Holiday Film Guide 2004
A Feast of Festive Filmic Fun
By Devin D. O'Leary
The holidays are upon us like cats on a bed full of winter coats at a neighborhood Christmas party. That means crowded parking lots at the mall, incessant toy commercials and more big film releases than you could possibly keep track of.
So, to help you sort out this holiday's box office tangle, we're giving you a run-down of most of the major releases hitting theaters in the next couple of months. In addition to giving you the stars and the story lines, we're also handing out a handy-dandy metaphor linking each film with its most representative holiday food offering. Will your most anticipated film be a sweet dessert treat or a bitter pile of Brussels sprouts? Dig in and enjoy!
Nov. 12
After the Sunset
Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson
Plot: A pair of retired jewel thieves living in a tropical paradise are forced out of retirement by an old associate, an old enemy and a tempting bit of sparkle.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Mashed potatoes. Fluffy, not terribly nutritious. Enjoyable enough, but not the real reason everybody sat down at the table.
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
Stars: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant
Plot: Slapstick "singleton" Bridget Jones is back, stuck between reliable new boyfriend Colin Firth and super cute old crush Hugh Grant.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Candied yams with those little marshmallows on top. Sweet stuff, but a little bit goes a long way. You liked the first serving well enough, but do you really want seconds?
The Seed of Chucky
Stars: Meg Tilly, Redman, the voice of Brad Dourif.
Plot: Somebody in Hollywood is making a movie about the Chucky murders. Chucky and Tiffany's "son" shows up and brings the remote-controlled dolls to life, leading to lots of campy, self-referential slasher scenes.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Leftover Halloween candy. Is this stuff still floating around after last month? Why? The kids will probably brave the rock-hard nuggets for a hit of fleeting satisfaction, but most adults are smart enough to know the expiration date on this is long past.
Nov. 19
Being Julia
Stars: Annette Bening, Jeremy Irons
Plot: Based on W. Somerset Maughm's catty novel, this drama/comedy is set in the world of the London stage circa 1930. Scorned by her young lover, a stage diva plots an elaborate revenge.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Figgy pudding. Granted, most folks have no idea what a figgy pudding is, but there are a few Anglophiles out there who would kill for one of these imported treats around the holidays.
National Treasure
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, Sean Bean
Plot: A professional treasure hunter finds a treasure map on the Declaration of Independence (yeah, right) and goes on a quest to find a fortune in gold hidden by our founding fathers. ... Kinda like that episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer goes looking for Lincoln's gold, but with explosions.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Stuffing, really. It tastes good enough, but it's just there to pad out the real food. Nobody actually thinks they can make a meal out of this, except the guys in the stuffing-making industry.
Stars: Paul Giamatti, Thomas Hayden Church, Virginia Madsen, Sandra Oh.
Plot: A neurotic, recently divorced writer takes his soon-to-be-married pal out to California wine country for one last romp. There, they meet up with a couple interesting gals and examine their failed lives. Directed by Alexander Payne (Election, About Schmidt).
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: A fine California Sauvignon Blanc. Tasty, sophisticated. Not for the kids and maybe a bit refined for some folks' palates, but such a nice treat around the holidays.
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie
Stars: Voices of Tom Kenny, Alec Baldwin, Jeffrey Tambor
Plot: Nickelodeon's nutty cartoon hit about a dorky sponge and his developmentally disabled starfish neighbor comes to the big screen. Thankfully, it is neither computer animated nor live action.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Spongecake (of course) covered in bananas, whipped cream and nuts. Just try and keep the kids away. Parents may feel guilty, but they'll probably enjoy it too.
Nov. 24
Stars: Colin Ferrell, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Val Kilmer
Plot: Alexander the Great rides again thanks to hunky Irish actor Colin Ferrell and cranky American filmmaker Oliver Stone. Big cast, big sets, big budget.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: The giant fruit cornucopia centerpiece. Everybody agrees that it looks great. But are you really supposed to eat it? For all you know, that thing could be made of plastic.
Christmas with the Kranks
Stars: Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis
Plot: Much to the chagrin of their neighbors, a suburban couple decides to skip the Christmas cheer after their college-age daughter opts not to return for the holidays. When the daughter has a change of heart, though, mom and dad must race against time to bring the holidays home under the wire. Based on the book by John Grisham.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Green bean casserole. Everybody expects to find one of these among the holiday offerings. It's comfort food. But it really didn't take any effort. And, at the end of the evening, hardly anybody's actually touched it. As always, better in concept than in execution.
Finding Neverland
Stars: Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie
Plot: This imaginative biopic takes us into the mind of author J.M. Barrie, who gave us the kid lit classic Peter Pan.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: A holiday goose. A little more sophisticated than your average holiday meal, but a real flashback to holiday meals of yesteryear.
Stars: Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Peter Sarsgaard
Plot: This classy biopic explores the life of pioneering sexual researcher Alfred Kinsey.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: A warm shot of brandy around the fireplace. Not for the kids, but a must for the more refined adults in the room.
Dec. 3
Stars: Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen
Plot: Two complex romantic relationships go from passionate to heartbreaking when the man from one relationship meets the woman from the other. Mike Nichols (Silkwood, Working Girl, Angels in America) directs.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Herb-roasted baby vegetables. Kids will steer clear of this dish altogether. Adults will undoubtedly pick at it, ignoring the bits that they dislike and savoring the parts that they love. In the end it's good for you.
House of Flying Daggers
Stars: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi
Plot: The director of Chinese hit Hero returns with another sweeping historical romance lined with marital arts action. The action centers around two police deputies sent to arrest a dancer with possible ties to a revolutionary faction. Instead, they fall in love with her and concoct a plan to help her escape.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Roast duck. You probably weren't expecting this; but if your oven broke down or your turkey got eaten by the family dog, a dash down to the local Chinese restaurant could secure one of these exotic yet satisfying feature items.
Dec. 8
Blade: Trinity
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel
Plot: Bad-ass vampire hunter Blade is back to fight off a bloodsucker apocalypse with the help of a few other supernaturally endowed folks.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: That bowl of nuts on the coffee table. Sure, they're tasty, but they're not the reason you came to dinner. Fill up on empty calorie appetizers like that and you'll have no room for the main course.
Dec. 10
Beyond the Sea
Stars: Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, John Goodman
Plot: Spacey's latest attempt to not suck on screen is also his directing debut. Spacey takes on the role of pop culture icon Bobby Darin, who belted out a wide variety of hits, married teen queen Sandra Dee and died very young.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Glazed ham. Solid. Respectable. But a bit ... well, hammy.
