Personally, for the simple "variable equals value" case I always use the variant with variable name first, since in most cases this occurs for me in if/elif/cond blocks that are, at least partly, the logical equivalent of a switch block. The second variant I use sometimes with "<" in lisp, as the prefix notation throws me off in this case if I mix ">" and "<", e.g.
Code: Select all
(and (< 0 x) (< x 10))
Otherwise I only use the second variant if the comparison isn't constant-to-variable but constant-to-expression, e.g.
Code: Select all
(eq 'idle (cdr (assq 'state process-info))) ; I use this in lisp
if process_info.state == "idle": ... # But not in python
if (process_info.state == "idle") { ... // or C-inspired languages
but not even then if it is python.

For anyone who has watched The Wire, it's no surprise that Maryland (Baltimore, in particular) has one of the highest rates of violent crime in the country. In an alleged effort to address this persistent problem, the state requires an applicant for a license to carry a handgun to demonstrate "a good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger."
Under this prove-it-to-use-it standard, Baltimore County resident Raymond Woollard, who had had a license to carry for six years (after a violent home invasion), was denied a license renewal because he could not document that he had been threatened recently. The fact that he had been attacked by his son-in-law seven years earlier, an event to which it took law enforcement two-and-a-half hours to respond, was insufficient to meet Maryland's special-need requirement.
Woollard, along with the Second Amendment Foundation, thus brought suit challenging the law under the Supreme Court's recent decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010). Although the district court ruled for Woollard, finding that Maryland's restriction violated the Second Amendment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturned the lower court and reinstated the law. The court purported to apply "intermediate scrutiny," which allows a challenged statute to survive only if it is "substantially related to the achievement of an important governmental interest," but in fact, hardly applied any scrutiny at all. The court's analysis was both circular and contemptuous of Heller, finding that a regulation is "substantially related" to the valid government interest of curtailing criminal gun violence if it merely reduces the number of citizens lawfully carrying handguns, thus accepting the state's implicit argument that the right to bear arms was itself the problem, one that should not be overcome without "a good and substantial" reason.

I thought it might be a nice idea to have a thread where people can show off their moments in LOTRO whether it be for artistic purposes or simply showing off the great game we all play and enjoy!
I know there is an already artwork thread but I do not feel screenshots would or should fall validly under that title.
In an attempt to kick start this idea (hoping it doesn't die a death hah!) I shall post a couple of starter screenshots I have taken.

A taste of government
Students visit State Capitol
March 22, 2013
By Mike Killeen
Lobbyists aren't the only people bending lawmakers' ears at the Minnesota State Capitol these days.
Students from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University attended the 2013 Day at the Capitol event Wednesday, March 20, in St. Paul to encourage lawmakers to increase the state's investment in the Minnesota State Grant program.
Gov. Mark Dayton has proposed $80 million in new investment in the need-based State Grant program - a 25 percent increase over current funding. Currently, the program funds more than 90,000 students each year. One in four Minnesota college students who attend private and public institutions receive State Grants.
The students - 17 from CSB and 17 from SJU - met with their hometown lawmakers to educate them about the importance of the State Grant program and encouraged them to support the governor's budget request.
If Dayton's request is approved, it is estimated that 5,000 additional college students would be able to receive State Grants awards for the first time. A significant share of the new funding would help families earning more than $50,000.
"Gov. Dayton has proposed a historic increase in the state's investment in our college students - and Minnesota's economic future," said CSB President MaryAnn Baenninger, who also serves as the Minnesota Private College Council's board chair. "To put it simply, helping college students helps us all."
The Minnesota Private College Council provides training and materials to the students and makes legislative appointments for participants.
While at the Capitol, the students also observed a session of the House of Representatives and participated in a gathering of CSB and SJU alumnae/i who work at the Capitol in a variety of roles, including politicians and lobbyists. Following the gathering, students were able to network with the CSB and SJU alumnae/i.
This was the third of four such days for Minnesota private colleges. Joining CSB and SJU for this day was Saint Mary's University and Concordia University, St. Paul.

TONGA has a new Internal Affairs Minister- Penisemani 'Epenisa Fifita.
The Tongatapu Nine representative replaces Fe'ao Vakata who was sacked three weeks ago.
Fifita served as chairman of the Whole House Working Committee and his appointment was approved by King Tupou VI.
This means Prime Minister 'Akilisi Pohiva has lost the opportunity to appoint the lone female member of the house, Akosita Lavulavu, to his Cabinet.
RAPIDLY rising reports of corruption in Australia and New Zealand are reflected in drops on the world's leading corruption index.
"For countries that like to win at everything they do, Australia and New Zealand had some disappointing news late in 2014, with both dropping one ranking in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index rankings of the least corrupt public sectors," says Suzanne Snively, Chair of the New Zealand chapter of Transparency International.
New Zealand is now ranked second while Australia is 11th, dropping out of the Top 10.
"This drop is a wake-up call for your organisation," Snively is quoted as saying in the Deloitte survey, released in March.
So how big is the problem now? Again, the Deloitte survey is short on detail when it comes to actual costs of corruption in New Zealand and Australia.
However, a rough idea can be gained from existing estimates.
The Deloitte survey quotes a 2008 report from the World Economic Forum, the International Chamber of Commerce, the United Nations Global Compact and Transparency International that the global cost of corruption is estimated to equal more than 5 per cent of global GDP (US$2.6 trillion), with over US$1 trillion paid in bribes each year.
If the Australian economy of $1.5 trillion suffers the same level of corruption as global estimates, costs there would be US$78 billion.
Similarly, the New Zealand economy of $185 billion would see corruption costs of US$9.2 billion. To put that in perspective, Australia currently spends around US$4 billion on aid, with New Zealand aid equalling US$500 million.
From a global context, corruption costs are 13 times of global aid targets to halve world poverty.
In other words, money lost to corruption could end world poverty six times over.

