Bishop John Steinbock, leader of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno, died Sunday. He was 73.
Church officials said the bishop was surrounded by family and friends when he passed away around 3:10 a.m. at the Saint Agnes Medical Center.
The Fresno Bee reports that Steinbock told church officials and parishioners in August that he was suffering from lung cancer. He was also treated for facial cancer in the past year.
Steinbock was admitted to Saint Agnes in early November after complaining of shortness of breath and lack of energy.
Diocese spokesman Deacon Jesse Avila told the newspaper that after undergoing tests at the hospital, it was determined that Steinbock had a blood clot in his right lung and others in his legs.
It was unknown if the blood clots were related to Steinbock's cancer treatment, but the clots are a complication to the treatment and recovery, Avila said.
Steinbock had been the diocese's bishop since 1991. The diocese includes about 1 million parishioners in Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Madera, Merced, Mariposa, Kern and Inyo counties.
Born in Los Angeles in 1937, Steinbock was ordained to the priesthood in 1963 at the Cathedral of St. Vibiana in Los Angeles, according to the church's Web site.
He had also served as bishop for the Diocese of Orange and as third diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Santa Rosa.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Roger Clemens arrived the Houston Astros' minor league clubhouse on Tuesday and walked straight to a fenced-in bullpen to greet his oldest son, Koby, a catcher in the Astros' system.
He snapped at a photographer who started clicking pictures.
"This isn't a zoo!" Clemens barked.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner was calmer a few minutes later, but refused to answer questions about the Mitchell Report or a possible criminal investigation into his denials of steroid use.
"Everything's been said that needs to be said on that," Clemens said. "We're moving forward. It's baseball time."
Clemens thinks the public is tired of hearing about performance-enhancing drugs in the sport. He sure is.
"You ought to be asking baseball questions," he said. "It's time to move on and get on with baseball."
Clemens will pitch batting practice from Wednesday through Friday.
RAYS: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Scott Kazmir missed a scheduled intrasquad game appearance Tuesday after feeling discomfort in his elbow on his final warmup pitch.
The AL strikeout champion had warmed up in the bullpen without a problem, then watched the first half-inning from the bench. He threw three warmup pitches before leaving the mound and walking to the clubhouse for tests.
GIANTS: At Scottsdale, Ariz., San Francisco Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his injured left knee.
Mets 4, Michigan 4, 9 innings: At Port St. Lucie, Fla., David Wright homered his first time up and the Mets tied the University of Michigan in an exhibition game worked by an umpiring crew of four women.
Wright hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Michel Abreu hit a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie it, and the game was called after the inning ended.
Tigers 17, Florida Southern 4: At Lakeland, Fla., Miguel Cabrera, Placido Polanco and Brandon Inge each homered for Detroit, along with non-roster invitees Scott Sizemore and Michael Hollimon. Colin Kaline, grandson of Tigers Hall of Famer Al Kaline, went 0-for-4 and played second base for Florida Southern.
Marlins 7, Miami 2: At Jupiter, Fla., Alejandro De Aza had two hits and an RBI and Chris Seddon struck out three in two scoreless innings for Florida, which used eight pitchers and allowed only one walk.

When the Bruins head north to Montreal, they know they're going to have to come with full energy right from the drop of the puck, and that was again the case on Wednesday.
During the first 10 minutes especially, the Canadiens brought everything they had against the B's and goaltender Tuukka Rask in particular. Luckily for Boston, their netminder was up to the challenge, putting aside 20 of 21 shots overall.
After the game, Andy Brickley, not one to take a night off, stopped by NESN Daily to break down the Bruins' performance. Check it out in the video above.

Matritech has evolved to meet the needs of its customers since it was founded back in 1989. Back then, the company's main focus was die design and fabrication. But as its customers' needs changed and expanded, so did Matritech's offering.
Today, the company is a one-stop shop for metal parts manufacturing, with the ability to offer a wide range of services from its state-of-the-art facility in Drummondville, Que.
Laser cutting and CNC punching
Matritech's cutting department employs three types of digitally controlled machines. Its laser machine is equipped with a charging and storage system of 36-unit integrated turrets. Its CNC punching machine is equipped with an "X" and "Y" shear system. In addition, the company's laser punching machine combines the speed of a punching machine with the versatility of a laser for cutting more complex shapes.
Robotic and CNC bending
Matritech has a robotic bending cell that features two gripping arms. This allows the robot to take pieces laid flat, analyze them, complete the bending operations and place them on an automated conveyor. The facility also houses a collection of versatile CNC standard bending presses, adding a variety of dimensions, complexities and metal part families that can be manufactured.
Robotic and manual welding
Matritech offers a complete welding department for steel, stainless steel or aluminum assembly projects. Its department utilizes multi-axle welding robots and pulsed arc welding technology to produce complex welding assemblies for both high-volume and small-scale production projects.
Matritech's mechanical presses have a pressing capacity of up to 500 tonnes. Stamping can be done from blank parts or with metal coils to ensure continual high-volume production.
Matritech manufactures a wide range of dies. Its progressive dies are ideal for high-volume parts production, while its manual transfer tool is more suited for metal sheet bending short-runs.
CNC machining
The company's tooling department also features machining centres with two pallet changers for high-speed part production.
Additional capabilities
Matritech is also equipped with a department specializing in aluminum extrusion transformation. In addition, the company has an assembly department with the capacity to handle bolting, bonding, riveting, crimping, labelling, bagging and packing. Matritech can also handle metal parts finishing, with the expertise to offer various surface coating options, from paint, plating and anodizing, to silk-screening and passivation.

