In the
DrupalCommerceEntityController::buildQuery() method:
if (isset($this->entityInfo['locking mode']) && $this->entityInfo['locking mode'] == 'pessimistic') {
// In pessimistic locking mode, we issue the load query with a FOR UPDATE
// clause. This will block all other load queries to the loaded objects
// but requires us to start a transaction.
if (empty($this->controllerTransaction)) {
$this->controllerTransaction = db_transaction();
// Store the ids of the entities in the lockedEntities array for later
// tracking, flipped for easier management via unset() below.
$this->lockedEntities += array_flip($ids);
This also happens when loading entities,
// Load any remaining entities from the database. This is the case if $ids
// is set to FALSE (so we load all entities), if there are any ids left to
// load, if loading a revision, or if $conditions was passed without $ids.
if ($ids === FALSE || $ids || $revision_id || ($conditions && !$passed_ids)) {
// Build the query.
$query = $this->buildQuery($ids, $conditions, $revision_id);
$queried_entities = $query
Which then directly returns the entities:
return $entities;
The transaction is never commited because of this:
Each time someone loads an entity via a commerce controller, the full page rendering will happen in one unique giant database transaction, with a FOR UPDATE row locking! This may explain some slowness of Commerce.
I experienced it doing heavy import jobs, the first load attempt using any commerce controller will put a transaction right at the beginning and never be released (commit). I was injecting 3000+ line items into 300+ orders, in my case, this doesn't slow things that much because I currently have only one parallel thread on my development box, the horrible side effect is that I cannot watch what's happening for debug purposes while injecting my stuff: I need to be able wether or not I need a transaction, and if I need one, I will place it in my business code myself.
Comment #4pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
I was surprised to find a "SELECT ... FOR UPDATE" clause when all I wanted to do was view an order (at admin/commerce/orders/%commerce_order).
Because I was running an import on commerce orders at the same time, I got the "lock wait timeout exceeded" error.
But it will slow down a lot of other actions too - anything that loads Commerce entities.
Comment #5pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
The origin of this bug is #1243306: Implement pessimistic entity locking and enable it for orders.
Basically we need a way to turn OFF "pessimistic locking" when it is not needed. Presumably locking is never needed in read-only situations.
Comment #6pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
Not sure if this is the right strategy, but with the attached patch, developers could do something like:
* Load Commerce orders without locking.
* @param array $order_ids
* An array of Commerce order IDs.
* @return
* An array of order objects indexed by order_id.
function custom_quick_load_orders(array $order_ids) {
$controller = entity_get_controller('commerce_order');
return $controller->load($order_ids);

Comment #9pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
I agree. So this bug basically exists because back in 2011 Damien Tournoud asked this question:
Do we want to implement a clean way to load an order without enforcing the lock?
... and he received no response. The answer should have been: yes, we do.
My patch above is a workaround.

I believe this issue might be pertinent: #1514618: Developer documentation: Loading order entities without considering locking can cause problems
Comment #11pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
@rszrama. Thanks
So actually the patch seems unnecessary, and all we need to do in custom code is this:
* Load a Commerce order without locking.
function custom_quick_load_order(array $order_id) {
$order = commerce_order_load($order_id);
return $order;
Comment #12rszrama CreditAttribution: rszrama commented
|» Developer experience
Basically, but I wouldn't be opposed to adding a utility function to Commerce that does that if we can think up a name for it. It's come up a few times now, and adding such a function would be both an aid to developers and a natural place to add documentation.
Comment #13pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
Perhaps? Those functions could even mark the order entity object as read only (e.g. $order->read_only), and the controller could then prevent saving. With clear comments to show that those should only be used where you're certain that no writing is needed.
Comment #14pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
Perhaps you meant something like
function commerce_order_unlock_multiple(array $order_ids) {
(I notice that DrupalCommerceEntityController::resetCache() actually wants an array so #11 was wrong - corrrected)

OK, I'm not sure of the way forward here. Since this appears to be one of the main performance issues in a Commerce site of mine, bumping to major.
Comment #17pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
And just to be clear, I completely agree with #15. Entities should be explicitly loaded "for update" only when they need to be.
The Commerce Order UI menu paths
user/%user/orders/%commerce_order and
admin/commerce/orders/%commerce_order/view should definitely not use pessimistic locking.
Comment #18pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
Comment #19a.ross CreditAttribution: a.ross commented
Agree with #15. We're now running into the problem that our order list won't load at all because of this. Disabling the pessimistic locking feature solves it, and in fact makes the page lightning fast. I've had to limit the order page to just 2(!) items to sort of make it work for now. Looks like I'll have to disable pessimistic locking altogether until this issue is fixed.
Comment #20a.ross CreditAttribution: a.ross commented
Here is a patch that implements the
preventLocking() method for Views. There are probably more places that this needs to be fixed, but I believe Views is the single most important instance.
Comment #21a.ross CreditAttribution: a.ross commented

By the way, would it make sense to add an api function like
commerce_entity_load_readonly(), which does this? Or perhaps
commerce_entity_load() with an extra readonly parameter?
Comment #21.0a.ross CreditAttribution: a.ross commented
Fixing PHP enclosing tags
Comment #22shaisachs CreditAttribution: shaisachs commented
WRT #21 - it seems to me that the default behavior for commerce_entity_load and friends should be readonly, and that pessimistic locking during entity load should be an explicit declaration on the part of the developer - not the reverse. Given that _save and _delete already pessimistically lock, it seems counter-intuitive for _load to grab a pessimistic lock.
I believe that the lock held by commerce_order lock is a particularly serious problem, since commerce_order_load is invoked by menu routing for urls like checkout/$order_id/$page. If the checkout page in question takes a long time to load, the database server can crash as other incoming requests lock up while the locking page churns away. In conditions of high load, that is a very plausible and problematic scenario.
The enclosed patch addresses this issue, at the most local level which seems to make sense to me - i.e. during commerce_order load time - but I also think that a slightly broader patch, affecting say all commerce entities during load time, would make sense as well.
Comment #23pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented
I like the approach and patch in #22 (although personally I wouldn't bother with the method_exists() call)
Comment #24pjcdawkins CreditAttribution: pjcdawkins commented

For some reason the patch in #22 doesn't prevent locking (for me) when loading orders via Views.

I spoke to Damien and we agreed that we should have a way to load an order without locking, and we should use that for all views (admin / customer).

