|The relax 2.2.0 user manual
This is a major feature and bugfix release which marks the completion of the N-state model analysis implementation. The N-state model allows single structures or ensembles of static structures to be analysed and compared using residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), pseudo-contact shifts (PCSs), distance restraints via NOEs. In addition to alignment tensors, the populations or probabilities of each state can be optimised as well as the position of the paramagnetic centre when PCSs are used.
The new relax versions can be downloaded from http://www.nmr-relax.com/download.html. If binary distributions are not yet available for your platform and you manage to compile the binary modules, please consider contributing these to the relax project (described in section 3.6 of the relax manual, http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/relax_distribution_archives.html).
CHANGES file
Version 2.2.0
(27 January 2013, from /trunk)
- Implementation of the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user functions.
- Improved printouts from the model_selection, pipe.display, rdc.read user functions.
- Implemented the interatomic.copy and interatomic.create user functions.
- Added the 'units' argument to the frq.set user function to allow values other than Hz to be input.
- Added the 'empty' flag to the sequence.copy user function to allow all the spin contents to be copied.
- Implemented the pcs.structural_noise user function. This is used to determine the PCS error due to structural noise via simulation, and adds the error via variance addition to the experimental PCS error.
- The N-state model grid search optimises each tensor separately when only tensors are optimised. This massively collapses the grid search size from inc5*N to N*inc5, where inc are the number of increments per dimension and N is the number of alignments, making a grid search possible.
- Implemented the rdc.set_errors and pcs.set_errors user functions.
- Added Monte Carlo simulation support for the paramagnetic centre for PCSs in the N-state model.
- The paramagnetic centre position for the PCS can now be optimised using algorithms other than simplex, such as BFGS, as the gradients of the PCS equations have been implemented. This allows for huge speedups as the simplex optimiser is not suited to such a problem.
- The probabilities and paramagnetic position can now be simultaneously optimised in the N-state model. Such a combination would have previously failed to unpack the parameters correctly.
- Constraints are now allowed for the paramagnetic position optimisation in the N-state model. This is because the gradients are implemented and functional.
- The relax HTML user manual footer has been modified to remove the name of the person who compiled it. This is for http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/index.html, and now contains links for relax (http://www.nmr-relax.com), the manual (http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual) and the PDF version of the manual (http://download.gna.org/relax/manual/relax.pdf).
- Small syntax fix in the release checklist document.
- Added the MARC archive links to the development chapter of the relax user manual. These links are: http://marc.info/?l=relax-announce&r=1&w=2, http://marc.info/?l=relax-users&r=1&w=2, http://marc.info/?l=relax-devel&r=1&w=2, and http://marc.info/?l=relax-commits&r=1&w=2.
- The model-free overfit deselection algorithm now fails with a RelaxError when no spins are selected. This is to avoid situations such as bug #20277.
- The pipe.display user function now uses relax_io.write_data() for better output formatting.
- Created the N_state_model.test_data_copying system test for the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user functions. These user functions do not exist yet, but this test will be used to implement them.
- Reactivated the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user function front-ends. The backends are missing, so relax is currently broken.
- Created the RelaxNoAlignError error class for use by rdc.copy and pcs.copy.
- Created the RelaxAlignError error class for use by the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user functions.
- Implemented the rdc.copy and pcs.copy user function backends. This code is copied from the relax_data.copy user function and has been tailored to the different data types.
- Modified the RDC and PCS data copying system test script to check overwriting. The rdc.copy and pcs.copy user function should support the overwriting of existent values.
- The rdc.copy and pcs.copy user functions now support overwriting pre-existing data.
- Removed some debugging printouts.
- The N_state_model.test_data_copying system test now checks the spin RDC and PCS data.
- The model_selection user function is now using relax_io.write_data() for its printouts. This allows for clean formatting when data pipes have long names.
- The rdc.write and pcs.write user functions now skip deselected spins.
- The axis for PDB geometric cone can now be turned off in the create_cone_pdb() function. The axis_flag keyword argument is now accepted and if False will cause the axis to be excluded. This is useful for the frame order cones for example as its own {x,y,z}-axis system is created.
- Many docstring fixes for the functions of the generic_fns.structure.geometric module.
- Created the N_state_model.test_absolute_rdc_menthol system test to demonstrate a pseudo-atom failure. This is a test of the long range, absolute RDCs for menthol.
- Added a check for the second Q factor in the N_state_model.test_absolute_rdc_menthol system test.
- Modified the N_state_model.test_populations system test to catch bug #20335. This simply adds calls to the rdc.delete and pcs.delete user functions, and then reloads the RDC and PCS data.
- Modified the temperature user function - the value can be set twice if it is the same value.
- Modified the frq.set user function - the value can be set twice if it is the same value.
- The rdc.back_calc user function now handles absolute RDCs.
- Created the Align_tensor.test_copy system test to catch bug #20338.
- The spin.create_pseudo user function 'members' argument is no longer read only in the GUI. This allows the user to type in shorter spin IDs rather than selecting them from the list.
- Shifted and renamed the arg_check.check_float() function to check_types.is_float().
- The relax_io.write_spin_data() function now formats floating point numbers better. This affects the printouts of many data loading user functions.
- Better printouts from the rdc.read user function - the numbers are now formatted.
- Created the interatomic.copy and interatomic.create user functions. This is simply new front ends for the user for the functions of generic_fns.interatomic.
- The generic_fns.interatomic.copy() function now accepts spin IDs as arguments to partially copy the data.
- Expanded the RelaxNoSpinError class to accept the data pipe name for the error printout.
- Created the Interatomic.test_copy system test to check the interatomic.copy user function.
- Expanded the Interatomic.test_copy system test to check interatomic.copy without spin IDs.
- Added a test for the presence of target sequence data in generic_fns.interatomic.copy().
- Spun out code from generic_fns.pipes.create() into the new check_type() function. This code will be reused in a new pipe user function.
