I have eaten too many Girl Scout cookies.
The alignment with the end of my training and the delivery of Girl Scout cookies couldn't have been any more on point. Luckily I have someone to share them with me and that same someone is trying to run a half marathon, too!
Hmmm. Remember last week when I said I probably wasn't paying enough attention to my nutrition? Well it got worse with the Girl Scout cookies but I think deciding not to run outside in the freezing cold helps keep me healthy (and maybe a little stir crazy) as well.
Ever since starting to run outside a few weeks ago I have enjoyed it much more than running circles on the indoor track or running in place on a treadmill. You could say I was getting spoiled with the "ok" weather that was good enough to run outside in. Well, on Sunday, it was about 30 degrees and the wind was going at a 16 MPH clip. No thanks.
Slight problem, however, we had to do our long run on Sunday. Eleven miles. Eleven miles on the indoor track while watching high school girls play some AAU basketball. It could have been worse in any number of ways: an empty field house with nothing to look at, a treadmill, or not doing it at all.
I realized, also, that this running is testing my patience (or lack thereof). I have always been one who will try to get things done in the fastest, most efficient way possible. I don't like wasting time and I'm not a procrastinator. With running that long, there is really no fast way to do it. So I have been learning to just get it done.
Someone asked me on Monday (after the 11 miles), "What were your thoughts when you started on that first lap?" That's a funny question because, seriously, what WAS I thinking? I guess I was just thinking, "Wow, when I finally stop running I will have run for two hours."
It's kind of something cool for me to try to apply to my life. Maybe once I put my mind to something (like a career I hope) I will just have to know that at the end of my journey I will have reached my goal, if I just keep going. At the beginning of anything sometimes everyone wonders just HOW they are going to finish it but this running thing has given me the belief that if you just keep going it WILL get done. It just will.
Thoughts of the week:
Running 77 laps on an indoor track isn't ideal but it's doable.
Maybe next time I train for a half marathon I'll check the schedule of Girl Scout cookie deliveries.
After finishing running eleven miles you probably won't be able to walk normally. But with some water, nutrients, stretching, and about two hours the walking process will come back to you.
I've always worn cutoffs while working out but chaffing can be a big problem if a workout lasts longer than an hour, especially with the same movements so I have switched to t-shirts. A fellow runner has also suggested "Body Glide" to me but I haven't had enough of a problem with it to invest the eight dollars in it.

SVN::Hooks::UpdateConfFile - Maintain the repository configuration versioned.
version 1.23
This SVN::Hooks plugin allows you to maintain the repository configuration files under version control.
The repository configuration is usually kept in the directory
conf under the directory where the repository was created.
In a brand new repository you see there the files
It's too bad that these important files are usually kept out of any version control system.
This plugin tries to solve this problem allowing you to keep these files versioned under the same repository where they are used.
It's active in the
pre-commit and the
post-commit hooks.
It's configured by the following directive.
This directive makes that after a successful commit in which the file FROM, under version control, have been added or modified, its newest version is copied to TO.
FROM can be a string or a qr/Regexp/ specifying the file path relative to the repository's root (e.g. "trunk/src/version.c" or "qr:^conf/(\w+).conf$:").
TO is a path relative to the
/repo/conf directory in the server.
It can be an explicit file name or a directory,
in which case the basename of FROM is used as the name of the destination file.
If FROM is a qr/Regexp/, TO is evaluated as a string in order to allow for the interpolation of capture buffers from the regular expression. This is useful to map the copy operation to a diferent directory structure. For example, this configuration "qr:^conf/(\w+).conf$: => '$1.conf'" updates any .conf file in the repository conf directory.
The optional @ARGS must be a sequence of pairs like these:
A validator is a function or a command (specified by an array of strings that will be passed to the shell) that will check the contents of FROM in the pre-commit hook to see if it's valid. If there is no validator, the contents are considered valid.
The function receives three arguments:
The command is called with three arguments:
A generator is a function or a command (specified by an array of strings that will be passed to the shell) that will transform the contents of FROM in the post-commit hook before copying it to TO. If there is no generator, the contents are copied as is.
The function receives the same three arguments as the validator's function above.
The command is called with the same three arguments as the validator's command above.
An actuator is a function or a command (specified by an array of strings that will be passed to the shell) that will be invoked after a successful commit of FROM in the post-commit hook.
The function receives the same three arguments as the validator's function above.
The command is called with the same three arguments as the validator's command above.
By default,
after each successful commit the TO file is overwriten by the new contents of FROM.
With this option,
the last NUMBER versions of TO are kept on disk with numeric suffixes ranging from
.0 to
This can be useful,
for instance,
in case you manage to commit a wrong authz file that denies any subsequent commit.
By default, if FROM is deleted in the commit, nothing happens to TO. If you want to have the file TO removed from the repository when FROM is deleted, set this option to a true value such as '1'.
UPDATE_CONF_FILE( 'conf/authz' => 'authz', validator => ['/usr/local/bin/svnauthcheck'], generator => ['/usr/local/bin/authz-expand-includes'], actuator => ['/usr/local/bin/notify-auth-change'], rotate => 2, ); UPDATE_CONF_FILE( 'conf/svn-hooks.conf' => 'svn-hooks.conf', validator => [qw(/usr/bin/perl -c)], actuator => sub { my ($contents, $file) = @_; die "Can't use Gustavo here." if $contents =~ /gustavo/; }, rotate => 2, ); UPDATE_CONF_FILE( qr:/file(\n+)$:' => 'subdir/$1/file', rotate => 2, remove => 1, );

