The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Cuccinelli Campaign
1:58 PM, Oct 28, 2013 • By MICHAEL WARREN
What's wrong with Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's Republican candidate for governor? He's losing by nearly 10 percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics, to Terry McAuliffe, the flawed Democrat. The conventional wisdom is that Cuccinelli is too conservative on social issues, and the McAuliffe campaign has run ads painting the Republican as an extremist on abortion, gay rights, and contraception.
Cuccinelli addresses Virginia Tea Partiers, October 9.
But conservative activist Maggie Gallagher has argued the opposite--that Cuccinelli has pursued a "truce strategy" on social issues that has to been to the detriment of his campaign. "The truce strategy demoralizes the GOP base and makes it hard for the grass roots to care about Republican candidates," Gallagher argued. "Conservative candidates are advised to deflect or retreat when social issues are raised, and their refusal to speak clearly and hold the line allows Democratic candidates to adopt more extreme positions, energizing their own base and unleashing a flood of money at no political cost."
Meanwhile, Libertiarian party candidate Robert Sarvis is casting himself, at least in part, as a socially liberal alternative to Cuccinelli. Those libertarian-leaning voters who don't like Cuccinelli's conservative positions on abortion and gay marriage ought to vote for Sarvis, goes the argument. That could explain why Cuccinelli's losing a big chunk of his potential voters to Sarvis (up to 10 percent, according to some polls). In an interview last week, Cuccinelli argued that libertarians in Virginia ought to vote for him.
"I'm the most pro-liberty elected official statewide in my lifetime," he told me. "It isn't even a close call, so for people who care about protecting liberty, there's never been, again in my lifetime in Virginia, a statewide elected official who's been as aggressive and consistent about doing that as I have."
Furthermore, Tim Carney at the Washington Examiner argues that if elected, Cuccinelli would be the most libertarian governor in the country. Here's Carney's convincing case:
And Molly Ball of the Atlantic describes Cuccinelli as the example of the libertarian-tinged Tea Party's limits in a state like Virginia. She describes the Cuccinelli's approach as "populist-libertarian Republicanism" just as the Tea Party movement seems to be getting exhausted.
So what is it? Is Cuccinelli a libertarian Tea Partier running a few years too late? A socially conservative extremist out of step with modern Virginia? Too timid on social issues? Not pro-liberty enough?

Transphasic shields in the novels
View Single Post
August 25 2012, 04:47 PM
Re: Transphasic shields in the novels
"Fewer" people? Isn't there just one person complaining?
Actually it is remotely possible that the Doomsday Machine could've been armored in actual neutronium, if the neutronium could be encased in some kind of material strong enough to resist its degeneracy pressure -- similarly to how Robert L. Forward proposed that electron-degenerate matter (i.e. matter of white-dwarf density) could be encased in synthetic diamond (see my discussion of this in
Ex Machina
). The DM actually does look as if it's coated in some kind of shiny, smooth material (which is actually plastic sheeting on the original miniature, but it looks really neat if you don't examine it too closely). It's a reach, but it's within the realm of suspension of disbelief, given the super-advanced technology in play.
It's when you get to the later uses of "neutronium" in DS9 and VGR, as an armor material on doors and stuff, that it becomes implausible, because of the sheer weight and density of the substance. That's where it's handy to think of it as a shorthand for some kind of material that isn't literally neutronium.
Hmm... now, Memory Alpha makes the claim that
"Since 1942, it has been used in various science fiction material to refer to a super-dense alloy or a trans-uranic element on the periodic table."
However, the OED's
SF terminology citations site
doesn't quite agree with that. There's a reference to a "neutronium hull" in a 1931 Jack Williamson story, but most of the references cited there (except the ones from Trek novels) are referring to the actual neutron-star kind of neutronium either literally or as a metaphor. (The 1942 Hal Clement reference to cities of neutronium is in a story about beings that live in the core of the Sun, so it's certainly not about a material that could survive in M-class conditions.)

Seaford Museum needs Volunteers
Your local museum is housed in the oldest and most distinctive building on our town's seafront: Martello Tower No. 74. Constructed in 1810 as the last in a series of fortifications around Essex, Kent and Sussex it was a defensive fort supporting one large cannon to be used against Napoleon's forces. Luckily the French never came and in time the tower became successively a coastguard station, café and roller skating rink and is now a museum.
Those who have visited the Museum know that local and military history forms only part of the content. A cavalcade of domestic and social memorabilia of the 20th Century makes up more than half of the displays, and together with tableaux of shops, a school room, and Victorian and wartime kitchens, provides a wider interest to both visitors and stewards. Membership, providing a regular magazine and free entry to the Tower, costs only £7.50 per year.
During the summer months the Martello Tower is open to visitors on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and on Sunday morning and afternoon. The Museum is run entirely by volunteer members of the Seaford Museum & Heritage Society. To enable us to open we are looking for more volunteers to help with the stewarding. We normally have two stewards and a senior steward on duty. Stewarding initially involves meeting people and making them welcome, and is usually an enjoyable time. The welcome element is particularly important when manning the entrance desk and shop. There is no prior knowledge needed to become a steward – we all learn on the job and there is always a senior steward to deal with difficult queries. The average commitment is two hours per month but you can do more or less than this according to circumstances.
If you think you might be able to assist with stewarding you are invited to come along to a friendly introduction and training session to be held in the Museum at 10:30 am on Saturday 9th March.
This will include coffee and a tour of the Museum.
If you cannot come on this day, phone Michael Staples on 01323 894893, who will be happy to arrange an alternative introduction.

