Using the Backup/Restore option in OpenCart
Written by John-Paul Briones

OpenCart has an option available to easily perform Backups and Restorations of your OpenCart database in the Dashboard. We recommend maintaining your own regular backups, so you can recover your website in case of emergencies. In this guide we will walk you through the backup and restore process in OpenCart 1.5.
Perform a Backup:
- Login to the the OpenCart Dashboard.
- Roll your mouse over System, and click Backup/Restore.
- Select the tables that you want to backup, you have the option to Select All.
- Click the Backup button.
You will then be prompted to download the backup in a .sql format, this will differ depending on your browser. In my tests, I am using Chrome and downloads are listed on the bottom of the screen:
- Save this file for emergency recovery, I recommend using an external hard drive, or CD/DVD.
Perform a Restoration:
- Login to the OpenCart Dashboard.
- Roll your mouse over System, and click Backup/Restore.
- In the Restore Backup section, click Choose File, and select your backup.
- Click the Restore button, and it will restore your database. The time frame will differ, since large files will take longer. You will then see a message stating "Success: You have successfully imported your database!"
Congratulations, now you know how to perform a Backup and Restoration from the OpenCart 1.5 Dashboard!

'Hitman' gamertag for sale on eBay for hundreds of dollars
Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 12:31pm
In case you don't like your gamertag on Xbox Live, check eBay for your chance to be known as "hitman".
This auction is for the Xbox Live Gamertag, Hitman. That is H-i-t-m-a-n. No hidden letters or numbers. Don't bid on this item if you don't want to be the center of attention of every game lobby you're in. You'll regularly hear comments of "You're the original Hitman?" and "Wow, how did you get that gamertag?!"As of this posting, the current bid is $203.50.
I wonder how much I can get for "tomchick". Although given the comments I regularly hear on Xbox Live about my gamertag, I'd probably have to pay someone to take it.
(Thanks Blues News and c|net!)

Divided Government and Budget Conflict in the U.S. States
Legislative Studies Quarterly XXIII:5-22
Much of the recent literature on the topic of divided government has concentrated on explanations for its occurrence at the national and state levels. In this article I use agency data from twenty states to assess the effects of divided government on budgetary conflict between governors and legislatures. After controlling for state party system characteristics and gubernatorial power, I found that divided government indeed contributes to conflict, but only when the legislative chambers are united against the governor. If split partisan control of the legislature exists, the governor's position with respect to agency spending levels is supported.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports:
Diaz-Balart emerging as a top choice for the SenateEmerging from the weekend, a new name seems to be gaining buzz as a top contender to take over for Sen. Mel Martinez.
On Friday, Gov. Charlie Crist specifically identified U.S. Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart as one of the people on his short list to fill Martinez's final 15 months in the U.S. Senate.
I would have thought that Diaz-Balart would never give up his House career for a short term placeholder gig in the Senate. However, reportedly, he's considering it:
"To my surprise, Lincoln is seriously considering filling out the questionnaire and putting his name in the hat," said lobbyist/fundraiser Ana Navarro. "It's a historical opportunity where he feels he can make a difference. He is willing to lose his House seat in order to serve the state of Florida in the Senate."
But that's just step one in a much more complex game of political musical chairs, so the rumor/speculation goes:
The new rumor on the blocks is that by moving up, Lincoln Diaz-Balart would leave his seat open not for [Crist's Senate primary opponent Marco] Rubio, but for his younger brother, 25th District Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart. The idea is that Mario is not enjoying the Dem-trending nature of his own district (it voted for McCain by 1% last year, and MDB himself only won re-election by 6%), and thinks that the 21st is more hospitable territory for the Diaz-Balart brand. I'm not so sure how wise of a move that would be — the 21st isn't all that more GOP-friendly than the 25th; LDB's district went for McCain by 2%, but he crushed highly-touted but highly flawed Dem nominee Raul Martinez by 16 points during the same election. The theory, then, is that Marco Rubio would be free to run in the adjacent 25th District once MDB successfully swaps seats.
Ostensibly, after serving out the remainder of Mel Martinez' term, Lincoln Diaz-Balart would just ride off into the Congressional sunset to join up with LobbyistLand or some other such career change. Of course, this could all be a red herring to get Marco Rubio to blink.
Meanwhile, someone will be named, and soon:
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) will name a replacement for retiring Sen. Mel Martinez (R) before Congress returns from August recess, choosing from among what is likely to be a pool of seven potential candidates.On Friday, Crist's office announced it had requested questionnaires from three potential candidates – ex-U.S. Attorney Bob Martinez, former Attorney General Jim Smith and Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R).
"He's seriously considering it," Diaz-Balart spokesman Andy Gonzalez said of Crist's request.
Crist's communications director, Erin Isaac, said the eventual list of candidates Crist considers will be composed of "seven or so" names.
Republican sources say former Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings, former Sen. Connie Mack (R), ex-Rep. Clay Shaw (R) and state Sen. Daniel Webster (R) could also be on the list, along with a surprise dark horse – former Crist chief of staff George LeMieux, now the chairman of a major Florida law firm.
"There's additional names that will be released," Isaacs said, though she would not address LeMieux's chances specifically. LeMieux declined to comment for this story.
There's no word on when Crist's office will release the additional names. However, August recess ends on September 7 with the conclusion of Labor Day weekend. Clock's ticking.
guru helluva nerve
guru pretty daring to keep soliciting money the day the coward in chief and scum of the senate (baucus conrad et al) killed real health reform. i say fuck um i hope we lost 20 senate seats in 2010 the house and the coward gets creamed by palin in 12 they deserve it do not ask me to give money to any d candidate ever fuck em all they deserve to lose. dont be leming vote green in 2010 and 2012
You are way off base.
100 House members won't vote for a bill that doesn't include the public option. The HELP committee already has passed a bill with a public option that will go to the floor. The Whitehouse is walking back its stupid trial baloon. And after both houses vote we'll have to go to conference committee where Nancy Pelosi is bound to put her best lieutinants in to fight for the option. To put it frankly, I ain't heard no fat lady sing so quit your bawling. Besides, even if healthcare reform doesn't come out perfect, we still have an economy we need to get moving, wars to wind down, an energy bill to pass, the biggest environmental crisis in the history of the human race, a broken immigration system, and some civil rights legislation to get passed-so let's not go wishing for President Palin and the ascendency of teh stupid just because you're feeling pissed on.
Check out Blue Arkansas:
so the tone was a little off but
i talked to my ofa organizer who is as confused as me. I understand what your saying. this is what i am going i am going to let my congressman know i want a public option as well as my senators. as far as the coward and the scum fuck um if we have to drag them kicking and screaming fine. As far as the white House statement from the lowly aide that nothing changed if you believe that i have some land in Fl I want you to buy. The coward told you and me to fuck off he is taking us for granted so fuck him. give to health care for america. give to candidates who support real healthcare reform. btw the president well abandon cap and trade in sept. it is not losing the fight that pisses me off it is that he well not even get in the ring. why have neither him or Gibbs walked it back. they where both in public today why did sebillius never clarify. the fact is they stupidly are given everything away in pursuit of a gop senators that well never vote for the bill. we need to stop following blindly what is the point of electing these people if they flip the moment they win. We do not need the gop we are own opposition party
I am not saying i am a liar but i do in fact believe my pants are on fire
yes gibbs walked it back at 4:5O edt read the transcript on whitehouse.gov i was wrong ardem was right i have egg on the face can all be forgiven. i still have issues with baucus,conrad et al but ar dem is right. i need to have some herbal tea or pet my cat remember not to type angry. thanx ar dem
At least you're a big enough person to own up to it.
Here's the thing about politics-you're always going to have disappointment and things are always going to seem like doomsday, but somehow we all get through it and things seem to work out in the end. That's never a given though, and it's all the more reason to stay engaged, accomplish whatever positive change we can at the moment and push for more in the next round. We're all angry here for one reason or another, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. And from one cat owner to another, they're very good to have around when you have those high stress moments. Even this big useless lumux of mine trying to lay on the keyboard.

