Waiter, There Is Some jQuery In My jLinq…
jLinq occasionally gets confused as a plug-in for jQuery. Unfortunately, jLinq doesn't do much to help performing queries in jLinq. I've written some extension methods before to help link the two together but they were packaged with other projects (and not really ever released)
So this weekend I put together a few helpful extension methods and released them on GitHub.
Naturally, you'll need the core jLinq library and the jLinq.jQuery library along with jQuery. Since a lot of jQuery uses chained methods you'll need to use the special invoke syntax for jLinq queries (just an array).
Here are some of the commands you can use.
jlinq.$([selector]): Starts a new query from
document.bodywith the starting selector (if any).
$(selector).query([selector]): Starts a new query from the current jQuery object. Allows an optional selector.
.include(selector, [jQuery Object]): Includes the matches of the provided selector into the current query. You can use a different jQuery object as the source (otherwise it defaults to the object that started the query).
.get([selector]): Converts the current matches in the query to a jQuery object. Allows an optional selector to further filter the results.
Just as a reminder, in order to invoke methods within a query you need to use an array where the first value is the name of the method and following values are the arguments. These arguments are all where the field name would normally be. Here are a few examples in case you need them.
//Example 1: Non-method query jlinq.from(data).contains( "fieldName", //the field to pull the value from "check for this" //the argument for contains ); // Example 2 : No arguments // function test() { ... } jlinq.from(data).contains( ["test"], //no arguments, but still an invoke "check for this" //the argument for contains ); // Example 3 : With arguments // function test(arg1, arg2) { ... } jlinq.from(data).contains( ["test", 33, false], //the method with arguments "check for this" //the argument for contains );
So what do these new methods look like? Well here are a few examples to get you started!
//finds all .result elements containing red or green //and is also case-insensitive jlinq.$("div.results") .contains(["text"], "red") .or("green") .get() .appendTo(document.body); //finds all links pointing to MP3 files then sorts and styles them var mp3Links = jlinq.$("a") .endsWith(["attr","href"], ".mp3") .sort(["text"]) .get() .css({ color:"#f00", fontWeight:"bold" }); //highlights all of the matching markup with 'Joe Smith' $("div.result").query() .contains(["html"], "Joe Smith") .each(function(rec) { var markup = rec.html() .replace(/Joe Smith/g, "Joe Smith"); rec.html(markup); });
Now you can enjoy the awesomeness of jQuery along with the semi-usefulness of jLinq! You have access to 'or'-ing, case insensitivity, sorting — It is all there!
This code is all brand new so I don't recommend using it anywhere important just yet, but it is fun to see how jLinq can make queries a little bit easier.
jsshell – Reputable Software??
Yes, it seems impossible so I took a screenshot. My little jsshell project has made it onto a pretty 'notable' list of Google extensions.
If you don't know what jsshell then you might watch the introduction screencast.
Well… yeah, it isn't spelled correctly… but I promise it is the same one.
In any case, you can check out the list on the Google site for yourself and possibly pick up some of the other awesome plugins while you're at it. Don't wait too long since it is only a matter of time before they realize their mistake 🙂
So, what better way to celebrate than to go ahead and open-source the code?
As usual, you'll find my code out on git-hub, since its, ya'know, awesome… GitHub that is…

CobaltMVC and Custom Selectors
CobaltMVC is a server side templating framework that behaves just like jQuery for your Views. CobaltMVC also works in WebForms.
CobaltMVC supports a variety of CSS selectors including pseudo and attribute matching. To keep things flexible, I've made it so that you can create or overwrite anything built-in. This post we discuss how to create your own for your project.
Right now, if you wanted to select all of the even rows in a table then you could use the pseudo selector…
this.Find("table > :even");
Cool, but what if we wanted to create our own? Here is an example of a selector that finds 'numeric' HTML elements.
//called once to add it to the project CobaltManagement.RegisterCustomPseudoSelector( "numeric", //the name of the selector :numeric (nodes, argument) => { //the comparison to use decimal container = 0; return nodes.Where(node => decimal.TryParse(node.InnerText.Trim(), out container)); }); //then used from our pages like... this.Find(":numeric");
You'll notice there are two arguments for the method you provide – First is a list of the available nodes to compare against. The second is an optional 'argument' string. The method should return a list of nodes that should be kept in the selection.
And the argument? That is an optional value in case you want it included in your selector. A good example of using the argument is the
nth pseudo selector which returns every x number item.
//Everything within the parens is included as part of the argument this.Find(":nth(4)");
Note: The argument is passed as a string so you'll need to perform any parsing before you begin using the value.
Attribute selectors match against the attributes of the HTML elements. CobaltMVC checks the values and makes sure that two string are passed (even if they are empty), but any additional parsing needs to be done as part of the method.
That said, the method you use to perform the comparison is slightly different.
CobaltManagement.RegisterCustomAttributeSelector( "%", //the prefix to use for the selector @attr%='value' (argument, value) => argument.Equals(value, StringComparison.Ordinal)); //the comparison
The special character is what you want to prefix the attribute selector with (if you plan to override the default
= selector then you just pass in an empty string). This needs to be a special character so not to be confused with the name of the attribute.
The comparison method itself is just a pair of strings, the first being the argument provided by the user and the second being the value found on the attribute. If the element doesn't have the matching attribute then it is skipped entirely.
So, we could use the method we created in the example above by using…
Pretty neat!
If you haven't downloaded Cobalt then head out to GitHub and download the code!
CobaltMVC – Custom Controls and Dynamic HTML
CobaltMVC is a server side templating frameworks that works a lot like jQuery. You can use it with both ASP.NET MVC and WebForms – (Watch the introduction video)
So far all of the CobaltMVC examples that have been posted have involved selecting existing elements on the page and making changes to them. However, there are times you'd like to generate new elements or wrap the same markup in a reusable control and attach it to the page.
Controls in CobaltMVC are just CobaltElements with properties and methods that you can use to define the behavior of an element. Because of this, a control can be selected against and modified by external selectors. This means that any control can be adjusted and tweaked for your individual needs.
Want to learn more? Check out the screen cast below that explains some of the interesting things you can do with custom controls and dynamically generated HTML elements.
Cobalt Beta – jQuery Style MVC View Templating!
In a recent blog post I shared a preview of the Cobalt project I've been working on. Today, the source code has been uploaded to git-hub and the first beta binaries are being released!
Not sure what Cobalt is? Watch a screencast showing how you can use Cobalt in your MVC projects.
Watch the video now!
If you've seen any of my previous blog posts then you realize I'm not much of a fan of the current way to populate templates in ASP.NET MVC. I've tried a handful of different ways to improve the experience but so far nothing really felt like an improvement.
Cobalt uses CSS selectors to find and update content, much like the way that jQuery works. Cobalt works *with* ASP.NET MVC (and WebForms) so you can include it in an already existing project and use it right away!
So what does Cobalt look like? Here is an example of an MVC View…
<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<ProductDetail>>" %> <% this.Ready(() => { //select by tag names this.Find("form") .Attribute(new { action = this.Url.Action("CheckOut") }); //find and set values for elements string current = this.Find("h3").Text(); this.Find("#title").Text(current.ToUpper()); //select classes and certain pseudo selectors this.Find(".list :even").AddClass("alt-item"); //create new elements on the fly var link = this.Create("") .Text("Read About Us") .Attribute("href", this.Url.Action("AboutUs")); this.Find("p").Append(link); //create custom elements (like CustomControls) Stylesheet sheet = new Stylesheet("~/site.css"); sheet.AddToPage(); }); %>   <title>Sample</title>   <form method="post" >
Temp Title

