Early in his tenure as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolinas 3rd District, former U.S. Rep. Butler Derrick, D-S.C., was pleasantly surprised to learn that one of the nations leading liberal issues group had given his voting record high marks on what it considered key progressive and liberal issues of the day. In fact, Butler was amused that the groups rating found him tied with his Democratic colleague, the late Bella Abzug. She was a flamboyant feminist and ultra-liberal member of the House from New York.
As a loyal staffer for Butler at the time, I felt that I needed to remind him of the political reality of such a public comparison. I pointed out to him that Bella Abzug represented the Upper West Side of Manhattan, while he represented the conservative Whiskey Road area of Aiken County. His reaction to my statement was simply a flash of his trademark wry smile, and perhaps a little extra twinkle in his eyes accompanying that smile. Yes, my friend Butler was proud of the fact that he was a progressive Southern Democrat representing a conservative district from 1975 to 1995 that was transforming itself into the solid Republican district that it is today.
Butler successfully served 10 terms in Congress because his constituents recognized that he was a person of integrity and honesty, and that he cared about the issues that were important to their lives.
They recognized that he was a true public servant who believed in his obligation to them regardless of politics. They recognized he had a tremendous sense of fair play, and that he could comfortably separate right from wrong and then stand by his convictions.
They seemed to understand how he could champion the Savannah River Site in Aiken, but also try to limit the amount of nuclear waste stored in our state. They understood how he could relentlessly fight for the textile industry and its thousands of jobs, but also question the need for the Russell Dam project. They could see that Derrick always stayed true to himself.
That recognition as a person of conviction, and a public official who stood by his beliefs, brought several hundred family, friends and admirers to his funeral in Trenton in Edgefield County on May 12. They were young and old, black and white, Democrats and Republicans. There were many accolades recognizing his public service career in South Carolina and Washington, his compassion for the people of the 3rd District, his ability to get along, and his always warm and genuine demeanor. They were all richly deserved, and certainly all would have been shunned by Derrick.
His devotion to his family was well known to most of the persons in Trenton, as was the exceptional personal courage he possessed, whether in making tough decisions on issues or inspiring family and friends more recently during his battle with cancer. The beautiful service was a true celebration of his life and career. It was clear to all that Butler Derrick lived a wonderful life of caring and service to his state, his nation, and his fellow men and women.
John D. Gregory is a Columbia attorney. He served as Butler Derricks administrative assistant from 1975 to 1982.

Once a port of embarkation for crusaders travelling to the Holy Land, Brindisi, along with Taranto and Bari, now forms part of the industrial "triangle" of southern Italy.

text: Media Internet-on-your-TV startup Boxee raises $16.5M March 1, 2011 5:00 AM Anthony Ha 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Boxee, the New York startup that finally started shipping its much-anticipated streaming video device the Boxee Box last November, just announced that it has raised $16.5 million in new funding. Boxee started out with software that users could download to their computers, then connect those computers to their TVs to watch online video. But the long-term goal was always to make the service available on set-top boxes and other devices for your TV. The company describes the Boxee Box (which is manufactured by D-Link) as "the one box your TV needs" — and now that it supports Netflix, that claim has a little more weight. A company spokesman said Boxee plans to use the new funding to grow the product development team, to add more content, and to sign up more partners to create Boxee devices. As a measure of how the company has expanded since Boxee last raised money in 2009, the company said it has gone from 12 to 34 employees, and that its software has gone from a super-early alpha test to version 1.0. Boxee now has 1.6 million users overall. Back after that last round, I wondered if Boxee was a little ahead of its time, and if the demand for Web content on TVs just wasn't there yet. Founder and chief executive Avner Ronen told me that a generation gap was developing, with younger viewers seeing the Internet as the center of their entertainment. That seems to have been borne out in the last year, with lots of big players jumping on this trend, with the launch of the Google TV and a revamp of the Apple TV. So how can Boxee avoid getting squashed by the competition? Well, the company's website lists a number of selling points over Apple TV, including content beyond iTunes, higher-resolution HD, and the ability to play most file formats. Ronen has also said that he sees Google TV as complementary to Boxee. The funding comes from new investors Pitango and Softbank, as well as existing backers General Catalyst, Spark Capital, and Union Square Ventures. Boxee has now raised a total of $26.5 million in funding.

