Those who have absolute trust and adjustment in one another and also a good understanding coupled with sense of responsibility ... those couple can be considered as ideal couples....bcz the vehicle of family can't move smoothly if one wheel comes out to be jammed/troublesome.....Answered by Pradipta pati, 14 Aug '12 07:33 pm
An ideal spouse is trusting , is understanding , is caring, is loving and most of all is loyal to you. An ideal spouse is only an ideal spouse if you both work together to common goals in life . There should be give and take in this relationship there should be compromise and there should be complete support through the ups and downs that you might encounter. Ideal only comes after working together with patience and understanding and never with any humiliation for the other. Most of all respect each other no matter what you may have to overcome together and no matter how hard it might seem.Answered by sabithamraj, 14 Aug '12 07:46 pm

The attributes of an ideal souse to a man is described in the scriptures which look quite vulgar in the modern time. It includes to be like a prostitute in the bed, like mother for serving food, like minister for administration, like brahmin for advise and many more things. In fact one in all and efficient.

An experimental satellite imagery program has been helping officials battle the slick in the Gulf of Mexico
Although NOAA officials have done satellite analysis for decades, the new program is unique because it uses high resolution data from satellites from a variety of countries and it's designed for situations such as oil spills, said Chris Warren, a physical scientist at NOAA and a co-developer of the program.
In the program, the NOAA's satellite team makes imagery available from a range of satellites to NOAA's Ocean Service's Emergency Response Division, as well as other federal, state, and local organizations involved in the response effort. NOAA personnel elsewhere in the agency use the data to create advanced models for the how the spill will spread.
"Because the satellites are continuously circling and taking imagery, we were able to provide continuous locations of where the slick was, even when [planes and ships] were not able to be out there" because of recent bad weather, Warren said.
Warren also said the program improves the ability of responders to understand the boundaries of the spill.
"Because of the extent of the spill, the sheer size of it, it's very difficult for planes and ships to be able to cover the whole area to see where it is every single day, with satellites we're able to get a much broader view of it and for the most part capture the entire slick in one image," he said. "That's been the biggest thing: knowing where it is because [responders] can't physically go back and forth and scan it with planes and ships just because how big it is."
Warren said the program was started in response to a request from NOAA's ocean service's division. Warren said although the program has proven successful in helping with the oil spill in Gulf, it's still probably about a year or two away from being fully ready.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Notre Dame to wear special uniforms for Arizona State game
When the Notre Dame Fighting Irish battle the Arizona State Sun Devils at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, they will look a little different than normal.
The BCS Championship Game runner-up will be sporting a special uniform that was created for their two-game set with the Sun Devils, which has been dubbed the "Shamrock Series."
It is certainly a departure from the school's traditional look, but at the same time it's tough to really criticize it. The white with accents of green and gold looks pretty good.
Now the only question left is what uniform combination the Sun Devils will choose for themselves for the October 5 battle.