Section: Scripting Language (1)
Updated: 2014
Index?action=index Return to Main Contents
php - PHP Command Line Interface 'CLI'
php-cgi - PHP Common Gateway Interface 'CGI' command
php [options] [ -f ] file [ args...]
php [options] -r code [ args...]
php [options] B begin_code] -R code [-E end_code] [[- args...]
php [options] B begin_code] -F file [-E end_code] [[- args...]
php [options] -- [ args...]
php [options] -a
php [options] -S addr:port [-t docroot]
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This is the command line interface that enables you to do the following:
You can parse and execute files by using parameter -f followed by the name of the file to be executed.
Using parameter -r you can directly execute PHP code simply as you would do inside a .php file when using the eval() function.
It is also possible to process the standard input line by line using either the parameter -R or -F. In this mode each separate input line causes the code specified by -R or the file specified by -F to be executed. You can access the input line by $argn. While processing the input lines $argi contains the number of the actual line being processed. Further more the parameters -B and -E can be used to execute code (see -r) before and after all input lines have been processed respectively. Notice that the input is read from STDIN and therefore reading from STDIN explicitly changes the next input line or skips input lines.
PHP also contains an built-in web server for application development purpose. By using the -S option where addr:port point to a local address and port PHP will listen to HTTP requests on that address and port and serve files from the current working directory or the docroot passed by the -t option.
If none of -r -f -B -R -F -E or -S is present but a single parameter is given then this parameter is taken as the filename to parse and execute (same as with -f). If no parameter is present then the standard input is read and executed.

- The configuration file for the CGI version of PHP.:
- /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
- The configuration file for the version of PHP that apache2 uses.:
- php -r 'echo "Hello World\n";'
- This command simply writes the text "Hello World" to standard out.:
- php -r 'print_r(gd_info());'
- This shows the configuration of your gd extension. You can use this to easily check which image formats you can use. If you have any dynamic modules you may want to use the same ini file that php uses when executed from your webserver. There are more extensions which have such a function. For dba use:
<DD CLASS="c4|php -r 'print_r(dba_handlers?(1));':
- php -R 'echo strip_tags($argn)."\n";'
- This PHP command strips off the HTML tags line by line and outputs the result. To see how it works you can first look at the following PHP command php -d html_errors=1 -i which uses PHP to output HTML formatted configuration information. If you then combine those two php ...|php ... you'll see what happens.:
- php -E 'echo "Lines
- $argi\n";':Using this PHP command you can count the lines being input.:
- php -R '@$l+=count(file($argn));' -E 'echo "Lines
- $l\n";':In this example PHP expects each input line being a file. It counts all lines of the files specified by each input line and shows the summarized result. You may combine this with tools like find and change the php scriptlet.:
- php -R 'echo "$argn\n"; fgets(STDIN);'
- Since you have access to STDIN from within -B -R -F and -E you can skip certain input lines with your code. But note that in such cases $argi only counts the lines being processed by php itself. Having read this you will guess what the above program does: skipping every second input line.:
You can use a shebang line to automatically invoke php from scripts. Only the CLI version of PHP will ignore such a first line as shown below:
// your script

