I guess now I think it first there's three point one million rand Dean and I feel when I wrote the story we found our reporting ... that in many of and ... that we'd interviewed and felt that he did ... this was going from the spot on the first year and just joined six months ago ... to someone who has a network of three thousand people making six figures ... and had been a part of Herbalife Perdana almost two decades ... so we're finding is actually I'm any different for the people that are speaking up tend to be the ones ... that are satisfy ... and more quietly ... aam and the people that are harder to get are the ones they're really dissatisfied and here to speak out from ... now ... look Bill Ackman's identical be sure that today in the nose this is going to go on even after this present ECB has an easy and publicly he really believes that ... and he called an extended piece and you know that the screen to thirty four page five ... I don't think anything I don't think evil plan on taking anything away Tan think participation rate I think you're at how Herbalife will counter ... his argument ... I mean as long as the stock is under pressure I'm guests seeking ... you know he conceded weeded out into the stock is up in Tokyo three nap percent now ... we got hammered at the end of last year this recovered think almost all of the money amid our team really aren't down thirty eight percent in four days bridges while enhanced public within sure ... exactly and and and went public with fish were added back more than one billion dollars that they shrunk at this ... and ... and and when I meet soon after to present this very among present a shame ... on why the company is a pyramid scheme ... so I'm you know the stock has since recovered much of that we had Dan Loeb is a hedge fund I also like many other cited the he believes that the company so why do we tend to get well ... these guys to then that the deal some in a pretty small pool into a recession ... there are familiar with each other that two million the stars become a personal thing between these guys ... you ... know the game between ... to relieve ... the Greeks got to play around ... herbal it just happens to be ... that the of the dice to tell yet if Logan Ackman's also I'm gonna at J C Penney as well forget the fun thing we know our story this is not the first time these guys to kill and I really think very much to read more of them are the cover that all day ...

When "Pokemon" was first released in Japan, there was an odd phenomenon between children ages 7-12, particularly in those using headphones to listen to the sound effects. Increase of nosebleeds, irritability, insomnia, and addiction to the game, playing for hours and hours on end and crying to the point of vomiting when the opportunity was taken away.
Roughly 70% of these cases ended in suicide.
In almost every case of the aforementioned symptoms, despite gameplay time recorded to the limit of the internal clock, the game had not progressed further than "Lavender Town".
A closer analysis of the game revealed a tone in the audio of the music for "Lavender Town" at a pitch undetectable by fully developed human ear drums. Within weeks every unsold copy of the "first edition" the game were recalled silently and the game was re-released with re-mastered audio for "Lavender Town".
The widely known version is said to be missing three extra tones, as well as the unique, binaural tone of the first edition, although this is unconfirmed due to the rarity of working first edition copies; in the known few that remain, the internal clock and 'battery save' have all timed out and ceased function, and in many cases the game will freeze upon entering any battle.
The details of the story began to be passed around in mid 1997, said to originate from http://www.cornus.lensig.net/index538a.html, a defunct URL without credibility.
YouTube embed is the widely known second edition version of the "Lavender Town" song, if you don't remember how it sounds or never have known.
Listening to Lavendar Town theme song just now gave me the chills..

Once again, Bob Ehrlich shows that his trickery is not limited to election day voting schemes ("Give pols a pass for verbal miscues," March 18). The start of his column promises an uplifting theme — let's cut politicians some slack on some of their statements because they're human and thus imperfect. But Mr. Ehrlich quickly turns to nakedly partisan attacks by listing statements that do not deserve any slack — those of Democrats.
He starts off with what he calls President Barack Obama's propensity for apologizing to the world for U.S. policy. This is a favorite line of Mitt Romney, for whose presidential campaign Bob Ehrlich is state chairman, and other right-wing hustlers, but it just does not ring true. Note that the column does not provide a single example of any such statements by the president.
Mr. Ehrlich needs to show some responsibility for his statements and provide examples of Mr. Obama apologizing "to the world" for U.S. policy. He's entitled to his opinions but not his own facts.
As for The Sun, if you are going to give op-ed page space to Mr. Romney's state chairman to make partisan attacks on his opponent in the guise of opinion, then you should provide op-ed space on the same day for Mr. Obama's state campaign chairman.

Ok, my board was pretty tired as far as appearance. It was easy to find construction marking paint orange. Well I saw this paint in the new snowboarder magazine. Only $18 bucks at autozone and walmart. One kit did my whole board which is a 143.
here is link to view pics of before and after.
Here is a painting tip. When i painted the bottom I did a 2 stage paint job. I used high gloss white and then a "protective" clear coat on top of that. Well the white didn't like the clear or vise versa. The clear is "soft", by that I mean if you lightly push your fingernail into it it leaves an impression. Sooooo, I might be painting the bottom again if sand gets imbedded into bottom of board.
I just thought I would share this painting suggestion to people who are looking for a project or who want a new look to their board. I used the ice color. which doesn't translate well from the website to real life. (or package was mislabeled.
Hope I could help,

Adam Eaton is a 23-year-old outfielder in the Diamondbacks system, who's a long shot to break camp with the club. But sitting at his locker earlier this spring, he had a pile of checks dumped in his lap: more than $120,000 worth.
"Cody [Ransom]'s like, 'Those aren't yours,'" Eaton recalled. "I'm like, 'What do you mean they aren't mine? They're in my name.' He goes, 'That's the other Adam Eaton. Do you live there?' It had the address on the front. 'No.' I go, 'Do I have to give them back?' He's like, 'Yeah. You have to give them back.' I thought it over and I'm like, 'Yeah, I've got to give them back.'"
They were, of course, for the other Adam Eaton, a retired pitcher who last played in 2009. As a 10-year vet, the elder Eaton gets his cut of MLB licensing fees for video games, DVD sales, etc. As someone without a taste of the big leagues, the younger Eaton isn't even a member of the MLBPA yet. It's good to be a minor leaguer with the same name as a major leaguer. Unless you're Pete Rose Jr.
Eaton (OF) did end up returning the checks, so he'll have to content himself with the stack of fan mail he's mistakenly received over the years. Which raises the question: who is still sending fan mail to old Adam Eaton?

