Re:Native Widgets (282 comments)
Android and iOS)are weird platforms because they treat all non-native toolits as second class citizens. You are EXPECTED to use Android/iOS APIs for everything. The idea that people might write apps in a non-Google/non-Apple framework simply did not occur to them. They are too busy trying to reinvent the world to bother with anything that is not invented in the hallowed halls of the Goolgeplex or Arcology.
Re:GTK+ is standalone (282 comments)
"weird dialect of C++98" - WTF? What is this dialect you speak of? Do you need to pass --weird to G++ to get it to compile? Of course not! It's using the same C++ every other C++ app in the world is using. Both C++98 and C++11 are supported. It doesn't REQUIRE you to use C++11, but that is a benefit not a drawback.
"it has its own object model" - Of course it does, that's because C++ does not have one of its own. QObject is there to provide for the introspection that C++ lacks. Once you have that introspection you can start communicating with other objects. I fail to understand why this is a disadvantage in your eyes.
"networking stack" - Of course. Why should it not? It is an cross-platform application framework.
"container library" - When Qt began the STL was fragmented, not standardized, and poorly supported. Yet containers are useful. Qt kept them around because they turned out to be better than the STL containers. They're a balance between raw performance and the "bloat" of pure templatized containers. Externally they end up being 100% compatible with the STL.
"threading library" - It was only extremely recent that C++ got its own threading, and it's just very low level threading. Qt threading provides a nice usable wrapper around threads (which are native C++ threads underneath if built with C++11), and the ability to easily communicate between threads with signals/slots.
"graphics primitive library" - Why not? Seriously, why not? Isnt't that the whole point of a GUI toolkit? Underneath it draws widgets using the native controls, if available, or uses its own if not. That's why the widgets look like native controls on Windows and Mac, because they ARE native controls! On X11 it will draw its own. It doesn't use Cairo, why should it use Cairo, who made Cairo king that we all have to bow down before it?
Re:GTK+ is a C library (282 comments)
When it comes to the UI, objects are natural. Every C toolkit goes through hoops to provide you with objects of some kind. Motif, GTK, etc. So why not just use an object oriented language to begin with?
You don't have to use the dark corners of the language. Qt sticks to just the Object Oriented parts of C++, with just a tiny bit of templates. Not a functor in sight (unless you wander toward the totally optional Qt::Concurrent framework). Internally it uses all of the language, but as an API it provides just the object oriented subset.
Re:Ahhh ... (196 comments)
The shareholders hired Elop. The shareholders kept Elop on. It will be the shareholders who approve the buyout. And it will be the shareholders who vote to reward Elop.
So yes the sharehodlers are getting the shaft, but they're asking for it. I don't understand the motivation behind bondage and dominance, but who am I to judge the shareholders' sexual proclivities?

Re:Defending tuf (298 comments)
Precisely! The price if a good is whatever the seller and buyer can agree on. The labour theory of value is wrong. The cost theory of value is wrong. Things are only worth what we think they are worth. There's stuff like marginal utility, supply and demand curves, etc., but they are just fancy ways of saying that something is only worth what someone will pay for it. Even that $200 textbook, if we didn't value the textbook more than $200 we wouldn't buy it, and would resort to alternatives instead.
p.s. Actually we're not paying high prices for textbooks, we're paying high prices for college courses to which textbooks are attached.

New Cuba Refugee Policy Floats Few Boats in Florida
President Clinton's tougher stance angers many Cuban-Americans
FOR the last 15 years, Jose Basulto has flown over the azure Florida Straits, spotting Cuban refugees fleeing the communist isle in makeshift rafts.
This week, the Clinton administration announced a policy shift that makes Mr. Basulto's ''Brothers to the Rescue'' obsolete.
''Now that the rules of the game have changed, we no longer have any relevance,'' Basulto says angrily. ''We won't be helping the US government help the Cuban government punish the refugees.''
The surprise about-face in the three-decade-old United States Cuban-refugee policy -- a move apparently aimed at portraying Clinton as tough on illegal immigration -- has dramatically split both the Clinton administration and the Cuban-American community in Florida.
Many in South Florida were elated by Attorney General Janet Reno's announcement on Tuesday that the US would allow most of the 20,900 Cuban refugees detained at the US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to enter the US. Nine months ago, White House spokesman Jeff Eller said those refugees would not be allowed into the US. ''Not now, not ever.''
But the other policy shift stunned many Cuban-Americans here. Cuban refugees picked up at sea by the US Coast Guard will now be forcibly repatriated to Cuba, said Attorney General Reno.
The ''regularization'' of Cuban immigration appears to circumvent the Cuban Adjustment Act, which automatically grants Cubans political asylum once they reach US soil. No other refugees enjoy that privilege. But Wayne Smith, a former head of the US Interests Section in Havana, says, ''The US seems to be saying that the act does not apply because Cubans will not be allowed to reach our shores.''
The policy change enrages many in South Florida.
''It's unconscionable and unprecedented,'' says Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R) of Florida. ''Never before in our history have we entered into an agreement with a communist dictatorship where we systematically return refugees to that communist country.''
The new policy, negotiated in secret talks last month in New York, requires that refugees picked up by the Coast Guard ask for political asylum.
If they do so, they will be met in Havana by US officials and may apply for it through legal channels.

