Serbian Mythology/Serbian Fairytales UPDATE may/2012UPDATE may/2012
Hey there,
Long long time without a post, but i've been quite busy so i have an excuse, sort of
Anyway, i would like to show you the first illustrations that i did for a very interesting project i currently working on.
These illustrations are done for the book that is called "Serbian Fairytales", and the name of this fairytale is "The Groom Snake".
I'm trully blessed because working on this project gave me another chance to work with some of my dearest friends and colleagues, Dusko Bjeljac, Dragan Bibin, and the Master, Petar Meseldzija.
Stay tuned, more is yet to come
(i will update this post as soon as i translate the shorter version of the fairytale, so, if you are interested you can read what it's all about).
"The Groom Snake"
Sun's Mother (vignette)
Moon's Mother (vignette)
Wind's Mother (vignette)
UPDATE jan/2012
hey guys,
These are some of the illustrations i did for the third and final tome of the Serbian Mythology trilogy, called "Rebels - Witches and Vampires".
Once again it was a pleasure to work with a team of super talented artists Ivica Stevanovic, Dragan Bibin, Milos Vujanovic and my very dear friend Dusko Bjeljac.
Milenko Bodirogic is once again responsible for the the beautiful stories and descriptions of the creatures that are included in the book.
It has really been a awesome experience working on the two books of Serbian Mythology, and i really hope you guys like it.
Pravampir (Arch Vampire)
In ancient times, that letters do not remember, both of which have been preserved only in the debris gleanings repressed memories of the people, there was Arch Vampire, a kind of ancestor of what would later, in a playful relationship between the soul and body, become a Vampire. This ancestor was, as usual, in comparison with their offspring much later, quite underdeveloped phenomenon - it was just a body, a very unusual body.
Arch Vampires body collects life impersonal force, a force that makes all world alive: the Sun, Moon, Earth, stars, day and night, objects, things, plants, animals, people, their thoughts and their shadows. And this force does not allow him not disappear in death. During the day hidden in his grave, he comes out at night to feed on blood, because life feeds on life. Arch Vampire is the ultimate sign of monstrous beauty of life.
Trivun Kalaba Riding his Steed
When dark night covered the earth, the village and its inhabitants retired to their houses, Trivun saddled up his stallion. Christmas was coming, and under that little piece of moonlight was a bluish crisp snow shinning. Kalaba was riding slowly, he bridled up the stallion as if afraid of hurting the silence and serenity of the night.
He visited the crossroads, cemeteries, entered the forest, but soon forgetting why he was doing it. He followed the flight of the owls, listened to howling of wolves, and foxes barking in love ...
Trivun Kalaba's Knife
Trivun Kalaba's Farm Animal Skulls
Lela and the Fox
Lela was seven years old, certainly not more, when that fox appeared. Beautiful, fawn and gold, and proud as it wasn't out of this world, it was like it came from a quiet, autumn fox kingdom.
It rolled around Lela, almost hiding her with the raised tail and it barked briefly, pointedly, as if laughing. Lela hugged the fox and crawled her fingers under the red fur and she barked also ...
Witch Flying on the Wallnut
These are the illustrations i did for the second tome of Serbian Mythology, Banished Demons.
It has been a great experience and even greater privilege to work on a such a cool project with so many talented people.
The super talented artist that also did the illustrations for the book are Milos Vujanovic, Ivica Stevanovic, Dragan Bibin, and one of my biggest role models while growing up, Master Petar Meseldzija.
Milenko Bodirogic is the brilliant writer and the editor of the book, but mostly the person that made sure this project saw the light of day.
Mora (Nightmare)
Nightmares come during the night when people sleep. They creep through the slightly open windows, under the distorted doors, through the keyholes, and they come into the houses. Then they lean on to the sleeping man and press him until they take his breath away, and the unbearable (hard) strangling begins.
They do not kill, they just exhaust a man from night to night. The feelings of a man possessed by a nightmare can shortly be described in four words: buried in grave alive. That is the way how nightmares give the terrible experience of living death, during which the consciousness still exists, but only to be the panic witness of disability and helplessness of the mutilated body.
Those who are possessed by nightmares, lay in the grave every night. They are afraid of their own beds, as much as the mortals are afraid of the black soil.
Babice (Midwives)
A Midwife is a restless shadow of a woman who dies during her pregnancy or labor. She wonders around furiously and uncalm, always reconsidering and evaluating from all points of view, one and only thought: how did it happen that life had been taken away from her at the very moment when she was supposed to give the new life, when she had bonded to it, when she had fallen in love with it, still unborn?
Midwives are, as we have said, furious, and theres no peace in fury. That is why they are revenging and venting their rage upon the most vulnerable, on those who are just the same as they used to be, exhausted by labor pain, by loosing blood and strength, on new mothers and the most unable, the weakest creatures in the world - upon babies.
Talason is a captured shadow whose measures are built in the basements of buildings, and that shadow is forced to live its life on as a ghost, guarding that building. Talason lives as long as the building lives. It can live along many human generations.
As for people the shell of the body is not important, while they are capturing the shadow, the Talasons are not interested in people, they are interested in their constructions. Originated from human contempt of life and living, Talasons, doomed by the act of creation, persist in it, the great contempt, not caring for human destinies and deeds, as long as they do not disturb the constructions they are guarding.
These are the rest of the illustrations. They only look complete when they are presented with text, so if you think they look empty or unfinished that's the reason
Hope you guys like it,

