Let's start off the weekend with a Walk in Florida Canyon, a la Francaise!
That's right, we'll meet at Balboa Park at 9:30 am this Saturday. We'll walk over to Florida Canyon for a short hike and return to pick up a coffee/drink at Babycakes next to the Balboa Tennis Club. We will return to the start point to finish our drinks and do a potluck picnic on the grass (an option). Please bring chairs and ground tarps if the weather is good.
The main focus is to speak French, meet new people, and enjoy the beach in the morning. We will mostly be speaking in French, so this is for average to advanced speakers. But if you are learning and want to listen in, pas de probleme.
Wearing your French beret, French maid outfit, and bringing a bucket of French fries is highly recommended, but absolutely optional. :D
Though, please note, dogs are not allowed at the park (even if you carry it).
They even asked me to leave because they thought I was a...'St. Bernard.'
We will wait about 10 min. before leaving for the walk. So you can catch up with us on the plant walk if you are late.
PS - If you don't RSVP you won't be able get last minute notices as in cancellations, time/location changes, etc...)
This meetup is always free of charge and generously sponsored by Sophie Juster, a certified french teacher from Paris. Check out her site at www.fromenglishtofrench.com. The rates for the lessons start at $9.99/hr.
C'était une agréable promenade et merci à Jean pour ma première leçon de pétanque!

Stun gun critics seek statewide standardsJune 27,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — Advocates for people with disabilities say Vermont has failed to come up with a statewide policy and training on police use of stun guns in the more than a year after a 39-year-old Thetford man was killed by one.
Representatives of Vermont Legal Aid and the American Civil Liberties Union joined three lawmakers in speaking out on the issue at the Statehouse a year and a week after Macadam Mason's death.
Mason, who had epilepsy and a psychiatric disability, died after being hit in the chest by a Taser used by State Police Senior Trooper David Shaffer, whom Attorney General William Sorrell later cleared of any wrong doing.
Speakers at Thursday's news conference said they support legislation saying they support legislation calling for statewide standards and accountability for Taser use.MORE IN This Just In

Hubless coupling vs. Fernco
I just had my MBR toilet moved about 3'. The plumber removed a section of the 3" cast and replaced it with PVC and used a Fernco to connect the new PVC to the old cast. Is a Fernco OK for this application or does it need a hubless coupling?
Fernco's are often used to transition from cast to PVC. As long as he used the correct size and configuration, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
Thank you.
Fernco is fine as long as it is above ground.

193k DPS with emerald, 203k with ruby. Guess I'll have at least one thing to farm for with 1.0.7, I wonder how hard it's going to be to get the plans.
ya for those of us who bought weapons specifically for the new ruby its going to be a huge buff.
and they even buffed mruby from 150 in ptr to 160 in live.
02/12/2013 01:35 PMPosted by esorbmaWhat makes a weapon especially good for the new average damage that the rubies will provide?
Also... I believe they modified it so the dmg % modifier doesnt do anything with rubies. That was the initial PTR ruby which was sweet.... now it's a straight dmg modifier to min/max dmg. So really the only thing that allows benefit from rubies is higher aps weapon which would give more dps from it.
Whether your weapon has 20% dmg modifier or 50% dmg modifier doesn't matter anymore.
02/12/2013 03:15 PMPosted by ChuckNorrisyou are mistaken and I just logged in to confirm in live. what was changed (effective mid ptr) is the way the ruby interacts with the black dmg "bug" which was doubling the max dmg part of the ruby in the first few ptr builds.
02/13/2013 07:25 AMPosted by EddardStarkAlso, would you mind explaining what about your weapon is specifically geared toward the Ruby? Apologies for my mathematical ignorance.
02/13/2013 07:32 AMPosted by Dropsywonder if a ruby will be better for me? Wasn't there a site I could do the comparison?
02/13/2013 07:38 AMPosted by EddardStarkSince I have the %50 damage mod on my Carving Knife, I imagine the Ruby will be better for me? I will swap and compare Radiants later after I send my Track kids home.
Appreciated Ofgortens. Does stacking Avg Damage on rings and amulet + elemental damage (which gets added to physical) further improve the effectiveness of the ruby?
02/13/2013 07:50 AMPosted by EddardStarkAppreciated once more for you going to the trouble to punch those numbers in
No problem. I expect your Zuni Pox and Zuni Helm as payment for the hardships you put me through :) Or you can just add me and we can do some runs later.
02/13/2013 08:23 AMPosted by DropsyAlmost makes me want to finally break down and get a mara knife.

