Haskell has a function
fmap which can map over a number of different datatypes. For example,
fmap can map a function over both a
List and a
Maybe (the equivalent of an
option in OCaml):
Prelude> fmap (+ 1) [1,2]
Prelude> fmap (+ 1) (Just 3)
Just 4
Unfortunately, the equivalent is impossible in OCaml. That is, there's no way to define an OCaml value
fmap so that the two expressions:
# fmap [1;2] ~f:((+) 1)
# fmap (Some 3) ~f:((+) 1)
both typecheck and evaluate to the right value.
Even if we eliminate the complexity of type inference by specifying the type explicitly, we can't define
fmap so that the two expressions:
# fmap ([1;2] : _ list) ~f:((+) 1)
# fmap (Some 3 : _ option) ~f:((+) 1)
typecheck and evaluate to the right value.
However, the
Generic module in Jane Street's
Core_extended library will let us do exactly that with just a trivial syntactic change. But before continuing, I'll warn you that the
Generic module is not necessarily something you'd want to use in real world code; it falls much more in the "cute trick" category. But with that caveat, let's look at our example using
# open Core.Std;;
# open Core_extended.Generic;;
# map ([1;2] >: __ list) ~f:((+) 1);;
- : int list = [2; 3]
# map (Some 3 >: __ option) ~f:((+) 1);;
- : int option = Some 4
Note that, after opening the
Generic module, all we did to the previous example was change
: to
>: and
_ to
__. (Also, the
Generic module calls the mapping function
map instead of
fmap, but that's inconsequential.)
Of course, the trick is that
list, and
option are actually values defined by the
Generic module in such a way that their intended usage looks like a type annotation.
Note that these "types" are nestable as you would expect real types to be:
# map ([None; Some 3] >: __ option list) ~f:((+) 1);;
- : int option list = [None; Some 4]
This means that you can change what map does just by changing the "type" you assign to its argument:
# map ([None; Some 3] >: __ option list) ~f:(fun _ -> ());;
- : unit option list = [None; Some ()]
# map ([None; Some 3] >: __ list) ~f:(fun _ -> ());;
- : unit list = [(); ()]
Generic module also defines a generic
fold function so that you can accumulate values at any "depth" in your value:
# fold ([[Some 3; None]; [Some 5; Some 2]] >: __ option list list) ~init:0 ~f:(+);;
- : int = 10
Not every "type" formable is
__ followed by some sequence of
options and
lists: for example,
Generic also provides
string (considered as a container of characters):
# map ([Some "foo"; None; Some "bar"] >: string option list) ~f:Char.uppercase;;
- : string option list = [Some "FOO"; None; Some "BAR"]
Note that the fact that the "types" are nestable means that these values must have unusual definitions: in particular,
__ (and
string) are functions which must be able to take a variable number of arguments. Indeed, these values are defined using a technique sweeks wrote about in a blog post on variable argument functions: the
f and
z in sweeks's post are analogous here to
__ and
>: respectively.
Here's the definition of the primitive values we've used so far (
Generic actually defines a few more):
let __ k = k (fun f x -> f x)
let ( >: ) x t y = t (fun x -> x) y x
let map x ~f = x f
let string k = k (fun f -> String.map ~f)
let list map k = k (fun f -> List.map ~f:(map f))
let option map k = k (fun f -> Option.map ~f:(map f))
The types of these turn out to be extremely unhelpful, and you can't really use them to figure out how to use these values. For example, here is the type of
>: (and this isn't just the inferred type of the above definition, this is the type which must actually be exposed to use
val ( >: ) : 'a -> (('b -> 'b) -> 'c -> 'a -> 'd) -> 'c -> 'd
Finally, is this module actually used? The answer is no. As far as I know, it's used nowhere in Jane Street's codebase. But it's still kind of cute.

We've had an abnormally warm Winter and Spring in Boston this year, but thoughtbot likes it EVEN HOTTER so we're going south to Austin. As a bonus, Railsconf is there. If you'd like to meet a real, live thoughtbot employee, here's who you can expect to see there:
Chad is the CEO of thoughtbot. You may recognize him from books like Backbone.js on Rails or movies like Humans Present: tmux. Chad's been focusing on workshops and other learning materials. If you have an idea for a book, screencast, or workshop, come find Chad. I'm sure he'd love to hear about it!

