Tour Objective: Last year, I helped organize the 2010 Summer for Marriage Tour with the National Organization for Marriage. Over the course of 30 days, we traveled more than 10,000 miles to spread a discriminatory message I once believed in to oppose same-sex marriage.
Ironically, it was that very summer tour that led me to change my mind and come to support marriage equality. This new tour will serve as a testimony to that change and will seek to spread two messages.
Firstly, that marriage equality is not an ideological issue. Too many see support for gay rights as strictly a liberal issue. That's a mistake. Supporting the constitutional rights of all citizens is a conservative issue, too.
Secondly, the tour will seek to demonstrate to conservative legislators across the country that more and more people are coming to support marriage equality. Eventually, that truth will start reflecting changes among conservatives, too. If I, an opinionated conservative can change my mind, it won't be long before many other conservatives do, too. Not to mention independents.
Signal boost! Folks, if you can donate to this, please do. This is Louis Marinelli, former organizer for NOM. He's attempting, as a conservative, to do a summer of equality tour that's similar to the NOM tour of 2010.
Read about Louis Marinelli's personal journey here.

Please, if you're religious, pray. If not, send positive energy to Laramie, Wyo. tonight. One of our GLBTQ community members needs your support. We fervently hope not to see another name on that tragic list of late. So please, just hope. Reblog this. I believe in the power of a community pulling for one person. Tonight, I am asking you for help on behalf of one person in Laramie, but I know there's many others out there - even tonight - feeling alone.
If there's any of you out there feeling alone tonight, you're not. We are in Laramie, but we are also everywhere. If you need to talk, reach out to the Tumblr community. I answer every message. Call the Trevor Project at 1-866-4-U-TREVOR. They also have LiveChat.
No more.
An eighth grader in the Houston area, Asher Brown, has committed suicide after being relentlessly bullied at school for being gay.
A US college student committed suicide the day after authorities say two fellow students surreptitiously recorded him having sex with a man in his dorm room and broadcast it over the internet. Tyler Clementi of New Jersey jumped off the George Washington Bridge, a lawyer for his family said. His body hasn't been recovered.
Seth Walsh, a student at Jacobsen Middle School in Tehachapi, Calif., was found unconscious and not breathing on Sept. 19 after he apparently tried to hang himself from a tree in his backyard, according to a police report obtained by The Bakersfield Californian. Friends said that Seth had been picked on for years because he was gay. He later passed away.
This has to stop.
Dear Anonymous Christian below,
THIS IS WHY I FUCKING POST ALL THAT GAY STUFF! Your hatred has real-life consequences. Look into the eyes of each person above for just a moment and remember, this person is DEAD. Fin. No more. All because of hatred.
This could be here, this could be anywhere…. No more.

A3 - D.I.Y. - Vol.06
"Do it Yourself" (or just DIY) is a term used to describe the creation, modification or repair of facilities without the assistance of paid professionals. For thousands of years, people have relied on their ability to create and modify things around. These abilities were prerequisite for the survival of humankind. However, professionalization of human activities and expanding division of labor in the 20th century, puts this constitutive human characteristic into question. The appearance of paid professionals in each area and consumer-oriented economy has made many people turn away from the principle of relying on their own abilities.
Throughout the 20th century there were groups that constantly resisted the culture of mass consumption. Particular cultural phenomenon happened with the punk movement in the 1970s. DIY ethics of the 70's produced a fanzine culture with detailed instructions on how to do some practical things, for example, how to make your own t-shirts, posters, zines, books, prepare food, etc.. In the last decade this phenomenon extended into computer science, or hacker culture, DIY Electronics and "open source" practices. People need to create. Buying what they like is just not sufficient. DIY ethics encourage the principle of self-reliance. It promotes the idea that every man should learn to do more than he or she thought possible.
29 young designers and artists from Serbia, Croatia and Hungary gathered on 15th and 16th January, 2011, for the first collaborative A3.Format DIY workshop in the Youth Center CK13 in Novi Sad. In these two days, the authors from Zagreb, Split, Osijek, Budapest, Kecskemét, Szeged, Hódmezővásárhely, Subotica, Sremska Mitrovica, Belgrade and Novi Sad exchanged experiences and met up with free software alternatives in the field of graphic design. Works that have emerged during this collaboration were inspired by the popular quotes on self-education, ethics, independence and self-reliance. Our goal was to show how much we are able to achieve in two days, using the free alternatives.
The theme of A3.Format "Do it Yourself" workshop was focused on research and exchange of knowledge in the field of graphic design through open-source software and cloud computing. In addition, a special space was left for manual drafting, photography and all manual interventions. The end result of the workshop is a collection of motivational A3 posters, in the shape of "A3.Format: DIY Vol.06" publication in printed and online form.

