Skip to comments.The Woodstock Myth
Posted on 08/16/2004 1:17:29 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Who could forget the sitar-like harmonies of Crosby, Stills and Nash? The " better living through chemistry " pulsations of Sly and the Family Stone, the chanting of Country Joe and the Fish, and the wonderfully wacky Wavy Gravy? Woodstock - a place where people ("half a million people strong") gathered for peace, love, and music. An event that represented a generation of youth.
Well, not quite.
Contrary to the prevailing myths about Woodstock, it was not an altruistic event.
Woodstock was all about money.
John Roberts, the Ivy League heir to the Polident fortune, financed it. He and his partners were in it for profit. They never stated otherwise. Max Yasgur, whose farm was the site of the event and whose name was immortalized in song, was anything but a simple dairy farmer. He was an NYU graduate and one of the wealthiest farmers in the area. He also walked away with $75,000 or about $300,000 in current dollars not bad for the three-day rental of six hundred idle acres.
The Who was paid the then-unheard-of sum of $12,000 for their participation. Three groups refused to go on until they received cash in advance. The promoters had to get an advance from a local banker on a Saturday night in order to prevent a riot.
A ticket was approximately eighteen dollars. In an era when the minimum wage was $1.60/hour, a ticket was two days' pay. That does not count lost wages for taking off from work, travel expenses, and of course, the drugs closer to a week's pay. The boys and girls (not ladies and gentlemen) of Woodstock were not all that inclusive. Woodstock was not for the poor.
If there is any significance to Woodstock (and the point is debatable), it is the symbolic irony of it. The Woodstock audience was composed of enlightened and compassionate liberals at least that is what they thought of themselves. These were people who wanted to fed the poor and help the helpless. Yet promoters spent more than $2 million dollars staging Woodstock ($10 million in current dollars.) Ten million dollars, let alone the ticket receipts of that historic concert, could have bought many a breakfast in Appalachia or in the ghettoes its attendants allegedly cared so much about. These people are now part of the government's social welfare complex and self-indulgent leftist academic "culture," preaching "social justice" to their students.
Things quickly went haywire within the concert. "I remember building a fire one morning for breakfast. All we had was hot dogs and spaghetti," a Woodstock alumnus waxed nostalgically in a magazine article. Ironically, when Woodstock's well-to-do audience could not feed themselves (let alone the downtrodden), the hippies called on the very people they spurned to feed them: the National Guard. The Left needed those warmongering, baby killing, murdering monsters of the military establishment to drop food from helicopters to save them. The liberal Democrats, Naderites, and far-Leftists who planned this fiasco were dependent on the generosity of the "Military-Industrial Establishment." This is also the same National Guard that is now derided by liberal Democrats as "Chickenhawks." How ironic that the people who criticize President George W. Bushs National Guard service were probably saved from starvation by his brethren.
The very same people who want to plan every aspect of the economy and society could not even plan a rock concert.
Another myth is that Woodstock, though intended to be a moneymaking venture, became a free concert through the benevolence of the concert's producers. Although it was good PR, this was not true. The promoters had to make it a free concert. The Woodstock generation wants what they want - and they want it free. They wanted to go to the concert so they crashed the gate.
It was the promoters fault. In order to get local approval the promoters purposely furnished low attendance figures. However, they did not realize how effective their marketing would be. Twice as many people came as they expected - ten times the amount they had told the locals.
Good intentions did not make Woodstock a free concert; poor business planning did.
Woodstock exposed the hypocrisy of the Left. A half a million people either spent money that could have been donated to charity and depended on the military to serve them food. The performers also earned substantial sums for their appearances. The only money donated was to Abbie Hoffman's fanatics, and that only because he extorted it by stating he would disrupt the concert.
They did all of this while inveighing against the capitalist system.
Country Joe's lyrical lamentation asked why we were in Vietnam. His answer was found during the Seventies - in the re-education programs of communist Vietnam, in the boat people who fled Vietnam on anything that could float, and in the killing fields of Cambodia.
The "Boys in the Wood" later proclaimed themselves "veterans." In their characteristic hubris, they want to erect a "monument" to Woodstock. What is there to venerate? Woodstock was nothing more than pampered kids acting irresponsibly. These Woodstock veterans are now advocating the election of one of their fellow antiwar activists, John Kerry.
In Washington, D.C., the genuine monument to real veterans of that era bears some 50,000 names on it. The Vietnam Memorial lists the names of real veterans, kids who did their duty. They were the real altruists. Their concerts were in places like Bien Hoa and Ia Drang. They are the finest men their time had to offer and the ones who should define their generation.
How did Woodstock help to feed a hungry child?
John Kerry was at Woodstock over Christmas 1968.
John Kerry was there when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
Ping from one of the 500,000 . More later ...
bump for later
The hallmark of the sixties was not Woodstock, but two later concert/debacles, Altamont and the Isle of Wight festival. Just watch "Gimme Shelter" to see it all unfold (at Altamont, that is). The peace loving hippies were giving the bands crap for charging money while the Hell's Angels beat the holy sh*t out of everyone. Things were so bad that the Grateful Dead refused to go on (there's some footage of hippies giving Jerry Garcia an earful for charging money to play). The Isle of Wight was ugly too, really gnarly hippies kicking down the fence erected around the festival grounds and threatening the promoters. Scary stuff.
Oh my God! Mom and Dad! ;-)
And how many port-a-potties were there?
Kerry brought his Swift Boat up the Hudson River, beached it and walked to get to Woodstock.
Yep. At Woodstock, the only violence was Pete Townshend decking Abbie Hoffman (hooray!) At Altamont, you had the Hell's Angels stabbing a fan to death, as well as beating up Jefferson Airplane's Marty Balin. And who could forget Joni Mitchell, the woman who wrote the "Woodstock" song, pleading with the crowd to behave at the Isle of Wight show?
"Sitar-like harmonies"?
Smooth, complex -- maybe. Sitar-like?
Sheesh. Must be some good dope this author's smokin'...
Made no sense to me either. Droning?
We just suffered thru the last concert by the band Phish in our area this past weekend. They set up a similar venue. Seems to me, no one knows anything about their music, so my conclusion is that the attraction has to be the drugs.
Phish is not about the drugs. They are little known outside their large and very enthusiastic fan base. They are actually a talented "jam" band with a large amount of original material, but which is also given to imaginative covers of other bands' material (e.g., in November of 1999, they covered the entire album Dark Side of the Moon in one concert).
about four weeks after woodstock I heard Crosby Stills et al in Calif. they are not as good live as in studio. On top of that they complained that the audinence was not paying attention- they (the audience were having fun)- and CSNY could not get their message out. The paying customers said the same thing then "shut up and sing."