Archived Story
Wade Jones wins Redneck IslandPublished 11:59am Tuesday, January 8, 2013
A steady stream of friends and well-wishers Monday afternoon looked in on Redneck Island's Season 2 $100,000 winner Wade Jones at the Our Town convenience store to hear stories from the reality show's set and offer congratulations.
At a viewing party in Birmingham Saturday night, Jones was declared the winner of Country Music Television's Redneck Island, beating 13 other contestants in 30 days of off-the-wall competitions on a tropical island off the coast of Mexico.
Jones said he would use his winnings to put his 16-year-old daughter Hope through college. A sophomore at Benjamin Russell High School, Hope as yet is undecided about where to attend college, but her father said she likely will attend Central Alabama Community College her first two years.
He attributed his success on the show to staying out of the drama between other islanders. "They also liked my cooking," he said, "so they weren't anxious to vote me off the island right away."
At age 41, Jones was almost twice the age of most of the other competitors. He credited his physical stamina during the competition to taking vitamins and walking five miles every day prior to the opening of the local fall hunting season.
Contestants subsisted for one month on weekly rations of tuna, sardines, rice, noodles, potatoes and occasional canned goods. They lived in sparse conditions, including airless cabins in 100-degree temperatures.
The reality show's host, professional wrestler Steve Austin, was witty and easy to talk to, Jones said.
"He is a super-cool guy, a true actor," Jones said.
More than 40 local residents attended the viewing party at Fox and the Hounds in Birmingham to support Jones last weekend. Although some suspected he'd won, Jones said no one knew he had carried the competition that ended Oct. 16, 2012 until the final episode of the show ran during Saturday's party.
"Even my contact at CMT didn't know who had won until it was announced," he said. "I signed a contract stating I would not reveal the secret."
Jones will receive his winnings later this year, less 39 percent in taxes.
The support of his family, the folks in Alexander City and Our Town and his girlfriend Jan Jamil was humbling and overwhelming, Jones said.
"The folks here have always helped me along, and it blew my mind to arrive for the party and see them all there for me," Jones said.
See next week's Lake Martin Living magazine for more on this story.

Then I realized it was the code for un-locking the device. I then paid to get an un-lock code and when I type it in after placing the sim card in it fails every time.
After doing some research online it sounds like if I failed ten times it hard locks. Is there anyway to break the hard lock so I can type in the right code to unlock my phone?

Ben Morrison is a sweet guy who falls like a rock for Lauren Holt the first moment he sees her... but she's been scarred by life and won't even consider dating anyone. So, he settles in to be her friend, hoping she'll learn to trust him in time. Lots of fun banter between them and some very natural conflicts, between Lauren's hopes and fears, and especially between the newly-converted Ben and his very-non-Mormon family. The author does a great job of setting up a very convincing crisis of love and faith, and then resolving it in a satisfying way.
I'm not a Mormon, so there were things that went over my head, but overall I still really enjoyed reading this.
ChiefPam (Cary, NC), Amazon.com Review; May 12, 2004
Love Beyond Tomorrow is a wonderful story that reflects the challenges of finding that special person. Erin Klingler does a fabulous job of taking the reader back to their college days, and reminding us of how difficult love can be, how hard it is to have faith, and just how sweet the rewards really are. A beautiful story about faith, love, trust, and perseverance, Love Beyond Tomorrow is a story with something for everyone. Whether you've found your Mr. Right or you're still looking, Love Beyond Tomorrow helps to show the true perspective of what it's all about.

Tanner Frost
Tanner grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, where he became exposed to the great outdoors through backpacking, kayaking, and rock climbing in Boy Scouts. Rock climbing so enamored him he built a bouldering wall in his garage when he was sixteen. He later left for college to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where he experienced extensive canyoneering, and spelunking with some doses of ice climbing, and traditional climbing. He apprenticed for a guide service in Utah teaching rock climbing to young Boy Scouts. He worked as the Teaching Assistant for the Rock Climbing course at BYU. Tanner has been a Spanish teacher and volunteer English-as-a-Second-Language teacher for three years.

For contributing $1, I am an associate producer for The 1 Second Film--IMDB, the shortest film in history (official website). And I have a business card to prove it.
My dad and I were walking through town tonight and saw a bus with a trailer advertising something about a 1 second film. It is literally 1 second long, and will have 90 minutes of credits with a making-of documentary. Anyone can become an associate producer for contributing $1-9.99, a producer for $10-99.99, or an executive producer for $100 or more.
The crew is currently on their way to Chicago to ask Oprah for $1. The money will go to the Global Fund For Women.
Also, did you know Kiefer's full name is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland?
Just thought I'd share.

A refreshing new change for tissue and toilet paper cases. Modern and colorful, the paper pot is perfect for the bathroom as a toilet paper dispenser or as a tissue dispenser in any room. Top unscrews and has a rod in the center to set tissues on or to hold a toilet paper roll.

finally a stylish solution for Kleenex cheryl from McLean, VA on 07/18/2014 – Verified Buyer
I wasn't sure this would work - you tear open a square box of Kleenex, you unscrew the Paper Pot and you just drop the wad of Kleenex inside. Works like a charm, they dispense easily one by one and the Paper Pot comes in lots of colors. I'm up to four of them - one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They're not cheap but learn from my mistake and don't buy one of the really cheap versions that look the same in the picture but cost 7 or 8 dollars, they are NOT the same. They are much flimsier and you will break your fingernails trying to pry them open because they do not have the grooves for twisting it open or shut.

great conversation piece Mindy from Seymour, IN on 05/11/2014 – Verified Buyer
I purchased this in matte black for the lobby of the dental office I manage & it's a huge hit with the patients. I love the design aesthetics of this piece AND the versatility of being able to use either tissues or a toilet paper roll. Seriously considering purchasing a white one for home.

I don't mind Dunn batting 5th, in fact, I think it kinda makes sense. With Griffey batting 3rd, chances are he'll drive in some runs. Having Phillips next gives him a chance to get on, and Dunn at least has the possibility to get him around, or even hit more 2-run home runs than solo shots.
I don't know. It made sense in my head, but I'm not sure I explained my thinking very well.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This product has a very strong smell of vinegar after the fruity smell is gone, which is pretty fast. Also, not effective hair detangler.
This hair detangler smells absolutley divine! I love it because of the simple and pure ingredients and I love the way my hair smells after spraying ot in my hair. I spray some into my hair after having a shower and sometimes in the morning and brush it through since sometime my hair is really fluffy and frizzy in the morning. I love it!! I recommend it, even if you just want your hair to smell nice.

Monetta, Sc. (WRDW)-The Big Mo in Monetta is one of nine drive-in movie theaters receiving a digital projector from Honda's "Project Drive-In."
"Project Drive-In," sponsored by Honda, aimed to help drive-in theaters across the country stay in business. It started as the switch from 35 mm film distribution to digital projection threatened the shut down of hundreds of theaters.
People voted for which drive-in theaters they thought should receive a digital projector from Aug. 9 to Sept. 9, and one of those winning theaters was the Big Mo.