A few tips if you're going to the Salone del Mobile, Milan's international furniture fair, this weekend. 1. Don't leave without
Grazie mille Laurence Humier for walking me to Spazio Rossana Orlandi, a shop slash exhibition space in the Magenta District. The old buildings offers several floors of design furnishing with a gallery for exhibitions, a cafe where ladies in pearl necklace sell their homemade cakes and a space dedicated to fashion. It's a bit like Colette in Paris. Only more bourgeois and less Tokyo-NYc oriented. Still, very very fun place to visit. See by yourself:
There were rooms after rooms of tables, plates on tables, lampshades on top of tables, seats and shelves. What got my attention was Isabel Berglund's Home With Tree. Very big knitted cotton tree planted in a tiny white room and part of Danish Craft.
Frederique Morrel had some fiery tapestry human and non-human animals climbing up the walls overlooking the cafe area. The creatures are dressed in needlework with added fur touch here and there.
Far away from there, at Spazio Krizia, Ingo Maurer is presenting spectacular exploded comic lamps.
If you have the misfortune of finding yourself in Turin in this period of Holy Shroud mayhem, then i send you all my sympathy but also a suggestion to make your way to the Gallery Guido Costa Projects.
The ongoing exhibition Blessing of the Hippopotamus made me discover the magnificent Reverend Ethan Acres. The artist is first and foremost an Evangelist preacher. Just like his dad and his grand father were. Born in Alabama, jewel of the Bible Belt where the percentage of non-religious people doesn't raise higher than 6%, the Reverend performs weddings, last rites for deceased pets and he preaches on Sundays along the famous Fremont Street in Las Vegas where he moved a few years ago.
The Reverend Ethan Acres has made it his mission to "put the fun back into Fundamentalism." He has more verve than a tv preacher, more charisma than a whole drive-in chapel and far more dynamism than a gospel aerobic instructor. The Reverend uses art to accompany his sermons and spread the Word large and wide, linking it to ancient traditions of sacred art. In the '90s he even a converted camper trailer into a mobile Vegas-style church he called the "Highway Chapel".
Christian faith meets Barbarella, Teletubbies, rock and metal band Kiss and pop craft in his paintings, digital prints, installations, sculptures, videos and performances. Proceeds from his artworks provide financial support for his Church of the Holy Fool.
The exhibition is composed of a series of artefacts and of a documentation of the performance that The Reverend gave in Turin. On the evening of March 4, he appeared dressed as a preacher to declare his love for God and tell the tale of his first love. He was a teenager when he first fell in love. He was slim, had long hair and the woman was dying of cancer. He explains how he accompanied her during her last weeks of chemotherapy, walked the dog with her, watched as suitors kept knocking on her door and kissed her on the forehead just as she was passing away. At that moment of his sermon he tore away his clothes, kept just a tiny pink slip (adorned with a padlock) and a pair of knee protectors and put on the mask of a hippopotamus. He immersed himself into a kids' inflatable swimming pool filled with muddy water. He is the hippopotamus and immerses himself in the mud of life. After having washed up in tiny inflatable basins, he stood by the door of the gallery to bless visitors "in the name of the hippopotamus" with a muddy cross drawn on their forehead.
One of the works exhibited in the gallery hints at the Shroud of Turin which is exhibited nowadays in town. The Reverend put inside a frame an "Elvis Sweatcloth". At concert, Elvis would take one of his dozens of scarves, wear it around the neck for a few seconds, long enough to soak in a bit of sweat and then throw it into the audience. He would repeat the operation several times during the show. Why Elvis? Because it appears that the last book The King was reading before he died was The Scientific Search For The Face Of Jesus by Frank Adams. He had requested it after having heard that it demonstrated the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, said to be Jesus' burial wrapping.
The Blessing of the Hippopotamus is on view at Guido Costa Projects in Turin until Mars 30, 2010.
Since 1955, the World Press Photo Foundation is awarding the most striking and representative images that illustrate the events of our times in the press. The winners of the contest are exhibited this year in 100 cities in 45 countries and is still expanding. The plethora of venues might explain why World Press Photo is so wantonly careless about the way the images are exhibited. About a year and a half ago, i visited the World Press Photo 2008 exhibition at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere during FotoGrafia, Rome's international festival of photography. There were good quality prints, the light was adequate and the space was lovely. Two weeks ago i saw the new WPP exhibition in Turin this time and it was dreadful. I'm all for financing culture but paying 6 euros to see bad prints of the original images glued on panels which were planted in a room lit like an underground parking lot is not exactly my idea of an exhibition that does justice to the work of talented photographers.
Here's some of the photos i liked the best:
Johan Bävman followed the lives of Tanzanian albinos, an exposed and vulnerable group in one of the world's poorest countries. Many African albinos are hunted and killed for their body parts, believed to bring luck, wealth, good health, etc. In addition to discrimination, and a recent wave of murders, the albino population face serious medical issues. Eye problems often lead to a lack of education among albino people and living under the equatorial sun exposes them to skin cancer.
Palestinian protestors take cover behind an olive tree as they get caught in tear gas fired by Israeli troops, in the West Bank village of Ni'lin, near Ramallah, in May. Residents of the village began staging weekly demonstrations in May against Israel's extension of a barrier which would cut off part of their farmland and therefore endanger their livelihood.
A band formed by members of the Niger Movement for Justice helps spread the message of the Tuareg, a nomadic people living in an area that crosses a number of North African countries. They complain that they are excluded from local mining income, and lack political representation. Tuareg groups in both Niger and neighboring Mali attacked government facilities and took scores of prisoners, following the collapse of a 2006 ceasefire.
A Zimbabwean man crawls through the border fence from Zimbabwe into South Africa, close to Beit Bridge, on May 21. Zimbabwe was experiencing spiraling hyperinflation and critical unemployment. Official figures set immigration to South Africa at an average of 96,000 per month, not taking illegal migrants into account. In May, xenophobic violence broke out in Gauteng province, around Johannesburg. Attacks against migrants accused of taking homes and jobs from locals went on for several weeks, leaving around 60 people dead.
Women bathe on Pitzunda beach, on the Black Sea coast. Abkhazia was once popular as a holiday destination for the Soviet elite. During the 2008 South Ossetia War, Russian and Abkhazian forces attacked the Georgian units located in the region and occuped Kodori Gorge. The majority of the population was forced to move to Western Georgia. The Russian Federation recognized the independence a Abkhazia in August 2008.
Carlo Gianferro's Gypsy Interiors opens the doors of the homes of affluent Roma in Romania and Moldova. Little is allowed to disturb the flamboyant and spotless rooms. Kitchen, for example, serve primarily for display, as women prefer to cook outdoors in communal cauldrons amongst friends and neighbours.
Italian Coastguards find a lost, overloaded migrant boat from Libya after hours of search, Mediterranean Sea, Italian waters around the island of Lampedusa, Italy, July 30, 2008. Just off the coast of Tunisia, Lampedusa forms part of a much-used route for illegal immigration from Africa into Europe. Authorities on the island struggled to cope with an increase of 75% in migrant arrivals in 2008. Detention centers were filled beyond capacity, forcing hundreds to sleep outdoors.
The exhibition is on view this week in Istanbul, Jakarta, Tel Aviv, Kapfenberg, and soon in Leipzig, Jena and Torun.

