Mom-to-be Kim Kardashian has been the subject of countless rumors when it comes to her pregnancy - including speculation about how much weight she's gained. However, the reality star tells Access Hollywood that her pregnancy weight is not even close to the amount people are saying.
Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson spoke to Kim at the junket for her upcoming movie, "Tyler Perry's Temptation," where she hinted at just how much her headline-making body has gained.
"It's tough when you see people make all these assumptions. Like, you know, 'She's gained 75 pounds,'" Kim, who is having a baby with rapper Kanye West, told Shaun.

"And I'm like, 'I haven't even gained half of that yet!'" the 32-year-old said.
The reality star, who has endured her fair share of negative press over the years, said she's not fazed by the speculation.

"It doesn't bother me," she said of people's assumptions. "I've grown a thick skin over the years."
In fact, Kim is embracing her new pregnancy curves.
"I love to dress for my new body," she added.

Despite reports that the sex of Kim and Kayne's baby had been revealed, she told Access that they have not told anyone about the baby's gender except for their loved ones.
"Yes, we have found out [the sex]. We've not told anybody, besides our family," she explained.
And will Kim and Kanye continue with the Kardashian "K" name tradition?

"I don't think it's that important. I think it would be cute just because Kanye and I are both Ks," she told Shaun. "So it makes sense for Kanye and I, but our names are all wide varieties... we have tons of different names."
"Tyler Perry's Temptation" hits theaters on March 29.

Arsène Wenger admits that he WAS interested in signing Salomon Kalou during the summer.
The Chelsea striker could line up against Arsenal on Sunday three months after his manager, Luis Felipe Scolari, told reporters that Wenger had enquired about Kalou during the close season.
Wenger was asked about Scolari's comments at his pre-match press conference and admitted that he had shown an interest in the Ivory Coast striker.
"We were interested in him but it didn't go very far," said Wenger. "Would I be interested again in the future? Not necessarily now, no."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Louisiana's Senate Bill 156 (PDF), which would have repealed the state's Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act, was rejected on a 4-2 vote in the Senate Education Committee on March 29, 2016, according to the Associated Press (March 29, 2016).
NCSE is delighted to congratulate Jay Labov on receiving the Distinguished Service to Science Education Award from the National Science Teachers Association.
A new survey of members of the American Meteorological Society finds (PDF) that nearly all respondents think that climate change is happening and that a majority of respondents think that human activity is causing most of the changes in the climate over th
With the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution 140 by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Idaho legislature, the Idaho state science standards adopted in 2015 have been definitively rejected.
A record was broken in a new poll from Gallup, which found that 65% of Americans believe that increases in the earth's temperature over the last century are due more to "the effects of pollution from human activities" than to "natural causes in the environment that are not due to human activities."
At its March 10, 2016, meeting, the Alabama state board of education voted to retain a disclaimer about evolution mandated for the state's textbooks, even though the new Alabama science standards describe evolution as "substantiated with much direct and indirect evidence."
Mixed Messages: How Climate Change is Taught in America's Public Schools, a detailed report of the first nationwide survey of climate change education in the United States, conceived and funded by NCSE and conducted in collaboration with researchers at Pennsylvania State University, is now available (PDF) on-line.
Louisiana's Senate Bill 156 (PDF) would, if enacted, repeal the state's Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act, which was enacted in 1981 and declared to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987.
Both houses of West Virginia's legislature have agreed on a version of House Bill 4014 that would require only the review, not the repeal, of the recently adopted state science standards, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail (March 12, 2016).
House Bill 899 and Senate Bill 1018 both died in committee on March 11, 2016, when the Florida legislature adjourned. Ostensibly aimed at empowering taxpayers to object to the use of specific instructional materials in the public schools, the bills were promoted by groups with a record of objecting to the treatment of evolution and climate change in textbooks, as NCSE previously reported.

We have all watched the style makeover shows like 'How To Look Good Naked', when you see the dramatic and emotional effect that a transformation has on the women who take part.
Determining your correct bra size and buying a bra that both supports and looks amazing can have the same wonderful life changing effect. The discovery of a bra that is as sexy, as it is supportive, should never be underestimated.

We stayed at Hillside Farm overnight for our ten year wedding anniversary. We loved everything about this place! The owners are friendly and chatty, just very down to earth folks that you feel like you have known forever after just talking to them for the first time. We stayed in the Chicken Coop cottage that was quaint, charming, IMMACULATE, and full of cute little touches throughout. I especially fell in love with the re-purposed barn door that used to be on the original chicken coop...and am trying to figure out where to install one of my own in my house! The breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious. You can tell that Ann puts a lot of love in her cooking. Eggs, potatoes, ham, and the to-die-for French Toast kept us full most of the day. We were sad to head back to reality after just one night spent at Hillside and hope to get back very soon. We highly recommend a visit. A+ !!

The whole experience was great. The rooms are beautiful, the bed soooo comfortable, and the food was excelent. Ann and Gary are so nice and accomodateing. Ann went above and beyond to please. Thank you so much for a great get away.

As for Gary & Ann, are an absolute pleasure to spend time with...down to earth, knowledgable, funny, etc...the kind of people you feel like you have known all your life, and the kind of people the world needs more of...salt of the earth. If you are going to visit the Lancaster area, this is the only place to stay. We have already made reservations to go back... Oh yea, I almost forgot, the breakfast is down home country, and out of this world DELICIOUS! Thank you Gary, Ann & Offspring!

This was our first b&b experience and we are now converts. Ann and Gary are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts were delicious. The rooms were big, comfortable, and spotless. We had the Davis suite which was two separate bedrooms; it was very comfortable for our family of 4. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book a room when we return to the area. We can't say enough good things about Hillside Farm. Thank you Gary and Ann!