A career-best 154 and a match tally of five wickets by Johan van der Wath helped Knights secure an eight-wicket win in Bloemfontein, their first in the competition. The Dolphins put on a better batting performance in their second innings, but could only manage to set a target of 115, which the Knights chased easily.
The Knights did a good job keeping the Dolphins to 221 on the opening day after winning the toss. The seamers, Van der wath, Dillon du Preez and Malusi Siboto shared the wickets, with Siboto taking 4 for 37. The main batsmen failed, and it was up to the lower-order duo of Kyle Abbott and Calvin Savage to add 65 to take the score past 200. The Knights were in a spot of bother on the second day at 108 for 6, before Werner Coetsee and van der Wath compiled the highest partnership of the match. Their stand of 161 was the turning point, as it set up a healthy first-innings lead for the Knights. After Coetsee departed for 69, van der Wath got useful support from the lower order. Shadley van Schalwyk frustrated Dolphins with 80 at No.10 and there was no respite either from the No.11 Siboto, who scored 41 to stretch the lead to 277. Van der Wath smashed 19 fours and three sixes in his 154.
The Dolphins showed better resistance in the second innings, with half-centuries by Imraan Khan, Khayelihle Zondo, Daryn Smit and Abbott. The Dolphins were under pressure to save the game when they ended the penultimate day 25 behind with five wickets in hand. The lower order put on three successive fifty partnerships to keep Knights at bay, but were bowled out for 391. The Knights knocked off the required runs in under 30 overs and remained in third place.
A seven-wicket haul by the seamer Ayabulela Gqamane sent Lions crashing to 59, helping the Warriors come back from an 80-run first-innings deficit, setting up a ten-wicket win at the Wanderers. Gqamane's career-best 7 for 24 swung the game Warriors' way and the game was over after lunch on day three.
The Lions chose to bat and ended the opening day at 275 for 7, with the captain Stephen Cook scoring 95, Neil McKenzie 50 and Thami Tsolekile unbeaten on 64. Gqamane took 4 for 46, while Andrew Birch took 4 for 68 to bowl out the Lions for 315. Tsolekile remained unbeaten on 88.
The Lions spinners, Imran Tahir and Edie Leie, jolted the Warriors top order to reduce them to 118 for 5. Christiaan Jonker and Simon Harmer added 81 for the sixth wicket before Zander de Bruyn wrapped up the innings for 235, giving the Lions a lead of 80. What followed was a stunning turnaround as Gqamane ran through the line-up in 10.4 overs to finish with his maiden ten-wicket haul. Only two batsmen passed double figures in the second innings.
It left Warriors chasing 140, and they sailed home thanks to the opening pair of Davy Jacobs (84*) and Michael Price (49*).
Cape Cobras retained their position at the top of the table with a ten-wicket win over Titans at Newlands in a three-day finish. Put in to bat, the Titans were rolled over for 192 on the opening day with Justin Kemp taking 5 for 45. The Titans were struggling at 47 for 5 before David Wiese and Roelof van der Merwe scored half-centuries. The Cobras openers, Andrew Puttick and Alistair Gray nearly matched the Titans' first-innings score on their own. Their stand of 169 set the platform for a big score, and the second-wicket pair of Puttick and Stiaan van Zyl took the game further away from the Titans with a stand of 120. Puttick managed a century, but van Zyl and Gray fell short, scoring 91 and 84 respectively. Qaasim Adams and the lower order then took the score to 476 for 8 before the declaration, giving the Cobras a healthy lead of 284.
There was more trouble for the Titans at the end of the second day, losing two early wickets in the face of a huge deficit. In the third morning, things got worse when Pieter Malan edged Johann Louw to third slip. Heino Kuhn and Jacques Rudolph resisted with fifties. Louw broke their stand of 88 and dismissed the pair to finish with 5 for 89. Beuran Hendricks took 4 for 73 as the Titans finished on 301 leaving the Cobras just 18 to chase.

We have a fairly large enterprise, multi-tier, multi-layer solution built on .Net 3.5. The system is a Service Oriented Architecture (WCF Services) with an ASP.Net MVC User interface fronting it all.
Some of the guys in the team are working on Tooling for the system, and are implementing these as WPF Rich Client Architectures that connect directly to the database (or other data sources).
Somehow this just does not feel right to me for the following reasons:
- This would require that the SQL Server would need to be accessible by a number of machines (who are running the tools) directly. Isn't it best practise to only ever allow your application Tier to connect to the database tier? Pass-through authentication will be used anyway for auditability so the overhead of managing multiple login accounts is not an issue.
- Duplication (or at least distribution) of the business logic would have to occur. Instead of hosting the business logic on the server to be reused, it would have to reside on each of the client machines.
- Maintenance of multiple client installations: Now all these machines have to be updated separately every time a new version of the tool is released. Okay, you could still use something like one-click to keep it automatically updated.
etc., etc.
I suggested a Rich Internet Architecture for the tools so that we could make use of the extended functionality that the client machines can then supply (which the browser may not be able to do or would just be that much harder on the browser). At least in this scenario the main business logic would still be held in the services layer on the application servers, and there would be no need for any direct connections to the SQL Servers.
I can understand using Rich Clients for applications like word or excel, but if you already have a complete multi-tier solution, surely it's not the best way to do it?!?
I'd like to get a good discussion on the topic going since I don't think this is one of those things that can easily be answered by one line responses (I may be wrong ;-).
What do you think? What have you guys experienced in the past? Where can I find resources to prove or disprove my points above?

