'He was a really good boy'
Relatives describe the 40-year-old as courteous and devoted to his mother. He led a quiet life, collecting maps and cataloguing the countries of the world - including the one in which he died
By Doug SAUNDERS, Compiled by Rick CASH, Page A1
Pieszyce, Poland -- During his 40 years of life here in the sleepy towns of western Poland, Robert DZIEKANSKI developed the hobby of collecting maps and cataloguing information about the countries of the world. He had a special fondness for Canada.
His closest relatives, in their first interview with the news media, portrayed him yesterday as a big, gentle man who, aside from his cartographic hobby, saw his main social connection and closest friend as his mother. His aunt and uncle remembered a courteous man who had an only child's devotion to his mother, and a life that was in some ways lonely and solitary, but also well organized and happy.
So it was especially heart-wrenching for the family here to learn that Mr. DZIEKANSKI, on his first trip abroad, died after being tasered by Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers at Vancouver International Airport, where he had been held up for 10 hours while trying to find his mother.
"He was a really good boy, really interested in geography and the countries of the world, that was his hobby," said Zdzislaw DZIEKANSKI, 52, his mother's younger brother. "He thought about that, and he thought about his mother."
The scenes of Mr. DZIEKANSKI flailing and screaming in desperation seem incomprehensible to these relatives. They say he did not have a short temper and had given no indication that he would react in such a way to a difficult and confusing situation.
"His mother really looked after him; he was really well cared for," his uncle said. "He wasn't any kind of a hooligan or anything like that. He was calm and peaceful."
Mr. DZIEKANSKI had been coming to meet his mother, Zofia Helena CISOWSKI, and her Polish-Canadian husband of eight years to start a new life.
"He wanted to get back to his mother. That was all he wanted," said Teresa DZIEKANSKI, Robert's▲ aunt, who explained that his mother had launched a cleaning business and Robert was eager to join her. "The real dream for him was to be with his mother. Everything else would just come naturally."
As the DZIEKANSKIs spoke yesterday afternoon, the phone rang. It was Robert's mother, calling from Kamloops at 4 o'clock in the morning. She couldn't sleep, tortured by thoughts of her son. Despite warnings from relatives, she had seen some of the amateur video that shows him dying in pain and confusion. Leaked onto the Internet, the footage has sent waves of outrage around the world.
"How could they [kill] the only one who mattered to me?" she asked from Kamloops, in Polish. "He was the precious one. He was my beloved son."
In 1967, when Robert was still a baby, Ms. DZIEKANSKI found herself alone with her son; family members declined to discuss the circumstances behind the father's absence.
"The father had vanished, so the mother had brought him up alone, from babyhood. It was tough, but everyone managed," Zdzislaw DZIEKANSKI said. "They became really close, like best Friends, the way only children sometimes do. They really loved each other and spent all their time together."
The uncle, although only a dozen years older than his nephew, developed something of a fatherly relationship with Robert. "He was more than just a nephew to me. I was 12 when I first held him in my arms, and from then, he always felt like a son to me."
Robert did reasonably well in school, especially in geography. He and his mother moved to Gliwice, about 200 kilometres from here, but stayed close to the family in Pieszyce. During Poland's final Communist years, in the late 1980s, he worked as a typesetter. Then he found work in the coal mines. The last two years, he had been unemployed, collecting state benefits.
Eight years ago, his mother fell in love with a Polish-born man who had set down roots in Canada. She married and moved to Canada, hoping to pave the way for her son to immigrate.
He lived alone in a flat in Gliwice, but saw the family frequently. He had never married, and his relatives say they don't know of any serious relationships with women. "There was a lady who cleaned the flat, washed his clothes and so on, a maid. But no other women around him. He would stay at home, not go out at night."
But, while he lived the life of a loner, he was far from disengaged. His relatives say that he was a warm and eager participant in family gatherings, and that he was especially meticulous in keeping his apartment organized and maintaining his map collection. "He was a really thoughtful man," said his aunt. "He always remembered the holidays -- Easter, name days -- he would always send some nice cards, decorated in his special style."
While he had never strayed far from his birthplace, his family were no strangers to the difficulties of migration. They had originally lived in the far east of what was then Poland, until Joseph Stalin expelled the ethnic Poles from the land after the war, claiming the region for Ukraine. They were forced to march across the country to the western region of Silesia, a former German province that had been awarded to Poland as a war reparation, its German residents evicted.
So Robert's grandfather, a shopkeeper, made an awkward start here, keeping the family going in small rented apartments. The post-Communist years were difficult for the family, but they held together. Now they are watching as the town, with a population of 10,000, loses its youngest generation in another great migration, this one to Britain, Ireland and North America. A surprising number of people here have moved to Nottingham, England.
The DZIEKANSKIs are the only ones they know who have attempted a move to Canada. Zdzislaw DZIEKANSKI, who is skilled in a number of home-building trades, knows that his skills would put him in demand abroad, as would his wife's experience working for medical clinics.
Teresa DZIEKANSKI reacted with alarm to this suggestion.
"We can't even think of moving to another country, Zdzislaw," she said. "I couldn't do it, after learning what can happen to people."
The fateful trip
Pieszyce, Poland, 3 a.m.
Robert DZIEKANSKI's journey to Canada began in Poland at about 3 a.m. on October 13, when he left his hometown of Pieszyce for a flight to Germany.
Frankfurt, 12: 15 p.m.
He met a connecting flight on Air Condor departing Frankfurt International Airport at 12: 15 p.m. for Vancouver. The 40-year-old construction worker, who spoke no English and had never travelled on an airplane before, was emigrating to Canada to join his mother, Zofia CISOWSKI, 61, who lives in Kamloops.
Vancouver, 3 p.m.
Mr. DZIEKANSKI's direct flight from Europe arrived at Vancouver International Airport about 3 p.m. His mother, who has been in Canada about seven years, had arranged to meet him at the baggage carousel in the international terminal, unaware that this was inside a secure area. Outside, in the public area, his mother spent nearly six hours pacing the corridors, and, in broken English, asking airport officials for help in locating her son. At about 10 p.m. she left after being told her son wasn't there. She made the five-hour drive home, only to find a phone message waiting, saying her son had been found.
Vancouver, 10: 30 p.m.
Mr. DZIEKANSKI passed through initial customs screening about one hour after his flight had arrived from Germany, but then spent almost 6½ hours in the baggage-claim area. At 10: 30 p.m. airport officials helped him find his luggage. Two hours later, he had passed through immigration and exited the secure area of the airport. He then tried to re-enter the controlled area, eventually succeeding, but growing increasingly frustrated and eventually becoming frantic.

