• Use an indirect map (not /net) to implement this
• Validate that the automount works by changing directory to the mount point and accessing the files in the share.
Perform the following steps:
1. Create/modify autofs service configuration files.
2. Reload the automounter.
3. Access the share.
31. Using ACLs to Grant and Limit Access
This lab uses users and groups created earlier on server X. If you do not
already have the users and groups defined, run lab-add-users on server X.
Graduate students need a collaborative directory titled /opt/research,
where they can store generated research results. Only members of the groups
profs and grads should be able to create new files in the directory, and new
files should have the following properties:
• The directory should be owned by user root.
• New files should be group owned by the group grads.
• Professors (members of the group profs) should automatically have read/write access to new files.
• Summer interns (members of the group interns) should automatically have read-only access to new files.
• Other users (not a member of groups profs, grads, or interns) should not be able to access the directory and its contents at all.

The only time where I felt that there might be something more to it was when Kagura was posing with his back to the sun, saying "back off, this is my bitch," and Amata was all "wtf, no." But that was a bit too vague, especially since Kagura showed no signs of recognition either. I suppose we'll see sooner or later. I'm pretty sure that there's a connection between the two so...

Mikono, she's a different case since so far she's the only one who clearly knows Kagura from somewhere else than Cayenne's vision.

Why does it feel more and more that I want Mikono to end up with Kagura? I mean sure I'm a HanaKana fanatic (Zessica episode next one aww yeah!), but still, more and more I'm more interested with what's up with Mikono/Kagura. Maybe because it has more mystery and/or they have this romeo/juliet vibe to them?
I mean, there IS a reason why their respective planets are named Altair (Hikoboshi - Kagura's planet) and Vega (Orihime - Mikono's planet), right? RIGHT? :grasping at straws:

i also prefer if apollo's reincarnation or kagura would stop with the stinky bitch statements. if silvia were to hear it, he would be six feet under right now. i prefer it if he refers to her as amazon but mikono is too delicate cause of the trauma from 12000 years of apollo's constant "amazon" references
but i guess the director of the show knows what will attract fangirls with the bad boyz in the anime.

@mayumi you must have a different translation, I haven't seen him call her "stinky bitch" at all. Only "smelly woman" and "my woman" Also he's already said "she stinks deliciously" so it's not really an insult when he says it and Apollo also called Silvia, stinky--idiot princess, amazon, among other things... and in the OVA he told her he'd never eat her because she'd taste rotten. Seriously I think some of you are making too much out of that
@Tenchi Hou Take--Aquarion is a Seinen not a Shounen it's target audience is adult males. Trust me if they could dissect a little kid, while he's still alive, they're not thinking about children
Basically the OAV compresses the entire season, some 26 Episodes into two OVA's that were 49 minutes each. It's an alternate reality but the plot doesn't stray that far from the Original Series. It basically had all the major plot points happen in different way. The biggest change was Reika, she's not an emo-oh-woe-is-me-I-am-a-useless-bad-luck-girl-who-brings-misfortune-down-on-everything-and-everyone-I-touch-character she was in the OS. The OVA gave Reika a shot of self esteem along with visions of her a past life (one she didn't have in the series) and she was believe to be Celiane but she was a "false wing"
Reika was a reincarnation of "Scorpius" the third pilot in the union with Apollonius and Celiane. In the series he's unnamed but it's heavily implied that Fudo is the third pilot in the Series---HOLY SHIT! Where did Fudo come from? He's not dead, is he from an alternate world...Like Altea. Now that I think about it, he arrived and left through what could be a dimension gate.
Anyhoo they remade the universe because one thing that is consistent--Aquarion actually destroys the world instead of saving it . They created a parallel Universe
Silvia didn't like Apollo because he was rude and untamed, he acted like an animal. She was a bro-con who spent most of the series in-love with her brother--so it's not like her feelings can't "shift" to Kagura
There is some reason why they're meeting is "forbidden" all the forbidden, oh-no-no things in this series has to do with Love and is connected to Apollon and Sylvie.
I believe that EVOL is a retelling of Apollonius' and Celiane's story, the begining of everything--but it's using a parallel universe to do so. Because the OVA can be considered a prequel.
I really think that KaguraxMikono pairing will prevail
More than likely Kagura will switch teams for Mikono. He thinks she's his mate (wolves mate for life..aww isn't that cute ).
Nah it's cool, if you don't. I like it when he says "you're my woman". I like possessive bastard tsundere characters.But he's saying that because he thinks she's "his" Apollo and Apollon told their lady-loves they would never forget her scent. He's marked her as his, because of that scent--he's drawn to it. He thinks she's his...(boy that was redundant )
Honestly... I feel the same way every time Amata goes "Mikono san...Mikono-san" he's starting to remind of me of Orihime and her "Kurosaki-Kun's"
It's his nature--he is savagely awesome, just like Apollo was in the OS. It's the nature of the beast, that causes him to act this. Apollo was just as cocky and never wanted to give up or accept defeat. He would try to do it alone and no matter what they said he did what he wanted--and he had to learn that he can't always do that. The hard way.
...Kagura is the same way
If he continues to chase her or appear where she is--I will be very happy. Apollo was like a stalker and he would follow Silvia everywhere because it felt "natural" for him to be with her.
More than likely we will see Kagura and Amata fight many many times before the series is over and Kagura will lose and come back again with some other weapon, if it follows the formula of the OS. It will be like "monster" of the week only the "monster of the week" will be the same monster from last week--a recurring character.

The very shows premise is about separating boys from girls for whatever reason and them combining to become "stronger" with some cock blocking about forbidden love. Clearly the fountain of maturity. It's like they combined standard shounen mecha with some Shoujo and this is what they got.

Are you under the impression that all these Anime shows you've been watching, the ones with tons of attention on forums and blogs, the ones that create memes from thin air, are aired during the day?
For a lack of a better term, these are all 'Otaku' shows target at older watchers, and they're all at night.
Gundam is an exception because it's a mainstream title.

I can't speak for every mecha in existence but all the anime I saw that had people dying all through them were all SEINEN
The plot is too heavy for young children. It's a SEINEN...
btw, in the 80's Gunda's target audience were ADULT MALES...they target younger ones now....

But for what it's worth, I finally know the source of Solar Aquarion's Ippatsu Gyakuten Punch on SRW Z2 Hakai Hen
That was awesome. Fudo said the lyrics of Sousei no Aquarion and Apollo-Sylvia-Reika start to sang the song too
And that dancing Solar Aquarion on the end of the video was great XD

You guys are being silly. I agree with Tenchi Hou Take about shounen like Naruto or Bleach showing death, but shows like K-On are the most inoffensive things in the world and K-On aired at 2 AM. It isn't strictly death or sex that decides when things air. No one messed up. Aquarion is being aired in a timeslot for otaku, because the producers feel that it would appeal to otaku. It probably isn't worth buying an expensive timeslot to have more kids watching it in their minds, since they probably don't think it will appeal to children.

