Clear Channel to Replace KTLK and San Francisco's Only Commercial Progressive Talk Radio Stations,
Replace Them with More Rightwing Talk
Non-RW listeners in largest and most progressive media markets to be almost completely unserved over our publicly-owned airwaves…
By Brad Friedman, BradBlog.com
12/5/2013, 2:55pm PT
The largest media market in the world is about to lose its only non-Rightwing commercial talk radio station. Los Angeles' KTLK 1150am will be flipped to a far Rightwing station featuring hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and other rightwing talkers. "The changes are set to take effect for the first broadcast of 2014," according to the Los Angeles Times this afternoon.
KTLK is owned by Clear Channel Communications, Inc., the nation's largest owner of radio stations. Clear Channel is now owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital LLC. The talkers mentioned above who will be taking over the previously-progressive station are also syndicated by Clear Channel-owned Premiere Networks, the largest radio syndicator in the nation. The BRAD BLOG has long argued that the outsized control of our public airwaves enjoyed by Clear Channel/Premiere and a handful of other conglomerates — including their ability to leverage our public airwaves (licensed from we, the people, in exchange only for their promise to serve the public interest) to distribute their own syndicator's shows — is a likely violation of U.S. v. Paramount, the 1948 anti-trust Supreme Court decision which found that the major movie studios could not also control the means of distribution by owning the nation's largest theater chains at the same time.
As if ending progressive talk radio in L.A. isn't bad enough, Clear Channel will now also reportedly be flipping its formerly progressive San Francisco talk station KNEW 960am (a move which they had threatened and then partially changed their mind about flipping in late 2011), over to a completely Right-leaning station as well, says the Times. That will leave San Francisco, arguably the most progressive city in the nation, without any commercial progressive talk radio outlet at all. But, as in L.A., listeners will still have many different Right-leaning talks outlets on our public airwaves to choose from, several of them owned by the same major corporation.
In Los Angeles, Clear Channel also owns KFI 640am, the number one station in the market. That station currently runs Limbaugh, along with a host of other Right-leaning local talk shows. KTLK, had once described itself as "Progressive Talk", before changing it's tag line to "L.A.'s Voice" earlier this year. They had already gutted of most of the station's progressive-leaning talk shows over the past several years. The station will now be re-dubbed "The Patriot". The Times reports that "Clear Channel is hoping to pump up [KTLK] as an outlet exclusively dedicated to right-leaning chatter"…
Other than progressive-leaning Pacifica Radio-affiliate KPFK 90.7fm, a community radio station, once Clear Channel flips KTLK to "conservative" talk, Los Angeles will no longer have any non-corporatist talk radio stations over its public airwaves. While both L.A. and San Francisco have several National Public Radio stations, all underwritten by large grants from corporate outlets such as the fossil fuel industry, two of the nation's largest and most progressive metro areas will be almost completely unserved on their publicly-owned airwaves, thanks to the flips now planned by Clear Channel.
KTLK currently carries only two syndicated progressive talk show hosts, Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller (who currently broadcasts from the KTLK studios). Those shows, unless Clear Channel changes its mind, or the shows are picked up elsewhere, will become unavailable to both Los Angeles and San Francisco radio listeners as of January.
Both Clear Channel and Premiere Networks have made similar announcements over the years, before later reversing course. We already noted the Clear Channel flip-flop in 2011 in San Francisco, when their plan to replace all of their progressive shows with rightwingers was changed several weeks later. Instead they added Premiere's Glenn Beck to the morning line-up and moved many of the progressive shows to other parts of the day, airing them on delay.. Back in 2006, Clear Channel had announced they would be flipping their progressive station in Madison, WI, but changed their mind following a petition drive by outraged listeners. Last Month, Premiere had announced they would be ending their syndication of the Randi Rhodes Show at the end of 2013. She is the only progressive talker syndicated by Premiere. Days later, for still unknown reasons, Premiere changed their mind and announced they would continue carrying Rhodes in the new year after all.
On the other hand, Clear Channel has closed down many of their progressive radio stations in most of the nation's major metropolitan markets without changing their mind, leaving radio listeners in the majority of the country completely unserved by anything but corporatist, Rightwing radio over our publicly-owned airwaves.
Disclosure: I do a weekly radio show on Pacifica Radio's KPFK in Los Angeles, and had, for some five years, served as the regular guest host for the Mike Malloy Show, a late-night progressive talk program carried, until this year, by KTLK. While guest hosting his show, I was allowed to broadcast from the KTLK studios inside the Clear Channel building in Burbank. That courtesy arrangement ended after Malloy was dropped from the KTLK line-up in early 2013.

Police chase leads to arrest of man dressed as woman
Man fled vehicle and ran across two cornfields to elude officers
COLUMBUS, Wis. — Columbus police have arrested a Madison man dressed as a woman after a chase by foot across two cornfields.
Derrell Burns, 21, was arrested on probation violation and felony charges of eluding an officer, according to a Columbus Police Department statement.
Police tried to stop Burns' vehicle on Park Avenue in Columbus for suspicious activity, and Burns refused to pull over, the statement said. Police then pursued him out of Columbus and ultimately into the town of Deansville, where Burns fled from his vehicle on foot while it was still moving. The empty vehicle hit a Columbus squad car, causing minor damage and no injuries.
According to the statement, officers chased Burns on foot through two cornfields. They initially thought they were chasing a woman. After enlisting the help of a police K-9, officers took Burns into custody and found he was a man dressed as a woman.
Police do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident.

Sure, I don't have any money, equipment, or real connections, but I have ambition and the will to make it right.

