Lock/Unlock Table
Hi all,
I have a program that if the users presses one button a certain table is opened and a temp table is created. If another button is pressed, a different table is opened and the temp table is dropped and recreated. Below is the code used to create a temp table and make a connection. My problem is that the user presses the button, the temp table is made, a connection is made and all works fine. Then if the user presses the other button, the program gives me an error message that the temnumber table is locked and cannot be dropped while in use. How can I unlock the table to drop it.
Thanks for any and all help
numtempcn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:lotterydatagame.mdb"

Lock That Macro!
Hello all! I have a problem. I have an Excel spreatsheet with a macro that enters the date and time into a cell when a checkbox is checked. The macro uses the "NOW()" function which works fine except for one thing. Each time I open the sheet, the date and time updates to the current. I need the date and time to remain at the values displayed when the checkbox is checked. Is there a way to 'lock' the macro? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks and have a good day!

Excel Macro Within VB Causing File Lock Problem

Unlock Key
Hi All
Is it possible to embed a value into to an unlock key which is created using a keygen. What i want to do is have an option to select a number of days(i.e 30 days) in the keygen and when u create the key it incoporates that value in the key. The reason i want to do this is when the user uses the key to register the app that i have developed then i want my app to check the key for that value and input it into my app , so the user will only be able to use the app for 30 days which i have specified in the unlock key using the keygen, and then when the app reaches the 30 day limit then he would have to apply for another key.
Can this be done.
Im am using a program called active lock.

Unlock Records
i am developing a VB6 application connecting to ORACLE 8.0. database. i have a question, how can i unlock a record without disconnecting?
the problem is like this. i make a connection to the database when the user start the app. when the user open a form, i lock a certain record so others won't be able to change the record by using "SELECT .... FOR UPDATE". so if the user opened more than 1 forms, i would have lock a few records using the same connection. when the user exit a form, i would like to unlock the record that was previously locked by this form without unlocking the other records.
Are there anyway i can do this without disconnecting or issuing a BeginTrans/RollbackTrans? thanks

How To Unlock A Project
I have an old project that I loaded up again today. I forgot that some
components on the form requires license files. As a result, after I open the
project, the project is read only (locked by VB, not by the file system).
Now I have found an older version of license file which is not compatible
with the newer controls. I want to simply remove the newer versions of the
control from the form, and replace them with an older version. However,
since the project is read only, I am unable to do that.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Kindly help me i am under a REALLY DEADLINE ..

Unlock/delete A File
Is there any way to edit/delete a word file that is locked by a VB application? And I don't mean by creating a copy?
The VB application uses these files. The app bombed and now the files are locked.
When trying to edit, I get error: "locked by another user"
When trying to delete, I get error: "There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
1. How do I check who the user is?
2. Is there a work around, that will let me delete/edit the file?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Unlock .LNK-files WITH VB CODE, PLZ (registry)
I am eagerly fighting my schools low authorization on their comps, but I have almost unlocked everything they've locked - but they've done a very terrible thing to mess it up for me now, they've locked the .LNK files.
I've tried to restore the registry .LNK section (and also unlocked the registry) through VB-code, but now I am stuck. I don't know what to do with the .LNK-section, they've really made great job to mess it up for me.
So I am wondering if someone knows how to restore the W2K .LNK-section in the registry, what it should include. I can't edit through the registry directly, they've somehow "crashed" the .LNK stuff.
Could any W2K user please look in their registry please!
Thanks on behalf of my school!

Software Unlock/activation Codes
I sell software products online using a service called Kagi. Currently I physically ship a fully functional CD-ROM that has no copy protection when someone purchases a program.
I would like to create a trial version of my program that could be downloaded from my website, then later activated with an "unlock key" if the key was purchased from Kagi.
Kagi lets you do this in a semi-complicated way by using some unique data from the user (such as their HD serial number like you talked about in a recent post) that is used with a CGI running on their server to produce a unique activation code.
Kagi also does this is a more simple way by using pre-calaculated activation codes. I would simply email them a list of a 1000 codes, and each time the program was purchased they would issue the next one on the list.
What puzzles me is if the pre-calculated activation codes would all be capable of unlocking the program for anyone, on any computer, then why have a list of them. Why not just send them one special "unlock code" that they would issue to everyone.
Could you give me any enlightenment here? Perhaps I'm missing something.
Also, prior their current product activation scheme, why did Microsoft go to the trouble of making unique CD-keys for their programs when anyone's CD-key would work?

