PARIS (Reuters) - Fashion designer John Galliano, fired from French couture house Dior in 2011 after an anti-Semitic outburst in public, has begun wrongful dismissal proceedings against his former employer.
Galliano, a talented and theatrical designer once at the top of the fashion world, will argue that he was fired "without real and serious cause," his lawyer, Chantal Giraud-van Gaver, told Reuters.
Earlier this week, a Paris labor court ruled that it had the right to hear the case. Dior, part of luxury goods group LVMH, will have two weeks to accept or contest that decision.
The court will not hear the case before October or November, Giraud-van Gaver added.
The once-stellar career of Galliano, 52, went south after the British designer was caught on camera making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe in 2011. A French court handed out a 6,000-euro ($8,100) suspended fine to Galliano in 2011 after he was found guilty of anti-Semitic behavior.
He has since apologized and last month issued a statement in which he said he has been in recovery from alcoholism for the past two years.
In January, Galliano did a three-week residency with Oscar de la Renta's New York studio before New York Fashion Week.
Giraud-van Gaver disputed that her client was seeking 15 million euros in damages, as some media have reported. She said Galliano was seeking damages, but would not specify a number.
LVMH have declined to comment on the case.

Did Courtney Love Locate Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370?
You just can't make this stuff up… Courtney Love has made some questionable claims in the past, but a new Facebook post from the musician may have set the bar to new heights. Earlier today, Courtney Love suggests she may have personally found where missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is located.
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been one of this year's most puzzling and tragic news stories. On March 8, the flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport heading towards Beijing Capital Internation Airport. Somewhere along the way, the flight's transponder signal was lost and the plane vanished. Nine days later, no trace of Flight 370 has been found.
It seems like everyone following the news story has their own theory on what happened to Flight 370, including Courtney Love, who believes she may have found the wreckage. In a bizarre Facebook post complete with crude annotations, Love points out discolorations in the middle of the ocean:
With some of the world's greatest experts working on locating missing aircraft and the unimaginable technology being used to find Flight 370, could you imagine if Courtney Love managed to find the plane with simple drawing skills and a hunch?
It should be stated that Courtney Love did send her best wishes to the families affected by this missing aircraft, as it is a tragic event as well as being a very mysterious one.

This is a recipe for a lightly baked and delicious cake.
I hope you enjoy it!
I hope you enjoy it!
Raspberry thumbprint cookies
makes about 40
240 g flour
55 g potato flour (potato starch)
90 g sugar
2 tbsp vanilla sugar (or the seeds of one vanilla bean)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
200 g unsalted butter, cold
50-100 ml raspberry jam
Mix all the dry ingredients - everything but the butter, and the jam.
Dice the butter, add it and work quickly into a smooth dough.
It's easiest using a stand mixer or a food processor, but it can be done by hand, too.
Divide the dough into 40 equal parts - mine weighed between 15-17 gram.
Roll each into a small ball, and place in a small paper cup.
Press with a fingertip to make a small well in each cookie.
Fill with a little bit of jam.
Bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Laura: The Reaper
Pas de bourrée, jeté, jeté, curtsy. Tada! I'm back. You're back. It's back. We're all back and we're gooey with promise and nipples. Uncrackling the cracks, unwrinkling the wrinkles, with a squee and a burble, I begin...
First up is Laura Alexander. A 23 year old from Washington D.C., Laura slaves away as an administrative officer. With hair like wheat and features placed just so, Laura reminds me of a farmer's daughter. Devout in the daylight amongst the moos and cocks, but wanton and carefree when the sun sets and the crickets chirp. She's Ariel dancing when there is no dancing in Bomont. Or maybe not. After all, she does have Froot Loops on her bathing suit.
Diving further into Laura's biography, we discover that she has climbed a mountain. A very high mountain in Northern Africa. As mountain climbers tend to be competitive and always at war with themselves, Laura might not be as innocent as we once thought her to be back on the farm. Then again, she loves her mother and jigsaw puzzles. Laura, you bewildering cheddar chintz!
Let us turn to the video and see if we can get a better read on our fair Laura. Please to enjoy:
She talks a good game and she says the right things, but she's got a tell. That lower lip of hers is a neon William Tell and it betrays everything her stern forehead punctuates with conviction. It trembles like an epileptic and twitches like Michael J. Fox. To watch on mute, you want to hand the poor girl a tissue and tell her everything will be alright. To watch with a blindfold, she's just like all the other gals who say, "I think everyone will underestimate me." If she can keep that impudent lip under control, she may not crumble like the Cookie (Angie). She may impress us with her cutthroat-y wheat sickle tongue. Then again, she has Froot Loops on her bathing suit.
So, what do you guys think of Laura? Is she all talk? Will she crumble and go soggy the first night it rains? Comment it out, bitches.

