S03.E01: Keep on Truckin' Six Feet Apart
By Pallas, October 21, 2020 in The Conners
Pallas 8.4k
The Conners are dealing with a global pandemic and life in Lanford -- where, it turns out, The Lunch Box isn't the only local institution that's recently re-opened.

Okay, I'm good with how they're handling current events overlaid with the Conners' situation. Just saying, maybe they could cut the budget for those fancy blue paper towels 🙂

Welcome back, Conners!
Poor Mark. Leave it to him to be extra diligent with the safety measures :D.
LOL at the "Laverne & Shirley" bit with Darlene and Becky :). I'm glad Darlene got something more stable, but boy, did I sympathize with her frustration about her writing career and wanting to do better and whatnot. Hopefully this work will prove beneficial for her and Becky in general, at least. And hopefully Darlene can still keep at her interest in writing in general-even if she isn't making a career out of it, she can still do it on the side both for fun and to further hone her skills. Hell, if she really wanted, she could always self-publish some short story on some site or something just as a one-off thing. It wouldn't bring in a ton of dough, but she might get a little something out of that and it'd keep her love of writing afloat on some level.
I also liked the bit with Emilio, when he was talking about how often the rules changed for immigrants. That was powerful. I really hope nothing happens to him, he's such a sweet guy and I want him to be part of Beverly's life. The bit about him passing for white was good, as was Becky's "Don't romanticize" comment regarding their night together :p.
And I'm glad Dan finally relented and is letting everyone else help him out with the house and stuff. Louise continues to be good for him, too.
The Clooney flashback! That was fun.

Yeah maybe that was a little more eloquent than my response.

I wonder if they are having minimal makeup sessions because of Covid? The all look better last season and I noticed the lighting is dimmer in some scenes.
As for the episode, it's a bit depressing. Darlene could have had an office job that was offered at the old magazine. But who could have foreseen a freaking global pandemic?

I wonder if part of it is the not-getting-haircuts thing. Plus I guess he's lost some weight over the past few years. I've been watching The West Wing episodes where he guest starred (maybe 15-20 years ago) and I was worried about how heavy/ puffy his face was then.

Once you've been foreclosed on, you can't simply show up with a few hundred or even a couple of thousand dollars and go back to square one. The sheriff is still going to show up in a few days to evict them. This needed to happen ages ago.
I wonder what everyone did with their stimulus checks.

I found this episode incredibly depressing. However, I feel like for the first time since the reboot, I was watching Darlene and not Sara Gilbert.

Oh, yeah, I know it's not as simple as that in the real world...but perhaps they'll address that fact in a future episode? It would be interesting to sed how they'd deal with that scenario, and what happens after that.
Mainly I'm just happy that Dan isn't trying to hide the financial struggles anymore. Even if the others' offer to help financially doesn't save them from leaving their house, at least he knows they're willing to help in general. And now that Darlene and Becky have more steady jobs, if everyone does have to split and move to separate places, hopefully they'll be able to have a little easier time finding their own places, even if it's just some cheap, tiny apartment for the time being or something.

I thought the minimal makeup and unkempt hair was purposefully done to reflect the realism of people not getting haircuts/their hair done or caring much about outward appearance during the pandemic.
Ben should be going to work for Dan at this point,even if it is practically for free. He looks strong and abled bodied enough to handle that kind of work.
Loved the Booker shoutout.
Wonder if the eviction moratorium will pull through for them, just in the nick of time.

Poor Mark with the Lizard Day cake; that would never actually happen, and was probably a step too far, even for a tag.
This episode was just okay, but I'm glad to have the show back.
I like that everyone's quarantine hair looked like varying degrees of shit (well, who can tell the difference with Darlene's?).
Danny Trejo's character was so disturbingly accurate in having a mask on but taking it off to talk to Dan - the time when he most needed to have it on - and also that he'd sunk to taking a shit job like serving his neighbors with eviction notices in an effort to save himself financially.
LOL at the Booker shout-out.
Dan referred to Louise as being in their bubble, which is what I assumed when I saw the clip of her at the house without anyone wearing masks, but then an article said she's yet another person who actually lives there now. But she still has her place (as she should), since she tells Dan if everything goes to hell he can come stay with her. So is she living or visiting?
Ben had a couple of great lines: "The mask will hide your general contempt for humanity" and "I lost my business, I've gone through my savings, and I'm sleeping in your childhood bed, but at least I have your sour face to look forward to."
Emilio as Chaz Johnson was funny, and thank the gods for Becky telling him not to romanticize the night that resulted in Beverly Rose; I so hope they keep up with the marriage of convenience rather than forcing a romance between those two.
Jackie dropping off Dan's lunch where he'll fall, and then telling the girls about his situation was pretty accurate. And Becky and Darlene crying over going backwards was touching. "Well, maybe our kids will do something." That line was heart-wrenching, given how hard Roseanne and Dan worked in the belief that they could improve their kids' lives by at least 50 percent; that used to be possible, but blew up in the '90s, and now Becky and Darlene don't actually have that hope. Nice humor break with the Laverne & Shirley song, but a moving sequence.
This was kind of an awkward introduction to a new version of an old show. We'll see how it goes, but I appreciate the effort to incorporate the wide-ranging effect of the pandemic without making that the sole storyline, and hope they get more back in the groove.

I think she might be doing both it seems.
I loved this episode. Poor Mark trying to keep everyone on their toes with the checking of temperatures and everything.
Still love Dan & Louise so much!! Also loved the Dan & Louise hug it was so sweet! She still fits right in with the family.
I hated that Dan got tricked with the eviction papers that was awful!!
Jackie was so funny! Poor Dan got hurt trying to work, but glad he was okay after a while.
Beverly Rose was adorable!!
I'm so glad the show is back now. I was missing it.

I didn't think about it until Tara said it on the podcast but the pandemic is the worst situation for the Connors work wise. All their occupations got hit hard this year.
I often laugh at people who have talked about being stuck indoors and quarantine and all that because my job as courier meant I never even got a chance to that. My life didn't change at all. The world around me did. I'm extremely lucky but I wanted to quarantine properly and just couldn't.
I love this fictional family warts and all. And I still miss Roseanne being here. Not excusing anything she said. They should have never done the reboot if they were worried about such things because her showing her ass is nothing new.
I want the best for them. I've never struggled the way they have but I relate more to them than the typical sitcom families. And I have struggled. It was just different.