David Huckabee, a son of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, was arrested at an Arkansas airport Thursday after a federal X-ray technician detected a loaded Glock pistol in his carry-on luggage.
"I removed the bag and asked Mr. Huckabee if he knew what he had in the bag," Little Rock police officer Arthur Nugent wrote in a report after being summoned to a security checkpoint. "He replied he did now."
Huckabee, 26, later pleaded guilty in Little Rock District Court after being charged with a misdemeanor count of possessing a weapon in a prohibited place.
"It was a silly mistake," Huckabee told reporters as he left the Pulaski County Jail. When asked whether it would affect his father's presidential campaign, Huckabee responded, "It shouldn't."
District Judge Lee Munson gave Huckabee a one-year suspended jail sentence and ordered him into 10 days of community service — which Huckabee can avoid by paying $100. Huckabee will be on probation for a year. Fines and costs totaled $855.
The son of the former Arkansas governor held a concealed weapons permit at the time of the incident but state police are taking steps to revoke it. The elder Huckabee, who said last week that Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho perhaps could have been stopped if a teacher or student had also been armed, also has a concealed weapons permit.
"My wife and I love our son. What he did was irresponsible but not intentional," Mike Huckabee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
Nugent said David Huckabee had a .40-caliber Glock pistol in his black carry-on bag. Eight live rounds were in the gun — none in the chamber — and a nine-round clip was also in the bag. The weapon and ammunition were detained by Little Rock police while David Huckabee's gun permit was seized and given to the Arkansas State Police.
Mike Huckabee said his son grabbed the bag on the way to the airport and didn't realize the gun was inside.
"It's one of those stupid things," Mike Huckabee said. "He knows better."
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney likened Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler in a speech on Thursday to Jewish university students.
Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a myth and said that Israel should be "wiped off the map."
"We are faced with the horrific proposition that those who speak of genocide are developing the capability to carry it out," Romney, referring to the Islamic jihad movement, said in a dinner speech for the business school of Yeshiva University.
The former Massachusetts governor said Iran and its leader are threats to Israel and that Ahmadinejad has "gone beyond the boundary of outrage."
"His purpose is not only to deny the Holocaust; it is to deny Israel," Romney said. "He is doing as another evil man did before him: conditioning minds to acquiesce to the elimination of a nation."

Photo of Huckabee's son. That mugshot, along with the lame excuses made by him and the family about the incident should tell us that maybe Huckabee's toast.
Maybe the Huckster could farm Davey out to Argentina or some such place for the duration to shut him up for a while.
No one really buys this. If you or I got caught with a weapon in our """"carry on"""", we wouldn't just get a simple fine and a slap on the hand, we would be going to jail. Then we would forever be on "No Fly List".
This guy got special privledges unlike you or I because he was the ex-governor's son. Privledge has it's powers.
What sort of activities does he engage in that he needs a gun? How could anyone "pack a bag" and not know there was a gun in it? Huckakbee said his son "grabbed the bag." Who packed it? Doesn't sound like to me he's responsible enough to have a gun permit, let alone a gun.
It's a shame for the son of such a famous person to be arrested for possession of arms. I thought these people should be the example we want our kids to follow…

wikiHow to Get Copies of Old W2 Forms
You may need old W2 copies due to an audit or, more happily, if an accountant tells you that you can get more money from past years' taxes. At any rate, you need to know how to get copies of old W2 forms. It's a pretty easy process. You may need to do a little work to get them, though. You may need to request this information and show proof of income, even if you did not make enough to file that year.
1Check the place where you keep important papers. It's a good idea to save important tax information for five years. However, if you do not have them, all is not lost.Ad
2Call the payroll department of your employer (or former employer as the case may be). They also should be saving important tax information.
3Access the IRS website (www.irs.gov). A quick search for old W2 forms should allow you to order your previous years' W2 forms. You will need to request form 4506-T.
- This service may be free; however, there could be a nominal fee. Pay the fee, if there is one, (the amount may vary from year to year). The IRS hasn't been charging for this service, but requests for older years' transactions may be different.
- Wait patiently. It can take 2 months or longer to process your request.
4Contact the tax preparer you used in previous years. This is pretty easy if an outside source, such as H&R Block, figured your taxes in prior years. They should have your W2s on file.
5Be mindful of pricing structures. There are other sources of old W2 information that charge fees. Ask the two questions below and then compare the information with the same from the IRS before paying anything.
- How long will it take to get the old W2 forms to you?
- What is the charge for this service?
6File an extension form that gives you 3 extra months to file your income taxes if you are working on the current year's taxes. This will give you enough time to patiently wait for the W2 forms to come back to you.
7Find a safe place to save important tax documents so that this does not happen to you again. It's worth a little effort right now to avoid a lot of headaches later on. You should save all W2s, income tax forms and other pertinent tax information for 7 years.Ad
Are you an expert on getting curly hair for men?
If so, share what you know about how to get curly hair (men).
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Follow these steps if your employer refuses to give you another W2 form.
- You may get past W2 forms for years you have not filed your taxes as well as for those needed that were filed.

|Top Ten Digital Photography Tips
|sports photos
|2005-01-12 10:51:36
Response to: sports photos
|Hi. I had the same problem with my son's basketball games. The best I could do with the camera I had was to set the ISO to 400. This helped stop the action, but the pictures got grainy. I've just yesterday got a newer camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3. It has an incredible 12X zoom, which I'm hoping will be good for football games. More important to basketball, though, the camera gives you a choice of shutter-priority, aperture-priority, manual, or fully automatic modes. (It has a "sports" mode, but according to the manual that is for outdoor sports with plenty of light.) Basically, I think you need to learn to use shutter-priority mode (if your camera has it) to choose a fairly high shutter speed (maybe around 1/30) and combine that with an ISO speed of 200-400. If your pictures come out slightly under-exposed, you also have the option of brightening them up a little after you put them on your computer using your favorite photo software. Your camera may have other options that might be helpful to you, or you may have to go shopping for a new one. Good luck.