Yaaaaaaaawn. All I can say is that if she is going to bluff/lie on the island, she'd better be more prudent about making eye contact. I'm sure she was nervous, but she kept looking away from the camera. I *hope* that I'm underestimating her, b/c otherwise, BOR-ing.ReplyDelete
Was she also the president of her student counsel? I bet she was. As for the fruit loops on her bathing suit, the last time I saw that, the strings of the bathing suit was dental floss and she swinging from a pole. The only thing I remember from that night was that my teeth had never been so clean.ReplyDelete
Your Royal Bitchness, you have returned at last.
I'm so grateful the Lord granted you safe passage through the wintry lands that lie between your seasonal castles. Now I can stop bitching about not having new bitchiness to bitch about - I do hope you will exercise your Divine right to be a thoroughly bitchy bitch to these bitches, Your Bitchness.
If I may offer an opinion, Your Bitchesty, I'm a trifle underwhelmed by the fans this season. I quite like the assortment of favourites though, with one glaring exception - which I'll get to. I'm looking forward to the new adventures of Sir Malcolm of Loxley and Lady Brenda of Scramble-Never, and the shenanigans of Corinne the Cunning and Cochran the Confessor. Also, watching Mad Phillip the Crazy and Francesca the Clever resume hostilities should be merrier than any court jester! As for Dawn the Determined, well, I quite admire the endearing professor. And what of Eric the Innocent? He is older now, it will be interesting to see if he has become Eric the Wiser. That leaves Andrea the Rather Dull Actually, and the penitent young monk named Brandon, from Shit-For-Brains Abbey.
I suppose I can understand why they cast Andrea - she's popular among the commoners, but Brandon?! If they were looking for a bible thumping type they should have called the fabled Rider of Pretty Ponies. And if they weren't, they should have called the silver-haired knight cruelly thwarted by fate on his last campaign; Sir Marty the Grandmaster! They're dumber than a bag of halberds.
I think Marty could have played a pretty successful game with this cast too. He'd have been able to align with his old mate Brenda right away, and I think Corinne, Cochran and Malcolm, who all prefer to align with intelligent players, would have been receptive to a quintupling. An alliance of those players would probably have dominated the game, or imploded spectacularly - either way, it woulda been entertaining. I also think Marty and Phillip, like an ersatz Rob and Russell, would have found themselves jousting.
Instead, we got Brandon. With some new tatts. Great. I'll wager one of 'em says "Thou shalt not give up immunitey".
Interesting about reaper.ReplyDelete

Information about the Karl Ludwig Tuchscherer Family
By Lena Schroh, nee Tuchscherer
Luseland, Saskatchawan
The Village of Mariahilf, named in memory of the Pilgrimage church near Lauterburg, Alsace, Germany was established by the Kutschurgan pioneers, in the fall of 1808. The village was located on the west bank of the Baraboi River just thirty miles north-west of Odessa in southern Russia. It was on the very busy road between Odessa and Strassburg.
One of the founding families of the village was Dionis Duchscherer and family, who had come with the other pioneers from Beinheim/Weissenburg, and Alsace, Germany.
In 1810, the village name was changed to Mannheim, because Governor de Richelieu felt the devotional tone of the name Mariahilf might offend the Czar. The founding families were very poor, having brought with them only 2,150 Rubles in cash. The Crown grant was 162 Rubles per family. But by 1811, the village contained 140 draft horses, 49 oxen, 114 cows, 54 calves and 50 steers.
The first church built in 1811 was of adobe and was in use until 1819 when it was replaced with one built of fieldstone. The resident priest was Father Oswald, a Jesuit. He remained until June 3, 1820, when he was expelled by the Russians.
By 1816, Dionysius Duchscherer, age 27, [born in 1789] with his wife Elisabeth [born in 1793 at Beinheim, Germany] with their daughter Barbara [born 1813 at Beinheim] and daughter Johanna [born 1816 at Mannheim, South Russia] along with Dionysius's brother Cristoph, age 33, [born in 1783] and his wife Elisabeth nee Gregory, age 24 [born in1792] and their two children Joseph [born in 1814] and Elisabeth [born 1813] arrived in Mannheim to join their older brother who had arrived there in 1808 as one of the founding families of the village.
The land given to them by the Czar amounted to 70,587 acres divided between the 440 founding families. By 1816, this amounted to about 25 acres each [man, woman and child] so most families had 100 acres of plow land and could make a good living. But by 1885, the population had grown from 2,189 to 11,896 as the average family had eight children. This divided up the land further to only 5 acres each. Thus, the overpopulation and the scarcity and high cost of land made it necessary for some of the family members to immigrate to the new world, especially the USA and Canada.
Karl Ludwig [T] Duchscherer was one of these families. At the age of 47 with his wife Johanna age 49 and their two young sons Franz [age 16] and Stanislus [age 10] along with their married son Ignacz [age 25] and his wife Magdalena nee Heidt [age 21] and their son Ignacz [4 months] arrived in New City on April 29, 1900 on the SS Batavia from Hamburg, Germany. Their destination was Aberdeen, South Dakota.
In 1901, Ignacz, wife Magdalena and their three sons Ignacz, Lambert and Peter moved to Towner, North Dakota. There, Ignacz went to work for the Great Northern Railway. On July 27, 1905, Ignacz filed on a homestead SE of Trampling Lake [SW 14-36-21-W3]. A short time later he was killed in a railway accident. In 1906, Magdalena and her five sons, Frank born in 1904 and Karl born in 1906, joined the other families of the Kutschurgan which arrived in Tramping Lake the summer of 1906. With this group was Karl Ludwig Tuchscherer, Magdalena's father-in-law and his family, who filed on the adjoining homestead (NW 14-36-21-W3). Her brother-in-law, Frank (Franz) Tuchscherer, homesteaded NE-14-36-21-W3. Magdalena applied and received homestead on NW 12-36-21-W3, therefore she was denied the homestead on SW 14-36-21-W3, which her husband Ignatz had applied for before he died.
Today my sister, Helen Bohn nee Tuchscherer, owns the homestead of my Grandmother, Magdalena Tuchscherer. Also, Helen and her husband, Simon Bohn, own and live on the homestead, SW-14-36-21-W3, which our grandfather, Ignatz, had applied for before he died.

