A Matador Statue By The Roman Amphitheatre
Nimes, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Readers, in light of the title of this blog, you'll be pleased to know that I have my thermal underwear on. They consist of a set of SnowPro long sleeved top and bottoms, and are black and very unattractive. Luckily they are on underneath my clothes. The problem is though, that your leg hairs (if you have them) thread themselves in between the fibres of the material and it feels like velcro. I'm sorry for girls if they have to wear this stuff, because you know what shaved legs grown back a little are like. The reason I'm wearing these unflattering undergarments is because I have no choice. Outside today it is a moderate minus one degrees celsius with another five degrees taken off due to the thirty knot Northerlies blowing in from the Alps. They call the freezing winds "Ces" here. Sounds like an old neighbour I used to have, Cecil, and I wasn't a fan of him either. He was cold and bitter too.
I figure myself a very cold-hardy person, but after a while it seeps into your core and you better get warm or you're in deep shit. Aleks has also developed a chilblain on her
The Walled City Of Carcassonne
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
outer thigh from repeated cold in that area, being only covered in jeans. It's not good, and we have to try to keep it warm and dry, but Little Miss Naivety just wants to keep walking around in freezing wind and having a great time. I don't understand it, I just know I want it gone. And if that means sitting in hot places for three days, then that's what's going to happen, whether she likes it or not.
We have a little water container hooked up to one of those pump taps you usually find in campers. We run it out about once every three days. We don't use it for rinsing, and we don't use it to fill the sink; we actually go to the truck stop bathrooms and fill up with hot water from the hand washing taps. It's funny to watch people's reactions when you're using a short water bottle to decant into a bigger one in the handbasins because the big one doesn't fit under the tap. They wonder what the hell I'm doing. When they raise an eyebrow, I just smile at them like I'm doing something evil and they shouldn't get involved.
Gateway To The Old City
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
It's hard to wash up, or even dry the dishes, when it's zero degrees outside. Your hands freeze instantly and take about half an hour to warm up again.
What's my point with all this? I don't know... It's all nice to tell you guys about our day to day adventures and checklist-ticking, but it's interesting to divulge the intricacies of campervanning in a car that wasn't essentially designed to be a camper. It's a real learning process, a constant guess-and-check, a day to day problem solving extravaganza. You learn a lot about yourself in a situation like this, especially in relation to your ability to think logically. Like yesterday morning when every tap in a four hundred mile radius was frozen solid, and Aleks had already tipped the old water out. Fortunately we have a 5L container filled for exactly that reason: the constant glugging sound it makes as we drive is worth having it as a backup.
See? Tolerance developing from learning lessons the hard way. I'll just clarify: I might sound like I'm a little bit frustrated with this trip, but trust me that couldn't be further from the truth. I absolutely love where I
Inside The Chateau Comtal
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
am right now and nothing short of a good dose of frostbite will get me away from it! But I think that when you're in an environment you're not used to, prudence is King. But I digress muchly...
We had covered 3459km by the time we reached Carcasonne. I know this because as we fuelled up the night before, Aleks took it upon herself to reset the "B"-Trip odometer total. The one I wanted to keep running for the entire trip to take a photo of at the end, showing our amazing number of k's travelled. I was heartbroken, naturally, and swore never to let a woman touch anything like that ever again.
Carcasonne is the largest, best preserved and one of the most politically important examples of a medieval city and its fortifications in Europe. Much of the city is a contemporary urban sprawl of 45,000 inhabitants, but the main attraction is the centre ville historique, a tight meshing of buildings encased within a double-reinforced set of ramparts and roman towers. It dragged a few astounded oohs and ahhs from us as we drove The Ark up to it, as it looks more like a King's Castle
The Wooden Hording
Chateau Comtal, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
of old than anything we've seen so far. The amazing thing is that it was built in the 13th century and still looks largely untouched. Even though it was heavily restored to keep it standing in the 19th century by some geezer called Viollet-le-Duc. The good thing about this though, is that all the wooden parts have been replaced, including the hoardings (like big, wooden boxes) atop the ramparts. Basically it's got all the places that the other castles tell you about but haven't got. It looks just sensational, and you get a far better idea of how it really looked back rather than having to use your imagination.
We paid our €8 to get in and were treated to a walk through of the usual maze of towers and ramparts, dungeons and lodgings that you see in these types of places. It was very fairytale, and seeing the size of the giant carpark they have next to it, it was another spot that we're very glad we're visiting in Winter so as to avoid millions of tourists. Apparently the place is hell in summer. There was just us and one other car in the carpark, so that was
looking Over The Old Town
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
nice, and we barely saw a soul in there. Just like we like it.
After being done with Carcassonne it was off in the direction of Nimes, passing through a place called Bezier which was home to one of the most massive cathedrals we've seen yet, stuck up on top of a hill and looking just amazing. We also passed through a town called Capestang (interesting name I thought) where we first did some shopping and ate some lunch before investigating the local city centre there. There wasn't really that much to see there, and the church was closed, but some random guy saw me staring at the locked doors and suddenly produced a set of keys to the place. He let me in for five minutes to take a look around and I thanked him very much; the inside was very old but nothing spectacular. That afternoon we drove to the a truck stop halfway to Nimes and called it a day.
The 17th was looking to be a very exciting day, as we covered the rest of the distance to Nimes reading about the Roman Amphitheatre we were going to see... the best preserved in the
Roman Semi-Circular Tower
Chateau Comtal, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
whole wide world. Amphitheatres! You know, like the movie Gladiator? Man I love that movie, and so it stands to reason that the day could only get better. We arrived in Nimes and paid for parking, then I treated myself to my first croque monsieur (like a ham and gruyere toasty). It was just OUTSTANDING, although it fell all over the place and was greasy and messy, but that was just fine. We then turned around and saw our destination, and I yelled "WOOHOO!" so loudly that a couple of people looked at me, but with good reason - see the photos. It's so large that I couldn't get it in a single photo and didn't do it any justice at all.
The only problem with this amphitheatre is that it was built in the time of the Roman Emperor Augustus (around 70AD). This means it has fifty billion possible entry points as was the case with most arenas built in that time, but you have to walk all the way around the building to find the main one as the others are gated closed. We found the entrance, paid €9.80 each for a ticket that allowed us entry

