Meaning & Origins
Usual medieval English form of the Greek name Theophania 'Epiphany', from theos 'god' + phainein 'to appear'. This was once a relatively common name, given particularly to girls born on the feast of the Epiphany (6 January), and it gave rise to an English surname. As a given name, it fell into disuse until revived in the 20th century under the influence of the famous New York jewellers, Tiffany's, and the film, starring Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). This is a very popular African-American name.
|150th in the U.S.
English: occupational name for someone who was responsible for tending cattle, from Middle English steer 'bullock' + man 'man'.
|22,581st in the U.S.

There is a global latitude and longitude grid data available at 1 degree resolution and higher (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f11bcdc5d484400fa926dcce68de3df7). Is anyone aware of a finer resolution dataset (at 0.25 and 0.5 degree)? Or alternatively a way to make it in ArcGIS/GDAL/Python using the 1 degree product?

Dissent on Kabuto
I had huge expectations for Kabuto, based on the online reviews and the recommendation of one connected Las Vegas food professional, who said his friends liked it. Plus the ramen place Monta, apparently owned by the same people, was such a revelation for me. Kabuto and Monta are in the same Las Vegas strip mall. For me, Kabuto was a disappointment. It was above average sushi. With a beer, a 10-piece nigiri sampler, a couple of extra pieces of sushi and a tip, my bill came to $84. My taste buds didn't taste sushi that rated that kind of cost.
To cut directly to the point, two sushi stood out as especially fishy tasting: the jack mackerel and the shad. The jack mackerel had an especially strong sardine taste. I was eating the ginger after that one. I have to confess I'm not a veteran of high-end sushi places. Maybe this was how the jack mackerel and the shad was supposed to taste. If I'm spending a lot of money on the food (this sushi is flown in fresh daily, according to other online reviews) I'm expecting a superb experience.
For me, the unpleasant tasting sushi started with the first one. It's listed on the menu as kinme or golden big eye. I assume from a Google search it's some kind of snapper. It was a mild fishy taste. Not as strong as the jack mackerel or shad. But right from the start it was an unpleasant fish taste.
The sushi I liked the most were the fattier tunas plus the sweet shrimp. Both the medium fatty tuna, the chu-toro, and the premium fatty tuna, the o-toro, were delicious. The sweet shrimp and the o-toro were sushi I bought in addition to the 10-piece sampler.
I've dislived the saltwater eel every other time I've had it but I liked it at Kabuto
I started my meal with a mango sake that was pleasant and some sort of spicy radish. I couldn't quite understand how they were pronouncing its name.
Even the sushi I liked didn't blow me away, though. Not enough to justify the price of a meal at Kabuto.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. There is no sign on the exterior, just a plain wall and a window. When you get inside, the restaurant is truly beautiful. Simple, elegant and tasteful are the words that come to mind.
And the service was excellent. They came through there.
Again, I have to acknowledge I don't have experience at top sushi places. But I can go to places in the Bay Area that has sushi that tastes as fresh or better on my taste buds and it's a quarter of the price.

re: SteveTimko
Unfortunately I have to agree with a lot of what you said. Some of the fish were not that fresh, rice was mushy and not vinegary at all, the size of the nigiri is smaller than many places in Tokyo.
I always appreciate a dissent on a popular place. The weakest part of your argument was those photos, which make me hungry. And I just ate a big meal.
I will begin with stating that I have not eaten at Kabuto yet, but it's irrelevant to this response. That being said, $84 bucks out the door for above average sushi sounds perfectly reasonable to me. 10 pieces of nigiri at $3-4 per piece, mango sake (I've never ordered it, but I'm guessing $7-11?), beer at $6-12, sweet shrimp and otoro at +/- $15, tax + tip. You're right on the money. Not sure how you can have all that for a quarter of the price in the bay area or anywhere for that matter.
Glad to hear that you received excellent service.
Mackerel is naturally a very strong tasting fish and it's not likely that you received a bad piece.
Did the sushi chef ask you about your preferences, likes, dislikes before serving you? Kinmeidai is a very mild fish, mackeral and kohada(shad) are very fishy in general.
No, the chef did not ask me about my preferences. My understanding with the nigiri sampler is that the chef picks what is available that day.
Fledflew: Those prices are common for two servings of sushi., At Kabuto you get one, not two, and it's probably a third to a half the size of regular sushi servings.
I found nothing special about Kabuto.
re: SteveTimko
When I was there about two weeks ago, the waitress asked us about any food issues/dislikes.
re: SteveTimko
The prices that I factored were per piece. The nigiri I see goes for an average of $5-9 per order.
re: fledflew
The nigiri menu offers 10 pieces for $48, plus sake aptertif and dessert, and offers a slight discount compared to ordering by piece. The menu is printed with a date, and on July 3, the menu's most expensive pieces were the o-toro and kamashita at $7/piece. Then there were 3 $6 pieces: Chu-toro, uni and wakaremi (triangle). There were also 7 $5 pieces, 5 $4 pieces and 3 $3 pieces. Not sure how much the tamago was because although it was included in the nigiri menu that night, it was not separately priced on the nigiri menu.
The night I dined there, we added two extras: kamashita and uni, adding $13 to the $48 price tag per person (and not including other sakes/beers we ordered).