Dobie Holden Stadium
Newly-renovated and remodeled Dobie Holden Stadium was unveiled in September, 2008. All new metal seating was installed. The project added 550 seats to the home side. The entire center section is now chair backs for reserved seating. The renovation also includes a new air-conditioned press box that includes bathroom facilities. Other features of the new stadium include: A new entry area with ticket booth and expanded restrooms, as well as an area to sell school memorabilia. New visitor dressing facility on the northeast corner of the stadium. And a walk-through plaza going to the stadium. Dobie Holden Stadium was originally constructed in 1966. It sat 4,000 fans on the home side and 1,000 fans on the visitors side, and has seen some of the finest community college football action in the state.
The stadium is named for coaching legend, Thomas Dobie Holden (1948-1966), who is credited with 8 state championships and one national championship during his tenure.
Visitor parking is located on the north and east sides of the stadium, while the home side utilizes the east and south sides of the stadium. The stadium was also once the former home to Poplarville High School's Hornets.
Marvin R. White Coliseum
White Coliseum, PRCC's main sports arena, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Shivers Gym was remodeled with a new floor, bleachers, restrooms, concession area, main lobby and dressing rooms. A new Marvin R. White Coliseum is in the planning stages with construction slated to begin in 2010. The rendering at right shows the new Coliseum.
Wildcat Field
Wildcat Field is home to the PRCC Wildcat's baseball team. This fine facility has recently been completely redone and features a new covered stadium with chair back seats and press facilities; a new scoreboard; a new field house that contains baseball coaches' offices, dressing room facilities, and a weight training area; and a new home side dugout. The lighted field, recently upgraded, represents one of the finest in the league.
PRCC Softball Field
The newly redone softball field features a new covered stadium with press facilities. The field also has recently upgraded the fences and boasts a new scoreboard.
PRCC Soccer Field
Although soccer is a recent addition to the PRCC sports lineup, the field is a first-rate facility. A new covered stadium is complemented by a new press facility and covered team shelters. The field is regulation size and the facility was opened in 1999.
Tennis Courts
PRCC's tennis facility features 6 new courts with covered stands. This facility is a recent addition to PRCC's athletic facilities. It is located across from the new PRCC Sports Complex and next door to the Career Technical Education Building on the north end of the Poplarville campus.
PRCC Football Practice Field
The new football practice field is a fine practice facility and serves to save the stadium for home games and other events.
PRCC Wellness Center
The PRCC Wellness Center serves the athletic teams as well as students and staff as a well staffed and maintained facility with exercise machines, free weights, an indoor track, aerobics exercise room and offices and classroooms for members of the Health, Physical Education & Recreation faculty. The 10,000 square foot facility was opened in 1997 and is a part of the Nursing and Wellness facility.

Vimeo has released an update for its app on Windows Phone, bringing it back to Windows Phone 8 and up to version 2.0. Consumers were reportedly experiencing issues with downloading and using the app, which is now evidentially rectified. As well as returning to the store, the Vimeo app also sports a special offer for Lumia Windows Phone owners.
Lumia smartphones open up a free 3 month trial of Vimeo Plus membership (worth $30), which is handy should you be looking at possibly taking out a subscription. We last looked at Vimeo back in December, when the app was updated for Windows Phone 8 smartphones. We've reached out to the Vimeo team for a full list of changes for version 2.
Be sure to note anything you've noticed in the new version in the comments. You can download Vimeo from the Windows Phone Store. Thanks to everyone who tipped us!

Pink thoughts!
Since I know you live in Del Mar, CA guess that's not your house in the first pic, lol. It sure looks homey and welcoming tho. The plate reminds me of MT. We lived out in country with lots of bare land around us, the mountains across the lake, so pretty. We got lots of snow so the plate really reminds me of MT. Makes me homesick for MT but then I usually am anyway,I'd go back to live there in a heart beat. We moved from east county San Diego to MT on 20 acres on Canyon Ferry Lake. Pretty hard to beat that.
Love your blog. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
A beautiful post Pam. Merry Christmas to you!ReplyDelete
Agreed. Beautiful post.ReplyDelete

Walmart and Straight Talk Wireless will soon be carrying the iPhone 5 starting January 11. It will only be offered at its full, contract-free price, however, Straight Talk is offering an unlimited talk, text, and data plan for $45 per month, significantly cheaper than the plans available from the major US carriers.
In addition to Straight Talk's plan, Walmart will be offering customers with a Walmart Credit Card a financing plan that will allow customers to pay $25 per month to avoid the large up front cost. According to a statement Walmart representative, the total cost of the plan will be lower than most plans from one of the major national carriers:
"We believe customers shouldn't have to choose between saving money and having the latest technology," said Seong Ohm, senior vice president of Entertainment for Walmart U.S. "Now customers can have the coveted iPhone with unlimited talk, text and data without a contract for $70 a month thanks to our exclusive Straight Talk plan and industry first financing offer."
This is just the latest in the expansion of the iPhone to a variety of US carriers. While carriers like Straight Talk and Virgin Mobile use the networks of the major carriers, they are able to offer customers lower prices on plans while usually charging full price for the handset. The Straight Talk/Walmart deal is unique in offering customers the ability to pay for the cost of the iPhone over time without requiring a contract. Straight Talk Wireless uses AT&T's network, and at this time it isn't clear whether or not customers on this plan will be able to access AT&T's LTE network.

My husband Doug and I welcomed our daughter, Avery Rose Holdsworth, in September 2011. During labor, her heart rate dropped when I pushed, but the neonatal team couldn't find anything medically wrong. She was a beautiful, healthy baby, but gave us another scare with a bout of whooping cough when she was 4 months old. Again, she came through like a champ, and we had no indication that a scarier diagnosis was yet to come.
But in April 2013, we received life-changing news: At 18 months old, Avery was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition called atrial septal defect and needed open-heart surgery. We were floored and devastated; we had no idea what to do or think.
At the time, Doug and I were both working demanding jobs: I was a director of communications, overseeing public relations and marketing for a large, statewide organization, and he had just been hired to launch the brokerage division of a logistics firm. As a way to cope and de-stress from the worry and pressure, I started making custom hospital shirts for Avery's post-surgery hospital stay and recovery. She was very scared of doctors, nurses and anything "hospital-like," so I cut some of her T-shirts in the front, added fancy ribbon and put some snaps on.
Avery's nurses, doctors and other patients' moms kept asking where I got the shirts, and the medical staff loved the easy access to check Avery's vitals and incisions. It made me feel like life was "normal" again — seeing Avery in a regular T-shirt made us optimistic that everything was going to be OK. (And thankfully, it was. Our daughter has had an amazing recovery.)
That's how the Heal-A-Boo-Boo Project was born, a program that allows families of babies and toddlers facing medical procedures to request a free "Peek-a-Boo-Boo" hospital shirt with matching leg warmers, and for girls, a hair bow.
Although I fronted the startup costs, Heel-A-Boo-Boo is fully funded by grants and individual supporters.
I learned that you can apply and get grants for projects near and dear to your heart, even if you are not a registered charity. Before I began this journey, I knew very little about grant writing, but I happened to stumble upon various contests and competitions that got me started.
For example, I saw a Facebook post for the PNC Neighborhood Wishlist program, which gave me a $500 grant. Then a fellow "heart mom" saw my Facebook post about the project and suggested I submit my funding request to Hearts of Hope SE Michigan, where I received another $250.
I raised another $450 through my online fundraising page at GoFundMe.com. And now I'm hosting a fundraiser on the project's Facebook page, where I am selling baby and toddler clothes, bibs and legwarmers at 50 percent or more off the price I used to sell them on Etsy for.
In just two months, I've raised enough money to make and donate over 120 shirts, and I am currently working on a large donation to two children's hospitals — all in my spare time. Some grants you get and some you don't, but I've resolved to try for all that I can. Every little bit helps.
Eventually, I would love to see the Heal-A-Boo-Boo project rolled out in hospitals nationwide, enabling patients and their families to go "shopping" for a new hospital outfit — putting smiles on their faces during what is typically a stressful and trying time.
Amanda Holdsworth is now the communications and marketing manager at the University of Michigan's Business Engagement Center, connecting businesses to research, recruiting and philanthropic opportunities within the University community.

