|Issue with null MIME type for attachments
|Sun, 25 Jan 2009 16:41:43 GMT
I am running couchdb SVN r736610 under Ubuntu Hardy (but with Erlang 12B3 packages from Intrepid) After deploying sofa (git id 5222915fded972ddc55058c3fd97fa2bca366499) using couchapp (gem 0.1.4), I notice that one of the attachments to _design/sofa has a null content_type: "_attachments": { ... "to_couch.rb": { "stub": true, "content_type": null, "length": 1460 }, And if I try to retrieve this using HTTP, I get an error: $ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/blogdb/_design/sofa/to_couch.rb {"error":"error","reason":"badarg"} Retrieving other attachments with non-null content types works fine. Is it expected behaviour that a client app can upload an attachment in such a way that it cannot be downloaded again? I think the server should either fail the upload, or default the MIME type to application/octet-stream. I see that couchapp is mapping MIME types via a Ruby hash: "content_type" => MIMES[path.split('.').last] and since .rb is not known it is setting it to nil, which ends up as null in the JSON. The problem can be replicated easily without sofa/couchapp as follows: $ curl -d '{"_attachments":{"foo.bin":{"content_type":null,"data":"aGVsbG8="}}}' http://127.0.0.1:5984/test_suite_db {"ok":true,"id":"d166ec286f8fb05279e7770c225a610f","rev":"1376559224"} $ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/test_suite_db/d166ec286f8fb05279e7770c225a610f {"_id":"d166ec286f8fb05279e7770c225a610f","_rev":"1376559224","_attachments":{"foo.bin":{"stub":true,"content_type":null,"length":5}}} $ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/test_suite_db/d166ec286f8fb05279e7770c225a610f/foo.bin {"error":"error","reason":"badarg"} Regards, Brian.

Michael Currie TV Shows
In the ranks of prime-time dramas, this was one of the biggest. Dallas , the saga of the Ewing Family, began as a five part mini-series in 1978. Throughout its thirteen seasons, many actors passed through the gates of Southfork. In the late 1960's, Peyton Place was a nighttime serial drama success-a novelty at the time. But since then, no P.M. show had caught the soap opera crowd's attention… until Dallas . The show first went on the air for a five week run in early 1978, and then fell into a Saturday nighttime slot later that year. Ratings were fair, but they were nothing compared to when the show moved to Friday nights, when the ratings well didn't run dry for a long, long time. The Ewing family lived at the sprawling South Fork ranch, in hoity-toity Braddock County just outside Dallas. Like any good power family, there was a matriarch and patriarch, and three sons- this core group, their extensive romantic relations, and the Barnes clan of rival oilers were all Jacobs needed to create a self-contained histrionic world of intrigue, dysfunction and passion. Borrowing from Romeo and Juliet, the youngest Ewing boy, Bobby, fell for a beautiful Barnes girl. And with a nod to the biblical Cain and Abel, Bobby and older brother J.R. didn't exactly play nice with each other like you might expect brothers to. Whereas J.R. was nearly a hundred percent scoundrel, Bobby had discernable streaks of honesty and integrity…but that patented Ewing viciousness certainly reared its head once in a while. The South Fork ranch housed Jock and Miss Ellie, the king and queen of South Fork, J.R. and long-suffering wife Sue Ellen, and Bobby and Pamela…though why they all lived under one roof demands a little poetic license, because money certainly wasn't a problem, and it wasn't like there was a whole lot of binding inter-family harmony. Here's just a taste of the drama devices that ensued: insane asylums, car accidents, affairs, illegitimate children, gunfights, fistfights, catfights, lies, drinking problems (both real and imagined), poufy 80's hairstyles for the ladies and best of all, notorious season finale cliffhangers.
Dick Loudon and wife Joanna relocate from New York City to a small town in Vermont, where they run the historic Stafford Inn. They're surrounded by a town full of oddballs and colorful characters, whom Loudon deals with in various states of bemusement.

When the world isn't the same as our minds believe, then we are in a nightmare. And nothing is worse than a nightmare... Except one that you can't wake up from..." - Alamo Joe Rogan Werewolf is the story of Eric Cord, a college student. One fateful night, his best friend Ted reveals something to him that will change his life forever - Ted is a werewolf. At first Eric refuses to believe but has no choice when Ted transforms into the werewolf and Eric must shoot him in self-defense... but not before being bitten. Now, bearing the curse of the werewolf himself, Eric must track down the progenitor of his line, a man named Janos Skorzeny, and kill him. Only then can he be free of his curse... However, while he tracks down Skorzeny he is also hunted himself by "Alamo Joe" Rogan, a bounty hunter who knows what Eric truly is.

