This edition of the DVD has enough extras to make it the only version of Naked Lunch you'll ever have to buy. (They won't release a bigger, better edition later.) The BBC documentary is okay. It's about 45 minutes long, giving Cronenberg and William Burroughs a lot of time to speak. (Burroughs is particularly good, with a dry sense of humor and a habit of saying obvious truths that make people uneasy.) The second disc also has stills from the special effects team, showing how the various creatures and organic typewriters were developed.
But it's the first disc --- the movie itself --- that makes it worth buying and watching. The special audio track, shared by Peter Weller and Cronenberg, adds a lot of useful background information. The film itself is bright and sharp, a perfect example of DVD clarity. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in the best films of the 1990s. Naked Lunch didn't make as big an impact in theaters as it did in book stores, but it should have.
This film is about an exterminator named Bill Lee - who is played here by Peter Weller of RoboCop fame. Bill is an ex-junkie, and is thrown back into drug addiction once he finds out that his wife is addicted to the bug powder that he uses on the job. He tries it once, and becomes hooked. He starts hallucinating. Giant bugs start spouting conspiracy theories to him. A giant alien-like creature, a "mugwump", has a conversation with him at a bar. Sounds weird, huh? It only gets weirder from there on out. And I mean WEIRD. One night, he and his wife decide to play a random game of William Tell that goes horribly wrong, in that he accidentally shoots his wife in the head, and she dies. He flees the scene, and heads off to the "Interzone," an exotic city that may or may not exist inside of his head. He starts to write a novel, a novel that will eventually become the book Naked Lunch. While he is in the "Interzone," his hallucinations get worse. They become so surreal and weird, that it is hard to differentiate between what is real and what is not. I don't have time to explain it all - some of the hallucinations were so strange, that I can't print them for fear of offending someone - however, one thing is certain: this is definitely a film that requires a second viewing.
The character William Lee is loosely based on author William S. Burroughs. Burroughs really did shoot his wife during a game of William Tell, and this novel was written shortly after that incident.Read more ›
Peter Weller is impeccably cast as Bill Lee who is sort of a reworking of Burroughs himself. He plays a writer employed as an exterminator who finds out that his wife is addicted to his bug powder. Under the prying eyes of the drug enforcement agency Bill escapes his life to work for a beetle-typewriter (you have to see that thing!) as an undercover homosexual agent who travels to a place called the "Interzone" to write up daily reports there.
The film is provocative and thoroughly insane in every department. The monsters all look genuinely disturbing but even more so when the characters interact with them in the most indescribable of ways. There is a doctor called Benway (Roy Scheider) who appears to be helping Bill to get through his problems of drug addiction and yet turns up later in the film in the most startling of scenes. For a man who once played the lead in "Jaws" it will certainly blow a few minds to see him unzip his breasts. Judy Davis plays Joan Frost and Joan Lee who appear in both the real world and the fantasy world as wife and curiosity of Bill Lee. Davis is on flying 1950s form as usual.Read more ›