A new Quinnipiac poll of likely voters shows Democrat Terry McAuliffe leading Republican Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli 48 to 42 percent. Here are four takeaways:
Cuccinelli, as I predicted, has a gender-gap problem, trailing among women by 12 points while running even with men. He has tried to lure women voters by reminding them of his work against sexual assault and human trafficking, but those issues don't grip most Virginia women. His stance on abortion and his less-than-warm-and-fuzzy personality pose the greatest barrier.
Cuccinelli's unfavorable number is way up (41 percent view him negatively). In what has been a fairly negative campaign on both sides, Cuccinelli may have failed to first lay a positive foundation about himself.
Cuccinelli is the darling of the far right, and that is worrisome. A loss in a winnable purple state will hammer home the point that extreme ideologues don't play well outside strictly conservative enclaves.
The Star Scientific factor has finally emerged. Pollster Peter Brown explains: "It seems obvious that Gov. Bob McDonnell's political troubles are hurting fellow Republican Cuccinelli. Guilt by association may not be fair, but it sure is politically powerful. Trust matters and at this point neither man is doing all that well in that category." We've suggested that Cuccinelli needs to distance himself dramatically and definitively from McDonnell.
There is plenty of time until the election, and many voters have yet to focus on the race. That said, Cuccinelli has his work cut out for him.

After keeping mum during the Democratic primary, Bill and Hillary Clinton are signaling they are rooting for Bill de Blasio to be the next mayor of New York City.
The former president and former secretary of State gave de Blasio their blessing in a statement issued by their respective spokesmen, Matt McKenna and Nick Merrill.
"Bill de Blasio has been a friend to both President Clinton and Secretary Clinton for many years," the statement says. "They were proud to see him run a thoughtful, creative campaign about the issues, and they are behind him as he moves on to the general election as the Democratic nominee."
The Clintons stayed out of the primary because they had ties to many of the mayoral candidates. The most notable: former congressman Anthony Weiner, who came in fifth in the Democratic primary, is married to Huma Abedin, a longtime Hillary Rodham Clinton aide.
De Blasio, the city's public advocate, managed Hillary Clinton's successful U.S. Senate campaign in 2000. Before that, de Blasio served in the Clinton administration as a regional director for the U.S. housing department.
It's been a busy few days for de Blasio as he unites Democrats after a tumultuous primary. De Blasio's former rivals — William Thompson and Christine Quinn — endorsed him this week.
De Blasio faces Republican Joe Lhota in November. He's leading Lhota, 65% to 22%, in a poll released Tuesday by NBC 4 New York, the Wall Street Journal and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

THE first practice assessment for the Continuous Assessment Component (CAC) Creative Writing took place yesterday.
And, according to the Ministry of Education, it was a success.
However, president of the� National Primary Schools Principals' Association (NAPSPA) Lynsley Doodhai said he was not pleased that the primary school pupils sat the test,�since many teachers were unaware that it was going to take place yesterday.
A press release from the Education Ministry stated that 95 per cent of assessment packages were collected and distributed for the test.
Special consideration will be� given to schools unable to collect packages. Six schools in the St Patrick Education District were unable to collect their packages due to a protest by residents who blocked the road in the area, the release stated.
Doodhai said some principals said they were not going to the Ministry of Education district offices to pick up the packages, but were told that supervisors would deliver them to the school.
He said� the class teacher was the one to make the decision to give the children the test since principals have adopted a "hands off" approach to the CAC.
On Sunday, Doodhai stated that the association received numerous complaints from principals,� who were told late Saturday evening to collect the packages for the test that they knew nothing about.
He said the only reason why some principals collected their packages was because "they were threatened and intimidated by some school supervisors".
According to a statement from NAPSPA, the marks from practice assessments will not contribute to the pupil's Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) score.
Twenty per cent of the SEA mark will be taken from assignments completed in the classroom and from a final assessment mark. The final assessment will take place on March 14, 2013.
The other practice assessment will take place on January 31, 2013.
On Monday, several principals walked out of a meeting with Education Ministry officials at Rudranath Capildeo Learning Resource Centre because "they felt their intelligence was insulted", Doodhai said.
"The Minister has refused to meet with us and the only thing we gather from that is that he cannot answer to the concerns he has received. He intends to implement CAC by decree and not consensus."
Doodhai said there still needs to be a lot of clarification about the CAC.
This month, training is expected to continue for all those involved.
Sixty-five CAC monitors, who were trained by the Caribbean Examin-ations Council (CXC), have been assigned to each educational district on a proportional basis.
An additional 56 CAC monitors�are expected to be trained next week, along with 1000 on-the-job-trainees (OJTs).

Wed Jan 7th: Cotton Road Movie, following the commodity of cotton, screening 6-9pm
What does a rural town in South Carolina have to do with China? Americans consume nearly twenty billion new items of clothing each year, and at least one billion of them are made in China. Cotton Road uncovers the transnational movement of cotton and tells the stories of worker's lives in a conventional cotton supply chain. From rural farms in South Carolina to factory cities in China, we span the globe to encounter the industrial processes behind our rapacious consumption of cheap clothing and textile products. Are we connected to one another through the things we consume? Cotton Road explores a contemporary landscape of globalized labor through human stories and provides an opportunity to reflect on the ways our consumption impacts others and drives a global economy.
Cotton Road director Laura Kissel will come up from her home in South Carolina to screen the movie, engage in a post-film Q&A as well as host a fun post-holiday clothing swap. Bring 5-10 of your best duds to trade with others and help make a dent in the textile waste stream by re-using! All leftover clothing will be donated to Wearable Collections,
Visit Cotton Road Movie Website:
Date: January 7
Time: 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Venue: Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator
630 Flushing Ave, 7th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11206
Free! $10 suggested donation at door. RSVP required.

he old adage, "Time flies when you're having fun" certainly is true. It is hard to believe that 2011 marks Beachcomber's 65th anniversary. We are very proud of our long successful history in this industry and look forward to a great future with you, our customer.
In 1946, Benjamin Chernin, who had recently retired due to health reasons, bought a small sea shell business. His oldest son, Harry, attending University of Florida, came home to help his Dad with the business. The business started (with orange crates holding the files) as a very "hands-on" operation. The business was named Beachcombers Novelty Company.
Shortly thereafter, Ben's nephew, Dewey joined Beachcombers. Harry's brother, Chick, upon graduation from University of Florida, entered into the business. The "Chernin men" worked very hard. From cleaning the shells to driving the trucks, they did it all. One week they would embark on a sales trip up the East or West coast of Florida taking orders from the customers, and the next week delivering the orders to the customers. Ben began traveling further abroad to find less common shells to add to their extensive inventory of shells, jewelry findings, shell handicrafts and craft supplies. As the business continued to grow, gifts were added to the line of merchandise Beachcombers carried.
In 1970, the business had grown so large with a very diverse product mix, the shell and findings portion of the business was sold and we became The Beachcombers International Inc. The family members participating in Beachcombers grew with the addition of the next generation; Harry and Chick's children all joined the business. Today, Harry's daughters, Leslie, Nancy and Betsy are still involved with the operation of Beachcombers along with extended family. We are fortunate to have employees and salespersons who have been with us for many years. We are proud of the business Ben Chernin began 65 years ago, which has flourished and become one of the leaders in the gift and souvenir industry, and thankful for the customers and their families who we have been allowed to work with along the way.

