Continued from page 1
Mugabe also abolished the small number of seats reserved for the white minority in Parliament, as well as succeeded in changing the constitution to install himself as executive President and gain the powers needed to ensure his hold on power lasted indefinitely. These events enabled him to initiate the haphazard and often violent land redistribution program meant to transfer white-owned land to his supporters, all the while continuing to brutalize his black opponents. Zimbabwe's poor economic mismanagement and resulting hyperinflation has made the mistakes of his a cautionary tale in business schools. While organized opposition has gathered strength and coerced Mugabe to accept some power sharing with the Movement for Democratic Change, the economic and social damage his oversight has wreaked will take years to repair.
Some commentators have compared Julius Malema to Robert Mugabe before the latter lurched in the wrong direction. However, I wonder if Malema could turn out to be even worse if he eventually wins the presidency. Robert Mugabe spent 11 years in a Rhodesian prison and was even denied permission to attend his son's funeral while incarcerated. Unlike South Africa, Rhodesia did descend into a terrible conflict often referred to as the Rhodesian Bush War. Whites accounted for less than 1% of the Rhodesian population while whites and people of Asian descent account for 20% of South Africa's population, and have lived in South Africa far longer than their Rhodesian counterparts. His vengeance, as misguided and misplaced as it is, can at least be partially understood in the context of his background.
Malema cannot claim the freedom fighter mantle. He was 8 years old when Mandela was released from prison. He trumpets his role as an "economic freedom fighter", but has amassed a tidy fortune and is well known for his numerous houses and ostentatious display of wealth. He pushes for the nationalization of mines even as the National Union of Mineworkers, which represents 400,000 mostly black mine workers opposes him.
Robert Mugabe turned the breadbasket of Africa into a dysfunctional, violent kleptocracy. If ANC moderates fail to stop Malema's ascent, South Africa may never regain the optimism of 1995 and slip down the dangerous path Zimbabwe forged in 1987.