(AP) — Northern Illinois gave Brandon Young and DePaul fits Sunday before the Blue Demons decided they needed to finally put the Huskies away.
Young scored a team-high 15 points, including two free throws in the final seconds, to help secure a 69-64 non-conference victory.
"We realized at the last second that it's time for us to fight and that's what we did," Young said.
DePaul (8-3) ran its winning streak to six as Jamee Crockett had 14 points and Cleveland Melvin added 12.
Abdel Nader, playing in only his second game since serving a seven-game suspension, scored a game-high 20 points for Northern Illinois (2-7) while Akeem Springs added 11.
DePaul coach Oliver Purnell said his Blue Demons finally caught fire in the last six minutes.
"We call that winning time and clearly our guys did a good job," he said. "We got all the big rebounds, we handled the ball under pressure, we made our free throws and every one of them was critical."
Young hit a pair of free throws with 15 seconds to play to open a 67-64 lead after Springs put the Huskies back in contention with back-to-back 3-pointers in a 14-second span.
The last came with 16 seconds to play and trimmed DePaul's lead to 65-64.
The game came a day after DePaul and six other Catholic universities announced that they will withdraw from the Big East Conference in 2015 and form their own, yet-to-be-named league.
The Blue Demons padded the edge early in the second half, pulling out to a 40-33 lead on Durrell McDonald's 3-pointer at the 15:09 mark. But the Huskies bounced back as Nader scored six points and guard Mike Davis added a bank shot to force a 49-49 tie with 8:02 remaining.
There were four lead changes and a tie until Crockett's 3-pointer with 4:05 to play gave DePaul the lead for good at 57-56.
Springs prevented DePaul from locking down by hitting two 3-pointers in a 14-second span, but Young's free throws restored the Demons' 67-64 lead with 15.6 seconds showing.
"Our guys came out competing, playing hard," said Huskies coach Mark Montgomery. "We had a chance to win this thing."
The Blue Demons led through much of the opening half but couldn't pull away from the pesky Huskies.
DePaul appeared poised for a run after a Crockett dunk gave the Demons their biggest lead at 22-16, but Northern Illinois replied with six consecutive points, including back-to-back steals and baskets from Davis, that forced a 22-22 tie with 7:32 remaining.
The Huskies grabbed a temporary 24-23 lead on a layup by Aksel Bolin and held a 31-27 lead with 2:01 showing. But a pair of Charles McKinney free throws and two straight Young jumpers in an 8-second span in the final minute gave DePaul a 33-31 halftime lead.
DePaul now holds a 25-6 series lead over Northern Illinois and has beaten the Huskies in three straight meetings.
Young was presented with the Jay Goedert Award as the game's outstanding player. The award was named for the former DePaul and Northern Illinois assistant coach who died in 2004.
Northern Illinois opens a two-game western swing on Wednesday at Seattle University, while DePaul hosts Maryland-Baltimore at 1 p.m. Saturday.

During the recent World Congress on Advancing Sustainable Hydropower in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil, IUCN shared its views on the role of natural infrastructure in securing renewable energy supplies and enhancing sustainable development.
Natural infrastructure is another term used to describe ecosystem services – the benefits that people obtain from nature. Watersheds themselves are natural infrastructure where they perform infrastructure functions for water. Examples include upland soils that store water, wetlands that store and clean water, floodplains that buffer floods, rivers that provide water conveyance and mangroves, coral reefs and barrier islands that protect coastal communities.
Building water infrastructure is a critical part of economic development. Natural infrastructure is part of the infrastructure mix needed for sustainable development and for climate resilience. The problem is that natural infrastructure usually gets sidelined in decision-making and forgotten in infrastructure investments.
Responding to questions at the IHA Congress session on 'Integrating Water and Energy Policies', Dr Mark Smith, Director of the IUCN Global Water Programme said that "We should be thinking in terms of portfolios of water infrastructure, combining both built and natural infrastructure. Natural infrastructure can't generate electricity, but all the same hydropower depends on nature. Investing in catchment management was worth $15-40 million dollars to the Paute hydropower development in Ecuador. In upper watersheds of the Kamchay hydroelectric plant in Cambodia, the loss of forests cost the company $2 million a year in revenue."
In developing infrastructure, economics is key. But, continued Smith, "leaving natural infrastructure out of the equation can be costly, in terms of costs that can be avoided and mistakes that are costly to fix. One well known example is from New York City, where investing $1.5 billion dollars in watershed management saved $6 billion by replacing the need for a new water filtration plant. An example for hydropower comes from the Tana river in Kenya. When ecosystem services were taken into account, a proposed dam had a net cost of $45 million. Some changes in dam design and operations to enable downstream flows to support ecosystem services would reverse these losses."
The high-level Congress, organised by the International Hydropower Association, was attended by 400 delegates from all over the world including policy makers, civil society representatives, industry leaders and members of the financial sector. Participants were encouraged to voice opinions and share regional and global perspectives, expertise, and practical experience in developing sustainable hydropower projects, with a view to directly informing policy, shaping action and setting future strategies at the global level.
"There is a pressing need for all those involved in the development of sustainable hydropower anywhere in the world to come together and utilise common language to take more informed decisions through instructive dialogue, enabling hydropower to achieve its full contribution to sustainable development." said Refaat Abdel-Malek, IHA President.
Where hydropower development is selected as a suitable option for a river basin, it can make a bigger contribution to sustainable development where design and investment takes into account multiple uses of water and the whole portfolio of built and natural infrastructure needed in a basin."This will be a fundamental tenet of the path forward if there is going to be 'sustainable hydropower'," concluded Mark Smith.

This statement is in English and is directed to foreign media as if we were living in 1960s and the foreign media does not eyes and ears in Egypt !! I do not know who is fooling with that statement. May he be is fooling the International Muslim brotherhood and the MB supporters abroad but I highly doubt it will fool the foreign media.
He claims that Morsi's administration did not sue TV hosts or reporters than who filed this report against Mahmoud Saad and Dr. Manal Omar accusing them of insulting Morsi last month !?
Most of the current well-publicized claims were initiated by citizens rather than the PresidencyWell it is partially true and those honorable citizens are Islamist lawyers that are connected directly and indirectly to the Muslim brotherhood and Salafist groups supporting President Morsi. You know Mubarak did not sue the journalists himself but rather bunch of honorable citizens too including NDP members in the governorates.
Mohamed Sabry will stand a military trial and today we find out that journalist Ismail El Walid has been sentenced one year in jail in absentia !! Dr. Essam Haddad forgot to mention how the Salafists , from Morsi's supporters besieged the Media city in October city for days waiting for certain TV hosts like Ibrahim Eissa to show up in order to attack them. In fact they did attack certain TV hosts and guests from those opposing President Morsi like Khaled Youssef.
He did not mention how Al Wafd Party and its newspapers were attacked by Salafist Mob from Abu Ismail supporters that also support Morsi.
He did not mention how Al Masry Al Youm newspaper was being secured by CSF unit for fear it would be attacked by Pro-Morsi Abu Ismail's mob like Al Wafd.
I can not believe how Haddad mentions the rumor of Dr. Chomsky's anti-UAE lecture when his MB media and members as supporters were the ones who spread it
I do not need to guess if any journalist asks Dr. Haddad about these incidents he will bring up the cases of torching the Freedom and Justice Party and MB HQs in the governorates as well Presidential Palace's sit in.
Of course Haddad and his team do not want to show the West the other side of the coin , their own media whether the MB media or so-called Islamist media. During the Presidential Palace clashes and protests before the referendum , the MB media was speaking about American Zionist conspiracy against Egypt which was repeated often by the MB members in social media. Those MB members and supporters are not like Sondos Assam from near or far and are hidden from foreign media
The president's aide on foreign affairs is focusing all his power on the Western media and is trying to save the image of Morsi as well the Muslim brotherhood. Unfortunately forgot how the Supreme guide of the Muslim brotherhood , his own guide whom he obeys and follows his orders. Dr. Badei once described the journalists and reporters as the wizards of Moses' Pharaoh "strangely those Wizards turned in to believed and believed in God !!
By the Way Dr. Haddad did not issue or comment about this video of Sheikh Yasser El Borhami of Salafist Calling and Al Nour Party that is considered from President Morsi's allies.
Haddad is bragging about the Freedoms in the new constitution without paying attention to what the influential Sheikh Borhami had said to other Salafist Sheikhs about "This constitution that imposes complete restrictions that have never before been imposed by any Egyptian constitution" and it "places restrictions on freedom of thought, expression, and creativity" in his own words !!
Enough of lies for God sake, this country had enough of lies for 60 years to tolerate more lies.