Ocean's Twelve
Stars: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts
Plot: All the boys are back (plus one more) so that Danny Ocean and his gang can pull off a trifecta of robberies on European soil.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: All-you-can-eat Thanksgiving buffet at Furr's Cafeteria. This has got every one of your favorites. None of it's done quite as well as it probably could be. But you'll be so stuffed by the end, you won't even care.
Dec. 17
The Aviator
Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale.
Plot: Martin Scorsese helms this biopic about the early, high-flying days of industrialist Howard Hughes.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Roast Turkey. As good a main dish as you're likely to see this holiday season. Should appeal to the aesthetes as well as the everyday Joes.
Million Dollar Baby
Stars: Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank
Plot: Eastwood directs and stars in this sporting drama about a grizzled old boxing coach helping a young woman get her shot at pugilistic fame.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Smoked oysters. They are traditional, your grandfather loves 'em, but you won't find many young folks who will appreciate the offering.
The Sea Inside
Stars: Javier Bardem
Plot: Filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar (The Others, Abre los Ojos) goes for straight drama this time, telling the real-life story of a Spaniard who fought a 30-year campaign in favor of euthanasia and his own right to die.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Steamed chard. It's good for you, no doubt about it. But it's an awfully bitter thing to fill your plate with when there are so many other treats laid out on the table this time of year.
Stars: Adam Sandler, Téa Leoni, Paz Vega.
Plot: Writer/director James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets, Broadcast News, Terms of Endearment) spins this romantic comedy about a single mother who immigrates to America and goes to work for a crazy celebrity chef and his insecure wife.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Tamales. Mainstream America may not appreciate it enough; but, in the right part of the country, this is a surefire holiday hit. Some of the ingredients might look a little odd together, but just eat it all, it's probably delicious.
Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events
Stars: Jim Carrey, Jude Law, Meryl Streep
Plot: The ridiculously popular (and blackly comic) series of kid's books comes to life. Carrey plays a wicked count who adopts a trio of rich young orphans and attempts to bump them off in assorted nasty ways.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Hot cocoa. The kids are desperate to get their hands on it. Secretly, most of the adults like it too. A guaranteed hit.
Dec. 22
Flight of the Phoenix
Stars: Dennis Quaid, Sticky Fingaz, Giovanni Ribisi, Tyrese, Hugh Laurie
Plot: This action/adventure tale is a remake of the 1965 film (starring James Stewart, Sir Richard Attenborough and Ernest Bognine) about the survivors of a airplane crash who struggle to rebuild their plane and escape their deadly surroundings. I wonder if Sticky Fingaz is playing Sir Richard Attenborough's role.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Leftover turkey sandwiches. Everybody still likes them, they're filling, but the novelty's kind of worn off. Haven't we seen this dish before?
Hotel Rwanda
Stars: Don Cheadle, Nick Nolte, Joaquin Phoenix
Plot: In this Schindler's List-like war drama, Don Cheadle stars as true-life hero Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsis refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Who can think of food at a time like this? This is like one of those "empty bowls" TV commercials that reminds you about all the starving people in the world just as you're sitting down to dinner. It may not be what you want to hear over the holidays, but it could be a pretty important message nonetheless.
Meet the Fockers
Stars: Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand.
Plot: Having met his fiancée's stern parents, our hapless hero must now introduce them to his hippie-dippy parents. Wackiness ensues.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Pumpkin pie with whipped cream. It's secretly what everybody's waiting for. It's probably not all that healthy for you, and some people might not like it as much as they were hoping. Still, everybody's got to have a piece.
Phantom of the Opera
Stars: Gerard Butler, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver.
Plot: Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical romance about an opera-loving psycho killer finally comes to the big screen.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Coffee with Baily's Irish Cream. A nice treat for the adults. Sure, it's the same old coffee you've had a hundred times before, but toss a little liquor in it, and it's like a whole new ball game. It's probably sweet enough for the kids, but they really won't appreciate it enough to stick it through to the end.
A Very Long Engagement
Stars: Audrey Toutou, Gaspard Ulliel, Dominique Pinon
Plot: Director Jean-Pierre Juenet reunites with his Amelie star Audrey Tautou for this mysterious romantic drama about a woman on a quest to find her lost love, who disappeared in the trenches during World War I.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Fine French chocolates with Gran Marnier centers. You totally weren't expecting to see a treat like this show up on your table, but you could just kiss the person who brought it. Very good stuff, but probably an acquired taste if you grew up on Jell-O pudding pie.
Dec. 24
Bride & Prejudice
Stars: Aishwarya Rai, Martin Henderson, Naveen Andrews
Plot: Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice gets the full singing, dancing Bollywood treatment in this Indian import.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Curried tofu. You're not sure who brought this. Odds are nobody's gonna touch it. If you actually tasted it, you'd probably like it, but it sure does look out of place on the table.
Stars: Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Plot: Gwyneth Paltrow reprises her stage role in this family drama about a woman who comes to the aid of her dying father, a math professor who has lost his grip on reality.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Paté. Not a lot of people are adventurous enough to try it. But really is very good. For sophisticated tastes only.
An Unfinished Life
Stars: Jennifer Lopez, Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman
Plot: A down-on-her-luck woman, desperate to provide for her young daughter, moves in with her estranged father-in-law. Lots of weepy reconciliation and old-wound-healing ensues. From director Lasse Hallström (My Life as a Dog, What's Eating Gilbert Grape).
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Cranberry sauce. Most people will look at the main ingredient and reject it outright. But it really is an essential part of the holiday meal. A little sweet, a little bitter, but quite indispensable when mixed in with all the other holiday offerings. You probably have to be an adult to fully appreciate it.
Dec. 25
Fat Albert
Stars: Kenan Thompson, Omarion, Aaron Carter
Plot: Bill Cosby's classic streetwise cartoon comes to live-action life.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Jello salad. The kids will want some, just because it looks colorful and moves funny. The adults know better than to touch the stuff.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Stars: Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Anjelica Huston, Willem Dafoe.
Plot: From the team that brought us cult hits Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums comes this off-kilter comedy about a world-famous oceanographer who joins forces with his estranged (not to mention strange) family to get revenge on the mythical shark that killed his best friend.
Holiday Food Item This Film Most Resembles: Fruitcake. It's not for every taste. It looks pretty odd, but if you actually give it a try, it's pretty damn good stuff.

