Jacob L. Dahl
Professor of Assyriology; Fellow of Wolfson
Faculty / College Address:
Oriental Institute / Wolfson College
Research Interests:
I am a specialist of the pre-Classical cultures and languages of the Near East. I have written on early Babylonian socio-economic history, early Near Eastern writing systems, and Sumerian literature. I work on the decipherment of proto-Elamite, the last undeciphered writing system from the ancient Near East with a substantial number of sources (more than 1600 tablets divided between the Louvre Museum and the National Museum of Iran). Initially inspired and influenced by archaic cuneiform from Mesopotamia, proto-Elamite was a very short-lived writing system (ca. 3100 - 2900 BC) used across much of what today constitute the Islamic Republic of Iran.
As a co-PI of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative <http://cdli.ucla.edu> I seek to document and safeguard Mesopotamia's contribution to our shared world history by making its ancient records available freely online.
Current Projects:
- late 3rd millennium BC administrative history, publication of 300 texts in Oslo
- joint publication (on-line) of ca. 300 Ur III texts in Aleppo National Museum, Syria, with Dr Bertrand Lafont (CNRS, Paris)
- joint publication (on-line) of ca. 90 Ur III texts in the Institut Chatolique de Paris, with Dr Bertrand Lafont
- publication of 122 proto-Elamite texts and fragments in the Louvre (to appear as TCL 32)
- re-edition of ca. 1000 proto-Elamite texts and fragments in the Louvre
- proto-Elamite sign-list
Courses Taught:
- History and Civilizations of the Ancient Near East
- Akkadian and Sumerian texts, all levels

Gmail gets over 1,000 new smileys
If you are among the internet users who love emoticons, you will love the latest addition in Gmail. Internet search giant Google has beefed up the number of smileys in its free email service by over a thousand emoticons.
Earlier, Gmail users could choose from an assortment of 158 emoticons, but now they have as many as 1,287 smileys at their disposal, says a report in The Next Web. The company is rolling out the new emoticons to users in a phased manner.
To access the new emoticons, a user simply needs to roll over the + icon on the bottom pane while composing a new email. This will show up options like Google Drive, calendar, emoticons etc. He or she just needs to click on the smiley face to check out the over a thousand emoticons and give expressions to their messages.
The hundreds of static as well as dynamic emoticons added range from a karaoke mic and beating heart to glittering stars and flags of various nations. So, users can now further jazz up their emails rather than going for just the traditionally available icons.

Have you ever thought what it will be if your four-footed buddy defined the rules at home – how your daily routines would go on and who would dominate over the couch. Well, we fancied it:
"Every floor covering different than a fluffy rug is strictly prohibited. Highly dangerous for the life! Seriously!"
"Carefully conform the height of the furniture to the length of my legs! Please!"
"The couch is my territory. Okay, you can use it sometimes also but it's clearly my property."
"Who is this and what does he want? Leave!"
"Cupcakes!? I want them!"
"Sometimes I get really pissed off. Couldn't it be only a dog?"
"And you need to learn tricks, too. Good boy! You win a treat (and don't forget one for me)!"
"I want my own seat on the table. I am saying ¨no more¨ to the begging and the sad puppy eyes!"
"I have my vices, too. You know what I mean…"
"Halloween costumes, Christmas dear horns, Eastern bunny ears – no, no and no again!"
"Socks – no, no and no. Unless they are for chewing…"
"When I'm not singing I love playing. I'm getting ready for X Factor, support my talents."
"Hug me regularly."
"Hate the order, are we living in a pharmacy?"
"Fitness at home – why not?!"
"Where were you? You were gone for 3 hours, 43 minutes and 20 seconds but who is counting anyway?!"
"I'll always pass before you to check if the bed is fluffy enough. After that I'm staying, I was first after all."
"A good massage is important for blood circulation and for our friendship, of course."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed and I am always here for you after a long day."
"Walk me out from 5 to 35 times a day. It's never enough!"
"Everything is better with a lot of friends!"

Facebook has accidentally shown off its new rival to self–destructive messaging app Snapchat. Called Slingshot, it made a brief appearance in Apple's App Store before being pulled.
The app is much the same as its key competitor. Users can send messages, scribble and draw over them and be sure that they'll disappear within seconds once they've been opened by the recipient.
There is one major difference, though. Those who receive a message have to reply with their own missive before they can see anything else you choose to send.
The idea is to prevent unwanted images appearing, circumventing some of Snapchat's more controversial aspects.
In a statement, Facebook said: "Earlier today, we accidentally released a version of Slingshot, a new app we're working on.
"With Slingshot, you'll be able to share everyday moments with lots of people at once. It'll be ready soon and we're excited for you to try it out."
Snapchat has faced serious challenges in 2014, after it suffered a major security breach over the Christmas period. Facebook is believed to have attempted to buy the company late last year.

Sunday Teaser #1: Savor You!
As promised on my Facebook page, here's my first teaser for the day from Savor You, the Kylie book. Stay tuned for a CONSUMED teaser sometime this evening. ;) Remember, this is an unedited novel so there may be typos and this is subject to change in the final version. Hope you enjoy!
"Don't fucking leave again," Wyatt barks, entwining his fingers through mine, yanking me back down. As I sink into the deep seat, I pull my hand from his. I'm eager to sever our touch—to get rid of the memories that being in this place has dredged up—so I race my fingers down the front of my bright red skirt. "Don't be a coward either," he adds.
My back straightens, and I lift my chin until my gaze is level with his dark blue eyes. "I haven't left you once since you showed up," I say in a hushed voice, even though we're probably the only ones in the 99 cent theater.
He turns his body completely toward mine. "What are you more pissed at, Ky? Me bringing you to this place or that you want history repeat itself? Or are you just looking for a reason to bolt again?"
"Yeah, I am pissed you wanted to come here of all the theaters in New Orleans. I'm pissed you screwed up my vacation because you're a giant baby who can't stand the thought of me," I pretend to think back, even though what he'd said last night is at the very front of my mind, "getting drunk and wrapping my legs around someone else . I'm pissed that—"
Wyatt leans so close I can smell the hotel shampoo he'd used on his short brown hair this morning. He rests his hand on my inner thigh, and I shiver as his fingers inch up my skin, one by one. "You're pissed you want history to repeat itself?"
Pursing my lips, I shake my head. "I just want to have a good time," I say. When he cocks his head to one side, I continue, "Enjoying my trip here the way I originally planned."
"So you're saying you don't want to fuck me?" His fingers stop moving at the top of my thigh, and my heart skips a beat.
Or five.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," I reply hotly.
Giving me a wicked grin, Wyatt glides one of his fingers into my panties, pushing it inside of me. My hands seem to go everywhere at once—one grips the armrest and the other grasps his strong forearm. "We're in public," I hiss when he refuses to budge.
Mostly, I'm warning myself because I don't want him to pull out. Apparently, I enjoy torturing myself.
He rolls his eyes. "Last time this place had customers was probably us nine years ago." Then, lowering his voice to a whisper, he demands one final time, "You don't want me inside of you?"
"No, I don't." But this time my tone doesn't hold a quarter of the punch it had forty-five seconds ago.
Wyatt shoves another finger deep into my center, and my knees to buckle. My grip on his arm tightens, causing a slow grin to slink across his face. "I should head-butt you in those perfect teeth," I mutter because it's the only thing I can do to push the moan of pleasure down.
My words only make his smile grow even wider. "Why? Because your body says you're a big fucking liar?"

