Hello! I am a new homeowner in Mobile County, Alabama, who is enjoying having a yard to fill with beautiful and use things. Yesterday I bought a Fuyu persimmon, and I am trying to decide where to place it. I have two possible spots on the south side of my house. The main difference is that one spot (Option 1 in the picture) is closer to the house and enclosed by the fence. Option 2 is in my front yard. Option 2 was my first idea, and it is still my preference. However, a friend suggested I might want the tree inside the fence to discourage people from stealing the fruit. My question here, then, is this: are there any advantages *other* that deterring theft to keeping the tree nearer the house and inside the fence? If not, I'll probably go with Option 2. However, since I am new to having yards and planting trees, I thought I would ask some more experienced gardeners. Many thanks! Bethany |
Follow-Up Postings:
Having it behind a fence might be a good idea. Good luck with it. |
Behind the fence! I live in midtown. Both my neighbor and I have Satsumas in our front yard. This was the first year that mine were bearing a good crop. Three weeks befor the fruit was ripe someone stripped every single green satsuma off both trees. |

Squirrels love them so be sure you provide plenty of water as they go for the moisture and thereby destroy a lot of fruit just for the added moisture. |

Main conclusions
Reichstein et al. 2013. Climante Extremes and the C Cycle. Nature
The terrestrial biosphere is a key component of the global carbon cycle and its carbon balance is strongly influenced by climate. Continuing environmental changes are thought to increase global terrestrial carbon uptake. But evidence is mounting that climate extremes such as droughts or storms can lead to a decrease in regional ecosystem carbon stocks and therefore have the potential to negate an expected increase in terrestrial carbon uptake.

WASHINGTON, October 11, 2103 – If it's 2103 it must be Verdi or Wagner. The Washington National Opera launched its season last month with Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde," and they're following it this weekend with their first-ever performances of Verdi's "Force of Destiny."
Meanwhile, over at George Mason University's Center for the Arts, the Virginia Opera is in town this evening for two performances of Verdi's comic masterpiece "Falstaff," an appearance foreshadowed by Wolf Trap Opera's chamber version of the same back in August at The Barns at Wolf Trap.
Not to be outdone, the National Symphony Orchestra is getting on the Wagner bandwagon this weekend at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, dedicating its second regular season concert to a concert performance of the third act of the composer's valedictory opera, "Parsifal." Thursday evening's impressive initial performance of this moving finale was a genuine revelation to the disappointingly sparse audience that came to hear it.
"Parsifal" is an esoteric opera, even for Wagner, focused as it is on the redemptive miracle of the Holy Grail and the need for a naïve but brave and persistent hero to unlock its holy powers. In the opera, country bumpkin Parsifal turns out to be just the guy to do it. After making a fool of himself in the early going, he embarks on an uncertain quest, returning in the finale a battered, wiser, nobler, and more humble knight who's no longer errant.
Duly vetted by the hermit Gurnemanz, who stands watch for the Grail's repository and for the holy knights who guard it, Parsifal is able to cure the incurable wound of Amfortas, restoring, to all who serve, sublime peace, harmony, and spiritual union with the divine, as all join once more in sharing the Beatific Vision.
This is deeply religious and philosophical territory for grand opera, as it focuses on the almost Zen-like inner spirit of ancient Christianity. But it's also Wagner at his most intellectually and musically thoughtful. The music here focuses more on the uplifting sensuousness and inner sense of human longing rather than the pageantry of it all—which in a staged performance can indeed be most impressive.
Taking this approach, the composer succeeded in carrying his rather abstract finale into the realm of the sublime—precisely what the NSO, soloists, and chorus were also able to accomplish—magnificently, we might add—under the baton of music director Christoph Eschenbach, who knew exactly where to take the proceedings, serving almost in the manner of a high priest or bishop presiding over a sacred ritual.
The NSO played nearly flawlessly throughout the entirety of this roughly 80-minute act. Played without pause, it was the only item on the program—an excellent choice as any added musical tidbit surely would have broken the mood. At times, the orchestra's performance reminded us of the Cleveland Orchestra under the baton of George Szell in a past age, sounding as if it were a single, unified instrument rather than an ensemble of individual musicians.
The strings were notable for their deep, woody richness of tone. The brass sections, largely but not entirely subdued in this act, accentuated the moments of high drama brilliantly. And, at key moments, haunting addition of the rarely heard, gong-like bass chimes added an almost spooky, incense-filled, medieval aura of the afterlife to the processionals.
Although Wagner's chorus does not take part in this act until its final moments, the fine work of the Washington Chorus added a welcome power and richness to the conclusion. Entries were excellent as was this ensemble's diction, something that choral groups occasionally neglect.
The NSO's choice of singers was also most fortunate. The lion's share of the evening's work went to Russian bass Yuri Vorobiev, who sang the lengthy role of Gurnemanz, whose job it is in the finale to set the scene, to serve as the astonished greeter of an unexpected hero, and then to prepare that hero, Parsifal, for his redemptive mission to the Grail Community. Mr. Vorobiev's deep, authoritative voice, calling up near visual images of the sights and sounds of the Russian Orthodox liturgy, was a near-perfect match that suited the solemn conclusion of an ancient and sacred tradition.
As Parsifal, Austrian tenor Nikolai Schukoff gets less to do in this act than Gurnemanz, but was notably successful in doing so. The English poet William Blake imagined the human journey to begin with innocence, to be shattered by the sorrows of experience, and then to be rebuilt into an informed joy and fresh innocence borne out of that experience.
We meet Parsifal in this act at precisely the moment when his spiritual transfiguration occurs. Mr. Schukoff grasped the essence of this moment, and, as the act proceeded to its conclusion, his vocal approach evolved to suit. Beginning tentatively and almost fearfully, his voice proceeded through understanding, eventually gaining conviction and authority, as he understood his final mission to be the redemptive cure of Amfortas and the community even as he ascended to become their new king.
Mr. Schukoff's is a clarion clear tenor that, at the outset, still radiated a relative sense of innocence. But as matters proceeded, the darkness of his lower range became dominant, adding a different, almost unexpected, masculine sense of real authority to his persona—a phenomenal dramatic effect, particularly in an act presented without costuming, props, or scenery.
Last but certainly not least among the three key soloists in this act was American baritone Thomas Hampson as the despairing Amfortas. His role dominates the final third of this act before Parsifal returns to redeem him bringing blessed relief at last to his suffering. Tall and imposing, Mr. Hampson brought a powerful, dark, engulfing gloom to this role, and his time on stage proved genuinely electrifying, yet moving at the same time.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Hampson will be moving on soon to sing the role of Amfortas in a complete and fully staged "Parsifal" at the Chicago Lyric Opera. After his performances here, we can confidently assure Lyric Opera patrons that their Amfortas will not disappoint.
Rating: **** (Four out of four stars)
Friday and Saturday performances (October 11 and 12) of NSO's concert version of "Parsifal," Act III, at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall remain. For tickets and further information, visit the NSO area of the Kennedy Center website, or call the box office: 800-444-1434 or 202-467-4600.