(The following article will contain spoilers for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. We're just saving you some time.)
Now haters gonna hate, ladies and gentlemen, but the fact remains that The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has been one of the most popular and influential Japan-cartoons of the decade. One of many results is that the show is an effective representation of everything terrible about the medium. Colony Drop Inc. has been remiss in failing to address the many ways in which this role model for the anime industry is proudly insipid, unbearably self-satisfied trash, and we are sorry. We will now resume our duty as haters.
Not even can we argue that Haruhi is poorly made: the production values are consistently outstanding and Kyoto Animation certainly knows how to do the best possible job adapting their source material. It's just that the material, in this case a light novel series we never intend to read, is such insufferable tripe.
At first glance a simple harem anime, Haruhi promises something more. Unfortunately that something more is a sci-fi metastory that takes a convoluted path all to reaffirm the fact that the story is in fact a simple harem anime. Many fans will deny this fact to the death, citing bit and pieces of said metastory, but that's all a layer above. It doesn't have to be thought about, and in the end it turns out not to be that important. What's up front—what the story is about, what pays the bills—is an ingeniously manufactured harem anime, built specifically to sell as much merchandise as humanly possible.
(We at Colony Drop are also not so reality-impaired as to deny that in this respect Haruhi is an overwhelming success.)
Let's cut away the frills and the fluff and take a look at what's actually in front of us in the SOS Brigade club room: a set of rigid, well-worn archetypes built to appeal to as many geeks as possible. The anime harem is a proven, efficient machine that pulls twee love out of the codified-fetish sections of any otaku's heart. As otaku, however, are only capable of creepy, one-sided financial obsessions, the harem settles for what's in their wallets.
The core of any decent anime harem is a self-insertion character: you want the audience to identify with one character so strongly that they place themselves in his head, in turn vicariously experiencing all the "onii-chan"s and "I'm not doing this because I like you"s flung his way. Haruhi has two of these characters for your enjoyment, in case you didn't feel identified-with enough.
Kyon, a young man without a proper name, serves as our narrator and the target of the harem's affections. Kyon represents a "new"-style harem lead: the ironic harem king. This guy's not outright repugnant, as the usual Keitaro Urashima "I sure hate being around all these women who want my dick!" blank slate is, but that doesn't mean he reaches anything approaching tolerable. Sarcastic and exasperated at all times, Kyon effectively distances himself from the typical harem anime goings-on by reminding the viewer repeatedly of how ridiculous his situation is (a la Zack in Saved by the Bell, another notable high school comedy drama). The problem with this approach is that simply pointing out your own tired genre tropes doesn't exempt you from leaning so hard on them. Case in point, even the transcendentally awful Crystal Triangle has a scene where the hero says "this is really turning into a cliche." We still weren't laughing with him.
The other audience-identification character is harem star and moé idol Haruhi herself. Let's not mince words here: this character is unbearable. She is also literally deified, both by the show and in turn by the fanbase. How does this happen? Simple: she's an otaku. She can't communicate with people: if she existed, you wouldn't be able to make it through five minutes' conversation with her. She's an ADD case whose every whim must be entertained right now. She can only express herself to the guy she likes, and only then on the level of a petulant toddler (unfortunately, no abbreviation for "petulant toddler" rings quite the same way "tsundere" does). Otherwise the apparent height of physical and mental perfection, Haruhi's only worry is the creeping fear that she is in not fact special enough.
And it gets worse from there! I will give you the Cliff's Notes version of Haruhi's back story and just tell you that she turns out to be a godlike entity who unconsciously wills everything that she wants into happening, including the appearance of all of her friends. Furthermore, if Haruhi is ever unhappy or confused or in any way psychologically shook up, she might inadvertently destroy the universe. So she's not just a spoiled brat, she's a spoiled brat with a divine mandate to get everything she wants all the time. You might ask "what's to empathize with there?", and I will point towards the nearest geek convention and tell you that a lot of whiny, self-obsessed teenagers watch Japanese cartoons these days.
(There is a fan theory that Kyon is, in fact, the godlike entity who unwittingly willed Haruhi into being. To this, I argue that as they're both audience substitutes, either possibility is pandering wish fulfillment, so it doesn't really matter.)
The final irony of the plot is that these revelations change nothing. The original TV broadcast that I watched was aired out of chronological order, leaving the big reveals for the very end, stringing the audience along in hopes that the final secret might have been an interesting one. Ultimately, all it means is that the main heroine is still reverently treated by the viewer and must be kept happy by the protagonist at all costs, just like every other moé heroine ever. It was just never literally stated before that the world would end if she was sad.
The rest of the harem consists of a set of simple fetish objects that hit the bases for a variety of fan demographics: a pretty boy, for the tiniest dash of sexual tension that is all that is necessary to set the heart of the yaoi fangirl ablaze, a chesty airheaded abuse target and Rei Ayanami.
There's little to say about the other two, so let's just go for the victim. There are a lot of terrible things about this show, but she's a strong competitor for the top spot. Mikuru Asahina's distinguishing features include huge boobs, doe eyes, and the worn-down abuse victim's perpetual "please don't hurt me anymore" frightened stare, with an accompanying mousy stammer between embarrassed squeals. The character's entire purpose in the show is to be sexually abused by Haruhi: this ranges from being subject to fondling at all times to being forced to wear various otaku fetish outfits to, in a particularly classy scene, being used as a prop in a gang-rape blackmail threat. Nobody really seems to mind, least of all Mikuru herself. I'm hardly averse to T&A in my Japtoons, but this is just fucking creepy.
This, combined with Kyon's above-it-all narration, is one of the things I find particularly intolerable about Haruhi: its smugness, its insistence that it is somehow clever for simply being conscious that it is trotting out the same old shit. Frankly, I have more respect for a softcore skin-fest like Queen's Blade–a simple piece of borderline pornography that knows what its audience wants and delivers with neither shame nor hesitation–than Haruhi with its smirking and eye rolling as the heroine hilariously molests the one with the big tits for the eighth time this episode and the audience pretends they're
your a faget Colony Drop, I must congratulate you all because after stumbling upon this blog I was reminded why I was drawn to anime in the first place. A reason that I find very hard to describe, but I think I can safely say that The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the antithesis of it. I'm now off to read all of your reviews. Wow.Congratulations Colony Drop,you have already managed to piss off some fanboys.Like the one at the top. It seems that not even supposed God-like entities are safe from an O'Neil-style space habitat crushing down on them. I hate Haruhi, buncha retarded faggotry and the Hare Hare Yukai is the worst dance number ever. obvious troll is obvious I was going to respond to this, but I think /a/ and Wild Tengu have set the discourse bar too high for my poor brain. I'm kind of torn on allowing those brain dead type comments, as while they're amusing to see idiots get offended but unable to argue for something coherently, it kind of kills any sort of actual discussion. I think it's helpful to let a couple through to demonstrate what we're up against, but I wouldn't want to let them all through. Still, it's hard to get real discussion going on Haruhi anyway, partially because, well, we have about a dozen permanent readers who tend to agree with us more often than not, and partially because, well, it's Haruhi. It's the otaku sensation of this decade, and as such it tends to have a sort of Evangelion effect where its advocates become myopic talking about how great it is and its critics are so flabbergasted by its popularity that they often stumble all over themselves trying to take it down a peg. (Obviously, that last statement doesn't apply to us and select of our readers, because we're both perfect and awesome.) If we're going to get any mature, civil discussion about the ultimate merit of Haruhi, it's probably going to have to be a few years removed…and in at least a few cases, to allow certain of its audience to mature. (And that's not simply a cheap shot at the /a/ set; nobody's immune to the enamor of youth, and Haruhi is very much an enamored-youth "holy shit, these guys GET me" kind of show.) But make no mistake, we don't just want to hear from /a/ on this subject. If you have something civil to say regarding Haruhi — hell, if you want to DEFEND noble Haruhi from our knavish slander — we would like to hear it, at whatever length you deem appropriate. It's sad that our trolling gets more attention than our positive posts (really, I mostly see the trolling as a means to attract the curious to the stuff we DO like), but that's basically the state of anime blogging. Criticism is limited mostly to trolling for attention (admittedly, we try to do a bit of that with British, but it's not our only game), and anything positive to be said for a show or film is misconstrued as blind adulation or favoritism. At the risk of sounding like the grumpy, unhip old-man-at-heart that I am, it's very difficult to get people's attention with civil, straightfaced discussion in a scene where you're more or less shoehorned into being a mindless (but mostly harmless) sheep — the Naruto/squealing yaoi congoer set — or a sarcastic, spiteful wolf — which sort of used to be the /a/ set, but there's so much seepage from Gaia and the like now that the character of the board is no longer really the thoughtful-cynical set so much as it is the thoughtful-cynical set's obnoxious little brothers. The middle ground is exasperatingly hard to find if you're not already hip, and with the pronounced (physical and/or mental) youth of anime fans in general, it may well take a few years before one is mature enough to really step back from one's particular anime sub-clique and start thinking critically about their relationship with Japanese rape cartoons. I think we should take a few minutes to get up and stretch before we continue this. I think the complaints you levy against it are all accurate (although I disagree with the classification as a harem show), but I actually enjoy the show because I can see behind the curtain, the actual curtain. I get what they are doing