Container designed for secure grease recycling.
Wastequip, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based maker of waste and recycling equipment, says its new line of grease containers prevents the frustrating problem of grease theft.
Featuring the "Grease Vault lid," the new grease containers provide safe, simple storage of used food grease "and will discourage the most pesky grease burglar around," according to the company.
Wastequip says its Grease Vault lids offer several anti-theft features, including:
Available in middle-dump and end-dump configurations (with drop-in box or flat grates), the Grease Vault lid and grate system is standard on Wastequip grease containers and also can be retrofitted onto many existing grease containers, says Wastequip.
"Growth in the bio-fuel market and stringent regulations governing the collection and disposal of grease has been driving the demand for safe, simple grease storage products for several years," says Amanda Maeyaert, product manager for Wastequip containers. "As the value of used cooking oil skyrockets, so does the number of people willing to resort to theft to make a few bucks. Wastequip is extremely excited to introduce this new grease container that discourages grease theft, so our customers can dispose of used food grease in an appropriate manner."
Assembly of the lid takes no more than 15 seconds and requires no welding or tools, according to the company. The user slides the two plates together, aligns holes, attaches the grate and puts a padlock in place.
Wastequip says its new containers "are ideal for any environment that generates food grease, such as restaurants, grocery stores, schools, hospitals and hotels."

Back row (left to right): Andrea Kelble '16, Peter Walsh '13, John M. O'Donnell '04 (coach), and Bart LeFaso '16. Middle row (left to right): Brianna Mora '16, Vania Cornelio '15, Bethany Fogerty '16, Alexis Beyerlein '13, Brett Gannon '16, Joseph Dudley '16, and Payton Shubrick '13. Front row (left to right): Lauren Kuehn '13, Kathryn Servizio '16 , and Christine Fimognari '15. Taken at the regional qualifying tournament at Fitchburg State University earlier this month.
With strong finishes in regional tournaments this fall, four two-person moot court teams from the College of the Holy Cross have qualified to compete in the American Collegiate Moot Court Association's National Competition from Jan. 18 – 19, 2013 at Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach. The Holy Cross teams are among only 80 nationwide, from a field of more than 300, to advance to the national tournament.
Coached by John M. O'Donnell '04, the Moot Court teams' four bids to the national competition this year ties the school record. The first two bids were secured by captain Alexis Beyerlein '13 and Andrea Thompson '15, and Michael Bender '15 and Emily Sawicki '15 at a regional qualifying tournament at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. In addition, Sam Marth '16 finished as the tenth highest ranked attorney of the entire competition.
The second two bids were secured by Lauren Kuehn '13 and Payton Shubrick '13, and Bethany Fogerty '16 and Andrea Kelble '16 at a regional qualifying tournament at Fitchburg State University.
Holy Cross joined the American Moot Court Association in 2003 and has enjoyed much success. Erin Robert '06 and Elizabeth Letak '06 finished as national runners-up in 2003 and 2004. In 2009, Katie Manzi '08 and Tania Mistretta '08 finished as the overall first and second place orators at the National Tournament in Iowa, the first time any school had claimed the top two positions. In 2009, Katherine Andrew was ranked the top orator at the Nationals, giving Holy Cross the top spot two years in a row.
Moot Court is a form of legal debate that pits two students from a school against another team of two. The competitors debate issues of law in front of a panel of judges, usually real life attorneys and judges, who score the competitors based on their knowledge of case law, ability to think on their feet and forensic skills. This year's case involves affirmative action and first amendment rights on college campuses.