I assume green is the increase in rep, but what's the red? I see 0s or negatives. No idea what they mean. Can a link be added to explain?
What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 150 Stack Exchange communities.
Red represents a loss of repuation from anything, not just downvotes, this includes:
Red is for down-votes. You will see -2 for every down-vote someone gives you, and -1 for every down-vote you give. -100 for for questions/answers flagged offensive. It will also include any bounties you have set.
I don't think this has been discussed, so I'm not sure I can find a link to add.

10 fastest American cars
They've never had much practical use for anything besides bragging rights, but they were as American as a quarter pounder with cheese. Now they ought to be listed with other endangered species like the Eastern cougar and Kemp's Ridley turtle.
I'm talking about fast high-horsepower cars. Really fast cars, like in three times the legal speed limit. The kind you loved in Smokey and the Bandit and Two-Lane Blacktop. Traditional Detroit iron.
The handwriting is on the wall for these V-8-powered monsters. Gas prices are getting scarily high, the climate is getting scarily warm, and the nanny state wants to take all our fun away. Truck owners are already making the switch. Ford is selling more F-150s with sixes than V-8s.
MORE AT CNNMoney.COM
Herewith, America's fastest cars and a few sensible alternatives. R.I.P.
2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
0 to 60: 3.3 seconds
Top speed: 205 mph
Flagship of the Corvette line, the ZR1 is powered by a supercharged V-8 that puts out 638 horsepower. Reviewing it in 2008, Jeremy Clarkson of Britain's Top Gear said "Oh, it's not built very well. After just three days in my care, the boot lock disintegrated, and the keyless go system refused to acknowledge the keys were in the car, but I didn't mind because there is simply no other car that looks this good, goes this fast -- in a straight line and around corners." 2011 price: $110,300.
For those who like a less-rich confection, there are the Z06 Corvette (198 mph; $74,375); GS (190 mph; $55,045) and Coupe (190 mph; $49,045). GM is engineering an all-new Corvette, but the chances of it building any more 200-mph models are between slim and none.
2005 Ford GT

In short, I'm looking for a tool to perform an automated, zero-configuration, full-frontal assault on a web application.
I'm thinking this would logically be a browser-extension that both crawls links on a given domain/path, AND randomly inputs data into forms and submits them. Specifically, form input would randomly include various data types, special characters, excessive data, various character encodings, and null values. Multithreading is a necessity (perhaps one plugin simply utilizing multiple Firefox tabs).
The tool does NOT (and should not) need to make any assertions about the results, or verify any application behavior. Instead, the persistence layer (DB records, etc) and applications logs would be used to evaluate the results of this "testing effort."
This would be a tool to complement existing testing tools (Selenium, QuickTestPro) and methodologies that may not have 100% coverage.
Any suggestions for existing or in-development tools? If not, I am eager to start an open-source project.
CLARIFICATION: I am specifically not looking for a penetration testing tool.
UPDATE: I have founded an open source project to satisfy this question. See comments below.

I tried this in the Chrome JS console, with my locale time zone set as PST:
(new Date("07-15-2005"))
=> Fri Jul 15 2005 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
(new Date("07-15-2005")).getTime();
=> 1121410800000
(new Date("2005-07-15"))
=> Thu Jul 14 2005 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
(new Date("2005-07-15")).getTime();
=> 1121385600000
I was expecting string parsing to occur in both. But I can't make out why when format YYYY-MM-DD is used, it assumes a timezone offset. It's as if I'm expressing "2005-07-15" in my local TZ, but "07-15-2005" is expressed in UTC.
Is the correct explanation?

CBO – Action and Policy provides the summary of a global assessment of the links between urbanization, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Drawing on contributions from more than 120 scientists and policy-makers from around the world, it summarizes how urbanization affects biodiversity and ecosystem services and presents 10 key messages for strengthening conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in an urban context. It also showcases best practices and lessons learned, and provides information on how to incorporate the topics of biodiversity and ecosystem services into urban agendas and policies. CBO – Action and Policy emphasize challenges and opportunities in rapidly urbanizing developing countries. A workshop in Cape Town in February 2012 was specifically organized to bring together urban planners, policymakers and scientists from many different African countries to inform about current and future urban developments in Africa. The Aichi Biodiversity Targets (see Appendix 1) highlighted throughout the key messages reinforce the mission of the CBD's Strategic Plan to "take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity."
This volume was developed in parallel with and builds upon the more detailed scientific analysis and assessment titled Global Urbanization, Biodiversity, and Ecosystems – Challenges and Opportunities, scheduled to be published in 2013. Both publications are a collaborative effort of the CBD and the Stockholm Resilience Centre of Stockholm University, with significant input from ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.

