Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Possession' Takes Over
This stagnant post-Summer weekend was the perfect time and place for 'The Possession,' After all, September is where many movies go to die, so isn't it an appropriate place for a horror movie? With no new competition, it wasn't a question of whether or not the film was going to grab the number one spot, but how much it was going to make while doing so.
Michael Phelps Goes Reality TV…on the Golf Channel!?
Michael Phelps is a bonafide star. In addition to being one of the best athletes in history and the United States' crown jewel at the Olympic games, the world's greatest swimmer is also humble, funny, sweet and a just a joy to watch in those post-competition interviews. With his retirement from professional competition pending (if you had as many gold medals as him, you'd consider giving a rest, too), Phelps plans to stay in the spotlight, but in a completely different capacity. How's the Golf Channel sound?

text: Notes from a fresh install of Friday Aug 17 snapshot: Wrong paths for some apps: The printer setup wizard didn't work because it couldn't find cups. ("Unable to restart print server. Error message received from manager: Unable to find a running CUPS server.") But actually cupsd was running. Some PBIs, that I re-installed from a second hard drive after installing the snapshot, also couldn't start up from their desktop icons. In these icons' properties, the Command action appeared as /usr/local/bin/appname, while the Work Path was /Programs/AppnameDir/appname. After I changed the Command action to /Program/..., several of these did start up and work normally. But others continued not to work. These included GQView, Scribus, Nvu, Audacity, Helix Player and xmms. (Note: Audacious compiled easily from ports, caused less trouble and is generally an improvement over xmms.) Other PBIs had no trouble with any of this. Network Settings Wizard: This showed my Atheros 5212 card and scanned for wifi access points. But there are five of them in the building, and the wizard limits itself to showing the first 8 characters of each name. The router I need is one of three that have names that are the same within the first 8 characters. The other two are named differently than the first three, but both of them also have the same first 8 characters. This limitation in the wizard should be easy enough to fix. The Network Settings wizard also doesn't show the channel numbers, which would help in identifying the correct router. The wizard also displayed the same key string that I used for my first try (which turned out to be the wrong one), pre-filled in for me for every one of the others, making it impossible to use that to identify which one I had tried to configure earlier. The wizard also doesn't show which access points are operating at 54M or 11M, although ifconfig itself does. It would be helpful to parrot more of the information from ifconfig onto the wizard screen. More USB device woes: An Eratech EVR-500 digital audio recorder did show up and I was able to transfer files to and from it. But after I removed it, the system became unstable after a few minutes. Plugging in my older digital camera's USB cable almost brought the system to a standstill. The usual dialog box asking what to do with a newly recognized device did not appear. When I unplugged it the system became reponsive again. But Firefox could no longer open windows, and apps started from desktop icons would time out and quit instead of coming up. This required a reboot. So far I've tried five of my seven USB devices. Two of them crash/reboot PC-BSD when removed after unmounting, two cause instability and the other one works fine. -rsc

Seven Steps for Better Time Management
Time is the most invaluable resource available with everyone for his/her progress. This is one thing that has been equally distributed to everyone, rich or poor. It is necessary, therefore, to use one's time with discretion and to draw the maximum advantage. First step: the first step for effective time management is that you must understand how you use your time habitually. How much time you spend in each of your activities at home or at workplace. For this you must make your time log for three or four days. This means that right from the time you get up in the morning till youRead More →

The information you really need to sound like a conversation-stopping geek is this: Blu Ray and HD DVD both utilize a BLUE laser which is physically smaller than the light of a RED laser. Hence, the information in the disk can be packaged in smaller pieces thereby allowing more data to fit on the same size disk! Get it?
The results are a lot of fun to see. We learn that HDTV was the inspiration for a successor to standard DVD's which support enough data for standard format televisions. Once you try to digitally compress two hours of high-definition video, you discover that you need 22 Gigabytes of storage space. Even a dual-sided dual-layer DVD can only hold 18 Gigabytes.
Blu-Ray technology was developed in February 2002 to be DVD's successor by a consortium made by companies that include Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson. HD-DVD, on the other hand, was created by Toshiba and recently got support from Microsoft, HP and Intel.
When making the two disk types, the HD DVD makers folowed the measure of DVD where pits and lands, the 0's and 1's of the data, are deeper and farther apart than Blu Ray pits and lands. Also, disks, CD's, DVD's, Blu Ray and HD DVD's keep information rolling in a spiral that begins in the center and runs out to the border of the disk. It's just the opposite as LP records. So Track 1 is on the INSIDE of the disk, not the outside.
With HD DVD spacing pits and lands and the distance between spiral tracks farther, they have less potential to hold as much data. In terms of cost, HD DVD is the clear winner since they're cheaper to produce.
With Blu Ray spacing pits and lands and the distance between spiral tracks closer, they are considerably more delicate. The layers between your Whopper/Cheddar popcorn coated fingers and the pits and lands are thinner since the 0's and 1's are physically closer to the surface.
A single-layer Blu-Ray disc can hold up to 25 GB, while a single-layer HD-DVD disc can hold up to "only" 15 GB. A dual-layer Blu-Ray disc can store up to 54 GB, while a dual-layer HD-DVD can store only up to 30 GB.
Did you know that PORN helped VHS over Betamax? It's true, Betamax was staunchly against adult films being distributed in Betamax. VHS then, became the choice of the hundred-million dollar industry.
Blu-Ray's maker, SONY, is staunchly against adult films being distributed in Blu Ray. Since SONY isn't the only voice for Blu-Ray, there will be some explicit entertainment available. But already, the porn industry has discovered a growing market for movies on HD DVD!

