A Journey With Windows 1985-2009
I was scanning the web for something interesting when I came across this article which took me through a photo journey of Windows. Hopefully someone else has not posted this, hate to do it twice.
It was interesting to go down this lane because it brought back some great memories of life during this time of technological change. Myself I did not get into Windows until NT 3.51; before that I was writing code for IBM systems, and others. My own personnel computer was an Apple (can't remember the series anymore) then the MAC Plus in 1987 through 1992. In 1992 I switched to the Color Mac then in 1996 to a Dell with NT. Still have the Mac Plus (and yes it still works, albeit a little slow (system 7, ironic)).
My journey actually started in 1974, however, my personnel computer journey start in 1982.
So where did you start your computer journey:

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit / XP Home sp3
Well I'm a relative newcomer. I didn't even own a computer till 2000 and I found it in the dumpster at my apt. complex someone took the cdrw out of it and I didn't know anything about comps but I knew something had to be in that empty slot, so I took it to a shop and they installed a optical drive in it and it worked. While I took it out the back door they had about 15 monitors wating for the proper disposal co. to pick them up so I helped myself to one and then bought a used 12.00 keyboard and mouse and was hooked on them ever since. so I started with 98. the 98se then XP. I got hooked so bad I started going to swap meets and buying all kinds of really cheap stuff. starting with the 486 cpu I think and then got my first pent 2 and thought that was the s@@@. At one time not even 4 months later I had about 10 working systems I taught myself how to fix and formatt and so on. I did find Nt 3.1 on 1 system and of course 95. I even bought a dual boot system only both drives were in chinese.

Back in 1958 as a Freshman in high school I made a simple adding machine form some relays and lites, call it a digital computer and won 2 place at the state science fair. But my first real computer use was a Dec PDP11 i leased time on hooked up to a 300 baud dialup modem. Then I bought an Alpha Mico 1000. I've had almost every type of PC since.

DOHA, Qatar, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- World No. 1 Rafael Nadal out-battled Ernests Gulbis for a 7-5, 6-4 win Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open tennis tournament.
While Nadal improved to 7-0 lifetime versus Gulbis, it was a typically close match between the two. This was only the second time in the series that Gulbis fell in straight sets and it took Nadal nearly 2 hours to finish off the win.
Nadal recorded a pair of breaks in each set but only won six more points over the course of the match than Gulbis, who was seeded seventh in Doha.
The win leaves Nadal as the only seeded player heading into the semifinals.
He will next take on Peter Gojowczyk, who defeated Dustin Brown 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) in a battle of German qualifiers. While Gojowczyk's match went to a third-set tiebreaker, it was only 3 minutes longer than Nadal's.
Gael Monfils capped quarterfinal play with an efficient 6-2, 6-1 romp over Daniel Brands. Monfils lost 10 points in eight games serving and breezed through the win in 49 minutes.
Also Thursday, Florian Mayer beat Victor Hanescu 6-4, 6-7 (8-10), 6-4. Mayer didn't face a break point in either the first or third sets.
Monfils is 4-0 lifetime versus Mayer, including a straight-set win last year in Stuttgart, Germany. Nadal has never before faced the No. 162nd-ranked Gojowczyk

The year 1999 was one in which France's politics marked time, its economy showed progress, and its companies shot ahead into a more multinational world with an unprecedented wave of merger activity. Despite its position of remaining outside NATO's integrated military command in peacetime, France played a major part—second only to the U.S.—in the alliance's bombing of Yugoslavia when NATO took action over Kosovo. This action boosted the role of Gaullist Pres. Jacques Chirac and for a time masked his rivalry with his Socialist prime minister, Lionel Jospin. The only notable social movement of the year—protests by French farmers—was directed not at the government but at the United States for imposing penal duties on French food exports in the transatlantic war over hormone-fed beef. (See Economic Affairs: Sidebar.)
The set-piece political contest was the European Parliament election on June 13, and the main result was to highlight the fragmentation of the right. This process had begun, to be sure, well before, with the failure of the two chief components—the Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the centre-right Union for French Democracy (UDF), which governed together in 1993–97 and which had fought the 1994 Euro-election side by side—to agree on a common platform for 1999. The only alliance took the form of the decision of Liberal Democracy, a small free-market party, to leave the UDF federation and make common cause with the RPR. The latter had already encountered problems with the resignation in mid campaign, in April, of its president, Philippe Séguin, over long-standing differences with Chirac.
So bad was the election result for the RPR—it won only about 13% of the vote—that Séguin's successor, Nicolas Sarkozy, immediately resigned. The RPR was overtaken by an anti-European splinter from the RPR led by Charles Pasqua, Rally for France, which with 13.1% came in second after the Socialists' 22%. The humiliation of the centre-right was completed when the left-leaning Greens, with 9.7% outpolled the UDF (9.3%). The only consolation to the mainstream right as well as to the left was that the split of the National Front into factions led by Jean-Marie Le Pen and Bruno Mégret weakened this far-right movement overall. Thus, the election left the Jospin coalition of Socialists, Communists, and Greens with little organized opposition and increased the implausibility of Chirac's dissolving Parliament early to try to regain a prime minister and government of the right.
To defuse the tensions within the coalition that posed him a bigger risk than external opposition, Jospin took care to placate his left-wing allies, particularly by pursuing his costly program to reduce the standard workweek from 39 to 35 hours. The program's aim was to persuade companies, by a mixture of compulsion and enticement through subsidy, to create new jobs; by the most optimistic estimates, no more than 85,000 extra posts had been created. The move enraged French employers, who held an unprecedented street protest in Paris on October 4. Nonetheless, the 35-hour workweek served its political purpose, enabling the Communists to swallow other aspects of government policy, such as France's participation in NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.
The Socialists were also left unscathed by extraneous allegations against certain of their former prime ministers. One example was Edith Cresson, one of France's European commissioners, who, by putting her local town dentist on the European Union payroll, helped trigger the mass resignation of the EU's executive body in March on charges of mismanagement and nepotism. Another was Laurent Fabius, who went on trial on February 9 on charges related to the AIDS contamination of hemophiliacs in 1985 when he was prime minister; he was acquitted the following month.
The only time the government seemed in danger of losing its majority was on the controversy as to whether, in their efforts to instill order into Corsica, French government officials had themselves overstepped the law. This problem took an extraordinary twist in early May, when the prefect (central government representative) in Corsica, Bernard Bonnet, was arrested on allegations of condoning police arson of an illegally built restaurant on the island. The government comfortably survived an opposition censure motion on May 25, however, in a mood of general relief at the arrest of four men suspected of having murdered the previous prefect in Corsica 15 months earlier.
Fears that France would suffer in the backwash of the 1998 and 1997 economic crashes in Russia and Asia proved unfounded. Aided by the weak euro and rising exports, the economy expanded by 0.4% in the first quarter and by 0.6% in the second quarter, which led the government to predict that growth for 1999 would reach 2.3% and 2.6–3% in 2000. More than the 35-hour workweek, this steady economic improvement helped reduce unemployment.
In its budget for 2000, the government decided spending should rise no faster than inflation. This spending self-discipline, coupled with higher tax revenue flowing from stronger growth, put the government in the comfortable position of offering tax cuts mainly targeted at stimulating job creation in-house and at reducing public borrowing at the same time. Minister of Economy, Finance, and Industry Dominique Strauss-Kahn claimed that the millennium year would see the biggest tax cut in a decade and the first downturn in debt service costs in 20 years. Strauss-Kahn did not stay in office long enough to see this. On November 2 he was forced to resign on charges that he had improperly justified payments he received while in opposition. He was succeeded by his deputy, Christian Sautter.
In terms of foreign economic policy, agriculture returned as a central French preoccupation. During the EU's internal renegotiation of its common farm policy, Paris successfully fought dilution of subsidies, which it said it was determined to maintain in the face of U.S. pressure when the World Trade Organization (WTO) opened a new round of global negotiations in Seattle, Wash., in November.
This Franco-American tension was exacerbated by a series of food-safety scares concerning American products, such as Coca Cola, which was briefly banned in June after a problem in the company's Dunkirk bottling plant, and, more seriously, hormone-fed beef and genetically modified foods from the U.S. In June at the Cologne, Ger., summit of the Group of Seven major industrialized countries, President Chirac proposed the setting up of a world food-safety agency but was met with lukewarm backing from other Europeans at the summit and opposition from the U.S. Tension was further heightened by the U.S. decision to impose on July 26, with the permission of the WTO, penal duties of 100% on certain distinctive French exports to the U.S., such as Roquefort cheese and truffles, in retaliation for Paris's role in prolonging the EU hormone ban. A militant farming union, the Peasants Confederation, targeted the McDonald's fast-food chain for disruption, and one of the union leaders, Jose Bové, became a minor folk hero when he refused to leave jail for several days after he was granted bail. On December 8 Jospin caused a major row with Britain and the EU by refusing to comply with an EU decision allowing the U.K., after the mad cow disease scare, to resume beef exports.
In the private sector, the combined effect of the efficiency brought about by years of labouring under a strong franc, of buoyant share prices, and of healthy cash balances meant that big French companies were at last able to play an aggressive part in the world restructuring of many sectors. Among striking examples were Renault's purchase of a controlling stake in Nissan of Japan and many acquisitions by the Vivendi and Suez-Lyonnaise service and communications groups in the U.S., the U.K., and Belgium. Pechiney also joined Alcan of Canada and Algroup of Switzerland to form the world's largest aluminum group. Most dramatic, however, was the disappearance of the taboo inside France against Anglo-Saxon-style contested takeovers. On February 1 Société Générale (SG) and Paribas announced plans to merge, only to see Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP) launch a bid on March 9 for both banks. After vain efforts by the French authorities to arrange an amicable deal, the drama finally ended in late August with BNP's gaining control of Paribas but not of SG. On July 5 TotalFina launched a $43 billion hostile offer for sister oil company Elf Aquitaine, a bid that ended in a September 13 agreement in TotalFina's favour.
Foreign policy
The major event of the year for France, as for Europe, was NATO's clash with Yugoslavia over Kosovo. France played a central part in diplomatic attempts to find a negotiated settlement between the Serbs and Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority. A first round of talks took place in February at the presidential chateau at Rambouillet, cochaired by Hubert Védrine, the French foreign minister, and Robin Cook, his British counterpart. A second round of talks held in Paris March 15–19 also ended in failure. In the NATO bombing campaign, which began on March 24 and continued for 11 weeks, French jets carried out more bombing missions than any other European air force, though France's efforts were dwarfed by the scale of U.S. action. On occasion, however, Paris exerted its influence to delay or moderate NATO attacks on nonmilitary targets. In September France sent 500 troops to support the UN peacekeeping force in East Timor.