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 10/30/14
I haven't been following the Roger Clemens trial because, quite frankly, I don't care. I'm tired of Clemens. I'm tired of talk about performance-enhancing drugs. I don't think, at this point, the findings of a government-led witch hunt are going to change many people's opinion of Clemens. I'm definitely not a legal junkie. And, honestly, I'm not really a fan of "celebrity" trials that don't involve decidedly sordid or salacious subject matter. (It's true. Michael Jackson and O.J. Simpson have spoiled me). I'm completely indifferent to the whole spectacle. Apparently I'm not the only one failing to muster any interest in this case. Here's the AP: The trial is in its fifth week, and the tedium cost the proceedings another member of the jury Tuesday. Juror No. 1, a supermarket cashier, became the second member of the panel to be dismissed for sleeping. Her departure leaves 14 jurors, including two alternates. So there you go. The most interesting piece of information from the Clemen

Lakers news: Team waives Elias Harris
- Updated: November 29, 2013
The Los Angeles Lakers on Friday afternoon prior to their game against the Detroit Pistons cut forward Elias Harris, according to Dave McMeniman of ESPNLosAngeles.com.
The 24-yeard signed with Los Angeles this past offseason under a partially guaranteed deal that earned $100,000 for making the opening day roster. Harris had played well with the Lakers' summer league team as he played in all five games averaging 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in 27.0 minutes per game.
This season, the former Gonzaga Bulldog had appeared in two games for the Lakers accumulating one rebound, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes played. Harris had not traveled with the team on their current three-game road trip, as he was instead assigned to organization's D-League affiliate, Los Angeles Defenders.
In his one game for the Defenders, Harris scored 18 points with two rebounds, and two assists in 28 minutes. The Lakers roster now stands at 14 players.
With roster now having an open spot ,it will lead to speculation about the team adding a player such as former Lakers Lamar Odom or Shannon Brown via free agency.

The answers Dick provided were what came to my mind too. But it really depends on your connection to the university. Are you a student or a professor? Different terms would apply in each case. I (as a student) had to drop out for one semester just to get a temporary job and earn the tuition for my final semester. When I spoke with the Registrars Office about my intentions, they referred to what I was doing as a "temporary suspension of studies." With my stated intention of returning, that made it easy to get started again and avoided a lot of redundant paperwork.

This is a muslin for a mesh maxi dress I want to make using the Fatina Plus dress as a basic pattern. My husband accidentally cut off the right shoulder so I had to reattach it with stretch binding!
I cut size 54 and found it was a touch too big, but no hassle to alter. I'll be figuring how to draft a sleeve for this dress next! I'd love to make a long sleeved maxi dress out of black mesh, but can see all kinds of variations for this very simple pattern.

Pedestrian dies after being hit by Toronto police cruiser leading funeral procession
A police cruiser escorting a funeral procession struck a female pedestrian Saturday, killing her instantly.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Carlton Brown was driving slowly along Hwy. 27 in a funeral procession bound for Glenview Memorial Gardens to bury his late father-in-law Saturday.
He never made it.
Just north of Rexdale Blvd., a woman tried to cross three northbound lanes in front of the mourners as the police escort was coming up the passing lane to get to the front of the procession.
It hit her. She died there on the road.
The collision at about 12:30 p.m. shut down a stretch of the highway from Rexdale Blvd. to Queen's Plate Dr. and sparked a probe by the Special Investigations Unit. Hundreds of passersby from shopping complexes on either side of the road came up to the yellow police tape strung between trees to observe.
Brown and others, mourning one loss of life, suddenly became part of another. Their cars were part of the investigation and couldn't be moved for hours.
Teary-eyed and shaken, Brown said the mourners had been inching along the two outside lanes of the highway. The hearse and some lead cars were up ahead. The inside lane, next to the median, was clear.
The Toronto Traffic Services division cruiser escorting the mourners moved up that inside lane, passing the procession on its way to clear the next intersection at Queen's Plate Dr.
Brown estimated the cruiser was travelling between 60 and 70 kilometres an hour, flashing its lights. The speed limit there is 70 km/h.
The woman made it across the two lanes in front of the procession, but not the third.
"She popped out in front of (the cruiser) and before he could do anything, he struck her," said Brown. "She was in the air, flipped over a couple times, and hit the ground … She fell behind my car."
The mourners huddled on the side of the highway, dressed in black, watching investigators measuring distances, setting out evidence markers, taking photographs.
"It's crazy, it's been a crazy day," said Brown.
Marva Black, who was also in the procession, choked up as she said quietly that the incident was "very traumatic."
"I think she didn't pay much attention to the next lane and she stepped out," said Black. "I saw her go up and come down. Everything was just happening all at once."
The hearse and some cars at the front of the procession still made it to the cemetery to bury Roland Fletcher, who was 73 when he died.
The police cruiser sat on the highway, its windshield cracked, its right side mirror dangling, the red and white lights on the roof still flashing, hours after the collision.
About 10 metres behind it lay the woman's body, covered in an orange blanket. People gasped when they saw it. Some cried.
The body was removed at about 3:45 p.m. An hour later, a tow truck came for the cruiser.
The nearest crosswalks are at major intersections hundreds of metres away.
The SIU, the province's police watchdog, has taken over took over the investigation. Spokesman Frank Phillips said eight civilian witnesses were interviewed and the victim's family has been notified.

