If you haven't seen "Hide/Seek" at Tacoma Art Museum, you've probably heard of it: a groundbreaking, controversial show initially mounted at the Smithsonian of major American art with a lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender theme. Now Northwest artists have responded to the show and its issues with a show of their own. "Queering the Museum" features 19 artists in a thought-provoking group show at downtown Tacoma venue The Space, opening this weekend, with associated events at Seattle's Henry Art Gallery and Tacoma Art Museum.
Curator Erin Bailey has made the most of the unusual geography of The Space, an alternative non-profit venue that hosts music and other arts events. The works curve around from the front lobby through to the open back area, their placement making its own statement about taking gender as you find it. Not all was complete when I walked through the show; it opens Saturday with an artist reception.
At the front are a group of photo-portraits recently hung at the University of Puget Sound's Collins library: T-Town Transgender Neighbors. Then, as now, conventionally posed but sympathetic shots by Irielle Dean show local transgender folks at Tacoma landmarks, occasionally hitting the visual jackpot as with "Lukas G." slouched defiantly in front of the graffiti garages.
Curving around the wall to the back will be an installation of screenprinted ants, along with some screenprinted candy, a logical follow-on from the Felix Gonzalez-Torres "portrait" of his AIDS-infected lover, piled in candy on the Tacoma Art Museum floor. Another direct reference to "Hide/Seek" is Abby Lazerow's painting of an emotion-laden deathbed scene, the wallpaper and people merging in a patchwork of flowers in saturated pinks and blues, just like the comforter over the corpse in AA Bronson's "Felix."
Other comments are more subtle. A trio of photographs by Rafael Soldi, white on a lipstick-red alcove, show two young men in white underwear embracing in a white room, calm and almost innocent. Says Hitson: "I wanted to showcase a wide variety of identity and emotions, not just eroticism, to get out of the stereotyping. Because that's what "Hide/Seek" felt like to me."
The rest of the show varies a lot in quality. Some more mundane works contrast with highly original ones, like the devastatingly exposed stare of the two Nepalese hijra (transgender men) by Rebecca Maxim; the collaborative painting by Hall/Schmidt of naked bathhouse women staring in shock at one another; the superimposed portraits of artist Erin Oly and her father, sadly gazing; Clyde Peterson's playful shots of himself appearing multiple times in a cozy living room get-together.
One of the best little trios of identity is that of Tacoma artists Holly Senn and Amy Ryken. Above a booklet of Ryken's exploring elementary kids' views on her gender (boy or girl?) is a lovely duo portrait of the two by Senn, their gender-ambiguous silhouettes (the classic vase) facing each other over a disparaging vintage text on tomboys. Right alongside is a soft, protective paint portrait of the two by Cody Blomberg.
Whether you've seen "Hide/Seek" or not, "Queering the Museum" is worth a visit just to realize (if you need to) that while identity is as varied as Earth's population, we all share the same emotions.
"Queering the Museum" opens with a free reception 7:30-10 p.m. May 12 and through July 30 at The Space, 729 Court C (Opera Alley), Tacoma. 253-282-2303, facebook.com/thespacetacoma
Other events include a presentation by "Hide/Seek" co-curator Dr. Jonathan Katz at the Henry Arts Gallery at 6:30 p.m. Friday night, as well as a symposium at 10 a.m. May 12 at the Henry and one at 2:30 p.m. plus gallery tour at Tacoma Art Museum, 1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma. 253-272-4258, tacomaartmuseum.org

Here's how the problem occurred:
1. Already own a blog called http://mindsome.wordpress.com. When I registered for this site a long time ago, I registered with the user name 'mindsome'.
2. Created a new blog called http://ohsnapletseat.wordpress.com, but now I can't register for a new name 'ohsnapletseat' because I get this error: "Sorry, but the username ohsnapletseat isn't available."
I assume this is because that blog exists... but I own it, so how do I create or make a username called ohsnapletseat?
I also already tried signing in with that name thinking maybe it is reserved for me already but nope, it is not.
The blog I need help with is ohsnapletseat.wordpress.com.

Scott Brown felt like the Grinch at Christmas on the night of May 19, 2011.
True North's senior director of corporate communications was the man responsible for putting a bit of a damper on the party that took over Winnipeg after word leaked that the city was getting an NHL team for the second time.
"My first reaction wasn't one of panic or needing to find out what was going on, because I was confident that I did know what was going on," Brown said.
Brown was sitting at his desk in the bowels of MTS Centre when Stephen Brunt's Globe and Mail report broke. True North chairman Mark Chipman had decided well before that night that Brown would be in the inner circle of information, so Brown was aware of the status of negotiations with the Atlanta Spirit group. He knew a deal wasn't done.
"It wasn't done done, and there was a possibility that there would be nothing done, even after Stephen had reported that," Brown said. "There were still areas that needed to be solved in the agreement, and there were significant areas."
So while people were partying and playing road hockey at Portage and Main, Brown was busy sending out denials to inquiring media outlets from all over North America. To more than a few anonymous Internet commenters, Brown was pure evil for suggesting a deal wasn't done.
"I was the Grinch at Christmas, kind of telling people that this wasn't happening, and everybody else wasn't listening," said Brown, who can laugh about it a year later. "I was being called names and being told I clearly didn't know what was going on."
Chipman, meanwhile, was no doubt perturbed after spending years doing a masterful job of keeping a lid on his negotiations to purchase an NHL team.
Chipman likes to tell the story of how he drove through Portage and Main that night while on the phone with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, who loves discretion and was wondering why the news had leaked. Chipman even held his phone out the window to the commissioner could hear Winnipeg hockey fans celebrating the news.
"It did create some tension between the two of them — for not very long — but it obviously didn't please the NHL front office, for sure," Brown said. "It caused the NHL to question our ability to (have confidential negotiations) for a brief period of time."

