Jobs, jobs, jobsThe drinks industry in Ireland accounts directly and indirectly for 62,000 jobs.
These jobs are spread across all sectors of the industry: manufacturing, supply, services and hospitality, as well as those who work directly for individual companies and businesses. These jobs are widely dispersed throughout Ireland.
This means that the drinks industry provides employment for a range of people from the barman and waitress to the production factory worker, the off-licence employee and the tourist centre guide.
At the same time, the drinks industry is undergoing a period of rapid change. The economic downturn and changes in lifestyle are impacting on our industry and these changes are accelerating.

City students file lawsuit
Allegations of bullying by Duggan teacher
WATERBURY — Attorneys representing three city students have filed a lawsuit claiming former Duggan Elementary School teacher Marylou Addona subjected the children "to a constant stream of bullying, abuse and harassment."
Addona was suspended for three days from her job teaching middle school students at Duggan in April, then transferred, after a student produced an audiotape of Addona apparently talking about the possibility of hitting one student, then belittling another.

Preparing for an appointment
If this is your first time visiting a physician at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, you will be asked to give us information about:
- your general health
- your previous diagnosis and treatments
- your health insurance card and/or information
We have prepared a general list of all of the things you should bring with you on your visit, to give your doctors the most complete picture of your current health. This saves valuable time for both you and your oncologist.
What to bring to your appoint: English/Spanish version of Patient History Form
Please bring with you:
- Your referral, if your insurance indicates you need one.
- Your health insurance identification card or other documentation of your health care insurance.
- Your medical chart from the doctor who referred you. That chart should include any tests you have had. Sometimes this information is forwarded from your doctor's office directly to the oncologist, but you may want to call a few days in advance of your appointment to make sure this is the case.
- Any X-rays or studies related to the condition for which you are being examined. These are critical for our doctors to decide on next steps in your treatment. These can be the actual films or the films on a CD, so that our doctors may look at real images, not just a report.
- Any medication you are taking. It is most helpful to our staff if you bring the actual bottles. However, you can make a list of all the medications you are taking. Make sure to include the name of the medication, including the generic substitution, the number of milligrams and how many times a day you are directed to take it. Also, include directions, such as "Take with food."
- A list of important contacts, including emergency names and phone numbers our staff members can call.
- A list of questions you may have about your medical care, including your diagnosis and treatment.
- A notebook and pen so you can write down important information. All our patients receive important health information during their visits, and you may want to keep everything in one place.
- Something to read and a filling snack, in case your appointment lasts longer than you expected.
We want to make sure all of your information is entered correctly into our files. If you have all the information listed above, it will help insure your appointment runs smoothly.

Guys I have been having shoulder pain for the past 4-6 weeks. The pain is mainly in my right shoulder. I have not worked my shoulder out in about 3 weeks to see if the pain went away, but it has not.
Mainly what it is, is that my shoulder aches real bad and is uncomfortable to lift up over my head. When I do lift it over my head it tends to pop. Also to elliviate some of the pain I flex (tense up) my arm as hard as I can and push my shoulder foward. This eases the pain for a minute, but makes it soarer afterwards. I find myself doing this throughout the day.... Possibly 50 times a day or more. About every third or fourth time I do it my shoulder pops very loud. I know by me tensing up real hard and doing this it is making it worse, but I cant help it...
Any suggestions as to what is causing it, or what would help it.

Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, has asked the international tribunal in The Hague to replace the judge in charge of the preparatory stage of his trial.
In a letter released by the The Hague tribunal on Tuesday, Karadzic said that Alphons Orie, the presiding judge, had a "personal interest" in convicting him.
Karadzic said the Dutch judge participated in previous trials against Bosnian Serbs and would want the rulings in those cases reinforced to justify "draconian" sentences against them.
'Biased' trial"There clearly cannot be any question of impartiality on his part,'' Karadzic said in a letter dated last Friday to Fausto Pocar, the president of the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal.Karadzic said Orie would be interested in having that sentence "upheld and somehow validated, which could be achieved through, inter alia, partial and biased conduct of the case against me".Karadzic also wants the other judges of Orie's chamber replaced.
Judge Orie presided over Karadzic's first appearance at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on 31 July - since his capture in Belgrade after 11 years in hiding.
Karadzic declined to enter a plea, but must do so when he appears in court again on August 29. If he declines again, a "not guilty" plea will be entered on his behalf.
Karadzic listed a number of cases involving Judge Orie, including the conviction of Momcilo Krajisnik, the former Bosnian Serb parliament speaker, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison.Judge Orie also was on the tribunal that convicted Milan Babic, a Croatian Serb leader, who committed suicide in the tribunal's detention unit in 2006. Oria is also currently among the judges trying Vojislav Seselj, a Serb nationalist leader.Karadzic is accused of allegedly organising the 1995 massacre of more than 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica and other atrocities in the Bosnian war, including genocide.
Judge Orie, a former criminal lawyer and justice of the Dutch supreme court, has been a judge at the UN tribunal since 2001.
Preliminary stages of tribunal cases are conducted by a single judge, but trials are heard by a panel of three. The tribunal has no juries.

