A visit to a loved one's grave marks a turning point for the better in a character's life.
Seen It a Million Times, Needs More Examples, need indexing suggestions Usually, a visit to a loved one's grave is a somber, saddening experience. It's never a happy situation for someone you love to be on the other side. However, sometimes, a character has lived experiences that have helped him grow emotionally and reach a culmination in their lives, and visiting the loved one's grave is a moment of catharsis and closure to the character. Perhaps, the dead loved one was a source of much pain and the character has finally developed the strength to let go. Or maybe the character comes to pay his respects after a long journey of self-discovery, and assures the dead loved one that things are going well for him. Whatever the reason, the visit to the loved one's grave is not a sad moment, but one of quiet reflection and subdued triumph: the character doing the visit leaves the loved one's grave with his head held high, looking forward to a better day tomorrow. This is Graveside Closure. This is not simply a character visiting a loved one's grave during happy times, though. For this trope to apply, the visit has to be symbolic of a major moment of character development for the better, or the character's visit symbolizes the attainment of a goal. The visit to the loved one's grave is a metaphor for leaving behind sadness and moving forward with renewed purpose in life. Subtrope of Grave Marking Scene. Warning: Since this is a trope that deals with endings, and is to an extent a Death Trope, spoilers follow.

[YOUTUBE "imW392e6XR0"] Jimmy Kimmel brought back his fantastic Celebrities Read Mean Tweets About Themselves segment Wednesday night, with a shocking twist. This time, a surprising number of the mean Tweets were actually ... good?
Sure, there were the requisite amounts of unfathomable abuse – why does Andy Garcia, of all people, have haters? – and impenetrable obscenities (particularly the ones aimed at Matthew McConaughey). But other Tweets showed a heretofore-unobserved level of wit that made their targets suppress a chuckle. Even David Blaine thought that David Blaine joke was pretty solid!

Matt Damon more than made up for his decade of being bumped from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Declaring "I am in command of this ship," Damon not only hijacked the show Thursday night, but he brought along a little big-name help.
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Amy Adams, Sally Field, Robert De Niro, Don Cheadle, John Krasinski and Oprah Winfrey all played a part.
Andy Garcia sat in as sidekick. Sheryl Crow led the band.
And where was Kimmel? Oh, he was there, all right: gagged and tied on the back of the set, as Damon took over.

Andy Garcia is paying a hero's tribute to Redskins Pro-Bowl safety Sean Taylor, who died Tuesday after being shot inside his Florida home during an apparent break-in.
The actor's niece, Jackie Garcia, was with her football star boyfriend Monday night when they heard loud noises. She reportedly hid in the bedroom with their 18-month-old daughter, also named Jackie, while Taylor, 24, went to investigate.
"His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage," the Ocean's Thirteen star said in a statement to the Miami Herald. "His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind."

Life on the set can get lonely – but luckily for Jude Law, his fiancée, Sienna Miller, was able to make the trip to Baton Rouge to visit him while he films All the King's Men, with Sean Penn and James Gandolfini. Miller, with pooches Porgy and Bess in tow, hung out in Law's trailer and walked the dogs on the grounds of the state Capitol, where cast and crew are filming. (In fact, the production took over Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco's office; she is working out of the governor's mansion. Now that's southern hospitality.) Before Baton Rouge, the crew filmed in New Orleans, where Law made quite an impression at Maximo's restaurant with costar Penn, Penn's wife, Robin Wright Penn, and four other guests by leaving an especially generous tip. "He gave me extra money to take my daughter out with," the waiter tells us. Law and friends also left behind cartoon figures drawn on the paper table settings, which were later snatched by neighboring fans.