The description goes here

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

Item 4

Item 5

 </form>
You can see that much like jQuery we have to queue up the work we need to execute once the document is ready.
I have a lot of documentation to write and a lot of screencasts to record, but don't forget about the preview video which should get you started. For now, here are a list of the more important details.
The Important Stuff!
- You must call
CobaltManagement.Initialize()in your Global.asax file in the
Initmethod (just override it and call it).
public override void Init() { base.Init(); CobaltManagement.Initialize(); }
- Cobalt uses HtmlAgilityPack to handle parsing of html content. I'm not happy with the framework so it will be one of the first things to be phased out, but for now you need to make sure to download it if you get the source code instead of the binaries.
- You must use
this.Readyfrom your pages and controls to wrap your commands. Otherwise your commands will run before the document is ready and fail.
- Cobalt is aware of context, so if you use
this.Findwithin a UserControl then you're only going to select elements within that control. If you need to access the Page level from a UserControl then you can call
this.Page.Findto change the scope of the command.
- Cobalt supports a decent amount of selectors. Below is a list of currently available options.
- Combinators: ' ', >, +
- Shortcut Attributes: #elementId, .cssClass, $elementName
- Attribute Matching (ex. [@name='value']): equals (=), starts with (|=), ends with ($=), contains (~=)
- Pseudo: first, last, even, odd, nth(#), lt(#), lte(#), gt(#), gte(#), text, password, button, checkbox, radio, submit, file
Keep in mind this is very much beta code – I was literally working on changes today :). If you're feeling brave then download the source and dig right in!

Cobalt MVC Preview!
Lately, I've been working a lot on my project Cobalt which is, more or less, jQuery for server side ASP.NET MVC views. I've shown some code examples before but today I have a screen cast of some of the code in action.
Hopefully, I'll have some code released in the next week or two, but for now feel free to give thoughts and feedback!
MVC Templating – jQuery Style!
I've messed around with a variety of ways to make MVC templating better but I've never really been satisfied with any of my solutions until now.
One of the things that I really like about jQuery is that it allows for better separation of markup from code since you can use CSS selectors to find and change elements on the page. ASP.NET MVC requires server side blocks of code to be mixed into the markup to display content.
The other day I started working on a new project I've named Cobalt – A jQuery style, context aware templating framework for ASP.NET MVC. I'm not quite ready to release the code but I wanted to share the idea in advance.
Note: When I say "jQuery Style", I mean method chaining with css selectors – You can't use $()… sorry 🙂
Let's pretend we have the following markup
[Index.aspx (Markup)]
<%@ Page ... %>   <title>Untitled</title>
Title

 Previous | Next
Using Cobalt, we can use jQuery style code to select the correct elements and update content in server side code at the top of the view.
[Index.aspx (Server Code)]
//select tags by their names this.Find("h1") .Text("My Page"); //select tags by name this.Find("a") .Attr("href", this.Url.Action(link.Text()) .Css(new { color = "#f00" }); //find by ID this.Find("#back") .Remove(); //use other selectors this.Find(".content > p") .Html(this.Model.PostContent); //select classses and children this.Find(".content > ul") .Remove(); //or perform sub queries this.Find(".content", content => content.Find("strong") .Text(bold.Text().ToUpper()) .AppendTo(content) );
Keep in mind, this code is part of the view and not in a code behind file.
Of course, this view could probably be just as easily updated using a Model and assigning values using server side blocks of code, but consider some of the advantages of keeping our code separated.
- Markup stays free of server side code blocks so it is easier to pull the content from external resources (for example a database)
- If the markup is constantly being changed by another team member (for example a designer) we can avoid tinkering with the new HTML and instead make changes to our selectors (if even needed).
- Many web developers are familiar with CSS selectors – The template could be understood by other team members and developers regardless of programming language choice.
Being Context Aware
The context of a selector is another important part of Cobalt. If you're working in a UserControl you might changes to stay within the context of the control. At the same time, you might want some of your commands to change other parts of the page.
<@ Control ... %>
Latest Tweets

