Deadline is reporting that "Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham will play Terrell in an upcoming biopic of the late singer, from writer/producer/director/actress Maryam Myika Day, and produced by Robert Teitel, Rose Ganguzza and Hilary Shor.
Graham's own Panthera Pictures production company will also produce.Over a short 12 month period, starting in April 1967, the super duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell enjoyed a string of 4 straight hits with some of the greatest love songs ever recorded at Motown Records. Sadly, only the first two of those 4 hits were released while Tammi Terrell was still well enough to perform them. In October 1967, just six months after the release of the now-classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Terrell collapsed onstage during a live performance at Virginia's Hampton-Sydney College. Two-and-a-half years later, on March 16, 1970, she died of complications from the malignant brain tumor that caused her 1967 collapse. She was only 24 years old at the time of her death, but she already had more than 10 years of show-business experience behind her, starting early, appearing as an opening act for the likes of Patti Labelle & the Bluebelles, later joining James Brown's live revue as a backup singer at 18. In 1965, at the age of 20, she was signed to Motown Records. But it wasn't until a couple of years later, when Motown decided to pair her with Marvin Gaye, while working with songwriters/husband-and-wife team of Ashford and Simpson, that Terrell (along with Gaye) became a star. After "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" came: "Your Precious Love," "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" and "You're All I Need to Get By."
Kat Graham said: "I immediately connected to Tammi and her story in many ways and have felt the incredible need to tell it... Tammi Terrell defined passion and soul itself... Getting lost in the music enabled her to override life's punishments - for when she sang, she could use the hurt to create greatness and give the world hope that maybe they could overcome their pain as w

Fullerton came back from their weekend off in the Big West schedule and extended their winning streak to five games with a 6-4 win against San Diego. Michael Lorenzen drove in two runs with a two out single in the fourth inning to give the Titans the lead and Fullerton scored four more runs in the seventh inning to give them a five run lead with Tyler Pill finishing off the scoring with a two run single. The Toreros rallied to score three runs in the ninth and Nick Ramirez was summoned over from 1B to finish things off for his Big West leading fifteenth save.
Fullerton drove up to Northridge and didn't play well in losing the opener of the series 5-4 last Friday. Vincent Roberts held the Titans to only two hits before being taken out in the seventh and Fullerton only had five hits on the day. Fullerton trailed 2-0 going into the seventh and scored once only to see the Matadors score twice in the seventh to increase the lead. Fullerton came back with a two runs in the eighth to cut the lead to 4-3 only to have Northridge score again. The Titans tried to come back once more in the ninth and scored once to cut the lead to 5-4 but couldn't get the tying run across. Fullerton's bugaboo this season reared its ugly head again as the Titans committed two errors and there were a couple of more plays that were charitably ruled hits.
Fullerton finally clinched the Big West conference championship on Saturday with a 6-0 win. Tyler Pill threw seven shutout innings and allowed only five hits with no walks and six strikeouts. Ryan Ackland finished things off by allowing only one hit in two innings. The Titans jumped out to a lead on a two run double in the first inning by Nick Ramirez and scratched out a run in the second but were held down until breaking out for three runs in the seventh to put the game away with Carlos Lopez and Greg Velasquez having RBI singles in the inning. The first seven batters in the lineup all had hits for the Titans.
Fullerton wrapped up the regular season and the series with an 11-6 win. The Titans had their hitting shoes on as they rapped out seventeen hits and four hitters had three hits - Lorenzen, Jared Deacon , Richy Pedroza and Pill, who also had four RBI and hit his first HR of the season. Christian Coronado threw five effective innings in his first start for the win and Ramirez came in late when Northridge started to rally to finish things off for his sixteenth save as he moved into second on Fullerton's single season save list and tied the school career save record that he now shares with former Titan standout Chad Cordero.
Post-season play starts this weekend with Fullerton hosting a regional for the eighth time in nine seasons. The first game of the regional will be played at 4:00 on Friday with the second seeded Stanford Cardinal playing the third seeded Kansas State Wildcats. The second game will be played at 8:00 on Friday with Fullerton playing the fourth seeded Illinois Fighting Illini.

Cheddar is a fairly hard cheese that will transform into a smooth-flowing cheese used for a variety of purposes when melted. As with all cheeses, a specific process is required to melt cheddar to prevent it from burning, breaking down or becoming hard and stringy, and patience is key. Always melt cheese in a double boiler to eliminate the possibility for burning it.
Things You'll Need
- Double boiler
- Cheese shredder
- Whisk
Choose the cheese you want to use. Though all cheddars will melt, sharp and low-fat cheddars contain less fat, milk and oils, which makes them more difficult to melt. Use a mild, high-fat cheddar cheese for the smoothest results. This will prevent the possibility of having to add milk and a flour roux to the cheese to get it to melt smoothly.
Bring the cheese to room temperature before melting. Shred with a grater. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the shredded cheese to reduce stringiness while melting.
Fill the bottom section of a double boiler with water. Place the top half of the boiler over the water. Set the range burner to low heat.
Place the shredded cheese in the top of the boiler and stir every few minutes until it starts to melt. Once it starts to melt, whisk to break down lumps until cheese is completely smooth.
Keep the cheddar cheese warm while serving to prevent it from seizing up and hardening.
Tips & Warnings
- Always heat cheddar and other cheeses on low settings. Heating cheese too quickly will cause the fats and oils to separate, and it will be much harder to use the melted cheese.
- For a creamier cheese, or to use in recipes, melt with a roux and milk mixture (bechamel). Mix one part melted butter and one part flour in a saucepan until it thickens. Keep heat low to avoid browning the roux. Add enough milk to create a soup-like texture. Continue to mix the flour and milk until it starts to thicken. Add the shredded cheese to the flour mixture and stir continually until it melts.