Chateau Comtal, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
into the Arena, the Magne Tower up on the hill (a tower built in 15BC), and the Maison Caree (a temple built to honour Augustus' sons).
So basically the Arena's deal is that after it was built and then subsequently as the Roman Empire fell, the amphitheater was fortified by the Visigoths and surrounded by a wall. During the turbulent years that followed the collapse of Visigoth power in Hispania and Septimania, not to mention the Muslim invasion and subsequent reconquest by the French kings in the early eighteenth century, the viscounts of Nîmes constructed a fortified palace within the amphitheater. Later a small neighborhood developed within its confines, complete with one hundred denizens and two chapels. Seven hundred people lived within the amphitheater during the apex of its service as an enclosed community. And it's still standing after all that? With minimal reconstruction? Cripes!
Apart from this though the Arena was used as exactly that, an arena. This is the place where huge crowds of all levels of society (up to 15,000 at a time) could come and watch all sorts of things, like men fighting other men, men fighting lions and bears, criminals being executed, animals
6th Century Sarcophagus
Chateau Comtal, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
fighting animals yada yada yada. The main event however was the combat between professional arse-kickers, known as the Gladiators. These hardest of hard men were trained at schools all over Italy, Spain and France, and came to fight till either the judges called it as over, or someone was killed. There's a lot of hollywood gloss that's been applied to this stuff, such as the big thumbs down given in killing a guy at the end of the combat - that's bullcrap, and usually they were allowed to live. They replaced the sand in the arena every hour to help deal with all the blood being spilt. Mmmm yummy. We toured around the whole place and took some amazing photos - the structure is just beautiful, albeit a bit more weathered than when it was built I would warrant. It was easily in my Top 3 of cool places to visit, not only because of how old and amazing it is, but the history of the gladiators too. Wow
That afternoon we also saw the Maison Caree, and watched a very kitcsch 3D film about "The Heroes Of Nimes", which gave us the story of the important figures in
Who Farted???
Chateau Comtal, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Nimes history via some crap acting of an old guy looking into the sands of time, asking "Who Is The Greatest Hero In Nimes' History!!!!" in a booming voice. There was lots of budget special effects and some more atrocious acting, and finally it was decreed that "All of the citizens of Nimes are heroes!" And we looked at each other and rolled our eyes under our ridiculous 3D glasses. We consoled ourselves by eating some truffle sausages for dinner at the truck stop and doing some blogging.
The next day it was back to Nimes to see the final leg of our €9.80 tour, the Tour Magne. The tower is a big, hollow round tower built as a survey tower and connecting point for the original walls around the city. Truth be told there's not much to see in there, save for a few bits of stonemasonry and some guy looking bored in a ticket booth, but the climb to the top is the main attraction via a spiral staircase straight to the viewing platform at the top. The staircase was built in the mid 19th century, and looks like the only support the building has! It's truly
A Quick Re-Do
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
mystifying how it has remained standing for 2000 years with so little to reinforce it, although apparently Nostradamus predicted that something cool was buried under the tower, so they dug right down to the foundations which almost disrupted its stability. Once we had made it to the top, the view out over the city was just spectacular, so much to see even though it was a hazy shade of winter. We got some great high level photos.
After Tour Magne, which was a rather short experience, we were off to another place that we had been excited about for quite some time: Pont Du Gard. This is one of the best preserved Roman aquaducts in existence and a phenomenal feat of engineering and precise calculations considering its age (2000 years old). We arrived after the sky had cleared from hazy to a near iridescent blue, and the sun was falling happily like it tends to do at this time of year in the cold regions of the world. Thus it was perfect weather conditions to see the area.
Aleks touts Pont Du Gard as nearly her favourite place on the trip so far, and I'm inclined to agree.
Basilique St-Nazaire
Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
The area surround the three-tiered, 25m high aquaduct is just beautiful. It's very similar to some of the greener places we saw in Sardinia, a lot of limestone and olive trees. The water in the river running underneath the structure is an incredible turquoise for some reason, and on the whole the setting was nearly perfect. The structure itself however is the main event, and you can walk across it by means of an attached footpath built next to it in the 18th century. The whole thing is made of that beautiful Sarlat yellow sandstone, and amazingly bears graffiti from as far back as 1649 from what we saw; people had etched their names in the sandstone for hundreds of years. It's a bit stupid though, and it pisses me off to think people feel they are allowed to do that.
It's especially funny to see a couple of members of the stonemasons had scrubbed their inverted V shaped symbols on it in the mid 19th century, and it's about the fifth time I've seen them around. IDIOTS! Hear ye! We are truly great and powerful guildsmen and must leave our marks to show our worldly experience! I know,
Aleks Studying
Basilique St-Nazaire, Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
I have an idea, I'm going to invent a club and tell everyone how amazing and secret it is, and go around the world drawing graffiti on ancient artifacts, pillaging and stealing from historical sites and generally being a wanker, all in the name of the strength of modern man! *beats on chest*
Anyway, the place was just beautiful, we sat there for over an our just revelling in the beautiful day, and the amazing valley and river surroundings. We were also treated to a fighter jet flyover, and played with the ice building up in the corners of the river. After that we hopped over to a Carrefour for some some jambon cru, tomate and emmental on baguette for lunch, after which we spent a few hours in McDonald's recharging and blogging. Bloody McDonald's again. See, that's the sacrifice that I am making for you people. We then drove the rest of the way to Avignon, and as we came over the bridge we were absolutely floored by the vista of the city, it was all ramparts and the giant palace inside the walls, but it was getting late and so we retired to a truck stop, leaving

swing compass
You can use the GPS to swing the compass but you need to account for the local magnetic variation by setting your GPS to magnetic. If it only displays true heading you need to steer for the magnetic heading by adding or subtracting the magnetic variation. If west mag var add to the true heading and subtract if it is east mag var. i.e if you are trying to steer magnetic 0 and your mag var is 10 west you would sail 350 on the GPS. Adjsutments should be made at 90 then 180 then half of the the error at 270 and 0. then swing every thirty degree and record the differnce between your magnetic heading and the heading on the compass--this would be your deviation.

