Is there a compact way with ActiveRecord to query for what id it's going to use next if an object was going to be persisted to the database? In SQL a query like this would look something like:
SELECT max(id) + 1 FROM some_table;
Is there a compact way with ActiveRecord to query for what id it's going to use next if an object was going to be persisted to the database? In SQL a query like this would look something like:
Think this should work:
Here is slightly modified Taryn East's version:
While accepting fig's answer I might want to draw your attention to a small thing. If you are getting the next ID to set to a particular record before saving, I think its not a good idea.
because as an example in a web based system
I'm not sure you want the last id to do what I'm thinking here, But if so this is just to draw your attention.
Slightly better than the accepted answer:
Still prone to race-conditions etc, but at least it will take note of skipped ids and is slightly more efficient than, say, ordering the table by id then returning the last.
If you want to be sure no one else can take the 'new' index, you should lock the table. By using something like:
But this is specific for each database engine.
The only correct answer for a sequential id column is:
If you sort your model in a default scope, last and first will depend on that order.
I don't think there's a generic answer to this since you may not want to assume one database over another. Oracle, for example, may assign id's by a sequence or, worse, by a trigger.
As far as other databases are concerned, one may set them up with non sequential or random id allocation.
May I ask what the use case is? Why would you need to anticipate the next id? What does 'next' mean? Relative to when? What about race conditions (multiuser environments)?
There seems to be need of a answer here that removes the race conditions, and addresses the actual problem of pre-providing unique identifiers.
To solve the problem you maintain a second model, which serves unique ID's for the primary model. This way you don't have any race condition.
If you need to make these ID's secure you should hash them with SHA256 (or SHA512) and store the hash as an indexed column on identifier model when they are generated.
They can then be associated and validated when used on the primary model. If you don't hash them you still associate them, to provide validation.
I'll post some example code a bit later.
If no one else is using the table (otherwise you would have to use locking), you could get the autoincrement value from MySQL, the SQL command is
and the Rails command would be
Get the largest id on the table
This will run the following sql
Convert the result to an integer by calling
Now to get the next available id, just add 1
The final result:
If your database is Postgres, you can get the next id with this (example for a table called 'users'):
Unlike the other answers, this value is not affected by the deletion of records.
There's probably a mySQL equivalent, but I don't have one set up to confirm.
This is an old question, but none of the other answers work if you have deleted the last record:
I solved the problem using the following approach:

From the bookNawat stood against the wall, relaxed and alert. Before him two men-at-arms were preparing to shoot. Dove stood behind one archer with a handful of arrows, while the duchess held arrows for the second archer. Aly's mind told her that the duchess would hardly consent to murder just as the first man shot. The second man shot immediately after him. Then both set fresh arrows to the string and shot steadily, arrow after arrow, one at a time, until they had exhausted all the extras held by the duchess and her stepdaughter.
Nawat caught them all with grace and ease, snatching the arrows from the air as if he had all day to do so. When the archers finished, he gathered the heap of arrows at his feet and carried them back to their owners.
He's so fast, Aly thought in awe. I couldn't do it, and I'm no slouch! She sighed, wishing Da were here to see it. He'd taught her to catch daggers in midair, but this game was much more hazardous.
The game was not done. The men-at-arms repeated the experiment with javelins, then hunting and combat spears. Nawat caught them all, moving so fast Aly couldn't follow his hands. She cheered him and the men-at-arms on.
When the bell rang to remind the household it was nearly time for supper, he looked up at the applauding Aly and waved. "This is my favorite game," he called to her. "Do you want to play?"
"I wouldn't dare!" she cried, laughing, before she retreated into the room. She'd seen men catch knives before. She had seen the finest archers in the Queen's Riders draw an outline in arrows of someone positioned against a wooden fence or wall, just to show they could do it. She had never seen anything like this.
Sarai and Dove ran in. Sarai smiled at Aly. "You should have seen your face! Did you know he could do that?" she asked as she collapsed on her bed.
Dove unstrung her bow, shaking her head. "He's amazing," she said, coiling her bowstring.
"You know, maybe this horrible old place isn't so bad," Sarai told the ceiling. "Not if these wonderful men keep showing up."
Aly raised an eyebrow at her. "I wouldn't try kissing him," she warned. "It wouldn't be what you expect."
Sarai wrinkled her nose. "Aly!" she complained. "I found out he eats bugs! I'm not kissing a man with bug breath!"
Aly blinked. I don't remember him tasting of bugs when he kissed me, she thought. I'd better pay more attention next time.
Her mind promptly reined her up. This was highly improper. There would be no next time. Her task was looking after the Balitang children, not mooning over someone, particularly not a crow turned man.
Even if he could pluck arrows from the air.
The next morning Aly, still on a goatherd's hours, walked out of the keep into the dawn. The sun had just cleared the walls to light the inner courtyard and the young man who straddled a bench there. Aly stopped to watch him carefully glue pieces of feather onto the wooden shaft.
Nawat looked up at her with a smile that lit his eyes. "You are beautiful in the new light," he told her. "If I were the Dawn Crow, I would bring you the sun to hatch as our first nestling."
Aly blinked at him. Her heart felt strangely squeezed by some powerful emotion. She bit her lip to distract herself from a feeling that made her horribly unsure. "Have you been kissing anybody?" she asked without meaning to, and gasped. She had let words out of her mouth without thinking, which was not like her! Worse, they were such personal words, ones he might feel meant personal feelings she did not have! This was the kind of thing that other girls said, those girls who were not bored by all the young men who had courted them. How...