and why but that doesn't do anything but make it more amusing for me. I almost want to liken it to enjoying something like GaoGaiGar with complete awareness that it is a shameless toy seller. This is the best article ive read in awhile. with the aforementioned argument, we might come to the conclusion that in a way, haruhi is this generations eva, in that people are trying to hard to make it out to be something that its not. i really wish people would take japtoons for what they are, entertainment, instead of the messiah.and guys, keep on hatin. For a Colony Drop regular (never comments though, because I still haven't yet watched most things you discussed), I still do like Haruhi. Perhaps because it's very self-aware at itself, or perhaps more because I wasn't as jaded as you guys are when I first watched it. But still, the praise of it in the anime community itself is beyond reasoning, to say. I could say that this is a backlash to that, like Evangelion (which I still like). Now, if you do an article like this for Kanon/Clannad/K-ON I would most likely wholeheartedly agree (I'm still ambivalent towards Lucky Star, but it's still miles better than similar things like Pani Poni Dash). >Sean In any case though, I'll keep my longer, more self-indulgent points to my own blog. >Ben Spot on with the generational thing, but in more ways than just the fact that it appeals to anime fans. The anime references could be replaced with a different set of signs and signifiers and the show wouldn't be substantially different (although perhaps it would annoy different people). I think Kyoto Animation have to take some of the blame. It'd be perfectly possible to take the same material and actually give what implied satire there is in there some edge. I even think they got some of the way there with the "first" episode's student film. Compare it to Shinichi Watanabe's similar projects where he embraces and satrises anime standards at the same time, and Haruhi is shown to be utterly toothless. It's a security blanket rather than a kick in the balls. > dotdash I liked the comment on the second of those anitations pages by the guy who was confused about your focus on what he calls "middlebrow" anime. I think that's one of those situations where you've got to say, "If you needs to ask, then you's never gonna know." In related news, the great music journalist Steven Wells died yesterday. Seriously, I do not know where to begin. I am so grateful that this post strives to clear the stifling haze that is killing the industry. Thank you You mean Haruhi isn't moefied Heinlein's All You Zombies? Gundam isn't about making a statement about war and is more about selling grossly overpriced SPRUES of plass-tick? (And Merch, duh. Bandai.) All harem animus are merchwagons? Macross Frontier is merchbastard piece of shit animu that just so happens to actually be a better POS than Gundam? Eroge adaptations SUCK BALLS? Colony Drop is A++ Troll would love to be trolled by again? At least we don't have to worry about merchbastardizing Overman King Gainer. Tomino made sure to make it as acid-trippy as possible for capitalists to stay the fuck away from it. Also, more tripe from lower than Anonymous scumbag hack of a blogger Owen aka saturnine? Dude, Anon trolls much better, and they probably are about the same level as he is. I'd leave a comment in protest but I'd just be playing into your hands. Also >>(I'm still ambivalent towards Lucky Star, but it's still miles better than similar things like Pani Poni Dash). You are a faggot. A true oldschool fan should love Pani Poni Dash! since… fuck… every episode references something from the 60s, 70s, 80s multiple times. Hell, the last three episodes are a full on parody of Saraba Uchuu Senkan Yamato. If you can't realize that, then you are a faggot and should die. Seriously. >wah Regarding your comment, I'll just say that I'm not a 'true oldschool fan' by your standards. I enjoyed reading and listening to the rantings of an oldschool fan, but I cannot consider myself a true oldschool fan. I watch anime that I like, no matter it's old or new. That means, if enjoying Pani Poni Dash is the proof of a true oldschool anime fan, then I am not one and I don't want to be one. Simple as that. THANK YOU. God, sometimes I feel like the only person who hates Haruhi with a passion. And then I read this! You made my night. Hmmm….everyone is entitled to their informed opinions, especially when it comes to anime and especially when it comes to Haruhi. Obviously you saw it and did not like it. But you didn't deserve crap like the first response. That nonsense was…ah hell, it was bullshit. Now, I've seen Haruhi and well…I liked it. It isn't the greatest thing ever, and it's nowhere near the love I have for classics like MACROSS, GUNDAM, and DIRTY PAIR, but I didn't think it was the end of civilization. If there was one thing that I didn't like about the show, it was Haruhi herself…as a character, she had an attitude that would, in all fairness, piss off a lot of people. She was no shrinking violet, though. So why is the show popular? Who knows? I don't believe that everyone who watches the show and likes it is brain-dead, and I also do not think that those who dislike the show are a-holes. It is better that we all DID watch the show instead of pulling the bullshit pre-cog nonsense of "I haven't watched the show, but I know it sucks!!" Put it this way–we all watched the show and had different reactions to it, ranging from positive to negative. That's all. Agreed. I tried to watch one episode, I couldnt freaking stand it. I didnt even make it to Meeting Haruhi. But from what ive seen from AMV's or just videos I happen to stumble across, she appears to be a rude, selfish brat. I mean who the hell makes their own club just so she can force its members to do what she wants without any care of how they may feel(Because it appears this Kyon character doesn't like her very much) I dunno, I kind of liked Haruhi, and I usually hate moé stuff. There is an entire slew of episodes (such as the baseball one) that operate as pure comedy episodes, and I found them pretty damn funny. However, you make a very good point about the show bathing in anime clichés and then making fun of them as if the writers were somehow clever, and that's something I would mention to my friends who tried to tell me that Haruhi was the end-all-be-all anime. Yes, the way it pokes fun at clichés is funny, but it's so steeped in those clichés already that the jokes lose any sort of satirical bite that they might have had. And when it comes down to it, I think the fanbase is the biggest problem that the show has. So many people think that Haruhi is the best show of the decade, so it sours the opinions of critics like the Colony Drop crowd. It's a fun show with a weak sci-fi plot, a little bit of romantic drama, and some funny slice-of-life comedy episodes. To claim that it is anything more than that is foolishness. Oh yes, Mikuru is by far the worst character. I hated nearly every moment that she was on screen. The whole it's-not-so-bad-because-a-girl-is-molesting-her attitude was also pretty uncomfortable if you ask me. Anyway, it's nice to hear a voice in the crowd that's willing to take Haruhi down a peg or two. I've always felt that it got way more hype than it deserved. I think it is a good thing for otaku to be reminded on "their turf" that if their moé was brought out into the sun from its disgusting little pools found on the Internet, it would immediately be torn to pieces. Heck, your review is even tamer then what is the usual backlash to bad media that end up in the public's eye. Example: GTA Still, I never want to see the word "respect" related to "Queen's Blade" ever again for the rest of my life. Great summary of why Haruhi is unlikely to outlast its fandom's teenage years. Unfortunately, nowadays these extend to the mid-20s, and in a few cases as far beyond that as individual access to income/parental support allows. So we may all see Haruhi cosplayers at conventions for a few years yet. Bob Coffee & Ben make a valid point: it's not about US, us oldies who remember when Tomino had a full head of hair. It's about getting money out of high school kids, who spend most of their lives getting kicked by life as far as they can see. Other people's rules, other people's ideas, complete powerlessness, no money, can't get laid, can't even dictate your own schedule… a fantasy of omnipotence would probably have worked for most of us back then. Luckily, we lived in simpler times. Haruhi isn't bad, she's just drawn and written that way. She's no worse than Miley Cyrus. Both are blank, featureless pieces of celluloid on which a slice of a generation is projecting its desires and dreams. Their makers certainly aren't stupid. Maybe we dreamed bigger at that age. The space age hadn't died and the world was less cynical. Or maybe we just _think_ we dreamed bigger… Helen: I understand where you're coming from, but I absolutely refuse to sympathize with anybody who makes themselves feel better by indulging in horrible things, fictional or not. And the creators of Haruhi, otaku selling whatever perversions they enjoy to a brand of likeminded loosers who love to buy, to have the same smarts as Disney, a company that tests every little thing. Superficial nitpicking: "I'm just drawn that way" meant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit that Mrs. Rabbit was written as a good girl, even if she didn't look it. That moé little piece of trash is a monster. I see what you mean, Didi, but we are, and create, our own monsters. Haruhi and Miley and Disney are expressions of the world we made. We won't wipe them out of existence unless we fix the world – while people need their security blankets they will go to any lengths to keep them, however horrible others think them. "they will go to any lengths to keep them, however horrible others think them." That's right. I just think it is for the best, for mental and social reasons, not to let anybody pretend it's okay to have unhealthy security blankets. Also, I meant for the second sentence from my previous comment to end with an Illipsis. My apologies if it didn't make any sense. :p Helen: I'm not sure if what I was trying to say came out very clearly. Here's what I meant: A person only can make his or her own choices about whether to mature, but should always be aware better options are available. Thankfully, some people do. About the nature of media created to satisfy human desires. Some are mainly good for social relation, (fads); some are particularly unhealthy for encouraging anti-social behavior (shades of otaku culture). All are bad news without moderation. Hope I don't sound preachy. And thank you for responding. 🙂 Not at all. I like dialogue, it's one of the best ways to learn. Although of course, one of the great pleasures of visiting Colony Drop is the quality of rant one finds here. These guys give good rant. Helen: Yeah! There isn't enough "good rant" on the Internet, and especially not with a good sense of humor. From my experience, typical Internet blind rage = really bad write-ups that are exhausting and boring to read. It feels good to know that I am not alone. Haruhi is garbage. its been years since haruhi became the phenomenon that it is and i still haven't watched any of it despite copies of it rotting on my hard drive from the time a friend of mine gave 'em to me with the assurance that this was the series that was so revolutionary it will change anime as we knew it. maybe it did… which is funny since the only stuff i'm watching lately are fist of the north star and votoms.