As a result of the ImmersiaTV project, i2CAT has published a free asset package for the Unity3D Game Engine that allows developers to use media as movie textures.
Internally, the package uses the open-source GStreamer framework, which supports almost every media type (audio and video), and streaming using multiple network protocols. The current implementation of the package supports Windows and Android platforms.
The plugin is available at the Unity3D Asset store (http://u3d.as/r7u) and has only received good reviews so far (50 downloads over the first weekend).

The Sunday Times.
Finally, our Island is getting the proper attention from Elon Musk! On his mission To Occupy Mars he has made the small diversion to save the humanity from suffocating. UK is just destined to be the Electric Cars Capital of the world. Distances are not so vast, population is quite wealthy to be concerned about the green issues and Britain was always famous for its love to technology and innovation. We were just lacking the good electric cars. G-Wiz parked at the Berkeley Square apposite the Bentley Shop was always the testament to the Green Enthusiasm, but it was hardly any improvement in our driving experience.
Nissan Leaf has introduced "the affordable electric mobility" for early adopters and now "Vacuum Cleaners on Wheels" crowd will be seriously jealous with every passing Tesla Model S (Sorry all Pioneers!). Elon Musk promised that you can cross UK in Tesla Model S with just single recharge 20 minutes stop at one of his Superchargers. Finally, we can talk about Electric Cars coming to UK which are "Like Normal ICE Car, but Better"! "News: Tesla Supercharger Highway Powers Up Electric Cars In The UK.":
"STATIONS THAT can charge Tesla electric cars in 20 minutes — far quicker than most owners of electric cars are used to — are being installed on Britain's motorways by the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.The first supercharging stations are due to be unveiled within weeks by Musk, who is advising the government on electric car technology. Ministers hope his electric superhighway will transform the way drivers view electric cars, and energise their sales. The Sunday Times."
This toy will not be for every one, but it will turn heads and show to everybody that Lithium Technology for Electric Cars is here. Now CITY boys, footballers wives and Harrods clients will play with different colours for Tesla Model S to amuse the crowd. And it is very good - every Tesla Electric Car will be the best advertisement that we can stop drive the last century technology using "Controlled Explosions Of Extract From Dinosaurs Poop" under the hood and it will be not necessary any more to send our daughters and sons to liberate Oil in the future.
We need just the mass market for Electric cars now. Tesla Gigafactory as Elon Musk promises us, will make it possible with the increased volume of Lithium Batteries production that technology and safety can be improved. Elon Musk talks about 400 miles range for Tesla Model S and X and $35k price tag for Tesla Model E with 200 miles range now! "Tesla Battery Gigafactory, Lithium materials Industry and Lithium Miners":
"We live in the exciting times during Electric Cars rEvolution.Tesla's plans to build Lithium battery Gigafactory have ignited interest to all our industry. They have received further confirmation now with the announcement that Panasonic has signed the letter of intent to participate in the project. Elon Musk has announced that Gigafactory Site Will Break Ground next month.
Due to the unique specific chemical qualities Lithium based chemistry for the batteries has become the automakers' industry standard for their Electric Cars. Decades of research and billions of dollars invested in Lithium Technology have made it possible now. Tesla will invest 5 B in the Gigafactory and there are recent reports projecting the Lithium Battery growth into 26 B industry within next decade.
Goldman Sachs estimates that Gigafactory will potentially consume 17% of the current Lithium supply. Add to it Nissan and its partner Renault, BMW, Mercedes, VW Group, GM, BYD, KANDI and other names from China, which we are going to hear more and more - you will get a picture of dramatic increase in Demand for High Purity Battery grade Lithium."
We at International Lithium are making our part of heavy lifting our projects into development stage with our strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium. New supply of Lithium will make this Electric rEvolution happening for real. China provides the opportunity to make mass market fro Electric Cars reality within a few years time. Recent news from China and Elon Musk's plans to start production of Tesla Model S in 3-4 years are very encouraging.
"We have discussed with you my personal vision of the Market for Electric Cars and Lithium Industry developments yesterday. I might be very "responsibly conservative" for the prospects of our Lithium Battery Industry after all! Today you get the bold vision from our Electric rEvolution leader-in-chief Elon Musk. AutoBlogGreen reports: "Tesla CEO Elon Musk Expects "Hundreds" Of Battery Gigafactories."
You can visit our website to find more about International Lithium or give us a call to discuss our opportunities. Join the rEvolution and spread the news on Electric Cars and Share this blog if you like what I am doing here. Thank you!
I will share these developments with the great crowd at Wentworth PGA Golf Tournament today as well. What can be suited better than Top Golfers and Top Electric Cars? BMW i8 and BMW i3 are on display here. You can follow my reports on my Twitter Feed. The future is here and UK goes Electric these days. Join the rEvolution!