- Created the Pipes.test_change_type system test to check the non-existent pipe.change_type user function.
- Implemented the pipe.change_type user function front and back ends.
- Created the Align_tensor.test_fix() system test to check the operation of align_tensor.fix.
- Created some synthetic paramagnetically aligned RDC and PCS data to the test suite. This will be used in later system tests.
- Fixes for the PCS values of the paramagnetic alignment test suite data. The data generation script output and results file have been added to the repository as well.
- Created the N_state_model.test_paramag_align_fit system test to check the paramagnetic data. This test check the alignment tensor optimisation of the RDC and PCS data in test_suite/shared_data/align_data/paramagnetic/, loading both alignment data sets but only optimising one tensor.
- The RelaxErrors when calling user functions in the prompt/script interface are now more informative. The user function is now stated. This is to better help the user work out where the problem is.
- Created the Rdc.test_rdc_copy system test to demonstrate the failure of the rdc.copy user function.
- Created the Pcs.test_pcs_load and Pcs.test_pcs_copy system tests to check some of the PCS user functions. The Pcs system test class is new, and these tests check untested areas of relax.
- Created RelaxInteratomInconsistentError for when the data is inconsistent between two data pipes.
- Created the generic_fns.interatomic.consistent_interatomic_data() function for checking data consistency.
- The rdc.copy user function now uses the new consistent_interatomic_data() function prior to copying. To copy the RDC data, the interatomic data containers must be identical between the two data pipes.
- Fix for the N_state_model.test_data_copying system test. The interatomic data is now copied prior to copying the RDC data.
- Created 4 unit tests to demonstrate the failure of the selection object with spin IDs.
- The molecule, residue and spin selection object now works with spin IDs.
- Docstring consistency editing for all parts of the generic_fns.mol_res_spin module.
- Created the Selection system test class. This currently has the test Selection.test_deselect_all for checking the deselect.all user function. The number of tests will be expanded in the future to cover interatomic data containers and the operation of all the select and deselect user functions.
- Shifted the boolean selection operations of the generic_fns.selection module into two new functions. These are the boolean_select() and boolean_deselect() functions. The change removes much duplicated code which could be a source of bugs in the future.
- The frq.set user function now warns if the frequency is lower than 100 MHz or higher than 2 GHz.
- Updated the diffusion tensor minimisation sample script as the code is very old and useless.
- Created the State.test_align_tensor_with_mc_sims system test to catch bug #20414.
- Modified the align_tensor_mc.bz2 save file to catch a strange and rare bug. This is caught by the State.test_align_tensor_with_mc_sims system test.
- Spun out the maths_fns.rotation_matrix.random_rot_axis() function into its own module. The function is now called maths_fns.vectors.random_unit_vector().
- Added a second data pipe with data to the 'align_tensor_mc.bz2' saved state to catch a bug. This bug was recently introduced.
- Added checks for the RDC data in the State.test_align_tensor_with_mc_sims system test. This is to be sure that the data is properly converted from the old design.
- Added the 'empty' flag to the sequence.copy user function to allow all the spin contents to be copied. The user function was only copying the basic empty molecule, residue and spin containers, in contrast to the interatomic.copy user function which copies all of the container contents as well. This new flag is for backwards compatibility - it allows old scripts to operate as before while enabling the new functionality.
- Removed the check for the 3D structural data in the paramag.centre user function. This check is not needed.
- Created the Pcs.test_structural_noise system test for the new pcs.structural_noise user function.
- Created the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure system test to demonstrate a bug in the N-state model. This appears to be a problem with Monte Carlo simulations when data is missing.
- Modified the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure system test to include missing PCS data. This is to catch another bug.
- Modified the missing data system test script to include Monte Carlo simulations. This is to cover untested code paths.
- Added calls to rdc.set_errors and pcs.set_errors in the missing data N-state model system test script. These user functions currently do not exist, but are needed as the data files contain no errors.
- Modified all generic_fns.mol_res_spin.get_*() functions to handle no data pipes being present. These functions were previously raising RelaxErrors as no pipes were present. They now return empty lists instead. This allows many of the GUI user functions to open in the GUI when no data is present, allowing better debugging and less confusion for the user.
- The Pipes.test_change_type system test is skipped if the required scipy module is not installed.
- Python 3 fix for the new pcs.structural_noise user function. There was a string/unicode problem in the Grace plot creation code.
- Created the Pcs.test_load_multi_col_data system test to demonstrate a failure of PCS data loading. This is a problem when 15N data is in one column and 1H data is in another, and the spin_id argument is used to specify which is which.
- Added some printouts to the Pcs.test_load_multi_col_data system test.
- Created the Pcs.test_grace_plot system test to check the pcs.corr_plot user function.
- Created the Pcs.test_load_multi_col_data2 system test to catch a bug with the molecule name. This is the same as the Pcs.test_load_multi_col_data system test but the spins have the molecule name set.
- Created the Mol_res_spin.test_prune_metadata system test to catch a bug in the spin ID lookup table. Spin IDs appear not to be correctly removed from the lookup table.
- Added some more checks to the Mol_res_spin.test_prune_metadata system test to demonstrate more bugs.
- Activated the Monte Carlo simulations in the metal_pos_opt.py system test script. This is to test the combination of Monte Carlo simulations and paramagnetic centre position optimisation.
- Added Monte Carlo simulations to the N_state_model.test_paramag_centre_fit system test. This is to better test the code paths.
- Modified the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure to demonstrate a failure in paramagnetic centre code. The failure is for the combination of paramagnetic centre optimisation and Monte Carlo simulations.
- Modified the paramag.centre user function printouts for the 'fix' flag.
- The alignment tensor objects in the relax data store now support sequential Monte Carlo analyses. The AlignTensorData.set_sim_num() method was preventing a second Monte Carlo error analysis from being performed by throwing a RelaxError. The check for previous simulations has been killed.
