I bow to your expertise Intuit. It is true that in your situation you have no choice. It is true that the "good" ones are filtered tap.
I was just trying to debunk this mindless myth that if it comes in a bottle, it must be good.
Marco wrote:Hey all
water is something I have questions about.
What I read here, if you are not lucky and have got a spring, people use filtered or bottled water if their tap water has a bad taste.
Our tap water tastes good (okay at my parents place it is really even better ) - I drink a lot of pure water and don't bother buying bottled water.
But the water is really hard. I have to descale my pot a lot.
And you can read that green tea needs soft water for a really good taste.
So what about that? Is it really this important? Does it make a huge difference? Should I buy a water filter for better taste? Does it pay off?

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fantastic First Time Event.In full: Agree with the comments re: rubbish. I was one of the back markers and I overheard a member of the public telling the girls at the last water station that there was debris all across the hill he had just walked down (that I was just about to head up), and she did say that they would be collecting the rubbish - but why should the responsibility alone be left to the people manning the station? We are all adults! I left my bottle at the station to go into the rubbish bag, rather than either have to carry it or discard it. As has been stated, it is things like that which could prevent a well-organised event like this from taking place in the future. Thanks to Phil and the Marshalls and Bolton Mountain Rescue for organising the event and allowing it to go ahead in the weather conditions. It was a scenic event with a great atmosphere - great support from everyone on the way round. I would do it again, but with much more off-road training first!Date of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Friendly and well-organised race, but not scenic.Date of review: June 28, 2010
In short: Not as welcoming as previously.Date of review: July 5, 2009
In short: Atmosphere alone is worth it!Date of review: March 24, 2009
In short: Great for a training run......In full: Great race for those just getting into running, or for those of us who used it as a training run on the path to longer events later in the year. Good organisation and good crowds and friendly marshals around the stadium. Would definitely consider it again next year.Date of review: July 6, 2008

Apple recently issued a statement advising users of its iPhone 3G and 3GS to operate their cell phones in environments with certain temperatures. Many web-sites considered this as a warning about potential overheating problems that the latest iPhone may have. However, it looks to be more like a reminder as Apple's gadgets have never been compatible with hot or cold weather.
The manufacturer of iPhone handsets advices end-users to operate their mobile phones in environments where the temperature is between 0º and 35ºC (32º to 95ºF) since low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly. In fact, the company advices users of iPod personal digital media players to use their devices in the very same environments as well, obviously, for the same reasons.
The symptoms of iPhone's overheating that Apple descibes are rather obvious: the device stops charging, display dims, cellular signal is weak or the message "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it" is displayed. Symptoms with the iPod should be generally similar.
In fact, Apple iPod players and Apple iPhone handsets have always had rather strict thermal limitations, unlike any other devices. As a result, Apple has never welcome usage of the iPod at the beach on a hot summer day. Obviously, keeping iPhone/iPod inside pockets of tight clothes may also cause the device to malfunction.
It is unclear why Apple decided to issue the document just days after massive amount of people bought its latest iPhone 3GS content: the vast majority of cosumers never check support web-sites when their devices work fine. Perhaps, there is no smoke without fire and iPhone 3G and 3GS are actually more vulnerable to overheatings than the first-gen iPhone as well as various iPods?

Oregon Timber Exports [VIDEO]
Increased timber sales in Oregon is a 'good news', 'not so good news' report on Oregon's lumber industry. State officials say the 2011 harvest is up 13% from the previous year. But that didn't help the entire industry. Timber officials say the raw material cost pushed the price up for mills because what was sent was unprocessed wood. David Schott with the Southern Oregon Timber Industries Association says the federal government could help through a bill authored in part by Oregon congressman Greg Walden. Schott says he's optimistic such legislation could pass. With the upcoming presidential election Schott says he's not expecting a vote on the Walden Defazio bill to be voted until after the November balloting.

Elpida Memory, the largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), in Japan, said Thursday that it had completed development of its first GDDR5 chip. Mass production of the new premium memory ICs will start in the second quarter of next year.
Elpida's first GDDR5 memory chip will sport 1Gb density (two I/O configurations available: 32Mb x32 and 64Mb x16) and will be able to operate at 6GHz effective clock-speed (1500MHz). The new graphic memory device marks Elpida's first step in the GDDR market.
For Elpida it is rather logical to start making premium GDDR memory since the company already produces high-speed RDRAM as well as XDR DRAM developed by Rambus and has experience in making complex memory that operates at very high frequencies. GDDR memory is used not only on add-in graphics cards, but also inside video game consoles, thus, total available market such memory type is rather high.
After concluding an evaluation at the Munich Design Center, sample shipments will start in December and mass production is expected to begin in the second quarter (April-June) of CY 2010. It is projected that Winbond will produce GDDR5 memory for Elpida at its Taiwanese fabs.