In some cases the database has functionality that the driver can't or doesn't access, in others the driver may emulate functionality that the database doesn't support, like placeholders. So when you see the terms driver and database below, take them with a pinch of salt.
We don't attempt to describe the drivers and database in full detail here, we're only interested in the key features that are most commonly used. And for those features we're just providing an outline guide. Consult the database documentation for full details.
The primary goals are:
- to provide a simple overview of each driver and database.
- to help you initially select a suitable DBI driver and database.
- to help you quickly identify potential issues if you need to port
an application from one driver and database to another.
Driver Name, Version, Author and Contact Details
This driver summary is for DBD::XBase version 0.130.
The driver author is Jan Pazdziora and he can be contacted at jpx dash perl at adelton dot com.
Supported Database Versions and Options
The DBD::XBase module supports dBaseIII and IV and Fox* flavors of dbf files, including their dbt and fpt memo files.
Connect Syntax
Details of the syntax of the dsn including any optional parts.
The DBI->connect Data Source Name (DSN) should include the directory where the dbf files are located as the third part.
It defaults to current directory.
Details of any driver specific attributes applicable to the
connect method.
There are no driver specific attributes for the DBI->connect method.
Numeric Data Handling
What numeric data types do the database and driver support? (INTEGER,
FLOAT, NUMBER(p,s) etc). What is the maximum scale and precision for
each type?
DBD::XBase supports generic NUMBER(p,s), FLOAT(p,s) and INTEGER(l) types. Maximul scale and precision unknown, limited by Perl's handling of numbers. In the dbf files, the numbers are stored as ASCII strings, or binary integers or floats.
Existing dbf files come with the field types defined in the dbf file header. Numeric types can be either stored as ASCII string or in some binary format. DBD::XBase (via XBase.pm) parses this information and reads and writes the fields in that format.
When you create a new dbf file (via CREATE TABLE), the numeric fields are always created in the traditional XBase way, as an ASCII string. (The XBase.pm module offer more control over this.)
Does the database and driver support numbers outside the valid range
for perl numbers?
Are numbers returned as strings in this case?
Numeric fields are always returned as perl numeric values, not strings, so numbers outside of Perl's valid range are not possible (this restriction might be withdrawn in the future).
String Data Handling
What string data types does the database support? (CHAR, VARCHAR, etc)
DBD::XBase knows CHAR(length) and VARCHAR(length), both are stored as fixed length chars however. These can contain any binary values.
What is the maximum size for each type?
The maximum length is 65535 characters for both types (even if the older dBase's only allowed 255 characters, so created dbf might not be portable to other xbase compatible software).
Are any types blank padded? If so which, e.g., CHAR.
Both CHAR and VARCHAR are blank padded (unless ChopBlanks set).
How does the database handle data with the 8th bit set (national
language character sets etc)?
Data with the 8th bit set are handles transparently, no national language character set conversions are done.
Is Unicode supported?
Since the string types can store binary data, Unicode strings can be stored.
Date Data Handling
What date, time and date+time data types are supported
and what is their valid range and resolution?
What is the default output format for each?
What is the default input format for each?
Are multiple input format recognised?
DBD::XBase supports these date and time types:
The DATE type holds an eight character string in the format `YYYYMMDD'. Only that format can be used for input and output. DBD::XBase doesn't check for validity of the values.
The DATETIME and TIME types store (internally) a 4 byte integer day value (Julian Day System) and a 4 byte integer seconds value (that counts 1/1000's of a second since midnight). DBD::XBase inputs and outputs these types using a floating point unix-style seconds-since-epoch value (possibly with decimal part and possibly negative). This might change in the future.
If only part of a date is specified, how does the rest default?
If two digit years can be used, how is the century determined?
Can the default format be changed? If so, how (both for a single
expression in an sql statement, and as a database connection default)?
How can I get the current date+time in an SQL expression?
There is no way to get the current date/time.
How can I input date and date+time values in other formats?
How can I output date and date+time values in other formats?
What kinds of date and time arithmetic and functions are supported?
What SQL expression can be used to convert from an integer "seconds
since 1-jan-1970 GMT" value to the corresponding database date+time?
If not possible, then what perl expression can be used?
What SQL expression can be used to convert from a database date+time
value into the corresponding "seconds since 1-jan-1970 GMT" value?
If not possible, then what perl expression can be used?
How does the database deal with time zones, especially where the
client inserting a date, the server and a client reading the date
are all in different time zones?
There is no time zone handling.
LONG/BLOB Data Handling
What LONG/BLOB data types does the database support?
(LONG, LONG RAW, CLOB, BLOB, BFILE etc)
DBD::XBase supports a MEMO data type. BLOB can be used as an alias for MEMO.
With dBaseIII dbt files, the memo field cannot contain \x1a byte, with dBaseIV and Fox* dbt/fpt's any value can be stored.
What are their maximum sizes?
At least 2 GB are possible for all types of memo files.
Which types, if any, must be passed to and from the database as pairs
of hex digits?
Do the LongReadLen and LongTruncOk attributes work as defined?
What is the maximum value, if any, for LongReadLen?
The LongReadLen and LongTruncOk attributes are ignored/are broken (will be fixed).
Is special handling required for some or all LONG/BLOB data types?
Other Data Handling issues
Does the driver support type_info method?
The DBD::XBase driver supports the type_info method.
Transactions and Transaction Isolation
Does the database support transactions?
DBD::XBase does not support transactions.
If so, what is the default transaction isolation level?
What other isolation levels are supported and how can they
be enabled per-connection or per-transaction?
Explicit Locks
What is the default locking behaviour for reading and writing?
DBD::XBase does not lock the tables (files) it is working on. (Hopefully some mechanism will be provided in the future.)
What statements can be used to explicitly lock a table with
various types/levels of lock? E.g., "lock table ...".
How can a select statement be modified to lock the selected rows
from being changed by another transaction.
E.g., "select ... for update".
No-Table Expression Select Syntax
What syntax is used for 'selecting' a constant expression
from the database? E.g., "select 42 from dual" (Oracle).
You can't select a constant expression using DBD::XBase. Only table field names, or * for all, can be selected.
Table Join Syntax
If equi-joins are supported but don't use the standard
"WHERE a.field = b.field" syntax, then describe the syntax.
DBD::XBase does not support table joins.
Are 'outer joins' supported, if so with what syntax?
Table and Column Names
What is the max size of table names? And column names?
The XBase format stores each table as a distinct file. The table names are limited by filesystem's maximum filename length.
Column names are limited to 11 characters.
What characters are valid without quoting?
Table and field names have to start with letter, a combination of letters, digits and underscores may follow.
Can table and field names be quoted? If so, how?
What characters are valid with quoting?
DBD::XBase does not support putting quotes around table or column names.
Are table/column names stored as uppercase, lowercase or
Are table/column names case sensitive?
Table names are stored and treated as entered. The case sensitivity depends on the filesystem that the file is stored on. Column names are stored as uppercase and are not case sensitive.
Can national character sets (with the 8th bit set) be used?
National character sets can be used.
Case sensivity of like operator
Is the LIKE operator case sensitive?
If so, how can case insensitive LIKE operations be performed?
The LIKE operator is not case sensitive. There is (currently) no case sensitive operator.
Row ID
If the database supports a 'row id' pseudocolumn, what is
it called? E.g., 'rowid' in Oracle, 'tid' in Ingres.
DBD::XBase does not support a 'row id' pseudocolumn.
Can it be treated as a string when fetching and reusing in
later statements? If not, what special handling is required?
Automatic Key or Sequence Generation
Does the database offer automatic key generation such as
'auto increment' or 'system generated' keys?
Does the database support sequence generators?
If so, what syntax is used?
DBD::XBase does not support automatic key generation or sequence generators owing to the limitations of the XBase format.
Automatic Row Numbering and Row Count Limiting
Can you select a row-numbering pseudocolumn and if so, what
is it called?
DBD::XBase does not support a row-numbering pseudocolumn.
Parameter binding
Is parameter binding supported by the database, emulated by the
driver or not supported at all?
Parameter binding is implemented in the driver.
If parameter binding is supported, is the :1 placeholder style also
The :1 placeholder style is not (yet) supported.
Does the driver support the TYPE attribute do bind_param?
If so, which types are supported and how do they affect the bind?
Do unsupported values of the TYPE attribute generate a warning?
Stored procedures
What syntax is used to call stored procedures and, where possible,
get results?
Stored procedures are not applicable in the XBase format.
Table Metadata
Does the driver support table_info method?
DBD::XBase supports the table_info method.
How can detailed information about the columns of a table be fetched?
There si no way to get that information (at the moment).
How can detailed information about the indexes of a table be fetched?
Indexes are not supported.
How can detailed information about the keys of a table be fetched?
Keys are not supported.
Driver-specific database handle attributes
XXX expand description
Driver-specific statement handle attributes
Default local row cache size and behaviour
Does the driver or database implement a local row cache when fetching
rows from a select statement? What is the default size?
DBD::XBase doesn't maintain a row cache (not applicable since the data file is local to the driver).
Positioned updates and deletes
Does the driver support positioned updates and deletes (also called
updatable cursors)? If so, what syntax is used? E.g, "update ...
where current of $cursor_name".
DBD::XBase does not support positioned updates or deletes.
Differences from the DBI specification
List any significant differences in behaviour from the current DBI
DBD::XBase has no known significant differences in behaviour from the current DBI specification.
URLs to more database/driver specific information
Multiple concurrent database connections
Does the driver allow multiple concurrent database connections
to the same database?
DBD::XBase supports an unlimited number of concurrent database connections to one or more databases.
Concurrent use of multiple statement handles from same $dbh.
Does the driver allow a new statement handle to be prepared and used
while still fetching data from another statment handle associated
with the same database handle?
DBD::XBase supports the preparation and execution of a new statement handle while still fetching data from another statment handle associated with the same database handle.
Driver specific methods
What generally useful private ($h->func(...)) methods are provided?
DBD::XBase has no generally useful private methods.
Future Changes Planned for the Driver
Adding :1 style of placeholders; handling numbers outside of Perl's numeric range.
How to get value of auto-increment field
If your database supports some kind of auto-increment key
then how can a script get the value of the key used for
the most recent insert statement?
DBD::XBase does not support auto-increment keys.
Auto conversion of numbers to strings and strings to numbers?
Does your database automatically convert strings to numbers
and number to strings as needed? E.g. does
INSERT INTO foo (num_field, str_field) VALUES ('42',42)
work? If not, what type conversion functions are needed.
Yes, DBD::XBase automatically converts between strings and numbers.
And strings to date and dates to strings?
Does your database automatically convert strings to dates
and dates to strings as needed? E.g. does
INSERT INTO foo (date_field) VALUES ('...date string...')
work? If not, what type conversion functions are needed.
Yes, DBD::XBase automatically converts between dates and strings.
Which character types can store embedded nulls?
Any? None?
Does commit close/finish all prepared statements?
Yes? No? Yes but the driver hides this by re-preparing as needed?
N/A, only AutoCommit mode is supported.
Are any emulations of other interfaces supplied?
Like Ingperl, Oraperl etc
No emulation layers are supported.
String concatenation operator
|| or + or CONCAT() or what?
String concatenation is not supported.
NUM_OF_FIELDS set by prepare or execute?
NUM_OF_FIELDS is set by execute.
Other Significant Database Features
This is where you get a chance to 'sell' your database and driver.
What's most important to most potential perl DBI users?
It's a lovely piece of software, especially when you have to deal with dbf files.

