First again.
Mpost people call people from WV redneck hillbillies. I am now going to refer to myself as a proud Appalachian-American.
And apply for some sort of federal grant and other benefits due to my minority, hyphenated status.
Is it really lisab or is it Dave F'ing with us? Discuss.
Hey Bitterlaw, did you know that Bronxie has the hots for Rand Paul? LOL
If anti-poverty programs work, why do we stil need them after 47 years? Discuss.
Tim – NYC is a man unto himself. You remain my favorite Democrat. Of course, that bar is pretty low. I just don't understand Democrats but they don't understand me, either. It is a great country.
Jesus said, "The poor you always have with you"
So, my answer is, there will always be work to be done, Bitterlaw. But, these programs have made a difference in a lot of lives. A lot of hungry people have been fed.
Or, should we do away with the School Lunch Program, for instance?
Know who the father of that was?
Richard Russell.
Oh, I understand you, Bitterlaw. And, just between us two, you have a great Party. Just promise me you'll fight like the devil to keep it away from the nuts. And, I promise to do the same, with mine.
I'm just playing my fun games with Bronxie, Bitterlaw.
I'm not sure he understands that, though. LOL
I think he might still be posting comebackers on the previous thread. Oops….
Oh, well. Let him vent. It's good for him.
Tim – In Philadelphia, School Principals are evaluated every year. The principals who enroll the highest numbers of students in the school breakfast and lunch programs are ranked higher than their counterparts with better performance. This leads to principals in wealthier areas of the city like Chestnut Hill and Center City aiming for 100% participation. Does that make sense to you?
On that happy note, I am out.
Glad to know that lisab is back, and doing good.
Goodnight, folks.
Honestly, no. Many programs have flaws that need fixing. And, it's okay to point them out.
But, the hungry kids? They still have to eat. Right?
I thought that was why they get food stamps. The government has to cook and serve it now, too?
14- To further rip Tim's nonsense on richest/poorest state- he does realize that those metrics do not factor for cost of living/ taxes, right?
35,000 a year goes a hell of a lot further in Mississippi than in Connecticut, right?
Actually, adjusted for cost of living, etc- the poorest state in the union is Maine. Also- despite having some similarities, high-tax high spending blue state California has far worse schools than Texas. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Scott Romney announced today he won't run so….
From the last thread, as I did not know this one existed-
The fact that there are pockets of profound poverty in states like Mississippi, which as a whole vote heavily Republican, are directly related to the failures of federal Great Society programs, envisioned and engineered by Democrats, to improve the social and economic lives of traditionally disadvantaged groups of people, specifically African-Americans.
Wealthy places in Connecticut are overwhelmingly white and have had great amounts of wealth for many generations. Those people have not required or been given much in the way of government assistance.
The example that Tim gives is very much evidence against the policies and party he is trying to advocate.
-10 states with highest PERCENTAGE of people on food stamps – looks to me to be about 1/2 red state, 1/2 blue state, maybe 6-4, but remember, this is not total cost, it is percentage of the population using it. Can Tim please tell me why that matters. Oh, by the way, in 2011, over $5 billion was given out in food stamps in NY. Why is it a good thing to have this money being re-distributed, and why does Tim think it this proves his policies are better?
It will be interesting to see how Tim responds to these facts
19- Also the disproportionate levels of poverty among Afr-Amers, which in Southern states (ala Mississippi, SC, LA, etc) where they make up 25% to 30% of the population drags down the overall average compared to lily-white New Hampshire/Vermont. It's best to compare counties to counties really and comparative wealth to cost of living. Horry County, SC (Myrtle Beach) I'd stack up for quality of life against anywhere in CT.
It's very much a logical fallacy to try to associate the political behavior of the state as a whole with economic or social conditions of the state as a whole.
Realistically, the people in these red states that are the poorest vote Democrat and have had their lives most influenced by Democrat policies.
Mississippi may be the poorest state in the Union and may lead in such bad things as infant mortality, etc, but it is also the most heavily African-American state per capita and that heavily influences those statistics.
Perhaps one can claim that these unfortunate conditions are due to racism and discrimination, but others, such as myself would say that they are evidence that the "War on Poverty", despite its good intentions, failed, and have harmed poor people, especially African-Americans in many ways.
We should all agree that they, and all Americans who may have it tough deserve far better.
Further- even as college goes- is there any substantive difference for an in-state student's education (for what their bachelor's counts for in the job market) between an Alabama kid going to 'Bama, a Mississippi kid going to Ole' Miss, and U Conn? Factor more the lower tuition in the former two Southern state schools for their residents — and the lower tax rates, and a family sending their son/daughter to Ole Miss or 'Bama is probably getting a much better deal from their state than UConn kids.
23- Totally agree, parts of the Delta look like a third-world country, but then again, so do parts of the Bronx, or (to keep pounding CT) – parts of New Haven are a very bad place to be- within site of Yale University. Frankly, Northeastern States could be called out for economic/social hypocrisy at a far greater level than their Southern counterparts – considering their levels of de fact segregation.
Finally the Bobcats rout, and I mean ROUT someone.
In Charlotte the Bobcats have just routed the Celtics 100-76
There needs to be an immediate investigation into the Celtics potentially throwing that game for the benefit of gamblers.
I would put nothing past Kevin Garnett.
The President just admitted he doesn't care about balancing the budget. What a great party huh?
@27 no joke for some reason the bobcats cast a spell over him. In the last eight games the bobcats have played against the celtics Garnett has underplayed tremendously allowing for the Bobcats to win.
The bobcats biggest lead was in fact 26
The celtics was 4 and they never lead in the second half.
@28 yeah I read that, I wonder what will come next
This guy is an absolute and utter joke. I don't give a crap if he's good at winning elections. He just admitted he doesn't care about balancing the budget. It makes me more sure of my 2 votes against the dope.
@31 well, author all I can say is wow. He is an absolute hypocrite
@32 he's always been a hypocrite. the man may eb able to win elections but he's proven himself to be a pathetic executive. When you openly admit you don't give a damn about balancing the budget it's no wonder your approval rating has taken such a hit lately. I was so angry when I saw the comment that I threw a bag of popcorn at the tv. All I can say is that I will tell my kids with pride I never voted for this man.
Who cleaned up the popcorn?
@34 the dog
@33 pretty bad when ou waste popcorn.
Even in NY state the approval ratings have plummeted.
Was 68-31
Now 57-38
Even deep blue states are looking at him differently.
Maybe Nan Hayworth should run for her former house seat
36- There are 2-3, possibly 4 pick-up-able seats in NY state- NY-1 (eastern Long Island- Hamptons) Hayworth's old seat, the seat up in the hump of upstate in Plattsburgh that the Dem Owens has held onto by a couple points every time- and the Syracuse seat.
Where my damn money at?
@38 did you ask your dealer?
If Bloomberg had any cajones he would next go after and ban tatoos and piercing.
And plumbers crack, too.
And people who wear pants with the waist down hapfway to their knees.
Farewell Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist, he was the last surviving member of the plot to kill Hitler
41 – That will brighten Bunu's day. Afer losing Chavez, he was prety depressed. The death of somebody who tried to kill one of his heroes will cheer him up.
i'm stunned Bitter didn't touch my popcorn comment
So Jul is running for mayor of emmaus? Good luck, you will not a dime from me
Sorry, Author.
"Damn. That sucks. Don't waste popcorn."
I still could not care less about following Obama's approval ratings. I'm not sure it matters even in 2014. Mt districts aren't competitive anymore. Holding the House or gaining in the House is not enough to stop Obama. Pissing away chances in the Senate in 2010 and 2012 was devastating. If Obama's approval hits 0%, He still has the White House and Dems have the Senate.
Which is more weird:
All the pomp and circumstances and money spend on the royal family in England?
All the pomp and circumstances and money spent by the Vatican in choosing a new pope?
Jul is mad at the Mayor for holding the same views as the person he voted for in the AG race.
Walt – I love pomp and circumstance. I like a fine chalice and stained glass windows. Toss in some marble and incense and it is a religious party.
Bitter it's not about his approval rating, it's about him openly admitting on tape he doesn't care about balancing the budget. The throw popcorn at his image reaction came solely from that. We now have Democrats admitting they don;t care about fiscal sanity. Amazing. But hey party of the people according to Tim right?
best moment of the conclave was when the doors were shut to start the voting. the guy who closed the door looked like a badass doing it.
Bitter – see the news on Jul?
@47 well that's stupid, because the mayor should also have the same views of the democrat Jul voted for for Congress
@51 can you post a link?
Author – one day the bond market will impose austerity . That is what happened in Europe. It hasn't happened here yet for 2 reasons:
1. We are the reserve currency for the world.
2. The size of our credit market makes it the only feasible currency to use for large deals globally .
If those conditions change we are screwed.
MD are you referring to his run for mayor?
Michael – was referring to your post.
@55 he might be referring to a link