US Women Takes the 5th Over Bulgaria
Bill Kauffman
USA Volleyball Communications
Phone: 719-228-6800
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 14, 2012) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team started its three-match Bulgaria Challenge Series with a hard-fought 22-25, 25-18, 16-25, 25-22, 15-11 victory over the visitors in front of an over-flowing crowd of 1,200 at Canyon High School Saturday evening in Anaheim, Calif.
The U.S. Women, which head to London next Friday for the Olympic Games that start July 28, were playing their first home match since the Pan American Cup in Miami and FIVB World Championship NORCECA Qualification Tournament in Orlando in the summer of 2009. The USA-Bulgaria Challenge Series, co-hosted by the City of Anaheim where the U.S. Women's and Men's National Teams train, continues on July 16 and July 18 with matches at the Galen Center on the University of Southern California campus. Both matches start at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by going to usctrojans.com/usa.
Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) led the U.S. with a match-high 26 points with 24 kills on 40 attacks. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) chipped in 19 points with 14 kills and four blocks. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) provided 12 points including eight kills and three aces. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) reached 10 points with a match-high five blocks. Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.) added seven points, while Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) tacked on six points in coming off the bench all five sets. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) and Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) rounded out the scoring with two points each.
"It was nice to play in front of a home crowd for once," Larson said. "I have not played in front of a home crowd in the United States since college. And the fans were great tonight – they definitely helped us in key moments of the match."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) led the Americans with 15 digs, while Larson and Berg each added 10 digs.
U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) started Akinradewo and Harmotto at middle blocker, Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Hooker at opposite and Berg at setter. Davis was the libero for the match. Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) started the final three sets after being a double-sub with Haneef-Park in the first two sets. Tama Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) was a serving sub in three of the five sets, while Hodge was a sub in the fourth set.
"It is amazing tonight," Akinradewo said. "We typically play in front of foreign fans rooting against us. So it was a great blessing to have people come out to support us."
Team USA out-blocked Bulgaria 13-8 and held a slim 8-7 ace advantage. The Americans converted 42 percent of its 150 attacks, while the Bulgarians converted 40 percent. The U.S. hit 53 percent (10-0-19) in the fifth set. In the three sets it won, the U.S. converted 52 percent of its attacks into points.
As a first-time Olympian, Akinradewo is taking hype of the Olympics in stride.
"I am taking it all in one day at a time," Akinradewo said. "As Hugh has told us many times, it is just another tournament with a lot of extra fluff. We have a great core group of players over the last four years, and if we focus on what we have learned during that time, we should do well."
Bulgaria was led by Elitsa Vasileva's 21 points from her opposite position, while captain Strashmira Filipova added 19 points from her middle blocker spot.

Merry Christmas From Core'dinations
Sarah Hodgkinson has a wonderful tutorial for us today. It's perfect for this time of year.
Here's a project that can be used each year as part of your festive giving and/or decorating. Create a take-out box which can be filled with Hershey Kisses or other wrapped candy and then used as a night time decoration to hang on a tree, sit on a mantel or perch at a foyer table.
Supplies Needed:
– Abracadabra Black Magic cardstock (Core'dinations)
– Sanding block (Core'dinations)
– Kraft or white take-out box (i.e., Michael's)
– White rubon letters (e.g., Maya Road)
– Mini-chipboard houses (Maya Road)
– Snowflake embossing folder or texture plate (Sizzix/Basic Grey) and diecutting machine (e.g., Big Shot by Sizzix)
– Paint (Making Memories)
– White pen (Uniball)
– Vellum- Layering tape (Helmar)
– Closet LED light with batteries (any dollar store)
– Paper trimmer
– Ruler- Pin or thumb tack
– Pencil
Here are some images of the supplies for you:
Now let's get started:
- Take apart the take away box so that you can easily work with it. Using the white side of the Abracadabra cardstock, trace the shape of one side of the take away box. Cut it out using a paper trimmer. Using a ruler, measure ¼" in from each of the four sides and cut again using your paper trimmer.
- Emboss Abracadabra using a snowflake embossing folder. I used the new Basic Grey/Sizzix one for this project. Sand to reveal the white core.
- Paint three Maya Road mini-chipboard houses and allow to dry. Once dry, use a white pen to add "snow" to the roof and window of each house. Cut a small amount of vellum paper and adhere to the backside of each house to cover the windows.
- Cut small holes from the Abracadabra where the windows will be to allow the light through. Using a pin or thumb tack, poke holes into the embossed snowflakes to allow more light through.
- Attach the houses to the Abracadabra with layering tape. Rub the white letters for "Joy" onto the Abracadabra or another festive word.
- Glue Abracadabra to the kraft box. Reassemble the box. Place LED light in the bottom of the box. Fill with wrapped treats!
Stay tuned for the final Winner of the 12 Days of Techniques this week! We will be back after a few days "vacation" and some more inspiration. Don't forget to leave a comment here to win the goodies from the last day and share your projects with us on Facebook. We would looove to see if you were inspired from our 12 Days of Techniques!