Stage Ten - Monday 15 May
187 kilometres, medium mountain stage
Bluffers guide: Skirting the western edge of the Apennine ridge, the Giro meanders into Umbria, close to the geographical centre of the country. It will alight at wonderful, evocative Assisi, another classic central Italian fortress town which was the birthplace of St. Francis. Back in 1982 Bernard Hinault (three giri ridden, three won) blasted round a time trial win here.
Buon appetito: Strangozzi (literally "Strangled priests") is long, chopped pasta synonymous with this part of central Italy. Black truffle ("tartufo nero") is to be found around Norcia, white in the Val Tiberina, and both are perfect partners. You could do a hell of a lot worse…
Local hero: Eros Capecchi (Liquigas) – Likely to be the only Umbrian rider in the race, Capecchi is highly respected within the Italian cycling community. He'll be hoping for a repeat of his breakthrough 2011 stage win. He triumphed at San Pellegrino Terme, on an undulating stage just like this one.
Bergonzi says: "This is for the punchers. It's a tough day, with lots of lactic, and so whoever wins will really have to earn it. The time gaps will be small, but it's about the effect days like today have on what's to follow."

Starting your own business and becoming a small business owner is part of many Americans' dreams. For some though, it can become a nightmare. There are definitely some right ways and wrong ways to approach starting your own business. Over my tenure as an experienced business advisor, I have seen plenty of heartache and additional expense along the way. Here are some of Do's and Don'ts to consider if you want to start your own business:
Read Also: Dream Big: Considerations For The Aspiring Business Owner
- Do: Go simple – Unless someone besides your spouse will own the business with you, you don't need anything other than a simple limited liability company. It offers you liability protection while minimizing your tax filing requirements. Being the sole owner and having this sort of entity allows you to file you business's activity on a Schedule C on your Form 1040. Until the business grows and is successful, this entity type will likely be sufficient for your small start-up.
- Don't: Go cheap – Small business owners tend to think they can or should do everything themselves. A lot of sweat equity goes into starting a new business, but be smart and humble enough to know the difference between what you can do and what you should do. It's OK to ask for help!
- Do: Involve professionals – This is an area where new business owners tend to want to go cheap. No one likes paying attorneys and folks don't know they need a tax professional sometimes until it's too late. Getting set up with the proper legal documents is a critical first step, and it's one that new business owners like to try to tackle on their own. I know from experience that a good attorney is worth the expense. Don't know who to ask? Start asking other established business owners who they use.
- Don't: Do payroll yourself (unless you have experience) – Some of the heftiest penalties the IRS assesses involves payroll taxes. They don't mess around when it comes to properly assessing and remitting payroll taxes and paying your employees. Even one slip up can set a business back several thousand dollars. The issues continue to compound if they are not properly taken care of, so don't ignore this extremely important aspect of your business. Unless you have prior experience with payroll or you hire someone with experience, this is an area where you should seek professional help.
- Do: Consult your local Chamber of Commerce – Chambers of Commerce exist to assist businesses in a multitude of ways. Our local Chamber offers Small Business Counseling classes that are meant for new business owners who are just starting up a business. These classes include counseling, training and assistance for start-up businesses. This local resource can be invaluable if you choose to utilize it.
Starting a new business is a brave and exciting endeavor. Avoid common slip-ups by following the advice above and you'll be well on your way to a successful start.
Around the same time you start your business, you'll also want to consider your business's growth strategy. Lee Beall, CPA, CEO at Rea & Associates, covered this topic in a podcast episode on unsuitable on Rea Radio. Check it out to learn what you need to do to establish or strengthen your business's strategic plan.

On the Street….. Workwear Chic, Milano
CommentsClose comment
38 comments
Is wearing scarves the big thing now? I mean, should I be hipping myself to this trend or is it just a European thing. I live in Germany and a lot of guys wear them but is it like a global trend now?
Looks like one of those work shirts one picks up from the thrift stores or the Army/Navy surplus place… EXCEPT. The shoulders are perfectly turned, the sleeves fit just so, and the placket is sewn diagonally to the edge of the shirt. It is perhaps by one of those Japanese designers that are inspired by early 20th Century work clothes? I love this, the closest think I own is a vintage LLBean overshirt, which I cherish! Jorge from W Palm Beach
he's back and he's STILL gorgeous with great style. love the flat front, the monochromatic color scheme with a brighter green to pop it around his neck. and even though i sound like i love all the effort, he makes it look effortless which is what we all want right?
Very cute. That scarf is perfect.
I love the glasses, scruffy beard, and hair. It reminds me what I have to look forward to when I'm older.
Ascots for the people! The last time we saw Robert here he wore an ascot as part of a more traditional ensemble but it's certainly not traditoinal with this one. I love it-I like surprizes! It's interesting how seeing this second look really makes me love the concept whereas upon seeing the first I just accepted it as nothing out of the ordinary. Of course now I'll picture him in an ascot every day- and who knows?
again, the scarf is just wonderful !! It's makes the outfit complete. Would like to find out what shoes he's wearing …
Who is this man? He's on here pretty often.
Isn't this Robert that we saw earlier in NY? Seems to have a knack for sophisticated color choices in the ascotesque scarf.
Nice colors in the photo. The blue sleeve, red tail light and yellow on the pavement set up a nice primary triangle as a middleground.
A growing trend.
good scarf. green color makes his outfit more positive)
Like the scarf. Like the glasses. The rest of the outfit, however, makes me think less of "workwear chic" and more "Maoist famine" and "Steel mills in every backyard to crush the Running Dogs of Western imperialism!"
What a great simplistic look. Nothing flashy, but everything comes together very nicely. I can only hope to dress this well in years to come.
I wear one nearly everyday and I'm in America. But, then again, I work on a ranch and it's a functional item and not a frilly decoration.
Those glasses are beautiful.
I think he looks so french. Wonderful!
I love your pics.
/Katarina, from Sweden
Hey pop!
2nd instalment for slow learners…
If you still don't get this give up.
beatnik chic
He is an ascott workin' maniac. I like his style a lot.
I have a collection of vintage scarves. This guy is gonna make me start wearing them. I also have a pair of glasses like that.
It's funny how something you already own can look so cool on another person, yet you hesitate to wear it yourself.
He reminds me of my attempts to be "bohemian" while in college.
flawless. a master.
Love the scarf and the glasses. The wore one (scarf that is) the other day after seeing it so much in this blog. Everybody liked it.
Papa Di Caprio?
reminds me of a dapper salt and peppered college professor that you could teach you a lot. a lot. ;)
Hands down, my favourite guy look ever to appear on Sartorialist! Every detail is perfect! Love the cravat!
Castro would be proud of that jacket.
He's gotta be a professor someplace
I don't know about this one. Sure, I like the scarf, but doesn't this jacket make his head look too big for his body?
Or is his head just too big for his body?
Robert Rabensteiner, he's a stylist
Several comments about "years to come" , "when I'm older", etc. I know when I first commented on him I said he looked older until I enlarged the photo, but he looks fairly young to me-clear skin, unlined face, etc. Age perceptions based on these photos are intersting and not, I think, always accurate. Anyway, Robert is rocking in my opinion.
I like it. simple and fitted. The bottons are pecfectly placed.A barret would make it nicer, i think.
A.I. Lastar
Will the image of Thurston Howell ever be forgotten enough for a man to wear a scarf without being viewed in caricature mode? The media persists in using a man in an ascot as a milquetoast. Sigh.
I love it!
From the glasses to his hairstyle and beard, to all the shades of green. Great photo.
It saddens me that nobody commented on his eyes. He has pretty eyes (I wear glasses, too, and they don't block your eyes, they can accentuate them).
Pretty eyes.
Love his natty scarf – where can I get something like this?

