NAACP President and CEO to Join South Carolina NAACP for King Day at the Domeby GDN Shared Post January 13, 2012
Columbia, SC) – NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will join the NAACPSouth Carolina State Conference for the annual "King Day at the Dome" rally Monday, January 16th. The event is held each year at the South Carolina State House to commemorate Dr. King's life, draw attention to economic and educational equalities in the state, and protest the Confederate battle flag flying in front of the State House building.
**President Jealous will hold a Press Availability immediately following the rally.
**The theme for this year's event is "Preserving full citizenship rights for all Americans". Holder's appearance comes just weeks after the U.S. Department of Justice struck down South Carolina's suppressive photo identification law under the Voting Rights Act. The law would have disenfranchised tens of thousands of racial and ethnic minorities, students and disabled voters.
"The photo identification law that passed through the South Carolina State House last year was an affront to the values that Dr. King stood for," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous. "We will march to defend our right to vote and to defend our nation's dream of America as a place where everybody works, everybody contributes, and everybody counts."
Rally Schedule (Monday, January 16th):8:30 am: Prayer Service at Zion Baptist Church (801 Washington Street)10:30 am: March to State House, followed by rally12:30 pm or immediately following rally: Press Availability for President Jealous (location TBD)#Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Most people associate Ireland with the color green: the Emerald Isle, lucky four-leaf clovers, expanses of grass-covered hills where livestock graze.
But in reality, Ireland is awash in gold—its golden Irish whiskeys, so light and delightfully drinkable.
What makes Irish whiskey distinctive is its smooth and gentle character, says Sean Muldoon, the Irish-born founder and general manager of The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog, a New York City tavern noted for its extensive selection of the spirit.
"It doesn't have the peatiness of Scotch, or the rich sweetness you find in Bourbon," he says. "It's easy to drink."
In the glass, Irish whiskeys are fresh, often fruity and grassy, with a restrained hand on the peat, if it's used at all. Yet, they're complex enough to hold a drinker's interest.
No wonder Irish whiskey is finding increasing favor with Americans—and not only at Irish pubs or on St. Patrick's Day, either. The United States is the largest export market for Irish whiskey and, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, it's the -fastest-growing spirit category in the country, with a 23.6% increase in volume in 2011. (Data for 2012 is not yet available.)
Despite its recent surge in popularity, Irish whiskey has a long history, with some experts dating its distillation back to the 12th century. In its early days, Irish whiskey, distilled from a blend of malted and unmalted barley, was widely considered superior to all other European whiskeys.
Queen Elizabeth I was said to favor Irish whiskey. Peter the Great, czar of Russia, wrote, "Of all the wines, the Irish spirit is the best."
Even Scottish distillers would export their wares to Ireland and have it stamped as Irish. It would then be shipped back home and sold for a higher price.
What made those Irish whiskeys so wonderful? Most experts point to the round-bellied copper pot stills that imparted hearty character and full, rich flavor during the distillation process.
Another key distinction continues to be that most Irish whiskeys are distilled three times. By comparison, most Scotches are distilled twice. That third run through the still is what gives Irish whiskey its softer, lighter feel.
Starting in the 1860s, misfortune in other parts of Europe proved to be Ireland's gain.
The arrival of phylloxera devastated vineyards in France, virtually halting production of wine and brandy on the continent. Irish whiskey filled the void, and by 1900, it was the largest-selling spirit in England and had a strong presence in the United States.
The decades that followed saw a downward spiral for Irish whiskey, thanks to an unusual confluence of events. The Irish War of Independence from 1919–1921 created an economic standoff and the loss of the English markets. During the same time frame, Prohibition brought the loss of America as an export market, just when Ireland needed it most.
It seemed like the end for Ireland's native spirit, but there was still some fight left in the Irish.
Threatened with extinction in the early 1900s, the Irish whiskey industry banded together into a single company. Even today, the multitude of Irish whiskey labels are made at just three distilleries: New Midleton, Cooley and Old Bushmills (some include microdistillery Kilbeggan, making the total "three and a half").
Scotland, by comparison, has nearly 100 operational distilleries.
In recent decades, thanks in large part to a strong marketing push by Jameson and revived interest among young consumers, Irish whiskey has resumed its ascent.
Distilleries of the Emerald Isle
Old Bushmills Distillery
Located in Northern Ireland, Old Bushmills is the oldest of the Irish distilleries, tracing its lineage to 1608 (although the distillery was officially registered in 1784). Now owned by Diageo, Bushmills produces complex, fruity single malts and blends, including the rich and flavorful Black Bush.
Many of the aged Irish whiskeys being released now were first created here during the country's Celtic Tiger period of economic expansion—including Bushmills's 21-year-old, the oldest Irish whiskey on the market—so expect an influx of excellent aged offerings.
94 Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey (Ireland; Diageo North America, New York, NY). Rich and flavorful, with caramel notes reminiscent of Bourbon. Light apricot and honey tones come from maturation in oloroso Sherry casks.
abv: 40% Price: $30/1 L
Cooley Distillery
The country's youngest distillery, Cooley is located on Ireland's east coast. A former potato-alcohol plant, Cooley opened in 1989, and until recently was the only independent, Irish-owned distillery in operation (Cooley was sold in 2012 to Beam Inc.).
Unlike many of its Irish brethren, Cooley is noted for double distillation, as the third pass has been said to strip flavor and character from the whiskey. Whether that's true or not, Cooley produces robust, exceptional whiskeys like The Tyrconnell, Connemara and Michael Collins.
94 The Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey Aged 10 Years Finished in Sherry Cask (Ireland; Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Deerfield, IL). One of three cask-finished bottlings, the Sherry version layers bold and lovely dried-fruit and hazelnut tones over the existing warm vanilla 10-year-old whiskey base.
abv: 46% Price: $80
Kilbeggan Distillery
This historic distillery was built in 1757 and shuttered in 1957. As a result, most smooth, blended Kilbeggan currently available for purchase was produced at the Cooley distillery, where it has been made since 1987.
The Kilbeggan distillery resumed production in 2007, and now produces up to 250,000 bottles of whiskey per year. Reportedly, all production of Kilbeggan will eventually shift to this distillery, which is open for tours.
92 Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey (Ireland; Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Deerfield, IL). Golden honey color. The aroma is a pleasing mix of caramel and faint smoke. Bold, oaky flavors, rich feel and beautiful, lingering butterscotch finish with a faint whisper of smoke and just the right amount of bite. Sip over ice.
abv: 40% Price: $20
New Midleton Distillery
Further south in County Cork, this powerhouse, owned by Pernod Ricard, produces several beloved brands, including Jameson, Powers, Midleton and Red Breast. The distillery is situated alongside the Old Midleton Distillery, which ceased operations a few years after the new distillery opened and is now a visitor center. Guests can also tour the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin, but it's purely a museum—no whiskey is made there.
93 Redbreast Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Aged 12 Years (Ireland; Pernod Ricard USA, Purchase, NY). This golden-hued bartender favorite layers lightly smoky notes with jazzy tones of honey, dried fruit, cinnamon and ginger.
abv: 40% Price: $40
Tullamore Dew
While woodsy, citrusy Tullamore is distilled in New Midleton under a license from William Grant & Sons, which owns the brand, that's expected to change soon. Construction of a new Tullamore distillery should be completed in 2014. Meanwhile, visitors can look around the new Tullamore D.E.W. Visitor Centre, located in the Midlands region.
87 Tullamore Dew (Ireland; William Grant & Sons, New York, NY). Yellow-gold, with a vanilla aroma and flavor and soft, light feel. Versatile, but best with some dilution and sweetness, like with ginger ale or in a cocktail with vermouth.
abv: 40% Price: $24
Mixing It Up: Irish Whiskey Cocktails
You won't find many whiskey-based cocktails in Ireland, but Americans are making fine use of the spirit for mixed drinks, as most selections are reasonably priced and blend well with other flavors.
One drink in particular is conspicuously missing from the group below: the notorious Irish coffee. Why? At many bars, Muldoon says, "Irish coffees are made with Bourbon." Ouch! Try one of these spirited libations instead.
Derry Derby
Recipe courtesy Phil Mauro, bartender at Rye, San Francisco

