In Defense of Hating Thanksgiving

A View Out: The Search for Identity in 'Cléo from 5 to 7'
In the works of many New Wave auteurs, a sense of alienation often leads to disillusionment. Unlike the pessimism of many of her contemporaries, Agnes Varda views alienation as a quest for identity, one that offers hope and freedom, no matter the uncertainties.

That's another one, give the drummer some
In this case I guess that's me
Lyric Meaning
"Give The Drummer Some" is the debut solo album of Travis Barker (member of Blink-182). He recorded the album in think that he didn't receive enough focus as the drummer and key member of the band. In many ways, Vic is in the same position. Innanetape is his debut solo album after his former project "Kids These Days". Now he is getting some of the fame all for himself, like Barker.
Could also be a reference to the Ultramagnetic MC's song 'Give the Drummer Some'. The drummer's role is to provide the beat, and in this case Vic is saying its him cause he made the beat.

Dr. Michael Pariza, who conducted research on CLA with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, reported in August 2000 to the American Chemical Society that "It doesn't make a big fat cell get little. What it rather does is keep a little fat cell from getting big."
Pariza's research did not find weight loss in his group of 71 overweight people, but what he did find was that when the dieters stopped dieting, and gained back weight, those taking CLA "were more likely to gain muscle and not fat.'' In a separate study conducted at Purdue University in Indiana, CLA was found to improve insulin levels in about two-thirds of diabetic patients, and moderately reduced the blood glucose level and triglyceride levels.

Samsung's Galaxy S line has sold in bunches, and proved that a non-Apple phone can take the smartphone world by storm. But one of the company's biggest game-changers is the Galaxy Note.

Boomerang! synopsis
Connecticut prosecutor Henry Harvey (Dana Andrews), faced with a political maelstrom in the wake of the shooting death of a Catholic priest on a city street corner, feels tremendous pressure to prosecute a vagrant ex-soldier whom Police Chief Robinson (Lee J. Cobb) apprehended in connection with the crime. After the vagrant confesses, it looks to be an open and shut case, but Harvey remains unconvinced and chooses to risk his career in order to discover the truth.

Of course President Obama is not concentrating on campaigning, White House press spokesmen assured us -- as the president headed off to Chicago for three fundraisers and a drop-in at his campaign headquarters, two days after a high-roller fundraising choked off traffic five blocks from the White House, with the assistance of a score of D.C. police cars.
No one, or at least no one who is paying attention, is fooled. It's standard presidential procedure to say you're not absorbed in campaigning even as you go out to raise money every other day. Bill Clinton, in my view, spent an undue amount of time fundraising, George W. Bush spent more, and Barack Obama makes them both look like pikers.
So Obama's scorn for the truth in this regard is only a minor matter. His scorn for the Constitution is something else.
That scorn has been expressed most recently in his "recess" appointments of members of the National Labor Relations Board and the chairmanship of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The quotation marks are appropriate because when he made the appointments the Senate was not in recess as the Constitution requires.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution says that presidential appointments must be confirmed by the Senate unless Congress provides otherwise. But anticipating that the government may need officials when the Senate is unavailable, the section further provides that "the President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of the next session."
What constitutes a recess? Article I, Section 5 reads, "Neither house, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days."
The House did not consent to the adjournment of the Senate this year, so there is no recess, and hence no constitutional authority to make recess appointments.
The White House has belatedly trotted out an opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (headed by a political appointee) saying that the president was justified in considering the Senate in recess, because the sessions it was holding every three days were just pro forma or, in the words of Obama defenders, "gimmicks."
Factually this is flat wrong. At one of those sessions the Senate passed the payroll tax cut extension, an important piece of legislation.

Remembrance DayJournal Entry: Sun Nov 11, 2012, 3:36 AM
- Mood: Love
I think it would be nice if we all took a moment to remember all those who have been lost in war over the years, and the families that have been left behind.
This is a painting that I have done, in tribute to them.