No way! You're easy-going & enjoy good food too? No wonder we're 80 % compatible! ;)
Gotta grab your attention! Ok, I've been described as confident, comfortable, genuine, & an entertaining story-teller. I'm a social creature who enjoys learning what people are all about and how they arrived at where they are today. I'm mainly on this site for dating, but I've also made a handful of great friends too. I'm looking for someone with interesting perspectives and positive attitudes towards life. I've gone on some fun dates since moving to CA two years ago and have notice a reoccurring pattern with my dates: - They are often surprised how comfortable I am at approaching & talking to women about any subject. This is mainly because of my upbringing but more on that later... - I prefer to be tactfully honest and upfront - "real" so to speak. This is often appreciated but surprising apparently. - Even if we get along over email or the phone, that may not mean anything until we actually meet. This is one reason why I prefer to meet sooner rather than later. - I don't believe romance is dead. It's just hiding only to surprise at the right times. - I haven't had many bad dates, but the ones that were involved women who weren't open to friendship, weren't upfront with me, or were arrogant & never actually asked me anything with substance. About my date: I find that the more I date, the shorter my checklist of "requirements" becomes. Every woman has her own strengths & charm, but ultimately I am simply looking for someone to share great chemistry. I'd love to experience the sense of "the sum is greater than the parts". What I am doing: I'm an advocate of working hard to play hard. You can often find me trying new restaurants, going to art shows/festivals, playing pool with friends or challenging strangers, or going for a jog in the East Bay. Random things I dislike: eggplant - something about the texture; wind chill (sometimes I do not miss Chicago); snowboard whiplash; bugs the size of my fist - pretty disturbing; trying to get the last drops of a drink and having the ice fly into my face. Message/wink me if you're into great food, drinks, & conversation with depth. I don't believe in favoriting so I wink to keep u in my history. I'll try and follow up with an email soon but if you're busy, just wink back & we'll sync up.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, mediaweek.co.uk, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 10:50AM
The app will offer consumers daily postings and 60 back-editions of the lifestyle magazine.
The app is advertiser-funded and commercial opportunities for advertisers include a brand hub where advertisers can showcase their brand and products in detail.
Features of the app include daily postings, such as blogs, columns and interviews and access to most magazine features and columns before they appear in print.
It has been launched specifically for the iPad but sources said it could be extended to other tablets.
The FT is running a dual strategy regarding its various brand apps.
Last month, the FT removed its core newspaper app from Apple's store, as it was unwilling to meet Apple's requirements-to retain subscriber data and a 30% cut of subscriptions sold through the App store.
However a number of FT apps, such as its Chinese issue, are available at the Apple store.
Gillian de Bon, How To Spend It editor, said: "When we designed this, our first questions was why adopt a print-styled published edition format when we can organise content logically and allow readers to search their favourite subjects, columns and writers?"
How to Spend It is a weekly magazine published with the Financial Times Weekend Edition. The magazine has been published for the past 16 years and its articles are focused on high-end topics, such as yachts and mansions.
The How to Spend It app can now be downloaded from Apple iTunes store.

I have a console app that runs absolutely fine manually, but when it is executed by SQL Server Agent it fails to run at all and also spits out a strange error message as follows:-
Executed as user: I01SVTD21\SYSTEM.
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.Console.GetBufferInfo(Boolean throwOnNoConsole, Boolean& succeeded)
at System.Console.Clear()
at ActiveDirectoryImport.Program.SendReports()
at ActiveDirectoryImport.Program.GetUserInfo()
at ActiveDirectoryImport.Program.Main(String[] args).
Process Exit Code 255. The step failed.
Now this may not appear like a strange error message at first, until you realise that ActiveDirectoryImport.Program.SendReports() is the last method called by ActiveDirectoryImport.Program.GetUserInfo() so it seems like most of the code has run. However this is not the case as one of the first things the code does is update records in a database table, which has not happened.....
So I am left with two questions. Why is the job failing at all when it runs fine from the same location manually? and, Why is it telling me that it is failing late on in the code when it clearly has not got that far?
The console app does write to the console screen but takes no user input. It basically writes the status of the application to the screen and this is seemingly erroring....
Any help is appreciated.

Last year's scoring champion showed up in full force against the Houston Rockets. Carmelo Anthony shot 17-for-30, poured in 45 points, and hauled in 10 rebounds. Easily Anthony's best performance of the season, he kept the Knicks in the game and gave them a chance to win in the end.
His three-pointer that would've tied the game and sent him to the free throw line with a chance to give the Knicks a lead with five seconds to go was ruled off after the officials determined James Harden's foul came before the shot. Regardless, Melo made an emphatic statement on Thursday night. He's back and ready to lead the Knicks into the playoffs.

