What I Meant To Say…
In normal face-to-face conversations, I've always been accused of being brutally frank and straight to the point – at least, that's what my ex-wife always said. Apparently, that trait of mine didn't transfer to my long-winded blathering on this site. I say that because based on some of the comments I saw from this past Monday's post, I don't think I made my point clear on engine failures.
Although I meant to address this sooner, decency dictated that I pay homage to Roy Hobbson's departure from The Silent Pagoda on Wednesday. Now that I've done the decent thing, it's time to get back to the issues of the day – new engines for 2012. Now that Lotus has announced their own intentions, the future looks even brighter than it already did just a couple of days ago. But before we look too far ahead at how Lotus will change the game – more on that next week – I feel the need to go back a few days.
I probably could have chosen my words more carefully on Monday when I said that I welcome engine failures when Chevrolet, and now Lotus, enter competition with Honda in 2012. It seems that some took that to mean I want to see engines blow up for no reason and rob deserving drivers of a win. Nothing could be further from the truth.
When the Oldsmobile and Infiniti engines first debuted in 1997, they were blowing up right and left. It was almost comical. I got no thrill out of that because I felt like we were just watching inferior equipment break down. These were not high-tech engines that were pushing the threshold in search of another tenth of a second. It was just cheap equipment that fell apart regularly. That made for bad racing.
I did point out that there have been virtually no engine failures since 2006, when Honda became the sole engine supplier to the IZOD IndyCar Series. The reason for that is not because Honda suddenly started building bulletproof engines. Instead, it's because Honda detuned the engine since there was no competition. Why would they run their engines on the ragged edge just to beat themselves? They shouldn't. It was smart business on Honda's part.
But the game has changed now that Honda has competition. All competitors will have to take chances, or else they will be playing catch-up. Don't assume that Honda will have the upper-hand, simply because they have been supplying engines since 2003. The current Honda engine is built by Ilmor Engineering, who will be building the Chevy engine in 2012. Honda will be building their new engine in-house at HPD (Honda Performance Development). Proven engine builder Cosworth will presumably furnish the Lotus engine, although that wasn't confirmed in Thursday's announcent. I think it is debatable whether any company will have an advantage out of the gate in 2012.
The point I was trying to make was that the competition would force each manufacturer to take chances. The risk-reward will be how far to go. One reader correctly pointed out on Monday that watching Honda engines race without the possibility of any mechanical problems has removed any on-track drama. The reader went on to point out that the result was a collection of races that had become difficult for even the most die-hard fans to get excited about.
An engine that can run for 1,500 miles is not being pushed very hard. There is nothing sexy about reliability. One of the famous quotes from Indianapolis in the 1950's came from legendary car builder, AJ Watson (who's still building cars, by the way). When his winning driver, Pat Flaherty, crossed the line in the John Zink Special in 1956; his throttle linkage broke – preventing him from taking a victory lap. Watson said, "Hey, we only build 'em to run 200 laps". The thrill of racing is having the car, the driver and the engine pushed to the very limit. Sometimes, they go just beyond the limit. It's the good drivers that can recognize that fine line.
Beginning in 2012, there will also be some accountability for the drivers. No longer will they be able to just hold their right foot down and rely on a de-tuned engine and a rev-limiter to get them through a race. Drivers will be forced to be disciplined and take care of their equipment. Can you imagine how many Indy 500's Mario Andretti could have won had he had the luxury of a rev-limiter? Tom Carnegie never would have developed his now famous line; "Mario is slowing on the backstretch".
There once was a time when taking care of your equipment – your car, engines, gearbox and tires – were all part of being a successful driver. Those that could hold back and save their equipment until the end were usually rewarded. Rick Mears is famous for his line. "To finish first, you must first finish." He didn't mean don't let your car get into the marbles and wash up into the wall. He said this at a time when there was competition on the track between manufacturers and risks were being taken. That's simply a part of racing.
The notion was put forth on Monday that engine failures shouldn't take away wins from deserving drivers. Excuse me? Some of the greatest champions at the Indianapolis 500 were beneficiaries of their rivals running their equipment too hard. Had Bobby Marshman not been obsessed with lapping the field in 1964, he could have won instead of AJ Foyt. Although Jack Beckley, his chief mechanic, kept signaling for Marshman to slow down – he kept charging. Marshman fell out on lap 39. Foyt also benefited in 1967, when Parnelli Jones dropped out when a $6.00 bearing failed in his STP turbine on lap 197, handing the lead and the victory to Foyt. In 1977, Foyt was there again to take his fourth Indy victory when Gordon Johncock's engine failed on lap 184. Was Foyt not a deserving driver?
Bobby Unser benefited in 1968, by having Joe Leonard's turbine flame out with nine laps to go. Does the first of his three victories have an asterisk by it because he was an undeserving driver? No. I also resent the implication that those that accept engine failures as a part of racing are nothing more than American rednecks that like to watch explosions.
So please understand that I'm not a fan of watching engines blow up. What I am a fan of is competition; and engine failures are a by-product of competition and innovation. It's all about trying new things and sacrificing some reliability in search of speed. If this offends anyone, I think they might be better served to follow a sport like Tee-Ball – so that everyone can get a trophy and feel good about themselves.
We all became fans of this sport at some point in time. Some were bitten in the eighties, while others discovered it in the mid-nineties. I became addicted to Indy car racing in the sixties. It doesn't really matter, because the one constant throughout every era was the search for speed. That was always the number one goal until the league became a heavily regulated one-chassis/one-engine series. At that point things just sort of stagnated. Now that we'll have some sense of variety in the chassis and competing engine manufacturers, count on engine failures occurring while the manufacturers continue searching for speed. After all, isn't that the core principle in racing?