Matt is our COO. He's into movies, too, and he's the mastermind behind such open source works as flutie and pacecar. If you have an idea for a web app or want to discuss your favorite kind of trail mix, look for Matt.

Joe isn't always the CTO of thoughtbot, but when he is…actually, he always is. Joe is the original author of factory_girl and capybara-webkit. He'll be working on those, as well as his secret project with Mike Burns. If you're interested in any of those things, come find Joe.

Jon is one of the co-founders of thoughtbot. He wrote the paperclip gem. You may have heard of it. It's kind of a big deal. He also wrote the excitingly-named cocaine. If you want to help out with paperclip, find Jon.

Mike is a long time thoughtbotter and just moved to Stockholm. He loves open source, Swedish slang, and the Oxford comma. If you want to discuss open source or pull requests, just follow your nose to the…well, look for Mike.

Josh likes testing more than he likes food or oxygen. He's also the maintainer of factory_girl. If you want to yell about testing or factory_girl, Josh is ya boi.

Ben is a speaker and conference enthusiast. If you're at a conference, look for Ben's name. He's probably on the speaker list under "v" for "Vim." If you want to talk about speaking, Vim, or travel, you can't do much better than Ben.

Prem is a frequent contributor to Rails (you may have heard of it), paperclip, and other open source libraries. If you have a strange problem with paperclip, the asset pipeline, or Rails in general, look for Prem; I bet he can tell you what's happening.

Gabe brings humor, vocabulary, and Star Wars to thoughtbot. Gabe wrote kumade and can probably tell you how to pronounce it. He's also a frequent contributor to open source, and has been focusing on shoulda's matchers lately. For a good time, find Gabe.

Joel just started at thoughtbot after several years as a mercenary. He's a chatty one, so if you'd like to talk about anything - Ruby, Rails, Sass, beer, dogs, beer for dogs, or the economic viability of dogs as laptop stands - find him. He's the one with the big head.

Hope to see you there! If not, look for us at one of our other upcoming events.

