Following are a handful of comments received during 2009:
From a professional coach in Helsinki where Oscar gave clinics in May of this year:
"It's been a little more than 48 hours since you left, "Pontti" (The ski jumping coach) is very excited on the tennis court, he looks like a kid who loves his new toy...Ville has really been touched by your visit, he is looking forward to playing well in tournaments this summer...I can say that our coaches here are very excited and we will have a great season starting in August. I hope you will come back to Helsinki, so we can show you our beautiful city and culture. Next time I bet all of our coaches will be there, many of them now regret the fact they couldn't make it."
From a coach in New Hampshire:
"Watching past successes continue to bloom, many girls from the after school jr high club are now prominent members of the varsity (a strong squad standing at 12-1 and poised to make a run at states). Portsmouth High both boys and girls have had terrific runs in past several years with my little Wegner-ites at the forefront."
From a high school player in Texas:
"In 2 years I've gone from not being able to hit the ball over the net 3 times in a row to a champion! thanks to this method and a great coach!! Thanks Oscar!! Thanks coach Wright! Thanks MTM!! I'm now a big fan!!!"
From a former National Singles and Doubles Champion, Orange Bowl Winner and ACC Singles Champion:
"Oscar, I am really enjoying advising my daughter with her tennis in a new way from watching the videos and reading the book I ordered from you."
From a veteran player in Miami:
"Ive been playing tennis over 20 yrs but discovered Oscars techniques about 2 yrs ago and since it radically changed my game and approach to tennis I now tell people Ive only been playing tennis for 2 years. My previous history was the same one years experience multiplied 20 times. In fact, it seems that Oscars simple and do-able explanations to technique correct problems so much quicker than the USTA teaching approaches...when folks noticed a sudden improvement in my game I gave out the secret...I heartily recommend Oscars approach to beginners and established players alike! I just wish I was 20 years younger to absorb this tennis approach!"
From a grandmother in Southern California:
"Hi, Oscar, what an incredible treat it was for our family to have our "clinic" today! Everyone loved it. You have no idea what an impact you made, for each individual...Thanks two million times over."
From a player in the UK:
"Hi, I watched your DVD about 10 times and went out and played....my game was 10X better. People said they couldn't believe how hard and better I was hitting the ball."
From a player in NJ:
"Three years ago, at age 64, I started to learn to play tennis starting with your book. Fortunately for me, your book brought out that tennis can be simple to learn. That was for me since I was particularly interested in learning the proper fundamentals to start playing tennis. And, along the way my wife and I got hooked on watching the pros play tennis. And because of your teaching methods (book and videos), we see and understand how they do what they do. Pretty cool."
From a recently certified MTM coach in Texas:
"Students are playing really well, I couldn't be happier, and the adults have improved a lot!! I predict an MTM takeover of Texas!!!"
From a coach in Maine after a series of clinics earlier this year:
"Just wanted to say thank you again for coming up to Maine and for the great clinics that you ran. I have heard nothing but great feedback from those who participated and I know we all learned a lot."
From a MTM certified coach in Atlanta:
"I have met those who hear of your methods or have seen the videos, just can't seem to grasp the significance of these critical differences you point out. I have also met many players that do get it and love what you are doing! Thanks for your great work."
From a 6.0 player and MTM coach:
"So the reason I teach MTM is that it works. I love Oscar Wegner's comparisons of tennis to martial arts...MTM technique is like this. You learn the important mechanics, they are simple and uncomplicated. You begin, over time, to express these mechanics without thought because of their simplicity and you feel freedom. This is a very joyful state to be in when playing tennis."
From a tennis parent in New Zealand:
"I am a tennis parent with no background in tennis, but my daughter now 15 has been playing tennis since about 9 and has natural talent for the game and a driving passion. She plays year around now and attends a high performance tennis academy...When I watched it all seemed rather contrived and made to appear more difficult than it should have, but who was I to know and comments were not welcome. When I read Oscar Wegners book I showed her some of his methods and her game immediately improved, particularly footwork."
From a couple in So Cal:
"On October 17th I picked up a racquet for the first time since 1981 and it was the first time ever for my wife. A friend told me about a windshield wiper swing instead of my flat forehand swing and I sought out a local (USPTA) pro. We took one lesson for 30 minutes (where she showed us the swing) and two more hour lessons where she threw balls to us and had us hit it over the net... like I was five-years-old. Somewhere in there I bought your discs and a few weeks later we took your class. My wife was SO EXCITED that she learned to "play tennis" in three hours. She never knew how to serve, how to do a backhand or a volley."
From a player in Maryland:
"I've been a 3.5 USTA player for about 15 years, took many lessons and progressed slowly. The last 2 years I was 26-3 in the men's and senior mens division and just got moved up to 4.0 ---I'm a believer. Thanks.
From a renowned veteran of 30 years coaching domestically and internationally at every level, including high school, college, Davis Cup, ATP Tour and WTA Tour:
"I saw Oscar at the USPTA conference and purchased the DVDs. I was deeply moved by them for several reasons. I have for many years taught tennis, not as a swinging sport like golf and baseball, but as a catching and throwing sport. I consider the racquet a glove without fingers. By doing so, I tap into the natural inclinations of the athlete allowing eye/hand and foot/eye coordination to flow. I was thrilled to see it said in much the same way. I have often wondered what my forehand was like before it was tampered with and why veterans were trying to copy it. It must have been as Oscar described it."
From a coach in Florida:
"I have talked to Richard Williams 3 times through the years. He told me he used Oscar's early tennis tips to get his daughters started. I also know a boy who just got a full ride to University of Florida. His dad also used Wegner's information for his first 10 years. Oscar's presentation has been used to produce players who destroy other players trained for years by technical coaches."
From a player in Hong Kong:
"I aspired to learn tennis in 2008 to enjoy a sport that can play for a life time. Initially I learnt from a tennis coach for almost a year learning conventional teaching methods. However, I did not improve despite almost a year of weekly lessons. Finally I stopped the learning totally. I remembered early in this year when I played with my brother and his friends it's so embarrassing that I can't rally the ball and can't serve and return serve. I am so frustrated and embarrassed by the failure for playing even the most basic strokes. It leads me to read your book "Play Better Tennis in 2 Hours" in the university library and I can start learning some of your teachings. You contrasted the conventional myths and the actual pro playing. I was thrilled to clarify these myths and began to practice your principles in the book. I tell you what: I can now confidently master rallying for more than 20 balls back and forth. I can serve reliably and return serve confidently. At a leisure playing level, I "suddenly" become the best player among my friends. Most importantly, I can now enjoy tennis and at times I can hear your words of encouragements: "Perfect", "It's easy", "Excellent" and the confident smiles you appear time and again."
From a tennis teacher in New Jersey:
"About two years ago I was going blind with cataracts and believe it or not I was worried how I was going to play tennis. I came across you web site talking about waiting for the bounce and windshield wiper strokes and ordered the DVDs. It took me about 5 minutes of viewing to find out that for thirty plus years I really didn't know how to play. The more lessons I took the more I stayed the same. Great physical abilities allowed me to play well despite my training...I am built to a tee like Rafa but had powder puff strokes. In two days against the wall with your course I transformed into a animal...Guys I played thought I was lying about my eyes. Soon after I had both lenses replaced to restore my site to 20/20. I started teaching your methods because so many of the players I hit against just couldn't keep the ball in. I have transformed many of these players into great hitting partners. I find teaching, giving it away reinforces the basics of my game. Compare that to most teachers who complain that teaching hurts their game. They are teaching one game and playing another. I wish I had found you thirty -five years ago."