Yes Author. My prophecy (bitter knows) is one step closer . Think 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.
@58 do you think he has a chance? Jul?
Yea, he would have a chance.
Will jul also rally his other pals he had run with him for school board, run for the council?
@59 considering Jul himself said he didn't have a chance i'd say no
PS – MC's comment the other day that people here didn't care if I existed was destroyed in the last thread. Was gone for a couple hours and people brought me up. Once again that simple-minded fool puts his foot in his mouth. Oh and for the record NYC GFY about the calling people trolls comment. I already apologized to Pulp and explained myself. The reason people have gotten some ire with you as of late is because of your constant antagonistic attitude about anything anyone says here. Though I will give you props for being consistent in not being afraid to call out Tim on his BS.
Headed to bed now. Might not be around in here tommorow so my regards.
Author there is no need to attack NYCMIKE, sure he is illogical in some (most) of his sentences. But that doesn't mean we have to make fun of him for it!
oh and MD run for my open seat in November just to mess with Bitter's head.
Jul will either be identified by his dental records in a burned out bunker OR be governor of Pennsylvania. There are no other paths for him.
MD – 5 free agent signings and a hot traffic reporter:
@66 you know I cannot decide a decision like that bitter.
It's not your choice. It is Jul's choice.
@69 yeah, I guess what I mean is what I feel would be the best. Advising perhaps
So apparently George P. Bush (Jeb's son- bilingual Hispanic Afghanistan vet) has entered the race for Texas Land Commissioner (that's a major statewide office there). Good for him.
But, the hungry kids? They still have to eat. Right?
Apparently, you won't.
Yes, we do………
Who was the last Republican President who balanced the Budget? We care more about doing it than you do.
You know, since we actually have done it, and all.
Kudos, Corey, for succinctly destroying Tim the Dim's ridiculous arguments.
I still find Tim's "Won't somebody think of the children" moment to be particularly hilarious, considering he was on here yesterday vehemently denying that liberal arguments rely on emotion. Why do you think the majority of women are in the Democratic Party? They act on emotion, not on thought.
And Tim's idea, like most liberal ideas, is short-sighted and doesn't bother to examine the long term implications. Liberals see (or most of the time, make up) a problem for them to solve, and the solution invariably is bigger government and more redistribution of wealth. Tim doesn't bother to consider that by providing lunches to school kids (through redistribution of wealth) instead of forcing parents to work harder and smarter to make more money, government is creating the next generation of lazy, entitled, government-dependent citizens. Why work hard and contribute to society when you can just take everything from government?
Liberals will never run out of problems that government needs to fix. They will always make something up.
Clinton was forced into Tim . You know that. Further, it was the revenue from the bubble that did it. Wasn't sustainable. A pox on all houses though. It would be nice to see the POTUS submit a budget that addresses reality
Who was the last Republican President who balanced the Budget? We care more about doing it than you do.
LOL, DUMBASS. Yeah, it had nothing to do with the first Republican Congress in 40 years.
Liberalism is not based on logic.
Of course it isn't. The Democratic Party is made up of
1) people who want to take as much as they can and
2) Do-gooder busibodies who support government-forced redistribution of wealth so they can feel better about themselves and convince themselves that they care about the poor, the environment, or whatever. As long as they don't have to actively go out and do something to help the poor and environment and can do it through government mandates, they are happy.
Did you even read the story? Did you even see which region of the Country was most affected? The South.
Did you know the number of people on Food Stamps rose by 70% between 2007 and 2011? And, do you know why so many are on Food Stamps? It's because of the economy that tanked, in 2008. That was under the previous Administration. Did you know that 75% of households on Food Stamps have either a senior, child, or disabled person in the house? Did you know that 85% of these same households are below the Poverty Line? What would you realistically suggest we do with them? Let them starve? We have 16 million children below the Poverty Line. Why do you think it immmoral to feed them? What do you want done with them? Your Party has produced no answers; just talk. Your Party, when recently in absolute power, failed.
Here's another fact, for you. Miost people on SNAP are working people. And, most leave the program within a year. So, this stuff about generations of the "nanny state" dependents is utter nonsense, where the Food Stamp Program is concerned.
I respond to facts with facts. Go, and look all of it up.
How's that for logic, boys and girls? I say it's your Party that has left the World of the logical.
More emotional arguments from Tim the Dim that fail to acknowledge the long term implications of his short-sighted policies.
50 million people on food stamps. Do you really think that 20% of the population is so mentally or physically disabled that they are completely incapable of providing for themselves?
A new government study found that the number of able-bodied adults on food stamps nearly doubled after Washington used the stimulus law to lift a key work requirement.
The report from the Congressional Research Service was sent last week to House Republican Leader Eric Cantor. It comes as House Republicans prepare Thursday to try and block a separate work requirement waiver being sought by the Obama administration for welfare recipients.
The CRS study dealt with the work requirement for a particular class of food-stamp recipients — "able-bodied adults" between 18 and 49 years old who have no dependents. Typically the food stamp program requires that group to work or participate in a training program at least 20 hours a week to continue receiving benefits after three months. The stimulus law, though, allowed states to suspend the rule from April 2009 to October 2010 — and most states did.
In that time, the number in that group surged.
I respond to facts with facts. Go, and look all of it up.
Tim's faith in his religion of liberalism = facts.
Anything brought up by anyone here = fiction.
Your Party, when recently in absolute power, failed.
The country was doing pretty well until Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. All downhill since then.
"We care more about doing it than you do."
Hey prick when the leader of your party openly admits he doesn't care about balancing the budget you can't make that comment with a straight face. A hardy GFY and to anyone who says such things when we have 2 diff budget plans. the GOP wants the budget balanced in 10 years (not soon enough IMO) and the Dems don't care about balancing the budget. That's all I need to know old man.
"Your Party, when recently in absolute power, failed."
Fiscally mistakes for sure but we could claim a long period of economic growth and full employment. Your boy who you claim to have not voted for last year but so happily defend can't claim any of that
"I respond to facts with facts. "
LOL is facts?
Tim continues to delude himself with denial. With people like him around it's no wonder the economy keeps going downhill.
Tim frantically searching the Kos archives for more emotional arguments…
We are drowning in debt and deficits and Tim wants people to keep getting their slice of the pie. The leaders of his party are now openly admitting balancing the budget is not in their interest. This man is a prime example why we are where we are. Pure denial. But Tim will always have his emotions huh?
But I know what Tim will say:
Also, as is typical of a Democrat (following Obama's lead), Tim is only interested in talking about the past and trying to point fingers at anyone but themselves. How about talking about the future and which party is best able to lead us out of the fiscal mess we are in? It sure isn't the Democratic Party…
Author, free stuff from the government is better than no free stuff from the government…it's as easy as that.
Free Phones, food, housing, child care, college money, Wi-Fi, medical, transportation, and of course…MONEY!
BTW, Windows 8 "metro" sucks
Is it just me or does it look like a new roof is needed on the sistine chapel?
@98 the next Pope should get right on that
C! suck it!
Stop fighting! It's spftball season. First practice is Saturday at 9:00.
Spitball season?
If you start with the softball, I will drown this place in health and exercise posts. I swear to God.
I'm just excited. Post your BMI as my penalty.
If parents knew how we discuss children and their parents at the draft, they would be stunned. One coach refused to take a very good player because her mom is a bitch. Another refused a player because she had a bad attitude and was a "team killer." She is 11.
"One coach refused to take a very good player because her mom is a bitch."
Translation: he can't hit that
I post what I want when I want! As usual MD goes his own way.
MD and Bitter
Today's Quinnipiac PA Poll has better numbers for Corbett than yesterday's PPP/Jensen Poll. Go look and let me know which is more realistic.
Post em Scott. Not in a position to research.
testing posting here. having trouble the last few days.
Sometimes MD goes his own way for months at a time right off yhe blog. We always leave the light on for him.
Nanny state Tim is doing a lot of trash talking today.
Blame Bush….yawn…..that train left the station about 4 years ago.
Democrats care about balancing the budget??? LOL
What do you propose doing with the poor?
Thanks, Nanny state Tim, I would love to answer that.
How about giving them opportunities in a market based economy rather than keeping them on government handouts so they feel beholden to the Democratic party? How about freeing them from sub-standard housing and sub-standard schools?
When people outside SE PA hear Alyson Schwartz, Corbett's numbers will soar. She ran an abortion clinic but Ishe says she was a healthcare administrator. Of course, Jul will vote for her.
Was working in NYC yesterday.
There was a guy on the corner of 34th and 7th holding a "SAVE PAUL" sign.
I thought it might be NYC-Paulbot but I had a meeting, no time to chat.