Ugh. I don't know how someone like that can even claim to be a Christian.
I like the new title of this post Dan. Is this something that will stick? Can you title it, Billy O hating Christians?? I am not happy with him a the moment or EVER! : )
Out of all the things you have posted under They will Know we are Christians this was by far the most interesting. I need to read more about it.
true, but "Argentina's past stands in stark contrast to the role the church played during the dictatorships in Chile and Brazil, where priests and bishops publicly condemned the governments and worked to save those being persecuted from torture and death."
Come on, what about Romero?
Uh, duh. Catholicism is almost by definition a rightist movement, since in the last century, their main foe was Godless Communism. It's nice to be opposed to Communism and all, but not so nice to ally with fascism, and @3 it's true that the local churches fought hard against the juntas, but they were not backed by the Vatican and were in fact reprimanded and told to back off.
Cognitive dissonance comes naturally when youre brainwashed into adopting a worldview that is irreconcilable with reality. Christianity is a primer for committing atrocity in the name of goodness. Because the conditioning fails in some underlings is no proof of a churchs benevolence. Who can blame the priest? As all Christians know, morality is the exclusive purview of authority. Hes just salivating when the boss rings a bell.
Many professions have their traitors - priests who persecute, doctors who torture, politicians who accept bribes. Let's admit, Dan, that this is less an indictment of religion than a sad statement about the human capacity for cruelty.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'NORTH FORK' category.
NOT ONE BUT TWO genuinely antique houses hit the market last week on Long Island's North Fork, where farmland, farm stands, vineyards and wineries abound, and the feeling is of an earlier time.
The front-porch charmer, above, said to date from 1920, is in Peconic — 1-1/2 hours due east of NYC, with luck. It's 2,000 square foot, 4BR, 2 bath, with an asking price of $450,000. The full listing, with more pics and details, is here.
The Greenport clapboard house, above, is older still — built in 1884 — with 3BR, 1 bath, and an ask of $399,000. Greenport is a great little bayfront town, comprised almost entirely of vintage housing stock, with an abundance of quirky shops and good restaurants. More photos and info right here.
South Fork splendor
I HAVEN'T ALLOWED MYSELF A PROPER TIRADE in a long while, but last Sunday's New York Times Real Estate section drives me to it. Did you see the top story, "The Fork Less Taken"? I read it six days late, yesterday afternoon, while lolling on the nothing-short-of-spectacular, nearly-deserted Gardiner's Bay beach a seashell's throw from the house I bought in March on Long Island's "more taken" fork. While extolling the virtues of the North Fork, the article manages to bash the South Fork in every paragraph, either in reporter Robin Finn's own words or the hackneyed quotes ("we're the un-Hamptons," "…the anti-Hamptons") she has chosen.
I love the North Fork myself for its farmland and vineyards, which are in short supply here on the more developed South Fork, where I've lived part-time for 4+ years and now own two properties. Hey, the photo of the farmhouse in my blog header, top, that I've been using for ages now is quintessential North Fork. And I admit to choking on the words "the Hamptons" when I first moved out here, aware of the pretentious privilege they implied.
But really. Let's not overstate the case, as this piece does. It starts out mildly enough, saying that the South Fork is "starting to flirt with being overbuilt, overhyped and overcrowded" — to which my immediate reaction was, "starting to flirt with"?! It's been overbuilt since the 1980s; the region is littered with bad houses from that era. But then the cliches and misinformation begin.
"…from the perspective of the average homeowner's portfolio, owning a home there is an inarguably lovely wish-list item." Has Robin Finn checked sales prices for the whole South Fork lately, or just the tonier precincts? Here in Springs, where real people live, there are listings galore under 400K, and certainly under 500K.
"..the star wattage of its denizens" "a celebrity magnet" "a mash-up of movers and shakers.."
I move in different circles. I did see Alec Baldwin once at the Amagansett Farmer's Market, wearing white socks under orthopedic sandals, and I know where Steven Spielberg lives (he probably comes once every two years), and I heard Paul McCartney has a place in Amagansett. But what about the rest of us? The piece makes it sound like every last person on the South Fork "bask(s) in conspicuous consumption." All the artists and teachers and landscapers and builders and plumbers who send their kids to local schools and shop at the IGA go unmentioned in the piece, which seems to regard "multi-million dollar ocean frontage" as the sum and substance of the South Fork.
The North Fork is a place where "the locals are concerned and sensitive that it not turn into the next Hamptons," says one recent home buyer. This follows the same woman's saying that "it makes you feel good that when you buy property, there's a 2 percent tax that goes to land preservation." That's the same Peconic Land Trust tax we pay on the South Fork, for the same purpose, but neither the home buyer nor the reporter seem to know that.
You can get a bay view on the North Fork for less money than here on the South Fork, which is a good thing, but the bay beaches themselves — at least the ones I've been to on the North Fork — don't compare. The Town beaches in Jamesport and Greenport are lousy; the ones around Laurel/Mattituck, on the Peconic Bay, are nicer, but not nearly as nice as Maidstone, Gerard Drive, and Louse Point here in Springs. The Sound is gorgeous but rocky and not swimmer-friendly. The ocean at Orient State Park is a long drive from anywhere but Orient. (Someone please enlighten me about good North Fork beaches — I'd like to know.)
Who are the new "low-profile" citizens of the bucolic North Fork? Those interviewed for the article include a couple from Tribeca, another from DUMBO, and a Wall Street retiree. Where they go, artisanal microgreens and Icelandic sheep are sure to follow — no, they're already there.
Of course, some of the commenters set things straight. GC of Brooklyn said it best, IMO:
I think this story came out of the archives… Back in the early 1980s, we used to rent several vacation houses for a few days each summer in the Jamesport/Laurel area so all of our cousins and extended family could get out of our sweaty Brooklyn neighborhood. At that time, I recall the area was simple, inexpensive, and as "unspoiled" as something could be on Long Island. Going out to that same spot a few years ago, I saw the exact opposite: what in 1982 were open fields and farms were now housing developments, what were gravel roads were now paved, and what were simple vacation bungalows and cottages were now outfitted as year-round homes. It was completely cluttered, expensive, and ultimately rather depressing. And, calling it the "un-Hamptons" speaks volumes to the Real Estate/NY Times need to place everything in a little box loaded up with definitions. If it's not thoroughly ruined (read: overpriced and exclusive) by now, it will be soon.
The whole thing is just so annoying Times-ish, but even more specious than usual, like comparing the Upper East Side to the Upper West Side and finding it wanting. OK. Tirade over. What do you think? North vs. South? Game on!
HERE'S A NEW YEAR'S GOODIE. Yep, with the turn of the calendar, it's time to start thinking about…summer houses! The listing says this sweet and unpretentious 3BR, 2 bath (bigger than it looks at from the outside) dates from 1847, and that seems about right. The symmetry, porch columns, pilasters on either side of the front door and six-over-six windows, all say Greek Revival to me. At the same time, the front porch and picket fence say farmhouse (they're not mutually exclusive). It's in the village of Greenport,on Long Island's North Fork, where nearly all the houses are of similar vintage (see more of Greenport's architectural charms here).
The price has just been reduced by 30K. The still-upwards-of-400K ask reflects the tip-top condition of the house, the optimism of the sellers, and the market being pretty strong.
Except for the dated kitchen, the house appears immaculate — renovated perhaps to a fault (recessed lights in old houses are a particular peeve of mine).
Check out the listing, with lots more photos, here.
Anyone local have insight to share about the Main Street location?
SO OFTEN ONE SEES listings that date houses inaccurately. Sometimes the listings claim the houses are much more recent than they are, sometimes older. In the case of this former tavern in Southold, N.Y.'s historic district, I wholeheartedly believe the listing date. Based on its boxy shape, steep-pitched roof (the better to shed snow), and most of all, interior photos, the circa 1800 date seems correct.
The map shows it located at an intersection, which would make sense for a former tavern. I don't know how busy an intersection; that would be key. It's on 1/2 acre with several outbuildings, including a 19th century barn. The floors are wide-plank, the windows 'correct,' and there seem to be original doors and other woodwork. The attic photo clinches it for me; it totally looks 200+ years old.
I say this looks very intriguing, and the asking price reasonable. What say you? Does anyone know the location? The realtor's listing is here.
I ONCE HAD A SNOBBY FRIEND who called the North Fork of Long Island "the wrong fork." By which she meant that the South Fork, where the Hamptons are located, was the only place to be.
Well, now I'm a resident of the South Fork and if I had even a trace of a superiority complex, it's all gone now. Yesterday I had the perfect North Fork afternoon. I envy its farmland, its vineyards, its nurseries. It's more beautiful and more full of surprises (below) than I realized.
I met a friend who lives on Shelter Island and we took the 10-minute car ferry over to Greenport. We drove through what seemed, by South Fork standards, vast tracts of farmland, to Long Island Perennial Farm in Riverhead. The nursery, down a lane behind an old farmhouse, made me wish I had some small children in tow. There are goats and ducks in a barnyard, and roosters, guinea hens, and peacocks strutting around.
The nursery is open weekends only, and just three months a year (April 20-July 15). It has an interesting and well-priced selection of perennials, including some deer-resistant ones that aren't easy to find. Naturally I filled a cart.
<-Photo: Debré DeMers
We stopped at a second nursery in Cutchogue, but our focus was shot; it was getting on for cocktail hour. We met up with another friend for a classic North Fork experience: a wine tasting in one of the 40+ vineyards on the North Fork. We chose Croteaux in Southold, which makes only rosé in several varieties, and sat sipping in a gravel-paved garden overlooking rows of grapes. Unlike some of the vineyards, whose parking lots can be filled with tour buses on a Saturday afternoon, Croteaux bans them in a bid to stay low-key. OK with me.
Photo: Debré DeMers
The vineyards all seem to close at 5 or 6PM, so we couldn't linger as long as we would have liked. Nevertheless, an afternoon to remember, and to do again ASAP.