I felt like this episode was going back to the original heart of Roseanne, where they showed people financially struggling people with some dignity and not just as trash meant to be laughed at.
In the a lot of other shows, the character's biggest problems seem to be that they can no longer visit their favorite coffee houses or show off fancy designer clothes.
The pandemic has ruined many lives and some people might never get back on track. Many millennials were just recovering from the Great Recession when the pandemic wiped them out again.
Darlene and Becky are not even as young as Millennials...they are Gen X. A college degree did not save Darlene from being much worse off then her parents...who were able to buy a house and raise a family on just high school degrees.
I saw an episode of Laverne and Shirley where they talked about how pathetic it was that the ladies were still bottle cappers at 28. Darlene and Becky have them beat.
It was nice to see Darlene show some humility after she was so nasty about working at the Wal-Mart like big box store.
I am glad that they finally let the stupid print magazine idea go...it never made sense.
Nice to see Jackie being able to hustle so well at her age. I can imagine the Lunchbox staying afloat on delivery/pickup...particularly now that they have a good cook in Emilio.
I can believe that Louise is avoiding people other than the Conners, and that Jackie is being very careful with her deliveries, but Emilio must be living with his aunts (who may still be watching other babies)-that's a very big bubble.
Had Becky completely quit her job as a waitress in order to work at the Lunchbox? If not, and the show was being realistic and Becky lost her waitressing job due to the pandemic (and assuming she had been paid on the books), she should have been receiving $600 per week in federal unemployment for months in addition to state unemployment benefits, plus the $1200 stimulus check plus a $500 check for Beverly Rose. She would have been one of the working poor who was temporarily much better off than she had ever been.

I don't actually live with my parents but I visit them often since I live closest to them. This has been true except for the first few months of the pandemic. Since I work from home I often go there for a quick lunch and dinner. I am bringing this all up because I think that might be what Louise is doing. It is far too soon To have her sleeping full time in Roseanne's bed so she might spend a lot of time with the family but still go back to her place. That might change now that money problems have become a real issue.
And yeah forgetting Mark's birthday was the only joke this episode that really missed.
Loved the Booker callback.
I think it was a great move to reopen Wellman Plastic.
I am willing to give Ben a mourning period for the paper but if he doesn't get an actual paying job in the next few episodes I may lose my patients with him.
Originally, no one but Jackie knew that they all were potentially being further exposed by Emilio's unmasked presence in their bubble. Dan still doesn't know, and he's the one most likely to fare poorly if he gets sick. It really wasn't fair of Becky to do that.
Other than Emilio, I was impressed with how the show only had the regular characters remove their masks outside the house when they were with others within their official bubble. (I agree that Danny Trejo was an unfortunate exception-Dan should have stepped way back.) Blackish couldn't resist having Bow remove her mask when close to other medical personal, which I don't believe would have happened in a California hospital during the height of the pandemic (or likely even now.) Even when eating outside, doctors would sit at separate tables, not clustered around a small one for an extended period of time. It sends a very confusing message.

Wish that happened with two houses near my in-laws. The guy was foreclosed on and sadly, they let him live there for 2 months and then decided to commit suicide. Many said if they would have truly "kicked him out" he would have lived with his brother and most likely would not have went down that road. While another one refused to leave and they let the woman live there for almost a year money free, even shut off the power to the house and they wouldn't leave. Once the house was sold at auction, she got up and left finally because a new family owned the house. She got ZERO, but kept acting: "Well, if they aren't going to arrest me, I'm staying."
31 minutes ago, readster said:
It could be a situation like when the housing bubble burst and banks were very busy foreclosing, so people stayed in their houses for months before they were officially kicked out.
I have a feeling if The Connors ever truly lost the house, it would be the end of the show...in any form. It just would not have the classic Roseanne feel. Maybe, that will be a series finale episode (though what a depressing way to end the series).

Depressing but accurate first episode. I was annoyed with Darlene and Becky's treatment of Dan when he's lying on the sofa. Sure they can be upset Dan's being stubborn to ask for help but they've should've been more aware of things and contributing anyway. They are in their 40s and not teens.
I laughed but cringe at Ben on financially contributing.
I understand Darlene's sadness at not achieving her dream of being a writer but she has been so arrogant thinking she's too good for some jobs it makes me wonder what opportunities she blew before coming to Lanford.

Well, she's not dead yet. She can still freelance and who knows? Maybe she has a novel in her.

Missed the Connors and glad they are back. My thoughts:
Everyone should have been paying some type of rent from day 1. I can't believe that Dan would be that prideful. Back on Roseanne David was paying rent to them when he was living in the basement and working part time at the pizza place.
Loved the Booker shout out. Shows how much they have changed Jackie's character (for the worst in my opinion). They need to dial her back to season 2/3 of Roseanne.
I never understood Darlene's employment situation. She has a college degree. At the very least that would have made her eligible to apply for some type of middle management position somewhere. There were probably many opportunities that she let slide to find "the perfect job" or a writer's job. I remember the episode of Roseanne where she got the job offer in Chicago for 30K starting and Roseanne and Dan chewed her out about that. I am glad they killed the magazine storyline as really it's more of a pet project than an actual job with benefits. (like people podcasting on the side).
The fact that Darlene forgot Mark's birthday. That would never happen.
Loved that Emilio is back!
Loved that Louise has integrated so well into the family.
Hated that the neighbour stooped so low as to serve Dan the eviction notice. I guess it's a dog eat dog world there now?

This is something touched on in the original show. The problem with Dan taking side jobs for cash is that he is not eligible for unemployment, worker's comp, or other benefits. The problem with Becky and Darlene taking side jobs is they also are not eligible for these benefits.
The Connors came along at the perfect time because with the gig economy, many people working for Uber, Lyft, and delivering packages for Amazon are thinking they will be compensated if they are injured, they think they will receive unemployment if the works dries up. Then, when it's too late, they find out that as "independent contractors" they have no safety net.

There was no mention of him, but Michael Fishman's name is still in the opening credits. Also, when Ben said he was sleeping in Darlene's childhood bed, I was waiting for her to correct him because they are actually in DJ's old room. Mark and Harris are sleeping in Darlene and Becky's old room.
When Darlene was bemoaning the fact that her writing career never went anywhere, I was expecting Becky to bring up the fact that she passed on college to be with Mark. That was a big plot point towards the end of the original Roseanne show.
Lots of missed opportunities here, but continuity has been a big problem since the reboot. They still managed to get a Clooney callback in though. Hit or miss.

Good points!
And this is the problem when the kids see Youtubers getting rich overnight. They see others their age doing it and figure they can too. So they don't want to take a job bagging groceries at the supermarket because it takes time away from them building their Youtube (or Tik Tok or Twitter) counts.
It's the modern day equivalent of hopping on the bus to L.A. to make it big in the movies.