ABC Afterschool Specials
Welcome to The ABC Afterschool Special guide at TV Tome. There is uncertainty about the life span for this show. Despite documented evidence in the "Episode List" to the contrary, it has been assumed the The ABC Afterschool Special were a fatality of the first U.S. war with Iraq. Then again, it may have just been that more and more ABC affiliates got sick of wasting one hour each month that could have been devoted to Oprah Winfrey. If you have the "First Aired" and "Last Aired" statistics that you know are correct (one editor still votes January 1991 for the kill date of the series), please submit them below. You may also inquire directly to: ABC VIEWER SERVICES, 77 West 66th Street, New York, NY 10023. If you would like to be the editor for this show, look here for details.
Scarecrow and Mrs. King
Goodbye, PTA…hello, foreign intrigue! Single mom Amanda King leads a quiet suburban life in Washington DC until the day a dashing stranger shoves a package in her hands with instructions to give it to the man in the red hat. In no time, Amanda is dodging bullets, foiling assassination plots – and finding herself drawn to the dashing stranger, agent Lee Stetson, aka Scarecrow. Of course, Scarecrow has no interest in a ditsy amateur spy, no matter how pretty. But she certainly is handy in a crisis! Share the Season One fun with stars Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner in this fast-paced 5-Disc, 21-Episode Set of the lighthearted series that proves laughs and romance are powerful weapons in the battle to protect national security.
Lou Grant
Lou Grant was a spinoff from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and premiered on CBS in September 1977. The series was a radical departure from its predecessor as it was a drama. It was the first successful one-hour show from MTM Enterprises. As the series began, Lou Grant had just been fired from his job at WJM-TV, and had moved to Los Angeles to work for a newspaper.
The show featured Sada Thompson and James Broderick as Kate and Doug Lawrence, a happily married middle-class couple living in Pasadena, California. Doug is an independent lawyer, and Kate was a housewife (she would eventually go back to school herself). They had three children: Nancy (portrayed by Elayne Heilveil in the original mini-series and later by Meredith Baxter Birney), Willie (Gary Frank), and Letitia, nicknamed "Buddy" (Kristy McNichol). (There was another son, Timothy, who had died five years previous to the series' beginning.) The show raised the profile of all of its featured actors during its run and, in particular, catapulted McNichol to stardom.
The show attempted to depict the "average" family, warts and all. Storylines were very topical, and the show was one of the first to feature shows that have recently been termed as "very special episodes." In the first episode, Nancy walked in on her husband Jeff (John Rubinstein) making love to one of her friends. During the second season she and Jeff divorced, but Jeff would continue to appear regularly as an active father, as well as finding himself involved in more of the Lawrence family's affairs. Other topical storylines included Kate having to deal with the possibility that she had breast cancer, as well as Buddy dealing with advances from boys. In the later seasons, there were instances in which Buddy had to decide whether or not to have sex; she always chose to wait, most notably in an episode with guest star Leif Garrett, who was a teen idol at the time. Another topical episode dealt with Buddy's friendship with a teacher who was revealed to be a lesbian. Family also dealt with alcoholism (Doug's sister; Buddy's old friend) as well as adoption, when the family adopted a girl named Annie Cooper (Quinn Cummings). One episode in 1979 (directed by actress Joanne Woodward) guest-starred Henry Fonda as a visiting elderly relative who was beginning to experience senility and memory loss.
Barney Miller
Barney Miller is the kind of cop we'd all like to run into. He is always sensible. He maintains order over a squad room of detectives who gamble for a hobby, get hit on by anything in skirts, go to renaissance philosophy conventions for fun, and would really prefer to be writing. Nearly all of the action takes place in the squad room where the citizens and criminals are brought in to complicate the mix.
Spenser: For Hire
Spenser: For Hire is a mystery/suspense series based on Robert Parker's "Spenser" novels. Spenser, a private investigator living in Boston, gets involved in a new mystery each episode. Using his years of experience, his natural talents for observation and reasoning, and the occasional bit of help from his friend Hawk, Spenser never fails to crack the case.
Trapper John, M.D.
Welcome to the Trapper John, M.D. guide at TV Tome. First Telecast: September 23, 1979
Last Telecast: September 4, 1986 Episodes: 151 Color Episodes "Trapper John, M.D." brought the character of "Trapper John" from M*A*S*H in as the Chief of Surgery at San Franscico Memorial Hospital. Joining him on the surgical staff was a brilliant young surgeon, G. Alonzo "Gonzo" Gates, who had also served in a MASH unit --- in Vietnam. The show covered standard medical stories, but it also took chances with such subjects as AIDS, the Epstein-Barr Virus, and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Homicide: Life on the Street
A mundane yet compelling look into the grim affairs of the Homicide Unit of the Baltimore Police Department. Shot entirely with handheld cameras on location in the Fells Point Community of Baltimore, it's unlike most "cop shows" in that it lacks action-packed sequences involving car chases, gun fights and explosions. Instead, the episodes are focused on the actual investigative work required to close the case. Inspired by David Simon's acclaimed non-fiction book, "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets," it's been quoted as "the most reality-based police drama ever aired on television."
The 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is stuck in the middle of the Korean war. With little help from the circumstances they find themselves in, they are forced to make their own fun. Fond of practical jokes and revenge, the doctors, nurses, administrators, and soldiers often find ways of making wartime life bearable.
Free-wheeling San Francisco cop Harry Hooperman inherits a run down apartment building, and the building owner's mean, hateful and just plain annoying dog Bijoux. Not having the time to maintain the building and tend to his police work, Hooperman hires feisty aspiring writer Susan Smith as his superintendent/maintenance person. He and Smith soon begin a relationship, and the series chronicles the ups and downs of the relationship, along with Hooperman's efforts as a policeman.
Remington Steele
Try this for a deep, dark secret. The great detective Remington Steele? He doesn't exist. I invented him. Follow:
I always loved excitement, so I studied and apprenticed, and put my name on an office. But absolutely nobody knocked down my door. A female private investigator seemed so . . . feminine. So I invented a superior. A decidedly masculine superior.
Suddenly, there were cases around the block. It was working like a charm. Until the day he walked in, with his blue eyes and mysterious past. And before I knew it, he assumed Remington Steele's identity. Now I do the work and he takes the bows. It's a dangerous way to live, but as long as people buy it, I can get the job done. We never mix business with pleasure. Well, almost never. I don't even know his real name.
Knots Landing
Hoping to ride the crest of its success with Dallas, CBS spun off this
series featuring the black sheep of the Ewing Family, Gary Ewing. Gary was a
weakened reformed alcoholic who had deserted his wife Valene Ewing, and then
remarried her and moved to Southern California to escape the formidable nature
of life with the Ewings in Dallas. All the equals in this series lived on the
same cul-de-sac in the quiet little community of Knots Landing. In addition to
being neighbors, their lives intertwined in other ways. Gary worked for Sid
Fairgate, owner of Knots Landing Motors, the local classic car dealership. Sid
and his wife Karen Fairgate had three teenage children: Eric Fairgate, Michael
Fairgate, and Diana Fairgate. The other two couples on the cul-de-sac were young
recording executive Kenny Ward and his attractive wife, Ginger, and Richard and
Laura Avery. Richard was an obnoxious, aggresive, unprincipled attorney who was
always lusting after other women a
Family Ties
In this family sitcom, former 1960s flower children Steven and Elyse Keaton raise their four kids Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, and Andrew, who was born in 1985. The show revealed the changing values during the Reagan era as the 1960s hippie parents clashed with their 1980's conservative son, Alex. The show also tackled a number of serious issues ranging from suicide to racism to drug dependency.
Wizards and Warriors
The legendary Kingdom of Camarand is ruled by good King Baaldorf and Queen Lattinia. Their daughter, Ariel, is engaged to Prince Erik Greystone, who becomes Camarand's Champion against a neighboring kingdom ruled by evil Prince Dirk Blackpool. Erik was always helped by his servant, Marko, the strongest man in the kingdom and often hindered by his ne'er-do-well playboy brother, Justin. A variety of wizards and witches, both good and evil, also played a part in the conflict. This short-lived black comedy satirized the sword and sorcery genre and pop culture.
Sam, a former pitcher for the Boston Redsox, owns and runs Cheers, a cozy bar in Boston. Somewhat snobby, beautiful and intelligent Diane -- forced to become a waitress when her fiance jilts her -- constantly bickers with Sam. Eventually, they fall in love. Several wacky characters make the bar their home-away-from-home, including sarcastic waitress Carla, beer-loving Norm and Boston letter carrier Cliff.

