Hermione's first two months had Hogwarts went by well.
She spent all her time with Harry and Ron now. She and Ron still fought but not nearly as much as they did before. They just had clashing personalities that also fit together perfectly.
Harry was very excited when Quidditch season about was keen to tell Ron and Hermione all about it, though Ron was the only one interested.
Saturday was the first Quidditch game - Gryffindor against Slytherin and if Gryffindor won they'd be put in second place for the House Championship.
Hermione was glad to help Harry through his homework and even lend him Quidditch Through the Ages.
Hermione had never had a friend before and was happy to help Harry when he needed it.
Hermione couldn't be happier. Now that she wasn't stressed out about avoiding rule breaking she was much more relaxed and more people liked her.
Of course Parvati and Lavender were still horrible to her, but that didn't matter.
She had friends - real friends - not like Neville Longbottom - not that Hermione had something against Neville. He was still nice.
It was the day before the first Quidditch match and it was absolutely freezing in Scotland.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were out in the courtyard and all of them were in their Gryffindor scarfs, and wearing large coats to keep warm, but just couldn't.
"Why does it have to be so cold?!" shrieked Ron.
Harry shivered vigorously.
Ron had just finished a small jar of jam inside. He was eating it with his breakfast but Hermione took it from him now that he was done with it and whispered, "Incendio!"
They now had a warm, bright, blue fire in the empty jar to warm them.
Then they noticed a very curious sight.
Professor Snape was limping across the yard.
The three moved closer together to hide the fire from his view, knowing he would knock points off from Gryffindor for an unfair reason if he saw it. Sadly, something about their guilty expression made Snape suspicious and he limped over.
He hadn't seen the fire but he wanted to tell them off anyway.
"What's that you've got there, Potter?"
Harry showed his his copy of Quidditch Through the Ages.
"Library books are not to be taken outside the school. Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor." Hermione squinted at him. That was no real rule. She had brought library books of out school thousands of times.
"He's just made that rule up!" muttered Harry angrily.
Snape was now limping away.
"Wonder what's wrong with his leg?" said Harry. Ron sneered. "I dunno, but I hope it's really hurting him.
. . .
When they entered the Gryffindor common room that evening it was particularly noisy. Harry and Ron had given Hermione their homework to look over, but Ron was uneasy about it. "What can't you just let us copy your work down?" asked Ron.
"Oh, Ron," sighed Hermione. "How will you learn?"
Hermione began crossing off answers for them. "Oh, no, no, no, Ron. Didn't I tell you it can be used as an oven cleaner - not stove."
Ron rolled his eyes.
"What's the difference? Why do I need to know which magical blood cleans what Muggle kitchen suppliants?
Suddenly, Harry got up. "I'm going to ask Snape for my book back," said Harry.
"Better you than me," said Ron and Hermione in harmony.
"Oh, gosh Ron, if it wasn't for me I promise you that you would have failed this assignment." "How was I supposed to know all this stuff?" asked Ron.
"It's called reading," answered Hermione.
"And it seems you don't do much of it."
"Just finish my homework," snapped Ron. "I'm checking it, not doing it. You correct it," she said, giving him the paper and getting out a book.
Harry was back before they knew it. "Did you get it?" asked Ron.
"No," Harry whispered. " I went to go get my book when I heard Snape and Filch talking. Snape was telling him he had gotten bitten by the three-headed dog we had seen. I tried to shut the door but he caught me and he was really angry - even angrier than Professor McGonagall about the troll. He screamed at me to go away. I hurried before he could take any points from Gryffindor. You know what this mean?" he asked.

Medium to Dark Roast Coffee, Whole Beans
- o
- oxygenozone Jul 10, 2011 03:38 PM
I've been using Black Gold Organic coffee from Groundworks for a while now.
I like medium to dark roast style of whole beans, have a good burr coffee mill at home to grind the beans fresh.
Any suggestions for favorite medium to dark roast whole beans where I can buy anywhere in So Cali?
I'm open to San Diego to Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, local coffee roasters.
Mail order is fine but its nice to visit the location to pick up the beans.
Tried a bag of Old Grandpa organic from Urth Caffe once, it was pretty good but pricey.
I pick up beans in SF from Philz and Blue Bottle when I am up there.
Thanks for any suggestions.
The Oaks roasts their coffee frequently, and will actually roast it to order. We had a delicious French roasted Sumatra Mandeeling last week. It's obviously a dark roast, very rich and flavorful. They also have other beans and roasts. And as a bonus, the service seems to have improved a little.
We've also had good luck with The Conservancy in Culver City.
We've had a couple of bad experiences with Blue Bottle, so we're going local for a while.
Oaks Gourmet
1915 N Bronson Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90068
another vote for the Conservatory in Culver City. they roast their beans in-house, and the employees are helpful and friendly. i'm also partial to the beans at Kings Road Cafe - they roast their own as well.
Kings Road Cafe
8361 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Conservatory For Coffee
10117 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232
The oldest coffee house in Santa Barbara is Vices & Spices at Ontare & State. I visit daily on my yearly trip to Santa Barbara. They have a very interesting blend, humorously termed Obama Blend, consisting of Hawaiian, Indonesian, and Kenyan. The combo works, and I think fits your requirements.
re: ArtShapiro
Want custom roast with single origin beans? Trystero is your friend: http://trysterocoffee.com/
Small batch, fresh roast, shipped immediately. $19 for 14 oz shipped. Cheaper than NW/Central Coast roasting co (unless you go through ROASTe)
They have a Sumatra Mandheling Red Badger in stock as we speak.
I buy and really enjoy the Peerless Coffee - Hawaiian Island Blend (Medium and Dark Roast Beans) I get in 2lb bags at Smart & Final. Flame away...

