1. Heavy frost up north
"Éowyn? Éowyn!" A hesitation- "M'Lady, rather,"
I looked out just as Merry nearly bowled into my waist.
"What is it, friend hobytla?"
"Well," he said; suddenly uncomfortable, it seemed. "If you've got a minute to spare-"
I groaned.
"I have far too many idle minutes, Merry."
"Then please would you come over and see owd Farri- um, his, his Stewardship; I mean, I think you might be better with this than me,"
Oh. It was the way he phrased it that gave me some guess as to why he sought me. Suddenly, at the thought of employment to relieve my boredom, I ached to have not spoken thus; I wished to return to my bed as per royal instruction (expired, sadly, but surely still viable)- I did not want to relieve my agonising ennui just yet.
"Please, m'lady? Éowyn?"
"Oh, very well."
"I wouldn't ask," Merry shuffled his woolly feet, near as big as my own. "But…well…"
"Why do you ask me then?" I said, as I went out into the passageway. "Because I am a woman?"
"Because I think you must have seen by now that much is what a woman is supposed to excel in is as mysterious to me as to you. I'faith, I did see you and your kinsman speak together- I barely can speak thus,"
"Yes, but, Éowyn, he's my cousin- I mean, I ask you because- well, you know his Stewardship better than me, you've been more involved with him than me- I mean the two of you are… are…"
"I warn you… choose your words carefully, Merry"
"You're… look I know that there's- the two of you- you've gotten involved with each other, that's all I'm gunna say. And I think he'd like it if he could see you, now,"
There was no answer for that, so I went without giving him one.
Invovled, I thought; it sounded innocuous enough, didn't it? Maids said it like it was something blissful- involved with each other, like they were proud, though I didn't see how it was anything to be proud of, those things that you got sucked up in whether you liked it or not, as if involved could happen some other way than being bundled together and forever stuck with one another's petty concerns, all I had wanted was a horse and arms or at the least a change of room and somehow I got involved, of course there were enough busybodies and gossips and ambitious toads who did aspire to be involved so they could say I'm involved I ought to know all about it, oh yes.
I hesitated; I had had an idea of what Merry had been telling me, but how exactly it had manifested itself I did not know. And what was I to do, then! Something that was not quite fear but worse than nervousness swelled and twisted low in my belly, which didn't help. Was I to see the Steward weeping? I could not imagine him weeping, hang though tears might seem to barely behind his eyes at times, surely he had not it in him to weep, yes I had seen my uncle and my cousin and Éomer weeping just as I had seen them roaring with laughter and shouting- the Steward had been a Captain, surely he had shouted from time to time? I feared if ever he laughed so that he roared with laughter as men do when it comes right from deep in their belly, for sure it would blast his slender frame apart? Ah, me; there was no way now but onward.
When I looked, it seemed that now I had finally arrived the worst was over; though something, something had happened, else what had become of that tall man with his quiet and courteous ways, his even model of manners, the living oil-and-canvas picture that had lead me in the solemn dance we made about the gardens, when it was time to give this lady her airing? What hurricane could have brought him onto his knees, bent near double, his face in his hands, what could have blasted his courtesy so that he did not raise his eyes?
The table on which he had come to lay the papers that he worked on, worked on even in this house, had been flung over, its neat edge-matched piles run to snow, snow such as makes all the land another world entirely. What did one do?
One should kneel lay a cool hand to the wet and fevered cheek and cup the man's face in gentle hands as the torrent of tears slows to a trickle and though the grief cannot be assuaged weeks of agony shall have their release and shame shall surrender to a binding tie as one shares in the victim's weeping ad infinatum o maid ad nauseam, indeed, but what did one do when the man was solid and real, and one's hand was ungentle, and one did not bear tender love in one's heart, not for him, not for him?
As such I was, so as such I did but kneel before him, and gaze stupidly upon him; I could not cup his face in a Shieldmaiden's hand, how could I? I could but lay it upon his shoulder, and that I did do, and he did raise his head to me; he was not weeping, no, he had been, his face was smirched and the skin about his eyes was flushed and swollen; and he saw me, and he sighed, and I think his lips did turn up at the corners. He said:
"Ah, my Lady," he said, he said: "You try to find comfort in daily things, try to keep busy, so you forget," (I? I? What daily busy things was I doing?) "But then sometimes…" He sighed and he flipped up his eyes, he cast his hands wide. "I suppose you have heard of the fate of my father?"
"I have heard that story, yes," I said. I had heard it, had seen in my mind that carven ivory flesh flare, sear, the mouth open in a scream to which there could be no answer, the face melt away, the open bones blacken til they crumbled away to nothing.
Another sigh, rattley this time.
"It seems everyone has, even strangers to whom one would not have thought rumour would have yet put out her branches; til only Faramir should be ignorant."
"Well, you know how they seek in this house to keep their prisoners subdued."
"Ah, Lady Shieldarm," he said. "They have not yet broken you, though, I see." And at that he laid his hand on my arm, and his eyes looked into mine, two pebbles in a stream; enigmatic, they call it, the way he looked; why must this man be enigmatic when the world was incoherent enough? He said: "Would that it be from time to time I had your tongue that I might make known my heart! But no, passion melts to verses, fury to endless speculation, ere the sword is even sheathed. Would it be at times I had as pure and bare a manner as yours!"
He looked about the paper-snowy room. "They told me of the true fate of my father but half an hour from now," he said; I saw his head droop, the trickle of water edging its way back into its course upon his cheek. He wept!
