I'd planned to spend a couple of hours watching my son at the first Little League clinic of the season today, but turned out it wasn't that kind of clinic — dads begone. Like all good gadgetistas, though, I had a few niggling unmet accessory needs to fill. So sprung for a couple of hours of invented time, I headed into Boston.
I have a new carry-everywhere camera, the mostly delightful Samsung NX 200. It's a slightly odd size though, kind of a tweener, and doesn't fit into any of my current camera bags. It's lost in the Crumpler "Three Million Dollar Home" that holds my digital SLR and it's a complete no go to squeeze into one of the smaller cases designed for point-and-shoots I have lying around. But it's high time to get some protection. Already had a few freak-outs — once, I left the camera in a jacket pocket, dumped the jacket on the couch, then looked on in horror as one of the kids sat on it. No crunch, no foul, luckily.
After striking out wandering into a local camera store and a Radio Shack (right, what was I thinking?), I decided to see what Google thought. Quick search for "Crumpler cases Boston" via the trusty Galaxy Nexus came up with a 2008 list of recommendations on Metafilter. The obvious answer seemed to be Hunt's Photo & Video.
Shopping karma was good. I zipped into the city only to find a free parking space on Comm Ave right in front of the store. Inside, there was a great variety of bags plus the kind of truly knowledgeable sales people that make shopping fun. I ended up with a perfect fit, the Crumpler Two Million Dollar Home, as it turned out, and bought a needed lens filter, too.
I needed a couple of bottles of wine for a dinner we're hosting this weekend and Hunt's happens to be right over a liquor store with a reasonable wine selection and another super-helpful sales person. Grabbed some Shiraz and a couple of Merlots to go with the incredible lamb dinner super wife, aka Whitney Connaughton, is cooking up and it was time to move on.
I was on such a shopping high, I decided to see if I could find cheap, on-street parking in the Newbury Street neighborhood, which includes the giant Back Bay Boston Apple store. Sure enough, the parking gods continued to smile upon me and I got a great space. Walking down Newbury Street, Yelp via Android advised the best caffeine refill is from Wired Puppy — and they're correct as usual. A small cap and some fresh roasted beans later, I'm on my way in the spring drizzle, feeling like my shopping fu is so strong I cannot be defeated. The feeling doesn't last long, unfortunately.
The second task was to get a new cover for our aged iPad2. My wife's upgraded to an iPad (3rd Generation) and taken her leather smart cover and BRIGHT PINK Incase sleeve case — which they don't even seem even to make anymore — with her to cutting-edge-gadget-land (where I assure you she's just visitor not a long-time local like me). That's left poor hand-me-down, kid toy iPad2 naked, vulnerable and smudgy.
I thought the obvious answer was just to go into an Apple Store. After all, they have an endless supply of iPhone and iPod cases. But, turned out, they've completely de-stocked iPad cases except their own smart cases at least at the big Boston store. I found that so hard to believe that even after one of the helpful blue shirts told me this information, I continued pawing the shelves in disbelief. Sure enough, they now have a vast and beautiful display of laptop cases, including many for the 11″ MacBook Air that would almost fit an iPad, but nothing else. Crazy. Ok, Apple, consider that at least $50 of my money you don't get.
So what about the giant, three-floor Best Buy nearby? Almost as bad! A few choices of folio-type cases, a few hard covers for the screen and nothing. (Update: A few weeks after I wrote this post, Best Buy announced it was closing the Back Bay location. Not exactly a shocker.)
In desperation, I even wandered into the local Urban Outfitters. Cool stuff for cell phones, crazy-looking headphones and a few other tech-y items. But for the iPad? Nada.
I don't think I'm being too picky. I don't like the smart cover (at all!) and I'm looking for something that will protect the iPad on both sides from scratches, scrapes and even maybe a short drop. I'd also like to be able to squeeze the iPad with cover into the laptop pocket of my briefcase along with my Macbook, so the cover needs to be devoid of scratchability on the outside, too. Is it really so hard?
The answer will have to reside online, I guess. Etsy has a billion possibilities, as does Amazon. I'm just not so psyched to shop online for something I'll be holding in my hands all the time. No tactile info comes through on my screen. And the search experience with the billion possibilities leaves much to be desired. I wish there were checkboxes or sliders that worked to filter the choices in real time by color, material etc., but it's all just keywords and prices. (Postscript: I ended up going with this kind of boring black sleeve from an Etsy seller)
But the experience got me thinking. With so much available online, it's getting harder and harder for retail stores out here in the real world. Borders, Circuit City, CompUSA — all long gone. Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Gamestop — it feels like they're just hanging on by a thread.
Apple's doing fine but it's such a banal and generic experience — there was almost no difference between the merchandise in the Apple store on Regent Street in London I perused last week and the one I visited today on Boylston Street in Boston. Of course, the computers and phones are the same, but even the range of bags and cases and other accessories was amazingly identical.
No one can deny that Apple has aced most of the winning strategies for succeeding at retail in the 21st Century but there's one piece I positively ache for — a unique shopping experience — that they never give me. It's just so damn generic. Is there room in the world of 2012 for a tech-y, nerdy store that stocks not computers and phones themselves but all the needed add-ons, goo-gahs and accessories? I want a focus on the high-end, the mega-high-end, the artsy, the unusual. If 40 or 50 million of us all have to carry around the identical iPad, the same phone, a common laptop, can we at least regain some style points or distinction via the case, the sleeve, the stickers, the wrapping, the externals and add-ons? And can someone smart and helpful curate a collection for sale of great accessories, the best, the lightest, the coolest, smallest, achingly brilliant ones that as soon as we see and touch we simply can't do without? Must be a way.
What do you think?