Precipitous Pope Pick Poser
How many pontificating cardinal people could pick a pope,
If pontificators–pray–pick a pope?
They can pick a prime pope
and give the world hope
If cadinal people would pick a pretty popular pope
"that's a shame…I have high hopes for Jennifer Carroll"
It will help Scott in his tough battle next year. She was having constant scandals/gaffes

"Maybe the female Attorney General (?) can get bumped up to Lt gov."
Lord knows I get bumped when I see her
107- 111- the quin poll seems about right, not great numbers for Corbett but better than PPP- I think some smart politicking-getting some more well-liked policies passed with those majorities will help him, that and a bloody dem primary where at least one dem (likely McCord) tries to run to the right of Schwartz/ as a non-Washington populist, and hits her on things like bitter mentioned. Sestak is a wild-card. It was long assumed Schwartz would run against Toomey in 2016- but as she's giving up her seat one way or another and blowing that campaign nest-egg she has, that leaves that Dem field more open.
I would be surprised if she did though WPA. She would be joining up on a race where she and Scott would start as underdogs. She can stay where she's at and be easily re-elected. She's pretty popular in the state.

Tea Time: Russian Tea Cakes
One of the many delights of living in Great Britain – in addition to the fantastic ale, beautiful country gardens, and the population's passion for the world's greatest sport (football!) – is their fondness for tea. Growing up in the Seattle area – arguably the coffee capital of the United States – I was in almost complete ignorance of how much joy can be derived from a handful of tea leaves, a splash of cream and a spoonful of sugar. My morning pot of tea has become a daily ritual that I absolutely love.
As busy as life can be these days, sometimes I haven't got the time to actually sit still and savor my tea as I should. In an effort to slow myself down and devote a bit more time to the simple things in life, I've decided to devote one posting a month to 'Tea Time' and the litany of delicious treats that may sit alongside a cup on one's saucer.
The recipe below is from my mother, ostensibly handed down to her from my grandmother. They are sometimes referred to as Russian Tea Cookies and at other times as Russian Tea Cakes, but by any name they are absolutely fantastic and a perfect accompaniment to a cup of your favorite tea. They were particularly well suited to Twinings Prince of Wales tea on this morning, but would undoubtedly be delicious with an English/Scottish/Irish breakfast blend or an Earl Grey as well.
Makes: 2 dozen cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar + extra for rolling
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Mix butter and 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, blending thoroughly. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and walnuts. Work into the butter-sugar mixture using hands (this step is admittedly quite messy, but is important to attain the right consistency in the cookies – using a spoon or electric mixer will alter their texture).
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place one inch apart on baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Let cool for 2 minutes, then sprinkle well with remaining confectioner's sugar.

While Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is still to hand Jores Okore his first-team comeback this season, the centre-back could be set to start for Denmark on the weekend.
Aston Villa centre-back Jores Okore is still to make a first-team appearance for the club this season, but the promising 22-year-old could be in line to start for Denmark in Saturday night's Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania.
With first-choice duo Daniel Agger and Simon Kjaer struggling with injuries, manager Morten Olsen is said to favour giving Okore the nod over uncapped Nantes defender Kian Hansen for the trip to Elbasan, where he would pair up with former FC Nordsjælland teammate Andreas Bjelland.
The Villa man admits that he is still not quite up to full speed after the ruptured ACL tear suffered last season, but believes he is fit enough to put in a reliable shift on the weekend.
'Of course, training isn't quit the same as match fitness but, with self-discipline, you can stay sharp. I do not think it's going to have an effect, although I am missing the last percentages. I feel ready,' he told Danish newspaper BT on the prospect of lining up with Bjelland again.
'Our knowledge of each other is vast and it is not something you just lose, even if you are away from each other. We know each other really well and talk to each other every day.
'I know his strengths, and he has not changed much especially since we played together at Nordsjælland. We know where the other is on the field, and knows when we shall cover of one another.'

|Jores Okore
Signing from Nordsjælland last summer for around £4 million, Okore made just four appearances during his first season at Villa before rupturing his ACL in a game against Newcastle United on September 14.
He managed to return to the pitch during pre-season, however, and has since gone on to feature for both the club's under-21 side and the national team as a 67th-minute substitute in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia last month.
Nevertheless, despite Ron Vlaar being sidelined with a groin strain since late-August, Okore is still to make his first-team comeback, with summer signing Philippe Senderos being paired with either Nathan Baker or Ciaran Clark for the past four Premier League games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, respectively.
Manager Paul Lambert revealed prior to the recent 2-0 home defeat to the holders that the eight-times capped international is nearing contention for minutes but, having been most fan's first-choice to start alongside Vlaar at the start of the campaign, his prolonged absence has been somewhat concerning.

