Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.

Professional and Career Benefits
During Service
Peace Corps Training
Training begins in the U.S. with a brief pre-departure orientation. Then the Peace Corps provides two to three months of training in the country in which Volunteers are assigned to serve. Volunteers study together and receive intensive instruction in the local language, usually from native speakers. They learn technical skills related to their jobs, how to adopt practices to enhance their safety and well-being, and they become familiar with the country's cultural traditions.
During this period, most Volunteers live with host families to fully immerse themselves in the new culture. At the completion of training, Volunteers possess the language, technical, and cross-cultural skills needed to begin their work and are then sent to their individual sites. Over the next 24 months of service, the Peace Corps provides Volunteers with regular opportunities to reinforce existing skills and gain new skills related to work, language, culture, and safety.
After Service
Skills for the Global Marketplace
Fluency in foreign languages, international experience, and cross-cultural understanding are highly sought-after assets in today's global economy. Peace Corps provides training in a foreign language, technical skills, and cross-cultural understanding. This, combined with the experience of living, learning, and working with a community overseas for 27 months, augments any career path.
Whether you are just out of college, mid-career, or retired, the new skills you learn in the Peace Corps can help you achieve long-term career goals by enhancing your marketability to employers. Volunteers returning from abroad have used their Peace Corps experience as the foundation for successful careers in a variety of areas, from government to business to education.
Receive Advantages in Federal Employment
Volunteers who complete two years of service receive one year of noncompetitive eligibility for employment in the federal government. This means that at the hiring agency's discretion, if a Volunteer meets the minimum qualifications for a position, he or she can be hired without going through the standard competitive process. Those who are employed by the federal government after their Peace Corps service can receive credit toward retirement for those years of Volunteer service.
Career Support After Service
When Volunteers return to the U.S., Peace Corps Returned Volunteer Services (RVS) provides transition assistance related to jobs and education. RVS publishes online job announcements, graduate school information, and career-related articles and advice; sponsors career events throughout the year in Washington, D.C., and other cities; and helps returned Volunteers translate their field experience for prospective employers and other professional contacts.
Employment Opportunities at Peace Corps Partner Organizations
The Peace Corps has partnerships with other federal agencies, international and domestic nongovernmental organizations, volunteering and service organizations, minority higher education institutions, and other domestic nonprofits. Your Peace Corps service strengthens your competitiveness for employment with Peace Corps partner organizations. These nonprofit, government, and community development organizations are eager to apply your overseas experience to programs at home and abroad.
View a list of partner organizations.
Be Part of a Vibrant Network
Extend your Volunteer experience by being part of the more than 210,000 returned Volunteers, many of whom actively participate in local returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) groups.
Unique Opportunity for Short-Term Assignments
Peace Corps Response is a program that offers short-term, high-impact assignments overseas for returned Volunteers and other experienced professionals. Positions average six months in length and are designed to address development needs as identified by the host country. There are a small number of assignments, selection is competitive, and requirements are different than for a Peace Corps Volunteer.

