Doc Talk: Is Sequelitis Spreading to Documentaries?
How often do you leave a fiction movie wondering where those characters are now? It's a far more common question asked with nonfiction film, especially during filmmaker Q&As, yet we get far fewer sequels to documentaries than we do narrative features. The practice of producing doc follow-ups is increasing, however. Not anywhere close to the level Hollywood is outputting (at the start of this year, Box Office Mojo counted a record 27, which didn't even include docs), but in 2011 we'll have seen the following new nonfiction sequels:
Despite its title, Morgan Spurlock and Joss Whedon's fellow Toronto premiere, Comic-Con: Episode IV -- A Fan's Hope, is not in fact a sequel. But plenty others are on the way, including follow-ups to recent Oscar-winner GasLand, Sundance '11 vet Becoming Chaz and ESPN's 2010 Ricky Williams doc, Run Ricky Run, which will be titled The Truth Cabin. Eventually we might get that long-promised dramatic follow-up to The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, now reportedly to be a mockumentary-style sequel rather than a remake. Next year, UK viewers at least should expect the anticipated arrival of 56 Up, the latest installment in Michael Apted's classic septennial Up series.
That series, along with its franchise of international spin-offs/remakes, is perhaps the most commonly known instance of documentary sequels. The next one, which is set to shoot this fall and air in May, will be the seventh sequel (putting the series at Harry Potter length) to 1964's Seven Up!, originally intended as a one-shot look the future generation of England in its youth. Apted, a researcher and assistant on the first, decided to continually revisit the fourteen kids as they age. This series alone has certainly encouraged curiosity with other doc subjects' lives beyond their own films. At some point, though, the Up series will have to end, because eventually the subjects will die.
I don't mean to be morbid about it. Just something I realized in looking at doc sequels is how many films can't really have a follow-up due to their focal person's demise, either during (I won't spoil many of those titles) or long before production. We probably can't have a sequel to The Times of Harvey Milk or a second sequel to Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (the first was Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer), unless their respective filmmakers find new footage or interview people with new retrospective insights. They then might be like the sorts of overlapping, appendical follow-ups seen with The Beales of Grey Gardens and 65 Revisited (which is really Don't Look Back revisited). Not everyone would count these, however.
And what about docu-series sequels? The Fox network and Seth MacFarlane are working on a follow-up to Carl Sagan's classic 1980 mini-series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, described as a "successor," which will similarly consist of 13 episodes. The late scientist will not be able to participate, of course, but the new series, titled Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey and set for a 2013 premiere, at least involves original writer/producer Ann Druyan. We can count this, perhaps, only because it's been 30 years since the first series. If it had aired this year, a follow-up would qualify more like a second season of a reality show.
Speaking of reality series, could their popularity over the past decade have influenced this growing desire, particularly from audiences, for documentary feature follow-ups? While nonfiction film sequels have technically existed since cinema's beginnings, it seems like people today might be more eager to get the next episode of a real person's life story, in theaters just as they would on TV. Yet at the same time, current technologies may also curb necessity for doc sequels if subjects' lives are easily followed in real time on Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia, as was witnessed with Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest this year.
When else does a sequel not make sense for documentary? When the story is larger than a life or two, and when it pertains to history, to which every subsequent history is a follow-up anyway (in a kind of logic, both of Ken Burns' next mini-series, this fall's Prohibition and 2016's Vietnam, are sequels to his Civil War). Recall that Michael Moore had once intended on making a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, but that evolved into Capitalism: A Love Story. Still a subsequent and connected narrative, but not exactly a Part 2. He could still return to 9/11, which would make sense since it's still the highest-grossing non-IMAX doc of all time -- interestingly enough, second-highest is actually a sequel: Jackass 3-D -- and just as with fiction films, nonfiction successes are not to be left alone.
Moore's style also raises the question about other, less broadly focused first-person filmmakers. Are the autobiographical films of Ross McElwee (Sherman's March; Bright Leaves), Doug Block (51 Birch Street; The Kids Grow Up), Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me; POM Wonderful Presents the Greatest Movie Ever Sold) and Jonathan Couette (see above) basically sequels after their initial features? Are they like real-life Indiana Joneses and John McClanes, minus the action?
What other documentary sequels could one day be produced? If we look at financial interests, probably a follow-up to Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, though that might only be as much a 'sequel' as any Rolling Stone doc is a follow-up to an earlier one. It's been too long for a second March of the Penguins and any need for "Another Inconvenient Truth" would be too sad, for differing potential reasons (or, angry, like this recent Jimmy Kimmel trailer parody). Do you have a favorite doc subject/character you'd like revisited? Or, do you believe that, in spite of the unending quality of real life, doc features should be accepted as finite stories?

If you follow the food media, then you know about crack pie. I mean, Crack Pie ™. Yup, I believe that Momofuku has trademarked the name. I did not have a chance to visit Momofuku's Milk Bar during my last visit to New York City, but I will definitely go to Milk Bar during my next trip to NYC. And I will try Christina Tosi's Crack Pie ™. If the real thing tastes anything like the pie I baked today, then I will gladly pay $44 for the pie. Although, if the real thing does taste anything like the pie I baked today, then I actually don't need to buy the pie ever again since I can do it myself.
When I first set out to make the crack pie, I wasn't sure which recipe to use. Searching the internet resulted in 2 or 3 "official" recipes from Tosi. Her Milk Bar cook book is coming out this month and it will probably have yet another version of the recipe. I decided to go with the recipe published in the LA Times.
The recipe yields two 10-inch pies. I don't have any 10-inch pie pans, so I used one 9-inch pie pan (1-inch deep) and one 10-inch tart pan (3/4-inch deep). My pie version had a lower crust to filling ratio. The bottom crust was less distinct and melded into the thick and gooey layer of filling. My tart version had a higher crust to filling ratio. The crust stayed distinct and crisp. The thin layer of filling was less gooey and a tad more set than the filling in the pie version.
I had a hard time deciding which version I liked more. If I had to pick only one then I choose the tart version. I really liked how crisp the salty and sweet toasted oatmeal cookie crust was in the tart. It had a perfect amount of the sweet, buttery filling. Not too much and not too little.
The pie version was delicious too, but most of the bottom crust was slightly softened with the yummy filling and was not crisp enough for me. The side crust stayed crisp, but I wanted more crispy crust with every bite of my slice and not just at the edge. A 10-inch pie pan would actually result in the perfect ratio of filling to crust and just the right crispiness which is probably why the recipe says to use 10-inch pie pans (duh!). I will be running out soon to buy a couple pans since I will definitely be making this pie again.
There is an incredible amount of hype surrounding this pie. Many swoon over it. But there are just as many haters. Many of the dissenters have tried the pie at Milk Bar and were less than impressed. They tried the real thing and felt it was just so-so and would never pay to eat it again. I have no problem with that. But even more of the dissenters are people who have not tasted the Milk Bar Crack Pie ™ and have only tasted their own homemade version made using one of those "official" recipes. A lot of people are flabbergasted that anyone would have the nerve to charge $44 (or whatever price) for a simple pie and criticize a pie's cost instead of the taste of said pie. A more fair criticism would be that they would never pay $44 for the pie they made.
[BTW...Yes, I know we're in a recession and $44 for any pie in any economic climate can be considered excessive, but this is a luxury item not unlike $5 lattes or $100,000 cars.]
Initially I was a little worried about serving my crack pie since it's quite cosmetically challenged. It's very brown. Even the dusting of powdered sugar didn't help dress it up. It was hard to slice and get out of the pan cleanly. When I set the pie out to serve, I wasn't sure what to call it. Should I just say it's a chess pie with a salty, toasted oatmeal cookie crust? Would it be presumptuous to label it "crack" pie? What if people didn't get the name? Or even worse, what if they did get it and didn't agree that it was as addictive as crack? My worries were totally unfounded. Everyone who tried my pie absolutely loved it and said it totally lived up to its name. Someone told me that butter is her favorite food group.
Crack Pie
(Recipe from LA Times February 11, 2010)
Makes two 10-inch pies
LA Times Note: Adapted from Momofuku. This pie calls for two 10-inch pie tins. You can substitute two 9-inch pie tins, but note that the pies will require additional baking time, about 5 minutes, due to the increased thickness of the filling.
Alpineberry Notes:
-- Instead of a 9x13 pan to bake the oatmeal cookies, I used a half-sheet pan and spread the batter out to about 9x13.
-- Instead of two 10-inch pie pans, I used one 9-inch pie pan and one 10-inch tart pan.
-- My baking time for the pies was different from what is stated in the LA Times recipe. My total baking time was 40 minutes (350F for 20 minutes and then 325F for 20 minutes).
Oatmeal cookie for crust
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (3 ounces) flour
Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces / 1 stick) softened butter
1/3 cup (2.5 ounces) light brown sugar
3 tablespoons (1.25 ounces) sugar
1 large egg
Scant 1 cup (3.5 ounces) rolled oats
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Whisk the egg into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
5. With the mixer running, beat in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until fully combined. Stir in the oats until incorporated.
6. Spread the mixture onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking sheet and bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to the touch on a rack. Crumble the cooled cookie to use in the crust.
Crumbled cookie for crust (see oatmeal cookie recipe above)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Combine the crumbled cookie, butter, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until evenly combined and blended (a little of the mixture clumped between your fingers should hold together). Divide the crust between 2 (10-inch) pie tins. Press the crust into each shell to form a thin, even layer along the bottom and sides of the tins. Set the prepared crusts aside while you prepare the filling.
1 1/2 cups (10.5 ounces) sugar
3/4 cup plus a scant 3 tablespoons (7 ounces) light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon (0.75 ounce) milk powder
1 cup (8 ounces / 2 sticks) butter, melted
3/4 cup plus a scant 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 large egg yolks
2 prepared crusts
Powdered sugar, garnish
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, salt and milk powder. Whisk in the melted butter, then whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla.
3. Gently whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to add too much air.
4. Divide the filling evenly between the 2 prepared pie shells.
5. Bake the pies, one at a time, for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees and bake until the filling is slightly jiggly and golden brown (similar to a pecan pie), about 10 minutes. Remove the pies and cool on a rack.
6. Refrigerate the cooled pies until well chilled. The pies are meant to be served cold, and the filling will be gooey. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Just thought I would share this. I found another site which is a lot better some time ago - If I find it again, I'll show you.
I'll see if I can solve them. Maybe other people can have a crack at them?
websudoku.com is a good site for sudokus
Maybe the helicopter, maybe it's made of chocolate.
I'll have a go at the top four ones. The other variants appears to be to messy, I prefer the original way
Bang postponed. Not big enough. Reboot.
solved the first 4 :] actually, the first two were just naked singles all through, no fun

