That's a good improvement to the template, and you've obviously read our docs because you've improved them too. However, I'm not sure if you've seen the wisdom of Template:Duplicate and Template:Merged.
Tip 706 Make html auto-readable in vim was flagged with {{Duplicate|1005}}. If you think that all useful content from tip 706 has been copied to tip 1005, the correct procedure would be to edit tip 706 and change the "Duplicate" to "Merged" so it reads {{Merged|1005}}.
That will automatically add {{Delete}} (and a reason for the delete, namely that the content has been merged to tip 1005).
If you think tip 706 is unhelpful for current Vim, just flag it as Merged (i.e. you have copied all useful content – there wasn't any). Sometimes when I think it would be useful to add an extra explanation (like what you put in tip 706), I would just type it in, using bold text, at the top (without bothering to improve Template:Merged to accept a parameter because the tip is going to be deleted in a couple of weeks anyway).
When merging tips, I try to merge to the tip that is the most sensible for the current Vim. When there's not much reason to prefer a particular tip, I keep the smaller tip number (it was first).
BTW I would use the "minor edit" flag a little differently. If you flag a tip to be deleted, you have only done a small amount of editing, but it's not really a minor edit. As I understand it, flagging an edit as minor means that other editors can ignore the edit because it's just some inconsequential typo or link fix, etc (something uncontroversial). I wouldn't regard adding a delete template, or even a dodgy template, as minor. --JohnBeckett 05:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey there Carpetsmoker! Looks like John beat me to a lot of what I wanted to say (one of these days, John... ;-)), so I'll be brief. I really like what you've done to the delete and dodgy templates! I've been wanting something like that for a while...it sure beats adding the template AND a comment AND something to the candidates for deletion talk page. I also like how well you're embracing the "be bold" policy we like to foster here. We have a lot of tips that can certainly use fixing or pruning! I just had a few things I wanted to mention, and I'll be on my way...most of them John has mentioned already, but I'd like to add that when a tip doesn't work for you, it is often a good idea to discuss it on the tip's comments section, the vim-l mailing list, or an active user's talk page before flagging it dodgy or delete. Most tips here either work for someone or worked at one point in time. Other than that, see John's comments above, and keep up the good work!

