Susan Sparks: Wisdom from the Kmart
When I want to lift myself out of the dumps, I go to the Astor Place Kmart in the East Village of New York City. Sure, I could default to other solutions, like walking around Central Park, watching a rerun of "Chopped," or, on a really bad day, breaking out the French onion soup packet, sour cream and Ruffles.
But my first choice is the Kmart.
Specifically, I favor an area in the far back corner of the Kmart basement. It is devoid of windows or natural light and has a back wall of clear glass that faces the dark, dungeon-like tunnel of the Number 6 subway train. There, you will find the most unexpected of things - a plant nursery.
Sprouting in this dreary prison are woven ficus trees, begonias, African violets, scheffleras, Christmas cacti and spindly spider plants. I feel so sorry for those little plants. They struggle to grow in their stale, lifeless chamber. And if the fake light isn't bad enough, every five minutes the train roars by, shaking them to the base of their wee roots.
That's why every once in a while, I head to the Kmart to stage a prison break for a few lucky leafy inmates, so that they might recover in my home (or given my gardening abilities - die in peace).
But at least they have a chance. And that's all we as humans want, too.
Our environment is not so different from that of the plants in the basement of the Kmart. We live surrounded by toxicity, in places where we are often denied light, love and sustenance, places where we can be shaken to our roots by unforeseen circumstances.
Although we sometimes give up in the face of such obstacles, those wee plants continue to fight, to use whatever they have to stay alive, and to stretch their roots and strain their stems to convert even the tiniest bit of artificial light into energy and life.
One of the reasons I love rescuing them is the tiny plastic tab that peeks out of each plant's pot. On it is an image of what that plant could grow into if it receives proper light and care, an image of its true potential.
We all have that same divine potential - that metaphorical plastic tab with our best self embossed on it. And sometimes we need a reminder of what that looks like so we don't lose our way, something that's all too easy to do in this world.
Our true potential has nothing to do with what anyone else's "plant tab" looks like. Consider the marigolds in the Kmart. They don't try to grow into another kind of flower, like a rose. They don't question whether they deserve love or whether they are valued or paid enough. Their only quest is to grow into that one unique image appearing on their little plastic tab, to evolve into their divine potential.
The next time you are feeling low, consider a little wisdom from the basement of the Astor Place Kmart. Find a place in your community where you can rescue an imprisoned plant. Or better yet, rescue another person who finds him or herself trapped in a toxic place with little light or love. Maybe you reach out to a friend in need. Or perhaps, you volunteer at a homeless shelter or nursing home. Or maybe you write a letter to our troops, veterans and first responders through organizations such as Operation Gratitude. Reaching out to others can do wonders to help them - and you - grow.
The Benedictine nun Joan Chittister once said that we have to the potential to be the human beat of the heart of God. Don't waste that gift. Don't give up the fight just because you find yourself in an unhealthy, unsupportive place. Each one of us has a divine potential. We just need to stretch our mind, body and soul towards its light.

The Navajo Nation Zoo and Botanical Park is the only Native American Zoo in the U.S. We are a Navajo Nation Government Program within the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and have six very dedicated full-time staff. Our Mission Statement is available for your viewing. The Zoo has been in existence since the early 1960s, and located within Tse Bonito Tribal Park since 1977. You can read about our History and the history of the Zoo Logos.
The Navajo Zoo has over 100 animals of 50 different species. Nearly all of our resident animals are NATIVE to the Navajo Nation. And most of our animals were found injured or orphaned on the Navajo Nation or Southwest US. Since these animals are unable to live in the wild, they are housed here and provided daily professional care.
The Navajo Zoo provides an excellent opportunity for visitors to learn about, and make a connection with, the native animals of NavajoLands. The Zoo is set among the natural sandstone terrain of Window Rock, and provides a quiet atmosphere for our 50,000 annual visitors to relax and enjoy.
The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American reservation in the U.S., covering 27,000 sq.mi. in parts of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Across this vast landscape you will find stunning redrock cliffs, canyons,and buttes, high mountain forests, and low 'badland' deserts. This diverse landscape makes for a great diversity in plants and animals as well.
When visiting NavajoLands, stop by and visit the Zoo. We are open to visitors from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday….and most major holidays.

From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now. -Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez
Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1518, Connor Macleod is immortal. When he is wounded in battle but does not die, he is banished from his village. He meets another like himself, Ramirez, who teaches him swordsmanship--the only way to kill another immortal is to take his head--and the ways of the immortals. Modern-day New York is the location of "The Gathering," where Connor and the few remaining immortals must battle to the last for "The Prize."
Click here to watch the trailer:
-He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.
-There can be only one.
-Don't lose your head
Fun Trivia:
Mickey Rourke was considered for the role of Connor Macleod.
Christopher Lambert spent time with a dialogue coach, developing an accent which sounded non-specifically foreign. oh so that explains it. Lambert had just barely learned to speak English when he took this role. The only other English-speaking film he had been in at that point was Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, in which he spoke only a few words.
Clancy Brown nearly turned down the role of Kurgan, concerned that his allergy to makeup would prevent him from wearing the prosthetics required late in the film.
The brandy scene with Macleod and Brenda was inspired by Russell Mulcahy's dinner with Jim Steinman who, as a wine bottle from 1949 was being opened, sniffed the air between the cork and the bottle and told Mulcahy that he just sniffed air from 1949.
Among the many ancient artifacts in MacLeod's storeroom is Ramirez's vest and hat.
The priest in the church scene was actually an orthodox rabbi.
The castle they used for the shoot is the same castle they used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Lambert and co-star Beatie Edney who played Heather had an affair while making the film. Can you blame him? She's quite lovely!
In the scenes following Connor taking the Kurgan's head, director Russell Mulcahy had originally envisioned an animated dragon with the Kurgan's skull battle helmet emerging from the Kurgan's decapitated body and challenging Connor again. Only after Connor had defeated this Ghost-Dragon would he have received the final quickening and subsequent Prize. This idea was eventually cut due to budget restraints.
All of Sean Connery's scenes had to be filmed in a week due to Connery's schedule.
Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert got along so well during filming that they called each other by their characters' names even when they were not filming and it was at Lambert's insistence that Connery and his character returned for the sequel.
The quickening is a term for when a baby in the womb shows its first sign of life, its first noticeable movement within the womb.
Fun Quotes:
Connor MacLeod: Tell me how'd it happen for God's sake.
Ramirez: Why does the sun come up? Or are the stars just pin holes in the curtain of night, who knows? What I do know is that because you were born different, men will fear you... try to drive you away like the people of your village. You must learn to conceal your special gift and harness it until the time of the gathering.
Connor MacLeod: What gathering?
Ramirez: When only a few of us are left, we will feel an irresistible pull towards a far away land... to fight for the prize.
Connor MacLeod: I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.
Ramirez: If your head comes away from your neck, it's over!
Kurgan: Tonight you sleep in hell.
Connor MacLeod: I apologize for calling your wife a bloated warthog, and I bid you good day.
This is the real thing. Ignore anything Highlander that was made after this movie because it's pretty much crap.

