Ever since U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland flunked a pop quiz on the Ten Commandments, "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central has been uncertain ground for hard-core Republicans.
Stephen Colbert's faux-Reilly schtick can be thoroughly baffling.
Nonetheless, last night, Erick Erickson of Redstate.com, the conservative provocateur from Macon, agreed to become Stephen Colbert's first victim – er, guest – of 2010.
Here's the official version:
|The Colbert Report
|Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
|Erick Erickson
Much of the interview was a lesson in responsible Twittering:
Colbert: You, sir, have put me to shame. You have Twittered the following things: You said of Justice [David] Souter that he was a goat-[bleep] child molester.
(Erickson nods.)
Colbert: You said Linda Douglas, the White House health care spokesperson, was the Joseph Goebbels of health care.
Erickson: Yeah.
Colbert: And you said of Nobel Prize-winner Barack Obama, "I did not realize the Nobel committee had affirmative action quotas." Now, all of those things I think are refreshingly bold.
Erickson: Not exactly.
Colbert: Okay, would you be willing to repeat any of those with your face on camera?
Erickson: The last two, yeah. The first one was not my finest moment.
Colbert: Wait a second. Are you saying that David Souter is not a goat-[bleep] child molester?
Erickson: No, probably not.
Colbert: When did you go soft, sir?
Wayne Mason, the Gwinnett County real estate tycoon, has underwritten many a political career in his lifetime – not excluding the one belonging to Zell Miller.
So when the 69-year-old Mason says he's lost more money in this recession than in any other, it matters. This from a piece by my AJC colleague Dan Chapman:
Mason's legal and financial woes came to the fore in October when Wachovia Bank sued him for defaulting on a $7.5 million loan.
Mason and Lone Pine, one of his companies, borrowed the money in 2004 to buy three units in a Buckhead medical building, according to the lawsuit.
In November, a South Carolina bank sued Mason, John Williams, Ronald Leventhal and James Wallace Sr. — all major Atlanta developers — claiming they defaulted on $42.5 million in loans used to finance a posh residential community along the Georgia coast.
First Citizens Bank and Trust Co. said interest payments haven't been made since May.
Each developer is on the hook for as much as $9.5 million, according to the lawsuit. Ten real estate and investment companies, all affiliated with the four developers, shoulder the brunt of the loans.
Mason and the others pumped millions of dollars into Hampton Island Preserve, a 4,000-acre gated community below Savannah where home lots top out at $4 million.
Anyone who watched last night's Tostitos Fiesta Bowl last night knows that he who pays the bill gets the glory. But this from the Times of London may set some to wondering whether NYC could soon have the Renmenbi Empire State Building:
Dubai was forced to swallow its pride today and rename the world's tallest building after the ruler of Abu Dhabi – the neighbouring emirate that saved the city-state from financial collapse.
The humiliating announcement was made by Dubai's ruler at the dazzling launch of the $1.5 billion (£930 million) Burj Dubai, which will now be known as Burj Khalifa, in honour of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates….
But the launch, which was intended to be the crowning glory of the emirate's emergence on to the world stage, exposed the reality that Dubai's achievements are no longer its own while Abu Dhabi is picking up the cheque.
In the past 12 months Dubai has witnessed the collapse of its once-booming property market, driving down real estate values by up to 50 per cent in 2009.

"Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered" This is what Mason, Williams, etals should have realized prior to borrowing a ton of money that hasn't been paid back thus far. I imagine that the corporations, LLC's they set up will fail / die and these guys will be back up to their old ways and tricks in no time. I just hope the banks make it harder for them to get money the next time around than the last time around. Maybe they should have to be on the hook for these loans personally. The first rule in real estate 101 though is to use other peoples money.

Every so often Erickson slips into clear-headed rationality. But he always reverts to pandering & posturing to the far right–that's his bread and butter. A guy has to make a living!

As a Macon resident I find it hilarious that Erickson is such an important conservative voice. He's an unemployed blogger and ineffective member of Macon's city council.What a total joke.

"Dubai was forced to swallow its pride today and rename the world's tallest building after the ruler of Abu Dhabi – the neighbouring emirate that saved the city-state from financial collapse."
Who knew ( or cares) that here is a difference between the two places?

St. Armands fire station to open in September
Date: August 12, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Sarasota County Fire Station 3 will soon be blazing trails.
Major construction of the fire station on St. Armands Key, the first Sarasota County fire station to comply with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design green-building standards, will likely end within two weeks, said Mike Tobias, chief of logistics with the Sarasota County Fire Department.
Firefighters are expected to move into the facility, located at 47 N. Adams Drive, in mid-to-late September.
Construction of three additional "green" Sarasota County fire stations is under way, Tobias said. Another three are planned for 2010 and 2011.
"We think this is a good step in the right direction," Tobias said.
The St. Armands fire station was built in 1954. The four firefighters who were stationed in the building struggled with its old wiring and bathrooms, which were located in a different building. The county discussed remodeling the building, but the renovations would not comply with FEMA standards.
In December 2007, the old facility was torn down, and construction of the new station began in 2008. Since the demolition, St. Armands firefighters have been stationed at a temporary facility near the Lido Beach Pavilion.
According to Tobias, the station's green features will include solar-water heating, a cistern for collecting rainwater and a greywater system that uses recycled water for flushing toilets.
"Everything was done to minimize the carbon footprint that we leave behind by building," Tobias said.
Construction costs of the 9,100-square-foot station total approximately $2.6 million, Tobias said. Energy-and-water costs for the building are expected to be 15% lower than those of a standard building.
The fire station will have a meeting room with seating for 20, which will be open to the community.
A dedication will take place later this fall.