What happens when different people come together to play the same game with different rules without knowing about the differences?
I have found that many people play life's game with different rules and meet with people with different rules of engagement. I don't get why this is so but some how I think the out may not be pleasant. What do you think is the reason behind this and the outcome?
Apr 21 2013: Fountain,
Whatever happens when different people come together with different cultures, backgrounds and ideas about life, is whatever we create as individuals. It is not surprising that we perceive things differently, and this can lead to a pleasant, or unpleasant outcome.....it depends a lot on what our perception is of the interaction.
If we begin an interaction believing that our thoughts, feelings, ideas, perceptions and opinions are the one and only "right" way, we may not have a pleasant outcome. If, however, we begin each and every interaction knowing and accepting that everyone may have different ideas, we can be open to possibilities for the interaction to evolve in a very pleasant way. In my perception, every interaction is an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve as an individual, while being fully present in the moment. To me, we are all more the same than different, because we share many of the same emotions and life experiences. The differences are a gift, because it is an opportunity to experience something that I may not have previously known.
This TED talk seems relevant to this conversation:
Apr 21 2013: Colleen,
Its always pleasant to read your comments on any subject. Your open-mindedness and amiable spirit is just a gift to the TED community. I can't agree any more with you. It depends on our ability to approach a new interaction or engagement with empathy and a desire to learn what the other party's views are. Despite the potency of our nature and nurture, our choices to be flexible is what makes us who we eventually become
Apr 22 2013: Thank you for that feedback Fountain:>)
Being open minded, with a desire to learn in a flexible way is MY pleasure, and a gift to myself. It feels a LOT better than the alternative.
I appreciate your open-mindedness, compassion, empathy and kindness as well:>)

Thanks for your honesty. We are often irritated by actions that originates from a different mindset that is different from ours. And that is what happens when people with different cultural backgrounds come to work together. This difference in rules of engagement and success affects are our success in engaging with them.Apr 21 2013: Nature, nurture, and the choices people make.
on nurture their home society's values and their values, education, upbringing, the level of corruption in their home society, resources, role models, the strategies they develop to get ahead and self discipline (also part nature).
Diversity can be enriching, but too much diversity in values can be problematic.

Apr 21 2013: It depends on who the people are and what the game is. I would hope -- since they have the capacity -- they would reconcile. I am an optimist.Apr 21 2013: The differences are related to personality and culture and who knows what else. Good point as it happens all the time.

Apr 21 2013: Thanks ZX Style, your response is right on point. Yes we have people whose values and beliefs allowed them to design their individual rules of success in a certain way. Yes it could be very similar among people in a mono cultural environment but it breeds conflict and distrust in an intercultural workspace.
Thanks for your insight it will be good to hear more from you.
Fritzie -
Apr 20 2013: If I understand your question correctly, I believe there are many common features in how humans interact and some patterns that are specific to people's cultures and communities. For example, we speak in different languages, because different languages "work." When a variety of things "work," we can expect a variety of forms to crop up.
- +1
There are some facial expressions that, I have read, have essentially the same meaning in all cultures, and others that vary for different cultures.
When people interact, their best guesses of what people mean by what they say and don't say and what they do are based on what they are used to in their communities or what they have been told about other communities. Or people form stereotypes based on some experience in their past or needs that they have and have a hard time getting beyond them, in part because emotional response is not even conscious and can become ingrained at that level.
The consequences in terms of misunderstandings, actions people take because of misunderstandings, and collaborations that don't work well are apparent.Apr 20 2013: A society would become a confused one if citizens have not clear values or similar views of right and wrong.
Problems arise when people give excuses for their failings (or think they can) while they expect 'others' to always play by the rules.

I decided last night to try zinc oxide, Burt's Bees diaper rash cream.
It isn't my favorite diaper cream for my little one, so I had a practically unused tube.
I probably shouldn't switch around from one remedy to another so much, but I just thought I would give it a try.
I washed my face and put it on my red marks last night (just a tiny bit) before bed.
My red marks are a lot less noticeable this morning!
I am actually sort of amazed that it did anything. I thought it would make me break out because it is so thick and creamy.
Maybe it would work like a mask for occasional use between peels to help with red marks.
Does anyone know how long you have to leave it on for it to work? I just slept in it.
I was impressed, and thought I would share it with you. Probably zinc oxide cream intended for the face works better, but this worked pretty well for me.

