High Quality AA and AF
Our high quality tests let us separate the men from the boys and the ladies from the girls. If the cards weren't struggling before they will start to now.
HD 6970 - We can see a couple of extra FPS here; the best gains come under Far Cry 2 which doesn't surprise us as it saw some great gains in our non AA tests.
HD 6870 - Turning on AA and AF, we can see across the board we've got a couple of FPS here and there. It's good to see the positive FPS trend is seen when we really crank up the detail.
HD 5870 - Apart from a bit of positive movement in Far Cry 2, we don't see too much change with the latest driver.

I don't want an empty email field in my form to trigger a Doctrine_Validator_Exception. But, since Doctrine_Validator_Email uses "is_null()" to check for empty (non-existing) values (and the POST ['email'] contains an empty string), it does.
Is this correct? Is there a simple way around this?
This also has an impact when trying to set a column as unique (trying to store a second empty string in the column triggers the validator).
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance, Erland Wiencke

this is all
real, realer than I'd
like; my friends are ghosts
passing through the skeleton of me.
I am afraid of their words,
trailing from their lips
like wisps of smoke;
I have secondhand self-esteem
issues. and you,
you are more handsome now
than you ever were before
I was blinded by the
light. you hurt
like I do and in a world
of painkillers and
existential numbness that
is the fucking world, you hurt
like I do and you try
to shake it from your skin
like a shiver. you look at me
like I'm a natural disaster
and I guess I'm shivering, too, but
not for the same reason.
I don't know how to live
without wanting to die; you were
supposed to be the adventure
guiding me
through unfamiliar territory
but you left
and I
like I should.
I understand what it is
now to need someone. every
irregular heartbeat is a mini.eclipse
and I need that spark
so badly; I need you
to light me from
the inside like a lantern
this fear of the dark
was taught.
you make me relive
the days when I was so alive
they had to pull me
from the clouds with an anchor;
life was my song
no one
ever knew the right
words, please don't
bring that back to
stories from wonderland by intricately-ordinaryWatch
©2014-2016 intricately-ordinary
let me die with this,
that frown on your lips
salt in your wounds--
i don't like you
the story repeats.
let's be real.
that frown on your lips
salt in your wounds--
i don't like you

you are just too gorgeous
beyond your physical years
great as your gargantuan soul
god intended you to be beautiful
and make you out of cat-to-butterfly curiosity
to keep us enraptured

all my love,
That last paragraph has got to be the best thing I read this entire day ; u ;
(That's how strong it is)
If I read too much if your stuff in one sitting I'm afraid I'd OD!
Oh gosh, I know this feeling. Maybe not exactly, but it's so relatable. Wonderfully written! This is so tragically beautiful!!
"I have secondhand self-esteem issues." I'll admit I read this bit over quite a few times just to enjoy the little shiver it gave me. <3 Beautiful as always!
I don't think you could ever be anything not real.
To the clouds, with you. And don't fear losing that feeling so much that you avoid it. You are an author, through and through; write your own story.
and I'll be here to read it, amongst (deservedly) an ever increasing number of others.
and I'll be here to read it, amongst (deservedly) an ever increasing number of others.
your comments always light up my day <3
You had me at "wonderland."
This is amazing, hon.
There's so much feeling in this, its very strong and powerful.
you should be a song writer, or that your poems would be pretty cool if someone were to sing them, but not with a sad tone.....um they only way i feel that i can explain it is if i give you an example - www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EAIPF… . also i wish i was as good at (or creative) at name/titling things as you are "stories from wonderland" *thumbs up*
thank you so much! i'd love to be a song writer
songs and poems , story aren't that much different if you take away the music form the lyrics then your left with words that make a poem or story. Its why I like music so much, but I only have the talent to listen....
I'm a little bit crying from this, especially from the third stanza on, and I don't know why I keep trying to comment on your work but somehow I feel like I have to tell you how much I love your words.
you and i are birds of a feather
I am left speechless.
The description mostly.
The description mostly.
mhmm. Quite well written and honest. The title is especially strong after reading the whole poem. The ending has quite a sad feel to it as well and the over all work flows quite well.
Arg. My soul hurts
okay on the real I'm not sure if I dig the formatting in ".mi.ni..ec.lipse."