Of all of the classes of books that at one time or another have been considered to belong to the realm of Literature, those volumes constituted primarily of tales of a fantastic nature would appear to suffered the steepest decline in esteem by contemporary readers. This seems almost counterintuitive, given the current immense popularity of modern stories featuring fantasy and magic among all ages and classes of readers; it is evident however that the writing ,and the mindsets of the protagonists and the problems to be overcome in the new stories, despite their superficial resemblances to the older stories featuring knights and ladies and enchantments, have been updated to appeal to modern sensibilities such that they possess a vividness to the present generation of readers that the romantic stories of Scott and Boccaccio and their ilk do not.
Washington Irving's Alhambra is primarily a book of legends and tales of this romantic sort--that is what it is remembered for, to the extent that it is remembered--though it also partakes of the genres of travelogue and I suppose some light history. I found it a wonderful book, at this particular time of my life anyway, found Washington Irving, whom I had never read before, to be a much more interesting writer than his current stature suggested to me he would be, and found my already fervent (for me) desire to go wandering around Spain re-confirmed and further whetted by the perhaps unrealistically romantic but unabashedly good-natured affection with which the author (infects) his account. The IWE introduction states, with characteristic candor, that the book is a "typical work of North America's first man of letters--good writing but seldom superlative." I suppose this is accurate, but I do want to note that I was struck, more than I usually am, perhaps because the writing was 'seldom superlative' by what a good command Irving had of the language. It is a vigorous kind of writing, always clear and precise in spite of some 19th century tendencies towards effusiveness and hyperbole, and also frequently humorous. I will give a couple of examples from "The Legend of the Moor's Legacy":
""Honest Peregil thus saw himself unexpectedly saddled with an infidel guest, but he was too humane to refuse a night's shelter to a fellow-being in so forlorn a plight."
"Now it so happened that this Alcalde was one of the most overbearing, and at the same time one of the most griping and corrupt curmudgeons in all Granada. It could not be denied, however, that he set a high value upon justice, for he sold it at its weight in gold."
"As ill-luck would have it, there lived opposite to the water-carrier a barber named Pedrillo Pedrugo, one of the most prying, tattling, and mischief-making of his gossip tribe. He was a weasel-faced, spider-legged varlet, supple and insinuating; the famous barber of Seville could not surpass him for universal knowledge of the affairs of others."
My edition is from 1926. It belongs to the 'Academy Classics for Junior High Schools' series, pocket-sized little volumes with nice thick paper, a large number of photographs of the Alhambra and various sites associated with Washington Irving, and about fifty of footnotes, biography, study questions and other supplemental information. The footnotes and appendices of course are unabashedly Eurocentric. (Some favorite footnotes: Allah: God; plains of Tours: Near Tours, in France, in 732, Charles Martel defeated the Mohammedans and thereby saved Europe; Henry III: King of Castile, 1390-1406. He was called "The Weak," because he was by no means inclined to wage war against the Moors.") The editors in their comments about the Moors betray attitudes and thought processes that will properly draw frowns from unignorant moderns, though they are trying, after their paternalistic fashion, to be complimentary:
"(The) Moors, he (Irving) learned, were Caucasians like himself, with the fine strong features of the white race, and of a handsome, dignified, noble appearance. Since they had descended from generations of people who had lived in the hot sun of the desert regions, they had dark-brown complexion, dark eyes, and intensely black hair...They established colleges; encouraged literature, art, and science; the development of mathematics and of medicine, of astronomy and physics, as well as the study of history and geography; and they did wonderful work in the making of silken cloth and of steel. In many ways these dark-faced people benefited Spain, setting slaves free; relieving the oppressed; reducing taxation, and giving wide freedom. They did so much that was remarkable that they thought of themselves as leaders of men, and made all people respect their culture and their intellectual ability."
Irving's own comments on the Moors, it should be noted, had somewhat less of this overt racial condescension. As even the editors of this edition discerned, "Irving wrote about the Moors with enthusiasm because he thought them a great people.":
"As conquerors, their heroism was only equalled by their moderation; and in both, for a time, they excelled the nations with whom they contended."
"The Arab invasion and conquest brought a higher civilization, and a nobler style of thinking, into Gothic Spain. The Arabs were a quick-witted, sagacious, proud-spirited, and poetic people, and were imbued with oriental science and literature."
