My Memories of a Future Life

The Undercover Soundtrack – Kathryn Guare
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on September 4, 2013
'Intensity, wildness and urban mayhem'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week's post is by debut suspense author Kathryn Guare @KGuare
Soundtrack by Great Courses audio seminars, sound of rain, sound of thunder, Secret Garden, Solas, Arbaaz Khan, Rory Gallagher, Mychael Danna, Luka Bloom, Samuel Barber
When I first began writing what would eventually become my debut suspense novel, Deceptive Cadence, I started it at the end. I just didn't realize it.
The book tells the story of Conor McBride, an Irish musician turned reluctant undercover operative. The beginning details his recruitment for a very personal mission to India to find and capture his own brother, but the first scene that came to me ended up as the beginning of its final chapter. At the time I knew little about the protagonist. He didn't even have a name. I knew he was Irish, and was emerging from a traumatic, life-changing ordeal. He was physically depleted, emotionally raw, and frightened. Why? I didn't know. To find out, I kept writing.
While random scenes and bits of dialogue were popping into my head, I was commuting two hours a day to my job—and going through my local library's inventory of audio books at a rapid rate—when I happened upon a Great Courses audio seminar called How to Listen to and Understand Great Music. To say it had an influence on my writing life would be a vast understatement. Not only did it influence the title of the book (explained here), it also inspired one of the central features of its hero—he's a virtuoso violinist. Once I had that aspect of his character nailed down, Conor McBride's personality and all his complexity began to come alive. Many readers of Deceptive Cadence tell me Conor is quite a departure from the typical, stock heroes of suspense/thrillers. He's a complicated character that they want to know better. I owe that to the Great Courses, and the moment I decided he needed to be a gifted musician.
I'm easily distracted by music. The only thing I can have playing in the background while I'm writing are those 'sounds of nature' tracks—rain water, thunder, bells tolling, monks chanting—but when looking for inspiration I go walking with my ipod, my music choices driven by whatever theme I'm concentrating on in a given scene.
Into chaos
One theme of the book is the paradox of an honorable man forced by circumstance to reinvent himself into something less so. Conor disappears into an assumed identity and enters a world of cold-blooded deception and violence. And finds he is good at it. The internal chaos this creates is mirrored by the literal chaos of his external surroundings. India is a kettle perpetually at full boil, vibrant and desperate, cunning and guileless, its teeming humanity contributing to an overwhelming sensory experience of sights, sounds and smells.
Secret Garden's atmospheric piece Moving captured that internal and external tumult for me, almost a theme song for Conor's entire journey, so that I ended up including it in my book trailer. It begins with an ominous drumbeat underlying a melody of violin and soaring flutes, evoking the Irish sea coast, but the intensity grows, creating a cascading sense of wildness, perfectly symbolizing the physical and psychic movement from idyllic country setting to exotic, urban mayhem.
The Irish-American group Solas does a cover of Jesse Colin Young's moody Darkness Darkness that inspired me as I watched Conor falling farther from himself. After committing an act of violence that revolts him, he wanders the dark streets of Mumbai, wrestling with guilt, and I thought of this song as I wrote that scene.
For the Indian side of the equation, Munni Badnam by Arbaaz Khaan from the 2010 Bollywood blockbuster Dabaang, is a song with a driving urban beat that conjures the modern, kaleidoscopic frenzy of Mumbai's crowded streets and throbbing nightlife. At the 1:06 mark, you even get a taste of something like a mash-up of a Hindi-Irish reel!
I've also belatedly discovered the legendary Irish rocker Rory Gallagher, and for some pure, tongue-in-cheek fun, his Philby is perfect for epitomising some of Conor's disdain for the world of secret intelligence and the testy relationship with his American control officer. Ironically, Rory offers some fierce, sitar-like plucking at the song's mid-point.
Touching the mystical
Another important theme of the book is Conor's connection to the mystical, and the special relationship he feels with some of the people in his life – his near-psychic mother, and the tiny Indian mafia wife and guru who becomes a spiritual anchor for him. Turning again to Indian cinema, Love and Marigolds from Monsoon Wedding instantly puts me in the right space for this theme, as does Luka Bloom's Sanctuary, and Secret Garden's Hymn to Hope.
Back to classical
For the most emotional and climactic scenes of the book, I went back to the classical realm and the second movement of Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14. I never make it through this without crying, almost from the opening notes of its poignant clarinet solo. The entire movement, with a discordant violin gradually resolving into gorgeous melody, seems like an ode to sorrowful loss that is somehow balanced against a staggering, awe-struck wonder. I won't reveal details, but suffice it to say this is Conor experiencing a powerful moment of grace even as he is shaken by the reality of grief.
I would like to say I'm a connoisseur of music, but that would be giving myself too much credit. I am more like a committed dilettante. I'm a curious listener and lover of diverse forms, which I experience with emotional enthusiasm rather than any depth of expertise, but at least I can say that the Great Courses seminar worked. I now can listen to and understand great music, and it fuels every creative effort I undertake.