Excellent for Sudoku-ers. From Very Easy to Impossibly Hard...
If you're tired of the 9x9, try the 16x16. A little easy, but still worth a try.
And when you're done, try a 16x16 hexdoku. It's a little different from your normal Sudoku.
EDIT: http://heracleum.altervista.org/sudoku/huge_hard
25x25 sudoku.
EDIT 2: Erm...100x100 sudoku, anyone? O_o
To solve, left-click on a square to select the numbers from 1-100, and right-click to go back the other way.

When I left islam and realized all other religions are a load of bull crap and became atheist It was one of the best feeling i had i felt free from guilt and can do anything you want like accepting facts , sexual desires are ok , eating pork etc as long as your not hurting others. What about you what was how did it feel and what about your story ? Sorry for my bad English since it's not my first language.
Views: 1652
Did you try it, as did an American politician recently on a visit to the "Holy" Land.
Hey! I can walk on water too!
...So long as it's frozen solid.
I can do it in summer. My feet sweat.
I took elements of my religion with me. There were many things in my religious training that apply to atheist behavior as much as a Christian, Jew, or Muslim. I do not have to believe in God in order to appreciate the human wisdom (as well as folly) of the believers who set their faith down in writings, but one must distinguish between the thoughts of an intelligent, compassionate mind and hallucinations about pork, beards, and shellfish.
For some reason the biggest thing I took away from religion was a sense of purposelessness. I suppose that is understandable when someone grows up being told that this life is temporary, difficult, painful, etc... and all we have to do is work towards the kingdom - where it will all go away. This life is something to get past, nothing more. In fact it is a terrible thing to have to suffer through it without a relationship with Jesus.
It would be unfair to say that this is all Christianity has to offer or teach, but it is the natural conclusion of its teachings. This was particularly hard for me early on - I had a 20 year handicap in the search for meaning.
I'd say that I'm over it now, but such thoughts still creep up into my consciousness and it takes constant effort to keep them at bay.
yeah, I pretty much agree with everyone here, it was as if the perverbial 'blinders' were taken away and I could see the world for what/how it actually is. I can also say I learned alot more about science and history than as a theist. Rationality I reccomend it lol.
The first thing I felt was a feeling like a blindfold was removed. I had just been shunned by my Wiccan "friends" and decided to read "The Demon Haunted World". That book was what did it. In fact I had put off reading that book, maybe for that reason. I realized all the "unexplained supernatural phenomena" had a simple explanation. I hadn't really believed witchcraft worked...I just wanted to be proved wrong, and wanted to fit in.
I felt a little vindictive. Atheism was part of that. Paganism is still a "trigger" for me. I'm uncomfortable with how a lot of pagans, when at parties of people in overlapping cultures, assume that everyone there is pagan or wants to be pagan, and proselytizes just as much as any Bible thumper.
In my experience coming out, sometimes people have the most energy and enthusiasm at that point. I was a lot more excited about atheism. Now I'm still glad I am who I am, but I've chilled out a little. I know that there are irrational people and jerks and people who treat things like religion in any group.
For me it was being released from a life of fear. No more wondering if the moon was turning to blood, thus harboring the beginning of the apocalypse; no more feeling watched over when I had sex outside of marriage; no more trying to imagine the fiery hell furnace that I was sure awaited me; no more guilt about not going to church; no more images of demons under my bed; no more fear of ghosts; no more fear of death; no more fear of not measuring up to a demanding god; no more worry about "what people at church would say"; no more wondering if I was getting it right; no more wondering if I was praying to the right god.
It is such a relief to be able to say "I don't believe in that. It has no control over me." It has given me more self-confidence than any Tony Robbins (*cough*asshole*cough*) seminar could ever give. I think because of my realization that the ultimate authority figure has no hold on me, I am able to question all authority figures. I question my doctor, my accountant, books, anything in written form, stupid emails, facts that sound weird and facts that seem sound. There is nothing sacred anymore, as far as I'm concerned.
And I enjoy life so much more.
Nice topic Ibrahim.
My own exit from fundamentalism was gradual, and so long ago I don't remember all of the details any more.
As others state it was liberating.
I was amazing to know that I had full responsibility for my life. Not just in religious rules but all aspects.
It was like I someone had removed a hood from over my head, letting in light, and air, and vision, and hearing.
I gave me a chance to discover how others became who they were.
That inspiration resulted in living a life, far different from what it would have been.
Instead of eating pork, I would up vegetarian, but that is my choice. You have yours.
You are right about sexual liberation. And dietary liberation. And thought liberation.
I learned that, having one life, it was my responsibility to make it matter.
I am more forgiving of others. We are only human.
Enjoy your life Ibrahim! Make it count!
I had a feeling of freedom (from fear of wrath and the chains that had held my mind), clarity (I realised how much I had twisted my own mind to make religion fit) and pride (I was not a useless sinner who could not get anything right without god's help, my achievements are my own).
It was a little scary, because there is no plan, no powerful being looking out for me, on god to call on in a time of need and I had to be responsible for my own fate.
Then I realised what I could do and achieve with that responsibility and all I had to do was step up and accept it.
I just woke up one day and realized theism hadn't made sense to me for the past two years. I just discovered that I was already an atheist. Just an acknowledgement of wholeness and authenticity which I'd achieved somewhere deep in my brain, then making a minor adjustment in thinking to accommodate it.

BOSTON — Boston Bruins winger Milan Lucic did not take the warm-up with his teammates at TD Banknorth Garden 20 minutes before puck drop for the game between the Bruins and Montreal.
In Lucic's place during line drills, Martin St. Pierre, a call-up from Providence (AHL), skated on left wing alongside Marc Savard and Chuck Kobasew, who shifted back to his natural right wing position.
Lucic will now have missed three games with an undisclosed injury.

