(RNS) The King James Bible, translated from ancient Greek and Hebrew in 1611, is, by virtually all accounts, the most awe-inspiring work of English prose ever written.
Over the past four centuries, the KJV has sold more than 5 billion copies. Its exquisite English text has circulated the globe in the hands of missionaries and graced the homes of kings, pastors and peasants. Its lofty language has been repeated over pulpits and podiums, in prayers and poetry, by teachers and travelers.
The words are so familiar that some believers may think that's how God actually talks. Here, then, is an overview of how this world-changing work came to be.
Why did King James commission a Bible?
In 1604, English-speaking Christians were using several versions of the text, including Tyndale's New Testament, Coverdale's Bible, Matthew's Bible, the Great Bible, the Geneva Bible and the Rheims New Testament. Each translation represented a slightly different theological turn and was embraced by diverse groups of believers.
Upon ascending to the English throne, James ordered a new version, said Norman L. Jones, chairman of Utah State University's history department, because he felt there were too "many arguments over what the text meant."
James wanted a Bible that would appeal to everyone, author Adam Nicolson wrote in his 2003 book, "God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible": "And as God's lieutenant on Earth, he would use it to unify his kingdom."
But the book went far beyond any earthly propaganda.
"Its subject is majesty, not tyranny, and its political purpose was unifying and enfolding," Nicolson wrote. "To elide the kingliness of God with the godliness of kings."
Who did the translating and how did they do it?
Nicolson described the team of translators as "a gaggle of 50 or so black-gowned divines whose names are almost unknown but whose words continue to resonate with us."
Six groups of scholars working at various universities were assigned parts of the book. Ten met at Westminster to translate Genesis through 2 Kings; seven others had the New Testament epistles. At Cambridge, eight worked on 1 Chronicles through Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs, while seven others handled the Apocrypha.
At Oxford, seven scholars tackled Isaiah through Malachi, and eight more took up the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles and Revelation.
Ultimately, their version relied heavily on the language used in the Geneva and Tyndale Bibles, Nicolson wrote, "winnowing the best from the past."
They didn't view themselves as writers and their anonymity may have been the key to the book's grandeur.
"It is not the poetry of a single mind, nor the effusion of a singular vision, nor even the product of a single moment," he wrote, "but the child of an entire culture stretching back to the great Jewish poets and storytellers of the Near Eastern Bronze Age."
What was the contemporary response to it?
Though it was immediately embraced by most Anglican clergy, not everyone was favorably impressed, Philip Barlow, the chairman of religious studies at Utah State University, wrote in a recent article in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought.
Some thought its English was "barbarous" and its scholarship lacking, he wrote.
Barlow cited a prominent churchman of the time, Hugh Broughton, who said he would rather "be rent in pieces by wild horses, than any such translation by my consent should be urged upon poor churches."
Gradually, though, the language of the King James Bible became so entwined with the popular mind, Barlow wrote, that "by the 18th century many Protestants felt it blasphemous to change it or even to point out the inadequacies of its scholarship."
The text became the basis for some of the most lyrical English poetry ever written and the subject of endless Bible-as-literature classes on college campuses throughout the English-speaking world. And, though its wording has been challenged by subsequent translators, the language of King James continues to inspire and attract students and readers of all kinds.
"There are lots of way to understand 'accuracy,"' said Jacqueline Osherow, an English professor who can read the original Hebrew text and teaches a Bible literature class at the University of Utah. "The Hebrew Bible is so poetic and beautiful. If you are rending it in a prosaic manner, you are losing out on a certain essential accuracy -- the poetic."

So a comedian undergoing glaucoma treatment walks into the Cognac Room at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan. He's wearing a Mets cap and the black jeans that he might have slept in. He swigs some coffee and complains about a 2 p.m. wake-up call, which is understandable once he explains he went to bed at 9 a.m.
"I haven't eaten yet today. I don't know what time it is. Who am I? Where am I? What city? What hour?" says Bill Maher, gazing out the window at a grim November sky. "May I use this interview as a one-issue diatribe against daylight savings? Fucking farmers. For the sake of two or three giant agribusinesses, the rest of us have to suffer. The one time we need more light, they take it away."
Story Continued Below
Outside on 55th Street, a pedestrian spots Maher, bangs on the window and cocks his fist in a gesture of solidarity. It should be noted that this passerby is black—as are a considerable number of Maher's fans (and not just those he's dated, a roster that includes several black women of the curvaceous gentlemen's club variety). In explaining the popularity that a pallid Irish-Jew from New Jersey would enjoy with African Americans, New York magazine once quoted Christopher "Kid" Reid, a Maher confidante and one half of the hip-hop duo Kid 'n' Play. "What people of color like about Bill is his honesty," he said. "Black people can smell fear in white people. They're like bloodhounds. When Bill and I hang out, and there are people of color around, they gravitate to him."
To be sure, Maher's fearlessness explains his political posture: He's unapologetically liberal, populist and outraged. Accordingly, he's a bête noire to conservatives and inspires their fury even when his commentary veers away from the political. Just last week, he found himself the target of another right-wing freakout after making a crack about the Boston marathon bombing on Real Time with Bill Maher, the HBO show he's hosted since 2003. Maher took issue on air with the recent Boston Red Sox World Series victory parade, during which a convoy of professional athletes paused with no little amount of fanfare to deposit the team's 2013 trophy on the marathon finish line, a tribute to victims that Maher deemed a little mawkish.
"I mean, your city was not leveled by Godzilla," he said.
It was a tin-eared joke, but Maher (who is, as it happens, a minority owner of the New York Mets), wasn't mocking the victims. He was poking fun at the tacky, compulsory patriotism that gets plastered so casually to public spectacle, especially in sports. So infuriating is Maher to his critics, however, that nuance invariably acquiesces to cliché.
"Bill Maher is a national disgrace," wrote Jeffrey T. Kuhner in the first line of a Washington Times op-ed last week. Kuhner also called Maher an "example of America's cultural rot," a "hate merchant" who "needs at last to be taught a lesson" and a "textbook case of the severe damage drugs do to the brain," before suggesting a boycott of HBO.
If this sounds familiar, it should. In September 2001, Maher was hosting ABC's Politically Incorrect, the progenitor of Real Time, when he made the mistake of uttering the following about the Sept. 11 suicide bombers: "Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." ABC soon canceled Maher's show, and America was soon munching on "freedom" fries. But Maher, who took his act, and most of his staff, to HBO, managed to stay politically incorrect, exuberantly so—and there he remains, a dozen years later, a poison barb in the hide of the GOP.
Maher is our one TV host who is well and truly angry; a pugnacious debater and a healthy corrective to the claptrap of cable news.
It's sadly amusing that so many Americans now get their political news via comedy—sad even to a comedian paid handsomely to dispense it. "You can read the CliffsNotes but you should read the book too," Maher told me. But rarely has American politics been more laughable. Which means Maher has never been more popular. Today, Real Time is reaching a record-high 4.1 million viewers, an impressive figure for a show that appears only on premium cable and is available in only a third of the country. Maher's concerned handlers mention the numbers at every opportunity, as if anxious to reassure the 57-year-old host, who can't help but occasionally worry aloud about the show somehow being cancelled.
But Maher bereft of his platform would be a loss for everyone, even the haters. The truth is, the snide satirists like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert rarely risk the lasting enmity of the lunatic fringe; this is our one TV host who is well and truly angry—a pugnacious debater with an acerbic wit that hits audiences as a healthy corrective to the claptrap of cable news. Like one of his heroes, George Carlin, Maher uses humor to scourge. He can be hilariously mean. On the night before we meet at the St. Regis, he performs his stand-up routine at the Beacon Theatre on Broadway. He abuses Republicans like Napoleon Dynamite on a tetherball.
Consider Maher on Ted Cruz: "the wit of Justin Bieber and the people skills of Scarface."
On Sarah Palin: "perhaps the least qualified public servant since Caligula nominated his horse."
And Newt Gingrich: a "man with the moral compass of the pimp from Taxi Driver. A guy who—this is true—left his first wife when she got cancer, left his second wife when she got MS. … But I think the deeper question is: How come when Newt Gingrich fucks you, you get very, very sick?"
The audience, which includes Jerry Seinfeld, who came up with Maher in the New York comedy scene, roars in approval. Stand-up keeps Maher sharp. It also informs his HBO show. Although conservatives label him—not incorrectly—a limousine liberal because he lives comfortably in Los Angeles and pals around with Hollywood types, Maher is on the road almost every weekend doing stand-up, often in red states.
"It's good. I mean, you do see America in a way that I don't think a lot of people do—up close and personal," Maher tells me. "I'm like the old-fashioned spy service. I'm not a satellite up there. I'm actually on the ground, getting human intel."