Infiltrating Indigo Brink: An introduction of the villains of Manticore RISING
The green hell of Rigant Vortex... somewhere in there, hidden by cosmic vapors, lies the hideout from which Indigo Brink plans its operations.
Last week we introduced you to Hayley, Bryce, Sun and Kyrrk – the heroes of Galaxy on Fire - Manticore RISING on the new Apple TV. However, in order for these four go-getters to become heroes, there also have to be villains whose evil doings call for the interference of a righteous squad of knights in shining armor… or in this case heavily armed space ships. And it is exactly these aforementioned villains that we will deal with in today's blog. So lay back, grab a Union Beer and prepare to meet the infamous pirate horde known as Indigo Brink.
Attacking a bunch of Indigo Brink pirates with all guns blazing...
Originating from the dark heart of the mysterious Rigant Vortex, a highly dangerous area that could best be described as the Neox Sector's very own Bermuda Triangle, the Indigo pirates have quickly worked their way up to become the biggest and most dreaded plague of the "new world". While the irksome but considerably easy-to-fend-off pirate attacks happened with little scheme and planning before, the rising of Indigo Brink introduced the galaxy to a whole new dimension of fear and horror. Under the protectorate of an ambitious yet slightly sociopathic leader, a multitude of smaller pirate outfits merged into a menace unlike anything the Neox Sector had ever witnessed before. Strong in numbers and equipped with high-end technology, these ruthless maniacs are tough as nails and pesky as a swarm of locusts. And they will not stop spreading fear and terror until their grandiloquent plans of seizing the entire Neox Sector have been put into practice… unless, of course, a courageous hero steps up and puts them in their place.
A Styx sporting the somewhat "punkish" paintjob and decals of Indigo Brink -- if you see these neon green colors flashing up infront of you, better get the hell outta there!
While you will face, and hopefully defeat, wave after wave of Indigo pirates in Galaxy on Fire - Manticore RISING, the gang members you are going to meet in that game mark only a fraction of the Brink's full size. And compared to the enemies that are still out there, the bosses you are going to fight on the Apple TV are mid-carders at best. If you want to face the big shots, you will have book another trip to the Neox Sector in 2016 when Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore blazes onto smartphones and tablets. Cause even though you might have given Indigo Brink some sleepless nights already, you will have to wait until next year before you can scatter their organization once and for all.

For those of you that have taken AP classes this will not be news to you but man it is exciting for me because of the ramifications.
When a student takes AP classes and passes the exam with a 3, 4 or 5 they are recognized by College Board. Once they pass at least 3 AP classes with a 3, 4 or 5 they are considered a National AP Scholar. It is much harder to do than people realize and the school I teach at has not had a National AP Scholar student in 10 years. That is a long drought. This year we have 2 that's right 2 and both of them had me and my AP World History class is the first AP class they took, sat for, and passed the exam.
What does this mean for my students? It means recognition by College Board, it is placed on the top of their transcript and it means money. The students that reach this level get scholarship money and for both of these students that is a very big deal. One wants to be an engineer and the other a history professor. Yes I had a little something to do with that.
So when I heard the news today I did my little happy dance, pumped my fist and said YES. If two can do it than it can be two more and two more until we are in double digits, where we belong and where I know we can get.

This is the kind of movie you expect from an actor turned director: subdued, character-led, respectable. No-one goes Herzog their first time out. Even Mel Gibson waited until his third movie before he went bananas. Actors – leading men, especially – want their first movie to announce: I'm serious. Witness Bob Redford directing Ordinary People; Mel directing The Man Without a Face. Ben Affleck has studied this model carefully during his wilderness years; chosen his source material from an approved writer (Dennis Lehane, who also wrote Mystic River); picked a lot of pug-ugly non-actors for "authenticity". Michael Bay mightn't love it; John Cassavetes would.
In the kind of blue-collar Boston neighbourhood where you aren't a man unless you're unkempt, Casey Affleck is making a living as a private investigator. He works with his girlfriend (Michelle Monaghan), running down guys who've skipped on their loan re-payments. He doesn't specialise in missing children, but he's given a missing child case. Four-year-old Amanda McCready has disappeared and the cops don't seem to be making headway. Amanda's aunt asks Casey to talk to the people who won't talk to the police, and Casey, out of neighbourhood loyalty, agrees to help.
Ben Affleck doesn't romanticise the milieu for this movie, but he respects it. There's a weird dignity to the people of south Boston that comes from being spat on. If Gone Baby Gone is about anything, it's about sticking up for yourself when others seek to judge… whether because you're poor, drunk, Irish, or formerly engaged to Jennifer Lopez. This proud/unsympathetic nature is nowhere better realised than in Amy Ryan's performance as Amanda's mother: a foul-mouthed drunk whom Casey rightly sees as the wronged party, despite her faults. Ryan isn't an easy conscience-pricker, but she's real, and Gone Baby Gone benefits from looking at her straight.
Dennis Lehane is Affleck's real problem. Lehane just isn't Boston's answer to Cormac McCarthy. He's more like a staff writer on Law & Order. He knows the jargon; how to spin a yarn; his cops aren't likely to end up in car chases… but nor does he convince you. Gone Baby Gone has a B-movie plot when Affleck wants to make an art-house feature. There are too many double-crosses, too many outlandish motives. Subtle details (like the Morgan Freeman character's bereavement) suddenly morph into plot points. The second-half of the movie feels like a Gus Van Sant movie had been focus-grouped, and the fat guy from Idaho said he'd like more gunfire.
Casey Affleck makes a credible lead, even if he's too pretty to threaten a Haitian drug-lord. He looks like Ben after a night in custody. When he squints he's more himself than when he's smiling. His performance here isn't creepy the way he was in The Assassination of Jesse James…; he's the Last Honourable Man in the tradition of Philip Marlowe. He's got a good face for Catholic guilt; pale and full of shadows. His best scenes are when he's ashamed. When he faces down Ed Harris, he does so hollow. His isn't a comforting morality.
As a story of child abduction, Gone Baby Gone is nonsense – but the movie is still worth watching. It's worth it because Ben Affleck has a first-time director's passion and an actor-director's way with actors. He's determined not to drop the ball, even when his story turns ridiculous. You sense it in the last scene, when it's as if – having given that fat guy from Idaho his pound of flesh – Affleck dials the tone back down, to where he wants it: subdued. Casey Affleck takes a seat on a couch and watches television. The movie is over (don't worry, I won't spoil it) and he's kept his dignity. Ben's with him (I sense), sighing relief, finally absolved, free of Jennifer.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: 0.7
Component/s: JMS AMQP 0-x
The c++ broker could resend commands after failover that is no longer valid on the client side.
The commands maybe invalid (removed from the internal map) for two reasons,
1. These commands could have been acted on the client side but were unable to confirm to the broker before failover happened.
2. It could also that the c++ broker is actually sending commands that were already acked due to a bug on the broker side.
So far I haven't been able to conclusively determine which of the above is causing the duplicate commands.
Since this is only surfaced very recently I am speculating that it is the later as if it was the former then it would have been detected a lot earlier as the JMS client lacked any error handling in this area.
It could also be that the broker is replaying only responses to certain commands like ExchangeQuery QueueQuery etc..
These commands are sent by the JMS client only if the new addressing scheme is used, hence the reason why this issue can be reproduced only when the new addressing syntax is used.
Irrespective of whether it's a broker bug or not the Java client should be able to handle this error.
For example the c++ broker seems to resend an ExchangeQueryResult after failover, that had actually been sent to the client before failover. This causes a NPE on the JMS client which doesn't get handled properly and eventually kills the connection. This causes the client to retry the connection which in turn causes errors like Session already attached.

Well, Kevin knows how to bring out the best in people.
Last night, Kevin Hart had a lot to say after winning the award for Favorite Comedic Movie Actor at the 2017 People's Choice Awards on Wednesday. That also included calling out his "Jumanji" and "Central Intelligence" co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
During his speech, Hart thanked all his co-stars before adding, "Except The Rock, because he hasn't helped me. He hasn't helped me at all. You've actually lessened my talent. It went down since you've been in my life.
The Rock gives Kevin the "dirty bird" as a response to the snub.