Now that the Game of Thrones is finally played out, how will you fill your time?
You could watch some of the best fantasy and action TV shows already available, or you could go back to George R.R. Martin's novels when he gets round to completing the Song of Ice and Fire series that inspired HBO's smash hit. But then what?
Luckily there's no shortage of epic fantasy, sci-fi and thriller books being adapted into movies and TV shows in the coming months and years. From beloved classics to contemporary best-sellers, these are some of the adaptations that will challenge Game of Thrones' crown to become your new obsession.
The cult 1984 movie and 2000 miniseries have their fans, but in November 2020 we're being treated to a new big-screen version of Frank Herbert's classic novel. In the far future of humanity, Duke Leto Atreides and his son Paul battle over life-giving spice with the venal Baron Harkonnen on the desert world of Arrakis. After reimagining Blade Runner 2049, acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve takes on another sci-fi classic with the help of a galaxy of stars: Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Jason Momoa and Javier Bardem are among those involved.
Isaac Asimov's seminal Foundation series is coming to Apple's streaming service, Apple TV Plus. Beginning as a series of short stories in 1942, the Foundation books make up a vast, dense sci-fi saga about scientists trying to stave off an oncoming dark age. The 10-episode series is being developed by Josh Friedman, the man behind the Terminator TV series, and David Goyer, co-writer of the Dark Knight movies.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley's scathing 1932 dystopian novel will be adapted into a series on NBC's Peacock streaming service. It stars the young Han Solo, Alden Ehrenreich, as a man out of time in a genetically manipulated society. Demi Moore also appears. Homecoming creator David Wiener is in charge, joined by legendary comics weirdo Grant Morrison.
Who Fears Death
Game of Thrones fans will be interested to know George R.R. Martin is an executive producer on HBO's show based on the 2015 novel by Nnedi Okorafor. The post-apocalyptic afrofuturist story follows young Onyesonwu on a quest to find her father -- a sorceror who raped her mother. It's being adapted by Twilight Zone writer Selwn Seyfu Hinds.
Good Omens
David Tennant and Michael Sheen are perfectly cast as a demon and an angel throwing a wrench in the works of the apocalypse in Good Omens on Amazon. The miniseries is based on the devilishly funny 1990 novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman about the delightful shenanigans that ensue when the antichrist accidentally grows up with the wrong family. While many others on this list are still in development, Good Omens is available on Amazon Prime Video now.
Lord of the Rings
Amazon paid a quarter of a billion dollars for the rights to a new TV show based on JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings stories, because who hasn't looked at Peter Jackson's movie series and thought, yeah it's OK but it could be longer. Rumors suggest Amazon Video's series could be set in the distant history of Middle-earth, years before the events of The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. We'll find out in 2021.
The runaway success of Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One guaranteed his next book, Armada, was bought by Universal Pictures before it was even published. The book follows high school student Zack Lightman as he suspects his favorite online game is a sophisticated simulator training him to face a very real alien invasion.
It was adapted by the BBC in 2000, but this time Neil Gaiman and Akiva Goldsman are involved in a new adaptation of the baroque novels by Mervyn Peake. Murder and betrayal ensue as the rightful heir Titus Groan to Castle Gormenghast challenges the scheming Steerpike.
His Dark Materials
Forget the underwhelming 2007 movie version of The Golden Compass. This planned BBC adaptation is a TV show, which should give the space and depth for a satisfying take on Philip Pullman's novels Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. Steered by some of the producers behind Doctor Who, the story follows young Lyra in an adventure spanning twisted parallel versions of our reality. Logan's Dafne Keen stars as Lyra with James McAvoy and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
2019 movies to geek out overSee all photos
The Kingkiller Chronicle
Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and cult director Sam Raimi are reportedly overseeing TV and movie adaptations of this recent series by author Patrick Rothfuss. First released in 2007, The Name of the Wind and sequel The Wise Man's Fear recount the memoirs of musician and magician Kvothe. Like Game of Thrones, the final book, called The Doors of Stone, has yet to be published.
Consider Phlebas
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos gave a personal stamp of approval to the announcement that Amazon's streaming service is adapting Iain M. Banks' 1987 novel, the first in the Culture series. These weighty space opera stories are set in a utopian society in which civilizations awkwardly co-exist with each other and with artificial intelligence, while spaceships have names like "Prosthetic Conscience" and "No More Mr Nice Guy."
Game of Thrones prequel
OK, so maybe nothing can replace Game of Thrones. If only Westeros will do, HBO has you covered with a planned Game of Thrones prequel series set centuries before the hit show.