Denny Hecker's newest residence - at least for the time being - is a medium-security facility in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Hecker, once one of the largest auto dealers in the Twin Cities area, was moved from the federal prison camp in Duluth, Minn., earlier this week. He was initially taken to another correctional facility in Oxford, Wis., about 60 miles north of Madison.
But today, according to the Bureau of Prison's website, he's in Terre Haute.
"I don't know if Terre Haute is his final destination," said Brian Toder, an attorney who has represented Hecker, and visited him in Duluth just before he was moved. Hecker reportedly ran into trouble with cell phones that he was trying to sneak into the Duluth prison camp.
"It's not so much having the cell phone. It's more what you do with the cell phone once you have it," Toder said, declining to elaborate.
When Toder visited Hecker in Duluth, Hecker knew he was on his way out.
"He obviously was visibly upset about it," Toder said. "He didn't want to go anywhere else."
As for the movement between facilities, Toder said "there's this term they call 'diesel therapy,'" which involves moving inmates around as a consequence for behavior. "I'm not saying that's the case here. They may just want to keep him in Terre Haute."
Another possible explanation for three prisons in the same week: The trip from Duluth to Terre Haute is 11 hours by car, so prison authorities may have simply decided to break it up with a stay in Oxford.
The Terre Haute facility, which is a step up from Duluth in terms of security, could eventually offer Hecker a return to the style of life he enjoyed in Duluth. The Terre Haute prison "does have a prison camp adjacent to it," Toder said, "and the camps are what everyone wants." Once in a medium-security facility, an inmate can earn points to make himself eligible for a lower level of security, Toder said.
Perhaps Terre Haute's most famous inmate is George Ryan, the former governor of Illinois, who is also reportedly in the medium-security facility there. He was imprisoned following his 2006 conviction on racketeering and corruption charges. He's set to be released in July 2013.
Hecker, 59, received a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to charges that he hid assets in his bankruptcy and defrauded lenders to his auto dealerships.
One thing that hasn't changed on the Bureau of Prison's website: Hecker's release date. It's still listed as July 4, 2019.