Cilantro Tamales blends authentic Mexican recipes with creative, modern touches to make its menu of entrees, appetizers, salads, and sides. Circle taste wagons around three varietals of tamales, all made fresh in-house, or clamp jaw joints around Cilantro's selection of enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, chimichangas, and fajitas. An offering from the dessert menu makes a sweet, crispy mealcap, and is preferable to ending the meal with a excessive bout of screeching.
The culinary artisans at Bajio Mexican Grill assemble fresh ingredients to craft flavorful, authentic fare inspired by the Bajío region of Mexico. Fresh, handmade tortillas wrap slow-cooked meat in the sweet pork burrito ($8.49), a warm packet of flavor more comforting than a pillow-top mattress softly cooing lullabies. Pineapple and shrimp cha-cha in a pan of honey butter before joining greens and cheese to compose the pineapple-shrimp salad ($8.99), and the grilled mesquite-lime-chicken enchilada platter lazes in freshly made sauce ($5.29 for one; $7.49 for two) as crispy chips sun themselves nearby. For simpler feasts from south of the border, mouths can dive, sink, or somersault into quesadilla platters ($7.99) or savory shrimp taco platters ($6.29 for one; $8.99 for two).
At Perico's, the faux parrots that perch over the dining room may not greet you when you arrive, but the din of live music will. Musicians take the stage five days a week, playing in front of a silver curtain that glitters under the twinkling lights that stretch across the restaurant's lofty ceilings. As rock 'n' roll, doo-wop, and '80s covers fill the air, guests have been known to stand up and dance off the hearty Tex-Mex dinners that emerge from Perico's kitchen. Classic platters feature such Mexican favorites as burritos, enchiladas, tacos, and flautas with a pile of rice and beans. More innovative eats such as the quesadilla burger, a hamburger patty wrapped in a flour tortilla and smothered in cheese and pico de gallo, unite Mexican and American flavors more tastily than a bacon-wrapped peso.
Inside La Terraza 47's dining room, walls with faux windows, shutters, and flowerboxes recreate the feeling of sitting in a Spanish courtyard. Underneath strings of twinkling lights, servers deliver homemade chicken croquettes and sesame-crusted ahi tuna in tapas-sized dishes. Heartier appetites can attack beef enchiladas or a new york strip flavored with garlic or spanish herb butter. At night, La Terraza 47 evokes Madrid nightlife with DJs spinning tunes or musicians strumming classical guitars.
Sabor Latino packs the Incan, Spanish, African, and Asian flavors that influence Peruvian cuisine into a menu of traditional dishes. Plates of fresh ceviche cure pieces of fish, shrimp, or black mussels in lime juice with a mixture of vegetables, and causas stack grilled octopus and other meats between mashed-potato patties. Heartier fare includes lomo saltado, tender skirt steak sautéed with tomatoes and cilantro, as well as corvine a la criolla, a breaded sea bass topped with a salsa of fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime. The cozy restaurant creates an intimate atmosphere as patrons sit around small white-clothed tables. A wrought-iron fence surrounds the brick and stone patio, where guests enjoy refreshing breezes and views of the nearby lake.

In a major win for pharmaceutical companies, the Supreme Court has ruled that pharmaceutical sales representatives (PSRs) are exempt from federal overtime pay requirements under the "outside sales exemption" of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The case, Christopher v SmithKline Beecham Corp., DBA GlaxoSmithKline (No. 11-204, Decided June 18, 2012), resolves a conflict between the Second and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal and impacts some 90,000 pharmaceutical sales representatives throughout the United States.
Under the relevant provision of the FLSA's outside sales exemption, the employee's primary duty must be making sales. But because of the unique regulatory environment that applies to drug companies, PSRs do not actually sell their employer's products to physicians. Rather, PSRs meet with physicians and provide information about the benefits and uses of the company's drugs and other medical products in the hope that the physician will be persuaded to prescribe the products to patients, as medically appropriate. Prescription drugs are then sold by pharmacies that dispense the drugs to individual customers who have a physician's prescription. Therefore, PSRs do not actually make sales in the usual sense of the word.

POSTED: Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - 7:21pm
UPDATED: Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 4:09pm
Tyler, TX — I hosted a debate last night in Longview, and before things started, I was milling about looking at things on a table the candidates were giving away.
I like free.
It was a little book called "Not Yours to Give."
It was about Davy Crockett.
No matter what side of the fence you're on, you have to like Davy Crockett. If you don't, that's your problem.
But the book started off with the House taking up money for the widow of a distinguished Navy officer.
After several speeches, it was clear to see hearts had been softened and a vote was coming, and
it was all but certain the widow was to be well taken care of.
That's when Davy Crockett stood up and said -- And I condense these comments for time --
"Mr. speaker. I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this house, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living."
In this book Crockett also says " when Congress once begins to stretch its power beyond the limits of the constitution, there is no limit to it, and no security of the people.
Does that sound like what's going on today?
If this scene took place today in D.C., Congress would have given away the farm because that's how you get votes and make yourself look compassionate on TV.
These wise people back then knew the right thing was the title of this book.
"Not Yours To Give."
That's our problem now.
These folks in Washington see our money as theirs and are only looking as forward to the next election with no ramification of what this does to the nation long-term.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Preheat oven to 450 F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper, or spray each with cooking oil.
Measure all dry ingredients for dough into a large bowl. Mix together with a pastry blender or wooden spoon. Add cold margarine and cut in with a pastry blender (or two knives) until the margarine is in barely visible pieces. Make a well in the center of flour mixture, and pour in cold milk. Stir well to blend, then dump contents of bowl onto a well floured pastry mat or counter top. Gently knead 5 or 6 times until dough is no longer sticky and can be patted into a ball. Pat down dough, then roll out dough to a large 10" to 12" x 16" to 18" rectangle. Let rest five minutes or so while preparing filling.
For the filling, melt 1/4 c margarine; add brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing well. Spread cinnamon mixture evenly over dough. Sprinkle with blueberries, patting blueberries gently into the dough. Roll up dough from the bottom of the 18" side toward the top, pressing gently to maintain a tight roll. Completed roll will look like a long dough log. Cut dough into pinwheel slices approximately 1' thick and place each pinwheel on a parchment lined cookie sheet; place 8-10 pinwheels on each cookie sheet spacing out as much as possible.
Bake 450 F for 12 - 15 minutes, until lightly browned. While baking, create vanilla glaze if desired. To make glaze, add milk and vanilla to powdered sugar, and beat with a whip until a thin, smooth consistency is attained. Drizzle glaze in a zigzag pattern over cooled buns with a spoon.