Nothing will benefit America better than these fvcking losers dying and getting planted in the ground. They've stood for nothing and fallen for everything and the only effect they have is to put the rest of us at peril. On some days, I think about the two hippies I beat the crap out of in Bezerkley. Ahhh, the GOOD ol days!
But all this obscures the real significance of Woodstock: it was when the "counter-culture" became the mainstream culture in this country. By the time I was in high school in 1974, rock music was on TV commercials, and a large fraction of the young smoked the drugs.
We are still working through the cultural fall-out from Woodstock: drug addiction, sexually-transmitted diseases, and broken families.
Probably none since liberal hippies are full of shit and keep it in.
And Americans are still emotionally bleeding from Kerry and his anti-war actions.
And we are to believe that these people had jobs?
And jobs doing what? (Keep in mind that there very few McDonalds in those days)
"...John Kerry was at Woodstock over Christmas 1968..."
No he wasn't. He was orbiting the moon with Borman, Lovell, and Anders on Apollo 8 Christmas, 1968.
Or was he in North Korea, rescuing the Pueblo crew?
Both would be as big a lie as the Cambodia lie he's telling these days.
I was one of the 500,000 ...just turned 17 years old in the summer of 1969 ...my friend Ralph and I hitch-hiked from Andover , CT ( eastern CT near UConn ) all the way to the festival . We went for the music ( mainly The Who ; Jimi Hendrix ; CCR ...) . We made it to New Paltz , NY the first day . With no place to stay , we inquired at a bus station where , fortunately , a young sympathizer was working . He made a phone call to his buddy , and the next thing we knew we were spending the night in a huge house which belonged to a Prof at the local college . The Prof and his family were 80% moved out of the place so they offered it to us , two total strangers , for the night ! We had the whole place to ourselves . The next morning the dude from the bus station showeed up and offered to drive us all the way to the festival ( never made it due to huge traffic jams ) . These folks I am positive were libs , especially the Prof with whom we spoke on the phone . They treated us like long lost friends , and we were very grateful indeed .
Nobody expected 500000 people to show up
at Woodstock , least of all us . We were totally unprepared food-wise ( we brought some nuts and raisins ! ) and it was trek and a half through 1000s of people to the over-crowded food stalls . Well , total strangers sitting near us shared what little food they had with us . Probably voted for Clinton years later .
Hitching back from Woodstock , we were picked up by a Navy recruiter in Danbury , CT or thereabouts and the guy threatened to beat the shit out of us because our hair was too long ( Coincidentally , my long haired buddy Ralph ended up joining the Navy a couple of years later ) . It was a helluva ride let me tell ya . We were hassled by clean cut travelling salesmen and other red neck types during our trip .
Don't be too quick to paint all hippies or their long ago
sympathizers as a--holes ! A--holes exist in all directions - left , center and right . Right ?
" And how many port-a-potties were there? "
Not enough ! I believe only 50000 tickets were sold , but 10 times that many people ended up at the festival !
" about four weeks after woodstock I heard Crosby Stills et al in Calif. they "
I wasn't into CSN at the time . They were very " nervous " at Woodstock , as it was their first gig . They were OK ...nothing great . Their first two albums were excellent , though . Definitely a much stronger in the studio than live .
Well said. I graduated in '69, Woodstock happened five weeks later. Throughout HS there was very minimal (I do mean very) drug use. In the school year that began September '69 (the class of '70) there was an explosion of reefer and ludes. The school went from near zero problem to kids passing out over the course of one summer...the Woodstock Summer.
We lived two hours away at the time. A lot of kids went and wore it like a badge. Even more lied about having gone. We thought they were all a-holes.
A little bit of an overstatement. It was only a 3-day concert. Not many people "starve" if they don't eat for 3 days.
Especially when Neil Young was there to keep them in line.
This is a good article. Thanks for the ping.
The music of that day was fantastic! I still
listen to CSNY, Hendrix, Steppenwolf, et al.
But, the rest of that era was pure garbage.
The folks who generally populated Woodstock
remind me of the ELF/ALF/PETA crowd now.
Disco did, still does, and always will, suck. ;o)
"Do I want my children to relive that? No, but today they can do even worse and it's not being a "freak" or a part of something uncommon.....it is the culture now....and yes that is damning as well."
That is VERY true, wardaddy. And, it IS damning.
You obviously know a lot more about Phish than I do or care to. However, having spoken with several concert-goers, it's still about the drugs and the "no arrest" policy at their weekend-long jam sessions.
Although Max Yasgur was paid $75,000, the damage done to his property was probably far greater. Any know anything about that?
What did one Phish fan say to the other after the drugs wore off?
Man, this band sucks.
What property damage?
I visited the site a few years ago. Our church's camp is just a few miles away, so while there one night a dozen or so of us went to the Woodstock site. There's a memorial there, and it was covered with offerings of hippie paraphanalia. While we were gawking at that, some guy (alone) drove into the field and parked, unaware of us; things turned surreal for him when a bunch of strangers (us) appeared out of the darkness, surrounded his car, and started singing Christmas carols in August.
Anyway... It's still a farm. Aside from a couple buildings and a barn, there is nothing there. As the author mentions, $75000 ($300K in today's bucks) was a very good deal for renting some otherwise unused land. So what if a half-million hippies stomp on it for 3 days - just plow it afterwards and all is back to normal.
What many don't realize is the nearby town of Bethel NY is a resort/vacation town for hardcore Orthodox Jews - musta been a shock to the locals when a half-million ideological opposites suddenly showed up.
Major LOL! My son just looks at me and shakes his head when I recount tales of my former life as a hippie. I still get thumps on my head for having my own copy of Mao's Little Red Book. Thank God I met his dad, a Viet Nam vet, to bring me back to reality.
My husband did have a gold peace symbol on his tooth for a while when he came back to the world. Since I didn't know him then, I give him a pass. He probably had to do it because of the Kerry folks giving him a hard time for being a baby killer. Yeah, the same 'baby killer' who could never bring himself to spank his own kid. (my job)
RIP, Dale.
I'll confess that there is some rap that I think is catchy and clever. But not much. The problem with it is the perpetuation of the inner city hip-hop lifestyle and the culture of illiteracy and abject ignorance that it certainly seems to celebrate.
BUT -- Having gone to Provine High School in Jackson, MS for two years - and having been VERY much a white minority - I have a very intimate knowledge of what many black men like to see in their women. So I think Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" is HILARIOUS. One example.
Actually, CSN were horrible at Woodstock.
I'm glad you liked one of my comments today. :)
"...The hallmark of the sixties was not Woodstock, but..."
Hollywood thinks the 60s began in 1968.
Of course were almost over by then.
They began with Eisenhower in the White House.
The 'hallmark' of the 60's might be the Cuban Missle Crisis or the murder of Kennedy.
Always was about the bucks
Seems to me, no one knows anything about their music
I know about their music.
D*mn. Another myth busted.