HP printer smears
I'm having a non-software problem with a HP LaserJet 4ML printer, a picture of which is here. It was purchased in 1996 (for a whack of money because it has an Adobe PostScript processor in it). While it's old, it hasn't been used very much, I think I'm only on about the 3rd or 4th 500-page ream or so.
The problem started about a year ago, when a light gray vertical band began to appear along the left edge of pages. Over time the gray area got darker and spread out to the right. Now it covers the whole page. A scan of a test page showing the problem is here. The manual is no help.
I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered this kind of problem or has advice. Some obvious questions are:
* Is this likely to be a problem with the toner cartridge? I.e., easy to fix.
* If it's not the cartridge, is there any hope of fixing it oneself by cleaning something inside the printer?
* Is there a good, more targeted, forum to ask about this on?
I'd hate to throw the printer out, but suspect having it serviced, if even possible, would cost a lot more than buying a new one (i.e., $100 or less). If I buy a new cartridge to test that out, and it doesn't fix it, I'd be stuck with one-and-a-half good cartridges and a bad printer.
Thanks for any suggestions!
This might be improper print density or a cartridge malfunction. Both could cause "backgrounding".
Thanks for the helpful link, jggimi.
Looking at the quality problems shown in that pdf, I'm not sure that 3. Backgrounding is the best description of the problem. Now that can be hard to tell based just on the image I gave! But the backgrounding example they show is kind of irregular blotches all over, whereas the problem has a more regular pattern. But let's not rule it out yet.
What I think matches better to the problem is 7. Dark, Fuzzy Vertical Streak(s). This is definitely the way the problem started, with one streak at the left edge (really beyond the printing area), then new vertical streaks began to form to the right (while the left ones got darker), and so on. Now the problem is on steroids of course, but you can still see that the left of the page is worse, and that there is a vertical component to the streaking. (There also is a horizontal aspect to how dark it is.)
Now if we come back to Backgrounding, one stated cause is incorrect print density. This one seems unlikely to me, that wouldn't worsen in a gradual continuous manner would it? Also, I've never changed the print density intentionally in, well, a decade maybe. The other possible cause is cartridge malfunction.
For Fuzzy Streaks, causes are again cartridge malfunction, or damaged/stained fuser. The latter particularly sounds like something that could get worse with time as stain builds up.
But in either case it could be the cartridge too.
I'll have to try to investigate this more and look in the printer again. Find out the costs involved. These are some good leads to get me started, thanks again.
I have a very early model of laser printer which improved the image somewhat with a new cartridge (ebay) that had a new fuser cable also. Howsoever, the left-vertical-band problem came ( and went ) on
one cartridge I have in another printer. What I may suggest...
1... remove the cartridge, check if it has a "cleaning slider" and give it several passes to-fro. Also shake the cartridge left-right
2... check carefully while it is removed for stains on the glass adjacent to the cartrige, and clean them lightly with something which will leave no residue.
Those did not solve the problem here; howsoever, it has gone away in the meantime. (It sometimes reappears for a few pages.) (I've read that it is a faulty cartridge and needs replacement).
That "fixed" cartridge problem may be irrelevant to yours though; sometimes they are so old
they need replacement. (And a few of those times, it is a problem in the printer and a new
cartridge does not help.)
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT
Thanks jb_daefo, I'll look into those ideas too.
One problem is I'm not very familiar with the hardware inside the printer, but hopefully I can learn enough.
A minor correction to my initial post: The problem is more than one year old, it started perhaps 3 to 4 years ago. (How time flies when you ignore the problem ...)
Here's a follow-up about my investigations of this problem. Maybe it'll help a future reader, but mostly it's just rambling.
I looked for a cleaning slider on the cartridge, but didn't see one. I tried shaking it, with no effect. I think that is usually a trick used to coax a bit more toner out of a nearly empty cartridge, which is not the case here.
Looking at the cartridge, the drum turns out to be integrated into it (as for many HP cartridges, apparently). On top there's a long narrow opening through which a portion of something rounded and glass-like (the drum?) is visible. This had random bits and streaks of toner deposited onto it, moreso on the left side. "Aha" thought I "this fits the pattern of the page smears!" So I took a Q-Tip, wiped off the accessible smears, and printed a test page. Several iterations of this showed no improvement.
Then I looked inside the printer (cartridge removed). There's a long cylindrical roller there (I assume part of the fuser). I do recall, years ago when the problem was in its infancy, there had been some toner on this and I'd cleaned it off best I could, and that had helped, for a while. At that time the roller was more of a grayish black with some structure to the shading. Now, it was uniformly pitch black. Brushing it with a Q-Tip again showed it to be covered in a thick layer of toner. I tried to clean a small ring of it off at one end and that seemed to have some good effect. This I think is the end cause of the problem; this toner should not be there and some of it gets set onto the pages causing the smears.
So, this roller is very dirty and possibly corrupted beyond hope. And, toner can only come from the toner cartridge (doh), so the cartridge must be malfunctioning now too, as it releases toner copiously onto this roller. It seems then both the cartridge and the fuser may have to be replaced.
Looking into the costs of this, for cartridges it depends what you get. New OEM, rebuilt or just refilled. It varies from maybe $30 to over $100 depending. For the fuser, I didn't look thoroughly, but found some stuff available for $75 and well up. Taking into account two shippings, the cost of parts would likely run $150 ballpark. And there are risks to the repair: maybe more would need to be done, possible issues with customs/duty, and the fact I might just screw it up.
So I turned to the other option, a new printer, and was able to grab one on sale for $65 locally. Financially this was a no-brainer. It's an OKI B410d. Main drawback is it doesn't have Postscript, but there is software for that and after spending too much for PS on the HP, doing it on the cheap now seems worth a try. The printer is still in the box unpacked and can be returned within 30 days as I mull it all over.
Probably the HP 4ML will turn into a long-term back burner project. At best perhaps I can somehow clean the fuser and just get a cheap cartridge, but I'm not holding my breath.