Humming the familiar strains of Erik Satie's Gnossienne No.1 to himself, renowned film composer Jocelyn Thwaite steps in front of the 01.59 Paddington Express. As the only witness, Danny Lunt grabs the opportunity to live the life that the dead man no longer wants and that he always though he deserved -- if only he'd had the money. Told along the timeline preceding and following Jocelyn's death, The Price of Everything weaves the lives of these two men together and… (más)

Friday, May 17, was the last Denton High School chess club meeting of 2012-2013. Dr. Alexey Root announced that the June issue of Chess Life for Kids would feature a story on Denton High School chess club members at SuperNationals V. She also collected quotes for her upcoming Chess Life article. There was food and bughouse. An officers' meeting followed.
Dr. Alexey Root welcomed twenty four Newton Rayzor Elementary School students, one teacher, and four parent chaperones to Denton High School. The group visited 10 Denton High School chess club members. The Newton Rayzor students were divided into three groups of eight. Denton High School chess club members further divided the groups of eight into pairs (in the room that had 4 Denton HS students) or one group of four and two pairs (in the other two rooms). Topics taught by the Denton High School students included the two-rook checkmate, the one-queen checkmate, and how to prevent Scholar's Mate.
Mr. Fred Mueller, chess club sponsor, ran elections for next year's officers. For 2013-2014, officers will be President: Alex Elizalde. Vice President: Shawn Joss. Secretary: William Root. Treasurer: Vanessa Jimenez.
Dr. Alexey Root appointed instructional leaders (William, Luis, Alex) and their teams for next week's visit by Newton Rayzor elementary school chess club.
Within each room, the leader and an additional 3-4 Denton HS students will arrange two (or four) Newton Rayzor students around

William R. presented his last-round game from SuperNationals V. Pairs of students followed along on their boards as he showed the moves on the demonstration board (Smart Board). William halted the game at critical points so that the pairs could spend five minutes figuring out what happened next. Special visitor to the Denton High School chess club was Jonathan K., who had been part of Dr. Alexey Root's chess class at Strickland Middle School five years ago. Read, Write, Checkmate: Enrich Literacy with Chess Activities (Libraries Unlimited, 2009) features the work of Jonathan and his classmates. Now Jonathan is a freshman at Tarrant County College and has started a chess club there.
Austin showed the finale of his round 2 win (which he began showing last week) over a player rated between 1500 and 1600 USCF. Luis showed the first 20+ moves of his win over a 1595-rated player. Both Austin and Luis paused their games on the demonstration board at various points so that the others (following along on their chess boards) could analyze what they thought would happen next. Dr. Alexey Root discussed plans for the remaining meetings of the year (April 26, May 3, May 10, and May 17).
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination." -Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)

2012 Siduri Cargasacchi Pinot Noir SRH
"A drop-dead beauty, the 2012 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard is one of the most beautiful wines I have ever tasted from this site, where so often the wines are wild and animalistic. Some of those qualities are always part of Cargasacchi Pinots, but they are beautifully balanced by layers of sumptuous, generous, deeply expressive fruit. Yields were less than 1.5 tons per acre, which is tough for the bank account. Quality, though, is exceptional. This striking, beautiful Pinot is full of promise." – 92-94 Antonio Galloni's Vinous

I brewed a big ol' IPA for my sister in NJ, who I'm visiting next month. I thought it'd use a label...so I threw one together in paint.net and printed them out via MS Publisher. I think it turned out nice. What do you think?
Makes my mouth water just looking at those bad boys.
I played with it a bit, and I printed that one above out and slapped it on a bottle...I decided that it was the one. I like the idea of playing with type filters, though. Maybe for my next bottling attempt I'll drag out the photoshop.
Just remember that in many cases, less is more! Where in Jersey is your sis from, if you don't mind me asking. Just curious, I'm outside Philly.
She lives in Palmyra, Moms lives in Maple Shade. We're all from North Jersey originally. Should be a nice visit. I snagged a couple of UPS-approved 12 pack mailers from a buddy and I'll be sending out 12 of those and 12 of Beirmuncher's Centennial Blonde. Of course we'll be heading over to Philly and hitting up Jim's for some cheesesteaks, and I'll bring home a big log of pork roll.
Ah, Maple Shade and Palmyra - South Jerseyians like me now. Pork roll, lol... Enjoy your visit!

Hi, Everyone, My Mom needs to be careful with her neck, back and knees due to arthritis. I could use some ideas/advice on watering. She lives in a house on a slope, and she worries about how to keep the foundation watered to avoid cracks. She also has some beds. She's been using a system of soaker hoses for the foundation and sprinklers for the beds, but it seems like the soaker hoses always get clogged/stop working, and the sprinklers also seem to break after about a season. What works best for you? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Best I can advise is to look into getting plants that need a lot less water. It's a pretty tough situation. |

