While many of us were stuffing our faces and planning on what to do for the holidays, the San Francisco Giants have been busy. Earlier this week they signed Mark Melancon to a four year, $62 million deal. The signing helps San Francisco shore up their closer position, which was one of the worst in baseball last season. Giants fans grew all too familiar with watching a late game lead slip away in the 9th in September and culminating with the Giants blowing a 4 run lead in the 9th inning of Game 4 against the Chicago Cubs, who would eventually go on to win the World Series. While Bruce Bochy tried to switch it up between Santiago Casilla, Sergio Romo, and even Hunter Strickland, he was let down far too often.
Melancon split time between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals last season, but has been one of the better closers in recent years. After a career high 51 saves in 2015, Melancon was able to convert 47 combined between Pittsburgh and Washington last season. In the past two seasons combined, Melancon has only missed on 6 opportunities, while converting nearly 100. To put that in perspective, Santiago Casilla blew 9 opportunities just last season, following a season where he blew 6. In the same two year span he only converted 84.
Originally the signing seemed like a lot of money to pay for a reliever, but with the Yankees signing Aroldis Chapman to a 5-year, $86 million contract with a no trade clause and an exceptionally weird clause that says he can't be traded to any California team, the Melancon deal doesn't seem so bad. Melancon doesn't have the off field issues Chapman has, and has proven durable and good. Given the Giants' history of playing 1 run games, and Bochy's reliance on a bullpen, fans should breathe a sigh of relief (no pun intended), knowing they have a reliable closer at the end of games again. They haven't had this close of a sure thing since Robb Nen.
What may shock Giants fans is the announcement that the Giants don't intend to bring back Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez, or Sergio Romo. The departure of Casilla was all but foregone after the season he had last year when Giants fans started booing whenever he entered a game. In Philadelphia this just means it's a Tuesday afternoon, but when hometown guys get booed in the Bay Area it's a big deal. The Giants would have been foolish to bring him back.
Sergio Romo's attitude probably had a lot to do with his departure. Romo has been shaky in the past three seasons, or injured. This came to the forefront last year when on multiple occasions, after Romo was pulled, he would laugh if a reliever would give up a run. This attitude stops being acceptable in high school ball, and even if he felt he was pulled too soon, that's a conversation he needs to have with Bochy behind closed doors.
The most surprising departure is probably Javier Lopez, who has been about as surefire as you can get from a reliever. Since coming to the Giants, he has thrived as a lefty specialist in high leverage situations. With the bullpen faltering as much as it did last season, Bruce Bochy tried to stretch out Lopez a few times, and paid the price as we all saw why he should only be a specialist. That being said, I don't see how the Giants replace him with anyone currently on the team. These three leaving, following Jeremy Affeldt's retirement last season, means the "Core 4" will no longer be in orange and black.
Another shocking move the Giants made yesterday was trading Chris Heston to the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later. While Heston excelled in 2015, tossing a no hitter against the New York Mets, he crashed back down to Earth last season. While only appearing in 4 games for San Francisco, Heston struggled mightily in their farm system. It seemed to be a combination of missing time due to injury and the league readjusting to him, it was not a season to remember for the 28 year old.
The Giants must have felt with the influx of young arms, Heston didn't fit. Their bullpen next year will have some major adjustments and the 5th starter is up in the air, but the Giants seem to have improved by subtraction this offseason.
Quick Hits About the CBA
Much to the fans' delight, a new collective bargaining agreement was reached last week, meaning five more years of uninterrupted baseball. Here are the major changes:
- – The 15-day DL is now the 10-day DL so players won't have to miss as much time
- – The All Star Game will no longer determine home field advantage in the World Series. It will now be awarded to the team with the best regular season record.
- – Teams will only have 7 days to designate a player for assignment instead of 10.
- – Managers will not select All Stars. There will still be a fan vote, but the slots that used to be selected by the manager will now be selected by Major League Baseball.
- – There will be regular season games scheduled in multiple countries to promote the game. Mexico, Asia, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and London are all part of the plan.
- – The season will still be 162 games but will be stretched out to allow 4 extra off days.
Also, there is a competitive balance adjustment, meaning small market teams will forfeit their 3rd highest pick when signing a player who denied a qualifying offer. The major market teams (the Giants) will lose their second and fifth.

Build America Bonds are part of the federal stimulus plan and provide a 35% rebate on interest costs to issuers or a tax credit to investors, at the issuer's discretion. What this means is, because of the 35% federal government return, it turns into a lower borrowing rate despite of the fact that it draws a higher taxable financing cost to the issuer.
While a BAB could draw a higher taxable financing cost to the issuer than a tax-exempt bond, the 35% federal government giveback turns it into a lower borrowing rate.
When issued in large amounts and structured differently than the typical municipal bond, these securities could attract nontraditional muni investors, such as pension funds and foreign governments. BAB bonds are giving investors the opportunity to diversify risk into an asset class which historically is very stable.
Bonds to fund municipal projects normally are sold in the tax-exempt arena. With the advent of the Build America Bonds, or BABs, the $2.7 trillion market for tax-free debt is expected to see less volume in the months ahead. That has boosted this market also, with prices of the highly rated, long-term muni bonds advancing almost 0.3 percentage point.