NIU School of Theatre and Dance presents two plays by John Guare
From press release
DEKALB, Ill.—The Northern Illinois University (NIU) School of Theatre and Dance will open their small venue Studio Series with the BA Showcase. The performance of two short plays written by John Guare will highlight the talents of undergraduate theater students. Something I'll Tell You Tuesday and The Loveliest Afternoon of the Year will be performed Oct. 7-10 in the Stevens Building Corner Theatre on the NIU DeKalb campus.
Guare is a prominent American playwright known for his often-absurdist dramas about the futility of questioning existence. He has been writing plays since the 1960s. His plays have received numerous drama awards, including several Tony Awards and nominations.
Something I'll Tell You Tuesday follows a senior couple on their way to the hospital for a scheduled treatment. Their daughter and her husband arrive to drive them there, but the young couple is in the middle of a big fight. Along the way, the senior couple reminisces about their past together and the similarities to their daughter's relationship.
The Loveliest Afternoon of the Year is set in a park where a woman gets to know a man whom she meets regularly. As the man tells her about his life, the stories become increasingly absurd. The woman begins to weigh the conflict between her loneliness and his apparent madness.
Sophomore stage manager Kellianne Nottelmann describes the plays as being about two different stages of love. "The first [play] is about a matured love as they compare it to their daughter's marriage," says Nottelmann. "And the second is about a very intense and sudden love."
These short tales of love will be performed in the intimate space of the Corner Theatre. Nottelmann sees the smaller venue as advantageous because, "It brings the audience closer to the actors."
Bryan Wakefield is guest directing the performance. Wakefield is a graduate of the NIU School of Theatre and Dance's Master of Fine Arts program in 2007.
Tickets are $5 and can only be purchased the night of the show at the Stevens Building box office in the lobby of the Stevens Building on the DeKalb campus. Tickets go on sale one hour before the show begins. The box office can be reached at (815) 753-1600.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes. Right now there's a problem with casting certain skills. It exists to some degree at all pings, but is particularly noticeable with high latency levels. I've seen quite a few posts complaining about the problem but nothing on how Riot could fix it. This post is meant to change that.
What is the problem?
It seems like spell casting currently works like this:
0. Player presses the button to give the cast order.
1. The client checks whether conditions allow for the spell cast (Is it off cool down? Has the projectile finished moving?)
2. The order is sent to the server.
3. The server resolves the order and if the spell is successfully cast, places the spell on a cool down in the server's game state, and sends a message to update the client's game state accordingly.
4. Once the client receives this message, the spell is put on a cool down/deactivated in the client's game state. A new order to give the spell cannot be sent until this cool down has finished or the spell is reactivated.
A consequence of this is that under ideal network conditions, the minimum time between spell cast orders being sent is equal to the sum of the cool down and the player's ping. This means time between actual spell casts ends up being equal to or greater than this value (depending on things like chasing/moving into range, and whether these factors are compensated for by the player). Basically this means that abilities cannot be cast as quickly as intended.
This effect is particularly noticeable with low cool down abilities like Karthus/Cass Qs. A similar effect is observed with abilities that have multiple activations such as Riven's Q or Lux's and Gragas' detonation abilities. Currently with these abilities, it seems that once the client receives confirmation that the ability has been cast, the ability gets disabled until the client receives confirmation that the second part of the ability is ready.
How can it be fixed?
A solution to both of these effects would be to use the 'client cool down' only for displaying the cool down in the HUD, and not for determining whether or not an ability is able to be cast at a particular time. Instead, all checks on casting conditions should be performed only at the server.
The only complication I can think of with this would be the idea that it would require a change in how cast orders are sent to the server (ie: with the Lux example, having to send 'cast E skill' orders instead of 'launch projectile' and 'detonate projectile'). However testing reveals that, in Lux's case at least, the 'cast E skill' type of orders are already sent, so this style of casting is already possible.
Using smartcasted E on Lux, you can double tap the skill button (before the deactivation step 4 above is performed) in order to queue up the next part of the ability. Sending a new order before the second stage of the ability is ready will cancel this queue, so it is clear that double tapping in this case sends two 'cast E ability' orders instead of a single 'launch and immediately detonate E ability' order. ie: The code for this solution already exists in the game. It just hasn't been implemented fully.
What will this change?
This will eliminate the effect described above where successive spell casts are inevitably performed at a slower rate than the cool down dictates, and skill reactivation has delays introduced by network latency.
In the Gragas' barrel roll example, this will:
*Allow Gragas' barrel to be exploded as soon as it finished moving if it is micro'd correctly.
*Make the time between seperate barrel throws equal to the cooldown of the ability.
This will not:
*Remove the delay between the player telling Gragas to throw a barrel and Gragas throwing the barrel.
*Allow Gragas to throw a second barrel before it comes off cooldown.
*Allow Gragas to detonate his barrel immediately while performing other tasks without giving the orders in a specific... order.
ie. Repeated activations of a multi-part ability will queue in the same way as rapid casts of different abilities already queue.
tl;dr: Check whether an ability is able to be cast at the server side only to eliminate the delays between casts of low cool down skills and different parts of repeated activation skills that are caused by lag. The code for implementing this is already used in the game and it will not allow abilities to be cast more quickly than intended.
Senior Member
While this would solve the issue you want to solve, it might cause other issues. A lot more data would be sent to the sever. That means bandwidth. And that data needs to be processed. That means processing time. It's small optimizations like this (preventing wasteful data when possible) which make server-hosted games feasible.
Now, I obviously have no knowledge of Riot's servers, so this is just conjecture, but it's something to think about.

How to give forgotten urns a second chance
By PointClickHome.comMore in Decorating
Written by Lisa Yakomin
Produced By and Styled by Donna Talley
Photographed by Michael Partenio
Even if you don't have a green thumb, it's worth a trip to your local garden center to dig up one of the most versatile home accessories to come from the garden: decorative urns. Originally intended to hold potted plants, garden urns come in a variety of styles, finishes, and materials that make them ideal for repurposing indoors. Cast-iron, ceramic or cement planters offer durability and strength, while lightweight plastic versions provide flexibility and style for those on a budget. You can also find great bargain urns at home centers, flea markets and discount stores. Transforming them is simple, using creative paint finishes and scrap materials. Here are a few fresh ideas for urns that will have you blooming with pride.
Place a round of painted plywood atop an inexpensive planter to create an Elegant End Table, perfect for a sitting area or living room. Paint the table pale yellow or cream, then apply a bronze glaze to the bas relief portions of the urn to accentuate the pretty raised designs.