10113 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Portola Coffee Lab in Costa Mesa, just off the 405. I'd suggest Kean but he doesn't do dark roast—he's one of the light-roast disciples. (Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.)
Portola Coffee Lab
3313 Hyland Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
What about Diedrich's?
I think King's Road has the best tasting regular coffee in Los Angeles.
Whole Foods also does a nice job of roasting a wide variety of beans.
Kings Road Cafe
8361 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048
re: scottca075
Martin Diedrich—the guy originally behind Diedrich's—now runs Kean Coffee in Newport Beach and Tustin and is not affiliated with Diedrich Coffee at all. I don't know if the Diedrich's coffee roasterie is open to the public.
Kean, as I said upthread, does not do much with dark roast. He believes lighter roasts reveal the coffee's flavour more accurately.

There is a mini coffee revolution going on in LA, and there are many worthy places to buy beans.

re: keepon
Cafe de Leche (serves Stumptown Hairbender and a couple of single origins) is very worthy of being a part of this list, too. I'm usually a coffee purist but I can't resist their Horchata con Espresso.
Cafe De Leche
5000 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042
re: scarmoza
Yep, I love Cafe de Leche and Cognoscenti. And I need to check out Broome St since they're right up the street.
re: keepon
Nice list, will check them out. Thanks
I get all my coffee beans from Jones Coffee in Pasadena. They carry a variety of beans of various origin for their blends, and a lot of beans from their family's own plantation in Guatemala. All roast levels available.If you order early enough in the day on their web site, UPS will be delivering the beans the next day.
re: ChinoWayne
Now that is a true coffee Jones... ;-D>
re: ChinoWayne
Thanks for the tip on Jones. Along the same lines, TiGeorge imports coffee from his family plantation in Haiti. We've tried it in the restaurant, and it was pretty good. But I haven't bought any beans. I'm glad you reminded me. I'll try some and report back.
re: ChinoWayne
Jones isn't bad, but if you're picky about fresh roasts, be careful. On two occasions, I asked when the beans were roasted, and both times the person helping me dodged the question (and I'm pretty sure the surlier of the two was one of the owners).
re: badmeow
and if in Pasadena, the alternative to Jones would be Jameson Brown. They've been ambiguous about their roasting date.
I would definitly take a look at the Funnel Mill in Santa Monica, they have a great selection of rare coffee strands. You could also buy them buy the cup and try them out while there.
Funnel Mill
930 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA
i can't rave enough about cafecito organico coffees. they are absolutely delicious, not to mention organically and sustainably grown, with very distinct flavor profiles in each variety. my favorites are the el salvador and ethiopia. plus they have a location next to scoops so you have an excuse to drop by and get some chocolate guinness ice cream to go with your espresso.
I sampled some "Dark Roast" at Trader Joe's last week. I'm no coffee conoisseur, but it tasted pretty darn good to me. It was billed as "100% Arabica". Maybe a blend?
Conservatory for Coffee Tea and Cocoa in Culver City. They have a variety of beans and roasts, they do all the roasts themselves in house, in smallish batches. I've never seen them sell beans older than 2 days (2 days can be good because some/most beans time to degas).
Intelligentsia (any location) and Spring for Coffee (which carries Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle, Stumptown, Ritual, and possibly others) are the places I recommend for picking beans up in person. I will also note that you can also purchase great beans, roasted recently, online from a few top-notch purveyors. See, e.g., http://www.terroircoffee.com/ Let me also mention another useful site: http://www.coffeereview.com/
If you want the easy bean fix, go to Intelligentsia or Jones. I've also had some great Thai beans at Jameson Brown.
If you're willing to wait a bit, do it yourself...www.sweetmarias.com
You control the roast...it's easier than you think.

