Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel:Cooperating with Wikipedia"
Revision as of 00:13, 13 November 2007
Wikipedia is a wiki-based encyclopedia project started in 2001.
There's a lot of indebtedness from Wikitravel to Wikipedia:
Note, however, that Wikitravel is not a Wikimedia project.
Welcome, Wikipedians
We have a special Welcome, Wikipedians page to introduce our project to people familiar with Wikipedia.
Sharing content
Wikipedia and Wikitravel use incompatible licensing schemes. Wikipedia uses the GNU Free Documentation License ("GFDL"), while Wikitravel uses the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 ("by-sa") license (see Why Wikitravel isn't GFDL for more details). Because the GFDL and by-sa aren't compatible, it's not possible to copy content, in most cases, between articles on Wikipedia and articles on Wikitravel.
There are some ways to do it, though. If you are the sole creator of content on Wikipedia, you can move it to Wikitravel; simply note on the talk page that you're relicensing it under Wikitravel's Creative Commons license. Moving content worked on by other people requires getting their permission first; since both projects share the copyleft spirit, this shouldn't be difficult. The process is the same for moving material from Wikitravel to Wikipedia.
However, think carefully before doing this, and discuss it with others. Wikipedia and Wikitravel have distinct goals, and forking large amounts of content from one project to the other creates wasteful duplication. In most cases, linking from one to the other would be a better choice.
Linking to Wikipedia allows people to access encyclopedic information that doesn't fit into the framework of a travel guide. For example, the entry on the United Kingdom should have a thumbnail sketch of the country's history, but detailed information on Henry VIII is inappropriate. A link to Wikipedia's UK article would allow readers to find non-travel related information about their destination of choice, without stretching Wikitravel beyond recognition into an "everything you need to know about everything" guide.
If there's a page on Wikipedia that covers the exact same subject as a page on Wikitravel, but from an encyclopedic rather than travel guide point of view, consider making a twin link to the page. And if you link to Wikipedia, it's also nice to link back from Wikipedia to Wikitravel as well. See links to and from Wikipedia for how to do this. You can also just add regular links to Wikipedia in the text of a Wikitravel article, using Wiki markup.
However, don't use links as an excuse to be lazy. Wikitravel entries should be useful and self-contained; links should provide additional information. Writing "Everything you need to know about France is here, except that there's a good bagel place in Lyon" is not helpful.
Specific projects
There are always various projects in the works at Wikipedia, similiar to Wikitravel's concept of Expeditions. Some of these could be used by both Wikipedia and Wikitravel. See, for example, the work being done on maps.
All Wikimedia wikis use the same software as Wikitravel. The software is called MediaWiki, and it's Free Software under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It's written in PHP, and uses the MySQL database engine to store page and user information. It was originally created by Wikipedia developers, but it's now used for a number of other projects (see sites using MediaWiki for a list).
Helping out with the MediaWiki software means that Wikitravel works better. It also shows that we're grateful for this great software, and that we want to give something back to the people who worked so hard to make it. It builds up goodwill, since anything we do for MediaWiki will help users for all the sites using MediaWiki.
Some things to do to help with MediaWiki:

"Phoenix Temple"
Nicaragua, in the middle of Central America, is home to Masaya, a huge volcano that has been active for more than 30,000 years. It has caused some of the largest eruptions known. Each time the volcano destroys everything around it, life returns, re-emerging in the ash at the foot of the mountain. G

First impressions are powerful, but they're not always accurate. When I first started my training, I was extremely angry at not only being denied the emergency department (my first choice), but being placed at yet another community hospital. I wanted to be in a downtown hospital so I could get away from the suburbs. The thought of spending four months in another 'burb became too much to bear. But placements happens so I begrudgingly gathered my belongings and went of to start.
While I can't say I love my placement (because commuting there is a complete pain in the gluteal area), I have been learning a lot (and not the clichéd kind of learning either). My first day after orientation began with meeting a sweet old lady who ripped two IVs out of her arms. Upon seeing her hands, gown and the floor soaked with blood, I let out a small scream (think Homer Simpson-esq), grabbed cotton wipes from the counter and applied pressure to those wounds like no-body's business. Later on, my preceptor complimented my 'quick-thinking' and proceeded to clean up the mess. I learned two things that day; 1) if a sweet old lady pulls out her IV lines, the next step after applying pressure and panicking is to flush the line out with normal saline and lock it up to retain positive pressure and 2) getting blood stains of shoes should be done as quickly as possible.
Yet another patient who made me temporarily forget my 'burb induced misery was an Indian gentleman who is extremely hard of hearing, named Mr. S. Mr. S is a very demanding patient because he did not follow the rules of the hospital, which according to CCC (that's client centered care for you lucky enough not to have it shoved down your throats) philosophy is perfectly acceptable. In fact, as nurses, we're supposed to honor the client's wishes. But not 45 minutes before shift change. Along with being nearly deaf, he has septic arthritis, which means he can't ambulate without at least two people helping him. Describing the sequence of events in a chronological order is the best way to relay the sense of urgency and despair that I felt while taking care of Mr. S.
1845: 45 minutes before shift change. He decides to start shouting at around. We (being me, my preceptor and another student nurse) decide to indulge his crazy plan because our charting and 1800 meds are done. Wrong choice. Mr. S. takes 10 minutes to decide on the water temperature alone – and then soils himself.
1900: ½ hour before shift change. Mr. S. refuses to let housecleaning come into the shower to clean up the mess. The Eastern European lady comes in, takes a quick look and aptly declared, "that's very stinky poo". Meanwhile, I vomited up my 0500 breakfast. The other student nurse then rubs my back and asks if I'm pregnant!!! No, not pregnant. Merely revolted. Following my 'pregnant' pause, Mr. S. spots his son outside the shower (because he was called by my teacher to try to calm him down) and he starts to shout, "YOU BETRAY ME! MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD BETRAY ME!" I believe sheer exhaustion and revulsion combined with residual nausea made me burst out laughing in the most inappropriate manner. Luckily he was hard of hearing and so my shameless laughter failed to further enflame his anger.
1915: 15 minutes before shift change. Mr. S. is smiling like a smug child who got his mother to buy him a candy bar after she refused to do so. "SISTER" he shouts. "Come, give me a warm blanket, a cup of coffee and something sweet to eat". Did I mention he's a very poorly controlled diabetic? His morning CBG reading topped of at 17 mmol/L. Not good.
1925: 5 minutes before shift change. "SISTER?", he shouts once again. "Where the hell is my bloody coffee? SISTER?". At this time, I have to remind him that he's not getting coffee or anything sweet because we don't want him to die in the middle of the night. "Mr. S. you can't have something sweet right now because your blood sugars are completely out of control. And it's almost time for bed. He replies, "you're absolutely bloody useless. This entire hospital is bloody useless. Go. And don't come back with something sweet for me. Some mithai (an Indian sweet) would be good".
1930: Shift change. "Good night Mr. S", To which he cordially replies, "You're all bloody useless bandars (monkeys)!! Never come back in my room!"
"You sleep well and dream sweet dreams sir".
1935: 5 minutes after shift change. I started to virox the blood and crap (literally) out of my shoes. "Frikkin crazies" I hear the other student nurse mutter to himself. "Hey, pass me another virox would ya?"
1945: We gave a very late report to the night nurses much to all of our chagrin.
2000: I never thought I'd be so happy to see my dad and his clunky old Nissan. "Hop to it popsie! I gotta shower and scour myself stat!" As usual, the day ended with a member of my family giving me weird looks while deciding if putting me in a psych ward would be a good choice or not.
Reflecting (yes, my school's favourite word) back on the situation, I wonder, did I honor the patient's wishes? Probably not. Was I patriarchal in my treatment towards him? More than likely, I was. Did I practice CCC? Absolutely not. I practiced MCC (Maha Centered Care), which involved pursuing nothing more than a hot shower and my bed because my feet, knees, hips and back were screaming for rest. Could I have handled the situation with something better than snide remarks, vomiting and laughter? Probably. Will I try to handle a similar situation with more tact in the future? Of course, but it gets very difficult when a patient doesn't respect your time.
So what do I think about my placement? I still say that it certainly is not as exciting as an emerg department might be, but the 'burbs still have the potential to leave one shaking their head at the end of the day. My first impression: You betray me!