It is the perfect blend of holiday resort and health spa: St. Blasien in the Upper Black Forest combines scenic beauty with excellent spa and wellness facilities.
The town that was established around the abbey of St. Blasien and that shares its name is now a prime destination for all those seeking rest and relaxation and a balm for mind, body and soul.
Wonderful climate, strong traditions
By the end of the 19th century, St. Blasien had already made its name as a climatic health resort: famous personalities from around the world gathered here to reap the benefits of the therapeutic climate and to soak up the culture and atmosphere of the town. St. Blasien – together with its outlying villages of Albtal and Menzenschwand – still enjoys this reputation to this day, as well as being recognised as a specialist spa resort for respiratory health. Put simply, St. Blasien is a breath of fresh air.
Relieving pain with healing waters
Central to the spa facilities is Radon Revital, the modern thermal baths set in idyllic natural surroundings in Menzenschwand and fed by the healing waters of two radon springs from the nearby Krunkelbach valley. If used in the prescribed manner, the water is said to help alleviate rheumatic conditions and chronic pains.
Summer or winter, it's the very essence of relaxation
Simply the thought of a perfect walking or cycling holiday in St. Blasien is enough to relieve aches and pains. The town is also worth a visit in itself for its imposing cathedral, its pretty shops and its excellent restaurants and cafés – or for the international cathedral concerts in the summer. And, of course, St. Blasien is a great base for exploring the surrounding Black Forest, where the highlights include Mount Feldberg, Lake Albsee and the broad tranquil valleys.

I had considered commenting on this news by writing a tongue-in-cheek post about how maybe Favre wasn't trying to stick it to Ted, but in fact, he was looking out for the Packers all along by signing with the Vikes. I would have argued that Favre figured he could pull one over on the rival he used to hate so much by going there, playing out of his mind and putting the team in a great position at 8-1 or so. Then management would feel pressure to consider extending Childress (something the Packers having been hoping would happen, for their sake). Childress would sign the extension. Then Favre would do everything possible to orchestrate a mighty collapse down the stretch (actually this would be accomplished mostly by no longer disregarding Chilly's ideas) – making Vikings' management strongly regret the decision to extend Childress. Favre might gain back some of his Packer supporters – leaving MN with 4 more years of Brad Childress as coach.
I decided not to write that post though because the problem is, Brad Childress has the Vikings at 8-1 and in a surprising number of games this season, he appears to have out-coached his counterpart. Certainly he has out-coached Green Bay's Mike McCarthy twice. Now, I'd prefer to attribute the Vikes' success to the other coaches, Favre, Adrian Peterson, the defense, the fact that he has a team so loaded with talent it would be hard NOT to squeeze success out of them – anything or anyone but Childress. But the fact is, as much as I hate to say it, Brad Childress hasn't done a terrible job so far this year.
Now that I've puked up that difficult confession, would I have extended him if I were management? Absolutely not. At least not at this point in the season. He has not been a good coach in the years leading up to this one and I don't think it's a stretch to say the talented teams from previous years seriously underachieved. And importantly, despite the team's success this year, Childress is still making coaching errors that hurt his team.
But it is the fat-new-contract-curse most players/coaches have to fend off that has me hopeful. If things play out according to the curse, Childress should start cranking out some shocking losses for the team really soon – perhaps starting this weekend with a loss to Seattle.

Television station WJAC in Johnstown, Pa., is citing sources who say that's what Sandusky's been up to since he was taken off suicide watch sometime after being put behind bars in late June.
It would be Sandusky's second book; he had made his literary debut in 2001 with his unfortunately titled autobiography, Touched. This is from WJAC's report:
Sources told 6 News at first, it was believed Sandusky was writing his version of events that he wants to read at his sentencing.
Now, those sources said Sandusky is apparently working on writing a second book, and doing so with the help of his wife, Dottie.
Sources said there has been so much paperwork exchanged between Jerry and Dottie, [sic] that Dottie has had her written correspondence privileges suspended by prison officials.

Here are some encouraging stories from the front line against smoking. It's a desperate struggle at times but our members share their gutsy approaches that have gotten them through the tough times.
Beach Gal writes:
10 months on Nov 15!
Weight has plateaued at 15lbs gained. 48 years old with perimenopause too.
So here are my thoughts….you have to surrender to the fact you might gain some weight or even maybe alot. We've done years of damage to our metabolisms and it will take time to correct that. Also, surrender to the fact you might not be your size 6 or 8 anymore. So what? We don't smoke. Nothing is more ugly than smoking. There are plenty of heavier women out there who embody beauty. Their spirit shines and they have confidence and self esteem. Smoking robs us of both. Have you ever tried dating online? NO ONE wants to date a smoker.
Anyway, single or married, it doesn't matter. We matter. I have never laughed so much in my life as I have in the last 2 months. Really laughed. And this while I'm unemployed, my father has cancer, my dog died, and my boyfriend and I are on the rocks. We come first. Period.
Regarding weight…..if you have an "orange theory fitness" near you, join. It's the cost of 1 month of smoking and will reinforce your quit. Great for us gals in our 40′s 50′ and 60′s too. They know how to get your metabolism cranking. 3 days a week. And could you be drinking a little more wine than usual? I found that I started drinking too much wine….and i don't even like wine. So had to cut that out!
Here is what V has to say about quitting the cigarette habit:
I agree that the weight was the worst thing. As unhappy as I am about the weight, I am so very happy that I have been quit for 1 year now. With the money I have saved, I have picked up some other hobbies that I enjoy so much, that I would never be able to afford by wasting my money on cancer sticks daily. And, not to mention the health benefits, like being able to breathe, by not sucking down those stupid things. I feel so free when I watch or listen to people scramble trying to figure out how long the cigarettes they have in their pack will last because they don't have the money or the time to get to the store for another pack, or they can't wait to leave a non-smoking establishment. I'm not unhappy because I'm fat, it's just a minor set back. Maybe there are days I get upset over it, but it doesn't cause me to be an unhappy person. I hope you can overcome your fear of whatever weight gain you may have (it is different for everyone).
Lizzy adds her experience:
Elisa, the benefits of quitting are unreal. I have my first cold since this all happened, yes I still have the weight gain, its not been a year quite yet and I have to say this cold is quite different then I have ever had, it has not settled into my lungs. The weight has leveled off and it seems i am turning the fat into muscle by walking so much. Elisa you have gotten over the nicotine in the system, you need to cut the habit of hands and grabbing, you will be fine, not all people gain 40 or 50 pounds. I have always been a size 6 and now a 12 to 14 and yes that's killing me, but it too will pass, i have never breathed so deeply in my life. i have never smelt things quite the way I smell them now, and wow food is so different too. You will gradually find out all these things. Honestly the worst thing was the weight gain, but the other benefits make up for some of that.

DragonCon 2009
This year was the first time I attended DragonCon, and what an experience! The staff there really know what the phrase "southern hospitality" means. Everyone was kind, informative, and handled my questions perfectly. The great thing about this event was that there were tons of resources for fans and guests alike. Information booths, guest services, a flood of volunteers, all made this a really fun event. Next year, I hope to attend again and experience more of what this amazing Con has to offer.