A Counselor Runs Through It
In a previous article (Camp Business, October 2005) we talked about how to conduct a behavioral-based job interview. But where do you find your candidates to begin with?
Time for me to share some of my own personal dirty laundry… Each year when I was hiring summer staff, I'd dutifully send out re-application forms to the staff from last year I wanted to come back and asked them to re-apply around December.
Then in late January I hit the road going to camp fairs at major universities. I'd "interview" dozens and dozens of candidates, give them very long applications to fill out and three written reference forms to have returned, and then I'd go home and wait.
If I was lucky, some of the good candidates returned their applications. I'd lay them all out on a table from "best" to "worst" in my grading system, and finally send acceptance letters to the top candidates. When they didn't all reply, I'd call and find out they'd taken jobs weeks ago, often the day after the job fair.
So June first would come around and I'd always have two or three counselor jobs unfilled (always males). Have you been there? What do you do then?
First, you call all the staff that you have already hired and ask them, "Who do you know that might want to work at camp this summer?" In fact, you ask that question of everyone you know. And amazingly, the staffappear!
It turns out that the primary way we get new campers, word-of-mouth advertising, is also the best way to get good counselors. But I'd never really worked it until I'd exhausted all the paperwork I could shuffle.
Fortunately I figured out from the success of others, and my own mistakes, what I could do to turn the odds more in my favor. They'll work for you, too.
Casting Your Line
First, get use to asking, "Do you know a college student who would be a good camp counselor for us next summer?" Post it by every phone. Ask everyone who comes in the door and everyone who you talk to on the phone. Stand up in church and ask the congregation. And do it before February! When someone says yes, ask them for some background information. If they sound good, then have someone call them. Don't wait for them to apply; go after them.
Second, rank your fishing holes. If you already get a few good counselors from one college, then that's a good spot to fish. You know good candidates exist there, and can be attracted to your camp. The word of mouth of those past staff has been working its way through the campus over the year, and that's just like chumming for fish!
Add to it with your own ads in the student newspaper, announcing your arrival on campus. Have your staff alumni meet you and volunteer to help work your table. And when possible, stay away from the noise of other fishermen.
Arrange for a table in the student union on a separate day. Better yet, two consecutive days (as student class schedules tend to change on alternating days and you'll get a whole different school of fish). Just like with marketing for summer camp, you'll have more luck trying different lures on different days at a good fishing hole (your best neighborhoods or zip-codes) than you will moving constantly to unproven spots.
Remember how I waited too long to offer jobs, so the best had already been taken? Much of that was my lack of confidence in knowing a good counselor when I saw one, and worrying that the next one might be even better.
By using the performance-based interview techniques (as found in books like Hire with Your Head by Lou Adler), I was able to score a candidate and know that day if they could do the job. I could let them know that night, "I feel really good about you joining our team. I'd like to offer you this job, contingent on your completion of our HR department's application form, and the reference checks I'll do in the next week."
After sharing in their joy, I've got to follow through. They get an e-mail confirmation letter and forms right away, and I've got to do some digging.
References are of course critical in the hiring process, but don't kid yourself in thinking that the standard "three written references" will give you the most accurate information.
Most employers have policies forbidding the writing of references, so the ones your candidates find are usually not from their best work experience. Employers have found that phone references are more honest, accurate, and quicker.

Marriott International Introduces Fairfield Brand To Asia With Fairfield Bengaluru Rajajinager Opening
BENGALURU, India, Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) expands its brand offering today in Asia with the opening of its first Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Bengaluru, India. Known as an established leader in the moderate tier segment, the brand offers guests a productive stay with well-designed rooms and consistent and reliable service at an exceptional value.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131009/PH94669 )
Considered a growth engine for the company's expansion in Asia with 12 hotels signed in India and additional properties signed in Nepal and Indonesia, Fairfield represents an excellent opportunity for Marriott International to move into new locations and markets.
Marriott international offers nearly 20 brands globally with eight in Asia Pacific. The addition of the Fairfield brand to this area enhances the company's ability to meet the increasing demands for international moderate tier brands.Talking at the opening, Don Cleary, Marriott Internationals COO in Asia said: "The timing is right and the market is primed for a brand like Fairfield. The brand has a long history in service and offers innovative design at an affordable price, which combined gives us a huge strategic advantage in many markets across the region." "As we see millions more people entering the middle classes across India and Asia, the Fairfield product represents excellent value for transient travelers as the entry price point into the Marriott portfolio," Cleary continued. Introduced in 1987, Fairfield is Marriott's solution for affordability, quality and innovation in its segment. Marriott is committed to making the Fairfield brand the preferred lodging option for travelers in the moderate tier, as well as a strong development opportunity for owners and franchisees. With more than 715 properties throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and now India, Fairfield is designed to provide both business and leisure guests with just what they need so travel is uncomplicated and successful. "We couldn't be more excited to bring our unique Fairfield experience into Asia. Fairfield sets the standard of delivering a great hotel experience at an affordable price point. Contemporary design and quality service should not have to come with a heavy price tag," said Shruti Gandhi Buckley, Vice President Global Brand Management, for Fairfield Inn & Suites at Marriott International. "For over a year, we conducted research in India and Asia to better understand guests' preferences around the guest rooms, public spaces and food and beverage offerings. The Fairfield product in Asia is a direct result of the research, ensuring we deliver a product that is truly designed for the value-seeking Asian business traveler and is differentiated from the competition." "We believe that this is exactly the right product for India and the rest of Asia. Fairfield fills a much-needed gap in the moderate tier with its fresh, contemporary design, service excellence, and quality that comes from being a part of Marriott International," explained Don Cleary. The Fairfield Bengaluru Rajajinager in South India opened today offering 148-rooms and Kava,a three-meal-a-day restaurant which will serve authentic Indian cuisine along with Western menu options, featuring both buffet and a la carte options. In addition the hotel has a functional lobby with a bar lounge and 24/7 Market for drinks and snacks; ample banquet and meeting room space with modern technology, a well-equipped business centre as well as a fitness center and a rooftop pool.

