And that would be our 10 year old, taking pictures of her food. Not sure when this interest bubbled up, though she enjoys taking pictures in general - of the baby, the cat, leaves, flowers, etc.
She is an artist at heart, for instance, once she made this out of mushrooms and took a picture...
The running shroom!
I often find funny photos of the baby, and lots of blurry pictures. This one she somehow took with a pair of binoculars, I think it's pretty cool!
Do your kids do the same? Not sure if she'll continue with her food photos, but it seems I'm sharing my lil' old point and shoot all the same. Think it's time this mama got some spoiling with a proper new camera, don't you think? :)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Allison Williams, who stars in the HBO comedy "Girls," will play Peter Pan opposite Christopher Walken as Captain Hook in the TV musical special "Peter Pan Live! on NBC," the television network said on Wednesday.
The live television production of J.M. Barrie's tale about a boy who can fly and never grows up will be broadcast on Dec. 4. It follows the success of last year's live special of "The Sound of Music Live," which starred country singer Carrie Underwood and drew an audience of 19 million.
"We think she will bring the perfect blend of boyish vulnerability and bravado to save the day against Christopher Walken's powerful Captain Hook," Robert Greenblatt, the chairman of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement.
Williams, 26, is the daughter of "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams.
The live musical is part of the Comcast Corp-owned network's strategy to woo viewers to watch programs live, which is more valuable to advertisers than viewing later on digital video recorders.
Williams, who appeared in Fox comedy series "The Mindy Project," before joining "Girls," said she has wanted to play Peter Pan since she was a child.
Walken, 71, who won a best supporting actor Oscar in 1979 for "The Deer Hunter," would bring a new spin to Captain Hook, Greenblatt said.
It will be the third live "Peter Pan" broadcast by NBC, but the first in nearly 60 years.
The network aired the original Broadway production, starring Mary Martin in the title role, in 1955. It was so popular the network did a second live broadcast in 1956 and later aired a taped production.

Who will help the newly insured?
Newfound health benefits often come with newfound questions. But most states have either spurned or run out of federal funding for consumer assistance programs aimed at guiding Obamacare's newly insured through the complexities of using their coverage.
Some states with GOP governors never sought Affordable Care Act dollars for these programs. Most states that did have almost used up the federal cash and are struggling to keep programs afloat. Only 12 states and the District of Columbia now have active consumer assistance programs, and they're basically on their own.
Story Continued Below
"These are a crucial resource to protecting people's access to actual care," said Cheryl Fish-Parcham, deputy director of health policy for Families USA. "Without funding, many of these programs will close."
( Obama: You can call it 'Obamacare')
People who have never been insured or who have had long gaps in coverage are often bewildered by the jargon and process: What's a deductible, they ask. A co-payment? Co-insurance? When do I need an insurance card? How can I locate a primary care physician? What if the doctor isn't in-network? The questions may not be difficult, but the answers can be crucial for getting or not getting appointments, prescriptions, tests or referrals.
"Enrollment is like a pre-step," said Sarah Davis, associate director and a clinical assistant professor of law at the Center for Patient Partnerships at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Having insurance isn't the goal, having insurance is the precursor to effectively utilizing health insurance, to accessing care. The goal is the care, and there are roadblocks along the way."
State insurance departments have had consumer service components for decades, but the ACA created these more comprehensive programs specifically to clear roadblocks, whether with Obamacare or other coverage. Not only do they help individuals with the particulars of insurance, they educate them about their legal rights, work with them to file complaints and appeals and even track coverage disputes.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes: More Obamacare, less work)
The need is significant. According to a December study published in the journal Health Affairs, fewer than 1 in 4 uninsured Americans understands key terms like deductibles, out-of-pocket spending caps or provider networks. Advocates are concerned that if people run into problems after getting insurance but can't find help, many might not seek care or renew their coverage.
The ACA originally allocated $30 million to support the programs, and the Department of Health and Human Services doled out an additional $30 million in August 2012. But most of this money is gone, even though 15 states with Republican governors never applied for funding in the first place. There seems to be little chance of more funding any time soon.
"The loss of the federal funding has been a serious problem for consumers because it's not fair to enroll people into coverage and not have the support people really need to be able to use it," said Elisabeth Benjamin, vice president of health initiatives at the Community Service Society of New York, which has been contracted to oversee the state's program. "It's a path to nowhere."

Are Your Kids Becoming TV Addicts? Guess What the Cure Is
Want your kids to watch less TV? Spend more time with them. It's that simple. A new study indicates doing so could mean they log 30 fewer minutes in front of the boob tube every day.
"A half-hour each day may not seem like much, but add that up over a week, then a month, and then a year and you have a big impact," said David Schary, lead author of the study. "This sets the stage for the rest of their life."
"When children are very young, playing is the main thing they do during waking hours, so parental support and encouragement is crucial," he added. "So when we see preschool children not going outside much and sitting while playing… we need to help parents counteract that behavior."
Study co-author Bradley Cardinal said it's especially important for younger children: "Early life involvement is imperative for establishing healthy, active lifestyles, self-awareness, social acceptance, and even brain and cognitive development."
And if you don't have the energy to keep up with a toddler, don't worry — even just watching her play can make a difference.