Action is how wisdom changes the world. Without action, our knowledge and insights die with us. Through action, whatever virtue we cultivate in our selves bears fruit around us. When empathy and action come together we become healers. Love and joy, actively expressed, are infectious.
Uninformed or misguided action can be destructive, and much harm is done by people who genuinely seek to do good. But humble thoughtful action is what moves us toward a better world. When dreaming and doing come together we create the future. Action turns our visions into realities.

Horrific multi-car crash at the end of NASCAR's Nationwide Series race at Daytona Speedway [00:32]
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NASCAR fans were injured when large chunks of debris, including a tire, sailed into the grandstands when a car flew into the fence on a frightening last-lap accident in the second-tier Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. As emergency workers tended to injured fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration. The crash began as the field closed in on the finish line and sent rookie Kyle Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats.

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Monday presented a Rs 5,861 crore supplementary budget with maximum provisions being made for fulfilling the the promises made in Samajwadi Party`s election manifesto.
The supplementary budget--the first for fiscal 2012-13-- envisages among other allocations a provision of Rs 26 crore for improving sports facilities in Saifai, the native village of Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav in Etawah and Rs 50 lakh for `Saifai Mahotsav`, a star-studded annual gala event.
Yadav, who holds the Finance portfolio, presented the Rs 5,861.60 crore supplementary budget in the state Assembly.
The budget provides for Rs 400 crore for waiver of farmers` loans, Rs 450 crore for distribution of `Kanya Vidyadhan Yojna (education scheme for the girl child)` and Rs 200 crore for free water from canals and government tubewells.
It has also sought Rs 126 crore for MLAs` local area development fund and Rs 135 crore for roads and electricity in connection with `Kumbh Mela` preparations.
Yadav presented his maiden budget on June two to provide for his election promises like giving laptops to students and an unemployment dole along with a raft of sops for the minorities and the poor. He was sworn in as chief minister on March 15 after Samajwadi party swamped the ruling BSP in the Assembly polls.
The Rs 2 lakh crore-plus budget was 18 per cent larger than Mayawati government`s last one and increased allocation for social welfare schemes, education, health and infrastructure by between 14 and 34 per cent.

"The Central Park Five" is an unusually good documentary about an outlandish miscarriage of justice.
On an April night in 1989, Trisha Meili was beaten, raped and left for dead not far from a path in Manhattan's Central Park. Five boys between the ages of 14 and 16 signed confessions regarding the attack, which was the worst of several criminal incidents unfolding in the area that night.
The boys were African-American and Latino: Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise, all present, anguished, reflective and accounted for in "The Central Park Five." (McCray declined to be filmed, but his voice is heard throughout.) The victim, who eventually came out of a coma, was white. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may have been the one to complain about a "high-tech lynching" two years later, but surely this was the racially inflamed news story deserving of that phrase.
The teenagers served several years in correctional facilities. Then, turnabout: DNA evidence exonerating the five came to light. That, plus a 2002 confession made by serial rapist Matias Reyes — who admitted his guilt to one of the wrongly accused while both were in the same prison — served to free the Central Park five.
Why did they sign confessions if they weren't guilty? The film focuses, intently, on this question, before dealing with much more. There's a sobering moment late in the picture when the holdout juror who believed the boys innocent (but cast a "guilty" verdict anyway) tells us: "I just went along with it at the end because frankly I was wiped out." This is the very reason the boys themselves signed confessions years earlier: the NYPD, under pressure from above, grilled the five, who didn't really know what was happening to them, into exhausted submission. They fit the bill. Their confessions gave the police the win they needed for public-relations purposes. The boys were admittedly out "wilding," as the newly coined phrase had it, to begin with, stirring up trouble in the park. And expedience led to injustice.
"The Central Park Five" comes from, among others, Ken Burns, the man who made "The Civil War," "Jazz" and other broadly expansive works in the documentary genre. The project began with his co-director and daughter, Sarah Burns, and her book on the Central Park Five. (David McMahon is the co-producer, co-writer and co-director.) Their interview subjects range from ex-mayors to reporters to historians to family members (but not to the victim herself). The innocence of the five at the center failed to garner the same attention as their rush-to-judgment guilt. This film is a fine, strong corrective.
'The Central Park Five' -- 3 1/2 stars

What a gorgeous idea to hang this group of wicker trays above the bed here!