Welcome to Author Janet Gilsdorf
I spent my childhood along the banks of the Red River of the North, whose murky water flows backwards—from little puddles in South Dakota up to Lake Winnipeg. It was both the land of the prairie wind, which roared across the plains with only a rare shelter belt or grain elevator to slow it down, and a place of raw, stark beauty and unsurpassed simplicity.
Growing up in North Dakota introduced me to an endless series of adventures. I pedaled my bike all over town and out into the countryside. My friend Mary and I organized neighborhood parades and plays, and, one summer afternoon, we tried to dig to China. During the long, dark winters we built snow forts and, on the coldest days, made paper clothes for our paper dolls, guided by the fashions in the Sears, Roebuck, and Co. catalogue.
My first love affair occurred in kindergarten. I fell desperately, passionately in love with school and wanted to live forever in Horace Mann Elementary, where Miss Brown's room would be my bedroom, I'd have my own private bathroom (the girls' lavatory), and the library and its books would be mine alone. Learning to read opened a world of new places and ideas to me. In fact, I've never really left school. After high school, college, and then medical school and medical training in Nebraska, California, and Minnesota, with stops in Alaska and an Indian reservation spanning the Idaho-Nevada border, I landed at the University of Michigan as a faculty member, where I continue to love school.
As a scientist, I pursue the secrets of nature and in my field of infectious diseases, those secrets are microscopic in size yet powerful in impact. As a pediatrician, I counsel my young patients and their families during their finest, as well as their worst possible, moments. As a teacher, I guide young physicians and scientists through their journeys toward successful lives and careers. As a literary writer, I integrate the scientific, medical, and personal truths I witness and make emotional sense of their meaning.
Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.
What inspired you to want to become a writer?
What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Which authors have influenced you most? How?
Favorite places to travel?
I love to travel to out of the way places where I can observe ordinary people living their seemingly ordinary, but really complex and interesting, lives. Such places have included Lake Five, Minnesota; Croatia; Tuscany in Italy; Ischia (off the coast of Naples, Italy); El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain; upper, coastal Maine, in the dome cars aboard the Amtrak Zephyr and Empire Builder.
Where do you write?
Favorite/most influential teacher
What is your favorite scene in the book? Which scene or characters were the most difficult for you to write and why?
How do you go about revising/editing?
Revising/editing is the most important, and time consuming, aspect of my writing. I generally start each chapter with a "skeleton" of actions and narratives relating to the characters and the situation, and then, later, fill in the details of each scene. I read out loud, as hearing the narrative gives a different kind of input than just reading it. I obsess over each word, making sure I choose those that best convey whatever I'm trying to say.
Ten Days
Although Anna and Jake Campbell interact with the world in very different ways, she as a cautious worrier and he as an optimistic realist, they successfully navigate the everyday problems that percolate through their marriage until the night their young son becomes ill. Anna has a bad cold and longs for the peace of evening and Jake, an orthopedic surgery resident, spends the night at the hospital, taking care of other people's sick wives and children. As a result of their irreversible, achingly regrettable inactions, Anna and Jake face losing their child.
Anna, who works part time as a linguist, is devoted to her two young children—Chris, who irritates her with his friskiness, and Eddie, the placid baby that everybody adores. With Eddie's illness, she is both crushed with guilt and embittered with blame toward Jake. As she withdraws into her distorted perceptions, she becomes increasingly unable to trust the medical system that is as familiar to her husband as a stormy spring evening.
Like many surgical residents, Jake has blindly embraced professional commitment to the point that he is wedded to his medical responsibilities and a relative stranger to the concerns of his family. Once Eddie's diagnosis becomes clear, Jake struggles to orient himself to his new position in the medical sphere – parent of a seriously ill baby – about which he has no understanding, no patience, and no control. In his misery, he reaches to a former lover for solace.
If she weren't the widow of a no-good guy who left her nothing but debts and two bossy adult daughters, Rose Marie wouldn't have to run a day care home to support herself. Rather, she and Beefeater, her wine-loving Jack Russell terrier, would lead leisurely lives loading the bird feeders and weeding the petunias. Two cases of meningitis among the children in her day care bring her nose to nose with the public health system and threaten to close down her business.
Illness, particularly that of a child, is heartbreakingly cruel but Anna, Jake, their healthy son Chris, and Rose Marie, like most people who face daunting life challenges, find their way.

Last night, Yahoo! ($YHOO) reported its first quarter of year over year net revenue growth since 2008.
The stock is trading 3% higher but I think this pop has more to do with the perception of Scott Thompson's performance on the call than the numbers or guidance.
There's nothing more important than the quality of the person running the company. Everything trickles down. This is especially true for Yahoo! a company that has been mismanaged since Terry Semel's Bar Mitzvah…
So with a new CEO, investors including myself, are looking to measure how Thompson is doing. Does he have a handle on the business? Does he command respect? Does he have a plan?
In my opinion, Thompson presented well.
He understands that major operational cuts need to be made. He has already begun reducing headcount and also stated that he would shutter 50 Yahoo! properties that were under performing or contributing little to the bottom line. Bigger picture, he promised to simplify the company organizationally and technologically.
He pledged to invigorate mobile – an area of obvious strategic importance in which Yahoo! has astonishingly dropped the ball and promised to lead in categories in which Yahoo! leads on the web (no small promise!).
In addition, he came off like he was in control. This is a huge part of leadership – looking like the leader. Its mandatory and with his prior success at PayPal, there is something to build on in terms of commanding the role of Yahoo's CEO.
In all, Thompson advanced rational change in a tone and conveyed initial command. This is a good start and to my mind is responsible for the majority of the gain in Yahoo's stock price so far today.
So a dose of clarity and leadership goes a long way for now, but this will not last long without concrete results and a follow through on commitments to improve the organization, mobile, search, engagement and the like.