My TweetsWhat is The Undercover Soundtrack?
Sleeve notes hereFor the soundtrack of My Memories of a Future Life, you'll need Chopin's Sonata in B Minor, Rachmaninov preludes, lashings of Grieg's piano concerto in A minor and The Clash's Rock the Kasbah (they go together well).
You'll also need Samuel Barber's Dover Beach on piano, although that doesn't actually exist so do the best you can.
And the novel's undercover pieces. You can find them here

Rand Paul and Republicans Love Tax Evasion and Offshore Havens
On Friday, the Republican National Committee passed a resolution calling for a repeal of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), effectively endorsing offshore tax evasion. FATCA was passed in 2010 and requires foreign banks to report deposit information on account holders from the United States, a requirement that U.S. banks must comply with. The purpose of the law is to prevent U.S. citizens from evading taxes by stashing their money in offshore accounts. If the repeal became law, Global Financial Integrity (GFI), a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization, projects that the U.S. budget deficit would balloon by billions of dollars.

Malone had a hotel elevator malfunction filming her sexy character introduction (a strip down in her leather outfit) in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
Jena Malone's elevator strip-down in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire might be the best character introduction ever in the franchise — but it came at a price.
As sexy tribute Johanna Mason, Malone takes off her skin-tight leather outfit in front of shocked fellow tributes (played by Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson) after meeting them on an elevator.
For Malone, the first problem was learning just how to strip down her complex outfit while shooting in a crowded Atlanta hotel elevator in front of the trio and the film's cameraman.
Even though the hotel had 49 floors, Malone realized she didn't have a lot of time for the tricky task.
"It was a really fast elevator," she says. "At first, we'd get to the door opening, and I'd still be halfway dressed and falling out of the elevator.
"I realized I was going to need some time. I had to choreograph, because I had these bracelets and the whole zipper down the side of the outfit and then taking off the shoes," she adds. "It was literally like a six-second striptease. I became a really good burlesque dancer."
By the end of the day of shooting and countless takes, Malone had finally nailed the routine, which took her down to little more than pasties as personal protection. But the film assistant in charge of the elevator sent it to the wrong floor, where an unsuspecting hotel guest was waiting.
"I finally got all of the timing bits down," Malone says. "And as I turned to go, the elevator doors opened. And there was a guy holding two cups of coffee from Starbucks trying to get onto the elevator. I just walked out. I was like, 'OK, keep going!' And he was totally unfazed. It's like me, naked in all of Joanna's glory, and then Woody Harrelson, Jen (Lawrence) and Josh (Hutcherson) and the camera operator behind me."
"It was the best moment of my life," she adds.
All will be truly revealed on-screen when The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens Nov. 22.

Bonnie Dumanis Says She Deserves Pension, Supports Eliminating Pensions For Future Workers
Monday, May 14, 2012
Aired 5/14/12 on KPBS Midday Edition.
Bonnie Dumanis is currently serving as San Diego County's District Attorney and is a candidate to be San Diego's next mayor.
Special Feature San Diego Mayor's Race
Special Feature San Diego Voter Guide
Special Feature KPBS Election Coverage
District Attorney and mayoral candidate Bonnie Dumanis says when she retires, she stands to earn just under $200,000 for her pension. She also supports Proposition B, which would put an end to pensions for new city employees and give them 401(k)-style plans instead.
Dumanis told KPBS that after her career in public service, she feels she earned her pension, but said as mayor she would vote to end pensions for new employees.
"I worked for 38 years from a junior typist to prosecutor to superior court judge and district attorney, breaking many glass ceilings along the way," she said. "But never was I in a position to make a decision about pensions or on my salary and as mayor I will be in that position."
She said if Proposition B passes, new city employees will know they aren't receiving pensions when they are hired.
"And the market has changed," she said. "We can't afford the benefits and we've got to look at the salaries in the private industry as well."
She added that younger workers are more mobile today, so they do not expect pensions.
Dumanis said reports in Voice of San Diego that she will receive at least $249,000 for her pension are incorrect.
Although Dumanis has consistently been last in the polls, she told KPBS she is not worried about the election on June 5.
"I'm not in fourth place," she said. "Campaigns are always in flux, polls are for the moment, and the same polls showed me 20 percent behind a week before I won district attorney in 2002."
She added her campaign was not showing television commercials when the last poll was taken, but they are now.
"We have been very aggressive," she said. "As I go out to talk to people I'm really humbled by the support I get about my plans, about my experience, and the difference about what I bring to the table, which is 38 years in San Diego, working in San Diego and giving back to the community."
Dumanis said she doesn't look at polls "because the only poll that counts is June 5."
"It's really just something the insiders look at," she said. "People really haven't started focusing yet, and now they're beginning to because the ballots have gone out."
"I'm in it to win it and I plan on being the next mayor of San Diego," she said.
A mayoral scorecard created by Voice of San Diego shows Dumanis largely holds the same positions as City Councilman Carl DeMaio and state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, and Dumanis agreed "we are similar on a lot of issues."
"But the difference is the three others are legislators," she said. "The type of experience you get as a Washington insider or a Sacramento politician or a city councilman doesn't prepare you for the job of mayor."
She said being mayor is like being CEO of a multi-billion-dollar organization with 10,000 employees.
"So I think I bring something different to the table," she said.
Dumanis said she has long supported same-sex marriage and stood with Mayor Jerry Sanders at a press conference to urge people to vote against Proposition 8 to ban gay marriage. She said she has been married to her partner Denise for three years.
She also said she has always been supportive of abortion rights.
Dumanis added if elected, she will donate her entire mayoral salary to education programs and would not enter the pension system "at all."

