hey so for those of you who don't know last fall I went on a mission trip to south america and wow it was probably the best thing i've ever done and it was there that i discovered my passion for helping people and i really have a love for the kids that i worked with down there and i would love to go back next summer but it's fairly expensive and yeah normally i don't like asking people for things but this is really important to me and mission work is what i hope to end up doing with my life and going back in 2013 would be a huge step so there is now a button on my blog to chip in some money via paypal
i'm not asking for anything big and frankly i would feel uncomfortable if i got a substantial donation, just if you have some spare change in your bank account it would really mean a lot to me if you thought of me enough to help fund this trip.
you don't have to agree with my religious convictions, i'm not going to indoctrinate anyone or preach anything, i'm just going to help kids who aren't nearly as well off as i am.
thank you for taking the time to read this i love you all regardless of whether or not you agree with me or what i'm doing and i can't tell you how much it means to me to even just get a message telling me that you care about my future in missions

The Buffalo Bills have announced that the have signed three of their seven draft picks.
The signees are fourth-round pick Ross Cockrell and seventh-round picks Randell Johnson and Seantrel Henderson.
"I'm excited about it. When you put the pen to paper you can feel how official it is," Cockrell said. "You're part of the team now, they drafted me. I always felt like I was part of the team, but now there's no denying it. The dream has been realized and now it's time to go to work."
Cockrell played cornerback for Duke and is expected to be a depth corner for the Bills as well as a special teams player.
Johnson and Henderson both signed their rookie deals and will be under contract before the weekend's minicamp for rookies. Minicamp will take place May 17-19.
Johnson played his football for Florida Atlantic while Henderson played for Miami.
Recently, the rookies chose their numbers. Cockrell will wear 29, Johnson will wear 93 and Henderson will wear 66.
There are still four rookies that need to be signed for the Bills. Those players are WR Sammy Watkins (first round), OT Cyrus Kouandijo (second round), LB Preston Brown (third round) and G Cyril Richardson (fifth round).
All of the Bills rookies are able to participate in camps despite their contract situation.
Other rookies that have been signed by the Bills include
DB Deon Broomfield – Iowa State
LB James Gaines – Miami DB
DT Damien Jacobs – Florida CB
DE Bryan Johnson – West Texas A&M
LB Darrin Kitchens – Florida
S Kenny Ladler – Vanderbilt
CB Darius Robinson – Clemson
DB Derek Brim – Buffalo
DT Colby Way – Buffalo
Rookie minicamps start this weekend from the field house at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