New tipsEdit
I would appreciate help deciding the fate of proposed new tips. If you have a look at Vim_Tips_Wiki:New_tips you will see the idea. Click the 2007 and the January links to see examples of lists of new tips we have previously handled.
We need to process February and March.
February is a bit of a problem because quite a few tips were copied from the IRC #vim web site by its owner Robert Melton aka metacosm. Metacosm had some proposals for the Vim Tips wiki – see the February mailing list archive. (BTW you might like to join that vim-l mailing list.)
I'm thinking of leaving Metacosm's tips for another time. A few of them are weak and/or duplicates of current tips, but I'm not going to do anything brutal with them at the moment. I'm hoping Metacosm has struck a temporary snag and will return here in due course, and I would like to involve him in any pruning of his tips.
It should be fairly easy to decide on the remaining tips. However, I really need someone else so there are at least two people agreeing to keep or delete a proposed new tip. Fritzophrenic has been extremely helpful, but he has let me know that he'll be super busy elsewhere for a while. So, please see if you'd like to offer an opinion on the above February and March pages.
If you want to reply to this message, please do so here. Thanks. --JohnBeckett 05:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Author creditEdit
In VimTip1005, you were presumably trying to be fair and added "and others" to the Author field to indicate that the current tip contains ideas from other people.
As a general rule, I wouldn't bother changing the Author. In some cases, I have added an extra name or two, but that has to be pretty rare. As an example of when I did this, see VimTip1. In that case, the original author's contribution was pretty minimal (essentially "press * to search"), and I merged in tip 5 which had some actual content, so I added tip 5's author (particularly since tip 5 is now deleted, and I had been in email contact with that author about some related issues).
Hundreds of tips have already been extensively modified, and we've kept the original author to acknowledge the person who first went to the trouble of uploading a tip on the topic. It's usually unhelpful to readers, and a waste of time for editors, to track the author. If we want to add "and others" we could do that in Template:TipImported and Template:TipNew (I wouldn't advise that – it's just noise).
I hope you don't mind me adding comments like this from time to time – of course it's only my opinion. One reason I do this is that I might use the material later in some sort of recommended policy document. If you have any doubts or disagreements, please reply here. --JohnBeckett 02:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
No, please do add these comments, don't worry about my ego or whatever, I just want to help make this wiki better and more useful.
-- User:Carpetsmoker 13:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Keep the Comments sectionEdit
You improved VimTip1005 and replaced the "Comments" heading with something that was appropriate for the particular comment that followed.
However, we want every tip to have ==Comments== at the end. See the discussion guidelines.
The "Comments" is intended as a small hint to readers that they are welcome to add stuff to the tip (although we will remove fluff in due course – not soon after the comment was added unless it's really misguided, because we want to encourage participation). --JohnBeckett 02:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
You marked VimTip1005 as dodgy because the Perl code didn't work on your system. I would take a rather different approach. I'm pretty sure the body of the tip (under "Simple search & replace") does work (not recently tested). Therefore it's not appropriate to label the whole tip as dodgy. Suppose the Perl code does not work. In that case, put a bold para in front of it reporting what you found. If a couple of other people (or one Vim/Perl expert) reach the same conclusion, one of them can just delete that section.
However, the tip is worthwhile (some people want to encode/decode html entities). I would mark a tip as dodgy only if the tip is completely misguided, or has very doubtful content (say a script that could easily accidentally delete stuff), or which applies only to obsolete versions (say a tip on some do-it-yourself spell checker).
BTW I just tried the Perl version on a Windows Vim 7.1 system with +perl/dyn and it worked correctly on the first attempt. --JohnBeckett 02:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I didn't have +perl, which is why it didn't work, I recompiled with perl and it worked, do'h.
-- User:Carpetsmoker 13:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
VimTip1241 and VimTip505Edit
I agree that it's best to prune out misguided tips, and clearly the body of tip 1241 needs to be deleted. However, before marking it for deletion, I would wonder whether the wiki should have a tip on this topic. If "yes", I would either add a {{Todo}}, or brutally edit the tip.
It would be easy to argue that we don't need a whole tip on the fact that gq} will reformat the next para. However, the whole point of the Vim Tips wiki is that people do overlook gems like that. Consider the poor author who might have spent a whole day writing that pointless script!
I like how you renamed VimTip1005 to just "HTML entities". We might consider making another page with title like "HTML encoding" that is just a link to tip 1005. Then readers have a good chance of finding the useful info. Something like that should probably be done with tip 1241.
I'm inclined to think that a whole (short) tip on gq} probably is worthwhile.
Similar reasoning may apply to tip 505 Email from Vim. I'm not going to argue much for the retention of tip 505, but I will point out that we probably should have a tip on this topic even if it's just a list of links to mail clients that work with Vim. --JohnBeckett 02:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, some tip about gq and related commands would be good, I just assumed it existed because it's so obvious.
But I would be more inclined to make a new tip instead of modifying tip1241, modifying tip1241 would involve deleting all but 6 characters, renaming the page, and changing the category's ... so in effect it would be like making a new tip.
Tip505 just mentions that you can use Vim with pine, I never used pine but most console programs just launch whatever EDITOR is set too ... It's more than obvious that you can set EDITOR to vim in order to use Vim...
For other applications this may not be so easy or obvious, and a tip could be created for those pages...
-- User:Carpetsmoker 03:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Well you have convinced me on tip 505. But please bear in mind my suggestion that we should try to retain the little nuggets of info that are still helpful to Vim 7 users – even the hapless users who think hjkl is silly.
Many readers like to browse tips precisely to pick up some helpful comment. So, I wouldn't try too hard to integrate all comments, and I wouldn't worry if a tip ends up with very little content. Perhaps it will be expanded later. Or in a year we can decide to merge or delete it. But keep useful content while we're still trying to get the tips into a presentable state.
Also, I would far prefer to drastically edit a tip, changing its content and title and categories, than to make a new one. Apart from the "why delete a page and its history, and create turbulence with new tips" factor, it will be a while before I'm ready to give up the VimTipNumber pages, so a couple of trivial points on my mind are that I don't want too many holes in the numbering system, and I don't want the links from the old tips on vim.org to break unnecessarily. --JohnBeckett 05:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to mention that Tip505 is, with a score of -47, the worst rated tip (literally).
Ehm, anyway ...
Ok, it's a bit of a personal preference, I would be more inclined to just /dev/null "bad" tips and create new ones, it seems easier to me (You could convert a bike to a car, but building a car from scratch would be easier).
Any (well, most anyway) approaches have their ad- and disadvantages, I understand your points and I'll consider them in future edits
-- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
VimTip827 and VimTip845Edit
Has VimTip827 really been merged to VimTip1312? I don't want to take the time to think about this at the moment (and I'm pretty ignorant in that area), but the following content from 827 looks useful:
- XTerm supports 256 colors when compiled with the --enable-256-color configure option. To actually enable the colors set the TERM environment variable to TERM=xterm-256color
- Some of the colorschemes, like inkpot, support the 256 color format.
The comment on "256-color terminal for Windows" might also be useful, although I would be quite happy to delete it as it's just a link to a product which presumably could be found with Google if someone needed it.
Also, I'm wondering if the one line from VimTip845 should be in 1312:
- setenv TERM xterm-color (and mention the .cshrc for SecureCRT?)
I'm probably being too picky, but I feel I should draw your attention to these issues before you make a final decision. --JohnBeckett 02:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
TERM doesn't need to be set to "xterm-256color" or "xterm-color" for 256 colors to work in vim, just "xterm" will work fine in most cases.
I considered adding the --enable-256-color, but most systems enable this by default anyway and http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/ (linked in the tip page) also explains this.
In any case, IMHO people should refer to their terminal emulator's documentation to see the notes on 256 color support ... This info could be added but I like to keep tips short and to the point, you can use links to vim helpfiles and/or webpages for more detailed instructions.
The Inkpot colorscheme (and others) and mentioned on this page already.
Why keep the comments about AboluteTelnet? It's borderline spam. There are a number of windows terminal emulators/ssh clients that support 256 colors, in fact I think you will have trouble finding one that does *not* support 256 colors. (And the same applies to terminal emulators for UNIX systems).
.cshrc is a (t)csh startup file, and has absolutly nothing to do with Vim, SecureCRT, or xterm.
-- User:Carpetsmoker 03:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
OK I accept what you're saying. In general, however, if it were the case that tweaking something like .cshrc would be helpful to some Vim users, I think it could be mentioned. --JohnBeckett 05:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I added some generic 256color XTerm notes. -- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Carpetsmoker. I see you've moved a few tips and fixed the 'VimTipNr' redirects. That's great. What do you think about the [[Category:VimTipRedirects]] that we have on the end of each one?
They were done by our original admin (User:bastl), but I've been wondering for a while whether they serve any purpose. After the import, the VimTipNr pages were in a dreadful state because many tips did not exist, or were deleted, and a few other things. As part of my bot work, I cleaned them up. The code checks whether each VimTipNr page has the expected syntax. That check expects the content to be on a single line with no redundant spaces.
For completeness, I'll mention that each VimTipNr page appears in one of these:
- Category:OriginalDuplicate
- Category:OriginalMissing
- Category:Removed
- Category:VimTipRedirects
Anyway, I'm thinking that I should delete all the VimTipRedirect stuff because it is unnecessary, and just causes confusion when editing. What do you think? --JohnBeckett 05:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I agree we should move away the VimTip### stuff, it is a leftover from the old tip page and quite obsolete now, page titles are much easier to remember, and having two titles for a single page is confusing.
How should we do this? Is it feasible to write a script to do the conversion in one go? Or would it be better to move away gracefully over time?
-- User:Carpetsmoker 12:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I was using the original tip database at www.vim.org and noticed they use VimTip#### links there ...
Why is this database kept online anyway?
-- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 00:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Uh oh. I've caused some confusion. I want to retain the VimTipNr redirect pages. I'm wondering whether there is any reason to keep the category VimTipRedirect on each of the VimTipNr pages.
I suppose that in another year I might rethink this, but having a tip number is a tradition that is often handy. On vim.org, the static html can have "Previous" and "Next" links, but we can't hope to maintain navigation links using page titles. Also, the VimTipNr is a convenient shorthand, and makes a short, and easily remembered, URL for mailing lists.
Re vim.org: My guess is that Bram is going to keep those tips forever (don't know why), so the VimTipNr link that you mention is handy. --JohnBeckett 05:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, Well, the category seems rather useless, so removing it might be a good idea.
I also think it would be a good idea to use titles instead of id's as much as possible, including in templates, the numbers are confusing (title is much easier to remember), and the fact that a page has both a number and name and that both are being used even more confusing.
-- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I just deleted the VimTipsRedirect category, and have removed the links to it here. --JohnBeckett 05:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Par text reformatterEdit
The "See also" has a bad link: Text formatting. Did you have something in mind for this? --JohnBeckett 05:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I was writing this tip but had to go, I will finish it later today or tomorrow.
-- User:Carpetsmoker 10:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Category linesEdit
Many months ago we had an argument about where lines like [[Category:Moving]] should be placed (I'm looking at this in VimTip6).
Someone who knew a lot more about such things than the rest of us was very insistent that category lines should be at the bottom "so you can do category sort overriding". I think that had something to do with the category VimTip that is included by the TipImported template. He also said that the "at the end" rule (with some exceptions) is how Wikipedia does things.
Anyway, I'm not concerned about sort overriding, but we did decide on a convention of placing all category lines at the very bottom of each tip, as described in the category guidelines (mainly so we wouldn't have to make a decision on each page we edited).
I've been wondering about that choice recently because newbies find the category lines to be quite confusing when appending a comment. Perhaps the categories should be just before the ==Comments== line? Then they would not cause distress when someone wants to add a comment.
I think you probably have more wiki experience than the rest of us at the moment. What do you think? It could be argued that it doesn't matter ... but like many Vim users I care about such things<g>. --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I added category's to the bottom, this is what wikipedia does and what I'm used to, but I remember reading a page which said that categories should be added at the top, so I started adding them to the top instead.
I can't find the page right now though ... It's of course also possible that I just misread or something...
I don't know about the overriding, but I do know that putting them below the Comments section will make them prone to accidental deletion and/or they will end up in weird places (i.e. in between comments).
And VimWiki != Wikipedia, most pages on wikipedia look very different, so (sometimes) it makes sense to use different formatting guidelines here.
-- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Moving pagesEdit
I'm very happy with what you're doing, but I thought I should mention that I have a method for doing bulk renaming of tips. We used this system to rename hundreds of tips. The idea is to prepare a list of proposed changes, then discuss it, then have a bot do the actual renaming and updating of the VimTipNr redirect pages.
Of course mucking about with scripts is never quite as easy as one hopes, so by all means continue making the manual changes you want. However, if you ever want to plan changing lots of titles, you could contact me. --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, moving a page manually is just as easy, but I will keep it in mind for any batch edits later. -- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Merging pagesEdit
Your edit of tip 754 Highlighting source between matching curly braces says that it has been merged to tip 6 Moving to matching braces.
I quite agree that however useful the Ruby script might be to some people, it is too esoteric, so I'm quite happy to delete this tip. However, there is useful info in the comments that should be copied to (say) tip 6. I'm not going to try looking at rainbow_parenthesis (links to external pages aren't generally useful IMHO). But the two simple comments at the bottom must be retained somewhere (v% or %v% and vaB or viB). Sure, users should know this stuff, but they don't (and I need to be reminded quite often).
I can see that the two comments don't really tie in with tip 6. So just copy them in as a single comment, something like "You can select the text between braces using the following". No need to polish it at the moment, but keep the info as extra flavour for readers. --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I added v% to VimTip6, I suppose I could also add %v% but I thought this would be very obvious.
I didn't add vaB and viB to VimTip6 because it's practically the same as %v(%).
I didn't add { } because I personally never found these particularly useful (I always use %).
Of course, feel free to disagree...
-- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
See also (not See Also)Edit
Perhaps I'm transferring my love of consistency in programs a little too strongly to the wiki, but we sort-of settled on a capitalisation convention of "Titles like this" and not "Titles Like This". Again, it was claimed that "See also" is the preferred Wikipedian way (although no doubt there are many talk pages debating whether "See Also" is better).
Again, I feel compelled to draw this to your attention, and am happy for you to embrace or ignore the suggestion. Sorry if I ever mention it again (but I probably will – I love consistency!). --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Really? I hadn't noticed. -- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
That was a good idea to add Template:TipProposed to Launch files in new tabs under Unix. I just want to let you know that I run a bot every now and then to add them automatically (it fills in all the fields, although I would have had to correct the author manually in this case). So don't feel you need to do this. --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I suspected something like that, but I wasn't sure so I added it anyway, can't hurt right -- Carpetsmoker (Talk) 07:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Carpetsmoker – With all my other comments, I thought I should clarify one point: It's great having you here! Thanks for all your work. --JohnBeckett 05:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I removed a "dodgy" template you added Edit
Translate_between_single_line_and_block_comments had a "dodgy" template with a reason of "doesn't work" or something similar. I tested the mappings in the tip to try to get them working, and found that they worked as given, so I removed the dodgy template. If the mappings still do not work for you, please list the exact failures in the comments section so that we can improve on the tip. Thanks, --Fritzophrenic 04:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