Trust in QB Mitch Leidner appears misplaced on a Gophers' offensive unit that hasn't turned the corner in Jerry Kill's five seasons.
Scoggins: News of Rubio not being 100 percent sets ominous tone
This is a critical season for Ricky Rubio. Injuries have limited him to 202 games in four seasons, including a career-low 22 last season because of a severe ankle injury.
Scoggins: Greenway gives grandfather lasting memory with touchdown
Chad Greenway's grandfather had never watched him play in an NFL game in person before Sunday. He picked a great debut.
Scoggins: Leidner was good when it mattered
Mitch Leidner gives critics reason to back off with the timing of his success.
Scoggins: Expectations altering how Vikings, Gophers being viewed
Zimmer's Vikings earned something Sunday that Kill's Gophers desperately need right now: a therapeutic victory.
Scoggins: Adrian Peterson is back in the fold, with fans and offense
Peterson's return to the Vikings has produced a string of benchmarks. First practice, first game, first carry. Sunday represented another one.
Scoggins: Gophers have few answers, and so does Coach Kill
Never has a victory felt more like a loss than what the Gophers put on display in a 10-7 win against Kent State. Coach Jerry Kill didn't feel much like talking afterward.
Scoggins: Big series with Angels next as Twins revel in taste of 'Septober'
The fictional month is outfielder Torii Hunter's homage to the critical period in every baseball season when games become extra important.
Scoggins: Vikings better hope putrid game was only one bad night
It's one thing to lose a first game on the road. But for the Vikings to soil themselves in that manner, on that stage, after having their egos stroked all preseason, good grief, their performance stunk to high heavens.
Scoggins: Vikings' defense has a chance to overshadow stars on offense
Bridgewater and AP rule the marquee, but a young unit that shined in Zimmer's first season could bring real star power.
Scoggins: Offensive line might block Vikings from success
Regardless of the public spin at Winter Park, center John Sullivan's prolonged absence represents another disconcerting development for a unit that has so much to prove this season.
Scoggins: Gophers have a quarterback quandary
Jerry Kill and his staff could face a difficult decision eventually. The offense - QB Mitch Leidner specifically - has to provide more than what it showed in a 23-17 loss to TCU.
Scoggins: Gophers defense can hang with the best, but offense needs work
The Gophers can take a lot of positives from their defensive performance against TCU. Namely, that contributions came from a lot of sources.
Scoggins: Gophers defense prepares for Heisman contender
The Gophers' defense is well aware TCU's QB Boykin is a difference-maker
TCU earned respect; now it must keep it
The way Gary Patterson sees things, his No. 2-rankedTCU football team remains in "prove-it" mode after getting a sniff of college football's inaugural playoff last season.
Scoggins: Thirteen thoughts on college football's national scene
Chip Scoggins offers up his annual baker's dozen: 13 thoughts on the national scene. A 14th thought could have been: How can it get any better than last year's epic season?
Scoggins: Gophers, TCU prepare with intensity and intrigue as clock ticks down
U's Kill and Co. set sights on the biggest opener in decades.
Scoggins: Cris Carter, NFL dropped the ball with 'fall guy' comments
The latest NFL controversy — a daily occurrence, it seems — comes courtesy of former Vikings star Cris Carter, who told a roomful of NFL rookies at a league-sanctioned symposium last year that they need a "fall guy" in their "crew" to take the collar should their behavior turn criminal.
Scoggins: An argument for the defense in college football
Gophers' defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys is bucking the Xbox offense trend.
Scoggins: To take the next step, Vikings need to win close games
Win the winnable games is a bumper sticker slogan for the modern-day NFL. That's often what separates the good teams from the bad.
Scoggins: Bucs say Winston's talent is worth any baggage-related risk
Critics assail flaws, but the Bucs are sold on the No. 1 overall draft pick.
Scoggins: U needs to bring Teague — and maybe others — to account
The university must inspect closely and discipline harshly to demonstrate its commitment to doing what's right.
Scoggins: Teague scandal rocks Gophers athletics amid recent gains
The accumulation of disappointment over the years — NCAA violations, misdeeds, awful hires, heartbreaking defeats — has created this perception that the U can't get out of its own way
Precision is hallmark for Vikings rookie receiver Diggs
Receiver Stefon Diggs works after practice to ensure he's learning as fast as possible.
Scoggins: Gophers football team enters a new world of credibility
Jerry Kill's program no longer should be treated as the Little Engine That Could. The Gophers have shed their "Kick Me" sign and deserve to be taken seriously.
Scoggins: Twins had a chance to go bold at the trade deadline, but didn't
While Kevin Jepsen is a nice addition, this roster still has many holes.
Scoggins: High tech hits the field at Vikings camp
The technology makes traditional practice video that's shot from the sideline, end zone or from a mechanical lift high above the field look like a '56 Buick.
Scoggins: Doubting him provides fuel for Peterson's fire
After a year away from the game, the Vikings running back is out to prove something again.
Scoggins: Perkins pays price for being a little off
One misplaced pitch tied the score, and another gave the Yankees the comeback victory.
Scoggins: Ex-Viking Carlson joins list of players leaving NFL on their terms
Early retirements among NFL players made splash in headlines this offseason. Former Vikings tight end John Carlson says he reached a point after seven NFL seasons where he had enough of football.
Life's a beach for bonding Gophers football recruits
Eden Prairie's star linebacker, Carter Coughlin, told his dad he needed to use the family's cabin. "I thought that having the guys up to the cabin would just be killer," he said.
Dark Clouds lends vocal support to United FC
The Dark Clouds love to sing and dance. And bang drums. And set off smoke machines. And tease opponents with creative wisecracks.
Scoggins: Be realistic about what KG brings to Wolves' table
In the best case, Kevin Garnett provides a version of the value that Torii Hunter has brought to the Twins.
Scoggins: Fun is good, but winning big is even better for Saints
In a stunning new home, the St. Paul team is ripping through the American Association with a 29-7 record.
Scoggins: As college athletics revenue soars, so does spending
TV deals are bringing more money to campus, but athletic departments are spending it quickly.
Scoggins: Draft leaves Rubio with a hometown problem
Flashy but often-injured point guard Ricky Rubio has a popular newcomer Tyus Jones waiting behind him.
Scoggins: Timberwolves made a logical choice, then a popular one
The No. 1 overall pick and a savvy point guard? A two-way big man and a proven winner? An elite defensive player and a popular local kid guaranteed to sell tickets? It was a good night for the Wolves.
Scoggins: Buxton responds to leadoff challenge
The rookie's first-inning double got the Twins started, and he went 3-for-5, scored three runs and threw out two baserunners.
Scoggins: Buxton will struggle some, but excite always
No more tease. No more wait. No more checking Chattanooga Lookouts boxscores to see how Byron Buxton is going.
Scoggins: Allen brushes aside credit for Twins' pitching staff turnaround
First-year pitching coach Neil Allen's new ideas and approach clearly have made a positive impact on the staff. Allen's voice usually can be heard stressing two things
Adam Brett Walker is long on power, short on consistency
The outfielder has piled up the home runs and the strikeouts at Class AA Chattanooga.
Scoggins: Buxton's speed is in a league by itself
Watching top Twins prospect Byron Buxton's bursts of speed in person borders on the indescribable.
Hard throwers dominate at Twins' team in Chattanooga
The Twins have three relievers who can hit 100 miles per hour on the radar gun and Jose Berrios is leading the Southern League in strikeouts. The second of a two-day look at the talent-rich Lookouts.
Chattanooga: Twins' Grade A talent in AA town
Buxton, Sano, Polanco, Berrios and more. The Twins have stockpiled top prospects at their Class AA team in Chattanooga. The first of a two-day look at the Lookouts by Chip Scoggins.
Chattanooga's Engel Stadium: Where legends played
Ruth, Gehrig, Mays, Killebrew — Jordan even — they all played at the Lookouts' old home
Scoggins: There's no quit in 12-year-old Ty Murphy
By definition, Ty has a disability. His right arm stops 1½ inches below his elbow. In his heart, the 12-year-old from Oakdale believes he can conquer sports with one functioning arm.
Scoggins: Dare to hope, Twins fans; surprise resurgence feels real
Go ahead and enjoy this. It's OK to feel excited and optimistic about this team after enduring the other side, the dark side.
Scoggins: Selecting Towns would be far from crazy
Karl-Anthony Towns has an imaginary friend that sits on his shoulder and offers advice or criticism during games. He'd be a perfect fit for the wacky Timberwolves.
Scoggins: Tarkenton to today, QBs vary on preference in footballs
Fran Tarkenton never paid attention to whether the footballs were too heavy, too light or just right. 'All of our footballs were hard,' he said.