Great article George…. The other caveat to performance and going ever faster has been the concern for safety. So, while aerodynamics continued to improve and the weight of materials used to manufacture cars continued to decrease, engine power has also actually decreased from the CART and Champ car days.
In some cases aero packages, primarily front and rear wings were made larger or to create more downforce and drag, which has prevented the speeds from climbing to 250mph and beyond.
The new chassis and engine combinations look to be lighter and more slippery yet, but it appears that the engines while V-6's now turbo charged will be boost adjustable based on the type of racing that is to be done. Should make things a great deal more interesting especially when we begin to find out where the various torque and HP bands fall in the RPM range with the three engines at the variety of tracks the IRL races at. These variables combined with the new aero packages should theoretically make for some competitive racing.
Its not that I want to see engine failure, its that I want to see drivers and teams taking it as close to the edge as they can without having engine failure.
I thought you were clear yesterday, George. Competition will push the edge. I do have a question though. If Indycar is going to ensure that all three engines are "equally" competitive out of the factory–do the owners and engineers have any leeway to modify the engines in the shop? Or do they just stick 'em in the car as is and that's what they have?
And also–A.J. Watson is still making cars?
I agree that engine failures are a part of racing and it is a display that manufacturers are pushing the limits to find extra performance (and therefore, I've never totally minded them…unless they meant that Paul Tracy was going to win instead of whoever else was leading), but 2012 still may not be a return to the old days of regular engine failures (that phrase reminds me of the CART finale at Fontana in 2000, when every Mercedes engine managed to find its way to the front of the field, only to detonate within two laps, as if somebody were sitting up in the stands and blowing them up James Bond-style). We're likely, in the interests of holding down engine costs, to see fairly severe mileage requirements for engines, something north of 1,000 or maybe even 1,500 miles per engine. Mind you, this doesn't mean that there'll no longer be huge, mosquito-killing grenades, as F1's similar requirements haven't completely eliminated engine-related retirements (look no further than the pieces of pistons and con rods bouncing down the back straight after coming out of Sebastian Vettel's car at Korea last month), but the number of failures has gone down precipitously in the past 3-4 years. We'll likely see the same in 2012 and 2013. Whatever. I'm just glad to have a variety of engines being reintroduced to IndyCar.
That 2000 Fontana race was insane, it really came down to surviving those 500 miles.
Not only did all 4 Mercedes starters lose power right after charging to the lead, Max Papis and Juan Montoya also blew engines while challenging at the front, Kenny Brack destroyed a turbocharger while leading the most laps, and Alex Barron charged into the lead in a Dale Coyne car with a few laps to go only to have his Ford-Cosworth explode.
Of the 25 starters, 19 DNFed. 9 of those blew engines and another 5 had other mechanical gremlins.
Drivers were really pushing those cars hard, especially the guys who weren't among the 5 championship contenders. They all wanted the winner's $1,000,000 share of the purse, I presumed.
Even with all the DNFs, the high speed 500 mile survival races were thrilling
How high did engines rev in 2002-2004 and in the 1990s?
Seems to me that in the CART era, mid-to-late 90s, they were twisting 'em at about 14000 at their peak. Don't know about The League. I could barely stand to follow anything other than Indy of the IRL when the split occured.
Nicely said, George. I can't add anything, other than to say I'm looking forward to seeing some limits pushed again soon!
I don't understand why the leading racer, perhaps a driver who's been fastest all day, perhaps fastest all weekend, doesn't deserve to win. I don't know why $6 parts ought to fail to hand first place to a following racer. I would rather see the second-place racer pass with skill or more horsepower or less drag or better grip. I disbelieve the notion that "watching Honda engines race without the possibility of any mechanical problems has removed any on-track drama" since 2005.
High Drama at the Barzilian GP as Vettels engine blew late in the race. You could see molten parts spitting out the bottom. Red Bull had by far the fastest car on the grid all year long, but it wasn't reliable enough to take full advantage (Vettel 10 poles and just 5 wins). It was, however, just reliable enough to win both points titles. There is much more to racing than pure speed. A good driver takes care of his equipment.
A blown engine or other mechanical failure just means heartbreak or disappointment for the driver, his crew and sponsor, and his or her fans. I don't see any upside to that. I would rather see the drivers create the drama using their skill and all the racing tools at their disposal.
Amen to that
Anyone who doesn't think that saving one's equipment is a part of racing would have been disappointed for a vast part of its history. For the first couple decades of the Indy 500, it was THE most important skill for the best drivers…

Mom was a force to be reckoned with! I was a menopausal baby, being born when my three older sisters were ages 16, 19 and 21. People just couldn't believe my mother was expecting a baby at her age, and some drove from Kentucky to Ohio to make sure she wasn't "funnin' with them".
Mom didn't know she was pregnant until she was nearly six months along, when the doctor told her she had "Cupid's tumor", and that she would be having a baby in the next three months. She was mortified with having to tell my dad, for people at that age just didn't do that!!
This is my mom just four days before I was born. It was July 4, 1955, and after enjoying themselves at a church picnic, they were going to transcribe some tombstones in a local cemetery.
For the rest of this post, I'm going to relate a story from my journal...
Mothers Protect Their Young
My mother was a force to be reckoned with! You just didn't mess with mom - or one of her babies.
One night, she and I were on our way home from church, where I had attended my weekly youth meeting. I needed some notebook paper, and we didn't have Walmarts or anything like that in those days. We did have a little corner grocery store, where one could buy penny candy, shoelaces, etc.
She happened to miss the driveway, but it didn't matter, for the next drive also connected to the little store. There was a bit of a grassy field between the parking lot and the store. I walked through the little field and headed for the front door.
Before reaching the door, there was a wall of decorative concrete block. As I rounded that wall, I happened upon 3-4 teenage boys who were circling around on their bikes. I squared up, went through them, went into the store and bought my paper.
When I came back out, those boys were still there. They were off their bikes, and now they circled around me, calling me names and poking me in the chest. I was mortified, for I was sure they were going to do terrible things to me. I was also sure mom couldn't see me because of the decorative wall.
In the blink of an eye, I heard something akin to a bull crashing through the field and headed toward me. It was my mom! Smoke was coming from her nostrils and her ears, and her boobs were swinging back and forth something fierce with her arms pumping away. (You get the picture!) When those boys turned around to see what it was, they saw the look on her face and knew they were dead meat if they didn't get out of there quick. Mom grew up being the oldest of a family that had SIX BOYS, plus a little sister that died at 3 years old. To mom, taking on these boys were nothing compared to what she had grown up with.
I was never so relieved to see my mom in my whole life. I don't know what those boys would have done. But, as long as my mom was nearby, those boys were close to being ground down into a greasy spot!

This image magnifies the beauty of our luxury goods creating a color and light show ( Derksen Lichttechnik GmbH). Klick on the picture to enlarge it and to see the details of these stylish watches more clearly. The picture on the right shows how the watches of the CLASSIC LINE are sent (a very large box with piano coating).