◎ Loa Iok-sin and Mo Yan-chih / Taipei Times Staff Reporters
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE:Demonstrators anticipated the Sichuan governor's moves at Taipei Zoo's Panda Hall to protest the arrest of 300 monks from Kirti Monastery
Tibetans living in Taiwan and Taiwanese supporters of the Tibetan cause stage a demonstration inside Taipei Zoo's Panda Hall during a visit by Sichuan Province Governor Jiang Jufeng yesterday afternoon, forcing a rerouting of the Chinese delegation's tour of the zoo.

Dozens of Tibetans and Taiwanese supporters of the Tibetan cause yesterday staged a demonstration at Taipei Zoo as Sichuan Province Governor Jiang Jufeng (蔣巨峰) visited the zoo in the afternoon.
Holding up Tibetan flags and signs reading "No freedom, no tourism in Sichuan" and "Release the 300 monks from Kirti Monastery," while shouting "Free Tibet" and other slogans, the protestors demonstrated inside the zoo's Panda Hall as Jiang visited Tuan Tuan (團團) and Yuan Yuan (圓圓), a pair of pandas transferred from Sichuan to Taiwan in 2008.
"We are here to ask him [Jiang] to release 300 monks arrested from the Kirti Monastery and to allow a Tibetan Youth Congress delegation to visit the prisoners there," said Tenzin Chompel, president of the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Taiwan. "Part of Jiang's mission here is to promote tourism in Sichuan, but without freedom, there's no tourism."
Conflict broke out late last month when Tibetan residents and monks in the predominantly Tibetan region of Ngaba, Sichuan Province, faced a violent crackdown in response to peacefully demonstrating in March to commemorate the Tibetan uprisings against Chinese rule in 1959 and 2008.
As a result, hundreds of monks from the Kirti Monastery who participated in the demonstration were arrested and the monastery was locked down, while all foreign visitors have been banned from entering Ngaba.
Kelsang Lhundup, another participant at yesterday's protest, said that as the top leader in Sichuan Province, Jiang should be held responsible for what has happened to Tibetans there and should solve the matter peacefully before he visits other countries.
While the demonstration was intended to be a surprise targeting Jiang, the demonstrators unveiled their signs, flags and started shouting slogans before Jiang's arrival, after mistaking buses carrying Chinese journalists with Jiang's convoy.
A second wave of protests broke out when Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) showed up at the entrance gate to the Panda Hall in preparation to greet Jiang.
The protests forced organizers of the visit to change their plans. Instead of entering the Panda Hall from the front door as planned, Jiang entered through the cargo entrance at the back, took a look at Yuan Yuan in a nursing area that is not open to the public, and went up to the briefing room on the third floor via the emergency stairs. He left directly from there.
Reacting to the change in plans, demonstrators moved to the only vehicle exit at the zoo and protested as Jiang's convoy departed.
Jiang and a delegation of about 50 arrived on Saturday at Kaohsiung International Airport for a seven-day visit.
Although girls from a panda fan club greeted the delegation, Greater Kaohsiung officials were absent. Jiang was nevertheless given VIP treatment, with a large contingent of security personnel from Sichuan maintaining his safety. No additional security measures were taken.
To greet him and the delegation in Taipei, Hau added the visit to the zoo to Jiang's public schedule.
Jiang lauded the zoo and the Taipei City Government for taking good care of the pandas and promised that experts from his province would continue working with the zoo to help impregnate Yuan Yuan.
Panda experts from the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve Centre in Sichuan visited Taipei in February to implement an artificial insemination program for Yuan Yuan, who the zoo said has recently shown signs of pregnancy.
anda experts from the center returned to the zoo earlier this month upon receiving the news. Zoo director Jason Yeh (葉傑生) said Yuan Yuan has lost her appetite this month and has been sleeping more than usual, while also behaving "like a cat on hot bricks."
While those were signs of pregnancy, Yeh said the zoo has been unable to confirm that the panda is expecting a cub because an ultrasound did not detect a fetus.