iOS 7 introduces Dynamic Type, which if apps choose to support it, gives the user control over text size in an app. Web pages have had this feature for free since the early days of the web, but web browsers moved away from dynamic text sizing. The Two Types of Browser Zoom.
iOS7 Dynamic Type automatically adjusts weight, letter spacing, and line height for every font size. It looks *stunning, but there's work to make your app support it.
Default Size
Here's what UserXListView looks like with the Text Size (Settings - General - Text Size) set to the default size in the iPhone Retina (3.5-inch) iOS Simulator.
We get 3 and 'a bit' cells in the UITableView.
Smallest Size
Changing the Text Size to the smallest size means we can fit slightly more.
Nearly 4 cells in the UITableView.
Largest Size
Changing the Text Size to the largest size means we can fit slightly less, but get big beautiful type.
3 cells in the UITableView.
Implementation, The Easy Part
That's how it looks, but how hard is it to make your app support it. Let's look at UserXListView. The cell layout makes use of Auto Layout Constraints, which are very powerful.
iOS 7 has defined Text Styles - Body, Caption 1, Caption 2, Footnote, Headline 1, Headline 2, Subhead 1, and Subhead 2. We assign a Text Style to each label in the cell layout via the attribute inspector as shown below.
Once the label Text Styles and Auto Layout Constraints are set, we're ready for the hard part.
Implementation, The Hard Part
Unlike Auto Layout in this example, there's more work to do to support Dynamic Type.
We need to make the Controller aware of a Text Size change by hooking into the UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(preferredContentSizeChanged:) name:UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification object:nil];
- (void)preferredContentSizeChanged:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
// adjust the layout of the cells
[self.view setNeedsLayout];
// refresh view...
We need to calculate the height of the row/cell based on it's content, and as each label in the cell can change height we need to calculate the total height of the cell required.
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
Account *account = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UIFont *nameLabelFont = [UIFont preferredFontForTextStyle:UIFontTextStyleHeadline1];
CGSize nameLabelFontSize = [[account name] sizeWithAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:nameLabelFont forKey:NSFontAttributeName]];
// ...
CGFloat PADDING_OUTER = 10;
CGFloat totalHeight = PADDING_OUTER + nameLabelFontSize.height + ... + PADDING_OUTER;
return totalHeight;
We also need to programmatically assign (or re-assign because we already did it in the Storyboard) the cell label Text Style values.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
AccountCell *cell = (AccountCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"AccountCell"];
Account *account = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.nameLabel.text = [account name];
cell.nameLabel.font = [UIFont preferredFontForTextStyle:UIFontTextStyleHeadline1];
// ...
Final Thoughts
That's it. iOS 7 determines and applies the font attributes for each label based on the Text Style for each label, and the iOS 7 Text Size system setting selected by the user, and it's left to us (the developer) to cater for the changes in the layout to the view.
As you can see there's a bit of extra work to support Dynamic Type. It would be nice if it was a bit smarter, a bit more automatic, but with great power comes great responsibility.

Long Long Summer Lyrics by Psycroptic
Long Long Summer by Psycroptic
Get on the floor for this one
All my mamis come on let's bounce to this
Say what, let's bounce, bounce to this
Say what don't forget the group P.A.
Once again it's on
I'm tellin everybody this one's the lick
So all you pimps and playas come on and take your pick
You know that there's a party goin on up in here
Dimes and all the cuties hanging out everywhere
It's gonna be a long, long summer
(This is going out to my people's in the hood)
It's gonna be a lotta, lotta drama
(Whatever you do, you know it be alright)
With all the fellas hanging out
(Ooh come on)
And the girls blazing hot
It's gonna be a long, long summer
(Whatever you do you know we can)
1 - Wanna party we can
Wanna drink we can
Wanna smoke we can
Wanna wild out we can
Wanna dance we can
Wanna holla we can
Wanna stay we can
Wanna creep off we can
This action here is tight, hold up I'll get back to you
Now I got my drink, who was talking, me or you
Look the party's on ten, shortey's rollin in three by three
Gotta bounce with one, if not, damn - shame on me
It's gonna be a long, long summer
(And this is going out to my people in the hood)
It's gonna be a lotta, lotta drama
(Whatever you do, it's gonna be okay)
With all the fellas hanging out
And the girls blazing hot
It's gonna be a long, long summer
(Whatever you wanna do baby, we can)
Repeat 1
Boy I wanna party with you
All my girls wanna get with your crew
Pop Cristal all night long
If you're tight take me home
Oh baby, we can, we can oh yeah
Repeat 1 till end