Protesting monks storm media tour in western China
XIAHE, China
XIAHE, China (Reuters) - Fifteen Tibetan Buddhist monks interrupted a state-sponsored media tour of a restive region of western China on Wednesday, demanding the return of the Dalai Lama and yelling that they had no human rights.
In the second such incident in as many months, the monks, carrying a banned Tibetan flag, burst out of a building at the Labrang monastery in the town of Xiahe, in the northwestern province of Gansu, and rushed across a plaza to a group of 20 visiting Chinese and foreign journalists.
"The Dalai Lama has to come back to Tibet. We are not asking for Tibetan independence, we are just asking for human rights. We have no human rights now," one monk told the reporters in Chinese.
Many of the monks had covered their heads in robes. One monk, with his robe over his head, kept pushing his right hand over his left fist and saying "China - Tibet", implying that China was suffocating Tibet.
They said eight monks were still being held by authorities, but did not specify if they were from Labrang or elsewhere, and that plainclothes agents of China's paramilitary armed police force were stationed throughout Xiahe.
Some of the monks threw prayer shawls over the shoulders of photographers.
Officials leading the tour did not appear to try to intervene during the incident, but a number of older monks persuaded the protesters to disperse after about 10 minutes.
Hundreds of monks from the Labrang monastery led a march through Xiahe in mid-March, after riots erupted in the Tibetan regional capital Lhasa on March 14.
Xiahe is one of the biggest centres of the Dalai Lama's Gelukpa branch of Buddhism.
China poured troops into the region to restore order in the wake of the protests. Xiahe was still under heavy armed guard earlier this month, a Reuters eyewitness reported.
On Wednesday, the main street of Xiahe showed a few buildings with broken windows but little other obvious damage.
The incident is the second disruption by protesting Buddhist monks during a stage-managed tour organised for reporters.
In late March, Chinese authorities were embarrassed after about 30 monks stormed a briefing by a temple administrator for a select group of foreign journalists at the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, shouting that the reporters were being lied to.
Monastery officials played down Wednesday's protest.
"What you journalists just saw was a very small minority of people who disrupt our harmonious and peaceful life and religious activities, said Gongqihujinba, vice-director of the Labrang monastery's management committee.
"We will take care of them under national law. What they did was not consistent with national security laws, or rules on religion," said Gongqihujinba, who is also a member of an advisory body to Gansu's provincial parliament.
Guomangcang, dean of religious affairs at a provincial Buddhism academy attached to Labrang, suggested that the monks may have been put up to the protest.
"Maybe the young ones were not acting of their own accord, maybe someone influenced them," Guomangcang said. China has said Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and his associates are behind the unrest. The Dalai Lama, who fled into exile in India in 1959 after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule, has denied the accusation.