From your closest relationships to your more distant connections, you are constantly affecting the people in your world. Your life footprint reflects the impact you have on the world. Although you may think of yourself as only a small player on the world stage, you may be surprised to learn that your impact can potentially spread to the farthest reaches of the planet.
Theories of development formerly contrasted nature vs. nurture, but researchers are showing, increasingly, the many combined effects of the two on how we grow and change through life. In addition, we now talk about the reciprocal influences that people have on their environments (Whitbourne & Whitbourne, 2014). In other words, the environment affects you, but you affect your environment. The life footprint reflects the part of the equation in which you affect your environment.
You've almost certainly heard of the notion of a carbon footprint, which is generally a negatively-framed phenomenon. When you use energy, no matter in what form, you're leaving behind a trace that contributes overall to global pollution. Some people's carbon footprints are heavier than others, particularly if they use large amounts of fossil fuel products.

Tom KarstIf a visitor from outer space came to earth and examined the tax documents of the United Fresh Produce Association and the Produce Marketing Association, what conclusions would that alien draw? Could a visitor from beyond our world - let's call him Marty the Martian - possibly assist in helping to see the synergies of the two trade associations and facilitate a merger?
By the way, check out the Fresh Produce Industry Discussion Group poll on the potential United-PMA merger here. The question is, "If PMA and United Fresh don't end up merging, it will be because ..."
Back to Marty. Our scenario assumes the visitor would know how to decipher tax forms. Granted, that's a big "if." Most earthlings are clueless about their tax code.
One of the first things "Marty" might do is try to find out what the organizations are all about. As he looks at the tax forms for both associations for the year 2009, his eyes are are drawn to Part I, question one: Summary: Briefly describe the organization's mission or most significant activities:
PMA answered the question like this: "To connect, to inform, to deliver business solutions that enhance members' prosperity." We do this through three vehicles - products, events and services. We offer a small product line that includes training modules for employees to guides that help our member(s) do their day to day jobs. Our events offer educational offerings that include the entire supply chain which includes an exposition component so that our members can showcase their products and services while making new contracts in the industry. We offer services such as our information resources center that allows our members to contact us and get answers to various questions.
In Part I, question one: United Fresh simply said: "Trade association for the fresh fruit and vegetable industry."
But wait, our extraterrestrial pal has more to go on than that. The government wasn't done asking about the mission of the associations and the associations are far from done in reciting their accomplishments.
Part III of form 990 is called a "Statement of Program Service Accomplishments: Question one asks the organization to briefly describe the organization's mission:

I eat around 5-7 meals per day and I am bulking. I'm 5'6 140lbs
Most of my body fat is carried on my stomach (I think) and I'm not really sure on my accurate BF %, the electronic disk-like thing you hold at my gym said 8.3% though, and that was 3 weeks ago. I've gained 6lbs since.
I'm eating around 2500-3000 calories a day, and almost always feel like I'm hungry now that I eat small meals, but I don't always feel like eating because I'm so bloated and my stomach is so puffed out.
What causes this? Is it just water weight or what?
Also throw out an estimated BF % please