By Camillus Eboh and Joe Brock
ABUJA (Reuters) - Rebel governors who defected from Nigeria's ruling party merged their splinter group with the main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, denting President Goodluck Jonathan's powerbase for possible re-election.
Governors are some of the most powerful figures in Africa's biggest oil exporter, some controlling budgets bigger than many African countries, and their influence carries a great deal of weight in selecting presidential candidates.
The seven governors and a former presidential candidate formed the splinter group opposed to Jonathan in August. All were present for the meeting at which the decision to merge was made, said Lai Mohammed, spokesman for the APC.
"After exhaustive deliberations, the two parties agreed to merge in order to rescue our fledgling democracy and the nation," said a joint statement, read out by Kawu Baraje, chairman of the splinter group, who is not himself a governor.
The defection of seven from his own party was seen as the most explicit internal threat to Jonathan's assumed plan to run in elections in early 2015 - although analysts questioned the influence of the governors, given some were due to leave office or represented states that Jonathan was unlikely to win anyhow.
The People's Democratic Party has been in power since shortly after the end of military rule in 1998, but it has increasingly been driven by internal squabbles.
Many northerners say Jonathan running again would violate an unwritten PDP rule that power should rotate between the largely Muslim north and mostly Christian south each two terms.
The president has also made powerful enemies elsewhere, including the governor of Rivers state Rotimi Amaechi, who is from Jonathan's own oil producing Niger Delta region but defected nonetheless.
"They have come to join the APC. The governors have all agreed. We believe they are all on board," Mohammed said.
But official sources close to one state governor said that it was not yet a done deal, which leaves open the possibility that one or two of the governors may go back to the PDP.
Amaechi told Reuters by SMS text message that the splinter group had joined the APC and Baba Dantye, a spokesman for Kano state governor Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso, also confirmed the move.
"It is a blow to the PDP in terms of prestige, but most of the departing governors were from states where the president polled badly in 2011 and would not have been expected to win," said Antony Goldman, head of Africa-focused PM Consulting.
With most of the defecting governors due to leave office in 2015 it is unclear how much they can benefit the APC, Goldman said.
The more hotly contested the race, the more likely it is to turn violent, as it has in the past, analysts say.
It is also likely to hurt state coffers, as the demands of patronage needed to fight the poll grow.

text: UK warns Saudi Arabia it may have breached international law by blocking food shipments to Yemen | 18 Dec 2017 | Saudi Arabia has "no excuses" for blocking food and fuel shipments to Yemen and could be in breach of international humanitarian law if it continues to do so, a British minister has said, in the strongest rebuke yet to a key ally. Penny Mordaunt, the secretary of state for international development, said that Saudi Arabia's relationship with the UK could be damaged if Riyadh does not act to ease restrictions she warned could push the country into the "worst famine in decades." Ms Mordaunt flew to Riyadh on Sunday to push for an end to restrictions on deliveries of food, fuel, and medical supplies to rebel-held areas of Yemen imposed by the Saudi-led coalition last month.

One year of web components
Web components are an old concept and soon a new standard for the Open Web Platform. The W3C specifications are still evolving, but there are many libraries and toolkits around, even if designing a high-quality component is still hard to achieve.
London Web Components
With a view to covering all the aspects mentioned above, at the beginning of this year James Broad and I started organising tech events about web components here in London.
You can follow our group on Twitter,
and on meetup.com if you're thinking to attend an event.
An introduction to Web Components
In January we had Soledad Penadés (Mozilla) giving an introduction to web components in the Moo.com offices. Attendees were really interested about the topic, asked lots of questions, and an open discussion took place in the Q&A session and in the pub after the talks.
Custom Elements in Context
In March Peter Gasston gave another great introduction to web components, this time focusing on custom elements. Mozilla hosted us this time in the MozSpace in Covent Garden.
A practical journey to Web Components
April was the month of showing real-world usage of web components. Andrew Betts, Alberto Elías, Kaelig, Sam Giles from FT Labs introduced Origami and how they are embracing future front-end technology. Craig McCahill showed us the code of animations components built using Polymer. The event was hosted by Telefonica Digital.
Browser Vendors & Web Components
In May we were hosted by Mozilla again and had Wilson Page (Mozilla) telling us about the state of web components, in terms of W3C standards and agreement among browser vendors. The talk popped up in a popular article in Mozilla Hacks. Special guest: Kevin Grandon, demoing a Firefox OS app using web components.
Tools, Tips & Tricks for building Componentised Web Apps
In June Mr. Phil Leggetter (Pusher) talked about Tools, Tips & Tricks for building Componentised Web Apps focusing on quality aspects in designing web components.
Web components in practice
We came back in October with Wilson Page (Mozilla), this time showing us the web components used in production in Firefox OS. In my talk "The concept of web components" I gave an overview of the contents touched in the previous events, and showed the code of an experiment I worked on. We had two lightning talks this time, by Matteo Figus about Open Components and Bram Geenen about Open Hardware. All was recorded.
An e-commerce journey to using Web Components
In November we dived into e-commerce with the Net-A-Porter.com technical team.
@mjgreen145, @arielwithlegs and @threetwotwo (Net-a-porter)
For the first time the event was streamed live on Air Mozilla, and recorded, thanks to these guys :)
@teoli2003 and @mepartoconmigo (Mozilla)
Acknowledgements and wishes for 2016
First of all we would like to thank all the folks attending our events for being so interested and active; this pushes us to go on and do our best every time.
Secondly we'd like to thank our sponsors:
- Moo.com for hosting the first event of the year
- Hired.co.uk for providing pizza and beers
- Telefonica digital for hosting the most successful event of the year, in terms of number of people
- Mozilla for hosting most the events and recording the last ones. A special thanks goes to Wilson Page: all this could not have happened without his massive support in terms of content and organisation. And a special mention to the MDN team who supported us with snacks, drinks, and recording the last events of the year.
Finally, for 2016 we wish
- that browser vendors will agree on W3C specs and deliver web components in the web platform, with no need of polyfills
- to see an authoritative marketplace with live demos for web components
- more talks about accessibility, and other quality factors
- more talks about design choices of complex web components used in production
- <add your wish here>
- <add another wish here>
- <and another>
- <and another>
- <and another>
Happy New Year all!
See you in 2016 ;)

