My Example how to change a file image fieldset to be collapsible
When using a multi image field the form can get rather long. Below is how I changed the fieldset wrapper to be collapsible.
Its not perfect, because I was forced to always set the fields set to be un-collapsed by default. This is because the ajax re-renders the fieldset and then screen position jumps.
* Implements hook_field_widget_form_alter() to alter image fieldsets to be collapsible.
* Code example taken from system_element_info();
function mymodule_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, $context) {
if ($context['field']['type'] == 'image') {
$element['#collapsible'] = TRUE;
// Ajax upload seems to re-render the fieldset as collapsed causing the screen to jump, better to leave the default as not collapsed
$element['#collapsed'] = FALSE;
if (!isset($element['#pre_render'])) {
$element['#pre_render'] = array();
$element['#pre_render'][] = 'form_pre_render_fieldset';
if (!isset($element['#process'])) {
$element['#process'] = array();
$element['#process'][] = 'form_process_fieldset';
// $element['#process'][] = 'ajax_process_form'; // Dont know if this is needed, seems to work without it

may be dump response but
did you flushed the cache? it worked for me. (D7.22)
Can't add submit handler
There doesn't seem to be a way to add a submit handler within this hook. I've tried just about everything and the only handler I can seem to get working is an "#element_validate" handler.
for example, this submit handler never gets called:
function MY_MODULE_field_widget_form_alter(&$element, &$form_state, &$context) {
$element[0]['field_name'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => 'Field Lable',
'#default_value' => FALSE,
'#submit' => array('MY_MODULE_widget_form_submit'),
function MY_MODULE_widget_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
print "it works!";
I don't think there's a way
I don't think there's a way to add submit handler to the widget form. However, I could use "hook_form_alter" and just change the element and add form handler instead. It's perhaps not a good idea to alter the widget element and handle submission.
Does it work on fieldsets provided by modules?
I printed out the fields and none of the fieldsets provided by modules are included. Am I missing something?
Not work for cardinality > 1?
Does this hook work for fields with multiple items as want to alter the widget item forms?. For example, when user clicks "Add more", I want the form returned from Ajax to be altered. It doesn't seem to work for me with file_generic widget. Any ideas?
Just a small thing I've
Just a small thing I've learned today. If you want to add a validate handler to a specific field using this hook you need to add it in #element_validate (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer!topics!forms_api_reference.h...)
Just in case anyone else runs into the issue where I want to add validation to a field in a field collection attached to a paragraph so hook_form_alter isn't going to be possible to use.

Ya know how bad things come in threes? Well, apparently "morning fails" also come in threes.
Case in point:
- To top my morning bowl of oats with some luscious Mighty Maple PB, I stuck the jar in the microwave for 30 seconds to get it all drizzly and nummy. However, I forgot that part of the aluminum seal was still on the jar. In other words, I started a fire in my microwave this morning. Luckily, nobody PB was hurt.
1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
1/2 cup pumpkin
cinnamon, nutmeg + ginger
drizzle of agave
drizzle of maple syrup
roasted Mighty Maple PB
1 tbsp. dark chocolate chips
- Second, as I was putting away my precious container of pumpkin puree (Libby's, obv), I lightly tossed it back in the refrigerator not realizing the lid wasn't on. Pumpkin splatter all over, which is not easy to clean up, FYI.
- Then, as I was getting ready to head out into the rain to walk to work (rainboots on!), I realized I left my umbrella at the office from yesterday's rainy shenanigans. Ugh, NOT a way to start out a Thursday.
I would count not stopping to get coffee as my 4th morning fail, but really that's not a fail. It's just an addiction.
Thanks to stomach cramps, I felt pretty sheisse-y (that's sh!t in German, although this girl probs knew that). However, I was pretty productive and stopped around noonish to enjoy some lunch.
1 cup homemade lowfat Greek yog
9 Nature Valley Mixed Nut Clusters
1 smooshed naner
1 heaping tbsp. Bee's Knees PB
When I am feeling crabby and not so hot, I usually am just really quiet. Hence, the afternoon involved work, silence, Diet Coke and Milk Duds. And finding out I didn't make it to San Fran :(.
But Brandi did – so go and congratulate her! She totally deserves it.
I was supposed to have my 1st day of work at the chic decorating place I am working at part-time through the holidays, but the boss had to reschedule because she got sick. And its still raining. Both things together made it the perfect night to go home, get my PJs on and relax…
Stuffed acorn squash + roasted brussel sprouts + POM Nectarine spritzer = DELICIOUS.
Due to popular demand, it was also time to tape VLOG #2! And reveal the new hair color! Get ready kiddos…unleash a crabby lady with video capabilities, and you never know what could happen.
Have a wondrous night my friends…check back tomorrow for a fun 6-month blogiversary giveaway! Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win some goods celebrating National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

KING ABDULLAH of Saudi Arabia has weakened the hold of Islamic hardliners by appointing the first woman to a ministerial post and dismissing a leading fundamentalist cleric and the head of the nation's powerful religious police.
The reshuffle indicated that the monarch was frustrated with the pace of reform in a kingdom uneasily balanced between moderates and ultra-conservatives. By broadening the voices of modern Islamic thinkers, the king is trying to refashion the religious establishment as the country faces the global financial crisis and renewed threats from al-Qaeda militants.
The king, 84, dismissed Sheik Ibrahim al-Ghaith as head of the Commission of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which oversees the religious police who arrest people considered impure, such as women not properly veiled. He also removed Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan as chief of the highest religious tribunal. Last year, Sheik al-Lihedan issued a fatwa saying it was permissible to kill TV executives for broadcasting "evil" and immoral programs.
Noura al-Fayez, of the Saudi Institute for Public Administration, was elevated to the new post of deputy minister of women's education. The women's education ministry is regarded as highly corrupt and her appointment appeared to be the king's response to lobbying from rights groups to stem discrimination.
In another sign that the king was pushing for more openness within the country's puritanical Wahhabi brand of Islam, the Saudi Press Agency said the body of religious scholars known as the Grand Ulama Commission would be re-established and made up of more moderate Sunni clerics.

