Judge to Mom: 'You Don't Spank Children'
Filed under: In The News
To spank or not to spank? At least one judge says don't even go there.
No, Rosalina Gonzales wasn't put behind bars for spanking her toddler, but prosecutors and a judge in Corpus Christie, Texas, let it be known that whacking a kid on the rear will land parents in hot water -- and possibly prison.
KZTV, the local CBS affiliate, reports Gonzales was arrested last year for Injury to a Child after her then 2-year-old's grandma took the girl to the hospital after spotting red marks on her behind.
Gonzales plead guilty this week, according to the station, in exchange for serving five years probation, agreeing to take parenting classes and paying $50 to the Children's Advocacy Center.
"You don't spank children today," 214th District Court Judge Jose Longoria told Gonzales, KZTV reports. "In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don't spank children. You understand?"
Gonzales is trying to regain custody of her two children, including the one who was spanked, according to the station, but they will stay with their paternal grandmother until the state agrees her home is safe.
What do you think? Should spanking be an issue for the courts? Join the discussion on Facebook!

carole said...you hit it right on the nail...All it takes is a spanking and then a threat of such...second time usually doesn't happen...AFTER the spanking you explain why.....You are right about them not learning respect. I raised 7 children and when they did wrong they got it. That judge should go to juvinale court and listen to the cases. If these kids were made accountable for their actions they would not be in court. If they don't repect their parents they won't respect the law....I would tell them..first offense and I do not help you out.You pay for your acts...When I was a child we had to kneel on closepins...I knew enough not to break house law...I was in foster parents...we were on a farm, worked hard, and believe it or not, those are my best memories...I knew what was expected of me, and when I did good..I was given responsibilities..I had a relative who gave her son everything because she did not want to lose his love, well one day he knocked her out, he married 7 times and had children, the women divorced him and didn't ask for any support they just wanted to get rid of him...Only had one kid got in trouble and today he is a highway policeman...I don't mean beat them, but maybe God made the rear end for just such a corporal punishment...as I said, it wasnt violent, but stung and only had to do it once...a threat of it was enough for heads up. I imagine it is hard if you only have one child, you want them to have everything..but in the end...they want it all, but don;t want to earn it themselves...today kids have every new electronic item that comes along...wrong....dress like slobs or sluts and get away with it...so those kids are potential juvies.
Gunsmoke said...I Agree, Some troubled teens Nowadays Should thank the flawed system for butting in to their parents Life whose only crime was to prevent their Kids From Becoming a Human Waste.
chvol said...Studies show that children who are spanked are much more likely to end up criminals as adults. Think about it logically:
Every time you spank a child, you have just witnessed a child who does not know how to behave. And when you spank him, he simply stops whatever he's doing without knowing why it is wrong. Ewvery time you spank him is an acknowledgement that you have failed to teach him right from wrong.
It takes time, but parents need to take the time to explain to their children what is right and what is wrong. Otherwise, what happens when they grow up and the parents aren't there to spank them them?
The only thing you teach a child when you spank them is that if someone is doing something you don't like, you should hit them. Is it no wonder that when they grow up they end up in jail for assaulting people?
If there is more than one child in a family, as soon as the parents start striking one of them, they start striking each other.
kell hoovler said...douglecandy,
100% correct....AND the judge is an idiot..... Courtney....respect is EARNED, not demanded. Respect your teachers and they will respect you.
LeVette said...Please write it in the sky. Parents look up! That same unruly kid could some day sit behind the desk at the social security office.
Messa said...You HAVE to spank a 2 year old because you cannot reason with them. You cannot say to a 2 year old "If you run out into the street, you will get hit by a car and die and you will never come back." They are too young to understand that. They can't get their little heads around it. Pain, they understand. I'm not saying beat them, but yes, they have to be spanked when they are young.
chvol said...Do you realize that there are nonviolent ways to discipline a child? Do you realize that using violence against a child teraches them that violence is ok? And that they become more violent themselves?
kat61969 said...Sorry Courtney, but even though you might know the stuff or think you are smarter than the teacher, you still treat your superiors with respect. I have worked for bosses where I was hands down the smarter one, but I didn't act disrespectfully to them. It's just not the way to handle it.
Kathy Thomas said...Amen and double Amen! There are so many generations now that have no respect for any thing and no accountability to anyone. I fear we may have lost the battle if not the war.
joeguy731 said...If you're spanking your child to vent your anger at them then that is abuse.
Betty said...You are right on. We are admonished to train up a child in the way it ought to go. If a parent spanks, and explains why and gives the child love, chances are, they will become a good citizen. If you truly love your child you will try to teach him he can`t have everything his way.
Julia said...Todays children are not held accountable anymore. More of them need a good swat every once in while. That is what is wrong with society today, we beg our children to behave when we should be discipling them. There is a huge difference between a beating and a spanking, I'm not saying that we should be beating them, but a spanking when they get out of line is not abuse.
jodysdetails said...You are exactly right! Get the government and "PC" police out of our lives!
Lionel said...Well put dougalcandy. Was just about to write something very similar. I'd like to know if this Judge has ever had children. People that do not have to raise children should be GIVEN some of those undisciplined brats for a few months and show us all how to 'talk' and 'reason' with all from toddlers to teenagers. Children left and right now will dial 911 and have their parents arrested. This judge prefers this. OR, this judge may have a very big financial interest in juvenile detention centers, as that is where this 'no spanking or else jail' policy will lead. This particular horror of 'child protection' contradicts even the bible which, in Hebrews, states: Any father who does not discipline his son does not love him. So that's what we can look forward to? Less love and MORE jail? People have been stomping on the bible over homosexuals--which isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the bible--yet this little tenet goes overlooked since the late 70s... Right around the time the prison population exploded. Doesn't anyone else notice this simple 'cause and effect' issue?
MIKE OLD SCHOOL said...I gree 100 percent. Today kids need mommy and daddy to hold their hands for everything. They don't know how to respect their parents and that is why they don't repect anyone else either. they are a bunch of non productiive people that only care about thier latest tattoos or piercings and what kind of car they drive and shoes they wear. Whatever it is they want their parents make sure they get it. The most successful CEO's of the largest companies were disciplined as children. I remember one time getting soap in my mouth and also red pepper.. Myself and my brother were spanked as two boys trying to make trouble. WE ARE HERE AND OF SANE MIND WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL to get thru life or the day! GROW UP AND STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS... FCK the JUDGE and HER opinions... WE THE PEOPLE.... Abuse is not a SPANKING GET IT!!!!!