ESPN to Air 2014 GILLETTE HOME RUN DERBY, 7/14
ESPN will televise the 2014 Gillette Home Run Derby Monday, July 14, at 8 p.m. ET from Target Field in Minneapolis. This will mark the 22nd consecutive year ESPN has aired the Home Run Derby, which is also available on ESPN Radio, ESPN DEPORTES and WatchESPN.
Jose Bautista (Toronto Blue Jays) and Troy Tulowitzki (Colorado Rockies) will serve as Home Run Derby captains. Both players made their Derby team selections on the 6 p.m. edition of SportsCenter on Tuesday, July 8. Yoenis Cespedes (Oakland Athletics), Adam Jones (Baltimore Orioles) and Brian Dozier (Minnesota Twins) will represent the American League while Giancarlo Stanton (Miami Marlins), Yasiel Puig (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Todd Frazier (Cincinnati Reds) will represent the National League. The final competitor in each league will be announced on Thursday, July 10.
Major League Baseball will debut a new format for the Derby this year, which features a maximum of seven outs per round and bracketed play after the first round. The player who hits the most home runs in each league in the first round will automatically receive a bye to the third round (Semi-Finals). The next two players from each league with the most home runs will square off against one another in a head-to-head matchup in the second round. The winners of these matchups will advance to the third round to face-off against their league's top seed. The final round will feature the winners of the A.L. and N.L. Semi-Finals matchups going head-to-head for the 2014 crown.
Gillette Home Run Derby Commentators
ESPN's Chris Berman will host the Gillette Home Run Derby telecast with Sunday Night Baseball analyst and three-time All-Star John Kruk. ESPN MLB Insiders Buster Olney and Pedro Gomez will provide reports and interviews with MLB All-Stars and Derby participants.
ESPN Production Highlights
· Recording artist Aloe Blacc will open the show performing "Can You Do This," followed by a production tease set to a cover of Blacc's "Come Fly With Me" showcasing how the Home Run Derby evokes the childlike wonder of the long ball;
· The new ability to display multiple home run icons on the screen at the same time will provide a visual recap of all home runs hit in previous at-bat(s) by a single competitor or hit by all competitors in a round;
· New technology will display a slugger's "wheelhouse" after at-bats by superimposing images of every home run swing at the point of contact;
· On-screen graphics will almost immediately mark the exact landing distance of a home run baseball from home plate with a display of the projected distance the ball would have traveled had it not been impeded;
· The telecast will also integrate ESPN Ball Track Technology with a virtual spray chart of home runs after participants have finished their at-bats.
Baseball Tonight & SportsCenter
A special one-hour Baseball Tonight from the ballpark will begin at 7 p.m. leading into the Derby. Host Karl Ravech will be joined by analyst, Hall of Famer and 12-time All-Star Barry Larkin, analyst Aaron Boone and ESPN MLB Insiders Buster Olney and Tim Kurkjian. The crew will reconvene for a post-Derby Baseball Tonight telecast at 1 a.m. on Monday and again following the 2014 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 15, at 1 a.m. SportsCenter will also be on site at Target Field with live segments beginning at 1 p.m. on Monday and continuing through the conclusion of the All-Star Game.

Notts County Ladies 5 Aston Villa Ladies 0: Continental Cup match report
Posted: April 30, 2014|
FIVE goals, a clean sheet and top of their Continental Cup group, Notts County Ladies and their manager Rick Passmoor enjoyed a pretty perfect night at Meadow Lane.
A terrific first-half performance, which saw them take a 4-0 lead into the break, dismantled the challenge of Aston Villa and in doing so maintained their unbeaten start to the season.
It only served to underline the gulf between the Women's Super League and its Premier League relative, but it is often said in football that you can only beat what is put in front of you.
In the end, professionalism killed Villa's hope of an upset and with the brilliant Jess Clarke catching the eye, the visitors' best hope of a win was replacing the ball with one controlled by a remote.

Her two goals underlined a dominant performance with Notts continuing to look a very promising team in their first ever season since their move from Lincoln.
And any fears they would struggle without the goals of injured star striker Ellen White are disappearing by the week.
Having gone into this game on the back of a 2-0 win at Portsmouth in the FA Cup, Notts were largely unchanged.
The only two players to miss out from that Pompey victory was Amy Turner, who was replaced by Laura-Jayne O'Neill, while Emily Roberts was preferred to Katie Holtham.
With Villa in the Women's Premier League National Division, a step below the WSL, Notts Ladies manager Passmoor knew coming into this game that his side possessed the quality to unlock the visitors' defence.
And after only three minutes his side were ahead thanks to the blistering pace of Clarke, who burst to the byline and stood a cross up towards the penalty spot.
Hurtling in to meet it was Dunia Susi, who, having been left totally unmarked, sent a looping header over the stranded Caitlin Leach.
The goal merely reinforced that Villa were in for a long night and it was not long before Notts had carved open the visitors' defence again as they doubled their lead.
Good work from Katie Hoyle sent Emily Robert free inside the area and she had the presence of mind to cut the ball back to the waiting Clarke, who scuffed a shot into the far corner.
It was now damage limitation for Villa, but Passmoor's side kept on coming and you sensed it would not be long before they were celebrating a third goal.
It duly arrived in the 24th minute with Rachel Corsie doing brilliantly to get to the byline and float a cross to the back post.
With Villa ball watching, Caitlin Friend cruised into the box to cushion a volley beyond Leach who looked as though she was pining for the final whistle.
To their credit, Villa kept plugging away and only the woodwork stopped them from pulling a goal back as Beth Merrick cracked the upright.
But back came Notts and through Clarke, whose pace was a superb outlet, they nearly scored a fourth when she crossed for Friend, who was denied by a brilliant reaction save from Leach.
They did make it 4-0 ten minutes later, Susi rounding Leach and firing into the net.
And the game's narrative did not look as if it was about the change as, for the start of the second half, Notts continued where they left off.
They should have really made it 5-0 when Susi burst clean through with Clarke surging upfield in support.
She opted to go it alone, but struck her shot straight at Leach.
With Villa's legs tiring, Notts looked much sharper as time ticked by.
Susi had a goal ruled out for offside, but the Lady Magpies were not to be denied as they saved the best for last.
A wonderful pass from Rachel Corsie sent Clarke clear and she produced an exquisite finish with the outside of her right foot to seal an impressive performance by the Magpies.
Notts Ladies: Telford, Walton (Turner 62), Corsie, Bradley, O'Neill, Hoyle (Haywood 73), Scott, Roberts, Susi, Friend, Clarke (Sweetman-Kirk 85). Unused subs: Draycott, Walker.
Aston Villa Ladies: Leach, Cusack, Walker, McCue, Vaughan, Richards, Mayling, Moran, Ferguson, Jones, Merrick (Davies 58). Subs not used: Parker, Crackle, Baker, Petrovic, Bryant, Robinson.

