Film coalition brings movies back to basics
Cinematheque free to all, but seating limited
MADISON, Wis. - A Madison-area film coalition, Cinematheque, offers audiences a chance to see top films in their original format.
Cinematheque screens 35mm and 16mm prints at University of Wisconsin-Madison's Vilas Hall and the Chazen Museum of Art.
"My own personal taste, it's just a feeling of warmth I get by watching an original 35mm print. It's almost like the difference between listening to a CD and an original LP on vinyl," said Jim Healy, director of programming for Cinematheque.
Healy described the program as an opportunity to see some of the best films audiences may not see at another Madison theater.
Cinematheque runs through spring, summer and fall. People can see films for free, but seats are on a first-come first-serve basis.
Organizers offers an array of genres including but not limited to documentaries, animated films and westerns.
In time for Oscar season, Cinematheque has been featuring films from the Academy Film Archive, a collection established by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
At times, they will show digital copies, but bringing back the best movies in their original 35 mm and 16 mm formats is important.
"What we're offering is an alternate path to discover cinema history, good movies that have either forgotten by history or that people need to see again to be reminded of the achievements of filmmakers of the past," said Healy.
Cinematheque staff said they hope through their work movie lovers will expand their knowledge of the history of film.
"You're going to see good movies here and a lot of times you're going to see things you didn't even know existed," said Healy.

McCarthy reshuffles Packers' line deck
Mike McCarthy ducked the question after the season, he ducked it at the NFL Meetings in Arizona and he ducked it last Saturday when the 2013 NFL Draft was over.
And now we know why the Green Bay Packers coach was dancing around inquiries about his offensive line all offseason: He had big changes in mind.
Confirming those changes to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, McCarthy said he has moved Bryan Bulaga to left tackle, Josh Sitton to left guard, T.J. Lang to right guard and has kicked off a three-way competition at right tackle among Don Barclay, Marshall Newhouse and Derek Sherrod. The changes took effect when Phase II of the Packers' offseason program began this week.
The Packers' offensive line to end last season was, from left to right, Newhouse at left tackle, Lang at left guard, Evan Dietrich-Smith at center, Sitton at right guard and Barclay at right tackle. Bulaga suffered a season-ending hip injury Nov. 4 and Sherrod hasn't played since suffering a broken leg at Kansas City on Dec. 18, 2011.
"I sat down with Bryan and Josh on Monday and I told them I wanted to make the move to where they're on the left side," McCarthy told Silverstein in an interview. "Those two are our most accomplished and experienced players. I told them about the responsibilities and my expectations about playing the left side.
"Some of the things we'll want to get into schematically as we move forward. They were excited about it."
Later, McCarthy added, "I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have full confidence in Bryan. He's been here every day (in the offseason) and so I've seen him develop physically in all areas of his game. He's a very mature player."
The move comes after quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked a league-high 51 times last season and the Packers' running game ranked 20th in the league in rushing per game (106.4) and 22nd in yards per attempt (3.9).
McCarthy was asked directly at the NFC coaches breakfast at the NFL Meetings if he was considering moving Bulaga to left tackle.
"The one thing about Marshall (when) you go back through the grades, Marshall played OK," McCarthy said of Newhouse, who took over as the starting left tackle during veteran Chad Clifton's injury-plagued 2011 season and started all 18 games (including playoffs) last year.
"We need some improvement from the left side of our line. If you're breaking down the line as a whole, our left side and the center position, we need improvement there. I thought (right guard) Josh Sitton probably had his best year. And frankly, Bulaga and Barclay at right tackle with Josh was, we felt, a good combination. We need to get the left side to play better."
McCarthy was asked the same question last Saturday, after the NFL Draft ended.
"We've talked a number of different things. I'd really like to get these young guys in here and to see how they fit," McCarthy replied, referring to fourth-round picks David Bahktiari and J.C. Tretter. "Actually, (I) had some time to spend with (offensive line coach) James Campen and (offensive coordinator) Tom Clements this morning because anytime you do select players the first thing with an assistant coach is how do you rep these guys, who gets so many reps because it's all about opportunities.
"You have to get these players evaluated because it's a process that starts now. It doesn't just start in training camp and when you put the pads on. So, on the field starting Monday, we'll have some walk-throughs and on air we'll be able to teach these new schemes and those reps are important. We're actually working on that right now."
The rookies, of course, won't report until next week in advance of the team's annual post-draft rookie orientation camp May 10-12.
According to ProFootballFocus.com, Newhouse was charged with nine sacks, eight quarterback hits and 37 quarterback pressures in 1,256 snaps in 18 games last season. Lang, who played through elbow and forearm injuries and missed one game, allowed nine sacks, five hits and 12 pressures in 1,149 snaps.
Bulaga, 24, was the team's 2010 first-round pick who took over at right tackle during his rookie season – becoming the youngest player ever to start a Super Bowl – after veteran Mark Tauscher was injured. He insisted several times over his career that he could play left tackle, but was always willing to play the right side because the coaches told him they needed him there.
Bulaga only played 587 snaps last year because of the hip injury that ended his season, but before going down he allowed four sacks, three quarterback hits and 20 pressures, according to ProFootballFocus.com. Of those, two sacks, one hit and eight pressures came in the Packers' Week 3 loss at Seattle, when Bulaga had the worst night of his career.
Sitton went to his first Pro Bowl as an injury replacement last year and was charged with three sacks, two hits and 16 pressures by ProFootballFocus.com last season. McCarthy said he watched Sitton closely as he played left guard during the Pro Bowl.
"There was a lot of information that went into this decision," McCarthy said of flip-flopping the guards. "T.J. just needs to get healthy. It should be an easy transition for him. He's played both the left side and the right side. If you go back, we're a little bit of an extension of where you put your athletic guy on the left and the more powerful guy on the right.
"There's some credence to going that way. But we're more diverse an offense than that. It's just important for both (guards) to understand the responsibility they have."
Barclay was a pleasant surprise as an undrafted rookie free agent when called upon to fill in for Bulaga after Lang struggled at right tackle. Barclay was inconsistent and was better as a run-blocker than pass-blocking, playing 459 snaps and being charged with five sacks, four hits and 19 pressures.
McCarthy said he plans on having Newhouse and Barclay compete at the position, with Sherrod serving as an alternative once he is cleared to play. McCarthy informed reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that Sherrod had undergone a second surgery on his leg after the season and said after the draft ended on Saturday that he was hopeful that he'd be in the mix when organized team activity practices begin later this month.