Narcissism - How to Spot it In Your Man
By Breaking Up With Your Narcissist
Narcissism - How to Spot it In Your Man
Because it is so difficult to get involved in a real relationship anymore, women often overlook tendencies their man has simply to stay in the relationship. One of these tendencies that women should not overlook is narcissism. If your man suffers from this, or shows signs from this, it might be time to end things with him for your own sake. Many people do not talk about this trait as being a problem for relationships, but that only is because they never had to deal with it. It is deeper than the man simply loving himself. It can cause grave relationship problems.
If you are trying to look for the common signs of narcissism, the main one to find is your man's inability to empathize with other's feelings. When your man has this trait, it is a huge relationship problem because the time will come, if it has not already, when it is important for him to care about your problems as if they were his. A narcissist man cannot do that. They think they are the only ones who matter, so they often will overlook your problems as you nagging or complaining. Another common trait to look for is power. This type of man usually thinks they are worth more than anyone else and that they deserve to be treated better than anyone else.
Another strong trait of narcissism is envy. Because they feel as if they deserve to be treated better, they will become extremely envious of anyone who is treated better in their minds. This also can be seen if you have a great accomplishment under your belt. Instead of being proud of you like a healthy companion would, he will think you were not worthy of the accomplishment and become envious of you. From a relationship standpoint, this is exceptionally bad behavior.
If your relationship shows any of these signs, your man could be suffering from narcissism. There are two options you then can do. You can stick with him and try to get over all of his faults, or you can end the relationship. You have to weigh both sides and see which one you can handle doing. You have to remember that, although you might be able to change parts of him, he will not change being narcissistic. Many women do not see any of these awful qualities until the relationship gets serious because they tend to idolize people in the beginning of relationships.
For more information on surviving a narcissist read my digital reports about my own, ten-year experience of living with a narcissist here, at my narcissist advice website, Breaking Up With Your Narcisist
Breaking up with a histrionic narcissist? Be prepared for the battle of your life! While you are an emotional basketcase, he is as Cold as Ice! While you are left holding down the fort and dealing with the real-life responsibilities, he walks away from everything leaving you to mop off his stage and pay his bills. He will punish you in ways you couldn't possibly have ever imagined...
....and not even acknowledge it to himself! Why? Because he's off charming the socks off of new women as if your years together didn't even exist!
The narcissistic ex continually acts in abusive, bewildering and confusing ways. He is not above committing destructive acts. When the breakup becomes a reality, it is likely that his 'false persona' will completely disappear all together and you will most likely experience the most hurtful of behavior from him. He is completely lacking in empathy, and - since he is not receiving any admiration from you anymore - he will dismiss you and discard you as worthless to him, consequently dropping any fake front that he once fabricated in order to keep you in the relationship.

Research Handbook on the History of Copyright Law
Edited by Isabella Alexander and H. Tomás Gómez-Arostegui
Chapter 10: Determining infringement in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain: 'A ticklish job'
Isabella Alexander
The 1710 Statute of Anneis a convenient, if potentially misleading, starting point for copyright histories. Convenient, because it marks the beginning of copyright as a statutory right allowing authors some measure of control over products of the mind; misleading, because it does so only in retrospect. As Lionel Bently has observed, 'Had anyone celebrated the passage of the Act in April 1710 by declaring "this is the world's first copyright Act," the chances are that few, if any, would have understood what that meant.' At the time it was passed, the Statute of Anne was a narrowly conceived measure aimed at regulation of the book trade. It did not immediately establish a discrete area of law; indeed it had almost no immediate impact on the book trade's commercial practices. It is only when viewed over a much longer duration that it can be seen to provide the backdrop to the development of many of the features of the area of law which we identify today as copyright law. The most frequently examined effect of the Statute has been the debates it engendered over common law copyright. However, as the writer, translator, inventor, editor and serial literary squabbler William Kenrick wrote after the decision in Donaldson v Becket: 'It is to little purpose to determine whether literary property be temporary or perpetual, unless the nature of that property be also precisely determined.

Make this Simple Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner in less than 1 hour! One dish means dinner prep and clean up is easier than ever!
– – – – – – –
This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting A Pretty Life! xo
In case you haven't noticed, there's a sheet pan craze going on, on the interwebs right now. It's the kind of craze that I'll happily get on board with. Who can say no to only needing one dish for preparation and cooking? Not this gal.
People have been cooking this way for ages, but for some reason it's only becoming popular in this particular form as of recently. It's really just a variation of the one pot dishes that took over Pinterest last year. And honestly, this isn't new…I often make one dish dinners, like my One Pot Roasted Chicken Dinner and my One Pot Roasted Sticky BBQ Chicken Dinner. But the beauty of using a sheet pan, is that you can get a lot more ingredients into the dish.
These sheet pan dinners are made in pans that are different from regular cookie sheets. Sheet pans have at least 2 inches in depth, making them great for cooking without dripping or spills. I use this Nordic Ware Sheet Pan that I found at Winners last week. I love it so much, I'll definitely be going back to buy at least one more.
You may notice that I have one chicken breast separated with tinfoil, but this is only because my daughter is allergic to asparagus and I wanted to ensure it didn't come into contact with the juices.
Putting together this sheet pan dinner is as simple as lining up the ingredients on the pan, drizzling them with olive oil and seasoning with spices, then putting them into the oven to bake. With little preparation effort, dinner can be ready in less then 1 hour. Healthy, quick and delicious…dinner doesn't get better than that.
- 4 - 6 chicken breasts
- approx 15 mini potatoes, sliced
- 1 bunch asparagus
- olive oil
- seasoning salt
- fresh ground pepper
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Arrange the chicken, potatoes and asparagus on a sheet pan.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season generously with the seasoning salt.
Drizzle the potatoes and asparagus generously with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the potatoes are cooked. (See notes)
Recipe Notes
If you are concerned that the asparagus might overcook, you may wish to add it after about 15 minutes into the cooking time. For this particular sheet pan dinner, I added the asparagus at the same time as the rest of the ingredients, and it was cooked perfectly.
Sheet Pan Dinner Tips
- If you are concerned that the asparagus might overcook, you may wish to add it after about 15 minutes into the cooking time. For this particular sheet pan dinner, I added the asparagus at the same time as the rest of the ingredients, and it was cooked perfectly.
- One reader on my Instagram post suggested maybe putting the asparagus in the centre of the pan, as the outer edges of the pan tend to get hotter. I didn't have any issues with this, but it is a good point to consider.
- I used a seasoning salt (Lowry's), but you could use and seasoning salt you prefer (like Hys or Tony's), or your favourite spices.
- I didn't find it necessary to line my sheet pan with tinfoil or parchment paper, but I have seen this done on other recipes. None of the ingredients I used stuck to the pan.
- I use this Nordic Ware sheet pan for my sheet pan dinners.
Have a delicious day!