- Added checks to the N-state model for the paramagnetic centre optimisation. Only simplex optimisation without constraints is allowed for the paramagnetic centre position as the PCS gradients and Hessians are not yet implemented for the coordinate parameters.
- Improved the RDC and PCS Q factor calculation warnings to be more informative. These warnings sometimes appear at the end of the N-state model optimisation, but it is not clear where they come from.
- Clean up of some of the logic in N-state model analysis specific code. The following methods have been added: _opt_tensor(), _opt_uses_align_data(), _opt_uses_pcs(), and _opt_uses_rdc(). These are used through the class to determine what is needed for or used during optimisation,making a lot of checking code more consistent (hence removing latent bugs).
- Added some more checks to the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script.
- First attempt at implementing the paramagnetic centre position gradient in the N-state model. This will be used for faster optimisation of the lanthanide position. Two new functions have been added: maths_fns.pcs.ave_pcs_tensor_ddeltaij_dc() and maths_fns.pcs.pcs_constant_grad(). These are used by the dfunc_*() methods of the N-state model target function class.
- Major code simplification of the N-state model target functions. The func_tensor_opt(), dfunc_tensor_opt(), and d2func_tensor_opt() methods have been merged with the func_population(), dfunc_population(), and d2func_population() methods into the new func_standard(),dfunc_standard(), and d2func_standard() methods. This halves the amount of code required to be maintained and debugged. For the merger, the new probs_fixed class instance variable has been created to determine when the probabilities need to be unpacked from the parameter vector.
- Removed the unused parameter scaling in the N-state model gradient and Hessian target functions.
- Added a RelaxError to the N-state model Hessian for the optimisation of the paramagnetic position. This is because these equations are not derived or coded yet.
- Expanded the N-state model target function func_standard() docstring to include the xi derivative. This is the partial derivative with respect to the paramagnetic centre position.
- Comment fixes in the ave_pcs_tensor_ddeltaij_dc() and pcs_constant_grad() functions.
- Modified the N-state model metal_pos_opt.py system test script. This is to test optimisation with the new paramagnetic position gradients.
- BFGS optimisation is now being used for the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure system test. This is to have better test coverage of the paramagnetic centre position optimisation gradient code paths.
- Simplified the parameter unpacking in the func_standard() N-state model target function.
- Improved the comments in the _disassemble_param_vector() N-state model method.
- Modified the populations.py N-state model system test script to better test optimisation. The probability of the 2nd state has been slightly shifted to make sure the original value can be found.
- Modified the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script to demonstrate some failures.
- Improved the checks of the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script.
- Modified the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script to catch yet another bug.
- Added Monte Carlo simulations to the align_fit.py N-state model system test script. This is to increase the very low coverage of Monte Carlo simulation testing for the N-state model.
- Modified the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script to test the bootstrapping code path. This converts the Monte Carlo simulations into bootstrapping to make sure this method also functions correctly.
- Implemented the N-state model specific return_data() method. This is needed for bootstrapping.
- Fixes for the N-state model return_data() method.
- Modified the RelaxNoRDCError and RelaxNoPCSError to accept no alignment ID. This is then used to indicate the complete absence of data.
- Modified the initial testing of the rdc.set_errors and pcs.set_errors user functions. This is to better indicate to the user what the problem is and why the user function cannot operate.
- Fixes for the align_fit.py N-state model system test script. The recently introduced Monte Carlo simulations and associated RDC and PCS error setting was failing when RDC or PCS data was missing. The script now checks the mode of operation and only sets errors if the corresponding data is present.
- The N_state_model.test_align_fit system test now checks the simulation PCS values.
- Fix for the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script. The moving interatomic data containers are now also deselected.
- Added extensive data checks to the N_state_model.test_metal_pos_opt system test script.
- Added new checks in the N_state_model.test_metal_pos_opt system test. These are for structures which should not be in the deselected spins and interatomic containers.
- The N-state model _check_rdcs() method now skips deselected interatomic data containers. A FIXME comment has also been added to highlight a possible future problem.
- Added some consistency to the specific analysis API base class. The return_data() method argument has been changed from 'spin' to 'data_id', as the data from the base_data_loop() methods are often not spin containers.
- Made the χ2 value check less stringent in the N_state_model.test_metal_pos_opt system test. For some bizarre reason, the calc() call in the GUI is less precise.
- The N_state_model.test_populations system test has been made less stringent to allow MS Windows to pass.
- Scons fix for MS Windows. A bug was introduced in the previous version which causes scons to fail on MS Windows. This has to do with the ctypes.Structure object but strangely led to a AttributeError importing scipy when initialising scons.
- Another attempt at fixing the scons failure in MS Windows due to scipy and ctypes killing each other.
- Work around for a numpy bug triggered by scons and the import of Scientific.Visualization.VMD. For details, see the thread started by Jack Howarth (howarth att bromo dot med dot uc dot edu) started at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.nmr.relax.devel/3663 (Message ID:<firstname.lastname@example.com>).
- Fix for a fatal bug in the multi-processor code (https://gna.org/bugs/?20253). The Queue module is now imported as 'queue' for Python 3 support, so the code was referring to the wrong object name.
- Bugfix for the grid_search user function. The elements of the list of integers can be None to indicate that no grid search in that dimension is to be performed.
- Fix for model elimination in the modsel.py model-free sample script. The eliminate user function should be applied to each data pipe separately.
- Fix for the relax_io.write_data() function - it can now handle no data being sent in.
- Bugfix for the use of pseudo-atoms for RDCs in the N-state model analysis. If the second atom of the pair in the intermolecular data container holding the RDC data was a pseudo-atom, then the N-state model optimisation setup would fail. Now both the first and second atoms being pseudo-atoms is supported.
- Fix for bug #20335. The global alignment ID data structure now has the RDC or PCS ID string correctly removed.
- Fix for bug #20338, the new tensor name is now set.