When the case of Batu MP being fined Rm2k happened, many thought that it was an UMNO's expedient political decision to not push for the MP's ouster and not to go for by-election at that time. But they forget that after the deadline for holding by-election-as has happened now the party can change its mind and push for the MP's ouster-as could have also happened now! So : should the politicians follow the law-and at least get someone else to replace the Batu MP, or lost 1 MP in Parliament?
Actually we had raised the issue at that time-no matter how unpopular it was. So did Karpal the lawyer.

What is it?RTRE is a Real Time Rendering Engine. The plug-in was developed by cubicspace. The new plug-in is version 2.1 about to be released by Turbo Squid http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/index.cfm/ID/314042 and there will be a Trial available for the new version which has masses of new features around much better performance and support of almost every max material. The plug-in works with 3d Studio Max a 3-dimensional rendering and animation program. It is used to create executable files of a particular building model. The main benefit of an executable file is that it can be distributed easily and run without installing viewer software. This is highly beneficial when working with multiple parties.
Basics Walkthrough
Before you startBe aware that there is a new version, called RTRE v2.0 available now, and that SP1 is expected in January 2009. These new versions support up to 3ds max 2009-32bit. 1.1 of rtre is only compatible with version 7 of 3d studio max. Max 9 does not seem to be capable of exporting to older file formats, so if you plan to visualize a model with rtre, be sure to not accidentally edit it with a new version of 3d studio. Version 2.0 has now been released, but even though it lacks support directly for radiosity lighting, you can render your lighting as a texture (RTT - Render-to-Texture) using Mental Ray which is built-into 3ds max and that way get stunning lighting solutions. Alternatively, if you have no lightign set-up, RTRE will provide a general lightign solution - which is like an envionment map - good enough to see how you unlit scene looks before spending the time of a proper lighting solution.
Step one: Create the modelThis can be done directly in 3d studio, if you know how to use it. You can also use any 3d software with a file format that 3d studio can import, including DWG and DXF. Because 3ds max 7 is somewhat outdated, it can not read the AutoCAD 2007 DWG format. You will need to export it as a 2004 file before importing to 3d studio max. Once it is imported, go to Utilities Panel > rtre Controls, and click Add All. This will add the objects to the rtre view, which can be accessed either by clicking the View button on the same panel, or by right clicking the top left corner of a viewport and selecting Views > Extended > rtre 3D View
While you are working on your model, try to avoid having surfaces partially obscured by other objects. If an object changes from lit to unlit over a very small distance, the lighting will often show it as a partially lit transition, depending on the size of your radiosity meshing (explained in the lighting section). As an example, take two rooms separated by a wall. If a single plane is used for the ceiling, it will be dark where it is on top of the wall, and bright where light falls on it in the rooms. On the boundary between these two there will be several inches of partially lit ceiling. This can be avoided by cutting out the part of the ceiling that is on top of the wall.
If you haven't used 3d studio before, an important thing to be aware of is that surfaces are generally one sided. If you can see a face from one side, it will not be visible from the other. This makes life easier for editing models of rooms, because you can see through the walls from the outside in your perspective viewport. Your model likely has walls represented by boxes with thickness and faces on both sides, but the exterior layer of outside walls is no longer necessary. To delete them, select an object, and go to the Modify Panel. Select Editable Mesh, and click the red square in the Selection rollout. This will let you select individual faces of an object. Drag select or hold control and click each face to select them, then press delete to remove the faces. This is not a necessary face, but it makes the perspective viewport much easier to work with.
Step two: Add materialsMaterials in 3d studio are found in the Materials Library, under the Rendering menu. This can also be accessed by pressing the M key.
Rtre supports only four types of materials: Blend, Lightscape, Multi/Sub Object, and Standard. The settings that rtre uses can be found under the Shader Basic Parameters, Blinn Basic Parameters, and Maps rollouts.
Blinn Basic Parameters
Use the diffuse color to control the color of the material. If it has a texture (diffuse map) rtre will tint the image with this color. If you want the material to be textured with the exact color of the image, set diffuse to gray with a value of 150.
Rtre also supports self illumination and opacity. Specular highlights are not used, but can be recreated using environment reflection maps.
Maps Rollout
Rtre can use maps for Diffuse Color, Reflection, and Opacity (alpha channel only). If a bitmap is used in the Opacity component, the same map must be used for Diffuse Color. Note rtre is not capable of bump mapping. Also, rtre ignores the map checkboxes, so you will need to remove a map from the slot to disable it.
For best performance, maps should have dimensions that are powers of two (i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16...)
