Oracle Applications Cloud Release 8 Customization: Your User Interface, Your Text
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on May 28, 2014
Introducing the User Interface Text Editor
In Oracle Applications Cloud Release 8, there's an addition to the customization tool set, called the User Interface Text Editor (UITE). When signed in with an application administrator role, users launch this new editing feature from the Navigator's Tools > Customization > User Interface Text menu option.
See how the editor is in there with other customization tools?
User Interface Text Editor is launched from the Navigator Customization menu
Applications customers need a way to make changes to the text that appears in the UI, without having to initiate an IT project. Business users can now easily change labels on fields, for example. Using a composer and activated sandbox, these users can take advantage of the Oracle Metadata Services (MDS), add a key to a text resource bundle, and then type in their preferred label and its description (as a best practice for further work, I'd recommend always completing that description).
Changing a simplified UI field label using Oracle Composer
In Release 8, the UITE enables business users to easily change UI text on a much wider basis. As with composers, the UITE requires an activated sandbox where users can make their changes safely, before committing them for others to see.
The UITE is used for editing UI text that comes from Oracle ADF resource bundles or from the Message Dictionary (or FND_MESSAGE_% tables, if you're old enough to remember such things).
Functionally, the Message Dictionary is used for the text that appears in business rule-type error, warning or information messages, or as a text source when ADF resource bundles cannot be used. In the UITE, these Message Dictionary texts are referred to as Multi-part Validation Messages.
If the text comes from ADF resource bundles, then it's categorized as User Interface Text in the UITE. This category refers to the text that appears in embedded help in the UI or in simple error, warning, confirmation, or information messages.
The embedded help types used in the application are explained in an Oracle Fusion Applications User Experience (UX) design pattern set. The message types have a UX design pattern set too.
Using UITE
The UITE enables users to search and replace text in UI strings using case sensitive options, as well as by type. Users select singular and plural options for text changes, should they apply.
Searching and replacing text in the UITE
The UITE also provides users with a way to preview and manage changes on an exclusion basis, before committing to the final result. There might, for example, be situations where a phrase or word needs to remain different from how it's generally used in the application, depending on the context.
Previewing replacement text changes. Changes can be excluded where required.
Multi-Part Messages
The Message Dictionary table architecture has been inherited from Oracle E-Business Suite days. However, there are important differences in the Oracle Applications Cloud version, notably the additional message text components, as explained in the UX Design Patterns.
Message Dictionary text has a broad range of uses as indicated, and it can also be reserved for internal application use, for use by PL/SQL and C programs, and so on. Message Dictionary text may even concatenate at run time, where required.
The UITE handles the flexibility of such text architecture by enabling users to drill down on each message and see how it's constructed in total. That way, users can ensure that any text changes being made are consistent throughout the different message parts.
Multi-part (Message Dictionary) message components in the UITE
Message Dictionary messages may also use supportability related numbers, the ones that appear appended to the message text in the application's UI. However, should you have the requirement to remove these numbers from users' view, the UITE is not the tool for the job. Instead, see my blog about using the Manage Messages UI.

Rx Minute: Sustaining Biologics R&D; Potential Impact of FOB Legislation
Rx Minute: Sustaining Biologics R&D; Potential Impact of FOB Legislation
Sustaining Biologics R&D; Potential Impact of FOB Legislation
A March 2009 report by Deloitte, examines the incentives needed to sustain the discovery of new biologics that should be considered in establishing an abbreviated pathway for approval of follow-on biologics. The report emphasizes that today's biotechnology sector is very different than the pharmaceutical sector of 1983, the year before the Hatch-Waxman (H-W) Act creating an abbreviated pathway for generic pharmaceuticals was passed. Unlike the pharmaceutical industry in the early 1980s, the biotechnology industry today is young, more fragmented and much more heavily reliant on venture capital (VC).
These differences make the biotech industry much more sensitive to financial disruption. Higher risks and lower returns could force VC firms to change their investing patterns, likely driving development overseas or reducing investment in the early, risky stages of research.
Another difference between the industries is in the complexity of the products themselves. Biologics are so large and complex that patents often do not cover the entire molecule or cover just the process for making the molecule. In many cases the patent would offer little protection and data exclusivity may be the means to providing the needed incentives.
The report concludes that to increase competition and foster continued medical innovation, Congress should consider different intellectual property policies for biologics today than were applied to pharmaceuticals in 1983. They caution that with reduced incentives "we would likely never know which promising compounds had gone undeveloped, and which medical breakthroughs had not been brought to market."
Cost of Medicare Drug Coverage Substantially Offset by Lower Overall Spending
A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the Medicare prescription drug benefit (Part D) increased the use of prescription drugs among enrollees who previously had either no drug coverage or modest benefits, but the cost of the increased use was offset by decreases in other medical spending for patients who previously had limited coverage.
The study tracked prescription drugs and other medical spending two years before Part D and two years after the program's implementation in four groups of elderly beneficiaries: those who consistently had no cap on drug coverage, those who had no previous drug coverage, and those who had a $150 or $350 quarterly cap before they were covered by Part D. After 2 years of the program, enrollees who previously had no drug coverage had increased their monthly drug spending by $41, as compared with those with no cap, but that was roughly offset by a decrease of $33 in their monthly medical spending. Similarly, those who previously had a $150 quarterly cap on drug spending increased their drug spending by $27, which was offset by a decrease of $46 in their medical spending. Enrollees with a previous $350 quarterly cap spent slightly more on both medicines and other medical services.
The study also found an increase in the number of prescriptions filled for managing high cholesterol and diabetes among all intervention groups, leading the authors to conclude that the offsetting reduction in medical spending was probably due to improved medication adherence among enrollees with chronic conditions.

