PKP Bugzilla – Bug 6244
Remove either the review type or have a single review workflow step.
Last modified: 2011-12-13 12:05:02 PST
We currently have both, two workflow step constants for the review process and the review type field in the monograph. This is redundant information, creates code duplication and an unnecessary potential for inconsistent data and error. We should either remove the distinction between the two WORKFLOW_STAGE_* variables or remove the review type field then.
Current bugs caused by this inconsistency:
- workflow stage policies have WORKFLOW_STAGE_ID_REVIEW_INTERNAL hard coded
- a unique mapping from file stages to workflow stages is not possible (e.g. required for authorization of files) which means that file access can not be correctly authorized
Make sure that stage assignments in setup and default signoffs (stage participants) are compatible with the chosen solution.
Consider removing review type completely and count review rounds from 1 to n across both internal and external review and retrieve the review type passing by file -> submission -> workflow stage and leave the two different workflow stages in there.
added some fixmes where the internal review is hardcoded:
Main implementations:
File related grids:
NewReviewRound form:
Workflow Handler:
files grid fallback on request var for stageId and data providers always get stageId from containing grid.

Excess weight on the key ring can cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position without warning, turning off the engine. This defect can also affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Dealers will provide two replacement key rings and key cover on all ignition keys to correct this concern.

Obama: Let's 'fix our broken immigration system'
President Barack Obama called on the House to pick up where the Senate left off last year on immigration reform.
In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, President Barack Obama pointed towards hope for lasting immigration legislation in 2014. Obama renewed his call for a potential overhaul of the country's immigration system for the first time in three decades.
"If we are serious about economic growth," Mr. Obama said, "it is time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement -- and fix our broken immigration system.
Saying that both Democrats and Republicans are working toward immigration overhaul, his remarks mirrored his appeal for immigration policy reform in his 2013 address.
"Our economy is stronger when we harness the talents and ingenuity of striving, hopeful immigrants," Obama said then. "Now is the time to do it. Now is the time to get it done."
Last summer, the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration bill that sought to firm up border security and to clear a pathway of citizenship for 11 million undocumented residents in the nation, a measure that made House GOP lawmakers uneasy and a demand that Mr. Obama did not make in Tuesday's speech.
Late last year, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said House Republicans had "no intention of ever going to conference on the Senate bill." The Senate-passed measure did not go up for a vote. Boehner and other House leaders have maintained that Congress adopt a "step-by-step way" to address immigration reform instead of the comprehensive approach that gave way to the Senate's bill.
In early 2014, Obama said he would accept the House's piecemeal approach, while Boehner hired Rebecca Tallent, former top aide to Sen. John McCain, in December to be his new immigration policy director. Boehner said Tallent was part of the Republican effort to craft a list of "principles" for immigration reform.

GIGABYTE motherboard used for new DDR3 RAM world record at 4.62GHz
GIGABYTE is already breaking various records with its LN2-only motherboard, the Z97X-SOC Force LN2. Today, the company has announced that the new SOC Force LN2 motherboard has broken the DDR3 memory world record, not once, but twice.
Once at launch, hitting 4.5GHz, and then just three days later, the motherboard was used for another world record. The second time was at the Kingston HyperX OC Takeover World Finals, where a team of overclockers breached the massive 4.56GHz speed. If you thought this was the end, you were wrong. After a bunch of reports hitting the Internet of suspicious memory overclocks, GIGABYTE took it upon itself to pull out the big guns with its Z97X-SOC Force LN2 motherboard.
Using this motherboard, the GIGABYTE overclocking team smashed the DDR3 memory world record once again, reaching a gigantic 4.62GHz. This was achieved using Kingston's HyperX Predator DDR3 RAM. It looks like these days, posting a score with clear pictures of your work on HWBOT.org isn't enough for these super overclocks. To make sure nothing was left out, and that the public could see the overclocker's work, they uploaded everything onto YouTube.