By Jonathan Dent
By the time Geoffrey Chaucer died in 1400, he had been living for almost a year in obscurity in a house in the precincts of Westminster Abbey, and on his death he was buried in a modest grave in the church's south transept. The poet's last few months had not been his happiest. At the close of a decade in which he had gradually retired from the various administrative offices he had occupied under Edward III and Richard II, Richard's deposition by Henry Bolingbroke in September 1399 had turned Chaucer's world upside down. The Complaint of Chaucer to his Purse, which was directed to the new king, makes it clear that his fortunes, which had been in the ascendant for much of Richard's reign, could not now be much worse:
Ye [i.e. the purse] by my lyf, ye be myn hertes stere. life, star
Quene of comfort and of good companye,
Beth hevy ageyn, or elles moot I dye. be, must, die
This story takes a happy twist, though, in the years immediately after Chaucer's burial. A new incarnation of the poet found himself in luxurious circumstances, as likenesses of Chaucer began to pop up in the margins and on the frontispieces of increasingly sumptuous manuscript copies of his own works (especially of the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde), and even, as a tutelary and authorizing presence, alongside the works of his friend and disciple, Thomas Hoccleve.
By 1476 Chaucer's reputation was such that the first printed book in English, issued by William Caxton from his new printing press at Westminster was the first edition of the Canterbury Tales. In 1556, the antiquary Nicholas Brigham paid for the erection of a new tomb for the poet in the Abbey, to which Chaucer's bones were translated, an honour which before the Reformation would have only been accorded to a saint (the perceived anti-monasticism in the poet's works made the Catholic poet surprisingly popular with Protestant reformers). In 1599, the burial nearby of another devoted Chaucerian, Edmund Spenser began the cluster of literary memorials in Westminster Abbey now known as Poets' Corner.
As I'm writing this on the 'tenthe day now of Decembre', the date on which Chaucer chose to set the framing narrative of his poem The House of Fame, it seems like a good time to ask what Chaucer did to ensure that, when most other medieval English writers' work was fading (or even being ignominiously thrust) into obscurity in the Renaissance, his name and fame lived on.
House guest
Never, sith that I was born since
Ne no man elles me beforn, else, before
Mette, I trow stedfastly, dreamed, believe
So wonderful a drem as I
The tenthe day now of Decembre,
The which as I kan now remembre,
I wol yow tellen everydel. every bit
With this impressive boast, the main action of The House of Fame is introduced. The promise to tell his audience everydel of what he claimed to have dreamt was not made good: the poem is unfinished, and breaks off enigmatically after just over 2,000 lines of fantastical action.
After a first book in which the dreamer finds himself in a glass temple to the goddess Venus, he is carried by a talking eagle to the house of the title: a castle or peel constructed entirely of beryl, and set on top of a rock of ice 'Betwixen hevene, erthe, and see', where all the talk of the world comes together. There he sees a grotesque goddess arbitrarily dispensing good and bad fame (or total obscurity) to her petitioners, irrespective of their merits and achievements. When asked if he too has come here to have fame, the dreamer is unequivocal in his denial:
I cam noght hyder, graunt mercy, not, hither
For no such cause, by my hed!
Sufficeth me, as I were ded,
That no wight have my name honde. . . man
For what I drye, or what I thynke, feel
I wil myselven al hyt drynke. all it drink
Naming games
In one respect, Chaucer was as good as his dreamer's word. Only twice in all his works is the poet referred to by name: once as 'Geffrey' by the eagle in The House of Fame, and once as 'Chaucer', by the Man of Law in The Canterbury Tales. This should not, perhaps, be surprising; writers don't often refer to themselves within their work, except as a poetic 'I'. If they did, we'd probably know the names of more of the medieval writers whose works were transmitted in manuscript form, in an age before the title page was invented.
Chaucer, however, is different: perhaps we expect him to name himself more, because he inserts such a vividly fictionalized version of himself (bumbling and tongue-tied, always apparently self-effacing, and ready to be shocked by the lewdness of what goes on around him) into most of his works.
Yet we not only do 'have his name in hand' more than 600 years after his death, we can attach that name not to a single work or manuscript, but to an established canon of 'complete works' that has remained largely stable for most of that time. Chaucer may make only fleeting reference to his own name, but he is less reticent about the titles of his works.
One of the reasons that the core canon of Chaucer's works has remained unchanged for so long, but for a few mistaken attributions and deliberate frauds, is that three separate lists of his writings are embedded within them. The fullest and most important of these, in the 'Retractions' at the end of the Canterbury Tales, takes the form of a request for divine forgiveness for his profane writings, and for the prayers of his audience in acknowledgement of his sacred and moral works:
I biseke yow mekely, for the mercy of God, that ye preye for me that Crist have mercy on me and foryeve me my giltes, and namely of my translacions and enditynges of worldly vanitees, the whiche I revoke in my retracciouns, as is the book of Troilus, the book also of Fame. . . the tales of Caunterbury. . . and many another book, if they were in my remembrance, and many a song and many a leccherous lay.
While the pious sentiments seem genuine enough, it's hard not to see this list, along with the others, as part of the same urge to list and claim a body of work, each time adding to and polishing the table of his achievements, and allowing it to shine more brightly by placing it against the portrait of the barely competent innocent-at-large who narrates most of his poems.
As well as listing his works in this unusual way, Chaucer takes great care to associate his name with the works of the classical poets. The famous apostrophe at the close of Troilus and Criseyde maintains an appearance of modesty, while asserting the right of his poem (the earliest to be described as a tragedy in English) to keep company with the works of the great authors of antiquity:
Go, litel bok, go, litel myn tragedye, book
. . . But litel book, no makyng thow n'envie, literary work, [do] not envy
But subgit be to alle poesye; subject
And kis the steppes where as thow seest pace see
Virgile, Ovide, Omer, Lucan, and Stace. Homer, Statius
A similar, slightly expanded version of this list of classical writers occurs in The House of Fame itself, where the right of the vernacular poet to take his place alongside his Latin predecessors is strongly hinted at in the paraphrase of Virgil's Aeneid that takes up much of the first book, and in the dreamer's repeated assertions that his experiences outstrip those of the most famous visionaries not only of classical literary tradition, but also of the Bible.
In claiming for himself this specifically literary version of Fame, Chaucer seems to come close to humanist ideas about authorship embodied in the works of the Italian writers of the fourteenth century. While Chaucer was certainly not the first English writer to use the work of the classical poets – throughout the Middle Ages, the pagan Latin authors remained an important part of the academic curriculum, and their stories and ideas were frequently recycled – he was one of the first to interact with, and borrow from, the work of the Italian poets Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio.
Chaucer names the first two of this poetic triumvirate frequently in his works, acknowledging his debt to them for individual tales, allowing Petrarch his status as laureat poete, and describing Dante as 'the grete poete of Ytaille'. However, he never mentions Boccaccio by name, although he relies heavily on his Italian near-contemporary's work in two major works, The Knight's Tale andTroilus and Criseyde, and may even have met him in Florence on a diplomatic mission in 1372. In the case of Troilus, Chaucer goes so far as to invent a spurious classical authority — 'Lollius' — as his source. It is as if, having aligned himself with the greatest authors of the past, Chaucer had found a source of poetic inspiration that was practically unknown to his audience, and that he wanted to keep it (and a greater share of the available fame) to himself.
Something else that he may have learned (or caught) from these Italian poets also helped Chaucer helped to align his work with the coming mainstream of European literature, prefiguring the concerns of English Renaissance poets, and ensuring his own continued relevance: his enthusiasm for classical mythology and legend.
Gods and Monsters
This interaction with the classical past was not in itself new in medieval English literature. The story of Troy, its destruction, and the wanderings of its survivors, was particularly popular in England, through the legend that traced the foundation of Britain back to the Trojan Brutus. Chaucer may not have been the first to reuse and recycle this classical material, but he was the first to do so consistently, and with such obvious delight in the details and machinery of Latin and Greek myth and legend.
Chaucer's Thebes and Troy — in common with most medieval depictions of the classical past — may be barely distinguishable in social or material terms from fourteenth-century London and the court of Richard II, but the landscape and universe in which they are set are peopled with creatures and deities alien to earlier English writing. In fact it is in Chaucer that many of the creatures of classical mythology make their first appearance in English. When Criseyde swears her love to Troilus:
On every god celestial. . .
On every nymphe and deite infernal, nymph, deity
On satiry and fawny more and lesse, satyrs, fauns
That halve goddes ben of wildernesse. demigods
Each of these halve goddes seem to be new arrivals in English. Elsewhere, he finds it necessary to import the word monstre from French in order to classify the centaurs, harpies, and the three-headed dog Cerberus encountered by Hercules in his labours, which are recounted (albeit in brief) for the first time in English literature in The Monk's Tale.
While it seems that theatrical and social 'personalities' first came to be called stars in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, it is fitting that the first recorded user of the word 'celebrity', and one of the first to use 'famous' in English should also provide our first evidence for the word starry, and that the dreamer in The House of Fame should be worried that he might be 'stellified' and placed among the stars of the 'Galaxie, Which men clepeth the Milky Way' (another two examples of first recorded use) when the eagle carries him aloft. Would the poet himself have been so alarmed at the prospect of being made a star? Somehow, I doubt it.