The new MSI Wind Top 2420 3D is apparently the first All-in-One PC that offers stereo 3D support and that also has a Multi-touch capable touchscreen integrated. The PC is equipped with 24-inch Full HD 1080p 3D-capable 120Hz LED backlit LCD panel, and has an integrated Intel Core i7 CPU and whatis interesting the ATI-based Radeon HD 5730 DirectX 11-capable discrete graphics card. We got a hint about that model a while ago thanks to iZ3D who listed some information about it on their website, so this means the AIO PC will be actually the first to offer stereoscopic 3D capabilities with shutter glasses and using ATI-based GPU thanks to the iZ3D driver. There are still some details unknown, but since the AE2420 3D-046US 3D-capable PC is already available for same from today in North America, we are probably not going to have to wait too much before someone gets it for a review or buys it and shares more information on the stereoscopic 3D implementation and capabilities it offers.
MSI AE2420 3D-046US PC Specifications
Display – 23.6″ Multi-Touch Widescreen (16:9), 120Hz LED back-light panel, 1920×1080
Graphics Card – ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 Discrete Graphic, 1GB VRAM
3D Glasses – One pair of Active Shutter Glasses
Processor – Intel Core i7-860 (2.8GHz)
Chipset – Intel H55 Express Chipset
Memory – 4GB DDR3 800MHz on board
HDD – 1TB SATA Hard Disk Drive
Optical Drive – Blu-Ray / DVD Burner Combo
Network – 802.11b/g/n Wireless, 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN
Operating System – Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Speakers – Built-in 2×5W, Hi-Fi 7.1 channel with THX TRUSTUDIO PRO
Multimedia – 1.3MP Webcam with Microphone, 6-in-1 Card Reader (support SD/MMC/MS/XD), 2x USB 3.0 ports, 4x USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, Wireless multimedia keyboard and mouse
Power Supply – 180W Power Supply
Dimensions – 21.81″ x 15.89″ x 2.42″
Amazon already has the MSI AE2420 3D-046US AIO PC listed with a price of $1,799.99 USD. The configuration seems quite Ok for multimedia use like movies and photos in 3D and a little gaming in stereo 3D mode, but the Radeon HD 5730 graphics card is not the best choice for primary gaming solution even when not in stereo 3D mode, let alone for playing comfortably games in S3D mode with high-details and with Full HD resolution.