9am - 5:30pm Monday - Friday (Eastern time)
In 2010 with the help of World Expeditions we put together a 4 week trip to Borneo, which included the ascent of Kinabalu, trekking the headhunters trail and shooting rapids in a longboat.
However one of the highlights was the Rejang River Tour. The combination of the superbly opulent teak and brass appointments of the boat together with food and service of the highest quality and the exposure to the real Borneo was really remarkable.
Our ships guide, Louis Jap, through daily excursions into the hinterland, introduced us to the history and tribal culture of this part of Borneo. We trekked in the jungle. We visited longhouses, participated in a wonderful village Muslim wedding, where we appeared to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the guests. We transferred to smaller boats to sail small tributaries to see the early morning wildlife. We visited a remote jungle boarding school and medical centre, and had regular evening entertainment from local school children and dancers as we moored up for the night.
The ships crew welcomed us back to the boat after each excursion with hot towels and drinks and took our footwear to clean before we could soil the deck. When we were cruising we could just relax with our 20 fellow passengers and have all our needs attended to.
This is only a taste of a trip, which certainly exceeded our expectations by a country mile!!

Slabman and newtwo99 are serial posters on the RVP message board who have been spouting their drivel about some "trial" since mid 2002.They were posting, even way back then, that BD would end up buying RVP for $40 per share (!!!) and that the lawsuit would end up with BD paying RVP billions of dollars (I'm not joking) in damages.Even yesterday, they were posting that BD had "plummeted" because of the impending trial, despite the fact that RVP were down more than BD.Just head to the RVP borad and have a laugh at their imbecillic posts. It makes for humerous reading.
Well if you doubt there is a pending trial regarding constraint of trade, then you need to be aware it's set for the first week of February. In these instances it is not uncommon for various stock valuations to fluctuate as rumors come and go. Nothing to be definitive on at this stage except BD is in for a battle. The other defendants caved at the 11th hour....expect BD to do the same.
I find the desparation of these RVP serial posters utterly unbelieveable. It is downright laughable.No-one is doubting some small peanuts impending trial. Obviously the Street doesn't really care - 3 weeks to the trial and BD is buoyant while RVP is lower than it was 6 months ago.If (and it is a very big if) BD do end up settling with some small peanuts group like Retractable - they won't get much. What happened to all the money you guys got from Tyco and Novation? Where is the cash now?It's about time small peanuts companies started to make money from selling actual products instead of leaching from the real players in the industry.Slabman61 = Imbecile
I'm still waiting for the ink to dry on the deal that the so called expert posted a while back. Take what you read on these post with a lot of salt.

Hi I am trying to move my site to a localhost for testing. It was originally built on my hosting site where I installed wordpress. I have been told the issues I am having are due to it being built in Linux and I am trying to install it in windows. The files and the database are all set up and I have enabled rewrite in apache. Is there anything else I must do to get the website running locally. I can now at least get to the wp-login.php page now after enabling apache rewrite option. Oh I am using Wamp (full version) as my database server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

British teenage computer whiz strikes deal with YahooThe Associated Press | March 27,2013LONDON One of Britains youngest Internet entrepreneurs has hit the jackpot after selling his top-selling mobile application Summly to search giant Yahoo.
Seventeen-year-old Nick dAloisio, who dreamed up the idea for the content-shortening program when he was studying for his exams, said he was surprised by the deal. As with its other recent acquisitions, Yahoo didnt disclose how much it is paying for Summly, although British newspapers suggested the deals value at several million dollars.
I would have never imagined being in this position so suddenly, he wrote on his website, before thanking his family, his school and his venture capitalist backer Li Ka-Shing for supporting him.
Summly works by condensing content so readers can scroll through more information more quickly useful for the small screens of smartphones.
The deal announced Monday is Yahoos fifth small acquisition in the past five months. All of them have been part of CEO Marissa Mayers effort to attract more engineers with expertise in building services for smartphones and tablet computers, an increasingly important area of technology that she believes the Internet company had been neglecting.
Although the Yahoo acquisition wont close until later this spring, DAloisio said the Summly will no longer be available. Summlys technology will return in other Yahoo products, he said.
DAloisio will work for Yahoo in its London office in part so that he can complete his high school exams. Two other Summly workers will join Yahoo at its Sunnyvale, California, headquarters.
DAloisio is younger than Yahoo, which was incorporated in March 1995.MORE IN Wire NewsBATON ROUGE, La. Full StoryMIAMI Hillary Clinton debuted running mate Sen. Full StoryMUNICH The gunman whose rampage at a Munich mall left nine people dead was a depression-plagued... Full Story

