There was a fire outbreak a few hours ago at MMIA, which swallowed up the second floor of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport terminal in Lagos State. The fire was however speedily stopped before the damage could spread.
Eyewitnesses say the fire was the result of an electrical surge and it began on the second floor of the terminal in the FAAN commercial department.

I have to make a confession. I have a slight obsession with all things royal. I read everything I see about Prince William, Duchess Catherine, Prince Harry, the queen and even Prince Charles and Camilla! I know it's weird, but I can't help myself. I think that's part of the reason that I enjoyed the fourth book in the A Year of Weddings series so much. It was a little glimpse into the life of royalty, and I loved every minute of it!
The wedding in this book is the marriage of Susanna and Nathaniel. We met them in the book Once Upon a Prince, which is the first book in the Royal Wedding Series. Since I hadn't read that book (and it was on sale for $1.99 on Amazon!) I bought it to read first. It was wonderful!
You see, Susanna is an ordinary girl, living in Georgia. She's been dating a guy for twelve years. On the day she expects him to propose, he breaks up with her. The very next day she meets a handsome stranger named Nate. She doesn't know he's a prince--and next in line for the throne in Brighton. They fall in love with each other, in spite of a Brightonian law that the king can only marry a citizen of Brighton.
Suffice it to say, Nathaniel and Susanna get engaged, against all odds, and she moves to Brighton to be near him until their wedding. But in A March Bride King Nathaniel has asked Susanna to give up what she considers to be the last part of herself--her American citizenship. Unsure if she can handle this huge sacrifice, Susanna bolts, rushing home to Georgia just weeks before the big day. Now it's up to Nathaniel to prove to her that he loves her no matter her what her citizenship status. Susanna only needs a few days apart from her prince to realize just how much she does love him.
Somehow Ms. Hauck has written these books like a fairy tale for adults! It's the old "girl meets a prince in disguise and falls in love story," but she does it without seeming to cliché or even impossible. Somehow it seems to make perfect sense that a landscape architect from Georgia could marry a king. The engagement and wedding scenes are beautiful to imagine, as is the scenery described in Brighton.
A March Bride has been my favorite wedding so far. I feel that I enjoyed it so much because I took the time to read Once Upon a Prince first. It isn't necessary, but I think it makes you feel more involved in the story. I believe that I would have still liked A March Bride, but it was so much better after reading the prequel.
Also, I had never read Rachel Hauck's books before, but after reading these two stories, I've been looking for other books by her to try. She's a great author! The second book in the Royal Wedding Series is coming out soon, and I'm excited to read it!
I highly recommend A March Bride, and also Once Upon A Prince. I think you'll like them both!
Be on the lookout for my review of An April Bride on April 1!
Happy Reading!
I was given a copy of A March Bride by the publishers in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

The Invention of Lying (Warners)
Ricky Gervais and co-writer/co-director Matthew Robinson have made a pleasant if far from earthshaking comedy about an alternate world in which everyone tells the truth without sugar-coating. This has amusing consequences early when embarrassing thoughts are spoken aloud: when Gervais shows up to take Jennifer Garner out to dinner, she tells him that she hasn't finished masturbating yet, then goes upstairs to do so. Soon, the one-joke script wears thin, and Gervais and Robinson get desperate. Once the hero starts fibbing at will—he talks his way back into his job, extra money from his bank and Garner's pants—he invents God which, in this context, makes no sense. Is this also a world with no literature, philosophy, psychology, painting, music, or the arts of any kind? So many artists have used religious themes over the centuries, but obviously not in this world. Ultimately, The Invention of Lying—despite some laughs and good cameos by Tina Fey, Ed Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jason Bateman—exists in a vacuum. The Blu-ray faithfully renders an undistinguished visual presentation (Gervais and Robinson are more inclined to trust the word than the image), while the extras include meager footage in lieu of a commentary or longer making-of featurette that might better explain the makers' intentions.

Today my Aunt Linda came over. She brought Lulu a wedding veil to play dress up with. Levi got out his fireman hat and they played and played. I dug through the boxes in the garage and found my real bow bouquet from my wedding rehearsal. I have saved it all these years and it's now come in handy! I just knew I would have a little girl who would need it someday.
Levi made the couch a truck and was Lulu's chauffeur and they drove to Mexico. Aunt Linda was the mechanic when they broke down and she also was the drive through person at McDonald's when they got hungry.

Note to readers: Do not threaten Judges in the comments. We don't want to get sanctioned.
Apparently, Judge Perkins was unhappy with some of the comments posted on the blog. Among other things, one comment stated that the judge "should be castrated, tortured and bleed to death." Other comments stated that the judge should be hung. However there was some dispute over whether the hanging should be in downtown Chaska, Minnesota or from the nearest tree. According to the article Judge Perkins has also fined Ms. Banken $10,000 for contempt of the order.
We have previously pointed out that suggesting that judges should be killed is a bad idea. However, in that case the person threatening the judge was punished, not the person providing the forum for threatening the judge.
Of course, Ms. Banken posted about the Judge's order directing that the comments be removed. People commenting on the post responded with exactly the sort of reasoned discourse one might expect. A comment from Linn informs us that the judge is the "biggest DOUCH BAG EVER." (capitalization in original.) Linn asks "how the hell does this man function with no soul!!!??" (exclamation point and question mark usage in original.) Linn also informs us that "HELL HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR people" like the judge. (capitalization in original.) Linn also makes it clear that she wants "SEE A MENTAL EVALUATION DONE ON THIS SICK JUDGE!!" (capitalization and exclamation point usage in original.)
While it is possible that Linn is a writer for "IRISH ARGUMENTS WEEKLY," if I were to make a list of ways to ensure that a "mental evaluation" is not done on someone, making that request in all caps would be high on the list—perhaps even in the top 5.
In any event, the Carver County Corruption blog and the Court's orders are a sad reminder that family law cases are often very bitter disputes. Reviewing the CCCB's comments also made me thankful that the people (person?) who comment on this blog keep the discourse at a higher level. We are nearing our two-year anniversary and we have yet to be fined of held in contempt because of a comment made on this blog.

