Linux Distributions Compared
The first commercial distribution to adopt an upgradable packaging scheme, Red Hat's 2.1 release includes a single-command upgrade facility. A single script was included to do the upgrade from Red Hat 2.0 or 2.0Beta to 2.1, and it worked very well. At the end of the upgrade, it notifies the user which configuration files have been changed and the names of the files where the originals have been saved.
Unfortunately, going from version 2.0 to 2.1, it replaced the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files (among others) with new ones that had new administrative users, but didn't include any users that had been added to the system since the original install of Red Hat 2.0. No tool was provided to merge the old and new password files, either. Fortunately, Red Hat considers this a bug and will fix it in future releases. It is also fortunate that the previous versions were preserved—Red Hat's RPM tool always makes a backup when changing configuration files—and the upgrade script warned about the change, making it a simple matter to move the original versions back into place.
With this small, easily-fixed exception, the Red Hat upgrade process ran smoothly and took only a few minutes to upgrade a rather fully configured system to the latest version of Red Hat with proper configuration files in place. Red Hat has plans to improve the upgrading process so that it is even smoother for more people; in nearly all cases in the future, a single command should be entirely sufficient.
In general, Red Hat provides a reasonably wide range of applications on multiple architectures. In December 1995, at DECUS/San Francisco, Red Hat announced Red Hat Linux for Alpha, which runs on several different Digital Alpha systems. Red Hat's packaging scheme is designed to support multiple architectures transparently, including building packages, and Red Hat has announced that they are considering other architectures as well.
Red Hat includes a graphical package management tool, as well as a command-line tool. However, their assumption is that people who don't want or need to edit configuration files directly will configure and use X, and their configuration tools are almost entirely X-based.
Red Hat provides your choice of graphical and text-based installations, and can install from CD-ROM, NFS, floppy, or FTP. The floppy and FTP installations only work in text-based mode at the moment. The installation asks as many questions as necessary immediately and then installs all the applications, not requiring user interaction again until after all the packages have been installed.
Red Hat provides their own easy-to-use X configuration program called the Xconfigurator. It uses dialog boxes that ask fairly easy questions to write an XF86Config file to configure X.
The URL for Red Hat's home page is www.redhat.com.
This veteran descendent of the original Linux distribution, SLS, is still easy to install, if you don't mind tending it while it asks questions. It has wide support for installation from different media—it even has experimental support for installing from tape drives—and it still has the best support for installing from floppies. It also has a very wide selection of available software. If you want to use TeX to typeset Klingon or Tengwar, it's built in; just make the right selections while installing. Slackware has a long history and has a rich assortment of packages. Most of the 1000-page tomes covering Linux which are available in any bookstore cover Slackware, so it is also well-documented.
However, Slackware has no real upgradability. To upgrade a package (which is simply a .tar.gz file), you can only remove the old package and install the new one. For a technically advanced user who remembers all the configuration files for the package, who knows exactly what files to back up before doing an upgrade process, and has time to do so, that works, except when the user makes mistakes.
Slackware uses the standard XFree86 xf86config program to configure X, which is not particularly user-friendly, though very thorough. Once you get X running, however, you can take advantage of Slackware's fairly wide variety of X applications.
If you don't mind re-installing regularly to upgrade and demand very fine-grained control over exactly which files get installed, Slackware provides some of the most precise controls over what gets installed and what does not. For instance, if hard drive space is limited, and you want to install only the TeX fonts you want, most of them are selected separately. Thai fonts, OCR fonts, and Gothic German fonts are perhaps not likely to be used by the same people; Slackware allows you to select each of those families (and many more) separately. If you want as many packages as possible provided with the distribution, you will appreciate Slackware's wide range of available software. We counted 326 packages in Slackware 3.0.
Slackware's Web site is at www.cdrom.com/titles/slackware.html.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Meaney, so often a supporting player, on taking lead in Stephen Frears' "The Snapper": "In terms of having to be the lead in a picture, I'm glad it was a sort of nice, small, offbeat piece, with a genius director. I'm not great on responsibility. I remember when I did a play in New York: Michael Gough, the English actor, talked about the joys of being a supporting actor. You don't have the awful responsibility of sink or swim on you. And you get to play all these marvelously different and bizarre characters." --quoted in THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 21, 1993
"I don't understand this need Americans have to label everything. I guess I understand it from a marketing point of view, but for an actor, it's all kind of maddening.