Catholics Killed at Mass in Iraq: Extremist Muslims invade Church, Murder Priests Comments
One report concerning the state of the Church after the security forces stormed in to attempt to rescue the Christians is particularly horrifying. It came from a police officer, "It's a horrible scene. More than 50 people were killed. The suicide vests were filled with ball bearings to kill as many people as possible. You can see human flesh everywhere. Flesh was stuck to the top roof of the hall. Many people went to the hospitals without legs ... Continue Reading

It saddens me how ill-informed and misguided some of the comments in response to this article are. We should be praying for the victims and their families, and standing up to such violence--while remembering that these extremists and their actions are in no way indicative of the opinions of all Muslims. Islam is a peaceful religion when it is practiced the way that it should be practiced--and perhaps if more of the Catholics on here would open their minds and learn about other faiths such as Islam, they would realize that. It is not Islam itself that creates a culture of violence, but rather the degree of fundamentalism with which this small percentage of Muslims practice their faith.
Should we not already know this, as Catholics? Our holy leaders discourage extreme fundamental readings of the Bible, and yet we know that there are Christians who use Jesus Christ as a way to attack others just as there are Muslims who use Allah as a way to attack others. But are we defined on the basis of extremist Christians? No. So why should we define all Muslims on the basis of those in their faith who are extremist?
It's a double standard, and a deadly one. Remember that Jesus Christ preached Love. To evoke hatred for those who don't deserve it is going against His Word. -

From the looks of things there is an awakening happening in the West as to the true nature of Islam. Many of us are no longer fooled by the media coverups and the lies that Islam is simply a "religion of peace." Muslims and Christians do not belong together and should remain segregated. I'd rather wear the easy yoke of Christ than the be under the cruel sword of Mohammed. It isn't too late folks but we have to get serious and drop the politically correct "peace at any price" follishness. These folks died as martyrs for Christ and His Church. We should ask them to pray for us to wake up and get real before we find ourselves slaves.