Pasta with Tomatoes, Garlic, Basil, and Brie
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My mother made this pasta, which originated from the Silver Palate Cookbook, every summer while I was growing up. It was only recently that I rediscovered how wonderful a combination it is. Forget your pre-conceived notions of Brie and try this out before summer is over! —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 6 as a main course
Prep time: 8 hrs
Cook time: 15 min
pound Brie (triple cream if you can get it)
medium ripe-as-can-be tomatoes
medium cloves garlic
cup loosely packed basil leaves, cleaned and dried
cup plus 2 tablespoons excellent olive oil
dash Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper
pound curly pasta (I like cavatappi)
- Put the Brie in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up a little. This will make it easier to cut when the time comes.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes and put them in a large serving bowl. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the bowl. Chiffonade or roughly chop the basil and add that to the bowl too. Pour in the olive oil and add a generous amount of salt and pepper. Gently stir everything together.
- Once the Brie is firm enough, cut it into 1/2-inch cubes and add these to the bowl. Gently fold to combine the cheese with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for at least 2, and up to 8, hours -- the longer the better.
- When you are ready to eat, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just al dente. Strain it and tip it into the bowl with the sauce. Fold everything together until it is well combined, the Brie has begun to melt, and the pasta is slicked with cheese and tomato goodness. Serve immediately with a big green salad.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — An Oklahoma man who was put to death Tuesday evening despite claims that he was insane spent his final moments rambling about the presidential election and appeared startled when a prison official announced the start of the execution.
Garry Thomas Allen, 56, was executed for the 1986 killing of his fiancee, 24-year-old Lawanna Gail Titsworth, outside an Oklahoma City day care. His attorneys had argued that Allen shouldn't be put to death because he couldn't understand the judgment against him.
Allen appeared confused moments after prison officials lifted a curtain separating the death chamber from witnesses. Slurring his words, Allen spoke for two minutes in an address that mentioned both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. His execution was held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, one hour before polls closed in Oklahoma.
"Obama won two out of three counties," Allen said. "It's going to be a very close race."
At 6:02 p.m., a prison official announced that the execution was about to begin.
"What? Huh?" Allen said.
When the drugs began to flow, Allen grunted several times and wiggled his feet as the life slowly left him. He was pronounced dead at 6:10 p.m.
Titsworth had moved out of the home she shared with Allen and their two sons four days before her death. Allen confronted Titsworth outside the day care and shot her twice in the chest. She ran with a center employee toward the building, but Allen pushed the worker away, shoved Titsworth down some steps and shot her twice more in the back, according to court records.
Titsworth's sister-in-law, Susan Titsworth, issued a statement after the execution on behalf of the family.
"Our beloved Gail, daughter, sister and mother of two young boys, was taken from our family tragically and senselessly due to domestic violence," the statement said. "For over 25 years, we have waited for justice to be served and for this sentence to be carried out. We are thankful to close the book on this chapter today but we will never stop grieving the loss of Gail."
A police officer responding to a 911 call tussled with Allen before shooting him in the face, according to court documents. Allen was hospitalized for about two months with injuries to his face, left eye and brain.
Allen entered a blind guilty plea to first-degree murder, meaning he had not reached a plea deal with prosecutors and did not know what the sentence would be. A judge sentenced him to die.
Allen's attorneys argued he was not competent enough to enter the plea. They also contended he was mentally impaired when he killed Titsworth, that he had been self-medicating for a mental illness and that his mental condition became worse on death row. The U.S. Constitution forbids the execution of inmates who are insane or mentally incompetent.
A judge halted Allen's original May 19, 2005, execution after a psychological examination at the prison indicated Allen had mental problems. Three years later, a jury rejected Allen's claims he should not be put to death.
The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board had voted in April 2005 to recommend that Allen's death sentence be commuted to life without parole. That clemency recommendation wasn't acted on until this year, when Republican Gov. Mary Fallin denied it.

Telling a Good Employee Philanthropist Story: A Lesson from Microsoft
My colleague Katya Andresen shared this bit of inspiration amidst the doom and gloom economic news of late: Microsoft reports that 2011 was their most successful year in employee giving ever. Microsoft employees raised more than $100 million and logged more than 400,000 volunteer hours for more than 18,000 organizations globally. That's a lot of do-gooding!
While those results are impressive and I'm inspired by the impact, what spoke most to me about this news was the way Microsoft shared the results on the employee blog. Telling a compelling social impact story is vital. Press releases and reports are useful ways to broadcast news, but nothing beats the human touch of a story.
Kathleen Hogan and S. Somasegar, the executive co-chairs of the 2011 Giving Campaign, crafted a thoughtful, reflective post that conveyed the results, but also showcased the creativity and passion of their coworkers (or employee philanthropists, as they call them). You can't help but connect to the campaign when you see pictures of employees running 5ks for a cause or pranking their coworkers to inspire action.
I encourage you to read the full post here and think about how you can add that extra human element to your cause communications.
You can read the official press release here.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The owners of two NFL teams with ties to the same all-boys Arkansas parochial school announced Thursday they and an anonymous donor had pledged nearly $10 million to a school fundraising campaign that will pay for modernized classrooms, an updated athletic field and air conditioning.
San Francisco 49ers owner John York graduated from Little Rock's Catholic High School in 1967, and the sons of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Stephen and Jerry Jr., graduated in 1983 and 1988. Jones' son-in-law Shy Anderson graduated from Catholic High in 1981.
Principal Steve Straessle, who graduated with Jerry Jones Jr., said it's unusual for a school to have ties to two NFL team owners.
"No other high school in the country can say that," Straessle said in an interview before Jones' scheduled announcement to the school's juniors and seniors. "We not only infuse boys with a great love of sports, but we also imbue them with the creativity and the drive to not only become athletes but to become team owners."
Catholic High's campus was built in 1960. The school recently added an artificial turf sports field and all-weather track and updated its cafeteria and gymnasium. It will be fitted for air conditioning to help keep its computer equipment last longer, Straessle said.
Jones said his family's gift was a way to honor Monsignor George Tribou, a longtime principal who died in 2001.
"He was a mentor to my sons and also to me, and his commitment to educating and disciplining young men had a wonderful impact on several generations," said Jones, an Arkansas native. "His primary goals were always to build a better school while also building outstanding young men, and his legacy will be felt for as long as young men pass through these halls and feel his spirit."
York recently visited the campus and met with students.
"This capital campaign will help ensure that the same quality education and experience I received will be passed down to more generations to come," said York, co-chairman and owner of the 49ers. "Just being a part of the Catholic High history and tradition is an honor."
The installation of air conditioners does come with a cost to students. Currently, if the weather is hot and humid, classes are dismissed at 1:36 p.m. and students can attend without wearing ties. "As the building is fully-conditioned, we'll lose the reason for getting out early and not wearing ties," Straessle said.
The money is from the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Charities of Dallas and Denise and John York of San Francisco, along with the anonymous donor. Both the Jones and York families had made previous donations to the school.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Media tycoon Dan Diaconescu drives a white Rolls Royce, looks like a used car salesman in his shiny mauve jacket, promises to create thousands of jobs and has emerged as a key player in Romania's bitterly contested parliamentary election.
The owner of two television stations, Diaconescu's populist party is running third in Sunday's vote, according to polls. The gray-haired, multimillionaire talk show host from Romania's disenfranchised south appears to be tapping into widespread discontent with traditional political parties seen as arrogant, sniping and corrupt.
"People cling to me like I'm their only hope," the lanky 44-year-old said in an interview with The Associated Press this week, after driving six hours from the poor mining town of Targu Jiu, where he is running for a seat in Parliament. "They say I'm the one who'll save them from poverty, they ascribe to me qualities that I don t really have, or they consider me some sort of Messiah, a savior of Romania."
Even by Romanian standards, politics have been tumultuous this year. The impoverished Balkan nation has seen three prime ministers and Cabinets, huge anti-austerity protests, and a government criticized by the European Union and the United States for failing to respect the rule of law during a failed bid to impeach President Traian Basescu.
Many in the country of 19 million are fed up with a bitterly personal power struggle between Basescu and Prime Minister Victor Ponta, especially as the country remains one of the poorest and most corrupt members of the EU, and endures deep austerity cuts in return for a €20-million ($26-million) bailout to help its foundering economy.
Polls give Ponta's center-left governing coalition a comfortable 57 percent of the vote. But a fresh political crisis could break out after the election if, as threatened, the center-right Basescu refuses to nominate Ponta — whom he recently called "a pig," ''a compulsive liar" and a "little cat."
Diaconescu is frequently dismissed by mainstream politicians as an unsophisticated arriviste from the backward south, whose marathon talk shows on his OTV channel — with the slogan "Live Sensationally" — made him a star. But he has taken votes from both Basescu and Ponta, and will likely be a pivotal voice in the new Parliament. Basescu's allies are expected to rely on him for support.
He has earned admiration from everyday people as a sort of Romanian Oprah Winfrey, a man from a modest background who made good and hasn't forgotten his roots. Though he drives a luxury car, he has never fixed his crooked teeth and is very quiet about his personal life and assets.
"I like Diaconescu because he is pleasant and respectful to everyone whatever their class," said Lucia Popescu, who works as a security guard in Bucharest. "He thinks before he speaks, he is gentle and people have had enough of mudslinging all day long, on the TV and in the newspapers."
In a country where corruption is virtually a way of life, Diaconescu has not been immune to such allegations himself. Ponta accused Diaconescu of being a con man over his failed attempt to buy a chemical plant for €45 million ($59 million), saying the entrepreneur never had the money and that it was just a pre-election publicity stunt.
Diaconescu himself is under investigation for two fraud-related cases, for allegedly trying to blackmail a mayor to stop him airing damaging information, and for fraud in the chemical plant deal. He claims the charges were trumped up — and calls himself an outsider who understands business better than many in government.
Diaconescu, whose campaign is awash with his "lucky" color purple, promises to slash sales tax from 24 to 10 percent, create thousands of jobs and give €20,000 ($26,000) to budding entrepreneurs. He told the AP he would find the funds from public money that is currently siphoned off by corrupt officials.
"We believe that if this money is no longer stolen by our new political class, Romania would have 40 percent more, and here I' m talking about wages or pensions," he said.
His populist party, which was only created two years ago, is polling 15 percent, trailing just behind Basescu's allies, the Just Romania Alliance, a new grouping of center-right parties.
They are unpopular for past austerity measures and perceived cronyism.
"We work 15 hours a day for 1,000 lei (€225) a month, is that normal?" said Ioana Stoian, a 27-year-old vendor, wrapping a sweet cheese pastry. "Diaconescu will do something. They (politicians) do nothing apart from steal and fill their pockets."
But some wonder whether he can be anything more than a protest candidate.
Diaconescu's party emerged "due to the disappointment of the electorate and Romanian society toward unfulfilled promises made by President Basescu and governments," said Stelian Tanase. But he predicted the party might not have the staying power to last.