Spain has ARCO in Madrid, France FIAC in Paris, the UK do Frieze in London, Germany has Art Cologne and art forum in Berlin, etc. But what is the main contemporary art fair in Italy? Do sit down please because the list is getting longer. There's a contemporary art fair in Bologna, one in Milan, in Bolzano, in Verona. And then there's Turin. Surely there must be one in the South of the country but i don't think i've ever been told about it. I only go to Turin, not just because i have the misfortune to live there, but because Artissima, which closed a few weeks ago, never disappoints me. It is decidedly the edgiest and most exciting contemporary art fair in the country. In fact, you'd almost think that people come here because they love art, not just because they want to buy, invest and speculate.
Over 45,000 visitors visited the fair and the sales went fairly well (at least that's what you tend to hear and read in times of crisis.) Not everybody was ecstatic though. There was the scandal of the catalogs (one of them compiles interviews with gallery owners some of which were not present at the fair and were therefore not contributing to the financing of the catalog printing, the gallery owners who had not been interviewed for the booklet felt they had been cheated), others lamented Turin's decision to focus many of the city's art events in November, with the effect that collectors and visitors had less time to spend at the fair than gallerists might have hoped.
As i mentioned a few weeks ago, the fair had the objective of being affordable, introducing young artists at "prices you can buy." The definition of 'affordable' being open to debate, Artissima opened THE STORE, a shop curated by Adam Carr, at the back of the exhibition space. Plebeians like you and me could snap a poster, bag, lollipop, video, postcard, mug or balloon for 0 to 450 euro (i was told you were even allowed to bargain) by artists such as Nina Beier, Stella Capes, Tomas Chaffe, Claire Fontaine, Ryan Gander, Liam Gillick, Loris Gréaud, Arunas Gudaitis, Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Jonathan Monk, Paola Pivi, Mario Garcia Torres, etc. I got the Jonathan Monk bag with the press kit so i'm as happy as a clam (never inquired about the degree of felicity of a clam but i found the expression on google and thought it sounded adequate.)
Now I'll just throw a few pictures and artworks at your face, go back to my "English Period drama tv series" viewing and come back to you tomorrow with a post focusing on the photographic works i discovered at Artissima.
The entrance of the fair was particularly eye-catching thanks to the Constellation section which presents a museum-style selection of installations, sculptures, videos, and large-format works selected by Heike Munder, from the Migros Museum Für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich. I only paid attention to it at the end of my visit when i saw these alpine lads falling half-asleep during a dancing marathon on a rotating podium:
Stas Volyazlovsky's artworks are painted on bed-sheets, pillow-cases and towels dipped into a strong tea which is very popular among inmates of Russian prisons. They figure Pushkin, Hitler, "lolitas", mutant nurses and Dracula among obscene words and motives that remind criminal tattoos.
Naïma Bourquin, Johan Wacquez, and Vassili Lavandier are three fictive persons. Artist Jonathan Delachaux sculpts then photographs them for the realization of his paintings. Everything in the painting is very realistic. Except the characters, they retain their eerie puppet appearance.
Carsten Höller reminded us that he was trained as a biologist by filling a series of vitrines with Doppelpilze (Double mushrooms). Each replica of mushroom was halved and then coupled with a different kind of mushroom.
Amusingly, this slot machine which seemed to work like your usual slot machine was defined "an interactive sculpture." You'll notice an artwork featuring skulls just behind this -now that i think of it- rather uninspiring 'interactive sculpture'.
I saw an awful lot of skulls at Artissima.
See you tomorrow!