Rex Ryan announced Wednesday that Geno Smith will start at quarterback Sunday for the New York Jets.
But Ryan hinted that Mark Sanchez's shoulder injury played a part in the decision. It remains to be seen who the Jets' signal-caller will be once Sanchez is ready to go.
Smith was selected with the No. 39 overall pick in April's draft, and it surprised some that the West Virginia product fell out of the first round.
The Jets' early impressions of Geno came in a meeting at the NFL Scouting Combine with all members of the Jets' brass. They felt he was lethargic, disinterested and tired -- unimpressive.
They were convinced to have a second meeting, which came at a dinner in Morgantown, W.Va. The meeting involved Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and several scouts (but not coach Rex Ryan or general manager John Idzik). That's where Mornhinweg was sold, where he discovered Geno's personality and love of football matched his tape. The Jets viewed Smith as a "completely different guy." He was engaged, more into football. Mornhinweg also was in love with Smith based on his game tape.
After the second meeting, they were smitten, though obviously not enough to make him a first-round draft pick.
Mornhinweg remains a big fan of Smith's upside and feels Geno is a better option under center even if Sanchez is fully healthy. Smith will have a chance to show Mornhinweg is right in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But Smith already has the support of the man running the Gang Green offense, and that's bound to count a lot.

There's plenty to admire about the Seattle-based MC/producer duo (Macklemore, born Ben Haggerty, rhymes and Ryan Lewis crafts the beats). On the crew's breakthrough sophomore album The Heist, the rapper speaks out in favor of gay marriage ("One Love") and rails against rampant consumerism ("Wings" and the massively popular "Thrift Shop"). Additionally, the MC pours everything into his live show, breathlessly delivering his words as he bounds from one end of the stage to the other like a hyperactive teenager.
True, Macklemore's overly eager nature can sometimes grow tiresome — dude has a tendency to boast about his work ethic like he's trolling for a job on LinkedIn — but credit the rapper for his fearlessness in tackling both his own demons (though clean these days, his struggles with addiction continue to pop up in his work) and the various ills he sees surfacing in society.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Vientiane, Laos on July 11, 2012. This groundbreaking visit to Laos marked the first by a U.S. Secretary of State in 57 years. During her visit, Secretary Clinton met with Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong and other senior government officials to discuss a variety of bilateral and regional issues, including the Lower Mekong Initiative and ASEAN integration efforts. In remarks to U.S. Embassy staff and their families, Secretary Clinton said:
"When I met with the Foreign Minister, we traced the arc of our relationship, from addressing the tragic legacies of the past, to finding new ways to partner for the future. And through trips like this one, the United States is deepening our engagement in the Asia Pacific. We're practicing what I call forward-deployed diplomacy, using all of our diplomatic assets in a whole-of-government approach represented by so many agencies and departments in order to make our presence known and to be an effective partner.
"Now here in Laos, the past is always with us. I just finished touring COPE, a painful reminder of the legacy of the Vietnam War era. An estimated 80 million unexploded cluster bombs remain scattered across Laos, and they continue to kill or injure about a hundred people a year, which is good because that's down from several hundreds a year, but it still is unacceptable. And since 1995, the U.S. has provided nearly $59 million to help remove more than a million of these cluster munitions along with larger ordnance, clearing some 23,000 hectares of land that can now be used for farming or development. This year, we are increasing our financial commitment by $4 million, and I hope others in the international community will join us in our efforts to bring this legacy of the Vietnam War era to a safe end and give the people, particularly the children of this nation, the opportunity to live their lives safe from these unexploded bombs."
You can view photographs of the Secretary's visit to Laos and her tour of the Cooperative Orthotic Prosthetic Enterprise Center (COPE) in the above slideshow. Secretary Clinton is on travel to France, Afghanistan, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Egypt, and Israel. You can follow her trip on www.state.gov.

