A Novel of Shanghai
Set in post-World War II Shanghai, The Song of Everlasting Sorrow follows the adventures of Wang Qiyao, a girl born of the longtong, the crowded, labyrinthine alleys of Shanghai's working-class neighborhoods.
Infatuated with the glitz and glamour of 1940s Hollywood, Wang Qiyao seeks fame in the Miss Shanghai beauty pageant, and this fleeting moment of stardom becomes the pinnacle of her life. During the next four decades, Wang Qiyao indulges in the decadent pleasures of pre-liberation Shanghai, secretly playing mahjong during the antirightist Movement and exchanging lovers on the eve of the Cultural Revolution. Surviving the vicissitudes of modern Chinese history, Wang Qiyao emerges in the 1980s as a purveyor of "old Shanghai"a living incarnation of a new, commodified nostalgia that prizes splendor and sophisticationonly to become embroiled in a tragedy that echoes the pulpy Hollywood noirs of her youth.
From the violent persecution of communism to the liberalism and openness of the age of reform, this sorrowful tale of old China versus new, of perseverance in the face of adversity, is a timeless rendering of our never-ending quest for transformation and beauty.
Wang Anyi attempts to encapsulate the essence of her metropolis amid decades of twentieth-century vicissitudes. The Song of Everlasting Sorrow: A Novel of Shanghai is unquestionably the most acclaimed novel by one of China's most well-known authors. Michael Berry's translation is executed with care and is true to the original style.
Robin Visser, assistant professor of Asian studies, University of North Carolina
A beautifully constructed cyclical narrative... the manner in which character types and events recur against the city's shifting backdrop is impossible to forget.
Michael Berry and Susan Chan Egan's graceful translation... helps us understand why Wang Anyi is one of the most critically acclaimed writers in the Chinese-speaking world.
Francine Prose
A genuine classic.
Bradley Winterton
Spellbinding, colorful... a page-turner right up to the end.
Helene Williams
Certain to take a preeminent place in China's literary canon... The Song of Everlasting Sorrow is at last available in a masterful English translation.

Building inground pool in exceptional drought
brg88txMay 26, 2011
Is there any danger in having a pool built in an exceptional drought like we're having here in se texas? It usually rains about 4 inches per month, but i haven't had one inch in the past 3-4 months. Ground is very sandy in my area. Waiting on hoa approval and should be good to go by next week or so.

Wiebo de Wit's thoughts about game development and more…
As you may have read (or not) I lost the source code of some past projects. Keeping your code on your own machine and doing your own backups is all good and if you have that in place that's cool. It's no insurance against dropping drives from the stairs though. I started thinking, and the idea of having a server which holds my code safe for me started to sound pretty handy. That and being able to reach it from anywhere.So I went looking. It turns out you basically can do three things with SVN:
Creating your own server is interesting, but I don't want to have machines running when I'm not using them. So that's not an option.
The documentation of most (if not all) SVN clients tells me that it is not a good idea to put your repository on a network folder. I actually tried to create a repository on my network SMB drive but it just won't work. The thing is formatted with FAT32 and I get permission errors which I cannot fix right now. A local repository on my development machine is the other option, and it has the benefit of me having versioning, but it does not address the need of a separate place to store source code. I could put a scheduled task on my machine to copy the files from time to time, but it feels clunky.
It feels weird to put source on a site somewhere, but hey, let's look at the hosted options:
There are more hosted solutions, but XP-Dev seems to be the one to go for now. The big advantage of a hosted repository is that you can access your sources from anywhere. Also, it adds additional functionality like bug tracking. Commitment to a solution is a big thing, but as XP-Dev allows export of your repository at any time, you can get your data and version history and implement it somewhere else if you want to.
So, I went there, registered, created a repository, and now, which client to use? Lets look at the options:
Again, there are more options but these represent the most different in features and functionality. The command line tools will do the trick, but I need something more visual. I prefer to use TurtoiseSVN. The added benefit of shell integration is that I can 'see' if my files are in sync with the repository or not. And if not, all I have to do is right-click and select Commit. No need for a repository browser or command line tools. Also, the ability to exclude files from the commit is nice.
I'm satisfied with this solution, and so far XP-Dev and TurtoiseSVN seem to offer all I need.