For the past many months I have been diligently updating and upgrading the original 2008 Netezza Underground to address the many features of TwinFin, Striper and other offerings from IBM. I have recently been notified that it has passed final edit and is available on Amazon.com.
All I can say is "whew!" and many thanks to those who helped put it together. It's been a whirlwind.
Here is the URL
When I started the project I realized that a big part of the original book remains timeless. I didn't leave it "as is" though - practically every page and all the chapters have new material, case studies and such. I peppered the book with some additional graphics since the intrinsic points require a bit more reinforcement than mere words will suffice.
The original chapter on "Distribution Stuff" is now "Performance Stuff" and is twice as long, covering the various aspects of setting up tables, troubleshooting, page-level zone maps and a lot more.
Fortunately, this time around there is a better mechanism to contact me if you have questions or want to report any errata (hey, it could happen!) - you can reach me through this blog, on linked-in or directly through my primary email address at Brightlight Consulting:

Chris Cornell, lead singer of American hard rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, has died aged 52.
In a statement to the Associated Press, his representative, Brian Bumbery, said Cornell died on Wednesday night in Detroit.
Bumbery called the death "sudden and unexpected" and said his wife and family were shocked. The statement said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause, and asked for privacy.
I'm not regularly posting at this side of the forum but being a huge Soundgarden fan this is shocking since he has no known health issues. One of the most bad ass frontman to step on stage. Rest well champ...

George S. Forde Jr., 77, a lawyer who served on the boards of numerous charitable organizations, died July 7 at his home in Chestnut Hill.
Mr. Forde had been a partner in the Philadelphia-based law firm of Stradley, Ronon, Stevens and Young for 32 years when he retired in 1999. Although he had been involved in many areas of law since joining the firm in 1959, he ultimately moved into the firm's Trusts and Estates Department, where he had been chairman for several years.
For his work in this area, he was elected a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estates Counsel, an elite group of probate lawyers.
Mr. Forde's wife, the former Joan Vizard, said her husband's service as an attorney "was characterized by fierce loyalty and dedication to his clients, be they widows, orphans, charities or corporations."
In addition to his professional work, Mr. Forde also served on the boards of many area charitable organizations. He had served on the executive committees of the National Diocesan Attorneys Association and the Interfaith Council on the Holocaust, and was a board member of the Catholic Charities Appeal, St. Gabriel's Hall, St. Francis Homes, St. John's Orphan Asylum, St. John Neumann Nursing Home and the Vincentian Congregation of the Mission.
In retirement, he was executive secretary of the Colonel John McKee Scholarship Committee, an organization founded in 1899 to award college scholarships to fatherless boys.
"He cherished the work of seeking out earnest and deserving young men and helping them afford the chance for higher education," his wife said.
Alarmed at what he felt was the decline of spiritual values in contemporary culture, Mr. Forde wrote in an article for a Catholic publication, "Too often in our society there is an emphasis on the individual as opposed to the community. It was our grandparents' concern for community as well as the values of the spirit that has made life so easy for us."
Mr. Forde also was known for his humor – both his repertoire of "shaggy dog" stories and his rapier-sharp quips.
He was a graduate of LaSalle College High School, St. Joseph's University and received his law degree from Villanova University.
In addition to his wife of 48 years, he is survived by sons George and John; daughters Anne-Marie and Siobhan, and three grandchildren.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 16, at Our Mother of Consolation Church, 9 E. Chestnut Hill Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118. Relatives and friends may call at the church after 9:30 a.m. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Conshohocken.
Memorial donations may be made to the above church or to St. Joseph's University, 5600 City Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19131.

Here's a visual reminder that it's not about how much the Cubs spend, but how they spend that's important.
Only twice in the past 10 years have the Cubs seen an increase in payroll translate to more wins. However, four times they spent more on player salary than the year prior–only to lose more games.
The result of careless spending ultimately limits roster flexibility. It makes it tougher to acquire players and increasingly difficult to trade underperforming ones signed to gaudy contracts.
Doubling down on payroll can open a small window to win a championship, as it did for the Cubs in 2007-08, but we know it's no guarantee to winning a ring and the long-term effects makes it virtually impossible to maintain any success.
That's why Theo Epstein is taking a more careful approach with team payroll than his predecessor Jim Hendry. Building the Cubs into a consistent winner, one that reaches the postseason year-after-year, gives the club its best odds of winning a World Series.
To build that model Epstein has to first relieve the pressure of what became a suffocating team payroll and roster gridlock under Hendry. It means making smarter investments, taking fewer risks and practicing more patience until some roster flexibility returns.
Of course building a core player group won't come on the cheap. Neither will supplementing the core group with the best available free agents. No doubt Tom Ricketts realizes it's going to take significant dollars to build a championship roster. It's just important the payroll and roster talent grow together and not apart.
A staple of smart investing is discipline and patience. It's understanding there's no penalty for making smarter, smaller moves. But there are, however, severe consequences for losing sight of the long-term goals with greed and impatience.
What better way to sum up the chart above.

