Posted on 01/06/2013 5:41:57 AM PST by Kaslin
Matt Damons latest film Promised Land arrived in theaters nationwide yesterday with a focus on the controversial issue of fracking. Written by Matt Damon (who won an Oscar for co-writing Good Will Hunting) and John Krasinski (The Office), the story focuses on a small community that is asked to debate the merits of the process when a large corporation arrives in town wanting to buy much of the local land.
In an article from the Wall Street Journal, reporter Daniel Gilbert described -- much more succinctly than the film does -- what the process of fracking entails. He noted that Fracking involves blasting millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a well to break up shale and allow oil and gas to flow out.
The community that Promised Land is set in is suffering financially and tempted by the thought of having millions of dollars poured into the region. Damon plays Steve Butler, a salesman who tries to convince the locals to sell the land to his company, Global. When a local politician hosts a discussion of the subject in the high school gym, though, Butler spots trouble right away when a teacher (played by Hal Holbrook) interrupts the forum to question the environmental impact that fracking would have in the area. Soon enough, a charismatic environmentalist named Dustin Noble (Karsinski) arrives in town and tries to get the locals to reject Global.
The movie, focusing on the controversial subject, has inevitably received criticism from those on the Right and praise from some on the Left. But its not the movies political leanings that hold it back. Its the simplicity in which the writers evaluate the subject.
Superficially, the movie seeks to argue that fracking can be both beneficial and detrimental. Butler argues that it will help the community because it will bring in more money to the individuals who sell their land. Noble argues that fracking will destroy the community and even grossly suggests -- to a group of young students, no less -- that fracking could cause the whole community to burst into flame.
When you think about the real substance of the film, though, its ideology is clear. Like many evil corporations , the fracking company in Land has a cold and hardened name: Global. As opposed to the small-town farmers depicted in the movie, the company has arrived in town to take over the community without any respect to its traditions or values. The characters names also lack much subtlety. Butler is, of course, the character who does the corporations chores for them. He gets the locals to sign their land away, working for a company that he seemingly knows little about. (At one point, he even questions some of the damning evidence against his company, noting that if the evidence was true, he would have already heard about it already). On the other hand, the proud environmentalist is named Noble.
So whom would you trust? A Butler who works for a corporation -- or a Noble who loves the environment and loves spending time with regular people?
It should be noted that the story offers some twists that seek to offer more complexity to the main characters. Those twists, however, fail to take the story to a higher level. Instead, they just show how evil -- and ruthless -- the corporation really is. From the beginning of the film, the deck is stacked in favor of the environmental forces. By the end, the story reveals that much of the debate about fracking only existed because the corporation wanted it to exist.
Of course, the movie argues that Global is evil. Its a corporation that exists solely to make money. And as Butler argues, the townspeople should agree to its requests because they too can be greedy capitalists. In one scene, he argues that the money that the townspeople receive will be screw you money (although Butler doesnt use the word screw). But few arguments are offered about the benefits of fracking and why many consider it a viable energy source.
In other words, Promised Land takes a complex issue -- worthy of a vigorous and important debate about energy independence -- and simplifies it, leaving the viewer with a blatantly one-sided account of the issue.
That film is going to bomb.
large corporation arrives in town wanting to BUY much of the local land, compared to reality, the government TAKING IT.
Superficially, the movie seeks to argue that fracking can be both beneficial and detrimental.
Wow. Giving both sides of fracking. I was not interested in the movie but since it gives the positive and negatives or pro and con of this why are people against this movie? Crazy!!!! I think movies that give you both sides of an issue is a good thing. I am surprised conservatives are against this....shouldn't making up your own mind and decisions be a conservative attribute?
It's not a complicated issue at all.
1. There is tons of proof that fracking recovers tons of natural gas and oil in a cost effective way. Doing that will add tons of jobs, hugely reduce our trade deficit, and hurt terrorists.
2. There is no evidence at all that fracking damages water supplies.
Making this "complicated" is just a backdoor way to decarbonize America, kill job creation, increase the trade deficit and help terrorists.
Making this "complicated" suggests that there are two reasonable sides to this issue that need to be balanced. There are not.
Oh definitely. The film cannot compete with Texas Chainsaw and Django. Those two are the top movies of the weekend guaranteed!!!! I have not seen either one of these but Django seems interesting....if it is like Pulp Fiction which it seems to be it might be a decent movie.
There is no evidence at all that fracking damages water supplies.
It is too soon to know. Smoking cigarettes were not classified as bad for you for a ton of time until they found out they are not the greatest item on the market when thinking about health.
As long as there are schools, environmentalist pablum will have a market.
Yes, we knew but accepted the risk.
Now we have a bunch of fat people that live with diabetes rather than a bunch of thin people that die of cancer.
Life's hard - choices matter.
Are you trying to suggest that there might be something unsavory about the fact that Saudi Arabia funded Matt Damon's little movie and that it might be biased?
A simple LIE maybe.
The first well was fracked in Pennsylvania, nearly 100 years ago. It is not too soon to say it's safe.
The only risk with fracking is human error when handling the drilling fluids above ground. (ruptured tanks, leaking tankers, improper/illegal disposal)
Playing Devil's Advocate:
One could say the same about the Movie "Atlas Shrugged Part I/Part II". The message in Atlas is: capitalism is good, government control is bad, captains of industry can save the nation. It's really quite one-sided.
The difference is: The pro-socialist movie gets a big star (Matt Damon), and big publicity budget, wide opening release, will probably win an award, and may make a profit.
The "Atlas Shrugged" movies were shunned, featured no one famous, got no awards, and made no profit.
Telling a one-sided story in favor of socialism can work out very well. It's money in the bank.
Telling a one-sided story about capitalism is not welcome at this point in history. It's financially risky.
If you think this movie gives both sides, you are sadly mistaken. The flick was largely financed by United Arab Emirates backers. Guess what THEY want.
There is no real scientific controversy about fracking, which has been done for half a century, with improving safety the entire time.
The whole "anti-fracking" meme (not just this movie) is promulgated by a confederation of interest between "green" eco-nuts and OPEC. The greens provide the propaganda, and the OPEC interests see that it gets transmitted (OPEC entities own large chunks of Associated Press, Fox, and many other channels for propaganda transmission).
Have there been incidents from fracking.....yes. But like mass school shootings they have been (and make the news only because) they are very, VERY rare.
Exaclty - haven't/won't see it, but I bet you can summarize his role as, "Fracking helps provide plentiful, affordable energy.....Oh my God, what have I helped wreak on the poor planet...I'm so fracking sorry, but now I know better; fracking and cheap energy are eeeeeeevil".
I think it was Michael Medved who described "Promised Land" as the "China Syndrome of Fracking", a movie designed to make people terrified of an energy source.
Natural gas in well water is not necessarily or even usually due to fracking.
More likely it is a result of the slow release of natural gas through existing fissures in the earth. Eventually some of this natural gas could dissolve in water deep underground. When the water is pumped up to the surface the dissolved gas will bubble out, just like a carbonated drink. If the gas is allowed to collect in a well cistern, it could ignite or explode if exposed to the air and a spark.
It would not surprise me at all if such water well explosions have occurred in the past, but it would very much surprise me if any such occurrence could be linked in any way to "fracking".
I happen to live in an area where the sand used in the fracking process is removed from the landscape and shipped to the drilling sites. While many land owners and the community do benefit from the sale and eventual mining process, the sand mining process needs a closer look. Considering the entire process involved with fracking, the sand mining does indeed make a MAJOR change to the landscape, some good and some not so good. I invite ANYONE wanting to learn more about frack sand mining to look into that mining process before commenting about "fracking". Get educated.
Now I don't have to see the movie besides anytime the left coast wants to make a political statement in a film all I can say is Frack them.
It is, but relying upon Hollywood (and more specifically, Matt Damon) is not.
Complicated: Kom-pla-kated.. a word often used when the left needs to make you believe lies devoid of facts to advance their agenda
They make up numbers for everything else so I suspect the day has come when we cannot believe their movie numbers.
After all they benefit greatly if they can fudge the numbers.
Shame on America for what we have become
Welcome to Hollywood!
Just like Al Gore's Inconvenient Crap was.
Don't you mean welcome to Hollyweird?
Sin is a reproach to any nation.
...and next we have the story of Jane Roe.
She had just been told her 'problem' was taken care of when the big TV in the waiting area blurted out the news that 26 had died in another part of Connecticut.
Here are her words...
There will be about 46 of these stories...
from that day...
and the next day...
and the next...
and the...
Too soon to know? We've been fracking for 50 or 60 years.
You should really get informed about things you are attempting to opine upon.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Tells Congress "No Proven Cases Where Fracking Has Affected Water"
Just for the record.
Exactly. It's reminiscent of the way oil seeping up naturally from the ocean floor and washing up on beaches was used to ban offshore drilling in California.
what REALLY is a "complex issue"...?
That's a situation in which leftists KNOW that really a really good study of the issue details by middle-class people will hand them an end-scenario that they'll view as DEFEAT. So instead of you looking into those pesky details they ask you to rely on them to summarize them FOR YOU.
And they'll be eager to do that for you because they see the middle-class as IDIOTS whose real raison d'etre is to be manipulated by leftist elites.
When a leftist deems a situation complex...
1. He wants something you have
2. He's showing his belief that you're an idiot
3. He's showing his belief it is natural for him to make decisions for you
"I am surprised conservatives are against this....shouldnt making up your own mind and decisions be a conservative attribute?"
Life's too short to wade through all the lefty BS.
If I want indoctrination or to attempt to decipher code or to experience a `feel good,' Capra-esque, goo-goo moment, I'll watch `Bowling For Columbine,' `An Inconvenient Truth,' `The Day After Tomorrow,' or any number of Hollyweird agit-prop pieces. On second thought—no, I won't.
It's all spinach and I say to hell with it. How's that?
Say it ain't so, Jim Halpert. :(
"Are you trying to suggest that there might be something unsavory about the fact that Saudi Arabia funded Matt Damons little movie and that it might be biased?"
No, I would never do that. It would be wrong.
I wrote: "There is no evidence at all that fracking damages water supplies."
You replied: "It is too soon to know. Smoking cigarettes were not classified as bad for you for a ton of time until they found out they are not the greatest item on the market when thinking about health."
In other words, there's no evidence. You're just scared something might come up. Well, something always "might" come up. In the meantime, while you and your green friends wring their hands and block meaningful progress, America will continue funding Muslim terrorists and hemorrhaging jobs.
You will probably prevail. You have fear and the media on your side. Boo!
It's just about as "balanced" as "The China Syndrome" was.