NCAA Still Concerned Over Ruling In O'Bannon Case, Asks If Applies To Current Athletes
Citing concerns by member schools, the NCAA has "asked a federal judge for an 'urgent clarification' about when the injunction starts in the Ed O'Bannon ruling," according to Jon Solomon of CBSSPORTS.com. In her ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken wrote the injunction "would not take effect until the start of the next recruiting cycle and would not affect any recruit who will enroll in college before July 1, 2016." The NCAA in a letter wrote, "This has prompted concerns among colleges and universities that the injunction might, contrary to the Court's opinion, apply immediately to current student-athletes." The NCAA wrote that it "believes Wilken's language to mean she is only referring to compensation for athletes first enrolling after July 1, 2016." But the NCAA has asked Wilken to "clarify the injunction won't start until Aug. 1, 2015, for players who enroll after July 1, 2016" (CBSSPORTS.com, 8/11). Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby yesterday said Wilken's injunction "strikes a middle ground" by keeping payments to players within the college sports model. Bowlsby: "I'm not tremendously comfortable with any of it. I think it was a very nuanced and thoughtful decision and one that probably resides a lot closer to my philosophy of a student-athlete than what some of the other plaintiffs and others might view. I think there is reason for hope." Bowlsby added conferences and schools "are unnamed co-conspirators in this case." Bowlsby: "We're not defendants in this case. The NCAA is so that's their decision to make (about appealing). I just think there are issues that go beyond the current outcome." Bowlsby said that the ruling did "not move to anything that would be perceived as professional sports and that the 'collegiate model' remains largely intact" (CBSSPORTS.com, 8/11).
LAND OF CONFUSION: In S.F., Ann Killion writes, "I don't know exactly what last week's ruling ... means for college sports. But I'm certain of one thing: It has left everyone, on both sides, confused." For the moment, "all we're really left with are endless questions and the specter of more lawsuits" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 8/12). GRANTLAND's Charles Pierce wrote the "problem is that the section of the ruling concerning" the players' pay cap is "so unclear that whether the $5,000 number on the trust is a floor or a ceiling depends vitally on which Google link you happen to click." Lawyers from both sides are "howling for clarifications, and even the NCAA seems utterly baffled." Nothing about college sports "ever is going to be uncomplicated, it appears" (GRANTLAND.com, 8/11). But in L.A., Chris Dufresne writes the "picture is a tad clearer," and the ruling "wasn't, as it turned out, a crushing blow to the NCAA." Wilken's ruling was a "fairly reasonable assessment of the uncomfortable relationship between capitalism and the socialist-minded NCAA." She said that players should "be paid for use of their names, images and likeness while in college, yet fell short of turning college sports into the free-market Ayn Rand Institute." Dufresne writes the $5,000 cap "seems reasonable to me, and I don't see how it dramatically alters the landscape" (L.A. TIMES, 8/12).
IT'S ALWAYS SONNY: In N.Y., Joe Nocera writes former adidas, Nike and Reebok exec Sonny Vaccaro is "as responsible for the O'Bannon case as anyone." Vaccaro "first got the idea for the lawsuit in the late 1990s, around the time that ESPN bought Classic Sports Network" for $175M. The players in those games have "long since left college, yet they have no rights to their names and likenesses, just as had been the case when they were in school." Vaccaro wondered how that could "possibly be OK?" Vaccaro in '07 "quit his final job in the sneaker industry ... to devote his time to fighting the NCAA, an organization he had come to loathe." Vaccaro yesterday said, "Do I wish the decision had gone further? Sure. It vindicated people like me, who have been voices in the wilderness for so long" (N.Y. TIMES, 8/12).
POWER PLAY: The NCAA D-I BOD last week also voted to give autonomy to the Power 5 conferences, and Tulane AD Rick Dickson said that his university, along with the other American Athletic Conference programs, were "ready for the new governance structure." He said that Tulane will "adhere to what the Power Five decide to do with cost of attendance." Dickson: "We've been actively participating in the American Athletic Conference. So we've collectively discussed and taken positions on this. And I can tell you that unanimously all of our schools have voted to make certain that in the event that that legislation for cost of attendance takes place, we will concur with that. It kind of fits into our overall outlook and objective in our partnership with our student-athletes. We take care of our kids" (NOLA.com, 8/11). In Tucson, Greg Hansen notes athletes in the Power 5 are "likely to be given an extra $2,000 to $5,000 a year for expenses not covered by a typical scholarship." That is "spending money, which is overdue and well-deserved." The "most meaningful part of any potential revenue sharing will be extended medical and insurance benefits and common-sense care for a former athlete" (ARIZONA DAILY STAR, 8/12).
WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE GUYS? In St. Paul, John Shipley writes, "What becomes of the college sports that aren't very big business?" Univ. of Oregon Warsaw Sports Marketing Center Dir Paul Swangard said, "Post-ruling, there are going to be a lot of schools saying, 'How can we justify carrying these things forward?'" Univ. of Minnesota baseball coach John Anderson "concurs," and sees the NCAA "ready to commit more resources to football when most athletics departments already struggle to stay in the black." Anderson: "Any (baseball) team in the northern half of the country has to feel threatened" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 8/12).
After Last Year's Rose Bowl Victory, Michigan State Expects Near Record Season-Ticket Sales
Michigan State officials are "expecting at or near record season ticket sales" for the upcoming football season following the '13 season that saw the Spartans win their first Rose Bowl since '88, according to Brian Calloway of the LANSING STATE JOURNAL. MSU AD Mark Hollis said, "Our ticket numbers are looking good. Those are the residual upside (from the Rose Bowl) from a revenue standpoint." Calloway noted MSU's "previous record for season ticket sales was 63,831" in '12. The "expected boost in the box office has been one of many positive gains for MSU from last year's success." Although "not as impactful as the revenue gained from ticket sales, the school also saw a boost on the merchandise front by increasing their profit $390,000 in the last fiscal year." The royalty figures from "Rose-Bowl specific apparel" totaled $466,154, and MSU noted a "boost in profit last December and this January over those months in the previous year." Hollis added, "We saw a pretty good jump in retail sales through online and had a good return" (LANSING STATE JOURNAL, 8/10).
HIGH SCORE: In Seattle, Adam Jude reported the Univ. of Washington as of last week had "sold 43,398 season tickets for the 2014 football season," which is 92% of the '13 total of 46,978. Those figures "do not include student-ticket sales." The school had the "highest increase in home attendance of any FBS program" in '13, with an "average of 68,769 fans for seven games at the new $280 million Husky Stadium" (SEATTLETIMES.com, 8/11).