 Follow Me! <% =this.Html.ActionLink("Rendered Link", "Index") %>
When you use the
this.Find(...) command, the actions are queued up and executed only for the calling control. That said, you can use the
this.Page or the
this.Parent properties to change the context (and scope) of a command.
[SomeControl.ascx (Server Code)]
//context stays inside of the UserControl this.Find("ul.tweet-list") .Html(this.Model.Tweets); //context stays inside of the UserControl this.Find("h3") .Text("Follow Me!"); //finds both links (static and rendered) this.Find("a") .Attr("href", this.Url.Action("Home")) .Text("changed!"); //context changes to the page level this.Page.Find("head") .Append(this.Model.Stylesheet); //updates the title in the page this.Page.Find("title") .Text("Changed the title!!"); //never finds the title (context is in the control) this.Find("title") .Text("Title not changed!");
Again, this might be a little extra code in some cases, but we are also able to access elements all over the page without needing to apply special WebControls or wire up to the Page life cycle.
It is worth pointing out that both links will be discovered by the
a selector since the actions aren't actually invoked until after the page is rendered. This means you can use MVC like you normally would and still use Cobalt to find and change elements. In fact, as far as I can tell this should work with WebForms as well as MVC, but I'd have to test it before I could say how well it works.
Work In Progress
This project is only a few days old right now but is already coming along very well. I'll be posting some code soon but till then feel free to share any ideas you have.

How I learned to make an apple pie
One of my resolutions for 2013 was to learn to make an apple pie.
This is how far I got. In March I discovered an interesting book called How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, and put it in my shopping cart on Amazon. Work and then writing consumed most of my attention. Plus, I balked at buying a pie pan which I'd only be using once or twice a year. Not to mention a rolling pin for the pastry.
But then my landlady invited me for Thanksgiving dinner (as she always does, bless her) and I realized I could watch and help her make the apple pie. So I turned up, notebook in hand and asked what the measurements were.
She looked faintly puzzled, reached for a bag of sugar and tossed a handful into a bowl. Flour was meted out in much the same way. I wrote down, "Eyeball it".
Then we peeled a huge bowl of Macintosh apples together. Or at least she used a knife and peeled lovely long coils that she could have tossed over her shoulder to form whole sentences. I brought my vegetable peeler, which carved off little shreddy bits that either kept spattering me or having to be removed from between the two blades.
At least I managed to slice the apples without any difficulty while she rolled out the pastry. Then we piled apples, flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, grated nutmeg and butter into the crust and put the top on. She crimped the two crusts together and I poked a few holes into the top one. It wouldn't have won any pie competitions looks-wise, but it tasted pretty good with ice cream and I got to take a huge slice home as well.
And since I forgot to take a picture of my first pie, here's one of me dressed up for Thanksgiving dinner instead, new haircut and all.

First off, love the new cut. It looks very sophisticated.
Re: apple pie
I had a little old lady teach me. The filling isn't the problem for me. It was the crust.
I learned to always have the water for the crust ice cold (as in have ice cubes in it) and not to overwork the crust.
It takes practice to make it beautiful. Hubby had to settle for edible. LOL.

It's a great feeling to cross a resolution all the list . . . all the more so because it's late in the year and you didn't forget. (I clicked over here from AW, btw. I'm ralf58 there.)
- October 17, 2013 at 10:46 AM
Oh yum! Freshly baked apple pie. I let my husband do that, as I tend to kill certain recipes, unfortunately. (I'm stormie on AW. :) )

Maria - Thank you! I think this is the first time in my life I've looked older than 25.
Of course I shall stay 26 for a very long time.
My landlady uses ice cubes in the water as well. I'm not sure what happens if the water is anything less than freezing.
Hi Ruth! Yes, it's a good feeling. Maybe I should have made more resolutions.
Anne - Hi, Stormie, good to see you here. :) I polished off the last of the pie today. It will be missed.

It's quite the thing to watch someone make an apple pie from scratch, especially without seeming to measure anything. You might try the website Joyofbaking dot com which has a great appled pie recipe. Try making the pie crust with butter which allows one to work the pastry a little more.

Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.
If your days of saying the Texas Pledge fall prior to 2007, you might not remember that "under God" part.
The phrase was added to better mirror the national pledge and "acknowledge our Judeo-Christian heritage," according to the state legislature that voted for the change two years ago.
Just as "under God" has raised First Amendment concerns in the Pledge of Allegiance, Texas parents have filed suit against the new wording.
In a hearing held yesterday in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the state's solicitor general James Ho argued its constitutionality, saying "As the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly acknowledged, reciting the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance is an appropriate and constitutional way to begin each school day on the right note. The Texas Pledge of Allegiance serves precisely the same function– to give students an opportunity to engage in a patriotic acknowledgement of the religious heritage of our state and our nation," according to a Texas Tribune report.
A lower court ruled the pledge did not violate the Establishment Clause, as the parents claim.
Any student can be exempt from reciting the pledge if his parents submit a written request.
David Hopper / For the Chronicle
"Under God" was added to the pledge in 2007, but not all Texas parents are happy about it.