19010, Fisher Avenue (MD 107), Poolesville, Montgomery County
Valhalla is a two-story house of ashlar construction to which are attached a c. 1835 1 1/2-story log structure and two small 20th century one-story frame wings. Facing north, the eastern three bays of the main block, constructed of local Seneca sandstone, date to c. 1835. Of the same period is a log outbuilding, set back from the main house, and probably originally used as a kitchen. In 1855-65, the main block was enlarged by three bays to the west, in the same sandstone. This portion of the building has a hall and parlor interior arrangement. A 1938 frame addition connects the rear of the main block to the log section, and a 1954 rear wing extends south from the western part of the main block. Flush chimneys rise from either end of the main block, and an interior chimney stands near the center of the building, indicating where the original exterior west wall of the house was located. The north facade of the main block is six bays wide, with entrances in the second and fourth bays from the left. Windows are 6/6 sash with louvered shutters. Door and window openings have heavy dressed stone lintels and stone sills. Each doorway has a four-light transom. The east and west facades of the main block are pierced only by two four-light attic windows, flanking the chimney. The two bays of the south facade not covered by additions on the first floor contain 6/6 sash windows, and there are three 6/6 windows and one small six-light window on the second floor. The interior of the house has simple classically influenced woodwork dating primarily from the 1855 to 1865 period when the western section was added and the interior of the eastern section was damaged by fire. The interior of the log section has the logs exposed and contains a large stone fireplace. The property is further enhanced by a c. 1830 stone dairy building and a frame 19th century barn.
The significance of Valhalla lies in its architecture as an example of a type of construction which was common in the mid 19th century in northwestern Montgomery County but of which only two or three examples exist today. Valhalla, built in 1835 and enlarged in 1855-1865, was one of the first large buildings erected in this section of the county to use the local red brown stone which heretofore had been used almost exclusively in small cottages, slave quarters, barns, and foundations of frame and log houses. Valhalla also has the heavy four-square proportions and lack of decorative detailing on the exterior which are common to Montgomery County's rural architecture of the mid 19th century.

Los Angeles, California. January 17, 2012-New Year's Resolution for 2012: Eat Healthier. We know what we are supposed to eat (lean meats, whole grains, dark fruits and vegetables) but it's implementing these foods and ideas into our daily routine that becomes the challenge.
A great way to kick start your resolution of changing your whole diet is to pick one healthy food and add it to your diet daily. The calendar method can be helpful to track your plan. Write down what your end goal is and the date you want to accomplish it by. Then, every week write down what you need to do (add/subtract) to your diet to help you move toward your end goal. If you try and change everything at once, you're setting yourself up for failure. Most of us know what we want but it's the process of getting to that end result that leaves us confused.
To help you move toward your goal, try these delicious and fun recipes:
Egg and Asparagus on Toast
8 slices of whole grain bread, 1 inch thick
8 eggs
12 asparagus
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup micro greens for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Cut each asparagus lengthwise and blanch in salted water. Cook for 1-2 minutes and set aside for later use.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Cut whole grain bread into 1 inch thick slices and lightly spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Toast the bread in the oven for 3-6 minutes to a light golden brown or crisp, but not burned.
Fry eggs in a large nonstick sauté pan (cook 4 at a time max) and place a lid over the top to cook the eggs to over easy. Salt and pepper the eggs before placing on the lid.
Repeat step 5 for the remainder of the eggs.
Slide the eggs onto a cutting board and cut them to separate them.
Place three blanched asparagus on each piece of toast then slide an egg on top; add Parmesan and garnish with micro greens.
Tofu with Artichoke Hearts and Red Bell Pepper
1 ½ pkg. firm tofu cut into cubes
½ cup? yellow onion, diced
2 Tbsp good olive oil
1 can of artichoke hearts
1 red bell pepperhalf of a lemon,juiced
½ cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup of chopped parsley
Sauté the yellow onions until they are aromatic and glossy in 1 tbsp olive oil. Then add the red bell pepper and tofu. Next, sauté the artichokes, lemon juice, parsley and Parmesan with the tofu. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa
Tilapia ingredients
4 pieces of tilapia
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Pineapple Salsa Ingredients
1 very sweet and delicious pineapple, (it should smell like a pineapple) small,diced
3 green onions
¼ cup diced red bell pepper)
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
2 garlic cloves
2 limes,juiced
1 jalapeno,deseeded and diced
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl add the pineapple, jalapeno, green onion, garlic, red bell pepper, limejuice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Set aside and let it marinate for half an hour.
Tilapia is a really beautiful fish, but I have found that you really need to cook it well. It is not one of those fish that is better a little undercooked. In a nonstick sauté pan, add the oil to the pan. Salt and pepper the tilapia. Place the tilapia presentation side down. Cook for 6 minutes on medium and then flip and cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Top the tilapia with pineapple salsa.
Baked Halibut with a Caper Tomato Sauce
4 pieces of white fish (Mahi-Mahi, Tilapia, Halibut (the cooking time will vary based on the type of fish))
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 yellow onion diced
1 can diced tomatoes
2 whole tomatoes
1 tablespoon of capers
5 basil leaves chiffonade
Salt and pepper
In a medium saucepot add 1-tablespoon olive oil.
Sauté the onions until they are golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and cook until it's aromatic and glossy.
Add both canned and fresh tomatoes and cook for a few minutes gently stirring.
Add capers, lemon juice and basil.
Season with salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Rinse the fish well and pat dry.
Lightly season with salt and pepper and use a teaspoon of the oil to rub in the salt and pepper.
In a baking dish lined with parchment paper or olive oil, place the fish inside and bake for 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven once you see the fat rising to the surface and plate with the Tomato sauce.
Chicken Pesto Rice Bowl
3 chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 ½ cup of broccoli florets
2 Roma tomatoes rough chopped
½ cup parmesan
2 lemons juiced
½ cup basil pesto*
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup brown riceView Entire Story

