1. Democamp a blast! Blew their brains to bits: 01:31
I set out to geek the heck out of Toronto's hippest geeks, and I did. I showed them Emacs as they'd never seen it before--and even that was a tiny fraction of my config. Lots of cool stuff behind the scenes, too. When I showed them M-x doctor (the Emacs psychotherapist), someone shouted out, "Is Emacs talking to you?" I laughed and continued. What I *really* should've done was break the sequence of my presentation, hook up the speakers, and tell them about Emacspeak - presentation sequence be darned. ;) Oh, if they only knew how easy it was to make jokes reality under Emacs! I remember writing my 'bot implants' - the hippie-expand code I used to answer questions really really quickly on IRC...
Anyway. That was FUN. And it was relatively easy to get through, especially with the cue system I made (Emacspeak rocks!). I'll talk about that some other time. It's a really cool hack and well worth exploring.
SO. The democamp.ca folks will eventually get around to posting a vidcast. In the meantime, I have a 431MB MPEG movie that I need to either downsample or cut up in order to put online, maybe on YouTube. I don't have enough memory or hard disk space to play around with this (have you seen my computer?!), but I'll happily put the video up if we can figure out how to go about doing that.
If you enjoyed the talk, missed it, or just want to hear/see me bounce up and down about Emacs some more, come to the Linux Caffe on Saturday (Oct 28, 2006) from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. I'll be there, and we might even see about having some kind of mini-show / vidcast. I wonder if David has a projector. =)
That was fun! Can't wait to do it again!

2. Terrible at remembering names?: 01:52
Check out this teacher-oriented article What's Your Name Again? by Mary !McKinney. It starts:
"I'm terrible at names," complained my friend Steve. He's a respected professor of entomology who is fascinated by ugly bugs that make many of us shudder. "Really?" I asked. "How many species of beetles can you identify by name?"

3. Not among strangers: 02:09
It's amazing, looking out over a crowd of some 70 people and realizing that very few of them are strangers. It was my first DemoCamp presentation. I jumped at the opportunity to wear my beautiful white suit (I *love* that outfit!), but neither the suit nor the stage (MaRS is big!) imposed any distance whatsoever. It felt as if I was sitting around a table with good friends who indulged me by listening to an enthusiastic demonstration of my latest cool hacks.
It helped that there was a low table that I could put my computer on so that I could do my demo without hiding behind the podium. (I hate podiums and other things that stand between me and the rest of the people!) The microphones were good, too. I left the podium microphones in place, and my natural presenting voice was strong enough to get picked up without effort. And of course, a warmed-up sympathetic crowd was just *wonderful* to work with... =)
I can't wait to work on a few more things. A lower voice might be easier to listen to, as long as I can still keep my warmth and humour. A slightly higher table would've been nice. More structure for the hacks, maybe a clearer message? But it was a fun presentation, and I'm glad I got the chance to show people something crazy and fun.
I'd like to refine this presentation even further. I have an important message I want to share with as many geeks as possible. I want people to push the boundaries, to imagine what's possible when software can be customized to that extent. Maybe the benefits will trickle down to everyone else, the way wild ideas in research prototypes can be taken into the mainstream...

5. 10 rules for staying young: 11:30
Via Quinn, who got it from Richard, who got it from Dave Pollard, George Carlin's 10 rules for Staying Young:
- Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them".
- Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
- Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop". And the devil's name is Alzheimer.
- Enjoy the simple things.
- Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
- The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourself. Be alive while you are alive.
- Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
- Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
- Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but not to where the guilt is.
- Tell show the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

6. Postfix TLS problems: 20:45
It looks like my mail authentication has very quietly broken behind the scenes. I've been using SSH tunnel to get out to another host, and then TLS to authenticate against Jijo's mail server.
I think TLS is no longer doing its job, which is why Jijo's mail server is now rejecting all my mail. How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Hmm. HANG ON A SEC. This is dodgy.
telnet localhost 10025 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 pd7mf1no.prod.shaw.ca -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-2.05 (built Apr 28 2005)) HELO sachachua.com
That's not the server I'm looking for! The port is supposed to be forwarding to mail.hosting.qsr.com.ph. I think Shaw may have just started transparently fiddling with its SMTP out.
That's not good. I don't know if I can find another way out, as I think Grad House or the university blocks port 25 out...
7. I rock! Mail back online: 22:14
Stymied by the sudden breakage in my mail setup, I racked my brain for another way to get to the mail server in order to deliver my mail. None of the shell accounts I had on other systems were active, and none of the people I pinged were online.
I remembered that /etc/services was a list of well-known ports. If mail.hosting.qsr.com.ph was listening on another standard port, that would be a good place to find it. Searching this file for "smtp" turned up port 25 (smtp) and port 465 (smtp over SSL).
A quick check confirmed that port 465 was accessible from my computer even without tunneling.
All I had to do, then, was set up my mail system to use the new port.
I tried putting the port in directly. I also tried playing around with the configuration, but I couldn't find a clear tutorial.
I found stunnel along the way. Stunnel is a generic SSL tunnel for any network service, and it was really easy to set up. Here's my /etc/init.d/stunnel-mail based on http://www.technovelty.org/linux/tips/exim4ssmtp.html :
#!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting ssmtp tunnel " start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/stunnel -- -c -d ssmtp -r mail.hosting.qsr.com.ph:ssmtp echo "stunnel." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping ssmtp tunnel " start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry 2 --exec /usr/sbin/stunnel echo "stunnel." ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/ssmtp-tunnel {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" exit 1 esac
Then it was just a matter of adding new entries to my sasl_passwd file and regenerating the map.
Nothing like a good problem solved!
Random Emacs symbol: visible-frame-list - Function: Return a list of all frames now "visible" (being updated).
8. Whoops, a little too hasty with the rm there: 22:47
I accidentally deleted the second half of my workshop recording. Which is a pity, as it turns out you can get a fair bit of quality out of a plain recording.
Wow. The first one's not bad at all.
Random Emacs symbol: dump-emacs - Function: Dump current state of Emacs into executable file FILENAME.
9. mencoder rocks for editing movies: 23:20
I used my Sony Cybershot digital camera to take a video of my presentation at Democamp last night. The file weighed in at 400+ MB! After a bit of trial and error, I figured out how to use mencoder to crop to just me bouncing up and down and talking excitedly about Emacs. =) Here's the incantation I'm currently using:
mencoder -ss 111 -vf crop=275:300 mov07578.mpg \ -of mpeg -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -o emacs.mpg
I might need to tweak it a bit more. Still, mencoder is fun!