Christchurch, New Zealand (AFP) Feb 26, 2011
For Christchurch mother-of-two Nicky White, the city's deadly earthquake has left no room for delicacy as her family struggles with the basics of everyday life such as finding a toilet.
Much of the city's infrastructure was crippled after Tuesday's 6.3-magnitude shake, which claimed at least 123 lives, forcing White and other residents to rely on their own ingenuity.
White, who has no lawn or garden in her apartment block in the suburb of Woolston, has taken to lining her toilet with a large plastic bag.
"I had nowhere to dig so I put a plastic bag in the toilet bowl and when it starts to fill I tie it up and put it in the rubbish bin," she said, adding that at times "it stinks the house out".
Emergency supplies of portable toilets, food and petrol were being rushed into the city, where more than 62,000 homes have no water supplies and 100,000 properties have lost their connection to the sewers.
As residents battle to bring a sense of normality to their lives, authorities were closely monitoring the health situation in the city.
One of the main concerns has been toilets for people in the most devastated eastern areas, which remain without power and water.
More than 350 people had to be removed from one of the welfare centres housing earthquake refugees because of fears there could be an outbreak of measles or diarrhoea and worries about sanitation.
The city's road network has been clogged with vehicles since the deadly quake as people head to the less affected western suburbs to stock up on food at supermarkets and to drain service stations of petrol supplies.
Civil defence officials said 200 portable toilets had been placed in the city and a further 600 were on their way.
In the suburb of Avonside, one resident -- who has refused to leave her damaged home, which was earmarked to be rebuilt after a 7.0 earthquake last September -- said the portable toilets cannot arrive soon enough.
"I've been using a bucket as a makeshift toilet and buried the contents in the garden," she said.
Christchurch mayor Bob Parker said he knew residents were going through a difficult time.
"This will not get easy in a hurry," he told a media conference.
"The next few days as we try to work as hard as possible on restoring services, we need to ask that you support us with your understanding of what we are doing."
In areas without electricity, residents have fired up their barbecues to use as community kitchens, prompting one energy company to offer free refills of LPG gas bottles.
The line of people at one service station stretched for more than 50 metres (yards) as people took advantage of the offer.
Owner Robert Wales said he was filling a bottle a minute and some of the people arriving were giving him supplies and donations to pass on to people who were struggling.
"Someone gave us NZ$100 ($75), others NZ$10, and I've told them we'll pick out the people who are really affected and give it to them."
Officials said food and petrol supplies were now reaching Christchurch and there was no need to panic buy.
Supermarket manager Justin Blackler said people had been coming from all over Christchurch to his store in the Western districts where they were mainly buying bulk supplies of essential items including food, water, candles.

Over-the-Counter Sleeping Pill
Try it: When you're going through a short period of sleeplessness, like during a stressful time at work.
How to use it: At bedtime, take two tablets that contain diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that makes you feel sleepy (research shows that an excess of histamine in the body may cause insomnia). "The less often you take these pills, the better," says Lisa Shives, M.D., a sleep specialist in Evanston, Illinois. "You can build up a tolerance, and then they won't work as well." (Try Unisom SleepGels; $10 for 32 gel tabs, at drugstores.) Note: Never mix alcohol and sleeping pills.
Good to know: "The older you are, the slower you metabolize this type of drug," says Shives. That means you may experience lingering sleepiness in the morning.

Navigating Champagne … a Festive Tasting in Paris!
By Katherine Parker
payday loans hutchinson ks
The weekend before New Years' I found myself tasting Champagnes in a Paris apartment with a friendly group of wine aficionados. The tasting was put together by Camilla Macfarlane, cheap viagra canada a California expat living in Paris, with a background in the wine industry. Camilla put together a wonderful lineup of Champagnes in the holiday spirit, with generous hors d'oeuvres by Kent Keatinge to highlight the wines.
Six Champagnes – all Brut style from esteemed houses – were on the menu. Brut is a medium-dry Champagne and the most popular style sold today. You may find an Extra Dry (slightly more sugar) or an Extra Brut (slightly less) but most of what you see on the market is Brut. Four of the six were from the region of Reims in France.
The first two were contrasting varietals: A Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut NV made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, and a Philipponnat Brut Grand Blanc made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. I found the Laurent Perrier the most aromatic of all wines poured, with a distinct nose of fresh wild strawberry-raspberry and an appetizing peach color. Little cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches went well with these small bubbles. The wine comes in a plump dark bottle – the green glass indicating the "black" pinot grapes. The curvy shape and pink collar clearly brand this as a feminine wine.
Also, the Laurent Perrier is a Cuvée – a blend of grapes from 10 different villages, all in the Reims region known for Champagne. The wine is
aged for at least 4 years and is 12% alcohol – another thing I enjoy about Champagne.
The Philipponnat comes in a white bottle to indicate the all-white Chardonnay grapes. A small pastry appetizer topped with tiny shrimps was perfect with this creamy, smooth Blanc de Blanc-style wine.
Next Camilla brought out 2 magnums, each a Brut NV blend of all 3 grapes used in classic Champagne: Veuve Clicquot with at least 50% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier grapes, and Taittinger with 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The Taittinger captivated me with crispness and structure based on balanced acidity. That this
wine is a blend of grapes from 35 different "crus" or villages, attests to the winemaking skill of the family-owned Taittinger house.
Drinking from a magnum offers a higher quality wine, because there is less oxygen in the bottle relative to the surface area of the wine. This is also said to favor the creation of small bubbles, which enhance the tactile experience of drinking Champagne.
About this time, we moved on to an appetizer of fish breaded into lollipops, with an apricot-mustard sauce. Whether it was the magnums or the fabulous food and conversation that made the evening so agreeable is hard to say. I think by this time we were all having a great time.
The near-final Champagne was a Ruinart Brut from the same blend of grapes as the Taittinger but made to be even more crisp, acidic and refreshing. The Ruinart undergoes full malolactic fermentation, which is not noted for the Taittinger. Our group thought this might account for the difference between the two wines.
The Grand Finalé was a vintage Dom Perignon 2003 Champagne. I enjoyed the minerality and structure of this taste. The bubbles were the most perfect of the evening – a fountain of tiny bubbles pulsing up from the center of the flute. Paired with beef chili on mini wheat tortilla squares – Mexican with Champagne goes great!
This event was a great opportunity to compare and contrast. I favored the tastes and textures of Ruinart and Taittinger. At the end of the day between the two, it would probably be decided on price. If price were no object, I would go with the Ruinart.
If you are living in Paris, or even if you are visiting like I was, check Camilla's Paris Wine Meetup Group for tasting dates.