At present, having recently got divorced, I am feeling somewhat cynical, even world-weary, about marriage…
…though not, interestingly enough, about love.
I have kept my bright optimism concerning love, I think because I can see it outside the narrow context of marriage and recognise that it can burn as fiercely for a parent, a child, a sibling, a close friend as it does for a spouse.
Mine was not a marriage which included the diamond. I had no engagement ring to jettison at the end of the process because we did not actually get engaged. Nor did I get married in flowing white. Nor in a church.
My wedding band has now gone. I assume our wedding certificate, from Weston-super-Mare's Registry Office, lurks in the house somewhere. Neither of us, in the gradual de-cluttering of the place, has either mentioned or claimed this document. Our nineteenth anniversary, which would have happened two days ago, passed with as little comment as the previous eighteen had done.
I am, currently, in limbo; so, to be fair, is my ex. We continue to share the same house, though not the same bed or room. It is an uneasy truce, an uneasy time. We try our hardest to keep things as civil as we can, both for our own emotional well-being and, more importantly, for our son.
We have very different ideas when it comes to de-junking. This has not given rise to any overt conflict – though there is a kind of passive-aggressive simmering, a Summer of Discontent – but, for me, the symbolic chain it creates drags the boat perilously close to capsizing.
You see, and to continue my boat metaphor started yesterday, the shared vessel has to be cleared of all baggage – all those shipping containers full of goods from countries all over the world which make the boat so heavy – before the passengers can disembark, take their own coracles and paddle up a new stretch of the river or explore a previously unknown part of the ocean.
I seem to have floated far from marital cynicism, don't I? But, perhaps, the distance is less than it appears; perhaps it is, in fact, a mirage!
The reason we did not get married in a church was because my ex already was, and had, an ex! He now has two ex-wives! Bags battered from Marriage One took up residence in Marriage Two. They will now accompany him, along with the baggage from Marriage Two, into whatever emotional ties he takes on in the future. Marriage Three? Who knows! Not my business! But Wife Three conforms with the trio motif which so litters our fairy stories and folk tales. Third Time Lucky and all that!
Me? Once was more than enough, frankly. I have unlimited capacity for love; but my desire for, and patience with, the formal State of Marriage, is very limited, and I very much doubt that I will be collecting Husband Two (no matter how much I may come to love any man I get involved with in the future!)…
It could be argued – and probably has been by those who have chosen to take my ex's side – that he was very unlucky to pick two rotten apples from the Uxorial Barrel, and from two different countries/decades to boot. Poor chap!
I am also not going to claim that I was the perfect wife. I wasn't. Who is? I've never met her myself – other than within the pages of fiction, that is! – have you? But I was not, and am not, a rotten apple. A bit bruised, maybe, and withered from age – but not worm-infested or purulent within!
But, for all my faults – and they are many and, by and large, recognised by Yours Truly! – I am now filling sacks with rubbish as fast and efficiently as I can and bunging it overboard at a rate of knots. My rule of thumb: If I had no idea it still lurked within the corners of the garage/hadn't played with it for decades/had forgotten I had ever bought it, why keep it?! If it wasn't important enough to remember, it certainly is not important enough to take up valuable space in a down-sizing exercise!
Was I ever tempted to get out the club, give my ex a terminal bang on the occiput and then use the spade to lob him under the patio? No, of course not! I'd never have got the bloodstains out, for starters, and the smell would have precluded any hope of a successful sale of the house. More seriously, for all that he and I have parted, he remains our son's loving father – and I would venture to suggest that a Kit- Form/Soggy Dad is neither use nor ornament.
Besides, for all that I can be a cynical and sarcastic old trout, I do not have that much hatred or violence within me – and I did love the bugger once upon a long time ago!
Oddly enough, I wish my ex well in his new phase. I hope he will be happy and successful, that his life will be the way he wants it to be.
Revenge is corrosive and pointless. I would far rather tip vengeful thoughts over the side with all the rest of the unwanted baggage – and only keep small cases containing forgiveness, creativity, love and light.

PAULETTE CHANDLER, ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF DOUGLAS CHANDLER, DECEASED, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Randolph County. No. 00-L-25 Honorable Jerry D. Flynn, Judge, presiding.
Justices: Honorable Richard P. Goldenhersh, J.,
Honorable Philip J. Rarick, J., and
Honorable Melissa A. Chapman, J.,
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Justice Goldenhersh
The instant case originated after a car driven by Douglas Chandler (decedent) and a train owned and operated by Illinois Central Railroad Company (defendant) collided with each other. The crossing at which this accident occurred was once protected by gates, but in 1962, defendant petitioned the Illinois Commerce Commission (Commission) to remove the gates. The Commission granted defendant's petition, and the gates were removed. On October 6, 1997, Paulette Chandler (plaintiff), the administrator of decedent's estate, filed an action against defendant. Plaintiff alleged that defendant's negligence caused decedent's death. The third amended complaint, which is the subject of this appeal, was dismissed by the trial court. The trial court ruled in favor of defendant's motions to dismiss, which were brought pursuant to both section 2-615 and section 2-619 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Code) (735 ILCS 5/2-615, 2-619 (West 2000)). On appeal, plaintiff contends that (1) whether or not a duty exists is a question of law based upon the facts in the complaint, (2) the immunity conferred upon a railroad against its negligence in the case of the installation of flashing signals or crossing gates does not include the instant situation in which defendant petitioned the Commission to remove the crossing gates, (3) section 1535.335(a) of Title 92 of the Illinois Administrative Code (Administrative Code) (92 Ill. Adm. Code §1535.335(a) (1994)) establishes a standard of care that flashing signals generally be placed within 15 feet of the near rail, and (4) subparagraph 5(i) of the amended complaint was not time-barred, because it relates back to the original complaint. We reverse and remand.
On January 16, 1997, decedent collided with a train operated by defendant at the Center Street grade crossing in Tilden, Illinois. The crossing was secured by flashing signals only. The crossing was previously secured by gates, but on March 10, 1962, defendant petitioned the Commission to remove the gates. The Commission granted defendant's petition in July 1962, and the gates were removed.
On October 6, 1997, plaintiff filed her original complaint, which she later voluntarily dismissed. On January 11, 2000, plaintiff refiled her complaint in the circuit court of St. Clair County; however, on May 22, 2000, the trial court transferred the cause to Randolph County on the basis of forum non conveniens. On November 27, 2000, the trial court granted plaintiff leave to file a first amended complaint. In response to the amended complaint, defendant filed a motion to dismiss or strike. On February 23, 2001, the trial court entered an order granting defendant's motion to dismiss. The order also allowed plaintiff 30 days in which to file an amended complaint.
On March 2, 2001, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which was styled "[t]hird [a]mended [c]omplaint." Paragraph five of plaintiff's third amended complaint alleged that defendant committed one or more of the following negligent acts or omissions:
"a. Negligently and carelessly failed to adequately maintain its flashing warning signals;
a. Negligently and carelessly failed to adequately warn motorists of the approach of the train;
b. Negligently and carelessly placed the flashing signals controlling southbound traffic on Center Street more than 15 feet from the rail, contrary to the Illinois Administrative Code[,] Title 92[,] §1535.335;
c. Negligently and carelessly placed the flashing signals controlling such southbound traffic on Center Street in a manner that failed to adequately warn southbound motorists of an approaching train;
d. Negligently and carelessly failed to equip the crossing with gates when the defendant knew or should have known the railroad crossing was ultra hazardous [sic];
e. Negligently and carelessly failed to keep its right-of-way reasonably clear of brush, shrubbery, trees, weeds[,] and other unnecessary obstructions for a distance of at least 500 feet each way from its grade crossing in violation of [section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Commercial Transportation Law (625 ILCS 5/18c-7401 (West 2000))];
f. Negligently and carelessly failed to keep a proper lookout for vehicles at or near the crossing;
g. Negligently and carelessly drove its train at a speed that was not reasonable and proper;
i. Negligently and carelessly failed to stop or slow its train in a manner as to avoid the accident;
j. Negligently and carelessly removed gates from the crossing in question when the defendant knew or should have known that such presented a hazard to motors [sic] on Center Street;
k. Negligently and carelessly failed to have crossing gates protecting the intersection in question."
On March 30, 2001, defendant filed a motion to dismiss and/or motion for a summary judgment, in which it raised numerous arguments why the third amended complaint should be dismissed.
On April 23, 2001, the trial court granted defendant's motion to dismiss. The trial court dismissed subparagraph 5(h) on the basis that plaintiff previously conceded that her claim that the train was being operated at an improper speed was preempted by federal law. The trial court dismissed subparagraph 5(c) on the basis that section 1535.335 of Title 92 of the Administrative Code (92 Ill. Adm. Code §1535.335 (1994)) does not impose a duty on defendant to place signals within 15 feet from the near rail, dismissed subparagraph 5(i) on the basis that it was filed beyond the statute of limitations, and dismissed subparagraphs 5(d), (e), (j), and (k) on the basis that they are precluded by section 18c-7401(3) of the Illinois Commercial Transportation Law (Transportation Law) ...