1970 to Today
The abstract imagery of artists such as Brian Blanchflower and Jeremy Kirwan-Ward is based on a response to the Western Australian landscape, with Blanchflower's painterly images conveying his consciousness of the energy of the universe and the spiritual resonance of objects. Karl Wiebke, on the other hand, investigated the very materials of paint in his abstract compositions. And Miriam Stannage, inspired by Minimalism and Conceptual art, developed a body of word paintings and photographs.
Other artists work in a range of media. Carol Rudyard creates video installations in which she expresses her fascination with art history, theories of seeing and music, and Rodney Glick conveys his distinctive, offbeat sense of humour in his sculptures.

I am currently using the above with good results.
Since Inteceptor is no longer available, I was thinking about going to Sentinel/Advantix. However, that doubles up on the flea protection and I am not so sure that is a safe thing to do. The reason I want to stick with Advantix is the tick protection and dogs not have to wear tick collars.
Would appreciate any vet advice.

Research moves closer to understanding the cause of multiple sclerosis A new study has made a major new discovery towards finding the cause of multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially paving the way for research to investigate new treatments. An international team involving the University of Exeter Medical School in the UK and the University of Alberta in Canada has discovered a new cellular mechanism— an underlying defect in brain cells — that may cause the disease, and a potential hallmark that may be a target for future treatment. The study was recently published in the journal Neuroinflammation and part funded by the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust. Professor Paul Eggleton, of the University of Exeter Medical School, said: "Multiple sclerosis can have a devastating impact on people's lives, affecting mobility, speech, mental ability and more. So far, all medicine can offer is treatment and therapy for the symptoms – as we do not yet know the precise causes, research has been limited. Our exciting new findings have uncovered a new avenue for researchers to explore. It is a critical step, and in time, we hope it might lead to effective new treatments for MS." Scientists have long suspected that mitochondria, the energy-creating "powerhouse" of the cell, plays a link in causing multiple sclerosis. The joint Exeter-Alberta research team was the first to combine clinical and laboratory experiments to explain how mitochondria becomes defective in people with MS. Using human brain tissue samples , they found that a protein called Rab32 is present in large quantities in the brains of people with MS, but is virtually absent in healthy brain cells. Where Rab32 is present, the team discovered that a part of the cell that stores calcium (endoplasmic reticulum or ER) gets too close to the mitochondria. The resulting miscommunication with the calcium supply triggers the mitochondria to misbehave, ultimately causing toxicity for brain cells people with MS. Researchers do not yet know what causes an unwelcome influx of Rab32 but they believe the defect could originate at the base of the ER organelle. The finding will enable scientists to search for effective treatments that target Rab32 and embark on determining whether there are other proteins that may pay a role in triggering MS.
Date for your diary 12th - 18th June 2017 The 11th annual National Carers Week will take place from June, 12th to 18th.

Campaign update Last year, MS Ireland joined forces with a group of 16 other NGOs calling on the Government to invest in home care services. In January, Minister for Older People Helen McEntee announced that there would be a consultation regarding setting up a new statutory home care scheme that would guarantee home care as a statutory right. MS Ireland has worked with the other organisations involved in the campaign to develop a discussion document outlining the areas we believe the consultation should look at. This discussion document has been submitted to the Minister for consideration.

In our 'MS & Money' series this week's blog is from Willeke Van Eeckhoutte. She looks at money, employment and early retirement. Having MS means that unpredictability is part of your life. Like Emma wrote in her first piece about MS and money, "Having MS can affect our ability to earn. Not earning can cause a financial crisis and a financial crisis can affect our peace of mind causing great stress and emotional wobbles." On my day of diagnosis, my neurologist at Beaumont Hospital, said, "From now on you should change your lifestyle, and work." At first, changing my lifestyle was not an option. I never realised, though, that on a physical level, my body had already decided for me. Stress and anxiety flood your mind, and immediately you think, "Will I have to give up my job, and if so, for how long?" Retiring from work isn't an easy question because you don't want to become a liability to your colleagues or yourself, so it brings a lot of 'What ifs…" and "I don't want to lose my…" In fact, it took me a good while trying to find a definitive answer to that question. At some stage, the level of fatigue, trigeminal neuralgia, and other symptoms became a hurdle too many, and even sitting down in front of a computer for an hour in the office had me crying of facial and eye pain. Again, my body had decided for me even though my mind didn't want to give up any freedom working had given me. Being on a disability allowance or invalidity pension teaches you how to be creative with money. Absolutely, you want to remain financially independent for as long as possible. There are many things to consider, i.e. will you be able to live on the level of income for example, which social welfare benefits you might avail of, can you still do some work or what is the outcome of your occupational doctor's exams, etc. The prospect of having to rely on a weekly social welfare income is daunting. So many things depend on that social welfare payment because life in Ireland is expensive, and money seems to fly out the front door faster than it is coming in. Bills and rent require rescheduling, and you need to learn to squeeze as much money out of what is left. You can sometimes swap Debenhams for Penney's or the weekly take away for a monthly one and instead lose weight with healthier food. Try and cut credit cards in two or phone a money advice line that can help you sort out outstanding bills, credit cards or bank loans. If you feel that giving up work is the only option left, do some research beforehand on the Citizens Information website where you can find a checklist for people with long-term illness or disabilities, be aware though that some benefits are means tested while others are not. If you need a hand filling in paperwork related to benefits, you can find a Citizen Information Centre here. Being retired has been the blessing my MS needed. I still have lots of trouble with fatigue despite using several treatment options and trigeminal neuralgia remains an ungentle reminder of my illness. What has been a blessing is that whenever I now feel I need to withdraw to rest because of stabbing facial pain or fatigue, I can do so without an employer telling me to go back to work. It sounds so simple, but it has changed life for the better. Financially, life is a challenge. For example, buying luxurious coats, shoes, and handbags, or buying an expensive new laptop or jetting off somewhere far, far away, now those things belong in the past. But, life is about adaptation. And as time goes on, you begin to realise that maybe you should have retired sooner. It didn't turn me into a wealthy, female version of Richard Branson, but it has given me another chance of starting over. Yes, with less money in the bank, but emotionally stronger and richer than I ever thought possible.

Very normal behavior, one thing that hasnt been mentioned, only throw a few retrieves at a time dont let the dog lose interest, always put the dog away wanting more.
Going through the same thing with my ten week old lab female. last night i put a six foot lead on her and threw the bumper less than 10 feet. I guided her back in and praised the hell out of her. she did three in a row. Today should even be better. Keep in touch and let us know your progress I would be interested on how she comes around!
Thanks EVERYONE! It's been great advise I'll keep you updated with the progress!
also I want to go to the HT tomorrow in Los Banos Ca but everywhere I look doesn't have a time, what time do those start usually! Mark I saw your from Tracy do you know?
Thanks again everyone
Monterey Bay HT will start about 8 am but the stakes will last most of the day. Enter through the LB main gate and there should be someone from club who can tell you which parking lot for each stake. Try to catch a little of each Junior, Senior and Master. Have fun, the weather will be great for a HT tomorrow 70-75!

Thanks Denise.. First one
just a pup take your time,everyone gets in to big of a hurry. me included
It sounds like you have a puppy being a puppy. They have the attention span of a gnat at that age. And please don't be dissuaded by posts that state "my 8 week old is retrieving 150 yard marks". That's either an extraordinary exception or hope.
There's plenty of time for the rigors and stresses of training. The early post-litter weeks are critical for bonding and socialization.
Besides, I like letting puppies be puppies, that's a precious and fleeting time to build confidence and allow a pup to grow - mentally and physically. That's not to say we have no rules. There certainly are. I do crate training assiduously - it's great for a lot of reasons. But at such an early age, I can't imagine that isolation in a crate is going to make a point about lack of focus that a 12 week old pup is going to comprehend.
Good luck, and more importantly, have fun - both of you.

Looks like you got the info for the hunt test.
Where are you located if you are going to Los Banos? Maybe we can get together and train.