With the introduction of the Lexus GS350 midsize sedan for 2007, Lexus managed to hit the sweet spot between an entry-level luxury sedan and a premium sports car. A replacement for the GS300, the four-door GS350 debuted with a larger 303-horsepower V-6 engine and a slew of standard high-end amenities.
The GS350's sloping fastback silhouette and low to the ground profile were carried over from the third-generation GS300, which received a dramatic redesign just a year before its replacement. The most noticeable change in the new GS350 is a more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 engine, a near-60 horsepower increase over the previous GS model.
A direct fuel-injection system coupled with the GS350's bigger drivetrain helps the car reach zero to 60 mph acceleration in a reported 5.7 seconds, while a multilink suspension provides the athletic handling of a true sport sedan. Models are available in rear drive or all-wheel drive.
Major standard features on the five-passenger Lexus GS350 include wood and chrome interior trim, leather upholstery, a power sunroof, heating driver seat, alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, and a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel with audio and cruise controls. Optional upgrades include ventilated seats, a 14-speaker 330-watt Mark Levinson sound system, a navigation system with backup assist camera, parking assistance, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and run-flat tires.
A prototype of a new trim level, the 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport, was introduced in 2012.
Like its predecessor, the Lexus GS350 strikes a compromise between luxury and sport. However, the newer GS sedan closely lives up to its designation as a refined sport sedan thanks to a 3.5-liter double overhead cam V-6 that offers up even more horsepower than the GS350's V-8 equipped sibling, the Lexus GS430.
The luxurious side of the GS350 is apparent in its long list of comfort and convenience features, which include a multi-level heating driver seat, 10-way adjustable seats with memory settings, leather upholstery, real wood and leather trim, a power glass sunroof, and a 10-speaker premium audio system. With room for five passengers and ample cargo space, the GS350 can transition from a luxury commute vehicle during the week to a posh family car on weekends.
The 2012 Lexus GS350 comes in one well-appointed trim, which is available in either rear or all-wheel drive. Under the hood, a 3.5-liter 303-horsepower V-6 engine powers the vehicle with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
All exterior and interior features were carried over from the previous 2011 GS350. Production of the 2012 GS350 was limited to a short run as Lexus prepared to release a drastically-redesigned 2013 GS350 model in early 2012.
Standard features on the 2012 GS350 include a power sunroof, power trunk closer, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, real wood trim, heated driver seat, 10-way adjustable seats with memory settings, automatic xenon headlights, foglights, keyless ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 10-speaker audio system with six-CD changer. Standard safety equipment includes stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags, knee airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, and a Safety Connect emergency telematics service with automatic collision notification.
Upgrading to the Luxury Value Addition package adds a touchscreen navigation system with real-time weather and traffic, voice command system, a backup assist camera, a Bluetooth downloadable phonebook, and a premium 14-speaker 330-watt Mark Levinson surround sound audio system. An F-Sport package upgrades to a premium exhaust system with upgraded brakes and suspension.
Individually available options include 18-inch wheels, summer tires, an adaptive suspension, adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, heated and ventilated front seats, a steering wheel trimmed in wood and leather, and a power rear sunshade.
The GS350 offers an average amount of space for a midsize luxury sedan, with front seat passengers receiving 37.8 inches of head room and 43.5 inches of leg room and rear passengers getting 37 inches of head room and 36.4 inches of leg room. Cargo capacity is 15.2 cubic feet.
Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 19/27 mpg city/highway for rear-wheel drive versions.
The first Lexus GS350 to hit the market for the 2007 model year was similar in appearance to the GS300 it replaced. The most significant difference between the two models was the new GS sedan's larger 3.5-liter V-6 engine.
In 2008, Lexus gave the GS350 a mild facelift with a revised grille, restyled front end, new side mirrors with integrated turn signals, remodeled gauges, and an aluminum-trimmed center stack. No changes were made to the GS350 in 2009.
Another minor restyling in 2010 updated the GS350 with more leather and wood trim and a number of new technology features, including iPod/USB connectivity, a Safety Connect emergency telematics system, satellite radio availability, and streaming Bluetooth audio. The navigation system option was updated with voice recognition software and real-time traffic and weather information. Few notable changes occurred in 2011.