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas Blanc is a blend of four estate-grown white Rhône varietals: Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc. The wine, like most wines of the Southern Rhône, is a blend of varietals, featuring the aromatics and fruit of the Viognier, the flavors and clean minerality of the Marsanne and Roussanne, and the crisp acids and rich mouthfeel of the Grenache Blanc.
The 2005 Côtes de Tablas Blanc is Tablas Creek's fourth national release of its Viognier-based white blend, made in a rich and aromatic style, yet with a clean minerality in the mouth, bright acidity, and a long finish. Like our Côtes de Tablas red, this wine is designed to be ready to drink young: at its peak from the moment of its release.
The grapes for our Côtes de Tablas Blanc were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2005 vintage was one of nature's lucky breaks, with excellent quality and higher-than-normal yields. The wet winter of '04-'05 gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and a warm period in March got the vines off to an early May flowering. The summer was uniformly sunny but relatively cool, and harvest began (relatively late for us) in the 3rd week of September. The grapes spent nearly a month longer than normal on the vine, and the resulting wines were intensely mineral, with good structure and powerful aromatics. The Viognier was harvested between September 22nd and October 8th, the Marsanne on October 10th and 11th, the Grenache Blanc between September 26th and October 26th, and the Roussanne (unusually, our last varietal harvested) between September 26th and November 7th.
All varietals for the Côtes de Tablas Blanc were whole cluster pressed, and fermented in stainless steel to emphasize the clean crisp flavors and preserve the aromatics. Only native yeasts were used. After fermentation, the wines were racked and blended, and bottled in April 2006. The wine underwent only a light cold stabilization before bottling.
The 2005 Côtes de Tablas Blanc is a blend in the style of French Cotes du Rhone whites, and features spicy aromas of herbs, stone fruits and minerals are followed in the mouth by apricot flavors, rich texture, bright acidity, and a long, clean peachy finish.

Hundreds of you have joined us for one of our annual blending seminars over the years. If you haven't yet, let this be the year. Partner Jason Haas and winemaker Neil Collins will lead a barrel tasting of the individual varietals (both reds and whites), and will discuss how we turn roughly one hundred components into the blends and varieties we make each year. Then, you will be set loose with graduated cylinders to produce your own blends. Details & More Events »

Women, Politics, and Popular CultureThe landmark 2008 presidential and vice presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin brought the role of women in American leadership into sharper focus than ever before.

In the past, the nightly

It took a while, but eventually the Falcons took care of business as planned against visiting St. Francis on Friday. Thanks in large part to the second quarter performance of senior quarterback Zach Sutton, the Falcons came away with a 43-15 victory on Friday.
With his team leading 8-0 one-third of the way through the second quarter, Sutton found the proverbial "zone." After completing just one of his first five pass attempts through the 16 minutes of the game, Sutton completed 8 of his next 9
pass attempts for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The first touchdown was a 20-yard strike to senior Nick Cimler with 5:24 left in the second quarter, and the second touchdown was a 26-yard pass to senior tight end Patrick Wyrowski at the 2:22 mark of the second quarter.
"We were just getting our momentum going and just pass after pass and just kept going" said Sutton.
St. Francis appeared to on the road to an upset early. On the game's very first drive, St. Francis began with the ball on its own 36-yard line and marched deep
into Whitnall territory before fumbling on the 1-yard line. The Mariners began their second drive with great field position but failed to gain even one first down before turning the ball over on downs.
"We got it back again a little later, but we fumbled the ball on the 1-yard line, and that takes air out of the sails" said St. Francis head coach Doug Sarver after the game.
St. Francis senior running back Francisco Avila had 240 yards rushing and two touchdowns to provide a major bright spot. The first score was a 74-yard dash at the 4:49 mark of the second quarter, and the second rushing touchdown for Avila was a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter, which was set up by a 61-yard run by Avila.
The Falcons had issues tackling at times, especially on Avila. Whitnall head coach Jeff Wallack was looking for better.
"Football is a funny game because last week against a more physical Greenfield team and we held them to 104 yards rushing on just 47 carries," Wallack said. "In the first half, St. Francis rushes for 177 yards on 27 carries so we apparently need to learn how to tackle better. But give credit to St. Francis, they ran the ball hard."
Whitnall improved to 2-0 in the division and 3-1 overall.