What It's Like To Get Your Car Repo'd in Los Angeles
(Note: This is really long and probably riddled with grammatical errors and typos. I don't really give a fuck, it's tumblr.)
On a late Sunday morning around the middle of January, you'll go down to your car so you can grab your sunglasses before heading out for a leisurely walk. That's when you'll discover your designated parking spot is empty. Your heart's gonna sink as you accept the fact that it finally happened.
You'll then tweet about your missing car because it's really fucking funny how you're a 30-year-old college graduate unable to make monthly payments on a 2004 used VW Jetta with two missing hubcaps.
While checking favs, you'll text your most pathetic friends and tell them about your missing car situation. One friend will suggest calling the police and telling them your car was stolen, so you give that a shot.
The police are more than happy to tell you your car was repossessed, not stolen. Your next call is to your credit union. They are closed because it's a Sunday and banks are closed on Sundays. Maybe you would know that if you had any money.
At this time, you'll take two .5 milligram Klonopins and spend the rest of the day in bed.
You'll spend half of Monday on the phone with various customer service representatives at your credit union. Finally, you'll be transferred to a guy named Romeo who explains the steps necessary to recover your precious Jetta.
Per Romeo, you will need all the money from your checking account, plus the 2 weeks of unemployment pay scheduled to hit your EDD debit card tomorrow. Once you've collected all the money you were planning to use for rent this month, take it down to the credit union, give it to someone there, and get your car back.
Since there's nothing left to do until tomorrow's EDD payment hits, you spend the rest of the day writing (on Klonopin).
Now that your unemployment money has arrived, you're ready to visit the credit union, which is located in Torrance wherever the fuck that is. Before heading over, you call to confirm their hours. They close at 6pm — more than enough time! OMG you're so relieved this ordeal is almost over, but that's because you're a fucking moron who has no clue her week is going to get wayyyy worse.
Your ex-fiance reluctantly offers to drive you to Torrance. You decline because even though you have pretty much no money, you still have a tiny shred of dignity.
You decide to use up that remaining shred of dignity by taking advantage of Lyft's first-time user discount. You'll ride shotgun in a pink mustachioed Kia Sorento. You'll actually enjoy the 30-minute drive, up until the moment you learn that your Lyft driver has more IMDB credits than you. Fortunately, you'll arrive at your destination before this information can really sink in.
Once inside the credit union, you'll pay your balance and get your car back, just like Romeo said!!
Just kidding, they don't have your car. They never had it. Oh, Romeo!
You will, however, receive the next best thing to your car — the phone number of an impound lot where your car is currently located. (FYI: They won't give you the lot's address or any additional information, no matter how fake-nice you ask.)
Anyway, you'll call the impound lot from the little credit union lobby. The straight up bitch who answers the phone will angrily inform you the lot is closing in one minute and that you need to call back tomorrow and schedule an appointment to retrieve your car.
Naturally, you'll begin to cry as you tell her about how you don't live nearby, and can't afford to take another Lyft home, and don't have anyone who can give you a ride now or tomorrow, and you can't come tomorrow anyway because you have a meeting, and that you just really need your car now. Don't worry, eventually you'll realize that fucking bitch hung up on you awhile ago.
You'll continue to cry in the credit union lobby about what seems to be bigger than just car and money issues until they ask you to leave. You'll then Google Map the public transportation route home. You must walk half a mile, take two busses and a train, then walk two more miles. As you make your way to the first bus stop, your phone dies. Classic.
Once you arrive at the first bus stop, you'll ask the least scary guy waiting if it's the correct bus to take to Hollywood. He will just nod and blow smoke in your face. You'll wait 45-minutes and watch 3 out-of-service busses pass you before the the first bus arrives.
You'll sit up front and ask the bus driver to let you know when to transfer to the next bus even though he's busy hitting the passenger sitting next to you. The bus driver talks about his loneliness and how he's looking for a Christian woman he can play footsy with at the end of the day. (Apparently, footsy is bus driver for fuck.) At some point, he'll finally shut the fuck up about his empty personal life and tell you to get off at the next stop.
It's a short wait until the next bus arrives and takes you to Downtown LA. The familiar territory helps you breathe a sigh of relief. You transfer to the metro, take the red line to Hollywood and Highland, exit and walk home to West Hollywood. Back at your apartment, you immediately regret not stopping at Chipotle — it was right on the way. You go to bed feeling hungry and sorry for yourself.
You call the impound lot first thing in the morning. You get their answering service. You find out the lot is only open between the hours of 12pm and 3pm. Because you have a meeting at 3:30pm, you decide to get your car tomorrow just to be on the safe side.
This decision results in you reluctantly asking your unemployed ex-fiance to drive you to the meeting, which he does because he believes in you as a writer — and has nothing else to do.
It's a great meeting. They love you and want to work with you on a project in the future. And, of course, you know everyone says that — even if they don't mean it, but it seemed like they really meant it.
After the meeting, you'll wait for your ex-fiance to pick you up outside of a 7-11 a few blocks down.
This is it! This is the day you will finally be reunited with your Jetta!
You call the impound lot right when they open AT NOON. You talk to that same bitch. She tells you they haven't received a claim release from your credit union and that she can't help you without a claim release. Click.
You call the credit union and talk to four different people, all of whom know very little about claim releases. You hang up and call the impound lot again. Before you're able to explain your situation, they put you on hold for eight minutes. Finally bitch face comes back on the line and tells you they found your claim release. You suspect they had it the entire time, but whatever.
She tells you the soonest appointment they have available to get your car back is on Monday. She then lets you know you'll be charged an additional $25 per day until it's picked up — in addition to the $200 in cash you must pay to get it released.
You tell her you gave all your money to the credit union and that there's no way you can't afford the daily charges. Amazingly, she manages to squeeze you in today. All you'll need to do is stop by the police station downtown and pay a $15 repo fee because you'll need that receipt to the lot along with the $200 in cash to get your car.
Once again, your ex-fiance is kind enough to drive you - even though he seems annoyed and not into it. First, he takes you to the police station downtown. You run in and pay your fee. It's relatively painless. He then takes you to the impound lot, which isn't even in Torrance by the way — it's in Compton.
To show your gratitude for all of his passive-aggressive driving, you give your ex-fiance 4 Adderall XR capsules before he abandons you in the most terrifying industrial wasteland you have ever seen.
As close as you are to getting your car back at this point, you will seriously consider abandoning your car at the lot forever. That's because the world's biggest cunt receptionist failed to mention that you'd be waiting for several hours ON FOLDING CHAIRS OUTSIDE.
You won't be able to leave because they could call your name at any time and there's no restroom, or vending machines, or nearby Starbucks. There's just a driveway filled with uncomfortable folding chairs and other irresponsible, miserable poor people. It goes without saying, your phone will die within the first hour. You won't be able to focus on the book you brought because you're freezing and uncomfortable, so you'll just end up closing your eyes and thinking about how if your parents knew how severely you fucked up by falling behind on your car payments, they would tell you to quit trying to be a writer and go back to working in human resources. You will tear up, if not full-on cry at this thought.
Then, several hours later, they'll call your name. Before pulling your car around, they'll let you know that all the contents from your car have been emptied into trash bags and you'll have to pay extra to get them back. You once again plead — you only have enough money for your car. The guys at the impound lot will then go out of their way to let you know they're doing you a HUGH FAVOR by giving you all your belongings for FREE. You thank him as he hands you your keys.
After a long day and an even longer week, you and your Jetta will be home free, where you'll be stuck indefinitely — or until you have money again.