and i would like to show my respect for the soldiers 2...
happy veteran day!
and i would like to show my respect for the soldiers 2...
happy veteran day!
My great great grandfather was trained on the bazooka in WWII and he was one of the brave soldiers who fought on the beach at D-Day. There was a german sniper in a tower and every time the platoon commander would try to take him out, the sniper just shot whoever was sent. So the platoon commander told my great great grandfather to get him with the bazooka. So he did. Once the tower was shot, they sent a runner. The runner ran and made it ok so they knew the sniper was killed. My great great grandfather went up the tower and saw the sniper, dead, and with his helmet off. And in the helmet was a picture of the sniper, his wife, and his children. My great great grandfather grew up without a father and knew what he had done to that family when he shot that bazooka. He left that woman a widow, and those children fatherless. What I want to say is whether you belive in war or not, veterans need to be recognized and thanked. They went through things, and did things for our country that most people arent strong enough to do. I know Im not. They are brave and selfless. They have gained my respect and I am very thankful for them. Same goes for the men and women who are active duty now. I respect and stand behind our military. I also thank military families. They are brave and its rare that they get thank you's when they deserve them. So thank you military.
My grandfather spent 2 years jailed in Hannover (Germany) during the 2nd World War. All prisoners were starved and forced to do hard labor. When the allies invaded Germany, he was freed along with the others and could come back home safely. When he still lived, he used to tell me about those hard times: so many people died right before his eyes, and even after all those years he still cried when he talked about them.
Yes, I don't think people realise the scars that are left, even on those that survive. My father survived the whole of the Second World War, but had nightmares for the rest of his life.
Happy Veteran's day!
Thank you for your support. Happy Veterans Day!

You are very welcome and lovely to meet a real veteran.
Thx, Ann...I retired in 2010 after 26 years of service.
what a beautiful tribute to our soldiers!!!
This is really great of you to say. I think so many people focus on talking about Halloween and Christmas this time of year, everyone seems to forget about remembering our fallen soldiers - it's really heartwarming to see someone still paying respect.
Me, I had my moment of silence at work today in the middle of mucking stalls.... I didn't realize the UK had Remembrance Day too, but I guess it makes sense as when it was established Canada was a colony of yours!

BPOU is an acronym for Basic Political Organizational Unit; the smallest building block of the Republican party. A BPOU may be a county, state house district, or state senate district. Here, it is a county: Olmsted.
The BPOU, or county party, has a constitution by which it abides. A link to ours can be found, below. The county party is run by its Central committee, comprised of precinct officers, the Executive committee, and various at-large members.
The Central committee and, especially, the Executive committee — Exec — ensure that conventions are held, caucuses are run, candidates are fielded, and the party message is sent and received.
Each year, in late Winter or early Spring, a BPOU convention is held. In even numbered years, its main orders of business are election of delegates for congressional district and state conventions, and the presentation, discussion, and voting on resolutions passed at precinct caucuses. Our delegates and alternates can be found on the state house districts page. In odd numbered years, the convention's main orders of business are election of BPOU officers and our representatives to the state party's Central committee, and amendments to our Constitution.

