While writer's block can be remedied by just looking around at your family or friends, stories can also be started that way. I have read several interviews where authors say they were writing a completely different book when, all of a sudden, they wrote in a minor character. Some dialouge would pass, and all of a sudden the writer would realize they didn't know where the person came from, what their motives are, why they're there. THe character becomes all important, and boom! the old book is thrown away, and a new one is started. This is how Alan Bradley, the author of the award-winning Flavia de Luce books, got his idea- he stumbled upon Flavia innocnetly sitting on a stool in her driveway.
Characters, to me, are the most improtant part of any story. Plot, setting, conflict… there ar many ways to think of ideas. Characters are mine. I will think of a person, or several people. I'll give them hopes, dreams, fears, loves. I'll fill out surveys for them. Ages, birhtdays, favorite things. They can have email accounts, or go on websites, or create odd sonnets. And suddenly they will become so real they need a story where they can play on paper, where the adjectives that take hours to find can stay forever. And that's when I start writing.
One of my favrite main characters, a boy named Griffin, was developed by, as I said at the beginning, going to school. I wrote down a list of all my friends, then started listing traits. Funny, an inability to be serious, shy, outgoing to friends, likes to read, plays basketball, memorized the periodic table of elements, active, obliging, iamginative, exuberant, good at listening….. the list went on. And on. And on. And each trait was put under a name, so I remembered who they came from. Next, I took one element- eloquent- from my friend Julia. Every trait after that was easy- a word from this list, a phrase from this, and adjective from here. It was like making a Frankenstein's monster of sorts, except I was using traits instead of body parts. And the end creation was absolutely lovable to me- a mishmash of people I held dear.
I kept that list, and I use it often any time I need to develop a charcater, brand-new or old. I helps me think of everything to where the character lives to the entire plot. But characters are just my way of thinking- I'd be interested to hear how else to come up with great ideas.

Let me start by saying that Microsoft don't consider this issue as a problem, as you can see here this is a "by design" behavior.
The problem is well described in the referred Connect feedback and it contains a workaround.
Although simple, the workaround requires you to always register the GridView Sorting event and make the tweak according to the current GridView settings. Well, if are like me you will forget to do it half the times needed.
So, I made a not so simple workaround that will take care of the issue for me.
I override the OnSorting method from GridView so I can handle the GridViewEventArgs instance and override its SortDirection value.
To turn this into a general solution I partially reproduce the ParseSortString method from DataTable to find out if the current SortExpression contains either the ASC or DESC keywords.
Here is the code:
public class GridView : global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView{ protected override void OnSorting(GridViewSortEventArgs e) { if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.SortExpression)) { if (this.SortExpression.Equals(this.SortExpression)) { bool isMultipleSortExpression; SortDirection? sortDirection = GetSortDirection(this.SortExpression, out isMultipleSortExpression); if (sortDirection.HasValue) { // To undo bug in GridView.HandleSort(string sortExpression) and then in GridView.CreateDataSourceSelectArguments() e.SortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending; } } } base.OnSorting(e); } private SortDirection? GetSortDirection(string sortExpression, out bool isMultipleSortExpression) { SortDirection? sortDirection = null; isMultipleSortExpression = false; string[] strArray = sortExpression.Split(new char[] { ',' }); for (int i = 0; i < strArray.Length; i++) { string strA = strArray[i].Trim(); int length = strA.Length; if ((length >= 5) && (string.Compare(strA, length - 4, " ASC", 0, 4, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)) { sortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending; } else if ((length >= 6) && (string.Compare(strA, length - 5, " DESC", 0, 5, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)) { sortDirection = SortDirection.Descending; } if (!sortDirection.HasValue) { break; } } if (sortDirection.HasValue) { if (strArray.Length > 1) { isMultipleSortExpression = true; } } return sortDirection; }}
Enjoy it.

TC TO EDWARD FITZGERALD ; 3 October 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18421003-TC-EF-01; CL 15: 115-116
Chelsea, Monday (3 Octr, 1842)
My dear Sir,
The companion of this Note should have been the forerunner of it; being written, in great haste, on Saturday afternoon; triumphantly carried out in my breast-pocket, and then—forgotten till near seven o'clock, when I pulled it out, seeking for my catalogue in an Old-Book shop in Holywell Street! Today I can add this to it; with a certificate that your last packet also has arrived,—the button-seal unbroken, the sketch not injured by its journey.1— You shall be appointed Topographer-General when I come to be King.
You have not sent me the Boy's name (Trooper-and-Cabbage-Yard Boy's2); but if you mark it down on paper, nothing will run away with it; and at present it is not in the least wanted. God knows if it ever will be, for any solid purpose—alas, alas!
No Worsely or Ouseley that I can get trace of was present as a Colonel at Naseby.3 A Sir Charles Wolseley (ancestor, I think, of the present or late Ultra radical) gets himself occasionally named; and became ultimately one of Oliver's Council of State:4 but (tho' my Sprigge, which contains a List of Fairfax's Army, is gone back to Cambridge) I have little or no doubt he was not a Colonel there, or at all there. The name therefore remains enigmatic. There was a Colonel Okey,5 future Regicide, formerly in "Brewer's Stoker in Southwark," who might well enough have left his name: he stood in Langfordy Hedges with his dragoons; it was at his advance, with a sputtering of shot and other dangerous features of conduct, that the King's Horse broke finally away and fled. He was, I think, the most audacious fighter then going, on either side. Alas, I fear your country Digamma6 will not stretch to the length of Colonel Okey; whose name it would have been interesting to find on that ground.
The buttons, I am very glad to consider as new or spurious; for the N.Y.I.,7 indisputable there, is altogether unintelligible otherwise. The stamp indeed looks quite new; far too fresh to have lain two centuries. Besides I rather think they used horn-buttons in those days, and of far larger size.
The accounts of the number killed are very vague. The Parliament-Commissioners' dispatch (written however that same evening) says, "On the King's side 600, on ours not one hundred"; Cromwell, also on the same evening, says Killed and taken about 5,000; which agrees with Chronicler Heath's account, that the number of Prisoners, marched off on the Monday from Harborough towards London, was 4,500. There is a list of all the officers taken. Perhaps 600 in all may be a fair guess for the number killed on both sides. Battles at that time were not fourth-part so deadly as now: their muskets were great clumsy things, with rests to stick in the ground when you fired, bullets carried in your mouth etc. I suppose a man with percussion-caps and cartridges could fire at least ten times as often in a given time. The number engaged at Naseby seems to have been about 10,000 on each side: the Parlt took 8,000 stand of arms; and most of the Horse doubtless got off. The chase lasted thro' Harborough, till within sight of Leicester steeple.— By the by, the "Little chair" does not belong to Lubbenham; it and the "little low room" are at Harborough!8
Thanks heartily for your offer of the new column at Cloister-Well: it must decidedly be done, one day! But unless the very Fates forbid, I mean to be there with you next summer, when the Hills are all green again.
We had Spedding last night, home from Yankee-land; by whom and to whom was honourable mention of you.9 He goes Northward in about a week. The Yankees have not discomposed him; nothing in this world can. He comes home raying forth the same quiet candid light,—white light, or grey mildly contemplative twilight—as when he went.— Adieu, with best thanks,
T. Carlyle