@Dr Mouse & AC
Dr Mouse: "Firstly, the reason I dont buy music is because what they produce today is MINDLESS PAP."
AC: "Wrong, MOST of what is produced, or agreeably, all of what THEY produce is..."
AC, you're bang on.
Dr Mouse, you're clearly listening to the wrong stations. You should check out Radio 6 and shows like Stuart Maconies Freakzone, or Tom Robinsons evening shows, or Craig Charles' funk show on a sat night. Radio 6 seems to be the last bastion of good tunes.
I still buy CD's because like AC I still play 'em in a decent CD player with a decent amp and speakers. I also grab certain albums via p2p either because I don't want to risk blowing 15-20 quid on something that might be a load of crap or it's no longer available but I'm more than happy to part with my cash to get the actual physical media.
Microsoft preempts Hyper-V release with virtualization vision
@colin: Even as a virtualised OS...
At the risk of sounding fanboyish....
I've been running Vista for a year now on a Dell Precision box (picked up from Europc for 300 quid) with a Pentium 2.8 HT processor, 2gb of memory, a sata 7200 100gb disk and an Nvidia 7900 GT gfx card (ok...that was an extra 100 quid off ebay). Hardly the cutting edge of todays dual core all singing and dancing fancy pants systems you can buy today. I've got office 2007 running, three visual studio 2008 sessions (largish multi project solutions), two SQL 2005 std instances running and umpteen other things on the go, the aero ui is slick and fast and I hardly feel 'crippled'.
How about qualifying your bandwagonesque bash-vista slashdot type rumours with some actual facts?
Reminiscing about amiga is all lovely and fine (I had a 500, loved it to bits) but lets face and be realistic it the UI/experience was a far cry from rich experience of XP/Vista/Gnome/KDE GUI's.
Peace and love though.
Fertility watchdogs approve first human-animal hybrids
I dunno Matty, I can see distinct advantages to being a human/dog hybrid, for example. You'd never be bored again - endless pleasures chewing/chasing sticks, running after cars combined with the ability to read and go to the pub etc. And imagine being able to lick your own balls.
Toshiba pitches HD DVD players as... DVD machines
@BD+ no thanks, I'll stick with SD a little while longer
I dunno what all the fuss and consternation is about the DRM on BluRay. Ultimately the HD consortium will do their level best to cripple HD-DVD with stronger DRM as time passes. And as that time passes by and if BluRay takes off as the leading content delivery platform then there will be more players out there (in pc's) such that attention will turn to breaking BluRay DRM.
Truth be told, the DRM infection on movie disks doesn't amount to much more than a hill of beans to me (i get more pissed off not being able to skip through the usual DO NOT STEAL crap at the front of a movie). As long as I look after my disks then I see no need to have a 'backup'. If the media 'degrades' after say 5-7 years of regular use then by the time it comes to replace (hopefully not) I'll find that same film on ebay or play or wherever for under a fiver (stuff does wear out just like hoovers and bits in your car).
Yeah DRM sucks, but ultimately its the price of a disk and whether the movie is any good that sways whether I'll buy or not.
ps: I'll get my coat and fire extinguisher.
@ why indeed/@HD worthwhile
Upscaling whilst good is still nowhere near as good as HD-DVD/BluRay player tied to a decent 1080p display.
I've got a PS3 and a Tosh EP-30 and whilst the upscaling kinda works, on a 40" panel you still see all sorts of artifacts. A movie that has been transferred to HD format and done well (even old/scratched film stock that has been cleaned up and processed properly) is still way better than any upscaled DVD. But of course it does all depend on the source material.
I'm well impressed by it all. 2001 for example really gets a new lease of life and looks so fresh on Bluray compared to my DVD copy.
But...unless you spend the readies for HD kit at both ends then you may as well not bother. My only gripe is the delay between DVD releases of films and the release of the HD version, as HD seems lag behind by about a month.
California to snatch control of citizens' air-con
Wasn't the 2000/2001 'energy crisis' blamed partly on Enron and other energy trading companies for telling power stations to shut down so the traders could hike the prices during peak demands? I seem to remember this from watching The Smartest Guys In The Room movie.
Samsung ML-1630 laser printer
RE: Another video review?
Agreed. Not all workplace PC's have sound cards believe it or not (try working for some banks). Also some of us like to print stuff out to read on the bus or train.
Also my ADSL at home is a poxy 512k (at the end of the line) which seems to be able to stream absolutely bugger all.
Or, at least provide a written transcript?
Sony exec confirms PS3 will get Blu-ray Profile 1.1 this month
@tim - PiP big deal
I own players for both formats and to be honest I really can't get that excited about PiP. I'd hardly call Blu-Ray an incomplete format just because Profile 1.0 doesn't support it. As far as I'm concerned I just want to watch the feature and that probably applies to 90% of folk.
As far as DRM restrictions are concerned, the sponsors for both formats will try to get away with as much DRM as is humanly possible so I'd hardly go choosing a format based on how much DRM is implemented.
Having now owned both a PS3 and now a Tosh EP30, for a while and watched films on both formats, in reality there isn't really any perceivable difference between the two formats for the majority of folks.
eBay glitch wipes out 11 year-old account without a trace
@Martin H Watson
I agree completely. Sellers should be made to leave feedback about how reliable/trustworthy a buyer you are (i.e. did you pay, that's the whole point about allowing sellers to leave feedback?) before they receive feedback from the buyer. It's a shit system and as a buyer you effectively become a feedback hostage every time.
It's a broken system and the quality of the data in the feedback scores is low/untrustworthy because of this.
BitTorrent site Demonoid.com downed by Canadian record industry