'How can a team that looked so good in the regular season look so bad in the playoffs?'
Archives for May 2007
There's always next year for Sabres
Sabres have hard choices to make on Drury, Briere
'The players know there will be changes. Because of the salary cap, that's the nature of the NHL today. "But hopefully a miracle can be done," defenseman Brian Campbell said.'
Zubrus weighs injury, return
'The bigger issue is whether Zubrus will return to the Sabres next season. Obtained in a deadline-day trade from the Washington Capitals, he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1. "Right now I'm a Sabre, and honestly I enjoy it here," he said.'
A few Sabres will be shuffling out of Buffalo
'Also, as these playoffs so clearly demonstrated, the Sabres need more toughness. They require a smacker on the blueline and a power forward who uses his size effectively and regularly, not just at intervals as so many of the bigger Buffalo wingers did during the playoffs. Mike Grier and JP Dumont were noticeable in their absences this spring, and so was Jay McKee.'
Sabres may face tough choice
'One way Regier could retain Drury and Briere would be via salary-dumping trades, a possibility that shouldn't be ruled out. Potential trade bait could be forward Ales Kotalik and defenseman Dmitri Kalinin; both had sub-par seasons and their respective performances didn't improve during the 2007 playoffs. Kotalik earns $2.33 million per season, Kalinin $2 million, and cutting their salaries would free up over $4 million which could be put toward re-signing Drury and Briere. Promising forward Drew Stafford and defenseman Nathan Paetsch could be affordable replacements for Kotalik and Kalinin.'
Sabres Clean Out Lockers; Look Ahead To Offseason
'Both players spoke about their situations with the media today and said they'd like to remain in Buffalo. Drury said he hasn't talked to his agent about his plans for the offseason yet, but added that he'd love to remain a Sabre and that the team can get better heading into next season. "It's been a great three years for me and my family, we've won a lot of hockey games and I think we can be even better next year," Drury said.'
Sabres Future Cup Chances Aren't Over
'The top priority, without question in my mind, is to make sure gm Darcy Regier and head coach Lindy Ruff are retained. Both are at the end of contracts, but presumably they're happy here and will be taken care of.'
'Forget effort as a reason the Sabres lost. It was the special teams, stupid. Fix them, and the Sabres just might win the rubber match between the teams a year from now. Or the Senators might. The teams are that close.'
Harry Neale: Sign Regier, Ruff First
'"Long before they worry about Briere and Drury, they should sign those two guys. Don't let those guys go on the free market because there are always a half a dozen teams looking to add in one of those two areas," says Neale. "Hopefully for the sake of the Buffalo Sabres they can sign those two guys, but one of those crazy offers could land on one of their laps."'
Briere open to staying with Sabres
'"My first, my probably biggest wish right now would be to be a part of this team," Briere said. "The Sabres, if they're interested, they're going to have the first chance. They're going to have the best chance. And if that doesn't work out, then we'll start looking at different options."'
Sabres Zubrus was bothered by knee injury
'Zubrus isn't sure if he'll require surgery to repair damaged cartilage. He had an arthroscopic procedure on the same knee in the summer of 2005.'
A Distraction: The 2007 NHL All-UFA Team
'This list takes into account both age and value. In the cathartic interest of sanity, here's my 2007 NHL All-Unrestricted team (players who at press time are slated to become unrestricted free agents on July 1)…'
Now, Sabres are the ones facing tough offseason questions
'Drury seems to give the Sabres more of what they ultimately were lacking this postseason — grit, determination, the ability to produce in the clutch. Just look at Game 5. He took a puck to the face in the third period and then returned in overtime after being stitched up. There just weren't enough like him, although the Sabres' future could still be exceptionally bright.'
Another cruel loss ends Sabres' season
'"I don't think we lost the series tonight," Sabres forward Jason Pominville said. "I think we may have lost it in the first couple games where we weren't playing the way we were in the last couple." Indeed, the Sabres played poorly through the first three games. How poorly is a matter of debate. But it's clear Buffalo didn't give the effort it takes to win a championship early in the series. With Saturday's loss, they dropped all three home games. That's why it really ended when Monday's wretched performance spoiled Miller's world-class goaltending.'
A painful ending for the Sabres
'"There's a lot of disappointment right now, maybe we weren't quite as good as we needed to be."'

WSJ Ignores Important Distinction Between Romney Father And Son
Blog ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
The Wall Street Journal published an article comparing Mitt Romney to his father George Romney, who ran for president in 1968, but ignored an important distinction between the two: George Romney released 12 years of tax returns, while Mitt Romney still refuses to release more than the most recent two years.
In its article this morning, the Journal contrasted George Romney's 1968 campaign with Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, calling George "a guiding force in Mitt Romney's campaign" and "the ghost in Mitt Romney's machine." While the article laid out several areas in which Mitt Romney's campaign differed from his father's, it ignored one of the most glaring differences.
In 1968, George Romney released tax returns for the previous 12 years, saying at the time "One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show." Mitt Romney, however, has consistently refused to release anything but the most recent returns. On September 21, Romney released his tax information for 2011, making his total disclosure only two years.
In lieu of releasing his returns, Romney released a summary of the past 20 years' worth of his taxes, along with a note alleging that his average tax rate for that period was 20.2%. But the "average" rate that Romney released was a simple average, which the Tax Policy Center's senior fellow Roberton Williams describes as misleading. In the Washington Post, Williams pointed out that the number released by Romney "can distort the rate you've paid relative to your income":
"Let's say you have 10 years in which you paid 13 percent in taxes, and 10 years in which you paid 27 percent," Williams told me. "If you average those rates, you'll get an overall rate of 20 percent. But if the 13 percent years were high income years, and the 27 percent years were low income years, then his total taxes paid as a share of total income over the 20 years would be less, perhaps significantly less, than 20 percent.
"You can be a person like Romney and have a highly fluctuating income year to year," Williams said. "Some years Romney's income could be much lower than in other years. When you average just the rates, you can distort the rate you've paid relative to your income over the whole period."

Arsenal face Reading in the Capital One Cup fourth round at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday evening.
With Stats Zone, you can brush up on the facts and figures behind every Gunners match this season, brought to you by Opta and the Official Matchday Programme.
Figure One - Giroud v West Ham Figure Two - Giroud v QPR
Olivier Giroud has been included in Arsène Wenger's 18-man squad for tonight's trip to the Madejski Stadium, and is set to be handed another chance to lead the line. The 26-year-old opened his Arsenal account against Coventry in the third round, and will be looking to add to his tally tonight against the Royals.
The France international has proved an effective focal point in the Gunners attack and used his physicality and direct style to unsettle the West Ham defence earlier this month. Giroud played very centrally (Figure One) and helped push back the Hammers defence, opening up space for Santi Cazorla to roam into and dictate play. Giroud made a series of driving runs into the West Ham box, and eventually scored from one of these as he latched on to Lukas Podolski's cross.
Against QPR on Saturday, he again played very centrally but with the opposition defence sitting deep to prevent Arsenal getting in behind them, he was forced to come deep for the ball. As Figure Two shows, the forward dropped into the area just in front of midfield to link up play and was unable to drive into the box as often as he did at Upton Park.
But against a Reading defence playing in front of their home fans - and unlikely to sit as deep as QPR - Giroud is likely to find more space in front of him, and will attempt to bully his opposing centre backs. It will be another fresh test for the Frenchman, but one he is likely to relish.
PLAYER COMPARISON - WALCOTT v ROBSON-KANU
Both Theo Walcott and Hal Robson-Kanu have primarily been used off the bench for their respective clubs this season (making substitute appearances six and five times in the league respectively), and have certainly made a big impression. On Saturday, Walcott's introduction helped turn the tide in Arsenal's favour in the wake of QPR defender Stephane Mbia's red card, while his Reading counterpart scored the last-gasp goal that rescued a point against Fulham.
Both are expected to start at the Madejski Stadium, and Walcott will be hoping to pick up from where he left off in the last round against Coventry, against whom he scored twice. Walcott has made 28 more passes than Robson-Kanu this season, but that does not prevent him from boasting a superior pass success rate (83.1 per cent to 67.7 per cent).
The players are statistically evenly matched, with both having won 12 duels so far this season, both having scored two league goals and both seeing 40 per cent of their shots land on target. Walcott has created one assist to his counterpart's 0, although Robson-Kanu has achieved more successful crosses than the Arsenal forward. Walcott though, has created six chances in the Premier League so far this term, while Robson-Kanu has made two.
With both likely to be cetral to their respective team's performance tonight, it will be a fascinating contest between these two speed merchants at the Madejski Stadium.
READING v ARSENAL - FACTS
- Reading and Arsenal have met twice before in the League Cup, with the Gunners winning both games
- Arsenal have won all nine matches in all competitions played against Reading
- Andrey Arshavin has scored three goals and assisted six more in just seven appearances in the League Cup
- Theo Walcott has scored five goals in his last six League Cup starts
- Pavel Pogrebnyak has scored in both of his League Cup appearances
- Arsenal have made the quarter final of the League Cup in each of the last nine seasons, the longest consecutive run of any team in the history of the competition
- Reading have not failed to score in any of their last 14 League Cup matches - scoring 35 goals in that time
- Victory over QPR last time out ended a run of nine League Cup games without a win against top-flight teams (L5 D4) for the Royals

Philadelphia row house collapses, gas investigated
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia row house has collapsed and officials are investigating whether a gas leak is to blame.
The collapse happened late Monday morning in the middle of a block of connected brick homes. The houses on either side of the destroyed home are still standing but it's unclear how badly they're damaged.
Police say witnesses report hearing an explosion before the collapse.
The area is being evacuated and emergency crews are on the scene. There's no immediate word of injuries.