Kind of impressive when you see the list gathered together all in one place, isn't it? And one of them probably even has his own little blue dress.

We are selling our soul. The Local Rag gets it.
New arrivals at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, detention camp look up from their chained wrists and ankles as the official greeting crackles over the loudspeakers:
"Welcome to the American gulag.
"You have been declared 'unlawful enemy combatants' by President Bush. As such – and with the full consent of the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress – you can be imprisoned indefinitely. Until death.
"Your interrogations will begin almost immediately. Remain standing. You may be subject to harsh 'alternative' tactics by CIA personnel or U.S. military. Again, each of these tactics has been fully approved by Congress.
And it could be you. Or me.
"Buried in the complex Senate compromise on detainee treatment is a real shocker, reaching far beyond the legal struggles about foreign terrorist suspects in the Guantanamo Bay fortress. The compromise legislation, which is racing toward the White House, authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights."
Addendum, 9./29/2006
What we've seen happen in the last five years is not something that should invoke pride or flag-waving jingoism in Americans. We've watched a president and vice president whose lies have become so commonplace that they seldom even make the news. We've watched as our military men and women are killed or maimed in a war that has nothing to do with terror and everything to do with Bush and his mindless supporters selling fear to suit their ideological and financial agenda.
We've seen a world go from loving us on September 12, 2001 – many governments declared "we are all Americans today" – to us becoming a global pariah, with nary a friend who believes in our word or the promise of our deeds. We saw astounding pictures come back from Abu Ghraib, in which prisoners under our watch were tortured and, in some cases, killed.
And just this week, we have watched the Republican-led Congress affirm that all of that — and more — is just fine with them. At the same time, we have become willing to let the president mortgage our present and our children's financial future to spend money on a war that did not need to be fought, while ruining a reputation that previous generations worked so hard to build.
From Ann Telnaes:
With a tip to Dan Froomkin.
Yeah, they get all upset when Hewlett-Packard does it:
The saga of Hewlett-Packard Co.'s spying scandal — which has toppled the company's chairwoman, two other directors and at least two high-ranking executives — deepened in intrigue Thursday as lawmakers exploring the imbroglio summoned comparisons to Watergate and Enron.
Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee demanded to know how investigators for the respected Silicon Valley anchor could use tawdry tactics such as "pretexting," or impersonating HP directors, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records.
But when the persons who have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America do it, where are they?
I have until now laid off the story about Senator George Allen.
But, as a Virginian (and, though you might take the Virginian out of Virginia, you cannot take Virginia out of the Virginian), I must say, it's been difficult.
When he was governor, he came close to bankrupting the Commonwealth by following his Republican "cut taxes and spend" philosophy.
As a Virginian who grew up under Jim Crow, one whose roots are three centuries in Virginia, I have lots of experience with bigots.
I have found that most bigots don't think of themselves as bigots.
I do not charge Mr. Allen with bigotry. I do not know him, nor, frankly, would I care to.
True Virginians don't care for folks who pretend to a heritage that is not theirs.
Now comes someone with first hand memories of Allen's behavior while he was already in political life. Doug Thompson reports:
In 1984, I worked as a contract field consultant for the National Republican Congressional Committee and also as a writer for the Voices for Victory Program in the Reagan-Bush Presidential campaign.
During that time, I attended a meeting of GOP political operatives in Richmond, Virginia. Among those present was a young delegate, George Allen, son of the legendary Washington Redskins coach.
At a cocktail party that followed our meeting, Allen huddled with some other Virginia politicos and GOP operatives and discussed the upcoming Presidential election as well as a field of Democratic candidates that, at the time, featured civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.
"You mark my words," Allen said. "Jesse Jackson can't win in Virginia. Hell, he's so far-out that even the niggers won't vote for him."
Follow the link. There's more. And it's scarier. For it tells how little some folks have learned over the past half decade, if not about what to believe, at least about how to behave in public.
Who do these quotations refer to? (Hint: It's not who you think.) Follow the link to find out.
About the president acting unilaterally, without seeking advice or consent: "The incompetence of his administration [has not stopped] it from vigorously defending the president's sole authority to control the execution of the law."
About the president's response to crisis: "He acted with his usual strong determination, dogged stubbornness and confused insight."
About the president's mangling of the English language: "It reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it . . . It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."
(Aside: It's a damn shame that all of them could refer to who you think.)
Now not just on cell phones, but also with cell phones:
Family-owned Chevy Chase Supermarket is one of the first businesses in the Washington area to begin putting in place a pay-by-cellphone system. Using radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, customers will be able to store credit card and bank account numbers in their cellphones and charge their bill by swiping the phone across a sensor in the checkout line.
According to the van I saw today, it now makes "Home Interiors."
Which reminded me of Andrew Cassel's column about John Walston's The Buzzword Dictionary:
Information architect: A librarian.
Director of first impressions: A receptionist.
Insourcing: The opposite of outsourcing – e.g., you fired the cleaning service and now sweep up the shop yourself.
Up-titling: Giving important-sounding names to jobs such as those above.
Negative profit: A loss.
Marital rupture: A divorce.
Negative patient outcome: Call the undertaker.
Monetize: Getting paid, as in "we monetize our intellectual capital" when you pay for our advice.
Mission-critical: As Walston puts it, "another sign that too many people have read too many Tom Clancy books. What was wrong with 'essential'?"
Percussive maintenance: "Whacking the heck out of something to get it running again."
Prebuttal: A preemptive rebuttal. Something the opposition party does days before the president's State of the Union speech.
Then there are the nouns that have been verb-ed: "Efforting," "dialoguing," "actioning," "potentialize," "proceduralize," "operationalize."
And words that were jazzed up during the tech boom: "E-tainment," "e-marketing," "e-cubation," "dot-corp," "B2B," "P2P," "E2E."
I'm adding Walston's site to my links. It should be useful in decoding statements by politicians and business executives, especially statements made when they are trying to cover up something.
As a follow-up to the previous post, I offer this:
Professor R.K. Ramazani, professor emeritus of government and foreign affairs at the University of Virginia, hazards a few guesses. Of course, it's always iffy to extrapolate to today's world what thinkers of the past would have done–though I do not hesitate to do so as I picture the Founders spinning in their graves–but, having been educated in Virginia and having studied Jefferson and his thought, as well as his practical political leadership, I think that Professor Ramazani is pretty much on target:
(I)f asked how best to spread democracy, Jefferson would have suggested three alternative and peaceful methods. First among these would be America's own example of liberal democratic practices. In 1801, he wrote: "A just and solid republican government here will be a standing monument and example for the aim and imitation of people of other countries."
Second would be effective use of what we now call public diplomacy. That includes widespread sharing of information and a fair degree of transparency in our dealings with other countries. He wrote in 1810: "No one more sincerely wishes the spread of information among mankind than I do, and none has greater confidence in its supporting free and good government."
Third, and most important, Jefferson would have stressed support for the American system of higher education. In today's parlance, he would have advocated expanding American educational initiatives, such as the Fulbright exchange program. Jefferson firmly believed that public education was a vital weapon in uprooting authoritarian rulers and promoting the creation of democratic governments. In his memorable words: "Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."
And regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, Jefferson would have insisted on upholding the principles of international law in general, and the Geneva Conventions in particular. There are echoes of the Jeffersonian precepts of 1781 in Article 3 of the Conventions – which has been the focus of so much negotiation between the president and Senate Republicans – and in the Supreme Court's decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. Both Article 3 and Hamdan bar inhumane treatment of war prisoners. More than 200 years ago, Jefferson urged that Americans should endeavor "as far as possible to alleviate the inevitable miseries of war by treating captives as humanity and national honor requires."
Hmmmph. National honor.
Almost all gone, squandered by the current Federal Administration.
As my two or three regular readers know, my son serves with the 82nd Airborne. On his wall is a poster titled
Maybe his civilian bosses should post the same poster on their walls.
Especially the parts about "Honor," "Integrity," and "Respect."
On the Media takes a look at what's going on now in comparison with the runup to the war in Iraq. Similarities are found:
With tensions escalating between Washington and Tehran, and the IAEA trying to cut through both sides' spin, some in the intelligence community are getting an eerie sense of déjà vu. Guest host Mark Jurkowitz talks to McClatchy Newspapers foreign affairs correspondent Warren Strobel about what journalists can do this time to avoid the mistakes they made in the lead-up to the Iraq war.
I'll post the transcript when it's up. You can listen to it directly here.