The case mentioned above gets weirder by the second... the judge is clearly emotionally invested in the case and is ruling on it... it's pretty obvious the venue should be transferred, but doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon.ReplyDelete

Bread – Selfishness
May 17, 2013
Readings for Friday, May 17, designated by the 1979 Book of Common Prayer: Ezek. 34:17-31; Heb. 8; Luke 10:38-42; Psalms 102,107
There is a passage from Ezekiel today that I do not remember reading before, but which drives home our need as Christians to be very, very careful about the degree to which we abuse the blessings God has given us. The passage is:
"Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep…Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet?…Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep…" Ezek. 34:17-18,20
Since every Christian chosen by God for salvation is one of God's sheep, feasting upon God's pasture and water, representing His many blessings in our lives, we need to ask ourselves a serious question – are we one of the "fat" sheep or one of the "lean" sheep?
Since everyone I am writing to (I think) are Americans, one easy answer would be to say that we are all fat sheep, because even in the midst of our poverty we are wealthy beyond many in the world. However, we cannot get away with easy answers to this personal question.
We may be wealthy, but where did our wealth come from? Did it come as a natural blessing from God or did it come from our efforts to crowd out the weaker as we trampled the pasture and muddied the waters? Have we become fat on the back of others? In other words, are we selfish?
I would like to say that I have not done these things, but then I would be a liar, compounding the sin. Let me give you an easy example – who among us, seeing a beggar in the road, have passed by them brusquely on the way to an important meeting, where we can close the "deal?" How many of us have held onto our money, afraid that it will disappear, when we know someone out of a job, suffering grave and expensive illness, or just plain needing a helping hand monetarily?
Forget money for a moment. How many of us have spent a few hours this week doing something for someone else who we know can never return the favor? After all, time to the busy person time may even be more valuable than money. So, we may give money away generously so that we can be conservative in our expenditure of our, more valuable, time. See, being fat isn't just about collecting money.
What about power. Who among us has taken an opportunity which would advance our position and, instead, given it to someone who needs help up the corporate ladder? Who has resigned from a position of power so that someone else who needs it more gets it?
Money, time, power, position – who reading this has not acted like a fat sheep, trampling the pasture and muddying the water, to advance their agenda?
God is going to judge between sheep and sheep. When He asks me whether I have been a fat sheep or a lean sheep, I have to say that I fall on the fat side of the ledger. Lucky for me that, as our reading from Hebrews today emphasizes, I have a great high priest in Jesus Christ who will intercede for me, argue my case before the judge, and win the case because of the cross. I will be saved but I will also be judged, probably as a fat sheep. But I will also have a lot of friends joining me.
So, it is obvious that I need to work on my diet. But how? I can't. That is why it is a work of God. I can't but He can. And, thank God, He is.

AIG, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Bros. et al. are not the failure of internal controls, examination of financials, or Sarbanes-Oxley, but they are the result of a more fundamental flaw in governance: Failure to assess, and advise the board of an understandable assessment of, risks to the enterprise of these organizations.
Nell Minow, editor and chair of The Corporate Library, states in a special to CNN that "[f]ailure this broad and deep takes a village, and regulators, lawyers, compensation consultants, auditors, executives, shareholders, and the press all played a part. But the people who are most responsible for the massive meltdowns of these institutions are the boards of directors."
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its 2004 report on managing enterprise risk state that it must be effect from the top by an entity's board of directors.
The failure at the top of AIG, Bear Stearns, et al. starts with the composition of those governing boards: Not enough persons with experience or expertise in risk assessment. Boards need to take corrective steps before Congress attempts to legislate.
Corrective steps for any organization to consider include:
- Charge nominating committees with identifying and recommending director candidates with experience and expertise in risk assessment.
- Charge appropriate members of management with responsibility for assessing, and reporting to the board their assessments of, enterprise risk. Two such persons in most organizations would be the chief legal officer who is trained to assess and report risks and the chief financial officer who often must quantify risks.
- Empower the identified risk assessors with direct access to, and with the responsibility to be available upon call of, the board and its committees. This access and availability should include periodic meetings of each of these identified risk assessors separately with the board in executive session.
- If the risks are complex, hire independent counsel to review and explain the risks to the board. A board that fails to take care for each of its members to understand such risks is likely in breach of its duties.
- Order periodic assessments of risks to the enterprise by someone independent of management. Consideration should be given to have the periodic assessment lead by independent counsel for the board because the risk assessment will likely be enhanced if protected by the attorney-client privilege controlled by the board in its collective capacity as the governing board.
Risks to assess include legal risks; unexpected hazard or calamity risks; operational risks; financial risks (including investment risks); strategic risks; and reputational risks.
Corporate America, public and private, taxable and tax-exempt, can do better.