Medical authorities have suspended the licence of a Seattle anaesthesiologist for allegedly sending explicit "selfies" and exchanging sexy text messages during surgeries.
The findings against 47-year-old Arthur K. Zilberstein, released on Monday by the Washington state Department of Health, detail nearly 250 text messages with sexual innuendo he exchanged during procedures - all kinds of procedures, including Caesarean deliveries, paediatric appendectomies, epidurals, tubal ligations and cardiac-probe insertions.
He compromised patient safety with his "preoccupation with sexual matters" from at least April through to August 2013, Washington state health authorities said on Monday.
During a cardiac probe insertion procedure, he allegedly exchanged 26 text messages "including explicit sexual comments", according to the official statement of charges.
During a stomach surgery, he reportedly exchanged 45 texts "with sexual innuendo" in less than an hour and a half. And he's accused of exchanging 18 "with sexual innuendo" during a Caesarean - in one of which, he texted: "I'm hella busy with C sections."
In one of Dr Zilberstein's texts in July 2013, he reportedly invited his girlfriend to come to the hospital where he was working and told her he would let her into the doctors' carpark so she wouldn't have to pay for parking. Not two hours later, he texted her again and told her - in detail - of his immediate sexual urge for her, according to the charges.
And then there were the picture sexts. Dr Zilberstein allegedly sent selfies to a patient while wearing his hospital badge and scrubs - with his genitals exposed. The images were accompanied by some risque messages. In one text, he wrote: "Oh. And my [work] partner walked in as I was pulling up my scrubs. I'm pretty sure he caught me."
He is also accused of looking at private medical records for his own sexual gratification, having sexual rendezvous at work and issuing at least 29 unauthorised prescriptions.
A phone call and emails sent to Dr Zilberstein seeking comment on Monday evening were not immediately returned.
Dr Zilberstein has been in practice since 1995, public records show. He worked at Swedish Medical Centre in Seattle, which released a statement on Monday:
"Once we learned that the State had suspended this physician's medical licence, the physician's Medical Staff membership and privileges were immediately suspended. We just recently learned of these allegations and are conducting our own internal review of the physician, who is not directly employed by Swedish."
Dr Zilberstein will not be permitted to practise medicine in Washington until his charges are resolved. He has 20 days to respond to the charges and request a hearing.

Percy is quite a common contraction of Percival, at least in the UK; it's used far more often than the full name. Indeed, I don't recall Percy Weasley being referred to even once in the books as "Percival"; it's always "Percy", just as his brothers are always referred to as "Bill", "Charlie" and "Fred", never as "William", "Charles" or "Frederic".
In British and Australian English, "percy" is also slang for a certain part of the male anatomy; and another slang word for the same member, also five letters long and beginning with "p", is also slang for an extremely unpleasant person. Thus "Percy" fits Percy Weasley's personality in another way, though this may be coincidence. -- RobertATfm 10:08, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Isn't he supposed to have horn-rimmed glasses? In the books that's how J.K. described him, or did I read wrong?

Family dispute
The first paragraph from the Family dispute section, specifically the last two sentences, borrows quite liberally from the 5th book. I'm no copyright guru but I think that needs reworded or be quoted directly from the book. --Wrightek 13:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Year born?
I'm somewhat confused about Percy's age. J.K. Rowling stated that Bill is the eldest, Charlie is two years younger than Bill, Percy is three years younger than Charlie, Fred and George are two years younger than Percy, Ron is two years younger than Fred and George and Ginny is a year younger than Ron. We know Ron is born the same year as Harry which is 1980. But how come on this website and every other website, Percy appears to be four years younger than Charlie (Percy being born in 1976, Charlie in 1972). But shouldn't Charlie be 1973 and Bill 1971. I'm confused. Am I missing something here or has Rowling made an error? Please reply via my talk page! --RandomEnigma 21:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Good point. It even has the same bithdates over on the HP Lexicon. Of course, numbers and dates never were JKR's strong suit. - Nick O'Demus 23:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Just remembered, Percy was born 22/8, which was right before the September 1st deadline. So he just barely slipped in being three years behind Charlie at Hogwarts instead of four. - Nick O'Demus 23:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, She even said math was not her strong point. ha --Profiteor (Owl Me) 23:57, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Was Percy late in passing his Apparition test? Wizards can take the test once they turn 17 (which for Percy, like Harry, is between his 6th and 7th year), yet he only passed the test in the summer after his 7th year. Presumably there would have been at least one (possibly two) test dates after his 17th birthday and before the end of his 7th year - The summer test date after 6th year (equivalent to the one Harry would have taken) and the ~easter one during his 7th year (equivalent to the one Hermione and Ron took in their 6th). 18.104.22.168 21:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- He may not have wanted to take his test until later. Doesn't really sound like him, but it's a possibility.--Matoro183 (Talk) 21:30, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
A loophole in Rowlings story?
In the Chamber of Secrets Percy takes five house points off Gryffindor because Ron accuses him of simply telling him off for going into a girls toilet because it might damage his reputation. But then in the Order of the Phoenix Hermione says that if the inquisitorial squad set up by Umbridge could take away house points it would completely undermine the prefect system, as though prefects could not take away house points. Can anyone explain?- JACOBSMITH95
- This was a mistake on JKR's part. She later explained that prefects do have the ability to take points, just not from other prefects. --Cubs Fan2007 (Talk to me) 22:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, - JACOBSMITH95
Why is he considered a traitor? He was wrong about Voldemort coming back, alright, but that doesn't mean the Weaselys had to get in an immense fight with him. Shieldmaiden(talk) 22:18, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
Nationality of actor
Hi, I saw in the article about Percy Weasley that Chris Rankin is called a british actor. But on the site of Chris Rankin you can read under nationality: New Zealander. Is a New Zealander a British? Commonwealth - yes, but british? It may be, but I don't know. Harry granger 21:39, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Anything positive?
Am I the only one who noticed that almost everything in this article is extremely negetive? Aren't there any positive thing that can be said about him? Some people seem to hate him more then the death eaters. It just seems a little ridiculas to me. He's not that freaking bad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- The problem is not a lot of positive things are known about him. In most of his appearances he is somehow negative. Please always sign talk page entries using 4 tildes (~). -Shorty1982 11:08, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
Hey I am writing a hogwarts (fan) story on quizazz and i'm trying to make it as exact as posible.. When Percy is introduceing himself to others(that can't help him getting a higher social rank) How does he say it? does he call himself Percy Weasley or does he use Percival Weasley? or maybe his full name Percival Ignatius Weasley? or does he say it in some other way?
Please help a new author making a better story (not better than the actual story just better meaning better than my story would be if I didn't use actual facts) :)
- Percy reads out his full name as "Percy Ignatius Weasley" in Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 8. Thus Percy isn't short for Percival in canon. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 22:00, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Ok thank you ^_^
ok someone change it back it isnt that good of a picture and the other one before looked better thanks
"The late" Fred?
As far as I'm aware, the policy is that articles on this wiki are written from the perspective of future historians writing about things in the far distant past. This being so, does it make sense to uniquely refer to Fred as "the late Fred"? People are generally only referred to as "the late" if they have recently died; from the point of view of those historians, everyone in the article is long-dead, so Fred shouldn't be referred to as "the late" simply because he happened to be the first to die. -- RobertATfm (talk) 06:02, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
High-ranking official?
I've heard and read many times how Percy Weasley ended up as a high-ranking official... But... When he went from being Junior Assistant to the Minister to being Head of Magical Transportation, wasn't he strictly speaking, demoted? Isn't being part of the Minister for Magic's Support Staff higher up in the system than heading a department? Ninclow 16:30, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
- An assistant is someone who assists in day-to-day business, having little to no power of decision over any matters; in that position, Percy would've been handling paperwork, arranging schedules, and keeping protocol. The Head of Magical Transportation (or any Head of Department, for that matter) has actual say in matters, being one of the top government decision-makers in the country. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:37, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
In the Behind the Scenes section it says the following:
- One trait that Percy had in common with his first two bosses Bartemius Crouch Snr and Cornelius Fudge was that he was willing to put his career ambitions over anything else, including the relationships with his family and friends. However, unlike Fudge and Crouch Snr, Percy was able to break out of this mould after seeing the error of his ways. Additionally Percy never had to go through an incident that would have destroyed his reputation at the Ministry.
However i would think his 'recieving letters from Bartemius Crouch Snr. Scandal. is quite an incidient that destroyed his reputation enought to make his family think it impossible to legitemately get promoted at the Ministry of Magic.

