Blackout Delays OpenSuse Beta
A power outage that hit some vital servers at Novell a few days ago has also caused the release of the third Beta version of OpenSuse 11.1 to be postponed.
In an e-mail on the OpenSuse announcement list, Community Manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier said the release date has been pushed back "by several days". The reason: during the outage, no new packages could be checked in.
Originally scheduled for Oct 16, release of the new test version of the distribution is now more likely to be Oct 20.

ANZAC day
Started by yabbadabbadoo , Apr 13 2012 12:44 AM

Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:44 AM
Just wondering what you normally do on ANZAC day? We don"t normally do anything much, unless it is a long weekend and we are away. One of DS's friend's parents was talking about having his birthday party that day and I couldn't decide if I thought it was inappropriate or nor. I guess I would've ok with it in the afternoon, but perhaps not so ok with it if it was in the morning. Do you have strong feelings about ANZAC day?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:53 AM
I don't find it inappropriate at all. Presumably they're not planning to hold it during the dawn service. None of the ex-servicemen in my family would even blink at the idea.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 01:03 AM
I think that's fine, though preferably in the afternoon (as the services / parades are in the morning, and gives people a chance to visit the cemetery etc). Around here the shops open at Midday I think, so I guess after that anything goes
Posted 13 April 2012 - 01:51 AM
I'm going interstate to watch my dad march in the parade.
then we'll probably find ourselves drunk by lunchtime on the
RAAF base that I grew up on.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:59 AM
It's my DD1's 7th birthday so we are going ten pin bowling with a few school friends and family
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:50 AM
Fine for the afternoon.
I know a lot of people go to the parades with kids, which I think is important but there's no reason not to get together with friends too.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:08 AM
I don't find it disrespectful, though I can understand why some do, and I do have a lot of respect for the diggers.
We always find a game of 2up on ANZAC day... its fun and a nice way to soak up some of the vibe
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:38 AM
We normally attend a bit of a family reunion and participate in a dawn service and march. This year we'll be staying at home as DS isn't up for the travel (7 hour drive), although we may be going to a friend's place for a catch up BBQ.
In future years we'll be continuing with this family tradition, and one year when DS is older we'll probably stay in Sydney and attend the service in Martin Place
I don't think having a birthday party is disrespectful, and my grandfather was a WWII veteran and attended the big march in Sydney every year until he was physically unable. I know a lot of people who treat ANZAC day as just another public holiday and a great excuse to start their drinking in the morning - I find that far more disrespectful
Posted 13 April 2012 - 08:55 AM
I always go to the dawn service.
I spend the day doing whatever I want to, and enjoying the freedoms all the vets fought to give us. I raise a glass to the fallen, the wounded, and the safely returned.
And I am also a great granddaughter of a vet who went through hell, and daughter of a Vietnam vet who won't talk about it. Ever. And I'm ex military myself.

I do find it inappropriate and disrespectful then again I am the Grand Daughter of a veteran that was lucky enough to survive being a POW on the Burma Thai Railway and also Changi.
It's hardly the child's fault that their birthday is on Anzac Day. It's like saying we shouldn't allow people who's birthdays coincide with Easter celebrate as it's disrespectful to Jesus.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:06 AM
Growing up we always went to the Dawn Service and then spent the day at the barracks (my Dad was a Solidier). Nowadays my DH will always go to the dawn service and I will too depending on the kids and stuff and that is about it. Usually watch the broadcasts on TV. This year we were thinking about taking the kids in to see the parade in the city.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:06 AM
If it's in the afternoon then it would be ok.
As PP have said, Dawn service & the parades are all held in the morning.
My dad is a vietnam vet as well & he refuses to acknowledge the day, yet his father (who served in WWII) & my mothers grandfather (served in WWI) would always celebrate the day with their mates from their unit at their local RSL.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:08 AM
At least Easter moves so it's not on your birthday every year....(spoken as one who finds the years her birthday is on Good Friday particularly annoying!)
I spend ANZAC day steadfastly ignoring all observances. In the last several years I've often worked (although, for those who are frowning at the shops opening, note that I'm not in retail!). But I don't know that I'd hold a party - my choice not to observe the day is my choice; I wouldn't want to impinge on something important to others.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:18 AM
I don't find it disrespectful.
I do like to reflect on ANZAC day about how horrific and horrible war is and mourn the loss of those that were killed (Australians, Turks, everyone) but I wouldn't see a problem with going to a party, especially in the afternoon.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:31 AM
DH always does dawn service and or the march. The kids also attend either with him as well.
There is always a party to attend each year as there is an Anzac birthday in our family, but we do it as dinner so that we can observe and remember in the mornings.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:37 AM
It's hardly the child's fault that their birthday is on Anzac Day
DS and I celebrate our Anzac Day birthdays together every year on the actual day.