Gears of War video -- new maps walkthrough
With new maps for Gears of War hitting consoles today, a lot of you are probably going to wander into them, Lancer in hand, and say ... what the hell?! That's because you ain't used to 'em yet, ya noobs. So, there's a handy dandy video walkthrough for you to watch, and go in forearmed with a tiny bit of knowledge. Not that it'll help you from getting chainsawed out of the blue, but maybe it'll give a tiny bit of an edge.
Check out the video after the jump, and also the individual video map walkthroughs both new maps, Raven Down and Old Bones. Then pray for more maps and game types to come trickling down the Epic pipeline. Maybe even a vehicle we can drive? Please? It's either that or we start the "CliffyB Needs a Haircut, Bad" movement.

What I got is a TableView which is using Prototype Cells and an array feeding the dataSource - depending on the datasource, I'm using a certain Table View Cell identifier to build the cells. (Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong here - I am new to iOS dev and am looking for best practices wherever possible :)
Anyway, one of the Table View Cell I've created in Storyboard has a UITextField. I have it set up in Storyboard GUI that the Return Key is set to 'Done' and 'Auto-enable Return Key' is checked. I've then gone into my controller and used the following code:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
[textField resignFirstResponder];
return YES;
- (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
[textField resignFirstResponder];
NSLog(@"finished change...");
I've also got a 'Editing Did End' event linked to my controller which is coded to output to NSLog.
The Log outputs the text placed in textFieldDidEndEditing and my event function when I hit Return or Done. However, when I select a table cell, or start moving the slider nothing happens - meaning the keyboard is still on the screen.
Is there a way to resolve this?
Also, whilst I've been working on this Prototype Cells, it seems to be rather laborious for what I need. Basically all I require is a basic table to allow the user to edit some settings, so there would be:
2 textfields that can be edited, 1 slider, 2 switches
I placed all of this in a Static UITableView however it did not appear - this is due to a restriction on this type of table requiring a UITableViewController. Is there a way around this?
Sorry for the long post - I'm still getting my head around iOS dev but I am enjoying it so far :)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alex Dickerson added to 40-man roster
Dickerson missed most of the season following heel surgery, but he played well when healthy, batting .321/.367/.496 with three homers over 34 Double-A contests. He's now protected from the Rule 5 Draft.

We are going to be taking next week off, since next week is Thanksgiving week in the US and many of the mods will be traveling and/or visiting with family and friends.

Since this holiday can be a troubling time for lots of folks, and it's a time when some of us most need community, I will be opening and modding a thread mid-week so people can hang out together here, if they want and need company.

We will resume our regular schedule on Monday, December 1.

If you are someone who celebrates Thanksgiving, I hope you have a nice holiday. Safe travels to everyone who may be traveling next week!Melissa McEwanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724196.post-56610593979459798622014-11-21T16:15:00.000-06:002014-11-21T16:15:00.801-06:00The Friday BlogaroundThis blogaround brought to you by dirt.

House Republicans filed a long-threatened lawsuit Friday against the Obama administration over unilateral actions on the health care law that they say are abuses of the president's executive authority.

The lawsuit — filed against the secretaries of the Health and Human Services and Treasury Departments — focuses on two crucial aspects of the way the administration has put the Affordable Care Act into effect.

The suit accuses the Obama administration of unlawfully postponing a requirement that larger employers offer health coverage to their full-time employees or pay penalties. (Larger companies are defined as those with 50 or more employees.)

In July 2013, the administration deferred that requirement until 2015. Seven months later, the administration announced a further delay, until 2016, for employers with 50 to 99 employees.

The suit also challenges what it says is President Obama's unlawful giveaway of roughly $175 billion to insurance companies under the law. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the administration will pay that amount to the companies over the next 10 years, though the funds have not been appropriated by Congress. The lawsuit argues that it is an unlawful transfer of funds.
The unmitigated cheek of Republicans suing a Democratic administration for a corporate giveaway. I am literally without words.Melissa McEwanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724196.post-25306665092790674932014-11-21T14:00:00.000-06:002014-11-21T14:14:23.375-06:00Garbage Treasures! (And Happy Birthday to Deeks!)As you may recall, Deeky collects and saves useless garbage like we're beyond Thunderdome and useless garbage is now a form of currency and he's a garbageaire. Then, instead of throwing it away, he throws pieces of his fancy detritus collection into an envelope and pays money to ship it to me, at which point I put them in plastic treasure chests and put them out by the curb every week to be collected by the "treasure man," who buries them at the "treasure dump" for me for safe keeping.

But not before taking a picture of the bounty so that I can post it, natch.

Clockwise from left: A pamphlet for the Mütter Museum, which is apparently "disturbingly informative"; an "I'm Ready for Hillary" bumper sticker, because Deeks knows how much I love Clinton pressure campaigns THEY ARE MY FAVORITE; an "I voted" sticker; an advertisement for erotic videos, which warns it should be only be opened by recipients interested in perusing a "sexually oriented advertisement," and has already been opened; and a brochure on fraud warning that "cheating the system" is illegal.

This is, by the way, only about half of the total contents of the envelope. Also: Here is what happened the first three times I tried to take the above picture, lol.