Ah, yes, again we have it. The world according to John Grimes. All else are blind. Let us lay it all at the feet of "American aggression." Let us forget what life was like for all others in Iraq under Sadaam Hussein. Remember this; assassinations, the sudden disappearances in the middle of the night, secret police, chemical weapons, torture chambers, deportations, Sarin and mustard gas employment against the Kurds, wholesale massacres, mass graves, torture of foreign journalists, reprisals against Shia muslims, destruction of food sources for those who opposed him. Yep, a true blessing, this "secular" leader. Yep, nobody else condemned him but America. Except maybe, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty Int'l, and the European Union Commission for Human Rights. Yep, that "reality" was better left alone, right, John?

So, Bulbajer, the people were dancing in the streets of Latin America 'cause they hate America. Guess that's why those same Latin Americans flock to this country in the millions as illegal immigrants, huh? Again, you try to confuse the issue with your mindless musings. Who entered Our Lady of Salvation in Bagdad to kill the priest celebrating Mass? Muslims. They did so because they were confident that the Muslim world would back them. That is the problem. Until Muslim clerics, until Islam as a religion repudiates "jihad" these kinds of "terrible" acts will continue, even proliferate. As far as what America may or may have not done, I'll take America any day of the week. Perhaps you'd like to live elsewhere to lob your whimsy grenades?

The war between truth and illusion is an endless one.But what does a man stand to gain from a believe that does not protect him.Those who kill do it because they are insecure and lack confidence.However,we must step up our trust in God to give us a way out.The blood of those killed and our injured hearts will keep crying to God until He shows us the way out.WE PRAY AND BELIEVE THAT ALL MEN SHALL COME TO LOVE THEIR FELLOW MEN.

Pete Brady, I think the dancing in the streets after 9/11 had more to do with anti-American hatred than Islamic extremis, believe it or not. There were people in Latin America who celebrated too; Latin America and the Middle East are two areas where U.S. foreign policy was especially aggressive in the 20th century. Our government did a lot of terrible things, supposedly in the name of anti-communism. I'm not saying that justifies hatred and killing, though.

Joey Maxim: Notice how your first-hand knowledge of the current reality in Iraq goes totally unnoticed by many who post at this site. They are interested in this news item only because they think it somehow strengthens their own right-wing political position, not because this atrocity is directly attributable to a decision for aggressive war many of them in fact supported in 2003. They cannot see that American aggression, a policy adopted against the advice of most of the rest of the civilized world, has allowed untold evils to befall Iraqi Christians and those in other Muslim lands. As an old Spanish adage has it, there is no man more blind than he who doesn't wish to see.