About 200 of the women and girls were said to be visibly pregnant among the hundreds of captives recently rescued in the Nigerian military fight against Boko Haram insurgents.
Nigerian activists and citizens are demanding more action as the country marks the one-year anniversary of the abduction of more than 200 teenage school girls.
Spaces for Change, a human rights advocacy group in Nigeria, recently organized a citizens' forum titled #BeyondTheHashtags "to generate a data bank of [citizens'] concerns" about the abduction of hundreds of the nation's girls as well as the "rising insurgency in the northern part of the country."
On Monday, hundreds of women marched in protest to the Lagos state government house to register their displeasure over the seeming inaction of the government to bring back the hundreds of girls who were abducted weeks ago.
On April 14, more than 300 school girls, according to the latest reports, were
kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram from a school in the northeastern Nigerian village of Chibok. The inability of the Nigerian government to recover the girls has led to growing frustration on the ground, and activists have also taken to social media and other platforms to demand action.

Great product. It keeps my hair looking fresh without residue or buildup. However, it doesnt last very long and the one for blondes has a yellow tint. Not classy xD i just opt for the original versions with scents. Floral and flirty blush smells amazing <3 It is very cheap and the packaging is cute and basic. I also love that this comes in travel size :) I recommend this to everyone, especially those with a busy lifestyle. I will definately be buying this little gem again!

I've tried soooo many dry shampoos they were either OK or just AWFUL! Treseme's one made my hair extremely greasy, Dove's gave me bad scalp buildup and irritation and smelled awful, Not You Mother's didnt do anything special for me. Everyone raves about this and I came across it and tried it. All I can say is WOW!
-no obnoxious smell
-no grey powdery residue on my hair
-still able to easily style an brush my hair afterwards.
-didnt make my hair sticky, dirty or strawlike. my hair still felt soft and clean.
-6 dollars at walgreens. cant beat that! also available at walmart, ulta, target, cvs, kmart
-comes in different shades. if you are a brunette they have one in a dark shade instead of a white powder if you're concerned about it showing in your hair. however I have black hair and I've never had issues using the original.
-no irritated scalp or gross buildup.
-gets rid of about 90% of my excess oil. definitely did not make it worse, my hair looked clean and volumized!
All in all, this is hands down the best dry shampoo on the market. I have no desire to try anything else. Run and get it now! you wont regret it!

I've tried sooooo many dry shampoos and saw no results. I was getting very frustrated until I saw this one and decided to try it. I got the original or classic or whatever it's called, and I love it! I will definitely repurchase because it works amazing! doesn't have any ridiculous smell, and doesn't leave your hair all white. totally one to try if you've gone throw a lot and are losing hope!

The only dry shampoo I will ever buy again!
I've tried the Suave professionals. 3/5.
I've had the TRESemm� one. 3/5.
I've had the Not Your Mother's dry shampoo and that was second to this one. 4/5
This one works SO well for me. I've had 2 or 3 cans of it. I have blonde hair that I have to wash daily because it gets so oily. Such a pain, especially with morning classes.
This product is fantastic. I can even skip a day of washing with it. Will forever repurchase.

Best dry shampoo next to the Victoria secret one in my opinion. I first purchased this product at Walmart, the white and brown dry shampoo (I went on a dry shampoo cray day) I also purchased the dove, tresemme and also some other brand at Walmart which was in a red aluminum bottle with a red top. Wow!! I can not begin to describe how great this product is, my hair is dark brown and if used currently the original white dry shampoo doesn't make my hair color look ashy at all. My favorite is the brown tinted dry shampoo. And best of all now Marshall's and TJMaxx carry it so I was able to get about 5 bottles for under $25 bucks! Lol

Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm

Out of all the dry shampoos I've tried - Tresemme, Suave, Dove, Pssst. and Not Your Mother's, this is by far the best! Others would leave my hair dull, feeling matted and dry, and still somehow greasy. I have the Deep & Dark Brown and Cherry varieties, and Cherry absorbs oil better than the Brown kind. I usually use Brown on day 1/2 since my hair isn't too terribly oily, and then switch over to Cherry on the 3rd day for the oil absorbing. Cherry does leave a gray cast but I find that brushing it out and massaging it in to my roots helps that a lot. Would definitely repurchase.

I FINALLY got around to picking this up at ulta. I Have tried, Tresseme-THE WORST Psssst- okay but takes forever to brush out and NYM Clean Freak- Second to this one, it will work in a pinch but is very grainy and also takes a while to brush out. I dont have the lightest hair and you can see this when I spray it on but I leave it on a few minutes, brush my teeth etc, then rub it in with my fingertips and brush the rest out. I had a surgery once that left me unable to properly shower as much as I would have liked and used this. No one could tell it was three day hair. I've tried the refreshing, paisley and cherry scents and have a can of the blush scent as my backup. I will continue to repurchase. I gave it a 4 because I wish it was more readily available and came in a bigger can. It can also leave a streak that can be hard to brush out occasionally. Pick it up, you wont be disappointed.

Love this dry shampoo! Bought this for a bargain of $5 at Marshall's in the scent "Fruity and Cheeky Cherry". The packaging is adorable, and it really does its job! This is a lifesaver and really volumizes and soaks up excess oil! Will for sure repurchase!

I love this dry shampoo. I've used it 4 times now, so I think I can give a pretty accurate review. I have oily hair, it sucks that I constantly have to wash my hair, sometimes I just want to preserve a style for more than just one day. I still have the urge to wash my hair though. Overall nice clean smell and great product.

I've been using this for a year now and I've repurchased so many times! I heard how washing your hair less is better and I've been wanting to go my hair out so I use dry shampoo in between washes. Its best to spray it, let it sit for a minute, then massage it in. Best product ever!

