'The Good Wife' Fan Columnist: When Different Circles Collide

Remember last season when Will and Alicia had to try a case in
military court
? The unfamiliar rules of conduct almost cost them their case. In this week's episode, they find themselves in a similar pickle. Only this time, instead of uniforms and medals, it's all about the wigs. Yes, the British are coming, and they have it in for their former colonists.
Oh, Kalinda becomes Eli's go-to investigator. Things don't get much better than that.
The Case in Evidence
In "Death Zone," the defendant, Danny, has written a book accusing an American millionaire named Cardiff of taking the oxygen bottles from a dying climber on an ill-fated Everest trip. In the American courts, Alicia wins Danny's case when the plaintiff can't prove libel.
But rather than withdraw, Cardiff, sues again--this time in the British courts, where libel laws favor the plaintiffs. And his British barrister, Thrush (played by the always-welcome Eddie Izzard) warns Will that he comes from the England of football (i.e., soccer) thugs, so expect a rough game.
Despite those great ads on BBCAmerica for
Law & Order: UK
that say the British courts are just like American ones--but with wigs!--Will and Alicia soon find out that's not quite true. The British judge may allow them to conduct witness depositions using video-teleconferencing, but he still expects the same deference and traditions as in the British courts. Both Will and Alicia falter badly when it comes to showing the proper submissive attitude to the judge. (Alicia's inability to be "demure" for the judge is a big turn-on for Will.)
Fortunately, Danny's British solicitor, Brannon, saves the day with his arcane knowledge of British libel law. By maneuvering into evidence the fact that Cardiff had taken gear from a dying Japanese climber on another trip, Brannon gets the judge to consider Danny's book a "warning" to other climbers about Cardiff's behavior. The judge buys it, and Cardiff loses his suit.
Hostile Witness
Diane approaches Will about bidding on a plum job--handling all the civil cases aimed at government employees through the State's Attorney's office. Will is skeptical, given the presence of both Peter's wife Alicia and campaign manager Eli at Lockhart-Gardner. They agree, however, the annual $20 million fee would be nice.
But when Diane talks to Peter about the work, he says that he's concerned about their continuing association with known drug dealer Lamont Bishop. Although Diane insists they only handle his legitimate business issues, Peter suggests they allow the state department of taxation to audit Lockhart-Gardner's books. A good-faith gesture.
Will doesn't like it, and neither does Diane. And it turns out that the other firms bidding for the work aren't being asked to open their books. It might have ended there, but Diane decides to talk to Peter once more. Not knowing that Peter no longer occupies that fabulous Chicago apartment, she knocks on Alicia's door. No Peter.
So she asks Alicia her opinion. Our good wife says that she's always tried to keep her personal and business lives separate. Diane pushes for an answer. So Alicia says, no--I wouldn't do it.
The next day, a suspicious Diane asks Will if Peter and Alicia have separated. A wary Will says that she should ask Alicia herself. Diane settles for getting Will to promise that if Alicia is hurting their business in any way--by making the State's Attorney an enemy, for instance--they will let her go.
Friend of the Court
"Why haven't we met before?"
This question, from Eli to Kalinda, reminds the audience that
The Good Wife'
s two most fascinating characters have never interacted before. (Her answer, "We've traveled in different circles," sums it up nicely.) Though Kalinda helps Eli snag an important crisis management gig with a national political consultant, the circumstances of their meeting are less important than the meeting itself.
Alan Cumming
has hinted in several recent interviews that Eli and Kalinda will develop a bantering relationship--and maybe more--this season. If this episode is any indication, this looks like the start of a beautiful friendship.
Summary Judgment
Was anyone besides me surprised
The Good Wife
didn't follow up on
last week
's unfinished case? No matter--I'm sure they'll revisit it later this season.
That said, some of
's most entertaining cases occur when the legal team gets pushed out of its comfort zone. Will's face off with "soccer thug" Thrush combined with the triumph of previously bashful solicitor Brannon made for fun television. But Will, really--when Alicia makes you hot by being feisty with the judge, can't you think of a more hygienic rendezvous spot than your executive bathroom? In a word--ewww. (Fortunately, Alicia saw Diane keeping an eagle eye on them and called it off.)
With points both high (Eli and Kalinda--yeah!) and low (Will promising Diane he'd fire Alicia if necessary--boo!), "Death Zone" gave us a good, solid episode. Even better--next week, Lisa Edelstein (formerly
's Cuddy)
makes her debut
as Will's ex. Does anyone know if Alicia knows martial arts or are stiletto heels enough of a weapon for defending her turf?