ADENIUM seed or plant
nt777December 10, 2013
Hello. I need to buy some plants or seeds. Please give me some recommendation where to buy online. Thanks for your help.
Well, I get exotic named varieties of seedlings on eBay for what I consider a very reasonable price just to see if they will thrive under my cultural conditions as house plants.
I wouldn't consider starting seeds because I would end up with too many seedlings.

Thailand Lifts Ban on Local Documentary 'Boundary'
Just two days after declaring Thai director Nontawat Numbenchapol's film Boundary "a threat to national security and international relations," Thailand's government censors have reversed course and cleared the film for domestic release.
Nontawat says he was contacted by the government's Film and Video Board late Thursday and told the ban issued on Tuesday was a "technical mistake." That verdict was issued by a subcommittee, they said, which lacks the authority to make such judgments. The board said they rescreened the film on Thursday afternoon and found it unobjectionable, approving it for screening in Thailand for audiences of 18 years and above.

The board also told the director that, according to protocol, filmmakers are supposed to be given a chance to formally defend their work before a ban is announced. That didn't happen on Tuesday. Nontawat says the board apologized for the oversight.
A modestly budgeted art-house doc, Boundary premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February.
The film focuses on a soldier who took part in the government crackdown on the "red shirt" political upheaval in Bangkok in 2010 and follows him to his hometown along the Thailand-Cambodia border, an area of ongoing dispute between the two countries. Nontawat's treatment of these two sensitive political topics appeared to be the cause of the sub-committee's concern when they issued the ban Tuesday.
STORY: Thailand Lobbies China to Restructure Its Film Import System
The Film and Video board did request one small cut to Boundary on Thursday, however. They asked the director to remove two seconds of ambient sound in an early scene showing a New Year's celebration in Bangkok, where an MC can be heard announcing from a stage: "Let's count down to celebrate [His Majesty] the King's 84th anniversary." The censors expressed concerns that this scene might lead to misinterpretation, Nontawat said.
Thailand is home to the world's longest sitting monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a figure revered throughout the country. Thailand has some of the world's strictest lese-majeste laws, which prohibit any public disparagement of the royal family.