Differential Geometry: Manifolds, Curves, and Surfaces (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
This book consists of two parts, different in form but similar in spirit. The first, which comprises chapters 0 through 9, is a revised and somewhat enlarged version of the 1972 book Geometrie Differentielle. The second part, chapters 10 and 11, is an attempt to remedy the notorious absence in the original book of any treatment of surfaces in three-space, an omission all the more unforgivable in that surfaces are some of the most common geometrical objects, not only in mathematics but in many branches of physics. Geometrie Differentielle was based on a course I taught in Paris in 1969- 70 and again in 1970-71. In designing this course I was decisively influ enced by a conversation with Serge Lang, and I let myself be guided by three general ideas. First, to avoid making the statement and proof of Stokes' formula the climax of the course and running out of time before any of its applications could be discussed. Second, to illustrate each new notion with non-trivial examples, as soon as possible after its introduc tion.

Skip to comments.Gun enthusiasts pack shows to buy assault weapons
Posted on 12/22/2012 4:20:11 PM PST by Olog-hai
Gun enthusiasts thronged to shows around the country on Saturday to buy assault weapons they fear will soon be outlawed after a massacre of school children in Connecticut prompted calls for tighter controls on firearms.
Reuters reporters went to gun shows in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Texas, and found long lines to get in the door, crowds around the dealer booths, a rush to buy assault weapons even at higher prices and some dealers selling out.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Well imagine that. Threaten supply and demand goes UP.
Sounds like capitalism to me.
If you're left with a pea shooter and your foe has a semi...just put your hands in the air and prepare to die.
I suppose more black markets means more jobs.......BUT THEY'RE ALL CRIMINALS!!!
The libs got confused when they heard about black rifles.
So they called them Asphalt weapons.
I think the term "assault weapons" to signify certain kinds of guns is a bit silly. A lot of things are "assault weapons"-—a baseball bat, a car, a tire iron, etc.
A gun has only one job and that is to shoot when it's trigger is pulled.
The person pulling the trigger may at times be the one doing the "assaulting" but that doesn't make the gun an "assault weapon".
Indeed. We fight for the rights of generations yet unborn.
And when it does come down to time for fighting, we'll be needing our bolties anyway.
Where were those $400 AR-15s a year ago that rooters speaks of?
"Gun enthusiasts pack shows to buy assault weapons"
The above propaganda speak many have been brainwashed through the tactic of "repitition speak."
Any firearm sold in the United States is a defense, hunting, or sport firearm.
Gun enthusiasts pack shows to buy Maximum Defense Firearms.
Agreed. They want us to agree to ban "assault weapons", and then they get to define "assault weapon". And they're outraged that we could possibly find anything wrong with that arrangement.
If someone were to beat a LIB asshat with Das Kapital would that then be an assault weapon?
Where the h*ll are the Reuters reporters about Fast and Furious?
30,000 men, women and children have been killed by high powered weapons, supplied by US LAW ENFORCEMENT to TERRORISTS and drug lords in Mexico.
I guess I could theoretically strangle somebody with my underwear, so that is an "assault weapon" as well.
A few guys were walking out with their new $1200 M&P-15s but if this show is any indicator, I think the sellers may have found what the market will bear. A lot of people like me were waling out empty handed.
Hey libtards. Don't know if you have considered one of the unintended consequences of banning semi autos, But I don't want to hear your whiny complaints when the criminal element switches over to FULL automatic. After all, If they are both illegal, why dick around with the semi autos?
How come nobody told me, they have assault weapons at gun shows now?

What is your favorite
Fragrance? Is it old or new? What does it smell like? Have you always loved this scent?
I absolutely love plumeria (franji pani) and have a bottle of cologne I bought in Hawaii. It always lifts my spirts.
Hands down - Laila it is a Norwegian fragrance of wildflowers. I like a flower scent.
Perfume makes me ill.
I used to like Beautiful and Fiji but I can't use any of that anymore.
Sounds like something I would love. Thanks for sharing I'll have to see if I can find it.
Quoting Maddie24:
Hands down - Laila it is a Norwegian fragrance of wildflowers. I like a flower scent.
I like anything light and airy and I can't stand spicy and heavy/musky. Those usually trigger my allergies BIG TIME. I also don't want to wear anything that smells like food-I am not what's for dessert and I do NOT need any help craving those awesome foods that I REALLY should stay away from. Love the water type scents. My current favorite is DKNY Be Delicious.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
Oscar de la Renta,
Used it forever & love it still :)
My very favorite is Estée Beautiful, years ago my wonderful uncle (God rest his soul) would give my mom and I perfume every Christmas, he pampered us ladies, my grandma, my mom, and me!! When I was really little I always got Tinkerbelle perfume gift sets, when I turned 14 and with my parents permission I got my first bottle of Chanel No 5. I felt like a princess, I still have the empty bottle! But he discovered Estée and so we would always get it every year, my hubby loves it and he's not a fragrance kinda guy, (allergies) but this doesn't bother him... I went through the Gloria Vanderbilt, Jontue, Enjoli, Loves Baby Soft phase in the 80's but Estée is the winner!!!

Wassub: Fun with Fusion
Usually when you hear talk of a fusion reaction, it is during a discussion about binding nuclei and the quest for a sustainable energy source. Well, the fusion reaction I had upon biting into one of Wassub's delicious fusion sandwiches was a reaction of a different kind. The party in my mouth kind. The "why is my co-worker quietly moaning into that sandwich" kind. Fusion is a relatively common theme running through the food truck community. This is a good thing. It allows for more variation and promotes culinary exploration.Read On