In this and the next three chapters I shall implant the model of differentiation on the development of the British cotton industry between 1770 and 1840. The elements of this model are the organized roles of an industry, its value-system, dissatisfactions, symptoms of disturbance, handling and channelling, entrepreneurship, the gross movements of production, capitalization, innovation, profits, etc. To employ the empirical propositions developed in the last chapter is to account for the direction of change of these variables and their temporal relationship to each other.
Two features of the historical evidence complicate this task. First, the data are inadequate. Quantitative indices of production and capitalization, to say nothing of innovations, are absent, especially for the late eighteenth century; usually we must accept questionable substitutes. For profits, dissatisfactions, disturbances, etc., only qualitative evidence such as verbal testimony is available. Second, this evidence conceals many simultaneous processes. To cite one example, we shall use raw cotton consumption as an index of production; this is sometimes the only available index. Some of the empirical propositions, however, require the isolation of the components of total production, such as the production of muslins, calicoes, power-loom cloth, etc., which the figures of cotton consumption do not reveal. In such instances we shall rely on plausible movements of the general indices, and strengthen or weaken our impressions by other indirect evidence.
To interpret the facts of this period raises the inevitable question of the historical status of these facts. Did they occur, and if so, were they correctly recorded? Because of the wide scope of this study, it is impossible to assume a professional historian's concern with facts except in certain cases. In many instances I shall rely on what appear to be intelligent assessments by accepted authorities -- Baines,