I would have preferred the Clooney line without the actual flashback. If Jackie had just mentioned that he looked like George Clooney, it would have been funny. But I feel like they put in the clip to show that it was ACTUALLY George Clooney, but most of the viewers know that already (and would have gotten a chuckle at the line) so the clip was unnecessary.
Overall, I really loved this episode. And seeing Becky and Darlene back at Wellman, looking like Roseanne and Jackie from 20 years ago, was extremely poetic, if not horribly depressing.
I never understood Darlene's employment situation. She has a college degree. At the very least that would have made her eligible to apply for some type of middle management position somewhere.
I don't think it was a four year degree. She went to Art School which doesn't carry a lot of weight in the tech industry. If she had pursued graphic design, she would at least have a working knowledge of computers so she wouldn't be in a position like her mom, who didn't know an algorithm from the rhythm method. I agree she could have gotten a middle management job except she has zero people skills which is pretty much a requirement in that line of work.
Does Darlene have a college degree? I was never clear about that. Didn't she go to a writing/art school that ultimately doesn't translate well into the real world market? Yes she is slightly more educated then her family but I don't think she has an actual degree from a school that matters. I have three degrees myself. Two of them are from computer schools that have since shut down. I got them after I realized my English major in college didn't translate well into the workforce. Then again neither did two degrees from schools that don't exist anymore.

For some reason this episode made me appreciate more how fortunate I am. Having been self-employed with a stable income base since way before the Pandemic, it barely touched me financially. You watch the news and hear about families struggling, but it's somehow different from watching it play out, even fictionally, on a day-to-day basis.
If she had pursued graphic design, she would at least have a working knowledge of computers so she wouldn't be in a position like her mom, who didn't know an algorithm from the rhythm method.
You paint with words, Peacheslatour!
It's probably difficult to find a middle management job at Landford these days, and Darlene turned down the job at the old magazine company and burning bridges.
Chicago is only an hour away though and she may have better luck there, except she probably won't make the effort. The plastics company is easy so she went for it. Nothing wrong with factory work; my own family worked in factories. But Darlene, like Roseanne, won't work towards a realistic goal and looking down on jobs they managed to get hired for.
Talent alone is not enough. You need to network, take continuing classes, dig for exclusive stories, create an online presence. It seems Ben was out there finding sponsors all by himself. What was Darlene doing except writing stories that the other magazine probably already got the scoop on?
PradaKitty 13.3k
Darlene is just where her mother was - working in a factory and wanting to use her talent as a writer. Becky is turning into Jackie. It just took the them 40 years to get there.
The biggest problem I have with Darlene's story is something you just kinda have to hand wave away. She would in fact (pre pandemic at least) have a lot more job opportunities in the city where I think she was living before all this began. Even if she lost her job and her marriage her children aren't exactly young so her spending hours looking for another job and putting in the work isn't exactly a big ask Even if there was a short term reason for them to stay in Landford (which I think there was) the prospects for Darlene are just better in a city. Even if she has to commute.
But then this show has never been about success it's be about trials and tribulations and the hardships of the lower middle classes.

I paid room and board when I lived home briefly before I moved for a better job. I can't believe these adult women expect Dan to support them and their kids. Dan shouldn't even see that mortgage bill, but that's just me and the way I was raised. I can't remember how many times he and Roseanne re-mortgaged the house, but to live always under that debt and never getting out from under it is probably way too common.

It doesn't sound like Dan was willing to even accept any money from the kids. But I agree with you. If they are in such dire straits that they are about to all be evicted, he's not doing them any favors by getting them all tossed out into the street. Pride is one thing, but this also includes stupid.
I wonder how they're going to write themselves out of this hole? I don't see them getting a new set with the Connors living under a bridge somewhere dressed in garbage bags. Maybe they can win the lottery? No, wait, that's not a good idea...
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness."
Yeah that's been a problem with Darlene since the reboot. If she couldn't find another job in Chicago then how in the hell did she expect to find work in Lanford? This really does tend to feel more like a problem with Darlene's attitude than her abilities and/or experience, and that makes it really hard to sympathize with her.
I can't remember how many times he and Roseanne re-mortgaged the house, but to live always under that debt and never getting out from under it is probably way too common.
They were going to take out a second mortgage to open the bike shop, but then Ziggy left them a bunch of money. So I don't remember if they did end up taking out another mortgage for the bike shop. However, after they closed down the diner at Rodbell's, Roseanne told Bonnie they had two mortgages on their house. I doubt anyone would have given them a third mortgage.
It's possible they might have paid off at least one of them in the interim but when the reboot started it was clear they were in dire financial straits and that was before the pandemic. We don't really know how they got there because the reboot has ignored a lot of canon from the original.

That flashback scene was a real eye-opener. I never watched the show when Roseanne was on it (couldn't stand her), but when she was kicked off I checked it out because I heard good things. And there were definitely things I responded to and liked. But I was completely baffled by Laurie Metcalf. I've seen her on stage (wonderful) and in other TV/movies (very watchable), but on The Conners she enters yelling, yells a bunch, makes giant muggy faces, and yells. And this was a lauded role of hers?
The 20+-year-old scene with Clooney suggests that Aunt Jackie was once a recognizably human character. If Metcalf is now just phoning it in at top volume and picking up a paycheck, it's not a crime, but I'm glad to know this wasn't always the case.

Oh how we miss Cool Aunt Jackie. She was more together than Roseanne in a lot of ways and she lived on her own, saved money and loaned Dan and Roseanne money on more than one occasion. I think it was the Tom Arnold influence turned her into Wacky Jackie.

But they have never been good with money. Jackie more then likely put it into the restaurant. Dan is paying most if not all of the bills so his money probably was gone the minute he got it. Darlene and Ben more then likely put it into their paper idea. Becky into her daughter and hiding Emilio.

I enjoyed the episode, though any Covid-related storylines are not going to be an easy watch while the pandemic is still happening. It may be a comedy, but this show was always bittersweet
i hate to say it but John Goodman's weight loss didn't do him any favors. He didn't look well last season and he doesn't look well now
i cringed at seeing the baby on set. That can't be safe for her
i loved the George Clooney callback scene. I agree that Jackie isn't written well these days