Read the transcript here.
Few in the English-speaking world would not recognize the The Lord of the Rings, even if they had not read it or seen the movie.
I recommend that everyone read it, so he or she can then have to pleasure of reading Bored of the Rings, the Harvard Lampoon parody of Professor Tolkein's work.
In one of the most dramatic of the scenes in Bored, the seven Ringers (the Boggies, Frito, Moxie, and Pepsi, accompanied by Spam [Frito's gardener]; Legolam the Elf; Gimlet the Dwarf; Arrowroot of Arrowshirt, keeper of Krona, the Sword that Was Broken; and Bromosel, prince of Minas Troney; all led by Goodgulf the Wizard), are traversing the Mines of Andrea Doria (the dreaded Nikon-Zoom of Gimlet's people–ed.):
Before long the passageway sloped more gently down until with a final plunge it led into a great chamber lined with huge metal lockers and dimly let by a firey glow. As they entered, the rumblings grew louder: Dribble. Dribble. Fake. Dribble. Fake. Dribble. Fake. Shoot.
As Goodgulf stepped onto the bridge, the passage echoed with an ominous dribble, dribble, and a great crowd of narcs burst forth. In their midst was a towering dark shadow too terrible to describe. In its hand it held a huge black globe and on its chest was written in cruel runes, "Villanova."
"Aiyee," shouted Legolam. "A ballhog."
Not long ago, with the fall of Communism (aside–Communism is dead; only a few Stalinist remnants remain, so why do certain elements of our polity still resort to calling those whose views they oppose "Commies"?), there was talk of an American Century.
Then there was talk of a New American Century:
The Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, is a Washington-based think tank created in 1997. Above all else, PNAC desires and demands one thing: The establishment of a global American empire to bend the will of all nations. They chafe at the idea that the United States, the last remaining superpower, does not do more by way of economic and military force to bring the rest of the world under the umbrella of a new socio-economic Pax Americana.
Most ominously, this PNAC document described four "Core Missions" for the American military. The two central requirements are for American forces to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars," and to "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions." Note well that PNAC does not want America to be prepared to fight simultaneous major wars. That is old school. In order to bring this plan to fruition, the military must fight these wars one way or the other to establish American dominance for all to see.
Vice President Dick Cheney is a founding member of PNAC, along with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz is the ideological father of the group. Bruce Jackson, a PNAC director, served as a Pentagon official for Ronald Reagan before leaving government service to take a leading position with the weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin.
And now those persons, with a vision of an American hegemony enforced by arms, are in power and arguably have acted on their vision.
Like a seven-year-old who wants his way at any course, they have attempted to get their way by hitting people and breaking toys. Consider the record:
Failure, failure, failure.
So what do they suggest now?
More hitting people and breaking toys, while claiming God is on their side.
I guess that's running the government like a business: If what you are doing doesn't work, do the same thing harder.
The current Federal Administration has made the United States into a Ballhog.
The war in Iraq has become a primary recruitment vehicle for violent Islamic extremists, motivating a new generation of potential terrorists around the world whose numbers may be increasing faster than the United States and its allies can reduce the threat, U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded.
A 30-page National Intelligence Estimate completed in April cites the "centrality" of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the insurgency that has followed, as the leading inspiration for new Islamic extremist networks and cells that are united by little more than an anti-Western agenda. It concludes that, rather than contributing to eventual victory in the global counterterrorism struggle, the situation in Iraq has worsened the U.S. position, according to officials familiar with the classified document.

