Simple Recursion
I wrote in an earlier post about the useful programming technique of recursion. I have learned a lot about programming since then, and one regret I have about my earlier post is that the example code is too long and complex to clearly describe the simple point I was trying to make.
So here's another try, with some much simpler examples.
What is recursion?
Many Cocoa programmers are self-taught, and recursion is the kind of "thinking outside the box" technique that may not occur to even the most experienced coder.
The basic technique involved in recursion is that of a method calling itself. It is a form of self-reference which allows us to take a shortcut to our desired result.
What does this mean? Breaking it down, it means that the recursive method will look something like this:
-(BOOL) doSomething:(BOOL)flag { if (flag == YES) { doSomething:YES; //[1.6] } else { return NO; } }
At line [1.6] this method calls itself.
Notice that this method will loop forever if it is sent
YES as the argument. As a consequence, the program that contains it will hang at this point and need to be forced to quit before it eats all the memory available to it. The trick to using recursion in your code is simply to make sure this never happens. In practice, this thankfully turns out to be quite simple.
Why use recursion?
Recursion is an extremely useful technique for any programmer to have in their repertoire. Technically speaking, it makes it easy to traverse a tree of unknown length.
Consider the following example:
-(void) newArtFromFolder:(NSString *)importFolder { BOOL isDir; id importFile; NSDirectoryEnumerator *dirEnum =[[NSFileManager defaultManager] enumeratorAtPath:importFolder]; while (importFile = [dirEnum nextObject]) { isDir = NO; if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:importFileisDirectory:&isDir] && isDir) { // This is a nested folder: Recursive call [self newArtFromFolder:importFile]; //[2.12] } else if ([[importFile pathExtension] isEqualToString: @"itc"]) { // This is an itc file: Extract the art [self newArtFromFile:[importFolder stringByAppendingPathComponent: importFile]]; } else { NSLog(@"Wrong kind of file"); } } }
To break this simple piece of code down, we have two branches. One tests if
importFile is a folder, and if it is, passes it back to this very method for another round [2.12]. If instead is a file with the extension ".itc" it gets passed off to another method to handle the next step. Otherwise, nothing happens.
It is certainly possible to write a method which achieves the same results without using recursion, however it would necessarily contain more lines of code and be more difficult to write, maintain and debug. The advantage of using recursion in this case is that we don't need to know beforehand how many levels deep in the folder tree we might need to search, any folders which are found in the search will simply be passed back through until we reach the file level.
In this example we don't need to worry about endless looping because in practise every tree of folders will be finite. Eventually we will run out of folders and the recursion will no longer be called, thanks to our if statement.
Recursion is a useful technique for solving problems which require sorting or searching through an arbitrary length tree.

I'm watching 'The Gameshow' now. Psychology is so interesting.
The results of The Milgram Experiment are so incredibly interesting yet terrifying when you come to see it play out. It was the same with the 'Judenrats' in Poland under Nazi control; and the essential psychological fallacy of humans that collaborate in majority with heinous crimes. I don't believe in Machiavellian philosophy. It's just very scary when it seems that innate "human nature" can govern us in such a controlling way. At least seeing the experiment played out in such a way gets people to reconsider their acts in the long run; even though I'm unsure whether people are strong enough to stand up to others when they truly believe something to be wrong.
I'm sure Tumblrians would disagree.

Here is the Class AAAAAA state basketball playoff draw. It's unofficial.
On Sunday afternoon, AJC.com will post first-round matchups in all classifications. This is a sneak preview in the highest classification. If you see errors, let us know.
The region Cinderellas on the boys side (let's call them Cinderfellas) are Tri-Cities and Druid Hills, both finishing fifth or worse in the regular season, then winning their region tournaments. Both are in the top quarter of the draw.
The second quarter of the draw looks really tough. No. 1-ranked Tift County could face Westlake in the second round.
In the girls side, check out the possibility of second-ranked Norcross at third-ranked Parkview in the second round.
Girls games are scheduled for Tuesday, boys for Wednesday, but they could go on the same night as double-headers if a school has both a boys and girls home game. Those schools include Norcross, North Cobb, Tift County, Alpharetta and Archer. Unless we missed somebody.

Todd, you need a correction on North Gwinnet double header, the boys are toast, only the girls are winners. NG got beat in the quarters. Also Norcross could have a double header since the girls are a #2 and the boys #1 and both are at home. I saw both those games tonight. NG girls just controlled Norcross, kind of surprising.
February 16th, 2013

Way to go North Cobb Lady Warriors and Warriors. All roads lead to Macon!
February 16th, 2013
11:39 pm
I've seen NG and NX many times over the last 3 years, and you're right, the 4th time they meet will be a barn burner, and yes they'll meet in Macon for all the marbles. I still give a slight edge to Norcross but DeShields will have to play 32 minutes, she loafed for about 15 minutes today.
February 17th, 2013
12:57 am
Diamond has played injured all season and has sat out a number of easier games. If she is not 100% they will not beat a 28-0 Parkview team on the road in round two let alone a 25-1 North Gwinnett in Macon. I truly believe she is more seriously hurt then we really know.