The Oakland Athletics, who play in East Oakland at the O.co Coliseum, had their throwback event in a game against the Seattle Mariners. The A's turned back the clock to the 1950s, "for an afternoon of '50s fun" that promised to pay tribute to the music and entertainment of the era.
The A's wore the uniforms of their Pacific Coast League predecessors - the Oakland Oaks - and gave away dark blue, 1955-style Oaks caps, emblazoned with a white, red-trimmed "O."
1955 was a great year for rock 'n' roll, with Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," Little Richard's "Tutti-Frutti," and Little Walter's "My Babe" on top of the charts. It was also the year the Philadelphia Athletics moved to Kansas City, where they played for the next 12 years before moving to Oakland.
The San Francisco Giants had their own throwback game against the Chicago Cubs at AT&T Park. The Giants "turned back the clock" 100 years and wore 1912-style uniforms featuring the old "NY" logos from when they were the New York Giants. The teams' starting lineups for the game were announced by megaphone. And organ music filled the air, instead of the usual ear-grinding digital cacophony of dance music that blares from the ubiquitous loudspeakers.
The Giants even turned off the video on their humongous multimedia scoreboard, and employed a barbershop quartet to serenade the masses.
You might think the Giants would go ahead and roll back the clock to 1912 for something that mattered, like ticket prices, for example. They've pretty much sold out every game at AT&T Park (not to mention selling out on the naming rights) since the yard opened in 2000.
Don't you think the Giants might want to give back a little something to the people who pay same of the highest ticket prices in the country, just to come to the park and play with their smart phones? Uh, nah.
Good the Giants didn't really turn back the clock. Most of the players and probably many of the fans wouldn't have been allowed to be at the game. That's one little detail the Giants overlooked: Major League Baseball's pre-1947 "color bar," the quaint euphemism for overt, intolerant, institutional racism. MLB didn't allow black players until around the middle of the last century, when Jackie Robinson was allowed to integrate the sport.
Of course, it wasn't really a "color" bar. You could be brown-skinned - the effect of a nice suntan, perhaps. You just couldn't be black. No matter what shade or color your skin might actually be.
Don't tell the Giants, but everything was not hunky-dory in 1912. According to statistics from the Archives at Tuskegee Institute, there were 64 people were lynched in 1912, all but two of them black. Hate to think of what might have happened to Pablo Sandoval - the Giants' lovable "Kung Fu Panda" who was accused of sexual assault- although no charges were filed- if he had been around in 1912.
Although baseball no longer excluded black players by the 1950s - when Oakland's minor-league Oaks team played in Emeryville - the game still had a race problem, like America in general. The Athletics left Kansas City for Oakland in 1968, and had finished in first place in their division five years in a row by 1975, when 27% of baseball's rosters were African-American, according to an article by Bob Nightengale in the USA TODAY. By 2012, wrote Nightengale, the number of black players had tumbled to just 8.05%. Does the game still have a race problem?
Jemile Weeks, the Oakland A's starting second baseman, has a grandfather who had played in the Negro Leagues, where talented black professionals were allowed - or obliged - to play before MLB unlocked its gates. "He's a real inspiration to me," Weeks said of his grandfather to ESPN.com. "Just having that in your background, and understanding and listening to the stories, it inspires you even more."
Should the Giants have made some effort - any effort - to recognize or acknowledge that their game didn't even allow black players in 1912? Not to mention acknowledging black fans, who probably would have had to sit in some "colored only" section of the park if they were allowed to attend at all.
Today there's more of an economic segregation going on in professional sports. You won't go to the game if you can't afford the price of admission. For their 1950s throwback game, the A's offered discounted plaza outfield tickets for $5 and field level seats for $19.55. But the Giants' website shows that the price of a left-field bleacher seat for their turn-back-the-century game was $54. Yes, fifty-four dollars. For a bleacher seat. And the price for a club-level outfield seat was $111. And don't even think about getting a lousy beer unless you've got $10 on you.
If it was a "color bar" in 1912, it's a "money bar" in 2012. Either way, it ensures that a lot of certain types of people won't be seen at the old ball game. Say what you will about the A's and their supposedly run-down ball park and their desire to get out of Oakland. At least they bothered to give fans a break on ticket prices for their turn-back-the-clock game.

I've posted before about how NuGlow's Stretch Mark Cream is the perfect baby shower gift, and today, I'm going to talk about swimsuit season and stretch marks.
Well, stretch marks are stretch marks, whether you got them from pregnancy or dieting – either way, we want to get rid of them, don't we!
NuGlow's Stretch Mark Cream is what you need.
With NuGlow's Stretch Mark Cream, you'll see definite visible results in as little as two weeks. The longer you use it, the better your skin will look!
Stretch marks come in both red and silverish, and NuGlow will get rid of them both, all the while nourishing and nurturing your skin with our scientifically proven copper peptides. Remember, Nuglow products don't just smear on the top of your skin; NuGlow products penetrate deep down inside your skin, healing and helping all the way through.
NuGlow Stretch Mark Cream is non-greasy; don't worry about staining your new summer swimsuit.
And speaking of that new summer swimsuit. . . . most of us are dieting right now so we'll feel more confident at the beach or poolside, and dieting often brings out those stretch marks. Start applying the Stretch Mark Cream at the beginning of the diet, and your skin will benefit greatly from the start of your dieting regimen and you'll have a head start on obliterating those stretch marks.