Il turco in Italia
Gioachino Rossini
Felice Romani
Première on Saturday, July 21, 2007 in the Prinzregententheater
In the opera "Il turco in Italia", the so-called Turquoiserie is just window dressing and has very little to do with the dramatic action. Is there still some Near Eastern flair in your production?
Only in the character of the Turk and perhaps his former favorite Zaida, at least this is suggested in the libretto. I go one step farther by visually injecting a little more Near East than was originally intended by the authors when the Turk puts in his appearance, because I think it's important for us to sense Fiorilla's longing for something new and unknown. It has to do with the yearned-for encounter with a Turk, who comes floating in as if out of a dream, a kind of Near Eastern fairy tale. Another thing is interesting: the play begins with a Gypsy scene, which marks a borderline area. People think of Gypsies as part of our Central European world, but their lifestyle also connects them with the Middle East.
Don Geronio seeks out a Gypsy fortune-teller to help him solve his marital problems...
This very scene marks an opening. Although at the end of the story, we come to the realization that in the final analysis everyone ought to remain in his or her own familiar home territory. The drama begins programmatically with a chorus: "Nostra patria è il mondo intero" ("Our homeland is the whole world"). And it is very nice that an expansion of horizons takes place for all the participants, which then leads on to a new limitation on another level.
Were you able during your work to identify with the poet Prosdocimo?
Initially, as stage director, one can identify with this character very well, because the questions the poet raises for his planned libretto are similar to the ones faced by a stage director who has to work out a concept for an opera. You ask yourself, where can I find the main strands of my staging, what characters interest me, what is important? In the course of a closer involvement I noticed that, in the final analysis, the poet seems rather unimaginative. He keeps evoking the laws the old dramatists enacted, he juggles with these academic rules, between alleged audience taste and the things happening in his immediate surroundings. But he is never willing to open himself to unforeseen developments, which might bring him to new ideas. On the contrary, he is quite happy when the things he observes around him gibe with what's already in his libretto, so that the audience will recognize what it sees, and he won't be placing any unreasonable demands on anybody. He almost slavishly subjugates himself to all of this, in hopes of getting the next commission for a libretto. He claims he is looking for something new, but in fact he is in constant fear of anything unfamiliar.
Does he then influence the action, or does he remain a consumer of the actual events?
His intervention does not take place until the last third of the play, at the place where Selim's attempts to lure Fiorilla away from Italy keep breaking down, and the participants in the real situation can't come up with anything that might move their lives forward. Then he contrives an intrigue to make sure everything remains as it was. He doesn't animate the participants to enter into an existential chaos but rather to indulge in a bit of play acting that he himself enjoys and which doesn't offend bourgeois tastes. At this moment, where the people see no way out, and where perhaps there is a danger of Fiorilla actually running away, shooting herself or doing something else, he covers his bets and creates an extorion story to remind Fiorilla what it means to have the floor of material security suddenly pulled out from underneath her feet. The poet is profoundly frightened of being unemployed and no longer loved by the general public, and he scurrilously transfers this anxiety to Fiorilla.
With her conduct, Fiorilla risks losing the security of her material existence?
This shows how clever and detailed this libretto is, because it isn't until the end of the drama that we find out that Fiorilla comes from a lower social stratum, and that her marriage with Don Geronio has landed her among the upper crust, where she plays her role in Neapolitan society with a sizable portion of pride and vanity. Divorce would be pure horror for her; as the guilty party, she would receive no alimony and would probably have to go back to living with her parents in a fisherman's hut. Zaida, Selim's former innamorata, experiences something similar, being rescued at the last minute just as she is sentenced to death. She has no alternative but to join the Gypsies. The two women are related to one another in their pride. Zaida behaves like a class conscious Near Eastern princess. She absolutely cannot accept being insulted by a guttersnipe like Fiorilla, and regards herself as the favorite of an Ottoman ruler.
Is Fiorilla your favorite character?
I think she is a mysterious woman, very much driven by her moods, so that we might suspect that a high level of innocence is concealed within her. But she goes about things very calculatedly, in some moments even rather maliciously. Fiorilla plays off the men around her against one another. Not just her husband and her paramour Selim, but also her admirer, Don Narciso. I still think this all happens because of her moodiness; she is, in the truest sense of the word, a cappriciosa. With this kind of behavior she even runs the risk of losing the sympathy she enjoys with us, the audience.
In a duet, Fiorilla accuses Don Geronio of being unjust, as everyone knows that she loves him. And Rossini seems to believe her.
I believe her, too. I show that at an early moment in the production. Fiorilla has just been taken by surprise during her rendez-vous with the Turk. Her husband walks in on her, and she simply turns the situation around by making Don Geronio kiss Selim's garment. This way she forces him down on his knees. Musically, this moment leads into a grand, slow ensemble, in which I hear the say Fiorilla also pauses to reflect. This gives us a chance to show that she has similar feelings in this situation to Norina's after she has slapped Don Pasquale in the face.
The first act is dominated by the attraction of the unfamiliar. In the second, those two worlds become embroiled in an irreconcilable conflict. How do you handle this?