Step three: Apply LightingThe best method for applying lighting is to use radiosity, through 3d studio's advanced lighting system. Please see the new documentation and help file for lighting information, andnote you shoudl read up on Render-to-Texture approaches.
To create lights, select the create panel on the right side of the screen and click the picture of a spotlight. You can use either standard or photometric lights. If you are using light distribution webs, they can be attached under Modify Panel > Intensity/Color/Distribution rollout. Set distribution to Web, and pick a web file in the Modify Panel > Web Parameters rollout. If the rollout is not visible, right click and select it from the menu to enable it.
Now you need to subdivide your objects. This divides the surfaces into smaller facets and allows rtre to display much higher quality radiosity. Generally you would do this using the radiosity meshing parameters in advanced lighting settings, but rtre does not appear to respect this setting, so it's necessary to use the subdivide modifier instead. Select all of the objects in your model to be subdivided (Leave out the lights and other non-physical objects. Press H for the Select Objects window if you're having trouble getting the selection correct in the viewport.) Then go to the Modify Panel and pick Subdivide from the dropdown menu. Setting a small size will look more accurate, but will have slower performance, so larger subdivisions may be required for complicated models. Try starting with something between 3 and 6 inches.
Once this is done, it's time to set up radiosity. Radiosity controls are found under Rendering menu > Advanced Lighting > Radiosity. 80% is a good setting for initial quality, but for a final lighting solution, something closer to 95% is a better choice. Higher accuracy will take exponentially longer. If your radiosity comes out splotchy, try again with an increased filtering value.
[new wording in RTREv2.1 docs]
Step four: Finishing touchesNow that the model is in rtre, there are a few more small things to add to the quality of the final product. One of these is collision helpers, which are used to prevent walking though objects. Putting them on walls, floors, and ceilings makes the model feel much more real. They can also be used on less important objects like furniture, but be careful not to have objects with collisions everywhere, or the model may become difficult to navigate.
The procedure for adding collision helpers is fairly simple. First click on the Helpers button on the Create Panel, and select Cubicspace rtre from the dropdown menu. Click on Collision, then click and drag anywhere in the scene to create the helper. It doesn't matter where you put it, but placing collisions near the objects they're attached to makes them easier to keep track of. Select your new helper, and go to the Modify Panel. You should see the parameters rollout with a single button. Click the button, then select the object you're applying the collision to. Repeat this with all of your collision helpers.
Another important helper is the StartPoint. These are person sized objects used to define a point of view, and can be used either as the initial camera view when opening an rtre scene, or as other views accessed by buttons on a custom interface. They can be placed from the same panel as the Collision helper. The setting for what StartPoint rtre begins a scene at is under rtre Controls > Display rollout.
Step 5: PublishingOne of rtre's greatest strengths is the ability to publish a scene into an executable file that can be distributed and viewed without requiring the installation of a viewer program. This is done through the rtre Publisher rollout, in the Utilities Panel.
Scenes can be published with custom skins, or graphical interfaces overlaid on them. The appearance of a skin is defined by four images: Up, down, over, and gray. The up skin shows all buttons with their default appearance. Down shows them as they appear while being clicked. The hover image defines how the look when the cursor is over them. Gray is the appearance of buttons that are disabled.
The location of each button is defined by a "hit map," which is a mostly black image with the area of the button shown in white. When the mouse is over the white area, rtre will replace that portion of the up image with the same part of the over image. When it is clicked, the region is replaced with part of the down image.
All images used in a skin must have the same resolution. rtre supports the following file formats for skin imatges:
Buttons can be attached to many actions, but the most notable are Jump To, Info Screen, and Full Screen. Jump To moves the view to a StartPoint helper or 3d studio camera. Info Screen displays a picture over the rtre scene, and is useful for including instructions for rtre's unusual movement controls.
If you decide not to use any of these actions, there is no need for the down, hover, or gray skin images. An up image may still be desired to add a title, name, or copyright notice.
Movement ControlsThe up and down arrow keys move the camera forward and backward. The left and right keys turn the camera to the left and right, but take some practice because the camera slows down gradually instead of stopping when you release the key. Delete and end are used to sidestep. Page up and page down move the camera vertically.
Holding down the right mouse button and dragging also turns the camera, and is easier to control than the arrow keys. Holding shift increases movement speed, and control decreases it. The three speeds are set in the rtre publisher settings, and may vary between scenes.
New navigation includes Fly and Orbit, accessible from the right-click menu.