Not sure where this one came from but the master has "Pattern #8, 1994 – Dirk Boelman". He has a company called "The Art Factory". I know I probably got it from one of the usual pattern places I used but not sure which one.
I did the cross and vines from cedar and the Christ figure from cherry. I later put an ovel frame around it and added a black matte background to glue the cross to. I gave it to my minister as a gift and he re-gifted it. Seems they were looking for something to give the soldier that helped them get their medical supplies through the border without a problem during a mission trip to Sendafa and had no idea what to give him….. Cool.

Today was the first day of my ProBlogger community review, and it reminded of a quote attributed to former U.S. Chief Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.:
"We should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe."
The context was probably that of freedom of expression but it works here too.
You would think that it might be a little tough to take as the criticism I received was pretty pointed, but I loved it. If you don't want to know what people think, don't ask, right?
Community Feedback and To Do List
To honor the rules of the program I need to leave the site as-is until next week so I thought I would start making a to-do list. Here's some things that I picked out of the comments that I am sure that I will address.
- Check Site in IE 6 & 7 – I never use IE and so I don't check my website in Internet Explorer – Thanks to Alan at Affiliate Confessions for pointing out my blog doesn't look good in IE (the browser of choice for 31% of my visitors).
- Adding a Featured Content Block – Thanks to esvl at From the Old I have some pieces that I think are more interesting than others and highlighting that content is a no brainer
- The Blog Roll Page – Blogging Beat doesn't like it but Dan does. I think I will keep this page as it's one of the most high performing content pages on my site. However, that could be a function of the being a top level link.
- HTML Validation – This is one I knew about but haven't had time to fix. Anthony's observation will probably shame me into getting that fixed sooner rather than later. He's right it's inexcusable for a geek.
- Tagging – Anthony notes that I don't use Technorati Tags per blog post (WordPress Categories do translate to Technorati tags though) I use the convention of tagging all my posts with the Tag:
from my reading of the Technorati tag page it gives a spec, I suppose I should investigate a plug-in that adheres to the convention. Ironically my current tags show up as tagged in Technorati as in this example.
- Better Subscription Options – I originally offered two options for subscriptions but after seeing that I was getting two types of readers one group interested in open source and one interested in online marketing I added a feed. However, I need to describe the options better and probably add the
- Move About Widget to Top Level Menu – I should probably consolidate a bunch of the sidebar information into an About page and get rid of a column inspired by Martin. Maybe it's time to move back to a two column format.
Key Areas for Improvement
Here are the message I am getting loud and clear.
- Add Color – I am a WordPress design novice so I chose an off-the-shelf theme that was simple. It's apparent to me now that the site needs some dressing up. I did get compliments on the color choices but perhaps I can use more blue to spice things up. Thanks to Hazel, Patrick, and Christy for politely pointing out my sterility 😉
- Reduce Clutter – Probably too many widgets in the right hand columns, Tags and Categories are somewhat redundant I need to pick one, but not sure which.
- Badges – In an attempt to add color I added badges to my front page that are probably better reserved for a less prominent About page to Kirk's point. I think it is important to include these links though contrary to some advice as it helps create my identity online.
- Less Personal Information – I probably can move more of the personal information to my About Page. As I read the comments, I had images of a gaudy MySpace page.
- Fonts – I never realized how hard the site was to read until today, I am going to change to a higher contrast black font on a white background at a larger font size.
- Statement of Purpose – I didn't realize that my links to my book might make it look like I was trying to monetize the blog immediately. Maybe someday once my traffic rises I could sell direct advertising. I blog as a hobby and to establish myself as a subject matter expert that I monetize in other ways that should be clarified.
- Invite Conversations – I don't want to come off as intimidating or as a braggart and I realize from
I had a hard time picking a theme when I launched Socialized Software so perhaps it's time to look for a designer (Suggestions are welcome). At the very least I have some actionable items for simple organization and some simple CSS tweaks that could make big improvements very quickly.
Thank you to everyone who's provided feedback I do appreciate it and keep it coming.

The day has finally come! The day I've been waiting nearly 8 long weeks for.
I. Ran.
I've been ready to test my legs out for a couple of weeks now. Last week would have been an ok time to start because I was past the so-called waiting period after my c-section where I could gradually start running again. But day after day, it just wasn't happening. Part of it was my own apprehension-would I get discouraged? Would it hurt? Would I get injured? Would I even be able to do it? Part of it was realizing that getting out for a run when you have 3 kids isn't as easy as it sounds. Next summer, it will be easier because I could take them with me (oldest on his bike, wee ones in the double jogger) if I needed to. Right now, that's not an option, mainly because the baby can't go for a jog yet. It's getting too cold and she's much too little for it to be safe.
My only real option right now is to either try and sneak out when hubby is home or to use the treadmill in the basement when the kids are settled into bed and hubby can manage the baby (who is often fussy by this time of the day) for a short while. The problem? By 9pm…I'm kinda ready for bed myself.
Well last night, I decided it was time. I was feeling stressed/anxious and I needed to get the running monkey off my back. I'd already decided on the type of plan I was going to follow (more in terms of the running intervals I'd tackle rather than the specific number of days per week I'd be running-5 days is not an option for me at the best of times, let alone in the season I'm currently in). I just needed to do it. I needed to prove to myself that the hardest part was taking the first steps and that it's all uphill from here.
My run was very simple: 4 min of walking for every 2 min of running. Totally doable. Unlike my last postpartum return to running where I did 1 minute of running per 3 minutes of walking, I didn't feel like I was going to die at the end of each running interval. The advantage of the treadmill was that it paced me and I kept the pace very conservative. It was really a very light jog which I think is the smartest thing to do. By the 5th interval, I was still feeling very good but I was starting to become aware of my scar. It wasn't hurting and I wasn't concerned but I knew it was time to stop for the day. I think I ended up going around 2 miles, maybe a bit more. I wore my Polar H7 Heart Rate Monitor and used the (free) Polar beat app to track my heart rate. It was seriously cool to see the different zones and how my heart rate compared to how I felt. I never felt out of breath, never struggled and yet my heart rate climbed and remained very steadily in zone 4 whenever I ran. I need to do a lot more reading up on this but it was cool to see.
And how did I feel after? AMAZING!!! It was so encouraging that I felt like I could have run longer intervals at a faster pace. I don't plan to for a couple of weeks at least but boy was I happy after. And I was sweaty enough (the area in my basement where the treadmill is, has zero ventilation and even in the cooler weather, it gets warm down there) and smelly enough that hubby was more than happy to let me have an extra 20 minutes to myself to shower. Win-win-win!!
Now to unearth my trusty foam roller and start rolling the crap out of my legs to keep the tendonitis beast from re-emerging.