The Details Blue Parallelwww.blueparallel.com It might seem odd for a South and Central America tour operator to expand into the Mediterranean — particularly when each itinerary is custom-made and promises high-touch insider experiences. But for Blue Parallel, a Virtuoso-preferred supplier since 2013, these parts of the world are as familiar as family. Founder Emmanuel Burgio explains.Why Blue Parallel Goes Where It Goes"It's all very personal," Burgio said. "I grew up in the south of France, my father is from Sicily, and I have friends and family in the Mediterranean Basin. This is a region I belong to. My wife is Argentine, so I've been living in Argentina for many years. After focusing and expanding our reach in Latin America for 12 years or so, we decided to expand into the Mediterranean. We have an administrative office in Maryland and an office in Buenos Aires, and we are also opening a satellite office in Barcelona to help us manage the time difference with our Mediterranean product."Dynamic Duo"Whenever we make a booking, there are two people dedicated to it. One is a customer-care staff member (an American person) who is an expert and has been in contact with the travel agent. That person will continue to be the contact for the entire trip — there is no call center you're handed to. Then there is a member of the logistical team who is assigned to a given trip. The two work hand-in-hand and are on call for 24 hours during the trip. They provide daily updates to the agent if there are changes in plans or plane delays, for example. The logistical person ensures that all flows well on the ground and that there is a plan B for anything unexpected."Ground Control for Major Clients"On the ground is a Blue Parallel host or hostess who we personally vetted and who has experience working with discerning travelers. These individuals hire the best local guides, scholars, chefs and drivers. It's a joint effort between the office staff and the ground team that means we are always one step ahead."Conference Call"Tell me who you are, and I'll tell you where to go. Whenever we work with agents, we have them arrange a three-way conference call with their clients and us so that we can give an ideal trip recommendation. It's in our DNA to work with clients directly, but working with an agent who knows his or her client can be an advantage."Picking Up Steam"Last year we launched our operation in Colombia because we started receiving more demand. The Coast of Uruguay is becoming a very trendy destination over the holidays. In the Med, it's all about the Adriatic Coast." Print Email

Let me explain...
* * *
Five minutes ago, my intention was to leave this posting as a short and hopefully sweet Hello Again. The photo was supposed to be simple and pleasurable evidence that, just a few days ago, I was standing right there between those lofty columns, in one of the world's great cities having my picture taken by a total stranger to whom I had entrusted my camera (and who turned out to be a Brooklyn bakery assistant called Angela).
I was about to post the blog, indulge myself with a Slow Comfortable Screw and go to bed when I looked at the photograph again. And something in it caught my eye - something I hadn't previously noticed...
Apart from the numerous pigeons on the left (and the two people indulging them with bagel crumbs), the hobo on the right and the august and sedate figure posing self-consciously between columns 2 and 3, there are the beginnings of an inscription on the building's entablature.
The particularly eagle-eyed amongst you may be able to discern the words 'NEITHER SNOW NOR RAIN...'
If you have the wayward taste in music with which I am blessed, those words may have rung bells in your memory that have remained unrung for over three decades. They form part of the lyrics of a particularly esoteric and mysteriously hypnotic song called O Superman, written and recorded by New York experimental and electronic music artist Laurie Anderson. It reached number 2 in the UK charts in 1981.
As she wrote and sang them, the words were: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. These are almost exactly the words of the inscription on the building whose frontage I am adorning.
So now we know what inspired that part of the wonderful Ms Anderson's song.
But - being a truckshunter - I couldn't just leave it at that. O no.
The building in question is the New York City headquarters of the United States Post Office on 8th Avenue and it was a member of its architectural design team who suggested the inscription. His name was William Mitchell Kendall and his taste in monumental inscriptions was impeccable. The words are a translation from the ancient Greek Histories of Herodotus and describe the faithful service of the Persian system of mounted postal messengers under Xerxes I around 2,300 years ago.
From King Xerxes I to Herodotus to the US Post Office to the British pop charts.
And there's more.
The man who carved the words onto the entablature stones was called Ira Schnapp, who went on to design the Action Comics logo and logos for DC Comics - including the Superman logo.

We may witness a rare scene in the skies fives years from now as two stars are expected to merge and lit up the skies. Astronomers have said that a phenomenon called red nova, a stellar explosion thought to be caused by the merging of two stars, will take place in 2022.
A team of astronomers led by Lawrence Molnar from Department of Physics & Astronomy, Calvin College, presented their findings of the binary star system, KIC 9832227 at the just concluded annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The researchers, who have been studying the binary star system since 2013, have claimed that the stars are getting closer over the years, giving a hint that they will merge in the next few years.
[READ: NASA's Martian explorer mission in 2022 could make human mission to Mars possible]
The prediction of the red nova is "based on the example of the precursor to the red nova V1309 Sco, which was retrospectively found to be a contact binary with an exponentially decreasing period" and "explore the use of this distinctive timing signature to identify precursors, developing the observational and analysis steps needed."
"We estimate that our Galaxy has roughly 1–10 observable precursors. Specifically, we lay out the observational case for KIC 9832227, which we identified as a tentative candidate two years ago," said the finding.
"Orbital timing over the past two years has followed the tentative exponential fit. As of late 2015, the period time derivative went beyond the range found in other systems (P <˙|1 × 10−8 |), a necessary criterion for a serious candidate. We estimate time of merger is the year 2022.2 ± 0.6," said the finding."
The stars of KIC 9832227, which already share an atmosphere, have spiralled towards one another over the years. And based upon the behaviour of V1309 Sco before red nova happened, the researchers have drawn upon the conclusion that KIC 9832227 stellar explosion might take place in 2022.
The light produced by the phenomenon is expected to be visible to the naked eyes.

"The Upper Bank or Manchester cotton factory was originally a paper mill, and built in 1766 by James Wilcox."
"In the year 1764, James Wilcox was assessed in Upper Providence township on a dwelling and fifty acres of land. This real estate was located on Ridley Creek, where are now the ruins of the Manchester Mill. In 1766, James Wilcox was assessed, in addition to the foregoing property, on a papermill." NOTE: This source lists Mark Wilcox as James' son, which is not correct. He was his brother.