Elizabeth May and Gary Lunn neck-and-neck?
However, the poll is interesting because we rarely get to see polls from individual ridings. And on election night, the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands will be watched very closely as it is where party leader Elizabeth May will be running against Conservative minister Gary Lunn. The Greens have changed their strategy to one of Elect-Elizabeth, so a lot of things will be riding on what happens in Saanich-Gulf Islands.So, according to this poll the race is really one between the Conservatives and the Greens. Gary Lunn got 34% support in this poll, while May was at 32%. And when you take into account the margin-of-error, this is a virtual tie.
The Liberals, who will be represented by Renee Hetherington, and the New Democrats, who will be represented by Edith Loring-Kuhanga, were tied at 17%.
An interesting sidebar: Lunn will be running against three women.
Obviously, this poll is terrific news for the Greens. If this level of support held firm into an election campaign, it really would be a coin toss. And May in the House of Commons, whether or not she has any greater role than your average independent, will change things.
But let's look at this poll in the context of past elections. At 34%, Gary Lunn would be at his lowest level of support since 2004, when he was first elected under the Conservative banner. And it is a drop of nine points from last year.
For the Greens, who do have some history here as they were at 17% in the 2004 election, this is a big jump from the 11% the party had in 2008. Part of that increase in support could be coming from the Conservatives, but with a 22-point drop in Liberal support from the 2008 election, almost exactly the gain the Greens are seeing in this poll, we have to believe that most of it is coming from the Liberals.
It certainly isn't coming from the NDP, who were at only 6% in 2008. But, recall that this was the candidate who dropped out of the election because of some unseemly photos. There is a history of NDP support here (over 20% in both the 2004 and 2006 elections), so this 17% is not some sort of huge gain for the party.
Anyway you slice it, this is a fascinating poll and an important one for Ms. May's leadership. Many people criticized her for running in Nova Scotia, a province with little Green history, back in 2008. And others criticized her for choosing Saanich-Gulf Islands, as it was another so-so riding for the Greens that would put her up against a cabinet minister. If the riding was represented by a back-bencher, voters would have less to lose and would be, perhaps, more willing to take a chance on the Green leader. And then there is the whole issue of the leadership contest that was supposed to happen but was vetoed by the party at the urging of the party leader.
This poll vindicates her, at least a little.
Hopefully we will get another poll for this riding in the future. But even if we don't, this will continue to be a riding to watch.
Thanks to a commenter who forward me to this poll, also done for the Greens. It's a little older and has some odd findings, but confirms that the race is pretty close.
28 comments:
Ooh, that one is juicy. But it actually showed a much closer race when people were asked which candidate they would support:
Those two questions are oddly irreconcilable.
As that is starting to get pretty old, I'll just add it to the above post.The big issue with these polls that can't be resolved without knowing their methodology is whether they made any attempt to screen for likely voters.
30% of the residents of Saanich-Gulf Islands didn't vote in the last election.
1) Green support is highest amongst those who are under 25.
2) Those who are under 25 are the LEAST likely to show up to vote.Peter those two points I raised are very important. They are hardly "spin".
The first point comes from the crosstabs of any EKOS poll, where they list party support by age.
The second point comes from figures provided in a turnout report done by elections Canada.
You can look up the info yourself if you like.
Its a big grain of salt to take with any polls on this race.
As for media attention, Elizabeth May would be on camera CONSTANTLY if elected.
Every time an issue came up she would be asked her party's position on it and how she planned to vote.Shadow:
"I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Stephen Harper, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
"Shadow the CPC mantra:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."Hi, I am new to this and I would just like to give my two cents on this story. The first thing I would like to do is talk about the Green Party and then about Elizabeth May.
The problem with the Green Party as a whole is they are seen as a protest party and nothing more. The sooner the Greens get rid of Elizabeth May and go find a leader that wants to find a place in the spectrum that is better in terms of getting votes the Greens will be stuck in this position for their leader and for their party. As far as Elizabeth May's chances in this riding I say that most likely Gary Lunn retains his seat. I am usually a person that likes to switch between the Liberal party and the Conservative party so I feel it is important to be neutral on this subject.
One other thing is I picked my name because I feel that a third option is necessary in Canadian politics. I have been on other forums and I tell people that some kind of third party is needed and a party like a Centrist Democratic Party or even the Green party would need to be red tory and help attract votes from people who are conservative-minded liberals and moderate conservatives. That is the direction I believe the Greens should head in. I think getting Georges Laraque in the fold was the right thing to do.
As far as the Green party is concerned they are seen as environmental and can never be truly considered as a good third option. That is why I brought up the issue of a party called the Centrist Democratic Party as a party of unifying Conservative Liberals and Moderate Conservatives. It is not an idea to make the two main parties weaker but to make them more centrist and to make them adapt to pressure. Also, it would attract more people into politics and then people would not have to feel the need of just staying with their parties and they would have a reason to switch.
Thank you and I hope my comment has generated a lot of discussion and I look forward to hearing from all of you."But with only one or two seats they are NOT a party as far as the House is concerned !!"
Peter I got to say one thing and this is actually something I would like others to comment about and that is what did the Reform Party do to get a lot of support? Also, I assume many of you might say that the Reform Party had one thing that the current Green Party does not to get past a possible one or two seats that will give the party at least a chance to speak in the debates but not party status and that is they had grassroots support and that means they had the means to get people out to vote and to basically make people understand what the party stood for on certain issues.
The Green Party needs to use the same tactics and I agree to be a strong party; the party has to be centrist and focus on being a replacement for the old Progressive Conservative Party. By doing this, the party will be successful and eventually people will begin to take notice. The only problem is being fifth in the House of Commons out of five parties is pretty hard a position to get out of and for people to notice you. The only advantage they have is they are not separatist and they can say we are not the NDP and portray themselves as a third centrist, fiscally conservative, socially progressive alternative. That can be an advantage but the only time that will happen is when the party gets a seat not by someone switching but by actually winning a seat.
Lastly, the final thing I would like to clear up is something Elizabeth May seems to know a lot about and that is she seems to think Harper may want to divide Canadians so much as to make them not vote anymore and shrink the electorate to the point where almost no one votes and therefore guarantees Harper a majority. There are other things that she thinks he may be planning. It is all in this article. Here you go:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/lawrence-martin/the-greens-funky-leader-sees-a-harper-election-plot/article1709159/These polls aren't the first ones that show Elizabeth May neck-and-neck with Gary Lunn. This is an interesting situation given Lunn's 13 years of visibility and incumbency. It's Elizabeth's riding to win or lose.
After 13 years, Lunn should have knocked on every door multiple times. Every voter capable of fogging a mirror should at least be aware of him. Stated differently, he's maxed out his potential.
By contrast, Elizabeth is still new to SGI voters. You can wince at what this means about our electorate, but she's still an unknown to a large part of the riding. Put differently, she's in a horse race with Lunn even though she hasn't tapped her full base.
The May challenge is to become known: to ID the Green vote and get it out on election day. She hasn't come near to canvassing every house yet. If she does, she will inform, identify and mobilize the necessary vote. If she doesn't, the odds against her go way up. Gary Lunn will have identified every Tory vote years ago.
It's all in the execution. The votes are there, but have to be nurtured.Shadow: Those who are under 25 are the LEAST likely to show up to vote.
Thought for the day: a contributing factor may be that under-25s don't vote Tory. Therefore, they aren't being dragged out by the most effective machine in Canadian politics.
If this is a significant factor, Canadian democracy will benefit from the maturing of the Green party. A strong predictor of lifelong voting patterns is whether a person votes in their first two eligible elections. Early Green mobilization of young supporters will build lifelong habits of voting.
Apathy is boring.Peter:
"I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Stephen Harper, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
As a favour do you think you could post the full poem. I remember this from high school and always liked it. Please post it without alteration. I'm serious not being funny.
EarlCentrist Party:
I like your premise. That is why I've advocated the merger of the two large parties to form a party of the centre. That would result in the reformation of the Reform party and a strengthening of both the NDP and Green parties as fringe members of both parties moved to new alternatives.
Eventually the electorate would look for an alternative on either the left or right but that alternative would have moved closer to the centre or they would not be an alternative.
We need a true party of the centre that will be honest with the electorate.