Controversial arrests of OccupyOakland participants raise civil liberties concerns
The uneasy relationship between OccupyOakland and the Oakland Police Department has resulted in a troubling spate of controversial arrests recently.
At a press conference last month, Police Chief Howard Jordan stated, "The plaza area outside of City Hall is a public area. We do not have any legal right to remove you if you're standing there, at any time during the day, if you're exercising you're First Amendment rights. If you're not breaking the laws, we're not concerned about your presence."
But now, Oakland police have arrested dozens of people who were doing little more than "standing there, exercising their First Amendment rights" — and one man even faces life in prison for it.
There have been 40 arrests in the last couple weeks, including two incidents at Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza. In each episode, police say they were just doing their job, enforcing laws surrounding permit violations. But many supporters and lawyers associated with OccupyOakland say that police have created a targeted and discriminatory campaign to wipe out the movement.
About 100 protesters were present at a permitted vigil on Dec. 30. An OccupyOakland participant had been issued a permit for a teepee and one table, but police showed up at noon to explain that they were in violation of that permit, claiming people were sleeping, eating, bringing in trash cans, and storing belongings in the teepee
Protesters say they were cleaning up the plaza when police started making arrests; police say they refused to comply. But both parties say that the scene turned violent.
"Who instigates the violence? I don't know," Matt Perry, a movement supporter, told us. "A cop tells you to back up and you don't back up, he's gonna use his baton on you."
But many of the arrests and citations had nothing to do with assault. Carly says she was arrested for "having a yoga mat under her arm." She was later charged with obstruction of justice. In an even more puzzling case, 23-year-old Tiffany Tran was arrested and charged with "lynching."
"The taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer is a lynching," reads California Penal Code 405a, a felony charge punishable by two to four years in prison.
The law attempts to prevent white mobs from forcibly taking African Americans from police custody to kill them, but police have a history of using it against protesters, stating that anyone trying to stop an arrest is guilty of lynching.
Tran says she was held in a pitch-dark police van for seven hours before she was booked at Santa Rita Jail, where she was held in 22-hour daily lockdown due to overcrowding. She was held for four days without being told why.
On the fourth day, she was finally arraigned, but prosecutors opted not to file charges and she was released. But Tran said the tactic left her uneasy because prosecutors said charges could still be filed until the statute of limitations expires in a year. As she told us, "Now I feel I can't go out and express myself as I should be able to."
When I arrived at 10pm on Jan. 4 to investigate the situation at the vigil, the scene was calm. About 40 people sat and talked, a few worked on computers.
"Some of the people here were arrested mainly for contempt of cop, or being against the government. And then charges of lynching or obstruction of justice were brought after the fact to substantiate an unlawful arrest, to allow the wheels of so-called justice to turn a few more times," Svend La Rose, an ordained minister and member of OccupyOakland's tactical action committee, said of the Dec. 30 arrests.
Suddenly, the cry of "riot police!" rang out.
Police cars had pulled up on 14th street, and a line of police exited. In unison, they started advancing, brandishing batons. Many who were at the scene grabbed their possessions and fled. Most just backed away as the cops advanced. A handful stood in front of the teepee, and were arrested on the spot.
Twelve were arrested, including La Rose. Also arrested was Adam Katz, a photographer from the media committee who was documenting events. Katz said that police told him to back up, and when he complied and backed up "probably 50-60 feet," he was still arrested.
"I took one picture and I was told to back up," he said. "I repeatedly asked 'Back up to where?' as an army of police pushed me out of the plaza. They said, 'Back up behind the line.' I kept saying, 'What line? I don't see a line.'"
Then there's Chris, another occupier arrested Jan. 4. According to Katz and other witnesses, Chris had already left the plaza and gone across the street when he was arrested for somehow delaying the police who were trying to clear the plaza.
On Jan. 7, OccupyOakland held an "anti-repression march," claiming that recent arrests are an overt attempt to repress the movement. The National Lawyers Guild issued a statement demanding an end to the "ongoing violence, harassment, and unconstitutional arrests of Occupy Oakland protesters."
"There is evidence that would go to show that they were targeting people based on First Amendment activity, and not for illegal activity," said attorney Mike Flynn, president of the NLG-SF. "Police charged into the plaza and grabbed whoever they could, and also targeted selective people who withdrew and didn't even linger there."
But OPD spokesperson Johnna Watson told us these arrests were perfectly legal. "The law allows us to use our discretion," she said.
A person's history with the movement is factored into this discretion. Many of those Perry deems "regulars" are, according to the police, "repeat offenders." As Watson said, "There may be knowledge of a past history, like a repeat offender. If an officer has knowledge that a crime is occurring, has occurred, or is about to occur, we have the right to issue a citation or arrest. If we have someone constantly continuing to break the law, we may not issue a citation."
In other words, involvement with this political movement can get people arrested who might otherwise not be.
"That police have escalated their attacks on people is pretty disturbing. It looks like they really think they can drive this movement out of Oakland with violence and repression," said Dan Siegel, a former legal advisor to Mayor Jean Quan who resigned over her handling of OccupyOakland.
Siegel is now representing Marcel Johnson, aka Khali, one of the several protesters arrested Dec. 30, who faces life in prison. A homeless man who became an OccupyOakland regular, Khali was arrested when he tried to hold on to his blanket, which police wanted to throw away, saying that it was unpermitted property.
While in jail, he was charged with felony assault on a police officer, his third strike. A protester called Black Angel who knows Khali said he was transformed by the movement. "He came here and found a family," he said. "He was like, I'm going to protect this. It gave me some sense of myself."
But now, Siegel said, "He faces life in prison because of his status of being poor, homeless, and with mental health issues."
Juries may decide whether OccupyOakland defendants are guilty, but Siegel said the arrests aren't just: "You still have to ask yourself, why are the police doing this when we have 100 unsolved murders in Oakland?"

Gerard Butler and Dennis Quaid danced with sick children at a special movie screening.
The two actors hosted an airing of their new movie 'Playing for Keeps' at the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood for a group of cancer-stricken youngsters and delighted the kids with their friendly natures.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "At one point, Dennis was dancing in a circle with four little girls and teaching them hokey-pokey steps.
"Gerard picked up another girl who was wearing a pretty scarf covering her bald head, then spun her around and danced with her. She was laughing so hard she got hiccups. It was really touching to see the interaction."
Gerard recently admitted working on the film had made him want to have children of his own.
The 43-year-old actor - who is dating model Madalina Ghenea - said: "I have a girlfriend and she's very nice, and I would love to settle down at some point for sure. Especially doing a movie like this, you play a father and you hang out with these kids and they're awesome.
"I mean genuinely awesome! To the point where you go, I want a kid, I want a kid just like you."