Charity event sale at Belk on Saturday
From bling to camouflage, there�s something for everyone at Xpress Yourself.
Grifton native Brenda Sasser opened the gift store with a wide variety of items on April 8 at the Kinston Plaza Shopping Center.
�Everybody that comes in,� she said, �can find something.�
Sasser began designing rhinestone T-shirts and other apparel � even screen-printed T-shirts. She started the business under the same name in a building behind her Grifton home a couple of years ago.
�As it grew,� she said about her home business, �I decided I needed to have a central location so people could see what I have here.�
When the Shoe Connection closed, she jumped on the opportunity to open her shop in the busy retail strip mall. With Hibachi Express and SweetFrog close by, customer traffic has been busy, she said.
Lotti Dotties and Happy Everything plates are popular, but hard to find in this area, Sasser said.
�(Lotti Dotties are) magnetic beads that are interchangeable with bracelets, rings earrings and necklaces,� she said.
Happy Everything large platters and mini plates are home d�cor items that are displayed with attachments that can be changed up for different seasons or special occasions.
Xpress Yourself carries a number of customized and monogrammed items, like T-shirts, acrylic jewelry and hand-painted wine glasses.
There are name-brand T-shirts, including Duck Dynasty and Calcutta, which also carries a line of sunglasses.
The shop features fashionable dresses and tops for the younger set, DaVinci beads, make-up cases and serving dishes made from recycled wine bottles. It also carries collegiate items, ergonomic flip flops � said to help back health and posture � and a wide assortment of tumblers and coffee mugs.
There is a whole section devoted to camouflage hunting items.
Whether it�s a gift for a man, woman, teen or your own use, Sasser�s shop probably has something that will fit.
Xpress Yourself, 2405-B N. Herritage St., is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. For information, call 252-522-1022.