text: mongraffito 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 hello hippies, Im a painter but recently (1 month ago) I took to clay modeling and love it! Im a figurative artists so my small statues were heads or whole body subjects. Till now I used self drying clay (Das and Darwi, that's what I found here in Holland). I bought M Farraut's video and understand how to void a head. All my full body statues were built on an armature. Long story short... How does one make a clay statue (20 inches max) which will be fired? I cant see how to extract the armature and was thinking to mold the clay around a wax " armature", that would eventually melt. Im sure there are other methods and I hope anyone here will take the time to send me a link to the answer or describe in a few words. Sincere thanks!

LA Inspiration
all photos from Mr. Newton
Soon enough Tom and I will be a mile high and on our way to sunny Los Angeles. It will be our first visit to LA since we left three years ago. I can't believe it's been that long since we lived there! We'll be catching up with lots of friends, visiting all our old favorite restaurants, hitting up the Griffith Observatory (it was closed for renovations while we lived there) and just generally chilling out for a week. Of course I'll also be doing a tour of all my favorite vintage shops that I miss. And perhaps the best part... spending a night out in the desert!
I'm pretty excited, if you haven't gathered that already. I've been collecting images of things I'd like to wear while I'm there. Outfits that just seem a bit out of place in Lancaster or ones it's just been too dang cold to wear! All of these photos were snapped over the weekend at Coachella and are just the sorts of things I'll be packing. That second one on Tali Lennox is pretty much my LA dream outfit. And unless I'm crazy, she's wearing this dress. Perhaps I'll have to make that dream a reality.

In a case that could have major ramifications for trade-marks law in Canada, Justice Hughes of the Federal Court has concluded that, when a trade-mark appears on a computer screen website in Canada, regardless where the information may have originated from or be stored, constitutes for Trade-Marks Act purposes, use and advertising in Canada.
This strong conclusion comes from Homeaway.com, Inc. v. Martin Hrdlicka, 2012 FC 1467, a decision released December 12, 2012. In this case, the Applicant sought to expunge a trade-mark registered in 2010 by the Respondent Hrdlicka. On the Application, the Respondent represented himself.