Ear Infection Health Center
Understanding Ear Infections: Diagnosis and Treatment
In this article
Medicine for Ear Infections continued...
But many doctors, particularly in the U.S., are concerned that without antibiotics, bacteria lurking inside the middle ear can grow out of control, possibly causing hearing loss or mastoiditis. After all, they point out, these complications have become rare, largely as a result of antibiotic therapy. To be on the safe side, many American doctors treat all ear infections as if bacteria are present.
Amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for treating bacterial ear infections. The drug is highly effective: A single course of amoxicillin can usually knock out an ear infection in seven to 10 days, at little cost.
However, some types of bacteria have grown resistant to amoxicillin; critics of heavy antibiotic use in the U.S. point out that the millions of prescriptions of amoxicillin for ear infections that were not bacterial in origin helped to create these resistant bacterial strains.
Whatever their origin, amoxicillin-resistant bacteria have shown up in a number of communities, leading many doctors to prescribe other antibiotics for ear infections. Some of these substitutes, which tend to be more expensive than amoxicillin, are taken from a class of medications called cephalosporins. Others are combination drugs -- amoxicillin and clavulanate, for instance. For those allergic to amoxicillin, doctors may prescribe sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, or azithromycin.
If an ear infection causes serious complications or if fluid remains in the ear for more than three months, physicians may suggest myringotomy with PE (pressure equalizing) tube insertion surgery to eliminate infection or drain the middle ear. Because not enough air is coming through the Eustachian tube to ventilate and dry out the middle ear, a little tube, less than half an inch long, is placed into the ear drum. The tube, which will usually fall out on its own in about a year, keeps a hole open in the eardrum so that air can get into the middle ear space and dry it out. A ventilation tube reduces pain, improves hearing, and cuts down on the number of infections your child may have.
This procedure rarely leads to infection or scarring and usually provides long-term results. If after the tubes come out the ear infections return, it means your child hasn't outgrown the problem and a second set of tubes may be recommended. This time, an adenoidectomy -- surgery to remove the adenoids -- will also be suggested in an attempt to unblock the Eustachian tube as much as possible, and to avoid inserting a third set of tubes.
Tonsillectomy is generally not considered helpful for recurrent ear infections and is not usually recommended.

Can Soaps or Detergents Aggravate Eczema or a Rash?
There are many types of eczema. Atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, allergic contact eczema, etc. The signs and symptoms of eczema vary depending on the type of eczema. The skin can be red, itchy, appear as scaly patches on the body, or patches of skin may be crusted, scaling, and very itchy.

OAKLAND -- The A's will begin the second half of the season without their outfield at full strength.
Right fielder Jose Reddick remains on the disabled list (strained right knee) through at least the weekend and center fielder Coco Crisp, while in the lineup against the Orioles, is on day-to-day status because of neck pain.
Crisp missed the last four days before the All-Star break while dealing with neck pain and started just 10 of the A's 17 games leading up to the All-Star break.
He was able to get rest during the break, but it seems that wasn't enough to rid him of the problem entirely, so manager Bob Melvin will be cautious.
"He's a little better," Melvin said of Crisp on Friday. "But he's still day to day. He feels pretty good today.''
Reddick will play minor league games through Sunday, then the A's will see where he stands. He's been on the disabled list since June 29 and is eligible to be activated as soon as his health permits.
Other injured players include infielder Alberto Callaspo, who still hasn't resumed regular workouts since going on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain July 12, and first baseman Kyle Blanks, who has been battling a left calf strain since June 23.
Blanks said he started running in the outfield Monday, adding that the calf was much better and that he hoped to be able to go on an injury rehabilitation assignment within a week or so.
Andy Parrino, called up just before the break, was the starter at second Friday after having had two hits and a walk in a start the day before the All-Star break.
"It doesn't mean that (Sogard) is completely out of the mix," Melvin said. "When you are not in the lineup, it's tough to get rolling without the at-bats you need.''
Sogard, who hit .266 with 35 RBIs while providing the A's with good defense at second base in 2013, came into the break with a .186 average and nine RBIs.
The third baseman reacted strongly to being tagged out between second and third by the A's Josh Donaldson, and before the weekend was over, benches had cleared, pitchers were throwing at hitters, ejections abounded and baseball became an afterthought.
Machado said he would not be surprised at some adverse fan reaction from the Coliseum crowd, but Melvin said "it was six weeks ago, and it's water under the bridge."

Children Eliminate One Hour of Leisure From A Working Parent's Day
Any parent with a screaming toddler can tell you life is less relaxing with children. The Labor Department can tell you how much less, to the minute.
On an average day last year, an employed adult with no children enjoyed 4.5 hours of leisure activities per day — 65 minutes more than a worker living with a child under 6, the Labor Department said Wednesday.
But don't worry, most of us get a break. The annual government survey found 95% of Americans engage in some sort of leisure activity each day. The most popular pursuit? Watching television.
Americans 15 or older, on average, spend 2.77 hours per day watching TV, ranking only behind sleeping and working. But average time in front of the tube did decline—by 3.6 minutes–last year.
The figures come from the American Time Use Survey, an annual survey that breaks down how Americans, on average, spend their day.
The survey found Americans are working less than they did a decade ago. But they're also spending less time e-mailing, talking on the phone or sending postal mail. All of that was only nine minutes a day last year, down two minutes from 2003.
That seems at odds with a society where people are virtually—and physically—attached to their smart phones. Multitasking could be to blame. The Labor Department asks participants only for their "primary" activity. So checking e-mail in line at the grocery store (while sipping a latte, perusing "Star," and searching for your bonus card) only counts as time spent shopping.
Other findings include:
- The amount of time all Americans spent working fell by three minutes per day, to 3.14 hours last year. Employed persons worked an average of 7.6 hours on the days they did work in 2013.
- On days they worked, men spent an average of 53 minutes more on the job than women, partially reflecting the higher likelihood for women to work part-time, the Labor Department said.
- In households with children under 6, women spent an hour a day providing physical care, while men spent 26 minutes.
- Adults age 75 or older enjoyed the most leisure time of any age group—7.5 hours per day.
- Teenagers between 15 and 19 years old spent an average of four minutes per weekend day reading and 52 minutes per day playing video games or otherwise using a computer for leisure.
- Americans between 65 and 74 years old last year spent more than 30 minutes a day using a computer "for leisure," the category that includes tweeting and playing video games. On weekdays, that's more than any demographic group older than 24. Americans between 25 and 64 only spend about 20 minutes a day playing on a computer. Those older than 75? An average of 25 minutes a day.
- Squash anyone? The amount of time Americans spend participating in sports, exercise and recreation increases with their paychecks. Americans earning $1,341 or more a week, about $70,000 a year, spend an average of 30 minutes each weekend day on sports and recreation. That's 12 minutes more than those earning less than $521 a week, or about $27,000 a year.
- Men are more likely to cook than clean. On an average day, 42% of men participated in food preparation, but only 19% did housework such as dusting or laundry. Women apparently picked up the slack, with 68% preparing food and 49% engaging in housework on a typical day.