Lalmba was conceived in Eritrea in 1963. Despite wars and famines, Lalmba has continued our support of the people there since that founding date. The focus of our support is on the very poorest children, most of whom suffer not only the loss of parents, but physical disabilities as well.
Because of the political situation there, we are unable to send volunteers or directly provide services at this time; instead we support partners who perform this life-saving work in a country that largely shuns outside aid.
In spite of these obstacles, we continue to provide support for 30 orphans in the RCAR program, support 3 schools and help supply medicines for 2 health centers.

How would I start off a paragraph explaining why homework is good?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that your essay on the nature of homework would have to give some analysis to why it is an effective tool for instruction. Part of this would have to rest in the fact that homework is a tool for continuing instruction outside of class. The teacher's work with the child exists during a specific time constraints. Homework allows greater chance for students to interact with content outside of class. Another positive that can be argued about homework is that it represents practice. The implication here is that challenging skills can only be solidified through practice and proper repetition outside of the classroom setting. In order for anyone to become proficient in anything, there has to be interaction with it outside of class. In this, homework enables greater proficiency to be developed. Additionally, homework empowers both learner and teacher in that the student can gain strength in a particular task and the teacher can examine student work and assess where mistakes lie, prescribing remedies to student areas of challenge. These would be potential areas to argue in an essay that centers on homework, suggesting its attributes.

Toronto harm reduction workers are taking matters into their own hands by opening the city's first unregulated pop-up safe-injection site following a spate of deaths in and around the city — three in the last 24 hours.
The Toronto Harm Reduction Alliance is set to open the site Saturday at a "traditionally underserved" location in downtown Toronto, front-line harm reduction worker Matt Johnson told CBC News.
Johnson declined to give the site's exact location, citing the protection of users and organizers who could potentially be arrested, given that the space is not authorized by the city.
- Toronto harm reduction advocates pushing for pop-up safe-injection sites
- Spate of drug overdoses in Toronto wakeup call, experts say
- 3 dead in Durham region from drug overdoses, fentanyl suspected
That's a risk Johnson said they simply have to take.
"We just can't wait any longer.… With this many deaths we just can't afford to," he said.
City-sanctioned sites not sufficient, say advocates
The move comes as many harm reduction advocates call for the city to declare a public health emergency along with immediate funding for 24-hour care for drug users until Toronto's official safe-injection sites open later this year. The first of those sites, which would allow for illicit drugs to be used under the supervision of a medical professional, is set to open its doors this fall.
'You have to put up the tent and then the city will have to come around. It would be bonkers for the city to shut [it] down.'– Sarah Blyth, Vancouver-based community advocate
Although many have lauded the sites approved by Health Canada as a life-saving move, many harm reduction advocates have said they simply aren't enough to address what they see as a growing crisis.
"They were opened to deal with the overdose problem that we had — not the increase that we're dealing with. So they can't handle the overflow that we're seeing now," Johnson said, citing a rash of drug overdose deaths in the past month that prompted police to issue a public alert.
'We have to stop sort of viewing them as the answer," Leigh Chapman, whose brother died of an overdose on a downtown street in 2015, told CBC News on Friday.
Vancouver's response to pop-ups a model
Police did not respond to requests for comment on Friday. But Toronto isn't the first to see a pop-up injection site in Canada.
Sarah Blyth, a community advocate with the Overdose Prevention Society, opened up a tent in September in the alley behind the market that she manages in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside — out of what she says was desperation.
The group offered clean needles, food and basic care to anyone in need — and within months, the city got on board, bringing the clinic under the funding umbrella of Vancouver Coastal Health.
"It takes a fiscally smart government with an open mind," Blyth told CBC News on Friday.

Johnson said harm reduction advocates met with Mayor John Tory on Thursday to ask for assurances that police and city staff would not try to dismantle the site, should the group choose to go ahead with it.
"They couldn't give us those assurances," said Johnson, saying the group is now going forward without city backing and hoping for the best, with lawyers on hand in case arrests are made.
Johnson couldn't guarantee that a nurse will be present on-site at all times, but at least two people trained in advanced first-aid and naloxone administration will be inside.
Councillor won't condemn sites
"We're really really hoping that the police and city recognize the value of what we're trying to do, recognize that we're just trying to save lives."
And while the site will technically be illegal, Coun. Joe Cressy said he understands the frustration among harm-reduction advocates who are losing friends and colleagues to overdoses awaiting the construction of the city-run safe-injection sites.
The pop-up safe-injection site will technically be illegal, but Coun. Joe Cressy says he can't condemn it. (CBC)
"We wish our sites were open yesterday, and frankly they would have been if it didn't take nine months for the provincial and federal government to give us the funding to do it.… The City of Toronto cannot open a site which is illegal, I certainly cannot as a city councillor and as a harm reduction advocate, cannot condemn it."
Not all agree. Board of health chair Joe Mihevc stressed to CBC News Friday that without the proper exemption from the federal government, pop-up injection sites would be illegal, saying the city is working as fast as it can to open the city-sanctioned sites, while also equipping more staff with naloxone and providing more training on how to use it.
The hope, said Johnson, is that Toronto responds to the site in the same way that Vancouver did to Blyth's.
Meanwhile, Blyth has a message for her Toronto counterparts.
"I do believe you have to put up the tent and then the city will have to come around. It would be bonkers for the city to shut [it] down."

