Polished and focused, the wine finishes with a hint of spice and wellintegratedtannins. Drinking beautifully upon release, this wine will continue to develop over the next ten years.
ROMBAUER 2009 MERLOT CARNEROS - If Merlot has dropped out of favor, why the heck do we sell so much of this? Its because you cant stop a good-- make that great-- thing! Rombauer has earned an insatiable following for their reds and whites, but this new vintage of Merlot might be their best Merlot release ever! The grapes are pulled from several well-respected vineyards in Napa Valleys Carneros region, including the famed Sangiacomo Vineyard! Aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak for that perfect balance of structure and opulence, this delicious Merlot is crafted from cool-climate grapes with a warm climate personality.The wine bursts with cherry, ripe plum and spice aromas. The soft tannins are deftly interwoven through a core of plum, with layers of dark berries shaded with hints of cocoa. The wine lingers on the palate with fruit and moderate tannins. It drinks well now, but it will improve with a few years in the cellar.
ROMBAUER 2012 CHARDONNAY - The Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay 2012 is golden yellow with a pale hue. Seductive aromas of peach, melon, and citrus are balanced with honeysuckle and vanilla. On the palate, flavors of pears, peaches and melons are backed with lively acidity. A nice touch of vanilla-scented oak provides an added flavor dimension. The creamy palate has a lingering finish of melon and citrus fruit with a satisfying buttery complexity. Our favorite pairing for this wine includes scallops in a cream sauce, pasta carbonara, chicken risotto and Cornish game hen.

Print-Mixing Tricks
Despite what the Madewell catalog might have you think, print-mixing isn't always the easiest thing to do. Ideally it should look eclectic but intentional—a hard balance to strike, especially when you're overwhelmed with options while trying to put together something cohesive. So we'd suggest keeping it simple and streamlined by sticking to these three templates below.
As head-to-toe print-mixed outfits, they'll have you'll looking more Jenna Lyons polished than Grey Gardens hodgepodge. (Unless, of course, the latter's what you're going for, in which case, fire away.)

Herbal Infertility Treatment
This particular infertility treatment with herbs involves a Traditional Chinese Medical approach to conception. This is a comprehensive protocol that aims at gradually increasing the quality of the female's eggs or the male's sperm. In Chinese medical terms, the Kidney is the organ which is responsible for reproduction, growth, and how well we age. According to Chinese Medical theory poor diet, overwork, habitual stress and excessive sexual activity can all contribute to a weakened Kidney state. When the kidney is weakened or "deficient "various health problems may occur, including infertility.
Fortunately, due to the continued advancements of modern science we are now able to combine traditional medical approaches with contemporary knowledge about infertility treatment. This integrative approach greatly improves the chance of conception. Before going into specific herbal formulas we need to understand the four phases of female physiology that lead up to conception.
The first 5 days of the menstrual cycle the major female hormones estrogen and progesterone will be very low at the beginning of the cycle. This in turn causes:
In subsequent days, the shedding of the endometrial lining triggers an increase in estrogen. This increase leads to yet another release of LH and eventually by day 14 release of an egg.
Day 15-25 the corpus luteum forms and begins to produce progesterone while simultaneously stopping production of FSH and LH from ripening more eggs.
By the end of the cycle the corpus luteum is discarded and FSH and LH production is once again triggered for the next batch of follicles.
The use and application of select herbal formulas at specific phases of the menstrual cycle will maximize the effectiveness of treatment. When considering herbal infertility treatments it is in the patient's best interest to seek out the expertise and experience of a trained physician in Traditional Chinese Medicine in order to help make the proper diagnosis and treatment protocol. However, there are plenty of "Classical" formulas available for you to try on your own that may help your condition.

MACNA 2013: Kessil LED Lights
MACNA 2013: Kessil LED Lights
We couldn't help but be impressed with the Kessil A360 we saw at MACNA 2013. The Kessil A360 was developed to rival the shimmer of a metal halide bulb and believe it or not, we think they did a pretty good job. The pinpoint of light creates something so similar to natural sunlight that it looks a lot like the ocean does when you are snorkeling. Disclaimer

Scenes from a Rocky River basketball game against South Meck
Grandmother and grandchild attacked by pit bull
A 6-year old child is in critical condition and his grandmother is in stable condition at CMC Charlotte after being attacked by a pit bull Wednesday. Mint Hill Police and Medic were called to 4514 Matthews-Mint Hill Road in reference to an attack on a 6 year old. Upon arrival, officers found Muriel Price, grandmother to the child, had also been injured by the pit bull. Ms. Price lives at the house next door and was contacted by a family member who stated that her grandson had been hurt. In the process of running to the house next door, the pit bull attacked her. Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Control took custody of the pit bull on 12-22-2010. The investigation is still pending and police are evaluating whether criminal charges will be sought. The pit bull lived at the address where the attack happened and belonged to a family member of the 6 year old.

O, Little Stars
by Keiron Phelan & David Sheppard (2002, Rocket Girl)
Like the name implies, O, Little Stars is an album of tiny intentions and small ambitions, often so slight that it's easy to dismiss its soft, fluttering soundscapes. And indeed, I've been apt to overlook its little, unassuming charms. But tonight, things are a little different. For some reason, I picked this disc off the shelf, perhaps just looking for some nice background music whilst doing some tired e-mailing and forum-hopping before dragging myself to bed.
However, the album's charms have slowly begun to unfold for me. I've always liked the opening track "Azizintla Fireflies", and way its slightly-blurred analog tones flutter about as if buffeted by a light spring breeze. And "Zurich Sunday" is such a short, quiet song that its wrenching impact seems quite incongruous, but there's something in the way the melody moves through its scale that seems immeasurably sad.
Other tracks, though, have eluded me. Until tonight, that is. Tonight, "Sleep" is quite the apropos track, its shimmering, Steve Reich-esque bells and piano lines having quite the lullaby effect, suggesting the onset of slumber and the dreams that might come with it. The playful keyboard tones on "Snowfall Over…" do somehow suggest big, fluffy flakes descending from a grey sky, while its rhythms—which sound glitchy, but on further inspection are too clean for that—have the same delightful crunch that your boots make as you tromp through the banks.