Just broke. GHSA is ruling in on Tift Co. investigation. Two infractions against them. Probably just a fine. Too bad no other penalty, which is good because you do not want the kids to suffer for the coach's arrogant mistake.

It must not be major if true or they wouldn't have played championship game. I'm sure the school was notified before letter sent. If tiftarea news is accurate.
February 18th, 2013
7:43 am
sgabball, your right, because if it was a major infraction AJC, Tifton Gazette, and every other GA outlet would lead with that story. I can't find that story anywhere.
February 18th, 2013
7:58 am
High school basketball fans, when it comes to kids bouncing from school to school for greener pastures, don't get mad at the kid, look within your program. These kids who play at that elite level are looking for the best situation to get college scholarships and collegiate exposure. If your program don't network with colleges and have them coming to scout your players, chances are that elite player will leave. This is occurring all over the country, not just here in GA. Just my opinion.

Congrats to the Druid Hills Red Devils, great job by the Coaching Staff and Seniors to pull off a big win against Rockdale to take the Region…they are playing well at the right time. Let's make a run in state tournament
February 18th, 2013
1:41 pm
GHSA must do something about these controlling referees throughout the year. 15-13 foul count in one half… and 12-10 in the first half. consistently..This is why AAU is becoming a recruiting ground for top talent… The game has passed alot of these text book referees who immediately take simple comments as threats or EGO infractions… It's really bad in the gwinnett area 7AAAAAA and 8AAAAAA… These are your top athletes in the state and yet they call the games as though it's Rec. Ball… "THE TRUTH"
February 18th, 2013
5:01 pm
The Truth you are right about the refs. We (NCobb) had our defensive stopper thrown out the Region Championship game vs Mceachern . They let the girls body slam each other and get mugged without calling fouls then when they got in each others face he calls a tech and throws our girl out. Now she is gone for 2 games in the playoffs. They think it's about them. He had a smug smile on his face and I wish I could have a few words with him.
February 19th, 2013
12:19 am
Well actual the girl thrown out of the game on the North Cobb girls team called the ref. "stupid"~she was not thrown out until she overreacted to the ref's ruling instead of letting the coach handle the matter she took the matter into her own hands~ she is known to have a mouth on the court using curse words at the player's such as the "b" word that is unsportsmenlike conduct and should not be tolerated period so she was thrown out~ it was the best thing that could ever happen to her~ I hope she has learned a valueable lesson~Congrats NCobb

Tift County ruling came out yesterday and the team was vindicated, no recruiting violations. Tift County has an outstanding basketball program of which the head coach goes out of his way to make sure these kids get into college and have scholarship opportunities. That is what it is all about, furthering these kids athletically as well as academically.
February 19th, 2013
10:20 am
TIFTON — Two days before the top-ranked Tift County Blue Devils basketball team is set to begin play in the state Class AAAAAA tournament, the program has received good news from the Georgia High School Association.
In a statement sent to The Tifton Gazette Monday morning, the GHSA said, "After an extensive investigation, it could not be verified that Tift was guilty of any recruiting violations."
The investigation, which began in October, was a result of allegations from the Turner County School System that Tift County had recruited a high school player and a middle school player.
"It feels good to be vindicated," said Tift County High athletic director Rusty Smith said. "We felt good about the situation, because the Georgia High School Association had approved every one of our players (as eligible to play for Tift County)."
Head coach Eric Holland said Monday that he was unaware that the investigation had ended. "I just let the powers-that-be handle that," he said. "I wasn't worried about it because I knew we had done nothing wrong."
Smith went on to add, "We cooperated fully with the Georgia High School Association on the matter. It was a long process, but I am glad it's over and the kids and coaches can concentrate on the state tournament."
While Tift was cleared of recruiting, there was another violation the GHSA did find.
The statement said, "During the investigation it was discovered that the school held an illegal practice in November of 2011. As a result of this illegal practice, the school was fined an undisclosed amount and the basketball program was put on severe warning status from now through the end of the 2014 season. That means that any similar violations by the basketball program during the warning period would result in much more severe penalties."
Tift will open up play in the state Class AAAAAA tournament Wednesday against McEachern.

Holly, I can appreciate what you said and I can't say that I don't disagree with you. My point is that the Ref's allow play to get so physical and out of hand that these incidents tend occur too often.

David F. Carr at Information Week covers the keynote panel at Interop and their conversation regarding the future of SDN and network admin.
The point of SDN is to make networks easy to configure and reconfigure in software rather than hardware, with many more networking functions migrating from being embedded capabilities of a network appliance to being defined in software. Network systems are migrating incrementally in that direction as networks follow the same path toward virtualization as servers and storage, he said. Ultimately, the goal is to provide every data center with the flexibility associated with cloud computing.

I have 42ddd and am going to be going to a c cup.....I have had alot of back issues, and am wanting to get healthy and in shape!!! I am very upset tonight, as I had a date for February 22nd......and they called me this morning to say that they have an emergency breast cancer patient that needs my spot.......I am compassionate about that....however, this is my journey...I am so angry that I finally have taken control of a health issue in my life (I had battled infertility, numerous surgeries etc....until a hysterectomy) so I had no control of my health issues, I had a plan of how I forsaw things would go....have had my pre-op testing and was starting to relax a little......now they have scheduled me for March 28th, which I feel is pretty unacceptable.....6 more weeks to wait, I know I am sounding like a baby....but Im so aggravated :(
Was Scheduled for February.....that Has Changed...

