshire shows Ayotte with 51% support to Hodes' 44%, unchanged from a month ago. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided....
Democrats have a mountain to climb in West Virginia.
The latest Fox News battleground state surveys of five key states shows Republicans in good position to gain two seats and hold two seats left open by GOP retirements. Democrats, meanwhile, are well-positioned to hold only one.
The polls in West Virginia, Connecticut, Nevada, Missouri and Ohio show varying degrees of success for Democrats in dealing with low approval ratings for President Obama and his policies...

I grew up in semi-rural, northern Indiana. There was a cornfield behind our house. This was the bane of my mother's existence every time they plowed and sent dust into her house. There was an empty field on one side, where my brother was allowed to play with his friends but I was not. Mother was always convinced I was going to be kidnapped. In later years, I decided that it wasn't so much that she thought I would be kidnapped as that she had kidnapped me herself and did not want them to come and get me back. This was in response to the fact that my mother is OCD and I have IWRPPTCH (I would rather paint pictures than clean house).
My lackadaisical attitude toward housecleaning has been the bane of my mother's existence forever. It was not an era of concentrating on the positive, with a child. It was the era when you wrote my mom a poem and she corrected the spelling and handed it back. When young, my paintings looked a bit abstract and that was considered "messy" too. The truth is, I am messy.
I have had three houses that I kept clean: 1. was a new house with plenty of storage and room, 2. was a house in Wyoming that only had husband and myself in for one year and was big, nice and I kept it clean. Then, my daughter needed a place and everything from the basement came up and five people moved into the finished basement, but I still kept it fairly clean. A year later, daughter's family moved out, mom and dad moved in and we moved down into the finished basement. We now live in a small house with two to three growing boys. It reaches status as a feature on Hoarders periodically, and I just don't care anymore. Upstairs we have 1 closet and no food pantry, or coat closet or any type of storage. I just cannot keep it clean.
Recently, a dear friend commented that she had so much fun when mom and I visited. I stated it was too bad I didn't have room for them to stay here when they were traveling through. My mother almost had a heart attack.
I've always felt inferior. It took me till I hit 60 to realize that it was not a matter of me not being good enough. i was even winning awards in painting yet never thought I had talent. But, one day, as mom was on her constant search for the perfect "whatever" I woke up and said, "It's not me. Nothing is ever good enough for mom."