Transmission problem
2006 Mini Cooper S 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 46,000 miles
Not sure how long my rear main seal was broken or how many miles I put on car before it started acting up and I found there was no oil in engine.
There was no apparent leak anywhere so I do not know how long it had been going on.
The Mini dealership has now repaired it but I am concerned that the engine will fail in the near future as parts have been compromised.
They found metal fragments in pan after dropping oil.
I had put 2 quarts in when I discovered there was none and that it what they found when they dropped the oil pan.
The dealer is telling me everything is fine and I have asked Mini to extend their warranty to prove hey feel the car is in fact OK to which their reply has been no.
The car definitely sounds different than it did before as now there is a louder metal sound in engine.
My warranty is up at 48K miles so I am very afraid I will be replacing major items shortly after warranty is up.
Can you give me some advise as to what you might do if this was your car?
Get rid of it?
Much appreciated!
Disillusioned Mini Cooper Owner

Can LeBron James Be Better than Michael Jordan?February 22, 2008
Even though it's still very early in his career, many would already consider Lebron James to be the greatest player in the NBA.
However, is it possible that, by his career's end, Lebron will be the greatest player of all time?
Let's take a look at the numbers and see what James will have to do to be considered the greatest ever to play the game.
Let's start by looking at the current stats of the greatest player in basketball history, Michael Jordan.
Jordan boasts career numbers of 30.1 PTS, 6.2 REBS, 5.3 ASTS, 2.4 STL, and 0.8 BLK per game.
In addition, we must also take into account the plethora of championships that Jordan won, as well as his defensive excellence.
Now let's take a look at James.
This season, James is currently averaging 30.2 PTS, 8.1 REB, 7.5 AST, 2.1 STL, and 1.1 BLK per game.
While James' career numbers are slightly lower, we must realize that he is still very young, and that if anything, his statistical production is bound to go upwards.
In that vein, we can see that James' current stats exceed Jordan's career averages in every category except steals, in which he is only slightly deficient.
In this respect, James is right on par with Jordan.
The areas in which James will still need to prove himself are the defensive and championship categories.
As far as defense is concerned, James is ever-improving; although Jordan's Defensive Player of the Year Awards are a tough act to follow.
Also, we must keep in mind that Jordan didn't begin his career as a defensive stalwart either, and that he too went through a similar progression.
As far as the championships are concerned, James made it to the NBA Finals last year with much less help than Jordan ever had throughout his tenure with the Bulls.
This would lead us to believe that James can potentially reach the same heights with a slightly better unit to work with.
At this point in time, is Lebron James the greatest player of all time?
Will James one day surpass Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time?
I never thought I'd be able to say this about any human being, but yes, it is very, very possible.

Standard & Poor's is threatening to downgrade California's outlook if lawmakers don't balance the budget without gimmicks. "We are being disciplined by our lenders who will downgrade us for fudging," said Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point.
Bad old Wall Street bankers are forcing California to clean up its financial mess in order to prevent a catastrophic economic tsunami.
California's economy is nearly one-eighth of the entire country's gross domestic product. It totals 30 percent of the debt carried by all 50 states, according to Gabriel Petek, an S&P analyst. Petek, interviewed by FOX Business, said that California is overly reliant on personal income taxes, and that the state's tax structure is behind the deficit because of this reliance.

Cute looking website. Only thing missing is Dan Hibiki.
Bullshido REALLY needs to ditch the rotating google ad banner and go get some real advertising. You can't tell me that 100,000 targeted eyeballs won't get you an ad deal with Affliction or Tapout or CageWarehouse or Rupture or Headblade or SOMETHING. All of the above. There has to be a more lucrative advertising deal available than these crappy rotating google ads.
Wait, wait, was that a sponge that they were working out with? Also, am I the only one who notice when they said exercise equipment comes with it, they showed a picture of balloons and sponges? Also what can we confirm about this Robert M. Tallack?
how do you work out with a ballon??
I kind of like the rotating adds. They are kind of sarcastic in a way.
I feel the smae way about crappy martial arts as I do about drugs: What an adult does in their own home is there business, but anyone who tries to sell that **** to children needs to be shot.
This reminds me of the time we kept on typing "LESBIAN BIKINI OIL WRESTLING" and hoping that the ads would start to change... but they never did.
The only good things about our rotating ads is they inevitably lead to the discovery of questionable behavior like this.
Gotta say that the claims the announcer makes during his demo reeks. Is it just me or is he trying to make it sound like Tallack is Matayoshi Senseis successor? I think that might upset Matayoshi Yasushi Soke and Itokasu sensei.
Then there are the claims of the Japanese government sponsorship of the World Karate Championships in Atlanta Georgia. That would be the Battle of Atlanta, been going on for arouond 40 years and to my knowledge the Japanese Government has nothing to do with it.
I'm sending an email off to them to see if they can confirm or deny his attendance at there tournament in 2001.:bssign:
Hey guys,
I actually bought karate kids home fitness recently for my kids. I was a little skeptical at first but I was pleasantly surprised. My kids have been picking it up really quickly. They don't plan on becoming mini Jackie chan's but this dvd works extremely well for young kids that want to pick up karate quickly.
Thanks for reading have a great day everyone.