Hello my pretties.
So, the last few days in the Bookish Household have been filled with vomit. Not by me or by Rob. But by just about everyone else.
See this sweet face
She is evil, pure evil. She swiped a bag of chocolate chips (actually a half of a bag of the really big wholesale bags) AND a bag of sugar and consumed them on Thursday afternoon.
Action: Evil dog eats chocolate (which is lethal to some dogs),
Reaction: Dog pukes up a storm,
Reaction: Robby gets to clean it up.
Reaction: Dog meet vet, vet meet dog, Bookish Family meet poverty.
Three hours and $200 later (Merry Christmas Honey!) the dog has a stomach filled with charcoal (which apparently acts to slow the absorption of the lethal chemical) and is resting uncomfortably in the back of our vehicle as we race against time in fear of her barfing it all up again. Apparently this charcoal is tricky stuff as it stains like a mofo, as in, won't ever come out stains. We're, oh maybe, 2 miles from our house and this Evil Dog empties $200 worth of a vet visit onto our backseat where it will stay ingrained in our memory and our upholstery forever.
A half hour later I am picked up by Jackie and whisked away to YarnPants heaven. Others tell the story here and here. I too got a shirt (the one with the flying Dot, I love it!). I won't be able to wear until next year but Smarty has (*finally*) been put into service.
Friday comes with new challenges. Rob returns home again to see that the Evil DOGS – yes this character has entered the fray –
have consumed an entire loaf of bread, a box of cereal, AND rolls of toilet paper! These previously docile and obedient dogs are climbing onto COUNTERS and TABLES to retrieve these treats. We soon discover that the cats seem to have gotten some action two because there is cat vomit all over our office – THE ONLY ROOM IN THE HOUSE WITH CARPET!
Feel. My. Pain. in the ass. I can't bend over so much. I am sore from cleaning out the car the night before. We have about an hour before our favorite 20 month old, N, comes over for a slumber party (her first one, we are honored, thrilled, and justcan'twait).
Miraculously we get things in order before the sweet girl arrives. Sharp objects are stored, knitting is hidden, and all loose hand guns are put away. (N's a grabby little girl.)
We eat, we build forts, we read books, we laugh. Bedtime comes and we slowly brush our teeth (read: play in the bathroom sink), change our diaper, and start to get ready for bed. I am with N helping her dress into her PJ's when she turns into a veritable fountain of half digested stomach contents. Not wanting to move her for fear of spreading the molten lava I speak calmly and let her know she's alright and that I'm alright and that she should most certainly just let it happen ALL OVER ME, as I am sitting at her feet holding her. She is scared (to the best of her memory it's the first time she's ever gotten sick) and the dogs are interested and Rob is AVOIDING THE ROOM.
Mount Vesuvius stops and I am able to get her into her extra pair of PJs and I hand her to Rob who reads her stories in the other room while I clean up. I check on them later and N is happy and chatty and fine. No fever. Nothing. Rob questions the return policy on the pregnancy prodigy. I laugh. Oh, how only the fool laughs.
N goes to sleep. One hour later the volcano erupts again.
Rinse Repeat.
Rinse Repeat.
Rinse Repeat.
Rinse Repeat.
When all is said and done we have each gone through 4 pairs of PJ's (I stopped changing at some point) and countless towels and blankets. It's midnight when her parents come to get her (they, bless them, were out of touch for AN HOUR, is this what it is to have children?!). The poor thing is sick and exhausted and done. with. us. In fact, at one point during the night she would only go to Rob. She must have been convinced that I was the cause of her misery. I began to think I was.
We are still trying to figure out the meaning of all this. The many vomits we have known. And really, what is the return policy on babies and dogs and cats? Can we send ours back? Maybe just for a few years. Until the world finds a cure for vomit?
In the end, N is fine. She has contracted the Norovirus and (thankfully) we did not get it. This is in spite of me finishing all of her half eaten pizza bits during our dinner earlier in the night. (What? She was done, I was hungry, I'm eating for two over here!) Her parents were not as lucky. They both got it. They, obviously, know nothing of this return policy