Auckland - New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl first in the opening Twenty20 match against a Pakistan side that includes Mohammad Amir at Eden Park on Friday.
The match mark's Amir's return from a five-year ban for spot-fixing which halted the left-arm quick's career at the age of 18 when he was already being touted as a future great of the game.
It remains to be seen whether he can immediately produce the form that saw him become the fastest player to take 50 test wickets.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said he wanted to bowl first with the prospect that conditions "will assist us with the bat" later in the evening.
New Zealand made two changes to the side that beat Sri Lanka on the same wicket five days ago, with Matt Henry replacing Mitchell McClenaghan and legspinner Todd Astle making his debut as he comes in for Ross Taylor.
New Zealand: Kane Williamson (captain), Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Corey Anderson, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi, Todd Astle, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Sohaib Maqsood, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi (captain), Imad Wasim, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir.
Umpires: Phil Jones and Derek Walker, New Zealand.
TV umpire: Billy Bowden, New Zealand. Match referee: David Boon, Australia.

|[jira] Commented: (JDO-324) Derby "ERROR 40XL1" in multithreaded test "RefreshAllNoParameterSideEffects"
|Wed, 01 Mar 2006 20:30:51 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-324?page=comments#action_12368352 ] Michael Bouschen commented on JDO-324: -------------------------------------- I agree, the test is not correct. I think we do not need multiple threads to test the assertion. Here is what I think the test should do: - Setup creates a new instance, commit the trsnaction and stores the oid in an instance variable. - Create a pm, start an optimistic transaction and read the object with pm.getObjectById using the stored oid. - Create another pm, start a new transaction, read the same object, update it and commit the second transaction. - The first transaction calls pm.refresh for the object, updates it and commits the transaction. The above should not result in an exception because the refresh call synchronizes the cache with the current state of the datastore, so there is no parallel update. > Derby "ERROR 40XL1" in multithreaded test "RefreshAllNoParameterSideEffects" > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-324 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-324 > Project: JDO > Type: Bug > Components: tck20 > Versions: JDO 2 rc1 > Reporter: Jörg von Frantzius > Attachments: derby-dsid-pm-junit.txt > > When using latest JPOX nightly (01-Mar-2006 04:21), I get a "ERROR 40XL1: A lock could not be obtained within the time requested" Derby error (see next attachment for log file). This happens while running RefreshAllNoParameterSideEffects, which is multithreaded, and it happens for both threads. > This is with Windows XP SP2 and JDK 1.4.2_09 on a dual core machine.

Update killed my phonebook
my HTC one had an adroid update the other night which, beyond annoyingly changing the system colours, for some odd reason decided to unlink all of my phone numbers from their (once) related entries. now i have a phonebook that's nothing but numberless names and facebook accounts and a message folder that's a bunch of texts from nameless numbers.
what the devil was this update meant to do?

Re: Update killed my phonebook
You may want to try removing the various accounts from your phone (like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), and then adding them back again. This might make the People app reset its database correctly.

I couldn't enjoy it. I'm sorry, man. I was really trying, but I couldn't.
The artwork was fantastic, though. Despite being black and white (which I assume to be intentional), the proportions were very well done, and I'm grateful that you didn't turn it into an anime style (at least too much). There was too much detail to be shown, and you really pulled through on that. I also loved the little film grain you put over it.
The music was both cliche and unappealing. While it was a better selection than most other candidates, I found myself annoyed by it. Not only that, but there were no voices or sound effects. A voice to go along with it would have given it a very human element.
Lastly is the concept. While it was a valiant effort, it failed. Your comments on it summed up a few of the quotes pretty well: Cliche. While you say nothing can beat the sincerity of one's heart, I would think of sincerity best defined through phrases you wrote yourself. The canned lines were really bad.
Overall, the graphics were very good, but I found everything else to be lacking. I'd suggest you leave these side distractions and piece together Gen X: Chapter 2.
i was not hurt on v-day, but this year it was almost time for v-day, and i was liking her more and more every day. Till she broke up with me. she wanted to be frineds, and still wanted me in her life, but it cant hapen.. and my heart still hurnts... cuz its never i find a person i like as much as i could of liked her.. such is life i guess, how ever crewl and un justly
Cries T.T
This video reminds me of my own failure in love. The guy was a sophmore and I was a senior. We were great friends, but I was afraid that he would reject me and that our relationship would be damaged by that. Also, I knew that once I graduated, we would probably never see eachother again.
So I let him slip away, and I shall regret it for the rest of my life. Every time I think about him, I feel the hole in my heart, and wonder when or even if, I'll find a replacement.

sorry your hurting on valentined's day ur flash was really great i voted a 5
that was...touching

