Critical Essay by Barbara T. Christian
SOURCE: "We Are the Ones That We Have Been Waiting For: Political Content in Alice Walker's Novels," in Women's Studies International Forum, Vol. 9, No. 4, 1986, pp. 421-26.
In the following essay, Christian discusses the interdependence of individual and societal change in Walker's novels.
Because women are expected to keep silent about their close escapes I will not keep silent.
—(Walker, 1979)
There is no question that Alice Walker's works are directed towards effecting social change, that she is a writer with political intent. Black women writers have little choice in this regard. Even if they could manage blindness, deafness to the state of black people, their status, as black, female, writer, a triple affliction, would, at some point, force them to at least consider the effect of societal forces on the lives of individuals. I make this bold-faced statement at the beginning of this essay on political content in Walker's novels, because it seems to me that our supposedly most radical avant garde critics seem to consist upon the unimportance of external reality, that the text ought to be dispersed, deconstructed—that writers do not mean what they write, do not even know what they write, that language is devoid of meaning, and is primarily a system of signs that refer to other signs rather than to anything that exists. Probably many of these critics would agree, if they thought they could say it aloud, that the best text would be silence, and that such a term as a political writer is a backward reactionary one.
I am particularly concerned with emphasizing my disagreement with this point of view, since I believe it would demolish much of the tradition (a bad word, I am told) of Afro-American writers, who have always had to refer to that reality out there which has its all too real foot on their necks. Further, for women, whatever their race, who have been silenced for so long, the very essence of this supposedly radical literary theory would reduce their words to sound and fury without meaning. It strikes me ironic that as groups who have traditionally been silenced begin to 'penetrate' the literary market, we learn that neither the world nor meaning exists. That a text is but a reference to other texts.
Like many other black women writers, Walker intends her works to effect something in the world. That is why she speaks and that is why she writes. But in her work, intention is not the only political factor. The process of political changing, the envisioning of social transforming is central to her work. Her forms, themes, imagery, critiques are marked by her belief in a coherent yet developing philosophy of life (an ideology in other words), which has some relationship to external reality. Her works are not merely her fictions, they are her fictions in relation to the world.
The core of her works is clearly her focus on black women, on the freedom allowed them as an indicator of the health of our entire society. This focus may seem a simple one. But if one considers the reality of black women's conditions in American society, her focus must involve a complexity of vision, if that condition is to be probed. In looking at what it means to be a black woman in the world, one must confront the vortex of sexism, racism, poverty so integrated that the parts of the whole can hardly be separated.
Many of Walker's literary ancestors had attempted to illuminate one part of this vortex, racism, primarily because of the tremendous oppression black women and men have suffered because of their race. But in so doing these writers have not consciously probed the salient fact, that racism is most invidiously expressed in sexist terms and that often the forms used most effectively by racist institutions are based on this interrelationship. Thus, the slave was to relate to the master, the black to the white, as woman was to relate to man, in a submissive, obedient manner essentially, as a role to the real person, who was master, white, male. I wrote about this construct in Black Women Novelists by analysing the patriarchal plantation system, the major ideology that buttressed American slavery. And last year, I discussed this interrelationship as an underlying theme in all of black women's Fiction, though often unconsciously perceived by the writers themselves.
But Walker is certainly conscious about demonstrating the relationship between these two oppressions. One reason why her maternal ancestors had not approached this interrelationship was their fear that the other, the powerful other, whites, were listening, could read their published works, and that any critique of the behavior of black people would further be used by whites to further oppress the race. Walker, however, insists on placing black people at the center of her work both as subject and as audience. In portraying the sexism that exists in black communities and demonstrating its relationship, though not source in racism, she is speaking to her community about itself and its many participants. Walker's focus is itself an important political one, a breaking of silence which overthrows the oppressive stance fostered by racism, that white people are all that is important, that they are to blame for everything, that black people have no responsibility to themselves, their families, their institutions. Like Audre Lorde, another contemporary Afro-American woman poet, Walker proclaims that speaking the truth is necessary to survival, especially for those of us who were not meant to survive.
Walker's critiquing of her own community, her demonstration of the relationship between sexism and racism is already focal in her first novel, The Third Life of Grange Copeland which was published in 1970. At a time when the prominent black writers of the day emphasized confrontation between the beleaguered black community and the powerful white society, Walker's novel showed how that confrontation affects the relationships between black women, men, and children in other words the family. If the family is the core of the community, within which values are nurtured, the place where black people relate to each other on the most intimate level, then one needs to look at that interaction in order to discuss political reality, political possibility. As in her other two novels, Meridian and The Color Purple, Walker traces the development of three generations of a black family. In contrast to her second and third, however the focus in Grange Copeland is on the Copeland men, their mistaken acceptance of the definition of maleness as power, an attribute they cannot possibly attain and how that results in their brutalization of their wives and children.
This subject was certainly a taboo one in the early 1970s since black writers were intent on idealizing nationhood. What Walker did was to show how racism is capable of distorting the individual's relationship to his own kin, because he is encouraged to blame everything on the white folks and not accept responsibility for his own actions. No nationhood was possible if violence in the family persisted. Too, she does not hesitate to expose the destruction of black women by their own relations. But Walker also shows the coming to consciousness of Grange Copeland in this novel, his awareness that his resistance against whites must begin with his love of himself and his own family. This is a part of the novel that many who condemn it for its pessimism refuse to acknowledge, stunned as they are by a critique that they do not wish to confront. Yet this coming to consciousness is an essential part of every Walker novel—an integral part of her political statement.
Walker's first novel is an indicator of her political stance, but also of her insights into political process. As in her other two novels, Grange Copeland also analyses how economic struggle is linked to racism and sexism for the people she focuses on are southern sharecroppers. Her protagonists must contend with the restrictiveness of the economic order, of capitalism on their lives, even as they do not understand its nature. The effects of capitalism on the southern black family cannot be understood only in terms of the present. Thus all her novels span generations, in other words, are rooted in history.
The process by which Walker interweaves the overall history of the Copeland family with the story of each generation of that family is an important aspect of her political vision. She uses quilting, a Southern womanist form, as a model for her first novel. Just as her maternal ancestors took bits of waste material and transformed them into patterned works, at once useful and beautiful, so Walker stitches together motifs repeated in each generation into a coherent pattern. Thus we are able to see how essential the motifs of racist terror and sexual violence are to the pattern of this family's history. Only when Grange learns to love himself and his granddaughter Ruth is the destructive pattern changed and a regenerative pattern begun. Even so the force of the previous history is so strong that the old pattern of destruction threatens the new one, as Brownfield Copeland attempts to destroy his father, Grange. By concluding the novel with the appearance of Civil Rights workers, Walker suggests the necessity not only for the personal change that Grange Copeland undergoes, but also that the pattern of this quilt will not be changed for long unless social change begins to occur.
Paradoxically, although Walker uses a womanist form in her first novel, the adult Copeland women are destroyed precisely because they do not understand the social forces that are arrayed against them as black women. Convinced by their culture that they can be 'the perfect wife' regardless of their economic and social context, they are defeated by the men in their own families, as well as by white society. Walker courageously opposes the widespread belief that black women always 'endure,' as she shows how terrifying are the oppressions that assail them. Such a portrayal was practically heresy in 1970, when black women were being continually exalted for their superhuman ability to survive anything, the implication being that they did not need, as urgently as others, relief from their condition. Although Margaret and Mem Copeland are destroyed, Ruth, the girl-woman of the Copelands' third generation has the possibility of surviving for she is given by her grandfather the knowledge about her culture and about white society that she will need. As importantly, she has a greater possibility of 'surviving whole' because asocial movement against racism may affect her life.
This historical dimension which is prevalent not only in Grange Copeland but in all of Walker's novels enables her to analyse the process by which the social order becomes oppressive, particularly of black women while giving her the space to show how they come to consciousness about the nature of their condition. Paradoxically, even as she focuses on the intimate relationships between black women and men, black parents and children, black women and black women, she is able to relate the quality of these relationships to the larger sweep of history. And her novels show, through this historical dimension, not only the repression that blacks have suffered but also their resistance to it. Thus a knowledge of their own history is one source for the coming to consciousness that her protagonists go through, a reminder that black people before them, black women before them have resisted powerful attempts of dehumanization. History, too, is an impetus for black women, a source of their understanding of their right to be themselves whatever the prevailing black ideology may be, as well as an indicator of the often painful process through which they must go to retain their integrity as human beings. Since much of the 'history' that is written omits black women, Walker and her sisters who write are reclaiming that history even as they create visions of new alternatives. And in so doing, they are primary political actors.