'Survivor: Philippines' Finale: TV Recap
This has been one of the more compelling "Survivor" seasons in a while. We had 3 former Survivor players, all of whom had lost on previous seasons because they got hurt and medically evacuated, return for another shot at the game. We had a former Major League Baseball All-Star, Jeff Kent of the San Francisco Giants, trying to win. And we had a beloved 1980s child star, Lisa Welchel – Blair on "Facts of Life," fighting her instincts of honesty and loyalty because she knew the best way to win wasn't always to do what was "right" according to her moral compass.
One by one, the competitors fell until we were left with just four. Two of them are two of the familiar faces, Lisa and former Survivor Australia competitor Michael Skupin. Joining them in the Final Four are Malcolm Freberg and Denise Stapley, who have seemed to be in trouble throughout the whole game, but have survived and now find themselves in a position of power, as well-liked and strong competitors. Many think it will be impossible for Lisa and Skupin to beat either of them in the jury vote that will decide who wins a million dollars and the title of sole Survivor!
We shall see! Time for a rundown of the finale of the 25th season of Survivor!
The show begins with about 15 minutes recapping the season. You could just read the 2 paragraphs I wrote above to know all you need to know. 4 players left, 2 appear more liked than the others. Nuf said.
We start the new stuff with our 4 heroes celebrating the removal of evil Abi last episode. She was one of the most caustic and difficult people in Survivor history. Good riddance! They all dance to celebrate the fact that she is not there anymore.
Everybody is talking about how well-liked Malcolm is. Malcolm is quite worried that no one will want to go to the end with him. But, they have to put the strategy aside for a bit because there is going to be a reward challenge first.
It is a tough-looking challenge. Jeff tells us what the reward is… the winner gets an advantage in the final immunity challenge. That is a really big deal!
The challenge is physical at first, but like many Survivor challenges, it really comes down to how fast you solve the puzzle at the end. Malcolm, who is both a physical player and a smart puzzle-solver, wins and gets a scroll which will give him some kind of advantage in the final challenge. He is the one person who did not need an advantage. It is really hard to see him losing the next challenge at this point… but Survivor has a way of surprising you!
Back at camp, Malcolm tells us that he knows he should go to the end with Lisa and Skupin, not his longtime ally Denise. She approaches him and asks him to stay tight with her. He waffles a bit and Denise can tell Malcolm is no longer her ally. She goes to Lisa and cuts a new deal to vote Malcolm out. Lisa already had a deal in place with Malcolm, so she is playing the two likeable players against each other.
Lisa and Skupin are making the final three – the only question is which of the popular players they will be sitting next to.
Up next is the worst part of every single Survivor season — the "Fallen Comrades" walk where they reflect on all the "losers" who were voted out earlier in the game. Ugh! It takes forever, always does, and does nothing to advance the story. Sigh. I am going to go check on my twitter feed (@TVFilmTalk) while I endure this. Yawn.
It is over and the time has come for the crucial immunity challenge. It is a combination balancing and endurance challenge with a little ball that you need to keep from falling. Malcolm has his scroll with the advantage he won earlier this episode. His advantage is that if he drops his ball, he won't be out. He gets to put it back. Essentially, he gets 2 chances, while everyone else has 1. This advantage is a big deal.
As I watch, it looks like Denise is really good at this. She just seems to have nerves of steel and her hands are not shaking at all. Malcolm is the first person to drop his ball. He gets his reset, but he no longer has any advantage. He's in trouble. His hands are shaking, the ball is bouncing around. He drops his ball and he is out. He is strong, he is smart, but this just was not his kind of challenge.
Out of nowhere, Denise drops her ball too. Whoa, I did not see that coming! Lisa or Skupin will win the immunity. Whoever it is does not matter because they will agree to take out either Denise or Malcolm and I just don't see Malcolm and Denise trying to keep each other in the game.
It is a good battle, but Skupin wins. He has an incredible smile on his face. He will be in the final 3. He keeps on saying he has a compelling story to tell the jury. All we need to know now is who he will be sitting next to when he tells it.
Back at camp, Malcolm is worried. He should be. He goes to Lisa and Skupin and makes sure they are still with him. They say they are. Moments later, Denise goes to Skupin and Lisa as well. She wants to vote Malcolm out. They imply they are with her too. Lying is really easy on Survivor.
Skupin can't decide what to do. A piece of him wants to go up against Malcolm, "the best of the best," in the final. He has this "I am a warrior" thing going. I think he is foolish because Malcolm is unbeatable in the final vote. Lisa seems to agree. She wants to take Malcolm out. They head to tribal council and I suspect Malcolm is about to take the walk of shame.
Tribal council is all about the question of Malcolm or Denise. The telling moment comes when Jeff Probst asks Lisa if there is a reason she should take him to the end. She hesitates and Malcolm gets really worried. She finally says, "No, there is no reason for me to take him to the end." I think Malcolm now knows his fate.
By a 3-1 vote, Malcolm is taken out. His parting words, "Congratulations, Denise." He clearly feels betrayed by Lisa and Skupin, who had promised him they would go to the final 3 with him. His vote is going to Denise. I suspect he is not going to be alone. It will take a very compelling presentation to the jury for Skupin or Lisa to win.
Back at camp, Skupin still insists he is going to tell a compelling story to the jury and that he can beat Denise. But, before they get to the jury, there is a final breakfast feast, complete with champagne, bacon, croissants, and lots of grilled veggies. They eat and then do the ceremonial burning of the camp. Survivor loves setting fires!
Final Tribal Council time!! The final 3 get to make a statement to the jury before they get jury questions.
Denise goes first. She points out that she went to every single tribal council on the show, a first in Survivor history, and she survived every one of them. Her statement is a bit arrogant. She points out that she beat every member of the jury. I think she is taking a risky route, saying she deserved it and they should vote her the million because of that. Hmmm, juries don't always like that kind of thing.
Lisa and Skupin also plead their cases. Lisa talks about how hard it was for her to turn on people at various times. Skupin talks about being a returning player and how everyone wanted the returnees out. Now it is the jury's turn to speak.
Artis speaks first. He is a typical angry jury member talking about how he was loyal and it cost him the game. I hate speeches like this. Sore loser!! He gives no clue who he will vote for.
Carter goes next. He does not seem bitter. He asks Skupin what it was like when other people said it was time to vote Carter out. Skupin gives a tough, honest answer talking about the need to remove friendship from the game when the time comes to make a strategic move. I think it is a good answer. I suspect Carter is voting for Skupin.
Pete challenges Lisa a bit, but his most important moment comes when he asks Denise why she deserves to win. She gives a really good answer talking about how she found cracks in alliances and made the most of those. I think Denise won some brownie points.
RC only talks to Lisa and Skupin. She just seems friendly to them. I don't think she is voting for Denise.
Malcolm is up next and he starts by saying he is considering voting for Lisa for the first time. He then directs some anger at Denise. He says he is sick of her always trying to say what people want to hear. Hmm, maybe Malcolm has decided he doesn't like Denise any more.
Jeff Kent directs his questions at Skupin and Lisa. Skupin talks about how hard it was for him because he was a target so often. Lisa talks about how she was strategic the whole way.
Evil Abi is up next. She asks Michael and Lisa why she should vote for them. She does it in such a disdainful and mean fashion. It is impossible for Abi to be anything but crazy. I think she is voting for Denise.
Penner is last. He slams Denise, which makes no sense. He then attacks Skupin and implies he thinks no one will vote for Skupin. He then turns to Lisa and outs her as a former teen star on Facts of Life. No one seems like they knew. He implies that this means Lisa was dishonest because she did not tell anyone about it. Lisa has a good answer for this, but I suspect Penner has hurt her with the jury, at least a little bit. Penner gives no hint at who he will vote for.
Time for everyone to vote. The editing has done a good job of making it seem like there are real options other than Denise, but I think that is just them trying to create drama. I won't be at all surprised to see Denise win with 5 or 6 out of the 8 votes.
They show us RC (Lisa), Penner (Denise), and Carter's (Skupin) votes. There are 5 votes unrevealed… Jeff Probst leaves the stage and is magically transported from tape to the live studio in Hollywood. A large audience in on hand to see the votes read live!
Before the winner is revealed, they take a moment of silence for the Newtown, CT shooting victims. Suddenly, Survivor just doesn't seem all that important any more.
Probst reads the votes.
Lisa, Denise, Skupin… we already knew these three. Now come the ones that matter.
Denise… Denise… and then Jeff says the words that do not surprise anyone — "the winner of Survivor Philippines, Denise!"
Told ya she was going to get almost all the votes. It was a blowout 6-1-1. Skupin's bluster about being able to sell a good story to the jury never panned out.
Denise is a deserving winner, no question about it. She rarely controlled the game, but made the right alliances and just kept on fighting and working hard. I think she was someone easy to like around camp and she was a hard worker and a real challenge competitor for a small woman. In the end, she has to go down as one of the best competitors in Survivor history.
Congrats to her!! Enjoy that giant check for $1,000,000!
So, do all of you agree that Denise deserved to win? Leave a comment below and let's chat about it!