A door-to-door laundry service that picks up soiled socks by bike announced it would be offering pedicabs as a transportation option during SEPTA's off-hours. But the new service was a hoax meant to draw attention to the #SEPTA247 campaign, while highlighting Wash Cycle Laundry's latest upgrade.
The company teamed up with 28-year-old Conrad Benner, the photographer behind the popular Streets Dept blog, which first announced the ruse.
"I'm really just looking for ways to keep people interested in the [SEPTA247] campaign and keep pressure on SEPTA," said Benner, who has more than 2,400 signatures on the petition he launched in early March calling for overnight service on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines.
The light-hearted take on the transit issue is "just another way to keep the conversation going about how ridiculous our transportation options are in this city," he said.
SEPTA is continuing to work on a pilot program that would offer overnight subway service on weekends, according to Andrew Busch, a SEPTA spokesman.
"We still have work to do to figure out what the costs will be and the logistics in terms of how employees will be deployed," said Busch, who added SEPTA officials began investigating the pilot program about six months ago.
This past winter several storms led the agency to replace the Market-Frankford NiteOwl Express bus lines, which run from midnight to 5 a.m., with train service.
The switch, a safety decision to keep buses off icy roads, sparked a conversation among the public to reinstate the 24/7 subway service that was cancelled in 1991.
When asked if reinstating overnight train service was a talking point in contract negotiation meetings, Busch declined to comment except to say he anticipates research and planning of the pilot program to operate independently of the union talks as they have so far.
Initially transit authorities expected to have a full report and a timeline for overnight weekend service on the subway and El by mid-April, but the end of the month is more likely, Busch said.
Around that same time, Wash Cycle Laundry employees will be navigating new electronic-assist tricycles -- capable of holding and hauling 600 pounds of laundry -- through Philadelphia streets, said Leigh Goldenberg, Wash Cycle Laundry Inc.'s director of marketing.
"With the electric assist, if it gets slightly beyond the capacity a human can do on their own, then a motor kicks in," Goldenberg said.
Currently a Wash Cycle Laundry employee will tow about 300 pounds of laundry in a trailer attached to their bike, which is powered solely by their legs, she said.
"This expands the reach of where we can go, getting up and down hills is going to be a lot better," she added. "It increases the efficiency of what we can do in a single route."
Goldenberg admits the staged photo, which shows an employee carting around two people in Wash Cycle Laundry's current trailer-equipped bicycle setup, was a markteting opportunity.
The company has no plans to add a pedicab fleet, but the April Fool's joke gave the "all-green" laundry service a chance to lend its support to an alternative transportation issue, Goldenberg said.
"Wash Cycle supports anything that helps find sustainable solutions for mass transit," she said.
Benner appreciates the nod, writing on his blog: "So pumped that Wash Cycle Laundry is helping out in such a huge way! If only SEPTA took our city's [transporation] needs so seriously."
Although Benner is willing to fork over the fare for a pedicab, he says he would prefer the overnight train service.
"I know it takes time to make this decision," he said. "But it would make a low-cost option available to a lot of people."