Looking out the window of my guest house in Kalpa, a small village above Recong Peo - Himachal Pradesh Photo: Elena
Ever felt you've been to Heaven?
High in the Himalayas, above the district headquarters of Recong Peo, sits the village of Kalpa. Populated by the Kinnauri People ( notice the typical green cap) this village is not only hard to get to, but beautiful and heavenly to visit between the months of May and October, after which the snows settle in and most passes are closed.
September, 2006 private trip with Elena to Kinnaur and Spiti see Golden-Heron Tours.
The road runs east from Shimla through the picturesque town of Narkanda (2708 M), then goes down to meet the Sutlej river at Luhri after which it follows the Sutlej river upstream via Rampur (130 km) and Recong Peo. Kalpa (altitude 2960 M) is above Recong Peo.
The district headquarters ( Recong Peo) is situated at a distance of 260 km from Shimla and 51 km from Sangla. Two Kilometer away from Powari on the HT Road, towards left side, wide link road leads to Recong Peo and then to Kalpa. Up to Kalpa it is about 20 km and passes through some picturesque villages populated by 1427 souls and was once the favorites haunt of Lord Dalhousie the then Governor General of India.
The climate of this place had cured the Governor General Lord Dalhousie of serious illness. Kalpa is surrounded by apple orchards. There is a temple dedicated to Narenas god.
Kalpa has earned its name because of good quality Chilgoza, which grow in abundance.
Powari is 7 km down to National Highway from Recong Peo. Recong Peo (2290 M).
Looming in front of Kalpa is an impressive view of Kinner Kailash (6050 M) directly across the Sutlej river. This mountain changes colours several times a day with the change of weather conditions. The finest view of the Kinner Kailash massif can be had from above Kalpa at 2865 M.
Parvati Kund is located on top of its massif. The ancient villages of Pangi, Morang and Kanum are situated close to Kalpa going upstream along the Sutlej River and they offer a good opportunity to observe the lifestyle of their inhabitants. A few kilometers from Powari is Ribba, known for grape cultivation.

The road to Rogi, a smaller village beyond Kalpa. A lovely hours hike from Kalpa. You can go by jeep, but you need to close your eyes at times, the drop off the side of the road, to the river a mile below, is fairly scary.
A more scary road would be the road up to the Sangla Valley from the Kinnauri River Road. see photos.

Notes from Elena:
Lord Dalhousie once wrote to the King of England from Kalpa ( it took him 2 weeks of donkey travel to get there during the time he was governing India) and said that perhaps England should be ruled from Kalpa during the summer....
... to which the king of England alledgedly replied: " If you can rule India from Kalpa you may as well rule it from England".
Dalhousie built a summer house there which is quite lovely, but expensive to stay in and difficult to get permission ( in Delhi). Government owned now.
The first photo above was taken from my bedroom in a little guest house on a hill surrounded by apple orchards. It had a little irrigation ditch running by it with a path on the side. Easy and beautiful hiking (level) for miles through forest of big old trees. The 'Road to Rogi' is fairly level as well. A little like walking on a tightrope in the sky ( actually the road is very wide).
September is about the latest one should go up there, you have to be out by mid October, before the snows start and the apples are all picked and shipped out. The earliest would be late April or May. You cannot travel the lower road to Kalpa during the monsoon as it gets flooded and there are many landslides each year, but it does get maintained, as it is a valluable road to India ( goes up to the to frontier with China, 12 km from Sumdo).
Daytimes are quite warm in the sun, but evenings are very cool.
We danced in the moonlight by the side of the road, on our way to Tabo ( Spiti) one night... five of us in a little jeep with driver, driving through the breathtaking upper Himalayas in the middle of the night ( no other such foolish people on the road at all). It was amazing.
here is a road sign that I just loved. Tells how far it is to Pooh ! only 58 km! and Pooh is only 2,837 metres high ( low for these mountains!)