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
When it comes to a man's prostate, it really is a growing problem. In fact, doctors say all men will develop at least an enlarged prostate if they live long enough – it's just part of the aging process.
"Everybody's prostate is growing throughout their lives," says Dr. Brooke Johnson, a Dean & St. Mary's urologist. "It starts in your 40s and by your 50s the size of the prostate can lead to difficulty in urination like a slow stream, not getting completely empty, having to get up multiple times at night, those types of things."
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located near the bladder. An enlarged prostate is known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. It starts out as a nuisance and can stay just that. But, for some men, it progresses into something more serious like urinary retention, urinary tract infection or bladder stones and that's when it's time to turn to your doctor for advice.
"In my mind when it starts to cause permanent damage, it's serious," says Dr. Johnson. "If it takes a long time to go to the bathroom, that's an inconvenience. But if things get worse, you can develop bladder distention which ultimately can lead to the bladder no longer being able to contract and push urine out. People who aren't able to empty their bladder can develop kidney issues. And bladder stones - while not damaging –also won't go away on their own and require surgery to fix."
BPH can be caused by prostatitis, an abnormal inflammation of the prostate potentially caused by an infection. A long course of antibiotics can sometimes clear up prostatitis. But alternative treatments also might be needed.
"Because we don't always know definitively what we're attacking, it's hard to narrow down a specific treatment," says Dr. Johnson. "Antibiotics are one choice, but others include anti-inflammatory medication, alpha blockers, or even something as simple as taking warm baths to relax the prostate."
Some men swear that herbal supplements, such as palmetto, help to keep their prostates in check; doctors say the jury is still out.
"There are people who would advocate for something like palmetto, but when you look at the studies, although some show there may be a mild effect, there isn't clinical evidence of a major benefit to taking the herb," says Dr. Johnson. "Additionally, there's not much you can change when it comes to diet or lifestyle to slow or stop the growth of your prostate."
The most serious problem of all is prostate cancer which is the second most common cancer next to skin cancer in men. And for African American men, there's a 60 percent greater risk of developing prostate cancer. But even the fastest growing prostate cancer is relatively slow when compared to other types of cancer.
Men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have several treatment options. Which is best depends, in part, on the man's age.
The first treatment option is surgery and radiation. This aggressive treatment is primarily for men who have the fast growing prostate cancer and many years life expectancy. However, there are potential side effects from surgery, so men may choose to follow what's called "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance." With this approach the cancer is monitored to see how fast it's growing.
"With active surveillance you avoid the side effects of treatment," says Dr. Johnson. "And many times we find, especially in older men, they will die from other natural causes before the cancer can grow large enough to cause harm."
However, just hearing the word "cancer" can evoke some pretty strong emotions. But Dr. Johnson says not all forms are cancer are the same.
"Hearing the word cancer in the 1970s meant you were likely going to die, but as patients are becoming more educated they realize not all cancer carries the same weight," he says. "Really, when you're talking about screening for cancer I find most patients are willing to have the discussion. The danger comes in the patients who never have the discussion."
So how do you detect prostate cancer? If you wait for signs and symptoms, the cancer could be already widespread. Instead, men should talk to their doctors about a prostate screening called PSA testing. Since this particular cancer seems to have a strong genetic component, you may want to have this discussion when you're younger especially if your father, brother or son has prostate cancer.
"For men with no family history, PSA testing should be done beginning at age 50. But for people with a family history and African Americans, this testing should really begin around age 40," says Dr. Johnson.
The question then becomes when to stop. Critics argue that long-term testing leads to overdiagnosing the cancer in men whose lives wouldn't have been impacted because it grows slowly. Dr. Johnson says that's why guidelines now say you can stop looking for prostate cancer beginning at age 75 or when your life expectancy is 10 years or less.
Dr. Johnson says there's a lot of opinion out there on the topic of prostate health and it's important for all men to be educated. "The key is for a patient to get informed and make a plan for themselves."
Who's at Risk for Prostate Cancer?
Prostate Problems by the Numbers
Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
If your doctor detects prostate cancer and recommends a prostatectomy, you have several options. The first is called open prostatectomy. In this surgery, doctors make an incision in the lower abdomen or groin and then remove the prostate. Recovery tends to be longer and there's a greater risk for complications. In contrast, laparoscopic surgery requires several tiny incisions, has a much smaller risk for complications and better recovery time.
Dr. Brooke Johnson says the best option for many is the newest procedure, laparoscopic robot-assisted surgery. In this surgery small incisions are once again made and the surgeon guides tiny 8 mm robotic "hands" to remove the prostate gland. It had the shortest recovery time and patients report feeling less pain.

6 Relaxing Yoga Poses to Try at H(ommmm)e
For a quick breather -- try these calming yoga poses in your living room
Follow her directions:
1. Start in a seated kneeling position and bring your big toes together while keeping your knees roughly hip-width apart.
2. Hinge from your hips, keeping your spine elongated, and gently extend your body forward to rest your lower abdomen on the inside of your quads/inner thighs.
3. Your hands can either extend out in front of you with palms facing down or behind you with palms facing up, whichever is more comfortable.
While in the pose, take a "big, beautiful Buddha belly breath in," Pony says, and a deep exhale out to calm the body. If you want, focus on the point between your eyebrows -- your third eye -- to find a deeper connection within yourself and feel more grounded.

I studied Iyengar yoga for several years, and all of these poses are indeed relaxing and restorative. Supine bound angle pose (AKA supta baddha konasana) is also an excellent pose for relieving menstrual cramps. This is inspiration to to get back into some gentle yoga at home.

The producers of "Constantine" on Sunday announced a new leading lady for the comic book-inspired drama coming to NBC this fall.
Angelica Celaya, an actress best known for her work on telenovelas, replaces Lucy Griffiths, who recently departed the project. Celaya will play Zed, a psychic and foil of demon-hunter John Constantine (Matt Ryan). She'll be introduced early in the show's run.
"She's someone who can go toe-to-toe with John and that's ultimately what we felt we needed," executive producer Daniel Cerone told reporters at the TV critics press tour.
In contrast, Griffiths played a character named Liv in the pilot, but that character came across as too innocent and "reactive," and left producers feeling "hamstrung."
"We wanted a more dynamic relationship, as opposed to someone who is a teacher-mentor and a student," Cerone said. "It just didn't feel as fertile and rich of an area as just a strong a man and a strong woman who are both very different."
Zed is a character from the "Hellblazer" comic book series, who comes with "an interesting dark past," said executive producer David S. Goyer.
Celaya's English-language credits include appearances on "Dallas" and "Burn Notice."