bomb making potential (204 comments)
Do they have this right? I thought the reason Carter went toward Thorium instead of Uranium/Plutonium was because U-233 only emitted 1.3 neutrons (on average) per fission vs U235's 1.9 and Pu239's 2.4. Note: these numbers are from memory over 30 years ago, and I've not been able to find the google in-can-ation that can confirm/correct the values. If anyone has the correct values, or the reasoning, please feel free to chime in.
Blame the victim (798 comments)
Yup, its just like rape victims years ago. YOU THE VICTIM must have provoked it. YOU THE VICTIM ARE THE CAUSE. I'm glad that rape victims are usually not blamed any more. I just hope in the future that bully victims are afforded the same. Unfortunately, in the 40 years since I was that victim, I see not much has changed.
Re:"extrusion"? (314 comments)
50k tons is indeed huge,
Huge isn't the word. The battleship USS New Jersey is 58,000 tons, Empty its 48K tons. Can you imagine bench pressing a battleship?
Re:Very amusing but... (314 comments)
It's marketing. And it's excellent marketing. Plausible risk has little to do with it, but it makes me want to invest in the company.
Its very good marketing, I can almost hear him saying "oh yeah, take that".
On the negative side, I bet there is some teenage brat "suffering" from Affluzenza who is going to drive this car off a cliff, and when he skins his knee he is going to get his daddy to sue the company for a billion or so dollars.
Re:indeed (314 comments)
Indeed it does; it makes me wonder why they don't make the Tesla S look more like a badass car and less like a family sedan.Wouldn't take much revision to have, say, a Tesla Se, that's got minor revisions ala body panels.
I have to wonder if they are going to do a "Mad Max" version of the Tesla
Re:"extrusion"? (314 comments)
Cost and strength. You can extrude something for a fraction of the cost of 3D printing or milling. You can even extrude titanium if you have a big enough press. (google "heavy press program" if you want to see some MONSTER presses.) Both extrusion and milling still have strength advantages over 3D printing. Where 3D printing shines is prototyping, small run, or fancy designs that are too difficult to extrude or cast or mill. But give it a few more years. The other methods have been around far longer, so we know how to do things well.
Re:Savvy (292 comments)
Well, "Lead" and "technically savvy" doesn't mean "doing the actual building." We're quite good giving money to china for building stuff. That SORTA fits the bill.
Yeah, how'd that Chinese moon rover work out for them, huh?
How many of our missions blew up on the launch pad or burned up in the atmosphere due to a conversion error or had mirrors ground to the wrong focal length? With every step you should learn something, even if its what not to do. To paraphrase Q: if your that afraid of risk you should go crawl under your bed and hide.
Re:Back to the moon? How? (292 comments)
Who needs a movie set when you can do everything CGI?
Re:Yeah, too bad there's no real reason to do so.. (292 comments)
No reason to go? Exploration, research, challenges and opportunities and technical advances that we can't even begin to articulate. We have not even begun to explore the moon. More men accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the New World than have landed on the moon. Even without men we can send dozens of missions to help iron out the details of new propulsion systems like ion or hall or vascimar. We can develop and deploy robotic probes with a far faster turn around time (and less need to gold plate everything) by doing the development on the moon instead of Mars. We can see the long term radiation effects on materials once they are outside of Earth's protective magnetic field. Put even a small observatory on the far side of the moon and you open up huge opportunities shielded from all the transmitters on Earth, and outside of Earth's atmosphere. I would put several at different spots to enable long baseline measurements as well as lessen the expense of triple redundant systems in case of failure.
And lastly, give this generation something to shoot for. Something other than the newest Angry Birds or social media app. Something to shoot for, to make history, to inspire a new generation like JFK's speech on going to the moon. It will happen. The question is, will they speak Chinese or American?
Re:Exposure .... (95 comments)
I'm not an expert in radio isotope absorption. But my understanding of the protective effects of potassium iodide is that it floods the body with iodide, thus lowering the odds that the radioactive version will be absorbed. My understanding of strontium-137 is that it is chemically similar to calcium, and therefore is absorbed when there is insufficient calcium. I read these theories in articles on Three Mile Island, so the research may be very old. If anyone has newer research I'd be interested.
Its good that they are checking the kids, and that the detectors are picking up the normal potassium exposure. Like it or not, they have become a laboratory on radiation exposure. Also I agree that the environmental and anti business people will be trying to scare everyone.
Re:until someone hacks it (216 comments)
I don't think I said doomed to failure or it will never work. When they start losing money or generating bad publicity, they will hopefully fix it. Microsoft comes to mind, as does Adobe, as does WEB going to WPA, as does the original cordless phone to something like DECT, as does the old blue boxing of phone booths to out of band signaling. Hopefully they will get it right the first time, but judging by the rest of the industries, they won't. Frankly I can't think of a single instance where someone did a good job right from the start. Can you?
Re:until someone hacks it (216 comments)
...and you need to keep control of that vehicle for a few weeks to get it into a friendly port for unloading, during which time (1) folks with guns are doing their best to find you, and (2) you have no hostages to use as bargaining chips if they do so.
That's an awfully high-risk venture to get the kind of talent you'd need to hijack control in the first place [stealing private keys used to encrypt/authenticate the control chanel, etc] to sign off on.
I do information security for a living. I've seen hundreds of products where security is left out because (a) they need to get it to market faster, (b) it would add a dollar to the cost, (c) security is the users' responsibility, (d) I can design security better than anyone else on the planet, or (e) I don't care. Go through the archives of comp.risks if you want a few examples. Read Schneider's blog if you want more. Read slashdot.org if you want more.
Now here is a fun one: man in the middle attack. Take over the boat, but keep sending "normal" conditions back to the owners.
Re:until someone hacks it (216 comments)
Support pylons of the Golden Gate Bridge, have several of them collide at the entrance to the Long Beach shipping terminal, blocking access for a few weeks, run over the deep water loading ports for crude oil. Run over a deep water drilling rig. I can think of any number of terrorist activities one could do. And remember, time and time again, no one really thinks of security until that "oh s___, we've been hacked" moment.
Except they could already do that with a manned vessel if it was at all feasible.
I'm not talking about boarding the vessel. I'm talking about hijacking the communications link and taking over the vessel. Then you could do it from anywhere in the world and have just about zero chance of getting caught.
Re:until someone hacks it (216 comments)
Waving assumes that you need to get on board to take control. How about hacking the communications link? Then you have the world's largest RC vehicle.