The town's topography consists of rolling hills (hence its name), open farmland and wooded tracts. It is dotted with many houses, barns and other structures from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The hamlet was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 due to its abundance of pre-1900 buildings, including a recently restored general store and two historic inns, the Hillsdale House and Mount Washington House. The Roeliff Jansen Park, a state park run by the Town of Hillsdale, has miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails, a year-round Dog Run, many family events, and a summer program for kids. Roe Jan Park hosts the weekly Copake Hillsdale Farmers Market in the summer and fall. The park is located on Route 22, about one mile south of the intersection of Routes 22 and 23. Across from the park is the newly constructed Roeliff Jansen Community Library, which also serves the towns of Copake and Ancram. A recently opened extension of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail terminates in the hamlet. The extension currently has a dirt surface but plans are under way to pave it.
- North Hillsdale – A hamlet near the center of Hillsdale on Route 22, originally the location of Nobletown. The North Hillsdale Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[2]
- Harlemville – The Harlemville Hamlet is located in the northwest corner of the town of Hillsdale on County Route 21, home of Hawthorne Valley Farm Store and its Waldorf school. The Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Harlemville and Cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[3]
- Martindale – A hamlet near Route 23, and the Taconic State Parkway.
Festivals and celebrations[edit]
- Falcon Ridge Folk Festival takes place every July on Dodds Farm, 4.5 miles north of the Route 22&23 intersection.

What do you get the man that has everything? A wife, and after that, another! It's everybody's favorite royal heretic, King Henry VIII! You may remember him from such classes as World History I and AP European history. King Henry was most famous for his failed marriages, first to the Catholic Catherine of Aragon, then to Anne Boleyn, then to Jane Seymour, then to Anne of Cleves, then Catherine Howard and finally to Catherine Parr. Oh what craziness. You might ask, how could one have all of these different wives? Death helped a little bit, but Henry also famously broke from the Vatican and became head of the church. Basically, he could do whatever he wanted. Steez.

In a recent discussion at the office, we were going over our favorite books from high school. All the usuals made their appearances, Catcher in the Rye, Pride and Prejudice, A Separate Peace, Of Mice and Men and of course The Great Gatsby. I've posted Jay Gatsby before and Daisy twice but thought I'd take another look with the new collections. The brief rundown is—Gatsby is rich and has a crazy love affair with Daisy, but Daisy is a greedy trollop who only cares about status. Gatsby dies and despite their love for each other, that bitch doesn't even show up to his funeral. Good god woman, have some respect. In the crazy Jazz age of East and West Egg, there were some great parties and plenty of money floating around, so you'd best believe Gatsby had some good style or…steez.

Good Monday morning to you all. Holden Caulfield was the very first post I ever did on Textbook. Somewhere down the line it got added into my tag line and now it's kind of a thing. I haven't styled him since the original post on 9/1/09 so here we go again. For those of you who don't have a solid idea of who Mr. Caulfield is, I encourage you to read The Catcher in the Rye and get wise. But for our purposes, just imagine he is a bitter Upper East Side 16 year old aching to get out of his poor little rich boy life. What up #WHITEBOYPROBLEMS.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Don't judge me if I post a bunch of pictures from my holiday later.