From the side, the GTX Limited iS 260 has a sleek and stylish look. Notice the plush driver's seat with raised backrest.
Seen here is the new comfort design seat with raised backrest for the driver and strap handle for the passenger.
If you are going to use the word luxury then part of that needs to be comfort. Comfort for a rider starts at the seat and Sea-Doo has put work into designing a seat that is ergonomically shaped and well-upholstered for maximum comfort. Notice how the seat narrows where your knees are, creating a more comfortable and natural position. The backrest is firm and designed to support the driver's back while also providing a soft ride.
The dash of the GTX is designed with large easy-to-read multi-function gauges, adjustable wing mirrors and ergonomically aligned handlebars.
Turning our attention to the handlebars we found ergonomically shaped handgrips positioned so that when you are in the driving position your hands and your knees are in a more natural, tucked-in position. The handlebar is also fully adjustable. And, being a luxury machine, you expect to have features, and the features are there. On the port handle grip are thumb controls for the VTS or Variable Trim System which allows you to adjust the attitude of the bow angle by changing the position of the jet pump nozzle. The lever forward of the grip is the iBR or Integrated Brake and Reverse. This allows you to switch from forward to reverse without removing your hand from the grip, give you a true neutral, and when you deploy the brake, allowing you to stop in less distance. On sthe tarboard side are the thumb controls for cruise control.
The display is feature rich with a mix of a large analog display and digital multi-function displays that provides 35 different bits of information including fuel level, tachometer, speedometer, hour meter, compass, clock, fuel consumption meter, time/distance to empty, altitude, water temperature, depth finder, touring / sport mode, ECO mode, cruise control, and slow mode, to name a few.
The display of the GTX Limited iS 260.
The "iS" stands for a feature called intelligent Suspension. This system allows the hull to move independently of the upper deck, acting as the shock absorber and suspension to smooth out the ride for the driver. It is electronically controlled so you can set it manually or in automatic mode. Our tests have shown that this system works as advertised.
Shown here is the console storage with dry bag insert.
A clever feature Sea-Doo's dry bag. It fits into the console storage and can be removed and converted into a backpack, perfect for landing on an island and taking a stroll.
Removable dry bag storage.
Another clever item we especially like is the speed tie. The speed tie is a set of spring loaded retractable docking lines. Not only does this prevent you from forgetting lines, it means they are easily accessible when needed.
The speed tie docking line is located on the port side of the console.
The GTX comes with iControl which is an all-encompassing term that Sea-Doo uses to describe the major technological features which include the iBR and iS we have discussed above. Others include: iTC, intelligent Throttle Control which operates electronically to allow you to start in neutral, then select activity-specific, Cruise Control like Touring/Sport mode or ECO mode, and control the Variable Trim System. In our opinion this allows for a more interactive riding experience.
Since the GTX is electronically controlled there are some other features like the iControl Learning Key. This allows you to program the machine to limit the performance based on the experience of the rider. There is also a digitally encoded security system, one of the first in the industry. That allows you to electronically lock your machine, making it impossible for anyone else to start or operate.
The heart of the GTX is the engine and a luxury PWC cannot be built without providing a powerful propulsion system. The GTX Limited iS 260 has a 1503 XHO Rotax 4-TEC engine. This is a 1,494 cc four-stroke multiport injected engine with a supercharger that has an external intercooler and a closed loop cooling system.
Here is the aft end of the GTX Limited.
Looking at the aft end of the GTX Limited iS 260 there is a lot to talk about. Centered just above the deck is the tow point, and note the cupped indents to either side; these are where the observer places their feet when facing aft to keep an eye on the action at the end of the tow line.
On the back edge are two hand grips to assist in re-boarding along with the fold down extended re-boarding step. Centered on the aft deck is another speed tie location, just pull out the dock line and raft up or tie off to the dock.
Raised deck hatch showing storage area.
When the aft deck is raised you'll find two dry storage areas. To port is a deep side compartment and to starboard is more storage with a dedicated spot for your required fire extinguisher. Something we should point out about this storage is that you can access it easily while on the water since it opens facing the driver. This also makes it easy for the driver access the fire extinguisher faster should it be needed.
In this image you can clearly see the splash deflector at the bow and the flip out easy access fueling point.
You can't talk about the GTX without talking about the S3 hull. This hull is specially designed with a step feature and other subtle elements to provide a ride that hugs the water, turns smooth and responsively, and helps reduce the overall weight of the machine. The hull is made using the closed mold process and the new redesign provides the strength and durability needed for a high performance PWC, but with a lower weight.
With the goal of designing a luxury performance watercraft, in our opinion the team at Sea-Doo hit their mark. The GTX Limited iS 260 offers comfort, features, and performance in a great looking package. Starting at $16,899 the Limited package also includes a custom cover, sandbag anchor, glove box organizer and safety kit. There is even an option for a wakeboard rack. The GTX comes with a BRP limited warranty which covers the watercraft for one year. If you are in the market for a PWC, we think the GTX should be on your short list.

Wreck sends infant, two drivers to hospital
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 1:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 1:42 p.m.
A mother and her infant were seriously injured when a pickup truck crossed into the path of her SUV on Kanuga Road Monday afternoon.
Photo Galleries
The baby, whose condition was unknown Monday night, was taken to the Prenatal Intensive Care Unit at Mission Hospital in serious condition. The baby's mother was also taken to Mission Hospital.
N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Mark Corbin said a Chevy pickup truck crossed the center line and crashed into the front of a Honda SUV near London Road at about 12:15 p.m.
The driver of the pickup truck was also taken to the hospital. The drivers' conditions were serious but did not seem life-threatening immediately following the accident, Valley Hill Fire and Rescue Chief Tim Garren said at the scene.
Corbin said he did not know why the truck veered over the center line. The accident is still under investigation and charges may be pending.
Evidence at the scene did not indicate that high speed was a contributing factor, Corbin said.
Corbin said the infant was properly restrained in a car seat, which was still secured in the back of the SUV when Corbin arrived at the scene.
Two dogs riding in the cab of the pickup truck were injured and taken for treatment by an animal control officer.
Kanuga Road was closed Monday afternoon while the N.C. Highway Patrol conducted its investigation.

STOCKTON - A man waded into a central Stockton waterway and drowned Thursday afternoon as police arrived to check on his wellbeing, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched to check on the man's welfare after police received a report that he was acting suspiciously, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. When officers arrived, the man ran away. Officers spotted the man again as he walked into the water and swam away in an inlet branching off the Stockton Deepwater Channel near the 1300 block of West Washington Street, Silva said.
"The officer went into the water in an attempt to rescue the person, but he was not able to locate him," Silva said.
The Stockton Fire Department's water rescue team responded to the scene and found the man approximately 20 minutes later, authorities said. Rescue workers performed CPR in an attempt to save the man, but he did not survive, police said.
The man's identity was not released Thursday pending notification of family members, authorities said.