Meridian, Walker's second novel, is an even more graphic illustration of the importance of herstory to black women's lives. One of the novel's major themes is both a rich critique of the ideology of black motherhood in this country and a celebration of the true meanings of motherhood. By tracing the history of black people, not through battles or legislation, but in terms of the lives of mothers, Walker demonstrates how motherhood is 'an angle of seeing life,' of valuing all life, of resisting all that might destroy it—in other words that motherhood is not merely a biological state but an attitude towards life.
Even as she probes the meaning of motherhood, Walker's use of herstory also allows her to highlight the insidious ways in which both black and white society restrict, punish individual mothers even as they canonize motherhood. The political meaning of this analysis is tantamount to the freeing of woman, who solely has the potential of being a mother, and who has, for much of the world's history, been reduced to that role. Walker then, extends the definition of womanhood beyond the restrictive definition of biological motherhood, even as she beautifully expands the meaning of that state.
But Walker also extends the true meaning of mother, of cherishing life, to that of the revolutionary. For the novel Meridian relates this attitude to the spiritual/political principles of the Civil Rights movement, a social movement opposed to violence, the destruction of life, even as it had violence inflicted upon its members by the ruling classes. Meridian poses a major political question: 'When is it right to kill? Why isn't revolutionary murder, murder?' How does the acceptance of the culture of violence effect those who struggle for positive social transformation. 'What would the music be like?' It is a question critical to our world when revolutions sometimes self-destruct, and when sometimes the only actual change after a political revolution is a changing of the guards. Walker of course does not fully resolve the question but she does probe its meaning reminding us that those who consider killing in order to effect change must prepare themselves to go through their own personal revolution—that social change is impossible without personal change. The flawed Meridian pursues the question of revolutionary violence in the novel, an issue she can perceive, because from her point of view she has violated life at its deepest level. Because she feels guilt about giving up her son to others and about aborting her second pregnancy, Meridian is propelled on a search for spiritual and political health. Having sinned against biological motherhood, she becomes a mother by 'expanding her mind with action' which is directed toward the preservation of all life.
Meridian's form is itself a graphic image of revolution. It is both circular and ascending, the meaning of the word meridian, as Walker intersects the personal histories of Meridian, Truman and Lynne, actors in the Civil Rights movement, with the collective history of black people. Within this form, Walker carefully connects bits and pieces of these histories, as she creates an even more intricate quilt in this second novel. The meridian-like movement of the novel indicates a process of coming to consciousness for Meridian, which Truman at the end of the novel, can use as a source of inspiration and process if he is to become whole. In Meridian then, Walker suggests a process for all those who seek social change. Meridian must go backward in time in order to move forward beyond the point that she is at, continually seeking the connections between her personal history and communal history. It is through this process that Walker the writer is able to show the interrelationship of sexism, racism and economic deprivation not only on individuals and their families but also on the political movements they create. And how, as well, these areas of oppression must be struggled through, rather than ignored or talked out of existence. Only then is ascension possible.
The Nature of this Flower Is to Bloom
Rebellious. Living.
Against the Elemental Crush.
A Song of Color
For Deserving Eyes.
Blooming Gloriously
For its Self.
Revolutionary Petunia.
The forms that Walker creates then have political content. Perhaps, even more than Meridian, the form of her most recent novel, The Color Purple is dramatically political, for she employs a technique that is both associated with every day life and with women. The Color Purple is written entirely in letters. Not only is this a tour de force for Walker, the novelist, letters along with diaries were the only forms allowed women to record their herstory. Letters both express Celie's view of herself and her view of the world even as they show her development from a victimized girl to a woman who becomes strong enough to change her condition and to love herself. Letters are both a source of subjective information, Celie's feelings about herself, and objective information, the world in which she moves. Letters proclaim the woman-centered focus of this novel, a political statement in itself.
Also Walker distinguishes her woman protagonist as a black women by her language. Like Walker's other two novels, Color Purple traces three generations of a family, most emphatically this time from a woman's point of view. Like Grange Copeland the novel is a story about a rural Southern family, though not sharecroppers but small landowners. But Color Purple is distinguished from these other two novels by its use of black folk language which too develops in complexity as Celie becomes stronger, more articulate, older. By using this language in contrast to standard English, Walker affirms the value of Afro-American culture. This is no small political assertion. Attempts are always made to discredit the language of a people in order to discredit them; for it is in their language that a people's values are expressed. If there is any significant idea (and there are many) that Walker has learned from her literary maternal ancestor Zora Neale Hurston, it is this one.
Perhaps the most obvious measure of The Color Purple's political direction is the novel's focus on sexism within the black community. This is not a new subject for Walker. All her work exposes how sexism, is, tragically, a part of black mores, a question of power in the black community as it is in all other human cultures we know. But in The Color Purple, Walker protests incest, a taboo subject in the black community. Just as she approached in 1970 the taboo subject of family violence in Grange Copeland, in 1976 the myth of black motherhood and the idea that revolutionary violence should at least be questioned in Meridian, in 1983 Walker again approached a taboo subject among black ideologues. Her exposing of incest in The Color Purple has precipitated more discussion within her community on sexism than ever before, as Walker insists that black people adhere to the value of life for black women. By critiquing her community she affirms our right to take responsibility for ourselves, by speaking to her community as her audience, she demonstrates how central black people are to her vision.