Stacey Bartlett 20 July 2012 - 4:33pm
Crime writers went head-to-head at Harrogate about the devaluation of writing thanks to slashed e-book prices in 'Wanted for Murder: the e-book'
Mark Lawson chaired an impassioned debate about the e-book at Harrogate, aptly titled 'Wanted for Murder'. Mark Billingham and Laura Lippman – who were sitting in the audience - felt compelled to cut in at some of the controversial things panelists were saying about e-books, arguing that authors like thriller writer Stephen Leather (a panelist) were devaluing books by selling them on Amazon at slashed prices.
Leather also somewhat tastelessly joked that 'e-book pirates', who share digital copies of books for free, much like music pirates, "are doing my marketing for me" – which prompted an audience member to shout: "tosser!" Titters and cat-calls from Billingham, Lippman and their neighbours invoked an impassioned debate; Lippman, spurred by an audience member who introduced herself as a writer who wrote e-books because she had trodden the publishing circuit with no luck "for three months" before publishing online, earnestly said: "Patience on the writer's side is not ill-advised." Lippman, author of the New York Times-bestselling Tess Monaghan books, said she was rejected by more than a hundred publishers before her debut novel was published, and it took eighteen months of trying.
The general feeling in the air at the Old Swan in Harrogate was that authors such as Leather - who was joined on stage by fellow author Steve Mosby, agent Philip Patterson, bookseller Patrick Neale and VP of the Publisher's Association Ursula Mackenzie – were selling out by publishing e-book-only books "worth less than half the price of a cup of tea", as Billingham phrased it, adding: "disgraceful".
The panelists alluded to the almost-worthlessness of the e-book and therefore the book; Neale, of Jaffé and Neale Bookshop in Chipping Norton, said that customers would happily pay £4 for a greeting card, but try and haggle over the price of a £6.99 paperback on the basis they would be able to get it cheaper on Amazon. "These take authors a year of their lives," he added, rendering Leather's announcement that he often sells 100,000 word e-books for £2.99 dumbfounding.
"I will spend four days writing a 7,000 word short story and sell it online for 70p," Leather said. "That's 20p for me. If it was sold in a supermarket I might get 7 per cent of the sale, but e-books are [up to] 70 per cent."
"So you're happy to work for five pence per day?" Ursula Mackenzie interjected, to titters from the audience and outrage from authors who clearly felt their work was being devalued. Billingham finished with the argument that no wonder people are reluctant to shell out for physical books when they are practically given away. "We've got to stop free and 20p books," said Mackenzie, to a round of applause from the hundreds-strong audience.
Ironically, all panel members said they preferred physical books to e-books, but acknowledged that in publishing "speed is a dangerous thing".

I have Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) and when I plug a vga or HDMI cable I can't see the second monitor and the I only see a mess main monitor, like this screenshot http://ubuntuone.com/p/rBo/.
I often use a second monitor with my laptop, which has an Intel GM965 video card. Usually it works fine, sometimes it fails in one of the two ways:
VGA hotplug detection works for me in 11.04 (it didn't in 10.10 or earlier versions), so it's enough for me to plug in a monitor and wait about a second for it to be autoconfigured. If this doesn't happen for you, or if Ubuntu's chosen autoconfiguration (cloned display versus extended desktop) is not to your liking, you can run
I don't have a HDMI connection on my laptop, so I cannot say from personal experience if there are any bugs affecting HDMI.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Herbed Turkey
"This I a tasty marinade and I used it too cook a bone in turkey breast. My family really enjoyed it."
"I made this for thanksgiving last year, it was a big hit. I loved it because I made it the day before in the crock pot and just heated it up for dinner. Great recipe and I will be making it again :)"
"The marinade, when just made and cold, was wonderful and left me anxious to enjoy this entree. But after it was cooked--whoa. Not so good. Maybe it was the oddness of Dijon mustard and lemon and onion soup mix on turkey; I don't know. Seems like too many competing flavors. I've made this boneless breast dozens of times, and I so prefer it plain over this version. My husband thought it was ok, but he eats just about anything. I unfortunately made this today for T'giving. Wasted an expensive roast. :("
"This turned out great and I cut the recipe in half."
"I have a regular, full sized blender and this amount of marinade only filled it 1/2 full. This is the best tasting turkey ever!"

In RAGE, is there an add-on of sorts for the sniper rifle to help with the crazy kickback when the gun is shot while fully zoomed? If so, can it be built or purchased somewhere? I noticed other add-ons for the shotgun, and the sniper rifle does get a loading mod.
I was able to luck my way through the first Job Board sniper mission in Wellspring, but am having trouble getting through the next one with the caravan.

Vhong Navarro's case is surrounded by more intrigue today as the rape accusations made against the Philippine actor take on yet another sub-plot. Navarro named a very well-known and powerful VIP, who is a businessman in the Philippines, as the man who orchestrated the attack on him that he has been reporting in the media, according to the Entertainment Inquirer.net on Jan. 26.
Navarro was accused of trying to rape a woman at her Bonifacio Global City condo. The woman gave a very detailed statement of the alleged attempted rape, which included him holding her down on a bed and pulling off her short-shorts. Her story ends with a group of her friends stopping by just as Navarro was on top of her and she was screaming for help.
Her group of friends then allegedly made a citizen's arrest and carted Navarro off to the police station. But that's not at all what happened claims Navarro from his hospital bed. He claims that he was set up.
Vhong Navarro's bizarre alleged rape case spins heads in the Philippines
Navarro then gave a story completely different from the alleged victim saying that he was tied up and beaten at this condo by six men. He also made the very serious accusation that the ring leader and the man who orchestrated this attack as Cedric Lee, a very prominent businessman in the Philippines.
Police have heard what Navarro has said to the media, but he's never made a formal complaint to the police in this case, so they are not investigating this, according to a new report by the Entertainment Inquirer today. The actor is still in the hospital recuperating from this beating that he alleges he endured in a blackmail attempt, not as a result of people pulling him off an alleged rape victim.
Navarro also signed what they are calling a police blotter, which sounds like the equivalent of a document that is used for a formal complaint. The "blotter" he signed says that he was trying to rape this woman. He says he only signed this because he was blackmailed.
They threatened they would go to the media if he didn't sign. Navarro was allegedly ordered by these men who beat him to put 1 million in a bank account. This was to "repay the damage" he allegedly did to the woman now identified in this case as the alleged victim, Deniece Millet Cornejo, 22.
Navarro reports that the men who beat him also sexually harassed him and they videotaped the ordeal. He claims he was told if he did what this group told him to do they would not release this embarrassing tape to the media. He said he was let go because they were under the impression that he was going to go to the bank and deposit the money they demanded. He did not, instead he is now in a hospital.
Navarro said he is ready for them now and "I need to be brave." He also gave more details of the night in question. He said he knew Cornejo for a few years, but they only agreed to see each other again this January. It was Jan. 17 when he claims that he was an invited quest to Cornejo's condo and she even met him in the lobby when he arrived that night.
They did not have sex, they drank wine and just "hung out at her place." He also said that it was apparent that she was attracted to him. When he left she sent him a text message calling him a "bad boy." He thought she meant that was because nothing sexual happened between the two and texted her back, "I'm sorry."
Then on Jan. 22 she invited him over again and was going to cook dinner for him. He also said she started to call him "sweetie," which didn't sit well with him, he thought it was odd. When he arrived he felt something was wrong. Three men came out of a room pointing guns at him and this is when Cedric introduced himself.
It was Cedric that tied his hands and feet with duct tape, claims Navarro. Once they blindfolded Navarro, the beating began he said. They took his shorts off of him and he then heard more men come in to "beat him up." He said it was a man in a "green body-fit shirt that gave him the directions to deposit half a million in a bank account.
The man later changed it to 1 million. Navarro said the guy tried to change the amount once again to 2 million while they were at the police department, but he told him he didn't have that much money. Navarro claims this was at the police station when the men told the police that they brought him in under a citizen's arrest after he tried to rape their friend, Cornejo.
Again police said they have heard Navarro's story, but only from the media. Either Navarro or his lawyer needs to make a complaint for the police to follow up on his accusations. This story is really odd, with tons of holes in it. There is only one thing known for sure and that is someone is lying. These two very different accounts have nothing in common, only that Navarro was injured. His injuries were severe enough that he needed to spend time in a hospital.