The Donald Takes a Flier on Boeing, A 'Great Company'
Donald Trump blasted out a tweet this afternoon that caught our attention. (No, we're not referring to the Deadspin/Te'o Twitterstorm).
Instead, the real-estate mogul said he purchased shares of Boeing, taking advantage of the recent drop due to many of the technical issues regarding the company's line of 787-Dreamliners.
Here's the tweet:
.@boeing stock went way down because of 787- so I just bought stock in @boeing- great company!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 17, 2013
While the Donald is taking a flier on the stock, analysts continue to recommend investors tread cautiously around Boeing.
"The argument that the 787′s problems of late are nothing more than 'teething pains' received another major setback last night with the FAA's issuance of an emergency directive grounding all US-based 787s," Carter Leake, an analyst at BB&T, wrote to clients, while downgrading the stock to underweight from neutral.
"While it is entirely possible that the current battery issue is resolved in short order, it is also equally possible that the 787s current certification could be called into question. It is the extremes of potential outcomes along with the lack of any clarity as to the timing, cost and impact of any eventual fix that has us lowering our rating," Leake says.
Shares rose 1.2% to $75.26 in the final trading hour. While the stock is roughly flat in 2013, it has chopped around in volatile fashion following several technical issues regarding its 787-Dreamliner franchise.
For what it's worth, a quick Googlech of Trump shows he's no stranger to Boeing. In February 2011, he purchased a Boeing 757 airplane reportedly for $100 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The plane is twice as big as his other Boeing 727 that he already owned at that time.
You want to really put your money where your mouth is, Trump? Don't just buy some Boeing stock. Buy a Dreamliner.

Special needs player has a night to remember
Teams allow Bowman to score in closing minutes
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 8:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 8:29 p.m.
In last week's first round of the high school football state playoffs, Mount Airy defeated Central Academy 47-14, but in the closing minutes, the losing team did something that made headlines. The NCHSAA posted the story from The Charlotte Observer on its website. The following is an excerpt from the story:
Towards the end of Mount Airy's 47-14 playoff win over Monroe's Central Academy, Mount Airy put in a special needs player, Austin Bowman.
Bowman had run the ball at the end of some games but had never scored. Mount Airy was near the Central goal line and Central coach Tad Baucom, who knew of Bowman's story, had an idea. He wanted Bowman to score.
Baucom was out of timeouts but asked the refs to stop the game to coordinate a treat for Bowman. Baucom consulted Mount Airy coach Kelly Holder and then he consulted his defense.
Everybody was in agreement to make a very special moment happen.
On the next play, Central's players dove out of the way and let Bowman finish his three-carry, 38-yard night with a 16-yard touchdown run. You should've seen Bowman's face
And after the game, the teams met and prayed at midfield and Bowman got the game ball.
"'There is a buzz in our school that hasn't left us yet," Baucom said. "This may be the best loss that any of us have ever experienced. I know it is in my 32 years of coaching."

There's no getting around James Joyce or his defining legacy, but equally there's no question that a new generation of Irish writers are stepping out of his long shadow.
It took some doing. In the decades after Joyce Irish novelists used to moan about his ubiquity the way other Irish poets once complained about Yeats.
But 100 years has passed since the first publication of Dubliners, enough time for even the Irish to chart new courses.
That realization has encouraged independent Irish publishers Tramp Press and editor Thomas Morris to come up a lively suggestion, an anthology of all 15 of Joyce's stories re-written (or completely changed) by some of Ireland's most accomplished contemporary writers.
Novelist Belinda McKeon, 34, was tasked with re-writing Joyce's Counterparts, a short, sharp shock of a story with a shattering ending. What McKeon does with her re-imagining merits a book of its own. McKeon has crafted an acidly funny portrait of a brilliant but flinty young woman on the verge of a self-created career crisis, in a story that is by turns acidly funny and gasp inducing.
But how do you climb out from under the great man's shadow? Or is that even an issue in 2014? Does she have to break up all that frozen adoration that attends his work to write this? Or was it no bother?
"I don't know if I have a frozen adoration of Joyce, actually," McKeon tells the Irish Voice. "Which is not to say I don't marvel at his work – I do – but every new story owes a debt of one kind of another to an old story, consciously or unconsciously, so in a sense this invitation, from the editor of Dubliners 100, was not hugely different to the starting-point of any new piece of fiction."
When Dubliners 100 editor Morris made it clear to her that once each author had selected their story they'd have free rein to do whatever they liked stylistically and thematically, she was intrigued.
"In other words, Joyce or no Joyce, we all had to write new stories, and I can't speak for the other writers, but for me the demand of a new story itself, as it comes into being, is much greater than any demands exerted by the circumstances under which it has been commissioned," McKeon said.
"Once you get down to work, it's the story itself, the story you're writing, which begins to exert pressure on you. You have to work to find its language and to find its form, because only from those things can you discover what the story is."
But Dubliners isn't just a book. It's become a cultural artifact, a high water mark in the history of world literature. So how does an editor convince you a re-write and re-imagining is worth doing?
"Again, but in a different sense this time, the story decided. Tom Morris gave me my choice of the stories and I decided, after thinking over it for a few days, to go with Counterparts," McKeon said.
Joyce's story is so powerful in that it takes on the exact cadence of compulsion and of self-sabotage. The protagonist is an alcoholic office clerk who can't fight the urge for a drink and for company, and who discovers, inevitably, that neither of these things can satisfy him.
"Reading the story induces, at least for me, a sensation of claustrophobia and dawning panic – the crammed scenes of tense and desperate encounters, the jittering of Farrington's internal monologue as he tries to bargain with himself and with the world from minute to minute – and Joyce achieves this through a brilliantly tight – indeed merciless – use of free indirect speech – 'Blast it! He couldn't finish it in time' -- and a slamming down of livid dialogue.
"There's a masterful, more apparently languid central scene, where Farrington and his friends go on a pub-crawl around Dublin city center, and there's the closing scene in which Farrington takes his anger out on his young son, and that's a deeply unsettling moment, but it's unsettling because you realize that the relative comedy and farce of the whole story, a story of selfishness and frustration, has been building up to this very stark, lonely moment.
"I didn't know, when I took it on, whether any story I would write would want to riff off or pay homage to those elements – again, I had to let the new story find its own shape – but I was very, very drawn to Joyce's Counterparts, to its darkness and its bluntness, and to the seam of pathetic comedy running through its shabby tweeds."
McKeon retained the elements that appeared in the original story and reworked them – office politics, petty functionaries, thinly-veiled fury, the abuse of a child, the lack of self-consciousness – and also updated the tech.
"I had an image of a character sitting in front of a computer screen, locked into social media the way it's so easy to get locked in, slumped and already deadened – and, yes, paralyzed – before the day had even begun – seeming weary already of the way, to steal a line from Joyce's Portrait," she says.