In the news section of the developers site... Good news for Mac users.
Screen shots for Beta 8 look promising... http://www.kanzelsberger.com/temp/leo2.png
Krita is an image manipulation and painting application by the KDE project (thus free software). Itâs a cool, but not prominent part of KOffice. It currently only runs on Mac OS X though X11, but Krita 2.0 is expected to be released in early 2008 as native Mac application.
More about Krika can be found at http://cyrilleberger.blogspot.com/
Not sure why my last comment got a negative, even if someone doesn't like it it's still a fair comment. kamikazow - I wouldn't mind knowing more about Krita on a mac, any chance of a link :)
Just a warning to everybody who thinks about buying this app:
It's not that Pixel is bad. The development is just incredibly slow. Pixel is "1.0 Beta" since years. Eg http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=4 lists 2005-09-23 as release date for Beta 5. Beta 6 was released on 2006-04-09.
Pixel32 (the previous name of Pixel) had the 0.99 release when I was still a teenager and now I'm in the mid-twenties! (Really! No kidding!)
If you buy Pixel, you get a very minor update roughly once a year with no guarantee that your platform will be supported any longer (the last MacPPC build is Beta 6; Beta 7 is Intel-only).
Consider Photoshop Elements, GIMP (X11), or the upcoming Krita 2.0 instead.
Strange comment. This is a mac app. It just doesn't behave like one. For some this isn't too much of an issue. Blender (http://osx.iusethis.com/app/blender) doesn't either and that is a fine app.
This may work on a Mac, but it's not a Mac application. It has a Windows interface--the menus are inside the application rather than integrated into the main menu bar, opening a file presents an ugly file tree, not the typical finder-like search. It's similar to Photoshop but the interface is less user-friendly, and the selection tools don't work very well.
This isn't what you are looking for. This is like Photoshop and ImageReady rolled into one (only buggier). Great value though if you can't afford Photoshop and for whatever reason don't want to use Gimp.
Just a correction to my last comment (as I can't edit that post). There's a typo. It should say; "...how much of a pixel editor is this, ..."
I'm curious to know, how much of a is this, as compared to Pixen, which is a pure pixel editor, and only that (meaning, it doesn't have much in common with Photoshop and those guys, except for layers functionality).
I'm looking for a decent application to create pixel art (as in more or less minimalistic graphics). But the last time I tried downloading and install Pixel Image Editor, I gave up since the DarwinPorts installation seemed too complicated, or rather, it didn't work at all for me.
Happy for any advice, preferably from a pixel artist's point of view.

MARIETTA - It won't happen again for 100 years, so some people are taking advantage of today's date, 12-12-12, to do something special - like get married.
"I have two weddings (today). I think it's just because of the unique date - and one of those couples is getting married at 12:12 (p.m.) on 12-12-12," said Cindy Mollohan, owner of Village Cakery in Vincent.
Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz will preside over at least two weddings today.

Jan Shepherd, floral designer with Two Peas in a Pod on Front Street in Marietta, arranges a bridal bouquet for a wedding scheduled for noon today.
"The first will be at 9 a.m., and the second at 2:30 p.m.," he said. "It's the 12-12-12 date they were looking at, and I was surprised neither couple wanted to be married at noon."
The Marietta Municipal court docket includes one marriage today that will be performed at noon by Judge Janet Dyar-Welch. The ceremony will take place in the community building at Lookout Park.
"Realizing the significance of that time frame, I've set my phone alarm at 11:45 a.m. to be sure I won't be late," Dyar-Welch said.
Fact Box
About Dec. 12, 2012
* It is believed that the date 12-12-12 brings luck and good fortune, which is why many couples have chosen to be married today.
* A survey by David's Bridal indicated 7,500 brides will wed today, a 1,446 percent increase from Dec. 12, 2011.
* At 12 minutes and 12 seconds past noon today the numerical date will be 12-12-12, 12:12:12. It will also be 12 days before Christmas.
* The next date with repetitive numerals will not occur for another 88 years-on Jan. 1, 2101.
Source: The Associated Press
That's good news for the couple - Brian Herron, 37, and Niccole Burkhart, 32, of Marietta.
"We haven't been planning the wedding for long, but thought Dec. 12 would be a neat time to have it," Herron said. "And I thought it would be an easy date to remember for our anniversary."
Burkhart said it will be a small wedding.
"We're expecting about 50 people to attend," she said. "We just thought being married on Dec. 12 would be something different to do."
The Two Peas in a Pod florist on Front Street in Marietta isn't often asked to provide flowers for a wedding in the middle of the week in December.
"I said, 'Well, when is the day?'" recalled floral designer Jan Shepherd, when she received a call about wedding arrangements. "She said, 'Wednesday, 'cause it's 12-12-12.'"
The couple is scheduled to tie the knot at noon today.
That just goes to show a wedding date - like the flowers, decorations and other aspects - aren't limited to the traditional, Shepherd said.
"Weddings can be whatever you want," she said. "You don't have to stick to the normal."
Emily Smith, sales and marketing director for the Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg, said the hotel will be hosting one wedding tonight for a couple who purposefully slated the event on Dec. 12.
"I think it's just naturally happened because this is the last year we'll have this (repetitive) date for some time," she said. "And some people think it's a lucky day."
In Columbus the 12-12-12 date is being marked with a noon mass wedding event dubbed "A Celebration of Love." Bernice Potter, of Columbus, is assisting coordinator Nikki Ransom with the event to be held at the King Arts Complex in the city.
"This was her idea, but we've been friends since high school and I volunteered to help," Potter said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, both for newlyweds or those who just want to renew their marriage vows."
She said as of Tuesday nearly 100 couples had registered for the event, the first of its kind in the Columbus area.
"It's a full-blown wedding, but with one pastor presenting the marriage vows," Potter said. "There will be one featured couple, but everyone will participate and all of the couples will get a special cake."
She added that some government officials are also expected, including Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman.
As for 12-12-12 birthdays, Marietta Memorial Hospital Director of Marketing and Public Relations Jennifer Offenberger said there is the possibility of two children being born at the hospital today.
And Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg expects to deliver more than twice that many today.
"It looks like we're going to have the possibility of about five babies being born on Dec. 12," said spokesman Tim Brunicardi.
Although that number of births is a bit unusual for any one day, he did not believe any of those babies' births had been planned for 12-12-12.
According to the Associated Press, there won't be another repetitive date, where all three numerals are the same, for more than 88 years, on Jan. 1, 2101 - or 01-01-01.
However, there is hope for those who want an easy-to-remember anniversary date. The date 11-12-13 is less than a year away.

- Great GunThis gun has great rpm is very solid and durable, the fps is respectable and accuracy is satisfactory, you will have no problem busting soda cans or beer bottles with this m16.
- Great Value, Loads of Fun!So far I've been nothing but stunned with how well this rifle performs and feels. I was worried that the plastic parts would creak and have a bit of play to them as have some other ABS guns I've owned. This one however feels completely solid. I have yet to hear any plastic creaking, and the parts are very well constructed and are locked into place. As for the actual performance of the gun, it shoots reasonably straight and has a great rate of fire. It could go head to head with some $200 AEG's any day of the week. The battery setup is really convenient too, you could easily change out your nunchuck style battery in 30 seconds flat. All things considered, if you're in the market for a high-value, relatively low-cost AEG, buy this one!
- Amazing GunI absolutely love this gun! it has amazing range and power behind it that makes this thing scary to be on the receiving end of. The only problems I found with it are that the gun doesn't come with a sling (which sucks because it gets heavy quick in the field), and getting the hand guard undone to hook up the battery in is a PAIN. It took me almost 10 minutes to get the guard to pop off, and another 10 to put it back on. Those two problems aside this gun is amazing and well worth the money for beginners and intermediate players.