NEW DELHI (AP) — A man in western India fatally stabbed 14 members of his family, including seven children, early Sunday before hanging himself, police said.
Hasnain Warekar, 35, went on his overnight killing spree following a Saturday evening family gathering at his home, said Gajanan Laxman Kabdule, a spokesman for the police in the city of Thane, near Mumbai. He said a motive was not known.
Warekar's extended family — three sisters, their children and his parents — were among those who apparently had gotten together for dinner, Kabdule said. Warekar's wife and two young daughters were also in the house and were among those killed.
The only survivor of the attack was a sister who was wounded, the officer said, adding that she was in a hospital and in "a state of shock."
Kabdule said that it appeared that Warekar began his stabbing spree between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., after everyone had gone to bed.
The victims' bodies were discovered early Sunday morning.
Kabdule said the reason for the killings was not immediately clear. The Press Trust of India news agency reported that a family dispute over property was behind the attacks.
The bodies were sent to a Thane hospital for autopsies.

30/05/2013 - OECD governments have committed to stepping up their efforts to tackle high youth unemployment and strengthen their education systems to better prepare young people for the world of work.
Endorsing the OECD's Action Plan for Youth at the Organisation's annual Ministerial Meeting in Paris, ministers underlined the need to focus attention on the most disadvantaged youth, including the low-skilled and immigrants, who are at most risk of long-term unemployment and social exclusion.
"Immediate action is needed to stop the crisis further damaging young people's prospects," said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría at the OECD Ministerial Meeting in Paris. "This commitment by OECD countries is encouraging. Governments must strengthen their efforts to promote the creation of jobs for youth, push ahead with their labour market reforms, and improve their education systems to give young people the opportunities they need to succeed."
The number of young people out of work in the OECD area is nearly a third higher than in 2007 and set to rise still further in most of the countries with already very high unemployment in the months ahead. Youth unemployment rates exceeded 25% in nine OECD countries at the end of the first quarter of 2013, including Ireland, Italy, Portgual, Spain and Greece. Download the latest data.
Long-term unemployment among youth has increased dramatically since 2007, with more than one in five young people aged 15-24 out of work for more than 12 months. Even countries that have escaped the worst of the crisis, such as Australia, New Zealand and Sweden, have seen a significant rise in long-term joblessness.
These figures do not capture the full hardship of youth, as many who have left education no longer appear in official unemployment statistics. Around 22 million young people are NEETs: not in employment, education or training. Two-thirds of them have given up looking for work and are likely to experience long periods of joblessness and lower pay than their peers over the course of their lives.
In the short-term, in addition to tackling weak growth and boosting job creation, countries should provide income support for the unemployed youth. This will help youth, especially the disadvantaged who leave school early with few or no qualifications, stay in touch with the labour market. In exchange, they must engage in active job search and participate training programmes if needed.
To improve their long-term job prospects, reforms to education and training systems are essential. One in five young people leave school without the skills they need in today's job market – reducing school dropout rates, eliminating grade repetition and measures to give youth a second chance would help. The quality and relevance of vocational training programmes also need to be improved to better prepare young people for today's and tomorrow's jobs.
Countries will commit to the key elements of the OECD Action Plan for Youth and to taking on strengthening effective measures to improve youth outcomes. The OECD will work with countries to help their implementation of the Plan and will report on progress at the Ministerial Meeting in 2014.
For comment or more information, journalists should contact Stefano Scarpetta, OECD Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (tel. + 33 1 45 24 19 88) or Andreas Schleicher, OECD Deputy Director of Education (tel. + 33 1 45 24 93 66) or Spencer Wilson of the OECD's Media division.

In the opening shot of "Mad Men" last season, Don Draper sat broiling on a beach in Hawaii while reading John Ciardi's translation of Dante's "Inferno." Turns out the "Mad Men" props guy needed to stick a book in actor Jon Hamm's hands, so he'd grabbed his English major son's copy of "The Inferno" before leaving the house that morning.
No, of course not.
These days, everything that's visible on a TV series — particularly a book — is there deliberately, positioned on a side table or in a bookshelf with allusive intent. Every author and title mentioned, every binding shown, has been chosen for effect. We live in a time when frames from an episode can be detached, examined, GIFed, spun into viral eternity, a time when corporations are paying money to have their brand of pregnancy test piled up in Carrie Mathison's bathroom drawer on "Homeland"; nothing on screen is random anymore.
That "Inferno" paperback was a not-so-subtle nod to Don's discontent, as well as to his love affair with Sylvia, as his life advances from one circle of hell to the next. Even sitting in the sun with his wife, he is, as Dante wrote, "alone in a dark wood." (And by the way, the Italian name Sylvia means goddess of the forest; don't think for a minute that Matthew Weiner didn't know that.) Many of the other significant "Mad Men" books have added insight to the show's cultural moment — Frank O'Hara's "Meditations in an Emergency," for example, and "Valley of the Dolls" by Jacqueline Susann — but "Inferno" was an open window onto character and a clue about story line.
People who read books do, after all, watch TV. And vice versa. Shocking, I know. There was a time when no self-respecting book person would admit to aiming a clicker unless it was at PBS, but those days are long gone, buried in the wake of intelligent TV shows from ambitious writer-producers such as David Chase, Alan Ball, David E. Kelley, and Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. The old walls between what were thought of as "high" and "low" culture have become increasingly permeable, and there are regular exchanges between the two. And those exchanges feel natural, especially since many of us are often reading books and watching TV on the very same screens. Check out "Archer," a pointedly silly animated spy comedy that name checks Chekhov, Byron, Orwell, and Melville.
There are, of course, TV shows adapted from literature, from Fox's supernatural hit "Sleepy Hollow" to "Game of Thrones" and "True Blood." "Dexter," "Friday Night Lights," "Sex and the City" — these shows are all rooted in bestsellers, nurtured with synergy, and raised into series. But they're not necessarily crammed with book references to ponder, Easter eggs for vigilant viewers to pursue further.
Not surprisingly, the shows that are driven primarily by their writers tend to be more book-obsessed: "Breaking Bad," for example, with its meth cooker obsessed with Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" and its allusions to Shelley's "Ozymandias," a poem that reflects Walter White with its themes of transient power. All of Aaron Sorkin's shows, with their impossibly intelligent characters, are flashy with literary citations, as quotes from Graham Greene and James Joyce and Rudyard Kipling wend in and out of conversations like chat about the weather. "Don Quixote" made an in-your-face appearance on "The Newsroom," the Sorkin show whose self-important journalists see themselves as tilting at windmills.
The most bookish of TV shows ever made, though, may well be "Lost." It was a bottomless well of cultural references, with characters named after Jane Austen and "Little Dorrit" and images of characters reading Flannery O'Connor's "Everything That Rises Must Converge" and Richard Adams's "Watership Down." The writers were dropping the names of these books and authors as clues to the show's great mystery, as possible pieces in the "Lost" puzzle. Viewers were encouraged to analyze the references for clues to the endgame.
Only "The Simpsons" may exceed "Lost" in its constant flow of literary mentions, from David Foster Wallace ("A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again") and Edgar Allen Poe to Jonathan Franzen and Thomas Pynchon. This sign for the "Wordloaf Literary Conference" in a 2011 episode was a hoot for those who've followed Philip Roth's career: "Warning: Philip Roth May Be Moody."
"Orange Is the New Black" has become the latest fun stop for book lovers. It has even inspired a Tumblr site "Books of Orange Is the New Black," which details all the literary references on the Netflix series about women in prison. The heroine, Piper, is a reader who, in trying to look at the upside of her imprisonment, declares, "I'm gonna read everything on my Amazon wish list."
In the show's Litchfield Prison, the inmates look to reading as a means of escape, and the titles we see, like the characters, represent a wide range of types. A security guard is reading Stephen King, while prison library worker Taystee is protective of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" but not a fan of Joyce's "Ulysses." "No one wants to go through all that rambling," she concludes.
Piper is the prison book nerd, with "Pride and Prejudice" in her cell and Pablo Neruda on the tip of her tongue. Her persnickety attempt to clarify the meaning of Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" is comic — so is her short review of "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn: "It was almost good." For forensic investigators of books on TV, that line says a lot about Piper, and maybe about "Gone Girl" too.