So other employees didn't earn their retirement but she did? She was the only person who worked hard? She brings, not something new to the table, but the same old political hypocrisy and pandering to special groups. Personally, I'll pass on voting for her. I'm tired of CEOs and CEO wannabes getting all the money and telling the rest of us to collect cans for our retirement. It gets old.

Bonnie and Dirty Carl are both typical **I got mine, so screw the rest of you** Republicans.
It reminds memos the tea party protesters on Medicare who were holding up signs against healthcare reform saying, "No socialized medicine!" right above "Don't touch my Medicare!"
Bonnie is surprisingly blatant about this.
Dirty Carl is a little more sly.
In his case, he became a millionaire in the "private sector" and doesn't need a pension because he's already very wealthy. Far more wealthy than someone would be solely off of a city council person salary. The ironic part is that DeMaio's "private sector" business was based on being awarded **government contracts**. So, Dirty Carl likes to tout his private sector business, yet his profits came from tax payers.
So what Dirty Carl is saying is this:
'I became a very rich man by profiting from tax payers via government contracts so I don't need a pension because I'm set. But, I will score political points by cutting it off for my colleagues who aren't rich and who didn't expat government contracts to become rich to score political points.
It's a bit more laundered than the blatant hypocrisy Dumanis is puking out. But it's just as sleazy.
Dirty Carl.
Two people who would be a danger to our city.
I support Filner, however Fletcher is also far, FAR better than either of these two.

By the way, has anyone seen Dirty Carl's television ads?
They are laughable.
He actually has a line in there saying he's not a political city insider.
REALLY, Carl???????
You are endorsed by the local GOP bosses, and our largest media outlet owned by Old Man Manchester who has been pulling strings at city hall for decades gave you a wrap-around front page endorsement!
And you will "fight against" the city establishment?
My word, who the hell are your ads targeted at, Filthy DeMaio???? People who are too stupid to know what year it is!?
mattman | May 14, 2012 at 2:57 p.m. ― 4 years, 10 months ago
This is confusing. Will Dumanis collect a pension or not when she retires? The topic is covered pretty well and then in the last sentence it says she won't enter the pension system? What is all the banter about if she is not even going to enter into the pension plan? People of San Diego should be voting for her big time. She is a true representative of the city. She will serve out of her capacity to serve and will donate her entire salary back to the community where she wants to and will not be another weight on the back of an already stumbling crippled pension fund that should never have been instituted in the first place. She is willing to do the job as was intended to be done when the country was formed. As an honor to be selected and for minimal compensation. Even though the job pays way too much for a job where you are supposed to be running in order to guide the city in its best interests and not because it pays good and has good benefits or perks. She will utilize her position to foster her relationships for when she goes into the private sector doing what she wants to. She is networking

Thanks for all your comments. mattman, to clarify, the last part of the interview referred to whether Bonnie Dumanis will enter into the public pension system if she becomes mayor. Dumanis says she will not. She will however, collect the pension she has already earned as a public employee. Hope that helps.

MONROE The United Way of Monroe County officially concluded its annual fund-raising campaign yesterday.
It raised $1.37 million that will provide services to about 31,000 people in the county, which is about $393,000 less than the agency s goal of $1.76 million.
David Nixon, president of Monroe County Community College and chairman of this year s campaign, said the threat of local plant closings and the many layoffs in the community contributed to the lower contributions.

I wonder what she'd be like in bed and what he'd be like in the ring
I have to confess that within the first few moments of seeing a man, I'm usually doing something similar. No, no, not that similar. I'm sizing him up, assessing whether or not I could take him. Is this normal? If not, what do guys think about first when they see other guys? How much social prestige he has? How wealthy he is? Not much of anything at all?
How about women when they see another woman? How pretty she is (without the gratuitous male imagery that accompanies it)? Her sense of style?

Ah, that reminds me of a good Carlyle quote I stuffed in one of my essays ( http://www.gwern.net/The%20Melancholy%20of%20Subculture%20Society ), which went:
"the ultimate question between man and man is 'Can I kill thee, or canst thou kill me?'"
I don't know if Carlyle was using it in the context of the initial physical interaction, but it would certainly fit. - 10/20/11, 3:50 PM
I think: Can this guy do anything for me?
Generally speaking, I don't mean in this in the sense of directly serving me or putting money in my pocket but in the sense of "does he have anything to say that will enrich my life"?
If the answer seems to be "yes," I say "Hi" and start talking. If it seems likely to be "no," I pretty much forget his existence immediately. - 10/20/11, 5:27 PM