Why would you stand still when, assuming you have ~3000 spirit, you could essentially cast Heal for free? There is no more 5sr, so there is no benefit to not casting at all times. Period. Even if Heal is going to overheal the tank, do it. Every bit can help & it will keep your Chakra going. Why would you bubble? It's terribly mana inefficient and doesn't heal for much. You'd be waaaay better off using Heal than PW:S, except on encounters like Halfus with the healing debuff. The only time PW:S should really be used as a Holy Priest is for B&S.
In 10 mans, yes. If you're just talking about the raid and not tanks, there are plenty of moments where the tank is the only person taking damage.

ummm but if you over heal with heal you just lost mana you could been using for something else (unless your FM then you lost nothing)
For example, lets say your job is raid healing. PoH is better HPM than Heal, if you're sitting at 50% mana and tank healers are doing just fine why waste mana to cast a crappy heal on them when would could but putting the mana you would lose casting heal to the cost of your next POH?
For example lets say you regen 5k mana every 2 seconds (for simple math)
You have a haste 2 sec heal that cast cost 3k mana.
You cast Heal and over heal and gain 2k mana
or you don't do anything and gain 5k mana
Which would make you more efficient?
Heal isn't a waste if you're refreshing renew.
Do you do 10m at all? Because you can't heal with that mentality in 10m. Good try though. I don't lose mana on Heal. How many times do I have to say that? If I stay at the same mana and assisted other healers, then I did my job. Do I cast Heal on the tank every waking moment in 25s, no. Because 25s is a completely different story. I was talking about 10m, sorry if I wasn't clear.
That doesn't change the fact that the other guy said he bubbles, so you can only take his advice like a grain of salt as well.
And if you're not casting heal on the tank it's still beneficial to be pre-casting your next raid heal/whatever heal with cancel casting instead of just standing there waiting around. People that just stand and wait around are reactive healers, not proactive and obviously don't understand each fight thoroughly and its mechanics.

Actually, when you said that "no one is taking damage", I included the tanks. I was taking you literally, because all and by itself, the quote was ... odd . When no one (that means no one, no healers, no DPS, no tanks) is taking damage, then casting any healing spell is a waste of mana to begin with (unless of course to refresh Renew on the tank). I will immediately state that you can't waste mana on spells you interrupt .
You both (zenkai and Mazi) seem to be correct. However you are argueing against each other while taking the actualy healing needed out of context. For instance..
You are absolutely right Mazi in saying Heal isn't a waste is you are refreshing renew. However you were argueing that you should always be casting Heal if you don't need to cast anything else.
Mazi, you are definately wrong about casting Heal not being a waste of mana if refreshing renew is unneeded and the tank has 100% health. Sure you would gain back the mana spent from regen, but as zenkai pointed out you would not gain as much back as if you hadn't casted it at all. So what you were saying would only apply if you were already at max mana. If you were to compare mana regen to simple economics there is a cost for everything, time. Time in relationship to regen.
Also, a lot of damage is predictable. I don't recall if zenkai specifically said he wasn't cancel casting or not. However from a mana regen standpoint, it is the same.
Saying all of that, Mazi is correct from a more practical standpoint. That is because tanks are not going to be at 100% life often or for very long at that. Therefore any damage that needs to be healed on the tank will be healed. Using Heal when it is safe to do so is your best HPM option. From zenkai's strategy you would regen more mana, but the healing still has to be done. So instead of using Heal early, you will be forced to use a lower HPM spell.

Because it's sharing the load. After the first Heal, whether it's overheal or not, your tank healers can also go "light" and be doing "better than fine". With the exception of Chimaeron on Normal, there isn't really a fight where tank healers get to stop casting and regen mana. So using your time to split the damage means you both take advantage of time for a blue bar, instead of just the "raid healer".
And last I checked, the tank counts as part of the "raid", and will be taking more damage than anyone else through the course of the encounter, so they can always use the healing. But of course, for someone to value crit, has vocally said haste is unnecessary, it's really starting to show.
I suggest you quit now, while you're behind, zenkai.

~When you speak, I hear silence. Every word a defiance~
Thank you ruzhy6 for make it clear, my point was to him you can't just be casting spells just to be casting spells
Typically tank healers seem to have more mana than raid healers, yes sharing the load is ideal but my point is you also have to manage your mana any good healer can look at other healers mana pool and judge to help out with that persons job or not. Lets say for example I was being bad and trying to top HPS meters and spamming the raid with POH over and over but im down to 20% mana and everyone else is averaging 80%. I would back off on healing and let my mana regen up some and only throw out heals if needed (like someone is in danger of dying) This is also called "sharing the load"
Now if I am raid healing and the raid is topped off and I know I have plenty of mana to spare of course I will be helping out with tanks.
I know my example isn't ideal but I hope you understand my point. Healing is about keeping the raid alive as a team, not about topping meters, it's teamwork.
EDIT - Note that this is mostly talking about a 25 mana environment, if you're 2 healing a 10 man, obviously you will be casting full time no matter what in most situations (unless maybe you're 3 healing it to be safe)
I have no idea why you really harping on the whole crit and haste thing (especially since this post never contained anything about haste and crit until I was attacked), I have explained my self through and through on this subject and I feel I am beating a dead horse because either you chose to ignore what I am talking about or something is being lost in the reading comprehension. I do admit when it comes to spelling and grammar I am pretty horrible at it.And last I checked, the tank counts as part of the "raid", and will be taking more damage than anyone else through the course of the encounter, so they can always use the healing. But of course, for someone to value crit, has vocally said haste is unnecessary, it's really starting to show.
I suggest you quit now, while you're behind, zenkai.
I do value haste (as I have posted a topic on haste vs mast), it is not worthless my whole point about haste is it is a primarily throughput stat and that encounters are designed to be able to be healed without haste. If you need to cast .25 seconds faster then you're being a reactive healer instead of a proactive healer. The point is you don't need to stack haste, maybe in heroic fights when throughput is more intensive (the 4 I have healed I never felt I needed to cast faster) then Yes haste will gain in value until you start to outgear it then it becomes less value (unless you want to be a meter cheater and try to snipe heals)
So am I right to assume that if my ideas expressed is different from the vast majority, instead of being proven why I am wrong, I deserve instead to be subjected to ridicule and attacks saying I am a bad Priest and that I lose "all credibility" just because I have a different healing style?

