The tradition of immersing idols may soon be ripped off puja celebrations with the National Green Tribunal (NGT) taking cognizance of an application by environment activist Subhas Datta, seeking a ban on this 'method'. Datta refuses to call idol immersion a 'ritual'. In his application, the activist claimed that the 'ritual part of immersion' is completed at the place of worship itself. According to him, immersion processions and the 'throwing' of idols into rivers have now become superfluous, gorgeous, colourful, competitive and polluting, which aren't backed by religious necessity.
Despite all the hue and cry about eco-friendly idol immersions, especially during the last two years, the people and municipal corporation have failed to save their lakes. The dissolved oxygen (DO) levels

The quarterfinals of the 2013 US Open Cup kicks off tonight as FC Dallas hosts the new MLS league-leaders Portland Timbers.
Both teams were busy over the weekend in MLS as Dallas hosted Sporting KC to the tune of a 2-2 draw while Portland played on Sunday in a 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids.
Recapping the last round
Dallas advanced in the fourth round of the USOC thanks to a big win over rivals Houston Dynamo. Kenny Cooper scored two goals and Zach Loyd added the third.
Portland went through the fourth round thanks to a 2-0 win over NASL side Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Quick Scouting of Portland
It is like we just saw them huh? Portland comes into town on a 15-game unbeaten run in league play and are doing well outside of the league as they've advanced this far in the US Open Cup. But they also have had some quick turn arounds to deal with too in the schedule. This will be their 8th game of the month and third in three days.
Figuring out who Portland will go with tonight is a bit of a toss up. Mamdauo Fotty Danso looks to be a sure bet to start in the middle of the defense since he was held out of Sunday's win over Colorado. Michael Harrington on the other hand likely isn't 100% to start on the flanks.
Will Johnson and Diego Chara have logged a ton of minutes as of late while Diego Valeri has been held out of some matches. Will Caleb Porter go with all three? I doubt it, I just don't see all three of them going the full 90 in this one though it wouldn't shock me to see them all on the field at some point in this game.
Up the field we'll almost certainly see FC Dallas-killer Darlington Nagbe. Porter would be a fool not to start him in my book, given how well he has done against Dallas in his career.
Lineup projection for Portland
Donovan Ricketts; Ryan Miller, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Futty Danso, Jack Jewsbury; Will Johnson, Diego Valeri, Ben Zemanski; Darlington Nagbe, Ryan Johnson, Rodney Wallace
Lineup projection for Dallas
The five internationals rule for the US Open Cup makes thing interesting for Schellas Hyndman. With that, we'll likely see a couple changes to what we saw on Saturday against Sporting KC.
Chris Seitz; Zach Loyd, Walker Zimmerman, George John, Jair Benitez; Michel, Andrew Jacobson, Jackson, Fabian Castillo, Ramon Nunez, Blas Perez
Keys to advancing
Dallas has to keep things simple and in their own offensive end to win this game. Portland has the talent and skill to be be very dangerous and seeing as how they won't have another league match to deal with for a couple weeks, they can likely pull out all the stops in this one.
I think the wide game is key for Dallas. Obviously this will be the first game against Portland that Hyndman will have a fairly healthy attack and he could easily choose to go with David Ferreira over Ramon Nunez. But with the weekend looming, I think Nunez is a good fit to throw a curve ball at Portland. Nunez also showed very well late in the game on Saturday against Sporting KC.
Defensively, Dallas will have to do a lot of what they did in their last meeting with the Timbers. Stay in front of their attacker sand find ways to eliminate the passing lanes. Portland loves to possess the ball as much as possible and they certainly will get their chances. Where Dallas can capitalize on that is on the counter. Kenny Cooper, Blas Perez and Jackson need to have big games up front for this to work.
(Keep it here for the latest on this match, we'll be providing a live-match thread tonight!)

Sen. Marco Rubio's impromptu water break during the Republican response to the State of the Union on Tuesday caused a stir on Twitter.Around 11 minutes into his speech, the Florida senator appeared to get a little dry-mouth, so he not-so-subtly reached for a bottle of water that was placed off camera. He then took a swig and returned to his speech. (CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE TO WATCH THE SIP)The moment didn't go unnoticed online. Stevie B. tweeted: "I don't often drink water, but when I do it's Poland Springs- Marc Rubio""People are making a big deal out of #rubio's gaffe but I'm sure next week it will all just be water under the bridge," tweeted Stephen Kosloff."I think someone put Rubio's Water Bottle on Clint Eastwood's chair," said Amy Haberland.Some didn't find humor in the incident."If Marco rubio's water break was the biggest fault the liberals can find in his speech , I'd say Rubio did a pretty dang good job," said Ryan Wirsing.For his part, Rubio didn't run from the issue; he tweeted a picture of the now infamous Poland water bottle.

Scorpio women are hard-to-know at first, but they also love meeting people who intrigue them. Your best shot at wooing the enigmatic Scorpio woman is to be fascinating to her love of mystery and power.
Scorpio is a sign that dances with power and surrender. She will be testing you for strength, and sizing you up as a potential lover. This sign has an intense urge to merge. And yet, she wants to be sure of what she's giving over to -- in you.
She's not going to stick around too long if you play up your insecurities. She also wants to discover who you are, not have it handed to her on a platter. She's drawn to those with traits of determination, ambition, sexual confidence, profound spirituality and self-control.Don't Tell All:
It's a known dating faux pas not to run down your dating history, especially if you're tempted to present it in a "loser" light. That goes double when on a date with the Scorpio woman. The Scorpio woman may even be horrified at your spilling of sexual secrets, since it's a sign of how you'd treat a relationship with her. She wants a discreet man who won't betray her secrets to others. So on a first date, you might want to:
- Keep the conversation on neutral, but very interesting topics.
- Tell her about your accomplishments.
- Wear a subtle, but musk-y cologne.
- Watch her eyes for clues to her interest.
- Respond to body language and suggestive looks.
- Here are 3 dozen more Scorpio Love Tips.
The Scorpio woman is a mesmerizer who enjoys playing with her sexual power. It's best to avoid coming on too strong or too soon. Let there be space there for her desire to grow, and intensified with sensual looks and touches. She responds to a subtle 'slow hand' lover, over one that acts on impulse.
A big issue for Scorpio women is respect. They are all-or-nothing when it comes to giving themselves. So they want to know a man can handle their passion, and won't bail if it gets intense. That's why a slow build, where trust is the foundation, is better than taking chances of getting hurt. She responds to gestures of devotion, but not ones that are sentimental or cutesy.
In fact, even though Scorpio is a water sign (feelings), there is a definite realism, about their attitude. They are quick to spot boasters, that have no real life experience to back it up. Often Scorpio women have a solid sense of their strengths and weaknesses. You might find it pays to be frank about your own, without falling into either extreme -- of self-pity or overconfidence.You've Got Her Back
A Scorpio woman can be serious, and doesn't liked to be teased when she's wrestling with something heavy. She responds well to someone that respects her inner needs, and that there are times to go deep. If you understand the ebb and flow, you can give her the space she needs to work it out.
Scorpio women are focused do-ers, and often have a very pragmatic view of life. They may see into the layers of a situation psychically, but they are grounded in realities. They admire men who are also determined, productive, and don't waste their natural talents. In other words, they like men who've got it going on.
Steady and Soulful
Scorpio is a fixed sign, and like others in this category (Taurus, Leo, Aquarius), they often gravitate to what will be ongoing. So, in a time of hook-ups and one nighters, the Scorpio woman only really shows her true vulnerability in a bond of trust.