In this second of three articles, we'll take the business rules developed in the first article and transform them into the conceptual and logical designs.
In the first article [ ^ ] of this series we presented a background of the supertype-subtype paradigm: its implied inheritance, and at times multiple inheritance, and two essential properties, completeness and exclusivity. Then we established the business rules from which we'll design solutions. As you recall, the rules leading us to think of a hierarchical solution were expressed in process model diagrams done in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) graphical language; I'll repeat a key diagram and other business rules as a refresher.
While the sample problem strongly suggests designing in a generalization hierarchy, we as modelers are free not to. I'll begin, therefore, with explaining the several strengths of the construct. Then its on to the conceptual model itself; I'll show you the designs using the same compact box-in-box style for supertypes and subtypes we saw in article one.
Although multiple inheritance is not yet a problem for us in either conceptual or logical modeling, we must make sure to express it properly in nested-box style. After doing so, we'll examine how we can fine-tune the design to make it extensible. Then we translate the conceptual into the logical. After all that's gone before, this will be anticlimactic.
I think you'll find this middle article a break from the complexity of the first--the sample problem is not complex. In the third [ ^ ] , though, we take our final logical design through alternate physical models and analysis again deepens. We'll see examples of implementing roll-your-own referential integrity, cascade delete, and safe read-only column enforcement.
The full set of BPMN process diagrams are available in Part 1; see the section on business rules. Here we review the excerpt that is relevant to modeling with a supertype and subtypes for our sample problem.
Before reaching the outer exclusive gateway, the app user sets the information fields common to all employees--our supertype. Because the gateway has a default path allowing her to circumvent setting any of the other fields specific to specialized employee types--the subtypes--we know the hierarchy will be incomplete. Or the user can continue to fill in manager- or engineer-specific fields.
If the employee is both a manager and an engineer then he is dubbed a mangineer, and additional fields must be set. (I know what you're thinking. A mangineer is half-man half-engineer. Sure.) This means that the entity class we'll model must multiply derive both subtypes; this multiple inheritance implies overlapping subtypes, and will complicate our physical design efforts.
We're at the blank page stage, and must translate this information into the entities with their attributes and relationships that will support the system, now and as it evolves.
At the highest level, the process model is telling us that we are to gather and store data about employees. If we stop our analysis here, then we create one employee entity and done. But if we are to consider designing the employee with one supertype and several subtypes, we mean to split each employee member's data over several entities in one-one relationships. Can we justify this?
In further analysis, the process model strongly suggests the generalization hierarchy: the root or supertype employee is to hold the attributes and relationships common to all specialized entities as per the Fill in Employee Info task and other business rules; the manager and engineer entity subtypes, to directly derive the employee and extend it with their specialized tasks and own business rules; and the mangineer, to extend the manager and engineer by the same means (in the dreaded diamond pattern inheritance). So the question really is this: because we're splitting entity members over several entities, how do we justify the construct itself?
Without elaboration, entity decomposition is mostly associated with the process of normalization, in which attribute dependencies are analyzed, and, to a lesser extent, the practice of designing without nulls. Hierarchy generalization is the third kind of attribute projection; here are the major advantages:
As to the last point: by showing the full hierarchy in this high-level design, we open up the possibility of exploring different entity merge patterns in the physical design. In contrast, by presenting one entity with column after nullable column and highly generalized relationships, the options are made less clear. We'll work through several employee structures and their implications when we do the physical model in Part III.
We defer for now the mangineer entity class and discuss it in its own subsection. The diagram above captures the rest of the business rules.
The figure above was generated using an ER/Studio CASE tool for making conceptual diagrams. The tool allows for adding attributes, which we have, and which facilitates generation of the logical model, but we've left them off the diagram to focus more on the supertype-subtypes and their relationships. In this graphic notation, the relationship line itself is used to convey optionality (minimum participation): dotted for 0 and solid for 1.
In the first article, we discussed supertype-subtype properties completeness and exclusivity using box-in-box diagramming and labeled each entity set with a representative membership. Here you'll recognize the same nested rectangles with rounded edges--generated from the same tool--but this time we're showing the Employee entity class as the supertype and Manager and Engineer as its subtypes. These diagrams cannot directly show, aside from annotations, [non-]adherence to the properties.
Supertype employee participates in a relationship with Department and two more with Referral. Because of inheritance, these apply to the manager and engineer entities as well. The engineer adds it own relationship, as does the mangineer, which inherits all relationships from the other three (not shown). Recall from the first article that a subtype vertex inherits all attributes and relationships from all vertices in each path from the subtype to the root supertype.
Diagrams in this phase collectively must have enough detail to convey the entire high-level data design, but can leave off some particulars. Here we've deferred specifying the intersection entity between the engineer and Skill.
Another detail that is often left off is the classification entity. Such an entity represents a set of legal values for a category attribute in another entity. These are generally noted but left off of diagrams because they tend to proliferate, and because they are mostly enforced by check constraints--e.g., category attribute DayOfWeek. As my rule of thumb, if the classification aids the discussion, or may be realized in the physical design because it helps document the database or can be referenced by more than one category attribute, show it. Engineering Discipline is a classification entity.
Engineering Discipline
In the previous article, we warned against refactoring an entity class that multiply derives the supertype in a diamond pattern into one that singly derives the supertype by removing its multiple relationships and making it a direct subtype. This is shown in the figure above lhs. The Mangineer retains all its attributes and relationships, but what should we do with those that were directly inherited from the manager and engineer?
Of course this is a silly question: the manager's and engineer's attributes and relationships must be duplicated into the mangineer. The essential problem here is we are making a design decision that should be deferred for the physical modeling stage. The conceptual model must be a true blueprint of the meaning of the data--a guide for decisions to come throughout the lifecycle of the system--and it is no longer a viable reference when we throw out associations and duplicate data. (As a lesser point, and without elaboration, it is also a poor physical design to begin with.)
That leaves as viable options the middle and rhs panes. The rhs pane in this graphical notation is the equivalent of making the Storefront Appartment from the first article into an association class. As with that example, although we can infer that the mangineer is also a subtype of employee by the relationships' cardinality, the direct association is lost. The subtlety is also lost on the CASE tool functionality that turns the conceptual diagram into the logical:
Storefront Appartment
The EmployeeID should of course be the primary key for the mangineer, as it is with all entities in the hierarchy. The tool does this correctly for the middle pane design, as we'll see in the logical model.
Data structuring that supports the business rules and functionality is necessary to good design, but not sufficient. It must also be extensible--i.e., can anticipate changes to the system and thereby require minimal re-structuring over time. It is better to redo some isolated code rather than alter table or indexed view schemas. So let's ask the business side this question: Will you record skills for managers in the future? If yes, our best choice may be relationship generalization:
Here we've moved the many-many relationship with Skill from the Engineer to the Employee. In the generalization hierarchy, and assuming the subtype is singly derived, any subtype relationship can be moved up the ancestor path to another subtype or the root supertype itself. When doing so, minimum participation from the hierarchy to another entity cannot remain mandatory, as the relationship with skill shows.
The decision to generalize the relationship means that when the time comes in which we record skills for managers, we're still right--we have our extensibility, or equivalently, stability of design. But as you may have realized, there is a cost here: we've traded in rules enforcement for this stability. The foreign key in the composite primary key for the intersection entity between skill and employee won't be enough to enforce referential integrity. Until skills are recorded for managers, we must also ensure that skills are recorded only for engineers. We make a note and defer to the physical design as we often do.
But there is another problem, a subtler one. If the hierarchy were complete, then when we also record skills for managers, the code we are to write for referential integrity enforcement can be retired. Because it is not, at that time we must modify the code instead to ensure that plain vanilla employees are not associated with skills. Subtle yes; so we add a note to the note.
As one more note, entities themselves are often generalized in conceptual designs to achieve stability--e.g. entities man and woman are merged as person. Their relationships are generalized as well, and the same issues as discussed above apply.
This is the model from which we'll be moving forward. We see that the many-many relationship with Skill has been generalized to the Employee level to support extensibility. We also see that the Mangineer has a new relationship; remember our rule: every subtype must extend the classes (with attributes or relationships) in its ancestor path(s)--this is true for singly derived subtypes and just as true for multiply derived subtypes.
No diagramming notation can show all business rules. As a corollary, not all business rules can be enforced by structuring alone. We have two examples of this: 1) skills can only be associated with engineers, and perhaps also with managers at a later date; and 2) a mangineer exists if a person is both manager and engineer. (As you recall, this second point was made clear in the BPMN model.)
Your data modeling CASE tool should have a function for automatically translating the conceptual diagram into a logical one. What we've done for this section is convert the simple box-in-box style into Information Engineering Crows Feet (IE).
In this intermediate stage we are still database agnostic, and have a chance to do further analysis and make structural decisions without business stakeholder involvement, and before committing to a database implementation. The attributes become more prominent, and we analyze them in part as to their dependencies--functional, multivalued and join--to decompose any relations as needed to achieve a desired level of normalization. We can denormalize later in the physical design and do other things to achieve performance goals, but our aim here is to make a normalized model that will be the basis for any implementation.
For our small model we make a couple decisions, but defer others. We notice that for our problem, at least, the heavy lifting was done in the conceptual stage.
In IE the semi-ellipse is the subtyping symbol. If ours had an "X" in it, it would mean that membership in the three subtypes is mutually exclusive; we leave it off because ours of course is overlapping. Our hierarchy is also incomplete, but we can't show that graphically in IE. We can suggest it, however, in the discriminator name, IsMgr0_Engr1_Both1_Nil3: I've placed the _Nil3 suffix to mean of no subtype. (And also as a replacement for null. I've made the attribute not null: always design out nulls when possible for fewer querying errors.)
At this stage, relationships are still not foreign keys, so we don't yet worry that the key for the mangineer is in three relationships. These relationships together, in fact, strongly suggest one-half of a complex business rule: a person is a mangineer only if she is also a manager and engineer. It doesn't, however, imply the logical converse--the flip side of the rule we must enforce. And this will be a challenge for the database implementation.
The case can be made that we should transform subtypes and supertypes into relations at this point. The argument here is that the logical model should be ready to be transformed into the physical, but it can't be because no relational database directly supports the generalization hierarchy. (We don't herein consider SQL99 extensions that may support it in the object-relational model.) The counter-argument is that the conversion involves possible merging of tables, and these are performance and querying issues best deferred to the physical design. I agree and apparently so does ER/Studio: the rollup and rolldown capabilities are available for physical modeling only.
There are two more decisions made here to complete the design. First, the non-specific, generalized relationship between skill and employee has not been resolved. It could easily have been, but the CASE tool that transforms the logical to the physical can write in an associative entity for us. Second, we're letting the classification entity Engineering Discipline remain to become a table.
I no longer remember the exact wording or the author if the quote was ever attributed; here is what I do remember:
If houses were built the same way software is developed, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
All too often data modeling is done informally without artifacts--on a white board, and then wiped off as a courtesy to the next group using the conference room. I hope these first two articles and the one to come inspire you to adopt a formal design methodology if you haven't already done so.