Fox News Attacks Obama's Defense Of Susan Rice
Research ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News figures attacked President Obama's defense of Ambassador Susan Rice during a press conference, claiming his statement that critics of Rice "should go after me" was "absurd and chauvinistic." Fox has a history of attacking Obama and Rice, most recently by invoking Libya smears in order to derail Rice's potential nomination as secretary of state.
Conservative Media Figures Attack Obama's Defense Of Rice As "Paternalistic," "Chauvinistic," "Sexist"
Fox's Kirsten Powers: Obama's Defense Of Rice Was "Absurd And Chauvinistic." In a FoxNews.com op-ed, Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers called the president's remarks about Rice "absurd and chauvinistic ... as if she needs the big strong man to come to her defense":
Wednesday, President Obama bizarrely cast the U.N. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, as some delicate flower the boys should stop picking on for her dissembling claims on five Sunday talk shows following the killing of 4 Americans in Benghazi. But, there is no damsel in distress and Obama's paternalistic bravado in defense of a top administration official is going to come back to haunt him.
Imagine George Bush saying that people criticized John Bolton because he was an "easy target." He wouldn't.
It's absurd and chauvinistic for Obama to talk about the woman he thinks should be Secretary of State of the United States as if she needs the big strong man to come to her defense because a couple of Senators are criticizing her. [FoxNews.com, 11/15/12]
Fox Regulars Lane, Krauthammer: Obama "Defending The Mistress In Distress" Is "Political Theater." On the November 14 edition of Fox News' Special Report, Washington Post editorial writer Charles Lane commented that "I thought it was a little bit of political theater there, the chivalrous president standing up for the woman being attacked by these male senators." Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer agreed, saying that Obama "does play this sort of Lancelot defending the mistress in distress." [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 11/14/12]
Fox's Cavuto: Obama Defended Rice With "Clearly Sexist Tone." Fox News host Neil Cavuto described Obama's defense of Rice as "faux rage" with a "clearly sexist tone." [Fox News, Your World with Neil Cavuto, 11/15/12]
Powers: Obama's Defense Of Rice "Was Very Paternalistic." Appearing on Fox News' America Live, Kristen Powers said Obama's defense of Rice was "very paternalistic:
POWERS: He sort of portrayed it as, like, these two men beating up on a woman, left out Senator Ayotte, that she's part of this, and sort of made it seem like she was coming to her defense. It was very paternalistic, I thought, you know, that 'how dare they go after her.' She's the U.N. ambassador. She's more than capable of handling this. [Fox News, America Live, 11/14/12]
Fox's Lou Dobbs: "Obama Now Protective Of Amb. Rice" But Following The Benghazi Attack "Hid Behind Her Skirts [sic]." Fox Business host Lou Dobbs claimed "Obama now protective of Amb. Rice" but retorted that during the two months following the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, "hid behind her skirts " :
[Twitter, 11/14/12]
In Fact, Obama Only Defended Rice From Attacks On A Nomination He Had Not Yet Made
Question To Obama Framed Around Possible Nomination Of Rice As Secretary Of State. During a November 14 presidential press conference, Obama responded to a question about Rice's possible nomination as secretary of state by pointing out that "she has done exemplary work" and after the Benghazi attack "made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her":
JONATHAN KARL (ABC News senior political correspondent): Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham both said today that they want to have Watergate-style hearings on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and said that if you nominate Susan Rice to be secretary of state, they will do everything in their power to block her nomination. As Senator Graham said, he simply doesn't trust Ambassador Rice after what she said about Benghazi. I'd like your reaction to that. And would those threats deter you from making a nomination like that?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, I'm not going to comment at this point on various nominations that I'll put forward to fill out my Cabinet for the second term. Those are things that are still being discussed.
But let me say specifically about Susan Rice, she has done exemplary work. She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace. As I've said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her. If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous.
And you know, we're after an election now. I think it is important for us to find out exactly what happened in Benghazi, and I'm happy to cooperate in any ways that Congress wants. We have provided every bit of information that we have, and we will continue to provide information. And we've got a full-blown investigation, and all that information will be disgorged to Congress.
And I don't think there's any debate in this country that when you have four Americans killed, that's a problem. And we've got to get to the bottom of it, and there needs to be accountability. We've got to bring those who carried it out to justice. They won't get any debate from me on that.
But when they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she's an easy target, then they've got a problem with me. And should I choose -- if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity -- the State Department, then I will nominate her. That's not a determination that I've made yet.

Fox News Is Leading The Attack Against Susan Rice
Fox Tried To Prevent Susan Rice Nomination With Libya Smears. Fox News tried to disqualify Rice from being nominated as the next secretary of state by alleging that she made inaccurate statements about the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. But during her Sunday show appearances, Rice was accurately conveyed the consensus of the intelligence community at the time, and there is evidence that the anti-Islam video she referenced did, in fact, play a role in motivating the attack. [Media Matters, 11/14/12]
Fox Casted Old Libya Information As New To Continue Politicizing Story, Attacking Rice. Fox News has seized on what it believes is a new angle to continue making an issue of the Obama administration's response to the Libya terrorist attack: that Obama's statement that the White House chose Rice to discuss the attack publicly as new and "significant." In fact, that had been known for a month prior to Obama's statement. [Media Matters, 11/14/12]
Fox News Sunday Went Fuzzy On Rice's Libya Statements. On the September 30 edition of Fox News Sunday, two panelists suggested that Rice, the did not properly emphasize the fact that there is an ongoing investigation into the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, in the interview that they were referring to, and throughout her appearances on the Sunday talk shows, Rice repeatedly noted that the investigation was ongoing and that its results would ultimately reveal what happened. [Fox Broadcasting Co., Fox News Sunday, 9/30/12, via Media Matters]
Fox News Reimagined Rice's Remarks On Libya Attack. Fox News commentators reimagined Rice's statements about the consulate attack in Benghazi, saying Rice was "so definitive" in Sunday show interviews about what had happened there. In fact, Rice repeatedly made clear during her interviews that definitive conclusions would only follow from an administration investigation, which she stressed was under way.