For the second straight year, and only the third time ever, the Final Four will include a team that lost to USF during the regular season. That team is Louisville, who beat Florida in the West Regional final in Phoenix, but lost to USF on February 29.
Last year's First-Four-to-Final-Four Virginia Commonwealth team lost an overtime game to a USF team that would end up 10-23.
The other Final Four team with a loss to USF on its dossier? Wisconsin in 2000.

Over at Baseball America, Tim Coulter of Pittsburgh asked Jim Callis "Who will be the next Pirates prospect to break out?" To no one's surprise, Jim nominated Alen Hanson, describing him as a "a legitimate prospect and a terrific breakout candidate." Right now Hanson is hitting 0.400 with isolated power of 0.400 as well.
The good folks over at Pirates Prospects agree. A piece over there offers four glowing appraisals from several writers: Callis, Mayo, Goldstein, and Sickels. There's broad agreement that Hanson's arm will not play at shortstop in the majors, but he's very athletic.
Now 61 plate appearances does not a season make, but there were flashes last year in the GCL. Hanson had an OPS+ of 127, isolated power of 0.167, and stole 25 bases. His average was just 0.264, but that was with a remarkably low BABIP (given his speed) of 0.311.
For me it was Callis's assessment of other players that was most encouraging: "My top breakout picks among pitchers aren't off to scintillating starts at West Virginia, but keep an eye on righthander Nick Kingham and lefty Zack Dodson." Not news, but nice to see confirmation.
From what I see, WV is filled with real prospects. Who's your favorite candidate to break out?

12 men arrested over alleged plot 'to steal millions'
Twelve men have been arrested over an alleged plot to steal millions of pounds from a bank - but not in the old fashioned way.
A member of the gang is accused of going into a Surrey Quays bank dressed as an IT worker, then fitting a special device to a computer in the branch, which could have led to them pulling off a multi-million pound heist remotely. But the police were watching. Nick Thatcher has the details.

The extracts on this page are taken from selected national newspapers. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Manchester United.
James Lawton writes in The Independent...
Naturally there is plenty of focus on Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir's decision to send off Nani and Sir Alex Ferguson's decision not to speak to the press. However, there was plenty of praise for United's performance collectively and individually. James Lawton, in the Independent, described Ryan Giggs as "the man who runs for ever" and says Danny Welbeck "suggests so often that he might well have precisely the same facility".
Praising Giggs, The Guardian's Jamie Jackson writes: "The recalibration of the Giggs game from youthful zephyr to midfield general has been one of modern football's greatest second acts. Approaching 40, he is the warrior in the United ranks who can still offer so much."
The Times pundit Tony Cascarino praised Danny Welbeck's performance, saying: "No matter where Welbeck popped up, he was intelligent and industrious; wherever he was, he made sure he asked questions of his opponents. Welbeck, with his speed and his directness, has always made defenders make decisions, but there is more to him than just a natural athlete. He is far smarter now."
The Daily Mail's Martin Keown also spoke of Welbeck's promising display, adding: "His movement off the ball was excellent, his pace was electric and his link-up play with van Persie was intelligent."

TOMAH, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Tomah Police are warning residents about a scam that involves IRS tax refunds.
Lt. Mark Nicholson said that they've gotten reports that people are receiving e-mails from the IRS asking to fill out a form to get a tax refund. The form asks for personal and financial information.
It's what's known as a 'phishing' scam, where criminals take that information to steal money from victims, run up charges on credit cards, or even file fake tax returns to get refunds that belong to the victim.
Lt. Nicholson said the IRS doesn't send e-mails to taxpayers about refunds, nor require anyone to fill out any special forms to get a refund.
Anyone receiving a questionable e-mails claiming to come from the IRS should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the e-mails. Instead, Lt. Nicholson suggests forwarding the e-mails to email@example.com or notify Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration toll-free hotline at 1-800-366-4484.
Both organizations work with the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team and various Internet service providers to have the phishing sites taken offline as soon as they are reported.

Facts about Webster
- Breed: Australian Shepherd/Beagle Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is Webster!
Webster's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
r>Hi everyone! I'm Webster! I was a tiny puppy when I was rescued from Paulding County Animal Control. My mom was an Australian Shepherd mix, and maybe my dad was a Beagle mix of some kind (somemtimes I have that adorable hooowl!). My white fur is beautiful and softer than you could believe! Luckily, I got be to an AARF dog, which means I get lots of love and snuggles in my foster home. I LOVE the other dogs in my foster home, and I even get along great with my kitty foster siblings. In fact, I really need to go to a forever home that already has a dog (or dogs!). I am five years old and have grown up in the AARF program. While I love and enjoy my life, I'm a pretty nervous guy. I guess you could compare my condition to autism. I'm very sweet and loving but new situations make me so nervous! I love spending time in my crate - it is the safest place in the world. When I'm out of it, I need to be around my doggie foster siblings. They're very good at teaching me how to be a regular dog. My ideal situation would be to a forever home with someone who has a lot of patience. Someone who understands I need the safety of my crate sometimes an to take life slow with me until I hit my stride. I just need somebody to take a chance on me! Don't miss out - I'm so sweet and have a lot of love to give!
All the adoptable AARF dogs are in foster homes to get them ready for their forever homes. If you are interested in meeting one of our adorable pooches, please fill out our adoption application and we'll get back to you with any questions. Then we can schedule a time for the two of you to meet!

Chinese President Hu Jintao told his South Korean counterpart Lee Myung-bak on Monday that his government attempted several in-depth talks with Pyongyang to express its "deep concern" over the North's planned rocket launch.
Hu added Beijing is urging Pyongyang to give up the rocket launch plan and focus on improving the livelihood of its people. Regarding the controversial issue of Beijing's repatriation of North Korean defectors arrested in China, Hu said his country is "taking a lot of interest and giving consideration" to the issue. It "respects the position" of South Korea and will "strive to ensure that the issue is resolved smoothly."
Judging from Hu's comments as quoted by a South Korean official, China is taking a more positive line on the North Korean missile and defector issues. But the position will not become fully clear until Chinese media reports about the summit are released. Read More