Written in the early 7th or 8th century, Dream of the Rood was one of the first early Christian poems written in English. Recounting Christ's passion and death from the perspective of the Cross, Dream of the Rood recognizes the power of redemptive suffering and the Christian's fundamental need for salvation. With early medieval literary devices, the poem describes Christ's passion as a battle waged against sin and death. In this three-class study, students peel back the layers of imagery, language, and symbolism to reveal a message about the sacredness of all human beings present in medieval literature.
Dream of the Rood is suitable for high school students and can provide support in a British Literature course, in a Medieval Literature course, in a religion course, or as a stand-alone work in a standard English class.

Read For a Cure!
Happy first day of summer to all! Been a long winter, hasn't it? Well, perhaps not for everyone…but it sure seems like it. I'm an author who lives along the central coast of California and our weather is never much weather if you compare it to the rest of the country. That is true!
Regardless, things have been crazy this year. So many challenges these last few years. Job changes, health challenges, new opportunities, sad news, good news…
Good news! I'm with a wonderful publisher and this year I had my first book come out. It's been pretty exciting and for the month of June, I've had the opportunity to give back. Every month, Decadent Publishing donates the proceeds from a chosen title to finding a cure for cancer. This month, that title is The Kraken's Mirror, by yours truly!
Why do they do this? Well, Heather Bennett is one of the owners of Decadent and she's been fighting cancer in her family for far too long. She's lost too many relatives, too many friends. So, when she began Decadent, she dedicated the company to the cause she believes in.
A cause the authors of Decadent have embraced. For the month of June, help Decadent in the good fight! This cause is important to me and to my agent. We're both donating our sales for the month to the cause.
If you've considered trying something new, a quirky adventure story featuring a matchmaking kraken, a feisty widow and pirates wearing i-pods…check out The Kraken's Mirror and help battle cancer. For everyone who have lost a loved one or knows someone who deals with the reality of cancer on a daily basis… Let's do it!