Ronald McDonald House Charities® New York Tri-State Area awards college scholarships to five exceptional area high school graduates as part of its General Scholars scholarship program to provide college tuition assistance to promising students.
Ronald McDonald House Charities® New York Tri-State Area will award college scholarships to five exceptional high school graduates as part of its General Scholars scholarship program to provide college tuition assistance to promising students. Winners will receive a total of $16,000 ($4,000 per year) over the course of their four-year college career. In total, RMHC-NYTSA will award $700,000 in new, four-year scholarships to 43 area students across all four of its scholarship programs in 2014, reinforcing RMHC's commitment to advancing education and supporting young people in our communities.
General Scholars program recipients were selected based on demonstrated academic achievement, financial need, and community involvement. The 2014 General Scholars award winners are exemplary students and citizens from throughout the New York Tri-State area:
"The hard work, dedication, and commitment to education and community service exemplified by these remarkable students is exactly what the Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholars program stands for," said Christopher Perry, executive director of Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Tri-State Area. "I am extremely proud of what these students have accomplished, and we know they will continue to achieve great things in the future."
The five recipients will be recognized for their achievements at an upcoming Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholars luncheon taking place Wednesday, July 30 at the Ronald McDonald House of New York. The students and their families will be joined by RMHC-NYTSA Scholars selection committee members, local public officials, and Ronald McDonald to celebrate their achievements.
RMHC-NYTSA offers graduating high school seniors from local communities the chance to apply for college tuition assistance through its four scholarship programs: the RMHC/Asian-Pacific Students Increasing Achievement Scholarship, the RMHC/African American Future Achievers Scholarship, the RMHC/Hispanic American Commitment to Educational Resources Scholarship, and the RMHC General Scholars Scholarship (to which students of all ethnicities are eligible to apply). To be eligible for the scholarship awards, applicants had to be graduating high school seniors planning to attend a two- or four-year college or university with a complete course of study. Applicants must be legal U.S. residents, younger than 21-years-old, and must reside within the geographical boundaries of the participating RMHC New York Tri-State Area.
RMHC began its support of scholarship programs in 1985 by committing $50,000 toward its first scholarships, which were awarded through the Hispanic American Commitment to Educational Resources program. In 2001, the RMHC/ASIA and RMHC African American Future Achievers Scholarships began. Since 1985, more than $44 million in scholarships have been awarded by U.S. Chapters and RMHC Global.
About Ronald McDonald House Charities of the New York Tri-State Area:
For over 20 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Tri-State Area has been creating, finding, and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. Their signature programs include scholarships to help provide access to a college education for students who need and earn it, and community grants to support a variety of local children's charities in the areas of medicine, crisis intervention, social and civic services, education, and the arts.

On Thursday, Microsoft officially unveiled its latest operating system, Windows 8, and as NY1's Adam Balkin explains, it is a bold, risky redesign for the tech giant.
It appears as if PCs as you know them are about to forever change, thanks to the launch of Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system.
Gone will be the start menu. Gone will be double-clicking applications to open them. Gone will be just about everything you've grown used to on a Windows PC. Replacing it? Just about everything you've grown used to when operating your smartphone or tablet.
To help make this all happen, dozens of devices with touch screens from just about every big-time manufacturer are launching alongside Windows 8, from desktop PCs to laptops to tablets to the largest new category, called "convertibles."
"Are these new designs PCs? Yes. Are these new designs tablets also? Yes," said Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft. "Some of them flip. Some of them dock. Some of them convert. Some of them attach."
Though it's designed to be swiped and poked, the new operating system will work on current non-touch-screen PCs via your mouse. There is also a pre-loaded app that returns you to the old school way of doing things, if that's what you prefer.
Microsoft has said for years that it wanted to make computers easier to use and many would probably agree that allowing users to just touch what they want to do accomplishes that. However, at this stage, with so many people used to the old way, is making things easier actually making things harder?
"Easier is in the eye of the beholder or user. In some ways, it's easy and intuitive. In other ways it's like, 'wait a minute, that's kinda not the way I'm used to doing it,'" said Ed Baid of USA Today. "There is a learning curve. I've played some with Windows 8. I happen to like it. But there definitely is a learning curve."
Windows 8 is available now as a download via microsoft.com for $40. As for the new, touch-screen devices, Microsoft said pricing on some of those will start at less than $300.