Kevin Iole discusses the plans Dana White had for Fedor if he had come to the UFC undefeated with Steve Cofield.
Iole believes that a Fedor vs Brock event (before Fedor lost) would have had an excellent chance to break the all-time UFC PPV record of 1.7 million orders.
He says that Dana White told him they had thought about staging Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko in Dallas Stadium. The full interview is in the extended entry.
Just wanted to point this out to show that I wasn't crazy to say that the UFC lost big when Fedor lost.
Meanwhile, others are saying that Fedor would have beat Lesnar on Saturday. Here's Eddie Goldman (via Fight Opinion):
"I also think that, had Lesnar fought Fedor, that same night Fedor would have dropped him and when they went to the ground Fedor would have submitted him one way or another, much like he submitted Tim Sylvia. Or he could have just punched him out and that's the same Fedor who comes with a flat tire around his middle a lot and there is a question also about his cardio. And if I bothered to examine it more closely, I could come up with a list of a bunch of other people who could have defeated Brock Lesnar this past Saturday night. You think of Alistair Overeem would have done the same thing and he would have been able to submit Lesnar on the ground and I think that Fabricio Werdum would have been able to have submitted Lesnar from the bottom, just like he did with Fedor Emelianenko."
I tend to agree with Goldman. I didn't see anything from Lesnar or Carwin that make me think they would walk through any of Strikeforce's top heavyweights. I think they'd have a great chance to beat Fedor, Werdum or Overeem, but I don't think it's a given.
Lesnar's cringing and cowering straight back while under fire is a sure way to get KTFO'd by a more polished striker. Something even Werdum could do. If I'm Fabricio Werdum, I look at Brock Lesnar and see a faster version of Antonio "Big Foot" Silva. Someone who won't be able to do much damage to me on the ground and will fade when the knees to the face start landing in the Thai clinch.
Regardless, it was a great fight this weekend, but I'm not seeing anything that convinces me that Brock Lesnar is the toughest man alive.

The importance of Marshall McLuhan and his communication theories cannot be overstated, but his written works—dense, at times even daunting— are more often cited than read. Nonetheless, his predictions have been borne out: in the early 1960s, McLuhan wrote that visual, individualistic print culture would be replaced by what he called "electronic interdependence," creating a new "global village" characterized by a collective identity with a tribal base. Novelist Douglas Coupland regards the celebrated academic as primarily an artist, a kind of performance artist offering profound but sometimes obscure insights into how technology was reshaping the world and its inhabitants. Coupland—prolific novelist, sculptor, visual artist, theatre performer—is a true child of McLuhan, whose body of work examines and often embodies McLuhan's famous aphorism that "the medium is the message." Written with his trademark humour and brilliance, Coupland's McLuhan is a revelation.
"While McLuhan would have been horrified at just how right he'd been about the strange new world communications technology has created, perhaps he would be comforted to know it could produce a cultural commentator as witty and wonderful as Coupland."
—New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal
"...I think it's the best of the Extraordinary Canadians series thus far, both for its readability and for its meditations on writing biography in the 21st century."
—Alex Good, Toronto Star
Coupland's considerable achievement is making one understand both the momentousness of McLuhan's intellectual achievement and the quirkiness of the Canadian crucible that nurtured and gave sustenance to it. Bravo.
—Montreal Gazette
Douglas Coupland's first novel, Generation X, was published in March 1991. Since then he has published nine novels and several non-fiction books in thirty-five languages and most countries on earth. He has presented as a visual artist, with exhibitions in spaces in North America, Europe, and Asia. 2006 marks the premiere of the feature film Everything's Gone Green, his first story written specifically for the screen and not adapted from any previous work. A TV series based on his novel jPod premiered on the CBC in January 2008. His most recent novel is The Gum Thief. He lives in Vancouver, B.C.

Cyber-Gracious Posts by Anonymous Teens Practice Kindness Not Cruelty
The Facebook post read as follows: "Zari Press goes out of her way to be nice to everyone and I think she's just the coolest."
By all accounts, Zari Press, Friends School senior and class co-president, does seem like a nice girl. Nonetheless, the flattering words appear somewhat out of character for a Facebook post written by a teenager.
Facebook, after all, has earned the infamous reputation as the social media outlet of choice for teens intent on slinging insults at their peers. When taken to extremes, this form of cyber bullying results in some damaging consequences to defenseless targets—ranging from deep humiliation to emotional damage; even suicide.
As cowards usually do, 'cyber bullies' act anonymously. But now, in a positive turn of events, come reports of high school and college students posting Facebook messages anonymously about their peers. Only this time, they're all good.
These messages are called, aptly, 'compliments' pages. The first one appeared last year, when four undergraduates at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada set up a profile page on their university's Facebook page, to which students anonymously submit compliments about classmates.
Just a few weeks ago, Friends Upper School students began receiving anonymous compliments via the Frendz Skool Compliments Facebook page, causing a buzz on the Baltimore campus as classmates try to figure out who's behind the kind gesture.
"When it first started I messaged the people who run it offering my help and RAK's support, but they said they would like to remain anonymous," said Press, who is in the RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) club at Friends.
"It has to be more than one person," she guessed, since to date over 550 compliments have been posted to the compliments page. "We think it's a group of students, probably underclassmen, who have more time on their hands [than seniors] to take this task on," she said.

Hello developers,
My application uses the log engine on Series 60 to get the number of calls, who called how long etc. Then I do some calculation on the calls.
My problem is that the log engine seems to remove the calls from the log automatically after one or two weeks. Is this documented somewhere??
If this is true, it would mean that I have to copy the entries from the log engine into my own application's database... Any suggestions how to do this the best way?
Greetings, Alexander.

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - Authorities say three children were hurt when a 77-year-old man drove his sport-utility vehicle into the side of a day care in central Pennsylvania.
William Landis was visiting an ATM in a parking lot in East Petersburg around noon Thursday. Police say that, for an unknown reason, he ended up driving the SUV across the parking lot, over a gravel embankment, through a fence and into the side of the Wee Care Day Care.
The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era reports three children, ages 3 and 4, suffered moderate injuries. Landis was also hurt.
Manheim Township police say there were a dozen children in the room at the time of the accident. Sgt. Tom Rudzinski says police are working to figure out exactly what happened.

Lockout News
More News
After over two months of little or no activity, it appears the NBA is making legitimate progress on the lockout. Not only is there a higher level of optimism than ever before, David Stern and Billy Hunter are smiling again! I don't know about you, but this seems like great news, especially for someone who just bought 20 game tickets in May. Check out the link for a more detailed explanation on the events. Meetings are to resume bright and early on Tuesday morning.

NICOSIA - Cyprus is anxiously waiting for the Troika delegation to arrive to sign a bailout deal before the November 12 deadline, otherwise the government will run out of cash fast.
And as the pressure mounts to agree terms for EU financial aid, President Christofias yesterday sounded a more conciliatory tone over the matter than in previous weeks.
"We are not begging the Troika to come to Cyprus, but we are inviting it to come, since we have applied for financial assistance," he told reporters after meeting some party leaders.
"Of course, we are guided by several positions and strategic principles that we have set."
Central Bank governor Panicos Demetriades said "substantial progress" had been made in talks with lenders in the last few days, although some issues remain pending.
"I anticipate the Troika will be in a position to come to Cyprus soon with the purpose of finalising the financial assistance programme."
A reform programme, especially for Greek exposed banks, being discussed contained some of the most significant changes since the inception of the Republic, Demetriades said.
Responding to criticism of delays over the search for consensus, Demetriades said: "It is vital these reforms have the legitimacy they deserve to have."
Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou saιd the Troika is expected to visit Cyprus next week, however the exact date has not yet been finalised.