As if breaking the silence about incest in black families were not enough, the intrepid Walker gives Color Purple a distinctly womanist thrust by having Celie triumph over brutality, wife-beating, incest—through her sisters—through Shug who becomes her lover and friend, through Nellie her blood sister who writes letters to her from Africa, and whose letters she finally can answer, and through Sophie, her sister-in-law who resists her husband as well as white peoples' attempts to beat her down. Again Walker explores another taboo subject, for physical as well as spiritual love between women is the core of the novel. By presenting this love as natural and freeing, Walker protests homophobia in the black community. Sisterhood among women is Color Purple's theme and form as Walker proclaims bonding among black women as a necessary ingredient if we are to be free.
Walker, however does not ignore racism among women. Through Sophie's experience with the Mayor's wife which results in this black woman being jailed and taken away from her children, Walker questions whether sisterhood across racial lines is possible until white women descend from the unnatural pedestal they stand on and eliminate racism in themselves. But Walker also insists that sexism, though affected by racism is not derived from it. Nellie's sections in Africa has as one of their focus, the sexism African women are afflicted with as Walker exposes another taboo subject amongst black ideologues. Nellie's sections also emphasize the impact of colonialism and imperialism on African peoples as Walker protests in one bold stroke the doctrine of white supremacy and capitalist expansion.
But Color Purple goes beyond the protest of sexism, racism, and homophobia. Perhaps the novel's most significant contribution to Walker's expanding political vision is the pivotal role the erotic plays in Celie's movement toward freedom. The title of the novel itself is a celebration of the beauty, the pleasure of living and how that celebration is at the core of spiritual and political growth. It is through Celie's awareness of her right to the passion, creativity, satisfaction possible in life that she empowers herself. Once she experiences the erotic, the sharing of joy, she fights for her right to participate in it. Celie's story beautifully exemplifies Audre Lorde's words in her essay 'The Uses of the Erotic, the Erotic as Power':
In touch with the erotic I become less willing to accept powerlessness or those other supplied states of being which are not native to one such as resignation, despair, self-effacement, depression, self-denial.
Like Lorde, Celie comes to demand from all of her life—her relationships, her work, whatever she is engaged in—that deep satisfaction. In guiding her to that knowledge Shug, her friend and lover, helps Celie to initiate change in all these aspects of her life. And in changing herself, Celie helps to change her entire community. Political change in The Color Purple occurs because of life-affirmation. From my point of view then one of the most important political statements of Color Purple is its emphasis on the right to happiness for even the most oppressed of us all, for poor black women, and that our happiness can be imagined, pursued, achieved through the growing strength of the community of black women:
We are the Ones We have been Waiting for.
From her first novel, The Third Life of Grange Copeland to her most recent, The Color Purple, Walker shows how lasting political change is impossible without personal transformation. But she also emphasizes in her work that personal change is inevitably linked to a community of changers. The individual cannot effect lasting change for the self without some corresponding societal change. And for Walker, personal change is most indelibly achieved through the process of working for change with others.
In Grange Copeland, change begins to occur for the Copeland family when Grange, like so many others, goes North, the traditional escape for Southern blacks since slavery. When he discovers, as did so many others, the ineffectiveness of this solution he begins to work for change in his granddaughter's life in the South. But though his personal transformation has meaning, he is killed by the system he opposes. In ending the novel with Civil Rights workers, a growing community of changers, Walker suggests that other Granges are beginning to come together in their need and desire to change their society. Walker's second novel Meridian explores that historical development for the novel is as much about the principles of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements as it is about her characters. Meridian, her major protagonist, both affirms and challenges the underlying concepts of these movements of the 60s. As a black woman, as a black mother, she struggles to be free within herself even as she encounters sexism, elitism, violence within the Movement. The themes of The Color Purple build on Meridian's pilgrimage to freedom, for Walker's most recent novel explores basic tenets of the women's movement of the 1970s. Thus she protests violence against women and racist violence among women, while celebrating the bonding that women must develop in their struggles to achieve selfhood. Too, she expands feminist thought by placing the erotic, the right to satisfaction in women's lives at the center of the novel. Black women loving each together and working together are the community of changers in The Color Purple, through which individual black women and men come to demand and experience more of life.
Walker therefore scrutinizes historical movements that have had significant effects on the lives of black women. In celebrating these movements she both celebrates and critiques them. Walker's peculiar sound as a political writer has much to do with her contrariness, her willingness at all turns to challenge the fashionable beliefs of the day, to examine them in the light of black women's herstory, of her own experiences, and of dearly won principles that she has previously challenged and absorbed. It is significant that 'the survival whole' of black people which Walker focused on in Grange Copeland is extended to the value of life she illuminated in Meridian and is further developed into the relationship between freedom and happiness in Color Purple, particularly for her women characters. While Margaret Copeland and men are destroyed in The Third Life of Grange Copeland, Meridian 'expands her mind with action.' But in pursuit of spiritual health, Meridian goes through a period of 'madness,' paralysis of the body, then self-abnegation. Celie completes the cycle of Walker's women. Like Mem Copeland she is physically abused; like Meridian she goes through a painful period of healing. Celie however comes to full bloom in her entire self, physically and spiritually.
Survival whole—the value of all life—the right to happiness—these are increments in an ever-expanding philosophy of Walker's fiction. And for her, these goals can only be imagined as possible, pursued, and believed in, if we take responsibility for ourselves, and undergo the process of struggle historically, personally and collectively necessary to make ourselves physically, passionately, spiritually healthy. Only then can we achieve a sense of the oneness of creation, as symbolized by the color purple. Further, for Walker, black women must do this for themselves and each other, if the unnatural hierarchies of sexism, racism, and economic exploitation are to be eliminated: 'We are the ones we have been waiting for.'