Yep, this is me. I watch the dawn service or attend one if my Dad is in the state with me. I then have a big cry during the Last Post (gets to me every time) and then I spend the day thinking of everything my Dad and Grandfather went through and how lucky I am that I didn't have to watch any of my brothers/friends go off to war and never return when we were in our early 20's.
My Dad, however, is very vocal about his Viet Nam experience. He's even written several books on the subject. It's interesting how different people cope.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:43 AM
DH always watches the AFL since they always have an ANZAC day match. I'll probably sit around the house enjoying the fact I'm not at work. I might leave DD with DH and use the afternoon as an excuse to get some clothes shopping done without her around to 'help'.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:54 AM
We don't do anything in particular regarding Anzac day. We do talk about it, will turn the parades on and talk to the girls about it. The school always does an Anzac service at school on the nearest school day, so the girls know about it.
The party .. wouldn't bother me at all, as long as it is in the afternoon. Why would it be disrespectful to spend time in the afternoon enjoying those freedoms that our servicemen and women fight to protect.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:20 AM
We tend to stay at home because DP always ends up being abused (He is Asian) and now that we have DS I really don't want my family exposed to that. So I would have no problem with a birthday party because apart from when we went to Gallipoli ANZAC day has always been about racism for us so we tend not to observe it anyway.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:08 AM
We go to the march, then do brunch, then the footy!! I love ANZAC day. It's always great seeing so many people out supporting our servicemen and women.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:19 AM
We'll be off to the dawn service in Kings Park, then probably home for sleeps and food. Dinner will probably be at mums, and it will be full of all things delicious.

That's terribly sad, SnazzySass. I'm very sorry you experience this.

Wow I'm so sorry your family experiences this. Some poeple are such ignorant twats!
To me ANZAC day is a day of commemoration for the soldiers and to me that means all soldiers, no matter where they came from, who lost their lives and/or saw and experienced horrors they shouldn't have.

Does this sort of crap really still happen??? Half of the people I served with were of Asian or other non Caucasian ancestry. That's pathetic. I'm so sorry.

I appreciated the quick response to my order. I had not been able to get this particular fragrance at the departments stores in our area. I was glad to be able to see that this fragrance was available from your company online and at a slightly lower price than some other online companies.

This fragrance is so smooth and has a sweet hint to it. It's a very soft scent (of course, if you use a small amount). I usually use fragrances such as: Viva La Juicy, So Irresistible by Givenchy, Versace etc. I was a little hesitant about purchasing this fragrance mainly because of the great value, but I don't regret purchasing it one bit!
It can well become a signature scent since not too many people wear it yet. Plus the shipping is great, I purchased with standard shipping and it was shipped on a Thursday and arrived MONDAY to my location!!
Thanks Fragrance X!

Comments about Guess Seductive Perfume:
Seductive is a beautiful, mature, floral, fruity scent with just enough warmth and spice to consider it sexy and sensual. It definitely smells like an evening scent, but I can't seem to find much practical use for it unless my fiancé and I are going out for only a short time as the scent doesn't hold. Seductive received 4 stars from me only because of it's lack of long-lasting power. As for shipping, I received my undamaged, well-stuffed package, including two other items, within 6 business days of ordering.

Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution | 05/11/15
Mona Eltahawy, Naureen Chowdhury Fink
The Middle East needs a double revolution--not just a political one, but a social/sexual one as well, says fiery, courageous feminist Mona Eltahawy. It's time to destroy the oppressive patriarchy of "the trifecta:" the state, the street, and the home. But Arab women don't need "rescuing." Misogyny exists everywhere in varying degrees.

"Europe has always been a place of conflict and malice and anger and hatred, between classes and between nations. The question now is, can it be contained? I doubt it very much. The period from 1992 to 2008 was an interregnum, and an unnatural one. Europe is returning to itself, and when Europe gets sick, the world gets sick with it."

Famed Ferris wheel set for city
Oklahoma City developer Grant Humphreys bought a piece of Americana on Ebay Friday — the Pacific Park Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier — and intends to bring it back home and include it in a future project. The nine-story-tall Ferris wheel has 20 gondolas, 5,400 light bulbs, and the California amusement park reports it has been featured in 28 movies and more than 130 television shows and commercials. The amusement is being replaced by a newer, bigger wheel, and part of the proceeds from the sale is being contributed to Special Olympics. "It's a movie star," Humphreys said. The Ebay sale ended Friday with Humphreys' winning bid of $132,400. Humphreys, reached while vacationing with his family, said he is planning to take his wife and children to Santa Monica next week to take a ride while it is still on the famous pier. Dismantling and relocation to Oklahoma will follow soon after. "We don't have a specific place decided for it, but we think it's a great classic Ferris wheel and a great part of nostalgic Americana," he said. Humphreys is wrapping up construction on downtown's Block 42 condominiums and is planning to start construction on the nearby Flatiron mixed-use development this summer. He also is working on a mixed-use development on the former Downtown Airpark along the Oklahoma River. Humphreys said other developments are in the works, and the final location for the Ferris wheel has yet to be decided. "It looked like a great opportunity, and it's at the right price with a lot of rich history," Humphreys said. "It's done a great job making memories for families in California — it's a beloved center of fun and amusement for southern California, and I think it will do the same for families in Oklahoma."
The Ferris wheel is seen on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, Calif. in May 1996. A 10-day eBay auction began April 15, for the nine-story-tall Ferris wheel. Associated Press

How to Design Knit Patterns
Ever wanted to write knitting patterns but don't know where to start? Note: this is not for charts. If you are not an experienced knitter, you should follow patterns rather than design them until you're advanced.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Know what you want to design. Is it a glove? A hat? Does it have cables? Is it ribbed?
2Get the right yarns appropriate to the needle size, too.
3Try to make your designs original.
4Write it as you go so you don't remember
5Abbreviations are suggested. Also, make a note telling what all the abbreviations are for. (k = knit so k1 is knit 1. P = purl, etc.) research popular abbreviations
6Make your pattern clear and easy to understand. Before every row you write, say that it's that specific row. (row 1, row 2)
7Don't be repetitive. (ex. Row 1 k all stitches. Row 2. K all stitches) if certain rows are identical say "repeat row _" and if they're consecutive say "row _ through _"
8Before you start charging for patterns, make a name for yourself. When you do start charging, make sure it's worth the money. No one would pay for just a garter stitch scarf. They already know how to do that!

Duplicate, but which one?
While searching for links to family for a Deptula record I just created, this duplicate caught my eye. Upon looking at the records, they have the same name and birth/death dates, as well as the same name of the cemetery... but the cemeteries are in two different locations with the same name.
Maybe you can sort out which of these should be deleted? I'm leaving the same message on the other contributor's wall too. Thanks.
Joseph Stanley Deptula #134146921 and #128550638.