Panic in Loring Park
After settling into a chair at a Dinkytown coffee shop, Chris Valenty sifts delicately through a stack of letters and drawings. Valenty, a 40-year-old musician and record store manager, picks out one of the drawings and carefully flattens it on the table. Like the rest of the batch, the illustration is the work of his late brother, Nickolas Valenty. The macabre scene, rendered in the meticulous pen-and-ink style of Edward Gorey, depicts a woman sitting on a bed, sipping casually from a steaming teacup. A man reclines beside her with a beer in hand. In the foreground, a corpse is sprawled on the floor. The tongue hangs from the mouth in a pool of blood.
The body, Chris explains, is his brother. "He always wore a tweed coat," Chris says by way of explanation. "This was obviously supposed to be him." Valenty found the drawing four years ago, when he went to clean out Nick's apartment after Nick was stabbed to death. "I couldn't ever show it to my mom. It was just too painful," Valenty says of the picture. But he's drawn to it. The surrealistic flourishes—the random inclusion of an armadillo and a pineapple in the scene—remind him of his older brother's eccentric sensibilities.
And then there is the strange quality of prescience in the picture, which is the reason Valenty has picked it out. No one has been charged with Nick's murder. But, Valenty says, a Minneapolis police detective once showed him photos of the prime suspects. It was a couple—a man and a woman, just as Nick imagined in his picture.
However, unlike the scene depicted in the illustration, Nick Valenty, who was 39 at the time of his death, was not killed in his Spruce Place apartment. He was attacked while walking along the eastern edge of Loring Park. Valenty, a former valedictorian at Forest Lake High School, had lived in the area for 15 years. He never had a car or a driver's license, so he walked and bicycled everywhere. While the investigation into the murder stalled, Valenty says, police concluded that it was probably a random robbery.
Like the kin of a lot of murder victims, especially those who've yet to see justice, the Valenty clan has never really recovered from the loss. Valenty puts it bluntly: "Our whole family is screwed up and we will be all our lives." But Valenty's lingering feelings of frustration and sorrow about his brother's death were heightened after he heard about a recent surge of violent robberies in the vicinity of Loring Park. "I wrote to the detective who's working on my brother's murder and asked him what was being done to make the park safer. The only reply I got was that they know who my brother's murderers are and where they are, but that they just can't make the case," Valenty says.
The two detectives assigned to the Nick Valenty investigation could not be reached for comment. But, according to Lieutenant Mike Fossum of the Minneapolis Police Department, the Loring Park area did experience an unusual spike in robberies this fall. From mid-September to mid-October, Fossum says, there were reports of at least 20 robberies in the park and nearby Greenway. Most of the crimes were unusually violent in nature, with a group of attackers sucker-punching the victim—usually a lone male, usually at night—without saying a word.
Inspector Jannee Harteau, commander of the MPD's First Precinct, says the robberies took police by surprise. "Generally, Loring Park is not on our crime maps. Maybe an assault here and there and some prostitution. But this snuck up on us very fast," Harteau says. However, she dismisses the notion that police didn't respond adequately or get word out quickly enough. "We put out an alert, and we had the director of patrol do decoy operations, where officers set themselves up as potential robbery victims—an old guy, a guy in a wheelchair, a Joe Lunchbucket guy."
That initiative didn't produce any arrests. But police did get a break on the evening of October 15 after a lone pedestrian was beaten and robbed by a group of five or six juveniles. According to the MPD's Fossum, the victim lost his wallet but managed to keep his cell phone. Following the kids from a distance, he called 911. A nearby squad picked up one of the assailants right away. Two others in the group were located a few hours later at Seventh and Nicollet in the course of a curfew check. According to Fossum, the youths—who ranged in age from 15 to 17, and came from Fridley—initially denied any knowledge of the crime. Two confessed to their involvement after they were found in possession of stolen credit cards.
Fossum believes the same kids are responsible for as many as eight of the robberies in the park and the Greenway and may also be involved with robberies at a light rail station in south Minneapolis. But, Fossum adds, at least three other groups of robbers (including some adults) are thought to have been active in the Loring Park and Greenway areas over the period. He says investigators have been hampered by the inability to get good descriptions of suspects—a problem compounded by poor lighting, the sudden nature of the attacks, and, in some instances, the intoxication of the victim.
"It seems like these street criminals have some kind of informal communication about where the good marks are," Fossum observes. What's most disturbing, he says, is the gratuitous violence that accompanied the robberies. "In some of these cases, it's almost like the robbery is incidental, and the assault is half the fun."
For Chris Valenty, the news of recent arrests provides only a modicum of comfort. He thinks the police ought to keep a beat cop in Loring Park but acknowledges that budget constraints may make that difficult. And he thinks the police could work harder to make a case in his brother's killing. But there is something else he hopes for even more. "I wish Nick's ghost would visit me," Valenty says. "If anyone had a ghost, it would be him."

Sweet Lou
Cinequest Maverick Spirit Award winnerLou Gossett Jr. brings new film to festival
The actor Louis Gossett Jr. co-wrote one memorable antiwar song, "Handsome Johnny"; as played by Richie Havens, it was a celebrated moment at Woodstock, a 1969 outdoor concert full of "people listenin' to Mick Jagger and badmouthing our country ..." as Gossett's most famous character would put it about 13 years later. Gossett also starred in a sci-fi antiwar parable, Enemy Mine, as an alien whose aggression had an understandable reason: the male alien was pregnant. So it's ironic that Gossett's best-known role is as a no-nonsense gung-ho military man, Gunnery Sgt. Emil Foley in 1982's An Officer and a Gentleman. Gossett's Oscar-laureated soldierly bearing was parlayed into four different Iron Eagle movies, where he created and reprised the role of "Chappy" Sinclair, another figure of toughness and probity. Starting off in the 1961 film version of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, Gossett worked with some noted directors: George Cukor in Travels With My Aunt, Hal Ashby in The Landlord and John Boorman in that director's most obscure film, Leo the Last. Gossett is a solid comic actor; he was quite funny in a memorable Paul Bogart comedy Skin Game, which was unsuccessfully peeled off into a TV pilot with the less suggestive title Sidekicks. Gossett and James Garner posed as a slave and his master, all the better to fleece Southerners; this good-time, bad-taste comedy anticipated Blazing Saddles by a few years.
Gossett appears at Cinequest with his new film, The Least Among You, based on a true story of a man arrested after the Watts riots and sentenced to serve some time in a white seminary. At the seminary, the angry young man meets a janitor (Gossett) who is trying to conquer his own alcoholism. Gossett's more than merely commanding presence, even in humble roles, suggests that alcoholism wouldn't have a chance. This Maverick Spirit event includes a screening of the movie and a Q&A session with Gossett.
LOU GOSSETT JR. appears Monday (March 3) at 7pm at the California Theatre.