I do that in general at parties. I always feel I can take care of myself, but I shouldnt be the toughest guy anywhere, so if I am at a party and dont think a single guy could beat me up, I know I am at a SWPL or artist party (my wife is an artist).
To The Audacious Epigone, do you happen to be a woman? If so, are most of your readers and visitors women?
Richard Dawkins in the "Selfish Gene" talks about how each gender has to use a gender specific survival strategy and tactic.
Men having more testosterone and physical capability in general can and will get into physical confrontations more often than women, who has to worry about protecting her sexual organs and valuable eggs.
Also since most women are weaker physically, it would make more sense for many of them to employ words and negotiation rather than direct confrontation. I suppose this is why gossip is highly important to many of them, since women can exchange valuable information between each other to enhance their reproductive success with "desired" men.
Women generally looking for protection and resources in the form of social power or fitness, while men look for reproductive success, hence attracted to younger healthy body types. - 10/20/11, 5:51 PM
- Audacious Epigone said...
That's relevant irrespective of the exact context. The initial, the mid-game, and the conclusion can be one in the same.
That has to be a more efficacious way of going about things, and if I'm honest about it, it probably reveals more self-security, too.
Son of Brock Landers,
As an M:TG player, I definitely know the feeling, believe me!
Lexus Liberal,
Haha, I get that question a lot more than I ever expected I would. Male, as are most readers, not just here, but in most of the blogosphere that doesn't have to do with self-help or celebrity gossip. - 10/20/11, 6:32 PM
Depends on context, I was bouncer for 3 years and studied martial arts most of my life as well as street fighting as youth until the martial arts training got through to me that that was a bad idea. So I tend to enjoy imagining fights. However I only tend to to it in social isolated scenarios, walking down the st. meeting large groups of people etc. In informal small group settings I am more interested in whether that person would be interesting to talk to or train with. I don't tend to imagine most women in bed either though. Again I do that primarily in situations were I don't know anyone like walking at the beach in summer.
- Ed Tom Kowalsky said...
Related to what SoBL said, one good thing about being in academia, I know I'm always the toughest guy in the room.
Is this normal?
I don't know. I do it, but my dad had a habit of slapping me around and I assume that's what made me hostile and suspicious to other men. - 10/21/11, 11:55 AM
How much social prestige he has? How wealthy he is?
Never crosses my mind.
I read that guys are supposed to be all hierarchical and compete with each other in all sorts of ways. I'm competitive in games/sports, but other than that I don't rank myself vs other men. - 10/21/11, 12:02 PM
I always size up people by whether or not I can learn something from them or whether I know more than they do about everything, literally. So, I could even find a carpenter or concrete contractor interesting to talk to, but most women are intensely boring.

Off topic:
Razib has a table of what % of Mexican-Americans identify racially as white by state:
As a commenter points out, eyeballing suggests there is a pretty high correlation between that number and how Republican the state is and/or how Republican the non-Hispanic whites in the state are. E.g., Texan Mexican-Americans are more likely to identify as racially white than are Californian Mexican-Americans.
I suspect causality runs in both directions. - 10/21/11, 11:05 PM
- bbartlog said...
I don't do this... sounds very 'Fight Club'. But I didn't get into a lot of fights as a kid and was never beaten up, so I expect that it was never impressed onto my unconscious mind as an important matter.
I don't do this. Not as a first thing, anyway. With men the first thing I am doing is trying to judge how smart they are. That actually sounds very much like what you are doing - just a different trait. With women - yes, first thoughts/analysis are sexual.
- hbd chick said...
"How about women when they see another woman?"
i'm not your typical woman so i'm probably not the best gal to answer this question. but even i have some girlie traits, and i think the answer to your question is: "Is she more/less attractive than me?", i.e. where do i stand in the ranking compared to her. and after that: "Is she someone I should ally myself with (to help me get a man/men/social standing/whatever)."
am in full agreement with silly girl -- most women are intensely boring! - 10/23/11, 3:23 PM
Yes, now that you bring it up, it seems like I do think "can I take him?" when I encounter a strange male in the age range of late teens to middle age. It's a very brief, almost unconcious thought; and not always. By "take him," I mean win a fight.
Yes, if a female is attractive, a first thought is often sexual. - 10/24/11, 3:44 PM
I look at older men to see how they're holding up. Same with older women. I check out younger women for "fit and "finish". As for young men, teens especially, I wonder how conplicit they will be in their own death.
Do you really do that to every man and woman you meet? Perhaps you feel insecure or you have OCD?
I'm confident that I can beat most men in a fight so it's taken for granted. The only time I think about it is if the male is a big, alpha type and aggressive. In that case I'm already strategizing.
Likewise with women there has to be a stimulus, I don't find most women attractive. I'm only attracted to Nordish women of a fertile age who are at least above average in attractiveness. The more attracted I am to them the more I think about it. It's certainly not something I'm preoccupied with or scanning the room like a pervert undressing all the women.
However in Lithuania or Latvia I'd be in trouble! I don't know how the men get any work done. - 11/19/11, 4:41 AM
As an M:TG player, I definitely know the feeling, believe me!
"M:TG" is "Magic: The Gathering", right?
You're beta as hell, man. Aren't you like in your late 20s or 30s too? So it's not like you have the excuse of being a kid or something. - 11/26/11, 12:00 PM
My boyfriend is 6'6 and I notice other men noticing him all the time. They turn and have to twist up their heads to see his head height. That brought to my attention that men immediately assess other men as a threat or not by how big they are. I have had older women comment to me in front of him that they find him scary and they don't believe me that he is totally kind.
For me, I look to see friendly they are but can't help noticing if they are handsome/pretty. That's it, I don't rank myself or look to get something from them. Of course if its an aggressive male then i would be looking to get away from them as fast as possible so I am not immune the the threat thing either. - 2/5/12, 1:00 PM