"My main meal is at noon. I eat a well-rounded low-fat, low-calorie lunch with a lot of fruit and veggies included. This recipe makes a great low-fat, low-calorie lunch, and I can add whatever vegetables I like." Wanda S.
Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people and those at high risk of—or who have—cardiovascular disease. For this reason and because fish is also high in protein and doesn't contain the saturated fat that fatty meat products do, the American Heart Association recommends eating fish, especially fatty fish, at least two times per week.

In an earlier post, I mentioned Wedge Partners thought the Tencent Holding (TCTZF) stake in Sohu (SOHU)'s Sogou search unit would hurt Qihoo 360 (QIHU).
Citi analyst Bin Liu disagrees and urges investors to buy Qihoo as its share price weakens after the news. Qihoo is down 5.5% mid-day:
We believe Qihoo has strong search product development expertise and a market leading browser/directory page to cross-sell its search service, and will continue to gain share from competitors.
We don't expect such a deal will significantly hurt Qihoo's growth potential, and view any event-driven share price weakness as good entry opportunity for investors.
We expect Qihoo to have 28% search traffic market share by 2014 through organic growth.
Qihoo has over 30% traffic share in Android-based apps stores and the recent 91 Wireless partnership with Baidu has not meaningfully hurt Qihoo's market position, according to our channel checks.
Citi has a $87 price target for Qihoo, using discounted cash flow analysis. The price target translates into 0.6 times price-to-earnings versus three-year forward growth rate, which is reasonable – if you agree with Citi's outlook on Qihoo's revenue growth.

VOLUNTEERISM TO FEED THE HUNGRY stems from many sources of inspiration, and Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe attorney Rick Webber, right, shares his first-hand motivation to help Central Florida's recent Million Meal Challenge: "I grew up below the poverty line in Maine and have personal experience of going to bed hungry as a child because there was no food in the house. My father abandoned six children (I am the oldest) and my mother was a prescription drug addict (Valium), so I was in charge at the age of 13." To prepare meals for drought-stricken West Africa, Webber was joined by a Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe firm team of 15 people, working within a group of approximately 3,000 Central Florida volunteers. The Zimmerman folks participated in the effort to provide 12,000 needy residents of Burkina Faso with one meal a day for one year. The Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe team also contributed $500 to the cause.