No matter how hard i try to keep in touch with what is going on in Turin, i always seem to do an awful job. Latest openings in London, Berlin, Eindhoven, San Diego or Venice? Easy peasy. But Turin does its best to keep me bored and uninformed. I discovered only a few days ago, as i was taking the plane to Graz (did you know Arnold Schwarzenegger comes from there?), that here was a fantastic exhibition in town. It had opened in May and i managed to visit it yesterday morning, a few hours after being back from Austria.
East of Nowhere - Contemporary Art from post-Soviet Central Asia showed the work of 32 artists coming from countries i'm unable to locate precisely on a map, except when wars or Hollywood mockumentaries give me a helping hand.
The countries investigated are 5 ex-Soviet republics (Kazakhstan, Kirgizistan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan and Turkmenistan), along with Afghanistan and Mongolia. These two had been at some point under Soviet leadership and they show ethnic and cultural affinities with the republics just mentioned.
East of Nowhere, located in the beautiful but cruelly un-heated Fondazione 107, uses photographic works, videos, installations and sculptures to document a moment of extraordinary transformation for an area that is 5 times as big as Europe. The result is bold and exciting with its mix of "globalization", acceleration, nomadic lifestyle, pre-soviet and islamic traditions.
The oldest artworks in the show are Dugarsham Tserennadmid's b&w photos. From the '60s till the '90s, she documented everyday life in the steppe as well as the key moments her country -Mongolia- was going through. In the '90s she decided to leave the art scene and go back to her roots: nomadism.
In The Way to Rome , Said Atabekov recalls Marco Polo's thirteenth century journey from Italy through Central Asia and up to China, and how he returned to Rome and became a symbol of the encounter between the East and West. Atabekov traveled through Kazakhstan to capture ordinary actions, landscapes, people, moments and objects that all look very exotic to us.
With her series titled Self Soviet Architecture, Ekaterina Nikonorova imagine there's a syntony between places and the persons who inhabits them.
One of the most exciting works for me was a video animation by Regina Shepetya, Diana Yun and Malik Zenger. Mixing archive images, plasticine figures and playful graphics, World War Too is a super pop and concise account of WW2. A few minutes takes viewers from the rise of Hitler to the invasion of Poland, the Blitz, Operation Barbarossa, and finally to a defeated Hitler puppet fleeing a Berlin under the bombs.
Alimjan Jorobaev's photo series Men Praying on the Central Square in Bishkek looks at the interconnection between manifestations of military and state power and the increased presence of religion in public space in his country, Kyrgyzstan. One of the photos shows people praying with their backs turned to a sculpture glorifying Lenin. A powerful image since ideas of Soviet collectivism have been replaced by identity politics and an obsession with nationhood. Besides, the sculpture has now become a tourist attraction rather than an homage to the communist leader.
I can't end the post without showing a couple of works from Kazakhstan that reflect on the Borat phenomenon with irony and humour:
More images in the Flickr set.
East of Nowhere was the inaugural show of Fondazione 107. I'm afraid it is closed by now but i'm looking forward to see what Fondazione 107 is going to program in the future.