- Bugfix for the catching of errors in the GUI user functions - the sys module import was missing.
- Bugfix for the GUI combo_list input element SetValue() method. Values not belonging to the combo lists can now be set. This fixes the spin.create_pseudo user function in the test suite, a bug triggered by the N_state_model.test_absolute_rdc_menthol GUI test.
- Fixes for the align_tensor.copy user function for when the tensor_to argument is not supplied. Now it is assumed that the new tensor will have the same name as the old. The new tensor is also properly initialised.
- Bugfix for the N-state model with PCSs and the temperature or spectrometer frequency are not set. Previously the missing value was set to 0 K or 1e-10 Hz, but this was causing optimisation to fail. Now a RelaxError is produced if the value is missing and optimisation is attempted.
- Fixes for the calculation of RDC and PCS Q factors for when fixed alignment tensors are present. If a tensor is fixed, then there will be no back-calculated data. Therefore instead of returning from the function, a continue statement is used to skip just that alignment.
- Bugfix for the RelaxNoAlignError error class - the printout statement was broken.
- Bugfix for the rdc.copy user function - it is now functional. The code was old and untested, and still assumed that the RDC values were held in spin containers rather than the interatomic data containers.
- Partial fix for bug #20378. The gui_raise() function was operating differently under the command line run test suite and the GUI run test suite. The operation of the function is now consistent, and no RelaxError is raised (unless the raise_flag argument is set).
- Full fix for bug #20378. As no RelaxError is no longer raised in this Bruker.test_bug_20152_read_dc_file GUI test (well only in the command line operation of the GUI tests), instead the current data pipe is checked to make sure no relaxation data was loaded.
- Fix for bug #20414. The variable for the number of simulations in the AlignmentTensorList object is now set prior to setting the simulation parameter values.
- Fix for bug #20417. The backwards compatibility hook for the loading of old relax state and results files can now handle the presence of proton spins. The data structures are now correctly converted to the current data pipe design. This is only the case for old files containing PCS data.
- Fix for bug #20420. The problem was in the generic_fns.mol_res_spin.create_spin() function. The index_molecule() and index_residue() functions where not taking alternative, non-current data pipes into account.
- Fix for bug #20421. The loading of relax state files was only updating the spin ID metadata structures for the current data pipe. Now all loaded data pipes are updated.
- RDC data fix for the _back_compat_hook() method for converting old relax state and results files. The RDC data was not being shifted into the corresponding interatomic data container and remained in the spin containers.
- Fix for the bug caught by the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure system test. If no RDC error is present, then the returned error from the N-state model analysis specific method return_error() is None.
- Fix for the missing PCS data in the N-state model Monte Carlo simulations. This was caught by the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure system test.
- Fix for the N_state_model.test_mc_sim_failure GUI test - the relax data store was not empty at the start.
- Bugfix for the loading of PCS data from a file with different spin types in different columns. This was caught by the Pcs.test_load_multi_col_data system test which now passes.
- Bugfix for generic_fns.mol_res_spin.metadata_prune(). Non-unique molecules and residues are now removed from the spin ID lookup table.
- Proper bugfix for the spin ID metadata lookup table pruning. The Mol_res_spin.test_prune_metadata system test now passes. The previous fix was not complete, and it should have been in the spin_id_variants_elim() function rather than metadata_prune().
- Python 3 fix for the Pcs.test_grace_plot system test.
- Fix for the N-state model _minimise_setup_atomic_pos() method for the paramagnetic centre. The cdp.paramagnetic_centre_sim may not exist prior to Monte Carlo simulations.
- Fix for the Monte Carlo initialisation of the paramagnetic centre position in the N-state model. The simulation positions are now initialised to the optimised position.
- Fix for the N-state model Monte Carlo simulations for when the paramagnetic centre is fixed.
- Bugfix for the N-state model optimisation of populations and paramagnetic position. The gradient from dfunc_standard() is now correctly calculated when both are optimised.
- Fix for the assembly of the N-state model linear constraints. These were not set up correctly when the populations and paramagnetic position are optimised together.
- Bugfix for the N-state model Hessian d2func_standard() method. An index variable name was incorrect causing the population model to fail with Newton optimisation.
- Bugfixes for the _opt_uses_pcs() and _opt_uses_rdc() N-state model methods. These now check that the populations are optimised as well.
- Fix for a bug caught by the N_state_model.test_metal_pos_opt system test. The problem was that uninitialised probability arrays of None from cdp.probs was always sent into the target function, whereas None should be sent in instead.
- Big data store clean up fix for the N-state model. The N-state model specific base_data_loop() method now skips deselected interatomic data containers and spins. This prevents a lot of junk data being created in the data pipe, for example back calculated and Monte Carlo simulation RDC and PCS data.
- Fixes for the relaxation curve-fitting specific return_data() method. Strangely it appears as if this method is never used.

Whether you are a working woman or a mom on the go, Worth has something for you, and I was more than a little impressed when I looked through the fall/winter collection.
Worth was established in 1991 in New York. The line is sold through agency leaders, not department stores, and features four trunk shows a year — one for each season.
What this means is a sample set of the collection is housed at an agency leaders' home, who meets clients by appointment. The client gets one-on-one personal attention and makes smart buying choices, which allows Worth to make couture-quality garments at a bridge price point. Items can range from $200-$1,500, and the fabrics used are milled in the same Italian mills as Gucci, Bottega Venetta, etc.
The fall/winter collection is modern, sophisticated and chic. Beautifully knit dresses, sweaters, silk blouses, suede and leather pieces come in colors that are rich and on trend for fall — think berry, mustard yellow, navy, grays and creams. The collection also features color blocking, animal prints and plenty of sparkle for holiday dressing. I'm personally obsessed with the brick shawl cardigan ($598) and liquid gold-metallic organza coat ($998).