By 2014, it was time to spruce the car up a little and if you're looking for this premium hatch on the used market, it could be worth stretching to one of these facelifted models as handling, trim and styling were all improved as part of the package of changes.

text: Jonah Kessel '06 contributes to Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Series News Home 04.16.13 By: Mark Tarnacki A New York Times reporting team that includes Saint Michael's journalism graduate Jonah Kessel '06 has won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism. Jonah, son of Saint Michael's economics Professor Herb Kessel, was home from China in Vermont visiting his family for a week and just had finished speaking with Saint Michael's College journalism students about his work at the invitation of his former Professors David Mindich and Jerry Swope when he got the news. Pulitzer judges made the award to "The New York Times Staff for its penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers." Jonah has been a freelance videographer, photographer and reporter in China since 2009 and has been doing regular contracted work for the Times. His credit for videography appears on several of the 10 pieces from that technology investigation submitted to the Pulitzer Board in the Explanatory Journalism category. "It's not every day (or even every decade) that a former student is part of a Pulitzer-Prize winning team. A huge congratulations to Jonah Kessel for his reporting on China," said Mindich, professor of media studies, journalism & digital arts, whose class Kessel was visiting on Monday. "Jonah certainly deserved this recognition on the basis of his excellent journalism, but the fact that he won it on a day that he was giving his time and expertise to his alma mater speaks to his quality as a person too." "It's a bit surreal to be honest," Kessel said Tuesday about the Pulitzer news. "I'm sort of taking it in as it comes." He said a Times editor explained to him that the citation lists only the writers, which he found "a bit disappointing." "But in an email to me, this editor basically told me 'none of the video team gets mentioned in the citation due to their arcane rules, but you should be proud,'" Kessel said. He added that his work also got a nice specific mention behind the scenes from the judges according to that Times editor. Besides being the one person legally licensed by China to do video for the Times in that country, Kessel carries an employee ID from the paper and they sponsor his visa. However, as a freelancer he also can and does shoot commercial video, documentaries, TV ads and other work. Directly after Saint Michael's Kessel did photography briefly for the Burlington Free Press, then was a newspaper staff photographer in the U.S. western states, including in Lake Tahoe, for a few years. From there he did a stint on a grant as an adviser in Algeria, redesigning newspapers, before receiving an unsolicited offer from the Chinese government to help redesign China Daily, the largest English-language newspaper in China. Kessel says a model of video camera that has the look and feel of the still camera he always uses professionally changed his professional focus to video about two years ago while revolutionizing the news photography business, and now he has the luxury of turning away work, "bouncing between China and Burma - and I'm on call with the North Korea thing. I'm supposed to be ready to jump over there." Also nominated as finalists in the Pulitzer Explanatory Journalism category this year were: Dan Egan of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for his exhaustive examination of the struggle to keep Asian carp and other invasive species from reaching the Great Lakes and ultimately all of the nation's inland waters, a story enhanced by animated graphics; and Tony Bartelme of The Post and Courier, Charleston, SC, for his stories that helped readers understand the complex factors driving up their insurance bills.

prominent place in the marketing arsenal. Specific findings include:
-- Online video is the top marketing priority for 2010, edging out both
email and search marketing
-- Companies are experimenting across a wide range of video marketing:
57% have created branded video; 40% have used video for product or service
demos, and 37% for customer or employee testimonials
-- Branded content is the preferred online video type with the highest
use among all video formats, the highest overall satisfaction levels and
the highest likelihood of future use

like YouTube (54.7%), and viral content (48%)
-- Professionally produced content was overwhelmingly favored over user
-- 83.5% of respondents are already using online video in their marketing
efforts in one form or another

Asian Efficiency needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Asian Efficiency
We are a new business in the time management, personal and organizational productivity industry. It is run by two young Asian entrepreneurs who love doing things the most cost efficient way and advice other people how to save time, getting more things done, and getting people organized.
We are big Apple proponents and love gadget technology.
Our target audience is anyone who is interested in getting more organized in their life and people who wants to improve their own productivity. These people tend to be interested in self-help material, regardless of gender and age.
By freeing up time, you have more opportunity to do things you love to do. Plus you can save and make more money.
Buzz words for Asian Efficiency are:
-Getting things done
-Time management
-Life hacking
The only color we have decided is that the background color is white. The logo will also be used on business cards, Word documents and Powerpoint presentations, all with white backgrounds. Otherwise, feel free to use any colors as long it looks good on a white background.
Limit the "Asian" theme to it. We want it to have a modern / web 2.0 look.
The text can be "Asian Efficiency" or "AE". Either one will have to be there. However, the logo does not have to be text only, it can have a symbol too (preference).
Additional ideas but not required:
-A clock in the logo
-Some subtle form of money in the logo (can be the color green, gold color, silver, etc)