New York • Andrew Luck knows exactly where he's heading, and so does Robert Griffin III.
For the rest of the college stars preparing for the NFL draft Thursday night, the anxiety is building. Nobody is looking forward to the green room at Radio City Music Hall.
"It kind of made me a little nervous when we were talking to the commissioner and he said, 'You'll be back there for an hour and it'll feel like you've been back there for five days,'" Southern California tackle Matt Kalil said. "I'll be sweatin' up a storm back there, and I want to have my name called and not have to wait too long."
He shouldn't have to worry much about that. Most mock drafts project Kalil to go third overall to Minnesota after Luck heads to Indianapolis and Griffin to Washington. But he knows better than to put much stock in the predraft chatter.
"I stopped paying attention to all of that stuff," said Kalil, attending an NFL event at a playground in Manhattan. "No one really has a clue. Unless you're the GM of a team, you don't really know who a team is going to pick, so you just let it all play out."
That's the approach for the nearly two dozen other players who'll be at Radio City and have no idea when they might walk onto the stage, shake Commissioner Roger Goodell's hand and hold up the jersey of the team with which they'll start their professional career.
"For Luck and RGIII, they know what's going on and they know where they're going to live and all that kind of stuff," Alabama safety Mark Barron said. "A lot of us other guys, we're still wondering where we're going to be living for the next however many years."
Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor, is comforted by already knowing he'll be a member of the Redskins. But he thinks he might actually miss the draft-day jitters. Well, at least a little bit.
"It kind of puts yourself at ease," he said, "but it does kind of rob you of that natural draftee experience where you don't know where you're going and you're in limbo."
Added South Carolina defensive end Melvin Ingram: "Yeah, I guess that would be kind of different. You won't get that adrenaline of, 'Oh, man. I hope they pick me,' when you know where you're going."
Luck will go No. 1 overall to Indianapolis after a terrific career at Stanford. Like Griffin, he is also expected to step right into a starting job as a rookie.
"I guess it's nice, but there's always competition in football and if I go out there and lay an egg and I'm not the best quarterback out there, I hope they don't start me," Luck said. "I'm excited, though. I'm going to go out there and hopefully play, obviously, and put my best foot forward and enjoy all the guys."
Luck, the son of former NFL quarterback Oliver Luck, acknowledged that it was a "relief" to know he'll be going to the Colts — even if they're starting from scratch after they released Peyton Manning.
"Obviously, the slate has been wiped somewhat clean with some new coaches and some players who have gone or left, but I'll try to come in there and work as hard as I can," Luck said. "If that means it's a rebuilding process, I guess you can label it as that. The guys I'm sure are working very hard and I just want to get out there and join them."
After Luck and Griffin, Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill is expected to be the next quarterback taken — possibly eighth overall by Miami, where he'd be reunited with Mike Sherman. The new Dolphins offensive coordinator was Tannehill's head coach the last four years.
"If I did happen to go there, it would be good," said Tannehill, who would compete with starter Matt Moore. "It would give me some familiarity with the offense, so I think it would help ease the transition a little bit."
Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon will likely be the first wide receiver picked, possibly as high as No. 4 by Cleveland. Notre Dame's Michael Floyd, Georgia Tech's Stephen Hill and Baylor's Kendall Wright are other receivers who might go in the opening round.
"It's a great time to come into the league if you are a receiver," said Blackmon, a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as college football's top receiver. "More teams are throwing the ball a lot more, it's more wide open than ever on offense."
Other players who could be top-10 picks are Ingram, Alabama running back Trent Richardson, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples.
After winning the national championship in January, Alabama could be a big winner in the opening round. Crimson Tide teammates Barron, Richardson, linebackers Courtney Upshaw and Dont'a Hightower, and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick could all hear their names called Thursday night.
"This is a great experience, especially when you have a team where we came from," Richardson said. "All these guys are going to the draft and we're all going to be in the first round. Alabama set the bar high last year when they had four come out and all four went in the first round. Hopefully we can break that record and have five."

Easy DIY: Turn Those Corks into Candles
A Subtle Revelry
There are a million and one things to do with saved wine corks, but we've never seen this one before. Turn those party leftovers into party mood setters with this super easy DIY.
Victoria from A Subtle Revelry soaked natural corks in acetone alcohol (found in the first aid section of pharmacies) and then lit them. Results: anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes of corky candlelight. A fun project, but not exactly a reliable light source, so have other candles handy.

i have to say it scares me a little
The idea seems strange to me as well, I imagine a strange smell coming of it and not being very effective lighting source. Curious to see if fellow AT users have tried it.
2 - 20 minutes? It just doesn't seem worth doing when you're already busy talking, filling wine glasses, watching the oven, etc.
Acetone, the place will smell like a dry cleaners.
Acetone? Isn't that what they put in nail polish remover?
SO many problems with this idea, I don't know where to start. Just buy beeswax candles or those gel cartridges if you want a larger flame.
I find this odd. Corks can be recycled.
The acetone smell actually burned off and wasn't an issue at all. However, some of my readers commented they tried the idea with natural oils and it worked equally as well. One reader even used scented oils - think lavender for outdoors or sage for inside.
so clever and no dripping wax...I have to try!
Too much effort for too little return, and that charred cork is none too attractive.
Without the acetone, it's very appropriate for Halloween. Cool for a spooky themed party/dinner
Isn't cork an "endangered" product? In our area, where a lot of wine is made, nearly every store has a cork recycle program and it's always being talked about as being important. But I dunno....either way, I'd still use a candle.
Nah, cork is sustainable and a good, environmentally-sound material for building and fashion.
But of course, it's great to go further and recycle the wine corks rather than toss them, which is what many of us did before those store recycling programs. :-) You can only use so many wine cork bulletin boards...
Pretty sure burnt cork is very toxic- a carcinogen.
Thank you Susan for that info.
I just always seem to have....so many corks. I wonder how that happens?
I need to buy better wine. My latest bottles had those synthetic corks.
Cork is wood, so it's just as carcinogenic as wood being burnt, ie. not that much if you're in a ventilated area. My concern is cracking the holder when the flame burns down. But the author did say it was a fun project, just unreliable.
The photo is an accident waiting to happen. Who would have a jar of alcohol with corks soaking siting right next to a lite cork. I'm going to have to call a safety card on this one. Please don't try this indoors.
Acetone absorbs readily through the skin, the vapours are easily inhaled, and it is highly carcinogenic. Unless you were going to do this wearing gloves in a well ventilated area (such as on a porch), I wouldn't do this. The picture showing an open mason jar full of acetone; while a nice composition, it is not particularly safe indoors.
I realize that acetone is one of the main ingredients in conventional nail polish remover, but believe it or not it is not something you would want to be getting on your hands repeatedly (such as when you're fishing the next cork out). There is a reason why companies are making acetone free options, even though acetone is an extremely effective varnish remover. I would suggest googling the material safety data sheet for it.
They took the acetone out of nail polish remover because meth addicts use it to make meth.
this is one of the most foolish DIYs i have ever seen.
and no, ome, "they" did not take the acetone out of nail polish remover.
@ome - check your facts before spreading misinformation. Acetone is still used as the primary ingredient in polish remover. Changing the composition wouldn't matter anyway because you can buy acetone by the gallon at your local home improvement store for less than the smaller version at the drug store.
To the topic at hand - I don't know where to start. First, acetone is a ketone and not an alcohol. I have to agree that the idea is foolish at best since acetone is highly volatile and cork is naturally fire resistant. Dripping acetone on your table could remove the finish or degloss it.
Just one more example of lifestyle bloggers scrounging around for content. Next up: newspaper candles! Candles made out of sticks! Dip a carrot in acetone for a cute Easter candle!
The safety concerns would overshadow any reason to try it. Agree with whoever said this is an accident waiting to happen. Unreliable, unstable and least of all unattractive.
ooopsy sorry, for some reason I heard that somewhere, maybe it was in the making and never went threw, but they do make nail polish remover without acetone though. Hope I didn't ruin anybody's day.
Not sure I want to try this one.
Lol, you didn't ruin MY day, but funnily enough, with the huge surge in gel nail polish and longer lasting formulas for manicures, pure acetone is much easier to find all over because that's what you soak your nails in to remove those formulas.
I've been seeing pure acetone even in the grocery store, so if it's a meth ingredient, it's not being regulated in California. ;)
Thanks surfjack