Naked Cowboy Wins First Battle in War With M&M

Time was, a man could play a guitar in Times Square in a cowboy hat and tightie whities and be assured that he was the only one doing it. That's what Robert Burck, who has made a living over the past eight or so years as the Naked Cowboy, thought, anyway. "I am the epitome of the American dream," he once said. "I'm Captain America, but better." But recently, his dream has been threatened: by an M&M. Mars, the company that owns M&Ms, recently erected a billboard in Times Square on which a blue M&M in underwear and a cowboy hat strums the guitar, much like Burck. "My initial response was like, 'Wow that's cool,'" Burck told the Post the other day. But then he thought twice: He had spent years becoming the Naked Cowboy, honing his act, perfecting it. And now a piece of chocolate waltzes in and assumes his identity? Burck was not having it. This past Monday, he filed a $6 million suit against Mars for trademark infringement and other claims. The threat of the lawsuit seems to have worked; the Post today reports that Mars has taken down the billboard with the offending caricature. But this is not just a victory for the Naked Cowboy, it's a victory for us all. "I represent the little guy," he said. Candy Man Can't [NYP] M&M Melts [NYP]

Summary form only given: Distributed energy resources (DE) or distributed generators (DG) with power electronics interfaces and logic control using local measurements are capable of providing reactive power related ancillary system services. In particular, local voltage regulation has drawn much attention in regards to power system reliability and voltage stability, especially from past major cascading outages. This paper addresses the challenges of controlling DEs to regulate local voltage in distribution systems. An adaptive voltage control method has been proposed to dynamically modify control parameters to respond to system changes. Theoretical analysis shows that there exists a corresponding formulation of the dynamic control parameters; hence the adaptive control method is theoretically solid. Both simulation and field experiment test results at the Distributed Energy Communications and Controls (DECC) Laboratory confirm that this method is capable of satisfying the fast response requirement for operational use without causing oscillation, inefficiency, or system equipment interference. Since this method has a high tolerance to real-time data shortage and is widely adaptive to variable power system operational situations, it is quite suitable for broad utility application.

The former U.S. senator from Vermont who in 2001 tipped control of the Senate when he quit the Republican Party to become an independent has died. James Jeffords was 80.
Diane Derby, a former aide, says Jeffords died Monday in Washington. She said he had been in declining health.
Jeffords had announced in 2005 that he would not seek a fourth term, citing his and his wife's health problems. His wife, Liz, died in 2007.
Jeffords served more than 30 years in Washington. He won election to the House in 1974 as a Republican.
He was the only Republican in the House to vote against President Ronald Reagan's tax cuts in 1981. A decade late, upset with President George W. Bush's opposition to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Jeffords decided that was the last straw. In May of 2001, he declared he would leave the Republicans and caucus with the Democrats.

We were bought the hammering toy set for our second child when she was a baby. We already had loads of toys from our first child (both toys) and I was a bit surprised by this one thinking it was more for a boy.
Not just for boys...
Both kids loved it! Even though one was not a baby any more there were plenty of fights over the hammer and the shapes required a bit of set up for the baby to start bashing.
The bench has holes in it that fit the various shapes and a bit of hammering (don't worry, it's only plastic) sends the shape through the hole.
I have looked up this toy and was surprised how cheap it was on Amazon £3.60. I think this is great value for money and a good idea for boys and girls if you're struggling for a baby toy.
I like the bright colours on this toy. It's something they can use in one place so if they are not yet mobile, it's not a problem. It's also good for hand and eye coordination fitting the shapes in to the holes and also hitting them through.
Bash it!
You can't really go wrong with this toy, it's a bit destructive and all kids like being allowed to hit something and make a bit of noise.
Then pass it on...
It's not a toy I feel all that fond about, it is only plastic really and not something I will mind passing on at all!
A few months ago I was passing through my local Store 21 as a short cut when I thought I would have a quick look at the children's toys as they do have some good bits from time to time. On this particular occasion I spotted the Funtime Hammering bench, it was very reasonably priced and I thought it would be something Jayden would enjoy and also it would help with the development of various skills.
The Funtime Hammering Bench is basically a yellow plastic bench with 8 brightly coloured pegs inserted into the bench, the pegs come in different shapes including a circle, an oval, a square, a triangle, a cross, a hexagon, a pentagon and a semi circle. The pegs can be push right through the bench so that they come out the other side meaning you can have the bench itself either way up.
The Funtime Hammering Bench comes with a blue plastic hammer so that your child can tap on the top of the pegs and hammer them through the bench, you can then simply turn the bench upside down and start again. If your child removes the pegs from the bench they can then have fun matching up the pegs to the correct shaped holes so it is a hammering bench and a shape sorter in one.
All parts of this toy are made from a strong and durable plastic which is ideal as it means nothing can get broken if your child gets a bit enthusiastic with the hammer. The hammer bench is of a good size measuring 8cm x 42cm x 12cm, this makes it a good size for little hands to hold and manage, yet it is not too large and bulky so that storage is made difficult. This toy is aimed at children aged 12 months and above.
This toy will also help your child to develop various skills including hand eye co-ordination, colour recognition as well as shape recognition and memory skills. Whilst your child will have fun playing with the Funtime Hammering Bench they are also going to be learning.
As I have mentioned I purchased Jayden's Funtime Hammer Bench from our local Store 21, however it is also available online from Amazon and is sold for just over £5.00, from what can remember I purchased our bench for a little bit less than this, but this is a pretty average price for this item.
Jayden has had his Funtime Hammer Bench for quite a while now and he really enjoys playing with it he uses it both as a hammer bench by knocking the pegs through the bench with the hammer and he also will take the pegs right out and then try to match them back up with the holes they came from, although he does need a bit of help with this.
The bench is tough and durable and is proving to be hardwearing, Jayden does get a bit over enthusiastic when hammering the pegs through however the whole thing still looks as good as new and has not become damaged at all.
I would say that this is fairly priced and is definitely worth the money due to the quality and also the fact that Jayden really enjoys playing with it.
If I had one disadvantage to point out with this toy it is that some of the pegs can be a bit stiff to pull out and push back into the bench, this is a little difficult for young children, however these do loosen up a bit over time and is not something that would put me or Jayden off of this. I would definitely recommend this toy.