Discussion in 'Mod Support' started by bmb, August 17, 2016.
Tinkering a bit with the AI, trying to pull it back to some more basic builds, I don't seem to understand how the build conditions are supposed to work. For example, if a test "NeedsXFactory" is used, it never seems to build any of that factory. The same seems to hold for desire. If desire is the only build condition extractors never get built. Generator desire seem to work, but only slightly. Yet, I am given the impression that need is used by the AI personality to decide how many of a kind of factory to build, with the default preferring vehicle over other types? The only other interpretation for need I can think of is if some kind of planner has decided that it wants to build X unit and that unit comes from X factory, which would then result in a single factory being built. But not even that seems to happen most of the time.
I guess I also don't understand how multiple build condition objects ,, are supposed to work. It seems that only the first conditions are evaluated. If the need condition is put first, then it never passes. But the default AI files have several, sometimes many build condition objects on a single build. I assumed if one of them passed then it would be built, allowing for different conditions for the same build. But there must be either more to it, or it just doesn't work and can in fact take only one build condition object and sorian just made a mistake here? That seems unlikely, but it could be a bug.
Firstly, let me check whether you've read my guide on building an AI?
Needs are tied into the percentage distributions in the AI personality file. If it wants 20% bots and 80% vehicles and it has one of each then the vehicle factory need is true while bot need is false. When all factories are 0 then it will start with the factory with the highest percentage, so if you've pared it down to bots only then it won't work using these tests because vehicles have the highest percentage. I never used these tests myself so this is based on what Sorian said about them. Make sure you're using valid tests.
Desire is true when a CanAffordBuildDemand check failed. It sets it true for the resource type it couldn't afford.
The AI works through each block in the order you put the tests, and if one test returns FALSE then it moves to the next block. You should put the cheap tests at the top (boolean) and expensive tests at the bottom (finding build location). If all tests in a block return TRUE then the item is built.
Okay so I've done some additional tests. And need seems to fire in exactly one condition only, when there are no other factories. So it will build the first factory of the appropriate type and then none others even while it is floating massive amounts of resources. It does seem to fall through properly now so I'm not sure what went wrong earlier. The other case is for advanced factories which seems to fire when there is none of that type of factory, where for the basic ones it appears to be shared. This is probably not the intended behavior.
In any case the need test is useless for letting the AI personality distribute the amount of factories right now. Not sure how else to handle it although I saw that queller had some factory specific personalities? I might have a look at how you did that.
It does explain why the current AI seems oddly air happy, even though the default personality has a very small air weight. And the only reason any factories get built at all in the default profile is because the singular test in each build that tests for need = false.
Someone should probably tell sorian his thing is broken.
I'll document needFactory in the Strategic Manager when I restart on PA which may not be for a while.
Thank you for looking into it. I'm also still confused about what the multiple blocks of tests are actually supposed to do. Some enlightenment in that area would be nice too.
Right, I guess I got confused because in the standard files that's usually implemented as several independent builds. So I thought there was something more to the test blocks.
Are you sure that's a "if not then" and not an "and then"? Is the second block only supposed to be evaluated if the first one fails?
They'll be implemented as separate blocks primarily when you want multiple priorities e.g. responding to a threat versus anticipating one, or if you want to change where it's built. Queller has, for example, multiple Umbrella builds at Uber level. It has one for protecting the Commander, one for protecting key installations, one for locking down the planet, etc. All of them have different priorities and placement rules.
Okay. logical or. got it. thanks. Still not sure how that explains the first block seemingly blocking the second when I tested it.
I think it's worth bumping to point out that this is still not fixed.
NeedBasicXFactory and DesireX tests ALWAYS fail.
I figured it out only because there is only one build in the default AI files that has it the right way, all the rest are wrong. with this a minimal desire and need only ai works.
While there does seem to be an issue with the Need tests for factories, all removing the boolean does is cause the test to be passed every time.
Actually, an additional test suggests this *might* be caused by basic_to_advanced_factory_ratio being set to 0.
EDIT: Yep, that's totally the cause.

You may easily talk to the team member of HitBTC who is quite affable and knows the working tactics to sort out your all problem.
To recover your password problems in. Quicken for Windows or Mac, you can take an assist from the highly-skilled advisors who are happy to attend you.
and know all the possible tricks to swipe the errors immediately.


When you start the work on eyebrow, your start it with light hand before pack on the product will save from panic, when you have to makeup wife to all the hard work. The darkened eyebrows are elegant and noticeable and if swipe on product in one swoop, they can happen easily rather than use the little strokes to emulate the hair.
The brow products can be excellent and you face with choices of gel, pencil, powder or wax, you do not know from where to turn. If you use the natural, then gel will be helpful with two-in-one effect and your brows need more caring and the pencil is the great option for it.
There are the sparse spots to prevent from existing hair to get too unruly. If you have thin eyebrows or you want to get bold brows, the brow pencil is best product and most of the beauticians use it to get more and more benefits. The brow pencils are great to add hair like strokes to make the appearance of brows fluffy and full.
The women should follow the natural shape and you can have illusion of higher arch or more defined shape. You can also create the brow shape, which is natural for your face and try the old diagonal trick. The arch should occur at end of straight and diagonal line, which can extend nostril through pupils and way to the eyebrow.
You can hold makeup brush or straight object to face and create the line. This trick works to find end of tail to eye brow and shift the diagonal line, which goes from nostril to outer corner of eye to the brow and the line passes through end of your brow.
The products, which you use on the skin around brows, they pop up the brows and below on the brow bone, which is old and trusty technique to add some dimension. When you woke up, your brows look flawless and you should avoid super glittery or sparkly highlighters. The cosmopolitan recommends the lighter concealer to use in order to outline brows. You can get brightening effect without making them obvious.
Your brows are not two solid blocks on the face and they are made with little hair. When you are putting on gel or pencil or brow product, you make sure it will give natural brow hairs and it is easy to blend the product right. After application of product, take the brush and spoolie through brows to break up product from clumping hair together and remove obvious lines.


I was shocked when I was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor right before my 50th birthday. My doctor told me to get my affairs in order as I might have nine months to a year to live. That was over 14 years ago! My first surgery was ten hours long and removed my pancreas, gall bladder, spleen as well as two-thirds of my stomach and parts of my intestine. When some doctors see me now they are the ones that are shocked!
I did a lot of what traditional medicine could offer, but I also opened myself up to healing through complementary medicine. I believe my willingness to explore and take risks with different paths towards healing is some of why I am alive today.
Making art and being creative has also been one of the most important parts of my treatment. Early in the journey, I walked into a cancer art program and the teacher told me to draw every day. I told her that I didn't draw. The teacher handed me some colored pens and said, "Just do it." So I began to draw and everything started to flow. You can see some of my art in my picture.
Soon after my recovery from the initial surgery, I attended nutritional school and started to share my knowledge with others who had cancer that were facing a medical system that didn't offer much in the way of nutritional support. I have a lot of information about this kind of tumor and share it with people all around the country.
Early on I made a decision that I wanted to walk the path toward dying with an open heart and face this head-on. Dealing with significantly rearranged plumbing has been quite a challenge especially in those first few years, but I just keep picking myself up after every fall.
Even though I have had three ablations, the cancer in my liver has grown, so after much research, I have turned to a radiation treatment only offered in Europe that holds out possibilities for decreasing the size of the tumors. The only problem is that the medical and travel costs of each trip are very high. So a friend helped me start a fundraising campaign with a website devoted just to raising medical expenses. It is not just raising the money that has been such a gift -- it is receiving caring and support from people from many different parts of my life. Even guys from my high school basketball team have contacted me!
My best wishes to all of my fellow survivors!