Not With a Bang OOC
Edit, 5 December 2003: New player recruited!
Edit, 4 December 2003: Having lost two players and gained one, I'd like to recruit someone to be an eighth player. If you're interested, please take a look at this thread and the IC thread, then post here if you're interested. The party currently consists of a rogue, a paladin, a fighter, a bard, a cleric, a ranger, and an evoker, so it's pretty balanced and just about any class could fit in easily. --LL
All right. I guess it's time for me to just go ahead and set this up, and let the chips fall where they may. I've been thinking for some time about starting a game here, but worried that "it won't be good enough"... as I'd be completely new to PbP DMing. But, hey, you all can be the judges of that. I'm also relatively new to DMing in general, so any feedback you have will be eagerly accepted.
The basic stats:
- Homebrew world, including a homebrew theology (potential Clerics should ask about deities );
- Core 3.5 rules, with very few house rules (see below); feats etc. from other books allowable via inquiry;
- Ad hoc stats, though I reserve the right to tone them down if you're ridiculously overpowered;
- No monstrous characters. Elves are almost unheard of where you'll be starting, so no elves. Half-elves and half-orcs are rare. Other races are available in quantity;
- Starting at first level, maximum starting gold for your class.
A few other things:
I'm more interested in interesting characters than in interesting stats. I'd love to feel enough about the characters that if they die, I'm saddened by it. I'll only accept characters that come complete with a background.
The first bit of adventure will be rather dungeon-crawly. This is partially to get your characters some XP, and partially because even though it may seem that it wouldn't, it fits with the plot. Trust me.
I have one major peeve: Netspeak. If you believe that "ur" is two words, rather than a miscapitalized proper noun referring to an ancient Mesopotamian city, then we're not going to get along.
I think that's it. I'll post later tonight with some background about the world. House rules follow.
House rules:
(1) Spell Focus back to +2;
(2) Perform... if anyone takes a Bard we'll discuss it, but something more useful to Bards than the 3.5 rules;
(3) Half-elves receive human skill points and 1st-level bonus feat, but lose the effective Negotiator feat they were given in 3.0. (of course, you may still choose the Negotiator feat).
Current (likely) players:
Rybaer: Bellows Axegrinder, Dwarf Evoker
Zerth: Baril Kibizin, Human Bard
Casar Couer De' Lion: Nojin Silverspike, Dwarf Fighter
Sam: Grunlor Forgeheart, Dwarf Paladin
Toric_Arthendain: Brevin Inathe, Human Cleric (Litsi)
Manzanita: Arkan Far Traveler, Half-Elven Ranger
Argent Silvermage: Selene Ravensclaw, Halfing Rogue
World Information:
The Kingdom of Mezentil is on its last legs. The Ressim Dynasty has held power in Mezenti, the largest city of the Denaril continent, for nearly two hundred years, but politics are finally getting in the way of that power. Alliances between the Duchies of the Kingdom are shifting, even as the Duchies slowly lose power to a combination of their own bureaucracy and the slow rise of the proletariat. Dukes and even some of the more ambitious Marquesses are locked in a power struggle, the outcome of which will be indeterminate for many years, most likely. In the meantime, though, other powers are rising.
Rumors speak of a dark wizard, living by himself on an island to the west. His army of undead have been known to come onto the mainland, raiding the shores of Tillimei and Calatis, once reaching as far as the city of Mestra before being driven back by an army of clerics. Few know what he's up to there, and even fewer are speaking.
(1) The Denaril Continent (prime section). This is an overview map showing the duchies of the Mzentil Kingdom. A couple of notes: (a) this is the Southern hemisphere; Mezenti is at about 45 degrees latitude, and the bottom of the map is around 70 degrees latitude, near where the icecap starts. The continent actually continues to the other side of Mizana (the name of the planet); (b) the Nomatassei is not part of the Kingdom; that's where the Elves live, generally secluded from all the rest of the races. Damned elves. (c) the mountainous area near the middle of the continent is the area most likely to see Orc infestations and so forth. Tread with caution.
(2) The Colinna area. You'll be starting either in Colinna or in Alten's Rock--I haven't quite decided yet. Colinna, the capital of the duchy of Colinna and the home of Duke Iobin Desell, has about 50,000 people; Alten's Rock, an important trade stop because of its proximity to the River Nom (the larger river), has about 5,000 people. If you're interested in having your character (though not the party) originate elsewhere, let me know where (a city, the country, north, south, etc.)
Mizana, the third planet of the Telenn system, is home to the Mezentil Kingdom, as well as several other continents' worth of people. Mizana has two moons: Rinell, a large moon which sits at the second LaGrange point and thus is always directly opposite the sun Telenn; and Litsi, a small moon with an eccentric, somewhat erratic, very fast, and nearly polar orbit. Litsi orbits Mizana every three days or so.
Always visible near the direction of the vernal equinox--except when it's eclipsed by Telenn or Rinell--is a very dark red star, Gaitann, which is co-orbital with Telenn.
And, because I'm just that big of a dork, you can take a look at the orbital elements of Mizana and Litsi (Rinell's orbit is determined by Mizana's) in this document. Also in this document is the calendar, if you're interested.
If I could actually do the math, I'd know where Litsi was in the sky at any given time... and I'd be far too obsessive.
Many of the greater gods of Mizana are directly associated with an astronomical body--and in fact have great power over that body, if they wish it. Rinell, for instance, stabilizes his moon so that it can sit at L2, rather than letting its orbit degenerate. He's very... stable like that.
Also of interest: there are no race-specific gods. The elves and dwarves, gnomes and halflings were worshipping these gods long before humans appeared on the scene. You may take your racial domain (from the FRCS) if you wish to do so, no matter your patron.
Finally, only clerics truly have Patrons. Like the Greeks, most inhabitants of Mizana pretty much believe in all of the major gods, and pray to one or another when specific guidance is wished in a certain area. Clerics do choose a Patron god or goddess, though commune and similar spells may end up being answered by another god or goddess, depending on the specific information sought.
On to the gods:
Telenn, god of the sun, AKA Lightbringer, He Who Shines. NG, portfolio includes light, goodness, protectors, defense. Domains: Good, Sun, Healing, Protection, Strength.
Litsi, goddess of the inner moon, AKA Moondancer, the Swift Moon. CG, portfolio includes messengers, fools, jokes, and speed. Domains: Chaos, Good, Speed (custom domain), Travel, Trickery.
Rinell, god of the outer moon, AKA He Who Waits, the Great Judge. LN, portfolio includes judges, law, long-term planning. Domains: Law, Patience (custom domain), Moon, Air, Planning.
Mizana, goddess of the world, AKA Mother of All. N, portfolio includes druids, rangers, nature. Domains: Animal, Earth, Healing, Plant, Renewal.
Mossos, god of time, AKA Father Time, the First Historian. N, portfolio includes bards, historians, knowledge. Domains: Time, Speed, Patience, Knowledge, Luck.
Gaitann, goddess of the red star, AKA the Brooder, the Watcher. LE, portfolio includes fear, tyranny, destruction. Domains: Destruction, Evil, Fire, Law, Tyranny.
Lesser gods to come later, likely tomorrow.

