Traveling around the world is probably everyone's dream but not many have such luck. The reason is not everyone can afford it. Using solutions like Option Robot to ensure more income could take you closer to your goal.
by Peter Nash, Sydney, Australia
Some historical background: prior to the Communist take-over in September 1949, Shanghai was a cosmopolitan city with three independent sectors: the French Concession, the International Settlement and the Chinese Municipality of Greater Shanghai which included Hongkew where most of the Jewish refugees either lived after arrival circa 1938 to 1940 or were forced to live from 1943. The Chinese Municipality was the largest, but the International Settlement was the city's commercial and industrial centre, also the trading port with fashionable clubs, hotels and consulates and … a constant ebb and flow of political intrigue forming a part of world politics. Its ruling body was the Shanghai Municipal Council, a citizen group which in reality was controlled by British interests. Its law enforcement arm, the Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP), included Chinese, Indian, Russian and Japanese officers, but the most senior officers were British. As a centre of political activity, Shanghai was a natural target for intelligence operations by several powers, particularly Russian, Chinese, Japanese and also key western countries.
I first heard of the existence of the SMP files from an article in the International Review of Jewish Genealogy publication Avotaynu1. I also came across a chapter in "The Jews of China"2 by Marcia R Ristaino (Historian and Senior Chinese Acquisations Specialist at the Library of Congress, Washington DC) in which she describes the background to the SMP files – also see her book "Port of Last Resort"3. The files cover the period 1894-1949 and are housed at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA II] in College Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. They are a collection of Shanghai Municipal Police investigation files used for intelligence gathering by British agencies. Following the attack on Pearl Harbour by Japan in December 1941 and their subsequent military control of Shanghai, the Japanese left the collection of files intact and apparently only removed reports on Japanese personalities. The eventual transfer of the files in 1949 just prior to the Communist take-over, from the Nationalist Chinese to American Strategic Services officers based in Shanghai (forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency) is a hair-raising story in itself. When the files were hurriedly loaded on board an American warship, some of the boxes fell into the Whangpoo River; others were damaged when the ship transporting them ran into a typhoon. Luckily most of the files safely reached Japan, and eventually the United States.
My interest was sparked by the potential genealogical data relevant to the 20,000 Central European Jewish refugees and an estimated 10,000 Russian and Sephardic Jews that resided in Shanghai in the 1938 to 1945+ period. So my planned visit to Washington DC in July 2003 for an International Jewish Genealogy Conference included some time to access these files. I was not prepared for the vast amount of files containing astonishing reports for all kinds of citizens as well as various lists of Jewish residents.
I was confronted with the daunting task of deciding which of about 67 microfilm rolls and about 120 archival boxes to order from an off-site central storage, also allowing for one to two days retrieval time. Some files exist only on film and others only on paper and some on film and paper. Fortunately a finding aid was created and published: M1750, which describes briefly the nature of the contents of the files in the Records of the SMP covering the period 1849-1949 – otherwise known as the Central Intelligence Agency Record Group 263. It must be added that the collection also contains 'Related Records' such as records from Tsingtao – a naval port north of Shanghai (now Qingdao).
With the help of John Taylor, Archivist in the Military Records Division of NARA II, I viewed the Pamphlet describing the contents of M1750 (obtainable from the Publications Division at NARA I in Washington DC). M1750 has about 180 pages and 3500 files which are described in mundane, mysterious and also tantalising ways, for example
"Report on a substance supposed to be varnish"; "Report of purchase of Royale typewriter"; "Periodical service corporation advertising for salesgirls"; "Confession of Chulkoff"; "Raids on communist bases"; "Murder in the French Concession of a Korean"; "Arrival of Soviet agent"; "Rumours re sudden death of Mrs. V. Kolotinsky"; "H.E. Duldner – Austrian Jew", "Central European Jews, arrival in Shanghai, list of professions … immigration certificates and endorsement of identification"; and so on …..
In order to maximize my limited time I decided to access files for the period of 1940-1945 and requested Box 117 containing a Folder with the intriguing title: "Re letter submitted by Mr. Kahan, Headmaster of Shanghai Jewish School" – my former headmaster and school! Its contents? Figures 1,1a
"The undersigned begs to support that the petitioner Mr. Kahan is the headmaster of the Shanghai Jewish School, No. 544 Seymour Road. The programme is as per attached and contains nothing objectionable. It will start at about 3 p.m. on March 21, 1943 and end about 6 p.m. Approximately 400 persons will attend. No admission fee is charged. There is no objection to the approval of this letter – signed (not legible) D.S., Officer-in-Charge, Special Branch (District Superintendent?)".
The attachments to Mr. Kahan's letter include a Program of Prize distribution ("for good work during 1942") and entertainment to be held at the SJS on the day of the Purim holiday. The attachments describing the entertainment included
– the story of Purim with the full play and characters (by Form III and IV pupils) typed out in English and also written out in Hebrew (!)
– a gymnastic number
– musical numbers on piano and cello: "Pop goes the weasel", "Twinkle, twinkle little star" and "Old King Cole"(!!!)
Very nostalgic, rivetting and fascinating! Especially as such an 'important' investigative file is part of the Military Records Division of NARA, housed in a building, funded by the tax-paying citizens of the United States!
The box I chose also contained a very thick SMP file labelled "Jewish Affairs". What a mine of amazing information this was! Virtually all Reports (in English and typed!) came from the Foreign Affairs Section of the SMP including for example as follows:
29 March 1943: Extracts from the Shanghai Jewish Chronicle concerning Shanghai Ashkenazi Collaborating Relief Association (SACRA.) and Joint Administrative Committee (JAC) including the names of the SACRA and JAC committees.
7 April 1943: Affiliation of the Jewish (sic) Gemeinde to SACRA – with names and addresses of executive members, names of delegates to JAC, matters relating to the 18 February 1943 Proclamation (re-settlement in the Designated Area], etc.
22 May 1943: Stateless Refugees – Removal to the Designated Area. "In connection with the removal of the Stateless Refugees into the Designated Area it can be stated that the majority, about 90%, have now moved into the area or together with the persons who were already residents of the area, there are at present not less than 13,600 stateless refugees, of whom about 6,600 moved into the area and about 7,000 lived inside the area". Figures 2, 2a
The file then gives statistics of special circumstances for prolongation before moving; the steps required for obtaining Special Passes to leave the Designated Area; the problems with Polish refugees (Mir Yeshiva?) not wishing to move into the Salvation Army Shelter at 630 Muirhead Road.
12 June 1943: "Rooms sold by SACRA in the Yuhang Road School (the former Chinese Middle School) for availability to refugees – with details of number of rooms, sizes, chargeable rent, repair liabilities, etc." The Report also covers the refugee problems of income earning and housing – and their dissatisfaction with SACRA's attitude to their problems. Opinions are also expressed on alleged profiteering by the Russian Jews from the refugees.
12 June 1943: Financial Conditions of Refugee Families
21 July 1943: Report on SACRA Meeting of Supporters at the Shanghai Jewish Club on 20 July 1943. Comment included: "Dr. A.J. Cohn (Chairman) … thanking first of all Mr. T. Kubota (Director-General of the Shanghai Stateless Refugee Bureau) and Mr. Kano for their attendance … "; "A. Oppenheim spoke about … the Charity Section … the Kitchen Fund is supporting over 4,000 persons with one loaf of bread (9ozs) and one hot meal … The Kitchen Fund requires $ 800,000 every month, but can raise only … $ 500,000"; "… although already twice stated by Mr. Kubota that the Proclamation is not an anti-semitic measure, none of the Jews believe this statement and believe that the restrictions against the Jews have been made through the influence of the Nanking Government… ".
