From Swiss horn music to mountain goats, the climb up Mount Pilatus is peppered with surprises
One warm, summer night, by a picture-window near Lake Lucerne, I saw the moon peep shyly from behind a steel-blue hill. It climbed swiftly up a clear, star-sewn sky, hanging there, like a disc of creamy white chocolate. I ran to fetch my camera, trying to frame it with the purple hills, the lake, the moon's reflection — a quivering pool of gold, when a party boat obligingly moved into the frame. Ah, Switzerland, I remember thinking, the only country where everything works in your favour and makes your holiday nothing short of perfect.
It was with those charitable thoughts that we set out the next day — a scorcher of a day, when Lucerne sizzled under a white sun — to Mount Pilatus. A leisurely ferry ride along Lake Lucerne took us to Alpnachstad, from where the world's steepest cogwheel railway was to pull us up, one tooth at a time, to 2,132 mt above sea-level. It took us about 30 minutes to make that ascent; and the ride was — pardon the frightfully overused word — awesome. Sitting back (which, because of the incline, we truly were) in the fire-engine-red rail-cars, it took a few moments to get used to the not-entirely-unpleasant sensation of being hauled at inclines of 38 to 48 per cent gradient. As the rail-car progressed upwards steadily, dense pine forests scented the air and coal-black tunnels made us whoop; in the distance, rocky mountain tops tapered into sharp, craggy summits, while nearby, it was all lawn-smooth grassy knolls. All along, cows politely stood a few feet from the track, heads bent, bells tinkling, jaws clamping on the fresh, green pastures, making me dream of lusciously smooth Lindt bars…
No sooner had the rail-car pulled into the squat Pilatus-Kulm station, than a long, low sound, carried on the back of a deliciously cool breeze greeted us. In any other setting, the Swiss horn (Alpine Horn) would've overwhelmed the listener, but on Pilatus, where the massive mountains were tamed with shawls of mist, where sharp rocks and the soft backs of the cows sat side-by-side, where the sky was a patch-work quilt of grey, white and blue, it struck just the right achingly, beautiful note.
Mist swirls in
There was, of course, much to do at Mount Pilatus beyond the obvious 'striking pretty poses, with great, wrinkly mountains in the background'. There were the obligatory restaurants and inviting, bright-red deck-chairs; some tourists simply lay in a stupor, others grabbed ice creams and cooled off with the views.
We headed for the caves, a labyrinthine path scooped out of hard-rock, where the velvety darkness presented just the spooky atmosphere to showcase the legends about Mount Pilatus.
The mist had, by then, swirled in. We watched it gather here, thin there, teasing us with tantalising views one minute and frustrating us with an opaque wall the very next. The plains, several thousand feet below, were pin-pricked with dwellings; the rail-track was crawling with the red caterpillar-like rail-cars; and the air was rich with the rustling of the wind, the harsh cries of the Alpine birds, and the musical tinkling of cow bells.
It was the cow bells that drew us into the 'flower trail'. We followed the rocky cliff-face, on a level, cemented path, from Pilatus Kulm towards Tomlishorn (a peak nearby). Now this was supposedly a half-hour's trek; but I really wonder if they had factored in the 'pause-to-smell-the-flowers' (or read their exotic names — the likes of Fairy fox gloves, Alpine Kidney vetch…) in their calculation. Or, even, admiring the views; and the cows, which, somewhere deep down in the valley, were busy shaking their heads, setting off their bells, making us feel we were walking into a prayer meeting…
We never completed that walk though, all thanks to a wild mountain goat. The Ibex (which is what they're called in these parts) startled me by climbing down a sheer, rocky cliff-face, with a delicate grace and surefootedness that shocked and awed in equal measure. Trying to get the husband's attention, I was surprised to find him helpfully sorting out office issues over the mobile phone. I don't think the Ibex approved of it because, after desultorily plucking at some plants, it disappeared into the valley.
Why, I asked myself, when the enchanted spell was broken and we irritatedly turned back, must there be crystal-clear mobile phone reception in one of the most beautiful mountain tops in the country? But then, isn't that the price — and a small one — you pay for Switzerland's penchant for perfection?