Is Darth Maul getting too big for his britches--er, mechanical leg warmers--in the next episode of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars?"
In "The Lawless," airing at 8:30 a.m. CT Feb. 2 on Cartoon Network, Maul declares himself the true Sith Lord, a claim that will not go unanswered. As you can see in the clip above, Maul's master, Darth Sidious, shows up in the flesh to show Maul who is the true boss.
The red guy also uses Duchess Satine as bait in a nefarious plot to trap Obi-Wan Kenobi--yes, he's after Obi-Wan again. Never one to ignore a damsel in distress, Obi-Wan falls for it and attempts to rescue Satine, as you can see in the sneak peak below.
Here's some trivia about "The Lawless" from Lucasfilm:
- This episode marks the first appearance of Darth Sidious as anything but a hologram.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi is wearing his Rako Hardeen disguise (from Season 4's "Deception" arc) when he arrives on Mandalore.
- The much battered Twilight now sports a cartoonish illustration of Anakin as a boy Podracer pilot, with Aurebesh text that says "WIZARD!!!" The Twilight has not been seen since Season 2's "Children of the Force."
Lucasfilm says that the episode will change the show forever and plans to mark the occasion with The Clone Wars Google Hangout--the first ever official Star Wars Google Hangout- taking place 12:30 p.m. CT Saturday and featuring "Clone Wars" supervising director Dave Filoni and voice talent Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano) and Sam Witwer (Darth Maul). Fans can ask questions and get an exclusive first look at next week's installment of "The Clone Wars," titled "Sabotage," along with other surprises.
Fans with Google+ profiles can RSVP for the event now; hashtag #CloneWarsHangout will be used to ask questions and interact live during the Hangout. Lucasfilm's own Pablo Hidalgo and hollywood.com's Christian Blauvelt will moderate the discussion, and a live stream of the event will be open to everyone at youtube.com/starwars.PAST SWCW EPS

They started publishing games from other companies in 1988, but it wasn't until 1993 that they managed another hit, and started the "Descent" series, first produced by Parallax Software. Starting in 1992, they were noted for pumping out a few Star Trek games, and in 1997 they released Fallout and MDK , followed by Baldur's Gate in 1998. Although the games were successful Interplay continued to bleed money and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Interplay went public that same year in order to avoid bankruptcy and pay off debt. The name of the company was changed to "Interplay Entertainment Corp". Interplay Entertainment Corp continued to publish outstanding games but at the same time bleed money. In a bid to shore up the companies finances they struck a deal with French company Titus Interactive for financing in return for stock and stock options. Unfortunately losses mounted and control of the company went to Titus Interactive.
Interplay, under control of Titus installed a new president, Hervé Caen. Fargo stayed on for a while as company chairman. Several years later Titus was starting to get into financial and legal trouble and eventually had to close business in 2004. Since his installment as president, Caen had tried to shift the company's attention towards console games, an area where the company had never had much success. They missed the 2002 Christmas season, making Interplay's already precarious position desperate.
Interplay was evicted by its landlord for not paying rent on the very day that Titus quit business, and most of the remaining staff had to leave because they weren't getting paid. Hervé and a few others relocated to another office, trying to get the company going again by selling off their various assets, but its various debts were simply too staggering. They licensed the rights to
Womens Pantalone Denim Slim Jeans Gaudì iDryCSLHi
to Bethesda Softworks.
On November 29, 2006, Interplay was served with an involuntary bankruptcy order. The following day, Interplay filed a SEC form, stating their intent to seek European funding for a Fallout MMOG project. The form notes their intent to begin development in January 2007.
Interplay's 1997 logo and motto "By Gamers For Gamers"
In November 2006, Interplay, still headed by Hervé Caen, filed a Form 8-K filing to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding a potential Fallout massively multiplayer online game.
In April 2007,

, the developer of 125MM Corda sneakers White Buscemi d1iBJtft1K
, purchased full rights to the Fallout IP for $5.75 million USD. While Bethesda now owned the rights to the Fallout MMO IP, clauses in the purchase agreement state allowed Interplay to license the rights to the development of the MMO. [2] Specific requirements were stated in the agreement that if not met, Interplay would immediately lose and forfeit its license rights for Fallout. Development must have begun within 24 months of the date of the agreement (April 4, 2007), and Interplay must have secured $30 million within that time frame or forfeit its rights to license. Interplay would furthermore need to launch the MMOG within 4 years of the beginning of development, and pay Bethesda 12 percent of sales and subscription fees for the use of the IP.

i-House has some incredible news that we would like to announce to those investors, community users and media who have continually supported the ATO project in Japan.
i-House has received compliance documents from well-known U.S. law firms saying that it will meet the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and securities laws regarding utility tokens. At the same time, this will quicken the pace of i-House's entry into the U.S. market and getting listed on other exchanges.
As the world's first real estate blockchain application, i-House has utilized their advanced technology, investment background, and a strong team and platform to get listed on a number of mainstream exchanges in one month only. Through the release of the IHTPay, a digital payment method, and the entrance into the Japanese real estate industry, i-House had the first user who purchased Japanese real estate using the IHTPay payment tool in a short period of time. Apart from this, the new concept ATO project presales has been unprecedentedly hot. It is because of these achievements that i-House has the qualifications to meet SEC regulations as well as interrelated securities laws on utility tokens.
Using i-House's first ATO project as an example, local U.S. users can freely transact in this project by holding IHT. Of course, for those local ATO projects launched in the US, no matter if you run the platform or project, or are a local user or a user from another country, your use of i-House to conduct free transactions is permitted and protected.
The U.S. is an economic powerhouse, no matter if it is flowing abroad or attracting to within, the economy has great strength. Utilizing this juncture point, i-House will continue to actively negotiate with numerous local cooperative partners at full speed ahead. i-House will take their brand new ATO concept and apply it to more real estate development and management, thus being able to inject more vitality into the U.S. real estate industry and tourism market. This will allow an increasing number of partners and users to receive benefits from blockchain technology and the platform.
This recent news has further increased i-House's influence internationally and in the blockchain industry. i-House will certainly become the leader in this field as they continue to expand to an increasing number of countries, where they can create more value for the industry and market.