Harbaugh is:
a) A complete tool (he may be a winner, but he's also a tool).
b) Hates - absolutely hates - the NY Giants because they've beaten his team's *** twice in huge games.
So, he's taking it out on Jacobs, who is an easy target, and bleeds Giant Blue, and has a big mouth....I love the guy, but he can be a vocal pain in the *** sometimes too.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells

My Bday is 12/12/12. As a present i want BJ, Brandon Jacobs that is.
Once a Giant, always a Giant. However, once an ex-Giant, always an ex-Giant.
I for one thought Harbaugh was a decent (if hot-headed) coach. But seeing some of the things he's done there (the aforementioned handling of Jacobs, the way he's pretty much treated Alex Smith like dirt because he just happened to get a concussion, etc) have really given me a really low opinion of him. I hope that we outright blow them out if we get to face them in the playoffs.
Got me all excited for nothing.
..Oh yeah, and **** Harbaugh!
For a Giant fan that I personally knew: My mom. May she smile and be delighted whenever her favorite player - Victor Cruz - scores a touchdown and does his salsa dance.
Thank you mom for everything! Let's Go Giants!

SANTA CLARA -- A 25-year-old woman who was walking on Highway 101 near Great America Parkway was hit and killed by a car around 9 p.m. Wednesday despite efforts of good Samaritans who moved the woman off the roadway and tried to revive her, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Santa Clara County coroner's office identified her as Azaleah Aglubut of San Jose.
Motorists called the CHP around 8:38 p.m. to report a person stumbling on the roadway and walking into traffic lanes. About 20 minutes later, a BMW driven by a Redwood City woman struck the pedestrian.
The driver of the BMW pulled over and called 911. She remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.
Following the collision, the pedestrian's body came to rest in the far right lane of traffic, according to CHP Officer Chris Falkowski. Several motorists pulled to the right shoulder, moved the woman's body off the highway and began lifesaving efforts.
Emergency crews also tried to revive the woman, but she died at the scene.
Generally, the CHP recommends motorists stay in their vehicles and "be good witnesses" following a collision on a freeway. The CHP cites recent cases in the Bay Area where people got out of their vehicles to try and help those involved in a collision and were struck and killed.
But Falkowksi said he understands why the motorists who walked onto the freeway and moved the woman to the right shoulder.
"It's a really difficult thing to say, from a law enforcement perspective, don't do anything," Falkowski said. "From a human nature perspective, that's how most of us are geared, to go help. We're thankful they were able to move themselves and the pedestrian over to the shoulder.
"If the pedestrian was in the lane for another few minutes, there could have been another accident."
It does not appear the woman who was struck had been driving anywhere in the vicinity, Falkowski said. The CHP is still investigating why the woman was walking on the roadway against the flow of traffic.
The San Jose CHP office is requesting any witnesses to this collision to contact Officer Montano at 408-467-5400 x373.

1942′s hit movie, The Major and the Minor is one of my favorite romance/comedy films. �It was written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, based upon the play Connie Goes Home, by Edward Childs Carpenter. � Wilder also directed, and �this was �his first American movie to direct. �The film stars Ginger Rogers, as the Minor, and Ray Milland as the Major. � Supporting players in the cast are Robert Benchley, Rita Johnson, Diana Lynn, Norma Varden, Frankie Thomas and Lela Rogers, Ginger's own mother, as Mrs. Applegate.
Ginger is Susan Applegate, an Iowa native, who has tried to live on her own in NYC. �She has given herself a term of 3 years to make it there, and if she can't, she will take the train back to Iowa. �At her current job, as a scalp masseuse for the Revigorous System, her client for the evening(she has to make house calls) Mr. �Albert Osborne(Robert Benchley), makes a pass at her and that is the straw that breaks the camel's back. �Susan gets away from Mr. Osborne, quits her job, packs up her belongings and heads for Union Station and a ticket out of town. �Unbeknownst to her, train fares have gone up, and she doesn't have enough money for an adult fare. �She overhears a mother buying train tickets for her two children, and after studying what some girls in the station are wearing, Susan heads to the nearest ladies room and transforms her adult outfit into a child's ensemble. �She redoes her hair into two braids, and scrounges up some of her change to buy a balloon from a nearby vendor. �With the change made, Susan goes to the ticket agent and buys a child's fare for a trip to Iowa.
On board the train, Susan decides to venture out on the back platform of the train for a cigarette break. �A suspicious conductor follows her and sees her smoking. �Susan realizes she's been caught but manages to evade the conductor �and jumps into the nearest compartment to hide in. �This compartment happens to belong to Major Philip Kirby(Ray Milland). �He is surprised and startled to have an unexpected visitor and Susan quickly thinks up a lie, that she is Susan, age 12, and everyone calls her Su-Su. �She explains she is very frightened �traveling by herself back to Iowa, and he agrees that she can stay in his compartment until he reaches his stop. �Major Kirby is an instructor at a military academy and he is engaged to Pamela Hill(Rita Johnson). �Pamela is beautiful and very ambitious about her future husband's military career, but she doesn't want him to be on active duty. �Major Kirby is frustrated at the academy, and wants nothing more than to be called into active duty. �This subplot will involve Su-Su to quite a degree.
As luck would have it, there is a terrible rain storm overnight, �the tracks flood, and the train has to stop. �Pamela and her father, the commanding officer at the academy, drive to meet the train where it is stopped to bring Major Kirby back to the academy. �Pamela is shocked to find Su-Su sleeping in the lower berth in the Major's compartment. �She accuses him of being unfaithful to her and tells her father about this �outrage. �Major Kirby quickly explains that the girl in his compartment is 12 year old Su-Su, scared to travel alone, and that he simply let her share the compartment for the night. �Still worried about Su-Su with the train being unable to continue to its stops, Major Kirby insists on bringing her with them back to the academy and then they'll call her parents to drive there to pick her up. �Pamela and her father, meeting Su-Su properly, �agree to let her stay at their house, sharing a bedroom with Pamela's younger sister, Lucy(Diana Lynn). � Lucy is in high school, and she sees through Su-Su's disguise. �She promises to keep Susan Applegate's secret if Susan will help her ruin her older sister's plan to keep Major Kirby out of active duty service. �Susan agrees, and pretending to be Pamela, calls a Washington D. C. connection of the Hill's, and gets Major Kirby's status changed.
There is another sub-plot, where 5 of the cadets are ordered by Major Kirby to spend an hour each with Su-Su, to give her a tour of the academy, and to help her enjoy her visit. �What Major Kirby doesn't seem to realize is that these cadets, at seeing Su-Su, have one thing on their minds -to get her alone for some kissing! �It is quite funny seeing how each cadet tries to do this, and Su-Su, being in her twenties and not really 12, is quite wise to what they are up to. �There is also a ball planned for the weekend of Su-Su's visit, which she has to go to, and a funny scene where all of the girls invited to the ball from a neighboring girl's school are all imitating actress Veronica Lake's iconic one-eye showing hairdo. � Cadets' �parents have also been invited to the ball and Su-Su is in for a surprise when Mr. Osborne attends, he being the older man who tried to make a pass at her when she was trying to massage his scalp! �Su-Su's real identity is revealed to Pamela, who threatens to reveal Susan's real identity to one and all and that that will hurt Major Kirby's career. �At this point in the movie, we know Susan has fallen in love with Major Kirby, but she agrees to Pamela's threat and quietly sneaks away from the ball, packs, and leaves the academy. �I won't go on to reveal the ending, as I want the readers of this blog to seek out the film and see the ending for themselves!
Ginger Rogers shines in this movie, doing a pretty good job at acting like a 12 year old, yet having to hide her growing feelings of love for the Major. �Rogers had recently won the Best Actress Oscar for the drama Kitty Foyle, so appearing in this light-hearted comedy appealed to her, and in fact, when she was a struggling young dancer and singer, traveling with her mother and being low on train fare, Rogers had actually pretended to be 12 in order to get child-priced train fare. �Paramount Pictures originally wanted Cary Grant to play the Major, but director Billy Wilder, stopped in his car at a traffic light one day, saw actor Ray Milland in the next car over, and asked him if he'd like to be in the picture he was getting ready to direct. �Milland said,"Sure!" and that's how he got the part over Grant. �Milland does a great job in his part too, acting mannerly and concerned about a 12 year old's well-being, and he's deft at handling the comedic timing necessary in a film such as this. �Wilder came to Hollywood in 1934, after directing his first film, the French film Mauvaise Graine. �He worked on 8 screenplays for �his first career efforts in Hollywood, but was really wanting to direct again. �Producer Arthur Hornblow Jr., agreed to give him that chance with The Major and The Minor. � �The film proved to be a box office hit with audiences of 1942, and if you want to view a delightfully funny, touch of romance movie, then seek out The Major and The Minor. �It is available at Amazon, Turner Classic Movies airs it now and again, and some kind soul put up a video tribute to it on You Tube.