Some background on the project
Hi, my name is David Surman. I'm a designer and co-director of Pachinko Pictures. I was invited by my good friend Christian McCrea to teach a class on Design for the students of the Bachelor of Design (Games) at RMIT. The theme of the class was "What is a designer?", and for this assignment we looked at different ways to communicate the theme and values of Journey by thatgamecompany. Students were asked to look at the game and develop a PS3 sleeve design that communicated a new perspective on the Journey world. I hope you enjoy the great work they created. communicatingjourney.tumblr.com

I seriously am not sure.
Because they take this more seriously than American's take football. To them it's more than a job. It's a lifestyle. Like a real career.
Everywhere else it's a cool job that you do for a while then move on to a real job.
It is an actual job to them. They practice it until they hate the game.
Because azn
Videogames aren't as frowned upon, the ability to make money in tournaments is far more of a thing, so more people are able to enjoy them and see it as a positive thing.
With all of that, you are going to have more people and more competition, meaning a far stronger group of players making it to the top.
Kumamon JPN
They don't celebrate Christmas and take vacations like the lazy westerners.
Delta Sniper
Well i can give you a racist answer but........ that would be racist.
Wild Panic
That's why they're professionals. ^
koreans who are good at this game prioritize this game. alot of my friends start playing like 6 in the morning until like 12 at night and they study this. They like memorize calculations and stuff. not even kidding. they take it to another level. im a bad korean lol
It has been explained before. Their culture considers gaming to be a legit career, and thus people are encouraged to really strive to excel at it. They have much higher standards for how they practice, they do not televise their strategies, and they work very hard to make sure their entire team is so well coordinated they don't even need to speak to know what another member would do in any situation. They make sure they know how every fight will go down, what spells will be used when, and how to create a situation that benefits their team way better than both NA and EU teams do.

Right on! Bobby Jindal is my choice to lead the GOP and my choice for President in 2016. For the life of me I could not understand why the people in the Republican governor states did not go for Romney. Everyone of these governors are turning their states around for the better and why could their citizens not see that the GOP is better at handling the economy?

I didn't know what I was getting into when I added this pen to my cart, but it is the most spectacular shade of green that I've ever had in a pen.

80907: Castle Wedding for Holly Willoughby
August 8, 2007 by Paris Permenter and John Bigley+
Filed under BridalStars, Celebrity weddings
Gliding across a lake that reflects the facade of Amberly Castle, swans greeted the family and friends arriving at the West Sussex fortress on August 4, 2007 for the wedding of "Dancing On Ice" hostess Holly Willoughby and her love, Dan Baldwin. British newspaper The People reported that the television presenter hid from the prying eyes of the paparazzi as she entered the English castle, which has welcomed such regal visitors as King Henry VIII in 1526 and a young Princess Elizabeth in 1945 during the course of its 900-year history. Reporters were able to catch a glimpse of Fearne Cotton, the bride's co-host in her latest TV venture, "Holly and Fearne Go Dating," in a white bridesmaid's dress accented with a black ribbon, and guest Tamzin Outhwaite, who surely thought of her own special day in July 2006 when she said "I do" to actor Tom Ellis at All Saints Church in Lullington, Somerset as she watched the couple pledge their devotion.

OMB's revised PortfolioStat process simplifies IT reporting requirements
Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel said the new process is centered around three concepts: the why, the what and the results. The White House also is consolidating 30 reporting requirements into three that will help agencies determine answers to the three questions. OMB also updated the goals under the data center consolidation initiative.