I think why you've been getting alot of flack is because holy priests get enough crit from int/heal chakra, so getting more crit is wasting stat points that would be better spend in haste or mastery.
Once you get 12.5% haste for the extra tick in renew, it puts renew at roughly the same mana cost as heal. Renew + Divine touch heals 16000hp in total on average(not counting crits) for 4020mana, Heal heals roughly 8000 for 1853 mana.
None of my gear has crit on it, yet i have a 9% crit chance (+10% in heal chakra)
So yeah.. you should give it a shot, it might improve your healing.
I don't think this is all that accurate. Encounters aren't designed for people to have poor gear. I would say that it is likely encounters are designed to have a rough minimum sustained HPS output as well as sustaining that HPS from managing HPM. Haste increases your HPS, so I believe it is safe to say that encounters are designed to require at least a decent amount of haste.

Jay, I understand and agree with a lot what you're saying but you're jumping in the middle of a conversation that's actually like 4 weeks back.
TLDR I understand priest mechanics w/ haste than most and no I DONT STACK CRIT. (nor do I stack haste) And the 12.5% rule is rather useless in a raid environment as any good Holy priest will not be spamming renew on the raid
There are other ways of getting HPS other than haste... I can't think of one fight that I couldn't heal because I needed haste and I have healed every single Heroic and every single normal raid fight as holy. I have even tanked healed a couple of heroic raids and I did fine with 6.6% haste (+darkness and raid buff)
What I am trying to say, without purposely trying to stack haste or reforge haste, I am getting enough haste from talents/raid buff and gear to heal successful. Majority of the reason my raid fails on any progression fight is usually due to failed mechanics not lack of healing.
You're the one who trolled me and now you saying you should just ignore me? I wish you had done that in the beginning then this post wouldn't be so off topic.

Since it'll overheal not heal is better. Sharing the load can mean alot of things. Since I generally raid heal I don't get much time on the tanks since the burden will be on the those healers at first. Gradually as they start to run down, let's say 75% you yourself will have mana to spend on tanks as well as raid. I find it REALLY useless healing ( Note: This is 25man )
As for 10man there is less people, and more reliant on the healers heals than only their assignment. Depending on this the situation I really can't agree with you on this point even though I mostly do. Tank healing assignmented healers usually got easier way of tank healing than what a holy priest would bring.
Let's say you're running with holy paladin, resto druid or a resto shaman as Zenkai says gives better mana results in tank healing that what this topic ( Holy priest does ) Overheal or not, if I can regen mana and burst for AoE damage. Or when tank is about to take a chunk of load I find it alot better [due to our regen ]. Council after an Aegis for example in where I'll have the mana to AoE heal up people, assist the damage on Ignacious tank right afterwards. Then it's a brief moment where I generally regen mana and heal whenever necessary since the damage going out isn't huge.
And Kelseti, as a forum moderator such of a comment really is so much off topic it can be. Don't go devaluing others opinions and he hasn't " vocally said " that haste is unnecessary. And going around down grading people like that made me lose the creds for you. This topic isn't about stat value as which is has turned out to be. So don't rumble around too much off topic even though you're a Forum Moderator, I believe you got certain restrictions as well right?
It looks like people really can't grasp the concept of what I wrote before?
Really, improving healing can be done in many ways in many kind of structure that you find. Then there will always be this so called " Better than other Discussion in gear, stats etc " in which the vast majority "will" be stuck on.
If people had read my post I've clearly stated the beneficial ways of each stat and that no stat is better nor a stat is worse. IF you're open minded and understanding then you'd probably not be having this discussion. But since people can't seem to alter with others' opinions and go by the " Haste is BETTER than critt, or MASTERY is BETTER than Haste etc,etc I don't realy see you meeting each other nowhere.
So could we have a better discussion than personal accusings? This is just not helping the OP nowhere. All I see is the pointless argue rather than comprehending and philosophy the way of a healer.
Gonna make an add in to the " why should I cast a heal even if it over heal? ". Like I said this is a matter of role and what way your guild/raid has assigned the team work as. When I run hard mode I'm mostly given the part of "Raid Healing" and taking care of the burst AoE damage that'll come out. For doing so I will need certain preparations. - I run with ARCHANGEL spec - .
!#&!#!# OH NO ! Archangel spec is BAAAD as holy priest !#&#!
This is where my point is, since my role is to take care of heavy AoE damage along my fellow priest partner. We have the time, to prepare x5 stacks of Evangelism as well conserving the mana to heal. People say that a "Heal" would light out on the tank healers? ---> THIS IS where the difference between --> 10 <---- & --> 25 <--- lies.
In 10man you'll have to be more of an active healer, for 25 man you'll have as I've said previously, " phases " in which you'll find a way to regen more than others. By using these you'll be mana conservative as well not Overhealing. Keeping renew up etc,etc is basic stuffs. Don't go on with that crap. It's 1 of the guidelines, isn't it?
Back to my example - Archangel spec favors 25man raids due to the phases I'll have to burst but also Regen mana. Depending on the fight ( read my previous post ) it's all about predicting. And that you need to trust your fellow healers. Not healing is bad, but overhealing and wasting mana is more bad than to " not heal ". I may not be on top of the charters in normal mode due to paladins working overtime, I may not be healing as well as those, but I do my share of the load and they do theirs on the tanks as I do mine on the raid ( Holy perspective ).
If I were to heal and my regen is just as good making it " free " doesn't seriously mean it'll be free since I still regen and if I'm low already I will regen less mana ( if it's an overheal ) than if I wouldn't have healed at all. Since the mana it takes to regen that heal that would overheal is less mana reg than if I hadn't healed and saved that 2,1 cast time of heal and mana instead.
Now, the OO5R is gone but each cast is a mana drain even if it's a cheap heal that'll regen fast. So just don't go by a simple fact it's better to always cast than to not.
>>> This is very much off topic but I want to clarify that no one is right nor wrong, since healing is all about perspective and different situations. <<< and it's hilariously annoying reading those stupid " assumptions " people throw out.
Going back on topic: To improve your healing I've stated the overall facts any healer need to consider. Then as you can see there are those debates about which one is better. And it can get out of hand sometimes. But yeah, I really got nothing more to add to improve healing rather than if you, the OP got questions yourself.
lol... cast heal even when it doesn't need to be cast... that's awesome Mazi... such a comedian. But seriously, bubble/renew is fine to cast and can often mean the difference between whether or not a target dies. 2 instant casts to keep them up, binding, Greater Heal or Serenity Heal and you're laughing.
I suspect while you're wasting time casting useless heals you're not moving, so the instances where you'd be standing in fire etc would be very high.
Mazi despite the fact that you can recover the cost of throwing Heal spells around constantly, you're ruining the rate at which you recover your mana fully, seriously its like the worst idea ever.