A good quality product. Pleasing to use and much more effective than my previous axe (which lost it's head)
Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No
By Nick on 24/09/2014
An absolutely brilliant piece of kit and a 100% recommendation for both splitter and supplier !
By Kerry pemberton on 04/09/2014
I have other fiskars kit which i have been very pleased with, hence was drawn to his product. This axe is no exception, it is an excellent piece of kit.
the build quality is excellent and it is well balanced. I would expect a new axe to glide through most reasonably sized logs, but using this was effortless. Tellingly, the axe had no problem splitting very knotted wood, and this was far easier than with my existing axe.
the axe comes with a nifty 'head protector' which is useful.
i would recommend this splitting axe if you don't mind spending that bit extra.
By David palmer on 09/08/2014
Ordered this because of great reviews . Not disappointed excellent when splitting logs and very comfortable to use.
By Ian on 16/07/2014
I'm new to splitting logs, so bought this axe based on web reviews.
i am not disappointed. Ok, i've never tried any other axe or splitter, but for what i want, it's great. Not too heavy, and with a good swing, will split most seasoned logs first time.
stays sharp, and no adverse shocks through the handle.
i would recommend this axe.
By Simon lillico on 14/07/2014
Wow. For years i have been splitting logs with a maul, and it is hard work. A friend bought one of these splitting axes and sang its praises, so thought i would give it a go. Half the weight of the maul, and splits logs much more easily. Had been worried that it would stick in logs (a problem common to normal axes) but it really does not. Excellent tool. Really cannot recommend enough.
By Ashley may on 11/07/2014
As most arborists will tell you, this is probably the best splitting axe at any price. The anti-stick blade really works and is much more easily removed when wedged in a log than a maul's. The lightweight construction means more accuracy and speed (and less strain on you). Having previously used heavy mauls i'm now converted. A pleasure to use. But mind your toes - it's very sharp!
By Paddy on 19/06/2014
An outstanding high quality axe, would highly recommend. Great service and delivery. Thank you.
By Gary on 05/05/2014
Well i have found this to be a great axe. Ok it's light and wasnt sure how strong it would be but i really cant find fault at this stage. i've chopped about 4 cube of logs so far and its still super sharp.
great product and seems to put up well with heavy use.
By Mark on 19/03/2014
Did a bit of homework prior to choosing this axe. The build quality is excellent and it is very nicely balanced. Not too heavy but allows a well-aimed swing at speed giving excellent results. Free sharpener was a bonus (thanks!) and with the handle / guard, its the complete package when it comes to log-splitting. Highly recommended.