SUPERIOR, WI (WTAQ) - Officials say there were no high levels of toxic or hazardous chemicals in 25 barrels of old military waste pulled from Lake Superior last summer.
But all but three barrels had thousands of tiny explosive devices. And they were thrown back into Lake Superior, because there was no specialized landfill in the region where they could be buried.
The Red Cliff Indians and the cleanup firm of EMR hope to get a federal waiver this summer to bury the explosives at a dump in the region.
The tribe and the firm presented an update Thursday on their effort to remove 70 barrels of military waste that were dumped into Lake Superior.
They contained top-secret items that were never used – and the Pentagon did not want its enemies to know about those items during the Cold War in the 1950's and '60's. After explosives were found in the first barrels, they reduced their retrievals to 25 barrels, so there was enough federal funding to clean them up properly.
State officials in Wisconsin and Minnesota were upset because they were not notified that some of the waste was being hauled on their roads. But project leaders said nothing was transported that had to be regulated – and the three barrels they sent to a site on Lake Huron contained only garbage, ash, non-toxic bomb parts, and slag material.

Gonococcal arthritis
Gonococcal arthritis is inflammation of a joint (usually just one) due to a gonorrhea infection.
See also: Non-gonococcal bacterial arthritis
Alternative Names
Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI)
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Gonococcal arthritis is a bacterial infection of a joint. It occurs in people who have gonorrhea. It affects women more often than it affects men, and is most common among sexually active adolescent girls.
Two forms of gonococcal arthritis exist:
- One involves skin rashes and multiple joints, usually large joints such as the knee, wrist, and ankle
- The second, less common form involves spread of the bacteria through the blood (disseminated gonococcemia), which leads to infection of a single joint
- Fever
- Lower abdominal pain
- Migrating joint pain for 1 to 4 days
- Pain in the hands or wrists due to tendon inflammation
- Pain or burning on urination
- Single joint pain
- Skin rash (lesions are slightly raised, pink to red, may later contain pus or appear purple)
Signs and tests
Blood cultures should be checked in all cases of possible gonococcal arthritis.
Tests will be done to check for a gonorrhea infection. This may involve taking samples of tissue, stool, joint fluids, or other body material and sending them to a lab for examination under a microscope. Examples of such tests include:
- Cervical gram stain
- Culture of joint aspirate
- Joint fluid gram stain
- Throat culture
- Urine test for gonorrhea
The gonorrhea infection must be treated. For detailed information about treating this disease, see gonorrhea.
There are two aspects of treating a sexually transmitted disease, especially one as easily spread as gonorrhea. The first is to cure the infected person. The second is to locate, test, and treat all sexual contacts of the infected person to prevent further spread of the disease. Some locations allow you to take counseling information and treatment to your partner(s) yourself. In other locations, the health department will contact your partner(s).
A new standardized treatment routine is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Your health care provider will determine the best and most up-to-date treatment. A follow-up visit 7 days after treatment is important, if the infection was complicated, to recheck blood tests and confirm the cure of infection.
Expectations (prognosis)
Symptoms usually improve within 1 to 2 days of starting treatment. Full recovery can be expected.
Untreated, this condition may lead to persistent joint pain.
For information on other gonorrhea-related complications, see gonorrhea.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of gonorrhea or gonococcal arthritis.
Not having sexual intercourse (abstinence) is the only absolutely sure method of preventing gonorrhea. A monogamous sexual relationship with an individual known to be free of any sexually transmitted disease (STD) can reduce risk. Monogamous means you and your partner do not have sex with any other people.
You can greatly lower your risk of catching an STD by using a condom every time you have sex. Condoms are available for both men and women, but are most commonly worn by the man. A condom must be used properly every time. For instructions on how to use a condom, see Safe sex.
Treatment of all sexual partners is essential to prevent re-infection.

Measuring participation
Ensuring that everyone in Scotland has the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors is a major part of our work. Regular research helps us identify key audiences and develop policies and practice to encourage people in Scotland to take part in outdoor recreation, volunteer for the environment or get involved in outdoor learning.
Scotland's People and Nature Survey (or SPANS) is a quantitative research survey which helps us understand how people in Scotland use, enjoy and value the natural environment. The survey was commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage with support from Forestry Commission Scotland, the national parks and Greenspace Scotland. It will run in 2013 and then every third year for a period of ten years (i.e. in 2016, 2019 and 2022). It will provide information on:
- the number of people in Scotland taking part in outdoor recreation, including the sorts of activities they enjoy and the types of places they visit;
- the other ways in which people enjoy the outdoors;
- the types of benefits people feel they get from visiting the outdoors; how informed or concerned people feel about Scotland's natural environment;
- how people living in towns and cities rate their local greenspace;
- recreational use of woods and forests;
- what people think of our national parks;
- and how much people value our national and local landscapes.
Data from the first year of SPANS will be published on this page towards the end of 2013 and in 2014. Find out more about how the survey is run and see a copy of the full survey questionnaire here.
The Scottish Recreation Survey
The Scottish Recreation Survey (ScRS) was the predecessor to SPANS. It monitored participation in outdoor recreation among adults in Scotland for a period of ten years, between 2003 and 2012. Between 2006 and 2012, ScRS data were also used to monitor progress on the Scottish Government's National Indicator to 'Increase people's use of Scotland's outdoors'; our Official Statistics page shows trends in weekly participation in outdoor leisure and recreation during this period. From 2013, the Scottish Government's Scottish Household Survey will become the data source for this National Indicator.
You'll find the final ScRS annual report and summary fact sheet series (for 2012) on this page; to see earlier annual reports, just go to our commissioned research page.