Here's a charming little sweater perfect for your Valentine! I knit this in an afternoon, using stash yarn. It is designed to fit a 6" tall bear, just the right size to tuck into a box of candy.
I used pink "Kid n Ewe" yarn for the sweater, and some red scrap yarn for the heart. 1 skein is more than enough--I barely made a dent in the 120 yd. skein of Kid n Ewe. You can use any yarn that will get you the gauge of 5 sts=1" using US #7 needles.
You'll need US #5 & #7 needles.
With smaller needles and MC, cast on 19 stitches. Work in k1, p1 ribbing for 3 rows. Change to larger needles and stockinette stitch. Work 1 purl row -- you are now on the right side, and will be working the heart:
Knit 3 sts, work heart over 13 sts, Knit 3 sts. Work entire chart:
<>Written Instructions for the chart:
When you have finished the last row of the chart, shape neck:
Knit 5 sts, slip center 9 sts to holder for neck, knit last 5 sts. Working each side separately, decrease 1 st at neck edge 1 time; work 2 rows even, then bind off the 4 shoulder stitches.
Cast on 19 sts on smaller needles, work ribbing as for front. Change to larger needles and stockinette stitch. Work even until back measures 3 1/4" from beginning (or same length as front -- I sewed the sweater together before I measured, so this is a bit of a guesstimate, but pretty close!)
Sew left shoulder seam. Using smaller needles, pick up 31 sts evenly around neck, including the 9 sts on the front holder. Work in k1, p1 ribbing for 2 rows. Bind off in ribbing.
Sew right shoulder seam.
With larger needles, starting 1" from back bottom edge, pick up 20 sts at side of sweater and ending 1" from front bottom edge. Work in stockinette stitch for 6 rows, then change to smaller needles & k1 p1 ribbing for 2 rows. Bind off.
Sew side and sleeve seams. Give to your sweetie with a big hug and a kiss!

The first day I met you,
My heart went haywire.
The first day I kissed you,
My soul caught on fire.
You're beauty is amazing,
Your smile fantastic.
But looking back now,
I know it was all plastic.
Fake as can be,
Everything that you're not.
The web you have weaved,
In which I am caught.
You're seemingly pure.
Your "love" is serene.
But I'm starting to realize,
You're not what you seem.

Call 215-248-8800
Mount hoopsters head to league final at 23-0
Saying that Tara Barr adequately answered the call is understating the matter.
Normally Mount St. Joseph Academy's sixth man, the 5'9" junior forward was tabbed to start in last Saturday's league semifinal after Magic high scorer Elle Hagedorn sprained her left ankle four days earlier. Scoring 10 of the first dozen points for the top-seeded Mount, Barr led the team out to a 14-11 halftime lead over the number four Nazareth Academy Pandas.
It was a low-scoring affair overall, but points piled up late in the contest for Mount St. Joe, who made 13 of 16 free throws in the fourth quarter and beat Nazareth, 40-29. The victory moved the Mount into this week's Athletic Association of Catholic Academies championship game, and also kept the Magic undefeated for the season, at 23-0.
Barr pulled five rebounds and paced the MSJ offense with a total of 14 points, second only to Nazareth center Carleigh Brown, a Rider College recruit who posted 17 points with four rebounds and three blocked shots.
"Any time she went in during the season, Tara came up huge for us," remarked Mount Coach John Miller.
The Pandas (15-8, 8-7 AACA) got eight points from guard Jess Sylvester, but after that their output dropped to the two points apiece scored by Maggie Borski and Leah Kuczynski. For the winners, sophomore forward Steph Smith was right behind Barr with 13 points and five rebounds. There was solid supplemental scoring, too, with five points from sophomore guard Mary Jo Horgan, and four apiece from two seniors, guard Jen Sabia (six assists, five rebounds) and forward Shannon Bridges.
In their only other outing last week, the Magic capped a perfect regular-season run with a 49-26 win over Gwynedd Mercy Academy. It was a costly victory, though. With five points already in the book early in the opening quarter, Hagedorn made another basket while being fouled, but was injured on the play. What was later diagnosed as a low-ankle sprain knocked her out of the AACA playoffs, but she's likely to return for the District I tournament as the Mount sets about defending its 2008 Class AAA state championship.
"I didn't think the loss of Elle would affect the team mentally," Coach Miller revealed. "In terms of attitude and teamwork, we didn't miss a beat. We lost, arguably, the most talented player in the league, but the way the girls adjusted you never would've known our best player just got hurt. We might have had the three best practices of our entire season in the three days leading up to the Nazareth game."
Although seeded fourth, Nazareth was not to be taken lightly. The Mount had needed a buzzer-beater from Sabia to knock off the Pandas up in Northeast Philly, and in the return engagement the host Magic won 40-33.
Arriving at Gwynedd Mercy College, where the AACA playoffs were held, Barr admitted she was "very nervous" about starting in Saturday's semifinal. The arena was crowded and loud, and in the stands were many members of her family, including her grandmother, who happens to be named Roseanne Barr.
"During the warm-ups, the butterflies went away and I was ready to play," the MSJ junior related. "I know I need to be there when other girls can't be; that's just my role on the team. Every player has a job to do, and you're not treated any differently because you're a starter or you come off the bench."
The sidelined Hagedorn agreed, pointing out, "Everybody does what's best for the team, not for us individually, and I think that's why we're doing so well. Tara played awesome. I don't know if they thought they didn't have to guard her, but if they did, she made them pay."
Standing 5' 10" with great leaping ability, Harvard-bound Hagedorn is considered one of the team's two "big" players, along with the six-foot Smith. Nazareth didn't seem prepared to take full advantage of her absence; often the Pandas did not have their two 6-1 starters, Brown and Kuczynski, on the court at the same time.
When the early tone of the contest was being established during the first quarter, the Pandas pulled Kuczynski off the floor and didn't send her back until almost the end of the period. Later, both Nazareth "bigs" were in the game when MSJ's Smith stepped to the foul line for a pair of free throws. After Smith made the first shot, both Brown and Kuczynski were withdrawn to the Nazareth bench. Smith missed on her second attempt, but guess who got the rebound and then another trip to the foul line? The Mount.
If Nazareth hoped to succeed by trading size for speed, it didn't work. Over the first nine minutes of the contest, the Magic guards (particularly Sabia) found Barr as she made quick cuts to the basket. Horgan had opened the scoring with a pair of foul shots, and the Mount moved out to a 10-8 lead at the end of the first quarter, with Brown netting six of Nazareth's points.
In the first minute of the second quarter, a three-pointer by Sylvester gave the Pandas their only lead of the night, 11-10. Horgan passed inside to set up Barr's fifth field goal, then Barr assisted Smith on a driving lay-up, setting the halftime score at 14-11. The low output seemed due to a combination of nervous shooters and stalwart defenders on both sides; the two teams shot under 30 percent from the floor during the first half. Late in the second quarter, the playoff jitters also generated four consecutive traveling violations – two for each side.
The offenses were a bit more productive in the third stanza; it was an 8-8 standoff that sent the Magic into the fourth period with a 22-19 edge. Over the first four minutes of the final round, the Pandas added field goals by Brown and Kuczynski, but a "three" and a foul shot by Smith and a jumper by Sabia increased the MSJ lead by another two points (28-23).
With 3:59 to go Kuczynski committed a non-shooting foul, but it was her fourth of the game and Nazareth's sixth of the half. Neither club scored for more than a minute after that, then with 2:45 to go the Pandas picked up their seventh foul, and the Mounties began marching to the line. That's where the Magic acquired their last dozen points of the evening; Barr and Bridges went four-for-four, Sabia shot two-for-two, and Smith sank two of four tosses. In the stretch run Nazareth's Kuczynski fouled out, while Brown shot four-for-six from the free throw line and then made a lay-up with a dozen seconds remaining to set the final margin at 11 points.