Saint George Things to Do
New River Beach
I was truly amazed by this place. It is a less renown Provincial park on the south coast of New-Brunswick. I didn't even know about it until my girlfriend told me about it. This park has a great beach,walking trails, a campground and just an overall relaxing atmosphere. A great place to chill out for the day or spend a few ngihts. (See travelogues for more pics).
$24/day (with electricity)
Whether you choose to do it on foot, or with a gentle drive - you should explore the roads and byways around St. George. If you're into peaceful scenery and the occasional close brush with wildlife, you'll enjoy looking the place over.
The beautiful little doe pictured below was take from Mascarene Road, maybe 1 km away from our bed and breakfast.
The Falls
These falls are located right in the middle of St-George. They are not only falls but also a conservation location for fish. The guy we met there said that it is used to help migrate a sort of hareng which enabled them to reproduce.
Saint George Restaurants
The Birch Grove Restaurant: A great family place over at Black's...
The Birch Grove was another "local" recommendation we received from our B&B hostess, Deenie Wilson. It was another terrific local find, and we enjoyed our meal in Black's Harbour.
Basically, this is a family restaurant. It's got a little bit of "local diner" in their makeup and they also feature tasty homemade desserts of all kinds. As you'd guess - seafood is a big item on the menu, there were several choices. They also had staples such as meatloaf and fried chicken. They also have quite a few burger selections.
This restaurant is over in Black's Harbour, which was about 10 miles from St. George. It's not difficult to access from the TransCanada Route 1.
Favorite Dish: I had some (more) haddock on my visit to the Birch Grove. (I LOVE haddock - such a tasty fish when served hot and fresh)
Sara had a big bowl of the seafood chowder and Bonnie had a salad.
We all tried the soup of the day, which went by the banal title of "hamburger soup". While that name may put you off a bit, let me assure you.... it was darned good. The best way I'd describe it as a heart homemade soup, the kind of fill that would warm you up on a cold New Brunswick (or for that matter Florida) winter's afternoon. Lots of veggies and a thick, meaty broth. Very good.
We all tried the homemade cherry cheesecake - a good choice.
Comeau's Seafood Restaurant: Local seafood - sizzling and fresh
Comeau's Seafood restaurant is one of the places recommended to us by local innkeeper Deenie Wilson. She told us that they had excellent fresh seafood, prepared simply and served in bountiful quantities.
She was absolutely on point in every way. This is a friendly, simple little place where you can get yourself a nice fresh plate of clams, or scallops, or haddock, or whatever. The basic plan is to take the freshest seafood you'll find and then fry it to a golden brown, delivering it to the customer's table still sizzling. (Watch out, it's hot) Add some excellent french fries and some tasty cole slaw and voila.... you have a perfect night out in New Brunswick. Oh OK, if you're in need of serious five-star cuisine, place-settings with three or four forks and waiters in tuxedo, then.... Comeau "ain't" your place. But we're one of those families who appreciate the places that the locals love, and that is Comeau's in a nutshell.
Comeau's is technically NOT in St. George. It's out on the TransCanada Route 1, one stop east (back towards St John) of the NB 172 turnoff to St. George. The official "place" that Comeau's calls home is Pennfield, NB. From what I see, Pennfield consists of a couple of stores and a gas station. I didn't see a traffic light. :)
Allow me to quote someone from another site. This was written by a reviewer named Frank Bean over on the restaurantica.com website. Something tells me that Frank and I would click instantly, at least from a standpoint of good eating. :) Here's what he wrote...
"This is one of those mythical truck stop restaurants that actually exits. Don't let the exterior put you off. We stop every year on our trip to and from PEI vacation. Best fried clams I've had in over 30 years. Wife, mother-in-law-and daughter rave about fish & chips. Pies good. Pleasant staff."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Frank. Hope our paths cross someday.
Favorite Dish: We all went local seafood, and here's what we had:
I went with a haddock + scallops plate, Sara had shrimp, and Bonnie chose a fish-burger. Bon's burger turned out to be more than she expected... I think she thought it would be a fish cake style offering, but basically it was a crusty bun with several pieces of sizzling fried fish within.
On accompaniments, we all did cole slaw (we love cole slaw). I also had chips - french fries to we Americans. And Sara went outside the box and had sweet potato fries.
We also sampled the local blueberry pie with ice cream - a simple pleasure and very tasty.