November 11, 2005
Two families are without homes Friday night after a fire destroyed their apartments. But it could have been much worse. North Augusta Public Safety sent out a general alarm, which could have prevented more apartments from going up in flames.
Sherry Chalker was downstairs in apartment 4A when she heard her smoke alarm go off. The fire was upstairs in her daughter's bed. Sherry's mother Teresa Barbee rushed when she got the call.
"As long as they've been out here I don't believe there's anything left," Barbee said.
And while two apartments are destroyed, there was still the task of saving the others
"With the history of this apartment complex and the fire that happened here in the past, we knew we had to get to the fire quick enough," said Detective Tim Thornton, North Augusta Public Safety.
When the call came in, a flashback of a fire years ago prompted dispatch to send a general alarm, calling all firefighters even those who had the day off.
"There's not a firewall to slow the progress of the fire, it's just open and once it gets up in there it's searching for oxygen and works its way out," Thornton said.
The apartments at Plaza Terrace share a common attic, so when the fire breaks through, it spreads placing other apartments in danger.
And that's what happened here at Plaza Terrace in 1997 with fire displacing many renters.
Emily Hain doesn't remember the fire here in 1997, but she tells a similar story.
"It was coming through the roof," Hain said.
"She came inside and said Sissy come out here it's on fire, and grabs the phone," said Ashton Wilson, tenant.
Theresa says her daughter has lost everything.
"She's had to start over so many times," Barbee said.
And while family possessions are ruined, she still has something to be thankful for.
"I just thank the Lord she's alive cause it could have been much worse," Barbee said.
No one was hurt. The cause of the fire is still being investigated.

Marc Cenedella, a New York businessman who started an online job search site and now thinks he should be in the United States Senate, has apologized for all of the misogynist and otherwise stupid posts that were written on a website called "The personal blog of Marc Cenedella."
Cenedella claims that the individual posts on "The personal blog of Marc Cenedella" were written by various contributors, however, so he was merely the publisher of such thinkpieces as "Sexy vs. Skanky," "Dating Advice for Girly Girls," "He Stole My Weed" and "High Quality Dope." And who could forget "A New Holiday for Men"?
In an entry titled "A New Holiday for Men," there was a link to a separate site that designates March 14 as a special occasion on which women are encouraged to offer steak and oral sex "to show your man how much you care for him."

"So, I suppose MySQL's main competitor is Oracle?" is a frequent question I get asked by the press. "Well, we don't really compete heads-on with other databases. We co-exist! Just as an example: Over a third of respondents in an Oracle User Group survey said they also use MySQL", I answer.
The reporter then continues "But everyone has a main competitor. Don't you plan for people to migrate from Oracle to MySQL?". I continue with "Not really. Migrations do happen, but not all that often. MySQL tends to be used in new applications."

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Vail's Heidi Kloser had to pull out of the Olympics after injuring her right leg during a training run before moguls qualifying.
Kloser tore knee ligaments and broke her femur following a crash Thursday night, only moments before she was supposed to head to the starting gate.
Kloser's father, Mike, posting on his Facebook page, said Heidi asked him if he still considered her an Olympian even though she didn't make it to the starting line in her first games.
"We said, of course she is," Mike Kloser wrote.
The 21-year-old Kloser was fourth in the World Cup standings coming into the Olympics.
'Oh, No'
"I saw an American coach quickly put his skis on and rush down and I thought, 'Oh, no, that's Heidi,'" said reigning world champion and defending Olympic gold medalist Hannah Kearney, of Vermont.
Kearney, who qualified first among the 30 women mogul skiers, was told by U.S. coaches that Kloser had injured her knee.
'In Good Hands'
An hour later, Kloser, a 21-year-old first-time Olympian, was getting an MRI and being taken care of by Dr. Tom Hackett, the U.S. Olympic Team's physician and a renowned orthopedic surgeon from Vail's Steadman Clinic.
"She's in good hands right now," said her father. "But she's so sad."
The Kloser clan was gathered at the bottom of the course watching training when Heidi Kloser tumbled. Mike Kloser said the fall — just a couple bumps down from the first jump — did not appear especially traumatic or major.
"It looked like she caught an edge or something. I thought, 'Oh, good, let her get it out of the way now,'" he said.
Comforting Presence
But then she didn't get up. He had to fight with strict security to reach his daughter as medics hauled her off the course.
"We just wanted to comfort her a little bit," he said.
Mike Kloser said his daughter was very excited to compete in the Winter Olympics. She had drawn the first position for the qualifying contest, meaning she would be the first to ski on the course before it was churned by more skis, which can slow skiers.
Skiing At Her Best
She was considered a favorite to medal, especially after her second-place finish in the Lake Placid World Cup last month. She was coming into the Olympics skiing as strong as she ever had.
Although her chances for competing in Saturday's Olympic finals are very slim, Mike said his daughter hopes to walk in the opening ceremony on Friday.
"That's the goal right now," he said.