A Mother's Wisdom -- A Sermon for Mother's Day (repost)
As I'm not preaching today, I'm reposting a sermon for Mother's Day preached on May 8, 2011. I invite you to read and contemplate the role of the mother as well as the feminine images for God that are present in Scripture.
8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.9 They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. (NIV, 2011)
Today is Mother's Day, which celebrates a very special relationship between mother and child, and by extension - children and parents. Mother's Day, along with Father's Day, celebrates the importance of family, and it's a good thing to celebrate these relationships. But we should also remember that Jesus had a broader vision of family than do most of us. Do you remember what he said when his mother came looking for him? He pointed to his disciples and said:
"Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Matthew 12:49-50).
As we take to heart this word about family, we can then listen to the wisdom we find in Proverbs, which calls on us to listen to our parents and follow their instructions so that life might be good. It's a message that's also present in the commandment to "Honor your Father and Mother." Of course, if children - whatever their ages -- actually listened to their mothers, that would make for a very happy Mother's Day!
1. The Dangerous Ideal
Although we're not all mothers, we all have mothers: Biological and adoptive, room moms and dorm moms, good mothers and not so good mothers. There are happy moms and sad ones, stay-at-home moms and working moms; moms by choice and moms by accident.
If you want to know how to be the ideal mother (and wife), then read Proverbs 31.
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.12 She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.14 She is like the merchant ships,bringing her food from afar.15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (NIV, 2011)
This chapter can offer a liberating word for women, after all, the writer affirms their industriousness and intelligence. But, the downside of this chapter is that it seems to suggest that you have to be Superwoman to be a good mother and wife. The ideal woman is one who works and works night and day making sure the house is run well, the poor are tended to, and her husband has the freedom to sit at the city gates and talk politics with the other city leaders. As you listen to these words, you quickly realize that this is an unattainable ideal. If you tried to attain to this standard, you would end up exhausted. And yet, despite the unattainable nature of this ideal, this ode to the ideal woman, reminds us that mothers play an important role in the life both of the family and beyond the family. If we take to heart this message, then both mothers and fathers hear a call to be loving guides to their children, who provide instruction from the heart.
2. A Child Listens for the Mother's Voice
In speaking of the blessings that come from listening to the voice of our parents, the writers of Proverbs describe a relationship that mirrors the one that Jesus speaks of when he talks about the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep. That is, even as the sheep hear and follow the Master's voice, so the child hears and follows the mother's voice. Jesus says that the sheep know the shepherd's voice because the shepherd spends time with the sheep. This is what we call bonding, and if you watch a mother and a baby together, you'll see how that bond is built from the very beginning of a baby's life!
Parents build relationships with their children by attending Scout meetings, band concerts, swim meets, football games, and helping with homework - when they can. Sometimes it involves going to the hospital and parent-teacher conferences. Parents read stories to their children and maybe even engage in tickle fights. They eat together and go to museums and zoos. Kids don't always show it, but deep down most of them are grateful for this relationship.
I will confess that I didn't always heed my mother's voice, but I always knew she was there for me. Because she took the time to build a relationship with me when I was very young, I have always known that I could count on her being there when I was in need.
3. A Mother Stands and Protects Her Children.
Good parents, like good shepherds, don't run away when danger strikes. That is, they don't abandon their lambs to the wolves. No, when danger is present, they stand firm, even at the cost of their own lives.
Parents seem to have this deeply planted innate concern for the welfare of their children. It's not just human parents. It's also true of the animal kingdom. That's why you had better not ever approach a bear cub playing alone. It's very likely that an extremely protective mother is standing close by, ready to jump in and defend her cub. So don't tempt fate by getting too close! This attribute is so innate to mothers, human or not, that we find it incomprehensible when we hear about a mother killing or abandoning her children. It's just not natural. Now, I will admit, sometimes mothers can be a bit overprotective, but you have to understand where they're coming from!
4. Mothers as Models of God's Presence
As we contemplate the relationship of mothers and their children, it's appropriate to also consider the feminine images of God that are present in Scripture. We're used to addressing God as Father and imagining God in masculine terms. We address God as Father when we pray the Lord's Prayer and when we sing the Gloria Patri, which describes God in Trinitarian terms as God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But these aren't the only ways we can address God.
If we listen closely to the Scriptures, we find numerous examples of God described in feminine and even motherly terms. For instance, in Deuteronomy we read about the "God who gave you birth" (Deut. 32:18), and in Isaiah, Israel describes God as the one who bore Israel from birth and carried Israel from the womb (Is. 46:3). Hosea speaks of God's relationship with Israel in especially motherlike ways, saying: "I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them" (Hos. 11:4). In Isaiah 66 we read: "As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you . . . " (Isa. 66:13). Then there is that passage in Luke where Jesus describes himself as a mother hen desiring to gather up her chicks (Luke 13:34). Then there's Holy Wisdom, which is understood as describing God in feminine terms, while the Hebrew word for Spirit - ruach - is a feminine noun. God is also described as a mother eagle and a mother bear and as a woman seeking after a lost coin. Each of these images and ideas remind us that if we think of God solely in masculine terms then we've missed part of the biblical understanding of God.
So, as we celebrate Mother's Day, if you've not already done so, perhaps this is a good time to expand your vision of God's nature, so that we might truly understand how humanity expresses the image of God as both male and female (Gen. 1:27). And as we do this, let us give thanks for God's gift of mothers and then think about the qualities that are present in our mothers, which reflect the nature of God.
While we're doing this remembering and celebrating, we might want to remember that Mother's Day can be a difficult day for many. It might be a day of grief for those who remember a beloved mother who has died. It might also be a time of remembering a child who has died. Then there are the women who have found it impossible to bear a child. We need to keep them in our hearts and honor their grief.
If we can do this, then we can also give thanks for the love and grace that God expresses to us in and through our mothers. We can also remember that God comes to us not only as Father, but also as Mother. This is the vision laid out for us in the words of a hymn written by Ruth Duck.
Womb of Life, and Source of Being, home of every restless heart,in your arms the worlds awakened; you have loved us from the start.We your children, gather 'round you at the table you prepare.Sharing stories, tears and laughter, we are nurtured by your care.(Chalice Hymnal, #14).
May we honor our mothers and receive from God, God's nurturing care so that we might find rest for our restless heart.

US military spokesman Lt. Col. J. Todd Breasseale, blew off a legitimate editor's query concerning analysis of the "computer generated forgery" posted online by the White House as being mere nonsense. "We can only assume that your query is not a legitimate question and is some sort of nonsensical joke," Breasseale commented via Email to Sharon Rondeau, editor of The Post & Email. He is calling her very reasonable inquiry nothing more than a web "absurdity". "We are happy to consider reality-based requests, but do not entertain absurdities from the web," replied "Todd" in an insulting try at familiarity.
Meanwhile, the 69 page affidavit of lead investigator Mike Zullo is filed as evidence in the Alabama Supreme Court's review of findings by a lower court which also tossed inquiry into authenticity of the WH computer image. The Zullo court document reads, at point # 26: "All in attendance agreed unanimously that the WH computer image, pdf file contained anomalies that were un-explainable unless the document had been fabricated piecemeal by human intervention, rather than being copied from a genuine paper document". Zullo is presenting the results of months of investigation by the Sheriff Arpaio forensic team into the nine layered computer image put on the official WH website. The team of long time forensic and law enforcement investigators, retired military members, physicians, and computer CEO's and attorneys concluded "the certificate of live birth. . .is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate."
The Zullo affidavit presents to the court this statement: "fabricated forgery-violation of the AZ criminal statue and the federal statues…may have taken place." The Arpaio team is calling for a full blown Congressional investigation as the nation awaits the decision of the Alabama Supreme Court. At point # 35 is this lightening bolt: "It was now demonstrated beyond probable cause that the WH website document was an utter forgery." The forensic team suggests that crimes may involve "fraudulent creation of an official document, forgery of a governmental birth record, and deception of voters and state election commissioners across the country." In total, 207 points of assertion are contained in the Zullo sworn statement. In spite of the fact that SEVENTEEN different records never have been released by President Barack Obama, (at point # 207), the military spokesman known as "Todd," along with the mainstream media, Congress, and nationwide elected officials continue to ignore what is going on in the Alabama Supreme Court proceedings.
Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the Obama passport records have never been released to the American public, nor have the incoming INS foreign flight passenger cards for the Obama birth week of August 2, 1961, ever been found! The Zullo investigators say in their court evidentiary document that these flight manifest identifications are "completely missing from the microfilm roll" of the INS.
Web absurdities, anomalies, a nine page computer generated forgery? Will we every know?