ESRAG's Annual Election Information
Vote between
May 14, 2017 – June 5, 2017
See RESOURCES for our latest announcements.
Rotarians making the world a better place by taking care of our environment.
Environmental Sustainability involves people making decisions that do no harm to the natural world, with particular emphasis on taking actions that preserve the ability for the environment to renew itself and continue to support human well-being.
How do environmental sustainability issues apply to Rotarians?
Rotary International funds and nurtures projects in six Areas of Focus – areas of critical and widespread humanitarian needs: Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution; Disease Prevention and Treatment; Water and Sanitation; Maternal and Child Health; Basic Education and Literacy; Economic and Community Development. Environmental Sustainability is a cross-over attribute that is an essential element of the projects that are designed and implemented by Rotarians, their Clubs and Districts, and funded by Rotary International.
- DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES: Depletion, pollution and lack of equal access to natural resources, and ecological and food insecurity are root-causes of world conflict, war and forced migration on our crowded planet, frustrating a fundamental goal of RI to bring peace to the world.
- EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS: Changing precipitation patterns, exacerbated by an increasingly unstable climate, have increased both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events: particularly droughts and flooding. The resulting depletion and contamination of surface water and aquifers impedes the RI goal of providing access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Failure to manage our environment sustainably leads to civil strife and the contamination of air, water and soil confound meeting the RI goal of preventing and treating disease.
- ENVIRONMENTAL AFFECTS ON CHILDREN: Environmental degradation undermines the safety of the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. These harms are borne disproportionately by children, and the mothers that nurture them. Young minds, some damaged by toxic pollutants and malnutrition, are less able to benefit from education and literacy.
- SOCIAL STABILITY: Civil unrest compromises the social stability essential for education to flourish. The most advantageous and productive community development arises from an approach that values benefits to the society and environment as well as the economy – the essence of sustainability.
In summary, every one of RI's Six Areas of Focus benefits from efforts that are environmentally sustainable. Every project will be more effective in the long run, if environmental sustainability is the lens through which it is planned, implemented and evaluated. ESRAG's mission is to engage Rotarians in considering and applying environmental sustainability principles in their projects and daily choices.
What is a Rotarian Action Group?
A Rotarian Action Group (RAG) is a Rotary International approved autonomous, international group with a passion for a particular type of service. Rotarian Action Groups provide assistance and support to Rotary clubs and districts in planning and implementing service projects in their respective areas of expertise.

Video: Dallas reporter bullies 70-year-old man on camera
posted at 8:00 am on October 18, 2007 by Bryan
- Share on Facebook 1
Via InstaPundit and Riehl World View, you have to see this video to believe it. KDFW-TV reporter Rebecca Aquilar badgers 70-year-old Army veteran James Walton and reduces the man to tears. His crime: Defending his property against thieves who repeatedly broke in and stole from him. After more than 40 calls to police didn't stop the burglaries at his home and place of business (they're the same place), he shot and killed two burglars in the span of three weeks. Because they were breaking into his home with impunity. Fortunately, common sense and the laws of Texas back up Mr. Walton's right to take the actions that he took. Evidently, that's not good enough for journalist Rebecca Aguilar, so she ambushed him.
[Video removed]
"Are you a trigger happy person?" ought to be tattooed on her arm.
Aguilar has been suspended. Instead of being feted as Hispanic Journalist of the Year, she ought to be held up as one example of what has become all to prevalent in the news business: Arrogant journalists who take the wrong side in nearly every story they "objectively" cover and make it impossible for average folks to live their lives in peace. She's the kind of journalist who runs up to the family of a plane crash victim, tells them that their loved on has perished, and then shoves a mic in their face and asks "How do you feel?"
Update: If you'd like to contact KDFW-TV, this post has the info. If you contact them or the reporter, be civil. In other words, don't act like Aguilar did.