Lamictal is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant.
Lamictal is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. It is also used to delay mood episodes in adults with bipolar disorder.
Lamictal may cause severe or life-threatening skin rash, especially in children and in people who are allergic to other seizure medications. Serious skin rash may also be more likely to occur if you are taking Lamictal together with valproic acid (Depakene) or divalproex (Depakote). Seek emergency medical attention if you have a fever, sore throat, swollen glands, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash.
If you have to stop taking Lamictal because of a serious skin rash, you may not be able to take it again in the future.

I gave this talk in my ward today.
As a man tasked with speaking on Mother's Day, I feel that my job is to "look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen,"[1] in the sense that I have to testify of things that I have grown up not knowing how to see, but which I believe are true. So, I begin in gratitude for the women in my life who have taught me to see, although for my part it is still through a glass, darkly.
In the first creation account in Genesis we read: "So God created humankind in his image, / in the image of God he created them; / male and female he created them."[2] One question that this passage immediately raises is what it means for women to be created in the image of an apparently male God. On Mother's Day, this question seems worth pondering. Can we think Lorenzo Snow's couplet—"As man now is, God once was; / As God now is, man may become"—beyond the ostensibly universally-human "man" and toward something specifically feminine? In Mormon terms, if we cannot imagine exalted womanhood, I do not think that we can imagine women fully human. I have friends—faithful churchgoers 51 weeks out of the year—who stay home on Mother's Day because they see the version of motherhood presented in our discourse as too cramped and narrow for their experience. Perhaps there are women in our own ward who make a similar choice (if you know one, go knock on her door and give her a hug, or a fist bump, or whatever seems right). Our talk of "angel mothers" seems exalted, but is it really "image of God" material? My friends' experience suggests not.
Why does this matter? When asked about the greatest commandment in the law, Jesus answered: "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbour as yourself.'"[3] If we collectively do not know what it means for women to be created in the image of God, can any of us—female or male—truly see the image of God in ourselves, enough to love ourselves as we ought? Are we then loving our neighbors in impoverished ways? Is our love of God, however ample it may be, only half of what it could be?

The original workflow I had when working with P2 was pretty slick. Shoot to P2, offload onto a Powerbook with a PCMCIA slot (or now to a MacBook Pro with the Duel Systems Adapter), erase the card (or simply trash the contents on the card), and return it to the field. They'd put it back into the camera and recording would continue.
I was quite surprised to find that workflow was no longer possible. I got my hands onto an HVX-200 camera so that I could do P2 demos at MacWorld. I went out to shoot footage and when I tried to apply this workflow, I found that I couldn't trash the contents. They were locked and I could not unlock them. READ ONLY. And if I reformatted the card as MS-DOS (FAT-32) then put the card back into the camera, it was an unrecognized format. I HAD to reformat the card in the camera. That was the only solution. Oh, I could open the LOG AND TRANSFER interface in Final Cut Pro and delete the files in there. But that is slow and not too slick. And while the P2 Viewer that Panasonic makes can reformat the card…it is PC only. So us Mac guys, a HUGE part of the HVX-200 and P2 market, were left in the cold.
Until now it seems.
This post at DVXUser announced that Able Cine in Los Angeles has posted a P2 format utility for the Mac (that's a lotta links for one sentence).
Oh, wait…BUMMER! I JUST returned the camera and P2 cards today…so I cannot test this! GAH! I downloaded the application and installed it, but I have to wait until someone confirms this. Then when I get my hands on another camera I can get back to my original workflow.
OK…flying back in the AM. Gotta get some zzzz's.

Love story: Will join Cavs, sign long-term
Kevin Love's summer of uncertainty is about to reach a joyful conclusion in which he joins LeBron James in Cleveland and signs a five-year, $120 million contract.
Kevin Love's summer of uncertainty is about to reach a joyful conclusion in which he joins LeBron James in Cleveland and signs a five-year, $120 million contract.
According to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, the long-discussed trade to send Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves for a package of young players is agreed upon and will be finalized Aug. 23, the earliest allowable date under NBA rules for trading recently signed draft picks.
In return for the All-Star power forward, Minnesota will receive a first-round draft pick and the past two No. 1 overall selections in the NBA draft: Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett.
Love, 25, averaged 19 points and 12.2 rebounds with the Timberwolves but never made the playoffs. In the final year of his rookie contract, Love planned to test the free agent market in July 2015 if he wasn't traded by the Timberwolves, who took the opportunity to get a young potential star in return rather than lose him on the open market.
According to Yahoo, the Cavaliers could not have created ample salary cap space to sign Love in free agency and fretted he would land with the Chicago Bulls, who also made a significant trade offer.
Love, James and point guard Kyrie Irving re-establish a "Big Three" for the rest of the Eastern Conference to contend with, and threatens to shift the balance of power from Miami to Cleveland. James took the Heat to four consecutive NBA Finals appearances before returning to the Cavaliers on a two-year deal in July. James can opt out of his contract after the 2014-15 season.
Love and Irving, 22, will each be signed through the 2018-19 season, a significant coup for first-year general manager David Griffin.
The structure of James' contract, which includes a player option for next season, might create some uneasiness for the franchise.
But even without James, the young tandem of Irving and Love could make the Cavaliers playoff contenders.
Cleveland dealt a 2015 first-round pick to the Timberwolves, but the Cavaliers are still in position to get younger next summer with two more first-round picks at their disposal.

(visited by Joerg Wagner and Violetta Steger)
10-Feb-2002 -- After this great success discovering 34°S 22°E we just could not wait to do the next Confluence. Since we headed back to Capetown, after our trip down to the Garden Route, we drove the N2 in westerly direction for at least 3 hours. After passing Swellendam it was only 37 km on the N2 to Stormsvlei where we left the motorway and turned to the right following a small paved road for another 10 km.
From there we had to take a dirt road. It lead us through a picturesque landscape: hills and pastureland and after some more km we found ourselves right in the middle of a wine growing area! The valley gave us the impression to be very fruitful. Since it was Sunday the people who usually work on the vines were sitting in front of their little houses, singing and chatting. They did not seem to be very surprised when we stopped our car next to their little flower garden and asked them whether they would allow us to cross "their" piece of land.
At this point the Confluence was only 200 m away. After crossing these two gardens we went uphill. The ground was stony, only a few bushes here and there. When we reached the Confluence, only a few minutes later, we had a wonderful view over this small valley with green vines at ground level and red hills all around. After taking the obligatory photos we walked back to the car and drove to Capetown.