A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, PicarOS, Elive 3, and AntiX 13.

Mageia and Mandriva
I've been using Mandriva since April, 2009. Thanks to this distribution, I realized that it was possible to operate a computer without Windows, despite I once believed that such an idea was unthinkable.
Of course, two years of commitment with this beautiful Mandriva OS have taught me a lot. My migration to Linux was a success because of the performance of this distribution.
However, Mandriva is now at the crossroads. Yes, here's where the road divides for the desktop distribution and the 11-year-old Linux company . The financial situation of the company has pushed a significant group of Mandriva developers to fork and they have started a new project: Mageia. This project comes as winds of hope for those of us who love the desktop distribution and that were puzzled by Mandriva S.A.'s secretism. Mageia's boat is full of seasoned Linux sailors and this new project was applauded in the community forum.
Shortly after the announcement about Mageia was made, Mandriva S.A. finally posted an official statement on the future of the distribution. Read about it here. So, it seems that the company does not want to let Mandriva (the distro) fall into oblivion.
The reaction to this new post in the forum showed opinions that collided. Some users want to stay with Mandriva; some others place their confidence on the Mageia project. All agree on the need to wait and see how events progress.
Will Mandriva come back stronger from its ashes, as a Phoenix? Will Mageia replace Mandriva and claim the heritage of Mandrake?
I suppose a year's wait will bring the answers to those two questions.
3 comentarios:
So, finally Mandriva S.A. communicated something. Pretty reassuring, I'd say. However, caution is the best bet. The Mageia project wouldn't have started if Mandriva S.A. had made its official statement sooner, so the whole desktop and community commitment thing Mandriva mentioned might be a remedial action after hearing about Mageia.ResponderEliminar
I really hope Mandriva is solid. The latest Mandriva 2010 Spring is the best and its working great. I know sometimes things change, but when its working, its working.ResponderEliminar
I agree. 2010 Spring is great.ResponderEliminar

Raising chickens in your backyard is becoming a national fad.
Raising chickens in your backyard is becoming a national fad.
There has been a push to change land use codes to allow for small-scale poultry production in large cities and towns. More people want to raise their own chickens for eggs and meat.
However, raising poultry is not for everyone.
Before purchasing poultry, determine what county and city codes affect your property. Then, consider limiting the impact of poultry on your neighborhood. Poultry can bring unwanted smells and insects if improperly managed. Your yard needs a dry area to house the poultry.
Next, consider chick care. Baby chicks must be kept at around 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the first week and then decrease 5 degrees each week until they are more than 5 weeks old. These young birds also need special chick starter feed until they are 8 weeks old, when you can switch them to a chick grower feed.
Chicks must be 20 weeks old before they receive adult feeds. If your backyard flock is for laying eggs, separate the roosters and hens at 20 weeks. Roosters are really of no use if you just want laying hens. The hens must be fed a layer ration.
Chickens are vulnerable to parasites � like worms, mites and lice � and diseases. Put them in a clean, dry habitat. This will help decrease internal and external parasites and reduce the need to use pesticides to control them. Additionally, ask a local vet about diseases prevalent in your area.
We recently had a fowl pox outbreak, so I would recommend vaccinating against this disease.
Coops should have at least two solid sides and a roof that will protect chickens from the wind and rain. The structure can be fixed or mobile. A mobile coop makes sanitation easier by spreading manure around the yard so that it does not accumulate in one location.
Whether fixed or mobile, coops must be sturdy enough to keep out predators. Additionally, chickens need a minimum of three square feet of floor space per bird.
Finally, chicken manure is nitrogen-rich; you must fertilize less if using manure.

President Obama's FOIA Memorandum and Attorney General Holder's FOIA Guidelines
On January 21, 2009, President Obama issued a Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government urging all federal executive departments and agencies that FOIA "should be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails." He called on agencies to "adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure" and to apply that presumption "to all decisions involving [the] FOIA." This presumption of disclosure includes taking "affirmative steps to make information public," and applying "modern technology to inform citizens about what is known and done by their Government." In response to this, on March 19, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder issued FOIA Guidelines reiterating and stressing the President's commitment to accountability and transparency. The Guidelines emphasize that the FOIA is to be administered with the presumption of openness. This presumption means that information should not be withheld "simply because [an agency] may do so legally." Further, the Attorney General has directed that whenever full disclosure of a record is not possible, agencies "must consider whether [they] can make partial disclosure." The Attorney General also "strongly encourage[s] agencies to make discretionary disclosure of information."

Within the USPTO Web site you will find a wealth of public information available at your fingertips. If the information you are seeking is already publicly available somewhere on the USPTO Web site, you will be able to review it on-line or download it for future use.
A great place to start is the USPTO Site Index., which links to recent publications and reference materials.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal statute which affords any person the right to obtain federal agency records, unless the records (or a part of the records) are protected from disclosure by any of the nine exemptions contained in the law. On October 2, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (E-FOIA, for short). E-FOIA makes it possible for you to have electronic access to the USPTO FOIA Reading Room, offering such information as Final Agency Decisions.
If you check all these resources for public information but you still don't see what you need, then you may consider filing a FOIA request. FOIA is a federal law which entitles you to any federal agency record as long as one of the FOIA exemptions does not apply. Only records within the USPTO's possession and control as of the date of receipt of a FOIA request will be searched.

Product FAQs
Help and How to Use
What is the suitable room size for my humidifier?
What is the difference between a Vaporizer and a Humidifier?
A vaporizer adds water to the air, which helps clear sinus passages. A humidifier adds moister to dry air to help protect your skin and reduce static electricity in the air.
What should I do if my humidifier is spitting liquid or if the moisture output is excessive?
To eliminate this problem, try the following: If the room's relative humidity is more than 60%, turn off the humidifier and ventilate the room. If any liquid medicine or inhalant had been added to water, clean humidifier thoroughly according to its instructions.
What should I do if my humidifier makes a popping noise?
Try tapping the end of the water pump approximately 3/4 of an inch up to the motor cover to eliminate the popping noise.
What should I do if my humidifier produces inadequate mist?
To eliminate this problem, do the following: Make sure that there are no "teeth" missing from the screen under the motor head assembly. Verify that the reservoir is not overfilled. Be sure that the impeller tip is not blocked.
What should I do if my humidifier produces no steam, and the power indicator light is not lit?
Do the following:
- Check if the plug is connected to a live 120V AC outlet.
- Check if there is water in the chamber underneath the tank.
- Check if the unit is positioned on a flat surface and if the tip-over switch is activated. The power light will not be on if the tip-over switch is not activated.
What should I do if the unit does not get power?
Make sure the unit is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet. Check that the outlet is working properly by testing it with a lamp or other electric appliance. If the problem persists, contact Customer Service for further assistance.
What should I do if the unit does not produce air or mist?
If your humidifier does not produce air or mist, check if the tank has water in it.
What should I do if there is White Dust Accumulation?
The tap water you use might be hard or high in minerals. We recommend that you use distilled water or a combination of half distilled and half tap water.
At what water level will the indicator signal that the water level is low?
The indicator will be near the "empty" mark when the water level in the tank is at or below the half-full point.
At what water level will the indicator signal that the water level is low?
The indicator will be near the "empty" mark when the water level in the tank is at or below the half-full point.
My Nebulizer is not working. What should I do?
Try the following: Turn mist output nozzle to allow for more mist. Place unit on a level surface. Clean nebulizer and sensor with the provided brush and refill with distilled water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
When does the refill light come on for the Evaporative Humidifier (model #1115)?
The light will illuminate if the unit runs out of water. If the light illuminates with water still in the unit, try the following: Unplug the humidifier and take off the motor housing. Look for a plastic bobber inside. Wiggle it because it may be a little tight. Put the motor housing back on and turn the unit on.
Why isn't my humidifier producing mist even though the water tank is full?
Here are a few possible causes:
- Unit is not on a level surface.
- There are mineral deposits on nebulizer or sensor.
- Water tank had been washed with a detergent.