11 August 1943: Report on "The Situation of Refugees after the Start and Segregation on Aug 10 1943" – describes the plight of refugees when their limited resources run out and the need to obtain passes to leave the Designated Area ('Ghetto'). Also highlights the problems of refugees having entered the 'Ghetto' then wishing to leave it.
20 December 1943: Letter from SACRA – "The Relief Committee of SACRA hereby applies for permission to make a collection of old clothing during Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 26, 27, 28. This clothing is intended for distribution among the poorer classes of Refugees living at present in the Designated Area. The collection will be made by seven groups of young men and girls, who will call on the dates specified at the homes of Jewish families in the First and Eighth Districts, in accordance with lists attached hereto. No collection whatsoever will be made on the streets. … Trusting that this permit will be granted …". This is followed by : "In view of the good purpose of the collection … there is no … Police objection." Figures 3, 3a, 3b, 3c
The attached List of Collectors contains the names of the thirty 'young men and girls' and the List of Jewish Families to be Visited contains over 500 family names and their addresses. All the families named seem to be from the Russian Ashkenazi community living in the French District. This is exceptional data as other databases, such as the re-produced Emigranten Adressbuch (November 1938), the 1943-1944 Gross-Hongkew Census (re-produced on CD-ROM and attached to the book 'Exil-Shanghai 1938-1947' by Armbrüster, Kohlstruck and Mühlberger and the Shanghai HIAS Lists as featured in the article "Lost Shanghailanders" on the Rickshaw website, virtually only include the Central European refugees.
8 January 1944: "Notification from the Shanghai Refugee Bureau – All persons whose special passes have recently be (sic) confiscated by Police Headquarters, have to appear to-day, … at 10 a.m. in the office of Mr Ghoya, Room 4. The above refers to special passes which were taken from persons detained in connection with a raid on the Central Arcade district, held on Dec. 28th, 1943. The number special passes detained was 47." What a frightening experience this must have been for these refugees – to be hauled in front of Mr. Ghoya – the self-proclaimed King of the Jews!!! Figure 4
10 January 1944: "Renewal of Blue Special Passes – Through the S'hai Jewish Chronicle of Jan 9th, 1944, the Shanghai Stateless Refugee Affairs Bureau informs that it will begin renewing blue special passes which will expire on Feb. 10th, 1944. They form the majority of passes issued and number over 2000 passes… a change of profession for the … special pass is not admissable, and persons doing so are to be punished according to circumstances … professions such as salesmen, representative, manager or agent are considered as of dubious nature if more than two destinations are to be reached or if longer working hours are demanded." Lists with about 80 names of Blue and Pink Pass holders are attached showing address, age, nationality and profession.
March 1944: A file with Investigation Reports from the Wayside (Police) Station contained the complete biography of 24 Jewish refugees and some of their family members with vital data such as birth date and where born, how and when arrived in Shanghai, ID's held, life history (in short) educational standard reached, language skills, vocations before and in Shanghai, income status, etc. Figure 5
The final section of the one-page Report is titled "Comment and Remarks" (of the Investigating Officer) and is the punch line. It is more or less the same in context for each Report, for example,
"He and his wife came to the Barcelona Cafe at about 9 p.m. on the 18th of March and were on the Ist floor. His wife was playing cards "RUMMY" with two of her sisters in law (named). He himself was looking at the game. Owing to the fact that his brother (named) is the partner of the Barcelona Cafe he stated that it is cheaper to go to the Cafe then to be at home, moreover so, because of light control. The play was not for money."
"At about 8.30 p.m. on the 16th of March he and his brother who invited him, proceeded to the Barcelona Cafe for tea. At about 9.30 p.m. the authorities arrived, when his brother was detained and the Resident Certificate was confiscated from him and he was allowed later to proceed to his home."
So – what was their offence? Nothing. However the "authorities" tried to nail them with something. The biggest 'positive' is the vast amount of family history existing in these reports – albeit for only a few of the refugees.
11 June 1945 (Zang Zoh Police Station – Special Branch) (after Germany's surrender to the Allies in Europe): Rumours Among Jewish Refugees – "In the last few days information received directly from Jewish circles has shown that Jewish refugees are expecting to be released from the designated area in Hongkew. These rumours are very interesting and according to the Jews there are many signs in the political world which show plans are being made for the release of Jewish refugees from the designated area. Some Jewish circles in the city have said that an article has appeared in the local Japanese paper in which it was said that the Jewish refugees in the designated area are behaving very well and a hint was given about the liquidation of the designated area. It is one of many signs by which the Jews think that they will be released from the designated area."
18 July 1945 (the day after the never-to-be-forgotten heavy US bombing in the Hongkew District]: Markets – "Under impression of July 17 bombings prices on share markets went down about 20% …. Reaction about the enemy bombings is difficult to describe at present. Certainly there is much pent-up anger at the Americans whose conduct is considered wanton and unnecessary, to say the least …"
19 July 1945: Air Raids July 17 and 18 – " The foreign community is particularly stirred by the bombings of part of the Jewish District, up to now thought to be 'bomb-proof'. One hopes that a quick report by Red Cross and by local 'Joint' and/or Jewish Community will be sent out to Switzerland so that the US Govt may learn about the outrages perpetrated on July 17 … For today, 19th, the majority of local foreigners looks forward to another "lunch music", meaning bombings …"
A discourse is then given on further likely air raids, the consequent rise and influx of Chinese refugees, the political future of Japan, the breakdown of administrative control, etc.
As indicated earlier my primary interest was genealogy-related data. Box 79 under File 8263/2 contained a 'List of German Refugees who arrived in Shanghai since 1937'. About 950 refugees were registered with the Zang Zoh Police Station and are not listed alphabetically but in groups by their street address – all addresses being in the French Concession. Clearly most of these refugees were forced to move to the Designated Area in Hongkew (the Shanghai Ghetto area) after the February 1943 Proclamation of the Designated Area. The list also includes date of birth, occupation and date of arrival in Shanghai.
File 8263/2 also contained a second list titled 'List of German Nationals Residing in Shanghai' numbering about 2,300 persons including some, but not many, Jewish Refugees – the exact number cannot be estimated as Refugee status is not given nor any other vital data. Also given were street addresses, all apparently in the French Concession.
The SMP and/or the Japanese military representatives scoured all the Jewish newspapers, were represented at official meetings, interviewed (interrogated?) refugees in public places, were always sniffing out possible connections and implications with and against themselves and their allies – Germany, Russia, etc – and their enemies – Britain, United States, etc.
Related Records: These include Microfilms of Registration Certificates of the Russian Emigrants Committee (a quasi-official body representing Russian interests) for 1944-45 and of Tsingtao Registration Cards for 1946-1949. The latter include biographical data of Russian and Central European Jews, sometimes with photos. However I did not have time to view these records.
The Shanghai and Tsingtao Municipal Police Records are a historian's smorgasbord as well as an extremely valuable resource for genealogical research. All documents were de-classified and as five minute copy time limits are imposed I only managed to copy 100 sheets, a fraction of the collection.