RE: UGA and PGA basic question
- From: "Bobak, Mark" <Mark.Bobak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- To: <Harvinder.Singh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "Oracle-L Freelists" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 18:00:54 -0500
Hi Harvinder, The concepts you want to keep straight here are what actually goes into the PGA and the UGA. PGA is process memory. It's private to the user's background process. Anything there cannot be seen by another process. UGA is session level memory. It's session state information, PL/SQL package variables, and other stuff that must always be available to the session. In general, Oracle would prefer to keep stuff in the PGA, rather than SGA, since the PGA is private, and no latching is required for accessing any PGA memory. Now, think about shared server vs. dedicated server. In the dedicated server world, servers (meaning server or background processes) are NOT shared. A connection is established to the instance, a background process exists for the life of that session on that sustained connection to the database. In the shared server case, this is NOT true. During the life of a session, it may be assigned to many different server processes. So, UGA (that is, session level information) *can't* be in the PGA, cause if it was, when the session switched to another server process, it would lose access to it's session state, and worse, it would get some other session's state. So, in the shared server model, UGA (session level) memory MUST be shared by residing in the SGA, which can be seen by any server process. Now, as far a sort_area_size and sort_area_retained_size, what happens there? First, sort_area_size is allocated, as needed, in the PGA. It actually only needs to exist for the duration of a database call, and since (even in shared server mode) a session can't be switched from one server process to another during a database call, so, there is no danger of a session losing access to it's sort_area_size. The sort_area_retained_size is a bit different. This is used in the final step of final sort output, it's the buffer from which rows are fetched. So, if your query sorts 10,000 rows, and your arraysize is set to fetch 100 at a time, what happens to the other 9,900 rows? They are kept in a buffer whose size is bounded by the sort_area_retained_size. Since FETCH is a database call, and it may retrieve only 100 rows, (leaving 9,900 rows in the buffer), that data MUST persist between database calls. Therefore, it MUST reside in the UGA. So, if you look at it this way, it becomes clear what the answers to your questions are. If the server is dedicated, the UGA is a sub-heap of the PGA. It can be, cause there is no circumstance where the process would lose access to that sesssion-level data. If the server is shared, the UGA is a sub-heap of the SGA. In this case, it MUST be, otherwise, it would be possible for a session to "lose" the session-level data, if it were in the PGA. sort_area_size and hash_area_size reside in the PGA, sort_area_retained_size resides in the UGA. Hope that helps, -Mark PS I think I got that (mostly) right but comments and corrections are, of course, welcome. ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Harvinder Singh Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 5:20 PM To: Oracle-L Freelists Subject: UGA and PGA basic question Hi, This is with reference to 10g on solaris 10. It is clear from the documentation that in Shared Server mode UGA is part of the SGA and in dedicated mode it is in PGA. 1) if we are using workarea=auto and pga_aggregate_target is set In Dedicated mode since UGA is part of PGA all the sorting, hashing will come from PGA area, but if we are using Shared server do sorting, hashing still comes from PGA or since now UGA is part of SGA it comes from SGA? 2) if we are using workarea=manual and sort_area_size and hash_area_size is set Do these areas belongs to the UGA or PGA? Thanks --Harvinder

CaMKII regulates the frequency-response function of hippocampal synapses for the production of both LTD and LTP.
To investigate the function of the autophosphorylated form of CaMKII in synaptic plasticity, we generated transgenic mice that express a kinase that is Ca2+ independent as a result of a point mutation of Thr-286 to aspartate, which mimics autophosphorylation. Mice expressing the mutant form of the kinase show an increased level of Ca(2+)-independent CaMKII activity similar to that seen following LTP. The mice nevertheless exhibit normal LTP in response to stimulation at 100 Hz. However, at lower frequencies, in the range of 1-10 Hz, there is a systematic shift in the size and direction of the resulting synaptic change in the transgenic animals that favors LTD. The regulation of this frequency-response function by Ca(2+)-independent CaMKII activity seems to account for two previously unexplained synaptic phenomena, the relative loss of LTD in adult animals compared with juveniles and the enhanced capability for depression of facilitated synapses.[1]References

Before Jesus died, He arranged to meet His disciples on a certain mountain in Galilee, where He would deliver a very important message. After He rose from the dead, He appeared numerous times, but waited for the rendezvous on the mountain to give that critical message, the marching orders for the Church from that day until the end of the age: The Great Commission. This series explores that commission in detail in a phrase-by-phrase study. What is a disciple exactly? What does "all nations" mean? This study will answer those questions and help you discern what the priorities of the local church should be.Series: Go Make Disciples
It is not enough to learn true things about God.
It is not even enough to experience the benefits of His attributes. We must not be satisfied until our experience of each attribute has been profound enough to move our soul toward deeper love for God.
We must keep learning and experiencing what is so wonderful about each attribute until there is a response in our affections -sparks of actual joy, peace, delight, awe, fear of God, security, satisfaction of soul, comfort, courage, and all the other benefits
Scripture promises will come from the nearness of God's favorable presence. Each one of God's attributes is a single ray in the spectrum of the brilliant radiance of His glory. That glory is an ocean, and just one drop of that ocean, if you could just see it clearly, would be enough to delight your soul and occupy your faculties of praise for all eternity.
This book is a journal of how God has been opening my eyes the past few years to begin to see a glimpse of that drop.