Washington Irving seems to have led all in all a pretty swell life. Certainly that is the impression given in the biographical sketch of him in my 1926 schoolboy edition, which would have left out all references to the sorts of petty unpleasantnesses with which any life is filled and which tend I think to be overemphasized in modern biography. It did mention that Irving was engaged to be married when he was twenty-six, and that his fiancee died before the wedding. It does not seem that he ever married anyone else, and of course there were no allusions to any kind of illicit romances in the schoolboy book (Wikipedia says that when he was forty, and already long a successful author, he proposed to an eighteen year old who turned him down; it also asserts that Mary Shelley, who was 14 years younger than Irving herself, expressed, through a third party, romantic interest in him, but Irving did not pursue the relationship). He was born in New York in 1783, a great time and place to have done so, certainly by the standards of history up to that point, and acknowledging the favorable circumstances of race, gender, social position, etc that he possessed. For the free Americans my impression, which seems to be corroborated by statistics with regard to things like average height, birth and death rates, etc, those first decades of nationhood after the revolution were a pretty heady time to grow up, full of confidence and purpose, again by comparison to almost any other time and place in history. By his 20s Irving had become the first person in the history of his nation to be recognized primarily as a litterateur in the European tradition. He lived in and traveled all over Europe for seventeen years, including his three month sojourn inside the Alhambra. After the success of that book, he was awarded the post of United States Ambassador to Spain by president Tyler, though he seems to have accepted the post reluctantly. He lived out his middle and old age in his beautiful mansion (which can still be visited, by the way) along the Hudson, reading, writing more books, meandering around the Catskills and heading down to the City when the mood struck him. He died in 1859, just in time to miss the next great national cataclysm, fittingly it seems to me, as he belongs so thoroughly to the epoch of our history that was exploded when the Civil War happened, though perhaps he would have been interested to see it. Really, his life was kind of my ideal, apart from his never having married or any children (which I have to assume he could have afforded and paid/directed someone else to take care of while he wrote and traveled.)
The making of books had attained a very high level by the 1920s. This copy I have is in excellent condition, sturdy, has great paper, no typos or other printing errors, easily readable print, is attractively designed. It's great.
The Bourgeois Surrender Challenge
I read the winner from the last challenge, Bel Canto by Ann Patchett, which came out in 2001, and seems to have been pretty well acclaimed. I suppose it has some qualities of professional literary authorship about it, but overall it doesn't quite achieve anything that that status would suggest. First of all, the book is only 318 pages, but it seems like it goes on forever, which is not a great sign. Secondly, while she does not affect it, the author seeps with a kind of bourgeois snobbery that is not yet wholly earned enough to be tolerable in artistic pursuits. Her characters are too much what she imagines people of their distinction and achievement must be like, and not enough what she knows of the same. I assume Roxane Cox, the opera singing diva from Chicago who possesses an understanding of and intimacy with the higher things of life that are beyond that of almost everyone who has ever lived, is supposed, even if subconsciously, to be a stand-in for our author, which is a identification that the author has not earned, and does not earn by way of a convincing demonstration of the character. The book is most interesting perhaps as a window into the ego of the modern American woman. Roxane Cox, whom I take to be the author's alter ego, is an American from a middle class midwestern Catholic school who somehow has developed into the world's greatest opera singer. She is flown in at exorbitant expense to an unidentified godforsaken country in South America to sing for the CEO of one of the most important corporations in Japan because he loves opera, she is his favorite singer, and the government of the godforsaken country is desperate for him to build a factory or otherwise invest some dough there. During the concert terrorists, expecting the president of the country to be there, burst into the palace and take the assembled international crowd of extremely rich, cultured and important guests hostage. After a couple of days all of the women and unimportant men are allowed to leave, except somehow Roxane is not set free. She is thus the lone woman imprisoned in the among forty or so mostly alpha men, none of whom it should be noted, are Americans--they wouldn't be interesting enough. All of the men fall in love with her, especially after she begins to sing for them all every day. She picks the one she wants out of the bunch, the great Japanese CEO as it turns out, to be her lover during the captivity under the terrorists (don't ask), and the other men--even the Russians!--tamely accept this decision. Of course we are all entitled to our personal fantasy worlds, but at least recognize them when they are delineated so blatantly.
Anyway, onto this week's challenge. I thought with all of the Spanish and Alhambra material producing the magic words that we would have an interesting and high octane contest, but it turned out to be nothing of the sort.