I totally understand your 'middle of the night' dilemma - I have it too. I'm on Infliximab but it has only worked for 6 months and the pain is on its way back. I frequently find myself sick of the sound of my complaining - I really feel for my hubby because he gets all of my complaining everyday. He also knows when I'm struggling but not complaining! Fingers crossed for the Rituximab xxxReplyDelete
I love the design of your blog and think the title "There's always Rheum for Improvement" is quite clever! :) I've been living with JRA for seven years (since I was 12) and since I turned 19, I've been blogging about my experiences too. I've never heard of Rituximab, but my 6 weekly infusions are called "Infliximab!" so they sound similar and I'm assuming yours is a biologic drug too? I'm currently not on a high dosage of prednisolone/steroids/coretzone since I have a lot of damage, degeneration and general thinning of the bones that's occured from my Arthritis (in my fingers but a lot happened in my hips - had two hip replacements within the last two years). God, that's worst...when pain keeps you up at night. Do you find you have your own pharmaceutical drugstore with the variety of painkillers you have? haha. :) Do painkillers (e.g. voltaren, panadeine, etc) help you at all? Sounds like quite a vicious cycle that's happening to you atm! I agree, I wish that my Arthritis wouldn't interfere with my life so much as well...although since getting my hips done, things are a lot more better than they use to be (i.e. before I was completely bed-ridden almost 24/7 and was in constant, unbearable agony!). I still have my flare-ups and niggling pain, but I guess I do okay for me. Your boyfriend must be very understanding with your Arthritis. For a long time I thought that I would never find anyone, because this condition hindered my life so much! I really hope that Rituximab works out for you and gives you some much needed relief real soon!
Lauretta :)
Yes, the ups and downs of RA, I too get up early and by 10-11am am so fatigued I'm cross eyed. My meds seem to have pain & swelling better (Enbrel & MTX), but the fatigue is causing issues @ work & eating my spirit. Then shame on me later when I plan to do something, heh. Anyway you are in my RA bookmarks, and will check in occasionally. Thanks for helping to spread the awareness of Rheumatoid Disease.ReplyDelete

South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela was brought into hospital with a lung infection, officials have confirmed.
The 94-year-old was rushed to a military hospital in Pretoria on Saturday, after tests showed that the human rights campaigner had suffered a recurrence of a previous lung infection.
Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj has said that Mr Mandela is responding to treatment.
The apartheid leader's current condition has inevitably caused concern amongst South Africans. The Nobel Peace Prize winner has previously been treated for severe chest infections.

Tai chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion." There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice... has value in treating or preventing many health problems.
Tai chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own senses, your own mind and body together as one process.

Sweet, you did a great job (again).
Vampire Slayer 2.0 - this is a sequel of a popular mod for Max Payne 2. We decided to rethink al the old ideas and now we present absolutely new mod. Now Vampire Slayer is not just "antivampire mod". We decided to combine ideas of many movies\books\comics, that was about vampires and overall dark forces. Underworld, Constantine, Van Hellsing etc. Absolutely all player's weapons are new. All guns are high quality detailed and animated + there are absolutely new types of weapons. We mean new for all MP2 mods. First of all this is magic. Ignite, blow up, kill your enemies. Magic is a separate weapon with completely different magic for different tactical situations: fireball is needed for removing enemies from long distances, cross magic is good at destroing close foes. All enemy's skins will be changed(stay tuned) according to main theme of the mod - yes, the ones who will be vaporized by you is the vampires...
Sweet, you did a great job (again).
please..... release it... i cant wait anymore... i need it....
Omg ))) Dude, get a patience, please.
you guys are making something i believe will be top notch when you finally release it. I greatly wish to play this friggin awesome looking mod. are you guys close to releasing?

NSA Admits: Okay, Okay, There Have Been A Bunch Of Intentional Abuses, Including Spying On Love Interests
from the and-we're-just-now-telling-congress dept
The practice isn't frequent — one official estimated a handful of cases in the last decade — but it's common enough to garner its own spycraft label: LOVEINT.A handful is still significantly more than once. And it's a lot more than the "zero" times we'd been told about repeatedly by defenders of the program.
While the NSA says it takes these abuses seriously, there's no indication that the analyst was fired.
Much more troubling is that it appears that the NSA only told its oversight committee in the Senate about all of this a few days ago:
The Senate Intelligence Committee was briefed this week on the willful violations by the NSA's inspector general's office, as first reported by Bloomberg.Of course, this is the same Dianne Feinstein who, exactly a week ago, said the following:
"The committee has learned that in isolated cases over the past decade, a very small number of NSA personnel have violated NSA procedures — in roughly one case per year," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, said in a statement Friday.
As I have said previously, the committee has never identified an instance in which the NSA has intentionally abused its authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes.Yeah. Because apparently the NSA chose not to tell the committee until a few days later, despite it happening for years.
And, of course, they release this all on a Friday night, hoping that it'll avoid the news cycle...
In the meantime, the NSA just made Senator Feinstein look like a complete fool. She's been its strongest defender in Congress for years, and has stood up for it time and time again, despite all of this questionable activity. Then, last week, it lets her tell lies about it without telling her beforehand that there had been such abuses. At this point, it's abundantly clear that Feinstein's "oversight" of the NSA is a joke. She's either incompetent or lying. Either way, it appears that the NSA is running circles around her, and isn't subject to any real Congressional oversight. At some point, you'd think that maybe she'd stop defending it and actually start doing her job when it comes to oversight. You'd think the fact that it let her make a complete fool of herself by claiming there had been no intentional abuses should make Feinstein realize that the NSA situation is out of control. But, tragically, this seems unlikely. Even her statement seems to want to minimize the seriousness of the fact that she -- the person in charge of oversight -- was completely kept in the dark about very serious intentional abuses. Senator Feinstein just got hung out to dry by the NSA. You'd think she'd stop going to bat for it and its lies.
Either way, we've now gone from General Keith Alexander and Feinstein claiming "no abuses," to them saying no "intentional" abuses, to this latest admission of plenty of intentional abuses, including spying on lovers. Perhaps, instead of lying, it's time for the NSA to come clean and to get some real oversight.