Brendan Rodgers believes his side must improve their consistency and become more clinical in front of goal if they are to keep their slim Champions League qualification chances alive, with just four wins in 10 games leaving Liverpool in 12th place in the Premier League.
The Anfield club have only been beaten once in their last 10, but they have failed to achieve enough wins in that time, picking up five draws along the way, with Rodgers feeling that they should have turned many of those games into victories.
"We managed to go eight games unbeaten in the league and the draws we had could very easily have been turned into victories," Rodgers told reporters.
"If you're going to challenge at the top end, you always have to be striving for that level of consistency. In fairness to the players, their consistency and the level of their work every day has been brilliant."
Rodgers wants more from his players though, and Sunday's game against West Ham is a key fixture for the Northern Irishman and his players, where three points will lift them into the top 10 in the Premier League, but Rodgers knows it will be a stern test for the players.
"We know West Ham will be a tough game," he said. "They got a fantastic result in their last game against Chelsea and Sam Allardyce has done very, very well in getting them promoted. He's made them difficult to beat but we'll arrive at West Ham with great confidence."
The Liverpool boss is adamant that his side can improve over the course of the season though and become a force to be reckoned with once again in the top flight.
"We're blooding a lot of young players into the group and we're asking them to do men's jobs at this level. Sometimes that breeds inconsistency," he added.
"But it's something we're improving on and if we go to West Ham and get a good result, that will keep us moving in the right direction. The most important thing is that we are winning games.
"I believe that, as the season goes on, we'll become more clinical and see improvements in our finishing at the top end of the field."

Worried you missed out on Wall Street's big rally? Travel stocks, particularly airlines and hotels, tend to follow the market's lead on a one-to-two quarter delay, according to a report by the Global Business Travel Association.
Continue Reading Below
When broader indices like the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average set fresh highs, corporate travel spending ticks higher. It's a trend that could send travel stocks like Marriott International (NYSE:MAR) and Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) into uncharted territory should the market improve.
"As businesses get more confident, hotels will have higher occupancy rates, airlines will have higher load factors and those companies in the travel space are going to perform better," said Joe Bates, vice president of research at the Global Business Travel Association, the industry's largest trade group.
The GBTA's BTI index, a proprietary index of business travel activity, typically trails market gains and losses by one to two quarters. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average has had a shaky week, sliding nearly 300 points between Tuesday and Wednesday, it remains up close to 14%, or more than 1,800 points, on the year.
"Usually the market does a pretty good job of 'guestimating' what's going to happen to the economy in general and in this case business travel in particular," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at S&P Capital IQ.
Travel spend is expected to rise 5.1% this year to $268.5 billion, according to the travel association's latest quarterly report. That outlook was upgraded from $266.7 billion in the prior quarter and it could be revised higher still when the GBTA unleashes its next report in July.
"Business confidence is up and the need to compete in the global economy is driving companies to invest in business travel," GBTA Chief Operating Officer Michael McCormick said in a statement.
The GBTA says job development is on the rise in industries that tend to require more business travel such as business services, finance, and utilities, which has been a contributor to the increase in travel spend. Its index also claims to be an indicator of U.S. employment data, leading hiring trends on average by a quarter.
Many booking and hotel stocks like Priceline.com (NASDAQ:PCLN), Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN), Marriott and Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) have been on the upswing. Collectively, those four stocks are up on average 20% since the beginning of January.
Shares of online travel company Orbitz Worldwide (NYSE:OWW) are up 180% so far this year, an indication of robust growth in its hotel business, which grew 27% last quarter as volume increased and customers bought more expensive rooms.
"What companies are doing to improve their situation is selling," Bates said. "And they have to get travelers on the road to do that selling."
Airlines, meanwhile, have been experiencing their own rally, a reflection of the broader travel recovery as well as the benefit of an industry-wide consolidation. Shares of the two largest U.S. airlines, Delta and UnitedContinental (NYSE:UAL), are up a whopping 48% and 34%, respectively, since January.
"What really drives the P&L of these companies is corporate travel," said Sterne Agee managing director Jeff Kauffman in an interview with FOX Business last month. "It is companies hiring business travelers, and those business travelers paying the $400, $500 or $600 fares to travel."
If the GBTA outlook is any indication, the rally of those stocks is far from over.
The travel association sees continued gains through the remainder of this year if the market maintains its upward trajectory. If it starts to falter as it has this week, the momentum in the travel industry should continue at least through the remainder of the summer, Bates said.
The broader indices are investors' "best estimates as to what's going to happen to the economy and corporate earnings," Stovall said. "If it's trending higher, it usually can be inferred that inventors are expecting better economic news in the quarters ahead."