I am a vibrant woman, 73 yrs old and put this pantry together on my own. Directions were very easy to follow and I will enjoy this piece as it is of quality that I expected.
This piece works out perfect for my needs, it holds all my baking stuff with room in the bottom for my kitchen aid mixer and another larger kitchen appliance. It's great to have everything at your fingertips and the middle drawer is perfect for rolls of foil, plastic wrap etc. The distressing is obviously machine done, but the piece is nice and solid, I'm very pleased.
Great product overall. There were a few missing drilled holes when we put it together, but it wasn't that big of a deal. The middle drawer catches when it is opened/closed. BUT other than that, it is a great product and looks great.
I got this on sale. I like the overall look in my kitchen, not as white as the pic on the site though. If you like the antique look furniture, go for it! It will be much faster to get it together if you have a extra hand. Overall, I give it 4 stars because I am not really into distressed finish furniture. I guess I didn't pay an attention when I was ordering it. But I will keep it!
We received the pantry in the expected time frame and everything was in the box; nothing was broken. We got it up and the only problem we had was that we could not get the doors to exactly align. This does not keep the doors from opening and closing, just a cosmetic issue. I was a bit disappointed with that aspect. However, in general I am pleased with the product. It is a nice looking pantry for the money.
This is a nice piece. My college-age daughter assembled it in two hours. She laid out all the pieces to mirror the diagram included. This allowed her to take inventory of the pieces and easily locate the piece needed at the the appropriate time. She occasionally needed my help to balance a piece so that it would easily line up and fit together. .
Needed extra storage in kitchen. Color and style looked to be at least close to my kitchen table/chairs. Delivery was one day early (surprised me!) and it was NOT shipped freight, but UPS, who left it at my door. Assembly was straightforward. Excellent instructions, and all the parts (the hardware) are CLEARLY labeled and bagged separately within the "hardware packet"--no having to try to figure out "is this the short woodscrew or the long one?" as you sort through a bag of parts all thrown together like many other "assemble it yourself" furniture seems to do. Two of the cams were a little fussy, but it went together with no colorful language needed. It's strong, sturdy, leveled perfectly and drawer and all doors hung exactly as they were intended. Visually the color was almost identical to the above mentioned table, so it looks like it is part of a set--which delights me a great deal--that's more than I was expecting. The color is not true white, sort of an aged white, and the piece is described as "distressed" so it had the obligatory "wear" marks on some edges. If I needed another one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Very pleased.
I ordered this pantry for my newly decorated laundry room. It looks beautiful and really spruces up the area. It took us right at two hours to put it together. My husband followed behind and tightened everything up. The pantry was extremely well packed and arrived in perfect condition. We were also very pleasantly surprised to see that each piece was labeled. It isn't quite as white as I thought it would be but I'm still thrilled with it.
This pantry arrived in a timely manner and was not damaged in any way. My husband, who is extremely picky, put it together in about two hours and had nothing but good things to say about it. I am very pleased with the looks of it (just like the picture). It is roomier than I thought it would be. Overall, it seems to be a good quality piece of furniture. Thank you Overstock!
One of the doors is not perfectly aligned but it's not noticeable on an everyday use basis. Easy to assemble. The top of the cabinet has metal inserts like it could be used on the bottom. If so you could put wheels on it to make it easier to move around. Basically it's a great buy and does exactly what it was supposed to do for my needs - storage in a heavy duty attractive cabinet.

I bought it from a 'scratch and dent' store through Amazon.com (click on the 'X New and Used from $X', where I was able to buy it new for about half price (still kind of pricey, but I didn't want to risk buying a used set. The box has one corner mashed in from apparently being dropped, but there is no damage to the CD's inside, and they did offer a guarantee.
The Concertos, which is all I've listened to so far, are excellent. I've not tried the choral works, which comprise about half the set. I particularly like the mandolin and lute concertos. The Four Seasons is pretty good but, as you would expect, not one of the best performances I've heard.
I don't know that I would consider the set a bargain at full price, but for the price I paid, I would say they are worth the money.
navneeth wrote:And here are the first symphonies to make it into my collection - LvB 6 and 9, and Schubert's 5th. Surprisingly, I found Bohm's CD and immediately picked it up. The bigger surprise came later, when I was editing my list in this thread. I assumed that the 9 was theKarajan '63 version; only when I saw that it was the Egmont overture, and not the Coriolan, that was the add-on did I realise that it wasn't the same CD. In fact, this is an earlier version of the 9th conducted by Fricsay. Just take a look at the CD covers! But this CD seems to have received good reviews, too, and the store won't exchange goods once purchsed.
The Trevor Pinnock and Simon Sandage's period-instrument version of the Le Quattro Stagioni was tempting, but I think it has to wait for a while.
P.S. I just have too many DG's in my collection.
Catmando wrote:How are your CDs? Particularly the Pastoral 6th?
I see that your copy of the 9th Symphony has it listed as 5 movements. Is it more common to have the 9th Symphony listed as 5 movements, or 4, because I seem to come across alot that have 5 movements?