What is the treatment for uveitis?
Because uveitis is an inflammatory condition, the urgent treatment centers on control of the inflammation. This can be achieved with steroids given as eye drops, injection in or around the eye, orally (by mouth), or intravenously, depending on the extent and severity of the inflammation.
In certain situations, alternatives to steroids (such as indomethacin, methotrexate, and others) may be used.
The duration of the treatment may be as short as a week or several months or even years, depending on the cause.
If the cause is infectious, an anti-infective medication will also be used (for example antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal) to combat the underlying infectious agent.
What is the prognosis for uveitis?
The prognosis varies tremendously: some types are mild and occur only once, never to recur again. Others recur repeatedly over the years, coming and going at seemingly random and unpredictable intervals. Still other types never completely subside and linger for years, requiring chronic treatment to prevent flare-ups.
What are the complications of uveitis?
Uveitis has many potentially serious complications that can lead to permanent, irreversible vision loss. For this reason, it is imperative that uveitis be treated rapidly and to the best extent possible.
If the inflammation continues unchecked, complications may include sudden or chronic rises in eye pressure that can lead to permanent damage of the optic nerves, resulting in irreversible vision loss (glaucoma). The inflammation can also damage delicate cells on the cornea and retina, causing fluid buildup that blurs and damages the vision, sometimes irreversibly.
For these reasons, uveitis should ideally be treated as aggressively as possible. The medications used to treat uveitis have side effects of their own, some of them serious. The ophthalmologist, often together with the patient's other doctor(s), balances the risks and benefits of the drug(s) against the potential damage that can result from undertreated uveitis.

Like much of Haye's second album, The Roads Don't Love You, 'Undercover' is bland and distinctly average. The sense of intimacy, and indeed the delicate nature of Haye's songwriting, which made Night On My Side so special is lost amid the bigger production. Often 'Undercover' sounds dead and lifeless; Hayes' vocals, less subtle than before, lack honesty, with the previous sexiness to her phrasing now sounding forced. Dull.

In a slightly unfathomable move, the lead single from Hayes's second album makes its appearance a couple of weeks after that record's release, by which point it will have become clear that the singer has managed to sidestep that difficult second album problem with aplomb. All of which leaves 'Happy Sad' a bit redundant and most probably with little chance of troubling the upper reaches of the charts. Record company tactics aside, though, this is a lovely, warm and fuzzy song that moves the Hayes sound forward, if not in giant leaps.

Top that all off with brilliant graphics and excellent sound and you have a state of the art game.
Xbox 360
Let me start off by saying this is one of the most exciting FTS shooter games I have ever played. I have been playing Halo games since the beginning of time and was overjoyed when this game was released. In fact I called in sick to work that day…lol. Not to mention I would have to question your loyalty to Halo if you didn't get the Collectors Edition. This game is really the best of the series and I will show you why in this review.
First, they totally revamped the whole menu system which was much needed. Why is this so great? Well for starters you can display your friends that are playing Reach, and also you can keep track of them for good old fashion party games. Honestly, starting or entering a different gaming mode is easy as hitting a couple buttons (not to mention your friends can come with you every place you want to go).
In the campaign mode everyone knows that they storyline are truly epic and Halo Reach is by far the best. You can play by yourself or with up to four players, and this time you are the newest member/members of the Noble team. In your first challenge you are to seek out and discover a "distress signal" in a mountainous region. Like any other Halo game a full out war erupts between alien invaders. You will have to fend for yourself with a ton of FTS tactics. This is by far the best Halo game you will ever play!
I don't really want to ruin the story or anything, but it will start out a little slow, but each level will really build onto the next, you will be on the edge of your seat by the time the final level has unfolded, though. Just when you get comfortable in a rocky environment the level will change into a military outpost or even a rural farm. You will even be able to enjoy the all new vehicles (which actually handle quite well).
So as far as replayability goes, Reach wrote the book on this in my opinion. You can play multiple levels with friends online/offline and customize the attributes of the weapons, shields, and strength of gravity, of course the difficulty level, as well. Hell, you can even play in user generated matches online which are even more customizable. Don't forget about the competitive matchmaking system, which makes the online play freaken awesome. Also, the online mode comes with a new and improved voting system where you can actually play a more non-biased match.
I really could go on and on about how good this game is but you probably don't want to hear me blow my load about how great this game actually is. Top that all off with brilliant graphics and excellent sound and you have a state of the art game. Honestly is there anyone here at RAG that doesn't like this game The collectors edition comes with a nice box, stickers and awesome booklet in which the standard edition does not come with though. It is a must for any true Halo fan, buy, this game and I will beat you online. Lol

My maternal grandmother said something to the effect of: "It's okay if you're smart, but don't let him know it". Followed a few minutes later by "You should wear shorter skirts and show off your legs if you want to get a good man. Most smart women don't have nice legs like yours".