If you are interested in viewing the fall/winter trunk show, contact LaGrange at (858) 444-7348, firstname.lastname@example.com or the agency leaders for La Jolla directly: Kelli Fales (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Cristina Schaffer (firstname.lastname@example.com). They will be making appointments for a trunk show in La Jolla that will run from Nov. 2-8. If you don't want to wait that long, can check out the collection online at www.worthny.com. Happy shopping!

Tuesday: Fish Tacos {Saveur} with Spicy Southwestern Corn {Cooking Club Magazine}
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Raging Burrito

As long as I can remember, I've always been thrilled and fascinated by the Academy Awards.
Even when I was little, I remember rushing home from grammar school, sleeping the whole afternoon and into most of the night and waking up for the 10 p.m. telecast of the Oscars. Yes, there was a time when the Academy Awards used to start at 10 (and on a Monday, no less).
And, yes, I remember the Academy Awards finishing way after 2 a.m. and not being able to get my sleepy head out of bed the next day. Those were the days, my friend.
Obviously, I will never be one of Hollywood's beautiful people, but on the same token, I can always spot a missed opportunity, botched joke or failed attempt at humor. This is my blessing. This is also my curse, as I found out watching Seth MacFarlane's hosting stint on the Academy Awards.
During an evening in which Daniel Day-Lewis proved he has a future in standup, or at Disneyland's Hall of President, if his acting career ever peters out, MacFarlane was predictable, stiff and unfunny. And this coming from someone who usually finds "Family Guy' very funny and thinks MacFarlane has a fine singing voice.
MacFarlane made the same mistake that David Letterman made when he hosted (but, admittedly, not as embarrassing). The Academy Awards are not about the host. It's about the glitz, the glamour, the gluttony and the gorgeous people of Tinsel Town. When you come down to it, it's narcissism at its finest.
And, always remember, an opening monologue about not being funny is as bad as not being funny.
Instead of opening with a tired "Star Trek" spoof with a decrepit Captain James T. Kirk (and this is coming from a diehard Trekkie), why not a spoof on "Looper," one of the most highly regarded time-tripping, sci-fi movies in recent years. And it actually came out the year you're celebrating. Go figure. The telecast even had one of its stars, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, perform a stupid soft shoe bit with Daniel Radcliffe. How hard would it have been to persuade Bruce Willis to get onboard?
If not "Looper," how about Ben Affleck trying to smuggle MacFarlane out of the Dolby Theatre with the cover of him being an Academy Award winning animator or caterer? There would have been plenty of opportunities to jab the Academy for Affleck's blatant omission for a "Best Director" nod.
Better yet, MacFarlane flashing a gratuitous leg shot in homage to Angelina Jolie, or sharing some heartwarming and potentially hilarious memories of seeing movies when he was a kid.
Personally, my fondest movie memory from when I was a kid was seeing my first James Bond movie, "Live and Let Die," in the theater, with my father, my brother and my mother telling me "Don't look! Don't look!" every time there was a scene of violence or nudity. Being that I was only a kid, I didn't have enough sense to just close my eyes so I would flip my head completely around my neck every time (and it was quite often) my mom said, "Don't look! Don't look!" In the opening title sequence alone, I stared at the face of the person sitting directly behind me more so than the actual movie screen itself. To this day, I could pick the man out of a lineup.
MacFarlane seemed too set in his ways and didn't do his homework. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he meticulously and painstakingly brainstormed, practiced and prepared up to the last minute, but he focused too much on performing stupid (and unfunny) songs and fancy footwork. You've got to focus on the movies and their stars.
Did anyone come away from the Academy Awards a year ago saying, "Gee, the Oscars could use a little more song and dance numbers?" That's why we have the Tonys.
First off, how can you have Channing Tatum dancing onstage and not taking his shirt off? Instead of dancing with Charlize Theron, Tatum should have danced with Mathew McConaughey (who seems game for anything) and the rest of the "Magic Mike" cast.
If you're going to have Charlize Theron dancing on stage, how about an interpretative dance of "Prometheus."
And is anybody really itching for a salute to the much ballyhooed musicals "Chicago" or "Dreamgirls," neither of which were (despite their awards) that particularly good?
Better yet, if you're going heavy on the dance card, how about Hollywood's "It Girl" Jennifer Lawrence and "Sexiest Man Alive" Bradley Cooper recreating the ridiculously bad but inevitably triumphant dance routine from "Silver Linings Playbook" with a reunited White Stripes playing in the background? That would have been killer.
In keeping with the "Silver Linings Playbook" theme, how about a madcap salute to mental illness in the movies from "Psycho" to "The Silence of the Lambs," from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to "Fatal Attraction" — because it helps to have a screw loose to make it in Hollywood.
Even the "In Memoriam" reel was lame. With the biggest stars living long, full lives (Jack Klugman, 80; Charles Durning, 89; and Ernest Borgnine, 95) and a majority of the others being relatively unknowns, I expected to see someone who worked at the concession stand at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre 50 years ago to pop up.
As for the James Bond tribute, Dame Shirley Bassey nailed the quintessential 007 theme song "Goldfinger." But, I wish they took it further with the likes of Sheena Easton, Carly Simon, Paul McCartney, even Duran Duran singing snippets of their respective Bond song and ending with Adele.
While some of MacFarlane's zingers hit the bull's eye, others fell flat. Mel Gibson's angry, racist-laced tirade is not off-limits, but Meryl Streep having a noticeable wedgie onstage is?
Ted — MacFarlane's fouled-mouth Teddy Ruxpin character — overstayed his welcome. Gasp. The Snuggle's Bear made a comment about there being a lot of Jews in Hollywood. Who knew?
Now that we are done with the "Twilight" movies, MacFarlane could have said we can move on to the real issue at hand, the impending zombie apocalypse, and segued into a grisly highlight reel with assorted B-movies clips and the forthcoming "World War Z" with Brad Pitt.
And how cool would it have been if during one of those boring song-and-dance numbers we caught MacFarlane backstage watching "The Walking Dead" on a portable TV after the nine o'clock hour.