Gettin' Figgy with WEN Hair Care
LA stylist Chaz Dean is one of my new heroes. Why? He's come out with a vegan-friendly and cruelty-free line of hair (and skin) care products that cater to my crusty hair needs (sans the chemicals and sulfates). His unique line of salon-quality, multi functional beauty care is called WEN. Bookmark this website. Not only can you buy his amazing creations but you can watch instructional videos and learn valuable hair-saving tips (hear hear, all you flat iron & blow dryin' peeps!)
WEN products that stole my heart… and my hair (for the best):
Fig Cleansing Conditioner ($28 for 16 oz pump bottle): Everything in the fig line is designed for people with extremely dry or damaged hair—that's me, for shiz! Btw, they have different products for all hair types. This product is beyond amazing because not only does it leave your hair smooth and shiny, it also smells ridiculously yummy, and it's a multi-tasking machine! Check it out… this product can be used as a cleanser (for doggies, too), conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler, leave-in conditioner and shaving cream. Day-um! I plan on trying this cleansing conditioner out in every way possible. At this point, I've only used it as a conditioner, and it's divine. It's a nice thick formula, and the longer you leave it on your hair, the better.
Fig Replenishing Treatment Mist ($32 for 6 oz bottle): This spray can be used on your hair and all over your body! I've been using this spray on my hair (sort of as a light leave-in conditioner)—after towel-drying and before blow drying. Again, I love the fig scent. I never really knew what figs smelled like before, but me likey.
Fig Styling Creme ($24 for 6 oz bottle): It's a leave-in conditioner, polishing gloss and hair gel in one product! Notice a trend? WEN likes to keep things simple and allow their products to multitask. Ultimately, that saves you money, space and time. What I like most about this styling creme is that it tames my frizzy mane. I have a funky hair type that's neither straight nor curly… I guess you could say it's wavy, but my waves aren't consistent or smooth. The product helps define my hair and gives it a li'l 'tude.
Now that I've experience figtastic hair, I've decided to incorporate more fig into my life. I had my boo pick up some raw green figs at TJ's the other day, and now I'm on the hunt for everything fig. If you have any fig tips, recipes or know of any other figgy beauty products out there, please lemme know! xo
About Sunny (Sunny's Profile)Longtime vegan, hardcore compassionate beauty junkie, serious cake aficionado, and lover of all things floofy and sparkly!

Hi, Thank you so much for the info on WEN hair products.
I googled to make sure that it was not tested on animals before I tried to buy it.
As for 'FiGs', I love home-made Fig Squares! Not sure if your last name is Armenian but it looks like it is; here in Watertown, MA, there's lots of Armenian Food Stores with many Fig food products. Most however use loads of Butter, so I try making them at home with Vegan ingredients.
– I want to try to make a Fig Pudding next, and some Fig Jam.
Will research Figs in beauty and healing uses next! Thank you again.
i ADORE figs in my late summer salads. mmmmm love fresh figs. who'da thunk. where've they been all my life. I grew up knowing fig newtons. which are good, don't get me wrong, but NOTHING compares to fresh figs, drizzled with a batch of yummy cashew creme. mmmmm
So my girlfriend turned me on to Wen – and I pretty much worship the ground she walks on now. 🙂
The Fig smells divine – perfect for damaged and curly hair.
My hair is pretty fine. It is wavy in some spots while straight in others (and YES it can be a hot mess). I find the Lavender Wen is perfect: Does not weigh down the straight parts of my hair, but adds juuuuust the right amount of weight to the curls/waves so they don't get frizzy.
Now, the only time I use shampoo is when I want to wash out a little color because Wen will not wash out color – or at least very, very little.
Highly recommended! 🙂
I have 2 fig recommendations for you, but they're food products:
1)Dalmatia – Fig Spread & Orange Fig Spread. They're made with Adriatic figs from the Mediterranean. They are both delicious on "cheese", scones, as a marinade – you can get creative with it. I buy them at a local gourmet market here in Sac, but think they're sold at Whole Foods as well. (http://www.dalmatiaimports.com/)
2)Mountain Fruit Cos. – The Fig Galaxy, Black Mission Fig Jam. Their jams are all produced by hand in small batches in Chico. This jam is all natural, with no preservatives, contains over 77% whole fruit, and is YUM! I love this jam on toast, but it's also good on ice cream. It's also sold at Whole Foods.
Bon appetit!
My hair is similar to yours (from your description). I can't wait to try these products out! It's hard to find good vegan hair products. Thank you.
I was just reading an article about figs being beneficial for skin, so I'm excited check this stuff out!
The Fig Replenishing Treatment Mist sounds divine.
Thanks for the tip. Here in Upstate, NY it feels like the perfect fall weather for something 'fig'…even if it is for your hair. :o)

Autographs: John Ely
June 5, 2010 AT&T Culver City, California
I met many readers of this blog on this great day. I won't dare to shout out the names because I know some names will be forgotten. But thanks to all those that said hello.
By the way, I almost forgot. I will shout out one name. One of the writers of "Sons of Steve Garvey" approached me. This is the second time I met a writer from this blog. The first writer I met was "Steve Sax" Click here if you don't remember.
This time I met "Alex Cora"
I was speaking with a friend when Mr. Cora approaches me and says "Roberto? Vin Scully Blog?"
I say yes, this is Roberto. He says he's "Alex" from Sons of Steve Garvey. I smile. My friend laughs. I wanted to grab a camera and shoot a picture so everyone can see the real face of "Alex Cora" !!!!
But I didn't. I respect their privacy. They are big time bloggers who don't want to be disturbed by the normal folks. "Alex" did say "I love your blog!" What a great guy. And he didn't call me Ronaldo!
Awesome. Now I only need to meet the other five writers. "Guerrero" is still with us, right?
On to my little story...
There were a couple of autograph appearances on this day. I decided to meet John Ely. The new kid. I got so many items signed by Jonathan Broxton, so I don't really need him. I got a couple of items signed by Casey Blake too. Let's get the rookie!
I would say about 25 fans were ahead of me. A great crowd came out. I'm sure nothing like Blake's event but it was still great. The signing started at 11:30am. Ely showed up early and started signing a couple of minutes after arriving. I brought two official Rawlings MLB Balls.
The AT&T and KABC employees were great. No rules were specified. I heard one employee say "one autograph" but I noticed Ely signing multiple autographs. They also allowed photos. Ely was nice enough to pose for pictures and talk with the fans. Good times!
My two autographed Baseballs:
A video that I shot while he was signing...