Feathered Friends: Bald Eagle reigns as national symbol
With the Fourth of July only days away, I thought this week's column should focus some attention on our national bird, the American Bald Eagle. The Bald Eagle officially became the national emblem in 1782 when the great seal of the United States was adopted.
Despite elevating this native bird to such lofty status, we have not always been kind to the Bald Eagle. We allowed habitat destruction and toxic pesticides to bring this eagle to the brink of extinction.
With some protection, however, the Bald Eagle rebounded. In fact, the Department of Interior took the Bald Eagle off the endangered species list on June 28, 2007.
The Bald Eagle has been more frequently observed by birders in Northeast Tennessee in recent years. Some of the area lakes in the region are good places to look for Bald Eagles, particularly in the fall and winter. A few lakes even host nesting Bald Eagles, such as a pair currently nesting at Holston Lake.
I've observed Bald Eagles in Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and Virginia. My most unusual observation of a wild Bald Eagle took place on Labor Day several years ago when an adult Bald Eagle flew over my grandparents' home in Limestone Cove in Unicoi County.
North America's other eagle, the Golden Eagle, is a very rare visitor to northeast Tennessee. The Golden Eagle is primarily a bird of the western United States while the Bald Eagle ranges widely across the United States as well as into Canada and Mexico.
The eagles are incredibly majestic birds and important symbols of the value of natural places and creatures.
The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a member of a genus known as Haliaeetus, or sea eagles. There are seven other living species in the genus: the White-bellied Sea Eagle, Sanford's Sea Eagle, African Fish Eagle, Madagascar Fish Eagle, Pallas's Fish Eagle, White-tailed Eagle and Steller's Sea Eagle.
The Bald Eagle, however, is not considered closely related to eagles in the genus Aquila, or "true eagles," in which the Golden Eagle is included.
Both male and female adult bald eagles have a blackish-brown back and breast; a white head, neck, and tail; and yellow feet and bill. Juvenile Bald Eagles are a mixture of brown and white. They reach full maturity in four to five years.
The female Bald Eagle is 35 to 37 inches in length, slightly larger than the male, with a wingspan that ranges from 72 to 90 inches. Bald Eagles weigh from 10 to 14 pounds.
Despite these impressive characteristics, the Bald Eagle is dwarfed in comparison to one of its now-extinct relatives.
The largest eagle ever to evolve was Haast's Eagle, which once thrived in New Zealand. This eagle was named for the German geologist Julius von Haast, who founded Canterbury Museum at Christchurch in New Zealand. Haast, who died in 1887, was one of the first scientists to study large flightless birds such as the Moa family that once roamed New Zealand.
In fact, Haast's Eagle was considered a major predator on the population of New Zealand Moas, some of which reached a height of 12 feet tall and a weight of more than 500 pounds. By contrast, female Haast Eagles probably reached a weight of 22 to 33 pounds. Males, as is the case with most living eagles, are smaller than females and probably weighed between 20 to 26 pounds. This mega-sized eagle possessed a relatively short wingspan of roughly 8 to 10 feet wide. This wingspan compares to that recorded for large specimens of Golden Eagle and Steller's Sea Eagle. Even the largest of today's eagles, however, are about 40 percent smaller in body size than the size of Haast's Eagles. Despite their superior size, Moas simply lacked any defense against the huge razor-like talons and sharp bill of the Haas Eagle.
Here are a few other eagle facts:
— Eagle bones are light because they are hollow. The beak, talons and feathers are made of keratin.
— The Madagascar Fish Eagle is the most rare eagle on earth, and one of the most rare birds. The current population is estimated at less than 400 individual birds, with perhaps around 120 breeding pairs.
— Bald Eagles have 7,000 feathers.
— Wild Bald Eagles are long-lived birds and may live as long as 30 years. In captivity, however, the oldest documented Bald Eagle lived to be 47 years old.
— Bald Eagles can lift as much as four pounds. They feed mainly on fish, but they will take advantage of carrion and scavenge for their meals. They will occasionally also take waterfowl as prey.
— The hunting area of Bald Eagles varies from 1,700 to 10,000 acres. Home ranges are smaller where food is present in great quantity.
— Bald Eagles can fly to an altitude of 10,000 feet. During level flight, they can achieve speeds of about 30 to 35 miles per hour.
— All eagles are renowned for their excellent eyesight.
— Once paired, Bald Eagles remain together until one dies. Bald Eagles lay from one to three eggs. The 35 days of incubation duties are shared by both male and female.
— Today, there are about 10,000 breeding pairs of bald eagles.
Mike McKinney, who lives in the Siam community, called me this week to share a sighting he made of at least 250 Barn Swallows.
"I'd had never seen that many Barn Swallows in my life," Mike said.
As we discussed the large number of swallows, we decided the birds were probably flocking together in a "staging area" in anticipation of their southward migration. Swallows usually depart the region ahead of many of our other summer resident birds.
In addition to the Barn Swallows, he said six Tree Swallows nested on his property. He also had one nesting box occupied by a pair of Eastern Bluebirds. A few Barn Swallows also nested in an old barn at his home.
Mike also mentioned seeing Cliff Swallows at some local bridges. These swallows, which at one time nested primarily on rocky cliffs, now frequently nest under bridges and other manmade structures. They make their jug-shaped nests out of mud. Mike marvelled that the parent swallows can tell their nests apart from the nearby seemingly identical nests of their neighboring swallows.
Spurred by the report from Mike McKinney, I visited the pond at Erwin Fishery Park on the evening of June 26. I didn't find hundreds of swallows, but I did find a few dozen of these birds swooping over the pond and perching in the branches of a large sycamore tree. Purple Martins and Barn Swallows dominated the mix of swallows skimming over the surface of the pond, but I also detected a few Tree Swallows and a single Northern Rough-winged Swallow.
Swallows present in Northeast Tennessee during the summer season include Purple Martin, Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Northern Rough-winged Swallow and Bank Swallow. Of these species, the Bank Swallow is the most difficult to find. Because of their specialized nesting needs, Bank Swallows are localized in their distribution and not as widespread as their kin.
A total of 83 species of swallows can be found worldwide. Some of the common names for these different swallows and martins are quite descriptive. A sampling includes White-eyed River Martin, Square-tailed Saw-wing, White-headed Saw-wing, Grey-rumped Swallow, White-backed Swallow, Banded Martin, Violet-green Swallow, Golden Swallow, White-winged Swallow, White-rumped Swallow, Brown-chested Martin, Brown-bellied Swallow, Pale-footed Swallow, White-bibbed Swallow, Pearl-breasted Swallow, Greater Striped Swallow, Mosque Swallow, Fairy Martin and Chestnut-collared Swallow.
To share a sighting, ask a question or make a comment, call me at 297-9077 or email me at ahoodedwarbler@aol. com. I am on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ahoodedwarbler.