What drain strainer and garbage disposal do you recommend with the K-5840-5U?A. The Kohler K-5840-5U would use the Kohler k-8801 basket strainer which comes in 10 different finishes. The disposal flange would be K-11352, which also comes in ten finishes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong, or necessarily tragic, unfortunate, or sad about a woman choosing to get an abortion. Nothing. And here's why.
NY Times Magazine features yet another article questioning the morality of women who make their own decisions about their child-bearing.
If you had any doubt that we are moving toward a hate-filled, vigilante society, the answer is now clear. Just two days after a female member of the Minuteman militia was convicted of murdering two innocent people–including a 9-year-old girl–and attempting to murder another, South Dakota legislators have introduced legislation making it legal to murder physicians who provide abortions.
Claims of PersonhoodUSA and others that Roe was decided without the benefit of medical and scientific knowledge on fetal development are simply not true.
Given my struggle to get pregnant, I suppose it was only expected that I found it so hard to become unpregnant, too. Several months after my D and C, I am still "pregnant."
A reader doesn't make it far into the Icare advertising supplement released by the Human Life Alliance before getting hit with some major whoppers. In fact, you can't even make it past the table of contents.
FDA wants information about fetal affects on drug labels, What are the ethics of sex selection?, UN releases report on HIV/AIDS efforts.

More Snakes Found In Hawaii
That's why farm workers in central Oahu were likely surprised this week when they came across a boa constrictor.
Same goes for an assuming Waikiki tourist who found a garter snake in one of her bags on Wednesday. She turned it in to the hotel's front desk.
From the Dept. of Ag.:
On Tuesday (7/31), a Central O`ahu farm turned in a dead boa constrictor which measured about six feet in length. Workers harvesting a field early in the morning came upon the snake and incapacitated the snake. The carcass was later turned in to HDOA's Plant Quarantine Office.
Yesterday morning, a guest at a Waikiki hotel reportedly found a dead garter snake in a carry-on bag and turned the snake in to the front desk. The snake, which appeared to be dried and dead for a while, measured about six-inches long and was picked up by Plant Quarantine inspectors. The visitor is from Washington State and arrived in Honolulu on Monday.
Boa constrictors are non-venomous and are native to Central and South America. They may grow up to 12 feet in length and have a normal diet of small mammals such as mice and rats. Snakes have no natural predators in Hawai`i and pose a serious threat to Hawai`i's environment. Many species also prey on birds and their eggs, increasing the threat to endangered native birds. Large snakes can also be a danger to the public and small pets. …

Documentary filmmaker shooting at Cobb Field
Updated: July 12, 2007, 11:27 AM ETAssociated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. -- During a visit to his parents' house in Idaho last summer, Craig Lindvahl fell in love with Pioneer League baseball.
He went to a Chukars game in Idaho Falls, and he couldn't help noticing the intensity of the fans, the sense of connection so many of them felt for the team.
"For a lot of people," he said, "it was like, 'These are our boys, this is our team.' I looked around and I said, 'This is what baseball is supposed to be. This is why baseball was invented."

Better Neighborhoods Program
Adopted Ordinances
Adopted Area Plan
Final EIR
The Balboa Park Station Area Plan was enacted on May 18, 2009.
Click here to download the final Ordinances, Area Plan and EIR.
The Plan provides a vision to connect, restore, and enhance the area. This vision is now being carried out through individual projects:
Balboa Reservoir Study
The Planning Department, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, (OEWD) and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) are working with community members to create principles for developing housing on the Balboa Reservoir site, with a significant amount of affordable housing and open space for the neighborhood. For more information, please view the Planning Department's Balboa Reservoir Study web pages.
Ocean Avenue Corridor Design
The Planning Department has identified near-term streetscape improvements for Ocean Avenue, and long-term streetscape and safety improvements on Ocean and Geneva east of Phelan Avenue. For more information, please view the Ocean Avenue Corridor Design web page.
BART Westside Walkway Balboa Park Bart Station
A new station entrance and safe, accessible walkway connecting Balboa Park BART Station with Ocean Avenue was completed in 2011. This eliminated the need for BART and MUNI patrons to walk along the unsafe tracks and narrow pathway through the adjacent SF MUNI yard. Several additional Balboa Park Station improvements to pedestrian safety and access improvements are currently underway.
Balboa Park Bicycle and Pedestrian Connection Study
Short-term pedestrian improvements identified by the SFMTA in the Balboa Park Station Bicycle and Pedestrian Connection Study have been constructed. These include a new signal-protected pedestrian crossing on Ocean Avenue, and new bike lanes on Phelan Avenue between Ocean and Judson Avenues. For more information please view the 2015 Annual Report of the Interagency Plan Implementation Committee.
Balboa Park Improvement Plan
The Trust for Public Land and the San Francisco Department of Recreation and Parks partnered to build improvements to Balboa Park, including a new playground, skate park and public art. For more information please view the Trust for Public Land's Balboa Park web page.
The Restoration of the Geneva Car Barn and Power House
The local community and the Recreation and Parks Department are working to rehabilitate the Geneva Car Barn and Power House. For details, see the description at the bottom of this page; the Department of Recreation and Parks' website for the project, or the website of the Friends of Geneva Car Barn and Powerhouse.
The Reconfiguration of the Phelan Loop
The City College bus terminal, located at Ocean and Phelan Avenues, was reconfigured in 2013. This improved the bus turnaround and pedestrian connections, created a new public plaza, and facilitated the construction of affordable housing.For more information, see the SFMTA's press release about the completion of the Phelan Loop.
For more information please view the Department of Recreation and Parks' website for the project, or the website of the Friends of Geneva Car Barn and Powerhouse.

