Good Hope man shot in early morning mugging
A Good Hope, East Coast Demerara man is now in a critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hos-pital (GPH) after he was shot during a hold-up early yesterday morning.
Inshan Ali Ramlakhan was shot along the East Coast Public Road in the vicinity of Conversation Tree. He had been walking to his work place in the company of another male family member, when his assailant, who was riding a bicycle, pulled up to him and demanded that he hand over his valuables.
Stabroek News was told that the young relative handed over his cellphone to the robber but Ramlakhan refused and the robber shot him once to the left shoulder. The robber then relieved Ramlakhan of what he had in his pockets and left a black bag he had initially held onto before calmly riding away from the scene of the crime.
Police, in an official statement on the shooting, said Ramlakhan was shot on his left shoulder and the perpetrator stole three cellphones and $8,000. Although police gave the time of the shooting as 5:15am, Ramlakhan's relatives said the attack occurred almost two hours earlier.
It was the relative who had been accompanying Ramlakhan who managed to get help for the shot man. After the shooting, he rushed to the nearby home of his uncle and related what had happened.
The uncle, Sunil Ramlakhan, told this newspaper that he then went to the road only to discover Ramlakhan's body in a pool of blood. He said that he then took his nephew to the hospital.
Bibi Ali, Ramlakhan's mother, who was visibly distraught, said her son works with his uncle and would normally leave home early in the morning. Yesterday was no different and he caught a bus and when he got off he was attacked.
Family members pointed to a criminal gang that loiters in Bel Air Village close by to where the attack took place.
They said that since the attack took place, they had only heard from the police once and they were concerned about justice.
They also said that the young boy who was with Ramlakhan was very traumatised by the attack. They said he could not speak and was shaking uncontrollably.
Ali thanked staffers at GPH for the medical attention provided to her son.

Haircuts and Categorical Services for the Blind:
Charles E. Young, Administrator of the Oregon Commission for the Blind in Portland, Oregon, submitted the following little meditation that may be of use to those of us fighting for services tailored to the needs of blind consumers.
Nothing is more basic, regardless of age (youth, working years, retirement), than the need for a good haircut, nor more universal than the woes of a bad one. Additionally, nothing is more common than the neighborhood barber shop. Although styles may change, the concept of cutting hair seems simple when compared to, say, teaching new skills and positive attitudes in adjusting to blindness. Yet it would seem foolish to assert that every barber should have the training, confidence, and supplies for cutting African-American hair. Even if all barbers were required to obtain such specialized training before licensing, most would lose this skill or interest if it were not in demand. As a result African-Americans seek out specialists, whom some would label "segregated" barbers, who have the unique experience, confidence, and skills necessary to cut and style their hair. Nothing less will do, so to speak. Similarly, for blind Americans nothing less than the training provided by specialized and confident professionals will cut it. You see, African-American hair is different from that of Caucasians, just as the unique training needs of blind people differ from those of all others, including people with other disabilities.

The government's long-awaited Green Deal finally went live last week, but it was launched with more of a whisper than a bang (although PM David Cameron has attempted to explain why this is!). Businesses, official groups and the general public have already expressed concerns about the current and potential negative effects of the Deal, but before we get to that we need to know exactly what we're dealing with.
So What Is It?
The Green Deal Hub describes it as a "user-friendly, flexible framework which enables private businesses to offer consumers the opportunity to make energy efficiency improvements to their homes and businesses without the upfront capital costs."
The main aim is to improve the energy efficiency of buildings throughout the UK in order to reduce carbon emissions to the target set for 2050. Britain's ageing buildings are some of the least-energy efficient in the world, accounting for 38 per cent of the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions according to government figures. There is a general consensus across the energy industry and government that improving the energy efficiency of homes is the best way to tackle the growing problem of people being able to afford to heat their homes whilst also dealing with growing concerns about the environment. However, critics have said that the Green Deal is not enough, and that the government has effectively just transfered the responsibility of tackling fuel poverty from themselves to energy companies.
Another important goal is to generate new job opportunities throughout the construction industry for both skilled and unskilled workers. The Department of Energy and Climate Change suggests that he Green Deal could create up to 250,000 new jobs over the next decade. The main benefit for the public is the reduced energy costs that will come as a result of improving the energy efficiency of their houses, which is especially important in a time when energy bills are escalating sharply.
The energy saving measures available include improvements such as the installation of double- and triple-glazing, efficient Green Deal boilers, improved insulation, and perhaps even solar panels and wind turbines.
The overall process certainly appears to be simple:
- The potential customer contacts a Green Deal Provider, who will then send an accredited adviser to undertake a property assessment and report back to them.
- Using this information, the Green Deal Provider recommends a package that is appropriate to the customer's needs and budget.
- After obtaining any necessary permissions the customer can then sign up to the Deal, and the Green Deal Provider will then source an accredited installer to make all necessary changes to the property.
- Once these changes are complete, the Green Deal Provider updates the Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) register and informs the customer's energy supplier of the changes.
- The energy supplier then updates their records and places an additional charge on the customer's bill until such time as the energy improvements have been totally paid for.
- The money from this additional charge then goes from the energy company to the Green Deal Provider to pay for their services.
Despite this additional charge being added to the customer's energy bill they should end up paying less than before, as the total cost of the measures must add up to less than the estimated energy savings, and the payback period must be no longer than the length of time that the improvements will last.
The fact that the costs come in repayment form is also a benefit to the public as they do not have the worry of a huge upfront cost. Although, as with anything bought with credit, the total cost is higher than it would be if it was paid for upfront.
The costs are associated with the property rather than the customer, so there is no risk of the customer needing to move property but still having to take the Green Deal costs with them without getting the benefit.
Basically, the "Golden Rule" set by the government is: The expected financial savings must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill.
For more information, visit The Green Deal Hub's website. There you will find an excellent range of information for home owners, installers, and advisers, as well as more general details such as training information and a business directory. Green Deal Central also have an excellent Installer Guide, available here. Find out more about becomming a Green Deal Product Manufacturer by clicking here.