Tom Cruise movie headed for Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS Universal Pictures is returning to the Bayou State next month for its next big project - an action thriller with sci-fi elements and starring Tom Cruise.
The name of the project and other details are under wraps, but one thing Universal executives are willing to say: Louisiana has served them well when it comes to making movies.
Louisiana was the filming site of such Universal projects as 2005's "The Skeleton Key" with Kate Hudson; 2009's "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" with John C. Reilly and Salma Hayek; the now-showing action film "Contraband" starring Mark Wahlberg; and the sci-fi action film "Battleship," which is due out in theaters on May 18.
"It is a wonderful place to make films," said Andrew Fenady, Universal's president of physical production, who oversees all aspects of physical production, including budgeting, scheduling, hiring crews and managing day-to-day operations.
Filming on the untitled Tom Cruise project is set to begin mid-March in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Fenady said. The film will co-star actresses Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko. Filming will last a little more than a month in Baton Rouge and just under two weeks in New Orleans.
It won't be Cruise's first time working in Louisiana, but it will be the "Mission Impossible" star's first time back for film work in a while. Cruise starred with Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst in 1994's "Interview with a Vampire," which was filmed in New Orleans and other parts of south Louisiana.
Cruise will be joining a growing list of A-list actors working in Louisiana this year.
Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley are expected to arrive next month for the filming of "Ender's Game," an adaptation by Summit Entertainment of Orson Scott Card's best-selling novel of the same name.
Diane Slattery, a spokeswoman for the project, said production on "Ender's Game" will begin in New Orleans in March and run through June.
Actor and comedian Will Ferrell has been in Louisiana for weeks for the filming of "Dog Fight," and he'll be in New Orleans the Sunday before Mardi Gras to reign as the god of wine during the Bacchus parade Feb. 19.
Other movies filming in New Orleans are "Broken City," with Wahlberg and Russell Crowe and "Now You See Me," with Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. The Quentin Tarantino-directed film "Django Unchained," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Foxx, is set to begin filming in New Orleans this month.
Besides the state's generous film tax credit program, Louisiana's film infrastructure with its deep crew base and numerous studios attract movie-makers, Fenady said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
While there are other states offering film tax incentives, Louisiana is unique because of the stability and longevity of its program, Fenady said.
Louisiana's tax credit program was launched in 2002 and has since hosted hundreds of film and TV projects. In 2009, the state decided to make its tax credit permanent and increase the benefits to 30 percent. Originally, the statute cut the incentive to 20 percent with plans to eventually reduce it again to 15 percent.