If there were Shi'ite Muslims massacred in the same way as the Catholics were, there would be screaming headlines - are we Roman Catholics worth jack squat? As far as the media is concerned, it looks like it. Christians are suffering in silence around the world and nobody is reporting it for the media! What a wasted opportunity. Aid To The Church In Need is one charity the Holy Father holds close to his heart and, instead of getting angry, we need to help them out with our Widow's Mite to support our oppressed brothers and sisters in Christ!
I also think one of the reasons why President Obama is quaking in his boots over the mid-term elections is not merely because he has failed to kick start the US economy. He has taken too much notice of the empty vessels and nodding dogs that have surrounded him for so long massaging his ego. He has also failed - miserably - to read the American people on the ground and respect those values that has made America great... hence the Tea Party and an invigorated Republican Party.
He has flown in the face of Jewish and Christian faith - especially the Roman Catholic faith - on many issues.
If Obama was as hell bent on getting the economy back on track instead of obsessing about abortion, contraception and same-sex marriages then he'd be better off... and so would the American people.
Eternal Rest, grant unto those Iraqui souls, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Soon climbing trees gave way to hanging out with the other teenagers, kicking back to Motown music blaring over car stereos, drinking beer and smoking pot. A favorite spot was down at the Martinez brothers' house, where the boys were always working on their cars.
Some of the boys were in gangs that took their names from where they lived. They were the 23rd Street or Curtis Park or the Projects. No Bloods. No Crips. And no vice or money involved. If a lowrider drove slowly through the neighborhood, it was to show off, not a prelude to a shooting. Gangs were all about fighting with rivals over dates, insults and street corners. And it wasn't just the boys doing the scraping.
In the late Sixties, the best place to find action was at the weekend dances sponsored by the Crusade for Justice. Corky Gonzales and other Chicano activists had taken over a huge old building on Downing Street, where they tried to bring together Mexican kids from different parts of town. The Crusade workers wanted to promote unity. What they got were melees out in the parking lot.
The guys would fight over turf. The girls would fight over the guys. Everyone knew there would be fights, no matter how much the Crusaders complained that they had too much in common to try to beat each other up. They just didn't understand it was all in good fun.
Theresa and her friends counted on those dances for entertainment. They even dressed for the evening's combat, reminding each other not to wear clothes they cared about. Nothing with buttons. No dangling earrings...not if you wanted to keep your earlobes from being torn off.
The dances took place close to Theresa's neighborhood, which meant the kids from the north and west sides of Denver were the invaders and at a disadvantage. The local girls would mess with the guys from another part of town just to get the other girls riled. There'd be a fight, the police or the neighborhood adults would show up to break it up, and everyone would scatter. All through the week, they'd proudly display their bruises, black eyes and scratches and look forward to the next dance.
But the Crusade for Justice workers were right about one thing. They did have something in common: Nobody had much money. When they did have cash, it went for groceries or, when the girls started having babies, to buy their kids diapers and shoes. And in that neighborhood, the girls started having babies when they were hardly more than children themselves.
Theresa was no different. She was a wild thing who rebelled against her strict mother and grandparents. In their house, drinking and cigarettes were forbidden. So was cussing. So she stayed out until all hours drinking and carousing, hiding when she'd hear her mother walking up and down the street late at night demanding in a loud voice that Theresa come home. More than once, she woke up in the closet of a friend's bedroom with her hand still wrapped around a bottle.
Big-breasted and pretty, Theresa looked like a woman long before she was one. When she was twelve, one of the Martinez brothers, sixteen-year-old Danny, took an interest in her. She lied and told him she was fifteen, and the chase was on.
Danny wasn't very big, but he already had a reputation for taking what he wanted and not letting anybody stand in his way. What he wanted was Theresa. What she wanted was someone who would promise to take care of her...and get her out of the crowded house at 2727 California. She thought she was in love.
Theresa's mother had never remarried. She'd scraped and saved to raise her kids on welfare and never went out except to work after her youngest, Jimmy, was old enough to go to school. Her grandparents slept in separate rooms and seemed to speak to each other only when they had to. There was always plenty of food sitting on the stove, but the family rarely sat down to dinner together.
Ever since she could remember, Theresa had envied Danny's family life and adored his parents. She thought they were the perfect couple. She never saw them fight or even argue. He called her "Mama" and she called him "Daddy." If they were watching television and she noticed him starting to nod off, she'd say, "Daddy, you're sleepy, go to bed." And he'd reply, "Not till you do, Mama." That's the sort of marriage she wanted someday.
Danny's father, Joe, was a hardworking roofer, a good man, fair with his five boys and three girls. He loved to laugh and wasn't afraid to demonstrate his love for his family. Danny's mother, Ida, was a sweet, caring woman who seemed to believe that it was her responsibility to feed any kid in the neighborhood who happened to be there around mealtime. All the family members spent a good deal of time hugging each other.
The Martinezes treated Theresa like a little sister, but Danny had other ideas. She was fifteen when they had their first child, Raquel; they married when she was sixteen and pregnant with Danny Jr.

Fly balls that bounced in the field of play then over the home run fence, or through the home run fence were considered home runs! Today this is called a ground rule double. After doing some research, it has been said that Babe Ruth did not have any bouncing home runs, but it was very common for many players of that era.

Today is Day 2 of the Blizzard of 2013 or as The Weather Channel has dubbed it, "Winter Storm Nemo". Richard and I are sending good thoughts to fellow New Englanders affected by the blizzard. We also say "thanks" to all of our friends, neighbors and Hodgdon Island Inn Alumni who have been keeping us in their thoughts and prayers – we greatly appreciate the love and concern.
Whether you choose to call it "the blizzard" or "Winter Storm Nemo" it doesn't alter the fact that we are dealing with virtual whiteout conditions, excessive winds, massive amounts of snow, and huge drifts – first to the south and then to the north! Needless to say, Richard and I are having a delightful day in.
Richard has started painting again. I love watching him as he brings the images on canvas to life. In the background we are listening to some of our favorite DVDs (mostly British dramas and/or mysteries, and okay, yes, the odd episode of Downtown Abbey). And me you ask? What am I doing? Well, I am curled up on the exquisite down-filled chaise lounge reading. Reading what you ask?! I am trading back and forth from cookbook (Ina Garten) to Kindle (yes, I'm afraid I've succumbed to technology) and to an old, but much loved, paperback copy of Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who Saw Red.
In The Cat Who Saw Red, the hero, a newspaperman named James McIntosh Qwilleran, has been given a new assignment of "food reviewer" for his imaginary newspaper, The Daily Fluxion. I have to admit it's making me hungry – hence the switch to the cookbook. And what does one make for dinner in the middle of a blizzard?!
Answer: pancakes! Yum! So that starting me thinking about pancakes – you know – where did they come from? How long have they been around, etc? So, here are a few fun facts:
1) Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies
2) The Oxford English Dictionary records the word flapjack as being used as early as the beginning of the 17th century, referring to a flat tart or pan-cake.
3) The terms pancake and flapjack are often confused and today in the US are nearly synonymous.
4) A flapjack is a thick small pancake, generally around 10 cm in diameter. Flapjacks are often served in a stack with syrup and butter, which can be accompanied by bacon or sausages.
5) Shakespeare refers to pancakes in All's Well That Ends Well and to flap-jacks in Pericles, Prince of Tyre: "Come, thou shant go home, and we'll have flesh for holidays, fish for fasting-days, and moreo'er puddings and flap-jacks, and thou shalt be welcome."Act II Scene I
6) German pancakes or Dutch baby pancakes are bowl-shaped. They are eaten with lemons and powdered sugar, jam, fresh fruit or caramelized apples.
7) In Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day" and, particularly in Ireland and Scotland, as "Pancake Tuesday". (Shrove Tuesday is better known in the United States, France and other countries as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday). Pancake Tuesday is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last of the fatty and rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar could be used up before fasting began at the start of Lent.
Hmmm, well, I think it's going to be …