2014 Enriching Scholarship keynote speaker Diana Oblinger, President and CEO of EDUCAUSE
CRLT has created a set of resources for faculty considering flipping their classes.
Looking for innovative teaching techniques? Click here for examples of excellent teaching by U-M instructors.
Founded in 1962, CRLT was the first university teaching center in the world!
How do undergraduates experience the learning environment and broader campus climate at U-M? Of course, teachers regularly gather information about such questions from their direct interactions with students. The campus-wide UMAY survey offers a broader, systematic way of collecting and tracking student perceptions about their learning and their more general experience of U-M. In this post, guest blogger Karen Zaruba of the Office of Budget & Planning describes some of the rich findings generated by the survey and highlights reasons you might encourage your students to complete it.
Have you heard about the University of Michigan Asks You (UMAY) survey? Just as important: Have your students heard about it?
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the UMAY survey is the university's annual effort to learn more about the undergraduate experience on our campus. Each spring, we invite all undergrads (regardless of class year) to respond. We want to know how they are doing as students, and how we are doing as an institution.
The survey questions cover a lot of ground: self-assessment of skills and growth since enrolling, perceptions of climate, use of time, academic engagement, and goals. Students report on their satisfaction with their experience in the classroom, academic department, and on campus overall, including their participation in research, study abroad, internships, service learning, and other high-impact learning activities. There are over 600 items in all (though no student has to answer all of them: some questions are randomly assigned). This broad range of items enables us to assess program effectiveness, benchmark with other universities, and gather unique insights about students' experiences.
To get a flavor of the kinds of things we can learn, here are some findings from the 2013 UMAY survey:
The final days of the semester can be a great time to engage students in reflective thinking about their own learning. End-of-term reviews often focus solely on course content, but you can also use this time to prompt student "metacognition," or thinking about their own learning, asking students to notice how they learn best, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and plan future approaches to learning. Such reflective thinking is an important component of learning that can easily be overlooked in the rush to cover content. But by helping students develop metacognitive habits, you can help solidify their learning in your course, increase their ability to make use of it in future courses, and enhance their capacities as self-directed learners.
What are some effective ways to prompt metacognition in the final days of the term? Good ideas we've heard at CRLT include:
Of course, these activities not only help students assess and plan their learning--they can also help you understand in greater detail what students have gained from your course. For additional ideas about teaching metacognition (including bibliographies of the research into how it improves learning), check out these resources:
If you teach using presentation software such as Google Slides or PowerPoint, do you ever wonder whether your slides are more of a distraction than an aid to learning? At CRLT, we regularly consult with instructors who want to maximize the instructional value of their slides but aren't sure how to do so.
In this CRLT video, Assistant Director Rachel Niemer identifies some common problems with instructors' use of presentation slides and provides concrete strategies for effective slide design, drawing insights from research on how attention, memory, and recall work in a learning environment. One of the most popular videos on our website, her presentation on "PowerPoint Supported by the Science of Learning" offers guidance on:

GSIs across campus are being recognized for their excellent teaching this month. CRLT warmly congratulates winners of Rackham's Outstanding GSI Award and the College of Engineering's Richard and Eleanor Towner Prize for Outstanding GSIs. Selected from large pools of nominees, all of these instructors have demonstrated extraordinary commitment, creativity, and overall excellence in their teaching.
The four Towner awardees were honored at the College of Engineering's Student Leaders and Honors Brunch on March 16. Rackham will be hosting an awards ceremony to honor its nineteen prize-winners, along with outstanding faculty mentors, on April 14. For more information, including the names and departments of all of the winners, see this Rackham page and this College of Engineering page.
As memories of Spring Break fade and we head into the final stretch of winter term, it's a great time to think about student motivation. How effectively are your courses engaging your students and motivating them to learn?
While it can sometimes feel that students simply choose to be engaged or apathetic for their own reasons, the research on motivation clearly indicates that instructor choices significantly affect students' investment in learning. And motivation plays a key role in how effectively students master course material. As Susan Ambrose and her co-authors argue in How Learning Works (Jossey-Bass, 2010), research shows that people are motivated to learn when they:
What teaching strategies do these motivational factors suggest? To help students appreciate the value of the learning goals in your course, you can: Read more »

TCP has become the dominant protocol for all network data transport because it presents a simple uniform data delivery service which is sufficient for most applications over all types of lower network layers. By its very nature, TCP's adaption and retransmission strategies hide all of the details of the lower layers from the application. For example the only symptom of spurious packet loss (or nearly any other network problem) is longer elapsed time and lower performance.
In this paper we present an architecture and infrastructure that provides for per-connection TCP instrumentation to expose otherwise hidden protocol events. We show examples of how the infrastructure can be used in support of research, education and advanced network diagnostic tools.