Accounting is concerned with providing the information, which will help the decision makers in decision making. It involves the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to users. Such information can be reports, including balance sheets, income statements and cash flows. These are the standard reports which present financial information in a different way. Here, Finkelstein is considering a project to upgrade the mall. Finkelstein will need Management accounting information to make a decision on the proposed project because of following reasons:
• It is primarily forward looking, instead of historical.
• It is based with a degree of abstraction to support the decision making.
• It is designed and intended to use within the organization.
Management accounting is concerned with the activity of providing financial and non-financial information to enable the management to take decisions. It develops both quantitative and qualitative information, which is futuristic in character and relevant for decision-making in the organization. Financial and quantitative information can be extracted from the owner's accounting records.
Additional accounting and non- accounting information, which are needed, are following:
Additional accounting information:
• Information related to the profits.
• Position of the organization.
• What accounting period to follow?
Additional non-accounting information:
• Customer preferences towards the expansion.
• Strength and weakness of the competitors.

You should rule a great country As you would fry a small fish- With the least turning.
Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)
Contributed by: Zaady
Understand this if nothing else: spiritual freedom and oneness with the Tao are not randomly bestowed gifts, but the rewards of conscious self-transformation and self-evolution.
Source: The Hua Hu Ching, (70)
To see things in the seed, that is genius.
Chanting is no more holy than listening to the murmur of a stream, counting prayer beads no more sacred than simply breathing. . . . If you wish to attain oneness with the Tao, don't get caught up in spiritual superficialities.
Source: The Hua Hu Ching, (47)
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Source: The Way of Lao-Tsu
There are three layers to the universe. In the lower, Tai Ching, and the middle, Shan Ching, the hindrance of a physical bodily existence is required. Those who fail to live consistently in accord with the Tao reside here. In the upper, Yu Ching, there is only Tao: the bondage of form is broken, and the only thing existing is the exquisite energy dance of the immortal divine beings.
Source: The Hua Hu Ching, (63)
Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.
Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Source: The Hua Hu Ching, (11)
If you attach yourself to gross energies -- loving this person, hating that clan, rejecting one experience or habitually indulging in another -- then you will lead a series of heavy, attached lives. This can go on for a very long and tedious time.
Source: The Hua Hu Ching, (34)
The first practice is the practice of undiscriminating virtue: take care of those who are deserving; also, and equally, take care of those who are not. When you extend your virtue in all directions without discriminating, you feet are firmly planted on the path that returns to the Tao.

Hello everyone, thought I'd share some pictures I've taken recently. Couple weeks ago I went outside because it was a gorgeous warm evening with the moon light. I played around a little bit with the light. I got one image with the dog and cat moving, the shutter was open for about thirty seconds. Lol
Sage had her pedicure yesterday too. She was pretty good for it being her second time being hot shod. He does a great job, really like his work. I haven't had time to ride Sage in a few weeks. It has been so windy that she had a couple wind knotts that I untangled yesterday too. She's really starting to fill out too.
Thank you for looking.
Buddy and Fluffy.

I was 29 weeks and delivered him on 10/23/2012 @ 2:32pm. He had trisomy 18, which I have never heard of until the day they told me that it was possible he had this condition. After searching the internet I knew the outcome would be grim. However, I was still hopeful for the day that I would deliver and get to meet him, even if it was for a brief moment. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, but it was still a happy wonderful experience that I would never give up. I pray he knows how much I love him and that I will forever miss him. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I feel such sorrow and pain so deep in my heart.
Thank you for listening. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who have or are going through a loss.

An Irish blend matured in used bourbon barrels and finished in Concannon Petite Sirah wine barrels. Very clean and fresh, with mouth-coating honeyed malt, vanilla, tropical fruit, and golden raisin. Fleeting, light oak finish. (Vol. 21, #1)
The result of a teaming of Ireland's Cooley Distillery and Concannon Vineyards, this Irish Whiskey was distilled from malted barley and corn and initially aged in American Bourbon barrels. To impart a uniquely fruity character before bottling, it was then finished for a minimum of four months in Petite Sirah barrels that Concannon had shipped to Ireland. This unique expression of cask finishing is an exciting entry in the expanding Irish Whiskey marketplace.

Cardiac catheterization is the passage of a catheter through peripheral arteries or veins into cardiac chambers, the pulmonary artery, and coronary arteries and veins. Cardiac catheterization can be used to do various tests, including angiography, intravascular ultrasonography, measurement of cardiac output (CO), detection and quantification of shunts, endomyocardial biopsy, and measurements of myocardial metabolism. These tests define coronary artery anatomy, cardiac anatomy, and cardiac function to establish diagnoses and help select treatment. Cardiac catheterization is also the basis for several therapeutic interventions.
Patients must be npo for 4 to 6 h before cardiac catheterization. Most patients do not require overnight hospitalization.
Left heart catheterization is most commonly used to assess coronary artery anatomy; it is also useful for assessing aortic BP and systemic vascular resistance, aortic and mitral valve function, and left ventricular (LV) pressure and function. The procedure is done by femoral see Approach to the Critically Ill Patient:Procedure, subclavian see Procedure, radial, or brachial artery puncture, with a catheter passed into the coronary artery ostia or across the aortic valve into the LV. Catheterization of the left atrium (LA) and LV is occasionally done using transseptal perforation during right heart catheterization.
Right heart catheterization is most commonly used to assess right atrial (RA), right ventricular (RV), and pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP—see Figure: Diagram of the cardiac cycle, showing pressure curves of the cardiac chambers, heart sounds, jugular pulse wave, and the ECG.; and see Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP)); PAOP approximates LA and LV end-diastolic pressure. In seriously ill patients, PAOP helps assess volume status and, with simultaneous measurements of CO, can help guide therapy. Right heart catheterization is also useful for assessing pulmonary vascular resistance, tricuspid or pulmonic valve function, intracardiac shunts, and RV pressure. Right heart pressure measurements may help in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, and cardiac tamponade when noninvasive testing is nondiagnostic. The procedure is done by femoral, subclavian, internal jugularsee Approach to the Critically Ill Patient:Procedure, or antecubital vein puncture. A catheter is passed into the RA, through the tricuspid valve, into the RV, and across the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery (see Procedure). Selective catheterization of the coronary sinus can also be done.