Best vacuum yet!
By Robertogee
from Little Rock, AR, United States
Comments about Hoover WindTunnel 2 Upright Vacuum:
I'm moving and wanted a new vacuum. My old brand still worked, but was 18 year old technology (which used bags). The Windtunnel is the difference between night and day. Extremely easy to use and empty (after each use)! Cleaning / replacing filters (which I haven't had to do yet) is a snap: literally. Really appreciate using the built-in handle over the center-of-gravity bagless container to lift and move the vacuum. Incredibly powerful but no "louder" than normal. Does a remarkable job on carpets, floors, using the dusting attachment, baseboard attachment. And best of all, the quickly rewinding cord. It's so convenient to use, I use it often, without a second thought.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great
By Bill tak
from Crossville, TN, United States
Bought this to us in our Rv . Used it in our house and it works as good as our central vac.
Great For Floors!
By musiclover
from Lancaster, OH, United States
I bought this for the 3rd floor as I am tired of lugging up my other (which is the big Hoover Bag less) I love Hoover products and bought this based on their performance over the years of owning them. I now have 3. This is light in weight, picks up very well. My reason for 4 stars is the hose is very short and it does interfere with the cord wrap around. It does the job, the price is great and it's a Hoover.
Great suction!

from Buffalo NY
After putting it together I wanted to use immediately to see how it picked up dirt. Excellent choice. Love it! ONE THING I AM DISAPPOINTED IN IS IT WAS MISSING THE CREVICE TOOL AND SMALL DUSTING/UPHOLSTERY TOOL.
Wonderful basic machine
By RoxyRox303
from Santa Barbara, CA, United States
I really like the power of the machine, the weight, the quality and how easy it is to dump out the dust. I do wish there was a bit longer hose. But I love the detachment feature and how you can set it to different rug lengths.
windtunnel 2
By Jerry L A
from Los Angeles, CA, United States
This my 3rd vacuum, from costco, it picks up very well, but as it heats up after 13-16 mins. it shuts down for 4-6 hrs till it cools. Hoover need to do some R&D for this model.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought the Hoover wind tunnel 2 rewind, I've only had it about 3 months once it over heats it shuts off and won't turn on for a long time!
Great Machine!
By Chicky1
from Wingdale, NY, United States
I have a Rainbow and wanted something that was a little easier to use. I gave up a Hoover when I purchased the Rainbow. This is a great machine and does a good job without all the hassle.
good suction
By not available
from New Jersey, United States
I researched thru consumer reports and chose this model. I am very happy with this cleaner. It is easy to empty the tank and it has power. Cons.. The power hand tool did not have enough power to spin when I tried to clean my sofa cushions. I have an older model wind-tunnel power tool and it worked when I attached it to this unit.
Great vacuum - 4th Generation Hoover Lover
By AnnNC
from Undisclosed
I have the older version of this product and it works wonderfully! The suction is perfect, the bags and belts are easy to change and I can buy both locally. We're a Hoover family and have been for 4 generations. My Grandmom always called her Hoover a sweeper - I never heard the word vacuum uttered by her! Vacuum, sweeper - they all apply when you're talking about a Hoover!!

Good Afternoon!
Enterprise Vault does set permissions automatically to Domino archives without requiring a script. A good explanation from Paul Honey in the forums on March 23rd best states what is possible:
Permissions on Domino archives are managed automatically via the Domino Provisioning task which will synchronise ACL permissions on the user mail file to the correpsonding Domino archive, so provided the user mail file ACL reflects the Domino permissions that you require, a run of the Provisioning task should sync them to the Domino archive as well.
If you require either Domino permissions on a Domino archive beyond those that exist on the mail file ACL, or rather want to add Active Directory permissions to a Domino archive, then the only method that exists for this is adding them to each archive manually using the Vault administration Console, Domino Archive properties \ Permissions tab.
If your use case is beyond this example, please feel free to explain your particular case and we'll have a look.
Best Regards,