Skip to comments.Clinton Plans Two-Year Tenure as U.N. Envoy, Aide Says
Posted on 04/09/2005 10:55:41 PM PDT by M. Thatcher
UNITED NATIONS, April 9 -- Former president Bill Clinton will spend at least two years in his new role as the top U.N. envoy promoting recovery in tsunami-hit countries and demanding accountability for the unprecedented billions of dollars donated by countries and individuals, his deputy said.
Erskine B. Bowles said Clinton will also push for the construction of better homes, schools and hospitals in areas devastated by the killer waves and adoption of new measures to warn against disasters and ensure quick action by governments when they occur.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Hildibeast wipes brow, Billy found a toy.
Clinton is scheduled to make his first public appearance as a U.N. envoy Wednesday. He is to meet Secretary General Kofi Annan for the first time since his appointment was announced on Feb. 1, and they will hold a news conference, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced Friday.
File this under: Foot in door.
He'll get bored with it and get caught with too many underage prosittutes.
Billy's attempting to become Jimmy Carter 2 but his lust for trashy women and cheeseburgers is greater than his lust for a Nobel prize.
Oh my, looks like Hillary's campaign fundraising scheme has just been established.
Yeah, brilliant of the UN to put this guy in charge of billions of dollars. He'll make "Oil for Food" look like a Mother Teresa operation.
...demanding accountability for the unprecedented billions of dollars donatedROTFL!
Oh my, looks like Hillary's campaign fundraising scheme has just been established.
Wait, on second thought, that isn't funny at all...
No way! Make Him go out and get a job all on his own!
This has got to be the ultimate insult, so far. It lends the stamp of Our approval to everything the sorry POS has ever done!
Maybe so. Maybe not.
Remember, Clinton told that reporter of Air Force One that he had never expected to fly on AF1 again. I think he knows that Hillary has no chance of winning.
The UN keeps getting more corrupt every day. The Fox in the chicken coop.
This is very scary to me. Endtimes scary.
Don't watch his lips, watch his hands. You, my friend, have relaxed over the last five years.
It's always a swell idea to have the fox be in charge of the henhouse, yesirree. After all, what could go wrong with this plan?
I suggest we let him get both feet in before the Rug gets pulled.
His "Brave New World" should be as a shattered vase, broken scattered and stepped on.
Dismissal and Failure to be added to his "Mixed Legacy"
(Jimmy is starting to overtake him in the Leagacy department)
Perhaps the fox has taken the bait and will be caught in the chicken trap.
Cool! Now send him to Angola to check out the medical situation....
Good point, Jeff Gordon. Because it's always about him and not the subject at hand, Clinton eventually reveals his true thoughts.
I believe this latest development is not something the Hillary camp is happy about. She knows she can't trust her husband and he will always do something to upstage her, even if it means helping to destroy her presidential hopes. It's about him - not her - and she knows it. I've maintained for years that he does not want to stand behind her for four or eight years in the White House. It would do nothing for his legacy.
Good move, W, give him enough rope.
Perhaps he felt he wouldn't be invited to the party?
If Hillary (heaven forbid) ever becomes president, he knows not to get on a plane.
Or// maybe he figures that if she wins she will through him out. She would have no further use of him. Amen.
Great point. 2 year stint. The timing is perfect for William Jefferson Criminal's rehabilitation.
Clintons take over the world. Bill has his foot in the door at the UN. Replacing Koffi is next, and then Hill as Pres. in '08.
Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse. Bill micromanages every dollar donated to the tsunami victims, and sipons off millions for incidental expenses.
His bride can't be happy with this.
Too much face time for Bill...at the UN...could bring about an "enough of the Clintons" backlash against Hillary.
Bingo!! May even be a quid pro quo deal by W ....you can do this BUT we expect the Hildebeast to disappear.....
Kofi Annan appointed Clinton to the UN position, which is separate from what Clinton and Dad Bush were involved in doing.
Clinton is, of course, highly unsuitable for overseeing funds, but an agency that would appoint Angelina Jolie as a spokesperson is not going to appoint competent people.
Hopefully Clinton will demonstrate his incompetence and will tarnish his name further. At any rate, President Bush didn't nominate him to this position.
True enough. But it sure provided cover.
"knows not to get on a plane" WAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
And soon, thanks to his selfless efforts, he will be known as "Saint" Bill. If he can only do as good a job of "healing" the living standards of Indonesia as he did in Arkansas.....

Sometimes, life can get the way of our call to worship. We forget about God in the midst of the day to day. "An Act of Worship" captures this struggle and challenges us to live our lives...our whole lives in worship to Him.
Scripture: Romans 12:1, Philippians 1:20-1:21, Romans 6:4
By: Beamer Films
A powerful Valentine's Day video that reminds us how God calls us to "be his." No matter where we've been or what we've done, God's love is greater. Whatever it is, HE WILL TAKE IT and create marvelous wonders within us!
Scripture: Romans 5:8
God offers us all the chance to begin again, to actually start over from the beginning, to be born again. This mini-movie can be used as a sermon illustration or during an invitation time as a call to salvation or rededication.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Each of us has been made differently. We have different gifts and abilities, yet we all share a common purpose. We were created to worship God. It's our calling to surrender all as a sacrifice of praise and to never forget the worthiness of our God.
Scripture: Psalms 150:6, John 4:24, Romans 10:9
Fathers pour and invest and sacrifice. And when they do so, they reflect a God who invites us to call Him "Father".