Kentucky AD says consequences to come for fan caught on video using racial slur
LEXINGTON, Ky. - A Kentucky fan who was recorded yelling a racial slur at a Tennessee fan in the waning minutes of the Wildcats' Tuesday loss to the Volunteers will face consequences from the university.
"An incident like the one that took place last night at Rupp Arena has no place at the University of Kentucky," UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart tweeted Wednesday night. "There will be consequences for this unacceptable behavior and they will be announced once communicated to the offending party.
"While the person in question is not a season ticket holder, there are still ways to ensure those actions are not repeated at future UK events. We also have reached out to the patron who was the victim of this abusive and inexcusable language to apologize personally. That's not who we are as an athletics department."
Ethan Williams, a Tennessee fan, posted a video to Twitter after the game showing a Kentucky fan yelling a racial slur at him as she left the Rupp Arena stands.
A woman identifying herself as Ashley Lyles to Lexington television station WLEX issued an apology for her comments.
Follow the madness: Latest Men's NCAA Tournament College Basketball Scores and Schedules
"My reaction after the game was unacceptable, period," she told the television station. "It was against all values of the university and state of Kentucky. I humbly apologize to the individuals at which my words were directed. My words were hurtful and hateful and have no place in this world. I apologize to the university and state of Kentucky for the embarrassment I have caused. I want my apology not just to be in words, but in actions moving forward."
Williams' video had been retweeted more than 500 times as of Wednesday evening.
Lyles is the founder of Sparkle Bright, a nonprofit created to support brain cancer patients. According to the organization's website, she started Sparkle Bright after surviving an aggressive form of brain cancer.
According to a 2017 story from Kentucky Sports Radio, Lyles became a well-known figure among Kentucky fans during her treatments at events like the John Calipari Fantasy Camp and UK basketball women's clinic. The Sparkle Bright website includes a photograph of her with former Kentucky players De'Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Isaiah Briscoe.

Arch Linux/Arch Haskell Group Maintainership
The Arch Haskell group maintains AUR packages for Haskell. The Arch Haskell packages make up around 10% of total AUR packages (~2000 packages).
To make the task of implementing the Arch Haskell policy of tracking AUR feasible, we take two approaches:
- massive automation of Hackage to AUR regular conversion, via cabal2arch and the archlinux utilities library
- group participation in updating packages.
The first step ensures a consistent user experience:
- cabal2arch should be used to generate all Haskell AUR packages,
- which ensures all naming conventions and other policies are followed,
The second point ensures the Arch Haskell project isn't vulernable to "bus errors" where a user burns out.
The job of an Arch Haskell group maintainer
The concern of an Arch Haskell maintainer is as follows.
- Ensure AUR tracks Hackage versions of packages.
To do this, the following work is done:
- Watch the Hackage RSS feed
- When new packages appear, attempt to build and upload them, with the "build" script (below).
Community resources
Besides getting Hackage code packaged natively, another job is to communicate status and progress to the broader Arch Linux community. We maintain several channels:
- A blog for high profile news and announcements. Repost to the /r/archlinux reddit
- A twitter account that follows the RSS feed
- The mailing list.
- arch-haskell@freenode
- The IRC channel
- The "arch-haskell" user on AUR.
- The common owner of all group packages.
- The "arch" project on code.haskell.org: storage space.
The "build" script
The "build" script is a shell program that wraps cabal2arch. You should always have the latest version of cabal2arch installed. The set of tools you need to run this script are:
- The haskell-archlinux package. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/archlinux
- This package provides core support for working with cabal and PKGBUILD files, and querying AUR.
- Darcs repository
- cabal2arch: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal2arch
- The tool converts cabal files to PKGBUILD packages. It is the main tool for Arch maintainers.
- Darcs repository
- aurploader: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23393
- a tool to help upload packages automatically.
- Updates RSS files from the command line.
- get-aur-url: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/archlinux
- A small script that computes URLs of AUR packages.
- update-aur-log: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/archlinux
- A small script that records build status.
- makepkg/pacman/bauerbill
- Standard package tools.
# # Given a hackage .cabal url, build and upload a Arch Linux package # Update build reports and package publication feed. #
cd /tmp/ set -e
# generate package project=`cabal2arch $* 2>&1 | tail -1 | sed 's/Created *//' | xargs basename | sed 's/\..*$//'` echo $project cd $project
pkg=`sed -n '/pkgname/{s/pkgname=//;p;q}' PKGBUILD`
# build package if makepkg -f ; then # update build report echo "$pkg True" >> $HOME/.build-all.log else exit 1 fi
cd ..
# upload package echo "Uploading $project.tar.gz" aurploader -k $project.tar.gz
# emit build status information # update-aur-log reads the .cabal2arch.log to pass data to feed-cli tail -1 ~/.cabal2arch.log | update-aur-log
# now update the publications list . needs get-arch-url cp $HOME/aur.xml /tmp/ url=`$HOME/bin/get-arch-url $project || cat /tmp/link` echo $url feed-cli new-item -t`cat /tmp/title` --description-file=/tmp/desc -u/tmp/aur.xml -l"$url" rm /tmp/link rm /tmp/title rm /tmp/desc echo scp /tmp/aur.xml code.haskell.org:/srv/code/arch/ cp /tmp/aur.xml $HOME
Uploading a package: an example
1. See a new package on the Hackage feed. 2. Visit the Hackage page for the package. 3. Copy the URL of the .cabal file
e.g. "http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/http-enumerator/0.0.1/http-enumerator.cabal"
4. Run the build tool
$ build-package.sh http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/http-enumerator/0.0.1/http-enumerator.cabal
5. If dependent packages are missing, install them (e.g. with bauerbill) (see the "get" script) (or recursively create new packages for any that are missing in AUR). 6. The script updates the RSS feed. Copy that to the server occasionally. 7. Once a day run the distro-map tool, to regenerate the reverse Hackage index. 8. Once a day run the status script, and copy the generated html table to the server.
Package Quality Assurance
One script generates this table from build success logs:
The Blog
High profile news and important packages are announced on archhaskell.wordpress.com. Consider writing articles for the blog.
Package Publication and Notification
The "build-script" tool updates the RSS feed, so that packages are publicized. The RSS feed is slurped by Twitter.
Mapping to Hackage
The "distro-map" script (part of the archlinux package) updates the package mapping table between Hackage and Arch, which Hackage uses to generate direct links to distro packages.
This file is stored on code.haskell.org server:
Maintaining cabal2arch
- Some notable Haskell programs (such as yi) ship a library. cabal2arch will by default call it "haskell-yi", which isn't desirable for high profile applications that incidentally ship a library. cabal2arch has a list of exceptions to this rule. If you find a package needing such an exception, edit the `shouldNotBeLibraries` list in Main.hs
- Many C libraries are listed in .cabal files by different names to the Arch Linux packages. For example, "webkit" in a .cabal file is actually "libwebkit" under pacman. Cabal2arch has a list of such associations, that ensures the right C libraries are installed with the Haskell code. Keeping this list of associations up to date is a key advantage of cabal2arch over cabal-install. Edi t the ` translationTable` list in Main.hs as part of cabal2arch.