Farrah Abraham may no longer be a Teen Mom, but she is still using her experience of being a young mother in a positive way. She recently penned a children's book, Passy Perfume, based on her own daughter's struggle to give up her pacifier. While it may not sound like another New York Times Bestseller (that's right, her first book, My Teenage Dream Ended made the list), it's cute and fun for both toddler and preschool-aged children. According to MTV, the book is a girl's struggle to ditch the binky," but it is really so much more than that!
As I mentioned before, I had intended to purchase this book, not necessarily for my son, but more for myself. I am a big Teen Mom fan and was interested to see how the book would turn out. When I first read through it myself I thought it was colorful and cute, but I wasn't sure how my son would react. At bedtime, I showed him the cover of the book and asked if he would like for me to read it to him. He asked me to and we went through the few pages in Passy Perfume pretty quickly. Even though it went fast, there was no denying the huge smile he had on his face each time I flipped the page!
I'm not sure it the story itself really resonated with him; he doesn't have a pacifier problem, but does have a blanket he is quite attatched to for the same reasons that Sophia talks about in the book. This, to me, was one of the strongest points and showed me that Abraham really gets this motherhood thing. Rather than seeing the pacifier as simply an inconvenience that needed to go, she realized that Sophia's pacifier made her feel secure and that it has helped her get through some really difficult times.
I likened Sophia's pacifier attachment to my sons with his blanket. The book may not have taught my son a lesson, but it did help me to understand his attachment better. Rather than tell my son that he has simply "outgrown" his blanket, I can turn it into a keepsake that he can hold onto for years to come. He may not like the idea of a perfume like Abraham turned her daughter's pacifier into, but perhaps stitching his blanket into a bigger blanket or using it as a wall hanging would be good ideas.
Obviously, I haven't thought this through completely, but I am glad that I read Farrah Abraham's book. Even though it was more for children, parents can learn a valuable lesson from it as well!
Do you like the idea of turning your child's attachment into a keepsake?

Every year on Boxing Day the Port Arthur Historic Site is very pleased to host the Port Arthur Woodchops. It is thought that this is one, and possibly THE longest running, sports carnival in Australia.
Research has shown that the Boxing Day festival has received over 15,000 newspaper entries over the last century or so. These reports have also reinforced that for many years the festival involved more than just wood chopping.
Activities have included footraces, jumping, athletics, stalls, bike races, shot put, cricket ball throwing, nail driving, three-legged races and even dances.
This year, in conjunction with the Wood Chop organisers and our Community Advisory Committee, the Port Arthur Historic Site has decided to reintroduce some of these 'traditional' events. It should be a great day for the kids, with a range of races – including the well loved egg-and-spoon – and a number of stalls. As well as the much appreciated Lions Club food van, the stalls will include a coffee outlet, handicrafts and freshly baked goodies.
December 26, also sees the commencement of our Family Fun Activities program, including making peg dolls and convict bricks, so it will be a great family day.