Just getting so sick of the left playing the race card anytime someone has something bad to say about this president. Please can you please think a bit more liberal and give people credit for their own intelligence and opinion and their right to come to their own conclusion and not immediately jump to the wrong conclusion. It's been either blame Bush or blame the color of his skin, get over it.
Of course there are extreme elements of society truly against the color of people's skin, just like there are extreme elements of society against hard working people making money and being successful.

however,to be fair, i think many r's just hate obama just because he's a dem. just like they hate all dems for being dems. i can accept that, i know i didn't have too many nice things to say about gw a few years back.

The following questions provide additional information about the course objectives. In some instances, responses to these questions may make it easier to infer a particular participant's identity, depending on the number of graduate students in the course. Accordingly, while OSU would like to receive this information, OSU emphasizes responding to the following questions is voluntary.
Background: Following the Fall 2011 release of reports, numerous faculty requested distinct reports for "slash courses," or cross listings and sections taught by the same instructor at the same time, rather than having a combined report. In an attempt to respond to this request we implemented a change to the electronic student evaluation of teaching (eSET) reporting system to have separate reports by section. Unfortunately, in some cases this change resulted in low student "class sizes" prompting us to implement safeguards to restrict access to the reports to preserve student anonymity. This resulted in faculty receiving messages like "sorry you do not have permission to view this page" and an inability for departments to download batch files.
The change in eSET report generation has necessitated guidance and decision-making by the Faculty Senate around the generation of eSET reports to both preserve student anonymity and to meet promotion and tenure (P & T) needs. In order to address the immediate concerns about report access and upcoming P & T processes, the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate, in consultation with the Office of Academic Programs, Assessment, and Accreditation, has reached the following decision:
Decision by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and the Office of Academic Programs, Assessment, and Accreditation: Preserving student anonymity in Student Evaluations of Teaching is of the highest importance, both for the integrity of the responses students give, and to recognize student trust in the process. Therefore, we have decided to eliminate factors that could, even indirectly, enable a faculty member to identify a student (this is independent of a student's choice to self-reveal). All reports for cross listings and sections taught by the same instructor at the same time (aka "slash courses") will be combined.
In addition, reports for courses with enrollments of fewer than 6 students (1-5 students) will be unavailable, and evaluations will not be collected on courses with fewer than 6 students in the current and upcoming terms. Lastly, "demographic" data (i.e. graduate/undergraduate level, auditing/grade, etc.) will not be collected.

Topic: trying to figure out the Rails way on some code...
Here's the situation: I'm using attachment_fu in an "upload" model. this model has validation for file sizes, content type, etc. and "validates_as_attachment"
In my /view/ method, an ID is passed in, and the user has a file field to upload a file. this form submits to /add_file/, which looks like this:
def add_file
@file = Upload.new(params[:tab])
if @file.save
flash[:notice] = "File Uploaded!"
@file.errors.each do |i|
if i.include?("content_type")
flash[:error] = "Error uploading file: This file type is not accepted."
elsif i.include?("size")
flash[:error] = "Error uploading file: file size is too large. Please keep it under 2 megabytes."
redirect_to :action=>:view, :id => params[:tab][:tab_id]
this is working fine, however, there must be a better, more efficient way. What I tried to do in the view.rhtml for /view/ is to put: error_messages_for :tab, and ditch the whole @file.errors loop in favor of a redirect, but that didn't work because the redirect cleared out the errors.
so my next attempt was to replace the redirect with a render_action, however this got bloated quick as I needed to set params[:id] = params[:tab][:tab_id] to emulate /view/some_id, then call the method itself so it would run some of the queries I have that reply on an ID in the URL, then do the render_action. All said and done, my error_messages_for still didn't output a thing.
so that brought me to make this post to try and progress with my understanding of rails. inch by inch...