There was also a 70's new wave band called Payola$.
Blu-ray outsells HD DVD 2:1 in US
Comparing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray - apples/oranges
Unless you actually sit down and watch the same film on each media you can't really make authoratitive sounding assertions like 'oh I saw Bullet on BD and it quality was rubbish but The Matrix on HD-DVD was way better'. It all depends on the quality of the original prints or masters/audio tracks and how much time and effort is spent cleaning them up for HD transfer. Older films may not have been as well looked after in their cans (or whatever they get stored in). A good example is the reports of the Mission Impossible franchise. The MI-1 (11 year old film, pre-DVD) is reported as being not much better than watching on DVD , MI-2 (7 year old film, DVD era) not bad and MI-3 (HD era) rather good.
At the times these films were made they were filmed using the prevelant technology of the day.
Comparing watching Bullet on BD and then The Matrix on HD is as useful as comparing oranges with apples, you have to see the same film on both formats to make that judgement.
Personally I bought into the BD format because they're in Blockbuster and the PS3 is a pretty good player (and I wanted a new console) and excellent value for money to boot. The first BD film I watched was Pearl Harbour and it was pretty mind blowing in terms of visual and aural experience compared to DVD. And...unless you have a 1080p telly and a decent surround amp and speaker combo then how can anyone possibly begin to offer an subjective opinion about which standard is better than the other. All I can say is I'm pretty bloody amazed so far with BD. I'm sure HD-DVD is the same.
There's some comments around here and elsewhere about how the current media format, i.e. a round 5.25" disk is an obsolete format, and folk moaning about not being able to download HD content instead. Well sorry folks, there's still plenty of us in the UK stuck on 512k -> 1mb ADSL connections due to line or exchange limitations. Downloading a 30-50Gb HD movie to watch on a whim just isn't practical! I find nothing wrong with disks and provided you treat them nicely like vinyl or CD's and put them away after use then there's no reason they should get damaged. Jeez.
Just 2c from someone that actually does own the gear.
Palm offers free Treo 750 Windows Mobile 6 upgrade
One chance download
Just be careful. The site asks you to enter your device serial number then after accepting their license terms you are shown a page with a download link.
I started to download then realised my download manager wasn't started. I cancelled the download and went to try again, but this time with the download manager, and the site says -
"We are sorry! Our records indicate this device has already received its copy of this download. If you believe you are receiving this message in error, please contact Palm's customer support in your region.
For Support, click here"
How f*cking stupid is that. They might at least warn you in big red letters of this daft one-shot download.
I called support which was an utterly futile task and littered with all sorts of blind alley options to discourage you from getting to speak to an actual human. Support raised a trouble ticket and escalated, but my confidence in them actually doing anything about it is rather low given that the bod on the other end of the phone suggested I would have a better chance sending an email directly to their escalations email addy.
Kingston Comms loses BT connection
Wrong type of....
...leaves on the cables?
Free software campaigners stonewalled at BBC
"The BBC says its content partners will not allow it to distribute shows over the internet without Microsoft DRM."
So why don't these freeloaders go and picket the production companies instead. Hell, the damn i-thingy is only a beta.
DRM sucks, but the beeb are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Merchants remain angry over Protx outage
Barclays FUD
We don't use Protx but we were also told by our payment processor (SecPay - they're pretty good and solid and very crossplatform and dev friendly) that the deadline for 3D secure for Maestro cards was the end of June 2007. So after rushing around and implementing the change we find out that Barclays aren't actually finishing off their end until early 2008 - grrr.
Protx probably shoulda done better with their upgrade, but Barclays should've come clean about the 'actual' schedule they were running with.
BBC iPlayer launches, but with limited viewer reach
Don't moan at the beeb, moan at the content providers
Blimey, give the beeb a break. If you took the time to look at the credits at the end of lots of BBC content on yer telly, you'll find that it's come from outside production companies.
It's not the BBC that's forcing DRM down our necks but the content owners and the whole repeat fee thing that actors (rightly or wrong) demand for each rendering of their mugs on the box.
So go moan at Kudos who do Spooks for example.
As someone mentioned earlier, the BBC are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Personally I still think the license fee is still great value for money when you consider the rich variety of TV and Radio broadcasting the BBC do. Look at BBC 4 this week and can you imagine C4 or ITV or Sky commissioning programmes such as Absolute Zero or Atom. Three whole hours worth of excellent viewing and not a single bloody advert. Then go look around the amount of commercial free radio content that's archived on the BBC radio sites.
Quit yer moaning, go and protest at the independant production companies who are the real bad guys.
And to the folks who doth protest about paying a license fee and want to see the BBC funded by commercials, then go tune into Fox or CNN or Sky 1/2/3 and take a look at the sh*te being shovelled to the lowest common denominator, it's scary.
And one more thing, yeah ok the BBC have announced iPlayer, and yeah it's a beta, big deal. Hell after nearly 15 years, that Linux bollocks still feels like a rolling Beta.

UK Gov boots intelligent design back into 'religious' margins
It kinda took a while, actually...
"I do subscribe to the belief that the universe is too complex to have just happened, ..."
Not that I'm accusing you of being a theist or deist but this is one of the most common misrepresentations about how our (present - but let's leave that for another fun discussion) universe got here today. The whole 'just happened' thing is where people really don't have any concept of how much time the universe actually had to get to it's present state.
The universe didn't 'just happen', it took somewhere around 14 billion years which is a bloody long time and way too much for most of our million year old evolved monkey brains to comprehend. Even just two minutes of thinking about it gives me the Total Perspective Vortex willies.
Orange and Littlewoods breach Data Protection Act, says ICO

Funnily enough I quit IF on the 6th week when they finally pulled their finger out and went to work for a company that actually got stuff done.

CD WOW! vows to take £35m High Court defeat to Europe

Yet another reason why I've stopped buying CD's and TV series DVD's for that matter.