First, I know it must seem that I am a "goody two shoes" -- no drinking, no smoking, no cursing. It is not religion based, I just don't see any value in those things. And I do curse sometimes.
So here is my thought...
I was speaking to one of my students (actually, one of my sons). He was going to a nightclub, where naturally, people are drinking. One of his friends got jumped in a parking lot at a nightclub a while back and I have warned my son that public drinking and fighting go hand in hand. It is more complicated than just alcohol. There is also the issue of men fighting over women, gangs fighting over whatever, and thieves trying to steal cars, money, etc.
My son told me not to worry about him going to a nightclub because he was not going to drink. His logic was that since he would not drink, he would not get into a fight.
So I asked him, "What would you do if some guy made a move on your girlfriend or said something rude to her?" My son gave me that look, like he would beat the crap out of the guy.
Then I asked what he would do if someone or a group jumped one of his friends. He gave me the same look.
This is the same son that once told me that he wanted to fight a basketball team in high school... the whole team.
So he would not fight... unless someone messed with his girlfriend or his friends. In other words, there was a real risk of a fight, even if he did not drink at all.
The only way to avoid this risk, in my thinking, is to avoid that place. Anytime you go to a place where people, young people in particular, are drinking, there could be trouble. You have to remember that people might also be doing drugs. Drinking, drugs, and lots of raging hormones. It is a formula for violence.
It may seem like I am too old fashioned. But you have to remember that my sons are martial artists. They have trained since they were five, and my third son is very active in MMA. They have been trained to avoid the use of martial arts unless it is the last resort. Going to a place where fighting is likely conflicts with this.
I am biased. I don't like drinking. I don't like fighting either. The two make me want to curse, except I'd rather not do that either. Tomorrow I think I better work in the yard. I am so grand pa.

Thoughts On The Sporting News' Top 50 Coaches List…Posted by jstevrtc on July 31st, 2009
By now you've probably seen the list published earlier this week by The Sporting News naming their Fifty Greatest Coaches of All Time, across all sports. And most likely you've at least seen that the legendary John Wooden tops that list, a selection about which this blogger has not heard one single detractor, not even one with a bad argument. What's interesting to me is the names from the college basketball world that follow Wooden on that list. Here they are; I added two coaches at the end who did not make the TSN list (though one would think they might) just for the discussion:
The first thing that strikes me is where John Wooden ranks on the all-time Division 1 wins list. 21st??!? It's always been obvious that in these lofty heights number of wins has never been a great indicator of coaching ability, since teams just didn't play as many games until the 80s when that number really took off. That would seem to make winning percentage a more important statistic. But not on this list, it appears. If that statistic mattered here, you wouldn't expect Dean Smith to be quite as high, and you'd expect Adolph Rupp to be higher; you would certainly expect Roy Williams to at least make the list. Final fours? Nope. Dean Smith would be appropriately stationed, but Mike Krzyzewski would be higher along with Rupp, and again you'd think Williams would get on. And so on. No single major statistic appears to have guided the thinking, here.
The question is, does this reduce the validity or credibility of the list? According to TSN, their panel consisted of "seven World Series-winning managers, four Super Bowl champion coaches, and the winningest coaches in the NBA, NHL, and college basketball." I'm not saying they necessarily got anything wrong — who better to ask about coaches than players and other coaches? It is at least obvious that there's only one thing the panel considered, at least in terms of how the best coaches in college basketball fell on the list — reputation.
The selection of Wooden at the top cannot be argued because he's got the reputation, the aura, and too much of the overall look of the statistics on his side. After that it's a crapshoot depending on what you think is the most important determiner of coaching greatness. To the TSN panel, it's something akin to curb appeal that influenced them. Would Bob Knight not have been higher than 16th on an all-time coaches list were it not for his acerbic nature? Would Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith have been closer together were it not for Rupp's reputation (whether you think he deserves it or not) as a bigot, and/or Smith having an image bordering on — dare I say it — holy? Is Roy Williams still being punished for his inability to win the big one while at Kansas? And what of Pat Summitt? She's the only one who could even challenge Wooden in terms of college basketball coaches; her numbers are barely conceivable, and then you throw in her 1oo% graduation rate (yes, that's right, every Tennessee player on her watch who has completed their eligibility there has also graduated). Should she be higher than 11th on the whole thing? And if you want to talk about the effect of reputation on this list, there probably isn't a better example than the appearance of the late great Pete Newell. Only 357 games coached, a single title, only two Final Fours, and the lowest winning percentage on the coaches on the above list. But he goes and forms the Big Man Camp — and eventually what he would call the Tall Women's Basketball Camp (I guess "Big Woman's Camp" wasn't an appealing name for such a place) — and finds a way to coach players in a way that didn't directly show up as wins and losses, and here he is, on the overall list ahead of people like Joe Torre, Tom Osborne, Toe Blake, and Chuck Daly. In addition, if you ask any coach, they'll tell you that, before he died, you'd have been hard-pressed to find a better coach and man than Mr. Newell. Does he belong on the list?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know one thing — the list generates great discussion (especially in the summer lull), so come on…let's hear from the Duke fans who think Coach K got screwed, let's hear from the UNC fans who think Smith-Williams should be 1-2. Let's hear from the UK fans who think Rupp is too great to be even considered on such a list. Knowing the passion of college hoop fans and the readers of this site, it should be good.