TVMUMBLESpunk | Girls
Coming to Sky Atlantic in September
Spoilers included
Approaching the mid-point of the season, this episode amps up the drama as all four of our females have shit hit their respective fans. Of course, in keeping with Girls, the drama is not overly sensational instead revelling in a slightly unlikely but utterly plausible fashion. It was necessary for this to occur as, while the last episode was still entertaining, there was a lack of progression in the narrative.
Hannah gets a new job, gets massaged/touched up by her much older boss, dumps Adam over a cock-text that he sent her by mistake and then, when he seems responsive to her issues, ends up back in his arms. Jessa loses the two children she is babysitting in the park, while Shoshanna almost manages to lose her virginity until she frightens the guy off with her virginity. The biggest poop though is when Charlie and Ray are alone in the flat, find Hannah's diary, then perform a show in front of the four girls where Charlie sings a song called 'Hannah's Diary' quoting extracts about how unhappy Marnie is with him.
Aside from all of this drama, I found more interest in the episode elsewhere.
Firstly we get a bunch of side characters that we are unlikely to encounter too often that not only combat the lack of racial diversity that some people had with the show, but also add some freshness. Sometimes it works as in the case of the two colleagues that Hannah befriends who, while cartoony, add a few laughs and a different kind of voice to the pretty similar one that the leads share, but then the nannies that Jessa meets with in the park culminates in a hideously unrealistic scene where she tries to create a nannies union. Regardless, it is nice to see some new faces that you're not expected to remember.
Secondly, we get to see more from male characters including the first occasion in the series where we get two guys interacting without a female present (correct me if I'm wrong in the comments). Ray and Charlie act exactly as blokes would do when alone in a girl's apartment and their humour is definitely tailored to suit their gender. The same can be said of the advice given at the beginning of the episode, where you get to see the far simpler suggestion from Charlie and this again proves that the show is definitely capable of writing for guys. Hannah's boss meanwhile adds a very interesting and real dilemma to the show where his version of sexual harassment seems innocent but isn't quite. Finally the throwaway moment as Jessa walks away from Jeff, the father that she babysits for, and his brother and they remark on her looks. Sure it's somewhat sexist but it is realistic and works well alongside the moment earlier in the show when Charlie remarks on Adam's cock from the photo.
This might be my favourite episode so far, not because of the drama, comedy or anything at all like that, but more because it feels more rounded. This is the first episode that seems to be adapting to the idea of longevity and what is required to keep people entertained over the distance, and it certainly worked on me.

It is here, as the credits started to roll on the third episode, that I realised Girls is exactly the show that I had hoped that it would be. The attitude, the honesty, the sexuality and the everyday are represented so perfectly here that it made me ask my girlfriend as to whether she agreed with my conclusion. The idea that this show feels unique just because it seems to not paint an idea of femininity but instead just shows us normal girls being normal is somewhat depressing, but I couldn't be happier that it exists. I feel like my appreciation for the show comes from a line in the second episode where Jessa says, in response to a self-help book for women, 'I don't like women telling other women what to do or how to do it or when to do it.'
In this episode Hannah first learns that she has an STD and then, when trying to inform him of this, finds out that her ex-boyfriend is now gay. It is strange as we do not find out very much about Hannah in this episode that we didn't already know. Instead this feels more like Marnie's episode as she is first seen complaining about Charlie shaving his head despite stating in the last episode that she wanted him to just be a man and do whatever he wants without worrying about her response and then later finds herself pleasuring herself in the bathroom of a gallery after a potential sexual moment with an artist. Elsewhere, Jessa takes a job being a nanny and seems to strike up a relationship with the dad.
As an episode it culminates with a wonderfully charming moment with Hannah pondering and redrafting a tweet to best sum up her journey over the episode and then dancing alone in her room before being joined by Marnie. This just seems such a natural way to react to the way their days have gone and once again my girlfriend sat and chuckled recognising herself in that moment. I really appreciate that.

This episode seems to revolve around the issue of sex, focusing primarily on what females want from it and sexual health itself. Hannah shows an irrational fear of sexual diseases whilst being called out by Marnie for allowing Adam to cast her as a demeaning character in his sexual fantasies. Marnie herself is unhappy at the way Charlie only wants to make her happy and doesn't understand that she wants him to be a more demanding, selfish version of himself. All of this is set to the backdrop of Jessa requiring an abortion. With this incredibly dark and depressing plot, it is quite incredible how funny and light this episode actually is.
For me, this is what Girls should be. It is definitely touching on the issues but they are covered with equal amounts of consideration and comedy, never allowing the show to become heavy but also not a farce. We also start to get to see the different sides to the characters. When Hannah goes for her job interview we get to see both her qualities and her flaws, while we get to see the unflappable and confident Jessa from the first episode show frailties with regard to her current situation. These moments are subtle and the performances are remarkably natural. What has become incredibly clear from just these first two episodes is that there will not be good or bad or wrong or right characters in Girls, there will just be people who happen to have positive and negative characteristics.
After the first episode left me less than enthused, this episode worked so well that it not only got me excited for the next one but also made me retroactively start to adjust my opinions on the first one. That is quite an achievement.