And, what, no "Hunger Games" jokes?
As for the problems with the "Best Picture" categories this year, most of the films are thinly disguised remakes of better products.
For instance, "Lincoln" is clearly a remake of "Norma Rae," told from the perspective of the 16th President.
"Zero Dark Thirty" is a combination "Working Girl" meets "The Dirty Dozen" (with Osama bin Laden in the role of "Maggott.")
"Argo" is a remake of "Casablanca" but, instead of Rick staying behind while Isa Lund flies away with Victor Laszio, Affleck boards the plane with six U.S. Embassy workers pretending to be Canadian filmmakers during the height of the Iran Hostage Crisis.
"Django Unchained" is, of course, the infamous "Saturday Night Live" job interview sketch with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor inflated to a two-and-a-half hour movie and boasting a much higher body count.
And "Les Miserables" is, by far, the campest of the "X-Men" spinoffs.
If the Academy Awards truly wanted to be hip, risky and irreverent, I suggest Sacha Baron Cohen or "South Park" creators (and Tony Award winners) Matt Stone and Trey Parker to helm the Oscars next year. (Craig S. Semon)

Turns out our SCSI controller would only work in the central slot of the riser card which was 'one to one mapped pin by pin' into the slot the card plugged into. The other 2 slots on the riser had only a subset of the pins of the slot and a couple of short edge connectors (6-12 pins?) on ribbon cable to plug into other PCI slots on the board (I spose those may have been IRQ lines et al). In fact a couple of other types of card wouldnt work in any slot but the fully mapped one (4 port dlink cards I think). So beware. This problem may not occur with that particular riser card, especially if all slots in the card have ribbon cable to map each pin 1 to 1 to pins on the board. (Safest of all would be a riser card with a single pci slot on it - not quite as useful but you could still get a full height pci card in the machine). /kc > > A+ > -- > Guignon Thomas, thomas.guignon at artabel.net > Tel: 33 1 69 18 95 93 > Fax: 33 1 69 18 95 96 > ARTABEL S.A. > 69, rue de Paris > 91400 Orsay FRANCE > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf -- Ken Chase, math at velocet.ca * Velocet Communications Inc. * Toronto, CANADA

- To remove the seed, stick the lower end of the knife into the seed. Twist the knife and the seed will pop out.
(Note: I have cut the avocado in halves instead of length-wise because I feel that cutting it in halves minimizes the surface of the avocado exposed to air so it won't turn brown as much. Keeping the seed will also help.)
When it comes to feeding Baby G, nutrition is the most important factor that I consider. Babies need a lot of brain food, or so-called "super food" for their ever-developing brain.
One super baby food is avocado, which is recommended by a renowned pediatrician Dr. William Sears. Avocado ranks #1 on his top ten list of fruits for babies because the nutritional value of avocado nutrition is excellent for a baby's growing development…
Avocado has a lot of nutrients, considering its unattractive bumpy exterior: protein, fiber, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, folic acid, zinc, Omega 3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fat (aka "good" fat), and the list goes on.
Avocado is also a fatty fruit and high in calories, hence a great fruit if your baby is under weight. It's good for babies 6 months and above.
For easy feeding, I always use a baby spoon to scrape the flesh of the avocado. It's so convenient and most importantly, my baby loves it.
To choose avocado, always look for the ones with dark green skin, which indicates the ripeness of the avocado. Many people don't know how to open an avocado (don't peel the skin!), so I have provided the easy step-by-step below:
How to Open an Avocado (click the gallery above for the step-by-step):
- Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise around the seed. Cut deep until the knife touches the seed.
- Twist and pull the two halves apart.
- To remove the seed, stick the lower end of the knife into the seed. Twist the knife and the seed will pop out.

Baby G and you are looking fine Bee ;)
We are so fortunate to be living in an era of information. That explains why the kids today are getting smarter and smarter… :)
I like to call Avocado nature's butter. This is the first time I'm seeing this variety. I'm used to larger avocados. Nice pics btw :-)
Those smaller avocados are called Has avocados, I've heard that they are supposed to be better for you. They do taste better as well. They make the best guac.
You mentioned about feeding your son porridge … could you share the recipe, pls? I introduced my son to the porridge past weekend and he didnt seem to enjoy it… I guess it wasn't as tasty as sweet potato. Thanks.
I like to feed this to my daughter too…and to myself, heehee :) Love avocados!
Baby G is so precious!!!
Yes avos are really good. Testimony: I fed my 3rd child plenty of avo when I migrated to Aussieland and for a 4 y.o now I can say she has an elephant's memory and really clever at most things. So..hurrah for Avos!!
You can get nice avocado at wulumuqi road in shanghai.. very fresh and good :)
Hello, Great job! This is my first time i visit here. I discovered so numerous fascinating stuff in your weblog.
Thanks for the wonderful info about feeding avocados to babies and easy tips!! Cute n cheerful baby!!
Do we need to steam / warm the avocado before give it to bb ? Or just give bb the raw avocado ?
Understand that we gotta steam the apple / pear for bb between 6 – 8 months … thanks in advance. :)
Avocados will not turn brown as quickly if you leave the stone in place until you finish it.
One of the best choices and nutritious food you can give to your baby.
Can I feed avacados to my 5 month old baby? I fed him apples, bananas, rice porridge and starting on pears now. He seems to love them. Thanks.

« In Which We Ransack Our Mind For What Is Not There »
You Live Alone
by LUCY MORRIS
For many months, here in New York, we lived each day like it was the last week of summer. I trust you know the kind: the late August nights when you stay up until dawn, as though – all knowledge to the contrary – it is the last time you will ever do so, cradling a glass in your hand as though you will never hold a drink like it again, and confiding to your friends like it's the last chance to get it all out before winter arrives. Only winter did not come. Yes, the days got shorter. I stood some lone, dark evenings in the flashing lights of First Avenue Indian restaurants, pretending they were the full-spectrum lamps used to treat seasonal depression, but it was by no means wool coat weather.