Water Bottle Sprinkler
May 31, 2012 4 Comments
Kid-makers, we know you just can't wait to run into the sunshine this summer break to play. This cool project idea can quickly turn your backyard into a DIY water park!
Click here for instructions from Curbly.com on how to make your own backyard sprinkler out of an empty water bottle, old ball point pens and a garden hose. You do need 2 things you won't have lying around the house but together they cost less than your $5 allowance.
And why stop at one? Add a garden hose splitter . . .
and make more sprinklers to spray you from all angles! Just remember that each sprinkler you add to the same faucet will lower the water pressure.
And why only a water bottle? Raid your recycle bin for crazy shapes and sizes. Or try something other than a ball point pen! As always, tell us about your creative adventures making water bottle sprinklers at email@example.com.

Scott Brown demands Elizabeth Warren reimburse taxpayers for voter registration mailings
Senator Scott Brown demanded Friday that his Democratic rival, Elizabeth Warren, reimburse taxpayers for the $276,000 that the state spent to mail thousands of voter registration forms to welfare recipients.
Brown, a Republican, has argued the mailing to nearly 500,000 welfare recipients was a partisan plot to boost Warren's campaign, since it was spurred by a lawsuit filed by Demos, a liberal group that is chaired by Warren's daughter.
State officials have said they agreed to the mailing to ensure they were in compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, the federal law that requires welfare offices to provide recipients with voter registration materials. Demos, the group that brought the lawsuit, has said Warren's daughter played no role in the suit, and pointed out they have filed similar lawsuits in eight other states.
Brown made his demand in a statement issued by his campaign.
"It's been disturbing for a lot of people to learn that the state's welfare department undertook an unprecedented voter registration drive at the behest of Elizabeth Warren's daughter and the organization she represents,'' he said. "It is clear that this was done to aid Elizabeth Warren's Senate campaign. Professor Warren has more than $13 million dollars in her campaign account, and if she wants to mail every welfare recipient a voter registration form, she should do so at her own expense, not taxpayers'. She should immediately reimburse the state for the cost of this mailing and stop playing politics with the taxpayers' money.''
Warren's campaign manager Mindy Myers shot back in a statement today. "Scott Brown is just dead wrong,'' she wrote. "Scott Brown cannot continue ignoring the facts of this case or misleading the people of Massachusetts to convince them to ignore the facts. This is just a ridiculous political stunt. It's not about Scott Brown. It's not about Elizabeth Warren. And it's certainly not about anyone's daughter. And as a father, he ought to think about that. This is about enforcing a bipartisan law passed almost 20 years ago and enforced by presidents of both political parties.''