Taylor '84 Profiled for Work in Phoenix School
Princeton men's basketball alumnus Brian Taylor '84 has become headmaster of a charter school in Phoenix after spending much of his career in education in Los Angeles.
Hired at Teleos Prep this past May, Taylor was recently profiled by KPNX-TV in Phoenix, the local NBC affiliate, for his work at the school. Have a look at the video below to see Taylor in action.
Taylor entered Princeton in the Class of 1973 and played two seasons with the Tigers, scoring 1,239 points in those two seasons. He began his professional career in the ABA with the New York Americans, for whom he played for four seasons, before moving on to the NBA for stints with the Kansas City Kings, Denver Nuggets and San Diego Clippers, finishing his career in 1982.
Taylor, a Perth Amboy, N.J., native, completed his Princeton degree in 1984.

You can't escape it. Everyone's talking about HTML5. it's perhaps the most hyped technology since people started putting rounded corners on everything and using unnecessary gradients. In fact, a lot of what people call HTML5 is actually just old-fashioned DHTML or AJAX. Mixed in with all the information is a lot of misinformation, so here, JavaScript expert Remy Sharp and Opera's Bruce Lawson look at some of the myths and sort the truth from the common misconceptions.

I'm going to make a bold prediction. Long after you and I are gone, HTML will still be around. Not just in billions of archived pages from our era, but as a living, breathing entity.

Secrets of Success
Drowning VS Living Strong
Sunday, January 13, 2013
This past week I felt like a big polar bear that was holding on to my iceberg and drowning.
I did a lot of self talk because I was doing so well up until this past Monday and then it was just like a light switch shut off in my brain.
So these are the things that I think I was allowing to cloud my days.
1. It was the first week back to normal after 3 weeks of holidays - not that I took off 3 weeks, but I worked on 3 full days in the past 3 weeks. So I will call this the holiday let down.
2. It was my birthday on Thursday and I really wanted to celebrate it somehow, but I was feeling so blue that I couldn't even come up with how I wanted to celebrate. So the day went by just like all the others. (at least no cake was devoured)
3. The weather has changed to extremely cold and I was still recovering from the allergy pills that I took last week - so all I wanted to do was bundle up and hunker down (which didn't include running or walking or exercising, for that matter)
4. I wanted comfort food, but I was too lazy to even get up and make some or even go buy some already made. (Saving grace here is that I didn't overeat)
5. I wanted to watched old time movies, old TV shows, lay on the couch and be a potato.
We just added HBO to our cable and the new choices of movies was quite enticing.
So yesterday I decided that enough was enough.
1. I put on my running shoes and pulled on my big girl panties and got my body moving again.
2. I made a list of good, healthy dinner meals so that when I go grocery shopping I can have some idea of what the next few weeks menus are going to be.
3. I weighed myself and found that I didn't gain, nor did I lose - just lost my momentum and my motivation for awhile
4. Got myself back reading Spark blogs and feeling some happiness come drifting back into my head.
5. Talked to my S. O. about planning a good trip for Sept or Oct - to a hot climate - so I can have something to dream about for the next few months.
Anyway, these are not huge thoughts - but just strong enough to pull me out of the water and put me back onto the frozen ice, because I am still feeling like a polar bear. (I am not use to weather in the 20's.
What do you do when you get the winter blues?

I had looked over your blog earlier, but didn't have time to comment. I had noticed that I wasn't seeing much of you on SP, of course, I've been a bit absent myself. I was thinking last Sunday that I wanted to send you a goodie letting you know I was thinking of you and missed you, then I saw this blog.
Hope that you are well and strong in the journey. Struggling a bit here!

I hear you loud and clear, Joann. This week is the first week that I've felt 'normal' since Christmas afternoon. I've had the flu that comes and goes and comes back again. I was pretty off-track a lot of that time. :( I didn't feel like cooking, either, and often just managed to get dinner for the kids. I certainly didn't overeat during that time. Which is a big reason I got so mad at the scale when it didn't move.
My birthday is coming up at the end of the month so we were both born in the coldest month of the year. Brrrrrr. It's a big one for me. My son's is 2 days before mine so we will celebrate on the weekend, but my birthday is on a Monday and I know nothing important will happen that day. I'll be lucky if anyone even remembers. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't 'programmed' to make a big deal out of birthdays. So I'm already psyching myself up for that day ~ to NOT be disappointed. :)
I was exactly like you about just getting HBO and watching tons of movies. We just got an HBO package in Dec. :) I watched some movies on HBO and some classics. Would you believe that before Turner Classic Movies was available in Canada, I went to Montana, bought a Dish Network dish, got a PO box to get my bills sent to, went home and paid someone to install it. JUST so I could get TCM. I laugh at myself now ~ but I had that dish for about 10 years before I finally let it go. That is how much I love movies ~ especially classics. :) Don't get me started on the recent award shows ~ which are my passion. ;)
On top of it all, I almost always get post-Christmas 'blues'. After the gifts are open and dinner is done, its like ~ "Now what . . . . " and I really have to fight depression.
Anyway, I am so glad that we are both back on track and feeling better, in all ways. Thank you for your comments on my last blog about the scale, etc. It helped me to get a better understanding of things that were bothering me. :)

Well you did a good thing by getting in some exercise and motivating yourself by reading some fun blogs. You are taking steps in the right direction. The advice I always give myself when I don't want to follow my plan is, "Go ahead and do it, then you can complain about how you don't want to from a position of having already done it. " It feels good, doesn't it!