Had I a broadsword or dagger I would have plunged it into the man that knelt weeping before me, cleaving his bones after all his even 'my lady's, all his learning of the tongues of men and elves, all his courtesy and kindness and gentleness, for his enigamaticness when he seemed to know me better than any had before from the first, for all his handsomeness so odd in a man so courteous and gentle- I would have cloven him apart across the ribs and neck that this man who seemed to me as a painted figure should weep, and that I should be involved when he did, oh that that hansomeness that I did not see should be cut to pieces, oh that that feeling I thought this man could not bear could be stopped, stopped, my error rinsed away by his blood! What did it matter, in these days as the end of all things drew near?
He wept! He wept! My friend so warm and kind and gentle, my friend I was so lucky to have, my friend who told me I was beautiful beyond elven tongues to tell, who spoke of how he would not loose me now I was beside him, my friend far better to me than I deserved, that I had become so involved with, yes, he wept!
Oh, I would not grieve with him, I would not grieve with him, a porcelain man- Oh why did he not beat me and rip me up with his hands flesh torn from sinew that I did not grieve with him? What did it matter, what did it matter, as we waited for the end of all things, if he killed me? Why should he not do so? What was to do? What could ungentle Éowyn do? I put my hand on his. He raised his face to me; well what was I to do? Of course- to lay my hand to his cheek, which I did. Foolish Éowyn, she got it wrong, didn't she? She cupped his cheek in her hand and murmured soft words, yes, but how long was it before she was stroking not his cheek but his beard, foolish girl, as if he were a dog; well it seemed to soothe him, stroking his dark beard that was not as spiky as I had feared; and then my thumb that had been stroking the hair of his lip transpired to be stroking his mouth, that was not the way, I knew, but he stopped crying for me, so why should I not put my fingers to that soft pink mouth, well maybe I knew why when he caught them and he kissed them- how could a kiss be so much softer and at once so much firmer than all the other kisses of my uncle and brother and cousin? Oh yes he had embraced me, well was that not what I had come for, for to take him in my arms? And if he pushed his fingers into my hair, well then I was doing the same to him; it was no harm was it not? For he was not my love, no, I was in love with Lord Aragorn, what did it matter that I should embrace a friend so, it did not change my love for another; only by unwilling accident had I become involved here, it was not for long, as we waited for the end of all things, and clung to each other against the cold blowing from the open tomb, what did it mean, as I did not will it and did not intend it, for I loved a man far away, though he would never love me in return, and did not look for my mouth to become involved with another; my love would never love me, so how could I be inconstant to him, for I did not love this man who held me so close to him, I had been told a thousand times in my youth that love was not the same as desire, it was not love, the mere pleasure that was coursing through me, it had just been circumstance of being caught together in our similar state, that we had got involved with each other, involved at the mouth, that tongues had got involved; caught up together, wrapped up against the chill of the descending shadows within and without, why I did but pity this man, yes, I pitied him; and I would show him some tenderness, for it did grieve me, as one would cut off locks of one's hair for the dead, so I would show him, I would make some gesture of my sorrow for him, yes, for I would to share that pain by involving myself with it, yes I would, I would make him a gift, a gift of my calf exposed to him as we knelt together and laid in his hand, so that it might comfort him to hold it, and it did, there, at the end of all things, I could comfort this man, this good man, this virtuous man, who would be comforted by my beauties, yes, it was pity upon him that I gave the skin of my leg to his touch, for he would treasure it much more than Lord Aragorn ever would; at the end of all things, what did it matter, if hands became involved so, tongues, thighs, breasts became involved, as we were caught together, involved at the groin, hard to get much more involved than that- Mayhap it was just as all well that the end of all things was nigh.
Poor man- why did he look at me so- all as he panted against me?- it was not men who feared lying with women- why that look of panic?- for he did not stop gasping and whimpering- no, he kept on prodding me so- prodding?- there were more words, I knew- to lie with another- to take another- to give one's body to another- to give body to another- to make love- to rut- to copulate- to know another- to have relations- to swive- to be intimate- were we intimate then?- hard to tell, really- yet how could we not be?- we who were caught together- in the end of all things?- and such as we were- no wonder those words failed- not one of them fired me- made me awake to something real- made it seem that all was changed-
(virginity is not to be maintained for itself but to make sure that the male is the father of the female's offspring. it is about the engendering of rightful heirs. with such large properties at stake no male will bond with a woman of doubtful morality. a woman who agrees to consummation before marriage shows her low principles to her lover. he will never be sure she will not succumb to another if her infatuation with her own husband slackens. thus the male will doubt that his heirs are his rightful body heirs… Honour is the principle why both will not succumb. honourable Faramir will not induce Eowyn to consummation and honourable Eowyn will not entice him to more than chaste kisses and fondling.)
no, no, at the end of all things, what could be changed that would have been otherwise the same? What would have been the same without the shuddering in the loins and the warmth and trickling, if I still had been upon the floor in this room anyway? He had stopped weeping, so what was there to say? No cause to sit gawping at each other if there was nothing to say; and as such there was no compliant- and no thanks, or compliments, and I was not such a woman as would know of the courtesies in such a social situation; other than to drop one's skirts as one left, which I duly did.
He said: "Éowyn-!", and I did turn, yes I did, but he said nothing- spread his hands, his mouth miming non-words, so I shrugged at him, and left him to it.