But did you know that back in the day, the man was a WWE superstar who ~electrified~ his millions and millions of fans with the help of a charismatic eyebrow.
That's right...The People's Eyebrow.
Yes, that's what he called it because it belonged to the people...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This eyebrow commanded respect from arenas all over the world, and made plenty of knees weak in the process.
Look at all that sensual cockiness packed into a single strip of hair.
Look at the beautiful manliness above his right eye.
Look at the fierce intensity of that supercilium that's often imitated but never duplicated.
LOOK 👏 AT 👏 IT 👏
So, all that's left to ask is...can you smell it?
CAN YOU SMELL IT???
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'?!?!?!?!?!
The answer is yes.
So, what do you think? Is The People's Eyebrow the best eyebrow you've ever seen in your life?
Wait. I still can't smell what The Rock is cookin'. WHAT IS HE COOKIN'???

Claire Rice's Enemey's List: When a Theatre Goes Co-Op
Jul31 by sftheaterpub
Claire Rice on how Thunderbird Theatre Company becomes a Cooperative Corporation…tell your enemies!
Thunderbird Theatre Company has been producing original comedy in the Bay Area since 1998. We specialize in mash-up style storylines where the good guys are wondering idealists and the bad guys come with a posy of henchman. I say "we" because I have been working with Thunderbird Theatre Company since 2006's "Release the Kraken", a take-off on Kevin Smith's "Clerks" and the 1981 classic "Clash of the Titans". I played Andromeda, who was from the Ukraine and ends up in the Princess Leia gold bikini at the end of the show.
No, really. THE gold bikini!
Over the years Thunderbird Theatre Company has brought together some exceptionally talented people to do some exceptionally silly and entertaining theatre. A long the way we've also grown up, bought houses, started careers, gotten married, had children and done all the things that people do as they grow older.
We also came to the realization that if we wanted to keep doing what we loved (namely have as much fun on stage as we could) we would need to re-organize ourselves.
I sat down with long time Thunderbird Christine McClintock to talk about Thunderbird, what it means to be a Cooperative Corporation, lost doubloons, gigglebones and other very adult things.
What is Thunderbird Theatre Company?
Christine: After a yearlong hiatus from production, we have been reorganized as a California Cooperative Corporation named The Bird Empire, doing business as The Thunderbird Theatre Company.
If Thunderbird wasn't a business before, what was it for 16 years?
Christine: Thunderbird was definitely a business, and everything we did was totally and completely legit… as far as anyone knows. (You'll never find our doubloons, Marx!)
We were previously a sole proprietorship. This meant that most of the liability for the business fell on one person. Aside from this being incongruous with our operating structure and ideals, it made for some awkward situations, such as the predicament of divulging an individual's social security number on behalf of the company.
Why a co-op and not a non-profit (or sole proprietorship or llc, etc.)?
Christine: The reasons behind the decision to reform as a Cooperative Corporation are threefold.
Ideologically, we do not fit the parameters of a 501(c)(3) organization. Those requirements being:
"…charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals."
Making silly plays with your friends, for your other friends to come see is not a legally recognized tax-exempt purpose. Whether or not it should be is a worthy conversation for another time and place. Quite simply, we did not want to be beholden to these requirements set forth by a governmental agency, or contort our activities to fit these stipulations.
Secondly, we wanted to formalize and equitably divide our financial contributions. For the majority of our years as a company, we have operated at a loss. This loss will now be evenly distributed across the company members so that each individual pays their fair share – and only their fair share. It's our hope that in the future, we will turn a profit on each production, and in turn, those profits will be equally distributed among the company members.
Finally, we felt we wanted our structure to continue to be horizontal. We do embrace the fact that no "leaderless" organization is ever fully so, but our current configuration lets us both play to our individual strengths while leaving space for us to rotate responsibilities, recruit fresh voices, and provide opportunities for newcomers.
We felt the best match for these three primary philosophies is the cooperative model.
The meetings will look like this, but with more cheese and puns.
Can you still do fundraising (like Kickstarter or Grants)?
Christine: Yes and no… and maybe… and yes again.
Many grants require a 501(c)(3) status or fiscal sponsorship to determine eligibility, so we would only be able to apply to grants to do not require such a status – like TBA's CA$H grants. We're honest with ourselves that we're not the kind of organization that most grantors are looking to fund at the moment. We're making art for ourselves, and grantmakers tend to look to size and area of impact. We tend to only impact gigglebones.
Kickstarter and Indiegogo, on the other hand, do not require an organization to be a non-profit in order to launch a campaign. We need to be clear with our donors (Kickers and Go-goers) that contributions made to Thunderbird are not tax deductible.
We are still a corporate entity though, and as such, we are only eligible to receive funds that are related to our business. Donations not directly related to goods or services, therefore may trigger an audit or a revocation of our corporate approval. That being said, the rules governing such things are, (for better or worse), more flexible than they may appear.
How does being a co-op change how you make decisions?
Christine: The great thing about being a cooperative is that our decision-making process hasn't caused us to change drastically. In fact, it highlights a track record of decision-making that has already been mostly democratic. Writing our bylaws helped us to clean up some of the specifics of administering an arts organization such as what denotes a quorum, how will we decide what will be our next production, etc.
The overarching precept is equality: one member, one vote.
Also, standard shotgun-calling rules apply.
Do you know how this will affect your future?
Christine: Some guy named Commodore briefly mentioned something about our membership growing, creating more content, experimenting online, and sometime in the very, very distant future, we will acquire our own space, perhaps in the East Bay.
Where should people go if they are interested in getting involved?
You can write to any of the current members, respond to this post, or email us here: info@thunderbirdtheatre.com
Right now we're looking for folks who want to be "Collaborators". This is a non-voting level of membership that comes with perks and treats (and responsibility). After a year, "Collaborators" may be invited to be full-voting members, though they may elect to indefinitely remain at the "Collaborators" level and hoard their perks and treats.
Thunderbird Theatre Company's latest comedy "SHOW DOWN!" opens on Friday, August 1, at The EXIT Theatre in San Francisco. Tickets are on sale at Brown Paper Tickets. Please, if you love ThunderbirdTheatre Company tell your friends. And if you don't…tell your enemies!

Rob Ready says:
Congrats to Christine on actually writing the by laws…pretty sure PianoFight has never done this….
Also, GREAT PIECE! Very interesting, and I'd never heard of that model. Thanks for sharing, Claire!
I believe the SF Mime Troupe is a collective, but there aren't a great number of theatre arts organizations that work in that model. We'll see how it goes!