Glamorous restaurant...in Boston.
- w
- wandergirl Dec 3, 2012 08:19 PM
My manager's wife would like to be taken somewhere "glamorous" for her birthday...a restaurant where she can dress up, have good food, and perhaps go dancing afterwards. They are in their 50s and moderately adventurous eaters. As an example of their taste, they enjoy Eastern Standard Kitchen, Island Creek Oyster Bar, etc.
He asked for my advice but both he and I are a bit stumped over this (and we aren't entirely sure what she means by "glamorous"). When I searched for "glamorous" in the Boston section of Chowhound, exactly one result came up (and it didn't have anything to do with a glamorous restaurant!).
I've thought of L'Espalier or Menton (maybe with a visit to Drink or Lucky's Lounge afterwards) but other ideas would be appreciated.
I think you're on the right track with L'Espalier and Menton. My impression is that the Oak Long Bar & Kitchen has more opulent decor than those two, but what do I know? I haven't been to any of them. I can tell you firsthand that neither Drink or Lucky's fits the bill. Wherever they end up eating, they should cab it to The Hawthorne afterward for a more glamorous cocktail experience, unless it's a weekend, when any decent lounge/bar is too packed for glamor.
re: pollystyrene
I have to disagree about the Oak Long Bar & Kitchen. Before the renovation, the Oak Bar had an element of glamor. Now it's just a temporarily buzzy spot that I'm betting is just a flash in the pan. RIP Oak Bar. *sob*
Sorellina across the street is a good idea.
I love the idea of an old-fashioned supper club, a posh nightclub with good food, drinks, live music and dancing, but that seems quaint by modern standards. I tell folks who want to dance after dinner to inquire about that separately from the where-to-dine question.
I like Menton and L'Espalier as occasion-dining places, but their crowds mostly strike me as square and prosperous, not glamorous. Ditto places whose food I like where a mostly older crowd dresses up a bit, like No. 9 and Hamersley's. You could say the same about the many high-end steak places, fancy-hotel restaurants, and celeb-chef joints that many of us rely on for big nights out.
If you want a place where people are a bit more style-consciously dressed up for a fancy meal, I'd look to restaurants like Sorellina, Mistral, Clio/Uni (all with worthy if expensive food in my book) and perhaps Oishii Boston and the new Oak Long Bar (which are fine but less interesting food-wise to me). I expect the brand-new Cinquecento hopes to have that kind of crowd.
There are places that combine a nightclub vibe with food, where people don the current 20/30-something idea of being dressed up for a weekend night out, but I suspect this might not be what 50-somethings will appreciate, and I'm generally not excited by the food at them. The Empire / Gem / Red Lantern troika is one of these, as are Clink and Alibi at the Liberty Hotel.
I guess Boston is mostly just a doesn't-care-about-glamour kind of town when it comes to dining out. Women still put in an effort; most guys rarely go beyond an untucked collared dress shirt and "nice jeans". No Boston restaurateur can afford to have much of a dress code these days: the culture has just gotten too used to the idea that very casual dress should fit every occasion. And I don't know many folks over the age of 30 who want dancing as part of their evening anymore.
re: MC Slim JB
I agree with MC Slim overall, but I actually think that Clink or Scampo in the Liberty Hotel might be just the ticket. Market in the W Hotel might be a good choice too.
Coppa and Toro also have a cool vibe to them that might be appropriate.
re: lipoff
I have to disagree with Clink and Scampo being anything near glamorous. The Liberty is a loud scene, but I've yet to detect its magnetism. Coppa and Toro are pretty casual, elbow-to-elbow places.
re: lipoff
Toro's 'cool' and delicious, but in my experience with the place, I don't think many people's idea of 'glamorous' includes standing outside for a few hours waiting for a table.
re: lipoff
i like Coppa but do not think that glamorous is a word to describe it.
I love the idea of a supper club with dancing, but i think that you will have to go to NYC in th 1950s for that or perhaps Las Vegas; i have never been there.
I just ate at Le Bernadin in NYC; I consider that a glamorous restaurant.
re: cambridgedoctpr
Somehow this thread would not have been complete without a certain someone mentioning Le Bernadin or Jean Georges for the 100,000th time even though they still remain located in another city not covered by this board :)
Given the stated preference for Island Creek which I think is one of the most stylish decors in Boston, I thought of Sorellina, Mistral and Rialto (the Regattabar is a plus just upstairs but often closed in this period). And though it is no Jean Georges, Market by Jean Georges might be a possibility as well. Someone also mentioned Bond which could work though I don't think the food would be as good as at most of these but that might not be the focus.
re: Bob Dobalina
I'd agree the NYC call.
There's nothing glamorous about Menton, unless high prices makes you feel special.
re: Bob Dobalina
Bingo!!! Take the Acela down, pay the bucks go first class, get off in Penn Station and there is no shortage of glamorous restaurants.
re: Bob Dobalina
Even in NYC, restaurants and night clubs largely have gone their separate ways. There are exceptions - The Darby, for example, on 14th St. -- but while NYC of course has no shortage of great restaurants, and great sophisticated restaurants, I'm not sure which ones qualify as "glamorous" in the sense that the OP is using the word. Boston has really good sophisticated restaurants, too, although small in number compared to NYC.
The dining room at Miel is pretty glamorous. I've only been once, a few years ago, but I remember lots of white and gilded surfaces. We were there with a group and weren't out of place all dressed up.
I haven't heard anyone mention Bond yet, but I think it could be a pretty good fit here. That, to me, is a very "glamorous" sort of place. You might get a wannabe crowd on a Saturday, or something, but like others have mentioned, there is no 100% surefire option. If I was taking your average 50 year old woman out I'd feel pretty confident doing Bond. The space itself is going to do 75% of the work.
re: FinnFPM
Bond is a great suggestion. Top of the hub has dancing. The reviews on their food is mixed.
re: FinnFPM
i am a 40-something woman and i cannot abide bond. yes, the room is pretty, but the crowd is horrible (at least during the week), the service haphazard at best and the food forgettable.
of all the rooms listed for dining, i think clio or sorrelina are the nicest. mistral is loud with lots of hard surfaces and hasn't had a face-lift in almost 15 years.
re: hotoynoodle
The olfactory overload really detracts from the enjoyment of a sit down meal at Clio. There was always the nori and fish scents wafting up from Uni. Now that has been compounded by burning sugar and other odors from the expert mixology at the bar. It really can throw the palate off for the kind of refined food Clio serves. I love going to the bar at Clio, but you can keep the dining room and Uni.
While the bar can be very noisy. I have never found the dining room at Mistral to be too loud, and I am someone who has trouble holding onto conversations with a lot of background noise going on.
I second Sorellina and Mistral. The interior of Sorellina is definitely glamorous and sexy, and it draws a 30s "see and be seen crowd". Mistral has the same vibe, but I like the interior of Sorellina more. No dancing, though. Don't know of any "supper club" type places in Boston where you can dine, drink and dance.
re: Kat
Eat drink and dance at Beehive. Maybe Darryl's? I haven't been in this incarnation and don't know if there's a spot to dance. Anyway, they are "nice" but not glamorous.
It sounds like dinner at Rialto, drinks at Noir, and music at Regattabar might be the kind of evening the OP is interested in. It's not NYC-level glamour, and it's in a hotel, but the food is good, and the Regattabar gets some really good acts.
We have not been to the redecorated Clio, but before the makeover it was as close as you could find in Boston to the classic NYC/Parisian supper club. Perhaps someone who has been since can comment, as well. Also, it is small enough that, if you are not dressed nicely - if not glamorously - you tend to stick out, so you saw less shoddiness. A similar place is the dining room at Number Nine Park - small enough that most visitors take the time to put a bit of effort into their attire. No dancing either place, alas.
re: Gabatta
I agree. Best idea.
I wish I did know of someplace in Boston that was still "fred and ginger" but I don't. Weirdly retro in that it might remind you of that golden age, is Cafe Escadrille in Burlington which I think has music, a dance floor, and a "Gourmet Room" with quite a good wine list - can't speak to the food because I've only been once and I had the lobster. I will say the people there that night were dressed up.
Doesn't Upstairs on the Square have dancing sometimes? Not glamorous as a restaurant but it's very good and it certainly has its charms.
re: wandergirl
erbaluce (theatre district/bay village) is a very romantic place with great food. they would be within walking distance of many dance clubs and hotels - including aforementioned W.
a bigger question is - what kind of dancing? lots of landmines with that one. are they jazz people? swing people? top 40 people?
re: 5thAndNowhere
maybe krumpers?