Already down 0-2 to Spurs, Lakers' injuries mount
Updated: April 25, 2013, 7:03 PM ETAssociated Press
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Steve Nash needed three injections for pain relief on the Los Angeles Lakers' day off. He's still more likely to play in Game 3 on Friday night than Steve Blake or Jodie Meeks.
And just in case anybody forgot, Kobe Bryant is at home in a walking boot, his season over.
Late in a season featuring just about every tribulation imaginable, the Lakers have almost no healthy guards -- never mind anybody who could keep up with Tony Parker.

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The Pomham Rocks Light sits on a rocky knuckle in the Providence River, a scant 800 feet from the wooded Riverside shoreline.
From its cramped lantern room 40 feet above sea level, the Providence skyline can be seen rising to the north, the Edgewood Yacht Club to the west and Riverside�s Sabin Point to the south.
That the Second Empire-style building is in such superb shape is a tribute to a handful of lighthouse aficionados who find something magical, almost �Brigadoon�-like, in buildings whose time � and usefulness � has passed.
�I think it�s a combination of their esthetics and their symbolism,� said Robert Trapani, executive director of the nonprofit American Lighthouse Foundation. �Lighthouses inspire so many feelings, from romance to mystery. They beckon to us.�
�It�s because they don�t build them anymore,� said Donald Doucette, 70, of Attleboro, Mass. �With many lighthouses situated in precarious locations, the loss of any lighthouse is huge.�
Doucette, along with David Kelleher, a former East Providence educator and history buff, led the effort to restore the 1871 lighthouse, which, by the 1990s, was showing its age.
Working with the American Lighthouse Foundation in Maine, the men approached the owner, ExxonMobil, about preserving the structure, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Mobil Oil purchased the lighthouse from the U.S. government in the 1980s.
The Friends of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse was launched in 2004 and eventually raised $300,000 to completely renovate the building�s exterior.
After the renovation, the Coast Guard moved the light back to Pomham Rocks and, on Aug. 30, 2006, the light was officially turned on by then-Gov. Donald Carcieri. Four years later, ExxonMobil donated Pomham Rocks to the American Lighthouse Foundation.
Lighthouse tour
During a tour of the lighthouse in July, Kelleher and his colleague Joseph Estrella, of East Providence, described the painstaking renovation by Abcore Restoration Co.
The tower, which had a 7-degree tilt, was straightened. The shingles were stripped, the original clapboard restored and then painted a rich cream with a pale coffee trim.
Every detail is historically accurate.
Doucette, accompanied by Keith Lescarbeau and Ken Reid, of Abcore, at the time drove to upstate New York to pick up a load of red roof slate, a task they were reluctant to delegate to a freight company.
�It�s a really pleasurable experience to have a hand in the preservation of history,� Doucette said. �Modern technology flies by. When lighthouses fall into disrepair, it�s a crying shame.�
A member of the East Providence Historical Society, Kelleher, 77, says his fascination with lighthouses began when one of his teachers gave him a lighthouse doorstop. His collection of Rhode Island model lighthouses now tops 35.
�It�s that whole mystique about lighthouses�,� Kelleher said, his voice trailing off.
Kelleher refers to the Pomham lighthouse as �she,� and there is a reverential tone when he extols �her� virtues � the granite foundation, the spiral staircase, the panoramic view. Inside, Kelleher sees beyond the peeling horsehair plaster, the exposed lathing, the blight wrought by years of benign neglect.
Estrella, another friend of the Pomham Light, finds something new on each trip. This time, it�s a doorbell on the second floor.
�Who would come up here?� he joked. �You�re on Gilligan�s Island.�
Pomham Rocks lore
In so many ways, Pomham Rocks seems untouched by time. It still lacks water and electricity, except the limited power provided by a couple of solar panels. The land, which once held five buildings, a garden and two dogs, is now overgrown with honeysuckle and poison ivy.
But the mystery and the stories remain: Tommy the cat, who made headlines for his propensity to dive into the river to catch fish; the little girl who had her appendix taken out on the island (the doctor and nurses came to her); the foghorn that so annoyed its Riverside neighbors that it was replaced by a large bell.
The lighthouse occupies a unique place among the city�s historical landmarks. Neighbors along the east shore scan the rocks to make sure there are no intruders; although it no longer owns the lighthouse, ExxonMobil insists that anyone who wants to visit the site obtain permission in advance.
No one knows what will become of Pomham Rocks Light. A bed and breakfast seems unlikely due to liability issues raised by ExxonMobil, the volunteers said.
Kelleher envisions a small museum, with one room for each of the three East Providence lighthouses that once protected ships that plied the river.
The Pomham Rocks Light no longer guides vessels from foreign locales to the Port of Providence. There is no lighthouse keeper to fire up the lantern before sunset every day, no children drawing water from a cistern and traveling by boat to school on the mainland.
But still, on its rocky perch, the lighthouse greets every vessel that navigates the bend in the river where the channel runs deep.