Would Purchase Again by Lill Red Wagon, September 22, 2011

|Overall Rating:
VERY KOOL SOUND!!! I just replaced my flo-master with this Kool Veu Muffler it looks much better and dose not have that nasty drone. This Muffloe is not a show piece but could be if they spent some time dressing the welds befor chromming. The Chrome if good quallity looks heavy hope it lasts through our Colorado Winter.

Bought muffler for 2003 Mini Cooper, After having to make up Pipes to fit muffler I found a great loss of back pressure, This took away performance from motor. Listing states suitable for 2003 mini cooper base model, I have now purchased a OEM Muffler to fit on my car. A great loss of time and money lost with this product plus loss of power.
Would buy again! by Salad, June 21, 2010

I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. I plan to buy and another muffler to have dual exhaust. This muffler looks pretty mean on my 96 Lumina. It has really nice deep sounding idle. I would recommend this to anyone who is wants a quality sounding muffler that looks good too. The picture above makes it look bigger then it really is. There is more then enough room under the car for mounting. Stock muffler is twice the size. Installation took my buddy & I about 45min. Make sure you also purchase some flex pipe and clamps to best fit the muffler.

I thought this muffler would have a rasp to it but it didnt. I did my research on exhaust systems b4 i installed it to make sure i got the best sound i could out of the muffler and man it is nice. I havn't heard a muffler that has such a deep tone like this one. I love the muffler. I was having my doubts about the size but it's not that big.
great purchase by vwp, April 12, 2009

looks awesome and sounds great, it has a cool deep tone. the only thing i have to say is that i had trouble installing it on my 97 integra it comes with no brackets so i had to make my own but other than that i think its great.

Christmas according to the Apostle Paul — Gal 4:4-5 (Pt. 1 of 3)

As few other carols do, the lyrics of this selection prompt us to contemplate the identity, the person and work, of the Babe in the manger.

The Breath of God
from Derek Thomas Nov 30, 2008 Category: ArticlesExpository preaching is a necessary corollary of the doctrine of the God-breathed nature of Scripture. The idea is not so much that God breathed into the Scriptures, but that the Scriptures are the product of His breathing out. Independent of what we may feel about the Bible as we read it, Scripture maintains a "breath of God" quality. Thus, the preacher is to make God's Word known and make it understandable. He is to limit himself to it without adding or subtracting. As Alec Motyer has written: "An expository ministry is the proper response to a God-breathed Scripture. . . . Central to it all is that concern which the word 'exposition' itself enshrines: a display of what is there." Keep Reading
Enoch Kept Walking
from James Boice Nov 29, 2008 Category: ArticlesThree hundred years is a long time. What kept Enoch walking with God for three hundred years? He had an awareness of judgment coming. He had a sensitivity to the ungodliness of the age. And he drew closer to God as the reality of these things pressed in upon him. The way to graph it would be to make a circle, space these three items around the circle, and then show by arrows that each one influenced the other. The more Enoch was aware of the judgment, the more sensitive he was to sin. Keep Reading

Confidence in Christ
from Chris Donato Nov 26, 2008 Category: Articles"Faith cannot be without a settled peace of mind, from which proceeds the bold confidence of rejoicing," John Calvin wrote in his commentary on Hebrews in the mid-sixteenth century.