To be honest the last page hasn't really given me more knowledge about what i would need to do to be a better holy priest. Random arguing isn't very constructive so i'll bring the post back on topic;
1) Healing addons: This hasn't been discussed so far, and while i do understand that it's all about preferance (Vuhdo,GRID,Default Blizz Raid Frames,Healbot etc) i would still like to hear your reasoning for why you use the healing addon and what it is that makes it so great.
For instance i've been a GRID user since i started healing in TBC with my draenei shaman and it's worked perfectly on bleeding-edge boss encounters. I was watching a tutorial on chimaeron an hour ago (we've been farming the fight aside from last reset where 2/3 healers were puged and they kept failing) and noticed the guy having Vuhdo with a cool blinking icon that popped up as soon as someone was under 10k hp. Although i can do perfectly fine without and have no problems seeing who needs to be healed, that kind of a thing really makes it a lot easier. As for myself, i haven't configured GRID (the new interface is seriously confusing me, back when i used it years ago it was different and easier for me to go about) for encounters such as Chimaeron. Haven't really had the need to, but i'm starting to think perhaps Vuhdo is more customizable? I haven't tried vuhdo myself mainly because it's been said it takes a while to get into things and I wanted to prioritise the fundamentals of healing before playing around with another adon. So, what are your thoughts on these addons and do you customize them for every fight?
2) Positioning: I'm becoming more aware of my positioning again now that i'm not spending as much time focusing on the healing aspect (still fresh, it's a work in progress). I don't excactly need advice on where to stand or the like, but it'd be nice to hear if you guys have any tips or any nifty ways of maximising positioning on the different Cataclysm raid encounters in order to max your healing. This is especially vital in 10man raids as far as i've seen and thus would be nice to hear what people think about it.
And by the way, try not to bash on others' PoVs just because you disagree. If something is plain wrong, that's one thing. But so far in this post it's been a mere difference in opinion and what each and every one value more. I'd like this post to not only be a place to learn for me, but also any other holy priest frequenting these forums and wanting to improve. So please, less arguing.
I myself never got on the Clique bandwagon. I was one of those idiots that clicked to target people and cast after the fact in TBC. I was using Grid then, and swore by it and its many addons all the way through Wrath.
Wrath also had me picking up mouseover macros, that I still carry through without a single problem, or will ever have to worry about falling out of date.
In 4.0, when Grid wasn't updated, I leaned hard on the default UI, and grew to like it. Even after Grid was "updated", it was bugged and it sucked. So I kept using the new BlizzRaidFrames.
They don't have the time delay that HealBot does. They don't "bug out" or need to be updated (especially to show "boss debuffs"), and they're pretty solid on what they do and are made to go almost out of the box.
That said, the Grid vs. VuhDo debate is still as lively as ever, but VuhDo's been locking people's systems down whenever there's a disconnect.
Positioning on a lot of fights is even more mandatory on 25's than it is on ten, simply because while the population grows, the space doesn't.2) Positioning: I'm becoming more aware of my positioning again now that i'm not spending as much time focusing on the healing aspect (still fresh, it's a work in progress).

This is especially vital in 10man raids as far as i've seen and thus would be nice to hear what people think about it.
I myself like to be a bit farther back than whoever I can be, a few extra yards are nice for moving around and keeping people infront of me helps me adapt to the fight as I need to, instead of DBM or my raidframes telling me that stuff's going down.
As a trick to maximize healing utilisation (not necessarily higher output) is I'm one of those people that hates the "use this on cooldown" mentality. I'll usually hold a Serenity or a cooldown on Circle until I either actually need it, or I have to move. In doing so, my healing might show up like 3% lower than it could be, potentially, but it guarantees that if either situation comes up I'm not reaching for a button that's not there (and potentially letting someone get gibbed because of it).

The "fixed for accuracy" is wrong because all DPS Casters get 2x. For Hybrid DPS Casters they get it directly from their specialization so as to avoid their healing spells getting 2x Crit, but non-hybrid DPS Casters (ie, Mages and Warlocks) innately get 2x Crit. The point I was making is that whether someone crits for 1.5x or 2x is based on their specialization without going into having to clarify that while it's not explicitly stated that each mage and warlock specialization has 2x crits when you select them, they still get it.