We sneak a peek at the USB 3.1 enabled MSI motherboard
Computex 2014 - USB 3.1 isn't something we've heard a ton about yet but with its eye clearly set on destroying Thunderbolt MSI has jumped to the party early showing off a motherboard utilizing the upcoming technology. While we don't have much in the way of the model or anything like that, putting the pieces together we can see this upcoming Z97 motherboard which will fall under the GD series offers us USB 3.1 technology via the ASMedia ASM1142 controller.
Looking above you can see the next generation USB connectivity will offer up to 10Gbps; twice as much as the current generation USB 3.0 connectivity. Along with the massive boost in performance the technology will continue to support USB 3.0 devices with no issue.
As for the actual board you can see we've got all the standard Z97 features with an M.2 slot sitting in the middle along with SATA Express support towards the bottom right of the board alongside two SATA III connectors. We're not quite sure when we'll see this board as USB 3.1 devices aren't something that are being promoted too heavily at the moment.
MSI tease DDR4 wielding X99 motherboard
Computex 2014 - While being spoken about a little; the upcoming X99 platform continues to be quiet around the show with few companies showing it off. Over at the MSI booth, though, we got a chance to take a look one of their upcoming boards based on the chipset. The blue and black color scheme is fairly common and we'll indeed see it fall under the GD naming scheme.
Taking a look at the specification sheet next to the board you can see a number of the main features including support for HSW-E or Haswell-E 8-Core Extreme Edition processors utilizing the 2011 socket design. 8 DIMM slots give us support for up to 64GB of DDR4 at speeds going too 2666MHz DDR via overclocking.
You can also see that we've got four PCIe x16 slots, two PCIe x4 slots, M.2, SATA Express and SATA III slots along with 12 USB 3.0 ports and Gigabit networking via the I218-V chip. As for MSI specific features you can see Military Class 4 and OC Genie 4 is being offered on the model.
ASUS show off Z97 Republic of Gamers cabinet at Computex 2014
Computex 2014 - ASUS had a huge section dedicated to the Republic of Gamers line at Computex this year; a series that has become extremely popular over the last few years combining quality and performance. Sitting at the top of we have the Maximus VII Formula for people wanting something that truly stands out.
Moving through the rest of the boards we've got the Hero and Ranger version of the boards for people wanting an ATX motherboard but don't quite need the features that are associated with the Formula. It was towards the middle of the cabinet that our attention was drawn, though, with two smaller boards being shown.
In the middle and to the left we have the mean looking GENE version of the Maximus VII which of course translates into a mATX motherboard. If that's still too big for you, though, the mean looking Impact version might be just what you're after. Keep an eye for reviews of some of these ROG boards in the coming weeks and months as ASUS sample us.
ASUS Shows TUF White Motherboard that looks Amazing
Computex 2014 ASUS displayed awhite motherboard, from the TUF Series, at Computex 2014 and they it absolutely stunning.
The SABRANCO even comes with a bit of background detail, adding to the overall experience.
Using the TUF Fortifier metal mousing around the board, on both sides, the motherboard's physical appearance just simply blows your mind with it's presence. This will not be the first white motherboard to hit the market, Sapphire went this direction many years ago on a special edition product but it never looked this good.
To add to the over all look, ASUS displayed a modified case and cooling solution that gives case and system modders a taste of what is possible. Sign me up because the look is worth any premium ASUS wants to add to the cost of the product.
White is also one of the most difficult colors to add to a PCB because the dye needs to be very strong so the original PCB color doesn't bleed through. No word on pricing or availability but we really hope this product comes to market....and quickly.
GIGABYTE goes for gold with its latest motherboards
Computex 2014 - Taking the elevator up to the 36th floor of the beautiful Taipei 101 building we headed to the GIGABYTE suite to see what was being offered by the company. Inside we were greeted with an absolute wealth of motherboards with a large amount of the focus being on the new Z97 chipset from Intel.
Split into three sections we had the Gaming series showing off boards based on the Intel Z97 and H97 chipset along with an AMD A88X based motherboard. Looking at the huge line up of motherboards we can't deny that two particular boards stole our focus. The first based on the H97 chipset. The MATX designed H97M-Gaming 3 looked great with its small foot print. With a strong lineup of features including Killer E2200 networking and support for both SLI and CrossFire this board is no doubt going to be an attractive option for people wanting something that's not too big.
Scanning the rest of the boards the awesome looking MITX Z79N-Gaming 5 was a board I knew instantly I must have. Organizing a sample on the spots the Z97 based motherboard carries with it Killer E2200 networking along with Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless networking up to 802.11 AC. Keep an eye out for this board as GIGABYTE shoot it over to us after Computex.

The X99 motherboard tease begins, with the EVGA X99 FTW motherboard
Computex 2014 - With everything continuing to be under wraps on the upcoming X99 chipset from Intel due out later this year. The folks over at EVGA where showing off a motherboard with no name what so over. Asking if it was the upcoming X99 the "We're not allowed to mention anything about it" was more than enough to let us know just what was in front of us.
While we don't have any official information we can simply only work off what is in front of us. Looking at the board below you can see we've got eight DIMM slots across the top of the board which will house DDR4. On the right side you can see we have a power and reset button, LED Debug and our main 24-Pin ATX power connector to the right.
Across the bottom of the board you can see we've got five PCIe x16 slots along with a single PCIe x4 slot. The bottom right hand corner also shows off 10 SATA slots; six of which we can assume run off the X99 chipset. While EVGA couldn't confirm; based on the color design and the naming scheme, it's safe to say that this will be the EVGA X99 FTW Motherboard. They did let us know that it hasn't been finalized yet, though, so we could see some changes. Keep an eye out for more on X99 as we draw closer to its late Q3 / early Q4 launch.
GIGABYTE has a motherboard for hardcore overclockers, LN2 friendly
Computex 2014 - At GIGABYTE's Computex 2014 Press Conference, some serious overclocking was taking place. dinos22 and HiCookie were at their battle station, rocking GIGABYTE's impressive new Z97X-SOC Force LN2 board - built for LN2 use.
We asked GIGABYTE if this board would be sold to consumers, which it will, so serious overclockers can now get a board that is even more catered to overclockers. dinos22 took to his Facebook page, posting the glorious screenshot showing that they hit a massive 2250.8MHz, which would equate to around DDR3-4500... yes, DDR3-4500.
The new Z97X-SOC Force LN2 doesn't even support air-cooled CPU coolers, as there are no holes in support for this. This motherboard is for serious overclockers only.
GIGABYTE teases SATA Express-capable motherboard at Computex 2014
Computex 2014 - GIGABYTE unveiled its new Black Edition motherboards here in Taiwan at Computex 2014, but one of the stars of the show would have to be the new Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard. Why? Because it has SATA Express, which is capable of 10Gbps, or 1GB/sec transfers on capable drives.
GIGABYTE teamed up with Western Digital, using its awesome PCIe-based WD40RUNVS HDD, a 4TB drive with 128GB of SSD on-board. This provides the drive the best of both world's, super-fast flash storage that is capable of 10Gbps for SATA Express, and 4TB of storage.
ASUS rebels against Intel, adds Devil Canyon support to Z87 boards
Intel's Devil's Canyon CPUs are the next thing to be excited about, but most thought they would require an upgraded motherboard for the new CPUs to work - an upgrade to Z97. Well, that isn't the case for ASUS at least.
ASUS has pushed back at Intel, providing support for Devil's Canyon-based CPUs on its Z87 motherboards - something that was posted on the XtremeSystems forums. The post says: "Most, if not all of their Z87 boards have received a BIOS update allowing the use of Intel's devil canyon processors. This is also backed up on their Cpu support lists".
This is a good thing for owners of Z87-based motherboards who were waiting on the new CPUs, or would like to upgrade to the new CPUs, without having to upgrade to a new motherboard, too. Especially when you may have plunked down $400+ on a high-end board.