Lot of zero-scorers this time, mainly among older books: The Dementia of Iyan Igma; A.J. Calvert, Southern Spain (This was actually listed among the recommended supplemental reading in my copy of the Alhambra); Mary F. Nixon-Roulet, Our Little Spanish Cousin; Eyewitness Travel: New York City 2011; Joan Ouellet, The Captive Dove; Happy Days For Boys & Girls; and W.A. Leahy, The Incendiary.
I am glad that the Niall Ferguson book was the winner, because that is the sort of popular non-fiction book that I like to read and have not always taken the time to fit in. Ferguson is, or was a few years ago at least, on the way becoming the new Christopher Hitchens/Andrew Sullivan British expat political and economic commentator for that portion of the educated set that is especially blown away by Oxbridge polish and erudition. I have started his book, and it is entertaining and has some interesting information in it, particularly about medieval era China, though Ferguson is the type of writer who is very emphatic that he is giving us the truth and the assertions of previous authors and sometimes even positions that were widely held among the most prominent scholars in a field for decades were completely off the mark. This kind of thing leads me to suspect that he is oversimplifying the ideas and thought processes that prevailed formerly. However, as I said, I am still enjoying the book.
The Alhambra words produced a very weird movie challenge:
1. Silver Streak......................196
2. Body by Bethenny..............177
3. God's Pocket........................20
Yes, the winner is the 1976 Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor collaboration, and the close runner up is the exercise tape of a divorced reality television personality who is about my age, and unfortunately seems to be a pretty typical specimen of the kinds of women I had to spend my adolescence unsuccessfully trying to figure out how to gain the approval of because they seemed to be the predominant type that was around.