Looks like Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn't the only one who's been channeling abortion champion/eugenicist Margaret Sanger.
Internet sleuth Zombie has a new report on John Holdren, President Obama's science czar:
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.
The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives — using an armed international police force.
Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.
Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it is no hoax, no exaggeration. John Holdren really did say those things, and this report contains the proof. Below you will find photographs, scans, and transcriptions of pages in the book Ecoscience, co-authored in 1977 by John Holdren and his close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich. The scans and photos are provided to supply conclusive evidence that the words attributed to Holdren are unaltered and accurately transcribed.
Zombie's got all the goods. Read it for yourself. [http://zombietime.com/john_holdren/]

I am starting the query but I don't know how to continue...
ALTER TABLE DatosLegales DROP PRIMARY KEY;

//and finally when I specify that IdDatoLegal is the new primary key
I hope you can help me.

JavaScript keeps surprising me and this is another instance. I just came across some code which I did not understood at first. So I debugged it and came to this finding:
alert('a'['toUpperCase']()); //alerts 'A'
Now this must be obvious if
toUpperCase() is defined as a member of string type, but it did not make sense to me initially.
- does this work because
toUpperCaseis a member of 'a'? Or there is something else going on behind the scenes?
the code I was reading has a function as follows:
function callMethod(method) { return function (obj) { return obj[method](); //**how can I be sure method will always be a member of obj** } } var caps2 = map(['a', 'b', 'c'], callMethod('toUpperCase')); // ['A','B','C'] // ignoring details of map() function which essentially calls methods on every // element of the array and forms another array of result and returns it
It is kinda generic function to call ANY methods on ANY object. But does that mean the specified method will already be an implicit member of the specified object?
I am sure that I am missing some serious understanding of basic concept of JavaScript functions. Please help me to understand this.

While I was thinking on what to blog next, I received an email from someone by the name of John. In his email, he sent me a link to a Youtube video clip which happens to be an audio-only video clip. He stated there "malaysian indian gals singing dirty". The last two words did not attracted me that much compared to the first three words. Dear ladies, I have no ire on you girls, please don't get me wrong, but at the same time, I just love to pin-point those corrupted ones.
As for this audio, I could barely recall listening to this 'song' some time ago, the same Indian girl(s) singing dirty but the only thing that I could not recall is the 'song' that she/they sang. Anyway, this girl definitely has the singing talent as well as the voice but she seriously needs someone to remind her that she's misusing her talent in the improper way.
While we could see our people fighting for our own rights, these kind of teenagers are still prevalent in our society. Sigh…
To all of you, listen to it but make sure no one is behind you. Or to be on the safer side, you might wanna consider using your "headphone" or "earphone".

Hi ShadowsDweller, I have a couple of suggestions or feature requests for this plugin, for your consideration:
1) It would be nice to have the option to limit this plugin to only administrators (or only users above a certain role), in the event that I don't want certain other users from being able to rename media.
2) The description at http://wordpress.org/plugins/media-rename/ explains that since version 3.1, "the plugin will not only loop through your posts' content, but also all your metas and options". This sounds risky (???) - and if it is risky, maybe it would be useful to have a setting for the plugin, to turn off the "metas and options" replacement and only do a replacement in posts/pages content? I guess only replacing the file name in pages/posts is a lot safer and maybe there isn't any need to also search through the metas and options in some cases?
(To be honest I'm not even entirely sure what it means to search through "metas and options" - maybe you can give more info on that)
3) Could you envision giving your plugin the ability to move the selected media file into a subfolder, as an option? So the user can select or type in a subfolder name which is inside the main media folder (or maybe select a pre-configured subfolder), and the media file is moved there, and/or renamed if necessary. This would be a great feature to have!
I guess for these ideas you would need an actual Settings page for the plugin to configure it.
What do you think?

A systematic and comparative study on the frequency and spectrum of chlorophyll mutations induced by ethylmethane sulphonate (EMS) — an alkylating agent, hydrazine hydrate (HZ) — a base analogue and sodium azide (SA) — a respiratory inhibitor, was carried out in two mungbean varieties, namely, PDM-11 and NM-1. Awide spectrum of chlorophyll mutants was obtained in the M2 generation. All these chlorophyll-deficient mutants were lethal except maculata, viridis and virescent. Chlorina followed by xantha types were predominant in both the varieties. EMS treatments induced the highest frequency of chlorophyll mutations followed by HZ and SA. The frequency of chlorophyll mutations was dose-dependent and increased with the mutagen concentration. Based on effectiveness in both varieties, the order of mutagens was HZ > SA > EMS. Two criteria viz., pollen sterility (Mp/S) and seedling injury (Mp/I) were taken into consideration to determine the efficiency of the mutagens. EMS was found to be the most efficient mutagen followed by HZ and SA. Moderate concentrations of the mutagens were the most effective and efficient in inducing mutations.