God's love calls us away from the shore, into the unknown, into His grand plan for our lives.
By: MotionWorship
This high-energy introduction is based on verses from Psalm 77 and Nahum 1. Complete with crashing ocean storms, lightning, a tornado, and volcanoes exploding with rocks and lava, it displays the awesome and dangerous power of God's creation, then finishes with a call to worship. "If God is for us, who can stand against us? We stand in His presence. He is here - now - let us worship!"

We're all unique. We all have a list of likes and dislikes. But, there is one thing we all have in common. We were all created to worship. God made us to shout His praises. He made us to cry out so the rocks don't have to. Sure, we all have our preferences and styles, but we also share the same calling to #WORSHIP!

From Mother Teresa to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., history is filled with people who have pursued peace. People who have walked a road paved by the pierced hands of our Savior. As we remember MLK and the peaceful pursuit for equality and justice, let us remember what the scriptures say: "Blessed are the peace makers, for they will be called the children of God".
Scripture: Matthew 5:9, Psalms 29:11, Psalms 34:14

The actress showed off her perfectly toned pins in an adorable purple playsuit - yeah it's clear to say Kate was busy turning heads at the celebrity-packed festival.
The purple ensemble was just one of two fab outfits that Kate was rocking during the festival.
For her second look Kate embodied her rock chick side and opted for a sexy and sultry all-black catsuit, with a black high-waited belt. And the peep toe shows - too cute.
Check out who else was at the festival and what they were wearing...

Why Can't We Be Friends?
Last Wednesday morning, as he does every morning, Garrison Keillor went out over the nation's airwaves on The Writer's Almanac to talk about the history of creative types. "On this day in 1904, Henry James visited the United States for the first time," Keillor began, then spent a minute chronicling the expat's love-hate affair with American culture. Keillor concluded, "A few years later, [James] wrote to his sister-in-law, 'Dearest Alice, I could come back to America (could be carried on a stretcher) to die—but never, never to live.'"
The same morning, Russell Packard, who has chosen to remain in America, was busy getting ready for another year at the Friends School of Minnesota, a tiny Quaker academy not far from St. Paul's Midway neighborhood. Friends is run by a group of educators and peace activists who are trying to put a finger in the dike of their homeland's culture of violence.
"When I traveled the Middle East with my guitar, the generosity of the Arab people was amazing," says Packard. "You could leave your wallet in a restaurant, and you could come back an hour later and they'd give it to you and say, 'Here, have a sweet or some lemonade or something.'" Packard is ignoring the iced coffee and muffin that will sit before him, untouched, for the duration of this interview.
"I think the Arab people are very misunderstood," Packard adds. "Right now, they're the victims of racism, and it's a different kind of racism than [inequality]. It's distrust. Which is why I believe now, by presenting the beauty of their music, we can counteract the racism. Because once people start trying to understand music, they start to have empathy for people, and it's harder to hate them.
"When you speak with people about Arabs, you can tell they just don't trust them. In '91 I was teaching in the Highland Park schools, and they were telling me not to talk about Arabs or their music or politics. I realized that I didn't feel comfortable bringing the music in there, but I did here."
"Here" is Packard's music classroom at Friends School, where his seven-year-old daughter Molly and a friend are playing hide and seek amid drums, tambourines, and various exotic percussion instruments. As the kids race around and draw on the chalkboard, Packard talks about his travels, arrests, brushes with death, and experiences busking in South America, Ireland, India, and the Middle East. This, he explains, is how he came to become an expert in world music—not through books or recorded music.
It's also how he, a resident of Lake St. Croix Beach in Washington County, came to co-found the local world-music ensemble Crossing Borders and play a dozen or more instruments, including the nay ("nigh"), a traditional Arab flute. And how he was invited to perform at the international Jerash Festival of Arts and Music near Aman, Jordan, which was cancelled last month when the missiles started flying across the Israeli-Lebanon border.
"The very day before I was set to go, I had my bags all packed, including my toothbrush and all the gifts for the children I was going to see," says Packard, his white beard and Irish wolfhound eyebrows jiggling with laughter. "I was checking my email, and the organizers had written to say, 'Out of empathy for the suffering of the people in Lebanon, we cannot have this festival now.' I wanted to go anyway."
He'll get his fix September 10, when Packard's friend Sakher Hattar, a virtuoso on the oud, will travel from Jordan to perform at a Lebanese relief benefit at the Cedar Cultural Center. The show will double as a CD-release party for Hattar's new CD, The Passionate Voice of the Oud.
"Various venues and media aren't receptive to us, and I feel it's because of our association with Arabic music and Arabic culture," says Packard. "And so many of our musicians are into this because they love the music. They're not into the politics of it; our concert is a benefit for Lebanon, but there's no political music. It's just going to be classical music, highlighting the beauty of Middle Eastern culture. That in itself, however, in the context of war, is political."
Packard's ideological sympathies began during a childhood in Long Lake. His mother was a housecleaner for the gentry of Lake Minnetonka, his father an auto mechanic. Both, he says, "were intelligent, hard-working people who didn't get a fair shake." Packard recalls that when his father collapsed from emphysema, having spent his life inhaling car fumes, he was promptly fired. He had no pension, no retirement plan. The schism between rich and poor has inspired the 52-year-old to work for labor causes and underdogs of all sorts.
"We want to combat the xenophobia, and contribute something to Lebanese relief," he says. "The money we raise will be a drop in the bucket, but I think it's our best way of making a gesture of empathy and peace to those people. It's very important that the Lebanese understand that there are American people who care about their suffering and that we're not all their enemies. They have other people to go to besides Hezbollah."
At that, Packard slides out from behind his desk and begins to tune up his tamboora, a towering gourd-like instrument with four-strings. One of the kids instantly connects its hypnotic twang with "the Beatles." The music teacher asks the kids to press their ears up to the base of the gourd so that they can hear the instrument's "sympathetic vibration." Packard plucks the strings. Can you hear it?