Bought this for over my bed at recommendation of decorator friend. Pleased with the quality and price. Delivery was in a timely manner.
Very nice looks, great above bed
We really like the tree art but it isn't made very well, to start with the holes for hanging were on the bottom side of the main center piece. We had to get the drill out and re-drill new holes. We put the new holes on the top edge, made it easier to line up.
It it a lovely picture & true to life. Exactly what I was looking for.
This tree brought life to my living room, a perfect piece above my sofa! Coordinates well with the bird cage purchase as well... well packaged and super fast shipping!!!
This tree looks beautiful on my wall. It adds such beauty to my room.

CINCINNATI — First Student has added 41 new buses to its Springfield, Mass., fleet to transport students in the Springfield School District.
Thomas Built Buses manufactured 28 of the buses. Officials said that the Saf-T-Liner buses are newly designed with a focus on added safety and comfort, as well as cleaner emissions, and that the enlarged front window offers drivers greater visibility.
In addition, the buses boast a footprint of near-zero nitrogen oxide emissions.

Read an Excerpt
"Sip it and dream—it is a dream itself. Sip it and say there is no solace for the soul, no tonic for the body like old Bourbon whiskey."
—J. Soule Smith's "Ode to the Mint Julep," written in the 1890s
[VR did you query this by any chance?]
Bourbon is truly an American spirit. Only in the limestone rock formations of central Kentucky and north-central Tennessee can the water be thus flavored: As it filters through the stone, it grabs just the right chemical balance to make the distillers' yeast robust and vibrant, which produces the dark-honey-golden fluid. Nirvana. Bourbon, named for Kentucky's old Bourbon County, and its close cousin Tennessee whiskey are related to the whiskey-making business in Ireland and Scotland only by generalities. Corn is the grain of choice for American whiskey, from which either a mash or a sour mash is made to kick off fermentation. But that color and smoky-sweet nose with hints of vanilla, caramel, and clove come from freshly charred white oak barrels and the length of time they are allowed to hold the liquor. In Tennessee, the whiskey takes one more step with a charcoal filtration, which some lovers[AU word choice? Admirers?] of a man named Jack Daniel or George Dickel believe smoothes out the flavor.
Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey have strolled out of their Southern heritage and left their spiritual homes of Louisville, Bardstown, and Lynchburg to be enjoyed throughout the country. Like another Southern export, NASCAR, bourbon is exploding in consumption and demand. From New York City's hottest bars and restaurants to the hip Mission District of San Francisco is heard the lament "We can't keep bourbon in stock." Also heard: "Our bourbon cocktail sales are up 30 percent." With the reserve, small-batch, and single-barrel bourbons now becoming "top-shelf," there is even more interest in bourbon.
Other factors have also created this demand, according to bartenders around the country—the trend back to classic cocktails and bourbon's appeal with American foods. Barbecue (the noun), one of America's biggest food fascinations, is hard to pair with wine, but the smoky sweetness of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey play on the palate in an enriching way that blends with rather than disturbs the food's essence. A little bourbon and ginger ale sit communally with fried chicken, too. America's newfound interest in Southern foods makes bourbon and Tennessee whiskey the perfect before, during, and after mealtime beverage. America's "native whiskey" seems to prepare your taste buds for big flavors. It is an outstanding pre-dinner quaff, even when followed by wine.
And can you even imagine listening to the blues with Scotch or vodka? America's signature music certainly deserves America's signature spirit.
Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey have even transcended the borders of our country. In 2007 America's spirits exports topped one billion dollars, almost all of that bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. You can easily find Jack Daniel's and Maker's Mark in the grocery stores of Italy. They covet Jack Daniel's in Japan, and it is a welcome gift when doing business there, as I discovered a few years ago while on a consulting job in Tokyo. More than 100 countries import American whiskey, including Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Japan. China, Vietnam, Brazil, and the old Eastern Bloc countries are new, fast-growing markets for our whiskey.
With small-batch and single-barrel varieties and the almost cult status of some bourbons, the legend continues to grow. Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey are American stories and spirits that deserve their place on the top shelf of our drinking repertoire.