I'm tired so here's some quick hits…
- Dillon Gee's performance tonight snapped a streak of 36 games in which Mets' starter's gave up two or more runs. Out of all of the stats I've seen recently, this one illustrates the point I have been making about how average the rotation is collectively this year.
- Ron Darling's annoyance at how much the Padres' bullpen slowed the game down was amusing.
"These relief pitcher's have put a parachute on this game. Thatcher has faked to second four times this inning…"-Ron Darling
- Even though he had only one hit, David Wright had a huge impact on this game. His three run blast is obvious, but I really enjoyed his fake throw to first to fool Maybin for an out in the bottom of the frame. Don't forget, this happened after his diving stop prevented Maybin from scoring in the first place.
- Chalk up two more runs allowed by Igarashi. Seems like a nice dude, but I can't say I'll be too upset the day we see him leave the franchise permanently. He is a run allowing machine.
- Jason Bay is Baying again (0 for his last 20)…
- No matter what the situation, a road series win is always a good thing. Particularly at a park that the Mets have struggled in historically.

Lakeway >Transportation & Storage > Two Guys Moving
PO Box 341286, Austin, TX | Directions 7873430.366667 -97.948391
Neighborhoods: Cardinal Hills
Straight Up Great – Oh sure, there are moving companies with "credentials" (from industry associations they pay) and "contracts" (that no lawyer can enforce.) Getting straightforward estimates from them gave me heartburn. I wanted help to move at my convenience, in my budget and without a lot of BS Two Guys Moving was great. Friendly. Courteous. Flexible. Plus they have an A+ rating with BBB. That ought to tell you something. Highly recommend.
Totally unprofessional – I would never move with Two Guys Moving again, but they might be the right fit for you if you have cheap stuff that just needs to get quickly thrown into some boxes and transported somewhere.
I've moved 6 times over the last 10 years, and I've always gone with the "big guys" (Atlas, United Van Lines, etc.), but this time I made the mistake of choosing a local company with no van line credentials. Boy, is there a difference.
You have to understand what you are getting yourself into here if you decide to move with these guys. These are not "professional" packers or movers... they're just a few friendly guys with a truck who will help shlep your stuff from one location to another. These guys are the equivalent of calling up your friends to help you move your stuff. That is, they'll throw some stuff in some boxes for you (if you request the "packing" service), they'll carry your bare furniture onto your truck without protecting it, and then they'll drive it to the new location. I would recommend calling your friends instead.
However, these guys might be right for you if:
- You are a college kid with low-cost items and are moving into a dorm room.
- Your entire furniture collection comes from IKEA.
If you are a professional with expensive furniture, or if you expect a high degree of quality and care, these guys are not for you. They also came unprepared. But again, if you're a college kid with a few $100 IKEA desks, you should consider calling these guys.
They asked me several times if my furniture items were from IKEA while shaking the items, and I was like, "Um, no, that is a $3,000 bookshelf that you are shaking back & forth." I honestly don't think these guys have ever seen high-quality furniture before. They're certainly not trained on how to protect it, disassemble it, or handle it.
I had several problems with this move. In a nutshell, they were unprofessional (showed up late & didn't even know the 2 destination addresses), unprepared (they asked ME if I had packing materials since they didn't have enough... they ended up using my bathroom towels to protect my dishes), they were sloppy (they didn't wrap any of my expensive furniture like my $2,000 dresser or even bother taking the clothes out of the dresser... they just carried the furniture bare into the truck with the dresser drawers sliding open while they were carrying them and I had to run behind them to close the dresser drawers. Same thing with my expensive mattress & box spring... they just packed them bare into the truck, and they both arrived ripped on 2 corners!! Now I have a ripped mattress & box spring), they didn't pack my items properly (just threw office stuff & clothes into boxes with no protection -- they didn't even bring the tall wardrobe boxes, they brought the small ones so all of my long trenchcoats & sportjackets arrived completely wrinkled on the bottom halves; plus, 2 of my wine glasses arrived broken and 2 of my glass picture frames arrived broken), they didn't take proper care when handling my $4,000 wooden bed frame (which now has cracked wood underneath because they refused to disassemble it properly) or my expensive paintings (some of which have chipped frames). I just found 3 pairs of $200 Italian leather dress shoes completely FLATTENED because they packed them at the very bottom of a box which was filled with books. REALLY?! You're going to put gorgeous leather dress shoes underneath 40 pounds of books? Same thing with my expensive leather belts... completely twisted out of shape because they were carelessly thrown in at the bottom of a box of boxes.
These guys are just terrible!
If you are a true professional with high-quality furniture and high-quality belongings, go with the big guys... the ones who really know what they're doing.
If you're a college kid with disposable stuff that you're going to discard at the end of the school year anyway, then consider these guys.
life savers... – It all started on rainy cool Friday morning. Me and my big ideas...I thought I would transfer from my second flloor apartment to a larger second floor apartment. Well I called first thing Friday morning and JOE and MIKE came to my surprise by 2pm. With a blink of the eye they single handedly moved my entire furniture motif to my new home...They were fast, courteous and very proffessional..Thanks for coming last minute same day and in thr RAIN no less!!!