I'm pretty much in the same place as you are, except I gained 4 lbs! Fortunately, 3 of them are gone already. I'm getting by by sticking with my fitness regimen and planning lots of fun activities to keep my spirits up. My calories haven't been the greatest, but at least not totally out of control, like in December. I just have to keep fighting until my mojo kicks in again.
Good luck!

I totally understand, I get that way too and December was my bad month! I have SAD, which is Seasonal Affective Disorder a type of depression and get it off and on, even in FL. It is so hard to battle that!! You even get to craving carbs like you wouldn't believe...like a bear that wants to hibernate! SP keeps me motivated on a daily basis, if I didn't have it those moods like you described would probably be more constant. You did what I do, get outside and go! Only we walk, not run. Glad you didn't gain!! That is awesome!!!
Good for you!! Keep at it!!

================================================================ I finally found the reason with oprofile. It was because the routing cache of Symfony. We have lots of pages with different urls and symfony caches them in one file (serialized data). So the cache file grows large and it needs more CPU to serialize and unserialize data.
Everything went well after I disabled the routing cache
Recently I updated my PHP program on my web server (Centos 5.3 + PHP 5.2.6), but it puts a heavy load on my server. So I decided to use oprofile to find what makes my server slow.
I've successfully installed oprofile but what's next? Does anyone have practical experience tuning an apache server?

Extreme heat increases Arizona shelter demands
PHOENIX - An excessive heat warning was issued for Maricopa County this week which means that Central Arizona Shelter Services will receive an increase in demand.
Each night, CASS provides shelter to over 900 men, women and children and when extreme heat hits the Valley that number usually increases around 22 percent to over 1,100.
Heat-related deaths are a fact during the summer in the Arizona desert and the 8,000 men, women and children that are experiencing homelessness are even more susceptible to it. They are more exposed to the sun which increases their risk for illness and death.
Irving Williams is homeless and sleeps at CASS every night.
"This place if a gift from God," said Williams. "It's a safe haven."
Between 2000 and 2012, there were more than 1,500 heat-related deaths and each year nearly 2,000 people visit Arizona emergency rooms for heat-related illnesses.
CASS provides shelter to these men, women and children and tries to decrease the deaths and illnesses by not turning anybody away during the extreme heat conditions.
"This is the best homeless shelter in the U.S.," said Williams.
CASS also distributes heat relief health kits and bottled water to help aid those who may suffer from extreme heat.
If you would like to donate to CASS to help their efforts, visit their website.

Wedding Cake Traditions
A number of traditions are associated with the wedding cake...
The cake is said to symbolise fertility and the couple's shared life together.
Traditionally, the top tier of the fruitcake was kept back for the couple's first child's christening.
It was once believed that any single person who slept with a slice of wedding cake under their pillow would dream that night of their future spouse.
It used to be customary to send a slice of fruitcake to those unable to attend the wedding.

Stay fresh with job searches during the winter because even though things are slow employers are still reviewing resumes and job applications. The winter months are frustrating for everyone because it is a cold season but while many are staying indoors you can follow the hints below to get that job interview.
1) Refresh resume; read through resume and if it needs updating of job skills or job experience then add those updates.
2) Update your Linked In profile; visit your profile page and refresh the words of your summary to draw in more connections.
3) Update job website accounts with new resume; log into your current accounts and upload the new resume just built so every employer can now review it.
4) Visit new job websites; make a plan to research job site accounts and create two accounts, upload your job resume onto website then start the next phase of your job searching plan.
5) Using the example of five job websites accounts; every week find two positions you are interested in and apply for it. That equals 10 jobs per week you have applied for. Now if you were to have 10 job websites and planned applying for two jobs per website that's 20 jobs in one week you have applied for which you can be quite proud of accomplishing.
The goal of this little exercise is it keeps you busy during the winter months, it brushes up your resume, and it lets employers know you want to be hired and work for them. Good luck with getting that job interview!

Robert Parker 98+ Points
A dense ruby/purple-tinged color offers up notes of forest floor, subtle wood smoke, mulberries, black cherries, cassis and a hint of lead pencil shavings. There is even a floral component lurking in the intricate aromatic profile. The wine is medium to full-bodied with wonderful intensity that builds incrementally and has a long, silky, luscious finish. There is plenty of tannin, but it is largely concealed by the wine's beautiful fruit and ethereal complexity. Given its virtually perfect balance, this brilliant Haut-Bailly should age effortlessly for 3-4 decades.This is a tour de force in winemaking, particularly for readers seeking the quintessential example of a Bordeaux that combines compelling complexity and finesse with significant flavor authority and intensity. I suppose we could see this coming as American owner, Robert Wilmers, along with his winemaker/manager, Veronique Sanders, continue to push the envelope. Yields were extremely low in 2009, and the final blend was an intriguing concoction of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It came in just under 14% natural alcohol, which makes it among one of the more powerful Haut-Baillys produced. However, power is not the hallmark of this wine. This terroir is known to produce relatively light wines, and by reducing yields and picking riper fruit, Wilmers and Sanders have achieved a level of concentration and intensity that is unprecedented for Haut-Bailly. That said, they have not lost any of these wines' stunning elegance, finesse or aromatic complexity.
Wine Spectator 94 Points
Offers a rich, very dense feel, but stays racy thanks to a strong graphite frame around the core of roasted fig, plum sauce and maduro tobacco. Muscular but defined on the finish, with a long tarry edge in reserve. This shows serious depth and is more backward than most of its peers. Should really stretch out nicely in the cellar. Best from 2017 through 2035.—J.M.
Neal Martin's Wine Journal 92-94 Points
Tasted at the chateau, the sample taken 16th March from a pre-blend of the Merlot and three lots of Cabernet (probably no pressed wine this year) and a second sample at a negociant. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc with 55% new barrels. A very deep garnet/black colour. This has a very refined nose of blackcurrant, raspberry, wild hedgerow, a nice minerality all with very good delineation but very tightly wound at the moment: this really does demand coaxing from the glass. With further aeration, that minerality is really coming through nicely (much more so than at the chateau!) The palate is full-bodied with a soft entry, grippy tannins, structure on the entry, dense black ripe fruit with an underlying stoniness. It is the follow through, like a wave crashing onto the back palate that really marks this wine out, with very fine persistency and minerality towards the finish. Silky and slightly creamy in texture towards the finish. Superb. Tasted April 2010.
Jancis Robinson 16.5/20 Points
Firm, aromatic. Certainly not forced and nicely balanced but I think I stick with my initial impressions that this is not an absolute standout - just very respectable indeed, as usual.
Decanter 18.5/20 Points
Dense purple red, quite rich cassis fruit with fragrant wild roses concentration, great clarity, depth and precision over succulently ripe vineyard fruit, still quite reserved, a wine of undeniable beauty and class. Drink 2015-30.