As you also may recall, Deeky loves sending me Guy Fieri garbage treasures, and this package arrived with Guy Fieri's trademark "Mop & Slop!" scrawled on its top in Deeky's handwriting.

Before I even opened it, I texted him: "There had better not be some Guy Fieri trash up in this box!" To which he replied: "LOL!!!"

Two minutes later...

Liss: GODDAMMIT I HATE YOU.

Deeks: Hahaha!!!!!!!

And then he texted me a picture of himself holding the bottle before he sent it, which he'd thoughtfully memed for me.

Finally, the package included a bright orange shark friend for me!

We are already having SO MUCH FUN together!
* * *

Whenever I'm having a day where I can't decide about what to write, I text Deeks and ask him, "What should I write about?" And every time, he replies, "Me!"

Since Sunday is his birthday—HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEEKS!—I have decided to do just that.

One of the luckiest things that has ever happened to me because of this blog is meeting and becoming friends with Deeky W. Gashlycrumb.

We have made each other laugh, we have talked about the worst things that have happened to us, we have annoyed the shit out of each other, we have gotten tattooed together, we have watched terrible television via text, we have survived watching Heaven Is for Real together in his lovely Baltimore flat, we have sent each each other obnoxious gifts through the mail, we have eaten the best macaroni and cheese on the planet together, we have talked about movies and music and television shows and politics and culture and food and cats and dogs and love and sex and aging and family and surviving.

We celebrate when one of us has a success, and commiserate when one of us is hurting. Which, you know, is the basic job of being a friend, I guess.

But what makes a friend your family is the hard stuff. We worry about each other; we make sure the other is taking our meds and doing self-care. We always have each other's backs. We don't fucking disappear, and we carry each other's pain when the burden is too much to carry alone. We know when the right thing is to say, "What can I do?" and when the right thing is to make the grossest of jokes, to provide the space to think about something, anything, else.

Which, you know, is not actually the easiest thing for two people who are shy and awkward and selfish and guarded and a thousand miles apart. But Deeks is worth the effort, and I try to make myself worth the effort right back.

My life is better because Deeky is in it. To have a friend like that is a precious thing, and I am very lucky.

I love you, pal. Happy birthday.

When I sat down on the ottoman beside her to give her all the snuggles because she is SUCH A GOOD GIRL, she rolled over onto her back with a big smile on her face, imploring me to rub her belly:

Just look at her! The grin on her face! Naturally, enormous amounts of cuddly belleh rubbing immediately commenced!

[Content Note: Extreme weather; death] The snow has slowed in and around Buffalo, after a truly epic (in the old sense of the world) snowstorm, which caused 13 deaths, including two elderly residents of a nursing home yesterday, who died during an evacuation when the roof began buckling. Buckling roofs and busted doors and windows are the major concern now, and, once such an enormous amount of snow starts melting, flooding will be a major concern. I've been there, after major snows, and it's incredibly stressful. My profound sympathies to everyone who's dealing with this stuff right now.

[CN: Police brutality; racism] Police are arresting protestors every night in Ferguson, because of course they are.

[CN: War on agency] Ohio Republicans are really determined to be choice-restricting assholes: "This week, Republican lawmakers in Ohio pulled out all the stops to advance an extreme anti-abortion bill in the state's lame duck session. They added the legislation to the schedule at the last minute on Thursday morning, and even restructured a House committee—replacing the legislators who oppose the measure with different legislators who support it—to ensure the bill's passage. HB 248, which now heads to a vote in the full House, would criminalize abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, something that typically occurs around six weeks of pregnancy. That shaves off about 17 weeks from the window that [pregnant people] can access legal abortion services under Roe v. Wade. It's also so early that many [people] may not even realize they're pregnant at that point."

[CN: Misogyny] BIG TENT! "House Republicans filled every one of their open committee chair spots with men even though there are more women in Congress than ever before. All nine of the new committee chairs are men, and all are white except for Devin Nunes (R-CA), who is of Portuguese descent and will chair the Intelligence committee. Of 21 House committees, only one will be headed by a woman, Rep. Candice Miller (R-MI), who will chair the House Committee on Administration. The Senate is also likely to only include one female committee chair out of 16, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AL), with the other 15 chairs being white men." It continues to be a real mystery why Republicans aren't connecting with a majority of female voters.

[CN: Homophobia] Goddammit: "Gambia's leader Yahya Jammed signed a bill into law that would imprison citizens for homosexual acts." People who are found guilty of "aggravated homosexuality" will be sentenced to life in prison. Why is this shit happening in Africa now? In large part because of US conservative Christians who are peddling their violent hate gospel over there.

[CN: Privacy violations] Privacy schmivacy! "The ACLU is filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request today for information about a newly revealed Marshals Service program that uses aircraft to suck up location data from tens of thousands of people's cell phones at a time. The U.S. Marshals Service program, exposed last week by the Wall Street Journal, involves Cessna planes equipped with 'cell site simulators' flying from at least five airports around the country. Cell site simulators, also called IMSI catchers, impersonate a wireless service provider's cell tower, prompting cell phones and other wireless devices to communicate with them instead of the nearest tower. In doing do so, the simulators can learn all sorts of information that facilitates accurate location tracking, including the electronic serial numbers and other information about the phone and the direction and strength of the phone's signal." Neat! America 2.0 is terrific!