We will give the full support and service to you.
Piracy and counterfeiting, especially of luxury goods as cufflinks, watches, rings is a growing problem. We as a designer and manufacturer of luxury goods has been very concerned regarding this development and has protected its luxury goods especially the watches by patenting our designs, marking all the goods with a serial number.
|Obviously this statement is also valid for the watches. So, we do not incorporate the usual complications in the different watches, instead the complication is the product itself. Under these circunstances these watches which seem not to be approved for many people. However, the special customer who wants to enjoy a modern design, a slender material and a great technical refinement, will soon discover that these watches are the ones he is looking for.
Nowerdays, the watches are essential accesorries. They come from the antique pocket - watches. At the end of the XIX century the first wrist watches were developed so people started to show them in their wrist. It is very difficult to choose between the wide range of design watches which are offered in the market. The varied offer goes from the simplest watches up to the most extraordinary watches. These watches delight to demanding customers who want to adquire a gold or a luxury goods that despite of its high price has an special "plus". Every model of the watches is different for this technical care in the details. Some luxruy watches can become mini-computers with multiple added functions.
The Watches[nbsp are always distinguished for being extra special. These watches incorporate the manufacturers extraaordinary design with high precision and philosopy:
"Every product must have its own technical marks and it has to be easily recognised".
We as a manufacturer of watches must meet specific measurements to within a thousandth of a millimeter. It is inevitable that such a mechanism is subject to a certain amount of deterioration over time. All the watches, as much mechanical models as automatic ones, will therefore require inspection every four to five years, to verify the accuracy of the internal components, to clean the watches inside and possibly to adjust the mechanism. Depending on the retailer, this overhaul could be done by their watchmaker.
The watchmaker can request sketches of the watches to assist with the overhaul, allowing them to manipulate the watches accurately. If they require a spare part, they can request them directly from us. Doing an overhaul regularly ensures the watch retains its value and that it will continue to be enjoyed by future generations.
In each of the watches, we can always find, aside from its functionality, an original design or a special technical extra. These properties are protected by a patent once a new design has been created. This right of protection is granted by a Swiss institution and it's governed according to a European or a world-wide model. This reiterates the uniqueness and particularity of the watches and certifies its title as being an exclusive pieces.

Data on the water resistance of watches often lead to misunderstandings, because the values of meters usually represent only an informative value. The following table shows standards to facilitate the proper use of his watch and water:
Instruction manual
without indication
water resistant to 30 m
water resistant to 50 m
water resistant to 100 m
water resistant to 200 m
It can also happen that indicates the resistance to water bar instead of meters. This translates as follows:
3 bar = 30 m / 5 bar = 50 m / 10 bar = 100 m / 20 bar = 200 m.

Hot Salsa With Willie Rosario
He opened the Tropicana Club in New York with fellow Puerto Rican Bobby Valentin. In 1987, Rosario received a Grammy nomination for his song "Nueva Cosecha� (New Harvest).
[Entertainment: Music]
[Entertainment: Music]
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, in association with Mario A. Torres Productions, presents a night of "old school Salsa that's hip and fresh" with legendary timbalero Willie Rosario Y Su Orquesta on Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 8pm.
Willie Rosario has made his mark on both Salsa and Tropical music, from swinging mambo, to guaganco and boogaloo, composing such hits as "De Barrio Obrero a la Quince," "El Timbal de Carlitos," and the Grammy Award-nominated "Nueva Cosecha."
This spicy hot evening will also feature conguero Eddie Montalvo And Friends, with master percussionist and timbalero Don Perignon, and vocalist Rico Walker, who was part of Willie Rosario's band for many years. This event receives support from JP Morgan Chase.
Willie Rosario—aka "Mr. Afinque"—was born Fernando Luis Rosario Marin in Coamo,
He later studied saxophone, but what really attracted him was the conga. In 1946, at age 16, he formed a band called Coamex. A year later, his family moved to

If you look to the top fifty you will see that the first two top looked at lessons are on anime body figures for both genders. I will be submitting another lesson that is similar to the ones you see to the right hand side of your screen. I think that the poses I drew a while ago are great, but in all honesty I can draw better than before since I practice everyday. I want to give you a tutorial lesson on "how to draw manga bodies step by step". Whenever you learn "how to draw manga art", you can use all different types of body poses that can actually show what your character is thinking. You can combine this lesson with the anime male body figures that I already have submitted, and draw a manga couple if you want to as well. No matter how you look at it, drawing anime and manga is so much fun and it can also become pretty addicting. The figures that you will learn how to draw are more on the slender side which is exactly how manga should be drawn. Unless of course you are going for a more thicker character or something like that. I will also be submitting two more lessons on body figures and I think that those tutorials will come in extremely helpful for a lot of you artists out there that are trying to master the art of drawing bodies. I will leave you now so you can tackle this tutorial that will teach you "how to draw manga bodies step by step". As always I will be back later with more drawing fun. Adios amigos and happy drawing!

Thank you very much to all entries! We will give as much feedback as we can!
Dear entrants,
After seeing the initial entries, we realize that we may have put to much control over you creativity. So, I took down the reference URL with the images. We do like what we have seen thus far, and we still would like to see any ideas you have with the silhouette and cityscape concept. If there is going to be a dog in your design, we want it to be a greyhound.
I am going to take this time to open the contest up to different ideas also. We are not locked into the cityscape, so I think we should have given you (the artists) more control. If anyone has any ideas that come to mind for "Independent Dog" (other than the cityscape) please submit them.

We recently heard from our Hyderabad project in India about several mothers of sponsored children who are exemplifying the potential of families living in poverty. Here's the story of Sathya – enjoy!
My family and I live in a remote village in India.
My husband used to be a contract worker; the income he earned was not enough to support our family.
I had an opportunity to take out a loan through my mothers group.
I talked with my husband, and we both shared the idea of opening a store in our village.
He supported my idea and agreed to purchase the required materials for the store.
First, I opened the store in our home.
I soon repaid the first loan, and I took out another loan to purchase a kiosk made with wood.
After that was repaid, I asked for a third loan to buy a refrigerator to keep a few cool drinks in the store.
After a few years, my husband left his job and is helping me run the business.
My family's store is the only one available in our village.
Except rice, I keep every required food item for the villagers.
The money we receive from our store is the only source of income for my family. I am very happy with our business.
In the future I am planning to increase the supplies I keep on hand, including feed for the cattle in our village.The cattle owners in our village must travel to the nearest town to purchase their animal feed. It is not convenient for them to travel on a daily basis.
By selling cattle feed in our store, we can save the cattle owners time and energy so they will no longer have to travel to town.
I shared my plan in the recent group meeting and requested another loan.
Most of the other mothers group members have cattle that they purchased with loans made from the group's savings account.
They appreciated my idea and offered me the opportunity to take out another loan.
I felt very happy!
The CFCA Hope for a Family program is based on the basic belief that sponsored friends and their families hold the potential, creativity and resourcefulness needed to create their own pathway out of poverty.
Congratulations, Sathya!