Yeah I really hate this class, hate this class, hate this class. Yeah I really hate this class please just shoot me.
By Unknown on Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Filed Under:
We signed Miloh up for a music class that started early winter. It was to the good place in town.
When Staci asked if I was excited I really couldn't answer... I think I said "I guess so."
It's because I hadn't really thought of what the class would be like... but then the night before the class I got a picture of what it would be in my head. It was going to be filled with lots of cool percussion instruments and world music.
I was wrong.
If you've been to a toddler music class you know what they are like. They're completely different from my vision. It was a bright white room that looked like any room. It was stocked with all sorts of instruments but nothing special.
You probably know where this is going... and hopefully could figure that out by the title of the post. I'm not saying the classes are bad for all folks... but it was a super painful for me.
I realized I wasn't going to dig it once we started the activities. Each one would start with a transition song... not sure if that's what you'd call it but that's what I'm going with.
There was a fifty percent said song would be to the tune of London Bridges, a forty-nine percent chance it would be to Good Night Ladies and a one percent chance it would be to another song.
Who am I kidding it would be a straight 50/50 split.
Let's get out the rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks, rhythm sticks. Let's get out the rhythm sticks right now kiddos.or
Bang the drum kids, bang the drum kids, bang the drum kids and dance around right now.I'm not knocking the sticks or the drum... I actually really like the rhythm sticks, we bought a pair for Miloh, and the drum, he has one that he smiled bigger than I've ever seen when he first saw it. I just couldn't stand the activities. Oh... and I'm not a singer. In elementary school when we had to sing in our yearly event I wouldn't even pretend to move my lips. Still to this day I just mumble happy birthday if I'm forced to.
Miloh was on the same page I was with the class. While he liked the instruments he had other things to do... hug every kid in class, steal pacifiers from kids when we got rid of his, stick his hands in the electrical sockets.
That last one sounds more dangerous than it is because the sockets had been child-proof... but he, like most kids, is like a moth to a flame with shiny metal sockets.
Once Miloh started walking, after his third class, it got worse. He just wanted to run around and have fun. The problem is you have some arents in classes like that who don't think kids should be kids. He was having fun, not really disrupting anyone, but he was being judged... let's be honest, we were being judged.
The one thing the class had for it was each section was only about two minutes long. That seems about right for my attention span early on a Saturday morning.
So we dropped the class which is a great lesson for Miloh. If the going gets tough just run away because it's easier.
We enrolled him in one of those gym classes.
It's so much better for him, Staci and me. He can run around all he wants. They want him in circle time but if he's having fun no one cares what he's doing. Plus Staci was a gymnast, I truly apologize that I have no pics available, and I alway s wanted to to gymnastics, but my father didn't want me to because I think he though it would make me gay.
I'd love him to get in to gymnastics. Maybe not professionally because they are really hard on themselves when they mess up. But it can translate into biking and of course snowboarding... and we all know he's going to be a pro who supports us with his crazy huge winnings.
So I don't see any music classes in his future. I can see him playing the drums... although it would kill Staci and me because we both grew up with older siblings who drummed (if that's a word) and the drum kit can get painful after awhile.
And let's pretend this sentence wraps everything up in a nice little package better than that last one did.
The worst thing ever... well, no the worst but not good.
By Unknown on Sunday, February 06, 2011
Filed Under: cast of characters
Like the title says this isn't the worst thing ever. The worst thing would be is something happened to Miloh or Staci or any of our families... except my father.
Also I guess you could say "something happened" could mean something good, like winning the lottery. If you misunderstood that I'd have to say the lottery wouldn't be the worst thing... it would be pretty good... unless it happened to my father. Although if he won the lottery I'd give him a call and say "hey, I've been trying to get ahold of you for years but I lost your phone number."
But here's why I'm coming to the folks on the world wide web asking for some help. We unfortunately need to rehome our dog Kalli and maybe she can find a home from someone here.
This really freaking sucks and not something we're taking lightly so anyone who is even thinking of leaving some dumb ass comment should just go read something else.
Kalli's an amazing dog, so loving, so kind and she's full of spirit. She's the only dog I'd ever want and we are lucky to have her.
And if you haven't seen the video she loved Miloh early on.
The problem is Kalli's not happy in our house now that Miloh is mobile. She gets aggravated and stressed around him. She hasn't bitten and I don't think she ever would. She's not aggressive to people (she does have some food aggression with dogs but that's pretty normal).
Our nanny alerted us earlier this week that there was a problem. Then Thursday when I was hanging at home during the day I saw it too. Total fear in Kalli's eyes.
Miloh's just trying to be a loving kid. A kid who runs to hug her and lay on her. But like a lot of dogs she gets freaked. We make sure he doesn't crawl on her or grab her butt however we've realized that isn't enough. We know that the change of Miloh walking could be a temporary thing that Kalli needs to get used to so we called our trainer to see what she could help us with.
And she came by today. She's an amazing trainer and has a lot of education and experience... and with any luck soon she'll be getting a PHD in something animal related (I think she said animal behavior but that was hours ago and I forgot). What I'm trying to say is she's not just a yahoo that decided to train dogs one day.
She knows Kalli's demeanor and could assess her really well. She saw the fear and stress that Kalli felt.
We learned some great desensitization techniques to get Kalli used to being touched on her butt and stalked by a kid. We talked about how to separate them when we're both not around to watch the situation. Then she talked about Kalli and what is best for her and honestly it's a new home.
We could separate them until Miloh gets it and can learn to give her space. The problem is we're not sure how long that would take. And in that time we could be create more stress or alienation. We'll have to crate Kalli at times even when we're around.
And once Miloh does learn to give Kalli her boundaries Kalli could feel upset about being separated and stressed and therefore act out more.
In the end we asked our trainer to be honest about what we should do with Kalli... and she said that she thinks Kalli would be better in a home without kids... or at least one with older kids.
Like I said earlier we don't take this decision lightly. When we got Kalli we intended to keep her for life. She is part of the family.
Right after Miloh was born Staci made we watch Marley and Me. I had no intention on seeing it but it was on TV so we watched. I balled. That's how I saw Kalli. I knew she'd be best friends with Miloh... I couldn't wait to see it happen.
I'm sure some folks will think we're doing the wrong thing... Staci already got a comment on Facebook. Part of our decision is fear for Miloh's safety... although as I said before I don't think Kalli would hurt her or any person so that's a smaller part of the fear... at least for me.
The reality is we need to do what's best for Kalli. I hated seeing her afraid. I don't want her to feel stressed and unsafe in her house. I want her to have the awesome life that she should have. And I want her to make some other person or family as happy as she makes us.
So if you live near the Twin Cities, or know someone who does, and want a truly amazing dog please email me.
Here are her stats.
The Good:
- We think she's an American Dingo although when we first got her they thought Shepherd/Pharoah hound mix. She's go the look and demeanor of an American Dingo.
- She's six years old and fixed... no baby Kallis to worry about
- She's all up to date on shots and all that stuff
- She's got an AVID chip so if she gets lost she can be found
- She's super sweet
- She loves long walks (possibly on the beach)
- She runs crazy fast so folks at the park will be amazed
- She is a lover... she loves napping with folks
- She's crate trained and can hang in a crate or in a room when alone (she won't tear up the room)
- She loves playing and doing tricks
- She eats poo... a lot of dogs do but it's gross
- She attacks cars... not sure why but they scare her. If she's on a leash you're fine of course.
- She will take off if not on leash... but all dogs should be on leash. She comes back but like I said she attacks cars so really it's scary.
- She does have food aggression... but that just means you shouldn't have her around another dog and food. She could care less if we grab at her food.
Update: I forgot to add that today we also learned that in some cultures people use dogs to lick the poo butts of children. And there is a theory that it could be only of the early reasons dogs were domesticated... mmm.