He's a devil-may-care lad of the forest, she's haughty nobility. Their different worlds soon collide. Pampered Lady Elizabeth is kidnapped during a ride in the forest. Young Galen, a carefree lad of the forest, arrives to defeat the ruffians and rescue her. Elizabeth, far from grateful, decides to lock Galen in her father's dungeon. Her father, the Baron, soon sets the young man free but charges him to protect Elizabeth from an apparent conspiracy. Galen and Elizabeth reluctantly agree to the arrangement, but her former captors lure Galen to the old stable and attack him. The real perpetrator is right inside the castle and proves sly and devious. Elizabeth's attitude toward Galen begins to change but she is again captured. Galen, now smitten, sets out again to free her. A brutal battle ensues in an abandoned monastery where Elizabeth and her father are held prisoner. Galen barely triumphs, ultimately saving them. Then the two young folk, now admitting their love, face the biggest challenge yet. How can commoner Galen expect to wed Elizabeth, an heiress of noble blood? Excerpt: "I want to believe you," he said softly. "I know not why, but I need to believe you." "I know," she whispered wondering why she felt so strange whenever Galen was near her. "But I would never break my word to you or anyone." "You bewitch me, m'lady. All reason abandons me whenever you are close. Why is that?" Women had never been a part of Galen's life and his emotions now were a mass of confusion. They stood in silence for a long moment as neither knew what to say nor do. Elizabeth could feel her heart beating wildly in her chest as madness overtook her and she dropped the cloak exposing her lovely body, covered only by a thin chemise beneath. Galen could not believe his eyes. He was soon lost in the smooth, soft texture of her skin and those full red lips. He fought for control, but it was useless. In a dizzy moment of pain and passion he pulled her close and kissed her. Tenderly at first, but then with a fever they both felt, but neither could control.