This week, I found myself questioning just how smart the majority of these people are. I'd like to believe that only the strong and intelligent can play Survivor, but after this episode – I'm really starting to have my doubts.
The Malakal tribe returned from tribal council after voting off Ami, and it seemed as if the tribe had trouble getting over the guilt. Erik on the other hand, was thrilled to be the only remaining fan on the Malakal tribe after fighting so hard to get there. The tribe hoped that the next day would lead to a merge.
At the Airai camp, Jason and Eliza, both feeling like outsiders, began forming an alliance; they figured if they could get Ami on their side, they would be sitting pretty. Jason also told Eliza that he had the immunity idol. Eliza was happy but little did she know that two things would soon crash down on her. One: Ami had been voted out. Two: Jason had a fake immunity idol planted by Ozzy. Eliza also tried to strengthen her bonds with Parvati. However, Parvati was just more convinced that Eliza should go next.
I never liked Parvati. I didn't like her when I saw her in Survivor; Cook Islands, and I certainly don't like her now. At first it was because she was being stupid and using her looks to get by. This year, she's pretty much doing the same thing, only she looks down on everyone else and assumes everyone should just jump to her. Let me tell you, it's that kind of stuff that will kill you, sister. Even if she made it to the final two, so many people will dislike her that no one will vote for her.
The teams received tree mail, telling them to pack all the belongings they wanted to take with them to the merge. Now when they said all the belongings, they really took that seriously. They even packed the flags of their old tribes before finally leaving to meet the other tribe. At the beach, there was a feast waiting for them and everyone rejoiced. Some were excited to see friends; others were excited to make new alliances. Eliza was greatly disappointed to find it had been Ami, not Erik, who had been voted out. This had put a huge hole in her plan.
The survivors were told they would spend the night at this beach and decide which old beach to call home for their new tribe. They mutually agreed the former Malakal beach was the best beach. For a tribe name, Erik had suggested Dabu, a supposedly Micronesian word for "good." The tribe liked it and picked it as their tribe name. As it turned out, Erik revealed that Dabu was just a random word he picked and that he had no clue what it meant. So basically, for all the tribe knew, Dabu could be Micronesian for "hooker"?
Actually, I looked up the national language for Micronesia, and in a sad twist of fate, that national language is English. I was amazed. I didn't even know there was a Micronesia before this season, but still. No one looked it up? In past seasons people picked names from other languages, there's a reason, they don't know what the national language is. So basically, they should have just called the tribe "Good"?
I think we should take a page out of Futurama's book and name the tribe the "Fighting Mongooses." You know, just have fun with it, as opposed to picking a word you've probably never heard in your life. Go tribe … The Broncos?
Anyway, they spent the night on the beach. During which Alexis and Ozzy got awfully close — too close for Amanda's liking. She became jealous that Alexis was moving in on her Ozzy. Now, this coming from the girl who once plotted to get rid of Ozzy. I've come to the conclusion, though she's not as bad as Parvati, Amanda had absolutely no idea what she wants. One minute, Amanda wants Ozzy gone, the next she wants Alexis gone for getting to close to him.
The next morning, the tribes made their way back to the former Malakal camp. Eliza began freaking out about tribal council, knowing that she was the next target to go. Jason, however, promised Eliza that if he won the immunity challenge, he would give her the (air quotation hand sign) hidden immunity idol (air quotation hand sign).
Parvati meanwhile, was strategizing with Amanda and revealed she had put them into an alliance with Natalie and Alexis. Amanda was mad that Parvati had gotten her in this situation. I couldn't blame her. Parvati might have just put Amanda in a horrible spot. If she goes one way, she's going against half the tribe, if she goes another way; she still loses half the tribe. In other words, Amanda's biggest hope at this point is if she goes up against Parvati, because either way, she's betraying a group of people.
Jeff was just as surprised as I was when he heard the tribe name. In fact, I think I saw a look of disbelief when they told him about the name. Jeff decided to keep any thoughts he had about it to himself. Jeff is a man with more self-control than me. I would have done one of two things. One, tell them how stupid they are all. Two, make up another completely fake meaning and reveal that as the Micronesian definition for Dabu. For example: Dabu, in my book, would mean "big-pile of doggy doo." I guarantee that would have a made an interesting conversation later on.
The immunity challenge was pretty simple to understand. Each of the tribe mates would stand in the water under a metal grate. For as long as they could, they had to stand under the grate as the tide began rise, covering them in water. The person who could stand under this grate the longest won immunity.
No one flaked out early in the game; however, when people started giving up, all the girls seemed to fly off first followed by Erik and James. Leaving Ozzy, the fishman, and his biggest fan (that's questionable, by the way) Jason against one another. In the end, Ozzy accidentally took in the some water and had to come out, making Jason the winner.
Eliza soon discovered that everyone in tribe except Jason was voting for her. Jason snuck the immunity idol into Eliza's bag, only for Eliza to find out it was a fake idol. Although I don't think much of Eliza, I only have to say – at least she was smart enough to know it wasn't the idol. Jason convinced her to play it anyway, just in case it was. Figuring she had nothing else to lose, she decided to try it.
During the tribal council, everyone made the same point – Eliza was good physically and mentally in the game, she just wasn't very good socially. Eliza and Parvati got into a heated argument, which only ended when it was time to vote. After everyone voted, Eliza tried to give Jeff the idol. Jeff told her what she already knew: it wasn't the real idol. Eliza then told everyone that Ozzy had the real idol, which he admitted was true. Jeff threw Ozzy's fake idol in the fire, getting complaints from him. Ozzy said and I quote "Come on, man. That took me hours to make." Finally, Jeff read the votes and Eliza was voted out. She became the first member of the survivor jury. She was disappointed, but to say she was shocked would be ridiculous.
So, what did I think of the episode. Stupid, not the actual episode, but what people did in it. I might have lost ten I.Q. points watching these people. I hope they're smarter because I couldn't bare another week with this much stupidity.
Next week :
A special reward is planned for the winners of the next challenge. Could this be a chance to strategize?
The all-girl alliance wants Ozzy out, but without Amanda's help, that could be hard.
James and Ozzy come together and reform their alliance. Could they make it to the bottom two? I hope so, it'd be the best bottom two since Ozzy and Yul from Survivor: Cook Islands. I know, there was a third one in that bottom group, but I don't count her.
After the show, there was also a commercial about going on the Survivor website about a video about where the survivor jury goes after their voted out. The place is called Survivor: Ponderosa. It's basically a rec hall—the survivors sleep outside in cozy tents and are allowed to do whatever on the beach or in the small building. They also have an unlimited amount of snacks and food to eat and a bathroom. I always thought they went to a five-star hotel or something. Apparently, I was mistaken. It was interesting though. Being the fan I am, I'm glad I got to see where the survivors go when their voted out. You can find it on the Survivor website.Powered by Sidelines

While none of the actors showed up for a grand lunch at Locanda Verde in the movie's honor, the director Sarah Gavron, producer Alison Owen, scriptwriter Abi Morgan, and Pankhurst's great granddaughter Helen Pankhurst spoke on a panel moderated by Marie Brenner, about the filmmaking and why this film is relevant now.