"This is none of my business," I said aloud to myself in a valiant, noble effort to mind my own business.
But has that ever stopped me? Nope.
"I am not getting into the middle of this mess," I continued.
Do I ever listen to myself in these moments of reprimand? Nope.
"People actually buy books and newspapers for your advice," myself said to myself. "Surely there's benefit in what you have to say, for the opinion you have to offer."
Should that make any difference in whether I speak my mind for free? Whether I offer advice I regard as sterling and sage? Nope.
I picked up the phone and called a friend. I explained my dilemma. A friend, not even a close one, was making a terrible mistake, his brain apparently had gone missing. It was clear he wasn't thinking clearly and if I didn't swoop in to save him, then who would? She listened silently. There were no grunts of support. I got the message. I think.
"This is none of my business. Is it?" I asked as if I needed to ask.
"Nope," she replied, falsely believing that one word could deter me. Perhaps she's optimistic that a time will come that I will bite my tongue and stay out of things that do not pertain to me.
"OK," I said. "I'll talk to you later." I clicked the disconnect button on the cordless phone and replaced it on the charging cradle.
I sat down on the sofa, picked up a book and tried to turn my thoughts to fictional places and events but my mind would not be turned. I have too much of Mama in me. And, like her, as I grow older, my tongue grows looser. Once we ran into a young woman we knew outside in a grocery store parking lot. Mama started to chat her up, hugging her and making over her something fierce.
"Have you got married yet?" she asked, grabbing the girl's left hand and checking her finger. Sweetly, Mama rubbed her bare ring finger and smiled. "No ring yet."
The girl blushed. "No, but me and my boyfriend are livin' together and we're gonna get married one day."
"Uh-oh," I thought to myself, turning my head away with a slight grimace. "This is not gonna be pretty." I shifted my weight from one foot to another and waited for the bomb to explode. The sweet smile faded from Mama's face, her jaw set and her eyes narrowed in a real serious way.
"Oh honey, don't tell me you're livin' in sin," she began in a heavy tone as the girl's face paled and she swallowed hard. Before she could say a word, Mama continued. "Now, let me tell ya somethin' and you listen real careful to me. You have done gone and upset the apple cart. Ain't no boy gonna marry you after you've already up and moved in with him."
I tugged at her sleeve. "Mama, c'mon. We gotta go."
But, nope, there was no stopping her. She was on a roll. "You have gone and done the wrong thing. You don't buy the cow when you're gettin' the milk free."
The girl's face burned bright red. She was a frail, little thing without a lot of education or worldly wisdom. She was no match for Mama.
I tugged harder on her sleeve. "Mama," I said firmly, my anger rising. "This is none of your business."
The girl drew back her shoulders, trying to be bold. "Well, I think he will."
"Well, he won't." Mama tossed her crooked forefinger in her direction. "Mark my words."
That's what Mama always said when she was finished with her predictions.
I thought back to a couple of those conversations. Did it stop me from placing that call that was none of my business?

Kevin Spacey is just about the last person you'd expect to see in a video game — albeit a CGI-version of the Academy-Award winning actor — but he slips into full Frank-Underwood-beast-mode in the new "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare."
While not officially associated with the popular Netflix series "House of Cards," there is no denying the resemblance between Spacey's portrayal of the ruthless, murdering politician, Frank Underwood and Spacey's portrayal of CoD's ruthless, murdering corporate overlord.
The first clip of Spacey in the animated role was officially unveiled on CoD's Instagram account with the actor voice the tagline, "ideas don't determine who's right. Power determines who's right. And I have the power, so I'm right."
Sounds like Frank to me.

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M fans had hoped to showcase a rowdy night atmosphere at Kyle Field for its ballyhooed rematch with Alabama. Instead, the Aggies and Crimson Tide will square off under the Southeast Texas sun in mid-September.
CBS said Wednesday that its first "Game of the Week" this year, featuring the Crimson Tide at Aggies on Sept. 14, will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. – square in the heat of the day in Aggieland. The Aggies, behind eventual Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, toppled Alabama 29-24 last Nov. 10 in Tuscaloosa's Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Aggies, led by new coach Kevin Sumlin, finished 11-2 and earned their first top five finish (fifth) since 1956 under then-coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. The Crimson Tide overcame the upset to finish 13-1 and earn their second consecutive national title and third in four years under coach Nick Saban.