GETTING INSIDE YOUR HEAD: What Cognitive Science Can Tell Us about Popular Culture. Lisa Zunshine. xvi + 217 pp. The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012. $29.95.
Lisa Zunshine has a theory—a theory about theory of mind. It goes something like this (and in order to paraphrase it, I have to exemplify it, by getting inside her head as best I can): Our brains evolved in such a way as to render us all eager but flawed mind readers. Whenever we see each other, we try to figure out what other people are thinking; it is a necessary skill in a deeply social species—or, rather, we are a deeply social species precisely because we have this skill. We try to read each other by look, posture, expression, gesture. And, to make things more complicated (and/or fun), we know this about each other, so we also try deliberately to produce certain readings in others by feigning certain looks, postures, expressions and gestures. All the world's a stage—and the world we have created includes millions of actual stages, where actors embody the principle that all the world's a (self-reflexive) stage.
Zunshine's earlier book, Why We Read Fiction, argued that we read fiction in order to give our restless brains a good workout: In novels and short stories, we are given up-close and intensely personal representations of how characters succeed or fail at reading each other's motives and desires. For extra added cognitive benefit, we watch characters succeed or fail at reading other characters' attempts to read other characters' motives and desires. According to Zunshine, the mental exercise involved in reading fiction serves an evolutionary purpose, deploying our theory of mind so as to flex and build the cognitive muscles that will help us navigate a bewilderingly complex world of subtle social cues. Drawing widely and judiciously on recent research in neuroscience, Getting Inside Your Head expands this theory to cover all of human culture, from novels to films, plays, musicals, paintings and reality shows. Our culture, Zunshine writes, is "a culture of greedy mind readers" that relentlessly invents scenes of what she terms "embodied transparency," in which characters are briefly readable to each other and/or to us, often at times when they intend not to be. In such scenes, we become able—or we are led to think we are able—to translate body language into a statement of intent: "That body, by virtue of being the object of our theory of mind's obsessive attention, is a tremendously valuable and, as such, potentially misleading source of information about the person's mental state." It is potentially misleading because we can always feign a look, a posture, an expression or a gesture: "We end up performing our bodies (to adapt a term from cultural studies) to shape other people's perceptions of our mental states." Scenes of embodied transparency, then, delight us because they fulfill the brain's need to decode social signals:
Instances of embodied transparency offer us something that we hold at a premium in our everyday life and never get much of: the experience of perfect access to other people's minds in complex social situations. As such, they must be immensely flattering to our theory-of-mind adaptations, which evolved to read minds through bodies but have to constantly contend with the possibility of misreading and resulting social failure.
Despite the preponderance of oddly italicized phrases, Zunshine's work brings to light some interesting features of narrative—brief episodes in which characters are rendered legible at moments of contemplation, anger or high drama. In her reading of Pride and Prejudice, for instance, Zunshine makes much of this passage, in which Mr. Darcy responds to Elizabeth Bennett's rejection of his marriage proposal: "His complexion became pale with anger, and the disturbance of his mind was visible in every feature. He was struggling for the appearance of composure, and would not open his lips, till he believed himself to have attained it." That struggle is visible to Elizabeth—and, of course, to us. Such moments must be brief, Zunshine argues, because only social sadists try to render people legible for long periods—usually by means of torture or emotional cruelty.
Why do we need to experience such fleeting scenes in fictional representational forms, and how do those scenes affect us? Zunshine offers a couple of possibilities: "Does consuming embodied transparency on the page, onstage, and onscreen sharpen our appetite for it in our everyday life? Do we start perceiving people around us as more transparent than they are? Or do we get addicted to shows and stories that offer us a steady supply of readable bodies?" Zunshine's money is (mostly) on the last of these, because that's where her theory of theory of mind pays the highest dividends:
It's only when we start thinking of mind reading as our most crucial and constant preoccupation (though not consciously so) as a social species that we can say that we like watching displays of emotion because they promise access to people's thoughts, feelings, and intentions, and we evolved to value such access tremendously.
So far, so good. Zunshine's theory is helpfully specific—by contrast with Jonathan Gottschall's The Storytelling Animal (2012), which argues that humans are hardwired to invent and consume stories, or Brian Boyd's On the Origin of Stories (2010), which argues that storytellers concoct devices in order to hold the attention of readers and/or listeners (both of which I reviewed in earlier issues of American Scientist). By focusing exclusively on theory of mind and embodied transparency, Zunshine is able to pinpoint one important feature of narrative and hold it up for closer inspection. But when all you have is a theory-of-mind hammer, everything starts to look like a theory-of-mind nail: "Movies, of course," Zunshine writes, "are theory-of-mind-writ-large." And one genre is theory-of-mind writ larger: "Because mock documentaries represent only a small segment of television programming," she writes later in the book, "I feel justified in saying that they literally exist to cultivate moments of embodied transparency." (I confess I do not understand the "because" here: If we value such moments so highly, shouldn't mock documentaries represent a large segment of television programming?) Art criticism turns out also to be all about theory of mind: "This is what art criticism does—it introduces more mental states into our perception of an artwork." And what about abstract, nonrepresentational art? That's about theory of mind too: "It is as if we approach each painting ready and eager to attribute states of mind, and if something prevents us from attributing them to the subjects of the painting, we turn with the same eagerness to the artist and start thinking about her mind, and if we can't do that, we begin to attribute mental states to ourselves." Sometimes, when I look at a painting, I am looking at line, form, color or texture. The claim that I might be attributing mental states to myself seems to be a last-ditch attempt to salvage a theory-of-mind reading of abstract art at the cost of understanding abstraction—and understanding art.
This point opens onto to a larger question. I have no doubt that Zunshine is right to claim that scenes of embodied transparency are important. When we read about people trying to read one another, we are not merely reflecting on the difficulty and the necessity of everyday mind-reading; we are also performing complex cognitive operations that enhance our capacity for reading both texts and people. But surely they are not the only, or even necessarily the primary, reason that humans create and consume narratives. Sometimes we ask other questions: What happens to the characters, and is what happens to them right and just? (Mental states may be part of this question, but the abstract question of justice is not.) What kind of world is being created in this fiction? If it is narrative prose, what is the language like? If it is film or visual art, what does it look like?
In her reading of the 1994 film Quiz Show, Zunshine offers one example of how the theory-of-mind approach can miss the moral forest for the cognitive trees: "The quiz shows promised one kind of cognitive management and delivered another—that was their real 'scandal.'" This statement makes sense only if you believe that the contestants on 1950s quiz shows such as Twenty-One and Tic-Tac-Dough were really performing embodied transparency, and then feel betrayed when you realize that their reactions were scripted. If you're a reader like Zunshine, you watch game shows to see emotions, and you want to see real ones. But surely the real scandal of these quiz shows was not that they promised one kind of cognitive management and delivered another. The real scandal was that they purported to show real competition but did not. We thought we were watching a fair contest; we didn't know the entire game was rigged. Somehow, that seems more important than the cognitive benefits I might have derived from seeing how contestants behaved in the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat.
Toward the end of the book, Zunshine brushes off another readily available way of perceiving art—the possibility that representations of women might have something to do with ideas about sexuality: "A hypothesis that a given group of paintings featuring women reflects its time's anxiety about women's sexuality will be true about any group of paintings featuring women. It is thus trivially true because it does not predict anything about any specific painting or representational tradition." It is a curious charge, since of course the same thing can be said of theory-of-mind readings: They will be trivially true about any narrative that offers scenes of embodied transparency. But they will be irrelevant to forms of art, abstract or otherwise, that do not offer such scenes, and they will be indifferent to or determinedly clueless about questions of right and wrong—in quiz shows as on all the stages of the world.