I'm interested. Could you give us a couple paragraph world primer...something that might help us with developing a character backstory that fits with your world?
Tentatively leaning toward creating a dwarven wizard. Might be intested in a cleric of some sort, pending on what your homebrew pantheon is like.

I haven't had any experience with D&D, but quite a bit with other gaming systems, and I'd love to try out a female rogue. I have a character background, but I wanted to ask first. I don't have the revised PHB, but I do have access to the SRD, so creation wont be a problem if some one can give me the starting gold forthe rogue class.

I'm interested too. Not sure what race or class at this point. I'll probably wait until you post the world background before committing to a particular race and class.

Gay & Lesbian Politics: Sexuality and the Emergence of a New Ethic
An active participant in and theorist of the gay and lesbian movement, Mark Blasius contends that being gay or lesbian is by definition political. By extension, the phenomenon of a movement founded on collective identity is a quintessential part of American politics. The continually rising public consciousness of the needs and interest of gays and lesbians provides Blasius with a vehicle for showing how a particular aspect of human life comes to assume political dimensions. Upon this premise, he analyzes the process of how power is exercised through sexuality and traces the historical conditions that have made possible a gay and lesbian politics. Drawing on works of political philosophy, social science, including Foucault, and gay and lesbian studies, Blasius explores the invention of a gay and lesbian ethos, through which participation, even for apolitical gays and lesbians, goes beyond a shared culture and perspective. It is a way of life more encompassing than either sexual orientation or lifestyle alone. Though he acknowledges and reflects upon the divergent range of gay and lesbian experiences, Blasius provides a framework based on theories of power, sexuality, and ethics that elaborates the significance of the movement as a whole within contemporary society. Mark Blasius, Associate Professor of Political Science at City University of New York, LaGuardia, is the co-author of "We Are Everywhere: An Historical Sourcebook in Gay and Lesbian Politics".

Bollywood (Pocket Essentials)
Check it out. Bollywood, as the Bombay-based Hindi film industry is affectionately nicknamed, is the new cool in international cinema. The world s most prolific film industry has always been regarded with dubious interest by Western critics, film professionals and movie-goers. What else can you expect from a genre that requires every film to have a young good-looking romantic lead couple, half a dozen or more lengthy songs lip-synched by actors to playback singers, costume changes every five minutes and an utter disregard for most film narrative conventions? In spite of these quirky peculiarities or hell, maybe because of them it has come out of the kitsch closet and taken its place alongside the most respected ethnic films on the planet. Partly it s a numbers game. India has the fastest population growth rate in the world, the second largest population (over 1.1 billion at the last count) and one of the highest percentages of youth between the ages of 12 and 24. As any Hollywood mogul will tell you over his California champagne, that s the magic age group that fills cinema halls and chews up the movie tickets and popcorn everywhere in the world. Look at some more figures... In 1985, a staggering 905 feature films were produced in India. This figure was split up into several different ethnic languages, the majority coming out of the Tamil-, Telegu- and Malayalam- speaking states of South India. 185 of the films were in the Hindi language and produced in the sultry Western Indian city of Bombay. It wasn t the peak that was in 1991 when a record 215 films rolled out of Bombay s overworked processing labs but it was still a mammoth output. More than the sheer number of films, it s Bollywood s impact which is immeasurable. If you re used to Hollywood s slick, overproduced product, Hindi films will seem corny, kitsch, even crude at times. On the other hand, if you like music with your movies, the way Australian whizkid Baz Luhrmann did in his spectacular Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge, you re in for a big treat. In fact, Luhrman flew to Bombay for the release of Moulin Rouge where he confessed candidly that the film was inspired by Bollywood.

At the moment, I don't understand why it is really important to use mbstring functions in PHP when dealing with UTF-8? My locale under linux is already set to UTF-8, so why doesn't functions like
preg_replace and so on don't work properly by default?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
All of the PHP string functions do not handle multibyte strings regardless of your operating system's locale. That is why you need to use the multibyte string functions.
From the Multibyte String Introduction:
People here don't understand UTF-8.
You do not need to use UTF-8 aware code to process UTF-8. For the most part.
I've even written a Unicode uppercaser/lowercaser, and NFC and NFD transforms, using only byte-aware functions. It's hard to think of anything more complicated than that, that needs such delicate and detailed treatment of UTF-8. And yet it still works with byte-only functions.
It's very rare that you need UTF-8 aware code. Maybe to count the number of characters, or to move an insertion point forward by 1 character. But actually, even then your code won't work ;) because of decomposed characters.
But if all you are doing is replacements, finding stuff, or even parsing syntax, you just need byte-aware functions.
I'll explain why.
It's because no UTF-8 character can be found inside any other UTF-8 character. That's how it is designed.
Try to explain to me how you can get text processing errors, in terms of a multi-byte system where no character can be found inside another character? Just one example case! The simplest you can think of.
Here is my answer in plain English.
A single Japanese and Chinese and Korean character take more than a single byte. Eg., a typical charactert say
1) It is use to work with string which is in other language(means not in English) format.