Authorities say a 16-year-old girl was killed and six others were injured in an early morning crash involving two cars in Orange County.
The California Highway Patrol says the rollover collision was reported just before 1:45 a.m. Monday in Silverado.
The coroner's office says Marie Johnson of Irvine was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say she was a passenger and was ejected from a vehicle.
The CHP says the cars - both Honda Civics - were traveling south on Santiago Canyon Road and collided at an intersection. One car rolled over and landed on its side. The second car ended up in brush on the side of the road.
Six people in their late teens or early 20s suffered minor injuries.
Investigators say the occupants of the two cars might have known each other.

Tagged: tables choices browsers
Can anyone throw any light on why tables within HTML might be showing differently on different browsers? On a page we are developing for a client http://www.reliablegreenweb.co.uk/sites/marketingcards/our-clients/schools/marketing-tips/ using the Choices template what displays perfectly on Chrome shows big spaces between rows on Firefox and squeezed images to the left and right on IE v8.
Any ideas what we can do about it?
Hi vernonmyoung,
The different browsers render the elements slightly differently. So in Chrome, it takes your first row with the image, 1. Text and the third image and adjusts each for its content. In Firefox, it says the first row should be the same height across all three columns regardless of their content and in IE it looks like it mimics the FF behavior.
You'll probably need to play around with how your table is structured in order to get them to all look similar. Maybe separating out the major table into separate groups or perhaps simply adding Float left or right the an image in a table will be enough to make IE and FF shrink the row height to the text inside and ignore the image.
Hope that helps.
The topic 'Tables showing display differences between Chrome, Firefox and Explorer 8' is closed to new replies.

Is the smart power strip a sign of "smart grid" things to come? (plus, an urelated blog correction)
0 comments post a comment
The smart grid promises so much, maybe too much, as this project indicates
We hear a lot about the smart grid and what it will do. What exactly will it do? Well, whatever you want and desire, since it hasn't been fully defined yet or built. Since it is still in the formative stages, you can project onto it whatever your priorities are.
But we do know that the grid, in principle, will allow measurement of grid activity at all stages from the source down to the end-user loads (that's you and me at home, with our various appliances). We also know that in most cases, along with "measurement" comes its complementary partner: "control".
I was reminded of this when I saw an interesting "build-it" article in the March 2010 issue of IEEE Spectrum, "The Smart Power Strip". which discusses a web-enabled power strip. (I know this is not the first one, and these have been around for a while; you can even buy commercial version--it's just that I happened to see this article and it reminded me of the subject). It's always an interesting practical challenge when you mix low-voltage electronics, web connectivity, and AC-line voltages and their high currents in a single box, that's for sure.
On one hand, it's an intriguing and interesting project, but on the other hand, a power strip or outlet which sees all and knows all can also tell all and soon control all. That's what worries me: inch by inch, step by step, for our "own" good, then for the "greater good", we'll have smart power strips and appliances that not only show what you are using, but will soon start dictating what you can use and when.
If you are concerned, worried, thrilled, or just plain curious about the social implications of the smart grid, check out session ST-1, "Smart Grid Implementation to Intrusion" at the Embedded Systems Conference, Tuesday, April 27. Yes, it's early in the morning (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.), but who knows?–perhaps in the future, under "smart gird" management algorithms and directives, that's when all such sessions will have to be held.
(Correction unrelated to above: Last week, in my column "AC versus DC power distribution: the pendulum swings", I cited AC-power pioneer Charles Steinmetz and General Electric Company. But I neglected to give credit to inventor and genius Nicolai Tesla, who also did much of the early critical work and, along with Westinghouse Electric Company—sadly, that's a once-dominant name that's all-but-disappeared—built the first large-scale AC generation and distribution system at Niagara Falls, NY. ) ♦