India's rupee retreated from the strongest level in almost three weeks on concern a record current-account deficit will boost demand for dollars.
The shortfall widened to $22.3 billion in the quarter ended September 30, official data showed December 31. The world's largest bullion buyer may raise taxes on gold imports to reduce the gap, Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said in New Delhi yesterday.
The rupee declined 0.2 percent to 54.4900 per dollar in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
It touched 54.2650 yesterday, the strongest level since December 13. The rupee dropped 3.5 percent last year after plunging 16 percent in 2011.

text: Project Description This Millennial couple contacted us after they bought this cedar shake ranch that had been vacant for years. Run down and in need of some TLC, they were excited about the possibilities it held for their new family. After our initial programming, we determined that the way they wanted to live {lots of entertaining, love of cooking, family centric, outdoor living, master suite sanctuary} was not supported by the existing layout {narrow galley kitchen, closed off rooms, lack of master suite, dysfunctional layout}. The challenge was they thought they had bought the perfect house and hired us with the expectation to spend their money on furniture and decorating. As their trusted professional, we took time to evaluate the way they wanted to live and what their immediate/long term goals were. We went back to them with our thoughtful recommendation to completely gut and renovate the entire first floor; room placement, layout and function. After taking some time to think things over they agreed that looking at the big picture for what they wanted in a home, {he called this his "forever" house - Bury me here… he said} they decided to proceed with an entirely new vision. This new vision included moving the kitchen to the den, the dining to the kitchen, the den to the dining, two bedrooms into one master, and so the story goes…. The challenges were great as they had to live through this massive renovation with a three year old and infant living in the basement of the home. This three year interior project has come to completion and was capped off with the filming of an award-winning cooking show in the kitchen: the producer loved what a perfect house this was to entertain in and the large open kitchen design.

This is a permanent post equivalent to a tenure-track Assistant Professor position (for those of you outside the UK).
Lecturer in Comics Studies (Teaching & Research)
University of Dundee - School of Humanities - English
Location: Dundee, Scotland
Salary: £30,738 to £37,768
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Closes: 31st January 2016
Job Ref: SHUM0006
We wish to appoint a full-time lecturer with a specialism in comics and graphic novels to our English and Film Studies Programme. Over the last five years the University of Dundee has taken a leading position in the development of Comics Studies, with several courses at undergraduate level and an innovative postgraduate Masters programme in Comic Studies. We also attract a large number of PhD students doing work on comics and graphic novels. We have achieved this through a great deal of work and commitment, and we expect the successful applicant to match our ambitions.
You should have a strong record of high-quality research and innovative teaching, and demonstrate potential for leadership. You will also be expected to teach on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Humanities, apply for external research funding, build networks and help attract postgraduate students at Masters and PhD level. Public engagement and academic impact are also key strengths. We are involved in community outreach and event planning, running activities such as The Dundee Comics Day, events at the Literary Festival, Dundee Comics Expo, various exhibition launches, and working with schools and at Comics conferences and conventions around the UK. You will be expected to contribute fully to our plans and activities, and develop strategies for public engagement and impact.
The comics courses delivered at Dundee adopt a range of critical, historical and theoretical approaches, and some include practical/creative outcomes such as the creation of comic art. This blend of critical and creative work is one of the most exciting aspects of Comic Studies at Dundee, and we have our own comics imprint, UniVerse Comics, which publishes student and staff creative work. The Comics team act as editors for these publications. We are also home to the Scottish Centre for Comics Studies and The Dundee Comics Creative Space, which you will contribute to and will be expected to help run. We anticipate that you will also contribute to the editing of a comics journal and will be involved in the running of major international conferences. Another key area is comics and education and we have some exciting and innovative collaborations growing in this area.
Knowledge and experience of comics creation and publishing would be valuable. However, you will be able to teach widely across a range of comics modules, covering a wide spread of comics history, with in-depth knowledge of many genres, creators, and publishers. There will also be scope to create and run modules that are specifically focused on your research specialism in comics.
You will teach on undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the Programme, and will contribute to collaborative teaching and research initiatives within and beyond the School of Humanities. You are expected to possess strong primary teaching and research interests in one or more of the areas outlined above. You must have a PhD in a relevant discipline.
Purpose & Principal Duties
To support the delivery of the Comics Studies Masters, undergraduate modules, and the supervision of Comics PhD students.
To produce high quality research publications, grant applications, projects and collaborations that achieve international distinction in your specialist area.
Design and delivery of a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules within the School of Humanities. Teaching and supervision of postgraduate students.
Administration for the Programme and the School.

So, for anybody using the Yosemite Backup solution, can you tell me if it does data deduplication?
I've gone through the Yosemite info on the Barracuda web site, but cannot find anything that says it does.
We're backing up 5-8 Windows Server 2003 servers (some virtual, some physical) with many of the same system files and would love to find a good backup software with de-dup capabilities AND not have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
At this point, we're looking at doing tape backups (Ultrium 3 800GB/1600GB) or maybe disk to disk to tape to give us a larger backup window.
Was thinking about getting a Barracuda Backup device, but changed my mind due to the cost of the data hosting (50 cents per GB). I'm currently backing up about 400GB (not de-dup'ed) each night.
Any help is very appreciated...

Bit of a late reply - but I think you're right. I guess you may have sorted that out and moved on to something else by now!
I also looked at a Barracuda Backup appliance a year ago but decided against it, partly because our internet connection couldn't cope but also because Barracuda support in the UK was hopeless. FWIW, I believe the software on the appliance does do dedupe.

Other Answers
1. Open Windows Explorer (aka My Computer)
2. Go to C:\Users and select your username
3. Open the AppData folder. If you don't see it there, do the following:
3a. Press alt and go to Tools > Folder Options
3b. Go to view tab and look through the list for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
3c. Enable the "Show hidden files.." and click OK
4. Open the AppData folder and go to Roaming\.minecraft\saves
There will be one folder for each world you have created. You want to copy the world folder to your other computer. The easiest way to do this is with a USB storage device (jump drive/flash key/whatever).
On the destination PC, do the same steps to get to that Saves folder and paste the world folder there from the USB storage device or whatever you're using to transfer it. If you have another world there with the same name, rename it to something else before pasting.
Kellexx - 5 years ago
Go to the start menu and type in %appdata% then hit enter. After that click on the .minecraft folder and after in there click on "saves". You can put them on a USB then transfer the save you want. I hope this help! :)
frd111 - 5 years ago
You can't play the world from your USB device. You can copy the world to your USB and replace the one on your PC(s) as needed. It cannot be directly loaded off the USB, because the worlds are drawn from that .minecraft/saves folder and that can't be changed.