In Bonn, Germany, where prostitution is legal, hookers pay a "prostitution tax" to a ticket machine in order to have sex for monies. The fee is 6 euros (or $8.65) and shoots out a receipt to make the occupation official.
The machines were just installed and is very similar to the ones you see these days that take parking money. Over the first weekend, the machines collected $382 worth of taxes. That's, um, a lot of work right there. According to the new law, street prostitutes must pay the tax when they work between 8:15 PM and 6:00 AM. After one warning, a hooker working without a ticket will be fined $145. 'Spensive!!
I guess from the government's perspective, if you're gonna allow it, you might as well tax the shit out of it. Each Siemens-built ticket machine costs $11,575 to install. I'm thinking they'll make their money back in no time. [NY Times]

Main issue with sticks / clubs / etc. is that they wouldn't be my first choice (my first choice being pepper spray followed by a .45 if necessary) and in most states that aren't either shall issue or effectively shall issue, sticks and clubs are not only illegal, but it is a more serious crime than carrying a gun w/o a permit (the reason why is a bit OT, but think Jim Crow). Hate to have the legislature rain on liberty's parade, but staying out of jail is a liberty worth balancing.
When I recommended this, it was intended for an incident where a decent-sized dog has already clamped down on your arm or leg. By no means do I recommend actively pursuing an animal to shove a body part down its throat. And, of course, its not intended for dachshunds and chihuahuas. As far as its applicability, the concept is all too appealing when a pitbull has a deathgrip on the arm with which you would normally draw your weapon.Finally, it isn't intended as a method of dispatching the animal. It is a method of freeing your body part.
I have already ordered a stun gun that will fit into my tool pouch and be close by should I ever need it...for man or beast.
I know SOMEONE wants to know about the end of the story, soooo... Cedar
3) Should a dog come charging you, the use of an air horn might be an option to both scare the dog and alert owners and nieghbors of the situation.4) Arm yourself with a non-leathal weapon. Face it, no matter how much your life is in potential jeapordy, you do not want to shoot or stab someone's dog. And I am sure your employer will not allow you to go in armed. So I recommend a stun gun, the small contact kind, not the ones that shoot darts on wires the police use. Pepper spray would be an option but i dont like it as it can blow back in your face on a windy day. A deterant (air horn) in one hand and a non leathal weapon (stun gun in the other) would be my prefered way of facing a dog threat.
I hope no one takes this advice seriously.
Easy there. Depending on the circumstances that might be the best advice to follow. Response is always conditioned on circumstances. Frankly I'd love nothing more than to see every vicious dog (and the vast majority of the owners) get the business end of a 12 ga, but that isn't how this society works. If you can carry a gun, I can't think of a more strait forward tool for dealing with vicious dogs. But if your circumstances preclude that option, you have to consider other options... such as the advice that was offered.

Poker vs. Golf: which takes more skill?
A fun comparison between golf and poker is tucked in a 20-page brief filed in a Colorado case that may help the state decide whether poker is a game of skill or chance.
The filing this week by the Poker Players Alliance, an advocacy group, argues that the numbers below show "poker requires as much skill as golf to win consistently."
|Results '76-'00
|WSOP main event
|PGA Championship
|Back-to-back winners
|Number of different winners
|Winners of more than 1 title
|Winners with other top 10 finishes
|14 of 21
|15 of 22
|Top 10 finishes per winner
|Average number of entrants
The filing states that from 1976 to 2000, 21 different players won the World Series of Poker. One person won three times in that span (Stu Ungar), and three others won twice (Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan).
Three of the repeat winners won back-to-back titles (Brunson, Ungar and Chan). Fourteen of the 21 players were "repeat finalists" who finished among the top 10 in one or more of the other tournaments.
In the same period, there were 22 different winners of the PGA Championship, three multiple winners and only Tiger Woods won back-to-back titles. Fifteen of the 22 champions made it into the top 10 in another year.
As much as I like poker, I must say golf takes way more skill. Both put major dents in my wallet whenever I play them, but it takes a lot more skill to make that little white ball go where you want it to go than it does to take down a pot.
The amicus brief was filed in a case brought against Kevin Raley, one of five people arrested in a low-stakes poker bust in Greeley. Raley was acquitted on illegal gambling charges, but Colorado has appealed his ability to argue that poker is a game of skill.
Raley also argued that he wasn't guilty of illegal gambling because everyone at the tournament had a "bona fide" social relationship. The jury didn't state the reason for its not-guilty verdict, so it's unclear whether they bought the argument that poker is a game of skill.
Nonetheless, the state's decision to challenge that aspect could eventually lead to a rewrite of Colorado's poker laws. But that may only happen if the case somehow makes its way up to the state Supreme Court.
The PPA filing makes several arguments, hammering away at the state's contention that the state Supreme Court ruled 20 years ago that poker is a game of chance. In that case, which is detailed in this story, the court ruled that a casino night held by the Central City Opera House was illegal because it involved games of chance. But the games of chance involved in the casino also included roulette, craps and blackjack. The PPA argues that the court never made a specific ruling that poker was not a contest of skill because it was lumped in with the others.

Hi Fraser,
Contributing back about anything that was done for the eZ Community Portal is in the share.ez.no team's mind. We first need to nail the extremely urgent tasks (cf meeting minutes) though.
Are you in the process of building a community website?
Sunday 26 September 2010 5:05:22 pm
Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for your quick response. Yes, I'm building a community website for a non profit working in international development. I really like many of the features of Share.ez.no so compliments to the designers and developers! Great work! I look forward to seeing the code when it is available.
Monday 27 September 2010 6:50:19 pm
Hi and thanks for the kind words.
Stay tuned on http://share.ez.no/projects then !
Friday 14 October 2011 3:12:58 pm
Just checking in to see if there was any progress in sharing the code for this site.
At the moment I'm particularly interested in the code behind the "add reply" feature of the forum. I can see that onclick = "return community.newContent(this.form,'new-content')" fires off some custom javascript to load a new content object form into an empty div. It would be great if that were an extension so that it would be easy to use this approach to add new content objects inline - a super useful feature!
To take it one step further it could be integrated with a popup box script so that you could add new content in a popup box like fancybox or colorbox. I've managed to get fancybox working for editing content objects but haven't figured out how to do something similar for creating new content objects because fancybox (and all the others I looked at) require an anchor as the trigger (i.e.  ).
I'm happy to help pull this together if someone would be willing to help get it started.
Sunday 16 October 2011 10:06:57 pm
I think you can quite easily implement such functionality using jquery and ezjscore. Maybe you also need the powercontent extension to bypass content/action and create the forum reply object on the fly.
I too am very interested in the source code of this site though

Hi guys,
We (the share.ez.no team) are really behind on packaging this all up and sharing it open
The features addition / evolution treadmill is time-consuming (event planner, job board, merger with projects.ez.no)
@Fraser : the in-place editing idea is excellent. It is becoming a common feature, we need to have this in eZ Publish.
@Sander, Fraser : no powercontent required here, the trick, in short, is as follows. Let us take the example of the soon-to-come event planner system. The template code below is from the landing page (a folder storing all event objects) :
{* New content creation : START *} {if $is_logged_in}