Wednesday Reads: Damn you Firefox!Posted: November 21, 2012 Filed under: just because | Tags: Bugarach, Church of England, CME, doomsday, Solar Flares, Sun 29 Comments
Good Morning, my Firefox automatically updated last night and it was a mess. Error messages with every load of a webpage and I could not get the thing to stop updating itself when I would uninstall and try to reinstall the earlier version. So….consequently this post will be brief, and small. I will post something more substantial later on this afternoon.
NWLuna mentioned this first item last night in the comment section. Church of England votes against allowing women bishops
The Church of England has been plunged into its gravest crisis in decades after legislation that would have allowed female clergy to become bishops, and swept away centuries of entrenched sexism, was rejected by just six votes.
In dramatic scenes at Church House in Westminster, a long-awaited measure that was the result of 12 tortuous years of debate and more than three decades of campaigning was defeated by lay members, prompting one bishop to warn that the established church risked becoming "a national embarrassment".
The legislation had needed a two-thirds majority in each of the three houses of the General Synod to pass, but, despite comfortably managing that in both the houses of bishops and clergy, it was dealt a fatal blow in the laity, where lay members voted 132 votes in favour and 74 against. If just six members of the laity had voted for instead of against, the measure would have been passed.
Six votes? That is all? WTF?
Well, the sun had a big eruption the other day, Sun produced coronal mass ejection, or CME.
NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) captured the image of today's CME at 8:54 a.m. EST (13:54 UTC), about two hours after it left the sun.
NASA says the CME left the sun at speeds of 450 miles per second, which, it says, is a slow-to-average speed for this type of solar phenomenon. When a CME erupts from the sun, a geomagnetic storm occurs, producing beautiful auroras, or northern lights, for those at northerly latitudes.
NASA says that, in the past, CMEs with the slow-to-average speed of the November 20 event haven't typically caused substantial geomagnetic storms. NASA explained:
They have caused auroras near the poles but are unlikely to cause disruptions to electrical systems on Earth or interfere with GPS or satellite-based communications systems.
Bottom line: The sun produced a coronal mass ejection, or CME, today (November 20, 2012). See a photo of the CME leaving the sun in this post.
Perhaps it is the beginning of the end? There is one place that will be safe when the shit hits the fan!
Bugarach: the French village destined to survive the Mayan apocalypse
Bugarach … AKA 'the doomsday destination'. Photograph: Reuters
Up in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in a tiny village nestled amid breathtaking landscapes and eagles in flight, a man in a woolly hat pushes a wheelbarrow up a narrow street whistling to himself as the smell of woodsmoke drifts out of chimneys. The only sight slightly out of place are 20 zombies, staggering wild-eyed and bleeding, down the mountain path. But, unlike most of the bizarre things said about this place, the zombies at least make sense. "We're making a pastiche film about the apocalypse for our university leaving do," says Joel, 23, a pharmacy student from Montpellier dressed in a torn grey suit with two black eyes and a dribble of blood from his mouth. His student friend, a dwarf in a cow suit, adds: "Bugarach was the perfect setting. Everyone knows this village as the world centre of armageddon, we couldn't resist."
Bugarach, with its two narrow streets, 176 residents, little agriculture, scores of wild orchids and virtually no pollution, was barely heard of a few years ago. Now, it's arguably the most famous village in France, known variously as "the village at the end of the world", the "chosen village", or as CNN put it, "the doomsday destination".
According to a prophecy/internet rumour, which no one has ever quite got to the bottom of, an ancient Mayan calendar has predicted the end of the world will happen on the night of 21 December 2012, and only one place on earth will be saved: the sleepy village of Bugarach. The mayor, Jean-Pierre Delord, a farmer in his 60s, first spotted the apocalyptic forecast online two years ago after being alerted by a villager. He mentioned it at a council meeting, suggesting special security measures, perhaps army logistics, to handle an influx of visitors in December 2012. Someone at the meeting told the local press and before long world news agencies and Japanese TV crews were pacing the cobbles asking baffled villagers their views on armageddon.
A dwarf in a cow suit? Hmmm, sounds like a perfect place for me.
And what seems ironic, this next article is about the last typewriter being made in the UK…considering the problems I am having with Firefox, I think a old manual typewriter may be just the ticket. UK's 'last typewriter' produced
A typewriter, which its makers say is the last to be built in the UK, has been produced at a north Wales factory.
Manufacturer Brother, which says it has made 5.9 million typewriters since its factory in Wrexham opened in 1985, has donated the last machine to London's Science Museum.
The museum said the piece represented the end of a technology which had been "important to so many lives".
Edward Bryan, a worker at the factory since 1989, made the last typewriter.
"If people ever ask me, I can always say now, as a strange question, that I've made the last typewriter in the UK," he told BBC Breakfast's Colin Paterson.
He said he had previously "tried and succeeded to make one with my eyes closed".
I typed up my final history paper on an electric typewriter, all 160 pages of it! I no longer have that typewriter but it was nice to not worry about losing documents because of a computer problem. Seriously, if anyone has suggestions or knows of an old manual portable typewriter for sale, in working condition, please….let me know!
It is almost 4 am here in Banjoland, that is all I can muster up this morning. See y'all later today, I promise a big post this afternoon.

Is it just me or does it look like we have a chance against this team of not getting killed on the boards? Dropped my League Pass hoping they would call and beg me back for reduced rate (they didn't) and just picked it back up, so haven't gotten to watch any preseason. So freaking pumped to see the new lineup. WE'RE GONNA WIN OREGON, AND WASHINGTON , AND CALIFORNIA, AND... YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
LOL yeah, I was like..who's Krome? But then I saw the game post and was like "oh, THAT Krome!"