Our chocolate making process starts with high quality cocoa beans sourced from estates, plantations, and co-ops around the world.
Raw cocoa beans are sorted by hand to remove defective and foreign debris (sticks, leaves, rocks, etc…).
Sorted beans get weighed and spread out onto trays for roasting.
Beans are roasted from 30 to 60 minutes at temperatures from 230F to 300F to further develop chocolate flavor.
Cooled beans are then coarsely crushed to loosen the shell from the nib.
The mixture of crushed nib and shell is then sorted by size.
The sorted nib and shell mixture gets poured into the winnower for separation.
Nib and shell are fed into an air current. The lighter shell is carried away, allowing the cleaned nib to be collected.
Nibs and sugar are refined (and concurrently conched) until the texture is smooth and the flavor has developed fully.
Finished chocolate is poured into 20–40-lb blocks and left to age for 2—8 weeks to allow the flavors to settle.
Chocolate is then tempered and dispensed into molds.
Dispensed chocolate is distributed evenly in the molds with a vibrating table.
Air bubbles are also removed on the vibrating table, while also leveling the chocolate in the mold.
Tempered and cooled bars are de-molded, checked for aesthetic defects and weighed.
Bars are hand-wrapped in parchment, then wrapped in our labels, which are designed and printed in-house.
The finished bars are ready to send out for all to enjoy.

My Thoughts on Cycling Safely in London
Many people come to the shop looking to buy a bike to cycle in London for the first time. Often they are apprehensive about cycling in London and with all the accidents that happen each year it is understandable to feel this way.
I urge all new cyclists to take advantage of the free Cycle Training offered by Transport for London in order to learn the basic rules of the road, hand signals, and legal responsibilities of cyclists. Before you go out on London's roads, please be sure to know these basic rules and even try to cycle with a friend who is a seasoned city cyclist to learn from them. Confidence on the road is key and as long as you know what your rights and responsibilities are, this confidence will come naturally.
As a rule of thumb, cycle as if you are a motorist. Do not skip red lights, do not wiggle between cars, do not try to squeeze in between HGVs or buses. This sounds like common sense but you may be surprised to know how many cyclists are making these mistakes on a daily basis.
7 Things I've learned from cycling around London:
1. Avoid road rage and be respectful to others
Too often, I've encountered aggressive cyclists yelling and gesturing at motorists for doing something wrong. I understand the frustration and fear of a close call, but getting angry on the road can be dangerous for everyone involved. In those situations, it's more effective to keep calm. If possible, have a quick word with the driver to let them know how their behaviour put you in danger.
2. Be smart: no jumping red lights
I know how annoying it is waiting to the light to turn green - but it's worth remembering that if you decide to jump a red light during a pedestrian green light, pedestrians have the right of way! It's dangerous for a cyclist to charge straight past a red light and scare off pedestrians crossing the road on their green light. If we want pedestrians and motorists to respect cyclists then we must maintain the rules of the road too.
3. Cyclists take unnecessary risks (although this is getting better)
It's fair to say that a number of cyclists are adept at putting themselves in danger. I recently saw a cyclist squeeze between two tightly parked vehicles on a red light. The cyclist had no idea when the red light would turn green and if the cars had accelerated suddenly they'd have been in trouble. In London cars drive closely together (especially on smaller roads) so we need to give them some space and the opportunity to spot us in their mirrors.
I also see cyclists zigzagging between cars to escape traffic jams. The great advantage on being on two wheels is you can bypass stationary traffic, but only if it's safe! Always check behind you and watch out for any sudden movements from cars or motorcycles. I find its safest to stick to the left of the road and only move to the next lane as a last resort.
Overall - although I've witnessed my fair share of cyclist scares, I've definitely noticed more cyclists following the rules of the road in recent years. :)
4. There are more of us on the roads
The efforts to make London a cycle-friendly City are clearly working, as increasing numbers of commuters are choosing their bikes over driving or public transport. And who can blame them - it's often quicker, cheaper, healthier and better for the environment, a win-win situation for cyclists and communities! As more people choose to ride, I hope this encourages local councils to invest more money in cycling infrastructure and to pass legislation that protects the safety of cyclists.
5. An increasing number of cyclists are female
Happily - there are now more women cycling in London then there were when I first began commuting in this city 5 years ago. Back then, it was rare to see another female on the saddle but now it's commonplace. This is great news! The more women the better, especially since there's a link between the number of women cycling and how safe it is to ride in a city:
Gil Penalosa, who runs Toronto-based consultancy 8-80 Cities, describes women cyclists as the "indicator species" for how bike-friendly a city is. "If there aren't at least as many women as men, then usually it's because cycling is not safe enough. It's an indicator that you do not have good enough cycling infrastructure." - The Guardian
6. Many cyclists lack road presence
Sometimes I see cyclists who are visually overwhelmed and nervous on the road. They suffer from a lack of confidence on the road and if I can detect it then surely drivers can too. In a fast-paced environment like Central London you need to make decisions quickly - indecisiveness is dangerous. To combat this, let other motorists know your intensions well in advance! If you're unsure where you're going, signal and pull over to check your route.
To build-up confidence, ask a seasoned cyclist friend to lead you on a few rides or join a cycle training class. Notice their manners, how and when they signal, and where they ride on the road. Once confident in your decisions, drivers will respect you and give you your space!
7. Infrastructure is improving, but the government needs to pick up the pace
Thankfully, London has seen a big rise in cycle superhighways and safe paths for cyclists, and as a result more people are joining the cycling revolution. However, I'm concerned about existing infrastructure not keeping up with the rising number of cyclists. Sadly, too many cyclists die on our roads every year, especially at intersections and junctions that are known by councils to be high risk. We need to ensure that the trend towards safer cycling continues and expands, by making our voices heard!