|"Getting old ain't for pussies, verily."
Yes, parishioners, today is the birthday of His Flatulence, The Duke of DVD!
As is our custom on this most blessed and cursed of all calendar days, let us take a moment to review some of the lore and legend surrounding everyone's favorite aristocrat:
- In addition to his expertise in all things related to Madness in Cinema, the Duke is also an accomplished (some might say "cunning") linguist, being fluent in Cantonese, Hindi, Creole, and Sasquatchian.
- In 1935, up-and-coming Burlesque star-turned-actress Fifi "Bang Bang" La Desh penned a series of tell-all articles about the Duke, drawn from her experience giving command performances at his chalet in Cunter, Switzerland. Among the startling revelations in La Desh's memoirs, readers learned that after a particularly intense bout of drinking, the Duke once expelled three cysts in the shape of an Eye of Horus, a Pentacle, and Teddy Roosevelt's moustache. It was later learned that the latter was in fact the actual moustache of the ex-president, though heaven knows how it got there.
- The Duke has one of the greatest collections of false limbs ever assembled. His prize exhibit is the false arm of Admiral Horatio Nelson, which he employs to open stubborn jars and retrieve hard-to-reach items from high shelves. He also owns the peg leg of privateer François le Clerc, which he habitually puts to more unspeakable uses.
- On his last trip to the Amazon, the Duke and his party discovered a hitherto unknown species of beetle, Ducalias Dvdius Vulgaris, which as a defense mechanism excretes a pheromone that causes uncontrollable orgasms in its attacker. Shortly thereafter, the Duke single-handedly hunted the bug to extinction.
- After receiving a pre-festival tasting pass to the 1979 Munich Oktoberfest, the Duke consumed every vat of ale earmarked for the celebration. As a result, a Novemberfest was held that year, the only such festival in the city's history. The Duke has since been banned from attending, but still sneaks in occasionally in the costume of a Gypsy prostitute.
- The above is also how the Duke covers his airfare and lodging expenses for the trip.
|"I find his eminence the Duke...disarming!"
"Also, a right cad. *sob!*"
- The Duke is the 3-time world champion in the Vertical Luge, and the first to be inducted in that sport's hall of fame, by virtue of his being the only person to compete in a VLA meet and survive.
- Among his many hobbies, the Duke enjoys Underwater Sculptural BB-stacking, and being tossed by dwarfs.
- The Duke's middle name is Eunice.
|Don't Hate Him Because He's Beautiful

CORNWALL — Christine Hadsel and Suki Fredericks picked up what looked like a ratty, rolled-up drop-cloth and placed it on an expansive table in the Cornwall town office conference room late last week.
But as they gently unfurled the fabric, it became clear that this was not a piece of throwaway fabric.
Each turn of the roll revealed more real estate of a beautifully painted, late-summer lake scene, replete with lush trees surrounding an azure waterway with rolling hills in the background.
MIDDLEBURY — The message was clear at the Vermont Environmental Consortium's annual expo at Middlebury College: More green training is necessary for Vermont to have a truly green economy.
"Vermont definitely has the opportunity to keep more jobs and more money in the state," said Melissa Levy, of St. Albans-based Yellowwood Associates.
MIDDLEBURY — One in 12 households in Vermont could not afford to put food on the table between 2006 and 2008, Joel Berg told a small group of Middlebury College students last Friday.
Berg kicked off Middlebury College's fall symposium, "American Poverty in Context" at the end of last week in a lunchtime discussion session at the college by addressing an issue that, for Vermonters, hit close to home.

BRISTOL — Around 80 Bristol Elementary School third- and fourth-grade students hiked three miles and raised around $600 to support the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger's 14th annual Hike for Hunger last Thursday.
The students began their hour-and-a-half hike downtown and walked up to Mount Abraham Union High School and back through the neighborhoods to the school, accompanied by their teachers and several parents.
"We went right through town," third-grade teacher David Bouchard said. "We got a really good response."
SWANTON — At Missisquoi on Saturday, the Middlebury Union High School girls' and boys' cross-country teams breezed to wins at the Metro Conference small-school championships, at which also individual runners from Mount Abraham and Vergennes fared well.
The top four Tiger girls ran 1-2-3-5 in the small-school standings to secure the win, and junior Emily Anderson was the small-school champion in 19:49.10.
Their point totals were merged with the large schools for scoring purposes, and the MUHS girls tallied 141, 100 points better than second-place BFA-Fairfax.
HANCOCK — Hancock, Ripton and East Middlebury residents are breathing easier in wake of the capture, at the Middlebury Snow Bowl, of a man whom authorities have termed a "strong suspect" in the recent murder of Kathleen Smith, 50, of Burlington.
Residents along Route 125 had been on high alert following the discovery of Smith's abandoned car off Texas Falls Road in Hancock, just a few days before her body was discovered in her home on Burlington's Park Street on Oct. 18.
MIDDLEBURY — On Oct. 7 a group of important figures in Vermont's education system — including education commissioner Armando Vilaseca — gathered at the Middlebury Inn to discuss career and technical programs and the role that philanthropic organizations can play in these programs.
In attendance were representatives of charitable organizations and individual donors, legislators and career and technical program administrators, all there to take a look at the current state of vocational education and what philanthropic institutions can do to help those programs expand their offerings.
LINCOLN — Once again, the Chase Purinton Monument on Quaker Street in Lincoln looks picture-perfect for all of its leaf-peeping admirers.
The foundation of the 107-year-old monument was crumbling and in need of repair earlier this year when Pete Mikkelsen, the owner of the former Chase Purinton farmstead, decided it was time to take action. The two old millstones inscribed with words commemorating the first Lincoln town meeting held on the spot, were lifted and a new concrete base was created for them.