Officers suspended over video parody sue San Francisco
Related: P-1 Members respond: The SFPD video controversy
By LISA LEFF
Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO- Eighteen police officers who were suspended after making a video that parodied life on the force sued the city Thursday, claiming they were victims of racial bias because they were disciplined while four Asian-American officers were not.
The plaintiffs include male and female officers who are black, Hispanic and white, said their attorney, Waukeen McCoy. The four officers who took part in the video but were not suspended are of Chinese descent, as is Police Chief Heather Fong, who also was named as a defendant, according to McCoy.
"They weren't disciplined at all," McCoy said. "There were singled out and treated more favorably, and that is a violation of law."
Two dozen officers were suspended without pay in December after city officials uncovered the 28-minute Christmas party video, which contained depictions of a white officer driving over a black homeless woman and a traffic cop pulling over a woman and ogling her. Mayor Gavin Newsom and Fong quickly condemned the clips, calling them racist, sexist and homophobic.
The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, also claims that because of the mayor and chief's public denunciation of the video they suffered retaliation, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
They lawsuit seeks $20 million in damages.
Newsom said Thursday that he could not comment on the specifics of the allegations, but he reiterated that officers were wrong to make the video on city time while "mocking and mimicking the community." The lawsuit "only reinforces my concern about action and accountability," he said.

I wanted to desplay my Assassins Creed figure on something more than just a plain old shelf so I made this base for him. I started by making two cardboard boxes then I cut holes for the windows and door. All of the edges were taped over wiht masking tape and one box glued on top of the other. Next I carved a base for the building to sit in out of foam board and covered the flat bit at the base of the building with a sand and pva glue mix.Then I riped of the top layer of card board in some small places so the corrigated bit inside showed, then I mixed polly filler with pva glue and painted it onto the outside of the building with a stiff brush to give a rough textur like plaster.
The door, door frame and window frames were made from styrafoam pizza base with wood grain drawn in with a ball point pen. I cut garden mesh and glued it to the inside of the holes for the windows. Next I painted the building white and the sandy base was painted a dark brown, then both were dry brushed with a sandy yellow. I covered the inside of the building with black gaffa tape so you don't see any thing biu darkness throhgh the windows. Next I painted the door, window and door frames dark brown and dry brushed with a lighter redish brown and glued them all in place. I cut a shape the same as the lowwer roof out of an old beach matt and glued in place then painted, then the ladder and roof edging were made from wooden kebab squers and I added a dolls house floor matt glued to a wooden rod and hung with wire hooks.
Hope you guys like it

"I am pretty livid with Comcast after having them for several years. Everywhere I've lived, I've had to put too much effort into getting anyone to come out and look at what's wrong with my service, which has never been reliable. It fluctuates all the time, and I'd rather go with another company, but the options are very limited in my area. If I had the choice, I'd definitely switch providers."