Life Sciences organizations often have voluminous numbers of reports and corresponding reference material that need to be prepared for regulatory filings.
Many organizations generate Word and PDF documents which need to be converted in a cross-linked set of documents for submission or for internal use.
Using Microsoft Word, you can create a hyperlink to PDF document easily. Simply select some text in your Word document, right-click and choose hyperlink, then point to a PDF:
While it is easy to link to a PDF, that doesnt' always suit the needs of a busy reglatory professional.
When there are a number of documents which are rapidly changing during the authoring cycle, it can be extremely handy to link to sub-documents (Word files) to allow for quick editing and changes.
That was probably the reason I received the following enquiry via email regarding link capabilities of Acrobat:
If I have several word documents in a directory and the one document is the main Table of contents, I can create links from it to the others where clicking on the link will open the corresponding Word document. When I convert these documents to PDF, the links are broken. Is there a way around this?
Unfortunately, neither Word or the PDF Maker plug-in for Acrobat offer this functionality. When converted to PDF, links in the Word file are maintained to the original source DOC file. In other words, a link to a Word file (in Word) will be a link to a Word file when converted to PDF.
However, there are some workflow tips and workarounds you can use to work around this.

The president had hoped to win control of parliament to push through constitutional changes and gain backing for an $18bn arms deal with the US.
The vote, which could define how Taiwan deals with China, was the first since Mr Chen narrowly won the presidency in March.
What do you think of the Taiwan opposition's victory in the parliamentary elections? What does this mean for President Chen and his party? How will it affect the island's troubled relations with China?
This debate is now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
The following comments reflect the balance of opinion received.
I support the KMT's policy which we should co-operate with China government, but at the same time we need an identity of our own country. As a student who is studying abroad, I prefer to tell people that I am Taiwanese than Chinese.Fran Chen, Netherlands
I am a bit surprised and a bit saddened, but these results are not all bad. It is possible these results will result in Chen nominating a broad consensus cabinet, meaning smoother passage of legislation and less polarizing politicking.Jason, Houston USA
This is a clear rebuke to the pro-independent movement of the pan-green parties. Many Chinese people around the world including myself hope that the Taiwan executive branch will bring greater prosperity for the Taiwanese people including all ethnic groups and not just bringing out hatred and animosity against people within Taiwan and outside because it only hurts thyself! Jerry, NY City, USA
I think its a case of old habits die hard. A lot of voters were not voting for the party but for the local individuals. The Taiwanese are emerging from 50 years of KMT one party dictatorships, rampant vote buying, corrupt KMT gangster-politicians, and political oppression by those who clearly are from and are still wanting to be a part of Mainland China. The Taiwanese DDP are sending a clear message that Taiwan is Taiwan not the defeated and now defunct Nationalist's Republic of China. Old habits die hard but in the end they DO die, unfortunately sometimes not without a fight.Mike White, Ilan Taiwan
Any 'election' in Taiwan is a travesty. Taiwan is a rogue province of China and should brought back into the fold by any means necessary. The US would not stand for Hawaii declaring independence, would they?Walter, New York
The victory by the opposition will serve as a brake on Chen's recent pro-independence moves. However, it is far too early to foresee any possible impacts on the relations across the straits as the new leadership in Mainland China is likely to take different stance from the previous Chinese leaders and people have to wait and see. It is not the case that Mainland China will applaud opposition's victory.James Hsiew, Chicago, US
Opposition alliance's victory will lead to more conflicts in the process of legislation in the next couple of years. What the Taiwanese citizens should worry about is the "Pan-blue" will object that any harm to their benefit. It could be expected that there won't be any significant change between Beijing and Taipei government in next four years owing to the lack of consensus in Taiwan. Samuel H., Aberdeen, UK
The defeat of DPP has two meanings. On one hand, it means that people still have doubt on President Chen's controversial argument just before the election. But on the other hand, it also means that the opposition will try their best to blockade any politics that the President proposed, and this will lead Taiwan into a non-constructive era. The DPP and KMT should try to co-operate for the sake of Taiwan people.Karlon, Taipei, Taiwan
The fact that democracy continues should be seen as a victory for all Taiwan's people. Long may it continue!Tim Morgan, Plymouth
Perhaps now President Chen will realise that pushing for independence doesn't really go down well with everyone in Taiwan and will tone down his provocative moves. Andy, Singapore
This is a sad day in the history of Taiwan - the election indicates that China is slowly forcing its will on the Taiwanese People. Given a chance, China will act like a criminal state and attack Taiwan. It's simply an outrage that China thinks it can bully Taiwan and not be held accountable for its actions by the world community. The world community needs to make it clear to China - keep your hands off Taiwan.Dean, Burnsville, MN, USA
Maybe now we can have a thorough investigation on the questionable presidential election back in March.H Glaber, Taipei, Taiwan
As a American of Chinese ancestry, I feel that Chen Shui-bian is a clever politician who uses internal differences within Taiwan, be it political, cultural etc to his advantage. He has no real views except those that are most beneficial. His legacy will be that fact that he made fools of most voters in Taiwan.Mark Gu Chen, NYC, US
This source of crisis between the United States and China has been smouldering in the background for decades and may soon come to the fore. The United States' willingness to put up or shut up in the defence of an ally which is free, democratic, and prosperous against the aggression of the regional would-be ruler, Communist China, will determine if it has any credibility left at all. Mark, USA

CalPERS' support of CVS decision did not cite any economic reasons and characterized its statement in the vein of what is important to the fund's constituents.
The fund, however, has a long tradition on putting its money behind social issues that also have an economic element. When divesting tobacco stocks in 2000, CalPERS cited the risk of prolonged litigation to its investment. The fund held over $500 million worth of tobacco stocks at the time.
In 2011, CalPERS said it would divest its holding of companies doing business in Iran and Sudan, causing the fund to sell shares in eight firms worth a total of $160 million. The fund and the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) have also recently been pressed by students and California state employees to divest their holding of fossil fuel companies.
CalSTRS, another CVS shareholder, declined on Wednesday to discuss the company's decision to end tobacco sales. However, the fund eliminated new investments in tobacco in 2000 and divested its portfolio of all tobacco in 2009 on the basis of its negative impact on human health and how the nature of that impact affects the industry's long-term profitability.
That investment decision was characterized as part of the fund's fiduciary duty to its members.
Fiduciary Duty and Public Policy
In coming weeks and months, will be interesting to see whether CVS's cessation of tobacco sales will be seen as a compelling fiduciary decision or not. It may also prove yet another example of the tension between short-term and long-term shareholder interests.
If investors were unimpressed by the move, analysts covering CVS's stock appear to believe it could benefit the company in coming years.
"While we expect this change might be a near-term headwind, we believe it will help CVS differentiate itself from other large retail pharmacies and it may be an incremental benefit to the PBM's selling season," Leerink Swann analyst David Larsen said in a Wednesday client note.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch called the tobacco decision a "smart strategy" and noted that tobacco sales were not important to the company's profitability. "We believe the clipped contribution pales in comparison to likely political and social gains to be had with a widespread media focus [on Wednesday]."
"Stopping the sale of cigarettes and tobacco will make a significant difference in reducing the chronic illnesses associated with tobacco use," Troyen A. Brennan, CVS Caremark Chief Medical Officer, said on Wednesday
The company also said its decision to stop selling tobacco products reflected positions taken by the American Medical Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and American Pharmacists Association.