Mumbai Metro
Mumbai is the real commercial hub of India aptly referred to as Gateway of India. Travelling to mumbai can be a pleasure combined with challenge to overcome the crowded metro.
Currently Mumbai metro is on the revamp mode, with lot of developments on the infrastructure front, which may take another 3 years to really bear fruit. The bride across the sea face at Bandra is being linked, Sky bus from Andheri (w) to Ghatkopar is under-construction, Bridge near Thane station is underway, further the road widening and concreting in many places across the city is being developed.
The best way tourist can overcome hurdles and travel across Mumbai quickly is to board the Metro train with a tourist pass for 5 days costing Rs 105 second class or with a smart card. Smart card is accepted in both metro as well as BEST buses. Auto travel is recommended for short distance.
Recently I had a misfortune of being fined for crossing the Bandra bridge for ticketless travel, while I was using only the over head bridge for crossover, there is no public cross over bridge at all Bandra and many of the stations. The ticket checkers conviniently fine the tourist. All tourist should be careful by obtaining the 5 day pass or one can obtain 1 day pass which is charged @ Rs 50/-
Metro travel can be challenging, It is recommended to travel between 10.30 AM to to 5.00 pm on sub urban trains. The travelling discomfort is at peak between 8 AM TO 10.30 & between 5.30 pm to 9.30 pm. One will not be able to board the train at Dadar, Bandra, Andheri, Kurla and other crowded stations. If one does manage to board the train, he does with a risk to his life and does get exposed to pickpocketing. It is better one carries a pouch hanging to neckline to protect ones mobile, money and credit cards.
Mumbai boasts of number of restaurants, pubs, bars and eating joints. Majority of the eating joints are dominated by the shetties, who own and manage them beautifully. The recomended restaurants are Mahesh in S.Mumbai, Dragon for Chinese, Sachin for Seafood ( expensive ) Modern Lunch Home Sion, Saiba @ Bandra, Harish @ Vile Parle, Gomantak for Konkan food, Daras Dhabba at Dahisar & Lambas @ Chembur.
The most popular spots in Mumbai Metro are Juhu Beach, Gateway of India, Nehru Planetarium, National Park, Elephanta Caves and ESSELWORLD. For Religious people Mahalaxmi temple, Siddivinayak temple, Bandra Church, Haji Ali Darga, etc is recommended.

Cool Cool Wooden Palace @ Thucklay, T.N
Padmanabhapuram Palace :
It is located 55 kms south of Trivandrum in kulkulam taluk, Tamil Nadu near the NH 47highway junction of Thucklay. The fort and palace is situated in an area of 186 acres. Currently the fort ramparts are surrounded by houses and commercial hub. The palace is restricted to 6.5 acres. The Padmabha Palace consists of 14 palaces of which only 3 are accessible to the public due to the fear of crumbling edifice.
The palace is said to be rebuilt in 1744 AD, wherein an old mud Kalkulam palace was demolished. Over a period of 150 years the extension of the palace took place with subsequent rulers. Marthanda Varma dedicated the Sri Padmanabha temple @ travancore in 1750 paving way for shifting the capital from Kalkulam to Trivancore.
There seems to be some sort of curse after the palace was built fully in 1839 AD the ruler died at an young age of 34, just 9 months into the reign from the palace. The palace was shut for more than 150 years only reopened in 1991 for public viewing. The Vaastu of the palace seems to be wrong, ancient Hindu architectural guidelines for prosperity.
The palace is built with wooden pillars and supports, the ancient laterite stones with bricklime mortar is used along with red inclined tiles to reduce intensity of the rainfall. The palace consists of :
1. Mint
2. Dining Hall
3. Visitors chambers
4. Scholar's Room
5. Queen's chamber
6. King's Bedroom
7. Mural Painting Room
8. Kitchen
9. Water Tank
10. Navarathri Mantapam or dancing chamber
The palace ramparts consists of a museum which is filled with artifacts, ancient coins, weapons of war, puppets, cutlery, throne, etc. This museum was finished in 1993 in line with the palace reopening.
Alas one cannot enjoy the videography, which is probhitively expensive @ Rs 1500/-. One has to be content with still photography. One should not miss this spectacular edifice on a trip to TN or Kerela. The itineary to Kerela or Kanyakumari should definitely include Padmanaba Palace.

FlightJournal.comof jet flight and enthused, "It was as if the angelswere pushing."About that time, Allied intelligence sourceslearned of the nascent Me 262 Schwalbe, prompt-ing a scramble to bridge the technology gap.
In April 1941, Maj. Gen. Henry Arnold, chief of
the Army Air Corps, had seen British tests and
returned home with Power Jets W.1 engine information, eventually leading to the General Electric J31.
Arnold always stressed Air Corps' relationship
with industry, and Larry Bell's New York firm
rolled out America's first jet aircraft 18 months
after Arnold's trip to the UK. The multitalented
Robert Stanley, who had helped design the DC- 3,
flew the XP-59A at Muroc Army Air Field in
October 1942. Only 66 of these planes were built,
but they showed the way to America's turbine-powered future.
In March 1944, a squadron of the 412th Fighter
Group began flying production P-59s at Muroc
(and later at Palmdale, California) with two more
squadrons assigned. The commanding officer
(CO) was Col. Homer A. Boushey. With an engineering degree from Stanford University, Boushey
was an early jet and rocket test pilot in 1941.
The Lockheed jet, designated P-80, was designed
around Britain's Halford H-1B engine, subsequently produced as the de Havilland Goblin.
Without having an engine on hand, Clarence
"Kelly" Johnson's design team used the H-1's
dimensions and broke with the current jet-design format by drafting the P-80 with a single
engine in the fuselage—the first jet of that configuration. As it developed, the U.S. derivative
J36 did not pan out, leading to the adaption of
the Allison J33.
In barely four and a half months, Lockheed
produced the first aircraft, with delivery to Muroc
before the end of 1943.
The Shooting Star's first flight in January 1944
was in the experienced hands of Milo Burcham,
one of the fabulous 1930s' crop of airmen who
adapted to almost any new technology. A prewar
endurance flier and aerobatic talent, Burcham
had joined Lockheed in 1941, conducting production test flights before being promoted to
lead the company's office in Britain. There, he
mainly focused on RAF Hudson bombers and
Army Air Force (AAF) P-38s before returning to
Burbank, California, and the Constellation airliner program.
Burcham, the former airshow star, put on a
dazzling demonstration for military officials at
Muroc, later producing the P-80's claim as the first
American aircraft to clock 500mph in level flight.
The Army ordered 13 preproduction YP-80s
in March 1944, a typical number for evaluation.
The Shooting Star, however, was dangerous—or,
more accurately, its engine was dangerous, leading to three serious losses. In October, Burcham
perished in a YP-80, apparently a victim of the
engine's fuel pump.
Five months later, in March 1945, legendary
test pilot Tony LeVier jumped from another YP
when a turbine blade sheared with disastrous
consequences. He fractured his spine but eventually recovered.
Then in early August, Maj. Richard Bong, P- 38
pilot and America's leading ace, sustained engine
failure after takeoff from Burbank. Still new to the
jet with about four hours in type, he neglected

O.K. I have to admit that one thing I miss about having a diaper-wearing kid around the house is the easy access to wet wipes. They're in the house, in the diaper bag and maybe even in the purse. So I bought the 99 cent package at Target and I've almost used them all this weekend.
- When did I get so darn responsible? (Remember - I'm the baby of my family and let's just say ... the word responsible & me were rarely used in the same sentence.)
- Why am I embarrassed that I have a purse that's "packing"?

"I think the key challenge for Africa to increasing agricultural productivity is funded investments in agriculture."
Monty Jones from the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) emphasizes that the kind of productivity we are talking about should embrace everything - land, water, profitability infrastructure and marketing.
To move forward, Africa must increase the productivity of its agriculture sector.
This, he argues, is not a job for 'research alone.'
Research must interact with extension, it must interact with institutional strengthening, with infrastructure, and with policies.
Today's opening session features a keynote address by Monty Jones on 'science, technology, and innovation in African agriculture.'

The evidence rating scale is a broad framework designed to show where an existing programme is succeeding and where there are opportunities to improve, or whether introducing a new programme could be of benefit.
It can be used by those who design and fund programmes and the community and voluntary organisations that deliver them. The tool will help you to:
- decide whether or not to introduce an international programme into New Zealand
- review the effectiveness of existing programmes
- upskill your organisation's ability to robustly evaluate programmes and outcomes.