Specific Tests During Cardiac Catheterization
Injection of radiopaque dye into coronary or pulmonary arteries, the aorta, and cardiac chambers is useful in certain circumstances. Digital subtraction angiography is used for nonmoving arteries and for chamber cineangiography.
Coronary angiography via left heart catheterization is used to evaluate coronary artery anatomy in various clinical situations, as in patients with suspected coronary atherosclerotic or congenital disease, valvular disorders before valvular replacement, or unexplained heart failure.
Pulmonary angiography via right heart catheterization is used to diagnose pulmonary embolism. Intraluminal filling defects or arterial cutoffs are diagnostic. Radiopaque dye is usually selectively injected into one or both pulmonary arteries and their segments. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has largely replaced right heart catheterization for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
Aortic angiography via left heart catheterization is used to assess aortic regurgitation, coarctation, patent ductus arteriosus, and dissection.
Ventriculography is used to visualize ventricular wall motion and ventricular outflow tracts, including subvalvular, valvular, and supravalvular regions. It is also used to estimate severity of mitral valve regurgitation severity and determine its pathophysiology. After LV mass and volume are determined from single planar or biplanar ventricular angiograms, end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes and ejection fraction can be calculated.
Intravascular ultrasonography
Tests for cardiac shunts
Measuring blood O 2 content at successive levels in the heart and great vessels can help determine the presence, direction, and volume of central shunts. The maximal normal difference in O 2 content is 0.5 mL/dL between the pulmonary artery and RV, 0.9 mL/dL between the RV and RA, and 1.9 mL/dL between the RA and superior vena cava. If the blood O 2 content in a chamber exceeds that of the more proximal chamber by more than these values, a left-to-right shunt at that level is probable. Right-to-left shunts are strongly suspected when LA, LV, or arterial O 2 saturation is low (≤ 92%) and does not improve when pure O 2 (fractional inspirational O 2 = 1.0) is given. Left heart or arterial desaturation plus increased O 2 content in blood samples drawn beyond the shunt site on the right side of circulation suggests a bidirectional shunt.
Measurement of cardiac output and flow
CO is the volume of blood ejected by the heart per minute (normal at rest: 4 to 8 L/min). Techniques used to calculate CO include the Fick, indicator-dilution, and thermodilution techniques (see Cardiac Output Equations).
Cardiac Output Equations
With the Fick technique, CO is proportional to O 2 consumption divided by arteriovenous O 2 difference.
Dilution techniques rely on the assumption that after an indicator is injected into the circulation, it appears and disappears proportionately to CO.
Usually, CO is expressed in relation to BSA as the cardiac index (CI) in L/min/m 2 (ie, CI = CO/BSA— Normal Values for Cardiac Index and Related Measurements). BSA is calculated using DuBois height (ht)-weight (wt) equation:
Normal Values for Cardiac Index and Related Measurements
Endomyocardial biopsy
This procedure helps assess transplant rejection and myocardial disorders due to infection or infiltrative diseases. The biopsy catheter (bioptome) can be passed into either ventricle, usually the right. Three to 5 samples of myocardial tissue are removed from the septal endocardium. The main complication, cardiac perforation, occurs in 0.3 to 0.5% of patients; it may cause hemopericardium leading to cardiac tamponade.
Coronary artery flow measurements
Coronary angiography shows the presence and degree of stenosis but not the functional significance of the lesion (ie, how much blood flows across the stenosis). Extremely thin guidewires are available with pressure sensors or Doppler flow sensors. Data from these sensors can be used to estimate blood flow, which is expressed as fractional flow reserve (FFR). FFR is the ratio of maximal flow through the stenotic area to normal maximal flow; an FFR of < 0.75 to 0.8 is considered abnormal. These flow estimates correlate well with the need for intervention and long-term outcome; lesions with good FFR do not seem to benefit from stenting. These flow measurements are most useful with intermediate lesions (40 to 70% stenosis) and with multiple lesions (to identify those that are clinically most significant).
Relative contraindications to cardiac catheterization include
Renal insufficiency
Systemic infection
Uncontrolled arrhythmia or hypertension
Uncompensated heart failure
Radiopaque dye allergies in patients who have not been appropriately premedicated (see Allergic-type contrast reactions)
Injection of radiopaque dye produces a transient sense of warmth throughout the body in many patients. Tachycardia, a slight fall in systemic pressure, an increase in CO, nausea, vomiting, and coughing may occur. Serious complications (eg, cardiac arrest, anaphylactic reactions, shock, seizures, cyanosis, renal toxicity) are rare. Rarely, bradycardia occurs when a large amount of dye is injected; asking the patient to cough often restores normal rhythm. Patients with a high Hct are susceptible to thrombosis; the Hct should be < 65% before angiography is done. Allergic reactions may include urticaria and conjunctivitis, which usually respond to diphenhydramine 50 mg IV. Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, and dyspnea are rare reactions; they are treated with inhaled albuterol or epinephrine 0.3 to 0.4 mL sc. Anaphylactic shock is treated with epinephrine and other supportive measures. If the catheter tip contacts the ventricular endocardium, ventricular arrhythmias commonly occur, but ventricular fibrillation is rare. If it occurs, direct current (DC) cardioversion is administered immediately (see Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in Adults : Defibrillation). Radiopaque dyes, all hypertonic, are excreted by the kidneys and may worsen renal insufficiency. For patients at risk, infusion of normal saline IV reduces this risk.
Mortality rate is 0.1 to 0.2%. MI (0.1%) and stroke (0.1%) may result in significant morbidity. Incidence of stroke is higher in patients > 80 yr. Dissection of a coronary artery can complicate angiography. Local vascular injury at the peripheral insertion site of catheterization can cause hemorrhage or formation of pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas.