Fierce storm strikes region, Poultney hit hardestBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 03,2014A fierce thunderstorm pounded Rutland County late Thursday afternoon with strong winds and and a torrential downpour knocking out power to thousands and pelting the area with another round of damaging hail.
Scott Whittier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said portions of Rutland took the brunt of the storm.
Poulney suffered so much damage the town has canceled all its festivities scheduled for Friday, said Town Manager Jonas Rosenthal.
"It's a mess, we have no power," Rosenthal said. "Everything is canceled."
"(The storm) brought two rounds of heavy thunderstorms right across Rutland," Whittier said. "It ended up producing hail of 1 inch and greater in Rutland and in some of the immediate suburbs."
He estimated wind gusts "at a minimum of 60 to 70 mph."
The Poultney area was hit particularly hard with trees down, utility poles snapped and thousands without power.
Just after 8 p.m., Vermont State Police reported Route 30 impassable through the entire town of Poultney because of trees and wires down. Other roads were also blocked.
Some structures were damaged as well, with at least one chimney toppled at Dr. Mike Scovner's office on Main Street.
Green Mountain Power reported thousands of outages.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit.
"We've got multiple poles down, wires down," she said at about 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 separate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the Rutland City.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Rutland Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said his crews were kept hopping but all the calls ended up being trees into wires. Some resulted in small fires but no structure fires were reported.
One large tree broke in two places and fell on a building at the corner of Nickwackett Street and Washington Street.
The city also put out its water barrier across the front of the transit center, which prevented water from flowing down into the center.
The largest impact was the power outages.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews. She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.
Whittier said the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms were widespread across south central Vermont with the most damaging winds and large hail "confined basically from Poultney through Rutland and getting into portions of western Windsor County."
Whittier said there were thunderstorms in the northern part of the state, but not as severe.
The genesis for the latest storm can be traced to several days of humid weather.
"We've been in this humid air mass for the last three or four days (and) we're finally getting a disturbance that came through New York and has lifted across Vermont," Whittier said.

iPhone and iPad: Calibrating Compass
You may need to calibrate the compass on your iOS device before using Maps, Compass, or other apps that use this feature.
This affects the following products:
- iPhone 3GS and later
- iPad (all models)
To learn more about Compass, see the user guide.
The built-in digital compass works like a magnetic-needle compass. The accuracy of digital compass headings can be affected by magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by proximity to the magnets contained in the iPhone earbuds. The compass may need to be calibrated from time to time.
When the device displays the calibration alert, tilt the screen to move the red ball around in a circle. You should use the digital compass for basic navigation assistance, but you shouldn't rely on it to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
Additional Information
Some areas have more magnetic interference than others. For example, your car's dashboard may have a high level of magnetic interference.
Note: It may need to periodically recalibrate while you're driving, depending on the level of magnetic interference present. If you wish to use the device in a vehicle, disregard the message to calibrate. The device will eventually recalibrate after several turns.
Warning: For important information about driving and navigating safely, see the user guide.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Indiana is one step closer to helping schools pay to put police officers in the classroom. A state Senate committee approved a bill this afternoon.
It would set up a two-year matching grant program allowing schools up to $50,000 a year. The program would encourage districts to hire police officers who've undergone extra training as school resource officers and buy safety equipment.
The plan now goes to the full Senate.

2 Stocks for a Lifetime
Kyle is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Note: This post contained incorrect information about IBM's net income growth. It has been corrected.
Investing can seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be that way. Rather than trying to put your eggs in too many baskets, why not just pick a basket or two with characteristics similar to the vaults of Fort Knox? In reducing the number of baskets to watch, you get to keep a more concentrated eye on the slightest change affecting your nest of eggs. I believe this method is far superior to picking 50 companies for the sake of diversification. If you wish to eliminate unnecessary distractions in managing your nest egg, reducing your holdings may be a viable option as long as you remember why you are doing it: redirecting your attention from many holdings to focus more intensely on a few. Let's look at two companies which I believe can be bought and held for a lifetime, both of which combined make up 50% of my investment portfolio.
The first stock, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B), currently makes up 38% of my portfolio. I have built out this position over the last 18 months, a time when the stock skirted very near to its reported book value. It was also during this time that Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of the company, announced that the company would repurchase shares of Berkshire Hathaway at 1.1 times book value or lower. On Dec. 12, 2012, the company announced it had repurchased $1.2 billion worth of shares and would now initiate repurchases at a price of 1.2 times book value or below. The treasure trove of great operating companies, an insurance business which consistently makes an underwriting profit, the world's greatest stock picker (now joined by two younger but excellent investors), and a willingness to buy back shares when they are cheap--Berkshire Hathaway is one company I would not hesitate holding for a lifetime.
My second pick is Markel Corporation (NYSE: MKL), which currently holds a 12% weighting in my investment portfolio. Similar to Berkshire in many ways, Markel strives to build shareholder value through profitable insurance underwriting, acquiring attractive operating businesses, and managing a $2.3 billion investment portfolio. Tom Gayner, President and Chief Investment Officer of Markel, has a long history of out-performing the S&P 500, much to the benefit of Markel shareholders.
More recently, the company has announced that it merge with another large insurance company, Alterra Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: ALTE). What makes this merger so interesting is the multi-billion dollar fixed income portfolio held at Alterra, which will come under the purview of Tom Gayner. With fixed income securities earning a pittance in today's low-interest environment, the transition to equities may provide a big boost to Markel's book value down the road. As you can see in the chart below, Markel has grown its book value at a fast clip, and I believe that trend will continue due to the company's great management team and operational focus.
data by YCharts
If concentrating on two solid companies does not allow you to sleep at night, following some of the moves these great investors make may be the solution you are looking for. Coattailing successful investors can be a great way to find excellent investment ideas. In November of 2011, Warren Buffett shocked many in the investment community when he announced Berkshire Hathaway's $10.7 billion investment in International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM). Being one to typically avoid companies in the technology sector, Mr. Buffett explained that IBM had transformed its business operations and appeared to be more of a services business than a technology company. The chart below clearly shows the company's operational excellence, with net income climbing 27% in the last three years, in addition to its diluted shares outstanding declining 12.5% over the same period. The double whammy of increasing earnings and declining share count makes this a particularly interesting investment possibility.
data by YCharts
A smaller, more focused investment portfolio is not for everyone. The daily gyrations of the market can make you seriously question holding just 5-10 companies at a time. If that is the case, you are better holding a number that better fits your philosophy or temperament. There have been a number of very successful investors whose philosophies have ranged from holding a handful of stocks to holding hundreds of stocks. What is most important is that you stick to a philosophy that works for you.