Aggregate crime rates continue to decline in the United States despite the depth and breadth of the current foreclosure crisis. This trend calls into question conventional wisdom and prior research that suggest a causal, positive relationship between foreclosures and crime. The objective of this article is to consider an alternative argument, that foreclosures and crime are part-and-parcel of the same community-level dynamics, and thus are not causally related.
We use random effects models to analyze community crime and foreclosure data from Chicago between 2004 and 2009.
Findings reveal that crime and foreclosures are spuriously related; controlling for confounding factors such as concentrated disadvantage and the political hierarchy of communities renders the foreclosure-crime association nonsignificant.
Foreclosures and crime are each explained by antecedent community characteristics. To understand why social problems are unevenly distributed across geographic space, it is necessary to investigate why power and political influence are unevenly distributed.

storage snapshot
A storage snapshot is a set of reference markers, or pointers, to data stored on a disk drive, on a tape, or in a storage area network (SAN). A snapshot is something like a detailed table of contents, but it is treated by the computer as a complete data backup. Snapshots streamline access to stored data and can speed up the process of data recovery. There are two main types of storage snapshot, called the copy-on-write (or low-capacity) snapshot and the split-mirror snapshot. Utilities are available that can automatically generate either type.
5 Data Storage Technologies to Watch in 2016
For the past 13 years, the experts at SearchStorage.com have honored the best and brightest technologies for the upcoming year. As always, we're proud to present a batch of technologies we believe will make a big impact on the data storage market.

A copy-on-write snapshot utility creates a snapshot of changes to stored data every time new data is entered or existing data is updated. This allows rapid recovery of data in case of a disk write error, corrupted file, or program malfunction. However, all previous snapshots must be available if complete archiving or recovery of all the data on a network or storage medium is needed.
A split-mirror snapshot utility references all the data on a set of mirrored drives. Every time the utility is run, a snapshot is created of the entire volume, not only of the new or updated data. This makes it possible to access data offline, and simplifies the process of recovering, duplicating, or archiving all the data on a drive. However, this is a slower process, and it requires more storage space for each snapshot.

The hidden secrets of scientology revealed!
I found it on Wikileaks. It's a 17MB PDF with a very detailed description of Scientology's secrets and OT levels.
Scientologists are very protective about its secrets. If they really are a religion, what do they have to hide? Why isn't their knowledge available to the world? If these documents were false, what does Scientology have to complain about? If, on the other hand, they file a complaint saying that "unlawful to
reproduce or distribute someone else's copyrighted work without that
person's authorization" they are implicitly admitting these documents are accurate.
Don't miss the audio interview, it's hilarious.
- Analysis
- Scientology threatens Wikileaks with injunction, Scientology threatens Wikileaks over secret cult bibles, Church of Scientology's 'Operating Thetan' documents leaked online
The collected secret "bibles" of Scientology, a global cult founded by science fiction author and con-man L. Ron Hubbard and popularized by the membership of Hollywood celebrities such as Tom Cruise. Most of the document has, ironically, been verified by a Scientology (Religious Technology Center) legal demand to Wikileaks to remove the material (see 'Note' below). A portion of the material is in Hubbard's distinctive handwriting. An analysis of the PDF metadata dates the document collection to 1995. The documents appear to have been smuggled out by a break-away Scientology group collectively known as the "Freezone". In Scientology terminology the materials represent "OT" ("Operating Thetan") levels I to VIII and "NOTs". Some of the materials have previously appeared, most notably in the so-called "Fishman affidavit", although the cult has been very aggressive in preventing public dissemination. Others, for example, the highest level, "OT VIII" appear to be original to this collection.
A former Scientologist contacted by Wikileaks and well known to have studied OT8, states that material marked "OT8 (old)" formed part of his studies but that he does not have a recollection of "OT8 (new)" (which the text describes as having been put together based on the recall the "Freezone" scientologists).