UB's Evans follows the leader
Bobby Hurley knows something about putting the offense into the uncertain hands of a freshman, so he wasn't about to panic early in the second half Saturday. Rewind the clock nearly a quarter century when Mike Krzyzewski handed him the keys to the Duke attack on his first day of practice in 1989.
You might say that worked out.
Hurley guided the Blue Devils to the Final Four three times in his four seasons and won two national championships. Twenty-one years after he graduated, he still holds the NCAA record for career assists. He's considered one of the best, if not the best, point guards in the history of college basketball.
It wasn't as if Hurley was throwing freshman Shannon Evans into the Final Four and hoping for the best Saturday. UB was having trouble breaking down St. Bonaventure's defense when senior Jarod Oldham dragged himself to the bench with his fourth foul less than two minutes into the second half.
Evans didn't just check into the game. He checked into his career in Buffalo. Three years from now, the 6-foot-1 guard and his coach may look back at the St. Bonaventure game as their unofficial starting point. His performance proved he belonged and was certain to go a long way in gaining confidence from his coach.
"I encourage him to be a playmaker," Hurley said. "He's a playmaker on both ends of the floor. He's got such an electric personality. People like watching him play. He excites his teammates. He plays with great passion. When he's doing that, we're a better team. Shannon is going to be on the floor, Jarod's foul issues aside."
Evans showed, in the sixth game of his career, that he was capable of running the operation if necessary. He was fearless but smart with his shot selection. He kept his composure against a good defender in Charlon Kloof and made intelligent decisions. Evans was resourceful in his 24 minutes and didn't have a turnover in the second half.
He scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half and led UB to a 78-73 victory over Bona in Alumni Arena. For a while, it was shaping into a battle between him and Kloof, a senior who took command of his offense with senior guard Matthew Wright on the bench with an ankle injury.
The freshman scored 12 points in one seven-minute stretch to keep the Bulls in the game at a time in which the Bonnies threatened to pull away. He showed up while Oldham watched helplessly from the bench. He led when Javon McCrea struggled to get involved in the offense. He emerged after Will Regan fell mostly silent.
UB didn't just win with him. It won because of him.
Hurley could sense the performance was coming. Evans was shaky while making three of the first 17 shots of his career in the first three games. He played better in a win over Robert Morris and had 13 points in the victory over Delaware State. But he had never been given the responsibility of running the offense in a tight game.
You never know how a player will respond until he does. If anyone understood as much, it was Hurley. They're different people with different styles and personalities, but they're connected by the position. Both were new on campus. Evans spent much of his first semester picking the brain from a mastermind.
"I go into his office a lot," Evans said. "He tells me about how he played against Michael Jordan and the Dream Team, the things he went through at Duke and all the adversity he faced. This isn't as big. He was at Duke, and I'm here. But I still face some of the same things he did. He's guiding me through this and making it easier for me."
Evans made it look easy Saturday.
He gained confidence with each possession while Oldham was on the bench. Of course, it always helps to make a few shots. Evans made a three-pointer midway through the half to bring UB within a bucket. He came with a reverse lay-up, and he buried another from long range to tie the game, 69-69.
The better he played, the more time he bought UB. Kloof was prepared to take over for Bona when he made a three-pointer with 3½ minutes left, but Evans reassured UB when he answered with one from the top of the key. It was the third of four consecutive long-range bombs UB converted, the other three from along the baseline, to pull away.
Evans fouled out with 30 seconds left. By then, Oldham had returned. The senior made four critical free throws down the stretch, but Evans made the difference.
"He does it at both ends of the court, and he's been doing it since Day One," Hurley said. "I trust him. He's going to be a great player in this program. He's had two great games, back-to-back, for us. Jarod getting his fourth foul early in the second half put Shannon in a position where he needed to have a great second half. And he delivered."
You would think Evans, who was recruited by former coach Reggie Witherspoon, had a stroke of luck when Hurley arrived. It was an opportunity to learn from the best. Evans considered leaving when Witherspoon was fired because he worried that Hurley would bring his own players. Hurley flew to Virginia to meet Evans and his father.
Hurley refused to make any promises he couldn't keep. He told Evans he would get a fair shake but would need to earn his playing time. It was all Evans wanted. Rather than leave for Appalachian State or Tennessee State, both of which were offering him scholarships, he decided he would remain at UB.
"He didn't hand me anything," Evans said. "He told me straightforward I would have to work for everything I have. That made me want to come more."
Evans spent much of his first semester sitting in Hurley's office and picking the brain of a mastermind. The two are building a bond for the coming years. If Hurley is going to be successful in Buffalo, he'll need Evans to become an extension of him on the floor. Saturday could be the start of a special relationship, like Hurley had with Coach K.
It should work out.

subjectivity and exaggerating the foibles or bad reasoning of the opposition in political coverage was the norm.
Volatility of reputation and subjectivity of quality make it difficult to define the novel in terms of absolute excellence.
These are poorly defined and have generated confusion and subjectivity around diagnosis.
One where there was little room for subjectivity, where the personal impression of the interviewer counted less.
I happen to believe an audience is totally capable of weighing in the objectivity or subjectivity of the filmmaker.
Could we transcend this subjectivity, isolated objects would cease to exist.
This was better than deciding between objectivity and subjectivity.
The 'subjectivity' opposed to this, in Schopenhauer's phraseology, is preoccupation with the interests of one's own will.
No one saw that this objective was really a subjective, and involved the subjectivity of all knowledge.
"subjectivity" means that the work of art appeals to our ordinary feelings, experiences, etc.