Ocean heat content: latest numbers
Net ocean heat content changes are very closely tied to the net radiative imbalance of the planet since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the biggest heat capacity. Thus we have often made the point that diagnosing this imbalance through measurements of temperature in the ocean is a key metric in evaluating the response of the system to changes in CO2 and the other radiative forcings (see here).
In a paper I co-authored last year (Hansen et al, 2005), we compared model results with the trends over the 1993 to 2003 period and showed that they matched quite well (here). Given their importance in evaluating climate models, new reports on the ocean heat content numbers are anticipated quite closely.
Recently, a new preprint with the latest observations (2003 to 2005) has appeared (Lyman et al, hat tip to Climate Science) which shows a decrease in the ocean heat content over those two years, decreasing the magnitude of the long-term trend that had been shown from 1993 to 2003 in previous work (Willis et al, 2004) – from 0.6 W/m2 to about 0.33 W/m2. This has generated a lot of commentary in some circles, but in many cases the full context has not been appreciated.
With any new data sets there are a number of questions that must always be asked: Are the measurements really representing what is claimed? (in particular, are there sampling or definitional problems?). Do related data provide some support for the results? If correct, what are the potential causes? and, most importantly, what part of the changes are related to predictable deterministic effects? This last question brings up the issue of model evaluation, because of course, the models can only be expected to reproduce the deterministic long-term component.
Given some of the ongoing discussion, it obviously still needs to be pointed out that year-to-year fluctuations in any of the key metrics of planet's climate are mostly a function of the weather and cannot be expected to be captured in climate models, whose 'weather' is uncorrelated with that in the real world. So claims that two years worth of extra data of any quantity somehow prove or disprove climate models are simply erroneous. Clearly, life would be simpler without weather 'noise' cluttering up the system, but this is something that just needs to be dealt with. Dealing with it means paying more attention to long term changes than to short term fluctuations and making sure that enough ensemble simulations are made with the models to isolate the signal from the noise.
Going back to the data, are there any potential problems? Well, as addressed by the authors, this time frame is the period when the ARGO floating profilers really start to be important in improving the coverage of data (look at the difference in coverage in their figure 8 between 2002 and 2005). The profilers have clearly been the best thing to happen to ocean observations in decades. Not using the profilers gives a smaller recent change – but with increased error bars because of the deterioration of the sampling. Additionally, some parts of the ocean, particularly the Arctic are still not being sampled sufficiently. These effects may yet prove to be part of the story.
What about any supporting data? One problem is that if the ocean has lost heat at the suggested rate, then the thermal exapansion part of recent sea level rise should have decreased (i.e. sea level should have dropped). Overall, sea level however has continued to rise unabated according to the altimeter satellites. The only way to reconcile the results would be to have had a sharp compensating increase in freshwater from the ice sheets adding to sea level (from 0.7 mm/yr to 2.9 mm/yr). This is conceivable (though unlikely), but clearly would not be good news!

CNN's Loesch Dissembles In Order To Attack Obama For Pointing Out Booing At Gay Soldier
Blog ››› ››› MARCUS FELDMAN
Tea party darling and CNN contributor Dana Loesch has decided to engage in some audacious revisionism in order to defend conservatives from criticism over the booing of a gay soldier at a Republican presidential debate.
Loesch's re-imagining concerned the Fox News-Google debate during which a question given by Stephen Hill, a gay soldier serving in Iraq, elicited audible booing from the audience. Media figures and even some Republican presidential candidates have condemned the booing.
At a fundraiser yesterday, President Obama also condemned the booing while criticizing aspects of the modern-day Republican Party:
Some of you here may be folks who actually used to be Republicans but are puzzled by what's happened to that party, are puzzled by what's happening to that party. I mean, has anybody been watching the debates lately? You've got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change, it's true. You've got audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don't have health care and booing a service member in Iraq because they're gay.
Loesch responded on Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism, claiming that President Obama had deliberately lied about the booing.
As evidence that Obama was lying, Loesch linked to a previous blog post she had written, claiming that she had "thoroughly debunked" the booing story.
But her previous blog actually confirms the fact that the soldier was booed at the debate.
In her blog post, Loesch had quoted conservative activist Sara Rumpf who was in the audience for the debate in question, and "[t]here was audible booing after [Hill's] question...however, please note that it was not the crowd booing It was only one or two people."
So, Loesch's source confirms that "there was audible booing" from the audience at the gay soldier. That's indisputable. And Obama's claim that the audience was "booing a service member" is obviously true.
Loesch did say at one point in her first blog post that "you don't boo a soldier in the battlefield, period." But otherwise, the posts were squarely aimed at defending the audience and attacking Obama.
So the real question is why Loesch has spent so much energy trying to prove the unprovable, that the audience at the Republican debate supported the gay soldier, and so little time condemning what is indisputable, that some members of the audience did boo the gay soldier.

Nancy Scott McCabe (formerly known as Agor), 71, died on May 26, 2010, at her home in Granbury, TX. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Mrs. McCabe was born in Attleboro, MA, on July 6, 1938, a daughter of the late Edward and Katherine Scott. She graduated from Attleboro High School in 1956, and from Wells College in 1960. She married John Agor in 1961, with whom she had three children, Lt. Col. John Scott Agor, of Granbury, TX; Gregory Agor, of Nanjemoy Creek, MD; and Andrew Agor, of Katonah, all of whom survive her. She and Mr. Agor divorced in 1980.
In 1984, she married Daniel L. Mc- Cabe, who died in 2007. Mrs. McCabe is also survived by her sister, Elinor Scott Abbe, of Meriden, CT, and 6 grandchildren.
Mrs. McCabe was engaged in a variety of pursuits during her life, most notably as a real estate agent in the Danbury region, and in the print media and advertising business in Westchester County. She was an avid gardener and a voracious reader. She was a former president and active member of the Lake Mahopac Garden Club, and also served as President of the board of the Mahopac Public Library.
She was enchanted by the Caribbean, and maintained a home on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts for many years, where she has requested that her ashes be scattered. She will be missed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Wells College, and sent to Advancement Office, 170 Main Street, Aurora, NY 13026. Arrangements were handled by the Wiley Funeral Home of Granbury, TX.

Brothers and sisters, Iâve been a member here for a while now but have not really posted much as I have never had much constructive to add and so didnât want to end up pad posting. Iâm still in the early days of building my Fett and I know itâs a long process. As I read through the boards I find that there is a great quest for original parts and super accuracy. One of the parts in great demand is the ASI 4x20 scope with correct tall feet. I am sure many here will frequently be on the lookout for these as I am but having little success. Although there are probably far more important parts out there I became somewhat obsessed with this small piece. I turned my attention to attempting to part bash a scope from real vintage parts and thought my progress might be of interest to some struggling scope hunters out there. Apologies if I am duplicating the work of others and this is all rather old hat but I couldnât see a thread in the boards although do wait to be corrected.
Iâve studied quite a lot of photoâs and reference material as well as reading and re reading many old threads posted in the boards to this point and think Iâm very close if not nearly spot on unfortunately I donât have the real thing to directly compare to (in which case I probably wouldnât have done this) so I can never be quite certain.
The scope I have created has the exact dimensions of the ASI scope pictured in this thread by Sidewinder:
In order to create this scope I used parts from four different vintage scopes (although it could actually have been accomplished with three). Excuse my photography skills.
The scope came from:
Nikko Stirling Mountie 4x20 â 1
Nikko Stirling Mountie 4x20 â 2
Apart from the obvious difference of the branding the scopes themselves are also different in a couple of subtle ways. More on that in a moment.
BSA 4x20 Scope (1950s)
and a Webley and Scott 4x15. Sorry no picture available as it would involve taking my Frankenscope apart in order to rebuild it.
Here is a picture of a Webley 4 x 15 almost identical to the one I used to build the Frankenscope. The only difference that I can see being the screw heads on the windage blocks; they are better than the ones I used on my original Frankenscope, they are rounder and more domed. The ones on the windage block from my first Webley 4 x 15 were much flatter (see below).
*************************************************E nd Edit********************************************** *****
I donât necessarily know which of the Nikko Stirling Mounties is older so I refer to them as â1â and â2â respectively as that is the order in which they were purchased.
So, the main tube body of the scope is from Nikko Stirling 1. The tube on Nikko Stirling 2 is not identical. The Nikko 2 tube is longer by roughly ¼ inch. Enough of a difference to be noticeable to the naked eye when constructed. This is not due just to the difference in overall length of the scope but because it puts out the position of the windage blocks a fraction which makes the overall dimension changes more noticeable. When I tried using the Nikko 2 I could not match the dimensions posted in the picture by Sidewinder.
The Labelled eyepiece with the brand name (the one that points to the front on the ESB blaster) is from the Webley 4x15.
Ditto with the knurled ring, the 4x15 from Webley.
The Windage block and elevation caps are from the Webley 4x15 also.
The unbranded eyepiece is from the Nikko Stirling Mountie â 2.
I had previously used the eyepiece from Nikko 1 but itâs dimensions did not quite please me. It appears fractionally shorter overall but more noticeable is the point at which the eyepiece tapers; the definition is sharper on the Nikko 1. The Nikko 2 has a much softer taper and this appeared closer to me.
Nikko 1 Eyepiece (rejected).
Comparison of Nikko Eyepieces. Nikko 2 is the preferred one at the top.
Scope mounts with correct hero rings and tall feet were from the BSA 4x20 from the 50âs. Here's a close up of the branding:
Here is the completed scope:
One area where I'm still not quite happy is the screws on the windage block; to me they appear slightly too flat and should have more of a dome shape to them, to be more rounded. I do have set that have the right shape on the screw head but to do not fit the screw holes. I had considered starting to chop bits up and securing them in place but reconsidered as i felt it defeated the point of the whole exercise. Overall I'm very happy with the results. The final used pieces were not the only scopes I looked at and compared just the pieces I chose finally. To simplify things I believe that you can get most of the way there with:
One Nikko Stirling Mountie 4x20 (either)
One Webley and Scott 4x15.
This would get most of the components but might well leave you with a couple of deficiencies, the most notable of which would likely be that you would end up with the correct hero rings but the short mounting feet the others being sacrificing either overall dimensional satisfaction or the unbranded eyepiece dimensions.
Hope that was helpful to someone out there.
Live the dream.