Who Says "I Want to Contribute" ?
In recent posts, I've been a bit critical with Open Source. But doing Open Source is a lot of fun. The publicity of feedback is thrilling and encouraging. And then, there's the "I want to contribute" phenomenon. Those guys that are so thrilled with your wicked product that will change the world, they want to help. They want to participate. They want to contribute. They want instructions on how to do it. And then ……….. the big void. You'll never hear from them again. Even if you ask them a couple of times, through private messages, etc. Even if you show them a couple of easy tickets that they could resolve first. Blank.
Who are they? Where did they come from? Where do they go? Are the real? Or robots?
Whoever they are, I find them amusing and refreshing. But now, back to work. Someone has to actually write the Open Source code.
6 responses to "Who Says "I Want to Contribute" ?"
oded peer says :
Well, sometimes the "how to contribute" entry barrier seems like too much effort. Even working with Git branches might be a steep learning curve for developers not accustomed to working with Git (think most enterprise developers).
In my case, I wanted to send a patch to OpenJDK. Did you know that to become a contributor you need to sign a contract, scan it and email it to Oracle (http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/)?
I gave it up.
Paul says :
(Extremely late response but I got here via another article)
I'm one of those persons. Probably not on any project related to what you are doing but non the less. I too got enthusiastic about a certain project and used the project on a daily basis. As a software engineer (but not a hardcore technical person) I thought: I can contribute to the code base and help out. I might even benefit from the new functions and gain new insights and learn about new technologies while helping out!
So far so good. I was involved and willing. So I reached out and said I wanted to help. I signed up to help fix a mentored bug (so under supervision of an experienced developer) and started to setup my build environment.
That's where I encountered a lot of problems. And they were all my own. I jumped into an extremely complicated project in a programming language I wasn't fully fluent in, which had a build environment which was hard to setup, My OS wasn't configured to the correct specs, I couldn't get the emulator (which was used to test things) running on my machine and the list goes on. I tried hard to fix things, spend days on IRC getting help (and got a lot of help!) and never googled as much than as in those days.
But in the end I just wasn't technically competent enough to actually help out and I made a mistake. So I apologized to the mentor and left. Now you know one story from a legion of faceless would-be contributors.
(I still am going to contribute but will choose a different path next time. Like mastering the language and its ecosystem first)

Although it shares a street address with a couple of cool-kid clothing stores, Blue Water Flowers is an irony-free zone. A green-striped awning flags the shop and a rose trellis shades its front window. Inside, the dim shotgun space is flanked by buckets of cut flowers (some from France and Holland), topiaries, and the occasional potted orchid. The staff specializes in low, densely clustered arrangements in simple glass ginger jars. Strong-colored blooms are often juxtaposed for contrast, such as twilight-blue hydrangeas with deep crimson roses. Although the store does not have regular hours on weekends, it's occasionally open when the staff is working overtime.


text: I wouldn't recommend this place for people to stay. Either short term or long term. The room is very stuffy without much air inflow and I wouldn't stay here for hygiene reason. There were cockroaches everywhere (including one in the fridge). That's the worse experience I had during my stay with them.