Peter I got to say one thing and this is actually something I would like others to comment about and that is what did the Reform Party do to get a lot of support?"
Simple, they come from Alberta so they were guaranteed a large number of seats to form a party in the House. They also got support in other Western provinces as well.much as peter wants to minimize the west, The reform party capitalized on popular support or rather dissent.
A bunch of things came into place for them. The Quebec caucus of the PC breaking away, Kim Campbell running a less than ineffectual campaign. Mulroney's abandoning of fiscal conservative principles. Chretien's Gun control... and failure to deliver on promises like GST.
There was a whole lot of stuff that people (out west especially) became annoyed with in the PC party. It really was a break off of a large chuck of the PC due to popular dissent. And a motivated group who capitalized on more dislike for Chretien's missteps (that was the polite term,... but it was more of "screw the west we'll take the rest") with the rural community.
Through Trudeau, Chretien and Martin the west felt quite marginalized, and so the liberal party (and it's legacy), simply weren't an option for many people.
So the choice was simple. The Tories who abandoned you.... or the Canadian version of the grassroots popular Tea Party movement.
The grassroots approach made the reform party very formidable. Money, volunteer hours, and popular opposition coupled with some high ideals like a triple E senate, reducing the size of government and giving people their money back..
Harper, tho he still maintains some of the popular ideals like killing the (useless) gun registry, and an elected senate, etc.... has done as Mulroney has, and embraced several more centrist policy's.
He is not yet in the position as Campbell was... partly because people remember the evolution required handing political adversary's... (specifically the ones they wanted out) 3 easy majorities. The second part is that Harper still retains alot of loyalty for leading the reform/pc's together out of the political wilderness and into government even if it is only a minority. It is still quite an accomplishment. Just as Manning's reform party was.- Anonymous24 February, 2011 20:58
A note to Volkov 5 months later...
I recently managed to get hold of the tabs for the McAllister poll.
The numbers reported are screened for likely voters. And the results are weighted by the 6 CSDs, accounting for gender and age as well as population distribution within the riding. Not only that, the weights are all well below 3.0, a sign that they did their callbacks. Pretty meticulous work. Things may have changed since (I'm hoping), but I can't find any fault in the poll.

Hello I'm wanting to get this tablet as I've heard great reviews about it and I love the option of a keyboard dock. I already have a laptop and android phone. I have grown to love android in fact I rarely use my laptop. Is there any known issues with this pad, and is web browsing really smooth? I hear its getting jelly bean so thats good most likely won't need to root then right? Any downsides to this tablet is what I'm really wondering.
Bought one for daughter about a month ago. She loves it. College senior in a pre-Med program. Very picky. It basically has everything that both the Prime & Infinity have, unless you are looking for a flash on the camera. And you can currently get it on Amazon for $374.
Thanks, yeah I can't imagine ever needing the rear camera honestly if they would have not included that could have helped the price. I played with the 300 and the nexus 7 at Staples and I am sold on the 300 its quite amazing. But jelly bean was very nice on the nexus 7, only 7 inches honestly feels more like a large phone in my opinion. Does anyone know how you change the on screen keyboard on the 300 as I didn't see it in the settings?
If you are still undecided Jelly Bean is now available for the tf300. It seems to make it a bit quicker and slicker.

Superhunky July 11, 2013 10:57 AM well done to the FIA as all the cash strapped teams will be having to massively increase their budgets to pay for your little pea shooter engines next year to keep the manufactures happy as they can justify it to the boards and shareholders while they mess about in the sport and buy grace and favour. I think we will be hearing more of this type of thing from others in the upcoming months. Maybe F1 teams also need to stop paying themselves Hollywood salaries and maybe book normal hotel rooms and travelling economy like all the other global businesses which are struggling..... and pigs might fly......