A "shop stigma" is keeping girls out of traditionally male vocational courses, NPR worries.
Forty years ago, President Richard Nixon signed Title IX, which said no person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from any education program or activity. Vocational education courses that barred girls — such as auto mechanics, carpentry and plumbing — became available for everyone. But it's still hard to find girls in classes once viewed as "for boys only."
Zoe Shipley, 15, is also the only girl in her high school's auto tech course. Her parents are pressuring her to switch to engineering, which they see as less greasy.
Her high school's construction management courses attract only a few girls, NPR adds.
It's up to schools to "take extra steps" to recruit girls to "courses that lead to higher-paying careers in technology and trades," instead of low-paying fields, such as child care and cosmetology, says Fatima Goss Graves, vice president for education and employment at the National Women's Law Center.
I think schools should make sure students know how much they're likely to earn if they pursue auto mechanics, carpentry, child care or cosmetology. But the low female enrollment in auto shop isn't really about bias — or parental pressure.
Update: In praising Title IX in a Newsweek commentary, President Obama said it's a "great accomplishment" for America that "more women , , , now graduate from college than men." I know he didn't really write it, but he should have read it before he let it be sent out. Far too many males are doing poorly in school, failing in college and — because they didn't learn vocational skills such as auto mechanics — struggling in the workforce. This is a serious problem for America — and for the young women who'd like to marry a guy with a decent job.

So right now I've got the hole drilled and tapped for the Tickler in the frame, and now I'm just waiting for some end mills to come in so I can clean off the bottom of the Ion ASA and make a counterbore for the o-ring that will seal between the frame and ASA, since the frame on the Ion has a chamfered edge all the way around, and won't seal properly as it is. I'll take the banjo fitting off the front of the frame and attach it to the Tickler, but to do that I'll have to mill out some of the frame, so that's another step that I have to wait on the mail for. I tested the Tickler, and it takes my 850ish input just fine and tops out at 210 psi, so it'll be perfect for the Ion.
Impy ASA
Tickler placement for testing, it's not fully screwed in.
Update 8-15-12
Frame milling is done, and leak test has passed.
Update 8-26-12
New frame milled, and shooting video is done.

The Holidays are here, and they are here to stay for the next two months. In light of the holiday spirit, we thought we should giveaway a Pellet Grill & Smoker. If you are unfamiliar with the capability of a Pellet Grill & Smoker. We kindly direct you to our blog post featuring 5 Great Smoker Recipes. Now, that's not to say you can only prepare those recipes. Look at this smoker as an extension of your kitchen. With the ability to reach temperatures upwards of 400 degrees, you can not only smoke food you can bake. Yes, we just said that, bake in a smoker. But what about the smokey flavor you ask? When running the Pellet Grill & Smoker at that high of a temperature, the amount of smoke going through the drum is limited which decreases the smokey flavor. Just imagine. Next to your turkey being smoked at a cool 375 degrees, you could have rolls baking at the same time which frees up your oven for the yummy goodness of pies and other sweet tasting foods.
Now the important question: How do you enter? Easy. Fill out the form below, and click submit. Once you click submit, a box will appear with a link. Copy that link and share it with your friends. Each friend that enters using that link, you get 3 EXTRA ENTRIES! Or, click the Share button and you can share directly to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and more.
Good luck and Happy Holiday's from Camp Chef!

Audit trigger 91plus
From PostgreSQL wiki
Generic audit trigger function (enhanced)
Here is an example of a generic trigger function used for recording changes to tables into an audit log table. It records quite a bit more detail than the older Audit trigger and does so in a more structured manner.
Row values are recorded as hstore fields rather than as flat text. This allows much more sophisticated querying against the audit history and allows the audit system to record only changed fields for updates.
Auditing can be done coarsely at a statement level or finely at a row level. Control is per-audited-table.
The information recorded is:
- Change type - Insert, Update, Delete or Truncate.
- client IP/port if not a UNIX socket
- Session user name ("real" user name, not effective username from SET ROLE or SECURITY DEFINER)
- transaction, statement, and wall clock timestamps
- Top-level statement that caused the change
- The row value before the change (or after in the case of INSERT)
- In the case of UPDATE, the new values of any changed columns. The new value can be reconstructed using row_value || changed_fields
- The transaction ID of the tx that made the change
- The application_name
- Target schema and table, by OID and name.
This trigger can not track:
- SELECTs
- DDL like ALTER TABLE
- Changes to system catalogs
Changes by the table owner and superusers are tracked, but can be trivially tampered with.
If you want this audit log to be trustworthy, your app should run with a role that has at most USAGE to the audit schema and SELECT rights to audit.logged_actions. Most importantly, your app must not connect with a superuser role and must not own the tables it uses. Create your app's schema with a different user to the one your app runs as, and GRANT your app the minimum rights it needs.
The trigger
You can obtain the latest version of the audit trigger from GitHub.
A copy - hopefully up to date - appears below.