Positively Damonic!!
The Giambino!
And that's the beauty of Johnny Damon!
That double over Abreu, I was getting lunch when that happened and saw it on their TV. I don't think it went off his glove but it was close. He was completely stretched out running hard so I don't think he would've been able to get it. He did go into the wall kind of hard though.
When you TiVo the games, do you just fast forward through the whole thing to look for Johnny's ABs?
If I listen to the game I'll go back through for Johnny's ABs and other plays I want to see (Like the Abreu play to see if he should've caught it).
Good to know Bobby went after that ball hard. I'm sick of him shying away from the wall.
I know, it's always frustrating to see him pull up way before he has to, like that catch that should've been made the other night when Joba was pitching. Lets just say this though, if someone faster was out there today (Gardner) it would've been caught. But Bobby still gave it his best.
Doesn't it suck to have to listen to the radio during these weekday day games? I feel like it's a recording, Suzyn and John saying the same things every game.
"That's Baseball"
Sterling I can live with, sort of. Suzyn really makes my ears bleed though. How anyone ever thought putting her on the air was a good idea is beyond me.
I'll give you John, but Suzyn is, and has always been, awful. The only good thing about having her on radio is that we don't have to see her on TV. I don't particularly like the woman they use now on the post game (the field reporter, I can't remember her name right now), but I never watched the postgame with Suzyn.
I think Robbie is starting to find his stroke, eh? Just in time to start helping my fantasy team :-)
Kim Jones. She kind of looks like a dude.
Haha, it's so true. I think she irritates a lot of the players too during her post game on field interviews.
Leave Kim alone!
Mike said, "Leave Him alone!"
Will do. Sorry.
Kim is ALL woman!
Robbie Cano -- don't cha know!
The Yankees will bet on Betemit!
First time I heard that one! Sterling can do it all!
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Sterling's Betemit call. Well...not really.
Nice thread fellas. It's nice to come here, as opposed to some of the other blogs that have more commenters, because we can actually have discussions. Sometimes on the other sites comments get lost in the mix or there are just a bunch of assholes who want to be heard. Good game, lets keep it up tomorrow!
Thanks, glad you stopped by. We'll be doing many more live blogs as the season wears on.


text: Hey all, first time post here (but surely not the last). As always, I promise I have done my research about this before bugging you all with another similar question. My dilemma: I really would like to add a pair of suede oxfords to my collection (preferably gray), yet I'm a bit afraid of their compatibility. I would like to end up with something I can wear fairly often, as I like the look of suede shoes. Obviously I realize that brown suede would be a safe option but I really like the look of gray suede. I'm really just uncertain as to what to pair with them relating to my bottom half. Both pants and belts have me stumped. I have heard some recommend a black belt but I wonder if there are any other options because black just seems too formal and that is not the look I am going for. Really I am just shooting for a fairly casual look with preferably just chinos. So, if others have had pairing luck with gray suede oxfords or just have a few cents to toss in I would love to hear it. Or perhaps if you have another color suggestion, fire away!¡ And for a reference, I am looking at a style similar to these: http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4059744 I would like something a bit nicer than those but I can't seem to find any that catch my eye. Although, I suppose it might be nice to have a pair of "knockarounds" like those for informal situations.

It is WE the programmers ('workers') that need to write the programs that write programs, surely? Alex Exactly! Or maybe even write the programs that write the programs that write the programs. But how will the tools for doing this differ from the tools for just writing the programs? I saw an application (from the '70s) that did this: an APL report writer that took user data to output APL code (a program) that was then run (via APL's execute operator) to produce the desired report. Another, in a different vein, took all the behavior out of the Smalltalk objects in a graphics application and put them in an interpreted condition/action database that so a superuser could program the program to change the behavior of the application. So, do we need the text: How to Design Programs that Write Programs? --mr __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Messenger - Communicate in real time.

Our identity is more than our logo and colors. It is the essence of who we are and what we do. The Strengthening Rotary initiative helps us tell that story in a compelling way. By providing a clear and consistent image of what Rotary stands for and how we differ from other charitable organizations, we offer prospective members, donors, and other stakeholders a compelling reason to engage with us.
Research conducted among Rotary members worldwide revealed insights about who we are
- Rotary members are responsible leaders, both socially and ethically. We define leadership by mindset and approach, not labels or titles.
- Connecting with each other and our communities will always be the driving force behind Rotary.
- Rotary affects local communities on a global scale to create lasting change.
We found our voice:
- Smart — we are insightful and discerning
- Compassionate — we tackle community challenges with empathy and understanding
- Persevering — we find lasting solutions to systemic problems
- Inspiring — we encourage others to take action, conveying hope, enthusiasm, and passion
We defined three core ideas to help you describe Rotary to a new audience:
- Rotary joins leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations.

Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin figured last year was his baseball program's best chance to win its first national championship. The 2014 team is the one that got the job done.
The Commodores finished 51-21 with an everyday lineup that featured four sophomores, two freshmen and a young pitching staff. They beat Virginia in a three-game College World Series finals.
Second baseman Dansby Swanson was the CWS Most Outstanding Player after being limited to 11 games as a freshman because of injuries.
The title came a year after the Commodores set an SEC record with 26 conference wins and were the No. 2 national seed. But that team lost in super regionals to Louisville.