[50 minutes]
Reviewed by John Smythe, 17 May 2013
In this its fifth year of operation, EnsembleImpact is reviving the season it premiered in 2009. While it still represents a good cross-section of New Zealand play writing over the half-century since Bruce Mason secured his position as New Zealand's pre-eminent modern playwright, it is important to note that reverting to this programme does not in any way suggest that few good new plays have premiered in the years since (see below).*
This year's ensemble – Andrew Patterson, Ria Simmons, Carrie Green and Joe Dekkers-Reihana – directed by Emma Robinson, make manifesting 37 very different roles in excerpts from an eclectic selection of 16 plays look easy, such is their talent, skill and preparedness. The focus is therefore squarely on the characters, relationships and works in question.
And many a question should be provoked by this show. If a Q&A with the Ensemble does not follow a given performance, it is to be hoped discussion will occur between the students and their teachers – who will need to be well prepared. There is some powerful material being sampled here and some of it, taken out of the context of the whole play, could be quite disturbing and even seen as morally questionable.
The Study Guide replicates the programme, has photos of the playwrights, profiles the actors, summarises different staging conventions, displays a selection of covers of Play Press and Playmarket script publications, backgrounds NZ Theatre: 'A Potted History of Us', backgrounds EnsembleImpact and displays their sponsor's logos.
The show itself does not identify the plays being sampled. And beyond the pithy summaries in the programme (which I trust each school will print off and give to each student attending) there are no synopses of the complete plays, so we have to hope a student will be delegated to read each play and report back to their class on the context of each excerpt. (I have had to search and research quite a lot in order to write this review.)
But it's not just about these particular plays. A major benefit of the EnsembleImpact operation is that it makes New Zealand students aware that there is plenty of source material in our own lives and histories from which to create theatre – and hopefully some will be inspired to do just that.
She'll Be Write is presented with great fluency in the traverse, with minimal costume elements and props. Following a brief and friendly welcome from Carrie Green, Andrew Patterson – all smiles – kicks off with the prologue from Bruce Mason's iconic The End of the Golden Weather, happily characterising the arrival of the settlers, their slashing of the bush, their banishing of the natives and their prayerfulness: "my heritage, my world."
We leap a couple of decades to a scene in which a passionate young Māori man, Api (Joe Dekkers-Reihana) declares his love for Flo (Ria Simmons), an English woman with no family here apart from the mistress of the household she serves. It is because she has "the spirit of God" that he is attracted to her. This is from The Bellbird by Stephen Sinclair (and consulting the Playmarket website is a good way to get a sense of the outcome).
The question of whose side God is on arises in the dialogue between a Boer prisoner, Johann (Patterson) and his Ngapuhi/Irish captor, John (Dekkers-Reihana) from Matthew Saville's Kikia te Poa. The potent judgements and accusations made in this scene should provoke good discussion on racism.
An angry Iris (Simmons) also has "some things to say" to the body of her dead husband, Ben. Wednesday to Come by Renée is set in the 1930s Depression, opening up the whole question of class conflict. It also addresses the selfishness of suicide.
Conflict on the rugby field and over what it is to be a man comes under scrutiny in the famous "Whaddarya?" epilogue to Greg McGee's seminal Foreskin's Lament, delivered by the identity-seeking Foreskin (Patterson).
The law demands attention in When Sun and Moon Collide by Briar Grace-Smith, as policewoman Travis (Green) attempts to question café-owner Isaac (Patterson) and ex-convict Declan (Dekkers-Reihana) because "someone did over the church." (The major mystery in this play, however, involves the disappearance of a Danish backpacker couple).
The dreadful crime at the centre of Michelanne Forster's Daughters of Heaven has just been committed when Pauline Parker (Simmons) and Juliet Hulme (Green) reveal themselves as teenage fantasists, while a Lawyer (Dekkers-Reihana) reveals the enormity of their crime.
Female versus male minds come under further scrutiny when the dubious nature of Freudian psychotherapy is exposed by Jean Betts in The Misandrist, as Rebecca (Simmons) and Raffia (Green) analyse the Cinderella myth.
Hamlet (Patterson) makes a surprise entrance in this anthology of New Zealand plays until we realise this is Sarah Delahunty's revisiting of classical tragic heroes in 2b or nt 2b. His exchange with Antigone (Green) and Helena (Dekkers-Reihana) may well revitalise interest in the classics.
Bullying is unnervingly characterised in a scene between Elliot (Simmons), Gareth (Dekkers-Reihana) and Felix (Patterson) from Hate Crimes by Paul Rothwell.
The eternal mother-daughter conflict comes to the fore in a post-Christmas dinner scene at the sink between Brenda (Simmons) and her pregnant daughter Raewyn (Green), from Robert Lord's episodic family saga Joyful and Triumphant. "You hate me because I had sex with a Māori!" is put into clear perspective when the actress playing Raewyn is herself Māori.
Racism if further sent up in an excerpt from Niu Sila by Dave Armstrong & Oscar Kightley, where Mrs H (Dekkers-Reihana) complains about "those Islanders" to Peter's Mum (Patterson) – both clad in winceyette dressing gowns. This of course is appropriate because the play is a two-hander for Palagi and Samoan actors. (Note: there is also a large cast schools version.)
The most troubling excerpt is from Gary Henderson's Mo and Jess Kill Susie, where disaffected Dunedin university student Mo (Green) waxes lyrical about killing their hostage to the more brooding Jess (Simmons). It needs to be understood in the context of the no-win nature of such situations, which the play makes clear.
I have to say I was so perturbed by the Mo & Jess piece that I paid scant attention to the excerpt from Children of the Poor: Mervyn Thompson's adaptation of the novel by John A Lee. My sole note suggests it involves a story about "the only thief in Dunedin". (For the record, Dekkers-Reihana plays Albany; Patterson plays a Cop; Simmons plays Rose and Douglas.)
Joe Dekkers-Reihana and Carrie Green perform with great agility on all-fours as farm-dog Blue and city-bitch Doodle respectively, in A Shaggy Dog Story by David Geary. The bum-sniffing will be a guaranteed crowd-pleaser on this tour.
As a primer, presumably, for the critical appraisal EnsembleImpact hopes will follow, the show winds up with an animated four-way discussion from Duncan Sarkies' Conversation Pieces, wherein Penny (Simmons), Quentin (Dekkers-Reihana), Owen (Patterson) and Dave/Donna (Green) critique a play they've just seen called Conversation Pieces. The "That was crap!" / "It was great" exchange may or may not owe something to The Muppets' resident critics Statler and Waldorf.
Beyond the tantalising tastes of the plays themselves and the aforementioned assurance that NZ is rich with material to inspire the creative writer, She'll be Write treats its audience to an exemplary display of ensemble performance.
Individually and together, the quartet nail their characters and interactions, moment by moment, transitioning with extraordinary speed and capturing the essence of each excerpt in a seamlessly modulated flow. They leave their audience with multiple reasons to be excited and inspired.

*A quick survey of the last seven years, not including titles included in other EnsembleImpact programmes, reveals such gems as: Strange Resting Places by Rob Mokaraka & Paolo Rotondo | Peninsula; Homeland by Gary Henderson | Where We Once Belonged adapted by Dave Armstrong from the novel by Sia Figiel | The Intricate Art of Actually Caring by Eli Kent | Collapsing Creation by Arthur Meek | Postal; Katydid by Lucy O'Brien | Slouching Towards Bethlehem; Midnight in Moscow by Dean Parker | I George Nepia by Hone Kouka | The Prospect by Maraea Rakuraku ... and they are just the tip of a substantial and ever-expanding 'iceberg'.