Halmi to remain CEO; debt load to be cut in half
Robert Halmi's RHI Entertainment has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a pre-packaged reorganization plan that is expected to be completed by the first quarter.
The filing had been expected, as RHI has been laden with $600 million in debt since the Halmi clan reacquired the RHI production and distribution operation from Hallmark Entertainment in 2006.
The plan, approved by an overwhelming majority of its lenders, calls for RHI to slash its debt by about $309 million while paying off key creditors, including the major talent guilds.
After the reorg Robert Halmi Jr. and his father Robert Halmi Sr. will continue to own about 15% of the company, with lenders taking over the rest of the equity. Robert Halmi Jr. will remain CEO. At present, the bulk of RHI is owned by private investment firm Kelso & Co.
With the filing, RHI will have access to a $15 million revolving credit facility from JP Morgan Chase Bank and other banks to fund immediate needs and the bankruptcy costs. After the reorg is complete, RHI expects to be able to tap into a $25 million revolving credit facility.
Robert Halmi Jr. emphasized that the company will be in business-as-usual mode during and after the bankruptcy process.
RHI recently completed production on four telepics for Hallmark Channel and two for Syfy, and it is in production now on three $20 million miniseries: "Neverland" and "Treasure Island" for Syfy and "Blackout" for Hallmark.
"At some point early next year, we'll be out of (bankruptcy) and stronger than ever with a much healthier balance sheet," Halmi said.

Erie police look for possible connection in two bank robberies
Erie police said they were looking at a possible connection in a pair of bank robberies that took place within five hours of each other Thursday.
Undisclosed sums of cash were stolen in robberies at Erie Bank, West 10th and Peach streets, shortly after 9 a.m.; and at First National Bank, 1424 E. Grandview Blvd., shortly after 2 p.m.
No weapons were shown in either robbery. The robber of the Erie Bank branch indicated that he had a weapon, but did not display one, police said.
The robber passed a note at the First National Bank, according to dispatch reports.
Police said similar descriptions of the robbers in both heists has them exploring the possibility that the same man committed both crimes.
The man who robbed the Erie Bank branch was described as a white male, 30 to 40 years old, who was clean-shaven and about 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was wearing a dark-colored coat with a hood, and was last seen fleeing east on West 10th Street, police said.
The First National Bank robber was described as a white male in his 30s, 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 7 inches tall and with a brown beard. He was wearing a dark green sweatshirt, and was last seen fleeing north on Davison Avenue, police said.
Two hours after the Erie Bank robbery, and three hours before the First National Bank robbery, police in Conneaut, Ohio, said a man walked into a Huntington National Bank branch at 328 Main St. and robbed it of an undisclosed sum of cash.
No one was injured in the robbery, and no weapon was shown, Conneaut police said.
The robber was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, who had a scruffy beard, glasses and "very obvious" blue eyes, police said. He was wearing a black, medium-length leather jacket, a green polo shirt, black jeans and a black Pittsburgh Pirates hat with a yellow "P" embroidered on it.
The three robberies occurred as authorities in Chautauqua County continued their investigations into a pair of bank robberies that occurred Monday.
The first happened at the First Niagara Bank branch at 417 Spring St. in Jamestown, N.Y., shortly after noon. Police said the robber passed a note demanding cash to a teller before fleeing with an undisclosed sum of cash.
The robber was described as a white male, 25 to 30 years old, who was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 160 pounds. He had light brown hair with a reddish-blond goatee and was wearing glasses, a black leather jacket, black pants, a green button-up shirt and a black Pittsburgh Pirates hat, Jamestown police said.
A robber of a similar description robbed the Jamestown Savings Bank at 210 W. Main St. in Falconer, N.Y., at about 2:15 p.m. Monday, authorities said.
Investigators in those cases said Tuesday that they are working with the FBI and other agencies to determine whether their suspect might be a serial bank robber who has committed robberies all over New York state.
Erie's bank robberies Thursday were the first to occur in the city since Sept. 10, when a man robbed the Huntington National Bank branch at 2185 W. 12th St.
The FBI later charged Michael E. Brewster, 54, of Florida, with committing the robbery. Brewster is also a suspect in the robbery of banks in eight other states, although he has been charged only with robbing the Erie bank.
Another Erie bank robbery, which occurred at the Northwest Savings Bank branch at 1328 E. Grandview Blvd. on Feb. 13, remains unsolved.