A legal expert has reportedly predicted a guilty verdict for Oscar Pistorius in the ongoing murder trial at the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria after texts from the Paralympian's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp saying she was scared of his jealous rages were read out in the court.
Messages presented in court showed the model was forced to defend herself after Pistorius accused her of flirting with other men, with one of the texts being she is scared of how Pistorius snaps and reacts at her sometimes.
According to the Daily Star, Steenkamp also sent a text to Pistorius saying that both of them are living in a 'double standard relationship' as she does everything to make him happy while he does everything to throw tantrums.
Legal expert William Booth predicted a guilty verdict in the case, saying that a person who shot four bullets in the toilet has to be sure that he is going to hit someone.
The report mentioned that mobile phone expert Captain Francois Moller told the court that he had analysed 1,700 texts between Steenkamp and the Blade Runner.

Spot clean
posted 6 years ago
Oxy is great smelling spot cleaner that does the trick. I have to admit that this is not my favorite cleaner. While it smells great it takes quite a bit of cleaner and time to get stains out.
Pros: Great scent
Cons: Slow removal

10.08.05 - By John Way: On August 13th, former lightweight spoiler Ubaldo Hernandez will engage in fisticuffs with Matt Zegan of Poland. In 2001 this fight would have been a scintillating match-up with two superbly fit, power punching fighters. Unfortunately, this is 2005, and Ubaldo is desperately in need of a reality check, as he is set to humiliate himself. There is little doubt that Team Zegan seeks to pad their charges record with Hernandez' once prestigious name, while knowing that he poses almost no threat at all..
Hernandez has not won a significant fight since 2001 when he shocked the hard core boxing world by sending prospect Ebo Elder to queer street in the first round. Sadly, it has been all down hill since then, with the Mexican only winning three fights since then, signaling to everyone except the fighter himself, that the time has come to hang em up. No long the crowd-pleasing bomber who famously sent Juan Diaz to the canvas several years ago, he continues to ruin a once impressive ledger, which now stands at 19-16-2 with 10KO's. His last win came seven fights ago when he scored a second round victory over professional loser Henry Cokes (5-12). Before that, he dropped every round to Vivian Harris in twelve brutal stanzas, and then put up a game effort to Miguel Cotto, before capitulating in the seventh.
Since the win over Henry, he has lost every fight, and almost every round of his last six contests. Still, he was losing to okay opposition like Rolando Reyes and Fransisco Lorenzo, so as long as he put up a fight, no one cared if he lost. That all changed when Marco Angel Perez hit him with everything short of the bible last December, in a fight that saw him completely frustrated by a man who failed to last half a round with Julio Diaz. To everyone still in denial about the state of Ubaldo's fighting career, Juan Urango conveniently provided irrefutable proof that Hernandez should quit, when "Twin Irons" sent him to the canvas twice in two rounds. The powerful prospect made Hernandez look totally inept, with the veteran wholly failing to defend himself from his opponents hard charging attack.
This Saturday, the shaggy dog story continues as he faces 35-1 Zegan in a mismatch of almost unrivaled proportions. One has to wonder why sports writers are whining for Thomas Hearns and Evander Holyfield to quit, while silently permitting wholesale slaughters like this to occur. Here's to hoping that someone reads about this travesty, and pulls the plug on the whole depressing affair. Comments are welcome below.

Re: Nvidia + Matrox TripleHead2Go with resolution 5040x1050!
i was planning to try out a triple head as you setup first then perhaps get a second TH2G for for the 4th screen, i don't believe my LCDs support 57hz,all depends no how well the gtx260 can keep up with my usage...
the Xinerama bug is here:
for the testing i did for that had 3 screens hooked up to attempt to isolate the bug as initially i wasn't sure if it was a session boundary or gpu boundary issue. thus far it appears to be directly triggered by an animated cursor passing over an X session boundary. Its much more likely to occur as graphics load increases as its more likely the cursor rendering doesn't leave the animated cursor code path before it crosses a boundary.
a common use case for me is winXP in vmware full screen on 1 monitor. 2 windows that are run under wine and are 3d accelerated (pcb/schematic software if i'm working or 2 x eve-online clients if i'm playing) then "support windows" spread about, firefox, pidgin, gkrelln, pdfs, amarok, etc. Not uncommon for me to have mplayer up with a movie on while working as well. Under this load i'm not nearly cpu bound but 2D performance suffers terribly. QT apps like amarok (note: i use gnome not kde) become a complete slide show and firefox scrolls in lock step on some sites (slashdot) and i have to be very careful with added windows, a couple firefox windows and a few pdfs open and the system starts to have intermittent 'hangs' meaning the screen locks up for a few seconds but the processes are not locked up, its purely graphical.
it also appears that with this setup performance degrades over time, after a while i could close almost everything and mplayer can't manage to play a movie without stuttering or occasionally playing in a pulse like manor, i.e. the framerate isn't constant but "wobbles" tho the audio doesn't resulting in desync, etc. closing everything but mplayer or even restarting mplayer does not fix this. I have to reboot X.
my usage is odd in that i tend to run a couple apps using 3d/opengl that aren't terribly stressful by modern standards and a ton that are 2d only and not using opengl.
180.22 has improved the situation to what i described above, with 177 i couldn't get away with half as many windows open..