I haven't had this issue with VuhDo. Either way, I recommend that any serious raider try VuhDo and Grid and pick the one that they like better, I personally prefer VuhDo, but I don't think the differences are large enough that its worth going into a rage arguing about it.
I do have to say that I highly recommend a click-healing style rather than a hot key style because you have to use you mouse to select targets anyway, so I feel that involving both the mouse and keys, while not slower, does affect my mobility because it forces me to use the fingers I would use for moving to press other keys. Obviously, one can get by with either with enough practice, but I think that it's ultimately more efficient to click.
This is all good stuff. My main raids are 25s and it's important to pay a lot of attention to positioning to minimize movement during heavy casting times and maximize raid coverage. In general, when we're forced to spread out, we tend to keep healers more toward the middle so we all get high raid coverage, though that doesn't work on a fight like Al'Akir.Positioning on a lot of fights is even more mandatory on 25's than it is on ten, simply because while the population grows, the space doesn't.

And also as Kelesti says, mobility is generally even more important in 25s as a direct cause of the added importance of positioning. There are exceptions obviously, but keep in mind when you need to move and make sure you have instants available for that. For example, on Maloriak, when you know it's going to switch colors, or on Atramedes when you know the sound waves are coming and you'll have to dodge them, it's a good idea to have those instants off cool down so your throughput isn't hit as hard.

Currently On Exhibit: A Tale of Two Cities: an exploration of Boston and Quincy images by Isabel C. Shamitz
Throughout the month of April we are proud to present Isabel C. Shamitz's artwork.
"Welcome to A Tale of Two Cities. My name is Isabel Shamitz and I am a fine artist and expert in depicting those special moments and events, against the backdrop of the streets, corners and places of interest in and around the Boston, Massachusetts area. My colorful images, which bind families and friends together, capture the present and evoke the sweet memories that inspire us and enrich our lives and feed our souls... And make life worthwhile and worth living.
Since early childhood, creating art and watching an image come to life on my canvas has given me great satisfaction. My favorite subjects have always been scenes from life; people, places, pets and the humans they own, caught in the act of living, especially against the backdrop of the city streets, for which I have a special affection. Like portraits, cities are living, breathing entities and the energy and intensity of the different elements of the urban setting have always fascinated me.
My style, particularly in my use of color, is one of impressionistic realism; a visual approach that enhances my portraits very well. Revealing the external likenesses of my subjects is only the beginning. Capturing the mood, personality and individuality is my ultimate goal. I want to capture the inner soul of people, pets and city streets and bring them to three-dimensional life on a two-dimensional plane."

hash-2.0.0 has been released please read about it here:
Earlier today, hash-1.99.x was released to CRAN. This is a stable release and adds some more functions to an already full-featured hash implementation. This version fixes some bugs, adds some features, improves performance and stability. You can read about the hash package in my previous blog post, The hash package: hashes come to R. All changes were responsible from users who wrote in and contributed, thoughts, ideas and use cases. Keep the good ideas coming. Two of the major changes are summarized below.
Matthias Buch-Kromann of the Copenhagen Business School recommended the ability to access multiple keys from a single call and even access the same key multiple times. This was previously allowed using the [[
method, but was deprecated. By convention, the [[
method returns only one value. ( You can read about the conventions of this and other R accessors in my previous blog post, R Accessors Explained. ) This behavior has returned to hash-1.99.x the use of the values
method and the and optional keys
h <- hash( c('a','b','c'), 1:3 )
values(h, keys=c('a','b','c','a','b','c' ) )
Matthias suggested calling the method mget
, but there was some disparity with the mget
function in base. The generic function that I needed just wouldn't play nice with base::mget.
Another change in the behavior was prompted by Mohammad Fahim of the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Louisville. He wrote me to ask if there is a way to suppress warnings when trying to access non-existent keys. When accessing hashes hundreds of thousands of times, it becomes a drag to continually see:
key: xxxx not found in the hash : hash_table_name
I have refactored the behavior to be more R-like by following na.action
-type conventions. Now the default behavior is to return NA
when trying to access non-existing keys.
> library(hash)
>h <- hash( c('a','b','c'), 1:3 )
> h h[ letters[1:5] ]
containing 6 key-value pair(s).
a : 1
b : 2
c : 3
d : NA
e : NA
The behavior is also controllable by na.action.hash
option. The functions are provided for most use cases:
(default) returnsNA
silently ,na.fail.hash
(old default) errors on non-existing keysna.warn.hash
but issues a warning.
Behaviors can be set by setting the na.hash.action
option. For example, to get the default behavior:
> options( na.hash.action = na.fail.hash )
> h$d
Error: key, d, not found in hash.
> h[[ 'd' ]]
Error: key, d, not found in hash.
And , for the [
and [[
methods, this behavior can be declared at access time:
> h[[ 'd', na.action=na.warn.hash ]]
Warning: key, d, not found in hash.
> h[[ 'd', na.action=na.fail.hash ]]
Error: key, d, not found in hash.
> h[[ 'd', na.action=na.default.hash ]]
If you don't like these hash-key-miss behaviors, you are free to write your own. Functions should minimally accept arguments of the hash and the key.
Thanks to both Matthias and Mohammed for your feedback.
New features are on their way. Notably, the ability to use any object as keys and to preserve the order of the hash. These are sometimes called Indexed Hashes. Look for that in the hash-2.00.x release. If you would like to see features added contact me at cbrown -at- opendatagroup.com

I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. I'm getting a grinding/clunking noise from me derailleur, it only really happens when you turn on the clutch. I didn't know if they clutch itself was to tight, I haven't messed with that yet. But like I said when I turn it off the noise goes away. I previously had an XO derailleur and didn't have any issues.