A Celebration of Life
By Jessica Daniels On April 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, General Admissions News, Our Students
Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote about how the Fletcher community had rallied behind one of our students, Erica Murray. Last December, we received the incredibly sad news that Erica had lost her battle with leukemia. Incredible because of Erica's amazing vitality, all the way to the end. Today, the community will come together again. First, with a bone marrow drive in Erica's honor. And then, with a celebration of her life. The Student Council sent this message of invitation:
Dear Friends,
There comes a time in the life of a community when all else must pause so together we can re-affirm the values and causes that unite us and set us apart.
One such time is tomorrow, April 17th, 2009; we will all gather to celebrate the life of Erica Murray our departed friend and colleague. Erica walked our corridors, dreamed our dreams, and stood tall in the face of adversity. You may not have known her personally, but she was and always will be one of us. Her strength and spirit has touched us all.
We gather to celebrate Erica's strength and convictions, and also to affirm our common creed of service to humanity. We are running a bone marrow drive in the basement of Cabot Hall as part of the celebrations. It promises to be a sunny day tomorrow — so come to Fletcher and play soccer and frisbee on the lawn, read a book on a bench while enjoying the sunshine, and stop inside to participate in the activities honoring a beautiful student from our Fletcher Family.
What: Celebrating Erica Murray's Life and Bone Marrow Drive
When: April 17th, 2009
Time: 11:00AM – 3pm Bone Marrow Drive in the Cabot Basement
3:30PM – Actual Ceremony Starts in the ASEAN Auditorium, All are encouraged to attend.
Thanks for helping make Fletcher the amazing community that is!
The Student Council

My piano adaptation of the classic Muse song! Sorry it's a bit quiet, my new piano's LOUD
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow Awsome
Awsome this is an awsome track you have here, the {GUITAR} was fantastic somewhere at the start i dont remember because i was amazed at the whole track, as you really have put your all, into this so nicejob all around on this, The {DRUMS} were pretty fantastic aswell, and finally the {PIANO} more of the focus of things here in this track, but was your masterpiece if you ask me, you will for sure get a ten from me on this one, i am becoming a fan of yours from this piece alone so awsome job here and really hope to hear more stuff like this, Now how can i suggest anything to improve on when this is perfect, all i can really say is keep rolling out these awsome yet unque pieces.
I looked to find something to suggest for improving, onlything i came up with, would be to make it longer and keep up with what you are doing, so awsome job, ill look for more of your work soon.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Muse is my fav band, and this is an Awesome Version of NewBorn.
Nothin but Respect for this one.
cheers bud
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Thats kickass
where can i get the music for this. your version not the original ?
Nowhere! I haven't written this down. It's all my own arrangement, just from listening to the recording. Thanks for the review!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I wish
I could play this well but this is just amazing piano work!
Thank ya very much!

If they devs can nbow build underground spaces such as tunnels can they now build rooms, of the kind tunnel, room, tunnel, stairs, surface. If which case we may get the type of facility we've been asking for. The questions will be:-

All I will say is, some of the PS1 vets here remind me of 8-track junkies. You can claim how great PS1 was, and how it was the bestest thing ever, but the truth is it failed, flopped, and finally died off due to the fact that more people post on these forums daily than played PS1 on the average day. |

I'd like to see your 'refutations' assist, probably as shallow as PS2 is. PS1 wasn't flawless but it had a damn sight better foundation than PS2 does, most of us are wondering why they ignored all the good stuff from PS1 whilst implementing all the terrible horrendously broken shit. viz. 3-ways + BR40 Then again, the devs seem to be re-implementing a PS1 mechanic every couple of months, maybe a decade later they'll finally have finished PS2. I guess that says more about which game flopped/failed right? Oh and nice server mergers after 2 months on a free game.

If I bothered to take the time, I can probably find a thread discussing every single major topic touched by these notes. All input from current PS2 players and old PS1 "vets" alike. Sounds to me like there are no notes (yet) on the isses YOU deem most important and are all pissy and throwing a forum tantrum. My best friend is a programmer in the gaming industry. They work rediculous hours. Then when it gets to release time, they work EVEN MORE REDICULOUS HOURS. If they've been gone for a month, they're probably taking all the owed vacation time they weren't alowed to take prior to release, as well as taking well earned relaxation time so they don't end up divorced or in an insane asylum. If you consider that devs are expected to play their own games so they have a clue, and grant that even when they're "playing", they're actually working; then you have to see that they put in rediculous quantities of time WORKING. Everyone needs vacation, distraction and rest. |

I know! Who'd have thunk it, if you make stupid decisions, you make more work for yourself.
They made their design decisions, we've been shouting that they're the wrong ones for months, they're now having to work on redoing shit which just happens to align with what we were saying all along. It's a case of we fucking told you so, whilst being shouted down by all the newbs who were and still are clueless. Of course you don't have to listen to anything I say, you can just check the game population dropping like a rock instead.

Good changes. Wish they had waited to release PS2 until mid 2013. PS2 might eventually be a good, fun game, but we might lose half the player base by the time that happens due to major issues not being addressed.
I just feel there is nothing to really play for. Resources are meaningless. We fight in the same area all the time because of the map layout and permanent warpgates. There are no achievements to work for other than a boring 1000 kill award. SOE, we need MUCH more to keep people interested, and these were things that were pointed out in beta. |

nice patchnotes!
and nice to know, the devs are not too sad, that most of the latest feedback was kind of rude and negative! they still listen to us and want to make the game what it deserves to be! great! thanks devs! keep it up! what about adding ps1 style doors and reintroduce doorhacking? to add another benefit for defenders. and to reintroduce the necessity of organised maxcrashes

Try this Herb Crusted Pork recipe, or contribute your own.
I saw this recipe in the January Weight Watchers magazine. Ive adapted it slightly to take account of the vegetables etc. which I had available, but its enjoyable and fairly simple to make. Chop the vegetables and lay in the bottom of a roasting tin along with the tinned tomatoes and juice. Mix bread crumbs, basil, sage, salt pepper, garlic and tomato puree together. Cover one side of the pork steaks with this mixture and lay them on the vegetables breadcrumb side uppermost. Roast for 30 minutes or until cooked at 190 degrees centegrade gas mark 5 or 375 degrees Farenheit. 123 Success points per serving is 6.5. Incidentally, the recipe serves 4.

