"My problem with classifications is that they don’t last; hardly have I finished putting things into an order before that order is obsolete. Like everyone else, I presume, I am sometimes seized by a mania for arranging things. The sheer number of the things needing to be arranged and the near-impossibility of distributing them according to any truly satisfactory criteria means that I never finally manage it, that the arrangements I end up with are temporary and vague, and hardly any more effective that the original anarchy"

"What makes me sad is my creeping awareness that, sooner or later - sooner that I am ready to admit - I will integrate myself into a new community, forgetting and forgotten by the place that now means so much to me. In short , what makes me sad is the awareness that I will lose my desire for (what is now) my home."
-SZ

What makes me sad is my creeping awareness that, sooner or later - sooner that I am ready to admit - I will integrate myself into a new relationship, forgetting and forgotten by the woman that has ment so much to me. In short, what makes me sad is the awareness that I will lose my desire for (whom is now) my woman.

Sex between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman
- Woody Allen

There is no direct, unmediated relation between the male and female sexual position, because the Other of language stands between them as a third party

White rim with Warsaw theme (beamer ~ latex)

Problem:

Notice the white rim appearing on the left. A quick (but not the most elegant) solution to this is to edit the theme file used by Warsaw.

Open the tex\latex\beamer\themes\outer directory and (after backing up), edit:

beamerouterthemeshadow.sty

In the

\defbeamertemplate*{frametitle}{shadow theme}

block, find the following line:

\hskip-\Gm@lmargin\hbox{%

and add an hskip, for me -0.05ex worked:

\hskip-\Gm@lmargin\hskip-0.05ex\hbox{%

Well, it's a long, long time

From May to December.

But the days grow short,
When you reach September

And the days dwindle down

To a precious few
September, November..