Movies We Like
Something Wild
What happened to Jonathan Demme? He used to make the best movies. I'm talking about the films he did before Silence of the Lambs changed his life and career options for good. Perhaps regretting his film's instigation of a wave of serial killer-based entertainments, he got very high-minded after Silence of the Lambs and kept returning with more Oscar bait in the form of Philadelphia, which continued his winning streak, and Beloved, which did not. Since then he has alternated between director-for-hire projects and small scale documentaries, before returning to something like his old style with last year's Rachel Getting Married. But nothing he has done in years has been as good as the comedies he did in the late 1980s. They were exuberant life-affirming spectacles. He brought a New York downtowner's aesthetic to mainstream comedy and lifted up a dreary end of the decade—a time best remembered for comedies that celebrated getting rich or blowing shit up—with an offbeat sensibility. He was like an American Pedro Almodovar in love with the idea of New York as a melting pot of bohemians and working class immigrants, all tuned in to the same Afrobeat soundtrack. His New York was full of loud colors, Jamaican beauty salons, and cool people—one big punky reggae party.
Something Wild is his best film. It's a film that celebrates a life lived without rules before segueing into darker territory exploring the same themes. Jeff Daniels plays Charlie, a nice guy yuppie in Manhattan that gets his kicks walking out on his lunch bill. Melanie Griffith is Lulu—she's got the famous Louise Brooks bob and lots of Voodoo priestess jewelry on. She's an edgy chick who catches on to Daniels's pathetic act of rebellion immediately. She threatens to rat him out if he doesn't get in her car and see where the day takes them. She's going to teach him a thing or two about wild. Pretty soon they're naked in a hotel room and she's making him call his office while she otherwise distracts him. The scene is playful and sexy, rather than obvious, because Lulu isn't objectified as Charlie's "manic pixie dream girl" who teaches him to live; instead she's the one in charge. The scene is more about Lulu's fetishizing of Charlie's straightness than anything, though we get the feeling that Charlie has been looking for someone like Lulu all along. It's the complete opposite of how most straight male directors would have played the scene and just one of the details that make this film unique.
Lulu has plans for Charlie. She takes him to back to Pennsylvania for a high school reunion and passes him off as her husband to the people in her life that she left behind. She has an unexplained need to prove something to them. Charlie goes along with it because he's feeling good for the first time in years. But Charlie isn't the perfect suburban family man he pretends to be and Lulu is using him to a certain extent, even as he falls in love with her.
Even after we have left the noise of New York behind Demme still finds plenty of color and vitality on the road to inspire him. There's an openness to how he views people that doesn't stop with the urban dwellers he normally sets his camera on. He has a humanist's view of America and the brief scenes that mark Charlie and Lulu's road trip to Pennsylvania and the people they come across are sweet and quirky without being cloying. Demme's movies always feel like family affairs and there are cameos from a who's who of fellow underground superstars like John Sayles and John Waters, not to mention a fantastic appearance by wiry East Coast post-punk band The Feelies.
The high school reunion is one of the film's best scenes. Demme has a keen sense for how different types of people relate to one another and the scene has a gentle dreamlike quality. Charlie is introduced to people from Lulu's past and gets into the act of pretending that he and Lulu have a life and a history together. Music is of upmost importance in all of Demme's films and he cast The Feelies as the reunion's house band. Their music gives the scene an odd kind of romance and it seems like the movie is going to get slightly predictable with the boy and girl finding out they're perfect together. But just as The Feelies go into a moody slow number a bad reminder of Lulu's past appears in the form of Ray (Ray Liotta), her scary ex-boyfriend. He floats into the story like a bad dream of her past and, on a dime the film turns much, much darker. Ray is the kind of guy you want to avoid at all costs. He's mean, he's a bully, and right from the start Ray hates Charlie. He latches himself onto Lulu for the night and turns their lives into a living hell for the remainder of the movie. Where Lulu gave Charlie a new lease on life, Ray threatens to obliterate it. Ray is a force of nature. He lives without rules. He's the dark side of wild. Charlie has to confront Ray's assault on their lives and has to tap into a side of himself that he didn't think he had. At first glance this weird detour into thriller territory and the film's incredibly brutal climax seem like they're from an altogether different movie, but while Demme has a feel for gently offbeat comedy, he still grasps the flipside of Lulu's reckless joy de vivre in the character of Ray and he gives it its due.
The ending of the film is bittersweet, like a hangover after a good party, but of course the leads are going to get together and live happily ever after. Demme uses the last third of the film to explore the dark side of wild but he still believes in his characters and sees the world as a fundamentally good place. Something Wild and Married to the Mob, another Demme film from this era, gave the mainstream a nice kick while they were around and it's a shame that he hasn't come back to this kind of material. Maybe he doesn't see the world, or New York at least, as the punky melting pot that he used to, but his inspired view of life is sorely missed right now.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Currently playing at Stamford's Avon Theater is the Palestinian-language film, "Omar."
Nominated for an Oscar it portrays the Israeli occupation with Israel as the "bad guys" — like watching a World War II film that pitches the Germans as the good guys and the Allies as villains.
A tense thriller about betrayal, trust, and loyalty. Omar (Bakri) is a Palestinian who routinely climbs over the separation wall to ostensibly meet up with his friends, Tarek (Hourani) and Amjad (Bisharat), but he really is looking for an excuse to meet with Tarek's sister, Nadja (Lubany).
Omar and his friends fancy themselves as resistance fighters, and one night they head out and kill an Israeli soldier. Unfortunately, the next day he gets pinched, and winds up in prison, where he inadvertently admits to knowing something about the killing, giving guards leverage into getting him to collaborate.
Thus begins a dangerous game for Omar as he attempts to either play his Israeli handler, Rami (Zuaiter) or betray his cause. The choices that Omar and his friends make, the reasons they make them, and how they live out their lives is horrifying, stressful, and so totally wrong on so many levels that it honestly hurts to watch this film, even though it really needs to be watched.
The movie is In Arabic and Hebrew, with English subtitles.
The Avon Theater is located at 272 Bedford Street, Stamford.
"Omar" is not rated and runs through March 8. It stars Adam Bakri, Leem Lubany, Iyad Hoorani , Samer Bisharat and Waleed Zuaiter and was directed by Hany Abu-Assad.
Norwalk resident Robert J. Sodaro has been reviewing films for some 30 years. During that time, his movie reviews and articles have appeared in numerous print publications, as well as on the web. Subscribe to receive regular articles and movie reviews through his website .

Terry Denery, MathWorks
Sam Mirsky, MathWorks
In this webinar, you'll learn how MATLAB & Simulink are utilized in the development of an embedded control system including implementation and testing on hardware. Our demonstration will emphasize how to design, simulate and test a complex system that incorporates multiple domains such as mechanical, electrical and hydraulic – that are typically isolated across different software platforms and thus not simulated in a common framework.
During our presentation, we'll demonstrate how to:
About the Presenters:
Terry Denery is an expert in Modeling. He runs hundreds, if not thousands, of simulations to pursue the best design of electrical, mechanical, and control systems.
Sam Mirsky's forte is working with the hardware; these two skill sets complement each other perfectly. Using MathWorks tools Sam can rapidly prototype Terry's best design, and prove whether it will really work or not. This could not be done without good modeling and rapid conversion of these models into real hardware systems. Together, Terry and Sam will show how to do this in MATLAB & Simulink, the platform for Model-Based Design.