Against the Odds, Immune-Based Therapies for HIV Slog Along
February 2004

Industry "Leery"Despite more than two decades of research, there is as yet no approved immune-based therapy (IBT) for HIV infection. And while antiretrovirals continue to course through the developmental pipeline, relatively few potential immunologic interventions are dripping their way toward efficacy trials. This imbalance is partly due to an incomplete understanding of HIV's effects on the human immune system compared to our detailed knowledge of the viral life cycle. Absent this information, targets for IBTs are typically based on theories regarding pathogenesis and thus are susceptible to failure if a particular theory turns out to be incorrect. (By contrast, a new antiretroviral compound can be targeted to a well understood step in the HIV replication process.)
In addition, several IBTs (including Jonas Salk's ill-starred therapeutic vaccine candidate, Remune, and the bone marrow stimulant GM-CSF) have progressed to phase III efficacy trials but have failed to show clinical benefit, making industry leery of pursuing compounds that risk a similar fate. It is also difficult to assess the prospective market for IBT given that none is available, while there are years of accumulated data on the sales of antiretroviral drugs. Despite these problems, there are a variety of IBTs in development at the current time. Richard Jefferys prepared this IBT pipeline report for TAGline.
The advent of HAART has led to a resurgence of interest in therapeutic immunization, based on the idea that viral suppression and the attendant immune reconstitution may provide an opportunity to induce new and more effective T-cell responses targeting HIV. The primary goal of these products is to maintain better control of viral replication during HAART interruptions, thereby reducing dependence on drug therapy over the long term. Although this is certainly a desirable outcome, there is as yet no convincing human data showing that therapeutic immunization can improve control of viral load when HAART is withdrawn. Some researchers -- including French doyen of immunology Brigitte Autran -- are optimistic about the prospects for this approach, while many others remain profoundly skeptical. This area of IBT research has recently been invigorated by the involvement of two large pharmaceutical companies, Merck and GSK, who now have therapeutic vaccine candidates undergoing human testing.
Interleukin-2: Forgotten but Not GoneAnother category of IBTs is comprised of candidates intended to improve overall immune function as opposed to just HIV-specific immunity. The hardy perennial of this class of therapies is interleukin-2 (IL-2), which has been in trials since the mid-1980s. IL-2 belongs to a family of chemical messengers called cytokines that transmit signals between the cells of the immune system. Initially dubbed "T-cell growth factor" due its ability to induce T-cell proliferation, IL-2 is now understood to have more complex effects, including an unexpectedly important role in programmed T-cell death. Many studies have demonstrated that IL-2, administered either intravenously or subcutaneously, can increase peripheral blood CD4 T-cell counts in people with HIV infection. However, questions persist about the functionality of these IL-2-induced CD4 T cells, with one recent ACTG study finding that they did not appear to improve -- and may in some cases have diminished -- the response to a variety of routine vaccinations (such as hepatitis A vaccine -- see TAG's Basic Science Review, January/February 2003). Side effects such as fever, chills and malaise are also typically associated with IL-2 administration. Nevertheless, it remains possible that the CD4 T-cell increases associated with IL-2 therapy will lead to long term clinical benefit by delaying HIV-induced CD4 T-cell depletion, and this hypothesis is being investigated in two large clinical endpoint trials, SILCAAT and ESPRIT. Preliminary results from these trials should be available in 2005. An engineered and potentially less toxic form of IL-2 known as BAY 50-4798 is also under investigation in a phase I/II trial.
The New Interleukins: IL-7 and IL-15Studies are planned for two newer members of the cytokine family, IL-7 and IL-15. IL-7 studies in SIV-infected rhesus macaques have shown dramatic increases in peripheral blood CD4 and CD8 T-cell counts, without a concomitant increase in SIV replication. A phase I study is now in the works at the ACTG. IL-15 is a cytokine that can induce T-cell proliferation and enhance virus-specific CD8 T-cell responses in vitro and in rhesus macaques. Higher levels of IL-15 have also recently been associated with enhanced control of HIV viral load after treatment interruption in humans (see TAGline, November 2003). A pilot study of IL-15 administered to SIV-infected cynomolgus macaques was presented at the February 2004 Retrovirus Conference in San Francisco, with preliminary results indicating significant increases in CD8 T-cells counts. Analyses of IL-15's effect on viral load and SIV-specific immune responses are ongoing. Researchers at the ACTG are also hoping to move IL-15 into human trials in the near future.