The life is full of stress and this is not a story of single person or bunch of people, but nearly everyone feels the same. The fast lifestyle has so many negative effects on our life and that puts us at greater risk of developing mental and physical conditions. The steps need to be taken for prevention and the best thing that you can do is the yoga. All you need to do is to find a reputed Yoga class in Melbourne and start learning.
Yoga is great thing as it gives so many benefits to our body and mind. It gives strength to each and every muscles of the body and it gives peace to the mind. The best time for doing yoga is early morning. So, during the initial period you may find it difficult, but once the habit is developed, you just enjoy doing it.
Before you get yourself enrolled in the classes, you need to ensure that the teacher has good experience in teaching. You can visit there personally or you can learn about it by going through the website. Anyone can do yoga, but it is important to do in a right way and that is why learning from a good teacher is always beneficial.

Operator Q&A
TapSnap founder is smiling over reinvented photo booth
Anyone can take a selfie, but who will take your photo when you find yourself 'in a zombie situation'? TapSnap handled that one for a client. Founder Scott McInnes tells how he's re-imagining an old business.
FT: You call TapSnap a photo entertainment franchise. Aren't photo booths obsolete?
Scott McInnes, founder of TapSnap, insists his version of the photo booth is not a dinosaur.
Scott McInnes: What we've done is sort of a reinvention of the traditional photo booth. Our company has done a lot of technology-based business opportunities over the years, and most recently we had a DVD kiosk rental company called DVD Now, sort of a version of Redbox.
We had a couple of DVD Now kiosk owners that were in the photo booth business, and we learned there was a lot of money being made but the equipment being used was pretty out-of-date. It wasn't taking advantage of being able to share over social media. We saw an opportunity to make a machine that was more fun to use, more suitable for a wider variety of events, and then had the up-to-date ways to share photos.
Originally we were doing something that's a competitor to traditional photo booths, but now we've found that we can get the business from weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, but also we can get corporate clients, multi-day, multi-machine events. That's been pleasantly received.
FT: Describe one of your big corporate events.
McInnes: We did three or four auto shows for Hyundai. They're a sponsor of The Walking Dead TV show. They had a zombie presence, starting at the Chicago show, so the booth was entirely zombie-themed. So they wanted us to take photos and then use a green screen background and insert on a zombie-themed background. You can still have the physical props, but ours is much heavier on the digital props. In this case we had the people hold digital chainsaws, rifles, the kind of things you'd use if you found yourself in a zombie situation.
FT: Which most of us do, regularly! What else?
McInnes: We did the premier of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire sequel. They did a pre-release of the movie in 24 cities around the U.S., so the people are standing in front of a green screen, and then the photos are taken, and it looks like they're standing in a Hunger Games scene with the Subway logo. We were hired by Lionsgate Studios to do this and they wanted to get their photos pushed to Facebook, so we handle all that for the client.
FT: What kind of revenue do corporate events bring in?
McInnes: The largest corporate event we did was about $50,000. But it certainly is not unusual to get corporate events for $20,000. And it could be multiple cities. We did the final four tournament, March Madness, we were working for a client in 12 cities.
Oftentimes the initial contact will be through a franchisee. So the franchisee in Michigan was the one who introduced the Hunger Games opportunity to us. After that they call us at corporate and say what the client wants to do and hand it over to us. We handle the coordination and billing, and then the franchisee will get a commission.
FT: What made you choose this business to develop?
McInnes: At first I wasn't too excited about it. We found out our existing customers were in the business and we found out they were actually doing pretty well with it. But we also found out what they didn't like about it. The equipment was difficult to transport, and it wasn't technologically advanced. The idea evolved and we saw an opportunity to do a re-imagining of a photo booth, using a better quality camera and speaking with customers and what they did and didn't like.
FT: And what did they and didn't they like?
Jamie Izaks, left, of AllPoints PR and a colleague pose in a TapSnap zombie scene.
McInnes: Things like the inability to take a group photo. People would complain about the cleanliness of the business. We just thought there's got to be a better way to do it. And one of our owners said, we could do so many more events if it wasn't so difficult to move the machine around.
It's really a one-person set up. The unit splits in two so there's a base and the top unit, so the base is 60 pounds and the top is 100.
FT: How do you make the booths?
McInnes: The company that planted the photo booth seed, they're a custom kiosk manufacturer in Southern California. We worked with them 10 years ago on a couple of different projects. They did a thousand machines for the British lottery in Vancouver, for example, where TapSnap is based. We relied on them to lead the way on the hardware side of it. We did all the software side ourselves.
I've been in the kiosk business since 1999, dong a variety of projects. The biggest one we've done is DVD Now, where we've deployed 4,000 DVD rental kiosks over the past years.
FT: There's another business that I thought was obsolete, renting DVDs.
McInnes: Believe it or not there are still a lot of people that do rent movies. Regular video stores have gone away; it used to be a trip to the video store was a special trip. Most people think that Blockbuster video disappeared because of Netflix and iTunes, but really even before those services existed Redbox took giant chunks out of their business. You've got to get groceries, and you can pull in to the grocery store and rent from Redbox for a dollar.
DVDs would have ceased to exist many years ago if it weren't for kiosks, but certainly that business is approaching the end of its life. The people still in the business are doing really well, but we're putting our efforts into TapSnap now.
Our latest adaptation, Snapcast, allows us to broadcast what's going on at an event to remote screens all over the world. So let's say we're doing an event for your company. You'd tell us that hashtag in advance, and then we'd start pulling in all the tweets and photos and blog posts and then display it on screens all over the event.
FT: Why do people need a photo booth when everyone takes their own selfies?
McInnes: I think it could be because there's so many selfies, there's nothing special about them any more. It's a much different experience, to use TapSnap. You see people come out of their shells. You can do digital effects, you can make pictures that are funny. You can write a personal message to the bride and groom.

The following pictures are a before and after shot of our library in our new house. It is amazing what a little paint can do.
I love having a library in our house. The built in book shelves where a very nice feature! When I post next, I show another before and after shot, as well as one of my newly inherited treasures. (The horse drawing on the wall in my library was drawn by my very talented sister in law who has an Etsy store called Pintogirl. She plans to stock her store with her artwork as well as western wear that she designs and creates.