MALMO, Sweden (AP) — An ethno-inspired flute and drum tune from Denmark is the bookmakers' favorite to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday, which also features a bizarre opera pop number from Romania and an Armenian rock song written by the guitarist of Black Sabbath.
Yes, it's that time of the year again.
The televised pan-European extravaganza, known for its kitschy shows, bad taste and bizarre offerings, is still expected to be seen by about 125 million television viewers worldwide.
This year's contest is being hosted in Malmo, southern Sweden, following the victory of the Nordic country's contestant Loreen with "Euphoria" last year.
According to bookmakers, the hippie-chic Emmelie De Forest of Denmark is the favorite to win, driving the song "Only Teardrops" with her deep, Shakira-like voice. Her main challenge comes from the clean-cut techno pop tune "I Feed You My Love" by Norway's Margaret Berger, who rose to fame at home after becoming the runner-up in Norway's version of Pop Idol in 2004.
"I will be nervous before going on stage," De Forest said Friday. "I think we have a really good song that can take us far, but let's see, anything can happen."
Finland's Krista Siegfrid provided this year's controversy, ending her bouncy bubble-gum pop number "Marry Me" with a girl-on-girl kiss that some have interpreted as a stance promoting gay marriage. While the show will not raise eyebrows in most parts of Western Europe — where Eurovision has long been a bastion of gay culture — the act may jar sensitivities in parts of eastern and southern Europe.
"The fact is that Finland is the only country in the Nordic countries where gay marriage is not allowed, and I think that's wrong," Siegfrid told The Associated Press. "It's 2013 now and ... I can kiss anyone I want to. It shouldn't be a problem."
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, who arrived in Malmo to watch the competition Saturday, said it is a unique event that unites Europe.
"We see the old Yugoslavia, now independent states, after a decade of war they always vote for each other in Eurovision, " Bildt said. "That I think is fun."
This year's competition also sees the return to the international stage of two seasoned European stars. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" singer Bonnie Tyler is representing Britain with "Believe In Me" while Anouk, whose song "Nobody's Wife" was a big hit in Europe in the 1990s, is singing the song "Birds" for The Netherlands.
Among the more notable performances is the Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich with her song "Gravity." Ognevich is carried onstage by the tallest man in the U.S. — Ukrainian-born Igor Vovkovinskiy. Vovkovinskiy — who stands 7 feet, 8 inches (234 centimeters) —wobbles onstage in a fur and feathers, placing the fairy-like Ognevich on a rock where she stands for the rest of the performance.
There is also Armenian rock group Dorians, whose gloomy song "Lonely Planet" has been written by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi.
Romania's Cezar, who resembles a Dracula reborn as a high-pitched vocalist, is apparently a reputable opera singer, but is attempting a crossover opera pop number with techno beats and pyrotechnics. Three muscular male dancers in red body paint are delivered out of a large red cape.
Two semifinals this week have whittled down the contestants from 40 to 26. The winner is picked by juries and television viewers across the continent, and the winning nation will stage next year's event.
Having won five times, most famously with ABBA's Waterloo in 1974, Sweden is a veteran of Eurovision. This weekend it is taking the opportunity to showcase some of its big music acts. The opening of the competition is set to feature a song especially composed by Swedish super DJ Aviici, together with ABBA members Bjorn Ulveaus and Benny Andersson.
Yet the event — with a price tag of around 153.5 million Swedish kronor ($23 million) — won't measure up to last year's lavish competition hosted by oil-rich Azerbaijan in its capital, Baku.
"We have attempted to host Eurovision with less money to show that it is possible to do this without it being too painful for the host country," said Jan-Erik Westman, a spokesman of host broadcaster SVT.
The festive atmosphere was visible throughout the city of Malmo on Saturday, where residents and visitors blended on the streets waving the flags of their favorite countries.
Associated Press television producer David MacDougall and Associated Press reporter Jan Olsen contributed to this report.

I was once at a high-end Tempura restaurant in Kyoto, they have both tatami-mat rooms and tempura-bar ozashiki. We had our dinner at tempura bar which was located in a traditional-style room with great garden view. Comfortable, cosy and we were able to chat with the chef as we eat.
I was impressed with some of the tempura items they served, such as sweet pea tempura. It was just ordinary sweet peas at a glance until after I took a bite and revealed the filling inside. They actually removed the peas and stuffed pod with mashed peas, a lot of time and efforts put into a small sweet pea.
Well, my tempura (天ぷら, tenpura) has long way to go before I can compete with the mentioned restaurant but good enough to serve to my loved ones. In fact, it is one of the most frequently "ordered" Japanese food at My Kitchen.
Recipe adapted from Practical Japanese Cooking cookbook by Shizuo Tsuji and Koichiro Hata.
200 g cake flour
400 ml ice water
1 small egg (original recipe called for 2 egg yolks)
Pinch of dashi powder (optional)
- Combine egg and ice water, pour into flour and mix roughly.
- Coat ingredients with flour then dip into batter
- Deep-fry.

when i push "ctrl+x" i lost cursor on editor, using latest xubuntu x64 and sublime text 2 linux x64, what the problem?
view -> show console
There paste and enter this:
Then, just focus the view, select something and press CTRL+X
The output after the selection should be:
command: cut
Maybe you have some package interfering with this action.
, and after lost cursor, side panel and open files
Video of this problem: https://vimeo.com/44958741
Thanks for the video, can you follow these instructions (backing up your data directory first), and let me know if it still occurs? sublimetext.com/docs/2/revert.html
I'm encountering the same issue. Deleting my ~/.config/sublime-text-2 directory does not resolve the issue.
More details:- I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 and XFCE 4.8.0 (the OP was running Xubuntu, which makes me wonder if this is XFCE-related. I can try to reproduce the behavior in Gnome or Fluxbox if that would help narrow it down)- I have the latest Sublime 2.0.1 (installed using the instructions here: ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/sublime)
Reliable repro steps on my box:- rm -r ~/.config/sublime-text-2- subl foo.txt- type abcdef- select "abc" on line 1, ctrl-x// the abc line doesn't disappear at this point, as I'd expect it to- place cursor on line 3, ctrl-v// line 3 now contains "abc", line 1 still has "abc"- press enter a few times// new lines are created as expected, but the cursor doesn't move - it remains at the beginning of line 3
Let me know if there's any more info I can provide. I love Sublime and use it on Windows, but my primary development is done in Ubuntu and this funky behavior essentially blocks me from using it every day.
More and more i hear about this issue from peoples who use XFCE. Well, problem not solved, developers are silent, i go back to vim!
I'm using Sublime on Ubuntu and I'm seeing the same problem. No Sublime expert by any means but I hope I can submit enough information here for the problem to be fixed.
One observation that feels like it could be relevant and important: The problem is the same if Edit-menu -> Copy is used. This eliminates the problem source of the OS/virtualization messing up keyboard input / modifier keys.
The problem is also the same regardless of amount of text selected or if no text is selected at all. Edit: Removing .config/sublime-text-2 and reverting to factory default settings doesn't make any difference.
Sublime 2.0.1, Build 2217, 32-bit, LicensedClient OS: Ubuntu 12.04 32-bitHost OS: Windows 7 running VirtualBox
Steps to reproduce cursor problem and restore functionality:
]Place the cursor anywhere in a text file/]]Press Ctrl-C or Edit-menu -> Copy/]]Press arrow keys. The text cursor will not move.