Wikileaks release date
Primary language
Wikileaks has received the following legal demand from Scientology in relation to the material:
To: [email protected] Subject: Unauthorized Use of Copyrighted Materials From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:40:22 +0000 (GMT) Dear Legal: Our office represents Religious Technology Center ("RTC"), the owner of the confidential Advanced Technology of the Scientology religion and the holder of exclusive rights under the copyrights applicable to the Advanced Technology materials. The Advanced Technology materials are unpublished, copyrighted works. RTC's works include, among others, the individual works comprising levels known as "NOTs," "OT II," and "OT III." These works are registered with the United States Copyright Office under registration numbers TXu 257 326 and 257 527, TXu 303 388, and TXu 290 496. Someone has placed RTC's Advanced Technology works on Wikileaks.org's website without the authorization of our client. These infringements can be found under the following URLs: http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology_collected_Operating_Thet... http://wikileaks.org/leak/scientology-ot-levels.pdf Please be advised that your customer's action in this regard violates United States copyright law. Accordingly, we ask for your help in removing these works immediately from your service. Under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 106, it is unlawful to reproduce or distribute someone else's copyrighted work without that person's authorization. See, BMG Music v. Gonzalez, 430 F.3d 888 (7th Cir. 2005) (acknowledging that posting copyright materials on the Internet constitutes copyright infringement citing In re Aimster Copyright Litigation, 334 F.3d 643, 645 (7th Cir. 2003). Indeed, courts have entered numerous permanent injunctions and awarded statutory damages and attorneys' fees regarding infringement of these and similar works. For instance, a jury in the United States District Court in San Jose, California awarded RTC $75,000 in statutory damages, and statutory attorney's fees and a permanent injunction were imposed against a Mr. Henson for posting one of the NOTs works on the Internet. A Virginia United States District Court granted RTC judgment for damages, costs, and a permanent injunction related to similar wholesale copyright infringement, in addition to permanent injunctions that were entered in another three copyright cases related to similar infringements in the United States. Likewise, a Swedish court enjoined a defendant who engaged in infringements of these same Advanced Technology works, in addition to finding that his actions in placing those works on the Internet violated our client's rights under Swedish copyright law. RTC v. Panoussis, Judgment of the Stockholm District, Division 7, case T-7-886-96. He was also fined for his illegal actions and ordered to pay litigation costs. The decision by Stockholm District Court was upheld on appeal. We also ask that you preserve any and all documents pertaining to this matter and this customer, including, but not limited to, logs, data entry sheets, applications -- electronic or otherwise, registrations forms, billings statements or invoices, computer print-outs, disks, hard drives, etc. I have a good faith belief, and in fact know for certain, that posting copies of these works through your system was not authorized by my client, any agent of my client, or the law. I declare under penalty of perjury that this information is accurate and that I am authorized to act on behalf of RTC in this matter. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

Just in case Scientology tries to sue me: by copying/pasting the description of the files from Wikileaks I am neither distributing nor reproducing the documents, since they are not physically on my website, so please GFU. ^^

Moustafa Farroukh
Moustafa Farroukh (in Arabic مصطفى فروخ) (born 1901 - died 1957) was one of Lebanon's most prominent painters of the 20th century. During his famed career, Farroukh produced over 2000 paintings most of which were acquired by collectors both in Lebanon and abroad. He also wrote five books including a biography.
He was formally trained in Rome and graduated in 1927 from Rome's Royal College of Fine Arts. He proceeded to Paris and continued further studies under the guidance of Paul Émile Chabas, the president of the Society of French Artists and many other French artists.
Over his prosperous career, he exhibited in venues from Paris, Venice, New York and Beirut. In his Studio in Beirut, he established a permanent exhibition of his artwork in 1932.
His work was applauded for its representation of real life in Lebanon in pictures of the country, its people and its customs. He travelled through Spain in the early 1930s where his appreciation of Arabic art and architecture had a long-lasting effect on his artistic touch. He produced several paintings representing the Arab legacy in Spain.
Farroukh became highly regarded as a Lebanese national painter at a time when Lebanon was asserting its political independence. His art captured the spirit and character of the Lebanese people and he became recognized as the outstanding Lebanese painter of his generation. Most of his paintings were portraits, landmarks, or scenery from his homeland Lebanon. In 1950, as a tribute to his work, Farroukh's name was chosen for listing in Benezit, the world's renowned collection for bibliographical art reference.
Farroukh also wrote five books and taught art at the American University of Beirut and lectured in various academies. He joined the group of philosophers, thinkers, and men and women of literature who lectured in the renowned "Al Nadwa" gatherings or "Le Cénacle Libanais".
In 1954, he was awarded the "Order of Merit", and the "Order of the Cedar" by the Lebanese government.
In 1974, he was portrayed on a Lebanese airmail postage stamp in recognition of his work.