How many prostitutes are doing it only because they really need the money, to feed their family? Or maybe they are addicted to drugs, and have no other way to pay for their addiction. Can you honestly say that being a prostitute is what they really want? Is that consent? What would happen if, say, a country starts providing basic income to all their citizens. How would that affect the number of people working in prostitution? Don't you think that number would drop dramatically?

A JIT compiler is used in a virtual machine to run a function/method by compiling it from some sort of bytecode or intermediate representation to native code and then jumping to the generated code to execute it. So in this case this would be when the Common Language Runtime wants to run a CIL method for the first time: it generates LLVM intermediate representation from the CIL, then uses LLVM to compile that to native code.
So it would be: CIL --> LLVM data --> native code
This means that the CLR, and thus all code compiled for

The Impact of Import Competition on Japanese Manufacturing Employment
Although previous studies of the effect of imports on Japanese employment relied on relatively aggregate data, the variability among industries is substantial within each two-digit sector. This paper exploits recently available longitudinal data of 390 manufacturing industries and controls for industry-specific factors at the four-digit level. This paper finds the significant impact of import price changes on Japanese employment. The estimates suggest that substantial share of average employment decline can be accounted for by the intensified import competition and that the employment sensitivity increases with industry import share. All these findings are significant especially for the yen appreciating recession years.

Project Description
I have a hotels presentation website that has recently been uploaded online. Unfortunately my workload is too heavy and i don't have time to work on it. I am looking for a partner with experience on marketing, management and sales who will have to work as a co-founder and make sales happen.

What i can provide is admin work, CEO and video production services.
The appropriate candidate is one who can decide what our marketing strategy will be and to manage anything needed. It's important to understand that i am not looking for an employee, since what i need is a partner who will have the same vision with me: To make this website popular and very profitable.
You may want to find sales executives to add in our team, sale our services by your own or even find ways to take advantages of my video production skills in order to attract clients. You are 100% free to manage this website by your own and make decisions.
Experience in tourism industry would be helpful, but if you have a good plan to work, it is not necessary.