Re:Bad idea - use IMEI instead (341 comments)
Not exactly, you will be arresting those who buy the stolen property. But hey, after a while people will start to get the idea.
Go Speed Racer Go (144 comments)
Its amazing that technology and companies are finally catching up with the old Speed Racer cartoons.
Bad idea - use IMEI instead (341 comments)
Oh gee, our enemies are going to love this, the ability to nuke all the cells phones in the US at one shot. How much do you think a cracker could sell this exploit for?
Better solution: create a database of stolen IMEI numbers. In that way it can be reversed if/when the eventual screwup occurs.
Suspicious (375 comments)
Is anyone else suspicious of this announcement? Every article I can find is very vague on exactly how this is supposed to work. The one article I found that has a hint was it mentioning a filter with pores smaller than a water molecule. This infers they are extracting oxygen dissolved in the water. I wonder how much water one would need to pass through. Fish are cold blooded, and therefore have a lower metabolism than mammals. So we would need to filter a lot more water than a typical fish to make this work.

NEW DELHI: BJP on Tuesday appeared heading for a victory in the elections to all the three newly-formed municipal corporations of Delhi.
Of the 80 results declared by State Election Commission so far, BJP has bagged a total of 49 of 272 wards in all the three corporations while Congress has won 19 seats.
Eight Independents have also won, BSP 2 besides one each by JD(U) and INLD.
As per the trends available, BJP is leading in 130 wards out of the total 272 wards while Congress is ahead in 80 seats. Others, including BSP, is ahead 54 seats.
In South Delhi Corporation, BJP has won or is leading in as many as 43 out of the 104 wards while Congress was ahead in 32 seats. Interestingly, others are leading in 20 seats.
East Delhi Corporation is witnessing a close fight with BJP winning or leading in 28 seats while Congress is ahead in 23 seats.
In North Delhi Corporation, which has 104 seats, BJP is ahead in 59 seats while Congress is ahead in 25 seats. Others are leading 12 wards.
Stakes are high for both the national parties in the municipal polls, considered as a semi-final ahead of the Assembly elections next year.
In the 2007 polls to the undivided Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), BJP had bagged 36.17 per cent of the around 42.35 lakh votes polled while Congress got 29.17 per cent. BSP's vote share was 9.87 per cent.
BJP has 164 councillors in the undivided MCD against Congress' 67 and BSP's 17.
Congress sought to downplay the results with party spokesperson Rashid Alvi saying that MCD polls should be seen only as civic polls. BJP's M Venkaiah Naidu said BJP's good governance in MCD and Congress' corruption resulted in the good show of his party.
We see MCD polls as civic polls, nothing else: Congress
Congress sought to downplay the surge of BJP in the Delhi municipal elections saying it should be seen only as civic polls, while the saffron party said corruption and price rise helped them.
"Last time BJP had won the MCD polls but Congress came to power in Assembly. Congress even went on to win all the seven Parliament seats. MCD polls should be seen only as MCD polls," Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said.
BJP National Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu, however, said corruption and price rise were the main reasons for Congress' rout and his party's victory.
"It is a BJP win. Good governance of BJP in MCD polls, corruption by Congress and price rise are the three main issues for the rout of Congress party," Naidu said.

I love this little gun and caliber, it always works perfectly...
The problem is that sometimes I slack on evening carrying it because I know I'm printing a little.
I have a great CrossBreed Velcro lined belt and a CrossBreed Supertuck for it. Which I don't think I can improve on. I'm built at 6' 155lbs.
I've mostly been carrying it about my 5:00 position which works great standing but as soon as I lean on over the butt of the gun sticks out like a sore thumb, my shirt will go over the belt line etc.
Tried carrying it at 3:00 but didn't much like that either.
I really don't want to part ways with this little fellar as it works so good and I'm not going to be able to get anything easier to conceal unless it fits in my pocket. (requiring caliber reduction a no-no).
Anyone using a supertuck and a Walther PPS please chime in, how are you carrying? What position? What cant? Do you have the clips adjusted so the gun sits farther down your waist line or up higher on your back?
Any info would be much appreciated.

Ballard Fuel Cell Systems Prove 100% Reliable, Providing Backup Power During Hurricane Sandy
VANCOUVER, Nov. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP)(TSX: BLD) today announced that, during the difficult circumstances presented by Hurricane Sandy, the Company's ElectraGen™-ME methanol fuel cell systems performed exactly as designed, providing critical electricity to the Bahamas mobile telephone network when the storm downed power lines and cut off grid power.
Ballard's 17 ElectraGen™-ME systems, installed in the local telecom network, began operating automatically as grid power was lost when the storm hit October 25 th. During the 3 days that Hurricane Sandy passed over the Bahamas, each of the 5 kilowatt systems operated flawlessly as needed to maintain consistent power. As a group, the 17 systems provided the equivalent of one month of backup power over a concentrated 7 day period during and after the storm; producing more than 1,200 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Dr. Christopher Guzy, Ballard's Chief Technology Officer said, "Hurricane Sandy was a devastating event for a great many people. In times of emergency, backup systems have to be reliable. We are certainly pleased that our ElectraGen fuel cell systems kept the communications network up and running for people in the Bahamas when they most needed it."
The impact of Hurricane Sandy has been a further illustration of the importance of extended duration backup power capability for communication networks. For the over 347,000 residents of the Bahamas dealing with sustained winds of 80mph, up to 6 - 12 inches of rainfall accumulation and a storm surge 5 to 8 feet above normal ocean levels, continuous and reliable communications were critical.
In comparison to conventional backup power technologies, such as lead acid batteries and diesel generators, ElectraGen™ fuel cell systems ensure high reliability, low maintenance, service continuity over extended periods, as well as significant environmental benefits. The ElectraGen™-ME system includes a fuel reformer that converts HydroPlus™, a methanol-water liquid fuel mixture, into hydrogen gas that is used as a fuel feedstock for the fuel cell system. The only outputs from the fuel cell system are electrical power, heat and water. Further information regarding Ballard's comprehensive portfolio of backup power solutions is available on the Company's website at: http://www.ballard.com/backup_power About Ballard Power Systems Ballard Power Systems (TSX: BLD) (NASDAQ: BLDP) provides clean energy fuel cell products enabling optimized power systems for a range of applications.