Volunteers are needed by The Dale Association to serve as long-term care ombudsmen, working as advocates for residents at 15 nursing homes in Niagara County, including Northgate and Elderwood at Crestwood in Wheatfield.
Thorough training will be offered Oct. 1-4. Ongoing support and mentoring is provided. Volunteers work a minimum of four hours per week.
David Fay, a recently retired union carpenter, was looking to give something back to his community when he learned about the ombudsman program.
As an ombudsman volunteer, Fay feels like an arbitrator, helping to resolve issues and problems for residents in a local facility.
"Even though the administration and staff are wonderful to work with, there are still issues that arise and I'm here each week to help them. When you get to know the people for yourself, you want to help even more," he said.
Shirley Walk, an ombudsman volunteer since 2006, was looking for a volunteer opportunity where she would be in the field working one-on-one with people. Six years later, she is still making a big difference in peoples' lives as an ombudsman.
"The job is as simple as listening with both ears, observing what's going on, and then following up on any issues that arise. I recently went to bat for four residents who were having privacy issues. The administration installed privacy curtains and the four are very pleased," she said. "We're very fortunate to have such caring staff at the facility where I volunteer. When I ask for things on behalf of the residents, I'm happy to say I've been very successful."
To inquire about becoming an ombudsman volunteer, call Nancy Smith, program coordinator, at 716-433-3344, ext. 1.

GM Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins closed the door this morning on the Mets' career of Oliver Perez, arguably one of the most scored players in franchise history when they released the frustratingly erratic pitcher known as Coin Flip.
There were no 50-50 odds on Perez when spring training began and giving up back-to-back homers in a relief outing over the weekend was the final image of him in a Mets' uniform.
Perez is now free to pass GO, collect $12 million and sign with any team for the major league minimum. For those counting at home, that would be an additional $414,500.
I don't begrudge Perez the money like some. Afterall, nobody put a gun to then GM Omar MInaya and forced him to offer Perez that contract. What was Perez supposed to do, turn it down?
What annoys me most about Perez is not that he lost his fastball, or never had command. That happens. It's part of baseball. What was most upsetting about the Perez era was how things were handled last season. Perez said frequently this spring he is trying to get better every time he pitches. It's the proper thing to say, but rings hollow after last summer.
When it became clear he was losing it, Perez refused to take the minor league assignment that could have helped his mechanics. There was no guarantee, but he had a better chance working things out in the minors than by languishing in the bullpen by himself as the Mets played with a 24-man roster.
Just because it was Perez's contractual right to refuse the assignment, it doesn't make it the right thing to do. And, it certainly contradicted Perez's statements on self-improvement.
The Perez saga paralyzed a reeling team and he became a symbol of all that was wrong and subsequently a pariah in the clubhouse. Nobody denied Perez put the effort in, but there was groaning about playing short and he deprived another player a chance to play. As the losses mounted, it was hard to find supporters in the clubhouse, especially after the bullpen coughed up another game.
Perez made Jerry Manuel's job more difficult, and with the manager knowing he'd be fired, his parting gift to the Mets – and the fans who booed him – was to give them one last glimpse of the erratic left-hander who put himself ahead of the team. After barely pitching in the second half, there was little doubt he would give it up one more time, and it was symbolically fitting Perez would lose the final game of a lost season.
After Luis Castillo was given his release – he has since been signed by Philadelphia – Alderson said the decision in part was made by the negativity that swirled around him and his perception by Mets fans. The perception of Perez is far worse because the sum is greater and that he represents wasted potential and the disaster that has been the last three seasons.