LONDON (AP) — The British government has acknowledged that international relations were a factor in its decision not to hold a public inquiry into the death of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko — although it says that was not the decisive element.
Coroner Robert Owen, who is overseeing an inquest, had asked the government to hold a broad inquiry into the death of the KGB agent turned Kremlin critic, who died in London in 2006 after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210.
In Britain, coroners typically hold inquests in public to determine the facts about violent or unexpected deaths.
Lawyers for Litvinenko's family say he was working for Britain's intelligence services when he died, and that the Kremlin ordered his killing.
Britain accuses two Russians of the killing, but Moscow refuses to extradite them.
Owen said that unlike a coroner's inquest, an inquiry would be able to consider secret evidence to determine whether the Russian state was involved.
Last week Owen said the government had refused his request. In a letter published Friday, Home Secretary Theresa May spelled out her reasons, among them the financial cost.
She also said "it is true that international relations have been a factor in the government's decision-making."
"An inquest managed and run by an independent coroner is more readily explainable to some of our foreign partners, and the integrity of the process more readily grasped, than an inquiry, established by the government, under a chairman appointed by the Government, which has the power to see government material potentially relevant to their interests, in secret," May wrote.
"However this has not been a decisive factor and it if had stood alone would not have led the government to refuse an inquiry."
Litvinenko's widow Marina has accused Britain of putting relations with Russia ahead of uncovering the truth.

I was going through my fridges freezer when I came across some thin pork chops. I was wondering what to do with them and I thought that it had been a while since I had had tonkatsu.
is a Japanese style pork cutlet that is breaded with
panko bread crumbs
and deep fried. (I don't have a deep fryer so I normally shallow fry the pork in some oil in a pan.) I really like tonkatsu because it is nice a crispy on the outside and really juicy on the inside. It is great by itself and it is even better in tonkatsu sauce. (Yep, it has its own sauce.) Tonkatsu sauce is similar to a thick Worcestershire sauce. It is a pretty quick and easy dish. I normally have everything that I need on hand, other than the pork.
You should be able to find both the panko bread crumbs and the tonkatsu sauce at your local asian grocery store. I have the Bulldog brand of tonkatsu sauce.
Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)
- 1/4 cup flour
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 pork chops
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl
- Dredge the pork in the flour.
- Dip the pork in the egg.
- Cover the pork in panko.
- Fry the pork in oil until golden brown on both sides.

GPSolo Magazine - July/August 2006
The Zelinsky Code
Our plucky explorers were just about to uncover a secret that had been hidden away for centuries, one that, if revealed, would shake the very foundation of the legal profession. They had determined the seven-letter word that made up the combination necessary to open the ancient vessel's lock. The letters were lining up on the lock, and the last one clicked into place with a sound that would usher in a new day.
Our heroes in this story are two solo attorneys, Melissa Dorf, with a practice in a small town in northern Minnesota, and Jim Mayhere, who maintained a practice in a neighboring state. They had pursued their quest to crack the Zelinsky Code ever since they stumbled across the first clue more than nine years ago (I must humbly apologize to my loyal readers that I am not at liberty to reveal here this first clue and the circumstances of its discovery).
This is what led them to where they were now, in a cramped basement of the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House in Brooklyn, New York. Built in 1652, it is the oldest structure still standing in New York City.
I could go on about the fascinating details of how Ms. Dorf and Mr. Mayhere made their discovery and the incredible dangers they experienced along the way, but I would need far more space than has been allotted to me here by my Editor, though I am sure that if I took the trouble to do so one day, someone would turn it into a movie and I would make lots of money.
The only detail that I need to add now is that one Max Zelinsky, a local Dutch lawyer, took refuge in the Wyckoff House sometime in the late 1600s when control of the New York colony was being bounced back and forth between the Dutch and the English like a tennis ball at the U.S. Open. Max played a vital role in the early history of New York City, but that is a story for another time. What is important is that the Wyckoff House is where he hid his secret, which remained undiscovered for more than three centuries until found by our adventurous attorneys.
They slowly unscrolled the parchment from the vessel that had been hidden in a secret compartment in a basement wall of the Wyckoff House. In a script that clearly indicated that this was written a really long time ago, it said . . . something in Dutch, which they did not understand. They were quick to find a translator, which is remarkable even for a large city like New York because the message was written in an old form of Dutch not easily understood today, even by someone born speaking the language. Here is the translation of the message, which is not entirely precise owing to the difficulty of translating certain seventeenth-century Dutch colloquialisms:
Welcome my fellow lawyer, for that is what you must be to have followed my clues and determined the code to open its hiding place. What I document here and hide for a more tolerant and understanding generation is a belief considered heretical by the standards of my day: The concept of being a member of the legal profession and still having a life. [Note: The Dutch words used for this last phrase are untranslatable into English, so the translator did the best that she could.] What seems to be even more threatening to the legal community is that I have developed a method that a lawyer can use to create such a life. I just hinted at this one evening with some colleagues at a tavern (I confess that we had done our fair share of drinking by then), and they quickly reached for their pistols and daggers. And so I go to these extraordinary measures to keep my secret safe and hopefully pass it on to a future generation of lawyers that will be more receptive to its principles.
At this point I must interrupt because the measures that Zelinsky laid out were presented within a seventeenth-century context. What value is it to say, "Be sure to keep your horse well fed and have water for it available at all times"? However, there are modern corollaries that will do just as well, and in this case one can merely substitute "Take care of your staff."
So, without further ado, here, revised only as much as needed to be relevant to twenty-first-century lawyers, are the six principles by which lawyers can have their own lives, as were set down more that three centuries ago by a lawyer who surely was ahead of his time. They are followed by the best interpretations that can be given from Zelinsky's annotations, which followed in a somewhat random and confusing fashion.
I. Support first that cause which is the most important cause for any man.
In creating goals and direction in one's life, each person must start with his or her own goals and concerns first. You should be the first cause that you support, or else all others will be incomplete, no matter how noble.
II. Encourage the quiet inspirations that lodge in your heart.
Most people have made a lifetime habit of suppressing their dreams and aspirations. It takes a lot of work to pull out thoughts that were banished long ago for being impractical or immature. But they never go away. They are still there, waiting to be realized. If you feel that there is simply no opportunity to follow principles I and II, then read on to the principles that follow.
III. Reduce life to its simplest components.
This might be one of the toughest challenges for a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to see complexity and nuance in everything. But think of the benefits if you could reduce your complicated life to a set of simple goals and priorities. Life would be much more manageable. Most lawyers won't have a clue of where to start—which leads us to the next principle.
IV. Know what is important and what is not.
A person will often grow concerned and anxious about a situation, whether business or personal. How often has it happened that after some thought one realizes that all of this energy is directed at something that is not so important after all? Sometimes it takes a great personal tragedy for people to realize what is really important and what is not. But one doesn't have to wait for tragedy to gain this wisdom.
V. Keep the good; discard the bad.
Once you know what is important and what is not, if there are things in your life that are causing you grief that are not important to you, many times you can take measures to remove them from your life. A troubling client is one example. Lawyers may feel they must hold tightly onto every client, but after realizing that a pleasant day is more important than the income derived from a particularly bothersome client, then the decision to get rid of that client becomes an easy one.
VI. Foolishness has its place; sadly, lawyers are usually the last to know this.
Perhaps it is not wise to be silly in front of a judge, although that may not always be the case. However, one always should have some foolishness in one's life and maintain the ability to laugh at oneself. Even kings had court jesters. Do not wear that serious lawyer's face all of the time. Don't always attempt to be logical. And remember to get foolish not just with children but with adults as well. You'll find the world a happier place if you do.
After reading these principles, Ms. Dorf and Mr. Mayhere took them to heart. Ms. Dorf has reduced her hours at her law practice and is now running for public office. Mr. Mayhere has made more time in his day to take care of a favorite elderly aunt who lives nearby.
For those of you who wondered what the seven-letter word combination was that opened the lock, it is a word that every lawyer should know, as it forms the core of what every lawyer does in his or her practice: "service."