Greenville Workers' Compensation Attorney
Injured at Work? Talk With a Greenville Attorney
When you have been injured in a work accident, the personal injury can affect all aspects of your life — your job, your family and your ability to participate in activities you enjoy. To get the benefits you need to get your life back on track, work with an experienced lawyer.
You should choose to work with the Armstrong Law Firm in Greenville, South Carolina. Our law firm uses over 40 years of experience to help injured workers get the best possible results in workers' compensation matters.
A South Carolina Work Injury Attorney Here to Help You Every Step of the Way
Workers' compensation benefits are available to almost all employees who are injured in the course of their employment. Work-related injuries covered by workers' compensation typically include:
- Neck, back and knee injuries
- Carpal tunnel/repetitive trauma injuries
- Loss of use of limbs
- Eye injuries
- Hearing problems
- Work-induced heart attack or stroke
- Occupational diseases such as asbestosis and dermatitis
- Asthma or other work-related lung conditions
A workers' compensation claim demands prompt, professional attention. The laws and rules concerning workers' compensation are complicated and are always changing. Handling your work accident compensation claim on your own is possible, but it is risky. You need to be sure your claim will be handled correctly or it could cost you your entire claim.
A Notable Case
Greenville workers' compensation lawyer David Armstrong is known for his success in Harding v. Plumley, 329 S.C. 580, 496 S.E.2d 29 (S.C. App. 1998), a case that has helped shape South Carolina workers' compensation law. The case involved a suit against a small employer. The court of appeals found that the employer did not have the number of employees required to be subject to the Workers' Compensation Act.
Talk to Us About Your Workers' Compensation Concerns
At the Armstrong Law Firm, we are devoted to assisting our clients in working through workers' compensation concerns. We want you to receive a fair resolution to your claim, so we push hard for the best possible results. Contact us by calling 864-241-0633 to talk about your work injury.

Talk:Sicilian Independence Movement
|WikiProject Italy
|(Rated Start-class)
|WikiProject Politics / Political parties
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
Proposed move to a new title[edit]
I suggest changing the title of this article to "Sicilian Independence Movement". I think the current title is grammaticaly incorrect and represents a mistranslation of "Movimento Indipendentista Siciliano". Moreover, by looking at which term is actually used in books to describe the movement, googlebooks gives 31 hits[1] for "Sicilian Independence Movement" and only 1 hit[2] for "Sicilian Independentist Movement". Similarly, googlenews gives only 1 hit[3] for "Sicilian Independentist Movement" and 4 hits[4] for "Sicilian Independence Movement" This book[5] specifically identifies "Sicilian Independence Movement" as M.I.S. So the name "Sicilian Independence Movement" seems to be both the more commonly used and the more correct translation of "Movimento Indipendentista Siciliano".

Pat Reese Enterprises
Thirty-eight years ago, while working as a decorator for Sears department store in Fort Worth, Pat Reese met Noah Bazer. Bazer was a master upholsterer who crafted custom slipcovers for stores around town. She asked him to teach her his trade, and he took her on as a student. After four years, she was skilled enough to become his business partner. They worked together as Bazer & Reese for years, and their reputation for high-quality slipcovers spread throughout Texas. In 1990, after Bazer lost his wife of many years, he left the company and moved to Florida.
Today, Reese leads a team of artisans in crafting slipcovers and draperies of the same high quality that Bazer was known for. Customers can peruse a wide variety of fabrics, including eco-friendly green fabrics made from hemp, organic cotton, and other sustainably sourced fibers. The artisans then craft the fabrics into coverings for sofas, chairs, and other furniture. They also create draperies and custom upholstery.

My Africa podcast, exclusive partners with Pulse brings you an interesting episode with Nigerian world famous chef, Ozoz Sokoh.
She takes us on her journey into the fascinating world of the taste and business of food in Africa; her growth from anti-food caterpillar to the amazing Kitchen Butterfly.
She likes everything about food; where it comes from, the health perspective, spiritual significance, nutritional values, etc.
Most great meals need a little bit of the unusual to achieve their taste and on this episode we discover that the best ingredient is quite often the chef. Ozoz believes food should be celebrated and not just taken for granted.
"My father was a phenomenal cook; he is the primary influence on my culinary exploits," she says. He is a major part of her journey into becoming a chef and food lover.
She discusses her earliest memories, childhood and interaction with people and places from different parts of the world.
Her culinary exploits are driven by her passion for flavours from all over the world; Ozoz Sokoh has gone all the way round the magic of the amazing tastes that land on your tongue.

When a millionaire matriarch is found floating face down in the family pool, the prime suspects are her good-for-nothing son and his seductive teenage daughter. In The Drowning Pool, Lew Archer takes this case in the L.A. suburbs and encounters a moral wasteland of corporate greed and family hatred--and sufficient motive for a dozen murders.

Audi has finally gotten around to serving up details on the company's 2013 RS4 Avant. Buyers can look forward to plopping their money down on a wagon with a full 450 horsepower served up by a naturally-aspirated 4.2-liter V8 engine. With 317 pound-feet of torque on hand, the German manufacturer says its new long roof can sprint to 60 mph in a mere 4.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 174 mph. A seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting duty, while Quattro all-wheel drive dumps the gru

Cadillac admits it only needs to sell a half dozen CTS-V Sport Wagons to cover its development costs. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant. Audi execs have made it clear that its hottest midsize Avant won't be coming to the States anytime soon, so if you're particularly sensitive to forbidden fruit, stop reading now.

Downsizing? What downsizing? While rivals may be replacing cylinders with turbochargers – heck, even Audi itself has done that with the twin-turbo V8 succeeding the V10 in the S8 and such – the new RS4 is reportedly on its way in full-fat 4.2-liter V8 FSI trim.