TVMUMBLESpunk | Girls
Coming to Sky Atlantic in September
It was no surprise to me when the bad reviews rained down on the first episode of Girls. I had seen Tiny Furniture (Dunham's SXSW and Independent Spirit winning feature) earlier in the year and found the characters to be spoilt little brats with absolutely no redeemable qualities, the same complaints that were aimed at Girls. It also didn't surprise me however to see a lot of people defending both Dunham and Girls as an entity. Despite my assumption that I would side with those knocking it, I could understand some of their arguments as it would be utterly moronic to dismiss a film-maker based on the first episode of the first series of their first ever TV show. There were accusations of inherent sexism in people's complaints, as though because Lena Dunham is a female she is quicker to be ostracised without many people acknowledging that she possibly wouldn't have had the same level of exposure had she not been a she. Regardless, by the time I sat down to watch it, I had read more responses to people's responses on Girls than I had actual reviews of it.
Needless to say, I had the same overall response to those who hated it. The episode starts with Hannah (Dunham) acting spoilt in the face of her parents cutting her off after supporting her financially for two years since she graduated, and ending with her crossing a road in front of traffic and then sticking her hand out expecting them to stop for her while others wait. Throughout she pisses and whines about how life is totally unfair and I'm sure she's attempting to make a statement about this generation and the lack of responsibility for their actions and opportunities available to them, but no one wants to watch half an hour of that when her life is preferable to their own.
Elsewhere in the episode we are introduced to her flatmate Marnie (Allison Williams) who is dating Charlie (Christopher Abbott) but she has lost the spark that they might once have had. She then she gets frustrated when Jessa (Jemima Kirke), an old friend that she and Hannah share, comes to New York to stay and gives Hannah some really irresponsible advice. On top of this we also get introduced to Adam (Adam Driver), Hannah's fuck-buddy, who is of a similar educational and economic background to the others but has chosen to seemingly embrace the moment and refuse to buy into the lifestyle that he is expected to.
A lot of potential storylines and narratives are established and they are done so with aplomb. The humour is pretty spot on and I chuckled frequently and laughed more often than I expected. The dialogue is natural but purposeful in a way that hints at Dunham's mumblecore background but in a way that has naturally evolved to suit HBO programming. The acting is convincing and features those from Tiny Furniture who I found most engaging.
Basically, it's a perfectly fine first episode if you ignore the actions and attitude of Hannah and the tone that her character manages to infuse throughout the running time. I am totally willing however, despite this entitled attitude in both this episode and Tiny Furniture, to continue watching the show for a number of reasons but one in particular. I like the idea of a show created and predominantly written by a female regarding females at a pivotal period in their life, there aren't enough women getting the opportunity to represent women effectively in media and, most importantly, this is the first episode of a show and the first instance spent with this character and, just as it would be unfair to write Dunham off based on her characterisation when she has shown that she has some potentially interesting things to say, it would be wrong to write a central character off based on the first of ten episodes.

Dems in disarray in WisconsinThe Democratic primary to choose a challenger to face Governor Scott Walker in the June recall election will be held today. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is expected to breeze to victory. But the Democrat's plans to run against Walker based on the controversial public employee union reforms have fallen through. Voters are more concerned about the economy in the state, and this has Democrats scrambling to satisfy their union paymasters while addressing the real concerns of voters. The Wall Street Journal gives some background: If Walker loses, liberals will still try to spin the results as a vote against his collective bargaining bill. But most ordinary voters in Wisconsin have far more important things on their minds and Walker's vulnerability on the economy may do him in yet. |

December 31, 2007 New Video, New Questions in Bhutto Assassination
A new video of the assassination that emerged yesterday appears to show former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto being hit by gunfire just prior to a suicide bomber blowing himself up. The pictures show a gunman firing at Bhutto and her headscarf flying up indicating a probable hit by one or more bullets.
The video also shows the suicide bomber blew himself up a second after the gunman fired a third shot. In addition, the pictures seem to show Bhutto already back inside the car when the bomb went off thus giving the lie to the government's contention that she was killed by hitting her head on the sun roof's lever. There is also a report that doctors were pressured to conform to the government's version of events: Athar Minallah, a board member of the hospital where Ms. Bhutto was treated, released her medical report along with an open letter showing that her doctors wanted to distance themselves from the government theory that Ms. Bhutto had died by hitting her head on a lever of her car's sunroof during the attack.More facts are coming to light that President Musharraf evidently refused to increase security for Bhutto and that he even denied Bhutto's request to hire her own western bodyguards. Meanwhile, Doctors are coming forward, contradicting the official version of events: Mr. Minallah distributed the medical report with his open letter to the Pakistani news media and The New York Times. He said the doctor who wrote the report, Mohammad Mussadiq Khan, the principal professor of surgery at the Rawalpindi General Hospital, told him on the night of Ms. Bhutto's death that she had died of a bullet wound.Pressure is building for an international tribunal to investigate the killing. The investigation would be modeled after the Hariri Tribunal in Lebanon which has yet to sit and hear any evidence despite being in existence for most of the last year. If Musharraf is smart, he'll allow the Tribunal to investigate. As long as their is doubt about the government story there will be unrest. And with elections just a couple of weeks away, it would seem to be the right move to take some of the fire out of the rioters. |

IIS and Oracle delegation
The Great NDB project at work is a three-tier chemical registration system built on top of Oracle and MDL Software's ISIS server and Chemical Oracle cartridge. The middle tier is a series of web services hosted as ISAPI DLLs on IIS, which the client connects to. I thought it would be good to use external Oracle account authentication to simplify the account creation process, and to ensure that user permissioning and auditing in Oracle will work correctly. Actually setting up the external authentication in Oracle 9i is easy enough ; getting IIS 6.0 to kick off the Oracle connection as the connecting user is something else. I seem to have got it working by using "Basic Authentication", which is not exactly ideal, seeing as it's plain text passwords. However, wrapping the connection up with SSL was easy enough, so perhaps that will do for now. I was hoping to be using Kerberos ("Integrated Windows Authentication"), but I guess there is a configuration step I missed somewhere. All advice kindly received.