Subject: OMS on AIX
Does anyone have an Oracle Management Server running on an AIX box? We are running 1 on an AIX 5.1 box using Oracle EE 220.127.116.11. The repository is on a W2K box also running 22.214.171.124. The OMS starts up ok but after a few hours dies with an ora-3113. There is an OMS on the W2K box, too and that runs fine.
I've had a tar open with oracle for a few months to no avail.

UNLV football team to wear helmets honoring massacre victims
(FOX NEWS) - The University of Nevada, Las Vegas football team is honoring the victims of Sunday's mass shooting by wearing "Las Vegas" ribbon decals on their helmets instead of the team logo.
UNLV, whose campus is just a few miles from where the attack took place, said the team will wear the special helmets all season.
The university also plans to honor the victims and first responders in a pregame ceremony and throughout Saturday's game, which it has dubbed "Heroes Night."

The NFL draft begins Thursday, and as usual, there are several prospects with baseball connections. The most prominent is Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, who projects to go in the first two rounds. As an Oklahoma high school righthander, he was the Yankees' top choice (second round) in the 2002 draft. Though he ultimately never got past high Class A, Weeden was part of the December 2003 trade that sent Kevin Brown from the Dodgers to New York.
Two other potential NFL draftees were picked in baseball. Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson signed with the Rockies as a fourth-rounder in 2010 and spent that summer in the minors before putting baseball on hold. He figures to go in the same range in the football draft. Georgia Tech wide receiver Roddy Jones went in the 39th round to the White Sox as a Georgia prep outfielder in 2007 but didn't sign.
UCLA tight end Cory Harkey wasn't drafted in baseball, but his father Mike was the fourth overall pick by the Cubs in 1987 and won 36 games over eight major league seasons.
I thought Alvarez was the best player in the 2008 draft, but he certainly hasn't played like it. Drafted second overall that June by the Pirates and signed to a $6.355 million big league contract, he threw up a red flag by reporting to instructional league considerably out of shape. Though he seemed to be on the right path when he homered 13 times in the second half of his rookie 2010 season, he slumped to .191/.272/.289 last year and is off to a 4-for-37 start with 16 strikeouts this April.
In J.J.'s article, he had several damning quotes about Alvarez from an American League scout, including this one: "He was terrible. I was shocked how bad he looks. He's a different guy right now. He won't hit Triple-A pitching right now. He looks bad physically and the swing looks bad."
There have been a number of notable position-player busts over the years. Two No. 1 overall picks, Steve Chilcott (Mets, 1966) and Matt Bush (Padres, 2004), failed to reach the big leagues, though Chilcott was waylaid by injuries and Bush never should have been picked that high. Two other No. 1 selections, Al Chambers (Mariners, 1979) and Shawn Abner (Mets, 1984), got to the majors but only briefly and did little there. Danny Goodwin, the only two-time first overall choice, batted just .236/.301/.373 in 252 big league games.
Three players taken in the first five picks—John Jones (Senators, 1966), Ted Nicholson (White Sox, 1969) and future NFL quarterback Jay Schroeder (Blue Jays, 1979)—failed to get past Class A. Toronto took the clear best college player in 1982 with the No. 2 choice that June, and saw Augie Schmidt stall in Triple-A. The White Sox grabbed Kurt Brown fifth overall in 1985, and he couldn't advance further than Double-A while the four players drafted ahead of him (B.J. Surhoff, Will Clark, Bobby Witt, Barry Larkin) went on to lengthy and productive careers. So did the guy chosen right behind Brown: Barry Bonds.
The Marlins handed Josh Booty a then-record $1.6 million bonus as the No. 5 overall pick in 1994, and he got only 26 major league at-bats. They didn't come on merit, but rather as a ploy to keep his interest in baseball. That didn't last, and Booty went on to play quarterback at Louisiana State and as a backup with the NFL's Cleveland Browns.
Top-five-pick disappointments of a more recent vintage include Jeff Clement (Mariners, 2005), Tim Beckham (Rays, 2008) and Donavan Tate (Padres, 2009). Seattle was set to choose Troy Tulowitzki at No. 3 before a late switch to Clement, the only player in the first seven picks in a loaded 2005 draft not to become a star. Tampa Bay took Beckham, who has reached Triple-A but may not profile as a regular, over Buster Posey. Tate's injury problems and two failed drug tests have been more notable than anything he has done on the field.
The closest parallel to Alvarez is Dave Roberts, whom the Padres selected No. 1 overall in 1972. A day after San Diego picked him, he made his big league debut. The next year, he batted .286 with 21 homers and like Alvarez in 2009, Roberts appeared destined for stardom. But he hit just .167 in 1974 and never was a full-time starter in the majors again.
Perhaps if Alvarez can get himself into better shape, he can reclaim the bat speed and hitting ability that made him the No. 2 choice just four years ago. If not, you could argue that he's the biggest waste of hitting talent in draft history. None of the players mentioned above generated the same kind of glowing offensive scouting reports, and none signed for as much as Alvarez did.
Teams considered Marrero a top-five-pick talent when the season began, which made it a dicey proposition that he'd be available to the Padres with the No. 7 overall selection. While scouts still believe Marrero is a no-doubt shortstop, they wonder how much offense he'll provide after watching him hit .278/.340/.410. He's sliding and likely still will be on the board when San Diego makes its decision.
At this point—though much can change in the next six weeks—I'd expect Georgia high school outfielder Byron Buxton, Florida catcher Mike Zunino and four college righthanders (Stanford's Mark Appel, Louisiana State's Kevin Gausman, Texas A&M's Michael Wacha and San Francisco's Kyle Zimmer) to go in some order before the Padres pick. When you're choosing that high, you have to worry about grabbing the best talent and not worrying about positional needs.
That said, the best talent at No. 7 may well be a shortstop, either Puerto Rican high schooler Carlos Correa or Louisiana prepster Gavin Cecchini. There's a chance Correa could grow too big for the position, though his power would make him a fit at third base. Other possibilities include Florida high school outfielder Albert Almora, California prep lefthander Max Fried and Duke righthander Marcus Stroman. I'd opt for someone with more upside than Marrero.
To start, we need to separate the full-season and short-season leagues. At the lower levels of the minors, defensive play is erratic and leads to more run scoring. For instance, teams in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League averaged 4.76 runs per game in 2011. That figured ranked fifth among the six leagues that begin play in June but would have placed sixth among the 10 circuits that start in the April.
At the full-season level, the California (5.41 runs per club) and Triple-A Pacific Coast (5.33) leagues favor hitters the most, according to the last five years of data. The high Class A Florida State (4.44), Triple-A International (4.52) and low Class A Midwest (4.59) leagues are a pitcher's best friends. The high Class A Carolina League was the lowest-scoring circuit last year with 4.35 runs per team but had a more neutral average of 4.69 from 2007-11.
In Rookie and short-season ball, the Pioneer (5.61) and Arizona (5.49) leagues are hitter's paradises, while pitchers find it easiest to survive in the New-York Penn (4.41) and Gulf Coast (4.43) leagues.
For more detailed analysis, check out Matt Eddy's Minor League Blog post from last October.