1 I say then , Hath God cast away his people? God forbid . For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew . Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying , 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for ; but the election hath obtained it , and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written , God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see , and ears that they should not hear 😉 unto this day. 9 And David saith , Let their table be made a snare , and a trap , and a stumblingblock , and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened , that they may not see , and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then , Have they stumbled that they should fall ? God forbid : but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy . 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off , and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast , thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off , that I might be graffed in . 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off , and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded , but fear : 21 For if God spared not the natural branches , take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell , severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off . 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in . 26 And so all Israel shall be saved : as it is written , There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer , and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes : but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed , that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy . 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again ? 36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Romans 10
Romans Chapter 10
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Romans 9
Romans 9
9 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body isdead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not,then do we with patience wait for it. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can beagainst us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It isChrist that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound ? 2 God forbid . How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein ? 3 Know ye not , that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed , that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died , he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth , he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin , because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid . 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you . 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called: 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied . 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares , who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance , though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication , and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh , despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said , The Lord rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves . 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead , plucked up by the roots ; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying , Behold , the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed , and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion , making a difference : 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever . Amen.
1 John 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come ; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect , that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is , so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment . He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say , I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen , how can he love God whom he hath not seen ? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Using Expression Trees To Break The Law Of Demeter
string name = order.Customer.Name;
While I do appreciate the idea behind the Law Of Demeter, specifically that individual classes should not know too much about each other; I think the above code would often be perfectly acceptable. Phil Haack has a blogpost going into further details about this: The Law of Demeter Is Not A Dot Counting Excercise, and others agree. I think Martin Fowler explains it best: "I'd prefer to call it the Occasional Useful Suggestion of Demeter".
So, most of us will probably (hopefully) agree, that it is OK to use more than one dot in a statement, when appropiate. One such place might be when doing UI in a ASP .NET application, and one needs to display information about an order and it's details. But here arises a problem, we will need to check each of the expression parts for null to ensure that we do not accidentally cause a NullReferenceException. This leads to ugly code, especially in a data-binding scenario, such as:
<%# order == null ? null : order.Customer == null ? null : order.Customer.Name %>
This question on StackOverflow asks about exactly that, how do we get rid of such explicit and repeated null checking ? It got me thinking, it must be possible to solve this using expression trees. It turns out, it is in fact possible, as I state in my answer on StackOverflow. We can in fact build an extension methods, which looks at an expression tree, evaluates each part of it seperately, checks for null each time, and ultimately returns the correct value; or null if one of the expression parts where null. This is my implementation of such a method:
1: using System;
2: using System.Collections.Generic;
3: using System.Linq.Expressions;
5: namespace dr.IfNotNullOperator.PoC
6: {
7: public static class ObjectExtensions
8: {
9: public static TResult IfNotNull<TArg,TResult>(this TArg arg, Expression<Func<TArg,TResult>> expression)
10: {
11: if (expression == null)
12: throw new ArgumentNullException("expression");
14: if (ReferenceEquals(arg, null))
15: return default(TResult);
17: var stack = new Stack<MemberExpression>();
18: var expr = expression.Body as MemberExpression;
19: while(expr != null)
20: {
21: stack.Push(expr);
22: expr = expr.Expression as MemberExpression;
23: }
25: if (stack.Count == 0 || !(stack.Peek().Expression is ParameterExpression))
26: throw new ApplicationException(String.Format("The expression '{0}' contains unsupported constructs.",
27: expression));
29: object a = arg;
30: while(stack.Count > 0)
31: {
32: expr = stack.Pop();
33: var p = expr.Expression as ParameterExpression;
34: if (p == null)
35: {
36: p = Expression.Parameter(a.GetType(), "x");
37: expr = expr.Update(p);
38: }
39: var lambda = Expression.Lambda(expr, p);
40: Delegate t = lambda.Compile();
41: a = t.DynamicInvoke(a);
42: if (ReferenceEquals(a, null))
43: return default(TResult);
44: }
46: return (TResult)a;
47: }
48: }
49: }
There are some caveats though, in the current version it will only work with simple member access, and it only works on .NET Framework 4, because it uses the MemberExpression.Update method, which is new in v4.
It works by examining the expression tree representing your expression, and evaluating the parts one after the other; each time checking that the result is not null.
I am sure this could be extended so that other expressions than MemberExpression is supported, and I might update it at a later point to support more complicated expressions. Consider this as proof-of-concept code, and please keep in mind that there will be a performance penalty by using it (which will probably not matter in many cases, but don't use it in a tight loop :-) ). I have not done any measurements on the performance yet, and I am also sure that one could make some optimizations to it.
Here is a zip containing the code as well as a few unit tests: IfNotNullExtension.zip.
What do you think about this approach to null checking ? Would you consider this extension method useful (provided that it performs adequately for the scenario) ?

Do these men who post profiles and say that they are widowed, with one child, either an engineer or working for the government really think that any woman with half a brain would fall for their nonsense? I am so tired of having to wade through these liars. It takes away from the real men and women out there trying to make a connection.
If you contact me and I suspect you are a scammer, I will block and report you!
Total posts: 3
I will do the same. I have already (unfortunately) reported 4 different men. I have been on the site only one week. SMH Beware!
I have to say, I was surprised to find that LargeFriends TELLS profile owners about their indescrepancies rather than eliminating their profile. Now, I don't know about you, but I know that my hair is dark brown, and that my eyes are greeen. It's bee this way all my life. However, apparently some rather well-educated men don't know what color their eyes and/or hair are. Really??? I raise a concern when I see it, and block them when I send it.
Ladies, don't fall for this kind of stuff. These guys are either scammers, or they're just not taking this seriously. Either way, it's a path I'm not interested in taking a step down. L
Love yourself first. The rest will come.
Make it hobbie like me i had so much fun with these guys trying to scam me hey pass for my blog there is a post there for read just quick tips enjoy it =)