By Pete V. Domenici and Alice M. Rivlin
Wednesday, November 17, 2010;
This morning, a bipartisan task force that we co-chair unveils a bold, comprehensive plan to dramatically reduce America's deficits and debt and strengthen our economy, enabling the nation to reclaim its future. We urge the nation's leaders to seriously consider it.
The strong economy that has made the United States the world's leading power is gravely threatened. Federal debt will soar in the coming years under current policies, endangering our prosperity and our leadership. The national debt will overtake the economy itself, increasing our dependence on China and other foreign lenders, draining our resources and reducing our living standards. This risks economic crisis and threatens to turn America into a second-rate power.
But this dire scenario is not inevitable. We can restrain the debt, rebuild our economy, restore our independence and ensure that America remains a world leader. Restraining the debt can give us a leaner, more-effective government, a more efficient health system and a far simpler tax system more favorable to economic growth. Moreover, we can put the budget on a sustainable path without threatening the fragile recovery.
Our plan shows that a group of Democrats and Republicans (including 19 former White House and Cabinet officials; former Senate and House members; former governors and mayors; and business, labor and other leaders) can craft a viable blueprint to tackle the nation's most serious long-term economic challenges.
Here are the highlights:
To ensure a more robust recovery, we propose a one-year "payroll tax holiday" for 2011, suspending Social Security payroll taxes for employers and employees. We also would phase in the steps to reduce deficits and debt gradually beginning in 2012, so the economy will be strong enough to absorb them.
We would stabilize the debt held by the public at less than 60 percent of gross domestic product, an internationally recognized standard; reduce annual deficits to manageable levels; and balance the "primary" budget (everything other than interest payments) by 2014.
We would dramatically simplify the tax system, establishing individual tax rates of 15 and 27 percent (from the current high of 35), cutting the corporate tax rate to 27 percent (from 35 today), ending most deductions and credits while simplifying the rest, and ensuring that nearly 90 million households no longer have to file returns. To reduce the debt, we would supplement our spending cuts with a 6.5 percent "debt-reduction sales tax."
We would strengthen Social Security so it can pay benefits for the next 75 years by gradually raising the amount of wages subject to payroll taxes; slightly reducing the growth in benefits for the top 25 percent of beneficiaries; raising the minimum benefit for long-term, low-wage workers; indexing benefits to life expectancy; and changing the calculation of cost-of-living adjustments to better reflect inflation. We would not raise the age at which senior citizens can begin receiving benefits.
We would control health-care costs - the biggest driver of long-term deficits - by reforming Medicare and Medicaid while, starting in 2018, capping and then phasing out the tax exclusion for employer-provided health care. We would reform medical malpractice laws and help address the health costs tied to rising obesity by imposing a tax on high-calorie sodas.
We would freeze domestic discretionary spending for four years and defense spending for five, both at 2011 levels, and then limit their future growth to the rate of growth in the economy.
Finally, we would cap domestic and defense discretionary spending (with tight exceptions for true emergencies) and trigger across-the-board cuts if the caps are breached; enact a strict pay-as-you-go statutory rule for tax cuts or expansions of entitlements; and enact long-term budgets for major entitlements while creating a Fiscal Accountability Commission that would recommend policy changes every five years if entitlements are exceeding their budgets.
Many on the left and right will attack pieces of our plan, just as they attacked the recent proposal from the co-chairs of President Obama's fiscal commission. Indeed, some members of our group question elements of our proposal while supporting the comprehensive package as a whole.
But the status quo is not an option, and everyone must sacrifice a little in the common interest. Our economic security and our future prosperity depend on living within our means.
Bipartisan cooperation can provide a path to a stronger, more prosperous America.
Pete V. Domenici, a Republican from New Mexico, was chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Alice Rivlin was the founding director of the Congressional Budget Office and a director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Clinton administration. They co-chair the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force.