Source: Federal Communications Commission, March 19, 2008, report
In March 2008, the Federal Communications Commission auctioned a portion of the analog spectrum. There were 101 winning bids, resulting in 1,090 licenses nationwide. The auction raised nearly $20 billion, which will go toward paying down the federal deficit.
Several companies in central Florida, including AT&T Mobility Spectrum LLC in Orlando (winning bid, $87.2 million), Cox Wireless Inc. in Ocala ($6.1 million) and Gainesville ($8 million) and Frontier Wireless LLC in Orlando ($30 million), submitted winning bids.
Various companies purchased the licenses, said Matt Nodine, an FCC spokesperson. Smaller companies all the way to national companies like Verizon and AT&T. Its a business decision of what these companies want to do with it from a wireless aspect. My understanding is theyre going to be bringing out much more innovative, creative third and fourth generation wireless connections to consumers. Its certainly a tremendous opportunity for small companies.
Shermaze Ingram, senior director of media relations for the National Association of Broadcasters, has been hearing similar industry rumblings.
Theres a lot of innovation coming out of companies like Verizon and AT&T, Ingram said. They will be able to increase their Internet and broadband capabilities.
U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, the ranking Republican on the Telecommunications and Internet Subcommittee, also sees technology taking a leap as companies develop the analog channels.
With the transition, you have the analog system thats going to be auctioned off, Stearns said. Because of it, third and fourth generation wireless, which will probably expand not only the speed and resolution, but give you more enhancement of the cellular, including the spectrum for health and safety and security purposes.
As a result of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a portion of the analog spectrum was set aside for an emergency system. At this point, the discussion is continuing on how best to establish such a system.
Its something were considering right now, Nodine said. The thought is a public/private partnership. Were trying to find a private company to build out for the public safety entity. There are several proposals before the commission that are being discussed.
Jeff Kagan, a telecom industry analyst for the last 20 years, also sees the need for an emergency system and says over the next several months well start to see things happen with the old analog spectrum, most of it dealing with safety and security.
We need to upgrade our ability to communicate for everyday emergencies as well as the major things that happen, Kagan said. We need a comprehensive emergency system.
Stearns said during Sept. 11, nearly all of the cell phones went dead. In terms of homeland security, he said its vital to have an emergency spectrum and the Subcommittee will continue to try and work out the details for such a system.
People who want to bid on it want to have access free for software programs, Stearns said. A lot of people say we cant do that because if we then youre getting on the spectrum free of charge.
With its winning bids in Ocala and Gainesville, Cox Wireless Inc. plans to develop the next generation of wireless services.
While I cant speak definitively to what the plans are, Cox has announced we intend to build and operate our own wireless network, said Bradley Spatz, vice president for Cox Communications Gainesville/Ocala. Theres not much more detail we can release at this time. We definitely are adding a wireless component to our suite of communication services.
Spatz said the opportunities for different business ventures in the old analog spectrum are tremendous. Theres all kinds of stuff you can do.
Some of those things include additional enhanced features, possibly merging different Cox services into one package and more wireless options for consumers.
The wireless option allows you to plug into those services, Spatz said. There will be a lot more choice, a lot more options, a lot more value.

Q: Help! How do you get your cat unaddicted to canned food??
My grandma stayed with us for a few weeks, along with her cat. While she was feeding her cat, my cat, Blusky came into the kitchen so my grandma gave her a little bit, now all she wants is canned food! Anyone else ever have this problem????
Jul 31, 2008
I'd say just ween her off. If she rejects the dry food alone try mix a little bit of canned food with the dry. Then next time you feed just take all the canned food away. :)

Your cat will eat when it gets hungry enough. I am just starting to alternate the wet and dry food for my cats. My vet let me know that feeding only dry food and leaving a full bowl of food for my cats at all times, could lead to obesity. I'm going to give it a shot.

Polarized China Two Conflicting Views of Beijing Spring
The two documents in this section provide sharply contrasting perspectives on the events of April and May. Document 1 was written by Li Qiao and several participants in the demonstrations, who took their title, "The Soul of China" (Zhongguo zhi hun), from the elegy on Hu Yaobang's Tiananmen funerary wreath. This document presents the student view of developments from the April 15 death of Hu Yaobang until May 16, the third day of the hunger strike. Emphasizing the enormous impact on China of the revolution in international communications, the authors express tributes to Hu Yaobang that contributed to the dismissal of Qin Benli as editor of the liberal Shanghai newspaper World Economic Herald after they were published there. In addition, there are vivid descriptions of the public mourning for Hu Yaobang; the galvanizing effects of the provocative April 26 People's Daily editorial; the exuberance among participants in the April 27 parade that openly defied CPC and even Deng Xiaoping's authority; and, of course, the dramatic impact of the hunger strike. Also included are texts of the May 2 twelve-point petition from the Beijing Autonomous Union of Students setting forth student terms for a dialogue with the government; the May 16 declaration signed by thirty leading intellectuals who favored student demands for freedom of the press; and a letter to the nation and declaration of purpose by the hunger strikers.
"The Soul of China" clearly portrays the spontaneity, courage, and sense of adventure and optimism that characterized the demonstrators before the May 19 proclamation of martial law. The authors of the document do not, as Communist Party leaders claimed, convey any sense of conspiracy or a plan to bring chaos to China. Their patriotism is palpable. Written before martial law and the massacre on June 4, the documents lack the rage toward the regime that followed the