Streamline your holiday style
This is not a story about a poorly decorated home in need of a makeover and a splash of holiday cheer. Owners Nadia Bizzotto and David Youngson are themselves in the design business (she founded the handbag company Two Loops; he's a sales agent for the likes of Kikkerland), and their two-year-old house in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley is cleanly modern—even their four whippets and two cats hew to the prevailing earth-tones palette.
But when their friend Paige Russell, a ceramist, asked to help deck their place for the season, they were thrilled. "We love Paige's homemade sensibility," Nadia says. "She shows us how warmth can still be modern," adds David. Just call Paige their holiday fairy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Wow, thanks snowolf. i know you probably get asked that a gajillion times a season but it was so concise and clear, your tips really helped me yesterday on the hill. I really got a good feel for the torsional steering aspect of it, as well as just the whole looking where you want to go which is surprsingly a gigantic help. also got a good feel for my loose athletic stance, and what it feels like to actually be riding correctly as opposed to sideslipping all over the place.
it was a pretty good day, even despite a crack/warp in my tail end.
|seems like my biggest problem is trying to get the edge to engage. I press my front toe down and its like nothing really happens? is this because i am leaning back too much?
Ideally, to link turns you need to be transitioning from edge to edge. There *can* be a limited amount of skid involved, but as far as I'm concerned less is more. You want to ensure you are properly engaging your edges and riding through the motion. This can be delayed into long drawn out carves, or shorter skidded carves to bleed off some speed. The slope usually determines my tactics.
To properly link turns you should focus on a few things.
First and foremost, edging. Commit to your carves/scarves and ride through them. If you bleed too much speed off, you're going to struggle more with balance. That's not to say you should be flying down the hill, but if you're on a steep blue and are uncomfortable, it will make the process more difficult.
Find a nice and easy green run and take some long dramatic carves. Try and space yourself out so you can really use the run. Having people around will get in your head if you don't feel comfortable.
Secondly, Line up your body over the board. Make sure your shoulders and hips stay parallel to the board *most* of the time. I only say most because some people prefer to use their shoulders to help initiate turns. Turn your neck/head to be looking straight down your shoulder. By lining everything up, you'll have a more refined center of gravity and bending your knees/lowering your body will only make things better. You don't want to be riding standing straight up. Sometimes adding some forward lean to your bindings can help ensure proper form.
Third, The 3 C's. Cool, Calm, and Collected. Don't get overworked and criticize yourself. Take a deep breath and keep trying. When you get frustrated and tense, it increases the chance you'll lock up at the wrong time. You want to be like a coiled spring. There are times you need to absorb impact, and you can't do that if you panic.
As for your Toeside turns, I do those two steps in the opposite order. As I transition from heel to toe, I start by driving my toes downward to start initiating the edge, then I follow through with my knees and hips. This way I know my board is tracking before I start altering my center of gravity. You'll know when it starts to initiate. Note: I have a noodle of a board, so this method may not be recommended based on what you ride. My EVO is really soft and is easy to torsionally flex into an edge hold.
Best of luck!
What are the main tips on getting to linked turns?!
Im headin to the mountain tomorrow and i havent had a lot of time to ride this season since winter never showed. This will be maybe my 6th time riding and I really want to get my linked turns technique down. What are the biggest things I need to concentrate on when trying to get to linked turns?
Also, when initiating a toeside turn, do you want to drive your front knee down toward the snow as well as doing the hump motion? after this you would put pressure on your front toe edge with your leading foot and then follow with the other once you cross the fall line? Is this about right?

text: MTA urges senators to vote NO on House transportation-only bill The MTA expressed strong disappointment in the House vote on April 8 to approve a transportation-only revenue and spending bill that fails to provide any new resources for education or adequate resources for transportation. The MTA and other members of the Campaign for Our Communities are urging state senators to reject the House plan and push for a more comprehensive bill that raises substantial revenues, is more progressive and allocates significant new funding to early childhood education, K-12 public schools and public higher education. The Senate could take up the bill as soon as April 11. Go here to send a message to your senator. Governor Deval Patrick threatened to veto the House plan on April 4, saying in a prepared statement, "Not only does this proposal short-change the T and every community outside of Boston, it short-changes every parent or business owner who cares about the readiness of our young people for the workplace." Patrick proposed a $1.9 billion revenue increase, with $900 million targeted to education and $1 billion to transportation improvements. Most of the new funds would come from an increase in the income tax rate. The House bill raises $500 million, mainly by increasing gas and tobacco taxes. Those increases fall more heavily on low- and moderate-income taxpayers, while the income tax plan would affect upper-income taxpayers more significantly. "We are going to work with the other 125 members of the Campaign for Our Communities to continue to make the case for raising and allocating the revenues needed to keep our communities healthy, our students well educated and our economy strong," said MTA President Paul Toner. The Campaign for Our Communities is a coalition of labor, human services, civic and religious organizations seeking revenue and spending plans that make Massachusetts "a great place to live, work and raise a family."

"With summer on the way (yes, I'm being optimistic!) this is a wonderful and refreshing drink to have on hand. I followed the recipe the first time. The next time, in place of the lemon juice, I added some lemonade concentrate to taste. What a wonderful change. You might want to reduce the sugar a little if you add concentrate."

"This is very refreshing and has a delicious flavour. Had to use 1c sugar b/c the strawberries weren't quite sweet enough. Made ahead so it would be nice and cold and mixed in the ginger ale just before serving. Poured it into margarita glasses for presentation. This recipe could easily be a substitute for a non-alcoholic strawberry margarita! Will definitely make again."