|Illustration by Caty Bartholomew
I was at a party in Doolin the other night and was hugely enjoying myself through a typical Doolin evening. I was called upon to sing a song and instantly obliged to the limits of my nicotined vocal chords.
The applause had hardly subsided, however, before I was approached by a rather large American man in a green sweater whose gripe with me, strongly expressed, was that I was named MacConnell, and that a clansman of mine named Mitch McConnell had been one of the main instigators of a move which almost brought America's economy to ruins shortly before we met.
The large man said he was a Democrat, that both his parents had been laid off work because of the political ploys of Republicans like John Boehner and McConnell, and that I, as a clansman of the said Mitch McConnell, had ruined his evening and should be thoroughly ashamed of myself and my clan. He was very angry indeed.
In a general kind of way I keep myself abreast of your political developments, and I was aware of the political existence of Senator Mitch McConnell and his Republican Party prominence at present.
I was able to soothe down my angry companion and quickly forgot about the incident altogether because the mighty balladeer Sean Tyrrell stole away the rest of the evening in fine style as usual.
But dammit since then, on three separate occasions in Clare and Galway, I have come under fire from some of our many visiting American friends simply because of my politically hallmarked surname. It is not a good time over here — and probably over there too – to be a member of the MacConnell clan.
I would like to put it on the record here and now that Mitch McConnell from Kentucky is no kinsman or relation of mine. He is not even a remote 33rd cousin. He comes from a different part of the clan entirely and it is here, dear readers, that the letter "a" becomes hugely significant, not just for the McConnells and MacConnells but for many other Mc and Mac clans as well.
This is a fact I have mentioned here before but, given my recent embarrassments must return to again on a point of clarification.
In blunt language the MacConnell clan from Ulster are all Papish, disadvantaged socially and economically, virtually landless throughout all of Ireland, more than a little bit cracked and zany, generally harmless unless with drink taken, small of stature both in physical and social terms, likely to play music and sing and dance for no financial return at the drop of a hat, equally likely to become irritated over tiny issues which would not trouble orthodox citizens at all and, in synopsis, a harmless clan.
The McConnell branch (*and you will please note the dropped "a" here) are a different outfit entirely, and the aforementioned Mitch McConnell is proof of this. All the Irish McConnells, predominantly located along the east coast of the island and originally hailing from Scotland, are wealthy, socially and economically significant, fundamental Christians of one class or another, and the owners of thousands of acres and properties.
They are powerful in business rather than politics in Ireland, are honorable and decent citizens on the conservative side of the scales, and beyond any doubt, would not enjoy the company of the boisterous MacConnell flank of the clan for any length of time.
In my wild youth I kissed a McConnell girl from Cavan one summer night after a carnival dance, and clearly recall to this day how cold and tightly closed her lips were. Small clues are significant.
I looked up some information on Mitch McConnell before writing this and, beyond any doubt, we are not even distantly related.
He is, for example, one of the wealthiest of your politicians, being worth an estimated $45 million at last estimate. That is double and treble the wealth of all the MacConnells lumped together.
There is the ultimate truth and there is more. Mitch is of the Baptist persuasion, and there are no MacConnells that follow that particular spiritual coach. He is also a divorcee, though happily remarried I gather, and there are few MacConnells in that camp too given the Papish backgrounds they share.
Mitch is also, like many McConnells I've met in Ireland down the years, the father of three daughters but no sons at all. The MacConnells predominantly sire sons but the McConnells of Ireland, through whatever genetic device they utilize, create many daughters because, maybe, daughters commonly create lucrative business alliances when they marry.

SANTA CLARA -- There's no question the 49ers are a better team with defensive lineman Justin Smith and outside linebacker Aldon Smith on the field, especially at the same time.
Yet, less playing time for the Smiths this season, as well as other pass-rushers, just might yield more dividends for the 49ers over the course of a long season.
Justin Smith and Aldon Smith were at less than full strength late in the regular season and through the postseason as a result of serious injuries. Added down time has the potential to limit their exposure to injury and keep them fresher for the playoffs.
Hence, the 49ers signed defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey -- he was the fifth overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2008 NFL draft -- and drafted linemen Tank Carradine, Corey Lemonier and Quinton Dial in April.
Veteran defensive tackle Ray McDonald believes the 49ers might be as deep on the defensive line as at any point during his seven seasons.
That should allow others to "take a load off me and Justin," not to mention Aldon Smith, who spends most of his time rushing the passer.
McDonald said the plan calls for him and other starters to play fewer snaps this season, and he doesn't take that as an affront.
"If the young guys can go in there and there's not a drop-off, then I'm all for it."
The maturation of third-year nose tackle Ian Williams gives the 49ers even more reason for optimism that they are in position to overcome the loss of linemen Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean Francois to free agency.
"Nothing against Ike or Ricky, but we feel it's an upgrade," McDonald said of Williams.
A week into training camp, offensive coordinator Greg Roman still is waiting for someone to assert himself.
"Everybody knows there's an opportunity," Roman said. "I don't know that anybody has really pulled himself from the pack just yet."
Anquan Boldin is assured one starting spot. The other is up for grabs as long as Crabtree and Mario Manningham -- recovering from a knee injury -- aren't healthy enough to play.
Quinton Patton, Chad Hall, Marlon Moore, Kyle Williams, Chuck Jacobs, Ricardo Lockette and A.J. Jenkins are among the hopefuls.
"It's a good competition, and it's exciting to watch," Roman said.
Robinson is a six-year veteran, with 167 receptions for 2,110 yards and 15 touchdowns. He appeared in seven games for the Jaguars last season.
Roman offers a simple message for Patton about what to do when a pass is thrown his way: "Just stay away from it. Catch it with your eyes."
Patton still sneaks in the occasional one-handed catch. Roman said he can't recall an injured receiver being as involved in practice as Patton has been of late.
Cornerback Chris Culliver and offensive tackle Carter Bykowski suffered injuries in practice and missed some time.
Culliver one-upped Asomugha by stepping in front of a pass for Moore and intercepting backup quarterback Scott Tolzien.

Roger starts well
Roger opened his bid for a third title in Miami in successful manner, breezing past Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti 6-3, 6-3 in his first match.
"I served well and made a good start on all my service games. I knew I would have chances on his serve and I took them. It's a pleasing performance and a good start."
Roger struggled with his forehand in the beginning, but fought to earn his first break point to advance to 5-3 in the opening set. Both players competed well in the second set, neither able to reach break point until 3-3. Roger struck first, taking a 4-3 lead as Lapentti gave away a backhand error. Roger then went on to complete the match with no trouble as he collected two match points at 5-3. A well-struck, cross-court backhand sealed the win for our champ in 66 minutes.
Roger will meet France's Florent Serra (ATP 61) in the third round of play. The two have never met before on the Tour.
Best wishes for your match tomorrow. You will do well. God's blessings for a successful outcome.
Love you.... Your 'magnetism is something else'... You've got it man!!!