On Thursday, i did a tour of Artissima, the contemporary art fair in Turin. One of the objectives of the fair this year was to be 'affordable'. "We are not interested in having artworks that costs 10 million euros. We want to enable young people and those who have a passion for art but a limited budget to become collectors," explained to La Stampa Andrea Bellini, the Director of the Turin art fair. I didn't ask for any price so i'll take his word for it. I did notice a fair amount of young and i must say rather exciting artists in the booths.
Well, that was a pretty inappropriate introduction because i'm actually going to focus on a photographer who gained fame in the '70s and '80s for her documentation of the internal war of the Mafia in Sicily at its bloodiest, and its devastating impact on the rest of the society.
Just like Weegee and Enrique Metinides Letizia Battaglia was covering the cronaca nera, the crime stories for a newspaper. In her case, the left-wing L'Ora in Palermo.
In 1974, when the mafia moved from organised crime to heroin trafficking, mafiosi became more brutal. They murdered anyone who would stand in the way of their business, from the chief of police to family rivals. By 1981, there was one killing every three day. Sometimes many more.
At the time, the Cosa Nostra was identifiable. It had faces one could photograph and associate with crimes. Today, mafia is much less visible. Battaglia's pictures, because of the corruption, silence, violence and suffering they laid bare, played a crucial role in the anti-mafia campaign. They show anti-mafia Judge Cesare Terranova shot in his car, corpses of mobsters abandoned by the road, tears of the wives and mothers when they discover the scene of the crime, arrests of a mafia boss, teenagers pretending to be though guys with attitude and guns.
Some of her photos were even used as evidence of corruption against Giulio Andreotti, a man whose authority in Italian politics was so powerful he was known as Divo Giulio, "divine Julius" an epithet of Julius Caesar. In 1993, when prosecutors in Palermo indicted the ex-prime minister, the police searched Battaglia's archives and discovered two 1979 photographs of Andreotti with an important Mafioso he had denied knowing. These pictures were the only physical evidence of the politician's connections to the Sicilian Mafia. Battaglia's life, after she retired from photography, is as awe-inspiring as her images: she's a photoreporter known for taking risks but also an editor and environmental writer and politician.
The Cardi Black Box gallery in Milan brought the work of Battaglia to Artissima, along with two other photographers of tragedy: Enrique Metinides and former Swiss police lieutenant Arnold Odermatt who during almost 50 years recorded car accidents.
Wikipedia has a list of webpages where you can find more photos of Battaglia.

I've never posted a review in full here: I leave that to my fansites. But this one is different. It's not just a good review of my book, which it is, it's just a darn good review, period: well-written, thoughtful, engaging. I'd buy the book if I hadn't written it. To read it I imagine you'll have to click on the image. Click away.

Write a book, see the world. I've never been to Scottsdale before. I've never been to Phoenix. I have never even been to Arizona. My review? Very hot, full of nice people, some of whom are on their third and fourth lives. And giant cacti. Lots of giant cacti.