How to stop rust under grips?

How to stop rust under grips?
I have a stainless Redhawk .44. The frame under the grips is slightly pitted from rust. I take the grips off and clean under them a coupple times a year (the gun only sees the light of day a coupple times a year). Each time, there is new rust.
Is it possible that the wood soaked up enough hand sweat salt to have a "salt wood" effect? Should new grips be in my future or is there something I can do to stop the rust?

Hematopoiesis is the generation of all the cells of the blood - white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Cytokines and other hematopoietic growth factors are involved in specific steps of hematopoiesis.
These are generally glycoproteins acting in low concentrations, and are produced by stromal cells, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
Growth factors often act specifically, but they can also affect more than one lineage in similar or different ways. They can act synergistically or additively.
stem cell factor
infants: bone marrow of almost all bones
adults: vertebrae, ribs, sternum, skull, sacrum, pelvis, and end of femurs. There is progressive fatty replacement of marrow in other areas.
Fatty marrow is capable of reverting to hematopoiesis if necessary. The liver and spleen can also resume extramedullary hematopoiesis in some situations.
Erythropoiesis is controlled primarily by erythropoietin, but also GM-CSF, IL3, and IL11. Erythropoietin is released from kidney peritubular interstitial cells in response to oxygen levels.
Cell cytoplasm changes from a deep basophilic RNA-rich substance to a substance
3-4 x 109 EBC/kg are made each day.
RBCs survive an average of 120 days.
Erythropoiesis takes place in erythroid islands containing macrophages, which contain the iron the RBCs need and also eat the nuclei.
Reticulocytes leave the marrow and mature into RBCs.
Platelets live for 10 days, and 2-3 x109 platelets per kg are formed daily.
Thrombopoietin, the key mediator of platelet production, is produced in liver. GM-CSF, IL3, IL6, EPO are also involved.
As megakaryocytes grow, they become large and multinucleated. Nuclear division happens without cell division.
Platelet maturation follows various steps:
Neutrophils mature over 5-7 days in the bone marrow and circulate for 7-10 hours before migrating into tissues. There they die within 48 hours.
Key regulatory factors: G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-3
As granulocytes mature, nuclei segmentate, and cells acquire primary, then secondary granules.
1-2 x109 granulocytes per kg are formed daily.
the left shift, which is an expansion of circulating neutophil precursors, is most commonly caused by infection. TNF and IL-1 stimulate production of G-CSF, GM-CSF, and M-CSF, leading to release of neutrophil precursors into the blood.
B cells mature within the bone marrow. Key factors include: IL3, IL7, IL2, IL4, and others.
T cells mature into thymocytes in the bone marrow, then migrate to the thymus where they fully mature. Key factors include: IL3, IL7, IL2, IL4, and others.
Stages of maturation are defined by surface antigen:
B cells: Cd19, CD20, surface Ig
T cells: CD3, CD2, CD5, CD7, CD4, CD8, TCR
NK cells: CD56, CD16, CD2
During maturation, VDJ recombination occurs, allowing for tremendous variability but also predisposing for malignancy.
Burkitt's lymphoma: IgH/c-myc translocation - t(8;14)
follicular lymphoma: Bcl-2/IgH translocation - t(14;18)
M-CSF is the key factor in the development of monocytes.

City Lights Radiance Perfecting Cream Review
What is the new skin lightener everyone's talking about?
It's City Lights Radiance Cream. City Lights is a new skin brightening cream that has women raving! Women are saying this is the cream to use to remove dark spots, sun spots and age spots. Others claim this cream completely transformed their appearance giving them a look that makes their skin "glow".
We wanted to know what makes City Lights so effective and what we found was nothing short of extraordinary! City Lights is one of the only lightening creams on the market to use all three of the power-packed ingredients Alpha Arbutin, Octadecendioic Acid, and Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract.
These ingredients have all been proven in multiple studies to dramatically lighten the skin, remove dark spots, age spots and acne scaring. City Cosmetics really stepped out on a limb to use all three of these ingredients. Most lighteners only pick one as these are not cheap and any formula using them must cost big bucks to produce.
What are users are saying? One woman claims this is like "a glow that seems to be coming from under her skin," she claims that after using it, all blemishes and imperfections were gone and skin took on a more youthful and radiant appearance. Another user claims she has lots of dark spots from acne scarring and they were significantly lighter after only 5 days of use. Other users say this cream made their skin "more luminous" and "less oily."
What's our take?
We've looked at a lot of skin lightening creams and we can honestly say many of them do not deliver.. You know the ones! Other creams get reports of not only being ineffective, but some of them even burn when applied! One cream even left women with red burn marks on her face! Not Good!
Seeing such an effective skin lightening cream hit the market sure is refreshing. It seems these days good products are few and far between.
If you are looking for a skin lightener that has amazing user feedback this is the one to use.
City Lights Radiance Cream can is available exclusively online and can be found on their website at CityCosmetics.com