Chelsea held off a stirring second-half fightback by London rival Arsenal to claim a 2-1 win on Sunday, tightening its grip on third place in the Premier League. Juan Mata's excellent finish and a penalty from Frank Lampard gave Chelsea a two-goal lead after only 16 minutes, with Arsenal outclassed in the first half. The visitors showed huge improvement in the second half and Theo Walcott's 58th-minute goal offered them hope of at least a draw under gentle but regular snowfall at Stamford Bridge. However, Chelsea hung on desperately for only its third win in eight home matches under interim manager Rafa Benitez. Arsenal stayed sixth, 11 points behind Chelsea but with a game in hand in the fight for Champions League qualification.

Guest Book
|A superior American Federal, or Hepplewhite Neo-classical mahogany and inlaid sideboard, from Baltimore or New York City, circa 1790-1800. The present sideboard is in a remarkable state of preservation, and contains no major repairs or restorations of note. The color and finish are choice and a delight to the connoisseur. The architectural plan of this piece comes directly from The London Cabinet Makers Union Book of Prices, a widely distributed publication printed in three issues, all of which were familiar and used by American Federal or Neo-classical cabinetmakers during the years 1785-1820 on case pieces and tables. This graceful sideboard contains very elegant floral and urn inlays at the top of each leg style, accented with a light green background that was most likely made in the city of Baltimore, where there was an abundance of inlay specialists who exported their wares throughout the eastern seaboard. The sideboard has two serpentine doors that are flanked by convex, rather than concave ends. The dovetails on this sideboard are exceptionally precise, as are the general construction details, which is very typical of New York Citys finest cabinetmakers work, which was exceedingly competitive. With such precision attention to these details, and overall workman-like design, it is quite possibly that an attribution could be made at a later date to a specific shop or maker. However, attributions by even the most advanced scholar should be approached with caution and considered tenuous at best. With the lack of a makers label, signature, or original receipt of purchase, no authorship should be made, or considered proof-positive. CONDITION: As has been stated, the sideboard remains in a remarkable state of original preservation, retaining an old, and mellow, amber colored French polished shellac finish. The top contains no patches and there are no notable repairs.

A lot of "outlaw" chatter coming from the Country Music Hall of Fame lately. Their last "All for the Hall" concert had an outlaw theme. Bobby Bare and "Cowboy" Jack were just announced as inductees. Me thinks maybe there is a possibility that the next primary exhibit after The Bakersfield Sound runs its course could be on the outlaws.
Of course, for at least some of us the "outlaw" business has been more of an oversold, over-told, overstated branding joke gone stale, than anything else, and by now yammering about incessantly it is country's equivalent of punk nostalgia in rock– tedious, and somewhat ironically so. . If nobody uttered the word "outlaw" till it maybe meant something more meaningful and specific than, say, "he's young, he's a tree surgeon, and he's breaking all the rules" Hollywood posturing sales crap, I know I wouldn't mind.
Might take decades and they'd have to find some fresh, working rules to break
I kinda like the new chorus to "Banks of the Ohio" that Chris Jones provides. It's … singable.
Darn, no more Thursday Night Classic Country Opry's until October! Now what am I going to do?…(lol)
I've owned Sara Petite's "Circus Comes to Town" since I saw her live a couple of months ago and it has some killer tracks. Her lead guitarist is a young guy who can get some interesting sounds out of his axe. Good stuff.
Speaking of Todd Snider, he joined the band Great American Taxi on stage at last night's Music City Roots show. I have never listened to Great American Taxi's music before, but that is one heck of a tight group of top notch musicians who can sound like the Allman Brothers on one song and a hillbilly band on the next. With Chip Taylor and Aoife O'Donovan also on the docket, that was a truly exceptional MCR.
I was never much of a fan of the "Outlaw Movement" in country music and care about even less about it these days. Yawn…

I just stumbled on this video from Marie-Pierre Belanger about EMC Smarts and OpsMgr 2007 integrated solution.
Key Technology ingredients:
Stefan Stranger found an interesting video on network aware service management with the integration solution
I've been trying to find out more info on EMC Smarts and how Microsoft are planning to use the licensed technology in Operations Manager 2007 R2 for quite some time. Apparently Microsoft use EMC SMARTS in house for their network monitoring?
From what I can tell, the discovery technology from SMARTS will be embedded in the SCOM2007 R2 product and will give network maps etc. But the bits that do the proper fault/problem identification will still need to be purchased from EMC as a plug-in.
Here's another slide show from EMC, not giving much away.
Very little info out there on what this product looks like!