Howard's 12 week old puppy observation is spot on!
Keep on doing what is working. birds birds birds............with a clip wing pigeon start small and gradually increase to a larger one as you see that the puppy can handle the size. then graduate to a small duck and so on.
And as Jesse said in an earlier post, "only throw a few retrieves at a time dont let the dog lose interest, always put the dog away wanting more."
Finally as Kim says "What the OP describes is totally normal and his pup will likely develop just fine with age & patience. Puppies do not have to be retrieving demons in all situations or else be considered a dud "
Have fun

"The Machine of Death", edited by Ryan North (et al.), is an anthology of original stories bound together by a central premise. A machine was invented that can tell how you are going to die. No dates, no details. Just a slip of paper with a few words spelling out your ultimate fate -- at once all-too specific and maddeningly vague.
From the humorous to the adventurous to the mind-bending to the touching, the writers explore what the world would be like if a blood test could determine your means of death.
But don't think for a moment this is a book entirely composed of stories about people meeting their ironic dooms. There is some of that, of course. But more than that, this is a genre-hopping collection of tales about people who have learned more about themselves then perhaps they should have, and how that knowledge affects their relationships, their perception of the world, and how they feel about themselves.
And don't forget the follow-up to "Machine of Death", entitled appropriately, "This is How You Die".

What's everyones Opinion and/or Experience when training a Male vs. Female dog? (as I've always had only Male Dogs in the past)
"I can already imagine some of the sarcastic responses !......" LOL
I believe its just a matter of personal preference and your goals for what you plan to do with the dog. Such as do you ever plan to breed and raise a litter? I think from a training standpoint females may mature a bit quicker. Other than that you will probably get a lot of other differing opinions here on this subject.
Some females in heat twice a year... Some males in heat all year long.

Depends on the dog. There are many stereotypes thrown about, and some apply a percentage of the time. But dogs are unaware of our preconceived ideas about how they'll train due to sex or breed or color. As D.L. Walters once said to me, "A good dog is a good dog".

I think it comes down to preference and if you like the breeding it shouldnt matter male or female, I like males because of there blockier and bigger head generally so it was a look thing for me more than anything.

After comparing multiple boys and girls siblings from the various litters. Boys have a tendency to be easier... they just are... they are more willing to please... more go with the flow and don't have the incessant need to test and challenge you. That said Females are harder probably because at least in my experience females are smarter (a different type of problem solving-manipulative intelligence)...seems females are more likely to be pin-point markers and females get things quicker...but females have tendency to believe they are smarter than you... and females like to test. Aside from the heat hormonal thing...there are many reasons why most performance people run males... It's harder to have a high performing female (just look at the stats)...you beat your head against the wall more with them... but for me it's more worth while, I like Females...although some days I can really appreciate a wanting to please male.
P.C. Clause all these are generalities, that people will howl are wrong, but it's what I've found to be true in my experience, so take it for what any advice typed up and published in micro-seconds is worth

Well, I tried suggesting that the git people take a look at Vesta, but it seems it's probably too late.
But I'm not bitter or anything.
Well, I tried suggesting that the git people take a look at Vesta, but it seems it's probably too late.
But I'm not bitter or anything.
When I read about git, I was really surprised by how similar it is to the Vesta repository.
Coming off BK, I would have expected Linus to go in a direction closer to Darcs or Codeville.
Of course as a developer working in the same space, it's frustrating to watch so much effort going into starting yet another new version control system. Even more so when it seems so close to what Vesta's been doing for almost a decade.
My Mac mini finally arrived last Thursday. What were the first things I did with it? Enable incoming ssh, install the development tools, and modify the code needed to get the Vesta repository mounting on Darwin. This only required minor changes over the FreeBSD version I wrote earlier. It's getting easier with each new OS.
Unfortunately, as I've long pledged to port to Solaris first, I may not make a lot of progress on the MacOS X port for a while.
Aside from being a lot of fun and exposing me to new work people are doing, CodeCon gave me the opportunity to have interesting conversations about Vesta and consider how it relates to other projects.
While listening to Walter Landry's presentation on ArX, I compiled a list of a few good things about Vesta which I haven't included in presentations about it before (some stolen directly from Walter's presentation as they apply to Vesta as well):
I talked with Ross Cohen (who works on Codeville) about merge algorithms. He told me stories of crazy repeated merge cases that he thought would never come up in practice, and then did. I asked him if he'd be offended if I ripped off his merge code for the pluggable merge architecture I've been designing, and he said he wouldn't. (I'm trying to avoid getting into the business of writing a new merge algorithm.)
I talked to Nick Mathewson and Roger Dingledine from the Free Haven project about securing Vesta. They suggested I write an RFC-style protocol spec if I want anyone with a security background to help. They also confirmed my concern that the mastership transfer protocol is the most problematic part, as it uses TCP connections in both directions between the peer repositories. To a lesser extent, replicating from a satellite repository back to a central one when checking in after a remote checkout has the same problem. If we could find a way to make these active connections passive, it would also help people behind firewalls.
Kevin Burton from rojo.com recommended including more information in the RSS feed of latest versions in the pub.vestasys.org repository. I've been having my feed generator trim the checkin comments, but he said the RSS client should do that. He also suggested including a diff in the feed.
Zooko and I talked briefly about merging. Specifically we talked about how
"smart" merge algorithms need more information than a common ancestor and two versions descended from it. They typically take into account more about the steps between the common ancestor and those two versions. I said that I thought it should be possible to use the trigger mechanism I've been working on to record the kind of extra information such algorithms would need. He contended that without spending time using and studying a system with smart merging, I won't know quite how to design to enable it. While I have read through the Darcs "theory of patches", I don't see myself having time to spend really getting a lot of experience with another system.
Andy Iverson (?) and I talked about Vesta's approach of storing complete copies of all versions. He brought up the example of how small a BitKeeper repository is with the entire Linux kernel history. I asked "Is having that entire history really interesting?" He contended that it is, bringing up the example of searching through the history to find when some feature/variable/function was introduced. This probably has to do with the fact that the design decision to store complete copies was made early in Vesta's design (in the late '80s), before open source really took off. Basically the argument was "disk is cheap, programmers aren't typing any faster." However, open source projects can scale to a much larger number of programmers making a much larger number of changes. The Vesta developers couldn't have predicted this effect when they made that design decision. We could do something to add compression of versions, but I'm wary of doing that for performance reasons, at least at the moment. One of Vesta's selling points is O(1) checkout/checkin/branch and access to existing versions, which we would lose with compression. Also, adding compression right now would put load on a central resource (the repository server). I have some ideas on splitting up the system in ways that would make it possible to distribute this load, but I don't expect to make progress on that in the immediate future. Lastly, the Linux kernel clearly has a higher number of contributors (and probably a higher rate of change) than most projects, so maybe this is only an issue in extreme cases. I should probably spend some time measuring the storage requirements for the history of different free software projects.
While at CodeCon, wmf told me about Electric Cloud.
I've been reading through their technology description, and I have to say it sounds like they've just re-implemented a small portion of Vesta. Their dependency detection mechanism sounds almost exactly like Vesta's (and for that matter ClearCase's). The only thing which sounds new to me is that they fire off many build pieces in parallel without knowing whether they're doing them in the right order. If it turns out that they did some build steps in the wrong order, they re-execute those portions. This approach sounds dumb to me. Why not just do it in the right order every time (which is what Vesta does)?
Even worse is that they call their tool "plug compatible with make". So they're working really hard trying to take an old, known broken model and beat it into something scalable without redesigning it at all. Great idea.
Now how to I tell the USPTO that I have prior art for their "patent-pending automatic conflict detection and correction technology"...
On my last day visitng Microsoft Research, I wore my O'Really "Writing Word Macro Viruses" t-shirt. I was highly amused, and nobody at MS seemed to notice.
I feel I should start this entry by saying: I am not making this up.
I've spent the last two days, and I will also spend tomorrow, having what I consider to be a unique and somewhat strange experience. I've been visiting Microsoft research. What's remarkable about this is that I was invited there by employees of Microsoft research to work with them on the free software project I work on. Yes, that's right, Microsoft invited me to visit them so that they could help improve a piece of free software.
But wait, it gets better. This piece of free software is, at least in its current form, UNIX only. (chroot plays a key role in the implementation, and AFAIK Windows has no analogous function.) In other words, Microsoft invited me to visit them so that they could help improve a piece of free software which doesn't even run on Windows.
Now don't worry, the world has not gone mad, there is a logical explanation. The software in question was developed as a research project at the (now defunct) Digital/Compaq Systems Research Center. Some of the original developers (including the team leader), now work at Microsoft research. So really they have just offered to spend a few days helping me understand and improve a few tricky parts of the implementation of something they built before they worked for Microsoft, which just happens to have become free software.
But still, when I actually think about what I've been doing the past two days, it seems rather improbable.
I'm flying from snowy Massachusetts to sunny California tomorrow. After working through the middle of the week, I'll be going to this year's CodeCon, which I'm looking forward to.
Before heading out, I decided to write the code needed to get the Vesta repository mounting on FreeBSD. Luckily, it was far easier than what I had to do for Solaris.
I saw a presentation on Pin yesterday. It's pretty neat.
I've been working on instrumenting multi-threaded server appliactions to do performance analysis for the project I work on, but it's a bit of a pain. It would be nice to be able to dynamically attach the instrumentation to a running server without rebuilding or restarting it. It looks like Pin would be able to do that, though its multi-threading support is still in beta.
Earlier this year at CodeCon 2004, it became evident to me that the lack of a source-only distribution for Vesta was a significant impediment to its acceptance. Though Vesta is free software, only binary kits have been available because Vesta is a build system that one uses instead of make, and is built using itself (which makes for a classic chicken-and-egg problem). We simply didn't have any other way to build it.
I decided at that time that it was important to put together make build instructions for Vesta. I would have liked to get it done six months ago, but as is the way of things, other work constrained me from having enough time to devote to it. However, there is finally a make-based source kit for Vesta available for download.