Good Tuesday morning to you all. I hope you're enjoying your week thus far as we continue to celebrate the fast approaching release of Deathly Hallows. Good god, I was in the seventh grade when the first book came out and now at nearly 25, I can't contain my excitement. Yesterday, I received quite a few requests for Professor Trelawny…so, like…here she is. Professor Trelawny is the perfect representation of that oddball teacher that we've all had before—a little eccentric, endearingly enthusiastic and somewhat mad. Naturally, eccentric enthusiastic madness means awesome clothes. Enjoy.

Hi All,None of my set top boxes guides and clocks have changed with the daylight savings. In the past Ive never had an issue with this, they auto set. I have two stb going now, one is the smaller cheap SB box and the other is a SD 2500 series (i believe) with the LED clock on the front. I power cycled the 2500 and still wont sync with the correct time.Anyone know what might be the problem? Has shaw forgot about DST in Alberta? :-\TIA
All mine updated, I suspect that the 2500 series terminal wasn't updated for the change in DST a few years ago - just a guess though--Yes, I am not employed and looking for IT work. Have passport, will travel.
Thanks for the comment.I ended up calling in, they said they switch the box from one location to another and back again. Now the time/guide are on the correct time. Guess the boxes needed a kick to get it to up date.
Happens sometimes yep

Intestinal Obstruction
An intestinal obstruction comes from a physical blockage in the bowel. Different problems in the bowel may cause these blockages.
Adhesions from previous surgeries
Cancer or tumor
A hernia, which is a condition in which a portion of the bowel bulges out through an opening or weakness in the abdomen (belly). This sometimes squeezes the bowel.
A swallowed object.
Blockage (impaction) with worms is common in third world countries.
A twisting of the bowel or telescoping of a portion of the bowel into another portion (intussusceptions)
Anything that stops food from going through from the stomach to the anus.
Symptoms of bowel obstruction may result in your belly getting bigger (bloating), nausea, vomiting, explosive diarrhea, explosive stool. You may not be able to hear your normal bowel sounds (such as "growling in your stomach"). You may also stop having bowel movements or passing gas.
Usually this condition is diagnosed with a history and an examination. Often, lab studies (blood work) and x-rays may be used to find the cause.
The main treatment of this condition is to rest the intestine (gut). Often times the obstruction may relieve itself and allow the gut to start working again. Think of the gut like a balloon that is blown up (filled with trapped food and water) which has squeezed into a hole or area which it cannot get through.
If the obstruction is complete, an NG tube (nasogastric) is passed through the nose and into the stomach. It is then connected to suction to keep the stomach emptied out. This also helps treat the nausea and vomiting.
If there is an imbalance in the electrolytes, they are corrected with intravenous fluids. These have the proper chemicals in them to correct the problem.
If the reason for the obstruction (blockage) does not get better with conservative (non-surgical) treatment, surgery may be necessary. Sometimes, surgery is done immediately if your surgeon knows that the problem is not going to get better with conservative treatment.
Depending on what the problem is, most of these problems can be treated by your caregivers with good results. Your surgeon will discuss the best course of action to take, with you or your loved ones.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have:
Increasing abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, dehydration or fainting.
Severe weakness, chest pain or back pain.
Blood in your vomit, stool or you have tarry stool.

Letting this hatred stay?
I'll fucking push you away…
Can I say this?

Before you throw it all away I've got something to say,
theres not a time and place for just some fuckin' things that you should never do.
Punctured arms and empty eyes tend to tell the truth.
You have chosen your path,
You choose the path where your life burns out fast

This is the knife, this is your heart
This is their chance to straight tear you apart.
Sorry it had to be this way.
Your life is fading
Are you worth saving?