More happy tales from the modern world
How gratifying to read that passengers on flight ZB613 bound from Malaga to Manchester mutinied in order to have two suspicious looking, Arabic speaking, inconveniently brown men turfed off the plane. They were detained by Spanish police while the plane's luggage was searched for explosives. The plane took off 3 hours late without the two perps, who were questioned and released to travel the next day.
There is so much about this that is wrong. Does anyone who travelled on that flight have one ounce of regret for causing two fellow travellers 24 hours delay? My guess is that 99% of that flight was composed of white lower middle class holiday makers, and their justification was "well, you can't be too careful, can you?". Yes, you can, when it involves racially discriminating against people who have as much right to travel as you do. Especially when the basis for turfing them off the plane was a) they look different and b) they speak different. Apparently, someone's genius child said "they look like terrorists" and someone else overheard them speaking Arabic! Shock horror! Speaking Arabic, when Morroco and Algeria lie so far away from Spain? What are they thinking! They must be conspiring to blow us all up!!! Saints forfend us!!!!! GET THEM OFF THE PLANE, THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!!!!!!!

Denmark for my German visitors
It occurs to me as I surf my referrer log (and this is a reflection of the general slowness of my brain and the ineptness of my language skills) that the title of this blog is also similar to the German proper noun for Denmark, "Dänemark". As a small disambiguation service to my accidental, and no doubt terribly confused, German visitors who were presumably expecting to read about holidaying in Denmark, allow me to provide you with a link directly to the German pages of the VisitDenmark website and one to a German language webpage on holidaying in Denmark. Schönen Tag noch!

Planet Rupert
News that the solar system has grown three extra planets (Ceres, Charon and 2003 UB313) is surely welcome - it's always nice to have a new extension or three built on the old place for a bit more room: a new workshop, a den, maybe some extra storage space. On the other hand, you might think it's a long way up to the attic, but try getting to Charon and back in time for dinner carrying three boxes of old photos, then remembering you left your keys up there.
One issue we have with the new planets is that no-one is seriously proposing the name "Rupert" for planetoid 2003 UB313. Personally, I think this is a grave affront to the memory of Douglas Adams, and needs to be redressed by the object's co-discoverer, M E Brown, as soon as possible. Act soon, Dr Brown! The gerbulons expect!

MDL Draw control tips in Delphi
... although it should work generally. Note I'm using Viatcheslav V. Vassiliev's Managed VCL components for Delphi 7 ...
Assume you have configured a TClrControl and set the AssemblyName property to MDL.Draw.Renderer, Version=1.4.1000.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e922e3fd683b3777 (although the MDL.Draw.Renditor assembly will also do), and the ControlName property to MDL.Draw.Renderer.Renderer (although the MDL.Draw.Renditor.Editor control will also do).
Assume that you've read a molfile into variable MolFileString. You can set the molfile property of the Renderer control using the following code:
ClrControl1.ClrObject.DispProperty['MolFileString']:= MolFileString
Assume you also have a TImage instance available that you want to capture the Renderer image into as a bitmap. You can easily do it like this:
ClrControl1.ClrObject.DispProperty['MolFileString']:= ClientDataSet1.FieldByName('ConvMolfileString').AsString; Image1.Picture.Bitmap.Handle:= ClrControl1.ClrObject.DispProperty['Image'].GetHBitmap;

The Onion on "The War on Terrier" : men buy too many mobiles phones, charged with terror offenses
Except it isn't. It's real. It's the story of a low functioning WalMart clerk in Michigan getting suspicious because three Arab-looking guys bought 80 mobile phones. So she did what any right-thinking citizen would in Bush's New America: she called the cops. And gee whiz, those guys had 1,000 phones in the van. Now, the local cops seem to have been caught up in the "War on Terrier", and somehow established that this was part of an elaborate plot to destroy the Mackinac Bridge because the three guys also had pictures of the bridge in the van. No explosives, though, or anything resembling detailed and dastardly instructions from the controller of their terror cell. Yes, that's right, because mobile phones have been used as detonators elsewhere, apparently the more of them you have, the more dangerous they are. What, were they going to keep buying mobile phones and strategically hide them in the bridge infrastructure until the extra weight caused it to collapse? Or maybe put vibrating batteries in the the phones and ring them up on group call so that the bridge would wobble itself to death in a ghastly recollection of the Tacoma Straits Collapse (maybe that was an early mobile phone terror attack, too, with a time machine and everything)?
I somehow suspect that this is a bunch of entrepreneurial but none-too-bright immigrants who found that you can unlock the phones and resell them for more money, which the guys cottoned on to as a money-making scheme. I imagine that their mistake was to get a bit greedy. They may end up rueing the day they walked into that particular Michigan WalMart.