Serves 10 to 12, with a good probability of leftovers
Butter, garlic, and fresh herbs flavor this juicy roasted turkey. A Madeira jus, made from homemade turkey broth and the pan drippings, is quicker to make than traditional gravy and just as delicious.
Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10-inch straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the neck and giblets (if using) with a pinch of salt, stirring often, until browned, 9 to 10 minutes
Transfer the neck and giblets to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil and add the garlic, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaf, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until browned, 8 to 9 minutes.
Return the neck and giblets to the skillet. Add the parsley, sage, and rosemary. Add 1-1/2 cups of water, 2 cups of the broth, and the Madeira. Bring to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until intensely flavorful, about 2-1/2 hours. If the liquid level drops enough to expose the solids, add more broth. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a large bowl—you'll have 2 to 2-1/2 cups.
Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Put a V-rack in a large roasting pan.
Rinse and dry the turkey. Rub the inside of the body and neck cavities with the cut side of the lemon half, and sprinkle 1 tsp. salt inside the cavities.
Thinly slice three garlic cloves. Carefully slide your hands under the skin of the turkey to loosen it from the breast. Push the garlic slices between the skin and the breast, being careful not to tear the skin.
Mix the butter with the thyme, 2 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Spread half of the butter inside the body cavity of the turkey. Put the lemon half, 3 sage sprigs, 3 rosemary sprigs, the celery leaves (if using), and about three-quarters of the remaining garlic cloves in the cavity. Put the remaining herb sprigs and garlic cloves in the neck cavity.
Tie the legs together for a neater appearance, if you like. Tuck the wing tips behind the neck, securing any loose skin over the neck cavity beneath the wing tips. Set the turkey in the V-rack, breast side down. Rub half of the remaining thyme butter over the back of the turkey and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the oven and baste the turkey with the pan drippings. With silicone oven mitts or two wads of paper towels, flip the turkey onto its back. Spread the remaining thyme butter over the breast and legs, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 1 hour more.
Baste and continue to roast for 30 minutes more. Baste again and then check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of both thighs. The turkey is done when the thermometer registers 170°F to 175°F and the juices run clear when the thermometer is removed. If necessary, continue roasting and checking the temperature every 10 minutes. If at any time the turkey gets too dark on top, tent it loosely with foil.
Remove the pan from the oven. With silicone oven mitts or wads of paper towels, tilt the turkey so the juices in the cavity run into the roasting pan. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter or cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. Reserve the drippings in the roasting pan. Let the turkey rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before carving.
Strain the drippings from the roasting pan through a fine sieve into the Madeira broth. Transfer to a fat separator, wait until the fat has risen to the top, and then slowly separate the broth from the fat into a clean 2-quart saucepan. Discard the fat.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. If the jus is too concentrated and salty, add a little water.
Carve the turkey and serve with the jus.
The broth for the Madeira jus—before the turkey drippings are added—may be prepared two days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. After roasting, the turkey can rest at room temperature for up to one hour. Reheat the broth before making the jus.

by Auralyn,
6/14/2012This was a really delicious turkey -made it last Thanksgiving. Gorgeous golden-brown skin, very tender meat and extremely flavorful. The "au jus" was FANTASTIC and got rave reviews around the dinner table -many guests commented that it was better than gravy (which makes total sense : it is pure flavor, undiluted by any flour!). I thought the instructions were thorough and easy to follow, too.
by winstonk,
11/25/2011I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner and I'm glad I did. It was the first time that I've had the taste of the herbs truly come through the meat. I also brined it in a lobster pot using the maple-garlic-bay brine from the Herb-Butter Roasted Turkey from Sept 2007. The Madeira Jus kept its flavor after diluting with water to reduce the saltiness. Will definitely use this again.