text: Premired at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival mere weeks before its directors sudden death at 92, the final film by master filmmaker Alain Resnais (Hiroshima mon amour, Last Year at Marienbad, Muriel, Mlo, Providence) marks his third adaptation, penned by Laurent Herbiet and Alex Reval, of a work by the English playwright Alan Ayckbourn (following Smoking / No Smoking and Private Fears in Public Places). When the eponymous George Riley, never seen on-screen, discovers hes been diagnosed with a terminal illness, a circle of friends (played by such powerhouses as Sabine Azma, Andr Dussollier, and Hippolyte Girardot), rally and spur him to take part in a play (another Ayckbourn work: Relatively Speaking) with the hope of enriching his final months. Soon after, however, George regains his life-force with full verve, and reattracts the women in his group, threatening their own domestic stability. With hyper-stylised sets nominally located in a fantastical Yorkshire; scene changes announced by cartoons by the French illustrator Blutch; and even an animatronic mole, which critic Cristina lvarez Lpez describes in her accompanying essay as not just a merciless metaphor of George winning over death and returning victoriously to life, not only a sharp comment on the general, patronising attitude toward those who are ill [but] also the best example of how fearlessly Resnais approaches the issues of life and death: as a matter of serious playfulness, of charged lightness. It is that charged lightness, ever-present throughout Resnaiss body of work, that makes Life of Riley (Aimer, boire et chanter, or To Love, Drink, and Sing) such a thrilling testament. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to release Alain Resnaiss (unintentional) swan song in a Dual Format special edition. Bonus Features: 1080p presentation of the film on the Blu-ray New and exclusive video interview about the film with critic and scholar Geoffrey OBrien Original theatrical trailer Interviews with the cast 36-PAGE BOOKLET featuring a new essay by critic Cristina lvarez Lpez; a new note on his collaborations with Alain Resnais by playwright Alan Ayckbourn; and production imageryCheck stock and price

If you go to Sara Douglass' website at www.saradouglass.com you will see that she explains that The Axis Trilogy was the original name and then the following trilogy was called The Wayfarer Redemption. But in the USA they just called all six The Wayfarer Redemption. This is a USA paperback edition therefore it does not mention The Axis Trilogy on the cover but it IS the same Enchanter in both series, according to Sara Douglass. This edition is the cheapest on the market. By the way when you do go to Sara's website she has a few short stories about The Axis Trilogy that complement the book and add a bit more background.
Product Description
The stunning sequel to "The Wayfarer Redemption".
Axis is a true hero, in every sense of the word. On his shoulders lies the double burden of prophecy and war. Having fulfilled the first part of the prophecy by becoming the StarMan, he now must reunite the three races inhabiting his world.
It is his destiny to lead an army against his evil half-brother, to regain control of Tencendor, once the greatest land in the world.
It is his destiny to be caught between the two women he loves, one the epitome of gentility, beauty, and intelligence, the other a fierce warrior with a cunning wit.
And it is his destiny to be thwarted at every turn by the vicious Goragel, an insane monster bent on destroying all that Axis works to preserve . . .
"Enchanter" is the riveting sequel to Sara Douglass's spell-binding first novel "The Wayfarer Redemption," and winner of the 1996 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel. Sara Douglass has taken America by storm with this powerful tale of love, prophecy, battles, and revenge.

Voter ID laws on the increase
MIAMI — Emboldened by the Supreme Court decision that struck down a key section of the Voting Rights Act, a growing number of Republican-led states are moving aggressively to tighten voting rules. Lawsuits by the Obama administration and voting rights activists say those efforts disproportionately affect minorities.
At least five Southern states, no longer required to ask Washington's permission before changing election procedures, are adopting strict voter identification laws or toughening existing requirements.
Texas officials are battling the U.S. Justice Department to put in place a voter ID law that a federal court has ruled is discriminatory. In North Carolina, the GOP-controlled Legislature scaled back early voting and ended a pre-registration program for high school students nearing voting age.
Nowhere is the debate more heated than in Florida, where the chaotic recount in the disputed 2000 presidential race took place.
Florida election officials are set to resume an effort to remove noncitizens from the state's voting rolls. A purge last year ended in embarrassment after hundreds of American citizens, most of whom were black or Hispanic, were asked to prove their citizenship or risk losing their right to vote.
Republican leaders across the South say the new measures are needed to prevent vote fraud. Democrats and civil rights groups say the changes are political attacks aimed at minorities and students — groups that tend to lean toward Democrats — in states with legacies of poll taxes and literacy tests.
In North Carolina, for example, a state board of elections survey found that more than 600,000 registered voters did not have a state-issued ID, a requirement to vote under the state's new law. Many of those voters are young, black, poor or elderly.