After indulging in all four seasons of Dexter last fall, and having had the book stare at me from the shelf for five years now, I decided it was time to try it out. The show was a pleasing, morally ambiguous guilty pleasure, and I figured the source material would be the same. Intense plots, stupid characters who are somehow fascinating, grisly-yet-sanctioned violence. It was my understanding that the first season of the show closely followed the plot of the first novel, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and so I read it.
Quick answer: I will never again refer to the show as a guilty pleasure. Clearly it is the superior work featuring deft writers, talented actors, dark humor, and subtle plotting.
Long answer after the jump.
Long answer:
It seems that Jeff Lindsay, the no doubt hard-working author of the series, pitched his idea, a serial killer who ONLY preys on serial killers, and the editor said, "OK!" and that was that. I remain in doubt that the novel was developed, discussed, or even edited at all.
The novels are first-person narratives, steeped in Dexter's sarcastic voice. And while his character still encounters the sort of awkward, real human interactions that appear in the show, they hardly seem dramatic or tense when filtered through his omniscient perspective. While a voice-over dominates many scenes in the show, the viewer still is allowed the pleasure of watching Dexter try to maneuver through emotional human beings that he cannot understand. In the book, he sounds like an asshole.
And that's just it. I couldn't believe for one second that the things he says in the novel make him seem normal. If the guy portrayed in the book worked with me I'd be freaked out by him. Or at least think he was a phony. Unlike Michael C. Hall's fit and smiling and terribly dressed creation in the show—watching this affable and boyish actor stand by and observe, always calculating his next move, is thrilling television. In a scene in season one he passively watches his sister freak out following the revelation of a shocking family secret. Dexter of course feels nothing and cannot share her panic and frustration. He doesn't know what she wants from him, and she can't understand why. It's compelling, it's emotional, and it's challenging.
Dexter in the book is far too savvy and sophisticated for that. The closest the novel gets to that is a scene where Dexter clumsily shrugs off the advances of his lieutenant. It's awkward but brief, and completely believable in that anyone might run away when cornered sexually by a superior at work. In short, nothing is at stake. It reminded me of detective novels where the hero makes insanely accurate leaps of guess work, making up the plot as they goes along, smarter than everyone else in the story because they embody the author's voice.
There are three more books in the Dexter series (with book five due this fall) that diverge heavily from the TV show. I don't think I'm going to read them, but if they get better, please let me know. Sometimes it takes authors of ongoing series a few books to find their stride. But for now, I'll wait for season five.

Former world super-middleweight champion Anthony Mundine is known for yo-yoing the weight divisions but is now ready to out-do himself by facing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at middleweight and then immediately challenging cruiserweight king Krzysztof Wlodarczyk.
The 36 year-old Australian, who has been campaigning at 154lbs since January 2010, currently holds the interim WBA title at the weight but is ready to move up to take on Chavez with just over six weeks preparation before bulking up for Wlodarczyk later in the year.
"I am willing to break boundaries," Mundine told heraldsun.com.au. "What I've done in sport has never been done before.
"But what I do in the next five or six years, I want to achieve what could never be matched in boxing.
"I am here to let people know that I am the best all-round athlete of all time. People in Australia know, but I want the whole world to know."
According to reports in his native country, Mundine is mulling over the opportunity to travel to the US to face Chavez in February and after cracking the American market, wants to challenge the 200lb Polish world champon later in the year.
With Chavez having at least two mandatory challengers in Sergio Martinez and Marco Antonio Rubio though, it may be a long shot that Mundine would even be considered by the WBC and a shot at WBA 'regular' champion Austin Trout seems more realistic in 2012.