- Straight: Hiro battles with Draco. In Canon, this is because Draco is a Knight Templar who does horrible things in pursuit of his goals. In Fanon, it's because Hiro is a jerkass.
- Exaggerated: Draco does horrible things just because he can, while Hiro is an All-Loving Hero. Fan Dumb depicts things the exact opposite way.
- Downplayed: Fan Dumb accepts that Hiro is the good guy, but they still tend to over-exaggerate some of the bad things he does.
- Justified:
- Wanting to create realistic characters, an author gave Hiro some flaws he was supposed to overcome in the process of Character Development. Meanwhile, Draco in his first appearance briefly pretended to be a nice person. Unfortunately, for some fans. the first impression turned out to be too strong.
- Hiro is Unintentionally Unsympathetic.
- Some of the fans seriously question a lot of Hiro's actions in the story, and there is enough side info to imply he isn't all he seems to be.
- Alternate Universe of the What If? variety - certain events may have resulted in Hiro being an outright villain.
- Inverted: Draco in Leather Pants
- Subverted: The fans initially play down Hiro in order to build up Draco, but a Crowning Moment of Awesome on the part of Hiro, coupled with Draco's crossing of the Moral Event Horizon, convinces them that Hiro actually is the hero and Draco an irredeemable villain.
- Double Subverted: Some of the fans still insist that Hiro is just pretending to be a hero in order to ruin things for the misunderstood Draco.
- Parodied: Alice, writing a Fan Fic for Fantasmic, simply copy-pastes a transcript of one episode with Hiro and Draco's names switched. This fanfic In-Name-Only becomes insanely popular.
- Zig Zagged: As the story continues being written, Draco crosses the Moral Event Horizon and the Fan Dumb returns to worshipping Hiro. Then Carmen starts dating Hiro when the fans want her to date Lance instead, so Hiro is demonized again. Carmen eventually breaks up with Hiro to date Lance and Hiro approves, so he's forgiven again.
- Averted: The fans remember that Hiro's the good guy and that Draco is the villain.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "You'll never please these people, Hiro. Draco has them wrapped around his little finger."
- Invoked: The character who narrates the story doesn't like Hiro for whatever reason, and his negative perception of him colors his portrayal when he/she is asked to tell the story.
- Exploited: The character (perhaps Draco himself) knows that Hiro is still a good guy but purposely makes him look bad when telling his story so that he'll lose support from susceptible listeners.
- Defied: "So what if Draco's cool? That doesn't change the fact that he's evil."
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Draco blew up a school full of children just because he was bored and yet they treat Hiro like he's the bad guy?"
- Deconstructed:
- Draco's flaws are ignored while Hiro's are focused upon and made out to be far worse than Draco's monstrous actions. After putting up with this for some time, Hiro gives up and leaves Draco's apologists to their grim fate. Even in their last breaths, they curse Hiro for not saving them rather than berate Draco for his behavior.
- Alice's willingness to fangirl over the handsome but villainous Draco and demonize the virtuous Hiro on their series is reflected with her poor judgement in real life. She stays with her Jerkass boyfriend Drake and decries her friend Bob when he tries to help her out of the bad relationship, pointing out his flaws while ignoring Drake's...
A) ...To the point where Bob has to kill Drake in order to convince Alice otherwise.
B) ...To the point where it takes Drake cheating on Alice in order to convince Alice that he was no good all along.
- Reconstructed:
- While Hiro is sorely tempted to leave Draco's apologists to their fate, his innate decency means that he simply can't do this. After doing so, Draco's apologists quickly convert to Hiro's side and beat Draco to a bloody pulp for all the times he was cruel to them.
- Alice actually distinguishes reality from fiction pretty well. She fangirls over Draco despite his villainous nature and isn't a big fan of Hiro, but she stands up to Drake and dumps him when he turns out to be abusive, and she is good friends with Bob.