I knew I needed to get Carmine a Daddy type in order to keep him truly turned on for doing adult video. And you can see them fuck bareback!
This gallery contains images of unsafe sex practices, also known as barebacking. Engaging in sexual practices without the use of a condom is a risky and unnecessary behavior. There are a lot of studios including the one listed on this page that film bareback or have bareback scenes in their content libraries. The images presented below should only be used for fantasy and you should not deceive yourself into thinking that "everyone is doing it." Further, you should not assume that just because you see photos or film content of barebacking that sexually transmitted diseases have been miraculously cured. HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are very real and potentially lethal. Please practice safe sex in your own life and educate yourself regarding the dangers of not wearing a condom before having sexual encounters. Visit AMFAR for more information about safer sex.

Ticket #9257 (closed bug: duplicate)
Disappearing Background Bug in IE8... Revisited

Hi, I filed bug #9093 a week ago, regarding disappearing backgrounds in old opera. (It's currently stuck on 'needs review' but seeing as it's closed, it probably won't get reviewed.)
Anyway, same thing happening in IE8, the same cause too: the fix to #9028 is causing the body background to vanish. This seems to occur if you load jquery after the body element has been created.
I couldn't do a jsfiddle, it was running too slow in IE8, so I uploaded a test case here:

The key link between government and banks possibly comes from their key roles in managing transportation of goods and people. If so, then when transportation is way off of expectations, we would have many of us waiting for government action on transportation.

Assuming the interviewee quit a job making more money to work at his start-up then he is likely wrong about how the court would view his responsibilities to his children. The judge would tell him to get a job.
There is a tinge of MRA on this article btw
@sarahsayssoo you think so? I didn't really get that vibe. I think the passive digs at exes are more sour grapes than anything.
@aeroaeroaero yeah, I kinda got that feeling too. But that might just be divorce resentment. the stuff about the unfair child support is ridiculous.
@sarahsayssoo FWIW, the startup predates the divorce, I'm pretty sure, and this dude is so not about "men's rights" and all the mishigas that connotes. I actually interviewed a couple other divorcees (men and women), but like me, they had pretty amicable money relationships with their exes. I figured that since my own situation is amicable, it would be good to probe the situation of someone who has had a rougher go of it so I could give another perspective.
Of course, it's impossible to impart in a short article, but truly, he and his ex are generally pleasant and reasonable. For me, the takeaway is that money is hard to talk about and divorce is hard to go through, so divorce + Money leads to struggle (not always, but often).
@sarahsayssoo Yeah, I lost any sympathy with this dude after "She's technically the "residential custodian," which means she gets their mail and demands tribute from me." Oh, your share of the economic responsibility for the children you produced is "tribute"? Interesting. Maybe it was meant lightheartedly but that is some PA lightheartedness if so.
Phew, this brings up so many emotions for this (now an adult) child of divorced children. My parents must have had some seamless way of making sure everything was paid for, because I can't remember money ever changing hands. It does make me curious now, though.
@TrotskyHoldsMyiPod You're super lucky. I witnessed infinity fights about money as well as acted as a courier for checks and cash. I'm over 30 and there are some subjects (old money fights) that if brought up are sure to bring on hours of muttering.
@TrotskyHoldsMyiPod My parents kept a joint bank account that they both made deposits to (based on how much money they both made and the % of time we spent with each parent), and all of our expenses came out of that. Of course, minus the split with the contributions, that's how they handled most of the "kid" expenses before they got divorced, so I think it was just simpler to keep things going that way.
@garli I hear you. To this day, my father insists he helped my mother pay for my college. He did not. My mother is inclined to just let it slide, especially since she rarely has to deal with him, but it is an instant rage inducer for me.
@Beaks That makes sense. And since I am not inclined to ask either of my parents about that time in our lives, I think I'll just assume that's what they did!

Dear Readers,
The Mexican has published only one best-of column in his nearly four years living under his cousin's identity in this country, but I must pull this week's first pregunta out of the archives because ustedes keep asking it — obviously, not enough of you bought my paperback, since it's on page 192! The second question, on the other hand, is brand-new. Now, back to smuggling more illegals across the Arizona desert...
Dear Mexican,
Why do Mexicans swim in the ocean with their clothes on? I mean, denim?!
Vicente Fox's Mustache
I know this might be a seasonal question, but why do Mexicans like swimming in their clothes? Is it a Catholic thing? I remember as a child growing up in the San Fernando Valley in California that my pocho Catholic cousin even bathed at home in his T-shirt and underwear through his adolescence. He claims the nuns told him it was a sin to be naked.
Huntington Beach Baboso
I am half-Mexican myself but just don't understand — why do Mexicans wear their clothes when swimming? They are the only people at a beach or public swimming spot who do it. Very bizarre — please explain!
Dear Pochos,
This is by far the most-asked question in ¡Ask a Mexican! history. So, to todos ustedes, I have my own question: Are you all brown chubby chasers? Like gabachos, an alarming number of Mexicans are out of shape. According to a 2003 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 24 percent of Mexico's population is overweight. That's the second-highest obesity rate in the world following — wait for it — ¡los Estados Unidos! (The Mexican's present-day note: a 2008 study found the same results. I'd cite the exact survey, but here comes la migra — gotta run!) Unlike gabachos, Mexicans respect the public when it comes to flashing our flabby chichis, pompis and cerveza guts — so when we're out near the pool or by the beach, we cover up. It ain't Catholicism, machismo or an homage to our swim across the Rio Grande. It's good manners.
Dear Mexican,
We've noticed that there are lots of ice cream trucks driven by Mexicans that seem patronized almost exclusively by Mexicans. We've come to the conclusion that Mexicans love ice cream even more than white women. Why do Mexicans love ice cream so much?
Nice Dreams
Dear Gabachos,
The easy answer is that ice cream is muy bueno; the easier respuesta is that Mexican ice cream is better than the stuff sold by gabachos. In addition to the tried-and-verdadero flavors stocked at Baskin-Robbins, Mexicans concoct wonders drawn from our many indigenous fruits — mango, papaya, tamarind, the football-shaped mamey, prickly pear fruit, and the crazily named soursop (guanábana in Spanish) are just the tastiest. Then there are the choices that reflect unique Mexican sensibilities — rompope (eggnog, which is much better frozen than sipped) and chongos zamoranos (curdled milk and cinnamon). But we don't content ourselves with just soft-serve; even better are our paletas, rectangular ice pops made from either aguas frescas like watermelon and lemonade or de leche: creamy, luscious, milked-based joys. And the best Mexican frozen delight is actually the raspado, our version of shaved ice, except our syrup is natural and won't kill you with preservatives.