Two names in the ring for next Windsor County state's attorneyBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | February 12,2013HARTLAND — Gov. Peter Shumlin will take a hard look on who to select as the next Windsor County state's attorney. That's because the Windsor County Democratic Committee endorsed both candidates for the job.
The Windsor County Democratic Committee passed a resolution on Monday advising the governor that David Cahill of Norwich and Michael Kainen of Hartford, are qualified for the job. Cahill and Kainen are seeking to replace outgoing State's Attorney Robert Sand who was recently appointed by the governor to develop a new DUI court system.
The Windsor Democratic Committee acts in an advisory capacity and can only make suggestions to the governor. Windsor County Democratic Committee Chairman William Kuch was surprised by the delegates' decision at the special meeting.
"There weren't any 'nays.' I expected people wanted to make a choice and vote for one or the other," Kuch said.
Cahill is a Windsor County Deputy state's attorney who graduated from Dartmouth College with a major in history and German. He received his law degree from the University of Minnesota and has filed thousands of charges in a variety of criminal, civil and investigative matters in Windsor County.
Kainen is an Orange County Deputy state's attorney and a former Republican state representative. He is the former executive director of the State Sentencing Commission and has worked with the Windsor County State's Attorney's
Office for 20 years on a variety of cases.
It is unknown whenShumlin will make a decision on Sand's replacement. Sand will retire as Windsor County state's

A pair of romantic comedies highlight the home entertainment releases this week. At one end of the spectrum is the low-key but thoroughly entertaining indie 'Beginners,' a funny and sad tale of a commitment-phobic young man whose father comes out of the closet in his 70s just before being diagnosed with terminal cancer. At the other end is the lackluster 'Larry Crowne,' a star-studded studio production about a middle-aged man who has to reinvent himself after losing his long-time job. Small is better. Read on.
What It's About: Director-writer Mike Mills ('Thumbsucker') has a unique take on life in this lovingly told story of a father, a son and a dog. Chistopher Plummer plays the father, a man who has hidden his homosexuality from his son (Ewan McGregor) for decades. Now that his wife has died, Plummer decides to spill the beans to McGregor, who has his own problems with women … he can't seem to commit to one. The hook: Plummer's character is dying of cancer, so there's little time for the pair to get close. But with the help of a smooth talking dog (in subtitles), and a clever script, father and son find a deep bond in this touching and continuously entertaining story.
It's Kinda Like: 'Greenberg' meets 'Sideways'
What We Say: This heartwarming story hits all the right notes about the way family members might stray from each other … and then come together before it's too late. The script paints its three-dimensional characters with plenty of heart and great courage, creating personalities and situations that are about as real as fiction can aspire to. And don't forget that talking (and very smart) pooch, who steals the show and displays as much of the script's humor as the humans do. This charming indie outing has great performances by Plummer and McGregor, and by Goran Visnjic and Melanie Laurent as the men's respective lovers. Watch it with a very close friend.
• Extras: Commentary by writer-director Mills, 'A Short Film About Making Beginners.'

Watch a trailer:
'Larry Crowne'
What It's About: Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts come together for a romantic comedy about how it's never too late to reinvent yourself. When he suddenly is laid off from his long-standing blue-collar job, Larry Crowne (Hanks) enrolls at his local college to start over. There, he becomes part of an eclectic community of students and develops a crush on his teacher (Roberts), whose passion for teaching — and her husband — have waned. Naturally Hanks reinvigorates Roberts while learning his own lesson about finding one's place in the world.
It's Kinda Like: 'Last Chance Harvey' meets 'Back to School'
What the Critics Say: Despite the mega-star power of Hanks and Roberts, 'Larry Crowne' fizzled at the box office. And the critics weren't enthralled by the film: "When it comes to unemployment-themed cinema, I'll take the greater realism of last year's 'The Company Men' or this year's 'Everything Must Go' over Hanks's too rosy vision of life after the pink slip," Time magazine's Mary F. Pols said. Anthony Lane of the New Yorker chimed in with "To pluck romantic comedy from the jaws of a social crisis is a laudable project, worthy of Preston Sturges, and it's a pity that this featherlight drama — written by Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos, and directed by Hanks himself — should falter in its task." And, lastly, Ella Taylor of NPR said: "Neither fish nor fowl, 'Larry Crowne' skitters between pathos and shtick, wasting abundant acting talent as it goes." On the other hand, David Edelstein of New York Magazine said "The film is sometimes gentle to the point of blandness, but it's never flimsy." And Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel smacked his lips over the film: "It's perfectly pleasant … comfort food — meatloaf, potatoes and apple cobbler served as bubbly Tom Petty and ELO tunes waft from the soundtrack."