Busy but very productive day at work - the sort you work late because you are so busy and happy you don't notice the time.
Today's blip is a shiny £1 from 2012 - which matches the design. Other features on the coin are good, neat milling on the edge, clear lettering and so on. I think it's probably a good one - or a very good dud...

Advocacy Journalism Taints Debate
As a scientist with a half century invested in trying to understand the earth's climate and the various impacts of the sun, the planets, the varying declinations of the earth's s axis, changes in the earth's orbit and now man's possible role in increasing carbon-dioxide emissions, it is disappointing to read a writer of my favorite newspaper, Deborah Solomon, write about the carbon credit or cap and trade debate with the assumption that there is no longer science to debate. Few serious, non-publicity seeking scientists I know think we are even close to an understanding of our climate.
Ms. Solomon seeks to frame the debate as "the scientific debate is over, now we just have to agree on the best way to pay for carbon emission reductions," when in fact the scientific debate isn't over, the case for action grows weaker by the day, and the costs, whether done with a carbon tax or cap and trade, vastly exceed any hypothetical benefits and will cripple our children's and grandchildren's future prospects. This is not journalistic reporting--this borders on advocacy journalism. The Wall Street Journal is better than that.

James Patterson Interview
How To Write A Killer Thriller
What makes a good thriller?James Patterson: A good thriller always opens with a grabber -- like the stunner in David Baldacci's Absolute Power. A house burglar witnesses the president of the United States killing his mistress. Hey, it even sounds plausible. Or how about the beginning of Harry's Game by Gerald Seymour?
The perfect thriller must also have details that make the reader believe, or at least make them want to suspend their disbelief. Tom Clancy does this well in his most over-the-top thrillers. So does Frederick Forsyth. Check out the chase scene with the tour bus in Roses are Red, for one of my favorite examples. Funnily enough, Hollywood actually lifted the scene from Roses are Red and put it in the movie version of Along Came a Spider. No-holds-barred action like that not only lights up a movie screen, but also a reader's mind.
If there is one common flaw among new writers, it's a creeping over-deference to reality and, sometimes, the laws of physics. Mission Impossible wouldn't have worked quite so well if it had been about a series of Missions Possible. A good love story always keeps the pot boiling. Certainly my character of Alex Cross has not been as adroit a relationship-maker as he is a crime solver, but I daresay his series wouldn't have met its level of success if he didn't keep revealing himself as a romantically inclined guy. A memorable villain to root against (or, if the writer is masterful, to root for at times) is a sure fire sign of a great thriller. Hannibal Lecter comes to mind. And Moriarty! With the villains I've created -- from Gary Soneji of Along Came a Spider to Petgirl in the 8th Confession, along with the Tiger in the last Alex Cross novel -- I tend to come up with a unique, driving ethic for each of them, and then let their force of personality be my guide.
In a good thriller the hero is always irresistible. My Alex Cross character isn't just a forensic psychiatrist, he's raising three kids and taking care of his 90-year-old grandmother. Perhaps that's why Cross is the bestselling detective series of the past 20 years?
Twists and turns are de rigueur. I sure believe in them -- the more the merrier, and the scarier. Martina Cole, Ruth Rendell, Michael Connelly, Elmore Leonard would heartily agree, I expect. Get the knife in quickly, and then twist repeatedly.
The gruesome, the grotesque and the generally shocking are always present in a good thriller. There are reasons people seek escape in books and one of those reasons is that the boundary of what can happen is beyond what we do -- or would want to see in real life.
Ultimately, a great thriller is a roller coaster ride. I like to think that's a promise I have never failed to keep, and one that I'd say has served my books well.
Do you feel let down by some translations of books to movies?JP: Hollywood is a peculiar beast -- people in Hollywood are nuts. I once went for a meeting with a studio exec who had commissioned a script based on my book Roses are Red. But when I read the screenplay, it contained nothing that resembled my book at all. The studio guy said he didn't want it. So I gave him a pitch right there, and then I basically told him the story of the book in 10 seconds, and this exec jumped up and down saying: "I love it!" [He] wrote me a check for $250,000 -- for nothing. They already owned the rights. So I think Hollywood is a crazy world, and I can see why some books turn out great and some books not so great.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was a sad, sad, sad, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful movie. The direction, the acting, the art direction, the storytelling was pitch-perfect, and was one of the best movies I saw last year. I saw the Beowulf film with Angelina Jolie and I liked this better than the book! Wonderful visuals and a great story. It made the story so accessible and I liked that.
The recent Pride and Prejudice (one of the best books ever written) with Keira Knightley was an excellent adaptation, I really enjoyed that one. But when I saw Atonement, I thought the book beat the movie. The first third or so was absolutely terrific. The art direction in particular stunning; I haven't seen so many beautiful frames since Barry Lyndon. But once the story turned to war, the art direction felt forced and false to me.