Basic usage
SELECT audit.audit_table('target_table_name');
The table will now have audit events recorded at a row level for every insert/update/delete, and at a statement level for truncate. Query text will always be logged.
To later cancel the auditing:
DROP TRIGGER audit_trigger_row ON target_table_name; DROP TRIGGER audit_trigger_stm ON target_table_name;
If you want finer control use audit.audit_table(target_table regclass, audit_rows boolean, audit_query_text boolean, excluded_cols text[]) or CREATE TRIGGER the audit trigger yourself. For example:
SELECT audit.audit_table('target_table_name', 'true', 'false', '{version_col, changed_by, changed_timestamp}'::text[]);
... would create audit triggers on target_table_name that record each row change but omit the query text (the 'false' argument) and omit the version_col, changed_by and changed_timestamp columns from logged rows. An UPDATE that only changes ignored columns won't result in an audit record being created at all.
Ignoring some changes
In PostgreSQL 9.0 and above, you can add an optional WHEN clause to invocations of the trigger. This is great for auditing, as it lets you exclude some changes without even paying the cost of invoking the trigger.
A common case is to ignore a frequently updated field that isn't worth auditing. Unfortunately, you have to test for a change in all the fields you ARE interested in, there isn't an easy way to say "if anything except fields <x> and <y> have changed between OLD and NEW":
CREATE TRIGGER tablename_audit_insert_delete AFTER INSERT OR DELETE ON sometable FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE audit.if_modified_func(); CREATE TRIGGER tablename_audit_update_selective AFTER UPDATE ON sometable FOR EACH ROW WHEN ( (OLD.col1, OLD.col2, OLD.col3) IS DISTINCT FROM (NEW.col1, NEW.col2, NEW.col3) ) EXECUTE PROCEDURE audit.if_modified_func();
... but of course, you can do a lot more. You'll often need to separate your INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE trigger definitions rather than doing them all in one trigger definition, though.
Note the use of IS DISTINCT FROM rather than =. Think about the effect of NULL.
Time zone concerns
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE fields are always stored in UTC and are displayed in local time by default. You can control display using AT TIME ZONE in queries, or with SET timezone = 'UTC' as a per-session GUC. See the Pg docs.
Loosely based on Audit trigger by bricklen, completely rewritten by ringerc for more audit detail, hstore logging, and more.

Snookie/Jersey Shore Makeup Tutorial
I'm back with another tutorial! It's been a few videos since I've actually done makeup, so I knew it was time I got on it. I did this look a few weeks back. I was inspired by the whole Jersey Shore craze. A local radio station in my town was holding a Jersey Shore style carnival and they encouraged us all to come out in our tan, fist-pumping, bump-it glory. I noticed that in most of my Jersey Style reality shows, they favor a smokey eye, nude lip and lots of bronzer. I wanted to rock something similar but make it look cute!
Click here to see the tutorial!
Check out my video tutorial!
From the video, you can see that I pretty much went for a basic smokey eye/nude lip combo. This is actually a very easy look to pull off. I used minimal products including some very affordable drugstore options.
Here's What I Used:

NYC Bronzer in Bronze Gold
MAC Sunbasque Blush
Purely Cosmetics Diamond Finishing Powder

Brooklyn, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The Brooklyn Nets announced Monday that rookie guard Markel Brown is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after breaking the fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand.
Brown, the 44th overall pick of this year's NBA Draft, sustained the injury during a workout in Las Vegas. The Oklahoma State product is expected to be ready for the Nets' training camp, which opens on Sept. 26.
The 22-year-old averaged 10 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists for Brooklyn's entry in the Orlando Summer League.
Brown was acquired by the Nets from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for cash considerations following the 2014 draft.