Lags while transferring files between HDD's
Bought a new rigg recently and i noticed when im watching a movie or playing music using spotify and transferring files between my HDD's the movie starts to lag same with the music. Cannot figure out why ? Anyone got any ideas ?
|My System Specs

Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1
Hello Karlsson1991. Welcome to the Forum.
If what you are saying is that you are watching a movie at the same time that you are transferring files then that would indicate that you are exceeding the capability of your hard drive(s) and system bus transfer speed.
Video intensive activities like movies use huge amounts of data and system resources. The best way to think about system resources, particularly the "system bus" is as a highway or autobahn. Your big new system may handle 8 lanes of traffic with a 100MPH speed limit but if you throw enough traffic onto that road you will eventually get a traffic jam and everything will slow to a crawl.

Baseball partners falling $18 million short in stadium plan
City Manager Bev Cameron just told the City Council that the baseball partners are coming up $18 million short in their plans to buy the former U.S. National Slavery Museum land.
The partners seek to build a stadium to bring the Class A Hagerstown Suns to Fredericksburg and to serve as home for Diamond Nation, which operates tournaments and camps.
Councilman Matt Kelly is making a pitch to support them and develop a plan.
Councilman Brad Ellis noted that George Mason University economist Stephen Fuller has estimated the project will generate $2.6 million annually for the local economy.
A key issue in the cost is the topography of the museum site.
Councilman Billy Withers is asking why the partners don't consider buying a different site.
Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw said that's not a question council can answer at this point.
Councilwoman Kerry Devine said the museum site is an issue and has had limitations from the beginning.
"I do hope we can figure out a solution," Devine said.
Greenlaw said the council will hold a work session on Aug. 26 devoted to the project.
She noted that she respects the economist who created the economic impact study.
"Dr. Fuller is one of the most highly respected economists in the state, if not the East Coast," Greenlaw said.
Kelly said he wants to meet in public with representatives from the Suns and Diamond Nation next week to gather information ahead of the Aug. 26 work session.
Ellis suggested the council could contact Fuller to ask him any questions they have about his study.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Kyle Freeland got his fifth start of the season in Thursday night's game against the Idaho Falls Chukars, leading the Grand Junction Rockies to the 8-5 win.
Aside from a couple unearned runs given up by Idaho Falls, Grand Junction earned their way to a four-run start topped by Forrest Wall's first home run of the season.
Though they wouldn't score again until the sixth inning, Rockies pitching kept the Chukars in check.
Freeland had an impressive line, going through five innings while giving up three hits, no runs and striking out five. He dropped his ERA to 1.56 on the way to his first win of the season.
Right-handed pitcher James Lomangino came in on relief, keeping the pace of no runs allowed going. It wouldn't be until the seventh inning that the Chukars were finally able to get through.
But for every run they scored, the Rockies had a response. And in the end their five runs and 11 hits wouldn't be enough to take the win as Grand Junction tops Idaho Falls 8-5. They improve to 3-2, playing again Friday night at 6:30.

Using Arel without Rails
Arel is a Relational Algebra for Ruby – a handy way to create SQL queries programmatically without requiring a full ORM. I've been doing some work (generating reports) that requires complex queries but between which there's enough shared functionality to warrant some modularity in the query generation.
Cutting to the chase… Arel requires a database connection. It prefers ActiveRecord (which is probably overkill), but you do at least not have to create all the Model objects normally associated with Rails:
#!/usr/bin/ruby require 'thread' # RubyGems/ActiveRecord compatibility fix require 'rubygems' require 'active_record' require 'arel' @config = # Load some DB config # Connect to the database ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( :adapter => 'mysql', :host => @config[:host], :username => @config[:username], :password => @config[:password], :database => @config[:database] ) # Setup the engine for Arel Arel::Table.engine = Arel::Sql::Engine.new(ActiveRecord::Base) # Create an Arel table - should match a table in your database @users = Arel::Table.new(:users)
all of which is easy enough, completely undocumented, and only requires reading the code of most of the library.
Now, though, you can go ahead and write some fun queries:
@gadgets = Arel::Table.new(:gadgets) query = @users.project(@users[:id].count). join(@gadgets).on(@gadgets[:creator_id].eq(@users[:id])). project(@gadgets[:name]). group(@gadgets[:name]). order(@gadgets[:name].asc) puts query.to_sql
which outputs the very reassuring "SELECT COUNT(`users`.`id`), `gadgets`.`name` FROM `users` INNER JOIN `gadgets` ON `gadgets`.`creator_id` = `users`.`id` GROUP BY `gadgets`.`name` ORDER BY `gadgets`.`name` ASC". You can even execute it:
puts "Gadget\tUsers" ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(query.to_sql).each_hash do |row| puts [ row["name"], row["count"] ].join("\t") end
Simple as that. The library has some issues, and no documentation, but I've been playing with it on my fork over at Github and it seems pretty okay.