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. feedlot owners increased the number of cattle added to herds in September by more than twice the amount analysts forecast, a government report said, as lower grain costs signaled improved profitability. Placements into herds totaled 2.025 million head, up 1 percent from 2.004 million in September 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. Analysts expected a 0.4 percent increase, according to 10 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Through yesterday, the price of corn, the main livestock-feed ingredient, declined 42 percent in the past 12 months. "Some folks have been able to take advantage of cheaper grains," Elaine Johnson, an analyst at Cattlehedging.com in Westminster, Colorado, said in an interview before the report. "Profitability improvements have encouraged higher placements. People are looking to put some cattle in." The total feedlot herd on Oct. 1 was 10.144 million head, down 7.7 percent from 10.989 million a year earlier, the USDA said. Analysts in the Bloomberg survey expected a 7.5 percent drop. Sales of cattle to slaughterhouses last month totaled 1.695 million head, compared with 1.598 million a year earlier, according to USDA. Analysts expected marketings of 1.66 million. Feedlot operators typically buy 1-year-old cattle that weight 500 pounds (227 kilograms) to 800 pounds, called feeders, which are fattened on corn until they weigh about 1,300 pounds and are sold to meatpackers. --Editors: Steve Stroth, Brendan Murray To contact the reporter on this story: Elizabeth Campbell in Chicago at email@example.com To contact the editor responsible for this story: Steve Stroth at email@example.com Back to news

Smartphones today are good enough and easy enough
If we go back a few years to 2006 and asked 2006 Kevin the question "who are smartphones best for?", I would have answered differently than I would today. Smartphones weren't easy. They weren't exactly user-friendly, and had a steep learning curve to unlocking their full potential. Apps had to be downloaded on a computer and synced over a cable, regular restarts and resets weren't uncommon, and you needed a removable battery not just for quick power, but also to yank it out when things went awry. The technology wasn't there yet, hardware or software.
In the past few years, things have changed. Dramatically. We have smartphones that are faster, longer-lasting, more durable, beautiful, thinner, lighter, and loaded with sensors that always know what's going on around them. Software is more powerful and far easier to use, surfacing what the user needs while hiding away what they don't need to see.
Seven years ago, my answer would have encompassed mobile business people and those that needed to connect to the then nascent mobile web. Today, it's simple: everybody.
Smartphones today are powerful and easy that the average person can get enough use out of them to justify owning one. They're for the jet-setting business traveler, the college student, and the grandparent.
We can all benefit from smartphones. They've put information quickly and easily at our fingertips. Smartphones make let us stay constantly connected in text, voice, and even face-to-face. They predict our needs and tell us what we need to know before we need to know it.
Smartphones record our lives, be it through writing or drawing or photos or motion data. They help us capture moments on the fly, document what we need to keep, and remind us of the things we need to do. They track how we move and where we go, and if you want, can tell us how to get there.
The hidden complexity of smartphones has helped to reduce the complexity in our own lives.
The hidden complexity of smartphones has helped to reduce the complexity in our own lives. No longer do we need to carry a physical address book and day planner, a camera and an MP3 player. We don't need to keep a dedicated GPS navigator in our cars nor do we need to sit down in front of a computer to access the internet. The smartphone does all of this and so much more.
I can't think of anybody that can't get some benefit from owning a smartphone.

Manchester police investigate two store robberies
MANCHESTER — Police are investigating two store robberies Monday in which there are some similarities.The first robbery, at about 4 a.m. was at the Cumberland Farms on Hanover Street. The robber was described as a white or Hispanic male, 18 to 20 years old, wearing gray cargo-style sweatpants, a gray, hooded sweatshirt, a red jacket with paint stains and brown shoes. The robber also had a black T-shirt covering his face.The clerk said the robber had his left hand wrapped in a T-shirt, and although the robber made no mention of a weapon, the clerk was unsure whether there was a weapon in the wrapped hand.The second robbery was at approximately 5 p.m. at Title Loans, 223 S. Willow St. That robber was described as a white male, 18 to 25 years old, approximately 5-foot-9, with a medium build.The robber was wearing a black Northface fleece jacket, without a hood, and a black baseball hat with a flat brim. The victim could not describe the rest of the robber's clothing.No weapon was displayed, but the robber kept one hand in his coat pocket, holding it in a manner to suggest he had a weapon.Detectives are investigating the two robberies and a police spokesman said Tuesday that they were not able to immediately rule out a connection between the two robberies.

Symptoms of SchizophreniaSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Schizophrenia has unusual symptoms. If you are not familiar with them, they may seem frightening. Below is a description of these symptoms.
Paranoid thinking
Some people with schizophrenia have frightening thoughts and hear threatening voices. This causes them to act afraid or to argue with other people. Sometimes they attack other people or objects in their surroundings because they are afraid of them.
Catatonic behavior
Catatonic behavior is rare. It can cause odd behaviors such as:
- Sitting or standing in unusual positions (posturing).
- Allowing another person to move one's arms and legs into different positions (waxy flexibility).
- Sitting without moving for long periods of time (stupor).
- Being very active but with no purpose (catatonic excitement). During these episodes of intense activity, people with catatonic schizophrenia may injure themselves or other people.
Disorganized speech and behaviors
Disorganized symptoms in schizophrenia are rare. But if you have disorganized speech or behaviors, they may be the most noticeable or unsettling symptoms that you have. People who have these symptoms may have unpredictable behaviors.
They may act silly and giggle for no apparent reason. They often make up words and sentences that make no sense to other people. And they often don't show facial expressions.
Examples of disorganized speech include:
- Making up words (neologisms). For example: "I'm going to the park to ride the wallywhoop."
- Rhyming words (clang speech). For example: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, folly, polly, dolly, hello Dolly, want a lollipop?"
- Saying sentences that make no sense to other people (word salad). For example: "Give paper floor me school hop bus."
- Repeating exactly what someone else has said (echolalia).
Examples of disorganized behavior include:
- Repeating the same activity (word or behavior) over and over again (perseveration).
- Repeating exactly what someone else has done (echopraxia).
- Dressing oddly, such as wearing many sets of clothing one over the other or wearing hats, gloves, and heavy coats in the summer.
- Doing things in public that are usually done only in private. Urinating on a street corner is an example.

I'm happy to see you here :-) Are you going to create an Italian page, like http://userbase.kde.org/Translation_Workflow/Italian? I think it would be a good idea, and also a good example to others.
Thanks! :) Yes sure, I can do it. It's only a matter of 'copy and paste' with few minor changes.