Did this officer cross the line?
This video makes this officer look bad and while there are a lot of things we don't know, we do know that this video has gone viral and the officer has some explaining to do.
In the video, which was posted on Facebook this week, 26-year-old Donrell Breaux is constantly heard asking a deputy why he was trying to enter his New Orleans home to arrest him. Breaux's friend is taping the entire altercation with his mobile phone.
In an interview with Breaux after the incident, Breaux said he believed neighbors called law enforcement
because of noise and vulgarity coming from his porch. He said when the deputy arrived, the officer did not identify himself as he tried to force himself inside.
The video shows the deputy wrestling with Breaux on a couch trying to handcuff him, while Breaux repeatedly asking why he was being arrested. The deputy responded, "I don't answer to you , you're answering to me."
And this is where most people have a problem. Don't get me wrong I understand the pressures that law enforcement officers go through, but if you ask why you are being arrested, don't you deserve an answer?
The officer charged Breaux with battery of a police officer, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace, although from the video it looks like the officer was the aggressor.
For the record, a spokesperson for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said it was investigating the incident.
Look at the video and tell me what you think. I think we can all agree that the situation could have been handled better. The question is did the officer cross the line?

I am interested to see how US Government agencies are dealing with social media records
I am interested in how the US Coast Guard complies with record management?
In May 2013, NARA released a white paper on best practices for the capture of social media records. You can download that from: http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/resources/socialmediacapture.pdf
Page 5, 2nd row, lists the US Coast Guard, provides links to 2 resources, and lists the following Social Media in Use: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, blogs, and RSS feeds. The last column explains that communications and transactions conducted on the social media site on behalf of the Coast Card must be managed as a Federal Record. Recommendations are based on the type of content and include deletion, screen shots, and backupify (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/backupify) to archive content and comments.
A newer publication (2012), the Coast Guard Social Media Handbook, can be downloaded from: http://www.dvidshub.net/publication/issues/10409 See pages 3 and 7 for a reference to records management.
Thanks, as always, for your informative and timely summary of the Administration's plans and progress. The Accountable Government Initiative is another step in what seems to be an important and well thought out management improvement program. In that spirit, a couple of questions on which I would be interested in your take:
Does the Initiative underplay the importance of collaboration and governance strategies? I do not want to go too far here since collaboration will clearly be critical to achieving many of the initiatives, but I was struck by the lack of a direct and explicit attention to what many consider to be the overwhelming public management issue—how to get organizations (federal agencies, levels of government, sectors) to work better across organizational boundaries. Much of the collaboration language in the memo seems to focus on sharing best practices, which is all very good, but seems to miss the essential point that to achieve any meaningful national outcome, organizations must form networks with other organizations and not just coordinate actions.
Is "accountability" the right brand? I am not convinced that at root the problems we face are the result of the failure to hold agencies and individuals accountable for what they do. Rather, the problem is a lack of tools, processes, resources and authorities. It seems that the accountability brand picks up only half of the mantra from the 1990s (make managers manage) and neglects the crucial other half (let managers manage). I recall Steve Kelman had an article a year couple of years back on the pitfalls of working management improvements from an accountability angle.
Thanks for your questions. Here's my take:
In your comment about the lack of any emphasis on interagency collaboration -- I agree. The memo is largely silent on this crucial point. Charitably, you could read "collaboration" into the sections about setting high priority goals, and appointing the goal leaders, but the Administration has not put down an ambitious marker on the importance of cross-agency collaboration as a strategy for achieving outcomes the American people care about.
And as to your question about branding the initiative as "accountability," every presidential memo, especially one like this, has two audiences -- the general public and government employees. That's why the Clinton Administration's reinventing government mantra was "works better" (something government employees cared about) and "costs less" (something the public cared about). President Obama's message touches on these: "open and responsive," "efficient and effective," and "cut waste and modernize" . . . but the overall heading does stress "accountability," which is something the public cares about but is not a rallying point for government employees. Public servants don't get out of bed and go to work so they can be "accountable" (well, other than the folks at the Government Accountability Office).
The Obama Administration has yet to find a way to broadly and personally connect with federal employees in a way that inspires them to make a difference in their own work place, for the people they serve. For example, the SAVE Award generates thousands of ideas, but is a top-down program that only recognizes and acts on a tiny fraction of these ideas. There needs to be a way to broadly engage -- even empower -- the workforce to innovate, cut red tape, and serve the public. Being more accountable or increasing productivity are not the kind of clarion calls to service to deliver results Americans care about.