My lord. But it's like that with anyone who is national, really, or in broadcasting. Us local print reporters make fun of broadcast journalists because of how sensational and over the top they try to make their stories.
ScoopPC11 on October 18, 2007 at 8:13 AM
Glad to see that she has been suspended. There is no excuse for treating so poorly an elderly person (or really, any person) who has been through so much already. That being said, many of the commenters on the "suspended" link above had the same questions I do. Who sent her on the assignment? Who helped edit the tape? Who made the decision to air the segment? Sounds like she is taking the fall for all of them. Don't get me wrong; I'm not defending her in any way. I'm just sayin' — what about the others who were involved? I sincerely hope that Mr. Walton's troubles are over.
lan astaslem on October 18, 2007 at 8:15 AM
How long before the Hispanic League, or whatever, starts massive protests for her "unfair" dismissal?
Its Tommy on October 18, 2007 at 8:20 AM
I think some "journalists" take the investigative title to heart. Does she think she has some perp in the interrogation room? Who the hell does she think she is? I'll call her a bitch, but this is one of the cases where the C word comes to mind.
reaganaut on October 18, 2007 at 8:24 AM
So, does she admit on TV that she does not own a gun, and would never fight off people who break into her house. Rather, she would take her chances in gettting to a phone to call the police and pray that they get there in time to save her and her family. God bless the Castle Doctrine. I'd rather be judged by 12, then carried by 6.
m1a1usmc on October 18, 2007 at 8:28 AM
What she did was nothing less than racist and xenophobic.
/sarcasm off/
darwin on October 18, 2007 at 8:30 AM
Those laws that protect people like the man who defended himself make me proud to be a Texan.
I think that reporter should be forced to take a concealed carry class – let her see how seriously gun owners take their responsibilities.
Plus, she'd be forced to touch and fire those guns she seems to hate so much.
She would be the first person to want that man by her side if her family and property was threatened by criminals.
Why should that gentleman feel any "remorse" for tidying up the gene pool a bit? He deserves a medal and I think Emperor Misha will probably have one struck for him. Kudos to Mr. Walton and shame on the so-called Hispanic Reporter to the Year.
Redhead Infidel on October 18, 2007 at 8:46 AM
Basically, it looked like she was trying to break him down and get a Montel moment or something. No real attempt to get his side of the story. Maybe that's where she should be working.
IreneFingIrene on October 18, 2007 at 8:49 AM
I say we call all of the advertisers with that station and boycott their products until that bitch is terminated. That just was not right.
lsutiger on October 18, 2007 at 8:55 AM
Property rights are the foundation of freedom and liberty. Individuals have a right and, I submit, a social responsibility to protect their property. In so doing, they strengthen the rights of all. Not only are there two less burglars, there are countless others who will think twice about invading another's home and property.
Aquilar is a fool. She ambushes a law-abiding citizen and implies that he lays in wait for an opportunity to shoot someone. Sadly, this is what is called "journalism" today.

Good for Mr. Walton. Nobody is (or should be) obliged to sit around and watch criminals loot his property– the biggest outrage here is that the cops took away the man's gun, even after admitting that he broke no laws.
morganfrost on October 18, 2007 at 9:02 AM
If she was standing in that door keeping him from closing the door and leaving, that is false imprisonment and in a free country that woman would be prosecuted. Here in the United States though, where the media has a different set of laws then the common people (and Congress, including the republicans, is about to strengthen the laws making "journalists" an elite class) she is an untouchable.

The last Texas legislature just made it easier to defend our property. We can use deadly force if someone is on our property at night stealing our stuff. We no longer have to wait for the bad guy to attack us first before striking back.
It's old-fashioned Texas justice and I'm glad it's back.
pullingmyhairout on October 18, 2007 at 9:19 AM
I can't bear to watch the video, but I do plan to send Mr. Walton a letter of support through his business. This gentleman served his country both in the Army, and as a citizen who refused to be a victim. I wish all Americans were willing to stand up to the criminal element of this country and say, "We will not be held hostage by the likes of you or your weeping lefty supporters."
DrMagnolias on October 18, 2007 at 9:20 AM
Also the new law allows you to shoot the SOB not just when he is coming in the window, but also when he is going out.
Limerick on October 18, 2007 at 9:23 AM
The problem is that we have truly become a nation of victims, where the poor, poor, CRIMINAL is inevitably the victim. Criminals whine about their rights, but in my book, you cross my property line, intent on committing a crime, that's where your rights end. Watching that video, my wife said, we should send Mr. Walton an encouraging word because of what he has had to endure. Especially after the way he was treated by Rebecca Aguilar. As an aside, I recently saw an illegal immigrant on the news say something to the effect that, yes she broke the law, but she did it for the right reasons. With that mindset, I could rob a bank in order to feed my family and fight the arrest, because I stole for the right reasons. Maybe that's Ms. Agiuilar's point as well. Those poor boys were robbing Mr. Walton for the right reasons.
MrFreeman07 on October 18, 2007 at 9:31 AM
This dispicable bully "reporter" "Rebecca Aquilar of KDFW-TV needs to be fired. Who does she think she is to pretend on camera that the old guy is the bad guy ? I wonder what Rebecca Aquilar would do if people were constantly breaking into her house.

I've never killed anyone, but I know several men who have been in battle and killed the enemy.
I don't think anyone in their right mind "enjoys" it or doesn't think about it. Can you imagine what poor Mr. Walton had to endure after shooting someone with a shotgun? Have you seen what a shotgun does to flesh?
And he did this twice. I'd be interested to know if Mr. Walton served in battle. He's certainly from the WW2 generation. I bet he'd say the same thing, or have the same thoughts. Killing someone will haunt you for the rest of your life, regarldless of the circumstances.
Having said that, I live in the Dallas area and remember when Rrrrrrebecca first came on TV. At first, she pronounced her name with 1 R, then it became fashionable for Hispanics to roll their r's. She really makes me sick. I can't stand her and have never watched her for more than a few minutes.