Re: is the nvidia driver falling behind?
You are encouraged to pass objects by const reference, nobody prevents your from doing this. But even if you pass the object by value, you save cpu and memory, because the container does the copy on write.
You ARE NOT encouraged to pass container objects by const reference. Give you a hint, find a public API function in Qt that accepts a constant reference to a Qt container class, same goes for QImage and QPixmap and many others.
There is a big horrible stinking issue with this copy on write business:
1) I cannot tell from a function declaration if a copy does happen, this is horrifyingly bad. I cannot tell from a function declaration at all. Care about performance you care about this a great deal.
2) If I fetch a read only pointer from a Qt container class, save that, and then modify the contents of the Qt container the pointer is not correct. At first such a use case seems artificial but it rears it's ugly head a great deal. This is an issue when using GL, and the Qt GL code has this. QImage using in Qt source looks even funkier, but it is the way it is because of this pass by value-copy-on-write business of Qt. Qt's API is almost all pass by value where as pass by constant reference is the way it should have been.
I would not mind Qt's containter class if the Qt API would accept STL containers, but it does not, at all. Thus to use the Qt API you need to use Qt's container classes which are pretty poor. That Qt started before STL and RTTI(for moc) before they were reliable is a historical reason. That does not change the fact that they are inferior. Worse, STL and RTTI have been reliable for atleast, what, 8 years atleast, plenty of time to replace the Qt container classes with STL ones.
Javascript) Is GTK's Javascript engine faster? Oh wait, there is none.
Exactly, you can choose your javascript. In Qt you MUST use Qt Javascript which is nowadays one of the worse Javascripts around. Sadly, one of Qt's most promising components QML must use Qt Javascript and that will hurt QML's performance, particularly in embedded devices where much of the action is nowadays. Oh wait. Qt's drawing sucks too. The lack of modularity inside of Qt makes it impossible to replace a poor component with a better one.
- e.g. KDevelop provides static analysis to spot connect() errors
Wonderful, to pick up an error that the compiler should pick up I have to use a particular IDE. No dice.
Re: MOC) moc provides way more features than RTTI.
List the features is provides, please do. While listing them think about what it is and how there are better ways to do each of them. At the very least, list them, and I will then tell you.
I suppose you might be referring to this from Qt:
among other bits.
Let me diagnose the failures here, ok.
Firstly adding member functions, or for that matter virtual member functions does not increase the size of an instance of a object in C++ once that object already has virtual member functions.
There are other amazing lines such as this beauty:
"And we can have overloaded signals and slots, which feels natural when programming in a language where overloads are a key concept. "
Priceless. sigc++, boost signals all handle overloaded function calls.
Other bits:
Another benefit is that we can explore an object's signals and slots at runtime. We can establish connections using type-safe call-by-name, without having to know the exact types of the objects we are connecting.
The line of not knowing the exact types, is rich. Can anyone say "base class and virtual methods" Now you can make a case: get function name by string name. This lets you not have the header file to the classes you are connecting. You can also make the case that being able to list the slots and signals of a class at run time and then conneting them. Alas, there are better ways to do this than Qt's system. Much better ways.
The richest sections of that is "Calling Performance is Not Everything". Plenty of signal libraries (such as sigc++ and boost:signal2 do marshalling and all that Qt's object system provides WITHOUT requiring a tool to execute on C++ source code to produce more C++ source code). Oh and runs more efficiently.
Another point is that if you had deleted an object at the other side of a connection, you don't have to worry about a crash from calling a function on a freed object. Epic fail. They have traded a crash for a host of harder to track down object. "I did connect that signal to foo's which connect bar's slot, why is not bar's slot getting called? Oh someone, somewhere deleted foo" The big failure here is that Qt has essentially a broken quasi-garbage collector. It sort of deletes children of objects correctly and calls disconnect for you, but it introduces a great deal of unpleasant surprises.
As they talk about their qdymamic_cast<>, it starts to look even worse.
One point that they totally missed: they added moc to get around C++ deficiencies of over 10 years ago. The need for moc has not existed since g++ 3.x. Another very creepy part: the attitude of trying to provide lots of programming safety in C++, they don't like iterators and more. They miss the point: if you want lots of safety choose a "managed language" such as Java, or many others. The safety provided by Qt is only skin deep and trades crashes for more subtle and harder to diagnose bugs.
One amazing point of honesty that made was that objective C is great, and get this people: Objective C code doing what Qt's signal/slot code does is about 5-10 times more efficient and more flexible. Sighs.
You ranted a lot about Qt, but didn't give a single argument in favor of GTK/GDK. Even more, for some of those "issues", there is not even an equivalent in GTK.
Lets first address a serious issue with Qt, that I stated before: it does many things, but many of those it does very poorly, I would be kind in saying it is a jack of many trades and master of none. Now onto GTK/GDK:
1) Notice GTK and GDK: there is a separate library for separate purposes, moreover GTK/GDK has additional widget libraries with specific purposes. Qt does not. Along the same lines GTK/GDK leverages libraries that are for very specific purposes. In contrast, Qt mostly does not or attempts to completely hide such.
2) With GTK/GDK there is a C interface and a C++ interface through gtkmm, etc. Qt is C++ only AND it is a deviant form of C++ at that.
3) QWidgets and QGraphicsWidgets have many, many flags; in contrast GTK/GDK do not. This is a good thing. Many of the flags for QWidgets and QGraphicsWidgets are poorly documented and their interactions as well. As such, to really see what is going on one has to open up Qt source code. GTK/GDK widgets have no way near as many flags or surprises in using them.
One point that you are completely missing, which to some degree is one of the big points of Unix: make a simple tool or library that does one "thing" and does it well. Qt does many things, and none of them very well. For each component of Qt there are much better alternatives. GTK/GDK gives more options, and oh yes, performs better.
There are so many better tools and ways to accomplish what Qt attempts to do, these ways being faster, more stable, fewer surprises and *ahem* better documented than reading Qt source code.
I would like to see Qt fixed, particularly the drawing stack. However, it is not a matter of fixing so much as re-doing. The Qt containers should be dumped. The internals of Qt need a horrible cleaning up to be better modularized. Qt as a whole needs to be better modularized so that poor performing components can be removed and replaced with better, already existing solutions. Qt layer to such is fine and acceptable. However pretending that Qt is just fine is not acceptable. Put Qt on an embedded device and watch the poor thing crawl. Embedded devices are where the action and future of open source consumer goods are located.