One copyediting task that should be easy but can be a nightmare is how to capitalize the titles of works, such as books, magazines, articles, and songs—what The AP Stylebook refers to as "compositions."
The task should be as simple as following a manuscript's style guide, applying either sentence capitalization or headline capitalization.
But the task is not as simple as it seems, particularly for copyeditors who frequently work in more than one style.
Sentence Capitalization
Sentence capitalizaton is fairly easy to master. Capitalize the first word and all proper nouns in the title. If your title has a complete sentence within it, cap the first word of any new sentences. Repeat this process for the subtitle, which is usually introduced with a colon or dash.
One wrinkle with this style is people's titles. Not every title is a proper noun and should be capped. Some are just appositives, which should be lowercased. (Distinguishing formal titles from appositives is a topic for a future blog post.)
Sentence capitalization is frequently used in notes and bibliographies in some styles, such as the American Psychological Association's (APA's) style. It may also be used for article titles and subheads in newspapers and magazines.
Headline Capitalization
More often, though, we're using headline capitalization rules for composition titles. Headline capping is not for the timid, especially if you work in more than one style or frequently run into odd constructions.
The rules are specific and somewhat standard across styles, but each style guide seems to put its own stamp on it. All those I surveyed for this post agree on capping the first and last word. Although not all directly state capping the last word, examples show this to be the case.
The styles also agree on capping the first word in a subtitle. Some use the term subtitle, while others say to cap the word that follows certain punctuation in a title: a period, colon, and dash, though not all styles list all options. And although none includes question or exclamation marks, I think we can safely include them.
After that, the rules get annoyingly complex. Some style guides identify the parts of speech, stating which to cap and under what conditions. Others note that you should cap principal or major words and rather than defining them, they define their opposites (e.g., cap principal words but don't cap articles). The definition of principal or major words varies by style guide, as well.
Then there are hyphenated words. Style guides agree to cap the first word in a hyphenated compound, but whether you cap the second word depends on several criteria (e.g., the presence of a prefix or suffix, permanence of compound, etc.), which vary by style.
Finally, style guides differ on how they treat proper nouns that don't start with a capital, such as iPhone. Some retain the lowercase, even at the beginning of a title or sentence, while others don't.
Tools to Manage Capitalization Rules
How can we keep these rules straight in our heads and among the production team, particularly when our client or employer makes changes to a style guide's rule?
First review the style manual's general capitalization rule. You can get an overview of the styles I surveyed with this table.
Then, download and fill out our recently updated Capitalization Policy Worksheet, originally created by Wendi Nichols for the June–July 2008 issue of Copyediting, to record your policy. Include any deviations from your style guide, and share the results with teammates.
You can use this worksheet for every client or every manuscript that applies a different style. Keep it with your style sheet as an easy reference.

American Governor Christies Bridge Redemption Book PreviewThe ultimate insider to Chris Christie's 2016 presidential campaign delivers a definitive biography of the popular and controversial governor of New Jersey—including the true story behind the Bridgegate lane-closure scandal.
Journalist Matt Katz has been covering Christie since 2011 and has seen firsthand how the governor appeals to the public through his tactics, rhetoric, and personality. In American Governor, Katz weaves a compelling on-the-ground political narrative that begins with the roots of his family's journey to America and takes us through his upset victory over Governor Jon Corzine and then along the road to his announcement of his candidacy for the highest office in the country.
Packed with exclusive information, interviews, and anecdotes, American Governor illustrates how Christie evolved from an unpopular perennial candidate running for local office to the most watched Republican in the country, a populist with leadership skills, charm, and luck seemingly unparalleled by any other up-and-coming politician. Christie has proven himself a dynamic force of nature by emerging wounded but not unbowed after Bridgegate—a scandal that would have destroyed another politician's rising star. A political biography by an inside source who's been on the Chris Christie beat longer than any reporter in New Jersey, American Governor is a thrilling and absorbing look at the modern making of a man and a politician.

"If Obama wins, we'll probably get small-bore stasis; if Romney wins, we're more likely to get bipartisan reform. Romney is more of a flexible flip-flopper than Obama. He has more influence over the most intransigent element in the Washington equation House Republicans. He's more likely to get big stuff done."
Regarding Romney's shift to the center and the likelihood that he will maintain this stance as president, Brooks explains:
"To get re-elected in a country with a rising minority population and a shrinking Republican coalition, Romney's shape-shifting nature would induce him to govern as a center-right moderate. To get his tax and entitlement reforms through the Democratic Senate, Romney would have to make some serious concessions: increase taxes on the rich as part of an overall reform; abandon the most draconian spending cuts in Paul Ryan's budget; reduce the size of his lavish tax-cut promises."
I agree with Brooks that we'll see moderation from Romney if he is elected president.
On the other hand, if Obama is freed from the constraints of re-election, I'm not convinced that "we'll get small-bore stasis." Frankly, my concern is Obama, during a second term, would shed his moderate sheep's clothes and exhibit the leftist radicalism that characterizes his friends and associates from the left whom he dissed on the way to his first term, e.g. the Reverend Wright, Rashid Khalidi and Bill Ayers. The underlying core of narcissism rarely undergoes meaningful change.
In short, with regards to Obama, Brooks did not follow the logic underlying his argument.
Indeed, it should have us worried.

How do bloggers deal with passers-by when taking photos in public? I mean, if I have someone taking photos, cool. But alone, with a tripod? After taking photos in the spot above, I noticed an old lady staring at me out of a window and fled in embarrassment. She must have thought I was doing something suspicious, camera clicking away at a quiet street out back...
Not that I was too upset about changing my place after I came across this utterly gorgeous tree! The perfect autumn backdrop, don't you think? Sadly, I was quite badly out of focus with pretty much all of the shots in this spot (hence the inclusion of the previous photo).