An older sister shared (with permission) her younger brother's text conversation with his best friend during which he came out to him. It is probably the best thing you'll read all day.

This is just an amazing video of a crow using the lid of a jar to ski down a roof. The great thing about being a skiing bird is that you've got your own build-in ski lift!

Officer Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, may resign from the force:

Officer Darren Wilson is close to resigning from the Ferguson Police Department as a grand jury continues to decide whether to indict him in the fatal shooting of an unarmed teen.

Various media outlets, including CNN, have reported that Wilson has told associates he would resign to help ease tensions and protect his fellow officers ahead of the grand jury announcement.
Oh fuck off forever.

First of all, why is his resignation even an option for him? He should have been fired months ago.

Secondly, there aren't instruments sufficient to measure my contempt for this guy positioning himself as some kind of martyr who will resign to protect other officers, allowing him to then claim responsibility for "easing tensions" if he is indicted and the world does not, in fact, blow up as he and every other asshole from Ferguson to Fartsville is predicting it will.

That is some kind of extraordinary chutzpah, right there. "If people don't riot, it will be because of my generous peacemaking gesture!" Dude. The only reason there is a possibility of riots is because you are a cruel murderous fuck.

Let us all take a second to appreciate that the officer who totally definitely for sure didn't shoot Michael Brown in the street because of racism is implying that he is a white savior who will sacrifice himself in order to protect other people from violent hordes of black protestors.

This fucking guy.Melissa McEwanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724196.post-48198493075736182952014-11-21T08:30:00.000-06:002014-11-21T08:30:00.458-06:00So the President Gave a Speech Last Night......in which he announced a series of executive actions on immigration that will provide at least temporary relief to nearly five million undocumented immigrants in the US.

Some relevant links:

* The transcript of his address.

* The White House Fact Sheet on the announced executive actions.

* Sahil Kapur's helpful "All You Need to Know" piece at TPM.

Naturally, of course my garbage nightmare governor wants to sue the President to stop the executive action. And if he doesn't do it, some other garbage nightmare governor will. Or maybe they'll do it together! Cute.

My take is that it's something, and that's good, but it's insufficient, which is bad. I basically need a macro to insert that as a response to virtually every single Democratic policy that gets enacted in Washington.

Anyway.

Last night, after hearing some conservatives complaining about how "illegal immigrants" (*grinds teeth*) don't pay taxes (which is not universally true), I said to Iain: "Those same conservatives bitterly complain about paying taxes all the time and constantly argue for ever greater tax cuts. They want an effective tax rate of 0%. So why do they even care if undocumented workers don't pay taxes? JEALOUSY?"

Relatedly, I've found that people who complain about undocumented workers' failure to pay taxes don't respond well to having it pointed out to them that the best way to ensure people can and do pay taxes is via amnesty.

Most of them have something in mind, often something they've made (yay!), but occasionally someone will ask me if I want or need anything. And I usually respond, extremely gratefully, by recommending a charity to which a donation can be made.

But this year, I am letting you all know now that if you want to get me something, please buy me the $4,739 gold-plated Easy Health Angel Juicer which Gwyneth Paltrow has included on her annual Goop Gift Guide.

"Absurd, but awesome."
And don't worry if several of you end up buying one for me haha! I know normally that would be a real OOPSIE, but multiples just means I won't have to lug my $4,739 gold-plated Easy Health Angel Juicer between Shakes Manor, our house in the Hamptons, and our gold-plated mansion on the moon.

You're all the best! Can't wait for my juicer(s)! *wink*Melissa McEwanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724196.post-21314918513342107232014-11-20T16:00:00.000-06:002014-11-20T16:17:36.557-06:00Whut.[Content Note: Misogynoir; racism.]

I don't even know where to fucking begin:

The children's author Daniel Handler has apologized for an "ill-conceived" joke he made about the black American writer Jacqueline Woodson while hosting the National Book Awards.

When Woodson collected her prize for young people's literature, Handler, who writes as Lemony Snicket, joked about her being allergic to watermelon.

"My job at last night's National Book Awards #NBAwards was to shine a light on tremendous writers, including Jacqueline Woodson and not to overshadow their achievements with my own ill-conceived attempts at humor. I clearly failed, and I'm sorry," Handler said on Twitter.

Woodson won her award for Brown Girl Dreaming, a poetic memoir about growing up in South Carolina and New York in the 1960s and 70s, and coming to an awareness of the civil-rights movement. She was the only non-white finalist in the category.

After she ended her acceptance speech, Handler returned to the stage.

"I said that if she won I would tell all of you something I learned about her this summer. Jackie Woodson is allergic to watermelon. Just let that sink in your minds," he said. "I said, 'You have to put that in a book.' And she said, 'You put that in a book.' And I said, 'I'm only writing a book about a black girl who's allergic to watermelon if you, Cornel West, Toni Morrison and Barack Obama say, 'This guy's OK.'"