Wellington - A mentally ill New Zealand man who cut off and ate his own finger in a rare case of self-cannibalism has described his action as a cry for help but "ultimately, a very stupid idea".The man's case was outlined last month in the medical journal Australasian Psychiatry, which described it as one of only eight documented instances of self-cannibalism recorded in the world.The report's authors, forensic psychiatrist Erik Monasterio and clinical psychologist Craig Prince, said that the man applied a tourniquet to his little finger, cut it off with a jigsaw, cooked it with vegetables and ate it.He was suffering from moderate depression, insomnia and suicidal thoughts at the time of the 2009 incident, they said.The journal reported said the man, aged 28 at the time, was not psychotic when he was assessed in hospital and had not consumed drugs or alcohol.However, the New Zealand Herald reported on Wednesday that the man told the paper he did experience a psychotic episode at the time but it had passed by the time he reached the hospital.He expressed frustration at his difficulty in receiving medical help for psychosis, saying he struggled to convince mental health workers his condition was not simply depression.Flatmates curious"I have lost all faith in the system. You have to say you are going to kill someone or kill yourself (to receive attention)," he told the newspaper.The man, who described himself as a Buddhist vegetarian, said he now regretted eating his finger.He said his action was a desperate attempt to get attention from mental health authorities and he hoped his case would encourage others with mental illness to seek help.He told the newspaper his current flatmates did not "freak out" when he told them what he had done but they were curious about the experience."They asked me 'what did it taste like? Does it taste like chicken or pork?'," said the man, who was not named.He said he had told his flatmates he did not know as "I haven't eaten chicken or pork in such a long time".
Did he fry it in palm oil?
Bwah Ha Ha Ha!!!
no olive oil
May I never get THAT desperate please!!!! Freakin crazy!
It should be pointed out to this clown that if his friends finger him again he will be nailed by the law and spend time in the joint
Those flatmates sounds a bit dodgy as well...
Finger lickin' good.....
gotta hand it to him, he nailed that self cannibalism thing.
Waaaahahaha, a vegetarian cannibal. Maybe it tasted like tofu. Do the people in New Zealand have nothing better to do?
it must have been finger licking good
No Pinkie, no brain! I wonder if he deboned it first?

Well, personally I'd prefer Gproj based roms, the gee ones built with Glitch kernel heat up a lot, and there aren't really any good gee kernels with stability in mind like the ones from CM(Mirage has cpu issues and no thermal control still). Gee seems to recieve a lot of love but Gproj is left behind, even If I dislike CM and their new bull**** company ideas, I still like the fact that actual thermal throttling is taking effect with the thermald.conf on Gproj builds.
While it sucks that you guys are having issues on gee, I'm pretty sure a lot of us, me included, actually aren't having any. Gee sources are a lot more up to date with Nexus sources rather than gproj, which are quite dated. That, and you can unify devices together with gee sources. Sorry to say, but its probably for the best. There's a reason why gee gets a lot of love and gproj doesn't.

text: With all the hype on this board about natural gut, I decided to try it for myself. Through a string trade, I received 1/2 set of Wilson Natural Gut, and 1 set of Global Natural Gut. I usually use either a poly hybrid or full synthetic gut in my sticks (at tensions ranging from 52-55 lbs). Strung up the Wilson Natural Gut in a hybird- Nat Gut 16 mains at 56, E-Force Fluid 18 crosses at 58 (I enjoy this cross string in a hybrid very much). I have yet to play a competitive set with these strings yet, but I've played some doubles in gym (read: played a bad team, and just had some fun) for about 45 minutes, and have hit with the stuff against a wall for about 45 minutes. I am NOT impressed by this stuff, at all. At first, it played very crisp, almost as crisp as my synthetic gut beds, but now, 4 days after stringing, it plays VERY soft, mushy almost. Power is there in abundance, as the reviews have said, and it's a little more overwhelming than I thought it would be. My biggest complaint is the lack of any stiffness whatsoever: this stuff is TOO loose! I like a cushy stringbed as much as the next person, but this feels TOO mushy! Also, the supposed "feel" that people always rave about when playing with natural gut, I'm not getting it. I just get this really soft, mushy feel when the string impacts the stringbed, and then I have no idea where the ball is going. And as for spin... it's really weird. It seems that I'm not generating as much topspin as I was before, except on some really random shots, in which case there's more topspin than I've ever hit before. All in all, so far, I'm not impressed. I haven't played a competitive match with this stuff yet, so maybe this stuff will impress me then. I really do hope so, considering that this stuff costs 25 bucks a stringbed- 4-8 times the cost of my usual beds.

An Indiana woman was sentenced Wednesday to nine years in prison for selling heroin.
Pamela Bobby, 47, sold .9 gross grams of heroin for $100 to an informant who was working with Hammond, Indiana police in November 2009.
Bobby was under probation at the time for maintaining a common nuisance charge. She was given six additional months of probation for the violation.
Bobby pled guilty to the drug charge in June.
A report by Roosevelt University released last month concluded that heroin use in Chicago has steadily increased over the past decade.
A huge bust last week netted 10 kilos of the drug and about $5 million in cash, police said.

Shareholder Spring crosses the Channel to Deutsche Bank
Twenty-five British pension funds will be in the vanguard of a protest today about boardroom standards at Germany's biggest bank.
Deutsche Bank is facing a revolt from the British investors as well as a German institutional shareholder group about the handling of the succession of Josef Ackermann, who stands down as chief executive at the annual meeting in Frankfurt.
Hermes Equity Ownership Services, the governance consultancy, is tabling an effective vote of no confidence in the supervisory board of the bank. It is voting the shares of the BT pension fund, as well as 24 other pension funds, against the supervisory board chaired by Clemens Börsig. The shareholders are angry about the search for Dr Ackermann's successor, during which Dr Börsig floated himself as a…