If you have tips to share with other single moms or just want to help other single mothers and single parents out there, then tell us your story.
Pregnant at 14
I was a happy person. I had friends but I had one special friend. She was my BESTFRIEND. One day my cousin told us about this pills that made you feel good. Me and my BestFriend started to use them. We started using them. we came to a night that we took them and I had gotten rapped. I didn't remember anything that had happened that night. We had moved from that house. Later I started to have bad stomach ache and would throw up a lot. My mom had tooked me to the doctors and I had found out I was pregnant I was only 14. My mom cries a lot and so did I. I cried myself to sleep. I was scared because I don't know who had done it, I didn't know who the father was because I was stupid with the pills. When I found out I was 5 months and I didn't know who was the father my whole family found out they asked me questions. I seriously didn't know who was the father and I still don't. Child services had found out about me and asked to many questions and I said everything and that I didn't know who the father was they thought my story was a lie and I knew who the father was. They closed my case and later I had the baby. My family gave me all their support. But one thing I hated was that they always make fun of my baby because she was not the same skin color as me. They always tried to make up a name of who it could be. And know I'm 15 and I'm about to be 16 and I had all my family support and I still have the support of my BESTFRIEND and I Love her.
Hardships and BlessingsHi, my name is Coleen and when I was 16 years old, I got unintentionally pregnant. My son is now 21 years old and I couldn't be more thankful for everything he has added to my life. It wasn't always this way, however. Things were much different in 1994, being a pregnant teenage mother.
It was the start of my junior year of high school and just like every other teenage girl, I was reckless and naive. I had a new boyfriend and we did everything together. About 6 months into the relationship however, I began feeling sick a lot and simply not myself. My body seemed to be changing and I didn't know what was going on. I came home one day after school and I contacted a cousin of mine who worked at a local gas station and had her pick up a pregnancy test for me. I knew I had to keep this quiet, because if my parents found out I knew I would be looked at by them negatively. Once I got ahold of the pregnancy test, I discovered what I dreaded to believe: I was pregnant.
From here I didn't know what to do. It felt as though my life was over. I knew I wasn't ready to be a mother, and I had no idea how my boyfriend would feel about this. I knew what I had to do, and I told him. This was the most difficult part of the pregnancy. He told me he was not ready to be a father. He told me he was much to young and there was no way he could tell his parents. He decided to leave me.
From then on, I knew I was in this alone. My parents kicked me out of the house, and I had to find another place to stay. My grandparents were willing to take me in, but I had to pay a share of the rent. This caused me to have to drop out of school and get two jobs. From then on, I worked hard to give this baby the support he needed.
I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy and I look back now at the hardships the pregnancy caused me, but the blessings that this boy taught me. Being a teenage mother is hard and I made sure throughout my boys teenage years to stress the importance of safe sex and I hope that my story can reach out to teenage girls and show them that precautions and safety are important.
Coleen Jarads
My little boyHi Im Shannon but I go by the name shaay , Around this time last year I met a boy named Maj and we were off and on or about a year . Now im pregnant with a little boy . Im nervous but im excited to be a mom. His name is gonna be Tali Jaden Emil Shotwell . my baby`s dad doesn't know im pregnant and never will know . He is due in the summer
I love you, my babyI was 14 when I met my then boyfriend Jordan in the eighth grade and he was 16 and in the tenth grade. He was friends with my cousin, who introduced us at school and we became best buddies. Jordan was on the football team and I started going to all of his games. Before long, we started dating and started having sex three months into our relationship. Because he was first boyfriend and it was my time being sexually active, I was making sure he used a condom but he sometimes didn't because he said he hated wearing them. So we started using the pull-out method. We dated for a year and our families got really close with each other. After the summer ended, I found out I was pregnant after I realized my period didn't come on time. Jordan at first said he was too young to be a dad and asked me to get an abortion. I said no and we broke up, and I went home crying. A couple of days later, he said he was sorry and promised he would support me, and we got back together. Our families were really upset and, after all the crying and screaming, they said we had their support to raise the baby. I got bullied at school from kids who kept saying I ruined my life and I got pregnant to trap Jordan. So I began home-schooling and Jordan started working part time after school. Jordan was very supportive throughout my pregnancy and attended all of my doctor's appointments. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, whom we named Hayden after my older brother who died when I was a baby, on May 2, 2014. Instead of being happy, Jordan got really scared and distant, and he later said he couldn't do it after all. I was devastated and asked him why. He said seeing the baby being born made him realize how real it was and he wasn't ready to settle down, and said he was sorry before he left me and the baby in the hospital. I was more upset when I later found out he gave up his full rights and started pretending I didn't exist. His parents defended him by telling me he was too young to be a father and he had his whole life ahead of him. Still, they wanted to have the baby over at their house on weekends, but I refused. They threatened to have the baby taken away from me, but after a while, they moved on and never bothered to ask about Hayden. As much as I loved my baby, I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of being a mother and I couldn't do the things I wanted to do, and I felt guilty for relying on my parents for support. Every time I wanted to go somewhere, Hayden had to come with me and I started falling behind on my schoolwork. After four months, I decided to give him up for adoption and I gave him to an amazing couple who can give him the love and things he needs. Jordan and his parents knew about the adoption. Jordan didn't seem to care but his parents at first said they would stop it but never did. It was the hardest thing I ever did but I made the decision because I love my baby so much I want him to have the best life he can ever have and I wasn't able to give it to him. Its an open adoption, and I get to see him and get pictures of him all the time. I may not be raising him but I will always be his mom and I will love him forever.
The pregnant freshmanI had met Deon in November 2014 of my freshman year (I was 14 and he was 17) through his friends and we started talking right away. I was on the cheer tram high school at the time and the day we met was the day of the Thanksgiving pep rally, so I knew that he was watching, especially since Kiley and Shannon (friends of his and mine that also helped introduce me to him)were on the cheer team. He had also asked if me and him could hang out the next day (Thanksgiving) so he could meet my family. I agreed and I made sure that it was okay with my aunt, and she was surprisingly fine with it. After we came back from Thanksgiving break, I overheard someone saying that Deon ended up in rehab because he was on drugs. I haven't heard from him since then until April of 2015 when he decided to drop out of school. We had dated on and off for a month and we were sexually active. Then on June 12th, 2015, I found out I was pregnant with Deon's baby. I had found out that I'm having a girl and I decided to name her Valerie Scarlett. I'm excited to have her but I'm just so scared about if she would be born drug dependent because Deon only needed up in rehab for heroin and not the other drugs he's on. He's on cocaine, he smokes, he drinks, he's always out partying, I heard he's back on heroin again and he's been arrested twice. Me and him aren't together and he doesn't even know that I'm pregnant. Only his family, my family, friends and my principal, vice principals and adjustment counselor know about it. Hopefully I can switch schools for my junior and senior year of high school because Deon had decided to come back to school and I don't feel comfortable around him

Disabling the periodic repair lowered the per-node load by 100GB which was all dead data in my case.
What is the issue with your setup? Do you use TTLs or do you think its due to DeletedColumns? Was your intension to push the idea of removing localDeletionTime from DeletedColumn.updateDigest ?

Before I get to the story I'm posting on, here's a verrry interesting post showing how the New York Times edited a story on Sarah Palin's acceptance speech by removing the word "electrifying", to describe the speech, as well as to describe Obama pimping Hillary and other women to campaign for him in her wake.
And now a story in today's Wall Street Journal:
The moderate evangelical vote is slipping away from Barack Obama.
All year, Sen. Obama has worked hard to win evangelical voters…. At stake are about six million voters – moderate evangelicals who voted for George Bush last time but were intrigued by Sen. Obama….
Several things have battered Sen. Obama's standing with moderate evangelicals:
1) His poor performance at the Saddleback candidates forum, especially (or perhaps entirely) his comment about it being "above my pay grade" to know when life begins….
2) The selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, an appealing anti-abortion figure, and, the perceived attacks on her by the media, which led evangelicals to think the "elites" were against them. This sentiment has been skillfully stoked by the Republicans.
3) The Democrats' decision to run radio ads championing Sen. Obama's abortion-rights position without discussing his abortion-reduction agenda….
4) The Obama campaign's failure to combat effectively the charge that he opposed giving protection to infants who survive abortions. It's now become a standard part of the Republican litany that: Sen. Obama supports not only abortion, but also infanticide.
5) Quiet concern among evangelical leaders of faith-based groups that Sen. Obama's faith-based initiative would leave most faith-based groups in the cold because he wouldn't allow them to hire exclusively from their particular faith.
Read on for complaints by the pseudo-Christian Obama-supporting group, Matthew 25, that Palin's fabulous jabs at Obama during her acceptance speech were "un-Christian." Oh, brother.