Agricultural Services & Products: Background
Companies belonging to this wide-ranging industry include feed suppliers, pet food manufacturers, veterinarians, farm machinery dealers and manufacturers, florists, farm cooperatives and agricultural chemical companies. Consequently, a diverse group of issues is important to this group, from patents and U.S. trade policy to environmental regulations and immigration.
Individuals and political action committees associated with agricultural services and products contributed more than $13.5 million to federal candidates during the 2012 election cycle -- a five-fold increase since 1990 -- with 71 percent going to Republicans. The industry has leaned Republican for the past two decades, not breaking with the pattern even after the Democratic party retook Congress in 2006.
The industry's top contributors for the 2012 election cycle were the American Farm Bureau and Deere & Co. The Farm Bureau -- a nonprofit advocacy organization for farmers and ranchers -- contributed more than $1.1 million, with 62 percent going to the GOP. Farm machinery manufacturer Deere & Co. gave more than $877,000, with 88 percent going to Republicans. The Farm Credit Council -- a national trade association of farmer lending co-ops -- contributed $880,000 during the 2012 campaign cycle, with 69 percent going to the GOP.
The industry has gone against the prevailing winds with its lobbying expenditures, upping its spending from $34.6 million in 2009 to $36.2 million in 2013 while most industries ratcheted their outlays down during that period of time. The top spender in 2013 was chemical giant Monsanto -- the maker of Roundup pesticide -- which spent more than $6.9 million lobbying on issues like proposed changes to the patent system.