OK, Favorite Jim Carrey movie and WHY!
Just thought this topic could start some good conversations/debates! As for my two cents, it's a toss-up between The Majestic and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

The Majestic just had such an incredibly awesome feel to it. I felt myself become completely enveloped in the world of Pete's struggle and enjoyed every moment of it. So much so that I had to see it more than once (3 times in the theaters, countless coming at home). I thought the acting was beautiful on the parts of practically everyone involved in the film, especially Jim. I thought he'd already done a bang-up job in the drama dept. in Man on the Moon, but he totally out-did himself in The Majestic. He (along with Landau) actually made me cry, which, you can take it from me, is a very large accomplishment. I thought it also had a beautiful story that made you care about every single character from that town. I read many critics reviews, most of which as usual poo-pooed practically everything I loved about the movie (I don't know why I bother to read those things!) and that only made me like it more (it's always fun to read what the jealous people who wanted to get into movies but had to settle with judging them have to say).

Then there's Ace, which is the movie that introduced me to the wonder of Jim Carrey. The character is great, the facial expressions, the lines, the attitude. I spent a good three years pretending to be that character! The story is hilariously stupid (which is just my kind of movie) and to this day I can watch it over and over again and still laugh away. The replay value on that film is astounding. I also loved Tone Loc and Dan Marino in that movie, they made me laugh... almost as much as Jim.

Basically, Ace was my favorite movie (overall, not just of Carrey's) from the very first time I watched it. The fact that The Majestic is even battling with it as my favorite says a lot about his most recent project. Either way, I could happily call it a tie and sit back and enjoy watching both movies over and over again all day long, forever!

Re: OK, Favorite Jim Carrey movie and WHY!
I haven't seen The Majestic yet. I do know the story but I did not see it with my own eyes. I hope that I will see it SOON!
Ace Ventura is an incredible movie. It is very hilarious and I like it a lot. I don't have a favorite JC movie because I like them all. All of his movies are special. All of them have something... Something interesting, funny and magical.
All of them captivated me in one way or another.

PS: Who knows when it will be The Majestic in Romania (EU)??????????????????????????

C'mon people!
I know, we all love all of Jim's movies. I do too! I'm asking you to step out of that broad box and think about which one tickles your funny bone the most or which is most moving to you (depending on if it's a comedy or drama). I know it's hard to pick just one (heck, I couldn't even do it!) but give it a whirl, huh?

Re: C'mon people!
Hmmmmm
Hard decision
I like Cable Guy and Dumb and Dumber a lot. But I also like Truman Show and Man on The Moon. Oh @#%$.... I like them all.
I can't decide!!!!!!

hi, my opinion...
My favourite movie is "The Truman Show" because it is a fantastic movie, is the best, the storyline is very original, and the film it s great.
Jim Carrey its great in this movie, in my opinion is the best Jim Carreys film.
As well, I like a lot "Ace Ventura 2" and "Dumb and dumber", because with that two movies I am laughing since they start until they finish.
Every thing that it happen in that two movies are really funny

All of them are good.
What about Bruce Almighty??? Is it going to be good?? I belive so. For me it doesn't matter the movie. The important thing is for Jim Carrey to act in it!!

Re: Opinions
let's see.... I love the Ace Ventura Ones...The mask too! I love 'em cuz...well....Jim's in it! and...uhm... I just love his goofy faces in the movies...

Quote:

Totally agree!

fav movie
I'm the next one who totally agrees that you just CAN'T decide!! Jim makes every film special just by being in it, showing his brilliant talent and spreading his one and only charisma.
But he did so different kind of movies that I can say it depends on my mood which of his films I prefer to watch then.

?           ?

ARLINGTON, TX (WAFB) - LSU is nearing the end of its preparations for Saturday's season opener at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, against TCU.
The Horned Frogs may be coming off a six-loss season, but in 2009 and 2010, they played in BCS bowl games. In 2011, the team didn't reach a BCS bowl, but still finished 11-2.
"It's just as physical as Alabama or any other team we play," said senior running back Alfred Blue. "We've just got to gather. We can't take them lightly and just have to get after them fast."
"When you look at the 2011 year, that was our greatest season in this new history to me," added junior defensive tackle Anthony "Freak" Johnson. "We went 13-1 and we started off with a tough schedule."
TCU returns nine starters from a defense that ranked first overall in the Big 12 and intercepted 21 passes as a team. Cornerback Jason Verrett is a dangerous defender and had six of those picks.
"They've got great players," said junior wide receiver Jarvis Landry. "They're going to make great plays. But, our ability to just control the ball; I think that's going to be the biggest thing."
"The teams that had some success against us stacking the box and then just has to throw it over the top, so I definitely assume that's going to happen again and we're going to have our one-on-one opportunities outside," senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger explained.
Kickoff for the 2013 Cowboys Classic is scheduled for 8 p.m. and will air on ESPN.

scrofulous warthog
Oooh, scrofulous (referring to a skin disease). That's a Salt Creek Class word. Coming from a Dutchman, no less. That's worth a touchdown and a two point conversion. With 12:30 left in the third quarter, it's Sander 25 - Josh 13.
I'm watching Sander v. Josh.
Highly entertaining. I'm going to have to predict a Sander victory. He's too offensi… er, has too many offensive weapons.
He's the Cardinals.
Josh, you're going to have to look for that deep post.
Football punnery. I hereby apologize.
.....your are spraying…..
Bruce, I believe my detection of this grammatical error on the part of Mr. Perfect is worth at least a safety. The score is now 25-15, eh?
Mister "too-good-for-TV-and-football":
...you deranged dillhole. Denuded dilettante. Dweebish dung beetle. Debilitated dork. Drooling exemplar of dotage, Djinn of din, didactic dipshit.
Actually, I'm a dapper, determined, dedicated, driven, devoted dealer of devastating domination in dirty dramatic debate, over dimwitted dickheaded dumbasses on drugs such as yourself.
So, uh, is it too late for me to submit my Super Bowl pick, and predict a Steeler victory of 27-23?
So, uh, is it too late for me to submit my Super Bowl pick, and predict a Steeler victory of 27-23?
The Cards should have won it. That interception right before half killed 'em.