Before somebody else says something, I should say that 1/30 is actually a fairly slow shutter speed. In better lighting, you'd probably want more like 1/60 or higher. For a really fast-paced outdoor sport, you'd want something even higher. (Also, I'm still playing with these settings myself. I'm no expert.)

For lower light scenarios, 1/30 is very good as it allows more existing light to be recorded whether you are shooting digital or film. Also, with the longer shutter speed it can allow for the flash to be more effective. If your camera has a hot shoe you may want to consider an accessory flash. There are many good quality inexpensive ones made by Vivitar, Minolta and many other manufacturers.

In 1828 an Anglo-Saxon burial was discovered by road workers quarrying gravel and was subsequently excavated to uncover some cremation urns. William Maurice Wright mentions that the urns were excavated in the field Swinhope Walk. See the fields page.
Exactly whereabouts in Swinhope Walk is a mystery. There is gravel in the soil of the south western corner, which is the highest part of the field, indeed the highest point on the west side of the parish, on the ridge which runs north to south along its western edge. However, the profile looking at the north western corner from further down the Click'em lane is suggestive of a tumulus but, equally, may be no more than the natural undulation of the landform. The western end of the field is in close proximity to three old pits, possibly gravel pits.
It seems that after excavation three of the urns were sent to the Society of Scottish Antiquaries. One of them is now on display in the North Lincolnshire Museum, Scunthope (see left), on loan from the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. It dates from the 5th, 6th or early 7th century A.D. The others seem to be lost. We'll give a reward to anyone who can tell us where they are.