Bringing our own food to Thanksgiving dinner
- Covert Ops Nov 14, 2006 06:51 PM
OK, I've been married five years, and I think this is either the first or second time my husband and I have eaten with my parents. (Either they lived out of state, or I was working, or both.) It will be just them, us and my teenage stepson, no other guests.
My tastes, and the influence of my Southern husband, have changed since traditional Thanksgiving when I was a kid, so there are foods we want that my picky Yankee parents won't touch, like stuffed mushrooms and sweet potatoes.
Mom's making the turkey, stuffing, potatoes and most all of the veggies. We have compromised and I have agreed for her to just cook a breast, since no one eats dark meat besides the teen (and he eats white as well). My mother and husband are the only ones who eat cranberry sauce, but she likes it out of the can and he won't touch it from the can.
So would it be bad if I brought mushrooms, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin roll (something my parents might not eat but is required by my hsuband, both bc it's a tradition for him and because I make it sugar-free for his diabetes), as long as everything was pre-prepared or we could prepare it ourselves in her large kitchen without getting in the way?
I know you'll say, just ask my mom if it would bother her, but she's notorious for not telling the truth about things that irritate her. I'm just wondering how y'all would feel. Keep in mind she's not a big cook -- she's making what's traditional, but it's not like she has a special "menu" planned with wine, etc.
Any thoughts?
1. Ask anyway. Judge her reaction by what she does when the shoes are reversed.
2. Do not bring anything that requires her to concede logistics in the kitchen. That's rude to any cook, even (and sometimes especially) family, unless expressly agreed to. So, preference for things that don't require oven or frig space when your MIL needs *or wants* them. The sauce and the pumpkin roll should pass that test. I am dubious about the sweet potatoes, because I imagine you'd need the oven for that (unless it's without the skins and can be m-waved). Mushrooms should be able to be quickly warmed at an opportune time of your MIL's choice (which may be never....).
re: Karl S
I would assume that if the OP's husband is southern, those sweet potatoes would be already cooked, mashed, and baked into a casserole and merely need a quick reheat, either in oven or microwave. It's a very forgiving, and portable dish.
What's a pumpkin roll?
re: danna
Pumpkin roll is a dessert, a pumpkin dough rolled with cream cheese and walnut filling. My MIL made it for years before she died, and I found a way to duplicate it pretty well with Splenda, but we can certainly eat it at home.
My parents are very finicky and not open to trying new things. I think cranberry sauce is the only thing my husband HAS to have at dinner, and absolutely won't touch the canned stuff, and my mom's the opposite. I think that's all we'll bring, because we can certainly have stuffed mushrooms any time. Hell, our T-givings have been so crazy the past few years, we'll look at this as another new adventure. ;-)
Wow, quite a quandry. I can tell you that holidays at someone else's house is not my favourite activity (I'm a vegetarian and I always feel horrible asking, "does this have any meat, poultry, game meat, seafood or broth/additives of the aforementioned foods?"). I usually call the person and ask what I can bring. If they make a suggestions, great. If they say nothing, then I bring a bottle of wine. My best advice to you would be to eat before you go and plan to have a smaller, additional Thanksgiving meal (just you and your husband) afterwards with your favourite dishes.
As a person who entertains quite frequently, I would be offended if someone brought a number of dishes to my house for a dinner I was hosting. It would make me feel as though they didn't think my food was adequate. Rightly or wrongly, I would feel hurt.
re: librarian
My mom is a good cook, and I learned my mashed potatoes from her, and I know we will love whatever she's making and wouldn't want to eat beforehand. But since I've typed this I've realized that four dishes is way too much. I think I might just bring a small bowl of the cranberry sauce for DH and the mushrooms to reheat, so we're staying out of the way, and the bulk of the food still came from her.
Covert Ops, before I saw your reply I was about to write that I agree with Librarian, but I think that paring down the amount of things you will bring is a good compromise.
Be gracious guests: show up in good spirits, with hearty appetites, full hearts and celebrate the beautiful dinner your mother is lovingly preparing.
All these posts about self-absorbed people insisting things be 'their' way for one meal of the year are just crushing the spirit of the holidays for me.... Really bumming me out.
re: chow_gal
I agree, this meal will be tense enough without aggravating the food issues. :-P
Tradition is one thing, but we've had such untraditional Thanksgivings the past few years (most years involved picking at rotisserie chickens on beachside or riverfront picnics) that we can do tradition at home any time.
re: chow_gal
I agree with being gracious guests. It's the most important.
However, I also want to point out that at Thanksgiving, we are not necessarily "entertaining guests" but feeding family. And family is often a different, and more personal matter.
I have a great number of diabetics in my family, so I try to have dishes that will not totally skew their glucose intake. Covert Ops, could you explain the need for the dishes you'd like to bring that way? Tell your mom you love her traditions, and that you'd like to add to them for the sake of your husband's dietary needs? At the same time, explain to your husband that some "musts" can be met at a different time?
re: cayjohan
It's more of a want than a need -- DH is on insulin, and he'll certainly take a heaping plate of mashed potatoes. It would just be preferably to, say, a cherry pie, but he just would end up skipping dessert. So I'll just make it for him earlier in the week.
The more I read everyone's thoughtful replies, it's helped me crystallize my own thoughts -- thanks everybody! :-)
re: chow_gal
That's it. You nailed it. It's one freakin' meal out of 1,095 others in the year so jsut make the best of it.
Often times I'll go to dinner knowing there will be stuff I don't like but hey you make the best of it and eat it anyway or enough to show your appreciation. I think it's called being an adult.
That said, there's a gracious way around this. Just volunteer to bring a few things that your husband likes and leave it at that. Maybe ma and pa will like it.
We're having TG dinner at my SIL's. Last year we said we had already ordered a turkey so our offer to bring this was accepted. This year she's made it clear that she want to do it all, despite not being in good health and the house remodelling going on. So we're going to go without anything and eat whatever she puts on the table. We fully expect that the food will not be good, but DH wants to be with his family so that's good enough.
Of course we will still do our own turkey, we'll just eat it at home!
Wow, all these posts agonizing over one precise day make me realize what a great idea my Early Thanksgiving is.
I love making a traditional Thanksgiving with all the trimmings, but my friends and I are all young singles and everyone goes home for Thanksgiving. SO and I do an early Thanksgiving so we can have a party with the friends before everyone goes home to family.
It works well in many ways: it's not ACTUALLY Thanksgiving, so there's no emotional attachment if I forget to make something or other (it's okay, mom will make it next week!). On the other hand, I do cover most of the traditional items so that if they go home for Thanksgiving and something's missing from the table, they think "Oh well, I just had pumpkin pie last week at Pei's" and it's not so bad. And for those whose familys don't do an American Thanksgiving, it may be the only turkey they see all year.
This is just a long way of saying: don't sweat the small stuff! It's just ONE meal. Have what you crave the next night if it means that much to you. Throw your own early Thanksgiving, or Late Thanksgiving. I hate the pressure that comes with holidays. I can't remember the last time a labelled holiday (Birthday, Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.) was more fun than a spontaneous "Hey, we're cooking Friday, come on down!"
There's just too much pressure and too much forced emotional attachment to one calendar day. If you place so much emphasis on one day, something's bound to go wrong and send you over the deep end.