Woman in Florida Has 576,000 Miles on Her Car! – How Many Miles Are on Your Car or Truck? [POLL]
How many miles do you have on your vehicle? How 'bout 576,000 miles? That's how many miles 93 year old Rachel Veitch has on her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente, and she's the original owner!
She's taken good care of her vehicle over the years and told Fox News "I've never been a destructive person and I've just taken care of everything, except my husbands." Ha! And she has a great sense of humor too! She's recently given up driving because of her failing eyesight.
If you think that's a lot of miles on a car, it's not a world record. That Guinness World Record title went to Irv Gordon and his 1966 P1800 Volvo back in 2010 with almost 2.9 million miles! He plans on hitting the 3 million mile mark next year.

The leader of Tunisia's main Islamist Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, said on Tuesday he expected Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali to form a coalition government this week that would include politicians as well as technocrats.
"I expect that agreement will be reached and I expect Jebali will remain the prime minister of a coalition government," he told Reuters in an interview.
Following last week's assassination of an opposition politician, Jebali proposed forming a cabinet of apolitical technocrats to take Tunisia to elections, but did not consult his own Ennahda party or its secular coalition partners.
Ghannouchi said Ennahda opposed Jebali's idea and would make a counter-proposal. "There is a project for a political government that will be presented to the prime minister to form a team of politicians and technocrats," he said.
"We don't have much time before we announce this government. The time limit is this week," he said.
Ghannouchi said it was essential that Islamists and secular parties shared power now and in the future. "Any stable rule in Tunisia needs a moderate Islamist-secular coalition," he said.
The Islamist leader indicated that Ennahda was prepared to compromise over the control of portfolios such as defence, foreign affairs, justice and interior.
"We are ready to discuss all ministries, including sovereign ones, in a new coalition government," he said.

My 3-year-old daughter Nora is completely obsessed with Olivia the Pig, so I knew that had to be the theme for her third birthday party!
With the help of my very craft sister (thanks Kris!), some finds on Etsy (thanks Sweet Bambinos!), and a little bit of DIY on my own (I may never bake another cupcake again!), we were able to create quite the Olivia-rific little celebration in our neighborhood park, Liberty Lands.

I've got
set to
Enabled after first letter match
List Items
for MySQL to try to keep them out of the way:
and I experience a strange behavior affecting popups. The schema section isn't even shown in popups for SELECT until the first letter is typed. In WHERE popups it's there but is empty and it gets populated after the first letter but it is autosized to 0(?) width. Check this short video

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm going to submit a bug report for this one.
PS. I learned from your message that we support item showing after first letter for schema objects and perhaps other object types too. I heard about special handling for a gazillion of Oracle public synonyms, but didn't know it's available to other item types.

Yes, this one can be pretty useful when having items in the hundreds or thousands, alas, triggering it immediately on the first typed will include most of the stuff when using
Name Contains Characters from Key String, Order by Best Match
. Nevertheless, it's a nice touch.

Is there a setting allowing to change after how many typed letters are items hidden by
Enabled after first letter match
going to be shown? I've just had to do some tasks in Oracle and having
Name Matching Method
set to
Name Contains Characters from Key String, Order by Best Match
that gazillion of Oracle public synonyms simply makes SA unusable.
After the first letter following a SELECT statement, it took ~2 minutes for the popup to update its contents and an additional 20 seconds for the second letter. Only the third one was ~1s. If
Public Synonyms
are not disabled only
Name Starts with Key String
is working at an acceptable speed. But that's not something I could go back to, I'm irreversibly stuck with
Name Contains Characters from Key String, Order by Best Match
. Disabling
Public Synonyms
List Items...
is not a very good solution either.

A better option might be to set it to ignore synonyms. What do you think?

, it's what I'm doing right now. But if I understand correctly, that would result in losing assistance to the public synonyms, and as such, to all the available system views provided through them. I have a hunch that's not something to be discarded without a second thought. Though I must admit, I'm pretty new to Oracle and might not perceive the impact of it correctly.

There are two separate items for Public Synonyms and Synonyms. Maybe you can turn off just public synonyms. On the other hand if you need to refer to a system view like ALL_TABLES you can refer directly to it as SYS.ALL_TABLES not using public synonym.

I guess that could be a viable option. The initial load of items after hitting period after SYS took ~2 minutes as well. Though I don't think that could be avoided.

It shouldn't take that long. It may take 10-15 seconds top. If it takes longer, it might be a sign that database stats haven't been collected recently and stale, and as a result, the server picks inefficient execution plan for the " Objects(Oracle) + Typed Synonyms" query. Or there might be a lot of stuff in the recycle bin that need purging.
Please check when stats were collected last time, you can see that in DBA_TAB_STATS_HIST
The referenced query can be tuned using hints if collecting fresh stats doesn't help.

This is a brand new, freshly installed instance, most of the things never done on it with stats probably not even collected yet. The Public Synonym stuff with the popup was worrying though, as it consistently took 2 mins to load, regardless of which objects or schemas were filtered. I'll check tomorrow if SYS.ALL_TABLES still performs badly, but I wouldn't bother about that otherwise.

|Goldfinch in summer color.
I usually start my day with a soak in the hot tub, just as the sun is coming up. In March, around the first days of Spring, I watch these little birds in the nearby red oak tree, eating the flowers and pollen of the red oak. Sometimes there are dozens, even hundreds, busy eating the oak blossoms.
|The red oak flowers are golden yellow and last for only about a week.
I have a theory. The red oak blossoms are bright yellow and the goldfinches, still in their ugly gray winter color, are all over this tree every day while it's in bloom; they need the yellow pollen. Every day they eat the yellow flowers and you can watch the changes in their feathers, going from gray to mild yellow, then brighter, until the goldfinch is in full peacock mode, just as the oak blossoms have finished blooming.
|Not much yellow yet.
|Almost no color today.
|Water stands in the pathways. We received 5 inches over 3 days.
|In the background the sunlight on the hills looks like yellow blossoms.
|That far, far hill in the background is across the lake from us.
|Part of the garden in the foreground. The distant hills were alive with color and sunlight.
To see a few more of the first day of spring photos, go here. Happy spring everyone!