[…] (Originally published January 11, 2013 on Simple Hedonisms) […]
Thank you for coming to my event! It was a pleasure meeting you! I have to say, I agree with your Taittinger/Ruinart assesement. Also, I was very happy to have tasted the 2003 Dom Perignon, since that may become a very touted vintage. I look forward to tasting it again in 5 and then 10 years. It was so complex! The next time you are in Paris, I'll be happy to take you to a really fun wine bar!
Thank you for sharing this unique experience. Living near Sonoma seems fabulous enough but reading your tasting notes from the motherland of bubbles made me want to buy real champagne! Now to find a wine shop w these brands. Thanks for enlightening a local palate.
I've always considered wine-tasting to be a fun activity. Okay, it seems so high-end where culture is concerned.

I am a newbie to this wonderful program since joining for the first time this fall. Having been a classroom teacher for 33 + years I appreciate very much the value of such a program Many of our children are products of dysfunctional families and have no stable caring adult in their life . Presently I am a mentor for a 4th grade boy who has experienced a number of losses in his young life. He was depressed and below grade level. An elderly couple mentored him last year and because of their love and care little Johnny made substantial progress. Due to circumstances beyond their control they had to move out of state. I took their place. Little Johnny is up to grade level and is a delightful young man. He communicates well with me and in the 5-6 times we have had together I find him quite creative with a good imagination. He looks forward to our times together and is disappointed when the school schedule interferes with that time. I look forward to each Thurs. afternoon and come away feeling that that hour was well spent.
I have been a mentor for just under a year. However, I have worked with Donna as a school counselor for several years previous to that. I have nothing but positive things to say for this organization. I just wish we could get more mentors to meet the needs of so many students that could use them. As a counselor, I would sometimes hear parents or teachers say that students misbehaved because they were just trying to get attention. I would think they were probably right and so wish that there were someone who could answer their need for attention. As a counselor with all the responsibilities of a school with over 600 students, the mentoring just didn't happen. This organization sets up all the logistics to make the good things happen.
I have had the opportunity to be a volunteer with The Mentoring Network over the past several years and have seen the amazing work that is being done through this program. The mentors and mentees have such an amazing bond and it is obvious that each one plays an important role in the other ones life.
I have been with the Mentoring Network for 12 years now. I have had the pleasure of mentoring 3 young men. I have enjoyed seeing them grow. It's fun to listen to them and learn to trust you so they can share their experiences, hopes, fears, and the future. I have also experienced several summer camps over the years. One of the most rewarding experience was on a challenge course. Seeing the fear they are experiencing , but then watching as they overcome this fear and complete the course.
Also , the leadership at the Mentoring Network is extremely dedicated to the mission of the Network.
I have been a mentor for almost 2 years now, I have a young girl who was very angry and distant. I am so thrilled to see how she has come so far. I went to see her last week and it was wonderful to see her surrounded by friends and laughing and smiling. I know she can have a very bright path with the right choices and I want to help her understand this. Thanks you Donna for this amazing connection.
I have been a mentor for the Mentoring Network for the past 4 years. The leadership at the Mentoring Network is dedicated to improving the lives of the at-risk children in our communities. As I have shown up each week to bring encouragement and love to my kids that I mentor, I have personally seen the changes in their lives. I am very thankful for the opportunity to mentor that is provided by the Mentoring Network.
I have worked closely with the Mentoring Network and Donna Shines. I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing work that is taking place within our community. It is because of people taking time to mentor that we will begin to see less kids drop-out of school, participate in illegal activities. The kids will know their self-worth and understand they are loved beyond measure. So happy to have the Mentoring Network in our community!
I have worked with Donna Shines and the Mentoring Network for approximately 15 years. I first became acquainted with this fantastic program as a classroom teacher and, as an administrator, I recognize the valuable service this organization provides for my students. It started with a young man in my classroom who needed a positive male role model in his life. His mentor stayed with him through high school and into the armed services. I am still in regular contact with this young man, and he attributes much of his success to his mentor, Ray. Throughout my career in education, I've witnessed the powerful transformation of many students who have been able to form bonds with mentoring adults. One student who has bounced from foster home to foster home struggled to form relationships. It took his mentor well over a year to convince him she was not going anywhere and no one was paying her to visit him. Having someone that shows up every week just for him, has given him confidence and strength to handle all the difficult situations that are beyond his control. I could share several stories about this wonderful organization that matches at-risk students with caring adults to form life-long friendships which can be the cornerstone of healthy productive lives. I encourage everyone to join with The Mentoring Network in any capacity whether it be financial support or volunteering time. Together we can make a difference in the lives of children.
The Mentoring Network Inc has provided a great amount of positive experiences and transformations in our school district's students. As an employee of the school district I have been able to witness social and academic growth through this mentoring program. I was so deeply affected by the amazing work The Mentoring Network Inc does that I became a mentor myself. I would highly recommend becoming a mentor with The Mentoring Network Inc to experience the power of mentoring in our students' lives!
The Mentoring Network is the epitome of goodness in Idaho! Bringing caring adults to children in need to give them an opportunity for a positive connection with an adult is something that every child needs. Donna Shines, the MN Board Members and all Volunteers do great things for Idaho!