Are there some good ways to know how a function performs in C? I would like to, for example compare my own function to a library function.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You need high-resolution timers.
On Linux,
Quick sample, for Linux:
You would of course adjust the count (100,000) to match the performance of the function. It's best if the function really takes a while to run, otherwise the loop and/or the function call overhead might dominate.
The open-source Callgrind profiler (for Linux) is a really awesome way to measure performance. Coupled with KCacheGrind, you get really great visualizations of where your time is spent.
Callgrind is part of Valgrind.
Run it (them) several million times (each) and measure the time it takes.
gprof can help :)
Here's the result of gprof when I run a program of mine for 10 seconds (function names changed)
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls ms/call ms/call name 60.29 8.68 8.68 115471546 0.00 0.00 workalot 39.22 14.32 5.64 46 122.70 311.32 work_b 0.49 14.39 0.07 inlined 0.07 14.40 0.01 46 0.22 0.22 work_c 0.00 14.40 0.00 460 0.00 0.00 find_minimum 0.00 14.40 0.00 460 0.00 0.00 feedback 0.00 14.40 0.00 46 0.00 0.00 work_a
Store off the system time before you enter the function. Store off the system time after you return from the function. Subtract the difference and compare the two implementations.
Checkout HighResTimer for a high performance timer.
You'll probably find storing the time before/after isn't accurate enough and will probably result in 0 unless you have a longer running function.
Fred, I notice that you said in a comment that you're on OS X. The best way to get very accurate timings of small-scale functions on OS X is with the
This gives you the average timing across
This can have its own problems, especially if the function being timed is very very fast. You need to think about what you are really trying to measure and pick an approach that is scientifically justified (good experimental design is hard). I often use a hybrid between these two approaches as a first attempt at measuring a novel task (a minimum of averages over many calls).
Note also that in the code samples above, the timings are in "mach time units". If you just want to compare algorithms, this is usually fine. For some other purposes, you may want to convert them to nanoseconds or cycles. To do this, you can use the following functions:
Be aware that the conversion to nanoseconds will always be sound, but the conversion to cycles can go awry in various ways, because modern CPUs do not run at one fixed speed. Nonetheless, it generally works pretty well.
All of these other answers are using some variant of
A much better alternative is to actually use the CPU cycle counter. On x86, you can do this with the
For more on profiling using various hardware counters, see PAPI. For some purposes, simulators (like Callgrind and interrupt-based profilers (Oprofile) are useful.
Hello i will give you an example and explain it:
output: Processor time used by program: 4.94066e-324 sec.
declares clock_t which is an arithmetic(you can do math on this value like i do in the example) time value. basically put any code where the comment is.
CLOCKS_PER_SEC is a macro declared in time.h, use it as the denominator to convert the value into seconds.
it is essential to cast it to long double for two reasons:
Make sure to use a significant sample as the time resolution might vary your results. This is especially true for short duration functions. Use high-resolution timers (microseconds resolution is available on most platforms).
As the simplest and portable approach you can use the standard function time(), which returns the current number of seconds since the Epoch.
Adjust the number of iterations to your needs. If one function call needs 5 seconds then you need a laaarge cup of coffee for 1000000 iterations... When the difference is less than 1 second, even for a large number, you should 1) ask yourself if it matters and if yes, 2) check if your favorite compiler already has builtin profiling functions.
Check out RDTSC but it is better do it like below.
0 - Call system's Sleep or Yield function so that when it returns, you have a new timeslice
2 - Call your function
If your function is a long running one, you have to use some sort of profiling tool like gprof (it is very easy to use) & Intel's VTune application (which I have not used for a long time). After seeing Art's answer, I changed my mind from gprof to Callgrind. I used only the Memcheck tool of Valgrind in the past and it was a magnificent tool. I have not used Callgrind before but I am sure it is better than gprof...

Such a good movie! I really didn't know much about the film going into it, except for the fact that it had something to do with Viagra going into it, and that Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway were the leads. That was enough to make me see it. Remember when they played a dysfunctional couple in Brokeback Mountain together? Well, here's a little synopsis of their second project together:
Maggie (Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. Based on Jamie Reidy's memoir "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman."
As we start off the film, we learn that Jamie, who is a bit of a player, is struggling to find his passion in life while his douchie younger brother (Josh Gad – who was hilarious) overshadows him with loads of financial success. One of my favorite lines of his was when Jamie showed his sensitive side and his brother asks him, "Were you molested by a care bear?" LOL. Anyway, an opportunity falls on Jamie's lap to get into pharmaceutical sales. We see him learn the ropes and go through the trials and tribulations of life in sales on the road. He is partially motivated by this jerk of a man that essentially rules the market and has an in with all the key doctors. This makes it difficult for him to get any samples in the hands of the doctors.
After some a bit of work, he convinces a key doctor to let him sit in with patients so he could get a better idea of his needs. That's where Maggie comes in. She's getting checked up and getting new meds for her disease. She's in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. As part of her checkup, she has to go topless, where Jamie, the lady's man, sneaks a peak. After the exam, Maggie sees Jamie in the parking lot with his samples, so she figures out that he's a sales rep and is livid. Jamie feels bad, especially since he's really into her and he needs to make it up to her. To further complicate this, Jamie learns that Maggie has history with his rival sales rep.
With what starts out as casual sex between Maggie and Jamie, starts to become more than that as Jamie starts to really get into her. But, because Maggie struggles with her disease, she avoids commitment in relationships because she doesn't want to get hurt in the end when they break up with her because of what the Parkinson's will do to her.
A fancy little drug called Viagra falls on Jamie's lap and it becomes the jackpot for success with the doctors. It wasn't hard to sell the hard-ons. He does really well with his job, but as things progress, so does Maggie's Parkinson's. She struggles to let him help her and it's truly heartbreaking.
The two have some intense & hot sex scenes and yes, there is a lot of nudity in this from the two stars. I guess you could say that the film is a meatier version of a romantic comedy. It had more substance and there are some really touching moments between the two stars. Their love story is amazing.
Also amazing in the film was the music. Some of the great music that was played includes Two Princes by the Spin Doctors (as the movie opened), Heaven Is a Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle (as Viagra started taking off, and Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key by Billy Bragg, playing at some point during the film (I can't remember exactly when – but it was amazing).
MOVIE RATING: 4.5 out of 5 stars

The Odd, Yet Delightful History of Condoms
Animal Urges
When researching the history of the condom, writer Hunter Oatman-Stanford discovered that in the early 1700s, butchers scored extra bank by selling the animal intestines thrown out by slaughterhouses as condoms (or "skins as they were called). The oldest condoms archeologists have discovered were from 1642, found in a cave in Europe.
Punishing Pleasure
Though condom production in America increased in 1839 when Charles Goodyear figured out how to vulcanize rubber, the party ended in 1873 when religious reformer Anthony Comstock pressured Congress to pass a law punishing anyone caught mailing "any article... for the prevention of conception."
The law carried a minimum six-month prison sentence for violation.
Doughboys In Peril
In the early 1900s, the U.S. military issued a painful post-coital chemical prophylaxis to Naval servicemen that involved antiseptics and urethral syringes—YOW!
According to Oatman-Stanford, "Over the next two years, around 380,000 American soldiers would be diagnosed with some form of VD, eventually costing the U.S. more than $50 million in treatment."