Marble Countertops Page
Marble countertops offer a captivating beauty that only nature can provide. And it's the very reason why many of our customers choose this gorgeous stone for their countertop installation. Marble is a great product to use in various ares of the home.
If you're looking for an upgrade for your kitchen or bathroom countertop, then you should definitely consider marble. The marble slabs we have available at Silver Marble & Granite are of the highest quality.
Contact us today to learn more about our marble stone and to get a free quote.
Why Choose Marble Countertops
There's a very good reason why marble stone is in high demand for countertop installations. For one, it has an elegant look that instantly boosts the design of any bathroom or kitchen they're placed in. The color options, veining patterns and colors, and the edge profiles all make marble a desirable choice.
Some of the options you can select from include black, yellow, rose, green, white, and gray. Each marble slab is unique, which means no one else in this world has a countertop that looks exactly like yours.
Besides the natural beauty of marble, it's also important to note that it's also fairly resistant to heat. You can use it in the kitchen for hot pots and pans. Or even in the bathroom with your hot curlers and flat irons. It's also the reason why it's commonly used as a fireplace surround.
You won't have to worry about this stone yellowing from exposure to heat. The coolness of the surface also makes it ideal for rolling dough for bread and cookies.
Marble Countertop Maintenance
Once you're beautiful marble countertops are installed, it's up to you to maintain them. Thankfully, it doesn't take too much to keep their resilience. For starters, it's a good idea to have the surface professionally sealed.
Since marble is a natural substance, it contains pores, which makes it susceptible to scratches and stains. Sealing it will help prevent this and extend its lifespan. You can choose the type of finish you want, such as honed or polished.
In the event you do get a stain on a polished surface, it's best to consult with a professional to avoid damage. You should never use abrasives, such as scouring pads and harsh chemicals, on marble. However, if you have a honed surface and need to get rid of etching, you can typically remove it using Comet paste and Scotch-Brite pads.
As for daily maintenance, all you have to do is wipe it down with a mild detergent and warm water. It's best to use a damp cloth instead of a scrubbing pad.
Add Functionality with Marble Countertops
At the end of the day, installing marble countertops into your kitchen and bathroom will amplify functionality. You're able to do what you need to do in these areas without worry.
Between the function and maintenance, owning marble countertops is fairly easy.
Areas We Service
If you're interested in getting marble countertops installed into your home, then contact us today. We service various areas in Washington DC metro area and Northern Virginia. Some of the cities we cater to includes Alexandria, Fairfax, and Arlington.
If you're in or around these communities, then we can assist you with the fabrication and installation of your marble countertops.

Penny Press
Penny presses were large in the 1800s, known for their tabloid feel and low cost. Literally costing one penny, they became famous after mass producing print publications became more inexpensive and accessible for companies. With these new publications, the lower classes were newly introduced to the latest information unlike before.
The spark of the new penny presses began a new revolution in the world of journalism. The whole content and structure began to completely change, allowing new material to be released more quickly and efficiently. Penny presses began to allow news to reach larger and wider audiences, expanding publication size and influences.

In the previous posts we discussed the evolution of Key, its structure and the ways to work with keys. Now it's time to answer the question: where keys come from? But first, let's see scenarios where we do need new keys.
As you know, Entity instance is uniquely identified by key and Entity.Key property is immutable during whole Entity's lifecycle. The only moment when Entity.Key property can be set is the moment of Entity construction. There are two scenarios and DataObjects.Net v4 supports both of them:
1. Values of identity fields are provided by outer code (not ORM but application is responsible for this). In this scenario user code is responsible for passing identity values directly to Entity constructor where these values are automatically transformed into key.
// Use this constructor for types with explicitly set identity values protected Entity(params object[] values) Example: [HierarchyRoot] public class Book : Entity { [Field, Key] public string ISBN { get; private set; } // Accepts identity value (ISBN) and passes it to the base Entity constructor public Book(string isbn) : base(isbn) { } }
2. Values of identity fields are provided by ORM (or with the help of ORM). This scenario might involve usage of database identity generators, tables with auto-increment column as well as any custom identity generators, e.g. Guid generator in order to get identity values for an Entity and build its key.
// Use this constructor for types with auto-generated identity values protected Entity() Example: [HierarchyRoot] public class Book : Entity { [Field, Key] public int Id { get; private set; } // Nothing to be done here as base empty Entity constructor will be called automatically public Book() { } }
While the first scenario is clear and doesn't need any ORM participation at all (except creating key from values passed to constructor), the second one is not so clear because it requires ORM to know how to obtain the next unique identity values for the specified persistent type. To solve this task the concept of key providers was introduced in DataObjects.Net v4. KeyProviderInfo is a type from Domain model which contains all necessary information concerning generation of unique keys for particular persistent type(s), including:
- type of identity generator implementation;
- structure of key (key columns and descriptor of tuple);
- size of key cache, if generator supports caching;
- mapping name, if generator is mapped to a particular database entity;
- etc.
DataObjects.Net v4 contains several key generator implementations both for In-Memory & SQL storages out of the box. They are called default key generators. They support caching and can be used for persistent types with exactly one identity field. This means that for persistent types with complex key (more than one identity field) custom key generator must be provided by user. In order to increase key generator performance and to simplify persistent interfaces support we made the following architectural decision:
We try to share single instance of every key generator type between all hierarchies it can serve.
All hierarchies which have identical key structure and identical key generator type, e.g. typeof(MyKeyGenerator), are served by the same instance of MyKeyGenerator. In other words, we create only one instance of each key generator type, registered in Domain. For example:
[HierarchyRoot] public class Book : Entity { [Field, Key] public int Id { get; private set; } public Book() { } } [HierarchyRoot] public class Author : Entity { [Field, Key] public int Id { get; private set; } public Author() { } }
Here we have 2 hierarchies with default key generator (default key generator is used unless custom key generator is explicitly defined via KeyGeneratorAttribute). As both hierarchies have identical key structure (one field type of int) and the same type of key generator – default key generator, then only 1 key generator (Int32-Generator actually) will be created and it will serve both hierarchies at once. This means that sequence of Book identifiers as well as sequence Author identifiers won't be strictly sequential. Say, one can get 1,2,3,6 for Book identifiers and 4,5,7,8,9 for Author identifiers. Nevertheless, all keys produced by this key generator are unique and can be used in any number of hierarchies which can be served by this key generator type without any restrictions.
The only one "negative effect" of this scheme is the presence of gaps in identifier sequence for concrete persistent type. But does it matter? Such gaps are common as objects don't live forever, sometimes they are removed.
In the next post I'll tell you about complex keys and custom key generators and their future.