I've been getting some emails from filmmakers wondering when they can expect their reviews, seeing as some of them sent me their films over a month ago. Here's the default answer.
Basically, I've been pretty sick since about 1 July, battling a case of mono coupled with two (yes, two) occurrences of a particular nasty brand of strep throat. As you might imagine, this has pretty much sapped me of much of my strength and energy, so after I get done stuff that absolutely has to be done, I pretty much just crash on the couch.
When reviewing for the uber-indie project, I try to watch the films at least twice and avoid situations where I just rush through the review itself, because the filmmakers deserve better than that. But, I have trouble watching stuff I'm going to review when I feel shitty, as I tend to hate everything in those situations.
If it makes everyone feel better, I haven't really been watching any movies this summer. I have, however, fallen asleep on the couch during many a re-run of Seinfeld.
Add to that the fact that I'm moving at the end of the month, so some of the DVDs are packed already.
But, never fear. I haven't forgotten about your film. I will still review it. It may just take me a couple of weeks to catch up now that I'm starting to feel like something close to healthy.

Dawn on Cottesloe Beach. Am I more calm than last year? Most definitely so. Am I more confident? Probably so. Am I going to carry on asking and answering my own questions? Probably not.
One year later, 12 months closer to the channel. In February 2013 it all seemed so exciting and so far away. February 2014, and I was only 19 weeks from the channel. Still excited but also mighty scared.
Conditions were better than last year; no 30-40 km winds and sideways rain on the preceding evening… the days leading up to the race had foretold nothing but wonderful conditions.
Found my paddler and boat quicker than last year: Nicki in the paddle saddle, Scottie and Captain Paul on the boat. It was a great swim: strong start middle and finish. One significant lesson learned: if you make up a mixture of milo, maltodxtrin and water the day before and its about 28-30 degrees, be sure to keep it chilled, or maybe keep the powder and make it up when you needed. At the first feed I noticed it tasted funny… a bit like milk that'd gone over; by the third or fourth I was pretty sure I'd worked it out: milo contains milk solids, that becomes milk liquids and that goes sour. But it was all I had to nourish me so I just took a dose of HTFU with my feeds. I went hard for the last 5 km and felt really good, coming in at 6h25m18s, 26 minutes quicker than last year… really happy! As you can see from my photo. The old guy behind me is Gerd Von Dincklage-Schulinburg, the first ever person to swim Rottnest Channel in 1956!
But suddenly its 13 weeks to go! Since Rotto I've been gradually increasing the distance again; last week I swam 38km (my hips and shoulders felt like I've been beaten with a lead pipe!) and the distances are probably only going to get greater. But massage cures many things and I'm fighting fit once again!
Just need to focus on not getting sick: regular massages and stretching, eat well and try to maintain and gain weight; my weight is fluctuating somewhat and while I lost 3.5 kg in 4 weeks I seem to be on top of it and gaining once more! Hooray! I love a sport where you try to get fat!
Apart from a brief period of illness when half of the squad were struck down with chlorine pneumonitis, I'm doing alright. A new chemical concoction at Vic Park pool led to an accumulation of chlorine on the surface of the pool and one anaerobic threshold set later I needed a course steroids, an inhaler and a few days rest!
The ocean is amazing at the moment: on dark morning swims the water sparkles with phosphorescence… thousands of tiny sparks of light with every stroke and kick. Amazing… but waaaaaaay too warm! It must still be 20-22 degrees. At least there's Melbourne cold water camp to look forward to and maybe a quick trip to Lake Jindabyne for a bit more cold water, then my last 8 hour swim (coincidentally on my birthday!)
As I'm getting close to the swim now its time to start tapping you, friends, neighbours, colleagues, fellow swimmers and strangers to donate to Alzheimer's Australia: a great charity for a devastating disease that robs people of their memories, their families, their dignity, their lives…

The best thing happened today. I dropped into my favourite stamping store (Stampit in East Vic Park) and they had a sale on Prima and Ki Creations - 50% off it all! I was like a kid in a candy shop and stocked up on all the Prima Flowers and Pebbles that I wanted. You can be sure to see a lot more of those in the future, starting today!
I made a card for my Mum's birthday but I wasn't completely happy with the way it turned out. I had to look to the internet for inspiration as I was suffering from brain burnout. I'll post the card I designed at a later date, but for now here is the card I was inspired to make:
The colours are much bright in real life but that's what bad lighting and bad photography will do.
The card that inspired me to make this is from Ivanka's Card Studio.
Cardstock: Basic Black, So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake and Shimmery White.
Ink: Stazon Black.
Stamps: Curly Cute.
Other: Big shot machine, Vintage wallpaper embossing folder, dimensionals, mini glue dots.
Non Stampin' Up: Flowers (Prima Flowers - Raspberry), Blue rhinestones (BoBunny Jewels - Barefoot & Bliss).
Tips and Tricks:
1. This card is pretty straight forward - simple layers and the shimmery white card is dry embossed with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder.
2. The flowers are adhered to the card with mini glue dots.
3. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.
Stuff Ups:
1. The sentiment took me ages today because I couldn't stamp it perfectly so I kept redoing it, then I'd get it right but cut it crooked and have to start over. Sooo frustrating!
2. I tried using basic black ink but it kept bleeding through the cardstock. Stazon gives a much crisper result, however, it does stain your stamp.
3. I need to buy new blades for my paper trimmer so the layers are a bit straggly around the edges.

The beach is cake for everyone to celebrate life.
Isla Reta is a great getaway for friends, family or just you and your lover. The beach is not overcrowded hence the limited bungalows and cottages. Isla Reta is a fine beach, in the morning, the twinkling waters greet you with a bright day and blue, seafoam green, bright yellow takes place. There are many fishes in Isla Reta, I would assume that the beach is preserved and taken care of. The trash doesn't go in the water, it goes where it should stay, trash bins.
If you bring Goggles, then the fishy experience will be fun.
Isla Reta is limited. There is a long rope which you shouldn't cross thus boats cross on that path and there are no life guards.
There are grilling stations in Isla Reta but some people cook their food at home or buy food at stores or you can actually order at Isla Reta's mini restaurant. I prefer to use the grill, fresh, juicy and good meals make up my day!
On sundays, Isla Reta is usually crowded (but not as crowded as noise pollution). There are no videoke bars in the resort which I think is awesome. They play music but if you stay at the not so crowded spot then its only the sea you'll hear.
Weekdays is the most peaceful week in Isla Reta. If you want to unwind, relax and feel the warmth of the sun then come to Isla Reta, Talicud Island IGACOS, Davao City, Philippines.
The lantsa or mini-boat to reach Isla Reta is located at Magsaysay Wharf. The fee is 80 pesos per person (it already comes with the resort's entrance fee). Each individual should have 200 pesos for the back and forth fee. The boat will dock at magsaysay wharf at 8 a.m. then set sails at 9 a.m. or sometimes 10 a.m. but it depends, some Filipinos are always late on schedules (very very late).
here are some shots last 2011 on a Friday and Saturday:
me and my boyfriend. Yes it was only the two of us in this shenanigan. lol
inside our rented room in the resort. Don't expect the rooms to be luxurious. You can stay at tents anyway, whatever you want just as long as you pay the Overnight fee.