Where I stayed
Hotel Taurus
7 hours, two apples, a plate of risotto, one coffee, and premier of Footloose (new not old) on Bridgets iPad, we arrive in the enchanting city of Prague (or Praha if you want to be politically and geographically correct). We are immediately welcomed into the city with a 3 mile hike up hill to our hotel (with several breaks to play strip street poker--every street you cross, anew article of clothing is removed). Finally arriving at the hotel wearing on swimsuits (jokes, but the image is slightly entertaining), we settle down and then make fast moves to get something to eat since obviously the risotto couldn't survive for too long after the hike up mount everest. We finally got our indian-food fixin' which was long overdue, and also got a math lesson since the new currency is CZECH and lets just say trying to figure out how much 600 CZECH was and then attempting to tip them along those lines took us the same length of time as it took to stuff our faces with Naan (garlic naan to be exact--heaven)
We then head back to the hotel where I configure plans with Kayla (and the infamous character returns once again for the third time on our trip!). I meet up with her along with 15 other Bucknellians (overwhelming would be an understatement when I walked in to a herd of Bison in a Prague apartment, but it was still so comforting to see familiar faces in the Disneyland of Europe) and then do the Bar scene where I eventually end up sleeping in an extra bunk bed at Kayla's hostel, which was located a hop skip and jump away from the bar (luck was definitely on my side, and Bridgets since me barging in in the whee hours of the morning would of made the next day a little rough).. It was a great night that was defined by dance-off showcases and shaking every tail-feather I possessed as a one-woman-solo event.
April 3:
Another Europe walk of shame, except this time the scenery was a tad more enjoyable. I thought it was quite entertaining when as I was leaving, the manager of the Hostel that greeted me 4 hours prior to this second rendezvous at 7 am asked if I was going for a nice stroll (naturally assuming that I was a guest at his fine establishment) and I reply, "You could say that"
The tour was 4 hours long and taught me more about Prague than I probably know about San Fran, perhaps America (then again, we still our a nation in our teens compared to these elderly countries who have gone through more wars than we have versions of the iPhone). We were guided by a lovely Texan (their everywhere, I know) who visited the delightful Prague with her husband in 2009 and then on their flight home, they both looked at each other, realizing that there was no reason for them to be in America. So they packed their bag and moved to one of the cheapest countries in all of Europe that is picturesque and probably is showcased right next to the word "Heaven" in the dictionary. If only we all could have husbands that are web-designers so that moving to Prague would be as easy buying a plane ticket back.
For the second half of the day, we grab a vegetarian lunch (our bodies were in need of something green after our pork ankle days) and then tour the other half of Prague, over St
Eventually we start looking for dinner places and get unlucky at 4 different places (which were located at the four corners of the city so we walked our way into starvation) and then we finally walk our exasperated selves into a restaurant that met our only two qualifications at that point: accepted credit cards and served food that did not come from a can (we had five dollars to our name at that point, cash only would have stopped us after ordering drinks). After dinner, we then walk/waddle our way back to our hotel on the hill, and then attempt to stretch our five dollars, 100 CZECH at the local supermarket for tomorrows train ride. 1.5 L of water, three bars, 2 apples, and 2 fruit snacks that I threw in at the last minute so that we could get close to our goal only got us to 75 CZECH ($3.75 USD in case your curious about the conversion)… After this failure to spend $5 (a feat that could have been easily accomplished with a mentos stick and pack of gum at an American walmart), I knew exactly where I would live after I become a poor recent graduate with a $100 in my pocket. Prague is the dreamland for all the frugal souls out there, aka me myself and I.
But both Bridget and I agree that one day was not enough...perhaps a decade would have sufficed.

There are two types of discus tanks: clean where water is changed (50% or more) at least twice a week and all waste is removed daily; and then there is the breeder tank - where 100% water changes (or very close to it) are done every - single- day! That is way a breeding tank is bare and has no wood or fake plants.
Very hard to get them to breed unless you do that.
Your pH appears good (6.7). GH/KH is low: that is good for the fish but makes water changes a bit hard (pH can swing.)
If you are raising young, you MUST change 80% or more of the water every-single-day or the fish will never reach proper size. Food (both a quality pellet, frozen, and live brine shrimp) must be given five to six times a day for young, twice a day for adults. Temp should be on the high side (86 - 89 F) for young and 84 - 88 F for adults. These are the basics.