 <form id="form-actions" action={"/content/action"|ezurl} method="post"> <input style="display:none;" class="button" type="submit" id="NewButton" name="NewButton" value="{"Propose an event"|i18n( 'extension/community_design' )}" onclick="return community.newContent(this.form,'new-content')" /> {* <input style="display:none;" class="button" type="submit" id="ActionAddToNotification" name="ActionAddToNotification" value="Track changes" /> *} <input type="hidden" name="ContentNodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectID" value="{$node.contentobject_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="NodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ClassIdentifier" value="community_event" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentLanguageCode" value="{$object.current_language}" /> <input type="hidden" name="RedirectURIAfterPublish" value="{$node.url}{if $view_parameters.offset}/(offset)/{$view_parameters.offset|wash}{/if}" /> </form> {/if} {* New content creation : END *}
The JS part goes like this :
newContent: function( formElement, newContentElementID ) { var url = formElement.action; url = url.replace( '/content/action', '/layout/set/ajax/content/action' ); var data = $(formElement).serializeArray(); data.push( { name: 'NewButton', value: 1 } ); $(formElement).hide(); var newContentElement = $( '#' + newContentElementID ); newContentElement.html( "Please wait..." ); newContentElement.load( url, data, function() { tags.init(); } ); return false; }
powered by JQuery, you need to load it with ezjscore.
The pagelayout_ajax.tpl file is an empty one :
{$module_result.content}  -->
That's a quick shot, but i thought i'd give you guys the essential bits of the very point discussed, before we strive to make the rest available !
Hope it helps,
Modified on Tuesday 18 October 2011 11:58:44 am by Nicolas Pastorino
Tuesday 18 October 2011 1:02:36 pm
Thanks for sharing. That's an old trick and very inefficient method! I was hoping for something more lightweight using some neat ezjscore class
Yet performing well and being pragmatic in the sense that it relies on very standard parts of the system. The next step imho is to plug front-ends on the REST api directly, removing the need for intermediate parts
Cheers Sander,
Tuesday 18 October 2011 3:28:50 pm
Thanks Nicolas! You guys have done a great job with the design and functionality of the site and I appreciate being able to learn from it. ezPublish has a bit of a clunky UI right out of the box and this site shows how it's possible to work around that and add some nice interactivity and responsiveness. It would be good to have a collection of UI design patterns that are not too difficult for an average ezPublish developer to implement. Then alternative approaches to achieving a certain functionality could be shared.
I had a somewhat radical thought last night about attributes and edit views. I've been working a lot with XForms and I really like the separation of the data model, the controls and the appearance of controls. Define the data model and data type with a schema (eg. xsd:dateTime), decide what kind of control you want (e.g. input, secret, textarea, select, select1, range, upload), and then decide what the rendering appearance of the control should be, possibly based upon the device or interface being used (e.g. full, minimal). So in ezPublish terms, instead of picking attributes that mix data type and presentation, and are therefore inherently limiting, a user would first define the data type (xs:string), then the control (select1) and then the appearance (minimal = combobox). If a select1 was chosen, then the user would be presented with a form to define the source, either entering items, referring to a parent node or referring to a built-in list. An example of a built in list would be countries, languages, etc. This way we wouldn't need so many separate and specific ez data types and would give user much more control over the rendering of the user interface. With consistent markup for the control presentation, it would be easy to skin the controls. Also, a form or attribute could have three different edit modes: new page, in-line (on its own, above or below read only version, or replace read only version), or popup.
Apologies for the tangent, but back on topic, I'm also very eagerly awaiting development of the REST API! This is will open up lots of possibilities to improve the way we can create and edit content on an ez site. Is there a timeline on when it will be possible to create and edit via REST?
Tuesday 18 October 2011 6:01:36 pm
@nico: your ajax pagelayout comment should maybe be wrapped in js quotes, not html quotes...
@fraser: using different rendering modes for nodes is a central feature of eZ. Applying it to datatypes makes a lot of sense imho, and goes a long shot in the direction you are indicating. But different datatypes are also used to do backend-validation, and not to rely on js / browsers to do it for you
Wednesday 26 October 2011 12:47:31 pm
I've had some success with the technique shared above so I thought I would share my results for anyone interested. I also have a couple of questions.
I modified the js code a bit so that I could use the same code for both editing and creating content. To do this I changed the first parameter from formElement to buttonElement. Then in the onclick, I use "this" instead of "this.form". In the js code I use buttonElement.form to get the formElement and buttonElement.name to get the button name for the data.push statement. I also added a hideElementID parameter so I could have control over which part of the interface is hidden.
Two problems remain:
One workaround is to load the content into an iframe instead of inline in a div and include page_head_style.tpl and page_head_script.tpl in the ajax_pagelayout.tpl.
Another is to use the powercontent extension and load the create or edit forms with the rest of the page so the correct css and javascript files will be included automatically.
Which approach is more recommended? Is there another solution?

Two problems remain:
- After publish, the redirect uses the ajax layout instead of the normal layout. How can I correct this?
Hi Fraser,
The secret is setting the redirection URL in the initially submitted form (input named "RedirectURIAfterPublish" ) :
{if $is_logged_in}

 <form id="form-actions" action={"/content/action"|ezurl} method="post"> <input style="display:none;" class="button" type="submit" id="NewButton" name="NewButton" value="Add reply" onclick="return community.newContent(this.form,'new-content')" /> <input style="display:none;" class="button" type="submit" id="ActionAddToNotification" name="ActionAddToNotification" value="Track changes" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentNodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectID" value="{$node.contentobject_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="NodeID" value="{$node.node_id}" /> <input type="hidden" name="ClassIdentifier" value="forum_reply" /> <input type="hidden" name="ContentLanguageCode" value="{$object.current_language}" /> <input type="hidden" name="RedirectURIAfterPublish" value="{$node.url}{if $view_parameters.offset}/(offset)/{$view_parameters.offset|wash}{/if}" /> </form>
Let me take the example of ezoe (aka ezxmltext or online editor), on share.ez.no. On the full view template for a forum topic like this one, when the user is logged-in, he might be willing to reply, in other words create a forum reply object under the current node. A forum reply contains an ezxmltext field, online editor is required.
This information is passed from the full view template to the pagelayout using the persistent variable, in which the following hash is added :
hash( 'load_tiny_mce', $is_logged_in )
In the pagelayout we get :
{if and( is_set( $persistent.load_tiny_mce ), $persistent.load_tiny_mce )}  {ezscript( array( 'ezoe/ez_core.js' ) )} {/if}
I hope this helps !
PS : not sure you read French (Google translate can help you with this), but Gilles published a three-part tutorial on how to implement front-end edition (including in-place edition) in eZ Publish. Mootools is used, and the content dates a bit, but i believe this can be a good compliment to the share.ez.no example :

Thursday 27 October 2011 2:25:55 pm
Thanks Nicolas!
The secret is setting the redirection URL in the initially submitted form (input named "RedirectURIAfterPublish" )
I found that the only way I could prevent the 'layout/set/ajax' from being added to the url was to use a full url like this:
<input type="hidden" name="RedirectURIAfterPublish" value="{$node.url|ezurl('no', 'full')}" />
I'm still not able to get the tiny_mce editor to load. I put the script in the head of the pagelayout as follows:

{ezscript( array( 'ezoe/ez_core.js' ) )}
Both scripts are loading correctly.
I also tried adding the other scripts that are in ezxmltext_oe.tpl to my full override into which I'm loading the edit form and this didn't help. For example there is a function tiny_mce.init.
Have you initialized the editor in some other way? I hunted through all your code on this site but couldn't find anything. It's still a mystery to me how you've got it working!
Finally, regarding the idea of loading into an iframe, I spent a lot of time trying this and it doesn't work because the ajax response, at least using jquery, doesn't include any of the script tags. It runs the scripts before returning the html as a string. I could use the response to populate the inner html of the iframe documentContent but without the scripts the editor wouldn't work.
I've burned a lot of hours on this and I'm ready to try another approach. Are there any major issues with using the powercontent module?
Friday 28 October 2011 12:51:58 pm
After much trial and error, the only way I could get the editor to work in the loaded content was to put this init script in both the main page template and the loaded html (ajax_pagelayout.tpl) AND put a text area in the main page template. So, on initial load of the main page template, the unnecessary textarea renders with tinymce, then when the new content is loaded, it also renders with tinymce. But if the script is not in both places, if it does not contain exactly the same options and if there is no textarea in the main template, then tinymce won't render in the loaded html. Very strange. I thought the following would work, but it doesn't:
newContentElement.load( url, data, function(){ tinyMCE.init({ mode : 'textareas', theme : 'simple' }); });
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Wednesday 07 December 2011 11:54:51 pm
After a lot of trial and error, I finally got the editor to work. It turns out that the following script in ezxmltext_ezoe.tpl was causing the problem:

Actually, because this script is loading tiny_mce.js and I have to load it again in the full template, the two instances were conflicting. When I added this script to the ezjscore require statement along with jquery in both the full template and ezxmltext_ezoe.tpl, the editor worked. Note that it also worked substituting tiny_mce_jquery.js for tiny_mce.js which is more direct and might be preferable, I'm not sure. Both work.
I created an override for ezxmltext_ezoe.tpl, deleted the above script and added it to the require statement:
I set up my script so it can be used for both in-place editing of the child nodes as well as adding a new child node. The following goes in the line view of the class (e.g. a comment class):

It's also quite nice to have the remove dialogue in place rather than loading a new page and you can use the same code as above, just add the onclick attribute to the remove button. Also add these redirects:
<input type="hidden" name="RedirectURIAfterRemove" value="{$node.parent.url_alias|ezurl('no', 'full')}" /> <input type="hidden" name="RedirectIfCancel" value="{$node.parent.url_alias|ezurl('no', 'full')}" />

It turns out that the editor will only load when the site access is set to DevelopmentMode=enabled. I've tried adding {set-block scope=global variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block} to all the templates involved and that had no effect. In the debug console I get two failed get requests tinyMCE js files, one for the langs and one for the theme. The script is using a base URI that is relative to the page URL rather than the actual location of the files.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd rather not leave my site in DevelopMode!