BlackBerry Isn't a 10 for Investors
Maybe Nokia will release a new hot phone before the shopping season, but it appears the smart money is on RIM trying to sell yesterday's newspaper again this fall. Even if RIM's new phone is evergreen and remains popular, is it enough?
I don't think we can tell at this time. The BlackBerry 10 may fill the sails with air for now, but one-hit wonders won't keep the price of the stock moving from the bottom left to the upper right on a chart. You still may be able to buy RIM and make a buck or two, though.
RIM's shares are likely to spike higher during the week of BlackBerry 10's release. What may turn into the biggest catalyst for what may be a significant rise is short sellers and not the phone.
>>Also see: The Mobile Payments Revolution Is Here
About 30% of the float is sold short, based on the last report. Even if for only a short-lived boost higher, you have to anticipate upward price pressure like a soda after being shook up for over a year straight. As a result, shorting RIM here is filled with peril, but buying for an investment hold appears equally hazardous. The best play with RIM appears to be buying shares now, and closing out the position either the day before, day of, or day after RIM releases the new phone. This is a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news type of event. Just don't get caught up in the hoopla of the phone and believe it will last more than a month or two. Remember, it only took a short period of time for AT&T (T) to put the Lumia on sale (AT&T had an exclusive) after reporting they were selling out in many of the stores.

Rumours - Ashley Cole caught smoking and more
Published: 06 Jul 2010 - 10:09:17
Football.co.uk's Stevie Scandal delivers another round of rumours surrounding the world's biggest stars.
Today - Cashley on the fags, Ronaldo's baby mystery and more...
- - -
For the first time in what seems like an eternity I've finally got something other than Steven Gerrard and John Terry to tell you about.
The man you have to thank for that is Mr Ashley Cole, who has been living it up in Los Angeles after England's premature World Cup exit.
- Transfer News
Love cheat Cole, who split with pop princess Cheryl Cole earlier this year, was spotted chatting up a busty brunette at a beach party and then taking two girls home from a swanky LA nightclub.
And as if that wasn't enough he was also caught smoking a cheeky cigarette earlier in the day.
One suspects that Carlo Ancelotti might not be too pleased with Cashley's extra-curricular activities.
- - -
Sticking with the superstar gossip and the mystery surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's newborn baby continues to intensify.
Ronnie had said that the mother would remain anonymous and that he would be the sole guardian of the child but that hasn't stopped people digging for the truth.
- Transfer Gossip
The latest instalment is that the baby's mother is now believed to be either an American surrogate or a Danish Paris Hilton lookalike.
It is claimed that the Real Madrid star didn't want to share his millions with the mum after deciding he wanted a child.
One thing that is for sure is that the Portuguese front-man will be naming the boy when he returns home in a few days time.
My money's on Cristiano junior...
- - -
Moving away from the boys for a moment and ex-WAG Cheryl Tweedy is rumoured to have contracted malaria after a brief trip to Africa's East coast.
She took precautionary malaria tablets before jetting off but seems to have still been struck by a mild case of the disease after being bitten by a mosquito.
We wish her a quick recovery.
- FOOTBALL.CO.UK BLOGGER:Stevie Scandal
- While most football fans are sleeping off hangovers, Stevie Scandal is out trawling exclusive nightclubs and peering through the windows of mock tudor mansions in her stilettos to break the stories that really matter. No footballer is safe from Stevie's undercover operations. If it's scurrilous gossip and sizzling scandal you're after, Stevie's Football Rumours blog is your online China White's.