This is the output of the Sublime console:command: move {"by": "characters", "forward": false} (cursor still moving here)command: move {"by": "characters", "extend": true, "forward": true} (cursor still moving here)command: move {"by": "characters", "extend": true, "forward": true} (cursor still moving here)command: copycommand: move {"by": "lines", "forward": false} (cursor frozen here at the position before copy)command: move {"by": "lines", "forward": false} (cursor frozen here)command: move {"by": "lines", "forward": true} (cursor frozen here)command: move {"by": "lines", "forward": true} (cursor frozen here)(switching to host window and back again here)command: move {"by": "lines", "forward": false} (cursor moving again here)command: move {"by": "lines", "forward": false} (cursor moving again here)
Another observation:Switching to Unity 2D at the Ubuntu login screen seems to make the cursor work again. After switching back again to Unity 3D Sublime still has the cursor working, at least temporarily. Will report back after some extended use if it stays in this state or turns stationary on copy again.
I am having this exact problem on Ubuntu 12.10 with XFCE, it really makes the program hard to use, and Unity 3d is unusable for performance reasons for me.
I would like to see this bug resolved.
Exactly the same problem, Ubuntu 12.10 XFCE, ST2 Build 2217
When you press Ctrl-X, program "thinks" over 5 seconds. More: the cursor is not properly updated (the shadow on the left bar is moving, but | is not). It seems it's exactly the described problem...
This is also happening to me on Xubuntu 12.10. I just paid full price to register this program and it's very disappointing to learn that this is a known issue that has been happening for almost half a year and is reproducable without being fixed. I can't cut text without breaking the stupid thing, yet I am loving all the other amazing new functionality I've never had before with any other editor. This is a serious WTF.
And the only so-called support for Sublime Text 2 is posting in a forum, yet there's direct e-mail for sales? That's really poor customer service. Really.
I'm unable to replicate this.
Repro attempt:- Create new VM based on Ubuntu 12.10 i386- apt-get install xfce4- Login using xfce- Download and run Sublime Text 2217. Text is able to be cut without issues.- Install and run xfce4-clipman- Sublime Text is still able to cut and paste text without issue.
Same issue here, using xfce and ubuntu 12.10 (64bit version)
The cursor stops moving after copy, but just the visually representation of it. When I start typing the letters appears in the expected place, but the cursor itself is still stuck where it was when i copied text.
iznogood and I both have the issue on the 64-bit version of Xubuntu. Maybe that is required to replicate. It could be the 64-bit version, or it could be xfce instead of Ubuntu's bloated window manager.
I'm also having this problem on Ubuntu x64 with XFCE.
In addition, I'm having the same problem (on 64-bit Xubuntu) when I copy/paste.
Do you have a 5-second timer somewhere in your code? Because this looks like a huge clue:
When I copy then paste, then use the arrow keys on the keyboard, the cursor stays put but the highlighting in the left margin moves with the arrow keys. If I type, the text is entered by the highlighted margin, not the cursor. If I take my hands off the keyboard and wait, it looks like after exactly five seconds it will correct itself.
I hope this helps.
I am having the same issue. Linux Mint 13 XFCE 4.10 64bit
Unfortunately it does make Sublime unusable (I am a paid licensee)
Hope it gets fixed soon.
I've just e-mailed email@example.com requesting a refund, since this bug is being ignored. I e-mailed them weeks ago asking for some support on this and heard nothing in return. Many of us have chimed in on this thread complaining that it makes the product unusable. We've explained in detail what environments it doesn't work on.
I urge all of you affected by this to also request a refund to show them that this issue is important. Why should we throw away money for an unsupported product?
I received my refund yesterday, so I'm not going to complain about it anymore.
I'm disappointed that there was no apology, explanation, or even an excuse given. Just a refund notification from PayPal.
I really like Sublime Text 2, and I told several people about it when I first started using it. I really hope they fix it and improve their terrible customer service image. Hopefully I'll once again be a customer.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing a different type of student-athlete.
Most people think of a member of the football, basketball or track team when remembering one of TSU's greatest players. However, William "Tiny" Cox (1946-50) is one of the school's most accomplished athletes, and he made a name for himself due to his prowess in the boxing ring.
Cox attended Tennessee State from 1946-50 and majored in biology. During that time he won four straight Midwestern Intercollegiate Featherweight Boxing Tournaments from 1947-50.
The Memphis native was also named the Golden Gloves Boxing Champion while representing the school in the 1948 and 1950 Golden Glove Competition held in Evansville, Ind.
In 1948 Cox was a semi-finalist in the Chicago Golden Gloves Featherweight Division, and two years later he became a finalist.
Cox was also invited to box for his country by participating in the 1950 Pan American Olympic Boxing Trials.
"Tiny" came back to Tennessee State in 1960 to earn his Masters Degree Administration and Supervision. He has used his degree to become principal at several elementary schools across the Mid-West.
In 1983, Cox was inducted into TSU's Sports Hall of Fame.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Wherever you are in the world, real estate is one of the most exciting industries going. From helping young couples take their first step on the property ladder, to finding the dream home for a friendly family, a career in real estate provides no end of rewards.
Not all careers in real estate are the same though: only the most successful agents have the opportunity to take on special properties. Here are five essential tips that will help you on your way to achieving success in this competitive world.
1. Don't discount education
While the specific details of real estate can only be learned in the business, that's not to say it pays to jump right in at the deep end. The skills earned through a good education are priceless and will offer you a solid foundation for your real estate career.
2. Find a mentor
Each day in the real estate business will come with its own lessons and surprises. While you'll always learn from difficult situations, it helps to be prepared. What better way to ready yourself for the industry than to learn from someone who's seen it all before?
Finding a mentor is an excellent way to ensure that you're getting the most from each and every day in the office. Any senior figure at your firm with whom you have a good relationship is a potential candidate for offering career tips and real estate advice.
3. Embrace social media
Like any other industry, real estate is constantly evolving. By far the most significant development in recent years has been online. Young real estate agents keen to get into the game are valued largely for their knowledge and expertise on social media channels. Remember that best practice real estate is all about sales, and that means reaching out to customers wherever they may be.
4. Know your market inside out
Just about everything you do in your real estate career, from valuations to answering questions on viewings, relies on your knowledge of the market. Not only do you need to understand the state of demand in your market (which will be in a constant state of flux, by the way), you also need to know the area inside out.
5. Invest in people
No successful real estate career is possible without excellent people skills. From the way you deal with clients, to the people you eventually employ in your own office, your relationships with people will ultimately determine your success in real estate. Invest your time and them and build trust, and you're guaranteed results from your first week in the game.
Engel & Völkers is one of the most respected names in the world of property, operating in some 32 countries around the world. To find out how you can begin your career as a real estate agent, speak to our experienced team or visit the Engel & Völkers website today.

Wisteria Cottage is the final jigsaw piece in redevelopment of the historical society's campus at 780 Prospect St.
Site improvements have included the conversion of a relocated historic home into LJHS's offices, along with the conversion of a garage for historical archives.
The restoration of Wisteria Cottage finishes the job, enhancing the last intact remnant of philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps' South Moulton Villa estate on Prospect Street.
"We will have a five-day series of opening events the first week of May starting with the donors of our capital campaign, inviting them in to help celebrate," said LJHS executive director Heath Fox.
He said the festivities will include a "weeklong series of open houses for the public."
With the reopening of the campus on May 4, the La Jolla Historical Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary, said Fox.
"For the society, this pivotal moment marks the first time — after 50 years of collecting archival materials — that exhibitions can be prepared and presented inside professionally designed museum galleries," he said.
The cottage restoration started in summer 2013 and is expected to "cost about $1 million," Fox said.
Fox noted the anniversary also marks the end of years of a nomadic existence for the historical society, and the beginning of "a permanent home for its education programs, public outreach, historic research and archives."
Fox said cottage renovations have preserved the integrity of the structure while updating it at the same time.
"The first floor is all exhibition space, 1,450 square feet," Fox said. "We have now brought that space up to museum standards. It will allow us to present high-quality exhibitions with precious materials and works of art."
The renovated facility will have new state-of-the-art humidity control and fire-safety systems," Fox said.
Wisteria Cottage is the enduring repository of La Jolla history. Landmark status was assigned to it in 1982 for its design and century-long association with the Scripps family.
From the 1940s to the early 1960s, the cottage served as The Balmer School, later renamed La Jolla Country Day School. The cottage was then primarily John Coles Book Store from the mid-1960s until 2005.
Through the visionary stewardship of the Scripps/Revelle family, the 1904 Craftsman-style cottage, garage and the intact landscape were deeded to the La Jolla Historical Society in 2008.
The approach to the Wisteria restoration, led by architect Ione R. Stiegler of La Jolla-based IS Architecture and general contractor Hill Construction Company of San Diego, was to restore the cottage's exterior to the period of around 1910, when Virginia Scripps owned it and Irving Gill remodeled it. The plan was then to convert the interior exclusively for exhibition gallery space.
"The outside has been historically preserved and the inside has been adaptively reused," said Fox. "It's going to be a wonderful building and in a lot of ways is going to be a national model for preservation of a historic community building."
The cottage's exterior renovation follows the best practices of historic preservation, as set forth by the standards of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior.
The interior of the cottage follows best practices as set forth by the standards of the American Alliance of Museums (formally the American Association of Museums).
Wisteria Cottage, the oldest structure in what is today called the Scripps Cultural District, was once owned by Virginia Scripps and was remodeled in 1907-09 by Gill, a master architect.
The conference room in the adjacent Balmer Annex, built for the Balmer School in the late 1940s and restored to that period, will provide renovated facilities for meetings, workshops, educational programs and community activities.
Improvements to the office and research center, a 1909 cottage relocated to the property in the 1980s, will provide a more conducive setting for members of the public to consult with the historical society's archivist and historian regarding information needs and access to archival materials, said Fox.
The inaugural exhibition in the early May opening of Wisteria Cottage will be "Climate Change: Mid-century Modern La Jolla," curated by Dave Hampton.
The exhibition and its accompanying catalog will explore the history of La Jolla in the 1950s and 1960s — decades of change when a small circle of postwar modernists emerged to spearhead new ideas in the arts, design and architecture.
The La Jolla Historical Society is dedicated to the discovery, collection and preservation of La Jolla's heritage. Through exhibitions, programs, collections and advocacy, the historical society presents and promotes awareness of the community's rich historical record.
Founded in 1964, the LJHS operates from a campus consisting of Wisteria Cottage, the adjacent Balmer Annex used for educational programs and community activities, a 1909 beach cottage which serves as office and public research center, and an archival storage building.
The historical society's historical collection consists of more than 20,000 photographs, local newspaper archives, architectural drawings and numerous personal and public records from all periods of La Jolla's history.