Artists include Bob Powell, Jack Kamen; Briefer, King, Rico and Nordling.
Special Notes: none
For many years, legend had it that Victor Fox was an accountant at DC Comics at the time that SUPERMAN hit the comic book world like an atom bomb, and quit to get in on the goldmine by starting his OWN company, Fox Features Publications. While contemporary researchers seem to have disproven that theory, what IS factual is that Fox WAS one of the first comic book publishers to try to jump whole-hog onto the costumed superhero bandwagon. When Fox's blatant SUPERMAN imitation WONDER MAN was sued out of the lead spot in Wonder World Comics, Fox quickly followed up with a trio of other anthology titles- Weird Comics, Fantastic Comics and Mystery Men, each one carrying a healthy dose of what they called "long underwear characters" at the time. This great collection of all-Fox fun showcases stars from all four books. The BLUE BEEETLE is probably the companies' best-remembered character, and this issue will feature not one but TWO BB stories; one from the companies' early days, as drawn by Larry Antoinette, and a second from the late-1940's Fox "Good Girl Art" period, drawn by future EC great Jack Kamen. Another Fox heavy-hitter was legendary strong-man SAMSON. We'll also have a pair of his adventures, both illustrated by the underrated Al Carreno. The GREEN MASK will be represented as well, with a story originally run in Mystery Men #13. Whacked-out science fiction was also a Fox staple, so we'll include a pair of heroes that meld the hero motif to s-f; STARDUST the SUPER-WIZARD and REX DEXTER, as drawn by a pair of the Golden Age's wildest stylists, Fletcher Hanks and Dick Briefer, respectively. We may throw in SPACE SMITH just for fun, too. Female super-types were NOT commom in the Fox books, but we found two for this volume- MARGA the PANTHER WOMAN and the anti-heroic SORCERESS of ZOOM, both originally seen in Weird Comics. Oddwad Fox "specialist" heroes will be in attendance as well, including the underwater NAVY JONES, mad scientist Dr. MORTAL by Bert Whitman, period paladin The GOLDEN KNIGHT (well-rendered by the enigmatic "Grieg Chapian"), super-spy D-13 (with art and story by Bob Powell) and Klaus Nordling's two-fisted LT. DRAKE. And we CAN'T have an issue of MEN of MYSTERY without debuting at least a couple of NEVER before reprinted heroes, so we'll have a trio of them from the pages of the Fox books this go-around. Originally found in Wonder World, we'll have The BLACK LION, as drawn by Chuck Winter; from V-Man Comics it'll be The BANSHEE, as illoed by a young Warren King, and one-time Blue Beetle Comics back-up, "DYNAMITE" THOR!! You've never seen THESE three heroes before, and chances are you may never see them again. All totaled, it's 140 pages of full-story vintage reprints in black and white inside a full-color cover, saddle stitched for $29.95. Men of Mystery #98, coming from AC Comics in September 2015.

The rumor mill had been buzzing for quite some time, that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would be getting two new facials. We have previously covered these same rumors, and apparently Samsung was in a hurry to release the new color options as well.
Fashionistas as well as people willing to differentiate themselves from the crowd, will be happy to know that Samsung's latest announcement reveals that the Galaxy Note 3 will be released in two new colors – Rose Gold and Merlot Red. In all, there are three variations available for the choosing – Rose Gold accents on the white model, as well as Rose Gold accents on Black and the Merlot Red.
These new editions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, basically add a rose-gold highlight to their already existing Jet Black and Classic White mobile devices. This brings up the total color options to six, which includes the pre-existing Jet Black, Classic White and Bluish Pink models. The Samsung Galaxy Gear is also available in Rose Gold highlights, which beautifully complements these new color options of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
With the exception of color, all other features of the Galaxy Note 3 remain unchanged. The device sports a 5.7 inch full HD display with a 1080×1920 pixel resolution, 16/32/64 GB internal storage, a very ample 3 GB RAM, standard quad-band 2G, 3G and HSDPA connectivity along with penta-band LTE. Also available onboard is a 13 mega pixels (MP) primary snapper and a 2 MP front-facing secondary video call camera. The best feature of the Galaxy Note 3 is the S-Pen stylus, which beautifully extends the functionality of the Galaxy Note 3 through Air command popup – which includes support for handwriting recognition and provides easy access to Samsung's flagship note-taking app – the S Note. The device runs on the amazingly fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, while the other variant runs on Samsung's Exynos Oct-core processor.
The new shades will be launched in China sometime later this month. It is not yet clear whether these colors would be freely available or whether they would be tied to particular carriers or vendors.
Which color would you be opting for? Shout it out in the comments below.

Need For Speed Proceeds to Add Leads: Dominic Cooper to Join Castby Micah J Gordon at . Comments
Dominic Cooper is in negotiation to join the cast of Need For Speed. Cooper joins Imogen Poots and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Smashed) in the upcoming film.
Need For Speed is an adaptation of the popular racing video game series. How can you adapt a racing game into a film, you ask? Well, it won't just be a bunch of cars driving around. Paul and Cooper will play garage owners who modify cars, with Paul's character seeking revenge on the person who framed him and killed his best friend.
Cooper has made a name for himself in blockbuster action films these last couple of years, appearing in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, and this year's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Need For Speed is slated for a February 7, 2014 release date.