Well Im down to a 23 day wait now.....trying not to think of it....on a good note, I will have money in the bank for new bras and clothes because I have been working out so much........so I guess it worked out okay....and the weather will be better at the beginning of April....so trying to feel positive about it :)

In response to your bra question...I don't think many of us have gotten a compression bra. You say you are a 42ddd then buy a sports bra in a size 42. It will fit because they are tight, they shrink a lil and you are swollen. I was the same size and I am wearing a 42 and a 44 sports bra.
- Reply
Good luck with getting an earlier date! It would be frustrating...if it were only a week difference it would be better, but a month does seem like a long time. Don't get too discouraged. March will be here before you know it!
- Reply
Yes I know this is very frustrating and upsetting for you. I can't even imagine having all the details worked out and then this.
Maybe something will open up and work out sooner. As frustrating as this is for you I promise the end results will be worth the wait. The month is flying by and March is right around the corner. Keep talking to the doctor and let them know you want to be on a waiting list.
Hang in there:)

Flab Mag: 20 Questions with Fang Island Drummer Marc St Sauveur
Marc St Saveur, Fang Island
When and why did you start playing drums?
I started when I was 11 or 12, so around '97/'98. My dad had a giant all-chrome Ludwig kit in the basement, so that definitely sparked my interest. And Dave Grohl. Can't forget about him.
What, if anything, transpired to keep you playing all these years?
Constantly being interested in what was going on in the world of music and drumming. There's always something interesting that comes along and blows me away. Like, "why the hell didn't I think of that?!" I think it's important to stay humble and always have a drive to improve. It's exciting when someone kicks your ass to such an awesome degree that it psyches you up and influences you to play.
What was your first kit and how did you pay for it?
My dad is a drummer, too, and an awesome person, so my first kit that I could really call mine was a junk CB kit or something that he fixed the bearing edges on and gave a new paint job. He put a lot of work into it, and it although I didn't really get it at the time, that was like the ultimate way for my dad to show his support. I'll always remember that moment. I still have that kit.
Spec out the kit(s) you are currently playing on – if there is significance to the set-up, in terms of sound or the genre of music you are currently making, please note it as well.
Yamaha Oak Custom. They're super loud, but have a lot of good low-end and warmth. The photo is actually my set-up in one of my side projects "Dave n Steve" (shameless plug). But for Fang, I use a 12″ rack, 14″ and 16″ floor toms, a 24″ kick, and a 5 1/2 x14″ Brady Jarrah Stave snare which is ridiculous sounding. I also use a Roland SPD-S sampling pad which is kind of new to me and super fun. There's also a tambourine, and a 24″ Paiste 2002 ride that isn't pictured. That thing is insane, but for the most part the cymbals are the same. Damn things are expensive.
What are your thoughts (philosophies or opinions) on the "natural ability" vs. "practiced player" discourse surrounding percussion?
I think that you either have it or you don't. There are certain things that you just can't teach someone. That's not to say that someone can't influence, or help you evolve in regards to your craft, but to some degree you have to have it inside of you. It also seems like the guys whose calling is to play the drums, and really excel at it, have their own style that is easily identifiable. That's stuff you can't manufacture or teach. I'm sure some people would disagree, but what do I know? I don't know if anything I just said even makes sense, haha.
I've heard many stories from musicians who have said they were "spiritually called" to play their instrument. Playing along with this idea, do you believe you were called to play drums? If so, was this something that happened early in your career or later?
I just really wanted to play drums starting at a pretty young age, and that drive never went away. I was a terrible student. It was tough for me to focus on drums and percussion in a student/teacher sense, but I at least always wanted to jam, and have fun and wail. But, I do regret not buckling down and REALLY studying the instrument.
Can someone who didn't have the hand of god reach down and move them to play drums develop the skills of Tony Williams or Neil Peart? Or did these players posses something innate (pre-ordained by some god) that cannot be learned?
The skills of Tony Williams?! No way!
What makes a player a "legend" or "great"?
Someone who constantly rules you, and has a "sound". That's what makes guys like Dave Grohl, Billy Cobham, David Garibaldi, Gene Hoglan, or Bonham, and so many others that much more appealing. At least to me. Those are some of my drumming dudes! You always know when it's them.
Can a woman ever be as great a player as a man? Name one female player who is, or isn't, destined for greatness (Please don't say Meg White!).
Of course! What's wrong with Meg?! She's cool!
What kind of drummer do you aspire to be?
Uhhh, a way better one. Haha. That's a packed question.
How often do you practice? If you don't, why? If you do, what aspects of drumming do you practice the most often?
Definitely not as much as I would like to or should. But since Fang has been on a break, I've had a little bit of time to jam on my own. Lately I've been trying to focus on breathing, posture, staying relaxed, conserving energy, not hitting as freakin' hard!! That's the stuff that I over-looked for a while. I've also been trying to apply double strokes and different rudiments on the kit. That's a fun one, but also really difficult.
Do you rent rehearsal space or are you the neighborly nuisance?
When I first started until I was like, 21 I was the "neighborly nuisance", but they were usually pretty cool about it. We have a space now, which is great. But I do miss the option of going into my basement and just mashing around like a fool for hours on end. I'd like to have that option in the future.
Have you had, or currently have, any physical difficulties from playing and what have you done to alleviate them?
This goes back to the posture, breathing thing. Not as much in Fang, but there have been times where I've been like 2 songs in and have felt like I've been playing for 3 hours straight. Cramps, being short of breath, legs feeling like they weigh about 500 lbs, which inevitably leads to me freaking out and having a meltdown. You know, just over-all misery. Haha. That is the worst feeling, so I'm really trying to avoid that at all costs. It really puts a serious damper on the night. It's a work in progress. Not fun. I like fun. Give me fun.
Given the instrument is physically taxing do you have a health regimen you employ to maintain stamina and strength?
No, not really. Although I should. I smoke and like to have a drink, which clearly doesn't help. It's always weird to see someone get absolutely shit-faced then get up and destroy a set. I'm not that guy. I save the drinking for after the show.
I used to do a lot of bike riding, which I'm psyched to get back into this summer. But touring really doesn't help the health issue for me. It's really easy for me to totally cave on the healthy eating goal that I set up for myself on the road. I'll grow up someday.
What was the first instance in which you managed to play a song in its entirety without missing a note? What song was it?
Aneurysm by Nirvana. That was one of the first songs I wanted to learn to play and my friend told me I'd never get it. What kinda friend is that?! I showed that ass what was up. But seriously, that was an insanely exciting and defining moment for a pre-teen me.
How often do you glance in the mirror and say, "Damn I have great __________!"
"Hair." That happens often.
After all these years: How's your hearing?
Surprisingly pretty good. There was a period when I was really young where I didn't find hearing protection to be "cool", which was totally insane. But I have grown up and am pretty adamant about wearing plugs.