This is the most peaceful spot in Isla Reta.
The tables and chairs don't have a price. We rented a room but the beach was closer in this spot. Sheff relaxes in the afternoon while I was busy taking pictures of the scenery.
Fishermen selling fresh caught fish. Of course it isn't pricey unlike in the wet market or at the mall.
Past 5. The sun sets down, the cold breeze, the beach whispers like a lullaby.
Morning Glory!
Buko Juice for lunch. It is seldom sold here. We were fortunate to have bought the last two coconuts lol
think green, green, greeeen. green tinted sixties mind lol
because I know how to float! haha!
About to go back home.
on the Lantsa or mini-boat. oh you could see how deep the water is lol
All aboard!!!
Some sunset shots with my watermark. If you're going back home at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, You'd see this along the way.
here are some recent shots of 2012. It was on a Sunday which means, everybody's day off:
For lunch. Chicken Breasts fillet, marinated with herbs, spices and soy sauce. grilled in open flame ^^ It wasn't over-cooked, it was awesome, very tender and juicy.
for Lunch too. Veggie Kebabs as side dish. Those white cubes aren't tofu actually they're sweet potatoes. Not a good idea to cook them on an open flame it takes hours and hours haha! so we decided to cast out the sweet potatoes. cast out lol
BTS in my Maillot swimwear shoot. using 80-200 mm f/2.8 nikkor lens.
Just relaxing.
I think the only fair looking picture of us lol
Here are some shots by Sheff de Leon (a trainee of mine in Freelance Photography) for the Isla de Luna maillot shoot:
Thanks for the time! It's more fun in the beach, I'd say.

Kildy's 3 R's – Recap-Review-Rant – True Blood Season 4 Ep 1
June 29, 2011 Leave a comment
She's Not There – Season Premier
Hi, this is something new I'm going to be trying. I'll be doing a weekly recap of each episode of True Blood this season. A couple of things you should know . . . First, this is a recap, it is meant to be read AFTER you watch the episode so it will definitely have spoilers in it. Second, I have never read the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, so I won't be referencing them. Now . . . let's jump right in shall we.
'I Wanna Do Bad Things With You.' This is when I start doing my happy excited dance in my chair at 'Battlestation Kildare' (Suzy named it . . . you'd almost have to have been there). Unfortunately it's also where I keep my head turned for most of the intro. I have a weak stomach and if you've ever seen the intro for True Blood then you know it has a few really gross parts in it. That's okay at least I have a great song to grove to while I wait.
'Umm yeah okay', those were pretty much my only thoughts during the first eight to ten minutes of the Season Premier of True Blood. I'm not a big fan of the whole Sookie in faerie land thing although the fact that faeries weren't just these beautiful ethereal beings and instead look a little more like hobgoblins was cool. It kind of explains Sookie's gap teeth. Yeah that was tacky but I couldn't help myself.
Sookie meets her 'Grandaddy' Earl in faerie land and being blonde she somehow thinks that telling him telepathically that they need to get out of there, all the other mind reading faeries won't hear it. Yeah that was a brilliant move there, Sook. Enter Queen Mab and we learn that they are harvesting all the human faerie hybrids before closing off the portal to faerie forever. In a crazy chase scene we see how powerful the power beams coming out of their hands can actually be and we meet Mab's brother who doesn't want the rift permanently closed. Before Mab can close the rift 'Grandaddy' Earl grabs Sookie and they fall through the portal returning to our plain. The whole thing played like bad sci-fi from the 60's or 70's. During the chase scene I was vaguely reminded of Logan's Run for some reason.
Not surprisingly you see Eric and Bill's eyes pop open in their coffins the second Sookie lands back on earth. She gets to suffer through the death of another relative, since 'grandaddy' had eaten the light fruit in faerie land he couldn't be there. She drags him over to the family plot and he leaves her a little proof of where she was in the form of a pocket watch before he turns into faerie dust himself. At this point in the show my excitement about the new season is starting to wane. Really . . . with the faerie land stuff . . . it did nothing for me, and watching Sookie cry about another dead relative, maybe I'm just a heartless bitch but, it just wasn't moving me.
I guessed even before we saw Sookie's renovated house that she was gone for much longer than it seemed to her. I understand the reason for this jump, after all the first three seasons of True Blood all occur in the span of like weeks and they want their characters in a different place now. But I still couldn't help feeling that the show was cheapened by using such a blatant common tv ploy to move the story along. Again I understand the reason for it and it's going to be fun discovering how the residents of Bon Temps ended up where they are now, but I was feeling a little disappointed at this point.
It was daylight when Sookie returned so she has time to see her brother and learn that a year has passed. Jason is now a real deputy, looking and behaving much more with it and together than I've ever seen him before. It was funny to see the rolls reversed when Andy Balfour arrives and we learn that Andy is now the V addict and Jason is the one actually using his head for a change. Andy's angry rant fills us in a little more on how the town reacted to her disappearance and all the man hours that were invested in trying to find her. Of course everyone believed Bill had killed her.
Speaking of . . . Bill and Eric arrive at practically the same time the minute the sun goes down. Eric claims he's the only one who didn't give up on her. I guessed even before the big reveal near the end of the episode that Bill was now King of Louisiana by the way Eric obeyed him when Bill told him to leave. Bill helps Sookie out with an explanation for Andy of where she was for the past year. 'Vampire business' was the only explanation Andy got and an offer to pay for all the time and expense that was put in to the search for her. If you hadn't guessed Bill's elevation by Eric's submission than this was another big clue. Sookie tells Bill that to her it was just a few hours ago when he broke her heart but she seems a little upset when he puts up no argument and leaves.
Now we finally get to the fun part . . . seeing what's been happening with everyone else in Bon Temps and the episode gets better. Lafayette (my personal favorite on the show) is sporting a 'fro Mohawk and the same outrageous flair. He hasn't had a vision in ten months and Jesus is dragging him to another 'witchy' kind of thing that he is reluctant to go to. He agrees to five minutes, ten if they got 'dranks' and they enter a building where 'old air-fresheners go to die'. The waitress who tried to help Arlene last season (her name escapes me at the moment) is in the coven and greets them and then we are introduced to who I believe will be the villainess of the season, Marnie.
Besides Marnie and the 'waitress' they spend a lot of time showing us another strawberry blonde witch with glasses. We learn at the end of the episode why the camera men made sure we remembered her face when we learn she is a spy in the coven for Bill, and we hear him addressed as 'your majesty' for the first time. Still like to see just how he beat Sophie Ann. I'm sure we'll see it eventually, or at least the end of it.
We get to see Arlene next and maybe I'm just a sick bitch but I couldn't help but laugh when she enters the house and finds her new baby, Mikey, sitting on the floor surrounded by decapitated Barbi dolls. Arlene's ready to have kittens but Terry assures her that all normal little boys pull the heads off of dolls. She picks up the baby and reminds him that killing is wrong. If he wasn't born with the predisposition to be a serial killer she is going to make him one.