It is obvious that we are in the midst of an economic crisis. Though some economists are apprehensive that the situation will deteriorate further and we will drift into depression akin to the Great Depression (1929-33), most analysts are less pessimistic and are of the view that the problem is only a recession in some economies like the US and the UK and a slowdown in countries like India and China.
Whatever be the diagnosis, the ailment calls for urgent remedial steps. Recession is theoretically defined as fall in Gross Domestic Product or National Income in two consecutive quarters. Recession may be either cyclical or structural. Economies undergo expansion and contraction alternately. If cyclical contraction is severe and prolongs over a minimum of two quarters, it leads to cyclical recession. On the other hand, if misallocation of resources among various competing sectors in the economy results in recession, we call it as structural recession. Misguided economic policies culminate in asset bubbles causing mispricing of assets like real estate,stocks and shares and commodities.
If we look at the origin of the present global economic meltdown, it all started with the drastic fall in real estate prices in America. Market prices of houses in America were earlier recording vertiginous rise year after year because of cheap availability of credit. Continual increase in house prices resulted in positive "wealth effect" stimulating even higher growth in overall consumption demand. Economy was growing on the unsustainable combination of low savings and high consumption which was typical of American culture. When the house price bubble burst, consumption demand was adversely affected and the hunky-dory days came to an end.
Whereas opinion is divided on whether the recession is cyclical or structural, the intensity and recalcitrance of sluggishness in demand indicate that it is a hybrid of the two. Therefore, urgent fiscal and monetary measures are desperately needed to reflate the economy. It is in this background that governments and central banking authorities in various countries are implementing different stimulus packages and an accommodative monetary policy. Ironically, many economists who had traditionally placed 'market mechanism' on a high pedestal and abhorred nationalisation of any kind are now advocating a crucial role for the state to revive the moribund economy. They are even recommending nationalisation of banks to rescue the battered banks and the effete economy. How times have changed !
As RBI has eloquently observed, "Even as policy responses across countries are broadly similar, their precise design,quantum,sequencing and timing have varied".One common policy measure adopted by all countries so far has been to reduce interest rates.It is hoped that the fall in interest rates will encourage borrowings for scaling up production in the real sector and for purchase of houses,cars etc.If more liquidity is released in the economy, consumption also will increase.Thus, supply as well as demand for goods will spiral up, buttressing the economy in the process.Fed rates have been reduced to as low as 0.25% in the US. RBI has pruned the repo rate (the interest rate at which commercial banks can borrow from RBI by pledging G-Secs) from 9% to 5.5% in the space of just one quarter.Though there has been persistent demand from industry to reduce rates further, RBI has wisely refrained from effecting more cuts atleast for the present, while releasing the third quarter review of Monetary Policy recently.
What are the factors to be considered before scaling down interest rates? Interest rates impact various economic indicators like supply and demand for goods and services, exchange value of the rupee, savings culture and inflation prospects. From April 2008 to January 2009, rupee has depreciated against the US Dollar, Japanese Yen and Euro.It has marginally appreciated against Pound Sterling.The rupee underwent precipitous depreciation during February and has worryingly breached the psychological Rs.50 to a Dollar.Further reduction in interest rates in India will only exacerbate the weakness of the rupee.

Chambord !
Here is one of the best known and most visited château in the Loire valley, Chambord. It is also the largest. What really is amazing to me is that it was never a prime residence of any French king. It was "simply" a hunting lodge constructed under the reign of king Francis I. It turns out the king spent only a handful of nights here. But after all he did have the châteaux at Amboise, at Blois, and at Fontainebleau. It's good to be the king.

Lovely shot Stuart. Amazing how this chateau takes on so many different looks depending the season.ReplyDelete
Also see my blog: How-to-not-make-money-with-anonymous-spam.com
I think this was my 3rd or 4th visit to Chambord before I saw it in the sunlight...and even then it was very brief. I had to run to catch it like this before the sun disappeared again.ReplyDelete
I see your blog now has millions of hits.
Yes, nice to be king (until the guillotine came around)ReplyDelete
Joe, I think you have pointed out the universal theme here.ReplyDelete
Yes, that was certainly nice to be the king but i think i prefer making photos of this castle than living in.ReplyDelete