Eric Fisher, OT (6-7, 305), Central Michigan Don't let the school he attended throw you off base because he played well against some better competition in 2012 and did just fine…Is just as athletic as Joeckel of A&M….is very light on his feet…can mirror andlide with rusher…showed the ability to bend his knees and play with some flex…no problem adjusting to rusher…really does a nice job of playing with leverage…when he gets hooked up on his man, he stays that way…nice on second level…he sees the target and hits the target…nice body control…keeps in position…if he has an issue it is when he sets, he tends to carry his hands too low and not in the ready position to deliver a blow to stop the rushers charge…Baxter of Northern Illinois, Okafor of Texas and Jones of UCLA gave him some trouble because they were able to get on him quickly and it caused him to have to scramble to get his hands inside…right now plays with more strength than Joeckel. Lane Johnson, OT (6-6, 302), Oklahoma In is the line of Joeckel of A&M and Fisher of Central Michigan in how smooth he plays…not much wasted movement or steps….played both left and right tackle in games I studied…is not the most powerful player but impressed how he is able to finish blocks…rarely do you see him on the ground or badly out of position…will at times set play with a wide base because he really doesn't trust his strength…is going to struggle when he has to block a defender one-on-one straight up, but allow him to get on the edge to reach, can more than do the job…like Joeckel will struggle some when he gets bull rushed…Fields of TCU was a handful when this happened….no problem adjusting when a rusher tries to take him wide or to the inside, then the athletic ability takes over http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/a...Linemen-/27acb393-feca-4a29-ad84-16f96540ead7

Surf Summit 15 ended on a bright note Friday, May 18, as the surf industry came together once more to learn from AOL Digital Prophet David Shing. After a morning of catching waves at Cabo Surf's Old Mans, Shing took to the podium with several key takeaways for those looking to enhance their web presence.
"All of us are suffering from 'social fatigue' so we have to be careful with authenticity," says Shing about companies and brands approaching social media strategies. "It's not about the size, it's about the influence —who in your network are you getting to talk about you."
A few places where Shing believes brands "must be" included Pinterest, which has seen more than 1,200% growth per month since its launch, as well as PATH, which he referred to as "the social network of the future." Shing cautioned that individuals are moving away from communities such as Facebook, to more intimate networks made up of like-minded individuals.
"Think of social not as a place you go to, but something you do—a utility, or tool for your brand," says Shing.
As the sunshine faded into a warm Cabo evening, the industry rallied at the beach for dinner, and a special presentation by SIMA Executive Director Sean Smith, awarding Fernando Aguerre with The Dick Baker Memorial Award. Aguerre, who gave a moving speech about his friendship with Baker over the years, segued into a lively discussion between surf legend moderator Martin Potter and fellow legends Keith Malloy, Nathan Fletcher, and Tom Curren. All in all, the night wrapped up with a strong underlying message to keep the surf industry alive by staying united and sharing stories of our culture. Big thanks to SIMA for another successful Surf Summit—see you all next year!

Businesses in the same strip mall as the defunct Foodmart International got power back after more than two days of blackout.
Orange and Rockland Utilities cut off power for the strip mall at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday for nonpayment, leaving business owners there in the dark.
Eusebio Solano, owner of the convenience store at the mall, called The Journal News on Friday afternoon, saying that they were still in the dark.
Anne Penachio, the court-appointed receiver of rents for the strip mall, said she has been diligently negotiating with O&R to reach an agreement.
Shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, Solano called the newsroom again to inform a reporter that the mall got power back.
But he added that he and five other business owners had to come up with $2,000 each to contribute to the deal between the landlord and O&R.

Battle of the Year is an international dance crew tournament that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul Dante (Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a dream team of all the best dancers across the country. With only three months until Battle of the Year, Blake has to use every tactic he knows to get twelve talented individuals to come together as a team if they're going to bring the Trophy back to America where it started.
Inspired by an actual competition in France.

How can we look at this one three innings in?
PITCHING: Oliver Perez has given up two runs on five hits, which would have been a great line after six, not three. I liked that he pitched out of trouble in the first, but not that he let the Cardinals tie it in the third after the Mets took the lead in the top of the inning. Perez needs a couple of scoreless innings to get into his rhythm.
OFFENSE: Carlos Beltran and David Wright went deep, which is an encouraging sign. What I don't like is stranding four runners already. Anthony Reyes is a guy the Mets should handle. He's thrown 81 pitches already in the fourth (with Perez at the plate in a bunt situation) and is lucky to be tied, 2-2.