Football field, top: undated, bottom: 2006 (click thumbnails for larger image)
Prior to 1908, the patch of land, where Clemens Stadium now stands, was a cranberry marsh. In 1909, the first SJU football field, called the 'Natural Bowl' was completed. It was greatly praised as one of the most natural feeling football fields. However just a year later, football at SJU was abolished on the grounds that it promoted "unfriendliness towards other schools". 'The Bowl' stood vacant for ten years until 1920, when the Johnnies joined the MIAC.
For the next seventy plus years, the stadium was constantly in a state of renovation. In 1922, the enlargement of the field was completed which doubled its original size. Eleven years later, in 1933, concrete seats were added when the stadium went through one of its many renovations. In addition the cinder track encircling the field was added. In 1939, the stone entrance for the field was constructed and then in 1943 the press box and concession stands were added.
With the growing number of football fans, the stadium was again enlarged to seat 3,000 in 1957. Forty years later, the stadium went through its largest renovation - including a new press box, field-house, bathrooms and seating - and was renamed Clemens Stadium after Bill Clemens, who generously donated funds for the project. In 2009, the press box and bathrooms were renovated again and an elevator was added. Finally in 2010, after 102 years, lights were installed in the Stadium, allowing both day and night games to be held there if need be.

Was looking at Emmit's EE record this morning. Looks like Emmit was entered in 16 All age stakes before he was 9 months old. It even has him listed as getting a Jam in two All Age stakes when he was only 2 months old! Now that's impressive!
But seriously, his date of birth is January 21, 2008. He is listed in no less than 16 Open stakes between March of 2008 and October of 2008. And like I said, EE says he jammed in two of the Open stakes in March when he was 2 months old.
Weird. And like anything else, makes you wonder what other mistakes are out there.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
Despite all the gains we've made in Washington toward patent reform, the legal threat posed by patent trolls isn't going away. Trolls are still on the prowl, perhaps more so than ever before.
The patent troll model relies on small businesses and individuals not being able to afford going through a multi-million dollar lawsuit—nor, in many cases, being able to afford legal representation at all.
To the extent there's a poster child for patent abuse, it's MPHJ, the infamous "scanner troll." This week's revelations show us for the first time just how much damage the patent troll has caused. Hint: it's a lot.
MPHJ owns a handful of patents, which it claims covers the basic technology for scanning documents to email. You read that right—simply scanning documents to email.
Patent trolls are having a bad week. Today the New York Attorney General announced it had reached a settlement with MPHJ, the so-called scanner troll. That deal, not entirely unlike the one already in place in Minnesota, is great news for New Yorkers who have found themselves facing the notorious patent troll as well as anyone planning to do business in the Empire State. The settlement itself requires that the scanner troll actually investigate before it sends threatening demand letters and prohibits it from bothering businesses it has already contacted. Even better, the settlement allows those who've already taken a license from MPHJ to get a refund.
Last Friday the Supreme Court granted certiorari in three important cases. This means a busy spring for EFF as we will likely file amicus briefs in all of them.
As the year draws to a close, EFF is looking back at the major trends influencing digital rights in 2013 and discussing where we are in the fight for free expression, innovation, fair use, and privacy. Click here to read other blog posts in this series.

Long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and before the incursions of the Spanish explorers and conquistadores in the 15th and 16th centuries, the Americas were home for thousands of years to a variety of civilizations and empires. As the understanding of agriculture improved and larger populations could be supported, small settlements grew into vast urban centres ruled by an aristocracy that was looked toamong other thingsfor propitiation of the gods. These civilizations waxed and waned (producing calendars and a writing system as well as huge building complexes) according to a natural order until the Spanish conquest. The resultant colonization wrought many changes, notably an overlay of the Spanish language, now the official language of most countries lying south of the United States. But less obviously, it brought cross-fertilization, a unique blending of local cultures with that of remote Spain and later of Africa as well, a melding that resulted in a distinctively Latin American style that was apparent in everything from art, dance, music, and literature to leadership.
We invite you to explore the people, places, events, and traditions that have shapedand continue to shapethe vibrant Hispanic culture that thrives today in South, Central, and North America: people such as the gifted writer and Nobelist Octavio Paz, the talented dancer and choreographer Alicia Alonso, the celebrated liberator Simón Bolívar, the notorious dictator Augusto Pinochet, and the brilliant business leader Roberto Crispulo Goizueta; the various countries of Latin America; historical events such as the Mexican War (184648) and the Battle of Ayacucho (1824); and cultural celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo and the Day of the Dead.

There is now no power being generated in Holyrood, causing a widespread outage in Newfoundland and Labrador.
That's according to Minister of Municipal Affairs Steve Kent, who made a post to Twitter shortly before 10 p.m.
"No power being generated at Holyrood," he wrote. "Widespread outage."
Reports from Twitter shortly before 10 p.m. indicated there was a bright flash of light that briefly emanated from the Holyrood site prior to the outage.
Almost 30 minutes later, it said 100,000 customers had lost power.
As of 6 p.m. Sunday, there were reportedly 20,000 Newfoundland Power customers left without power. The outage started Saturday morning following a transformer fire at the Sunnyside terminal station.
Shortly before the latest outage, Newfoundland Power said on Twitter that there would be no more rotating outages Sunday night.
(Earlier story)
There are 20,000 Newfoundland Power customers still without power as of early Sunday evening.
That figure was down slightly from the 35,000 customers with no power as of noon Sunday.
More than half of the electric utility company's 257,000 customers were initial impacted by the outage when it started Saturday morning because of a fire at the Sunnyside terminal Station.
Newfoundland Power has since been reconnecting feeders to the electric grid. Work to restore power is expected to continue until at least Tuesday.
According to Newfoundland Power's website, those outages are restricted to the Avalon and Burin Peninsulas.
Rotating power outages were still in effect Sunday.
(Earlier story)
Substantial progress was made overnight Saturday restoring power to households impacted by a massive outage this weekend.
As of early Sunday morning, Newfoundland Power reported by Twitter that 25,000 customers were left without power on the island. That was down dramatically from the 140,000 powerless customers early Saturday evening.
Sixty-minute rotating outages commenced this morning. Newfoundland Power said this was necessary to help manage the electricity system. It also stressed the continued need to conserve energy.
Speaking with reporters yesterday, Newfoundland Power vice-president of engineering Gary Smith said crews from Prince Edward Island would arrive in Newfoundland on Sunday and begin work Monday to help replace blown fuses on power lines.
Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro held two media briefings on Saturday. No briefings were scheduled for Sunday morning.