Stanford still perfect with win over UCLA
Stanford, CA (Sports Network) – Justin Davis scored 21 points and Josh
Childress added 14, leading second-ranked Stanford to a 67-52 victory over
UCLA at Maples Pavilion.
The Cardinal (15-0, 6-0 Pac-10) remained one of only two unbeaten teams in the
country, joining third-ranked Saint Joseph's, and matched the fourth-best
winning streak in school history. The record is 20 straight to start the
2000-01 season.
"Our guys are enjoying the winning streak and getting confidence," said
Stanford head coach Mike Montgomery.
Stanford raced out to a 42-21 lead at halftime and cruised to the easy
victory. Davis finished 10-of-11 from the field and Childress hit 3-of-4 from
three-point range.
Dijon Thompson led UCLA with 15 points and was the only Bruin in double
figures. UCLA (9-5, 5-2) lost its second straight after opening the conference
season with five straight victories.
"It was evident how much stronger Stanford is than us," said UCLA head coach
Ben Howland. "It's a game of strength and size, speed and quickness. They have
all of the above."
A three-pointer by Thompson tied the game at 9-9 just over six minutes into
the game, but Stanford rolled from there.
Davis scored the final five points in a 10-0 run that gave the Cardinal a 19-9
edge. A few minutes later, Stanford embarked on a 19-4 run that virtually put
the game away.
Childress hit a pair of three-pointers during the surge and a bucket by Matt
Haryasz capped it to give the Cardinal a 40-16 cushion with just under two
minutes left in the half.
Stanford shot a blistering 59 percent in the opening 20 minutes and held a
20-9 edge on the boards in taking a 42-21 advantage to the intermission.
"We played hard on defense and well on the offensive glass," said Montgomery.
"It was nice to have a cushion going into the second half."
UCLA tried to make a game of it in the second half, using a string of eight
straight points to pull within 13 at 48-35 with just under 13 minutes to play.
Stanford, though, kept the Bruins at bay and UCLA got only as close as 12,
60-48, on a three-pointer by Thompson with 4:39 left.

WASHINGTON — A new study finds that same-sex couples are treated less favorably than heterosexual couples when seeking information about rental housing advertised online.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development commissioned the national study, the first of its kind.
It finds that gay and lesbian couples are less likely to receive a favorable response to email inquiries about rental properties than straight couples.
Federal housing laws do not bar discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. But 20 states and Washington, D.C., have passed laws that prohibit discrimination against people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says the Obama administration is committed to making sure people are treated the same when searching for a home, regardless of sexual orientation.

Getting some use out of our fresh basil...
This recipe really piqued my interest when I read through the directions and the resulting dish was surprisingly delicious! While you could go ahead and use a white rice and reduce the total cooking time of the recipe, we really enjoy the nutty and fragrant brown jasmine rice - it is worth the extra few minutes it takes to make. Instead of using all water, we cooked the rice in a combination of water and vegetable broth to give the rice an added depth of flavor. The fun begins once the rice has fully cooked and when the recipe takes an unusual route (for us anyway) to complete the dish. While the fluffy rice is still pipping hot, two beaten eggs, a lump of softened butter and a handful of Parmesan are rapidly stirred into the pot - this adds such a creamy rich texture to the rice that is somewhat reminiscent of risotto, but different. Cooked peas, scallions, fresh basil and bright lemon zest are then added - we also tossed in some cubed ham for a bit of additional flavor and to make this dish a little more hearty. Lively and fresh, we showered the rice in a light dusting of fresh grated Parmesan on top for a sharp finish.

Your rice looks fab :) I've not seen brown Jasmine rice before, but it sounds better than regular brown rice, so will have to go and look for it.ReplyDelete
What an interesting recipe Joe!ReplyDelete
Looks awesome, and soooo creamy!!
I will try this one too, I bet my son will like this as he really enjoy dishes with eggs! Plus we all like brown rice, yumm!!
Been meaning to post a comment on your blog for ages now...started reading it about the time my partner and I were splitting - and I was in the process of packing my things to move.ReplyDelete
Trying to get settled in a new place - and have to tell you I am so looking forward to using some of your recipes! They are perfect for one or two people (and I have my 91-year-old mother living with me)! Plus I think making ones own snacks is wonderful...
Thanks for the inspiration! And, good luck on this new move you will be experiencing!
Kelly-jane - it can be sometimes hard to find, but worth it!ReplyDelete
Ana - Yes and it even reheated well, which was a nice benefit!
Sara - I'd love to hear how the recipes come out! Thanks for the luck - I have a feeling we will need it this time!