Photos from the Miners' Strike
My old friend and comrade John Harris invites us all to visit his exhibition of photos from the miners' strike.
John took the famous photo featured in the flyer below, and the cop on the horse took a swipe at him a moment later:
US revolutionary cartoons revisited
Between the 1930s and 1950s the revolutionary socialist (ie Trotskyist and, later, Shachtmanite) press in the USA made use of the wit and skill of talented cartoonists such as 'Carlo' (Jesse Cohen). In an Era of Wars and Revolutions, a new collection of their work, gives a snapshot history of the times: the rise of the mass industrial union movement in the USA, the great strike wave of 1945-6, the fight against 'Jim Crow' racism, World War Two, the imposition of Stalinism on Eastern Europe, and more.
Sean Matgamna (editor of In an Era of Wars and Revolutions) writes:
That "one picture can be worth a thousand words" is true, but only up to a point. A photograph or a painting cannot properly nail down, explain or explore ideas. A complicated piece of writing has no visual equivalent.
Yet a well-done cartoon is a powerful political weapon. A few bold strokes by an artist can convey an idea more vividly and fix it more firmly in the viewer's mind than would an editorial or an article.
A cartoon is drawn to convey an idea, a point of view, an interpretation of what it depicts, and its meaning. Cartoons by their nature simplify, caricature, exaggerate, lampoon, and play with archetypal images.
A cartoon is highly subjective, yet it draws on commonly recognised symbols. The image, idea, interpretation fuse in the drawing. Drawn to convey an idea of people, things, institutions, classes, states, and of their inter-relationships, a cartoon distills the artist's conception of what is essential in those people, events, entities, institutions, relationships.
The cartoonist is licensed to distort everyday reality so as to bring out a view, a "seeing", analysis, critique, historical perspective of it. Its ciphers, emblems, archetypes vary to allow for the artist's individual slant (like, in this collection, Carlo's characteristic rendition of the top hat-fat archetypical bourgeois laughing at the gullibility or helplessness of workers).
All of a cartoon, all its details and references, are consciously or subconsciously chosen to convey a point of view, a nailed-down perception, a historical perspective. In old socialist cartoons the worker is always bigger and stronger than his enemies. He needs only to be awakened to an awareness of his strength.
It is almost always a "he". The socialists who drew these cartoons were, themselves and their organisations, militant for women's rights, but little of that is in their work.
One of the difficulties with old socialist cartoons for a modern viewer is that the stereotype-capitalist wears a top hat and is stout or very fat. In some early 20th century British labour movement cartoons he is named, simply, "Fat". Fat now, in our health-conscious days, is seen as a characteristic of lumpenised workers and other "lower orders" people.
Much contemporary comedy is a hate-ridden depiction of the poor, the disadvantaged, the excluded, the badly educated, by physical type – fat and slobby. Where most of the old racial and national caricatures have been shamed and chased into the underbrush, no longer tolerable to decent people of average good will, the old social-Darwinian racism against the poor is rampant still, unashamed and not often denounced.
Even so, the old symbols, the fat capitalist and the big powerful worker, are still intelligible. They depict truths of our times as well as of their own. These cartoons still live.
They portray US politics, governments, the class struggle, the labour movement, America's "Jim Crow" racism, Stalinism at its zenith, Roosevelt's New Deal, Harry Truman's "Fair Deal", Senator Joe McCarthy, McCarthyism. They present clean and stark class-struggle socialist politics, counterposed to both capitalism and Stalinism.
A few are from the 1920s, but mainly they cover the quarter century after the victory of Hitler in Germany in 1933. and the definitive consolidation of Stalinism in the USSR.
Across the decades, they still carry the emotional hostility to the master class and solidarity with their victims that they were drawn to convey; the socialists' abhorrence of the Stalinist atrocities that discredited and disgraced the name of socialism (they themselves were often among the targets); the desire, hope and drive for a re-made world — a socialist world. They blaze with anger and hatred against the horrors of America's all-contaminating Jim Crow racism.
These cartoons were of their time, and what their time and earlier times led socialists to expect of the future. They were often mistaken. Government repression during World War Two was less fierce than the severe persecution of socialists and militant trade unionists in World War One and afterwards, led them to expect.
In the later 1940s, like most observers, they saw World War Three looming. In fact, the world settled into a prolonged "balance of terror" after Russia developed an atom bomb in 1949 and the USA and Russia fought a proxy war on Korean soil which ended in stalemate. The economic collapse which the experience of the 1930s led them to expect did not come (though in fact the long capitalist upswing took off only with the Korean war boom of 1950-3). Plutocratic democracy in the USA, during the war and after it, proved far less frail than the Marxists feared it would.
Over many years I have collected photocopies of these cartoons, buried as they were in files of old publications for six, seven or eight decades. I think others will be moved by them too.
What Peadar Kearney wrote fifty years after their time of the Fenians, the left-wing Irish Republicans of the 1860s and 70s, speaks to the socialists of the era covered by this book as well:
"Some fell by the wayside
Some died 'mid the stranger,
And wise men have told us
That their cause was a failure;
But they stood by old Ireland
And never feared danger.
Glory O, glory O,
To the bold Fenian men!"
Bangladeshi artist censored in Tower Hamlets
From the Dockland & East London Advertiser:
Artist 'censored' by Tower Hamlets Council at Bangladeshi exhibition
Above: Saif Osami with some of his work at the Brady Arts Centre
By Adam Barnett, Reporter
A Bangladeshi artist has criticised the Council after he was told some of his work was too controversial for public display
Above: one of the pieces deemed "too controversial" by Tower Hamlets Council
Saif Osmani, 32, who was born in Whitechapel, was invited to show his work at the Brady Arts Centre in Hanbury Street as part of a season of Bangladeshi drama and art.
But when Mr Osmani arrived on November 2 he says he was told by a council arts officer that four of his pieces, which combine the Pakistani and Bangladeshi flags, might anger "hardliners" and would not be shown.
Mr Osmani, who lives in Stratford, said: "I was told that due to the political situation in Bangladesh I was unaware of what this series of paintings could trigger with the 'hardliners'.
"I can't see why these events happening thousands of miles away have started dictating this exhibition here in the UK."
Tower Hamlets Council declined to say who its arts officer meant by "hardliners".
Mr Osmani said the rest of his work was moved to a corner of the room near the toilet and was later hidden by a pull-up banner.
Akhtar Hussain, of art group Avid Art Agency, said: "It is an absolute disgrace that this level of censoring is taking place in the name of political correctness at an event which was supposed to celebrated British and Bangladeshi arts, but instead curtails the content of the art on display."
A spokesman for the council said: "We are clear that there has been no censorship in relation to this exhibition.
"As with any public space the council does have the right to decide what is exhibited and in this case the pictures chosen were fully discussed and agreed between the artist and a member of the council arts team."