Back in the early to mid-1970s, I don't think there was a more beloved popular novelist in America (or perhaps the world) than James Herriot. Herriot, the Yorkshire vet who at 50, decided to write fictionalized accounts of his practice during the 1930s and 1940s, became an international bestseller once his first two short stories were gathered together in America under the new title, All Creatures Great and Small. His second compilation, All Things Bright and Beautiful, was even more popular, spawning a feature film version of his first success (All Creatures Great and Small, made in 1975, debuted on television here in the States and starring Simon Ward and Anthony Hopkins), and a television movie sequel. The success of those two feature films inspired the BBC to produce the long-running TV series (premiering in 1978), which is presented in its entirety in All Creatures Great & Small: The Complete Collection, a massive 28-disc collection of every TV episode and special produced under the series' name. The total running time is well over 80 hours worth of Herriot adventures (add another seven or so hours of extras, as well), which should be more than enough to please fans of vintage British TV (I loved every minute of it).
Growing up in the 1970s, it wasn't unusual to see a dog-eared paperback of one of Herriot's books lying around most people's homes; he sold millions and millions of editions, with Americans in particular warming to the slightly romanticized adventures of the young, naďve vet who comes to the wild, untamed Yorkshire dales during the Great Depression. I read all the books when I was young, and when the TV series came out on PBS back in the late 70s, early 80s, I was a fan, as well. While I found the books to be slightly more realistic about the hardships and unsentimental aspects of the hardscrabble farming community of Yorkshire, the TV series did an excellent job (more so in its early seasons) of balancing the sweet, life-affirming qualities of Herriot's short stories, and the rather indifferent, some may even say cruel, realities of farmers and farming life, and the life and death cycles of their beasts of burden.
As you may know, the stories concern James Herriot (Herriot used this pseudonym because of professional vet rules that prohibited him from writing under his real name, Alf Wight), a young doctor straight out of medical school who takes a job as an assistant to Siegfried Farnon, a Yorkshire vet who is trying to rebuild a practice he purchased from an older partner who had let the business go to pot. Eccentric and mercurial, Siegfried immediately warms to the naďve but talented Herriot, and takes him on as his assistant. Herriot, who is book-smart but woefully unprepared for the wily, cagy farmers who still cling to medieval superstitions about their animals, finds the going tough at first (as well as finding enormous personal satisfaction in his duties), but gradually gains the confidence of Siegfried and the local community.
Adding to the fun is the arrival of Siegfried's wayward, lazy younger brother Tristan, who is also studying (rather unsuccessfully) to be a vet. Siegfried's relationship with Tristan is one of constant outrage and yelled threats at Tristan's indolence, followed by immediate forgiveness and almost slight enjoyment of Tristan's high-spirits. Ever the romantic pursuer, Tristan's emotional entanglements with various local women make up quite a few stories in the series, while James enjoys a competitive, jocular tension with Tristan marked by practical jokes and compassionate understanding of their differences. James as well is given a romantic life, when he meets and marries the lovely farm girl Helen Alderson. As the series progresses, the couple have two children (Jimmy and Rosie), while the stories span the time period of the Great Depression, the emergence of World War II, and then later, the 1950s, with the emergence of the small-animal care industry, better vaccines, and the loss of the horse as the main engine of farm labor.
I would imagine that a good part of the enormous appeal of the novels and the series (which has also been a decades-long worldwide hit in syndication and reruns) is that distinctly "British" feeling we Anglophiles crave when reading our Christie armchair murder mysteries or watching our umpteenth BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Certainly the relative "quaintness" of Herriot's novels succeeded in America precisely because he was writing about a way of life that by the early 1970s had long passed on. In one of the extras included in this All Creatures Great & Small: The Complete Collection DVD set, Herriot is interviewed (back in 1976), and he discusses how completely changed the farming life had become since the dark days of the Depression. The influx of better and more specific vaccines, the increased mechanization and modernization of larger and more efficient farms, and the increase in communication technology, had brought the farmers Herriot wrote about, out of their almost total isolation into the modern world. That nostalgia, despite Herriot's skill at illustrating the pain as well as the beauty of the world of farm animals, is what fueled book sales and TV ratings for all the various incarnations of All Creatures Great & Small.
And of course, now you have the reflexive, strangely self-feeding "nostalgia for nostalgia" experience that can be had for fans of the series who watched it when first premiered, and loved that experience so much that they want to have it again on DVD (a "nostalgic longing for nostalgic TV shows" experience that I've written about before in a review of the very similar American TV series, The Waltons - please click here to read that review). And I must say, watching all of the episodes again after over twenty years, All Creatures Great & Small holds up surprisingly well. There's a quiet gentleness to the series that struck me first and foremost. If your TV viewing experience has spanned a couple of decades, it's immediately noticeable, once you go back and watch shows from about the 1970s and prior, that TV has changed drastically in tone and pace (not to mention, obviously, content). Stylistically, TV was so much more sedate, for lack of a better word, and All Creatures Great & Small is the perfect example of that stillness of execution. Episodes frequently allow plenty of time for individual scenes to properly develop, with the subsequent effect on the performances a favorable one.
There's an ensemble feel to All Creatures Great & Small's cast that grows with each episode. Of course it helps that each actor, from then-newcomer Christopher Timothy as James, to veteran character actor Robert Hardy as Siegfried, is almost perfectly cast. Timothy has the hardest role, that of the straight, somewhat square Herriot, who has to come off to the audience as competent in this vet duties, but naďve and appealing in his dealings with the farmers and Siegfried. Hardy has the easy role, with the eccentric, at times almost flamboyant Siegfried, and he runs with the part. Twisting his lines with bemused, comical "joy of life" muggings, Hardy is an absolute joy in the part, with it becoming the signature role in his long, illustrious career. Peter Davison (who no doubt is familiar to sci-fi fans the world over as one of the Dr. Who incarnations) has a relative small part at the beginning of the series (beefed up subsequently because of his immediate popularity in the role) which expands to include innumerable romantic conquests and layabout skiving - much to the delight of fans. Veteran Mary Hignett is perfect as the irascible, flinty housekeeper Mrs. Edna Hall, and author and actress Carol Drinkwater brings an earthy, believable sexiness and grace to the Helen character. Special mention must go out as well to the hilarious Margaretta Scott as the magnificently dotty Mrs. Pumphrey (she of the pampered Pekinese Tricky-Woo)
The stories themselves are neatly concise, flowing from episode to episode with the main internal story arc being James' gradual maturing into a competent country vet while he meets, woos and weds Helen. Witty without being laugh-out-loud funny, All Creatures Great & Small's low-level "quaintness" goes a long way towards establishing and maintaining its charm. Much of Herriot's grittiness (which, lets be honest, wasn't all that gritty to start with in his romanticized novels) is eliminated, with scenes of animal illness and death told in a straightforward, yet tasteful manner (the putting to sleep of "Old Bob" the dog, for instance, or the shooting of a horse with a tortured bowel, is kept off camera). Which isn't to say that we don't get seemingly endless shots of James with his arm up some cow's bum (the British love their toilet humor as much as we do). Certainly, All Creatures Great & Small has been modified and adapted to conform to mainstream serial TV standards, but that in no way lessens the tender, joyous qualities of Herriot's work.
The location work, frequently quite beautiful, is a huge bonus to the series. Filmed in Yorkshire (after actor Hardy threatened to walk out on the series when it was decided to film it cheaper, somewhere closer to London), the extensive use of location shooting (expensive at the time for British series) firmly establishes the evocative atmosphere of the piece (along with careful production design), providing that necessary "cozy" tone that lovers of British period pieces demand. Yes, there are the obligatory switches from 16mm film location shooting to interior sets shot on video (making, for those not accustomed to this typical British method of TV shooting back in the 1950s through the 1970s and even into the 80s, a wealth of jarring scene transitions), but, unlike many British TV shows at the time, the interiors are lit quite nicely, providing a smoother juxtaposition between the filmed exterior shots.
All Creatures Great & Small premiered in January of 1978 and ran for thirteen episodes. A second series ("season" in Brit-TV terms) premiered in September of 1978, for fourteen episodes. The third series premiered in December of 1979, for fourteen more episodes that ran until April of 1980. At this point, regular production of the series ended, with two Christmas specials being produced (after many viewer requests) in 1983 and 1985. Regular series production resumed after an eight year hiatus, with the fourth series premiering in January, 1988, for ten episodes. Three more series then followed in September of 1988, 1989, and 1990 (with 12 episodes apiece). Additional cast members were added during the second incarnation of the series, including Calum Buchannan as young vet John McGlynn. But the most notable change was the loss of Carole Drinkwater as Helen, to be replaced by Lynda Bellingham for the remainder of the show, as well as a new housekeeper, Mrs. Greenlaw, played by Judy Wilson (Mary Hignett had died at the end of series three).
For me, even though the later series were quite well done, the first three series with the original cast are still my favorites. That first immersion into the Herriot world that one felt when picking up All Creatures Great and Small for the first time, is palpable in those early episodes. Later series tried hard to capture that unique flavor, but the cast changes didn't help (with the Calum character an obvious attempt to recreate the young-vet-coming-to-the-Dales feel of their earlier James' stories), nor did the time shift (somehow, the 1950s just didn't seem as compelling to the central theme of the series - the shifting of the old guard in farming and veterinary practices - as those early Depression-era episodes). Eight years is a long time to stop-and-go a series, and somehow, the later episodes feel less "organic" and more calculated to just keep the series going on. They're still very entertaining, but I prefer the earlier ones. Luckily, you can see them all in the massive All Creatures Great & Small: The Complete Collection boxed set.