A few minutes with Alexander McCall Smith
Best-selling author of 'The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency' series talks about Africa, Precious Ramotswe and the writing process
BY TERRY MATHEWS | News-Telegram Arts Editor
Apr. 8, 2007 - By any yardstick, Alexander McCall Smith measures up as quite accomplished.
He is an attorney and was professor of medical law. He has also taught law at the University of Botswana. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Edinburgh's School of Law.
He is the former chairman of the British Medical Journal Ethics Committee, the former vice-chairman of the Human Genetics Commission of the United Kingdom and a former member of the International Bioethics Commission of UNESCO.
On the personal side, McCall Smith is married and the father of two children. He is also one of the founders of The Really Terrible Orchestra, for which he serves as bassoonist.
Add internationally known best-selling author to the list, and you begin to wonder how the Scottish author finds time to breathe.
McCall Smith was born on August 24, 1948, in Rhodesia, where his father served as a public prosecutor.
Although trained in the law, McCall Smith, 58, has also had a life-long passion for writing, writing or serving as co-writer on 12 academic texts.
In 1988, he published the first novel in what was to become the "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, with an initial run of 1,500 copies. The book become a runaway international best seller, with over 2,500,000 copies in print.
The novel introduced the world to Precious Ramotswe, a "traditionally built" woman daring enough to open a business in Botswana's male-dominated society.
Since 1998, the author has released seven subsequent stories revolving around Mma Ramotwse, her competent assistant Grace Makutsi and the man Precious would eventually marry, Mr. J L B Matekoni.
McCall Smith does not limit his fiction to Botswana. He is also the author of the "Professor of Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainments" series, "The Sunday Philosophy Club" series, "The 44 Scotland Street Series," and some 13 children's' books.
Last year, he even carved out enough time to write a small little book called "Dream Angus," which follows the life of the mythic Celtic God of Dreams. The book was one of a series that was created to let well-known authors select a mythological character from their area and write the character's story.
�The Good Husband of Zebra Drive,� the eighth in McCall Smith�s No. 1 Ladies� Detective Agency series, is set for release Tuesday, April 17. (See review below.)
McCall Smith will be promoting "The Good Husband" in a 14-city book tour here in the states, April 17 through May 5. Although the author and his wife have profession and personal ties to Dallas, he's only making one stop in Texas – in El Paso on April 25 – this time around.
McCall Smith took a break from the preparations for the book tour to answer our questions about his most popular series, Precious Ramotswe and the writing process.
News Telegram: How did you find the idea for the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency?
Alexander McCall Smith: I always wanted to write about a woman who lived in Botswana. When I sat down to write about Precious Ramotswe, the idea that she would be a private detective just came out of the blue.
NT: Have you been surprised by the warm reception this series has received? Is it popular in Botswana, too?
AMS: Yes, I have been surprised by the warm reception these books have had. I am delighted that they have been so well received.
The series is popular in Botswana. People seem to like the positive picture that it gives of their country.
NT: The mysteries in this series seem secondary to the characters and everyday life in Botswana. Is that on purpose? Why?
AMS: Yes, these are not mysteries in the in the normal sense. The main point of the books is to talk about the characters and the setting, and about the human qualities of Mma Ramotswe and her friends.
NT: Do your characters come full grown or do they develop as you write? Once they come, do you have control or do they take over with their own agendas?
AMS: Often the characters develop once I have started to write about them. In some cases, they begin to show qualities which surprise me! All sorts of things can happen in fiction which the author has not planned in advance.
NT: Would you please explain the use of 'Mma' before Precious' name and why does she call her husband Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni?
AMS: The word 'Mma' is an honorific used for women in Setswana – it is the equivalent of the French 'madame'.
Mma Ramotswe calls her husband Mr J L B Matekoni because that has always been the name that he has been known to her by.
NT: Who do you read and why?
AMS: I read all sorts of fiction.
I enjoy going back to the classics. At the moment I am re-reading E. M. Forster's "A Room with a View", which is both wonderful and very funny.
I like books which are well written and profound.
NT: What three qualities do you think every writer should possess?
AMS: Every author, in my view, should possess the ability to empathise with other people, to recreate a character's view of the world, and have the ability to put all that down in print.
NT: Take us through a typical day when you're writing.
AMS: When I am writing, I usually start at 8 a.m. and continue until about 11 a.m. Three hours at a stretch is about the longest time I can spend writing.
I sometimes return to my writing later in the evening. I often go away when I am writing a book so that I can complete it without interruptions.
NT: You have spent time in Texas. Do you plan a stop in the Lone Star State anytime soon?
AMS: I have many friends in Texas. I was a Visiting Professor at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas on two occasions, and made very good friends while I was there.
My wife and I are still in touch with friends in Dallas and I always enjoy going there. I will be in El Paso in April, and I hope to be elsewhere in Texas in the not too distant future.
NT: What's next for Mma Ramotswe?
AMS: I will start to write volume 9 in July, and it will be published in the spring of 2008. Mma Ramotswe will continue to run the agency and have her adventures and drink the usual quantities of Red Bush Tea!
Editor's note: Mr. McCall Smith has graciously offered an autographed first edition of "The Good Husband of Zebra Drive" as a door prize for the Hopkins County Butterfly Ball, to be held on Saturday, May 12. We thank him and his able assistant Lesley Winton for their help in securing such a lovely item for the charity event.