More Ackermann means the steering geometry achieves greater angular inequality of the turned wheels (the inside wheel tries to follow a smaller-diameter circle than it actually does). This generates dynamic toe-out under speed on the front inside wheel (not to be confused with static toe set at the alignment shop). Less Ackermann achieves a reduced amount of angular inequality, resulting in the inside wheel trying to follow a larger-diameter circle. This generates toe-in under speed on the front inside wheel.
In closed-course racing, the current trend is toward running more Ackermann. Today's fat and sticky tires generate high coefficients of friction with a short and wide pavement contact patch, which decreases slip angles. Many modern race cars also have a large amount of download (from wings, spoilers, and other aero mods), meaning the inside front tire is no longer completely unloaded under high-g cornering conditions. With such parameters, adding more Ackermann reduces understeer during turn in. As the late, great, race car engineer Carroll Smith puts it in his book Engineer to Win, more Ackermann "works at both high and low speed but any given amount is more noticeable at high speed. The driver usually reports that the car feels 'freer in the corners' and that understeer is reduced in all phases of cornering." Another benefit is that the car can run zero static toe-out or even a slight amount of toe-in, so when the wheels are pointed straight ahead, there is reduced rolling resistance and less braking instability—the car feels less "darty."
At some point Moore's Law—the faulty belief that if a little more of something improves performance, a lot more must necessarily be even better—comes into play: It is possible to go off the deep end and move the Ackermann center too far forward, which will actually increase understeer at the limit. Clues that you've gone over the limit include the car becoming darty over bumps or under braking, just as if it had too much static front toe-out or toe-out under bump. Essentially there's a sweet spot, where more Ackermann can be beneficial, but this spot varies per car. According to Smith, this point of no return "is typically reached when the Ackermann center is placed somewhere between 25 and 50 percent of the wheelbase dimension forward of the rear axle center."
Therefore, like everything else in the suspension, the car needs to be tuned to suit its intended use and even individual driver preferences. One plan is to keep adding Ackermann until the car becomes unstable, then back off slightly. With the baseline established, you can add additional static toe-out if needed for the specific racing venue.
Looking at your situation specifically: First of all, it was the Corvette that had a 98-inch wheelbase (up through '82). The '70 to '81 second-generation GM F-car (Camaro/Firebird), whose subframe you grafted onto your pickup, actually had a 108-inch wheelbase, while its sister third-generation '75 to '79 X-body (Nova and clones) had a 112-inch wheelbase, only 2 inches shorter than your pickup. Both the F- and X-bodies had identical front and rear suspensions, so obviously GM wasn't too concerned about minor Ackermann deviations. Note, too, that GM pickups of the same model year and weight class share the same front suspensions, despite the chassis being offered with several different wheelbases.
The dirty little secret is that slight Ackermann difference (within 5 percent when going from a 108- to a 114-inch wheelbase) is more than outweighed by the stock suspension's built-in compliance and the tires' natural slip angle. If anything, you have generated a hair more Ackermann, which (as noted above), with modern wide wheels and tires, may be beneficial under extreme high-speed cornering conditions, at the expense of a hair less favorable parking lot manners. But again, you'll probably never notice the difference on a sloppy production-based suspension.

Washington State Patrol: Marijuana Eradication Will Continue Despite I-502
The Washington State Patrol announced Monday that they expect to continue their state-wide Marijuana Eradication Program, despite the November passage of I-502, which legalized the adult use of marijuana in Washington state.
Since the program began a decade ago, the Washington State Patrol has confiscated hundreds of thousands of cannabis plants and arrested dozens of illegal growers. Last year, an estimated 200,000 marijuana plants were confiscated or destroyed by law enforcement officers.
A spokesperson from the Washington State Patrol said that the program will continue despite I-502, because the voter approved law, which took effect on December 6, only legalizes the possession of small amounts of marijuana, not the cultivation of the cannabis plant.
ŌĆ£Our eradication efforts have been aggressive in recent years,ŌĆØ said┬ĀLt. Ron Mead of the Washington State Patrol Narcotics Division, ŌĆ£And will continue to be aggressive in coming years.ŌĆØ
Washington law enforcement receives about $1.5 million in federal aid to fund the eradication program. Any additional charges are funded by state tax payers.
State Representative Roger Goodman said Monday that even though cultivating marijuana remains illegal, ŌĆ£politically, I donŌĆÖt see a reason to spend money on (the program).ŌĆØ
Rep. Goodman, who sits on the stateŌĆÖs public safety committee, was a supporter of I-502.