Heroes of the 500 2014
Uncommon valor. How else to describe the instinct that made Masato Toda jump onto the subway tracks to rescue a young girl who had fallen—even as a train sped into the station? How else to capture the heart and guts of a guy like Todd Nelson, a retired U.S. Army master sergeant, who survived a roadside bombing in Afghanistan—and then came home to take on a new mission: helping other veterans get hired?
Uncommon heart. Yup—that would sum up Carmen King, who has arranged sponsorships for orphanages, helped 20 children get needed surgeries, and done much else to change the lives of kids and seniors in Reynosa, Mexico, a town just over the border from McAllen, Texas. No question the term fits Arnold Harvey to a tee. After seeing children sleeping on the streets along his garbage-collection route, the Washington, D.C., truck driver immediately began taking up collections at work. Today the charity Harvey started with his wife distributes food to some 5,000 struggling families each month.
Toda, Nelson, King, Harvey—all of them go to work every day. Indeed, they go to work every day for some of the biggest companies in America. This year, as we put together our Fortune 500 list, assembling reams of statistics on annual sales, profits, and market capitalization, we set out to take another measure of corporate success: Call it employee impact. Or kindness. Or generosity. Or magic. In short, we went looking for Fortune 500 workers who, unknown to even many of their colleagues, have performed remarkable acts of goodness.
And, boy, did we find them. We lit upon heroes in every corner of the corporate world, in every pay grade, and based all over the world. Some on the list below have forever changed the life of one individual or family; some have helped entire communities; still others have touched the lives of strangers never to be met. Of all our discoveries in this investigation, however, this one is particularly striking: Uncommon heroism is far more common in America's giant companies than we knew. That's the measure for which the Fortune 500 should be most proud.

Few nations have as colorful and vivid a history as Russia. At times torn between the East and the West, sometimes buffering the two, Russia has always been a pot of enormous ethnic diversity which refuses to melt. The result has been a mixture of socialism and capitalism, of east and west, Christianity and Islam with a bit of social experimentation thrown in.
This page attempts to capture the flavor of the rich diversity evolving over Russian history and hence depends as much on the endeavors of others as those of the Russian Studies Program. We hope you enjoy your visit and learn more about the origins of the Russians and their neighbors.
A Chronology of Russian History
This chronology of Russian history provides the dates the major events of Russian history from the beginnings of written Russian history (The Tale of By-gone Years) through the current year.
An enormous set of resources on Russian history, history of the former Soviet republics, Russian regions and world history. It includes a large list of history referats and a large number of links to Russian history resources on the Web.
This is a brief extract from the ArcheoBiblioBase information system on archival repositories in the Russian Federation, maintained by Patricia Kennedy Grimsted (the first to teach Russian history at Bucknell) in collaboration with Rosarkhiv, the Federal Archival Service of Russia. All though an extract, it is the most complete listing of repositories on the Web.
This is a moderated discussion group focused on Russian history. Messages from specialists in Russian history are exchanged via e-mail and are archived at this site.
The Russian Dynasties
This page contains the family trees of the two royal families of pre-Revolutionary Russia:
Assembly of the Russian Nobility
The ancient assembly of the Russian nobility is now on-line with news, history, and other information about the royal family. This organization represents the remaining members of the tsarist family living in Russian and about the world.
A fascinating website based on the PBS series written by James Billington, Librarian of Congress and former professor of Russian history at Princeton (author of The Icon and the Axe). This site covers the breadth of Russian history with lavish graphics and cameo texts about bits and pieces of Russian history. It also provides information on how to obtain the 3-part video series.
Мир истории. Российский электронный журнал
A new electronic journal of Russian history on line, including a page of delightful historical anecdotes. The table of contents of the first issue (Windows 1251 font):
- Московское масонство последней четверти XVIII века (В. Пономарева и Л. Хорошилова
- Золото России (В. Сироткин)
- Некоторые новые данные анализа сил и потерь на советско-германском фронте (Г. Кривошеев)
- Золото России (В. Сироткин)
An in-depth, detailed history of the Russian capital by Anton Lagutin and Serge Shokarev, and mounted by Leonid Bezmozgii (a Soros Foundation project). Its 12 chapters currently (July 1999) cover the history of Moscow from the Paleolithic era to the end of the 16th century.
The Khazars were the only nation to convert as a whole to Judaism. They were the neighbors of Kievan Rus' from 650 to 1016. Read about their interesting history here.
Beyond the Pale: The History of Jews in Russia
This exhibition portrays more the history Christian persecution of the Jews in Europe and in Russia than an actual history Judaism in Russia. As the authors say, "above all, the exhibition wants to warn of the great dangers of prejudice and intolerance, particularly in times of political uncertainty and increased social tension." However, it is well-executed and the message is an eternal one that we keep forgetting.
Modern Customs and Ancient Laws in Russia
Six lectures by Maksim Kovalevsky, August 27, 1851-March 23, 1916 covering matrimonial customs, the state of the Russian family at the turn of the century, the Russian village community, old Russian folk mores, old Russian parliaments, personal servitude in Russia.
The History of the Russian Law Codes