I have two columns which are set up differently. But for a display purpose and different usage, they should share the same display names but not the underlying name. How may I set them up in SharPoint?
I'm in the process of migrating from a WSS 2 site to WSS 3/MOSS. On the old site I used an Infopath 2003 form for absence requests. During the migration I now use Infopath 2007. There wasn't any problem initially when the form was stored with the SharePoint form library. However, when I published the form as a content type from Infopath 2007 and then added that content type to the form library, there are two columns for each piece of data from the form. (One from the content type and one from the form list.) I relinked each old form (list content type) to the new AbsenceRequest content type and removed the original one from the list. However, the duplicate column names are still there. Since they came from the Infopath form, they are not editable or deletable from the SharePoint list management interface. The duplicate column names make it tough to build views since it isn't apparent which column to use in the form building UI. It can be determined form the overview display, but it is very cumbersome.
Does anyone know a way to get rid of the old, absolute, columns?
I have a forms library that posts the date the form was created. We would like to create a calculated column that allows us to look at these forms based on the month and year they were created. I had created
a calculated column that extracts the month and replaces the number with a text string by using an if statement; "IF(MONTH([Proposal Date])=1,"January","") It goes on to evaluate each month and replace the number with the text string. This formula worked for
quite some time, though now when I try to add any calculated columns or edit any existing calculated columns on this form library I receive the following error: Value does not fall within the expected range. Now my existing calculated columns (like the one
above) do not work and I can not create new calcualted columns. Any insight would be awesome as this has been plaguing me for a couple of months now.
{System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed. at System.Net.WebClient.UploadFile(Uri address, String method, String fileName) at System.Net.WebClient.UploadFile(Uri address, String fileName) at System.Net.WebClient.UploadFile(String address, String fileName) at Test.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite1\Test.aspx.cs:line 35}

I'm reading in one SQL table and doing a lookup against another SQL table which is an identical copy of the first table, used for temporary storage during the load event.
I want to compare each field to find if there are any changes in the temporary table. When I compare two string fields, Customer != temp_Customer I get no error message. When I compare two decimal fields, Width != temp_Width I get an error message: DT_WST
and DT_Numeric are incompatible with !=.
The two fields are BOTH declared as decimal 19,6 in their respective tables. Why can't I run this comparision???
I am trying to create a List in Sharepoint 2010 using Site Columns and Content Types. It results in creating duplicate fields in the list for the Site Columns used. Here is the details description of what I was doing.
I have created two site columns

I tried to query an excel file which contains a lot of customers' information but my problem is most of those don't have a specific column names.
E.g. it's in the following format. (Excel File)
Info1 blur blurInfo2 blur blurInfo3 blur blur
So, when I query using SqlDbDataAdapter, in my DataTable, info1 blur blur becomes column header.
E.g. it's in the following format. (DataTable)
Info1 blur blur
Info2 blur blurInfo3 blur blur
I been working on it so that it actually goes down one row and Change the column name in the DataTable into some appropiate name. Something like the following format.
Name1 Name2 Name 3
Info1 blur blurInfo2 blur blurInfo3 blur blur
Is there any way that I could work around it rather than actually going back to change the excel files ? Because I have like 1,000 excel files in that kinda format and s
var querymax = (from obj in EMAL_db.tObjects
select (int?)obj.Id).Max();
if (querymax != null)
nextObjectId = (int)querymax + 1;
newObject = new tObject();
newObject.Id = nextObjectId++;
catch (Exception ex0)
MessageBox.Show("Exception in Converter.Execute " + ex0.Message + Environment.NewLine + ex0.StackTrace);
After unsuccessful attempts to insert into the database, ID's are consumed so that next to be inserted can be i.e. 143 when ...Max() returns 119. Why is that?
i'm having trouble submitting new item to an sql server table using infopath 2007.
i'm using a main datasource which i added another table (B) that has a foreign key relationship. i also added a secondary receive datasource to auto-populate the user information on the form.
Everytime i try to add a new data to the table (B) i added, when i click submit it give me this error:
Field or group: BE_CODE
Error: Only integers allowed
Field or group: EM_CODE
Error: Only integers allowed
i created a form to test with only 1 table (B), when i click submit it add the new data fine. so i dont think that i'm inserting a wrong datatype.
does someone know what i'm doing wrong here?

This time it was even better with Grotto Pizza ordered-in for dinner, Pizza In The Hut, The Succoth Hut! Afterwards we had the Succoth Service in the hut as the evening winds blew about.... gently swaying the structure. One gust blew into the entrance and did a heave-ho, but the Succoth hut remained sound :-)
For certain prayers we needed to face East. I was in disbelief when 75% of the worshippers knew not the direction of East! As in the direction of THE OCEAN not even 2 miles away!!!! How can you live at The Beach and not know this?
Ok, we will excuse Dewey Beach members... as no one awakes to witness the ocean sunrise, maybe awake for High Noon, yes.
A lovely Oneg social followed and then on home I went to take in the Dewey Beach Music Conference. (See the preceding Blog posting).
I took notice that I was continuing the celebration of Succoth by wandering from one Musical Hut to another! No other way to describe the Dewey Beach venues other than Huts!
Beach Blessings,

Classic Menu in Ubuntu
Although I found my peace with the unity desktop, it is sometimes helpful to get a quick overview on the installed software by using the good-old-main-menu. Further, adding/removing entries to/from it would be great. In order to achieve this you can install the following two packages:
The classic menu which nicely intergrates into the top-panel (from external ppa):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diesch/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install classicmenu-indicator
It should automatically create an entry in your startup-programs, but you can also start it manually by calling
classicmenu-indicator from the commandline
The corresponding menu editor:
sudo apt-get install alacarte
Since this is my very first post in my very first blog in my very first life, I will use it as my sandbox.
And here is my first poll, which is dealing with some really philosophical question:

Quick Daily Review #88: The Invention of Lying (2009)
The Invention of Lying (2009)
This was the movie Ricky Gervais was born to make. He wrote, directed, and starred in "The Invention of Lying", a movie that hits just about every check on my personal checklist of what I look for in a movie. First there is a really interesting premise, that is actually delivered upon, a great cast including a ton of cameos, and finally it is a funny and heartwarming comedy. Now before you run for the hills, when I say funny and heartwarming, I do not mean cloying or tacky in the vein of Tyler Perry's "Madea Goes To Hogwarts" or something. The movie takes place in an alternative universe where human beings have never evolved the ability to "lie". As such, everyone is hilariously bluntly honest, like when Gervais character Mark is fired from his job and his long time secretary cordially says "I look forward to never seeing you again…" Since no one can say anything that is untrue, there is also no fiction, so all movies are historic documentaries. All of this changes one day when Mark, in a desperate moment, utters the first lie in the history of mankind. Of course this changes everything, and gives him something akin to a super power, as he can walk up to attractive women and say "The world will end unless we have sex right now…" and then panic ridden sex will surely ensue, or walk into a bank and tell them he needs a million dollars and when his balance only shows a penny, they assume it is a system error and fork over his million. What makes this movie work so well, is that Gervais doesn't just go for broke exploiting the gimmick of the premise. Gervais in this movie reminded me so much of a young Bill Murray in his mannerisms and acting, and this is a movie that I predict will become my generation's answer to the Murray classic Groundhog Day. All the other actors and actresses such as Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Rob Lowe, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, do a tremendous job balancing what is on one level ridiculous sketch comedy level set ups and genuine human emotion. There are scenes in here that made me shed actual tears, and laugh riotously. The Invention of Lying is a damned good film, and that's no lie.