I stopped using it because it contained 2 antimycotic ingredients and wasnôt an acne product... I donôt know of an acne product containing exclusively zinc oxide here where I live....
...so I bought a few creams from eucerin, one has zinc oxide(1 of the components) and the other lactic acid... and they are meant for oily skin....
so, I hope they work

Fossils can connect children to the history of our planet. It allows them to simultaneously imagine how ancient life might have been, while examining current habitats and species that could become the fossils of the future. This fun activity from Kaboose.com let's kid creative their very own fossils that can be ancient or modern!
What you'll need:
- 1 cup of used coffee grounds
- 1/2 cup of cold coffee
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of salt
- Wax paper
- Mixing bowl
- Some small objects to make impressions in the dough (Shaped cookie cutters work well.)
- Empty can or a butter knife
- Toothpicks, optional
- String to hang your fossil, optional
How to make it:
- Stir the together the coffee grounds, cold coffee, flour, and salt until well mixed.
- Knead the dough together and then flatten it out onto the waxed paper.
- Use the can to cut out circles of the dough or use the dull knife to cut slabs large enough to fit your "fossil" objects.
- Press your objects firmly into the dough. When you take the object out, you have your "fossil". If you want to hang the fossil, poke holes into the edge to hold the string.
- Let the fossil dry overnight (and up to two days) and then hang it if you wish.
To reduce the drying time, bake the fosils for a short period of time.

To celebrate the end of National Foster Care month, today's Happy Tail is about a special-needs cat named Miss Pearl whose life was transformed by the ASPCA's office foster program.
Have you ever heard the expression, "It takes a village to raise a child?" Well, sometimes, it takes a "village" to save an animal, as well! Such was the case with Miss Pearl, a feisty four-year-old cat who came to the ASPCA in August 2013. Pearl has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), and when we first met her, she also had a host of behavioral problems ranging from anxiety to aggression. We knew from the start that she would be a handful.
When Pearl first arrived at the ASPCA Adoption Center, she was upset. She growled, swatted, and did not take well to being petted down her back. We quickly learned that she was severely cat-aggressive and would redirect on people if she became upset by another cat. Because of her fears and issues, she had to spend much of her time isolated—which made it difficult to work on her socialization skills. But instead of giving up, we grew more determined than ever to help this frisky feline. We decided to enroll her in the ASPCA's office foster program.
The office foster program is a unique concept that gives special-needs cats a chance to live in the office of one of our team members, allowing the animal to be socialized while receiving lots of extra attention. In November, Helene G., who works in the Licensing Department at the ASPCA, agreed to foster Miss Pearl. The results were amazing.
"Miss Pearl was transformed within two days of being here," recalls Helene. The extra attention was just what she needed, and in her two-month stay, she won many hearts. Helene says, "Pearl loved being held and stroked and loved getting visitors from all over the office. In fact, a self-described "dog person" in the office fell in love with her and was a frequent visitor!" The foster program worked wonders for Pearl, and by February, she was ready for adoption.
"The day Pearl left was bittersweet for all of us," Helene says. "Her picture is still my screensaver." But Helene, along with the rest of the staff, knew that her job was done. In February, Pearl was adopted into a forever home.
We caught up with Pearl's new mom, Laura, who says that she's doing really well. Laura renamed her Kiko, and tells us, "I absolutely love having her and couldn't be happier having her as my little companion." Though she was rehabilitated through our office foster program, Kiko still maintains much of her friskiness: "She goes crazy for treats, and she'll hunt me down, follow me everywhere, meow and purr until I give her some! I can't refuse her antics," she laughs. But her sweet side shines, too. "When she takes naps, she snores! It's so adorable."
From the ASPCA to Helene's office to Laura's home, Kiko has touched many lives. She is proof of what can happen when we all work together, and though we miss her presence around the office, we are so proud of all that she has accomplished.

Posted on November 12, 2012 Dr. Don Huber
Update 11/12/12
Dr Huber Spoke at the WAPF conference this past wk. If there is one presentation to buy this is the one. Dr. Hubers information is startling. If you have been following this story linking glyphosate and a new pathogen you will know the importance if his work. Here are a few tid bits; The 'New' Pathogen is close to being sequenced, maybe within the month more information on this story. The US has dipped 25% in human fertility rate in the last 5 years. 93% of US females have this pathogen in their system. It appears the pathogen will be a prion or prion like. The pathogen is the first of its kind in its ability to cross between plant, animal and humans with the same destructive force harming fertility of its host. It is directly associated with glyphosate and is harbored in the soil and our food chain.
One paraphrase from the talk '...we are on the brink of a calamity...risk of loosing an entire generation....'
I think the link to buy the talk by Dr Huber will be posted soon on the WAPF.org site.
Dr. Huber is a retired Colonel, 13 years Joint Chiefs of Staff (two administrations), 40 year Purdue University pathologist emeritus
From Huber's summary: "The introduction of such an intense mineral chelator as glyphosate into the food chain through accumulation in feed, forage, and food, and root exudation into ground water, could pose significant health concerns for animals and humans and needs further evaluation."