TTIC 24 – Carlisle
It's Tuesday and it's that time again! I'm sure everyone is sitting in front of the TV with the DVD remote in hand watching their favorite movie scenes over and over and over. Umm… I may be a baseball fan now. 😉 I know Chris and I watched it last night. It was his first time to see it… I'll have more on that later, it was quite entertaining.
Now on to this weeks challenge. This week our creativity challenge theme was chosen by Dani of Count Your Beautiful Blessings and she chose Carlisle as our theme. You can get the full details at TwilightTuesday.com.
As the leader of the Cullen family and the original vampire in their coven he has an interesting back story as shared when Bella goes to the Cullen's house for the first time. Having been a vampire for well over 300 years and to have never fed on a human ever is pretty amazing. Not to mention having enough control to handle being a medical doctor. Quite a complex character, I'd have to say. If you haven't read the character bio for Carlisle at the Twilight Lexicon you should, it's very interesting.
On to my challenge piece… I created a digital scrap piece based on the two main things I think of when I think of Carlisle – compassion and control. There is not another character in any of the books who shows more compassion and only Edward rivals his control.
(If you click the picture you can see the full size image.)
This quote from Edward pretty well sums up Carlisle as a character:
"Carlisle has always been the most humane, the most compassionate of us… I don't think you could find his equal throughout all of history." (Twilight, page 288).
If you are interested in playing along head over to TwilightTuesday.com, there are loads of things going on over there such as…

- Blog candy giveaway
- Monthly sketch challenge

Wimbledon 2012 Draw: Breaking Down Novak Djokovic's Journey to Possible RepeatJune 22, 2012
Tennis star Novak Djokovic took home his first Wimbledon championship in 2011 after a thrilling bout with Rafael Nadal, and he has his work cut out for him to get back to the final.
Arguably the world's most well-known tennis championship begins June 25. Djokovic isn't necessarily the clear-cut favorite. Recently coming off a loss at the French Open to Nadal, he's still got some left to prove.
The Wimbledon draw was released Friday, and the full bracket can be seen here.
Let's break down Djokovic's tournament draw and how he can possibly win his second straight Wimbledon title.
First Four Rounds
Djokovic drew former tennis star Juan Carlos Ferrero in his first-round matchup, but he should have no problem getting past Ferrero after he overpowers him in straight sets.
It should be smooth sailing for Djokovic early on, and he shouldn't be seriously tested. Although, it's possible that he could have problems with No. 15 seed Argentinian Juan Monaco.
If the bracket works out the way it should, Djokovic will face his first true test in No. 6 seed Czech star Tomas Berdych.
Berdych is only two years removed from losing in the 2010 Wimbledon final, so he'll be hungry to get back. He should prove to be Djokovic's biggest test, and the Serb could easily get bounced if he's not ready for battle.
In possibly the most intriguing storyline of the Wimbledon draw, Djokovic is set to face aging great Roger Federer.
Federer dominated the sport for many years, but he has recently had to give up his throne to Djokovic and the aforementioned Nadal.
The Swiss legend knows success at Wimbledon as well as anyone, having won the tournament six times. But if he's ousted in this tournament, it'll be his third straight year of being defeated at Wimbledon.
Djokovic and Nadal seem to be on a collision course in every major tennis tournament, and this one is no exception. It's no surprise that they drew the top two seeds in the tournament.
It's obvious who the world's two best tennis players are, and it'd be catastrophic to see either player eliminated before the final.
Nadal could be stopped by Andy Murray in the semifinals. But he shouldn't be any more of a test than usual, and Nadal should have smooth sailing to the final with most of the contenders on the other side of the bracket.

State police say the couple argued after arriving at a hunting camp in Tionesta during which Angert told police her husband pushed her to the floor and grabbed her neck. The woman says she grabbed a gun and that it fired, hitting her husband in the cheek as they struggled for the weapon.
Angert will be sentenced by a Forest County judge on June 21.

It's Not That Simple
When The Sky Has Reasons To Cry

Darwin Raymond (Ohio) and Jacob Newman (Colorado) combine their talents to create an original and immersive album of wintry and autumnal drones, textures, and subtle melodies built around the yearning guitar work of Raymond. Granular treatments and synth additions form evolving layers of textures and drifting atmospheres that place the listener firmly in the grip of our colder seasons as they slowly transition towards the hope of spring. It is a fascinating aural journey.

Unlike Darwin's previous albums that examined the overlap of memory and present experience, "Somewhere The Sun Shines Brightly" is an exploration solely of memory, or the warm glow of distant shores otherwise lost in the passing of time.
Music of Darwin Raymond is a hug to our heart aches with soft love. Then this music picks up our darkness. It seems to have ability to suggest our course. This album is very emotional and spiritual. He has a way to derive the strong love with reference his memory. There are not the hackneyed self-pity, nostalgia and melancholia there. And the sounds of hidden meaning of this album creates new time whenever hear it. Astounding sinking to the depth to this an memory that put an important point for the performance of his guitar is great achievement. His life was dedicated to the wayside pebble or one flower. And "Somewhere The Sun Shines Brightly" holds out a hand to all people. Like a matter of course.

Originally, I had no intention of making this album; my plan at the time was to work on something focusing on acoustic instrumentation. But sometimes songs demand to be heard on their own terms and this was one of those times. Often it's some of my favorite work, those songs that find me and that I am merely an interpreter for them.
It became apparent early on that this album was going to be about the ocean and, while I approached its construct much like I had with "Night", I focused on using chords and lines that, to me, had a feeling of the ocean and waves, beauty and sorrow.
In the end, this is a really special album for me and I hope you enjoy it.Download Now
For Night, I wanted to explore the overlap and interplay of the present with memory, specifically my memories of the last few years and the absence that now surrounds them. On each track my approach was to create a guitar line that expressed a feeling or memory to which I immediately layered additional tracks, additional reflections, that related back to the underlying track in an attempt to maintain the experience of the moment.

Rien/Rain is understandably dark overall, and its two pieces are best enjoyed using headphones in a quiet room. The dark and brooding nature of these pieces can be unsettling, but the brief fifteen minute duration ensures that it does not become maudlin. Instead, the sounds come across as a release, which somehow make it feel uplifting...Download Now
With/Out is my first attempt to put into music some of the feelings from the last couple of years I've otherwise been unable to express. It seemed important that most of the EP be performed solo, with the exception of the title track which includes a second, overdubbed guitar. "Blues for J. Lorraine" is the newest of the pieces, written in September 2010 and the track that convinced me to sit down and actually start recording again. "With/Out "is also recent, whereas "Lost Wave" dates from 2008/2009. This EP is dedicated to Jaime Raymond.Download Now