An underground city is a network of tunnels that connect buildings, most commonly in the downtown of a city. They might include office blocks, train and metro stations, shopping malls and a lot of other attractions.
I now that everyone has heard tales about people that live in abandoned caves or tunnels, and there are not only tales. A lot of poor people live in abandoned places without home, but I shall not go far from my topic for today. My topic was to present you some amazing underground cities in U.S. of America that are worth visiting. Some of these are called underground wonders of America, but I leave the judgments to you whether they deserve to be named so or not.
Portland – Shanghai Tunnels
Portland, as one of the largest cities on the West Coast of the United States, has a huge network of underground tunnels, businesses and former homes. The tunnels are located beneath Chinatown where were used to transport goods and people, and because of that they have earned the nickname "Shanghai Tunnels". Because of bad talks for Portland, such as kidnapping men for forced labour aboard ships, this giant underground city gained notoriety as the worst place on the West Coast of U.S. the Shanghai Tunnels is also known as the Forbidden City and is believed to have been used for lots of illegal activities.
Oklahoma – The Underground
The Metro Conncourse is an underground tunnel system located under Oklahoma City and connects almost all downtown buildings in a 20 square-block area. It is one of the most extensive all-enclosed pedestrian systems in America, extending three-quarters of a mile and connecting over 30 downtown buildings by skyway or tunnel. The original Conncourse was built in 1931, but the whole system was extended in the 70s. In 2006, the city was renamed the Underground after the second extending. The architect Rand Elliott has turned the Underground into a "walk-in work of art".
New York – Empire State Plaza
New York has one of the biggest underground cities in America named Empire State Plaza that connects several government buildings to the Egg, the Corning Tower, the NY state Library, the NY State Museum, many judicial offices and others. The city that dates from 1960s contains banks, restaurants, retailers, food courts, a police station, a bus station and a Visitor's Center. The Empire State Plaza features works from the NY School of abstract modern art from the 60s and 70s and the Art Collection consists of 92 large-scale paintings, tapestries and sculptures at various locations along the main corridor.
Idaho – Capital Mall Complex
Idaho's Capital Mall Complex is located in the downtown of Boise, consisted of a large system of networked tunnels that connect all the state buildings. This underground city boasts a banking system, parking, a geothermal power plant, extensive dining areas, a dedicated mail room for the Capita Mall Complex and a fallout shelter. The Capital Mall Complex' main hall is decorated with works of art from local artists and this collection has a limited access. Local people tell stories that the Capital Mall Complex might be connected to the original Chinese underground tunnels that were used so Chinese immigrants could move goods to buildings, travel after curfew and smuggle opium, but there is no evidence to prove these rumors as true.
Atlanta – Underground
Atlanta, Georgia's "Underground" actually represents the original surface level of downtown Atlanta. Atlanta's present streets are in fact raised roadways that were built in the 1920s. There is a shopping center called "Underground Atlanta" that covers six city blocks and there is many retail shopping and restaurants. It started with work in 1968 and re-opened in 1989 after a financially forced closure.

The Mardi Gras has crumbled. Does this mean the end of a life where being gay means being "out there"? Author Robert Reynolds reports.
Let's begin with Matt — tall, handsome Matt, with the wicked glint in his eyes. At 29, Matt has a roughish air that sets him apart from the manicured masculinity of your average Oxford Street habitues. Matt works out regularly at the gym, lifting impossibly heavy weights that belie his angular build. As Matt and I chat under the lateral pull-down machine, men glide by, discreetly, but not too discreetly, checking each other out. It is late February and I ask Matt if he intends going to the parade and party that mark the end of Mardi Gras. "God no," he snorts derisively, "that's way too gay."
"Too gay?" I inquire.
Matt smiles, aware of the irony, and explains. "Look, it's not that I'm not attracted to men. Obviously I am. It's just that I don't particularly want to define myself as gay.
"You know, 20 years ago, gay men had dinner parties where they sat around and called each other Barbara and Margaret. Ten years ago, if you were gay, every Saturday night you would head out to a bar on Oxford Street. And now," Matt shrugged, finally including himself, "now, we just go to clubs where the music is good."
Matt's no historian, and he is probably too young to remember that 20 years ago, gay men wore beards fuller than his. Matt's detachment from a gay identity and community may well reflect a wider cultural sentiment, particularly among the young.
Thirty years after gay liberation swept into Australia, the question needs to be posed: is the idea and practice of gay life losing its appeal and its constituency? Is "gay", in fact, passe?
The troubles that have beset Mardi Gras show that Matt is not alone in his detachment from gay life. While the president of the AIDS Council of NSW, Adrian Lovney, might declare that Mardi Gras is "absolutely central to gay and lesbian life in this city, this state and this country", the indifference of men and women like Matt suggests otherwise.
"Indifference" could be putting it too mildly for some. "It's been circling the plughole for ages," Paul, a gay, 34-year-old inner-city cook tells me. "Let it go down." Asked if he'll miss Mardi Gras, he laughs incredulously. "Miss a bunch of old people, running around like school prefects, telling me how to be gay? It's a short French word that means happy. They should look it up."
Similarly, Jules, a 38-year-old Melbourne lesbian, is finding it hard to muster any grief. "No great loss," she says, sipping on a cocktail in a chic, inner-city bar. "I nearly wore through the soles of my Blundstones trying to find another lesbian at last year's party."
But for every Matt, Paul and Jules there is another gay man and lesbian lamenting the demise of Mardi Gras, and ready to defend passionately the idea of gay. Often they are veterans of political and social struggles, the activists who fought for the acceptance many of us now take for granted.
Engage some older activists in a discussion about gay politics and the prevailing sentiment is bewilderment, if not betrayal, at the creeping stultification of gay and lesbian life in Sydney. Repeatedly, an overcommercialisation of gay life is nominated as the culprit, as if late capitalism has sucked the life force out of homosexuality.
Despite the attempts to make homosexuality the natural ally of Marxism, socialism, feminism, anti-racism, anti-globalisation and any combination of the above, for your average homosexual punter the most significant achievement of gay life has been an improvement in self-esteem.
The loudest cries of disappointment are not from the left, but from those for whom being gay is all. It is the men and women who pin their own self-development on the evolution of Mardi Gras, from street protest to international extravaganza, who are most at risk. It is not simply an event that is crumbling, but an established, familiar and successful way of life. Or so it is feared.
There is a danger in overstating a generational divide. Amid calls for emergency measures and re-engaging the community, one middle-aged man at a Mardi Gras meeting concluded: "And if all that fails, if it's not wanted or needed, let it go."
Nor does the demise of Mardi Gras necessarily equal the end of gay.
Take Liam, a 24-year-old lawyer, recently moved to Sydney from interstate. Like a kid let loose in a candy store, he fills me in shyly on his weekend adventures at gay clubs. When I run my "end of gay" thesis by Liam, he looks at me quizzically. Who would want to end his weekly party?
Liam's enchantment with gay Sydney suggests that activists have it half-right. The large, commercial, gay scene in Sydney makes Mardi Gras less integral to the lives of men like Liam, although he admits a sense of sadness at the festival's collapse.
Declining ticket sales at the large parties pointed to this development. Where once there were a couple of big gatherings yearly, the market has splintered into niche events, each attracting their own particular version of gay - from lycra to leather.
You might say that being gay has become a victim of its own success. But, as the years have passed, and gay and lesbian life evolved confidently and remoulded the mainstream, that sense of oppression, and the communality it engendered, has drained away. Were it not for the catastrophe of AIDS, which wrote new chapters of homosexual beleagueredment, this might have happened earlier.
So it is not just the future of Mardi Gras that is in question. It's also the familiar story of being gay. At the launch of this year's festival, the organisation's president outlined the tasks that remained: age of consent laws, the equal recognition of homosexual relationships, IVF discrimination. All legitimate points, but it was hard to feel oppressed on a balmy, Sydney evening with the scent of marijuana in the air.
A twentysomething man told me he was attracted to the gay community not by a list of grievances, a manifesto of rights, nor even a celebration of identity, but the spirit that you could be whom you wanted to be and hang the rest of the world.
Elizabeth, an academic in her late 30s, agrees. "What I can't abide," she says, "are these women who swan around saying 'Look at me, I'm special, I'm a lesbian'. Quite frankly, I need a better reason to check them out. To be honest, I think I just like smart women. And if men were a little smarter, I'd think about heterosexuality."
There is paradox here. The greater the capacity to lead an unremarkable gay or lesbian life the less individuals may need to define themselves as such.
This isn't a new question. But it is a style of homosexuality, unapologetic yet unremarked, that is becoming more viable. It is also the culmination of the early politics of gay liberation, which stressed the individual's ability to remake the self and predicted the end of the homosexual and the heterosexual, albeit within a socialist utopia. Capitalism, however, has proved cunningly and creatively conducive to the project of remaking the self. And if the original logic of gay was one of reinvention, then how could gay itself remain impervious?
"I'm torn on this one," Bridget muses as we discuss the end of gay life. "In some ways, since Lucy, I've never felt more like a lesbian," she reflects as she suckles her 10-week-old daughter. "I'm constantly having to alert people to my sexuality now that I'm a mother. In the world of infant care, it is just assumed my partner is a man, which Marion certainly isn't.
"In terms of the people I know and care about, being a lesbian is absolutely irrelevant," says Bridget. "It's background stuff. The people I identify with most are other couples with young children, regardless of sexuality. But when people assume I'm married, I'll assert my lesbianism, not because I care what they think, but because I don't want to feel like an actor in my own life."
Paradoxically, this quest for personal authenticity can both support and undercut gay and lesbian life. Call it the postmodern task of creating meaning through a jumble of identities, relationships and circumstance. Increasingly, people such as Bridget, Elizabeth, Matt and Paul are reluctant to nail their colours to one identity, preferring to move freely among many.
German sociologist Ulrich Beck has written of "zombie categories" - ways of life and identities that are dead yet still alive in contemporary, Western society. He nominated the traditional family as one example.
Beck didn't have gay or lesbian in mind when he coined the term; indeed gay is often viewed as a fresh, postmodern identity.
No doubt, something will emerge from the ashes of Mardi Gras, and an invigorated politics of sexuality may follow. But in this age of splintering identity, it will need to be a politics and culture more attuned to the idiosyncratic ambitions of the self. In the meantime, gay and lesbian life is looking tarnished and tired. Not quite dead man walking, but yes, perhaps a touch of the zombie.