These and other aspects of lunar activity will be explored as part of a free program presented by park volunteer Patricia Shaw at 5:00 pm on Saturday, January 26, 2013, at the Huffman Prairie Interpretive Center, located at Wright Brothers Hill on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Shaw will provide tips on keeping track of the moon throughout the changing seasons and will explore moon phases, daytime moon sighting, crescent moons, and what causes an eclipse. If the weather is clear, the program will culminate with a chance to observe the rise of winter's full "Wolf Moon". In the event of bad weather, the program will be held on Sunday, January 27 at 6:00 pm. We invite you to deepen your connections with the world around us and with our nearest satellite. The program is open to the public and is free of charge. For more information please contact the park at 937-225-7705.

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- The first release of November is another feature called "The Bachelorette"". In the opening sequence , director Axel Braun warns you: "Getting ready to watch another porn movie? You'll be disappointed...". Words of wisdom from the multi-talented, world-renowned Mr. Braun, as this feature is indeed different.
The story is simple: A conservative young woman (newcomer Rebecca Starr) finds herself caught in a whirlpool of sexual situations just the day before her long-awaited wedding. The cast features Carolyn Monroe and Rebecca Star, and also includes Dynamite, Allysin Chaynes, Patrixxx, Nacho Vidal, Steve Wilcox, John West, and Nasty Timmy. "The Bachelorette" was released on November 12, 2002.

This edition of Sodomania is a showcase featuring different directors.Patrick Collins starts Sodomania .38 Special off with an explosive scene featuring the delectable Roxanne Hall in her first appearance in three years; the awesome and nasty Felicia who takes it in the ass like a trooper... And gives it as well!; along with the breathtaking Sophie Evans, and a sizzling oriental gash guzzler named Jade (a former Australian Penthouse Cover Girl).
It was an all/girl fetish scene with sado-masochistic overtones. "This scene was more Bruce Seven than me, from the olive oil to the ass slamming it was like he was there." said Collins about the scene. "!" Paulo Banana adds his undeniable talent to this video in a scene that he shot with Belladonna, Calli Cox, and Dillon Day. Calli is getting married soon, she confides to her girl friend Bella that although the photo/video guy she hired is very good; his prices are a bit to high for her budget at the moment. Calli wants to go by his office and renegotiate the price, Bella offers to tag along, adding that she may be able to help ..."The scene was intense, the talent very playful and I was lucky to get BellaDonna!" says Paulo.
Director Parker Schurman takes over the reins with a fetish scene starring Taylor St. Claire, Brittney Skye, and Marty Romano. Mr. Chris gives us a new look at a Filthy Firstimer, Mad Maxxx, brings us a D.P with Brandi Lyons getting reamed, and includes Judy Star in a voyeuristic masturbation role. Yanni, brings up the rear with an extra steamy scene starring Judy Star and Brett Rockman. Look for a release date of November 19, 2002 for "Sodomania .38 Special" .
Internally Yours 3, which has already received rave reviews, and has been picked as Editors Choice in Adam Film World Magazine for February 2003, is called by Jeremy Stone "One of the best gonzo movies of the year, or any year!. It's Erotic Rating: "Brutally Volcanic!!!!" an all internal cumshot movie directed by well-known female director Mason and her directing cohort William H., this movie blazes a trail through the typical plethora of adult films on the market and guarantees to suck you into a place that you will not easily forget. Internally Yours 3 stars Daisy, Aurora Snow, Judy Star, Fujiko Cano,Sophie Evans, TT Boy, Toni Ribas, Wesley Pipes, Devlin Weed, and Jay Ashley and is scheduled for a November 21 release date.

E-Chievement Award: Ron Manganiello
In this encore broadcast/podcast, eTown heads East for a show in Baltimore at the gloriously beautiful Hippodrome Theater. Joining us are two talented artists who've been with us before: Moby and Suzanne Vega. Since releasing his first single 'Go' in 1991, Moby has become a household name; so far he's sold over 20,000,000 record copies of his music worldwide! He's a socially/environmentally aware, soulful guy to be sure and he's also funny as can be (don't miss Nick's conversation with him!) Musically, this is a special, musically pared down acoustic set for Moby. Suzanne Vega also takes the stage, with her friend and guitarist Gerry Leonard. A leading figure in the folk music revival of the 1980′s, she has continued to write great songs and has performed around the world to rave reviews. Tune in for all this, plus an uplifting E-Chievement Award story, this week, in eTown.

Face Care - Priori Gentle Face Cleanser
This stuff is amazing.
It comes out as a soft, velvety lather and removes everything - oil, makeup, etc etc.
Your skin feels so so nice afterwards.
A bit pricey, but worth it. Its one of my newest and best essentials.
Since I have combination skin, this caters for my face's needs magnificently - moisturizes the drier areas while taking care of and removing the oil from my T-zone.
You can feel the difference after one use, your face is much more softer and refined and looks much fresher overall.
I would recommend this.

Well it seems to me as if everyone I know nowadays has a Tumblr account, so I thought, "Oh hell, I may as well!"
I may not be on this every day of the week, but I will try. School and home are higher priorities. I may give a website a go and stick with it at least for a while.
Well, I tidied my room today - I thought I'd sort of let you know. :) I now have my zig zag plant back in my room and I'm ecstatic about it!
It really is getting late, so I will have to say goodnight.