And again: "We hence conclude that those who assent to the gospel doubtfully and like those who vacillate, do not truly and really believe." Keep Reading

This design pattern is part of the Mobile Web Design Patterns series.
[edit] Description
A series of list items arranged horizontally to form tabs which when clicked, reveal a pane of associated content. Note: There are many ways to create a tabbed list in HTML. Some of these require the creation of two lists—one for the tabs themselves and the other for the associated content. This reveals one of the weaknesses of tabs on the mobile web as it can be tricky to create a tabbed interface that will remain semantic and degrade gracefully on less capable browsers.
Associating a badge with a specific tab allows you to connect the information in the badge with a particular mode in your application, even when that mode is not the current one. The main purpose of Badge is to convey information in tab bar.
You can display a badge on a tab to communicate with users in a non intrusive, understated way. This type of feedback is suitable for communicating information that isn't critical to the user's task or context, but that is useful to know. The badge looks similar to the one Phone displays on the Voice mail tab to indicate the number of unheard messages: it is a red oval that appears near the upper right corner of the tab. The white text inside the oval provides the information.
[edit] Use when
- For top level navigation, as an alternate styling to a horizontal list.
- When combined with JavaScript to show/hide small amounts of related data.
[edit] Rationale
In this case, the rationale for use includes a cautionary tale. Tabs are often used within native apps to navigate between views. In these scenarios, the entire view is mapped to the tab. In other words, clicking Left and Right within the view will (typically) only map to switching from one tab view to the other. This mapping is persistent throughout the view enabling users to scroll at will, then switch views from anywhere within the page with a simple Left or Right click.
On the mobile web, the Left and Right keys cannot be custom mapped so in effect, the tabs are merely links that happen to look like tabs. To switch from one view to another, the user must actually navigate to the tab then click it. For this reason, the two examples provided above are the few that really make sense. Let's look at them in more detail:
Here the tabs are just an alternative styling of a top nav bar that could have been a horizontal list, or a horizontally aligned series of buttons. When a link is clicked, a new page loads.
As a best practice, this type of use should include a 'back to top' link and/or repeat the navigation options at the bottom of the page. Without these, users will have to scroll back to the top of the page to move onwards.
[edit] 2. To show/hide small amounts of data.
The reason it's recommended to keep the content small is that you otherwise end up with the same problem noted above—the user has to scroll back up to the tab to switch the view.
Note: This is also why tabs are ideally suited to simple widgets which often do not scroll and make wide use of JavaScript to show/hide data and switch views.
Figure: The Yahoo mobile web site uses a small tabbed widget to display news headlines. Unfortunately, this particular implementation requires a full reload of the page each time a tab is clicked. This makes for a disjointed experience (especially as the tabs are midway down the page).
[edit] Design Tips
- The selected tab should be highlighted (using contrasting colour, size or type style), and the deselected tabs should be legible enough to appear clickable.
- The selected tab should appear visually connected to its content area. This establishes a clear hierarchy between the tab label and the content below.
- Avoid using multiple rows of tabs. These can be difficult to read and confuse the visual hierarchy described above. Double tab navigation, while useful on the desktop can be particularly confusing on mobile and will often suffer from chronic lack of space. In these cases, it is best to use a traditional drill-down list approach instead.
- Keep tab labels short. If the labels are long and/or begin to resemble small sentences, the content you are alternating between may benefit from a different navigation scheme.
Two excellent resources for tab design (albeit not mobile focussed) are Tabs, Used Right and the section on tabs in the book Don't Make me Think.