Nicole Kidman, Rita Wilson, Billy Crystal, Justin Timberlake and Sarah Silverman are some other stars who mourn the loss of the 'Sleepless in Seattle' director.
Celebrities and movie stars alike are mourning the death of filmmaker/producer/writer Nora Ephron, who lost battle against cancer on June 26. Her longtime friend Meryl Streep, fellow writer Shonda Rhimes and another friend and collaborator Tom Hanks have all offered their condolence upon hearing the sad news.
Streep, who worked with Ephron in 1986's "Heartburn" and 2009's "Julie & Julia", called the third-time Academy Award nominee a "stalwart." She told New York Times, "You could call on her for anything: doctors, restaurants, recipes, speeches, or just a few jokes, and we all did it, constantly. She was an expert in all the departments of living well."
"Grey's Anatomy" producer Rhimes, meanwhile, chose to remember Ephron by quoting her on Twitter, "I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are."
To E! News, "Sleepless in Seattle" actor Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson said Ephron was someone "who knew what was important to know; how things really worked, what was worthwhile, who was fascinating and why."
The couple recalled one evening with her, "At a dinner table and on a film set she lifted us all with wisdom and wit mixed with love for us and love for life. Rita and I are so very sad to lose our friend who brought so much joy to all who were lucky enough to know her..."
Nicole Kidman, who stars in Ephron's 2005 comedy fantasy "Bewitched", gushed about her late collaborator, "She was so smart, warm and funny." The actress continued, "I am so grateful that she was my friend and we had the opportunity to work together. My thoughts and love are with her family at this time. I will never forget the dinners, games and laughter we all shared."
"When Harry Met Sally..." star Billy Crystal was equally sad when learning about her passing. He said. "She was a brilliant writer and humorist. Being her Harry to Meg's Sally will always have a special place in my heart. I was very lucky to get to say her words."
Justin Timberlake tweeted, "R.I.P. Nora Ephron... Funny, charming, witty, full of heart, and one of the greatest who put it all down in timeless, quotable classics." Sarah Silverman wrote, "I just heard about Nora Ephron. I'm so sad. A great & prolific writer, a warm & kind soul. Gone just like that." Many other celebrities and fans took to Twitter to mourn her.
Nora Ephron, 71, passed away at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical surrounded by her family after a long battle with leukemia. She is survived by her sister Delia Ephron, her two sons Jacob and Max, and her director husband Nicholas Pileggi, with whom she tied knot in 1987.

Future Cape Town recently attended a workshop in the Philippi Horticultural Area (PHA) where we learned about its aquifer and the role its farmers play in providing food security for the City of Cape Town.
Why we need to shift our thinking about the Philippi Horticultural Area : A new model for creating a future Cape Town| FUTURE CAPE TOWN
The Philippi Horticultural Area is a unique opportunity to pave a better future for greater Cape Town in regards to job security, education, food production, innovative farming methods, and environmental sustainability.
Why the Philippi Horticultural Area matters : securing Cape Town's water, food and economic security | FUTURE CAPE TOWN
Academics from the University of Cape Town unite in their disapproval of plans by the Mayor to build housing on the Philippi Horticultural Area. The argument has been further supported by Kevin James of GCX Africa recently.
From the desk of Future Cape Town 001: The new school of learning
Standing on a hill overlooking the farmlands of Phillipi, Rashiq Fataar got thinking about the importance of field trips and site visits as a key part of the 'new school' of learning.
Loss of Cape Town farmland will be an irreversible threat to food security.
The proposal to turn some of Cape Town's last remaining farmland over to urban development would be an irreversible loss of agricultural assets and a threat to the food security of the city's economically vulnerable population, as Tamsin Faragher warns.
The Opportunities Await in Philippi
If there's one good thing to come out of the recent controversy around the Philippi Horticultural Area, it is that more people now know that it exists. Whether the redrawing of the urban edge and subsequent development goes ahead or not, it's worth considering the tremendous opportunities that lie in this hidden gem of Cape Town.
Bold City: A Bold Vision for Philippi Horticulture Area
Bold Idea: The Phillippi Horticultural Area is vital for Cape Town's food and water security. The aim is topreserve this unique agricultural area while allowing for sustainable development through democratic processes. This is a bold idea because the City wants to develop the land without properly considering the impact this will have on the city's food and water security, and presents a community vision for the future of Cape Town's breadbasket.
Losing Farmland is Forever
In Cape Town, the Philippi Horticultural Area, a major source of employment and food security is under threat from encroaching development. Future Cape Town's Brett Petzer analyses the city's about-face on supporting development in the area.
The facts: Philippi Horticultural Area
[ August 6, 2013; 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. ] The Phillipi Horticultural Area (PHA) has been in the spotlight of later as the Mayor of Cape Town pushes through a recommendation which could see housing being developed on this land. In anticipation of the decision, the Phillippi community and Greater Cape Town Civic Alliance have shared their facts on the matter.
Cape Town's long term food and water security under threat
Future Cape Town is concerned to hear of the recommendation by the Mayoral Committee to be presented at Council on 31 July 2013, which will rescind the decision of May 2012 to postpone the release of land within the Philippi Horticultural Area (PHA), pending a Food Systems Study.

A case study in "just because you can doesn't mean you should," "Hungry Girl" Lillien continues her assault on common kitchen decency in this compilation of 200 desserts under 200 calories per serving. Favoring convenience over common sense, Lillien's unabashed endorsement of processed foods, boxed mixes, and bizarre combinations may well deliver on their promise, but at what cost? ("Candy Cane Brownies" for example, call for chocolate frosting, sugar-free pudding, devil's food cake mix, canned pumpkin, and candy canes also peppermint extract; "Fruity Caramel Crunchcakes" contain strawberries, strawberry preserves, rice cakes, caramel dip, chocolate chips, and Cool Whip.) As in her previous works, Lillien achieves low calorie counts by relying on fat-free and low-calorie ingredients (often pre-made), making her recipes more of an assembly operation than one that involves baking or other culinary skills. For those new to the kitchen, in a hurry, or simply interested in putting forth as little effort as possible, her Pineapple Bliss cake (literally yellow cake mix and canned pineapple ) or "S'mores Crunchettes"—baked fillo shells with various fillings—could be just the thing for a last-minute get-together. Those who can tell the difference between whipped cream and Cool Whip, however, will want to leave this one alone. (May)

However I'm sure it could be adapted such that the xguest init script can take a user that it wants to turn into an xguest account. The xguest package is a confined SELinux user (xguest_u) with an init script and specialized configuration data. If the script can be modified to take the user name you could probably use it to make arbitrary home directories into xguest accounts. I'm sure Dan has more to say about this since he is the author of the xguest package. Dave

First Odd Golfing Teaser for Divisive Sundance Film 'The Comedy'
by Alex Billington
August 30, 2012
Source: Vulture
Don't be fooled by the title, The Comedy isn't exactly a comedy. Well, it is, but it's a very dark comedy, the kind that may get some love, but others will hate it with a passion. Rick Alverson's The Comedy stars the two guys behind Tim & Eric - Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, plus LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. Heidecker plays an aimless Brooklyn hipster about to inherit his father's estate, but "as his future seems to look more and more comfortable, Heidecker's hipster starts to act out in ways that are ever more uncomfortable." Which is where many of these brilliantly chosen critics' quotes (so damn good!) come from.
Here's the very first teaser trailer for Rick Alverson's The Comedy, debuted on Vulture:
On the cusp of inheriting his father's estate, Swanson (Heidecker) is a man with unlimited options. An aging hipster living in Brooklyn, he spends his days in aimless recreation with like-minded friends in games of comic irreverence and mock sincerity. As Swanson grows restless of the safety a sheltered life offers him, he tests the limits of acceptable behavior, pushing the envelope in every way he can. For more.
The Comedy is directed by filmmaker Rick Alverson, of indies The Builder and New Jerusalem. The script was co-written by Alverson, Robert Donne & Colm O'Leary. This first premiered at this year's Sundance. Tribeca Films is releasing The Comedy in limited theaters on November 16th, plus VOD on October 24th.