It's Wednesday night at the Sunset Marquis, a Hollywood hotel where Springsteen, Jagger, Rod Stewart, Aerosmith and most other self-respecting rockers stay when they're in town. We're sitting by the pool waiting for Stevie Wonder to perform and wondering exactly how many TV sets have, over the years, crash-landed in our immediate vicinity. LA being LA, no one's actually swimming.
My friend, who works in the music business and got us invites to this bash, opens his wallet to reveal a card containing his name, address, and the signature of a doctor. It cost about $100, he says, and for the past decade has helped him purchase and consume marijuana throughout California. Soon, however, it may become worthless. A jury at the US District Court in LA is currently hearing the case of Charles Lynch, the owner of a shop in Morro Bay called Central Coast Compassionate Caregivers.
Mr Lynch is on trial because his store sells just one product: cannabis. If found guilty, he could get five years. The case revolves around a single point. Under Proposition 215, a California state law which, in 1996, legalised weed for "medicinal purposes," Mr Lynch claims to have been operating legally.
The cops see things differently: they say marijuana is still banned under federal law, which is superior to state law, thereby making the defendant a common drug dealer. As ever in a test case, the trial's implications will be felt beyond the courtroom.
Should Lynch be found guilty, it will spell disaster for laid-back Angelenos and the mini-industry of doctors who are paid to perscribe them marijuana for spurious reasons such as "anxiety." Other pot retailers, in places such as Venice, will be forced out of business.
It will also be a spanner in the works of Hollywood, which is about to enjoy a revival of the "stoner movie." Pot is constantly smoked on the TV shows Entourage and Weeds, and with a bong-puffing Ben Kingsley just a hit in The Wackness, the soft drug is firmly back in vogue.
Today, Seth Rogen's marijuana comedy Pineapple Express hits cinemas; soon, Rhys Ifans will star in a biopic of Howard Marks. So while Charles Lynch stands in the dock, most of Hollywood is secretly praying that he's acquitted. This town needs its pot smokers, because the film industry's next big trend depends on it.

The Onion, in a searing bit of irony that transforms into reality before our eyes.
As media coverage of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 ramps up this week, citizens across the United States collectively realized they would rather think about the terrorist attacks of 2001 than about anything else that has transpired in the subsequent decade.
"The events of Sept. 11 were unspeakably tragic, but really, when you think about it, things have only grown more horrible and unbearable since then," said Phyllis Bennett of San Jose, CA, who considered 9/11 a notably less unpleasant topic than the Iraq War, the worldwide financial meltdown, Hurricane Katrina, the nation's debt burden, the deaths of 6,200 U.S. troops, China's rise into a global superpower, the housing market, relentless partisan bickering, millions of job losses, the war in Afghanistan, nuclear proliferation, unchecked climate change, declining household income, swine flu, or the 9/11 Truth movement.
"That was an awful day for America, but at least the nation came together and people actually seemed to care about one another. Just compare that to now, Jesus Christ."
While stating they felt "kind of terrible" about it, Americans expressed a longing to return to those "better days" of shared national agony in September 2001, when everybody truly believed things couldn't get any worse.
Of course if you would prefer to be consumed by grief and horror on this day, then go ahead and read this. Personally I was only able to read a few paragraphs in before becoming too nauseous to continue.
And if you would rather be reminded of the actions of one of 9/11's biggest heroes, Rick Rescorla, then by all means read his story. And be sure to click on the links embedded there.

Europa Universalis III: In Nomine
Not an American user?
In Nomine requires the previous expansion, Napoleon's Ambition, and of course EU3 itself to be played.53 more years of gameplay have been added, by setting the starting date to Oct. 13, 1399 at the coronation of Henry IV. This means that a number of countries are now available for play, including the remains of the Byzantine Empire.
Religion and colonization have undergone important changes. Every missionary and colony a country has cost a monthly maintenance sum, and both the success/growth, respectively, and the cost is controlled by the new missionary and colonial maintenance sliders in the economy interface. This means that missionaries are no longer a one-shot deal of failure or success, and that expanding one's colonial empire too fast will lead to a serious strain on the economy.
Religious tolerance received an update as well - gone are the "sliders" that allowed you to change tolerance in the blink of an eye. Instead, religions are sorted into three categories: State religion, heretics (same religious group) and heathens. The default tolerance values for these groups can only be changed by National Ideas and the new Decisions.
"Rebels with a cause" have been introduced. The game now differentiates between a number of different types, such as nationalist, colonial and noble revolts, all with different behaviors. Heretics might convert your provinces to heretical beliefs, nationalists are likely to defect or declare independence, and so on. If you are unable to defeat the rebels you can sometimes also surrender to their demands, resulting in loss of prestige, policy slider changes, and other rebel type specific demands.
Decisions is another important addition, which comes in three kinds: Religious, country, and province decisions. Decisions are somewhat like the normal events in EU3, but are are "on-demand" and can be enacted at any time, as long as you meet the requirements. There are both generic and country specific "flavor" decisions, letting you institute the Spanish Inquisition or the Russian Patriarchate, or the forming of Great Britain or Spain.
And the list goes on. For example: the naval game, Papacy, Holy Roman Empire, diplomacy have all undergone various changes. There are more advisor types, an option to use scorched earth-tactics, elections and parliaments have been added to republics, a new mission system, and the AI and Interface has received a number of additional tweaks.

Amendment 64 passage lights up marijuana convention in Denver
The green rush is on -- 150 years after fortune-hunters rushed to the Rockies in search of gold. On Tuesday, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64, cementing this state's reputation as the cannabis capitol of the country. That vote should certainly light up a convention scheduled months ago that starts today in Denver: The National Marijuana Business Conference 2012.
Pass the Cheetos and Goldfish.
The event, sponsored by the Medical Marijuana Business Daily, is billed as "two days of workshops, case studies, expert panels & keynotes to help you grow your MMJ-related business." And many of those experts -- including local attorney Brian Vicente -- will be discussing the ramifications of both Amendment 64 in Colorado and Initiative 502 in Washington state, which also passed on Tuesday, as well as the new green rush.
Online ticket sales have ended, but there will be a few available at the door at the Sherman Events Center. Registration is a hefty $500 -- but at least you can use a credit card, unlike at most dispensaries. And yes, the banking dilemma is up for discussion this morning.