Thibodeau responds to Reinsdorf's 'mediocre' comment
BY JOE COWLEY Staff Reporter January 29, 2014 10:06PM
Article Extras
Updated: January 30, 2014 6:45PM
SAN ANTONIO — That bubble coach Tom Thibodeau surrounds his players with gets smaller by the day.
Before the Bulls' 96-86 victory Wednesday over the San Antonio Spurs that kicked off a six-game trip against Western Conference teams, Thibodeau was grilled about criticism from outside the organization and from within, specifically chairman Jerry Reinsdorf branding the team as "mediocre'' in a recent TV interview.
"Jerry owns the team, so he's entitled to say whatever he wants,'' Thibodeau said. "If that's the way he feels . . . and the way I feel about our team is this: I'm really proud of them, and we can do even better. So I'm not selling them short.''
No, but a lot of others have been doing just that.
Analysts Charles Barkley and Jeff Van Gundy took shots at Bulls management in the last week.
Barkley told ESPN that if the franchise doesn't land Carmelo Anthony somehow, "they're going to be irrelevant for the next few years.''
"We're not going to respond to every rumor and things that this guy says and that guy says,'' Thibodeau said. "The only thing that really matters is what we think. So we're going to make the best decisions for our organization, the things that give us the best chance to have success.''
Thibodeau was asked again if he thought ownership was actually committed to doing whatever it takes to pursue a championship and said, "As I told you, Jerry, with me, has been terrific. I don't have any problems with Jerry. There are a lot of decisions that have to be made that are tough decisions; they're not easy ones. And so you do what you think is right. You don't get them all right, but hopefully you get a lot more right than you get wrong. We've taken some hits, so we have to navigate around what happened, and that's what we're doing.''
The Bulls (23-22) outplayed the Spurs (33-13) in the fourth quarter thanks to Kirk Hinrich, who returned after missing the last four games with a hamstring injury. Hinrich scored all his 11 points in the fourth to hand the Spurs their third loss in a row.
"The opportunities arose,'' Hinrich said.
"We were running plays where I was kind of coming off, getting clean looks and just trying not to predetermine what I was going to do. Be aggressive and make a play.''
The victory gives the Bulls a big confidence boost at the start of this long trip.
"We believe in ourselves in this locker room,'' Hinrich said. "We want to keep taking steps in the right direction.''

text: Greetings, A short while ago there was a spirited discussion on the Ansteorra list about the cloved fruit game. At one point it made a diversion into hand-kissing in the SCA. I thought at the time I had some guidelines for this in one of my files, but wasn't sure which one. Now that I've found which file I thought this might be of interest to some of you. The file is: courtesy-msg (32K) 1/19/96 Courtesy guidelines in the SCA and period. Hand-kissing and bowing. This file includes a very good article on hand-kissing by Ioseph of Locksley and comments about hand-kissing from other people as well as comments on several other related subjects. My collection of files, the SCA Rialto Files can be found at: http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html Stefan li Rous markh at risc.sps.mot.com PS: As this collection includes a number of articles submitted by their authors as well as messages from various sources other than the Rialto (rec.org.sca), I would like to come up with another name for this collection. Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps some medieval term for a collection of articles or encyclopedia or traveloge?

Exploring Kotlin
I've been exploring Kotlin recently. Kotlin is a new statically typed JVM language and was announced about half a year ago. This month JetBrains released its first milestone candidate which I decided to have a closer look at.
First of Kotlin is still in its early stages. A lot of things work pretty well (I'm especially impressed by the IDE support) but there are still numerous issues. I've hit a couple of bugs so far.
I'll highlight a few language features which I think are interesting (coming from Java).
fun demoVars() { val first : String = "abc" first = "xyz" // error, variable is immutable var second = "abc" second = null // error, variable is mutable but non-nullable var third : String? = "abc" third = null // ok, variable is marked as nullable ('?') foo?.bar?.baz // safe navigation }
Multi-line strings and string templates
fun demoMultiLineTemplate() { val first = "john" val second = "doe" println(""" First name: $first Second name: $second """) }
Higher-order functions
bar({ println("I'm foobar") }) bar({ println("I'm foobar") }, { println("I'm foobaz") }) fun bar(foobar : () -> T) { foobar() } fun bar(foobar : () -> T, foobaz : () -> B) { foobar() foobaz() }
These a just some examples refer to the Kotlin docs for more features.
Next blog
In my next blog I'll show a larger example of Kotlin code and compare it with its Java equivalent.