In late November, against all better judgment, I found myself steering someone home through Houston Street's aisles of Christmas trees. But the branches were snowless, and I took this as a sign that I could act without consequence: even nature doesn't know what's happening tonight. Suspended as we were in perpetual autumn, no ice in sight, it all seemed slightly intangible, like some Hollywood director's vision of winter – delirious on beer and promise, I told myself we were touring a movie set, not my own neighborhood.
Our sense of summer had never quite ended. I wondered if maybe it never would.
I was in no rush for summer to end, because it had been a constructive one for me. The apartment I had moved into with my older brother was finally complete after months of renovations. The walls were a pristine white, for at least a few weeks before bikes and boxes and daily life scuffed them up. The floors were so shiny I felt actually, deceptively, rich in a way I had not thought possible – considering my account balance.
Fixtures and furniture started to arrive. A crew from P.C. Richard came to cart the thirty-year-old stove away and, a few hours later, another team arrived with the new one. I greeted a locksmith late one night when our front door surrendered to age and humidity and simply refused to open. If I had been in another kind of mental space, the kind I'd been in for much of the preceding year, this might have seemed like a metaphor. But, I was finding, something happens when you are genuinely content: you spend less time thinking in figurative language. The literal suffices.
By the end of May, I had an apartment where I was happy to wake up, a room where I was thankful to fall asleep. I wondered how just having my own bed might have altered the last few years. The majority of that time had been spent living in the homes of boyfriends. I phrase it that way because I mean that I moved into their lives with heaps of boxes and duffels. The homes were not mine to make, but ones to try to make my own. This was not a task I ever accomplished, perhaps because I was never quite confident that the payoff would be worth the inconvenience of packing it all up again. That I was right to be hesitant about digging in – to hang onto my dingy college-era sheets, to keep my books on separate shelves, to hold onto the boxes I came with – does not bring me the same satisfaction that intuition proven correct usually does. When I left – and I always did – I had no furniture to take with me.
The last delivery that arrived was a new bed. It was the first one that I could say belonged strictly to me. The first night I slept in it, I thought it was the most restful sleep I'd ever had.
At the same time as I settled into my new apartment, I returned to my office translation job after months of telecommuting from other cities. It took just a few weeks of long days ticked away in a windowless room while summer erupted outside to convince me I had to quit. Something had changed: it seemed that this was no longer what I wanted. It was still months before Zuccotti, when the sentiment appeared in op-eds and Times Square protests and tents in the park, but it had begun to dawn on me that there might be some alternative to spending the majority of my waking hours helping other people get rich.
Living especially frugally seemed like a reasonable tradeoff for being in control of my own time. I was acutely aware that this is a privilege of my age, a privilege of someone without real responsibility but with the reckless conviction that one day I will be able to make up for what I am deficient in now: for a lack of sleep and unbalanced diet and utter absence of savings.
But as it turned out, I picked up one freelance client, and then another, and still one more, until I could afford greens and happy hour drinks again. The sense of poise and control I felt perched at my living room desk with Cyrillic texts on my screen, even as early summer sweat dripped down the crevices of my back, was one I had never before experienced. No relationship I'd ever been in had brought me the same sense of command.
You see, I had for some time been using my youth and the presumed shortsightedness that accompanied it as an excuse for dubious relationship decisions: I'm twenty-two was the fundamental justification for everything I did in 2010 and then, even when I was no longer in fact twenty-two, for much of 2011. Although little of it was productive, the pursuit of romance above all else was, to my constant surprise, accepted by almost everyone around me. The common narrative is that doing anything for love is okay, provided that it works out, even if it doesn't last forever.
I was realizing, in my own slow way, that if you are going to use age as a pretext at all, it might as well be for more interesting risks than dramatic, costly gestures and the kind of absurd late night declarations you make just to see if you can. To my surprise, waking up to a job I love is on the whole much more satisfying than waking up next to someone I loved once was. When you are young, it can be alarmingly easy and not even especially scarring to forget someone with whom you once spent every night. But I can say now with some minor authority that it is significantly more wrenching to forget, even just for a little while, what it is you want to do, and who it is you want to be.
Working from home changed everything, including my schedule. I awoke not to a succession of alarms that ensured I make the train, but to e-mails from courteous clients in Moscow whose faces I had never seen, whom I came to know only through pleasantries and requests and invoices. I adjusted to daily deadlines not of five p.m. but of one a.m., the hour at which Russia starts waking up. I began to live eight hours ahead of myself. But rather than feeling rushed, as I had in my old, harried office life, time started to seem open and infinite. There was my entire New York day, and then there was my Russian day, too, if I wanted it. And I often did, because in the daytime it was too hot to do much of anything besides work.
Our apartment had one ancient air conditioning unit left behind by former tenants, but its very hum made me anxious, a constant reminder of an escalating ConEd bill, so I refused to turn it on. When it got too hot to think, I shut my eyes for a while. When it got too hot to sleep, I slipped on my shoes, stuck three $1 bills in the waistband of the boxers I slept in, and went to Ray's on Avenue A for frozen yogurt. "I'm going to have to order more chocolate just for you," ancient Ray himself told me late one night, but his lopsided grin told me that he didn't mind. During the day here, when the heat is pressing in from all sides, the actions of every fellow inhabitant feel like a personal affront. But at nighttime, when a slight breeze starts to blow in from the water around us, a kind of broad generosity returns: you remember that nobody really minds much of anything when it is night and it is summer and it is New York.