Six weeks ago I saw a tweet about a new thing from Codecademy called Code Year. It promised to teach you how to code in 2012. I signed up right away and am now one of 396,103 people who have signed up as of this moment.
Like a good MIT graduate, I've procrastinated. When I was an undergrad, I liked to say things like "I want to give all of my fellow students a four to six week handicap." Yeah – I was the dude that blew off too many classes at the beginning of the semester. I did read everything so I eventually caught up pretty quickly, but fortunately MIT drop date was late in the semester so I had plenty of option value on bailing if I'd left things too long.
Every week for the past six weeks I've been diligently getting an email from Code Year saying my next lesson was ready. Tonight, after dinner, I decided to tackle week 1 and see if this was an effective way to learn JavaScript. While I'm able to program in PHP and Python, I've never learned JavaScript. I'm not really proficient in either language (PHP or Python) since I don't write any production code anymore, but I'm comfortable with the syntax and have done my share of simple little things. JavaScript – not so much. And that seems silly to me since so many people that I hang out with eat JavaScript for breakfast.
Week 1 was trivial. I liked the Code Year lessons and the Codecademy UI is very good. I've scored 350 points, have completed 42 (simple) exercises, and have four badges, I only did the lessons for week 1; I've left the problems for another time to see if the syntax actually sinks in.
I been spending some time with friends in Boulder talking about different approaches to teaching people how to program. One of the initiatives, which is starting to pick up speed, is called the Boulder Software School. Within the group we've been pointing at things like Code Year, but I don't know if any of us have actually given it a shot. So – in the spirit of experimenting, I'm on it. It'll be interesting to see if any real proficiency with JavaScript emerges, or if I just learn the syntax for another programming language that puts angle brackets in funny places to delimit conditional statements.
As I embarked on my journey to learn python, I began by exploring a number of different approaches. I finally settled on using "beginner's mind" (shoshin to those of you out there that know anything about Zen Buddhism).
Rather than just dive in and build on my existing programming skills and experience, I decided to start completely from scratch. Fortunately, MIT's Introductory Computer Science class (6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming) is available in its entirety – including all 24 lectures – on MIT's OpenCourseWare.
I fired up Lecture #1 (Goals of the course; what is computation; introduction to data types, operators, and variables) and spent an enjoyable hour remembering what it was like to be in 10-250. If you want a taste, here's the lecture.
The lectures are all up on iTunes so I'm going to watch #2 on my way from Keystone to Boulder this morning (Amy is driving). I've got plenty of reading to do and I look forward to diving into the problem sets.
While watching the lecture, Professor Eric Grimson reminded me that this was not a course about "learning Python", rather it was a course aimed at providing students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. A side benefit is that I will learn Python and – in Eric's words – "feel justifiably confident of [my] ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals."
Beginner's Mind can be a powerful thing.
January's Tech Theme of the Month is going to be Python. I realize it's still December; I decided to get a head start.
Last month's tech theme was videoconferencing. I learned a lot, including the unfortunate continued split between low end and high end and general lack of ability to have a single universal solution. Oh – and bandwidth still matters a lot. I expect by the end of January we'll have much better videoconferencing infrastructure set up at Foundry Group with the single goal of eliminating some travel.
I've thought about learning Python for a while. I don't code much anymore and I regularly find myself wishing I could do something with a simple UI and heavy back-end processing – mostly to move data between web services that I use via the web services APIs. I stopped programming around 1993 although I occasionally had to dive back in and support something that I had previously written until the late 1990′s, when I stopped for good because I simply had no time. As a result, the languages I feel like I have mastery over are BASIC, Pascal, Scheme, and Dataflex and the corresponding environment that I'm comfortable developing in ends with MS-DOS and Novell Netware. While I did stuff in plenty of other languages as a result of courses I took (IBM 370 assembler, SAS, Fortran) or projects I had to figure out (PL/SQL + Oracle, Paradox, dBase), I don't feel like I did enough with these to claim mastery.
Every couple of years, I fuck around with a new language and environment. PHP is the one that has stuck the best and I can read it and hack around if necessary. But I don't really like PHP – it feels sloppy and I constantly am having to look up syntax because it's not comfortable to me. I went through a "ok – I'll figure out Ruby on Rails" phase a few summers ago but stalled when I realized that Rails wasn't a particularly practical environment for what I wanted to play around with.
Python may be a miss for me, but when I look at Python code I feel very comfortable with the syntax. A few folks that I know that are like me (e.g. not developers anymore, but were once, and occasionally bust out an IDE to hack on something) swear by Python. But the biggest motivation for me was that 6.01 is now taught using Python.
In 1984, I took 6.001: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. This is the first computer science class most MIT students take. I had written a lot of software, including several commercially released products, almost entirely in BASIC (with a little Pascal and assembly.) 6.001′s programming language of choice was Scheme (a LISP dialect) and working with it was an epiphany for me. I continued to write commercial apps in BASIC and started using a 4GL called Dataflex, but my coding approach was heavily influenced by what I learned in 6.001. The abstractions you could build in BASIC, if you tried, were surprisingly good and Dataflex was a remarkably robust 4GL – very UI constrained, but very powerful (and fast compared to everything else at the time.)
So – if you look at my history, I'm comfortable with imperative languages. I got a good dose of functional programming from MIT but never did anything with it commercially. And I stopped developing software before object-oriented programming became popular. Python feels like a mix of imperative and functional when I look at it and read about it so I'm optimistic that I can use my regular programming muscles without having to fight through the OOP stuff that I don't really know and doesn't feel natural to me.
MIT has an IAP course (the MIT January session) titled 6.189: A Gentle Introduction to Programming Using Python. As with many MIT courses, it's available on MIT OpenCourseWare so I'm going to take the course over the next month and see how it goes.
If you are a Python expert and have any suggestions for sites, tools, or blogs I should pay attention to, please leave them in the comments.
More from our friends Nate and Natty at Everlater – this time on debugging.
One of the most important techniques we used when learning how to code is debugging. It allowed us to do two things: fix our own code when it was broken and parse through others' code to better understand how they were doing things.
From a backend perspective, debugging is essential. When I first started writing code, I would write what I *thought* was the correct way to do it. Ninty-nine times out of a hundred I was wrong and the code would blow up with some ugly exception that I had no clue about. Copying and pasting the exception into google got me decent mileage, but the real silver bullet I discovered was just start from the beginning of the method and step through it using the ruby debugger and figure out where I had gone wrong. Almost always I had forgotten to assign some variable or I was calling a method that did something different than I thought.
The other huge thing that is related is that I read and still read copious amounts of open source code written by other people. I'm better at understanding it now, but at the beginning I would take a debugger and walk through the code myself to try to figure out exactly how their code was working so I could make my own code better.
This is super important on the front end as well. Using tools like firebug or web inspector to take apart existing sites and figure out how they're doing something or making something beautiful is a great way to learn better techniques for front end development. They're also essential for figuring out how to fix a layout when it's broken, or how to figure out why an ajax request didn't respond the way you would expect.
This is a great, free resource to use when learning how to program and really helped us to bridge the gap from a basic programming book to what current philosophies on development were. A huge hat tip goes out to Jeffrey Kalmikoff for posting a comment on a previous post in this series that made me remember how important this is.
Somewhat related are tools that help you keep your code/team in order. By far the most important is a good version control system. This is something that they don't ever teach even in college classes, but it's hugely critical to building a project in the real world. We use git at Everlater and it's been an amazing choice. When coupled with GitHub, it makes working even in a team of two seamless even if you're working on almost the same code.
Also important is some way of keeping track of the quality of your code as your project grows. This includes a good issue tracker (we simply use the to-do list feature of the free version of Basecamp), and a good way to know when there's something wrong in your application (Hoptoad is great for Rails devs.)
I know it's been a few weeks since my last Nate and Natty / Everlater post on learning to program. I've gotten a few notes asking for more – expect a couple of posts over the next few days. In the mean time, here's Nate's view on how to divide tasks between partners – in this case him and Natty.
Having good systems in place around your coding is just as important as the coding itself. Natty and I spent a huge chunk of our time figuring out a great workflow that would allow us to program more effectively, and we think it's paid huge dividends over the lifespan of Everlater.
The first and most important decision we made was to work together and divide the tasks we had to learn in half. I (Nate) took most of the backend server tasks — everything from SysAdmin stuff to Ruby/Rails and a good chunk of the javascript that interacted with the server too, and Natty took everything that appears to the user — everything from learning Photoshop/Illustrator to HTML/CSS and quite a bit of javascript as well.
Nothing too special about our division of labor, but it bears worth repeating that this worked well because we worked so closely together to make sure that the other person still had an idea about what was going on. I needed to know the basic structures of the HTML Natty was creating so I could work on the javascript, and Natty needed to know a good deal of Ruby for creating and displaying the content coming out of the database. We've worked on how we pass work back and forth, and while I believe it's pretty personal, having some basic workflow where you have several stages of planning, we do something like this:
- Mock up the pages super roughly with pen and paper and figure out the different database models
- Do Photoshop mockups and build the routes and models
- Actually build the pages in HTML/CSS and build out the controller actions associated with each view
- Finishing touches (usually javascript), and testing
At each point in the process Natty and I would sit down and talk about how it was going, and implement our side of the task. It bears repeating that this is also a highly personal part of learning how to program. The following worked very well for Natty and I but other people might be better off pair programming the whole thing, work at completely different speeds, etc. The most important thing is thinking about the workflow in general and making sure it's a conscious decision rather than something that just happens.