After a few jittery laughs from the audience, Handler added: "We'll talk about it later."
You know what? You fuck up this badly, on this vast a scale, "ill-conceived attempts at humor" doesn't cut it. Especially because it's not "ill-conceived attempts at humor" for which you need to apologize. It's vile racism directed at a black woman in her moment of professional triumph.

Which, sure, created a controversy that has "overshadowed" Jacqueline Woodson, but, rather more importantly, demeaned her in the very moment, the one fucking moment, in which she was meant to be celebrated, honored, respected, admired. Not belittled by some racist jackass.

What a cruel, selfish thing to do. And how further cruel and selfish to try to pass it off as a failed joke.

Jamie Oliver is basically a professional bully, who has, among other things, donned a fat suit as part of his eliminationist campaign against fat people, so I'm not entirely surprised that he's publicly bragging about being a bully to his own kid:

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver said recently that he secretly gave his 12-year-old daughter, Poppy, one of the world's hottest peppers in order to discipline her, according to The Daily Mail.

At the recent BBC Good Food show, Oliver said, "Poppy was quite disrespectful and rude to me and she pushed her luck. In my day I would have got a bit of a telling-off but you are not allowed to do that. Five minutes later she thought I had forgotten and I hadn't. She asked for an apple. I cut it up into several pieces and rubbed it with Scotch Bonnet and it worked a treat."

"She ran up to mum and said, 'This is peppery'. I was in the corner laughing. [My wife, Jools] said to me, 'Don't you ever do that again.'"

How spicy is a Scotch Bonnet pepper? It ranks a whopping 100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville heat unit scale; for comparison, a jalepeño has a score of 3,000 to 6,000 units.
That is not "discipline." That is child abuse.

It's an excellent lesson, though, if what he wanted to teach her was that she can't trust her father.

And, totally aside from the gross parenting issue, I'm pretty sure most professional chefs would find it appalling that any chef would want to instill in any child an association between food and harm.

It's bad enough this guy continues to have show after show after miserable show, without the media cheerily passing on his "cute" anecdotes about betraying the trust of his own kid.

House Republicans have passed legislation that forbids scientists from advising the Environmental Protection Agency on their own research: "In what might be the most ridiculous aspect of the whole thing, the bill forbids scientific experts from participating in 'advisory activities' that either directly or indirectly involve their own work. In case that wasn't clear: experts would be forbidden from sharing their expertise in their own research—the bizarre assumption, apparently, being that having conducted peer-reviewed studies on a topic would constitute a conflict of interest. 'In other words,' wrote Union of Concerned Scientists director Andrew A. Rosenberg in an editorial for RollCall, 'academic scientists who know the most about a subject can't weigh in, but experts paid by corporations who want to block regulations can.'" Perfect.

[Content Note: Guns; death] Three students at Florida State University were wounded during a shooting on campus, one of whom is in critical condition. The gunman was killed by police. So far, there are no additional details about the shooting.

[CN: Sexual assault] Another woman has disclosed that she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby.

[CN: Extreme weather; death] Areas already hammered by massive snowfall have been hit again: "A second band of lake-effect snow pounded the cities and towns near Buffalo, New York, on Thursday, heaping more misery on people whose cars and even houses were already buried. Authorities confirmed an eighth death blamed on the storm, a 60-year-old man who had a heart attack while retrieving his snowblower. The storm had already dumped more snow than many places see in a full season—even in wintry western New York. Some homes had the equivalent weight of two or three pickup trucks bearing down on their roofs." Fuck.

The US Senate takes a small (and thus insufficient) step to improve childcare for low-income families by reauthorizing the Child Care and Development Block Grant.

RIP Mike Nichols. I just watched Working Girl for about the billionth time last weekend. Sigh.

The Associated Press FTW: "Two presidents have acted unilaterally on immigration—and both were Republican. Ronald Reagan and his successor George H.W. Bush extended amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986. Neither faced the political uproar widely anticipated if and when President Barack Obama uses his executive authority to protect millions of immigrants from deportation." Seriously, go read that whole article. It's amazing.

"The Republicans have a pretty simple philosophy: They say if those at the top have more—more power for Wall Street players to do whatever they want and more money for tax cuts than somehow they can be counted on to build the economy for everyone else. Well, we tried it for 30 years and it didn't work. In fact the consequences were nearly catastrophic. We tested the Republican ideas and they failed; they failed spectacularly."—Democratic Senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren, being awesome.

There is an absolutely breathtaking article in Fortune today, accompanied by an image of Chinese children stretching poolside at a "fat camp," because the pathologization of fat children (who are often merely children about to have a growth spurt) is all the rage these days.

Actual Headline: "Fat-the $2 trillion burden on the world's economy." Note how profoundly othering that is: Fat is a burden on the world. As if we are not part of the world. This is a common rhetorical device I've highlighted before, often in discussions about how "taxpayers' money" is being somehow wasted on fat people, as if fat people ourselves aren't taxpayers.