The other day, I was talking to a friend. She is building her own company from scratch and things aren't looking too good. She is toiling away day and night to fix issues as and when they crop up. She has the support of a few trusted colleagues. Together, they are trying to turn their dreams into reality. As time passes by, things look even more bleak. They dodn't know what they are doing wrong, they've tried everything (Yes ! Everything they possibly could).
My first instinct is to motivate my friend by saying something positive. Something along these lines :
"Making mistakes means that you're trying" &
"If you don't give up on getting there then you are not on the wrong road."
But I don't. It sounds cliched to my own ears and I am pretty sure she's heard it all before. Many people must have tried to "help" her before me by saying :
"Don't give up" ,
"Try, try and try again until you succeed"
"Rome wasn't built in a day" or
"Success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration."
She must have been given countless pep talks, read all the positive quotes there are and then some. She is passionate, inspired and very meticulous with her plans. She sets time-bound goals and makes sure she achieves them. She doesn't need anybody
to tell her to work harder, she already is ! The problem is that it isn't working !
Haven't we all been in a situation where no matter how hard we tried, no matter how much we sacrificed or how much energy we spent to achieve something, we still didn't ?
We gave it our best, but apparently our best wasn't good enough !
Does the fact that we didn't triumph necessarily mean that we were half-hearted ? Does it point to the fact that we could have done something "more"?
Is it possible that the real reason was an external factor
beyond our control or sheer luck ? This makes me wonder, are there times WHEN WORK SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK ?
Times when the amount of our efforts are irrelevant ?
Times when the situation is not in our control ?
Times when our success is dependent on a host of factors, often not in our hands ?
Perhaps there are. Maybe when someone fails, we shouldn't jump to the conclusion that their efforts were lacking. Maybe we should try to understand their situation first and then decide whether our "help" is actually helpful ! We should be open-minded about there being unforseeable circumstances or hurdles that simply cannot be overcome.
Perhaps there are also instances where failure is not so bad. Maybe failure is a harsh word that seeks to diminish our efforts. Maybe it isn't failure at all ! Maybe when our carefully laid-out plans fall through despite our best efforts, we should stop blaming ourselves. Maybe we should grow and learn from the experience and walk along one step at a time – always moving forward. After all, don't they always say :
"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."

There are a few camera models that I consider before I brought this camera:
1. Canon EOS 450D - have the extra of what 1000D don't have. By the way, what so special of having extra 0.5 inch of LCD screen, extra two focus points & extra two megapixels of resolution where as I can save RM1000 for that. I would think the 2.5 inch screen is sufficient to view the picture taken and may prolong the battery life if using the LIVEVIEW feature.
2. Canon Powershot G10 - More expensive that Canon EOS 1000D. Great features and performance but the picture quality still don't beat Canon 1000D. Able to capture macro photo from 1 cm distance from the object!
3. Canon Powershot SX10 IS - Great optical zoom at 24X. It will cost a bomb to have that range of zoom in DSLR but again the image quality fall short. It is as big as DSLR and weight almost like DSLR but for extra RM200, I can get REAL DSLR.
4. Nikon 60D - Good in capturing landscape and not comparable to Canon in low light area. Heard about poor after sales support.
5. Nikon 80D - Over budget.
6. Sony Alpha 200 - Really cheap (around RM1600) but picture quality is not good (many bad reviews on the net) and the lens selection is limited. Plus the body is too plastic and it is made in China. Uses CF memory cards.
7. Olympus E-420 - Cheap but Olympus makes the biggest mistake by only supporting their own x-D memory cards. Its hard to download the pictures into PC as most PC still don't support that kind of cards and I would think this type of card is more expensive as it is produced by Olympus.
Why I choose Canon 1000D?
-Great picture quality compared to other brands of the same value/class. Great after sales support when compared to Nikon.
-Many good lenses to choose from. Famous for their high end quality L lenses. The most notable is the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS.
-Attended many press conference and majority of journalist holds canon DSLR.
-Received good reviews after I survey it from a few websites.
-Support SD and new SDHC cards.
-Suits my budget level. I brought it for RM1999 with 4GB SDHC & Bag.
-They produced many EFS budget level lens which the quality is good and with image stablizer.
-10.2 megapixels.
-comes with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens kit.
-Can shoot in full auto and creative modes.
-Burst mode.
-Self cleaning sensor unit.
-Support SDHC cards.
My review:
-Good performance. I took most of my Penang trip photos in a van and the quality is still good even in shaky condition.
-Colour is vibrant.
-Low noise level.
-Easy to use and light weight in its class.
-Good food photos.
Canon 1000D.

All I Want for Christmas Are a "Pupy" and an "Axx"
Today in church Julio (6 1/2 yrs) got an early start on his Christmas list.
- red life saver (red lightsaber)
- game cyoob (Game Cube)
- L. starwars (Star Wars Legos)
- Darth Vater masc
- world cup ball
- bigest Hot wheels Trac
- A reel blue life saver (Julio told Guapo the red "life saver" could be fake, but that the blue one had to be real)
- Foot ball
- magec poshen (magic potion (in his own words to Guapo), "to turn you into a rabbit when you are being mean")
- pupy (puppy)
- axx
Just in case you are wondering about the last one (especially in conjunction with with #11), in school right now Julio's class is studying "Helpers in the Community." The kids have a "job fair" on Friday where they have to dress up as a certain profession and bring any tools that person may need. Julio is going as a fireman and therefore, is quite obsessed with getting himself an ax these days.