What I'm worried about here is that people won't accept anything less than Bryan walking out as champion as a success.
That's the outcome I want, too, but we also have to look big picture here. They obviously want to push Bryan long term now, and I think that will remain the case, particularly if they have Orton cash in on him. It will be different from what happened with Christian in that Bryan would be the face and would likely get his clean retribution down the road.

For Spring 2011, Meadham Kirchhoff designed the most sophisticated Harajuku girl collection of my dreams. Each look is so strong and so perfectly styled, I have to admit, when I saw the clothes in person at the London Show Room, viewing each garment separately felt like seeing them out of context. They didn't seem quite complete without the rainbow hair, the funny patchwork socks, clunky sequined shoes, and the ornate Nasir Mazhar headpieces. Thankfully, I had all the runway images on hand, laid out in the Lisa Frank-style lookbook of my grade-school fantasies, to guide me through how the pieces should be worn. Normally I don't advise lifting looks straight off the runway, but when it's this good, you kinda don't want to mess with it. Just looking at it makes me want to revert to my teenage hair-dyed days, but I know that if I tried the rainbow color combo every member of my family (husband, parents, brother) would think I was having a personal crisis. I will have to settle on pouring over these images over and over--I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The Future of Search: This Time It's Personal
The next stage of search is focused on you and your desktop. Microsoft is leading the charge with new technology that will let you scour your e-mail, networked PCs, or even an external hard drive to find that digital needle in an ever-growing data haystack. MSN says desktop search will be available long before Microsoft's 2006 release of its next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, which is expected to include advanced search capabilities.
Yahoo says it is considering similar desktop search technology, but declined to provide details. Google was in a quiet period leading up to its initial public offering; published reports, however, suggest it too is working on desktop search software.
Hints of where things may be headed are online right now. Search for "Chinese food Houston" at Yahoo, for example, and the top results are not links but the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Chinese restaurants close to Houston's geographic center. Yahoo believes searchers prefer immediate answers to links. Over 140 million people have volunteered their personal information to Yahoo, and it plans to use that data to make search more relevant and personal to them, the company says.
MSN, meanwhile, says its upcoming search engine also will focus on offering personalization and delivering answers.
Amazon.com is pushing the search envelope with a trial search engine called A9.com. Launched in early 2004, A9 ties regular Web search results from Google (enhanced with additional details such as names of sites popular with other visitors to the link) to "Search Inside the Book" results from Amazon. It also stores the user's recent A9 search history.
Eurekster, launched earlier this year, combines social networking with personalized search. Results are based on the search preferences and behavior of your Eurekster contacts as well as your own search history. If you choose classical sites when you search for music, they will dominate your results the next time you search for music.
You can perform a search tied to a Eurekster special-interest group--either a public one such as Parents or Organic Gardening, or a private group. Results from these searches will include sites popular among other group members.

A fortnight on from our hard-fought 2-0 victory in Tiraspol, Moldovan champions FC Sheriff travel to the Lane for an 8.05pm kick-off in Matchday Four.
In form and top of the league again domestically, Sheriff impressed that night but Andre is determined to reach the last 32 with a victory on home soil.
"We had the idea of trying to achieve qualification in these two games against FC Sheriff, it's an opportunity for us to finish the job and I think we have to take it," he said.
"The players are very motivated to achieve qualification as soon as possible as well.
"We look good as a team right now and hopefully that confidence will be turned into a result."
Sheriff caused us a few problems in Tiraspol but we kept another clean sheet – our fifth in a row this European campaign. A sixth tonight will match our best in European competition, achieved on our way to winning the UEFA Cup in 1972.
"Sheriff had some great moments, particularly on the counter," said Andre of that 2-0 win in Matchday Three. "We recognise they had their chances but we had our chances too, especially in the first half. We played a good game.
"I had a brief conversation with their coach, he's very ambitious and they are in a position in their league that's very comfortable for them, so I would expect them to have a go at us."
5 May 2017
It's another busy weekend of football across the club, starting tonight (Friday, May 5) at West Ham. Here's a run-down of all our fixtures over the weekend...
10 April 2017
Our fine 4-0 win against Watford made it six on the trot in the Premier League - matching our best in the Premier League era.
21 March 2017
Our 2-1 victory over Southampton on Sunday made it 10 successive home wins in the Premier League - now the fourth-best sequence of league home wins in the Club's history.

At a small athletics meet in suburban Melbourne on Saturday, the career of one of Australia's greatest athletes will inauspiciously end.
He will not be competing in the event that took him to the pinnacle of his sport, the pole vault, to a summit that only two others have reached. Steve Hooker will run a 200-metre sprint and a 400m relay for Box Hill in the shield final. He will then give away competitive athletics.
If appearing on Dancing With The Stars did not signal his serious athletic career had come to an end, then this will officially be the moment Hooker retires.
"It is definitely not the way I expected things to finish, but in a lot of ways I think the only thing I was holding out for with my jumping was a happy ending … but I ultimately came to terms with the fact that that wasn't motivation enough for me to get back to that point," he said.
"I think in a lot of ways it is nice to finish in humbling circumstances rather than with some incredible performance. It is probably more symbolic of my journey and battles as an athlete than the high points because it was ultimately the challenge of it all that got me into this sport. It was the difficulty of that event that drove me to it, got me hooked on it."
Hooker reached a level of dominance within his sport that few achieve. He has been the Olympic, world, world indoor and Commonwealth (twice) gold medallist. The only thing to elude him was the world record: Hooker's 6.08-metre personal best was the second highest on the all-time list behind Sergey Bubka's long-standing 6.15m mark until Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie this year bettered that with a new record of 6.16m.
At that point in his career, Hooker made vaulting look as difficult as breathing. The record seemed only a competition away, but the allure of the sport was the same thing that cruelled Hooker's future in it.
"It is an event that is nearly impossible to conquer permanently,'' Hooker said. ''You might have the edge on that event for a period of time, but it is so physically and mentally challenging that to keep at that level for a long period of time is very hard."
Maturing, marrying, becoming a father. These clouded his thinking in a sport that requires a singularity of purpose and clarity of mind.
As it turned out, a competition in America the day after his first child, son Max, was born last year was the last time he vaulted competitively.
"That idea of being responsible for a family, it just changed my perspective on everything … I had a realisation that perhaps what I was trying to do was a bit of a selfish pursuit and not really the thing in best interest of family, and that became the priority.
"I really got my head around what it would take to get back to where I needed to be I just don't believe I had that in me. For me, it needed to be 100 per cent commitment to work and have very little else in my life that wasn't a reality for me any more. I am not the person I was in 2008 and 2009 and my situation is different to those years.
"For me, it was always a huge case of overcoming a whole lot of things: overcoming a bit of fear element; overcoming some mechanical deficiencies and stuff like that through my whole career, and it was tenacity which got me through it, like I said, 100 per cent commitment. I just didn't have that feeling any more that I had that to give."