Farm loses organic certification due to contamination by Monsanto GM canola
Posted on April 6, 2011 By takver
"The government mislead us and now our farmers and consumers are paying the
price. Laws need to be enacted to protect the majority of farmers want to
stay GM-free. Farmers must be compensated for any loss of premiums and
certification that result from GM contamination." said Harrison, "A majority
of people will not buy GM contaminated food products and are flocking to
organics but this incident puts that trust under a cloud."

In an interview by Dr. Joseph Mercola with Jeffrey Smith mention was made of
a two-year study under the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian
Academy of Sciences was carried out by biologist, Dr Alexey Surov is to be
published this summer. The study involved the feeding of hamsters (three
generations) on Genetically Modified soy with a focus on the impact on their
reproductive system. The soybean plant had a bacteria implanted into it,
after it was sprayed with the agricultural giant Monsanto's Roundup
herbicide, which prevents plant death. The treatment of this soybean plant
represents 91% of the U.S. soybean crop in terms of treatment.

"Great News" Pediatricians refuse to treat non-vaccinating patients
Posted on April 2, 2011 Dave Wetzel
(NaturalNews) As though joining a noble cause, some pediatricians in the U.S. are making the decision not to see patients, who are unvaccinated, and are calling upon colleagues to do the same. Ironically, one reason given, and feigning great heroism in its expression, is to keep waiting rooms free of "diseased patients". The reality, however, is quite different. Outbreaks of diseases commonly vaccinated against are most often found in individuals, who have received the vaccine. Dr. William Atkinson, senior epidemiologist with the CDC confirmed this fact when he reported: "Measles transmission has been clearly documented among vaccinated persons. In some large outbreaks...over 95% of cases have a history of vaccination <http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccination.html> ." This is true with regards to other diseases as well.

Dr. Huber and the Impact of Glyphosate in the Food Chain
Posted on March 31, 2011 Dave Wetzel
Copyright 2011 – by Steven McFadden
After trucking across the high plains for five hours, and casting my eyes over perhaps 100,000 acres or more of winter's still deathly gray industrial farmland, I came face to face with the newly famous Dr. Don M. Huber in the cave-dark meeting room of the Black Horse Inn just outside the American Heartland village of Creighton, Nebraska.
On the morning of March 24, along with about 80 farmers and Extension agents, I listened as Huber discoursed with erudition and eloquence upon industrial farming practices that may be impacting nearly every morsel of food produced on the planet, and that subsequently may also be having staggeringly serious health consequences for plants, animals, and human beings.
Huber is emeritus soil scientist of Purdue University, and a retired U.S. Army Colonel who served as an intelligence analyst, for 41 years, active and reserves. In Nebraska, he stood ramrod straight for three hours with no notes and spoke with an astonishing depth and range of knowledge on crucial, controversial matters of soil science, genetic engineering, and the profound impact of the widely used herbicide glyphosate upon soil and plants, and ultimately upon the health of animals and human beings.
More on Glyphosate - Don Huber's Warning to Vilsack and his Cover Letter

Don M. Huber, Professor Emeritus of Purdue University writes a cover letter about his letter to Vilsack plus the text and images from his original letter regarding his concerns about glyphosate.
Paper by Huber and Haneklaus on Managing Nutrition to Control Plant Disease
Managing Nutrition to Control Plant Disease.
Don M. Huber1 and S. Haneklaus2
1Botany & Plant PathologyPurdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA 2Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Braunschweig, Germany
Plant diseases are a major limitation to improved production efficiency and crop quality as they reduce nutrient availability, uptake, distribution, or utilization by the plant. Disease symptoms frequently reflect the altered nutritional status of the plant and it is frequently difficult to clearly distinguish between the biotic and abiotic factors involved.

mysql query solution to this problem?
I have a database with two tables that I'm using to construct one large HTML table out of. I've coded a solution but it uses a loop inside a loop with some mysql_data_seek hacks and it's getting slow. I'm hoping to speed it up.
One database table is essentially providing a 'parent title' and the other table is providing child sub parts to each title.
For example, table parent:
id text
1.1.2 This is a parent row
1.1.3 This is another parent row
table child:
id text
1.1.2.a This is child text belonging to 1.1.2
1.1.2.b This is child text belonging to 1.1.2
1.1.2.c This is child text belonging to 1.1.2
1.1.3.a This is another child row
Now I *could* just combine everything into one table but that gets awkward for me elsewhere in my program.
The code I created (and the core logic I need to replicate) needs to check that parent.id >= child.id AND parent.id < a mysql pointer I have looking ahead in child.id. This is because the table has to format with parent and child parts formatted correctly.
I hope I've explained that OK. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