In those moments, weaving gingerly, cone in hand, between towers of trash bags and tipsy, tottering women, I could see how different things can be when you live alone. In the presence of someone else, a two am ice cream run might have seemed at best indulgent; at worst, embarrassing. But now I could come and go at any hour I pleased. I wasn't obligated to text anyone my whereabouts. I no longer experienced that tug to leave the party early, to go home to whomever was waiting. No boyfriend had ever explicitly asked this of me — it was no fault of theirs — but like many people, and perhaps women in particular, I had for a long time been unable to distinguish between habit or expectation and actual desire. As is also common, I had not felt the weight of this unvoiced obligation until it was lifted.
Lying on my bed reading with the windows open to the roar of St. Mark's Place, on winding late night walks home alone through Greenwich Village, on jogs along the East River and standing still in the rush of a cold shower afterward, my mind kept returning to a piece of a poem in Eileen Myles' Inferno. I turned it over in my head and lobbed it in emails to friends scattered around the world, recited it aloud to an audience of just myself:
I don't think
I can afford the time to not sit right down &
write a poem
I don't write poetry, but I was beginning to spend the hours I no longer wasted commuting writing instead. Something unexpected was happening: in the relative absence of men, who had staked out space in my brain for so long, there was new mental real estate opening up. It was as though when I had moved my belongings out, I had cleared way for the psychic space to think seriously about writing the poem – in my case, a metaphorical poem – to which Myles referred.
I hauled my laptop to Think Coffee on Fourth Avenue, where the conversation of the NYU summer school students around me proved sufficiently uninteresting as not to distract me. I couldn't begrudge them their revelatory undergrad discoveries of Foucault and Marx: I, too, was undergoing internal transformations, and like them I wanted to espouse it to everyone I encountered. I wanted to tell the friends holed up at home with their boyfriends, the ones who still left the party early, to resist the impulse, to stay out just a little longer, to see what might be available if they did – a bevy of rooftops, new people, glimpses into other apartments and psyches and lives that, too, could be theirs, if only they allowed for it.
Aware that this would make me the most insufferable kind of friend, I said nothing, just as they had said nothing to me when I had been doing the same as them. I recalled that there was a hedonism to living with someone you loved: whiling away Saturdays in bed, goading each other into take-out, succumbing to the lazy pleasure of not even having to leave the house to see your favorite person. Meandering my own neighborhood paths on weekend afternoons, I spotted these couples: ice coffees in hand, limbs intertwined on the benches of Tompkins Square Park, adrift on planets of two. I readily recognized their happiness. But with a clarity that startled me, I recognized, too, that this was no longer – or at least for now – the kind of happiness I wanted.
Without a live-in companion, and after a day of working in the solitude of my apartment, I found that I was newly outgoing. I had my whole life identified as shy, perhaps even socially anxious in a clinical sense, but now I wondered if my sociability had simply been a gene late to come to fruition, much in the way my hair abruptly turned curly at age twelve.
When I met my daily deadlines, I closed my computer and went out. I walked to my budget gym, where East Village girls in harem pants and Converse sweated on treadmills. I came home and cooked collards in a partial state of undress, sweaty but aware that a chill was now in the air, that eating warm meals was again an option. I went out again after dinner for drinks, to readings, on walks around Alphabet City. "Headlines" and "I'm On One" were blaring on car stereos. I thought I might break into a sprint at any moment. It did not seem inconceivable that nobody would notice, and that in itself was comforting, a confirmation of the liberties of being alone.
What I felt for my friends, which had always been somewhat romantic in its profundity and complexity, was suddenly unconfined by the pressures of loving someone else. I went for evening beers with new friends and afternoon coffee with ones I hadn't seen in years. With the serious friends, the ones I thought of essentially as long-term partners, the mutual infatuation was limitless: when we went home for the night, we texted; from our desks the next day, we e-mailed. It was unambiguously pants weather now, and I kept expecting the real cold to come and hibernation season to set in. But it never quite happened. We kept venturing out.
Many evenings I would go to Brooklyn and hours later careen myself home on the L, barely conscious of my own itinerary. On these subway nights alone, my awareness of where I was extended just far enough to know that I was glad to be there alone. I had been feeling some appreciation for this late night solitude for a while, six or seven months now at least, the knowledge that I had for a long time been by far my favorite person to go home with and wake up to and cook breakfast for.
I recalled a time when I lived with a boyfriend, and the subway rides home to the life and house we shared felt excruciatingly long, an MTA-contrived plot to delay the pleasure of his company, our shared dinner, a movie on the couch. Now the ride itself was its own pleasure. Each time I got on the train, I wondered how far it could take me.
Eventually, in barely perceptible ways, independent of the weather and the spirit in the air – that summer commitment to no consequences, that sense of urban invincibility – a real seasonal change began to manifest. The tomatoes at the farmers market gave way to squash, to Brussels sprouts; the greens I'd hauled home in tote bags all summer began to dwindle, the potatoes appeared. One by one, I took fans out of windows. The temperatures were in the fifties on Thanksgiving Day, but there were sweet potatoes all the same. The seasons had changed in spite of themselves; no matter how late we stayed out sharing our secrets, there was nothing we could do to halt the cycle entirely.
The morning I awoke with the guy I'd led home through the Lower East Side, I was hit with a sense of something new: this was what it meant to bring someone home. It was not that I was new to the practice, exactly, it was just that I had never before had the sense of having a home, Tolstoy prints on the wall, all my shoes, all my books, all my thoughts in one place.
There were already e-mails on my phone from the Russians. I walked the guy to the train and then I continued on alone, no destination in mind. With a gratitude that originated deep in my chest and swelled upwards, out into a wide smile, I felt the limitless promise that I had begun to sense when I woke up every day in that bed of my own: the promise of Lower Manhattan streets stretched out around me and a pocket full of songs to guide the way, of croissants and morning conversation with a friend at a café on Avenue A, of hours of translating – that special retreat into the world of words that both pleased me immensely and paid the rent on the place that I liked so much. The sun was pulling up into the sky over the East River, which I had come to think of, selfishly but in a mental effort to distinguish it from the Hudson, as my river. I had my river. I had a new book to read.