Measuring the impact of public service reform
Runnymede has been commissioned by TUC, UNISON, Unite, PCS, UCU and NASUWT to look at race equality and public service reform. Through this project we aim to assess the impact of cuts on the profile of the public sector workforce, to connect individuals and organisations working to promote equality through this difficult period, and to provide up to date monitoring data to inform employers and government about the impact of their choices and hold them to account under their equality legislation responsibilities.
There are 4 elements to this project.
A research paper exploring the likely impact of public sector cuts on minority ethnic workers
An online survey to collect information from union branch representatives across public services in England
An online guide to monitoring public sector cuts for union branch representatives by Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard and Ojeaku Nwabuzo
A final report that includes findings from the survey and human interest stories from public sector workers

3.8/5 rDev +10.8%
A: Pours a somewhat cloudy orange-amber color. The tall head has a burnt orange tint and a densely foamy texture. Retention is good, and some pleasant rings and webs of lacing stick to the glass.
S: Some pale and caramel malt aroma up front before a rather vibrant hop aroma takes over, with substantial citric (especially orange), fruity, and resiny character. A tangy bit of esters from the yeast is detectable.
T: Lightly grainy and moderately sweet maltiness up front, with a bit of caramel flavor. Hop bitterness is initially medium, with a nice, vibrant hop flavor. Citric and resiny notes are most prominent, with some fruity and floral undertones. There is a very faint tartness before a mild alcoholic punch at the finish, which also becomes increasingly bitter.
M: Fairly full bodied. Carbonation is fine and smooth. The finish becomes dry due to the hop bitterness, and a bit of alcohol warmth is detectable.
D: This is an enjoyable, if somewhat heavy, IPA. I like the hop bill, and it also works well with the malt bill. The body is a little heftier than I'd like, and the bitterness, while enjoyable, isn't as clean as in some other IPAs. These aren't bad things, but together they add up to create some rough edges.

A 16oz bottle poured into an imperial pint glass. The beer was a dark copper color with a medium-sized tan head. A good amount of lace.
Mostly a citrus aroma, with some sweet malt.
In the taste there was a tiny hint of caramel, followed by biscuit. Overwhelming taste, though, was grapefruit.
A nice hoppy IPA. Fun to drink.

Dark amber-orange with a low-slung stained white head. It retreats towards the surface, but leaves a great deal of lace behind.
Crunchy, brown leaves, crusty bread, old pennies, caramel, toffee, dates, and a peppery grassiness dots the nose. It's not a particularly assertive aroma, and had this not just arrived in stores, I'd question it's age (and I felt the same about Hinterland's Pale Ale).
Into the mouth, it's wetly doughy and semi-sweet with caramel and Fig Newtons. Malt is the driving engine here with toasted and burnt toast breadiness with a splattering of sweeter nuances. A vague, stewed apple and date fruitiness gathers in the middle. It's like an ESB or Old Ale with hops that don't quite jive. They bring a moderately bitter, rusted tin and pine bark acridity, along with muddy smears of orange peel and dried leaf herbality.
The medium+ plus body adds some needed character. This is a weird one. It carries some rustic charm and is actually kinda drinkable once the acclimation process is complete. I can't recommend it as an IPA, English or American. It's like a buddy's off-base, but not racid homebrew. Fuck it, let's drink.
As a general rule: It seems that Hinterland's non-hop-focused offerings are the ones to seek out.

Drank off a firkin dry hopped with appollo hops.
Poured a dirty amber with a creamy perfect cask head.
The nose was very aggressively dankly hopped. Very green and piney.
The flavor is agressively green and dank, very bitter and piney, just tons of fresh hops. Very hoppy and bitter, but not overwhelming even with almost no malt flavor.
Very creamy with lots of resin.
Fun cask beer.

Nitro always makes a nice pour. Bright orange and cascading, settling carbonation. It leaves a frothy off white head with excellent retention.
Pleasant but weak aromas if citrus and lilac. Toasted crackers.
The flavor has a little more punch, again with a nice balance of citrus and floral notes. A little pine in the back end. Bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel on nitro is out of this world. Soft and creamy.
I've had this bottled and it's mediocre. On nitro it's very good.

3.05/5 rDev -11.1%
Apparently a new arrival in the market, thankfully it will be fresh.
Bright and clear copper orange, thin wispy skim on the surface. Weak patchy blanket of foam that doesn't stick around more than a few seconds, oddly enough. Clinging string of bubbles around the edges, no lace. Ho hum.
Smells like dried citrus peel, orange mostly. Some light maltiness under that too.
Low level bitterness, it comes off more as an English IPA right off the bat. Mild, with more maltiness than hop character. Mild citrus rind, grassy pine bitterness in the aftertaste, but it's understated. Toffee, caramel, the usual specialty malt flavors with hops as second fiddle though there's some underlying spicy tea notes. Lower carbonation. Overall it's playing way too safe to be an American IPA, and leans more toward a milder English rendition. Not something i'd seek out again.