Sky goes dark for Virgin Media
One less pile of brain rotting crap to wait your life on
I have Sky unfortunately because there's no freeview or cable alternative and I like my news channels and BBC4.
Oddly though, not a single Sky offering is on my favourites filter because it's just brain rotting twaddle.
Good on Virgin taking on these tossers. I also find it galling that I have to pay Sky a small fortune to get Freesat just so I can get free to air channels but the b*stards still withhold More 4.
To add insult to injury, when Sky get their paws on all these so called hit TV series', the 20 minutes of ad padding makes them unbearable to watch (can't say E4 are much better). No wonder folk hit the torrents.
Sky have become an unhealthy monopoly and it's time this is scrutinised a bit more by Ofcom and the government. In fact the so called 'choice' that is we're supposed to have frankly doesn't exist if you live in areas without Freeview or cable, or if cable is available then often the choice to have a dish isn't there because of planning restrictions. Isn't it about time that satellite broadcast access is brought into line with that of telephony and the other utilities where we can actually choose who we want to buy channels from over a third party managed access media.

Regardless of the desired end state, it should be considered compulsory to manage validated EDM projects using a waterfall
systems development life cycle. EDM applications have many changing values — users and groups, roles, metadata values, folder
structures, and so forth. Likewise, many changes can occur in work flows and life cycles as projects move closer to implementation
(not necessarily because business analysis is bad, but because the combination of requirements, design approaches, and product
functionality cannot perfectly align).
The business sponsor and functional teams should understand that their functional requirements must be finalized and signed
prior to moving into design. The sponsor and functional teams should also go through the same finalization process prior to
moving from design and configuration to testing and other aspects of the overall plan. The alternative is massive change control
to validation documents, which often delays the project more than changes to true application functionality. The waterfall
methodology aligns the development life cycle with the project governance needs of validated EDM.
Project Planning Guideline 4 Complete one successful compliant document management solution to establish your organization's guidelines before trying to
run additional projects in parallel.
Project Planning Guideline 5 Mitigation of high validation costs start with understanding answers to at least three sets of questions:
1. Was your validation strategy written for data acquisition and management systems (as many have been for organizations starting
as research and development companies)? Does it provide some measure of flexibility for process facilitating systems?
2. Does your company have part of the infrastructure for your EDM solutions installed and validated (e.g., application servers,
database servers, server hardware, or document management software)?
3. Does your company's template for the validation master plan and the quality assurance group allow for frequently changing
values such as user lists and groups, attribute values, and service packs to be documented and managed via the administrator's
With timelines and rules of thumb for effort in mind, the number of people involved in compliance document review, the prescriptive
nature of the templates used for the validation documentation, and the number of review cycles are just a few of the primary
drivers for the amount of time required for validation. In worst-case scenarios, the 25 to 33 percent rule of thumb can turn
into 100% or more.
EDM Validation Guidelines
FDA's website defines "PQ" as "performance qualification," "process qualification," or "product qualification." Validation
strategies oriented for data-acquisition software often apply the "performance qualification" definition, which often translates
into problems for testing a process facilitating tool such as EDM.
In a data acquisition-orientated operation qualification (OQ), there are usually straightforward tests to prove that the software
is functioning out-of-the-box, as it should; there are often few changes to the real functionality of the application. In
this case, the performance qualification can focus on the repeated successful performance of: (1) configured business rules;
(2) extract-transfer-load procedures; (3) integration reliability with other systems; and (4) such things as fail-over and
back-up procedures.
In the case of compliant document management solutions, an application is much more like a manufacturing system: the application
is responsible for controlling and producing a document. The PQ definition of process qualification often fits better than
performance qualification.
Under this scenario, discrete functions of the EDM application are checked by the OQ scripts to ensure proper application
function: document import, document check-in and check-out, attribute input and validation, and more.

What's New In The Land Of Wayland?
It's been a few weeks since really mentioning the Wayland Display Server at Phoronix (the last time was in June when XWayland and xf86-video-wlshm were released). It's not because development of this next-generation Linux display server has stalled, but there's been some progress made and overall just the lower level of activity during the summer months.

Wayland Can Now Use Gallium3D Software Rendering
Besides the obvious requirements and demands of needing to design a display server that can fully replace the needs of the long-standing X Server, and making all the tool-kits and major software support running natively on Wayland, another inhibitor to Wayland's adoption has been its graphics driver requirements. In particular, Wayland requires kernel mode-setting, EGL (in place of a DRI2 requirement), in-kernel memory management (GEM), and 3D acceleration.

Another Benefit To Wayland: Its Screensaver
When Mark Shuttleworth announced last year that Ubuntu will eventually deploy Wayland instead of an X.Org Server with their new Unity Desktop, there were many mixed reactions. There were many Phoronix enthusiasts excited since this means replacing ancient X11 code with a brand new code-base designed around modern graphics technologies that takes advantage of KMS, OpenGL, etc. Others, however, were less excited since Wayland is still a work-in-progress. While Wayland has come a long way in recent months, it's still not as full-featured as an X.Org Server, but the features coming are beginning to trump the current capabilities of the X stack.