Abstract | In this paper we review how the relative importance of lateral flows and filter effects differs among a number of externalities, and the implications this has for research methods. If flows and filters are incompletely understood, policies maybe based on fallacies. Whereas 'fire-breaks' act as filters in the lateral flow of the high temperature pulse of a fire, smoke from land-based fires can be intercepted only by rainfall acting as a filter and the external impact of smoke is determined by the atmospheric conditions governing lateral flow and chemical transformations along the pathway. Causal relations in smoke and haze problems are relatively simple and may form a basis for designing policy interventions to reduce downwind damage. For biodiversity issues, landscape connectivity, the absence of filters restricting dispersal and movement of organisms, is increasingly recognized as an influence on the dynamics of species richness and its scaling relations. Biodiversity research methods can extend beyond the current descriptive stage into clarifying causal relations with a lateral flow perspective. |

We had a great time on our 7 day Wonder cruise to the Bahamas! Things we loved: Castaway Cay Character meet and greets Palo brunch Our stateroom host (neal) Live music each day Golden Mickeys Dreams Room service coffee ( ordered at night for the next morning) Baked Alaska dessert at Triton's Banana French toast dessert at Parrot Cay Making mocha frappes out of chocolate soft serve and coffee Didn't love as much: Flounder's Nursery- our 18 mo old hated it! There wasn't much for a walking toddler to do there. It got to the point of us walking by the door and he would burst into tears! The crew was wonderful, it just wasn't exciting enough for him. He would have enjoyed the time more in the kids club. Splash Zone- too small for a full ship. It was the only place our DS could play. Nassau- we lasted about 1 hour, then headed back to the ship. Toy Story Musical - a little boring Would we do it again?? Absolutely!!! But, we would wait until the kids are at least 3. They seem to get much more out of it. Overall, it was a wonderful trip! We are sad to leave!
Welcome back Jasmine! I'll be on your cruise itinerary 3 weeks from today. How were the Halloween events? Was the movement of the ship impacted by the tropical storm?
The halloween events were great! There was a Halloween deck party that we all loved! We did not stay up for the costume contests, but did all of the dance parties in costume and met the characters in their costumes as well. Yes, we had one rough night from the storm when we encountered 15 ft waves. But, it was in the middle of the night, so we were in bed, thank goodness! It was not as bad as we thought it would be. Have a great cruise!
Glad you had a great trip. Question 1) what movies are showing in the boat 2) how was pirate night 3) what you do in Nassau? 4) How is the weather in the islands 5) what did you do in key west. This will be our first cruise with our girls. Most important question how did the Wonder look?
so glad you had a great time and that the storm didn't get in the way too much! What time was the Halloween deck party? afternoon? evening?
1.Monsters U Planes Lone Ranger Brave There were a few more, but I don't remember 2. Pirate night was fun. The deck party started at 9:45 and fireworks were at 10:15. A little late for the little ones... Ours crashed as soon as we got to deck 9 for the party. They serve a delicious dessert on the pirate menu - banana French toast with coconut ice cream! 3. Unfortunately we didn't stay long in Nassau. We just walked the town a bit and headed back. There was alot of pressure to take tours and buy things, which bugged us. But, many others went to Atlantis, Junkanoo beach, and I am sure other excursions. We loved being on the empty ship this day. Our son met so many characters with no lines at all! 4. Weather on the islands was hot! But, it did not bother us at Castaway. The water was so nice and we had such a great time. 5. At key west, we tried delicious conch fritters, ate key lime pie at kermits, and walked the city. We heard great things about butterfly world, but never made it there. 6. The wonder was BEAUTIFUL!!! We loved the ship! Have a great trip!
The deck party for Halloween was 7:30, I think..... It was shortly after our dinner. Then, they had another family dance party in studio sea later that night.
Yes. You are assigned one day for a character breakfast at Parrot Cay. Ours was Thursday. The characters we saw for breakfast were Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy. They rotate around the restaurant and visit each table once. The kids loved it!
I will try! We have a long drive home and plans this evening.. But, once I unpack, I will try to post!
Thank you. Don't stress over it. We understand as we will have a 12 hour drive home ourselves. I would be happy to see one sea day navigator to get an idea. Safe travels.
I just posted about the Halloween activities in the Fantasy Halloween thread. I'll copy it here at the end of this post. We had a great cruise too. We were a bit disappointed in the Halloween festivities. I mean, it was something extra, so no real complaints. It just seemed a little lackluster, sort of like an executive made a decision and didn't give his staff time or money to do it right. There was a deck party, which was characters in costumes dancing and music. They did a costume "parade," but it was not really anything to write home about. Basically anyone who wanted to went up one staircase on Deck 9, up to Deck 10, walked across to the other side and back down to Deck 9. My family jumped out of the slowly sauntering line half way. It just seemed rather pointless. There was a "Halloween Bash" in Studio Sea...again, a dance party. We left after about 20 minutes so I'm not sure what happened at the end. No characters while we were there. The adult costume contest was at 10:30. Staff members had cards to hand out for "finalists" in each category. We arrived at 10:25 and all the cards had been given out, so anyone arriving on time wasn't called to the stage for a category. This resulted in some very good unique costumes being excluded and some very mediocre, store bought costumes coming forward. The club host did have all the others come forward for his choice, so that was nice. It also seemed like the staff didn't have a good grasp of their categories...Cleopatra in spookiest, Fiona in Most Disney, etc. I assume with some more experience they'll get that down better. Unless i missed something, the awards for the costume contest were the same old Mickey medals. I've seen other cruise lines give out t-shirts, keychains, bottles of champagne, etc. They had Halloween merchandise for sale on the ship and that would have made great prizes, even if it was just for one grand prize award and not for each category. The dining rooms had some amazing carved pumpkins and some other fun decorations. We were given a chocolate mousse spider at dinner that the kids loved, and it tasted great. There were also some more minor Halloween things in the Navigator...family crafts and themed bingo. We had a lot of fun dressing up, and we are happy for the opportunity. It just wasn't what we were expecting. Maybe we misunderstood, but everyone we talked to on board was under the impression that the kids would get to trick or treat. Instead we got a bag with a handful of candy in our room. The festivities were just not appropriate for our young children, who bore easily with the dance party concept (especially when pirate night the day before). With a family of 5, the costumes were a lot of work and luggage space. If we're we're to do it again, we'd all wear the animal masks available during one of the family craft times.
Other movies I remember we're Wreck it Ralph and Lincoln. We had PTAPTAP for our dining rotation and our character breakfast was Friday. 8 am for early seating. Our servers were Richard (head), Rakesh (server), and Christina (asst.)...best servers we've had on any line/any cruise. The princesses were amazing on this ship. We did the Princess Gathering the first sea day and they spent a nice amount of time with our kids. Result was a slow moving line, so get there early. I got in line at 11:15 (noon start) and was probably 8-10 families back. Tea was offered 4 pm on first and last sea days. Ariel and Tiana were there, chocolate chip cookies and apple juice. Tiana knew my girls' names because she apparently had spent some time with them in the nursery before that. The nursery was overwhelming. My girls did fine and the staff was amazing. There were just a lot of little ones on board so they were busy. Seemed to be a lot more screaming toddlers in there so that made it a bit worse...kids feed off each other. I have no idea how the staff can work with the kids day in and day out. They must have nerves of steel!
I can tell you what the movies were: Saturday - Wreck it Ralph and Iron Man 3 Sunday - Brave, Monsters University, Iron Man 3, Snow White Monday - Finding Nemo, Oz the Great & Powerful, Lincoln, Monsters University Tuesday -Wreck It Ralph, The Avengers, Oz the Great & Powerful, Lone Ranger Wednesday - Monsters University, Iron Man 3, Planes, The Avengers Thursday - Monsters University, Planes, The Lone Ranger, Iron Man 3 Friday - Planes, Monsters University and The Lone Ranger. Dining & Show Schedule: Saturday - Depart - Cruise Casual - All Aboard: Let the Magic Begin Sunday - At Sea - Formal - The Golden Mickeys Monday - Key West - Cruise Casual - Showtime with Michael Harrison Tuesday - Castaway Cay - Pirate or Cruise Casual - Movie Special: Planes 3D Wednesday - Nassau - Halloween or Cruise Casual - Toy Story Thursday - At Sea - Semi Formal - Disney Dreams: An Enchanted Classic Friday - At Sea - Cruise Casual - Remember The Magic: A Final Farewell I have all of the Navigators scanned, but I am out of time to be able to do more with them. I have them all scanned as one large pdf. They aren't the best quality but if anyone would like to see them, send me a pm with your email address.
The food was wonderful on this cruise. I can only think of a few misses for me. The steaks were very good, the fish was well prepared. The shrimp on the buffet was fresh and tasty. I don't usually eat cold shrimp as it can be a bit fishy, but not on the Wonder. I probably ate two plates over the course of the cruise! The desserts were 10x better than what we had on the Magic earlier this year. The ice cream machine on the pool deck also had some good flavors like strawberry, blueberry, mango, and banana. If you aren't doing much in Nassau, the characters will be up by the pool around noon. There wasn't a photographer, but there were only three or four families there when we saw Minnie and Goofy.
Are there any late night Dance parties with oldies rock, or the old line dances (Macarena, Electric Slide, etc.)? As an older woman traveling alone, just wondering if I'll have an opportunity to join in anything like that.