They are required by law to take in evidence for the Grand Jury that is requisite in shooting cases. He'll get his guns back after they exonerate him. I hope they pin a medal on his chest.
SuperManGreenLantern on October 18, 2007 at 10:10 AM
The source of her hostility? I think the wall around Mr Watson's property reminded Aquilar of another wall…
In retrospect, Mr. Walton sould have said no comment and just drove off. She's not worth talking speaking to, and he shouldn't have to justify his actions to a reporter with an agenda.
Good for Mr. Walton for protecting his property.
eanax on October 18, 2007 at 10:16 AM
I don't know it didn't sound that bad to me. Ambushing the guy in the parking lot is pathetic but she didn't seem that accusatory to me and at least with how the clip was cut it looked like he broke down in tears before she got to the trigger happy question.
bj1126 on October 18, 2007 at 10:19 AM
Look at the bright side of this report. Without the controversy, it would not have gotten as much airplay. The next thief will maybe think twice before climbing that wall.

Similar here in Florida; the law has been relaxed and I will feel much more at ease defending my family and property nowadays. I'm not angry at Texas' treatment of the man under the law (I LOVE Texas and Texans in general, except the city of Austin) but rather the media and the fact that so many people will side with this reporter, arguing that there is something wrong with the guy for "killing two human beings in three weeks".
RW Wacko on October 18, 2007 at 10:27 AM
Why didn't/doesn't she go to the criminals house and interview the family and ask (badger) them why they raised a criminal. Or possibly badger the probation/parole officer/judge/prosecuter that let these thieves out of jail, 'cause I'll bet ya this was not their first rodeo. She is a punk and a bully. by the way, wonder if her husband has a gun in their house?
clawjockey on October 18, 2007 at 10:31 AM
This is the most disgusting display of the "drive by media" in action that I have ever witnessed. Even Michael Moore wouldn't have gone this far. As a Texan, I am outraged that this is what passes as reporting at KDFW. This gentleman should be lauded as a hero, not harassed and demeaned by a troll with a camera and a microphone. I am firing of a letter to KDFW demanding Rebecca Aquilar's immediate dismissal.

I'm not a big fan of the Ambush By Camera technique even when it's Bill O'Reilly targeting someone like Mike Nifong. I think it too invasive and ends up making even bad guys appear to be victims. But in this case I'd be all for this woman tasting a bit of her own venom. Someone should stake out her condo and chase her down to ask if she respects only the first amendment while disregarding the second.
I can't believe she thought this 'interview' would fly in Texas.

That's pretty much my outlook. I don't wish for that situation, ever. However, I'd rather have the means to defend myself and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I feel sorry for that man, no one wants to be put in the position of killing someone, even scumbags. But the lack of enforcement and police protection forced into doing what the police should have done. Thank God he had a gun to protect himself with.
Now I am with many others in sitting outside the reporters house and ambushing her. A little taste of their own medicine would humble her.

Here is a copy of my comments to her.
Your abuse of a 70-year-old Army veteran in your recent ambush piece is deplorable and is one of the reasons that most people have lost all respect for your profession. My advice to you is to apologize to your viewers and Mr. Walton on air for your poor judgment and tactics, or we (the public) shall demand your discharge.
conservnut on October 18, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Tell me again why we should trust this kind of reporter with a federal shield law?
d1carter on October 18, 2007 at 12:04 PM
She's the kind of journalist who runs up to the family of a plane crash victim, tells them that their loved on has perished, and then shoves a mic in their face and asks "How do you feel?"
The above comment reminds me of a reporter, Barrie Dunsmore, who did exactly that, and though it seems like a hundred years ago, I have never forgotten it.
During the fall of Saigon a number of charities were evacuating orphans before the North Vietnamese took over. One such operation was run by a Montrealer named Naomi Bronstein.
Sadly, one planeload of orphans whom Ms. Bronstein had just sent on its way crashed immediately after take-off. All aboard were killed.
At that time, Barrie Dunsmore was reporting for ABC News from Saigon, and he was at the airport when the plane crashed.
I will never forget Dunsmore shoving his microphone into the face of an obviously shocked and distraught Naomi Bronstein asking for her reaction to the crash, as the burning wreckage and bodies lay within eyesight. He pressed her repeatedly for answers. I was quite young, but it has always stayed with me.
It was a horrible example of journalistic lack of ethics and may have been the point at which I began to realize that the media could be as much a problem as a benefit.
Dunsmore had a long and successful career thereafter, but I was never able to look at him the same after that.
Good Lord. The interview was bad enough, but by the tone of her closing remarks she obviously hopes that a grand jury sticks it to this poor man.
And what is the deal with cops confiscating a gun that they admit was lawfully used in self-defense?
SWLiP on October 18, 2007 at 12:16 PM
This is a microcosm of where America is headed.
If the restorative justice crowd had their way, you would never be able to take action to defend your property.
In California, we have criminals sueing their victims because of injuries THEY sustained during home invasion robberies.
I want my country back.
Hawkins1701 on October 18, 2007 at 12:23 PM