Some of the New Year's Day celebrations turned violent in South Philadelphia. A 16-year-old girl told police she was raped, and there was a fight, as well.
As the Mummers partied into the night on Second Street Wednesday, police say witnesses heard screams coming from Second and Tree Streets, when they went to investigate they encounter a 16 yr old girl who told police she had been raped.
"This is ridiculous, you know what I mean? You hear guys having arguments and misunderstandings and everything, but nothing like that," Joe Rauch told FOX 29 News.
"That was very upsetting because I have a 13-year-old granddaughter," another neighbor said.
The victim told police a 19-year-old man from the neighborhood allegedly dragged her behind plastic tarps surrounding some scaffolding around 8:30 p.m. She told investigators she was sexually assaulted.
Police say alcohol may be involved. The 19-year-old was taken in for questioning. The incident is still under investigation.
"If they got him, they got him. Whatever he gets he deserves. Believe me," Rauch added.
"It's unfortunate," another neighbor told FOX 29. "I know drinking was involved, but you never know, you don't wish that on anyone, you know?"
South Detectives are also investigating a stabbing at this school yard just a few blocks away at Second and Mifflin. Police say a large fight broke out.
A 19-year-old man from outside the city said he was stabbed in the back after being surrounded by a group of men wearing red and silver dresses with their faces painted silver. The victim was raced to the hospital with a punctured lung.
"To me, it was very calm compared to recent, past years," Colleen Lord said, while she was sweeping up in front of her home on Mifflin.
While other neighbors complained openly about the partying and violence here, they would not go on camera.
Others said there was plenty of police presence here and the usual post Mummers parade celebrations.
"They (police) were all over the place. Good coverage last night, yeah," Rauch said.
"It's people that are not from the neighborhood," one woman said. "It's young kids, like 16 to 20, with their backpacks full of beer and whatever."
Police said they hoped to re-interview the 16-year-old girl later on Thursday.
The man who was stabbed remained hospitalized with a collapsed lung.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Paris Hotel 3655 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910936.128561 -115.171131
Neighborhoods: Paradise
I'm not really a fan of French food, but majority of my group wanted to eat here. The food was pretty good, though it is kind of a scramble to find something more free of French influence. I had the Chicken Paillard which was pretty good. If you sit on the patio, you have a perfect view of the Bellagio's fountain display as well. Besides that I'm not a fan of French food, my only real issue was that I paid in cash and my waitress automatically assumed I did not want any change. I asked her three times for change back over 30 minutes and she kept trying to tell me that she could only give me a certain amount back.
Great ham and cheese crepe – good food, nice view of the Bellagio across the street
Patio Is A Must – As a belated birthday present, I wanted to take my sister to a nice restaurant of her choice. She read about Mon Ami Gabi and wanted to try their breakfast so we made our reservation via Open Table for December 27th at 10 AM. When I made the reservation, there was a box I could write a note to the Maitra D'. I wrote we're celebrating my sister's belated birthday and she wanted to have the breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi. Hoping we could order a dessert and I could ask them for a candle or something for her but when we get there, we're never asked about it at all.
We were there a few minutes early. I don't know how long she's been working for that day but the hostess at the door wasn't very welcoming and didn't even crack a smile. The popular patio was wide open and it was a very nice morning so we decided to have a table out there. She took us to the very end of patio where nobody was around, even though only less than 20% of tables were occupied at the patio. It was still chilly and the heating pole wasn't lit yet. When we asked her about it, she said it should be turned on soon and she left. I was worried if our first experience at Mon Ami Gabi would be like her, stuck up with a horrible attitude. However our waitress came immediately after the hostess left and told us this spot would be too cold for us and the heating pole was not working so she moved us to the right in the center where we're surrounded by three working heating poles. If I were a manager or the owner of the restaurant, I would hire someone at least smiles for the "greeting" hostess. I say the first impression is very important.
Unlike the unfriendly hostess at the door, our waitress was fantastic. She was very friendly and attentive, she made the rest of our M.A.G. experience so much better.
The coffee was pretty good, not too weak but not too strong or bitter. Their fresh squeezed orange juice was also good. I've ordered their crab eggs benedict with breakfast potatoes and my sister ordered chicken and cheese crape. When I saw my eggs benedict's potion, I was not sure if it would fill my big tummy but it did. I didn't see the big chunk of crab meat but it sure did taste like crab and the buttery home fries (breakfast potatoes) were tasty too. My sister's crape had some brie cheese in it and had a very elegant taste.
We're too full to order any desserts but I still wished if they asked me if I wanted to do something for my sister.
By the end of our breakfast, the patio tables were completely full. It was too early for Bellagio's fountain show but still it was fun to watch people who past by. At least we had three or four people who shouted "Viva Las Vegas!" or something like that during our 1.5 hours or so dining time and I thought there were more variety of fun and wacky people out there than my hometown Los Angeles.
The food was good if not exceptionally great. With the fabulous patio seating and the great service we've got from our waitress, we'll be back for breakfast or lunch.
very nice waiter – Food is ok, the outside tables offer a nice view of the fountain. This was the third time when we ate here, and I must say that contrary to the previous two times, the waiter this time was awesome. It was quite a tall guy with a mustache, very professional and who made us feel really welcome and comfortable to be here. We truly enjoyed our meal and felt like we were taken care of the way we supposed to be and even more. So, 5 STARS for the nice waiter, just three stars for the restaurant overall. I think it is overpriced and too phony with their fake French accents.
Amazing – Most romantic restaurant in las vegas. It over looks the Bellagio fountains. The best steak and pepper sauce I have ever had! Very reasonable for such quality food and setting on the las vegas strip.
I recommend you make a reservation. I did have to wait 20 minutes, but that was my fault. This is a MUST GO!
I don't get it – I really wanted to like this place. We chose to have a late-night, romantice dinner here after a show at Caesar's Palace. We arrived around 10 p.m.l prepared to pay about $200 for a memorable meal. We got seated next to a family with two young boys (younger than 6 years old). I know this is Vegas, but really? At 10 p.m.? And of course these boys were obnoxious, loud, and whiny because it was late and this venue was not appropriate for them. We tried to ignore this family only to find that our waiter turned out to be very pushy. It became obvious very quickly that he knew nothing about cuisine or wine, but was clearly trained to upsell everything regardless of the request or desires of the customer. I had looked at the menu earlier in the day and knew exactly what I wanted, however the waiter proceeded to attempt to talk me out of everything. This was very annoying. Basically, we felt this was a TGI Friday's experience for about 5 times the cost.
Great View and Food! – Normally I'd hesitate on giving 5 stars, but for Mon Ami Gabi it is a MUST!
We sat on the patio with a view of the Bellagio fountains. WOW!
Great Service! Always attentive. The waitress was able to explain the menu in perfect detail with great suggestions for us being new to the restaurant.
The food was FABULOUS! There was six of us in our party and all of us we more than happy with our dinners.
I would definitely go back!