The adventure is cleverly broken down into short episodes, with six chapters in all. This feature makes the program especially preschooler-friendly because players not only feel like they are part of a real story, they gain a strong sense of control. A narrator introduces story lines and goals, and provides feedback about what players have done, such as picking up a key from Ollo's dresser.
The first chapter begins with Ollo waking up on a fine, sunny morning. On his way to meet with Rose the Raccoon, Ollo bumps into a bunny friend who is having some trouble delivering balloons. This is the first of a number of little dilemmas that Ollo, who always wants to help out, will face. Children return Ollo to his home, exploring his room and backyard to find something that will prevent the bunny's balloons from floating away.
As kids move into Chapter 2, the story unfolds further. Rose wants to grow a large tomato to enter in the County Fair, and Ollo helps out by finding items (such as a rake and a specific type of tomato seed) on her list. Once found and delivered to Rose, the "experimental" tomato seed yields a fast-growing and enormous tomato that rolls off the vine, running amok through Sunny Valley and causing problems wherever it goes! Ollo wants to help set things right, and the journey continues.
Besides enjoying hotspots and playing mini-games, children solve all sorts of problems as they attempt to restore the order that the huge, runaway tomato has compromised. They will need to perform a number of tasks, like returning a clown's funny wig and finding sticks to help rebuild a bird's nest. More involving activities are uncovered as children explore the program's attractive screens, including one in which kids extend patterns in Rose's flower garden.
The educational value of the program is enhanced by "clickables" that do a nice job of teaching and reinforcing early learning concepts. In Ollo's backyard, for example, simple clicks prompt lessons and games that reinforce color recognition and matching skills. A memory/matching game is found in the apple tree, and a shrub holds a mini-game in which children attempt to make a group of flowers all the same color. In another area, rain drops are counted with multiple clicks on a cloud in the sky. At the farm, items are counted by 2's, 3's. and 5's.
This program is very impressive. It is smart, charming, and original. The activities gradually become more challenging as children play them, and the program is filled with lessons on kindness, tidiness, and responsible behavior. Patience is also valued in the story line, and simple restrictions in the game help players actively cultivate patience. Not all areas and paths are accessible immediately, for example. Players cannot cross over a drawbridge until the swans have passed, and will have to wait until Muriel the Moose finishes her sculpture before they can travel down a path. The system of "chapters" means children are less concerned with "beating" the game, leaving more room to simply enjoy the adventure.
Technically Speaking
Minimum system requirements are Windows 95/98/Me/2000Pro/XP, Pentium-class 233 MHz, 32 MB of RAM, CD-ROM drive, 16-bit DirectX-compatible sound card, and 150 MB of hard drive space. Mac owners require a PowerMac, iMac, or G3 processor, 233 MHz; 64 MB RAM, CD-ROM drive, and 150 MB of hard drive space.
Skills Covered
number, color, letter, and word recognition; sequencing; opposites; patterns; memory; problem-solving; and creative thinking skills.
Educational Value
Educational opportunities are weaved cleverly into the program so that learning comes naturally and automatically. Besides problem-solving and logical thinking, children develop skills with a number of early learning concepts, including color and number recognition, measurement, skip counting, and more.
Entertainment Value
A narrator follows children on their journey through Sunny Valley, reminding players that they are playing an integral role in the story. Solving mini-challenges and ultimately "saving the day" are gratifying, and the graphics are intriguing. This is an exceptionally likable and fun program that is sure to become a favorite game!
Most design elements of the program are exceptional--instructions are clear, challenges can be accomplished with minimal frustrations, and navigation is intuitive. Thoughtful and entertaining recaps are given as players return to different chapters in the game. An option for closed captioning is included. Our only complaint is the save/load feature--we wish that game saves were automatic for this young target age group.
With the adventure broken down into shorter episodes, children won't feel the need to rush through the program. Some children will accomplish the program's goals rather quickly, but this CD-ROM is so likable that it is bound to get plenty of repeat plays.
Dollar Value
The suggested retail price for this program is approximately $20 US.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
So by now, everyone has seen the not so subtle hit piece from Camp Gloria that shows a devil shaking hands with some seedy, ubiquitous politician. The front says "The Voter Education Project" (btw, thank God there is a group out there trying to educate me). Open it up...
"But That Hasn't Stopped Stephen Whitburn From Taking 1000s from Special Interests"
What!!! Why have I been helping Stephen if this is true?
Flip it over and there it is.... a list a very seedy, sketchy, official looking list of special interests..
"No More Backroom Deals"
But wait... I see Dan Soderberg. He is a good friend and he has always come to meetings to fight developers. I'm pretty sure he told me he was a Film school grad and an architectural photographer. He and I put the debate questions together for the Uni/Heights political debate and it was geared at finding out who will fight developers. Has Dan been lying to me this whole time?
And then I see Tom Mullaney, another person that I thought was an ally. I attended some of his meetings because he led the fight against the 301 University project. He has dedicated tireless hours of his time and his own money to fighting developers. Have I been tricked?
Im pretty sure I would have been on the list since I work for an architect had I been able to give Stephen more than $100. Am I really actually FOR developers? ...despite the fact that I have spent hours and money building a website called developeralert.org. Now I see why I called my blog "I've Got Issues".
Hmmm, maybe I have been tricking myself, because Todd would not lie or mislead anyone. He is Toni's top pick after all.
He must have had a group of hard working volunteers make and mail these mailers right?
Thankfully, Maggie McCann, a voice of reason, came to the rescue. She explained that this mailer that Todd was sending out to everyone in D3 explaining that Stephen was making backroom deals with developers, was paid for by a backroom deal with a developer for Todd Gloria. I like this explanation alot more because it means I don't need medication and Im not AS crazy as I first thought.
Here is the breakdown
The organization that was created to put out the campaign mailer, San Diego Voter Education Project.
Who are they:
The mailer funded by: Thomas Sudberry, the President of Sudberry Properties, the developer of the recently approved Quarry Falls development, provided $1,000 for the mailer, ostensibly to support the position on two propositions. Thomas Sudberry, a registered City lobbyist, had previously donated $540 to the Todd Gloria Campaign. His wife, Jane Sudberry has also contributed the maximum amount of $540 to Gloria. Other registered City lobbyists who are employees of Sudberry Properties and who have contributed to Gloria's campaign include Stephen Haase, $540, Jeffrey Bradley, $270, Marco Sessa, $540, and Colton Sudberry, $270. With the possible exception of Lehman, none of these people live in District 3.
The group lists as its Treasurer registered City lobbyist Paola Avila. Paola Avila is also a registered lobbyist–; Otay Mesa Ventures, LLC, rezone from industrial to residential; OLP Community Outreach Mr. Avila personally contributed $540 to Todd Gloria's campaign. One of Mr. Avila's clients is Our Lady Of Peace parochial school; he serves as their Community Outreach specialist.
So the whole thing was bought and paid for by an "independent expenditure", which I just learned means ANYONE can make up ANY name and do something on your behalf to get you elected. And here is the best part, Todd can receive 1000's (like in the case of this mailer) from developers and not have to report it in his famous "17%" from developers.
The best part is this "list" is made up of some of the most solid, and upright citizens you have ever met. And they are people that go to city council meetings and speak all the time. So Todd, if you win, this means that you are going to have to look these people that you just slandered in the eyes for the next 4 years.
I think the front cover of the sketchy politician shaking hands with the devil may have been you, because as far as I can see, you have just created your very own hell.
Apparently the controversial mailer has caused quite a stir. I have never seen such a visceral reaction from people. I personally, feel very strongly about it, because many of the people he named are saints in the world of preservation and deserve praise not unsubstantiated accusations. This is serious. It makes me feel sick to think someone representing us could behave this way and could slander the very best of his District. And I mean slander.
And then to add insult to injury, he gets the UT to do some dim-witted damage control and all the story says is this: "I cannot speak to the factual accuracy of the mailer in question. I do believe that negative campaigning distracts from the issues of importance to District 3 voters," he said.
He doesn't even denounce it and barely acknowledges it. Does he review these mailers or not? One of my favorite comments was from Maggie McCann...
"Todd could speak to the facts, but then he'd have to admit to being involved. It's ironic that the people chosen for inclusion are leaders of grassroots neighborhood movements against bad urban infill development - 301 University, OLP, Kensington Terrace, etc. And Todd's donor forms show he's taken money from the developers and lobbyists from all those developments. I take back everything I've ever said about him being Atkins in a better suit - he's really Son of Madaffer."
Add Jeri Dilno, long time reporter and editor, to the list of people Gloria's hit piece describes as "developers".
What sort of kool aid are they drinking over at Camp Gloria to come up with such stupid accusations. They're really desperate now...
I'm voting for Stephen Whitburn.
The scandalous "Clawgate" attack on 3rd District Candidate Stephen Whitburn is the slimiest piece of political hit literature I have seen since Peter Navarro ran for mayor of San Diego. Why on earth would anyone accuse Whitburn of a "backroom deal" wiht Daniel Soderberg? After all, Dan works on Whitburn's campaign. Moreover, Dan tirelessly volunteers his time working for neighborhoods to protect historical buildings for unscrupulous land development. And Tom Mullaney? Tom has spent years of his time fighting to protect urban canyons and keep land use density at serviceable levels for water and sewer, not to mention he donates his office for community meetings and merits a medal for all his efforts to protect our rights. The guys who paid for that devil's claw hit piece should be sued for slander.
Ron May La Jolla, California
For the truth about Stephen Whitburn, visit:
district3resident, you are so juvenile. Great website proving Gloria is surrounded by idiots who couldn't tell the truth if their life depended on it
Ian, you are absolutely right. Todd Gloria knows the truth. he knows the "attorney whose firm worked on Bush v. Gore" on this so-called webpage is Stephen's own brother, a strong Democrat who - oh my gosh - lives in Texas and took a job w/a law firm that - my goodness - had represented its client in Bush v. Gore. The Horrors! Todd knows that the lawyers attacked as working with a firm whose principal is in Lompoc prison are really civil liberties champion Eric Alan Isaacson, a champion in the NO on 8 effort, and Tim Blood, one of the strongest opponents of Todd's favorite Kensington project - Kensington Terrace.
Todd knows the truth. he just can't handle the truth. he knows the truth - he is bought and paid for by every lobbyist and developer in town - so he decided to try to confuse voters with these thoroughly debunked and denounced accusations.
Whitburn has run one of the dirtiest campaigns anyone has seen in years. Finally someone hits back, not even Todd or his campaign, and all of Whitburns cronnies cry foul.
Give me a break! Whitburn has greased his campaign with over $200,000 from a mysterious source. Whitburn has yet to answer where this money is coming from. Did I hear someone say federal investigation? We can expect one after this election and the focus will be... where does a guy making $65,000 a year with no net worth get over $200K?
Fred williams, you are acting so bipolar. One minute you love Stephen, the next minute you are smearing him.
No, seriously, Nicole, stop posing as Fred. We are going to track your IP address. This is indicative of the way Gloria has run this campaign.
Will you be dressing up and posing as Fred at council mtgs as well and angrily spouting unsubstantiated allegations at the mic.
Sorry Nicole, Fred is better looking than you, and props to Fred--he wrote about this story 1st in the very dramatic piece aptly titled "Goth Marriage and Gloria", soon to become a screenplay.
"Whitburn has yet to answer where this money is coming from." My god, you are as senile as John McSame. Whitburn and his spokesman, Sean McWherly, have both covered that territory repeatedly, everytime you and your minions bring it up. For free spending playboys like Todd and Jason, who spend their six figure salaries on Armani and cocktails, the thought of saving enough money to finance a run for City Council over 26 years of employment is too much. Come to think of it, Stephen's been in the workforce since Todd was 4 years old. Todd would have had to have saved his tooth fairy money to be able to finance his campaign, I guess. So I suppose we have to forgive him for taking all those thousands from every developer and lobbyist in town. The problem with Todd is that he's such a pleaser and won't know how to say No to his patrons, to whom he now owes so much.
Admin, please remove the postings put up by someone using my name. This is really getting out of hand.
Thank you,
Fred Williams (with a capitol in my last name)
Gloria: Please don't slap me any more, you know I love you and I'll do anything for you. Why do you treat me this way?
Developer: Shut up Gloria, just be a good bottom and do what you're told. I paid for you, now you work for me. I'm taking you into the council chambers now...
Gloria: Oh, why did I ever leave my principles behind...mother!
Developer: Knock off your whining, it's time to shake your money maker.
Council President: The meeting will come to order....
Gloria: I vote YES to the new condos! Give a subsidy to my top developer.
Gloria: I vote YES to privatizing Balboa Park! Give away the citizens' property to top corporations.
Gloria: I vote YES to bailing out top developers downtown! They need help from the taxpayers.
Gloria: I vote NO to any more audits or corruption investigations! We need to save money.
Council President: This meeting is adjourned, the next meeting will be held when the developers tell us and will be about whatever they want us to do for them. Have a nice day.