This stunning celestial catherine wheel (above) is a galaxy roughly 32m light years away with about 100bn stars. Nicknamed the "phantom galaxy" by amateur astronomers, it can just about be viewed on a clear night using binoculars.
The Hubble telescope image shows in stunning detail the galaxy's two spiral arms. Astronomers call it NGC 628 or Messier 74, after the French astronomer who catalogued the galaxy, discovered in 1780 by Pierre Méchain. The "phantom" tag is because it is the hardest of the 110 Messier objects to spot without professional equipment.
The image is a composite of data collected in 2003 and 2005 by the telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys. The bright pink regions are ionised hydrogen gas embedded with hot young stars. The telescope was launched by Nasa aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990. Its data has helped refine estimates of the age of the universe from 10bn-20bn years to 13bn-14bn years.

Polish Fried Dough – PączkiMonday, May 3rd, 2010
It was a pretty special day. Actually, it was pretty mundane as I was at home working on some jewelry when I glanced through the day's events online, only to discover there was a Polish Festival going on at that very minute in Golden Gate Park. I had to get there fast — it was already 2:00 in the afternoon! The trip was a total gamble. I checked out a car and drove pell-mell through the streets of San Francisco, hoping against hope that part of the traditional foods being offered at the festival might be Pączki, the Polish version of a jelly doughnut. When I arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to get into the building. I got in that line and waited too — then I noticed a guy who just sauntered by and just walk in. I asked the security guard what the line was for (assuming it was the entrance) and was told it was for food. Before I am going to spend an hour in line for food, I at least wanted to see if they had what I was looking for…
The line for hot food was incredibly long. Upwards of an hour plus, if not longer. It winded its way into the large room with banquet tables where many were already feasting on boiled dumplings, sausages, and more. But then I saw it – up against the back wall was a very long table set with sweets. Fortunately, that table didn't require the tickets that were sold for the hot food and a young girl — probably 9 or 10 years old — was taking cash for the desserts.
What I was looking for came au natural (no filling) or with plum filling. And nearby, I saw a gentleman working furiously to fill these Pączki. And very fortunate for me, Edmund was more than willing to help me learn more about this ethnic specialty. (more…)

I endorse MLSP because it is a tool I use that has taught me how to market online, generate leads, recruit serious people, and make money.

For the first time in forever, I sat down and wrote something today. It's 400 words of . . . well, I'm not sure what. Maybe a picture book. It was nice to be creating something, to write something that wasn't comments on someone else's work. I like editing, but some days it gets depressing to read other people's ingenious writing and then have your cleverest thought of the day be, "does this sentence really need that adverb?" That's what it felt like yesterday when I spent 5, yes 5, hours plugging in copyedit changes into a layout. It took so long because it was a 300 page novel that had been reformatted so that the hardcopy that had been CEed didn't match the electronic copy I was trying to fix. I had to visually locate every sentence that needed changing. And there was one on nearly every page.
But writing today helped bring back my creative equilibrium. Still, even as I was typing away, I couldn't help but wonder to myself, what are you writing? I have that thesis I need to finish. I'm supposed to write a second Fergus picture book. I'm trying to develop a rhyming picture book about llamas for Regan. And instead I spend 45 minutes creating this quiet little 400 word picture book thing about a girl's search for the definition of a word and whether or not she wants to accept this word as a definition of herself. And I don't know what to do with it now. I couldn't even think of a title. If it were someone else, I would reccommend they take it to their critique group and then consider submitting to appropriate houses and/or agents. Perhaps someday I'll take my own advice.
What are you writing?

It's so easy to put our own writing off and do everything else first. I've been trying to finish the last four chapters of my next mid-grade forever, but keep getting tied up in critiquing and other activities that involve other writers.
That llama book in rhyme sounds interesting...let me know if you want some help.
Llamas in pajamas
soaking up the sun in the Bahamas.
Dreaming of their mamas.
Arguing who likes Barack Obama's
over-use of commas.
Ending up engaged in llama dramas
over certain squamous
cell carcinomas.
Note to self: Don't drink and rhyme.