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tink & Turi!
Facts about Tink & Turi
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tink & Turi's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sweet Blue Russian type boy kitty
My name is Tink and I have a brother Turi. We are very handsome boys who would love to go to our forever home together. We have been in foster care a long time because we were so small and only had each other for comfort. We love to rump and play together but the best part is that we get to snuggle and sleep together.
Other Pets at Buddies Place Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tink & Turi, a Arlington Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Arlington, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Arlington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Arlington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Arlington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Arlington paves the way for another one to be saved.

Short Film: A Library Becomes a Towering Fortress in 'Toute la mémoire du monde'
Features By Daniel Walber on June 4, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Apparently the French National Library in Paris is the coolest place on earth. At least it was in 1956, through the camera of Alain Resnais. Toute la mémoire du monde is as in-depth a tour as is possible in twenty minutes, skimming through room after room of collected periodicals, books and artifacts. Resnais introduces the library as a fortress built to protect the memory of humanity and frames the enormous institution with consummate grandeur.

Is my 'coming out of retirement' announcement any more preposterous than those of Brett Favre, Roger Clemens or Michael Jordan? I think not.
Year after year, we're reminded by the media that every touchdown, every dunk, every tobacco loogie could be the player's last. A tearful press conference is held to say goodbye.
Until they return the next season with a media-hyped comeback. Can you imagine if 46 year-old Jamie Moyer pulled this crap every year?
I realize the NFL delights in media coverage not related to a gun charge, but the Favre charade was ridiculous.
Minute-by-minute helicopter coverage of Favre's every move? For an aging backup with a five o clock shadow in grimy cargo shorts? Spare me.
Let's face it. Athletes are babies. And for some of these guys, endorsements, strippers and multi-million dollar contracts aren't enough.
They also throw press conference birthday parties to stroke the ego. The publicity-starved team that makes the risky sign gets ink and tv coverage. And the media have a lead story. Everyone's happy.
But I wouldn't have returned unless I truly felt I had something left in the tank. I wanted to go out on a high note, and I felt this blog was a good fit.
I want to tell all my fans that I'll make sure to let you know if I hang it up for good. But I promise to talk it over with family if I come out of retirement. Again.