Lost pets, broken bones, new vehicles, and a 2600 round-trip road trip.
I've experienced my share of moves. From birth until I said, "I do", I moved 16 times. Each of those was done on my own or by my family/ friends. I am accustomed to making new friends, finding new neighborhood highlights and establishing desirable spots for my collectibles in my space. More than anything else is this PCS (Army vernacular: for a move "Permanent Change of Station"), I looked forward to having movers come in and do the hard part.
Our driver and the moving crew he assembled were great. I wish he could be our next door neighbor. They made what is normally the most stressful part of a move go quickly and easily. Little did I know how much our family would need that because of the lack of ease that would follow.
Over our anniversary weekend, we purchased a new van. It is beautiful and magic, and almost makes me forget that I'm driving a minivan rather than a vehicle I think more suited to me as an individual (like my RAV4 we traded in, or say.... a classic convertible British sports car). In the stress of beating the snow and a night drive, I nearly ran out of gas along I-70 with three kids in the car. In case you ever make the drive, be forewarned there are no gas options once you get about 10 miles West of Topeka. Those moments of panic, would set the mood for much of the next couple weeks.
Our PCS was not a great distance. We've moved from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley. We're only 100 miles down the road. However, the first real snow of the season decided to hit us on the very day of our move, leaving me with the three youngest children at our new town preparing to sign a lease and unload the moving truck, and my soldier trapped in Fort Leavenworth, unable to clear because of adverse weather office closings and our high-schooler who had to finish finals.

California Secretary of State
At issue is a request by MapLight California, California Common Cause and 10 others, including this newspaper, for a downloadable version of the campaign finance data that the secretary of state collects. The raw data are available today on CD-ROM for a small fee, and a slightly redacted version can be viewed for free on the department's website. The discs aren't available in a timely fashion outside of Sacramento, however, and the site's formatting is cumbersome and limiting.
The tussle is important because the data represent voters' main line of defense against the corrosive influence of special interests.
The high cost of running for state office in California gives well-heeled individuals and groups -- for example, organized labor, business groups and ideological nonprofits with wealthy (and anonymous) benefactors -- a disproportionately loud voice in campaigns. Lawmakers who try to lower the volume of special-interest money and ads risk running afoul of Supreme Court rulings that make it hard to limit election-related spending.
Instead, candidates and watchdog organizations such as MapLight try to curtail the power of special interests by exposing how much they're pouring into campaigns. California voters tend to sour on candidates and ballot measures when told that their funding comes largely from a single industry, union or ideological faction. For proof, look at what happened to the seemingly consumer-friendly auto insurance measures in 2010 and 2012 that were backed largely by Mercury Insurance and its chairman, George Joseph.
Sadly, loopholes in state disclosure requirements enable some interests to keep their roles hidden behind nonprofit front groups. And those whose identities aren't hidden can still count on the secretary of state's Cal-Access website to make their contributions and expenditures harder to find than they should be.
State law requires candidates, political action committees and those making independent campaign expenditures to file numerous financial reports to the secretary of state's elections division, including daily disclosures of big contributions and independent expenditures as an election nears. The reports come in electronically and are posted on Cal-Access right away.
The problem is that the site doesn't let users sort or display the data coherently. For example, you can't type "California Chamber of Commerce" or "California Teachers Association" into the site's search box and display all the contributions or expenditures that group has reported. Instead, the site provides a list of links to a number of campaign committees whose reports you'd have to browse through to find what you're looking for.
In short, the way the information is presented makes it hard to discern just how much the most active special interests are raising and spending to influence the outcome of California elections. That's not the only shortcoming, however. Because the data can't be downloaded, they can't be correlated against other relevant information -- for example, lobbying records and votes cast in the Legislature.
As much as they'd like to see the Cal-Access site overhauled, MapLight and its allies asked simply that Bowen's office upload a copy of the data each day to a site where the information would be available for downloading. "This change would vastly improve the public accessibility of valuable civic information, reaffirming California's role as a leader in open government, and showing your commitment to shining a light on money in politics," the groups wrote last month. "Moreover, it would save precious state funds, as your office would no longer have to support the staff necessary to process public records requests for copies of the database. Lastly, making this information available online on a daily basis would ensure voters, private organizations, and members of the media would have the state's most recent data to use for independent analysis as well as spur online development and innovation."
In her response last week, Bowen noted that the raw data collected by her office include information about a donor's street address and bank account that state law doesn't allow to be posted online. That's not an issue for the CD-ROMs, but it would be for a downloadable compilation of the day's filings, Bowen said.
"While the 14-year-old Cal-Access system can do many things," Bowen wrote, "it does not contain a design component that redacts, blocks or filters this information from the data you would like to see posted on the Internet. It is not clear to me that creating such a 'filter' is cost-effective when designing, developing and deploying it would divert limited information technology resources from other high-priority responsibilities."
Those high priorities, spokeswoman Shannan Velayas said, are a statewide voter registration database and a paperless system for business filings.
Daniel G. Newman, president and co-founder of MapLight, contended that it would take just a "simple computer program" to remove the address and banking information from the campaign finance data. The office is already generating the data in a format that's easy to edit with a spreadsheet application such as Excel, so it's not clear why Bowen sees such a huge technical hurdle to be overcome.
To her credit, Bowen has invited MapLight to meet with staffers this week to discuss the issue. Here's hoping that MapLight can show the elections division a simple way to redact data so that the information can be made available for downloading, and that Bowen will implement it.