Assassin's Creed: Lineage(2010)The story is a prequel to the video game Assassin's Creed II. It centres around the father of the game's main character Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Giovanni is an assassin living during the Renaissance in 15th century Italy. At this dawn of a new era, a conspiracy is being plotted by one corrupt family to overthrow the powerful Medici family and destroy a unified Italy. As an assassin, Giovanni must face this threat and bring justice. The story introduces the situation before Assassin's Creed II, and the enemies of both characters. For more about Assassin's Creed: Lineage and the Assassin's Creed: Lineage Blu-ray release, see Assassin's Creed: Lineage Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on November 12, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Yves Simoneau » See full cast & crew Assassin's Creed: Lineage Blu-ray, Video QualityAssassin's Creed: Lineage is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of New Video and Flatiron Film Company with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. This is one magnificent looking release, with crystal clear imagery and none of the pseudo-fuzziness that often accompanied backgrounds (intentionally so) in 300 and Sin City. Colors, while somewhat muted at times and amber hued, are robust and lifelike, and fine detail is, to quote a certain gaming son of mine, awesome. Backgrounds look fantastic and while perhaps not quite photorealistic are certainly impressive and well detailed. The costumes are incredibly sumptuous and pop magnificently throughout the film's brief running time. If Ubisoft is getting into the feature film business and this is any indication of what they can achieve, videophiles have some incredible viewing experiences ahead of them, at the very least from a visual standpoint if nothing else. Assassin's Creed: Lineage Blu-ray, Audio QualityAssassin's Creed: Lineage features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mix that is certainly robust and effective, though one wonders why we weren't afforded a true surround mix considering the game franchise's often incredibly immersive sound design, and this short's emphasis on several great action sequences, which no doubt would have benefited from a more immersive sound design. While the stereo mix here does offer occasional directionality (some of the fighting is clearly panned left or right), the visuals here are so astounding that the relatively paltry two channel mix comes off as lackluster by comparison. That said, fidelity is extremely strong, with some fulsome LFE and excellent dynamic range. Dialogue is clear (despite some heavy accents at time, and unfortunately a dearth of subtitles), and it, effects, and score are extremely well prioritized in the overall mix.

Hi everyone... We are heading down 4/10. It's me, Dear Mom, DS 11, and DD9. Our plane lands at MCOat 7:30 pm and we are going to take the ME to POP. We are only staying there one night and transferring over to the CR the next am so we won't have our dining plan yet. Last time we did this, we headed to DTD but our plane landed around 6 so it want so bad. I'm guessing we won't even get to Pop until 8:30-9 pm? Should we just stay there and eat at that food court and hang around that resort for the night, or would you take a bus to DTD? Kind of sounds like that might be more of a pain than its worth, although I would LOVE to go eat at Earl of Sandwich or Wolfgang Pucks! What do you all think? I've heard some pretty good things about the food court at POP. Anyone have any favorite items from there? Thanks!
If you are staying at POP and getting in late , I would walk over to AoA and have dinner there. They have a bridge between the 2 resorts that is an easy walk. The food is really good and it is a really nice resort to walk around. Then it is a quick walk back to your room. Hope you enjoy your trip.
I agree. You will all be tired from traveling anyway so I would either eat at POP or Art of Animation. They both have great food. That will give you some time to check out all the great things at the resort plus maybe do some swimming too.
If youre getting in at around 8pm, I honestly wouldnt bother going to DTD. Not a chance. Not at that hour. Like the others have suggested, I would just either eat at Pop, or walk over next door to the AoA!!!
Hey...I never thought of walking over to AofA! I'd love to check it out anyway! Thanks...sounds like that's what we'll be doing!

Forget about the inferior remake from Fear of a Black Planet, this is Chuck D at his lo-fi best.

Another great song that was slightly changed (for the worse) when it appeared on the LP. Still his finest moment.

Some heaters in there for sure.
Robbie, glad you are doing ok!
Comment by Eons 12.28.07 @Robbie,
Great P Brothers cut. It's funny because they really aren't as widely recognised in the UK as they should be, and yet they're pretty much the 'realest' outfit in the contemporary scene… go figure.
I should blame my own lack of knowledge on the misplaced Rae track in my top ten, but I'm gonna blame your sloppy blogging instead because I'm reasonable like that
Have a good new year man,

Super easy and great flavors. Because previous reviews mentioned the high spice I omitted the cayenne pepper and I don't think it suffered one bit. Instead a spicy salsa gave folks more control of the amount of heat. I marinated a flat iron steak with the rub for an hour and grilled everything outside including fresh corn tortillas. Definitely will make again!
Easy to do, hard to screw up, great ROI. Both my husband and I were surprised about the amount of heat, but pleasantly so. often things are not as hot as we like. Good weekday recipe. Not unhealthy either.

Wow flavor..........unfortunately I used a cheaper cut......would definitely use flank next time.........And kids.........some may be a bit too spicy.....
This recipe is very good. I used striploin instead of flank and it worked very well. I will make it again
Yummy! This was so good. After I cooked the meat {on our nifty foreman grill, it took longer at med-high} I threw on some sweet onion and red/orange peppers and left them to caramelize for a bit. Mixed up the cilantro with lime juice to sprinkle over, avocado... pretty much didn't change anything! My hubby ate two, and I would of if it could of fit in my stomach. I was worried they wouldn't be as good as juicy fajitas, but I'm definitely making these again.
Good call on the fan! A must for this recipe. You could also heat the skillet on the grill outside. It is a lung-buster! But in a good way. I substituted chipotle for the cayenne, because it's what I had. It was good. I also used the suggestion of deglazing the pan with the fajita vegetables. They were awesome. My family with kids ranging from 12 to 7 all loved it. I doubled it, and it fed six for dinner (I also had rice) and leftovers for lunch. Good the next day too. The heat doesn't grow.
Great flavor. If anyone is thinking about using another cut of meat - don't - flank steak is the best for fajits - period. The spices and garnish really make these fajitas happen - so don't skimp! :)
Tastes like a fajita I would expect from an authentic Mexican kitchen. I followed the rub recipe exactly, but let it sit on the meat for about 15 minutes. The avocado, while rich, provides an unexpected lightness to the fajita. I used whole wheat tortillas and lightly toasted them on a skillet sprayed with pam. Delish!
My boyfriend made this last night and it was excellent. Very spicy, he grilled it inside and we could barely breathe due to the spice smoke. The cilantro is a definite must & the peppers add sweetness, the avocado balances the spice & cools it down a bit & we garnished with lime wedges which adds definite complexity and another sweet/ sour note...This one is a definite keeper!

I can't use my arms to position myself because of my disability, so I feel locked into a very passive role. I hate asking my partner to make all the moves. How can I become more active in the relationship myself?