So far I'm heartily disappointed at the relative lack of mouth breathing moe fans on here. Do you think your past harsh treatment of them has frightened them off?
"Haruhi is very much an enamored-youth 'holy shit, these guys GET me' kind of show"
That's entirely possible. There is this, which I hesitate to post just because we shouldn't encourage them. But it does show a particular clique of anime bloggers throwing some incoherent criticism at the piece, don't expect them to write in complete sentences though. Or to have actually read the piece.Submit a comment

Well if it's bright with the IE80, then it must be bright badly. :) I had IE80 and that iem's are pretty warm and laidback to my ears. The brightness may also have something to do with your amp. I like neutral amp and iem's, that way I know better the sound quality from the dap, which is considered by myself the most important piece of the puzzle. Of course, if the recording itself is bad there is nothing much you can do about it regardless of the gear. That's my opinion.
I just opened it up and re-done the mod with a fresh set of wires (pure silver 30AWG), it sounds much better now. There must have been some kind of short or bad connection before
I see that you highly recommend Kemet film caps, I may look into opening up the Fiio E12 at some point and replacing the WIMA ones that it comes with.
Has anyone opened up an E12?

"Free software" means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

We campaign for these freedoms because everyone deserves them. With these freedoms, the users (both individually and collectively) control the program and what it does for them. When users don't control the program, we call it a "nonfree" or "proprietary" program.