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article

Nick Cave to bring decades of music, literary history to Milwaukee Theatre
Few rockers have married the literary and the musical as powerfully as Nick Cave, who put St. John of the Cross and Johnny Thunders in the same verse of a song and sounded completely natural doing so.
Cave visits the Milwaukee Theatre for an 8 p.m. concert Friday with decades of music to draw from, much of it compellingly dark, such as his 1996 collection "Murder Ballads." If the Misfit in Flannery O'Connor's story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" had formed a band, I'm sure it would have sounded something like Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. »Read Full Article(1)
Milwaukee soul band Brothers by Choice is back at it

But it proved challenging keeping a 10-piece band together, and Kings has been inactive for a couple years. »Read Full Article(2)

For Present Music season finale, no place like 'Home Place'
Present Music, which has performed all over town and played music in coffee shops and a drained swimming pool, is staging Saturday's season finale, "Home Place," in the Broadway Theatre Center, its own administrative home.
Touching, sometimes lightly, on themes of home, shelter and belonging, "Home Place" will feature a bulked-up Present Music ensemble — 17 musicians and 3 sopranos — performing "Shelter," a collaborative composition by Bang on a Can composers David Lang, Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon, and librettist Deborah Artman. »Read Full Article
New Present Music season includes all-Kamran Ince program

The act of farting into one's "cupped" hand, then ushering the captured fart into an unsuspecting victims face, thus causing him to inhale your butt fumes. Optimal conditions occur when victims mouth is open.
John was doing his math homework when suddenly he was inhaling fart from the butter cup Tom had just unleashed on him.

A beautiful girl whose body is perfect in every way except she has a flat chest. Everything on her body is immaculate "but her cup" size.