New Delhi: The opposition is furious at the clean chit given by a Joint Parliamentary Committee or JPC that studied the 2G scam, to the Prime Minster and Finance Minister P Chidambaram. The JPC's draft report says they were unaware of the alleged malpractices of then Telecom Minister A Raja to give away cheap telecom licenses and free 2G airwaves to ineligible companies. Opposition parties accuse the committee's chief, PC Chacko, of "acting like a Congressman."
Here are top 10 developments in the story:
1) The JPC report, circulated among the members of the panel yesterday, says, "the Committee are inclined to conclude that the Prime Minister was misled about the procedure decided to be followed by the Department of Telecommunications in respect of issuance of UAS licences. Further, the assurance given by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology (Raja) in all his correspondence with the Prime Minister to maintain full transparency in following established rules and procedures of the Department stood belied."
2) The BJP and the CPI have both said they reject the report in its current form and will move dissent notes. The JPC is made up of 30 MPs across political parties.
3) The BJP has said it categorically disagrees with the all-clear given to the PM. It has slammed the draft report saying it's an attempt to suppress rather than to bring out facts. The main opposition party is expected to raise the issue as soon as Parliament reconvenes for the rest of the Budget Session on Monday. (Read)
4) The Left has said Mr Chacko is "acting more like a Congressman than the chairman of the panel." CPI's Gurudas Dasgupta also said that Mr Chacko "was under obligation to save the PM."
5) Mr Chacko has told NDTV he had "anticipated the Opposition anger," and has defended the report as being based not on bias, but on facts. "Anybody who is objecting the report or the modus operandi of preparing the report is on the political lines...and not on the basis of merit," he said.
6) Mr Chacko, who reiterated today that the PM and Finance Minister had no role to play in the 2G scam, had earlier earned the opposition's ire by refusing to give in to the BJP's demand that the two leaders be summoned to depose before the JPC.
7) The JPC report says Mr Raja changed the rules of licensing at the last minute to allow firms to jump a long queue to get licenses. "The Committee wish to point out that the procedure regarding the First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) criteria was a "misrepresentation of facts and in tactic deviation from the existing procedure," it says.
8) It has rejected Attorney General GE Vahanvati's deposition earlier this year wherein the latter said that he was unaware of Mr Raja changing a controversial press note regarding 2G licenses at the last minute. Mr Vahanvati was the Solicitor General at the time.
9) The report has also disagreed with the government's auditor, the Comptroller and Auditor General, which said that Rs. 1.76 lakh crore had been lost on account of the alleged swindle. The report says the figure is unfounded and baseless.
10) A Raja belongs to the DMK, which walked out of the UPA government last month. He spent over a year in jail in the 2G case and is now out on bail. Mr Raja had repeatedly asked to testify for the Joint Parliamentary Committee and BJP members of the panel like Yashwant Sinha had said that his version of events could not be ignored because Mr Raja claimed that he had informed the PM and the Finance Minister of his policies.