This time of year, a good brunch goes a long way. There's the post-holiday-gift-shopping brunch. The visiting-with-relatives brunch. And of course, the brunch with out-of-town friends, during which way too many mimosas are consumed. Whatever the reason for brunching, a handful of restaurants have new options on the table.
In River North, Red Violet is serving up a taste of the Far East. Billing itself as a "modern Chinese" restaurant, it opened in February on a restaurant-heavy stretch of Hubbard Street. Maybe it was the stuck-in-2003 martini list or the interpretation that "modern Chinese" meant "put caviar or truffle oil on everything," but it just wasn't drawing the same crowds as other hot spots on the block. A summer menu revamp from consulting chef Gene Kato (Japonais) and a $20 prix-fixe brunch for two added last month are recent attempts to recruit regulars.
In Wicker Park, chef Mark Steuer is serving southern comforts in the form of Lowcountry cuisine at Carriage House. His steamy she-crab soup proved the perfect rainy day warm-up when the restaurant opened for dinner service in September, so I was curious to see if his brand-new brunch would have the same effect. I checked out both spots to see which is worth your brunch bucks.
Red Violet
121 W. Hubbard St. 312-828-0222
Brunch times: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
Rating: 2.5 (out of 4) Take it or leave it
Sights: Once you size up what's included on the $20 brunch-for-two menu, it's tough to give the a la carte menu a second look. The price includes a little mixed green salad, pot stickers, taro fries and bamboo steamer of dim sum. And that's not $20 per person—I'm talking about $20 total. The zesty citrus-carrot dressing on the salad and crispy pot stickers stuffed with beef and pork were definitely the highlight for me. On the other hand, taro root doesn't make for the best fries (though the black garlic-miso dipping sauce on the side is borderline addictive) and, with the exception of the shrimp shu mai, the dim sum were somewhat forgettable.
Sounds: The occasional swish of the kitchen door and the conversation at our own table. This is a huge restaurant with not many people in it. Walking through the ghost town that is the basement lounge to get to the restroom was especially eerie.
Sips: One lychee mimosa or cucumber bloody mary per person is included in this prix-fixe deal. Neither are revelatory, but considering two cocktails alone typically would run you $20 in this part of town, the value is impressive.
Bottom line: There's no denying that this is a crazy good deal. If a bustling scene is what you enjoy about brunch, you won't find that here; however, if there isn't much left in your wallet after a day of Mag Mile holiday shopping, it'll do the job.
Carriage House
1700 W. Division St. 773-384-9700
Brunch times: 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
Rating: 3 (out of 4) Off to a good start
Sights: The number of orders of beignets coming through the kitchen pass was all the encouragement I needed to add an order ($8) to my meal. These piping-hot beauties arrive cloaked in powdered sugar with a side of coffee froth-topped fudge for dunking—kind of like dipping them in your coffee mug, but way better. I earned an embarrassed look from my date as I scattered sugar all over the tabletop—and onto the scarf draped around my neck for good measure. On the savory side, chef Mark Steuer's shrimp and grits ($14) weren't just lick-the-plate good, but rather steal-the-plate-back-from-my-date good. I'm still thinking about how the supremely creamy grits, plump shrimp and bits of smoky tasso ham all came together to add up to one of the best dishes I've had all year. I can't say the same for the smoked grouper ($12), which devolved into an unsightly mess of wet greens, juicy grapefruit and horseradish vinaigrette soaking the at-first crispy fried fish.
Sounds: The icy swish of beverage director Michael Simon shaking cocktails at the bar, the chatter of 20-somethings catching up with their parents over skillets of cornbread ($7) and the hushed voices of 30-somethings appeasing their highchair-perched kiddos in between bites of fried chicken and malted waffle ($11).
Sips: Most tables were filled with Carriage House's signature bloody marys ($8) or mimosas, the latter made with the champagne of beers (that's Miller High Life) instead of bubbly, plus bourbon for an extra kick ($9). The choice is yours, but I think you're missing out if you don't try the Delicious Sour ($9), a peachy, apple-y cocktail with a layer of frothy egg white lingering on top.
Bottom line: Carriage House's classy but casual white-washed dining room and Steuer's comforting brunch fare would please friends and family alike. Soul-warming dishes feel especially appropriate in the winter, but the prospect of brunch on the front patio already has me pretty psyched for spring.
1450 W. Chicago Ave. 312-348-1028
Eat: Biscuits and duck confit gravy ($12), poutine with fried eggs and pickled peppers ($10)
Drink: Spicy bloody marys with pepper vodka from Seattle craft distillery Oola ($10), coffee from local roastery Big Shoulders ($3-$6)
Brunch times: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday
Slurping Turtle
116 W. Hubbard St. 312-464-0466
Eat: Design-your-own bento boxes with sashimi, edamame, tempura and grilled meats ($16-$20)
Drink: Pickle- and olive-garnished bloody marys or flutes of champagne, kir royales or mimosas (all $10)
Brunch times: 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sunday
GT Fish & Oyster
531 N. Wells St. 312-929-3501

Brunch times: 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
65 E. Adams St. 312-786-9911
Eat: Prosciutto and brie eggs Benedict ($15), potato pancake with apple-horseradish relish ($14)
Drink: Prosecco cocktails such as the ginger- and apple-flavored Mele Spritz or the Rosa with rose water and elderflower liqueur
Brunch times: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
1834 W. Montrose Ave. 773-334-5664
Eat: Cinnamon-banana-caramel French toast ($8), vegetarian croque madame with brie, onion and spinach ($8)
Drink: Mimosas made with fresh-squeezed OJ and house-made bloody marys ($5)