Forgive me, I haven't been keeping up with the Pussy Riot story — this is just the worst possible time of the year for me, with classes starting tomorrow. But I strongly recommend Eric Macdonald's summary: this is a collusion between an old school tyrant, Putin, and the Russian Orthodox church to silence criticism, and to promote an unthinking, dogmatic nationalism. It's not just Russia, either, but similar forces are at work in the United States, where God and Country are deeply entangled, and it's a recipe for world-wide catastrophe.
The problem with Pussy Riot is that they see this clearly, and their music opposes both czar and patriarch. Look at their latest video and you can see their contempt for both.
(You don't like their music? Tough. I thought it was wonderfully loud and angry and political, and if you don't care for it, I'm pretty sure Lawrence Welk is still available in reruns on cable. Also, you don't have to like it to respect the freedom of artists to express themselves.)
There's also a third cause they're clearly opposing: the historical confinement of women to very specific gender roles. I don't know exactly what is going on in Russia, but it seems to be the women who are leading the charge against tyranny. Take a look at the Ukrainian FEMEN, too. Women are becoming the bravest of us all.
They aren't just fighting against a tyrant and orthodoxy, but against the gender police. I've got to admire that.

Tommy Sheridan on Celebrity Big Brother: the Madness of George II
Oh. My. God. He actually did it. Tommy Sheridan leaps in where angels fear to tread and gets a new bail address.
After MP George Galloway's performance in the 2006 Celebrity Big Brother season 6, where he took the awesome combat skills he'd wielded to such great effect in the US Senate on the issue of the Iraq war and used them on his sweet young co-contestants, you'd think politicians would give reality shows a wide berth. Shooting minnows with a bazooka is not something the British public considers endearing. Yet. What profit a man that he gain a radio show but lose the respect of the multitudes ?
Is Tommy, a former Scottish Socialist Party MSP and now Solidarity leader, like all politicians — so in love with himself he assumes that to see him is to love him? Well, he's managed to get me calling him the more familiar "Tommy" instead of "Sheridan", so there's a start.
Last night Tommy risked all during a crucial period when he is under investigation for perjury, and entered the CBB house along with ten other "celebrities" (can socialists please unpack that term?). He got the worst reception of all with the crowd booing his entrance. Even the hardened Davina McCall called it, "Harsh". Considering so few of the Big Brother audience even knows who he is, arousing so raucous a response took some doing.
Davina went on: "He thinks the Big Brother House will be more regimented than prison." Ooh, there's a swipe. Ratting on his claim to a "great friendship with George Galloway" probably did him few favours with this particular audience, either.
You have to admire his chutzpah for playing his hand like this with so much at stake. He is probably more desperate than any of the other contestants, and that's in a line-up that includes Ulrika Johnson. Tommy wants a wider audience as a Man of the People. Great. That's the entire CBB audience who will now be finding out what it is, exactly, the perjury charge is about.
Mind you, he could come out of it better the way Robert Kilroy Silk did from I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, when he waded through crap and creepy-crawlies for our amusement and never complained. Do we think Tommy will likewise make us proud of him? What helped Kilroy, of course, was the addition of Timmy Mallet, the evil shrimp with the serial killer laugh, against whom even a steaming pile of poo would look good. But I'm not so sure there's a villain in the CBB house who'll make him shine.
Rapper Coolio's temper and sexism (he doesn't want any "ugly chicks" in the house) might afford Tommy the opportunity to show he has the Right Stuff. But remember how Galloway sucked up to Dennis Rodman in 2006? Will fear of conflict with an alpha male and the urge to male-bond override Tommy's anti-sexist credentials? (Fnaargh! I just read what I wrote there!) It'll be down to what's expedient, what's principled, and won't that give us lots of fun working out which is which?
Will he acquit himself? They're all on their best behaviour now but will the dreaded finger-wagging creep into his interactions as conditioned by years on the left? He does have 20 years with Militant, remember.
The game will be to see who reverses expectations. Terry Christian has already impressed me with his observation that our political masters don't want us participating in politics, and his story about the Lancashire publican during World War II who responded to the US officer's demand that he instate a colour bar with a sign saying, "Black troops only", was quite moving. Can Tommy do it? Can he repress the urge to blurt "And another thing, comrades ...".
George Galloway gives his chum tips for success in The Daily Record: "Don't get involved in any arguments. Although history has absolved me re sleazy Michael Barrymore and sneaky Preston, at the time, I paid the ultimate price - eviction after 22 days." George, you are delusional, mate. Did you not learn anything?
Poor George suffered mightily and cried all the way to a massive radio show. And now Tommy can count on the support of Galloway's 800,000 listeners, plus The Daily Record, Tommy being their pin-up, a bit like Lucy Pinder in the Star.
It would be great to see him representing socialism at its best but I have a horrible feeling in my gut that has nothing to do with seasonal over-indulgence.

Also blogging on Tommy in CBB, AVPS and Splinty.