From time to time, I like to indulge in a little bit of drinking so one day I decided to have an all day drinkfest and by the end of the night I ended up in South Beach starving and in dire need of something to eat. One reason or another the restaurant of choice was Bice Ristorante.
As a part of the Hotel Victor, Bice Ristorante, is a typical South Beach restaurant yet beautifully decorated and elegant with some nice design elements. The bathrooms are really nice too! The staff is friendly and seeks to provide a pleasant dining experience but all that aside, Bice Ristorante is just another over priced South Beach restaurant.
After a relatively short wait, the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp I ordered came out (I was starving and ready to dig in). The pasta itself was fine and the sauce was rich, creamy and cheesy, but once I bit into the first shrimp I realized the shrimp were not seasoned even with just a little bit of salt and pepper and there was no taste to be had what so ever. Actually the dish would have been better had it just been pasta and no shrimp, the shrimp left me disappointment.
Ultimately, it wasn't horrible but the price point far exceeds quality. I wouldn't recommend this as a place to dine on the beach, but if your main focus is to be on Ocean Dr and people watch, it's fine enough.

bareMinerals MATTE SPF 15 Foundation Reviews
BE Mineral Foundation Caused ItchingI started in the mineral makeup arena with Bare Escentuals. I was able to match my skin tone well, but could not continue to use it due to skin itching. I tried stopping, re-using, etc. and hadn't changed any other skin care products but got an irritating itchy feeling not long after the makeup was applied. I have since found Earth Angel Minerals with out the Bismuth and have no problem with itching. — 5 years agoUltraviolet1 | 4 reviews
bareMinerals Matte Foundation Rocks!I really like the coverage I get from the matte foundation. It makes my pores look almost invisible and the coverage lasts all day. My makeup actually looks better as the day goes on. Love it! — 5 years, 1 month agok.yanico | 1 reviews
Great FoundationI had the original formula for about two years, and liked it fairly well..more than liquid foundation anyway. Now that I have tried the matte formula I love it much more because it requires no touch ups during the day, gives my face an even finish, and looks so natural. I highly recommend this product. — 5 years, 1 month agocuitdenh | 16 reviews

Love this!!!I first tried it to see how it would interact with my sensitive skin. Once I used It I was amazed at the level of coverage from blemishes to imperfections and didn't irritate my skin. Another pro was tha my face doesnt look shiny even in the worst of weathers (tropical and humid). Would recommend it to everybody! — 5 years, 1 month agorama22 | 1 reviews
Bare Escentuals barely thereBare Escentuals with SPF15 Matte gives a great foundation, but so light you do not even feel it is there. This product goes on with a brush and stays all day. It is a wonderful product! — 5 years, 1 month agokagate | 23 reviews
$$nice at first than clogged my pores and gave me big under skin zits.....yikes! — 5 years, 1 month agolecyya | 7 reviews
at first i wasnt sure if i liked it,but then it just blended in and looked oh so naturalon application,although blending well with my skintone this foundation still felt as though it coated my skin,which i initially found uncomfortable.however after about 15 minutes the product did "set" considerably and the resulting finish was both subtle and natural. i bought it to give my face the occasional "break" from cosmetic overload(i use foundation almost daily)and considering that it cla...read moreims to contain substances that are beneficial for skin and with its light powdery texture,this seems to actually work as my skin has started to appear more blemish free. however,one reservation is that i do feel that it gives lighter coverage that doesnt tend to last as long. im also not crazy about the packing because if you are not careful you get powder everywhere. all in all however,its good karma for the skin! give good,get good! — 5 years, 1 month agofarzaana | 2 reviews

The only foundation for usI bought Bare Escentuals foundation a month ago for my two teenage daughters. I was tired of buying other foundations that looked thick and heavy and were very noticable. It also seemed like the other foundations just did not go on evenly. So I decided to give Bare Minerals a try. The foundation was easy to apply and went on evenly. It looked great on their skin and they said it felt like they didn't even have anything on! We will be customers for life! — 5 years, 1 month agoant | 1 reviews
Love the matte foundationI got the original for the first time when I got married back in 07. I was tired of the messy liquid an I did not like the way it felt so heavy on my face. I loved it then but the matte came out and with the primer it is wonderful.When I have to get up at 4 am for work I love the fact that I can do spot touches on my face to cover issue instead of putting make up over my whole face. I will not go back to a liquid foundation again!! — 5 years, 1 month agofletch07 | 1 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Take a look at the Vauxhall Viva – or Opel Karl in the rest of Europe. The South Korean-built minicar is very likely to be our next Chevrolet Spark.
Tag: Vauxhall
Despite problems with the Russian market, as well as restructuring costs, General Motors says Vauxhall and Opel are on their way out of the red and into the black.
General Motors took the step of killing off Chevrolet in Europe earlier this year, and has long attempted to position Opel and Vauxhall as mainstream but slightly more premium offerings (analogous to how Volkswagen was once marketed in the United States). And that makes news of a new line of budget cars all the more confusing.
The internet is littered with half-hearted, nonsensical clickbait encomiums to products that have a "notgonnahappen.com" chance of ever coming to our market. But this time, it's different – sort of.
The next Holden Commodore will come from GM's European product portfolio, but it won't carry the Commodore name either.
Today's installment of Quote of the Day comes from Mark Adams, design chief for Opel/Vauxhall and creator of the Monza concept, which is expected to set the design direction for the two brands in the near future – assuming that regulations don't get in the way.
Spurred on by the success of the Volkswagen Up! and Ford Ka, Vauxhall (and presumably Opel) will market a city car slotting below the Adam.
Holden may be losing the Commodore, but the brand will gain three new "premium" offerings, suggesting a possible direction for its famed HSV performance shop.
Appearing before Opel's best and brightest in Germany, General Motors CEO Mary Barra proclaimed her company's European brand, though unprofitable, is a vital one for the General.
Opel and Buick are going to get a lot cozier in the coming years if Dan Akerson has his way. The GM CEO wants the two companies to align their product portfolios even further, so that the high R&D costs of Opel products can be absorbed further.