Running your own business can be isolating, particularly if you don't have a team around you. That's why our local groups regularly get together on a social basis for a drink and a chat.
Like our business events, our social happenings are warm and friendly. We're pretty relaxed about topics of conversation and business talk isn't banned, but we do encourage our members to get to know one another on a personal basis.
Of course, business is built on relationships, so it's always worth bringing a few business cards along with you.
"As a small business owner, working alone can be very isolating and leave you wanting human contact. SUBS gave me a great way to meet new people, make friends and secure business." Emma

"Well, look who it is!"
Some new faces have just shown up at the inn! Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft is happy to welcome new Heroes as they pull up a chair at the game table!
These new Heroes put a fresh face on the classes you know and love, and bring along some unique surprises of their own.
Picture Perfect
These new Hearthstone Heroes will feature beautifully detailed animated Hero portraits, including all-new art never before seen in the Blizzard universe. The first new Hero we're introducing is a famed Warrior—the mighty King of Ironforge himself, Magni Bronzebeard!
Aside from the vibrant new Hero portrait artwork, these new Heroes also come with unique Hero power animations. Magni's version of the Warrior's "Armor Up!" Hero Power is sure to reinforce the fact that his majesty is not to be trifled with!
New Heroes also come with unique emotes and voices that convey their individual personalities, a play area featuring a custom visual theme, and nifty "entering the game" animations so you can greet (or intimidate) your next opponent in style.
If that wasn't enough, new Heroes also come with a unique card back that will impress even the mightiest of dwarven kings! The steadfast "Magni" card back is added to your collection immediately after purchasing the Magni Bronzebeard Hero, and can be used with any deck of your choice.
New Heroes will be available for purchase from the in-game Shop for $9.99 USD! Usurp the traitorous Garrosh Hellscream and bring down the hammers of dwarven justice with Magni Bronzebeard; the first new Warrior Hero for Hearthstone—coming soon!
New Heroes do not add new cards to your collection or change the classes' activated Hero Power and are not considered new classes.
Back to TopBlue TweetsCommunity Manager Zeriyah has been answering many questions about the hero reveal earlier today. You can check out more tweets by Blizzard Employees on our Blue Tweet Tracker.
New Heroes will come animated by default but will not have the golden border until 500 wins with that class have been reached.
There are no plans to add special interactions to the new heroes, such as the interation between Illidan and Malfurion.
You can use New Heroes in Arena and when creating deck a new deck.

The people of Enerhen community in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State yesterday took to the streets to protest alleged victimisation by military men.
They lamented an attempt on the life of the chairman of their community, Comrade Lucky Emuakpor-Izeku, who they said, narrowly escaped death after an unprovoked encounter with a Navy personnel and some soldiers.
Speaking during a peaceful protest to the office of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Warri Correspondents' Chapel's, yesterday, the protesters, consisting of women, youths and leaders of the community, narrated how the security personnel attempted to kill Emuakpor-Izeku.
One of the protesters, Mrs. Mary Owolo, who spoke on behalf of the women, claimed that Naval and Army personnel on guard duty at Arco-Marine Limited and Python Engineering and Construction Company allegedly shot at the chairman of the community for daring to challenge the company.
She called on the state government to investigate the matter, stressing that the people of the community are peaceful and law-abiding.
Narrating his experience, Emuakpor-Izeku accused the military personnel of harassment and intimidation, adding that he was attacked when he approached the management of Arco-Marine Limited for the benefit of the indigenes working in the company.
Reacting to the allegation, the Commander, Nigerian Army 3 Battalion Effurun,
Major Azaku, in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, absolved the Nigerian Army of any involvement in the alleged invasion of the community.
"No Army Officer was on guard duty at Ako-Marine Limited. I can go to any length to fish out those who are involved in the act if they can point the soldiers to me."

Famous Jewelry Pieces
How do you keep your jewelry pieces intact when you don't bother to place them into a jewelry holder stand or some kind of jewelry organizer that's safe? Here's an easy solution – the current selections in jewelry storage solutions are now available. You probably have been online surfing to find out ways to organize your growing collection of jewelry. You likely discovered there are simply too many choices to settle on which left you bewildered and confused where you felt like giving up.
Similar questions like these may have crossed your mind when you shopped around online for jewelry organization ideas. What type of jewelry armoire will satisfy my jewelry storage needs? How do I choose from such a broad variety of jewelry organizers? Lastly, why should I worry about getting a jewelry armoire since nothing has happened to my jewelry pieces so far?
What famous jewelry collections are valued the most?
When broadly speaking as to which kinds of classic jewelry pieces are famous as oppose to common types can depend on how you value them. You can measure jewelry purely by its brand name that equates to monetary value. Other jewelry can be associated with its emotional meaning that has a priceless value written all over it. You need to weigh in whether it's one of these values, a combination of both or something else completely unrelated.
What is your immediate reaction when you hear well-known brand names like Cartier diamond earrings or Harry Winston diamond rings? You may have instantly responded with very beautiful and very expensive and would love to own them. What is your reaction to affordable fashion jewelry like these vintage costume jewelry that's seen below? Your response may not be of emotional ecstasy, but you may enjoy them as inexpensive fashionable additions to your wardrobe.
How would respond if you inherited your Grandmother's favorite pearl necklace or antique wedding ring that has been handed down to you from several generations? The special meanings they hold will likely have more personal value to you above anything else. Especially, when you look back to the fond moments shared with your Grandmother while growing up. You will want to closely guard not only the pearl necklace or antique ring but most importantly the unique, meaningful past they possess.
What sort of ideas for jewelry storage is available to you?
At this point, you should have some direction as to what meaning your jewelry has to you. This leads to the question of which type of jewelry armoire will suit your specific needs. This will really depend on the size and importance of your jewelry collection. It will also rely on the future growth of your jewelry collection as well.
I highly recommend a standing jewelry armoire which is very popular among avid jewelry collectors. The sheer size alone in this large jewelry armoire will allow for ample room to store lots and lots of jewelry. The height of the tall jewelry armoire will typically average around three feet in stature but won't occupy too much floor space.
This unique jewelry armoire is often labeled or categorized as a home furnishing. It will beautifully complement other kinds of fine home furnishings in the room. You can even place decorative items like a table lamp or a flower vase on top of it to accentuate or enhance the entire living space.
How jewelry storage furniture will make your life better
Leaving your jewelry throughout different places in the home will lead to several issues. Lost or misplaced jewelry in the home is the biggest complaint I hear most from jewelry collectors. Damaged jewelry pieces due to neglect from being carelessly left around in the home are the next complaint I often hear. Finally, those special memories found in the jewelry pieces which are forever gone based on the first two issues is the third contentious issue I hear over and over.
Don't allow these situations happen to you before it's too late. You can always replace jewelry pieces. However, those particular moments they hold are irreplaceable. Take the next step to protect their sentimental values with this stand up jewelry armoire to preserve them for a lifetime today!