Then we head to New Orleans where we find Tara fighting in a caged ring against another equally hot female and I'm thinking, 'okay, she's finally worked out a way to release all of that anger'. It skips over almost immediately to Jessica and Hoyt where we see what anyone would have expected. The honeymoon is over. The ridiculousness of their argument eventually makes them both laugh and it seems that maybe the love hasn't been destroyed completely . . . yet. I mean this is Bon Temps. I always thought the Jessica/Hoyt romance was sweet and I'm rooting for these two, but I'm almost positive this is all going to be destroyed by the end of the season. I hope they prove me wrong. They mention during the fight that Hoyt's mother did make an attempt on Jessica's life. We saw her buying a shot gun at the end of Season 3. I would have liked to have seen that exchange but maybe we will eventually.
Sookie is a little mad that Jason sold her house but she's going to find out who bought it and see if she can't give them the money back. By this time I've already guessed it was Eric who bought it, but we don't learn that until the end of the episode. FINALLY we get to see Pam (my second favorite character on the show) her dry and unemotional sarcasm as she films a PSA to 'reassure the human public' that vampire businesses are perfectly safe for humans is brilliant. Pam thinks it's idiotic that the AVL believes the public is naïve enough to buy into all this, and I laughed out loud when Nan Flanders shoots back that she has scientific proof that people are far dumber than they realize. LOL. Sorry couldn't help myself.
Eric does the PSA right (or at least the way Ms. Flanders wants it done) and the show takes us back and forth between Eric and Bill each giving speeches. It is not lost on any one that Eric is being portrayed here as the handsome trustworthy business owner while Bill is being portrayed as a politician. I'm sure I'm committing some kind of True Blood blasphemy here, but . . . meh on both of them, BRING ON ALCIDE PLEASE. Eric is kind of sexy, I wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating crackers. I have NO attraction to Bill at all, but Alcide, ummm okay yeah back to the recap.
Oh wow Tara's a lesbian now. I wasn't expecting that, but somehow I'm not surprised, not after what she's been through. She also has her anger issues under control, seems the cage matches are working. The old Tara would have ripped the balls off the lush propositioning her and her girlfriend, with her bare hands. Oh and her girlfriend keeps calling her Toni. I know they are giving Tara a chance to grow and get over all the crap she's been through, but it just doesn't seem like the same show to me without her behind the bar at Merlotte's being her grouchy opinionated self. I'm sure she'll be back in Bon Temps soon, however.
Sookie goes back to Merlotte's, and Lafayette tells her that Tara is gone. When Lafayette goes back to the kitchen Jesus shows up and tells him that he's running away from the thing that makes him special by running away from magic, but Andy shows up and runs Jesus off. Andy demands Lafayette sell him some V and Jason shows up just in time and proves that he is all up on proper police procedure now.
Finally we learn that Sam didn't actually kill Tommy, of course it wouldn't have really upset me if he had. He is being babied and taken care of by Hoyt's mother, I'm not even sure I want to know how that happened. Sam asks him how the physical therapy he is paying for is going and Tommy declares he's going to need a few more months. 'How's that anger management class going?' Tommy shoots back. 'Might need to go more often.' Sam replies tossing a towel onto the bar. I couldn't help but laugh out loud here. I prefer my comedy understated and subtle like this, so to me that was a brilliant little scene.
It wouldn't be True Blood without a sex scene so we are treated to a hot little scene between Tara (Toni) and her new girl, but they are interupted when she gets the text from Lafayette that Sookie has returned. She tells her girlfriend that there's been a death in her family, but she'll just send flowers.
Sookie is trying to find out who bought her house and the lawyer she hire's is a pretty little brunette we saw earlier at Bill's speech. Sookie reads her mind and learns that she knows Bill and that he has hardly mentioned Sookie during the past year.
We skip back to Fangtasia, and Jessica doing a sexy little dance out on the floor while Hoyt watches from the bar. A 'fang banger' tries to hit on her and she realizes she would desperately love to eat him. She escapes to the bathroom and yay more Pam. 'Toilets are for humans only, do I need to explain why.' I love her. She tells Jess that the 'tree with the plaid shirt seems sweet if you're into that sort of thing', but she knows Jessica wants more.
Now to Sam who is meeting with his 'anger management' group. They all agree that their anger is a primal thing and then they decide to move past the wine they've all been swilling. I already guessed they were all shape shifters, like Sam, so I wasn't surprised when they all started to strip down for the change. I was surprised to see them exit through the forest as a herd of horses though. I had expected all their preferred shapes, Sam's dog and then whatever the other's usually changed in to. I don't know exactly why but it just felt a little hokey to me. The entire scene did really the horses just topped it off.
Jason takes food to Hot Shot, which he has apparently been doing for the entire year, but for some reason this time they knock him on the head and lock him in a deep freeze. I'm not really into this whole Hot Shot storyline really and I never liked the Crystal character in season three. I'll just have to see where it goes from here.
Lafayette decided to show up for Jesus' coven meeting but refused to join hands in the circle while they do a ritual to ease Marnie's dead parrot and familiar Minerva to the spirit world. Marnie then changes the chant to indicate they aren't trying to help her to the spirit world but bring her spirit back into her body. Her head snaps over to Lafayette and she orders him to join hands. It kind of surprised me that he obeyed instead of just walking out hips swaying and all attitude. He gives the witches the jolt of power they need and Minerva comes back to life flies across the room and then drops dead again. Lafayette tells Marnie that he's sorry her bird is still dead and she smiles an insane kind of smile and tells him it doesn't matter. He looks at her exactly how I would have, bitch be crazy.
After learning Bill is now King of Louisiana we return to Sookie's house where she's just gotten out of the shower. Eric shows up and catches her tossed robe, turns out since she doesn't own the house any more, her invitations or lack of them don't really matter, at least not for Eric since he owns the house. As I said in the beginning that one was just too obvious. She asks him why he bought it and he states that he knew she was still alive and that by owning the house he owned her. The last thing we see is him popping his fangs as he stalks up to her.
First thoughts as the credits began to roll had absolutely nothing to do with Sookie and Eric. NO ALCIDE!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (pant pant) Okay getting over my anger and disappointment now. To be honest I really was a little disappointed with this first episode after the long wait since the season three finale. But . . . that being said, the show was setting everything up to get roaring as the season moves on and from the trailers and teasers we know we're going to find out pretty much everything that happened during the past year as well as what's happening now in fairly stunning fashion. There were things I loved about the episode and things that I was really kind of 'meh' about. Still excited for next week and the rest of the season, but I better see some Alcide soon or my head may explode.

Hello Azeiku,
Unfortunately, there are no plans for a Lotus Notes version of ViEmu. Implementing ViEmu under a new platform is a huge effort: the emulation core is host-independent, retargetable code, but writing the "glue" to host it can be very complex, as most environments are not prepared for the level of interception ViEmu requires. Thus, it would probably not make much business to work on it. I'm not fully informed about this, but I also think Lotus Notes is on a downwards usage curve? (Correct me if I'm wrong).
One day, there will be a standard model for input in all contexts, and having any kind of input system everywhere will be simple. One day, computing will be sane
Thanks for your interest and best regards,
- Jon
Thanks for your response. I was curious about Lotus Notes, too. I don't know what its usage curve is like, but as a contractor for IBM, I can tell you that IBM uses it everywhere. If ViEmu ran on Lotus Notes, I'd buy it. On the other hand, I can understand that it'd be a big effort. Frankly, though, I'd be reasonably happy with even a stripped-down vi emulation, nevermind full Vim mode. (As proof of this, I've been using a home-grown vi mode for the editor in Lispworks for a week or so with all of 72 commands implemented.)