Hot boots that keep the whole body warm
My husband bought me the Hot Boots - Cream for my birthday, and I use them nearly everyday! They keep my feet perfectly warm. I suffer from Raynaud's and sometimes I've used them as a water bottle in bed, they are less fiddly than filling up a bottle. Just pop them in the microwave for 2 mins and you have happy, warm feet! I don't know what I would do without them!
These snuggly Hot Boots boots are ideal for winter and they do what they are supposed to. They fit on right and look quite cute. The only things that annoyed me are that it's hard to walk in them as the grains move, so I have to walk slow and shift grains as I go along. They are cosy once you heat them but they lose this heat quickly, and although they keep your toes warm at first, they quickly go cold.

TRENTON, N.J. -- Gov. Chris Christie has asked the federal government for nearly $37 billion in aid to help New Jersey recover and rebuild after Superstorm Sandy.
Christie announced the revised total Wednesday to include $7.4 billion to cover mitigation, protection and prevention of future disasters. A preliminary total of $29.4 billion announced last week covers repairs and response. The total amount he asked for is greater than his state's entire yearly budget.
"My commitment to the people of New Jersey is to make steady progress in our recovery, and to know that three or six or 12 months from now I'll demand the same level of effort, attention and results from government as I have in the past 30 days," Christie said at a Statehouse news conference.
The Republican governor announced Monday that he would seek re-election next year. He said he was motivated, in part, by a desire to continue to lead the state through the rebuilding phase after the hurricane.
Christie named a former U.S. attorney's office colleague, Marc Ferzan, to spearhead the state's recovery and rebuilding efforts. Ferzan, who is leaving the private sector to rejoin government, will be paid a Cabinet-level salary of $141,000. The administration also hired Witt Associates, the disaster management company founded by former Federal Emergency Management Agency director James Lee Witt.
Christie said more than 30,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or sustained structural damage during Sandy and that 42,000 buildings sustained lesser damage from the Oct. 30 storm. He said FEMA has distributed more than $500 million in aid so far; 230,000 New Jerseyans have registered for federal assistance.
Earlier this week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked for $42 billion in federal aid - $32 billion for repairs and restoration and more than $9 billion to head off future disasters, including steps to protect the power grid and cellphone network.
Christie said it's now up to New Jersey's congressional delegation - made up of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats - to fight for the aid.
Christie has said he expects the federal government to compensate New Jersey and New York the same as it provided aid to Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas after Hurricane Katrina.
Christie also said he and Cuomo have agreed not to compete with one another for federal funds.
"We're not going to allow any political forces in Washington, D.C., to divide and conquer us," Christie said. "We going to go down there as a team, we're going to work together and advocate for the numbers we put forward. These are realistic numbers that we need."

Natural color ones too small
By Calitangirl
from San Diego, CA
Love the quality and price, but the natural color ones are a size too small even though they say size 9M inside. I'm real disappointed with them. The red ones are true to size--9M--and fit fine. I didn't want to go through the trouble and expense od sending the natural color ones back, so I'll either try to stretch them, or give them to someone who wears a smaller size than me.

MeL has grown from the combination of several statewide projects. The original projects were the Michigan Electronic Library, a collection of Internet resources selected by librarians (1992), and AccessMichigan, a project to provide more than 60 licensed commercial databases to Michigan's libraries (1997) free of charge. MeLCat, a statewide resource sharing project, was made available to the public in January 2005, and AccessMichigan was renamed MeL Databases.
MeL is a project of the Library of Michigan, an agency of the state government. The Library of Michigan contracts with MCLS and partners with a number of Michigan organizations and institutions to provide MeL services. MeL is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
MCLS staff provide support and training for two components of MeL: MeLCat & the MeL Databases.
General MeL information for Michigan library staff is available at the following links:

NBA. Nets. Brooklyn. Cool.
Four words many thought would never go together.
Two stand out even more: Nets and cool.
At Friday's ribbon cutting for the Barclays Center, the new Brooklyn home for the NBA's Nets franchise, a transformation was clear.
The New Jersey Nets were never cool. The BROOKLYN Nets are.
Almost instantly.
It all starts with entertainer Jay Z. Yes, Beyonce's lesser half. He owns only one-fifteenth of one percent of the franchise, but he seems to have complete ownership of the team's style.
He designed the logo, taking it from red, white and blue to the rugged simplicity of black and white. He helped design elements of the Barclays Center, including the look of the basketball court itself.
"Jay and I collaborate on a lot of different things," said Brett Yormark, CEO of the Nets and the Barclays Center. Yormark admits, he actually has him on speed dial.
What's cooler than that? (Read More:Jay-Z Festival Will Boost Philly's Profile says Mayor)
"He's obviously a tastemaker, and he's got incredible talents," Yormark said. "He lends advice, provides input and has a great vision."
Jay Z didn't appear at the ceremony — most likely to keep the focus on the arena and the team — but his role in the facility's launch is crucial. He sold out eight shows to kick off things, starting on September 28.
That's almost 150,000 tickets.
In fact, the entire enterprise has momentum — from ticket sales to apparel. And it's all difficult to believe considering this move was delayed for years due to the financial crisis and other political obstacles.
The vision of actually being in Brooklyn may have taken a long time, but the vision of becoming a BROOKLYN brand — and a popular one at that — was realized faster than expected. (Read More: Decades Later, Brooklyn Has Its Own Pro Team Again)
"We've sold 11,000 season tickets," Yormark said. "That's an all-time high for the Nets."
And they've yet to play a game here.
Yormark added that the Nets WILL be profitable in year No. 1 in Brooklyn.
A huge part of that has been sponsorships. Barclays , and its $400 million commitment over 20 years, has been in place for some time, but other major brands have signed on, like a $2 million per year commitment from American Express .
Ironically, Amex couldn't reach a renewal with Madison Square Garden , so they took a bridge and inked a deal with the Nets.
Competing with MSG and the Knicks already seems to be a rivalry off the court, but Yormark doesn't see it that way. (Read More:Sports for the One Percent)
"We don't think about them," he said when asked about competing for sponsorship money, media coverage and fan support. "But we do want to create a rivalry on the court."
Regardless of what he says, it's "game on" off the court already, and the hoops rivalry should begin November 1 when the Knicks make their first trip to Brooklyn.

Alpaca refers to a type of metal alloy often used to replace silver. It consists of 55 percent copper, 20 percent nickel, 20 percent zinc and 5 percent tin. Alpaca is also referred to as nickel, nickel-copper plating or most commonly, alpaca silver. Because it resembles silver and is less expensive, alpaca is a popular material used in jewelry production. Alpaca jewelry is easy to care for as it does not tarnish as easily or as deeply as sterling silver and is easier to clean. Plated with sterling silver, alpaca jewelry is both durable and beautiful, making it a high quality product.

2 U.S. troops, 2 Afghan policemen killed in fighting9:27 am | October 8, 2012
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents on Saturday killed two American troops in eastern Afghanistan, an area that has seen heavy fighting in recent months, the U.S. military said.
No other information about the deaths was disclosed, pending notification of family members.
But a U.S. military official said two U.S. special operations forces were killed by small arms fire in Wardak province, southwest of Kabul.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose information about the deaths.
So far this year, 296 international troops, including at least 257 Americans, have been killed in Afghanistan.

The largest community in the Okanagan Valley, with a regional population of more than 180,000, Kelowna makes a good base for exploring the region's beaches, ski hills, wineries, and numerous golf courses. Although its edges are untidily urban, with strip malls and office parks sprawling everywhere, the town's walkable downtown runs along and up from Okanagan Lake. So even though the city continues to expand, you can still enjoy a stroll in the restful lakeside park.
Okanagan Lake splits Kelowna in two. On the east side of the lake is Kelowna proper, which includes the city's downtown and the winery district south of the city center that the locals call the Mission. On the west side of the lake is the community of West Kelowna, which is frequently still known by its former name, Westbank. Several wineries are on the west side, on and off Boucherie Road. The William R. Bennett Bridge connects the two sides of the lake.