Back in the Saddle Again
After more than two months in Brazil, today was the first time I got behind the wheel of a car.
Have I mentioned I have a driver?
(No, that's not really my driver; my driver is a cute little Brazilian man. He doesn't were a chauffeur's hat or any special chauffeur clothing.)
I know, pretty weird. I'm not really a chauffeur kind of gal.
For me driving = freedom. But, oddly enough, I quite like having the driver take me hither and thither. I don't have to worry myself about such things as extremely limited parking and very aggressive bus drivers. He helps me grocery shop (or takes the maid to grocery shop), shuttles the kids to and from school so they don't have to be inundated with bad words on the bus, lets me practice my sorry Portuguese on him, runs errands for me, and is ALWAYS in a good mood.
I always joke with Guapo that a good driver is better than a husband because:
- He is almost never late.
- If he is going to arrive late, he always calls.
- He doesn't mind when I chat with friends at the end of functions.
- He opens the car door for me.
- He would never dream of letting me carry anything that weighs over 10 lbs.
- When I ask him to do crappy little extra jobs he just smiles at me and says, "Of course, Gabriella!" like I've just made his day.
- He never complains (at least not out loud) about my "demands".
It does have a few drawbacks though; first there's the whole freedom issue but I'm pretty much over that for now. Then, although it is my car, it doesn't really feel like it. This guy has been driving the gringo wives around for 11 years, the last 5 of which have been in my very same car. So, I don't really feel comfortable leaving apple cores and half-empty water bottles rolling around the floor of the car. And, he currently controls the radio and the temperature. I could, but I just feel too weird reaching out and changing something he's turned on.
Anyway. Today he had other company business to attend to so I was forced to drive myself to the school to pick up the kids. I felt paralyzed; it was as if I was 15 again and was contemplating taking my parents car out for a joyride (don't worry mom, I never actually did this). Um, hello! I've been driving now for close to 20 years, 6 of which were in bigger, scarier cities than this. You'd think I could handle a 15 minute drive (that I have made with the driver at least 60 times) without breaking a sweat.
Still, it is the very first drive in a new, big, foreign city that is the most nerve-racking. Normally when we get to a new place, we go out the first weekend and Guapo and I take turns driving around, getting the lay of the land. Somehow I just never did it here. So I had to make the maiden voyage all by myself today.
It all turned out fine. I made it to and from the school with no incidents. :) But, I am happy to know that tomorrow, when I go down to the garage, my smiling, happy driver will be awaiting us.

My Big Boys
This blog for me is similar to Dumbledore's pensieve, I use it to store my memories (not a Harry Potter fan? what's wrong with you?). Every now and then, I feel sad that I can't remember exactly what it was like when Margarita and Julio were under feet. So, with that said here are two quick memories I want to keep:
Julio (6 years old):
The move from Mexico to Brazil has been kindest to Julio; he is so happy here. In Mexico every morning I had to wake him up and dress him most days, usually while he was still laying in bed with his eyes closed.
Things are significantly different here in Brazil. He now has afterschool activities-basketball twice a week and soccer twice a week. Because of these beloved activities:
1) I no longer have to wake him up-today he got up at 5:30 (an hour earlier than he needs to),
2) I don't have to dress him either; here's how he went to bed last night:
Juan Carlos (4 years old)
This kid is in a sweetheart phase. He is very into his daily routines. Each day when I take him to school, as I am leaving, he gives me a big kiss on the cheek and wraps his little skinny arms around my neck and squeezes as hard as he can. Then , as I walk off of the school grounds, even though he is now surrounded by his little friends, he will look over his shoulder and yell, "Mommy, I love you!!!"
It melts my heart.

My first three kids started eating solids around 4 months; rice cereal first, then some fruits, then some oatmeal cereal, then some veggies, and finally meat. That's what you used to do.
Thanks to the recent epidemic of food allergies, sometime since Juan Carlos was born 4 years ago, they have upped the age from 4 to 6 months due to the belief that feeding them earlier than 6 months can lead to said food allergies. I am a little bit lazy, so I thought that sounded fine-it's easier just to breastfeed than try to feed a little baby 3 times a day and try to keep 3 other kids under control.
But, come to fine out, Pedro is not the world's best sleeper. So around 4 months 3 weeks I started daydreaming about sleeping more than 4 hours in a row and suddenly the rice cereal came to mind.
First three kids + cereal = sleep
Pedro - cereal = Allergy free Pedro +"good mommy" - sleep (which doesn't really make me a good mommy at all because I am such a grouch without adequate sleep)
In my sleep deprived state, the answer seemed clear:
Pedro + cereal = "allergy inducing bad mommy" + sleep (I could deal with the allergy guilt on a good night's rest)
Here he is at 4 months 3 weeks.
He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it either.
Sadly enough, it didn't help the sleeping situation.
So, I went back to being a "good mommy" -no more cereal, just breast milk.
Last week he hit the magical 6 month mark. I was ready-they have super produce here and I am planning on making all of Pedro's food-no jars for this kid! I even bought a couple of recipe books in the States this summer on how to make the best baby purees.
Before the big day I prepared for him a lovely apple/pear/cinnamon puree, a carrot puree and a squash puree; all which can be frozen in ice cube trays for a fresh, wholesome meal anytime.
The kid won't eat.
I started with cereal. Nope.
Moved on to squash. Hated it.
Then I thought "well, maybe he would like something sweet" and I gave him the apple/pear combo. Whole-heartedly rejected it.
And when I say he won't eat, I am not talking about pursing his lips and spitting out his food. I am talking about dry heaving that leads to throwing up.
Here's some photos from tonight's attempt:
(Yes, I am aware that the kid needs a bib-they are coming in our shipment. I don't want to buy one here-they seriously cost like $25.00)

Guapo Delivers the Goods
Gaupo got home last Thursday and it was as good as I imagined it would be.
Here're the highlights of my spoils:
We again have peanut butter in the house (specifically creamy Jiff):
10 pounds Brown Sugar: they have sugar that is brown here, it's just not soft and yummy like American brown sugar.
15 boxes of assorted Ziploc Bags: you can get these babies here, but they'll cost you $0.50-0.75 PER BAG.
Of course we had to stock up on chocolate chips (5 bags):
3 large Maple Syrups: a bottle this size would set you back at least $15.00 here.
My one, and only, pair of shoes (I knew Guapo was going to see all of my purchases so unfortunately, I had to behave):
864 Wipes: the wipes here are fantastic if you want to just move the poop around, but if you actually want to remove the poop from your baby's bottom, it's best to import. And look, these wipes will make Pedro calm.
And last but certainly not least-a new stroller for Pedro. He'll be cruising the streets in style now!
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to have some peanut-butter toast and a handful of chocolate chips!