A must By John from Dallas on 3/16/2016John from Dallas would recommend this product to a friendThe unit is simple, accurate, easy to install and a must for your RODI system. I'm thinking about adding another Deionizer and wish I had bought the triple unit for a few dollars more, but still an excellent buy.
Don't waste money on replacement filters By Joshua on 3/9/2016Joshua would recommend this product to a friendBasically this will allow you to take the guessing game out of when to replace your RODI filters. This is super easy to install and easy to use. To be fair I have no way to tell if this is accurate since I am completely relying on the TDS meter on this unit. But I did use this right after I changed all my RODI filters and I had a TDS of 320 going in and a TDS of 1 coming out. I use a 4 stage/75gpd RODI unit.
Easy to install By Mike on 2/5/2016Mike would recommend this product to a friendNo more guessing when it's time to change filters, resin or membrane.
Always trusted a local shop with a stick meter, that was a mistake I'll never make again. This meter is accurate and easy to install. Great price too. Wish I had ordered this a long time ago.
Accurate Reading! By Tony on 1/13/2016Tony would recommend this product to a friendThis is the most accurate meter I have owned!
Can't go without By Anthony on 12/21/2015Anthony would recommend this product to a friendWorks as advertised. Good to know when you're producing quality water!
Worth every penny By Corey on 10/21/2015Corey would recommend this product to a friendIts too good of a price to pass on if you dont have something to read tds. Highly recommend it. Works like a charm
Great Product By Randy on 7/19/2015Randy would recommend this product to a friendThis works as advertised. Does exactly what I need it to do. Purchased this back in Dec 2014, and its still working perfectly.
Very Nice Product By Eagle1 on 6/28/2015Eagle1 would recommend this product to a friendWorks well, I haven't had an issue with it yet, I have the 1 in and 1 out, I disconnected the out due to misplacement of the inlet valve not in line with my unit, I had a small leak, as long as the out is working I am good.
Works perfectly By Craig on 6/26/2015Craig would recommend this product to a friendWorks perfectly, letting me know my TDS before and after my DI resin. I bypass the DI resin until my TDS is below 10 and then monitor both sides after that. Recommended.
Nice Unit By Eagle1 on 6/11/2015Eagle1 would recommend this product to a friendInstalled this dual meter on my RO/DI unit today, I had to make up some different connections to get back to the supplied "T" on the in side but wasn't too much of a hassle, meter is correct on what my water is 120 going in and 0 coming out.

American Renaissance
American Renaissance
Also known as the New England Renaissance, the American Renaissance refers to a period of American literature from the 1830s to the end of the Civil War. The movement developed out of efforts by various American writers to formulate a distinctly American literature influenced by great works of European literature. Yet these novels, poems, and short stories utilized native dialect, history, landscape, and characters in order to explore uniquely American issues of the time, such as abolitionism, temperance, religious tolerance, scientific progress, the expanding western frontier, and the Native American situation.
Short fiction of the American Renaissance encompassed a broad range of subjects, settings, and styles—including Gothic romance, detective and horror stories, sea tales, historical fiction of colonial America, and progressive social problem tales, among others—all of which contributed to the first generation of great American literature. Critics consider the shorter work of Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, and Lydia Maria Child, as well as the posthumously published sensational thrillers of Louisa May Alcott, as representative of American Renaissance short fiction. These authors viewed the short story or novella as a viable form in which to produce parables that explored literary and political concerns. Critics regard some of the short fiction produced during the American Renaissance as some of the best American fiction ever written.
The American Renaissance was closely associated with an intellectual movement known as Transcendentalism, which is a philosophy or system of thought based on the idea that humans are essentially good, that humanity's deepest truths may be formulated through insight rather than logic, and that there is an essential unity to all of creation. Transcendentalism in the United States became popular among scholars, ministers, and intellectuals in and around Concord, Massachusetts. The American Transcendentalists advocated the development of a national culture and efforts at humanitarian social reform, as well as debate on such issues as the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, workers' rights, educational innovation, and freedom of religion. The magazine The Dial, founded in 1840 by Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson, served as a forum for the publication of fiction, poetry, and essays by leading American Transcendentalists and writers of the American Renaissance, such as the poet Walt Whitman and the essayists Henry David Thoreau, Bronson Alcott, George Ripley, Fuller, and Emerson.

[In the following essay, O'Brien discusses the contributions of Hawthorne, Melville, and Poe to the development of the American short story.]
Few writers whose life was so uneventful as that of Nathaniel Hawthorne have left more biographical materials of their work for the critic. Of the many paradoxes which his life and writings reveal, none is more remarkable than the fact that a man whose shyness held him exceptionally aloof from men should have so frankly set down his dreams and hopes, his...

[In the following excerpt, Buell provides an overview of developments in New England literature between 1815 and 1865.]
Let us start by thinking of New England's literary climate at midcentury as affected most powerfully by a Unitarian-Whig orthodoxy, emanating chiefly from Boston, that was, however, enriched and complicated by a strong dissenting force that had arisen from within it and by considerable literary activity that was on the upswing in...