Kyoto Withdrawal: There Must Be a Political Price to Be Paid
I am just back from Durban and COP17. So is Peter Kent. Only he came back and announced that Canada will strike a blow at the fragile agreement that was just produced. As I am sure you have heard, Canada has filed the legal paperwork to withdraw from Kyoto.
Never before in Canadian history has this country withdrawn from a treaty we have ratified -- not on any issue. Ever.
I don't see how other delegations that dealt with Canada's obstructionist position in Durban, in which we negotiated as a Kyoto party, will possibly regard this as anything but negotiating in bad faith.
Ever since CTV broke the story that the Harper cabinet had decided to legally withdraw from Kyoto -- with no debate and no vote in the House -- I have been, at one and the same time, certain the leak was correct while hoping they would not go through with it.
And now they have. It is devastating. It is even worse than all the other regressive steps of the Harper government in blocking climate action.
Kent announced legal withdrawal with a flurry of bizarre and untrue scare tactics. As if the Kyoto Protocol had effective sanctions for law breakers like Canada. As if Kyoto had the kind of draconian mandatory minimums of the omnibus crime bill. Kyoto has no effective enforcement mechanisms. The only penalty would be for a country that decided to enter into second commitment period negotiations (NOT Canada). And even then it would only mean that the target Canada would negotiate (if we were negotiating) would have a top up of 0.3 of a tonne for every tonne we agreed to. So in negotiations we could take into account the amount of the penalty and set out a target low enough to absorb the penalty. Each country negotiates what it will accept. That's why in 1997, Australia's Kyoto target was eight per cent above 1990 levels, when all other industrialized countries were to go below 1990 levels. (Canada by six per cent, U.S. by seven per cent, and the EU by eight per cent.) True, most European nations did not hit eight per cent. They cut 20 per cent and more. Europe as a block has more than met its Kyoto targets.
Kent claimed staying in Kyoto would cost $14 billion. Rubbish.
What are they spinning? The cost of trying, with no plan and a year from the target, to reduce our emissions enough to meet the six per cent target -- and then deciding to buy enough credits to meet the target -- could be $14 billion. I haven't checked their math because the whole idea is screamingly bogus. Nothing in Kyoto obliges us to spend one dime. Nothing in Kyoto could induce or require a country to buy credits.
And now, despite Harper's death wish for Kyoto and Kent's "Kyoto is in the past" mentality, look what was approved in Durban: a second commitment period under Kyoto. Not enough countries have signed up to accept targets, but the intention is to do so. Hardly "in the past."
What's in the past? Canada's reputation as a country with any integrity. Canada's reputation as a country showing environmental leadership.
What must not be "in the past" is our chance to avoid cataclysmic climate change.
We are running out of time (see the latest International Energy Agency report). Durban's agreements are weak and Canada just gave them a swift kick in a place that hurts.
So although, like me, you may feel like throwing yourself down and weeping for the betrayal of our future, for the loss of Canada's ratification of Kyoto, do not waste the energy. Get back up. And fight.
Get back up and resolve: Stephen Harper must not be allowed to get away with this. There must be a political cost.
Write letters to every newspaper denouncing the will of the majority of Canadians who support Kyoto was ignored. Spend some time on media websites. Write comments. Vote thumbs up or down. If you have a Conservative MP, leave them messages on the constituency phone lines. Demand an appointment. Organize protests. Go online to sign petitions. Send a donation to the Sierra Club, the Suzuki Foundation, or the WWF and ask them to mount campaigns to demand we stay in Kyoto. Our legal withdrawal does not take effect until next year, so we have time to push back.
Ask why Parliament was allowed to vote on Kyoto ratification (Dec. 17, 2002) but given no chance to debate or vote on withdrawal in 2011. Ask why they are lying to Canadians and claiming staying in Kyoto would cost $14 billion.
I know it is almost Christmas, but how can we rejoice with our children and grandchildren when a lifeline to their future was just sawed off by a reckless government?
This is not a partisan issue. Mulroney showed global leadership on climate. Chretien ratified, but never gave us a plan. Paul Martin (with Dion as environment minister) produced a decent plan. Stephen Harper killed the plan within weeks of becoming prime minister. It is clear that the prime minister does not have one single solitary clue of why reducing GHG matters. But he does understand political cost. This betrayal must cost.
Even though it is almost Christmas, almost Hanukkah and the holidays, skip some last-minute shopping. Whatever you were going to buy, your children need a liveable world much much more.