Well, this is the depressing installment of Dawn's movie roundups. I think I searched for "death," and then just rented all of the results. I also really let the movies pile up this month cause I just couldn't motivate to write anything. (Yup, another failed NaNoMo for Dawn!) Meh. Anyway, get your hot cup of Joe and your cloak of depression and let us begin. Since there are SO MANY movies, I tried to put them in order from best to worst, since I know no one is finishing this post. Sadly, I kept putting so many movies at the bottom, the bad movies kinda start at number 5. Lemon.
"You are a Nazi and I am a Jew. End of story," says his best friend to Viggo Mortensen's protagonist. Indeed.
But it is the end of a wonderful story and fantastic movie. It starts off slowly, Mortensen is a professor in 1930s Germany. He regards the Nazis with that casual disdain the American elite have for Republicans. They're annoying and stupid and he can't wait till they're voted out… But then they come to him one day. The Fuhrer LOVED his novel. Thinks he's a genius! Would he mind doing some research for them. "Oh, well, I guess I misjudged these guys! They're not so bad." Then it turns out his best friend has a little teeny Jew in him… they strip him of his medical practice. Freeze his assets. But Mortensen doesn't want to make any waves. He's got it good. He tells his friend to buck up "you hated being a psychiatrist anyway. All those whiny patients! Go to France. Surf." Well… you know how it turns out.
Nazi. Jew. Awesome movie.
Leaves of Grass
I didn't know what to expect from this movie. The box has that weird surreal art quality of yearbook photos of Ed Norton. Like the 40-year-old virgin movie box. But I actually really liked this movie. Ed Norton plays twins, one a philosophy professor and one a drug dealer. The drug dealer has gotten into a bind and a mobster is after him, so he wants his brother to pretend to be him around town, so he can go to a different town and kill the mobster. It was a pretty good plan…but it wouldn't be a good movie if it works out, now would it?
The Towering Inferno
It amazed me how old this movie was: 1974! I don't even have to lie when I say I wasn't even born yet! OJ Simpson is in it! Crazypants. I actually didn't like it though. And I know EXACTLY why. The Twin Towers. I know what happens when a skyscraper burns in real life. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't exciting. It was horrible and gruesome. And this movie clearly had NO IDEA. Obviously, not its fault. But it was hard to watch. All the quips and the extraordinary heroics to save the building and the people with helicopters and zip lines, but in reality, you know, the most we can do is watch the building burn and the bodies fall.
The Gathering
This movie was very interesting. It stars Cristina Ricci, who I will always think of as Wednesday Adams. Wednesday is hit by a car. The driver takes her home and she quickly becomes part of the family. But she has a secret past! (Don't they always?) Strange deaths start to occur and the father in the family starts to see a pattern. Anytime something terrible happens, the same dozen or so faces can be seen in background. Think Hiroshima – there's Waldo in the background of the photos of the dead. Pearl Harbor? Waldo again! San Francisco earthquake- NO WAY! Yup. Waldo. Anyway, he sees two of the faces walking around his town and starts to freak! Something bad is about to happen cause…they are GATHERING! It's cool. Rent it.
The Last Word
This movie is about a guy who makes his living writing "goodbye notes" for people who are planning to kill themselves, but can't think of what to say to their family. So, he follows them around for the last week or so of their life, looks through their mementos and listens to them talk about their loved ones and then he writes up a "last word" for them and then they kill themselves and their families have closure. Unfortunately, he falls for the sister of one of his clients, but can't tell her how he knew her brother. Ray Romano is also in it as his current client.
The Life Before Her Eyes
This movie tracks a Columbine type disaster, where the gunman shoots up the whole school, but decides to give these two best friends the choice of which one will die. The one girl is all "shoot me!" The other girl is all "yeah, shoot her!" She then has all this guilt as an adult and stuff. It's all pretty dumb.
Peter's Friends
So, a guy's father dies and he invites his old college friends to come spend one last holiday together. This movie was so perfectly wonderfully depressing. "There's high school, college and then a black hole." "Adults are children with debts." It stars Hugh Laurie! And Kenneth Branaugh (you really must hear me pronounce Branaugh out loud. It's hysterical.) And that British woman who is always in movies with Kenneth Branaugh! There's a wonderful scene where she hits on the host of the party by showing up naked to his bedroom and he says to her "I'm not in the vagina business."
This movie is awesomesauce. Depressing depressing sauce of awesome.
Charlie St. Cloud
I had to go back and see what my Zac Efron movie rating system was like. (I CANNOT believe he lost an acting matchup against Justin Timberlake. This is how we end up with President Sarah Palin, people.) Okay, so here's my system: 1 star for starring Zac Efron. 2 stars for featuring a shirtless Zac Efron and 1 star for having Zac Efron sing. Zac Efron does not sing in this movie. However, he is shirtless. A LOT. AND WET. The movie is about a promising sailor (like America's Cup, not Popeye.) But then he and his brother die in a car crash. Paramedic brings him back, but his brother stays dead. But now he can see dead people. So he hangs out with his brother and his friends who died in Iraq. Then he has an affair with a young woman, who is trying to sail around the world. But then three days later, he learns his girlfriend HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A WEEK! She's in his head! Dun dun dun. Oh yeah, minus one star for Zac Efron making out with some lame chick.
Murder at 1600
Um. Remember when Wesley Snipes was an action hero? Yeah, he made this movie. He's a DC cop. There's been a murder at the White House. He has to solve it, while jumping through the Secret Service's hoops. Can he solve the crime before he becomes a victim of the coverup?! Yes. Yes, he can. Yawn.
Martin Sheen was TOTALLY hot as a young man. O. M. G. His sons are puke compared to him in this 1960s movie about a Bonnie and Clyde couple who go on a serial killing rampage through South Dakota. PUKE. The movie is weird. But not bad.
Crazy on the Outside
Tim Allen stars as a parolee who has to relearn to live with his family again. It's supposed to be a dramedy. But it fails on every level. It's not funny. It's not sad. I hate every single character. UGH. Awful.
So this dude Papillon is convicted of killing a pimp. He is sentenced to life on some prison island. He keeps trying to escape. He keeps failing. Then one day, when he's 70, he builds a raft out of coconuts or something and he floats away. Dude. Random.
The Last Station
Speaking of random. So Tolstoy evidently wanted to shun all his worldly possessions and live the simple life, but his wife was all "dude, we have 14 children! What the fuck?!" And so his aides try to keep her away from him before he changes his will giving all his money away. And then he dies.
Love & Distrust
This movie is terrible. It should be called Hate and Distrust. Or "Sorry Dawn, you didn't deserve this." It's a series of vignettes. Vomit.
Wonderful World
Matthew Broderick plays a pessimist. But then he gets a magical African roommate who teaches him that "thoughts are things" and if he helps others, good things will come. But then the roommate goes into a diabetic coma and his car gets towed taking the dude to the hospital and then he's fired from work because he was late getting in that day. Then the African dude's sister comes to stay with him. They have a lot of sex. She thinks he's going to marry her. He's all "um…you're black. We don't do that in American movies." She goes back to Africa. Yeah, hated this fucking movie.
Mystery Men
This movie is about a ragtag bunch of misfits who decide they can fight crime. It's weird and dumb and seriously, just rent "Kick ass." It's funnier, more touching and frankly more believable. Plus, it doesn't have the unbearable Ben Stiller in it.
Kiss Me Goodbye
A young Sally Field is preparing to get married again after watching her husband die three years earlier. She inexplicably decides to marry the new guy in the house she shared with the old, dead guy. Turns out the dead guy's ghost still roams the place. Hijinx? Ensue.
Grown Ups
A group of guys, who played basketball together as kids, gather for their coach's funeral. They decide to spend the weekend together catching up and letting their families get to know each other. That is the most cogent write up of this wretched, boring, unfunny mess of a movie that you will ever see.
Ramona & Beezus
I loved Beverly Cleary. As a child, I would spend hours in the library reading and re-reading Ramona books. On behalf of both Beverly Cleary AND that child, I want to kick the makers of this movie in the nuts. They make Ramona out to be a trouble making crazy person, even though she just has TERRIBLE parents who lead her to believe that she has to save the family home after her dad gets laid off. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. And Beezus sucks. This whole movie sucks. Though I like Aiden and the guy from Las Vegas.
Please Give
This movie is about a woman who buys furniture from old people who have died and apartments of elderly people who are about to die and then resells them for huge profits. She starts to feel guilty about this. You won't care. Whole flick is terrible.
The Late Shift
So in case you needed NEW reasons to hate Jay Leno, pick up this ditty. It's the tale of his late night wars with David Letterman and how he jettisoned his manager the minute he got the Tonight Show, even though he would have had NOTHING without her. Kathy Bates is the awesome. I saw a funny "some ecards" it was "I hate Jay Leno because he makes me feel bad that I don't actually think Conan's funny." That's where I stand.
Wolf Moon
This movie seems to be a premake of the Anthony Hopkins Wolfman movie from last year. Same plot of father and son wolves, where one likes it, the other doesn't. Same woman who loves the wolf. Though they throw in a sheriff who is a chick with a thick Spanish accent. No bueno.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
This movie stars the kid Gaby had the affair with on Desperate Housewives and the girl who played Emily on General Hospital. She's on House now. It's about a reporter who has a hunch that the District Attorney is fabricating evidence to get his conviction rate high enough so he can run for Governor. To prove it, he decides to frame himself for a murder. Can't IMAGINE what could go wrong. It's not the worst movie ever and there's a neat twist at the end.
Jackie Chan: Kung Fu Master
You know what is the worst movie, ever? Yeah…ugh. So the premise is this kid wants Jackie Chan to teach him Kung Fu so he can beat up the bullies in his class. Blah blah blah. He runs around China trying to get on the set of Jackie Chan movies. Terrible.
Toy Story 3
This movie is the story of what happens to your toys when you move away to college. It's not pretty. Cute movie though. But sorta depressing too.
Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
This movie is terrible. Stravinsky cheats on his wife with Coco Chanel, but the wife doesn't mind because he's found something to be passionate about again. But then Coco Chanel gets bored with him and dumps him.
American Crime
This movie is awful. It starts out like a faux documentary about a young female reporter who stumbles on the story of her career, but she gets too close and the killer kills her! But the acting is so dreadful and the dialogue so stilted, you mostly laugh. Awful. Awful. AWFUL.
Autumn in New York
Speaking of AWFUL. I don't understand. This flick was SOOOOO AWFUL. Winona Ryder is 20 years old and dying of some heart ailment. Richard Gere is 400 years old, dated both Winona's MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER! But she decides he's the one for her! And he's all "okay…but you're SURE you're gonna die, right? Cause I don't do commitment!" And she's all "yep." And he's all "okay, then I love you! I love you forever!" AND THIS IS A LOVE STORY? A "heartbreaking love story" according to the box?? Fuck outta here.
Sex and the City 2
Speaking of "fuck outta here." Can this Sex and the City thing please DIE ALREADY? PLEASE??? This movie is like a compilation of four different movies ALL OF THEM TERRIBLE! Oh Carrie is all "waaa my life is so boring." And Miranda is all "waa male lawyers are so mean to me" And Charlotte is all "waaa mothering two children with the help of a pretty nanny is sooo hard!" and Samantha is all "Look at me, I'm not really old! Really!" And then they're all "Let's go to Saudi Arabia! GAG. Vomit.
Adrien Brody is so very very annoying. This flick is no exception. He and his girlfriend build a new species that's part stingray/part girl. They call her "Dren" and raise her as their own. It does NOT turn out well. Then Adrien Brody has sex with Dren. He girlfriend catches him. Dude. GROSS. Then Dren grows wings and er…other body parts… Seriously. GROSS.
I think this was another Cristina Ricci flick. She stars as a discredited nurse at last chance hospital. But the hospital has a terrible past. The patients and staff are dying and time is running out to stop the bloodshed and save the children! Meh. Boring.
See the Sea
This movie is SO freaky. It's a French short. (Honestly, I don't know how I keep ending up with these French films. It's not my fault!) The mother and her baby are at the family beach house while the husband is away. A young drifter girl knocks on the door and asks if she can pitch her tent in the yard. The mother is lonely and desperate for adult company. This will not end well.