Here is my usecase:
I have a Tag object
When I first save a Tag object:
I need to get the id of the row I've just inserted in the tag table, so I can set the id property in my python object. At this point, if I was using an ORM like Hibernate in Java or SqlAlchemy in Python, the object would be considered "persistent" and the id would have been set by the ORM. However, I only need the id and set the property myself. This id is available in the cursor used to execute the INSERT statement and it's called lastrowid. But the only way to access that cursor was to make a small change in the execute() method from springpython.database.core.py.
Basically, the method now returns a tuple which contains both row_count and lastrowid.
Maybe there is better way to do what I've just done. What are your thoughts?
Here is my usecase:
I have a Tag object
class Tag(object): def __init__(self, name = "New tag"): self.name = name self.id = 0
self.dt.execute('INSERT INTO tag(name) VALUES(%s)', (tag.name,))
Basically, the method now returns a tuple which contains both row_count and lastrowid.
def execute(self, sql_statement, args = None): """Issue a single SQL execute, typically a DDL statement.""" sql_statement = self.connection_factory.convert_sql_binding(sql_statement) cursor = self.__db.cursor() error = None rows_affected = 0 last_row_id = 0 try: try: if args: cursor.execute(sql_statement, args) rows_affected = cursor.rowcount last_row_id = cursor.lastrowid else: cursor.execute(sql_statement) rows_affected = cursor.rowcount last_row_id = cursor.lastrowid except Exception, e: self.logger.debug("execute.execute: Trapped %s while trying to execute '%s'" % (e, sql_statement)) error = e finally: try: cursor.close() except Exception, e: self.logger.debug("execute.close: Trapped %s, and throwing away." % e) if error: raise DataAccessException(error) return (rows_affected, last_row_id)

I've been captivated by Ken Burns' The War this week and it struck me how awesome America used to be.
The prevailing attitude of the ladies and gentlemen featured in Burns' film, and by proxy all Americans of that era, was that if we had to fight a war, we had better do it right. Clearly and with little dissent, we had to fight that war, and without fail, Americans rallied together to do it really damn well.
People from every corner of the nation selflessly pooled their resources for the great cause of World War II, and I'm not sure about this one, but I don't think President Roosevelt ever once asked the country to sacrifice by going to the mall. And I'm pretty sure he didn't outsource the construction of tanks, Flying Fortresses, Hellcats and Thunderbolts to Mexico and China. That's a hell of a thing by today's standards, isn't it?
We've fallen so far from what we used to be, even as recently as thirty years ago when the comparatively liberal president Richard Nixon opened a dialogue with Red China, whilst Mao supplied arms to North Vietnam. One day long ago, it was okay to wish for an end to a war, without being accused of hating the soldiers who were fighting it. It was once a given that socialized public education, police, fire departments, roads, parks, national defense and the constitutionally mandated General Welfare & Domestic Tranquility were simply a part of the American way of life and would always be there.
And when our nation had to go to war, we would be there for her.
Conversely, when we crumble to the pressure of our reactionary and authoritarian elements, we get Japanese internment camps, the rise of the military industrial complex, and men turned away from service due to the color of their skin. Some of our greatest failures have been conceived when our irrationality, fear and lust for power overrule our traditional American ideals -- even during our finest hours as a nation.
And now, 50 years later, in our lives and times, we get President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney.
The Bush Years have been a monumental, cataclysmic failure on most fronts due to its inattention to what has, historically, made American great. The president and his thinning ranks of fawn-eyed Hannities don't understand this yet. They don't understand it mostly because they're too ignorant -- blinded by sloganeering -- to the very basic reality that Bush Republican style government, in practice, is about as successful and practical as a paper condom. It always has been.
Nowhere is this more apparent than when they compare the Bush Wars to World War II. It's a desperate notion, one that seeks to conflate our current president with greatness he doesn't deserve and an historical legacy he will never achieve. It's also meant to inflate our current "enemies" to Hitler status, and thus proving the case for war.
The comparison is pure horseshit. (Say nothing of the fact that it elevates Bin Laden or the late Saddam or the present Ahmadinejad to a level of villainy they also don't deserve. It's like saying a doofus villain like Solomon Grundy is the next Lex Luthor. I'm sure they appreciate being granted superpowers enough to take over the world, though.)
If it's so fucking important to stay in Iraq, and if it's so fucking important to invade Iran -- and if it's so fucking important to wiretap your phones and read your mail, and to shit all over your constitutional rights and the Geneva Conventions -- and all of it is part of a larger World War II style conflict, then why aren't the Bushies taking their metaphors seriously by demanding the sacrifices of World War II?
Did President Roosevelt cut taxes or ask veterans to pay higher deductibles? Did President Roosevelt outsource the army by hiring no-bid corporate mercenaries?
From the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the surrender of Japan, automobile manufacturers stopped making cars in lieu of manufacturing hardware for the war effort. Can you imagine, among all of the scrap metal drives -- the rationing of everything from gasoline to frying pan fat -- if Roosevelt had allowed SUV drivers to receive tax breaks in which sheer vehicular tonnage was rewarded at the peril of even one American G.I.?
If the quintessential symbol of the American character in World War II was Rosie The Riveter, the poster for the Bush Wars has to be that of an SUV driver receiving a tax break while sucking down enough Saudi oil to drive to a mall where he's expected to buy lead-tainted crapola manufactured overseas -- a yellow ribbon hypocrite magnet dangling just above his exhaust pipe and several inches from a fading W04 sticker. The caption: "The Bush Patriot Says: 'I'm On It, Mr. President!'"
The Bushies can't possibly take their own World War II metaphor seriously because they don't truly believe in the comparison.
They know, as you and I do, that these wars have little to do with stopping a new Hitler. If we peel back the layers -- if you look at what truly drives little childish men like Hannity and Cheney and Kristol, you'll find that it has little to do with liberating nations from an occupying Nazi force and ending a brutal holocaust. Beneath the pasty white surface of a typical Bush Republican you'll find greed, fear, ignorance, anger and a basic lack of understanding of America's place on the world stage. They're traits that drive nations into unnecessary wars. They're also traits that often breed cowardice.
To wit... Those of you demanding a war in Iran, I have one question for you. And no, I'm not going to employ the tired military service argument, but I must ask you this: what is the very minimum you're doing right now to prepare for your war? Are you refusing to support further tax cuts or pumping less "Islamofascist" oil into your SUV tank?
You're probably not doing anything because all you're expected to do is to say that you support the troops (what does that mean in practice?). And as long as you don't oppose the president as he dismantles the Constitution in favor of a corporate police state, then you've contributed to your president's war effort. That's the Bush Republican way. Oh, and to shop. You have go to Disneyland and buy shit you don't need at the mall (what the fuck is a Webkinz?).
How will the Ken Burns of the future portray the Bush Wars? I imagine that a large part of a future documentary about these times will detail what Rick Perlstein sublimely referred to this week as the destruction of America's character.
Whoever the future Ken Burns might be (hopefully, it'll be Ken Burns), he or she will have to dig deep into the destruction of our national character and detail the stories of torture and secret detention facilities; outsourced corporate thugs murdering foreign civilians; government scare tactics without substance -- it'll be a documentary in part about your non-military friends and family who supported this president's war but who sacrificed nothing in its execution.
So here we are in late 2007. The president believes that history will vindicate his efforts to destroy the American character and to bring about the ascendancy of neo-conservatism. After all, he fancies himself the new McKinley -- or is it George Washington? Is he Lincoln this week or Truman? Is he still fighting the Vietnam War or is it World War II? Korea or the Civil War? Goddamn him and his marble-mouthed horseshit. That's exactly why it has to be up to you and me to write the history -- the truth -- now. It won't be a proud endeavor because there has been little to be proud of, but we have to make sure that future Americans know exactly what happened in the Bush Years and in the Bush Wars.
The pendulum keeps swinging further to the right and seldom in our generation has it swung all the way back. When a president can look you in the eye and say he's going to veto healthcare for children, and his people are fine with that; and when the same sales pitch for Iraq is being employed for Iran -- and it's working, what else can you say about that fucking pendulum?