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-449) Generalize the SequenceFileInputFilter to apply to any InputFormat
|Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:53:24 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-449?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12581971#action_12581971 ] Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-449: -------------------------------------- bq. Even if every job can use the filtering functionality, integrating it into Task/MapTask limits where it may be applied. If, for example, one were reading from multiple sources, different sets of filters could be applied to each source. Similarly, a map or a reduce task could use a filtering record reader to read a subset of records indirectly. If it's limited to the interfaces you provide to MapTask, then this code can't be reused elsewhere. Again, since weaving it into core doesn't seem to give you extra functionality- it seems to make it less general- and there's zero performance hit, making it a library looks laced with win. please see below bq. Not exactly. If I apply a RangeFilter to each of my record readers, the join considers a smaller subset of the records read. Since it's generating the cross of all the matching records (i.e. sets A, B, C sharing key k and containing values x1, x2 would emit [a1, b1, c1], [a1, b1, c2], [a1, b2, c1], ... [a2, b2, c2]), my filter would have to reject the cross of all those records, rather than each individually. Further, if I only want to filter the records from B in the previous example, the filter in my map would need more state to ensure I'm not emitting duplicate records to the map (or my map code would have to deal with that). One can imagine other cases where, again, filtering shouldn't be limited to a single part of the job, or cases where it might change the result if filters can only be applied at a certain stage. What we discuss, differs in just one part : As a library : - FilterRecordReader same as before - classes under io.filter - same as before - FilterInputFormat as a thin wrapper - Configure filters from FilterInputFormat (delegating to FilterEngine) - Users may freely extend / use FilterInputFormat, FilterRecordReader, Filter's. As integrated to the core - FilterRecordReader same as before - classes under io.filter - same as before - instead of FilterInputFormat, use FilterRecordReader wrapping MapTask.TrackedRecordReader if filtering is enabled. - Configure filters from JobConf. (delegating to FilterEngine) - Users may freely extend / use FilterRecordReader, Filter's. The bulk of the implementation is in the FilterRecordReader, FilterEngine and Filter implementations, thus this code(and filtering functionality) CAN be reused. Moreover FilterInputFormat from the previous patch is only a wrapper. Assuming we move out FilterRecordReader to a separate class, join framework can easily extend its grammar to accept an InputFormat which filters records from its underlying inputformat (but this is a different issue ). In this sense, the current patch does not "limit" applicability of filtering to other parts of the system, such as using more than one inputFormats, filtering map output results etc, but it enables a filtering framework and enables a frequent use case in which we filter input records to the job. The other use cases can indeed be implemented on top of the patch (in the case of join, it can bypass the core filter, and introduce filtering at another layer). bq. I disagree, and I cite your previous patch. Its interface was not only easier to understand than the postfix additions, but specifying the baseInputFormat was very intuitive. For users seeking to benefit from this, the difficulty delta between the library and Task implementations is so slight that I doubt it'll actually prevent someone from taking advantage of it. The postfix additions is irrelevant to whether filtering should be a library or not. The postfix expressions are a way to specify the filtering expression to use, that part of the API will not be changed if we had sticked with FilterInputFormat. bq. Though Filters will be useful, the semantics of a FunctionFilter aren't so mysterious that people won't want to write those, too. Again, the purpose of both parameters is easily explained, and people will decide whether they should employ them or not. It seems premature to decide that there are only two types of filters, anyway. It sounds like we agree that it's a cleaner interface with only one signature for the eval; I'm just not sure I see the extensibility benefit as clearly. I have separated Filter and FunctionFilter interfaces to enhance encapsulation, not extensibility. Having one eval method is a cleaner interface to core developers who could understand how the postfix expression is evaluated using Dijkstra's algorithm in the FilterEngine class, but it is a cleaner interface to hide all this details from the user if she just wants to develop a Filter. Think about 3 + 4 or in postfix 3 4 +. The 3 and 4 are values, and + is a function. Clearly, the Filters(which are values) and FunctionFilters(which are functions) are different in that case. However 3,4 and + are all represented as symbols so that they can be interpreted and passed to a machine evaluating the expression. Similarly FunctionFilter implements Filter(although it is not a filter) to be passed to the FilterEngine. As most of the users will only implements Filters, and there is only one boolean binary function (which is XOR) which is not implemented, I see no loss of generality in hiding the gory details of FunctionFilters. Maybe the best way was to construct the hierarchy : {code} interface ExpressionItem; interface Filter extends ExpressionItem; interface Function extends ExpressionItem; FilterEngine.add(ExpressionItem item); {code} But had chosen not to do this, to simplify things. Anyway as I said before, now that passing complete objects are imaginable, thanks to HADOOP-3048, I will change the postfix expressions and develop a more intuitive way : {code} Filter f1 = new RangeFilter(2, 5); Filter f2 = new RangeFilter (10, 20); Filter orFilter = new ORFilter(f1, f2); Job.addFilter(orFilter); {code} Well, Chris I share your wisdom about the patch being a library, but I only insist because I [still] think that this way might be better. Other than that, since the implicit votes are 2v1, I will probably implement the next version of the patch as a library including FilterInputFormat, unless someone objects. > Generalize the SequenceFileInputFilter to apply to any InputFormat > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-449 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-449 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.17.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.17.0 > > Attachments: filtering_v2.patch, filtering_v3.patch, filterinputformat_v1.patch > > > I'd like to generalize the SequenceFileInputFormat that was introduced in HADOOP-412 so that it can be applied to any InputFormat.

This will require adding a next(key) and getCurrentValue(value) to the RecordReader interface, but that will be addressed in a different issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Just a quick note to apologize for the gap between actual postings -- someone turned the "insane" dial at work up to 11 a couple of weeks back and broke the knob off, and it's all been coming home to roost (so to speak).
Incidentally, the Pipsqueak's back to her old self (now it's Grandma & Uncle B who are having tummy trouble)... the whole family had dinner together tonight and she was her usual fun, teasing, laughing self. One new thing she's learned is that you can ask for a hug -- and she'll usually give you one in response! (This of course, doesn't thrill me in the least; I only asked for 7 or 8 -- but I got one every time!) She's also getting better at hide-and-seek, at saying "thank you," and at noticing when the cat has left the room. She also gets waaay excited at "The Wheels on the Bus" but actually grabs for the TV remote when "The Muffin Man" song comes on (I kinda agree with her).
Anyway, the weather's also been weird... the latest was the combined sleet & freezing rain we had just a couple of days after the temps reached 70! The flowers had already begun blooming, so while you're waiting for me to finish my entry about our visit to the Reed Flute Cave near Guilin, here's a quick shot of how the combination of simultaneous spring & winter looked:
Thoughts & reflections by the proud uncle of a special young lady adopted from China.
My niece joined the family on July 12th, 2010. This special young lady's mother is my younger sister, which in classic Chinese culture makes me her Jiu Jiu (舅舅) -- thus the title of this blog. Here I intend to semi-regularly post reflections, thoughts, stories, and assorted whathaveyous pertaining to our trip to China, adoption in general, and (mostly) watching my niece grow up. Since the web is a very public place, I will attempt to maintain my family's privacy while telling the story... but I invite you to follow the blog and come along for the adventure!