Drew Scott from the show "Property Brothers" speaks to the audience about finding their dream home at the She Expo on Sunday at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
At the age of 18, brothers Andrew and Jonathan Scott bought their first home with a down payment of $250 after graduating high school.
On Sunday, locals flocked to the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center to meet the twin brothers and learn from them. You'd probably have recognized them: one a bit unkempt and clad in flannel while the other, hair slicked back, dons a suit.
Andrew and Jonathan Scott are the "Property Brothers" from HGTV's hit show, and they were the headliners at last weekend's She: An Expo for Women produced by the Times Free Press.
"I'm one of their biggest fans," said Cindy Brotherton, who listened intently from the audience as the Scotts made suggestions. "My friends kid me about watching them 24 hours a day."
The brothers studied real estate while working odd jobs after school. That first house of theirs was worth $200,000 when they bought it. After they fixed it up, they sold it for a $50,000 profit.
"We didn't want to be a struggling artist," said Andrew Scott, known as Drew on "Property Brothers."
Instead of researching real estate as a hobby, the brothers saw it as a significant income source and a way to help other families get into their dream homes. Now, at age 36, Jonathan Scott is a licensed contractor and Drew Scott is a real estate agent.
On "Property Brothers" they give advice about home improvements, teaching people how to have "a Champagne dream home on a beer budget," they told She audience members.
After much cheering the brothers hit the stage at the two-day event, which also included "The Pioneer Woman" Ree Drummond and more than 150 vendor booths showcasing health screenings, beauty products, appliances and food. Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" played overhead as thousands of women walked to their seats. An announcer pumped the audience to cheer for "Team Drew" and then "Team Jonathan."
The brothers joked with their fans and Jonathan said he wants everyone to know he's four minutes older than Drew. Then they told the story of renovating and selling a home for a family with nine children so the family could find a larger home with more space.
The Scotts also host HGTV's "Buying and Selling" in which Jonathan renovates a home for a top-value sale and Drew helps the owners sell it. On "Brother vs. Brother" each brother mentors a team of home improvement experts, with the winning team winning a $50,000 prize.
A fourth show about renovations the brothers have made in their own homes is scheduled to start this year around Thanksgiving.

Ian Poulter talks Ryder Cup, Seve, clothes
October, 4, 2012
By Lynn Hoppes | ESPN.com
David Cannon/Getty ImagesIan Poulter, posing with Aimee-Leigh and Luke James, said the whole family is into fashion.This past weekend at the Ryder Cup, European golfer Ian Poulter invoked the memory of legend Seve Ballesteros on the golf course as he engineered Europe's 14.5-13.5 victory.
Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal insisted that Ballesteros, who died of brain cancer in 2011, be a prominent part of the team. So Ballesteros' silhouette was on the bags, and the team wore his favorite colors -- navy blue and white -- on the final day.
Olazabal even predicted Poulter could take his place as coach in 2014.
Poulter loves the comparison to Ballesteros on and off the golf course.
See, Ballesteros loved clothes as much as Poulter does.
"Back in the day, I couldn't afford to buy nice clothes, even though my mom managed a clothing store. I got into clothes when I started working at a pro shop," Poulter said. "When I transitioned into playing golf, I finally earned enough money to buy what I want and wear what I want."
In 2007, Poulter launched IJP clothing brand. There is a men's line, a junior's line and next year a women's line.
"Seve, Payne Stewart, Greg Norman and even John Daly: All those guys were their own guys with their recognizable look. That's what I wanted," Poulter said. "I want to look good even in a casual setting. I just enjoy nice clothes."
Poulter, who lives in Orlando with his wife and four children, admits that he is a little obsessed with fashion.
"I do have a little OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder]. Everything is lined up in the closets," Poulter said. "Thankfully, I have my dad's slim genes. So I can eat as much as I want and get away with it."
Now, Poulter's children are getting into on the act. All love looking good.
"My 3-year-old [Lilly-Mai] always wants new shoes and new dresses," Poulter said. "And my son, Luke, always asks me for a new pair of sneakers and a new belt. We all enjoy nice clothes!"

Jim RossJames William Ross
- Birthdate: 01/03/1952 (age 62)
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 250 Ib
Jim Ross is an American professional wrestling ...
On why he likes recruiting football players into pro wrestling: "The history of football players becoming successful pro wrestlers has long been established. Simply do the research. They are generally physically and mentally tough men, they come from a structured, team environment, understand the locker room mentality and obviously have above average athletic skills. Football is certainly not the only sport that should be scouted. Also, highly motivated, well trained independent wrestlers are also high on my personal list of people to scout. No matter one's background, athleticism and the 'it' factor are essential along with a passion for the genre."
On WWE's rumored cruiserweight show: "I read those rumors online but I have no direct knowledge. If they do, I'd be more than willing to volunteer to do the play by play for those bouts. Smaller, skilled talents need a showcase to display their abilities."
On what kind of match he expects out of Rock and Cena at WrestleMania 28: "Competitive, athletic and fundamental. Both are ground guys who can brawl and exchange holds. I think the crowd will be hugely pro-Rock which will likely highly motivate Cena. I'm not going to pick a winner but I am greatly anticipating a fitting close of the mega event. There is LOTS of pressure on both men to deliver in the position that they are placed."