Is bringing a one year old a good idea? It will be our first family trip and I want to make sure it's safe for us to go... Do's and dont's?
Bora Bora Island Guide's response:
Hi Samantha,
This is a great question.
It is definitely possible to have a wonderful Bora Bora vacation with a young child. You will plan your vacation differently to if you were on your honeymoon though!
Be aware that most of the resorts are located on Motus, so transport between them and the main island are by boat. These boats very large and stable. Most of them have inside and covered areas. Just be aware that you will be stepping on and off of boats with your one year old. There are always staff around to assist, and you will find wonderful service within the resorts.
Many activities are on and around the lagoon. So be aware that you will need to take that into consideration when planning what activities you will do on your trip.
The lagoon is calm, and the beaches don't have waves. Matira beach - which is the main public beach - is shallow and calm, as are the beaches at the resorts.
Some resorts are more child friendly than others. The Four Seasons Bora Bora is best catered towards children as they have a fun dedicated kids club. This means that there will be other families at the resort. Children 4 years and under are welcome in the Tamarii Club when accompanied by an adult. There is a playroom, a room for resting and an outdoor area with a playground and a shallow children's splash area.
The St Regis is more romantic with its European style, but it also welcomes children. Cribs are available for in your room. High chairs are available at the restaurant and food is specially prepared by their chefs. You can also call the St Regis butler to have some in-room toys delivered. Babysitting is available for a fee, for children 1 year and older.
The Maitai is a more affordable option for a family style holiday. There were many families staying in these well-priced bungalows and ocean view rooms when we were there. The children would play on the beach together each day. This hotel is located on the main island, so this could be preferable to you with a little one too.
If you chose one of these three resorts, you will be well catered for, and will find a mix of guests at the resort - not just couples on their honeymoon!
Some children travel really well. If your child is one of those I would definitely say that it is possible to do a wonderful family holiday in Bora Bora with a 1 year old. Especially if you are wanting to mainly relax. However, you may also want to wait a year or two, as then your child will be able to participate in more of the vacation activities.
Let us know what you decide to do!

A mainstay in the Orange County circuit, Mission Viejo High School Model United Nations (MVHSMUN) put on its 28th annual conference on January 15th-16th, 2011.
With a saturation of conferences in the area (many high schools now host a conference), Mission Viejo changed the game with the addition of a novice, one-day conference.
Secretary-General William Chuang was excited to see over 800 advanced and approximately 500 novice delegates make the most of the 23 advanced and 16 novice committees.
With so many committees, Mission Viejo kept the conference under control with a robust secretariat structure, with USG's overlooking groups of committees. The 23 advanced committees included non-UN organizations including Interpol, the EU, and the Arab League. A robust parent booster organization and administrative network provided ample volunteer resources.
This year, William Chuang was proud to announce that the committees also managed to raise over 900 dollars toward a clean water charity. Congratulations to MVHSMUN for another successful conference in the highly-competitive Orange County circuit!
Best Delegation awards went to:
- Club – Marlborough High School
- Small School – University High School
- Medium School – Santa Margarita Catholic High School
- Large School – Huntington Beach High School

Data management is a key part of the infrastructure of most organizations, especially those dealing with large data stores. For example, imagine a team involved in scientifical analysis of data: they probably require a system to store the raw data in, another to analyze chunks of data quickly and cost-efficiently, and long-term archival to keep both the raw data and the result of their computation. In cases like that, it's important to deploy an automated system that can move data efficiently with integrated automatic backups.
In this course, the experienced System Administrator and Cloud Expert David Clinton will talk about implementing such a data management and backup system using EBS, S3 and Glacier, and taking advantage of the S3 LifeCycle feature and of DataPipiline for the automation of data transfers among the various pieces of the infrastructure. This system can be enabled easily and cheaply, as is shown in the last lecture of the course.
Who should take this course
As a beginner-to-intermediate course, some basic knoweldge of AWS is expected. A basic knowledge of programming is also needed to follow along the Glacier lecture. In any case, even those who are totally newcomers to these topics should be able to grasp at least the key concepts.
If you want to learn more about the AWS solutions discussed in this course, you might want to check our other AWS courses. Also, if you want to test your knowledge on the basic topics covered in this course, we strongly suggest to take our AWS questions. You will learn more about every single services cited in this course.