Deep divers built on PVC trim board that Rayburn Guy sent me. The bodies are a Rapala Risto Rap pattern, the lips are G-10 and elongated from the original. The PVC carves nicely but sanding with a Dremel produces lots of magnetized white dust. I had to seal the PVC to avoid bubbles in the paint. Bottom line for me: PVC seems OK for deep divers with minimal buoyancy, but not for shallow baits - JMHO!

I mainly wanted to discuss how we can start this conversation about AOOo 4.0. When we really start it, I think we'd want to engage users via the blog, as well as the ooo-users list. Other Apache projects might be ideas as well, especially how there projects could enhance AOOo. I think if we engage in this kind of brainstorming, we should also be disciplined. Some good practices would be: 1) We would need some volunteers to transcribe or summarize the posted ideas onto a set of wiki pages. These "scribes" ensure that we have a useful record of the ideas. 2) Don't "shut down" someone's idea by criticizing it. This is not about voting or expressing approval or disapproval. It is about collecting ideas. If we are critical too early this tends to stop the flow of ideas. 3) But it is fine to do a quick +1 to express support for an idea. Or even better, to express willingness to work on the idea. 4) We want to avoid turning this into a debate. The goal is to start a conversation, get more people enthused about what AOOo 4.0 could be, and by showing what is possible, attract new project volunteers. The time to start thinking about AOOo 4.0 is now! 5) We should not try to duplicate the Issue Tracker. We have thousands of ideas there. The brainstorming is not just a about lobbying for known proposal. (but it might be partially that) It is about having a conversation with project members, users, others at Apache and elsewhere, and developing a shared vision of AOOo 4.0. Does this make sense? -Rob