Hi all,
In order to help out programmers starting to program AutoCAD Addins I've created a class library to make our lives a bit easier. I also hope other people here will contribute to this class library so we can create an AutoCAD frame work off building blocks. We all have to create layers, load line types create text styles and dimension styles.
At this moment I created a Layer Class, LineType Class and a general Enum Class So we can use StrongType names instead of text strings. I only added an enums for all Linetypes in acad.lin.
But I can think of some other enums like color witch returns color numbers.
The Second project in the solution is for testing and has some examples on how to use the classes.
The Solution is created in Visual Studio 2010. The AutoCAD version I used is AutoCAD 2011 and is coded in C#. My knowledge of VB.NET is limited but it would be nice if there is someone who could convert It.
For the next versions I will add classes for creating text styles and dimension styles.
If any of you have comments about my code please don't hesitate to tell me about it or change the code.
If anyone has an idée to keep the source on a central place please tell me so we can place it there. Some kind of versioning would be nice. For now please attach your classes with your post and I will add them to the solution and post a new version of it.
I hope we as community can create something we all can use. And make developing for AutoCAD a bit Easier.
Kind regards,
Hello all,
I've added a new class to the solution.
Kind regards,
Hi All,
Had a little sparetime this weekend so I added a new class for inserting blocks.
I've created a new control AcDgDwgThumbnail derived from the standard picturebox. I added 2 new properties to this control as you can see in the following picture.
The DwgFile takes a string value witch hold a dwg including it's path. If the file exists the dwgthumbnail wil be displayed in the AcDgDwgThumbnail control.
In the test application I added a simple function to display a dwg's preview. See printscreen.
I've also added the new Solution V1.02.
Kind regards,
Nice Irvin,
A good issue to figure out is how to handle Transaction management.
And if I may add,
you probably or definitely need some type of management.
So the class library will mold nicely.
And some standards would need to be added.
Just say you got group of smart guys.
They build great classes but one did one for layers and his function names are AddLayer to add to database.
Another guy did text and his is CreateText but he has a function called AddText but that is to add it to some static collection or something.---You see where that is going
Here is how a current project for Lisp is being handled for some ideas.
Just go here http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=37684.90 and enter "Group Project: Change item(s) to Layer"
in search. There are too man threads--- ideas, sign-up, vote....etc
Hi all,
I have been busy rewriting my classes and tought it was about time to share theme with you all. I've structered the code so they all work the same way. Here is the new AcDgClassLibrary - Classdiagram.
Fot the next version i will create an new class for creating new dimensionstyles ad a block jigging class and wil try to document my code as best as i can.
Jeff could you explain what mean with how to handle transactions?
For now i hope this will help people here and i will continue work on this project and hop more people will be involved.
If you have wishes please post them.
I've changed the version number to 18.104.22.168
Kind regards,
To keep the user from having to deal with transactions and at the same time handle different databases, methods called in loops.....etc
Hi Jeff,
Do you have any ideas on how to handle that??? If so please let me know. I think we can win alot if we can create something like that.
Kind regards,
"In order to help out programmers starting to program AutoCAD Addins..."
For those of us (Me) who are starting, a readme file of some sort would help just to get this going. What to do and where to start (after download and extract of course)
FWIW [comming from a beginners perspective] Awesome work by the way.
I second your suggestion. Also, I would love to have a version written in / converted to VB.NET code.
I have just finished a beginning AutoCAD VB.NET class (4-day, live or 4 hour live online sessions includes a book, many code snippets and instruction with a custom project day. It is around $1,000 and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! See www.vbcad.com )
Irvin, This is a great initiative, thank you. I have a question regarding best practices. I note that you pass both the document and transaction to the class. Are you able to explain the reason for this? I generally pass the database, then start the transaction within the function. This is fundamental to building a reusable library so I would like to understand the best approach. Thanks, Dale.