Awsome pics. I really wanted to get to this event. Do you know what time Ely stopped signing?
Yeah, Casey Blake's event was insanity. Plus, no pictures and only one signature.

- Roberto Baly said...
I was done before 12pm... I'm not sure. A buddy told me he was one the last one at exactly 1pm!
About Casey Blake... I've been getting a lot of e-mails about that event. Looks like it was a zoo!
- June 6, 2010 at 7:22 AM
- Dodgerbobble said...
Roberto - yeah it was a zoo. When we left at 12:30, there must have been 1,200 more people in line.

Roberto- I looked for you! Couldn't find you. Next time I guess.
I'll send you a pic of what he signed for me when I have some time. You'll enjoy it, I think.

I was there with 3 of my kids. My little girl is a BIG Casey fan! Here are my observations from the Casey Blake session.
1. About a third of the people there still thought Andre was going to sign autographs. Tons of ppl had Ethier memorabilia. This would explain the large turnout.
2. Prior to noon ppl came out of their cars as ppl they know were holding a spot in line for them. So instead of us being in the 250-300 range we became 300-400 range. That sucked! Should have handed out wristbands a lot earlier.
3. Casey quit exactly 1 PM. Security states his wife laid down the law.
4. Met a guy who also follows VSIMH blog and we spread the word about the best Dodgers blog!
- June 6, 2010 at 12:07 PM
- Greg Zakwin said...
Someone at the Ely signing said they had switched it back to Ethier. Perhaps that contributed to the large turnout.

- Alex Cora said...
Roberto pense escribirte mi en mi idioma principal, en espanol. Fue un placer ver te el Sabado. Gracias por mencionarme en tu blog y por mantener mi privacidad. Tu amigo, Alex.
- June 6, 2010 at 1:12 PM
- DodgerJam said...
CuCuy Catcher- thanks for the great info regarding the Blake signing. What is interesting to read was, the fact that you mentioned so many people there thought Ethier was going to still be there. I am guessing that left a lot of disappointed people in line. Like Roberto says, "always confirm". That said, I wonder if the Verizon people even knew about Andre canceling out? I know when I called a week or two before, they still thought he was going to be there- even though I already heard he canceled. Sucks too about those who don't wait in line, then show up right before the signing shows to "cut/jump" in with their friends

matthew mcconaughey's long lost brother lol... he talks just like him too!! ... pretty crazy o.O

Sorry guys, I was out with the family all day...
@ dodgerbobble - That's crazy. I'm sure many fans thought it was still Ethier...
@ Dusty Baker - From SOSG, yes. But he's still alive :)
@ KempKershaw - Next time, no worries.
@ cucuy catcher - Thanks! I really appreciated :)
@ Alex Cora - Eres bien chistoso. Gracias por los saludos :)
@ DodgerJam - Verizon knew last week that it was canceled. A friend even told me they had a huge Blake poster with the appearance info...
@ rai909 - Yeah but Ely hasn't dated Penelope Cruz :)
- June 6, 2010 at 9:46 PM
- cucuy catcher said...
Security knew but some people were saying that it was still being advertised during games. All the chicks were there to see Andre and almost all stood in line anyway.
- June 7, 2010 at 10:51 AM
lol I agree with rai909. Am I the only one that thinks John is ridiculously gorgeous? haha I didn't know about his appearance until it was too late. Just started following your blog Roberto. I really enjoy reading it. It's also very helpful :)

The lawyers involved in these cases need to be really skilled in handling divorce cases. In addition to this, the messy custody battles that often characterize divorce cases between high profile personalities also require a good amount of skill from lawyers. However, this does not mean that only high profile personalities can have access to good divorce or family lawyers in Los Angeles. This is because there are a number of sources or options from which people can gain access to good divorce lawyers. To more details-Family Lawyer CulverCity

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are planning a baby, a Star magazine report said this week. But the 31-year-old "Total Recall" actress is worried about the impact that a baby will have on her career.
''Now that they're married and Justin has made it clear he is devoted to Jess, there is no reason not to start a family," a source told the magazine. "
However, she knows her body will take a hit. A lot of her roles are based on sex appeal so she is definitely nervous but she wants this. She's 100 percent focused on making it happen.," the source added.
The celebrity power couple cemented their five-year courtship in October 2012, with an Italian wedding attended by 100 guests. Jimmy Fallon and Timbaland were among the wedding's high-profile attendees.
Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres in April, Timberlake gushed about his marriage to his "best friend."
Every once in a while I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn't see me looking and I have this moment when I'm like, 'If you never make a good decision, if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life, you made one really good decision. It's nice to marry your friend, it's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me.

CLEMSON, SC – Clemson center Dalton Freeman and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins have been named All-Americans by the Associated Press. Freeman, a graduate student from Pelion, SC, was named the second-team center, while Hopkins, a junior from Central, SC was named third-team wide receiver.
Freeman has started 48 consecutive games at center for the Tigers and has played more plays than any other player in Clemson history. He has been a starter on three Clemson teams that have been champion or co-champion of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference, including 2011 when the Tigers won the ACC Championship.
Freeman was also named a second-team CoSIDA Academic All-American this year. He is the fourth football player in Clemson history to be name All-American on the field and academic All-American in the same year. Earlier he was named a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, the first center to make a first-team in school history.
Hopkins has been named a second or third-team All-American by five services. In 2012 he has 69 receptions for 1214 yards and 16 touchdowns. He ranks second in the nation in touchdown receptions and it is a Clemson record. He needs just one touchdown catch against LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl to tie the ACC single season record. That would also establish the ACC record for consecutive games with a touchdown catch. He has a streak of nine active entering the bowl game.
Hopkins has caught at least one pass in 35 consecutive games over three years. The Clemson record is 36 by Jerry Butler from 1975-78, so Hopkins can tie that mark as well in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. He already holds Clemson career records for touchdown receptions and receiving yards.

PEOPLE MATTER at L'Oréal
• More Women among Our Top People
L'Oréal has long been a leader in gender equality. Worldwide, as of 2018, women account for 69% of our workforce, 47% of our management committee members, 31% of our Executive Committee members and 54% of our key positions.
We are certified by EDGE (Economic Dividends for Gender Equality) and GEEIS (Gender Equality European and International Standard) in 29 countries. These two independent organizations conduct in-depth, rigorous audits of current staff and hiring policies and we are proud to meet their strict equality standards.
Equileap, a non-profit organization and the first global database to rank 3,000 publically listed companies on gender equality, ranked L'Oréal the top gender-balanced company in Europe in 2018. Among other distinctions, the United Nations granted L'Oréal the CEO Leadership Award for Gender Equality and the Group is included among the Bloomberg 2018 Gender-Equality Index which highlights companies that have made strong commitments to gender equality.
• Welcoming People of every Social, Economic and Multicultural Origins
As a global enterprise, L'Oréal is inherently multi-cultural. Since we provide beauty products for people from every background and every continent, diversity within our company is not only fair, it is good business.
Designing and marketing products for the international market is done better when team members themselves come from a wide range of ethnic and social groups. Studies have also proven that the more diverse the team, the more effective the decisions they make: The greater the variety of viewpoints the greater the chances for success. We see evidence of it every day.
L'Oréal was a founding member of the first Diversity Charter in France in 2004. Since then we have signed and helped create similar charters in 15 countries. In 2018, we were recognized by Thomson Reuters as one of the Top 10 in the world for Diversity & Inclusion from a list of over 5,000 companies.
• Enabling Disabled People
People with disabilities bring unique experiences and ideas to the table. Like every sort of diversity, different types of capacities and points of view enhance our mission. L'Oréal values people for their personal qualities, their skills and their contributions.
By the end of 2018, L'Oréal employed 1 177 people with disabilities. That is not enough and we are endeavoring to attract greater numbers of differently-abled people. Keeping in mind that 71% of disabilities are invisible, our offices around the world are instituting awareness programs to ensure that our workplaces are welcoming to disabled people and adapted to their needs. We hope such efforts will encourage them to seek positions with us and to stay with us.