Haven't seen you around in awhile, huh?
Do you remember how last Spring I was so excited to move to our current rental and see all the wildlife? Yes, and how I was so excited about the woodchuck I saw by our shed?
No more Woodchuck.
Until this evening, that is. Now my husband will have something else to take care of. And then we will all mourn the woodchuck. *sniffle.*
Anyway, now that I have offended all the varmint lovers out there, let's get to the point of this post--starting with the before AND after! (hey, you've already read this far, you deserve it).
Don't think you've seen it all yet, though. Because I have a big surprise at the end...
You don't want to wait?
Well, okay, here's the top!
Since I'm in a wax-resist stencil craze, I thought I would experiment a little more with the technique. If you missed my post on this really simple and fun way to stencil, please hop over to my post on the Wax-Resist Stenciled Planter. You won't be disappointed :)
Okay, back to the dreary "before":
I got this poor old dresser off craigslist and was sooo excited. Actually, about three weeks before I got it I had seen it on craigslist and sent a message inquiring about it. And heard nothing. I was bummed, but figured someone else got it first. Poo. (sorry, trying to housebreak a puppy. Poo comes to mind).
Then it magically popped up again! Woo Hoo! And I put my phone number in the message this time, which must have been the magic bullet because I brought it home later that day. Score.
I simply laid a hot, wet rag on top of sections, then peeled off this green latex.
Isn't it great when it comes off this easy?
Then I sand, baby, sanded. This was before I realized that I should really just take off all the detail pieces, finish them separately and then reattach them.
...and here I am doing just that.
It's Mama Crowbar and Baby Crowbar!! (remember baby crowbar that we used on the Upholstered Chair Fit for a Princess? Well, this is the one that "L" gave me because I
Aaaaand here's where I got a little frustrated.
Note to self: Never, and I mean NEVER use hot glue to fix your furniture. Seriously? All it does is gum up the cracks so that you can't really ever fix it properly without fixing the hot-glue mess!! Ugh!
Now, I love hot glue as much as the next crafter. But it has its place.
You wouldn't fix the cracked motor block of your car with JB Weld, would you? (Oh, wait. Yes, someone out there would. We bought your car. Stupid).
Bad example. But still, don't use hot glue to glue your furniture back together. Just. don't.
In happier news, I was excited to find this nice walnut veneer inlay under the paint!!
I ended up taking off the "box" that sits on top of the dresser, along with the brackets on each side. I sanded, broke apart the old bad glue job & fixed the brackets. And I finished the top "box" separately from the top of the dresser. Here's my list of products:
As We Observe Memorial Day: Thank you to all who have lost loved ones & friends while they were defending our country's freedom. We cannot thank you and your family enough for the sacrifices that have been made on our behalf. God Bless.

George Kennan was the State Department's top hand on Moscow. As the U.S.-Soviet alliance unraveled after World War II, no one seemed to understand the Kremlin better than Kennan.
One of his most insightful observations was cautionary: Do not think about the standoff with the Soviet Union as principally a military confrontation.
"[Y]ou didn't always have to occupy another country to dominate its life," Kennan noted. "You could threaten it, or you could subvert its government by various ways, including the time-honored phenomenon of puppet government."
The message was clear: Moscow had many ways of establishing its domination and authority.
The White House would do well to recall Kennan's warning today, as the Kremlin dips once again into its Soviet-era bag of dirty tricks. At present, Vladimir Putin seems to be outwitting the West.
Already he has moved the goal posts, reshaping the borderlands between Russia and the transatlantic community. The changes began in 2008, when Russian forces wrested control of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia and recognized them as "independent states."
The process is being repeated this year in Ukraine, where America and Europe have now written off Crimea. In the confrontation with Moscow, the West has defined down "success" to to mean "Russia pulls up short of grabbing Ukraine outright." If Putin doesn't march in Kiev, the West will declare a diplomatic victory and call it a day.
That would be a tragic mistake. The West can no longer ignore reality. Regardless of whether the weapon is a platoon of goons or political warfare, the Russian regime's aspirations are a threat to the peace, prosperity and security of the transatlantic community.
Yet even after weeks of angry anguish over Russia aggression toward Ukraine, the Obama administration clearly still doesn't get it. It pursues incremental sanctions, micro military deployments, verbal barrages and now, incredibly, hashtags—all in the effort to get Russia to act "normal" again.
Mr. President, Russia is acting normal. Force, intimidation, lies, corruption, suspicion and greed are business as usual in the Putin polity.
Washington would be wise to acknowledge that — and to reflect on Kennan's chief advice in how to handle Moscow.
There's no need to swing from the current toothless response to full-bore militarization to bring Moscow to heel. Putin commands a second-rate Soviet Empire. U.S. strategy should be to get back to the place where America can ignore Moscow.
Yes, military power does have a role to play. The U.S. needs to keep NATO credible. For example, today, America doesn't have a single operational tank in Western Europe. That sends the wrong message. More realistic would be to retain three ground brigades in Europe: one for training; one ready for rapid deployment in case of emergency, and one available to exercise with allies, thereby demonstrating Western solidarity and improving interoperability.
The U.S. should also junk arms control cooperation with Moscow. Putin will build the nuclear force he wants, regardless of what America does. Washington should scrap the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, build missile defenses and modernize the nuclear arsenal based on what's best for U.S. security — not what's best for let's make a deal with Moscow.
Two more suggestions:
- Play the human rights card. The Magnitsky Act is a powerful tool to name and shame Russian leaders — much better than the silly sanctions game going on now.
- Fix the dysfunctional U.S. public diplomacy operation. It's time we went after the Kremlin's lies and disinformation and set the record straight.
Moscow employs every trick in the Soviet-era book of "Winning Through Intimidation." It's time the West showed that, we too, can work from the same playbook.