AMAZING This dress exceeded my expectations. The moment the dress was put on in David's Bridal I immediately knew this was the dress. May 15, 2014
Love It!!! Although this wasn't my first choice, I loved it as soon as I put it on. Can't wait to show it off on my wedding day. April 2, 2014
Love this dress!!! I went to David's Bridal just to look at dresses and I didn't think I would walk out with one, until I saw this one. I am not much of a "Bling"girl, but when I put it on I knew I had to have it. It had enough "Bling" for me and it was the first dress I tried on. It makes all my problem areas that I don't like look good, like my butt and my hips. I'm 5'1" and a size 14, it fits me perfectly. I can't wait until my fiance see's me in this dress on our may 2,2015 Wedding. I love this dress!!! March 27, 2014
Gorgeous Simplicity The groom and I decided that we didn't want a "mega dress" (think Cinderella) for our wedding. I wasn't sure what that really left me with as far as dress choices because I have wide hips and a butt to match. I looked online and favorited at least 10 dresses of various design. This was the 3rd dress I tried on and there was a unanimous "AWWWW!!!" when my mom, grandma and maids saw me in this dress. The picture does it NO justice at all. The beading and train are gorgeous and the dress moves very well (I was dancing in the store LOL). Cant wait for my future hubby to see me in this! March 26, 2014

I just found pictures of them. I'm not sure where you can buy one. I googled it and apparently many of them are custom made.
I guess you could make your own, you'd need to attach two headboards. I found this, she talks about how to design one.
They're pretty awesome, send a pic if you decide to make one :p
Maybe go through your stuff and check what you need - then store them in boxes under your bed to make room for your baby's stuff. Or use storage boxes and baskets to keep the baby's things in.
I don't know how small your room actually is so it's kinda hard. Hope I could help a little.

Black Forest Bacon and Brussels Sprouts
Today Cameron and I bought some Brussels sprouts and black forest bacon. We pan fried the bacon and set it aside. Then we cooked the halved Brussels sprouts and cloves of garlic in the bacon fat until browned and crisped. We then drained the sprouts and garlic and tossed it all with the crushed black forest bacon. It was decadent, rich, and delicious. Might be good with Bok choy, too.

IUPUI police have issued an alert after a pair of reported robberies at White River State Park.
A male victim reported being robbed by a man wearing a black coat with red stripes and jeans around 9 p.m. on February 13. The victim said the man stuck what he believed to be a gun in his back and demanded the victim's money along the promenade/canal walk.
The victim, who was not injured, said the suspect ran east toward the Indianapolis Zoo after the incident.
Friday night (February 22), another male victim reported being robbed at gunpoint on the trail behind the zoo around 2:45 pm. The victim of that robbery, an IUPUI student, says he was jogging when two Hispanic males approached him. One of the men pointed a revolver at him and demanded the victim's wallet.
The victim was struck with a piece of wood and suffered minor injuries. The suspects ran eastbound from the robbery scene.
Police offered the following safety tips if you find yourself facing a robbery attempt:

The Bandage Dress, in Candle Form
Cindy, Naomi, Linda—all the original one-name wonders—were intimately familiar with the power of an Hervé Léger. The French house's iconic figure-swaddling bandage dress was released in 1994 and designed to leave little—well, really, absolutely nothing—to the imagination. Donned by some of the most famous figures of all time, the barely there, crisscrossing swathes of fabric would become the stuff of fashion history. The Léger brand has been the property of Max Azria since 1999, but now, at long last, the couturier is back. While Léger has continued to churn out statement dresses over the past 13 years, he has done so under the name Hervé L. Leroux for licensing reasons—the same name he'll be using come January when he rejoins the Paris haute couture calendar. So it seems there is no better time to pay homage to the legendary fashion icon, and Joya is doing just that. The boutique fragrance brand's new Giroflee candle created in collaboration with Leroux boasts a uniquely potent, and unabashedly sensual, floral blend (jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia) in a gorgeous sculpted black matte glass case that mimics his signature draped, body-conscious silhouette. Needless to say, it's a real head-turner.