I love to document life, in videos, writing, art and photos so I am jumping on this thoughtful and inspiring project, Mom Before Mom, started by Carla at All of Me Now.
Carla explains the idea behind Mom Before Mom: "So much of memory keeping is focused on capturing our children's experience but what of our own? Who will capture the mother's journey as a woman? Who will honor our journey if we don't honor it first?
My hope is to make this a community effort. To gather a group of women, writers, storytellers who are eager to write from the heart and share themselves. So I invite you to join me."
I've accepted her invitation, see the Mom Before Mom category for more of my posts in this series:
How did you get your name?
How did you celebrate childhood birthdays?
What was your childhood bedroom like?
What was your favorite home cooked meal?
This week's prompt: What kind of car did your family drive? What played on the radio? Where did you sit? Take us on a road trip.
Do you remember Paula and Carol on the kid's show, The Magic Garden?
As soon as I read this prompt, the first thing I thought of was my Mom's old yellow Vega with wood paneled sides. My sister, Beth, and I would pull the seat belts from the front (did they even make seat belts in the backseat in the 70's?) and we would make swings out of them. We'd sit on the straps pretending to be long-haired, guitar-playing singers. The yellow Vega, good times.
The next family car I remember is another imitation-wood paneled mobile, a green station wagon, in which we all begged to sit in "the way back," the seat that faced backwards. No one was buckled in. We'd sometimes even stand up behind my Dad driving and rub his shoulders or sit on "the hump" in the middle of the floor of the back seat.
In later years, my Mom drove Hondas and my Dad drove Buicks, though there was the impractical, sporty white Mazda RX7 that my Mom loved until she got stuck on a steep hill with the standard shift! That was a fun car, not a family car.
On night drives, Beth and I would look out the windows and play a hide-and-seek kind of game with the moon. "Moon, moon, come out, come out, wherever you are," and we'd search for it on different sides of the car as we followed the winding roads.
Behind the car memories that make me smile, I have a hazy vision of using the seat lines to divide up space between my brother, sister and me. These were creases that could not be crossed without peals of "Ma-om! He's on my side!"
One car had an 8-track player and we'd listen to Tony Orlando and Dawn, The Carpenters, and Bobby Vinton. Or we'd talk. If he wanted to talk with us or instill some wisdom, my Dad would pull one of us aside with the invitation that was really a directive, "Let's go for a ride," and we'd slip out together. Many a talk of life, boys, problems, or praise happened driving along with my Dad. He still does that now (but no longer drives Buicks).
I sat in the front seat at some point, certainly younger than we let our kids, and my Mom used to shoot her arm out across me when she was stopping short or someone cut her off. She knew it wouldn't do anything to really save me, but it was her automatic mother-reaction. In her car, she'd tote us around and deliver Meals on Wheels.
My Dad always upgraded to the latest model car with the newest gadgets. He had an early model "car phone" installed in one car, it was like the one in the movie Sixteen Candles that was wide and thick and awkward, but it was SO COOL!
Driving on longer trips, my parents would sometimes find an oldies station and would shout out the names of the songs and dig into their memories for the names of the singer or band. I laugh at that so often as Nick and I now blare songs from our youth and subject the kids to shouted choruses and name that tune. At least our songs aren't "oldies." They're not, right?
Growing up, our cars, much like a kitchen in a home, were central to family life. Functional transportation, yes, but really, community on wheels.

Nothing is funnier than finding out that your car has been booted! I get a serious case of the LOLs every time that happens to me. So when this prankster tries to boot innocent people in England, you can just imagine the rip-roaring laugh fest that results!
Well, maybe it's not that funny. But it is somewhat humorous to watch prankster "Callux" from the Fast, Furious & Funny channel pose as a traffic warden and go around clamping people's vehicles needlessly. The highlight is when he clamps an old woman's wheelchair at a bus stop.
Somewhat surprisingly, he doesn't get his ass kicked. One guy even buys him lunch to get the boot off. Way to stay mellow, England.

After being a little sceptical about our corporate day out to Thorpe Park I was pleasantly surprised by it being totally epic.
Stopped Raining
Finally it was sunny enough to go walking on Saturday. So I went adventuring in previously unexplored territory near Princes Risborough. Tried unsuccessfully to get a tan, instead I ended up with lots of nettle stings :-(. Here's some generic pleasant countryside: Also, a cute little church:
Xcowsay on Raspberry Pi
Xcowsay fans rejoice! Xcowsay is now officially supported on the Raspberry Pi! In other news I've started updating xcowsay to use Gtk3 and Cario. Expect version 1.4 later in the year!
Mysterious Component
I thought managing over two years without washing machine malfunction was too good to be true. And lo it was. This time a mysterious banging noise was caused by these as yet unidentified components: Foolishly I forgot to ask the engineer what the problem was so washing machine lore has not grown. I'm pretty sure […]
Olympic Park
For reasons vaguely connected with my day job I found myself at a soiree at a certain marketing suite on the Olympic Park last Thursday. The less said about the event itself the better but I did manage to get a look at the nearly finished venues: Photo sucks as I only had my phone […]