Amazing the tidbits one can pick up on Chowhound. Pei, you are wise beyond your years. Your post is my new mantra.
I think bringing ONE dish = making a thoughtful contribution to the meal. But bringing multiple dishes is definitely rude and insulting. It is saying that you don't trust your host to provide an adequate meal. And the spirit of the one thing you bring should be contributing something your hosts might actually enjoy, not something you have to have. If it serves both purposes, then fine, but I wouldn't bring something like cranberry sauce if you know your mom won't like it, and you know she is providing her own version of it.
I think you made the right choice to bring only the cranberry sauce and the mushrooms.
Our dinner is a lot different. Since my parents are getting old (in their 80s) we are eating at my sister's house. Her only comment was, I'll host as long as I don't have to do all the cooking. So everyone (there will be 16 of us) is bringing something. It will be an interesting dinner if nobody wants to make the turkey. (that won't be a problem, since my sister did say she would make that) But we always make two types of cranberry sauce, I bring lots of wine, and my DW will probably make an apple slaw/health salad. One of my sisters is a great baker so we will let her do those things. But who knows what will be for dinner. All that is really important is that we get together and have a great time telling the various spouses and children stories about their spouses/parents when they were young. For some reason my son (who is 18) is still amazed that there is always something new to learn about his old man.
re: dinwiddie
That sounds a lot like our T-giving. My grandmother is 99. She lets us have T-giving and Christmas at her house, and that's about all. Food is divi-ed up amoung the children, grandchildren are allowed to bring food or not bring food as they choose (I'm talking about 40 year-old grandchildren here)
I can't even remember a time when it wasn't similar. I remember when MaMa used to make the biscuits and a pound cake...those were the last items to go before she became too frail. One aunt used to try to bring something new every year, but over time she learned that changes to the T-giving traditions would be (ever so politely) scorned.
As designated baker, I do get to bring something different every year, because no one likes pumpkin pie anyway.
Your question prompted mine and would love some opinions, please.
We are away from home for Thanksgiving and had planned to go to a friend's house for dinner. She knows I'm allergic to turkey and cinnamon and would have had some other smaller roast meat to accommodate and I would have brought a second dessert for everyone.
Now it turns out that she's not doing the dinner at her house, but we've been invited to go with them to another friend's home (Friends of theirs, not ours). To complicate things even more, I'm in the midst of some serious health issues which preclude my eating anything raw (fruits, vegetables, salads, whatever). I am not about to tell a hostess who is having my husband and me at the last minute that I cannot eat her main course, so will make something of my own to bring as an alternate, as well as a dessert for everyone. Oh - and they keep kosher, so we will have to bring paper plates and plastic utensils, as well, since I'm going to make a brisket (actually, tzimmis with potato knaidle, from The Joy of Cooking) which will not be prepared with kosher meat.
Question: should I bring the entire dish? (Wrapping it in silver foil, according to my friend, will keep it from 'contaminating' the rest of the meal or the oven, if it has to be reheated before dinner). Or should I just bring a portion for myself?
The dessert is baked pears - no dairy involved - so will not be a problem.
re: Deenso
I think in this instance I would just bring a portion for yourself.
re: Deenso
If it were up to me, I would ideally bring an entire dish, but something that everyone can eat (i.e., kosher). But if you can't bring something everyone can eat, I would just bring a portion for yourself. I definitely wouldn't put a big non-kosher dish on the table for all to share in a home that keeps kosher.
re: Deenso
Gosh, you know: to be honest, I'd skip the whole thing. But I'm an impatient agnostic introvert ;-)
re: spigot
Me too (would skip the whole thing). It kind of sounds like you are bringing a picnic to their home, although clearly you have good reasons to do so. If it's important to you to have the social/communal experience, can you join them for after-dinner drinks?
re: julesrules
Well, it's going to be a lot simpler than I thought. I just purchased a roast chicken plate from a kosher market/restaurant, which I will bring with me. It can be reheated or not (I don't mind cold chicken at all) and it can be served on their plates, since it's kosher.
I spoke with my host this afternoon and asked if I might bring a dessert. She asked me not to, so that's that.
Thanks, everyone, for your input. And Happy Thanksgiving!
re: Deenso
I'm sorry you're having such food issues! Just one thing though, I sincerely hope you've cleared your plan with the host directly (not just through your friend). Many kosher homes would be very unhappy with you bringing unkosher meat into the house. It may be much worse to her than you telling her you can't eat the main course, and she may prefer to make you somehting herself, like a simply prepared piece of chicken for example. Definitely give her a call!
re: Deenso
Are you hosts aware of your plans? If your hosts keep a stirctly kosher home no food that is unkosher (i.e. prepared by someone who does not keep kosher or from an unkosher kitchen or from an unkosher food.) Paper plates won't allow you to eat unkosher meat in their home and you won't be able to use the kitchen to heat the meat up (stove, microwave, oven, etc.)
If they are less observant, the pears might be acceptable but I really think unkosher meat is a poor choice. Please speak to them first. It could be a very unpleasant dinner for everyone otherwise.
re: Deenso
Regardless of the kosher issue, I would hesitate to bring an unexpected, unreqested dish to a dinner. Don't you think there will be some cooked vegetables available? potatoes, rice, beans, carrots, something? Bread? Dessert without cinnamon? I think the most polite thing would be to eat what you can and not say a thing. I know it's frustrating not to eat a big meal on Thanksgiving, but at least you won't get chubby like the rest of us ;-)
Put yourself in the hostess/host's place--how would YOU want a guest to handle special needs at YOUR table? I think a short frank discussion with the cook is all that's necessary.
Guest: "You know, Bob can't eat sugar--can I bring a blank casserole for him?"
Cook: "Of course! And I'll be sure to have an extra plate of blank for him, everybody likes blank!" etc.
You should never bring food to someone's dinner unless requested. There are allowances for family of course but four dishes is really quite a lot, especially when two of the dishes require heating in a likely-to-be-overtasked oven. Just call her and ask. You might also try to narrow down your list somewhat to two dishes, only one of which needs to be heated.
As a final word on the subject, may I direct readers to today's New York Time's article on Thanksgiving etiquette?
Items #2 and #16 specifically address the issues discussed here. And for those following the posts that have been pulled from this thread, the experts who compiled the list include Peggy Post, scion of the famous Post etiquette arbiters.
re: kiwi
My pleasure, Kiwi. I haven't made it yet, either. :-P Here ya go: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/346095
As I sit here on T morning thinking about the meal, my DW and I just discussed what will be served this afternoon during our away game.
Our thoughts are similar to Pei's above. It's just a meal.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for our health, our family and the good fortunes we all have. It is not about preparing 5-star dinners. There are 364 other days to worry about food. Today is for family and relaxation. Make a good res for saturday night. We have several.
Re invitations to Thanksgiving dinner that turned out weird, try this one: we once were asked to TD by an old friend who, it turns out, has the annual tradition of roasting a turkey but cooking nothing else at all. Doesn't want anything else. Just leaves the cooked turkey in the kitchen all day and anybody wanting some just goes in and pulls off a wing or a leg or something and gnaws on it. We have not celebrated Thanksgiving with this friend on any subsequent occasion.