Whereas your mispelling, pal? Or orange you in on the joke?
you could submit a WTF clearly identifying your boss/company.
If the coder associated Null with False it could explain the comment and the lack of assignment?
"Status" probably refers to the status of the status. In other words, there's a variable called actualStatus somewhere else in the code that holds the actual status; Status holds the status of the actual status held in actualStatus. If Status is "none", then actualStatus is null or "". If Status is "active", then actualStatus does not have a final value in it. If Status is "finished" then you can safely use the value in actualStatus.
However, the default value of Status is "false"...which means that actualStatus is false. You can't trust its value. DON'T TRUST IT, MAN!
For me TRWTF is the fact there are no statuses to indicate development and testing. Is this a developmestuction environment?
TRWTF is that the code contains two lines.
No you Anon. There is only one line of "code". The other line is a comment.
So if this is Java, is it standard to make fields public and lower case?
In C# we never make fields public- they are always acceesed through properties- I assumed best practice in Java was to use getters and setters. And lower casing a public field is a good way to confuse people used to normal standards.
As for the status value being a string and uninitialized, this is totally forgivable if you are using an OR mapper that is mapping a value from the database that is stores as text. Otherwise that is an additional WTF.
It might not seem like much on it's own, but code filled with direct access to public properties that do not use standard casing conventions and favors uninitialzed strings over enumerations would be pretty painful IMO.
Sadly, I can infer only that the troll was more interesting than the article.
Do OR mappers work on fields? I thought they tend to map to properties so that the getters and setters can be called....
False dichotomy. We're all trolls, and we all find ourselves more interesting than the artikle.
So when is someone going to go off on "their's"?
I'd wretch at the ugliness of it all. Also, maintenance of the project would stop until it could be re-written. I don't refactor utter shit; bad code usually indicates bad architecture that will haunt the project even after a full refactoring.
Oops, I meant "Public Fields", but I guess my meaning was taken.
Regarding OR mapping on fields- you are right, at least as far as nHibernate goes.
I didn't think about that since i don't generally have fields the OR mapper would be able to access. I just know we have several public status properties in our app that are strings due to OR mapping needs, but we provide enumeration conversion method that developers are encouraged to use in these cases.
The Lord has very little to do with this enterprise.
Enter a table with a column full of values where false might look like any of the following: "false", "FALSE", "FLSE", "0", "0.0", "no", "-1". Good luck running reports on such "data". Who the fsck writes XSDs or DTDs by hand if it's too hard for them? There's plenty of tools, heck, what about a good craftsman making his/her own tool when in need?
Just like a nice girl in underwear.
Never/always? Those are pretty strong terms... While there is a convention of using properties in favour of direct field access, it's not an absolute...
Normal standards vary from person to person, and from project to project. Assuming anything more than is established from the project actively being worked on is setting yourself up for confusion and trouble...
That's the most cunning ling for us to use. Thank you.
Never/Always without a good reason. Yes, there are exception cases- but you know that is the convention right? So rather than interpreting my post as being about absolute standards maybe you ought to give me a little credit and assume that I was commenting on the code in question, which we have every reason to believe had no good reason to defy standard conventions.
And if you showed up using lower cased public fields in my project without good cause, we'd have words. Polite, instructive words because I'm a nice guy and not an internet tough guy, but I'd hope you'd be willing to come along and work with the team rather than against :)
I'm sure it's quite a safe assumption in this case being that we are told this is an example of code that does not adhere properly to standards.
I would never presume to know the standards of a project unless I was working on it, and the first thing I do before I start coding is find out what the standards are. But as I said, when we are told that the coder in question had issues with standards and best practices I think we can assume that the shop in question isn't going with a "hey, let's used lowercase public strings for statuses!" standard. We might assume they have NO standards, in which case a good coder is going to fall back to something fairly prevalent in the industry.
Yes, of course.
Nobody would ever, you know, have multiple constructors which initialize the string before the field can even be accessed. If that ever happened, the JVM executing the code would automatically terminate the current threads, spawn a new thread that sends an email directly to James Gosling with appropriate geolocation information, who would then ride up in a chariot, with Duke as a passenger, and exclaim, "YOU! You are not worthy!!!" The developer(s) in question would then be forced to using Malbolge for the next 50 years.
No factory?
I wasn't taking a swipe at Java. Given (I believe) the absence of property syntax in Java, I did not know if public fields were more accepted in the Java world.
As for initializing in the constructor- sure. It might be there, it might not be. I assume the worst from context given where this code was posted- but honestly, initialization is the least of the issues here.
The beauty of this WTF is that "status" could be completely unused and not even cause a compiler warning, which, of course, would simultaneously diminish and amplify the WTF-ness of this line of code.
How easy is it to know that you *need* to hit dicotnary.com?
That's "impugning" btw.
Same here. (Although, i would disagree on how harmless it is if it turns out they use strings for almost everything.)
public bool status; //default status is 3
What's a dicotnary?
It's where the dicotomies are stored.
Will no one mention Boog's mis-use of "their?"
I think you just did.
I thought XML was self-documenting...
Feck - not again! Let's just cut this dead right now and replace "your" and "you're" with "yor" just for WTF comments...
Can we replace them with "yarr" instead?
A fish? - does thios go with the Unicorns and Rainbows?
Muphry's law - too true!!
if yarr must
The status field is used to report the status of the application. When it starts up the status is unset because the application is still initializing. When the application finishes initializing and starts processing then status gets set to active. When the application finishes then the status is set to finish. This way the developers know when they can terminate the application - they can just connect to it with a debugger and monitor the field while the application is running and when it gets set to finish then they kill the application.
The field is public (on a publicly-accessible singleton) so that any part of the application can read (and set) it so that they know if they need to be initializing, running or shutting down. Then if the developers find that something didn't finish initializing when the application started processing, they can just set status back to null and those parts will detect it and go back to initializing again; or if something didn't process when the application finished, they can set it to active and the application will go back and process what hadn't been processed yet.
They could even set it to something like "init-K2" to tell the K2 subsystem to reinitialize itself. Can you feel the power? I can!
That's such an awesome solution. I need to put some of that in the applications we have here, just in case.
Where were you?
We're here.
You're in your room of yore.
They're there in their room.
It's better to have its own thing.
Is it so hard?