We just returned home from running the dual tests and wanted to thank both the Mid FL Golden Ret. Club and Central FL HRC club for putting together two awesome tests this weekend, as well as, Wayne & Sharon (the landowners who graciously welcomed us), the judges, marshalls, bird-boys etc. for all their hard work. I wasn't sure how they would handle the various stakes considering all three levels of HRC were offered and Jr and Sr of AKC, but as someone who floated between two stakes, I was rather impressed by the end of the weekend. In conversation, several other handlers noted how smooth it went, even one person who was running dogs in Senior, Seasoned and Finished, so kudos to both clubs for making this weekend a success!
My boy Ryder went 2/2 in both Senior and Seasoned this weekend. He's my first dog training to this level and between the blinds and gun handling, I wasn't sure if entering both (for the exposure) would be beneficial, but we made the most of our experience. Courtesy of Stephen Durrence, I even had a motto for the weekend "Nervousness is a waste of emotion"...ummm about that motto...I was still nervous. A fun weekend nonetheless with a dog who keeps me on my toes.

Long time since my last update. I've been "heads down" at work for the past month. Sadly, I don't feel like I have much to show for it. I have a Langevin dynamics scheme implemented now. God(dess) only knows if its working correctly. It appears that "working" is a platform dependent thing. Yes, on Compaq Alphas - No, on IBM Power3's.
Been giving a lot of thought to doing an analysis of the employer/employee relationship in terms of a social contract. The inspiration for this was my reading of Death March, Edward Yourdon and Your Money or Your Life, by Joe Dominguez.
Still, its probably a waste of time.
I'll probably continue to be "heads down" at least for another 2-3 months. Unfortunately, this means no hacking on Finance::Quote for some time. Sorry, Paul.

Juan Maldacena will discuss "Gravity, Black Holes and Strings," Oct. 15
Posted October 6, 2000; 05:17 p.m.
Juan Maldacena, who earned his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton in 1996, will speak on "Gravity, Black Holes and Strings" as part of the Graduate School Centennial lecture series. Maldacena, a professor of physics at Harvard, has played a major role in the recent resurgence of an area of physics called string theory.Although it started in the 1970s as a solution to highly specific problems in physics, string theory has emerged as a possible tool for developing the much-sought "theory of everything." Physicists believe string theory could bridge inconsistencies between Einstein's theory of relativity and the laws of quantum mechanics. In the process, string theory may answer puzzles about black holes and the origin of the universe.
He will deliver the talk at 4 p.m. Sunday, October 15, in McCosh 50. A reception will follow in the First Campus Center Multipurpose Room.
Maldacena is currently spending a year's sabbatical at the Institute for Advanced Study.