Are Millennials Fit to Lead?
By Andrew Henck
January 9, 2013
Andrew Henck is a Millennial interested in generations at work together. He's recently graduated from Azusa Pacific University with his M.A. in Leadership and works as the Internship Programme Coordin... Read More
It was 6:00 a.m. when I rolled out of bed. Only 72 hours earlier, I was waking up to life as a college student. On Saturday, as I walked across my alma mater's commencement platform, my thoughts were enamored with the enormity of the future ahead of me, symbolized by the mighty blue Pacific Ocean extending into the horizon. It was now Wednesday morning, and my thoughts were focused on the morning rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles and the uniform I had seen my baby-boomer father put on nearly every day of my childhood life: a freshly starched dress shirt, slacks and, on this occasion, the best tie I could find.
I was a fortunate outlier. Amidst historic times of economic recession plaguing the futures of my fellow college graduates, I had finished college not just with my diploma in hand, but also a job. I was finally joining "the big boy working world."
My job hunt brought me to the management team of a nonprofit agency. My responsibilities required managing staff, coordinating volunteers and developing programs for clients. In other words, in a matter of days, I had transitioned from undergrad student to professional leader. But I soon learned it wasn't quite as simple as that.
The simplest of questions radically challenged my notion of my place in the office when my assistant, a baby boomer, turned to me and asked, "Andrew, how old are you?"
From my undergrad experience, I thought I had a pretty good grasp on what it takes to lead. Whether it was serving on student government or representing my high school classmates on the city school board, I was used to leading people. You agree to serve, run for a position, and more times than not, you have some title to hold. This naiveté oozed from my Millennial self as I drove to work that first day, ready to begin the next chapter as a "director."
The simplest of questions radically challenged my notion of my place in the office when my assistant, a baby boomer, turned to me and asked, "Andrew, how old are you?"
This first job gave me a crash course in the challenges of leading as a Millennial in an intergenerational workplace, and I had to recognize different approaches to learning and living that I hadn't considered before. Without a doubt, the meetings with my baby-boomer assistant, daily conversations with my Gen-X boss and other interactions with clients and colleagues taught me and challenged me more than I could have ever imagined after spending most of the previous four years around people my age.
After nearly a year and a half in the position, I realized there was a lot more to learn in order to contribute my best in developing people and serving organizations. The next step in my Millennial journey, then, took me to graduate school, beginning a M.A. in, of all things, leadership.
Leadership has been a focal point of our cultural consciousness for centuries. We've debated whether or not leaders are born are made. Countless articles and books have been published to help leaders with easy tips and quick solutions for our most common problems. This is especially true in the Church, where leadership is often considered the capstone of spiritual maturity.
"I am also getting in touch with the mystery that leadership, for a large part, means to be led." —Henri Nouwen
Yet with recent movements and revolutions from Wall Street to the Middle East, we have shown that followers are an even more significant element in the leadership equation than had been previously believed. It's the followers who comprise the fuller movements that pave the way for real change.
Additionally, organizational structure is shifting. Different generations of leaders in companies have transitioned from largely organizational cultures of hierarchy and bureaucracy to new atmospheres of collaboration with flatter structures.
In this new reality, the emphasis on authority, position and title has been diminished. By 2020, many expect that we will have an unprecedented five generations at work together. As today's record numbers of Millennials appear on the workplace scene, they have big aspirations and carry the expectation, often, to rise to the top in a position of leadership.
Our culture has long prized leadership, usually praising achievement of position or applauding titles and authority. But with these new developments and changing workplace realities, we have an opportunity to change the way we think about and practice leadership, especially across the growing generational spectrum at work.
Catholic priest and writer Henri Nouwen names this new opportunity well: "I am also getting in touch with the mystery that leadership, for a large part, means to be led." My experiences, and maybe yours as well, have quite poignantly aligned with his countercultural words. Through leading as a Millennial fresh out of college, my eyes have been opened to the great possibilities of learning and living when you realize there is much that you don't know and much to be learned.
By learning how to follow well, we learn how to better lead. Despite entering the workplace with limited experience, Millennials have a unique opportunity to contribute to the organizations where we work and serve. Alongside colleagues from across the generational spectrum, who have already seen great change in the workplace, my fellow Millennials can contribute the most by leading and living with an attitude of perpetual learning. When we recognize and live with this attitude, we continue the journey of never arriving. This is the best kind of leadership we can offer.

Thinking you can lead because of your title is horrible! I am the youngest sales person in my office at 29 and am the sales manager. You must slowly earn trust and respect and be selfless, never showing up but not just giving in to older directs you manage. Grad school on leadership is worthless without everyday application and learning. GREAT article in Relevant on mentoring too, that is huge.
Daryll: I couldn't agree more. The problem I've found exists when the "leadership industry" promotes success as title and position. For too long we've been taught and trained that leadership equals power, disregarding the fact that more times than not those individuals who aren't in "formal" roles often have equal if not more influence. My hope is that our cultural understanding of good leadership starts coming from being led and learning how to follow.
Love the use of Henri Nouwen. As a Millennial entering college, I was given "In the Name of Jesus" and it turned everything I thought about leadership upside-down. YES Millennials are ready to lead, if they're ready to follow well.
The same could be said for any potential leader of any generation.
I huge part of my philosophy on leadership is that an effective leader knows when to follow. This requires the ability to know yourself as a leader and the humility to admit that you are not perfect. My profession is teacher and musician and leading, following and humility go hand-in-hand in my workplace. It is important that we always learn and grow as a leader. I appreciate this reminder.

The commanding general of Ft. Steward told reporters his troops had done their job in Iraq and returning home after spending 15 agonizing months fighting was a welcome relief for men who had given more than required. He admitted adding three months to a 12 month tour of duty was devastating to morale. "It doesn't matter if you're the private or the general, 15 months is a long time." He pointed out adding the addtional three months meant that many experienced a situation in which they missed out on the same family event twice such as a birthday. General Rick Lynch boasted his division had reduced attacks from an average of 25 a day down to two. "We did our job over there against the dirtbags. We killed or captured aout 6,000."
The general made note when he referred to the "dirtbags" he meant insurgents, not the Iraqi people. Of course, the maority of the so-called "dirtbags" are those who were born and raised in Iraq.
One of the sad aspects of the Bush war in Iraq is the president is able to attend all family events while those he sent on the mad expedition continually have missed family affairs, not twice, but in some cases, four or five times.


text: I really love skating but I am also sort of a craven in skating. So many moves scare me to the point that I don't progress as fast as I want to just because I don't really try them. I don't really know why I am so scared as I have never hurt myself on the ice even though I have fallen quite a bit already. And even weirder is that I am not really scared while jumping but mostly with edge moves. I think with jumps it was that I was so eager to try them that I forgot to be scared. But they are very tiny and now I am scared again when I try to jump higher. Sigh. Do you have any ideas how to stop being so scared? I sometimes try to talk me into just trying and not caring about whether or not I fall and I even wish I would fall more often just so that I lose the fear of doing it but it does not seem to work to well. I already use wrist protection because I thought it might me feel braver but I don't really see the difference. Do you have any ideas?