Sorry for the post just to ask for something. :/
Does anyone have a copy of Automation 308v2 that they'd be willing to send my way? I could swear I snagged it from Dbug's site back when they rereleased this menu, but it's not on any of my drives. I suspect I lost it in a hard drive crash a few years ago.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/10/2011 (3080 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Colombia has always been on my bucket list, but its description as beautiful but dangerous
had long held me back.
Then last year I met a young American aid worker who had bused through the country and couldn't wait to return. Perhaps the government's newly minted slogan "The only risk is wanting to stay," which accompanies slick TV images of fine colonial cities, deserted beaches, festivals and magical mountain scenery, has some credibility.
It's true that cocaine production has not slowed, but with financial help from the U.S. government and the 1993 killing of Pablo Escobar, head of the Medellin drug cartel, (no relation to the football player, I'm told), a determined President Alvaro Uribe at least managed to drive "La Violencia" into the mountains and his successor, Juan Manuel Santos, has maintained that resolve. Colombians can finally enjoy their wonderful country.
Bogota, at 2,600 metres, is the third-highest capital in South America after La Paz and Quito. It is cold and wet when we land.
My hotel transport has failed to show, leaving me vulnerable to taxi touts who circle like hungry wolves.
Eventually, I submit and am soon barrelling through the night at breakneck speed with a driver who speaks no English. The meter is off!
La Candelaria, the old town, is the tourist zone, but streets are deserted when the driver finally points to a narrow doorway wedged between steel-shuttered shops.
He takes 22,000 pesos from my wad, which turns out to be around $12. An honest fare for a 40-minute drive.
When I venture downstairs the next morning, I discover the Hotel Lido, despite being jammed between a bunch of men's tailoring shops, is right in the middle of the action.
I clamber over street vendors hawking images of the Virgin of Guadeloupe for sale next to those of heavily augmented blonds, fake Christmas trees, papaya and pineapple sliced and sold in little plastic bags, freshly baked cheese buns, boxer shorts, tiny cups of café tinto (black) poured from rows of Thermos flasks on wooden pushcarts, umbrellas and flowers. Smart vendors have battery-driven loudspeakers, which add to the melee.
I eat breakfast at a place up the street a block. Scrambled eggs, cheese, coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice -- $5. The friendly owner helps me through the menu while his masked assistants do their Colombian thing of constantly wiping counters and cleaning windows. Cleanliness is a high priority here.
This is Sunday and it is Ciclovía (Spanish for bike path), a weekly event in which, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., the main streets --122 kilometres of them, anyway -- are restricted to cyclists, inline skaters, dog walkers, pram-pushing families and courting couples. Bands and Michael Jackson posers entertain crowds while children draw hearts with free chalk on sidewalks. Ciclovía is so successful, it has been adopted in the other major cities.
Tourists line up to see the changing of the palace guards at 4 p.m., but rain has halted the ceremony. In the main square, Plaza de Bolivar, a man preaches peace while another offers llama rides. Children feed pigeons beside a huge Christmas tree.
After a couple of days, in need of some sun, I head to the airport. Cartagena is all it's cracked up to be -- hot, pristine and never really affected by La Violencia of the drug wars, which put so much of this wonderful country off limits to tourists for so long. It is perhaps the most perfectly preserved colonial city in all South America. In Cartagena, you will encounter narrow streets with overhanging balconies carpeted in bougainvillea, leafy squares, ancient churches, creative boutique hotels and outrageous sculptures. It is an easy place to settle into, but is Cartagena the real Colombia?
Mathieu is the delightful French, ponytailed owner of Aventure Colombia. His travel agency can arrange anything from pack trips in the Andes to river rafting. If you are looking for adventure, he's your man.
"How about a trip to Punta Gallinas, the most northerly tip of South America?" Mathieu suggests as he brings out a dog-eared photo album. Eight families of the once-feared Wayuu people live on the Upper Guajira Peninsula, a remote "handle" of land jutting into the Caribbean.
Four days later, I'm part of a group of five, squeezed into a beat-up 4x4 heading through axle-deep mud. Several trucks have become bogged down and sit at precarious angles awaiting help. It's rainy season.
We overnight in rough huts on a picture-perfect beach at Cabo de la Vella. By 7 a.m., fishermen are unloading lobsters from dugout canoes. A buyer drives down the beach with a fistful of pesos and a scale in the back of his truck.
With another 75 kilometres to our destination, we are already off the tourist grid. The road doesn't improve, but at least it's daylight. In Puerto Bolivar, small boats are held on offshore anchors to avoid being pounded onto the beach. Our bags are loaded onto a seven-metre open skiff and we begin a two-hour journey through waves big enough to ground a B.C. ferry. I search the eyes of our indigenous driver for signs of fear. He is calmly reading the wave patterns. It's all in a day's work.
We settle into a simple Wayuu life for a couple of days, sleeping in hammocks strung under a roof of dried cactus branches. We share the space with baby turtles held in inflatable children's pools until they are mature enough to be released.
In the morning, our mischievous Wayuu hosts gather us into an open truck and we head, full tilt, over rough scrubland and water holes, to the first of many incredible beaches shared only with legions of goats. After lunch, we visit a colony of pink flamingos in Bahia Hondita and amble along a beach accessible only by boat.
Our diet? If you hate lobster, you will starve here. Even a choice of freshly caught fish will come with a side of grilled lobsters.
This is a wonderful place to just chill out or bond over a beer with new or old friends and experience a remote paradise and the wonderful people who live here.
Colombia is a country of stunning variety. All three major cities -- Bogota, Medellin and Cali -- are nestled in the Andes Mountains, but each is surprisingly different.
The once infamous Medellin is my favourite. Here, central parks fill with musicians of all ages. Wondrously obese statues by homegrown,and now world-famous artist Fernando Botero are a natural backdrop for that Kodak moment. Cellphone time sellers wait for customers needing to call home.
The immaculate metro system lets slum dwellers from the surrounding hillsides reach downtown by cable car -- Metrocable. A ticket to anywhere costs about 80 cents.
Although the best beaches and a laid-back Caribbean lifestyle lie to the north, don't miss the smaller colonial towns, where time has stood still for centuries.
Nothing beats riding a horse into the Cocora Valley out of Salento. A picture-perfect town in a hilltop setting and home to 3,500 traditionally dressed locals, it is poised to burst onto the tourist scene.
Popayan reached its zenith as capital of southern Colombia in the 17th century before Cali took over. After Cartagena, it is considered to be the country's finest colonial city. It's white facades and Christmas decorations are legendary.
And if you are lucky enough to be around on a Tuesday, don't miss the market in nearby Silvia. The Guambiano people flock there in their tiny hats and blue skirts (men and women) to trade and socialize. A sight not to be missed

|Equipment Used:
These exercises should only be performed after evaluation by a qualified medical professional and under their instruction. Should you experience pain or discomfort while doing an exercise, stop immediately.
Strong abdominal muscles provide excellent support for the lower back. Lie on your back on an exercise mat. Rest your calves on a physioball (medium or large) so your legs are elevated. Doing this protects your lower back and helps flatten your lower back on the mat. Your arms are gently crossed across your chest. Using your abdominal muscles, curl up off the mat. Make sure you're not using your neck muscles to assist. Your neck should be relaxed. Lower your torso to the mat, relax a moment, and repeat.