Sarah Palin writes VB code on an embedded filesystem while on her mommy and daddy's modem, but has to have a happy holiday by printing her code out on placing it on a wooden table which fristly is where she wrote unicorns and rainbows by accident while trying to write a perl script using GOTOs for her inept boss named Bobby Tables that would cut Social Security Benifits from TSA screeners on welfare.
It's one comment and one data definition. Good "code" is sometimes commented. Not that you would know.

Silly slave, can't even quote correctly, he doesn't realize that this is a grown up place.

Let it never be said that Jenelle Evans takes too long to make decisions. The Teen Mom 2 star has been dating boyfriend Nathan Griffith for all of a month now. Too early to move in together? Not for Jenelle.
But the reality star and her beau aren't just moving in to any old place. Jenelle and Nathan bought a house. Together.
Let me repeat that.
Jenelle Evans, who is still technically married to husband Courtland Rogers, has bought a house with a guy she's been dating for a month! From the pictures -- which she says were taken several months ago -- it's a nice house too. Two stories. Garage. Big yard.
Perfect for little Jace to come visit mama ... if Mama and the new boyfriend stay together long enough for that to happen.
So far Nathan sounds like a decent enough guy. He has an actual J-O-B, and he's dedicated to working out -- a taste for the healthy life that hopefully means he steers clear of the drug habits of most of the men Jenelle has been with before.
But buying a house is a HUGE committment. You don't just tell the bank, "eh, I didn't like him anymore," and get your name taken off the mortgage. Unless you want them to foreclose -- and decimate your credit -- you're pretty much stuck with the place until you pay it off or you can find a new buyer (which is not easy in this economy). That means being tied to your co-owner for a long, long time, even if it's just because you both have to come together to pay some bills.
More From The Stir: Leah Calvert Shares Baby Adalynn With the World (VIDEO)
I've seen arrangements like this destroy friends, friends who were actually married to the man they bought the house with. Their finances were absolutely decimated by a split, and recovery is a long, long road -- not just financially but emotionally.
We can hope Jenelle finally found true love, but someone has got to step in and tell her to slow things down before she destroys her life!
Would you buy a house with a guy this soon after beginning to date? How long should Jenelle have waited?
Image via Twitter
I'm happy for her! She deserves to be happy after a long road she's been on! I moved in with a guy I was seeing after three days; five years later we got married and our first anniversary is coming up! She deserves the best and this guy sounds exactly what she needs in her life and I hope some day soon her son will join her! Let the girl enjoy her happiness!!!!!
she is such a unstable person boucing from one man to another.i really hope jace never is returned to her because she is a poor example and very imature for her age.
too bad that the main man in jenelle's life isnt her son jace

Its all about ships
and more
The guide to Saint. John continues with a photo
tour of some of the places of interest in and
around Saint John.
Photo Tour*
t John is located on the Atlantic coast of Canada. It is the main
city on the Bay of Fundy and sits at the mouth of the St. John River.
It is the largest city in, but not the capital of, the province of New
The City of Saint John has a population of approximately 70,000.
It is a clean, attractive city with a mixture of modern buildings and
vintage Victorian buildings. It is not a spectacular city but has the
charm of a small friendly community.
Shopping centers upon antiques and local arts and crafts. There is
a tent market next to the cruise terminal with stalls offering various
Canadian products. There are also small antiques and crafts shops
in the downtown area. Saint John also has a sizeable shopping mall
that is within walking distance of the cruise terminal.
The area is very tourist friendly. Some 4,000 people work in
tourist-related jobs and cruise ships alone contribute an estimated
$25 million to the local economy.
Saint John's temperature averages approximately 22°C or 72°F in
summer during the cruise ship season. It tends to be cooler than in
northeastern U.S. cities such as New York and Boston.
The currency in Saint John is the Canadian dollar. Many
merchants, however, will accept U.S. currency and credit cards.
Saint John is not to be confused with St. John's Newfoundland.
Both are Canadian maritime cities but they are located quite far apart
in two different provinces. In recognition of the confusion the
similarity in the names of the two cities has caused, the first name of
the city in New Brunswick is always spelled out rather than
abbreviated "St."