Braised Pork Roll: Braciolona
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder or leg, butterflied and pounded to yield 1 large piece 1/2-inch thick and 12-inches square
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, baked for 8 minutes in a 400 degree F oven
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- 3/4 cup freshly grated young pecorino cheese
- 16 slices prosciutto di Parma, about 1/2 pound
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered lengthwise
- Several gratings of nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons of dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 red onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 3 (28-ounce) cans plum tomatoes, crushed by hand, juices included
- 2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
Lay the pork on a cutting board and season with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of the parsley, the pine nuts, currants, and 1/2 cup of the pecorino and season with salt and pepper. Lay the prosciutto slices over the pork piece to cover completely. Sprinkle the parsley mixture evenly over the prosciutto. Arrange the eggs in two rows across the meat. Grate nutmeg over the other piece and sprinkle with two tablespoons of the oregano, rubbing it between your fingers to release the essential oils. Carefully roll the piece up like a jellyroll and tie firmly with butcher's twine in several places. Season with salt and pepper.
In an 8-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil until smoking. Carefully brown the pork roll on all sides, taking your time to get a deep golden brown; this should take 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.
Add the onions, remaining 2 tablespoons of oregano, and the garlic to the pan and cook until light golden brown and soft, about 9 to 11 minutes. Add the wine, tomatoes, and pepper flakes and bring to a boil. Return the pork to the pan and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour and 20 minutes, moving occasionally to avoid sticking.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and remove the butcher's twine carefully. Slice the braciolona 3/4inch thick with a very sharp knife. Arrange like shingles on a warm platter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated pecorino and remaining chopped parsley. Cover and keep warm if serving after the pasta course.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I'd do what aclark said. It says right in the API documentation that the LANCZOS filter "may also introduce some ringing artifacts" which is what I think you are experencing on the star.
As for the heart, that's another story, you could try a different filter, changing the bit-depth, etc. Try to isolate it, create a seperete project and do it in that so you can focus on it and it only. If you can't reproduce it then it is something in your app, otherwise it is something with the image and you can try different things to fix it.
Yes, it is beyond me too. I am familiar with the transparent pixels concept, but I didn't even know about adding an alpha channel to a bitmap to get transparent pixels.
I did try other filters because the star seems to be a problem with the filter (the heart doesn't though), but it didn't help. I know it can work on BlackBerry's because I set the bitmaps as the screen background and they scaled properly and the transparent pixels worked. But using transparent pixels for the screen background does not achieve the desired effect as the user can see the screen below.
Thanks again for all the assistance though. I do not know how I could do this without help from people like you. I too try to contribute back to the forum that has helped me so much.
I'm also experiencing artifacting when scaling transperant images.
Interesting. This occurs using all three filters though.
If transperancy is not set, the artifacts go away but obvious, alpha channel is also gone.
Hi All
Even I am trying to get the Transparency pixel when resized. Can you please help me in this context.
My Code is
_offPicture = new Bitmap( _prefferredWidth, _prefferredHeight); Bitmap resizeBitmapOff = Bitmap.getBitmapResource(offImage); resizeBitmapOff.scaleInto(_offPicture, Bitmap.FILTER_BILINEAR, Bitmap.SCALE_STRETCH);
After the above code, I am using "_offPicture" inside BitmapField.
Can you tell me what and How I need to set Alpha, so that I can see transparent Image
Hi All
After trying few more times, I got the solution and the code is as follows
public static Bitmap resizedImage(String imageName, int width, int height) { Bitmap actualBitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource(imageName); Bitmap resizedBitmap = new Bitmap(width, height); resizedBitmap.createAlpha(Bitmap.ALPHA_BITDEPTH_8BPP); int[] stripe=new int[width]; for (int n=width-1;n>=0;n--) stripe[n]=0; for (int y=height-1;y>=0;y--) resizedBitmap.setARGB(stripe,0,width,0,y,width,1); actualBitmap.scaleInto(resizedBitmap, Bitmap.FILTER_BILINEAR, Bitmap.SCALE_STRETCH); return resizedBitmap; }
I have a question:
I think there is little bit performance issues by doing a for loop. Is there any other solution for the above
Since you should only do the resizing once and than cache, performance of one loop is not going to be noticeable.
You should be good to go.
For those interested, I just posted some code to fix the edging and other artifacts problems created by scaleInto(). Post: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Develo