Ha ha ha... just wait for them to break out the leotards. On second thoughts, maybe not.
It's up to him though isn't it? George really shouldn't have been there, but he behaved in such a bad way he undermined himself. Tommy shouldn't be there, but if he plays his cards right people might warm to him.
And then there's always Talksport. With George's enemies like Whale and Gaunty exiting, there may just be a spare slot...

...Exactly! There's always talksport. Galloway first and Sheriday second didn't get on Big Brother because of narcissism. No. Never.

Narcissism, Claude? How can you impugn the fine reputations of our fabulous socialist leaders like this? They make these noble sacrifices in order to advance the class. I know it's true coz they told us so.
- 3 January 2009 at 17:35
Well at least in Britain your left is given the public space to act a fool. We have to do all of ours in private....
- 3 January 2009 at 18:01
Delicious run down Mme M. What astounds me is that way in which celeb culture, having been embraced by the political establishment, also functions as a conventient absorber of charismatic leftists. What better way to neutralize dissent than to broadcast the ritual humiliation of characters like Galloway & Sheridan.
Delighted to have come across your blog. Will be back.

I doubt I could add anything to this, far to much has already been said about this infantile program and the self publicizing contestants who appear on it.
That the only politicians the capitalist media can get to appear on BB, have come from the left, should tell us all a great deal about our movements shortcomings.
With the middle east once again going up in flames, when employers are threatening to cut working class peoples wages and benefits, we get yet another self proclaimed leading leftists entering the big brother house.
If there is a joke to be had out of this it is on us, that I am sure. Is it any surprise working class people are reluctant to vote for us when people like Mr Sheridan are on a suicide mission. Lets hope the money men and C4 have promised him paradise.
- 3 January 2009 at 19:01
I must admit I do agree with Mick and actually hope that sexist Tommy 'class fighter' Sheridan is on a suicide mission and he disappears into political oblivion after the perjury investigation. He appearing on BB sums up his shallowness, arrogance and vanity.
And Sheridan and his ilk give socialism a very very bad name...
He shafted the SSP with his desperation to hypocritically uphold bourgeois family values....Sheridan betrayed the class and I wish he would just feck off.

Gosh just read Harpymarx and she/he said exactly what I was going to write.
The Tanned One is in the BB house for 2 reaqsons and 2 reasons only - to trouser £x grande heard rumours of £50,000 and to get his fix of narcisstic supply.
I can't believe I knew this man, worked beside and at times looked up to him. I will never forget seeing him at a demo when I was 20 - it was electrifying but those days have gone and now I hate him though pity him for becoming what he has become - a shoallow self serving narcisstic arse. The Tanned One gave up on socialism a long time ago that is what the nonsense with his case against the Murdoch News International was about - chasing power, fame and wealth.
Its a sad day! And I will not watch it I will read the highlights in the Metro.
- 4 January 2009 at 00:32
- Madam Miaow said...
Hi Cat. According to the Scotsman, it's £100,000.
Harpy's right.
BTW, you and I have more in common than you probably know.
Exploitation, sexism, bullying, lying, wholesale cynicism, elitism, cronyism and basic incompetence are rife in the left. We had a window after Blair got in to build the left before the inevitable happened. And now look at it! "Shibboleths" and "white socialists".

This must be strange for you, Renegade, and Rustbelt, seeing it all fall apart here. Even though there's a surge in activity due to Gaza, there's nothing substantial taking root. It's all been demolished by Glorious Leaders over the past few years. Blasted to smithereens and atomised in a puff of ego.
I'm sure there are some who'd place the rot earlier than that but within my experience there's been a marked decay with naked self-interest, opportunism and careerism taking hold.
I'm saddened that we haven't been able to offer more hope to you guys across the pond.

Poor old John Rees, I guess he is just not famous enough to take the channel 4 shilling when he is bounced by the Comrades. Does the midnight shift on QVC beckon....
- 4 January 2009 at 09:27
- Madam Miaow said...
Strangely enough, Tony, QVC gets a large audience and it always surprises me when I find out which of my acquaintances watches it.
Also, one of my best mates is their techno-geek (LJ) and she does a bluddy good job under high pressure. It's great having a female friend who is a wiz when you can't work your video camera, or the computer won't recognise files, or the mobile wont sync up.
So, all far too good for that wanker.
Hmm, you pose an interesting question. What would be appropriate employment? Perhaps something where you address him with, "I'll have fries with that".
- 4 January 2009 at 12:04
- Cat said...
Poor John Rees I would not knock QVC though it can be rather soothing and the Day's Special Bargains are on at midnight not for the fainthearted in the world of telly shopping. I also worked in the Wimpy in the 80s - best job I ever had and Reesy boy just could not handle it. I wonder what he will do?
Yes the world has decended and as they say "no more heroes anymore". Whilst I have hatred in my blood and veins I feel sorry for those that promoted themselves as "Leaders" and then could not lead or succumbed to the dazzle of fame and fortune.
If the Tanned One is getting paid £100,000 good for him however the appeal for the News of the Screws has not happened yet, so he better spend it fast!
Anyway off to finish tidying up - can't lanquish on the setee in my jammies all day! No honestly I can't!

You comrades aren't the only ones who skulk about the house in their jimmy jams and dressing gowns.
I have sort of committed myself to watching BB in case I get any flak "as a socialist". And everyone seems to be very nice and jelling well. But it's only 48 hours in ...
- 4 January 2009 at 18:35
- Tony said...
Madam Miaow,
I have to admit that the bland certainties of QVC are not unknown in our house as my and the Mrs lock & lock collection can testify. Its the crack of Tupperware, I tell you!
And LJ Rich is very good.
Yes, I stand corrected, Rees is far to dishonest for QVC. Time Share maybe?
And for shame I have spent the day in my dressing gown....

Oh my god no wonder the revolution has taken so long we are all watching telly and lying about in our pyjamas and slippers - though in my defence whilst watching CBB6 (its awfy boring I don't think I will be able to keep it up) I sewed my new curtains I have been making for weeks now. I also have a sore eyeball from not removing my make up before going to bed. AHH!
Did The Tanned One reallyneed to do the stripper song so early in the day? The psychologist on Big Brother Little Brother according to text messages I got from chums was that he is "faking it"

The psychologist on Big Brother Little Brother according to text messages I got from chums was that he is "faking it"
And another said he was "stiff" on entry.
A perennial problem, t'would seem.
BTW, I can take your curtains and trump them with all my filing that was crapping up my desk a foot high, a ton of laundry, and finished off the Xmas Baileys. Hic!
Any advance on that? (Actually, curtains is impressive.)

Poor John Rees? He has been... what? No one told me nothing. I have just been reading up in my usual "I don't know shit about the left" style.
I can't believe he actually wrote this after all these years-
It was agreed that we need to adapt as an organisation to the changing political climate and concentrate on grass roots campaigns as opposed to a top-down approach.
I am laughing a lot. That is hilarious. He of all people should have known writing such heresy gets you thrown out of the SWP!
So whats the score? Is it safe to be a lefty again yet? Just shout charge! I am right behind you!