Flew Delta first class from Atlanta to San Francisco, quite possibly the worst flight crew ever, more interested in talking to each other than helping passengers, one flight crew tried to give my blazer to 2 separate passengers before it got to me, unacceptable when you pay to fly first. Cramped seating did not help matters either. A very unpleasant flight.
Rating : 1/10
Delta is extremely frustrating to deal with! We took a family vacation to Alaska. There were 8 of us and we had two stops each way. I reserved seats when I booked the flights. When I checked in online for every flight for all 8 of us I found that all of the seats had been changed for every flight! We were on a family vacation and I picked seats for a reason. The answer I got every time I called was that they switch planes a lot and the seats don't match. I can't imagine that all of the planes were changed! I hope that I never have to fly Delta again! They need to take lessons from Alaska and Southwest!
Rating : 5/10
Marked difference in quality and service between transatlantic and domestic flights, travelled Dublin to PDX and back via ATL and both transatlantic legs progressed well with excellent service and no delays, while both internal flights were delayed, onboard service was spotty at best and boarding was sheer pandemonium. I have never appreciated Ryanair more than after my first experience trying to board a domestic flight in the US.
Rating : 9/10
Short flight Shanghai to Narita. Very well done. 777 Business Elite has an odd layout, can't see out window even in window seat without craning neck. Other than that comfortable, nice breakfast and excellent professional crew. Bring that style to domestic flights and Delta will succeed.
Rating : 2/10
Delta 2366, JFK to MSP. Delayed for broken plane - we were in line to take off when they decided a broken panel light warranted fixing. We had no gate to return to at JFK so we went to the maintenance lot and were bussed back to the terminal. Had to wait for a new plane (another hour). Re-boarding pandemonium. Most frustrating was waiting another hour on the tarmac before taxi-ing await from gate for catering. this was around 11.30am. We got nothing to eat drink except one bottle of water. Arrived MSP around 12.30am. Pretty awful. Stewardesses standing around on their cell phone. Skip Delta if you have the chance.
Rating : 4/10
Flights in purchased domestic first class with changeover in Minneapolis. Lots of weather delays and was kept well informed and phone conversations with customer service were pleasant. The first three legs of the journey were nothing special. Notably, the quality of the product purchased was only that of a larger seat. Inflight service was casual at best and I would not call it friendly. We were tolerated and it kind of felt like we were an inconvenience. The last flight however, had a flight attendant who was service oriented and actually took care of the customer properly and a meal was served. To me this tells me that there is a quality issue at Delta. The inflight service product is not consistent.
Rating : 6/10
The CRJ 700 service from Halifax to La Guardia in New York is a quick 90 min hop. The economy seats are cramped, but they are on all the Canadair regional jets in economy class. I got my drink. I got my pretzels. And other than that, the flight was completely uneventful. This is when you realise, flying has become a complete commodity. Now how could we change that?
Rating : 8/10
This flight was in "Business Elite" between Austin, Texas, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, with an intermediate stop in Atlanta, Georgia. The outbound trip was in early February, 2014, and the return was in mid February, 2014. Measured against other US carriers international performance, Delta was exceptional. Measured against other international carriers, their comparative performance was, at the least, "competitive". Other than one sort of "rough around the edges" male flight attendant on the return trip, the entire experience was quite acceptable.
Rating : 7/10
Flew Mar 30, NRT to BKK. All flights were great. Flight was on-time and the in-flight entertainment was great. Apart from the meals - some Thai passengers cannot eat beef so the flight crews tried to ask other passengers who could eat beef and changed the meals around. We feel disappointed with their food services.
Rating : 0/10
Flight 2463 leaving West Palm Beach (PBI) at 2.42pm on June 15, arriving at New York LaGuardia (LGA) at 5.30pm. I was slated to take flight 3997 from LaGuardia to Pittsburgh (PIT) leaving at 6.59pm, arriving in Pittsburgh at 8.35pm. Every time I fly Delta I end up getting stuck in whatever airport my layover is for 12+ hours due to cancellations or delays. There is no attempt to accommodate me the customer with a hotel for the night, a partial refund or even a blanket or pillow for my extended stay in the airport.
Delta Website froze 4 times trying to set up flight to three different locations. Had to call and set up over the phone only to find out at the curb our flights were changed with no coumarin to us. My pregnant wife and I sat for over an hour (on the curb) for them to correct the error. We flew to our next location to find the same issue with boarding. We sat outside the line for a half hour while they tried to correct before the plane flew off. I spoke to Delta and they said because of the economy they are having issues. This does not explain why they couldn't send us an e-mail showing our flights changed with new boarding passes. The worst flying experience ever. They could care less about you even if you need special attention. Check baggage fees - Delta packs the plane and charges outrageous prices for additional bags.
I just returned from a round-trip First/Business Elite FLL-ATL-MUC-ATL-FLL trip. I really must say that all the flights were great. Every flight was on-time, the flight crews were exceptionally good, the in-flight entertainment was good, but could be improved, the meals were good and tasty. I only wish Delta would update its meal service and add some new items. Going over to MUC the man behind me even commented to the flight attendant, "Is it the usual?" It is always steak, chicken breast, pasta (no meat or fish - just pasta), and a cold plate. I've written to DL about adding fish, lamb, duck, etc. to the rotation. (They actually had lamb on the MUC-ATL flight!) Even flight attendants say that every time they have "fish" it is the most ordered by passengers. I guess Michelle Bernstein has run out of ideas. That is my only suggestion to improve things in Business Elite: Get more imaginative on the meal offerings! It really isn't that difficult.
Round-trip flight from Quito, Ecuador to Birmingham, Alabama with one stop in Atlanta. The check in process was difficult since we are foreigners trying to leave the country. Nothing against Delta. The delta gate agents went through 3 security procedures before we even lined up to go to the plane. I think it was the airport's rules. I flew a Delta 757-200 to Atlanta on a red-eye flight. We took off around 11.40 pm and we started flying over the Pacific Ocean. There was no personal entertainment on this type of aircraft so we were forced to watch a movie. They started serving "breakfast" around 1.20 am. "Breakfast" was a cold turkey and mayonnaise sandwich, fruit, and a brownie. They took they tray away and we did not eat anything else. Around 5.00 am we started our descent into Atlanta. The landing was smooth and we soon de-boarded and headed through immigration to board our next 56 min flight to Birmingham. Atlanta airport is very confusing as to where restaurants and lounges are. We boarded our MD88 to Birmingham. Since it was an hour flight, they should have served us something but the didn't. We landed in Birmingham smoothly.
Narita - Bangkok, June 13, Business Elite 747. Slight delay due to hold for other delayed inbound flights but all in all an excellent flight. Chief Purser was an experienced friendly (old school) gentleman who worked hard to insure good service. Seat was a comfortable lie flat pod offering more privacy than the first class American 777 I had just connected from. Decent food with even a light second offering before landing. Excellent entertainment options offered. I would certainly do this again.