8.223441 - WALDTEUFEL: The Best of Emile Waldteufel, Vol. 3
Emile Waldteufel (1837-1915)
Volume 3
Like Johann Strauss, Emile Waldteufel came from a family of dance musicians, being preceded in the business by his father Louis (1801-84) and brother Léon (1832-84). Despite their Germanic surname, the family were French. This is explained by the fact that they hailed from Alsace, which despite strong German traditions had been fully integrated into France since 1793.
Emile Waldteufel was born in Strasbourg on 9 December 1837, just seven weeks after the elder Johann Strauss gave his first concert on French soil in that very city. When he was seven the family moved to Paris for Léon to take up a place as a violin student at the Paris Conservatoire. Emile Waldteufel was to live in Paris for the rest of his life, and he in turn studied piano at the Conservatoire from 1853 to 1857, his classmates there including Jules Massenet.
Meanwhile the family dance orchestra was becoming one of the best-known in Paris, increasingly in demand for Society balls during Napoleon III's Second Empire. In 1865 Emile was appointed court pianist to the Empress Eugénie in succession to Joseph Ascher (composer of 'Alice, where art thou?'), performing at Court functions not only in Paris but in Biarritz and Compiègne. From 1867 the Waldteufel orchestra played at Napoleon III's magnificent Court balls at the Tuileries.
After the Franco-Prussian War the orchestra again presided at the Presidential balls at the Élysée. Yet so far Emile Waldteufel's dances had been known only to a relatively limited Society audience. By the time international fame came he was almost forty. In 1874 he happened to be playing at a soirée attended by the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII. The Prince complimented him on his waltz Manolo and agreed to help launch his music in London.
The result was a long-term publishing contract with the London firm of Hopwood & Crew. Since the firm was half-owned by Charles Coote, director of Coote & Tinney's Band, the premier London dance orchestra, this also gave access to the musical programmes of Queen Victoria's State Balls at Buckingham Palace. For several years Emile Waldteufel's music dominated the programmes there, generating him world-wide fame as he turned out a string of works that enjoyed huge popularity - including his best-known work Les Patineurs ('The Skaters') in 1882.
His French publisher Durand, Schoenewerk was now forced to buy the French rights to these works from Hopwood & Crew. So later did the German firm of Litolff, in whose editions the works sometimes appeared under slightly different German names. In addition, to suit Germanic custom, in 1883 Litolff retrospectively began an opus numbering system. This began at 101 to make arbitrary allowance for early works, and for various reasons many works were numbered out of chronological sequence, thereby providing a source of much confusion ever since.
In 1890 and 1891 Waldteufel conducted at the Paris Opéra Balls, and his orchestra continued to provide dance music for Presidential Balls, as well as for other Society functions, until 1899, when he retired. He continued to compose, but in a style that was already outdated. He died in Paris on 12 February 1915 at the age of 77. His wife, a former singer Célestine Dufau, whom he married in 1871 and by whom he had two sons and a daughter, had died the previous year.
Waldteufel was recognised as a good-natured person, with a ready sense of humour-characteristics that are readily perceivable in his music. Unlike the music of Johann Strauss, Waldteufel's perhaps scales no great architectural heights, but rather seeks to enchant by the grace and charm of his melodies and their gentle harmonies. By comparison with Strauss's very masculine creations, there is undoubtedly more of a feminine feel about Waldteufel's waltzes. Unlike Strauss, he conducted with a baton rather than a violin bow, and he composed at the piano, his works being orchestrated later. The standard Waldteufel orchestration was for strings, double woodwind, two cornets, four horns, three trombones and ophicleide (or tuba), plus timpani and percussion.
After Waldteufel's death his music continued to hold a place in the affections of ordinary music-lovers alongside that of Johann Strauss. The conductor of these recordings, Alfred Walter, recalls having a lot of Waldteufel's music at his childhood home in Southern Bohemia - not only for piano but also in arrangements for piano trio which were played in his musical family. If in recent decades Emile Waldteufel's music has been overshadowed by that of the Strausses, it is with correspondingly greater freshness that we are able to rediscover its grace and charm today.
The Works
Unfortunately Paris newspapers did not report the titles of dances played at Society balls. Thus the best available dating of Emile Waldteufel's works comes from publication records and dates of registration with the French performing right society S.A.C.E.M. In the following notes, the original French titles are given, together with English translations and the titles under which the works were published in Germany.
Soirée d'été ('Summer Evening' / 'Ein Sommerabend'), Valse, Op. 188 (1883)
This appropriately sunny, airy waltz was dedicated to Madame Morton, who was probably a member of Parisian Society during the years of the French Third Republic.
Invitation à la gavotte ('Invitation to the Gavotte'), Op. 246 (1891)
Emile Waldteufel's dance compositions were mostly confined to waltzes and polkas. This piece in gavotte rhythm, dedicated by the composer to his friend Paul Mathey, is therefore something of an oddity in his output. Since it was registered with the French performing right society S.A.C.E.M. in February 1891, it may well have been introduced at one of that year's Carnival balls. In 1937 it was included in a programme introduced by the composer's son Henri for the BBC in London to celebrate the centenary of the composer's birth.
Les Sirènes ('The Sirens' / 'Sirenenzauber'), Valse, Op. 154 (1878)
The legend of the sirens who enticed unwary seafarers with their enchanting music has long fascinated composers and artists. Emile Waldteufel's evocation has justly remained one of his most popular waltzes. Indeed, of all Waldteufel's waltzes, this was the one that had the greatest initial success in Britain, the piano edition far outselling other Waldteufel titles. The whole waltz is full of enchantment, with a haunting siren's call in the introduction and a main theme that is of interest for using the same rhythm as for the opening themes of Les Patineurs and Acclamations. The waltz was first published in London in 1878 and introduced there, together with Hommage aux dames, at a State Ball at Buckingham Palace on 22 May 1878. It is dedicated to the composer's friend Louis Dufour, who in 1874 had succeeded Olivier Métra as musical director at Montmartre's leading dance-hall, the Élysée-Montmartre in the Boulevard de Rochechouard. Dufour was to achieve a sort of immortality not only through this dedication but also by being depicted, with baton raised, directing the music for a quadrille in Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's drawing 'Le Quadrille de la Chaise Louis XIII a l'Élysée-Montmartre'.
Ma Voisine ('My Neighbour' / 'Meine Nachbarin'), Polka, Op. 206 (1886)
This charming polka is indeed a jolly piece that oozes good neighbourliness. The neighbour of the title is, of course, female, but the published edition gives no clue to what human story may lie behind its composition. However, it is tempting to link it with the story of how the composer and his future wife first met in the 1860s. According to their son Henri, they were occupying humble rooms on opposite sides of a narrow street in Montmartre. One day Emile heard the most exquisite notes carolling out from the other side of the street. His wife-to-be was practising and, as the days went on, Emile found that she had no piano to practise on, but only a tuning fork. Without showing himself - at least in the beginning - he set himself to accompany her, picking up on his piano the operatic airs that floated out of one window into the other.
Les Sourires ('The Smiles' / 'Holdes Lscheln'), Valse, Op. 187 (1883)
This lovely waltz proved particularly popular at State Balls at Buckingham Palace in the 1880s, and the composer himself conducted it at Covent Garden on the opening night of his season there in November 1885. Of that occasion the Daily Chronicle reported: 'Les Sourires was never given with greater verve than last night in obedience to his baton. Applause long and loud followed the finely balanced melody with its graceful adornments in orchestral effects.' The key to the title lies in its dedication to 'Madame Maurice Ephrussi, née de Rothschild'. She was Charlotte Beatrix de Rothschild (1864-1934), second daughter of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild (1827-1905), head of the Paris branch of the famous banking family. The waltz evidently aims to capture the smiles of joy associated with her marriage to Maurice Ephrussi, a member of another banking family. Emile Waldteufel was often to be found presiding at the splendid balls of the Rothschilds at their grand mansion, the former home of the Prince de Talleyrand in the Rue St Florentin, overlooking the Place de la Concorde.
Pluie de diamants / Pluie d'or ('Golden Rain' / 'Goldregen'), Valse, Op.160 (1879)
The original title of this waltz was apparently Pluie de diamants, which means not only 'diamond rain' but also a 'shower of diamonds' such as might be found suspended from a lady's neck at any elegant Parisian ball. In London, however, the title was changed to Pluie d'or ('Golden Rain'), which for British minds has given it associations with fireworks. The British title was in turn translated into German when the work was published by Litolff. Whether associated with jewels or fireworks, the work begins with a suitably dazzling kaleidoscopic display in polonaise rhythm, prefacing another of the best-known and most truly inspired of all Emile Waldteufel's waltzes. The work carries a dedication to the Baroness Hoffmann.
Très jolie ('Very Pretty' / 'Ganz allerliebst'), Valse, Op. 159 (1878)
Yet another of the very finest Waldteufel waltzes from the years of his great international success, this develops quite splendidly, with the cumulative effect of the inflections of rhythm and dynamics building up an irresistible climactic sweep. Note especially the third waltz section, in which the violins flirt deliciously with the trombones, and the broadening of melody in the fourth waltz section, where dotted minims make up 29 of 30 consecutive bars of the 32-bar trio. The work carries a dedication to Vicomtesse Léonie de Chabrol.
La Cinquantaine / Joyeux Paris ('Merry Paris' / 'Jubel-Polka'), Polka, Op. 215 (1886)
As with Pluie de diamants, this most sprightly and agreeable polka has a curious history of name-changes. It was published in Paris in 1886 under the title La Cinquantaine, which means 'the fifty (or so)' - though just what this referred to is unclear. In London, Hopwood & Crew retained the piece unpublished for many years until, in 1901, they finally issued it under the revised title of Joyeux Paris ('Merry Paris'). The name change may simply have been to appeal better to the public, but it may also have been to avoid comparisons with the popular 'air in ancient style' La Cinquantaine by Gabriel Marie. This had been published in Paris in December 1887 - curiously the month of Waldteufel's own fiftieth birthday!
Tout en rose ('Through Rose-Coloured Spectacles' / 'In bester Laune'), Valse, Op. 200 (1885)
By comparison with the three everlastingly popular Waldteufel waltzes heard earlier in the programme, this has long been unjustly neglected and thus provides a correspondingly refreshing conclusion to the programme. It was dedicated to Mademoiselle Marie Durrieu.