Nontawat said the sound has no significance to his story so he agreed to mute it. Apart from these two seconds, the film remains intact.
The director is now working to revive his former plans for a limited domestic release.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
I removed my original article on Comstock from Catholic Online in order to give myself time to consider her "veto session" explanation. Having considered it, I find it not only inadequate but a sad reminder of the kind of explanation used by Rep. Bart Stupak when he backed down on his opposition to abortion funding in the health care bill.I've been told, publicly and privately, that I'm making it easier for a Democrat to win the 10th Congressional District, that Comstock is "electable," and so forth. As a Catholic commentator on politics, my obligation is to press hard on precisely these kinds of inconsistencies in the records and platforms of Catholic politicians.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
2/13/2014 (1 year ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: Barbara Comstock, Northern Virginia,
WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - Politics is a world where friends give and receive the benefit of the doubt. And that, I think, is as it should be. The loyalty of friendship naturally smooths over, or ignores, what acquaintances or strangers find troubling. When friends gather round to support one of their own in a political race they sometimes act startled when those being introduced to their candidate don't shrug off troubling issues.
A few days ago, I published an article raising questions about the vote of Delegate Barbara Comstock in the 2013 Virginia General Assembly. Comstock has recently announced her candidacy for the GOP nomination in Virginia's 10th Congressional District which encompasses an area running from McLean to Winchester. Thus, the voters Comstock must win, or any of her opponents, range from the "purple" of affluent McLean to the solid red of counties farther west.
My article elicited various criticisms, private and public, and led to the announcement of a Catholic Outreach committee for Comstock, many of whom are friends of mine. Comstock, by the way, is Catholic and attends St. Luke's Church in McLean. Having been the leader of Catholic Outreach for G. W. Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, I am no stranger to the workings of Republican Catholics in DC and Northern Virginia. The worst I have heard from any of these friends is that I was "badly misled," and it is to that charge that I must address myself.
Was I misled or inaccurate in my evaluation of Comstock's vote against the amendment to VA H.B.1900 that stripped the Virginia medical exchange, created under Obamacare, of all insurance coverage for abortions? The vote was considered against life, and scored as such, by the leading pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage organization in Virginia, the Family Foundation. Of the ten leading pro-life Delegates in Virginia, only one, in addition to Comstock, voted against the amendment.
As a result, Comstock received a 100% rating in 2013 for her vote from NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and her rating from the Family Foundation dropped from 100% to 89%. (Her lowered rating from the Family Foundation also includes her "yes" vote in favor of same-sex marriage activist judge, Tracey Thorne-Begland.)
There are many Catholics who find it odd that Comstock would vote against an amendment that stripped abortion coverage out of the implementation of Obamacare in Virginia. Since Delegate Comstock presented herself as a candidate who was both Catholic and pro-life, I looked into the matter. This is the kind of work I have been doing since taking over Crisis Magazine in 1995; as a pro bono adviser to Catholic Outreach at the Republican National Committee; and as a public commentator on Catholics in politics, including two books, How to Vote Catholic (Morley, 2004), and my 2008 book, Onward Christian Soldiers: The Growing Political Power of Catholics and Evangelicals in the United States (Simon and Schuster).
Over the years, my constant concern has been to hold the feet of Catholic politicians "to the fire," so to speak, when it comes to the Church's settled issues such as abortion, marriage, sterilization, and euthanasia. Catholics have had many disappointments - the majority of Catholics in Congress have supported abortion for decades. Only a few years ago, one Catholic Democrat, Rep. Bart Stupak, tried to hold out against immense pressure but eventually caved in, allowing abortion coverage in the health care bill that went to the desk of the President.
Thus, abortion coverage in Obamacare became both substantially and symbolically the sine qua non of pro-life politicians, especially among Catholics, since it was one of our own who couldn't take the pressure.
That I would be curious, as would any other Catholic voter, about Comstock's vote against the abortion funding amendment, is both natural and necessary. It is natural because we don't want to elect another Stupak; it is necessary because it is the obligation of Catholics to consider settled issues such as abortion and marriage ahead of prudential matters when casting their vote.
Comstock and her supporters all know this.
After the article was published, I immediately received, privately from several different sources, her justification for the vote: A vote during a "veto session" on an amendment automatically becomes her vote on the entire bill. That is, a no vote against the amendment is a no vote against the bill.
That is why, I was told, Comstock voted against the amendment: she wanted to register her opposition to Obamacare - when H.B.1900 was first presented to the General Assembly in February, 2013, Comstock had voted against it. When the Governor sent it back to the General Assembly in April, with the pro-life amendment, Comstock's second "no" vote was registered against the pro-life amendment in order, I am told, to once again register her opposition to Obamacare. (NARAL even awarded her for voting "no" to the pro-life amendment.)
At the surface of it, this might sound like a perfectly reasonable explanation, especially to those who deplore Obamacare for the all reasons it can be deplored. However, for someone who thinks life issues should be considered first, it raises more questions:
Since the Virginia medical exchange was already cleared by both chambers and the Governor, why didn't Comstock want to be part of a majority of Virginia Delegates who voted on April 3, 2013, to remove abortion funding from the VA implementation of Obamacare?
I have sent this question and others to Comstock's representative, Susan Falconer, but have received no response. I also asked the more important and most pertinent question: Does Delegate Comstock recognize a difference in moral priority between voting for an amendment that will eliminate abortion coverage, and an entirely symbolic vote against Obamacare, which was already ratified for Virginia?
If this question is ever addressed by either Comstock or her supporters, I expect to hear that she considered a vote against Obamacare the moral equivalent of voting against the abortion funding amendment. I consider that position indefensible. The entirety of Obamacare, no matter how much emotion it stirs in us, is not the moral equivalent of abortion, for the simple reason that Obamacare encompasses all medical practices.
I removed my original article on Comstock from Catholic Online in order to give myself time to consider her "veto session" explanation. Having considered it, I find it not only inadequate but a sad reminder of the kind of explanation used by Rep. Bart Stupak when he backed down on his opposition to abortion funding in the health care bill.
I've been told, publicly and privately, that I'm making it easier for a Democrat to win the 10th Congressional District, that Comstock is "electable," and so forth. As a Catholic commentator on politics, my obligation is to press hard on precisely these kinds of inconsistencies in the records and platforms of Catholic politicians.
That Comstock strongly supports over the counter contraception, several of which are considered abortifacients, is not in doubt. That Comstock voted against an abortion funding amendment, hailed at the time by pro-life groups as absolutely "necessary" to protect innocent lives, is also not in doubt. Her reason for that vote, however, is still in doubt.
The voters of Northern Virginia deserve an honest answer.