Data Sheet
Cisco WebAttendant
Cisco WebAttendant is an application that supports the traditional role of a manual attendant console. Associated with an IP phone, the Cisco WebAttendant application allows the attendant to quickly accept and dispatch calls to enterprise users. An integrated directory service provides traditional busy lamp field (BLF) and direct station select (DSS) functions for any line in the system. The application is Web enabled and, therefore, portable to windows 98, NT, and 2000 platforms. The Cisco WebAttendant is the first of many new IP telephony applications that integrate Old World telephony functions with New World applications and services such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory and HTML services. A primary benefit of Cisco WebAttendant over traditional attendant console systems is its ability to monitor the state of every line in the system and to efficiently dispatch calls. The absence of a hardware-based line monitor device offers a much more affordable and distributable manual attendant solution than traditional consoles.
Key Features and Benefits
Enterprises today may choose to route inbound telephone calls through a number of methods. These methods are either completely automated, manually directed, or some hybrid of automated and manual operation. A separate product, the Cisco Automated Attendant application, can accept inbound calls, query the caller for destination information, and rapidly dispatch the call without operator intervention. Automation of inbound call dispatch is efficient and affordable. Alternatively, many businesses see the benefit of handling each inbound caller through a specially trained and equipped operator. This operator assesses the caller's purpose and intended destination and uses tools to dispatch the call reliably and efficiently. The benefit of such a function is a heightened sense of customer satisfaction and, in many cases, a more reliably dispatched call. The manual attendant console has served as the primary tool for such a function for many years. Old World manual attendant consoles are typically telephone sets with expensive hardware line extender devices on which are located a large number of buttons and lamps. These lamps serve to monitor and indicate the state of assigned telephone extensions (lines). The buttons allow inbound calls destined for those lines to be rapidly selected by the attendant operator and the call dispatched to that line. Administrative and capital cost of such a hardware-based extender device is high. The attendant was also required to know which lines had been statically assigned to the device, an administrative task normally fraught with error.
The Cisco WebAttendant is designed to more efficiently automate both the user operations and the administrative operations of a manual attendant function. The WebAttendant uses a Web-based graphical user interface as the primary means of call handling and line-state monitoring. The software nature of the WebAttendant allows assignment of line-state monitors without the need of physically relabeling extender boxes with each line monitor change. The WebAttendant user interface is shown in Figure 1. The lower half of the display is used as a directory of all users in the system. The line state of each user's primary line appearance is presented with each user record entry. The benefit over Old World consoles and line extenders is that each user's line is monitored, as opposed to monitoring only a select few in an Old World system.
Advanced drag-and-drop capabilities and access to corporate LDAP directories combine to offer key advantages over Old World manual attendant stations. In a system with hundreds or thousands of users, the WebAttendant operator can accept calls and perform directory lookup by selecting the field title in the directory section and typing in the first few characters of the user's extension, last name, first name, or department. A directory search that matches the query is returned. The operator may view the status of the user's line (busy, available) and advise the caller of the line state. The operator may then transfer the call to the user either by initiating a traditional transfer sequence through the transfer function key or by dragging and dropping the call from the selected loop to the desired user's record. The primary benefit of this user interface is quicker transaction time and subsequent customer satisfaction improvement.
Cisco WebAttendant is scalable. Call distribution groups may be assigned to any pilot number, which may in turn be assigned to one or more WebAttendant loops. These loops represent answerable lines in a multiple attendant system. Calls are queued to one or more online attendants' loops, thereby allowing scale and distribution among multiple operators. Multiple WebAttendants may be configured to monitor the same lines, affording scale to multiple operators when conditions require. Equivalent functionality on an Old World system would require the purchase and administration of a line extender device for each operator.
Access to New World directory services and content extends the manual attendant's toolbox for providing efficient, courteous service well beyond the capabilities of equivalent, Old World manual attendant functions.

According to workplace columnist Anita Bruzzese, it's "because they're lazy." Bruzzese says that a talent shortage isn't the problem; letting software automatically weed out most candidates' resumes with nary an eyeball having viewed them, then disqualifying workers that look too old or don't have some indefinable quality—without having asked the kinds of questions that will reveal people who are experienced, smart, creative, and driven—is what's wrong.

Come January, any company that does business in San Francisco will be required by a city ordinance to talk to all workers about workplace flexibility so any given employee will not have to wonder whether it is safe to broach the subject.

Tomatoes are not only pretty, they pop
Long-simmered tomato sauces are just right in winter, when you're looking to spend hours next to the stove in the company of a steaming, bubbling pot. But summer demands something brighter and fresher, dishes that feature the season's ripest produce but do so with minimal cooking time.
A burst cherry tomato sauce fills the bill with panache.
Pasta With Burst Cherry Tomatoes
Fine sea salt and black pepper, as needed
1 pound fusilli pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
6 ounces pancetta, preferably thick cut, diced
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 quart cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons butter
Fresh ricotta cheese, for serving (optional)
3 cups whole mint leaves, torn
4 scallions, preferably red scallions for color, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt, to finish
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until 1 minute shy of al dente. Drain pasta, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking water.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 15 seconds, then add the oil and heat until it thins out and easily coats the pan when swirled. Add pancetta and cook until it starts to render its fat, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until they burst, turn golden at the edges and shrivel up slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add pasta to pan and toss with tomato-pancetta mixture; if the mixture looks dry add a little pasta cooking water a few tablespoons at a time. Cook over high heat until the pasta finishes cooking in the sauce. Add the butter and toss until it melts and coats everything.
Divide pasta among warmed pasta bowls. Garnish with dollops of ricotta if desired, and top with a generous mound of fresh mint and scallions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and more pepper before serving.
Note: If you would like to leave out the pancetta (making the dish vegetarian), toss ∑ cup grated pecorino in the pasta along with the butter.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

There's no question that running a small business, especially a customer-service business, can wear you down. People aren't always easy to deal with, even when we're successful at helping them. Because of that, sometimes it can be hard to get motivated. Fortunately, some clients are incredibly appreciative and friendly, and working with them helps to keep us focused.
Take last week, for example. You would think that getting an urgent assistance call at 3 a.m. on a Sunday would not be the start of an enjoyable interaction, but in this case, it was. The client was on the East Coast and scheduled to connect to a smaller city in the Midwest via Chicago on United. She had been delayed by United for two days due to a combination of bad weather and other issues, and now her morning flight was on a crew delay that was going to cause her to miss her connection yet again. What a mess!
We immediately — or, well, as quickly as possible at 3 o'clock in the morning — jumped into action and found that there was a flight to her destination on American out of Chicago that afternoon. We switched her flight, and she was on her way. Or so we thought.
When the client arrived in Chicago, the gate agents told her that, despite her confirmed reservation, the flight was too full (probably oversold), so they put her on standby. We were livid, so you can imagine how she must have felt. After days of trying to reach her destination, she was exhausted and, of course, confused by what the airlines were doing when they just deleted her confirmed reservation without good reason. She did not make it onto the afternoon flight as a standby passenger, but we luckily found a seat for her on a later one. She finally arrived around the time the sun went down.
The joy in her voice spoke volumes. She was incredibly appreciative of our work. We knew that without our help (or somebody else's), she may have been stuck in Chicago overnight. We love any success story, but it's nice to be able to make someone so happy they're on the verge of tears every so often. It reminds us why we do what we do.