Harbour Bridge crossing & Manly Beach
03.08.2010 - 03.08.2010
View Simon & Michelle Down Under on cooneys's travel map.
G'day mates!
It certainly had turned stormy overnight – woke up to the news that there had been an unexpected level 2 tropical storm during the night with winds of 130 km/hr! The weather forecasters hadn't predicted it at all – shows they are also as useless as Frank Mitchell.
After a cloudy, windy start the weather improved today and it ended up quite sunny. We went for a walk through the Botanical Gardens, saw the Opera House and walked over the Harbour Bridge. While crossing we could see people hundreds of feet above our head doing the bridge climb – from ground level they were so high up they looked like ants. A bit too scary for me! We then caught a cab to Manly Beach which was really chilled out. I think the Aussies saying about Manly is "Only seven miles from Sydney, but a million miles from worry". That sums it up pretty well.
Later we took a rather choppy ferry back into Sydney and it was nice sailing into Sydney harbour past the Opera House and bridge.
After a quick stop in a pub, we went for a cocktail at the Blu Horizon bar situated on the 36th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel. What a view!! We had £13 cocktails and looked down onto the Bridge and Opera House as day turned into night and watched all the lanes of commuters drive over the bridge. It was pretty special. We then hit a steak house and then went for a drink in Kings Cross area which is very seedy to be honest and in total contrast to the Shangri La – we saw hookers, strippers, cops searching people for drugs, kebab shops – it's the main backpacker area and was like the worst parts of Soho. We had heard people rave about the nightlife there – but we thought it was a dive.
We now head briefly to Byron Bay and then Surfers before spending the weekend in Brisbane so it may be a few days till the next update.
What I've discovered in Sydney
1.No-one drinks Fosters
2.Everyone is Chinese (perhaps a slight exaggeration but at least 1 in 4 and most tourists)
3.Aussie barmen are the friendliest and most chatty in the world
4.Everyone does say "mate"
5.While everyone is so proud of their British roots (e.g. street nearby called Castlereagh street) their approach to how they report the news and show sports etc is much more American

No, nothing like that. Node1 has a database. Let's say that pg_data is on /dev/sda and the database hasa tablespace on /dev/sdb. node1 fails. /dev/sdb is actually a SAN volume, and can fail over to another node, node2. /dev/sdb2 also has non-postgres data that node2 needs. When the failover happens, node2 uses the non-postgres data and leaves the postgres data alone. node1 restarts. Postgres restarts and, as long as it doesn't refer to the /dev/sdb tablespace, my understanding is that everything is OK. Eventually, /dev/sdb fails back to node1, and at that point references to the tablespace on that volume should work. (Why not give postgres its own volumes? Long and not very interesting story.) None of this is implemented -- I'm checking out the issues here as part of a design task. I'm not using autovacuum, and the only other issue I've turned up is references to the tablespace on /dev/sdb from the WAL. Morris