Randy Neugebauer took a step this week toward fulfilling a campaign promise and trying to finish something he started in his first term as U.S. House of Representative for the Texas 19th District.
Since winning a special election to fill the seat formerly held by Larry Combest, almost two years ago, Neugebauer has championed a better crop insurance plan. He first introduced his Risk Management Enhancement Act in June 2004, but could not get the bill considered before adjournment.
He reintroduced the bill this week and says the program would provide additional risk management tools and reduce the need for ad-hoc disaster payments. Additional protection against widespread drought and storm losses would be available for a relatively small increase in premium.
"I was encouraged by the positive response my crop insurance bill received from other members of Congress as well from West Texas and big country farmers," Neugebauer said. "Because of this response and because drought and other disasters are not one time occurrences, it makes sense to push for enhanced crop insurance options for our farmers."
Neugebauer's proposal builds additional risk protection into crop insurance by allowing farmers to stack Group Risk Protection (GRP) coverage on top of an individual Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) policy.
Farmers can choose to purchase GRP coverage up to the deductible portion of the individual policy, not to exceed 100 percent.
Congress has passed more than $30 billion in emergency assistance packages in recent years to help producers who have suffered substantial crop loss. This includes $2.8 billion in disaster assistance that Congress passed in November 2004. The enhanced insurance coverage in Neugebauer's legislation would help reduce the need for such packages in the future.
"We are seeing now more than ever the effects tight budgets can have on agriculture," Neugebauer said. "By providing better crop insurance, we can make producers less dependent on a political process that can be very unpredictable."
The Texas Cotton Producers Association and American Cotton Producers have endorsed Neugebauer's legislation.

Your recruiting today determines the health of your unit tomorrow.
- Based on: Youth Members and Orient Parents
While recruiting should happen every day, your spring recruiting is the most important. By joining in the spring, new Scouts will be able to go to Camp this year. Your summertime calendar is packed full of trips, events, and camping. The spring roundup invariably is when you will also find some of your best new leaders.
Your fall recruiting event is important too. This is when you get another chance to recruit the ones you missed in the spring.
It is your program and your upcoming calendar that will sell them on Scouting. Make sure that your calendar is planned months or ideally a year in advance and stocked full of great events. Make sure to include all of the council and district events you can. Prepare a simplified, one-page calendar for recruiting. The most important sales flier you have is your busy calendar.
Your other tool will be a good recruiting flier. Your district executive can provide the recruitment fliers and posters.
Don't forget how flexible we are. If they miss a sports practice, they may not be able to play in the game. One of the best things about Scouting is how flexible we are. You can miss meetings or even a season and still be welcome in Scouts.
Find Your Prospect
Prospect will rarely come to you. You have to be pro-active and invite them, often several times.
- The first group to invite are the friends of your existing Scouts. Ask each Scout to invite at least two friends and their families to the orientation meeting. Referrals are your best prospects. If his buddies join, your existing Scout is more likely to stay in too. Especially for younger Scouts, show them the Recruiter Strip they can earn.
- Also ask your chartered organization to take your fliers to youth that they know. Have your Scouts go to their meeting and show your charter organization all that you will be doing. Make sure to include your community service.
- Ask your committee to each take your recruiting fliers to their other organizations including: PTO, Religious Organizations, Sunday Schools, confirmation classes, sports teams, Lions Clubs, Rotary, etc.
- Articles in your local paper about activities can be a great sales tool. A paper may let you include details of you upcoming orientation at the end of the article.
- Finally, youth from the community can sometimes be reached by announcements through area schools. Your district executive should have contacts with school administrators.
Promoting the Orientation
Attendance at the orientation meeting is very important. Don't call the meeting a "Sign-up" as this can scare off new prospects. Don't use jargon like "Roundup" as this too will scare off prospects. Call it an "Orientation".
Some ideas for promoting the orientation include:
- Your district will help you with Informational flayers. You have to have something to send home.
- Ask each Scout to give fliers to two friends and their families to the orientation meeting.
- Have Boy Talks in the schools on the day of the meeting, school open houses, and posters in schools.
- Your District has Radio & TV Public Service Announcements you can use.
- Call your list of prospects who have not joined in the past.
- Promote the orientation at area churches, playgrounds, and parks
Use your resources and brainstorm other ideas.
Conducting the Orientation
Hold the sign-up at the location where the unit will meet or at their school. Make it a brief, upbeat, and well-planned rally. The group presentation should take no more than a few minutes. Don't talk about the past.
As they come in, pass out applications, fliers, and your calendar. Ask everyone to fill out the forms. Have plenty of pens.
- Have them sign a sheet with Name & Phone information for everyone who attends.
- Don't be talking in a click among yourselves. Have a leader walk each prospect to a table and help them.
Open the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and very BRIEF remarks.
- Introduce your leaders.
- Let the Scouts tell about what they have coming up on their calendars: trips, camping, Summer Camp, etc.
- End the group meeting in a few minutes.
Unit leaders now fan out to meet with families one-on-one to answer questions.
- Register new youth members. Explain what they need to know one-on-one. Don't overwhelm them. "Do you have any questions?"
- Have unit t-shirts available as a gift or at a small cost. If they leave in your t-shirt, they will come back.
- Scouts with involved parents stay in Scouts. As you meet one-on-one with families, you need to recruit adults to at least help.
- Provide light refreshments such as punch and granola bars.
- Announce the unit's next meeting date. Better still have an orientation event already scheduled.
Make follow-up calls:
- Call everyone who signed up to again welcome them and confirm information.
- Call everyone who did not sign up in a few days and see if they have any questions. If they are not ready can you call them again in a week?
- Call your prospects again in a week. People often need to be asked several times.
- Call prospect again just before your next orientation. The ones you missed last time are the best prospects next time.
In the case of Venturing-age youth
- Have each youth complete the Venturing Activity Interest Survey.
- Brainstorm with youth their ideas that might not be on the survey.
- Review the potential for crew program based on the Program Capability Inventory and the chartered organization.

Yet, we just can't accept the return of the Hawaiian shirt, this summer's slob-chic must-have. It's like someone covered themselves in wallpaper paste, tore the pages out of a tattoo catalogue and rolled around in the scraps, off their nut on umbrella-wearing cocktails.
But who are we to judge the fashion gods? We've pooled together ten of our favourite offerings from the likes of ASOS and Ben Sherman, ranging from the blindingly garish to more subtle, understated prints if you're feeling a little less daring but still want to be on-trend when the heatwave finally kicks in.
So grab your hula skirts and piña coladas and dive into the gallery above for our pick of this year's best Hawaiian shirts.
While you're at it, have a listen to our short 60's summer playlist below. It's sure to instil some sunshine-surfing spirit in you even if the clouds outside your window are stubbornly grey!

I knew it! I personally would have rather seen a modern Fett repainted Vintage style.
I'll never own a real original, and this has subtle differences in the sculpt, and so with that I'm happy to add it as almost something that was missing from my vintage set that I just had resigned myself to never actually being able to afford.
and to me, it's just as legit as one of the custom ones that are out there in the vintage world.