The first act is dominated by the first collision, in which people open themselves up and reveal an interest in one another. Even if the parties bump up against each other, they initially try to comprehend what is going on in the mind of the other. And then the second act begins with a conversation between the two men, who suddenly find themselves sitting there as if in the Cold War, unable to negotiate with one another. Accordingly the big duet between Fiorilla and Selim, completely unlike their scene in the first act, is determined by the maxim of "this far but no further". And the tension is no longer erotic but rather fundamental. Because they cannot endure this, Selim and Fiorilla escape this time into a melancholic, no longer so heated embrace. Here, too, even the music takes on a somewhat cute and conventional character. It is typical Rossinian wit that at this moment where the couples sink into each other's arms, the music keeps moving toward the dangerous borderline to monotonous prettiness. Three such situations come about in this opera: the reuniting of Zaida and Selim in the first act finale, the embrace of Selim and Fiorilla after their dispute and the reconciliation of the husband and wife Geronio and Fiorilla at the end of the drama.
Do Fiorilla and Selim form the focal point of the story?
Over and over again, the piece concentrates on the encounters and altercations of these two. They keep coming at one another from different directions like a dog and a cat trying to see if there is some way they might play together. Actually these are always the explosive and thrilling moments that release a great deal of energy, but they also tell us of an almost bourgeois self-satisfaction.
The erotic revelations do play a significant role in this opera?
Yes. And they always take place without the poet. The striking thing is that the erotic encounters always go right past him. As if he had a razor-sharp feelfor it. He seems not to perceive the way in which the erotic element is a driving force in real life. He wants to have a "tratto del vero", to recognize reality, but he keeps missing out on it time and again. As if he were a bit prudish.
You once said that "Turco" is a favorite opera for stage directors.
That probably comes from the fact that most stage directors initially develop this great affinity to the poet, as I did, and then later joyfully cast it aside. Not until you get into rehearsals can you really get a feeling for the delicate situation comedy there is in this piece. There is, for example, that moment when the poet conquers his writer's block and believes he has finally found the ultimate formula, which is why he discusses his plans openly and publicly, paying no attention to the presence of Don Geronio and Don Narciso. After all, we've been taking it for granted that the husband has no idea that Narciso is Fiorilla's lover. But the poet simply blurts out the truth. A fantastic scene, and then these two characters, the betrayed husband and the lover as well... It is very funny to see how Narciso has to justify himself to Geronio. He is forced to say that what they have just heard has nothing to do with the truth, but is rather a figment of the crazy poet's imagination. And so the poet involuntarily sets these two characters in motion. We stage directors love this piece perhaps especially because Prosdocimo has the same experiences with these characters that we have in rehearsal with the performers when what starts out as a theoretical story begins taking on flesh and blood. You have to keep asking yourself – and this especially has to do with my favorite character, Fiorilla – when are the feelings genuine, and when are they pure calculation? And first and foremost: when does hypocrisy become routine, anchored in the fundamental character of an individual? This takes us to the question of the actor and the theatrical process: in what little cells do we human beings play-act with one another without calling it theatre? In rehearsals, this reminds me of the work with the comedians in Richard Strauss's Ariadne. When dealing with Zerbinetta and Harlekin, we're never really certain: are they just playing hackneyed roles, hallowed over the centuries, with one another, or are these two people really involved in a genuine conflict? It's a similar case with Fiorilla and her husband, in the course of whose marriage certain behavior patterns have developed until they simply orient themselves around some stale routine or other. And suddenly, with the addition of this "Turkish" element, the routines just don't work the way they used to.
What function does the set have?
One might say we are striving to poeticize the playing space. We begin with a scene that appears quasi-realistic, and only three minutes after the curtain has opened, we experience the first break with this approach: a stranger, namely the poet, disturbs this realistic illusion and takes advantage of this space to open up a new poetic dimension. And the space, which initially doesn't look like a box of theatrical magic tricks ultimately reveals itself to be just that. It is in the way we use this space before us that the disentanglement of truth and poetry takes place, defined as wish-truth, and here two levels come together, inspiring one another until we can no longer differentiate between what is the wish-image and what is reality.
So the masked ball is a play within a play?
The masked ball is the extreme form of a disguise game, an attempt to slip into a new skin, inspired by the appearance of the Turk. And it is curious that the Turk does not become the wish-projection of the women, but rather that the men suddenly take him as an role model.
Because of the masquerade, Don Geronio then sees his problem doubled: two Fiorillas and two Selims.
In what he goes through, Geronio actually approaches the border to tragedy. I find that the exciting thing about this character, the fact that it keeps rising above the usual cliché of the cheated, moronic husband, the "horned husband" the whole town gossips about. He rather tries to fight his way out desperately, and suddenly he again senses strengths within himself in which he had long since stopped believing. And that's what's so beautiful about him.