Korean Nuke Link in Paragraph Seven of NYT Syria Airstrike Story
By Ken Shepherd | September 12, 2007 4:16 PM EDT
James Joyner of Outside the Beltway complains that the New York Times buried the lede with an article about an Israeli airstrike in Syria. Turns out there's reason to believe that North Korea may be smuggling "nuclear material" to terror-sponsoring states Iran and Syria:
Talk about burying your lede. This is seven "paragraphs" down in the story (I use scarce quotes because newspaper style favors incredibly short paragraphs and breaks even when the subject has not changed for ease of editing). It's wise to be wary of assertions from unnamed officials about this sort of thing, especially when the target is those perennial bogeymen Iran and Syria but it's hardly inconceivable that the DPRK would sell nuclear materials to our adversaries.

A concise documentary about humanity that asks the question: Why do you do what you do?

The director is heavily drawn to philosophy and during the making of this film, she was going through a questioning period about why one does what they do….
Everyone involved enjoyed being asked this question and though this is not even two minutes long, more people talked to the director about this film than most of her longer narrative film work.

A dairy cooperative in western New York is putting farmers in front of consumers in a "Return to Values" advertising campaign.
The ads tap into the local food movement that is sweeping the country.
"We want consumers to realize just how close to home their milk really comes from," Colleen Aungst, account director for the ad agency Cenergy, told the Buffalo News.
As one ad reminds viewers, "You pass our cows every day, on the way to work in the morning, on your way home at night; they're always there, doing what they do best."
The ads are sponsored by the Upstate Niagara Cooperative.

Peace Lutheran Church groundbreaking is Sunday
Members of Peace Lutheran Church, Nevis, announce plans for a groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. Sunday, April 14 for their church building project.
The new facility will include a worship area, offices, meeting and Sunday School room, offices and restrooms, a fellowship area and kitchen. Construction of the project is scheduled to begin in late April.
For many months, members of Peace have been planning and working diligently to reach this day.
In the fall of 2011, land was purchased and various designs and plans have been brought to the table for open discussion and suggestions. With the success of the building fund stewardship drive, "I'm All In," spring 2013 has been designated as the season to move forward, continuing to build on the foundation of God's Word.
The new 6,000-square-foot facility planned and designed by members of Peace will accommodate the needs of their growing faith community.
All ages will benefit from the new construction that will facilitate Sunday worship service, celebrations, meetings and learning opportunities.
Peace Lutheran is a Lutheran Congregation in Mission for Christ (LCMC), "Christian believers, rooted in God's word, carrying out the great commission."
Members of Peace are thankful to the

Nicole Richie is back at home with her family.
Suffering from pneumonia, the 28 year-old star checked into Cedars-Sinai Hospital earlier this week.
"Don't worry," her boyfriend Joel Madden wrote on the website for his band, Good Charlotte. "All is well and we are home with no problems."
Returning from an international tour, Madden writes that he "stepped off the plane . . . and basically went straight to the hospital for the week . . . Family first."
Now that Richie is on the mend, Madden writes that he's eager to continue work on his next album: "Getting home from the hospital to a healthy family is enough for me, but to do what i love is the icing on the cake."
Madden, 30, is father to Richie's two children: son Sparrow, born in September, and daughter Harlow, 22 months. He and Richie have been together since 2006.

UNION chiefs have criticised proposals to create five super hospitals across Greater Manchester — labelling it a "downgrade" of the region's health services.
Members of Unison's Bolton branch say the Healthier Together review — due to go to consultation this summer — is driven by cuts rather than improving the quality of care.
But Healthier Together chiefs insist their shake-up will improve specialist care and local services.
Karen Reissman, Unison member and secretary of Bolton Save our Health Service campaign, said: "We think Healthier Together is about cuts rather than patient care.
"They are saying hospitals will upgraded if they become the so-called 'super hospitals' but they won't.
"All hospitals like the Royal Bolton are already super-hospitals because they offer the full range of services. The hospitals that become "local" are effectively being downgraded and will lose services.
"We cannot be allowed to join one side in a fight to decide which of our hospitals is to downgrade. It's like deciding which of our arms to have cut off."
Healthier Together — who say the restructure could save up to 1,000 lives every five years — has already earmarked Salford, Oldham and Central Manchester as specialist centres.
The Royal Bolton has been shortlisted alongside Wigan, Stockport and Wythenshawe to become one of two other specialist hospitals in the region.
Bosses at the Royal Bolton are bidding to become a super-hospital and plan to invest in the accident and emergency department, as well as maternity, children and obstetrics.
North Manchester, Fairfield in Bury and Tameside could be classed as "local hospitals" under the proposals — a possibility for Bolton if it is not chosen as a specialist centre.
All hospitals across Greater Manchester will operate as part of a "single service" where two local hospitals will share services with a specialist hospital.
Healthier Together says the Royal Bolton's A&E department and maternity services are not under threat
Patients will be able to give their view on the plans during a series of public events set to take place over the summer — if the consultation is approved by NHS England in July.