Czecho-Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra (Košice)
The East Slovakian town of Košice boasts a long and distinguished musical tradition, as part of a province that once provided Vienna with musicians. The State Philharmonic Orchestra is of relatively recent origin and was established in 1968 under the conductor Bystrik Rezucha. Subsequent principal conductors have included Stanislav Macura and Ladislav Slovák, the latter succeeded in 1985 by his pupil Richard Zimmer. The orchestra has toured widely in Eastern and Western Europe and plays an important part in the Košice Musical Spring and the Košice International Organ Festival.
For Marco Polo the orchestra has made the first compact disc recordings of rare works by Granville Bantock and Joachim Raff. Writing on the last of these, one critic praised the orchestra for its competence comparable to that of the major orchestras of Vienna and Prague. The orchestra has contributed many successful volumes to the complete compact disc Johann Strauss II and for Naxos has recorded a varied repertoire.
Alfred Walter
Alfred Walter was born in Southern Bohemia in 1929 of Austrian parents. He studied at the University of Graz and in 1948 was appointed assistant conductor to the Opera of Ravensburg. At the age of 22 he became conductor of the Graz Opera, where he continued until 1965, while serving at Bayreuth as assistant to Hans Knappertsbusch and Karl Böhm. From 1966 until 1969 he was Principal Conductor of the Durban Symphony Orchestra in South Africa, followed by a period of fifteen years as General Director of Music in Münster. In Vienna he has worked as guest conductor at the State Opera and in 1986 was given the title of Professor by the Austrian Government. In 1980 he was awarded the Golden Medal of the International Gustav Mahler Society. For Marco Polo, Alfred Walter has recorded more than 15 volumes of the label¡¦s John Strauss II Edition, works by von Schillings, von Einem, de Bériot, Reinecke and all symphonic works of Furtwängler. He is currently engaged in recording the complete symphonies of Spohr.

Let's say I have a model like this
class Foo(db.Model):
id = db.StringProperty()
bar = db.StringProperty()
baz = db.StringProperty()
And I'm going a GqlQuery like this
foos = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Foo")
I want to take the results of the GqlQuery and turn into some sort of JSON string that I can manipulate from different languages.
Here's how I'm doing it now
Add a method to the Foo class that converts it into a dictionary
def toDict(self): return { 'id': self.id, 'bar': self.bar, 'baz': self'baz }
Loop through the GqlQuery results and manually add each Foo instance to a dictionary
fooDict = {} for foo in foos: fooDict[foo.id] = foo.toDict() return simplejson.dumps(fooDict)
My approach above works but it feels kind of gross.
Is there a cleaner, more "Pythonic" way to handle this?
The end format doesn't have to be exactly what I've done above. It just has to be something that converts nicely to JSON so I can deal with it from Javascript/PHP/whatever.