3 caterpillars
This first one was either freshly dead or paralyzed by a spider. I found it dangling from a length of silk attached to a parking lot sign at the arboretum. This was under a row of Chinese Elm trees. I am not familiar with this kind of caterpillar.
This one was curled up on a calendula flower.
This tiny guy looked like he was making a tent it what was left of a gazania flower. I returned later to see if he had pupated or something. All that was left was a little pile of droppings.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi authorities have issued arrest warrants for the former central bank chief and other bank officials after a probe into corruption, a decision likely to fuel investor worries the government is interfering with the bank's autonomy.
The warrants were announced after Iraq's cabinet on Tuesday ousted director Sinan al-Shibibi over parliamentary charges bank officials were abusing dollar sales. An independent integrity watchdog had been investigated the charges.
"The judicial panel of the Integrity Court is investigating the matter," said Abdul-Sattar al-Birqdar, a spokesman for the Supreme Judiciary Council. "They issued the arrest warrant against Sinan al-Shibibi and other officials in the bank."
The Integrity Court is part of Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council, which supervises the courts and judicial issues.
The central bank said this week it did not object to the investigation. Shibibi's whereabouts were not immediately clear. But the bank chief recently travelled to Tokyo and Europe on business and it was not clear whether he returned to Iraq.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki last year won a court ruling that put the central bank and other independent bodies under cabinet supervision, a move his opponents said would allow the Shi'ite premier to consolidate his power.
Iraq's political system has mired in infighting among Shi'ite, Sunni Muslim and ethnic Kurdish blocks, some of whom accuse Maliki of failing to fulfill power-sharing agreements in the cross-sectarian government.
But corruption is rife in the OPEC nation as its oil industry rebuilds and foreign investors seek to reconstruct its infrastructure after years of war and sanctions even before the 2003 invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein.

I guess I am getting back into the poetry groove. There were a few words, an image, scratching at me on the way to work, so I got a scrap of paper & a pencil from the convenient compartment in Beverly's dashboard and got the words down at a stoplight or two. (I'm not foolish enough to risk Beverly's health by trying to write while driving.) I wish I had a photo of the inspiration.

Carretto Siciliano
Horse, again! I took this photo a few days ago. The Fieracavalli is now finished but last saturday many, many carriages came all the way from the Exhibition Centre, to Piazza Bra. It was a great show, believe me. My daughter's favourite one was this, the Carretto Siciliano: the most typical sicilian cart. I don't know the history of this sophisticated mean of transport but I can say that it has a very peculiar paintwork that includes the wheels! It is stunning!

Oh wow, that's fabulous! And the designs look like they tell a story too!
Sounds like you and your daughter had a great time!

It's gorgeous.
I think that white horse is a little shy.

Oh my gosh, how beautiful is that?
But how does the horse see? His eyes are covered by the decorative patches.

Now that is a Sicilian carretto! Living in Sicily you rarely see such carts out and about. Once in Monreale near Palermo there was a man with a cart not half as elaborate as this one. I took a good photo of my parents who were visiting with it and the old man was so nice about it.

DAYTON, Ohio -- D.
Pete Maravich Jazz Jersey
.J. Evans is charitably listed at 5-foot-9. His coach and teammates tease him that he looks a foot shorter. Yet he stood awfully tall for Albany on Tuesday night. Evans scored 22 points, including two clinching free throws with 12.6 seconds left, to lead the Great Danes to their first NCAA tournament victory, 71-64 over Mount St. Marys in the First Four. Evans, an often overlooked component in Albanys lineup, belied his height with nine rebounds to go with three assists. "Hes about 4-foot-8, so hes really impressive," laughed his running mate at guard, Peter Hooley, who had 20 points. "I dont think theres another 4-8 guard who could go in there and get that many boards. He did what he needed to do to get this win." It was a signature victory for the America East Conference tournament champs, who had come up empty in three previous trips to the big dance. "It means a lot," said an emotional coach Will Brown. "Theres no better feeling. Like I told our kids, were going to be in the history books at the University of Albany forever." The Great Danes (19-14) advance to meet overall No. 1 seed and top-ranked Florida on Thursday in Orlando. But that was a concern for another day. It was a wild game of incredible turnarounds, with the Great Danes bolting to leads of 13-0 and 21-2, only to have The Mount (16-17) bounce back with a 21-2 run of its own to pull even. Hooley, one of three Australians on the Albany roster, hit two free throws with 2:43 remaining to stretch the lead to 65-62. After Julian Norfleet countered with a bucket, Hooley again pounded his way to the basket and lofted a shot over a defender for a 67-64 lead at the 2-minute mark. It stayed that way with the teams missing big shots. Rashad Whack and Norfleet each missed potential tying 3s -- Whacks rolled almost inside the rim and then bounded away. "When it hit the rim, I thought it was going to go in," Whack said softly. Evans was fouled with 12.6 seconds left and hit both shots to increase the lead to five points -- and out of reach of another long-range shot. Evans was most proud of his rebounding. "They shot a lot of 3s and there were a lot of long rebounds," he said with a grin. "I was just at the right place at the right time." After playing two years of junior-college ball and sitting behind a senior starter a year ago, Brown told Evans his day would eventually come. "Hes the happiest kid in the world right now," Brown said. Norfleet then missed another 3 and Albany finally could call itself an NCAA winner. Will Miller, a freshman who came off the bench, led The Mount with 21 points, all on 3s. But he didnt get off a shot in the last 3:32 after making back-to-back 3s to draw the Mountaineers within a point. Whack added 16 points and Sam Prescott 14 for The Mount, which electrified the crowd at the University of Dayton with 3-point fireworks. The Mountaineers hit 12 of 37 shots behind the arc to time and again come back from deficits. The glut of 3-pointers was nothing new for the Mountaineers. They came in with an offence heavily dependent on shots behind the arc. They averaged 9 of 25 on 3-pointers coming in. Albany had made some racket in the NCAAs before, but had never come out on top. In 2006, the Great Danes led by double figures in the second half but lost to Connecticut, 72-59. A year later, they held their own before falling Virginia, 84-57. A year ago, as a 15 seed, they battled Duke throughout before coming up short, 73-61. Mount St. Marys was also making its fourth NCAA appearance, although it had won once before -- a victory over Coppin State in 2008 in the old format of an opening-round leading into the big tournament. Albany led 35-31 at the break, but that didnt tell the story of one bizarre half. The Mount couldnt do much right for the first 8-plus minutes. The Great Danes raced to a 13-0 lead. The Mountaineers missed misfired on their first 11 shots from the field, including six behind the arc. "A lot of teams would have folded," said Mount coach Jamion Christian. "Our guys didnt do that. They took the punch and they bounced back." Things quickly turned around, with Mount going on an 18-0 run. Like a couple of sparring partners, the teams kept trading flurries in the second half. Down 45-41, Albany went on a 10-1 run. Trailing 60-53, the Mountaineers scored nine of the next 12 capped by Millers two 3s to cut the deficit to a point. That set the stage for Evans to play like a giant.
Dante Exum Jazz Jersey
. The 36-year-old Colts receiver is going back to the playoffs as a division champion.
Custom Jazz Jersey
. When New Zealand finally held on for an 8-7 win, France No. 8 Imanol Harinordoquy collapsed to the ground, having given every drop of energy he could muster, and lay prone as All Blacks danced around him in celebration. Few critics had given France any chance, but coach Marc Lievremonts team rallied from 8-0 down and came within one kick of taking the lead with 15 minutes remaining, only for flyhalf Francois Trinh-Ducs 49-meter effort to drift wide.
. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 5th. The 34-year-old Laval, Que. native has played six seasons with the Penguins.Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Old Friends, the nonprofit thoroughbred retirement center, has been chosen to receive the Special Eclipse Award for 2014 for its work involving thoroughbreds after their racing careers are over. The honor will be presented during the 44th annual Eclipse Awards on Saturday, Jan. 17 at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Michael Blowen, the former Boston Globe film critic, began Old Friends in 2003 and currently cares for more than 150 rescued and retired horses in Georgetown, Kentucky. This is just unbelievable, Blowen said. We started with one horse just over 10 years ago and now we have 166 retirees.
George Hill Jazz Jersey
. We have several Eclipse Award winners already at the farm; I cant wait to show them mine! It allows us to take other horses that really didnt do as much but deserve a retirement just as well. I want people to come away with really good feelings about the sport of horse racing because I adore it and weve made some inroads in that direction. Last years honoree was Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance which provides a similar service. The Eclipse Awards are voted on by the NTRA, Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters.