On 16 April 2008, in Yekaterinburg, VTB Bank held the next benefit event under its World Without Tears charity program and donated the sensory room equipment to the Special Child rehabilitation hospital.
The sensory room helps doctors improve mental growth of children with neuropathy, develop cognitive skills of children with psychoneurological abnormalities, and speech skills of children with hearing and speech disturbance, etc. Training classes in such sensory rooms reduce neurotic reaction and correct motor skills. The equipment includes a dry swimming pool, interactive panels, light projectors, mirror panels, specialized armchairs and so on.
Under the World Without Tears program, a press conference was held in the hospital to discuss issues of developing healthcare institutions in the region and enhancing the role of major national companies in supporting children's healthcare. Among the attendees were Olga Dergunova, VTB Board Member; Andrey Kiselev, VTB Senior Vice President; Alexander Paramonov, VTB Branch Director in Yekaterinburg; Vladimir Klimin, Healthcare Minister in the Sverdlovsk region, and Pavel Bukharev, Chief Medical Officer in the Special Child hospital.
According to Olga Dergunova, VTB Board Member, "A key task of VTB charity program is to support disadvantaged population groups, in particular, orphans and handicapped children. Our World Without Tears charity program has a systematic, long-term and targeted character and is aimed at supporting healthcare institutions for children. We render regular assistance to orphan homes, hospitals, and allocate significant funds for educational programs".
VTB's choice to support this hospital in Yekaterinburg was underpinned by its present important role in the healthcare system of the whole region. With a proper support, the hospital will be able to fulfill its potential.
For reference:
World Without Tears is a long-term charity program held by VTB Bank. Under the program since 2004, the Bank has been giving financial targeted support to healthcare institutions for children, in particular, Russian children's research clinic, Moscow regional children's psychoneurological hospital, Morozov children's municipal research clinic, and N. Filatov children's municipal research clinic No. 13. This year, the program went beyond the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions to reach Yekaterinburg.
The Special Child hospital was established in 1991. It renders qualified assistance to handicapped children with cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes. Annually, about 2500 children get medical care in the hospital, 1600 of them are outpatients. The hospital takes children both from the Sverdlovsk region, and from other Russian regions, in particular, the Tyumen Region, the Perm Region and the Kurgan Region.
Medical staff is also engaged in preventive treatment of disabled children with strong neurologic pathology. For successful treatment of these diseases the specialists have both a wide diagnostic base and modern technological equipment, supplemented by a modern complex for the sensory room.

Sustainability reporting to accompany traditional financial reports has momentum, but lack of consistency in preparing sustainability reports inhibits their usefulness. This paper presents a development guide for a consistent and auditable sustainability reporting model based on modified value-added reporting. Value added taken from traditional accounting reports is allocated to five dimensions of sustainability: financial, social, environmental, technological, and a residual value retained in the company. Sustainability indicators based on ratios of allocated amounts to the five dimensions are illustrated for a fictitious company. The underlying idea is that if there is an imbalance among the proportions of value added distributed among the dimensions of sustainability, the company's long-term survival could be at stake.

Field of the Invention
This invention relates to communication networks. More specifically, the invention relates to Local Area Networks (LANs) of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) type which provide both half-duplex and full-duplex communication channels.
Ethernet is a commonly used name for a network access protocol of the CSMA/CD type. The CSMA/CD protocol is defined in ANSI/IEEE Standard 802.3, published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc., 3445 East 45th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017, and referred to as the AIEE 802.3 standard. Under the CSMA/CD rules for access to a network, any node or station wishing to transmit must first "listen" to make sure that the channel is clear before beginning to transmit. All nodes on the network have equal priority of access and after a required inter-packet delay (IPG) of 9.6 μs (microseconds) may begin transmitting as soon as the channel is clear. However, if the first node that has started transmitting detects a "collision" with a transmission from another node, the first node continues transmitting for a short time to make sure that all nodes wishing to transmit will detect the collision. Every other node detecting collision also continues to transmit for a short time. Then each node that has detected a collision terminates transmission of the packet or frame. The nodes involved in the collision enter a collision avoidance mode. In the collision avoidance mode, the nodes wait for the required IPG of 9.6 μs and then use different delay times, referred to as backoff times, before trying transmission of the same packet again. When the number of nodes is small, e.g. two nodes, the IEEE standard 802.3 exhibits an undesirable effect, referred to as the "capture effect" in which one of the nodes may effectively capture and transmit a succession of data packets which essentially "freezes out" the other node from transmitting messages.
The nature of ethernet is changing in that there are now multiple methods of connecting to a network. Ethernet can be connected in half-duplex, half-duplex switched or full-duplex switched domains. Each of these environments has characteristics that define the highest performing method of transmitting data on the network. When the network hardware is programmed to operate half-duplex, which is the standard mode for ethernet, chaining transmit packets together can result in poor network performance due to the speeds at which some signal drivers can drive the network, particularly when the network is in a high traffic collision domain. In a lightly loaded half-duplex network, however, there is less need to incur artificially extended inter-packet delay between packets or frames, since the level of competition for the network is greatly reduced. On the other hand, in full-duplex, it is not necessary to incur an artificially extended inter-packet delay since the station is no longer competing for access to the network. Therefore, in full-duplex it is more beneficial not to incur the overhead of artificially extended inter-packet delay between packets, since there is no competition for the network.
Accordingly, there is a need to provide an ethernet driver transmit technique for both half and full-duplex that maximizes performance of the network in terms of latency and throughput, regardless of whether half or full-duplex is being used on the network.
The prior art related to the problem addressed by the present invention is, as follows:
European patent application 063,262,082 entitled "Backoff Time Evaluation Method for ethernet," published Apr. 1, 1995, discloses an ethernet capture effect avoidance scheme which uses a special capture avoidance binary exponential backoff (CABEB) algorithm.
A publication entitled "Solving Capture in Switched Two-Node Ethernets By Changing Only One Node" by W. Hayes, et al. published in the proceedings, Twentieth Conference on Local Computer Networks, Minneapolis, Minn., USA, Oct. 16-19, 1995, pages 387-95, discloses a method for solving capture effect in switched multi-mode ethernet systems by allowing a node to keep a local copy of attempts counter of other nodes and to use this information to trigger switching its medium access protocol policy between two extremes, one aggressively persistent and the other completely passive.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,432,775 entitled "Auto Negotiation System for a Communication Network," issued Jul. 11, 1995, filed Dec. 3, 1993, discloses a system for detection of enhanced capability of stations on a communications network. A specified pattern of late test pulses are detected and transmitted to provide for the indication of enhanced capability. The system is particularly useful for determining whether a particular station is in full-duplex or half-duplex mode without affecting overall network performance.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,305,317 issued Apr. 19, 1994, discloses an adaptive circuit for a local area network whereby the adaptive circuit can operate in a token ring protocol or in an ethernet protocol. A protocol handler is operable to communicate with internal buses in either a token ring or ethernet protocol.
None of the prior art addresses the problem of dynamically tuning ethernet device drivers for improved network performance, i.e., latency and throughput, regardless of whether the network hardware is in a half or full-duplex mode, and without the use of special algorithms or other mechanisms to alter the inter-packet delay gap for collision avoidance.
An object of the invention is an improved local area network (LAN) of the ethernet type operating in either a half or full-duplex mode with improved latency and throughput.
Another object is a LAN of the ethernet type employing transmit chaining in half or full duplex mode without involving a "capture" problem or mode testing.
Another object is a tunable device driver for a LAN of the ethernet type which provides improved performance for either a half-duplex or full-duplex environment.
Another object is a method to dynamically throttle back a device driver in a communications network to reduce the number of collisions when the driver detects the network is heavily utilized in a half duplex mode, yet provide the maximum throughput when the network is lightly loaded in a half duplex mode or in a full duplex mode.
Another object is a method of increasing throughput on a LAN of the ethernet type when operated in a lightly loaded half-duplex or a full-duplex mode.
Another object is a method to avoid a capture effect in a LAN of the ethernet type operating in a half-duplex mode using the IEEE 802.3 standard for collision backoff procedure.
These and other objects, features and advantages are achieved in a LAN of the ethernet type employing CSMA/CD protocol for channel access by a plurality of network nodes. Each node transmits data packets to the LAN in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard. Each node includes an adapter coupled at one side to the network in either a half or full-duplex mode. The other side of the adapter is bound to a device driver which is dynamically tuned for reduced latency and increased network throughput, regardless of the transmitting mode of the node and the capture effect of an ethernet LAN. Each device driver operates in a transmit chaining mode when the network is in a lightly loaded half-duplex, or full-duplex mode. The driver includes means for monitoring data packet collisions on a channel. A "collision rate" or the percentage of data packets which were transmitted on the channel with collisions in a pre-selected time interval is calculated by the device driver. A "collision threshold" is assigned or calculated by the device driver. Data packets transmitted by each device driver are chained to increase network throughput when the "collision rate" is below the "collision threshold". Transmit chaining of data packets is disabled for the device driver when the "collision threshold" is exceeded on the channel.
In summary, the present invention satisfies the need for a communication network of the ethernet type for improved latency and throughput by dynamically tuning device drivers according to a "collision rate" and "collision threshold". The device driver is tuned by calculating or assigning a "collision rate" and determining whether the "collision rate" exceeds the assigned or calculated "collision threshold." When the "collision rate" does not exceed the "collision threshold" the LAN hardware or adapter performs transmit chaining which improves latency and increases network throughput, regardless of whether the hardware is in a half or full-duplex mode and without testing to determine the mode or duplex status of the channel. When the "collision rate" is exceeded, the device driver artificially extends the IPG by transmitting data packets one at a time which tends to avoid the capture effect problem of ethernet LANS.