By 2030, one third of humanity will live in areas where water demand exceeds supply by more than 50 percent. This is not only a challenge to basic human rights; water scarcity is already fueling conflict and contributing to the pace of urbanization as more people relocate to cities in search of secure sources of potable water.
There are certainly signs that more effort and political will is being put towards solving the urban water challenge. All around the world, we have seen shiny new water treatment plants being built, adding more capacity to the system.
But while this may be a good sign for the future, the reality is that many – if not most – jurisdictions and urban areas are largely ignoring the bigger challenge that lies right under their feet: inefficient networks. Indeed, water leakage has become an endemic problem for many countries. In Brazil, almost 40 percent of water is lost through network leakage, Hong Kong loses more than 25 percent, while Singapore – widely viewed as possessing one of the most efficient water systems in the world – wastes only around six percent.
Indeed, there is a strong argument to be made that many of the world's urban water challenges could, in fact, be partly solved by improving the efficiency of existing networks and reducing both physical and administrative losses. Interestingly, there are signs that the recent global financial crisis has concentrated minds towards doing just that. Facing scarce financing for new (and expensive) water plants and a general reluctance on the part of governments to outlay more capital on big-ticket infrastructure items, many water utilities and urban governments have started to focus their efforts on bringing more efficiency to their networks in order to increase overall capacity and improve service to end users.
Tied to this is the growing trend towards waste water reuse. Whereas just 10 years ago, the overwhelming majority of sewage tended to be treated and discharged unceremoniously into lakes, oceans and deserts, an increasing number of jurisdictions are now actively capturing waste water and treating it to alleviate some of the pressure on resources by reusing it mainly for agriculture or industrial purposes. In many urban areas, treated waste water is being sold to industrial users, thereby reducing the demand for potable water and providing new sources of revenue for water utilities. In 2009, over 40 million cubic meters of sewage was already being recycled daily, with some locations – such as Windhoek (Namibia) and Singapore – even utilizing treated waste water for direct or indirect potable re-use.
Another encouraging development over the past few years has been the improved efficiency gains within many of the plants themselves. Desalinization facilities, for example, which have traditionally been seen as a technology of last resort in water-scarce regions due to the high cost of operations and environmental impact, have become much more efficient and, as a result, much more popular. Indeed, desalinization plants are now starting to pop up in non-oil producing countries where the cost of operations is multiplied greatly.
Of course, the enduring challenge of water tariff mismatches persists in most markets around the world and will continue to distort the economics of water provision. Simply put, until the true value of not only the water being used, but also the capital costs of operating and maintaining water systems is reflected in urban water tariffs, the sector will continue to struggle to fund and finance the type of capacity change that will be required by our burgeoning cities. So while eliminating water subsidies may be extremely unpopular (particularly in traditionally water scarce countries), the reality is that governments and utilities will never be able to achieve the right balance between cost and demand while this mismatch continues.
With user fees barely covering operations and maintenance costs, most governments have been forced to either fund or underwrite the development of new plants and facilities by dipping into their budgets and tax revenues. In the developing world, this burden has largely been picked up by some of the multilateral development funds who are striving to solve both the water scarcity challenge and the public finance challenge through long-term loans and risk financing.
We have also started to see an increasing number of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) emerge in regions with particularly unreliable or non-existent water infrastructure. In these cases, private industry (such as mining operations or manufacturing plants) have contracted with private developers to build and operate a local water and wastewater system capable of meeting and sustaining their water consumption levels.
There is little doubt that water will continue to be both a critical imperative and a significant challenge for urban governments going forward. Much will depend on not only the ability of administrators to bring greater efficiency to the system but the willingness of politicians to allow tariffs to reflect the true cost of what is clearly a scarce and valuable resource.

PAX East Event Pachinko for Charity raised just over $17,000 for Gamers with Disabilities
There are times when you see something at a convention or out with friends, or heck even just sitting at home scrolling through the news feeds, which put a smile on your face and restore a bit of faith in humanity
Like the image says above AbleGamers is a charity. Its a charity which raised over $17,000 via a Pachinko machine which sat directly to the left of the merchandise stand. For a nominal fee, you could sit down and play Pachinko, with all of the money going to charity.
The premise was simple - $5.00 for 50 metal balls, $10 for 100 and $20 for 300 glorious clinky-clanking possible wins :D
While I never won (I am notoriously bad at games like Pachinko) I had a blast talking with fellow PAX East goers and enjoying the fact that we were able to give something back to people who need it.
A great comment was brought up in an article on gameskinny.com where the writer said "If someone told me I couldn't do the things I loved anymore, it would be a hard adjustment for me to make."
A powerful statement in my opinion, and one I think made in the best possible way, by helping someone else. If that can't make you smile then I have to ask, what can?
If you do need one more reason to smile today, take joy in this and let me now, do you think you could eat this?