I think you need to respect each other. And when you are married (especially with kids), you need to plan time together, otherwise you will never get to spend quality time together.
And if you are one to "always be right," suck it up and admit you are wrong sometimes.

If you really love him, a lot of this can come naturally but at times you may have to remind yourself of these things. They're just as important to him as it is for you to feel appreciated and have your feelings considered and respected. If you want to get him back, you'll have to analyze yourself and your relationship and take these into consideration. If your relationship is to work, this has to be a part of it. At the core, it's fairly simple and keeping a man happy in a relationship doesn't have to be difficult...most of us are pretty forgiving too, so getting a second chance doesn't have to prove difficult either.
Magic Of Making Up

Director Joe Wright's new film, an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, mixes the illusions of the stage with realities off the stage, and inadvertently provides a lesson for renovators and decorators.
For those who haven't seen the film, the narrative shifts between what's happening in a theatre to the same thing in a realistic context such as a house interior or a natural setting. The point is to communicate that people play roles in life. We're all onstage. Calamity befalls the heroine, Anna, when she confuses appearance and reality, and this can happen to anyone.
What's this got to do with design? Many homeowners don't understand that a house isn't a stage set, art-directed to promote their status and good taste. But just as many people make the opposite (and usually more appalling) mistake, assuming that their guests want a dose of reality when they cross that doorstep.
It's easy to appreciate why too much artifice at home isn't a good thing. It's phony and impersonal, no matter how chic it is. We've all been in perfect houses that look either like the showroom at Pottery Barn or a space within a trendy boutique hotel. You can see that the homeowner liked the look of a highly staged space and thought, "Why not make my house look like this?!" - and then was dumb enough to do it.
Often decorators bully insecure clients into accepting the idea that their existing furniture and furnishings have to be disposed of to make way for new stuff (which the decorator wants to sell them). Even well-meaning designers can go too far; rather than take the time to educate a client (which can be a challenge when that client is too busy making money or being fabulous to find the time to learn), they make all the design decisions on behalf of the homeowner. As with people, the artificial is more palatable if nicely contrived, but that doesn't make it right or, more to the point, human.
The absolute worst in the contrived-decorating category occurs when a decorator tries to create a personal ambience with things that should have meaning and be special, but by its very process renders it the opposite. It's not so bad if the decorator picks out the curtains or sofa, but when he buys the art or arranges the family photographs, it's gone too far. Never let yourself say, "I could move right in and not change a thing."
But the authentic must have its limitations, too. Some people believe in being themselves to the point of not tidying up before guests arrive. Make the bed? Why bother, no one is going in the bedroom. Wash the dishes in the sink or make the big effort to put them in the dishwasher? "I don't think so," these people might say. "Our friends can take us the way we are." The looks seen in such magazines as the World of Interiors may be shabby chic, but they're sanitary. Think seriously on it: Even the picturesque clutter that might look good in a magazine can be an abomination to spend time in - especially for those who are visitors to that space.
Guests to your home shouldn't feel like they're dealing with a reality TV show. There's nothing wrong with colours being co-ordinated, there's no sin in having seating that is comfortable and arranged so it makes conversation pleasant, and no harm in spending money on beautiful things that, in general, will give you and your guests pleasure.
We all like people who make an effort for us. But shouldn't we make our own place look nice because of our own sense of self-worth? However, if you don't care, then even just for the sake of visitors, learn to fake it.
Take a good look around your living room and think: "If this were a movie set, what movie would it be?" Perhaps you'll find that it's time to rewrite the script.

|Long road trips (and any significant drive) can be tough for little ones used to moving all day! Refocus their energy by playing "What Am I?" Each person takes a turn describing an animal (or insect or object) without naming it. Younger children may need some help giving a description that will allow the players to guess correctly. Ask questions like "Where does it live?" "What does it eat?" and "Is it big or small?" to build vocabulary and communication skills. Set a theme, if you wish, such as "Things we see on the highway" or "Things we'll see and do when we get there." You'll be amazed how much faster the miles zip by when everyone's engaged!

As politicians in Washington, D.C., trade proposals - and barbs - over Friday's deadline to avoid the $85 billion in budget cuts of the so-called sequester, local officials are trying to get a grasp of what the impact could be and when it might be felt.
Money to provide meals to seniors and help people find jobs and get training to make them more employable could be cut sooner than later, while Head Start funding in Washington County appears safe at least through the end of the current school year.
If and when the latter cuts do happen, it's still not clear what it would mean to local families, said David Brightbill, executive director of Washington-Morgan Community Action, which administers Head Start and other federally funded programs.