Over the past few years since Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) made its troubling international debut, the buzz over bees has waxed and waned. A new film, Queen of the Sun, from director Taggart Siegel (who also directed The Real Dirt on Farmer John), deals with the subject in a direct but endearing way, featuring fascinating biodynamic and organic beekeepers around the globe. The sad story of our lost relationship with the bees unfurls, but all is not lost – yet—and so we are presented with ways to fix it, for us and for them.
The specific cause of the global bee crisis, first noticed in 2006, is still technically unknown. Currently, there is no single proven cause but rather several viable hypotheses, and it's possible that it could be a combination of these factors. Genetically modified plants are said to be confusing the honeybees. Monocultures - acres and acres of a single crop that require migratory pollination - are also blamed. (Imagine, for a moment, the stress of a migratory bee.) In the film, sustainable food luminary Michael Pollan discusses the vast almond orchards of California's Central Valley (which we know suck up a lot of water and that's not native to the area, either) requires large scale pollination every February. In addition to Pollan, other bigwigs of the sustainable food world, like Carlo Petrini, Founder of Slow Food International and physicist and environmental activist Vandana Shiva weigh in as well, both pointing to pesticides as the cause of the honeybee die-off.
In the end, Queen of the Sun alludes to the notion that if we are to overcome this crisis, we must work together, like a colony of bees.
The film travels the globe and features beekeepers from France, England, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and the United States. Rooftop beekeepers in both Portland, Oregon and New York City are highlighted. Our personal hometown heroes of legalized beekeeping in New York City, Jacquie Berger of Just Food and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer were featured. Because of these hardworking folks, beekeeping is now legal in New York City, which was unfortunately overlooked in the film, perhaps because of the timing. Our New Yorkers still serve as a great contrast to the rural biodynamic beekeepers, proving that beekeeping can be done responsibly in any environment.
While Queen of the Sun deals with a serious subject matter, it features warm, fascinating people, which adds a welcomed lightness to the film. Personally, I admired the close relationship between the beekeepers and their bees. I think we tend to be naturally afraid of bees, making it easy to overlook their vital role. The opening scene of Queen of the Sun shows a woman dancing in a field, her chest covered with bees, which made me cringe at first glance, but I soon became transfixed by her calm nature and obvious love for these creatures.
The beekeepers featured in the film all have strong relationships with their bees, not unlike a farmer would have with chickens, goats or sheep. Yvon Achard, beekeeeper and bee Historian from Grenoble, France was my personal favorite. At one point in the film, while discussing his love for bees procedes to brush the honeycomb of bees with his mustache, soothing them and showing love.
In the end, Queen of the Sun alludes to the notion that if we are to overcome this crisis, we must work together, like a colony of bees. I highly recommend Queen of the Sun, premiering in cities across the country. The film officially opened this past spring and screenings are being hosted all over the US through October. Click hereto see if it's in a theater near you. If you're interested in taking action to help save the bees, here's how you can get involved.

Activation Frustration? Not With Linux!
Yesterday's blog post illicited this comment from an anonymous reader:
"And don't forget... No product activation!
"I was on my way from New York to Germany. When I arrived in my room, Vista informed me my PC needed activation and would only work for the next day (can't remember the exact message). I don't know what triggered this message, as everything worked fine, and Windows was activated months before. Because I was on a business trip for the next 2 weeks, I could not get my laptop working until I arrived back home. Luckily we were able to transfer my importation documents that evening. What a mess!
"Because of this, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER MS PRODUCT! "
My nephew had a similar experience with his friend's desktop. Although the laptop had Windows Genuine Advantage and was properly and legally activated, the system locked out the user. He called Microsoft only to get an automated messaging system. When he entered the activation code, he was told that the copy of Windows was not legitimate and the technical assistance recording hung up.
Sometimes, you need to be a wizard or magician in order to open Windows and get it to work!
If you want to avoid this kind of hassle, simply get Linux.
With Linux, you'll have a free, open source system that will never ask for an activation code or lock you out. You'll have a wonderful desktop environment with thousands of programs and a welcoming and friendly community of users who will help you get up and running.
And none of those folks is a recording.
Get Linux.

This post made me laugh. Last weekend I setup Win7 on my wife's work laptop and her netbook (unbelievably, her company writes scripts only for IE6 and MSOffice). The task took several hours nonetheless.
About midway through the upgrade, my wife finally shut me up with a "All right, all right already!" after I went on and on about how simple and fast it is to install or upgrade a Linux machine and how much faster her netbook would be with a distro like Ubuntu Remix. Hilarious!
With Linux, you don't suffer from proprietary limitations and headaches. There is:
-- No activation
-- No validation
-- No serial numbers
-- No license numbers
-- No product IDs
-- No inevitable support call
-- No forced automatic updates
-- No cost to upgrade (I can upgrade via USB or even network)
-- No cost! (you always get the full version)
-- No "family licenses"
-- No redistribution restrictions (I can share!)
I could go on, but I don't envy my Windows friends this month.

You are right but you can't say that Windows is crap!I've used Windows since 2002 till 2008 when I've installed Ubuntu. I have now dual boot an I'm a very big fan of Linux. The problem is for me now that after upgrade to 9.10 my laptop is blocking/restarting very often in Linux.
Now I'm writing from WindowsXP because it's seems that here is OK for now and the system is stable. I will be back in linux after will appear a new kernel, maybe it will work for me.
When Linux it's making problems you can relay in Windows.
And this is telling a VERY BIG LINUX FAN but a newbie.
Have a nice day!

The point is, Windows is restrictive and closed. Linux is free (as in 'Freedom")and open.
Regarding your problem with Ubuntu, you may ant to read this:
Yo may want to consider PCLinuxOS. I use it and it's terrific!:)
- November 5, 2009 at 3:39 PM
- MSzorady said...
All great points! as I've pointe dout, I run PCLinuxOS. I use their PASS service and have the latest and greatest in updates. Howeer, you're correct. I f I so choose, I can simply instlall all the software I need, and then just keep it status quo. No one is going to hound me to update anything.
- November 5, 2009 at 3:42 PM
PCLinuxOS has long been a great distro. It's the only distro other than Fedora that consistently supports more older and newer hardware than any other.
- November 6, 2009 at 2:33 AM
- Phil Wadsworth said...
I have been using PCLinuxOS for exactly a year now and it has NEVER crashed. I borked it myself once when I updated from two repositories at the same time ( Yeah....I know......I was a real dimwit) but I restored the entire system and all my apps in 25 mins from a LiveCd I had made. Try doing that in Windows!.
I still need to run Windows as a special Genealogical application I have will not run in Wine and I can't do without Adobe Acrobat 9.0. However i've discovered the joys of Virtualbox and have installed Windows in it plus my essential Windows applications. It now only takes me 20 seconds to boot into a fully functional Windows if I need it !.
Life is really much better with Linux and PCLinuxOS in particular.
- November 6, 2009 at 12:24 PM
- MSzorady said...
Yes, I love PCLinuxOS. It quickly became my distro of choice. One of the big reasons is the community. Very friendly and helpful!:)
I've also borked my PCLinuxOS system. And, like you, it was my fault. but, I was amazed at how easy it was to restore things and get everything back up and running! I'm glad you pointed this out. It'll make a great blog post! Thanks to both you guys.:)

@VasiaUVI, Ubuntu is Linux but not all Linux is Ubuntu.
Alas, Ubuntu isn't doing a great job to Linux lately.