Goodbye, for now, King George
Updated 6:14 pm, Thursday, May 30, 2013
George Strait will be back in San Antonio many times. After all, the Poteet native lives in The Dominion.
But his concert Saturday at the Alamodome may be the last one here. It's the final show of the first leg of the 2013 edition of the two-year "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour," named for his 1985 No. 1 single, and dates for the next part are yet to be announced.
Tickets sales broke the Alamodome's record for the fastest and largest sellout with more than 72,000 sold in six minutes March 9, the same day as the finals for his 31st annual George Strait Team Roping Classic in the San Antonio Rose Palace.
The concert will mark The King of Country's eighth performance at the Alamodome since his first George Strait Country Music Festival in 1993 shortly after the facility opened.
Also on the bill are Martina McBride and Miranda Lambert, both veterans of Strait tours.
They are just two of the big-name artists whose beginning or mid-level careers received boosts from being included in Strait's festivals and arena tours over the years. The list includes Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Wynonna, Clay Walker, Aaron Tippin, LeAnn Rimes, Sara Evans, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence, Terri Clark and John Michael Montgomery.
"He's one of the artists who inspired me to move to Nashville and be a singer," Jackson said in an interview in 2001 prior to the Strait festival at the Alamodome.
Paisley also praised the chance to share the stage with Strait in another 2001 interview.
"I think it will be one of the best moves we ever made," said Paisley, who today is one of country's superstars. "There are all these George Strait and Alan Jackson fans who may not know who I am and they see me play — and that's priceless, very important for the career."
After the final leg of The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, Strait plans to continue to play select dates around the country and to record and release singles.
After all, he's still riding high in radio's saddle.
Last week, Strait garnered the most No. 1 singles for an artist in any genre when he scored his 60th with "Give It All We Got Tonight."
Fans and country stars joined a push called "Sixty for Sixty" for Strait to garner his 60th No. 1 while he was 60 years old. They came close. He turned 61 on May 18, two days before the latest chart-topper.
"I may be 61, but I don't feel a day over 60," Strait said in a statement. "I didn't realize we were making history (with the song) — I just hoped we were putting out music that my fans would enjoy."
"Give It All We Got Tonight" is from Strait's 40th studio album, "Love Is Everything," which debuted last week at No. 1 on the Billboard country chart and at No. 2 on the all-genre chart.
"This has been a fantastic birthday week," Strait said in a statement.
A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Strait has sold more than 65 million albums, earned more than 60 industry awards and is the only artist in music history to chart at least one Top 10 hit single each year during a recording career of more than 30 years.
Ray Benson, founder, and guitarist for the Grammy-winning western swing band Asleep at the Wheel, recalls the day he met Strait, who opened for Benson in 1978 at Gruene Hall. Benson thought Strait sounded good.
After Strait found stardom, he returned the favor a number of times by adding Asleep at the Wheel to his shows.
"Years later, when we were opening for him, George was talking about the early days and a certain country star who did not treat him very well," Benson said. "I told him, 'I guess we must have treated you OK.'
"He said, 'You wouldn't be here if you hadn't.'"

"American Women"
Aerosol Warfare Gallery fights domestic violence with the multi-artist show "American Women." "The artwork isn't dark at all," gallery founder Gonzo247 says. "We're not trying to focus on the situation these women are in.

"Halfies" is a Latin-flavored song sung by Roosevelt Franklin's friend, A. B. Cito. He sings about how you should always do "halfies" when you're eating with a friend, which means that you should share your lunches with each other, so both of you get to try a little bit of everything.

Hardwood is a Natural Choice
Several houses have timber flooring in every room. Many however feature a blend of wood, carpeting, as well as tile, if not vinyl and linoleum. Hardwood flooring is relatively expensive, and isn't always the best choice for each and every room in the house, nor is it usually needed in all the rooms. You can of course have wood flooring in any area you choose to, even restrooms and utility suites, if you are willing to invest time to keep it well maintained. - wood flooring westchester county
Hard wood is a natural decision for living rooms, dining areas, and great rooms. One problem you might run into is what to do if you don't want to spend too much for hardwood flooring, nevertheless, you have several rooms as well as hallways that run with each other, and you would prefer to have the identical flooring throughout. It's really a dilemma.
There is much to be said regarding Laminates as Well
When affordability is the concern, laminate can be a good option. Laminate has a quantity of things going for this. It is much less pricey than hardwood, it may be made to look like hard wood, and it is much easier to deploy than hardwood flooring. When you can figure out which side of a plank is up, you'll be able to install a laminate floor yourself. No nails or screws are needed. Your planks simply take together.
Laminate can also be long lasting, though much less so as is true hardwood, but there's the upside to that too. Laminate is as easy to remove as it is to install if the time arrive you want to replace your existing floor. One problem with laminate, and a pretty important one, can it be will do little however to increase the resale value of your home, while hardwood flooring tends to make all of your house look more costly. If on the other hand, you are wanting to stay in your home unless you are carried out, the second-hand issue may not be important.
Engineered Wood Flooring-a Compromise, or Simply the Way to Go?
That literally brings us to engineered wood. Engineered timber is a happy channel. For example, you can yellow sand down hardwood flooring many times for refinishing. You cannot sand down laminate flooring at all, since the surface coating and also the underlying fake solid wood pattern are ultra-thin. On the other hand, the surface of built wood flooring consists of a layer of real wood. Manufactured wood can be sanded lower two or three times, in fact not more than that. How many times do you sand lower your floors in order to refinish them? Not all that often probably. Score a point for engineered wooden.
Another nice characteristic of engineered timber is it is more dependable than solid wood. It is unlikely to shrink, twist, or expand below changing conditions. Manufactured wood is also very durable. After all, it is engineered to be that way. You need to use engineered wood in parts of the house wherever hardwood is not advised; in a basement for instance.
There are several ways to set up engineer wood, based upon how the planks are usually constructed. It can be nailed or even glued down. This type of flooring also comes in panels the can be in shape together. This can help you to install your flooring yourself, just as you can with laminate floors.
Whether engineered flooring can increase the resale value of your home is an empty question, but "probably" would be a good answer. The majority of prospective buyers will probably be quite content having engineered flooring, which usually by the way comes in many colors and habits.
Although it may seem like this, this is not really a everlasting sales pitch for engineered wooden flooring, it's just that it is a sort of flooring that is definitely worth looking at given its numerous strong points along with multiple uses. - wood flooring westchester county

AT&T adds 4G LTE access to 11 markets, expands coverage in 6 more
AT&T has rolled out its 4G LTE network into 11 new markets and expanded in six others, as part of its national roll-out of the high-speed data network. New areas in six states, including Virginia and Washington, have had LTE access turned on today, while six markets in five states will have a wider coverage area.