This is the cemetery behind the library where I read last night in Mobile. Things weren't dead inside at all. Five hundred people -- wait, no, I mean about seventy-five people came and listened to me drone on and on. I signed at least a thousand -- well, fifty books or so. Then a few of us went out to dinner. I had the grouper.I also had some fun yesterday morning. Last week I wrote a short piece about Tim Burton's upcoming film, Sweeney Todd, for Italian Vanity Fair. I write it in English, but they print it in Italian (how that happens I'll never know). So I'm at the airport, about to catch my flight to Mobile, and my editor in Italy calls me and wonders if I can draw a couple of pictures for the article, the catch being he needs them in eight hours. I say no, I wish I could but I can't. I'm not at my desk etc etc I don't have paints or my fancy pens . . .But then I think, I'll give it a try. So this is what I do: I get a piece of white, unlined paper from one of the check-in booths, get a pencil from a bookstore, and from Raleigh to Memphis (where I'm making a connection) I practice:Then, in Memphis (I have an hour layover) I draw two pictures. I call ahead to Nancy, the wonderful woman who is picking me up in Mobile, and ask her to schedule in a stop at a Kinko's, so I can scan the drawings. And she does . . . I do. Scan them. Then I send them to my computer, because I need to do a little work on them there . . .Long story short: it all works out. I send the pictures to Italy in time for the article, which will be on the stands next week!Yes, I've breakfasted with presidents, brunched with queens, and had a light supper with the gray-haired emperor of the Invisible Universe. But this sort of thing is still a lot of fun.Even if the picture I end up drawing is not that much of anything at all.

That's right. After a couple of weeks reacquainting myself with my wife and son, on Thursday of this week I will be in Mobile, Alabama, at the public library, reading from and talking about MSATNM and anything else you want to talk about. Then, on Saturday, I'll be in Scottsdale, Arizona, doing much the same thing. It's so hot in Scottsdale birds are using potholders to get worms from the ground. That's how hot it is in Scottsdale.As usual, the first few people who come out because they saw this advert get a free poster. (p.s. That's not an accurate representation of Henry, my son. This is an old drawing. He's almost as tall as I am now. And that's really not an accurate representation of Laura, either. She's much more colorful. But that's me, exactly. I haven't changed; I never do.)

The 2007 edition of New Stories From the South has just recently been published, edited by Edward Jones and the incomparable Kathy Pories. I have a story in it. I probably wouldn't be mentioning the book if I didn't have a story in it, this blogging commentary being the only place I can talk about myself and all the awesomely wonderful things I do without feeling as though I'm drawing attention to myself, because if you're reading this now the attention has already been drawn. The story is called "A Terrible Thing." Here is how it starts. If you want to read the rest, you know where to go. Before I met the woman who would become my wife, I went out with women who were in some way disfigured, girls to whom terrible things had happened, things which were apparent to anyone who looked at them. Not all of them were like that, but a lot of them were – many – maybe even most. One of the women I went out with was missing a hand. Another had been badly burned in a fire. Celia had a birthmark planted on one whole side of her face like an immense, permanent red welt. There were others like that. I was drawn to these women in a way I could never put words to then. I guess I was some kind of freak myself, though I didn't think so at the time and I don't think the girls (none of whom knew about the others) thought that either. You might assume because these days it's natural to assume that it was a sexual thing, that somehow I got off on the scars and missing pieces. But (though we did have sex sometimes, the same as anyone) this wasn't true. Or I took pity on these women who if it weren't for me might never have been with another man in their entire lives. But I don't think it was this either. I think it was simply their observable difference that was intriguing to me – and the degree to which they were able to live a happy and normal life with it. Not that all of us don't harbor some sort of distinction, that thing that makes us us rather than somebody else, but with these women it was obvious, and clear, exactly what it was.

As you might imagine, there was not a little discussion about the title of this book. Discussion with the wife, the agent, the editor, and friends. Not the best way to title it, necessarily, but the culturally appropriate way to title it. There were a few people who believed that the word 'negro' was offensive. I didn't believe it was. I argued that, since the book takes place in early to mid-twentieth century, 'negro,' while clearly anachronistic, was appropriate for the time. So MSATNM it was.That being said, I did expect someone to say something about it. I thought I'd get a few angry posts here, maybe a paragraph about it in the course of a review, a question about it at a reading . . . but there was nothing. At all. Apparently no one has really cared one way or the other. I'm surprised -- happily surprised, because the idea wasn't to offend, but to create interest, and maybe that's what it's done.There are a number of ways the title is perfect for this book, and some of them aren't clear until you read it. So read it.

Not to draw your attention away from MSATNM, but I want to alert new viewers of this page to another book I've written, O Great Rosenfeld!Please click away and take a look! It's worth your while. This little book has yet to be published in America, but the next time you're in France you can pick it up. They love it in France. And it's coming out in Korea later this year too. But not America. Yet. Sad.It's written and illustrated by me, and it even has a soundtrack, written and performed by the amazing Falcon.Look. Listen. You'll love it.