We corresponded about this dog a while back.........don't you remember ?It's a little bit more than baby puppy stuff and parlor tricks. Petsmart clicker training 10 years ago is not something to base an opinion on about current clicker training methods for retriever training. That would be like me basing my opinion on current ladies fashions on Kmart's latest offerings.
It's the same with ecollar training. You can buy one at Bass Pro Shop and read the brochure that comes with it and strap it on a dog and start training - that's not going to amount to much, either. That's not ecollar training ala Lardy or Dennis.
If you want to have a good discussion about clicker training or ecollar training, come to the table with a little more than parlor tricks and Petsmart, or Bass Pro and burn.
One reason I posted the thread on Lindsay getting 5 Qual Jams in one year is that it helps show that clicker training and R+ can achieve more than baby puppy training and parlor tricks. Not sure if you've competed at a Qualifying stake - I haven't - but I have an understanding of how challenging they are for any first time Am trainer of any training method. By the way, Lindsay wrote and said his dog Laddie got his first Qual Jam at age 3. Lindsay's life is not all about Field Trials, so it took until this year to get the other competitions under his belt.
I'm not trying to convince all newbies of anything as you intimated earlier. The tried and true methods are great! That's why I'm a giant fan of the Lardy DVDs and articles and am following them - with my own clicker and R+ twists and minus the compulsion force to pile stuff. It just is what is right for my hobby and my dog.
The cool thing is if I can come on RTF when things get complicated and say "how are you guys doing this and can you help me problem solve". I don't think we all need to be doing the exact same things the exact same way to do that - or to learn from each other.
Your posts seem to indicate that all of the knowledge about Retriever training is already known and tried and nothing new or different can possibly pan out, cause it hasn't been proved yet. I don't think that's true about any field. If innovation stops happening in anything worthwhile, we're in trouble.
BTW Did it ever occur to you that the dog may have gotten the JAMs in spite of this type of training and not because of it ?

Jewish immigration to Jamaica
This was posted to the newsgroup email@example.com on 11 Sep 1999
Subject: Jewish immigration to Jamaica
When all Sephardim Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, the vast majority - 100,000 - went to Turkey, which sent ships for them and welcomed them with open arms.
These did not change their surnames toSpanish / Portuguese, as they didn't or weren't forced to convert; their surnames remained ancient Hebrew, eg Nasi, El'Azar, Hanna etc.
Some then went on to the Syrian province of the Turkish "Ottomon" Empire, which included modern day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt where they intermarried with the ancient Mizrahim Jews of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt between ca 1890 and ca 1930.
Following the fall of the Ottomon Empire ca1917 many of these Jews emigrated, many passing through Jamaica, some staying, but most just passing through - they were all called Syrian, but in reality came from the ancient communities of Aleppo, Beirut, Alexandria.

Lego Star Wars to be celebrated in TV special
'New and fun direction' for sci-fi series
By Caleb Cox Get more from this author
27th June 2011 10:45 GMT
George Lucas has picked up the building blocks again by readying a Lego Star Wars TV special, to broadcast sometime this autumn.
The news was revealed when Comingsoon snapped a banner promoting the show at the Licensing International Expo 2011.
The television special will apparently be created to compliment the ongoing series The Clone Wars, taking Star Wars in a "new and fun direction." Star Wars and Lego, so very new indeed.
Next year, the original film celebrates its 35th anniversary and by then the world will be even more awash with Star Wars trappings.
Die-hards and willing parents will no doubt line up outside cinemas for the remastered 3D version of The Phantom Menace, while many will stay indoors to watch both trilogies on Blu-ray when they hit shelves this autumn.
By that time, the Tatooine Homestead should have been repaired, sparking an influx of fanboy pilgrimages perhaps.
On the gaming front, there's Kinect Star Wars to look forward to, as well as the anticipated MMORPG The Old Republic. The latter teased us all a few weeks ago with a stunning CG intro video.
On Friday, Sony Online announced the original Star Wars MMO, Star Wars Galaxies is to be killed off permanently this December.
According to an interview with Joystiq's MMO blog Massively, president John Smedley said the LucasArts contract was almost up and with The Old Republic set for imminent release, the company felt "it's the right time for the game to end." ®

Another entry to cover a couple of days.
I arrived in Montreal on Saturday after a pretty eventless trip. When I got there it was raining, but a cab driver told me that it would be good weather the next day. Reality didn't agree though, I woke up on sunday to greeted by a snowstorm outside. Just what you want when you want to look around a city.. I ended up spending the afternoon and night to catch up on some strace work as well as cleaning up doc-central for its first public release. For those we haven't seen the announcement on debian-devel: doc-central is a small collection of python scripts that allows you to browse the documentation installed on a Debian system via a simple web interface. It still needs some work, but mostly in areas where I need help from others (any good html-designers reading this? :).
The weather on monday was much better so it was time to visit the the expo and see what was happening there. After some fun with getting a badge (seems there computer didn't think I existed and they had to enter me all over again. With typos of course, so I am now representing `Deblan') got in only to see almost nobody there.. apparently monday is a tutorial-only day and the expo floor doesn't open until tuesday. I did see Peter Ganten prepare his Wine talk and run internet explorer under wine, somewhat slow but definitely impressive. I think I need to try it again and see if I can't run my banking software with Wine now.. I hate to reboot my server just to use that.
It seems Advogato is being read a lot - I mentioned the OpenNMS project on friday and on sunday I got an email from them stating they were happy see that I mentioned them and promised to improve their website. I'm impressed a little diary entry here can have that much effect.