It's all Greek, to me.
I worked on my blog all day Sunday – doing mostly maintenance stuff, which is a lot of behind the scenes updating and upgrading that you, dear readers, don't see.
Sunday's project began, though, because of something you CAN see. That random picture I display in my sidebar (the one under the heading, "these are like a box of chocolates…") wasn't showing up. Instead, you saw that little white block with the red x inside it indicating you should right click on your mouse if you want to see the picture. (You've seen that before, right?) Except that when I tried that, the right click didn't display the picture, either. So, one of two things was responsible for this little glitch on my website – either my Picasa on-line photo album (where I store all the pictures I share on my blog) was corrupted or something in the program that puts those photos on my blog got corrupted.
Let me digress from my story to provide some background here. I use a program called WordPress for my website. WordPress is a very cool, open content management system created by some geek, Matt Mullenweg back in 2003. It uses a template system so that non-geeks like me, can create websites without getting into PHP and HTML code. Sweet, huh? Of course, geeky techno-types can and do manipulate PHP and HTML code in WordPress to fine tune their sites in any way they want, which makes the program beautiful for them, too! Oh, and have I mentioned, WordPress is free?
According to Wikipedia, more than 12 million people worldwide use WordPress for their websites. And, of course, all 12 million want their sites to look and/or function somewhat differently than the next guy. So, to say the least, there is a lot of tweaking going on in the world. The coolest part about an open management content system in its most simple terms is that smart geeky people can create a bit of code to do a specific thing on their websites, add it to their WordPress code and, voila, presto change-o!
In the meantime, people like me see the cool geeky things on their websites and want some of it, too! Problem is, we don't write code. Fortunately, many geeks share their codes with the rest of us – for free (some ask for donations, but they are not required) in a super huge on-line book called the WordPress Codex.
The WordPress Codex is like a bible to users. And, that is where I ultimately needed to go on Sunday, since my website sidebar problem was not a Picasa issue, after all. I searched through hundreds of photo plug-ins, that's what they're called) in the Codex database, and finally found a new plug-in that displays pictures from a Picasa photo album on my website's sidebar. Exactly what I need! Which, of course, was very cool, until I uploaded it, activated it, and totally crashed my whole sidebar! Now, understand that thousands of people have already used this plug-in with no problem. Dammit! So, what combination of layout parameters and other installed plug-ins on my site caused this fail?
Is there anyone else in the whole world that uses my exact combination of web builder, theme, plug-ins, webhost? Extremely doubtful. And, if one were to exist, is it possible to even find him? I guess my chances might be one in 12 million! (The best analogy I can think to demonstrate how different each site can be made is to ask you to picture a huge bowl of cooked spaghetti noodles – no two bowls of noodles are ever exactly alike even though all the noodles came from the same pot.)
So, I scratch my head a bit, put my thinking cap on and finally, get it removed from my site. Hooray! All is good again, except I still need a photo plug-in for my sidebar and I will have to re-set some other plug-ins that got lost during this minor fiasco.
I peruse a handful more plug-ins in the Codex, find another I'm willing to try, and sure enough it works for me. Hooray! Now, to stylize it. Do I want one picture, two pictures, three or four pictures to display at one time? One column, two columns, three columns? Do I want space between those pictures, a border around the pictures, a certain thickness of a border around those pictures, a certain color on the border? Sheesh! The ultimate color I chose by the way, (look over to my sidebar, to your right) is color, 91989F, the code for a medium gray. Choosing the other options is hit and miss. You try something one way, don't like the look, try another way, the photos are too crowded, try another way, the border is too thick, try another way, etc. You set and re-set options until you are satisfied. And, after a while of working at it, I was satisfied.
Once the sidebar photo problem was resolved I decided to work on a few other changes that I have wanted to implement. One plug-in I wanted to find and install affects "Recent Comments" on my sidebar. Believe it or not, there are many plug-ins available that change just that one item – Recent Comments. (Do you see it over there, on your right? Hint: Scroll up!) I wasn't having any luck finding one that featured the change I wanted to make, but knew it had to exist because a friend of mine was using it on her blog. I sent her a message on Facebook and as I waited for her response, I found one in the Codex.
I uploaded and activated it only to be disappointed in how it looked on MY sidebar. You see, my sidebar is a little narrow and to widen it, I would have to get into the code of my theme, and honestly it is just not prudent for me to go messing around with the code in there.
Well, dammit, this Recent Comment plug-in had it all, but my problem was, I just didn't have room on my sidebar for it all! In addition to displaying the commenter's name and the name of the blog post he or she commented on, it also displayed several words of the person's comment and their freaking picture beside all of that! I'm sure it looks fabulous just as it is on someone else's website!
So, why would I use that plug-in, you ask? Well, because it was the only one that I had found that had the ONE feature I wanted.
I wondered if I could remove all the extraneous stuff I didn't want from the code, and keep what I did want. Boy, I hated the thought of changing code; first, because dummies like me should let the code alone and second, every time there is a future update, I would have to go into the new version,change it and hope it works the same as it did before. Maybe my Facebook friend responded with the plug-in she used and would save me from what I was about to do. But, alas, no such luck.
What I know about code would fill a thimble. Oh, yeah, I've looked at code now and again and have made a FEW LIMITED SUPERVISED changes. But, most of it looks like gobbledy-gook to me. But, hey, I do know that most PHP starts with a less than symbol and ends with a greater than symbol and for some reason has a question mark in there, too. How hard can this be? I scroll through I don't know how many lines of mumbo jumbo code and I am surprised to find the section that will keep the commenter's picture from displaying on my sidebar. Yes, I would like to get rid of that! And, I see the beginning <?php and ending >?php characters. Oh, yeah, I think I can do this. And, with shaky hand (not really, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous) I highlight the section between those characters and hit delete. But, the nano second before I can stop my trigger finger, I see one of those squiggly brackets ( } ) left in the code that should be deleted with everything else but it is not highlighted to be deleted with everything else. OH NO! I'm screwed, I think. And yes, instantaneously, WordPress is gone, my website is gone, both lost in cyberspace somewhere and I have no clue how to get them back.
Now, I've really done it, I think. Maybe I can log into my web host (I use HostMonster), get into my Unlimited FTP file (that's File Transfer Protocol, I think), find the plug-in that I just royally screwed up which caused me to lose all of my other data and send it to blog hell!
And, indeed, I do find the culprit plug-in folders. I am so smart, I think! Delete them and I'm back in business, I think! What might the repercussions to doing that be, I wonder? Maybe I should get help, I think. Yes, I am smart, I think, so, I wise up and call my webhost support team, tell Patrick the gory details of the stupid thing I had done and ask him to fix it, which he does. And, my blog is saved!
By then, my Facebook friend responds to my earlier request and provides the link to the plug-in she uses on her blog. I upload it, nothing dramatic happens and so happy am I, I work on my blog for a few more hours, adding and removing plug-ins as I see fit!
Geez, I know I've rambled quite a bit with this post and I do apologize, but it was truly a rambling sort of day! But, I must also say (except for those few minutes of panic when I thought I had lost everything) I had a blast!
The funny thing is that after all this, I do not know yet if the new plug-in to my Recent Comments sidebar works. I will know after I get new comments from you all out there if that ONE little feature that I worked so hard to install actually does what I want it do. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Let me know how you like the changes I've made, will you?
And, finally, I want to shout out a thank you to WordPress, Tarski, HostMonster and the whole slew of geeky plug-in authors that help me have a blog MY WAY! You all rock!