This is a socially-conscious country. Maybe not as much as many, but more so than others. Without naming any names . . . (we all know who we are).
The most obvious sign is the bikes -- which as I arrived were just being debuted. I doubt it was for my benefit, but still it made for a fine (and as a reporter, inescapable) coincidence. So here goes . . .
Yes, they are bulky; oui, too, they are less than sightly. Grey contrivances they are. Ungainly, aussi; poor relations to the sleek, swift, aero-dynamicly contoured cousins that wend through the Pyrenees, cross country roads, and dash into the cobblestone streets of Paris. Driven by blood-doped riders, hot in pursuit of cash, glory and in the name of commercial sponsors.
The bikes I'm referring to serve another kind of economic purpose: a socio-economic one. And possibly even a moral end: to cut down on traffic, to reduce pollution; perhaps even improve fitness while providing a spot of convenience. Follow?
Well, how it is, is this: last week Paris introduced a docking system for rent-a-bicyclette. 10,000 bikes that can be accomodated by 750 docking stations dispersed across this great, though easily navigable city. The bikes cost a mere one Euro for a day-long access; the costs rise to 5 Euro for one week and then 29 euro for a year. A couple or three years like that and the rider has baseically purchased the machine. The rental practice has been primed by Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe's other complementary transportation policies. For instance, winnowing traffic on major boulevards like St. Michel from three lanes to two, then inserting a granite divider which serves to dedicate the spare lane for buses, taxis and . . . you guessed it . . . bikes. Now, as buses and two-wheelers whiz by stalled cars, drivers cursing their quagmired state might be tempted to contemplate switching to the socially-sensitive mode of transport. For instance: any of the alternatives passing their right shoulder.
We'll see if people end up opting for that option. It is still not perfectly clear how the system ensures that a renter who has failed to return the bike can be tracked down and compelled to pay. Another problem is maintaining ecological balance. Not the kind involving the bio-sphere, as much as the one pertaining to the equal and just distribution of les bicyclettes around the city. After all, if you ride a bike to a particular docking area and it is full . . . then what? Ride to another drop-off point and walk all the way back to where your appointment or class or date is? Well, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?
Come to think of it, I did see a trailer-truck carting about two bikes, presumably to help redress the imbalance. However, considering that the trailer was made to accommodate 8 or 9 bikes, shiring a couple to another end of the city sort of ends up adding to, rather than subtracting from the environmental problem.
Well, perhaps we ought to skip matters of logic. We are talking about progressive social policy here. Revolutionary consciousness, where before only the iron law of individuality ruled. Besides, rationality has its limits . . . there is also the aesthetic dimension to consider. For instance, these bikes make for excellent artsy photographs:
And they already seem to be a seamless part of the landscape.
Making them hard even to detect amidst the normal picaresque Parisian panoply.
If you've tried to navigate the street of Paris, then you may even come to believe that this bike gambit may have a fair chance of catching on. Just too many vehicles in too small a space. Of course, there is always the subway. Although there is less of the glorious scenery to sample, it is still a mode I prefer.
I know the metro is hot and smells of burned rubber. I understand that people can be abrupt and loud (a couple of drunk rappers serenaded the car I was in for about 13 minutes during my ride from Raspail to Cambronne late one night. And, whether the fifteen of us captive riders wished to have the honor conferred on us or not, for those six stops rap music was what we were treated to!). An impromptu concert I wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy on my rent-a-bike. Instead, thus be-biked, I would very quickly have peddled out of earshot. And ridden away from another life-enhancing experience.
Of course, above ground, there would have been other pleasures. A view from the Pont Royal, a boat tethered at the Quai d'Orsay, the mangled tree branch which has managed to insinuate its tentacles into the ironworks of the legislature, young men playing roller hockey . . .
Even a view of the metro from above!
So many precious scenes I might have missed had I remained below-ground.
So . . . yeah . . . come to think of it, this bike thing might have something to recommend it. Maybe next time. I'll keep the eco-cycle in mind for the next time I pass through Paris. So that I really take a full pass at Paris.