"Walking To The Reversing Falls"
Saint, John Tour Page One
t. John
Tour Page Two
French explorer Samuel de Champlain sailed into
the area on June 24, 1604 and because it was the feast day of
St. John the Baptist, he called the place Saint John.
Champlain found the Native Americans that lived in the area
eager to trade and subsequently French traders visited the area
frequently. In 1635, Charles Le Tour opened a trading post
here, the first European settlement. A rival trader captured it
in 1645 while Le Tour was absent. His wife, however,
conducted such a spirited defense, however, that she became
known as the "Heroine of Acadia."
Britain. However, the boundaries were unclear and areas
remained primarily French. The Saint John settlement was
occupied by the British during the French and Indian War in
During the American Revolution, a large number of
colonists remained loyal to the British crown and some even
fought in the British Army. Having backed the losing side,
these people were often no longer welcome in the United
States and many fled to Canada, which remained British. On
May 18, 1783, some 3,000 Loyalists arrived by ship in Saint
John. Later in that year, they were joined by another 11,000
Loyalists. By the end of the first year, they had built 276
buildings but a fire destroyed most of them and the city had to
be re-built.
The new arrivals petitioned for a Royal Charter for their
new city and one was granted in 1785. Thus, while there are
older cities in Canada, Saint John was the first one to be
officially incorporated.
The potato famine in Ireland caused another group of
refugees to come to Saint John. Some 30,000 Irish immigrants
arrived in the 1840s giving the city a strong Irish heritage.
During the 19th Century, the City grew as a commercial and
shipbuilding center. However, on June 20, 1877, a fire
ravaged the city destroying 1,600 buildings including the
business district. Consequently, as in 1784, almost the entire
city had to be re-built.
Saint John is a relatively recent addition to the
itinerary of the cruise ships that do Canada/New
England itineraries. According to modern legend, the
first cruise ship to call here was seeking refuge from
a passing hurricane in the 1990s. Since then the
popularity of the port has grown so that it now
welcomes some 210,000 cruise passengers during the
cruise season, which runs from May to October.
The port is attractive to the cruise lines for several
reasons. First, it is a clean attractive small city.
Second, the locals are friendly and eager to have
cruise ship visitors. Third, under American law,
foreign flag ships (very few cruise ships fly the
American flag) cannot do itineraries made up entirely
of US ports. For ships sailing out of New York or
Boston, Saint John presents an alternative Canadian
port to Halifax.
In 2009, Saint John opened an $11 million cruise
terminal. It can handle two ships at the same time. A
third ship can dock at The Long Wharf .
The water level in Saint John Harbour changes
dramatically with the tide. As a result, for ships not
using the cruise terminal's facilities, the gangway has
to be shifted from one deck to another during the
course of the day.
Above: Fog often rolls into Saint John from the Bay
of Fundy casting a mysterious aura over the town.
However, it tends to burn off in summertime leaving
a sunny day.
Below: The Bay also has some of the highest tides in
the world, which even affect Saint John harbour.
Saint John is a city of contrasts. It has modern
buildings but also one of the largest collections of
Victorian architecture. It has small shops but also a
large shopping mall. It is tourist-friendly but also has
its own life including its own university.

The Cruise Terminal is in the heart of Saint. John and many of the
places of interest are within walking distance from the cruise
terminal. It should be noted, however, that there are some steep hills
that may make walking difficult for some.
One can also walk from The Long Wharf into the main part of Saint.
John but it is much more distant.
There are several tour bus companies that offer tours of the St. John
and the surrounding area.
Taxis are also available but not overly plentiful especially on days
when there are several ships in port. Some taxis wait dockside and
offer tours of the area.
Tours are also offered by horse drawn trolleys and there are guides
who offer walking tours.

You can see a half-hour Al Jazeera segment 4 times per day on KCET Los Angeles, 6:30am, 4pm, 6:30pm and 11pm.
Can you say DEFUND PBS? I can.
|via madmikesamerica dot com
It's to be expected. It happens when ever there's a Muzzlocrat in the White House.
I don't see why public money has to go toward anything like PBS. There are media outlets reflecting all segments of society -- I mean, you can subscribe to Al Jazeera on-line broadcasts if you want to.
Whatever liberal hicup generated public funding for pbs needs to be changed. I have no problem with PBS dragging the sack with the general public and obtaining donations - but there shouldn't be any tax money spent there.
It's ever so easy to do stupid things when you're using someone else's money.
Another rat hole that the government throws our money into. If Hillary thinks Al Jazeera is the best news organization, I guess we should be thankful that we get the opportunity to pay for it. I agree, DEFUND PBS.
There's also going to be Al Jazeera cartoons in America soon. http://actforamericaomaha.com/al-jazeeras-for-children-animated-series-for-american-tv/
I once argued with a conservative friend's VERY lib daughter. "Hannity is a pig!" she'd say.......then told me she'd encouraged her mother to turn to PBS's more liberal programming.
I reminded her that she might think Hannity is a pig but SHE doesn't have to PAY his salary like I had to for Bill Moyers and others at PBS.
I stumbled upon English Al Jazeerah the other night on some very high cable channel on DirecTV.......I thought "What the HECK is THIS?" To see Americans giving news as if America was the problem was shocking.
Oh, wait...maybe that was CNN or ABC? (Smile!)
If the Filipinos were asked to sponsor an Abu-Sayyraf network, they would riot, but here, it's free speech and demanded of us taxpayers. This country is stupid. The network should never be allowed to broadcast since they're a pro-terrorist organization. Heck, why stop with the Red Chinese, let's have Castro's network and Chavez while were at it? Let's dig up Pol Pot and Moa Tsu-Tung while we're at it. Matter of fact, when is the 700 club going to be broadcast on PBS? I still holding my breath on that one (NOT!).
Defund PBS and all like enterprises. Include the Arts too. Off the top of my head.
Hey as long as we're talking about tax dollars, why do people vote to give their tax dollars to the owners of the NFL, MLB, etc to build multi-million $ stadiums every few years that Only benefit the owners of the teams. UNreal. I mean, it's embarrassing to live with people this stupid.
Oh and at the end of the season, the NFL gives Unitet(sic) Way 50k or even if it's 200k, it is like they flip a nickel out the window of their limo as they drive through Harlem with drinks in hand and 4 naked women on their lap.
PS - All money going from the government to stupid things is money laundering.
I heard pelosi's net worth increased 60%! last year. Why is she not being investigated.
Yes. We need to defund PBS. PBS has come to stand for the Politically correct brainwashing of socialism.

The Sun Dance Worked!
Published on Saturday, August 29, 2009 - 1:24pm
Despite warnings of a looming thunderstorm, the sun peeked out at 11 a.m., and our summer reading roundup party went off without a hitch! It was a great event to celebrate the accomplishments of all of our summer readers. We had a duck pond, a ball toss, sidewalk chalk art, kites, and refreshments. We had over 75 people attend! It was a great afternoon. I would like to give a special thanks to the Friends of the Takoma Park Library, the library staff, and last, but certainly not least, our awesome customers! Thanks for making today so special.