Knife-wielding Calif. man killed after stabbing SWAT member
Police learned that the holed-up man may have had access to a rifle and ammunition that was hidden in the house
By Eric Kurhi
San Jose Mercury News
PACIFICA, Calif. — A man was shot and killed by officers Tuesday evening after he stabbed a SWAT team member as the squad rushed into a San Pedro Avenue home following a six-hour standoff that started when family members reported the suspect acting erratically shortly before noon, police said.
Pacifica police were called to the 300 block of San Pedro Avenue when family members said the 34-year-old man was in the backyard exhibiting paranoid behavior, possibly armed with an ax.
Arriving officers found the man, who would not obey commands from police and brandished the ax at them. They tried to take him into custody but the man ran into his home and barricaded himself inside, police said.
Police learned that the holed-up man may have had access to a rifle and ammunition that was hidden in the house, and surrounding homes were evacuated as a precaution. Police tried to communicate with the man, at one point throwing a phone into the residence for him to pick up as well as talking through a public address system.
They got no response. By this time, Pacifica police had been joined by the Daly City SWAT team.
After unsuccessfully using unspecified "distraction devices" to try and get the man out of the house, officers went in, which is when one was stabbed by the suspect, who had armed himself with a knife.
"In defense of the injured SWAT member the suspect was fired upon and was determined deceased at the scene," according to a police news release.
The injured officer was taken to a hospital for treatment with wounds that are not considered life-threatening.
No additional information was available late Tuesday, and the matter is under investigation by Pacifica and Daly City police as well as the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.

Commented on Actually It's About Ethics
That's a really convoluted joke, then. And one that is incredibly difficult to convey in images since rarely does one image accurately depict a villain's motive (and thus allow a connection between the text and the image).
Then there's the strawman element…

Commented on Actually It's About Ethics
>as a humorous response
That would imply it's actually funny. Maybe it just flew over my head, but I'm not seeing the comedy. Is it supposed to be a juxtaposition? Satire? Strawman? What?

BJ'S BLOG 09/05/12 "Empty Nest Syndrome"
by BJ Shea
posted Sep 5 2012 8:46AM
Yesterday during Group Therapy, we read a Facebook message from a Rock-A-Holic named Chris who was having a problem that happens in almost every family.
Chris and his brother are both in their 20's and living on their own. The problem they are having is that their mom constantly worries that they are upset with her if they don't talk to her every few days. She also says that she wishes that she could afford a big house for them to all live in.
What Chris wanted to know was how to tell his mom to go enjoy her life without needing her kids around constantly.
This is a very common problem and the empty nest syndrome is a difficult thing to go through but by the sound of his message, she doesn't have a husband or boyfriend there to help her through this tough time.
Around the time the kids leave, women not only have to deal with that but they are also possibly dealing with menopause so it's up to the husband/boyfriend to be there for their lady to get through this.
The best thing I ever did was separate my wife and son because we have all since become really close but I helped my wife out with the process.
One Rock-A-Holic called in and said that he should help her find group activates with women her own age so she can bond and have fun with them. That is an excellent idea as well; what ever happened to women forming groups to help and support their fellow women?
As much as I understand how much people who moved for the first time appreciate their new found freedom, Chris has to know that even with a text here or there would mean the world to his mom.

General Information
As they weather the current economic storm, will our governments and societies address the basic needs and aspirations of the least well-off?
The ability of a society to provide for the health, education, and well-being of citizens—particularly for the most vulnerable—is a cardinal indicator of how well it governs itself. Relevant issues and investments range from the reform of national health and education systems to the design of transportation plans for local communities.

Richard Reeves looks at the stark "parenting gap" between children raised in affluent and poor homes, seeing that college-educated parents beget college-educated children, and argues that we need to strengthen alternative routes to success.