TORONTO -- Brian Burke made another proclamation.
Not on his Toronto Maple Leafs and their chances of making the playoffs.
This time, it was the odds of the Canadian Hockey League's top prospects game selling out cavernous Air Canada Centre on Jan. 19 in a city that has supported junior hockey the way Phoenix embraces the NHL.
"We'll fill it," the Leafs GM said.
That's the goal, said Canadian Hockey League president and OHL commissioner David Branch. He believes major junior hockey has a shot at significant inroads in Canada's biggest city and the 2010-11 season is vital to test that theory.
The prospects game will be played two weeks after the world junior tournament in nearby Buffalo. The Memorial Cup is slated for Mississauga's Hershey Centre in May.
"There's a whole strategy in place," Branch said. "We have a tremendous game and we get a phenomenal following in places like Windsor, Kitchener and London. We know there are a lot of junior hockey fans in Toronto. With the events we are offering in the area this year, it's a great opportunity for them to come out and enjoy our sport."
It's been a question in Toronto for years: Is this a Leaf town or a hockey town?
"I think it's a hockey town," Burke said. "The problem with the (American Hockey League) Marlies, Brampton and Mississauga is (media) coverage. You open a paper and there's three pages of the Leafs and you have to go pretty far back and look around for those other (junior hockey) stories."
The Leafs drive hockey here and the CHL is trying to tap into that support.
Don Cherry and Bobby Orr have become synonymous with the top prospects event as celebrity coaches, but there's a chance the men running the bench at the ACC will be legendary Leafs.
"The announcement of who's involved is still to come," Branch said, "but the Leafs have a rich history and we'd be remiss if we didn't . . . tap into that."
Burke indicated he wouldn't ask the CHL to replace Cherry and Orr with former Leafs, which include Kingston Frontenacs coach Doug Gilmour and Wendel Clark.
"It's the CHL's event," said Burke. "If they want (Cherry and Orr), it's up to them. We're here to support them."
The top prospects game features 40 NHL draft eligible players who pro scouts want to see the most. It was, Branch said, a brainchild of Burke when he worked in the NHL office.
There is risk to the players. Last year, Peterborough's Austin Watson hurt his ankle while blocking a shot and two years ago in Oshawa, NHL top pick John Tavares of the London Knights suffered a shoulder injury after taking a hit from Buffalo Sabres first-rounder Zack Kassian, now with the Windsor Spitfires.
"It's never been an all-star game and (today's game compared to the first one 16 years ago), it's like watching thoroughbreds instead of Shetland ponies," Burke said.
The OHL cancelled its all-star game this year in part because of duplication with the top prospects event. Ticket packages for the ACC game are available Friday through Ticketmaster. They start at $30.

Finally uninstalled it and re-installed. Working again.
Do I dare put on the Quilt Maker Designs CD now?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Finally uninstalled it and re-installed. Working again.
Do I dare put on the Quilt Maker Designs CD now?
I would be afraid to do so, could be the original problem came from that cd. I would certainly scan the cd for virus before using it. So glad you were able to reinstall your EQ7. I really like that you can install as many times as needed now, in the past it was 4 times only I think. Good luck and enjoy.
Not sure how many times you can install, but if it is on the same computer, I don't think it matters....There is a deactivate code for taking off the computer, but I did not use that. Just uninstalled it and reinstalled.
I would be very leery of reinstalling the other program... I would be tempted to take it somewhere and have it checked. You may find it is okay, but for some reason your Antivirus program doesn't like it? You may end up having to change something in it to accept it. But I would want to know for sure if that disc is infected...
EQ7 has unlimited downloads... but you can only have it activated on two computers at a time :wink: :D:D:D
Happy to hear you were able to reinstall your original program. Did your missing files reappear?
Hope it works OK for U :)

Billionaire to Sail Exact Replica of the Titanic. Can We Put Some Bankers On It?
Those crazy 1 percenters. What will they think of next?
Australian mining mogul Clive Palmer has announced his plans to build Titanic II, an exact replica of the famously jinxed ocean liner, and sail it across the Atlantic. Palmer, who once nuttily accused Greenpeace of being funded by the CIA to take down Australia's coal mining industry, unveiled his blueprints at a news conference in New York on Tuesday. He cited a desire to pay tribute to those who built and backed the original.
So far, 40,000 applicants willing to pay up to a million bucks a head for a first class cabin have scrambled for the chance to participate in the maiden voyage in 2016. A Downton Abbey-style frolic amid Edwardian splendor is not cheap, but here's what you get: A crew of 900 will cater to 2,435 passengers, and just like the first time, there will be Turkish baths, a grand staircase and a gymnasium. Only this time a helicopter pad and WiFi will be available.
The original Titanic was famously divided into three classes: the poor and immigrants suffered in steerage while the rich disported themselves in first class. Palmer says that travelers will be divided this time, too, and authentic period costumes will be offered for each ticket level. Palmer, who likes to be called "The Professor", jested that he wanted to travel in steerage because that's where all the fun would be. "I will be in third class," said Palmer. "I will enjoy it."
No actual poor people in steerage, mind you. Just rich people having fun pretending. Whoopie!
Which leaves a burning question in the mind. According to The Guardian, the "jovial and brash mogul…refused to be drawn into predicting that his new boat would be 'unsinkable' – and thus avoided repeating an act of hubris that the backers of the first Titanic famously made. " He said that his boat, which is being assembled in China, is perfectly safe and joked that global warming had reduced the number of icebergs. Palmer warns, though, that "anything can sink if you put a hole in it." Hmm…

As I dug my spoon into our shared pint of Stewart's ice cream, eyes fixated on Gaby Douglas' uneven bars routine, my husband, John, turned to me and said, "Maybe we should be eating tofu or salads." I didn't put my spoon down until the pint was gone. But the next night I cooked a salad appropriate for watching chiseled Olympians sweat over fractions of points and seconds.
To make sure I finished cooking before the first event of the evening, I picked up brown sushi rice from the Whole Foods sushi bar. The seasoned rice adds a hint of sweetness to the salad. As a nod to my sweet tooth, I whisked honey into the lime dressing, hoping to keep myself away from ice cream for the night.
Olympic Tofu and Rice Salad with Lime Dressing
Time: 20 Minutes
Serves 2
3 teaspoons Bragg Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon honey
1 14-ounce container extra firm tofu
2 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
1 medium sized carrot (or several baby carrots)
1 ear of corn
2 cups brown sushi rice (or regular brown rice seasoned with 2 teaspoons rice vinegar)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Whisk the Braggs Liquid Aminos, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl.
Drain tofu and, while keeping the tofu in the container, press as much liquid out of it as you can. Slice the tofu block lengthwise into 3/4" slices, then slice vertically so that you create a grid of 3/4" tofu pieces. Pour about half of the marinade on top of tofu, reserving the rest of the marinade to dress the salad. Shake the container lightly from side to side to help the marinade drain into the cracks. Let it sit while you chop the carrots and remove the corn kernels from the husk.
Remove tofu from the container and arrange in a large nonstick frying pan with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Allow to brown lightly before turning. Keep turning every few minutes until all sides are golden. After a few turns, toss in the carrots and corn and cook until warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
Divide the chopped lettuce between two bowls and pour the remaining marinade on top. Divide the rice between the bowls, and then add half of the tofu and vegetables to each bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