The exhibition runs until November 22 at the Brady Arts and Community Centre in Hanbury Street.
Assuming that the article is accurate, this would appear to be an outrageous act of censorship. But what exactly are the political motives that lie behind it? And who are these "hardliners" who might be angered by the paintings? Any information from readers would be most welcome.
Rational, critical thought from QualiaSoup
Ive only just discovered QualiaSoup, an artist and thinker whose YouTube videos present the case for rational, critical thinking and the scientific method. It's excellent stuff, that anyone with religious hang-ups, belief in the "supernatural," tolerance of backward ideas in the interests of "open-mindedness" and indeed quite a few people who consider themselves "Marxists," would do well to watch and ponder. Here's an example:
P.S: It transpires that QualiaSoup has a brother, TheraminTrees (!)
Does Steve Bell think antisemitism is a joke?
Steve Bell's 'If' strip in the Graun has recently been concerning itself with imagery about Murdoch, Netanyahu and a glove puppet, plus references to a so-called "Aunty Semitic" "Trope." Guardian readers who are unaware of the background to this will have been mystified as to the meaning of it all – but then that's not unusual with a Bell cartoon. Regular readers of Shiraz should be aware of what lies behind it: a Bell cartoon back in November was was widely criticised for reproducing the long-standing antisemitic "trope" (ie: "stereotype"; in this case, that of the puppet-master, as widely used in Nazi and contemporary Middle Eastern propaganda). Eventually, the Guardian's reader's editor agreed (to a very limited degree) with the criticism. Bell refused acknowledge even the possibility that his cartoon was ill-judged and seems to have been smarting ever since.
dropped in and sensitivities are talked up .. the very word
'antisemitic' becomes devalued…
".. they throw it around with such abandon. If there really is
antisemitism it's actually getting ignored…"
Hitchcock and 'The Girl': a dark, sad story
"Blonds make the best victims" – A. Hitchcock
First things first: last night's BBC 2/HBO film The Girl was absolutely superb – by far the best new work to be seen on Brit TV over the Christmas season. If you missed it, make sure you catch up via iplayer or whatever, asap.
Briefly, this was the story of Alfred Hitchcock's choice of the previously unknown Tippi Hedren to star in The Birds (his follow-up to Psycho) and his obsession with her, culminating in a campaign of bullying and intimidation when she rejected his blundering advances. Finally, Hitchcock sabotaged her career by refusing to either release her from her contract or to use her in any more films, apart from the rather unpleasant Marnie.
His behaviour, these days, would be considered completely unacceptable and probably place him beyond the pale in the eyes of polite society.*
Once again we are confronted with the old conundrum: to what extent is it possible to separate a great artist from the more unpleasant aspects of his (and, it would seem, it is usually "his" rather than "her") personality? As an admirer of Philip Larkin I have difficulty coming to terms with evidence of his misogyny and racism, just as admirers of Eliot and Pound have (or should have) difficulty with the fascist sympathies of those two, and Picasso enthusiasts ought to be at least concerned by his Stalin-worship (which lasted into the 1950s). As for unacceptable sexual practices, the superb sculptor and designer Eric Gill probably leads the field, though I've no doubt there have been plenty of other major artists with similarly hideous sexual proclivities. Benjamin Britten's interest in adolsescent boys has long been the subject of speculation, though in fairness it should be stated that there has never been any evidence that he engaged in paedophilia.
Anyway, The Girl, based as it was upon Tippi Hedren's own accounts (in interviews) of what happened, pulled no punches and made no effort to excuse or explain-away Hitchcock's behaviour. But, thanks to a masterful performance by Toby Jones, we feel pity as well as disgust. Hitchcock was, by his own description, a fat, ugly walrus of a man who had only ever had sex with his wife (for whom the term "long suffering" scarcely suffices) and, now in his sixties, was impotent anyway. According to Jones' portrayal, he appears to have felt that Hedren simply owed him a tumble for having made her a star.
The question that The Girl poses but doesn't answer, is to what extent Hitchcock's sexual obessions contributed to the dark, ambiguous power of his best work.
As well as Jones' extraordinary portrayal, Sienna Miller gives a strong (in every sense of the word) performance as Tippi Hedren and Imelda Staunton deserves a mention for her profoundly sad Alma Hitchcock.
* On the other hand, the rapist and paedophile Roman Polanski as recently as 2009, could count on the support and sympathy of leading celebs and "intellectuals" throughout the world.
Why is the left quiet about Pussy Riot? Панк-молебен "Богородица, Путина прогони" Pussy Riot в Храме
"It was a sin against God and God is judging it; and all Christians should know this…
"For the Orthodox Church, like for Muslims, of course the authorities and the church are understood as one thing. Our Ideal is the unity of the church and the authorities, and unity of the people and the authorities.
"in this way, we are decidedly different from the west. I think attempts in the west to seperate the spiritual sphere and secular sphere is a historical mistake. Such a division is not characteristic to any civilisation except the west" – Vsevolod Chaplin, Senior Priest, Spokesman of the Russian Orthodox Church and advocate of harsh punishment of Pussy Riot.
Above: The three members of the Pussy Riot band — Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich — rejected charges of hooliganism for performing a "punk prayer" in Moscow's main cathedral against Vladimir Putin's return as president.
A group of brave, smart, peaceful but militant young women confront a thuggish, authoritarian President and a corrupt church hierachy and have already been jailed without trial for five months: what's not to like about Pussy Riot?
Yet the "left" has, on the whole, been strangely reticent about supporting them: why?
A number of possible explanations present themselves:
1/ They are anarcho-feminists and conceptual artists, not leftists.
2/ (Following on from #1): they have no clear demands or programme.
3/ They already have celebrity support from the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Gabriel and Stephen Fry.
4/ Much of the western "left" is actually rather sympathetic to Putin, because he's part of the pro-Assad/Iranian axis that they, more or less openly, support. Many of them also seem to have a built-in predisposition to support dictators and to despise any form of democracy.
5/ Pussy Riot are being done not just for "hooliganism" against the Putin regime, but also for "religious hatred" – a concept that much of the western "left", having discovered the joys of Islamic fundamentalism, now supports (in the sense of agreeing that insulting and/or criticising religion is Bad and should be illegal). The semi-literate SWP blogger Lenny "Seymour" Tombstone, for instance, recently coined the term "theophobia" and meant it as criticism (in his case, of Christopher Hitchens). Pussy Riot are nothing if not "theophobic."
Objections #1 and #2 don't really stand up, given that much the same could be said of the "Occupy" movement that most of the far-left had no hesitation in supporting. #3 has also never been a problem for the "left" before now: the so-called Stop The War Coalition, for instance, is very happy to accept 'celebrity' endorsement.
Which leaves us with #4 and #5: almost certainly the real reasons. And despicable ones at that.
Support Pussy Riot!
Here's what they now face seven years in jail for doing (the "punk prayer"):