"Tinambac, Camarines Sur" Tinambac by DarleneCMF
Tinambac Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 3 photos
One word: Far...
Naga itself is very far, Tinambac is about an hour farther. All in all, it took us almost 11 hours on the road to get here from Manila. The specific barangay we went to was La Purisima so the tips will be about this place.
The one weekend that we were there reminded me that simple lives can still be found. The main livelihood here is fishing since it's a seaside town, and also retailing.
You don't really go to Tinambac as a tourist/traveler, you go there because you have family. And that's the reason why we were there. But if you find yourself in this little corner of the world, do check out the tips. :)
I will be going to Tinambac for the first time this weekend. This is Richard's hoemtown but it has been ~10 years since his last visit. We are going with his Mom and brother who are moving back to the province.
We will be leaving very early in the morning from Dasma to Manila, then Manila to Tinambac for the next 8 hours. Road trip!
I will post pictures and tips next week. :)

Feng Xiaogang
Maverick No More?
China Central Television (CCTV) pins its hopes on popular movie director Feng Xiaogang to rescue its flagging televised Chinese New Year Gala from critical purgatory. But will Feng bring his trademark irreverence or just more orthodoxy to this event?
For the past 30 years, millions of Chinese have habitually huddled before their televisions to watch the chunwan, or Chinese New Year Gala, aired by State-owned network CCTV. This once-a-year variety show attempts to incorporate both political orthodoxy and mass entertainment with a mixture of patriotic and popular musical acts, magic tricks, comedy sketches, propaganda set-pieces and acrobatics – many of which are performed by China's top celebrities. This year, they even secured Celine Dion.
However, even as budgets have expanded and the running time has extended to some four hours, the Gala's put-upon directors have visibly struggled to strike a balance between the taste for old-school bombastic socialist realism still shared by many older Chinese viewers and by the Party faithful, and the increasingly vital preferences of the younger generation for the kind of varied entertainment they have grown up with.
When once families were happy to remain glued to their screens for several hours, nowadays most switch off after an hour or less – if they switch on at all. More alarmingly for CCTV bigwigs, the young people who do tune in merely do so to update scathing criticism of the show in real-time via China's social media.
The choice of popular director Feng Xiaogang to direct next year's Gala, a decision announced via a live prime time TV broadcast, could be CCTV's biggest gamble yet to turn around the fortunes of its failing flagship show.
One of China's top directors, Feng Xiaogang shot to fame with a series of wildly popular "Chinese New Year blockbusters" released during the holiday seasons of the 1990s to a total box office revenue of over two billion yuan (roughly US$250m).
Feng's light-hearted, irreverent and sometimes bitingly satirical output was a revelation to audiences raised on moribund political epics and predictably gory war films, making him one of the country's best-loved filmmakers.
Unlike many of his peers, from the outside Feng for years maintained only necessary ties with the Chinese government's culture departments, a policy that has, until now, largely prevented him from being written off as a sell-out. Feng has even been a very public opponent of State censorship apparatus, criticizing the movie approval system as recently as April 12 in a speech at the China Film Director's Guild Awards, a speech that was, ironically, censored when shown on CCTV.
Two months later on July 12, CCTV confirmed at a news conference that Feng Xiaogang would be the chief director of 2014's Gala. Feng, resplendent in a purple jacket, told reporters: "I would rather not express my thanks to the CCTV leadership. As I'm taking this thankless job, they should thank me instead."
The authorities evidently hope that Feng's presence will reverse the audience exodus to less-orthodox, more populist alternative Chinese New Year's Eve galas aired on commercial stations and to the Internet. But is Feng Xiaogang the man for the job?
Shared History
In 1983, five years after China had embarked on the road of Reform and Opening-up, CCTV broadcasted its first annual Gala, whose brand of spectacle and light entertainment won ardent fans among a generation emerging from the wasteland left in the wake of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). A great number of viewers wrote letters to CCTV to express their love for the show, forcing the network to set up a dedicated room just for Gala fan mail.