Actual Lede: "Obesity is now a threat to the world economy to rival war and terrorism, according to a new report published Thursday."

Holy shit.

This is what I'm talking about when I say there is an eliminationist campaign against fat people. We are compared to fucking terrorists.

And that heinous demonization is done on the basis of studies on higher healthcare costs and lost productivity which are total bullshit. They are based on correlations and "obesity related diseases" that not only fat people have, and not all fat people have.

They fail utterly, utterly, to account for prejudice against fat people in medical care: Major illnesses missed because symptoms are misattributed to weight; fat people discouraged from seeking preventative care because of bias. They frequently do not address or control for systemic factors contributing to weight gain.

These numbers are totally cooked, and they're being used to compare us to motherfucking terrorists.

Obesity in and of itself doesn't kill. But fat hatred does. And this, right here, is some rank fat hatred.

Former Democratic Senator from Virginia Jim Webb has launched a 2016 presidential exploratory committee:

Webb became the first well-known Democrat to launch an exploratory committee to run for president on Wednesday night, saying the nation is at a "serious crossroads."

"I have decided to launch an Exploratory Committee to examine whether I should run for President in 2016," Webb said in a four-page letter on his website, Webb2016.

"I made this decision after reflecting on numerous political commentaries and listening to many knowledgeable people. I look forward to listening and talking with more people in the coming months as I decide whether or not to run."

...Webb, who was Ronald Reagan's Navy secretary and who has held centrist views on a number of issues, has been bolstered by progressive news outlet The Nation as a potential challenge from the left to Hillary Clinton, the dominant front-runner who hasn't yet said if she will launch a second national campaign.
Many knowledgeable people have told him to run. No doubt many of the same knowledgeable people who advise Democrats to run further to the right if they want to win elections.

Webb, a former Republican, wrote an essay for the Washingtonian in 1979 titled "Women Can't Fight," in which he argued that there was no place for women in combat and therefore no place for them at the Naval Academy. By 2006, he had changed his mind about women in the military, and chuckled as he said he regretted saying "the Naval Academy is a horny woman's dream."

What Webb has not, to my knowledge, been asked if he regrets, from the same essay, is asserting that changing gender roles (i.e. feminism) is responsible for increased violence against women:

The United States also has one of the most alarming rates of male-to-female violence in the world: Rapes increased 230 percent from 1967 to 1977 and the much-publicized wife-beating problem cuts across socioeconomic lines.

These are not separate issues, either politically or philosophically. They are visible peaks in what has become a vast bog. They are telling us something about the price we are paying, in folly on the one hand and in tragedy on the other, for the realignment of sexual roles.
Emphasis mine.

More recently, in 2010, Webb penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal about "the myth of white privilege."

So, basically, he's a dreamboat candidate for liberals who believe that a winning strategy for Democrats is to go after conservative white men.

Anyway. Now that Webb has officially entered the fray, maybe we can call a moratorium on think pieces about how Hillary Clinton's failure to announce her candidacy is ruinous for all the menfolk who want to run.

Looks like men can make their own decisions independent of Hillary Clinton after all. Imagine that.Melissa McEwanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724196.post-34272930924713428872014-11-20T08:30:00.000-06:002014-11-20T08:41:59.301-06:00Transgender Day of Remembrance[Content Note: Transphobia; violence.]

A candle burns at Shakes Manor.
Today marks the 16th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, which is "set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the 'Remembering Our Dead' web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester's murder—like most anti-transgender murder cases—has yet to be solved."

The official TDOR website has documented the killing of 81 trans* people this year. Which is only a small picture, as it turns out: Transgender Europe's Trans Murder Monitoring project is reporting 226 cases of reported killings of trans* people in the last year, across 28 countries.

Two hundred and twenty-six people known to have been killed as a result of hatred and ignorance.

Julia Serano, a trans activist and author of the oft-mentioned Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, has noted that transphobia kills not just by violent action, but apathetic inaction.

Trans people are often targeted for violence because their gender presentation, appearance and/or anatomy falls outside the norms of what is considered acceptable for a woman or man. A large percentage of trans people who are killed [work in the sex trade], and their murders often go unreported or underreported due to the public presumption that those engaged in sex work are not deserving of attention or somehow had it coming to them.

Some trans people are killed as the result of being denied medical services specifically because of their trans status, for example, Tyra Hunter, a transsexual woman who died in 1995 after being in a car accident. EMTs who arrived on the scene stopped providing her with medical care—and instead laughed and made slurs at her—upon discovering that she had male genitals.
The 2001 documentary Southern Comfort details the last year in the life of Robert Eads, who died of ovarian cancer after two dozen doctors refused him treatment.

That's the kind of hate crime that doesn't make headlines. Or even federal hate crimes statistics.

We remember all the victims of violence and apathy today.

A day that I wish, that we all wish, didn't have to exist at all.

I hate that there are trans* people who die, because of hatred and neglect and ostracization, and I hate there are people who have to document each and every one of those deaths, committed to an important project the best possible result of which would be that it ends because we don't need it anymore. Because there are no more deaths to document.