"I only know one truth: It's time for the Jedi...to end."
Say what?! Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) has been M.I.A. for quite a while, and in Star Wars The Last Jedi (in theaters Dec. 15, 2017), moviegoers will finally figure out why—and what he's been up to since his mysterious disappearance. A behind-the-scenes video featuring new footage from the blockbuster, including scenes with late actress Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia, was shown as part of Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., Saturday, following the first trailer's April debut.
The footage also shows Hamill and Fisher on set, Daisy Ridley rehearsing fight scenes, Laura Dern with purple hair and a slew of new creatures.
Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman produced the movie, which Rian Johnson directed.
The film's cast also includes Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Anthony Daniels, Benicio Del Toro, Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Peter Mayhew, Lupita Nyong'o, Simon Pegg, Timothy M. Rose, Andy Serkis, Kelly Marie Tran and Jimmy Vee, as well as Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd, who is also featured in the behind-the-scenes footage.
"It's about family and that's what's so powerful about it," Fisher says in the video.

Just a couple of months ago, Manish Tandon, who was EVP and head of healthcare and life sciences, quit to become the CEO of CSS Corp.
Sikka had attributed Info sys' relatively weak performance in the June quarter partly to the consulting business. The consulting business was affected partly by an exodus of executives in Lodestone, the Zurich-based consulting firm that Infosys acquired for $350 million about four years ago. Lodestone founder Ronald Hafner quit after Infosys elevated Purohit as consulting head. Hafner's exit encouraged several other executives to follow suit.
The spate of top-level exits is beginning to worry analysts."Infosys is in danger of skidding onto thin ice. On the one hand, it is undergoing a reorganization with the goal to become more agile and to empower management. On the other, the continued attrition of its senior executives could slow down decision-making. As the market enters a phase of accelerated macro headwinds, all eyes will now be on the next earnings.Vishal urgently needs a decent quarter," Tom Reuner, MD of US-based HfS Research, said. In terms of share price performance, Infosys's has been the best among its Indian peers in the period since Sikka took over.But the more recent performance has been less impressive.

All Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes — we don't want you to buy these items, we want you to laugh at their ridiculousness. Enjoy!
Yesterday morning, my son declared he wanted tacos for dinner. He's not much of a meat eater, so I eagerly agreed to his demand. I picked up all the necessary ingredients at the store and when dinner time rolled around it was Taco Tuesday here at the Doland house.
In a classic toddler move, he took one bite of his taco and asked for a completely different dinner. I asked him what was wrong: Is it too spicy? Do you want more cheese? Is it possible you thought tacos were some other food and you were confused?
He said it's because the ground beef wasn't chopped into small enough pieces (okay, so he didn't really say that) and that he would have continued eating his meal had I used the Chop Stir to break up the ground beef better (he didn't say that either):
Had I used the Chop Stir instead of the head of a spatula (or a fork or my fingers), my dinner wouldn't have been a failure (completely not true, it was actually a delicious meal). Woe is me. Oh, woe is me.
Thanks to reader Jessica for bringing this strange device to our attention.

Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano (The Darkness)
Not one of the more uplifting entries on this list, Jenny's brutal murder is the catalyst for Jackie's ferocious vengeance in league with the malevolent Darkness. But it's here because of the way Starbreeze built a believable relationship between the two, full of worry and fire and hope. The way you can sit with Jenny on the couple's rickety sofa, watching the entirety of To Kill A Mockingbird on their pokey TV is a powerful, relatable picture of a relationship. It ends in tragedy, but The Darkness takes the time to give you something you don't want to lose.

Slovenian, known as slovenščina, is the official language of Slovenia and is also spoken in parts of Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. As a South Slavic language, it is most similar to Serbian and Croatian. Slovenian has many different dialects - some estimate there are up to 46- but Standard Slovene is the national language. As with other Slavic languages, Slovenian has no individual word for 'the', so 'jabolko' may mean either 'an apple' or 'the apple'.Learn Slovenian with uTalk
South Slavic
Slovenian has a single word for 'the two of us': midva.
In Slovenian, if you say 'Imam mačka' (I have a cat) it means you have a hangover.
It is a source of great confusion that the Slovenian word for Slovenian is slovenščina and the Slovak word for Slovak is slovenčina.

New Cult Forms Surrounding "Servo" Celebrity
By Natalie Orga, Contributing Writer
Everyone loves Regina from Servo. But how much love is too much?
Last week, a student reported seeing candlelight emanating from a classroom in Glatfelter Lodge. Upon further inspection, the student, who wishes to remain anonymous, found that a fire was blazing inside, and a circle of about a dozen prancing students had formed around it. The students, none of whom could be identified due to the darkness of the lodge, were dancing and singing, gallivanting joyously. They were singing praises to Regina, and in the center of their circle, a photo of Regina sat like an idol upon an old Servo tray.
Frightened, the eyewitness fled the scene. Could this be a cult worshipping Regina? When asked about it, students around campus responded enthusiastically to the idea.
"I would join a Regina cult!" burst one.
"Hell yeah!" Exclaimed another.
This raises a profound question. Is it wrong to partake in such actions? If we all love Regina enough to sing her songs of admiration (which, I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say that we do), should Regina-centric cults be quashed, or should they be celebrated? The College is attempting to answer this question. For now, it is recommended that you keep your eyes peeled for signs of cult activity. Whether you partake in it or steer clear, however, is up to you.