In FIG. 1, a communications network 10 of the ethernet type includes a plurality of stations or nodes 12' . . . 12n coupled to a hub 14 in a half-duplex (HDX) or full-duplex (FDX) mode with the FDX mode being implemented in the hub. The network operates in the CSMA/CD mode as described in IEEE standard 802.3 with collision avoidance. The text "Ethernet -Building a Communications Infrastructure" by H. Hegering et al, published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Wokingham, England, 1993 (ISBN: 0-201-62405-2), pages 12, 33 provides additional details on an ethernet and the full text is incorporated by reference into the present application.
In FIG. 2, a representative station or node 12 in the network includes an input/output (I/O) bus 16 coupled to a conventional memory 18, central processing unit 20, display/input device 22 and a disk storage device 23 which accepts a computer usable medium e.g. a floppy disk or mini embodying stored computer program instructions for entry into or down loading from the memory 18. Also connected to the I/O bus 16 is one side of an adapter 24, typically a Medium Access Unit (MAU), described in the text by H. Hegering et al supra and including a collision detection function 26. The other side of the adapter is connected to the ethernet 10.
The memory 18 includes a series of stored program instructions including a conventional operating system 28, e.g OS/2, Windows 95, UNIX, etc; a device driver 30 and an adapter buffer 32. The device driver provides instructions for reformatting or interpreting software command for transfer to and from peripheral devices and the CPU 20. The device driver manages a device driver buffer 34 for storing data frames sent by the operating system 28 to the adapter 24 when the station is in a collision avoidance mode. The adapter buffer stores frames sent by the device driver for transmission to the network 10 when the station is not in a collision avoidance mode.
The device driver monitors a transmit complete counter 33 and a transit collision counter 36 to calculate a collision rate occurring on the network 10 in a specified time period, as will be described hereinafter. The device driver employs a collision rate calculating algorithm 38 stored in the memory 18 for such purpose. Lastly, a collision threshold 40 is stored in the memory 18 for use in the exercise of the calculating algorithm 38. The threshold 40 may be arbitrarily selected by a user based on network collision experience or dynamically calculated based on the type of network, i.e. full or half-duplex; number of stations or nodes; lightly or heavily loaded traffic on the network, and other network parameters having a bearing on the probability of collisions occurring on the network. The collision threshold 40 would be reset in the memory, as required after the dynamic calculation of the threshold.
A brief overview of the invention will be provided before describing the flow diagrams of FIGS. 4A, B and C., as follows:
In FIGS. 1 and 2, each device driver 30 in the network monitors the number of frames that are transmitted using the transit collision counter and collision detector 26, with collisions indicating network competition among the transmitting stations or nodes 12. The more collisions detected by a node, the more competition, and therefore, the device driver should transmit frames one at a time in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 backoff procedure. Conversely, the fewer collisions detected, the less competition, and therefore, the device should chain transmit packets together regardless of half or full-duplex mode.
Once per second the device driver calculates the percentage of frames that were transmitted with collisions over a defined time interval, typically four seconds. Transmit chaining is enabled as long as this number is below a certain percentage or collision threshold, typically in the range of ten percent, but this percentage may be dynamically changed according to the network status. Once the collision threshold is exceeded, transmit chaining is disabled which occurs only for a half-duplex mode when in a high network traffic/high collision rate status. Full-duplex mode is not subject to the collision threshold since each node transmits and receives messages directly from other nodes without competition from the circuit. Accordingly, there is no need for the channel to be tested to determine the transmit mode or duplex status in which the channel is operating.
To implement the calculation of a collision rate, a "transmit complete� counter 33 is incremented every time a frame completes transmission from the node. Every time a frame completes transmission with collisions indicated, a "transmit complete with collision" counter 36 is incremented. These counters are maintained in such a way as to indicate the current state of the network over the past four seconds, so as not to be affected by bursts of activity. A decision is made periodically by the device driver taking the ratio of the two counters. If more than the threshold value of collisions to the total frames is reached, new frames will be enqueued on the pending queue in buffer 34 of the device driver. Otherwise, new frames will be enqueued on the "ready" queue in the buffer 32 of the adapter. The decision for enqueuing the packets at the device driver or the adapter is based upon the following equation:
(1) if ##EQU1## thenenqueued pending=TRUE elseenqueued pending=FALSE
In FIG. 3, each counter covers only the past "4" seconds. The counts maintained are only the number of occurrences within that time period. In implementations, there are four subcounters 42', 42", 42'" and 42"" maintained, the counter value being the sum of the occurrences for the four subcounters. Thus, in the first calculation, the counter value is the sum of the counts for the time periods 1, 2, 3 and 4 which occurs at time period 4. In the next calculation, which occurs in time period 1, the counter value is the sum of the counts for time periods 2, 3, 4 and 5. In the next calculation which occurs in time period 2, the counter value is the average of the counts for time periods 3, 4, 5 and 6, and so forth. After each count calculation, the oldest count is cleared from the subcounter to begin counting new frames. Each counter, therefore, is the sum of the four subcounters over a four second period.
In FIG. 4A, a process will be described for transmitting a frame from the node to the network. The process is entered in a step 401 when the operating system 28 presents a frame to the device driver 30 for transmission to the network using the CSMA/CD procedure of IEEE 802.3. In step 403 the driver performs a collision avoidance mode test and a "yes" condition enqueues the frame in the device driver buffer 34 and the process ends. Additional frames are enqueued in the device driver buffer in a step 405 until the collision avoidance mode test indicates a "no" condition. When a "no" condition results from the test of step 403, all pending frames are moved to the adapter 24 the new frame is enqueued in the adapter buffer 32 in step 407 whereupon the process ends.
In FIG. 4B, a process will be described for the device driver during the interrupt time on the network after a transmit complete has been indicated for a transmitted frame. The process is entered in a step 409 when the device driver notifies the operating system of a transmit complete. In a step 411, the device driver updates the transmit complete counter 34. Next, in a step 413 the device driver updates the transmit collision counter 36. In a step 415, the device driver checks if it is in collision avoid mode. A "no" condition ends the process. A "yes" condition will cause the device driver to interrogate the operating system for frames pending in a step 417. A "no" condition ends the process. A "yes" condition enqueues the next pending frame in the adapter buffer in a step 419, after which the process ends.
In FIG. 4C, a process will be described for the device driver in calculating at each second of the network clock a collision rate for the network to determine if the device driver should enter a collision avoidance mode and wait to transmit the next frame. The process is entered in a step 423 performed by the device driver in which the sum of the transmit collision subcounters is divided by the sum of the transmit complete subcounters and the result compared to the collision threshold. If the collision threshold is greater than the results of the division, a "yes" condition initiates a "collision avoidance mode off" condition for the device driver in a step 425. If the collision threshold is less than the results of the division, a "no" condition initiates a "collision avoidance mode on" condition for the device driver in a step 427. After determination of the collision avoidance mode for the device driver, the oldest count is cleared from the transmit complete and transmit collision counters in a step 429, after which the process ends.
Summarizing, a device driver performs transmit chaining in an ethernet in either a half or full-duplex mode without testing the network to determine which mode exists. When the network is in a half-duplex mode and collisions occur which exceed a collision threshold, the node enters a collision avoidance mode which minimizes the probability of a capture effect from occurring on the network. When in a collision avoidance mode, the device driver stores frames in a device driver buffer, otherwise the device driver performs transmit chaining which improves latency and throughput on the network. Stated another way, the device driver is dynamically tuned to the network for transmit chaining according to a comparison of an assigned or dynamically calculated collision threshold to the ratio of a transmit complete counter and a transmit collision counter.
While the invention has been described with respect to a specific embodiment it is apparent that various changes and modifications may be to the embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described in the appended claims.