In an updated Chronicle story on Brandon Lyon, we see just how extensive his biceps injury is:
The problems, Lyon said, have persisted for about a year and a half. He said he has reached the point where he subconsciously does things left-handed that he normally would have done right-handed to avoid pain.
I can relate. The problems with my English have become so dire that I subconsciously began speaking in French. C'est la vie.

Too bad Lyon didn't do the same thing on the mound. He might have been more effective.
It has been done. Greg Harris, Randy Savage(minors in the 70s), Pat Venditte(minors now), Ryan Perez(HS).
If you're going to "try to be a hero"(as Wade said), at least be smart about it. Or just have the surgery you should have had a year ago.

The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning office held a workshop Tuesday evening to gather input from the community about "Envision Jefferson 2035," the comprehensive plan for Jefferson County.
During the nearly three-hour workshop held at the Community Club (War Memorial Building,) nearly 60 people broke up into in 9 groups to discuss what Planning and Zoning Office Director Jennifer Brockman called, preferred growth areas" in Jefferson County.
"Tonight's meeting were talking about where we want growth to occur," she said.
"Where do we think it's appropriate for high intensity uses and why is that appropriate?" she asked the group.
As part of what has been a series of workshops, community members were introduced to the first draft of "Envision Jefferson 2035's" goals and objectives.
The first goal outlined by Planning and Zoning staff is to "Require Urban Intensity Residential and Non-Residential Development to occur within existing urbanized areas, approved urban growth boundaries, villages, and/or the county's identified preferred growth areas."
County Planner Seth Rivard lead the group through the draft outline.
He described the land use and growth management element of the comprehensive plan as one of its most important aspects, given the countys evolving needs.
"Our purpose is to sort of start anew," he said.
Groups focusing on the future use of agricultural and rural areas, and two focused on development along Route 340, were among the most popular with workshop attendees, whole spent over an hour discussing their concerns.
Remarks like "No growth along the Potomac River," "Keep rural, rural," and "Revitalize downtown business," were among the suggestions made by citizens.
Jefferson County's comprehensive plan is required to be updated every10 years by law.
Another major goal for the newest revised plan is to include a Land Use Map, to be discussed further at future meetings.
"One of the unusual aspects of Jefferson County's planning and zoning is that the land use plan has never included a land use map," Brockman said
"One of our goals of this plan is to have a land use component that has a map. The 2004 plan recommended that," she continued.
Another meeting will be held in October and Planning and Zoning Staff plan to be on call at the Jefferson County Fair to answer any questions from community members.
Paper surveys will also be available to thos who visit the Planning and Zoning booth.
An online survey is forthcoming on the county's Planning and Zoning web site.
To find more information about the comprehensive plan as well as upcoming workshops and events visit www.jeffersoncountywv.org/government/departments/planning-and-zoning-department.html or visit www.EnvisionJefferson2035.com.

Congratulations to Charles Rummel, DBA/Programmer at Chicago-based Morningstar, and Yuval Peleg, DBA at Eyron in Israel. Charles won first prize of $100 for the best solution to the November Reader Challenge, "Collation Conflict." Yuval won second prize of $50. Here's a recap of the problem and the solution to the November Reader Challenge.
Thomas administers databases that are hosted on several SQL Server 7.0 servers with different collation settings. As part of an upgrade, he's trying to consolidate these databases into one powerful SQL Server 2000 server. He can easily make this move because SQL Server 2000 supports collation at different levels (i.e., server, database, column). The new SQL Server 2000 server is installed with the default settings for each SQL Server 7.0 collation. But during his upgrade testing, Thomas notices that some of the existing stored procedures fail with the error message:
Server: Msg 446, Level 16, State 9, Line 3 Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation.
Help Thomas determine the cause of this problem and the possible solution.
The error message says that a collation conflict occurs while SQL Server is trying to compare two columns or expressions that have different collations. During his investigation, Thomas uncovers a significant clue: The error occurs in stored procedures that use temporary tables. SQL Server 2000 has precedence for collation and a predefined set of rules that determine an expression's collation. Thomas remembers that temporary tables created within a stored procedure use the tempdb database's collation instead of the current user database's collation. In this case, because the server is installed with the default case-insensitive collation setting, tempdb, which is created at installation, is assigned the default collation. However, the databases that are migrating from SQL Server 7.0 use nondefault collation settings, so conflicts result.
To instruct SQL Server to use the current user database's collation for the temporary table's character columns, Thomas can use the COLLATE clause as part of the temporary table's character column definitions and name the collation database_default. This special collation name assigns the collation for the temporary table columns as the current user database or the database in which the stored procedure resides instead of the tempdb database.
As a second solution, Thomas can revise the stored procedure so that it uses a SELECT INTO clause in SQL Server 7.0 code to create the temporary table instead of CREATE TABLE. When the stored procedure uses SELECT INTO, the columns in the temporary table automatically inherit the collation of the columns or expressions in the SELECT list. However, this method requires the user to create constraints on the temporary table after the stored procedure uses the SELECT INTO. Finally, Thomas can also resolve the COLLATION conflicts by explicitly using the COLLATE clause as part of the join criteria in SQL Server 2000 code to specify the database collation.
The following sample CREATE TABLE statement shows how to use the COLLATE clause. The script demonstrates the problem by creating a database with a nondefault collation setting and creating two stored procedures—one that includes the SQL Server 7.0 code and another that contains the COLLATE clause's modifications. The sample also shows how to use the SELECT INTO clause and the COLLATE clause in the join criteria.
/* Create a database with a nondefault collation. Ensure that the server default is different from the specified default. */
CREATE DATABASE testdb COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_BIN GO USE testdb GO -- Create a dummy table. CREATE TABLE test( c char(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ) GO -- Sample stored procedure that shows the SQL Server 7.0 code CREATE PROCEDURE testsp_70 AS BEGIN CREATE TABLE #test( c char(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ) SELECT * FROM #test t1, test t2 WHERE t1.c = t2.c END GO
-- Sample stored procedure that shows how you make the temp -- table use the current database's collation for a temporary table. CREATE PROCEDURE testsp_2000 AS BEGIN CREATE TABLE #test( c char(10) COLLATE database_default NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ) SELECT * FROM #test t1, test t2 WHERE t1.c = t2.c END GO