Revision as of 10:33, 23 April 2009
This article is a draft, with further revisions actively invited. Drafts are typically different than stubs in that these articles are in an active edit process. Feel free to help by expanding the article.
We need to start a Haskell centered cookbook (aka, not a PLEAC clone)
This page is based on the Scheme Cookbook at http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/WebHome
1 Prelude
A lot of functions are defined in the "Prelude". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent Hoogle. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.
2 GHCi/Hugs
2.1 GHCi interaction
To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'
$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude>
Prelude is the "base" library of Haskell.
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
Prelude> let x = 5 Prelude> x 5 Prelude> let y = 3 Prelude> y 3 Prelude> x + y 8
`let' is also the way to create simple functions at the GHCi prompt
Prelude> let fact n = product [1..n] Prelude> fact 5 120
2.2 Checking Types
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
Prelude> :t x x :: Integer Prelude> :t "Hello" "Hello" :: [Char]
Haskell has the following types defined in the Standard Prelude.
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers Integer -- unbounded integers Double -- floating point values Char -- characters String -- equivalent to [Char], strings are lists of characters () -- the unit type Bool -- booleans [a] -- lists (a,b) -- tuples / product types Either a b -- sum types Maybe a -- optional values
3 Files
3.1 Reading from a file
The System.IO library contains the functions needed for file IO. The program below displays the contents of the file c:\test.txt.
import System.IO main = do h <- openFile "c:\\test.txt" ReadMode contents <- hGetContents h putStrLn contents hClose h
The same program, with some higher-lever functions:
main = do contents <- readFile "c:\\test.txt" putStrLn contents
3.2 Writing to a file
The following program writes the first 100 squares to a file:
-- generate a list of squares with length 'num' in string-format. numbers num = unlines $ take num $ map (show . \x -> x*x) [1..] main = do writeFile "test.txt" (numbers 100) putStrLn "successfully written"
3.3 Creating a temporary file
3.4 Writing a filter
Using interact, you can easily do things with stdin and stdout.
A program to sum up numbers:
main = interact $ show . sum . map read . lines
A program that adds line numbers to each line:
main = interact numberLines numberLines = unlines . zipWith combine [1..] . lines where combine lineNumber text = concat [show lineNumber, " ", text]
3.5 Logging to a file
4 Network programming
The following example makes use of the Network and System.IO libraries to open a socket connection to Google and retrieve the Google home page.
import Network; import System.IO; main = withSocketsDo $ do h <- connectTo "www.google.com" (PortNumber 80) hSetBuffering h LineBuffering hPutStr h "GET / HTTP/1.1\nhost: www.google.com\n\n" contents <- hGetContents h putStrLn contents hClose h
5.1 Libraries
There are multiple libraries available. In my own (limited) experience, I could only get HXT to do everything I wanted. It does make heavy use of [Arrows].
5.2 Parsing XML
6 Databases access
There are two packages you can use to connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3 and ODBC databases: HDBC and Hsql
6.1 MySQL
6.2 PostgreSQL
6.3 SQLite
Suppose you have created a 'test.db' database like this,
$ sqlite3 test.db "create table t1 (t1key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,num double,timeEnter DATE);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('This is sample data',3);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('More sample data',6);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('And a little more',9);"
Using HDBC and HDBC-sqlite3 packages, you can connect and query it like this:
import Control.Monad import Database.HDBC import Database.HDBC.Sqlite3 main = do conn <- connectSqlite3 "test.db" rows <- quickQuery' conn "SELECT * from t1" [] forM_ rows $ \row -> putStrLn $ show row
$ ghc --make sqlite.hs
$ ./sqlite
[SqlString "1",SqlString "This is sample data",SqlString "3.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "2",SqlString "More sample data",SqlString "6.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "3",SqlString "And a little more",SqlString "9.0",SqlNull]
7 Graphical user interfaces
7.1 wxHaskell
wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell based on the wxWidgets Library.
Hello World example:
module Main where import Graphics.UI.WX main :: IO () main = start hello hello :: IO () hello = do f <- frame [text := "Hello!"] quit <- button f [text := "Quit", on command := close f] set f [layout := widget quit]
This code was taken from "a quick start with wxHaskell".
7.2 Gtk2Hs
Gtk2Hs is a GUI Library for Haskell based on GTK. Gtk2Hs Tutorial.
Hello world example:
import Graphics.UI.Gtk main :: IO () main = do initGUI w <- windowNew b <- buttonNew set b [buttonLabel := "Quit"] onClicked b $ widgetDestroy w set w [windowTitle := "Hello", containerBorderWidth := 10] containerAdd w b onDestroy w mainQuit widgetShowAll w mainGUI
For more examples, see: Applications and libraries/Games
7.3 HOpenGL
HOpenGL is a Haskell binding for the OpenGL graphics API (GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3) and the portable OpenGL utility toolkit GLUT. There is a Haskell OpenGL Tetris program at [[1]] by Jim.
See also: Applications and libraries/Games
There are some Haskell bindings to SDL at Hackage.
8 PDF files
For the following recipes you need to install HPDF.
8.1 Creating an empty PDF file
The following code creates an empty PDF file with the name "test1.pdf":
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test1.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing
8.2 Pages with different sizes
If you pass "Nothing" to the function addPage, the default page size will be used for the size of the new page.
Let's create three pages, the last two pages with different dimensions:
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test2.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 100 100 addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 150 150
9.1 How to interface with C
Magnus has written a nice example on how to call a C function operating on a user defined type.
10 Testing
10.1 QuickCheck
10.2 HUnit

Hello all,
I have just got my clearance to start looking and posting on this wicked site! I have always loved Boba and i finally got a "half" completed suit over 2 years ago and yes i will agree, it has been a long process!!
I purchased an 'Altmann's has anyone seen one of these before?
I have since bought the 'Caboots' and spikes and a belt with functioning pouches and the side pouches that hang off the sides.
Hopefully i can get all the help and knowledge i will need to finish my costume here.:)

Guest Post By: Anne Chertoff
After the grandeur of the royal wedding last month many brides are finding inspiration in the formal details of Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day. The Queen who hosted the wedding mailed formal invitations — thick white cardstock with gilded edges and gold engraved lettering — to the 1,900 wedding ceremony guests.
For couples who are planning a formal wedding only a formal wedding invitation will do, but formal doesn't limit you to white or ivory mixed with black or gold lettering. A formal wedding invitation can have colors, a monogram or icon, as well as a serif or sans serif font. Here are 7 creative wedding invitations in a formal style:
His & Her Monogram
This classic wedding invitation is a pearl white card hand engraved with silver ink, but you can choose from a rainbow of colors and a variety of fonts for the wording. The top of the invitation features a monogram with the bride and groom's first initials. A coordinating grosgrain ribbon, you choose the color, is placed over the couples names in the center of the invitation. The invitation suite includes both an outer and inner envelope, invitation, response card and envelope and reception card. Embassy Pearl White & Beach Glass Invitation Set with Ribbon by Crane & Co., 100 sets for $620
Lace-Like Pattern
Many brides use their wedding dress as inspiration for their wedding cake so why not use your wedding dress to inspire your wedding invitation? This elegant design features a lace-like border in a subtle shade of gray. The wedding invitation wording is a mix of block and cursive fonts. The invitation suite includes the invitation, outer envelope, response card and response envelope. Gretchen by Gwyneth Paige, pricing for 100 sets starts at $1,540
Create a Crest With Your First Names
Instead of designing a monogram this crest motif features both the bride and groom's first names encircled by a decorative flourish. The mandarin colored card is engraved with oyster-colored ink. Mandarin Invitation by Vera Wang Fine Papers Folio Collection, 100 invitations and outer envelopes, $696

SuperG is right. The more frequently the dogs nails are trimmed, the more the quick recedes. It naturally wants to stay off the ground. However if nails are left long for a long period of time, the quicks will grow out along with the nails.
I've been a Professional Groomer for 5 years, feel free to PM if you want anymore help. All of these suggestions are great regardless

Black nails are really hard to tell where to cut. Just take off a little at a time. These were helpful for me:

Try envisioning the picture with a black nail:
Attachment 186090
I honestly think the easiest way is to get the angle right. A 45° angle works well to help the quik move back gradually. It took me a month to get my lab x at a good length. She has black nails and I had to just gradually cut a tiny bit off at a time. When we first rescued her, she was scared to death of the clippers. I had the vet try but no success either without a sedative. So I got her used to them by grabbing her paws and just holding her feet with the clippers in my other hand - without actually using them. After about a week, I was actually able to cut a tiny snippet off and gave her lots of praise and treats. She's more used to them now but its still a pain to do her feet. My GSD is fine with them.
Good luck!