That same year, a 25-year-old Feng Xiaogang was just embarking on his TV career, working as a runner and cook for a production company.
Six years later, Feng joined forces with popular writer Wang Shuo. After having several projects killed off by the cultural authorities for being "too negative," including one aborted shoot which cost them several million yuan, the pair managed to produce The Editorial Room, a sitcom about the media industry. Chinese audiences, raised on a daily diet of worthy TV dramas extolling the virtues of noble cadres, soldiers and police officers spouting pitch-perfect news anchor Mandarin, couldn't believe what they were seeing. The series' pithy dialog, naturalistic characters and satirical treatment of social issues caused a stir across the country.
At the same time, the CCTV Gala re-introduced, amongst other things, pop music and sketch comedy to mainstream entertainment. Neither meticulously planned nor flawlessly designed, the show appeared more like a get-together for friends and family, down to the casually-clad audiences clearly visible in the broadcasts, and therefore always seemed a show for ordinary families. Sharp comedic commentary on current affairs, and participation by top pop stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, ensured the Gala's enviable ratings.
However, beginning in the 1990s, CCTV began to take a more active role in determining the content of the Gala. Former president of CCTV Yang Weiguang once said that the 1990s saw the annual show's content shift from ideological emancipation (breaking free from the shackles of the Cultural Revolution) to feeding cultural consumerism as well as providing a platform for exerting ideological control over the masses. Predictably, ratings began to drop off.
According to CCTV statistics, its 2010 gala had an audience share of only 28.42 percent, a share which dropped to 11.36 percent in 2013. In 1998, its Chinese New Year Gala had secured 68.1 percent of the audience share. With budgets increasing year-on-year, CCTV was struggling to justify its investment, yet there were no signs the ideological pressure from above was lessening.
In the 1990s, Feng Xiaogang's star was still rising, thanks largely to his decision to stick to his trademark style – mocking the establishment but remaining so in-step with public opinion that he couldn't be silenced effectively. "He had personal opinions about every piece of news. He could riff on any headline," remarked one director.
In 1997, Feng Xiaogang's first Chinese New Year movie, Dream Factory, was released. The movie tells a story of four young people starting a "dream-making" company that helps its clients realize a lifelong dream within 24 hours. With an investment of 6 million yuan (US$723,000), the film raked in 36 million (US$4.3m) at the national box office. Critics rhapsodized about the movie's quality and daring, manipulating absurdism to relay social critique. Feng himself attributed his success to remaining grounded. "Without reality and life, I have no confidence in my movies," he said in any earlier interview in 2004.
After Dream Factory, Feng made a habit of releasing one blockbuster a year during the Chinese New Year holiday season – even coining a term for this "genre" – the "New Year Movie."
Despite his mounting success, Feng failed to gain recognition from China's cultural authorities. Some critics in State media dismissed his output as populist, and "remixed soap-operas."
Feng was not discouraged. After social critique Chicken Feather earned critical acclaim, Feng directed A Sigh (2000), focusing on the commonplace but rarely-portrayed issues of mid-life crises and extramarital affairs, a movie which became the second-highest-grossing domestic release of that year.
Despite the success of A Sigh, cultural authorities would not allow the movie to be nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards – China's Academy Awards. Instead, Feng swept the board at the Cairo International Film Festival, taking home awards in every major category apart from Best Director. A Sigh also earned Feng significant recognition in Europe and America, securing overseas releases for many of his subsequent productions.
Nonetheless, there were signs that Feng was finding the potential commercial benefits of a stamp of approval from the authorities hard to resist. In 2007, he shot Assembly, a movie about the Chinese Civil War in the late 1940s and China's involvement in the Korean War in the early 1950s. Shooting this historical epic, which broadly fit with the Party line on both conflicts, finally earned him some currency with the Ministry of Culture.