16 oz bottle poured into a Hinterland stange.
A - Faintly hazy, Hinterland's IPA is deep golden honey hued and topped by a dense, frothy, well-retained off-white head. Heavy, chunky lace remains on the glass as the sturdy pile of foam slowly plateaued.
S - Dirty grapefruit rind and ripe, whole pineapple dance between earthy and tropical fruit notes with heavy grassy resin finishing the hop aroma out before biscuity malt balances the beer. Nice hop notes are there but this one could stand quite a bit more dry hopping for added oomph.
T - Hinterland IPA has firm maltiness, starting with soft caramel and biscuity tones that slowly shift to subtle grapefruit and pineapple fruit with undertones of pine but the fruit and earthiness isn't quite defined, lingering with a muddled finish.
M - Subtle bitterness creeps up on the finish but Hinterland's IPA is very round from the get-go, balanced by a malty medium-full body and soft finish.
O - Balance plays a large role in the majority of beer styles but when it comes to IPAs, American-style in particular, "balance" shouldn't be the focus - hops should. This IPA has a very nice malty base but the hops are lacking from the beginning considering the IPA category. Since the style is incredibly competitive, Hinterland's muddled earthy and fruit suggestive version doesn't have the hop-forward focus of aroma or flavor to stand up to other American IPAs. That's not to say it's a bad beer all things considered, but if someone expecting the characteristics commonly associated with today's IPAs were to anticipate that from this beer, they would be disappointed.

Really great theme! Good luck with sales.
Do you do OpenCart themes at all? If so, will you be making this an OC theme..?
Thanks buddy. No, right now I am just concentrating on magento themes.
I'm having problems to install this theme!
I think is because os ajaxsearch.
Gives this: SQLSTATE [42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'diasmusi_mage700.mg_ajaxsearch' doesn't exist
Sorry for the delay, i was out, can you please mail me so that i can help you or if you can do it yourself you just need to rename DB table with this name.
I'm having problems with the twitter widget in the store-footer block. It has something to do with front-end html tags. The "&" turns into "&" and breaks the json request for the twitter api? Is there a fix?
Absolutely amazing theme! Gorgeous and perfect otherwise.
Thank you!
You need to replace your tiwtter name with "tutsplus"
I've done that but, my Magento install keeps returning the following after I save my block
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/ctmcases.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1"></script>
I think it keeps converting the "&" into
I apologize for my limited knowledge of Magento. Thank you again for all your help.
Sorry for some reason whenever I post I can't replicate the sign… it has "&" immediately followed by "amp" then ";".
congrats to this beautiful theme. I saw it and immediately bought it
I got a question… I need much more space (height) in the header section for my logo and also for some content in the header, where actually the "e-shopping" sign is placed.
I tried the .header tag in the css file and increase the height from 79px to 140 px. But that doesnt work, because the other content wont move down.
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks and cheers
Hello,Can you please mail me through my profile so that i can help you. http://themeforest.net/user/webdziner
Hello. I want to purchase your beautiful theme. But, It's my first time to use magento. This theme can be applyed to magento GO?

Hello. I have installed Magento community edition ver. 184.108.40.206. This theme can be applyed to Magento CE ver. 18.104.22.168? And if not, what should I expect to pay for settin at my webste? Thank you.
Yes it is compatible with 220.127.116.11
Hello! I just successfully installed this theme, and it's my first time using Magento, so I am wondering how I can translate my website (including this theme) to another language?
Thanks in advance!
You can find here the detail about magento languages.
Just installed this theme and it works reasonably well except some parts are badly coded and do not work correctly.
1. Grouped products are broken and do not display properly. Most of my products use the 'grouped product' template, and I had to re-code some files to get them to show properly.
2. Layered navigation is broken. When using 'sub-categories' through layered navigation, they are displayed twice (see pic).
Also, if you try to choose a category for filtering (e.g. colour, size, manufacturer etc) it throws an error. The error log states 'You cannot define a correlation name 'color_idx' more than once'. In the catalog.xml file for layered navigation the code
<reference name="left"> is used twice in a row which is possibly what is causing the error.
Could you please provide a fix for this, as this template is currently unusable.
<!-- <reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.lefttnav" before="_" template="catalog/navigation/leftnav.phtml"/>
</reference> -->
Layered navigation is now working correctly!
Yes, I have updated the package, i was experimenting with nav file and forgot to remove it. Thanks for the intimation,
im having problems showing the description and also the short description. The output (frontend) doenst show any formated text, nor a list, nor bullets and staff like that. The description is formated well with text color, some
, li, underline etc.
The output is straight into one line without any formated text, colors…See an example here: http://themeforest.net/item/eshopping-magento-theme/full_screen_preview/2491348
There is no break or any bold text, colored text etc. Seems that this template doesnt show html formated text!?
Can you help?
Can you please mail me your site detail and problem.
Great theme, and if you can confirm that I can tweak the following then I shall purchase ASAP , thanks
1) I need the header links to be drop-down, as there are many sub-categories. These categories & subs will then also need to be clearly displayed in the left hand column
2) Facebook like button? Really need this to be highly visible, so ideally this would be a banner image with a button inside it. Possible?
Yes you can add dropdown and facebook like.
Bought and rated! Great theme mate. Thanks for the clear installation instructions.
Hi, Have few questions before I buy
1. Is 'e-Shopping' already updated to the latest Magento version? Do you mind future updates? I'm asking because some of good themes here are poorly supported.
2. I would like to have more menus in left column instead of "shop by – - – price, color, manufacturer etc.". Is it possible with this theme?
3. Does 'e-Shopping' supports wide drop-down menus (as, for example, feautured theme 'Fortis')?
4. Do you provide theme customization services?
It is compatible with 1.7, i am not providing mega menu with theme, we can implement left menu like your madame store "http://themeforest.net/item/madame-responsive-fashion-store-magento-theme/2791232" We are available for small customization. You can ask anything through mail http://themeforest.net/user/webdziner
Thank you for prompt response. What I whant (and I suppose everybode else would) is to use left menu as submenu to main menu. So that every main menu tab opens page with it's own left submenu column.
As for the rest, I like simplicity and suble color scheme of this theme. To my taste 'e-shopping' should be feautured on ThemeForest.
Theme installed great, but I have one small problem.
When scrolling to the bottom of the site, it just keeps on scrolling. It does not stop. How can this be fixed? http://www.rcfunshop.com/
I will try to check it, please contact me through profile, http://themeforest.net/user/webdziner
Right after installation looks neat and perfectly rounded. This theme stands apart from anything I have tried before, so clean, one might not find even a slightest spot or wrinkle. The fine exapmle of minimalistic design with nitro power. Actually, I loved 'e-shopping' from the first sight. .. and now I'm going to have sex with it
Hey .. amazing theme .. does it 'run' with 18.104.22.168 ?
It does, You can use it.