Galveston city officials are cracking down on "Ike blight" as they try to clear out dangerous buildings damaged by the hurricane more than four years ago. NEWS 92 FM's Carolyn Campbell has more.
Tear them down or fix them up. That's the message Galveston city officials are sending to property owners who still have vacant, run down structures damaged when Hurricane Ike came barreling ashore in 2008.
Island spokesperson Elizabeth Rogers says property owners will be given a chance to make repairs to nearly 60 structures considered dangerous, unsafe or neglected.
If you're headed to the beach, or the strand, well Rogers says you'll probably never even get a glimpse of the decaying properties.
If property owners do decide on demolition, Rogers says money from disaster funds is available to help.

Injury is among the most under-recognized public health problem facing our nation today and is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children in the United States. Injuries cause more deaths in children over the age of 1 than all diseases combined. Nonfatal injuries requiring medical attention affect approximately 20 million children and adolescents and cost $17 billion annually in medical costs.
At Cincinnati Children's, we have made reducing the prevalence of injuries in our community part of our strategic plan and set a goal of reducing by 30 percent the occurrence of unintentional pediatric injuries in Hamilton County by 2015.
Starting with a pilot project in the community of Norwood, we will partner with neighborhood agencies to implement educational community programming, school-based and community-based projects promoting safety. The small-scale implementation of injury prevention (IP) strategies within Norwood will identify effective policies, programming and projects that can be replicated throughout Hamilton County. These projects will be expanded in 2012-2013 to:
Key drivers for this work include data and community input, targeting high-prevalence injury mechanisms, increased safety practices including proven injury prevention techniques and improved access to IP education and resources. This multidisciplinary approach supports the most effective IP outreach and promotes a community understanding of how choices and personal behaviors can directly impact the lives of children and the community. See more information about our aims and strategies here.
Injury prevention outreach provides children, families and communities with implementable actions, which serve as a model to preventing or reducing the severity of injuries. It is only through a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach that injury prevention and intervention efforts will be able to respond to the enormous challenge of reducing injury to children.
The Comprehensive Children's Injury Center is comprised of the following team members:
- Richard Falcone, MD, MPH, Director of Trauma Services - Mike Gittleman, MD, Emergency Department - Wendy Pomerantz, MD, MS, Emergency Department - KJ Phelan, MD, Anderson Center
Project Staff
- Dawne Gardner-Davis - Kim Price - Max Warner