KOffice 1.6.3 Released
The KOffice team today released the third minor release of the 1.6 series. As the development focus has shifted to the next major release, this new version was aimed at polishing and fixing bugs. With this new version, three new languages are added to the list of translations: Bulgarian, Low Saxon and Nepali. You can read more about it in the full announcement. A full changelog is also available. Currently, you can download binary packages for Kubuntu and openSUSE.
Low Saxon
Unfortunately due to some bugs Kubuntu feisty does not support low saxon. It is certainly not the only quality problem of that KDE distribution.
By Bert at Fri, 2007/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
koffice-l10n isn't in backports yet. I will probably wait until I have admin rights on the archive sometime
What other 'quality' problems do you have?
By Jonathan Riddell at Fri, 2007/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
Lox saxon does not work at all with Kubuntu because there is no nds language pack. So you also cannot configure low saxon as a language. Other problems? Firefox integration is a mess. Blogger.com login does not work with Konqueror. Same problems for Wikidot. Scanning (I have a Canon Lide25) is broken (because of an kernel USB bug), but commandline tools work though, playing midi files does not work. Printer configuration hangs here and then. And of course a certain amount of crashes I was not used to before.
By Bert at Fri, 2007/06/08 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
language-pack-kde-nds-base contains 563 .mo files for Low Saxon, what's the problem with it?
"integration is a mess" doesn't tell me much of use, can you point me at bug numbers?
I've never had any problems with logging in to blogger.com it works fine for me, although browser issues are likely to be upstream issues since it's not something that distributions tend to touch.
If you get me bug numbers for the rest I can point the appropriate people towards them.
By Jonathan Riddell at Sun, 2007/06/10 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
You cannot install
Bug #54581
it says: Please note that you should install language-support-nds
According to
sudo aptitude install language-pack-kde-nds-base
via manual download I found out some mirrors seem to have the package, others not, so I downloaded it manually with firefox.
Firefox 188.8.131.52: when I download a file the option "open containing folder" in the download manager does not work at all. With the previous kubuntu it opened that ugly nautilus with the directory. Should be Konqueror or dolphin of course. when you download a file it is very natural that you want to find out where it was saved. currently the only way is to have a look at the properties, then I find our that firefox saved the nds-support package to my wallpaper folder, so I manually open Konqueror to get to that directory.
Now, the package is manually installed.
Same for language-pack-kde-nds_7.04+20070412_all.deb
I forgot, when I take the Firefox download manager with the deb package and select open as an option it gets opened with Ark. Not really what you want. this time the file was downloaded to the desktop folder.
So now I take the system settings. I select langauge setting. I try to select "add language", but Low saxon does not show up and a option. Interestingly the menu features languages that are already installed.
Then we have that confusing other option "Install new language"- the only reaction I get is that these buttons are now made unselectable.
Now I remember there was a tool called Kcontrol. Interestingly Kubuntu does not support it. hmm.
Anyway, I also try to manually install that language-pack-nds file. I click on the Czech mirror. firefox is so smart to display that binary file in a window. umm, okay so download as last time.
An ugly gnome file dialogue opens on where to save the file. I select desktop. interestingly the naming proposal of the file is lost then. That really sucks. I hate this Gnome shit but Konqui does not render everything correctly. Try again. So I save again to my wallpaper folder. Use dolphin to check into my wallpaper. folder. Again I install the package manually.
Try again system settings. Unfortunately the window is still grey and I cannot select anything. Close it. Open it again. Add language. Still no low saxon.
Next package: language-support-nds.
Oh, hmm, there is no. Okay. I give up.

Re: Low Saxon
You can use Kcontrol in kubuntu, just press alt+F2 en then type: "kcontrol" or "sudo kcontrol" if you need administration rights. But I agree, Firefox integration in kubuntu is a mess, it uses gnome stuff everywhere, but I don't mind as I love konqueror.
By Matthias Logghe at Sun, 2007/06/10 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
It doesn't depend on language-support-nds, but it does Recommend on it which is a bug, I've assigned it to the appropriate person.
However you can still apt-get install language-pack-kde-nds-base without problems, if you have an issue try a different mirror.
I can select Low Saxon in both System Settings and KControl and it works fine.
We are working on a .deb install programme for Gutsy.
Firefox being ugly you need to take up with the appropriate team, we only do KDE here.
By Jonathan Riddell at Tue, 2007/06/12 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
no, you cannot select it, even when the package is installed. Maybe commandlines work. Who knows.
By ben at Wed, 2007/06/13 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
>>"integration is a mess" doesn't tell me much of use, can you point me at bug numbers?
Also, firefox wants to open pdf files with kghostview instead of KPDF.
By patcito at Sun, 2007/06/10 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
What I really find nasty is that Kubuntu tries to restore the previous session and that means when you have opend ten pdf files from the net, it will inform you that these files are not available anymore in the temp-folder. Surprise, surprise!
It is very annoying to close all these messageboxes.
By Wolfram Peters at Mon, 2007/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
That is a bug with firefox or whatever browser you use. Every KDE (and I think Gnome too?) application, including the PDF viewers, is able to open the file directly from the net if given the URL. So there's no need to save it in the temp directory.
By Andrei at Mon, 2007/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: Low Saxon
> Also, firefox wants to open pdf files with kghostview instead of KPDF.
Probably doesn't use xdg-open
xdg-open would open the user's preferred PDF reader as well as open the preferred file manager when trying to view the download target folder.
You could try installing the xdg-utils package manually and then edit the application associations in about:config

"Asia and India"?
In the announcement, Press contacts, it says: "Asia and India". Looks funny. It does NOT say "Europe and Sweden" for example.
By Erik at Mon, 2007/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: "Asia and India"?
Sweden isn't a subcontinent.
By jason at Mon, 2007/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: "Asia and India"?
True, but it's bizarre nonetheless that the continent and a part of it are listed. Asia naturally includes the Indian subcontinent.
By Thiago Macieira at Mon, 2007/06/11 - 5:00am
Re: "Asia and India"?
India isn't a subcontinent but a country. The Indian subcontinent is part of the Asian continent and containts (parts of) the countries Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangla Desh.
Sweden is a country, part of Scandinavia which is all in Europe. So the original remark is perfectly true.

KDict - should be in KDE-Edu
Because KDict is a dictionary (client), it helps in education and KDict is one of the Killer Applications KDE has. So, it should be put in Edu or in Utilities or in Office, anyhow, it should be available with Default KDE installation.
KDict is my 3rd most used application in KDE:
1. KTorrent
I hope KDict will be available in KDE 4.
"kdict -c" is just superb - select a word and run "kdict -c" for an instant dictionary lookup :) //one can have a .desktop file with the above command too!

Stop complaining and telling others what they have to do, and start coding. Sound harsh? Maybe.
By Vide at Tue, 2007/06/12 - 5:00am
Re: KDict - should be in KDE-Edu
KDict IMHO has basically nothing of educational, it's just a simple tool/utility that finds the definitions of words.