It's all right, he tells himself, she'll be all right, and Tony told him it was just the arm, and it's all that keeps him going for the next thirty-four hours. He's on a mission in Astana and he used to think it was a beautiful city, but now it just reminds him far too much of Budapest.
When he gets home, he goes straight to the hospital wing. He knows there should be a debrief, he should drop off his gear, hell, he should shower, but when he heads for his quarters, he somehow ends up taking a left when he meant (or maybe he didn't mean) to take a right, and then he's down in medical and it's the first time he's ever been there voluntarily.
(Except it isn't voluntary, not at all; if he'd been there, if he'd had Nat's back like he was supposed to, like he swore they always would, then he wouldn't be here at all and Natasha would be down in the rec room with the other Avengers and he'd be watching, watching her laugh, and she can never know how much he loves watching her laugh.)

"This card came out so sweet. I loved the fonts and paper quality was great. The best card I've made so far on Shutterfly sites. I have to say I like Tiny Prints the best (vs Shutterfly)! Delivery was fast. I didn't even put a rush on it. I did ask for a designer review which is free. Thanks, Tiny Prints!"
"I used this photo as an addition to my daughter's fourth birthday invitations. I do not send out too many holiday cards, so I wanted to send out something to just kind of say "Hi! We're doing well and are thinking of all of you" with her invitations. The template was very easy to use and fit well with the photographs I had taken of my daughter. Although it looks to be used primarily for birth announcements, I found the text very easy to edit and manipulate into whatever I specifically wanted it to be. Unlike other templates, I truly believe the possibilities are endless with this one! All text that is included on card is editable, therefore you can make it fit with any occasion you need :)"
"We had these printed for my sons birth. They came out amazing and we got so many compliments on them! We were very impressed with the quality and timeliness of shipping!"
"Making this card was so easy. I didn't even need to alter the photos I had, they came out perfectly printed. The process was straightforward and quality is gorgeous! So happy with how these turned out compared to others I've seen from various people!"
"I already knew I had a beautiful photo to use, so I was just hoping that the quality of the print would be just as good...and it was!! I was extremely happy with the quality of the print, the thickness of the card and the size of the card. I was also grateful for the tip on using a regular size envelope to save on postage. Overall I am extremely happy with my prints."

amg review
Chevelle have always been an interesting product of the post-grunge era. Imagine if Tool had a clean-cut younger brother who, while bearing a strong family resemblance, went off and played ball for a state college instead of going off to art school before eventually getting lost at Burning Man. What's made Chevelle such a surprise is that, rather than wither in the shadows of an influence that was also one of their contemporaries, they've managed to take their sound in their own direction and fully refine it on their sixth studio album, Hats Off to the Bull. Heavy and dramatic, the album is packed full of tightly coiled, muscular riffs, giving the album a controlled feeling more like a slow burn than an explosive, cathartic release. Chevelle always seem to be in control of the songs, which makes the album feel intense in a way that has an austere, stiff-upper-lip quality. This makes the big releases of pressure, like the title track "Hats Off to the Bull," feel more earned than if Chevelle had just jammed every song full of breakdowns. All in all, Hats Off to the Bull is a finely crafted album from a band that has really grown into its own over the years, and definitely serves as a reminder that these guys are one of the best hard rock bands out there right now. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi

"I used this card to thank my dog's vets, groomers, family and friends for being in his life. I wrote a special thank you message in the text area. I appreciated the multiple opportunities to edit the card and for the designer editing. I selected blue and rounded colors because they seemed to complement the pictures well. Everyone who received the card loved it! One vet even sent me a return card saying he had contributed to a dog-care organization in my dog's name!"
"The memorial card was easy to edit and adapt to our personal situation and was of great quality. Even though I ordered it near the holidays it was super fast and expedient and the service absolutely reliable, in contrast to many other things I ordered around the holidays. I will recommend tinyprints to friends and I will most definitely be using it again."
"When my father-in-law passed I was given the task of getting the memorial cards for the funeral. I immediately went to Costco's photo center and was redirected to Tiny Prints. All I can say is at a time of sorrow, creating this memorial card brought me joy. To be able to created this memory for family and friends was priceless. The quality of this product was absolutely amazing. You will be very satisfied with this product. My family and friends cherished this gift. Also, they offered 2day shipping and the product was there when expected another plus! Thank you for all your help."
"Was very pleased with the service and quality of this memorial card that we had made to honor my parents for their Memorial."
"My husband and I ordered these for our son's memorial. They were just beautiful. We wanted something guests could take with them so their could remember our sweet boy. Guests loved them and said they would cherish them for years to come. Our one month old son suddenly passed away and we appreciated being able to have these done so quickly. I liked that we were able to add a picture on the back of the card as well and we also added a sweet note. We included his date of birth as well as the day of his passing. I saw somewhere the phrase "Grew his angel wings" to describe the date of his passing. I thought it was very sweet. (Born March 18, 2013 - Grew his angel wings April 25, 2013) This was a beautiful way to share our precious son with those who didn't get a chance to meet him."

Driver Patch Reduces ATI Graphics Power Consumption
ATI graphics cards have become more and more interesting for Linux developers ever since the manufacture released the sources. The latest drive has released power management functions that have previously been neglected on Linux.
AMD developer Alex Deucher released a patch for the free R500 and R600 graphics chip driver to add support for dynamic graphics processor clocking. The "Dynamic Clocks" extension changes the graphics processors clock speed, although functions for modifying the bus and memory clock speeds are still missing for full dynamic power management support like that provided by ATI's "PowerPlay" solution. PowerPlay has not been completely released. And because clock management is often implemented in the form of BIOS calls, the new code will not benefit some users. Despite this, the patch is regarded as a starting point for making the free ATI driver less power hungry.
The current "xf86-video-ati driver" driver is available in the Git tree on FreeDesktop.org. It is most useful to owners of notebooks with the ATI R500/R600 graphics chipset. The code has no effect on desktop machines.
AMD released the specifications for the ATI R500 and R600 in September last year. The release was followed by documentation for further cards and chips this February.