This year it seems that we are being encouraged to buy more than ever. Companies have been starved for cash flow, and now it seems like we're being told it's our duty to buy as much as we can. But if you want to keep your own personal economy healthy into the new year, you might be trying to figure out how you can give for less.
While I'm personally skipping the holidays this year (which is probably the best way to save cash this season!) I understand that is not an option everybody wants or can try. Based on my experiences, here are some of the ways I've saved in previous years. Each of these ideas is low-impact, both financially and on the Earth's finite resources.
Buy just one thing: This is my favorite way to cut down on holiday excess and still give a meaningful present. One really well thought-out gift that will be used and loved is the goal for gift-giving, but now it seems that a hodgepodge of random stuff (with all its concurrent packaging) is becoming the norm. Inexpensive, smaller, "fun" stuff can add up quickly, and is less likely to be well-used — and more likely to be tossed into the garbage come February. Choose one great thing (and keep your receipt just in case the recipient isn't really into it).
Make it: What do you do best? Knitting, making great chocolate-chip cookies, creating a selection of homemade salad dressings. There are so many gifts that you can create if you set aside an afternoon to make them. It will cost much less than buying, and your friends and loved ones will appreciate knowing that you took the time to craft. Check out 7 things you should make not buy for inspiration.
Give a chore or treat: New parents need sleep, a workaholic probably needs a neck and shoulder massage, and those starting a new diet and exercise plan need encouragement and positivity (perhaps a free hike led by you or a super-healthy homemade meal?) What does your giftee really need? To make your gift of time fun and festive, you can make a cool card and attach something small — a small bottle of massage oil, an eyemask or a reusable water bottle to go with the offering, which will also make it seem more useful and like a real gift.
Give an experience: We all talk about things we want to do, but we don't always get a chance. A trip to your city's local baths, a river rafting trip, a cooking or dance class are often dreamed of, but not done as often as they could be since people don't tend to buy those experiences for themselves. Experience gifts are available at every level, and don't have to be restricted to venues that offer gift certificates. (You can make your own!) Low-impact, fun, and experience presents are no-waste!
Pick your own: This is an especially good idea if there are kids in your life and you're not sure what to buy them (and this could work for a friend or other relative, too). You give them a dollar amount, and they choose the store and you buy them whatever they like. An important part of the gift is that you accompany the giftee to the store, helping your niece or cousin pick out something in their favorite toy or clothing store. They will not only remember the gift, but the fun experience of shopping for it with you.

Resource guide to disk-based backup
Resource guide to disk-based backup
Disk-based backup has been making a name for itself this past year especially since costs continue to drop. SearchStorage.com's readers have come to us seeking answers on the best way to implement disk-to-disk backup and even disk-to-disk-to-tape.We tapped our own experts as well as other industry experts to put together this guide for you. A few of the topics covered are the cost of integrating and implementing disk backup, how the technology works with iSCSI SANs, hot disk-to-disk products and a peak into how and why some managers are going with disk backup.
Disk-to-disk-to-tape makes inroads
Think before you invest in disk-to-disk backup
2004 predictions: The year of disk-based backup?
SEC gives nod to some disk-based archive
SD 2003: Integrating disk into backup for fast restores
Using disk-to-disk with iSCSI SANS
SD 2003: Disk cost buster – how to leverage low-cost disk solutions
Ham radio group tunes in disk-to-disk backup
A directory of hot disk-to-disk backup products
Disk-based backup vs. tape
Plan on disk-based backup
Disk-to-disk-to-tape makes inroads
The recoverability of disk, the cost-effectiveness of tape – seems like the two working together is a no-brainer. If you are looking for an effective way to back up remote offices -- a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) setup might be an interesting way to go. This tip uncovers the limitations of D2D2T, who is offering D2D2T products and what the benefits are. Think before you invest in disk-to-disk backup
Disk-to-disk backup is a very attractive solution, especially with the introduction of several new inexpensive disk options like ATA and Serial ATA (SATA). But sometimes the older, less glamorous approach is better. Jon William Toigo explains why disk-to-disk backup might not be ready for prime time. 2004 predictions: The year of disk-based backup?
W. Curtis Preston offers his predictions for the year ahead in backup and recovery. Is disk-based backup set to explode? What about serverless backup? Where should the vendors focus their attention on with new backup products. Curtis Preston breaks it down. SEC gives nod to some disk-based archive
The SEC is starting to allow some disk-based archive methods to act as legitimate archiving tools. This bodes well for EMC and NetApp who are already have products in this market. This tip explores how disk-based backup is slowly gaining the acceptance of regulators. SD 2003: Integrating disk into backup for fast restores
Backup expert W. Curtis Preston discusses the most effective way to perform backups -- send your data to disk first and then archive to tape. The end result will be a smaller backup window and the ability to perform faster restores. Read more about Preston's plan for faster backups. Using disk-to-disk with iSCSI SANS
Looking for a low-cost solution for connecting servers to disk over IP networks? Storage networking expert Chris Poelker explains that a great way to reduce backup time and speed up restore time is to use an iSCSI storage area network (SAN) for disk-to-disk backup. SD 2003: Disk cost buster – how to leverage low-cost disk solutions
According to Ron Lovell, storage practice director at Greenwich Technology Partners, low-end storage should be made up of low-cost serial ATA (SATA) and serial-attached SCSI (SAS) drives. Learn more about the SATA and SAS technologies and who the major players are in these markets. Ham radio group tunes in disk-to-disk backup
A group representing ham radio operators now uses disk-to-disk backup. Not only is the new system more efficient, the organization's IT manager, a self-proclaimed "paranoid," sleeps a little easier at night. A directory of hot disk-to-disk backup products
When thinking of disk backup products, it's probably a pretty safe bet that you've asked yourself "what's hot and what's not." Backup expert Curtis Preston says there is a lot out there and plenty that work well with Windows. For your convenience he provides a handy link to a list of current D2D backup products. Disk-based backup vs. tape
Is your shop thinking of going the tape route for data backup? Well, before you make a move, backup expert Curtis Preston says take a look a disks first. He's been "tape" burned too many times and believes disk-based backup is the way to go, all the way. Plan on disk-based backup
As backup and recovery becomes more of a chief concern in the data center, storage managers are looking to new technologies to make the process easier. Tape isn't going away, but it will be increasingly joined by disk as a core backup technology.