I've never seen so many people make so little noise. For an hour, after Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout to win UEFA's Champions League, a silent throng of 40,000 red-shirted fans stumbled past me, faces fixed with an expression of stunned misery.
They weren't leaving the Allianz Arena, where the final was played, but Munich's Olympic stadium. Bayern's former home had sold out, even though the only football action on display there was on a giant screen.
From outside it sounded like a real match was going on inside and, for long periods, there were thunderous roars of approval as the local team dominated their English opponents. And that explains the shock; the empty stares as the Bayern faithful walked home wondering how on earth their team had lost.
Not all left meekly. Hearing the English accents, many threatened the CNN crew with violence but their fury wasn't really directed at us. We were easy targets. Bayern's fans were actually angry with the footballing gods, and with Chelsea.
Jubilant Chelsea players parade trophy
All day Munich had been tapping its metaphorical foot to a carnival beat. The city was rocking; the blue of Chelsea overwhelmed by the red of Bayern as supporters sung, danced and drank under a gloriously sunny sky.
Yet that joyous abandon was extinguished by another odds-defying display from a Chelsea side who have reveled in their underdogs tag.
Penalty shootout drama in Munich
How could a team that had finished down in sixth place in England's Premier League, that had been in disarray when Roberto Di Matteo replaced Andre Villas-Boas as manager in February, that rode its luck to beat Barcelona in the semi-finals, overcome the combined talents of Mario Gomez, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery and Thomas Muller?
As the 2011 champions from Spain had discovered in the previous round, football isn't won on paper. It's not enough to dominate the statistics. Bayern had 21 goal attempts to Chelsea's six. The German club earned 20 corners, Chelsea just one.
from one corner they got the goal in last minute.does it still not prove they are good.defend well go for goal if needed and get it and defend.
Chelsea deserved that title, all players were commuted to won. The interim coach deserves a full contract.
Bravo Chelsea and all worldwide fans.
incredible result!! large chunks of the game were a poor spectacle, compared to last year it was appalling, in fact. chelsea defended very well though, and took their chance when it came. pleased for young bertrand too, in this first CL game.
bayern had their chances. first they had a lead with just moments to go and failed to defend a corner, basic. second, how robben will rue that penalty miss! and finally they even had the advantage in the shootout. from a munich point of view, to have all that happen in their own backyard must be even more sickening than 1999.
Football is football and that is it. There can only be one winner even though penalty kicks do suck. Neither Chelsea nor Bayern played their best game. Both played better in the semi-final matches because they were more prepared. Chelsea won ok but with a lot of luck. 6th place in the premier league with 65 goals. Uncomparable to Real Madrid nor Barcelona who had played the Liga and the Champions league to the last drop. Well if Chelsea really want to be the true champions well i think they would have to just rightly defend this title and this time they would need more work for that and not luck. Chelsea is the champ but not the best. I am sorry to say that. Football is football!!!
As Gary Neville said from the start "it was just meant to be." Bayern absolutely should have won the game, but they threw away too many chances. And then they take their goal scorer off immediately after he's put them ahead. The manner of Chelsea's wins against both Barcelona and Bayern is classic Italian defensive style. Keep the shape, defend in depth and hit them on the break. It's not pretty but it's compelling theater. And you have to hand it to Chelsea that, when they did attack, they were very dangerous.
Big props to Chelsea who were one of the teams at the forefront of the "crisis" in English football according to your esteemed colleague, Pedro Pinto, who's been an epic fail with most of his predictions this season. The fact is Chelsea were simply smarter and braver than Barcelona and Bayern Munich. As underdogs they set out not to lose in the hope of sneaking a win and it worked. It wasn't pretty but better to be an ugly winner than an attractive loser.
simply admit the fact that didier drogba is a legend,punkt.
It was a great game. I pity those who can't appreciate a good defensive game. Anyone who has ever competed knows the satisfaction that comes with a good defensive game. It is appreciated in every sport besides soccer....there it defending seems to be some kind of sin.
If anything, this European season has proved you need to defend first, attack second....ask Pep if you don't believe me.
its just because of superstars that change the result in a second ,,,,, Bavarian duds didnt have player like drugba,,,,,
Chelsea well deserved! Bayern were played off the field one week before. Dortmund won by 5-2 over Bayern. One could imagine what would be left of Chelsea had they been made to pay Dortmund.
Congratulations to Chelsea. I am happy that it was an Italian coach who guided them to victory. Personally I also prefer open attacking football but with the current rules it's the defensive counter attacking teams that win. If, for example, in case of a draw.... the team that shot at goal more often would be designated the winner then, in my opinion, both teams would attack more. I would also like to see the baskeball time limit rule applied in soccer so that the teams cannot keep endlessly passing the ball around the field without taking a shot at goal. The use of the "sin bin" instead of the yellow card would also make the game more interesting...
the english love to stick it to the germans. They like it even more when the germans are miserable.
The BBC ran hour long shots of forlorn bayern fans. Call is sadism or schadenfreude..
Chelsea should justifiably be proud of themselves. Drogba is indeed a god.
But as a Bayern supporter, I know that Munich was the better side and the english will get thrashed in Euro 2012 and Brazil 2014. Consider it a done deal.
Chelsea believed in Quality ( Getting one corner and converted to goal ) while others attacking teams keep attacking but failing to convert ( 20 corners to Bayen... Simply quantity ). If you don´t agree then ask Barcelona and Munich.
Attack and defence are components of football. You only decide which component to amplify. The duty of attack is to unlock the defence while the duty of the defence is to thwart an attack.Chelsea executed its strategy successfully while Bayern failed to utilise its chances. Congratulations Chesea! you rock.
I simply don't understand why people talk about the negative tactics. They were missing three of their star defensive players (considering Ramires both a defensive and an offensive threat; a very complete and exciting young player) What would you have asked DiMatteo to do? The goal of the Champions League is to win. He didn't cheat. He simply analyzed his team's strengths and weaknesses and put a plan together to win. If Chelsea had Ivanovic, Ramires, Terry and Ramires, the tactics would most certainly been different.
If anyone watched film of the Barcleona, Chelsea semifinal in 2009 you would have seen that in the second leg, Chelsea did in fact open up and attack. A smaller, physically weaker Barcelona squad was forced to foul Chelsea to prevent goals and it worked. Chelsea got no calls in their favor, including two (maybe 3) clear penalty kicks, while Barcelona scored a late goal to advance. As a coach, playing Barcelona, based on that history, I would have assumed that again we were going to get no calls in our favor and would have played a tactically conservative game as well.
Kudos to Drogba, Lampard, Cech. Kudos to Chelsea. Great, great win.
what a cheap way to win any title... penalty kicks. it's the championship for crying-out-loud. keep playing until another goal is scored. play until the wheels fall off and then keep going until someone scores
Das deutsche Team Bayern hatte kein Glück.
Bayern gewinnen wir wären besser.
Bdedir çayı 43
Where is Aizanoi
Drogba and his colleagues have been together for long. It is not easy to write them off. Home and away they play to a plan especially in the big matches. Such a team can be written off only by their rivals on a given match day. Napoli, Barça, Liverpool and Bayern never wrote them off. Why should others ?
Congratulations to Roberto Di Matteo, Lampard, Cech, Drogba, Obi, Kalou, Mata, Bertrand, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Boswinga, Malouda, Fernando Torres, Ramires, JT, Ivanovic and Meirelles.
Chelsea were not lucky, they scored more than Bayern dave55ides. That's how they won. There is no luck in football. Get that to your head all who talk of luck. You miss your chances your opponent gets theirs. period. Well done Chelsea though the game had a lot of dull spots for a final.
WHO's AYING SOMETHING ...CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE MOST ELLITE COMPETITION FIRST CLUB IN LONDON TO WIN ...OLD PLAYERS WHAT???BAYERN BLUNDERED ROBBEN SUFFERED From the world cup hangover lolol lol.Drogba is a beeeeeaaasttt!!!!IT IS ABOUT QUALITY NOT QUANTITY .bayern lesson learned ich hoffe auch das nechste saisn besser sein werde ,aber jetzt nach hause gehen und sehr sehr gut schlafen lal order lol ha haha!!!
I think you have to put Chelsea's achievement in some perspective. The match was played on Munich's home ground, in front of a stadium packed with their supporters. Chelsea had four key players (including their Captain) suspended. Moreover the two central defenders who played had to be rushed back from injuries and were nowhere near 100% fit. Bayern had more possession (55%) and more chances, but most of these were weak long range efforts. Petr Cech hardly had to make a save the whole game (until the penalties). Chelsea on the other hand always looked dangerous on the break. All in all this was an epic victory.
am very happy for chelsea especially drogba he have prove his african shrenght.am so sorry for those that says chelsea didnt derseve the title.chelsea beat barcelona the consider as the world best because the play primary school ball.i understand what some people think about wining a football game.the should go and ask BARCELONA
I saw a match which pitted an English team that had to fight to the very end without playing the most attractive football against a German side that had an entire nation behind them.At the end, the Blues of London walked away with the trophy. Football is such a crazy sports that's way it's loved by it's fans and hated by others. UP THE BLUES!!!!!
Chelsea deserved this more than any other side. Everyone wrote them off (even their own manager AVB stated it will be impossible to beat Napoli in England). Luck or talent? They scored four goals and out of all the trouble they faced Barcelona, talk about luck. They managed to defeat them over 180 minutes. You can't call it luck, most teams defend against Barca, but Chelsea defended and attacked too.
Hate them or love them, they are the champions of europe.
The Africans won the cup. Period.
hola CHELSEA, ME MUCHO GUSTO QUE HAYAN LOGRADO ESTE TITULO YA QUE SE LO MERECIAN GANAR DESDE HACE VARIAS TEMPORADAS, FELICIDADES A TODOS Y AL CAPITAN QUE SIEMPRE LO HE ADMIRADO POR SU GARRA, FELICIDADES CHELSEA.
A large part in winning a football game is composure. This is how Chelsea was able to overcome the passing games of Barcelona and Bayern. Defend and wait for just the right opportunity. It's so clear they did this to perfection. Chelsea's strength is in the experience of it's team and the composure they have to always stay focused no matter what. The better team won, and they won by calmly outwitting the other side. UEFA also earned itself a new team in its roster of champions. Chelseas' first time well earned and deserved. Congratulations.
Simply a stunning performance.
Bayern were not as effective as they could have been.
Chelsea were stunning and worth winners
I don't ever think I would be so happy again in my life than the day the GLORIOUS TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE CHELSEA won the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CUP.It isn't because I am a Chelsea Fun but it was a day I Really had a fulfilled DREAM. NEVER in my life have I become so fulfilled and achieved in my entire LIFE. Not even on my marriage day or my employment day or on the day I had my first born. I actually sat on tentahooks all one hundred and twenty hours of the match. In the nutshell, I have also learned ONE GREAT LIFE'S EXPERIENCE and that is EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH DETERMINATION. My little advice is that Chelsea should revamp the team with NEW YOUNG PLAYERS and they SHALL LIVE FOREVER.
chelsea really did great though they were not favourites to win.as many fans expected either real madrid or barcelona to win but who gave a second look at the rampant chelsea?
are seriousy 40,000 people without making any noise -- Didia drogba is a small god 4 sure