The host of HBO Real Sports, Bryant Gumbel had some choice words for NBA commissioner David Stern. The comments, which can be found here not only offer scathing criticism, or well, let's be honest, accusation of racism and even slavery, but address an issue that hasn't been discussed much since the lockout began.
Said Gumbel:
"The NBA's infamously egocentric commissioner seems more hell bent lately on demeaning the players than on solving his game's labor issues."
and further:
"His efforts are typical of a commissioner who has always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern-day plantation overseer, treating NBA men as if they were his boys. ... His moves are intended to do little more than show how he's the one keeping the hired hands in their place."
This is the first acknowledgment I have seen of what we all see and know to be true: the NBA is made up primarily of African American players. According to the Institute of Ethics and Diversity in Sport, in the 2009-10 season, 77% of the NBA was made up of African American players. During the same year, whites made up 98% of majority ownership in the NBA.
Based on the numbers, and based on what we've heard from Stern and the players, does Gumbel have any leg to stand on with his assertion of "slaves and plantation owners?"
While Gumbel may have a point, once again we are left with a reality that he is ignoring: the millionaires and billionaires are fighting and we middle-classers are left paying the price. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't things work like this:
- Someone has to own NBA franchises
- A governing, rule making body must exist to deal with administrative issues, money, marketing, etc.
- Players need to play for NBA franchises so there are games to watch
- Without popularity, attendance, fandom, franchises don't make money
Gumbel and his assertions have some merit in my view. The numbers don't lie, a minority is partially controlling a majority-and the majority makes the sport a money maker. But would things be different if Stern was an Afro-American or Hispanic? What if white NBA players made up 77% of the population and ownership was 98% African American? I doubt anything would be different.
The simple fact being dealt with here is money, greenbacks, cash, bank, paper, currency. Everyone wants it, regardless of race.
What say you all? Do you agree with Gumbel's assertions?

Graduate Assistants on Project
Graduate Student Salary Levels
Tuition is required for graduate assistantships. Researchers should contact the graduate school for the current per credit rate. Out of state tuition is waived on graduate assistantships so these costs should not be included in the funding proposal. The budget justification should indicate the cost per credit and the estimated number of credits to be paid from the grant ( an average would be nine credits per semester and three in the summer session for a total of twenty one in a year). Reasonable tuition increases should be included for outlying years.
Rarely, a sponsor will specify in the program announcement that tuition costs are not allowed. On these occasions, these costs may be paid from another non-grant account or the dean of the graduate school may approve an assistantship without tuition.
See established minimum and maximum levels of salary for graduate assistants in the University's Administrative Manual.

Did You Know?Posted by on January 2, 2011 – 9:34 am
A few interesting notes to think about in advance of today's Vikings-Lions game…
– With Tuesday night's game at Philadelphia, the Vikings have played games on Monday night, Tuesday night, Thursday night and Sunday night this season.
– According to Elias Sports Bureau, Tuesday night's game at Philadelphia was the first since October 1, 1946, when the New York Giants beat the Boston Yanks 17-0 at Braves Field. The game was originally scheduled for September 30 but was postponed due to rain. While the last NFL game played on a Tuesday took place in 1946, there have now been 20 NFL games played on a Tuesday.
– The Vikings have played in 5 diff erent stadiums over the last 5 weeks (FedEx Field, Mall of America Field, Ford Field, TCF Bank Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field).
– QB Joe Webb became only the 2nd Vikings rookie QB to win his first career start. The other was Rob Vander Kelen (12/15/63). Both QBs gained their first win against Philadelphia.
– Vikings VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman worked as a college scout for the Lions from 1990-94 and as a pro scout from 1995-96. His brother, Chris, played LB for the Lions from 1988-95.
– Lions WR Nate Burleson was drafted by the Vikings in the 3rd round (71st overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft. Burleson played in Minnesota from 2003-2005.
– Lions QB Shaun Hill was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Vikings on 4/25/02.
– The Vikings 66 wins against Detroit are the team's most vs. any opponent in the NFL.

Vikings-Lions Broadcast InfoPosted by on January 2, 2011 – 8:32 am
Unable to score tickets to this Sunday's Vikings-Lions game in Detroit? No problem, because there are several other ways to take in the action.
– As usual, we'll have a live chat here on vikings.com during the game. We'll launch the chat just before kickoff, so be sure to join us.
– The game will be televised by FOX as Bryan Biederman will handle play-by-play duties and John Lynch will be the game analyst.
–I recommend tuning in to either KFAN-AM 1130 or KTLK 100.3 FM for the game to hear Paul Allen call the action and Pete Bercich handle the analysis. Greg Coleman is the sideline reporter. Also, Mike Mussman will anchor the pre-game show, which begins at 10:00 a.m. CT.