Setup: Windows 7 Host (laptop), Personal Alpha OpenVMS running v8.3. Stock installation from CD. I have TELNET configured as DHCP and the network adapter is set to "shared". I have both wireless and wired connections, and I will have this configured to use the shared wired port.
Ok, what I want to do is be able to FTP from my HOST system (windows) over to the VMS server so that I can move patches/updates/software over to the emulator. I cannot get my FTP client to connect to the VMS server. I have FTP client configured on the VMS system, but it never wants to connect.
If i try from another VMS server (non-emulated), i can telnet using my latptop IP address and it connects no problem to the Personal Alpha system no problem. So i know the FTP client works. I am just curious to know why my host system cannot FTP into it.

I seem to recall I had a similar issue, which I had to fix in Windows. OpenVMS is not to blame in this.
Telnet worked, Advanced FTP tools (I used Ipswitch ws_FTP) worked, but basic FTP from the command line failed.
What you need is a client that supports PASV mode, or...
Check out the Firewall setting, for File Transfer Protocol

Air-flow sensitive hairs: boundary layers in oscillatory flows around arthropod appendages
Steinmann, T. and Casas, J. and Krijnen, G.J.M. and Dangles, O. (2006) Air-flow sensitive hairs: boundary layers in oscillatory flows around arthropod appendages. The Journal of Experimental Biology, 209 . pp. 4398-4408. ISSN 0022-0949
Abstract: | The aim of this work is to characterize the boundary layer over small appendages in insects in longitudinal and transverse oscillatory flows. The problem of immediate interest is the early warning system in crickets perceiving flying predators using air-flow-sensitive hairs on cerci, two long appendages at their rear. We studied both types of oscillatory flows around small cylinders using stroboscopic micro-particle image velocimetry as a function of flow velocity and frequency. Theoretical predictions are well fulfilled for both longitudinal and transverse flows. Transverse flow leads to higher velocities than longitudinal flow in the boundary layer over a large range of angles between flow and cylinder. The strong spatial heterogeneity of flow velocities around filiform-shaped appendages is a rich source of information for different flow-sensing animals. Our results suggest that crickets could perceive the direction of incoming danger by having air-flow-sensitive hairs positioned around their entire cerci. Implications for biomimetic flow-sensing MEMS are also presented. |

Don't worry Stefon, we'll tell her. (Psssst Katy, he's definitely not the one that got away.)
While Katy Perry has appeared on Saturday Night Live before (she was the musical guest during an episode last September, in which she also appeared in a sketch poking fun at herself and her Sesame Street controversy), this will mark the pop star's first go as a host. Perry will also be accompanied by her touring buddy Robyn, who will be on hand as musical guest for tonight's brand-new episode. Watch the latest promo featuring Perry, Robyn, and Bill Hader's Stefon below. (I would have guessed they'd save Stefon for next week's year-end episode when Jimmy Fallon returns to SNL as host, but an early Stefon arrival is just as good as any early Christmas present.)
<embed src="http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.15800008" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" AllowScriptAccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" flashvars=" width="425" height="350" />
Still, the pressure is certainly on Perry, who tends to play up her overtly silly side when going for laughs (see: "Last Friday Night" video), to carry an entire episode by herself. (Especially considering last week's host Steve Buscemi helped propel his episode to one of this season's best.) But it seems like she'll be getting some help. In her first SNL promo spot, Perry joked that her husband Russell Brand, who has hosted the show before, gave her some helpful tips. So, perhaps we can expect – or at least hope for – a cameo from him to help her out even more? But even if Brand doesn't make an appearance, it seems Perry will be getting a little extra assistance from Matt Damon, who was spotted filming a bit (presumably a Digital Short) with her and Andy Samberg. (Speaking of Damon, the We Bought A Zoo star hasn't hosted SNL in nearly 10 years. He needs to slip on a pilot uniform and walk briskly right back up to the stage of Studio 8H post-haste.)
How do you think Katy Perry will fare at the helm of Saturday Night Live tonight, PopWatchers? Do you have high hopes for the singer? Or are you disappointed that she's hosting instead of performing? (I'm cautiously optimistic that the likable pop star will be a good host, but I do have high hopes for the episode itself. Especially considering the show has been on a roll… and there's this fun to join in on.) Are you hoping that, in addition to Damon, Brand will stop by? Or is it all about Stefon? (For the record, it's always about Stefon.) Share your thoughts in the comments section below throughout the night and then be sure to check back in Sunday morning for Clark Collis' react to the episode.

Look of Vintage Burnt Brown Bag Book
Give a gift with an old school twist! Create a Look of Vintage Burnt Brown Bag from Candace Jedrowicz using a a retro technique and fill the pages with blank paper or calendar pages. Save a grocery bag this week and use it for your project - it's a great way to recycle.
- A paper grocery bag
- Aleene's Tacky Glue ( I used Quick Dry)
- Two pieces of 5"x5" cardboard and a ¼"x5" piece for the spine
- A sponge brush
- Scissors
- Metallic inks, Rub and Buff metallic colors
- Stamps
- A heat tool
- A candle and lighter
- A bone folder
- Cut three layers of paper bag larger than the cardboard book cover will be with layers of glue between them.
- Paint a layer of glue on the top layer of bag, place the cardboard in position and cut the corners for folding. Fold the edges over and burnish with the bone folder. Cut one piece of paper bag to fit on the inside of the cover and glue it in place.
- Take care to burnish the spaces on the sides of the spine. Let dry.
- Spread one half of the inside with glue and, while the glue is wet, pass it over the candle flame.
- It will sizzle and bubble and pop and turn black. That's what you want it to do.
- When it's cool, use a paper towel or wet wipe to remove the soot.
- The surface already has a lovely sheen, but I like colors in layers, so I start by rubbing a copper colored ink pad over the whole thing.
- The copper Rub and Buff is a slightly lighter color, so I skim it over the surface with my fingers.
- I chose my favorite stamps and added some silver and gold accents. I'm sure you have favorite stamps that would look awesome on this surface!
- If you use inks that require heat setting, do that now and when it's cool give it a coat of matte sealer.
- Whatever your pages will be, you'll want to measure your cover and take a 1/2" off each edge for the paper measurement. Make two holes about an inch and a half from the ends.
- Center the paper in the cove and mark where the holes will be on the spine.
- I attached my pages by threading a wire through the holes and wrapping it twice. Then I tied a piece of yarn to the wire and added a charm on the end for a book mark.