BEIJING (AP) — China has tightened restrictions on North Korea by issuing a long list of weapons-related technology and materials banned from export to its neighbor, reflecting Beijing's desire to get Pyongyang to scrap its nuclear programs and rejoin disarmament talks.
The announcement posted Tuesday on the Chinese Commerce Ministry website comes as two American experts said that Pyongyang can now make crucial equipment for producing uranium-based bombs on its own, cutting out imports that had been one of the few ways outsiders could monitor the country's secretive atomic work.
The list of forbidden items includes those with both civilian and military applications in the nuclear, ballistic, chemical and biological fields. The notice said the list was aimed at boosting enforcement of U.N. Security Council resolutions on North Korea passed since 2006.
The move is a continuation of China's new policy of putting slightly greater pressure on North Korea to coax it back to disarmament talks, said Li Mingjiang, China security expert at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University.
China could have simply implemented the ban, but announcing it so publicly was a sign to the U.S. and the rest of the international community that Beijing is sincere in meeting its commitments, Li said. He said it's also a rebuke to Pyongyang.
"The leaders in Pyongyang will hate this. They'll be angry," Li said. Pyongyang likely will "swallow the bitter pill" and may respond with concessions, he said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei declined to comment on the timing of the announcement, saying only that it "gives expression to the Chinese government's serious attitude to performing duties according to laws and regulations."
China, wary of undermining its isolated neighbor and creating instability on its northeastern border, has often argued against stricter sanctions on North Korea and has, at times, been accused of not enforcing them enthusiastically enough.
However, Beijing was angered by North Korea's long-range rocket launch last December and its third nuclear test in February, leading it to agree to tightened sanctions in March that also promise further measures in the event of another launch or nuclear test.
Since becoming North Korea's leader in December 2011, Kim Jong Un has repeatedly angered Beijing by refused to heed its prodding to engage in economic reform and return to nuclear talks.
U.S. officials have long pushed for tightened sanctions enforcement, with Secretary of State John Kerry, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy James Miller, and chief North Korea envoy Glyn Davies visiting Beijing on lobbying missions in recent months.
Those efforts have borne some success, with Chinese customs agents tightening inspections on a range of items, including luxury goods that Kim uses to shore up his support from the North Korean elite. In late 2011, Beijing forced the China Construction Bank to close accounts opened by the Korea Kwangson Banking Corp. and the Golden Triangle Bank to comply with previous U.N. sanctions.
China provides North Korea with a crucial economic lifeline, supplying almost all its fuel and more than 83 percent of its imports, from heavy machinery to grain and consumer goods.
Ties between Beijing and Pyongyang had been seen to improve over the summer, but Chinese state media and government-backed scholars again criticized the North over its call last week for new talks without preconditions.
U.S. and other parties to the talks say they're not interested in sitting down with Pyongyang without clear signs it would honor a 2005 pledge to mothball its nuclear programs in return for aid.
Concerns over the North's nuclear program may rise following claims that Pyongyang is mastering domestic production of essential components for the gas centrifuges needed to make uranium-based nuclear bombs.
If Pyongyang can make crucial centrifuge parts at home, outsiders can't track sensitive imports. That could spell the end of policies based on export controls, sanctions and interdiction that have been the centerpiece of international efforts to stop North Korea's nuclear program over the last decade, Joshua Pollack, a Washington-based expert on nuclear proliferation, said in remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday at a Seoul symposium and provided in advance to The Associated Press.
"If they're not importing these goods in the first place, then we can't catch them in the act," said Pollack, who gathered the evidence with Scott Kemp, an expert on centrifuge technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It's not clear whether North Korea has made bomb-grade uranium, and Pyongyang says the program is for peaceful, energy-generating purposes.
Earlier this year, during a barrage of threats aimed at Washington and Seoul, Pyongyang vowed to resume all its nuclear fuel production. Recent satellite imagery appears to show that North Korea was restarting its plutonium reactor.

What is all of the buzz about bees? A lot! Bees are so important for our ecosystem but unfortunately some species are endangered. Kids are usually so curious about bugs, so you have instant engagement when you talk about bees! I like to teach the importance of them, and talk about ways we can help them out. There are so many great bee resources out there for teaching these insects and other pollinators. [ 442 more words ]

The Eagles moved up 11 spots and chose Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham with the 13th pick.
"I didn't know at all – I didn't take a visit there; I just met with them at the combine," said Graham, whom Eagles coach Andy Reid compared to Hugh Douglas and Trent Cole. "I'm just happy they see a lot in me. I see a lot in myself, too, and I'm going to give 'em what they want."
"I don't like to talk about too much, I just want to show it," he added.
The Birds presumably were looking to move up and get a safety, potentially Texas safety Earl Thomas. Instead they opted for an outside pass rusher. Thomas went one pick later to Seattle. Reid said Graham was the only player that the Eagles considered moving up to get.
The Eagles gave up both of their third-round picks along with their first-round pick at No. 24 to move up to No. 13, the spot occupied by Denver. The Broncos had earlier traded back from No. 11 with San Francisco.
"Brandon, we thought was the best defensive lineman out there to help us out," Reid said. The Eagles, Reid said, had targeted Graham and figured they had to trade up into the early teens to get him.
"The thing we liked with Brandon is, he's a relentless player," Reid said. "I think the combination of Brandon and our other defensive linemen, Trent Cole and so on, the addition of (Darryl) Tapp with (Juqua Parker) and (Victor) Abiamiri, that's a great combination of guys right there. We went into this offseason wanting to better ourselves on the defensive line."
The Birds have traded up in the first round for the sixth time in 8 years. The Eagles last picked in their designated spot in 2006 when they selected defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley from Florida State.
Graham, 6-1, 238, played in 46 games at Michigan, starting 28 times – 23 at left defensive end and five at right end. He finished with 138 tackles (85 solos) with 29.5 sacks for minus 219 yards, 56 stops for losses of 282 yards and three pressures. He caused eight fumbles and recovered three others.
He also ranks second in school history with 29.5 sacks, topped by Mark Messner (36.0, 1985-88).
The Eagles have seven remaining draft picks. Rounds 2 and 3 are tomorrow and Rounds 4 through 7 are set for Saturday.
Here is more from Graham during his conference call with reporters:
On how it makes him feel to know how much the Eagles gave up to get him: "It makes me feel real good. I know that I have a lot of responsibility, because if they're going to trade up for me, they're expecting a lot from me. I'm going to give them what they're looking for. I just appreciate the opportunity to be a Philadelphia Eagle."
On whether he has heard comparisons of himself to Hugh Douglas and Trent Cole: "No, I have never [heard that before]. I don't know too much, I've just heard the names. I've looked at the guys like the [Elvis] Dumervils—the guys that are my size—and see what I can take from their games and help my game. For Philadelphia to see that in me, I'm glad it made them make a move to get me, and I appreciate that."
On whether he can contribute right away: "I haven't sat on the bench for so many years, and I'm not trying to start now. I'm trying to come in and get as much done as I can. I'm trying to learn as much as I can, and I'm just going to show it—I don't like to talk about it too much. I know coach wants me out there as much as possible and I'm going try to do that. I want to be a starter."
On the concern about his height as a pass rushing defensive end: "I think after the Senior Bowl, I really didn't hear that too much after that. I had a good Senior Bowl, and I wanted to let them know that it's not about my height. I'm going to play hard until the whistle. I'm a strong guy and I believe I know how to play football, and I'm going to get to the ball. And after they saw me at the Senior Bowl, I don't think that's too much of a question anymore."
On describing himself as a player: "Great pass rusher, disruptive run stopper, a high motor guy—a humble guy. A coachable kid. Somebody who is going to come in and try to learn. I'm just somebody who loves the game of football."
On whether he feels he is going to be a standout player rather than a role player: "I'm going to do whatever the team wants me to do. At the same time I'm going in there with the mentality to try to learn anything I can to get out there on the field the best way I can. If it's starting off special teams, anything, if I got to get out there, I got to get out there. I'm just not used to getting cold on the bench or sitting on the bench. I like to be out there helping my team win."