I've been neglecting this blog for a while, to be honest I just kind of forgot about it in the midst of not having time for it. However, I'm going to try to make some more time to keep this thing going, and hopefully play WoW a bit more than I have been.
Alright here we go.
Since my last post, I've already gotten pissed off at Dreamy becoming a tauren, she was fat and I was mad at her for letting herself go. I also just missed her being this dainty little thing who gets drunk and begins yelling things like "I DON'T GIVE A HOT PISS" in the middle of Org. As a tauren woman it's a little more intimidating, as a little bloodelf, it's just silly. ALSO, it was a lot harder to hit on undead guys, they don't seem to like burly tauren women. SO, she's a bloodelf again, and ontop of that I've turned her into a full-time healer. SO SEXY.
Our guild is also dying, which is shitty since we really want to raid and do all the new content. I miss all those people, but there are still the few of the die-hards in the core group still active and trying to keep the guild afloat. It just sucks that most nights or mornings I get online and end up like this.
Yeah that's pretty much the way it is. BUT, I'm excited about the new transmorg thing and the raid finder in a way. I'm thinking the raid finder will end up being a complete disaster 90% of the time. I am not a fan of pugging dungeons and now we're going to be pugging raids? The only thing that makes me want to do this is the fact that people in my guild pugging this are going to be trolling so hard, I just know it. Drunk on a saturday night, 4-5 of us pug a raid and with the new transmorg feature, I will show up like this:

R.C. Owens had an up-and-down career as a receiver for the San Francisco 49ers.
The ball went up, and Owens routinely came down with it.
Owens, whose leaping catches became his signature and introduced the term "alley oop" into the sports lexicon, died of kidney failure June 17 in Manteca, south of Stockton. He was 77.
"There were numerous games when he'd jump up and score the winning touchdown," recalled Bob St. Clair, a tackle and captain on 49ers teams in the 1950s. "The defensive backs would fall down in the end zone and pound the turf. They'd just get so mad at themselves that he was able to out-jump them all. We'd just...