The Shard: the ugly facade of capitalism
Above: "ugly, insecure and grotesque"
Marx and Engels gave a materialist explanation of the origin of the aesthetic sense itself. They noted that man's artistic abilities, his capacity for perceiving the world aesthetically, for comprehending its beauty and for creating works of art appeared as a result of the long development of human society and were the product of man's labour. As early as in his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, Marx pointed to the role of labour in the development of man's capacity to perceive and reproduce the beautiful and to form objects also "in accordance with the laws of beauty" (Marx and Engels, Collected Works, Vol. 3, Moscow, 1975, p. 277).
This idea was later developed by Engels in his work Dialectics of Nature, in which he noted that efforts of toil "have given the human hand the high degree of perfection required to conjure into being the pictures of a Raphael, the statues of a Thorwaldsen, the music of a Paganini" (see pp. 128-29 of this book). Thus both Marx and Engels emphasise that man's aesthetic sense is not an inborn, but a socially-acquired quality.
The founders of Marxism extended their dialectical view of the nature of human thought to analysis of artistic creativity. In examining the development of art together with that of the material world and the history of society, they noted that the content and forms of art were not established firmly once and for all, but that they inevitably developed and changed according to definite laws along with the development of the material world and of human society. Each historical period has inherent aesthetic ideals and produces works of art corresponding to its particular character and unrepeatable under other conditions. Comparing, for example, the works of Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and Titian, Marx and Engels emphasised that "Raphael's works of art depended on the flourishing of Rome at that time, which occurred under Florentine influence, while the works of Leonardo depended on the state of things in Florence, and the works of Titian, at a later period, depended on the totally different development of Venice" (p. 177).
The problem with the Shard is that it is ugly, insecure and grotesque.
The 'lets build the tallest building' game is best left to children and the insecure. Dubai is obsessed with having the tallest building because it is not a place which really exists. It is a city literally built on sand, like some wrongheaded parable. It has a great deal to prove. Sydney throws up skyscrapers despite the plentiful space available because Australia is so deeply insecure about its importance. London never needed to. Confident cities build low because they have nothing to prove. And there is no use saying, as Ken Livingstone did on the Today programme this morning, that we have run out of space and need to build up. The building is empty. There is no demand for what it is offering -Ian Dunt
P.S (from JD): I like handsome, well-designed skyscrapers, including some of Piano's previous work.
Sheer genius at the Hayward Gallery
Invisible: Art about the Unseen 1957 – 2012 – review
Hayward Gallery, London
Jonathan Jones writes on art for the Guardian and was on the jury for the 2009 Turner prize
I accidentally scared a gallery technician witless while exploring the Hayward Gallery's exhibition of invisible art. I was standing in a room of thick, velvety darkness. A technician pushed through the black curtains and became aware of someone else in the gloom. Apparently spooked, he asked: "Who's that?"
It was a relief to see someone else scared, because The Ghost of James Lee Byars already had me seriously unnerved. This work of art consists of no more than its six-word title and a darkened room. Yet its atmosphere is palpable. Six words are enough to tell a hell of a ghost story, it turns out.
The American artist James Lee Byars conceived this freak-out in 1969. An enigmatic and morbid storyteller, he imagined his own death, not just in this work but in pieces with the resonant titles This is the Ghost of James Lee Byars Calling, and The Perfect Death of James Lee Byars.
Eventually, in reality, he died in Cairo in 1997. Judging by the terror it can inflict on Hayward contractors, I would guess the invisible image of Byars is creating quite a folklore behind the scenes.
Or perhaps they are dreading the critics. What, eight quid for a gallery full of invisible paintings? This exhibition courts tabloid headlines and bluff empirical sarcasm. It is, like Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom, a show about nothing. But it succeeds because it is in on the joke, which it makes unexpectedly profound. Quite frankly, there is more art here, despite it being invisible, than in a lot of stuff galleries lure us to see.
There are indeed some invisible paintings in the show, white surfaces marked with materials that include "Brainwaves" by the Swiss artist Bruno Jakob. There is a drawing that fills a huge gallery and yet is almost impossible to find since the Taiwanese artist Lai Chih-Sheng has traced all the lines along floor tiles, corners of walls and fittings to make a drawing that is a near-invisible web-like echo of the place.
Yet the real heart of the exhibition is not so much in works that are barely there as in the thing they allude to, the unseen itself. As you put on a surreal buzzing headpiece to negotiate Jeppe Hein's invisible maze or speculate on which gallery-goer may be the actor hired by Bethan Huws to behave just like a visitor, the notion of a world beyond appearances takes on a strange and powerful reality.
This exhibition is a seriously brilliant jest. It is a genuine history of an idea in art, a fascination with the immaterial and imperceivable that can be traced back to the audacious claims of Yves Klein in late 1950s Paris to create invisible atmospheres and "air architecture", most famously in his 1958 exhibition of nothing, The Void. But it is also an absurd story. Carsten Holler exhibits an invisible car, one of a field of futuristic vehicles he designed for a utopian race. There is its starting place, painted on the gallery floor. But the supercar, called The Invisible, is for you to imagine.
The magic of the exhibition, its bizarre inversion of gallery-going, is that you do indeed imagine it. The car seems to be there. You don't step on its starting block, in case you scratch the unseen paintwork.
Nearby is an empty white plinth. The air above it is cursed. The artist Tom Friedman got a witch to curse a zone hovering above the pedestal. As soon as you know this you do not want to put your hand into that evil space.
Why? Because nothing demands something of us. The human mind fills blanks with images and ideas; that is what a ghost story is, a way of filling darkness. This exhibition reveals that when artists, from Klein to Chris Burden, who hid himself on an elevated shelf in a gallery in 1975, started to deny that art had to be seen, they opened up a theatre for the imagination.
In the Hayward Gallery, the ghost of Byars haunts The Ghost of James Lee Byars. The visible world, as Plato pointed out, is a veil concealing truth.
Remind you of anything?