Editors: Jack Sanders and Katie Terezakis (College of Liberal Arts)
Engaging Agnes Heller
Editor: Katie Terezakis
RIT scholars Jack Sanders and Katie Terezakis celebrate the Budapest School of philosophy, a group of thinkers whose work exerts a major influence on contemporary philosophical, sociological and political thought. Soul and Form is the centennial edition of the first book by György Lukács, the founder of the Budapest School and a leading Marxist theorist and cultural critic. Sanders and Terezakis have added critical essays to this edition. In Engaging Agnes Heller, Terezakis presents essays by scholars on the work of Heller, the leading thinker of the Budapest School after Lukács, and an active philosopher who teaches in Europe and the Americas. Both books examine key insights of the Budapest School and pursue its impact on contemporary thought, politics and culture.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli watchdog group on Thursday accused the government of taking steps to legalize four unauthorized settlement outposts in the West Bank, days before the U.S. secretary of state is set to arrive on a new peace mission.
The government announced its move this week in a filing to the Supreme Court, threatening to cast a shadow over Secretary John Kerry's visit. Kerry has been shuttling between Israel and the Palestinians in recent months in hopes of restarting peace talks.
Negotiations have been frozen for the past four years, in large part because of Palestinian opposition to Israeli settlement construction on occupied lands. The Palestinians say there is no point in negotiating while Israel continues to settle its citizens in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war and claimed by the Palestinians for their future state.
More than 500,000 Israelis now live in Jewish settlements, which are considered illegal or illegitimate by the international community. Several thousand settlers live in unauthorized outposts that Israel has promised to dismantle.
The anti-settlement monitoring group Peace Now has been pushing the government to carry out pledges made years ago to evacuate six unauthorized outposts.
In its latest response, the government indicated it is now looking into ways to legalize four of the communities: Maaleh Rehavam, Haroeh, Givat Assaf and Mitzpeh Lachish.
In the case of Haroeh, for example, it said Israel's defense minister had ordered officials to explore whether the outpost was built on "state land," potentially clearing the way for its legalization.
Peace Now interpreted the government's response as a declaration of intentions to legalize the tiny communities, which are home to several dozen settler families.
"The government is trying to avoid the enforcement of the law and to legalize the outposts instead of evicting them," said Hagit Ofran, a Peace Now spokeswoman. She called the move "a slap in the face" to Kerry.
She said the Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing on the matter for next week, though it is unclear when there will be a ruling.
Israel's Defense Ministry, which oversees policy in the West Bank, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office both declined comment. U.S. officials had no immediate comment.
But the Palestinian foreign minister, Riyad Malki, said the Palestinians "will not stand silent" if Israel legalizes the outposts.
"We will resort to the United Nations. We will ask the U.N. Security Council to discuss this and take the needed measures," he said.
Over Israel's objections, the Palestinians last September won upgraded observer status at the United Nations. Since then, they have repeatedly threatened to use their upgraded status to seek admission to additional U.N. bodies, such as the International Criminal Court, and push for international legal action against Israel.
Kerry is scheduled to arrive early next week in hopes of finding a formula to relaunch the first substantive peace talks since late 2008. The U.S. has repeatedly criticized both Israeli settlement activity as well as Palestinian threats to pursue international legal action against Israel as being unhelpful.
Jewish settlers began building outposts in the 1990s to sidestep an Israeli commitment to stop building new settlements. Today there are dozens of unauthorized outposts, in addition to about 120 full-fledged settlements across the West Bank.
Critics say the government has been quietly complicit in building the outposts, linking many of them to the Israeli electric grid and building roads for them.
A decade ago, Israel pledged to take down about two dozen unauthorized outposts, but it has done little to carry out its promise.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. won't "accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity."
"Continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace," she told reporters. "An independent Palestine must be viable, with real borders that have to be drawn."
Psaki said it was important that both sides now take action to build trust and confidence.
"This is difficult," Psaki said. "And we're not underestimating that, the challenge of moving this path forward, but we've seen from both sides an openness to continuing the discussion."


text: USC is the lone early offer for DB Desmond Cain (5-11 183) of Delray Beach, FL and that has put the Gamecocks at this top of his list at this point. "I was there for their (Black Magic) camp and I fell in love with everything," Cain said. "I like the coaches and how they helped me with the little things to become a better player. And I love the facilities." That was the only camp for Cain last summer. He is also getting interest from Miami, Auburn, Minnesota, Penn State and Michigan and feels Miami will be the next to offer. "They are showing a lot of interest," he said. This weekend Cain will be in Orlando to watch USC take on Central Florida. He's not planning to make a final decision until the beginning of his senior season but right now USC is the team to beat. "USC leads," he said. "Me and coach (Grady) Brown have a real good chemistry." Cain plays safety and corner and is being recruited as a corner. He didn't play much defensive as a sophomore working mostly at receiver. He is playing full time both ways this season.

Hi. I have a gorgeous unspayed Cavalier that I was wondering if I should breed. I know all about the costs/etc. of breeding (my aunt bred seeing eye dogs). ....... I am going to have her evaluated for genetic problems and "visually" she looks perfect...... but I am having trouble finding out whether Cavaliers are harder to "birth" than other breeds. I know some breeds are usually born by cesarian section. How hard are Cavaliers to breed? Are they a very risky breed during pregnancy/birth? I would like to know all the facts before I even consider entering seriously into this.

Book Review
Bust a Move
Buster Keaton: Tempest in a Flat Hat
Buster Keaton's classic independent films from the '20s weren't merely ahead of their time. They were ahead of our time. Keaton created 10 classic feature-length films and 19 shorts filled with eye-popping effects and acrobatics that can't and won't ever be imitated with anything approaching his sense of visual and comedic style. These films are silent. They're black and white. Yet they somehow look like products of the 21st century.
Roger Ebert called Keaton "arguably the best actor-director in the history of the movies," but even that praise is too humble to do justice to Keaton's accomplishments. In the age before the studio system contaminated Hollywood filmmaking forever, Buster compiled his own crack team of film professionals to invent his movies. They ate, drank, smoked and dreamed their films upwards of 18 hours per day. Even though Keaton often didn't take much credit for his own contributions, it's clear from subsequent accounts of the process that he not only accomplished the lion's share of acting and directing but also often came up with plots, created the gags, designed the sets, did the stunts and developed the astonishing cinematic effects that continue to make his films such a pleasure to watch.
Edward McPherson is a writer living in New York. This is his first book. He doesn't have any special expertise that would make him an ideal candidate for authoring a book on Buster Keaton, but he is quite obviously a smitten fan, and that should be enough.
His introduction contains one of the book's finest moments, revealing McPherson's unabashed adoration for his subject. For research, he's decided to attend a Buster Keaton convention in Michigan. People have come from all over the country, and many of them are out and out freaks of nature, the sort of people who've memorized Keaton's hat size (6 7/8), who sport Buster tattoos on their backs, who've gotten married at Buster-specific locations. You know, real wackos.
McPherson isn't quite that far gone, but he expresses an extraordinary amount of empathy for these people. He doesn't know Keaton's hat size, but he can understand how someone would love this stone-faced clown so much they'd want to know such seemingly trivial details.
So, with that in mind, this isn't exactly a detailed work of cinematic scholarship. McPherson has done his research. He's read the right books. He's included the endnotes that any book of nonfiction needs to be taken seriously. But he hasn't made any attempt to write a definitive biography. As he says in his introduction, the book is merely a fan's note written in appreciation for one of the finest artistic talents of the 20th century.
We should be thankful that the subject matter is so infinitely entertaining, because McPherson's writing is often ham-handed. He struggles to nail down Keaton's visual poetry by incorporating bizarre italicized descriptions in the second person of classic scenes from some of the comedian's most famous films. These descriptions are awkward and largely pointless.
When he isn't adopting such pretentious gimmicks, McPherson does a decent job of describing individual films, but the really juicy bits in the book are the biographical details he's compiled, largely from other books, many of which are currently out of print. He does a good job, for example, of covering Keaton's days as a young vaudeville star, his dad's violent alcoholism, his family's efforts to circumvent child labor laws, and the early stirrings of comedic genius evident in Keaton's preadolescent gags at the expense of his friends, family and random strangers. (Some of these pranks are so elaborate they're difficult to believe. The machinery Keaton created to make all four walls of an outhouse collapse, exposing the occupant, pants down, squatting over the hole, is one particularly devious example.)
In 1917, Keaton finally busted into the movies. That year the comedian Fatty Arbuckle hired him to collaborate on a series of two-reel comedies. From there, Keaton quickly springboarded into international stardom. It's amazing the free reign he had to make movies exactly the way he wanted through most of the '20s. It's just as remarkable how his talent was crushed once he signed with MGM and had to begin making films inside the hyper-restrictive corporate studio system.
In the early '30s, Keaton's career tanked, along with his marriage and his relationship to his children. These are the dark years of alcoholism and sanitariums. It's unbelievably depressing stuff, but it makes for a great read.
Thankfully, Keaton eventually managed to pull himself out of his cycle of self-destruction and rebuild his life. He never played starring roles in big budget films again, but he had a second career in television and small bits in films that lasted all the way up to his death in 1966.
McPherson isn't a great writer, but Buster Keaton: Tempest in a Flat Hat is entertaining, and he does succeed in explaining Keaton's continuing appeal to modern viewers. In film as in life, the acrobatic little clown persevered through crisis after crisis to eventually emerge triumphant. This endurance is what made Keaton so endearing, both as a fictional character and as a real person. From the very first film, he had a way of making the impossible look as simple as breathing.