| Sean Connery? Daniel Craig? Timothy Dalton? George Lazenby? (OK, maybe not him.) Everyone has their own opinion on which hunky actor best filled out 007's suave suit, or most devastatingly quipped the indelible introduction: "Bond, James Bond." But could Mel Gibson have measured up? How would have Michael Caine wielded the gun? From Cary Grant to Clint Eastwood, here's a look at some of the stars who almost had their shot at preferring their martinis "shaken, not stirred."

| Mel Gibson proved with his own hit action franchise that he can be lethal and knows his way around a weapon. So the dashing Aussie seemed a logical choice to play Bond—except for one crucial fault. He was too short. The height elitist? Producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli. "At one point Mel Gibson wanted to play Bond. And Cubby was against it. Cubby first of all had a thing about tall people. Bond had to be tall. And so Mel Gibson was too short," said Bond screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz. "Somebody at (film studio) United Artists said to me, 'Call him and tell him Mel Gibson would be great.' And Cubby said, 'I don't want to make a Mel Gibson movie, I want to make a James Bond movie.'"

| Mr. Barbra Streisand reportedly screen tested to play Bond when Roger Moore was dropping hints that he wanted to hang up his spy suit. Unfortunately for Brolin, Moore ultimately decided to continue on with the franchise.

| Credit Clint Eastwood with having a canny sense of awareness. When he was offered Bond after the success of "Dirty Harry," he told producers that 007 needed to be played by a Brit.

| Of all the actors who almost played Bond, Sam Neill may have actually been the closest. The "Jurassic Park" actor was the frontrunner to star in "The Living Daylights" after Pierce Brosnan couldn't get out of his commitment to "Remington Steele" to take on the part (Brosnan, of course, eventually played Bond in several films). Neill screen tested for the part, but eventually lost out to Timothy Dalton, who himself was considered for 007 when he was younger, but was passed over for looking too boyish.

| Before endearing himself to a new generation as Professor Dumbledore in the "Harry Potter" films, Michael Gambon was among 10 predominantly stage actors considered to replace George Lazenby's failed Bond. Gambon passed on the part—though with a sense of humor. He said he was too "bald, had a double chin, and had girls's tits." Producers responded to the self-deprecating note with equal wit: "so has Sean Connery, we just put a wig on him."

| You can thank Michael Caine for the George Lazenby catastrophe. The actor was hired for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" when Caine first passed on the part.

| Henry Cavill may be donning "Superman's" red cape for the upcoming new spin on the superhero, but the actor had a frustrating previous track record of almost donning various other spandex uniforms and inhabiting iconic franchise leads. Cavill was among the final group of actors considered for Batman Begins, Edward Cullen in "Twilight," Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (he must really hate Robert Pattinson), Superman in a never-off-the-ground film by McG, and, before Daniel Craig signed on, James Bond in "Casino Royale."

| Ian Fleming was reportedly inspired to write Bond after watching Cary Grant's performance in "Notorious." But when the actor was offered the part in the film adaptation of Fleming's novels, Grant, then 59 years old, had the wisdom to call himself too old for the project, and turned it down.

| Liam Neeson's unlikely status as one of the box office's top action stars is a little ironic, as the actor was reportedly offered Goldeneye, but turned it down because he didn't want to star in action films.

I noticed on planet KDE this post on desktop search. It mentioned not using xattr for metadata because some filesystems don't support it. I'd say that most filesystems don't, iso filesystems, NFS (depending on setup), http, ftp and xemacs don't. The simple solution to all this in libferris is to virtualise xattr just like the filesytem itself is virtual. So you store xattr in RDF when the underlying filesystem doesn't allow it.
I should also highlight that the tagging mentioned in the post referenced by the above post is already available and usable with libferris :) You can attach arbitrary metadata to virtual filesystem objects, index them and search based on that metadata. Indexing can be done in many formats, lucene, postgresql, RDF using redland (db4, sqlite, postgresql) or on an LDAP server.