Mel Gibson
So, have you heard the one about the speeding, drunk-driving, anti-Semitic Australian? What peeves me more than his boorishness is the fawning servility he follows it up with, proposing dialogue with Jewish community leaders. Who, I imagine, would (quite rightly) be aghast at the thought of sitting for any length of time in a room with an unreconstructed drunken redneck like Gibson. Nice one, Mel.

Quick Index Board Index Home FAQ Site Map
In ch.17, we are told that "[Anne] had called on her former governess, and had heard from her of there being an old school-fellow in Bath". To my mind, a governess was someone who taught children privately in their own home, but here it sounds like Anne's former governess is also well-acquainted with Mrs. Smith. Was the word "governess" commonly used in JA's time to describe a teacher who (had) taught in a school?
P.S: I like the beginning of ch.17 - I'm just picturing Sir Walter and Elizabeth "assuduously pushing their good fortune"! ;-)

This is probably a silly question, but I thought I'd ask you lovely people anyway. I need to jazz up a wooden photo frame as part of my boyfriend's birthday present (it's destined to become a mini magnetic noticeboard for his new room at uni); unfortunately, I have no funds for wood stain but I do have acrylics to hand. Does anyone know how durable said paint would be on wood, and if I'd need to prep and/or finish it? My gut feeling is that it'll be fine, but I'd hate for it to go all cracked and horrible... Any thoughts?
Recent Topics
Hi Louise Louisa!
You have a very nice idea there,you should publish it if you have the time.
-1st you have to sand the frame smooth&wipe away the dust with a clean,dry clean cloth.NOTE if there are holes in the wood that you want to fill,apply wood filler and leave it to dry properly before you begin sanding.Leave the hole if you think they add to the weathered look.
-2nd now you can paint your frame with two coats of acrylics in the colour of your choice.Leave the paint to dry between coats.
You can use optional a mat laquer to maintain it over the years.
But I think with just 2 coats of paint you will be fine.
!!!!!Good Luck!!!!!

How was Waltz With Bashir received in Israel?
There was no political debate at all. It got a very warm welcome from all parties. The only criticism I got was from the very left wing saying that the film doesn't take enough blame. The right wing hugged it even in really extreme papers — they thought it was a very personal story. I was expecting the worst as usual, but even the Israeli government pays to send us all over the world, because they figure that the film shows Israel as a very tolerant country, at least toward her artists, who are supported by government funds. In France we had more than 500,000 admissions, and our government realized that in France most people didn't know that Israeli troops didn't carry out the massacre. When half a million people go to the cinema they understand that it was worth showing the idea of Israel not at its best, in order to gain some points elsewhere.
Do you worry that people, particularly on the European left, would use the film as a stick with which to beat Israel?
Beat what? I couldn't care less. There's nothing in the film that was not already said. You must understand that after the second Lebanon war in 2006, a lot of soldiers refused to serve, and it was published in the newspapers. Nothing happened. Some of them were treated as ... not heroes, but it was perceived that they saved the lives of other soldiers. There was a very famous event when a young reserve officer refused to go. He said, "I'm not going in with my soldiers, they will die for nothing, they are not prepared." They were thinking of trying him, but they knew that the trial would do so much damage. So my film, released two years later, was nothing compared to reality.
This must have been a period of great turmoil for you. Were you also in therapy?
It's like sitting in front of a shrink and talking. I used to belong to that cult, but I'm out now. I'm not a believer anymore. It's too cheap to just turn it into psychotherapy, into repressed memory. It's not that I went through the experience and then lost my memory. There are missing parts. When I was released from service I did a lot in order to forget. I disconnected my strings with people who were with me. A lot came back during the process of making the movie. It was not awful, because I don't treat it as a nightmare. I was going through major changes throughout those four years. I became 40, and from being single and really free, I became a father of three, and I made this film — everything happened together. I think that one of the reasons I made this film was because I became a father.
What's next?
I optioned a Stanislaw Lem book, The Futurological Congress. I'm going to do it as part animation, part live action, with an American actress in English. It's a big European co-production. It's a very complicated novel, and I want to use the invention we have in Waltz for fiction and see if it works.
You've already broken down the division between fiction and nonfiction in Waltz.
It's about time. 'Cause I think the division is really boring.

mainstay® - Warranty Tracker
The Warranty Tracker allows component warranty statistics to be effectively managed.
Warranty Tracker Features:
- allows warranty information to be managed to an individual component level
- integrates with the Shift Log module to identify warranty claim opportunities
- allows design and management of custom warranty profiles
- provides extensive search and reporting functions for component and equipment warranties
- manages the warranty claim process and claim forms if desired
Module Process Overview

Photographer's Note
A fine little town with the remains of a castle. And next to the castle, Castle House. Part of which has a small military museum. And outside their are several pieces of military equipment.
One of which is this armored bulldozer.
Controlled by only two men sitting back to back.
Even with its huge tonnage it can extract itself from something like a deep ditch, by firing a grappling iron/anchor a hundred meters, then winching itself out. Not to be argued with !