Fantasy Baseball Season Is One-Third Over, So What Does Your Team Need To Win?Two months into baseball season, and it's time to assess what categories your fantasy team needs to improve—and win.

BS claims are one of the most energizing parts of traditional skepticism. "That Powerband is clearly ridiculous! We can test that! Let's get 'em!" And, it's among the more longstanding forms of skeptical activism (even if those consumer advocates doing the testing didn't self-define as 'skeptics'). A bit of a look at the history of consumer advocacy, the 'unsinkable rubber ducks' of marketing, and the current state of ridiculous claims selling for lots and lots of money.

FALL CITY, Wash. (AP) — The King County sheriff's office says a body has been found in the Snoqualmie River near where a 29-year-old Bothell, Wash., man vanished on Sunday while trying to rescue his dog.
Sgt. John Urquhart said the body was spotted Wednesday afternoon by people in a boat. Sheriff's divers recovered it about 50 feet from shore. There was no immediate confirmation of identity.
Lindsay Grennan has said that she and her fiance, Johnny Sharrar, threw a stick in the water Sunday for their dog to chase. When the dog got caught in the strong current, they both jumped in to save the animal.
Sharrar was carried away by the water. Grennan was rescued. The dog managed to get out safely.

Hey there, I just got in to biking a few weeks ago when I decided I wanted to save some time and money getting back and forth to work everyday. I used to take the bus which would be about a half an hour to 45 minute process, (most of the time unpleasant and uncomfortable). Now I'm door to door in a comfortable 15 minutes, adding in a decent workout as a bonus. Being a cost-efficient-minded person and not minding a little DIY work, I stumbled upon this forum when searching for a handy way to mount a flashlight to my handle bars. I can't wait to learn more after conversing with you all.
Ride safe,

Contributor Robert Zimmerman made quite the comparison during his appearance on CNN Thursday morning.
In a conversation regarding GOP candidate Mitt Romney's appeal to voters, a panel of CNN contributors responded to Sarah Palin's recent comment that she still doubts Romney's true conservatism.
CNN contributor Will Cain responded by stating that he was not going to "award Sarah Palin high priestess of defining conservatism." Fellow CNN contributor Robert Zimmerman echoed Cain's sentiment but said that, according to him, there was an even bigger issue to address.
"Having to defend your credentials to Sarah Palin—that's like having to defend your sense of character and style to Snooki and Nicki Minaj, and defending your sense of history to Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann." Robertson was referring to reality TV star, Snooki, who once encouraged Regis Philbin to strip during an appearance on "Live! With Regis and Kelly."
This is not the first time Palin has been compared to Snooki. In January, MSNBC regular Donny Deutsch compared Palin to the reality star on "Morning Joe."