Jakob Steiner's parents were Anna Barbara Weber (1757-1832) and Niklaus Steiner (1752-1826). Anna and Niklaus were married on 28 January 1780 and they had eight children. Jakob was the youngest of the children and spent his early years helping his parents with the small farm and business that they ran near the village of Utzenstorf, about 24 km north of Bern. He did not learn to read and write until he was 14 but he then proved invaluable [1]:-
As a child he had to help his parents on the farm and in their business: his skill in calculation was of great assistance.Jakob, however, wanted something better for himself but his parents were delighted to have his help with their business. At the age of 18, against the wishes of his parents, he left home to attend Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's school at Yverdom at the south-east end of the Lake of Neuchâtel. Pestalozzi ran his innovative school in the town from 1805 to 1825 and Steiner entered in the spring of 1814. The fact that Steiner was unable to pay anything towards his education at the school was not a problem, for Pestalozzi wanted to try out his educational methods on the poor. Pestalozzi's school had a very significant effect on Steiner's attitude both to the teaching of mathematics and also to his philosophy when undertaking research in mathematics. He wrote in 1826 (see for example [1]):-
The method used in Pestalozzi's school, treating the truths of mathematics as objects of independent reflection, led me, as a student there, to seek other grounds for the theorems presented in the courses than those provided by my teachers. Where possible I looked for deeper bases, and I succeeded so often that my teachers preferred my proofs to their own. As a result, after I had been there for a year and a half, it was thought that I could give instruction in mathematics. ... Without my knowledge or wishing it, continuous concern with teaching has intensified by striving after scientific unity and coherence. Just as related theorems in a single branch of mathematics grow out of one another in distinct classes, so, I believed, do the branches of mathematics itself. I glimpsed the idea of the organic unity of all the objects of mathematics; and I believed at that time that I could find this unity in some university; if not as an independent subject, at least in the form of specific suggestions.In the autumn of 1818, Steiner left Yverdom and travelled to Heidelberg where he earned his living giving private mathematics lessons. He attended lectures at the Universities of Heidelberg on combinatorial analysis, differential and integral calculus and algebra. Also at this time he became interested in mechanics and he wrote three unpublished manuscripts on the topic in 1821, 1824 and 1825. At Easter 1821 he left Heidelberg and travelled to Berlin, where again he supported himself with a very modest income from tutoring. He had no formal teaching qualifications so he decided that he needed to sit the necessary examinations to allow him to become a mathematics master in a gymnasium. He was not completely successful for after taking the necessary examinations in Berlin he was only awarded a restricted license to teach. His problem was not in mathematics but in the other subjects which were examined such as history and literature. This restricted license was, however, sufficient to allow him to be appointed to the Werder Gymnasium in Berlin.
Steiner's time as a mathematics teacher at the Werder Gymnasium proved a difficult one. At first he received good reports on his teaching but he fell out with the director of the school, Dr Zimmermann. Perhaps, understandably, Zimmermann wanted Steiner to teach his courses using a textbook written by Zimmermann himself. Steiner, who was a firm believer in Pestalozzi's methods of teaching, used those methods in the classroom. Zimmermann claimed that these were only suitable for elementary courses, and Steiner was dismissed in the autumn of 1822. The official reason was that his teaching was receiving criticism but the real reason was clearly his desire to use the methods he thought best rather than those required by the director, Dr Zimmermann. Again he took up private tutoring to earn enough money to allow him to attend courses at the University of Berlin, which he did from November 1822 to August 1824. Carl Jacobi, although eight years younger than Steiner, was a student at the University of Berlin at this time and soon Steiner and Jacobi became friends. In 1825 Steiner was appointed as an assistant master at the Technical School of Berlin.
The type of difficulties that Steiner had experienced at the Werder Gymnasium again arose at the Technical School. He was expected to follow the orders of the director, K F von Klöden, without question. Klöden, almost certainly correctly, believed that Steiner was not giving him the respect that he deserved. He retaliated in a severe manner, making unreasonable demands of Steiner that [1]:-
... even a soldier subject to military discipline could hardly be expected to accept.Despite the bad atmosphere, Steiner managed to carry out some outstanding mathematical research while teaching at the Technical School. He was promoted to senior master in 1829. We have already mentions that Steiner became friendly with Jacobi, but he also became friendly with other influential mathematicians in Berlin. Perhaps most important of these was August Crelle but his friendship with Niels Abel after he arrived in Berlin in 1826 was also significant. Steiner became an early contributor to Crelle's Journal, the Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, which was the first journal devoted entirely to mathematics founded. The first volume of the journal appeared in 1826 and contains Steiner's first long work, Einige geometrische Betrachtungen Ⓣ. This paper is important as being the first published systematic account of the theory of the power of a point with respect to a circle, and the points of similitude of circles. It is also important for Steiner's use of the principle of inversion in many of the proofs. This paper was the first of 62 papers which Steiner published in Crelle's Journal. In his paper Several laws governing the division of planes and space, which also appeared in the first volume of Crelle's Journal, he considers the problem: What is the maximum number of parts into which a space can be divided by n planes? It is a beautiful problem and has the solution (n3 + 5n + 6)/6. See [3] for a solution.
In 1832 Steiner published his first book Systematische Entwicklung der Abhangigkeit geometrischer Gestalten voneinander Ⓣ. Much of the material had already appeared in Steiner's papers over the preceding six years. The Preface of this book gives an interesting view of Steiner's approach to mathematics in general and the geometric material of book in particular:-
The present work is an attempt to discover the organism through which the most varied spatial phenomena are linked with one another. There exist a limited number of very simple fundamental relationships that together constitute the schema by means of which the remaining theorems can be developed logically and without difficulty. Through the proper adoption of the few basic relations one becomes master of the entire field. Order replaces chaos: and one sees how all the parts mesh naturally, arrange themselves in the most beautiful order, and form well-defined groups. In this manner one obtains, simultaneously, the elements from which nature starts when, with the greatest possible economy and in the simplest way, it endows the figures with infinitely many properties. Here the main thing is neither the synthetic nor the analytic method, but the discovery of the mutual dependence of the figures and of the way in which their properties are carried over from the simple to the more complex ones. This connection and transition is the real source of all the remaining individual propositions of geometry. Properties of figures the very existence of which one previously had to be convinced through ingenious demonstrations and which, when found, stood as something marvellous, are now revealed as necessary consequences of the common properties of these newly discovered basic elements, and the former are established a priori by the latter.Soon Steiner was being honoured for his remarkable achievements. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Königsberg on 20 April 1833 on the recommendation of Jacobi, then elected to the Prussian Academy of Sciences on 5 June 1834. He was appointed to a new extraordinary professorship of geometry at the University of Berlin on 8 October 1834. The post had been specially created for him by Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt; he held it until his death. He was in Rome in 1844 and on this visit he spent his time investigating a fourth order surface of the third class now called the 'Roman surface' or 'Steiner surface'. He spent the winter of 1854-55 in Paris and during his stay there was elected to the Académie des Sciences.
He was one of the greatest contributors to projective geometry. He discovered the 'Steiner surface' which has a double infinity of conic sections on it. The 'Steiner theorem' states that the two pencils by which a conic is projected from two of its points are projectively related. Another famous result is the 'Poncelet-Steiner theorem' which shows that only one given circle and a straight edge are required for Euclidean constructions. This was basically the topic of his second book Die geometrischen Konstructionen ausgefuhrt mittelst der geraden Linie and eines festen Kreises Ⓣ (1833). The proof, essentially as given by Steiner, is reproduced in [3]. Many of his publications involved an investigation of conic sections and surfaces. For example he considered the problem: Of all ellipses that can be circumscribed about (inscribed in) a given triangle, which one has the smallest (largest) area? Today these ellipses are called the 'Steiner ellipses'.
In a short paper of fundamental importance written in 1848 entitled Allgemeine Eigenschaften algebraischer Curven Ⓣ he discussed polar curves of a point with respect to a given curve. He also introduced Steiner curves, discussed tangents at points of inflection, double tangents, cusps and double points. In particular he indicated the resulting relationships for the twenty-eight double tangents of the fourth degree curve. This wealth of material is presented, however, without any indication of the proofs which Steiner had found. Otto Hesse described these results saying:-
... they are, like Fermat's theorems, riddles for the present and future generations.Complete proofs of all the results in this paper were found by Luigi Cremona and published in his book on algebraic curves.
Steiner disliked algebra and analysis and believed that calculation replaces thinking while geometry stimulates thinking. He was described by Thomas Hirst as follows:-
He is a middle-aged man, of pretty stout proportions, has a long intellectual face, with beard and moustache and a fine prominent forehead, hair dark rather inclining to turn grey. The first thing that strikes you on his face is a dash of care and anxiety, almost pain, as if arising from physical suffering - he has rheumatism. He never prepares his lectures beforehand. He thus often stumbles or fails to prove what he wishes at the moment, and at every such failure he is sure to make some characteristic remark.Jacobi wrote of his friend Steiner:-
Starting from a few spatial properties Steiner attempted, by means of simple schema, to attain a comprehensive view of the multitude of geometric theorems that had been rent asunder. He sought to assign each its special position in relation to the others, to bring order to chaos, to interlock all parts according to nature, and to assemble them into well-defined groups. In discovering the organism through which the most varied phenomena of space are linked, he not only furthered the development of a geometric synthesis; he also provided a model of a complete method and execution for all other branches of mathematics.Despite being a mathematical genius, in other ways Steiner was a difficult person. Burckhardt writes [1]:-
Students and contemporaries wrote of the brilliance of Steiner's geometric research and of the fiery temperament he displayed in leading others into the new territory he had discovered. Combined with this were very liberal political views. Moreover, he often behaved crudely and spoke bluntly, thereby alienating a number of people.The last ten years of Steiner's life were increasingly difficult through illness. Kidney problems caused him to spend most of the year in his native Switzerland, only going to Berlin in the winter to deliver his lectures. Eventually he became totally bedridden and was unable to carry out any teaching duties. Steiner never married and, perhaps as a consequence, left a fortune on his death. One third of this fortune went to the Berlin Academy to found the Steiner Prize. The rest of the money was divided between his relatives and the school in his native village of Utzenstorf. His last wish was that poor children in his home town could have a better educational opportunity than he himself had.