To the Editor: In his editorial, published in the March 2008 issue of the Journal, Bryon Adinoff, M.D. (1) suggests that among addiction specialists, there is worldwide consensus regarding the beneficial effects of methadone maintenance on improving the morbidity and mortality of opioid-dependent populations. Methadone maintenance decreases rates of HIV, hepatitis C, and heroin overdoses. However, a significant number of opioid-dependent individuals do not respond to methadone. In the United States, efforts to improve the clinical usefulness of opioid agonist maintenance resulted in the Food and Drug Administration's approval of buprenorphine for use in primary care settings. Moreover, Dr. Adinoff's editorial discussed the potential merits of divided daily doses for methadone maintenance. However, there are possible limitations to this approach as well as related public health implications.
From a public health perspective, the most compelling obstacle in employing this strategy relates to an increase in methadone deaths in various regions within the United States (2). The role of methadone diversion in these fatalities is suggested by an expanding methadone black market, fostering its use among opioid-naive populations (2). Unfortunately, existing systems designed to curtail diversion remain in need of urgent improvement. Meanwhile, dividing daily methadone doses in already understaffed methadone clinics could lead to a relaxation of methadone take-home policies. Can we afford to pay the price of worsening diversion in the midst of an epidemic of prescription opioid abuse? Until the magnitude of the diversion problem improves, methadone clinics are unlikely to embrace the splitting of doses, regardless of its clinical utility.
Another aspect of the editorial that has been overlooked is the premise that craving is an essential precursor to drug use. In Dr. Adinoff's words, even the most sophisticated neuroimaging study will have limited clinical value, and only patient endorsement of craving can help dosing strategies. Despite this premise, it is important to acknowledge that the definition, measurements, and clinical value of craving have been the subject of much controversy (3). Nevertheless, craving remains widely employed to estimate dosing requirements in methadone clinics. From a clinical perspective, self-reports of craving appear to be most useful, combined with objective measures of functioning. If methadone-maintained, craving-free individuals are nodding off, robbing banks, and using cocaine and benzodiazepines, then the protective value of methadone as well as its credibility among the public declines, irrespective of research findings.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A small group of Broadway District business owners in Downtown Green Bay are getting vocal about their anti-Wal-mart stance and calling for a change in leadership among the On Broadway, Inc. Board of Directors.
On Broadway is a non-profit firm who manages the business improvement district and promotes its interests.
The outcry stems from On Broadway's ongoing conversations with Wal-mart and the big box retailer recently signing a purchase option for a piece of property in the vacant Larson vegetable canning property.
Wal-mart is expected to propose a downtown grocery store in the coming month.
Fox 11 reports 18 of 22 Broadway businesses owners voted Tuesday night to endorse a vote of "no confidence" for the board. The businesses have grouped together to form the Broadway Business Alliance. The group is among between 130 to 150 businesses in the Broadway District represented by On Broadway.
A call for a change in leadership is targeted at On Broadway's Executive Director Christopher Naumann and Board President Greg Larsen.
Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt and Council President Tom De Wane also chimed in with letters calling for a change in leadership.
"We're very pleased with some of the other districts in the city, but I think the direction they are going and the lack of communication with some of the businesses who've made a big investment, all that is not connecting and I think that all falls back to the executive director and the board president," Schmitt told Fox 11 News.
Naumann responded, "It is concerning to think that people don't think that job is being maintained. This is all process based, nothing has been hidden. Everything has been transparent and the city has been a partner at the table during this whole process."
The Board of Directors for On Broadway will release a statement Thursday.

Cate Blanchett recently won her second Academy Award for her brilliant performance in Blue Jasmine , which means that a younger generation of moviegoers is becoming familiar with her work for the first time. Prior to this, Blanchett has been relatively absent from the film industry, devoting her time instead to the Sydney Theatre Company which she co-directed with her husband for six years. Moreover, most moviegoers recognize Blanchett for her brief appearances as Galadriel in the beloved The Lord of The Rings trilogy, or for her performances in more mainstream films like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and The Aviator (2004), for which she won her first Academy Award as legendary actress Katharine Hepburn. All of this is fine, but Blanchett's greatest performances can be found in lesser-known, independent films that mainstream audiences tend to overlook. Below is a list of 10 of these performances to remind us once again why Blanchett is one of the most captivating screen actresses of our time.

Welcome to Leaving It On the Road, 2.0! Initially designed to chronicle my cross-country bicycle ride with my father last April and May, I decided to give everything a fresh new look for 2014. With the help from Zack Ayers, a fellow JMU Duke and talented web designer, I've come up with a new look for my site that captures the spirit of the ride, while still covering the new goals I've set for the year 2014. I have a lot of ambitions for this year, and you can learn all about them by clicking here!
But let's stop for a second and fill in those who might never have heard of my blog.
Last April, my father and I signed up with 21 other crazy souls with the America By Bicycle Company (A.B.B.). Together, we embarked on a 5-week, 3,457-mile bike ride across the United States. For 33 days, we rode an average of 100+ miles through 14 different states and passed through four different time zones. There was snow, sleet, rain, mountains, deserts, forests, and almost every other type of scenery imaginable. It was a difficult journey, but with the support of my dad, the rest of the A.B.B. team, and the incredible support of the capable A.B.B. staff, we all made it to through to the end in one piece.
With the ride behind me, I began looking to the future with a new outlook on the world and the spirit of human potential. I realized that in order to get the most out of my life, I needed to challenge myself both physically and mentally and continue to pursue a balanced lifestyle. After successfully running my first marathon with my amazing girlfriend/training partner, I decided to continue my journey by completing the P90X home fitness program. I tried it once before and had failed, but this time I intend on seeing the 90 day program through until the end.
Want to catch up on the ride from start to finish? No problem. Just click here, or find "The Ride" section on the menu bar above. Get ready to experience the trip as it's never been seen before.
Interested to see how far I've progressed on the book, or want to send me an email and connect? Maybe you're curious on how to live a more balanced lifestyle or how the P90X program is going. Just click the Fitness and Wellness, Book, or Media sections to get the latest new.
It's all here, so stay awhile and check it out. But above all, make sure to Leave It On the Road.
- R.E. Wagner
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." – Ernest Hemingway