I noticed that a significant difference between other getpass implementations and glibc/gnulib's is that the latter allocate the output buffer. This makes the gnulib 'getpass' module (not the 'getpass-gnu' module) rather difficult to use: how do you know whether to de-allocate the returned string or not? It depends on whether the system function or the gnulib replacement was used. Another way of looking at this is that there is a memory leak in the gnulib 'getpass' module. As a minimum, the following seemed appropriate.

Poetry Potluck #27 "Lies, Deception & Misrepresentation" |
Reactions: |
One man will use deceit to gain the favor of a vulnerable woman, another man will use truth no matter the personal cost to himself.
One woman will accept dishonesty in her desire to gain a mans favor and feel his Love, while yet another woman with courage will walk away from desire in order to stay true to her self.
Where is the balance between Love and Desire? Right and Wrong?
Beautiful woman, your splendor is far greater than the lie, and yet, with invisible tears, I can taste your sorrow for the gifts of romance and love.
Your choice of poems lately have been very thought provoking Andy. Thank you for sharing your poetry and allowing your readers to voice their thoughts and comments.It's a privilege to watch and be a part of your journey as a poet.
Beauty and the Lie...wow! Andy, your poems never cease to amaze me. The way you can express your feelings is awesome. There is much truth in the things a man will tell a woman to get what he wants. And many times a woman is so lonely and vulnerable that she is blind to what this type of man is telling her. How insightful for her true friend to express his feelings and try to open her eyes to these kind of men.
ReplyDeleteGood story, but not all us men are like this...there are still some good and truthful ones out there.

DarkStarChristopher, A agree for the most part, although don't forget however much money the bike path has leeched over the last 6 years. Actually I see school funding as much the same issue as this because Dunkirk, and many other local schools cost an obscene amount, especially when you consider how few students are actually in those districts. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » rightwinglibYOUNG IS A SELF-SERVING LIB WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE COMMONER.

Disgusting! Not good news, it's a disgusting display of corruption, vote buying and in my opinion pure arrogance! 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » DUHnkirkI hope Catharine Young defines "successful" for us... 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » DarkStarMore money down the toilet. One would think that with something as "successful" as they claim this one is they would be constatly listing at least some of these successes, but as it is it appears the only realy thing it has succeded in doing is leeching millions of tax dollars from those working in the state. 3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » commentorMoney for everything but schools.

I would like to update 3 rows of a single table, with different values each.
The way I see it I could either...
Option 1.
Simply create a PHP loop, and run a query for each row I'd like to update. (this is the 'classic' approach, maybe).
Option 2.
Follow the approach of combining into a single query, but that uses syntax that I have heard is slower, depending on the situation. (example copied from: this website):
UPDATE mytable
SET myfield = CASE other_field
WHEN 1 THEN 'value'
WHEN 2 THEN 'value'
WHEN 3 THEN 'value'
END WHERE id IN (1,2,3)
Which is a better, faster option?