Who gets credit for the first dinosaur in North America depends on one's definition of a description and a fossil
Keith Thomson
In the year 2006 paleontologists will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first description of a dinosaur fossil from North America. In March 1856 Joseph Leidy of Philadelphia wrote a brief paper describing and naming four kinds of 75-million-year-old reptilian teeth that had been discovered the previous year in the Cretaceous beds of the Judith River region of Montana. Without any of the media hoopla that accompanies many dinosaur discoveries today, he showed that two of the new reptiles were unquestionably dinosaurs, as judged from comparison with discoveries made in England 30 years before. These were the first American dinosaurs. (Leidy thought that the other two came from "lacertilians"—lizards—but they eventually turned out to be dinosaurs too.) Or perhaps they weren't. Who gets credit for the first North American dinosaur is a matter that depends on what constitutes a description, what counts as a fossil and whether its collector or describer knew what he had, and when.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
Bartholomeus van der Helst was born in Haarlem in 1613. He moved to Amsterdam around 1627 where he probably trained in the workshop of Nicolaes Eliasz. Pickenoy. Van der Helst married Anna du Pire in 1636. His first known work, The Regents of the Walloon Orphanage (Maison Decartes, Amsterdam) of 1637 reveals the marked influence of his master on his early style. Van der Helst achieved success at an early date and in 1639 received the prestigious commission to paint a large group portrait of The Civic Guard Company of Captain Roelof Bicker and Lieutenant Jan Michielsz. Blaeuw (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), for the same series as The Night Watch by Rembrandt. The completion of that work in 1643 saw Van der Helst's reputation completely established and he succeeded Rembrandt as the portraitist to Amsterdam's wealthy classes.
From 1642 until 1670 Van der Helst received numerous commissions for individual portraits. His technique became smoother and the depiction of clothes and accessories increasingly detailed. His second group portrait, The Celebration of the Peace of Munster at the Crossbowmen's Guild (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), marks the culmination of his technical evolution, and the smooth handling of the brush and fine modelling of the figures evident in this work continued to prevail in all his later works. Van der Helst received important commissions from patrons outside Amsterdam. In 1652 he executed the official portrait of Maria Henrietta Stuart (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), widow of William II of Orange Nassau. In addition to portraits, Van der Helst painted genre scenes and biblical and mythological subjects.
Little is known of the artist's activities as a teacher, although his son Lodewijk seems to have trained in his studio. Van der Helst's style had a significant influence on his contemporaries, and his most important followers include Abraham van den Tempel, Nicolaas van Helt Stocade, and Paulus Hennekyn.

Adding only single JInternalFrame to a JdesktopPane at any time
Hello Everyone,
I'm quiet new to Java and I have 2 queries for the experts here...
I have an MDI application with a JFrame Form as the MainWindow and a JDesktopPane placed inside the MainWindow.
I have menu items to open JInternalFrames inside this JDesktopPane.
Now here is what I want
1) I have designed a login form (a JinternalFrame) and I want when login form is open no other JInternalFrame can be opened, i.e. the menu gets Disabled or anything like that etc.
2) I want only one single JInternalFrame to be open at a time. If a user tries to open another there should be a messageDialog asking confirmation for user to close the current open window and open new one.
another important thing: I am using Netbeans IDE.
Thanx in advance
Remain wired.

In the past they have lost games they should have won. This season however, they have won games thay had no right to win, except for the fact that they now have, committment, team spirit, self belief and a edge to their play that, added to a high skill level, leaves them up there right now with the best of northern hemisphere rugby.
They really came of age in the final against Munster.
They fronted-up.
A missed penalty in the opening minute, seven points down after six, a player down after twenty and 12-6 down at the break. They went 15-6 behind and then delivered a Munster-type performance to come back and rightly claim the spoils.
" In the past people questioned their courage", said a charged-up Matt Williams afterwards, " I never did. And today they've answered those people in the best possible way. They were asked to dig deep and they did. I hope now they get the credit they deserve".
The Australian has to accept praise for his part in their success. The players were there for a while but Williams introduced three vital components, Spooner, Gleeson and Confidence.
It's just two seasons ago that Leinster led Llanelli 21-0 at half time in a vital European Cup game only to end up losing 34-27 and up to yesterday the memory of Reivers in Donnybrook still haunted. But now Williams has cobbled together a side that can compete at any level.
Victory in the Celtic League final sends out a clear message. It's the first trophy Leinster have won in the professional era. It won't be the last. And there is a bigger prize on offer. One that Leinster supporters can realistically dream of seeing being paraded in Donnybrook later this season.

The process of turning a great idea into a patented invention can be lengthy.
Christine McAuliffe, a registered patent attorney with Phoenix-based Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, recommends that potential clients do their own research to see if their product already exists.
McAuliffe estimated that 90 percent of the time, the patent office will object to it, so she does research to be sure someone's invention has a chance before taking the plunge.
"If we find nothing out there related on the idea, then we have a good feel that this may be an idea or invention that could survive the rigors of the patent office," she said.
The average patent could take as little as 12 months or more than two years. Catherine Finney, inventor of Petz on Wheels, received the patent for her product two months ago, although it started selling in 2003.
McAuliffe encourages patent clients to submit a draft that has stipulations broader than the prototype to further protect their invention from copycats who try to change a tiny detail in an effort to steal the idea without legally stealing it.

I know you don't know me. I don't know you either. You probably wont read this whole post, but if you do, please comment. This is a selfish post. Purely for me and my healing process. There is no other place I can write something with total anonymity and maybe get some feedback from real people who might want to help without the emotional investment.
So here's the story:
Once upon a time, in the not so distant past, I lost a ton of weight. 70 pounds to be exact. I generally followed a primal lifestyle along with paul mckenna techniwues. To be truthful, I followed paul mckenna and found my food choices were primal. As I started losing weight, I took up karate and tennis, just for fun. The fun in karate turned out to be talent and after only a year, this housewife, aged 39 at the time, mom to six became top competitor, winning a few championships in bareknuckle knockdown karate. But I have hit a speed bump, well that speed bump is more like Everest.
For the last year and a half, I have been fighting with my inner demons. I have been so depressed. The husband hasn't been working since he came home from deployment (iraq) a year and a half ago. I have been struggling to feed a family of 5 on low pay and unemployment. Christmas for the kids is going to be lean once again. The oldest daughter just went off to boot camp for the air force. Lots going on in my life, seemingly none of it good. I feel like I have been just walking in place, and even taking steps back. I have gained back 30 of those pounds I lost, mostly through binge eating.
I have no drive at all. I have the hardest time to get started doing the things that I enjoy and find myself watching TV or sleeping when I am not working. I dont even clean the house that much anymore.
I am trying to take steps to get me to enjoy life again. I set up a corner in the attic so I can start painting again. I am trying to get back into training karate, maybe even fighting again. The problem is the initial start. I don't feel like starting a painting, I don't feel like going to train, but once I start, I don't want to stop. I feel so good. What can I do to get me to get off the couch? What do you do that makes you happy?
I want to be happy again
PS go ahead and friend me, i need freinds