Series 40
Series 40 DP 2.0
Publish and Win is a competition running in conjunction with the 2013 Series 40 Java and web apps webinars running in January through to the end of April 2013. The goal of the competition is for you to show us what you have learnt from the design and technical webinars we ran during 2012 and have planned for you in the first four months of 2013, by creating or updating a Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0 app.
Your application must be a new or significantly updated release for the Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0 (full-touch UI). To be 'new' your application shouldn't have been published in Nokia Store, for any Series 40 release, before 14 January 2013. To qualify as 'updated' your app must include some significant new features, that use a capability of Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0, for example, a game updated to include accelerometer based control using the Mobile Sensor API, the addition of location awareness, a change the UI from one based on LCDUI to LWUIT — for a more native look and feel — an update to take advantage of the multiple touch-point features of the Nokia UI API 1.6, or similar.
This is also an ideal opportunity to port your Android or BlackBerry apps to Series 40. For more information on how to port apps, see the Nokia Developer Porting to Series 40 library or check out the Android or Blackberry porting webinars.
And don't forget, you can also bring any Java apps you may have for Symbian over to Series 40 and enter them in the competition too.
Every app you submit should deliver a great UI that complies with the full-touch UI guidelines. Using one or more of the other technologies we cover in a webinar, such as advertising powered by Nokia Ad Exchange (NAX), will be an advantage. Making use of the features of Marketing in a Box — to drive downloads and gather reviews and star ratings — won't hurt your chances of winning a prize either.
Then in May 2013 the developers of up to three winning applications will each receive a pair of phones, a Nokia Asha 311 and a Nokia 808 PureView. In addition, there will also be ten Nokia Store spotlight packages and ten $100 Nokia Ad Exchange (NAX) credits available for selected apps.
If you haven't published an app on Nokia Store before, you can find details on the submission and publication process along with details of the quality criteria for published apps on the Nokia Developer Publish your app page.
How to participate
First, register and attend at least one of the Series 40 Java or web apps webinars running in January through to the end of April 2013. Then create one or more new web apps or new or updated Java apps, and have them published in Nokia Store before 23:59 UTC on 14 May 2013.
Here are the competition rules:
- you must have attended at least one 2013 Series 40 Java or web apps webinar before 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2013.
- submitted applications must be for Series 40 Developer Platform 2.0 (full-touch UI). Implementations for other editions of Series 40 will be taken into account during judging, but are not a requirement.
- to qualify as 'new' your application(s) must not have been published in Nokia Store for any Series 40 release before 14 January 2013.
- to qualify as 'updated' your application(s) must include significant new features in a version published in Nokia Store after 14 January 2013.
- your submitted application(s) must be published in Nokia Store by 23:59 UTC on 14 May 2013 (it's your responsibility to allow sufficient time for your app submission to Nokia Publish to be published in Nokia Store, but we suggest you allow 2 to 3 weeks).
- applications must be available in English. Other localised versions may be provided, but only the English version will be judged.
- to be eligible for a NAX store credit your application must include ads powered by NAX, for more information see the Nokia Developer NAX web page.
- to be eligible for a Nokia Store spotlight your Nokia Store submission must include the spotlight assets, for more details see the Spotlight content section of the Nokia Store Publisher Guide. Translated versions of the guide are available here.
- details of each application you want to enter must be sent to email@example.com and include:
- for each app submitted:
- details of the Nokia Store application ID or URL link.
- whether its 'new' or 'updated' and if 'updated' the feature(s) added in the update.
- the title of one of the Series 40 webinars you attended.
- for each app submitted:
See the fine print for more information.
The prizes
The following prizes will be awarded:
- up to three (3) overall winners will receive a pair of phones, a Nokia Asha 311 and a Nokia 808 PureView.
- up to ten (10) store spotlight packages.
- up to ten (10) $100 NAX credits.
Entries may be awarded a combination of prizes.
In the case where legal restrictions prevent the allocated prize being awarded, an alternative prize will be substituted.
Evaluation of entries
Entries will be judged on their compliance with relevant Series 40 UI guidelines, quality of the application, innovation and originality in application functionality, use of advanced APIs (where appropriate), and market appeal. Multiple entries are encouraged, but will be assessed on their individual merits — so a single great app will win over multiple less-impressive applications.
The entries will be judged by selected Nokia technical experts at the end of the competition. Typically, results are posted within two weeks of the end of the competition.

Happy Birthday, Booker T. Jones
Monday, November 12, 2012
Happy Birthday to Booker T. Jones of Booker T. & the MG's who celebrates his 68th birthday today (November 12th)!!! Booker T. joined the Stax Records staff as a saxophone player in 1960, but soon began playing organ in the Stax house band along with guitarist Steve Cropper, drummer Al Jackson, Jr. and bassist Lewis Steinberg. The band began recording instrumental singles on their own as the Mar-Keys and later as Booker T. & the MG's. Steinberg was later replaced by Donald "Duck" Dunn.
Thanks to classic songs like "Green Onions," "Mo' Onions," "My Sweet Potato," and "Hip-Hug Her" -- as well as his distinctive playing on tracks by Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, and a score of other Stax artists -- Booker T. has earned his place in musical history.
In 1971, Booker T. left the group, signaling its demise. He went on to record as a solo artist, and he also produced Willie Nelson's 1978 multi-platinum album, Stardust. In 1992, after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, the band (minus drummer Jackson, who was killed in 1975) were called upon to be the house band at the Bob Dylan tribute concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. During the show, they backed up (among others) Neil Young, who hired them to be his backing band for his summer 1993 tour.
Soon after, the band recorded The Way It Should Be, its first new album in seventeen years. In 2003 Booker T. & the MGs were among the artists that appeared during the four-day grand-opening celebration of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis, Tennessee.
Famed organ player Al Kooper -- who put together Blood, Sweat and Tears, discovered the groups Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Tubes, and played on Bob Dylan's highly acclaimed Highway 61 Revisited album -- explained why he believes Booker T. has earned a place in music history: "The way he put notes together, his concept of the organ itself . . . a real original. I mean, for jazz there was Jimmy Smith, and for rhythm and blues, there was Booker T."
Booker T. Jones will next perform on January 19th in Bloomington, Indiana's Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts.