Python Dictionaries In Django TemplatesPosted: October 5, 2013 Filed under: Programming, Python Leave a comment »
Selecting a value using a variable key in Django is not straightforward.
For instance, today I was counting active contacts on a User model, which are referenced by a foreign key. So I've got
{% User.contact_set.count %}
But I realized I was counting all contacts, when I really want to do
Since you can't (and really don't want to) run a filter in the template, you have two options:
1) Prepare the counts in the view, or
2) Write a method in your model to count for you
Method One
I chose solution one, and used a dictionary comprehension:
users = User.objects.all()
active_contacts = {user:Contact.objects.filter(owner=user, active=True).count() for user in users}
But in the template, now we've got a variable key. You can't use a variable key in dot notation in the template. This won't work:
{% for user in users %}
{{ active_contacts.user }}
{% endfor %}
That tries to do
active_contacts["user"] instead of
active_contacts[user], and so you get no value returned.
Instead, I had to do:
{% for user in users %}
{% for key, value in active_contacts.items %}
{% if key == user %}
{{ value}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Method Two
The alternative, as it turns out, is probably nicer. I don't like polluting my models with methods that are very specific to one place, but it would make my template code a lot cleaner. It would be something like this:
class User(models.Model):
def active_contacts(self):
return Contact.objects.filter(owner=self, active=True).count()
And then, in the template, we could simply do
{{ user.active_contacts }}
Note, this code is untested.
So, dictionaries with dynamic keys aren't awesome in Django, but they're definitely workable.
General Westerly DirectionPosted: January 31, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
I think the way to use these big ideas is not to try to identify a precise point in the future and then ask yourself how to get from here to there, like the popular image of a visionary. You'll be better off if you operate like Columbus and just head in a general westerly direction.
2013 ResolutionsPosted: December 29, 2012 Filed under: Motivation, Programming Leave a comment »
I'm not big on resolutions.
That is to say–I make tons of resolutions, and I accomplish most of them. It's just that I don't need the motivation of a fresh year to set a goal–I set them as soon as one comes to my brain that I decide to accomplish.
But it's a convenient time, and all the cool kids are doing it, right?
In 2012 I had a pretty short list. I'm not sure what all was on it, however I do remember what I considered the most important: "Say No." I did pretty well at saying no–mostly in the form of turning down request that I did not want to fulfill ("favors"), or letting people or my conscience manipulate me into doing things I did not want to do. I quit working at my own bar because it was the best thing for me. I broke an agreement I had made several years prior, that had turned into the most restrictive thing in my life. I moved back to Florida from Arkansas–intending for it to be a stop–and landed in a phenomenal job.
I also failed on some counts–middle-of-the-night rides for friends, moving furniture in my truck, and loaning money to people who haven't paid up but have plenty to spend on themselves.
Anyhow, on with it:
2013 resolutions
- Build lots of small things I love
- Build something that generates moderate income
- Try to build both in one
I'm a programmer, so building things isn't always difficult. Last year I built a script to watch the craigslist free section for new items, a daily inspirational quote site, messed around a lot with screen scraping, and started a whole slew of unfinished Django projects. I've spent probably the most time thinking about, researching, and coding a rough version of a video training site–like CardRunners.com, but I plan to target video games.
As usual, though, my steam has run out for most of those. I don't craigslist much anymore, I frequently quit updating the quote site, and I still haven't shipped a MVP for the video training site–probably because I don't want to "run the business" for it.
I'm quite ready to build some kind of app or SaaS product that is fun, has a lot of areas to explore programatically, and is built on a profit model. I just haven't figured out what it is yet!
For good measure, I'll add a few more:
- Turn off distractions
- Buy new jeans
- Write 500 words per day
- Polish
- Meet people
- Compliment people who deserve it, strangers or otherwise
"Polish" probably could use some explaining. I want to "polish" my little projects. Instead of a craigslist script, I should have a little craigslist program with a GUI and some options, and I want my web-apps to look nice–even if that means hiring a designer.
And as for "meet people," it goes without saying that I will meet some people, however I'd like to make a conscious, concerted effort to expand my "people" list a little.
Prediction: 2013 is going to be a year I look back on with pride. No unfathomable mistakes, less slacking, more enjoying, better people.
Pointing Dreamhost DNS to HerokuPosted: October 27, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: dreamhost heroku dns custom-domain Leave a comment »
I had a domain ( WitDaily.com ) hosted at Dreamhost that I decided to move to Heroku. (I still think Dreamhost is great, though!)
It took me a while to figure out what to do with my DNS records. Heroku has a walkthrough for Custom Domains on their service. It's pretty straightforward, but I ran into a small hang-up trying to set my DNS over at Dreamhost: they had "non-editable" records for a ton of stuff–a bunch of subdomains, plus an A-record.
The fix? Go to "Edit" in the domain management / hosting area, and go from something like "fully hosted" to "DNS only." At that point, all the records are editable.