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Four Norfolk men are charged with running an illegal high-stakes poker game out of a house in a subdivision along the Elizabeth River.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that the investigation started with a tip last December and led to arrests earlier this month.
According to police, the games of Texas Hold 'em were conducted three nights a week. The minimum buy-in was $100, and the operation raked in about $2,000 a night.
Players who parked at a nearby senior-citizen apartment complex were chauffeured to the house in an SUV. Waitresses offered massages for a dollar minute. Armed security guards, some wearing bullet-proof vests, patrolled the property, and players smoked marijuana on the porch.
Deputy City Attorney Cynthia Hall says such an elaborate operation in a residential neighborhood is unusual.

Our research is focused on understanding of cancer pathogenesis with a particular attention to expression of phenotypical traits in the context of cell lineage development and cellular interactions with microenvironment. Success of such studies greatly depends on the availability of comprehensively characterized immunocompetent mouse models that accurately mimic human cancers. Therefore, we have established a series of genetically defined mouse models of cancers associated with alterations of p53 and Rb tumor suppressors and their pathways. The rationale for choosing these genes is two-fold: (1) alterations in p53 and Rb and/or their pathways occur in over 80% of all human cancers and (2) multiple functions of p53 and Rb have been extensively described and characterized at the molecular and cellular levels providing an appropriate starting point for our studies. Conventional knock out of the Rb gene leads to embryonic lethality, while mice with a single copy of wild-type Rb or complete lack of p53 succumb to rapidly progressing neoplasms with a limited relevance to major human cancers associated with deficiency of these genes. Thus, mouse models allowing cell type-restricted spontaneous or conditional inactivation of p53 and/or Rb have been either generated by our lab or received from other investigators.
Our main areas of interest include understanding the role of stem cell compartment in carcinogenesis, studies of epithelial ovarian cancer pathogenesis and modeling metastasis. We are also interested in pursuing technology-oriented research based on cross-disciplinary collaborations are described below.

I think Revel, Vox and Venture are the most evocative names by far. My favorites are the latter two since Revel I think will very often be misheard as 'revel.'
I don't think Dexter and Vox are too close. If anything, look at the Jolie-Pitts for confirmation (Maddox, Pax and Knox all end with X).
I also think the suggestion of Swift was pretty genius-- a swift is a small bird, and the everyday word means 'fleet,' and it's got a snappy 1-syllable sound.
Surgeons in general are inordinately concerned with people's bowel function (more so than the average person, I grant you). I prescribe fleet's enemas at least twice a week, to people young and old. To me it's the dominant association of the word, and it might be not just for the elderly or for other docs but also for anyone who's ever had surgery (since post-op constipation is present in >80% of patients).
I love the sounds of Vox and Venture together, but wonder if you might salvage Oswald here and stick it in the middle? Vox Oswald Venture sounds great-- you get fusty old Oswald bookended by two sharp modern meaning words starting with V; and your son would get a "standard" name just like his brothers. Oswald himself was a cool historical figure-- a 7th century king who Christianized northeastern England before being slain in battle.
One final thought-- I can't believe Venture isn't used more often. It's a very uplifting word, a noun and a verb, inspiring one to undertake new ad*ventures* and set off into the unknown.
I just love saying it... Vox Oswald Venture Miller....Blade, MD