Do you know who your customers are?
Customer satisfaction is key to business success. If your organization wants to get ahead in a challenging market and/or difficult economy, you could do much worse than understand who your customers are, what they want and how best to deliver that — or a close approximation of that.
Unfortunately, for many organizations, even that first step — understanding who customers are — is much harder than it ought to be. See if the following scenarios seem familiar to you:
- You receive a flyer in the mail inviting you to join a DVD rental service. You, however, already subscribe to that service.
- You turn up for an appointment at a healthcare institution. There you are required to fill out many forms, even though you filled out the same forms the last time you were there.
- You order a product over the Web. The company's site asks you each time which of several shipping addresses you'd like to use, and the default answer is not the correct one or even the most recent one you entered.
What these organizations have in common is a failure to reconcile customer data in an accurate and timely manner. It's a common problem, and the consequences go far beyond temporarily annoying customers (as doubtful a business strategy as that might be). Among other potential outcomes are diminished brand strength, lost revenue and needless expenditures in the form of printing, mailing and staff overhead.
In certain industries, even these consequences are trivialized by still more daunting possibilities. In healthcare, for instance, the failure to identify patients accurately in an emergency situation could result in a failure to render the proper medications, treatments or procedures required by a patient's condition. Even something as simple as an allergic reaction to a normally correct medication could lead to a truly catastrophic result.
A puzzle with no easy solutions
The root cause of the problem is difficult to address. Typically, an organization develops many databases for many purposes; each organizational silo may have its own version of a customer's information because the customer has interacted with the company in different ways, at different times, for different reasons. A hospital, for instance, may have patients' billing records, which are completely separate from medical records.
And this problem of record duplication, in turn, makes improving customer satisfaction much harder than it should be. If you don't know who your customers are, how can you align the services you provide with the services they want?
Fortunately, this issue is common enough that the IT industry has addressed it via master data management (MDM) solutions. These try to reconcile customer records across multiple databases, even fragmented databases, in order to provide a single version of "truth" — information about the customer, which can then be trusted and acted upon by business processes in order to yield a better outcome both for the organization and the customer.
Not all MDM solutions are created equal, though — a necessary reflection of the complex problem involved. Imagine that you have multiple databases, each of which should have at least one record representing a given customer… but possibly each database will have more than one record, and possibly none.
Now consider how many stumbling blocks exist for the software that attempts to sift through the information and arrive at an accurate reconciliation. The different records may not even represent the same individual at all, and even if they do, there may be varying field data concerning critical information such as street addresses, phone numbers, order history and other factors.
The software may not recognize that two or more records represent the same person or, arguably worse, it may create a false association that leaves the organization in an awkward position.
A logistics company, for instance, may find it is better not to deliver a package at all than deliver it to the wrong location. For healthcare, or law enforcement, still worse outcomes may apply.
De-duplication allows business to develop customer centric approach to interacting with their customers by making certain that all information about a customer is identified and collected together!
IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management can create a single, trusted view of your data
Those seeking the best available solutions to this problem should consider IBM's MDM portfolio. Our offerings are representative of IBM's commitment to smarter computing in an almost literal sense: their algorithms are unusually sophisticated, and the mathematics behind them is unusually rigorous. But they're also smarter solutions in a business sense: they can be integrated more easily and completely into an organization's infrastructure, they can be applied in more ways and the benefits they generate are more extensive as a result.
One clear example of such a solution: IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management. It's built around a matching engine that identifies not just likely matches of records across and within databases, but also estimates the probability of the match in order to de-duplicate as many records as possible, as automatically as possible — even given a large set of exceptionally large databases.
Furthermore, its capabilities can be centralized and extended — via service-oriented architecture (SOA) — in as many ways, to as many applications and services, as the organization requires. And it includes collaborative tasks that can be used to create tailored workflows that closely match an organization's needs, as well as pre-built, extensible data models that are specifically optimized for master data management.
A final note: it's worth considering that IBM is not just a leader in the MDM space — we are in fact the world leader, as measured by both market share and revenues (which, as of last year, were twice those of the nearest runner up).
And for independent confirmation of IBM's MDM strengths, there's the fact that IBM was given the prestigious Magic Quadrant award by Gartner Group. Gartner took note of our broad information management strategy, observed that our solutions are strong in a wide range of industries and geographies and singled us out, beyond any competitor, for our comprehensive ability to execute.
Scott Schumacher is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and Infosphere MDM Chief Scientist. He is a technology expert specializing in statistical matching algorithms for healthcare, enterprise, and public sector solutions. For more than 20 years Dr. Schumacher has been heavily involved in research, development, testing, and implementation of complex data analysis solutions, including work commissioned by the Department of Defense.
To effectively compete in today's changing world, it is essential that companies leverage innovative technology to differentiate from competitors. Learn how you can do that and more in the Smarter Computing Analyst Paper from Hurwitz and Associates.