Famous Short Hope Poems. Short Hope Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Hope short poems
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
Hope it was that tutored me,
And Love that taught me more;
And now I learn at Sorrow's knee
The self-same lore.
Oh, is it, then, Utopian
To hope that I may meet a man
Who'll not relate, in accents suave,
The tales of girls he used to have?
I am Night: I bring again
Hope of pleasure, rest from pain:
Thoughts unsaid 'twixt Life and Death
My fruitful silence quickeneth.
Should Heaven send me any son,
I hope he's not like Tennyson.
I'd rather have him play a fiddle
Than rise and bow and speak an idyll.
Somewhat, to hope for,
Be it ne'er so far
Is Capital against Despair --
Somewhat, to suffer,
Be it ne'er so keen --
If terminable, may be borne.
One half Milord, one half in trade,
One half a sage, one half a dunce,
One half a crook, but here for once
There's every hope he'll make the grade.
I wasted life in hope, yet gathered not
In all my life of happiness one jot;
Now my fear is that life may not endure.
Till I have taken vengeance on my lot!
There was an old person of Bow,Whom nobody happened to know;So they gave him some soap, and said coldly, "We hopeYou will go back directly to Bow!"
O thou who hast done ill, and ill alone,
And thinkest to find mercy at the throne,
Hope not for mercy! for good left undone
Cannot be done, nor evil done undone!
I close the door of hope in my own face,
Nor sue for favours from good men, or base;
I have but ONE to lend a helping hand,
He knows, as well as I, my sorry case.
My true condition I may thus explain
In two short verses which the whole contain:
«From love to Thee I now lay down my life,
In hope Thy love will raise me up again.»
The fruit of certitude he cannot pluck,
The path that leads thereto who never struck,
Nor ever shook the bough with strenuous hand;
To-day is lost; hope for to-morrow's luck.
Here in this tavern haunt I make my lair,
Pawning for wine, heart, soul, and all I wear,
Without a hope of bliss, or fear of bale,
Rapt above water, earth, and fire, and air.
SHINES the last age the next with hope is seen
To-day slinks poorly off unmarked between:
Future or Past no richer secret folds
O friendless Present! than thy bosom holds.
Could Hope inspect her Basis
Her Craft were done --
Has a fictitious Charter
Or it has none --
Balked in the vastest instance
But to renew --
Felled by but one assassin --
Prosperity --
Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher
Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter,
So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
Singing about her head, as she rode by.
Hope is a strange invention --
A Patent of the Heart --
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out --
Of this electric Adjunct
Not anything is known
But its unique momentum
Embellish all we own --
NOW, dearest comrade, lift me to your face,
We must separate awhile—Here! take from my lips this kiss.
Whoever you are, I give it especially to you;
So long!—And I hope we shall meet again.
The way Hope builds his House
It is not with a sill --
Nor Rafter -- has that Edifice
But only Pinnacle --
Abode in as supreme
This superficies
As if it were of Ledges smit
Or mortised with the Laws --
I am worthy neither of Hell nor a celestial abode; God
knows from what clay he has moulded me. Heretical as
a dervish and foul as a lost woman, I have neither
wealth, nor fortune, nor hope of Paradise.
Strike, churl; hurl, cheerless wind, then; heltering hail
May's beauty massacre and wisp?d wild clouds grow
Out on the giant air; tell Summer No,
Bid joy back, have at the harvest, keep Hope pale.
You smiled, you spoke, and I believed,
By every word and smile deceived.
Another man would hope no more;
Nor hope I what I hoped before:
But let not this last wish be vain;
Deceive, deceive me once again!
The Service without Hope --
Is tenderest, I think --
Because 'tis unsustained
By stint -- Rewarded Work --
Has impetus of Gain --
And impetus of Goal --
There is no Diligence like that
That knows not an Until --

Based on true events, Sugar is the story of a young girl with a troubled past trying to survive on the streets of Venice Beach. Sugar suffers from PTSD after losing her entire family in a horrific car crash. She survives with her group of outcast friends on the streets of Venice Beach trying to find their own place in the world. Like so many homeless youth, Sugar is running from the pain of her past and will do anything to escape it. However with the help of Bishop, her counselor in the youth shelter, she is able to reconnect with her uncle who has been searching for her. Sugar's new world starts to crumble when forced to confront the demons she's run from for the last two years. Sugar is an all too common story of a troubled youth learning how to stop hiding, and to start healing. We take a realistic look at what forces so many of our youth onto the streets and what they go through to survive. It is not a story of redemption, it is a story of reality. (c) Official Site

Chris is a heavyset teenager whom may have inherited some of his fathers dim-bulbed genes. Meg is a teenager too. Rejected by her peers and at times by her own family, Meg is an outcast who is desperate to seek attention and affection from someone other than Neil Goldman, her nerdy admirer. Stewie is a brilliant talking baby hell-bent on killing his mother, Lois. And we can't forget about the family dog, Brian. He too can talk.
Together, along with the Griffin's neighbors and Peter's friends Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland, including sub-characters to join the jamboree, Family Guy is an animated animal house sure to tickle your funny bone down to the core. "He-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he!"

How I Met Your Mother
The woman of his dreams is out there – the question is, who is she?? Told in a series of flashbacks, "How I Met Your Mother" is the hilariously unpredictable story of how twenty-something Ted meets his soul mate and says goodbye to the singles' world of pick-up lines, one night stands and relationship "deal-breakers." Things have a funny way of working out in this delightfully fresh and fast-paced comedy.
Monk is a detective afraid of the dark, a gumshoe afraid of gum. He has no problem cracking a case - as long as it doesn't involve heights or germs, and is in close proximity to his apartment. Other than solving his wife's murder, Monk would like nothing more than to gain back his position on the San Francisco police force, but can he pull himself together and get back to solving crimes full time?
Doctors labor to save lives in the emergency room of a Chicago hospital.