TAMPA — Johnny Isakson may be the nicest and most frustrated U.S. Senator at the Republican National Convention.
The "nice" part is officially documented. Washingtonian magazine, in its biannual ranking of the chamber, awarded Isakson the title in its most recent issue. "The cordial Georgian got more votes than half a dozen runners up, " the magazine declared. The ballots came from congressional staffers.
Isakson is pictured with a halo over his head.
Is it dangerous to be declared a nice guy in Washington?
"I hope not," Isakson said this morning. "I sold houses for 33 years. I never sold a house to somebody that didn't want to buy it, and I never sold one for somebody that didn't want to sell it. you don't convince them of either thing by calling them a son of a [blatherskite], or trying to convince them you're right. What you do is try to let them come to that decision."
Which brings us to that other part. What happens when no one in Washington – or at least, not the people who matter, and not the bulk of Republicans in the U.S. House – will buy what you're selling?
"I'm frustrated," Isakson admitted. For the past month, Isakson and his Senate partner, Saxby Chambliss, have been touring the state, warning of the "fiscal cliff" that hits on Jan. 1, if a lame-duck Congress fails to come to grips with a $16 trillion deficit and a host of George W. Bush-era tax breaks that are set to expire.
"Unlike a lot of times when you have major issues confronting you and you don't know the answer, we know what the answer is. It's sitting there on the shelf. We've had Simpson-Bowles, we've had Paul Ryan's suggestions. We've had everybody's suggestions. There are only so many ways to skin a cat," Isakson said.
"You're going to have to reform taxes. You're going to have to reform entitlements. You're going to have to cut spending. There's going to be some pain. But not nearly as much pain if you keep kicking the issue down the road," Isakson said.
Georgia's junior senator said who wins in November will make a difference. "If [President Barack] Obama wins the election, I think he'll extend all the current tax rates after making a show. Everyone forgets that in 2010, he was opposed to extending the rates. As soon as the election was over, he was the first one leading the band to extend them. I think that'll happen again," Isakson said. "If Romney wins the election, he'll ask for an extension also, but with a deadline for results."
Isakson is happy with the balance of a Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan ticket. Despite, his experience as governor of Massachusetts, and in business, "Mitt's an outsider as far as Washington is concerned. Ryan will give him that legislative policy direction that he so desperately needs," he said. "You've got two people in Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan who are prepared by resume as well as by experience."
My AJC colleague Daniel Malloy, who is younger and thus requires less sleep, was at the large party Tuesday night hosted by Herman Cain and featuring country music star Trace Adkins for several hundred Republican National Convention goers – just a few blocks from the arena in a massive tent dubbed "Liberty Square."
The McDonough businessman and one-time presidential hopeful drew several Georgia delegates – including U.S. Rep. Tom Graves of Ranger – to the festivities, where arrivals were greeted with sandwiches from the Jimmy John's chain. The company's success story has been a favorite anecdote of GOP nominee Mitt Romney in his stump speech, making Jimmy John's a distant cousin to Chik-Fil-A in the realm of politicized fast food.
Adkins brought conservative politics into his routine as well, opening with "More of Us," a tune that takes on people who want to remove the Ten Commandments from courthouses and schools. Still, he did eventually make his way to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," a song devoted to the female posterior.
Cain introduced the evening's entertainment with an instruction to the delegates to unwind after a long day of "delegatin'." Cain, who did not get an RNC speaking slot but hosted a tea party rally Sunday and has been making the media rounds, also offered praise for the night's big speeches.
"Ann Romney defined the likeable side of Mitt Romney," Cain said. "That's all you got to say. I heard things that I've never heard before about Mitt. But she painted a very loving and likeable side of Mitt Romney because you know he's been getting a bad rap."
As for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Cain said he "defined the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats better than anybody that I have ever heard."
Then came the most important instruction from the Hermanator: "Party hard. Party down. Enjoy yourself."
But it is not all sweetness and light in Tampa. Talking Points Memo has this today:
An attendee at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday allegedly threw nuts at a black camerawoman working for CNN and said "This is how we feed animals" before being removed from the convention, a network official confirmed….
The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster…
Then there was the bus ride that my AJC colleague Kyle Wingfield took last night, after Chris Christie's speech. Wingfield sent this note:
One "it" Romney will not want to claim he "built" is the plan for transporting convention-goers back to their hotels.
The scheme involved taking everyone from one central location — the convention hall, to another central location — the parking lot at Raymond James Stadium, then to separate hotel locations. It broke down at every point in the process.
The 5.8-mile trip between the two centralized stockyards took an hour, only about 20 minutes of which were spent moving.
Inexplicably, another hour passed before we were actually allowed to get off the first bus and find our second bus. At 1:55 a.m., three hours after Gov. Chris Christie closed the (by then previous) evening's proceedings at the convention, I arrived at my hotel.
I will add this to bolster Wingfield's report: Last night, I was wandering the convention hall when I ran into an esteemed member of the Georgia General Assembly. I mentioned that I would be leaving the hall early, and had access to a rental car.
"Take me with you," he begged, describing his epic bus trip to the Tampa Bay Times Forum that afternoon. And so I did.
One more tidbit making its way around the Georgia delegation, from the Savannah Morning News:
U.S. Rep. John Barrow has extended tepid support to the man Republicans are portraying as his Siamese twin.
The Augusta lawmaker said on Tuesday through a spokesman he'll vote to re-elect fellow Democrat Barack Obama president.