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi's pledge to maintain the ECB's record low benchmark rate of 0.5% -- and possibly push it below the current level -- has given the EUR bears renewed confidence, euro-bonds a leg up, and equity markets a green light to proceed at full-speed ahead. With fixed-income dealers pricing in a more aggressive Federal Reserve tapering, the mighty dollar is in demand ahead of this morning's headline event – nonfarm payrolls (NFP). However, buyers should beware as the outcome of this jobs report always has the potential to undo all of the good with one soft stroke.
Obviously today's key event, the NFP report, will determine the direction of the buck and all the other asset classes. The stronger-than-expected U.S. data that's been released over the past week has definitely raised market expectation to new heights for today's labor release. The Fed has loudly acknowledged that they are heavily leaning on the labor market for guidance and each NFP release from here until the end of the year will be a contentious event.
Speculators, investors, and dealers alike will be looking at this morning's print to be broadly supportive of a potential September taper in a matter of mere weeks. The fixed-income asset class will be the most active of classes if the market is surprised greatly in either direction by the employment headline.
To Taper or Not To Taper
The market is expecting net new U.S. payroll jobs to come in somewhere just above their earlier expected consensus print of +180k, and probably just shy of the psychological +200k number. On the face of it, despite U.S. gross hiring remaining tame, the drop in initial claims over the past four weeks would certainly suggest that American layoffs are falling further. Many are taking the better readings on claims as reason enough to edge the unemployment rate down to +7.3% from +7.4%. Although the rates market will be highly keyed in on payrolls and its implications for Fed tapering at the mid-month Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, many analysts now believe that it would take an extraordinarily weak reading for the Fed to refrain from reducing its asset purchases – to many individuals, a token taper starts in just two weeks.
The fixed-income dealers favor selling product on rallies as they expect the yield range to continue to gradually push higher. U.S. 10-year notes currently trade at +2.92% with short-term aspirations of punching through the highly influential +3% level. The biggest obstacle for a higher rate environment remains the market's uncertainty over the Syrian situation and the potential for another fiscal showdown on the horizon. These are reasons that make it hard for U.S. and global yields to jump substantially higher. Bonds remain the investor's primary safer-haven asset class.
Bank of Canada Takes Predictable Route
An NFP print coming in close to consensus would remain supportive of the dollar. It could be the beginning of the next dollar bid higher against emerging markets and the G-10 alike. From what we have seen from the emerging markets space over the past number of weeks, investors should be expecting further weakness from TRY, INR, and MXN outright on a consensus or stronger headline from the labor report. As for the G-10, the game plan for many remains the same. Current market consensus continues to favor long USD/JPY and short EUR/USD positioning – interest differential trading.
The U.S. is not the only nation reporting on their domestic job situation this morning. Its strongest trading ally, Canada, is expecting a solid rebound from July's negative employment headline print (-39k). The market consensus expects a +20k rebound in jobs and an unemployment rate to remain unchanged at +7.2%. With the new Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Stephen Poloz delivering an extended neutral monetary policy stance this week during a BoC rate meeting, and when combined with the potential of Fed tapering, it does not support the CAD from an interest differential perspective. Currently, the market should be favoring selling the loonie on USD pullbacks. The CAD remains contained within its four-cent range of 1.03-1.07. It's a monotonous range trading with little vulnerability for now.

For a country that prides itself on a robust private sector, the U.S. lags behind many other nations in using the private sector to finance, build and operate infrastructure. From 1990 to 2006, for example, public-private partnerships financed five times as much transportation infrastructure in the U.K. as in the U.S. -- even though the U.S. economy is more than six times larger than that of the U.K.
Partnerships between the public and private sectors cannot solve the entire problem of decaying and neglected infrastructure in the U.S. They do not represent "free" money, and many have gone wrong. But done right, they can boost investment and help efficiently manage projects once they are in place.
What's getting in the way of infrastructure investments today? That's a question that 17 U.S. big-city mayors took up last week at the first meeting of a new task force formed by the Clinton Global Initiative and the United States Conference of Mayors. (I serve as a special adviser to this Infrastructure Financing for Cities Task Force.) Presumably, this should be an ideal time to work on roads, bridges and other public works because interest rates are low and the spending would help reduce high unemployment in the U.S.

7.45am Wednesday. Tide is starting to push in and it looks about 2ft at the moment. There's a small wave on the sandbars so it should pick up to maybe 2-3ft towards high tide later this morning. The wind is forecast to get stronger though so it might be hard work to catch a wave - well worth a look though. Pictures and video@ http://www.porthcawlsurf.co.uk/todays-surf.html

With the lack of Rolling Stones looking probable at the moment, Im throwing my support with what Monklish has listed as headliners, Phoenix/NIN or Bjork/Daft Punk. My 2 cents.

With the lack of Rolling Stones looking probable at the moment, Im throwing my support with what Monklish has listed as headliners, Phoenix/NIN or Bjork/Daft Punk. My 2 cents.
I saw Eminem do that same setlist at Osheaga that year. Not great. Lose Yourself was off the chain though.
The backing track is so noticeable for that guy. I know a lot of rappers do it, but it was so bad for him. Really distracting.
Daft Punk is not playing.. Sadly ;(
If the Chili Peppers were indeed approached a year ago, I actually don't think it is that lazy if the strategy was, "We're going to go after some really elusive and hard to get headliners this year, RHCP seem interested, let's get one solid headliner on the books so we can put the rest of our focus on getting two rarer ones." Especially since they were doing that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing during 2012, maybe they were approached for that year. Some combination of RHCP/Sabbath/Dre/Radiohead.
I am not a fan, but there is no denying that to a KROQ type of audience, they are a gigantic band and have been around forever.
This is all the most desperate of speculation, of course. I needz mah lineup.
Fuck KROQ. LA's #12 Radio Station.
While I see your point and do think it has some validity I also believe that if the other two big name festivals (Bonaroo & Lolla) book a band and you get them the year after that, it reads off as lazy booking. Especially since I'm sure RHCP are an expensive act to book. I always saw Coachella as being the best US festival and would be disappointed with an Eminen or RHCP
i.e. Mick Jagger himself just told you exactly what I said my Stones source was telling me. And the interview is from 12/17, which means that my lineup source may be correct that talks started in the following two weeks. Or maybe he doesn't know and is hedging his bets, but I don't think that's his style. Either way, lick my hairy balls.
Please Motor, as an homage to Camus, just skip the coffee today.
Of course, you all will acknowledge that I was correct and not hide in a corner somewhere. concertgoer in particular, given his great concern about the Stones' quick denial of such rumors, will acknowledge that they basically did so immediately.
Mick Jagger ate a Mars bar out of Moto Rave's wife.
a polo ball posted onthe coachella facebook page does not make the rolling stones
''less likely''.
Don't forget RHCP also headlined ACL, as well as played at every single city in the world in 2012.
RHCP played every city in the world and headlined Lollapalooza in 2006...