She is reminded of a time just prior to meeting Xena and how her life suddenly changed. This is a Xena and Gabrielle "first time" story and takes place between Seasons 2 and 3. NC-17.
Under The Kenyan Sky: A Romance
Two PBS personalities are thrown together to work on a project in Kenya. Kate, a no-nonsense animal activist and conservationist meets Serena, a warm and sensitive professional chef. Can these two women find common ground on the Park Reserve? NC-17
What Perdicus Knew
It is a love story about Xena and Gabrielle, but also a story about Perdicus' unrequited love of Gabrielle and how he feels about the whole situation. It begins later that same morning Gabrielle leaves Poteidaia in search of Xena.

Summit Dental Systems
We are a dental equipment manufacturer that has been in the industry for 25 years. We are ready to jump to the next level by presenting ourselves as equals to the industry leaders, A-Dec, Pelton & Crane, Midmark, and Belmont.
SDS combines quality and affordability into its product line which includes hydraulic dental chairs, dental delivery systems, dental lights, dental stools, and other dental equipment.
The target audience for this Ad is dentists.
This Ad will be displayed on Dental Products Report (http://www.dentalproductsreport.com) January 2011 issue.
We will be launching two new products at a major industry tade show in Chicago next February, and this advertisement is meant to show a sneak peak into our new additions. The idea is to show the dentists one of our current packages (our top of the line Palm Beach) and also two of our new launch products that will be displayed at the show (Steam Sterilizer and LED dental light).
Must show the Palm Beach package prominently.
Autoclave (Steam Sterilizer) and LED dental light should be shown as sneak peaks into the new products "joining the SDS family".
Our number (1-800-275-3368) and website (http://www.summitdental.com) should show clearly (near the logo).
There should be room for a short tag line that says "Quality is Affordable". This tagline is subject to change, so ample space must be provided for a change.
Something like "Come visit us at booth # ____ at the 2011 Chicago Midwinter Meeting, where you can see for yourself!" must be placed on the ad.

The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for China sits structurally within the International Police Cooperation Department of MPS. The head of INTERPOL Beijing is an MPS vice minister.
INTERPOL Beijing has two sub bureaus, each with delegated regional authority in the following special administrative regions of China:
Serving as the national point of contact for all INTERPOL matters which relate to China, INTERPOL Beijing responsibilities include:
- Liaising and coordinating with INTERPOL partners across the world;
- Coordinating international crime investigation and legal assistance matters;
- Serving as the exclusive interface between Chinese police agencies, courts and domestic law enforcement departments and the INTERPOL community;

National focus
Chinese police forces have put a lot of energy into tackling traditional and non-traditional crime. By strengthening legislation, adopting comprehensive public order management policies and increasing law enforcement training, China intends to enhance its country's ability to prevent and fight crime more effectively, thus safeguarding social stability. Chinese authorities fully recognize the vital role INTERPOL plays in tackling international crime in all its forms, through the effective cooperation of police forces around the world.

In America, you are best known for being the Vicky in Woody Allen's ''Vicky Cristina Barcelona.'' Were you surprised that he cast you? Shocked! I quizzed him about it one day on set. I was like, ''What did you see in me that persuaded you to take this strange risk in giving me this really amazing part?'' He said, ''I don't know.'' [Laughs] Woody was incredibly vague about it, so who knows if he ever saw me onstage or anywhere else. It could have just been a whim. What was the audition like?

University of Nevada Reno Quick Search App
Araby Greene, Web Development Librarian, University of Nevada, Reno Libraries has created a Library-OPAC-Search-App named UNR Libraries Quick Search
The App allows the use to "Search the library catalog, articles in Academic Search Premier and Masterfile Premier, UNR Library webs, and Google Scholar or Google."
In addition, access is also provided to the libraries 'Ask Us' reference services, including digital reference services. A 'More search options ...' option links to a NPR Libraries page
that provides access to 'Search UNR Library Web Pages', 'Search the World Wide Web' using various Google search options (e.g., Google Scholar, images, 'Book Search', etc.), as well as to Scirus: For Scientific Information Only, SMEAL Search, lxquick, and Kartoo!.
TabsAcrossThe TopOfThe Page provide access to other library collections, resources, and services (e.g., 'Catalog' , 'Subjects' , 'Reserves' , 'Journals' , 'News' , 'eBooks' , 'Reference'), while a list on the Left Side offer links to several 'Special UNR Libraryy Searches' (e.g., 'Digital Collections', 'Geospatial Data' , 'Nevada State Publications' , etc.)
NB: Access to the Article Databases is Limited to the UNR Community.
Araby notes that the Hennepin County Library App Code inspired the creation of the UNR App!
Congrats, Araby!!!