Harry Redknapp says anyone taking over at Chelsea would have to be "dope" not to be successful at Stamford Bridge.
The former Spurs boss faces the Champions League winners tonight at Stamford Bridge with his new QPR side.
Redknapp took over at Loftus Road just three days before Chelsea hired Rafael Benitez as their interim manager.
After a shaky start and a very hostile reception from the Blues fans, Benitez has led the club to wins in their last four Premier League games.
But Redknapp says it's hardly the most difficult job in football.
"He has walked into a squad of players there who are Champions League winners - you've got a chance, haven't you," he said.
"You'd have to be a real dope to mess it up with that group of players - (Eden) Hazard, (Juan) Mata, (Frank) Lampard.
"He's a clever guy. Even in the West Ham game that they lost, they could have been out of sight at half-time."
In comparison, Redknapp inherited a team at the bottom of the Premier League table and odds on for relegation.
"Since I've been here... I think they were all looking to blame each other for the horrendous start, but most have been fine and worked hard," he said.
"We now need to find that little bit of quality somehow that can make the difference to us."
Redknapp admitted he needs to bring in reinforcements if the Hoops have any chance of surviving.
He said: "Our two centre halves have given everything - but they're both 35. No disrespect, but Ryan Nelsen came here as fourth choice. He said he would give it a go for another year and play a few games if needed.
"I took him to Tottenham last year on the same basis. He's been fantastic here, but he's played every game since I got the job.
"Clint Hill has done great - he went out on loan last year to Nottingham Forest and has done a good job. But we're short and need a bit more and I've got to find one or two if I can."

When I reached Heidi Cullen, chief climatologist for Climate Central, she remarked on the glorious weather we were enjoying.
The biggest change from the Romney of 2008, or even of a few months ago, is that he genuinely seems to be enjoying himself.
Prince George and his parents are enjoying their first Christmas in their magnificent country home.
Now is about enjoying the process of realizing personal bests.
As Nathan Heller recently observed in Slate, birds are enjoying a surge in popularity.
It afforded a fine promenade, and they were enjoying the moonlight that fell upon it.
My passengers appeared to be enjoying themselves all the time.
I hope you are enjoying yourself and drawing your per annum with promptness and regularity.
Evidently his work for the day was over, and he was enjoying himself.
While the others are enjoying themselves, the mediums and the hosts are attending strictly to the business in hand.
late 14c., "rejoice, be glad" (intransitive), from Old French enjoir "to give joy, rejoice, take delight in," from en- "make" (see en- (1)) + joir "enjoy," from Latin gaudere "rejoice" (see joy); Sense of "have the use or benefit of" first recorded early 15c. (replacing Old English brucan; see brook (v.)).
Meaning "take pleasure in" is mid-15c. In modern use it has a tendency to lose its connection with pleasure: newspaper photo captions say someone enjoys an ice cream cone, etc., when all she is doing is eating it, and Wright's "English Dialect Dictionary" (1900) reports widespread use in north and west England of the phrase to enjoy bad health for one who has ailments. Related: Enjoyed; enjoying; enjoys.

I think we have to blame Cheeks if we still have so many question marks reguarding Carney
It's true he has to work on the aspects you talk about (reboundig, defense, I would also add FREE THROWS - 60% is horrible for a swingman - and using the left hand) but he should have played more and with more consistency...
he passed from a starter status to several DNP-CDs, that's simply dumb personnel management, especially when your teams plays for... nothing ! he got onlty garbage time minutes also in the second part of the season, when Iguodala, Miller etc were on the court 40+ minutes per night... simply idiotic
I have the feeling this guy got game, next year will be the key for him. But he has to work hard NOW (=offseason)

9. There are 3 entities in the amendment
The state, the militia, and the people.
And it is not the fault of the people if "well-regulated militia" is currently set by Congress to simply be a male age 17 thru 45.

10. so then you have to give up your gun when you turn 46?
there is no argument here- by your 'interpretation' of the 2nd, we can therefore have nukes or sonic plasma guns.
what should the waiting period for lasers and/or light sabers be?
here is something i'll call the nra's 1st commandment-
Let's make sure everyone who has any extra $$ at all buys multiple guns,
Because the gun maker's profits have slowed as we exceed the point of 1 gun for each of the 330 million people in america.
Military rifles are better for hunting small-to-large size game and shooting at paper and beer cans,
and they are also safer because guns aren't dangerous at all, yet at the same time they are scarier, and people will run away from you,
or look at you weird in walmart, but don't worry, because walmart, where you buy your guns, is also dangerous.
So bring your gun when you go there to buy more, and don't hesitate to shoot someone if they make you nervous and get too close.
Maybe just wave the gun at them if they look at you weird, unless you're in Florida, in that case, blast away.
i guess their 2nd would be-
make people as paranoid as possible, about both crime AND losing the chance to buy more of some kinds of guns that they already have.
just admit it, the nra WOULDN'T be happy if there were a BILLION guns in the US- they'd say we are outnumbered by china.

11. If you believe that militia membership is required to own a gun
That would mean that men, and men only, between the ages of 17 and 45 would have the right to own a gun. Women, and men 46+, would only have a privilege, granted and revoked by the state.
The nuke argument is bullshit, and you're plenty smart enough to know it. The only people making it are those that are pro-control. The "public safety" clause, the same one that prevents people from falsely yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater, also applies to destructive devices. That is why full-auto guns, explosive devices, and non-sporting guns over .50 caliber are tightly regulated: they are indiscriminate in their destruction.
And since sonic plasma rifles and light sabers are currently fictional weapons, I can't comment on their legality. If a "sonic plasma gun" fired some kind of energy discharge that exploded matter upon impact, it would probably be illegal. If it stunned or fried a central nervous system upon impact, it would probably be legal.
If a hand-held combat laser ever became practical, it would probably be legal, as it would not be indiscriminate in use. I don't know if it would be more effective than a bullet-firing gun; laser beams don't really have any kinetic energy impact. But I would not expect them to be illegal.
And since you spend your time worry about rifles that are used to kill about 200 people a year, maybe you should consider whether you're paranoid as well.