My mom recently gave me a box of fabric she'd purchased long ago including fabrics from the 60s through the 80s. I've been doing my best to sew it all up which has resulted in a dearth of posts.
So busy SEWING!
This is one of the prints she gave me from, I think, the 70s or maybe the 80s.
It is based on a Wedgewood china pattern called "Swalllow."
To make the bodice, I used Simplicity 4347 from the early 1960s.
The skirt is a simple 4 yard dirndl.
I liked the idea of having the stripes both horizontal and vertical.
Unfortunately, I was so focused on getting the layout right that some mistakes were made.
I neglected to shorten the bodice length and so it hits just below my natural waist.
The longer bodice means the skirt is an inch or so longer than I typically prefer.
I made cute little bow accents for the front and the back neckline, but they blend right in! Oh well!
It's still a pretty great dress.
These transitional 50s to 60s patterns are always my favorites.

They opened up all the walls and it's mostly window. The chef is Pierre from 98 Provence and his food is outstanding. This was easily the best meal we've had since we started visiting the area. My husband had the seared foie gras to start and we both had the rack of lamb. The lamb was perfect and served with green olive tapenade, fava beans and a tarragon vinegar sauce. The sauce was the perfect amount of tarragon, which can be overpowering, but his was wonderful. It was supposed to come with a zucchini blossom but instead came with a fried artichoke which was light and lovely. For dessert I had the chocolate truffle - just needed a little bite of something sweet. We won't be back in the area till next year, but Ocean will be at the top of our list.

Listen to LIVE whale songs from Hawaii! Download this application to hear LIVE whale song and ocean sounds picked up by an underwater microphone off the coast of Hawaii. (During the migratory seasonâ€â€November to Juneâ€â€you will hear LIVE whale song; at other times, you will hear recordings.) Sit back, relax and drift away to the sounds of one of nature's most magnificent creatures streamed live. For the first time, live whale songs are just a tap away. The whale songs will help mellow your mind as you melodically float away through the waters of Hawaii. Authentic natural ambiance and soothing sounds have never been so easy to hear.   Whalesong's Mission: The Whalesong Project is dedicated to inspiring stewardship of the ocean and environment by providing meaningful connections to the world's undersea community by helping to "give a microphone" to important voices that may not be heard above the noise of the modern world. Whalesong is a project inspired by the beauty of oceans. This beauty includes not only the visual aspects of the water planet we live on, but also a mysterious and incredible world of sound, which whales and dolphins use to navigate and communicate across vast oceans. The vocalizations of these ancient cetaceans have inspired music, poetry, scientific discovery, and perhaps even languages and cultures. Photo courtesy of Monica Sweet, http://gallerysweet.com

A woman of 21 has been arrested on suspicion of helping a "happy, bubbly" girl commit suicide .
Neighbours named the dead girl as Emma Crossman, 21, who had "no obvious health issues".
The woman questioned – said to be a friend of Emma – is believed to be one of the youngest people ever arrested in Britain on suspicion of assisted suicide.
She was detained on Wednesday shortly after the discovery of a body in the small market town of Sleaford, Lincs.
The arrested woman, who lives in the area, was released on police bail until February 17.
The tragedy comes just days before a Coronation Street storyline about euthanasia ends in the death of Hayley Cropper .
Last night Lincolnshire Police sources said Emma's death has no link to the TV soap story and the circumstances are "totally different".
Drugs are not believed to be involved in the death, which is thought to have occurred as a result of smothering.
Emma's next-door neighbour Sue Price, 33, said: "She didn't seem depressed or poorly.
"To hear suicide is involved baffles me as she just seemed so lovely, happy and bubbly all the time.
"She lived there with her boyfriend I believe and we used to see her going out with her dad. We noticed two ambulances outside the house but thought it was just something minor.
"We never expected anything like this. It's an absolute tragedy. She was so young."
Fellow resident Adam Deakins, 22, said: "A pal told me one of Emma's friends was arrested. It's a shock."
Another woman neighbour said: "I'd see Emma walking with her boyfriend but not for several weeks – so we did wonder if they had split up.
"Maybe she took it badly."
Tributes to tattooed Emma have poured in on Facebook.
A man called Dee wrote on the page of the tattoo parlour he runs: "Rest in peace Emma Louise Crossman my beautiful troubled little star. x."
An inquest is yet to be opened.