Pineapple Sage
The Big Girl Table
I've learned some hard lessons in the last two weeks. I've run the gamut of emotions during this time: confusion, anger bordering on rage, deep disappointment, and now acceptance. We learn many things from the positive experiences in our lives, but our deep life lessons are often integrated through pain and displeasure.
Here is what I've realized:
When someone gives you the icks, PAY ATTENTION. Listen to yourself. There is a reason this person rubs you the wrong way or gives you a weird feeling. As women, we are conditioned to be nice to people even if they give us a bad feeling or appear predatory, and we are encouraged to turn the other cheek when these same people violate us. Do not open the door to someone if you do not want them in your house. Not every person who gives you the icks will necessarily turn out to be a predator, but nevertheless, your intuitive feelings about people are worth paying attention to. Those feelings can save you time, money, and (in some circumstances) your life.
Furthermore, if someone violates you once, or you are not happy or satisfied with the relationship or agreement, don't be like me and keep signing up for more abuse! I paid for a certain certification because it was cheap and fast, even though I was not happy with the initial course I signed up for through the same instructor. I continued to give this person money even though I didn't trust her. This experience revealed to me a personal weakness: I sometimes look for the easy achievement, wanting something without giving very much. The real truth is that most things in life worth having are achieved through effort, time, and gradual accumulation.
Second, BEWARE OF FALSE OR RUSHED INTIMACY. It is inappropriate, and I would venture to say even a violation of personal boundaries, for a teacher to profess love for their students, except in very particular circumstances. Love, respect, and trust are earned. Don't tell me you care about me if you don't even know me. Would you trust someone who told you they loved you on a first date? Honest, caring relationships are grown through repeated acts of good faith.
Third, people don't get to use their personal wounds as justification for violating agreements with others. Illness is an unfortunate life challenge, but it not an excuse for taking advantage of others or not living up to obligations. Know your limits. And never use exposure of your wounds as a way to gather psychic sympathy or support from others. I think the spiritual (for lack of a better word) community is especially vulnerable to predators because its members tend to be trusting, desirous of seeing the good in people, forgiving, often somewhat vulnerable, and sometimes not very clear about boundaries.
To be a teacher, a counselor, and any type of leader asks that you to be responsible, accessible, and accountable. Be clear with your intentions and your communications. To paraphrase a video I watched yesterday: if you want to sit at the big girl table, you need to own your shit!
Fresh Tea
Valerian Flower Tincture
My Valerian plant has just gone totally bonkers with flowers this season, and I wanted very much to make use of them, but wasn't sure how. Enter trusty Google search, where I learned that Valerian flowers can be tinctured and used much in the same way as the root. Valerian is employed as a relaxant and sedative, especially for those folks who have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. (A word of caution: a percentage of people actually respond the exact OPPOSITE to Valerian, and find that it makes them jumpy and excitable.) Valerian flowers are considered effective, but milder than the root. We are mostly use California Poppy before bed in our house, but it's nice to have a back-up plant and to mix it up now and again.
For our home remedies, I tincture almost exclusively in the folk method. I fill a jar (not jammed but nice and full) with fresh plant matter, and then cover with 80 proof vodka and seal the lid. It's a no-fuss method but very effective. I store the jar away in the pantry, give it a shake every now and again, and then sample the medicine after waiting at least 2 weeks. (I consider 2 weeks to be the bare minimum to wait, in order to give the plant matter enough time to give itself over to the alcohol. I usually wait a month or two before using a tincture. Opinions on this vary and I'm simply offering my experience.)
This is the method I used to tincture the Valerian flowers, although this time I filled one jar with vodka and another with brandy. Using brandy is new to me, but I've been experimenting with making flower essences, which primarily use brandy. (The flower essences are often taken directly under the tongue, and brandy goes down a bit smoother than vodka, in my experience.) So now I have two differnt tinctures of Valerian flower to experiment with, one make with vodka and the other with brandy.
Sage Flowers
Surprise in the Feral Garden
The feral garden can be a place of disappointment and difficulty, therefore living in it, and alongside it, is a learning experience. But sometimes, when I'm very alert and very lucky, this wild and unmanicured place gives me secret surprises. As the undomesticated mixes with the civilized, this outdoor world reflects my inner landscape, becoming home to both the contained and the uncontained. We are on a journey together, this garden and I. Digging in the earth is not so different from rooting around in one's own heart and mind: you push down into the damp wetness to find a stubborn rock living there underground, a shard of bone left like a gift, or a decaying peanut buried and forgotten. Every object is sacred if you hold it up to the sun and squint with one eye.
The space between the containers is where the wildness really creeps in. Mostly I see what I don't like: voracious iceplant, illmannered ivy, and uninvited creatures that steal our food. But I try to learn from what I don't like. It is good advice in life to manage what you can manage and leave the rest up to the Gods. I try not to manage this space too much, keeping the role of watchful eye rather than constant gardener. Because sometimes in the inbetween place-the space between the containers- is the fertile soil of secret surprises.
My lettuce seedlings were devoured this winter, and I gave up planting more. Sometimes I get discouraged out here. But the garden knows when I get discouraged and sometimes it sends me a gift. I did not plant new lettuce seedlings this year, and yet look what's growing in the inbetween place: a healthy, vibrant, almost fullgrown head. How did it get here? When did it appear?
I don't know, but the lettuce knows.
SUCCESS: Shopping Bag Planter
I'm going to go ahead and call the Shopping Bag Planter experiment a rousing success. The swiss chard has performed remarkably well in the bag, with the added convenience of being easy to move around the yard if the need arises. The bag holds in moisture very well and seems to be in the same good shape it was in last August when I first planted the chard. This type of planting would be good for balcony gardens and anyone who rents. The bags are easy to remove, bring indoors, or relocate to a new home.
Topiary Monsters in the Neighborhood
Bareroot Fruit Trees
On the recommendation of Mr. Homegrown from Root Simple, I purchased two fruit trees from Bay Laurel Nursery (based out of Atascadero, California) for our budding orchard. You may recall we started with three dwarf citrus trees (orange, lemon, and lime) and I've been eager to add more, but wasn't sure what to purchase or which trees would do well in our area. After reading through their online catalog of bareroot fruit trees, I chose one Anna Apple and one Royal Lee Miniature Cherry (both are semi-dwarf.) I picked apple because we eat so many them in our house and cherry because they're fairly expensive at the grocery store. Anna Apple is recommended for our climate here in Southern California and produces sweet, crisp fruit. The Royal Lee Miniature Cherry is recommended for small gardens and container planting.
Bay Laurel Nursery begins taking orders for their bareroot trees in September and delivers them the following January. (So trees ordered in September 2013 will be delivered January of 2014.) If you are anything like me, you will place your order in September and then forget all about the trees until they show up at your doorstep like a belated Christmas present.
Both trees are doing well so far and seem to have adapted to their new soil and containers. The cherry shows very slight green growth but not too much change since it was planted. Anna Apple, on the other hand, has already begun branching and flowering. The petite white flowers were in bloom for a couple weeks and are just now beginning to die off. I'm really hoping for some apples this year!