Benita Meshulam
Benita Meshulam received her early musical training from Sidney Foster in Bloomington, Indiana. After studying piano with Karen Shaw and chamber music with Janos Starker and Gyorgy Sebok at Indiana University, she moved to New York to complete her studies with Richard Goode and Bernard Rose.
Benita Meshulam's recitals have taken her throughout her native United States and Europe. In New York, where she lives, she has performed complete programs of Albeniz and Granados at Merkin Hall, Steinway Hall, The Spanish Institute, Rockefeller University, and Sarah Lawrence University. Ms. Meshulam has been an avid promoter of contemporary music, and has premiered works at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Robin Hood Dell in Philadelphia, and the Dallas Music Hall. London's Time-Out Magazine hailed her as a champion of contemporary music after a performance of Aaron Copland's Piano Sonata. A versatile musician, Ms. Meshulam has appeared for five consecutive seasons at The Beethoven Festival in Long Island, New York, and has toured as a member of The International Piano Quartet. Her performances of the "Goyescas" of Granados have taken her to Toulouse, Boulogne sur Gesse, and Terme d'Armagnac in France as well as the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago and Merkin Hall in New York.
Benita Meshulam feels a particular affinity for the music of Albeniz and Granados. Her family's Sephardic tradition and language date back to roots in pre-Christian Spain. The depth and intensity of her approach to Spanish music have astounded audiences for well over a decade
Ms. Meshulam has been playing recital programs throughout the United States and in Scotland, including performances at Caramoor, Santa Fe, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Music Mountain Festival in Connecticut, and the Historical Piano Series in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. She also performed at the Rubinstein Commemoration Concerts in New York City. Ms. Meshulam's recordings have been heard on David Dubal's "Reflections from the Keyboard" program on WQXR and she has been a guest of John Schaeffer on NPR. Upcoming recitals include City University of New York, concerts in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Scarsdale, New York.
Ms. Meshulam authored an article on Montsalvatge for the Fall 2001 issue of Piano Today Magazine. This season she has performed the Montsalvatge "Concerto Breve" and the Falla "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" with orchestras, as well as premiering some new pieces of Montsalvatge. Montsalvatge has enthusiastically praised Ms. Meshulam's recording of his work, stating that her performance was the highest level of playing, and that she achieved the exact character of each piece as the composer had intended.
In the spring of 2005, Ms. Meshulam gave two highly successful lecture-recitals for the Foundation for Iberian Music, CUNY Graduate Center series "Piano Conversations: The Catalan Piano Tradition."

Beauty: A feel-better face when you're sick
"I just got my first haircut in two years, which is great, but it's coming in so thin," says Jeri Brown, a 51-year-old Los Angeles resident who is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer that has metastasized into her spine. She catches her self-critical tone and digresses. "See, I'm complaining, but really, it's like, thank God I have hair. It used to be so healthy, it would bounce, and now it's like straw, but you know what, it's there."

(CNN) -- After nearly a week trapped by deep Antarctic ice, the 74 passengers aboard an expedition vessel could soon be freed.
But based on the troubles of the last few days, no one's sure exactly when that might happen.
An Australian icebreaker ship Aurora Australis is headed toward the Russian-flagged vessel and is expected to arrive around midnight (8 a.m. ET) Sunday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
It follows the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, which was just six nautical miles away from the trapped vessel when it couldn't get any closer due to unusually thick ice.
The Snow Dragon went back to open water but remains in the area to provide support, said Andrea Hayward-Maher, spokeswoman for the AMSA. The Chinese ship has a helicopter on board that could assist in evacuation.
The plan is to see if the Aurora Australis can break through the ice further than the Chinese ship could.
"If not, the aerial transfer of passengers on board maybe a possibility," Hayward-Maher said.
A French icebreaker was also en route to assist, but AMSA called off that vessel's mission Saturday after it became clear that ship wouldn't get farther than the Chinese boat. Also, the French and Chinese ships can break ice only about 1 meter thick, where as the Australian ship can pierce through floe about 1.35 meters thick.
"Some reports say that the ice is at least 2 meters deep. It's a possibility that the Aurora Australis might not be able to break through that type of ice," Hayward-Maher said.
Extreme conditions
The rescue icebreakers were battling the planet's coldest environment while trying to reach the Akademik Shokalskiy ship, whose 74 researchers, crew and tourists remained in good condition despite being at a frozen standstill since Monday.
Ship stuck in Antarctica awaits rescue
Icebreaker gets stuck; rescue stalled
The ship is carrying scientists and passengers led by expedition leader Chris Tunrey, an Australian professor of climate change.
"The vessel is fine, it's safe and everyone on board is very well," Turney said. "Morale is really high."
The ship got stuck in the ice 15 days after setting out on the second leg of its research trip.
According to Turney, a professor at the University of New South Wales, the ship was surrounded by ice up to nearly 10 feet (3 meters) thick. It was about 100 nautical miles east of the French base Dumont D'Urville, about 1,500 nautical miles south of Hobart, Tasmania.
On Christmas morning, the ship sent a satellite distress signal after conditions failed to clear.
The crew had a "great Christmas" despite their situation, Turney told CNN. He said crew members have used the delay to get more work done.
"We've just kept the team busy," he said.
The expedition is trying to update scientific measurements taken by an Australian expedition led by Douglas Mawson that set out in 1911.
The expedition to gauge the effects of climate change on the region began November 27. The second and current leg of the trip started December 8 and was scheduled to conclude with a return to New Zealand on January 4.
Turney said the ship should still be back in New Zealand on time.