The Study of Language
|Course code EPHUMA311
|Units 20
|English Language & Foundation Studies Centre
Human society as it is today would not be possible without language. Institutions, relationships and human achievements all rely on the trait that is unique to humans - language. This course provides an introduction to the study of human language, known as linguistics.
Most of us are not aware of the enormous number of language choices we make every day and this course will give students insight into some of these choices. It investigates features that all languages have in common, how we construct what we speak and write every day, how children acquire language, how we communicate in society, how language differs from animal communication, how people convey meaning in language, Australian Aboriginal languages, how Australian English developed and what makes it different to other varieties of English, the sounds of language and how they are used, how language, culture and society are related, how words and languages are created, how gender plays a role in language, and how the brain is vital to language. Although the main language of study is English, examples from many other languages are given with the intention of providing an understanding of the features that all languages share.
The course also aims to engage students in a learning experience of language through various approaches catering for different learning styles. Students are encouraged to engage in objective analysis of various aspects of language, and they will be given the opportunity to develop skills necessary for undergraduate study through the embedded explicit teaching of academic literacies.
Available in 2015
|At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. accurately identify, utilise and demonstrate an understanding of linguistic terminology and concepts
2. evaluate basic theoretical aspects and relate those to applied aspects of linguistics
3. explain an awareness of interpersonal and social aspects of language
4. illustrate theory and concepts with original examples to show understanding
5. apply skills in relevant technology
6. use own research and academic writing skills in for tertiary study
|1. What all languages have in common
2. How we use language in society
3. Knowing and using language
4. The nature of language
5. How animal communication differs from human language
6. How we learn language
7. How language varies according to situation, region and social groups
8. How we put sentences together
9. How we express meaning with language
10. The sounds of language
11. The origins and development of Australian English
12. How we structure and create words
13. How languages are born
14. Australian Aboriginal languages
15. Gender differences in language use

Routing, it mostly worksPosted by Tom Morris on 6 November 2012 in English (English)
I've been contributing to OpenStreetMap for a while now, but I actually put OSM data to the test today.
A family member bought a new vehicle recently which has a built-in manufacturer-supplied GPS with proprietary mapping data on it. We decided to have a drive today to test it out. I brought along my Garmin eTrex 20 loaded up with OpenStreetMap-derived TalkyToaster maps. TalkyToaster's maps are routable and have a large number of points of interest.
We did a 35 mile drive down to Dungeness in Kent. While there, I did some site surveying in the freezing cold and have made a few updates to OSM.
The routing mostly worked. And the data was good. On the outward journey, I checked a lot of the side streets we passed by, and all those I checked had the correct name and There was only one problem I found with the data: there was a tiny little cul-de-sac I spotted that wasn't on the map. I added it as a waypoint on my Garmin and will add it to the map when I next transfer data off.
The routing had only one problem and that was on the return journey, while driving along Lower High Street, Wadhurst. Rather than continue on to the High Street, the Garmin device instead said that one should turn into Church Street. Church Street is a tiny single-width street that is only used for access and is tagged highway=residential. You wouldn't drive up it, especially in a larger vehicle like a van. It actually has a warning sign forbidding HGVs from entering. But the Garmin was quite insistent that one should drive up there. The manufacturer-installed GPS accurately stated to carry on along the High Street.
I shouldn't be surprised at how good OpenStreetMap data is (I've added plenty of it), but this slight routing mishap aside, certainly here in the south east of England, it is now pretty damn close to good enough that it can be used for in-car navigation. Having seen how much data upgrades are for some car GPS units (as much as £150 in some cases), the future really ought to belong to OpenStreetMap.
We've got open data, we've now got open source operating systems (Linux, Android), cheapish hardware, Kickstarter for funding: someone could build a completely open source satellite navigation system...

Transformation of Martin Luther King Elementary pitched during meeting
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - A plan for the transformation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School was presented during the Utica City School District Board of Education meeting Tuesday night.
The plan calls for several changes and strategies aimed at increasing the test performance of the students. Also, the plan calls for the use of a $4.5 million dollar grant to help fund some of the strategies.
Earlier this month, the district was forced to let the school's principal go because of the school's poor state test performance.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, former commander of the International Space Station and occasional orbital troubadour, has resigned from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), officially ending his 21-year career as an astronaut. "Chris Hadfield has inspired all Canadians, especially our next-generation of scientists and engineers …
he still needs to rehabilitate
Following many months in a sterile, airless, weightless vacuum with no atmosphere he will be moving to Ottowa/Toronto/Mississauga (delete as applicable)
Re: he still needs to rehabilitate
.."Ottawa/Toronto/Mississauga (delete as applicable)"
Re: he still needs to rehabilitate
Hmm... If he still wanted to stay in the US, he could always aim for Cicely, AK.
Re: he still needs to rehabilitate
Surely Benson, AZ?
Life on Earth
I suppose that Chris Hadfield is one of the few men that truly know what it means to live the "burden of life on earth".
He's got it
Just in time to compete in the X Factor
Wise move.
Well, 20 years of service and former ISS commander - his astronaut career was already at its peak.
I predict some very nice job offers from the various private space ventures. Perhaps he will be the first man sent to Mars, who knows...
I wish him good luck in his new endeavours.
Re: Wise move.
The first man on Mars was John Boone, don't we all know that?
Re: Wise move.
ITYM John Carter...
A Sarnia Homecoming is Due.
Those of us in Chris' hometown of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada are looking forward to his return and the monstrous welcome back party we will have for him. I promise to lift a pint of the black stuff just for the Reg when we do.:)
...we already renamed the airport here after him (several years ago) so when he flies into Chris Hadfield Airport he will know he is home.
Re: A Sarnia Homecoming is Due.
Never understood why it's such an honour to have a building that everybody hates so much named after you:
Before we can get to Disneyland kids we have to queue for 3hours at Chris Hadfield Airport
We were stuck for 6hours becuase of a delay at Chris Hadfield Airport
Snow at Chris Hadfield Airport has meant a 2nd night for travelers sleeping on the floor.