Python Singleton mixin class
Here's a quite complete Singleton mixin class for Python, including such niceties as thread safety for singleton creation. Public domain. Based in part on ideas I found on this wiki page, followed by a substantial number of enhancements based on comments posted below and based on my own additional needs. If you find it useful and think of ways to improve it, please post a comment here.
Lately I've noticed some discussion of the evilness of singletons. One poster says:
It's almost impossible to subclass a Singleton, and if you manage it, then you shouldn't have been using a Singleton in the first place. You don't *even* want to go there. I've walked roads that I dare not recount. Just pretend you can't do it, and you'll save yourself amazing amounts of pain.
My singleton mixin source includes unit tests showing that at least rudimentary subclassing does work with the approach used here. I haven't run into any problems in real life either, although I use singletons sparingly.
If anyone has examples or thoughts about problems with subclassing with this mixin, please post a comment.
Update, July 28, 2009: Now optionally allows multiple calls to getInstance() which all include arguments. See the docstring for more. Update, July 27, 2009: I try to keep the Singleton version here in sync with our svn version, so that any enhancements or fixes will be included. The code, still at the original link (above), has been modified today to add thread safety for singleton creation, and also incorporates ideas from some of the recent comments people have posted here. In particular, singleton construction can now handle keyword arguments.

Here's one from Michele Simionato that uses metaclasses:
class Singleton(type):
def __init__(cls,name,bases,dic):
def __call__(cls,*args,**kw):
if cls.instance is None:
return cls.instance
class C:
Posted by: Doug at Mar 11, 2004 5:31:11 PM
That's really interesting! I haven't used metaclasses yet. I'm going to look them up for the first time because of the above comment. I may have more to say after I do...
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Mar 12, 2004 4:01:13 PM
I now use metaclasses in my singleton class, still linked to at the same link. They help!
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Jun 8, 2004 5:13:24 PM
Not a sw engineer myself but think that this example of Singleton is very neat:
Posted by: Lorenzo at Sep 27, 2004 1:43:46 PM
Hey, that _is_ really neat. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't have time now to consider its pros and cons in depth re more traditional singletons. I'll probably add a comment here when I do. In the meantime, I suggest anyone who is looking for a singleton and ends up on this page to check out the link posted in the previous comment. It really refers to the so-called "Borg" pattern, which not really a standard Singleton, but more of an alternative to a Singleton.
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Sep 27, 2004 3:43:31 PM
I do have one reflection now. I think that using the Borg pattern is less self-documenting than using the Singleton pattern, and not only because it is different from what people think of when they think of the properties of a Singleton, but also because it creates Python objects that don't work the way Python objects normally work (they don't normally share state).
I think those objections could be worked around in an actual program by using a standard naming convention for Borg classes, supplying documentation, and making sure everyone understands it. Whether it would be worth it or not, I don't know.
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Sep 28, 2004 9:37:22 AM
With Gary's permission I have begun using his code in an embryonic accounting package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/transactionsafe). The simplicity of using it for my classes impressed me no end, and so far it has made the development of this week's release easier.
I'm a very new python user, and the main thing that scared off the borg pattern was that I couldn't work out how to ensure the object state was initialised only once. In my case I have singletons depending on other singletons to provide a data model for the application and an observer pattern set-up between them. This singleton pattern was easy to integrate with my code and to understand the rammifications of.
Posted by: Benjamin Carlyle at Sep 28, 2004 10:31:44 AM
One note, nobody needs my permission to use singletonmixin.py, which benefited from a lot of input from other people. (I would appreciate it, though, if you provide a link to this Web page and a comment here if you use it, however!)
I'm glad you are finding it useful, Benjamin!
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Sep 28, 2004 11:04:09 AM
I want to use your singleton class to build a DB object, but I'm not so sure how to do it. Is it possible? If it is, could you please provide an example of how doing this (when you have some time of course). Thanks.
Regards, Douglas
Posted by: Douglas at Dec 30, 2004 7:21:32 AM
Hi Gary. While this looks like the most well thought out Singleton implementation I've found in Python, I'm having trouble making it work. To wit:
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jan 5 2005, 08:24:51)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-5)] on linux2
>>> from singletonmixin import Singleton
>>> class Foo(Singleton):
... pass
>>> m = Foo.getInstance()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in ?
File "singletonmixin.py", line 78, in getInstance
if len(lstArgs) != cls._getConstructionArgCountNotCountingSelf():
File "singletonmixin.py", line 91, in _getConstructionArgCountNotCountingSelf
return cls.__init__.im_func.func_code.co_argcount - 1
AttributeError: 'wrapper_descriptor' object has no attribute 'im_func'
I don't understand the inner workings of metaclasses well enough to quickly fix this, so could you shed some light on what the problem might be?
Steve Freitas
Posted by: Steve Freitas at Jan 17, 2005 3:30:19 PM
I hadn't thought about this earlier, but it looks like you need to have a constructor for your class, even if that constructor is empty. The following version works with no problems:
>>> class Foo(Singleton):
... def __init__(self):
... pass
>>> m = Foo.getInstance()
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Jan 17, 2005 3:41:53 PM
I really like this implementation!!
About the lstArgs in getInstance, it seems it doesn't handle defaults :(
I wonder if anyone has a solution for it, or should I get rid of the error checking?!?!
I found out I can check the amount of defaults with .im_func.func_defaults, but then the number of args can vary, what makes it more complicated...
Posted by: Michal Eldar at May 17, 2005 6:31:28 PM
Thanks Michal for pointing this out. It's fixed in the latest version, uploaded today.
Posted by: Gary Robinson at May 31, 2005 4:21:13 PM
I found your singleton really useful, but I made some modifications to it. Biggest is that I made getInstance ignore its args if the object was already constructed (rather than throw an exception saying "It's already constructed, your arguments are meaningless"). The reason is because in this application, I'm unable to construct the object until late in the program, and I didn't want to have to check in the main code whether the singleton had already been instantiated, and pass args accordingly. (Note that there's no public way to check if the thing has been instantiated anyhow.)
Secondly, I changed the MetaSingleton.__call__ function to just delegate the call to cls.getInstance, in other words, re-enabled the S() constructor. At this point, getInstance already takes arguments, so it behaves pretty much like a constructor anyhow. I, the developer, knew that I was using a singleton in these situations, and thought it was silly to force use of one function to construct/get an instance versus another.
Thanks again.