Scientists know that some cancers are triggered by viruses, which take over cellular systems and cause uncontrolled cell growth. Doctors – and patients who get shingles late in life – have also known for many years that some viruses, particularly the herpes virus, can lie dormant in a person's cells for long periods of time and then reactivate, causing disease. These viruses also cause significant disease in immunosuppressed people and those living with HIV/AIDS.
A recent study led by Blossom Damania, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focuses on the intersection of these two scientific puzzles, resulting in new discoveries about how one herpesvirus known to cause cancer may reactivate when the infected cell senses another type of virus entering it.
Damania, who is also a member of the UNCLinebergerComprehensiveCancerCenter, focused on Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), an agent associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and another syndrome called Castleman's disease.
"We hypothesized that a secondary viral infection could serve as the trigger for KSHV, so we took cells infected with KSHV and activated immune receptor proteins called toll-like receptors that are present on the body's cells. Toll-like receptors are the guardians of the cell and essentially function to alert the cell to the presence of an intruder. These proteins act as an alarm system to tell the cell that a foreign organism is trying to enter it," said Damania.
Ten human toll-like receptors have been identified by scientists thus far, but the UNC team found that activation of only two of them, TLR7 and TLR8, reactivated the virus, allowing it to reproduce itself. The cells self-destruct in an attempt to kill the virus, but by the time the cell dies, the virus has already replicated and escaped, moving on to infect other cells in the body.
"This is a very exciting finding because it helps us better understand how a latent virus can suddenly reactivate, replicating and spreading throughout the body. Additionally, since Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer that is associated with this phase of viral infection, it is plausible that the virus' activation and replication may eventually lead to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma in an infected individual.
"Laboratory experiments in a controlled research environment often do not reflect the real world, where we are constantly exposed to many different environmental factors and other microorganisms. This finding is an important reminder that multiple factors are involved in causing disease," she added.
The research was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Study co-authors from the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center include first-author Sean Gregory, graduate student; John West, PhD postdoctoral fellow; Patrick Dillon, PhD postdoctoral fellow; and Dirk Dittmer, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology.

As you explore Oakland, you come upon places where something has been erased and not yet replaced.
The Oakland Hills fire of October 1991 left these, the first on Acacia Avenue and the other two on Roble Road.
There must be reasons for each of these remaining ruins after almost twenty years. But here they are, some quite public and others in quiet privacy. People pass and pay them no mind. Another few decades and the traces might be gone.
I got an odd request last year: Henry K. Lee, author of Presumed Dead, asked me to visit the spot in the Oakland Hills where a notorious murderer put the body of his victim. He wanted to know how a geologist would describe the ground there. It was shale, crumbling and easily dug. The place was shrouded in oak woods, but everyday life was within earshot: lawn equipment whining, bicyclists conversing, dogs. The site—which I will not call a grave—was still being visited. But its traces should be left to vanish.