Celtic Cross T-Shirt
Y Groes Geltaidd - The Celtic Cross predates Christianity, with the oldest example from 10,000 BC, and is often associated with the Tree of Life. The first cross symbols probably represented the sun. In the megalithic and Celtic age, the sun was considered to be the divine center of the cosmos. The circle represents the whole, the encircling spirit, an all-embracing essence of light. Early Christianity took root in the fertile beliefs of the Celtic culture. The Celtic Cross evolved in its significance and meaning, but continued to represent the light of the world. In the Celtic Cross, the center is the spititual source - here represented by th triskele motif symbolizing the mystical Celtic Trinity. The cross is the cosmic wheel, representing the four seasonal positions of the sun - the four directions, elements, four seasons. The design is inspired by the great wheel-cross of Conbelin at Margam Abbey, South Wales.
Designed by Welsh Artist Jen Delyth, inspired by the Spirit in Nature, Celtic mythology and symbolism. Jen's original Celtic Art work appeals to those who seek meaningful, profound images expressing deep and essential aspects of the Celtic tradition. Jen Delyth's original Celtic artwork has been widely published and exhibited in North America, back in her native Wales and Internationally. She illustrates the best-selling "Celtic Mandala" calendar, journals and greeting cards, and has created a successful textile and gift line - Keltic Designs by Jen Delyth, that showcases her designs, fine art prints and paintings which have been exhibited with solo and group shows internationally. Also a writer on Celtic Mythology and Symbolism, her book Celtic Folk Soul - Art, Myth & Symbol is compilation of her artwork and writing from over 20 years.
*T-Shirts avaliable in short-sleeve standard unisex sizes only.

We strive to identify and meet the unique educational needs of each child. Students are given the opportunity to learn at their own level. Our low teacher to student ratio (1:14) fosters deeper connections and allows teachers to meet the learning needs of each student. Teachers assist students in identifying individualized learning goals and routinely revisit these goals. Teachers integrate instructional strategies and techniques from multiple educational philosophies, rather than adhering strictly to one specified learning approach.
Our teachers provide regular newsletters to parents that describe what has been happening at school and what to look foward to. These samples from our last school year provide the best view of the spirit of our educational community.
A school day at OCS is structured and children can rely on the security of a predictable routine. Built into that routine are times of teacher-directed instruction with related assignments and projects as well as times for more open-ended experiences.
At OCS math is taught using a hands-on approach that incorporates many types of problem-solving activities. New concepts are introduced in concrete ways, helping students solidify their understanding of mathematical concepts before moving on to abstract processes. For example, students use groups of cubes to learn the concepts of addition and subtraction before learning to solve addition and subtraction problems on paper. Through such an approach, students gain a deep understanding that addition involves joining two groups together, resulting in a greater quantity, and that subtraction involves taking some away, creating a smaller quantity. Initially focusing on concrete methods for solving problems helps students develop an abundant set of skills and the confidence needed to solve problems as they become increasingly abstract.
Students at OCS are encouraged to solve mathematical problems in a variety of ways and to develop methods that make sense and work for them, rather than simply memorizing a set of standard rules. The process of solving problems is just as valued as finding actual answers. Students are often asked to explain their thinking verbally, with pictures and in writing.
The mathematical topics covered at OCS are informed by the Washington State Grade Level Standards and are tailored to meet the needs of individual students. Math lessons often relate to the theme that we are studying and involve a great deal of art. Much of our math teaching is inspired by the work of Marilyn Burns, John Van De Welle and the TERC curriculum units.
Math at OCS is fun and includes many real-world applications. If you were to observe a math class, you might see students:
- playing a cooperative Tic Tac Toe game to work on addition skills
- working together to measure the length of an Orca
- crafting geometric art
- creating their own counting book
- using clinometers to measure the height of trees
- using ratios to build covered wagons
- developing their own juice mixes using fractions (and then selling the juice to raise money for the rainforest)!
Our language arts time is spent in a variety of ways. Children and teachers may meet in small groups for literature/reading circles or phonics groups, children may rotate through various literacy centers, or the whole group may be writing in Writing Workshop or working on a special project or concept (poetry, fables, etc.).
Reading is taught through a combination of "whole language" and phonetic approaches. From the very beginning, children read both fiction and non-fiction. We use a combination of tools to assess and group children such as "Words Their Way" to help place children in appropriate phonics and reading groups. In the older grades, this assessment also influences their word and spelling studies. All children read books in small groups and also on their own, according to their reading level and personal interests. We practice finding the "Just right book" as well as being secure of where we are as a learner. As the children grow older, the books read together in small groups take on the form of a book club. These books may be read with a partner, aloud with the group, independently in class, or at home. Together we discuss our readings and practice predicting, questioning, clarifying, analyzing and summarizing.
All children are also given daily reading time to read or look at books of their choice during Reading Workshop. During this time we may focus on making meaningful connections with our reading, asking questions, or identifying reading strategies. Reading workshop may begin with a mini-lesson around one of these topics then time for the children to settle in with their own books and a sharing time in the end. Our workshops are influenced by Debbie Miller's, Ellin Oliver Keene's and Susan Zimmerann's work on reading comprehension.
Children put together projects for each piece of literature they have read for our Book Shares. The children choose how they would like to respond and share a book from a list of ideas that is based on Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. The list of ideas is allows the children to choose something that allows them to shine in something they are good at. Children are also always given the option to create their own project idea if one doesn't appeal to them (with a check-in with a teacher).
From kindergarten on, children write in many genres and across all subject areas at whatever level they are ready for. They write personal narratives, stories, summaries of what they have learned, reflections, letters and more. In kindergarten, a child's story might consist of a picture with some letters beneath it, or it might be several sentences with readable spelling and periods. Older children may focus on more complex conventions, editing, word choice, and voice. Children are supported at whatever level they need – no one is held back by "grade-level" expectations and no one is pressured to perform at a level they are not ready for. Much of our writing curriculum is influenced by Lucy Calkins work and 6 Traits of Writing.
Thematic learning
Academic and creative works are connected to the interests of children through themes. Children work with teachers to identify areas of common interest. Children's emerging academics skills and creativity are exercised through a series of open-ended projects where children explore, manipulate and represent knowledge. Themes are common to the whole school, allowing for students of all ages to interact, while specific activities and concepts are presented at different and developmentally appropriate levels within classes.
Field trips and service learning
Our small class size and parent volunteer corps allows for frequent exploration of our community and the surrounding environment. We visit museums, community services, local businesses, explore the forest and beach. We take advantage of the range of opportunities provided through our parents' networks to reinforce classroom learning and open doors for individual exploration. Field trips include volunteer work for community social services and local environmental stewardship.
Assessment and accountability
Assessment is primarily portfolio based, and is reported using a continuum of skills for each subject area. The continua allow for parents to see exactly where their child is within the entire range of development for that subject area (for example, reading). Students are encouraged to set their own educational and personal goals, and reflect on their learning. We hold two parent-student-teacher conferences, as well as formal opportunities for portfolio sharing, where parents come to school and children show and talk about their work. Weekly work is shared through a Thursday folder which is returned the following Monday before being integrated into a portfolio.