Some people take a turn to the right as they get older. The former Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser has been sliding left for decades, and this week confirmed it by announcing his resignation from the Liberal party in protest at its growing extremism. Mr Fraser has been a force for moderate good sense and progress ever since he lost power in 1983, a sort of antipodean Jimmy Carter, living proof that dull leaders can sometimes make fine retired statesmen. British ex-prime ministers, looking for a role more fulfilling than the corporate lecture circuit, could do worse than copy Mr Fraser, who spent the 1980s campaigning for change in South Africa and helped persuade the US to impose sanctions on the apartheid regime. Since then he has stood apart from his old party's apparent indulgence of intolerance, speaking up for refugees and civil liberties and against Australia's role in the Iraq war. Now he has resigned from his old party in protest at its rightwing new leader Tony Abbott. His independent-mindedness is all the more surprising since Mr Fraser, who turned 80 the other day, was a hardline cold war warrior whose name went down in infamy when he replaced the country's glamorous Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam in a dubious 1970s constitutional coup. His arrival in power seemed to represent stultifying reaction. His retirement has proved the opposite; one political career, at least, that got failure over with first, and then ended in a flourishing golden old age.

For me, there's plenty of harm, usually of the green-eyed and then rapidly depressed kind. When I see pictures of places I'd love to travel to, expensive gifts I'd like to give, elaborate parties I'd like to host, I am stuffed to the gills with inspiration. But reality has that way it does of intruding. I want to fill a suitcase full of present for Dear Boy and the family this year but we can't afford much of anything at the moment and are unlikely to in the near future. I like to do crafty things, but we don't have a sewing machine (nor can I use one). I like to cook but don't have a hell of a lot of time to make something fancy. When I can't have, hold, see or do, I have a tendency to fall into a funk (sometimes there's some very grown-up foot-stamping). So I'm trying to rein myself in, keep my 'wants' a little more realistic, or at least a little more instep with my needs, my time, my budget and my abilities (see if I'm actually achieving that here).
So tropical holidays on white, sandy beaches are far, far away. But we're having a beachy, family holiday this Christmas in a place plenty of people would love to visit. I have a craft box full of fabric scraps that are currently being turned into toys and gifts. I have store-cupboard ingredients that lay idle for most of the year that are being turned into treats. Middle Brother Mountain is visiting in mid-December so we're loading presents into his shiny, red Commodore for the trip back North.