Driving The New Corvette
Link - In the early 1990s, the car had what Corvette Chief Engineer Dave Hill calls "a near-death experience." Sales declined. The Corvette averages around 30,000 U.S. sales per year, but that number was down to the low 20,000s in the first half of the last decade.

Al Ifaadaat Al Ihsaaniyyah
Hadrat Maulānā Muhammad Qamar az-Zamān Sāhib Allāhābādī
الحمد لله الأكرم، الذي خلق الإنسان وكرّم، وعلّمه من البيان ما لم يعلم، فسبحان
الذي لا يحصى امتنانه باللسان ولا بالقلم، والصلوة والسلام على نبيه الأكرم الذي
أوتي جوامع الكلم وكرائم الحِكم ومكارم الشيم، وعلى آله وأصحابه نجوم الطريق
الأمم. أما بعد!
By the grace and kindness of Allāh ta'ālā, the programme of religious talks and lectures is continuing from the very life of Muslihul Ummat Hadrat Maulānā Shāh Wasīyyullāh Sāhib rahimahullāh. Acting under his instruction, I have the honour of conducting assemblies in his absence. This programme increased after his demise. Apart from the daily assemblies in Allāhābād, people from Mahīwā and other areas periodically invite me to deliver lectures there. Hakīmul Ummat Hadrat Maulānā Ashraf 'Alī Thānwī rahimahullāh also used to go to Mahīwā to deliver talks and lectures. When I go to my village, Kārīsāth, district Mau, the programme of delivering lectures there and other local areas continues. In this way, the programme of lectures and words of advice has been continuing in both Allāhābād and in my village. However, after the demise of my mentor, Hadrat Maulānā Muhammad Ahmad Sāhib Partābgarhī rahimahullāh, the people of Gujarat invited me to a graduation jalsah at Dār al-'Ulūm Falāh Dārayn, Tadkeshwar, district Surat. I visited several other madāris during that trip.
The administrators of Dār al-'Ulūm 'Arabīyyah Islāmīyyah, Kantāriyah, Barūch requested me to start a Khānqāh programme in Madrasah Jāmi'ah Qāsimīyyah, Kharod. I was hesitant at first, but
accepted after thinking and pondering over the issue. Subsequently, the first programme started in 1412 A.H./1992. All praise is due to Allāh ta'ālā, this programme continues to this day – 1426 A.H. Many talks and lectures are delivered. The series of talks continue for several weeks after 'īd as well. Sincere seekers have been recording these talks via tape recorders. There is a large number of these tape recordings. All praise and thanks are due to Allāh ta'ālā alone.
On seeing the benefit of these talks, many sincere associates insisted that they be written down. Consequently, Maulānā Muhammad Iqbāl Sāhib (presently residing in Zambia) initiated this work. Maulānā Idrīs Sāhib Jītālī (presently residing in Ankleshwar), brother Shāhid Motala, and through the counsel of Maulānā 'Abdullāh Sāhib Pārkīthī, Maulānā Ismā'īl Bhūtā Sāhib, the "Idārah Faydān Ma'rifat", Balsār came into existence for the collation of my lectures and other writings. The responsibility of arranging the topic, specifying the headings, and translating the Qur'ānic verses and Ahādīth was given to Maulānā Fadl Mahmūd Falāhī (presently residing in Balsār, Gujarat). My son, Maulānā 'Abdullāh Qāsmī was appointed to oversee all matters. He was also given the responsibility of seeing the work through the process of publication and printing. All praise is due to Allāh ta'ālā, each person is carrying out his responsibilities. May Allāh ta'ālā reward them all with the best of rewards.
This is the first volume of the Mawā'iz which was prepared after a lot of hard work and effort. Maulānā Fadl Mahmūd Sāhib really deserves to be congratulated for displaying so much of enthusiasm in arranging these lectures and making them worthy of publication after a lot of toiling and hard work. Furthermore,
Maulānā Maqsūd Ahmad Sāhib Qāsmī (a teacher at Madrasah 'Arabīyyah Bayt al-Ma'ārif, Allāhābād) and Maulānā Mujīb al-Ghaffār Sāhib (Shaykh al-Hadīth Madrasah Mazhar al-'Ulūm, Benares, U.P.) put in a lot of work in referencing the Ahādīth and putting the words in line with the Ahādīth.
I never imagined my lectures would be recorded, penned and published. However, sincere people like Maulānā Idrīs Sāhib had been constantly speaking about the benefit of doing this, so Allāh ta'ālā provided the means for the initiation of this work. May He allow it to continue, benefit His creation, and make it a continuous charity for myself and all those who assisted. Āmīn.
I must point out that my lectures are actually simplified versions and expressions of the lectures of my mentor, Muslihul Ummat Hadrat Maulānā Shāh Wasīyyullāh Sāhib rahimahullāh. I therefore considered it an honour for me to establish a separate institute for the publication of his lectures, assemblies and statements. It is called Idārah Ma'ārif Muslihul Ummat. My two sons, Maulānā Mahbūb Ahmad Nadwī and Maulānā Maqsūd Ahmad Qāsmī, are in-charge of it. All praise is due to Allāh ta'ālā, its first volume is presently being collated and systematized. I request the reader to pray that Hadrat's knowledge and sciences come into the public arena and are of benefit to all.
Finally, I express my deep gratitude to all who assisted in this work. Special thanks go to respected Shabbīr Bhāi (of Zambia) for his help in printing this first volume. May Allāh ta'ālā reward him and all other well-wishers, especially Maulānā Idrīs Jītālī and Hājī Shāhid Motala Sāhib.
آمين، بحرمة النبي الأمي الكريم صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. برحمتك يا
أرحم الراحمين.