A murder case took place in a theatre with the lead actor being killed. A detective was tasked to investigate the case. The theatre group is determined to go ahead with the performance as their survival is hinged on it and the detective is trying to find the killer whom he believes is among the theatre group.
Some of the characters acting in this detective series.
I have to agree that the story flow well with the clues gathered from each episodes. Each episode is crucial in finding out the killer of the lead. Towards the end, you get to realise how everything was linked to the murderer. However, I guess it was suppose to be another intended killer but circumstances changes everything.
Personally, I felt that Jessica Liu acted well with her given role. She bring out her character well with expressive emotion. I could see a slight improvement in Elvin Ng's acting though I felt that he could be more expressive and bring forth more emotions to his character. Despite being the new actor, I thought that James Seah acted well even though his given role was small. The other cast did quite good too.
If you enjoy watching thriller series and have not watch it, you may wish to catch this detective web series here!

From the field
I am writing from the Colorado HamCon just after lunch and a rousing morning of ham radio hopefuls taking exams and a presentation by one of my MARC VE team members, Wes Wilson, head of the team. He talked about the local group's participation in the communications and clean-up during Katrina, which captured my attention to the point where I did some impromptu interviewing of people asking questions and offering insight into the communications cock-up that kept ham radio operators out of the action until the second week after Katrina had done her worst, too late to do more than get moved from place to place without not much to do. Seems there is a story to tell there about hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment the Dept. of Homeland Security bought that didn't work and they don't want the tax payers to know how much money was spent on equipment that failed when put to the test.
Outside of that session I need to come back at midnight to find out what the Wouff Hong is and how it is used to discipline hams who operate in the obnoxious range of things and are "lids". Not a good thing and it definitely looks like a nasty piece of equipment, but have laptop will find information -- and I have the information I need. I'll probably still come back just to show off a little bit. It will be my one and only chance to know something ahead of time.
Our VE liaison, Dean, looked at me for the first time in over a year and noticed that my callsign (ACØCA) is a palindrome (reads the same way front to back and back to front). I think it's also the first time he realized I was female. In his defense, he didn't have his coffee yet and he usually stands with his back to me when he does his spiel about the procedures and protocols of a VE exam session. I'll remember and use the information to devil him for as long as I can.
The news about Dean Haskins (KAØPII) is pretty good. He's still in a coma but he is responding to stimulus and will pick up his exercise ball when he drops it. He opens his eyes from time to time but he isn't cognizant -- at least not overtly so -- right now. I was a bit worried when I heard they had put in a tracheostomy tube because I thought they were putting him on long term ventilatory support, but it's just a matter of clearing the secretions in his throat and keeping his airway open. The news is pretty good and hopefully he will be back with us soon because we all miss him.
Other than that, chuck_lynn and I have been running around Rocky Mountain National Forest, Tabernash, Granby, Fraser, Winter Park (at my favorite organic food market), Lyons, Boulder and Estes Park. We have sampled venison, buffalo and elk jerky, organic popcorn and, of course, chocolate from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (yes, fans they do have one here in Estes Park). We have seen lots and lots of elk cows and plenty of elk bulls with their velvet covered horns grazing in the fields and along the streets and roadways into, out of and around Estes Park. I even managed to find a wireless connection here at HamCon by pirating the hotel's wireless network which is why I decided not to leave quite so early.
However, it's about time to wrap it up, pick up some steaks at the Safeway and go get some rest before I make my return appearance tonight.
That is all. Disperse.