"Feng Xiaogang was not recognized by the establishment until Assembly," Gao Jun, chairman of the Beijing Sheng Shi Xin Ying Film TV Distribution Corporation, told our reporter. A long-time collaborator with Feng, Gao Jun was one of the main script advisors for Dream Factory.
"[Feng] is full of ideas," said Gao. "He is in the van of new movie-making trends, his productions gain traction with the ordinary people, and he is relatively unorthodox."
"Yes, he has rough edges, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage," he continued. "Being edgy means he has ideas but remains a big personality not easily accepted by the authorities."
Early frustrations taught Feng how to live with this reality, one faced by all pioneering auteurs operating in China's stifling cultural climate. He learnt how to compromise to get his productions through the minefield of censorship while meeting his artistic and commercial targets.
"All people should abide by a certain set of rules. That is the precondition for survival in any environment," said Feng during an earlier interview with the International Herald Leader.
However, some claim Feng has struggled to strike this balance with all his releases since 2000. The Banquet (2006), a bloated historical epic based on Hamlet and featuring a stellar cast, performed well at the box office but was critically slammed for bending to commercialism. Two years earlier, the equally star-studded A World Without Thieves received a similar critical barrage.
Feng's follow-up Assembly (2007) was more critically successful, before Aftershock (2010), a story about the catastrophic Tangshan earthquake of 1976, broke box-office records for a domestic release.
Aftershock has become known as Feng's first true "crossover" film, marking the first occasion when the director had directly accepted government backing on a commercial project. The Tangshan municipal government invested heavily in the film, requiring Feng to include the city's name in its Chinese title, amongst other considerations. The film made 660 million yuan (US$105m) at the box office. Zhang Hongsen, director of the Film Bureau under then State Administration of Radio, Film and Television published a 5,000-word article in the People's Daily, hailing the movie's achievement. CCTV also dedicated two daily reports to the movie's continued success.
While Feng had found favor with the cultural authorities, however, he was struggling to retain his popularity with the critics. Despite a widespread international release, Assembly failed to succeed in overseas markets. Aftershock's perceived massaging of history didn't go down well with some critics. Others slammed the movie's extremely graphic levels of violence, which some critics claimed bordered on the pornographic.
Shi Sushi, a Chinese movie critic and blogger, wrote that "Aftershock is undoubtedly a wonderful movie of moral education… Regrettably, history is history. It can't be wiped out or eliminated."
Last year, Feng's Back to 1942, an account of a devastating wartime famine in Henan Province, struggled to connect even with domestic audiences. Some expressed dismay at the movie's overwhelmingly depressing tone. As with Aftershock, others criticized the graphic content, particularly Feng's depictions of starvation and prostitution, with some accusing the director of using gratuitous scenes to secure a bigger market share.
Many observers have expressed hope that Feng's nomination to revitalize the CCTV Gala will lead to the production of a more artistically viable and less moralistic spectacle. "Of all the Chinese movie directors, Feng is the most suitable for directing the Gala," said Gao Jun. "What the Gala needs is sharp edges kept within a safe framework, winning the trust of the government and the acclaim of the younger generation."
However, given Feng's recent output, it remains to be seen how much authority this former maverick will have when it comes to a vision for CCTV's flagship event.
Gao Jun, at least, remains optimistic. "Feng still has sharp edges," he told our reporter. "But now he knows how to smooth them down."

Hello all,
We are playing one of the better teams in both our conference but also our division, on Tuesday.
In watching their game film (against one of the other better teams in the division), I noticed that on man down (for them), their defense always sets up the same.
They place 3 defenders on the crease (right, middle, left)
Their other 2 defenders play more outside splitting the outside players.
My thought for them doing this is to stop up close shots, therefore requiring outside shots, for which the ball has to make it between the crease men and the goalie.
I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on how to beat this defense when we are man up?
General setups would be great, and specific plays would be great.
Whatever you guys have I want to hear!
Thanks in advance.