Hi Gary, we're now using the singleton mixin in our internal VR code, espace - and the key reason is that it comes with unit tests ;-) Thanks for releasing this little gem with no strings atttached. I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet up.
Posted by: Darran Edmundson at May 8, 2006 2:22:19 AM
Thanks for posting this nice singleton code-- it's exactly what I needed for a project I am working on.
I did have to modify the code: I had a class with a keyword default argument in the constructor getInstance() didn't work. I used the im_func.func_defaults trick posted above.
Thanks again,
Posted by: Marcus Goldfish at Jun 25, 2006 8:03:26 PM
Is this broken in Python 2.5? PyDev is flagging it with errors and I'm having trouble getting it to work.

Posted by: DDT-WEBKINZ at Oct 22, 2007 8:42:08 PM
Thanks for this great utility. I ran into a problem with it since I have a class that takes keyword args, and the arity check was failing. I've updated the code to handle this case by taking both *args and **kwargs and invoking __init__ with them. This changes the exception that is raised when the specified args aren't sufficiently specified, so the unit test also changed to reflect that.

Posted by: Lonnie Hutchinson at Jul 22, 2009 12:07:05 PM
Thanks Lonnie, Michal, and Marcus for mentioning the issue with keyword arguments, and especially to Lonnie for posting code!
The final version takes most of Lonnie's changes, but still checks to make sure that necessary args are included in the instantiating call to getInstance() by raising a SingletonException. It does this by checking for the TypeError Lonnie put into the unit test, but additionally checking the exception message to see if it corresponds to the missing arguments error. (A different technique than Michal and Marcus used.)
I'll mention here something I mentioned also in the update to the main post: the code now should be threadsafe for singleton creation. Of course your Singleton class may not itself be threadsafe; I can only control the creation!
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Jul 27, 2009 10:43:48 PM
Made an additional update to deal with Ethan's issue where he wanted to be able to call getInstance() multiple times with args, where the args are ignored in calls other than the first. To enable this functionality, just include
ignoreSubseqent = True
in the class definition.
Posted by: Gary Robinson at Jul 28, 2009 8:41:02 AM
Here is my favorite singleton implementation. It serves me quite well and is fluidly heritable:
class Singleton(object): instance = None def __new__(cls): if cls.instance is None: i = object.__new__(cls) cls.instance = i else: i = cls.instance return i

This past weekend I enjoyed the last gasp of winter at Stratton Mountain Ski Resort. The conditions were great due to a fresh batch of snow that dumped down the week prior.
It took us five hours to get there from New York City, with some GPS "recalculating" detours getting onto Route 17. The half-day weekend lift tickets plus rental came to $102 per day. Booking online saves about $5.
The mountain was filled with a healthy mix of skiers, snowboarders and families. My favorite run on the mountain was Black Bear (blue) to Runaway (green) to Daniel Webster (green).
Next weekend Stratton is hosting the US Open Snowboarding Championships sponsored by Burton. We saw some solid jumps in construction.
There are only a few weekends left in the season and lift ticket prices have dropped for March, so now is the time to go before global warming melts all the snow!

Wintersculpt at Wintersköl sure beats the sand castle contests at the Jersey Shore.
"Buddha, Seize the Summit of Your Happiness" won second place.
"Snow Cat" won first place. (I personally think Buddha should have won.)
Anderson Ranch Arts Center selects 5 teams to participate in this intense 48 hour snow sculpture competition.
Teams often work around the clock on Thursday and Friday of the event to transform their 8' x 8'x 8' snow cubes into freestanding creations.
By Saturday afternoon, the completed sculptures are judged by a panel of independent community members based on creativity, technical execution, and compliance to rules.

Today is #Autism Awareness day - April 2nd 2012
Today is a very special day. Today is Autism Awareness Day - a day dedicated to raising awareness and celebrating the people whose lives are touched by autism.
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. Mozart, Einstein and Andy Warhol are among those famously believed to have had the condition.
Autism is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways. However most importantly, they are just everyone else. They have the same desires, the same joys and the same fears.
1 in 88 children – or 1.1 percent of the [U.S.] population — have been identified as having some form of autism spectrum disorder. (According to data released last week by the U.S. CDC)
55% of people with autism are bullied at school or college, according to figures from the National Autistic Society Cymru. On World Autism Awareness Day they are highlighting the problem to raise awareness of the condition and help prevent bullying.
So take a moment today, and think about the millions of people worldwide who have autism.

text: On the west side of the parking area, take the trail for Cuberant Lake. At the trail junction, go right. At 0.9 miles, the trail drops into Reids Meadow where springs flow across the trail, creating small pools. From the meadow you see Bald Mountain on the left and Reids Peak on the right. Leaving the meadow the trail turns north and climbs to the trail junction for Cuberant Lake. If you decide to visit the lake, its an extra 1.5 mile hike to get there. After your decision, go right at the junction and the trail becomes steeper to Kamas Lake, which is 1.7 miles into the hike. Leaving the lake, you enter a meadow with ponds and make your way up to a north-side viewpoint of the Uintas. As you stand at the viewpoint, you see Cutthroat Lake below. The trail turns southeast up a boulder field with a number of switchbacks. At the top of the boulders, the trail smooths out into a high meadow. At 2.5 miles you arrive at Lofty Lake. From the lake you enter a boulder field leading to the highest point of the hike. The trail switchbacks down into the view as you make your way to Scout Lake. As you come to a trail junction, go right and take the Pass Lake Trail for Picturesque Lake, completing your loop. Recreation Pass: $3.00/day, $6.00/week, or $25.00/year A Mirror Lake Recreation Pass is required for vehicles parked within the Mirror Lake Fee area. Driving through is free.