By Nancy Means Wright
With research you never know what new worlds might open up. Not infrequently a fresh encounter or a chance remark or bit of local news has altered my plot and offered a fresh, exciting way to end a story. It even changed the focus of this blog–originally a piece about Christmas–when a friend invited me to attend a Middlebury College talk about two remarkable women who had lived in the area more than a century and a half ago.
Author Rachel Hope Cleves discovered the women in Middlebury's Sheldon Museum while researching a work about the 19th-century American romantic poet, William Cullen Bryant. She unearthed a letter in which the poet mentioned the alleged "marriage" of his niece, Charity Bryant (1777-1851) to another woman, Sylvia Drake (1784-1868). The two females ran a prosperous sewing and tailoring business out of their home, and lived together as respected members of their local church and community.
The young women had encountered scorn and intolerance in their respective Massachusetts communities, and, in their twenties, had fled independently to live in the frontier town of Weybridge, Vermont. Months after meeting, they fell in love, rented a room, and on July 3, 1807, moved in together. Charity wrote out their "consent," a term for marriage in 19th-century vernacular, to live as "help-meets," a common synonym derived from Genesis 2:18 for marital partners. Sylvia performed the wifely domestic chores, while the more extroverted Charity took on the role of husband and business partner, and was recorded as head of the household by Federal census takers. Both women sewed fiercely, taught Sunday school at the local church, cooked for church suppers, and were listed together on land and tax records.
Undoubtedly there were whisperings and raised eyebrows about the relationship, but If there was any talk of punishment by law, Cleves said, it was ignored. The pair slowly gained acceptance and were considered a couple, rather than two spinsters living together out of need. For yes, this was a marriage of love. The Sheldon Museum holds in its archives framed silhouettes of the two women, done in the early 1800s by an itinerant artist. The women had braided bits of their hair in loops to frame the portraits, with the middle loop in the shape of a heart–"a message of romantic unity of souls" according to Cleves, "that in the grammar of early America signaled marriage."
"The sameness of the silhouettes is misleading," Cleves asserts, "a misapprehension that obscures their differences from each other, and their differences as a pair from others at the time."
The women by all accounts lived together in health, sickness, and hard times until Charity's death in 1851, and were ultimately buried side by side in the Weybridge cemetery where one can still visit their grave. If the relationship wasn't "legal" as it is today in Vermont and other liberal states, "their union," Cleves said, "was within the contemporary category of marriage."
Whether Cleves will complete her research on Charity's Uncle William, remains to be seen. But through her side trip into the history of the poet's niece and her partner, readers have gained a compelling story of love, tolerance, and acceptance. No closeted love affair this–but an open secret, with an entire village looking on! In 1843 another nephew published a lyrical portrait of their lives that he called "no less sacred to them than the ties of marriage." And Cleves' new book, Charity and Sylvia: A Same Sex Marriage in Early Weybridge, Vermont, is now on the shelves.
Isn't it amazing what one's research might turn up? We must keep our minds and hearts open and our pens at the ready. And remember that Christmas (my original topic) is about love.

Budgie's Journal #68 – WIP Wednesday 6 – The Summer of Editing Resumes
I said goodbye to Freedom Lane for the summer. Season 11 finished airing last week and I had completed my writing of season 12 too. Then it was back to editing.
I worked on a bit of writing on those pesky works in progress I started. I never seem content working on one project. Notably, I started a book called The Whore Ghosts of the Admiral Inn. I even wrote over six thousand words. I also outlined a bit of I'm in Sci-fi Hell too, giving myself a better idea on where the story is headed.
But I'm going to talk about my next big release, Blood Drive. I'm on draft two, adding scenes, rearranging, and deleting. And I've done all of that in the hundred pages or so I've gotten through.
I have to admit, without sounding too boastful I hope, that I really enjoy the hell out of this story, and I love the characters. What's there not to love about two vampires, a werewolf, a priest and the way they interact with one another throughout the blood heist and cross-country adventure.
I'm hoping a lot of people end up checking this one out, because I feel that it's a lot of fun. But I'm having a blast writing it either way, so I win.
I'll keep updating, but you can expect this to be released in mid-october. Feel free to interact with me on Twitter or Facebook too. I'm always looking for new writer friends.
Keep in touch! I'll be editing.
-Budgie Bigelow

The late Great Ray DeMarini realized this as he was more than a stud softball hitter as he developed bat technology that set the standard for an entire sport. Just look around your bat rack and his impact is undeniable. DeMarini emerged on the professional softball (arc) scene at the age of 40, a veritable geriatric among younger players. With a scientific approach to training, a batting speed of 96 miles-per-hour and a bombastic attitude, DeMarini fast earned a reputation as a savage competitor. In 1989, having garnered national recognition as the star of ESPN's best-selling instructional video, Ray DeMarini's Reflex Hitting System, DeMarini turned his efforts toward designing a high-performance bat for the masses. He left a well-paying cubicle job to make softball bats in a crusty old barn. He was passionate and that gave him a competitive edge. DeMarini focused on making one line of high-performance bats for pros and amateurs alike. With $10,000 in seed money, an engineer for a partner, and a lifetime of pent-up passion, DeMarini took the softball industry by storm. when asked "how do you think you can compete against the Giant Bat Companies Ray responded as the true smart psycho he was "HOW DO YOU THINK THOSE CUMBERSOME GIANT COMPANIES CAN COMPETE WITH ME." He delivered a series of industry firsts: by 1992 he and his partner Mike Eggiman created the first high performance multi-walled bat, The DOUBLE WALL, and it changed the game of softball FOREVER.
(Doublewall Distance),
the first high-performance bat for huge players (Fatboy),
the first high-performance youth bat (Black Coyote) and the first technology to yield virtually indestructible bats (FLi).
He made millions by providing the opportunity for every softball player (mass appeal) to own a Custom Factory Bat.
True Marketing Genius.
He parlayed product innovation with marketing flair by staring and creating the classic slow pitch TV SHOW "ULTIMATE SOFTBALL - dude this guy was a good player and had cojones. A True softball legend and one of my hero's - both as a player and business man.
P.S. In future blog, I will review some current softball bats out there