If you've been to your local Brookshire's lately, you've probably seen and smelled something amazing, especially if you've wandered in through the entrance closest to the produce department.
Have you noticed the big, black-iron barrel, turning, spitting and sending forth fragrant aromas of a roasted vegetable?
If so, you've noticed our stores roasting Hatch green chiles.
Hatch green chile season runs through the end of the month, and we've taken advantage of these fiery hot peppers from New Mexico in all kinds of ways in our store.
From freshly roasting them for our customers right in the store to selling them fresh from the vine, this spicy product of the Hatch Valley is known for its heat but also its subtly sweet, smoky, crisp flavor.
Hatch chiles are most commonly roasted, either in a cylindrical barrel or over an open flame. Their skin blisters, making them easier to peel. Then, you're left with a smoky, flavorful, hot pepper to use in a variety of ways.
I love using them for a fresh, bright, spicy salsa. Use this salsa as a dip for chips, as a topping for enchiladas, as a taco sauce, or in a soup or stew. You can even mix it in with queso or sour cream for another kind of chip dip.
Hatch Green Chile Salsa
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro
1 jalapeño
4 to 5 tomatillos, peeled
juice of 1 lime
3 fresh Hatch chiles
1 Tbs cumin
2 Tbs white vinegar
pinch of salt
ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 450° F. Spread jalapeño, tomatillos and Hatch chiles on a baking sheet. Roast, turning a time or two, until skins blister and char. Remove from oven. Place in a brown paper bag; seal and let cool.
Remove seeds from all peppers. Roughly chop onions, pepper and tomatillos. Add all ingredients to a food processor; pulse until a salsa consistency. Refrigerate to let flavors blend.

Chef Tip:
You can always buy your Hatch chiles pre-roasted fresh from our store. If you don't want to roast them in the oven, you can roast them over a gas flame on your stovetop or grill as well. Simply set the flame to high, hold your chile in a set of long grilling tongs, and rotate over the flame until your pepper achieves desired char. When the skin bubbles, place in a brown paper bag. Let cool, and then peel. You might want to consider wear food-handling gloves to peel and seed your peppers; they're pretty hot!

New Orleans, La. - When researchers from Tulane and the University of Louisiana-Lafayette began a study of blue crabs in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, they expected a big kill-off. However, their investigations have not indicated any obvious or dramatic mortality rates. The ongoing study is funded by the BP/Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative.
Six months before the spill, Caz Taylor, assistant professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and co-principal investigator of the study, was already researching crab movements along the coast.
For months her team collected samples of megalopae, the secondary stage in a crab's development from larvae to adult. Blue crabs live near the shore for most of their lives, but at spawning time, the females swim out into the Gulf. Their eggs hatch into tiny larvae that drift with the currents. Some reach shore and develop into adult crabs.
"The spill began at the peak of the spawning season, and the Deepwater Horizon rig was smack in the middle of my study area," says Taylor. "My first thought was that everything would die, but as far as we can tell, that didn't happen."
With the spill, her investigation shifted focus and expanded to seven sites from Galveston to Appalachicola from mid-May to the end of October, 2010.
"We certainly didn't get zero crabs in any places, and in some places we collected tens of thousands of megalopae," Taylor says.
Taylor and her colleagues are trying to determine why the crab population seems unaffected by the spill. Among the causes they are considering is that the closure of some fishing areas for several months gave crab numbers an opportunity to increase, and another is that larvae at the spill site may have been killed but were replaced by larvae drifting from other areas of the Gulf.

"I just don't remember feeling this tired with Small Shaw," I've lamented to my husband in recent weeks.
I've also complained to him that, "I just don't remember the Braxton Hicks being so painful last time around."
That's because I wasn't.
And they weren't.
Let me explain…
"Extremely" Iron Deficient
My iron counts got scary low over the last couple of weeks. Low enough that when Iwent into the hospital this week to do my registration paperwork (I don't know how it is in the U.S., but in Germany, you register in advance at your hospital for you child's birth so that they have your information on file in advance), they really scared me.
I met first with a midwife, and then with a doctor. Both commented on my low blood iron (hemoglobin) counts, and the doctor did so more than once.
She said she wanted to be sure they already had bags of blood set aside with my name on them — blood that had been "pre-tested" in case I needed a transfusion during or after delivery. They took a blood sample to test against, did an ultrasound (baby and fluid levels both look good!) and sent me on my way.
Medicine and hospitals and…blood transfusions? Those are just not my things. Give me fresh air and exercise and healthy foods, and I can keep my body high functioning, right? Apparently not, because after months of fighting my iron levels, they were at an all-time low at 37 weeks, and now the hospital was planning for the worst.
Between my 37 week checkup, though, and the hospital registration my doctor had put me on a different iron supplement. I was taking it diligently (with vitamin C, and not with dairy, antacids, caffeine, or any number of other foods that can prevent absorption), and I guess it worked. My blood iron counts, as of the end of the day Wednesday, had improved from "extremely anemic" to "pregnancy anemic". I never thought I'd be so excited to just be "normal" anaemic.
The extremely low iron counts have really affected my energy levels and workouts. Right now, I'm mostly unable to exercise. Even carrying a small load of laundry upstairs from our basement to our living room leaves me out of breath with my legs as heavy as lead. I'm also very, very tired. I wake up tired, and I'm tired all day. Granted, that's probably normal for the 38th week, but still, it's so unlike me!
From here on out, I guess it's just nutrition, iron supplementation, and whatever daily activity, breathing exercises, and stretching I can work into my day each day. I've been trying to squeeze a lot in (work things, personal things, things related to work and to our upcoming move to the United States) over the last few weeks, and I think it's time I put it in low gear until the baby arrives. To put it simply, I'm pooped, and I need to conserve energy for labor and delivery.
Prodromal Labor
"I just don't remember the Braxton Hicks being so painful last time around."
-Me. Every day lately.
As we wandered through the Altstadt (old city) of Regensburg, Germany on Saturday with friends from out of town, I started to get painful contractions. They were much stronger and longer than I remembered my Braxton Hicks contractions feeling, and they didn't stop in my belly (in my past experience, Braxton Hicks were usually only present in my abdomen). These contractions were causing pelvic floor pressure, and I was feeling pain in my back, hips, and legs.
When I went into labor with Small Shaw, I knew, without any question, that I was in labor. I labored passively for 12 hours before going to the hospital, but from those very first contractions at 2:30 or so in the morning, I knew instinctually that this was "it." The contractions that started this weekend felt a whole lot like real contractions, but even when I was in the most pain from them, I knew that they weren't real labor.
Two nights ago, I sat in our family room floor, my body draped over an inflatable exercise ball, crying. The contractions were so painful, and they'd been happening for hours.
"I don't understand," I whimpered to Nick, tears streaming down my cheeks. "These don't feel like Braxton Hicks, but I know I'm not in real labor, either. What are these?"
After another hour or so, the contractions stopped and I was able to sleep. The next morning I went to my Facebook Fit Pregnancy group to ask if any other women had experienced anything similar. One of the moms came back pretty quickly with, "sounds like prodromal labor."
According to TrimesterTalk.com, prodromal labor (also called false labor) is different from Braxton Hicks in several ways:
- Braxton hicks rarely last for more than an hour or two. Prodromal labor can last all day and into the night before stopping for a few hours.
- Braxton hicks are most often painless or at the worst, uncomfortable. Prodromal labor can be as painful as uncomfortable as 'real' labor.
- Braxton hicks will go away with rest, hydration and change of activity in most cases. Prodromal labor usually won't.
- Braxton hicks usually don't dilate the cervix. Prodromal labor sometimes softens the cervix and dilates it at least a few cm.
I found a really helpful blog post on Wellness Mama about prodromal labor. In it, she says:
"After having experienced prodromal labor myself over the last month of pregnancy, I can now vouch for the fact that the contractions are very much real and feel like "real" labor. Each woman will experience prodromal labor differently, but most of the time, I'd compare the contractions to those I felt in early labor in previous pregnancies (4-5 cm range)."