PHOENIX - Will Venable homered and drove in three runs, Robbie Erlin pitched six effective innings in his return to the majors and the San Diego Padres avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.
Venable drove in the first of the Padres' two runs off Wade Miley (9-9) in the first inning and gave them a cushion with a two-run homer in the eighth. Venable has raised his average about 50 points in the last month and a half and is now hitting .390 with eight homers in August and has an eight-game hitting streak.
Jesus Guzman also homered and had two RBIs for the Padres. Erlin (2-2) was sharp after being called up from Triple-A Tucson, holding the Diamondbacks to a run and six hits.
Willie Bloomquist had three hits, drove in a run and made some tough plays at shortstop in his first game off the disabled list for Arizona, which had its five-game home winning streak end.

Making me feel comfortable and in control at every stage.
"I took the 36 hour intensive driving course with Ron Hall and passed first time. I'd never driven before and was quite nervous, but Ron built up my skills in a structured way, making me feel comfortable and in control at every stage and taking me through the syllabus so that I peaked for my test. Ron is a very knowledgeable instructor and always helped me find a solution that worked for me whenever I found something difficult. He knew when he needed to be tough to ensure I really got the hang of something, but also knew when to encourage me and build up my confidence. The 36 hour course is demanding, but the time flew by and by the time I took the test it felt more like a demonstration of what a good driver I am, rather than an examination. I definitely couldn't have got to that point without an excellent instructor, so thanks again to Ron – I'll be back in a couple of months for the Pass Plus!"

"Mahabaleshwar - quite a hideout for a long weekend" Mahabaleshwar by SST
Mahabaleshwar Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 121 photos
The view from Arthur Seat point is quite a grand one...... I found it so similar to the sructure of Grand Canyon, AZ, USA...just that the rocks are not reddish here, its quite yellowish..like natural Indian soil color. You need to be careful while standing at this point as the platform for tourist are not very well built and fencing is not adequate..but if you are a 'junglee' traveller, you must come here ..:-)
They grow strawberries here, one of the very few places in India where it happens. The picture is on top of table land in Panchgani, a local youth selling his strawberry offerings to the thirsty travellers....
Just like all hill stations in South India, you get the soft fresh sweet corns in Mahabaleshwar hill tops. They barbecue it and then add lime juice with salt mixtures, place it in its covers like a boat and give it to you. In the chilly wind its quite deliscious to bite the sweet corns...

The Scraper Mixer Pro BEM800
There are many tricks to baking scrumptious cakes, biscuits, bread and pastries, but one of the most important is thorough mixing.

Not only does it mix ingredients better, but there's now no need to stop and scrape down the bowl with a spatula.

With a 13 hour preset timer, any bread you want to create will be ready and still hot when you wake up. Bake up to three loaf sizes including a 750g, 1kg and 1.25kg family size. you can use the jam blade to create homemade jams and the collapsible kneading blade ensures you get the most out of each slice by folding itself over and minimising the hole created by the blade.

With a large, circular feed tube, automatic pulp ejection, two speeds and an easy clean design, this juicer makes it fast and easy to be healthy.

The moral of the story:
A blog on baking, cooking and the passions of cake decorating
Looks amazing! Can I ask where you purchased the silicon mold from? Struggling to find anything bigger than a few inches :(
ReplyDeleteThis cake looks amazing, well done !!
Just got a couple of questions...
1. where did you get your dowels from and what size were they to put through the horses?
2. How comes the silicone mould kept on giving you broken legs ? what did you do to get perfect looking horses ?
3. im assuming you put the dowel through the horse when it hadn't fully dried ?
Many thanks in advance for your help xxxx
1. the dowels are simple wooden dowels - later covered with a thin layer of fondant
2. thee mould was structured in such a way that when you flexed it to get it out of the mould, the legs were very easily broken - i ended up following the manufacturers instructions by placing the unmoulded fondant in the freezer and unmoulding it when it was firmer.
3. Yes, you have to do this relatively quickly after it comes out of the mould whilst the fondant is still soft.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Winnie for your reply, this has given me a good insight :)
Can i also ask...
1. How did you make the top of the carousel ? Is it made out of cake? If so...what shape pan was used?
2. And lastly....is this the details of the mould by first impressions ? "A227 Mini Fantasy Horse: 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 x 1/2" ?
Thank you so much for your advice & help :)