Basically the entire world dreams of being BFFs with Jennifer Lawrence, but for one gal, that's actually a thing IRL. JLaw brought her BFF Laura Simpson as her date to the Oscars, and now Laura is giving all of us an all-access pass to every behind-the-scenes detail from the night!
In an open letter on Myspace, Laura reveals every celeb secret you've ever wanted to know—like what it's really like to be snapped by thousands of photographers on the red carpet, and what Brad Pitt smells like (obviously).
"I met her seven years ago at an event where we both didn't know a single person. We hit it off over a mutual respect for Chandler Bing, and we've been eating pizza together ever since," Laura revealed about her long-time bestie. And when JLaw made her infamous Oscars fall (for the second time!), Laura was right there in the action and gives us all the scoop on the Hunger Games star's deja-fall:
More From Seventeen
"We finally arrive at the red carpet and as we exit the car, my date eats [it] and uses my freshly done Lauren Conrad up 'do to break her fall. The crowd goes wild. There are flashbulbs and people circling yet no one asks if I need any help because unless you are famous at the Oscars, you are completely invisible. I have never experienced anything like it."
And while we all saw JLaw chowing down on pizza from her front row seat during the show, thanks to host Ellen Degeneres, Laura says there was more snacking going on backstage. "My date comes out after her category and we decide to watch the rest of the show in the green room where there is pizza," Laura shares.
But most importantly, Laura let us in on what one of Hollywood's most epic couples is really like: "Brad Pitt smells amazing, like nothing I've ever smelled. Eventually we ask what cologne he's wearing and he tells us, 'I don't wear cologne, it's just my musk I guess.' I have to choose not to believe him because it would just be unfair to mankind. Angelina is gorgeous and elegant and they are like The Sun and The Moon."
Clearly, not only is JLaw the coolest chick ever, but she's got some pretty awesome (and hilarious) friends, too! Now, if only we could all get invited to their next girl's night...

The trial of Drew Peterson, who has been in custody for the past four years on suspicion that he murdered his third wife Kathleen Savio, has finally reached a conclusion with Peterson being found guilty and sentenced to 38 years in prison. It is likely, however, that prosecution will once again bring him to trial, this time to answer for the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson, who Peterson claims is still alive and ran off with another man.
Kathleen Savio's death in 2004 was initially ruled an accident after she was found dead in a bathtub having been killed by a blow to the head. It wasn't until Stacy's disappearance in 2007 that police decided to reinvestigate Savio's death and reclassify it as a homicide.
The trial on her murder did not end without drama. Peterson, who has been lighthearted and even jocular throughout the entire process (joking about a "Win a Conjugal Visit With Drew Contest"), exploded before the judge's sentencing, forcefully saying, "I did not kill Kathleen!" and following up with a 30-minute rant about being railroaded. Multiple Savio family members were removed from the courtroom for shouting emotional responses.
"We all got an opportunity to see a psychopath reveal himself in open court," Lead State Prosecutor James Glasgow told reporters following Thursday's trial. "That shrill…screech…That's the guy that killed Kathy."

Happy Monday! and welcome to the third week of our Monthly series – Attitude of Gratitude. Just in case you missed the November Vibes post, Every Monday and Wednesday for the month of November, I will be posting questions in regards to being grateful. I will answer these questions myself but my hope is that you will answer them too and leave those answers in the comment section.
Some questions may have us digging a little deeper within ourselves to answer them, but in the end – my hope is that you will feel more empowered and begin to see yourself and even your life differently and not just for the month of November – but for every month of the year. You can choose to start a journal if you want but this challenge as you may say, is not just about us writing things out and leaving it in a little book to store it away and go back to it when we're reflecting on our life but the challenge is to show it!! so as an extra bonus after every question regarding yourself will be a question in which will relate to the world around you, it'll be called "Our End of the Day Question" – you don't have to write about it here, but it'll be something that you'll just ask yourself everyday at the end of your day. While writing out what we're "grateful" for is half the battle, showing gratitude for and towards others is the KEY!
So, let's do both – reflecting and showing….(by the way, the passage above will be in every challenge post to start off, however; a new question will be at the bottom of each post).
Describe the last time your heart was overflowing with JOY! (My response)
Last year about this time, I had just gotten a new car – BUT! it was a frustrating experience prior to that point, while the beginning was frustrating and had me crying a many nights, the ending was so sweet and I knew that in the end GOD definitely DID IT! so here's a short version of the story: I was living in a very nice place, probably one of the best places I'd ever lived in since being out on my own. The rooms were huge and there was enough room to move around without bumping into someone; however, those good times came to an end when I got a letter on the door stating that I had to move out, unfortunately the landlord didn't take the money I paid him, to pay the mortgage on the place (this had been going on for quite some time without me knowing it) and the house was getting foreclosed on; I was devastated, hurt and wondering where in the world were me and my kids going to go?? In the process of moving, I got behind on my car payments although I did try to call and make arrangements but that went unnoticed; I woke up that Saturday morning to find my car gone, it had been repossessed and the kicker in all of that was – I was going to start a new job that following Monday!
How was I going to get to work?? Thank God for cool friends and a wonderful sister whom let me use her car for 2 weeks, putting her active family down to one car. I went everywhere trying to get a car and everyone denied me, I was so hurt and had reached my wits end until my mom mentioned a car dealership that I had not tried; thinking things were going to be the same verbatim conversation as the other dealers, I didn't put much hope nor thought into the gentlemen that was asking me for the same exact information I had given everyone else. "I can get you a car," he said….But that's what everyone else had said too and to no avail, I had to get a ride back home. So as I waited impatiently on him to add up the numbers and submit the information, that feeling of defeat turned into a praise when I heard him come back and say, "Ma'am, YOU'RE APPROVED!!!!
– Describe the last time your heart was filled with Joy!; Comment Below –
Your End of the Day Question:
What resources do you have in your life right now, that you know someone else doesn't have. You can't save the whole world; but think of how you could help give at least one of those resources to someone in need. (food, warmth etc.)

This poster is not using its available space well. The board is half empty. But although I cannot read virtually anything at this distance except maybe the headings and title, I can see that there are bar graphs on the poster. I can see blocks of colour.
This poster is about the same size the one above, and suffers from not using its available space well. But it's suffering in so many more ways. The content of the poster has faded away in the distance like disappearing into a fog. There are no blocks of colour; everything has turned to gray. You can make out that there are columns of text, but you can't make out anything about the figures.
I am not sure either of these posters would pass the "arm's length" test. But while both posters are far from ideal, the top one succeeds in that at least at these long distances, you can make out something that is recognizable.
The smaller and further away you can get from your poster and recognize something on it, the more successful your poster is likely to be. Even if that is just blocks of colour.