City Brief - Lao Cai, Vietnam
Authors: Institute for Social and Environmental Transition-International (ISET-International); Thailand Environment Institute (TEI); Vietnam National Institute for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Studies (NISTPASS)
Lao Cai is an emerging city along the Chinese border in northern Vietnam. Historically a small mountain town that was home to many different ethnic groups, economic development in Vietnam and China and increased prospects for trade and travel between the two countries has raised the profile of this city as a prominent trading post. New mining activity in the mountains surrounding Lao Cai has further spurred economic development in and around the city. As a result, urbanization, including new roads, new industry, and new housing is occurring rapidly and the city is quickly expanding into traditionally agricultural lands. This growth has led to an increase in vulnerability to a range of climate conditions such as floods and droughts, impacts that will be further exacerbated by climate change. Changes in living conditions and livelihoods are also contributing to the challenges faced by the city's most poor and vulnerable. As Lao Cai expects further growth in the near future, it has been working with the Mekong – Building Climate Resilience in Asian Cities (M-BRACE) initiative to better understand the impacts of urbanization and climate change and chart a path towards more resilient development.

1. "We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves." Francois de La Rochefoucauld
2. Giving without Resentment: We may think that we are being generous to others, but when we resent them for not responding to us in kind, we need to question our own motives. Did we give unconditionally or did we give to get something back? Did we feel good in giving or did we feel that we were making a sacrifice? Only our honesty here can tell us whether or not our gift was genuine. If it was, we won't resent it. If we resent it, chances are the gift was not given freely. ~ Paul Ferrini
3. We can appreciate people who stimulate our creativity and make us think on a deeper level.
4. Your teachers will meet you wherever you think you are and set the bar a reachable distance above that point. More often than not your greatest teacher is your daily life. The lesson that is before you now is one that you are ready and able to learn. Don't mess it up or you will just have to take another shot at it later. Thanks Benny

The holidays are always a crazy time for everyone. I, personally, am booked solid into the new year. Wonder what it's like? Choose any of numerous cliches- "Burning the candle from both ends", "No rest for the wicked", etc. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if I just have too many friends. Too many friends you ask? Can that be possible? Well let's start with yesterday and you can see what I mean….
tuesday- work in the morning- early afternoon, some Christmas shopping, out to the bars for my friend's birthday til 3 am
wednesday- up after five hours of sleep, work 14 hours, come home and write this blog before finally crashing
thursday- another all day double
friday- Disney world for the first time in four years all day, christmas/friend's birthday party number 1
saturday- make brownines for one party, friend's graduation party an hour south, friend's bridal shower an hour north, friend's festivus party back in town, another friend's holiday/birthday party
sunday- one friends birthday celebration at busch gardens, work til close, another friends' holiday party
monday- work a double, then over the bridge for movies and frozen chocolate bananas with a friend from out of town
and then comes going home for christmas, trying to celebrate my quarter-of-a-century birthday (curse my inconvenient birth!), and working doubles every other day including new years eve and new years day!
And somewhere in there I have to do laundry, walk my dog a bagillion times a day, eat, maybe sleep, and possibly shower. But yeah, I do it to myself. At least i can't say my life is boring!
"I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

Chancellor of the not-only-English Exchequer George Osbourne has suffered a severe bout of whiplash, courtesy of his considerably hard neck.
It is believed it ocurred when insisting that an Independent Scotland would not be allowed to use the Pound, as it is his.
The chancer Chancellor of the chequered Exchequer was showing typically hard neck symptoms of massive presumption and scurrellous fearmongering whilst laying down the law to subservient Scotland. He is believed to be on a brandy drip recovering.
In what has been tentatively described as a potentially 'interesting' moment, given that Alistair Darling is involved, the Yes and No campaigns are now running neck and hard neck.
In a speech in Edinburgh where Osbourne looked as comfortable as a horse on a swing he assumed ownership of the Pound and insisted Scotland would not be entitled to enter into a currency share of Sterling.
Pro-Independece Voter and bad speller Malky McPherson was not impressed, "Eh? That Osbourne ay, what rights he got to say that. I mean the currency's even named after ane of oor cities, what does that tell yi?!"
"George Osbourne? Your better aff wee Joan Osbourne", he continued, singing, badly, "What if God was one of us...just a strangerrrr on aaa bus...tryin to make his wayyyyy home...brulliant. What was ah saying again?"
Indeed confronting the pertinent issue raised, political observers have acknowledged Joan's lyrics as more believable than George's.

Like any major world city, Hong Kong is saturated with hotels by all the big name chains. But, look just beyond that well-known logo and you'll find plenty of unusual places to stay in Hong Kong shimmering between the skyscrapers. When you've flown far, far from home, the foreign sights, sounds and flavours of your holiday really shouldn't have to stop in the hotel lobby.
Teeny, tiny, smaller than small is the general theme of Hong Kong flats. So why not go local and opt for accommodation of the more petite variety at Mini Hotel. Rooms start from 80 square feet and are chic and minimal with an abundance of small-space expanding white and mirrored surfaces. What you lack in square footage, you more than make up for in location though, with the two Mini Hotels occupying coveted sites in Central and Causeway Bay. Best of all, the room rates are beyond bargainous – something even less common in Hong Kong than spacious living quarters.
For a taste of old Hong Kong, bed down in a former police station within splashing distance of Hong Kong's fabled pink dolphins. Tai O Heritage Hotel, a nine-room boutique property, overlooks pretty Tai O village, nicknamed the "˜Venice of the Orient' due to the scores of stilted overwater houses which are home to the village's population of fisherman. The police station, originally built in 1902 to combat the smuggling and piracy that was prevalent in the area, has now been lovingly restored to all its former colonial glory, complete with canons, searchlights and guard towers.
When thinking of places to stay in Hong Kong, it's unlikely that waking up under canvas on a deserted beach is the image that springs to mind. It's probably even less likely that you imagine that canvas to take the form of a 26-foot diameter, hand-painted, Native American Indian teepee. Yet, Palm Beach offers just that. Spend all day hiking Lantau's green mountains or taking surf lessons in the crashing waves off Cheung Sha Beach, and when night falls, gather around the bonfire pits to tell ghost stories with Hong Kong's neon skyline glowing in the distance.
This all-suite boutique hotel, housed within the historic former headquarters of the marine police, dazzles from the second you draw up in front of its white colonial façade. Once inside, the dazzling ratchets up a notch or few with leafy green courtyards giving way to low-lit chinoiserie lounges and a choice of five restaurants and bars, one of which is situated in the former horse stables. Each suite at Hullett House is decorated to reflect a particular period in Hong Kong history. Will it be the Imperial Chinese Man Wan Suite, complete with a Confucian Temple four-poster bed? Or perhaps the "˜60s Deep Water Bay Suite, decorated with Chairman Mao-themed pop art?
If you're looking for an escape from the buzzing epicentre of the city, it doesn't get much more peaceful than the simple accommodation offered at the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island. Snooze in a dormitory beneath the crossed-legged 34 metre high Big Buddha, and find yourself perfectly primed to watch the sun slink above Lantau Peak at sunrise the following morning.
Despite having a few brothers and sisters in other cities around the world, the Pentahotel Hong Kong avoids the cookie-cutter formula of so many chain hotels and manages to deliver downtown Manhattan chic with a serious injection of Hong Kong fun. Eat, snooze and play in the combined lobby, lounge and café bar, where you can play a game of pool and nibble on handmade dim sum simultaneously. Rooms are compact but perfectly formed with glossy black bathrooms and clever design touches. Best of all, the hotel has swapped out overpriced minibars for one enormous maxibar on the first floor stocked with all your Hong Kong essentials, from cup noodles to miniature models of the Star Ferry.
Booking your flight to Hong Kong couldn't be eaiser with Virgin Atlantic's daily, direct services.
None of these beds quite right? Let us know if we've missed any of your favourite places to stay in Hong Kong in the comments section below.