Confessions of Abigail Stewart (A Girl with a Slightly Above Average Life)
Chapters: « Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... 12 Next »
#!Hello world! Or more appropriately, hello blank pages of my journal! Well I'm not really sure how to go about this because I've never really just wrote for shits and giggles. Its kind of a weird concept, you know? Like just writing everything that happens to me at every point of the day, to impress who? Me? Or maybe this will one day become a prize winning novel like Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl. Then everyone will know my name. I won't just be Abigail who lived at the end of the cul-de-sac. I will be THE GREAT Abigail Stewart, born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a perfectly boring life scattered with a few instances of hysteria and adventure. Yeah right…that'll be the day. I can't even get Noah Carter to recognize me. How pathetic! Ugh there is Emma now, bossing me around from downstairs because she thinks that she is just so much better then I am. At least Jacob isn't here to take her side because that always gets real ugly real fast. I'm the one that always gets forgotten at the bottom of the pile. I'm the one who still has to suffer through the orthodontic nightmare of braces. Oh and don't forget my lovely glasses. Great! Thanks Mom and Dad. Was it so hard to make one more child worthy of walking down the red carpet? But that's me, the shadow dweller. Now only if I had something to wear to school…

I haven't read the New York Times in a while now. Not since the paywall went up. But yeah, I read that article the other day by Jennifer Medina about college students asking for "trigger warnings" on the books and movies they encounter in class. It's good that I'm not a professor. I'd get in trouble somehow.
I know about the article because John Landis read it out loud at a PEN Center USA event last Sunday in LA. The event was Forbidden Fruit, PEN's fundraiser where authors and actors read passages from some of the most banned books of all time. (Lolita, check.) Landis was the emcee. Panio Gianopolous, Maria Bello, Molly Ringwald, Jill Sobule, Frances Fisher, Hill Harper, and others read work from authors like Ken Kesey, Anais Nin, Orwell, Updike, Steinbeck, and Nabokov. All writers whose books might need a trigger warning, I guess.
Do you enjoy keeping your opinions to yourself and being seen but not heard? Have you been looking to de-prioritize parts of your life like "family obligations, writing, involvement with other organizations, degrees to be finished, holidays to be taken, [and] weddings to attend in Rio"? Looking to earn a low-level salary while living in fear of "immediate dismissal" if you don't answer emails fast enough on a Saturday night? Well then, apply now for a job at Dalkey Archive Press!
I read Benjamin Anastas's novel An Underachiever's Diary a while back and liked it. I read these Salon and Daily Beast excerpts from his new memoir Too Good to Be True today and I feel profoundly anxious about money, relationships, and–most of all–writing as a career.
The New Yorker's diaeresis tic bothers some people. It's the double-dot thing they put in words like "coöperate" to tell you to pronounce both syllables. It's also "the single thing that readers of the letter-writing variety complain about most." As I read this piece about it, I kept waiting for Mary Norris to announce that they'd finally decided to change their style. But apparently the diaeresis lives on. What do you think, is the diaeresis annoying or endearing? (I like it.) Diaeresis.

Water Management
To reduce water usage, many park facilities are equipped with low-flow or waterless fixtures. At Fort Harrison park housing and the maintenance facility, they have rain barrels to capture water for gardening and washing vehicles and equipment. In addition to reducing water usage the park also works to protect the water quality in our streams. Fifteen miles of park streams drain into the Chesapeake Bay, and 99% are protected by thick forested buffers to help protect water quality and the plants and animals that call the streams home. The maintenance facility's parking lot has an oil-water separator to prevent harmful pollutants from entering nearby waterways.
Learn more about the Chesapeake Bay.

Rams Surprise Seahawks
Scott Boehm/Getty Images(ST. LOUIS) -- The St. Louis Rams pulled out all the stops to beat their division rival Seattle Seahawks with crafty special teams play in a 28-26 win on Sunday.
Stedman Bailey fooled everyone on a 90-yard fake punt return and Benny Cunningham's 75-yard kickoff return on a squibbed kick that rolled into the end zone in the second quarter put the Rams up 21-3.
The Rams would not be done though, Cunningham's 18-yard reception from kicker Johnny Hekker late in the fourth quarter extended a drive and a late fumble recovery closed the game out.
"It was great execution by them on a couple different scenarios," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. "It made a huge difference in this game."
The Seahawks have now lost back-to-back games and sit at 3-3.
"Grateful for the effort, an entire team effort," Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said. "That's a really good football team and that's an understatement."
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.
"We have a team that's full of fighters," Wilson said. "There's nothing better than having your backs against the wall. That's where we're at right now. You just play 1-0 and try and focus on what you can control."

This article is part of the October 2011 Vol. 2, No. 5 issue of Adopting an application-centric architecture
Firewalls have been the predominant form of security for Internet-connected networks for some 25 years now. While the technology remained largely unchanged for much of that time, more recently a new generation of "application-aware" firewalls has emerged to deal with today's application-centric threats. More on application security SANS Top 25 programming errors: Application security best practices Netsparker: Free Web application security testing tool Black Hat 2010 podcast: Mobile application security threats During this last quarter century, attackers have moved from targeting operating systems to targeting the applications that run on them, moving up the protocol stack to use protocols such as HTTP and XML to launch sophisticated attacks. These attacks are designed to circumvent the traditional access control policies enforced by perimeter firewalls. In turn, firewalls have added more functionality to be able to operate on all layers of the protocol stack, from layer 2 to layer 7, inspecting traffic and analyzing protocols to thwart the latest attack ...