- hidden gem, should be more popularvalisjasonDined on 11/14/2014The food is great, and the prices are hard to beat. You can tell the chef knows what they are doing. The service is friendly and professional. The decor and menu may be in need of updating. But, don't let that fool you. Well worth the visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid cozy FrenchPmjcDined on 11/13/2014The salads, soups, meats and desserts are favorites. Try the 1/2 bottle of the Bordeaux as accompaniment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great... Everything!ConsulofRomeDined on 11/7/2014First, Alex is always on top of his game, even debating the subtle ingredients of the Risotto lobster sauce with my chef trained fiance'... After that, it's all uphill from there, with Chateau Neuf du Pape, and a chocolate desert thing... volcano?
- Excellent as last timedinegalDined on 11/6/2014My second dinner at bistro central parc. Lovely food, well done, good presentation, relaxed but watchful service. We had the rabbit, scallops, duck breast and duck confit, plus appetizers. Each of us would order every dish again, high praise. I might try sitting outside in the enclosed area next time. Acoustics are always an issue for me. We could talk, hold a conversation, but I love quiet.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood restaurantLocalVIPDined on 10/30/2014We have dined at Bistro Central Parc several times and never been disappointed. It is a warm place that is wonderful place to go for special occasions. Food is high quality and very well presented. Service is very attentive. Alex is a terrific server. He even remembered the wine we ordered from our previous dinner. Brought our daughter for her birthday. Both her boy friend and she enjoyed the evening. Definitely our favorite dining out place in SF.Special Features:
- A Grown-Up DelightGiordanoBrunoDined on 10/30/2014Quiet, simple sophistication. Classic country style French cooking, impeccably executed. Attentive, thoughtful service without intrusion (kudos, Denise and Alex). Gracious proprietor. Off the beaten path, with neighborhood charm. Thankfully free of annoying trendiness. This is a genuine, substantial, grown-up restaurant and a welcome contrast to much of the current wave of shallow faux sophistication. Open kitchen, sleek bar, compact but varied menu (our mussels marinere, escargots, hanger steak frites, and paella were all excellent). Added bonus: thoughtful and eclectic soundtrack (softly) in the background included Bowie's Lady Stardust. This place is the real thing, and they make it look effortless.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- my favoritealphadogDined on 10/29/2014This is my 3rd visit here and I expect to dine here many more times. fine dining in a casual setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average food, poor serviceJessicaWDined on 10/26/2014Average food (nothing special), rude service. Was running late and called to let them know I would be 5 minutes late. The guy on the phone said no problem. When I arrived, another guy at the front said "no, you don't have reservations." I explained that I just spoke with someone on the phone and he said "you must have spoke to the owner and that means nothing. He doesn't tell us anything". Then he again reiterated that i didnt have a reservation (and of course my OpenTable later said i arrived and got my points). When we were seated, we asked for recommendations and he wouldn't give us one. He said, "I'm not giving you a recommendation. Make a choice yourself". What?! Food was nothing special. There are other good brunch places.
- Great food great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/23/2014I highly recommend this restaurant. Food great, service greatI would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/18/2014Went for a casual anniversary dinner and "Loved It". There was a special salad dressed with bleu cheese and bacon brittle and chocolate tart dessert with bourbon ice cream to die for. Going back for brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ChoiceLamonteDined on 10/18/2014If you are interested in traditional French fare in a place with a hands-on owner, go here. The food is worth the traditional difficulty in finding street parking. Our family members have been going and enjoying ourselves for some time and don't mind if new people can also join the fun. Reservations are very important!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, edgy waitstaffLizardSpockDined on 10/15/2014All of the food was excellent, esp. the rack of lamb, which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Main waiter was edgy though and became bristly when we tried to have one person order for us (seemed confusing for him). Though he continued to smile afterwards, it took the shine off the night for us. Rest of waitstaff were lovely though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Quiet Oasis in Noisy SFAnonymousDined on 10/11/2014We really enjoyed the calm atmosphere at Bistro Central Parc. It was quiet by SF standards, relaxed, and a lovely place to go with someone you want to actually talk to. The food was good, though not a foodie destination. The onion soup should have been prepared with gruyere instead of the flavorless swiss that was melted on top. A little pricey for what it is, but we appreciated the genuineness of the place and we will return.Special Features:
- nice bistrostepheneatsDined on 10/3/2014Nice neighborhood restaurant. Good food and wines and friendly helpful staff. Only negative was the slow service, staff were clearly over stretched. My friends said the steak was very good. My chicken was good. My wife had bouillabaise and said it was ok. Sweetbreads and mushroom risotto appetizers were very good. Waiter brought wrong soup but replaced it promptly with an apology. Not a smooth operation but their heart is in the right place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- "Delish"DeniseVIPDined on 9/19/2014We had great wine - they had my favorite salad (Frisée with Lardons and poached egg ) I have not seen on a menu since Paris - We enjoyed Rabbit, duck and Salmon - all prepared with lovely fresh vegetables, high in flavor - it was my birthday so they treated me with desert and an unexpected gift of a coffee mug -Service was great, Really enjoyed our time -Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/7/2014The most cooperative in arranging the meal to fit my medical needs. It was the first time I had such a cooperative wait staff and kitchen staff. All this cooperativeness with a smile on their faces. We will go again and bring friends.Special Features:
- Delicious French bistroklouisebDined on 9/3/2014This was my third visit to the restaurant, and every time it just gets better! I went with my husband and his mom, and we had a fantastic meal. The service is excellent, very friendly, a little French, and they really want you to have a good meal. Our waiter recommended a wonderful Rhone wine (Lirac). The food was delicious - apps we had the cauliflower soup, heirloom tomato salad, and mushroom risotto. For mains, I had the filet mignon in a green peppercorn sauce (yum) while the others both had the skirt steak special. For dessert, I had profiteroles while the others had the chocolate volcano cake. We had a wonderful time - highly recommend for a special meal, or if you're in the neighborhood!Special Features:
- ElynelunDined on 8/30/2014This restaurant is truly a gem It is a delightful neighborhood spot with absoluly delicious food, friendly to all,great ambiance and not too loud. Service is fine too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodieVIPDined on 8/30/2014Usually a 5 star as we have dined there many times before. My dinners was 5 star good and my wife's was 2 star, fish was greasy . We will try again in a few months. Because it is usually a wonderful restaurant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Perfect French BistrocomedydinerDined on 8/3/2014Bistro Central Parc is the perfect neighborhood French Bistro. The staff is always extremely charming. The food is divine. Classic French cuisine with amazing sauces. And the prices are quite reasonable.Special Features:
- Marvelous food and serviceDoctorEDined on 8/3/2014The food and service were remarkable. Unfortunately, we picked the one night per month with live music. The music was so loud, that we couldn't even converse. Fortunately the staff were able, and did move us to anther table at the other end of the restaurant. While it was still a bit noisy, we were able to enjoy our food and our comany.Special Features:
- The following 428 reviews are from the Bistro Central Parc - SF reviews archive.
- Great new neighborhood find!SFgalDined on 7/26/2014I really enjoyed this restaurant. It's pretty reasonably priced, and the food was really good. Nice, quiet atmosphere. Intimate and calming.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent French BistroHleighVIPDined on 7/26/2014Excellent food, excellent service. Beet salad was superb, as was the ris de veau, which came with a wonderful wine reduction sauce on the side. The mussels were somewhat small. The beef cheek was outstanding - flavorful and tender. The bouillabaisse was fresh and delicate. Had a bottle of very pleasant pouilly fuisse at a reasonable price. Overall, very satisfactory!Special Features:
- Delightful dinner at BCPAnOpenTableUserDined on 7/24/2014Our party of 4 had a lovely, unrushed birthday celebration dinner at BCP. The staff was welcoming, and the ambience is unpretentious but comfortable -- the term "neighborhood gem" is very apt. We elected to eat indoors, but there is also a pleasant outdoor seating area at the side of the restaurant that can be heated and protected from wind or other elements by a transparent roll-down screen. The food was excellent; some of us had steak frites, and some had mahi mahi, and we shared several appetizers and desserts. Our waiter was both professional and personable, and added to our experience. And even as the restaurant got busier (we had a 6pm reservation), we could still easily hear each other and converse at a normal level. A real find!Special Features:
- Even Getting Better!ViewFinderVIPDined on 7/18/2014Our dinner on July 18, 2014 was EXCELLENT! The four of us ordered appetizers and four different entrees. Every dish was delicious. The Bistro continues to get better and better! And the staff is knowledgeable and fun. We WILL be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/13/2014We had a great birthday dinner and the stuff was nice that they sang the birthday song for the birthday girl. We will come back for brunch next time!Special Features:
- Great findNapaDaveDined on 7/13/2014A petite coin de France imported into SF. Obviously a popular place for the neighborhood, everyone knows everyone. We reserved on a Sunday, were promptly seated (a little tight). Delicious Kir, nice Chinon with escargots (6), perfectly cooked trout amandine (serving almost too big) over perfect crunchy green beans and roasted new potatoes, and a confit de canard (also a healthy serving over delicious lentils). Ended with a creme brulee (perfect). Jerome (from Alsace) served us perfectly, no hovering, no rush to turn the tables.Special Features:
- Excellent DiningNWTravelerDined on 6/22/2014If you want an excellent French dining experience, this is the place. Staff, food, service -- all at their best. Dishes are creative, well balanced with fabulous flavors and aesthetics.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, overbearing waiterLizardSpockDined on 6/6/2014Impeccable, truly tasty bistro fare almost ruined by impatient waiter who tried to pressure us throughout dinner to order when we were clearly not ready. I understand wanting to clear tables but you have to give us more than 1-3 minutes to order! Especially when you are in a group for a special occasion! Lovely, gregarious owner who made it all better with his infectious joie de vivre.Special Features:
- FoodieVIPDined on 5/31/2014Excelling swordfish and chicken. We will return. Great everything...nice warm people who serve,greet , clean up. Food second to none in SF. Well prepared, well presented ,tasty.Special Features:
- Delicious and healthy French C..MaryKDined on 5/25/2014I stumbled into this little gem of a place by accident as I was just walking around the neighborhood. The owner always takes time to go around and mingle with his customers and if you are a regular, of course it only adds to the cozy and familiar feel. Food portions are perfect and the service is always friendly and relaxed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still solid after a few yearsoldtdevilDined on 5/23/2014We've been coming here since they opened, but it's been a year and half because we had a baby. Now that we have a toddler, we decided to go back for the 5:30 dinner. They had a high chair and made it easy to accommodate our daughter. The food - tartare, charcuterie and petit filets were all perfect. Possibly the best charcuterie plate I've had. The stand-out was a rabbit rillette made in house. And the Cab Franc went perfect with everything. We finished with profiteroles and a dessert wine. A perfect meal. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful birthday!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014Last Saturday I celebrated my birthday there with my fiance and it was amazing. We had the duck salad which was a special and it was seasoned perfectly and tasted so good we wanted to order another plate. Also, the steak tartar was perfectly un-done in a great way with toasts and dijon vinaigrette dressed greens. The steak frites was great but the rack of lamb took the cake. It was delicious! They also sang me happy birthday which I was not expecting. The service didn't miss a beat and the owner was very kind. They called us a cab and walked us out. We will be back soon with all of our friends and family.. Thank you so much Bistro Central Parc!Special Features:
- Like dining in FranceNOPAchickDined on 5/11/2014The food (duck confit salad and halibut encrusted with pistachios) was delicious and very much in the French style. The service was pleasant and efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Neighborhood SpotzerodeDined on 5/11/2014Bistro Central Parc is WAY off the better track - on an otherwise completely residential corner - but that has helped, I think, to solidify its popularity with locals. The owner is a local himself, often to be seen in the morning at Central Coffee, a block away, and he remembers his regulars and greets them warmly. This is our go to spot for special occasions in the area.Special Features:

Great food, good wine list, excellent service and a charming ambiance. We highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A delightful findiamfinickyVIPDined on 5/7/2014We happened across this neighborhood restaurant while on a trip to SF. The host was a true Frenchman, the food was French in preparation and taste, and the wines were reasonable. What more could you ask for? My husband had the warm spinach salad and paella and I had the wild mushroom risotto and the profiteroles. They easily accommodated my garlic allergy which was an added bonus. We will gladly return if we're in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Man jailed for threatening people with knives on Carlisle streets
Last updated at 11:47, Wednesday, 21 March 2012
A man has been jailed for 18 months after twice being seen threatening people with knives on the streets of Carlisle.
David Sowerby Proud, 23, first waved two knives at a total stranger called Richard Bowles, whom he had mistaken for a man he thought had had a relationship with his wife.
Mr Bowles, who had been on his way to a charity shop, retreated to his car and averted any further trouble.
But, prosecuting counsel Jennifer Blewitt told Carlisle Crown Court, the next day Proud was causing trouble again, this time on Dalston Road.
Two men saw him arguing with his wife, who was backing away from him, apparently "scared out of her wits", Ms Blewitt said.
When he thought they were about to intervene he pulled out two knives, the court heard. The next day, after talking to Proud's wife, the police searched his car and found a metal bar, a machete and half a snooker cue in the boot.
They also found worrying text messages on his mobile, in which he seemed to be threatening to "slash" people, Ms Blewitt said.
Proud, who used to live in Brampton but now has no fixed address, pleaded guilty to affray and three charges of carrying knives in public and having an offensive weapon.
Defence advocate Chris Toms said Proud had been using cocaine since he was 12, and on the day of the incidents had also taken valium and alcohol – making "a very dangerous combination indeed".
He said that even Proud – who was labelled as a "high risk" of harm to the public - was worried by his behaviour.
Jailing Proud for a total of 18 months, Judge Peter Hughes QC said he could have killed someone.
"One only needs to pause and think what could so easily have happened in a confrontation between an innocent bystander and a young man so heavily under the influence of illegal substances," he said.
"It could so easily have been a lethal cocktail."