PHP sin( ) function
sin() is a trigonometric ratio in mathematical concept called Trigonometry. Programmers sometimes need to use trigonometric function sine in developing the scientific modules development through php programming. Hence, PHP programming developing team introduced sine function in PHP4 to calculate sine values for different angles through PHP programming language. It perfectly works in current programming level PHP5. It is designed and developed to return sine values for radians scale.
According to Trigonometry,
Ratio between opposite side and hypotenuse is called Sine. It is mathematically expressed by considering Theta (θ) as angle of the right angle triangle.
|sin θ
|Opposite Side
In PHP, syntax of this mathematical function sine is defined as given below code box to understand functionality of sine function fundamentally.
PHP Code
sin(float $arg)
This fundamental syntax can be written as given below to use it quickly. It also helps php programmers to remember sine function easily.
PHP Code
In this syntax, θ is an angle of the triangle.
How to use
Sine function accepts any value as angle from Real Numbers group and returns associated sine value. In PHP, specifying the angle inside the brackets makes sine function to return its associated value as output in web browser.
echo sin(15);
In this example, sine function returned a value for an angle and it is a positive value. Similarly, sine function also gives negative values for some angles.
echo sin(100);
- 0.50636564110976
Trigonometric function sine's domain is R but it returns values from -1 to 1. This interval is known range of the sine function.

Sampled on tap at BJs Tucson on Broadway; October 2011
The beer arrives from the tap with a one finger thick, pale tan colored head that leaves some nice lacing on the sides of the glass. The beer is a copper-red color and quite clear. The aroma has a touch of crystal malt character to it up front, this is backed by notes of pine and sharp citrus-oil grapefruit character. The citrus comes out more as the beer warms up warms and contributes notes of tangelo zest and lychee. The nose is nice especially after it opens up and I get the feeling that this would smell much better if it wasn't in a pint glass.
The beer has a bitter bite to it as it first hits my palate; it is quite dry and after the first sip flavors of citrus and a touch of tropical fruit begins to come out, though it still remains quite dry. The hops contributes flavors of grapefruit, perhaps a hint lychee, some tangelo zest, caramelized pine (the crystal malt helps contribute to this note), a slight herbal note, but more of a floral character. The mouthfeel is quite spritzy as this has a lively carbonation that provides an amply prickly sensation as it rolls across the tongue. The body is quite quaffable; this is light, but still has a viscous quality to it that keeps it from seeming watery. This is definitely a hop dominated beer, but a touch of malt does come through by contributing notes of toasted cracker, and some biscuit like crystal malt character.
This beer is pretty enjoyable; it is nice and dry, with a biting, hoppy character that works well. Having said that, the hop-head in me thinks that this could certainly use an even more ample hop character.

This drink is da BOMB!
Remember those bomb popsicles from your youth? My kids love the ones we get from Schwan's. Its just plain fun to eat a striped popsicle with different flavors for each layer. Several years ago I decided to take the same concept and turn those bomb popsicles into a drink.
The results were one cool to look at, refreshing to sip on a sweltering summer day drink.
Cranberry Juice
Blue Gatorade or Powerade
Diet 7 Up
Fill a clear glass with ice. Pour some cranberry juice into the bottom. Next pour in some blue Gatorade making sure you pour directly onto the ice and not into the cranberry juice. Fill the rest of the glass with Diet 7 Up, again pouring directly onto the ice and not into the Gatorade.
How does this work? The cranberry juice, Gatorade, and Diet 7 Up all have varying amounts of sugar. The more concentrated a drink is (more sugar it has) the more dense it is. Those that are less dense "float" on top. The other trick is to pour right on the ice otherwise you just end up mixing the colors, which I admit can be fun, but you don't end up with a multi-layered masterpiece. Knowing the tricks of the trade you can create rainbow colored drinks of your own catering the colors to match a birthday theme, baby shower, or other holiday get togethers. The colors will eventually blend together so these drinks can't really be made ahead of time. I've found that kids will wait for their drinks because the magic of watching it come together is so much fun.

Yum! I remember having this at your house when we had the book club there.ReplyDelete
I'm excited to do this with my family. My children will love it!ReplyDelete
Do you think I could use blue koolaid instead of the gatorade, though? Or any other suggestions for a blue drink? I'm not a big gatorade fan.ReplyDelete
You could use kool-aid but it may contain more sugar than the cranberry juice so might go on the bottom. Any juices can be used you just need to check how many grams of sugar each juice has to figure out the order for pouring into the glass. The juices with more grams of sugar get poured into the glass first. If you have juices that are very similar in grams of sugar they might not work but give it try!
Hope that helps. :D
Oh my gosh I love this!ReplyDelete
Very cool! Perfect for 4th of July this week.ReplyDelete
And I tagged you for a meme over at my blog.
Very, very cool. We'll be trying these at our house for the 4th.ReplyDelete
That's awesome!ReplyDelete
This is awesome!! I love this. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
okay, that's cool...I'm not even a fan of soda or Gatorade, but I think I could drink them just to try this :)ReplyDelete
How clever! I'm definitely putting that in my "party idea book".ReplyDelete
You are not kidding, da bomb! I have to try this, thanks!ReplyDelete
Cocoa you have the BEST ideas! I love it! My boys will love making these...ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for sharing! I am very excited to try this drink:)ReplyDelete
I love it! Thanks for telling us how!!! All sorts of possibilities are going through my head...ReplyDelete
Fantastic idea! I love the look of layered drinks, but never knew you could make your own. You're so clever! I can't wait to try this ourselves.ReplyDelete
what a great drink! looks very festive and perfect for the holiday!ReplyDelete
happy POW!
What a great idea!!! And it look cool too. I just wonder if you could use Grenadine, to switch things up from time to time, rather than the cranberry juice? It's denser (well it's really a syrup) so I'm assuming will stay on the bottom. Hmmm, might have to try it. And like Sheri, I'm not a fan of blue Gatorade but I might try that sugar free blue berry flavoured PowerAde stuff.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the post. So glad I found you through POW...ok well actually I originally found you through Mommy's Martini, but just never got around to commenting. Will be back for sure.
love this idea, very cleverReplyDelete
Impressive!! May have to try that.ReplyDelete
What a cute idea!ReplyDelete
Happy POW
Great idea. The kids will love it.ReplyDelete
Happy POW!
Cool drink, I was kind of hoping for chocolate with your blog title. This is my first visit... maybe next time you will have some chocolatey delight???ReplyDelete
Happy POW
What an excellent idea! I'll definitely give this a try this weekend.ReplyDelete
That is super cool. I'm headed out for get some cranberry juice and diet7-up now.ReplyDelete
Happy 4th! And Happy POW!
That is one good looking drink. No pun intended. It probably doesn't work with diet 7 up, though. Oh, heck, I'll try it anyway. Happy POW!ReplyDelete
What a fun idea!!ReplyDelete
How festive!! Thanks for the suggestion!ReplyDelete
happy pow!
Groovy. :)ReplyDelete
Love, Sprittibee
That looks soooo refreshing!!! I'm definitely trying it :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the idea- hope you don't mind that I used it on my 30 days blog. I can't wait to try it!ReplyDelete
I was the coolest mom this year for making these on the 4th of July. And I think I impressed the adults the most.ReplyDelete
Oops, I meant to add:ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great idea!
Oooh, those are very cool. My boys would love them!ReplyDelete
Just a quick note to say thanks for entering the giveaway yesterday and stopping by my blog.
Hope to see you again soon...
That's a cool trick! :)ReplyDelete
So is it safe to say that regular 7-up, Sprite or whatever is out because of the sugar content? I really strongly dislike "diet" drinks.ReplyDelete
Any soda can be used just make sure to check the amount of sugar. Those with the most sugar should be used first as they will be more dense. It works out better if there is a bigger difference in the sugar amounts. If the sugar grams are to close together for cranberry juice and Sprite they might not stay separated in the glass.ReplyDelete
Just made our family these for our 4th. They turned out Ok but not great since I didn't have quite enough ice to fill the cups. The kids didn't love the cranberry juice, but we taught them to hold their straws up a little to taste the different flavors and they loved that. Thanks for a very very fun idea!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your idea to use cranberry juice. I made a layered breakfast drink:ReplyDelete
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?
Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.