Morgan Stanley Wealth has hired finance industry stalwart Sean Cooney to head product sales as it seeks to ramp up its presence in Australia.
Mr Cooney will report to the division's boss, Brendan Goffinet, and become a member of the Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Australia Management Committee, according to an internal memo obtained by The Australian Financial Review. He will be based in Sydney.
Mr Cooney has been in the finance industry for more than 25 years, having worked through the 1990s as an equity analyst (small caps and building materials) and a fund manager, the memo noted. More recently, he worked for Commonwealth Bank of Australia in corporate banking, developing the service and sales model for staff and establishing the Commsec small-cap team.
"Sean brings a vast range of experiences to our business and he will play a key role in aligning our products and services over the coming years to ensure that we deliver on our stated objective," Mr Goffinet said in the memo. Morgan Stanley Wealth is targeting a market-leading position in the competitive private client adviser and wealth management space, by introducing a broader range of products.
Mr Goffinet was brought in to steady the ship in Australia, following a high turnover of chief executives in the wealth business in recent years.
Mr Cooney's LinkedIn profile shows he consulted to Morgan Stanley Wealth for a period of eight months in 2010. It says he also leads SBC Investments.
The memo stated that Mr Cooney will be responsible for product and service offerings. Among those are managed (fe-based) products, financial planning and margin lending.
Stephane Cooper, Alan Henderson, Nigel Singh, Zoran Novakovic and Gordon Anderson will report to Mr Cooney, according to the memo.

Still struggling for last minute gift ideas? Check out some of my personal favorites below, and put your shopping worries aside. Warning: if you are related to me, you might want to stop reading this post until after Christmas.
- For the coffee lover in your life (aka My Dad), put together an assortment of fantastic caffeine-themed goodies. My picks would be a bag of Sightglass or Four Barrel Coffee, a gorgeous Bee House ceramic dripper & filters to match, plus a magazine like Meatpaper, or Culture, to peruse while enjoying their coffee break.
- Not a coffee fan? Try a tea themed gift with our delicate Red Blossom Teas. They come ready to gift in beautiful red canisters. Pair that with a Bee House teapot or Red Blossom tea cup, add a jar of Bi-Rite Sonoma Honey, and you're good to go!
- I find that alcohol works well as a gift for almost anyone in my family- one of my current favorites is giving a bottle of Mitchter's Bourbon, a bottle of Carpano Antica Vermouth, and a jar of decadent Luxardo cherries. These three ingredients will make anyone into a Manhattan lover.
- This year, my older brother will be receiving a pasta kit, which is perfect for sending long distance: a bag Rustichella Pasta (the Casareccia is hands-down the best dried pasta I've ever tried), a jar of capers, Pomi tomatoes, a generous hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano, anchovies, a bulb of garlic, and a few little Baci balls to end the meal. I wrapped it all up inside a Bi-Rite cotton shopping tote, and I have to say I'll certainly be assembling this gift again in the future. I would have also added a bottle of Olive Oil, perhaps the Katz Olio Nuovo, if I hadn't been paying for shipping!
- My Grandmother always makes beans for New Years, saying they're good luck, so she'll be getting a copy of the wonderfully useful Rancho Gordo Heirloom Beans Cookbook. I've also picked out a few bags of dried beans to include in the package (I'm doing the Cannellinis and the Eye of the Goat beans), plus their unique Crimson Popping Corn. I'm sure she's going to love it.
Good luck on your gift giving, and remember to ask us if you need recommendations or help!
Have a warm and healthy holiday,

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A jury is now deliberating the guilt or innocence of a South Florida teenager accused of savagely kicking and stomping a 15-year-old girl outside a middle school.
The six-person jury went behind closed doors Monday morning following the five-day trial last week of 17-year-old Wayne Treacy.
Prosecutors are seeking a conviction for attempted first-degree murder in the March 2010 attack on Josie Lou Ratley, who suffered permanent brain injuries.
Treacy seeks acquittal by reason of insanity. Mental health experts testified that Treacy suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder because of his brother's suicide a few months before the attack.
Ratley made a reference to the brother's death in a series of increasingly insulting and vulgar text messages with Treacy.
If convicted of attempted murder, Treacy faces a maximum 50-year prison sentence.

london! and to be more specific, london in winter. to be cozy in a pub near a roaring fire, watching the snowflakes falling silently down on oxford street. seeing the twinkling christmas lights stretched across the street to selfridges. mittened hands clutching mulled wine in covent garden. ice skating in front of a palace. escaping the chilly wind by stepping inside an art gallery, pink cheeks and noses warming up alongside masterpieces.
i love and miss london all the time, and it has totally become my happy place, my daydream place. my memories are so fond: fresh out of a college so i had a job where learning --not stress or responsibility-- was the key. a time when it was normal to spend 50 pence on dinner {a little shepherds pie from tesco} because my group of giddy girlfriends and i were saving up to go to paris that weekend. the excitement of meeting people from literally all over the world, becoming lifelong friends with them.
today's daydreaming had me looking at flights and wondering if i could duck out of work for a few days for a little jaunt to my favorite place in this world. ;)
what is your happy place?

I'd like to meet someone who is creative. It's probably because I am a technically minded person and hang out with those types all day at work and I'm just looking for something different. That isn't to say I don't value intelligence because that's important too. I want to meet someone who knows where they stand on issues, can communicate it (nicely), but also understands the other side of the argument. I would not want to meet someone who knows more about Kim Kardashian's life than what's going on in congress. Finally, I'd like to meet someone who is a good listener (sorry, that's cliched). Someone who seeks to understand and not just waiting 'til I'm finished talking so they can say their own part.
The particulars of my engineering work are something I cannot talk about.
Movies - The Matrix, Blues Brothers, Star Wars, Airplane, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Naked Gun, James Bond, The Dark Knight
TV - Seinfeld, Simpsons, Futurama, Arrested Development, Mythbusters, MST3k
Music - Oldies, 60s, 70s, 80s, classic rock, christian rock, instrumentals, movie themes, video game music
Games - Dominion, Settlers of Catan, Telestrations, Monopoly, Card games, Volleyball, Softball, Tennis, Soccer, PC gaming, PS3, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Diablo 3, Mario Kart
(I would have said family, friends, laughter, respect, sleep, and God but then again, it's too typical an answer.)
If I wasn't, I would be playing indoor soccer.
You know where I won't be Friday night? At a bar or dance club.
One time at a museum, the museum curator was talking about sharks to a group of children, myself included. He said, "Does anyone know what kind of animal a shark is?" That's when I blurted out, "A dog!"
My dad was so embarrassed.
Do you possess a lot of creativity?
Do you prefer to play games rather than watch them?
When you watch a bad movie, do you like to talk over the movie and imitate the bad acting?
Do you like to turn mundane, everyday tasks into little games?
Are you confident enough to make fun of yourself and act silly at times?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, send a message and we'll see just how far this rabbit hole goes.