The 9513 Last.fm Chart Update (2-21-10)
Last.fm Top Artists
After a flirtation with some new albums, most of The 9513 group members went back to the old favorites this week. Miranda Lambert is #1 with 29 listeners, and Sugarland makes the big leap up to #2 with 27. That's nine more listeners than last week. Lady Antebellum and Josh Turner, meanwhile, dropped back down to #10 with 21 listeners. So much for new music. Johnny Cash tied with Lee Ann Womack and Reba McEntire for #5 with 24 listeners. He's got the next big-name release, so perhaps he can add to his usual high weekly totals. The Americana contingent was led by Justin Townes Earle with 14 listeners and Kasey Chambers with 13.
Last.fm Top Tracks
Of all the Turner tracks that made the Top 10 last week, not a single one repeated the trick this week. In fact, only "Why Don't We Just Dance" charted at all, with 6 listeners. Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" led the way with 9 listeners, Followed by "Hello World" and Womack's "Last Call" with 8. Among the tracks with 7 listeners was Easton Corbin's "A Little More Country Than That," which benefited from being a free iTunes download, and Cash's "I Walk The Line," which benefited from being awesome. Cash also had a #12 song with "Hurt" (6 listeners), making him the only person to ever have two songs in Top 20 that were recorded more than 40 years apart. Along with Lambert, Lady Antebellum and Cash, Earle also had multiple songs in the Top 20, with "Poor Fool" and "The Good Life" having 6 listeners each.
Billboard Country Songs
Turner gets a second week at #1 with "Why Don't We Just Dance," with Brad Paisley moving up to #2 with "American Saturday Night." After that, here comes the Hillbilly Pride songs, with "That's How Country Boys Roll," "Hillbilly Bone" and "A Little More Country Than That" all moving up quickly. Outside of the Top 10, Kenny Chesney's "Ain't Back Yet" debuted at #23, one of the highest debuts in a long time. After that, it seems like every song that's been struggling on the charts is finally gaining ground. "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" by Kellie Pickler moved three spots to #14 after 25 weeks. "Keep On Lovin' You" by Steel Magnolia moved to #15 after 23 weeks. Even "Today" by Gary Allan moved up a couple spots to #18 after being around for a whopping 34 weeks. Unfortunately, this clearing-house effect also meant that Justin Moore's wretched "Backwoods" cracked the Top 20, ending up at #19. Poor Sarah Buxton still can't catch a break though, as "Outside My Window" only made it to #25, and it's been kicking around the charts only a week less than "Today."
Billboard Country Albums
Lady Antebellum is still at #1 with Need You Now, though it got knocked off the top spot of the Top 200 by Sade. Turner's Haywire debuted at #2 on the country charts and #5 overall. This is the first time since these chart updates began to cover Billboard that Taylor Swift's Fearless is as low as #3. It's clearly time to release a new edition of the album. Reckless Kelly debuted at #22 with Somewhere In Time, which is where Bulletproof landed in 2008. They're nothing if not consistent. The other debut for the week was a greatest hits package from Chris Cagle at #34. In other news, there's apparently a country singer out there named Chris Cagle, and he had enough songs to put together a greatest hits package.
Americana Music Association Chart
The Crazy Heart soundtrack and Ray Wylie Hubbard's Enlightenment have been trading the #1 and #2 spots for the last three weeks, and this week, it's Jeff Bridges and company in the top spot. Add to that Patty Griffin's House Of Gold holding at #3, Reckless Kelly moving from #10 to #4 and Alison Moorer moving up a notch to #5 with Crows, every album in the Top 5 was released this year. Among the fast risers are Animal Boy by Matt The Electrician (yes, a former electrician), which moved from #37 to #23, and Will Kimbrough's Wings, which moved up 11 spots to #17. New albums from Cash, Eleven Hundred Springs and the Carolina Chocolate Drops are getting adds already, and they may be joining the crowd of recent releases at the top. American VI is already at #40 on the charts, in fact.