Rain Is Just an ExcusePosted: June 2, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Out for a run today, I could tell it was going to rain as I finished the 1.2 mile loop. My goal is to run a little farther each run than I did the run before it. On my last run I had gone about 1.6 miles.
But the rain…
And then I realized the rain was just an excuse.
And ran 2.4 miles instead. And then biked 2.4 miles. All in the rain.
There's an excuse to quit or not do basically everything you'll ever have an opportunity at. Just do it.
GraduationPosted: May 20, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
I went to a high-school graduation today. I've been to several, and they all seem the same. (Bad) Attempts at inspirational speeches, self-deprecating humor about kindergarten-til-now experiences, self-back-patting.
Tonight I heard "amazing accomplishment" and "incredibly proud" so many times I want to vomit. Why are we teaching our young people that graduating high-school is something to be proud of? It's the de-facto. It's not even mediocre–even sub-mediocre students mostly graduate. If we expect everyone to graduate, what is there to be proud of?
They also talked a lot about the end of one "life" or phase, and the beginning of "the rest of their lives." Mostly that will probably entail an entry into the workforce, and feeble attempts at the more widespread version of the American dream–college, a house, and a new car. Gross.
One speech stood out tonight. A bright young lady gave a nice performance, and talked about how everyone is authoring their own story–each story unique, with its own heroes and villains. I like the idea of that. I think the goal is to make your story one worth reading. Exciting, full of twists, heroes pursuing dreams and vanquishing villains.
If that's not the plan, what is?
Accept.Posted: March 10, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
I keep looking for meaning, but all I've found so far is that in order to be at peace with the present, we must be at peace with the past, because the present is a product of the past. Accept. Accept. Accept. Learn to love the present moment. What happened, happened. It's difficult to understand the big picture when our lives are mere brush strokes on the canvas of reality. Trusting that it all fits together to form something beautiful is the purest form of faith. Anything else is a dangerous distraction. No contracts with God, no expectations of reward, just trust.
And that's where I am. I have my hopes set high, and I'm not prepared for failure. But here, now, in this moment, I have to accept the path that led me here. I'm undeniably here. I want to rise like a phoenix from these ashes, carrying my prize with me. Able to because of my new-found strength. But I'm just choking on the ashes, floundering.
But I think that the ashes in the air will subside. Things will be beautiful, because we went down this path for a reason. Unbeknownst to us, something beautiful is being painted. I can't wait to see it, quite literally–my innards twist in ways I've never known, in anticipation and at the memory of their own shortcomings. But my new-found strength comes from them–my heart works in ways it never worked before. And in that terrible pain it can now feel comes its salvation–it has become what was needed all along.
I pray the ashes will subside. I want to push into the sunlight.
Project Euler – Problem 13 in PythonPosted: March 4, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Problem 13 requests:
Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers.
Some euler problems almost look like programming exercises. There's nothing special about this problem whatsoever, it feels like a basic file-reading exercise.
So, I stored the numbers in a file.
Opening files in python is pretty simple:
f = open('13-numbers.txt', 'r')
The 'r' just means "open for reading."
Then you can loop over the lines like this:
for line in f: num = int(line)
In this case, the line is a 50-digit number (that python still things is a string, so we convert with int() ).
Sum up all the numbers, and then to find the first ten digits you convert back to string and use a splice:
Project Euler – Problem 12 in PythonPosted: March 4, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Project Euler Problem 12 deals with factorization, so it's important to get a pretty efficient function to do that. The problem reads:
The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first ten terms would be:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, …
Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
1: 1
3: 1,3
6: 1,2,3,6
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
21: 1,3,7,21
28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.
What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
So, I created a "factor" function that returns all the factors of a given number. I'll save you the trouble of finding it later, and let you know that this is a useful function (for Euler) that should be put in your re-usable toolbelt–in my case, euler.py.
Here's my most efficient example:
def factorize(num): factors = [1, num] for i in range(2, int(math.sqrt(num))+ 1): if not num % i: factors.append(i) factors.append(num / i) return list(set(factors))
So we fill the list with 1 and the number, and then check remainders with modulus (%) for all the other numbers up to the square root. That's as far as we have to go, and we'll use 36 as an example to see why:
start with [1, 36]
check 2, find [2, 18]
check 3, find [3, 12]
check 4, find [4, 9]
check 5, fail
check 6, find [6]
So even though we only went to six, we were able to get 9, 12, and 18–numbers greater than six. Any number greater than six will have a corresponding factor lower than six, so for max efficiency we don't go any higher.
Moving on, it's now a fairly simple matter to check each triangle number for X number of factors, in this case 500.
First, I imported my factorization function:
from euler import factors
Then I made a function to find the first (triangle) number with X number of factors:
def first_triangle_with_divisors(num): ''' Find the first triangle number with at least num number of divisors ''' count = 1 triangle = 1 factor_count = 0 while factor_count < num: count += 1 triangle += count factor_count = len(factors(triangle)) return (triangle, factor_count)
Walking through it, we start with
count = 1
so we can determine the next number that has to be added–it allows us to make the triangle number sequence. We set
triangle = 1
…our first triangle number. And then we set up a spot for the factor_count, so that we can set up a while loop with it.
The loop will iterate until
factor_count > num
…with num being an argument the function accepts. We could hard-code this to 500, but I set it as a variable so that I can run the known case (28 is the first number with > 5 factors) to verify working code.
This code fails in one case, if you input 1 for num. It's trivial to fix, but doesn't matter for our application. To fix it you would just insert, at the beginning of the function:
if num == 1: return (1, 1)
During each loop, we increase our count, and then add it to the previous triangle number to get the new one. Then we call our factors() function on the new number, which returns a list of factors. We count them with len() and only finish if they're over our target.
The end of my file just has a couple of cases:
print first_triangle_with_divisors(1) print first_triangle_with_divisors(6) print first_triangle_with_divisors(500)
And returns the correct answer.
We can speed the function for large numbers. It's hard to be perfect, and probably harder to prove mathematically, but it makes a lot of sense that the first number with 500 divisors is probably divisible by both 2 and 3, and possibly 5 which will give it a lot of "extra" divisors.
On my machine this runs in about 10 seconds, and it's cut fairly drastically by including an extra line:
while factor_count < num: count += 1 triangle += count if num < 100 or num > 100 and not triangle % 2 and not triangle % 3: factor_count = len(factors(triangle)) return (triangle, factor_count)
This simply means we'll skip our most time-sinking function, factors(), if we need a high number of factors and the triangle is not evenly divisible by 2 and 3. This ONLY works if you need the FIRST number that qualifies, because you will eventually run into a number, I think, with 500+ divisors that is not evenly divisible by 2 or 3.
Of note:
Do some research on whitespace. I had an invisible error, to the naked eye, that cost me an hour of frustrating debugging–my factor function was exiting early and I couldn't figure out why. Some weird whitespace accident with Vim, my editor of choice.