Throwing Peanuts at the African American camerawoman is typical behavior of a 1950's Republican Party and supporters. His actions as hateful as its was, further illustrates that Peanuts is ALL that one can expect from Today's Republicans.

I want to know who the *attendee* who *allegedly* threw peanuts is. He/she should be identified and sent home. Surely, with all the cell phones around and surely since the victim is a camera woman there is a whole buncha evidence, right? Speaking of—there is evidence of David Chalian's vile smear against republicans. And he is a journalism professor and veteran of several news organizations.

When it comes to where Obama was born, they're willing to accept any shred of "evidence," no matter how irrelevant. But when it comes to racism at the Republican convention, they cry, "where's the video??" You know if there is a video, we'll have Weetamope coming back with some sort of lame nonsense, "those may not be peanuts.. it's impossible to tell from a shaky cellphone video." I believe the phrase is, Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Yet another example of the people that want us to vote for their boondoggle candidates…..NOT
"As Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin delivered her speech at the RNC Tuesday night, three men moved rapidly through the packed crowd on the concourse outside the convention floor, stopping briefly at every concession stand along the way to inspect the menu.
"I just don't understand why there is no beer," one of the men said. "This is the Republican convention! There must be beer."
And the search continued…..
For Beer! And probably ladies of the evening.
More Peanuts to throw.
And upset Johnny and Saxby….ha ha

Of course, liberals are assuming that because the person involved was black and female that the reason for the incident is because the attendee was raaaaacist.
I want to know what led up to it and what sort of a statement the person thought they were making. I don't get it. But I'm a lot more willing to assume it was a stupid joke nobody got than it was an attack on the CNN employee because of her race or gender.

I guess people think those endless stories about UGA and the Varsity are 'nice' rather than the more often cited 'dull'.
Is it frustration, or incompetence?

My wife occasionally writes to our federal legislators about issues of concern to her. She has gotten responses from the offices of Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Rep. Sanford Bishop, but says she has never gotten a reply from Johnny Isakson. Maybe he is a nice guy; it's just that his office staff needs a refresher in constituent relations.

Mike: Yeah, abusing a black person and calling them an "animal," I'm sure there was nothing racist about it.
If you want to know what "led up to it," why don't you look at the racist rhetoric of the Tea Party folks. You will find some great examples posting on the blog.

Clayton county 100% personifies the Democrat party, as the most democrat county in this state..
That being said…new AJC story Clayton County 4 yr old shot in ghettomobile
A police spokesman told the AJC that a mother was driving a minivan with her four children inside when she heard a loud pop, turned around and saw her 4-year-old daughter slumped over.
The gunshot came from a gun inside the van, police said

Forsyth County 100% represents (note: a geographical entity cannot "personify" anything) the Republican party, as the most historically racist county in this state (which is saying something).
That being said, new AJC story about depraved white guy who in his perverse and irresponsible behavior typifies the entire white race.
Gordon Kent Nelson, arrested two years ago for biting two Cumming children, was sentenced to four years' supervised probation Tuesday in Forsyth County State Court. Nelson, 46, pleaded guilty to charges of reckless conduct.
He was arrested in 2010 for biting two local 8-year-old girls on two separate occasions.
As part of his probation, Nelson must perform more than 200 hours of community service, pay $3,165 in fines and complete a program at a facility specializing in treating compulsive sexual disorders.
Your point is as muddled as your screen name.

Jim was approached by "an esteemed member of the Georgia General Assembly. I mentioned that I would be leaving the hall early, and had access to a rental car.
"Take me with you," he begged, describing his epic bus trip to the Tampa Bay Times Forum that afternoon. And so I did."
I'm sure given the tenor of comments on the blog about Mr. Galloways slant on things, that he made only left turns getting the legislator back to his hotel.

Only to find that her sister and family, who just brought home an adopted girl from Haiti, are getting multiple death threats for bringing home a n*****. Poor Christian girl has never met an unfriendly person in Tenn., assumes everyone's a good God-fearing soul like her – til you rub 'em a smidge…

I've read many comments about Mrs. Romney's illnesses. Breast cancer is bad but if detected early and treated, it most often can be controlled. MS is a terrible disease. There are different types of MS and my prayer for her is that her type is 'remitting', meaning there is some recovery after every episode. The worst type MS is 'chronic progressive' where the patient continues to worsen with no remission possible.
We should all be cognizant of the fact that disease is no respecter of wealth or status. Compassion for the ill instead of criticism should be the norm regardless of the person's status in life.

There is a reason they allow the military to retire after 20 years. It is the same reason cops get to retire after 20 years. It's a hard, dangerous, stressful and often thankless job.
Considering how eagerly our politicians put our military in harms way for purely political gain, and how they are often disrespected and even slandered by those same politicians, and prosecuted for merely doing their job under horrendous, unimaginable conditions and ridiculous rules of engagement, I believe our military forces deserve every damn dime we can give them and a lot more.
I'll tell you what is a waste, Alvin. When I see some guy with no arms or legs because some politician couldn't figure out that there is nothing left to be gained in a sh#t hole of a turd world country, but kept him there because the election in November is more important than that soldier's life, that is a waste.
It is a waste and a dispicable, utter shame that we continue to bicker about contraceptives and name calling while our best and bravest are driving around that sh#t hole waiting for their number to come up and it's barely on the media's radar screen. I don't know who to blame most, but there is plenty to go around.