I saw a story headline yesterday that the public school system in Augusta, Georgia is considering eliminating cursive writing from its curriculum.
OMG, I thought.
I was taught cursive writing and penmanship in third through fifth grades. I remember my school principal, Mr. Hillegas, visiting our class every year to exhort the importance of good penmanship. He had the most beautiful handwriting. So did all of my teachers. I was jealous of those few students that were good at it, too. Every class had one or two students that the teacher just couldn't rave enough about. These show-offs were always singled out and piled with compliments and had samples of their writing posted on the bulletin board to show the rest of us just how crappy we were.
So, how much do I write with my "fair hand" these days, I wondered. Let me look at my journal that I no longer use since I have a blog. Hmmm, all printed. Grocery list – printed. Story ideas written on scraps of paper, strewn all over my desk and in my purse – printed. To-do list at work – printed. I do have ONE piece of paper here that I have written in cursive. Written on it are the words Declaration of Independence and Timothy Matlack -words that I plan to use in just a minute in this very blog post. Kinda, ironic, isn't it? I guess if I was of a different generation, I would have been taught proper texting and might have printed doi and tm mtlck on my paper instead, saving myself a whole lot of time.
Heck, come to think of it, if I wasn't so old-fashioned I wouldn't have all these papers anyway. All of these notes would be encrypted on my iphone, ready for me to peruse securely with a mere tap of my finger.
Is cursive writing a dying form of communication?
The word cursive comes from the Latin, meaning flowing. Back in the day, it helped us move from labor intensive hieroglyphics to syllabic letters. We could connect these letters and speed up the whole writing process. And, cursive writing reduced the number of times we had to dip our quills, thereby reducing those unsightly ink smudges.
Before the typewriter, professional documents were written in cursive writing. People that had a fair hand could made a living utilizing their penmanship skills. Timothy Matlack, patriot and statesman, wasn't paid to write with his fair hand, the final fair copy (aka parchment copy) of our Declaration of Independence.
Which reminds me, I still write my own John Hancock in cursive.
I miss receiving letters in the mail written by friend or family member in long hand. And, somehow, thank you notes seem rather impersonal if done on a keyboard.
idk, wdyt?
Chewing the fat with a country girl
Right now, it is early Saturday morning, dark and raining. Daylight is very slow in coming and it is, indeed, a good day to write. So, with coffee in hand, I compose this post.
November was a very interesting month for me and, lucky for you, I feel like telling you all about it!
First, about NaNoWriMo. I did not write the required number of 50,000 words and did not win the coveted prize – the NaNo tee shirt. Believe it or not, I'm okay with that. Without having more than a vague notion on Day 1 of what I wanted to write, I really didn't expect to accomplish such a lofty goal. As the days progressed and my ideas stagnated, I began to write pure garbage to try to maintain a decent word count. Then, it occurred to me that I was wasting valuable time for nothing. Don't get me wrong. Out of the 23,706 words I have written, I might could use four or five thousand as a beginning draft to my story. And, that is good! It is a beginning. It is more than I had on October 31. Next, I begin the task of writing each of my possible three plots to see which one works.
Second, I recently received a renewal notice from my web host regarding cindyscountrycorner.com. Wow. That means I've been doing this blogging thing for a year now. The notice made me think about my site and how it first got started. In the beginning, I had no idea where it was headed. I thought I'd write more entries than I actually did. I thought I'd write more about aging, and books, and recipes. I thought I'd write more about the lowcountry and events going on in my neck of the woods. Turns out, this blog is not any of those things. It is really just my journal of life. It means that this blog will never get famous or that strangers from the world over will hang on every word I write or that advertisers will clamor for a spot on my site. And, I'm okay with that, too. That one renenwal notice solidified for me what this blog is about.
But, that revelation made me realize that I want to start another website. My OTHER website. The one where I actually DO write about the people and events in the lowcountry. It will be an on-line magazine. And, it will be the definitive site to visit if you are a local or a visitor to my neck of the woods! And, of course, it will attract both local and web advertisers. Well, that's my dream, anyway! I have a domain name picked out, but cannot reveal it yet. I wouldn't want someone else to buy it first!
A third thing that happened to me in November is meeting a writer, Amy Oscar, who is in the process of writing a book about angels. She is looking for angel stories to include in her project and I directed her to two of my stories – "Millie's Angel" and "Thinking in Threes." The exciting news is that she likes one of these stories ("Thinking in Threes") and is including it in her work! Oh, I don't get paid for the story or anything like that. Heck, I'm not even sure I will be given credit. She might only use bits and pieces of the story for all I know. But, the thing that is important is that I wrote something that someone else can use. Writing doesn't get any better than that, me thinks! (I've added her personal website, Story, Spirit, Seed to my Sites I Like list located on the left sidebar of this page)
A fourth thing that happened last month is that one of my blog pictures was used on another website and it links to my website! The picture is one I took this past summer during sister vacation. It is a shot of the front of Phipp's Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA. Go here to see it! http://www.nextstop.com/guide/Y4WaPVDKSI4/go-pittsburgh/
A fifth thing is that I joined Facebook. If any of you would like to friend me there, you can find me by clicking anywhere on my Facebook Profile Badge which is located on the left sidebar of this page (near the very bottom of the page).
Oh, and one other thing that I should have mentioned earlier is that I am going to start writing my cookbook. I had forgotten about my desire to do that until a few days before Thanksgiving. My friend at work, Pat, had found a macaroni and cheese recipe on All Recipes she wanted to use for her big family Thanksgiving reunion. I remembered one that I make that is super easy and super good. It is from "Mrs. Whaley's Charleston Kitchen." This is a wonderful little cookbook that is also filled with pearls of wit and wisdom from a very charming and witty Charleston grand dame. I hadn't had this book out in a while and immediately fell in love with Emily Whaley all over again. Since I am full of advice and opinions and love to cook, I thought that I, too, could become a cookbook author! Maybe I'll call my cookbook "Chewing the Fat with a Country Girl." Haha!