The problem is you have no relationship enforcement, so no matter what you do you'll end up with complicated queries or magnitude increasing loops. Both of which will slow your code down.
The best thing to do would be to simply add the parent id to the child table since you have a 1 to many relationship. Fortunately that can be done easily by slicing up the existing id, so long as the format is identical for every record a regex can be used to match the x.x.x values out of the existing id. You can then either retain the child's id as x.x.x.Y, or you can use a composite key of the parent/child with x.x.x and Y.
Querying than becomes exceedingly easy:
Which now becomes a single loop. Formatting is then controlled simply by tracking changes in the parent. Using seeking is very slow and should be avoided in favour of ordering instead.Code:SELECT pt.text, c.text FROM parent_table pt INNER JOIN child_table c ON c.parent_id = pt.id ORDER BY pt.id, c.id ASC
Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)PHP Code:
header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm');
Users who have thanked Fou-Lu for this post:
Well, to be fair, you don't really have to change the existing tables, at all.
You will get better performance if you do. That is if you convert your child table to:
but you *can* do that on the fly, in the query, if you have no control over the existing data.Code:id subid text 1.1.2 a This is child text belonging to 1.1.2 1.1.2 b This is child text belonging to 1.1.2 1.1.2 c This is child text belonging to 1.1.2 1.1.3 a This is another child row
You could do:
But that SUBSTR function will mean that you won't be able to take advantage of any index on child_table.id and, of course, you pay the penalty of the extra time needed to use SUBSTR.Code:SELECT pt.text, c.text FROM parent_table pt, child_table c WHERE pt.id = SUBSTR( c.id, 1, LENGTH(pt.id) ) ORDER BY pt.id, c.id
It's not a good idea. It's just something you'd do if you were desperate.
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.

One of the biggest challenges that beginner and intermediate angler's face is trying to determine what fish are eating....and how that relates to the flies that you should be using. This class is designed to take the mystery out of fly selection.You will learn alot about bugs and their life cycles as well as other food organisms that fish eat. After getting pretty in-depth though, we will simplify things for you and make the process seem much easier and understandable than you ever imagined.

Sara Rue was again in the most current episode broadcast May 10,2012, "Goodbye Dolly", where she is in the later stage of pregnancy for Jeff and Audrey's child.

I've come across some interesting people since beginning my blog at age ten. Aldon Smith, the 49ers first round pick, once gave me an explicit set of life lessons, but one of my greatest stories came in San Francisco. It was late in August and late at night. I had snook out of my hotel room in the Westin St. Francis at midnight to type up an interview I had done the day before with Tampa Bay Rays All-Star Ben Zobrist. The Cincinnati Reds happened to be staying there the night before they were set to fly out. Brandon Phillips, a notoriously obnoxious player, walked up to me and said, "What up dawg." At midnight, half-asleep, I was still a tad star-struck. Following the trend, I went down the next day to use the WiFi and what do you know, the Arizona Diamondbacks had flown into to face the team that would go onto to win the World Series, the San Francisco Giants. I plopped down in the café area and watched Justin Upton walk by, and then his fellow outfielder, Chris Young. I was curious where they were going and then I found their destination.
Justin Upton, Mark Reynolds, now an Oriole, Chris Young, and multiple personnel members gathered with their gadgets including iPad's and computers in a conference room with Nature Valley bars and fruit around them...drafting for fantasy football. The third baseman Mark Reynolds caught me spying and welcomed me in, so I found a seat next to Justin Upton, the only one there without a beer. We were looking through some of the players he was going to keep his eye on. Upton, one of baseball's best young players, had possession of the first pick overall. He was sold on drafting Titans halfback Chris Johnson, who came out with the worst rap song I've EVER heard. I decided to find out if Reynolds, who led the MLB in strikeouts in 2008, 2009, and 2010, needed any help because Justin Upton seemed to be fine and unaware if he could trust a 14 year old. Reynolds replied with one of my favorite comments of my short career, "No thanks. I need more help hitting than drafting," as he held a Budweiser. Sadly, Mark could've used my help. He finished the season batting .198.
Let's get on topic. Multiple news reports have been released saying that the NFL Lockout is coming to a close this month, as soon as this week. ESPN has said that the two parties are in "deal-making mode" and are "80-85 percent done." Good news for everyone? I think so. But if this isn't good news for you this means that you are either:

Private property rights.
Should a private property owner (specifically commercial in this debate) be able to decide who can or cannot enter his/her land? In America, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 federally prohibited segregation or discrimination based on sex, gender, ethnicity, etc.. But is it right that those who rightfully own land are forced to allow everyone to use it? Keep in mind that this is not a debate over racism or sexism, it is merely an inquiry on the rights a property owner has.
Mark Meyer
Jul 3 2011: The judicial history of this topic is interesting and offers good counterpoint to libertarian approaches. The main principle is "State Action" – the state is prohibited from discriminating based on race. State action makes its way into private affairs because of the ubiquitous use of the state to enforce the law and provide public services. The main precedent comes from the 1948 Supreme Court case Shelley v. Kraemer, where the state was called to enforce racially restrictive property covenants. Both buyer and seller were willing, but a third party in the neighborhood sued on the basis of the covenants. The court agreed that we are free to enter any contracts we like, but when we call upon the state to enforce them we are asking the state to make "available to such individuals the full coercive power of government to deny to petitioners, on the grounds of race or color, the enjoyment of property rights."
- +2
It didn't take long for this precedent to find other outlets and the courts realized that it is almost impossible to do business without some state action, making it is almost impossible to enforce racial discrimination in business. The state is involved in almost all business—zoning, public sewers, licensing, etc.
Lombard v. Louisiana is also good reading: http://supreme.justia.com/us/373/267/case.html:
"The principle that a man's home is his castle is basic to our system of jurisprudence.
But a restaurant, like the other departments of this retail store where Negroes were served, though private property within the protection of the Fifth Amendment, has no aura of constitutionally protected privacy about it. Access by the public is the very reason for its existence."
"…There is no constitutional way, as I see it, in which a State can license and supervise a business serving the public and endow it with the authority to manage that business on the basis of apartheid, which is foreign to our Constitution."— Justic Douglas, concurring opinion
Jul 3 2011: Thank you so much Mark. I studied voraciously about Shelley v. Kraemer. I just don't like the degree to which the States have intervened in matters of business outside of government. I am a Constitutionalist (as you can probably tell).Your second paragraph totally opened my eyes and now I realize that the real issue is government involvement. As long as the State's are involved in enforcing equality in governmental matters, there is no way that they could stray from their stance if called upon in the courts.
You make a very great point. Thank you again for explaining and allowing me to see the big picture of it all.
Jul 9 2011: Would the interpretation of Shelley v. Kraemer be applicable to employment discrimination as well? To follow the pattern of thought of the original question; why shouldn't employers be allowed to discriminate when they hire people. They're only hurting themselves if they don't take the best person available for the job. An employer would not be calling upon the state to enforce their decision not to hire someone based on race, creed, etcetera. If the potential employee is denied the job and they refuse to leave the property authorities would not be removing them because of their race or creed rather because they are not an employee.
- +1
Note to onlookers: I'm not saying I agree with employment discrimination.
Zaz Tao
Jul 10 2011: People shouldn't own. They should just use. Rights should be a given.Jul 8 2011: No one owns anything. It assumes we are separate. It is actually a highly alienating concept. You can sense that you own nothing and that you own everything in the nature of how it feels to say — experience time...
- 0
As long as needs are turned into wants and corporatism makes scarce the basic resources for our needs we will have the conception of private ownership which will invariably limit our ability to become more altruistic and private property increases will raise private emotions — hence, enforcing our alienation to the outside world which is just as much us as our own bodies. I think some basic reviewing of how natural eco-systems and developmental psychology functions work can help to bring about this supposedly assumed conflict between freedom and common flourishing into clearer focus.Jul 8 2011: But if the state wants to evict you from your land to build a railroad, it has the right to do so with but also without your consent, doesn't it?
Jul 8 2011: like in the USJul 8 2011: Long ago I heard a lecture on this. To my amazement it seems nobody on the planet (except Americans) has real property rights over land.
In the U.K. for example, and in all "commonwealth" nations, the land ultimately belongs to the Queen/King of England. The same for mainland Europeans. The state owns the land.
We simply have superficial property rights that come down to usufruct, and that can, at all times, be taken away from us.
But this doesn't your answer.