Conway voters ok school budget, but reject teacher's contractBY SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Union Leader Correspondent
April 10. 2013 10:37PM
CONWAY - Voters approved the town's operating budget of $9,686,674 and the school district's operating budget of $33,137,099 on Tuesday by healthy margins of around 600 votes for each article, but the largest vote spread was garnered by a center that serves the Mount Washington Valley's older population.
It's been a long budget season, and it's not over for the Conway School Board. The 2013-2014 operating budget is up from 20112-2013's $32,543,306, but down from the school board's original recommendation of $33.5 million. That figure was amended downward at the deliberative session, with few objections from the school board, and now the board must find cuts in its budget.
The board has estimated that tuition revenue will go down $633,125 for the next school year, so even without increases in spending, property owners will face higher taxes. The school board has discussed where those further cuts will come from.
Voters also approved a three-year police contract, which did not include any increase in benefits or costs to the town. They turned down a two-year teachers' contract, which would have cost property owners more than $200,000 in each year it was in effect. Voters defeated a special article for $12,000 to continue Tin Mountain Conservation Center programs at the elementary schools.
The Gibson Center for Senior Services request for $35,000 to support its Meals on Wheels, congregate meals, transportation and program services was approved with an 1164 yea, 198 nay vote.
The hotly contested race for the open Conway Public Library Board of Trustee seats went to William Marvel and Mark Hounsell. The two residents, who ran as a team, were the most outspoken in their criticism of the board's attempt to restructure the staff, and repeatedly called for the chair of the seven-member board to step down.
The win was decisive, with Hounsell receiving 626 votes, Marvel 596, and the nearest of the other three candidates, Alexa Kimberly-Bryant, getting 441 votes.
Incumbent Selectman Howard "Crow" Dickinson lost his bid for reelection in a three-way race. Carl Thibodeau is the new Conway selectman. Dickinson, who served Conway for many years as a state legislator, was hospitalized in the summer of 2012 and spent a couple of months recovering before returning to his selectmen duties.
"Turnout was light," Town Clerk Rhoda Quint said Wednesday.
She added that she thought the library trustee and selectmen races would bring out more voters. As of the 2012 general election, Conway had more than 6,267 on its checklist, giving it the largest voting bloc in Carroll County. About 1,400 of those voters showed up Tuesday.
Quint expects recounts for the three-way contest for two school board seats, in which Lynne Bryon received 694 votes and Joe Lentini 701. Assured of a seat is Mark Hounsell, who got 802 votes. She also expects a recount for a budget committee seat, where eight votes separate winner Dick Pollock and Terry McCarthy.
The Conway Police Department's request for $6,000 for equipment to destroy surplus drugs and drug evidence was approved. Not approved was $50,000 for an emergency shelter generator.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The pilot of a small airplane that experienced engine failure and went down Saturday off the Southern California coast near Catalina Island said it never occurred to him that he wouldn't survive the crash.
"I was pretty calm. You look at the situation and you realize this is what we have to deal with. I had a pretty good idea what I needed to do," said David Prizio, 62, of Tustin.
Prizio told The Associated Press that he and his lone passenger were cruising at 6,500 feet on their way to lunch on Catalina when the plane's engine suddenly died.
"I did some pretty quick math and realized I wasn't going to make it to the airport," said Prizio, a retired contractor and a pilot for some 40 years.
Prizio said he decided to try and put the single-engine Texas Sport Cub down near a cluster of pleasure boats about six miles northeast of Catalina.
"I wanted to land in front of them, hoping they would spot us," he said.
The impact shattered the windshield and the rush of water knocked off his glasses. He broke a finger but was otherwise unhurt. His passenger escaped injury.
"We were lucky that the sea was smooth and the plane didn't flip over," Prizio said.
U.S. Coast Guard and lifeguard boats and helicopters were quickly sent to the scene, but a recreational boat reached the pair first.
Drew Naffziger was on his way to Catalina Island with his brother and wife when he spotted the low-flying plane.
"I told my brother 'Hey this plane is pretty low and I don't hear an engine either,'" Naffziger told the Los Angeles Times. "I think it's going to crash."
The plane went into the water about 100 yards from his boat. The plane's wheels hit first, then its nose dipped in, sending its tail straight up in the air before slamming back down, he told the newspaper.
The two men spent only minutes in the water. Naffziger threw them a life preserver and pulled them onto the boat. Naffizger's wife, a nurse, grabbed blankets to keep the two men warm, he said.
A lifeguard craft from the city of Avalon met up with the boat and took the two men aboard.
U.S. Coast Guard Coast Guard spokesman Adam Eggers said the plane sank, leaving a small field of debris on the surface.