The players and public remain mostly in the dark about who
will make the All Blacks World Cup squad, but the selectors
at least are all but there with maybe only a couple of
decisions still to make.
Rugby fans gather in Dunedin as Australia and New Zealand meet for their third Bledisloe Cup test.

A marquee village for Bledisloe Cup revellers will be erected
when the lower Octagon is closed on Friday.
Dunedin accommodation is filling up for October's Bledisloe
Cup rugby encounter, prompting Jetstar to add a late-night

Bledisloe Cup rugby returns to Dunedin next year with
confirmation the city will host the third match in the
three-test series.
Senior All Blacks have held a meeting with the squad's
newcomers to ensure they recognise the importance of the
looming challenge against traditional foe Australia.
ARU chief executive John O'Neill says reclaiming the

Spectacular fried zucchini ~ and coming from the "Longmeadow" where zucchini come up like thistle growing in our long fields....this comes at the most appropriate time. Man, these are great! The only small change was adding some Tabasco to the egg/milk mixture ~ (but certainly no need to!) I used the Bearnaise sauce...and this complimented the sticks....perfectly. I used panko, and also after dipping the second time in the flour, I let them sit for about 5 minutes then put into panko and that took hold as though I lassoed it to itself. Great recipe, Uncle Bill! Hugs from the farm.
Yum, thanks! I used multigrain saltines, more than 1/2 tsp of seasoning salt, and added kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the flour mix. I served with a dip I made from just light mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic salt. Delicious side dish for our pork chops!
This was very good. I used seasoned bread crumbs instead of saltines and served with a horseradish/mayo sauce. Thank you for sharing. Will make again!
Thanks for a great recipe-I took the advice of Pot Scrubber and used breadcrumbs instead of cracker crumbs. I added some grated parm-reggiano to the breadcrumbs too. Thanks again!
Great breading. Used Panko Japanese crumbs (cause that was laying around) and fried in peanut oil. Great crunch but needed some flavor (tried seasoning them but I just couldn't get the flavor to my liking). I think next time we'll go with the saltines and evoo. I think the Panko and peanut oil combo was too bland. But the technique produced a superb breading! Thanks Uncle Bill.
So tasty! The oil was too hot and didn't allow the zucchini to tenderize enough, so we turned it down to about 325 degrees F and it was perfect. I also used breadcrumbs (garlic and herb flavored) as I didn't have saltines on hand. The fried zucchini was so tasty that it inspired us to deep fry a bunch of stuff for fun after starting these- pickles, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, and even cheddar wurst and hot sausages (but the zucchini was my favorite)! Not the healthiest meal, but so good! :) Thank you for sharing this Uncle Bill!
I used Ritz crackers instead of saltines and added some seasoned bread crumbs plus had a fresh made tzatziki sauce for dipping. Best I EVER had in my life! I will be trying the bearnaise sauce next time as well.
I just found a zucchini in a my garden...I'm going to try this recipe tonight!
Absolutely LOVED the crispiness of this recipe! I added some Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan/Romano to the crushed crackers. I will definitely be making this again A new favorite for my family. Thanks "Uncle Bill" !!!!!
Tried the recipe with the addition of parmesan cheese to panko breading....really liked the results. Even people who do not like zucchini enjoyed this preparation. Will do these again.

Cheap Flights to Pensacola
Pensacola certainly has no shortage of activities and attractions to entertain tourists of all tastes. Visitors can explore the beautiful white-sand beaches along Florida's Gulf Coast. Pensacola Beach is one of the most popular in the area. Here, tourists can find Pensacola hotel deals, dine on coastal cuisine and shop at many unique boutiques. In addition to sunbathing and swimming, the Pensacola coastal region is one of the most sought after destinations for divers. Many sunken ships lie on the gulf bed, creating entire ecosystems for ocean life. Another draw for tourists are the city's many historic sites. Since its founding, five different governments have claimed ownership over Pensacola, which is why the city claims the nickname "The City of Five Flags." Remnants of this eclectic past still remain, especially in historic downtown Pensacola. Known as the Historic Pensacola Village, this cluster of preserved places includes the Old Christ Church, an iconic place of worship built in 1832. There are also many museums within this historic area, including the Pensacola Historical Museum and the Museum of Industry. Pensacola is also home to the first Naval Air Station in the country. It serves as the primary training base for all Navy and Marine flight officers. Tourists can visit the base, which is home to a number of attractions including the National Museum of Naval Aviation. In addition, Pensacola boasts a vibrant art scene, fun-filled festivals, great coastal cuisine and an excellent nightlife. You can find cheap flights to Pensacola using Travelzoo's SuperSearch.
Which Airlines Fly to Pensacola?
The Pensacola Regional Airport (PNS) serves the Pensacola area. You can search for airfare from Atlanta on AirTran Airways and Delta. Meanwhile, those flying out of the Midwest can buy plane tickets from Chicago on United and American Eagle, which also flies out of Miami and Dallas. East Coast travelers can search for discount flights from Charlotte and Washington, D.C., on US Airways and United. Continental provides service from Orlando, Tampa and Houston.
Pensacola Flight Tips
Alternatively, you can also compare airfare to Mobile, which is only an hour's drive west of Pensacola. Several domestic carriers provide service to Mobile, including American Eagle, Continental, Delta and US Airways.
Quick Travel Guide to Pensacola
Get acquainted with the history of Pensacola by visiting the Historic Pensacola Village. This downtown district is home to 22 historic buildings and museums. The T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum is one of the most popular sites in the village. Built in 1907, the building served as the Pensacola City Hall up until 1985. The museum details the history of the Florida Panhandle and houses a hands-on kid-friendly exhibit called the Discovery Gallery. The Village is also home to the Museum of Commerce, which consists of 20 properties that reconstruct the late-19th century cityscape.
Or take a day to tour the sites of Pensacola's Naval Air Station. The station was first built in 1826 as a Navy Yard. It features its own historic district with 42 buildings and 13 structures and serves as the home and main practice facility for the famous Blue Angels. Visitors can also take tours of Fort Barrancas, an abandoned U.S. military fort that was built to protect Pensacola Bay. One of the most popular sites at the Naval Air Station is the National Museum of Naval Aviation. The spacious institution houses more than 150 aircraft and spacecraft. There is also an IMAX theater, a museum store and a cafe on-site.
If you want to partake in Pensacola's art scene, pay a visit to the Pensacola Museum of Art. Housed in an old jail in downtown Pensacola, the museum's permanent collections focus on 20th century, modern and contemporary works. Notable artists on display include Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder and Miriam Schapiro. The Pensacola Civic Center is often used for touring theatrical shows, and the city boasts its own symphony orchestra, opera and choral society.
Of course, no trip to Pensacola would be complete without a visit to its magnificent beaches. The main site for sunbathers is located across Pensacola Bay in the community of Pensacola Beach. Here, visitors can take a walk down Quietwater Beach Boardwalk. Along this popular promenade, you'll find an eclectic mix of street performers, shops, restaurants and nightclubs. If you're looking to go diving, contact a tour company, which can set up a trip to the Oriskany aircraft carrier. Located 24 miles southeast of Pensacola Pass, this sunken vessel now serves as a home to a host of aquatic life.