Videos to Help with Pain Management & Delivery
Yoga to Help with Contractions
As my pregnancy winds down and my contractions ramp up, my workouts have taken a backseat to nutrition, rest, and trying to finish my long list of to-dos leading up to our little boy's birth and our move back to the United States from Germany (which will begin just a few weeks after our son's birth).
I'm praying for a safe and healthy delivery and birth, and that our daughter, Small Shaw, adjust well to being a big sister. I'm thankful beyond words for the friends and neighbors here in Germany who've offered to help us with Small Shaw, our dogs, and anything else we might need support around as our due date draws nearer. And I'm also thankful for the partnership I've had the chance to form in 2015 and 2016 with the British maternity activewear company FittaMamma.
FittaMamma — A Healthy Pregnancy Partnership
When I approached FittaMamma, I was a few weeks pregnant with Bavarian Baby Boy, and I was really hoping to find a company that supported not just pregnancy fitness, but all-around pregnancy health and wellness. I specifically wanted to find a partner who believed in active moms, both before and after birth. When FittaMamma showed interested in becoming my active pregnancy partner on MilliGFunk.com, I was elated!
I wanted to share my experiences with exercise, nutrition, and an overall active pregnancy here on the blog because during my first pregnancy, it seemed like information (especially firsthand accounts) about active pregnancies were limited. My biggest hope was that my posts would help other active, pregnant moms feel like they had a friend who was staying active in pregnancy, too.
Over the last 38 weeks, FittaMamma's apparel has been part of countless yoga classes, long walks, at-home HIIT workouts, and days at the gym. Their recipes have inspired me to try things I'd never cooked at home before, and they've given me a way to help share healthy, nutritious foods with other pregnant mommas.
FittaMamma also has exercise tips and fitness videos on their website that I've used for everything from reminding myself (in the beginning) which activities are safe (and not) during pregnancy to researching alternative poses for late-pregnancy yoga (I took regular, non-maternity power yoga classes until about 35 weeks).
All-around, FittaMamma has been fantastic. Alexandra, the company's owner, has been supportive and personable in all of our email exchanges, and she's made sure I was well-clothed for this active pregnancy! If you're on the market for pregnancy fitness clothes, or for free pregnancy recipes and pregnancy wellness tips, I'd highly recommend you visit FittaMamma.com.
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by FittaMamma, who has graciously outfitted me with maternity activewear for my active pregnancy. FittaMamma supports active mammas by offering exercise tips, recipes, and maternity activewear that holds and supports your baby bump!

Villa de la Paz means "Peaceful Village" in Spanish. This tranquil little haven tucked into the southwest side of Santa Fe certainly lives up to its name.
Development began in 1999 – 2000, for this well-established condominium subdivision, which was designed to provide the local community with affordable, quality, urban village housing.
The development contains 89 plotted lots on nearly 10 acres. 76 lots have already been built. There are eight different floor plans to choose from, three single story and five two story, and all are two or three bedroom units. The units start at 1,000 square feet and go up to approximately 1,800 square feet. The housing is FHA approved, which gives buyers the opportunity to purchase these units with a low downpayment.
Villa de la Paz contains a beautifully landscaped park that is approximately 1 acre in size with a gazebo and benches, perfect for walking, contemplating nature or visiting with neighbors.
Peaceful walking trails weave through the subdivision, which also has two landscaped park-like retention ponds. The outdoor areas were planted with a beautiful selection of botanical plants that are drought resistiant and low maintenance.
The existing units in the subdivision are designed for maximum light and privacy with vaulted ceilings in the single story units and decks with mountain views in the two story units. Quality construction details include radiant heating, Pella Windows, tile floors, Kohler plumbing fixtures, and solid wood interior doors. Protective covenants were created to ensure that residents enjoy uniformity and consistency of style and design in their surrounding environment.
The subdivision is self contained, with one entrance and one exit and contains ample public parking. Most units have garages. Villa de la Paz has convenient shopping and enjoys many city services such as water, sewer, electricity and trash pickup.

I went through a time around the birth of my second baby, and for a while after, where my life was completely off balance. I shared the story in more detail in my post Just When I Was About to Break, but the short version is that I was putting way to much on my plate and way to much pressure on myself. The good news: I learned a lot about how to find balance as a working mom.
When Healthy Eating Becomes Unhealthy
I generally try to be a healthy eater, but being pregnant always seems to motivate me to be better about healthy eating habits. And recently, I joined this Facebook group that was focused on healthy eating. I was drawn to this group in particular because the focus was on having a healthy relationship with food, rather than advocating for any single diet or lifestyle.
At first, it was awesome. The group had something like 10,000 members, yet somehow it seemed to be pretty drama-free (amazing for a group of 100 people, let alone 10,000!). The admins were super supportive and full of encouragement and great advice.
2016 Word of the Year: Intention
A year ago, I decided to try out a "Word of the Year" for the first time. And I have to say, I feel like it was quite successful. I've never really been one to truly keep hard-set resolutions. Having a Word of the Year, though, helped me to create some good habits and kick some bad ones and overall improve myself and my life.
If you've never tried it, I highly recommend thinking of a word or a short phrase to keep as your theme throughout the year. It doesn't have to be anything profound or abstract. It could simply be a word like Read or Rest that encourages you to do more of something in the coming year. The whole idea is that this word or mantra is threaded throughout your daily life. It helps you make decisions and acts as a reminder of what you want to do, be, and accomplish. Don't worry about how others are doing it – just make it work for you.
Reflections on My Year of Focusing on Contentment
I was looking back through my 2015 planner yesterday, remembering all the things I learned, accomplished, and experienced over the past year. That's one of the things I love about a paper planner – it is sort of like a planner and a journal all wrapped in one. About a year ago, I narrowed down my Word of the Year for 2015 to Contentment. And looking back through my planner, I realized just how far I've come. Lots of lessons in contentment were learned this year, and I actually, genuinely feel more at peace. More content.
3 Hobbies that Soothe the Soul
I went years without really having any hobbies at all. I dreaded the question, "So, what are your hobbies?", because I felt like I was somehow violating a code of society to admit that I didn't have any. Maybe this is part of my INTJ-ness, but I always sort of viewed hobbies as being a waste of time. But since really working on cultivating contentment over this past year, I've learned that hobbies are actually a very important part of overall happiness.