Happiness. It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why? Because, says Billy Graham in this classic work, we are looking for happiness in all the wrong places.
We haven't learned the secret Jesus taught in the Beatitudes – that true, lasting happiness simply isn't to be found by seeking it directly. Happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. And the things that will bring us the satisfaction we long for are not necessarily what the world considers meaningful.
Jesus did not have to have an outward stimulus to make Him happy, Billy Graham points out. 'He had learned a secret that allowed Him to live above the circumstances of life and fear of the future. He moved with calmness, certainty, and serenity through the most trying circumstances – even death! What was His secret? He gave it to us in the Beautitudes.'
Presented with Billy Graham's characteristic vigor and simplicity in this landmark book, it is a secret that can transform your life.

I love how every other sentence is about how Ron fails at something. He's a drunk! He hits his wife and kids! He's a rapist! He sleeps with whores! He's cheap! He kills birds! HE DOESN'T APPRECIATE CLASSICAL MUSIC!
I'm kind of disappointed that Ron didn't call Hermione a mudblood, turn out to be a Death Eater, molest children, engage in sexual acts with a pony, kill an endangered species, discourage his children from learning, litter, smoke, eat opium, take too many diet pills in order to cram for a big test, cheat at cards, cheat on his taxes, plagiarize, dip snuff, cross-dress, turn out to be gay, blackmail his gay lover, lead a religious cult, spread vicious rumors, sleep with Ginny, gamble, fail to recycle, have a porn addiction, join a Satanic church, and claim to "not get" Impressionism.

Alex Jones-style, McKinney believes more or less every conspiracy theory she has encountered. A selection of claims McKinney has endorsed is that the US military shot and killed 5000 prisoners during Katrina and dumped their bodies, a multitude of 9/11 conspiracy theories (unsurprisingly), and that Jeb Bush was running a drug ring out of Columbia while he was governor of Florida. Conspiracy theories concerning famous assassinations endorsed by McKinney include believing that James Earl Ray did not kill Martin Luther King Jr., that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, that Sirhan Sirhan did not kill Robert F. Kennedy, and — particularly vehemently — that Biggie did not kill Tupac.

Darian Tautalafua
April 1, 2013
Freshman Darian Tautalafua has been named the Big West Field Player of the Week after an impressive showing at UC Riverside over the weekend, knocking in 10 RBI during the three-game series. This is Tautalafua's second Player of the Week honors, earning her other accolade after her performance at the San Diego State Classic I in early March.
The freshman collected a team-leading 10 RBI in the series on the strength of three hits, all of them home runs. Tautalafua drove in exactly one-third of Long Beach State's 30 runs for the week while also scoring four times.
Her biggest blast of the weekend came in game one of the series. With the 49ers trailing 11-10 during their final at bat, Tautalafua stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. She promptly unloaded a shot off the scoreboard for a game-winning grand slam. LBSU then held the Highlanders off in the bottom of the inning for the 14-11 victory.
Tautalafua returned in game two of the doubleheader and victimized the UCR pitching corps once again. She crushed a pair of home runs and had six RBI in the 10-2 win. She staked the 49ers to a 4-0 lead with a three-run blast in the first, and bookended the doubleheader with another three-run shot in the seventh for a 10-1 advantage.
Tautalafua increased her team-high totals to nine home runs and 36 RBI with her productive week that also included a 1.091 slugging percentage.
In the final game of the series, a 6-2 LBSU triumph, Tautalafua cooled off with an 0-for-2 effort but walked twice to contribute to a solid .429 on base percentage.