Role-Playing (RPG)
DescriptionRole-playing video games are descendants of pen-and-paper RPGs. In those games character development is the main driving gameplay mechanic. Typically one or more characters are created and shaped by the player, then embark on a series of encounters that increase the inventory, wealth, or combat statistics of said character(s).
A role-playing game is not just any game in which the player "plays a role", i.e. controls a character and participates in exploration and narrative. Rather, the defining characteristic of role-playing games is player-dependent character growth. A role-playing game can be seen as such when player-controlled characters become stronger ("levels up") because of the player's actions (usually depending on experience points received for vanquishing enemies), rather than being upgraded automatically as dictated by the storyline. The degree of the player's involvement in shaping the characters may vary considerably: some RPGs offer vast customization possibilities, while others tend to simplify and even nearly automatize the process.
Traditional RPGs have turn-based combat and a fantasy setting (Wizardry series, Ultima series, Roguelikes, etc.). Later, other settings were introduced, and many RPGs - such as Diablo - began favoring action-based combat. In these games, Action is used as a modifier to the RPG genre.
By the late 1980's, the genre has been distinctly split into two main sub-genres: Western and Japanese (sometimes called console-style) RPG. Western RPGs typically favored free exploration and player-made decisions, while Japanese RPGs focused on following a linear story line. Japanese RPGs also tended to retain simple turn-based combat mechanics, and in many cases also random enemy encounters.
In many early Western RPGs the player was given the option to create an entire party of characters (usually up to six). Ultima games introduced the possibility of recruiting initially non-playable characters (NPCs) with their own personalities from the game world into the party. Beginning with Phantasy Star, Japanese RPGs followed this template and even elevated it to their cornerstone mechanic.
Late 1990's saw a "RPG revival" in the West. Fallout greatly expanded the usage of non-combat statistics and moral decisions during gameplay, while Baldur's Gate popularized real-time party-based combat.

Book Reviews
Why today would we want to look at this compilation assembled twenty-five
years ago? We still use this work because the words of the 1930s interviewees of
the W.P.A. Federal Writers' Project remain as fresh and clear as when Tyler and
Murphy found them. The personal remembrances from the actual former slaves
make this book important.
We know of slavery primarily from the perspective of the whites-the people
who kept most written records. They tell us about slavery. The elderly black
Texans who shared their remembrances with the field workers from the W.P.A.
Federal Writers' Project, however, knew about slavery from the inside out. They
had been there, and many of them bore the physical scars from their days in
In re-reading this fine study, I only regretted that the new printing failed to
include a new forward reviewing the intervening twenty-five years of scholarship
on Texas black history and on the W.P.A. slave narratives. Such an update could
have better directed readers to more recent works in these important areas. This
situation, however, does not detract from the importance of this study.
The Slave Narratives of Texas remains as pertinent to readers today as it was a
quarter century ago. This is not a book about slavery; this is a book about what it
was like to be a slave. As such it is recommended reading for anyone, young or
old, who genuinely wants to learn what life in Texas was like in the past.

Crown Jewel of Texas: The Story of San Antonio's River. By Lewis F. Fisher. (San
Antonio: Maverick Publishing Company, 1997. Pp. x+117. Illustrations,
preface, chronology, notes, bibliography, index. ISBN o-9651507-1-2.
$24.95, cloth.)
This history of the San Antonio River will replace the older work, The San
Antonio River, by Mary Ann Noonan Guerra. Fisher tells us the story of the river
that Frederick Law Olmsted described in 1856 as flowing pure as crystal but was
"cluttered with refuse and shunned as an eyesore" (p. 7), fifty years later. The
fragile nature of the river that was fed from springs flowing from the Edwards
Aquifer became quickly apparent shortly after the turn of the century when the
river all but stopped flowing. This led to an extensive debate as to whether to
bury it or save it. The most significant early event was the formation of the San
Antonio River Improvement Association in 1911, which led Mayor Callaghan to
approve the installation of a pump at an abandoned artesian well to feed water
into the river, a practice that continues to the present.
The great flood of 1921 led to another debate on whether to save it or pave it.
The decision to save it led to the construction of the Olmos Dam, which assisted
in saving the downtown in the flood of 1998, and an extensive beautification
project that resulted in the river walk, the "Crown Jewel of Texas"-the most vis-
ited tourist attraction in the state.
Fisher worked extensively with various primary and secondary sources to reveal
the give and take of urban politics between business and conservation groups.
The cover is extremely attractive and leads one to expect similar quality of illus-
trations in the text, but unfortunately the photos in particular in the text are all