I love Ski Sante Fe.
I used to ski all the time in my teens, mostly New England (Stowe, Killington, etc...), then I quit for about 25 years.
Mainly because there's no where to ski in Texas.
I have been going for the 4 years since I moved ABQ. They helped me get started again and I was skiing the intermediate trails that same day.
Doug at the ski school was sooo helpful ...on the phone and in person.
Nobody else was scheduled in my class so I got 1 on 1 teaching ...or re-teaching ...lol.
All the people complaining here are not regulars.
You have to know when to go to have a great experience.
If you go when schools out ...forget it.
Weekends are very crowded too!
I go during the week and 90% of the time ski up to the lift directly ....no lines.
As for the complaints about lifts stopping so often, I guess they forget what it was like to be a beginner.
Everyone started learning at some point. Nobody was born with skis (or snowboards) on.
Be patient. There's no where to practice getting on a lift, but at the lift itself.
If you stay in the upper part of the mountain (Millenium and Sierra lifts) you rarely have to deal with this problem.
I love Totemoff's, the mid-mountain lodge, great hot chocolate ...ask for some cinnamon!
I wish they had a warming lodge at the top though.
I did put food as a con, but hey are you there to eat or to ski?
Yes, it could be better, but they do have adequate to sometimes great food ...again depends on when you go.
La Casa Cafeteria has some great items ...sometimes.
I've had a butternut squash soup there that was outstanding! Their menu changes often, whereas Totemoff's always serves mainly burger type fare.
I think the point of food (in this instance) is to re-energize, not to be a gourmet palace.
Don't like the food ...bring your own. They have microwaves that are free to use.
That or buy a Nutri-grain bar to tide you over.
The road there?
I love the road there, especially when it's covered with snow, ...it's part of the experience.
I've seen tons of wildlife on the way there. Also it's a fun road, lots of twists and turns.
The parking could be better. I see where the complaints are coming from and what there about, but again if you know when to go you won't have any problems. I get top lot parking everytime I go so I've never experienced what the others are complaining about.
I don't get to go to the other ones in NM, because their just too far away.
I ski all day, so I'm very tired at the end and it's about an hour and a half to drive back home, which in itself is very tiring. Any further and I'd be falling asleep at the wheel. That or any further and I'd have to get a hotel room. Probably for 2 nights too because if I only do one night and ski all day I'm still bushed for the drive home.
I do wish they had lodging ...at the mountain.
I will give one bit of advice ....if you've been to Ski Sante Fe, you won't like Sandia ...much smaller.
I did only give it 4 stars ...only because 5 stars are reserved for the mega resorts like; Killington, Aspen, Vail, etc...

Businessman chosen as E.D. White's Alumnus of the Year
Published: Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.

THIBODAUX Local engineer and business-owner Alvin Badeaux was chosen as the 2009 E.D. White Alumnus of the Year.
The award is given to graduates who have found success while maintaining the schools Catholic values. Graduates nominate candidates and choose the winner from among the nominees.
Badeaux graduated in 1958 from Thibodaux College, a boys school that merged with the all-girls Mount Carmel Academy to become E.D. White. He studied engineering in college, earning a masters degree in 1965 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. He returned to Thibodaux and, in 1968, opened Badeaux Engineers.
Badeaux, 68, said lessons he learned at Thibodaux College have remained with him.
What I learned most importantly was that discipline and fun go well together, he said. We had strict discipline when we were in school, and we had a lot of fun.
And though colleagues describe his reputation in the engineering field as impeccable, Badeaux has found success in other areas of the community.
He has always been a behind-the-scenes type of guy, said Judge Randy Parro, who grew up with Badeaux. Hes dependable. Hes trustworthy. Hes involved in all aspects of the community.
For example, Badeaux helped lead the merger of Lafourche National and Citizens banks in the 80s.
Parro also worked with Badeaux during the late 70s on the Thibodaux Zoning Commission. The commission passed regulations to protect the clean, small-town feel of Thibodaux, though those regulations werent universally popular at the time.
The willingness to follow push for things he believes in, regardless of what others think, is another quality that Badeaux traces to lessons learned at the school.
You must think about consequences, he said. In all undertakings, in business and family and social situations, you understand that you often must make the right choices rather than perhaps the easiest choices.

"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"The piece (Black Gold II 2006) is literally like a sort of oil splash on the wall, with black and gold painted onto the fabrics. I was just thinking about oil becoming a rare commodity—a source of wars because of its rarity. It's just oil as black gold, but the explosive impact of oil on people's lives can be traced back to oil."
-Yinka Shonibare MBE