Few things please me more than a private citizen killing a predator who was trying to deprive him of life, liberty, or property. May it happen one-hundred fold!
Loundry on October 18, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Bryan, Thank you for giving this story the publicity it deserves.
I was soured on reporters years ago when we had 2 immediate family members die in a tragic accident because of a faulty space heater. One victim was a small baby.
The local news crews, Including the same D/FW station Aguilar is from, were there to film it. We asked them not to report it until we were able to tell the elderly great grandparents on both sides of the family, they said, and I quote, "We thought it was a homicide, it wont air" Of course it was the lead story on all three networks that night. (WFAA, KDFW and KXAS.)
The local Newspaper called to confirm the names of the dead and I asked them not to print it yet for the same reason. The reporter told me "If you don't tell me, I'll just get it off the police report". That's how one set of grandparents found out about it. That reporters name is eternally burned into my memory.
The crap we went through didn't upset me as much as the time another one of those three stations interviewed a young boy who had lost both his grandparents, who were also his guardians, in an accident. The boy was crying his eyes out and said "They were all I had and now I don't have nobody" That camera shoved in his face the whole time.
Reporters need to be held responsible when they cross the line. I hope Rebecca Aguilar is made an example of and if she is not, then KDFW needs to be held up in her place.
Hopefully Ms. Aguilar will learn from this, but I doubt it.

Mojack420 on October 18, 2007 at 11:52 AM
That way, if you shoot the predator outside of a state with a good Castle Doctrine Law and a surviving criminal or his family sues you for death/injury, even though the predator was committing a felony at the time, or if an overzealous prosecutor goes after you, when you are questioned and are asked if you intended to kill the perp, you can honestly say, "I continued to shoot until the threat was eliminated." At least that has been the advice lethal force classes I have attended.
deepdiver on October 18, 2007 at 1:03 PM
Can you guys post contact info where we can respectfully request she never work in journalism again? …or at least with that station.

What I would like to see is much, much more media praise for people who defend themselves from violent predators and kill the predator in the process. Those people are heroes, and we (the good guys) should treat them as such — provided that they want the attention.
Naturally this kind of praise will have to happen in the new media.

I'm the same way, when we had our school shooting, we had reporters sticking their cameras in our faces and asking questions as we were evacuated from the school. Students were even followed home by reporters! Even if you asked them not to take or use photos or video of you, they would, and you'd see them in TV or papers the next day, they were there for days, and this wasn't even a major one, it was a minor with only one injury.
This reporter is like the same reporters we dealt with…
The old man needs a large sign for his front fence. It should have a line of sneaking burglar silhouettes with large red Xs through two of them. Then the words "WANNA BE NEXT? I just bought a new shotgun–c'mon in!"
aero on October 18, 2007 at 1:16 PM
There are reports that the reporter has been suspended. No doubt the station took the action until things cool off. She probably is still receiving her salary.
peacenprosperity on October 18, 2007 at 1:17 PM
my comment to the pos hack 20$ says it dosnt even get opened on her end
What gives you the right to badger a law abiding American citizen, especially a 70 year old vet, who was defending his property? You are nothing but a bottom feeding POS! I hope your employer cans your sorry ass. I am pretty sure you have the fine skills needed to say "would you like fries with that. "
"Are you trigger happy."
Wtf kind of asinine question is that???
And news flash biotch you never shoot to injure, you always shoot to kill. It's something so simple even a moronic a$$ wipe such as your self should be able to under stand.
Now remember to start practicing for you new job

Leftist reporters will side with criminals and against decent people like the sun rises.
They can't help themselves.
So we have to help them. Make it clear to them that their crap won't be tolerated, that we don't approve of their idiotic attitudes and gross rudeness.
Merovign on October 18, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Hmmm. I'm thinking about the "trigger happy" comment now. That would be another good sign to put on a fence–just the two simple words "TRIGGER HAPPY" in large letters. A clear message to would-be thieves that the occupant is armed and ready to defend his or her life and property. Plus, it's a funny tongue-in-cheek jab at gun critics like this stupid reporter. Heh. If you were a thief, would you choose a property with the "TRIGGER HAPPY" sign on the fence, or move on and choose a less-well-armed property to rob?

Deport her. Meh.
She's arrogant, and has no respect for property rights, but that doesn't justify racist comments.
Did Walton have to go through a waiting period? I know you can skip the waiting period if you have a concealed weapon's permit (at least in Florida, you can). If he had to wait, those are three business days (which usually works out to about 4 or 5 days) that he is without a method of self-defense. Any burgler who knew that his weapon had been confiscated by the police could have used that opportunity.
Mark Jaquith on October 18, 2007 at 1:47 PM
The last Texas legislature just made it easier to defend our property. We can use deadly force if someone is on our property at night stealing our stuff.
A possible motive for this mugging? Look for something like this every time a criminal is shot. Narrative.
thebriand on October 18, 2007 at 9:48 AM
We have had at least 6 people shot by homeowners in Dallas, over the last couple of months. IMO the Texas legislature has gone to far in the changes to the law. It is one thing to defend ones home, another to pursue someone as in this case:
A homeowner near Bachman Lake fatally shot an intruder early Tuesday (Oct. 16) after confronting the unidentified individual in his (the homeowner's) detached garage.
Dallas police indicate that there will probably be no charges filed against the homeowner, who was alerted to the presence of the suspected burglar by his (unidentified) pet, and then tracked the man on his surveillance system. The residence had reportedly been burglarized several times within the last month.
or shoot blindly through a door as in the death of Carter Albrecht.
was shot to death early Monday morning in East Dallas while pounding on the door of a home near his girlfriend's after a physical altercation with her, police said.
Thinking that someone was trying to break in, the homeowner — whom police did not name — fired a shot through the door at 4:07 a.m., said Sgt. Gil Cerda, a Dallas police spokesman. The bullet struck Albrecht in the head.

Anybody wanna bet that if this nitwit managed to get this guy to say something close to incriminating she would have started beating the drums for a Grand Jury investigation?
Rather than being suspended (should be fired) she and her co-workers would be working overtime on numerous follow-ups trying to get him indicted.