I have advised every new programmer to at least understand certain concepts in C. Howmuchever higher paradigm we use to program, understanding of the basic memory management and basic data-structures go a long way. C is one of the best languages to do so, it carries the least baggage in this regard. Of course, many of us have moved to C++ for various reasons. It is not that C++ is always better than C, but for some problems C++ makes it easier to write maintainable and flexible code; or achieve the desired balance in an easier way.
Moving to C++ is not easy, there is a shift in paradigm in thinking. Nobody can escape understanding OOP, though OOP can be applied equally well in C. The only difference is that C does not support it in the language.
Unfortunately I have seen a lot of C++ code which ends being a mess of C and C++. This maybe either because of programmers who either overdo or underdo the paradigm shift or because of reamins of legacy code. The difference is not only in using classes, the advantage comes out of using the standard library facilites instead of doing the low-level manipulations yourself. While there cannot be any such list which can guide programmers, here is a small list which can help you see some benefits by coding in C++.
- Use vectors instead of arrays. A vector knows its size, an array does not. You can also resize a vector without doing explicit memory allocations.
- Use inline functions instead of macros. Macros do not obey the C++ type and scope rules. You can also use templates for more complex macros.
- Use C++ string class instead of raw C string. Again, this can save you from many explicit memory manipulations and provide a lot of string utilities as well.
- Use new/delete instead of malloc/free. While both end up allocating memory, new also invokes the constructor to build the object. Using malloc/free objects will involve a lot more work from your side. There are other differences like, you need to calculate the memory size to be allocated before using malloc, and since malloc only allocates memory it does not know type of the data requiring you to type case to use it. There is no harm in using malloc for basic data types, as they are not objects. But it is a cardinal sin to cross the allocation and deallocation techniques. new/free and malloc/delete is nothing but a disaster.
- Use cin/cout/cerr. The input/output stream objects are typesafe and extensible.
- Use libsigc++ for callbacks. A couple of benefits is that it provides typesafety and adaptors for connecting dissimilar callbacks.
Similarly, Boost provides some excellent libraries which you can use to work at a higher abstraction. C++ aims at eliminating some of the pain points in C. However, it is critical to unlearn some of the C ways of doing things and adopt the C++ ways. There are popular arguments that these abstractions cause slower programs, which definitely might be true in some cases. However, I wonder if majority of applications see this.
Another argument is about the bloat that the C++ programming style brings in. While it can be blamed on the language, an improper use is the underlying cause most of the times. There are some guidelines while thinking of the design too, but let us keep that for another post.
Do not take these points as a list for why C++ is better than C, and feel free to add to this. I think the suitability depends on the context, not only on the features. However, if you do end up using C++ try to follow these. If you do not, you will not see any advantage of using C++; if you do, you will see and enjoy the C++ goodness.