McDonald's Thrives as Consumers Get Cheap
When the going gets tough, people get cheap. McDonald's (MCD), home of the dollar menu, has benefited more than any other fast-food restaurant from the faltering economy.
The company reported impressive October results, overcoming concern that a stronger dollar would hurt international business. Global same-store sales rose 5.5%, and U.S. and Europe sales increased 5.3% and 9.8%, respectively. A revamped menu and attractive prices outweighed health concerns as consumers had less money in their pockets.
Since the health-food craze began in the 1990s, McDonald's has faced criticism for its unhealthy menu, culminating in the documentary movie "Super Size Me" in 2004. However, the restaurant remains a safe haven during turbulent times because of its convenience and affordability. The stock may extend its five-year advance if the economy continues to recede.

I'd say the second one but I didn't like the lighting very much. I think thats just my personal preference though. I liked the first one but there wasn't the effect of the light so no. I didn't like the 3rd one because the blue overcast shadow thing; what you wanna call it, make the light effect look terrible. And I just didn't like the last one.
So i chose the second one. :/

Number four is a version that fits with the style the painting is in. I like it better than some of the softer versions because she does look deadly there. I don't like the third version because she looks too... well, it's version two with a purpley-grey filter. I don't know, to me it just drains away her beauty.
I like number four but for an artistic piece about beauty probably not. It looks like a detailed panel in a comic book. (Which isn't bad, but not for a stand-alone, I guess...)
Number two had my first reaction be: what is she made of, wax? Because it looks so. So glossy. Her eyes are straddling the fine line of being brought out more and looking exactly like the background. Which makes me look at them more. And then the background... Her hair looks shiny. It feels like she is about to walk into fire and is giving you a backwards glance. After I stare at it for ten seconds I'm liking it more and more.
When I first compared all three I immediately like number one best. I see all the detail, it's not too bright or dark, or contrasty and she is beautiful. After staring ten seconds at number two they become a very close call and I can't decide which one to pick. If I were posting I'd pick number one only because I stick very close to the rule-book and dramatic lighting scares me.

These meringue mountains displayed in shop windows always look like glamorous clouds and I can stand quite happily for ages looking longingly at them.
I have tried to recreate these at home, I made chocolate swirl/marbled meringues, some I topped with toasted hazelnuts and meringues drizzled with melted chocolate.
Hotel Chocolat kindly sent me a bag of easy melt 70% Dark Chocolate Drops and because I had a yearning to make meringues, I couldn't think of a better way to use them. The chocolate melted easily, quickly and was extremely glossy. The baby buttons can be eaten just as they are or used for cooking, just as I did, but I have to admit I did eat more than a few whilst I was meringue making, just to pass the time away!
The meringues keep well in an airtight tin or box and as soon as you remove the lid the chocolate smells divine, so much so, I kept on taking the lid off just to smell the chocolate!
I made a Swiss meringue mixture in my food mixer, because this chocolate deserved only the best, but these meringues can easily and successfully be made by making an Italian meringue using the following recipe.