SUNlit Adventures Rohan Ranade's Weblog https://blogs.oracle.com/gridbag/feed/entries/atom 2010-02-15T11:48:49+00:00 Apache Roller https://blogs.oracle.com/gridbag/entry/moving_my_blog Moving my blog... gridbag 2010-02-02T17:08:30+00:00 2010-02-03T01:08:30+00:00
Opening a blog was one of the first few things I did, sitting on my temporary cubicle on the 2nd Floor of Sun Microsystems, India Engineering Center, Divyasree Chambers, Bangalore on that morning of September 05, 2005. I wasn't assigned any work, having joined Sun on August 31 2005. It took about a week to get my Sun Badge (those days they used to be printed and shipped from Singapore, I believe). I was thrilled to find out that a Sun employee could have his/her own blog at http://blogs.sun.com. In a moment of dwarfed imagination (something that I have gotten used to), I named this blog - Gridbag. I could tell you a 100 excuses regarding the naming, but honestly, I thought I would use the blog as some kind of a research diary about my learnings of Swing UI Toolkit and hence named the blog after the GridBagLayout.

4.5 years have passed, myself and two others are the only remaining members of my first team of 15 at Sun Microsystems, India, the second floor at Divyasree Chambers was given up by Sun about an year ago (I managed to sneak in there before it was closed and sit on my temporary cubicle for a couple of minutes), the product that I worked for when I joined Sun is gone and Sun itself has now been taken over by Oracle.

These years have taught me a lot and gave me a chance to meet and work with some very bright folks, and above all, a chance to work on some great stuff. I don't know whether I made a difference to Sun, but Sun definitely made a difference to me. There have been frustrations, but something has kept me here for all these four years. Thanks Sun, it has been a privilege.

Though I continue to be an employee of Sun (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle), I will not be blogging here anymore. I am in the process of migrating this blog over to http://gridbag.wordpress.com . Hope to see you there.

Signing off...

 One of the most innovative usage of GTalk to date has been as an ice breaker when me and my wife were sitting, poring into our notebooks, ignoring each other, after a petty quarrel. I wasn't talking to her, and she wasn't talking to me. So, there, I opened up GTalk, sent her a "hi" and we started chatting on GTalk, sitting almost next to each other. And what do you know! A smile appeared on her highness' face in a matter of minutes.

I love technology

When Microsoft Corp. said it planned to begin checking for pirated copies of its Windows operating system using the method it set up to send people security fixes, even some of the company's traditional critics could sympathize.
After all, although Microsoft rakes in billions, piracy of its flagship products remains a huge, costly problem, particularly in developing countries such as China and Russia. The Business Software Alliance estimates that 35 percent of software installed on PCs worldwide is pirated.
Nevertheless, 18 months after announcing the Windows Genuine Advantage piracy check, Microsoft faces controversy and backlash, including two lawsuits. Some say the company clumsily handled several elements of the program, including a key privacy issue.
"They have a right to say, `If you want patches from Microsoft, you know, you should let us make sure you're not running a pirated copy of Windows,"' said Gartner analyst John Pescatore. "That's a valid claim, and with the Windows Genuine Advantage tool, I think, they tried to go a little too far."
Microsoft introduced the piracy check in mid-2005 as a condition for downloading security fixes and other software, such as anti-spyware technology, from its Web site.
Now the anti-piracy check is also being sent to customers whose computers receive security updates automatically. For now, users can take extra steps to opt out of the piracy check. But Microsoft strongly encourages people to run it, calling it a "high priority update," and says the check might become mandatory at some point.
Once installed, the program checks whether it believes the user's version of Windows is legitimate. It gathers information such as the computer's manufacturer, hard drive serial number and Windows product identification.
Microsoft still offers important security fixes even if the company alleges the version of Windows is pirated, although those users can't get non-security downloads, such as a test version of the new Internet Explorer browser. Those users also receive a barrage of notices that they are running an illegal copy of Windows.
While Microsoft had told users the new software would gather information related to piracy, some people became alarmed when they discovered that the software also was performing a daily check-in with the company.
Microsoft said the daily "call home" was a safety measure designed to let the company shut the program down quickly if something went wrong. But critics saw the undisclosed communications as a breach of privacy and trust.
Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the concern is that users did not know about or control the interaction.
"It feels very much like a digital trespass — you know, someone is getting access to your system without your consent," he said.

Before the remodel Before this classic Santa Monica bungalow was updated, its garden had the same vintage vibe, with a lawn and other thirsty plants, all irrigated by sprinklers. Keeping the yard green used an estimated 226,208.91 gallons of water per year!
I'm delighted to introduce Rebecca Sams of Mosaic Gardens as our new guest blogger. We've been big fans of the gardens Rebecca creates with her husband, Buell Steelman, and have featured a number of them in Sunset over the years.

After updating in Android 4.1.2 my screen goes black. Screen works again only when the call is finished. I know about the feature when you put the phone on ear it goes black and the second you remove the phone from your ear , the screen turns on again. But now is different. Now it goes black the same second when I press call and there's nothing that brings it back until the call is over! Please help.
Based from OP's comment, you have to calibrate the proximity sensor:
I had the same problem with my LG Optimus 4X P880: whenever I wanted to make a call, the screen was going to off position; only after finishing the call it turned back on.
I think it is nothing but a software problem in Android version 4.1.2. So I rolled back from 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to 4.0.3 Icecream Sandwich. Now my phone is working properly.