The Central Connecticut women's track and field team completed day one of the 2014 NEC Outdoor Championships in fifth place on Saturday in Coraopolis, PA. Junior Ronea Saunders helped lead the Blue Devils with a silver medal in the high jump event for the second-straight season.
Saunders completed the high jump clearing 1.70m, tying LIU Brooklyn's Kyaira Wright-Harmon for the lead but earning second based on missed attempts. The third-year Blue Devil also competed in the long jump for CCSU, finishing seventh with her distance of 5.30m.
The CCSU relay squad claimed the bronze Saturday, completing the race in 9:28.91, collecting six team points. The team consisted of junior Taylor LePage, sophomore Ally Gates and freshmen Jazmin Booker and Brittany Mendelson.
Mendelson also performed well in individual events on the day. The freshman qualified for tomorrow's finals competition in the 1,500m run. She crossed the line second overall, first in her heat, with her time of 4:51.31.
In addition to Mendelson's qualifying time, CCSU turned in four more qualifying performances on the day including two from senior Shelby Tuttle.
Tuttle earned a new career-best time in the 400m hurdles, crossing the finish line in 1:02.54 for fourth place in the preliminaries. She was followed closely in the event by sophomore Alyssa Gonzalez who finished fifth in 1:03.93, good for advancing to tomorrow's finals round.
In the 110m hurdles, Tuttle also placed fourth in the prelims with her time of 14.48 seconds. She was the only Blue Devil to qualify for the finals in the event, though freshman Mellissa Wolliston and Gonzalez both finished ninth and 10th, respectively, just out of the last qualifying spot.
LePage grabbed the last qualifying spot in the 800m run. The junior crossed the line in 2:22.32, good for eighth place.
Junior Shannon McBride helped tally points for CCSU in the 10,000m run. She finished in a time of 39:02.96 for seventh place in her first collegiate appearance in the event.
After day one, Robert Morris is in first with 59 points followed by Sacred Heart (57), Bryant (22), LIU Brooklyn (20) and CCSU (18).
The 2014 NEC Championships will resume tomorrow, Sunday, May 4. The women's events are scheduled to begin with the discus at 9:30 a.m. Fans can follow all of the action live via live stats, follow @NECTrack on Twitter and find all NEC Championship information on the NEC Championship Central page.

If you are in Orlando how can you not visit Disney World?? I was in for the Daytona 500 and had a free night. My goal was to photograph fireworks during the Dreams show at the Magic Kingdom. I had never photographed fireworks…so I set up camp early in the perfect spot waiting for darkness. The sunset had just passed (although it was not too sunny) and the blue hour arrived! I timed my shots as Cinderella's Castle turned different colors. I got off about 4-6 shots of the castle in various colors before it became too dark. Here is a shot with the castle pink. I added a little star trail to give it that Disney effect. Easy to do…its in your brush pallette if you use Adobe Photoshop. I just did a few sizes. Not bad to start the night! Then I awaited the fireworks show…..pics coming soon!!!!
Here is some info from the web: Cinderella Castle is the iconic fairy-tale fortress that serves as the gateway to Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom theme park. It is not only one of the central icons of Walt Disney World Resort, but its romantic beauty has also come to represent all of the Walt Disney Company. The castle is located in the heart of Magic Kingdom theme park—just above the central hub of the Park. Many Guests catch their first glimpse of the castle from Main Street, U.S.A. When you first see the soaring spires, ornate turrets and shimmering moat, you know you've left the world of today and entered a magical new land full of fun and fantasy.
While it may be initially startling to see a medieval castle rising 190 feet into the sky at the end of a street right out of classic small-town America, the dream-like magic of the contrasting images captures the promise of the enchanted adventures awaiting you. Step inside Cinderella Castle, and it's like you're walking into a fairy tale come true. The castle is as beautiful inside as it is on the outside. Inspect an amazingly detailed mosaic mural—including tiles made of real 14-karat gold—and enjoy vignettes from the 1950 Disney animated classic, Cinderella. The mural contains one million pieces of glass in approximately 500 different colors.
Have a magical day!!!

Valparaiso, Chile is a city that's seen both highs and lows. In the eighteenth century, it was a thriving town serving as a major port for ships travelling from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean via the Straits of Magellan. But a serious earthquake in 1906 badly damaged the city's infrastructure. And when the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, eliminating Valparaiso's usefulness as a port, the city fell into long-term decline. It has recently begun to revive, though, after being granted UNESCO World Heritage Site protection in 2003.
Despite the difficult walking conditions, Valparaiso was one of the most beautiful cities I've walked in, the reason being the street art. The city is known for its colourful murals, hundreds of which cover public space throughout the city. Some were personal statements, some were political, and yet others were whimsical (see the ladder and sofa below). But in total they delivered an ongoing sequence of art that meant our afternoon was a constant set of discoveries. Every time we rounded a corner, we hoped to find a new and unusual mural, and we were seldom disappointed.

The biggest swing week in fantasy basketball happened. It totally happened. I went to bed at the end of last week nervous as all get-out that this week wouldn't happen, fell asleep, woke up and BOOM – week two!And it didn't disappoint. Only three of 60 players remained in the same position they were in last week: the two first place teams and the last place squad. Everyone else fluctuated, including Brooklyn Shine who had the steepest dropoff falling from fourth overall to 30th after losing Eric Gordon, Rip Hamilton and Mike Conley. Ballin B' Belated made a titanic surge jumping from 46th to 10th on the wings of key FA pickups MarShon Brooks, Spencer Hawes, and Al Harrington.
Below is a slope graph of this week's movement. All RCL scores and averages are stored on this spreadsheet right here or download the full thing here. All scores and stats count up to and including Wednesday's games (Jan. 4).
Good luck in week three.