I am not sure if what I will tell you will help you but maybe it won't make you feel alone. First of all your Husband needs some help, and help that you cannot give him. I know you cannot make him but maybe he will find his way there.
Have you visited your physician about these feelings? I only say this because I felt that way once and my doctor prescribed zoloft. I didn't take it and I kept feeling that way. I would cry when I got to work. I would feel such a depression some days that I would just think I would die that life itself was crushing me and would end up killing me. I felt that way despite my beautiful daughter. Despite everything. The next time I went to my doctor he said you didn't take the zoloft did you. He then explained it to me like this.....our bodies need seratonin to produce seratonin. If we aren't producing enough then we take what we have to make more but it just doesn't get made. So then it throws us in this vicious cycle that we cannot get out of. No matter how much I knew exercise would create endorphines to make me feel better I couldn't do it. A lot of nights I would be in bed by 7 or 8pm. It was a terrible feeling. I got the prescription filled and wonder of wonders it worked. I didn't have to stay on it forever...my body started producing its own seratonin again (eventually) but it did help.
I don't know if this may be a compounding factor for you, but it could be and that is why I suggest talking to your physician. The only other thing is maybe set a goal a week....just one and when you do it for a week then add another one. Maybe a 30 minute walk everyday...to get the endorphines going. I think if you can do that one then when you get home you will feel like doing something more possibly and have that momentum.
The hardest part of anything is just starting it. Sometimes the biggest struggle is the effort. It sounds like things are very tough. I appreciate the sacrifices that your husband and family have made for our Country. I do not know you but I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts (because God does know you). I will pray that life will start to look up for you.
Please go train. I know you will feel better after you do so. It is just that first effort to get you back there and after that one little step (it seems so huge right now) it will start to fall back into place for you.

I was at a low ebb at the beginning of this year - bad medical diagnosis followed by death of family pet. I am not claiming to have been as depressed as you sound but I did feel sorry for myself for a few weeks and was inexorably putting weight on and not caring about what I ate. I like doing crosswords and reading the Sunday paper throughout the week, so I started to walk to my local McD's and back and do my crosswords and reading. It was about 2.75 miles return trip and I tried to power-walk to increase the calories burned. I enjoyed it so much that I started running a little and have now joined a friendly local running group, with whom I run three times a week. I feel much more positive and find that I want to be out walking or running every day. I have lost over a stone since August. I am also a Christian and pray that you will overcome this depression (try not to describe it as 'my depression', if that helps).
"Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself."

Consider that when you were eating low carb you were happy and energetic, and now that you have gone back to a medium carb diet you are feeling depressed. If you react to eating carbs as many people do, with bouts of low blood sugar, it would be a natural physical response to feel blue, even without all you have going on in your life.
On your diet calendar you have selected that what you are recording is "some" of what you eat. Consider trying to record everything, with a goal of reducing your carb intake down to where you had it before.

I just started reading a book called "Spark" about how exercise effects the brain. The more exercise you do (mornings are best) the more your brain produces stress relieving chemicals which have proved as effective as taking an anti-depressant. This doesn't mean don't take your meds, but you can do both and start feeling like yourself again. That's my plan to start now.
We all say we'd do anything to lose weight, but what we mean is we'd do anything but eat better and exercise to lose weight. We are all looking for fix to a long term problem

I agree wit Bootacus. I have battled anxiety and depression since I was in second gradr. NO, back then I was NOT diagnosed but once I was in my 20's and my mom went to a few sessions with me to delve into my past it was like a switch came on. Now don't get me wrong, I have a great family and my childhood was fine but I couldn't handle things like other kids and we now know why. I fought it for years even after we knew what was going on. Once I had my first child I had PPD BAD!! It was zoloft or risk harming my baby so that got me to start taking them. It made a WORLD of difference. The about a year later I went through a divorce from an abusive relationship. I don't know if I would have made it without my amazing doctor and those meds. Yes at one point it was like I was a zombie and numb but I was functioning and working. In time I was able to get them to a point where I could feel but they kept me from going off the deep end as as a single mom that's important! Later in life I met my now husband and had my second child. I had been on and off my meds for years and after the second pregnancy I went into PPD again and gained a ton of weight. OK so where am I going with all this right?
One, you are not alone! Yes, the hubby will need help by the sounds of it as will you together to get this going. I do suggest you see someone on your own. I also agree that exercise is an amazing drug! I have been 95% med free now for over a year and a half thanks to the gym! Not that you have to have a membership, even getting it going at home if possible works. I occassionally take meds when something stressfull is coming up like holidays or a vacation. Otherwise when I feel a breakdown coming on it's time to sweat. I also found that a higher protein diet (not total primal or atkins but kinda) helps control my blood sugar and moods. I know we are all different but I think it's definitely worth a try. Feel free to keep in touch and good luck to you
. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and can get through this!

Wow, what a load of stress you are carrying! It's no wonder you feel unmotivated to put effort towards things you know will make you feel better. I've felt that way before and I started seeing a therapist and learned how to take control and change the things in my life that weren't serving me. I'm going to speculate that you are burned out from the intensity of you prior diet and exercize regimine. Maybe baby steps are in order to get you eased into painting/exercizing again. I truly think that our health is connected-body/mind/soul. When one things out of alignment you will see residual effects in other areas. The good news is there is help out there and we are all here to support you!