Do Real Estate Agents Have TV Commercials? – What Is The Inside Tract?
Posted by Harrison | Posted in Industry News, Real Estate Commercials | Posted on 06-11-2014
Real estate used to be a very big and booming business. However, do to recent economic times being touch, within the last several years. The real estate market has witnessed in steady decline in sales of residential homes and other properties on the average. Nonetheless, this doesn't mean that the market is not alive, it's just not what it used to be. The prices of residential homes and other properties have also suffered because of the market and prices have been dropped and severely slashed on countless available real estate listings on the market. So, with all of this said, one can only wonder what real estate agents are doing to get business. Do real estate agents have TV commercials? What is the inside tract on this? The answer is one that can be yes and no. Not all real estate agents do use the power of TV to their marketing advantage, you may check This Website to learn how. Nevertheless, there are some of them out there, who do indeed us TV to film their very own TV commercials to sell their properties. Therefore, the answer to this question is one that can be varied, based on each individual real estate agent and just how far he or she will go to sell available properties that they have.
Any form of TV advertising that is smart and very elegant at what they do. Surely can indeed make some excellent TV commercials for both real estate brokerage firms and any R/E service who wants to promote the line of properties that they are desperate to sell in today's economy. Studies do show that customers over 70% are more than likely to purchase a product, service, or whatever else just after seeing a very informative and eye-catching video on it. This is because the power of video has wonderful selling power all its own. Real estate agents who are aggressive when it comes to marketing and sales of their properties will most definitely consider having a TV commercial done if they haven't already. This is because they are sellers at heart and they know how to sell to the very best of their ability where the area of real estate is concerned. Having their very own TV commercial is truly a tool that they can use to their selling advantage where family homes and other key properties are the focus. The power TV and video are two marketing tools that are highly effective when it comes to selling all sorts of things. The real estate market definitely can sell their wares just like anyone else can with a good television commercial of the very best kind.
What is also great about real estate agents getting their own TV commercials is this. They can get as customized with their thirty second TV commercial as they want to. They can feature just certain houses or properties on their list as an example of the many fine properties they do have or they can produce a segment that is just about why their real estate company is the best from the rest. When a real estate agent has their very own TV commercial, it gives them the power of creativity, and the way they want to go to make their marketing something that is very successful in delivery.

Copilot wanted
I grew up in the Midwest and was raised with morals and values...and yes I will open doors and pull out chairs. I have been a Navy Pilot for the majority of my adult life, but I recently left the Navy to start a career in airline aviation. I am excited to finally put down roots in one place and not have the Navy telling me where and when to move. I travel for work and I also love to travel for fun, so I hope you are on board with that! In the winter it is usually a weekend trip or a short getaway to the mountains for skiing! Summertime is usually filled with some random adventures to somewhere new, or somewhere old to visit friends and family. I really am just looking for a good woman who is honest and drama free. Someone to enjoy life with, find new adventures together, share laughs, and build something meaningful that lasts through the good and bad. I am not a fan of girls that always have to spend two hours in front of the mirror. I definitely appreciate a woman who takes care of herself, but it can be even more attractive when you can just throw your hair up and go grab a beer every once in awhile. I love being active, so someone who enjoys a hike and exercising on a regular basis would be a great fit. I think good conversation is very underrated nowadays and I like a girl who has something interesting to say and has an opinion. I can be a goofy smart ass and very sarcastic at times, but Idon't take myself too seriously and hopefully a you won't either. Most importantly I want to find a girl who is happy with herself and has a good self image. Confidence is sexy!! Submitted from mobile

They need to have a good front nine or else they won't be able to catch up with me," he added.Thongchai, a three-time Asian Tour number one, shot a 69 and is tied in second place with Australian rookie Matthew Stieger.The Thai star, who needs to win on Sunday to have a chance of qualifying for next month's Masters, blamed his putting for not scoring lower."I hit a lot of good shots but the greens are killing (me). They are tough to read. "Prayad played so well... He likes the course and he's in form. He's got a good chance. I'll try my best but I'll need luck tomorrow."Stieger shot a fine 68 as he remained bogey-free for the week while Asia's first Major winner Y.E.