I suppose I could probably write some vi-ish commands for Notes, but I really have no interest in programming Notes for any other reason and would rather pay someone else to do it. Oh well.
-- Larry Clapp
Larry, thanks a lot for the detailed background info. I'll note it for the future and post here (and drop you a line) if I decide to do something. As you say, the effort would be so big that it's quite unlikely with the current framework, but who knows.

Armor up with this Iron Man watch! This dashing timepiece features a stainless steel case. The dial offers standard numerals with an Iron Man design. The dial is shielded by a durable mineral crystal and is powered by a quartz movement. A black nylon strap will attach around the wrist stylishly and comfortably.
To view the actual case size, Click Here.
Commonly acquired from cattle, leather is animal skin that is typically a byproduct of the nation's meat industry. Animals such as bison, deer, elk, moose, pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep and caribou can also be used. Once the skin is removed from the animal, it is quickly preserved in salt. It is then cleaned, put into a chilling machine to lower the hide's temperature, and tanned to prevent deterioration. Upon completion of this process, the leather is ready to be made into retail items. Leather goods are strong, flexible, supple and long lasting.
Quartz: Although not as mechanically complex as other engines, the quartz movement provides the most accurate and reliable time-keeping. This type of movement typically draws power from a battery and centers around a small vibrating chip of quartz crystal. When an electrical current, supplied from a battery, is applied to a quartz crystal, the current is distorted and creates a precise resonating frequency. Watchmakers employ the subsequent frequency to measure time. Some adaptations to the traditional quartz movement include introducing rotors and power cells in an effort to maintain the accuracy of quartz while eliminating the need for a battery. Quartz movements have been used in timepieces since the 1970s and are highly accurate, dependable and affordable.The case provides the foundation for all other major watch components. It houses the movement, maintains the lugs for attachment to the bracelet or strap, plays host to various crowns and function pushers, and seats the crystal and bezel.
Cases exist in a variety of shapes and sizes and utilize a library of materials for construction such as stainless steel, gold, ceramic, titanium, plastic, and more. The dominance of stainless steel in case construction remains, however, hypo-allergenic metals and materials, like titanium, continue to gain in popularity. Metal cases often have particular finishes - such as a smooth reflective polish or circular matte brush - that enhance the presentation of the timepiece and give it unique depth.
Some designs allow for the case and lugs to be curved in order for the watch to have a more comfortable fit around the wrist. The back of a case will typically be removable and most likely be screw down or pop-off. It is important to note, however, it should only be opened by a trained professional. An exhibition feature (found within a case's back) refers to an added window that allows you to view the movement and is often found on automatic and mechanical timepieces.
Case Size:
Case measurements do not include crown or lugs.

A sixth suspect has been challenged in Strasbourg, in the survey on the project of attack in the paris region foiled, which led police to arrest five suspects in Strasbourg and Marseille. The 31-year-old has been under investigation in Paris by judge anti-terrorism for "criminal association criminal terrorist" and "acquisition, possession, transport, supply or sale of weapons" in relation with a terrorist enterprise.
He has been placed in provisional detention, according to a justice source.
Suspected of having supplied weapons to the network of Strasbourg
shout out Tuesday by the police of the general directorate of internal security (ISB), the suspect has been transferred to the palace of justice in Paris after three days in police custody, according to the sources, confirming information of LCI.
His DNA was found on a gun found during previous searches at Strasbourg, according to a source close to the investigation. He is suspected of"providing weapons" to the network. According to LCI, Hamid B. is a "little rogue", "unknown intelligence services in france, notably for possible links to radical Islam".
The emir French Boubaker El-Hakim in the operation?
on The 25th of November, five men – four French citizens between the ages of 35 to 37 years with a host school, and a Moroccan-46 years old – had been indicted and arrested, suspected of having wanted to commit an attack on the 1st of December in the paris region. Stopped in Strasbourg for the first four and in Marseille for the fifth, they had made allegiance to the group islamic State and had instructions "communicated by a client from the iraqi-syrian", according to the prosecutor of the Republic Francois Molins. These arrests had prevented "a major attack" according to president François Hollande.
According to our information, Boubaker El-Hakim, a Franco-Tunisian 33 years old, is suspected to be one of those outsourcers.

According to the prosecutor Molins, the passage to the act of the strasbourg project group was scheduled for 1 December, "we cannot determine at this stage the precise target chosen."
Sites police, Christmas market, Disneyland Paris…
The operation of telephones and computers found during a search revealed research on the internet on a dozen sites in the paris region such as the 36 quai des Orfèvres, the headquarters of the judicial police, the Christmas market of Champs-Elysées, Disneyland Paris, as well as several places of worship. In police custody, one of the suspects had also referred to the headquarters of the PJ in paris, but also that of the ISB in Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine).
This crackdown has taken place in a context of a terrorist threat is maximum in France, struck for nearly two years by a wave of terrorist attacks unprecedented, having made 238 dead. According to the former minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve, 17 attacks have been thwarted since the beginning of the year, seven in 2015.

Fresh from finishing his three-year apprenticeship, now chef and former commerce and math student, Tom Chuimento, is gearing up to begin plating up seven course degustations and that alike at Wollongong's only hatted restaurant, Caveau.
It has been and interesting road to cookery for Tom, starting out as a kitchen hand at Diggies while studying full-time at Wollongong University.
However, the kitchen was where he would eventually end up and now finds himself today, rather than adding up sums and breaking down mathematical equations – unless, of course, it is to do with recipes for the many dishes he puts together on a daily basis.
After moving on from Diggies to join Little Prince and then Lee and Me and His Boy Elroy, Tom trained with many chefs, who have both inspired him and have helped equip him to be in the position he is today – that is, with and understanding of how to use food and appreciate it. Every bit of it.
With visions of one day opening up his own restaurant and cookery school down the track, the next chapter of his career at Caveau is just around the corner.
Tom took some time out from a day of prep at His Boy Elroy to sit down with me for a chat about his food journey.
Before deciding to become a chef, you were studying at university, correct?
Yes. I did a degree in finance, economics and maths, and did one in straight maths.
Why did you decide to change careers and become a chef? Was it something you always wanted to do?
Growing up in an Italian family, I was always around food. If you put a question in front of me, I can't just write the answer, even if I know it.
I can't do book work. It's not my thing. I'm more of a hands on kind of person. I started working in kitchens whilst I was at uni as a kitchen hand and picked it up really quickly.
I realised this is something I should look at. I started doing my apprenticeship at Diggies and was doing uni full-time, working 50 hour weeks plus uni for a couple months. I just burned out.
The chef I was working with at the time wasn't the most inspirational, so then I left there and went to work at Little Prince picking up glasses and ended up back in the kitchen with Jimmy Calloway (now at Four in Hand), who is one of the most passionate chefs I've worked with.
He showed me what it can be like in the industry if you're actually passionate about it and do it the way you want to do it instead of letting other people dictate how you feel about it.
Are there any others chefs you've look up to, or cookbooks that inspired you?
Not so much books. I didn't really get in to that until later on. But when I got the job at Diggies, I got it through Mick Edwards, who runs Heritage [Kitchen]. He was the first person who taught me anything and he was and is a very knowledgeable chef.