I've battled weight and depression pretty much my whole life so I can totally relate to most of what you're going through.
Firstly, get your husband to speak with the Veterans Affairs (VA) office. It's a long process to get registered (we've been waiting almost a year for my husband to go through it) but they can be a huge help. There are all sorts of benefits he can qualify for as a Veteran.
Secondly, you need to get on an anti-depressant. I've taken several different ones throughout my life. The best 2 I've taken were Celexa and Zoloft. I'm currently taking Zoloft because after taking Celexa for so long it stopped working for me. I have new-found energy now and am much happier all around. It won't stop you from feeling emotions, it just makes the lows not so low and it makes them easier to manage.
Try eating a lot of protein and healthy fats, and cut out the bread, pasta, potatoes, and sweets all together. Only drink water or unsweetened tea, except for once a day have a glass of skim milk. Every time I follow that diet I lose a ton of weight. I have horrible self-control, though, when I'm happy and around people who eat badly, so that's how I gain the weight back, and that's why I've been up and down with my weight all my life. After 3 miscarriages and 3 failed fertility treatments, however, I've decided that my body just can't process those kinds of foods. I need to lose the weight and keep it off. Doing that diet, I've lost almost 20 pounds in a month. I also excerise a lot and lift weights. Building muscle will help your metabolism in the long run and you'll burn more fat.
Don't look at your daughter going to boot camp as a negative thing! She is doing a very noble and worthy thing that will greatly benefit her in the future. Make that a positive in your life and build on it!
We all have money struggles these days. Christmas will be lean for us again this year, too. My husband has an 11 year old daughter and we're really having a hard time getting her everything she wants. But Christmas is more about the family time than the gifts. Why don't you start a new family tradition so the focus isn't so much on the gifts? Maybe build a gingerbread house together, or have a Christmas Movie Marathon, or go volunteer at the local soup kitchen - whatever fits your family. That way the gifts aren't the center of things.
Good luck to you!

Wow, what a tough spot to be in. So much weight on your shoulders! But it does sound like it's the issues that surround you that are really bringing you down. Hopefully some of it, if not all of it can become resolved sooner rather than later. Whatever route you take, I wish you the best!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, it does mean a lot to know that there are others like me. So after I got all this off my chest to you good people, I felt better right away. Some of the weight went off my shoulders.
The husband is seeing the VA and he is on zoloft for the last few months. I don't have insurance, so that is not an option for me.
I tried my best to get stuff done today. Still working on the studio but I got alot accomplished up there today, probably be able to paint there this week (working all weekend) then I went in to the dojo early and got to train with the kids. The kids are so much fun and where else do you get to hit children and it is considered appropriate?
Work tomorrow and I am packing a lunch. I work ziplines and if I have no tours to take out, I am going skiing. A friend asked me to teach him how to ski, should be fun.

Zoloft is a generic, with a prescription discount card you could get it for $8/mo. I used it about 15 years ago for 6 months to snap me out of my funk.

I have gone though a similar depressed state and to be honest me and my boss had a chat because if I am off for more than 2 days in a row I slip back into depression unless I have plans. What worked for me was every day I would get up and think. It is a new day, today will be happy, I will get alot done etc. And then push myself to get going, never letting myself rest for a lengthy period because I knew I would not get back up. I am happy to say I am usually happy and energetic for the most part now but it was a bumpy road to start.
Get a shower, and push your self to get things going. One step at a time and if you slip well honey tomorrow is a new day. Good luck

Absolutely. The best way to keep depression at bay, is to have lots of things to look forward to.
Even if its just coffee out with a friend, or a good new book and something tasty, or a movie.

I have been on and off antidepressants for about 9 years but for the past year I have been able to control my depression with exercise. It not only helps my depression but also my fibromyalgia. My husband suffers from an anxiety disorder and although he does take meds he has found that working out makes him feel better. He is able to stay on a lower dose because of this. It's definitely worth it

Apple was quick to update its executive profiles page, after Steve Jobs's announcement late Wednesday that he will step down from his position as Apple CEO. The page now reflects the new organizational structure of the company.
Tim Cook is now listed as the CEO of Apple, while Steve Jobs's new position as chairman of the board at Apple is listed at the bottom of the page. Tim Cook is now also on the board of directors.
The last time Steve Jobs's picture wasn't on that list was in 1997, before he became the interim CEO and began leading Apple to profitability once again. For a quick trip down memory lane, here are snapshots of the Apple executive profiles page from 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2009.

I would define it as a mix of ska, reggae, Latino, and French music, with a touch of humor and jokes between each song. Margaux, the only girl of the band, and her four boys are not only making music, but also telling stories and giving lots of love to their audience.