About Days Inventory Outstanding
Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), also known as Days Sales of Inventory (DSI), is an efficiency metric used to measure the average number of days a company holds inventory before selling it.
This ratio is industry specific and should be used to compare competitors and over time. Companies that create large machinery (such as Airplane manufacturers) are likely to have a higher DIO than a small retailer.
A declining ratio over time can indicate that a company is able to sell inventory at a quicker pace. An increasing ratio, generally a bad sign, can indicate a company held on to its outstanding inventory for a longer rate than usual.
DIO plays a crucial component in the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC), which is used to determine how long cash is tied up in working capital.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Wild card entrants Jarmila Gajdosova and Matthew Ebden combined to win the Australian Open mixed doubles title with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Lucie Hradecka and Frantisek Cermak on Sunday.
The Australian pair ousted second-seeded Elena Vesnina and Leander Paes in the second round and fifth-seeded Nadia Petrova and Mahesh Bhupathi in the quarterfinals.
They had two service breaks in each set and dropped twice in the match.
``As Australians it's incredible to play here,'' Ebden said. ``We've had an incredible time the last couple of weeks and we'll see you next year.''

Hearty Midwest Ranch Recipes
Dell's Branding Day Meat Loaf
Lyndy Ireland's sister Dell developed this ketchup-glazed meat loaf to feed crews hungry from long days in the corrals. "You need good food to do the work people do out here," Lyndy says.
Lyndy and Kenny Ireland use their Spanish-style house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, as both headquarters for their 2,000-acre ranch and as a bed and breakfast. Lyndy's great-grandfather built the house near the cottonwoods along South Dakota's Bad River in 1923 after saving enough alfalfa profits to upgrade from a cabin to a grand home built from a Sears kit.
Lazy Morning Sausage Pie
Lyndy Ireland cooks up breakfast favorites such as this classic biscuit mix recipe for her guests at Triangle Ranch in western South Dakota. She tops the Sausage Pie with refreshing salsa.
Six generations of prairie hospitality show in the meals Lyndy has served guests since she and her husband, Kenny, began hosting them on the ranch in 1996. The Triangle's meals, like those served to working cowboys and ranchers and ranch guests across the Great Plains, draw heavily on tradition, with ties to the chuck wagons of freedom-loving cowboys.
On this and the following slides are some of the Triangle Ranch's most popular recipes.
Baked Beans 'n' Bacon
Bacon and brown sugar punch up the salty-sweet flavors in this canned pork and beans fix-up from Triangle Ranch Bed and Breakfast. Use half this amount of bacon if you want to cut calories, fat and sodium. For a candied top, leave Baked Beans 'n' Bacon uncovered in the oven.
Chocolate Waffle Turtle Cookies
These turtle cookies are cooked in a waffle iron, not oven-baked. The recipe comes from the Triangle Ranch B&B in South Dakota.
Chocolate Waffle Turtle Cookies
Kate's Blue-Ribbon Coffee Cake
This cake, another of Lyndy's breakfast favorites, is full of streusel crunch. Because of that, it doesn't cut into perfect slices. "Shingle two slices dusted with confectioner's sugar beside the entree and not a crumb will be left," Lyndy says. It gets even better as you store it, covered, at room temperature. If Lyndy has streusel left over after making Kate's Blue-Ribbon Coffee Cake, she uses it to top ice cream or French toast.
At Lyndy's Triangle Ranch Bed and Breakfast, the morning meal might also include Favorite Frozen Fruit Cup, a combination of canned pineapple, frozen sliced strawberries, canned apricot halves and sliced bananas, all mixed with a syrup and frozen overnight.
Kate's Blue-Ribbon Coffee Cake
Chocolate Picnic Cake
A crunchy topping of walnuts, chocolate and sugar replaces the usual frosting on this rich and moist red-colored snack cake.
Broccoli Grape Salad
Juicy grapes and crunchy broccoli blend sweet flavors with another all-time favorite ranch ingredient: savory, salty bacon. It's a lighter side-dish salad that often appeals to the ladies in the group, Lyndy says.
Triangle Ranch Scalloped Corn
Diced green chile peppers give this baked and cheesy side dish character with some hotness. We like the crunch from the saltine crackers, too.
Cowboy hospitality and heritage
Visitors at South Dakota's Triangle Ranch are treated not only to Lyndy Ireland's ranch cuisine, but also to the family's long tradition of hospitality.
"From homestead days, a guest was to be celebrated," Lyndy says. "You treat them as you would want to be treated, offering your best, however simple that may be."
As guests gather in the dining room, family tradition surrounds them. Generations of china sit in a sideboard. A family Bible rests beside a Nativity scene that's on display year-round. A hutch shows off arrowheads found in the ranch's streambeds.
When Lyndy and Kenny (pictured at left) mark the home's history, they count it in Christmas Eves--86 so far, including the year Lyndy's dad rode his horse through chest-deep snow to bring her and her sisters a red-seated saddle. All this heritage also shows in such details as wooden floors scuffed by countless cowboy boots.
"I've thought many times of refinishing the floors," Lyndy says, "but these are the marks of my family."
(A version of this story appeared in Midwest Living® July/August 2009.)

I don't know how to resolve this problem.
A complete circuit consists of a 18,0 V battery (internal resistance r) and a resistor R. The terminal voltage of the circuit is 15,8 V and the current is 4,00 A. What is:
a) the internal resistor r of the battery.
b) the resistance R of the circuit resistor.
I am not sure how to resolve it. I know the Ohm's Law, but not sure how to apply it here.
Sorry for the basic question (just starting with Physics again after very long time).