Contact? Check! - A - At the Pyramounts of Madness
The first part of the Synchromystic trilogy: "Contact? Check!". Part A investigates the idea posited in Ralph Ellis', "K2: Quest of the Gods," that the Great Pyramid and K2 have a unique affinity. We also stop to view Arnold Schwarzenegger's synchromystic connections to future solar Kingship and Mars. This is just the tip of the pyramount my friends, check out Part B, soon!
Much related info and thanks:
Etemenanki: Stargate Cipher 2012
Etemenanki: The Lucifer Time Code
Suggested reading:
Ralph Ellis
Thoth: Architect of the Universe

Some excellent fiction works that have influenced my mind on this subject:
Iain M. Banks
Excession (Contact with Higher Intelligence)

Arnold has been pushing to be able to run for Prez. for a while now...
Something tells me it would require some event to open the doors for him...although I guess when we merge with Canada & Mexico...all bets are off and he could likely become President.
- Jake Kotze said...
I know nothing about politics, I would like to keep it that way. The syncs however are alarmingly strong with Arnold... 2012 Sun King? Personally I think we all become our own Kings and Queens at that point. Who knows how this weird universe will play its cards, it's so much fun to participate! It will be surprising, that much I am confident about.
- soundlessdawn said...
Ahh the Amero. They may as well put Arnold's face on it. Total Recall has always resonated strongly with me as the terraforming of Mars as well as a past civilization once occupying the planet are indeed strong possibilities, the latter perhaps finally solving the mysteries of the pyramids as Hoagland's research would suggest.
On a longer timescale, and with the technology of the near future (in perhaps 250-500 years), an artificial magnetosphere seems possible.. and we most likely already have human bases on Mars.. with the amount of unaccounted for (trillions of dollars) in the black NASA budget, that go conveniently missing every year.. and the findings of men like Gary McKinnon.. who uncovered documents referring to 'off world' officers.
And although we tend to focus our attention to the 'face' on Mars.. I think we should really delve furthur into research concerning the 'ass' on Mercury.
Hey Jake,
Wicked - as usual.
Whistling to your K2 theme I note the following...K = 11. 11 x 2 = 22. Also, by typical reduction...1 + 1 = 2. So 'K2' and therefore 'Paramount' = 22
There are 22 stars in the Paramount Studio Logo!
Also, to my ear, 22 is 'ZZ', which is the Noise (NOIZ) of Zion: namely, an electrical hum, or the humming of Beez.
In harmony with Steve Wilner...See Steves comment on F23's Through The Looking Glass: 'Starman, Part III' (posted Sep. 24), where he pairs the pyra-mid with the notion of a world power grid.
Peace Owt.

Thanks Wwwiz. Paramount indeed is mentioned in part 2, or is it 3? I forget.
Yo Soundless, hope your feeling better good sir, thanks for commenting folks.
- hoi polloi said...
Jake, Orion apears quite a bit in the Aronofsky film The Fountain. I believe it was a representation of the underworld to ancient Egyptians and seems to have something to do with life after death...possibly reincarnation? Could this be the purpose of the pyramids?
- Jake Kotze said...
Possibly the purpose of the pyramids in the Pharaoh and priestly class belief systems, yes indeed. Continued today by Freemasons and the like. I don't think however that these groups have the vaguest idea where they come from or what they are intended for. This is poker and I am calling there bluff. The Noah ark, 2001 monolith, Vault of Enoch and Atlantis (Pillars are pyramids!) mythos are the best fragments extent of an explanation for their existence. If you blend all those stories together while thinking of Giza (under a full moon on acid, maybe..) you'll get close, or get where I am going...
Either way the Pyramid explanation ends up disappearing into the quantum foam state or some sci:fi scenario, there is just no reasonable explanation. They are Schrodingers' cat! (see cover of RAW book for more details, note the checkerboard and Jupiter). Until we learn to open the box....

China, Scotland team up for wind energy
June 26, 2013 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
BEIJING, June 26 (UPI) — Scottish leadership in renewable resources and China's growing demand for energy makes them natural partners, a visiting Scottish minister said in Beijing.
Scottish energy company SgurrEnergy signed a two-year deal to serve as an adviser to the Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute on its design for China's offshore Zhukai wind farm.
Scottish Minister for External Affairs Humza Yousaf praised the company for its strong record in complementary developments in China, which is working to establish a low-carbon economy.
"It is another positive step forward in strengthening Sino-Scottish links and confirming Scotland's reputation as a global leader in the development of renewable energy," he said in a statement Tuesday in Beijing.
China Daily reports the government aims to increase the installed capacity of wind energy from 5 gigawatts in 2015 to 30 gigawatts in 2020. The report adds wind development offshore China is in its infancy because of construction difficulties, though wind patterns are considered conducive to renewable energy.
Scotland, for its part, aims to generate 100 percent of its electricity needs through renewable energy resources by 2020.

We recently opened a new building with a Varitrac system; we're trying to learn how to configure some things and what we need to tell people about using it. The installer gave us a quick walkthrough (the proverbial drinking from a fire hose). When we can get ourselves coordinated, we might go back to him with these and other questions, but figured I'd try to get some input from here first.
There are seven zones. One night we had a meeting there in one room. I checked the system status beforehand -- all zones were unoccupied and the readings looked appropriate. I went up to the zone we were using, hit the occupied button, and set a temperature. When I rechecked the status, I was surprised to see that ALL zones were shown as "Occupied Bypass" and were trying to heat to their various setpoints. (By the way, what's the definition of "Occupied Bypass"? Is "Occupied" set according to schedules and "O B" set when someone hits the button during an unoccupied timeframe?) This didn't make sense to me. We wanted heat only in one zone. Is it supposed to work this way? I tried a few things but couldn't figure out a way to heat only one zone, other than going around to all the other thumbwheels and setting them lower.
Later a thought occurred -- we do have one simple schedule set up. To support this, we have one group with all the zones in it. Is it possible that because we have this group, that all zones react to one zone being occupied? That still doesn't make sense to me, but I figured I'd test it. However, when I went to remove the members from the group, I didn't have that action available. I could only add members. So how the heck do I remove them? Do I need to do this from the PC interface? (I haven't installed the software there yet.)
I wouldn't be surprised if I need to provide more details -- just direct me on what's missing. Thanks for any insight on this.