Atlantium Technologies' UV System Provides U.S. Dairy Processors With the Equivalent to Heat-Pasteurized Water
HAR TUV, Israel, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Atlantium Technologies, an Israeli-based water technologies company, today announced that its Hydro Optic Disinfection(TM) ultraviolet (UV) light water pasteurization and disinfection systems are now commercially available for use for regulatory compliance in the U.S. dairy industry. The announcement by Atlantium comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finalized the 2009 Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), and issued the IMS-a-47. The new rules include criteria for the use of UV to provide disinfected and pasteurized equivalent water in dairy processing. Atlantium's system is the only off-the-shelf UV system validated for all the criteria required by the PMO.
Ensuring that both products and equipment are kept free of water-borne pathogens is an ongoing challenge for dairy processors. Atlantium's environmentally-friendly Hydro-Optic Disinfection systems deliver unprecedented protection against pathogens present in water, a critical component of dairy processes. Energy-efficient and chemical-free, Atlantium's system ensures high quality, safe water at a lower cost than traditional thermal pasteurization, and now can be used to comply with the PMO requirements for pasteurized water. In addition, Atlantium's fully automated monitoring and control software and electronic recordkeeping meet PMO requirements and automatically adjust to meet fluctuating water conditions, which reduces down-time and labor costs.
"We are very pleased that the FDA has finalized the 2009 PMO, which sets meaningful criteria for UV water pasteurization and disinfection in U.S. dairy processing," said Yoni Glickman, chief executive officer of Atlantium Technologies. "The 2009 PMO opens the way for U.S. dairy processors to replace heat pasteurization of water with energy-efficient, chemical-free UV technology. Atlantium's Hydro-Optic system is the industry's only off-the-shelf UV product that meets all the PMO requirements."
Every two years, the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) reviews the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PM0), which includes the procedures and regulations governing the safe supply of Grade A milk and milk products to U.S. consumers. The NCIMS voted in April 2009 on revisions to the PMO, which now allow the use of UV to disinfect and pasteurize water in dairy processing, based on rigorous measurement criteria. The FDA finalized the 2009 PMO, releasing the new provisions to the public on October 14, 2009, paving the way for the use of UV for water disinfection and pasteurization in the U.S. dairy industry.
"The effective date of the new provisions in the 2009 PMO is no later than one year after the electronic publication of the 2009 PMO or the notification to the States of the changes by memo (IMS-a) from FDA, depending on each individual state," explained Raymond Lynn Young, of Milk Regulatory Consultants, LLC , one of three FDA Third-Party Certifiers. "However, this kind of provision, which can save dairies money and energy, is often allowed to be used by State Program Managers soon after publication."
"Atlantium's Hydro Optic Disinfection System has made a big impact on efficiency and overall quality at our Uniontown plant," said Tim Griglack, director of all operations, United Dairy, Inc. The United Uniontown, Penn. facility is one of the first plants to adopt the system for pasteurized equivalent water.
"We've been using the Atlantium system to provide pasteurized equivalent water for nearly 10 months and in that short time have realized savings in terms of filling line operator ease and efficiencies. The best part is that it makes our lives simpler, and the water is so much better after the reactor," Griglack added.
"Because our plant processes such a wide variety of products, we use a tremendous amount of water to flush equipment between products. With Atlantium's Hydro Optic Disinfection UV system, we no longer have to store water and then shut down if the storage tank is empty," said Mark Duray, chief operating officer at Galliker's Dairy in Johnstown, Penn., another of the sites using the system for complying with PMO regulations. "With the Atlantium system, pasteurized-equivalent water is always ready on demand. As a result, we are able to add more products to the line on any given day, exponentially boosting our efficiency. And we are saving energy and money, too."
About Atlantium
Founded in 2003, Atlantium Technologies provides water-dependent industries, such as dairy, food and beverage and aquaculture, as well as municipalities, with ultraviolet-based water pasteurization and disinfection technology to meet the growing need for superior, safe water. The company's Hydro-Optic Disinfection(TM) solutions deliver unprecedented microbial inactivation, taking cost-effective and environmentally-friendly water disinfection to levels never before achieved without chemicals.
Atlantium's Hydro-Optic Disinfection system is field proven and validated according to stringent U.S. EPA protocols and the FDA's recently updated dairy regulations. The company enjoys an international customer base, with installations in the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Demand for testing services lifts full-year earnings at Vicom
Published on Feb 6, 2013 6:27 PM
VEHICLE testing company Vicom today reported a 5.2 per cent rise in full year net profit to $26.4 million on the back of a 7 per cent rise in revenue to $97.1 million, due to higher business volume.
Operating profit for the year to Dec 31 was up 5.9 per cent at $31.8 million.
However, taxation surged by 12.7 per cent to $5.2 million due to higher profits this year as well as lower taxes paid in 2011 as it benefited from the enhanced capital allowances under the productivity and innovation credit scheme.
Earnings per share grew to 29.95 cents from 28.73 cents previously while net asset value per share increased to 132.1 cents compared to 120.02 cents as of June 30.

Authorities launch DWI crackdown
CORPUS CHRISTI - Law enforcement officials are asking drunken drivers to make a choice — ride in a cab or ride in a patrol car.
The police department has received a $5,000 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation to pay overtime to patrol officers looking for drunken drivers in a statewide crackdown from Aug. 20 through Sept. 6.
To make the message clear, the Texas Department of Transportation is putting up billboards featuring a half-taxi cab, half-patrol car.
"I know that I and anyone else who puts on a uniform, have been to numerous accidents where someone has altered their life and someone else's life forever because they decided to drink and drive," Police Chief Troy Riggs said Monday at a kickoff event for the annual initiative.
Last year 955 Texans were killed in drunken driving accidents and more than 17,500 were injured. Corpus Christi police have made 596 DWI arrests so far this year, up 36 percent from the same time last year.
In addition to more officers on the streets, authorities will implement no refusal weekends and weekdays, which allows officers to obtain search warrants for blood evidence if a suspected drunken driver refuses a breath test. A judge must first find probable cause.
District Attorney Anna Jimenez said her office plans to follow through on convictions for all DWI cases.
"People who drink and drive are full of excuses: We aren't going very far or I can't pay for a cab," Jimenez said.
"But excuses won't work when you are stopped by a police officer. And it's no consolation when a drunken driver injures or kills someone's family member."
Plus, a DWI charge can be very expensive, to the tune of $17,000 or more.
"With court costs, attorney fees, probation costs, driver's license fees and increased insurance costs, a cab ride doesn't sound so expensive when you add it all up," said John Casey, Texas Department of Transportation engineer.
Riggs said several of the police department's commanders plan to visit bars to educate patrons about the dangers of driving under the influence.
"Make sure you make it home safely and don't get behind the wheel if you've been drinking," Jimenez said.
"If not, thousands of police, state troopers and sheriff's deputies will be out on the road to stop you."