After a successful pilot, Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) will expand its education technology programme across the entire country, according to local media.
The education technology programme is currently being used in 37 provinces and cities nationwide for 200,000 first graders.
Professor Ho Ngoc Dai, whose research guided the programme at its inception 35 years ago, is pleased about the growing adoption of the programme and the expansion nationwide.
The benefits of the programme and a successful pilot has prompted this decision, according to Deputy Minister of Education Nguyen Vinh Hien.
The programme was first applied in 1978 at the Hanoi Experiment Secondary School under the supervision of the Education Science Institute. It quickly expanded to other schools from 1990, and reached 43 provinces and cities by 2000.
While the Ministry officially stopped the programme in 2001 in a bid to standardise curriculum and textbooks nationwide, the programme continued to grow organically. In 2008, for example, Lao Cai province in the north and Tay Ninh, Kon Tum, Kien Giang, Dak Lak and An Giang in the south adopted the programme.
According to Nguyen An Ninh, Director of the Lao Cai Education and Training Department, it was a "daring move" to adopt the programme at that time as it was going against the instructions of MOET.
Sometime between 2010 and 2011, MOET returned the autonomy to schools to decide on first grade curriculum for teaching the Vietnamese language, as long as the Ministry was kept informed.
The education technology programme was first applied in four districts of Muong Khuong, Simacai, Bao Yen and Bao Thang. It significantly improved the learning of Vietnamese language by the ethnic minority students.
"Once the ethnic minority students have better Vietnamese language skills, it better facilitates the learning of other subjects," commented Trieu Thi Hoa Dao, Headmaster of the Trinh Tuong Primary School No. 1 in Bat Xat, a rural district of Lao Cai province.
Kien Giang, a province with 1.7 million population, now applies the education technology programme at 62 primary schools, while Nam Dinh, a province in northern Vietnam with 1.83 million people, has adopted for all of its primary schools. In Hai Duong, another Northern province with 1.7 million residents, the programme has been used widely in two districts, and at some other schools in other districts.