Kass: 15 Surprises for 2011
This blog post originally appeared on RealMoney Silver on Dec. 27 at 10:28 a.m. EST.
"Never make predictions, especially about the future."There are five lessons I have learned since my first surprise list for 2003:-- Casey Stengel
- how wrong conventional wisdom can be;
- that uncertainty will persist;
- to expect the unexpected;
- that the occurrence of Black Swan events are growing in frequency; and
- with rapidly changing conditions, investors can't change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails (and our portfolios) in an attempt to reach our destination of good investment returns.
Importantly, my surprises are not intended to be predictions but rather events that have a reasonable chance of occurring despite being at odds with the consensus.
I call these "possible improbable" events. In sports, betting my surprises would be called an "overlay," a term commonly used when the odds on a proposition are in favor of the bettor rather than the house. The real purpose of this endeavor is to consider positioning a portion of my portfolio in accordance with outlier events, with the potential for large payoffs. Since the mid-1990s, the quality of Wall Street research has deteriorated in quantity and quality (due to competition for human capital at hedge funds, brokerage industry consolidation and former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer-initiated reforms) and remains, more than ever, maintenance-oriented, conventional and groupthink (or groupstink, as I prefer to call it). Mainstream and consensus expectations are just that, and in most cases, they are deeply imbedded into today's stock prices. It has been said that if life were predictable, it would cease to be life, so if I succeed in making you think (and possibly position) for outlier events, then my endeavor has been worthwhile. My annual exercise recognizes that over the course of time, conventional wisdom is often wrong. As a society (and as investors), we are consistently bamboozled by appearance and consensus. Too often we are played as suckers as we just accept the trend, momentum and/or the superficial as certain truth without a shred of criticism. Just look at those who bought into the success of Enron, Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, the heroic home run production of steroid-laced Major League Baseball players Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, the financial supermarket concept at what was once the largest money center bank ( Citigroup (C - Get Report)), the uninterrupted profit growth at Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), housing's new paradigm of noncyclical growth and ever-rising home prices, the uncompromising principles of Spitzer, the morality of other politicians (e.g., John Edwards, John Ensign and Larry Craig), the consistency of Bernie Madoff's investment returns (and those of other hucksters) and the clean-cut image of Tiger Woods.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:About the size of a Brazil nut, its metal with plastic black part. Nice and solid. Suits my grey bike well. Was thinking of getting a contrast colour to the bike but grey/silver was a good choice.
Cons:Non really I can think of. Maybe the black part could have been made of metal to give it a stronger feel.
OtherThoughts:Spend the 2.20 on a nice addition to your bike or car but it would be more noticeable on a bike.
Bottomline:It is a nice addition to my bike and people have commented on how nice it is and how it is nice to see subtle differences on a bike.

the staff, the location.
the continental breakfast could have been a little bit better, but it wasn't too bad. I got put in a smoking room so everything I took smells like smoke, but that was probably my fault for showing up before the 3:00 check in (which is a strict policy)
3:00 check in, so don't really expect to have a room ready before then. Very nice staff, fairly close location, slightly weak continental breakfast, cool pools although it was too cold to use them when I was there, pretty clean. There was a brand new TV in my room. Comfortable pillows but thin blankets (which is alright if you know what temperature to put the thermostat at).

Jul 16 - Study: Viewers turning to YouTube as news source |
topic by phantomnation - 07-16-2012, 10:41 AM
[picture /join BX to view] NEW YORK (AP) -- A new study has found that YouTube is emerging as a major platform for news, one to which viewers increasingly turn for eyewitness videos in times of major events and natural disasters. The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism on Monday released their examination of 15 months of the most popular news videos on the Google Inc.-owned site. It found that while viewership for TV news still easily outpaces those consuming news on YouTube, the video-sharing site is a growing digital environment where professional journalism mingles with citizen content. "There's a new form of video journalism on this platform," said Amy Mitchell, deputy director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. "It's a form in which the relationship between news organizations and citizens is more dynamic and more multiverse than we've seen in most other platforms before." More than a third of the most-watched videos came from citizens. Than more half came from news organizations, but footage in those videos sometimes incorporated footage shot by YouTube users. The Japanese earthquake and tsunami was the most-viewed news event during the length of the study, which spanned January 2011 to March 2012. The top videos from Japan included footage from surveillance cameras, a news network and a Japanese Coast Guard vessel - a typical variety of sources. Such dramatic events were often among the most watched videos. Other popular news events included the Russian elections, unrest in the Middle East, the collapse of a fair stage in Indiana and the crash of an Italian cruise ship. "One of the things that emerges here is the power of bearing witness as a part of a news consumption process," said Mitchell. "Many of the most viewed stories that we're looking at here have real powerful imagery around them." The results depicted both reasons for concern and encouragement for traditional news outlets. While citizen journalism accounts for a large slice of viewership on YouTube, its users are also eager distributers of professional news video. The study shows YouTube as a global news arena where professional and amateur video bleed together, and is made consumable in on-demand style. That kind of atmosphere also makes for issues of authenticity. Though YouTube has guidelines for news video, they aren't always followed and some videos go viral despite uncertain sources. "This is a young platform and there're certainly aspects of this interplay and the way information is going to flow that's still being worked out," said Mitchell. A relatively nascent new organization, Russia Today, a network founded in 2005 and backed by the Russian government that often reports rumor, had easily the most videos among the most-viewed. The second most-viewed news organization among the top videos was Fox News, although the study pointed out that more than half of those videos were posted in criticism of the network Source: AP |