I also worked with Yon from Sandygoodwhich and we had the same kind of understanding of food – making it from scratch.
Working at Diggies, we would make our own Bresaola. It was awesome, and he was also another chef that I learnt a lot off, in a traditional way of looking at food.
Are you glad you started your apprenticeship later and do you feel you were more mature when you did as opposed to if you were say, a teenager?
Definitely. Not so much the apprenticeship part of it, just anything in life. I think with society these days there is such an opportunity to change careers. It's so easy. People think they have to make a decision and stick with it, but you can change.
Being older changing in any profession you're going to be more mature. At TAFE, I've got all these 18-year-old kids with me that don't take it seriously and want to muck around.
That's all well and good and I would have been the same if I started my apprenticeship at 18. But at 25 going in to any different industry you're going to have a mature approach to how you do it.
You've worked at Diggies, Little Price, Lee and Me and His Boy Elroy. Do you think moving around has helped by having to adjust in terms of the style of cooking, cuisines and even way of service?
You definitely learn bits from different places. Like, Lee and Me is an awesome cafe and I loved working there, but at the end of the day you're poaching eggs, so there is only so much you do.
You're poaching 400 eggs a day and that's the job, pretty much. It's fun for a while but then you get good at is and it's like, 'now what?'.
Where as I'm looking forward to going to work at Caveau where the menu changes so often that you get to learn more and more each week. Instead of once every three months.
I think working in difference kitchens is something you pick up in the space of a week and it's all the same. Making different food, that's the new challenge.
What will your role be once you begin full-time at Caveau?
I'm not really sure. Just chef, I think. He's [Peter Sheppard, owner and head chef of Caveau] at the top and everyone is under him. It hasn't really been decided just yet.
And you've already been doing a bit of work experience at Caveau?
For over a year now, I've been doing one day a week or one day a fortnight. I haven't for the past couple of months because I know I've got a job.
I think being more mature has given me the ability to figure out where I want to work. I've always had the view that if you want to be good at something, first learn the fundamentals and then work with the best people, or learn from the best people.
Fundamentals of cooking is French cookery and the best restaurant in Wollongong is Caveau. I want to work there because I want to be good and if I'm going to be good, I want to work there and to get a job there you have to prove you want to be there.
What type of cuisine do you like cooking with the most?
I don't have a favourite.
Think about it… If you have a favourite vegetable, say carrots, and you do a roast dinner, you're always going to put carrots with your roast dinner.
Carrots are great but you're forgetting about many other vegetables. If you have a favourite you're going to be purely focused on that favourite. When creating a dish you don't want to limit yourself because you want to be as creative and make that perfect dish.
If you use the same thing every time you're not thinking outside the box, and there might be something outside the box that would work better.
Have you been on many food related trips?
I've been to Melbourne and go to Sydney a bit. I quite enjoy going out for nice dinners. If I'm going to go somewhere I like to go somewhere really nice.
The last place I went for dinner was Gastro Park up in Sydney and it was the most phenomenal dinner I've ever had in my life.
I've booked to go to Melbourne again in July and I'll be going to Home-Vue De Monde, Shannon Bennett's place. I've always really liked his food, so I'm really looking forward to going there.
What's the end goal? To open up your own place?
My dad bought a farm down in Berry and I've had this image in my head for a while now of doing a boutique bed an breakfast, with six rooms people can stay in and a restaurant that does breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Having a nice sized veggie garden that can supply a lot of the produce to the kitchen and having animals that supply produce as well. I think people are wanting to know more and more where there produce comes from and how it gets to their plate.
I'd love to have gardening classes or cooking classes for kids and adults to be able to show people cooking is really simple. If you want to go to the highest level, then yeah, it's difficult and gets intense, but people tell me it's hard to cook at home.
Well, I could show people how to do things at home that would improve their cooking tenfold. I think to actually show somebody would be the best part for me – taking them out in the morning picking carrots, beetroot, getting fresh goats cheese and then making a salad with everything we just picked – fresh.
Cooking the carrots, cooking the beetroot and showing them it's actually really simple. I always have this argument with Rob, who I worked with at Little Prince, another influential chef.
We used to say, 'who is the better chef: the one that takes the steroid filled, wilted produced that looks five times bigger than it should and cooks and amazing dish with it or the the chef that takes produce that is organically grown, fresh, looked after and does very little with it, but still tastes as good?'
Being a good chef is looking at not only good produce but bad produce and being able to do something with it.
At Little Prince during prep all the food scraps would get thrown into a bucket and we would make lunch out of it. I think that's the whole idea, using everything.
So, in the challenge would you prefer the average produce or the fresh produce?
It's an interesting thought. A lot of people think fresh, fresh, fresh. If you take a fresh carrot and simply shave it, it will taste amazing.
If you get that average carrot and you roast it for ages with some butter, honey, some spices, what is keeping that carrot tasting better than the fresh one?
Being able to do that and know those techniques and to apply them, that's a real skill. It's about understanding what to do with the produce you're given, rather than wanting to only eat fresh produce.
Thanks for your time.

Program Description:
Pick any business in the country today, and you can bet one of the toughest jobs there belongs to the person who's responsible for collecting overdue and unpaid accounts.
By its nature, collection work is difficult. The last thing debtors want is to be confronted by a collector's call. Consequently, hostility and rejection become stressors that collectors must cope with daily. Add to that the frustration of keeping up with records, paperwork, legal issues and deadlines, and you have a colossal headache.
Fortunately, we've come up with a cure for that headache — this one-day workshop packed with techniques and shortcuts that will make your collection responsibilities easier ... and dramatically more effective.
What You´ll Learn:

How to Collect More ... in Less Time
How to Develop Communication Power

Proust's Madeleine refers to a monument that resonates with many readers, a fan's favorite in his writings. A madeleine is a kind of small French cake, usually with ribbed lines across it. Proust recalls eating one and being reminded of something. Sitting and pondering, reaching deep into his mind for the remembrance, as he continued sniffing and tasting the little cake. Finally, all at once in a great flash, the taste and smell involuntarily and instantaneously drew him back to his grandmother's house when he was ten, recalling eating one of them.
He recounts this experience, not with the flavor of a "triggered memory," but as actually being there again, being transported completely, in his senses, to that experience. It is as if for a brief moment, he'd traveled through time. He was the ten year old boy, in his grandmother's house. One can use the phrase, "ma madeleine de Proust" to refer to the trigger of such an experience. As far as I can tell, to be properly referred to as "Une Madeleine de Proust", an experience must be a) involuntary and b) drag one into a past experience.
In a similar manner, I notice that little feelings sometimes allow us to gauge where we now are, and to compare the present moment to the past. Not in as grand a fashion as a person's Madeleine de Proust in the sense that most people will make that reference, but in the way that we relate to people, places, and objects. Perhaps a person gives one a familiar feeling, and a sense of ease… maybe that person carries a similar scent, or way of walking and speaking, or a similar set of tension and ease as a former lover, or an old friend. In other words, in a small way, that arrangement of movements and scents and words will transport us kinesthetically, to a past experience. Thus is it "une petite madeline de Proust."