Endings, perhaps more than beginnings, set the tone in historical fiction. Any story of a human life ends in death. That doesn't mean a chronicler has to follow the tale through. Take Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, for example. This juicy banquet of a novel made a hero out of Thomas Cromwell, longtime chief minister for England's Henry VIII, a man best known — until Mantel's 2009 Booker-winning treatment — as the scheming villain of A Man for All Seasons. Mantell's lovely brick treated Cromwell as the ultimate self-made man, chronicling his engineering of Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon, a split that also severed England from the Catholic church, and concluding with the execution of Cromwell's arch rival, the seasonal Thomas More. The collapse of Cromwell's greatest project — Henry's second marriage, to Anne Boleyn — is hinted at, as the book winds up around page 650, but it is the battle between the great statesmen that preoccupies Mantel.
More is two months dead by the time Bring Up the Bodies opens in September, 1535, although he is still very much on Cromwell's mind, and Anne is clearly on the decline. But in this second hefty volume, the forces set in motion continue to play out. The conservatives — secret Catholics as well as old Yorkists who still resent the Tudor ascent — are out to get our hero. And students of history know they will — Cromwell was beheaded for, among other crimes, treason and heresy in 1540. But that's the stuff of another book (a third is planned). Bring Up the Bodies focuses on Cromwell's consolidation of power over the course of one year as he balances the king's whims and other treacherous forces to bring down one queen and set the stage for a third, Jane Seymour.
Henry wants a son; the young Tudor dynasty needs an heir. And Cromwell's job — his only real duty — is to realize the king's desires. His personal tragedy — the death of his wife and two daughters — is incidental to this, and as Mantel picks up the thread, Cromwell is hunting with the king, using falcons that he has named for the lost women in his life.
Bring Up the Bodies, like its predecessor, is a study of thought, of process. Cromwell should write a book, he is told. "If he did, it would be The Book Called Henry," he notes. "[H]ow to read him, how to serve him, how best to preserve him."

As one part of the local Corporate Volunteering crossborder activities in Schenker Singapore, we work together with a local NGO to provide the poor villagers in Cambodia with safe housing, clean water and sanitation.
Thousands of poor villagers live in ramshackle houses with leaking roofs and broken walls. Meanwhile many villagers do not have an access to working well or toilets. The lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation leads to poor health and harsh living environment.
With this Community Building Program, we hope to ensure that the poorest of the poor receive the help and to light up the hope in the village.
In three different remote villages, 2 houses, 1 well and 1 toilet were built by 42 Schenker Cares Volunteers with the help of our local partner NGO.

Check out the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine!
How is everyone doing today? I'm still spending a few more days down here in Panama, but now we have moved to Panama City. We are at a place called the Manrey Hotel and it is amazing. I have to say, I'm actually in awe of Panama and how advanced this place it. Very impressive. I haven't had a bad meal since we landed in this country. The food and the people are great.
Some of the Yankees guys should be getting into town either today or tomorrow to get ready for Andruw Jones's event. From everything I have heard, this event should be pretty awesome, and I will be sure to put up some pictures when I can. Today I may even get a chance to meet Roberto Duran. My kids and I love boxing, so that would be a real thrill!
Got some good news the other day while I was down here: The people over at ESPN The Magazine informed me through my guys at Triple Crown Productions that we got the cover of the magazine's December issue. That's pretty awesome news! And the fact that my lazy-ass dog, DH, made the cover, too, is even better. It looks like he got a taste of my whole mouth on the shot, too. I can't say enough about the ESPN crew. They showed up and did their job. They were telling me that usually during shoots people can be pretty quiet. Well, as you could imagine, not me and my family (haha). I think we ended up talking more than we got photographed. You can check out some behind-the-scenes pics I posted last week from the shoot on the website. It's an honor to be on the cover, and I couldn't be happier that I got it. And for your sake just be happy ESPN didn't pick me to be on the cover of their "Body Issue". That would have been bad for everyone (haha).
So, here is the final product; the cover (with DH, of course) that hits newsstands tomorrow. Be sure to go pick up a copy and read the interview I did with Tim Kirkjian. He did a great job with the questions and I answered as best as I could.
Happy December everyone, and hopefully we will see you guys this weekend in Chicago or at the Winter Meetings next week. This is always an exciting time for baseball and I can't wait to see what happens.

Things have been moving along quite rapidly on the JVM backend since my last post. Sadly, I'm too sick to hack on anything much this evening (hopefully, this turns out to be a very temporary affliction…) but I can at least just about write English, so I figured I'd provide a little update. :-)
Last time I blogged here, I was able to compile various QAST trees down to JVM bytecode and had a growing test suite for this. My hope was that, by some inductive handwaving, being able to compile a bunch of QAST nodes and operations correctly would mean that programs made up of a whole range of them would also compile correctly. In the last week or so, that has come to pass.
Having reached the point of having coverage of quite a lot of QAST, I decided to look into getting an NQP frontend plugged into my QAST to JVM backend. In the process, I found that NQP lacked the odd VM abstraction here and there in the common prelude that it includes with every QAST tree it produces. Thankfully, this was easily rectified. Even better, I got rid of a couple of old hacks that were no longer required. With those things out of the way, I found that this common prelude depended on a couple of operations that I'd not got around to implementing in the JVM backend. These were also simple to add. And…here endeth the integration story. Yup, that was it: I now had a fledgling NQP cross-compiler. An NQP compiler running on Parrot, but producing output for the JVM.
This result is rather exciting, because…
- It's using exactly the same parse and action stages as when we're targeting Parrot. No hacks, no fork. The QAST tree we get from the NQP source code that goes in is exactly the one we get when targeting Parrot. Everything that happens differently happens is beyond that stage, in the backend. This is an extremely positive sign, architecturally.
- With a couple of small additions to handle the prelude, I was immediately able to cross-compile simple NQP programs and run them on the JVM. There's no setting or MOP yet, but the basics (variables, loops, subroutines with parameters, even closures) Just Worked.
- The program I wrote to glue the JVM backend work and the existing NQP frontend together was about 30 lines of NQP code.
- This whole integration process was about an afternoon's worth of work.
Since I got that working, my focus has been on getting nqp-mo (the NQP meta-objects) to cross-compile. This is where classes and roles are implemented, and thus is a prerequisite for cross-compiling the NQP setting, which is in turn a prerequisite for being able to start cross-compiling and running the NQP test suite. The NQP MOP is about 1500 lines of NQP code, and at this point I've got about 1400 of them to cross-compile. So I'm almost there with it? Well, not quite. Turns out that the next thing I need to port is the bounded serialization stuff. That's a rather hairy chunk of work.
Anyway, things are moving along nicely. The immediate roadmap is to get the bounded serialization to the point where it's enough for the NQP MOP, then move on to getting a minimal setting cross compiling. Beyond that, it'll be working through the test suite, porting the regex compilation and seeing what else is needed to cross-compile the rest of NQP.

Whilst many visitors to London can appreciate the more notable attractions, here we want to highlight some of the lesser known sights that can be found in our wonderful city.
A lot of people, especially Londoners themselves, appreciate these because they don't always want to be a part of the hustle and bustle – sometimes it's great to have a bit of peace and quiet whilst visiting sights people don't generally know about. Continue reading "The secret sights of London"