This article was written by Oilprice.com -- the leading provider of energy news in the world. Also check out this recent article:
A series of earthquakes hit eastern Ohio on March 10 prompting officials to halt hydraulic fracturing operations as they investigated the cause. The earthquake occurred in Mahoning County near seven drilling sites owned by Hillcorp Energy.
In a region that has not historically had a high frequency of earthquakes, the occurrence of earthquakes central and southern regions of the U.S. have increased by a factor of 20. After a well is fractured, the waste water is pushed back into the ground for storage in what are known as "injection wells." Scientists believe that there is evidence to support the idea that injection wells are contributing to the rise in earthquakes, rather than the "frack" job itself. However, the latest series of earthquakes occurred in an area without waste injection wells, but they were located near wells that are actively being drilled. This has raised questions about the connection between fracking and earthquakes.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources suspended the drilling operations out of "an abundance of caution." Hilcorp Energy, the operator of the nearby wells, agreed with the agency.
Back in 2011 several large earthquakes hit near Youngstown, Ohio. Scientists have linked that incident with injection wells. Elsewhere, earthquakes have also seen an uptick in drilling areas. Oklahoma is now the second most seismically active area, after California. The oil and gas industry have argued that the link between injection wells and earthquakes is weak and needs more study before regulators halt drilling operations.
Eastern Ohio has seen a proliferation of drilling activity in the last few years. The industry has been able to rapidly increase production in this part of the state, pulling liquid rich natural gas and oil from the Marcellus and Utica Shales.
America's energy boom is far from over
Record oil and natural gas production is revolutionizing the United States' energy position. Finding the right plays while historic amounts of capital expenditures are flooding the industry will pad your investment nest egg. For this reason, the Motley Fool is offering a comprehensive look at three energy companies set to soar during this transformation in the energy industry.

Stimulating the Economy, the Green Way
In honor of Earth Day yesterday, the Center for Economic and Policy Research offered three proposals to boost the U.S. economy, while decreasing the country's energy emissions.
First, they suggest increasing tax credits for energy-efficient residential and commercial properties. The group admits that a similar program had limited effectiveness in 2004-2006, but says that contractors now have more incentive to participate now that the housing boom has gone bust.
Second, the CEPR says the government should do more to promote mass transit, including a one-time grant program to reduce fares on mass transit for one year. "This would provide a substantial incentive for commuters to try public transportation and at the same time put money directly in transit riders' pockets," the group said.
Finally, the center suggests that officials should subsidize pay-as-you-drive auto insurance. The move would provide motorists with an incentive not to use their cars, but could avoid some of the political pitfalls that dog other measures to drive down energy consumption, such as a higher gas tax. "If insurance were paid on a per mile basis, it would provide roughly the same disincentive to drive as a $2 per gallon gas tax," the CEPR said. –Phil Izzo

Society of Pleasures: Interdisciplinary Readings in Pleasure and Power During the Reign of Louis XVI
In the days of Louis XIV, the experience of pleasure was as much a social and political tool as as essential ingredient in personal life. Kathryn Hoffmann, in an interdisciplinary volume, explores this 'society of pleasures' by studying the strange couplings of pleasure, power and knowledge which took shape within it. She analyzes the politics of pleasure and knowledge arising in notions of public rights, conundrums of aesthetics, and the politics of erotics. In so doing, Hoffmann reveals that the society of pleasures was not law, or policy, or an exact procedure of totalizing power, but a state and a people where the logic of pleasure always contained the trap of violent oppression, a place where desire and forces, the caress and the grip, informed and fed upon each other. A unique work which manages to intertwine both canonical literary works and documents from the margins of history, philosophy, and gastronomy, Society of Pleasures locates the passions and essence of a legendary society and traces the routes to the modern in the fissures of an absolutist dream.