[In the following essay, Steele argues that the fiction of Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville provide a counterexample to the Transcendentalist writings of Thoreau, Emerson, and Whitman.]
It makes a great deal of difference whether or not the self is seen as incarnating transcendent spiritual power. If God—as Emerson believed—is found at the root of the psyche, one's attitude toward...

[In the following essay, Reynolds asserts that the writers of American Renaissance literature presented a reconceptualization of the temperance movement in the antebellum era.]
America's literary flowering between 1835 and 1860, commonly known as the American Renaissance, owed much to the temperance movement that burgeoned in several forms during these years. No other single reform had so...

Objectives Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities are increasing and may negatively affect workers mental health. However, the impact of M&A on the risk of developing a mental disorder, rather than psychiatric symptoms, has not been investigated. The objectives of this study were to estimate and compare the 12-month incidence of depressive and anxiety disorders in workers who had and who had not experienced M&A in the last year.
Methods Employees aged 25 and 64 years old were randomly selected from the community and were followed for 1 year (n=3280). Questions about their experience in M&A in the past 12 months were asked. WHO's Composite International Diagnostic Interview–Auto 2.1 was used to assess depressive and anxiety disorders. The 12-month prevalence and 1-year incidence of mental disorders were estimated and compared in relation to M&A.
Results Participants who were exposed to M&A had a significant higher 1-year incidence of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) (6.7%) than the unexposed (2.4%). They were not different in the incidence of major depressive disorder. The exposed participants were 2.8 times more likely to have had a GAD than others and were about 2.4 times more likely to have developed any anxiety disorders over 1 year.
Conclusions M&A may lead to increased risk of GAD, which may, in return, evolve into major depression. Governments, employers and health professionals should be aware of this and work out plans to reduce the negative health outcomes of M&A.
Funding This study was funded by an operating grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). However, the CIHR played no role in study design, analysis and interpretation.
Competing interests None.
Ethics approval Ethics approval was provided by Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board of University of Calgary.

However, lady luck was about to smile on them. After a few days, RR's husband received a call from Kangaroo Kids.
KK - Hello, is this RR's husband?
RR's Husband - Yes, it is.
KK- This is Kangaroo Kids calling.
RR's Husband - What?
KK- This is Kangaroo Kids calling.
RR's Husband (doubtless forming an image of baby marsupials gathered around a phone somewhere and calling him) - Kangaroo...as in the animal?
KK - Yes, we have got a place for your child. Cough up the dough.
and so on...
Turns out it had slipped RR's mind to mention to her husband that she had shared his landline number with the playschool. Fortunately for all concerned, RR's husband quickly arrived at the understanding that his offspring's academic future was at stake and ran off to pay up. And a little girl has now earned the right to frolic with other....kangaroo kids.
This got me thinking. An activity not recommended for even the best of times, definitely a bad idea when one is a new mother. Maybe we were lagging behind. So far I had been rather comfortable in the fact that Adi is only six months or so. SCHOOL and all that nonsense was WAYYYYY out there in the comfortable distance. RR's experience hinted otherwise. I immediately sprung into action and decided that I would take matters into my immediate control and do what needs to be done. In other words, I called Mahesh and asked him to register at Kangaroo Kids. As a thank you, here is a picture of Mahesh waiting to stuff his face at Papa Pancho's - a dhaba-themed restaurant at Bandra. You can see he looks starved.
Soon after I took this picture, he told me "When Adi is about two, we should get a puppy...so that we continue to be used to the hardship."
To get back to the playschool, we registered Adi at KK for the June 2008 batch and were feeling mighty puffed at being so proactive when a couple friend of ours dropped in to see us that evening. Their daughter is only a couple of months older to Adi.....its really surprising how our entire friends-list comprises people with kids, where are all our single friends, the ones we used to hang out with, eh? Anyhow, so when Mahesh asked our visiting friends about good playschools (smirking mentally, I am certain), they fired a list of the top academies...and get this - we had NOT HEARD OF any of the schools on the list.
This set me thinking yet again. I am quite, quite certain that I am not going to be an Over-Achieving Parent. Sure, I'd like Adi to get a great start and everything but the point is this - I am not quite sure how does one go about it. I have been trusting my instinct for the last six months and I was rather counting on it to come to my aid for the rest of my parenting years also. Sure hope I am doing the right thing.
However, if you have contacts in the top playschools of Mumbai, please do help out a parent in need. Else, it looks like marsupial babies for Adi.
I hope they don't read this post and take his name off the list.