Covered California is the State of California's response to the federal ObamaCare program. As one would expect, California drank the Kool-Aid and while other states are pushing back, the Golden State is working to enroll everyone they can in National Healthcare.
A couple of days ago a lady called me conducting a survey on behalf of Covered California. If I have a moment, I usually listen to these sorts of things because I learn from them. She asked me how I felt about the opportunity to receive "free" healthcare through ObamaCare. It felt as if I was being given a "free" ObamaPhone. I said that it felt pretty lousey. She asked why. I explained that nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it.
The nice lady on the phone told me that the Federal Government is paying for it. I asked her where she thought they got the money to pay for "free" healthcare. She said, "from rich people and companies."
My next question: Do you think that companies will pass on costs to consumers?
The nice lady hadn't ever considered that possibility (she read from a script but she was now off-script). The State of California sent her to a Covered California class that fed her information about the glories of ObamaCare without explaining the fine print--that it was a tax. I asked her how she would feel spending more for everything that she bought so that people could have "free" healthcare. She said that when I put it that way, she really didn't think that it was fair.
The nice lady went off to speak to her boss about it and the survey ended.
We'd all like to get money for nothing (cue Dire Straits), but the reality of life is that somebody has to pay for everything. Socialism is the act of picking somebody else's pocket - and yes, you eventually run out of somebody else's money.
ObamaCare is a device for buying votes - because the Democratic Party elite don't care what new tax burdens are placed on the backs of a middle-class struggling to survive yet still desperately hanging on to the belief that somehow, someday they too will be rich, famous and have their own Reality TV show if they just stay on the treadmill and keep running.
A Cynical View
From those who Own Politicians
Reaching far beyond the corporatization of medicine and privatization of healthcare in America, the objective with Obamacare was to establish a constitutional legal precedent for individual mandates by which the wealthy can become even wealthier simply by having their paid political puppets pass laws mandating that we buy their corporate products and increase their profits - regardless of whether we want, need or can afford them.

Intellectual disability
Key facts
Key facts on intellectual disability
- An intellectual disability affects overall functioning with everyday tasks and cognition generally
- People with intellectual disability may have difficulties with learning, communication, daily living tasks (eg: managing money, taking care of themselves, preparing meals, getting around independently), information processing, social skills and problem solving
- The affects of a person's intellectual disability will be within a very wide range from mild to profound. Many people with intellectual disability can manage their own affairs, learn plenty of new things and get through life with only a minimal amount of ongoing support. Others need substantial assistance on a daily basis
- Intellectual disabilities are life-long, and a diagnosis requires the disability to have been apparent during childhood (before the age of 18 years)
- A person can either be born with an intellectual disability or acquire it later in childhood through illness or accident
- Around 3% of Australians have an intellectual disability.
Affects and adjustments at work
Common affects of intellectual disability at work
Remember! No two people with the same disability experience the same affects at work!
Employees with disability are not likely to have all the listed disability features OR affects at work! Most people have just a few of those listed; you'll only know by asking the person directly.
Here are some examples of how an employee with an intellectual disability may be affected at work. They may have difficulties with:
- Learning new tasks and processes.
- Sorting out arising problems, without help to think through the issue and possible solutions.
- Understanding others and expressing themselves.
- Having a concept or firm understanding of time and time management.
- Travelling to and from work independently.
Possible workplace adjustments for people with intellectual disability
The following examples of workplace adjustments are only examples! These examples will not suit everybody.
In each case the best supports in the workplace can only be discovered through conversations between employer, employee and, if needed, a disability specific employment specialist.
Some examples of workplace adjustments that have been used for people with an intellectual disability include:
- Work with a specialised disability employment service who will provide on-the-job and, if needed, ongoing workplace support to the employee and the workplace.
- Employees with an intellectual disability often learn in small steps through repetition. This means that their work activities may need to be structured this way.
- Develop a 'work buddy' system where a co-worker is identified, based on their personal qualities and experience in the work environment, to provide learning support and guidance.
- Use pictures and other prompts in the person's work space to help them remember their daily work tasks and processes.
- Provide disability awareness training to all staff to help them be confident and respectful of employees with disability.
For more information and suggestions on making workplace adjustments for employees with specific types of disability visit the government website Job Access.
Tips for communicating with people with intellectual disability
- Speak clearly using uncomplicated language and sentences; avoid jargon
- Allow time to explain work requirements and information to the employee
- Explain any changes to the job or routines in advance
- Allow time for the employee to respond to your requests and also ask questions
- A non-response from the employee may mean that they are having difficulty understanding what you have said or are unsure of what they need to do next
- Check understanding by asking the person to repeat what you have said in their own words
- Rephrase information if it is not understood, or present it differently
- Ask short questions to gather information
- Use multiple communication strategies to explain concepts, requests or information; for example pictures, physically demonstrate the activity a couple of times; or break down the activity to create small achievable goals.