UK / Denmark, 2006 (MIFF 2007, Euro Debuts)
Director: Andrea Arnold
"A white knuckle thriller." - Toronto Film FestivalThis psychological nail-biter follows Jackie, a surveillance camera officer who observes the streets of Glasgow on a matrix of television screens. One day, she recognises a man whose past collides traumatically with her own and she begins to follow him. As her observation intensifies, Jackie moves beyond the boundaries set by the cameras and ingratiates herself into his life. It's here that we're taken to a place where the observed and the observer bleed together. Moving us incrementally closer to her characters and their pasts, Arnold constructs her film using one quietly sustained note of tension. Red Road is writer-director Andrea Arnold's debut feature film after winning an Oscar in 2004 for best live action short, Wasp.

Hi all,
We are currently running XP on all of our PCs, using IE7, domained and connected to 2 servers running Server 2k3.
It has been reported to me that our teacher users are unable open e-mails within Hotmail.
After some investigation a teacher can log-in to hotmail, open their inbox and view the e-mails. However when clicking an e-mail, nothing happens, no loading screen, no status bar, no egg-timer cursor. This happens everytime without fail, the only way I have seen to get around it is by refreshing the page.
The strange thing is that when signing in with an administrator account there are no problems at all.
Does anybody have any ideas?

I am constantly taking food for gatherings and this Double Decker Expandable Potlucker works perfectly. I can take a casserole and a dessert in the same carrier. One hot and one cold. I just love it. Took it on a pontoon boat outing and filled one dish with veggies and dip and the other with cut up fruit. Everything stayed nice and cold the entire time. Over 4 hours...I recommend this product.
I like the potluck carrier......am not convinced it will carry two loaded potluck dishes. I will probably use it for the potluck dish on the bottom, spoons, etc. on the top.I recommend this product.

The collapsible potlucker fits our needs perfectly. We often carry hot and cold food items between our home and our daughters homes. We used to pack food items in available cardboard boxes but discovered cardboard to be less than ideal for this purpose.I recommend this product.

I had purchased the double decker box for myself and liked it so much i purchased the one with the party box in it for my son and his lady. I really want that party box for myself, and in time will purchase one for me but first will probably get the whole set for my grandson who lives and works in Va. This would be ideal for them when they drive back here to Albany NY,they can bring whatever they might want to snack on in it. love that party box though. All those deviled eggs I could make would go over big....Have been a fan of Rachael Ray since she used to be on channel 6 here in Albany NY with Dan DiNicola. It is like she is part of my family... many thanks SusanI recommend this product.

I really do love this double carrier, I am always going somewhere that we take food to, this has made my life easier. I do however use both as warm or both cold. Have not tried one hot and one cold yet, cold would be on bottom and hot on top when I do, which may be this week-end.I recommend this product.

Excellent Traveling Food Container
This is an excellent duo food travel container for both hot and cold foods at the same time. I have taken over to visit our daughter and son-in-law several times already and we just received our orange double decker from Food Network. It truly keeps food hot or cold whatever your choice is. I cannot imagine visiting without this wonderful travel container.I recommend this product.

I wish more colors were available because I would have prefered something besides orange, but this is an excellent product that I would purchase again. I used it within a day or two of it arriving and it worked very well for keeping the meal I was delivering hot. I would like to see a Round version of this product offered as well for carrying pies or a deep-dish pot-pie casserole.I recommend this product.