Marietta Times
"It's impossible for us to tell which pot of money we're going to be funded out of," he said.
Statewide, Head Start and Early Head Start services could be eliminated for approximately 2,500 children, according to a White House fact sheet released this week, breaking down the impact of the sequester on a state-by-state basis. That would be part of the nationwide cuts that could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections, slash domestic and defense spending and lead to forced unpaid days off for hundreds of thousands of workers.
The sequester was designed as an unpalatable fallback, meant to take effect only if a congressional super-committee failed to come up with at least $1 trillion in savings from benefit programs. President Barack Obama wants to replace the sequester with a package of targeted cuts and tax increases, while Republican leaders insist the savings should come from reduced spending alone.
Fact Box
Potential impact
Where the sequester cuts could be felt locally:
- Schools - Primary and secondary education funding stands to be cut by approximately $25.1 million in Ohio, along with a $22 million reduction in aid for children with disabilities. That is not expected to happen until the 2013-14 school year; local impact is unknown.
- Head Start and Early Head Start - Services would be eliminated for approximately 2,500 children in Ohio. The local impact is unknown at this time, but would likely not be seen until September at the earliest.
- Job assistance - Funding for job search and employment training for seniors and other adults in general could be reduced.
- Airport - The Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport near Williamstown is on a list of 200 facilities that could lose their air-traffic control tower as a result of the sequester. That wouldn't shut the airport down, but it would affect safety.
- Child care - Up to 800 disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Ohio could lose access to child care. Regional officials are still awaiting details.
- WIC - Approximately 600,000 women and children would be dropped from the Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) from March through September. Washington-Morgan Community Action says local funding is set by contract through Sept. 30.
- Wayne National Forest - The U.S. Forest Service anticipates reduced recreation and other operations during peak usage season in spring and summer due to a reduction in jobs. No specifics for the national forest that covers a portion of Washington County.
Source: White House.
Locally, the most immediate impact might be seen in a reduction of between 5 and 5.4 percent from a portion of the approximately $800,000 allocated to Washington, Morgan, Monroe and Noble counties for job search and employment training assistance, said Kathy Lott-Gramkow, director of employment and training for Community Action. When the cuts happen depend on what course of action the U.S. Department of Labor selects.
Lott-Gramkow said that reduction would probably affect the amount of aid available to each person rather than the number of people assisted. And there could be further cuts coming in July.
The sequester was pushed back a couple of months when a deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" was reached in January.
"We've been a little more conservative with that since the end of the year" knowing the sequester could still happen, Lott-Gramkow said.
Carrie McNamee, director of senior and community services for Community Action, said funding for the organization's programs that provided 50,000-plus meals for senior citizens at designated sites or delivered to their homes in 2012 could be cut by more than $10,000.
"What that means is less people are going to be served and the waiting list is going to get longer," she said, adding there are already more than 100 on the waiting list for Meals on Wheels now.
"I wouldn't think it would take very long" for the funding cuts to begin, McNamee said.
The reductions in service would first be made through attrition; when someone goes off the program, they would not be replaced, she said.
A reduction in the number of people served could translate to an increase in need from organizations like food pantries or Washington County Harvest of Hope, which works to redirect food that would otherwise be wasted to organizations that distribute food to those in need.
"When you increase giving to more people, you have to increase your food intake," said Karen Kumpf, founder and executive director of Harvest of Hope.
Kumpf said the poor are at the most risk because of the sequester.
"Unfortunately, the people that stand to lose the most are the people that are being funded by government programs," she said. "They have the smallest voice when it comes to most government action."
Brightbill said Washington and Morgan counties' Head Start and Early Head Start programs - which use federal funds to provide early learning opportunities to children in families at or below 100 percent or so of the federal poverty level - are under contract through the end of March and have funding in place to get them through the spring.
"We won't really feel it until next September," he said.
Reno resident Dustin Richards, 26, will be watching those developments closely. Both his children are in Head Start, and his son's experience in Early Head Start not only prompted him to enroll his daughter but also led Richards to apply to work for the program.
"Not only can it affect my children, but it can also affect my job," said Richards, a home-based visitor with Early Head Start.
Before his daughter was enrolled, Richards said he was spending about $100 a week on child care, along with diapers and other supplies to be used while she was being watched. Early Head Start covers all that at no charge, and Richards wondered how much the government would really be saving if that option wasn't available.
Some people who aren't making much money anyway could decide it isn't worth it to work and pay for child care, Richards said. If they stop working, they would probably soon be seeking public assistance.
"Either way it's going to cost the government money," he said.
Aside from that, the program is beneficial to his children, Richards said.
"It's sad that they want to cut the budget for something so significant," he said.
Local schools aren't expecting any changes to their federal funds in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. But administrators will be watching to see what happens in fiscal year 2014.
The White House fact sheet says Ohio stands to lose $25.1 million in primary and secondary education funding, which would put about 350 teacher and aide jobs at risk and result in approximately 34,000 fewer students being served and around 100 fewer schools getting funding. Money for students with disabilities would drop by approximately $22 million, affecting an estimated 270 teachers, aides and staff who work with those children.
But how that would translate to the local level remains largely unknown.
"These monies currently allow Warren and Fort Frye both to provide targeted intervention to students with the greatest needs," said Melcie Wells, treasurer for the Fort Frye and Warren Local school districts, in an email Tuesday. "Any reduction in these funds would require the district to either come up with these monies from the general fund or reduce services when allowed by law."
Washington County Career Center Superintendent Dennis Blatt said the sequester would affect federal Perkins funding for career and technical education. That's a source that has already been reduced in recent years.
"Obviously we don't need a reduction, but it wouldn't be a drastic reduction," Blatt said.
The career center currently is receiving $256,516 this fiscal year for adult and secondary students, Treasurer Joe Crone said.
The White House fact sheet warns the sequester would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reduce funding for grants that support firefighter positions and state and local emergency management personnel. But Jeff Lauer, Washington County EMA director, said he's received no communication from state officials about any impending cuts.
"My office is funded by a 50 percent grant from the feds," he said.
Marietta Fire Chief C.W. Durham said the most obvious effect on his department that he can foresee is a smaller pot to be divided among grant applicants seeking funding for upgraded equipment.
The fact sheet also mentions cuts on the national level to mental health and related services. But David Browne, executive director of the Washington County Behavioral Health Board, said he hasn't been warned of any looming funding reductions for the already strapped local system.
"If we were expecting a cut, I'm sure I would have heard about it and I've not heard a single word," he said.

The second you figure out that you like a guy, ask him to hang in a way that's more date-y than what you'd typically do with a friend. Think: Dinner at a cool restaurant vs. going to a game together. Shy people tend to slowly get to know the other person, even if the attraction is instant, but this is exactly how people get stuck in the Friend Zone.
A lot of us are big on self-deprecating humor, saying things like, "I'm such a dork!" But this usually leads to friendship, not romance. If you want a guy to see you a certain way, don't put yourself downeven if you're just joking.