Fun on GIANT SLIDE Circa 1968 (Vintage Film Home Movie). The Giant Slide, yellow and bright, brings laughter from all the kids (generations of people going down the slide, grandparents to children)…stands out from the crowd. The idea of a slide about 150 feet long, 50 feet high and 30 feet wide was born. An architect was consulted whereby they discussed the idea of a Giant Slide. The first slide was built at the Orange Show in San Bernardino, CA . It was a big success, but they weren't happy with this original design, so back to the architect. In September of 1968 the second slide was built at the Pomona Fairgrounds (where it remains to this day). This time they were happy with the results. Over the next four years, 42 slides were built, one in almost every state, and including Canada and Australia. In 1969, the Giant Slide was selected as the #1 fair attraction in America.

Spec Miata Champion Elliot Skeer earns a funded ride in the 2012 Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup
National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Teen Challenge Spec Miata Champion in the West Elliott Skeer became the latest aspiring racer to win the Mazda Shootout and join the Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development Ladder program class of 2012. An important springboard for seasoned enthusiast racers making the jump into big-time club racing, the competition this year pitted three fierce challengers against one another, with a full ride in the SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup waiting for the victor.
The 17-year old Skeer is currently a junior at High Tech High in San Marcos, California. The A-student is preparing to pursue a mechanical engineering degree but has yet to choose a college. His racing resume includes a decade of racing karts.
"Without this shootout and the Mazdspeed ladder, the path to the top looks like a giant maze," noted Skeer after his win. "This just changed my life and is helping me realize that it is possible to make my dream a reality and become a professional driver. I would also like to thank my sponsors; Rush Motorsport, Anthony Woodford Racing, and Pelican Replacement Windows. I can't wait for the adventure to begin."
This year's shootout total prize package is valued at over $75,000 and is the largest in club racing. It includes:
- $50,000 for running Skeer's car for the season
- $10,000 in parts support
- A Mazdaspeed driving suit and helmet
- Professional media training (courtesy of Mazdaspeed)
- 10 sets of BFGoodrich tires, one set per race (courtesy of BFGoodrich Tires)
- 10 entry fee waivers (courtesy of SCCA Pro Racing)
Skeer ran against SCCA Spec Miata Champion Elivan Goulart from Shelton, Connecticut and NASA Spec Miata and NASA Teen Challenge (East) Champion Nate Sparks out of Daphne, Alabama. All three had proven themselves on the track by winning a championship, so the criteria to move up via the shootout were more encompassing, consisting of motorsports business acumen as well as driving ability technical knowhow. The driving sessions were conducted at Buttonwillow Raceway Park using a Mazda MX-5 Playboy Cup Car prepared by Tri-Point Motorsports.
Each year Mazda invites a panel of outside judges to make the selection, combined providing a wealth of both on-and off-track expertise. Over a dozen professionals were involved in the preliminary business proposal review, on-track activities, or both. The panel consisted of:
- Andy Bornhop – Managing Editor, Road & Track magazine
- Peter Calhoun – Motorsport Program Manager, BFGoodrich Tires
- Alex Cross – Owner, Alex Cross Associates
- Charles Espenlaub – Professional Mazda racer, Rolex GrandAm GT
- John Fabijanic – Engineering Professor, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
- Greg Gill – Group VP, Haymarket Publications
- Eric Foss – Professional Racer, MAZDASPEED ladder alum
- John Horton – Owner, Horton Autosport
- Karl Koenigstein – Motorsport Engineering Manager, Michelin North America
- Silvia Mammone – Motorsports & Sponsorship Manager, Michelin North America
- Lisa Natale – Marketing Consultant, Playboy
- Brad Rampelberg – Professional racer, MAZDASPEED ladder alum
- Scott Shelton – Professional racer, MAZDASPEED ladder alum
- Errol Tucker Sr. – Owner, GoRacingTV.com
"Each year I'm more and more impressed with the quality of racers," reflected judge and Mazda racer Charles Espenlaub after the event. "Raw driving talent is no longer enough. All three of the finalists showed skills both on and off the track, and the judges landed on Elliott Skeer as the driver they would hire if they were running a team."
Skeer follows in the footsteps of Andrew Caddell, Brad Rampelberg, Justin Piscitell, Nick Evans, and Scott Shelton, the five previous Mazda shootout winners. The Mazdaspeed ladder has been a critical part of the success of up-and-coming racers including Raphael Matos, John Edwards, Conor Daly, Joel Miller, Connor De Phillippi, Dane Cameron, Jason Saini, Todd Lamb, Eric Foss, Michael Cooper, Trent Hindman, Danilo Estrella, Adam Christodoulou, Sage Karam, Spencer Pigot, Felix Serralles, Tristan Vautier, Petri Suvanto, and Scott Anderson.