A stay-at-home mom with three children, Misty Noble is the winner of a brand new, all-electric Nissan Leaf, courtesy of NBC4 and Nissan.
The win will undoubtedly help the Nobles – a busy family that shares a single car. Noble's husband drives more than 120 miles from the South Bay to Bakersfield every day for work.
But Noble's new car is more than just a set of wheels.

She said it's her chance to participate in reducing her carbon footprint and battling something she knows well: respiratory disease.
Having grown up in a smoggier version of Los Angeles, Noble suffered from severe asthma as a child. She moved away for nearly two decades and – having been back in the Southland for some three years now – her asthma is gone.
"It's nice that the air has been cleaned up in the LA area so much, and this is going to help get it even better," she said.
Noble's home soon will be outfitted – free of charge – with an electric charging system to fuel her new car.
"That was a very pleasant surprise," said Noble, who teased that she may have to unplug her hairdryer to charge the Leaf.

A protein called NEDD9—which regulates cell migration, division and survival—has been linked to tumor invasion and metastasis in a variety of cancers. Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have now shown that NEDD9 plays a surprising role in the early stages of breast tumor development by controlling the growth of progenitor cells that give rise to tumors. The findings, published in the journal Oncogene on January 14, 2013, could lead to personalized treatment strategies for women with breast cancer based on the levels of NEDD9 in their tumors.
"For several years, NEDD9 has been linked to tumor metastasis and invasion at later stages. This is the first study that really shows how important NEDD9 can be for the initiation of tumors in breast cancer, and to link this initiation process to progenitor cells," says lead study author Joy Little, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Fox Chase who works in the laboratory of senior study investigator Erica A. Golemis, PhD, Deputy Chief Scientific Officer and Vice President at Fox Chase.
In the study, Little, Golemis and their collaborators mated mice without the NEDD9 gene to mice engineered to develop HER2+ mammary tumors and unexpectedly found that these mice were largely resistant to tumor formation. Only 18% of the mice developed mammary tumors, compared with 80% of mice that had a functional NEDD9 gene. In contrast to previous research findings showing that an increase in NEDD9 levels promotes tumor aggressiveness, the researchers found that loss of NEDD9 had little effect on tumor metastasis, indicating that it is not required for this process in this specific context. Once formed, the tumors in mice lacking NEDD9 grew rapidly, suggesting that it either plays a less important role at later stages of tumor growth or tumors undergo compensatory changes that allow them to bypass the need for NEDD9.
Importantly, mice lacking NEDD9 showed a significant reduction in progenitor cell populations in the mammary gland compared with mice that had a functional NEDD9 gene. Progenitor cells from NEDD9-null mice were less likely to form three-dimensional mammospheres in culture, but proliferated at the same rate as cells from control mice. The loss of Nedd9 also made progenitor cells more sensitive to lower doses of two tumor-inhibiting drugs—a Food and Drug Administration-approved Src inhibitor called dasatinib, and a focal adhesion kinase inhibitor from a class of drugs currently being tested in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. These findings suggest that these types of drugs would more effectively control breast cancer tumors with low levels of NEDD9.
"Eventually, with a biopsy, you may be able to get a read-out of all the mutations that a tumor has, and each one would potentially dictate whether or not a certain line of therapy would work for a specific tumor," Little says. "If NEDD9 levels are higher in a particular tumor, we could potentially determine whether or not it would be more sensitive to specific inhibitors."
To follow up on this work, the researchers plan to determine the mechanisms by which NEDD9 controls tumor formation, and examine whether NEDD9 plays a similar role in early stages of other types of cancer.
Co-authors on the study include Victoria Serzhanova, Eugene Izumchenko, Brian L. Egleston, Andres J. Klein-Szanto, and Maria Shubina of Fox Chase; Erica Parise of the University of Pittsburgh; Grace Loudon of Bryn Mawr College; Sachiko Seo and Mineo Kurokawa of the University of Tokyo; and Michael F. Ochs of Johns Hopkins University.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet status for excellence three consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach.

Potassium can be found in many foods. Abnormal blood levels of potassium can be very dangerous as they may lead to serious heart arrhythmias. Kidneys regulate the metabolism of potassium, making sure that its levels are appropriate. However, when your kidneys are not working properly, you often need to limit certain foods that can increase the potassium in your system.
If you need to limit your potassium, your doctor or dietitian will tell you how many milligrams (mg) you can have each day. They will also help you design a low potassium diet.
Food Sources With Potassium
Potassium is found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables. If your doctor wants you to limit your potassium intake, you may want to consume less of the following foods that contain higher levels of potassium:
- Sweet potato
- Tomato juice, sauce, paste, and puree
- Beet greens
- Potatoes
- White beans
- Yogurt
- Canned clams
- Prune juice
- Carrot juice
- Soybeans and lima beans
- Blackstrap molasses
- Certain fish such as halibut, yellowfin tuna, Pacific cod, rainbow trout
- Winter squash
- Bananas
- Cooked spinach
- Prunes
- Dried peaches or apricots
- Milk
Food Sources Low in Potassium
There are plenty of low-potassium foods that can be substituted. This list includes some fruits and vegetables
- Apples or applesauce
- Berries, including blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries
- Green peas
- Tangerine or mandarin orange
- 1 cup or less of watermelon
- Yellow or zucchini squash
- Lettuce
- Non-whole grain breads or bread products
- Rice
- Pasta
Talk to your doctor or dietitian about other options available to you, including help with meal planning.

Mandy making music
This is Mandy Moore today at Barneys in Beverly Hills. She's single now. And the acting thing has dried up so Mandy's going back to music. At least that's what she says on her blog. I like her blog. It's better than most dumbass celebrity blogs. Mostly because she doesn't say much, although she did say that she's just completed a new album and can't wait to share it. Hopefully there's a better title though. Her previous release was called Wild Hope. Yes. Exactly.
2008 was a sucky year for Mandy. 2009 promises much better. She was born under the sign of the Rat. Like my dad. And I'm an ox. And the Year of the Ox begins on Monday! For Rats, 2009 is supposed to bring generally good things, except there may be a lot of squabbles ahead. Mandy will need to hold her temper, resist the urge to bitch slap some reality whore on a red carpet.