EXEC testsp2_70 GO -- Sample stored procedure showing the SQL Server 2000 code -- that uses COLLATE in the join criteria CREATE PROCEDURE testsp2_2000 AS BEGIN CREATE TABLE #test( c char(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY ) SELECT * FROM #test t1, test t2 WHERE t1.c COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_BIN = t2.c END GO EXEC testsp2_2000 GO -- DROP test database USE master GO DROP DATABASE testdb
Now, test your SQL Server savvy in the December Reader Challenge, "Stalking the Statements" (below). Submit your solution in an email message to [email protected] by November 20. SQL Server MVP Umachandar Jayachandran, a SQL Server Magazine technical editor, will evaluate the responses. We'll announce the winner in an upcoming SQL Server Magazine UPDATE. The first-place winner will receive $100, and the second-place winner will receive $50.
Here's the challenge: Ryan is the DBA for several SQL Server 2000 installations. Lately he's noticed that queries and statements coming in from his company's Web servers to in-house SQL Server instances are executing more slowly. He wants to devise an automated method of flagging the worst-performing statements and queries without user intervention so that he can tune the queries. Help Ryan take the following actions:
- Set up a process to identify statements and queries that take longer than 1 minute to execute
- Automate the scheduling of this process in a way that avoids SQL Server restarts.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poles are divided between praise and condemnation of John Paul II's secretary for publishing the late pope's personal notes — against his last will and testament.
John Paul ordered the notes burned after his death and put his trusted confidant, the Rev. Stanislaw Dziwisz, in charge of the task. To everyone's surprise, Dziwisz, now a cardinal, said recently that he "did not have the courage" to destroy the notes and is having them published as a precious insight into the inner life of the beloved pontiff, who will be declared a saint in April.
The book — "Very Much in God's Hands. Personal Notes 1962-2003" — comes out in Poland on Wednesday.
Criticism so far has outpaced praise.
"What kind of hyena would disregard the last will of a dead person?" wrote Maksymilian Przybylo in an Internet posting.
The book contains religious meditations that Karol Wojtyla recorded between July 1962 and March 2003 — spanning a period in which he went from being a bishop in Poland to a globe-trotting superstar pope.
The decision to publish does not go against papal infallibility, which contrary to popular belief applies only to matters of church doctrine.
Still some are expressing shock that a trusted aide would disobey the orders of the pope, especially on a matter as sacred as a will.
"A bishop who should be giving us good example is instead showing a lack of subordination toward his superior," Anna Romejko, a student at the Catholic University of Lublin, said in an online post.
There have been other cases in history in which executors defied instructions of famous people to destroy their work.
Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov's son Dmitri published his father's unfinished work "The Original of Laura" — which Nabokov had left instructions to burn — and justified the act by saying he didn't want to go down in history as a "literary arsonist."
Dziwisz was prepared for accusations of betrayal.
He was John Paul's personal secretary and closest aide for almost 40 years in Poland and at the Vatican, where he was said to have actually taken charge in the pope's waning years. After John Paul's death in 2005 at age 84, he was made Archbishop of Krakow, in southern Poland, where he is building a museum memorial to the Polish pope. Proceeds from the book are to go to the memorial.
"I had no doubt," he said recently. "These notes are so important, they say so much about the spiritual side, about the person, about the great pope, that it would have been a crime to destroy them." He noted the despair of historians after Pope Pius XII's letters were burnt.
Respected church commentator, the Rev. Adam Boniecki, wrote in a Polish Catholic weekly that he was at first "surprised in an unpleasant way" by Dziwisz's decision, but after reading the book "I am grateful to him for having taken the risk of following his own conscience and not being a meticulous formalist."
Some ordinary worshippers were also supportive.
"I express thanks to Cardinal Dziwisz for keeping such a great treasure for all the Catholics in the world," said Angela Neik, weighing in on the lively Internet debate. "I'm ordering the book today."
Lawyers in Poland are not sure whether Dziwisz broke the law by disobeying the will — which explicitly said: "Burn my personal notes." There is scant tradition in Poland of having will executors so the rules are not clear-cut.
Jacek Stokolosa of the Domanski Zakrzewski Palinka Law Firm said that without studying the entire will he was not even sure whether Dziwisz was an executor under Polish law.
The entire hard-cover book of some 640 pages, with photos of the pope and of the notebooks' pages, contains deeply religious, compact, sometimes cryptic ideas or trains of thought that spring from citations from the Bible. It will make inspiring reading to priests, theologians and philosophers, but may prove hermetic to the general reader.
The Rev. Jan Machniak, who wrote the preface, told The Associated Press that the book is intended for readers who need to bring order into their life, or need guidance in their own spiritual growth.
The book may be more surprising for what it does not contain: reference to world events and the collapse of communism in John Paul's native Poland, which the pope played a critical role in bringing about.
Two brief remarks about sinful priests, registered in March 1981, perhaps gain new significance under the flood of pedophilia cases against Roman Catholic clergy.
The pope noted that if sin is an act against God and faith, then "sin of a chaplain is especially so."