I'll confess right now and tell you that I'm a newbie to Linux, having moved into a UNIX environment when I changed jobs almost two years ago. Before that I was an embedded systems programmer who worked primarily in a Windows environment. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I'd like to say the UNIX/Linux philosophy has been steadily winning me over. In addition to learning this amazing OS, I've had the opportunity to be exposed to the Python language. Not only do I find Python to be a powerful and expressive tool, but with the addition of wxPython as a GUI extension, I won't be going back to programming the Win32 API.
One of the things I did regularly in my GUI work was develop dialog boxes. Part of my design goal was to make the controls on the dialog boxes interactive, so the behavior of the controls would help my users get their work done. You've probably seen applications that do this, where one or more controls will change state depending on the state of some other control. This kind of interaction can be created by placing code in the event handlers of these controls. However, you'll end up writing a great deal of code in these event handlers to do all of this well. Plus, coding the interaction into the event handler couples the controls together. This means they have to know about each other in order to interact. If your dialog box gets at all complicated, it can lead to a maintenance nightmare. Just picture all of those controls making decisions about what their current state means to all the other controls on the dialog box. Talk about spaghetti code!
When I was creating this kind of dialog box I could see it would lead to a mess, so I wanted to decouple the controls from one another. I also wanted to centralize the interaction code in one place, so changes would have to be updated in only one place. The trick was to decide how to do this. One thing I tried, and I'm sure many others do this as well, was to search the Web to see if anyone had done something similar. What I found were discussions of design patterns and, specifically, the book Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, which I highly recommend to anyone who takes their code seriously. The examples in the book are based on C++, but the concepts apply to many OO-based languages, including Python. The pattern we're going to use as a solution to our dialog box problem is called the Mediator pattern. This pattern encapsulates the interactions of a set of objects.
From an OO point of view, there is one Mediator object containing all the objects that we want to have interact with one another; they are called Colleagues. The Colleagues have a weak reference to the Mediator object and none to each other. The Mediator has strong reference to the Colleague objects and can update them directly in order to create the desired behavior for all Colleague objects. The benefits of this pattern are what we're looking for; it centralizes the interaction of objects and reduces the coupling between them.
The Mediator/Colleague pattern is implemented as an interface that can build actual class objects. The Mediator interface has a method called ColleagueChanged(), which is what all Colleagues call to inform the Mediator that a change has occurred. The Colleague interface has only one required method, called Changed(), which each derived object calls to inform the Mediator that a change in state has occurred. In addition, the Colleague base class has a public data member called mediator, which is a reference to the Mediator object that contains it.
All of that's very nice, but how do we actually implement a dialog box that uses the Mediator/Colleague pattern? We'll do this using Python's OO features and using wxPython as the GUI interface for a window. First things first, though; let's create a Mediator base class:
class Mediator: def __init__(self): pass def ColleagueChanged(self, control, event): self._ColleagueChanged(control, event) def _ColleagueChanged(self, control, event): pass
In this example the Mediator class is implemented as a Template pattern. This pattern allows us to separate the interface and implementation of the class. Users of this class call the CreateColleagues() method but override the _CreateColleagues() method in their derived classes. I won't discuss the Template pattern further, but it's another very useful pattern to know.
Now let's create our Colleague base class:
class Colleague: def __init__(self, mediator): self.mediator = mediator def Changed(self, colleague, event): self._Changed(colleague, event) def _Changed(self, colleague, event): self.mediator.ColleagueChanged(colleague, event)
The Colleague base class is also implemented as a Template pattern. As before, users call the Changed() method but override the _Changed() method, if necessary. In addition, the Colleague has a data member, self.mediator, which is a reference to the containing Mediator instance. This reference is passed into the constructor of the Colleague.
Since our example program is intended to show the utility of the Mediator/Colleague pattern, it's somewhat contrived. To make the example a little simpler I've based the one window of the example on wxFrame from the wxPython library, rather than wxDialog. Otherwise, the code is the same. Because our example program uses wxFrame as the container of the controls, it's the logical choice to be the Mediator. In order to give wxFrame the interface of the Mediator class, we'll create a new class MainFrame that looks like this:
class MainFrame(wxFrame, Mediator): def __init__(self, parent, ID, title): wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(400, 300)) Mediator.__init__(self)
In this code we've created a new class, MainFrame, that inherits from both wxFrame and Mediator base classes. For this to work in Python we have to call explicitly the constructor of both the parent classes. This call is made in the __init__() method of the MainFrame class.