sip on this
Posted by Dale Buss on November 17, 2011 03:53 PM
Remember when PepsiCo only sold beverages and snacks? Nowadays, the company keeps moving further afield with social-media efforts such as its Pepsi Refresh pro-social community grants and year-old startup partnership project.
But there continues to be murmurs from investors who are eager to see PepsiCo get back to what they feel should be "its knitting" — the core business of selling those beverages and snacks, and developing new variations to keep consumers coming back for more.
Take its year-old PepsiCo10 startup booster. Shiv Singh, PepsiCo's global head of digital marketing, told an Ad Age conference this week that the strategy is to get in on the ground floor with startups that could become the next Foursquare, Twitter or, indeed, Facebook or Google, and have them partner with PepsiCo brands to inject more innovation into their marketing and product development channels.
On social, PepsiCo — the subject of a recent hour-long special on CNBC called Pepsi's Challenge — has been a leader in testing new digital waters to engage consumers, teaming up with Foursquare, for instance, when it had just 400,000 users.
Today it has more than 10 million FourSquare followers worldwide, the magazine said. PepsiCo now pours about 10 percent of its digital spend into startups as part of a worldwide move by PepsiCo (via its year-old tech incubator program, PepsiCo10, which partnered Zazu's mobile app whizzes with Quaker among others) to own and build its own platforms and experiences.
But not everyone is convinced this is the way for PepsiCo to go. It's one thing to venture, along with rivals in the food and beverage category, into the better-for-you arena, this thinking goes — but pursuing entirely new business models such as greatly expanded digital-venture funding may be distracting from the company's main mission: generating returns for shareholders.
JustDrinks.com reports that some PepsiCo board members, investors and analysts are concerned that CEO Indra Nooyi's plunge into more healthful fare comes at the expense of fixing the company's stagnant stock price.
Looking ahead, another challenge facing Nooyi and her leadership team is the increased pressure for PepsiCo to split in two as fellow CPG giant Kraft's board recently decided to do, which makes activist investor Nelson Peltz ponying up for a $150-million stake in the company all the more interesting. It's relatively tiny compared with PepsiCo's capitalization, but it could mean that if wolves aren't at the door, they're at least picking up a scent.
One bright spot that's boosting its stock price (to $71) — the company's investments (representing billions of dollars) being poured into China and India.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Pancetta in MD!
Facts about Pancetta in MD
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Pancetta in MD's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Pancetta is a little 5 year old tan with white spotted muzzle Cocker Spaniel boy. Pancetta came to CSAC from Heart 2 Heart Rescue in Indiana, where they rescued him from a kill shelter. Now it is our fondest hope to find this boy a loving forever home.
Pancetta has an under-bite, which means his lower jaw is a bit longer than the upper jaw. This does not seem to bother him, as he cheerfully chewed all the treats he was given on the transport. He is a well-mannered boy and he was easy to handle and carry, as well as being a good walker on a leash. He enjoyed all the pets he received and stood patiently for more.
Pancetta was recently the toast of our adoption show! It was clear he loves people and gives the best little kisses. It also appears he likes kids as well. He was great with everyone he met!
Pancetta is neutered and up-to-date on all his shots. If you are interesting in giving Pancetta a permanent, loving home he so dearly wants, please let us hear from you!
For more information about this dog, email our Adoption Coordinator at email@example.com.
The medical and custodial expenses of the numerous Cocker Spaniels in our care are tremendous. With the current economy, more and more dogs with urgent and serious medical issues are being abandoned. While we are committed to providing the best possible care for these luckless, voiceless dogs, the increased costs are beginning to take their toll on our ability to do so. What this means is that we are able to rescue fewer dogs, and in turn that means more dogs may be euthanized every day. Even if you cannot adopt or foster one of our dogs, please consider making a donation. We know that money is tight everywhere, but even just a few dollars from many people adds up. Think of those dogs still in shelters or on the streets – those without warm beds, full bellies, and the knowledge that they are safe. For just the cost of a few cups of coffee, you can make a tremendous in the life of one of our needy furballs. For other ways to donate, please scroll to the bottom of our main web page. The Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization and your donations are entirely tax deductible. Please check out our Wigglebutts in Need at http://www.cockeradoptions.org.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pancetta in MD, a Westminster Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Westminster, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Westminster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Westminster already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Westminster breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Westminster paves the way for another one to be saved.

Gnome Shell multiple WiFi connections.
I have to set up the wifi network manually at work, and then setup the wifi network manually at home and I can't figure out how to get into the network manager that gnome 2 used. It was nice having all my wifi networks saved in there.
Any help would be great, other than that I'm loving Gnome shell.
Thanks very much,

Ok it looks like i have the problem figured out. I thought that gnome shell's "network settings" had replace the old network connections. But the old one is still there if you search it from activities. Hopefully if when i put all my networks in there they'll work right as they did before.

The Physical Lincoln: A54j
From Lincolnwiki
Mirror comment
The original image is billed as a daguerreotype. This means that Lincoln should be shown mirror-reversed. However, the mole on Lincoln's face is visible on his right side (as it was in reality), which means that these prints from the original image have already been mirror-reversed somewhere along the way. Thus, the images presented here are as the Library of Congress presents them.

Corridor Reaction to Mandela Death
Freedom, Justice, Love, Hope are just some of the words being used as people across the globe remember Nelson Mandela. The man who changed the world as a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary died Thursday at the age of 95. People in the corridor say Mandela is the kind of person who comes along once in lifetime. For many there are simply no words powerful enough to describe the visionary called Madiba or Father. President Obama said we are not going to see the likes of Nelson Mandela again and former president Bill Clinton proclaimed him change-agent of the world.
His message to end apartheid soared far beyond the borders of South Africa to those here in the corridor. Chad Simmons, Executive Director of Diversity Focus says even after 27 years in prison Mandela refused to be consumed by hate. I think it gave people a tremendous amount of hope because they saw he did not lost hope .. President Mandelas message was for the human spirit that has no color or race or ethnicity.
At the African American Museum of Iowa in Cedar Rapids you can find all the iconic symbols of the civil rights movement in the United States, including black and white drinking fountains and the lunch counter representing the Woolworth protest in Greensborough, North Carolina. But Mandela became the symbol for the world. Museum Director Michael Kates says he is saddened to hear of Mandelas passing but continuously overwhelmed by the man who was willing to die for what he believed and by his lasting impact. Think about the people who jailed him .. who had beat him .. had spit on him. He was eventually able to cross that line and bring them together.
Simmons adds that despite Mandelas suffering, he did enjoy a special reward. Unlike people like Stephen Biko or Martin Luther King .. he was one of the unique people that had the opportunity to see his dream come true.
Simmons says while he hasnt heard of any plans as of Thursday night, hes confident there will be some type of gathering or memorial service in Cedar Rapids to remember Mandela.