So much to like about Week 4 ...
... Matt Ryan's moon shot to Roddy White with the unblemished Atlanta Falcons on the brink of a bad loss. The Houston Texans' defense imposing its will on the NFL. Getting the regular referees back, mistakes and all.
First, we have some Power Rankings accounting to address. We're at the point in the season when Team A beating Team B doesn't necessarily mean Team A will be ranked higher than Team B. Case in point: The Oakland Raiders upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 (by a thread). Of course, the Raiders didn't jump from No. 32 to the Steelers' spot in the rankings, considering Oakland has looked awful every other time out. The Minnesota Vikings upset the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, yet the Vikes still lag behind in the rankings because they just don't stack up, 22 on 22, on both teams' best day. The Indianapolis Colts beat those Vikings in Week 2, but of course, they trail Minnesota due to losses -- one a blowout and the other at home to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars.
On another note, there was a lot of Twitter traffic regarding this week's games. My favorite was a response to my tweet about the Cowboys' prime-time woes that addressed Dez Bryant's Monday night showing:
@harrison_nfl @movethesticks Worst 100 yd receiving performance ever?â Craig Salner (@CSalner) October 2, 2012
Not sure any wideout in football hurts his team more than No. 88 in Dallas, and where the 'Boys rank this week reflects that. As far as the other 31 clubs and your opinions ...
... come on with your come on. (As always, I'm available at @Harrison_NFL.)
(Note: Arrows reflect change in standings from last week's Power Rankings.)
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 4 | Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1
Houston's defense pretty much always keeps the pressure on. It's like the Banana Republic credit-card people, who start collection-calling you to death the moment your bill is due. (The second, actually.) #firstworldproblems
Boy, people were sure ticked off when these Power Rankings had San Francisco at No. 2 following a loss to Minnesota. Well, how does a 34-0 spanking on the road back that up? We certainly believe in the Atlanta Falcons, but on Sunday against the Jets, the Niners showed why they are as good as any team in the NFL. Vic Fangio's defense allowed 145 total yards and two third-down conversions.
Atlanta's 4-0 record is NO fluke. Yet, some of the cracks in this team's armor were revealed in a narrow win over the Carolina Panthers, starting with some poor tackling. That aside, Ryan-to-White proved as clutch as Bradshaw-to-Swann and Staubach-to-Pearson. What a finish! The kind that a highlight just doesn't quite encapsulate, as compared to watching (or in my case, hearing) it play out live.
Solid overall team performance from the Ravens on NFL Network last Thursday night. Sure would be lovely if offensive coordinator Cam Cameron would give Ray Rice the rock in the running game five to six more times per contest. If someone can explain why one of the league's premier tailbacks is tied for 15th in the league in rushing attempts while playing on a team that has either been ahead or in close games each week, please hit me up at @Harrison_NFL. Ridiculous.
If Graham Harrell is the future of the Packers, then that future looks strikingly similar to the opening scene in "Terminator." All those fans (and fantasy owners) pooh-poohing Aaron Rodgers' play probably should take a step back.
If Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall can play like they did in a blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, look out for this team. The Bears finally played like the Super Bowl contenders this writer predicted them to be. Nice effort on several plays from Nick Roach, Chicago's other linebacker.
Kevin Kolb is just terrible sometimes ... then he suddenly makes plays when Arizona needs them most. There was absolutely no excuse for the fourth-quarter pick in the red zone with the Cardinals nursing a 14-13 lead. THROW THE DAMN BALL AWAY! Maybe the worst play I've seen from a veteran NFL quarterback this season. But then, Kolb brought his team back late, ultimately delivering an OT win (with a lot of help from the defense). Kolb's inconsistent play must be absurdly maddening, stressful and generally Favre-ian for Cards fans to watch.
There is no shortage of fans who hate the Pats, and that's fine. But if you don't admire the resilience of Bill Belichick's club, you're missing the boat. On Sunday afternoon, New England faced a 21-7 deficit ... in the third quarter ... on the road ... against a division rival. Just over 15 game-minutes later, the Pats led, 42-21. Five unanswered touchdowns. It happens that fast.
How about that Andy Reid (who isn't allergic to the running game after all)? LeSean McCoy got 23 carries and made the Giants pay for Reid's confidence in the ground attack with 123 rushing yards. In total, Philadelphia had 36 running attempts compared to 30 passes. The play selection was integral to keeping Michael Vick off his back. (Oh, and to the win.)
Easy to play armchair coach, but even if Lawrence Tynes had made the 54-yard field goal to win the game, the thought here is that 15 seconds is a wee bit too much time to leave on the clock. It would have been nice to at least see the Giants try to hit something outside near the sideline to get Tynes closer. Either way, the poor defense on the edge against McCoy was a huge reason New York lost this game.
The Broncos have to feel good about the way the team bounced back against Oakland following an uneven performance against the Texans in Week 3. Both coordinators -- Mike McCoy on offense and Jack Del Rio on defense -- did a helluva job preparing for a divisional rival that was coming off a big win.
San Diego's inconsistency might annoy some folks, and there is no debating the lack of a No. 1 wideout and a shortage of impact players on defense. The Bolts don't care. They're 3-1, sitting atop the AFC West, with a road trip to face the ailing Saints next on the docket. Still, it sure would be interesting to know how big a doghouse Ryan Mathews is in, and how much of a workload Jackie Battle gets going forward.
Haven't seen anyone talk about rookie Harrison Smith much, but the thought here is that this guy is going to be a player. I've been a shill for Christian Ponder for weeks now; time to look at the other side of the ball. The safety out of Notre Dame leads a secondary that is competing much better than league analysts anticipated.
OK, so maybe no one was watching Bengals-Jaguars, save for me and Rodney Holman. Still, Cincinnati has arrived at 3-1 with barely anyone taking notice. The encouraging sign in Jacksonville was the play of the Bengals defense, which held the Jags to 212 total yards and 2-for-11 on third downs.
Didn't see the loss in St. Louis coming, but probably should have. After that incredibly emotional (and highly controversial) win two Mondays ago that was the talk of the football world, it shouldn't have surprised any of us football heads that Seattle was a little flat on Sunday. The most surprising thing was that the Seahawks took the opening kickoff and drove right down the field for a touchdown. The issue with Pete Carroll's bunch is that it's not a come-from-behind-style team, especially with so few weapons in the passing game.
Jon Gruden brought up a great point on the Monday Night Football broadcast regarding the apparent lack of a home-field advantage at Cowboys Stadium. Other teams get fired up to play at JerryWorld. The Dallas owner wanted to build the premier venue in sports -- ironic that it might hurt his team more than it helps.
Zuerlein 1, Seahawks 0. Can Missouri Western State produce dominant football players or what? Terrific home win for the Rams after a rough second half at Soldier Field in Week 3. The defense showed admirable resilience, especially after giving up an opening-drive touchdown.
Heard in a sports watering hole: "Brandon Pettigrew would be THE tight end in pro football, if he could hold on to the football." Good to know, except he doesn't make plays when his team needs them. Hard to believe this team is 1-3. If you think about it, Detroit could be winless if not for some home-clock engineering versus the Rams in Week 1. The 2012 season is slipping away fast. Bad time for a bye.
Mark Sanchez looks like he's winging it out there, and not in a John-Madden-love-affair-with-Brett-Favre way. He's just not making enough big plays to compensate for poor football discernment, accuracy issues and falling just short on key vertical throws. He's certainly not the only young player who has struggled for this team ... just the most important one.
Tough to get behind Buffalo Bills football right now, but they don't free-fall this week because five of the six teams immediately behind them in last week's rankings also lost. What should be a much-improved defense let Chan Gailey down, time and again on Sunday. The Bills looked like they were getting bad ROI on the money they pumped into the D-line over the offseason during a 24-point loss to New England. Offensively, Ryan Fitzpatrick can't throw some of those balls that red-carpeted the Pats' offense with a short field.
Mike Shanahan is not playing around these days. Alfred Morris continues to get a massive workload, and the kid is making it count. The rookie running back out of Florida Atlantic got 21 more carries in Tampa, and now has 82 for the season. Who would have thought Morris would be in the top five in rushing, or even tied for third in carries? Washington moves up eight spots because of the strong play of Robert Griffin III, the development of a true lead tailback and nearly every team that was right ahead of Washington in last week's rankings losing.
Tampa Bay continues to be in games, but can't close out. In fact, the defense was atrocious on the first couple of downs after Connor Barth's go-ahead field goal late in the fourth quarter. Santana Moss beat the Bucs' zone on a quick slant, and then Fred Davis gashed Tampa Bay for 20 yards over the middle after RG3 properly identified the blitz. Two plays, 35 yards, and the 'Skins were almost immediately knocking on the door. If I were a Bucs fan, I'd be ticked.
The little-known
Charles Johnson competed his arse off
Sunday in Atlanta, with eight tackles and 3.5 sacks, but his teammates ultimately couldn't hold the fort. On another note, it sure would be nice if
Cam Newton realized this simple concept by the end of the season:
Just playing football > gloating in a Patrick Crayton-esque way after every big play you make
Dwayne Bowe can really make things happen when your team is behind by three touchdowns.
It's a good thing the showers came, or else the Jaguars would've mounted a huge comeback. Except not at all. Jacksonville fans have to be so sick and tired of not seeing any playmaking whatsoever on the outside. The wideouts combined for 10 receptions, 89 yards and no end zone appearances. The usual.
Fresh off a tough loss to the Jags in the waning moments, last week wasn't the best time for Indy to have a bye. And now the Colts encounter far tougher times with the news that head coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia. This space gave Pagano his deserved respect last week, and the entire football world wishes him a full recovery.
I would like to meet the one guy in Gun Barrel City, Texas who picked Brian Hartline for his NFL.com Perfect Challenge Team. Hartline's, uh, line from Sunday: 12 catches, 253 yards and a touchdown. I came thisclose to picking the Dolphins in a road upset in my picks column. Miami's front seven can hang with anyone, and has been a bright spot for a team everyone assumed would go 3-13.
Resilient effort by Drew Brees and the Saints' offense on the road with their 2012 season slipping away. Alas, it wasn't enough. One of the more surprising developments this season is just how bad Steve Spagnuolo's defense has been thus far. New Orleans has no chance of even making it to 7-9 if Spags can't get his unit turned around.
Tennessee has gotten blown out in three of four games now. Spoke with a colleague in the business -- a closeted Titans supporter, too -- regarding the state of this football team. He wondered aloud if Tennessee will make a move on a quarterback in the 2013 NFL Draft should this season take a nose dive. It would be awfully early for them to bail on the eighth overall pick from just two drafts ago, but Mike Munchak's future is somewhat tied to Jake Locker. In the interim, the Titans need Matt Hasselbeck to dial up 2004 again.
Every time someone looked up at the Raiders game from their Chotchkie's bar stool, they saw safeties Matt Giordano and Tyvon Branch (17 combined tackles) running someone down or huffing and puffing. The best play Oakland's defense made all game was when Demaryius Thomas inexplicably fumbled the ball (without contact) and a Raider was there to recover it.
Sure would be nice if Trent Richardson would get the ball in his belly more. Cleveland was right in that ballgame last Thursday, down one score, yet Pat Shurmur disregarded the run. The run-pass ratio: 17 rushing plays to 53 passing plays. That's not going to cut it, at least not with a rookie quarterback devoid of weapons (who can catch).