BBC Review
Austria's most illustrious jazz export
Jon Lusk 2008
Austria's most illustrious jazz export recorded most of this double live CD on his 75th birthday in Lugano, Switzerland, just over two months before his death from cancer on 11th September, 2007. Seated behind his trademark bank of synths, with his trusty vocoder close to hand, he's joined by the veritable United Nations of world groove that then made up The Zawinul Syndicate, the world/jazz fusion outfit that evolved around him after he left the seminal group Weather Report in 1985. Their rather muscular set revisits his career in both bands, with a few surprises thrown in.
After a wailing intro, things get into gear on an impressively propulsive Orient Express, which sets the generally upbeat mood. The oddly titled Madagascar doesn't attempt to evoke the music of that country, although it does have some engaging changes. For a more convincingly African ambience, Ivory Coast-born percussionist Paco Sery eschews his (occasionally heavy-handed) drumming in favour of a kalimba (thumb piano) on Zansa 11, conversing with and being echoed by Zawinul. Even if Zawinul's chosen synth timbres aren't always appealing, he's a noticeably democratic bandleader, preferring to spar with colleagues rather than grandstanding over them, and often just vamping, ruminating or dropping in atmospheric keyboard stabs while others take the limelight, as does funksome bassist Linley Marthe on Scarlet Woman.
To be frank, I'm not mad about his taste in voices, either – especially Moroccan Aziz Sahmaoui and Zap Mama's Sabine Kabongo – although Alegre Correa is an agreeable enough presence on his own samba Clario. There's a predictably mawkish Happy Birthday, which happily turns into a frenzied percussive breakdown. And there's a beautifully serene 14-minute duo version of In A Silent Way between Zawinul and his long-term associate Wayne Shorter on soprano sax – recorded the following month in Hungary.
It's a shame there aren't a few more reflective moments like it, which means that 75th isn't the best place to approach Zawinul's music from. This is a brave 'rage against the dying of the light', and novices are advised to first check last year's excellent Weather Report compilation Forecast: Tomorrow.

I am working on this custom theme: http://mersonauto.com/wp/
(pardon the remaining tweaks and final text still needed, I'm just finishing up)
This is an adaptation of _s, and I used the menu provided. I've assigned 'Home' to be the static home page, and I'm using front-page.php as its template. For some reason, 'blog' is activated as the current-menu-item in the footer menu, but 'home' is activated as the current-menu-item in the top navigation menu.
Has anybody experienced this, or have any ideas?
(p.s. using 3.5.2 and plugin deactivation doesn't affect it at all. Also, curious: this assumes the forum supports underscores. Yes?)

It looks like Garmin changed their login page today and authentication is now failing for me. Looks like they've got it wrapped up in javascript and urllib doesn't like it.
Last edit: greypen 2014-02-19
It looks like Garmin changed their login page today and authentication is now failing for me. Looks like they've got it wrapped up in javascript and urllib doesn't like it.
Looks like hey've switched to a different authentication service. Looking at it, but I don't have any clues at the moment.
Welcome any input.
I'm still pretty new with Python and this one looks to be out of my league. I'm not sure if urllib is going to cut it, may need to use something more browser-like to get the proper response from the URL. Maybe Selenium/Webdriver with PhantomJS - I can't find anything simple.
Other suggestions say to use the Chrome developer tools to see what exactly is being sent by the browser. I'll keep poking around and let you know if I get anywhere.
I'm well beyond my expertise. Looks like there are a ton of changes coming to Garmin Connect. They may discontinue all of their old APIs.
Hey Dave,
Thanks for this awesome app. I use another app to cross upload my Garmin data to other applications. His approach to the new authentication Garmin is doing is outlined in his Git repo. Particularly this commit ( https://github.com/cpfair/tapiriik/commit/1604a1c791def072a48f3165dd61d5136f3610ce ). Hopefully this helps!
Excellent! Thanks for the tip, Brandon.
Okay, I've got something working based on Brandon's tip (thanks again, Brandon). I've been able to successfully upload a few files.
I need to do a little more work and do some more testing. I also need to figure out how to properly attribute the code since I borrowed heavily from the tapiriik code.
Sounds promising!
Tried looking, but didn't find: do you have an unstable git repo or some such?
New package uploaded to pypi.
If you installed using pip the following will upgrade your package:
sudo pip install GcpUploader --upgrade
...or you can download and install the tar file from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GcpUploader
I'm in the process of checking things into the SourceForge repo if you got it from there.
This was a major overhaul of my UploadGarmin.py module. It is not heavily tested. Let me know if you see problems.
The new 20140301 file upload to SourceForge seems to be in a perpetual 'Pending' state. Use the pypi link above to grab the tar.gz file if you need it until SF gets things worked out.