In order for our MainFrame class to interact with its controls as Colleagues, those controls have to be derived from the Colleague base class. As an example, let's create a text control that is also a Colleague object. We do this by creating a new class, myTextCtrl, that looks like this:
class myTextCtrl(wxTextCtrl, Colleague): def __init__(self, mediator, *_args, **_kwargs): apply(wxTextCtrl.__init__, (self,) + _args, _kwargs) Colleague.__init__(self, mediator)
Here we've created a new class that inherits from both wxTextCtrl and Colleague base classes. Again, in order for this to work in Python we have to call explicitly the constructor of both the parent classes. This is done in the __init__() method of myTextCtrl. In order to get all the optional parameters of the wxTextCtrl class properly passed to its constructor, I'll use the apply() function to call its __init__() method and pass in the parameters. The __init__() method of the Colleague base class is called directly, passing mediator as a parameter.
Now we have a class that is both a Colleague and a wxTextCtrl. An instance of this class will receive all the events generated by a wxTextCtrl and also has the behavior of the Colleague class. When an event occurs that our MainFrame object cares about, the event handler calls the Changed() method and passes the self reference and the event as parameters. As defined in the Colleague class, the Changed() method calls the ColleagueChanged() method of the control's Mediator reference. In this way the MainFrame object (which is a Mediator object) is informed of all changes occurring in its contained controls.
So how do we tie all this together in our MainFrame window? First, as we did with myTextCtrl, we must create derived classes of all the controls that will interact on our window that also derive from the Colleague base class. Then, as in most wxPython windows, we must create our controls in the window's constructor; in this case MainFrame's __init__() method. Each time a control is created, MainFrame passes itself as a parameter to the derived control. You'll see this in the complete example program that accompanies this article [available at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue98/5858.tgz]. Don't be dismayed by the amount of code in the MainFrame.__init__() method; a great deal of it calls layout functionality provided by wxPython and is not strictly necessary for our example. It just makes it look nicer.
One thing you should notice I've done in the MainFrame.__init__() method is create a dictionary object called self.__colleagueMap. I've placed sets of key/value pairs into this dictionary consisting of a reference to the created Colleague controls and a method of the MainFrame class. I've done this because Python does not have a switch/case construct like C/C++ has. This dictionary provides an elegant mechanism to call the correct method whenever a Colleague object has changed, without resorting to a lengthy if/elseif construct. You'll see this in the example program in the implementation of the _ColleagueChanged() method, as shown below:
def _ColleagueChanged(self, colleague, event): if self.__inProcess != true: self.__inProcess = true if self.__colleagueMap.has_key(colleague): self.__colleagueMap[colleague](event) self.__inProcess = false
In this code the parameter, colleague, is used as the lookup into the dictionary. If the colleague exists as a key, then the corresponding method is called and the event is passed as a parameter. This is a very slick way to implement a multiway branch like the switch/case construct.
Now our Mediator and Colleague objects exist and are connected together. The Mediator object (MainFrame) will be notified of any relevant event generated by a Colleague object (control). So what's left to do? We have to provide the centralized code that will create the desired interaction between our controls. This work is done in the methods we've placed into the self.__colleagueMap dictionary. Into each method we place the code that reacts to that controls event. Since these methods are part of our Mediator (MainFrame) object, they know about and have access to all other controls on the window.
The example program has been tested under Python versions 2.1 and 2.2, along with their respective wxPython versions. When the example program is run you should see a window open up that looks like the one pictured in Figure 1.
The interaction on the displayed window involves most of the controls. When you type a character in the text box, the program does some simple speed selection and highlights the first entry in the list box that matches. In addition, the Select and Clear buttons become enabled. If you select either a city or state, the complementary selection is made in the other list box. If you select a different region with the radio buttons, that action re-initializes the lists boxes, clears the text box and disables the Select and Clear buttons. Clicking on the Clear button alone clears the text box and disables itself. All of the interaction code is in the MainFrame class, and the controls are not coupled to one another.
Our wxFrame window doesn't do anything very useful, but it does demonstrate how the Mediator pattern can orchestrate the behavior of controls on a window. The real payoff for this effort comes when you apply this pattern to a more involved dialog box, where the interaction complexity can grow at a shocking rate. To manage it, all we have to do is add another control that is derived from the Colleague class and add the corresponding interaction code to our ColleagueChanged() method, and the complexity is handled.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