Bella's POV
I was running, searching desperately for the only thing in my life. Jacob. I was tired of being the only one that couldn't hear miles away, that couldn't see beyond the horizan, that couldn't run at the speed of light. For a split second I wondered that if Jacob bite me would I turn into a werewolf. Then I remembered it was genetic. That I would have to be part of the Quileute Community. Like I always wanted it. Jacob and I being family...not this crazy love friendship.
It was twilight. I cringed. Edward once told me that twilight was the safest time of day. I didn't want to think of that. I wanted to think of now and not get caught up in the past. Another lifetime.
I kept running. Running wild. Should I give up? He would find me. Right? Yes! He was my personal sun. The gravitational pull he felt toward me would bring him here. He was like my moon. My full, bright moon. So, I would give up and he would find me. He would find me.
I woke up the next morning wet and cold. My shirt was stained with tears. He didn't find me? How was that possible? He was my moon. He'd finally realized that I was a lost cause. Jacob had broke the laws of physics. He had broken our gravity. Had he found his true other half? Had he seen the sun for the first time?
I got up and kept walking someone would find me. If I was lucky Jacob would remember me. He would at least send one of his pack brothers to find me.
I was alone again. How much pain can one person go through? I was sure I was past the limit. Mabey my time was up the first time. The one of many times Edward saved me. The times when Jacob risked his life for me. I was doomed to live and suffer. I would never reach that peace of being dead. No. I was already dead. So where was my peace?
After about 3 hours of aimless wandering I reached the baseball clearing. The place where the Cullens had fun in the thunder. The place a vampire hunt ,with me as a target, started. I didn't realize that I had come this far.This was a sign. Why was I there? I half expected James or Edward to walk in on the other side of the clearing. Then I saw something. A massive red-brown wolf walked out to meet me.
He went back to the bushes. To change back I assume.
"Where've you been Bells?" Well at least he hadn't forgotten me.
"Looking for you. I'm not as fast as some people."
"Oh. Well I...ummmm...ran into...Edward."
Edward? Edward! He came back for me! No. He didn't come back for me. He probably forgot something.
"He told me to mention it to you."said Jake."He wanted me to tell you he was sorry and that he wanted you back."Jake was making a face. A face that was so sad that it brought me down, even in this most glorious of moments.
"Jake? I love you." That made him happy. I know this would kill him.
"But you know what this means. I'm going back to him. He is my soul mate."
"NO!" he almost growled.
"Jake I love him!"
"But you love me too."Well that was true but like a brother he just misinterpritated me.
"Bye Jacob."
"You belong with me. If you would've came a few years later you'd be with me."
"No Jacob. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have come to see you."
He was shaking now. I knew what that meant. He was going to exploded into a wolf.I ran to the safety of my truck. I knew it wouldn't do much protection but it will delay him from killing me.
"Goodbye Jacob Black" I half shouted out the window though I'm sure he would have heard me with the window up and I have whispered.
This wasn't the way our goodbye should have been.
To Be Continued...

that was so nice...totally sad!..poor mutt!..hehe..lol.
charlie's c****** home!!...cannot wait for more..keep on writing and gud luk on ur upcumming exams..take care and update me soon!!!!!!!!!
Ashmeena...ta ta!!
"Bells?"Charlie called up the stairs.
I shoved back my tears, rather my sobs, and walked down the stairs. Edward tried to follow me but I gave him a guarded look and he retreated into my room.
"I'll be up in a minute." I whispered to him. He nodded and kissed my forehead.
"Hey, Dad." I sniffled
"Bella? Is everything alright? What happened? Are you hurt?..." He continued questioning me but I wasn't listening. My mind was still focused on the god-like creature sitting on my bed in my room. I guess I understand why he was so worried. Charlie hadn't seen me cry since that night Edward left.
"Bella?!" he almost shouted.
"Yeah, Dad, I'm fine. Everything's okay." I was almost giggling. My mind went from never seeing Jacob again to my night with Edward.
"Are you sure?" Charlie replied.
"Dad, I'm just tired can I just go to my room?" I asked with little hope that he'd let me off that easy.
"Did you eat?" He asked, looking hurt that I had eaten without him. I realized that I hadn't eaten since I shoved that granola bar down my throat this morning. I hadn't had time to think of food and I was hungry but I was to hungry to sit and try to hold a conversation with him.
"No but I feel kinda sick so I'm gonna skip it."
"Alright..." he stared me down sceptically.
I rushed up the stairs and slammed my door. And all of a sudden I was in my bed, or should I say on Edward's lap in my bed.
"I love you." Edward murmured right before I felt his lips pressed against mine.