Editor's note: See our interview with Lars Walker here.
Troll Valley is not your grandmother's fairy tale, though it might be your great-great-great-grandmother's fairy tale. From the official synopsis:
Chris Anderson has everything. He's the son of the richest family in town. He lives in a beautiful, loving home. He even has a fairy godmother. Chris Anderson also has nothing. He was born with a deformed arm, and when he gets angry he sees visions that terrify him. At the turn of the Twentieth Century, in a nation wrestling with faith and science, tradition and change, Chris will be forced to confront his own nature, and learn the meanings of freedom, love, and the grace of God.
If that sounds like a bold vision for a simple and relatively short work of fiction, it is. But Lars Walker pulls off what few authors can. Especially for an essentially Christian story. Most of what occupies the Christian Fiction shelf of your local bookstore is sappy, awkward, or just poorly written (like the screenplay of some shmaltzy Hallmark Channel movie). The "Christian Fiction" of Lars Walker is anything but that. His series of novels about the conversion of the Vikings in the 11th-century is dark, gritty, and often bloody. Troll Valley is a bit tamer (which makes sense, given the lack of Vikings), but it packs the same deep emotional punch. You will be instantly drawn in, and you won't want to stop until the story's resolution.
Part of that is due to Walker's writing ability. He spends a good chunk of the first third of the book describing life and work on a farm in Minnesota, including extended passages just describing food, without ever losing the reader's interest. Walker also has the fascinating ability to be witty, even humorous, while dealing with the darker aspects of life and the human condition.
And then of course there's the fairy part of the tale. As in his previous novels, Walker grounds the fantastic elements of the story in such solid realism that he can suddenly blindside you with the supernatural without ever pulling you out of the story or inviting your disbelief. Walker also draws his fantasy from ages past, especially the Norse traditions, rather than the post-Andrew Lang and post-Disney fairy tales that most modern folk now think of. Early in the story, Christian's fairy godmother (yes, fairy godmother) tells him the tale of "Snow White Rose Red" (a retelling of Snow White, of course), which is as hilarious as it is twisted. Not even Santa Claus is safe from Walker, whose true nature as a powerful Norse spirit is revealed. Finally, the book's primary antagonists are a group of tiny bearded creatures in red hats (called "red caps"). While that description doesn't sound particularly frightening, I'm sure, Walker manages to create several intensely menacing scenes with these odd characters (ruining my childhood at the same time).
Near the end of the novel, a character stands up in front of his church and delivers what amounts to a mini sermon on the relationship of faith and works, the Law and the Gospel. In any other work of Christian fiction, this sort of thing would be forced and awkward, quite literally preachy. Not so in Troll Valley. Not only did Walker fully earn this moment, but executed it perfectly. For a Christian reader, it was a powerful and satisfying moment.
At this point you might be asking, "How can a book filled with fairy godmothers and evil little Norse spirits also have powerfully Biblical and evangelical themes?" Excellent question!

It won't be long before the quiet flavors and aromas of the autumn season gradually give way to the miracle and meaning of Christmas. That can only mean one thing: it's time for the Dominican Sisters of Peace Annual Mission Bazaar in Great Bend, Kansas!The Dominican Sisters of Peace in Great Bend host their famous Annual Mission Bazaar on Saturday, November 10th, from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Motherhouse, 3600 Broadway in Great Bend, Kansas. The aroma and magic of this festive autumn, pre-holiday excursion includes beverage and coffee cake in the morning, soup and pie for lunch, hundreds of handcrafted and homemade items, two drawings for prizes, unique gift theme baskets, and a silent auction. The SPIRIT of the people on this day is a spirit of friendship and enjoyment all through the house. People are having a cup of coffee or juice and just sitting and visiting, or eagerly finding their treasures among the items for sale. Even though things are very busy this day, it seems that it is still a day to enjoy each shopper, renew acquaintances, and feel the excitement of the season.Arriving in central Kansas in 1902 to provide education and healthcare for the early settlers, the sisters relied on their own resources to pay for their ministries and for a Motherhouse where they could live. They began to sell hand-crafted and homemade items, along with a hot meal. Today, the tradition continues. Sisters, Dominican Associates, employees, family members, and friends work on sale items throughout the year. By the time the second Saturday in November arrives, there is such an array of goods that repeat customers line up to stream into the auditorium even before the doors open. The Sisters are always in awe of the all people who join them in the work of making the bazaar a success People donate items for sale throughout the year, and people and volunteer youth are here to help the weekend of the bazaar with the baking, serving the meal, assisting customers, and speeding up the clean-up. The Dominican community appreciates their generous participation so much.