Angels Chair Dennis Kuhl Thursday said that the team has "not held negotiations about moving to a potential new ballpark in the City of Industry," shooting down media reports stating the team was looking to leave Anaheim, according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. TIMES. Majestic Reality, the owners of the proposed site of the new ballpark, "insisted Thursday that they have not given up on the NFL." Majestic Realty spokesperson Ben Porritt in a statement said, "Our commitment is on returning the NFL to Los Angeles and our focus is on building a football stadium." Industry City Manager Kevin Radecki said that he was "unaware of any conversations involving the Angels coming to his town." Radecki said that the "environmental impact report approved for the Industry site would not be viable for a ballpark" because the number of home games in a baseball season would "exceed the number of dates approved for major events at the Industry site." Shaikin noted Porritt would not say whether Majestic Chair & CEO Ed Roski had met with Angels Owner Arte Moreno, "if only to consider future options" (LATIMES.com, 9/20). The Angels' lease for Angel Stadium has an "opt-out clause in 2016," but if the team does not exercise it, an extension "running through the 2029 season kicks in" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 9/21).
The Predators have "put together a plan for their season-ticket holders in case the lockout extends into the season," according to Josh Cooper of the Nashville TENNESSEAN. If ticket holders "leave their accounts open, they will be credited for the games canceled and not rescheduled." They also will "receive a 10.25 percent bonus credit on an annualized basis on the canceled games." It can be used for "food and beverage, merchandise, select Bridgestone Arena events, single-game tickets, 2013 Stanley Cup playoff tickets and 2013-14 season-ticket renewal." Ticket holders otherwise can get refunds for canceled games, but "will be exempt from the bonus credit." The Predators also said that they have "no plans for staff layoffs during the lockout" (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 9/21). Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Tom Gulitti reports the Devils "emailed a letter to full season-ticket holders Thursday outlining the team's policy for refunds." The team is "offering season-ticket holders two options for the ticket money from the canceled games." The first is to "keep the money on account with the team and receive 2 percent interest on the total through the full season or until the season gets under way." The second option is to "request a refund." Season-ticket holders who have paid in full "will begin receiving their refunds Oct. 31" (Bergen RECORD, 9/21).
UNNEEDED INTERRUPTION: In Tampa, Damian Cristodero notes this lockout joins the '04-05 work stoppage as having "disrupted the Lightning's chances to make even more inroads, competitively and economically, into its nontraditional market." The '04-05 lockout "interrupted the Lightning's drive to defend the 2003-04 Stanley Cup title." The '12-13 season was "supposed to be marketing gold, with the celebration of Tampa Bay's 20th anniversary season." Still, Cristodero notes the team's community outreach "is at an all-time high under" Lightning CEO & Minority Owner Tod Leiweke and Majority Owner Jeff Vinik, who "has put $47 million of his money into upgrading the Tampa Bay Times Forum and its scoreboard, and in 2011 pledged $10 million to local charities over five years" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 9/21).
The AHL Syracuse Crunch to promote its affiliation with the Lightning have a new billboard near I-690 featuring model Carol Grow "lounging atop a hockey goal wearing a clingy Syracuse Crunch T-shirt, tight boy shorts and strappy, black stilettos," according to Lindsay Kramer of the Syracuse POST-STANDARD. To the left of Grow is "a palm tree and an inscription that reads, 'From Tampa, with love.'" The marketing pitch "was the idea" of Crunch Owner Howard Dolgon. He said, "When you do billboards, you want to do things that will attract attention to your brand. This is going to get people's attention." Grow will be "featured on other upcoming team billboards, as well as on a poster giveaway during the season." Dolgon said that he has "received a lot of feedback" about the billboard since it was unveiled Monday, and "none of it complained that the campaign is too revealing." He said, "It's a classy-looking picture. It draws attention to what we're doing, and in a first-class manner." The team has previously "featured returning players in ads" (SYRACUSE.com, 9/19).
LOCKOUT A MIXED BLESSING FOR AHL: ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun noted the NHL lockout is a "mixed blessing" for the AHL, but the league is "ready to step up if called upon this fall." The league has a "chance to own the stage while the big show is in a labor impasse," which has historically been a "boost to the AHL." However, the AHL and NHL are "solid partners." Attendance rose 6.5% from '03-04 to '04-05 for the AHL; both the "average and overall attendance figures are still the highest ever." A similar pattern "can be expected if an NHL lockout drags into the fall and winter." With "social media and new media platforms, who knows how much more the AHL can gain." But AHL President & CEO David Andrews said, "While we might see a short-term gain for a month or two months or whatever the period of time is, ultimately we all get floated by the success of the National Hockey League" (ESPN.com, 9/19).
The Cubs asked the creators of NBC's new show "Revolution" to remove a World Series notation from the Wrigley Field marquee that ran in promos for the show this spring and summer. Cubs VP/Communications & Community Affairs Julian Green said the team is "happy Wrigley Field was showcased" in the show, but the club "simply did not approve the artificial addition" to the marquee (Preston Bounds, THE DAILY). In Chicago, Rob Manker noted when clips of the new show debuted online, a "scene set in Chicago depicted some of the show's characters walking past an abandoned Wrigley Field in the year 2027." Beneath the stadium's "familiar red marquee was a sign declaring" the Cubs "2012 World Series champions." But when the show premiered Monday night, the Wrigley Field scene shown in the trailer "was different." Manker: "Gone was the declaration of the Cubs as champs, replaced by a plain red background beneath the marquee. Everything else about the post-apocalyptic scene remained the same -- still Wrigley Field, still abandoned, still no electricity" (CHICAGOTRIBUNE.com, 9/20).
GETTING THE UPGRADE: In Daytona Beach, Eileen Zaffiro-Kean reports the "nearly 100-year-old Jackie Robinson Ballpark will soon get $1.25 million worth of renovations," and the Single-A Florida State League Daytona Cubs will "start a 10-year lease at the city-owned park." Daytona Beach city commissioners this week "gave conditional approval to the new lease with the minor league baseball team's owner, saying a squabble with the county over parking around the ballpark needs to get resolved for the mayor to sign the deal." Part of the disagreement "has to do with the Cubs' idea to charge for parking for the first time, something that probably wouldn't happen until at least 2014." The city's "tentative thumbs-up comes in the same week the Chicago Cubs and Daytona Cubs renewed their player development contract for the 2013 and 2014 seasons." While that commitment is for just two years, Daytona Cubs GM Brady Ballard said that the time frame is "a typical length for that type of agreement and isn't indicative of the team's desire to stay in Daytona Beach" (Daytona Beach NEWS-JOURNAL, 9/21).