Looking Back: A 2003 Buccaneer Women's Soccer Season Review
Monday, January 5, 2004
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (January 5, 2004) -
East Tennessee State University women's soccer team took yet another step in the right direction this year ending the 2003 season with the best record in the history of the program 12-6 overall, 7-4 in Southern Conference. This record saw the Buccaneers overcame a preseason ranking of 11th to finish tied for fourth place in the conference, marking their highest finish ever. The 2003 campaign saw many Buccaneers make great contributions as the team itself broke several records. The Bucs' attack saw great improvements tallying 38 goals, while sophomore Erin Ashton netted 10, leading the team for the second straight year, and seeing 11 out of the 16 field players contribute. Not only did the Bucs explode offensively, but also senior Heather Sanden and the rest of the defense got much stingier only allowing 19 goals during their 18 games. The team played a very competitive season and battled through a tough Southern Conference recording first ever wins over five SoCon opponents including College of Charleston, Davidson, Georgia Southern, Western Carolina and first-year member Elon. Four of the six losses were by one goal, and three of those four losses came in overtime games. This year's team has also garnered many individual and team awards. Erin Ashton brought home several awards including SoCon All-Conference second team, 2003 Academic All-District IV First Team and joined teammates, junior Jen Fields and sophomore Meghan Morris on the Academic All-SoCon Team.
The Bucs say Farewell to its Seniors
"Heather and Dre' (Andrea Brown) finished their careers with a powerful statement of their character and dedication to our program" said Coach Henson. "Four years ago these young ladies believed that they could play a role in helping build this program and they leave having left their touch. Their dedication and leadership made a strong impression on a team that was made up of two juniors, five sophomores, and 10 freshmen that helped make this a great season." Heather Sanden will leave holding practically every possible record. She finished her career with the lowest goals against average in the history of the program with 1.94 for her career and 1.03 for the 2003 season. This season she also set the shutout record for a single season with five and for a career with 11. Sanden started all 18 of the Buccaneers' contest and recorded 119 saves putting her first in the record books with 492 career saves. "Heather has developed in to a tremendous keeper and an even better person. She has the ability to make difficult saves look easy and great saves when needed. Her presence on the field was felt throughout our team." "Andrea had a great season for us this year. She did a tremendous job balancing solid defending in the midfield with timely attacking as she notched a couple game-winning goals. Her leadership helped to blend the team both on and off the field. She is truly an unspoken hero." Henson felt that, "This senior class has learned from those who came before them and passed on many of those qualities to the classes to come. I am proud for them and the things they have accomplished."
Beyond the Field:
"We try to teach our team about more than just soccer; it is about becoming a complete person." The Buccaneer women's soccer team is well-rounded having participated in many community services and excelling academically.
Community Service
"When you talk about being a complete person; I feel you have to be willing to give back to the game and this is why we take our community service very serious. We have done several clinics for youth in the surrounding area, we have several players both past and present who are active with local churches and we are currently planning activities for the spring. Now that we are not a our competitive season we will look for more opportunities to touch as many young people has possible."
"The young ladies that are in our program understand that we strive to balance academics and athletics," stated Henson. At the close of the season the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) announced the ETSU's women's soccer program was recognized as an NSCAA Academic Team Award. The team posted a 3.10 average GPA for the 2002-03 school year to earn the honor. This is the third consecutive year the team has received the award and the fourth consecutive year that the team has posted an average GPA of 3.0 or higher. Individually the team has also seen academic success with the three players, Erin Ashton, Jennifer Fields, and Meghan Morris being recently named to the Academic All-SoCon team for the fall of 2003. Ashton was also tabbed as a member of the 2003 Academic All-District IV First Team. "The young ladies in our program understand that academics and athletics can go together," said Henson. "We have been honored as a team and as individual, which I feel is a great example of our players expectations for themselves as well as the support they get from our athletic department and academic community as a whole."
Q & A with ETSU Head Coach Heather Henson
Q: What is your impression of the 2003 season overall? A:
We had some great accomplishments as a team and took some big steps for a program. I think we saw a lot of hard work begin to pay off; finishing tied for fourth was a big jump for our program in a very tough conference. This team is exactly that a team. No one player was expected to carry to load by themselves but to support each other and let things happen and what we saw was a lot more dynamic and diverse attack. Defensively, they understood that it was about defending as a team and did a good job of it. Meghan Morris and Jennifer Fields did a great job anchoring the defense with Kerri Burke, Trista Haupt, Blair DeGraw, and JoAnne Lott making great contributions. I cannot say enough about what it means defensively to have had Heather Sanden in goal for us. She sets the tone. At times, the season was extremely intense and it took its toll mentally and physically on our young team. We got tired and just did not have what we needed at the end of the season to finish what we started.
Q: How did the season compare to your expectations? A:
It was a jump and I was pleasantly surprised. The expectation is to make the largest jump you can every year. Once I saw the players arrive at preseason, I saw the expectations that we as a team had, could become a reality, because they came in fit and were intense in their training. The new players were catching on and had the background and tactical understanding to grasp what we were trying to accomplish, solidifying the reasons that they were recruited. Then it became an issue of how quickly the team could mesh and the team did an unbelievable job of working together with having 10 of the 19 players being freshman. It was exciting to see 10 freshman and 9 returnees come together so quickly. I didn't expect them to mesh as early in the season bringing in 10 freshmen, but the whole team opened up to each other and started to connect early in the season.
Q: Comment on some of the individual play of the upperclassman and freshmen this season? A:
For upperclassman, Jennifer Fields really took her game to the next level making herself a much more complete player by finding a balance in her attacking tendency and her work rate on defense. This growth gave us an opportunity to let her step into the attack from the back and create for herself and others. We had two sophomores who put together another great season Erin Ashton, who we have discussed before, and Meghan Morris, who is a rock in the back. "Mo" as we call Meghan gives us everything every time she steps on the pitch. Her desire to win and composure under pressure has been a big part of the growing strength of our defense. Numerous freshmen stepped up when called upon I can't say enough for the attitude that they brought to the season. Emily Fulcher and Rebecca Murray are more noted for the attacking things that they have done, because those are the stats that are easy to read, but these ladies along with several other ladies took care of the details at crucial times. Alexandra Schwark, Blair Degraw, and Trista Haupt may not show up in the stats a lot but played large roles in our success by doing what ever was asked of them when it was asked. Emily brought a great composure on the ball, an uncanny knack for finishing combined with her hardnosed style of play that allowed us to play her in many positions. She stepped into the central midfield position and worked well with Andrea Brown that gave us much flexibility and added attack. We utilized Rebecca Murray in two positions as a freshman as a frontrunner and as an outside mid. We were able to utilize her energy, explosiveness and aggressiveness to get to balls and to put those balls into the attacking third. Her play made us a more attacking and creative team. Alexandra Schwark did an unbelievable job for us. She had great timing with her runs, balanced the defense, created openings and opportunities for us in the middle and attacking thirds to maintain possession and created opportunities by maintaining her position tactically on the field. Additionally, Blair DeGraw and Trista Haupt stepped into key defensive roles and gave us great performances. Blair showed great composure on the ball and an instinct for getting into the attack. She is a hard defender, who fought through an injury in the middle of the season to finish strong. Trista is another play who's versatility saw her playing all over the field. She is also the player who drew special marking assignments when we needed it. Trista is a consistent player everyday. I feel these to young ladies along with JoAnne Lott who gave us some important minutes meshed well with Jen Fields, Meghan Morris, and Kerri Burke. When you talk about players that did what they were asked two players that saved their best for last was Kerri Burke and Lindsay Hoffman; these two ladies came through with important goals in the last seconds that made a big difference late in our season. Kerri stepped out of her normal outside back position to help add a little more physical play in the attacking third. Two more players that did what the team needed and set the tone for what was expected to be successful were Katherine Gentry and Lauren Kulish. Katherine is an extremely smart player who is probably one of our best situational players, who has the ability to be extremely creative. Lauren is another player that gives us great versatility and the ability to make game changing decisions on the fly. Catherine Olsen battled through a tough injury that kept her from having the type of season we expected. She had a great spring last year and came in playing very well to camp, but suffered an injury that slowed her all season. She is healthy now and we expect her focus to get her back to play good soccer. Alana Retseck came into the program with a great deal of potential and is improving everyday. I look forward to seeing how far she can go with her natural gifts.
Q: How did the team deal with reaching new heights in the program? A:
It is hard to say because this is what they expected and came here to do. We battled and wanted to show everyone that we are a better team each year. We got caught a couple of times, being a youthful team. We became content and found ourselves in tough situations in certain games. Being content causes mistakes that should not happen and each time we made those mistakes we learned from them for our next match. As a team overall we want to continue to get stronger so we see fewer mistakes. As a team we knew we could get better every game and we have to get older and more mature to achieve our ultimate goals.
Q: What specific things helped the team reach this level this season? A:
Last spring we worked a lot on our attacking game: utilizing our team to attack together in numbers, taking risks and moving forward. We stressed fitness and conditioning as well and our returning playing took those things with them over the summer, while our freshmen knew to come in fit. When the team reported into preseason this year our overall fitness level was extremely high and we were very proud of how the entire team came in ready to compete. That fitness level gave us the ability to take steps forward and go into the tactical scenarios, which gave us a jump on what we had in previous years. The team realized how important fitness would be throughout the season. Their preparation in the summer as well as their continued fitness sessions through the season helped to give us positive results in games. We had six overtime games and were able to convert half of those to produce wins.
Q: What are the plans for the off-season? A:
We will meet as a team when we come back in a couple of weeks; discuss and set goals together because I believe goals should be team oriented not coach mandated. We all need to believe in the same goals and be dedicated to the process. Through the season and in our individual meetings with the players there have been several common themes and areas that have arisen as things they feel we need to work on, to be the team we want to be in the future. This spring will see us continue to work on our speed and conditioning because that has been a huge plus for us. Another area we want to continue to build is the mental side of the game. We will concentrate on our individual skill sessions; that have proven to be extremely beneficial to the development of our players and team. Then we will incorporate those skills into the team sessions and add the tactical elements. We also want to continue to work on being more creative in the attacking third and giving our finishers more opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net. In the toughest games we played, we did not have those opportunities. We need to focus on taking care of details and putting the ball in the back of the net when those limited chances come.