Watch a trailer:
Blu-ray Debuts:
- 'My Fair Lady': (1964) George Cukor's classic musical version of George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' starred Audrey Hepburn — at the peak of her career — and Rex Harrison, whose turn as Professor Henry Higgins resurrected his sagging career. Though corny by today's standards, the film still holds up, with gorgeous cinematography by Harry Stradling Sr. (who photographed the 1939 film version of 'Pygmalion') and wonderful songs by Lerner and Loewe.
- 'The Rules of the Game': (1939) Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir's classic is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners, in which a weekend at a marquis's countryside chateau lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haute bourgeois acquaintances. Still stunning and beautiful — and pertinent — after seven decades.
- 'Three Colors: Blue, White, Red': (1993-94) A boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss from Krzysztof Kieslowski. The films were named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution — liberty, equality, and fraternity — with each film using the title symbol to examine a group of ambiguously interconnected people experiencing tragedy to comedy in their personal lives. 'Red' was Kieslowski's last film — he died at age 54 during open-heart surgery following a heart attack in 1996.
- 'West Side Story': (1961) Five decades after its historic debut, the iconic musical returns in a 50th anniversary hi-def edition. With a record-breaking 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Original Score, the 1961 film took home more awards than any other movie-musical in the history of cinema. This monumental production not only features the timeless lyrics from master American composer Stephen Sondheim, but a brilliant score from Leonard Bernstein and beautiful direction by Robert Wise and co-director and choreographer Jerome Robbins. Stars Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, Simon Oakland, Ned Glass, William Bramley and Tucker Smith. Watch an exclusive Blu-ray clip:
Other New November 15 Releases:
- 'Bellflower': (2011) Best friends Woodrow and Aiden spend all of their free time building "Mad Max"-inspired flamethrowers and muscle cars in preparation for a global apocalypse. But when Woodrow meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love, he and Aiden quickly integrate into a new group of friends, setting off on a journey of love and hate, betrayal, infidelity, and extreme violence. Written, directed by and starring Glodell, the film is a heartfelt story of obsession, friendship, and young-love gone awry, showcasing Glodell's real-life creations: homemade flamethrowers and a fire-spewing 1972 Buick Skylark, Medusa. A painfully honest and quirky film
- 'Flypaper': (2011) A nervous bank customer tries to thwart two gangs of robbers — a high-tech trio who plan to break into the vault, and two dumb hicks whose idea of a big score is knocking off the ATMs — who both descend on the building, setting off a gun fight and taking everyone hostage. Stars Patrick Dempsey, Ashley Judd, Jeffrey Tambor, Mekhi Phifer, Curtis Armstrong and Tim Blake Nelson.
- 'Griff the Invisible': (2011) Griff, a shy and awkward office worker by day, finds escape from his ordinary, "invisible" life by assuming the identity of a fantastic superhero each night. But his secret is jeopardized when he meets Melody, a cute but unconventional daydreamer who quickly becomes fascinated by his idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own, and who takes it upon herself to rescue him. A warm, loving "underdog" superhero romance — that could have used tighter editing — with offbeat, engaging characters. Stars Ryan Kwanten and Maeve Dermody. Watch an exclusive clip:
- 'Highway Patrol Man': (1999) Director Alex Cox's ('Repo Man') Mexican cult film fav has finally made its way to DVD. Against his father's wishes, Pedro — a naive kid from Mexico City — joins the Federal Highway Patrol but his simple desire to do good rapidly comes into conflict with the reality of police work in a lonely rural environment populated by poor farmers, rich drug dealers, beautiful women, and his father's ghost. Stars Roberto Sosa, Bruno Bichir and Vanessa Bauche.
- 'Rio Sex Comedy': (2010) A mixed group of tourists and visitors on a working trip find themselves footloose and under the sway of the Brazilian city's erotic spell. Stars Charlotte Rampling, Bill Pullman, Irene Jacob, Jean-Maric Roulot.
- 'Walk a Mile in My Pradas': (2010) Two weeks before his wedding, a homophobic young man is turned gay — and his ridiculed gay co-worker turned straight — by a magical Christmas tree. Stars Nathaniel Marston, Tom Archdeacon, Tom Arnold, Mike Starr, Dee Wallace and Kirsten Lea.