LORETTO, Pa. - Jen Semler (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) posted three goals and an assist in the second half to help Mount St. Mary's rally from a halftime deficit and earn a 16-8 victory against Saint Francis (Pa.) in Northeast Conference (NEC) women's lacrosse action on Sunday.
Semler scored three times in the second half and added an assist during the Mount's (6-9, 5-2 NEC) 11-1 run in the final stanza to erase a 6-5 halftime deficit and propel the squad to victory. The junior found the twine at 32:12 and again at 39:51 and at 50:29 to help seal the match. Semler also dished out assists in the Mountaineers first two goals of the afternoon and one in the second half.
Esther Rufolo (Woodstock, Md./Chapelgate Christian Academy) posted four goals and one assist along with helping Mount St. Mary's hold a 22-3 advantage on draw controls by grabbing a career-high eight draws on the afternoon. Alexis Salerno (South Setauket, N.Y./Ward Melville) added two goals and two assists, and Nicole Price (White Hall, Md./North Harford) found the twine three times while Brigid McTavish (Mount Airy, Md./South Carroll) made six saves and Sarah Jane Leder (Manalapan, N.J./Colts Neck) had five stops in the final 11 minutes in the winning effort.
Kate Simmons fueled the Red Flash (4-11, 1-7 NEC) with four markers and an assist. Kara Ledgerwood added a goal and two helpers while Danielle Popusa turned away 15 shots in the loss.
With the game tied at 7, Mount St. Mary's scored nine-straight times to take control of the match.
Katelyn Larrimore (Pylesville, Md./North Harford) gave the Mount the lead for good when she took a feed from Salerno at 5:23. Rufolo then scored for the fourth time on the day off a Mary MacAdam (Palmyra, N.J./Holy Cross) assist at 36:36 before Salerno found the twine unassisted 23 seconds later for a 10-7 lead. After Price found the back of the net unassisted at 37:24, Salerno set up MacAdam at 39:15 before Rufolo connected with Semler 36 seconds later for a 13-7 advantage. Semler then hooked up with Price at 42:06 and Bridget McCann (Highlands Ranch, Colo./Regis Jesuit) notched her first collegiate marker on a free-position chance at 48:41. Semler capped the nine-unanswered markers with an unassisted goal at 50:59.
Simmons scored off a Ledgerwood feed with 23 seconds left, but Mount St. Mary's came away with a 16-8 decision.
Fueled by Semler's two assists, the Mount jumped out to a 4-1 lead. The junior set up Allie Fife (Alexandria, Va./Bishop Ireton) at 2:53 and then found Rufolo at 4:17 before Salerno found the back of the twine unassisted at 4:41 for a 3-0 lead. After Sheri Fort scored off a feeder from Catherine Helming at 10:04, Rufolo restored a three-goal edge unassisted at 11:34.
Saint Francis (Pa.) registered five of the final six goals to grab a 6-5 advantage at halftime. Simmons started the surge unassisted at 12:56 before Danielle Conwell scored the next two markers on an 8-meter tally at 15:39 and off a Ledgerwood assist at 18:08 to tie the game at 4. After Fort connected with Simmons at 21:02, Simmons feed Ledgerwood at 24:20 for a 6-4 margin.
Rufolo stopped the 5-0 run with an unassisted score at 25:11 to complete her hat trick and send the Mountaineers to halftime down one goal.
Price and Semler each scored on their own at 30:54 and 32:12 to give Mount St. Mary's a 7-6 lead. Simmons tied the game at 7 on a free-position marker at 33:20, but the Mount scored the next nine goals to cruise to its ninth-straight victory against the Loretto program.
Aly Jost (Abington, Md./Bel Air) paced the defense with three ground balls, two draw controls and a caused turnover while Rufolo had a team-high two caused miscues.
Mount St. Mary's returns to Waldron Family Stadium for two games to wrap up the regular season. Quinnipiac comes to town on Thursday at 4 p.m. to start the homestand.

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is reinventing itself with a promising operating system, two new smartphones and a name change.
The question now is whether it'll be enough to attract new customers and win back those who long ago ditched their BlackBerrys for rival smartphones.
During BlackBerry's glitzy global launch event Wednesday that included an appearance by singer Alicia Keys, Chief Executive Thorsten Heins quickly set out to dispel notions that the company was on its way out. Many consumers and analysts have derided BlackBerry as a has-been smartphone maker struggling to stay afloat.
"We have definitely been on a journey of transformation," Heins told a crowd of reporters and bloggers in New York. "Today is not the finish line. It's the starting line."

Sunday breakfast: buttermilk pancakes with bananas, nuts & maple syrup
Buttermilk pancakes with sliced bananas, toasted nuts and warm maple syrup
(Petipannkookid vahtrasiirupi, pähklite ja banaanidega)
The quantities below will feed two, but can be easily multiplied by 2 or 3 to feed a crowd.
100 grams plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1-2 Tbsp sugar
150 ml buttermilk or kefir
1 large egg
25 grams butter, melted
sunflower oil or butter for frying
To serve:
1 banana, sliced
25 grams of nuts (pecans, sliced almond, walnuts are all good), toasted until aromatic and golden
maple syrup, heated
Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl.
Whisk the buttermilk, egg and melted butter in another bowl, then mix into the dry ingredients. Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium, add a bit of oil or butter.
Take about 2 Tbsp of pancake batter for each pancake and fry in small batches on both sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
Keep pancakes warm in a cool oven or under a piece of foil (or do what my Mum does - she always makes one large pancake at the end and puts on top of the small ones to keep them warm).
To serve the pancakes, layer them with sliced bananas and toasted nuts, and pour over the maple syrup.
Forks and knives are optional:)

Oh and I like the layout, very spring-like.

Oh my god. You just made me SO hungry. Not a good thing at 6.43.. I definitely won't have time to make *that* for breakfast.. or maybe.. hm..

Lovely! The funny thing is that I made pancakes for last Sunday as well :-) Mine were with quark, but I was to lazy to post about it yesterday.
I will definately have to try yours next Sunday :-)

hi pille, i'll go without fork and knife ;) that really looks like the stuff of roll-up-pick up-and-eat goodness, with the bonus of licking maple syrup off sticky fingers!
- 1:08 pm, March 14, 2006
- Pille said...
K&S - thanks!
Antti - yep, now it's my turn to tease again:)
Laura - you're absolutely right, it's that kind of breakfast. And I thought I need a somewhat brighter layout and colour scheme to mark the spring..
Thredalia - külm piim muidugi (by default). Teen tekstis sellekohase märke:)
Anne - No food is good at 6.43am, I agree. That's why career in politics remained so brief and I chose academia instead (can sleep longer in the mornings and have a leisurely breakfast:)
Dagmar - I'm planning to make apple & milk curd pancakes this weekend myself. Which reminds me that I'm looking forward to reading more about the apple cooking book you got for Jul!
J - I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I had quite a few with my fingers as well. They were just so perfectly soft and fluffy and syrup-drenched that I just could not resist forgetting all my good table manners:)

Lord allmighty! I can eat lots and generally eat too much but this sounds like 3 breakfasts for two in one. I'm sure it's delicious, though.