Glass Candy
Fri, September 13, 2013
Doors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm
Terminal 5
New York, NY
This event is all ages
http://www.terminal5nyc.com/event/306587/Glass Candy
Constantly evolving, Glass Candy have travelled from bare bones stripped down disco rock to equal parts digital and analogue, to synthesizer/drum machine with a side of bass and live drums, to Italo Disco. Born in Portland in the late 90's, the current line up is Ida No on vocals and Johnny Jewel on synths, guitar, and production. They rose to prominence through hugely successful releases on Italians Do It Better, the label started between Johnny Jewel and Mike Simonetti.
Chromatics are the reflection on the dark side of the street. With Night Drive, they were barely there but they seemed to weigh a ton. Beautiful vocals giving life to city phrases, rhythms that keep everyone moving but not quickly enough to miss the crash. There are times when you can't listen anymore to them because it hurts too much, and then you press play again. There's an intimate distance to their music, with just enough separation that you don't really know what's going on.
Chromatics' new album, Kill For Love, was released March 26, 2012.

Kate Hudson wowed in Versace last night on the blue carpet at the LA premiere of Something Borrowed. She headed to the West Coast shortly after wearing a gold Stella McCartney number to Monday night's big Costume Institute Gala in NYC, where her costar, Ginnifer Goodwin, ranked among your Met Ball best dressed in green Topshop. The ladies shared the spotlight yesterday with their leading men, John Krasinski and Colin Egglesfield. John was back in Hollywood following some jet-setting of his own, as he spent the weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan visiting wife Emily Blunt on the set of her Jason Segel-penned new movie Five Year Engagement. John spoke to us before heading into the screening not about life as a husband, but about his excitement at being in the film's sequel and a part of such a well-loved book series. Kate and Ginnifer, both engaged to be married themselves, shared about being in love. Ginnifer revealed that she and Kate have been trading wedding tips, while Kate says she's just enjoying being so happy at the moment. Stay tuned later to see more from the event on PopSugar Rush!

Ecology And Environment, Inc., Fourth Quarter And Year-to-Date Earnings Down Vs. Last Year
LANCASTER, N.Y., Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ecology and Environment, Inc., ("E&E" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:EEI) reported a consolidated net loss of $3.8 million or $.90 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, an increase of $2.9 million from the net loss of $0.9 million or $.23 per share reported in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The net loss for the fourth quarter increased $3.4 million from the loss of $0.4 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. Consolidated revenues of $29.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 decreased $7.2 million or 19% from the $36.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
For the full fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $2.1 million or $.50 per share, which was down $2.9 million from net income of $0.8 million reported for the prior fiscal year. Consolidated revenues for fiscal year 2013 were $134.9 million, a decrease of $20.5 million or 13% from the $155.4 million reported in fiscal year 2012.
Domestic revenue for fiscal year 2013 decreased 7% from the prior year. During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, a stagnant U.S. economy significantly inhibited the Company's ability to grow or to replace expiring projects in certain market sectors which historically have been integral to our business, such as energy transmission, mining and governments.
Foreign revenue for fiscal year 2013 decreased 24% from the prior year. During fiscal years prior to 2013, the Company identified opportunities to expand in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Over that same period however, we experienced significant collection risks and incremental related operating costs that may have outweighed the benefits of operating within these markets. As a result, the Company experienced significant volatility in its earnings during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, primarily resulting from contract adjustments that are recorded as adjustments to revenue.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Just made this game today in the spirit of pico day. Took under an hour! :P, happy birthday Tom!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
After reading the description and stuff, I can see why it's so bad. Though I think it has some potential if you work on it. Like...the balls will go through the paddle at times. Not kosh. Cool concept though, as always.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
One Hour?!?!
I know that it was only an hour's work, and I appreciate that it is in the spirit of Pico day, but unfortunately it isn't exactly a fun game. In future, work beforehand so that when you want upload a game for a certain date, it can still be good.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Needs a score system, but I like the idea of giant pong protecting the city from giant snowflakes?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When a man battles Darth Vader, Nazis and other evil-doers for work, what does he do for fun? Harrison Ford finds his answer in a pilot's license and the freedom to take to the skies.
By Irene Klotz CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - A U.S. space probe slipped into orbit around Ceres, a miniature planet beyond Mars believed to be left over from the formation of the solar system, NASA said on Friday. Launched in 2007, the Dawn spacecraft made a 14-month tour of the asteroid Vesta before steering itself toward Ceres, the largest body in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Dawn shifted its path to allow itself to be captured by Ceres' gravity at 7:39 a.m. EST, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a dwarf planet.