Last minute birthday cruise: Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by slick's still cruzin
Overall Member Rating
Last minute birthday cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
We stayed the night before the cruise in the Garden District in New Orleans, which was very nice. We had no trouble driving to the port the next morning. Parking at the pier for 5 nights is $80.00 plus tax. The check-in process is very simple and does not take much time at all. We were sitting on Lido Deck by 11:15 and eating lunch. We dropped our bags off at our room by 1:15 and were pleasantly surprised that we had a handicap room. The bathroom was so much More larger than the regular bathrooms.
It's so nice not to have to take the life vests to the safety drill and this time the weather was not as hot as usual. Now our vacation begins. Since we have sailed on the Triumph before, we had no problem getting around on the ship. We selected "Any Time Dining" for the first time, but we did not care for it. We will go back to dining at 6:00 from now on. We never had to wait to be seated, but you never had the same waiter and we never saw any of the dancing and singing the waiter did. I guess you live and learn.
We went to a couple of the shows, which were very good. The "Punchliner Club" was really funny and we enjoyed most of the karaoke. One day I purchased a "white chocolate cake" from the cafe on Deck 5 for $2.25, which is one of the best desserts that I have ever eaten.
We docked in Progreso and took the free shuttle into town. We shopped at the open market and found a few good deals. We walked a couple of blocks to the beach and had a 45 minute massage for $20.00, which felt so good. We walked across the street to have a light lunch and a few beers before we took the shuttle back to the ship.
We shopped in Cozumel that morning and went back to the ship for lunch and to rest for a little while. We walked back down the long pier and got a beach chair beside "Fat Tuedays" and had a nice frozen drink. We really enjoy relaxing on the little beach right there at the port.
Since we were doing self-assist, we were instructed to be ready to disembark at 6:45. We arrived at the designated place at 6:30 and were leaving the ship at 6:40. This is the quickest and smoothest time we have ever had disembarking.
I have already booked out next cruise on the Conquest for the end of October. Surely during this time there will not be 1000 school age kids screaming and running all the time!!! Less

A few post-game notes following the Penguins' 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final:
1. G Marc-Andre Fleury, Penguins: So far, he's been the best goalie in either conference final.
2. D Philippe Boucher, Penguins: Putting his best foot forward (pun SOOO intended) in the playoffs.
3. RW Miroslav Satan, Penguins: Miro, Miro on the wall; who has five points in his past six games?
*DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT: Penguins C Evgeni Malkin – you know, the guy so many folks think can play so much better – has recorded 21 points in 14 playoff games. He totaled 22 points in 20 playoff games in 2008.
Yep, 'Geno' is rotten to the core lately with nine points in a four-game streak.
If we're going to credit C Sidney Crosby for recording points even when he's not at his best – as many have after he finished third in scoring during the regular season despite a slow start (by his standard) – shouldn't we also praise Malkin for doing the same?
Crosby is the playoff MVP favorite right now; but would anybody be shocked if Malkin finished atop the playoff scoring list presuming the Penguins reach the Cup final?
STATISTIC THAT SHOULD INTEREST YINZ: The Penguins are 5-3 over the past three playoff season in series openers. They've not lost a series they started with a victory.
"For a lot of the night, we were looking for a better option. They did a good job getting in the shooting lanes, taking away the first option. We were slow moving the puck to open up other lanes."
Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice, after Game 1
I'm starting to wonder if the Penguins' team defense has hit a peak-level. Considering the limited chances – by his standard, anyway – afford Capitals LW Alex Ovechkin over the final five games of a second-round series and taking into account Maurice's assessment from Game 1, is it possible that Penguins coach Dan Bylsma's originally stated-theory – that the best defense is a puck-controlling offense (not a direct quote) – is rounding into measurable form before our very eyes?
Yinz know the drill, dear readers. Send your thoughts via e-mail.

The Honda CR-V has a modern aerodynamic look, with sweeping lines, exciting body sculpting, and a dramatic profile. It has enough attitude and ability to get you around town and then tackle the open road and the great outdoors. The CR-V comes equipped with a 2.4-Liter i-VTEC 4-Cylinder engine with 185hp and a Continuously Variable Transmission. It has a rigid unit-body structure, coupled with taut suspension tuning, which give it impressive handling characteristics. For ultimate 4-season security, the CR-V is available with Honda's Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System that smoothes out initial acceleration and can transfer up to 100% of torque to the rear wheels. The CR-V is very fuel-efficient and can get up to an EPA estimated 33 MPG Highway when in two-wheel drive. Hit the green ECON button, and the vehicle makes adjustments to its systems so they can be more efficient. Then you get feedback as you drive from Eco Assist to let you know how efficient your driving is. Honda has placed bars around the speedometer, and the longer you keep them in the green, the farther you can go on a tank of gas. The 5-passenger CR-V is extremely roomy inside, with a rear seat that accommodates adults and a proper-sized cargo area. Special attention is paid to driver comfort, with supportive front seats that flank an accommodating center console punctuated by two big cup holders. A large covered center stow bin houses USB and auxiliary inputs as well as a 12-volt power point. Available lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control add to assisted features. Finally, its large single-piece liftgate, coupled with a significantly lower lift-over height, eases loading and unloading chores. All conditions subject to credit approval.

This book cuts through the myths we've been taught- if you change your dance, he'll have to change his. I wanted to know hard facts: statistically, will he change,or will it be enough; what am I doing that is causing it, is it possible do do anything different to prevent it; what is in his wiring causing him to act like he does. This book offers resourses to help the abused woman get out safely and insight into what behaviors to watch for. I have read any number of boundaries books that want me to believe that if I change he will. They are not talking about the selfish, abusive male who has a conciously thought out plan to crush his mate.Read More
This book clearly opened my eyes and that of my lawyer, judge and local police during my divorce proceedings involving physical & mental abuse. Our community was fortunate to have Mr. Bancroft visit our town and speak. In his book he puts into words what every woman in an abusive relationship knows but questions it to be true. I have given this book to women in abusive situations and to those people involved in rescuing them. It will help you realize you ARE NOT CRAZY and what you feel is real! Read it, recommend it...it will save a life, it did mine!Read More

Four countries and two territories have won preliminary approval to have Internet addresses written entirely in their native scripts as early as this summer.
Rules are being developed to make sure that addresses in either script go to the same Web sites. Since their creation in the 1980s, Internet domain names such as those that end in ".com" have been limited to 37 characters: the 10 numerals, the hyphen and the 26 letters in the Latin alphabet used in English. Technical tricks have been used to allow portions of the Internet address to use other scripts, but until now, the suffix had to use those 37 characters.