Budget Alternative to Jonathan Adler's Ojai Dinnerware?
Q: I love the Ojai dinnerware from Jonathan Adler, and am looking for something similar (white on the bottom/exterior, bright and simple face/interior).
I can't find anything other than the Ojai, which is out of my budget. Any suggestions?
Sent by Saskia
Editor: Saskia, here are a couple similar options to get you started:
• Brio Blue (and Green Dinnerware, $19.95 for a place setting at Crate & Barrel
• Petal green dinnerware, $5.95 for a dinner plate at CB2.
Also, do note that there's a sale on right now at Jonathan Adler; the Ojai dinnerware is significantly discounted.
Readers, any good ideas for Saskia?

Gold shirt and bootcovers are from my previous Skin Deep costume, and the crocodile skin vest was from The Crocodile with the sleeves removed. The main new part of this is the jacket, which was a pain in the ass! It has been sewn by hand and machine, spray painted and hand painted for texture, and basically uses every crafting method known to man. The coolest part, for me, was getting the shoulders to look broader than mine actually are to give a more masculine illusion. Even though Robert Carlyle is a wee man, I'm still a very tiny girl. Overall I'm very happy with the jacket! The scarf is satin with hand drawn detailing, overlaid with gold lace. The pin was an eBay find.

The new Lance Armstrong documentary The Armstrong Lie is now in cinemas. Harry Guerin finds out whether it has crossover appeal.
During one of his many forays into the complexities of the human psyche, Seinfeld's George Costanza brilliantly summed up dishonesty with the following gem: "It's not a lie if you believe it."
It's a line that comes to mind repeatedly while watching Alex Gibney's (We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God) The Armstrong Lie, a film with plenty for both the cycling devotee and the person who only knows the outline of the scandal.
Gibney originally began making a film with and about Armstrong in 2009 - "his comeback year" - and had amassed interview and training footage in the build-up to his Tour de France return. He then followed Armstrong right from the starting line that summer to the finish in Paris, but as the doping scandal and investigation gathered more momentum Gibney shelved his footage, thinking that the film was dead.
However, following Armstrong's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2013, Gibney resurrected the project, went back to interview Armstrong again and framed his film in the context of the events of 2009 and the question that he felt haunted both himself and his subject: Why had Armstrong come back?
With so much detail to get through, it's a testament to Gibney's skill as a director that The Armstrong Lie is never slow-moving and plays better than a lot of thrillers. It is tightly edited, sharply scripted and has brilliant footage - from blood tests to home movie memories - throughout. While Gibney wanted one question answered, he raises far more in the minds of the viewer - about strength and weakness, hope and despair, our need to create heroes and whether Armstrong has become a haunted man or remains one whose survival instinct is still so finely tuned that he is, as a contributor puts it, trying to manage his own storyline. Could there really be a fifth act in this American life?
Three people who should have been asked and who are absent from Gibney's interviewee roster are former teammate Floyd Landis, whistleblower and onetime Armstrong soigneur Emma O'Reilly and journalist Paul Kimmage - we hear the latter at a press conference but do not see him. Their inclusion, at the expense of some of the 2009 footage, would've elevated The Armstrong Lie from good to great. As, indeed, would more present-day screentime with Armstrong in order to get a better sense of what he sees as his future.
While the lie is over, we await the Ben Foster-starring biopic with even more interest.

Washington (AFP) Jan 16, 2016
US President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Michigan on Saturday, freeing up federal aid to help an area affected by contaminated water, the White House said.
Authorities in the state have been dealing with a major health crisis over lead-contaminated water that arose from cost-cutting measures implemented in the city of Flint, home to some 100,000 people.
Problems arose after state officials ignored months of health warnings about the foul-smelling water as residents complained that it was making them sick.
On Thursday, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder submitted a request to the president to call a state of emergency.
However it was just four years ago that the governor named a state-appointed manager to take control of Flint's troubled finances.
As part of cost-cutting, the city began drawing water from the Flint River in April 2014 rather than continuing to buy it from Detroit. That's when problems began.
Obama declared that "an emergency exists in the state of Michigan and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts," a White House statement read.
The move was "due to the emergency conditions in the area affected by contaminated water," it added.
Efforts to be implemented by the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) include providing water, water filters, water filter cartridges and water test kits, among other supplies, for up to three months.
The state's environment department had allowed water to be taken from the Flint River, even though the city's treatment plant was not able to produce water that met state and federal standards, according to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Residents soon began complaining that the foul, cloudy water was making them vomit, break out in rashes and lose their hair.
DHS and FEMA will coordinate efforts to ameliorate "the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population," the White House said.
The move is meant "to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe," it added.