6.9 Earthquake In Peru
October 29, 2011 by staff
6.9 Earthquake In Peru, An earthquake measuring 6.9 with epicenter of Peru's central coast earthquake sent panicked people running in the streets on Friday in the cities murderer damaged by an earthquake four years ago. There were no reports of damage, although the directors of hospitals reported at least 20 injured.
People who had lost loved ones and homes in the earthquake before were shaken badly and some broke into tears.
"I felt like that in 2007 he was very strong," said Felix Sihuas RPP radio. He said he was buried under the rubble for six hours on August 15, 2007 earthquake, which killed 596 people and destroyed much of the city of Pisco.
Friday's quake was far less violent in Lima, a city of 8.5 million people. The capital shook for about 30 seconds in a series of moderate movements, oscillating.
Followed by several aftershocks with magnitudes up to 5.5, said U.S. Geological Survey.
He said Friday's quake was centered 31 miles (51 kilometers) south-southwest of Ica, capital of the province of about 200,000 people who have been severely damaged in the earthquake of 2007. It was at a depth of 21.7 miles (35 kilometers).
The directors of two hospitals in Ica, told RPP that 20 people were treated for non life-threatening injuries, including two broken bones.
Administered by the government of Peru's Geophysics Institute put the quake at 6.7 magnitude and depth set to 19 miles (30 kilometers). The USGS said the murderer 2007 quake was centered 24 miles (39 kilometers) deep.
A seismologist at the institute, Hernando Tavera, told RPP the 2007 earthquake released 33 times more energy than the earthquake on Friday, but this time "the scope much wider."
"There was no panic, a lot of panic," said Ruben Vargas, a police officer in Ica, which is flanked by asparagus fields and vineyards that produce wine and pisco liquor.
Vargas said many people were still in the streets about an hour and a half after the 13:54 (18:54 GMT) earthquake. "Little by little, people are calming down, but still outside of their homes," he said.
In Pisco, the police officer Julio Lopez said people are scared even though the earthquake was not as bad as the 2007 earthquake.
"It was not like last time. It was shorter," said Jorge Luis Yupanqui, 30, of Pisco. "Some people began to mourn."
He said he had a big jam in Pisco because, like many others, went home to make sure your family and home were safe.
About 40,000 homes were destroyed in the earthquake of 2007 and the previous government of President Alan Garcia was criticized for the slow pace of reconstruction.

At Lions Drag Strip, from 1970 up to and including "The Last Drag Race," Don Barton was a regular with Clownin' Around his '55 Chevy Gasser.
Fast forward to 2013 and the Barton family is still hammering their '55 down dragstrips throughout Southern and Central California.
What you see here is the just-completed fifth rendition of their original racer.
Clownin' Around caused Don, a ride repair specialist at Disneyland, to start painting race cars and open Barton's Custom Paint & Graphics. Son Todd started squirting cars at 9 and is now the proprietor of Todd Barton Design. Todd's operation is a one-stop shop for all of your automotive design needs: renderings, logos, crew uniforms, T-shirt artwork, vinyl graphics and signs. Don and Todd both drive.
About the car's name: Upon seeing Barton's wild, over-the-top paint job on the first gen '55, SoCal old school painter Steve Fienberg proclaimed, "This looks kike a circus act!" Clownin' Around was born.
The 5th and just-completed version of the '55 S/G ground-up rebuild started in '97. The Bartons took extra time to make sure everything was spot on. The roof and rear quarter panels are from the original, everything else is fiberglass. The new chrom-moly chassis is by Brian Pearson; see the Tech Sheet for details.
Clownin' Around #1. Don Barton, origninal owner, did all of the work including paint. The car is an AHRA C/Gasser, Hilborn injected small-block Chevy with a stock frame, straight front axle from a '55 Chevy truck and a '57 Pontiac rearend. It ran in the low 11s at 123 mph and competed at Lions from '70 until "The Last Drag Race" in '72.
The 2nd gen 1974 Clownin' Around features a big-block Chevy, tunnel ram with two 4 bbls, stock frame, tube axle front end, aluminum interior, fiberglass doors, Lexan windows, Dana rearend and new paint. It raced weekly throughout Southern California, running mid-10s at 130 mph. One of original S/G & Pro Gas competitors, Clownin' Around raced at the first SoCal Pro Gas Assn. race in '78 and participated in the first S/G Elim. at NHRA National Event (Winternationals '81).
The 3rd gen from 1984 had a 477-ci big-block with a single Dominator, front-halved chassis, strut front end and new paint. The car ran mid-9s at 135-mph, racing biweekly throughout California at S/G events.
The 4th gen in 1995 was mechanically the same as #3 but with new paint.
It won Best Appearing Car at the '95 NHRA Winternational and raced throughout California at S/G events including Super Chevy shows.
Team Barton: (Left to Right) Martha, Troy (Todd's wife and son), Todd and Don (Don's wife Jean was not available for photo).
Zthe Ray Zeller-built 540-ci Chevy produces 950 hp and is expected to run mid-eight second ETs.
Gen 5 is meticulously crafted from stem to stern.
Aluminum paneling by Paul Alabab; upholstery, seats, belts/harnesses by Taylor Motorsports; RacePak instruments; Casner powerglide; Hurst shifter; and Continental torque converter
Race car? Show car? Todd's graphic design and execution plus fit and finish blurs the distinction, but make no mistake, this '55 is no trailer queen—it's all racer.
Send in the clowns, but no one's laughing, especially the competition.
Because of scrupulous attention to detail, gen 5 was taking a long time to complete. Itching to race, in 2000, the Bartons bought a '96 Under Cover chassis and competed in Super Comp, Super Eliminator and Top Dragster throughout California. Todd won 2004 Super Comp Eliminator at NHRA's Las Vegas national event and the 2011 Phoenix NHRA Div. 7 race.
Ray Zeller was also commissioned to built the dragster's big-block Chevy.
The dragster's "interior" is as neatly finished as its doorslammer partner's.