Friday's reading at Malaprop's in Asheville, North Carolina marks the official end of my book tour for MSATNM. I enjoyed it. There were a few early flights -- I had to rise around 4:30 in the morning on more than one occasion -- but, amid all the delays and cancellations I've been reading about it, I had not a single one. Everywhere I needed to go I got to, on time, without problem. So a shout out to all the wonderful airlines I flew on: thanks! I guess you knew how important it was I got to Lexington, and Nashville, and Jackson . . .Of the four tours I've done, this was the best. Big Fish comes in a close second, Ray in Reverse third, and The Watermelon King a distant fourth. Why? I like to think it was because MSATNM is better than the other three (which it is) but I don't believe this is really true. After a book is on the shelves for a while and people have a chance to read it and tell other people to read it, it creates a life of its own and becomes known and read and all that, and then eventually drifts away into obscurity. In the beginning then, how does a book get to be known?Marketing. Publicity. TV and radio time. Newspaper interviews. And this has less to do with the book in question (if you're me, anyway) than it does with the publicity and marketing machine behind the book, people who believe in it and will do everything they can to make others believe in it as well. The Watermelon King is a good book and deserved more readers than it got, but (for various reasons) the machine behind it malfunctioned. Word did not get out, and it drifted away into obscurity (skipping the two middle steps). Doubleday didn't let that happen with MSATNM. They loved the book, which might appear to be self-evident, since they bought it, but love doesn't always translate into action and this time it did. I was on television seven times, on the radio four, had four recorded interviews and a few newspaper pieces, a bunch of reviews and a lunch at the Book Expo which I think was at least partially responsible for a number of big reviews. I had over a hundred people at two events, and fifty plus at a few more. The only disappointment was Lexington, where one person came. And that wasn't a real disappointment because that one person was very nice. And it's not over. They're still working to get more -- more of everything. I'm just not going to have to travel so much from now on.I have a couple of dates later in August (Scottsdale AZ and Mobile AL) and then one or two in September, and then three in October. There may be more, but none have been scheduled yet. As far as what's this done for sales, I know it helped, but I really have no idea how the book is doing in this regard. If you go to Amazon it doesn't look that great, but I hope there are people out there buying their books at actual stores, especially independents.The book has been out about a month. It's just a baby. Almost everything surrounding this experience has been positive, so I count myself very lucky. This is certainly not the end of this commentary, because there's a lot more to tell. But now, at least, I'm at home, working on the next book.

MSATNM has been blessed with some mighty nice reviews so far. In fact, I can only think of one not-so-nice one which I would include here as well but . . . darn . . . where did I put that link? Oh well.I haven't been counting, but I think in the (almost a) month since publication there have been about a dozen reviews, maybe more. Reviews aren't supposed to matter to me, but they do. I like to be read and to hear what people think about what I've written, and when they like it, and seem to get it, then I'm happy; when they don't like it, and yet appear to have gotten it, I'm not as happy. I know some writers say they don't read their own reviews . . . and I really wonder if this is true. If there are any writers out there who don't read their own reviews, I'd love to hear from them. I'm not one of them, that's for sure.So, that being said, here are some of the reviews I read, and you can read them too if you are so inclined. I had started to link them individually, until I found a site that had them all there already. L.A. Times, USA Today, Oregon, Nashville, etc -- they are all here. Take a look!All in all I'm happy with the way it's been received, by reviewers and by readers I meet on the road. I'm happy. Period.

The Brown Residence by Lake|Flato Architects
Lake|Flato Architects designed the Brown Residence in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Description from the architects:
Despite being located in an expansive golf community, the Brown residence celebrates stunning desert views from almost every space. Its careful design makes this possible as views to neighboring houses are edited out focused instead on distant mountains. While the residence presents an unassuming, modest scale to the street, it steps down with the slope of the site allowing the spaces inside to become quite generous. Oversize pivot doors and large expanses of glass allow abundant light and air into these spaces while broad overhangs and shading devices protect them from the harsh desert sun.

Great selection of materials and finishes, I like!
Marie on 29 May 2012 at 10:54 am #
The architectural structure of the interior is only simple yet there is an air of gracefulness on the way how this design was formed. This classical features similar to a condo design.

I really like the floor to ceiling windows and the mountain views from the living room. Beautiful!

The sys admin's daily grind: RSyslog
Where To Next?
Well-used services write reams of log information to disk, which is not only bothersome from a storage perspective but also pushes grep and the usual group of statistics tools to their limits. Will hitching the syslog daemon up to a database help?
Who said length doesn't matter? My spam filters alone give me a 3GB logfile daily, which would be fine if I just needed the beast to check up on the occasional error. Because I need to extract a whole bunch of statistics about spam and virus threats from the file, grepping such enormous files takes ages, besides creating far too much I/O overhead.
RSyslog [1] took me a giant leap closer to finding a solution – it logs directly to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database, meaning that I can replace my grep commands with fast SQL statements. RSyslog is included with many distributions and is the default application in Fedora 8, for example. By default, my Ubuntu lab environment runs sysklogd, making it easy for me to switch to RSyslog. For the time being, I can even keep my old syslog.conf. For the most part, RSyslog's configuration file is the same as the legacy format, although it does support a couple of additional options for linking up with the database.
First I need to set up a database. To do so, I run the createDB.sql script, which is provided with the RSyslog package:
mysql -u root -pPasswort < ./createDB.sql
This command line automatically creates a database called Syslog along with the required tables.
At the MySQL prompt, I then create a user and assign privileges:
> grant ALL ON Syslog.* to rsyslog@localhost identified by 'secret'; > flush privileges;
Next, telling RSyslog to use the database is refreshingly simple – just two lines in /etc/rsyslog.d/mysql.conf:
$ModLoad MySQL mail.* >localhost,Syslog,rsyslog,secret
The first line loads the module that RSyslog needs to access the database. The second line defines the log facility containing the entries RSyslog will push to the database. The mail facility data are all I need to create spam filter statistics, followed by the access parameters for the MySQL database: hostname, database name, MySQL user name, and password.
After rebooting, I was pleased to see the RSyslog daemons filling the database (Figure 1). All done! This won't magically improve your spam statistics, but at least it will get the job done faster. Incidentally, the example here works with the current 2.0.2. stable release. RSyslog's author, Rainer Gerhards, is working hard on a 3x version, which he promises will add even more neat features.