Extremely dissatisfied with this daycare. It is the worst school in th area. My child hasn't learned the basics here. They don't even try to potty train. The teachers are rude and don't seem to be motivated to provide a learning experience. I took my child to another daycare and it's the best decision I've made for his well-being. I will never recommend this school.
This is a wonderful school....i dont know why there are still people who dont like just cuz most of the teachers dont speak a very good ignish....they teach my kids like no other school have done before and im really proud of my sons education!
This a really wonderful place I have been with them for years and they are like part of my family, they provide to many good services pluss they are school
my child has attended this school for aprox a mth and its been nothing but bruises and bumps the child comes home with. when asked what was taught in school. child replies with "nothing. ate and played". my child is 4yrs old. the morning drop offs are scary.. The front door is unlocked any child can easily walk out unnoticed. Teach was asked one afternoon if they teach the children the basics that you would think any daycare does (ex. color, 1-10, abc's, crafts) the staff member advised no they just play all day or go outside to the park and throw rocks thru the fence into the lake. we dont teach them till they dont get into VPK program. Previous to this daycare my child attended another daycare since the age of 2 and there he learned the basics and even was potty trained and was even taught how to trace and about history. they did crafts and even brought homewrk. unfortuantely i couldnt continue at this daycare due to location. Wonderful Paradise is not as wonderful as it sounds or atleast how they picture it to be when u go to register.
This is the worst daycare/learning center in all of Miami Dade Couny. Teachers are not certifed. The children do not learn anything unless they ar in te VPK classes. The only thing the children do all day is play outside or watch movies. The so called "teachers" do not even want to bother with at least teaching basic things to the children who are not in the VPK classes. Most of the teachers do not speak any English at all. I hope that one day soon this school gets shut down completely.

Car of the Week: 1912 Oldsmobile Model 45A
Keith Korbut is a fan of early automobiles – really old, brass-era, wooden-wheel relics. He's also a fan of V-8 propulsion. Those two fascinations are generally mutually exclusive. You normally can't have them both at the same time, unless you're heading down the street rod path. So when Korbut came across a 1918 Oldsmobile, and learned that it actually came equipped with a factory V-8 — one of the only cars of the "nickel era" so equipped — he couldn't help himself. More

Beneficial Mutual Bancorp Inc Stock Downgraded (BNCL)
- BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.15 versus -$0.11 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.23 versus $0.15).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry. The net income increased by 539.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$0.90 million to $3.95 million.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- After a year of stock price fluctuations, the net result is that BNCL's price has not changed very much. Although its weak earnings growth may have played a role in this flat result, don't lose sight of the fact that the performance of the overall market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was essentially similar. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $14.25 million or 71.69% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

Issue #42 - 2012-05-14 - What is in a name?latest | archive
This issue was put together in Kiev, thanks to Yaroslav Korshak (yko), Alexandra Solov'eva (Sasha), Viacheslav Tykhanovskyi (vti) who organized Perl Mova and invited me to participate. Special thanks to yko and Sasha who even let me stay in their apartment.
I enjoyed myself very much walking around in Kiev and the conference was also great. On the first day there were several talks in English. The second day I spent in the hallway track. vti has already wrote about it (see below), but I hope we'll see several other reports written about the event.
It seems giving names is a central theme of this issue. There are at least 3 items related to the importance and the difficulty of naming things.
Lastly, let me point out, that Damian Conway will give a talk in New York, in May 17. See details below.
Now to the posts...
After a hiatus of five and a half years, Philippe Bruhat (BooK) has finally put together a new version of his module. Not only that, he also pays tribute to the political events in his country. Having this module, no one should have any excuse of giving bad names to their modules or classes or methods. See the other links about naming.
YAPC::NA will be streamed live for free. If you were not able to come, this is a good opportunity to follow the talks even if you miss the hallway track and the other social aspects of the conference.

Twitter Bootstrap templates for Dancer Applications

NYTProf, File IO, and an Optimization Gone Awry
In order to speed up processing chromatic added caching to his application, just to find out that the module he was using writes the data it gets to a temp file. After getting rid of the premature optimization, he got faster and nicer looking code.
On the importance of intuitive names
In light of the post of Joel Berger this writing by Zbigniew Lukasiak is even more interesting. How do you pick names (of classes and methods in this case) to make it easier for people to use them? To make them more obvious?
Introduction to Perl one-liners
This is the introduction Peteris Krumins added to his recently published e-book about one-liners.
Many people, especially beginners and managers expect you to write good code. Right at the beginning. That's not how most of us work. chromatic puts it quite right. There is a place for rewriting code. There is a place for refactoring. There is also a need for writing automated tests.
Simple Attribute-Based Template Exporting
chromatic wrote a plugin for Template::Toolkit which is, in his words, less ugly than Haml. Admittedly this is not the way how to write a TT plugin but it is an opportunity to show how to export functions using attributes.
A file download CGI script in Perl
Sinan Unur wrote a detailed description on how to create a file download script.
Web-Multitasking: Whos gonna work for the working man?
Sebastian Willing provides several strategies improving the performance of your web application. He also gives descriptive names to each one of them.
Removing Locale::Country::SubCountry from CPAN
Instead of trying to keep this information up to date manually, Ron Savage started to use the Wikipedia to scrape the information and store it in a local SQLite database. People quickly came to his help with suggestions to take over the module and pointers to other sources for the information he was missing.
On CPAN Namespaces: Urban Namespace Planning
Naming your children and your modules isn't easy. Joel Berger struggles with this (in public) while getting the help of many people. Beyond the specific issue, the question is what should the module name describe? The technology it implements? The problem it solves? Should it be some unrelated name, just to be nice and interesting?