We don't miss the old place, really we don't. And (so far at least) we don't miss all the things we got rid of either.
But we are still reeling from the process.
We downsized, you see. Over the summer we went from a spacious three-bedroom house with a finished basement and a two-car garage to a comfortable two-bedroom condo with one parking spot and no outdoor space at all.
It was, for us, the right thing to do. But downsizing, I have learned, is not easy. Several months after the move, we are not yet done.
The biggest challenge is Stuff. With a capital S.
I read somewhere that baby boomers find downsizing difficult because never before has there been a generation with so much Stuff.
I can believe it. Over the 15 years we lived in our house, we filled it to the brim. We "stored" furniture or artwork for friends. We took in the plants of people moving out of town. We inherited things from assorted family members - sometimes even from the families of friends. And, of course, there was our own Stuff, the things we bought or otherwise accumulated. There's no incentive to get rid of Stuff when you have a place to keep it.
Then, virtually on the spur of the moment, we sold our house and bought a new place that was less than half the size. And we were faced with the realization that we had less than two months to get rid of at least half of our Stuff because there was simply no room for it in the new place.
At first it was fun. I gleefully filled garbage bags with things I had kept just because it had been easier to keep them than to throw them out. Like 10-year-old birthday cards, or instruction manuals for appliances that died long ago.
Then it got harder. I'd open up a box and find memorabilia from my childhood, or old magazines, or things with sentimental value. I went through it all, piece by piece, evening after evening. I'd force myself to ask why I was keeping this trophy or that scrapbook.
For the most part, I was ruthless. Most of the memorabilia went. It had to. There was just going to be no room in the new place. My partner and I gave each other permission to keep silly or useless things. But only a few.
Downsizing got harder still when it came to useful things, like garden hoses (no longer needed), books (no room for them all) and several roomfuls of furniture. I wasn't about to just toss perfectly useful things. We made a list of sellable items and organized a virtual garage sale, sending out an email to friends, family and neighbours. This turned out to be quite successful.
Things we couldn't sell, we gave away. Extra clothing went to charity. We donated an estimated 1,500 books to the library. (How did we ever come to own so many books, I wondered?)
The hardest to part with were the things I thought had value. Like my vinyl records. Surely I could get money for them, I thought. But record stores didn't want what I had. And a venture into online sales sites brought no takers. I was about to toss them when I found someone who would give them a home.
Even with all our efforts, I could tell it was not quite enough. As moving day approached, I grew desperate. I'd put things by the side of the road early on garbage day, hoping they'd disappear before the garbage truck got there (they usually did). I pestered friends and acquaintances. I tried selling a few more things online.
I have talked to people who have found the task of purging so daunting they threw up their hands and said, "Oh, just move it all and I'll go through it in the new place."
I was tempted to do it myself. Then I kept thinking of the space we wouldn't have. And I'd go back to my task.
Despite my best efforts, there was still an excess of Stuff come moving day. We are storing a few boxes at a friend's house until we can figure out what to do with them.
And as for the new place, well, let's just say it's already full. Really full.
So now we are doing a second round of downsizing that includes editing our remaining belongings so that the new, smaller space does not seem quite so cramped.
Friends who have downsized have talked about feeling liberated at the end of the process. I just felt tired. Getting rid of Stuff is a lot harder than acquiring it.
"We downsized a year ago and we're still at it!" a new neighbour commented.
I can believe it.
Jill Pollack, host of the HGTV show Consumed, says downsizing can be an emotional experience. Here are her tips for successful downsizing.
- Time: Create a realistic timeline. Don't be too ambitious or too lazy. If you dedicate two or three full weekends to the project, that should take care of most of it.
- Helpers: Get all hands on deck. Have friends and family help out. It can be a fun process if you act as a team.
- Be realistic: Realize you can live with less. There is so much we don't really need.
- Prepare: Be realistic about your new space. Try to measure the areas so you know what furniture will fit.
- Be steady: Purge as you go. Get rid of stuff that is broken (and you don't want to fix), stained, mouldy or out of style.
- Shred, shred, shred: Deal with all of the old paperwork and make a clean start. Most of it will be out of date (except tax and property papers) and so much now is online so we don't need to keep as much paper as we used to. Invest in new filing products.
- Sell off: Consider a tag or estate sale. It's a good way to make some extra cash, especially if you're reluctant to get rid of something because you "paid good money for it." Otherwise donate.
- Resist: Rent a storage unit only as a last resort. People don't really ever go back into their unit and it's a waste of money. Things just rot in there for years.
- Holding on: Be honest about the sentimental stuff. Keep one plastic sealed bin of memorabilia per person - otherwise, pass it on.
- Ask yourself: Which of the items I own now are really important to me? Is it beautiful, useful, or loved? Or am I just keeping it out of habit?

Executive councilor asks AG to investigate alleged police corruption in NashuaBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 31. 2013 2:30PM
Executive Councilor Debora Pignatelli today called on the New Hampshire Attorney General to investigate claims by Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau that she and her husband are the targets of a police department smear campaign.
Pignatelli said she discussed the matter with Attorney General Joe Foster this morning and hopes to get a response from him soon.
"There have been some very serious charges leveled against our police department," said Pignatelli, a Nashua resident. "We have the second largest police force in the state, and the public has a right to know the facts and what is going on."
Earlier this week, Lozeau said Nashua police have re-opened a years-dormant investigation into her husband after she publicly criticized Nashua police unions for failing to negotiate new contracts that included health care concessions.
She said the investigation also appears to include her.
Lozeau is a Republican, Pignatelli is a Democratic executive councilor. Pignatelli said she is totally independent and she just wants the facts to come out.
"My hope is this is all a big mix up, and there's been a misunderstanding at some level," she said.
Pignatelli said she did not approach Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance because the county prosecutors have a close relationship with Nashua police. She said she wants to make sure there is not even the slightest perception of a conflict of interest.
According to previous newspaper reports, Lozeau has said Nashua police began investigating David Lozeau in 2009, based on a complaint from a person who was facing criminal charges. Her husband previously sued the individual, whose name she refused to give.
The unidentified person accused her husband, in his role as a bail commissioner in Nashua, of bid rigging, drug use and misconduct. Lozeau has said the investigation included 11 wiretaps over a two-month period that ended January 2010.
David Lozeau resigned as a bail commissioner earlier this year. At the time, a court spokesperson refused to comment on his departure, citing it as a personnel matter. He has hired a lawyer in light of recent police actions.
Nashua Police Chief John Seusing has denied allegations the investigation is politically motivated.

Hogs: Tuesday afternoon's cash pork trade, closing at $109.88, garnered some discussion Wednesday morning. That was the highest close for cash pork since Aug. 8, 2011. While it was good news for bulls, the trade is pricing in the idea the cash hog market has either peaked or is close to peaking for the year.
Our stance is that the cash hog peak is behind us. Though hog slaughter will continue to fall until the third week of July, the issue now is pork demand. It does not matter how much further production will decline if the market can't move it (grilling demand backs off into July and August). Bids Wednesday morning were steady to $1 lower in most locations. Some could question why cash hogs are not keeping up with cash pork. Keep in mind for several weeks packers were struggling with losses. Keep in mind their summer pork processing losses are both an issue of the hog/pork spread as well as higher fixed costs applied per animal due to fewer hogs showing up at the door. Cash pork is simply getting back in line right now. The question is no longer about how high prices can go but now how quickly they will fall as we begin the process of falling down to winter lows.
In other news later Tuesday afternoon, Mexico suspended imports of live U.S. hogs. They are concerned about the findings of PED in the U.S. herd. This is not a consumer safety issue as PED does not harm humans eating the pork. They are simply trying to protect their own production levels. This will have no effect on U.S. prices. Let's put this into perspective. In 2012 we shipped 26,793 hogs to Mexico (only 134 trucks) and another 4,505 to Canada. Imports of hogs into the U.S. totaled 5.652 million from Canada, 0 from Mexico, and and 30 head between the U.K. and Italy. Those numbers are all listed correctly. If Mexico banned our pork, which they have not, this would be an issue. As it stands, this has no market effect.
Also on the bearish side, so far we have absolutely no indication of "huge" pork sales being made to China. Despite the hype in recent week from rumors, muscle cut export sales to China since the new weekly series began are only 3.8% of our total pork sales. As organ meat is about half our sales, we will point out this data is not complete. However, for what we have facts on, the China pork buying rumors are a bust.
Up ahead we have the Hogs and Pigs report on Friday afternoon. The hog herd is seen 0.5% higher than last year. Farrowing intentions for Mar/May are -0.8% from last year, Jun/Aug unchanged from last year, and Sep/Nov +0.6% from last year. This report should not be a surprise to anyone. We have a few more hogs than last year and will continue light expansion into next year. We feel the lower grain prices we expect over the next six months will encourage a little more expansion than these numbers would suggest but nothing too concerning…Rich Nelson
Cattle: While hog prices are now turning the corner and looking Southward for direction for the next five months or so, the cattle market is doing the opposite. Generally, cash cattle posts a bottom between June and August (10 year average is late July). The trade knows there are just a few weeks left for us to fish around for the year's low in prices.
Futures, however, are fully focused on pricing in the normal rally which occurs from summer to fall/winter. Though this market has gained a little more than we expected by now, we are fully behind the bull stance. While our trading position, long October futures, is still valid, our real interest is actually the December and 2014 contracts. It seems we have continued to readjust our expectations of when the big year of "beef supply deficit" for some time. At best guess, 2014 will be the real deal. So we now get to guess how high prices will go next year, and we have a tremendous buying opportunity as we are at the summer lows from the year before.
In other news, we were pretty darn impressed with Wednesday's futures pricing. This comes especially when you consider Q1 GDP was revised down from a 2.4% increase over last year to now only a 1.8% increase. You can't blame the trade for ignoring this, though. Financial economists feel the poor Q1 was an old issue and that the economy, and consumer demand, is a separate issue now (bullish for beef).
Let's restate USDA's estimate of the coming Q4 beef production again…a 6% drop vs. last year. Last year cash cattle hit $127 in October. Futures are pricing in the same price as last year. Do you see something mispriced here? We sure do. Buy December fats for the long haul…Rich Nelson