However, I would argue that it can happen without people being aware of it. It is simply that they will have a good familiar feeling. I often think that in this way people go on seeking to repeat the same set of experiences again and again, but not really noticing how it happens. I have come to suspect that much of our moral imagination is formed of such links to our past. That a house can be built, and a life can be lived within that house, consisting of things that one has chosen for the kinesthetic reality they create for that person, the lovely little things they constantly drag from one's long lost years. But it is merely a house of cakes, "une maison des petites madeleines."
Isn't it true that a new person one meets, or a new place one visits, if utterly alien, will be far more challenging than the "instant ease" we judge things by as being "good?" It is as if "instant ease" or "a sense of initial familiarity" were a sign from God that we've found a person or place we belong with right now. It is only a small leap from one's feeling of ease and rightness to one's sense of what is "right" and "wrong." This is the reason I have said that the "moral imagination" is linked to the "house of cakes" I have described. Perhaps it is only a sign that we've found une petite madeleine and some feature of that person or place has simply drawn us back to a time when we felt comfortable or happy or else the petite madeleine simply refers to something we like about ourselves.
I write all this from the perspective of a traveler. I have lived 8800 miles from where I was born for around two years. Long enough for it to feel like "home." I have also felt love for places spread across Europe and the U.S. Moreover, some types of people are incredibly easy for me to get along with. The Irish are known for being friendly. The Taiwanese are very helpful and usually try very hard to impress foreigners. The provincial French are easygoing, laid back little people, among whom I could easily unwind many years. I can ultimately interact with all these people with similar rules of politeness to what I would use at my parent's church, and expect similar responses.
Another example: I know well the scent of autumn, and it is striking because it blurs my reality by being the same scent in Atlanta and in Taipei. The familiarity the scent creates, here by the Taiwan Straight, on this rogue island off the coast of an ancient empire, takes me to any number of times I've walked through my grandparents' field, or the forests of North GA mountains, or sat on the porch of the house I grew up in. It creates that reality around me. Smells are so powerful this way.
However, at a documentary film festival, I recently watched a film that stunned me: "Let's Be Together." The film depicted a Danish boy who was a serious cross-dresser. He identified himself as a boy, and seemed to enjoy being a boy, and he later admitted that he liked boys, and man-oh-man he liked to rock some fancy 6″ heels. Such queer material was not what was stunning, indeed it is a bit old hat for me. But the culture in which it appeared was utterly alien to my senses.
The Danes he lived with weren't too bothered by his behavior. One must bear in mind, Denmark is a country where, if he was transgendered, he could probably start taking hormones around age 13 or 14, probably have surgery after 18. Also this country is one where a bunch of hippies once took over a military base in the 1970s. Instead of the government either shooting or arresting all the hippies, they just let them keep the installation and run it as an independent government within the city of Copenhagen. This prefecture still exists and is called "Christiania." In other words, the Danes are coming from a radically different place than what I'm used to. Any country I have lived in generally views transgendered as some sort of disease and would have arrested those hippies forthwith, not given them their own independent government!
The boy's father was Brazilian. I was amazed at the way he spoke to his son. He was emotionally transparent. Initially I thought he was being overly angry as he seemed to be reacting intensely. Also, the father was a masculine guy and most masculine fathers get threatened by the first show of femininity in their sons — or so I have seen in cultures I know. But this guy was different. In his honesty and transparency he revealed that his concern was that the boy would alienate himself from society and therefore face physical danger and fail to find love.
The father (apparently a clothier) was fine with making a dress for his son so the boy could be Cleopatra at his 15th birthday party. As his expert hands sewed on sequins, the dad shared stories with his son about how he was lost and confused at 15; but he found a man he fell in love with and had a sexual relationship with, who helped him find his way. This is all very interesting because the father also had a wife at the time of the movie. But he told his child about gay loves and straight loves. And concluded the long conversation with the words, "this is all I want for you, for you to find this happiness that was so important for me."
What?! I cannot imagine such a conversation between a father and a son in my culture. This was a conversation in which the boy was viewed with respect as a person with some right to privacy and choosing his own way. The father brought concerns only to help the boy find all the best in life — not blushing at any aspect of sexuality or discovery. And the father shared his own very personal experiences, with frankness and emotional honesty throughout! Mon Dieu!
Back to the Danes: The boy's stepfather took him fishing, and treated him perfectly well. He didn't even seem phased by the fact that the kid had taken to such extreme behavior (though he refused to spend 200 USD on a pair of sunglasses). The stepfather and the mom only seemed to care that her son might be hurt (physically) by some ignorant kids. Moreover, the way the family interacted just had a tone to it which was completely different than what I have known. Their formalities and informalities, their tension and ease, were in places that did not resemble any family I have ever seen in my life.
The strange thing is that the Danish family and the Brazilian family initially gave me a very dark feeling. I felt uncomfortable, and I put up a kind of moral judgement about them. After a little while, I noticed that this sense of "evil" was because their ways of doing things were putting me in a kinesthetic feeling I only knew as "evil." But once I set that aside, and watched them…. I realized that nothing they did could be called "evil" in the sense that if they, or even all the world, acted that way it would bring any harm to people, either in their bodies or their souls. It was simply an "evil" by my own tribe, the one I have left, and perhaps the one whose soil I stand on now.
But that sense of evil, what is it? It is just a trip into another place, another time, something dredging the depths of my brain and dragging me back to my childhood where I see my father's lips recoiling into a grimace when certain things come to pass. Or hurling me headlong into my grandmother's house, where I see her self-righteous smile as she pronounces God's judgement on certain "wickedness." Or my mother's tightening jaw as she sees a thing, and wonders how she'll speak of it to me, because "God says that's wrong." In other words, whether I have been aware of this or not, many of my moral feelings just come back to my own "Petites Madelienes des Proust." And it was only in opening myself up to something difficult, where I wanted to put up barriers and judgments, that I was able to see that kind of morality for the tribal superstition that it is.

This week I spoke at Bangalore DevOps meetup on the topic "The story of SonarQube told to a DevOps Engineer". I have started writing TalkNotes inspired from Martin Fowler.Unlike his detailed article my posts aims to help the audience better understand my slides. SonarQube is a open source code quality management platform. It was a 30 mins talk focused at the need, setup, CI Infrastructure and administration of the SonarQube to the DevOps community.
I have started the talk with one of my favorite subject Technical Debt. We have also looked at some of the parameters which determines the quality are coding standards breach, duplication, lack of unit tests, bad distribution of complexity, Spaghetti Design etc... I have spoke about this in more detail at previous post. There are various existing tools that helps reduce the technical debt by improve the code quality. What was missing was a easier way of tracking these code rule violations. For examples I need to know how much debt was introduced or was cleaned up? As a developer how do you quantify improvement the which a particular code refactoring has brought to the team etc..
This is where Sonar come to your help. Sonar's rich feature set allows you to do these and more. Currently it can run the quality analysis on more than 20 languages including Java, C#, C/C++, PL/SQL, Javascript, PHP, Web, XML etc.... It stores the analysis results and the data is displayed through various dashboards. Further slides discusses the sonar platform overview and installation.
The below diagram shows the CI environment including SonarQube. The Hudson plugin for SonarQube can be configured by following the wiki.
Image Idea from this blog.
The best part of sonar is its documentation. This was the most comprehensive documentation I have read about any open source product. You just need their wiki page to get 99% of answers. Now that I have it configured hope to write more about it in the coming moths.