The battle for the Silver Boot commences tonight! It will be the beginning of the Lone Star Series – the Houston Astros vs. the Texas Rangers — a rivalry that fires up Texas' baseball fans near and far in the state's largest cities. he Astros take their road show to Globe Life Stadium in a three-game set – they have hopes of capturing the mystique of a win streak – something that has been hard to come by for quite some time as this team rebuilds for the future.
The Astros are fresh off a 6-4 win last night over the Blue Jays as the Rangers emerge from one day of rest after succumbing 2-4 to the power of the Boston Red Sox – the defending World Champs. Both teams did not see much success in their previous respective series.
But there is a positive aspect that can make any devoted Astros fan optimistic — the Rangers have struggled as of late — losing four of their last six but it doesn't get any better for the Orangemen who have only won two of their last eight games.
It's time the 'Stros capitalize on the Rangers woes and make this a series to remember.
And here's BP's Bull's Eye, the players the Astros must keep an eye on:
- Shin-Soo Choo — This guy gets on base, plain and simple. He had 112 walks, 34 doubles, 20 stolen bases with a .423 on-base percentage. Choo was rewarded with a seven-year, $130 million contract extension in the offseason and it has already translated to on the field. He currently wields a .475 OBP – 4th in the AL — and I don't seeing that number decreasing any time soon.
- Prince Fielder – Need I say more? The brawny first baseman and five-time All-Star was the Rangers' big splash in the offseason, acquired from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for long-time second baseman Ian Kinsler. I've talked with Rangers' fans and the reviews were mixed in regard to the trade but what they will have is guy who can hit a ton and can play solid defense. As of late, Fielder has floundered going 6/37 and hitting a gaudy .162. He will look to redeem himself against an Astros team that has had some struggles of late.
- Adrian Beltre – I was in high school when this guy started his career! The four-time Gold Glove Winner still remains a valuable centerpiece for the Rangers. However, as he continues to age, there is a slight depression in his numbers. Despite that, he did continue to churn out a .315 batting average and knock out 30 home runs in 2013. He currently is nursing a mild strain of his left quadriceps, so if he is not ready, then Kevin Kouzmanoff, who had success in Spring Training — hitting .370 — will get the nod. Kouzmanoff was just called up Wednesday from Triple-A Round Rock.
Fun Stat: The Astros are ranked 2nd in the majors in home runs with 14 while the Rangers, with all of that firepower they have, are ranked 28th — the bottom of the barrel — with only four on the season.
Now without further adieu, here are this weekend's matchups:

It took Percy Harvin less than a week to become embroiled in his first controversy as a Minnesota Viking: Friday, the former Florida wide receiver was expected to report to the team's three-day rookie minicamp, but when reporters arrived for the media session…no Percy. The dispatches immediately started going out, via Access Vikings and the like, setting off a firestorm of speculation. Had Percy already gone diva on the Vikes and refused to attend the camp? Was it some kind of hold-out ploy? Was he holed up somewhere with a pipe and a big bag of Funyuns?
We would have to wait for Brad Childress to address the media to find out where Percy was at. After the end of practice, Childress indeed revealed what is up with Harvin: he is in Atlanta, in the hospital with severe dehydration, after a vomiting attack at the airport. The coach said Percy is expected to be released in 24-48 hours.
My initial reaction was, "Okay, at least it wasn't anything silly." And then I thought, "Wait a second…why the hell is he getting sick at the airport? Swine flu? A bad trip? Nerves?" I would almost prefer swine flu or even the bad trip. I would hate like hell to think the guy who's supposed to spark this Renaissance in our offense is so jittery he can't even make the flight to rookie minicamp without hurling.
I don't know if this report resolves the situation or not. To me, it raises more questions than it answers.

"The calculation of damages needs reform in patent law. We need some method of damages apportionment similar to what is making its way through Congress. As most of the companies I represent are in the high tech arena, the market capture rule, especially in cases where the plaintiff solely seeks a reasonable royalty, is problematic."