 LTE is active in Dover, DE; Salem, OR; Asheville and Goldsboro, NC; Ocean City and Leonardtown, MD; Culpeper and Roanoke, VA; Longview, Shelton, and Port Townsend/North Whidbey Island/Camano Island, WA. Coverage has been expanded in Casa Grande, AZ; Albany, NY; Calvert County, MD; Linglestown, PA; and Stafford and Spotsylvania county, VA.

 The new expansion means that AT&T's 4G LTE service is active in 239 markets, covering more than 292 million people. While AT&T plans to cover 300 million people by the end of next year, customers in non-LTE areas or those that do not own LTE devices will still be able to connect to the carrier's HSPA+ network, which it claims covers almost 100 percent of the entire AT&T wireless network. |

Changes between Version 17 and Version 18 of Development/CodeConventions
- Timestamp:
- 03/16/10 07:03:41 (7 years ago)
- Unmodified
- Added
- Removed
- Modified
v17 v18 10 10 == General Rules for all Languages == 11 11 12 === Spacing === 12 13 * Tabs are 8 spaces. The reason being that when you `cat` a text file to a unix console they come out as 8 spaces. No further discussion will be entered into on this point. 13 14 14 15 * We prefer literal tabs at the start of lines instead of hard spaces. 15 16 17 18 === Comments === 16 19 * Each top-level definition should have a comment explaining what it is for. One liners are fine. 17 20 18 21 * Running comments in the bodies of functions are encouraged. Write down what you were expecting the code to do when you wrote it, so it reads like a story. Aim for 1 comment line every 5-10 code lines, depending on how complex the code is. This level of commenting would be overkill for a cookie-cutter program like a database GUI, but compilers are a completely different beast. For `n` lines of code there are potentially `n^2` bugs (at least), so we want to know exactly what each line is trying to achieve. 19 22 23 * All top-level bindings should have a type signature. Exceptions can be made for functions that are continuations of others, as they will never need to be called from outside the module they are defined in. 24 25 === Layout === 20 26 * If a function does several things in a regular way, then it should look like that in the source code. This means you should line up arguments to similar function calls. For example, use this: 21 27 {{{ … … 32 38 }}} 33 39 34 * All top-level bindings should have a type signature. Exceptions can be made for functions that are continuations of others, as they will never need to be called from outside the module they are defined in.35 40 41 42 === Naming === 36 43 * Name conversion functions like ` globOfTops :: [Top] -> Glob ` instead of ` topsToGlob :: [Top] -> Glob`. The type may be the opposite way around compared to the name, but it makes the source code easier to read. Consider ` (globOfTops someTops) ` vs ` (topsToGlob someTops)`. 37 44 38 45 * If part of a variable name reflects its type, then put that part out the front. For example, source code variables of type `Shared.Var` should be named something like `vThing`, with a `v` out the front. Sets or lists of variables should be named `vsThing` with `vs` out the front. Avoid using names like `thingVar` and `thingVars`. 46 47 === Structure === 48 * Keep the sizes of the modules small. If a module has more than about 400 lines then consider breaking it up. Modules with just 100 lines are fine. Using small modules makes them easier to digest, forces you to think about the overall structure of the code, and helps parallel builds. 49 39 50 40 51 [[br]]

2013 Bold Prediction: Bill Baer
Throughout the week, the Crashburn staff will be unveiling their bold predictions for the 2013 season.
Chase Utley will log at least 600 plate appearances during the 2013 season and finish with at least 5 WAR.
Utley's PA totals from 2008-12: 707, 687, 511, 454, 362. A clear trend. Utley had thumb surgery in 2010, suffered from patellar chondromalacia in his right knee in 2011, and suffered from patellar tendinitis in his left knee last year. Just a few weeks ago, Utley appeared in a spring training game for the first time since 2010. In a sense, the second baseman hit "resume" on a career paused by an unfortunate rash of injuries.
Even a hobbled Utley was still among the best at his position. Going by FanGraphs WAR, only five second basemen (min. 1,000 PA) were more valuable than Utley (12.6) from 2010-12. Baseball Reference (12.3) paints a similar picture, ranking him fourth. Though Utley is now 34 years old, he is by all accounts healthy once again and running on all cylinders. So far this spring, he has exactly as many walks as strikeouts (nine). Last year, he was one of ten players (min. 300 PA) with at least as many walks as strikeouts:
Player | PA | BB | SO | Year | Age | Tm |
Jose Reyes | 716 | 63 | 56 | 2012 | 29 | MIA |
Prince Fielder | 690 | 85 | 84 | 2012 | 28 | DET |
Joe Mauer | 641 | 90 | 88 | 2012 | 29 | MIN |
Carlos Lee | 615 | 58 | 49 | 2012 | 36 | TOT |
Joey Votto | 475 | 94 | 85 | 2012 | 28 | CIN |
Chipper Jones | 448 | 57 | 51 | 2012 | 40 | ATL |
David Ortiz | 383 | 56 | 51 | 2012 | 36 | BOS |
Ryan Hanigan | 371 | 44 | 37 | 2012 | 31 | CIN |
Chase Utley | 362 | 43 | 43 | 2012 | 33 | PHI |
John Jaso | 361 | 56 | 51 | 2012 | 28 | SEA |
And even while hobbled, Utley has been a positive contributor on the bases. According to Baseball Prospectus, he was the Phillies' third-best runner in 2010 (+2.0 runs), fifth-best in 2011 (+0.9), and second-best last year (+2.9). FanGraphs agrees, putting him at fourth, second, and third (+3.6, +4.6, +4.3) from 2010-12, respectively.
Though Utley's range at second base has been limited, he has still been an above-average contributor defensively. His defensive contributions have never centered around his athletic ability; rather, it has come from his intellect and the Phillies' positioning of him on the field. John Dewan explained this in detail back in 2009:
What are these charts showing us? Against right-handed batters, Utley and Phillips look about the same. They both have minus plus/minus scores to their left. But their positive scores to their right more than make up for the difference. Both players appear to be shifting well over to the right when a right-handed batter is up. They have a harder time getting to the balls to their left, but there are fewer of those. They more than make up for the missed plays by making more plays on the greater number of balls to their right.
Now for the Left-Handed Batters side of the chart. It's the whole key to Chase Utley. What appears to be clear from this chart is that both players are shifting left against left-handed batters, but Utley is going further. Phillips is missing plays to his right, but gets a few extra to his left. Utley is missing even more plays to his right, but is really making up for them on plays to his left. To the tune of +37, 30 more extra plays than even Brandon Phillips is making. That's huge.
So what makes Utley so good? Simple answer: Positioning. And more specifically, positioning against left-handed batters.
There's also the fact that manager Charlie Manuel may not be able to help himself use Utley as much as possible. In past years, the Phillies said they'd take it slow with Utley (and Ryan Howard, for that matter) and it never happened. It's easy to imagine a world in which a healthier Utley is leaned upon for 140 or more games.
I've long believed that as long as Utley is physically capable of taking the field every day, he can continue to be a significantly productive player simply based on his non-physical abilities: his great plate discipline, his great decision-making on the bases, and his great defensive positioning. If the reports are truthful, Utley is his healthiest since 2009, which bodes well for the upcoming season.