WESTLAKE - North Ridgeville and Westlake opened the season with new head coaches Friday night.
Former assistant coach Bill Noggle was taking over for the Rangers while Bob Patton was in charge of the Demons.
Both were looking at a lot of inexperience at several positions and both were looking to see who would step up and help their team.
North Ridgeville had the edge as 6-foot-10 junior Drew McGhee anchored the Rangers` along with a pair of 6-foot-5 forwards, junior starter Keene Cockburn and senior Adam Quinones.
Westlake, meanwhile, had only two returning starters in junior Scott Bishop, a 6-3 guard, and 6-3 forward Alex Pandrangi.
The advantage paid off as North Ridgeville came away a 43-34 winner, with McGhee scoring 22 points, blocking seven shots and grabbing 13 rebounds. Cockburn added 12 points and six rebounds.
Although the score doesn`t indicate it, Westlake stayed with the Rangers, trailing by only two points, 22-20, at halftime and six after three quarters at 31-25.
It was then that North Ridgeville opened up the game by going on an 8-0 run to start the fourth quarter and put the game out of reach.
"We knew coming in that this would not be an easy game," Noggle said. "The high point of the game was when we had a five-point lead and we were able to move that up to 10 and take control of the game.
"We got the shots we wanted on three straight possessions. That`s when we pulled away. That is a very well-coached team over there. We knew Coach Patton would have his team ready to play."
"Our defense was outstanding tonight. Coming into the season, we stressed defense and our kids bought into it. Tonight they did a great job."
McGhee did not have the easy night people might have thought he would have.
"They really played physical," he said. "They put up a good fight. The win was important for us, but this is just one win. We have nineteen more games to play starting with Rocky River. We have two weeks off and we can work on the things we need to."
"We were really, really nervous," Patton said. "It took us the whole first quarter to even catch the ball. We were jittery and really struggling and that translated into the way we shot the ball. To start the game we missed an easy layup.
"I thought we competed hard and defensively we were OK, but we couldn`t make them pay for all the turnovers we got. I guess you could say we just had a poor shooting night. And that was from everybody."
The Rangers have the next two weeks off before hosting Rocky River while Westlake will take on the Pirates on Tuesday night.

Curtis Williams "Drugs" Video
Who doesn't love drugs, though?
Two-9 co-founder Curtis Williams has shared the music video for "Drugs." Directed by Max Hiiva, "Drugs" starts off with Atlanta's rising star Makonnen and Curtis Williams ingesting some substance that doesn't seem to taste all that good. The drugs are definitely working, however, since the turn-up is consummated shortly thereafter.Riff Raff, Mike WiLL Made It, and Raury all makes appearances in the video and, considering the songs subject matter, we can safely assume they're all high as fuck too. The turn up is real down in the ATL, and the video for "Drugs" is proof.

Infographic The Water Rich vs. The Water Poor presented by Seametrics looks at the disparity in access to clean, fresh water between wealthy and underdeveloped nations.
While some might say gold or diamonds, as far as human life goes, water is the world's most precious commodity. As the world population increases, and industry continues to expand, Earth's freshwater reserves are being stretched dangerously thin.

Here it is March and I finally got around to watching Ridley Scott's "A Good Year," starring Russell Crowe and based on Peter Mayle's book of the same title. Yes, I waited for the DVD.
There's no use waiting for the movie in place of reading the book, in my opinion, both in the case of this film or nearly any other, for that matter. The movie is never as good as the book.
What strikes me as odd in this case, is that Ridley Scott planned to make this picture, had Peter Mayle write the book, then essentially re-wrote the story. Apparently the two have no regrets about the project, though.
Both have lived in the south of France where the story is set, and have been longtime friends. It was over a glass of wine that the plans were set into motion, and wine plays an important role in the film, as the title suggests.
Brian Goodell
In the movie, Max Skinner (Crowe) is a London investor who is at the top of his game, willing to put ethics aside for the sake of higher profits.
When he learns of his inheritance of his uncle's chateau in France, his only thought is to sell it for the highest possible price.
While in France to sign papers, he experiences a series of flashback memories to time spent there as a child. He also meets a woman with whom he falls in love, and ultimately grows to love the land, the lifestyle, and perhaps, his inner child.
Numerous scenes show a young Max (Freddie Highmore) being served watered down wine by his uncle. While this may shock Americans, it is typical in France where children are taught to appreciate wine from a very young age.
Vive Le Vin
7 p.m. Saturday in Canyon.
Hosted by The Pahandle Plains Historical Museum.
Beginning at 7 p.m., the evening will include fine wine and great food in a beautiful environment.
The Derrick Room of the Southwest Art Gallery will provide the atmosphere and will hold an art auction as part of the event.
For more details, visit www.panhandleplains.org.
Young Max describes the process of fermentation in one scene, while placing his hands into a vat. The funny thing is, Max seems to have little or no interest in wine as an adult.
He is able to tell, upon his arrival at the Chateau, that the wine produced there is terrible, but beyond that, he shows no lasting effect of that part of his upbringing. Contrast that with Francis Duflot (Didier Bourdon), who sings to the vines and begs Max not to sell, and you get the kind of schizophrenia that this movie truly evokes.
There are funny moments, such as young Max fuming, "You cannot be serious" during a game of tennis with his uncle, and the statement by the oenologist hired to give an opinion on the value of the vineyards.
"We'll have to make sure our buyers don't know anything about wine," he opines. " We'll concentrate on the Americans."
While the book was far more enjoyable for me, the movie is a fun diversion. It brings the concept of the love of wine to all who view it, and this is perhaps the most compelling reason to see it.
BRIAN GOODELL writes a weekly wine column for Morris News Service. To talk wine email@example.com. Until next time happy pours.

Great news - Guilfest is set to return to Stoke Park - Folk have worked hard to bring this great little festival back so do support this one.
Guilfest is a small independent festival. But don't be put off by the thought that it's a small festival - this one's smaller in numbers but HUGE in both what it brings you and the performers it attracts, it has an appeal that transcends the expected norm.
A great festival well worth a visit and with organisers who really do seem to care about their customers - a genuine non commercial quality festival that resists the urge to sponsor themselves up to the hilt but still manages to bring you a major festival to be reckoned with.

DJ Nicholas is back with his sophomore release , "Louder Than Ever!" His boisterous sound needs no introduction and his unique tone requires no amplification. This energetic trailblazer is by far one of the most talented deejays on the gospel reggae scene. With an unparalleled passion, Nicholas once again spits lyrics without compromise or apology.
This project is the highly anticipated follow-up to his widely popular and multi award winning debut, "On The Shout." This time around Nicholas has chosen to work alongside producers Danny Brownie, Karl Gibson, Dale (Dr. Dizzle) Virgo and Jermaine Edwards with splendid results.
While he is a multifaceted artist, on this album two sides of Nicholas prevail; The deejay and the preacher. His skill-set as a deejay is apparent when he takes us to the streets on hardcore songs like the addictive "One Less," the ethereal "Trouble" and the ominously dark "Round Here." His forte is mastering the most militant up-tempo riddim with extreme precision. This is best found on spitfire tracks like "Wise as a Serpent," "Harvesting," "Back 2 D Owner" and "Under Subjection." Songs like these are what Nicholas is renown for.
There is another side of Nicholas that has developed significantly since his conversion from a Rastafarian years ago. These days DJ Nicholas is also known as "Minister Nicholas," a title given to him on stage by two ministers in Jamaica before a sea of witnesses. His gift at the pulpit has become all the more apparent on this album in songs like the foretelling "I Prophecy," and the charismatic "He that Dwelleth" where he replaces rhymes with what some may consider religious rants. While this type of address may be common in the Pentecostal church, it is rare to hear something like this make a studio release. Two of my favorite offerings from Minister Nicholas are the familiar "Revival" and the cleverly adapted "Things Already Better." On these tracks and others he takes us to the church with memorable hooks, sharp lyrics and a witty delivery.
Following the tremendous success of "On The Shout," Nicholas has gathered an impressive lineup for this ultra-hot release. This project boasts features by Teena Tamara, Omari, Jermaine Edwards, and two appearances by Judith Gayle. One of my favorite cuts on the album is the meditative "Living for Jesus" featuring Edwards. On this track we get a glimpse of a lower key Nicholas that compliments much of the bombastic delivery on the rest of the project.
Whether he is deejaying or singjaying over dancehall, soca, hip-hop or roots riddims, it is all the more apparent in this second installment that Nicholas is one of the most passionate and clever lyricists in the gospel reggae arena. With a truly original approach, he also has one of the most distinct vocal sounds in both gospel and mainstream reggae.
Wherever you are on your journey with God, this 18-track powerhouse is sure to satisfy even the most critical of ears. On "Louder Than Ever," DJ Nicholas seamlessly blends the sound of the streets of Kingston with the heart of the church and the passion of a tremendously talented artist. Order your copy today--You won't be disappointed!