The Oakland Athletics acquired outfielder Chris Young and cash considerations from the Diamondbacks for middle infielder Cliff Pennington along with minor-league shortstop Yordy Cabrera to Arizona.
Arizona then turned around and traded Cabrera to the Miami Marlins in exchange for relief pitcher Heath Bell and cash considerations. I'm assuming Miami will be paying more than half of Bell's remaining contract.
Here's the breakdown:
- Miami Receives: Single-A shortstop Yordy Cabrera from Oakland and $13 million worth of salary relief.
- Arizona Receives: RP Heath Bell and $8 million of the $21 million remaining on his contract from Miami, and shortstop Cliff Pennington from Oakland.
- Oakland Receives: OF Chris Young and $500K from Arizona.
Bell, 35, was signed by the Marlins last offseason to a three-year, $27 million deal, but had a disastrous 2012 season. He blew eight saves and had a 5.09 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. Bell wore out his welcome after several contentious incidents with manager Ozzie Guillen this season.
Pennington, 28, played in 125 games for the A's. He had 93 appearances at shortstop but was shifted to second base in last August. A switch hitter, Pennington hit .215 last season, including .168 against left-handers, and had 28 RBIs.
Young, 29, played in only 101 games in 2012, batting .231 with 24 doubles, 14 home runs, 41 RBIs and eight stolen bases. He injured his right shoulder crashing into a wall while making a catch early this season and struggled at the plate after. A quadriceps injury in early September sent Young to the bench in favor of Eaton.
This could be a sign the A's might try to move center fielder Coco Crisp, who signed a $14 million, two-year contract in January that includes a $7.5 million club option for 2014 with a $1 million buyout.
There was some talk this season that the Mets may have had interest in Chris Young, but that's no longer a consideration now.
Looks like some teams are already on the move as the Hot Stove season gets underway before the World Series has even started.

Evening Regime ContinuedWednesday, April 27, 2011
I have been persevering with the evening routine I outlined a couple of days ago. My hair feels ten times better during the day time now. I wake up and undo the plaits, which give me a beautiful curl patten, shake through with my hand and go. Today the curls are nicely defined and my roots are soft and the ends shiny and smooth.
I tried to photograph this, not the best pic but gives you the general idea, I took this just after letting out the plaits.
I really recommend an evening regime, especially in the hot summer months when your hair will become dry quicker and mire prone to damage.
Let me know if you do something different.
Embrace Your Inner AfroDeity

Sikh body threatens legal action against Sotheby's
April 04, 2008 16:32 IST
Sotheby's --
The Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, the highest temporal body for Sikhs in the country, said on Friday its fact- finding committee was thoroughly investigating the issue and if it is established that they used Guru's name to get high bids, they would sue them.
"We have been following it consistently. They have said that the armour does not belong to Guru Saheban, but the chapter is not closed here.
"Our fact-finding committee, consisting of six scholars, is looking into the matter to know the truth behind the armour's origin," SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar told reporters.
SGPC general secretary Sukhdev Singh Bhor said the auction house tried to play with the sentiments of the Sikh community.
"They first tried to link it with Guru Gobind Singh and then contradicted it. If it is established that they did it to instigate Sikh community for higher bidding, we will sue them for using Guru's name and playing with sentiments of people," Bhor said.
The auction house had issued a statement, categorically stating that the armour does not belong to the 10th Sikh Guru.

JERUSALEM (Mar. 4)
Neither Premier Menachem Begin nor President Francois Mitterrand of France broke new ground in their joint press conference here today, following their appearances in the Knesset. But their replies to questions by Israeli and French correspondents disclosed very deep differences on the issues of a solution to the Palestinian question and autonomy on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Replying to questions about Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat, Mitterrand said that, like anybody else, he was entitled to visit France but that Mitterrand, as President of France, would not receive him for negotiations.
Asked about his reactions to Begin's views and approach to the question of the Palestinians, Mitterrand said he had known of Begin's approach before, but was interested to hear at close quarters the passion and enthusiasm with which Begin expounded his feeling.
"There are basic differences between us, and as there has been a public discussion I have answered in as frank a manner as possible, within the bounds of diplomacy," Mitterrand said.
Begin intervened to say that he had "not criticized French Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson (about his remarks during a recent visit to Arab countries) but merely quoted him. Begin said the question of a Palestinian state was not for anybody else to discuss as it was a matter of life and death for Israel.
Mitterrand noted that a dialogue with the Prime Minister was "always useful," indicating that he had not been fully convinced by Begin on either his approach to the Palestinian question or to autonomy. Begin remarked: "I tried whole-heartedly to convince him."
Other points covered by Mitterrand included a statement that France would not supply uranium to any country which might use it for military purposes. But details of any sales would be discussed on a technical level.
Mitterrand said he had not rejected the European Economic Community's 1980 Venice Declaration in its entirety but felt that more thought should have been paid originally to some of the points it covered. The declaration included a call for the PLO to be associated with the Mideast peace process.
Mitterrand said that a three-day visit was not enough to solve all problems, and that further discussions would be held. But he did not reply directly to a question whether he was inviting Begin to visit Paris.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Law enforcement officials, volunteers, businesses and individuals who participated in the search for Brigham Young University student Brooke Wilberger will be recognized at an appreciation ceremony on Oct. 11 at Oregon State University.
The event, "Brooke Wilberger: What She Means to our Community," will begin at 7 p.m. in LaSells Stewart Center (26th Street and Western Boulevard in Corvallis).
Program organizer Tom Sherry, director of the Corvallis Institute of Religion, has been working closely with the Wilberger family, which has expressed support for the event.
"With the encouragement of the Wilberger family, the Corvallis community will come together at the LaSells Stewart Center to reflect on the meaning of Brooke Wilberger to so many who gave their heart and soul, their time and other means of support to the Wilberger family," Sherry said. "The entire community is welcome to attend this special evening of appreciation."
The program includes appreciation for Benton County Search and Rescue, city, county and state police and the judicial system, as well as businesses and the volunteers who contributed to the effort to find Wilberger, who disappeared from an apartment complex near campus on May 24, 2004. Her body was recovered in late September.
The event is being coordinated by Sherry, who is working with Peggy Peirson of Benton County Search & Rescue, and Rev. John Dennis of the First Presbyterian Church, to create the program.