I'm not going back to my hard core, intense, drastic ways of losing weight. Though I am not losing and just maintaining right now, it's because I am unwilling to do what I deem as crazy things – like cut out all grains & starches, or go gluten free, or refined sugar free, or vegan, or really cut anything out.
Rather, my approach now is just more moderate. I can eat anything and I mean ANYTHING I want, but just not over eat, binge, or stuff myself. I've really been at this weight range for over 3 months.
I still eat junk, but not all the time, and when I do, it's not a lot.
I may only lose 5-10 lbs a year for the next 2-3 years, but that will be enough. Just very little changes here and there.
My sleep habits are good, which is a HUGE thing. I do overall drink water, but I do also drink Coke.
I think having freedom is to be able to eat what you want, but in moderation. My husband can drink Coke way more than me, but so what? I can drink it, too, just in very small quantities and it works for me.
So, I guess though I want to be down another 25 lbs to get my flat abs, it may never happen and that would be alright. My husband loves the way I look and feel, and my ideal goal he doesn't like. I am getting healthier.
So, I am going to mark this goal as complete as I've ended the yoyoing by no longer being extreme and expecting extreme from myself. This not only applies in the eating, but especially in exercising. All I really ever do is walk some, that's it.
Yes, I can do the hardcore workouts, but I really don't want to in my situation right now, and perhaps not doing them is ending my yoyoing with the weight? I think so.

To facilitate sustainable and harmonious resolution of situations of social and communal conflicts and disharmony through the means of dialogue and nonviolence, Shanti Sena will intervene by upholding fearlessness in the environment of fear; truth in the environment of untruth; and, nonviolence in the environment of violence.
We aim to raise a force of 50 trained Shanti Sainik by 2007. They will work in areas selected in their own neighborhood as their primary duty. We aim to raise such 100 trained Shanti Sainik by 2009 as our tribute to the Centennial of Hind Swaraj. They will be trained for nonviolent intervention in conflict situation outside of their neighborhood if needed.
As a member of a community, nation and the humanity every individual, directly or remotely, is responsible for any act of violation of truth, righteousness and morality. Out of this awareness one acquires a sense of duty. The one fired by such sense of duty is called Shanti Sainik. With courage and equanimity, such a person upholds truth when untruth rules, fearlessness when fear reigns; and, nonviolence when violence dominates. Violence in its all forms is borne out of suppression of truth and is sustained by the power of fear. While violence in its physical, mental and spiritual forms, lays its roots in dogma, it finds its nourishment in silence. To seek a remedy is an act of nonviolence.
If we look back we have a whole century of an extraordinary show of nonviolence which has enlightened the modern world as nothing else has. The unique and great experiment in the power of truth and nonviolence conducted under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi has since inspired nonviolent movements for human liberation through out the subjugated world and races. Western nations themselves started investing in what the Mahatma called development of "science of the Soul." In India only a generation back the power of ordinary people's nonviolence saw huge social and political transformation under the leadership of Acharya Vinoba Bhave and Jaiprakesh Narayan. Nonviolence is such a legacy of India which has no parallel in the world.
A society which can not resolve its problems through means of peace and nonviolence may develop economically, but such development can neither add into real prosperity nor strengthen democratic fibre. Even with less means, family, village, community and a nation can achieve prosperity if people are united in harmonious relationship. Shanti Sena is for building social harmony and resolving conflicts through the ways of nonviolence.
Devoted to non-violence, a Shanti Sainik is vigilant servant of the community.
Shanti Sainik approaches to resolve conflict at following five levels:
In order to build character of a nonviolent peace-worker one must devote a certain time consistently to selfless social service; introspect regularly in order to overcome anger and hatred towards someone whom one doesn't like, so that one practices and learns to imbibe forgiveness and compassion and thus become capable of loving and serving others.

One of my first stops in the morning is The Other McCain, and Wombat Socho's Live at Five. That's part of my one stop shopping for what's going on in the world. This morning, Stacy has a post that I strongly encourage conservatives to read, because it's spot on. We need more of this, if we're going to start winning elections. Lukewarm Conservatism isn't working.
We do not have to lower ourselves to their level. We merely have to tell the truth about who the Democrats are. People who voted for Obama (or any other Democrat) should be ashamed of themselves.
The GOP's ridiculous defensive flinch reflex — "Oh, no! Somebody said rude things about Democrats!" — is symptomatic of a larger problem: Republicans let liberals dictate the terms of debate.
That is just a small sample, please read the whole thing, and share it!