Zestra is getting the cold shoulder from networks. Totally unfair?
Zestra Essential Arousal Oils, that all-natural blend of botanical oils meant to prime ladyparts for sex, has had a tough time getting TV advertising space. (Full disclosure: Zestra has advertised with YourTango.) Not only have Facebook and WebMD refused to run Zestra's ad, most radio stations and TV networks have only OK'd the spot for the late-night and other non-primetime shifts.
Aside from being bad for business (though Zestra could get a significant amount of drunk buyers during that graveyard shift, no?), Rachel Braun Scherl, president of Zestra manufacturers Semprae Laboratories, told the New York Times that this oil-shunning is symbolic of how society views women's sexual problems. Was there ever such hoopla over erectile dysfunction ads? Why do men wanting erections get Superbowl commercial spots while middle-aged ladies desiring more orgasms can only be seen by insomniacs? Aren't they one and the same, really?
Apparently not. Here are the stated issues:
1. No men needed.
Robert J. Thompson, a professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse, suggests it's a leftover kind of masculine control. Watching middle-aged women beam while talking about regaining their mojo might make men feel inadequate or unnecessary. After all, unlike erectile dysfunction ads, there are no members of the opposite sex in the Zestra commercial. Uh oh.
"[Commercials for erectile dysfunction products] boldly tout male sexual pleasure as a commodity: an erection in a bottle." he told the Times. "[The difference with Zestra is that it] places female pleasure first, and even seems to suggest that this pleasure can be had with or without the presence of a man. It works so well, when I think about it, it even makes me want to go home and use it now."
2. A woman's sexual pleasure is more suggestive than a man's.
Maybe people have gotten antsy about Zestra because the female orgasm—and let's be real, female pleasure in general—is more elusive and less mechanical. Does this lead the imagination to dirtier, murkier waters? Is it the mystery of what exactly these "all natural arousal oils" do?
As various news outlets have pointed out, Viagra and Cialis are by-prescription, FDA-approved items for an "actual" medical condition. Zestra is sold over-the-counter and—doubling back on the point above—the source of female sexual dysfunction is hard to diagnose, making it tough both to classify and remedy. It's not an, ahem, up and down issue, as with male dysfunction.
3. The messaging is too explicit.
The rub, though, is that the Zestras and Viagras of the world seek the same end, and many personal care products advertised are not FDA-approved (from toothpaste to anti-wrinkle cream). So, is the commercial simply too frank, too explicit? It does mention "sex" a number of times despite lacking any of the suggestive imagery that blasts us from billboards and screens across the country advertising shampoo, body spray or a cable network's new dramatic series.
Watch the commercial and let us know what you think. Are the words "sex" and "arousal" the problem, or is there still a cultural discomfort with frank discussion of female sexuality?

If legendary cowboy Shane were in the South Sound for the week, he might ride along the Puyallup river, past Eric Anderson's moving van, past the ships docked along Schuster Parkway, around the sewer work at the closed Puget Gulch, then hitch his horse outside the future site of the Tacoma Food Co-Op, jump on the phone and help the Co-Op reach its fundraising goal. He would end his night at neighboring The Red Hot with a spirited game of Dominos, and then fall happily asleep next to the outdoor fireplace at Hotel Murano. He would wake up naturally the next day at sunrise, and do it all over again, adding a stack of flapjacks from Old Milwaukee Cafe and the free events listed below to his routine.
MONDAY 7-18: The week starts off on a wild note when the Tacoma Cult Movie Club presents a night of films centered around the theme: "He's A Very Naughty Boy - You Might Want To Give This Bad Boy A Spanking" beginning at 7 p.m. inside The Acme Grub Cage. We have no idea what that means, but we're sure Shane would side with TCMC co-producers Rev. Colin and Mat Hat Tobin.
TUESDAY 7-19: Shane might head toward American Lake Park for the rootin'-tootin'-est Lakewood's Brightest Star local talent competition finals at 6:30 p.m. Shane would do what comes natural, shooting his guns in the air after every song. No one in the crowd would flinch.
WEDNESDAY 7-20: Shane's personal repression and remorse could surface if he attended Author Chellis Swenson Jensen reading of her book, Meet Mrs. Annathena Gilly Gully From Puddle Rumple Tilly Willy, at 10:30 a.m. inside the Garfield Book Company in Parkland. Afterward, all the kids would yell "Shane, come back!" but only because the cowboy stole their temporary tattoo stickers. Also Wednesday, Abby Road Live Beatles tribute band at Pioneer Park in Steilacoom from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
THURSDAY 7-21: Shane would have to push his horse Thursday. Naturally, Shane would attend the screening of archival films showing Schafer Brothers Logging Company operations in the 1920s at 7 p.m. inside the bitchin' new University Place Library. Shane would irritate the crowd with his mouth harp. Next, he'd gallop toward Tollefson Plaza before the 8:30 p.m. showing of this year's "Best of The Grand's 72 Hour Film Competition" on a giant outdoor screen. Afterward, he'd discover sake at neighboring TWOKOI Japanese Restaurant and spent the rest of the night on guard at the base of the 20-foot high welcome figure.
FRIDAY 7-22: The man, the myth, the legend, would probably make an appearance at the free outdoor screening of Shane at Donkey Creek Park in Gig Harbor at 9 p.m. No doubt Shane would be forced to spend the night in a Gig Harbor slammer because of his inability to deal rationally with the Good To Go system.
SATURDAY 7-23: At 2 p.m. Shane would rope his horse in front of King's Books for Gudrun Aurand's class on repairing torn paper. Fascinated with King's owner sweet pea's outfit of the day, the two probably would become close friends baking muffins into the wee hours. Also Saturday, Tacoma's EnviroHouse hosts a free 10:30 a.m. workshop titled "Garden Design, Soils & Pest Management."
SUNDAY 7-24: Someone Shane would get bit during NADOi endorsed dog trainer Jeanne Hampf's 1 p.m. free workshop on "How to Keep Your Dog Happy and Safe at the Dog Park" at the Gig Harbor Branch Library. Slumped over on his horse, Shane would follow the same path that he took entering the South Sound.