Tips for Building in the UK
If you're coming from Canada, the U.S. or really, any part of the commonwealth, you're not going to find it very difficult to build citations in the UK. If English isn't your native language, the challenges here aren't going to be different than the challenges you'd find in other English-dominant countries.
Make sure, as you always should, that you fill out every profile completely. Leaving out any part of your NAP (Name, address and phone number) can slow down the results you want. Also, don't skip UK business directories simply because one registration process seems more complicated than others. You want to build each and every one of these if you want to enjoy the benefits.

NEW YORK (AP) First week sales for Bill O'Reilly's latest book were enviable for virtually any author who isn't Bill O'Reilly.
"Killing England," the latest in O'Reilly's blockbuster series of history books, sold 65,000 copies in hardcover. According to NPD BookScan, only one nonfiction book sold better, although its author has long been a political foe of the conservative commentator. Hillary Clinton's "What Happened" sold 93,000 copies in its second week, a drop from its opening sales of 168,000 copies, when pre-orders also were included. First week numbers for "What Happened" were the highest for any nonfiction book in five years.
According to BookScan, which tracks around 85 percent of the print market, O'Reilly's "Killing the Rising Sun" opened last year with sales of 145,000 copies. O'Reilly has long been one of the most popular nonfiction authors, but "Killing England" is his first major release since being forced out from Fox News amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment. While initial sales have been slower than for his earlier works, "Killing England" has gained momentum. It jumped into the top 5 on Amazon.com on publication day, Sept. 19, and was No. 1 for much of Wednesday. "Killing England" also was in the top 5 on Barnes & Noble.com.
Sales have likely been helped by an unexpected outlet, Fox. Ads for the book have been airing on the network and O'Reilly returned in person Tuesday night for an interview with Sean Hannity.

Why PUTRA BUSINESS SCHOOL?
So why would you like to do your degree at Putra Business School (PBS)? Isn't it just like another business school? Don't all business schools teach the same subjects?
Let's answer these questions in the reverse order.
AACSB accreditation
Yes, PBS does teach more or less the same subjects. However, we are the only postgraduate business school in Malaysia and one of 6 in the region that has been accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). Accreditation means having achieved the expectations set by AACSB concerning the business school's mission, faculty qualifications, and curricula, assessed through their process of evaluations, peer-reviews, committee reviews, and development of in-depth strategic plans. Less than 5% of the world's business schools have such accreditation. PBS is one of them. That means a lot of work of reviewing the business school is already done for you. Click here to find out who else is part of this unique group in this region.
Human Governance
Putra Business School (PBS) is not like any business school. PBS' fundamental approach to the purpose of business is as enablers to the betterment of society. To do that business leaders need to be the drivers, not merely adhering to rules and regulations impacting the business. It is the human who decides what type of business is set up and for what purpose. After all, business is a human enterprise.
Putra Business School (PBS) is among some of the first, if not the first to do so, in recognising that although corporations and businesses may be characterised as entities with legal rights and liabilities, it is nevertheless the human who makes the decisions.
The human, therefore, needs to understand her responsibilities within the realm of her environment, society and immediate vicinity while in the process of being enterprising and entrepreneurial. During lectures at PBS, students are not only encouraged to use all their faculties of eyes, ears and mind in class to give attention, understand and remember, we also encourage the use of the heart to feel what is right and wrong.
We term this approach human governance.
Putra Business School (PBS) is a business school teaching humans about business basics and the business of being humans in business. It is about building character, and perhaps in time, there will ensue a generation of leaders with integrity, who cares not only about profitability but also about society and the environment around them. If that is also your perspective, then PBS is the place for you.
Putra Business School (PBS) aims to be relevant in today's world which brought forth the recent 2008 financial crisis and numerous other infamous corporation defaults. PBS offers an alternative frame of thinking on leadership and business with our concept of the human based on Eastern tradition.
Besides covering the typical business school subjects, we ask what it means to be human, and how our perspective will change when we no longer treat humans as resources but as trustees of resources.
In addition to our teaching staff, you will meet other like minded people from other parts of the world, and exposed to experienced industry champions who believe in the same perspective.
Take Action
If you have been feeling that business need to do better and not sure how to deal with it, come to PBS. We'll not only help you refine those niggling thoughts, we'll help you develop ones that you'll be able to live with. Here we show you how to be human in business and achieve the balance between responsibility, profitability and community.
The rest is up to you.

Well, Houston was good, but it's also good to be back. The little HoneyB was amazingly good in the flight, not to mention an instant hit with the crew. She cried when she saw DaddyBoy, though, almost as though she was accusing him of being away. Of course, it was the other way around but she didn't know that!
I have so much catching up to do I don't know where to start. The Pelham Art Show opens on May 8. I still have nothing ready, which, when I think about it is nothing unusual. No need for the panic button yet.
Yeah, right. But no, I'll get stuff done. I mean, I have to, right? I'm signed up for the show. I can't cancel now, can I? Can I? OK. I need to stop being a human yo yo. Work things out. Attachment parenting, cloth diapering, elimination communication (or attempts at) notwithstanding. I can do it!
Here's a simple diptych that was fun to make. My hand went inescapably to the blue first. Orange seemed to be the logical choice after that, and then green followed. Just free brush strokes without any premeditation. I thought I'd put in some black ink so I added the fine lines. Oh, and those little green splotches? An accident, but a happy one, I think!
I called it Fly.