You have it backwards.
The elites did not have to pay hundreds of dollars to enter the race, more to rent their own hotel rooms, more to reach NYC. They did not have to take time off work for a long weekend. They likely did not train for the better part of a year with this one event as their singular focus. And they probably already have offers (or agents seeking offers) for all-expenses-paid trips to other races in the coming weeks.
For the elites this is an inconvenience at the worst.
The vast majority of runners are actually really screwed and it will impact them in very real ways.

If you come across an accident on an Ontario highway, police say you must attempt to get over for parked emergency vehicles.
Ontario Provincial Police say its officers will be out next week reminding motorists of their obligations to slow down and move over when approaching parked emergency vehicles.
From Dec. 10–13, OPP officers in the Halton, Hamilton and Peel regions will conduct an enforcement campaign aimed at drivers who violate the move over law.
"It's absolutely inexcusable that people still don't get it," Inspector Alison Jevons, commander of the OPP's Burlington detachment, said in a press release.
"This law has been around for nearly a decade".
Jevons said that since 1989, five OPP officers have been killed doing their job on the sides of Ontario roadways and many more have been injured.
Section 159 (2)(3) of the Highway Traffic Act requires drivers to slow down and proceed with caution when passing an emergency vehicle parked on the side of the highway with its lights activated.
If the highway has more than one lane, the law requires the driver to move over and leave one lane between their vehicle and the parked emergency vehicle, if it can be done safely.
Failure to do so can result in fines from $400 to $2,000 and three licence demerit points for a first offence.

i love the last two pieces, always fascinated with the cold, the last two remind me of the antartic, or the emipire strikes back.
your values are great, keep it up!
OHHH. Pretty stuff. I like . Keep it coming.
Nice speedpaintings! Keep doing them and use reference for colors, it will help alot!
Nice work man!
What software are you using? I like the texture you are achieving...
Keep it up
Dude... nice work love that battle scene. you have really good sense of atmospheric perspective. keep up the good work man. ;-)
nice stuffs, i like the mountains!
Cool stuff, I really am digging that gasmask!!!!!!!!!!!!
andy5 & clodioz: thanks a lot!! glad you like those :) actually that gas mask is still one of my faves :gasmask:

Nice work man! That last one is great from the eow. Great sense of atmosphere and depth.
keep it coming!
nice stuff
Yeah that last one is great. Your best imo.
I voted on that one btw;)
Only thing it is missing is a focal point. It would be great to put something in there that makes the whole image more interesting.
thanks epias & anubis!
you're right something to focus on would make it better..might add a little figure later on..:wink:
this was for cgtalk daily sketch "newborn"
just to play with some weird organic shape and shading..also trying to play a bit more with color as my works are always a bit monochromatic
wow you got skill keep it up.
nice little update shardana! That is one creepy little dude and it has a great yucky effect to it.
dude i like your pictures of the random places they are really good
nice enviroments dude! keep up the good work!
love the I luv Daddy
thanks a lot guys! :)
here is one attempt at C.O.W.
Cool environments... I like them. You do a very good job of rendering light through windows. Keep on posting stuff!
thanks for stopping by guys! :)
back to environments so here's the latest..
playing with brushes, lights and color,
hope you like it!:painting:
great sb!!
the previous one kinda inspired me this..I was playing with it until photoshop crashed :uzi2:
luckily I managed to grab a screenshot before it died completely..and now I'm not going to keep working on it so this is what I got..
another go at the COW!
nice works shar,
this enviro is looking especially nice, but i agree about the focal point not being defined. this is one of my favorites, because it has a clear point of interest. i also like the 3 images in post #6.. they are some of your strongest comps, but the saturated magenta is really distracting. imho, they would be great ones to scale up and then paint over.
keep up the good work :)
thanks notspecialist..I should revisit some of my stuff as nothing is really finished..I have to force myself down and take some to a more tidy level..:scribble:
this was made for EOW "command center.."
great speedies!
long time no update..been busy and stuff..
but here's a little one i finished today! :D
an armed commander observes a creature in an apocalyptic landscape..
Last one is very dramatic, good storytelling bud. Allthough maybe if you faded the big dude in the background out ever so slightly it could give the piece more depth. :) keep up the great work my friend!

Article Summary
The Voyager 1 spacecraft launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 continues to add to its impressive list of accomplishments. Its "Grand Tour" through the Solar System has seen it become the first probe to provide detailed images of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn and earn the title of most distant human-made object in the cosmos. After a 33-year journey, Voyager 1 has now crossed into an area at the edge of our Solar System where there is no outward motion of solar wind.

A new iPhone app called Heard (as in "I heard you), is taking audio recording to a new level and raising some eyebrows in the process.
The app automatically records everything within earshot of the iPhone's microphone and keeps it in the device's memory for five minutes. If the user wants to keep the audio, it can be saved, or it will automatically be erased.
Tech expert Shelly Palmer says he doesn't think it's a good app.
The heard app was available for downloading this week, but an Apple representative told us it is offline because of technical issues, though there is high demand for it and it will be available again soon.
The app's creator explained to Fox 5 why a person needs it when the iPhone already has recording options.