1 dead, 3 injured in stabbing at Houston area high school
POSTED: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 - 8:35am
UPDATED: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 - 5:38pm
Spring, Texas — A 17-year-old student was killed and three other students were injured in stabbings Wednesday morning at a Houston-area high school, Harris County authorities said.
The stabbings happened around 7:10 a.m. CT during a confrontation at Spring High School, about 20 miles north of downtown Houston, Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said.
Three students were detained for questioning at the sheriff's office, Garcia said. The names of the students involved in the incident weren't immediately released.
One of the injured students was in surgery late Wednesday morning at a hospital, and two others were at a different hospital with minor injuries. Garcia didn't describe the condition of the patient in surgery.
After the stabbings, students were kept in classrooms for safety and to allow authorities to interview witnesses, said the superintendent of Spring Independent School District, Ralph Draper. The school intended to dismiss students for the day at noon, he said.
Garcia said authorities believe the three students who were detained "are the only persons of interest that we need to have in custody."
The sheriff said that "there has been some information that this may have been gang-related," but he stressed that no conclusions had been reached because the investigation was in the early stages.
Information on what led to the stabbings was limited. Garcia said an encounter between students turned into a physical confrontation involving "cutting instruments of some sort."
Sheila Dauth, mother of a Spring High School freshman, said she learned of the stabbings around 7:15 a.m., when her son texted her. They continued to communicate in the hours after, while he and other students were kept in their first-hour classes, she said.
"He said he's OK. He said it was pretty scary at first when they were rushing everyone into the classrooms," Dauth said. The students have drilled for such situations, "but I don't think he expected to be in a lockdown" like this, she said.
Dauth said she was disappointed that she learned about the incident through her son and the local media hours before the school district contacted her. The district gave automated phone and e-mail messages to parents about three hours after the stabbings, she said.
Draper, while not specifying the time it took to notify parents, told reporters that the district needed to do two things before communicating with families. First was to ensure the rest of the students were safe, and second was to coordinate with authorities so that the investigation wouldn't be compromised.