what do you think about this set-up... so it can be closed at night if i feel it's necessary... but left open during the day... the little slashes are the doors of course.
and when should i introduce them to the together to rest of the house?
they were sharing the side yesterday. the door was left open so they could have left at any point but they spent the whole afternoon sleeping together. sometimes side by side, or at angles. in this pic they were flopped out on opposite sides. i don't think Max could've been anymore relaxed...
this afternoon i switched it into the set-up i had posted above: "the modified Markus approach" lol. allow Max to demonstrate...
they can either have two separate pens
one larger pen with the door opened betw/ them... nice jump Max!
for separate runtime (if i feel it's necessary!) i can just open the left pen door, or move two panels to allow the right pen to be open...
i have not put them together today yet b/c it took me awhile to set this up and i have a doctor appt this afternoon. i'll give it a try a little bit later. i think i am going to keep this set-up for awhile b/c i like how sturdy it is. so, you're recommending i leave them in the xpens for two weeks, or also let them in their room? i still want them to have somewhat normal playtime...
side note: i figured out how Max is "eating" so many more veggies than Meadow... sneaky bun.
The set up looks awesome and the pics are great!!!! You are doing so well with the bonding! Any humping? Someone sure likes the willow ball! I'm fascinated they don't scarf the greens in one sitting. Edson inhales them. Is Max friendly towards you guys?
thank you Knowls. i am trying. it's been about 3 weeks... so i don't think i'm doing too bad. i think i'm still more cautious than anything... there has been absolutely no humping. at least none i've seen. it's ridiculous the amount of willow they go thru. for the first week or so, Max wouldn't even touch it. now he's tearing it apart as quick as Meadow. i just had to place another huge order... i give them a lot of greens. they will finish the big bowl within a few hours or so. they munch a few leaves... then go away, then come back later. they scarf the pellets, but i feed them separately, so it's not a huge deal. it was funny yesterday b/c Meadow and Max were eating pellets out of the same bowl. but they kept mashing foreheads trying to get at them... i put the other pellet bowl next to them but they kept eating out of the same one.
i am exhausted.
there were a few thumps last night, but i don't know why. i was watching tv and i had the door open, so i don't know if they were in reaction to the tv... or some people were putting off some early fireworks outside... everytime there was a thump, i hopped outta bed and checked on them and they're sitting there looking at me like... "uh, what?" so i passed out.
my husband left at 5 for work, and then at 6 am like clockwork... they become the energizer bunnies. i hear munching hay, flying leaps in and out of the litterbox. Meadow gnawing on her wood house. there was this huge racket... bars were banging. i leap out of bed again (as well as i can "leap" at 6 am) to see who's killing who... and it's silly Max trying to dislodge the makeshift hayrack... and he keeps banging it against the bars. i got back in bed.
my son comes and wakes me up a little bit later. he says "Max's ear is broken!" again, covers fly... i high-jump the bed... he shows me Max's ear. it's just the little part that was injured when he was a baby. whew. leave it to him to not notice until right now...
so day one... and all is well...
Posted By Samantha on 07/02/2008 2:13 PM
Max's flop is quite possible the CUTEST I've ever seen They look great together!
That's EXACTLY how I feel.
I think any two bunnies that mash heads to eat out of the same bowl when there's another one right there are BONDED.

On my website, I have added the possibility for the users to upload their photos. I do have a back office from where I can delete some of the images that do not comply with the site policy.
However, I am deleting only the record from the database, not the actual image from the folder where it is uploaded.
Record in the database field look like 150068imagename.jpg for example. I do have added time stamp to each image to prevent duplicate images names.
What I would like to accomplish is not only to delete the record, but to delete and the actual file from the folder which is located on the server where the site is hosted. Anyone can tell me if and how can I accomplish this?
Regards, Zoreli
You can use the unlink function to delete files from the hard disk. Just execute that once you've removed the row from the database (not before, because then if the deletion of the row fails you're in a situation where you have a row pointing to an image that does not exist, which may cause nasty errors on your website).
Thanks mate...I will give it a try, hopefully it will work...

The US military is developing a robot with a teddy bear-style head to help carry injured soldiers away from the battlefield. The Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) can scoop up even the heaviest of casualties and transport them over long distances over rough terrain. New Scientist magazine reports that the "friendly appearance" of the robot is designed to put the wounded at ease. It is expected to be ready for testing within five years.
While it is important to get medical attention for injured soldiers as soon as possible, it is often difficult and dangerous for their comrades to reach them and carry them back. The 6ft tall Bear can cross bumpy ground without toppling thanks to a combination of gyroscopes and computer controlled motors to maintain balance. It is also narrow enough to squeeze through doorways, but can lift 135kg with its hydraulic arms in a single smooth movement, to avoid causing pain to wounded soldiers. While the existing prototype slides its arms under its burden like a forklift, future versions will be fitted with manoeuvrable hands to gently scoop up casualties. The Bear is controlled remotely and has cameras and microphones through which an operator sees and hears.

Ask A Trooper: Question about reduced conflict intersections
Question: How do troopers, deputies and city police like the new style of intersections where drivers can't go straight across another roadway, but instead have to take a right and go down a ways, then turn around and then make a right turn again?
Also, what is the deal: left turns are bringing traffic away from the regular lanes of traffic and you are in that lane for longer than normal?
Answer: I can't speak for everyone, but we should love them because they reduce crashes, injuries and deaths. I realize that some people don't seem to like them at first, but they get use to them. You have to understand that those types of intersections you are seeing or talking about are a result of a lot of studies and planning. They are commonly referred to by those in the traffic safety world as reduced conflict intersections.
These intersections are safer and they are faster to build and they reduce the chances of crashes. When compared to a typical four-lane divided intersection where there are 42 conflict points, there are only 24 conflict points in a typical reduced conflict intersection, making them much safer than normal intersections. You can copy and paste this website below in your favorite online search engine and you will see how these types of intersections work and the value they have in traffic safety:
You can also see a great sample of a recent intersection project by going to:
As for the left turn part of these intersections, it brings the vehicles in a position where they can see oncoming traffic better and eliminates the opportunity for the "last second turner" and prevents crashes. They are longer too, to handle more turning vehicles. Thanks for asking and giving us the opportunity to give our perspective as well as the facts.