Newfoundland Power expects work to sort out the aftermath of a massive power outage will go beyond this weekend and continue into Monday and possibly even Tuesday.
That was according to Newfoundland Power vice-president of engineering Gary Smith, who spoke during an early-evening news conference Saturday in St. John's.
Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro vice-president of engineering services John MacIssac said a second trip to the power grid took place that afternoon. Smith referred to that incident as a setback.
As of 6 p.m., approximately 140,000 Newfoundland Power customers did not have power, compared to 125,000 as of 1 p.m. When the first outage took place following a transformer fire at the Sunnyside terminal station, over 190,000 of the electric utility company's 257,000 customers had no power.
When asked if the fire was still burning, MacIssac would only say the situation was under control and isolated.
Smith said more people will continue to regain power overnight and into Sunday. The biggest issue for crews has been accessing areas where fuses need to be replaced as feeders get reconnected. Newfoundland Power staff are currently working on 16 hour shifts.
As home get reconnected, Smith said it is essential for energy consumers to conserve where possible, as so many homes getting reconnected at the same time creates a strain on the system that leads to blown fuse. Earlier in the day, he said that Newfoundland Power technicians expect to replace thousands of fuses.
Workers from Prince Edward Island are due to arrive on Monday. Smith said contractors are also expected to assist Newfoundland Power's efforts beginning that day.
Fire and Emergency Services director Dave McCormack said that while it was within the authority of the Municipal Affairs Minister to declare a state of emergency, taking such a measure has not been recommended. He said his agency has consulted with communities when asked and made note of some taking a proactive approach in setting up warming sites for residents living in cool conditions.

Officials with Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro say progress is being made in efforts to restore power to those impacted by a massive outage on Saturday, but some will have to wait longer than others.
Speaking with reporters Saturday afternoon, Hydro vice-president of engineering services John MacIsaac said the majority of Newfoundland Power customers impacted by the transformer fire at the Sunnyside terminal station should have power back within the next 24 hours.
Newfoundland Power vice-president of engineering Gary Smith said it would be premature to assume there will not be more work to do on Sunday.
The massive outage started shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday following a substantial winter storm. St. John's experienced the most snowfall at 38 centimetres, and many areas experienced strong winds exceeding 100 kilometres per hours.
Over 190,000 Newfoundland Power customers were initially impacted by the outage. The electric utility company serves 257,000 customers across the province. By 1 p.m., that figure was down to 125,000. The majority of those customers are located on the Avalon, Bonavista and Burin peninsulas.
MacIsaac said the fire was under control and that volunteer firefighters from Sunnyside were at the scene on standby. There were no injuries.
The transformer fire caused a loss of power to the grid. Newfoundland Power is now gradually reconnecting to the grid.
Smith said this process can take time because when every feeder is reconnected, it must deal with an immediate massive demand for energy with so many heaters and electric devices suddenly making use of power. This cause blown fuses.
Smith expects Newfoundland Power employees with have a replace thousands of fuses as a result. He said all available resources have been deployed, adding that the company has also reached out to contractors.
To help with the situation, he encourage people to anticipate the need to conserve energy before power is restored by turning down thermostats and switching off breakers that do not need to be used.
MacIsaac said Hydro had its resource ready to respond to any issues that could crop up due to the storm. He said this contributed to a quick response time with respect to the equipment failure in Sunnyside.
Fire and Emergency Services NL CEO Sean Dutton encouraged municipalities and local service districts to review their emergency plans in light of the power outage. He suggested they may consider opening warming centres to help residents cope with the cold. The agency had not received any requests for help as of mid-afternoon Saturday.
(Earlier story)
A transformer fire at Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro's Sunnyside terminal station has been linked to a widespread power outage impacting most of Newfoundland.
According to Hydro's official Twitter account, some customers have since had their power restored, but others will have to wait several hours for that to happen.
Hydro said the Holyrood generating plant tripped due to the loss of power to the grid and that it could take several hours to restart.
A spokeswoman for Newfoundland Power has told The Telegram by email that the outage is impacting approximately half of its customers — 125,000 in all.
(Earlier story)
Crews with Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro are now in Sunnyside attempting to determine why most of Newfoundland is without power Saturday morning.
According to the provincial Crown corporation's Twitter account, crews are investigating a "potential equipment issue" at the Sunnyside station.
Earlier Saturday, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro confirmed the outages were not related to rotating outages that have been ongoing for the last few days because of increased demand on the power supply. It said severe weather was the most probable cause of the outages.
The power outages stretch across Newfoundland from St. John's to Port aux Basques. It does not includes the Northern Peninsula.
(Earlier Story)
Those who were fed up with rotating power outages resulting from unseasonably high demand on the province's power supply have a new problem to deal with, as a massive unscheduled outage has left much of Newfoundland without power.
According to Newfoundland Power's website, the outage effects almost the entire island-portion of the province, excluding the Northern Peninsula, an area that Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro serves. No estimate has been provided for power restoration.
On its official Twitter account, the electric utility company initially reported outages on Bell Island resulting from a winter storm that dumped almost 40 centimetres of snow on the area. It said crews were being dispatched to Bell Island to investigate.
Shortly thereafter, the outage spread. Newfoundland Power's website reports outages on the Avalon, Burin and Bonavista peninsulas, the Clarenville area, Central Newfoundland, areas in the vicinity of Corner Brook and Deer Lake and those near Stephenville and Port aux Basques.
"Please be advised, current outages taking place across the island are resulting from severe weather, not because of rotating outages," said Newfoundland Power through its Twitter account.
Newfoundland was recently subjected to rotating outages because unseasonably cold temperatures was placing a strain on the island's power supply. NL Hydro was asking people with power to conserve energy as much as possible.
More information will be provided on this story as it becomes available.

Anybody who turns over a dozen patents royalty-free when used in conjunction with GPL software is a Master. Nice one, Raph.
Poor Brian took a tough hit in school. Hang in there: I completely flunked out once, gritted my teeth, and finally finished in 9 years. That's like 63 dog years or something. It was 7 years before the light at the end of the tunnel actually looked larger. I'm coining that the '7/9 ratio', as a lot of things seem like a plod until right at the end.
And yeah, I reinstalled the kde-corel-blah.deb and my box is back up like it used to be. I had to force the install. Now apt complains that the kde-corel package can't see my libapt-pkg2.5 version, because I upgraded apt (libapt-pkg2.7). I think maybe the kde-corel package is not being smart. Anyway, I can't use apt to do anything until I resolve this. I wish apt had a switch for 'forget this one thing and move on.' It doesn't help that Corel did their KDE as a single 20-some meg .deb. You think they could maybe break that one up into some littler pieces.
Another caveat for Corel users: You need to stick with the gpm_1.14-3 that comes with Corel for now. If you upgrade to gpm_1.17.8-16, the mouse doesn't work in X anymore.
Some good folks I respect think Corel isn't giving the Debian project a proper reach-around, but it's put together pretty well. Correction: It's got some very nice newbie features, and is slick on the front end. But doesn't hold up to being repointed at Debian too well. That distro may have a shot at some almighty market share. Not _the_ shot, mind you, just a shot. If they navigate the rought waters OK.
I got the long shot money on flek. You heard it here first today. : )