Works well, looks legitimate, the band seems durable, it feels sturdy, smells good, waterproof works and I have to write five hundred words for this review to be posted, and receive points.

Really cheap watch, looks almost identical to the Casio G-Shock. So far the quality seems fair, has taken a few knocks without falling apart. It has a very comfortable fit. Analog part of the watch is basically useless, as it is difficult to see the arms at a glance, so you end up using the digital watch only. It says S-Shock on top rather than G-Shock,... Read more
It is a very nice looking watch, almost as the real G-Shock! it is easy to use and the price is VERY LOW!

Quality is good, comes in a well protected packaging. very easy to use, makes a nice sound if you like a small noise every hour. very comfortable, I even sleep with it on at night times, I haven't put it under the tap yet.

This gay German drama throws hook-ups, break-ups and screw-ups aplenty at its ensemble cast but generates few sparks.
Any semblance of charisma or chemistry is let down by an unengaging story too shallow to be a drama and not funny enough to be a comedy.
Sweet chanteuse soundtrack by Kitty Solaris, though.

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.
Q. What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?
Definitely Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. But I have not one idea of who I would pick to portray the characters. That book would be awesome as a movie though, and I believe I actually heard that there is talk of a movie being made. So yay!
This was a hard choice for me. Because there are alot of books I would love to see up on the big screen, the only problem is that the books I am thinking of are probably to long. So, the one that first came to mind was more a series of books instead of just one. That series being The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. It might just be because I just finished the latest addition and am on a serious Puck craze but who knows. As for charachters, I have no clue. I am horrid with names.

Comment: Re:Are they "small government" republicans ? he he (Score 1) 393
It then became co-opted by Republicans and enough right-wing extremists to drive away most moderates and all right-leaning Democrats.
Or more to the point: It became co-opted and taken over partially by Karl Rove and his cronies and then successfully painted by establishment Republicans and their Democratic peers as an extremist movement. All this because entrenched Republicans and Democrats neither want to be disrupted from their position of power or ousted by outsiders. Government by and for the government.
While third parties have historically done poorly in US elections, given how little functional difference there is between the two ruling parties, we're sorely in need of change.
Although my voter registration says "Republican," I have increasingly less and less respect for most "Republicans," including Karl Rove, Ann Coulter, many of the establishment incumbents, and dozens of others who happen to be as big (or bigger) spenders as their DNC compatriots they rail against. It's like someone else said earlier in the thread: It's not that either party is opposed to regulation, they just can't agree on what needs regulating.

Drack have you ever read Vol'jin's short story, "The Judgemet"? I'm like Vol'jin, I stand up for something I believe in, even if it leads to struggling and pain. The Alliance is a choice. It isn't your personal army to chose who your enemies are. It's a lose coalition of mutual defense. And the Alliance has been assaulted by the Horde. It is the foreign policy of any good self respecting coalition to fight any enemy that attacks it's member states until the Alliance is justly compensated and that threat is neutralized. You may feel it's petty but I feel it's justice and if anything, at least they fought for something they believe in, whether they win or lose. If you don't want to fight the Horde...pull out of the Alliance. But the thing that keeps the Alliance together, is dismantling the mutual threat of the Horde. And I hope to god Blizz does not rob the Alliance of that.

For the final Monday in Movember, we decided to spotlight a man who reached a milestone in his career most recently…His first ever platinum single! Tyler Farr is a singer/songwriter from a small town in Missouri. Tyler learned about country music from his stepfather, who played guitar for the legendary George Jones.
Once Tyler realized his love for country music, he moved to Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. Tyler began working at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, a popular bar in Music City. After working at Tootsie's for several months, Tyler convinced the management to allow him to perform. Tyler started performing four nights a week, along with maintaining his job as a bouncer.
Tyler also found himself becoming friends with Rhett Akins, who saw Tyler's talent and wanted to work with him. Tyler ultimately worked with some of the best writers in Nashville and was signed to BNA Records. Tyler has written for Colt Ford and opened for Jerrod Niemann and Lee Brice before releasing his debut album, Redneck Crazy. The title track of Redneck Crazy recently was awarded with RIAA Platinum Certification.
Congratulations, Tyler, on your recent successes! Keep this artist's name in your minds, ladies and gentlemen. Tyler is certainly going to be a huge part of country music moving forward!

(CBS) The Bears will sign Jake Laptad to handle long snapping duties for the injured Patrick Mannelly, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Laptad spent time with the Bears during training camp and was the long snapper in the team's final preseason game against the Browns.
Mannelly, a captain, tore his ACL in Sunday's 31-20 win over the Chargers and was placed on injured reserve Monday.
The Bears still have one roster spot available after waiving defensive end Mario Addison Monday. They are expected to sign a veteran backup quarterback with Jay Cutler shelved with thumb injury.