2011 Preview: 11 New Events Launching This Year
As part of our sneak peek at what's new and innovative this year, we're taking a look at events being launched in our nine markets this year. From trade shows to sporting events, here's a snippet of what planners from coast to coast are working on in 2011.
1. World Police & Fire Games in New York
Billed as the second largest amateur sporting event in the world, the World Police & Fire Games will hit New York this year, bringing more than 18,000 firefighters and police officers from about 70 countries to compete in an Olympic-style competition. Produced by the 2011 World Police & Fire Games and Memorial—a nonprofit comprised of active and retired and retired policemen and firemen—the event will take place August 26 through September 5, with the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center serving as the indoor hub and Randall's Island as the main outdoor site, and will include a candlelit vigil to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
2. IMEX America in Las Vegas
From the organizers of IMEX in Frankfurt comes the first IMEX America show for incentive travel, meetings, and events. In partnership with Las Vegas's industry associations, the show will be held at the Venetian and Palazzo from October 11 through 13.
3. Chicago Symphony Orchestra's "Remix 1: Fusion" event in Chicago
In 2011, the institution's women's board will launch a new fund-raiser aimed at drawing younger guests. Dubbed "Remix 1: Fusion," the event will take place at Architectural Artifacts on February 11. Entertainment will include a DJ set from the symphony's composer in residence Mason Bates—who has a passion for electronic music—and DJ Derrick Carter.
4. Design Center of the Americas "Film & Design: The Golden Age of Hollywood" in Miami
The 800,000-square-foot Design Center of the Americas is launching DesignHouse, its official designer showcase, on view from January 19 through July 15 with a Hollywood theme. Nearly 20 participating design firms have each chosen a film from the 1920s through the '60s—such as Citizen Kane and La Dolce Vita—as a source of inspiration for installations reminiscent of that era. A committee led by co-chairs Clo and Charles S. Cohen will host a V.I.P. preview and gala for 750 on January 18 at the Design Center to celebrate the debut of the showcase; Tara Ink is handling PR. Tickets are $100, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local cultural institutions. Additional programming and events will be presented throughout the run of the show, including screenings, lectures, luncheons, and private tours.
5. Artist Project in New York
Chicago-based Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., will debut Artist Project New York at next year's Architectural Digest Home Design Show. The new art fair will host a selection of contemporary fine art from emerging and established talent at Pier 92 from March 17 to 20.
6. Strike Out Cancer in Toronto
In May, Solutions With Impact will produce the inaugural Strike Out Cancer fund-raiser to benefit Mount Sinai Hospital. The three-day event will bring together professional athletes, celebrities, and baseball enthusiasts as 30 teams of 12 participate in a round-robin tournament. Attendees will select celebrity players at a draft party on May 14 with the tournament set for the following day. The event wraps with a gala dinner—including a trophy presentation and a performance by the band Chicago—at Muzik on May 17. Teams must raise $25,000 to participate.
7. Bella Collina Country Club's "Ralph Lauren-esque" in Orlando
Leah Shepherd, vice president of event marketing for Thompson Wesley Wolfe, is creating a lawn party for select customers of Massey Cadillac. The March 5 event will showcase the 2011 line of cars and the luxury real estate of Bella Collina. Promotional partners Saks Fifth Avenue, the Waldorf-Astoria Orlando, and a boating company (to be named later) will split the cost of the event and share databases, with the hope of generating new customers for all companies involved.
8. Le Book's Connection event in Los Angeles
Le Book, which hosts shows that bring together creative decision-makers from brands, advertising agencies, and media, is bringing its Connections event to L.A. for the first time. What is planned as the first annual local event (London, Paris, and New York already host other versions) will take over the Hangar at Milk Studios on January 20.
9. Youth Design's Winter Warm Up in Boston
On February 1 Youth Design founder Denise Korn will host the organization's first-ever fund-raiser (or, in her words, its "coming out party"). Launched eight years ago with A.I.G.A. as a nonprofit fiscal agent, Youth Design pairs urban high school kids with paid summer jobs in the design community, and recently became a nonprofit entity, meaning the group can now undertake its own fund-raising initiatives. A V.I.P. event for 150 guests will kick off at the Liberty Hotel at 6 p.m. ($125 per ticket), followed by a free and open-to-the-public after-party sponsored by A.I.G.A. Boston at 8:30 p.m.
10. Opera America Conference's Host Company Reception in Boston
After recent stops in Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami, this year the five-day conference is headed to Boston in early May. To celebrate the occasion, the Boston Lyric Opera and Opera Boston are throwing a cocktail party on May 8. Lyric Opera special event manager Sarafina Scapicchio is overseeing the event, which is meant to welcome the conference attendees to Boston and introduce the companies to a national opera audience. The party will welcome some 500 guests amidst New England-themed decor. The venue has yet to be announced.
11. Robert De Niro Sr. Prize in New York
The estate of actor Robert De Niro announced the creation of the Robert De Niro Sr. Prize, which will honor an outstanding mid-career American artist with an annual award of $25,000 for achievements in painting. Funded by Robert De Niro, the prize will be administered by the Tribeca Film Institute and doled out at a group exhibition sometime this year.

Which TV show from the 50s or 60s is shown here?
When Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were expecting their second child, the pregnancy was written into their show, "I Love Lucy." Since the TV station would not allow the word "pregnancy" to be said on air, "expecting" was used. Desi Arnaz's character, Ricky Ricardo, would hilariously pronounce this as "spectin'."

BEIJING (AP) — Liu Xia, under house arrest in China's capital since her imprisoned husband Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize, made a rare appearance Tuesday at a trial, yelling out a car window: "I'm not free."
Liu was allowed to leave the Beijing apartment where she has been held for two-and-a-half years to attend the trial of her brother on fraud charges that his lawyers said are trumped up to punish the family. Taken by car to the court in Beijing's suburbs, she sat through the morning-long proceedings, and when she came out accompanied by her lawyer, she shouted from an open window at diplomats and reporters.
"I'm not free. When they tell you I'm free, tell them I'm not," she said.
Her trip to the Huairou People's Court is one of the few instances when Liu has broken the security cordon that has surrounded her. A poet and activist in her own right, Liu became an exponent for democracy and freedom of expression after her husband was jailed in late 2008 for authoring and disseminating a program for political reform called Charter '08.
Liu Xiaobo was later sentenced to 11 years in prison, his fourth prison term in 20 years of political activism. Since he was awarded the Nobel in 2010, authorities have tried to turn Liu Xia into a non-entity to prevent her from becoming a rallying point for Chinese seeking democratic change. She has been allowed out of her apartment once a week to buy food and see her parents and once a month to visit her husband in prison.
Authorities in China routinely put pressure on family members of political activists and government critics to cow them into falling in line.
On her way to the court Tuesday morning, Liu Xia told Hong Kong reporters that the case against her brother was aimed at her.
"They want to break one leg and then break another. But I am demanding to stand up straight and not be afraid," said Liu. She added later: "My heart feels weary because my younger brother is very important to me. Though I am his older sister, he has been taking care of me for so many years."
The charges against the brother, Liu Hui, relate to a real estate deal in which prosecutors said Liu and a partner pocketed 3 million yuan ($500,000) that was claimed by another party to the transaction.
His attorneys said the funds have been returned and the dispute does not rise to the level of crime. Investigators previously looked into the dispute last year and did not pursue charges, reviving them only in February. In the weeks before that, outsiders — a group of Associated Press reporters and separately five political activists — twice managed to slip past the police and visit Liu Xia in her apartment, embarrassing the security forces.
Being able to leave the apartment for her brother's trial, Liu said, was welcome change from house arrest. "I hope that from today on every day can be like this," she said.

Open space rangers closed Eben G. Fine Park in western Boulder on Thursday after a bear, believed to have been rummaging through neighborhood trash cans, climbed up a cottonwood tree.
At 9 p.m., the bear was still in the tree, and the park was still closed.
Officials said Thursday they did not plan to tranquilize the bear and were hoping it would come down on its own by nightfall and make its way back into the foothills.
The park was closed off with emergency tape to keep the public out.
"This is a matter of public safety," said Kris Middledorf, Colorado Parks and Wildlife district wildlife manager. "It's important for the bear to get out of here without having to go by the playground."
Middledorf said rangers found evidence that the black bear had gotten into trash cans that had been left out before 5 a.m. Thursday in the neighborhood surrounding the park.
"This is a high-volume trash issue," he said.
The bear, which had not been tagged, was first spotted about 30 to 40 feet off the ground in a tree at the eastern end of the park, at the 200 block of Arapahoe Avenue. The animal remained in the tree, though in a lower bough, later Thursday.
Parks and Wildlife volunteers remained in the area to "babysit," or provide crowd control and answer questions, until the sun went down Thursday.
A portion of the emergency tape that cordoned off the park had been torn down where the concrete trail that passes through the park meets up with Arapaho Avenue on Thursday night. A skateboarder made his way through the park around 9 p.m., seemingly unaware that he'd passed within 50 feet of the tree with the bear still in it.
Earlier this year, a bear that had climbed a tree near the University of Colorado's Williams Village dorms became a worldwide Internet sensation after CU student Andy Duann photographed the tranquilized animal as it was falling to the ground.
But the so-called "falling bear" was killed a week later when it returned to Boulder and was struck by a car while trying to cross U.S. 36.