What 2 Watch 4Posted by on January 2, 2011 – 6:29 am
The Vikings and Detroit Lions will battle today at Ford Field beginning at 12:00 p.m. CT. While the game has no playoff implications, there are still plenty of interesting subplots to watch. Here are a few…
– With a rushing TD, RB Adrian Peterson can set a new Vikings team record for the most career rushing TDs. In just 4 years, Peterson has 52 rushing TDs and is now tied with Chuck Foreman and Bill Brown for the most as a Viking. Peterson can also continue to climb higher in the top 10 in NFL history for most rushing yards in the first 4 years. He currently has 5,751 rushing yards, which ranks 6th and trails Jamal Lewis' 5,763 for 5th.
– The Vikings can finish with a top 10 defense for the 3rd straight year for the first time since 1992-94, when the team finished 8th, 1st and 5th. The Vikings are currently 7th after ranking 6th in '08 and '09.
– A win would give the Vikings a 4-2 record under Interim Head Coach Leslie Frazier. The team finished 3-3 in the final 6 games of the 2009 season.
– With his sack at Philadelphia last Tuesday, DE Jared Allen reached double digit sacks for a fourth straight year (10.5 sacks currently).
– P Chris Kluwe can set the team record for the most games with a 50-yard punt. Kluwe has 68 career games with a 50-yarder, which is tied with Greg Coleman for the most in team history. Kluwe can also break his own record for most punts inside the 20 in a single season. Kluwe has 30 on the year, and his team record is 33.

They spent several weeks on the island travelling from the bustling commercial city of Havanna to the slave plantations of Matanzas province, before making their way up the Mississippi River by steamboat on the return home. Lowell's journal of the adventure that took her from the safe and comfortable environs of Beacon Hill is published here in its entirety. She describes in vivid detail each event and observation of a journey that crossed many boundaries: between abolitionist Boston and slave-owing Cuba, between the parlour and the sugar mill; between refined Boston and the hinterlands of the Caribbean and river towns of the Mississippi Valley. As befitting a woman of her privileged class, Lowell's diary includes chronicles of social calls, parties and invitations, as well as intimate descriptions of domestic and family life. She also comments extensively on the different social conventions for American and Spanish women, and provides astute accounts of the workings of the can sugar mills, the brutal living and working conditions of the slaves and the tensions involved in "managing" the slave population. Lowell is a colourful storyteller who writes with precision and a critical eye, salting the narrative with gossip and a good dose of humour about her experience throughout the trip. Her journals are filled with stories of arrogant Spanish men, shipwrecks, slave uprisings, business deals gone bad and scandalous marriages. The diary brings Mary Garnder Lowell and her times to life and offers illuminating insights into class, race and gender relations as well as the evolving relationship between the USA and Cuba in the antebellum period.

Bravotv.com: How excited were you to hear about the Willy Wonka challenge?
Gail Simmons: It was sort of extraordinary. Willy Wonka is a seminal childhood movie. I don't think there's anyone who can watch it and not get swept up in the beauty, the music, the story, the Oompa-Loompas, and those hilariously adorable kids! And don't forget the genius of Gene Wilder, and of course all that chocolate. It was this amazing world based on Roald Dahl's classic book, and it's one of the few examples when a movie really captures the spirit and the beauty of the story in the book. It was done so well all those years ago that it still holds up watching it again today. Having the chance to meet the original cast 40 years later was pretty amazing. Obviously the movie meant a lot to me growing up, but it meant it even more to our pastry chefs. For many of them it had a big impact on why they became pastry chefs in the first place.

Jaden Porte from the Yorkton Legion Track Club qualified and was picked to be on Team Saskatchewan for the 2014 Youth Track and Field Championships that were held in Langley BC this year.
Porte was asked what he thought of attending nationals this year:
"As expected this year's national event held in Langley, B.C. was nothing less than an honour to be a part of," said Porte.
The meet early on kicked off with a bang as around a thousand athletes registered from all around the country. The atmosphere was breath taking as endless rows of screaming fans echoed throughout the stadium.
Porte was one of just 25 athletes that Saskatchewan had taken to this meet.
According to Porte, this meet is one to inspire athletes as they not only get the greatest competition from all around the country, but get to meet people, see new faces, and compete to their fullest ability to represent not only your province but your local district and city as well.
Porte then went on to offer advice to any athlete wishing to compete at this event in the future, saying, "don't be blinded by the thought of not making team Saskatchewan if that may happen in anyway, send your application in anyway as you will still have a great chance to find yourself surrounded by the greatest competitors our country has to offer."
Porte was then asked what he thought about the stiff competition:
"The meet was, as expected, a privilege to be a part of. Hundreds of incredibly talented athletes along with an outstanding environment made this meet the best one I have attended so far.
"Unfortunately I was not very happy with my personal result as I had not run a personal best in either of my events, however I must put this behind me as I have had an incredible season and focus on the next one".
Porte's results at nationals are as follows: A tenth place finish in the 800m with a time of 1:55.96 against 25 other competitors and a 17th place finish in the 1500m with a time of 4:07.92 while running against 24 other competitors.
Porte will now be moving to Saskatoon to take his grade 12 there and will be training with the University of Saskatchewan Husky Track team.
Porte was asked what his next goals will be:
"I would like to break the Saskatchewan Indoor record for 800m and break my previous record in the 1,000m", says Porte.
Lofty goals for sure, especially breaking the Saskatchewan Indoor record for the 800m, however if anyone has a chance to do so it's the Yorkton athlete with his very impressive speed and stamina.
Porte will keep us in the loop as he moves up to the Junior level.