Jul 8 2011: that's certainly not true in hungary in that way. you are the true and only owner of your land. however, you are right in one aspect: things in the ground (ores, oil, etc) are owned by the state, and not the land owner.Jul 3 2011: I apologize for replying to everyone's comments but I feel responsible as the curator of this debate board to debate! Thank you all for your input, I really do enjoy learning the other side of it all (even if I sound stubborn or defensive). I'm new to TED and I'm just so happy to have a tool where people can put their opinions on the table and discuss them with others in a civilized manner.Jul 3 2011: what if a property owner happens to control a significant proportion of stores in any area or country and he excludes all hispanics from buying things there? other stores could capitalize on your disadvantage of being hispanic by charging you a higher price because they know you couldn't go anywhere else. that is something else you'd have to consider, since its their property, then they could charge more for one set of customers than another. so you can have exclusive property rights and limit these scenerios or have a minor restriction and eliminate that.
think about the implications of blacks being banned from stores in this place, whites from this place, asians from this place...you would also be creating hostility from whoever is banned toward whoever is banning them. would violent crime increase? would theft increase? maybe you'd even create a race war
Jul 3 2011: Who knows, it may even give people that extra push to start their own business. It is true that people could be taken advantage of but with personal liberty comes adaptation and self-reliance-- two things America has crushed with an increasingly powerful government presence. Also, you have to keep in mind that the vast majority of companies would not implement segregated prices or stores because well, most people aren't racist. Also, it would be a PR nightmare. I'm not saying it's a good idea just that it's logical to allow a property owner to distinguish who can/can't be on their land. Once again, you make some very very good points Gary. Thank you for allowing me to see the other side because what you say definitely makes sense as well.
Jul 3 2011: just because you don't think most people are racist and it would be a PR nightmare doesn't mean it wouldn't happen anyways. the media has a way of shifting opinions if they feel it's in their best interest to blame something on one group and could then limit their freedom. i could definitely see not being able to buy anything in utah unless you were mormon.
For commercial purposes it makes no sense to be able to discriminate who and who can't come on their land to buy things, but they can certainly restrict who they want at their residence. the point i was making before was who knows what the implications of such a policy could be. it would have far reaching effects beyond just not allowing people to buy something at a particular place.
Jul 3 2011: I'm not saying it wouldn't happen. It most definitely would. It would make no sense to anyone but the owner. That's the only important part. Of course they can because a violation on a residential land is called trespassing. Why not on commercial land as well? After all it is still land and one still owns it.
The point you made before is very good. The implications for those who practice segregation as well the segregated could definitely get out of hand but it would be up to law enforcement and the government to defend personal liberties with some sort of punishment.Jul 3 2011: what if? it is still his property. nobody else can enter without permission. why would any hispanics or anyone else go there if they are not welcome?Jul 3 2011: thought experiment. i have a piece of land, and i don't let anyone step on it. so far, we are OK. they i allow exactly one people in. than another. one by one, i let every white straight christian man on my land, but not anyone else. at which point my behavior becomes illegal or immoral?
Jul 3 2011: Immoral yes, but I don't believe it should be illegal.
Jul 3 2011: my question was: at which point?
Jul 3 2011: Morality is subjective. My morals don't match up with another person's.Jul 3 2011: If they are allowed to prohibit people based on a quality, then you run into the problems that caused the Civil Rights Act to be passed in the first place. If it's a commercial property that we're talking about, then why shouldn't everyone be allowed to use it, unless they are infringing on the rights of others? Since it's commercial property, then he'd be making a profit on those using that land, which is the purpose for establishing that commercial enterprise in the first place. Is this in the direction you were looking for?
Jul 3 2011: That's exactly my point. Shouldn't the property owner have the right to exclude whomever he/she wishes? He/she does own the land after all. Because he is federally mandated to allow anyone onto his business, his rights as a property owner are being infringed upon. Who he decides to let on or off his land is beyond the point. If a land-owner refuses to allow others onto his land then he can only be hurting himself profit-wise but it should be up to him nevertheless. Forgive me if this sounds over-the-top it's just difficult to argue for something so controversial. Me being a libertarian, I believe strongly in the rights of property owners.Thank you for your answer though. You make some good points.