Oil on paper. Ready to be mounted or framed. Dimension: 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm ./ 12" x 12".I like to express my life experiences on canvas as well as sturdy wood panels with overlapping layers of transparent and opaque paint.The viewer has to interact with my works in order to achieve the full satisfaction. Ideally, they explore the images fromtheir imagination from pieces collected over the years.My latest artistic inspiration is the transparency of the epoxy resin.The creative process starts by applying colors at different opacity and texture to form my vision.No artwork can be reproduced identically due to the difficulty of the medium. The entire process is challenging andoften unpredictable yet very satisfying.I might perceive the final piece differently than the viewer, but the final word belongs to the individual.The bigger the piece, the higher the impact on the viewer. The observer will be blown away by the movement, the vibrant colors and the positive energy.You can detect biological shapes in the minuscule details which form natural landscapes attracting the eye.Connect with me online;Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtAnnaSidiInstagram https://instagram.com/anna_sidi_art/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/sidimona/Twitter: https://twitter.com/sidi_mona

text: Recruiter Russ Riendeau has heard it all in conducting about 90,000 interviews with business professionals in the past 27 years. He gave some common-sense pointers during the Plastics News Executive Forum. "We need to do a better job at finding good candidates," said Riendeau, senior partner at East Wing Group Inc., an executive search firm in Barrington, Ill. Riendeau, a behavioral psychologist, has written six books. But his Executive Forum talk was more common sense than Ph.D. dissertation. For example, all job applications ask for the current salary. Make them prove it by showing a W-2 form. He encouraged companies to cast a broader net but only after you have developed detailed job descriptions. "Do you have a list of the key initiatives that this person is expected do to in the next 12 months?" he said. Include specific metrics and goals for 30 or 40 days, and hold new hires accountable.

Pica is a pattern of eating non-food materials, such as dirt or paper.
Pica is seen more in young children than adults. Between 10 and 32% of children ages 1 - 6 have these behaviors.
Pica can also occur during pregnancy. In some cases, a lack of certain nutrients, such as iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency, may trigger the unusual cravings. Pica may also occur in adults who crave a certain texture in their mouth.
Children and adults with pica may eat:
This pattern of eating must last for at least 1 month to fit the diagnosis of pica.
There is no single test for pica. However, because pica can occur in people who have lower-than-normal nutrient levels and poor nutrition (malnutrition), the health care provider may test blood levels of iron and zinc.
Blood tests can also be done to test for anemia. Lead levels should always be checked in children who may have eaten paint or objects covered in lead-paint dust to screen for lead poisoning.
The health care provider may test for infection if the person has been eating contaminated soil or animal waste.
Treatment should first address any missing nutrients or other medical problems, such as lead poisoning.
Treating pica involves behaviors, the environment, and family education. One form of treatment associates the pica behavior with negative consequences or punishment (mild aversion therapy). Then the person gets positive reinforcement for eating normal foods.
Medications may help reduce the abnormal eating behavior if pica is part of a developmental disorder such as intellectual disability.
Treatment success varies. In many cases, the disorder lasts several months, then disappears on its own. In some cases, it may continue into the teen years or adulthood, especially when it occurs with developmental disorders.
Call your health care provider if you notice that a child (or adult) is eating non-food materials.
There is no specific prevention. Getting enough nutrition may help.

I got on this bird with my 5 year old the day before but he wouldn't come out in to the field.He walked and gobbled in the woods until my son got bored and and said "daddy I'm ready to go".I tried to get him to change his mind I even told him you know I'm going to come back tomorrow and kill that bird.He said that's fine he wanted to go home.Now we had already seen 7 birds and 2 raccoons.I loaded him up and left....[:(]
I get there the next morning and get to the area of the farm that the birds were using and set up.
I hear a series of gobbles in the distance and I hope its the bird that would hush the day before.After 45 minutes and no sign of this guy coming in I decided to pick up and go closer to him(without getting busted).
I get set up and he is going crazy on the power line across the field.I started working him and he started to come off the power line down the ridge,across t he creek,across the 200-250 yard wide field,under a fence, across the two track,and then I lost him until he gobbled 7 or 8 feet to my left.
UH_OH!!!!!!!No dekes, no blind, and cant move.So what did I do i ,moved and he Putted and I cut until he settled back down enough to come back in to range.
22Lbs.,11 3/16" beard,and 1/2 inch spurs