Love your library? Shout about it.
I'm really upset by the recent proposed budget cuts in New Jersey that will reduce or remove internet access, databases, programming, and many more useful services from New Jersey Libraries. I'm upset that the new Administration finds certain things far more important than these services which have helped me to raise my children, become part of a community, and support my recent MA in Organizational Leadership. I'm upset that many of my friends in LibLand will lose their jobs, go without professional development, and have to divide already thin resources. With this development, I have revolution and revolt on the mind, and in our country, we have the right to speak out on that which we disagree with. My symbol for this is a bullhorn, a tool for rallying cries, to gather and direct people towards change, and to broadcast ideas and reminders about why we should be outraged.
In Inkscape, I built the bullhorn mostly via the Bezier tool. I added flames with the Bezier tool. I added a handle with the Bezier tool. I created the central horn with the Bezier tool. I created the trigger with the pencil tool. The piece of text is from the Showtime series The Wire, in which one of the main characters says "Heard?" in such a way as for it to be almost a half syllable, and it means essentially "Do you understand and comply; if not, we are going to have trouble." Anyway, a fun sketch about a very serious topic for me. If you love your library, tell someone — shout it out.
Post by John LeMasney
Save NJ Libraries: reverse the cuts
My reasoning behind this design was to underline how important libraries are in New Jersey for people who otherwise don't get the opportunity to sit and listen to, or better yet interact with, a brilliant speaker, enjoy an amazing array of books, magazines, newspapers, and journals, do scholarly research in a vast set of rich databases, enjoy entertaining, informative, and beautiful audio/visual media, and maybe even just get a chance to hop on the internet. For the rest of us though, it means a cornerstone of society, community and culture being quickly and deliberately dissolved.
Please tell everyone that you know to tell everyone that they know that the cuts to libraries are a devastating blow to social progress and societal stability in New Jersey.

Bad news about footballers travels fast and good news takes just a little longer to make it to the top of the agenda. We were sent a link to a Serbian newspaper by Montenegran football fan Uros Popovic and it details a nice story about Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic and the way he continues to keep an eye out for the father of an old team mate.
Vladimir Dimitrijevic was with Vidic at Red Star Belgrade and the two became best friends, but Vladimir died after suffering a heart attack on the training pitch at the age of just 20. Vidic told The Daily Mail a few years ago 'It will stay with me forever. We were inseparable. We shared the same dreams and wanted to be successful together. We both came from Uzice and we both moved to Red Star.
'He would have been very proud of what I have achieved since, and I would have been just as proud of him if he had achieved the same. And he would have done. Vladimir was so talented. He would have been a great player. But now he is gone and I want to preserve his memory for ever.'
Nemanja Vidic said he wouldn't forget his old friend and certainly hasn't. Serbian newspaper Hoboctn ran a story this week detailing how the big defender has helped out Vladimir Dimitrijevic's father who had been experiencing financial problems.
Vidic told him to open a bank account and when Dimitrijevic checked how much was in it, he saw €126,000 and contacted the Manchester United to thank him and was advised to spend it on an apartment and told that if he had money worries in the future to get back in touch.
A nice heart warming story amidst the usual news of cars being smashed up and nightclubs being emptied of ridiculously expensive champagne.

Nils Andriessen
I am living in the Netherlands. Married with Shuang. I have one very pretty daughter Maïsha. I like to capture .. a moment, sounds or photos. Capture a moment the way I see or hear it. At the moment my focus is on music for film/television and photography.
With twelve years I received my first mirror-reflex camera, a Russian Zenith-B. I learned so much making pictures with it. No TTL metering.

As a full time, UK based, travel journalist, I travel almost constantly around the whole of the UK, searching out restaurants, hotels and "must see" places. Visitors for both business and pleasure are welcome to ask questions. I almost always travel by public transport, so questions on rail, air and coach / bus travel are also very welcome. I also regularly write about and use the "Eurostar" rail service between London and Continental Europe - which uses a tunnel under the English Channel - so I am able to help with any questions there, too. | |
I have been traveling almost annually in England or Scotland as a tourist for the last 25 years, so I know quite a bit about train travel, car rental, B&Bs, tourist discounts, standard tourist sites, good places to eat, pubs, prices, and things to do off | |

I should be most interested in questions on Yorkshire. Since I live in Yorkshire, I should not be able to contribute suggestions on accommodation and very few on restaurants. On the other hand I have walked a considerable amount in the Yorkshire Dales and the South Pennines and my job used to see me covering all parts of the county. | |
Having visited London a number of times in the past few years I am familiar with many of the old as well as new attractions to see. As a budget conscious traveler I have recommendations for restaurants as well as hotels which are good value for their money.I am also very knowledgible into websites which give information on hotels, sights etc in London. Feel free to contact me for any London info. | |