Comments about Beau-coup Personalized Beach Towel:
I am hosting a family reunion this summer in Florida and wanted to get all the ladies something to remember the event by. I ordered these towels and had them personalized, the picture does not due them justice. Wow is all I can say. The only thing I did not care for is when they arrived they were not individually wrapped, they were all just put in a big box with no wrapping on any of them. Other than that I love the towels and if you are having a beach wedding or a family reunion I highly recommend this item.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Towel was just okay
Comments about Beau-coup Personalized Beach Towel:
I purchased the towels as a gift for my bridesmaids who are attending my destination wedding. The towel color (fuchsia) seemed a bit more like a normal pink color versus something that I thought would be bright and pop out. The quality of the towel seemed a bit worn and not like a fresh new 100% terry velour towel. Lastly the embroidery didn't look that good either. Overall it's a decent gift given that your going to make use of it at the beach but I guess I was just expecting it to look more like the photo.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A review of FOX's new series "Houdini & Doyle," premiering May 2, 9/8c.
"Donkey Skin" is told with the simplicity and beauty of a child's fairy tale, but with emotional undertones and a surrealistic style that adults are more likely to appreciate. A child and a parent seeing this movie would experience two different films. It was directed by the French New Wave legend Jacques Demy in 1970 and is based on a 17th-century tale by Charles Perrault; it's one of his original Mother Goose stories, which also include "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty."
In adapting it into a musical, Demy was probably thinking of Jean Cocteau's surrealistic masterpiece "Beauty and the Beast" (1946), and Demy's own famous musicals "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964) and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" (1967). His "Donkey Skin" makes the connection by costarring Jean Marais, who played three roles in "Beauty and the Beast," and Catherine Deneuve, who had the lead in both of the earlier Demy films.
The story involves two neighboring kingdoms. In the land ruled by Jean Marais, the palace servants and even the horses are bright blue, like a medieval tryout for the Blue Man Group. In the land next door, ruled by Fernand Ledoux, everyone is red. Their maps must look like the Bush-Kerry election.
Sorrow in the blue kingdom. The queen (Deneuve) is dying. On her deathbed she orders the king: "Promise me you'll marry only when you find a wife more beautiful than me." This is not easily done. A search begins for such a woman, but as the king examines the portraits of the candidates, each is more ugly than the one before. Finally his advisors decide only one women qualifies: The king's own daughter, who is also played by Deneuve and therefore bears a striking resemblance to her mother.
The king decrees he will marry his daughter. You are beginning to understand why Disney filmed "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella" but not this one. There is also the remarkable detail that the kingdom's riches depend upon a donkey who instead of manure, produces coins and jewels.
"Is my love a sin?" asks the blue king. "All little girls, asked who they want to marry when they grow up, say 'I want to marry daddy.' " Not this little girl, who escapes by boat and consults her fairy godmother (Delphine Seyrig), who suggests she make a series of impossible demands, such as a dress the color of weather. What color is weather? We find out, when Deneuve appears in one of several remarkable gowns that are elegant and showy beyond any normal dimension, all but burying the princess inside.
After the king orders additional dresses the color of the moon and the sun, his daughter runs out of demands, and escapes into the forest cloaked in a donkey skin. There she is seen by the prince of the red kingdom (Jacques Perrin), who falls in love and demands that his servants determine the identity of the unknown girl, etc.
To this story Demy brings a particular sense of style. A great deal of the dialogue is sung by the actors, with music by Michel Legrand, although the film doesn't approach his wall-to-wall score for "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." There are also incongruous elements I doubt were found in the 17th-century original, including a helicopter, a woman who spits toads, doorways so low everyone must stoop to get through them, and a royal throne that looks like Hello, Kitty! At times characters fade in and out of transparency.
Despite these visual marvels, the film somehow lacks variety. It is all more or less the same; the same tone, similar songs, a level emotional field, nothing too exciting or too depressing. It requires, I hate to say it, an arc. Lacking that, it nevertheless provides a visual feast and fanciful imaginations, and Deneuve was then, as she was before and since, a great beauty with the confidence such beauty requires.

As the indie combo She & Him, the pair has produced a pair of albums that would have been right at home in the music world 50 years ago.
So it should be no surprise that when Deschanel and Ward turned their attention to Christmas music, the result, "A Very She & Him Christmas" was right on the mark. At this most sentimental time of year, who better to deliver that oldtime Christmas feeling?
With their first two records, She & Him featured mainly Deschanel originals with a few classics sprinkled in.
For the Christmas album, it looks like they went through their record collections picking what classics they could record. You hear Frank Sinatra ("Have Yourself and Merry Little Christmas", "The Christmas Waltz"), Elvis ("Blue Christmas", "I'll Be Home for Christmas") the Beach Boys ("Little Saint Nick", "Christmas Day"), Brenda Lee, Nat King Cole and other classic artists.
The most interesting selection on the record is "Baby It's Cold Outside." The pop standard is given the fun treatment it deserves, but the gender roles are flipped.
Turning the usual arrangement on its ear, it is Deschanel, not Ward, trying to do the seducing, insisting that "it's cold outside."
It's the kind of modern treatment to classic-sounding songs this duo has been performing for three albums now, and it's what makes them so endearing.
Adding to the reasons to check the album out is that proceeds from its sale are being donated to 826 National, a nonprofit network of tutoring and writing centers.
My spin: B+
With "A Very She & Him Christmas," the band gives fans exactly what they'd expect -- an understated collection of favorites carried by Deschanel's haunting voice and Ward's skillful arrangements.
It's a record worth checking out by indie rock and golden oldie fans alike.
She & Him
A Very She & Him Christmas
Released: Oct. 24 on Merge
She: Zooey Deschanel-vocals, pianos, ukulele
Him: M. Ward-vocals, guitar, organ, producer
Additonal players: Jim Keltner-percussion, Pierre de Reeder-percussion

My first implementation of this was to use a full grown entity class to represent gender. Then I would have a many-to-one relationship from e.g. Patient to Gender. The more I look at this, it doesn't feel right to me any more, as gender is something that's not likely change any soon. And as I'm using Guid comb for mapping the primary keys, rather lot of space is taken up for the foreign key and when looking at the raw database table, it's hard to figure out what the Guid represents. So, I'd like to know how other developers are tackling this and similar mappings (e.g colour). It's surely something is something used quite often.
As they are properties which rarely change (without being too political, there are only 2 human genders), I map them as
By default, this would save the string value to the database (i.e., "Unknown", "Male" or "Female"), so to get it to save the integer value (i.e., 0, 1 or 2), I map it as:
Sometimes I find it better to save the string value instead of the integer, so I juggle between the two mappings accordingly.