China, Cuba sign economic agreements
Publication Date : 06-07-2012
China and Cuba signed a number of agreements yesterday, covering several areas, as the Caribbean nation focuses on economic issues.
Cuban leader Raul Castro is on a four-day visit to China, which analysts believe will give him a good opportunity to survey China's reform success.
After President Hu Jintao held talks with Castro, both countries signed eight agreements covering, among other sectors, agriculture, healthcare and technology.
China and Cuba are both at an important phase in their development, Hu told Castro, who arrived for his first state visit to China, on Wednesday, since taking office in 2008.
Focus should be placed on increasing trade and cooperation in a number of fields, including energy and construction, Hu said.
Hu also suggested that both countries should coordinate more on key issues, including United Nations reform, climate change and sustainable development. Hu praised Cuba's socialist achievements and said China will always support the country in protecting its sovereignty.
Castro, the 81-year-old president of Cuba's Council of State and the Council of Ministers, said Cubans are proud of the ties between the two countries and their increasing cooperation.
Castro said Cuba is steadily promoting reform and exploring a development path consistent with its national conditions, to promote comprehensive and coordinated economic and social development.
Cuba attaches great importance to China's successful experience in development, Castro said.
He pointed out that trade, investment and renewable energy were areas that would benefit from greater cooperation.
Analysts said Cuba views China as a role model and wants to learn from its economic experience.
Cuba is particularly paying attention to economic cooperation since Castro is focusing on development and reform, said Qi Fengtian, an expert on Latin American studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Economic cooperation with China and other countries is important for Cuba to get out of its economic difficulties, but Cuba is not ignoring the rich tradition of political cooperation between the two countries, Qi said.
Cuba established diplomatic relations with China on September 28, 1960, the first Latin American country to do so.
China is Cuba's second-largest trading partner after Venezuela. Trade between the two, in 2011, reached US$2 billion.
Cuba is taking a comprehensive approach to ties to get the most out of them, Qi added.
Noting that Cuba has a vibrant biotechnology and healthcare sector, Qi said cooperation between the two countries has obvious benefits.
Castro will also visit Vietnam, which is Cuba's main supplier of rice.
Cuba can draw on the experiences of other socialist countries that have been economically successful, said Yang Jianmin, an expert at the centre for Cuban studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Having the right just means that you can sue from the hospital. In a situation like that, the prudent thing to do is slow down until the motorist makes his decision clear. When I'm driving and I see someone roll out like that, I worry about them pulling in front of me.
I think a lot of it has to do with closing speeds. I've nearly hit pedestrians once or twice because I was doing a short sprint and they didn't expect a cyclist moving at 30 mph. They didn't realize how fast I was going until they were already in front of me.
As for light pairs, I think the relevant comparison is motorcycles with dual beam lights. The danger of two light is that other drivers might think you're a distant car, rather than a cyclist with narrow light spacing.

Toronto FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei is clearly happy with the signings made by the club this week.
The Canadian outfit have brought in former Germany star Torsten Frings and Dutch striker Danny Koevermans as Designated Players and the new arrivals have Frei very excited, especially after the club managed to defeat Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 in their midweek derby.
"It feels like a very good day overall for Toronto FC," said Frei. "Besides the win, which is an obvious thing, with the additions of the new players I'm very, very excited.
"Danny and Torsten are very experienced and I think that's maybe what has been lacking with our team a bit.
"I think the average of our team before was maybe 24-25ish. They bring the leadership and the experience."

12 superhero minimalist posters
Superhero throwback film "The Avengers" is a mega-hit, according to box office ticket sales. The film, which opened earlier this month, made $200.3 million in its opening weekend, a record-breaking figure. "Avengers" was five years in the making, although its release is perfectly timed with this summer's other impending super hero releases, such as "The Dark Knight", and is right in line with the current popularity of the super hero genre overall.
Featuring a team of Marvel Comic heroes who have already had their individual big screen debuts, like Thor, Iron Man and The Hulk, "The Avengers" opening weekend had movie theaters quickly selling out every seat in the house. Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian said, "'The Avengers' kicks off what looks to me to be the summer box-office equivalent of the 100-year flood. This is perhaps the most perfect summer lineup in box-office history."
Inspired by the film, comic book fan and art student Calvin Lin has exploded onto the superhero scene through amateur artist website DeviantART with a series of posters featuring a minimalist-style depiction of a number of comic book characters like Superman, The Flash, The Green Lantern, Black Widow and more. His latest work features posters with characters from "The Avengers," minimalist-style.

Tseng beats Hull by making putt on 18
Updated: August 2, 2010, 12:52 AM ET
Associated Press
SOUTHPORT, England -- Yani Tseng of Taiwan made a 6-foot putt on the 18th hole Sunday to win the Women's British Open by one stroke over Katherine Hull of Australia.
It was the 21-year-old Tseng's third major title and second of the year to go along with the Kraft Nabisco. She has four LPGA victories overall, having won 2008 LPGA Championship and 2009 Corning Classic.
Hull came into the round trailing by four strokes but trailed by just one heading into the 18th. But she missed ...

Titular see of Lycia, suffragan of Myra, formerly a large cornmercial town, opposite Rhodes. Founded perhaps by the Phoenicians, it received later a Dorian colony from Crete; a legend traces its foundation to Patarus, son of Apollo. Renowned for its wealth, it was more so for its temple of Apollo where the oracles of the god were rendered during the winter.
Ptolemy Philadelphus extended it, naming it Arsinoe. On his third missionary journey St. Paul embarked from here for Tyre ( Acts 21:1-3 ). The "Notitiæ Episcopatuum" mention it among the suffragans of Myra as late as the thirteenth century. Le Quien (Oriens christianus, I, 977) names seven bishops :
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.