I2C problem with remote Raspberry pi
I am running WingIDE6.0 remotely connected to a Raspberry Pi. I can run a normal program no problem so I know it works.
I have a program that imports smbus for I2C access. The program runs fine from the RPi console but,when I run it using Wing IDE I get an error which is: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied.
Now, I can see that is it a permissions issue - but why? I have added the user to the i2c group but that didn't change things.
The Wing IDE connection is SSH with keys (is no password) and it is the same user as the RPi login so there should not be a problem with permissions.
The actual instruction that fails is: self._bus = smbus.SMBus(twi)
If this is a restriction for some reason then I'm stuck as I do a lot of native I/O on the RPi.
3 Answers
Ok, now were are sorted! And permissions is the problem.
A quick fix is to change the permissions of /dev/i2c-1 or /dev/i2c-0 (depends on rpi model) with the command:
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/i2c-*
This is temporary and is lost at next boot so, to fix it permanently you need to do the following:
- Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-com.rules
- If this line exists: SUBSYSTEM=="ic2-dev", GROUP="i2c", MODE="0660" then change the MODE to "0666".
- If it does not exist then add it with the MODE="0666" and also note the "==".
- Reboot.
NOTE: My system is RPi3. For other variants the file in /etc/udev/rules.d may have a different name so check them all to find the one with the entry you need to change. Also, the entry may say KERNEL instead of SUBSYSTEM depending on you Debian version. The important thing to find is the line with "i2c-dev" in it.
After making the above changes you can use WingIDE on RPi with i2c devices actually working natively. For debugging it's worth every penny.
Following on from my experiences with i2c, the situation is much the same for GPIO, and the fix much the same.
The "quick fix" is: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/gpiomem
For the permanent fix the entry will be something like SUBSYSTEM=="bcm2835-gpiomem", GROUP="gpio", MODE="0660". As before change the MODE to "0666".
That's it, i2c and GPIO working with WingIDE.
If you happen to need the spi bus then, assuming you have enabled it using sudo raspi-config, you will need to make the same changes to the entry with "spidev" in it.
Thanks for posting this! You may want to select this answer as the accepted answer for this question.
My guess is when you're logged into the Raspberry Pi you are running the code with sudo and this is not being done by Wing's remote agent. Probably the solution is setting access permissions so the user can access it without sudo. The selected answer for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34533913/python-rasberry-pi-piano-hat-permission-denied and the document it links to may be what you need.
Actually I'm not running as sudo. Earlier i2c implementations did require sudo or equivalent but I'm just running the program using: python test-prog.py as per normal.
It's 3am in the UK so I'm off top bed now but, when I return to the problem later today I will just check the permissions.
The article you referenced is dated 12/2015 and that referred to a 2012 article so it is probably before the later smbus implementation but I will check and report back.
Thanks for a speedy reply BTW.

A Policeman's Lot
March 21, 2016
A policeman's lot is not a happy one, Gilbert and Sullivan wrote more than a century ago.
Judging from the PBA's recent survey of 6,000 NYPD cops, who expressed mostly grievance and discontent, little appears to have changed since that that iconic line was uttered on the stage of New York City's Fifth Avenue Theater on Dec. 31, 1879.
Here are some of the survey's nuggets:
95 per cent say the city is "heading down the wrong track."
87 per cent say New York City has become "less safe" under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
96 per cent say the relationship between the NYPD and the public has worsened.
97 per cent say the mayor has "created an environment … where criminals feel emboldened to carry guns and use them against civilians and the police."
97 per cent say cops "are reluctant to take action for fear of lawsuits or complaints by the public."
81 per cent say that "new procedures related to the use of stop, question and frisk limit cops from safely and effectively mak[ing] stops, when necessary."
Even when a lone bright spot appeared, the survey's authors — John McLaughlin and Associates — put a damper on it. Although Police Commissioner Bill Bratton received a 66 per cent approval rating, McLaughin and Associates wrote: "Commissioner Bratton receives relatively high ratings, but his favorables lack intensity."
A union spokesman said the survey's purpose was in part to counter claims by Bratton and de Blasio that police morale was high. "You don't like people telling you how you feel," the spokesman said.
Only on page 37 of the survey's 61 pages do we get a hint of where the cops' beefs stem from: money — or, more specifically, the lack of it.
"Thirty-five per cent of the respondents cited 'raise/pay' as the number one change to improve the lives and working conditions," McLaughlin and Associates wrote. While a labor monitor awarded cops a mere one per cent pay raise, the City Council voted itself a raise of 32 per cent.
NYPD cops continue to earn far less than their suburban brethren, and to do far more. Back in the day, the union brought in Long Island native Richie Hartman as its general counsel. Hartman had earned Nassau and Suffolk cops the highest salaries in the country. Alas, Richie proved of no help to the cops in New York City when it came to raises. He moved on to the Transit Police, which was then separate from the NYPD, and ended up in federal prison on fraud charges.
So where does the PBA go from here? Unfortunately, they have no friendly corner to turn to. De Blasio's poll numbers may be low but who's out there now who can defeat him?
Nor have past mayors been any more generous. In 2004, the union gave a no-confidence vote to Michael Bloomberg's Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly — PBA President Pat Lynch complaining that Kelly was too quick to call the police shooting of an unarmed Brooklyn teenager unjustified.
"This is the straw that broke the camel's back," Lynch said at the time. "We have police officers that are not paid what they're worth and a police commissioner who refuses to say that."
Bloomberg's predecessor, Rudy Giuliani, was no better. Although Rudy credited the cops with driving down crime and making the city safe, he refused to give them a raise during the first two years of a five-year contract. That prompted a line that became, in some circles, as iconic as Gilbert Sullivan's — "Zeroes for Heroes."