The making of bull kelp containers or water carriers is a tradition of the Aboriginal people of the Furneaux Islands group off the north east coast of Tasmania (including the main islands of Flinders and Cape Barren) and the west coast of mainland Tasmania.
Richardson is one of a small group of elder artists in Tasmania today maintaining Tasmanian Aboriginal cultural traditions through visual arts practice.
The container is fashioned by gathering strips of the fronds into a bulbous cup shape to hold water. The container is shaped with skewers made of tea tree. A carrying handle made of grass spun into bush string completes the form.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – The strategic advantage of having an open date may be offset when your opponent has one too, but there's no denying the benefit of extra preparation, Ole Miss players say.
Both the Rebels and the Arkansas Razorbacks had a extra week to prepare for their meeting on Saturday morning in Little Rock.
While much of last week's Ole Miss practice was focused on fundamentals and had the Rebels looking at themselves, they carved out a good bit of time to look at the Razorbacks too.
"When you're preparing for a team with just one week, the reps are real limited. You probably get 80-100 reps as opposed to having two weeks when you get 200 or 300 reps," sophomore defensive end C.J. Johnson said. "That extra time helps you prepare and understand the game plan more and go out and play faster on Saturday."
Linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche compared this week's game to the opener against Central Arkansas when the Rebels were able to spend more than one week getting ready.
"I felt like we really got prepared for that game, and we really knew exactly what they were doing," he said.
Home-run threats
While much attention is given to the Arkansas passing game with quarterback Tyler Wilson, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze says both of the Razorbacks' running backs are "home run" threats.
Davis was one of the top running backs in the SEC in 2010 but missed last year with an ankle injury.
Senior Dennis Johnson – who Freeze compared to Ole Miss tailback Jeff Scott – has been the more productive of the two backs.
With fewer opportunities, Johnson has averaged 5.9 yards per carry to 3.4 for Davis and has five rushing touchdowns to Davis' two.
Carries between the two were almost even two weeks ago in Arkansas' 49-7 win over Kentucky, Johnson with 12 carries and Davis with 13.
Running qBs
The Arkansas defense has at times been susceptible to running quarterbacks, but Freeze drew a distinction when talking about Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, an effective scrambler, and Louisiana-Monroe's Kolton Browning, who had many called runs in ULM's Week 2 upset of then-No. 8 Arkansas.
"I think Manziel is a whole different animal. I think everyone's going to struggle with him. He's like watching a video game from the sideline. And his were – I've watched that film quite closely – his were not designed quarterback runs," Freeze said.
Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace is the team's third-leading rusher with 225 yards and five touchdowns on 80 carries, most of them on called runs.

Exhibition showcases furniture designer, April 2-July 11
Posted March 25, 2004; 03:46 p.m.
The Princeton University Art Museum will give the public a rare opportunity to view a selection of Charlotte Perriand's mid-century furniture designs in an exhibition April 2 through July 11.
"Useful Forms: Furniture by Charlotte Perriand" focuses on the work of the French modernist designer who lived from 1903 to 1999. Although the subject of major exhibitions in both France and England, her work has received virtually no exposure in American museums and remains underrepresented in American museum collections. The Princeton exhibition will be only the second in the United States to focus on her work, and the first to concentrate exclusively on Perriand's designs created during the two decades following her employment in the studio of the architect Le Corbusier.
For more information on the exhibition and related events, visit the art museum Web site .

I do think that we need to move past a lot of this though. Nothing is being served by this and, in fact, I think something is being damaged. As I watch the proceedings here unfold, I can only recommend or request that the participants in the rather acrimonious discussions put down that acrimony. Let the things that have happened in the past fade away or this will forver rend the fabric of a thing I cherish; namely this website and its contributors. Instead of being a voice of the community, it will change to some other milieu. I don't want to see that happen.
Another one of my instructors told me a few times as I labored through graduate school in a field far removed from computers, "those who live in the past are condemned to repeat it". Don't let this be the word of the day when we all can move past it.
Thanks for reading this.

Diary? When I don't even keep one on my own we-page, let alone in RL, why should I keep one on somebody elses page? Humm. Oh, right. Maybe somebody will take pity and certify me... Ranking users! How crude. Anyway...
I've seen the future, and it looks just like the past. Sorry for the obligatory Millennium refrence; I'm getting tired of people telling they're still in the old one when I've already been enjoying it for a grand whooping eight hours or so. If you can call it enjoying.
As an aside, there's at least one thing the coming of the new millennium hasn't changed - that's the millennial zealots insisting only THEIR view of when the millennium really starts is the right one. They should all just admit it begins in 2001, ofcourse. No really! And that 2000 was the year to celebrate and worry about The Bug. Altough maybe it'd been better to actually save the celebrations worry-free into 2001. But round figures have always held strange fascination to the human mind.
As for me? For the last few days, I've been busily trying to optimize TINKER, a molecylar analysis library written in Fortran, for GCC/Linux. Considering I don't know Fortran, it's bit harder than you'd maybe expect. But neither does GCC appear to, as none of the available optimization options gives a positive improvement. This is one place where Open Source may have to still play catch-up; despite being considered rather obsolete, Fortran still plays a large part in many mathematical science projects. And Windows is beating GNU/Linux 2-1 on this game despite such science stuff being its home turf!

Souk festival will celebrate Middle Eastern culture, May 13
Posted May 2, 2007; 02:37 p.m.
Souk, an outdoor festival featuring Middle Eastern food, music and art, will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 13, at Scudder Plaza outside Robertson Hall.
The event, which takes its name from the Hebrew and Arabic word for market, aims to promote a greater understanding about the people and traditions of the Middle East.
The student-organized festival was started last year by five friends --- senior Sarah Karam, a Lebanese Maronite; junior Saed Shonnar, a Palestinian Muslim; and Jewish students sophomore Zvi Smith, sophomore Jacqui Rabkin and senior Benjy Gerut --- as a way to celebrate the similarities and differences between Middle Eastern cultures.
"We started Souk because we love the Middle East and we lamented the fact that in America we usually only hear about politics or war in the region," Smith said. "We wanted to show people a side of the Middle East they may never have experienced before, and give Middle Easterners from all backgrounds an opportunity to experience each other's cultures."
Nearly 2,000 people attended Souk last year and similar entertainment and attractions will be featured at this year's event. Israeli and Arab bands, a hookah café, a Persian tea shop, falafel stands, an Arabic calligrapher and a Turkish coffee shop will offer an array of Middle Eastern sights, sounds and tastes.
The event will feature performances by Israeli-Moroccan singer Smadar Levi accompanied by an Israeli band, the Arab band Yousef Shamoun, and a disc jockey who mixes traditional Jewish music and Middle Eastern songs. The Israeli and Arab bands will play individual sets and perform together starting at 1 p.m. Vendors, such as Yaday Zahav, Git-USA and Ayin HaShlishit, also will set up tables selling Middle Eastern food, clothing and jewelry.
The festival will be moved to Dillon Gymnasium if it rains.
Smith said he hopes the gathering will create connections between different groups on campus and in the community. He said the event has already fostered relationships between Muslim and Jewish student organizers.
"With its apolitical character, and unique blend of music, food art and wares, Souk is a groundbreaking event for Middle Eastern people to experience each other's cultures in one space," he said. "Souk is a truly collaborative event that offers a rare chance for understanding between many communities."
Souk is sponsored by the following student organizations: the Princeton Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Princeton Committee on Palestine, the Muslim Student Association, Salaam, the Friends of Lebanon and Salaam-Shalom. University co-sponsors include: the Center for Jewish Life, the Program in and Department of Near Eastern Studies and the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life. Community organizations co-sponsoring the event include: the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the United Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks Board of Rabbis and the Jewish Center of Princeton.