Russia has had some of the best constitutions in the world over its history. The earliest law code we know of is the Russkaya Pravda, written under Yaroslav the Wise in the 11th century. In 1497 Ivan III compiled all the laws into the Sudebnik, Russia's next unified legal code. It was followed by the Sobornoe Ulozhenie, completed in 1649 under Alexis Mikhailovich. The full Russian text of the Ulozhenie is available from the Istfak at MGU. In anticipation of the reforms of 1864, Alexander II established a commission which produced The Basic Principles Concerning the Reform of the Judicial Administration of Russia in 1862. Cheri Wilson has written an introduction to her translation. The emperors found it possible to get along without constitutions until the Fundamental Law of 1906 but once the tsars were removed, the Soviets compensated for the years without a constitution with three. Here they are along with the new Russian constitution.
For more information on Russian laws, try the Russian Legal Server.
In 1995 the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria hosted an exhibit entitled Empires Beyond the Great Wall: The Heritage of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan created a legacy of empire-building which made him one of the world's most famous historical figures. He conquered Kiev Rus' in 1240 and his progeny controlled Russia until 1490. The Khan and his little known civilization, the Mongols, also created a culture of splendor, wealth and beauty almost unparalleled to this day. Eric Hildinger has written an article on the invasion of Europe from the European perspective.
The Treasures of the Tsars
This an exhibition of the treasures of the tsars which was mounted in 1995 at the Florida International Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida (guess who her sister-city is). The St. Petersburg Times has been kind enough to maintain the website for the benefit of us all. Take a look at some of the exhibits as well as historical information about the two Russian dynasties, the Ruriks and the Romanovs.
The Stroganoff's played a major role not only in the development of Russian cuisine, but in the development of Siberia. Learn all about them at this beautiful site by Bob Atchison.
In 1722 Peter I introduced obligatory service to the state for all the upper classes. All members of the upper classes had to serve in the army, navy, judicial, or civil service. As an enticement to apply themselves, Peter set up a table of ranks, 14 of them for civil service, fewer for other services. Hereditary nobility was bestowed on all who reached the 8th rank.
A rich Russian language resource of articles on various aspects of Russian history, including the Third Rome, Slavophilism, the Intervention by Ostryalov, Vorobiev, Losev and others. Other topics include philosophy, politics, and history.
An enormous archive of a wide range of archived documents about the Napoleonic invasion by the Virtual Museum of 1812, initiated by Oleg Polyakov. A remarkable resource, indeed, for students and research of Russian history.
Petr IA. Chaadaev and the Rise of Russian Cultural Criticism, 1800-1830
A doctoral dissertation by Gordon Southworth Cook, Jr. that applies the biographical approach to examine the first 35 years of Chaadaev's life. It explores those critical attitudes towards Russian society and culture expressed in much of the literary criticism of the 1820s, in the programs and goals of the secret societies of the Decembrists, and finally in Chaadaev's First Philosophical Letter.
Historical Maps of Russia and East-Central Europe
Federation of East European Family History Societies, which also supplies is with a wealth of genealogical information, now has a remarkable map room with 57 (and growing) 19th-century maps of the Russian Empire and East-Central Europe.
Russian Empire, 1895-1910: Photographs from the Keystone-Mast Collection
900 stereoscopic photographs of Russia in the Keystone-Mast collection of the California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside. This database now provides access to detailed textual descriptions, city maps, images as enlargements, stereoscopic views and significant details useful in architectural analysis.
The History of Russians in Alaska
Russians settled as far south as Fort Ross, now in San Francisco. However, the retreated to Alaska where they continued to trap. Most stayed when Alaska was sold to the US in 1867 and continue their cultural traditions to this day. This is their web site.
The Alexander Palace Time Machine
This smaller palace in Tsarskoe Selo was built by Catherine II for her grandson, Alexander Pavlovich, who, as it turned out, preferred Catherine's own more luxurious Summer Palace. However, Nicholas II and Alexandra enjoyed this palace and spent most of their summers there until the abdication.
The State Hermitage Museum and Broughton International present this exhibition of the last imperial family. Another beautifully designed website by Bob Atchison.
The period of Russian history from 1917 to 1991 has recently been referred to as 'The Period of Socialist Experimentation'. It began with the philosophy of Karl Marx as modified by Vladimir Ilich Lenin. The Communist Manifesto by Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx can be found here. The Marxist Internet Archive is the oldest and deepest on-line resource of Marxism. This site contains old photos, biographies, and an extensive archive of the works of these Marxists.
The Development of the Soviet Union
A large archive of documents from 1917-1919, including documents by Lenin, letters from US ambassadors, bibliographies, sounds, graphics, and the 1918 Constitution. A part of the Marxist Internet Archive.
The Soviet Archives Exhibit
The Library of Congress' exhibit of Soviet memorabilia, including the orders and letters of Lenin, Bukharin, and other Bolshevik leaders. This exhibit contains crucial evidence for assessing the failure of socialism in Russia and understanding the tragedies of Stalinism.
ArcheoBiblioBase: Archives in Russia
This site provides information of all the sources of the ArcheoBiblioBase information system on archival repositories for documents on all aspects of the Russian Federation, maintained by Patricia Kennedy Grimsted in collaboration with Rosarkhiv, the Federal Archival Service of Russia. The documents in these archives may be accessed through Russian Archive for $100-200 per document.
The Cold War
This CNN 16-part special is backed up by an elaborate multimedia website which includes course materials for classroom instructors. The most elaborate treatment of the Cold War since it ended.
A Guide to the History of Russian and Soviet Technology
This guide was established on 1 March 1997 by Slava Gerovitch to provide information resources for historians of Russian and Soviet science and technology worldwide and is rapidly growing. It currently contains links to people, institutes, journals, bibliographies of Russian and Soviet technology. Look under 'People' for the listing of Bucknell's own Andrew Jenks '86.