A divided US Supreme Court is upholding Michigan's voter-approved ban on using race as a factor in admitting students to state universities. The High Court stressed it is NOT ruling on the merits of Affirmative Action policies, but instead affirming the right of voters to amend a state's constitution. The Michigan case stems from a challenge to a ballot referendum launched by Jennifer Gratz, who sued the University of Michigan in 1997 after she was denied admission to the school. WDET's Quinn Klinefelter talked with Gratz while she was standing on the steps of the Supreme Court moments after the ruling was handed down…

Through May 8, the planet of communication, Mercury, is visiting your work and health zone. You'll feel this change as your brain shifts gears from love to getting things done and taking better care of yourself. Sure, it may feel selfish but it's necessary.
The messenger planet has left your domestic zone and is taking up residence in your love and creativity sector through May 8. You'll be wonderfully mentally preoccupied with all-things pleasurable and romantic now. Instead of worrying over family debacles, you can happily turn your attention to your love life.
The god of communication has shifted out of your chatterbox into your domestic zone, Capricorn. This means your gadgets and correspondence piles may begin to soften while home issues take over your mental space. Now is an excellent time for those heart-to heart-talks with family.
Mercury, the god of chatter, has jumped from your financial arena to your communication zone until May 8. Expect your level of conversations, emails, texts and other such correspondence to hit a sudden surge of activity now. Good luck getting your mind to slow down or power off.
The communication planet has moved out of your stars after a long and confusing haul, dear Pisces. Now through May 8, you have the opportunity to focus more on grounding than the constant barrage of self-reflective-if-not-paranoid thoughts of the past month coming off that crazy Mercury Retrograde in your sign.

We need to support redirects, probably through a new RedirectAgent class.

I've made a first implementation of RedirectAgent in the branch, but I think I need some feedback.
The implementation is fairly strict (treating 301 and 302 as 307). I'm returning a fair number of ResponseFailed, which I modified to include the response in case the redirect responsibility is given to the caller. Other than that I'm handling redirect limit rather easily.
I've also been wondering about keeping track of 301 to not query it the second time the same agent gets a request againts a permanently redirected URI.
comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by exarkun
How does the branch handle redirect responses on requests that include bodies?
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by therve
For now, the branch ignores the body on the subsequent request after redirect (ie, pass the body the first time, and pass None afterwards). I failed to find something in the RFC about it.
comment:6 Changed 4 years ago by therve
Actually, I implemented that:
The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD.
IE, the redirected request will only ever be HEAD or GET, so won't contain a body.

comment:8 Changed 4 years ago by exarkun
- twisted.web.client.RedirectLimitReached looks like it means the same thing as twisted.web.error.InfiniteRedirection. InfiniteRedirection looks like it offers some nice attributes, too. Can we avoid introducing the latter and just re-use the former?
- Likewise for client.NoAutomaticRedirect / error.PageRedirect.
- The other new exception type, RedirectWithNoLocation, should probably be defined in twisted.web.error as well.
- twisted.web.http defines symbolic names for 301, 302, 303, 307 - use those instead of the literal integers in _handleResponse.
I didn't get a chance to finish this, I'll try to look again soon if no one else beats me to it.

Okay, I suppose I did mostly finish. The only other points are that the news fragment is missing and that the http client howto should be updated with an example for RedirectAgent. :)
comment:10 Changed 4 years ago by therve
Almost there, just need to update the documentation.

Everything handled, I think.

Looks good to me. The tests could perhaps use the response code mnemonics instead of the literal codes (we have them all defined in twisted.web.http I believe). However, it's low level code for the handling of particular response codes, so having the literal values doesn't bother me too much. Up to you.
Buildbot likes it. Please merge when you're happy with it.
comment:13 Changed 4 years ago by therve
I wondered about the tests. But for example we're using 200 almost everywhere, so I don't think using the literal values is that bad. Thanks!