This course will teach you the value of hypnotic therapy and also introduce you to past life therapy. The scope of hypnotherapy is almost limitless and there are many reports of it successfully curing phobias, traumas, fears and anxieties. Past life therapy is an important branch of curative hypnosis, because the anxieties and fears that hold us back in our life are often a result of past life experiences that are unavailable to us since they are buried deep in our subconscious. You can learn how to work with your client to uncover these memories, and overcome the fears holding them back in their present life. Hypnosis can also be used to heal deeper psychological conditions such as irrational fears and addiction, as well be used to promote an enriched sense of well-being, and increase motivation to achieve goals we set ourselves. This course imparts a wonderful therapy for you to utilise in an endless number of ways.

I am new here and would like some advice from some of you experts on JavaScript. Let me explain what I am attempting to do (and cannot find an answer to):
I have a framed site. On the main page(s) is a header frame, a contents frame and a main frame (not to be confused with a mainframe such as an IBM 3030. LOL ).
In the main frame is an image map. When a user clicks a portion of that image map, I want the contents frame to show the menu for that category (this part I understand how to do), and the main frame to change to an information/advertising page for that category. At this point, I believe, I need an onClick routine to accomplish that , however, I am unsure as to how it should be written, and if there is a JavaScript routine that must be place within the HEAD Tags of the main frame.
I know that to some that this seems rather complicated; to others rather stupid ... but I would truly like some input and advice as to how (if possible) this may be accomplished.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Does the Power of Pink have a ghost of a chance at saving this Disney Channel movie?
Does the Power of Pink have a ghost of a chance at saving this Disney Channel movie?
If you like this you'll LOVE the film "Cold Hearts" where the Pink Ranger gives new meaning to the phrase "Getting a bite". Granted it's a proper film, so I doubt you'll review it. Still where getting a lot pink this week.
Sorry I jumped the Gun and wrote the above comments before finishing the review. I've got to stop doing that.
I would think that this is a movie that shouldn't be analyzed. It should just be taken for what it is: a goofy comedy, which fits a lot of Disney Channel Movies. If it's entertaining and isn't ripping something off directly like Angels in the Endzone, who cares if it makes sense.
Yeah, I'm just as guilty for checking out this movie when it aired for the ahem, *obvious* reason.
Wow, what a lazily written movie. What have I not seen before in this?
I have a suggestion Rowdy. Next time you review something as lame as this, don't call it TV Trash, call it a TV Twerp.
Or how about a TV Twig, I like the sound of that.
i ddint get it what was that music you played after describing the plot
The one accompanying the police chase? That music's from The Dukes of Hazzard.
yeah im 23 so didnt watch it didnt know

In my personal blog, I recently wrote a piece entitled The Whispering Stones of Sparta in which I found myself defending my recent visit to this ancient Greek city. Before heading to Greece this past Fall, I'd been told that Sparta wasn't worth the trip. It was remotely located and therefore a long haul from, well, almost anywhere. Plus, the town just wasn't very interesting and the ancient ruins and museums were inconsequential.
"I wouldn't even bother with Sparta," a good friend told me before I left, having visited several years earlier. "There's nothing there but a few piles of rock, so spend your time at better sites."
With all due respect, the naysayers were wrong. Sparta was a genuine surprise, not only for its ruins but as a city filled with amazing restaurants, impressive museums and a vibrant open-air market.
We drove over from Kalamata using the narrow, winding GR-82 highway. The road was beautifully maintained – something we found in almost every large thoroughfare we used in Greece – and offered amazing views along the mountain's spine, the Messinian Gulf to the southwest and the Evratos river valley to the east. The landscape transformed as we crept over the mountain passes. On the west, it was drier, more barren, dominated by grasses, low scrub and scattered trees, epitomizing the Mediterranean climate. As we descended toward Sparta however, it grew green and lush. Thick stands of conifers clung to the towering rock walls and choked narrow grottos next to rushing streams. The journey across the mountain took much longer than it would normally, as we were constantly tempted to stop at the tiny mountain villages and roadside markets selling homemade soap and produce.
As Greek cities go, Sparta was fairly typical – noisy, crowded, bustling, friendly. We found it easier to park our car and walk the streets since a massive farmer's market had been set up in the town square and the crowds were almost impassable. We filled our backpacks with fresh figs and vegetables, then wandered down to the Archaeological Museum which lay at the center of an elaborate courtyard filled with fountains and lines of headless Roman statues. The collection itself was small compared to what we saw in Athens and Delphi, but did much to refute the naysayer's claims that Sparta had "nothing good to see." Artifacts from Sparta's earliest era as a bronze age settlement through its Roman occupation spoke clearly of a community which valued beauty as much as any other ancient city-state, though perhaps this was over-shadowed by the Spartans' reputation as fearsome warriors.
If my friend and the guidebooks were right about one thing, it was that the ruins of Sparta were not as vast as those in Athens, Corinth or Messene. In antiquity, Spartan resources weren't necessarily directed toward massive building projects, partly because their isolation and the surrounding mountains made elaborate fortifications unnecessary. Even in ancient times, visitors to the city commented how Sparta seemed more like a collection of tribal villages than that era's equivalent of a super power. Still, geography and the Spartan's warlike reputation seemed to work in their favor. The city remained untouched throughout most of antiquity, although the Spartan state eventually succumbed to internal strife and distant battlefield defeats which forced it to bow to Macedonian, and later Roman rule.
Now, if you're only impressed by size and grandeur, well, I guess you might want to skip the Spartan ruins after all. But personally, I can find a lone marble column standing lost in a grove of olive trees to be just as intriguing as a sprawling temple. Very few people seem to visit the ruins, so the noises of the city far were away and we could hear every chattering bird and the wind rustling through the treetops. The sense of isolation was almost eerie, as though we were the first people to set foot here in two thousand years. Well, okay, not the first people. The shady groves seem to attract many of the locals looking for a romantic hideaway. We unintentionally dislodged several couples in various states of public displays of affection. Like the museum below, the ruins represented numerous eras of Spartan development. Crumbling walls and scattered marble edifices lay toward the bottom of the low acropolis. At the top were more sprawling Roman-era ruins, including a partially excavated theater, stadium and Temple of Athena. If nothing else, the view from the top of the acropolis, providing an excellent panorama of the modern city dwarfed by the Taygetos Mountains beyond, was worth the long, sweaty climb.
So in retrospect, I heartily recommend a visit to Sparta if you find yourself in the area. But please appreciate it for what it is. If you spend all your time there grousing that its treasures aren't the same as those of Athens or other sites, you do an injustice to Sparta's legacy while ensuring your own disappointment.