William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens becomes Barbara Gaines' Timon of Athens in the latest offering of Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Significantly edited to include a prologue and final scene nowhere to be found in the original text, there's no doubt but that the production is accessible and entertaining. But it's also lacking in a crucial definition of character – while Gaines uses vivid images to depict the titular character at his most philanthropic and his most misanthropic, she fails to unearth the core motivations for those two extremes. We see what Timon does quite clearly in Timon of Athens. Why he does it – the inner soul of the man- remains largely a mystery.
Timon of Athens is bookended by scenes not in Shakespeare's play. At the onset, the audience is treated to the sight of a barrage of stock prices projected onto a neon scroll, traders frantically gesticulating as the market waxes and wanes. Timon industries, it would seem, is a mega-millions super corporation. Its CEO, we learn shortly, has a penchant for showy generosity. Gifting his guests at a lavish dinner with everything from his horse to "a brace of greyhounds," Timon refuses to accept anything in return. When a servant reveals that a lack of funds is preventing his marriage to the woman he loves, when a friend languishes in debtors prison, Timon fixes all with an outpouring of funds. For this he is beloved – or at least, he has the perception of being beloved. What Timon is soon to find out, however, is that what is beloved is his money. The man himself is out in the cold – literally - once the well runs dry.
Chicago Shakespeare's production has a substantial asset in Ian McDiarmid, who brings Timon to life with energy and complexity. It's no easy task, morphing from benevolent to bitter in the course of a few scenes, but McDiarmid manages ably.
There's more than a little of King Lear in Timon of Athens. Both former and latter are unwise in divesting their fortunes, both wind up railing and naked under the elements, cave-dwellers who have turned their backs on civilization. And both have a faithful servant who shows true loyalty amid a fickle circle of false friends. For Timon, that servant is Flavius (Sean Fortunato, nicely capturing the integrity and frustration of a genuinely caring man who is utterly stymied in his attempts to look out for his master's best interests), the lone honest man in a swarm of sycophants. While the others help themselves to Timon's largesse, Flavius tries to confront his master with the harsh realities of his empty coffers. Timon, of course, fails to heed him.
Fortunato's not the only one to turn in some distinctive character work in the drama, which Gaines has put in a sleek, minimalist and sophisticated contemporary setting (set designer Kevin Depinet has created an environment that's all polished edges and smooth surfaces). As the lone man who lavishes pointed criticism rather than fawning flattery on Timon, James Newcomb brings a sharp wit and a blunt honesty to the contrarian character of Apamantus. Amid the opportunist hangers-on who surround Timon, he's a breath of fresh (albeit caustic) air. If Flavius is the soul of integrity, Apamantus has the heart of a true cynic. And as the soldier Alcibades, Danforth Comins has the requisite square-jawed profile and stalwart demeanor.
But although Timon of Athens benefits from several strong performances and a strong, contemporary concept, it falters in its incorporation of music. Gaines has threaded the script through with rock and electronica, harsh, disruptive sounds that don't contribute to the story so much as they make it come to a complete halt. The music is jarring rather than seamlessly woven into the narrative - every time it starts the audience is abruptly removed from the action on stage. There's also a bit of overkill in the song selection: Do we really need lyrics informing us that there are rats in the room every time Timon's fair-weather friends start scuttling around the stage? And while black-feathered ballerinas twirling to an electronic version of Swan Lake make for a visually provocative interlude, they have little connection to the action. One suspects Gaines included it to illustrate the decadence with which Timon treats his guests, but as post-modern ballets go, this one feels like it wandered in from another show entirely.
Like Lear, Timon is left exposed to the elements, ranting at fortune and mankind in the final act. But it's Flavius who gets the final, wordless moment here, significantly altering the ending Shakespeare wrote. In the text, Alcibades – like Fortinbras in Hamlet – gets the last word, the soldier offering wise words in the wake of a tragedy. Gaines has dispensed with Timon's epitaph entirely, choosing instead to set up Flavius as the future star of Timon: the Sequel. It's a valid choice, but it seems too easy. Far more difficult would have been to leave the audience with a clearer understanding of what drove Timon to such extremes of benevolence and consequent malevolence in the first place.
Timon of Athens continues through June 10 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, 800 E. Grand Ave., (Navy Pier), Chicago. Tickets are $44 - $75. For more information, go to www.chicagoshakes.com or click here.

Three Little Words
Growing up my family was always very affectionate. We still are. I hug and kiss them when I see them and we never leave each other without saying "I love you." Naturally, when Harlan was born, I was very affectionate with her. I kissed her and hugged her often and always told her I loved her.
As she gets older {and is now starting to form opinions of her own} I see that my affection is rubbing off on her. The first thing she does when I get home is come up and give me a great big hug. She gives MacKay and I a kiss as soon as she wakes up in the morning. She is the most loving and affectionate little girl I know.
I tell her I love her as often as I can. I want her to know just how much I adore and cherish her. She will say it back almost all of the time and the words melt my heart. On Monday though, those three little words took on a whole new meaning.
Harlan and I were sitting on the couch relaxing when she tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention. Thinking that she was going to ask me for another snack or drink, I just looked at her. "Mama" she said trying to get my attention again. "Yes, Harlan," I replied. "I love you," she said softly. "I love you, too Har." I told her with a huge grin.
This was the first time she has ever told me that. I am always the one to initiate it. This time, I didn't have to. I don't know if she really knows what it means, but at that moment I realized that she knows it's a sign of affection. It was one of my proudest moments as a mother. She loves me. And with all of the hugs and kisses that shows me she loves me, she now wants to tell me too.
I love you too, Har.

Incredibly sweet. It melts my heart when my daughter says that to me, unprovoked. Swoon!
Awww, that's so sweet! I can't wait for my little one to tell me that!
I really just got goosebumps from reading that…I can't wait until my little boy can say that. That's the sweetest thing ever! And those pics…so beautiful and sweet!
So sweet. It's so special when they say that for the first time unprompted.
You are soooo right about those little three words!!! I melt when my girls say it to me followed by a kiss.. I can't wait for my son to say it( 5 months now)!!
Oh that is so sweet! I can't wait until Carter can say I love you! I can only imagine how it melts your heart 🙂
Isn't that the BEST?! So sweet. I love watching Soleil nurture her babies and dolls (and even her water bottle???) with hugs and kisses and reassurance… it finally dawned on me one day that all that "cute" behaviour is a spot-on impersonation of me caring for her as a baby. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing proof that all of that love we express to them gets totally absorbed and reciprocated!
so, so sweet. and nice that harlan will have this post to read herself one day and remember! today all my little guy has said to me is "outside," "chalk" and "no."
he better be saving up his good material for after his nap!
That is so sweet! LOVE!
Such a precious moment! So sweet and tender 🙂
Awww, so sweet!Just wait until she says "You're the best Mommy in the whole wide world" or you are out doing something together and she looks up at you and says "this is the best day ever". How it melts our hearts. Always listen because what they say is usually pretty important:)
Isn't it the best! We say it everyday to each other and it melts my heart every time – truly a time to cherish.
OMG! How amazing! I cannot wait to hear those words!
OH GRACIOUS! I just found your blog and I love it here! Your hair is perfect, your pictures are perfect, and don't even get me started on that dumpling of yours! Glad to have found you 🙂
That is SO sweet!!! It really, really is!
The first time Chase told me he loved me I was just so overwhelmed and touched. It's such a special moment.
[…] Three Little Words by @AMommyintheCity […]
Harlan is so sweet! I used to be the one to initiate the "I love you's" all the time with Aiden. But then once when he was about 25 months, he came up to me and said, "I love mommy!" and gave me a hug and kiss. Since then, he initiates it just as much as I do. And it's so so sweet!