I don't.
I also don't see any help on the horizon. Matt Holliday isn't coming. Neither is Roy Halladay. Neither is Adam Dunn. Neither is anybody else of substance. The Mets simply don't have the chips – without scuttling their farm system – to make a significant deal.
They will wait for Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran to get better and consider them as "the best trade we could make." What nonsense. They weren't playing well when those guys were healthy. As far as Carlos Delgado is concerned, frankly, I see him wanting to come back for only one reason, and that is to prove he's healthy enough to sign with another team this winter.
They will add Julio Lugo to rest Alex Cora, but let's face it, who really cares? The best thing about Lugo is it might force the Mets to release Tim Redding.
Johan Santana goes today in an effort to stop the slide. I can't begin to count the times I've written that sentence this season. Trouble is, Santana has been less than an All-Star since he was roughed up in San Francisco. The home runs keep coming off him.
There were no signs of life in last night's debacle. One has to wonder if internally the Mets aren't thinking among themselves that it is over.

Last night, the 87th Annual Academy Awards was more than just a stage for the stars of Hollywood. It became a platform for politics, including (but not limited to) gender equality, race relations, suicide prevention, and immigrant rights.
I felt that this representation for touchy subjects demonstrated how the entertainment industry is ever-evolving.
It's not always about the glitz and the glamour, but also about making a difference in the world.
Just take a look at one of the movie moments celebrated at the 2015 Oscars: the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music.

Reviews for Cha-Ya
Average rating: 0 / 5.0 Based on 22 reviews.
|I've probably had everything on the menu and I haven't disliked anything. Everything is delicious. I eat a lot of vegan/Buddhist Japanese food so this is "comfort" food for me and they do it well. Not good for big groups (really small place!) and there's frequently a line -- be sure to get there early.
Reviews: 20
|I went to Cha-Ya for lunch because of the reviews on this site. It was after the lunch rush so it was not crowded. No one would wait on me for a half an hour. The waitress barely spoke English and could not answer my questions about items on the menu. I just ordered a "clay pot" dish. The vegi's were way overcooked and so hot I had to wait another 15 minutes. The clay pot was "aluminum" Yuk!
Reviews: 1
|Rule #1 - arrive at 5 to 5. At 5:01 PM on Wednesday 4 of the 5 tables were occupied, although the counter was still empty. Rule #2 - if you're hungry get a combination meal. The service was laid back but good. The food was good but not exciting (it is Buddhist inspired). I won't eat an $18 dinner every day, but this is a nice place for a change and 100% vegan is great.
Reviews: 133
|Good food. Bit on the pricey side if you're hungry. Fast service.
Reviews: 82
|This is a fabulous restaurant - the food is creative and delicious, the prices are good, and it is vegan! My 9 year old daughter enjoyed the food and the fact that the serving style allows everyone to share their dishes. The full moon sushi plate is my favorite, but everything I have tried I have enjoyed.
Reviews: 5
|Wonderful food and a great restaurant. Small in size but great atmosphere. I enjoyed eating here. Be prepared to wait in a long line out the door during dinner.
Reviews: 6
|I *love* Cha-Ya! The food is excellent! I especially adore Moon Garden (essential every visit) and the stuffed eggplant. I've tried many other dishes too and found them to all be very good. I have taken omnivores here who love it as much as I, and a few who found it bland. Downside is that the Berkeley venue is very small and doesn't take reservations.
Reviews: 5
|Finally vegan sushi without the worries. I cannot give enough enthusiasm through type. EVERYTHING is delectible here. I have tried many things and have no particular recommendation.. try it all (though I regularily order the hangetsu as an appetizer...mmmmm) Such a beautiful array of japanese vegetables and squash. Very small place, but warm smiles and service. Definitely a must for everyone!
Reviews: 3
|Outstanding super-delicious and creative vegan food, helpful service, reasonable prices given the good ingredients and the attention to detail. The baked pear dessert is pure heaven. Only drawback is a long wait to be seated (it's small), but totally worth the wait.
Reviews: 8
|Best veg sushi ever. This place rocks. It's small, and there's often a bit of a wait, but SO worth it.

|Creative, tasty, colorful, vegan, great service. A gem of a vegan restaurant. I recommend the senroppan salad, three bean soup, and hosomaki avocado reverse rolls. San Francisco branch coming soon.

|Good Food! Love the fried avocado sushi! It can get crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table. Not good for a large group. Also pretty expensive if you want to leave the restaurant not feeling hungry.
Reviews: 138
|Delcious food and lots of variety. Highly recommend getting there before they open L/D & putting name on list to avoid long waits. Nice explanation of "vegan" food right on the front of their menu.
Reviews: 65
|My favorite. Worth the wait. Lunch is a super value! Far better than Medicine Eatstation (SF) in terms of price and portion size!
Reviews: 15
|This place rocks my socks. Kaiseki (Japanese vegetarian) Cuisine cheaper than at restaurants in Kyoto. Try the Cha-Ya roll. My favorite restaurant, period.
Reviews: 1
|Stick with the sushi dishes for the tastiest food--some of the custard bowls have an odd texture. Nice tea selection. Be prepared for loooooong wait and fairly high prices!
Reviews: 34
|Excellent food, beautifully prepared. Can be a BIG wait; then all the food comes at once. But I love this place! Large variety of foods

Harvey Weinstein, who over the past four decades has brought some of Hollywood's biggest critical and commercial smashes to the cinema, has drawn a bead on the National Rifle Association and expects to make gun-stock investors pay a price.
Appearing on Howard Stern's radio show to promote a Holocaust-era film project, Weinstein veered into full-throated criticism of the gun-rights group, according to Politico and others.
"I'm going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we're going to take this issue head-on, and they're going to wish they weren't alive after I'm done with them," Weinstein reportedly said, adding: "I don't think we need guns in this country, and I hate it, and I think the NRA is a disaster area."
After the proposed movie's release, he reportedly said, the weapons manufacturers will become a no-go zone for stock-market investors. Gun stocks including Ruger /quotes/zigman/242215/delayed /quotes/nls/rgr RGR and Smith & Wesson /quotes/zigman/87396/delayed /quotes/nls/swhc SWHC were mixed Thursday but are up substantially over one-, three- and five-year time horizons.
The NRA has put forth no response, on Twitter or elsewhere, to Weinstein's remarks, but it hardly seems a battle Wayne LaPierre and company are likely to shy from. Recall that no less than ex-NRA leader Charlton Heston, a fixture of a Hollywood predating Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob, at one time accused LaPierre of rhetorical extremism.
Signature Weinstein producer credits include the films "The English Patient," "The King's Speech" and "Shakespeare in Love," but the oeuvre extends to such fare as "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill."