Getting a little tired of one Windows SMB (Server Message Block) security problem after another? Want a reliable and fast file and print server without the Windows server headaches? Then, may I strongly recommend that you give Samba on Linux a try? Samba is an open-source program that had provided file and print services to SMB/CIFS (Common Internet File System) clients for more than a decade. This is the same core functionality that Windows Server had provided since NT roamed the Earth. Thus, Samba can provide file and printer services for any version of Windows. Samba runs on essentially all Linux/Unix servers. Indeed, it's a rare Linux distribution that doesn't include the Samba server as a ready-to-run option.
Why Samba
Why would you bother? There are several good reasons to move to Samba. The first is cost. Not only is Samba free, it can run on hardware that Windows Server 2008 R2 would roll over and die on. In addition, there are no CAL (client access license) fees.
Samba is also fast. When I first tested Samba in 1999, it was already delivering files faster than NT. It's only gotten better since then. In informal tests at my office, I've found Samba 3.4.3, the latest version to be as fast as Server 2008 R2 on the same servers at delivering files.
Samba, AD, and Domains
You don't have to make an either/or decision if you want to try Samba on your network. Samba can work with AD (Active Directory) servers. If you're still using the older-style Windows Domain system for your network, Samba can be used with Domains or even dropped in a replacement for a Windows PDCs (Primary Domain Controllers).
At this time, you still can't run Samba as a standalone AD domain controller. That won't happen until Samba 4.0 appears, hopefully sometime in 2010. Since Samba now has legal access to Windows networking protocols, that's only a matter of time. Samba will also be delivering support for Microsoft's SMB2. In theory, SMB2, available on Vista and later versions of Windows, delivers better network performance, but it's been troubled with security problems.
In the meantime, you can join Samba servers to an AD tree as a member server in Windows 2000 native-mode. This is a backwards compatible mode, which enables you to run run Samba 3.x, W2K (Windows 2000) server, Server 2003, and Server 2008 on the same LAN. For authentication purposes, your AD server must support LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and Kerberos.
Once you have Kerberos working, either MIT or Heimdal Kerberos on the Linux side, you must manually enter the Samba 3 Server information into AD. For full details on how to do that, check out Join Samba 3 to Your Active Directory Domain. With that done, your Samba's file shares and printers should then appear in the AD management consoles and to Windows clients.
Solo Samba
Of course, you don't have to go to all that trouble. Whether you're running a SOHO (small office/home office) or a Fortune 50 company, you can just use Samba for all your file and print needs. For your basic Samba setup, simply install Samba on your Linux server. Once in place, turn it on, make sure your firewall doesn't get in the way of the SMB/CIFS protocols, and you're ready to start setting it up.
Most server-oriented Linux distributions, like Novell's openSUSE and SUSE Linux Server and Red Hat's Fedora and RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), come with GUIs (graphical user interfaces) to help you set Samba up. Use them. They'll make your life much easier.
You can also use the Web-based SWAT (Samba Web Based Administration Tool) or Webmin for your basic setup. You won't want to use these tools once you're past your initial installation though if you do any manual tuning to your Samba set-up. That's because these programs tend to replace the master Samba configuration file, smb.conf, with their own optimized version of the file. That, in turn, will lose any hand-made changes you've made to the file.
Chances are though you won't need to do much of that. While you can spend a lot of time optimizing Samba, for basic bread and butter file and print sharing, the easy-to-use front-end programs do a fine job.
If you want, of course, you can set Samba up the old fashioned manual way. With recipes like Red Hat Magazine's How to build a dirt easy home NAS server using Samba and Debian Admin's File Server Configuration in Debian Using Samba, you won't need to be a Linux or a networking genius to set up a good, basic standalone Samba server.
If you do need to get fancy your one-stop information site for setting up Samba is The Official Samba 3.2.x HOWTO and Reference Guide. While a bit dated, most of the information is still current.
The one noteworthy exception is that, starting with Samba 3.4, the default passdb password backend has been changed to 'tdbsam.' If you're still using the old password setup with the 'smbpasswd' backend this will break it. If you've been using a standalone Samba server, chances are good that's what you've been using for security.
If you want to stick with it, simply enter the line: passdb backend = smbpasswd
in your smb.conf. You're better off in the long run though if you convert your smbpasswd entries into tbdsam by running
pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam
from a Linux shell. The tdbsam offers you more options for users setting, and there are some advanced server commands which won't work with the 'smbpasswd' backend.
Samba from the desktop
For desktop users, none of this matters. Whether you're using Samba as a complete replacement or as part of a Windows Server-based network, once set up properly, Samba drives and printers work exactly like any other network drive or printer as they're concerned.
Indeed, if you're using a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, chances are you're already using Samba. Linux and Samba lies at the heart of almost this kind of hardware.
There are, however, a pair of related problems that might get in your way with Vista or Windows 7. On some of these systems, a pair of networking settings are set so that they won't work properly with Samba or, for that matter, older versions of Windows Server.
If you've set up your Samba boxes properly--e.g. you can reach your shared drives just fine from an XP box or a Mac - but you still can't see them from Windows 7, you'll need to do fixing. Go to your Windows 7 box and try going to: Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy Local Policies - Security Options.
Once there, set "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to "Send LM & NTLM responses" and the "Minimum session security for NTLM SSP" to "Disable Require 128-bit encryption." On Vista, it's a little more complicated. Here, you'll need to click "Start -> Run." Once you're at Vista's idea of a command line, type in the Run field: "secpol.msc." That will bring you to Vista's security policy system. Once there, use "Go to: Local Policies > Security Options" and then find "Network Security: LAN Manager" authentication level. Find it? Now change the Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated."
Once set up and running, I think you'll find Samba does an excellent job as a file/print server. For basic network services it's hard to beat. I've been using it for Windows clients from Windows 95—the horror! The horror!--to Windows 7, as well as for supplying file and print services to other Linux distributions and Macs, and it's always done the job.
From just having a server to keep your video-collection in or providing file and print services to hundreds of workstations, Samba and Linux does the job for a fraction of the cost of Windows. Give it a try in your own network, I think you'll like it.