Embracing move towards an open defecation free village
By Tapuwa Loreen Mutseyekwa
08 November, 2012 – Binga:, An iconic figure has emerged from among the Tonga people of Binga, a community, whose ardent hold onto their cultural and traditional ways has often been viewed as archaic. Within Kasi Village, situated more than 1 000km north west of the capital city, Harare, Gogo Saliya Mumpande is lauded as being one of the first villagers to embrace change and set up a toilet at her homestead.
Since settling in this dry and arid part of the country before 1947, the Mumpande family has never built a toilet, but has instead used the bushes for purposes of defecating. But now in her golden years, Gogo Mumpande has heeded the lessons being chanted under the Zimbabwe Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (ZimCATS) project which UNICEF, together with Government and Civil Society partners is encouraging the creation of Open Defecation Free Villages. AusAid is providing the financial support necessary for the roll out of this project.
"Using the bushes had become our culture and lifestyle….we had become so used to it and we never saw anything wrong with it", says Gogo Mumpande as she chuckles and points to the limited vegetation around her homestead and declares them as her toilet of the past.
They are not alone, throughout Zimbabwe, more than 69% of rural households have for long failed to have access to improved toilet facilities, and 39% of them practice open defecation. In the district of Binga, sanitation coverage is at only 5.9%. In Kasi village, 15homesteads (consisting of 49 households) did not have toilet facilities the time the ZimCATS project was introduced in January 2012. The ZimCATS project was piloted as a step towards affording every human being the decency and privacy required during defecation, while at the same time reducing the spread of diseases associated with improper fecal disposal.
Today a near completion toilet is being accessed by the eight households who live under Mumpande's homestead. As subscribed under the ZimCATS project, Gogo Mumpande and her family have used locally available materials in the construction of their super structure, and thus a pole and dagga structure surrounds the pit that has been cement lined and slabbed. The roof of this local version of a uBVIP toilet is thatched and is set to be installed with an air vent to allow proper air circulation.
"A lot of people think that we the Tonga people do not want to develop; we want to be as modern as people in other parts of the country but often we do not have proper information and we are poor", says Gogo Mumpande.
"Under this project, communities are being empowered to realise that with the materials locally available to them, they can put up a toilet and reduce the incidents of diarrheal diseases which are mostly caused by poor sanitation," says UNICEF Representative, Dr. Gianni Murzzi.
But it is not easy for a community to achieve 100% ODF status as there remain pockets of resistance among some of the villagers. The Mudhimba family, headed by Austin Mudhimba, remains the only homestead refusing to dig a pit for the setting up of a toilet. This family, which is migrant by nature and recently settled in Kase village, believes that going into the bush, digging a small hole and hiding the feces is just as hygienic a practice as using a toilet. While the female occupants of this homestead would not mind a toilet in their yard, Austin is refusing outrightly.
"What our neighbors do not realise is that our domestic animals are free range and they will eventually unearth and eat on these faeces," laments Gogo Mumpande. "This means when I eventually eat my chickens, I will likely get diseases from their waste."
A critical instrument in the roll out of the ZimCATS project has been setting up of Sanitation Action Groups (SAG), a team of dedicated locally based cadres instituted to get community buy-in and to further support community initiatives in the construction of latrines. One of the urgent assignments of the SAG will be to find mechanisms to convince Austin Mudhimba to follow the example of the other 49 households who are working towards making Kase village Open Defecation Free.

Premiere Game of Lobo Classic Challenge Rained Out + Longview Preps for Tough District
LONGVIEW — A heavy mist rained out the cross-town rivalry game between Longview and Pine Tree. The game which was expected to bring out the most fans of the entire 16-game, round-robin tournament.
Like a phrase that was thrown around through Longview's mixed performances in its tournament, that's the way baseball goes. The game will not be made up because the Lobos open District 12-5A against Mesquite on Tuesday at home.
The good news was none of the teams that made significant efforts to get to Longview — Texas High, Texarkana (Ark.) Arkansas High, El Dorado (Ark.) and Lake Hamilton (Ark.) — lost a game.
"It is disappointing, but that's why I put it last," Longview skipper Bernie Martinez said. "We didn't have to disappoint people that were traveling. We can cancel this game and it's not that big of a deal because we play a lot against them in the summer and fall. I know the fans love seeing this game, but for the players it's not that big of a deal because we do it all the time. With district coming up, I didn't want to get anyone hurt."
Lobo Field, which had already hosted 12 games through three days, gave up during Brook Hill's game against Lake Hamilton. Those two teams players' body language reflected they were hoping their game got cancelled with a lot of stalling late as the mound and home plate bogged down.
The Longview and Pine Tree coaching staffs, meanwhile, were on the phone checking to see if Pine Tree's field had held up any better so the game could be moved there. The two schools decided it was better to call off the game.
Longview's staff did everything it could between innings to keep the tournament alive, but Brook Hill's game was interrupted late with mound and home plate repairs.
The Lobos (7-10) wrapped up their tournament with a 17-1 against Lake Hamilton on Friday evening. It had lost its prior games against 4A's second-ranked Whitehouse, Texas High and El Dorado.
"We've won games on pitching," Martinez said. "I really can't say defense because our defense has been inconsistent. We hadn't had a game where we were moving the bats, hitting in gaps and doing it at the rate we were doing it last night. That was great to see. Sometimes it's all you need to get things going offensively."
Longview handled everything with great sportsmanship. As it was its own tournament, the Lobos staff, players and managers volunteered time doing field maintenance work and running the administrative side of things.
They were there putting the tarps on the mound and home plate to signify the conclusion of the event.
"Future plans, I imagine Pine Tree and Texas High will not be back because they're going to be district foes now," Martinez said. "I'm looking to try to get more out-of-state schools to come down. Traditionally, this used to be a Arkansas and Oklahoma versus Texas tournament. I'd like to make that again. I'm going to pursue some Oklahoma teams and more Arkansas teams. I know Springdale (Ark.) is interested in coming down next year."

In his prominent work, The Concept of Mind (1949), the philosopher Gilbert Ryle describes the 'fundamental mistake' made by Descartes' dualism and much of western philosophy of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The error lies in the category mistake of assigning mind and the brain as coexisting. While there is a mind and a body, the two have distinct existences and the dualist view cannot explain how one affects the other.
This concept is illustrated by one of Ryle's examples in the text. When a prospective student visits a university, s/he will see the library, the labs, the sports arena, but then many very well ask the tour guide, "but where is the university?", having been under the assumption that it is a different place altogether. The same is done by Descartes, according to Ryle, and it becomes necessary to alter the way in which we describe the entities of mind and brain.
Another illustration of a category mistake is that of the Average Taxpayer. One can have a discussion about the Average Taxpayer but you won't come across him in the streets. The mistake is in thinking that the Average Taxpayer is a fellow citizen as real as yourself. With this mindset the Average Taxpayer becomes an elusive insubstantial man, a kind of ghost. A ghost that Ryle argues Descartes is mistakenly looking for.