Flight from NY La Guardia to Cleveland OH at 01.15am, email said flight would be delayed by 2 hours. Delayed our taxi to airport by 2 hours. Got to airport to find flight now cancelled but no email communication from Delta, no phone call just the pleasure of an extra 1.5 hours at the airport as they had rebooked us onto 3.20 flight. Staff no training in apologising to passengers for inconvenience - staff couldn't give a damn. Although travelling with my husband they couldn't be bothered to sit us together. So was the flight cancelled for bad weather? I don't think so. Too many additional reasons given eg staff not able to fly as on duty too long etc. We then discovered that the earlier flight had been cancelled too. Could this have been about consolidation. Advice don't travel with them if you can avoid them.
Originally I had a 2 hour layover. Delta changed our flights to a 4 hour layover. The plane now has been delayed another 20 minutes so my family of 6 and I are at the airport right now for a 4.5 hour layover. This is not acceptable, Delta should do something about this. Fly with an airline that cares. It's surely not Delta!
We flew paid business class fares in Delta's Business Elite, LAX to SYD, and SYD to LAX, in the forward B/E cabin on Delta's 777-200LR. We checked in using the kiosks in Delta's terminal and went through security quickly (we are both Global Entry/Precheck). The Delta SkyClub at LAX, which doubles as Delta's business class lounge, was crowded, noisy, and inferior in all respects to the business class lounges operated by other carriers to Australia we've flown on (ANZ and QF). For what it's worth, Delta uses the ANZ business class lounge in Sydney and in all respects it's superior to Delta's SkyClub. The flight was delayed. Despite Delta's explanations, the real reason for the constant late departures is that Sydney's airport operates under a curfew. It's the same problem coming back to LAX, as ICE/Customs don't start clearing baggage/passengers until 8am - resulting in people sitting on the plane for a fair amount of time following arrival. Once in the air, the flight itself was OK. The Delta flatbed seat on the 777-200 is adequate, but inferior to the seats on ANZ's 777 and the QF A380 - both of those airlines provide business class passengers with a mattress that is laid over the top of the seat when reclined. The meal service both directions was in all respects inferior to business class meal services on ANZ, QF, and CX. The portions are tiny and the food itself is mediocre. The cabin crew LAX to SYD was OK, but the crew returning SYD- LAX was disorganized, distracted, and not terribly personable. Delta's AVOD system on its 777 aircraft is antiquated. The pop-out monitors will not stay upright - many passengers around us had this problem. The moving map and flight information displays need to be updated. The headphones provided by Delta are supposed to be noise cancelling but don't work well (we both use Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones, so it really didn't matter). Given the cost of business class tickets, and all things being equal, the only thing Delta has going for it on its 777 service to/from SYD is the privacy and relative quiet of its herringbone seating arrangement. Otherwise, based on any other criteria you choose to use, Delta's product is inferior compared to the other carriers we have flown on to/from Australia and New Zealand (ANZ, QF, and CX). We can't recommend Delta for business class to/from Sydney.
I flew from Heathrow to Seattle. To be honest, I was dreading the flight as I had read some really bad reviews of Delta. But it was excellent. The seat back screens were the biggest I have seen in Economy - with a great selection of films, TV shows and music. The food, whilst being obviously "airline food" was nice enough and lots of it. They listed only one meal - lunch - on the website but they served two more rounds of snacks throughout the flight - an ok sandwich and a really nice calzone. The staff were really friendly as well. Again, I was dreading the service as a lot of other reviews mentioned their bad attitude. But the ones on my flight were lovely. Not sure if this is a sign of better things to come from Delta, or by the fact that the route is brand new for them, but it was a great flight.
Rating : 10/10
I was a bit stubborn about flying Delta for the first time since I'm a fan of Frontier and I don't fly very often about once every three to four years. I took flight 1531 from MSP to BWI and I was very impressed. We left on time and the crew was friendly. After this experience, I am very eager to fly Delta again.
JFK-LHR. Had a great on time flight out of JFK with Delta. I found the service friendly and food was great. Constantly coming through the cabin with refreshments, certainly not dehydrated at the end of the flight. Only criticism was when we were coming in to land into London, the cabin crew did not ask passengers to raise their closed window blinds, which made me feel a little unsafe sitting in the middle seats, as I couldn't see what was going on outside during landing. The flight attendant told me after it's not US policy to raise the window blinds, Delta why not just make it part of your safety policy. Would fly them again.
My wife and I fly frequently and over the last couple of years have found ourselves on Delta a couple of times. Each of the prior trips found delays, once missing a connecting flight due directly to the incompetence of Delta personnel. I wrote this off I. The past, but today is the final straw. We flew from San Antonio to Atlanta to catch a connecting flight to Milan for a long awaited vacation. As we were boarding the 767 in Atlanta, I noticed the port engine nacelle was open. Once we were buckled in the captain announced that maintenance was waiting on a part and it would take up to an hour to depart. An hour goes by and they have the part, but they can't get it installed. Another hour goes by. They're still trying to fix it. More excuses, more delays. Never again, Delta, this was strike three!
Premium Economy
DL 1134, PBI-ATL. Great ground experience. Inbound flight late, prior to equipment arrival, gate agents asked for volunteers to check baggage at no charge to destination to speed up boarding and ease overheads. Turn around was 25 minutes gate arrival-departure. Plane was clean, crew greeted boarding passengers with genuine smiles. They assisted loading overheads with no attitude. In flight, they chatted with passengers. Crew even made the cart in aisle/trip to lav a pleasant game of I move/you move. I was in a time warp. Flying was fun. Three more flights on Delta that week were routine, but what an experience this one flight was.

Just finished planting 8 little limes and wonder, since they are Paniculatas, whether I need to cut them back this first winter to 4-6 inches, as with other Paniculatas, or to let them get a year under their belt first. I'm in Atlanta.
Bill |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't see any benefit to pruning such young plants. Paniculatas are tolerant of heavy pruning since they bloom on new wood, but that doesn't mean pruning is required. It is not necessary to prune them every year, but you will want to prune out crossing branches and those that do not add anything to good shape. I prune in early Spring just as the new growth buds are beginning to swell - after winter when I can seem them, I cut back to a pair of strong buds to shape and control the overall size. |
When pruning little lime hydrangea, do you cut the stem on an angle above a bud or just straight across? |
Rose pruners tend to cut at an angle (45 degrees) but with hydrangeas, I just prune so the cut does not let water accumulate on top of the pruned part. |
Great, that makes perfectly good sense to me. Thanks Luis. |