Microsoft guns for web sales biz in piracy crackdown
Microsoft reportedly has two more companies in its sight as the software giant's licensing crackdown focuses on China. Redmond said it is seeking compensation of at least at least 10 million yuan (£980,000) and a printed apology in the People's Daily from two Beijing-based e-commerce firms for installing pirated versions of its …
"Redmond had massively miscalculated "
Were they using excel?
Good luck with that...
I doubt even mighty Micro$oft can bring down the Great Wall with a trifling $1,000,000 lawsuit. Better off building an update that crashes non-registered versions. I'm sure the kids at Redmond are well trained in that art.
Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
So what's your point? The guy's was caught fair and square with ilegal software. That's him treating people poorly, in fairness. Or vicarious liability, whatever. Still, wonder whether he would've stayed with MS if he hadn't been caught with illegal copies. If so, it's not a win for Linux per se but rather someone throwing a tantrum after being named and shamed. Impressive that you've gone back four years just to put sarcasm in your title, but in the end a bit pointless I'd say. D+ (for the effort.)
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Your link is a story about someone who ripped off Microsoft using unlicenced copies, and then got really angry when caught. Open Source movement, if it's looking for champions, can choose from much better people than that.
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Also: Be very clear that one of the most damaging threats to FOSS is the rampant piracy of commercial software. Why use something new and free, if you can just rip off what you used to use for free? Ripping off software involves no learning of new skills, no help for the FOSS community and holds back development of FOSS.
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Maybe you should re-read the article, because it tells a different story
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
He had paid for a licence for X amount of Windows seats. He bought in new computers and installed additional WIndows OSs without giving up the old ones, exceeding the number of seats he had paid for. Now it wasn't very nice that he got raided and it's possible that this is due to mistakenly breaking the law rather than wilful (he tries to imply the former, but he would, wouldn't he, so we don't know). But basically, the link is a story about someone using MS sofware without properly paying for all his installs as I said. And I have read the story, thanks.
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Given that the auditors could 'tell' the software wasn't being used, I somehow doubt the license 'violation' was through using unlicensed versions of Windows.
What's far more likely is that a Department using (for instance) Visio passed their machine onto another department. Visio wasn't used by the new department, but was present on the hard-drive.
I think you've also missed the important point about why he was so pissed. Yes he should have managed his licenses better, but it reads slightly differently to how you seem to have perceived it. I don't think he took issue with being raided (though probably wasn't over the moon), more the fact that even after settling the BSA were plastering his company's name all over the place as an 'example'.
If you've ever had any dealings with the BSA, you'll know it's never pleasant. Even when you are 100% compliant it's an absolute nightmare. They begin with an assumption of guilt and proceed from there, not to mention their habit of pretending to be a Law Enforcement body.
All that said, Ball should have kept better track of his licenses. Doesn't change the fact he was treated very poorly though, and it's not the only company that that's happened to is it?
Re: Keep up the good work Microsoft:
Be careful here. Microsofts definition of Piracy is very very very woooly.
If I wipe and reinstall a PC with the OEM disk that came with it and the licence key on the machine, thats fine
If I wipe and reinstall the PC with an identical (and this is the key) dvd that didnt come with that machine (but is identical to the one that did) and use the licence key on the machine, thats piracy in Microsoft's Eyes and you will get done for it.
If I hand my desktop to one of my salesguys, it gets reinstalled with one of the generic Win7 disks kicking about, rather than the generic dvd it came with that has something soundling like 'Dull' stamped on it, then it gets setup for that person to use then without pirating anything I'm x1 licence out of compliance. I purchased enough licences, I have enough disks/recovery partitions and everything still ties up with the right keys but its now technically illegal.
For PC repair shops compliance is a total and utter nightmare...
Mr X's Hard disk is gone, he wasnt offered/didnt make revoery disks - Thats a new copy of windows please despite your key being intact
Mr X's Key is faded (look at the bottom of your laptop) and needs a re-install. Manufacturer blames MS but thats a new copy of windows needed to (unless its Tosh or Sony who play nice)
Mr X's PC just needs reinstalling but the media is scratched or missing - again, new copy needed
If you make licencing difficult to comply with and as impossible to understand as you can, you will find people that break the law. I feel sorry for the guy in that post the way I feel sorry for our gustomers when I tell them that the dead HD in their PC will also carry £65 M$ tax because the recovery partition got nuked.
@h4rm0ny, try reading it
Can you read it?
>>who ripped off Microsoft using unlicenced copies
"We pass our old computers down. The guys in engineering need a new PC, so they get one and we pass theirs on to somebody doing clerical work. Well, if you don't wipe the hard drive on that PC, that's a violation. Even if they can tell a piece of software isn't being used, it's still a violation if it's on that hard drive. "
This happens when some of their frea*ing licenses are NOT commodity. Unlike any other goods I can't resell bundled copy of Windows if I want to. Microsoft lives by its very own laws.
Nothing had changed since 2003.
why would you want to pirate microsoft software anyway
10 million yuan
Did anyone else see a Dr Evil/Austin Powers moment there?
its about time....
microsoft should just distribute the os for free for non commercial use...
the only problem in doing so would be that they would face all sorts of antitrust moaning....
Re: its about time....
You can already get a very large amount of their software for a hundred quid (ish) a year, for dev use. Have a look at technet, there are varying levels of subscription.
Re: its about time....
Oh look, a Microsoft software article, did you know you can subscribe to Technet?
It's getting as a bad as every article about browsers. You know at some point during the comment thread that someone is going to post "Opera has been doing this for years, Opera really is the best, Why was Opera not mentioned? Opera is my browser and I use it everyday. Opera tastes like yummy honey on crumpets..."
Lobby group the Business Software Alliance says 78 per cent of China's computers ran on counterfeit software in 2010
I always find it curious that they use the term 'counterfeit' in these situations. Let's be honest, the software is (generally) not fake is it? It may be unlicensed, hell it may even be full of malware but it's not like someone has sat down and created an OS that looks and works like Windows and then sold it as Windows is it?
A fake handbag is counterfeit. A Dodgy fiver is counterfeit, an unlicensed copy of Windows is real, but unlicensed.
Too pedantic perhaps, but it bugs the f*ck out of me almost as much as when they conflate copying software with murder, pillage and rape
"They are accused of installing dodgy versions of Microsoft Windows, Office"
Are there other kinds?
Re: Dodgy
Nuff said
Mr X
"Mr X's Hard disk is gone, he wasnt offered/didnt make revoery disks - Thats a new copy of windows please despite your key being intact
Mr X's Key is faded (look at the bottom of your laptop) and needs a re-install. Manufacturer blames MS but thats a new copy of windows needed to (unless its Tosh or Sony who play nice)
Mr X's PC just needs reinstalling but the media is scratched or missing - again, new copy needed"
Mr X should then re-order his OEM installations disks from the PC manufacturer. For about £40... and it's legal.
Licensing scams
What richard 7 said. When I worked at a university surplus, we had bosses wanting us to put Windows on things for sale. We did not, we pointed out it was illegal, and shipped them for a while with Ubuntu, blank the rest of the time.
a) Slipstreaming violates the license. This is only available as a valid option with a site license or enterprise license, these are the only kinds that don't demand installation with the *original* install media only. We also had too many different models to make slipstreaming practical anyway.
b) The site license is a real scam. The corporate or enterprise type licenses still require you to pay a second time per computer to get one with the license sticker on it, then technically the sticker is "used up" the moment you install your corporate/enterprise windows over the "stock" version. So, you can install whatever corporate version of Windows you've paid big bucks for, then later on decide to move this computer someplace else, use the Dell CD you paid for and license sticker you paid for, and you are STILL in violation because that sticker was considered invalidated the moment the corporate windows was installed on it.
c) We'd have a pile of old Dell XP CDs, but for instance it's illegal per license to use an XP SP3 CD on a Dell that originally shipped with an XP SP1 CD, which makes it rather impractical to ensure compliance.
Clearly these companies in the article were not even trying to follow the license. But, with all the unusual rules in Microsoft's licenses, if Microsoft wants to do you in for license violations, they *WILL* find a license violation, even if you think you have everything in order.
These Chinese companies really should switch to free and open source software, then in addition to having higher quality, more efficient, and more stable software, they will not have to worry about companies coming in and fining them.
But open-source software is communist!
Can't have any of that going on in new-economy China!