I was wondering about the default duration of a pomodoro (25 minutes). In the PDF on the Pomodoro technique it says
The length of a Pomodoro, 25 minutes, seems short enough to make it possible to resist being distracted by various kinds of interruptions.
This seems to suggest that 25 minutes is just a random duration taken by the author which happens to work for him and which many people now seem to use. Are there any scientific studies that indicate that 25 minutes is the optimal time (for most people and most tasks) for a pomodoro?

So much can happen in 24 hours, enough that it can at times be difficult to remember at 11 p.m. what happened at 11 a.m. As time passes, that effect is magnified. So, to remind you of what was going on at this point last year, here's a look at "today," one year ago.

"A good night's sleep of seven to eight hours each night is essential for feeling refreshed and alert during the day," says Medical Director of Bridgeport Hospital's Center for Sleep Medicine Armand Wolff, MD, FCCP, FAASM. "And sleep is also important to all major functions of the body. Studies show that people who get fewer than seven hours of 'quality sleep' a night on a regular basis could develop serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and weight gain."
A sleep study is the first step in identifying an undiagnosed sleep disorder. During a sleep study, a patient's breathing, brain waves and heartbeat are monitored for an entire night. After the study, the physician reviews the data and develops a personalized treatment plan to improve the patient's quality of sleep.
If you think you may have a sleep disorder, please talk to your doctor about a referral for a consultation or sleep study. Or call Bridgeport Hospital's Center for Sleep Medicine directly at 203-384-3817.
The Center recently relocated its diagnostic sleep studies to the newly renovated Bridgeport Holiday Inn. Patients relax in the comfort of their own private hotel room and, in the morning, can enjoy the complimentary breakfast buffet. Plus, patients are welcome to all the amenities of the Bridgeport Holiday Inn, including the indoor pool, fitness center and high-speed wireless Internet.
The Center's Consultation Suite at Bridgeport Hospital houses the physician and clinical specialists' offices for consultation and followup visits.
The Center for Sleep Medicine is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. For more information, please call 203-384-3817.

"Honestly we don't know what effect the cuts really had. My point was and is that you can not blame the WH for not providing additional security when you simply cut the budget."
Are you saying that if Congress does not fully fund every aspect of this administration's programs then the administration can't be held liable for the results? You can not possibly believe this. The numbers you list also make the assumption that all of the money not approved from the proposed budget came directly from embassy security. That should be about the last place it should come from. They could find 1% in office supplies or something innocuous...insinuating that it had anything to do with this terrorist act is ridiculous and insulting. Congress has nothing to say about where the money is allocated within the department once it is appropriated

Re: Easter 2012
Last night at midnight I was hanging out and thought to head upstairs to the roof and get a photo of the local church the next block over here in Burbank.
I took a series of photos with this cheap digital camera of mine. Here's what I was shooting.
Then as I was taking the next shot, the camera for some reason delayed as I pressed the shutter. I don't know what caused it as it never happened before. So I pressed the shutter again thinking that it might fix the problem and voila!
Check out this result! It's a miracle I tell you! I really like how this photo turned out.

As is the tradition for Easter Sunday, I was part of the team that decorates St. Charles Barromeo Church in North Hollywood on Lankershim Boulevard and Moorpark Rd. This is the church that Bob Hope built just down the street from his home in 1959.
Re: Easter 2012
And now for some videos for all.
This is perhaps the oldest hymn in all of Christendom. It dates back long ago to the earliest days of the Christian Church. The name of the song is "Christ Is Risen From the Dead" and in this version, it's sung by monks from Mt. Athos in Greece.
The picture of Christ you see in the video is the first known representation of his image with long hair and a beard. It is dated to the 6th century AD and is kept at St. Katherine's Monastery in Egypt. His left eye as we look at him is the eye of his love for mankind. His right eye as he faces us is the eye of judgement for sinners who have not repented of their ways.
A masterpiece of Christian art that is identical to the proportions on face on the Shroud of Turin. Check out the investigation I conducted a few years ago in 2009 on the old AN Forums...

I have a millermatic 210 in mint condition, but i was thinking about selling it for a new 211. I noticed that they both have the same weld capacity. Would this be a good trade up? The 211 is real small and can operate on 110v which is nice although i usually use my maxstar 150sth if i want to be mobile (for tig of course). Is duty cycle the same on both units? how is the arc on the 211 compared to the 210?

The 210 has a higher duty cycle than the 211. So do you want to trade duty cycle for a more compact size and MVP?

Good God man!.....why would ANYONE want to sell a tool?
The 211 is a great package but I don't know if I would sell one to buy the other....that's a real noggin scratcher.

Gotta go with Broc on this one. Absolutely no reason to trade unless it was even money and then you would be trading down. If you rarely used it then it wouldnt matter much but the 210 is a full chassis machine, hold a full spool of wire, very robust. Rack for big bottle. With regular use would pay for itself in consumable savings.
Like stated, duty cycle big difference. 150 amps at 30% for 211, 160 amps at 60% for 210. Your gun cable length maybe longer too on the 210.
Miller machines are always selling for high prices used, put it out there and see what to get.
If you go to the 211 you will need a cart too where as your 210 it is part of machine. I would think for the 110 volt feature look for a used Miller140. Frequently , guys will upgrade for a 220 volt machine. Now you add one more machine to your group and your good to go. You have your bases covered for whatever you need to weld. Duty cycle might not seem like much when you only weld little things for minutes. BUT, when to got lots of metal to burn and don't want to stop, it is a big thing.

We normally keep politics out of Disapproving Rabbits, but as people who create and sell things on the internet (and have had our work stolen), both Sharon and I feel we should join the protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect-IP Act (PIPA), which as you can probably tell by the names, are designed to fight Internet Piracy.
We feel that the legislation goes too far, gives the government and media companies too much power, and is poorly written. You can learn more about them here, but I urge you to investigate on your own.
We were going to take the site down for 24 hours, but that's a bit tricky on Blogger, so we've switched to the black background for the day, showing our typical "do as little as possible" approach.
DR will return tomorrow.