Millionaires More Bearish Than Their Advisors
It's a lot easier to be bullish with other people's money than your own.
Still, a recent study shows a surprisingly wide "optimism gap" between millionaires and their financial advisers. According to the study from Charles Schwab, 45% of financial advisers are bullish about the market over the next six months. Only 29% of millionaires (those with $1 million or more in investible assets) are bullish.
Fully 19% of millionaires are bearish – more than the 13% for advisers.
Millionaires are far more likely to believe that inflation will increase over the next six months. They also are more likely to believe that unemployment will increase, the deficit will increase and that the U.S. will experience a double-dip recession.
About 70% of the millionaires said their primary investment strategy was "capital preservation" and that their chief investment goal is generating enough retirement income to last the rest of their lives.
Advisers have a different view of their client goals: They say 50% of their clients seek capital preservation and the other half seek appreciation. The advisers say 64% of clients are looking for retirement income.
What this all means is that wealth advisers aren't as worried about the economy or political environment as their clients. And they don't realize just how conservative their clients want to be.
Why do you think there's an "optimism" gap between advisers and their clients? Is it just about selling them more products or something larger?

The folks at landing page optimization firm Ion Interactive ran a test to see what the best layout was for Thirst of Night, a game where you get to build a new vampire civilization. They posted the results on Ion's blog.
It tested these three layouts on the game's target audience — male hardcore social gamers aged 18-40 — to see which got the most sign-ups.
Page C (the one with the cleavage) resulted in an incredible 95% increase in sign ups over page A and 35% increase over page B (for pay-per-click traffic).
Though the testers expected C to win, they didn't expect such a massive discrepancy.
So, what's all that mean?
Sex sells, but not all the time, explains Roger Dooley at Neuromarketing.
When men see female imagery they become impatient and focus on the short-term. So, the best results are found when offering instant gratification, like a new car you can drive away in right now. Long-term benefits like life insurance don't work well with this method, says Dooley.
In this case, there's a giant "Play Now" button right next to the imagery, and the male user has been perfectly primed to make the purchase. It also helps that the vampire's chest is right next to, and points directly at, that button.
The female image has encouraged him to become short-term oriented, and he wants gratification fast. And there it is — a big, bright red button that promises the reward.

Beating bedwetting
Florida specialist reveals helpful hints for parents
ORLANDO, Fla. – Waking up to wet sheets. It's what happens to up to seven million American kids.
Bedwetting is a normal part of the potty training process, but when it doesn't go away, the worrying begins. Here are some tips to help kids overcome night time incontinence.
There are special concoctions and even alarms to help kids stop wetting the bed.
Pediatric nurse practitioner Penny Noto says, they might work for some kids, and every year another 15 percent outgrow the problem.
"It's absolutely physiologically normal, for a child to wet passed the age of six," said Noto, who's with the Florida Center for Pediatric Urology in Orlando .
But if it continues after age seven, the bedwetting specialist says, there are simple things you can do that could help. First avoid drinks that contain the Horrible C's, such as:
"Things that have caffeine, carbonation, artificial colors, too much citrus or too much calcium. All those things can irritate the bladder and make a child more likely to wet," said Penny Noto.
Replace the Horrible C's with water, cranberry juice, or apple juice. Another 'C' to look out for is constipation.
"It is hugely undertreated and under recognized," Noto stated.
Noto tells us it's an issue in about 50 percent of her cases. When things get backed up she recommends reducing the amount of dairy, white bread and white rice your kids eat. She says try adding, " things with fiber and nuts and seeds and whole grains."
Noto says her tips won't fix the problem overnight, but they have worked for many of her patients.
Noto runs a special clinic to help kids overcome bedwetting. She says if one of the child's parents was a bed wetter the kid has a 40 percent chance of being one. If both parents wet the bed, their child has an 80 percent chance of inheriting the problem.
Additional Information:
BACKGROUND: Soggy sheets and pajamas — and an embarrassed child — are a familiar scene in many homes. But don't despair. Bed-wetting isn't a sign of toilet training gone bad. It's often just a normal part of a child's development. Bed-wetting is also known as nighttime incontinence or nocturnal enuresis. Generally, bed-wetting before age six or seven isn't cause for concern. At this age the child may still be developing nighttime bladder control. If bed-wetting continues, treat the problem with patience and understanding. (Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com)
CAUSES: No one knows for sure what causes bed-wetting, but various factors may play a role, such as:
- A small bladder: A child's bladder may not be developed enough to hold urine produced during the night.
- Inability to recognize a full bladder: If the nerves that control the bladder are slow to mature, a full bladder may not wake the child — especially if the child is a deep sleeper.
- A hormone imbalance: During childhood, some kids don't produce enough anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) to slow nighttime urine production.
- Stress: Stressful events, such as becoming a big brother or sister, starting a new school, or sleeping away from home, may trigger bed-wetting.
(Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com)
RISKS FACTORS: Several factors have been associated with an increased risk of bed-wetting, including:
- Sex: Bed-wetting can affect anyone, but it's twice as common in boys than girls.
- Family History: If both of a child's parents wet the bed as children, their child has an 80 percent chance of wetting the bed too.
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Bed-wetting is more common in children who have ADHD.
(Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com)
TREATMENT: Doing nothing or punishing the child are both common responses to bedwetting. Neither helps. Parents should reassure the child that bedwetting is common and can be helped. Start by making sure that the child goes to the bathroom at normal times during the day and evening and does not hold urine for long periods of time. Also, bedwetting alarms are another method that can be used along with reward systems. The alarms are small and readily available without a prescription at many stores. The alarm wakes the child or parent when the child starts to urinate, so the child can get up and use the bathroom. Alarm training can take several months to work properly, but bedwetting alarms have a high success rate if used consistently. (SOURCE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