Outfitted with Krell amplifiers, Wilson Audio speakers in the front and Snell speakers in the back, this home theater easily blows listeners' socks off. Add a drum set to the room, and the noise generated in the room could have rocked the entire house, especially the living room which sits directly below it. But by adding sound isolation materials to the walls and floors, this room can rock out without bothering anyone. Remarkably, the space that's now the theater used to be part of the living room. Blessed with a ceiling 20-feet high, the upper portion of the living room was virtually unused, which inspired the homeowners to cut vertical scale of the room in half and construct a completely new room for their home entertainment needs.
In addition to awesome audio components, the room boasts a high-definition InFocus DLP video projector, a 100-inch screen from Stewart Filmscreen, a Lutron lighting control system, an Integra DVD/DVD-A/SACD/CD player, a JVC VCR a DirecTV satellite receiver with TiVo and an AMX touchscreen to control all the equipment.
Custom-made carpeting and five CinemaTech theater seats complete the effect.

Historically, the Gold Coast of Ghana was known for the trade of Gold, and later
slaves. The focus of this website will be to look at the present day Gold coast
specifically as a fishing village, a tourist attraction and the culture along the
coast itself.
Cape Coast is located in the central region of Ghana along the Gulf of Guinea. Today
it is comprised of the largest fishing market in Ghana where there is a clear division
of labor as well as a routine daily life. The coast is also the home of Elmina and
Cape Coast slave castles which show the history of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Lastly, the coast is comprised of a culture which has specific traditions, a reliance
on sales and a diverse religion. All of this can be found throughout our website

and womens studies major, Regis Rollins a buisness economics major, Leah Gregory

Chris Owens (burlesque performer)
Chris Owens is a United States performer, club owner and entrepreneur who bases her act out of the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. She has been a French Quarter fixture and celebrity from the start of the 1960s through the early 21st century. Owens is extremely well known in Louisiana and throughout the South. Tourists visiting the famous Bourbon Street cannot miss huge posters of her wearing revealing costumes as they walk by her nightclub.
Life and work[edit]
Details about Owens' past and career are sketchy at best.
Born as Christine Joetta Shaw on October 5, 1932 in rural Texas. Daughter of Fred Moore Shaw Sr. and Thelma Leona Martin who married 1925 in Haskell, TX.. Chris Grew up on a farm and went to Texas Weslyn College to be a nurse. Married Sol R. Owens in 1956.
She can be seen in the 1962 movie The Wacky World of Doctor Morgus (see Morgus the Magnificent).
She eventually met and married car dealer Sol Owens and opened a nightclub on St. Louis Street in the French Quarter; it was originally intended to be a low-key sideline establishment, but business exploded.
Realizing that Owens' performance numbers were a huge draw, they sold their home in 1977 and purchased the building on the corner of St. Louis and Bourbon. Soon the "Chris Owens Review" became a noted act in town.
In 1979 Sol had a heart attack and died; Chris Owens took over management of the club and of the 30 apartments and 4 shops located within the building. As of 2007 the club and Owens' act continue to be a draw.
She hosts a yearly "Patriotic Easter Parade" that rolls down Bourbon Street.
Owens began production in 2003 of her first feature film, Let's Ballroom. Owens stars as a wealthy widow who falls in love with her dance instructor.
April 22, 2006 - Chris was inducted into the New Orleans Musical Legends Park with a statue created in her likeness. Her image stands next to other musical greats including Fats Domino..

Dance-noise-whatever madness on NYE. I'm the bloke behind the drumkit.
You can't really hear the contact mic-ed floor tom (which I ran through a Buzz Box) in the video but yeah it was there, buzzing and glitching its way through most of the set.
The video's pretty good too; makes our set sound better than it actually was!

I have taken this lady from big boobie amateurs. the big boob blog. Who said ladies don't have any fun? Danica Collins is dressed like a lady in this exclusive movie taken from her own new personal site Danica Collins, a real lady complete with pearls, fur stole, leather gloves and topped off with a pretty net hat but what we all want to know is what is below Danicas clothes? Well being as though Danica is a real lady she has on a tight open bottom girdle holding up black silk stockings. With just my underwear on, but leaving on the fur stole and gloves, Danica starts to play with her curvy body, nice plump bottom and large breasts. Her glove covered hands squeeze and pull at her erect brown nipples. Danica is a very naughty British lady and it isn't long before her stocking covered legs are spread wide for you. A gloved hand rubs and strokes her pussy as she spreads her pussy wide and slowly work a gloved finger in and out of my wet hole. Visit Danica at her own new personal site her.

He was booted from office in a three-way contest won by Bill Clinton in 1992, but former President George H.W. Bush is headed for "near-great" status based on his foreign policy successes, according to a presidential scholar who runs the LBJ library.
"You're seeing George H.W. Bush's reputation really burnished in history," said Mark K. Updegrove, director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. "We bounced him from office in 1992 in favor of Bill Clinton. I think he's going to be considered one of our near-great presidents, particularly in light of the foreign policy," added Updegrove, who is writing a book about the two Bush presidencies.
Bush, considered something of a forgotten president overshadowed by his son, former President George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, for whom he served as vice president, and his no tax pledge flip-flop is seeing his reputation rehabilitated as the politics of his years is forgotten and his victory in the first Gulf War and management of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Updegrove joined the directors of other libraries at a recent seminar where he said it takes a decade or more for the impressions and histories of presidents to move from an emotional remembrance to colder and realistic analysis.
For example, when asked if the public could get an honest analysis of George W. Bush from the Texan's new museum, Updegrove said "I don't think that that's possible. I don't think while a president is alive, while they have some direction over their presidential library, that an objective view is possible. They are in some degree directing the content of that."