5 Random Facts About TXT's Taehyun That You Might Not Know
There's much more to him than just an incredibly attractive face!
TXT is still a pretty young rookie group, but since they debuted on March 4, 2019, they've really made a name for themselves! All of the members stand out in their own way, but the subject of today's focus in member Taehyun.
As a vocalist, rapper, and dancer of the group, it's already clear that he's very multi-talented! He's more than just musically talented, however — he's also very smart, and has a lot more going for him too! Whether you're already a fan of Taehyun or just want to learn more about him, you should find these 5 facts interesting.
1. He was already famous at a young age.
Before Taehyun even thought about becoming an idol, he was already making a name for himself as a young child! He starred in many commercials, including those for Teun Teun English and Dettol Handwash, and also modeled for PORORO Computer. When he was just 10 years old, he also made an appearance on SBS News. Because of all this, he already had a fan café by 2008, when he was just 6 years old!
2. He's the shortest member in TXT, but…
Taehyun isn't the youngest member of TXT, but he is the shortest, standing at 177cm (or about 5'10"). Of course, this means he is not actually a short person by any means — it's just that the other members of TXT are so incredibly tall! The next shortest is Beomgyu at 180cm (5'11"), followed by Yeonjun at 181.5cm (5'11"), Huening Kai at 183cm (6'0″), and finally Soobin at an incredible 185cm (6'1″).
3. His MBTI personality type is unique in TXT.
As an ESTP, Taehyun is the only member of TXT that has a "T" (or thinking) rather than an "F" (or feeling). He's known to be a very intellectual, straight-forward, and realistic type of guy, so this makes sense! Thinking-type people tend to be more logical and analytical in their decision-making, whereas feeling-type people tend to make decisions based more on feelings, intuition, and emotion.
4. His intelligence is no joke.
Before becoming an idol as a child, Taehyun had dreams of becoming a magician or wizard, which of course isn't really a legitimate occupation, but it showed his interest in that sort of field from a young age. He ended up being incredibly smart, and graduated from his school with the highest GPA in his homeroom. He also took advanced math classes, and was planning on going to a science high school until he became an idol trainee. He's said that if he didn't end up becoming an idol, he likely would have become a professor.
5. He was highly desired among entertainment companies.
At the entrance ceremony for when Taehyun was about to start at Hanlim Arts School, he ended up receiving cards from around 20 different entertainment companies that wanted him to join their trainee programs! He stood out in the crowd because of his natural good looks, which is why he got so many offers. Even after he ended up choosing BigHit Entertainment, companies still tried to get him to join them instead!
Hopefully you learned something new about Taehyun today!

Two NYC Residents Killed by Drunk Driver in Clifton Park
by StolzenbergCortelli, LLP | Jun 6, 2019 | Firm News, Motor Vehicle Accidents
A drunk driver from Cohoes killed two New York City residents and seriously injured two others when he plowed into their car while they were stopped for a traffic light.
The car accident occurred at the intersection of Route 9 and Usher Road in Clifton Park, NY. Police have charged the 58-year old driver with driving while intoxicated as well as aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular manslaughter. The driver is being held without bail despite his attorney's description of his service in the U.S. Army, including seven deployments and being awarded a Bronze Star.
Aggravated vehicular homicide carries a potential sentence of up to 25 years in prison. This severe charge comes from the charge of drunk driving resulting in more than one death.
Drunk Driving Continues To Take a Toll on New York Roads
In 2017, 295 people were killed in our state in accidents that involved a driver who was intoxicated, with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more. This total represents 30% of the total accident fatalities – almost one-in-three was killed by a drunk driver. Although this result seems better than that of our neighbor Connecticut, where 43% of traffic fatalities were caused by drunk drivers, the number is far too high – especially because these deaths are preventable. (statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA)
New York State Assembly Wants To Lower the Threshold for Drunk Driving Arrests
Our State Assembly has proposed a bill that would lower the legal BAC from 0.08 to 0.05 for driving under the influence of alcohol. The bill also contains language that would lower the limit for aggravated driving while intoxicated from 0.18 to 0.12.
Currently under consideration in the New York Senate Transportation Committee, the legislation, if approved, would make New York the second state along with Utah to lower the drunk driving BAC level to 0.05.
The National Transportation Safety Board urges all states to adopt this standard to reduce crashes and save lives.

NCCHC Resources, Inc., provides technical and strategic consulting services to all types of correctional health systems and programs.
With its roots in the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, NCCHC Resources offers unparalleled breadth, depth, experience and perspective to tackle the intricacies of this complex field. Our customers seek training, strategic guidance, subject matter expertise and technical assistance with health care-related issues. Recent projects include:
Comprehensive review of health care services with targeted recommendations for improvement
Focused analysis of nonemergency health care services at a high-security prison
Assessment of a large jail system's readiness for an accreditation survey, including on-site assessments at the system's many sites and crucial feedback
Development of large and complex RFPs for health services
collaborative compliance
A large urban county has retained NCCHC Resources to help navigate the complexities of providing medical, dental and mental health care to the thousands of individuals within its complex correctional system.
As the county's contract with a private correctional health services provider was nearing its end, NCCHC Resources consultants were brought in to the county jail and House of Correction to conduct an on-site analysis of the care provided, with a goal of improving quality and continuity. The consultants, experts in correctional health care with decades of NCCHC experience, worked with the county to develop an RFP for a new health services contract, ensuring that requirements for bidders and the subsequent contract were complete and thorough. They also conducted an analysis of proposed staffing positions to ensure that professionals with appropriate licenses and credentials were hired, and provided ongoing support throughout the RFP process.
In addition, the county issued an RFP for an independent third-party monitor to assess compliance with the terms of the contract. NCCHC Resources won that RFP, and was hired to monitor the care provided through the health services contactor.
Ongoing oversight is multifaceted and includes analyzing clinical, fiscal and related data to assess performance of provider duties under the health services contract; supporting alignment and continuous compliance with the NCCHC standards; providing health services personnel with technical support aimed at continuous quality improvement; and being responsive to the county and its provider as they strive to meet the challenging health needs of incarcerated patients.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, the county board committed to bringing health care operations in-house, to be provided by county employees, by 2021. The county executive then enlisted NCCHC Resources to complete a comprehensive self-operation implementation analysis, including analysis of the required services, staffing, equipment, IT services and associated costs.
OPIOID USE DISORDER TRAINING
One county jail made a smart move in the fight against opioid addiction: The Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center hired NCCHC Resources to teach staff members about medication-assisted treatment in the correctional setting.
The all-day, interactive training seminar at the North Charleston, SC, jail included information on the scope of the opioid problem, the role of MAT in treatment and approaches to MAT. The presenters also provided an in-depth review of NCCHC's Standards for Opioid Treatment Programs in Correctional Facilities and explained how to establish a successful OTP using the Standards.
With an average daily population around 1,300, Al Cannon is not a huge jail. The leadership knows, however, how important it is for the staff to understand the most current thinking in how to treat inmates with opioid use disorder. "With the increase in opioid use in our community and the great risk for return to use or overdose after release from detention, we feel it is critical that MAT be implemented in the detention center," says Chanda Brown, PhD, LMSW, director of the Charleston Center, the county's public health provider. "It's the right thing to do medically and it could potentially save lives."
NCCHC is the only corrections-specific organization that is federally authorized to accredit opioid treatment programs.
specialized correctional expertise
When Navigant Consulting needed to conduct a benchmarking study of costs in correctional health care systems, the firm turned to NCCHC Resources for its unique expertise.
Seeking state-to-state comparisons of correctional health care practices, staffing and utilization of services, Navigant, a large health care consulting firm, enlisted NCCHC Resources for specialized correctional knowledge, perspective and insight. Our expertise and Navigant's robust health care analytic skills combined to create a comprehensive study of information from seven state departments of corrections. Our consultants facilitated communications with those states' DOCs, developed a detailed data request and partnered with Navigant in the fact-gathering interviews.
The study included detailed information and data on health-care staffing and costs; health care utilization by inmates; use of telemedicine to treat patients; private vendors used to provide medical, behavioral health and pharmacy services; electronic health record system use; pharmacy models and costs; and hepatitis C treatment guidelines.