Australia have fallen just short of defending their Women's Asian Cup title as they fell to a 1-0 loss to the World Champions in the final at Thing Nhat Stadium on Sunday.
The Matildas started the match well putting the pressure on Japan and within one minute had their first chance of the match.
Lisa De Vanna played a through ball which played Sam Kerr clean through, stunning the Japanese defense only for Kerr to put the ball over the bar.
Australia can continued their attack and Kerr had another chance in the following moments as a Michelle Heymann header found Kerr, who was left open, but sent her shot right at the keeper.
Japan started to work their way back in to the match and in the 28th minute they hit the lead, thanks to a corner as Azusa Iwashimizu got in between defenders and sent her header in to the back of the net.
That goal spurred Japan on and they kept attacking for the remainder of the half, causing the Australians all sorts of problems.
Australia's physicality was proving a strong asset but they were still unable to break through, with De Vanna setting up Heyman toward the end of the half but the keeper was quick off her line to deny the chance.
Alen Stajcic made a change at the half bringing on Laura Alleway in defense, which allowed Australia to make the switch from defense to attack much faster.
The second half saw Australia start well and in the early stages they could well have managed to get back in front but Kerr's powerful shot from outside the box went right to the keeper.
In the 53rd minute Heyman had the chance to put Australia back on level terms as she had space and the opportunity to score but her effort was much too easy for the keeper.
Just after that chance Australia had another as Van Egmond sent a ball for Heyman which she got on to the end of but couldn't find the target.
Australia made changes in the late stages as they looked to attack Japan and it certainly had that effect as the Australians were by far the better side in the closing stages.
Late on Japan could well have gone two up as they saw an effort come back off the post before Australia went down the other end and thought they'd equalized, only for Kerr to be deemed offside.
For all of Australia's effort, Japan were doing well, controlling out the closing stages as they kept that effort up, showing their skill as world champions.

Rating: (R)
User reviews on Pandorum
It looks like a pile of crap I'll never pay to see. But of course, knowing my life, I'll be bored one night, and it will seem like the best idea I've ever had...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mm mm. (sorry, had to be 45 words)
This film is for a niche audience - the kind that would enjoy seeing people have to hide in a lake of pre-digested human body parts and who enjoy watching spider-people eating human bodies. I was literally nauseated through most of the movie, and I walked out at the 3/4 mark.
Outside the Century Stadium 14 theaters there was a homeless guy sleeping under his grocery push-cart. My money would have been better spent giving the money to him than watching Pandorum.
I'm not saying I'm going to ever watch this movine, I think it is going to be too scary for me. But I did meet Travis Malloy the writer of this movie on Sunday night in Vail with his parents and sister's family and his children. He is from my home town of Brainerd. His parents had my family over for dinner.
Typical space drama concerning the future of planet earth and the alternatives we have to face. The acting was top shelf with special effects very believable. The suspense was timely and the plot twisted with annoying unexplainable flashbacks.
Over all I liked the movie and found it entertaining. I recommend this movie to all sci-fie enthusiast.
I thought this was a pretty good movie. It was a little far fetched but that's why it is called science fiction. The movie kind of lost me during the last fight scene but over all was able to hold my interest (and that can't be said about too many films).
First off im a big sci fi fan and honestly this movie wasn't terreble but it was way to long. the cretures look like 1 part the LOTR orcs and 1 part the cretures in the decent. Honestly save your mney and get it on video.
I was mad as hell at this movie!
Two astronauts awaken after many years of travel and next, out of the blue, comes these monsters..then they disappear. Oh, and these monsters carry flashlights to see. They come across a woman ninja, who manages to restore light to protect the cargo (in the midst of a ship full of monsters with flashlights, and in a period of a few months). Then they come across another ninja dude who speaks no english but also manages to survive among the monsters.
Oh, it was dumb, it wasn't scary, and the parts where it's suppose to be tense wasn't b/c it was too obvious the producer wanted you to be tense there (like the part in the end when he just can't make it to the reactor, falls in with the monsters, and dons some outfit to blend in and hide his smell).
See it if you wish, but, I won't be seeing this again!

I'm running CruiseControl.NET Version : 1.6.7981.1 on Window Server. I have 4 project set up. Only one (let's call it A) checks source control automatically every 4000 seconds. The others (B,C,D) are manual only.
Right now A is just sitting there Getting source. I checked the code directory and it was out of date. So I updated the code directory. Attempted to stopped the cc service, it would not stop. Force killed the cc service. Cleaned out the artifacts, and all the other old files. Started the cc service. Now I'm in the same boat. It still just shows Getting source.
A is in it's own queue. B, C, and D all build on command without issue.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

I have 3 tomcat servers where users get into all time. They are 3 because the processing of each request is heavy (lot of sql). Users enters to server 1 or 2 or 3. Now I want to make them "one". I know I need do clustering but, will clustering spread the requests thru the 3 servers or here is where I need implement load balancing with apache2 ?
You can use mod _ jk http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/
Remember to set sticky _ session on the mod _ jk and tomcat connector
You are going to be creating a virtual "one" machine that the outside of your "cluster" or load balanced architecture will only see as one actual machine. For example, you have one Real IP address (the outside routable IP) and 3 virtual IP's (the internal ip that the load balancer assigns) It also depends on how your application is put together. Does it have sessions? Is it stateful or not?
Load balancers such as loadbalacer.org or kemp technologies can forward people with specific sessions to a specific server (A, B, or C) until the session ends and then may move them to another server for load balancing.
The end result (users browser) doesn't care what server it is actually on, it only ever see's the one Real IP address and is sending session information in the hopes that it's request will be answered properly. Just that if it sends sessions information the server that the load balancer sends them to knows what it is and will route it, and distribute incoming user load accordingly.
Take a look at Teracotta for web sessions.

You might want to look closely at the driver on your next cab ride. It might just be a Super Bowl MVP-winning quarterback.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees hasn't had a job this offseason while sitting out team activities because of a contract dispute with the club.
So he's had plenty of time to devote to sponsors and other off-field interests, among them a new initiative with PACE (Protecting Athletes Through Concussion Education) and Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation to help prevent and increase the awareness of head trauma in youth sports.
The program provides free concussion testing for more than 3,300 middle and high schools and youth sports organizations.