He is facing 2 Grand Juries. Even though the D.A. ruled the killings legal, each case must still go before a Grand Jury.
It is obvious to me that she is trying to influence the prospective members of the Grand Juries that will hear his cases.
Helloyawl on October 18, 2007 at 2:53 PM
Letter sent to [email protected], [email protected]
I have just seen the video of Rebecca Aguilar verbally assaulting James Walton, and unlawfully imprisoning him in his car. This was not a report, it was a crime – twice over. I cannot grasp how this reporter was awarded anything if she believes treating victims of repeated crimes in this manner is acceptable; which she obviously must believe as she did so on camera with the full knowledge that it would be shown on air.
It is abhorrent to see a crime victim that acted in self-defense treated like this, especially after repeated attempts to have law enforcement actually enforce the laws. The real story this "reporter" should have reported was one of successful citizen self-defense from unlawful actions by criminals that had no respect for property, laws, or the police. If she is incapable of seeing the world this way and only able to do attack jobs she could have gone after the criminals for forcing Mr Walton's actions, or the failure of law enforcement to find and remove the criminals from the streets.
It is painfully obvious that this "reporter" has a personal bias and wanted to use the lawful self-defense actions of Mr. Walton as an excuse to act on it. Trying to twist things to make the victim the criminal, implying malicious intent to his actions, harassing him to the point of emotional outbursts was repugnant.
There are many reporters that do their best to actually report events, present a factual account of who, what, why, when & how, treat people with respect, and know the difference between right & wrong. With this story/video it was almost painfully obvious that Rebecca Aguilar is not one of those reporters. I honestly doubt that the suspension will provide her any motivation to reflect on her actions or world view and make the needed corrections. Perhaps if Mr. Walton pressed charges and sued her directly it might be a big enough shock allow the blinders to come off. But regrettably it is almost certain Mr. Walton does not even entertain the idea of doing so. Which really shows which of the two has class and is an adult, and which is crass and immature of thought.
Voidseeker on October 18, 2007 at 2:56 PM
She's lucky… I would have had a lot less patience than Mr. Walton.
Jonas Parker on October 18, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Yeah, I'm not so sure I'd go around cornering and antagonizing a guy who has already shot and killed two people for being in his space–and who's holding a brand-new shotgun! I guess if he started opening the box, she'd have plenty of time to run away before he could load it. Heh. Wonder if that would be considered self-defense in Texas? ;-)
aero on October 18, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Nope, I don't intend to be "civil" to this so-called "journalist" and bully. The "lady" should be FIRED, not just suspended. And Mr. Walton should file a multi-million dollar suit for this ASSAULT and DEFAMATION against both the station and their reporter.
He was a lot more polite to her than I would have been. I promise you that.
georgej on October 18, 2007 at 2:21 PM
Actually one of the posters on the Dallas blog that started this said she had committed felony false imprisonment by not letting him leave, and that Mr. Walton should prosecute and sue. I think he should also; with the public outcry over this I think a D.A. could be compelled to prosecute.
liquidflorian on October 18, 2007 at 3:05 PM
scooter on October 18, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree.
In both cases the person that is dead made the choice to violate someone else's home. The death of the boy is sad and unfortunate as there was no criminal intent, but the person inside the home had no knowledge of such OR responsibility to try and discover it. The male in question should not have been beating on someone else's property.
Yes, I happen to believe that personal responsibility is paramount, and respect for others rights/property only slightly less so. They are dead because of their own choices.
Voidseeker on October 18, 2007 at 3:06 PM
"Are you trigger happy"
He should have just gotten in his car when he saw her and drove off.
The media paints anyone that owns a gun, or defends themselves as the criminal, or the trigger happy gun owner that invites intruders.
Makes me want to vomit.
A tip is you are ever involved in a shooting. DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA. PERIOD.
americaslaststand on October 18, 2007 at 3:07 PM
I don't think libs have any idea how their words and tactics boomerang. I've been thinking about buying a gun for quite awhile. I wasn't brought up with guns, and live in NY where usually it's only the bad guys who have them. But seeing this brave man, and this cowardly woman, self-reliant conservative vs. spineless liberal, made-up my mind, so I went out and bought a shotgun.
Law-abiding Americans have an obligation to protect themselves and to help law enforcement protect the community.
Bravo Mr.Walton. And thank you Ms.Aguilar for arming another American.
JiangxiDad on October 18, 2007 at 3:09 PM