In many cases, our apps benefit much from a backend on the network. In the simplest case this may be a site that adds complements the app and makes its content available in an additional way.
For example, in addition to our holiday calendar app for iPhone, iPad, and Android we have developed an online holiday calendar. This offer is also well accepted on the web. We can provide additional value to our users and, at the same time, make new users aware of our apps.
We supplement the re-use of content by a convenient data editor in the backend. This allows us to have the information in our content management system automatically prepared for the various platforms and to provide the same content on all target devices.
For our clients we have also developed online services that extend the functionality of apps. An example is an online voting service, where users can rate content in an app and then have current top lists displayed on their device. This service of course prevents that reviews are counted twice.
Another example is the registration of subscriptions on a server which allows to transfer content subscriptions within an app to other devices of the same user. This is a prerequisite for iPhone apps to be able to realize subscriptions without automatic renewal in accordance with Apple´s specifications. Safety aspects play an important role in this application, of course.

New York — Madison Square Garden will hold a special concert next month to benefit those affected by Superstorm Sandy.
No performers have been announced for the Dec. 12 event, dubbed "12-12-12." In a news release Thursday, Msg said more details would be available in the coming days.
Proceeds will benefit those affected by Sandy in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area through the Robin Hood Relief Fund. The event is being produced by those behind the 9/11 benefit "The Concert for New York City," which featured Paul McCartney, Jay-z, The Who and Elton John.
Sandy made landfall more than a week ago, killing many of its more than 100 victims in New York City and New Jersey and leaving millions without power.

Clear Channel Media, The Madison Square Garden Company and The Weinstein Company are joining together to produce a benefit concert to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The concert, titled "12-12-12," will feature live music, although the producers did not reveal who would be performing. The roster should be an A-list one though, given that this is the same group of corporate entities that backed "The Concert for New York City," a star-studded affair with the likes of The Who and Billy Joel on hand to raise money for 9/11.

"Everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it." - Mark Twain
The weather was an excellent metaphor for the librarian profession's current status quo: the presence of smothering heat (budget cuts), the pros and cons of doing anything outside temperature controlled areas (movement and change versus consolidation and static), and everyone desperately wishing for a change in the climate (draw your own conclusions on that one). The only topic to be discussed more than the weather at the conference was that of change, at least at some of the sessions I attended and the circles I was socializing in. It was mentioned in the acceptance speech during the PLA awards in that "[the library profession] is a quickly changing field." It was at this utterance that I stifled an eyeroll so strong that I was assured to be rendered blind if I allowed it to happen. But I digress.
[I had a blurb written about the topic of change, but upon review of some of the things I wrote, I decided to bump it to another post.] -- Read More
Today, I registered for my first ALA Annual conference. It went along smoothly for the most part, save for when I went to pick a hotel. I had to scramble to get a map to figure out what was where from the slim pickings left. Even then, I ended up doing a virtual eeny-meany-miney-mo and selecting a hotel. As it turns out, according to Google Maps this hotel is right next to the building that houses Fox News. I personally really don't have anything against Fox News, but I'll be able to tell my fellow conference attendees if the presence of thousands of left leaning socialist 'give away the materials for free on taxpayer dollars' librarians has any effect on the station. Or maybe the proximity of the conservative network will mask my liberal presence in the city the same way that the cave that was strong with the Dark Side of the Force hid Yoda's from Darth Vader and the Emperor on Dagobah. In any event, I found the registration for the ALA website to be a bit stranger. -- Read More
I'm very humbled to announce that I have been nominated by my friend Buffy Hamilton for the 2009 Edublog Awards in the category of Best New Blog. I'm very flattered to be considered and I take it as a great compliment. (Although, as I look through the other sites nominated, I see a lot more teacher oriented blogs than librarian oriented blogs.) I do get a fancy badge for the blog, which gives it some color. Check it out!
In other news, I am gradually being peer pressured into attending ALA Midwinter 2010 next month in Boston. While it will certainly be very damn cold, the social opportunities to meet with other librarians that I have been Twittering, Facebooking, and Friendfeeding with is a powerful lure. (FriendFeeding sounds somewhat off.) I have to check as to whether I can get credit for a day worked for Friday since I will be paying my own way otherwise. -- Read More