Patient discussion about air
Q. Are superbugs contagious through the air? Last week we visited my dad in the hospital, and we noticed that on the next room's door there was a warning sign. After asking, we were told it was a denoting that the patient inside had a superbug (called klebsiella). On our way out we passed against this patient in the hallway – is it possible that I also carry this superbag? Is it dangerous?
A. Usually these bacteria are transmitted from person to person through direct contact, and less through the air. Moreover, these germs are dangerous in ill and debilitated patients, and not in normal healthy individuals.
Q. breating air that has tetrachloroethene in it how does it affect you if u have prostate cancer the air in my building has been determined to have Tetrachloroethylene in it i have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer

I'm guessing your Independence Day weekend was very similar to mine in more than one way, Nestgoers.
Like me, you probably watched Joey Chestnut defend his World Hot Dog Eating title against former Champ Kobayashi, and a host of others. Like me, it probably made you want a hot dog. Or, like my girlfriend, perhaps it made you want to vomit a bit.
Like me, you probably had a bit too much to drink on one (or more) of the days this weekend.
And, like me, you were probably in the midst of enjoying the most American of traditions, the Fourth of July barbeque, when your celebration was interrupted by the shocking news of Steve McNair's untimely death.
For me, it was in the form of a text message from WNST. You may have heard the news the same way, or perhaps from a phone call or text from a friend that happened to be near a TV or radio. However the news made its way to your ears, the result was probably universal – like me, you were more than a little shocked.
As the details from the incident continue to emerge, we will all form our own opinions of the circumstances surrounding Air McNair's passing. However, one thing I think we can all agree upon is this: the ramifications of the sudden, unexpected death of any father, husband, and son go well beyond the realm of sports – and as such, are well beyond the scope of a silly little sports blog such as the Nest.
Suffice to say that we are grateful for all that Steve McNair brought to Baltimore by choosing to end his career in purple. The best regular season in Ravens' history, an offense that was once again finally exciting to watch, and two merciless beatdowns of the Squealers. For that and more Steve, we thank you. The same goes for your charity work in the community, most recently exemplified by your refusal to bend to the protests of Titans fans who were upset you would hold a pro-Ravens rally in their town. You did it, in your own words, for the kids.
That's about all that we feel is appropriate for us to comment on – Steve McNair's play on the field, and his associated efforts to give back.
Fifteen months ago, we posted an article on this site called LAS – Life After Steve. Those words now have a much more profound impact than we ever intended them to, for his fans yes, but more importantly for his friends and family. Our sincere condolences go out to them.

Teen 'psychotic' after attack on clinician
SALEM, Mass. (AP) — The Massachusetts teenager charged with killing his math teacher appeared to be "psychotic" after he allegedly attacked a female clinician at a Department of Youth Services detention center in Boston earlier this month, according to court documents.
The documents, a request by the state Department of Youth Services to have 15-year-old Philip Chism undergo a psychiatric evaluation following the June 2 incident, were released Tuesday by a Superior Court judge in response to a motion by The Salem News (http://bit.ly/1q8wuXM ).
Chism was armed with a pencil when he followed the woman into a staff bathroom and choked, stabbed, and punched her, according to authorities. The woman turned down medical treatment.
Chism was "out of touch with reality" and "yelling, screaming incoherently (and) foaming at the mouth while being restrained by staff," according to the psychologist-written petition to have him committed to Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital for 30 days of mental health evaluation and treatment.
He has not been charged in connection with the alleged attack on the worker.
His lawyer refused comment.
The documents also outline the security measures put in place at the Worcester facility, including constant one-on-one observation, with a male staff member even accompanying him to the bathroom.
Chism has pleaded not guilty to robbing, raping and killing 24-year-old Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer after following her into a restroom last October. He was 14 at the time and had recently moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee.

- Brazilian Grand Prix - Qualifying
Maldonado relegated ten places
- Race:
- Brazilian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Pastor Maldonado
- Teams:
- Williams
Pastor Maldonado has been handed a ten-place grid penalty after receiving his third reprimand of the season at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Midway through the second part of qualifying, Maldonado missed a call to the weighbridge from the FIA which was marked by a red light and an official in the pit lane. He went on to make it through to the final part of qualifying and originally qualified sixth before being called to see the stewards.
He explained to ESPN that he thought the light had been turned on late by the official manning it: "There was a difficult moment because they turned the light on quite late and the pit entry is quite narrow and you are low in the car with a hill - and it's big one. I didn't see the light and I was at the same time moving my hand to set down the brake balance in order to stop in the box. Maybe a little mistake but at the same time the steward who turned on the light did a mistake as well. It was the first time as well that we ran with 100 km/h in the pit lane."
Maldonado was handed a reprimand for the incident, which was his third of the season and results in an automatic ten-place grid penalty. The punishment relegates Maldonado to 16th on the grid, most significantly promoting Fernando Alonso to seventh place; three behind his championship rival Sebastian Vettel.
Nico Hulkenberg will now start sixth ahead of Alonso, with Kimi Raikkonen, Nico Rosberg and Paul di Resta rounding out the top ten grid positions.

What Are The Benefits Of Dog Swimming?
You might be asking yourself "why should I bring my dog to an indoor pool?" You're not alone. Dog swimming and dock diving is not only an activity that is fun for you and your dog, but it also helps to keep your dog healthy and in shape providing many great health benefits.
Some of the many reasons to start swimming with your dog include:
- Resistance from the water helps improve muscle strength, while working the cardio-vascular and respiratory systems.
- The stronger the muscles the more resist a dog will be to injuries sustained during typical exercise.
- Swimming can help with rehabilitation from various forms of injuries.
- Assists in movement for arthritic dogs.
- Helps with weight loss
- Positive reinforcement techniques to ensure a fun/stress-free environment
- Group lessons and leagues are a fun way to meet other dog sport lovers while embracing a fun competition.
- A dog doesn't have to jump 25' feet to have fun!
What Should You Be Expecting?
How Should I Prepare my Dog Prior to Arriving?
- Do not feed your dog 3-4 hours before a swim session.
- Make sure to potty your dog prior to swimming. There is a designated potty area on the front of the building. Anyone who does not clean up after their dog will not be allowed to use our facility, this also includes cleaning up after your dog indoors.
- Dogs should be brushed out prior to entering the pool. (Brushes available in wash/dry area). If the dog is dirty/muddy, you will be required to rinse your dog before entering the pool. Toenails must be trimmed and smooth edges. Nails will be checked prior to swim, and if trimming/filing is required, there is a $10 fee. Sharp/long toenails can damage the pool.
- Defecation in the pool will result in a clean-up fee, that fee can range from $25-$150, depending on the extent of the stool in the pool and if the pool needs to be shut down for the rest of the day. Session will end and no refund will be given.
- Dogs should be in good health and free of any communicable conditions.