Blackhawks meet Red Wings with season hanging in the balance
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com April 9, 2011 9:58PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
It has come down to one point.
The Blackhawks' season started with the high expectations that come with being the reigning Stanley Cup champions. There was the banner raising, the rings, the return of their young and talented core and the arrival of some new players who would open some eyes.
But the Hawks' title defense turned out to be an arduous road from start to finish. There were bright moments, such as their eight-game winning streak, but also plenty of dark ones. Every game was a test. Nothing came easily.
In the end, some of it will be forgotten and possibly forgiven if the Hawks prevail — or gain at least a point — in their regular-season finale today against the Detroit Red Wings and advance to the postseason.
But if the Red Wings win in regulation and the Dallas Stars beat the Minnesota Wild in regulation or overtime later today to move past the Hawks because of tiebreakers, Game 82 will be the conclusion of an unpredictable and extremely disappointing season. The Hawks would follow the Carolina Hurricanes as the second team since the lockout to fail to make the playoffs after winning the Cup.
"All 81 games have put us where everything is at stake for [today's] game," coach Joel Quenneville said. "It's been a battle — a major battle for us. But we still put ourselves in position where we do have control. Let's get excited about it."
There isn't much left to say on the Hawks' part. It's simple: Win, and you're in; lose, and it might be a very long summer.
The Hawks have some of the best big-game players in the league. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith and others have a history of excelling in such situations.
But the Red Wings — despite being without injured Henrik Zetterberg — have similar players. And judging by some of the comments coming from their locker room after the Hawks' 4-2 victory Friday, the Red Wings sound like they're out to prove they're not the ones struggling down the stretch.
But the Red Wings won't have additional motivation. The San Jose Sharks' 3-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes cemented the Wings as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, with the Sharks second.
"We expect a dangerous team with a lot of incentive on their side, and there's incentive on our side," Quenneville said. "We're the only team that's playing all 82 with a huge purpose behind them. That's got to be our focus. We never had an easy one all year, so we don't expect one."
Quenneville said he could see the urgency in his players' faces before their victory Friday at Joe Louis Arena. The Hawks fully expect the Stars to defeat the Wild, but there's confidence in knowing their fate is in their hands.
"I know Dallas is going to win their game [today] — that's pretty much the bottom line," defenseman Brian Campbell said. "We have to take care of our business. We're lucky enough that we have it, [and] we've done enough work throughout the regular season to put ourselves in that situation."
For the last few weeks, every game has been a "must-win" or a "playoff game" for the Hawks, but their results were uninspiring — until Friday. They finally played like a hungry team that wants to be in the postseason.
"We've played a lot of big games this year, especially the last little stretch," goalie Corey Crawford said. "It's nothing new for us [today]. But it's a lot better to be deciding your own fate instead of worrying about someone else. I'm sure we'll have the best preparation we can. I don't think they're going to give us anything, either. I expect another hard game."

SUMNER COUNTY, Kan. -- Deputies in Sumner County are searching for a man in connection to an attempted kidnapping earlier this month.
The incident happened in the southern part of the county around 8:30 p.m. on Monday, August 11th.
The Sumner County Sheriff's Office said a 37-year-old woman was forced into a vehicle and later jumped from it to escape.
The man sought in connection to the case is 29-year-old Brandon Scott Hutchison. He is 6-foot-1 and weighs about 150 pounds. He's wanted for aggravated kidnapping, criminal threat, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Another woman assisted the victim and took her to get medical attention.
The victim tells KAKE News she is very thankful for the help from the bystander and wants to thank her. "It is very important that I find her because she is a witness to what happened and I want to thank her for possibly saving my life," she said. KAKE News is withholding the name of the victim for safety reasons.
Investigators are looking for whoever was driving a white pickup in the area at the time of the incident who may have seen what happened. They would also like to speak with a middle-age couple who saw the victim at a convenience store earlier that evening.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at (620) 326-8941.