Using Google Spreadsheets as a Database with the Google Visualisation API Query Language
Wouldn't it be handy if we could treat all the public spreadsheets uploaded to Google docs as queryable tables in a database? Well, it appears that you can do so, at least at an individual spreadsheet level: Introducing the Google Visualization API.
Over the weekend, I started exploring the Google Visualisation API Query Language, which is reminiscent of SQL (if that means anything to you!). This language provides a way of interrogating a data source such as a public online Google spreadsheet and pulling back the results of the query as JSON, CSV, or an HTML table.
Got that? I'll say it again: the Google Visualisation API Query Language lets you use a Google spreadsheet like a database (in certain respects, at least).
Google query languages are defined on a spreadsheet in the following way:
Although defined, by default, to return JSON data from a query, wrapped in a pre-defined (and fixed?) callback function (google.visualization.Query.setResponse()), it is also possible to display the results of a query as an HTML table (which is "useful", as the documentation says, "for debugging"). The trick here is to add another argument to the URL: tqx=out:html, so for example a query would now be defined along the lines of:
Using the Guardian datastore's MPs expenses spreadsheet 2007-8 as an example, we can write quite a wide variety of queries, which I'll show below in their 'HTML preview' form.
(In a 'real' situation, you are more likely to retrieve the data as JSON and then process it as an object. Or, as I will also demonstrate, take the results of the query as CSV output (tqx=out:csv rather then tqx=out:html) and pull it directly into a service such as Many Eyes WIkified.)
The generic URL is of the form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?tqx=out:html&tq=QUERY&key=phNtm3LmDZEObQ2itmSqHIA.
In the examples, I will just show the unencoded select statement, but the link will be the complete, well-formed link.
So here we go:
- show everything – fetch the whole table: select * (in a lot of computer languages, '*' often refers to 'everything and anything');
- just show some particular columns, but again for everyone: fetch just columns B (surname), C (first name) and I (total additional costs allowance): select B,C,I
- only show the names of people who have claimed the maximum additional costs allowance (£23,083): fetch just columns B, C and I where the value in column I is 23083: select B,C,I where I=23083 (column I is the additional costs allowance column);
- How many people did claim the maximum additional costs allowance? Select the people who claimed the maximum amount (23083) and count them: select count(I) where I=23083
- So which people did not claim the maximum additional costs allowance? Display the people who did not claim total additional allowances of 23083: select B,C,I where I!=23083 (using <> for 'not equals' also works); NB here's a more refined take on that query: select B,C,I where (I!=23083 and I>=0) order by I
- search for the name, party (column D) and constituency (column E) of people whose first name is Jane or is recorded as John (rather than "Mr John", or "Rt Hon John"): select B,C,D,E where (C contains 'Joan' or C matches 'John')
- only show the people who have claimed less than £100,000 in total allowances : select * where F<100000
- what is the total amount of expenses claimed? Fetch the summed total of entries in column I (i.e. the total expenses claimed by everyone): select sum(I)
- So how many MPs are there? Count the number of rows in an arbitrary column: select count(I)
- Find the average amount claimed by the MPs: select sum(I)/count(I)
- Find out how much has been claimed by each party (column D): select D,sum(I) where I>=0 group by D (Setting I>0 just ensures there is something in the column)
- For each party, find out how much (on average) each party member claims: select D,sum(I)/count(I) where I=0 group by D
To create your own queries, just hack around the URIs.
Many Eyes WIkified is no more…
One other trick is to grab a CSV output, rather than an HTML output, and pull it into Many Eyes Wikified, and then visualise it within that environment – so we grab the data (in this case, using select D,sum(I) where I>=0 group byD, i.e. the total amount of additional costs allowance claims by party):
to give this:
and then visualise it in an appropriate way:
So to recap this final case, then, we are running a query on the original spreadsheet that calculates the total additional costs allowance claims per party, and emits the results as CSV. These results are imported into Many Eyes Wikified, and displayed therein.
Now I'm pretty sure that Many Eyes Wikified will continue (how often?) to synch data from a potentially changing data source, which means we should be able to use a similar approach to plot a running total of claims from the Shadow Cabinet Expenses spreadsheet…
…but, at the time of writing at least, it seems as if the publication/privacy settings on that spreadsheet are set such that access via th query language is denied…:-(
Anyway – that was a quick intro to the Google Visualisation API Query Language – so go play… ;-)
PS so what other spreadsheets might make for some interesting queries?
PPS @adrianshort has made a valuable point about how easy it is for a publisher to change the order of rows in a spreadsheet, and hence make a nonsense of your query. (Also, I think the approach I'm taking sort of assumes a simple, regular spreadsheet where row 1 is for headers, then the data, and ideally no other text e.g. in cells below the table describing the data in the table.) So always check… ;-)
PPPS If the first row in the table defines column headings, then there are intervening lines (maybe spaces) before the data starts, putting offset N (where N is a number) will skip that many rows before displaying the data.
Something else I noticed on the order by setting, this can be of the form order by COL asc (to sort in ascending order, which is the default) or order by COL desc ( to sort in descending order).

@Marko – i m a big fan of simile exhibit, but the query language option is even better then simile exhibit. i have a website also using simile exhibit off a google spreadsheet and given the size of the spreadsheet, the load time my website is very extensive which i have observed makes me lose visitors interest. GQL is better since it actively queries the spreadsheet for only relevant data and hence the load times are much more snappier.

Excellent writeup – I am planning to change my simile exhibit powered website to use this instead.
Btw, in relation to your question about the json callback ("Although defined, by default, to return JSON data from a query, wrapped in a pre-defined (and fixed?) callback function…") the request format does support a custom callback function using the tqx paramter as follows:
tqx=responseHandler:foo will call "foo" function as follows:
foo({status:'ok', … });
Many thanks for this. Saved me a bunch of time (just starting using it in a small way on theyworkforyoulocal.com — an early-stage project to make local govt data accessible).
Agree with your comment on later post about data integrity, particularly consistency in naming/unique refs for the bodies concerned, although sometimes this is a problem of the original govt produced data
This is interesting indeed.
I tried with my own spreadsheet,

"Oops, an error occured.