It's a three-day weekend so things are going to be a little looser than usual around these parts. Especially today. At 12 p.m. I'll be doing a live chat in the comments section. Bring your questions, your ire, your cookie sheets.
Oh that girl up there is Urban Meyer's daughter. It appears she's become the latest obsession with some of the rub-and-tug crew. Congratulations to Frathouse Sports for rummaging through Flickr accounts and watermarking those photos.
Today we'll also bring back some Deleted Scenes. But as single posts. So it'll even be more confusing to people who don't know the deal with #deadspindeletedscenes. The goal is to get some sort of formula in place before the redesign happens and all our lives are turned upside down. You remember Deleted Scenes, right? It's where we post some of the unverifiable sludge that invades our in-box which we have no desire to track down whatsoever. Stuff like this:
so word on the street (or by the guy who used to ref D-II games, D-I practice games and ate breakfast occasionally with C.J. Spiller) says that urban meyer isn't leaving because his wife won't leave because she is banging the some trainer at the fancy dancy ymca that I guess is expensive and exclusive in Gainesville connected to some hospital.
Thats what I heard, have fun
* Social media promotional stuff. Yes, you'll be asked to join Twitter/Facebook/Newsletter just because we're doing that sort of thing now. I'll try to reward you with something for taking the time to do it.
* Special guests. They may come, they may not. You'd be amazed at how many people are drinking right now.
* For you ladies (or men): An opportunity to win a date with the Crashtern, Dave Matthews, who's sorely underpaid so I'm trying to compensate him by getting him laid. All are welcome!
Again, I'll be live-chatting at noon. No questions are off limits. And good morning. It's a three-day weekend so I'm playing another goddamn song just because I feel like it. Let's enhance our shaky credibility.

HOTSEAT- Top o' the ticket? Deeds in HotSeat again
When this newspaper was launched in early 2002, not many people around here had ever heard of the state senator from Bath County who had just won the 25th District seat of the beloved, late Emily Couric. That's why, when Creigh Deeds sat in the Hook's first HotSeat, we put a pronunciation guide, "It's 'Cree,' not 'Cray,'" right in the headline.
Flash forward seven years. Deeds is still in the HotSeat, this time running for governor.
He put a big dent in the name recognition factor with his 2005 run for attorney general, which featured a heartbreakingly close 360-vote loss to Bob McDonnell, the Republican now gunning for governor.
While it could easily feel like déjà vu, before Deeds has a chance to take a swing at McDonnell again, he's got to come out on top of fellow Democrats Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran in the June 9 primary.
There are other differences from the 2005 race that brought Tim Kaine to the governor's mansion. "I'm not running on anybody's ticket this time," says Deeds. "I'm saying what I want to say."
And he's saying it faster, as if he doesn't have much time to get it out. "Everything I've done has prepared me for this," he adds.
Deeds is quick to point out that he's the only Democrat in the race who's both run a statewide campaign and run against McDonnell. "I know how to skin this cat," he says with the folksiness one expects from the only rural candidate– and only native Virginian– in the three-way primary.
"Stepping up from attorney general campaigning to governor is like going from AA ball to the major leagues," says Deeds. "Like going from the Chattanooga Choo-Choos to the New York Mets."
Ditto running for statewide office after growing up in Bath County where his family has lived for generations. An attorney, Deeds won his first public office at age 27 when he was elected commonwealth's attorney. From there, he went to the House of Delegates for 10 years before winning his state senate seat. At every step of the way, he's been asked, how can a guy from Millboro Springs (estimated pop. 396) run for office outside Bath County?
Recent polls show Deeds trailing against his two fellow Dem contenders– yet coming closest in a match-up against McDonnell in November.
"Bob McDonnell is doing his best to remake himself into a moderate," declares Deeds. "We'll see if the media lets him. I'm not."
Though Deeds says, "I like Terry McAuliffe," he also notes that 80 percent of McAuliffe's war chest was raised outside the state. "Where you raise your money says a lot about the kind of governor you're going to be," says Deeds. "Most of mine is from Virginia."
He also mentions that Brian Moran has gotten campaign donations from contractors who have legislation in front of his brother, U.S. Representative Jim Moran. "There's nothing wrong with trying to solicit donations from defense contractors," says Deeds. "I've solicited money from them and from a lot of people. But my brother isn't on a congressional committee."
Deeds picked up some press when he skipped the annual political mecca that is the Shad Planking in order to campaign in the western part of the state with Congressman Rick Boucher. To Deeds, it was an obvious choice to take the blessing of the "wildly successful, wildly popular" Boucher over an event swarmed by 1,000 people who "have already made up their minds."
"I got lots of press out of not going, and I reached thousands of people," says Deeds, voicing one regret: "I missed the shad."
A little over a week later, Deeds visits Charlottesville before an evening event in Hot Springs back in Bath County, but he is only going to drop by home, say hello, and head east again to Richmond for a breakfast the next morning. And he sees no slowdown after the June 9 primary. "After November 3, I'm planning on taking a few hours off," says Deeds. "Maybe a day."
Age: 51
What do you like best about Charlottesville? The friendly faces, the good places to eat like Christian's, the Nook, C&O, Basil– my daughter works there– and I love the New Dominion Bookshop.
Least? Humidity in July.
Favorite hangout here? Deeds for Governor Campaign Headquarters at 214 Ridge Street. Come on by to join our grassroots campaign!
Most overrated virtue? There is no such thing as an overrated virtue, but virtues can certainly be cheapened.
People would be surprised to know: I have a donkey named Harry S. Truman.
What would you change about yourself? Better exercise discipline
Proudest accomplishment? Holding the distinction of being the first person to appear in the "HotSeat" for the first-ever edition of the Hook.
People find most annoying about you: I don't give up, and I never quit.
Whom do you admire? Gerry Baliles– he was a governor who made it all count.
Favorite book? Omnivore's Dilemma– many valuable lessons about people, life on earth, and our food supply.
Subject that causes you to rant? People who take themselves too seriously.
Biggest 21st-century thrill? The iPod
Biggest 21st-century creep out? The demise of print media
What do you drive? A 2002 Ford Explorer with over 307,000 miles on it.
In your car CD player right now: I'm an iPod guy and it is my constant companion on the road. Right now I am rotating between Gram Parsons, Little Feat, and The Band.
Next journey? We are facing tough straits right now, and I look forward to my journey as the next governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Most trouble you've ever gotten in? Got caught racing cars on Warm Springs Mountain when I was in high school.
Regret: I don't believe in regrets. You only live once, so you have to put it all in and take it all out.
Favorite comfort food: My wife Pam's cornbread dressing
Always in your refrigerator: The basics– eggs and milk
Must-see TV: House
Describe a perfect day. The sun is shining, the grass is green, and the water is clear, and I can walk in the stream and fish all afternoon long.
Walter Mitty fantasy: Clean-up hitter for my favorite baseball team– the Cincinnati Reds– and it's the bottom of the ninth with two outs, and runners in scoring position.
Who'd play you in the movie? Kevin Costner
Most embarrassing moment? The multiple times I've struck out at baseball games.
Best advice you ever got? My uncle Frank always told me growing up that you get out of things what you put into them. That's the best advice I've ever got.
Favorite bumper sticker? I've got to go with "Creigh Deeds for Governor"