"I suppose the change could be an attempt to refocus folks on their PvE goals. By making battlegrounds less fun and requiring arena participation, many casual PvP players may pursue the PvE environment."
I don't think Blizzard really puts that much thought into it.
Pretty much with BC, there are two ways to go with end-game:
The PvE route where you spend hours looking for a group for instances or wait a week hoping 10 or 25 guild members get on to have the chance to win gear.
Or the PvP route where you can practically instantly get in a match and earn points to get gear.
Personally, if Blizz removes PvE attunments, there should be no restrictions on PvP.
It's possible that they're trying to do what you said. However, I doubt they're trying to scare people away from the PvP system into the PvE one. However, it should be noted with the ability to get Badges of Justice through daily quests, they made PvE a lot less exclusive.
It's my guess that they wanted to make PvP gear semi-exclusive to try and make a "progression" system for PvP.
The problem is that there is no end game for battlegrounds anymore. It isn't competitive at all. So, Blizzard can't make the battlegrounds gear exclusive via battleground performance. Especially since, to be fair, battleground performance at the PuG level is really only 1/10-1/15th your performance anyway.
I don't have a solution, I'm just pointing out why they're forced to do it this way.

Color me surprised. A multi-billion dollar company and they seem to have blind retarded one armed chimps upgrading their hardware.
I mean honestly... 15 hours to apply a 7mb patch and upgrade some hardware? That's a complete joke. And this is the second week in a row for my server to endure this.
In regards to the patch issue... WHY exactly do they have a PTR? Oh I forgot.. its not for actually TESTING to make sure things work code wise.. its to let the no life having uber guilds be able to finish content first. How bout you actually TEST stuff Bliz.
uncaringbear said...
I have to agree with Derek on this. While WoW may not be a mission critical application, it's reasonable to expect Blizzard to apply industry best-practices when it comes to planning and deploying changes to their platform. These practices would include review and approval of all planned changes, comprehensive internal testing, deployment and testing on test environments, and much more.
Based on Blizzard's dismal track record when it comes to rolling out changes, it's difficult to defend whatever strategy they use to deploy their changes. Certainly, things can go wrong, and they will. However, any business who follows even the most basic operational practices can go a long way towards minimizing these problems.

Pays for stuff with huge number of coins
You go to a store, and buy your things. You check out, and you don't have more than the total. [[Note]] No credit cards either [[Note]] Instead, you must pay in exact change, but all you got is a really huge number of coins.This is either used as a last resort without going in debt, Just for Fun, protesting the recipient, or as a metaphor of something. The clerk can either try to count all of it, or trusts the customer and accepts the coins. In reality, we've found methods of exchanging large sums of money without actually presenting large sums of money. For instance, you get a mortgage to buy a house. You get a paycheck every week, not $300 in cash per week (as a for instance). You have cashier's cheques to move large sums of money from one bank account to another. However, if you walk into a car dealership and offer to buy a car on the spot without financing, holding fists full of $100 bills, then this trope comes into effect. On more expensive things, such as a luxury yacht, A Briefcase Full of Money can be used instead if a Zillion-Dollar Bill isn't available. May be the result of Ridiculous Future Inflation. Cheap Gold Coins is a related trope. Truth in Television. Examples [[folder/Comic Books]]
Well he swore that he was innocent
so he paid off his bail and home he went.
But soon back to jail our hero was sent

The problem we're facing right now is there is already a lot of excitement for HTML5, but it's a little too early to deploy it because we're running into interoperability issues. I don't think it's ready for production yet, especially since W3C still will make some changes on APIs. The real problem is can we make [HTML5] work across browsers and at the moment, that is not the case.
IDC's industry analyst, Al Hilwa, backed up LeHegaret's assessment:
HTML 5 is at various stages of implementation right now through the Web browsers. If you look at the various browsers, most of the aggressive implementations are in the beta versions. IE9 (Internet Explorer 9), for example, is not expected to go production until close to mid-next year. That is the point when most enterprises will begin to consider adopting this new generation of browsers.
HTML5, no doubt the eventual way of the Web, was thrust into the spotlight largely due to Steve Jobs' open dislike for Adobe Flash. HTML5 currently lacks a video codec and Digital Rights Management support, says FierceCIO.
Scott Gilbertson at Webmonkey disagrees with LeHegaret and Hilwa. Apple, Google and Microsoft are already supporting the technology in their websites. While Gilbertson acknowledges HTML5 is not perfect, he argues that it isn't an all-or-nothing issue.

4mrdncr mentioned that he/she missed the Charlie Rose segment where Robert Gottlieb, Georgina Parkinson, Joan Acocella, and Julie Kavanagh discuss Nureyev. I too missed it (I had it recorded and then accidently deleted it ).
Well, I checked out the Charlie Rose website today, and one can use the following link to view this segment on one's computer:

One side effect of being a parent is that I sometimes find myself seeing the world through the eyes of my children, even when they're not with me. The shift in perspective can be instructive.
Last weekend, as I was heading out the door to catch an evening of boxing at a local nightclub, my older daughter called after me, "Make sure all the fights are fair for everybody." She said this in the voice of her number-one stuffed bear, a sweet lisping coward who thinks he's terribly fierce. The bear, who used to talk a lot when my daughter was younger, has mostly fallen silent in recent years. But she still occasionally resurrects his voice, especially to express a sentiment she regards as too babyish to comport with her tween worldliness.

Pregnant women admit that throwing a pre-baby party is the best way to stock up on baby essentials!
The baby shower trend has made its way from America to the UK, with two thirds of British pregnant women planning to throw one before their nine months is up.
Using a baby shower as the perfect way to get lovely new gifts for their unborn baby, four in 10 of the 3,000 women polled admitted they hoped that their friends and family would treat them with gifts worth £150 or more!
Although the mums-to-be admitted to being spoilt with gift bundles of baby clothes, soft cuddly toys and nursery accessories to name a few, nine out of 10 revealed that they felt overwhelmed at their friends' generosity – 71% were even lucky enough to receive gifts after the birth, too!
Many mums-to-be used the baby shower experience to share stories about giving birth, with 52% wanting to get tips off other mums, whereas 44% just wanted to share lots of cake with close friends!
"Despite baby showers having a reputation for being a bit cheesy, most friends and family members love sharing good news and talking about the life changing experience of having a baby," said a spokesperson from Me To You, a gift card company, who led the poll, has said. " The simple fact is that everyone loves buying for babies."