Simulating multiple, lazy attributes

Jeff Ober put together a Perl module to access Reddit. It already has many parts such as posting a new article, voting, commenting and searching Reddit. It looks like something very useful for me. The funny thing is that on the TODO list you can see 'unit testing'. Oh well.
Christopher Frenz, the author of Pro Perl Parsing, has recently opened a blog showing Perl examples. This one is a small example on using the VirusTotal API to check if a file has viruses in it. I found a module on CPAN called VT::API that implements version 1.0 of the API while this examples is for version 2.0. I hope the CPAN module will be updated to the new version of the API... I can also imagine a command line tool using this code and later maybe even a GUI for it.

I love Perl 6 and if I can have something that is similar to it today, then... then the question, why is it not in wide-spread usage yet? Brad Gilbert recommeds to learn D.

Freeze Your Keys?
Sometimes circumstances take control of our lives. Not for the month of April for Dawn Groth. Dawn, a registered nurse and BCA board member, normally has great intentions to ride her bike, take the bus, carpool or walk as many places as possible, but sometimes she says "life just seems to be so busy and the next thing you know, I have ten minutes to be at an appointment or meeting and even though I'd rather use an active form of transportation, I have to drive my car to arrive on time". Now she plans ahead.
Starting April 1, Dawn committed to use active transportation and solidified her intentions by freezing her car keys in a bucket of water. The keys are now living at her friend's house, out of her melting reach. "It's been rather relaxing to not have a car, the only downside is the lack of ability to quickly go to the other side of town". As long as she plans ahead, life is doable. She carpools with her neighbors for shopping, rides the bus downtown for events, or rides her bike for her normal 4 mile commute to work and school.

Amazing Jump Over Six Camels (Video)OMG, Video — By Dave on 2011/01/14 8:46 AM
The sport of camel jumping is unique to Yemen, specifically along the Red Sea coastal region of Tihama. It consists of a row of camels lined up side by side. Contestants sprint down a track at full tilt and deftly leap over the row of camels Evel Knievel-style. Starting with a single camel, additional camels are added as the contest progresses. Whoever can clear the most camels is declared victorious.

The boys in the back room at German company Glashütte Original have done a masterful job at sculpting the skeletonized version of their Manual Winding Senator to make its inner workings clear as day. It's 42 millimeters of hand-wound, see-through, 18k red gold bliss.
Breakdown: Glashütte Original Senator Manual Winding Skeletonized Edition
Lighting the Way
Timekeeping: Schofield Signalman
When we think of fine watches, our minds automatically shift to thoughts of the quaint villages and alpine vistas of Switzerland, or, increasingly, to Germany's Glashütte region, where brands like A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original hail. But what of merry old England? Given that some of the most renowned figures in horology have…

Timekeeping: Guide to German Watches
Ask the average guy where the best watches in the world are made and he will undoubtedly say, "Switzerland." After all, most of the recognizable brands like Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex and Patek Philippe hail from that neutral Alpine nation. It is partly the neutrality of Switzerland that has allowed these great names of horology…

A conservative firebrand who recently finished second in a major straw poll of possible Republican presidential candidates was in Montgomery Wednesday night.
Dr. Ben Carson, a retired neuro-surgeon and current best selling author and Fox News commentator, signed copies of his latest book, "One Nation: What we can all do to save America's future," at the Eastchase Books-A-Million.
A few hundred people were there waiting for him.
Carson first came into the public eye in 1987 when he led a team of surgeons in separating conjoined twins who were joined at the back of the head.
He retired last year and has since become a darling of the far right and a regular on Fox News.
His ascension in conservative political circles has not come without controversy. Last year he said Obamacare was the worst thing to happen to this country since slavery, and this year he said America is very much like Nazi Germany.
Doctor Carson is returning to Montgomery in October. He will be the keynote speaker at Faulkner University's annual benefit dinner.
Tickets are still available.

Village Jazz Series
Village Jazz Series Returns to Yuma Palms in 2015
The Village Jazz Series is back for its 9th season(!) in the Village Area of Yuma Palms Regional Center. The series of free jazz concerts will run Thursday evenings, 6 to 8pm, January 15 through April 30.
Check back later to find the full schedule of performers. As always, there will be a mix of nationally known artists and outstanding local and regional musicians. Varied musical styles will be presented by groups from big band to duo, season pros to talented students. And of course, one of the big 'plusses' will continue to be the venue itself - the inviting Village Area of Yuma Palms - with its lights, palm trees, water features and grass. Not to mention the handy eateries and shops - all under the starry Yuma sky! Each event makes for an exceptional evening out, and for so many (including me), the Series just can't start soon enough!