Israelis Protest at First Whiff of Netanyahu Plea Deal
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT
The former prime minister is facing charges in three different cases on fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes.
New Labor Protests Flare in Egypt
REIGNITED
Updated Apr. 24, 2017 4:34PM ET / Published Feb. 14, 2011 11:56AM ET
For a moment on Monday, Cairo's Tahrir Square was nearly empty of protesters, who had largely gone home for the first time in weeks after successfully ousting President Hosni Mubarak. But demonstrations flared again Monday as Egyptian workers rallied against labor conditions, demanding better pay and other workers' rights. Military leaders, now in charge of the government for a provisional six-month period, urged the protesters to go home and get back to work, but hundreds still filed into Tahrir Square to take up their cause.

Just once, I'd like to experience alternate reality. It'd be so cool. Its applications easily transform a life of drudgery into one of utter convenience and comfort.
Need a vacation? Press capital "A" and "R" and "enter" on the keyboard. And there you are, adrift on a tranquil otherworldly beach, fingers tracing a path in the water as you doze contentedly on a bamboo raft. The best part is, it doesn't cost you a cent. Only a bit of a time share of the brain is all that's needed for a quick and secure purchase.
A teenaged daughter melts down in the throes of a mind-bending temper tantrum, the cause of which is as remote and unidentifiable as the chances of the United States winning the World Cup. Tap the keys and gently glide her towards the closet et voila! She vanishes into an alternate reality where organization, good grades and a clean bedroom floor rule the culture.
Or the unreasonable boss whose unending, bellicose rants that spew unfathomable opinions regarding what's possible and what isn't, and invariably differs from yours, everyone else's and even the client: an accidentally-on-purpose keyboard maneuver zaps the offending creature-person into a universe filled with vegetarian peace mongers whose lives are governed by reason and silent meditation.
Sending people off into ARs is terrifically, wonderfully cathartic. If one had the will to jettison any nasty, reprehensible being into a space-time continuum that requires that person to experience/do what only the reaches of fantasy could dream up, prisons would be a thing of the past.
AR isn't necessarily punishment for evil. It's also a reward for good. The desperate street person stands in a lush, vibrant Eden after offering assistance to a stranger. A poor young mother struggling with an empty refrigerator and bank account suddenly grapples with luxury in a 110-roomed mansion, complete with a safe stuffed with cash hidden behind a library portrait.
One often sees ARs pop up in science fiction. Alternative worlds, even universes exist, habituated with mirror versions of ourselves living lives alien to our own. Trouble is, where are these places? Presently, we can't seem to determine how our own universe came into being, let alone figure out its size. Where are we supposed to locate a portal to the plane of existence that remedies, curses, challenges or accentuates the very qualities humans of Earth lack or ignore?
It's around someplace. It has to be. I have about 30 socks waiting to join their partners there.
Hooray for America! Tomorrow is Independence Day, otherwise known as The Fourth of July. It's a big deal in this part of the world, mainly because we get the day off, drink beer, eat BBQ and shoot off fireworks in the hope that the cops won't show up and have you arrested for setting fire to the neighbor's roof.
July 4th has always been about fireworks of a sort, especially when the aliens come and visit. You never know what they have up their sleeve, those sneaky gits. Take, for example, the well-regarded film, "Independence Day." As pictured above, the aliens had plans about freeing Americans from the slinky tethers of the White House, because they knew to arrive there and blow it up. Out of all the grand buildings dotted across the USA, the aliens carefully researched the most appealing targets and thoughtfully removed them from the map. Intentionally, aliens freed ordinary Americans from the drudgery of law, order and the relative stability of a democratically-elected government…or made a statement about the Tea Party and the Koch brothers.
Aliens, on occasion, are sticky. I could name a whole bunch of films that depict our off-world colleagues as drippy, goo-piles that slurp and ooze. It's never explained why, but I'm certain if a human should, on the brink of death at the alien's hand, mentioned that their acceptability rate would skyrocket if they only dried off a bit, then the inevitable all-Earth obliteration would be so much more palatable. So here's our friend that I'll name Indy, dripping. It could be that the crack in his skull is releasing vital body fluids, or it secretes when harmed/threatened. Either way, it's gross. Stop it, already, before your cred plummets even further!
Often, American presidents are played by grey-haired but dignified old(er) men. Who wasn't impressed with prime-of-his-life, hunky Bill Pullman as the ex-Air Force pilot tackling those nasty aliens? Instead of sitting on his buttocks complaining about the state of things, he went out and did the job himself, just like Obama does when he gets sick of all that congressional shilly-shallying. And yes, he didn't quite get rid of the problem (that was left to Randy Quaid, possessor of a problematic off-camera life), but gee, doesn't he look hot just for trying?
What sci-fi film would be complete without data…or Data? Playing against type, Brent moved away from his android role in ST: TNG to this guy. Here's something a few of you might not have known: around the same time (or at least the same decade), he appeared on Broadway in the play, "1776," which is also about American independence. I went. Even took my parents. And damn, he was good. The man can sing!
Because this is an American film using an American holiday as its title, America is entitled, so to speak, to claim the victory. While three-quarters of the planet's wiped out, Americans came in and saved the day! Woo hoo!
So what are you going to do tomorrow? My suggestion: watch completely predictable, over-the-top, stereotyped-rife Independence Day. What better way to celebrate?
And you don't even need to be an American to do so.
With kids and cute aliens helping out each other again this summer, I'd thought I'd focus on a few past endeavors by Hollywood that exploits children for the greater good of the alien's quest to rule the planet, or at least have some practical use for it. Generally, all the aliens wind up doing is using the kids (or their friends/family) to stick it to the man, break laws, wreak havoc and make a positive, heartwarming impression on the kid(s) that will guide them through the rest of their lives.
Quick! Name five films wherein aliens and kids meet up, bond and learn important life lessons that will guide them through their formative year and beyond. Name two wherein Devil's Tower figures prominently.
1) E.T. – An obvious choice, eh? Such a story: a lonely kid from a broken marriage meets up with an ugly-but-cute alien who is also a fugitive from those nasty government people. After a few tentative missteps, alien and kid learn a few things off of each other and discover that being different has its assets. Older brother totally embraces the outlaw aspect of harboring said fugitive, gets friends on board to skirt the law after a scary brush with it, then everyone goes on a quasi-high speed dodge-'em bike chase to lose the cops and send E.T. back to the planets. It's a heartwarming tale meant to leave the viewer with a warm, glowing feeling…just like the pulsating chest of E.T. Kids also learn the value of sticking it to The Man by learning that all government officials are evil, hostile sorts who have absolutely no business wondering just exactly what kind of being from another planet goes after young innocents and teaches them how to get away with breaking nation security protocols.
3) The Day the Earth Stood Still – Little Bobby Benson's Dad died in World War II, and Klaatu/Mr. Carpenter's just the guy who'll show him not only how to improve his math skills, but nuclear bombs are a bad idea because if anyone on Earth's ever going to use them, Klaatu's going to teach all those naughty, nasty Earthlings a big lesson they'll never forget. The government's going after Klaatu, so he uses Bobby's mom Helen as his ticket to freedom and get back to Gort and that big ship sitting on the President's Park ellipse. Kids learn that while they might be able to skirt the law together with their new-found alien friend, their parents might.
4) Mars Attacks! – Now, these are teenagers that wind up being victorious in the end. What's cool about this one is Natalie Portman, as the president's daughter Taffy Dale, winds up giving Lukas Haas, another teenager, the Medal of Honor, all because Slim Whitman yodeling makes the Martians heads explode. There really is no law to skirt here, but if nothing else, the cheese factor's on overload, with Tom Jones providing plenty of it for the film. Natalie Portman would go on to play Padmé Amidala in the "first three episodes" of Star Wars films.
5) Paul – This one's a bit of a stretch, but Paul landed on Tara Walton's dog, who was stigmatized her entire life and called a freak because she met a real alien and no one believed her. A child at the time, she suffered insults from other kids thinking she was a reclusive nut case, which she did become. In the end, we find out that she isn't really skirting the law, only trying to have a wonderful adventure to make up for the rotten hand that Paul dealt her by helping him escape the G-men out to nab Paul for the Big Guy. One can only imagine the misadventures that lie ahead for both she and her old friend, Paul. And yes, they go to Devil's tower, where everyone know aliens go for a good time.
So. What's your favorite child & alien film?