Ministers and other officials from Japan and the 16-member Pacific Islands Forum gathered in Tokyo on Saturday to discuss maritime order, resource management and new ways to cooperate in trade and investment, while taking stock of progress on pledges made at a summit last year.
Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and Foreign Minister Phillip Muller of the Marshall Islands co-chaired the one-day meeting as a follow-up to the Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting held in Okinawa Prefecture in May 2012.
The participants are expected to discuss ways to develop natural resources and preserve maritime order as Pacific island nations are often rich in fisheries and other natural resources, including natural gas and nickel, and provide important shipping routes for such resources.
Japan, which faces a growing Chinese maritime presence and China's challenge to its sovereignty over a group of islands in the East China Sea, hopes to underscore the importance of freedom of navigation and of observing international law, a Japanese official said.
Kishida is also expected to report to other participants on progress made by Japan in fulfilling its commitment made at last year's summit to make "maximum efforts" to provide up to $500 million in aid over three years.
The minister also plans to announce progress made in Tokyo's commitment to issue a new type of multiple-entry visa to short-term visitors from Pacific island nations and exempt those with diplomatic or official-use passports from visa requirements.
The ministers and other officials are also expected to discuss tackling climate change, including rising sea levels, which threaten the survival of low-lying islands in the Pacific.
Japan is meanwhile expected to announce where the next Japan- Pacific Islands Forum summit will be held in 2015. Tokyo may pick Fukushima Prefecture in the country's northeast for the venue of the triennial summit, a senior Japanese official said earlier.
On Sunday, participants from the island nations are scheduled to visit Matsushima, a picturesque island near Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture that suffered damage from the massive tsunami in March 2011, to see recovery efforts firsthand.
The Pacific Islands Forum groups Australia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Japan has hosted the summits six times since 1997.

WASHINGTON - Just days before starting its new term on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court took on two cases of major importance for states, dealing with how the death penalty is carried out in many states and whether voters should be required to show photo identification at the polls.
But those two high-profile cases aren't the only ones on the court's schedule this term that states will be following closely. Other cases will affect states' ability to regulate delivery of "dangerous" products such as tobacco, states' tax policies and, of course, their criminal courts.
The groups challenging Indiana's voter ID law urged the justices to review the case, so that states will know whether laws similar to Indiana's are valid before the 2008 presidential election.
In general, fights over the voter ID laws have broken down along party lines. Republicans have promoted ID requirements as a way to prevent voter fraud. Democrats say the laws discourage the poor and elderly from voting, and they say there's little evidence of voter fraud that the rules would prevent.
Indiana and four other states (Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and South Dakota) require voters to show photo identification at the polls. Indiana's law further defines the documentation as a government-issued photo identification that carries the voter's address and signature. Those without proper identification in Indiana can cast provisional ballots that are counted only if the voter provides proof of identity within 48 hours.
Nineteen other states accept other forms of identification that could include utility bills or pay stubs.
Indiana's voter ID law is considered to be the toughest, but so far it has survived legal challenges from Democrats, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law on a 2-1 vote in January, setting up the current appeals. Crawford v. Marion City Election Board and Indiana Democratic Party v. Rokita.
Similar efforts in Georgia and Missouri weren't as successful. The two states passed laws last year to require government-issued photo IDs at the polls, but courts struck them down. The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the state's new voter ID requirements "impermissibly infringe on core voting rights guaranteed by the Missouri Constitution." Georgia's law, which required residents without a state photo ID to purchase a $20 digital identification card to vote, was struck down in federal court. The judge likened the law to an illegal Jim Crow-era poll tax.
The court's agreement last week to hear arguments in a Kentucky lethal injection case already is having an effect and could be leading to a nationwide suspension of executions by lethal injection until the justices rule sometime next year.
Already, last-minute reprieves were granted to death-row inmates in Texas and Alabama who were scheduled die last week. Both inmates argued their appeals raise the same claims as in the Kentucky case, which argues that the lethal drugs used in 36 states' death chambers expose inmates to pain and suffering in violation of the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. In Delaware, a federal judge last week postponed a trial challenging lethal injection methods, extending a moratorium on executions there until the high court rules, likely by July 2008.
The U.S. Supreme Court has sent mixed signals on whether it will agree to a blanket moratorium on lethal injections pending its ruling. It refused to stop the execution of Michael Richard in Texas last week, within hours of agreeing to take up the Kentucky lethal injection appeal. But it reversed course without explanation and issued a late-night reprieve for condemned inmate Carlton Tucker in Texas on Thursday.
Alabama Gov. Bob Riley delayed the execution of murderer Thomas Arthur for 45 days while the state overhauls its lethal injection procedures.
Lawyers handling death penalty cases around the country are rushing to file to stay executions until the court decides the appeal. Meanwhile, Kentucky has promised to add more medical equipment to execution sites. But Kentucky is one of 11 states where executions by lethal injection already are on hold because of challenges to lethal injection procedures or to the absence of doctors at executions. The others are Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee.
The Kentucky case, Baze v. Rees, doesn't seek to throw out lethal injection as a form of capital punishment but wants changes in how it's administered and new standards for courts to use to determine whether the punishment is constitutional.
The first case the justices will hear on Monday involves a unique primary system approved by voters in Washington state in 2004 but put on hold by court challenges ever since.
Under the system, the top two vote-getters in state primaries would advance to the general election, regardless of their political affiliation. Supporters say the system would let voters - not political parties - control the outcome of elections.
But Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians who successfully have challenged the law convinced lower courts that the system violates their First Amendment right of free association. Washington State Grange v. Washington State Republican Party and Washington v. Washington State Republican Party.