Top 7 FAQ on Influenza Vaccine or Flu Shots
Influenza virus claims thousands of lives every year mainly because people do not take flu shots seriously. Although flu virus can attack anybody, more susceptible are those with weak immune systems, babies, those with chronic health ailments, pregnant women and the aged.
The influenza vaccine, commonly known as the flu shot, is an annual vaccine meant to provide immunization against the influenza virus. A flu shot when injected contains three influenza virus. These are: influenza type A subtype H3N2virus strain; influenza type B virus strain and influenza type A subtype H1N1 (seasonal) virus strain.
Given below are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the Influenza vaccine:
1. Why flu shots are required every season?
Influenza virus is a very dangerous ailment, mainly because of two reasons-
Firstly, it can lead to major complications such as sinus and ear infections, worsening of asthma and diabetes and even pneumonia, which can cause death.
Secondly, the virus evolves and develops immunity very quickly. Therefore, there is no permanent vaccine against it; making it important to take flu shots annually, at the beginning of every flu season.
2. Does the shot give complete protection?
Vaccine Trivia
Flu virus kills around 500,000 people worldwide every year
Research for developing a vaccine against influenza began in 1950
Influenza virus comes in many strains and in each season, some of the strains are active. So, officials from CDC research and narrow down the three most active strains and develop vaccines against them. So, the chances that you are protected are pretty high. However, sometimes, a strain that has not been chosen becomes active or a new one develops mid-way. Nevertheless, the vaccine does go a long way in reducing the severity of infection.
3. Do vaccines cause flu?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions about flu shots because people who take the shots do experience flu like symptoms just after immunization. The symptoms occur because the immune system of the body is triggered against the virus introduced through the shot. However, these viruses are either dead or in a very weak form. They do not cause a full blown flu infection but, do trigger the immune system, which brings about the symptoms.
4. When should the shot be taken?
The sooner you take the shot, the higher will be your chance of being protected. Safest are those who take the shots before the virus becomes active in the region.
5. Which is the better choice – flu shots or flu sprays?
Flu shots are better and more effective. Shots contain dead virus while sprays contain very weakened but live virus. For people who are averse to needles, flu nasal sprays are a suitable alternative. However, sprays are not suitable for pregnant women, people with chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes or for those who are allergic to chicken eggs, children below 2 years of age and those above 49 years. Shots are not suitable for people who are allergic to them and for those who suffer Guillaine-Barre syndrome.
6. Should pregnant women take the shots?
Pregnant women should receive shots because flu viruses are partial towards pregnant women and taking shots during pregnancy immunizes the child for the first six months after birth. However, pregnant women should avoid taking the vaccine via a nasal spray.
7. Do shots contain high mercury levels?
Vaccines for children contain no mercury. Some of the vaccines for adults contain a very small amount and do not lead to poisoning, autism or other side effects. You can always ask for a mercury free shot.
So, take your seasonal shot and say cheers to good health.

I want to cover few more topics to wrap this things up.
The first thing you might be thinking is "man that seems like a lot of work. Isn't there something else I can do?" As I pointed out in the first post, Benjamin Smedberg's Firefox Release Repackager is great if you are a Mac user. If you are not using a Mac, or you want to add more than two extensions, or if you need to add files to the removed-files list we talked about, you can't use the release repackager. Here's how to manually modify a Firefox install.
First, download a Firefox setup executable. Unpack that file into a directory using 7z.
7z x "Firefox Setup 188.8.131.52.exe"
If you want to add files to the removed files list, do it now. Edit the file
removed-files.log and add your files and directories following the syntax in the file. If you want to add extensions, you can follow the steps we outlined earlier, unzipping them in a temporary directory in
nonlocalized/extensions and then renaming the temporary directory to the extension ID based on the information in
If you are not interested in having a self extracting executable, this is actually enough. If you were to run setup.exe at this point, it would do the install, removing the files and directories you specified, and including the extensions you unzipped. If you want to create a self extracting executable, you would need to manually repackage the EXE. Unfortunately, I don't have those steps in front of me right now. I'll update this post if I find them.
Another problem that might arise is that you don't mind updates coming from Mozilla, but you'd like to determine when they get pushed to your users. For instance, you might want to do some internal testing. You can actually set preferences that prevent specific updates from being offered to your users. For instance, the preference
app.update.never.22.214.171.124 tells Firefox to never offer the 188.8.131.52 upgrade. So you can use the CCK to set these preferences, and then update the CCK when you have verified a particular version.
What if Firefox can't upgrade your users because it is running at the wrong permissions level? If this is the case, you'll obviously need to create your own upgrade solution and turn off the Mozilla upgrades. To turn off the Mozilla upgrade checking, set the preference
app.update.enabled to false.
Forgot one – if you want to do a silent/unattended install, invoke the installer (setup.exe or the full installer executable) with -ms.
Well, that's about all I have. I hope you've enjoyed this series of posts. If you have any questions about deploying Firefox in the enterprise, please let me know.
In addition, I'll take this moment to shamelessly plug IBM. If you are an enterprise and need help customizing and/or deploying Firefox, IBM can help. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Eat for your soul
Total health is not only being physically fit, it involves well-being of mind, emotions and senses also. Ayurveda, a traditional Hindu system of medicine is based on the idea of maintaining body systems through diet, herbal treatment, and breathing techniques. As per Ayurveda the food we consume nourishes all of the aspects of health, not just physical well-being only. Our emotions directly affect the quality of food. Cooking or eating in angry or stressed mood turns the qualities of food into poison and if food is cooked and ate in a harmonious atmosphere, on the other hand, turns the food into nectar. Pleasant fragrance, soothing music, tidy place, smiling faces of friends and family, makes mealtime nourishing for mind, emotions, senses and spirits. Sometimes eating in silence with total focus on food can turn the meal into a feast, no matter how simple it is. Relishing colors, textures, aromas and flavors in an eating experience is optimal for health. Only balance and a little effort is required to cultivate good eating habits. Thanking providence for the food that is served, practicing deep breathing for a couple of minutes before starting a meal, sitting quietly for a few minutes after a meal, are small little things, but they add up to good health and longevity. Life is a combination of healthy foods, yoga, exercise, massage, and a positive attitude. It's all about how much committed we are towards our health and how much dedicated we are for care of our soul along with our physical body and mind. Eating for the soul means listening to that little voice inside that knows what healthy foods generally are and the effect it will leave on our body and soul.
My soul is dark with stormy riot,
Directly traceable to diet.