My Passions: Ending Poverty in Nigeria and by extention Africa
My Challenges: Networking with Donor Community
My Vision for the Future: To have a State in which the Civil Society will play its primary role of driving development in partnership with the Public and Private Sectors
My Areas of Expertise: Community and Human Capacity Development
Brief report of re-sensitization and re-validation of facilitators and Community Development Committee (CDC) in Otutuama and Ophorigbala communities in Delta State by Aigbe Omoruyi GA, AAN.
Introduction: The Partnership Against Poverty (PAP) is ActionAid Nigeria's integrated development and community driven programme which recognizes that the fight against poverty can be won through unique partnership between all stakeholders, civil society, public sector and private sector.
The PAP programme of ActionAid Nigeria is engaging 12 communities in Delta State, all of these are hard to reach communities, with the face of poverty, only 8 of these communities have child sponsorship links, 4 of these communities are currently awaiting been linked.
Visit Background: The team made up of ActionAid Nigeria where I represented the General Assembly and the partnering Organization (Envirumedic) took off from warri after a briefing meeting at the partners' office on a 1hr 30mins ride to Okwagbe community, due to bad access road to the PAP community (Otutuama) we had to park the vehicle at Okwagbe community.
The road leading to the PAP community cannot be access at this time of the season by either a vehicle or a motor cycle (bike) the alternative was to go in by foot, between Okwagbe and Otutuama community, it took the team 1hr 40mins on foot walking (trekking) its was an exciting journey I confess. After the engagement at Otutuama community, the team left for Ophorigbala community, the journey which took 40mins on a motor cycle (bike).
The 7-member team had to pay over N3, 500 for the Motor cycle ride between Otutuama and Ophorigbala and back to Otutuama before the journey by foot back to Okwagbe community where we had left the vehicle.
In both communities the following was the resolve: - The role of ActionAid Nigeria vis a vis ActionAid International was brought to the fore, the relationship with Envirumedic and the community was stressed. The need for AAN visibility was the focus - Capacity Building of the Community was stressed, while emphasis was place on RIGHTS. - In Otutuama Community, a total of 100 children are currently expected to be linked for the Child Sponsorship Program, only two members of the CDC are viable, whereas ten members exist. o A ten-member CDC was nominated and affirmed by the community, they comprises five men and five women for equity. o Issues raised by the community members were cleared and specify direction given with the aim of achieving success. o The community agreed to send in their two facilitators (1 male, 1 female) for the first batch of training holding in Warri this month. - In Ophorigbala Community, a total of 137 children are currently expected to be linked with the Child Sponsorship Program. o Information regarding AAN was made available, as community members expressed fear over AAN and Envirumedic work in the community. The CDC and other community members were encouraged to support the process. o The source of funding was cleared with the community, hence the delay with funding for the project.
Findings: The State of Delta is characterized by indicators of a failed State; the Government of Delta cannot justify the huge resources available from IGR, the Federation account and other sources amounting to billions of naira. The people in these communities are living in a total abandonment from those responsible for their welfare.
Whereas, government's major role is to provide social services such as road, water and electricity supply for the good of the people, the case in Delta lack the thinking of the poor. The dwellers are calm and cool, violence is not the preserve of the people, and they live in harmony with one another.
I commend AAN PAP, the two communities selected in Ughelli South Local Government Area for PAP is worth it, the communities are poverty stricken, the major tenets of necessity (Basic amenities) are far from the dwellers, the major source of income for the people are farming and fishing, the rivers are nothing to write about, crude oil flows on the surface of the waters, farm produce are poor. The children look malnourish and sick.
Recommendations: - There is the urgent need to quickly facilitate the linking of the children in Otutuama and Ophorigbala. - There is also the urgent need to a high level advocacy to the Delta State Government to immediately mobilize the contractors back to site and complete the access road leading to the communities with over 20, 000 people. - Regular visit by AAN office is advised to keep hope alive in the communities. - Increased sensitization and engagement of the communities is also advised - General Assembly members should utilize this opportunity to familiarize with AAN PAP work most especially. - These communities should be selected for the review team visit for internationalization process.

Not sure if Yuthara's redemption is canon, but she is an interesting character whom I think people would like to see again. You will assist her as she completes her quest and battles the forces of the Dark Side.
I've got a suggestion, a question, and a (perhaps odd) request. For your Yuthura Ban mod, would it not make the most sense if it was only open to folks that chose the backstory for a light sided Revan (either male of female)? It wouldn't make much sense if bad guy Revan redeemed her IMHO.
Will your mod acknowledge any of the things that happened in TimBob's
The Redemption of Yuthura Ban
I have an "out there" suggestion for whomever voices your Yuthura Ban. Suggest to her that she also redo all of the lines that were said by that character in K1 as well. Might be nice as a small bonus add-on to your mod package and it will also allow you to sidestep the folks that might complain that she doesn't sound just like the original voice actress. Bad idea?

My colleague Joe Healy has assembled an amazing weekend of activity, nicely squeezed between the Developer and Infrastructure weeks at TechEd Orlando. There is a site that lists all the activities, which include Code Camps, .NET Us, Open Space discussions SQL seminars, and a bunch of other awesome stuff.
Since I am helping him out with the .NET U stuff, I figured I'd blog that stuff here as well.
We are having 3 .NET Universities run concurrently on Sunday. All registered attendees will receive their .NET U Alumni t-shirt, a .NET U *graduate* certificate, and a couple of books. And we may just drop class pictures on the site as well. Here are the courses with the Registration links:
.NET U presents: BizTalk Basics - A 4-part technical overview of BizTalk Server 2006, covering the essential aspects of getting BizTalk rolling in your IT department. This series is being delivered by BizTalk guru extraordinaire Jeff Barnes. Jeff is also including a bonus topic on RFID.
.NET U presents: SharePoint Fundamentals - a 4-part series discussing everything from installation through Web Parts with Windows SharePoint Services. This track is being delivered by some of the top SharePoint talent in the community, including Josh Carlisle, Mikhail Dikov, Jacob Sanford, Doug Ware, and Ted Pattison.
.NET U presents: Building Service-based applications in .NET - This session includes thorough technical primers on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows WorkFlow Foundation (WF), WorkFlow Services, and the new *Web programming* model in WCF (REST, JSON, and RSS). Rockstar presenters Bill Zentmayer, Bayer White, Noah Subrin, and Glen Gordon will show you the way to get started building service-based applications with the .NET Framework.
Hope to see a bunch of you there. Remember, this event is a free, community event, and not just for TechEd attendees. So feel free to come down, catch some sun, and enjoy a monster weekend of content.