Thankful for Botox
That would be Granny Freeze, Nicole Kidman. What would her life be without it? Never mind her life… what would her FACE be without it?
Sharon Osbourne would like to know…
Sharon has had every procedure known to plastics. And she was on Chelsea Handler's show recently calling out Gran and every other twat in Hollywood for not being as forthcoming:
"Oh my God! Those liars! I hate them! Those bitches! 'They are like, "I didn't do anything." Meanwhile, their eyebrows are here. Lying bitch!'"
Then she made a point of pointing out Granny's Freeze: "Nicole Kidman's forehead looks like a f-cking flatscreen TV! How big is that forehead?"
How big indeed?
Oh but remember…
Granny says it's all natural. In Marie Claire last year:
"To be honest, I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that."
Would you believe the Gran has fan freaks too?
And that they believe her?
Makes them crazier than the Brange lunatics, non?
Pop Quiz!
Three photos attached – which one's the wax?

Nissan dealerships in both Bakersfield and Stockton already have DCs.
And the two dealerships currently list 18 LEAFs in stock between them, so I would be surprised if they haven't sold hundreds of LEAFs already.
The major problem with DC charge siting in California is that the chargers have been irrationally placed, most of them poorly sited and crowded into the major population centers, rather than being sited along the major highways, where they are most useful.
Compare California DCs to Washington and Oregon, with fewer chargers, but far more functional DC infrastructure:

Bizarre Baby Products
10 Wacky Baby Products to Leave Off Your Registry
10 Wacky Baby Products to Leave Off Your Registry
Tinkle tubes? Potty mitts? Nope, these aren't props from an SNL sketch mocking the absurdity of the baby product industry; they're actual items.
After talking about how exhausting new parenthood is, one of the ideas that's constantly hashed out is the sheer amount of stuff that babies require. Some of that stuff is, of course, nonnegotiable: the baby needs somewhere safe to sleep, diapers, bottles, and clothes. Then there's all of the other stuff. Gear our mothers somehow lived without that we've come to rely on — video monitors, white noise machines, and smartphone apps that can do pretty much anything except nurse the baby. Here's where things get a little weird: amidst the many useful and innovative items introduced every year, there are a handful that range from being totally unnecessary to downright bizarre.
Click through for a selection of baby gear that might leave you scratching your head.

To start the MySQL Cluster Manager agent on a given host running a Linux or
similar operating system, you should run
mcmd, found in the
directory within the manager installation directory on that
host. Typical options used with mcmd are
shown here:
mcmd [--defaults-file | --bootstrap] [--log-file] [--log-level]
See Section 3.1, "mcmd, the MySQL Cluster Manager Agent", for information about additional options that can be used when invoking mcmd from the command line, or in a configuration file.
mcmd normally runs in the foreground. If you
wish, you can use your platform's usual mechanism for
backgrounding a process. On a Linux system, you can do this by
appending an ampersand character (
like this (not including any options that might be required):
shell> ./bin/mcmd &
By default, the agent assumes that the agent configuration file
etc/mcmd.ini, in the MySQL Cluster Manager installation
directory. You can tell the agent to use a different
configuration file by passing the path to this file to the
--defaults-file option, as shown
shell> ./bin/mcmd --defaults-file=/home/mcm/mcm-agent.conf
--bootstrap option causes the
agent to start with default configuration values, create a
default one-machine cluster named
and start it. This option works only if no cluster has yet
created, and is mutually exclusive with the
--defaults-file option. Currently,
any data stored in the default cluster
mycluster is not preserved between cluster
restarts; this is a known issue which we may address in a future
release of MySQL Cluster Manager.
The use of the
--bootstrap option
with mcmd is shown here on a system having
the host name
torsk, where MySQL Cluster Manager has been
installed to
shell> ./mcmd --bootstrap
MySQL Cluster Manager 1.2.4 started
Connect to MySQL Cluster Manager by running "/home/jon/mcm/bin/mcm" -a torsk:1862
Configuring default cluster 'mycluster'...
Starting default cluster 'mycluster'...
Cluster 'mycluster' started successfully
ndb_mgmd torsk:1186
ndbd torsk
ndbd torsk
mysqld torsk:3306
mysqld torsk:3307
ndbapi *
Connect to the database by running "/home/jon/mcm/cluster/bin/mysql" -h torsk -P 3306 -u root
You can then connect to the agent using the mcm client (see Section 3.3, "Starting the MySQL Cluster Manager Client"), and to either of the MySQL Servers running on ports 3306 and 3307 using mysql or another MySQL client application.
--log-file option allows you to
override the default location for the agent log file (normally
mcmd.log, in the MySQL Cluster Manager installation
You can use
--log-level option to
override the
log-level set in the agent
configuration file.
See Section 3.1, "mcmd, the MySQL Cluster Manager Agent", for more information about options that can be used with mcmd.
The MySQL Cluster Manager agent must be started on each host in the MySQL Cluster to be managed.
To stop one or more instances of the MySQL Cluster Manager agent, use the
stop agents command in the
MySQL Cluster Manager client. If the client is unavailable, you can stop each
agent process using the system's standard method for doing
so, such as
^C or kill.
In addition, the agent does not automatically run as a daemon or service on Linux and other Unix-like systems; if an agent process fails, you must either have your own mechanism in place for detecting the failure and restarting the agent process or restart it manually. (This is not true for MySQL Cluster Manager on Windows; see Starting and stopping the MySQL Cluster Manager agent Windows service, for more information.)

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A former University of Virginia lacrosse player has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for the alcohol-fueled beating death of his ex-girlfriend. George W. Huguely V was sentenced Thursday in Charlottesville for the slaying of Yeardley Love, a 22-year-old suburban Baltimore woman who was found face down in her blood-soaked pillow on May 3, 2010.
Authorities said the 24-year-old defendant left his on-again, off-again girlfriend to die after he kicked a hole in her bedroom door and physically confronted her about their sputtering two-year relationship.
Police said he had been drinking heavily that day.
Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire reduced the jury's recommended sentence by three years. The jury found the Chevy Chase, Md., man guilty in February of second-degree murder and grand larceny. The defense sought a 14-year sentence.
"We would like to thank everyone who worked so tirelessly on Yeardley's behalf," Love's family said in a statement after the sentence was announced.
"We find no joy in others' sorry. We plan to work diligently through the One Love Foundation to try and prevent this from happening to another family."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

R&B star Alicia Keys never imagined herself dating Swizz Beatz until she started learning all about his love and appreciation for art and design because the producer was too flashy for her liking.
The conservative "Girl on Fire" hit maker had known Beatz for years before they started dating in 2008 and she insists it really was his mind that she fell in love with.
She tells Wendy Williams, "He's actually kind of a little too ostentatious for my tastes. He likes to wear a T with like, 16 chains and not just a regular car, it has to be the craziest car of all time, so I was like, 'I don't know…'
"I think what happened was he really got me when I saw how far his mind went. He's really, really intelligent and knows so many interesting things. … He taught me about this artist called Erte, I remember that was one of the first things we talked about, who was alive in the '30s and used to draw outfits for the theatre and I had no idea."
The pair wed in 2010 and Keys also credits Beatz with helping to bring her out of her shell in public.
She adds, "He loves to live life; I think he really showed me how to live life in a beautiful way."