Dir: Ng Wui
Scr: Cheng Kang
Orig Story: Qin Sho'ou
Cast: Cheung Wood-yau, Lee Ching, Pak Yin, Fung Fung
1955 / B&W / D Beta / Cantonese / 115min
An Actor's Romance is a perfect example of an un-Union film made by Union Film people. Produced by Taiping Film, it's based on Qin Shou'ou's Qiu Haitang, a hugely popular romance novel in Shanghai. The story, about an opera actor who elopes with his former lover after she's forced to marry a powerful general, is less concerned with social injustice than with indulging in sentimental melodrama. Yet the script by Cheng Kang is rich in emotional upheavals and director Ng Wui executes it with sharp and sometimes ornate stylization, giving the story a powerful dramatic punch.

Summary: Java Data Objects aims to revolutionize the way Java developers interact with databases and other datastores. It allows you to store and retrieve objects in a way that's natural toJava programmers. Instead of working with JDBC or EJB's container-managed persistence, you work directly with your Java objects. You don't have to copy data to and from database tables or issue SELECTs to perform queries: your JDO implementation takes care of persistence behind-the-scenes, and you make queries based on the fields of your Java objects, using normal Java syntax.

Lineman Greg Webb decommits from Penn State for North Carolina
Nittany Nation blog: Get to know the rest of the 2013 recruiting class
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State's 2013 recruiting class lost one of its commitments on Saturday.
New Jersey defensive lineman Greg Webb withdrew his oral pledge to attend Penn State in favor of North Carolina.
UNC recruiting sites reported Friday that Webb had reopened his recruiting and planned to visit the Tar Heels' Chapel Hill campus on Saturday.
Webb, a 6-foot-1, 295-pound defensive tackle at Timber Creek High School in Sicklerville, N.J., indeed visited UNC and committed when his high school teammate Dajuan Drennon also committed to the Tar Heels.
A four-star recruit by Rivals.com standards, Webb was one of three defensive line recruits in the 2013 Penn State class.
His change of heart leaves the Nittany Lions with defensive ends Garrett Sickels and Curtis Cothran, four- and three-star recruits, respectively.
Webb had visited Penn State in March before committing to the Nittany Lions on April 5.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
by T. S. Eliot
Born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1888, Thomas Stearns Eliot attended Milton Academy in Massachusetts, then went on to Harvard University in 1906. As an undergraduate, Eliot developed numerous academic interests, especially in Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, English idealist philosophy, and Indian mystical philosophy. Graduating in 1910, Eliot spent a year abroad, studying literature in France and Germany before returning to Harvard to pursue graduate studies in philosophy. In 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Eliot moved to England, where he studied Greek philosophy at Merton College, Oxford. Around this time, he also began a close association with poet Ezra Pound, whose help and sponsorship eventually led to the publication of Eliots early work and to several reviewing, writing, and editing assignments. In 1915 Eliot married Vivien Haigh-...