The AgriTalk broadcast is done for today, but the conversation continues. AgriTalk host Mike Adams shares his thoughts and opinions on the news of the week and invites your feedback.
Well here we go again. The Senate and House ag committees have passed their versions of the next farm bill. Sound familiar? While both are significant accomplishments, as we saw last year, this is the easiest part of the farm bill process. While the Senate will probably pass its bill rather quickly, expect a real battle on the House floor. Of course just having that battle is progress over last year. Chairman Lucas and ranking member Peterson face quite a challenge to keep their bill intact as amendments will be coming from all directions. Perhaps the biggest challenge, both on the House floor and in conference committee, will be over cuts in nutrition spending. The Senate ag committee proposes 4 billion in cuts while the House ag committee proposes 20 billion. That's quite a difference. Some want even bigger cuts while others want no cuts at all. For all the debate over dairy reform, crop insurance and target prices, nutrition programs will once again take center stage. Many in agriculture still feel nutrition programs are needed to get a farm bill passed but last year they helped prevent passage. Hopefully this time will be different.

If you haven't kept up with advancements in prosthetics, now's a good time to observe how a new generation of devices can undertake even the most precise tasks.
The fingers on the BeBionic 3 hand configure themselves according to electrical signals in the user's skin. The hand's power grip has been improved to 31.5 pounds.
The prosthetic hand plays Jenga and the keyboard, and comes with Power Grip skills. But can it wield a light saber as in "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Assistive technology firm RSL Steeper has launched its most advance bionic hand to date, the BeBionic 3.
The BeBionic 3 is the most advanced bionic hand in the world. Nigel Ackland, who lost his right hand in an accident, shows off what it can do.
Carpenter Richard van As made his own digits after losing his fingers in an accident. Now he's helping kids by 3D-printing prosthetics and running an Indiegogo campaign.
Researchers have created a prosthetic hand that allows the wearer to feel objects via wires to the nerves in the upper arm.
The new hand should be able to relay signals from a sensor to the man's brain, allowing him to feel what he touches.
A Kickstarter campaign is raising funds to get an ultracheap 3D-printed robotic hand into production.

Caleb Fiske Harris was born in Warwick, R. I., March 9, 1818. He was the son of Stephen Harris, M. D., and Eliza Greene Harris; both his parents were descended from old Rhode Island families. His mother's sister, Mary Kinnicut Greene, was the mother of Senator Henry Bowen Anthony, another of the founders of the Harris Collection. Harris graduated from Brown University in the class of 1834, and was a businessman in New York and Rhode Island until his retirement.He and his wife died together in a canoeing accident in Maine in the summer of 1881.
As a collector, Harris was interested in English literature, particularly plays, works related to slavery and to the Civil War, and American poetry and plays. Roger Stoddard, formerly Curator of the Harris Collection, notes in an article about Harris:
"In March of 1875 there was issued privately from Providence a small pamphet which was without precedent in the annals of American bibliography. It was entitled Index to American Poetry and Plays in the Collection of C. Fiske Harris, and it credited Mr. Harris with 4,129 volumes in a field almost totally unexplored by scholar or collector. Harris's contemporaries in the book world were historians and collectors in the field of American history, and it would be a nother decade before successors with Harris's inclination toward his native literature could appreciate his foresight and achievement."
"To Americanists, Harris's collection of American poetry and plays is most important of all. Its influence still continues to be felt in collecting, bibliography, and scholarship. John Russell Bartlett wrote for The Providence Journal in 1875: 'Mr. Harris, who has always had a taste for English literature, and formed a very good library of the best writers, both English and American, conceived the idea a few years ago to make his collection of American poetry and dramatic literature as complete as possible, and having once made this a specialty, has pursued it with a zeal unsurpassed by any [other] American collector in this department. To form so large a collection would ordinarily be the work of one's life, but Mr. Harris has accomplished his work mainly within the last fifteen years.'"
"The crucial event in Harris's collecting career with the dispersal of the library of Albert Gorton Greene. Before the sale Harris attempted to purchase the American poetry and plays en bloc, but the renown of that department of the library prompted the estate to decline Harris's offer and the auctioneer to catalogue it in a separate section. Contrary to the statements of several biographers, Harris bought neither the entire Greene library nor the American poetry and plays intact. He was simply one of the largest buyers at the sale. Of about 1,850 lots of poetry Harris bought nearly 1,350, or about 75 per cent. At a cost of about $750 Harris added over 1,600 titles to his collection."
"The [great] virtue of Harris's purchases was bulk: quantities of early small-town imprints, ephemera, and minor rarities of the kind that will always go unrecognized. He added hundreds of songsters, many of them lotted up by the dozen, hundred of plays (one lot conatined over 200), and - again in a single lot - over 1,500 slip ballads. The Greene sale allowed Harris to harvest the fruit of nearly half a century of book grubbing, but it left him largely to his own devices to enrich his collection with the important rarities. . . Within a year after the sale Harris set out to do just that."
"By mid-year of 1873 Harris. . . was hard at work on the catalogue of his collection. In March of 1875 the Index was printed, and he sent copies to prominent scholars, collectors, and poets. . . Most of the recipients and reviewers were startled to learn that over 4,000 volumes of poetry, plays, and songs had been written by Americans. . . But few of Harris's contemporaries were competent to see that he had made one of the most significant achievements in American book collecting."
After Harris's death, the collection was sold through "the shop of Sidney S. Rider of Providence, an eccentric bookseller whose ethics were inscrutable to his contemporaries." Senator Henry Bowen Anthony, Harris's cousin, finally agreed to purchase the collection, although numerous titles (many of considerable significance) were no longer present. Anthony, who died in the following year, left the Collection to Brown University Library.