Monty Python Getting Back Together Again!
All of the surviving members of comedy group Monty Python are to reform for a stage show, one of the Pythons, Terry Jones, has confirmed. "We're getting together and putting on a show - it's real," Jones told the BBC. "I'm quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!" The reunion is expected to be announced officially at a press conference being held in London on Thursday. John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Jones are all due to appear at the event, which was first revealed in the Sun. Eric Idle also tweeted on Monday: "Only three days to go till the Python press conference. Make sure Python fans are alerted to the big forthcoming news event." He added on Tuesday: "Python meeting this morning. Can't wait. Press Conference Thursday will apparently be live on Sky News. I'll get you the online URL." The Ministry of Silly Walks is an iconic Monty Python's sketch Actor and musician Neil Innes - who worked with the Pythons and appeared in the films Life of Brian and Holy Grail said it was "a surprise". "The idea of John doing the silly walks with two false hips is very amusing," he told the BBC. "They influenced everyone in their generation," he continued, "It was the shock of the new. When we were schoolboys, that was The Goon Show. Then they came along, just after the Beatles and they were like the Beatles of comedy." Comic actor and Python fan David Schneider told BBC 5 live that he took news of the reunion with mixed emotions. "The worry is, what if its rubbish, as you get older and wealthier and part of the establishment, you lose your edge comedically. "I'm sure they'll do new stuff, I'd be very disappointed if its all old sketches." The last time the five remaining members of the iconic comedy group appeared together was in 2009 at their fortieth anniversary celebrations in New York. The sixth member of the comedy troupe, Graham Chapman, died in 1989. The press conference will take place at the theatre where Monty Python's Spamalot is running - The Playhouse Theatre in London's West End. Earlier this year, a film producer won a High Court case against the surviving members of Monty Python over royalty rights to the hit stage show. Mark Forstater, who produced the 1975 film Monty Python and The Holy Grail, claimed he was underpaid royalties since the musical's launch in 2005. He estimated he was entitled to more than £200,000. The six members of the team got to know each other firstly through university, and later through their work on television comedy programmes, including The Frost Report. The Pythons' hugely successful, zany BBC TV series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, effectively threw away the rulebook of traditional sketch writing, dispensing with punchlines and allowing sketches to blend into each other or simply stop abruptly. The first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus was broadcast on 5 October, 1969. It ran for four series and spawned spin-off records, books and even German-language specials. Gilliam's unique animation style became a key element of the show, segueing seamlessly between any two completely unrelated ideas. The comedy group made their successful film Monty Python and the Holy Grail on a small budget in between filming the third and fourth series of their TV show. Their next film was the highly controversial Monty Python's Life Of Brian, released in 1979. Telling the story of a man mistaken for Jesus, the film was attacked by Christian groups and banned in some areas. Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life was released in 1983 and was another financial and critical success, winning the jury prize at Cannes film festival. Life of Brian featured the classic song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life The Pythons also went on to forge successful solo careers while continuing to collaborate with each other. Cleese famously co-wrote the hugely successful BBC TV comedy series Fawlty Towers, which first ran in 1975, with Connie Booth, who had appeared in Monty Python's Flying Circus. He also wrote the hit comedy film A Fish Called Wanda in 1988, in which he starred with Palin. Gilliam pursued a film career, and his credits include 1981's Time Bandits, which he co-wrote with Palin, who starred in it alongside Cleese. Gilliam's futuristic 1981 fantasy film Brazil also featured Palin, while 1988's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, about the supposed travels of the baron, featured Idle. Palin and Jones went on to write together, and Palin starred in their comic TV series Ripping Yarns, a collection of tales that make "ripping good" television. Idle performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony last year Four Python members - Jones, Idle, Cleese and Palin - also appeared in Jones's 1996 adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's novel The Wind in the Willows. Cleese has also had a hugely successful acting career including roles in Clockwise, two James Bond films and two Harry Potter films. Palin has also starred in films including The Missionary and A Private Function and has of course made a huge name for himself with his award-winning travel documentaries. Idle went on to create spoof Beatles band The Rutles and wrote the hit Spamalot musical. He also performed Always Look on the Bright Side of Life at the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony in London. Jones wrote the screenplay for the movie Labyrinth and he has also written and presented historical documentaries for TV. Chapman did a lecture tour in the US and took on various film projects including The Odd Job and Yellowbeard before his death from cancer 24 years ago. |

just wondering. we rent a house on ten acres and we wanted to get cows, i wanted to get a milk cow and then a meat cow or two.. but out landlord lends a lot of the big field already to someonefor their cows. so how many would we have to have on it so she could still get the tax refund or brake or whatever it is that she would get?
You are not going to get much investment credit on a milk cow and none on a beef . Farmers are allowed to take investment credit on breeding animals if they pay income tax on the increase sold from these animals. I don't think you will be able to carry very many cows on ten acres, maybe four adult cattle. If you are asking how many acres is considered a farm for filing for farm income you will have to check with your income tax preparer. I think this is more determined on the fact that you intend to make a profit and pay income tax on your profit from the farm. http://www.ehow.com/about_5437771_part-farm-income-tax-deductions.html
Not sure what you are asking, but, I never heard of a "tax break" for owning cows. As Linn says you can get investment credit and depreciation on breeding stock, and there is a difference when you sell if it is raised cow or purchased. There ain't no "tax break" for simply owning some cows that I ever found.
As some have said allready, a milk cow or one beef will be nothing more than a benifit for you. You will have to have several cows or cattle to have an income to become a working farm and recieve a tax break for being a farm and not just a home. You also need to make a profit in three years or you just have a hobby and then not really a farm. That will be the only tax break you will get is going from a residence were you live to being a livestock farm. You may even have to be rezoned depending on where you live. But the best thing is to talk to a GOOD agriculture tax man. Good Luck, > Marc
The "tax break" in Oklahoma is that you pay no sales tax on feed and supplies used on a farm. In order to qualify you must have a farm tax number, for which you apply. To get one you must file the agriculture income tax forms with the state and IRS. I've read in the past couple of years that some tax assessors are contesting the farm exemption where the farms are very small, and one fellow told me that he did not apply in his county because he was told that there was a 5 cow minimum for cattle raisers. I suspect that this varies around the country. I've also been told that the IRS has never challenged a small farmer's losses where the losses were small in relation to the income. In short, small farmers can report small losses almost forever. This I would not guarantee--my goal is profit. I'm satisfied with small losses if they are caused by depreciation on new equipment.
If you sell over 1000 dollars from your place you may file a schedule F on your federal taxes and then you may write off certain items that count as farm expenses. Their is no rule about making a profit every so often but if you don't and you get audited you had better be able to show that you were actually trying to make the farm work as a farm, not just a hobby. You would be well served to contact a CPA and find out if they have any experience with farms. They may cost some to get the taxes done but we have found the money to be well spent. Certain states have different rules as to how your property taxes work. Some have acreage limits, some don't there again, a CPA will know the rules.
Sounds like a good time to talk to an accountant who specializes in ag.. mine does and he is invaluable on answering questions or helping me understand our laws.
Great post Ox! I've been doing this for years now and am also seeing the number of Tax ID cards being issued diminish.

I think he's talking about the CAUV (current agricultural use value) . It's a tax brak on real estate taxes. Her in Ohio if it's under 10 acres (house and yard does not count) you have to show proof of at least $2500 gross income from farmin. 10 or more no proof is needed. Chris