Firebird is a relational database system, that suppports most ANSI SQL features. The open source project started in the year 2000 based on the source code of Borland InterBase. Firebird uses a free license, which also allows unlimited usage and distribution in commercial projects. Starting with a small embedded version up to the full featured server version available for Windows, Linux, Mac, Sun, etc., it can be easilly included in distributed applications. Holger gives an overview about customer projects where Firebird is used and the new Firebird driver available in Delphi 2010. You also get an overview about important features like stored procedures, triggers, views, hardware requirements, administration, scalability, differences from InterBase, MySQL and Postgresql, etc.
Multi-threading technologies are coming to the spotlight thanks to the significant advantage they can give applications running on multi-core CPUs. This presentation covers the Delphi TThread class, details advantages and problems of multi-threaded applications (including synchronization issues), and shows in practice how to speed up some processing tasks. Examples will focus on handling pure CPU/memory-bound processing, database-related operations, and Internet-based requests.
There are still a lot of applications around which use the BDE and Paradox to store data. Due to the fact that direct file access can be over the network, index and data corruption is a common problem. In addition, PC-based data access in a multi-user environment can be very slow. Both issues can be solved by implementing a Client/Server Database Management System (DBMS). Classically, migrating an existing application to a DBMS could be very difficult. In this session, see just how easy it is to move your existing BDE/Paradox application to client/server using Advantage Database Server and Delphi.

The session shows how you should write your code in such way that it can be localized. Code enabling makes your code language independent. Resourcing removes all hard-coded strings from your code. Rework your user interface to make it easier to localize. Finally, you can choose the initial language that your application uses when it starts.
This session shows how to build a WCF service with Delphi Prism and how it can be consumed by two client applications built with Delphi Prism and Win32. The Win32 client has been built with the VCL for the Web and integrates with Silverlight.
Delphi developers can choose between many databases on the market for their database-applications. Embarcadero offers InterBase and BlackfishSQL - both are great products. Many Delphi developers are facing the fact though, that they have to support one of the "big players" with their application. Oracle is used very often in big environments and then it's good when the developer can say: "Oracle database, no problem." This session opens the door to this database, explain the basics, what is different from smaller databases and how the databases tools from Embarcadero can help you to produce an excellent product in a very efficient way with Delphi for Oracle databases.
Message Queuing is a reliable way for applications to communicate with each other, especially in environments where applications or communications might not be 100% reliable. This session shows you how to use the leading open source ActiveMQ with Delphi.

Apps, websites track sex offenders in your neighborhood
Posted: Oct 24, 2013 8:27 PM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 1:26 PM EST
LAPORTE COUNTY, Ind. -- The LaPorte County Sheriff's Department wants to make sure parents know how to keep their children safe on Halloween. The Department of Justice estimates 80-percent of all addresses have at least one sex offender living within a mile. Parents need to know how to keep their kids away from those locations.
Halloween is a time for fun.
But for many parents, the scary parts of the holiday are very real.
"This time of year is the one time of year it's acceptable to go to a complete stranger's home and knock on that door," said Major John Boyd of the LaPorte County Sheriff's Office.
Police say it is important you know who lives in the homes where your children are going to Trick or Treat.
"It's important to arm yourself with information about that stranger before kids are put in a situation where it could be harmful," said Boyd.
In LaPorte County there are over 200 registered sex offenders.
"You don't know what's going to happen," said Renee Klementzos.
Are registered sex offenders allowed to pass out candy on Halloween night?
"They're all allowed to pass out candy, unless they're prohibited by terms of their probation, but there's nothing in Indiana code that prohibits them from passing out candy," said Boyd.
That means it's up to parents to know which houses you want your children to avoid.
You can visit your local sheriff's office website for a complete list of sex offenders who live near you.
"It's referred to as offender watch and you can locate specifically here in LaPorte County through LaPorteCountySheriff.com," said Boyd.
You can also search the registry here
There are also several apps you can use to locate registered sex offenders.