Downton Abbey finishes up it's 5th season tonight and I can't wait to see all the 1920s fashions. Downton's fabulous fashion sense was always a big draw for me because I just love vintage styles. As I'm gearing up to watch this last episode, I'm making a list of patterns that I think would fit a few of my of my favorite characters from the show.
Check out what I've picked out below for characters past and present:
|This Embellished Beanie in Homespun® would look great if you had a bob like Lady Mary.
|Little George would look very handsome in this Cabled
Vest in Cotton-Ease®.
|I can picture any of the upstairs Downton women wearing this Textured Raglan Jacket in LB Collection® Organic Wool!
|Lady Rose often sports a very simple and stylish look on the show- making the Shaped Cabled Top in LB Collection® Superwash Merino a perfect fit for her!
|Lady Sybil was a very empathetic character, so this Vegan Fur Poncho in Pelt® would be just perfect for her … if faux fur existed back then.
|This Flapper Hat would be great for any of the ladies of Downton Abbey – upstairs or downstairs. Make it with Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick® for a very cozy and stylish hat to wear. (note: this is a paid pattern)
|Cora's mother is a very fashion-forward woman and would definitely be seen wearing this Vintage Glam Turban in Vanna's Glamour®.
|This Car Coat in Wool-Ease® Thick and Quick® is perfect for any lady who's heading up to London for business or pleasure.

Bosley Real Estate Ltd. is a 100% family owned and operated Real Estate company that has been successfully assisting the buying and selling public since 1928. It is a Canadian company, and the Bosley Family are actively involved in the day-to-day management. Should you wish to talk to the owner of the company, you may actually do so!
When selling your home, you need global exposure in addition to the strong
marketing expertise we deliver locally. As an affiliate of Leading Real Estate
Companies of the World,® we have the resources to market your property to the
highest possible number of potential buyers. With 120,000 talented associates
around the world, we expose your property to buyers on six continents ensuring
more eyes on your property. In addition, we receive inbound clients from other
affiliates around the globe who are interested in purchasing a home.
Hard to believe we are half way through 2015 already. If that thought is depressing, don't forget that the best is yet to come. Sunshine and heat waves are in our future and while still sizzling, there are signs that Toronto's real estate market has backed off from the frantic pace that was the Spring market. That should come as some relief to those sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time to purchase a new home.
Just when you think you have a handle on the market, something changes and you are forced to re-evaluate. Eventually there comes a point when you just have to strap yourself in and recognize that it's next to impossible to predict what's going on in Toronto's real estate market. As the old saying goes….nothing is as constant as change.
Home buyers are apparently agreeing with Finance Minister Joe Oliver 's assessment of the Canadian real estate market.... there is no bubble. Home prices across the country are rising and so is the number of multifamily units under construction. Clearly the Spring market is here and with the first long weekend of the summer behind us, sales and listing activity is on the rise.
Ok, so maybe you didn't get the memo. That's understandable. It's hard to pull yourself away from another crushing Habs defeat. But trust us when we say… Toronto real estate is just as hot as it was last month. Sure, an impending long weekend has a natural cooling effect on the market but don't sit by the sidelines for too long. Buying a house in a Seller's market requires dedication, perseverance, and fortitude.
It 's May. I t 's really May. We just can't believe it is finally here. All those nights spent around the dinner table talking about the horrible, unbearably cold winter we had. Do you remember scraping all the ice from the windshield? How about climbing over snow drifts? And then presto! It's over…. at least until we a l l start complaining about the heat, the brownouts, and the funky tasting water.

FxCop thought me (basically, from memory) that functions, classes and properties should be written in MajorCamelCase, while private variables should be in minorCamelCase.
I was talking about a reasonably popular project on IRC and quoted some code. One other guy, a fairly notorious troll who was also a half-op (gasp!) didn't seem to agree. Everything oughta be in the same casing, and he quite fervently favored MajorCamelCase, or even underscore_separation.
Ofcourse, he was just a troll so I reckoned I'd just keep doing it the way I already did. Before I learned the above guidelines, I hardly even had a coherent naming style.
He got me thinking, though -- does stuff like this really matter?