Thoughts from Seton Hall's media day in Walsh Gym:
Spoke to Paul Gause, who will be featured in tomorrow's Gannett New Jersey papers (link: Gause), Brian Laing, who will be featured in next week's season preview, and John Garcia. No Hall event is complete without a chat with Big John, who is a great guy and a smart one to boot.
Media turnout was much lighter than usual, in part due to all the Yankees' news. The six newcomers were not made available for interviews, but all 12 players did practice, including Mike Glover.
Gonzo on recruiting: "In the next year, or two years, we're going to get a kid that we're not supposed to get, and it's going to upset some people — they're going to accuse us of cheating. It's going to upset the order of things . . . There's an old saying, 'you go to bat enough times, you get a hit.' We've been going to bat with big-time kids and we're going to get one. It's a question of when rather than if."
Gonzo on Eugene Harvey: "The big challenge for Eugene Harvey is to show maturity from his freshman to sophomore year, that he can handle coaching on and off the floor. And people know who he is this year. People talked about (Marquette point guard) Dominic James having a sophomore jinx. Eugene has to face the challenge of being a marked man."
"The other thing he's got to prove is with better pieces around him, can he be a little more of a playmaker, can he cut his turnovers down, can he stil; be as effective with maybe not taking as many shots? I don't care if Eugene comes out and scores 30 a game — I'm going to give Eugene as much freedom as he had last year and he knows that. But at the same time, for us to be good he may not have to carry us offensively like he had to at times last year."
John Garcia on freshman forward Mike Davis, his roommate (each of the new guys is rooming with a veteran) : "I'm definitely waking him up to go to class. We've got a policy: If your roommate doesn't go to class, you're running (laps) too. It's hard for me to get up. He has a lot of 8 o'clock classes. I've got 10 o'clock classes. Mike has a pretty hectic schedule. I show him the ropes and how things are. A lot of people thought he wasn't going to make it, but he's doing a great job."
Garcia on practicing with other big guys, finally: "It's been completely different. Last year I had (freshman guard) Kashiff Pratt guarding me. It's great because you have big bodies to bang with and get you ready for the games. It's nice to know I can go all-out (in a game) and we have somebody coming in who can do the same job I'm doing."
Paul Gause's secrets to stealing the ball:
"You've got to surprise them. If they're ready for it, you're not going to steal the ball. And you have to have great anticipation. If you can't anticipate the pass, or when he's gong to dribble the ball, or when a guy's going to spin or do a crossover, a lot of times you get beat. For me, playing football (in high school), my anticipation time is pretty quick and my reaction time is pretty quick. It seems like the ball's moving in slow motion out there."
—-"How are you feeling?" John's Garcia's been fielding that question a lot lately, and here is the oft-injured but talented big man answer: "I'm doing great. I'm feeling the most healthy I've been since my high school days."
Garcia, who looks trim but solid 6-foot-9 and 259 pounds, will start at center from day one this season.
"He's never played a full season. That's our goal this year," Gonzalez said. "He was a real good get when Seton Hall signed him. He's in the best shape he's ever been in. He may never be the player he once was, but he's a lot closer to being a big-time player now."
—-Three things that concern Bobby Gonzalez based on what he's seen so far: rebounding, half-court defense and team chemistry.
"My biggest challenge this year is going to be getting the six new guys to blend in with the six old guys," he said. "It's going to take a certain amount of games, whether I want it to or not."
—-Freshman wing Jeremy Hazell, the centerpiece of the six-man class, has a chance to be a "major impact freshman" if he steps up his defensive, Gonzalez said. "As far as offense goes he already is gifted. We could play a game tomorrow and he could go out and get 15, 20 points. The question is can I leave him on the floor long enough to get 15 or 20 points because is he going to give up 15 or 20 on the other end?"
—-Gonzalez threw out a "hypothetical" starting lineup that could well be the group that gets introduced in the Nov. 11 opener: Harvey, Jamar Nutter, Brian Laing, Garcia and freshman Mike Glover at power forward . . . the team has yet to practice at the Prudential Center and has not yet been able to schedule a practice on its new home floor.

Our realtor came by yesterday and we listed our condo. No clue if it'll sell, she's not confident about the market in general or condominiums in particular, but we're giving it a shot. I firmly believe we all end up right where we're supposed to be, if that's somewhere else, great, and if it's here that's fine too.
The bulk of the weekend was spent on little projects and getting some extra stuff out of the house. Remember my den? Everything was pretty much done, but there was nothing on the walls. I had a set of three classical prints from an auction, so I did a quick frame job on them and hung them over the credenza. A stacked arrangement like this really emphasizes the ceiling height and I'm happy with it. We also took out the shaggy area rug to show off the dark-stained floors. Cross your fingers!