I have heard this many times over the years and cannot say it is true but seems to work for me....Supposedly, the more often you trim their nails the quick recedes over time allowing you to trim the nail to the desired length. Problems occur when the nail is allowed to grow very long because the quick also grows very long in proportion. So, more frequent nail trimmings removing a smaller amount is better than infrequent trimmings removing larger portions as the latter will result in more clips through the quick.
I use a dremel style tool as well at times but only to take the rough edges off left behind from a traditional clipper.
I'll never forget my hack job I did on my first dog...cutting through the quick, not just on one nail but nooooooo..I had to continue and cut through another...looked wicked all the blood on the floor. Besides using styptic powder to stop bleeding one can also take a bar of soap and press and drag the affected nail into the soap bar and it stems the bleeding fairly well.
I am curious....are you having difficulties getting your dog to stay still during a nail trim or is that not the nature of your request for info?
|My dog absolutley hate clippers. It is probably my fault for going to short a couple of times. She doesn't really mind the dremmel at all, and it has the added bonus of being able to round off the nails.
I suggest scissor type nail clippers and not the guillotine type. Often its hard to judge with them if you're new to clipping. I agree with the dremmel but some dogs are afraid of it. In those instances you can clip the nails first (especially if they are very long as the dremmel heats up quick) and then use the dremmel to round and smooth and get that last amount off. A little less stress for dogs that are uneasy about it!

|I also used to use a dremmel on our guy, and plan on introducing a dremmel when we decide to get a new puppy. It made things a lot easier on everyone. Our guy used to flip his head when we tried to use clippers of any sort, and with the dremmel he'd often fall asleep as we did it.
|Mary Beth
|Nigel's advice is great. I use a dremmel also. But regardless, I did read that the longer the nail the longer the quick, so it is better to do grind or clip only a little bit every week and then gradually by the weekly trimming the nails will get short and the quick also. When I used to clip the nails, I did use a Quickfinder deluxe and it does work - it will show where the safe area is to cut.
|You might want to look into using a dremmel, no more sharp edges to deal with.

plays the music you love
Joshua Bell
During the '90s Joshua Bell signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical. He recorded the works of George Gershwin with composer John Williams. On the album Listen to the Storyteller, he performs a violin solo in a work by Wynton Marsalis. His concert work, Chaconne, was written for him by composer John Corigliano, based on Corigliano's music for the film The Red Violin. Bell's musical interests lie both with classical composers and living composers. In 1993, he performed a violin concerto by British composer Nicholas Maw and more recently a work titled Air by American composer Aaron Jay Kernis. Short Trip Home followed in 1999.
Most of Bell's time is devoted to concerts and recitals. During a season, he performs more than 100 concerts worldwide. He has played with the NHK Symphony in Tokyo, Orchestre National de France, the Danish Radio Orchestra, and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Because of his flexibility in playing both classical and contemporary music, Bell has made quite a name for himself as a violinist. For two months in 1997, he performed with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet in a tour beginning at Carnegie Hall. The tour consisted of chamber music and concertos. In his love for chamber music he organized an annual winter music festival in London. Performers have included Yefim Bronfman, Steven Isserlis, and the Orion String Quartet.
One of Bell's most praised accomplishments is his cadenzas for violin concertos. He has written cadenzas for Brahms, Beethoven, and Mozart. Joshua Bell remains a prolific violinist. He has appeared on television, on soundtracks, in recital, and, as of 2011, as music director of the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields orchestra. Bell, with a violin named "Gibson ex Huberman," has become a household name among classical musicians and devotees. ~ Kim Summers

Are you looking for a vendor or vendors to support your voice of the customer (VoC) program? Or are you reviewing your current VoC vendor(s)?
Selecting the right vendor or vendors can be hard! Why? The VoC vendor landscape is hard to decipher. There are many but relatively small vendors, and they rely on an interconnected network of partners, acquire each other at an impressive rate, and regularly expand into new spaces. And companies often already have a number of vendors they work with. In my recent webinar about VoC, most of the attendees had from three to five vendors that supported their VoC program in some shape or form.
But there are a few beacons to help orient you in your quest:

Want to be earth-friendly and super-mobile? Hop onto a folding bike
By Melissa Segrest
Green Right Now
You're cool and environmentally conscious. You eat organic and live green, right down to your trendy hemp shoes. You probably even drive a Prius and subscribe to Mother Jones.
But if you live in a city of much size, to be deeply green you must pimp your ride with a folding bike.
Europeans have been making and riding folding bikes for years. Asia, long a bicycle-dominant part of the world, has found folding bikes ideal for their cities' crowded streets.
Now America is gaining speed and folding-bike sales are growing.
A folding bike can be pricey (some models cost well above $2,000), but you can also find one for less than $300. Increasingly they can be brought aboard buses, subways and trains, folded so small they slip into carrying bags and cause no crowding complaints. The battle of squeezing a bike into elevators, apartments and offices becomes moot when your cycle can collapse to less than 3 feet in height. (Check with airlines before assuming you can fly your bike-in-a-bag as luggage.)
The collapsible cycle's origins are debated — some say it was invented by an American in the 1890s, others credit the French military, according to The Folding Cyclist. The folding cycles were widely used by the military in Europe during both world wars.
In the 1980s, two brands of folding bikes were born — Andrew Ritchie's Bromptons and Dr. David Hon's Dahons. Today, both are still big wheels in the folding bike field. Dahon is the largest, and one source says the company sold 638,000 bikes from 2006 to 2007. Bromptons are very popular in the UK and Asia.
Issues to consider before buying: How long does it take to fold and unfold? How much does it weigh? What size are the wheels?
Look at performance, speed and stability, and make sure the bike fits you.
How and where you'll use the bike is essential to your decision. Will you be on park paths during vacations, or traversing the mean streets of the big city getting to work? Will you ride long distances or lug your bike around as much as you ride it?
Folding bikes look a little odd, which is likely part of the appeal. Some of the colorful bikes – especially when folded — look more like works of industrial art than modes of transportation.
Many have elongated posts for seats and handlebars. The wheels can be very small (8- to 12-inch) but stability is sacrificed at that size. Most folding bikes have wheels in the 16- to 18-inch range (although some come as large as 26 inches). The small wheels can make the ride a bit rougher but the bikes are lighter and fold faster. The lightest weigh about 22 to 25 pounds. Most bikers prefer those with multiple gears rather than single-speed, and those with internal gears in the hub mean no more grease on your pants.