12. "well-regulated militia" is currently set by Congress to simply be a male age 17 thru 45.
And it is not the fault of the people if "well-regulated militia" is currently set by Congress to simply be a male age 17 thru 45.
if you want to read it literally, women and 46 year olds should be surprised they can't have guns, aren't in the militia, and aren't required to defend the free state.
the nuke argument is supposed to point out that if you take an argument to one extreme, you might want to consider the other as a counterpoint.
The "public safety" clause, the same one that prevents people from falsely yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater, also applies to destructive devices. That is why full-auto guns, explosive devices, and non-sporting guns over .50 caliber are tightly regulated: they are indiscriminate in their destruction.
hoo BOY? whatever happened to 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'?!?!?
how can a gun be indiscriminate in destruction if it is 'just a tool'? just a harmless object?
ANNNND, if people kill people, shouldn't we maybe NOT give them any gun they want? for profit's sake?
also, you are planning on hunting elephants with some sort of 'sporting cannon'?
the 'fire' thing- i'll go with experience here: (from before senate hearing)
Discussing his opposition to President Obamas gun safety plan, Cruz suggested that increasing gun access among poor women in urban neighborhoods could reduce violent crime, argued that an assault weapon ban would be unconstitutional and accused the administration of exploiting the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut to advance a partisan agenda. Schumer, a long-time gun safety advocate fired back. He pointed out that the Supreme Court decision in DC v. Heller established an individual right to bear arms, but gave the government wide latitude to regulate guns:
SCHUMER: Heller also said that there should be reasonable limitations, that theyre allowed reasonable limitations. I dont think that lady needs an assault weapon. I dont think she needs a 100-round clip. I dont think, for instance, that those things would help her in any way. So so to say she has a right to bear arms: yes. To say, just like on the first amendment we say you cant scream fire in a crowd falsely, we have anti-pornography laws, anti-libel laws. There are reasonable limitations. And the NRA [National Rifle Association], in many instances, doesnt believe in any limitation at all. Thats not unconstitutional. That just is dumb.
***(thanks for making me look this next one up. awesome! 7 years ago!)
Maximum pain is aim of new US weapon
The US military is funding development of a weapon that delivers a bout of excruciating pain from up to 2 kilometres away. Intended for use against rioters, it is meant to leave victims unharmed. But pain researchers are furious that work aimed at controlling pain has been used to develop a weapon. And they fear that the technology will be used for torture.
"I am deeply concerned about the ethical aspects of this research," says Andrew Rice, a consultant in pain medicine at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, UK. "Even if the use of temporary severe pain can be justified as a restraining measure, which I do not believe it can, the long-term physical and psychological effects are unknown."
One document, a research contract between the Office of Naval Research and the University of Florida in Gainesville, US, is entitled "Sensory consequences of electromagnetic pulses emitted by laser induced plasmas".
If a hand-held combat laser ever became practical, it would probably be legal, as it would not be indiscriminate in use.
laser beams don't really have any kinetic energy impact. But I would not expect them to be illegal.
people get busted for pointing laser POINTERS at planes. they're gonna hafta loosen up those laws a touch!
better WARN THE NRA!!!
i'm not just worried about ARs and such- a glock pistol with a 33-round mag ($50 for the mag) is THE SAME as an AR, to me. more dangerous because you can hide it.
i'm more worried about the crappy laws, thanks to the nra.
you are the one being paranoid about a gun that you already have and won't be taken away, and selfish about something as trivial (except to innocent people who might get killed) as an extra 5 or 10 or 20 rounds.
it takes a few seconds to change a mag. who really cares what size it is unless you are AT WAR?!?!

14. When used as directed, the effects are indiscriminate
A bullet does not affect anything beside what it is aimed at. A bomb or shell or mine or rocket has a zone of destruction. If I used a grenade to defend myself, the shock wave and shrapnel will randomly fly in all directions. A grenade is indicriminate when it explodes.
A grenade is not a gun. Both are tools, but a grenade or other explosive device cannot be used for self-defense due to public safety issues. I think we can agree that people mining their front lawns with claymores and bouncing betties would be a public safety hazard, yes?
I'm not arguing that a ban on so-called "assault weapons" is unconstitutional, I'm arguing that it is bad law being passed by cynical lawmakers that know it's useless but have sensed that they can get some liberal street cred for the midterms by "taking on the gun lobby".
People get busted for shooting at planes, too. Don't point a gun at a plane, and you won't get in trouble.
And I don't own anything that would fall under either the previous expired or current proposed ban. In fact, it's specifically exempted.

15. 'when used as directed'? they aren't aspirin, they are deadly weapons.
the nra seems to have this idea that the gun has been used 'as designed and intended', even when someone shoots themselves (on purpose or by accident) or someone else (same). so no lawsuits. screwy.
twisted, i think.
guns are designed to kill- animals, enemy soldiers, and criminals.
not- someone you're mad at or want to rob or even really an attacker unless they are going to kill you.
look at it this way- a semi-auto rifle IS indiscriminate- not even the nra is saying use them for self-defense on the street (at least they won't say it in public for fear of ridicule, so obviously dangerous, can go through + kill multiple people with one round, etc.
so how the HELL is it good INSIDE a house? if its dark, how the hell does an intruder know what kind of gun it is or why would they care? handguns are also lighter + quicker to grab + aim.
you have it backwards- how is doing something the people who elected you WANT cynical? and the gun lobby SUCKS!
an actual laser weapon would probably take down a plane pretty easily (remember star wars? not the movie?) so, i doubt they'll be available at walmart.
glad your gat is exempt, have fun with it, don't sweat the laws. they'll be ok!