Review: This is like the shangrilah of Sedona. The food is Organic, tasty and filling. The atmosphere is welcoming and this place is just full of great things to buy and eat...including amazing chocolates with all kinds of flavors. A great crystal collection too. There are many of the treats you can buy they package and sell. They have a back garden that lets you forget you're near a main road as it's so peaceful back there. I can't wait to go back soon!

Faith in Action — Young Adult Volunteers Working With the Poor
Poverty is affecting more and more people in today's distressed economy. And young adults are volunteering to work with the poor to help alleviate the imposing challenges they face.
Some turn to formal volunteer service organizations (think Catholic Volunteer Network or Jesuit Volunteer Corps). Leah M. Nusse, recruitment and marketing manager for Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest, said that groups like hers play a role in addressing the need that comes with rising poverty levels. (Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau show 46.2 million people or 1 in 6 Americans living in poverty.)
"With an increased need for services and a diminished level of giving and support of the organizations responding to the need, Jesuit Volunteers can help fill a critical void and increase the capacity of our partner organizations to provide their much needed services," she said.read more

Dubai's fine discounting festival
Over the past six months, the UAE has been adamant to get you to pay your fines. Let's get real. It isn't exactly because the markets are back on track.
January 9, 2012 3:08 by Precious de Leon
The start of the year is just as good a time as any to start fresh for any one of us. And for businesses, it's become even easier to wipe that slate clean with the recent decree in Dubai that enables companies to pay their fines at discounted rates.
So it's good all around. Isn't it?
After all, companies would have all learned their lessons and not accumulate fines while waiting for another round of discount decrees. We're almost sure of that. Almost.
And according to executives quoted in a Gulf News article about the decree, the move was good for the economy with some even going as far as saying that "Such a decree thus makes it easier for them to do business. It's most attractive for existing businesses to expand and for new businesses to flourish."
They've got a point. Dodging payment of all those fines would take time away from growing the business.
One exec also said that "Companies were burdened with such fines because of a tough economic climate." Well, that line from a long forgotten 70s detective show "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" pops into my head just now.
Strategic Discounting
This kind of fine-discounting doesn't really come as a surprise. Ajman already put a similar waiver last October 2011, when it gave a 30 percent discount to fines on commercial licenses in the emirate—the catch here though was the fines needed to be paid in cash before December 31.
Kipp has also covered another form of this discounting as early as September last year when motorists were encouraged to pay all their traffic fines by giving discounts depending on the amount you owed.
Back then, some concerns were raised about whether or not the discounts degraded the value of the rules and regulations by discounting the penalties. So it won't be far-fetched to assume that there will be a few who'd wonder about the same concerns for the corporate fine discounting.
Could it be that it's just that the bargains and discounting methods of the Dubai Shopping Festival are just seeping through into other aspects of our system? Nah.
But then again, one could argue that sometimes just getting even partial debt/fine payment is better than nothing especially in this economic climate.
Watch this short video and you'll see what we're talking about.
Put yourself in Dubai's shoes. Think about all those people who are constantly looking for ways to dodge payment of fines. You'll realise there's a chance you'll never see the full amount you are owed. And considering you've got your own bills and debts to manage, partial payment of fines will start to sound quite appealing.
Could these discounts be incentives?
But discounts on fines are a great incentive for people to pay up, you may say. Well, there are some like career analyst Dan Pink who may have more than a couple of things to say about using financial incentives.
He says that financial rewards work well only up to a certain point or only for menial issues. Beyond a certain degree, money means nothing and does not incentivize individuals the way we would expect it would.
Here's the rather insightful video:
A relevant local example of this concept is this 29-year-old motorist in Umm Al Quwain who has avoided paying $49,863 in fines despite the recent discounts. So if fine-discounting doesn't encourage this gentleman to pay, would you say 'white points' for good behaviour on the roads would do the trick? One can only hope.
Whether or not these same people/companies will commit the same offense again is hard to tell. But at least the powers that be are at least trying to close the books on what we can only imagine are large amounts of fines that may never have otherwise been paid and that are now possibly go toward something useful like debt payment or, okay, let's say infrastructure development.