YENDA, Australia (Reuters) - The winding lines of shipping containers outside Casella Wines may mark the high-point of Australia's A$3 billion wine export market as drought and possible climate shift bite.
John Casella heads the country's biggest family winery, based 600 km from the coast in the farming town of Yenda, the "enda the earth" jokes Viticultural Manager Kelly Drysdale.
The booming business dispatches 40 containers of wine to the world every day, turning over A$300 million ($244 million) a year, mostly on the back of exports to the United States.
But Casella fears the halcyon days may be past as Australia endures the worst drought in decades and with the specter of climate change and a hot summer ahead.
"If we don't get rain the budget end of Australian wine will disappear and it will be replaced by budget imported wines, casks, cheap sparklings," he told Reuters in his modest office facing towering wine storage tanks.
"I would say if it does dry significantly, I'd say we will lose two-thirds of our exports."
Casella's budget Yellow Tail tops the U.S. import market. More than 8 million cases made their way to America in 2006, up 7.3 percent and commanding a healthy slice of the 73 million cases imported in the United States.
Australia's wine industry is one of the country's export successes, with sales to China and the U.S. pushing exports worth around A$3.007 billion and 805 million liters in the year to July, according to the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation.
The country's high-tech approach to harvesting and wine manufacture, backed by aggressive marketing and soft-drinking styles has led the global push by so-called New World makers.
The United Kingdom remains the most lucrative market, with A$974 million in sales, ahead of the United States (A$972 million), Canada (A$273 million) and New Zealand (A$102 million).
But Casella says grape shortages and severe price increases lie ahead without urgent rain to end a drought that has lasted years in Australia's interior and is intensifying.
"It will be very damaging to a lot of Australian brands because you're coupling that with an 80c dollar for the U.S. market and all of a sudden wine is having to change several price points and the competitors move in," he said.
Australia's top science organization, the CSIRO, has predicted global warming will force wholesale change on Australia's A$4.8 billion wine industry, threatening the very existence of some varieties as temperatures soar.
"With earlier harvest in a warmer climate, the temperature of the ripening period in some regions will become too warm to produce balanced wines from some or maybe all grape varieties growing there now," lead researcher Leanne Webb said.
Temperatures in most Australian wine regions are projected to rise by up to 1.7 degrees Celsius (3 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2030.
That in turn, Webb said, would reduce grape quality in some regions by 12 to 57 percent, with the temperamental Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, as well as some Chardonnay varieties, almost disappearing from the mainland.
The harvest-time temperature in the current cool-climate Coonawarra region of South Australia, which grows some of Australia's best known reds, would rise from 13C to 19C on average by 2050.
"They're predicting a lot of things and you really can't go out and change things on the basis of predictions," Casella says.
"You can change grape varieties in a timespan of three years if we have to, so we'll look at things then. It's hard to predict how the vines will react to the higher temperatures."
Drysdale, a talkative, energetic 36-year-old, says the industry may cope by reducing croploads, or encouraging grapes to ripen earlier or find more heat-tolerant varieties.
She constantly patrols the vineyards and grower farms, guiding Indian contract workers as they prune back vines, and planning expansion along a line of wooded hills in the distance.
Wine and Brandy Corporation's chief executive Sam Tolley says the drought will be the biggest challenge facing the local industry into 2008 with many wineries told to expect only minimal supplies of irrigated water to keep vines alive.
"The drought has been managed well, but the question intensifies for the next year, though, in view of the very small allocations of water," he says.
Further east, on the cooler hills near Australia's capital Canberra, Tim Kirk is taking action against climate shift.
An intense early frost on his Clonakilla vineyard this year wiped the production of his premium shiraz-viognier from 85 barrels in 2006 to just eight in 2007.
To ensure it never happens again Kirk has brought more land on hills nearby to keep the grapes above the frost in the valleys -- an expensive but necessary decision.
"We are certainly seeing a warming trend and an earlier vintage progression," he says. "I have no doubt that there is something different going on, but I don't know whether it's short-term or long-term change."
Kirk, whose prized viognier sells for A$85 a bottle, is also trialing different grape varieties like grenache, which traditionally grow in warmer regions than the Canberra hills.
Other wine makers are experimenting, trying heat-tolerant Sangiovese and Brunello from Italy and colder climate Tempranillo, originally from Spain.
"We'll have to see how it goes I guess," he says.
Casella says the industry is not failing despite drought.
"It's based on one resource and that's water. Growers have to be confident and look forward to something happening," he says.
"Should those vines die, the brands will just fall off the shelf and, given the amount of capital that you need to establish vineyards, the grape industry may never come back I'd say."
Casella has put in an advanced water recycling facility for his sprawling 80 acre winery site to help guard against climate shift and cuts bringing his normal irrigation entitlement to 30 percent in the face of the crippling drought.
"At the very minimum the vines will survive. There is still time for rain and if the water allocations reach 60 percent we'll see this season out without a problem," he says.
He says if the drought continues, many Australian winemakers will move out of budget production and into the premium wine sector, producing less, but of higher quality and value.
But his family, which came to Australia from Sicily in 1952, has begun to think the unthinkable and consider whether global warming could also force a production move overseas.
"If we can't see that Australian production will return in the foreseeable future, how we will take advantage will be with a combination of imported wine and maybe branding will go to a place like South America, even Europe, south of France or somewhere like that, setting up a production place and marketing wine out of that area," Casella says.
"But that would be a worst case scenario. We need to remain optimistic."

GOLANTILLA, a very impressive winner of a point-to-point and a bumper, ran a tremendous race when third to Briar Hill in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and can take this before heading back there for another crack next month. Killultagh Vic couldn't quite handle the useful Wounded Warrior at Navan then scrambled home over 2m3f here so the four-year-old Red House Hill may prove more of a threat. He was well supported on his debut at Down Royal and duly obliged with the suggestion there was more to come. Victoria Hill had reportedly been schooling well so it was a surprise when he was sent off 33/1 for his debut and even more of a shock when he battled to victory. There was no fluke about it and there's no reason why he shouldn't go well again.
Golantilla (IRE) 9-1 (11-5) Mid-division, headway over 3f out, ridden to challenge and every chance over 1f out until inside final furlong, kept on same pace, just held on for 3rd, 3rd of 23, 9l behind Briar Hill (11-5) at Cheltenham 2m N H flat G1 (1) gs in Mar.
Victoria Hill (IRE) 33-1 (11-11) Tracked leaders, led on bend after stands before halfway, pushed along approaching straight, challenged 1f out, kept on well under pressure inside final furlong, won at Thurles 2m N H flat in Jan beating Measureofmydreams (12-0) by 1/2l, 14 ran.
Akorakor (FR) 8-1 (11-7) Tracked leader in 2nd, led 6th, mistake 2 out and soon ridden, headed early run-in and soon no impression, kept on one pace, 3rd of 10, 4 1/2l behind Sure Reef (11-7) at Leopardstown 2m 4f 4yo mdn hdl sft in Dec.
Killultagh Vic (IRE) 4-9fav (11-12) Held up, took keen hold, soon in rear of mid-division, closer order and wide straight, challenged in 2nd under 2f out, led narrowly 1f out, pressed and stayed on well inside final furlong, won at Naas 2m 3f N H flat sft in Jan beating On Your Eoin (12-0) by 1 3/4l, 12 ran.
Silverpockets (IRE) 14-1 (11-2) Led, clear early, joined over 6f out, soon headed, dropped to moderate 6th and no extra from over 2f out, kept on same pace, 6th of 11, 28l behind Supreme Bailerina (11-9) at Wexford 2m mrs N H flat gf in Jul.
Red House Hill (IRE) 6-1 (11-0) Tracked leaders, closer in 3rd 3f out, led 2 1/2f out, soon ridden, joined 1 1/2f out, stayed on well under pressure to assert close home, won at Down Royal 2m 4yo nhf hvy beating Railway Rule (11-0) by 1/2l, 7 ran.