foxforce91 on October 18, 2007 at 3:21 PM

Discussion in 'Tennis Tips/Instruction' started by guitarplayer, Sep 21, 2011.
Usually i just try to keep my focus. The jitters are there till you get on the court and start hitting so i just try to keep my focus on the gameplan and execution. And its always important to have belief. You can try to calm yourslef by closing your eyes that helps me sometimes
Focus on the ball. Focus on your game. Focus on breathing. Play the game almost as if you aren't even consciously there. Play as if you're almost observing.
Let your body do all the hitting. Let your mind just watch.
And as always... have fun.
Thanks. It's the waiting. Match isn't until 9pm tonight.
Plenty of sleep, no morning coffee , and extensive/challenging warm-up, 30-45min at least. For warm-up, you need a consistent partner, and those are hard to come by, even at 4.0 level. In my league, people come too late to get a good warm-up going, and most don't take it seriously enough. Not even sure what people do at tournaments.
I would find something more important to think about. Like what car you're going to buy next, etc. And listen to some Norah Jones.
Then when you get on court, change your name to Kevin. And after every point, go "Good shot, Kevin" or "Let's go, Kevin"
I listen to music, preferably mindless music with a catchy tune that I can sing in my head while I play. There is some science behind hitting better when you have music playing in your head.
Don't forget prayer. That will do
What's the cause of the jitters?
I always go to the bathroom 5 minutes before it is action time, i put some cold water on my face. I also always text my girlfriend that its time , makes me feel secure for some reason.
A couple of guys on my team have a beer during their leauge doubles match. One guy may even have a couple. It seems to improve their play, but I don't drink while I play.
I cannot remember her name, but there was a woman who played Wimbledon before the open era, and she had a small glass of sherry before her matches.
Maybe a Xanax would be the modern equivalent of alcohol.
Seriously, I have found that playing lots of leauge matches reduces anxiety in competitive situations. I still get a bit of nerves from time to time but it is a much lower level than when I first started playing leauge matches. I am 54 yo and have been playing competitive tennis for 30+ years. It is like public speaking in that you have to suffer through the experience a few times before you get acustomed to it and begin to relax. I hated leading business meetings or presenting in business meetings when I first started working, but now it is no big deal because I have done it a 1,000 times.
Everyone gets the jitters, but the best players end up focusing on their game, not the other person.
I actually do this sometimes. I might have a little scotch or even a beer before a match.
Honestly, I don't think the alcohol has much of an effect as much as simply taking the time to relax and enjoy a good hit of scotch or a nice beer. The way we generally drink alcohol is actually very laid-back and relaxed. That can only help set the tone for the upcoming match.
Shake'em out, literally. While waiting bounce around and stretch out, breathe deep, maybe listen to some music, and just keep thinking "I got this". When you start up keep a clear head, no thinking of what your doing after or what happens if you win or lose, think only of the task at hand. Go point by point.
You should embrace the idea that you actually get jitters aka "butterflies" in your tummy just before big matches. That's the reason you choose to compete, and you know everyone who competes successfully gets the same thing.
Typically,they will happen when when you are thinking about it.Try to concentrate on something else.If that doesn't work,just concentrate on what you have to do.You cannot control the other guy,just your own actions.
I actually don't get the butterflies that often. Normally I just go out and think of just hitting the ball where I want and that's about it!
Stop caring about winning so much. It's a freaking rec game. It's not like your livelihood is on the line.
Have never understood why people get so het up about stuff that doesn't matter.
Think of pre-game jitters as a good thing. That means you genuinely care about how you do out there. Something is at stake, whether it's the trophy or just pride, maybe you just despise losing. This match means something to you.
I find this attitude curious. Why do people assume it is generally 'a good thing' to care deeply about winning at a recreational game?
I don't care about winning very much with tennis, but there are plenty of other things that I do. In most cases I enjoy them less than tennis because of that preoccupation.
Caring about success is great if the result matters in an objective sense. A pro player needs to care about winning or losing because his livelihood depends on it. But if you're only there to have fun - why tie that enjoyment to something as nebulous as winning or losing?
Dr Allen Fox talks about forgeting about winning and just play toward objective targets such as reducing unforced errors or hitting forehand aggressively. Chris Evertt used to talk about the ability to forget the score at ad-out and just play the point like any other. I think reducing the thoughts about score and winning and losing can help but it is easier said than done.
Also, simple things like "keep feet moving" and "accelerate through contact on all shots" may pull you through as most people slow down their feet and slow down their racket speed when they get tight or nervous. I literally will think "up on balls of feet - happy feet" and "accelerate thru" before the point starts in crucial situations.
Focus on executing your shots, one at a time. It also helps to know what the high percentage shots and plays are and go in to a match with that game plan already settled so you don't have to think too much about that during the match.
Separate names with a comma.

Hi guys,
I now want to put a quad exhuast on my E39 530d, where can I get it done for a good price ?
Many Thanks
Willl most probably have to be a custom build job. Places like 'powerflow' do custom made exhausts and have outfits nationwide. Not heard anything bad about them.
Cheers mate, shall give some people a call tomorrow !
just bare in mind mate your tyre well, makes it an awkward job.
Yeh i heard about that apparently thought they can weld around it...but will have words with them tomorrow
I wouldn't try to replicate an M5 though, any car nut will just look through the wheels and if they see that the brake discs and calipers aren't huge and they are in something hot, they'll most likely leave you for dust!
im not going to put the badges on though,i know what you're saying, but i just love the quad exhaust look
Are you trying to replicate an M5 or do you just want a quad exhaust?
the one in the first one sounds quite nice

Following execution of Afzal Guru,Curfew was imposed in all major towns of the Valley on early Saturday morning. According to reports National Highway was also closed. Heavy deployment of para military forces was seen in most parts of the Valley, mostly in sensitive areas like the old city in Srinagar as well as Sopore, which happens to be the hometown of Guru.
Guru was facing death row since 2003 for his involvement in December 2001 Parliament attack.

Nothing demonstrates the born-to- rule attitude that permeates the Labor Party than its opposition to Mark Brodie's appointment to the Gladstone Ports Corporation ("Newman appoints LNP mate to port", AFR, June 8).
Brodie's investment fund returned $34 million on $170 million, which I make to be a 20 per cent return. The ALP's friend, Ian Brusasco, presided over a 36 per cent budget blowout.
Instead of keeping quiet in shame, the ALP goes crazy protecting its mate. I hope it doesn't have enough members for a game of euchre after the next election.

Federer and Serena power into quarter-finals

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Roger Federer delivered a lesson to the next generation at the Australian Open, extending his record to a 35th consecutive grand slam quarter-final after Serena Williams set up a clash with her would-be successor.

Williams has been branded a mentor to the impressive Stephens, whom she beat in the leadup tournament in Brisbane but with a sixth title at Melbourne Park on the line, she quickly backed away from the role.
"I don't know. I mean, I would need a better definition of the word 'mentor'," Williams told reporters. Continued...