Initial Problems
Wordpress by design is very MySQL orientated, for the most part this is good thing, but when trying to switch to another database for it there can be complications. An attempt has been made to create a plugin to use Drizzle, but unfortunately it has side-effects such as modifying your content if you happen to blog about anything related to MySQL or Drizzle. For the purposes of this blog post I have create a patch and will give instructions on how to use it below. If any Wordpress guru has a way to make this into a good plugin, please get in touch!
Conversions Needed
Almost all the conversions for Wordpress 3.1 revolve around the date. When creating a draft or any other table entry Wordpress uses the date '0000-00-00' in several columns. In Drizzle we try to be closer to the SQL standards, and this means that the first valid date is '0001-01-01'. A large majority of the patch is this particular conversion for the queries throughout the PHP code. The rest is to do with schema creation, to be specific:
- Drizzle has no LONGTEXT, TINYTEXT, etc... Just TEXT
- Drizzle doesn't support multiple character sets, just UTF-8, so we need to drop the character set part of schema creation
The Patch
To patch your wordpress 3.1 source:
- Download the patch
- Enter the directory of your wordpress installation
- Run the following
patch -p1 < wordpress-drizzle.diff
You should now be good to run the install as normal. Noting that if you are not using the mysql-unix-socket-protocol plugin that you should tell Wordpress to connect to '127.0.0.1' for a local database instead of 'localhost'.
Converting an Installtion
If you already have Wordpress 3.1 installed and using MySQL the patch combined with drizzledump's migration function should still work but I have not tried this, so please backup first before attempting it.

The top two Decatur seeds in the annual Sandy Koufax League post-season tournament were victorious Wednesday night although not without early challenges in their games.
The City of Decatur has been awarded $1,366,031 in federal funds to make major improvements to the E. Monroe St. and Piqua Road area, Mayor John Schultz announced at Tuesday night's city council meeting.
Called the E. Monroe St. project, the work will involve new pavements and curbs, improved drainage and repaving.
The city will have to provide a 20 percent match of approximately $340,000, which will make it a $1.7 million project..
Decatur apparently is going to be the site next month of a tent revival meeting.
Rev. Jim Splawn of Huntington, representing himself and city resident Susan Osborne, told city council on Tuesday night that he would like to hold a tent revival meeting on the vacant area off Seventh St. between the city fire station and the old depot.
According to Osborne, tent revivals were held there many years ago.
MONROE—The HME Crushers lived up to their name Tuesday night in the play-in round of the double-elimination Sandy Koufax League tournament by smashing 12 hits, four of which were for extra bases, and easily defeated the Bluffton Parks team, 18-2.
The Crushers tallied five in the first, four in the second, seven in the third, and then polished the game off with two in the fourth.
If the State of Indiana doesn't wreak havoc with Decatur's 2012 budget, city employees will be getting raises of $1,000 each after going without increases this year and last.
Insurance changes are coming, though, with only some employees to be affected by higher costs.
The passing on Tuesday of the deadline for filing petitions of candidacy for the November 8 general election left just one contested race to be determined in Decatur, but presented voters with a nearly full slate of candidates in Berne.
Voters in Decatur will have only one seat to fill. Incumbent Barb Engle, a Democrat, will be challenged by Republican Cameron Collier for the at-large seat on Decatur City Council.
Decatur's Fourth of July celebration was a dandy, with ideal weather, a huge crowd, the well-deserved honoring of two deceased local men, and a great fireworks show.
There was one a hitch, though, and it was a major one: problems with the sound system.
Chief celebration organizer Adam Eguia attended Tuesday night's city council meeting to issue plenty of praise and thanks, and to address problems with the sound system.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony was found not guilty Tuesday of killing her 2-year-old daughter in a case that captivated the nation as it played out on national television from the moment the toddler was reported missing three years ago.
Anthony, 25, wept as the judge read the verdict, which jurors reached after less than 11 hours of deliberation over two days. She was charged with first-degree murder, which could have brought the death penalty if she had been convicted.
The second annual Decatur Baseball Association skills contest, for boys ages 7 through 12, will be held on Wednesday, July 6, with registration starting at 5:15 p.m.
The Clemente (7-8) group will compete at 6 p.m., the Mays (9-10) group at approximately 6:45, and the Reese (11-12) group at approximately 7:30 p.m.
Players should register as early as possible, or at least a half hour prior to competing.
The tourney draw for the Adams-Wells Koufax League published in Friday's Daily Democrat was apparently in error.
The correct draw was issued today by league officials. The tourney will begin today with two games at Worthman Field and two games at Don Ray Memorial Park in Monroe. There will be games tonight, Wednesday and Thursday, and games next week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
The slate, by day, is as follows:

Check(list) your privilege.
As a quite privileged man with 74/100 points, I feel like I shouldn't be allowed on tumblr
I made a "blog" where I take pictures of my food to force myself to think about it and also make it public so people can look at it and shame me.
Look/follow/make fun of it/whatever
The people with the loudest social media conscience conveniently forget that their iPhone is made by slave labor in China.
I'm pretty sure they're not literally slaves. Any worker who makes an iPhone is choosing to get a job in a factory.
Dear cespur/fuckyeahmypoliticalopinion,
I'd like to address each of your points in no particular order.
First, thank you for submitting a source for the statement you made in the original post. I agree that those working conditions appear egregious, especially the 2-year contracts/secrecy/69-hour shifts. This seems to be a problem with the Jabil Circuit primarily, although it is absolutely Apple's responsibility for their products being made in these conditions. Again, thank you for supplying a source. Without it, it seemed a little hyperbolic and overwrought.
Second, I'm not sure if you watched the video I linked to, but according to Ms. Chang's research and experience, most Chinese workers tend to move from bad rural living conditions, and the ones that she spoke to didn't seem to think about their life being particularly awful. I suppose if they weren't able to compare their lives to our luxurious existence of being snarky/angry on the internet, they might think that. That's a philosophical issue I'd rather not get into. In any case, it seems like the workers left rural China to pursue a better life, and in Apple's case, this life may not have been better. With respect to the video, it seems like this profession is not meant to be permanent, i.e. a little extra income before really settling down. I don't know, I haven't been, and am not incredibly familiar with this issue. Before reading your article, the attitude I read smacked of the "White Man's Burden", acting as if we know better than our darker neighbors and telling them what's best for them. No matter what you may think, in order for a Chinese citizen to get a factory job, they have to move to the city and apply for one, just like American citizens. We used to have shitty factories and working conditions (for all I know we still do) and I hope the Chinese conditions improve.
Third, I have occasionally been an asshole but hope it's not a permanent condition, and I can't dispute that I was being a smartass because of the attitude I perceived in your post (see second to last sentence in previous paragraph). My blog is not "about" pizza and being alone, but thank you for reading beyond my response! I am also a 24 year old male graduate student in astrophysics, and I assure you I have passed adolescence, although I suspect it would be inappropriate for me to attempt to prove this (and then you'd be all like "um you probably just googled for a picture of a penis").
I'm probably not going to convince you that I'm even partially correct (although I'll concede that to you). Still, I feel like we agree on more things than most (based on your blog that makes me laugh because I agree with most of your opinions), so hopefully I didn't ruin your day or anything.
Best regards,
The people with the loudest social media conscience conveniently forget that their iPhone is made by slave labor in China.
I'm pretty sure they're not literally slaves. Any worker who makes an iPhone is choosing to get a job in a factory.
but you know whatever you're probably right who am I, just some guy on the internet who googles things
the worst part about being alone is that it's hard to eat a whole pizza boli by yourself
This whole thing is so fucking wrong it hurts. Also this is the same website that has the following image on the homepage.
what a goddamn show
I received a perfect 5 from a reader in Philly, and after many minutes of attempting to download the video and place on Tumblr I just plain ol' give up. If you're in the mood for some feel good fun from Philly you're going to have to swing on over to our Facebook page and say Hi.

Concrete masonry blocks are widely used in North America and the world; however, production poses some environmental implications, specifically the depletion of natural resources and contribution to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Accordingly, methods to improve the sustainability of the industry need to be developed. The replacement of cement with post -consumer waste glass powder and/or the replacement of fine aggregate with post-consumer waste polymer in the production of concrete blocks are proposed as potential options to reduce the environmental impact of block production while maintaining adequate block performance.
The effect of using glass powder and polymers on the block and prism properties has been analyzed to determine the most effective implementation of these post-consumer waste materials. Physical properties, mechanical properties and alkali-silica reaction of the blocks and the mechanical properties of the prisms were tested. From the experimental program, it was determined that replacing Portland cement with waste glass powder up to 25% had no detrimental effect on the block and prism properties. Replacing the sand with polymer aggregate was found to have a detrimental impact on the strength of the block. The effect of adding up to 6% polymer aggregate as sand replacement on the prism mechanical properties was found to be minimal. The reduction in block compressive strength when polymer aggregates are used is attributed to the increase in the material's porosity.

Mid-East Bible Prophecy: Birth Pangs Pt 2 - Today's Christian Videos
2,042 views
Our weekly Middle East Bible Prophecy update. This week we talk about how the Bible says all these signs of the end times & of the Messiah (Christ) Jesus' return (which we see today in our headlines every day - Matthew Chapter 24 - wars, rumours of wars, false messiahs, earthquakes, famine, pestilience, false prophets, iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes cold, the gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the world) these are like birth pangs (or pains - labor pains). Is this prophecy coming true in our day? Is there a birth coming? If so what is being born? The apostle, Paul, also wrote,- For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. Rom 8:22 - It was prophecied by God in the Bible almost 2,000 years ago. This is part 1 of a 2 part video release. This teaching, along with all of JD's weekly Mid-East Bible Prophecy Updates, was originally presented & recorded on Sunday morning before our regular Sunday chapter by chapter & verse by verse Bible teaching. This one was recorded on February 17th of the year of our Lord 2008. These Teachings are also seen on Olelo & heard on KLHT radio 1040 AM or at www.klght.org or they are downloadable in there entirety from our web site.

"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. "And at that time many will fall away and will deliver up one another and hate