A well-made biopic!Irfan Khan delivers a Paan-tastic performance. The rusty valleys of Chambal produce 'baaghis' and not 'Daakus'. Daakus exist in our parliament, says Paan Singh. Troubled by his relatives over farmland and denied justice and insulted by the cops, the national steeplechase champion and army man is forced to take up arms and form a gang to extract revenge. He cannot resume a normal life later and refuses to surrender to the police. He is a victim of circumstances.

Incredibleu r going to remember this movie for long. trust me. Especially those who are civil services aspirants, its a must watch for them. Irfan Khan has proved that he can make the audience seated for 2 and half hours on his own. There are no songs (thankfully), nor any super heroes, but there are for sure ACTORS. Leave the other actors only Irfan Khan is enough for the movie. Some particular scenes are great, especially the one where irfan makes an inspector apologise to his uniform.

PAAN SINGH TOMAR… A GREAT BIOPIC. GIVE US MORE LIKE THESE BOLLYWOOD!An athlete turning into a rebel is itself an astounding fact. Paan SinghTomar (Irrfan) an army soldier plunges into the sports while in the army. He runs and leaves everyone spellbound by his endurance. On insistence of his coach, he trains hard for the steeplechase category. After he strikes gold there is no looking back. He keeps the foot moving till his hair turn white.

Amazing Movie!There are anyways very few biographies being made in India and this one if of a person who actually should have been a national hero but ends up a dacoit! And then you add the flavor of the amazing acting of Irrfan. Nawazzuddin is great too! Totally recommended!

Apple Stock Set to Slide
Shares in Apple tumbled in Frankfurt Thursday, before steadying at the lower levels reached, suggesting they'll fall sharply when trading opens on Nasdaq. By late morning in Europe they were quoted at 354.08 euros, down 7.7%, after opening 9% lower.
Now, the stock is expected to drop by more than 8% to around $470 when business begins in the U.S., according to several traders in London monitoring pre-market trading. That's just above the $464.09 reached in after-hours U.S. trading Wednesday, when investors wiped nearly $47 billion from the company's stock-market value.
The weakness in the technology company's stock is a response to Apple's earnings report for the three months that ended late December, released after Wednesday's U.S. close. The company managed to beat the consensus earnings-per-share forecast, said Deutsche Bank in a note to clients, but revenue fell short of market expectations.
"More importantly, forward-looking revenue and gross-margin guidance also came in light relative to street estimates, " the bank's analysts said, adding that Apple's shares have lost a third of their value from the peak reached in September last year.
"With so many uncertainties, now supported by falling consensus estimates, we believe investors will continue to focus on risks in the Apple story, limiting share appreciation," said analysts at Citigroup in a research note. "We stand by our recent downgrade and continue to rate the shares Neutral. On lower estimates, our price target falls to $500 from $575," they added.
If Apple's stock slides in the U.S., as expected, that could lead to a flat opening for the market as a whole, despite a positive reaction to the news that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed the bill to suspend the debt ceiling through May 19.
Ahead of the open, Alpari (U.K.) expects to see the Standard & Poor's 500 index down two points and the Nasdaq down 31 points, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 12 points.

Traditionally viewed as a primarily Western disease, diabetes is becoming a global threat. While dramatic improvements in emerging economies such as China and India are facilitating middle-class expansion and increasing disposable income, they are also fueling the rapid rise of obesity and, consequently, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in these regions. The combined Indian and Chinese diabetic population of over 75 million in 2010 is expected to approach a daunting 120 million by 2025.
Maintaining tight glycemic control is paramount in reducing the risk for long-term complications from diabetes. Patients have several therapeutic options to help maintain healthy glucose levels, insulin is perhaps the most effective option and has been shown to help preserve the viability of insulin-producing, pancreatic b-cells, which weaken and lose functionality over the course of the disease.
Nevertheless, while physicians recognize the benefits of earlier insulin therapy—improved patient outcomes and managed costs—the early administration of insulin for T2DM faces considerable hurdles, including patient resistance to injections and the risk of hypoglycemia with overdose.
We believe that the following factors will facilitate the earlier adoption of insulin in treating T2DM, disrupting the current diabetes treatment paradigm:

Local pawn shop owner charged with possessing stolen goods
Published: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 1:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 1:23 p.m.
A local pawn shop owner was charged with possessing stolen goods Thursday after officers found a slew of items stolen from local businesses during a search of Daily Dollar Pawn in Fletcher.
During the search, investigators with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office Property Crimes Unit found the shop had purchased approximately $10,076 worth of merchandise stolen from Diamond Brand Outfitters in Fletcher.
Detectives learned that "a subject from the Asheville area" had sold the items to Daily Dollar Pawn at 58 Heritage Park Drive between Nov. 5 and Jan. 18 for $1,783.30, according to a release from the Sheriff's Office.
Investigators charged Daily Dollar Pawn owner Robert "Bobby" Dean Hylemon, 33 with seven felony counts of possessing stolen goods. "Hylemon turned himself in later the same day at the Sheriff's Office and posted a $7,000 bond," the release stated.
"In an ongoing effort to regulate and ensure rule compliance with state and local ordinances pertaining to the operation of pawn shops in Henderson County, detectives … executed a search warrant at Daily Dollar Pawn," according to the release. "They were searching for stolen property and precious metals permit violations."
The release also stated that the stolen items were photographed and posted on EBay under the name of "coldandfury."
"The photographs included the price tags and displayed the name of the business where the items were stolen from," according to the release. "In addition to the stolen property from Diamond Brand Outdoors, other items, including power tools, were discovered during the search that were stolen from local home improvement centers. The investigation is continuing and other charges are probable."
Correction: An earlier version of this story reported that Hylemon lived at 11 Apple Blossom Lane. The Henderson County Sheriff's Office said that the address they shared with the media was later found to be incorrect Thursday morning. The story has been updated and edited to reflect those changes.