Event Name- OR - Select an option below
This is Jehangir Mehta's follow-up to Graffiti, located on the ground floor of the Duane Street Hotel. Small plates keep company with larger, main dish portions on the menu, and eclectic influences fly--you might eat simple shrimp kabobs seasoned with Indian kalonji seeds, or slurp oysters encrusted with pop rocks. The lamb shank in an aromatic, sweetish masala paste is a good choice, as is the coarsely chopped beef tartare with avocado sorbet.

Thanks to the Russellville Independent school district for allowing us to use the gym at RHS and WRUS and the News-Democrat & Leader for getting the word out. And an especially big thank you to Arby's for providing coupons for all our participants.

1978 BEST Italian Restaurant
There was so much dissension on the staff over this one that our only solution was to choose a fabulous little place fifty miles away. It has no checkered tablecloths (no noncheckered tablecloths either), no murals or Muzak. What it does have is excellent food—baked veal chops, homemade escarole soup, gnocchi, and various daily specials—at prices that belong at a cafe in the foothills of the Apennines.

I have lived and worked in the British Virgin Islands since 1984, living and working as some of the BVI's most iconic private islands and hotels. I am currently at Little Thatch Island with Katy, my wife and our 2 children, Alex and Charlie.??I bought Limeberry House in 1994 and set about making it one of the most popular villa rentals in the BVI we have had hundreds of very happy guests some who have now become firm friends.

Left on May 16, 2014 for a stay in April 2014
My husband and I along with another couple rented Limeberry House for a week in late April, early May 2014 and could not have been more pleased with our selection. From the very first contact, Jonathan, the owner, was quick to respond, personable and extremely accommodating and that great and attentive property management was the same for the entire visit. We were met at the ferry in West End …

My wife and I have been blessed with the ability to travel many places and have rented several villas over the years. However, I must say we have never experienced such exceptional hospitality as we did at Limeberry Villa! The villa was everything we expected and more. It is even more impressive in person than it is in the photographs. We were a party of four couples and couldn't have asked for a…

Comments Thread For: Amir Khan on Julio Diaz: I Can't Afford To Lose at Home
AMIR KHAN admits he has taken a pay cut for his UK return in his next fight against Mexican Julio Diaz.
The former world light-welterweight champion wanted to fight in Britain for the first time in two years.His last four bouts have taken place in America.
Khan expects to box in front of a sell-out 12,000 crowd at Sheffields *Motorpoint Arena on April 27.
But no TV deal has yet been confirmed and he will bank less than his recent Stateside bouts.
And Bolton-born Khan, 26, admits his career would be in doubt if he suffers a third defeat in four fights against Diaz, 33.

Unless he loses to a world-class fighter in his prime he can't really rebuild at all, nor is it worth it.
It's curtains if Diaz takes him out.
What's he suppose to do then? Become a stepping stone for someone like Frankie Gavin?

Firstly I've paid to go watch Khan live 3 times. Secondly He's fighting pillow fisted Diaz at catchweight so technically He's about to be fighing in the same weight class as Brook and thirdly he should of fought Brook last time out instead he fought a guy TWO weight classes below him.!!!!!!!! WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS KHAN AINT THAT GOOD, He showed promise early on but he simply can't take a punch...........FACT

I am so grateful, Amir.
"I'm taking a little pay cut because I respect them"
Oh Amir, I am so grateful. Jesus, Goldenboy have blown so much smoke up his a$$ he has no idea that he sounds like a complete cunt every time he speaks.
Unbelievable arrogance since saying that he was going to sell out Sheffield and that it was a laugh in Kell Brooks face. What a twat.
If he was as exciting when he talks as he is when he fights, he would be a legend in the UK. I really hope sales are crap for this fight.

'For every Windows 7 user who's having trouble installing the update
for Battle of Endor and Battle of Yavin, this is how you can solve it.
As you all know, Windows 7 has 2 Program Files: Program Files (Where all
normal files go) and Program Files (x86) (In this location, the files
that require a 32-bit program, go in here)
When installing the update in the Program Files
(x86)/StarWars_BattleOf***_v**, the program installs all files there and
it doesn't seem that there is a problem.
But there's actually a problem.
Now, I checked an X file containing
all data of a ship, the textures are targeting C:\Program
Files\StarWars_BattleOf***_v** even when the game is installed in
C:\Program Files (x86)\StarWars_BattleOf***_v** (That's mainly because I
think that the creator of these updates doesn't have Windows7)
So for all you windows 7 users out there, just install the game into
your normal C:\Program Files. It will solve all the problems and you
can play the game just fine
This is the full game of starwars Battle of Endor. Please note that this is not my game, I only upload it so my mods will work.