It is breakfast here now, almost, and what can I say? I would love to have THAT! Looks delicious!
- 11:22 am, March 15, 2006
- Pille said...
w7 - hey - I only use 1 egg to make pancake batter for 2 - that's not soooo much?! But yes, bananas and nuts and maple syrup do make it a rather rich and very indulgent breakfast. However, I'm all worth it:)
Bea - but it's not Sunday, so you must wait a few days:)

As an engineer, I'm proud of the protections we delivered by finishing IE7 but I want to set your expectations that we didn't and, never will, reach perfection. There have been a few posts on ways to steal data or spoof URLs in IE7 but they really don't detract from a very simple truth: IE7 will be more secure than IE6 was and frankly, comparisons to other browsers are still too early to be objective.
I want to talk about the "big picture" of how I will judge the progress we made in IE7 and how I think it could play out over the next months and years.
IE7 will be more secure against attacks because it has a smaller attack surface than IE6 and because the remaining attack surface was extensively re-engineered to be more secure. When you look at HD Moore's month of browser bugs, he was able to find a significant number of crashing bugs in IE6 by attacking extensions like ActiveX controls. IE7 reduced the attack surface by disabling most ActiveX controls on the system and therefore none of the crashes worked against IE7 by default. Every day of that month counts as an example of how IE7 is more secure than IE6 was and we continue to see bugs that affect IE6 that don't affect IE7.
Reducing attack surface is always a good security strategy but the security research community will double-down their efforts on our remaining attack surface and on non-default configurations. That means that there will be security bugs and we will build fixes for those bugs. MSXML is an ActiveX control that's installed and used by many applications and as you saw earlier today, we just released a security update for versions 4 and 6 of that control. This update doesn't apply to Windows Vista or Windows XP by default because the vulnerable versions of MSXML were never installed with Windows or IE. So if you don't have them installed, you're not exposed to the attack. If you're not sure, don't worry as Windows Update will install the correct update for you if needed.
There's also a redirect bug in MHTML, an Outlook Express protocol for handling HTML files formatted for email. In this case, an attacker can redirect an URL through MHTML to try to steal your data from another site. The MHTML protocol is built by Microsoft but since it's not a part of the IE product we wouldn't just include the updated version in IE7, any more than IE7 would install a patch for the Windows Media Player.
While we're waiting for the fix to the MHTML bug, I should point out that this it isn't likely to impact many real customers. For an attacker to steal your data with this bug, they have to know almost exactly how you access your data. For example, you are probably safe from this bug if the attacker doesn't what sites you use for banking. If you aren't actually logged into your banking site when the attack hits, you won't be an interesting target at all. And if other users report these sites to the phishing filter, IE would navigate you away from the confirmed phishing site further reducing the chances that you'll lose something interesting.
You also may have heard about the address bar spoofing bug. The bug works because the address bar now gets focus when you open a new tab or window to about:blank, and by default, the selection is scrolled all the way to the end of the URL. The idea of putting the focus in the address bar was intended to make it easy for you to start typing the address of a site that you want to visit.
In the spoof scenario, as soon as you click inside the page, the address bar scrolls back to the left jarringly and shows the real address of the page. That means that this spoof requires that the user have their guard down. I spoke with the team about this bug and they are upset that it got through the process but it also highlights how much every browser still depends on users to inspect URLs that could be misleading or convoluted. We're looking into the right fix but I think the change to show the address bar for all windows in IE7 is still a step forward in security from IE6. We're also investigating new ways to make it easy for users to identify sites such as the EV certificates that Kelvin posted about last week. In the meantime, phishers will still be up against our Phishing Filter. The Phishing Filter team reports they had navigated customers away from over 1.2 M phishing sites as of 11/3.
I know that expectations are high for this release and I think we should keep them high but it's still software so we have to be prepared for some bugs and the related fixes. George Ou wrote a post about how these flaws in the latest generation browsers fit in context of the previous versions. I feel good that customers running IE7 have protections against threats like the Direct Animation or VML attacks that came out in September and that the Phishing Filter is catching crooks in the act. I think that many serious Security and IT professionals will embrace the benefits of IE7, recognize the comparative benefits and understand that the software industry does have to practice constant continuing improvement as the state of security research advances.

Rising student debt gets its turn in the political spotlight this week, with President Barack Obama unveiling an executive action on Monday and also throwing his weight behind a bill letting borrowers refinance at lower interest rates.
The executive action, which will expand a law capping borrowers' repayments at 10% of their monthly income, will be the easy part of Democrats' midterm-election strategy to help students with debt. The harder part is the bill, authored by Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren: analysts say it won't go anywhere since its taxing of millionaires is a non-starter for congressional Republicans.
Obama's executive action would expand the "Pay As You Earn" program. That program right now isn't available to students who borrowed before October 2007 or who haven't borrowed since October 2011. By expanding the program to loans regardless of origination date, the White House says the goal is to help an extra five million federal direct student loan borrowers. One catch: the new plan won't be available to more borrowers until December 2015.
Obama doesn't need Congress for this, but he would for the bill he'll be endorsing. Sen. Warren's proposal would let anyone with either government-backed or private student loans refinance into a government-backed loan at today's interest rates. The trouble for the bill is that it includes a surtax on incomes of $1 million and above, the so-called Buffett tax. Analysts at both Guggenheim Securities and Height Analytics say that the tax makes the bill extremely difficult to pass. But there's a broader political point, says Chris Krueger of Guggenheim in a note on Monday:
The legislation is unlikely to move in the Senate and has almost no chance in the House though is an anchor of the Democratic midterm playbook and will be in the headlines all year. This Democratic pivot to student loan forgiveness is entirely political and is not designed to become law but rather to be used as a wedge issue in the midterm elections. The Warren Bill is controversial not only for its policy, but also its offset (surtax on those making over $1M), so even if you hold all 55 Democrats, you still need to locate 5 Republicans, which seems very unlikely – and it will face withering criticism in the GOP-controlled House.
Even with the Warren bill's dim chances, expect to hear more about student loans this week — and before November. Senate Democrats have made college affordability part of their 2014 election-year agenda, which they've dubbed a "Fair Shot for Everyone." That same agenda includes raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
Also on the student-loan front: Obama on Tuesday will take questions on the social-networking site Tumblr about college affordability and student loans.
— Robert Schroeder