Everyone and their bookie couldnt wait to weigh in on the outrageous and unjust, even the NFL later admitted conclusion to the Seahawks-Packers game late Monday night.
As soon as the officiating crew in Seattle upheld the touchdown-call-that-never-should-have-been, Dolphins running back Reggie Bush told his 2.6 million Twitter followers he has had enough of the leagues shaky replacement officials.
These refs gotta go Im sorry, Bush wrote in one tweet, before adding in another, Refs single handedly blew this one...
Added Brian Hartline on Twitter: WOW!! Help please [Roger Goodell, the NFLs commissioner]. I had to check my TV Guide [because] for a sec I thought I was watching Punkd... I was just waiting for Ashton [Kutcher] to pop out.
Usually, Hartline and Bush along with dozens of their similarly outspoken peers could expect fines for such explicit criticism. But these are no normal times. The NFL has no plans to punish them, a league spokesman said Tuesday.
Perhaps the executives on Park Avenue know they have a far bigger issue on their hands: salvaging the credibility of their long-protected shield.
(And not just because the last-second Hail Mary cost gamblers millions; 75 percent of bettors at the online gambling site bovada.lv took the Packers, with millions lost because of the disputed call.)
The NFL admitted Tuesday that the game-winning touchdown catch by Seattles Golden Tate should not have counted but not for the reason most believed.
The league backed the ruling that Tate, and not Packers safety M.D. Jennings, came down with the ball, but did stipulate that Tate should have been flagged for a game-ending offensive-pass-interference penalty, which the officials missed.
However, such penalties are not subject to instant replay, and so the on-field officials were correct in naming Seattle the winners, the league argued. The result of the game is final, the NFL said in a statement.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who criticized the initial call Monday, wasnt any more impressed by the next-day response. The game is being tarnished by an NFL that obviously cares more about saving some money than having the integrity of the game diminished a little bit, he told Milwaukees ESPN 540 on Tuesday.
Also missing from the seven-paragraph statement: Whether the real, more-qualified officials will be back on the field anytime soon. They have been locked out all season, the result of a labor dispute over retirement benefits, among other issues.
Working in their place: dozens of stand-in officials from college footballs lower classifications including a Fort Lauderdale bank executive.
During the week, Bob Powell is a regional vice president for TD Bank. On Sundays, hes a replacement field judge. Powell wasnt part of a crew that came under fire during Week 3, working the Bills drama-free win in Cleveland.
Still, he was in no mood to talk when reached at his office Tuesday.
Ive got to pass you on to the NFL, Powell said good-naturedly. Were under strict orders not to talk at all.
The trouble for the league is, those connected to but not employed by the NFL have no such restrictions.
Analyst and former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer excoriated the league on ESPN immediately after the game, and went back for seconds Tuesday on ESPN Radio.
Several player agents, including South Florida-based David Canter, demanded on Twitter that the owners and referees union hammer out an agreement.
Vince Lombardi and [NFL Films cofounder] Steve Sabol are probably turning over in their graves right now, Canter told The Miami Herald. Theres a feeling when youre at a game that the league is out of control. Thats the scariest thing you could ever do in the National Football League.
Theyre the wrong people on the wrong field for the wrong time, he added.
Inconsistency and inability to keep games crisp and in a flow have been a nuisance to the Dolphins and their fans. But there has yet to be an outcome-shifting call in a game involving Miami.
Still, the Dolphins have been hurt on the margins, penalized 11 times in their 23-20 loss to New York, including several questionable flags that went against the secondary.
Total penalties through three games are up 18 percent over the teams average in the past decade. At the current rate, the Dolphins would have their most-penalized season in seven years.
Yet despite the national uproar even President Obama weighed in Tuesday, urging the two sides to hammer out a deal few think a resolution is imminent. Replacement officials will likely remain in place when the Dolphins visit Arizona on Sunday. Should this continue, odds are the Dolphins will at some point have a game decided by them.
Probably lose it on the field, Dolphins safety Jimmy Wilson wrote when asked how he would react to a Packers-style robbery.
If not on the field, certainly on Twitter.

When it is time to pitch investors, you need a solid deck that will help get a conversation started. If it is a really great deck, then you may never get through the whole presentation, because people in the room will start buzzing with questions and input.
- Problem
- Your solution
- Business model
- Underlying magic/technology
- Marketing and sales
- Competition
- Team
- Projections and milestones
- Status and timeline
- Summary and call to action
You should give your ten slides in twenty minutes. Sure, you have an hour time slot, but you're using a Windows laptop, so it will take forty minutes to make it work with the projector. Even if setup goes perfectly, people will arrive late and have to leave early. In a perfect world, you give your pitch in twenty minutes, and you have forty minutes left for discussion.You will want to change this deck to suit your needs, but for a first run, stick with the format. Having a great deck is more important than any business plan you might be thinking about writing. Get to it!

Many fans assumed that Beyonce's new album would be out by now. After all, she's already launched a tour, appeared in several ad campaigns, covered many major magazines, starred in an HBO documentary and leaked a couple of new tracks: all activities that normally lead up to an album release. But now it appears we may have to wait 'til November to hear Queen Bey's new music.
A Norwegian Beyonce fan named Olivia Krantz has posted on a blog that she met the star backstage after her recent concert in Oslo. At that time, Krantz claims, the singer told her when her album is coming out. While Google Translate doesn't do that great a job on Norwegian, the sentence, "'In November,' was the reply" is definitely present in Krantz's post.
Digital Spy , which evidently has a better command of Norwegian than Google Translate, reports that Krantz wrote, describing the post-show meet-and-greet, "Everything went so fast that I could only say that I love [Beyonce's new song] 'Grown Woman' and ask her when her album is coming. 'In November' was her answer, before her gaze drifted to the next fan. Got a faint feeling that she disliked the question." Stay tuned.

Home away from home
Everything was great. The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. Very close to lots of stores and disney. Would definitely stay here again.
Family vacation
We leave out tomorrow and have enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house is great, seems to have been a little updated since the website pictures. Pool heat was perfect and the geckos stayed outside the lunia and were fun to watch. I do recommend telling visitors to pull up all the way in the driveway, we did receive a $50 ticket for being on the sidewalk when we arrived late our first night. Love this location and would stay here again for a future Disney trip.
Fantastic time in this beautiful home...
The home was beautiful, bright, clean and comfortable. We were seven people (4 adults and 3 kids) and we had plently of space. The kids loved the pool and the games room. Janice, thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your home and we would love to stay again in the near future.

The below recap on Jim Cash's session is courtesy of Connor McEwen of Webcred:
We had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Jim Cash speak about his experience as an entrepreneur, professor, and board member. The entire session was full of great information, but there were a few things that really stuck out to me.
I've heard multiple people speak about advice. They always say, "People are going to give you a ton of advice, but in the end, the decision is up to you." Dr. Cash gave us a bit of a different spin, telling us to first figure out if the person telling you to do something has actually done that thing themselves. If your English professor is giving you advice about which string searching algorithm to use, you should probably weigh it very lightly as compared to a string searching algorithm Peter Norvig recommends.