Balanced St. Margaret's too much for Aquinas
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - Timely offense and a stifling defensive effort were key in St. Margaret's 28-0 victory over Aquinas of San Bernardino in the first round of the CIF-SS East Valley Division playoffs Friday night.
St. Margaret's led at halftime, 14-0, and wide receiver Andrew Torok made the play of the game early in the third quarter when he took a short pass from quarterback Josh Davis, broke a tackle and proceeded to take it 62 yards to put the Tartans up, 21-0.
Torok finished with five receptions for 70 yards.

After a scoreless first quarter when both teams got the ball just once, St. Margarets got started when senior Chase McClure took a punt 55 yards for a TD for a 7-0 second-quarter lead.
Near the end of the quarter, Davis found Torok in the end zone for the 7-yard score.
Davis ended the night with 112 yards on 5-of-11 passing, with two touchdowns and an interception.
Aquinas (6-5), the No. 2 team out of the Ambassador League, was unable to get going offensively against a swarming Tartans defense, which forced four turnovers.
Running back Romero Flores, who totaled more than 2,000 yards on the season, finished the night with 96 yards on 21 carries.
St. Margarets (10-1), the division's No. 2 team, will travel to play Rim of the World of Lake Arrowhead in the second round next week.

Kudos on the Deluxe call there TommyBoy. I didn't see your post until yesterday, but they still had a ton of the Deluxe figures. There were about 15-20 Shmis and a bunch of OB1s as well as the duros wave.
The Luke set is OK, but it really is only a set. It doesn't look like you could do much with Luke if you take him out of the tank. The DM looks like garbage. I don't think he looks posable except for that singular position he's already in. Yeah, the tatoos are kind of gay. I think I'll have my wife make him a shirt.

Diomed and Biolitec have entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of specified assets for a purchase price of between $6 and $7 million. Biolitec reported revenues of €39 million and profits of €5.6 for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Its shares are listed on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Biolitec is headquarted in Jena, Germany, and employs approximately 60 personnel at its U.S. operations based in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts.
"The decision to pursue the sale of the company's assets and operations through the bankruptcy process was an extremely difficult but appropriate decision for our Board of Directors to make," commented James A. Wylie, Jr., Diomed's Chief Executive Officer. "In spite of our intensive efforts to seek a buyer for the Company outside of bankruptcy and to work with our secured lenders to avoid seeking bankruptcy protection, the impact of infringement of the Company's products in the marketplace and delays in the judicial process proved impossible to overcome," Wylie stated. "We believe that, given the ongoing financial and legal challenges facing Diomed, bankruptcy is the best means available to protect the company's assets and allow the company's operations to be sold through an orderly process."
With court approval, Diomed will continue operating in the ordinary course of business as a debtor-in-possession while it pursues the sale of specified assets to Biolitec and the sale of its other assets to third parties. Diomed expects to complete the asset sale to Biolitec within approximately 60 to 90 days and to sell its remaining assets in due course, under the court's direction. These other assets include judgments in Diomed's favor of approximately $14.7 million arising from Diomed's successful patent infringement litigation in 2007 against defendants AngioDynamics, Inc. and Vascular Solutions, Inc. This litigation is currently on appeal, under bond, with a hearing on the appeal scheduled for April 10, 2008 at the appellate court.
Diomed and Biolitec have entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of specified assets. The letter of intent contemplates that to fund its operations during bankruptcy, Diomed will use its cash and receipts and will obtain debtor-in-possession financing from its senior secured creditor, Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. If Hercules and Diomed are unable to reach agreement on the terms of such financing, Biolitec has agreed in principle under the letter of intent to provide necessary financing of up to $2 million during the transition period. Such debtor-in-possession financing will be subject to court approval.
The proceeds of the sale of Diomed's assets will be distributed to Diomed's creditors and equity holders as determined by the bankruptcy court. With court approval, Diomed expects to complete the asset sale to Biolitec within approximately 60 to 90 days and to sell its remaining assets in due course, under the court's direction.
In a related development, Diomed's wholly owned subsidiary, Diomed Limited, has determined to file for Administration locally under the laws of the United Kingdom, contemporaneously with Diomed's bankruptcy filing in the United States.
"We believe that Biolitec's acquisition of Diomed's operating assets and U.S. sales and marketing organization provides our loyal physician partners the best opportunity for an improved level of service, flow of new and innovative technologies, and continuity of supply of lasers and disposable products," concluded Wylie. "Finally, I would be remiss if I did not thank each and every employee of the Company for their loyalty, dedication and commitment during the last several months. They stood the course and performed above all expectations during this very difficult time."