NAMM 2009: Marshall Releases new MG4 Range!
Delivering fantastic tone and power; these new amplifiers will set a new benchmark for entry level amplification. With full analogue tone circuitry the MG4 produces the sounds you expect from a Marshall and on models 15FX and above an array of effects coupled with the ability to store your settings per channel makes the new Marshall MG4 the most flexible unit ever.
New MG4 Range from Marshall
NEWLY RELEASED AT NAMM 2009! We live in an age of cloning and where many amplifiers are attempting to copy each other Marshall Amplification delivers an affordable amplifier that is designed around quality of tone and flexibility in use. The new MG delivers Marshall Amplification tone at an affordable price without compromise.
The new MG from Marshall produces the type of tone other amplifiers can only try to imitate. By developing reliable high quality solid-state analogue circuitry and combining it with the flexibility of digital control the new MG range provides access to a vast range of quality tonal options.
Delivering the Marshall sound that has been heard in music for generations, the new MG will ensure that for generations to come guitarists can access those tone styles. Based around the principles that to achieve a good quality tone you must first start with quality design principle, the new MG range from Marshall ensures that only the best solutions have been used to create the amplifier.
Using a tried and tested user layout the MG range delivers product from its punchy 10w entry level combo through to the awesome power of the 100w head and 4x12 cabinet stack and half stack combinations.
Every single amplifier in the range is built to ensure the best quality in tone and what is more every tone inside the new MG is a Marshall tone ensuring you have access to only the best in clean crunch and overdrive sounds. Advances in design have allowed the MG to become more organic and responsive in its tone delivery and through careful design the sound achieved from every MG is more lively, more controlled and more importantly the best ever MG tone yet.
The biggest advance in the way MG provides amplification to the guitarist is in its functionality. Using the tried and tested design principles that are the only way of delivering the best tone, MG also utilises digital controls. Using this foundation the MG achieves not only the best possible sound set but delivers it through the most flexible interface possible putting the guitarist back in control of their sound.
The MG comes with shop presets for each of the tones allowing the guitarist to simply pick a style and play away. Additionally for amplifier purists the amplifier can be placed into manual mode which will allow all of the controls on the front panel to represent exactly the settings on the front panel.
Marshall recognise that having presets can be great but ultimately an amplifier is an extension of the guitarists expression, by allowing programmable models (MG15FX and above) to be fully reprogrammed.
MG has inbuilt the revolutionary Marshall designed Stompware technology which was originally designed for our flagship JVM range. Using only a guitar cable an MG in conjunction an MG 4 way foot controller enables Marshall's STOMPWARE® technology allowing the user to programme their preferred settings using the foot controller.
Settings are remembered in the amplifier allowing the guitarist to return again and again to their preferred sounds. Every emphasis on the new MG is centred on delivering the quality of tone and playability expected from a Marshall Amp ensuring that from the bedroom to the stage the new MG delivers time and again to the expectations of the guitarist.
As technology advances so too the way people use amplifiers has developed. In place of the ¼ headphones and line in sockets the new MG range has 3.5mm jack sockets opening up greater possibilities to the guitarist. By using your headphones from your portable mp3 or CD player you can play an MG to your hearts content without disturbing anyone and by utilising the 3.5mm line in you can play along to your chosen tracks making the MG a perfect practice tool.
Frequency dependant damping has been integrated into every amplifiers circuitry as standard allowing a depth of tone and feeling to the amps sound which is offered in no other amplifier in its class.
On larger models such as the 50w and 100w amplifiers an additional damping function has been added so that the user can control the amplifier further providing the ability for the guitarist to really define how they want their sound.
MG the foundation of guitar amplification.
Whether it's a guitarist's first amplifier, a steadfast practice tool or for the delivery of consistent solid-state tone the new MG range from Marshall Amplification delivers the foundation on which every guitarist can be confident to stand.
Offered in the latest generation of MG are modern features and functionality yet the entire range holds firm to one of the most important principle behind every Marshall amplifier, quality.
The MG delivers quality in three important ways; firstly every single unit is subject to the same stringent quality control criteria as our UK product to ensure that the craftsmanship and materials is representative of any Marshall product.
Secondly the quality of the experience that MG offers the guitarist allows access to many improved functions but is laid out in a familiar and comfortable control panel making using an MG simple and fun. Lastly and probably the most important of all aspects of quality to guitarists is that MG offers unrivalled tone which is delivered through analogue circuitry, no sacrifices have been made and only that recognisable Marshall sound prevails.
What's inside.
Unlike previous generations the new MG from Marshall offers a host of new features and functions. Utilising innovative new technology and incorporating Marshall STOMPWARE® the MG offers the highest quality tone in the most flexible format meaning that the guitarist never has to compromise.
Full analogue tone circuits provide the best in high quality amplifier tone, pure organic flexibility. Utilising digitally controlled analogue functions the MG also delivers precise control and superlative flexibility without masking your guitars own sound or making your tone sound processed and artificial.
A frequency dependant damping circuit has been designed into every unit in the range. This means that the sound every MG can achieve mimics the same interaction between amplifier and speaker that occurs in our professional valve amplification making the amplifier sound and feel alive.
Every MG is built to the highest specification and components have been carefully selected to ensure that every unit exceeds the capabilities and qualities that can only be expected from a Marshall product.

The producers of Daniel Craig's third outing as James Bond have suspended the production "indefinitely" due to "continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio".
According to the BBC, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of Eon Productions said they didn't know when work on Bond 23 would resume and had no release date for the movie. It had been due to hit the big screen in 2011 or 2012.
Daniel Craig said: "I have every confidence in Barbara and Michael's decision and look forward to production resuming as quickly as possible."
MGM is struggling with a $3.7bn debt which has led lenders to push for "either a sale of the company or a restructuring with an infusion of capital to remain a stand-alone operation", the Los Angeles Times explains. Among the offers on the table is a $1.5bn bid by Warner Bros, but it will be several weeks before a "resolution" of the studio's future. ®

text: Hello, I have a three week old who I am trying to BF. After the first week my nipples were bleeding and cracked and I was crying and dreading every feeding. The LC told me to take a break from BF and pump/bottle feed (and supplement with formula because I'm not able to pump enough milk) until nipples healed. She said that the baby's 'gape' is not big enough to get enough of the breast. After a few days my nipples healed and I was to BF again but it was still extremely painful. THe LC suggested I BF once every 12 hours until the baby and I get used to it and then once every 8 hours etc. I tried for a few days but he's still only getting the nipple. Unfortunately, I have become so apprehensive of the pain that I am not BF at all. I am committed to giving him breastmilk but dread the thought of exclusive pumping. Any suggestions? Will his 'gape' get any bigger and when?