This is nice, but I don't like the idea of using column letters like A, B, C in queries. Because if the sheet is modified with new columns being inserted, then all the data is shifted and the queries do not make sense any more.
It is somewhere mentioned in the Google docs documentation something about column ID or column identifier. So that if your column ID is party, then your query can be:
select party
instead of
select D
So if you insert a new column left of D, the query "select party" remains valid, while "select D" now points so something different than party.
But I never managed to set column ID / identifier in Google spreadsheets. Does anyone know how to do this?
Super write-up! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Somehow I feel lost about getting at the result data, however:
Example URL below returns custom callback "myResult", but I'm not able to actually get anything into my DOM ( I use jQuery). What am I missing? It must be something very simple, I'm sure…
returns :
myResult({version:'0.6′,status:'ok',sig:'3140154′,table:{cols:[{id:'A',label:",type:'string',pattern:"},{id:'B',label:",type:'string',pattern:"}],rows:[{c:[{v:'first name'},{v:'last name'}]},{c:[{v:'john'},{v:'smith'}]},{c:[{v:'adrian'},{v:'booger'}]},{c:[{v:'sally'},{v:'fields'}]},{c:[{v:'sally'},{v:'gophers'}]}]}});
I much appreciate any pointers!
Absolutely fantastic technology and write up- thanks.
I was thinking about building my database within Google App Engine ("big table") and then querying against that, but this honestly looks much easier.
I use the query language in order to do the simplest thing: show a html table of the data extracted from a spreadsheet. However, this data contains URLs of images; I would like the resulting html table to show the image itself instead of its URL. Do you think it would be possible.
Thanks in advance for any pointer!

Thanks for writing this article. I am just starting to use Google Spreadsheets, and am an amateur at code. Can you access data from different sheets in the spreadsheet, or just from the first sheet on the spreadsheet? Even when I copy the key from Sheet3 of my spreadsheet, the html still shows the data from Sheet1.
Thanks Tony, but I was talking about when I enter something like: http://spreadsheets.google.com/tq?tqx=out:html&tq=select%20count(I)&key=myKey=en#gid=2. It still gets the data from the first sheet instead of the third sheet, en#gid=2.
Never mind Tony, I found the answer on one of your other articles. I just needed to add "&gid=2″ to the end of my key to get data from the third sheet. Thanks for all of your hard work on these articles. They are helping me a lot
A useful summation of the SQL-Like query API
Two glaring omissions in Google's otherwise very useful API, one is the "JOIN" concept – which appears counter to Google's philosophy – but is still necessary in the real world, to combine 'tables' by matching a common value. (In the end I wrote a function to do it).
The other one is an "IN" or "One of" construct and inverse "NOT IN" as for example
Select * Where J ='value1′ OR J ='Value2′ OR J = 'Value3′
Is more efficiently written as
Select * Where J in ('Value1′, 'Value2′, 'Value3′)
Which could with a bit of thought resolve from a series of values in a column or row, rather than as constants, for example I use the following to construct my query taking the values in cells.
Select * Where J ='"&A2 &"' or J ='"&A3&"' OR J = '"&A4&"' or J ='"&A5&"' or J ='"&A6&"' or J ='"&A7&"' "

Could you please help me in this regard.
Hi Tony,
thanks for quick reply. Yes, even am working on mapping methods only. Will post it if I succeed.
The problem is that I have several tables. Each of them is having categories and the cutoff rank for that particular category. Some of the tables have few categories and some of them have more. So, For example if I map column B to General Merit, and column C to Defense category, then if there is no Defense category in the next table then it will lead to erroneous graphs. The other approach would be a lengthy code written specifically for each sheet, which I dont want as an option.
I have gone through this table:
But am not getting how do I add labels to the table headers.
Also, I have referred to
and added headers=1 in options. But it did not work.
Thanks once again.
Greetings from India.
Hi Tony,
I wrote a small file read write java program which converted all the data uniformly.
I have another question now. If I made my spreadhseet public, anyone will be able to view it. If I make it private only allowed users can.
Is it possible to grant access to the spreadsheet if it access via only a particular URL. For example http://www.foo.com. If the spreadsheet query does nor originate from http://www.foo.com, access denied should appear.
I have another concern. If a person has access to my Data Source URL, he will be able to find out how I made that particular application. Please be patient. Am a newbie here.
Thanks for all the help.
I must say I was able to build a small application using your blog. God bless you.

if anyone has problems with the header row not returning properly in your results, you can add &headers=1 (or however many header rows you have) to force it to return the header row correctly.
Great article – very helpful – having issues trying to hide the headings though when calling a html table – they always seems to be there despite trying your PPPS suggestions below – which only work on the data – not the headings?! – could it be something to do with the spreadsheet maybe??? Any suggestions welcome!
"PPPS If the first row in the table defines column headings, then there are intervening lines (maybe spaces) before the data starts, putting offset N (where N is a number) will skip that many rows before displaying the data."
Thanks again,
Have sorted the above but by using the 'range' query e.g:
Would still be better/easier as an offset option though?
Offset does not seem to work. Any help?
How can I apply CSS?
Note, headers does NOT turn the first row of the spreadsheet on/off– it tells the HTML how many rows should be formatted as headers. At 0, your first row of data will be formatted as data.