John Locke
§ 6. Lockes Doctrine of Knowledge.
Locke wishes to avoid any presupposition about matter, or mind, or their relation. It is not difficult to see that the notions which he has expelled often re-enter unbidden. But the peculiar value of his psychology consists in his attempt to keep clear of them. He begins neither with mind nor with matter, but with ideas. Their existence needs no proof: everyone is conscious of them in himself, and mens words and actions will satisfy him that they are in others. His first enquiry is how they come into the mind; his next business is to show that they constitute the whole material of our knowledge. In his answer to the former question we discover the influence of traditional philosophy, or, rather, of ordinary common-sense views of existence, upon his thought. All our ideas, he says, come from experience. The mind has no innate ideas, but it has innate faculties: it perceives, remembers, and combines the ideas that come to it from without; it also desires, wills, and deliberates; and these mental activities are themselves the source of a new class of ideas. Experience is, therefore, two-fold. Our observation may be employed either about external sensible objects, or about the internal operations of our minds. The former is the source of most of the ideas which we have, and, as it depends wholly upon our senses, is called sensation. The latter is a source of ideas which every man has wholly in himself, and it might be called
sense; to it he gives the name reflection.
Hence, the peculiarity of Lockes position. There are no innate ideas stamped upon the mind from birth; and yet impressions of sense are not the only source of knowledge: the mind, he says, furnishes the understanding with ideas. No distinction is implied here between mind and understanding, so that the sentence might run, the mind furnishes itself with ideas. As to what these ideas are, we are not left in doubt: they are ideas of its own operations. When the mind acts, it has an idea of its action, that is, it is self-conscious. Reflection, therefore, means self-consciousness, and, as such, is assumed to be an original source of our knowledge. Afterwards both Hume and Condillac refused to admit reflection as an original source of ideas, and both, accordingly, found that they had to face the problem of tracing the growth of self-consciousness out of a succession of sensations. According to Locke, reflection is an original, rather than an independent, source of ideas. Without sensation, mind would have nothing to operate upon, and, therefore, could have no ideas of its operations. It is when he first has any sensation that a man begins to have any ideas.
The operations of the mind are not themselves produced by sensation, but sensation is required to give the mind material for working on.
The ideas which sensation gives enter by the senses simple and unmixed;
they stand in need of the activity of mind to bind them into the complex unities required for knowledge. The complex ideas of substances, modes and relations are all the product of the combining and abstracting activity of mind operating upon simple ideas, which have been given, without any connection, by sensation or reflection. Lockes doctrine of knowledge has thus two sides. On the one side, all the material of knowledge is traced to the simple idea. On the other side, the processes which transform this crude material into knowledge are activities of mind which themselves cannot be reduced to ideas. Lockes metaphors of the
tabula rasa,
white paper,
and dark room misled his critics and suggested to some of his followers a theory very different from his own. The metaphors only illustrate what he had in hand at the moment. Without experience, no characters are written on the tablets of the mind; except through the windows of sensation and reflection, no light enters the understanding. No ideas are innate; and there is no source of new simple ideas other than those two. But knowledge involves relations, and relations are the work of the mind; it requires complex ideas, and complex ideas are mental formations. Simple ideas do not, of themselves, enter into relation and form complex ideas. Locke does not, like Hobbes before him and Hume and Condillac after him, look to some unexplained natural attraction of idea for idea as bringing about these formations. Indeed, his treatment of the association of ideas is an afterthought, and did not appear in the earlier editions of the
Starting from the simple ideas which we get from sensation, or from observing mental operations as they take place, Locke has two things to explain: the universal element, that is, the general conceptions with which knowledge is concerned or which it implies, and the reference to reality which it claims. With the former problem Locke deals at great length; and the general method of his exposition is clear enough. Complex ideas arise from simple ideas by the processes of combination and abstraction carried out by the mind. It would be unfair to expect completeness from his enterprise; but it cannot be denied that his intricate and subtle discussions left many problems unsolved. Indeed, this is one of his great merits. He raised questions in such a way as to provoke further enquiry. Principles such as the causal relation, apart from which knowledge would be impossible, are quietly taken for granted, often without any enquiry into the grounds for assuming them. Further, the difficulty of accounting for universals is unduly simplified by describing certain products as simple ideas, although thought has obviously been at work upon them. At the outset of his enquiry, simple ideas are exemplified by yellow, white, heat, cold, soft, hard, and so forth; but, towards the close of the second book, a very different list is given, which includes space, time, solidity, motion, power. Having arrived at this latter point, he seems to forget his view that all knowledge begins with the particular, with something simple and unmixed. Indeed, his whole doctrine of modes may be said to be based on oblivion of the fact that a simple idea must be really simple. Instead of showing how the idea of space is built up out of many particular sensations (or simple ideas) of particular spaces, he regards particular spaces as modes of the simple idea space; instead of showing how the idea of time is evolved from our experience of particular durations, he calls the latter modes of the simple idea time; and so on. Unwittingly, he generalises the particular. He professes to begin with the mere particulars of external or internal sense, and to show how knowledgewhich is necessarily generalis evolved from them. But, instead of doing so, he assumes a general or universal element as already given in the simple idea, and then treats the particular experience as one of its modes.
Having gone so far, he might almost have been expected to take a further step and treat the perceptions of particular things as modes of the simple idea substance. But this he does not do. Substance is an idea regarding which he was in earnest with his own fundamental theory; and the difficulties in which his theory involved him on this head were both provocative of criticism and fruitful for the progress of thought. He admits that substance is a complex idea; that is to say, it is formed by the minds action out of simple ideas. Now, this idea of substance marks the difference between having sensations and perceiving things. Its importance, therefore, is clear; but there is no clearness in explaining it. We are told that there is a supposed or confused idea of substance to which are joined (say) the simple idea of a dull whitish colour, with certain degrees of weight, hardness, ductility and fusibility, and, as a result, we have the idea of
A difficulty might have been avoided if substance could have been interpreted as simply the combination by the understanding of white, hard, etc., or some similar cluster of ideas of sensation. But it was not Lockes way thus to ignore facts. He sees that something more is needed than these ideas of sensation. They are only
joined to
the supposed or confused idea of substance, which is there and always the first and chief. He holds to it that the idea is a complex idea and so made by the mind; but he is entirely at a loss to account for the materials out of which it is made. We cannot imagine how simple ideas can subsist by themselves, and so we accustom ourselves to suppose some substratum wherein they do subsist, and this we call substance. In one place, he even vacillates between the assertions that we have no clear idea of substance and that we have no idea of it at all. It is a supposition of he knows not what. This uncertainty, as will appear presently, throws its shadow over our whole knowledge of nature.
The new way of ideas is thus hard put to it in accounting for the universal element in knowledge; it has even greater difficulties to face in defending the reality of knowledge. And, in the latter case, the author does not see the difficulties so clearly. His view is that the simple idea is the test and standard of reality. Whatever the mind contributes to our ideas removes them further from the reality of things; in becoming general, knowledge loses touch with things. But not all simple ideas carry with them the same significance for reality. Colours, smells, tastes, sounds, and the like are simple ideas, yet nothing resembles them in the bodies themselves; but, owing to a certain bulk, figure and motion of their insensible parts, bodies have a power to produce those sensations in us. These, therefore, are called secondary qualities of bodies. On the other hand, solidity, extension, figure, motion or rest, and number are also held by Locke to be simple ideas; and these are resemblances of qualities in body; their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves, and, accordingly, are primary qualities of bodies.
In this way, by implication if not expressly, Locke severs, instead of establishing, the connection between simple ideas and reality. The only ideas which can make good their claim to be regarded as simple ideas have nothing resembling them in things. Other ideas, no doubt, are said to resemble bodily qualities (an assertion for which no proof is given and none is possible); but these ideas have only a doubtful claim to rank as simple ideas. Lockes prevailing tendency is to identify reality with the simple idea, but he sometimes comes within an ace of the opposite view that the reference to reality is the work of thought.