Gwendolyn Ann Smith, the founder of TDOR, writes movingly here about the history and import of the day. About why we need it still.

No oppression has ever been eradicated by a careful, polite, diligent deference to pretending it doesn't exist. That is the importance of a day of remembrance.

No oppression has ever been eradicated without meaningful inclusion and visibility, either, which slowly chips away at the privilege that underwrites marginalization. That is the importance of vigilance in community every day of the year.

I'd like to avoid the repetitious code-bloat and typing tedium of defining "C-struct-like" classes like:
class Foo {
int x;
float y;
String z;
public Foo(int x, float y, String z) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
? E.g. are there any Eclipse tricks that may be helpful here?
To see what I mean by "code-bloat", compare the above with what it takes to define the corresponding struct in C:
struct foo {
int x;
float y;
char *z;
Each member field is mentioned only once, whereas in the Java code it needs to be mentioned three times (one of them in the form of the corresponding constructor argument).

I bottled my mead into wine bottles yesterday. I thought it was completely fermented out. When I open my first test bottle today (yes, I was impatient), I hear a 'pop' when I uncork. I don't see fizzing when I pour, but I do see a few small bubbles stuck to the wall of the wine glass I poured it into.
I'm using the synthetic corking material.
Do I have two dozen bottle bombs on my hand?
What to do next?
Check the SG and see if it's fermented or not. It might be just "gassy", if you put it in the bottle fairly quickly, it might not have had time to naturally degas. Or it could still be fermenting. I can't say without knowing the hydrometer reading.
If you use corks, in my experience (before I learned to degas), the corks will pop out before the bottle will explode.
"You never can tell with bees." --Winnie the Pooh
Noob mead question - what is 'degas' ?
Removing the residual CO2 from the Mead.
Primary #1: 3 Gallons Apple Cider
Primary #2:3 Gallons EdWorts Apfelwein
Primary #3:1 Gallon Joes Ancient Orange
Secondary #1: 2.5 Gallons of Cranberry Mead
Secondary #2: 1 gallon of Blueberry Mead
All right, how is that done?
I made the mistake of bottling my first mead at around 1.005 IIRC with a couple carb tabs, thinking it was stable. yeah, it was stuck from excessive racking, no bombs but insanely funny (think champagne with a good shake)
Thanks a lot. Yeah the gravity did hit .998, hopefully I'm safe. Worst case scenario I'm out a few bottles and have a bit of a mess to clean up.
If you search degasing, there are 2 techniques described on the forums, and there are videos. One uses a food saver vacuum pump, and the other uses a wine saver stopper and hand vacuum pump. Both appeared to work and i am currently testing it on a show mead that has been bulk aging a few months.

Warren County Freeholders discuss Warren Haven options
The Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders decided to move forward with a study to be conducted by Marcus & Millichap concerning options for Warren Haven, the long-term healthcare facility in the County.
The Freeholders have been discussing various options of what to do regarding Warren Haven due to the increase in costs and lack of an increase in state funding. According to Freeholder Director Jason Sarnoski, state funding has remained the same since 2011 and will continue to remain stagnant for at least another year.
"I think we should put together an ad-hoc advisory committee for Warren Haven," commented Sarnoski.
Sarnoski suggested composing a committee of five members, including residents of the County and the Human Services Department. Fellow Freeholder Richard Gardner suggested adding a medical professional and a businessman to this panel. The Freeholders suggested creating this committee in order to help look at every option regarding Warren Haven and to make the best decision possibly for the facility, the residents, and the County.
"We want to provide the best possible care for our residents and we won't be able to provide it if the funding continues to decline," commented Sarnoski. "We need to find new ways to provide care," he continued.
Gardner stated that he is aware of other long-term healthcare facilities, both in and out of New Jersey, that have "turned things around" and he plans on seeing what they have done and bring some suggestions back to the Freeholders.
Along with the composition of an ad-hoc committee, the Freeholders have decided to move forward with the study suggested to them by Marcus & Millichap regarding Warren Haven. Marcus & Millichap will be doing a study on Warren Haven and will come back to the Freeholders with suggests on how to either increase revenue at the facility or how to save on costs.
Although the Freeholders are committing to this study, "this is not a declaration of privatization," stated Sarnoski.
According to Sarnoski, there is no cost to the County and the Freeholders are not obligated to make any decisions based off of this study.

A little bit sultry, a whole lotta rock'n'roll these sheer stockings boast a fierce punk-delicate band of silver studs up the front of the leg. It makes gams go on for miles and turns an LBD into kind-of-a-big-deal. Roxette, you don't have to put on any dress tonight.

Classic and cozy and cheeky and delectably old fashioned, these over-the-knee stretch knit "socks" have a knitted-in-heel and touch of angora for utter softness.
Forgive us if we can't stop doing (gorgeous) high-kicks, we're pretty excited about these impeccable 30 denier stockings. They're practically perfect in every way.
Hello sweet petit pois! We love dots, and these delightfully sheer, slinky tactile dotted hose are right on the money. Sophisticated with a pencil skirt, party with a pouf.