Truth be told, I'm not a big soup person. I enjoy it when I'm at a restaurant, but I don't make it much at home. I don't know why. Maybe I feel like it's not substantial enough for the guys in my house. Or maybe it's because I know that Andrew will turn his nose up to it without even trying it.
I have several good soup recipes in my cookbook, but I would love to have a better variety. Do you have a soup recipe that you can add to my soup linky (below)? If so, my family thanks you!
In the mean time, check out these soup recipes at Rouxbe Cooking School! Out of the 3 preview video clips, which soup looks the most tempting to you?

Stars of the Game
Frantz Joseph(LB-Florida Atlantic) - Joseph capped off a great week of practice by doing what he did all week during the game. Joseph had an interception on a deflected pass, and he also was a force against the run. Joseph was a wall when he met runners, and he also displayed the ability to shed a blocker and make the tackle. He hit with a thud on 243 pound RB/FB Frank Summers and turned into a heat seeking missile once he had the correct read on a running play. One weakness was exposed when Joseph did look sluggish in space chasing down an offensive player, but he was a stud when he was playing downhill.
Curtis Painter(QB-Purdue) - Painter looked like the most polished and pro ready QB. He moved around well in the pocket, and he had terrific timing on a play action fake throw downfield. Painter tested the defense by throwing into small windows, and his accuracy often forced them to make a play. Painter also displayed great field vision and the ability to load up to deliver a long throw with zip rolling to his right. In general, he was the most engaged of the QBs and saw the field with the most clarity.
Lydon Murtha(OT-Nebraska) - Murtha's push against the run was irresistable on Saturday. He showed tremendous drive, riding power end Derek Walker five yards out of the play, and moving Jovan Belcher back like a blocking sled when he found him at the second level on a running play. Murtha's pass blocking needs work, but his nimble feet and natural size is more than enough to work with at the next level.
Khalif Mitchell(DT-East Carolina) - Mitchell translated his energy and tools into a couple of plays in the backfield - one sack when he ripped Maurice Miller and closed quickly, and a successful swim to meet Tarrion Adams in the backfield, although Adams ran through his arm tackle. Just like in practice, there were plenty of plays when Mitchell was a non-factor, but when he did make a play, he flashed exceptional tools.
Louis Ellis(DT-Shaw) - Ellis ran hot and cold, just like small school expert Josh Buchanan told us he would at the beginning of the week, but when he was hot, he was a bull in a china shop. Ellis blew up Andrew Hartline to tackle Anthony Kimble in the backfield, and he also showed good ability to read plays from the DT position. Ellis had an explosive and strong first step when was he was on.
Lee Robinson(OLB-Alcorn State) - You can see Robinson's superior athleticism/size combo out there even if you're not looking for it. He didn't make huge plays like Joseph, but his burst off the snap, ability to fight through blocks, and one play where he easily threw an opponent to the ground all amounted to a good closing argument in the case he built to be a mid-round pick in the draft during the week in El Paso.
Jason Chery(WR/RT-La-Lafayette) - We knew Chery was fast, but the toughness and tackle-breaking abilities he showed on his long return were a surprise. Chery ducked under Johnny Knox, who arrived right after the punt did, and then put on the fifth gear, making moves to elude two would-be tacklers and displaying outstanding balance in the process. He's electric with the ball in his hands, and we'll be interested to see his 40 time at his pro day.

Enterprise Software Delivery: Bringing Agility and Efficiency to the Global Software Supply Chain
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
|Enterprise Software Delivery takes an end-to-end view on software delivery. It provides insight that help to manage and improve the software supply chain, to satisfy business needs.
The book Enterprise Software Delivery takes a view at the software supply chain, and explores what enterprises can do to have software products and services that deliver value to the business. It is about governance, and balancing agility and efficiency, providing knowledge and solutions to manage software delivery for enterprises.
The demands on enterprise software delivery are increasing:
- Software delivery organizations need to manage the costs of software development and maintenance, have to become more productive, and reduce the time to market.
- Software delivery must become more transparent, and provide better insight into the value delivered to the business
- Users of the enterprise software solutions expect that timely, synchronized information is available everywhere, when they need it, and easily accessible
- Software delivery must keep up with the increased pace of business change
- The need for innovation is increasing, for new products and services that provide a business advantage
Alan Brown views software delivery as a supply chain, and a software factory. This view supports the use of techniques like measurements and lean to optimize the delivery chain and remove waste. But he also makes clear that "Software Is Not Manufactured; It Is Crafted and Evolved", and warns readers about the risks of industrialization of enterprise software delivery. I consider software development, which is at the heart of the software delivery chain, to be a creative process. It is driven by knowledge, experience, collaboration and communication, and not by "production". Techniques like measurements and lean can be useful to improve the software delivery chain, but using them to improve software development can be tricky.
Collaboration is essential to deliver enterprise solutions. Flexible workplaces and tools, agile practices and an infrastructure that enables distributed teams of professionals to collaborate are essential to satisfy today's enterprise software needs. The book describes what a Collaborative Delivery Environment looks like, and how it supports collaboration and globalization. It mentions that such an environment can reduce costs "in start-up, tool administration, and artifact administration" and by "eliminating the need for some travel". One of the benefits from a collaboration environment mentioned is that it "provides a sense of place and identity for the organization's nomadic developers who are geographically distributed and mobile; such a space helps jell the team"; this is something that I have experienced personally and fully agree with.
Many organizations are adopting agile practices. The focus is often on software development, this book takes a broader view of agility. It explores the scaling of agile, the role of executive, product and project managers in agile, enterprise and portfolio planning and how to interface agile teams and projects with the existing organization and to roll out agile in an organization.
The book explores fault injection and fault discovery which shows that most of the defects are found in user acceptance testing, and have been made during requirements and design. So there is a clear need for techniques that reduce early fault injection. The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is mentioned as a useful improvement framework, and also techniques like code analysis, risk analysis and architecture assessments which help organizations to understand the sources of quality problems, enabling them to take action.
Enterprise Software Delivery takes an end-to-end view on software delivery. It provides insight that help to manage and improve the software supply chain, to satisfy business needs. Whether you are using waterfall development, or are migrating to or using agile, this book is useful to get more business value from enterprise software delivery.
Enterprise Software Delivery: Bringing Agility and Efficiency to the Global Software Supply Chain" authored by Alan Brown, is published by Pearson/Addison-Wesley Professional, ISBN 0-321-80301-9, July 2012, copyright 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. For more info please visit www.informit.com

The implementation is pretty straight-forward; first we'll create our link with HTML and CSS, then we'll use a bit of JavaScript to enhance the behavior.