Faith Hill Recalls Nerve-Wracking Birth Gift That Tim McGraw Gave Her
Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and whether that makes you want to skip with joy or skip straight to the next week, who doesn't appreciate a little mushy love stuff now and then? This week, idolized country couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill offered up a list of some of their favorite things to Allure's Daily Beauty Reporter. Speaking of her own picks, Hill mentioned a gift McGraw gave her after the birth of their first daughter — even though it had her pretty nervous for a while.
"After I had my first daughter, he gave me a ring with four diamonds and one emerald to symbolize her," she remembered. "It scared me because all I could think about was that he wanted to have five kids!" Lucky for Hill, the couple only ended up having three beautiful daughters and not a whole basketball team.
Among her other favorites, Hill said she loves the way her husband smells right after a shower, when he wears pajama pants or comfy pants and when he cooks chicken and dumplings. As for her favorite article of clothing, the 'Come Home' singer says, "I feel the sexiest and strongest in slacks or feminine dresses. Nothing too fussy."
Dishing on the things he loves, McGraw said his favorite scent on his wife is the way she smells when she gets in bed at night. He also said his favorite hairstyle on his wife is "natural and curly and when she puts it up," and his favorite article of clothing on her is "nothing." He loves when she cooks him Coco-Cola cake and vegetables, butter beans and cornbread and says of his favorite gift she has ever given him: "Seven or eight years ago she gave me a Red CJ5 jeep — it has serious history."
The two launched a set of fragrances this month — Soul2Soul Faith Hill and Soul2Soul Tim McGraw. While both have a hint of a floral scent, Hill's is more feminine with added fruit and flowers, and McGraw's is tailored to men with its bergamot and blackberry brandy accord.

Okay, the commentary about my aching back and painful shoulder was not intended to elicit pity. Well, maybe a little.
But thank you all very much for your messages of concern — even the one who suggested that my MRI phobia makes me seem like a wuss. I could have done without that and the suggestion that it must be gender-related, but I just considered the source, and the spirit in which it was delivered, and taken. I got a chuckle out of it.
I also got some helpful suggestions on how to deal with back and shoulder pain. Most involve stretches and exercises. I've tried the pulley hooked to the door for my shoulder and it helps. I've also added a new stretch or two for improving back and neck mobility.
I actually balance on a three-foot Styrofoam log and stretch my back. The hard part is learning to balance on the thing without doing serious damage. After the initial teetering and tottering is over, it actually feels pretty good.
It's getting to the point where I could devote half the day to stretching, exercising, and then alternating heat and cold packs to stop the post-exercise anguish. It's also sometimes difficult in hotel rooms to find the space (or clean carpets) to stretch out on. And I don't leave the house without a pocketful of pain relievers. I dread the thought of what it's going to be like when I get really old, say 58.
Apparently, however, quite a few of you have similar problems. And, based on e-mails I've received, I should count my blessings, stop complaining and get on with doing stuff I want and need to do.
One reader described a process whereby a technician sends electrical charges through your nerves to see which one may be impaired. Can't imagine that would be much fun. That reader wound up having surgery. As I said, I consider myself fortunate.
Another said he has put up with arthritis for years and is limited in some activities.
I recently talked with two High Plains farmers, and before we got serious about doing an interview on planting plans for the 2007 crop, we discussed our various aches and pains. They're probably a few years younger than I am, but were already feeling some joint discomfort, hands mostly.
They said pulling on a wrench to tighten a nut is harder than it used to be and that knuckle joints ache in the process. One said he wears gloves, even in the summer, to improve his grip.
I suspect a lot of farmers feel the years of hard work, long hours, heavy loads, and bad roads every morning when they roll out of bed and every evening when the get in from the fields. The labor they've done for decades has to take a toll.
So, I'll be happy to swap remedies with you, especially if you have some that makes it easier to back a boat trailer, a chore I was never that good at, even before my neck got stiff.
In the meantime, y'all win. Electrically stimulated nerves, years of arthritis, and surgery scars trump my minor aches by a mile. So, no more complaining from me — unless I have to have surgery, and then let the whining begin.

*** (out of four)
How long has it been since 1999's likable, mild "The Best Man"? That movie featured Lauryn Hill music when it was still semi-new.
Despite its odd timing and title—you can't just add seasonal words to a franchise; please let us never see "The Hunger Games Thanksgiving"—"The Best Man Holiday" does right by its characters and handles its emotional challenges properly. That may sound like a cinematic given, but it happens less often than it should.
What may happen often among viewers is the mingling of fond memories and not-quite-healed wounds when old friends get together. Just before Christmas, the whole gang from "The Best Man," most of whom are married with kids, converge on the mansion of Mia (Monica Calhoun) and Lance (Morris Chestnut), the New York Giants star runningback who's 176 yards from breaking the all-time rushing record. (Sorry, Emmitt Smith.) Though it's been a long time since Harper (Taye Diggs) proposed to Robyn (Sanaa Lathan) at the Mia/Lance wedding after clearing up the whole Harper-and-Mia-slept-together-back-in-the-day thing, the tension between the former best friends remains. That's bad for Harper, who needs a new hit book and thinks a biography of Lance is the ticket. "Exploit your friend for capital gain," Harper's agent (John Michael Higgins) says. "This is America!"
Indeed it is, and it's a country where strong, modern onscreen portrayals of African-Americans occur at a shamefully low frequency. (Don't even start me on Tyler Perry.) "The Best Man Holiday" writer-director Malcolm D. Lee is responsible for some of the garbage, like "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins" and "Soul Men." Here, though, Lee's on solid footing, even more so than in "The Best Man." The better-paced sequel again capitalizes on a unified cast, and this time the fun jumps off the screen. Unfortunately Lee relies on sitcom-level incidents of technology foibles. His tear-jerking tendencies also go a little far in drawing tension out of a suspected illness and a kid responding to fighting adults by saying, "This doesn't feel like Christmas to me."
Still, Terrence Howard is hilarious as monogamy opponent Quentin, and Harold Perrineau and Regina Hall effectively ground the Julian/Candace relationship that started when she danced at Lance's bachelor party. Again highlighting the folly of deception among loved ones and valuing church, forgiveness and commitment with somewhat uneven performances, "The Best Man Holiday" genuinely looks at friendship and various concerns of growing older. See you in 14 years, fellas.
Or, based on the way this installment ends, possibly sooner.
