Time Is Money
George Segler is the best-paid employee in the shop where he works, pulling in exactly two dollars an hour for his labors. A soft-spoken 43-year-old with dirty-blond hair, a wispy mustache, and tattoos lacing his sinewy forearms, he spends his days cobbling together cabinets and office tables in the clanky din of a cavernous factory at the Stillwater Correctional Facility. "I try and save a hundred dollars a month or so," Segler says with a shrug. "Sometimes my family needs help."
Since 1993 he's managed to sock away about six grand. That accomplishment is a noteworthy one in a prison economy that is lately riding the wave of both shrinking wages and legal requirements that offenders part with more of their earnings--to cover everything from victim restitution to child support to the cost of their incarceration. Those developments have left many inmates scrambling to scrape together the cash to buy staples like soap and toothpaste, let alone accumulate a nest egg.
Segler doesn't grouse about his pay or, for that matter, his job. "I'm in a leadership position," he offers with a subdued note of pride in his voice. "You know, the opportunities are here to learn a skill. And this is what I want to do when I get out. Some of the guys say they want a job, but they really don't give a shit and they get weeded out." Segler says he likes the work--and his boss Daniel Ferrise says he's good at it. "George is a guy I'd refer to anyone," Ferrise brags. "You keep him busy and he'll produce for you like nobody else."
Producing has been much on the mind of Ferrise these days. A former warden at Stillwater, he now heads up Minncor, the Department of Corrections' prison-industry division, which cranks out some 39 product lines in seven state pens across Minnesota. As the CEO, Ferrise is responsible for meeting a legislative mandate that Minncor become financially self-sufficient by fiscal year 2003. Currently, the operation--which racked up some $20 million in sales last year, mostly to schools, libraries, and government agencies--requires an annual subsidy of nearly $2 million to break even. That situation, Ferrise says, represents a big improvement over the $6-million-plus subsidy Minncor needed in 1995. But a daunting challenge remains, he points out, as the division seeks to strike a balance between the sometimes conflicting objectives of showing a positive bottom line even while employing the maximum number of inmates possible, teaching them skills that may help them on the outside--welding, construction, and the like--and selling well-made products.
With those goals in mind, Minncor has streamlined its non-inmate staff (from 175 in 1995 to 145 now) and instituted various private-sector-style reforms: hiring sales and marketing directors, conducting focus groups, tweaking its product line. And slashing inmate pay. Wages now typically run from fifty cents to one dollar an hour, Ferrise says, with a two-dollar ceiling set for "exceptional" workers like George Segler. "Back in '95, the wages were different across the board from institution to institution," Ferrise recalls. "Some guys were earning forty cents an hour and some were earning $3.50 an hour. That was ridiculously high. We were losing big dollars." Minncor's pay scale for its nearly 850 convict-employees, he adds, remains well above the national prison-system average.
Still, it raises the question: With labor costs so cheap, why isn't Minncor turning a profit already? The answer, according to Ferrise, is complicated. To begin with, he says, running a business in a prison has scads of inherent inefficiencies. As a state enterprise, Minncor must comply with complex purchasing and procurement rules that don't apply in the private sector. When materials are brought to a prison factory, the shipments must be carefully searched for contraband. As those in business ranks are fond of saying, time is money, and delays of one sort or another are endemic in big-house operations.
While inmates may not share, say, the commuting delays of their free-world counterparts, other protocols of prison life--the regular head counts and security searches--eat into the productive workday. All tools, for instance, must be carefully accounted for in the course of each shift. "We don't need a lunchroom full of carpet knives and screwdrivers. So we have to be good at tool control," Ferrise remarks, as he points to a "shadow board" where each tool's special spot is marked by a blackened silhouette, making it easy for supervisors to take note of a missing item.
There are additional considerations as well. A few years ago, Ferrise recalls, Minncor had to cease production of a line of dumpsters after legislators received complaints from a private manufacturer that the use of cheap convict labor represented unfair competition. These days Minncor focuses most of its efforts on delivering products for public-sector consumption: license plates, which are stamped out at the state prison in St. Cloud; rehabbed computers, which are donated to public schools and, according to Ferrise, have provided more than 100,000 Minnesota kids with Internet access; a variety of wood and metal furnishings for offices and prisons; and some real oddball items, like the beaver-dam mufflers that inmates build at Stillwater. (Sold to the Department of Natural Resources, the contraptions, made from PVC and chainlink fence, are designed to quiet the flow of water on partially dammed streams, thus tricking beavers into believing that they've accomplished their mission to flood.) Marnie Kittleson, Minncor's marketing director, underscores another, elemental obstacle in the organization's efforts to get out of the red: "A lot of these guys have never held a regular job before, and a lot of them don't come in with much of a work ethic or good work habits."
According to Gwyn Smith Ingley, the executive director of the Correctional Industries Association, state legislatures across the nation are increasingly demanding that prison industries become self-sufficient--with two states, Florida and Mississippi, going so far as to turn operations over to private corporations. Though some federal institutions and federally sanctioned enterprises within state institutions pay up to $7.50 an hour, Smith Ingley notes, as much as 80 percent of those wages may be garnished to cover costs of incarceration or held for payment into victim restitution funds and other pay-back programs. Three states (Georgia, Texas, and Arkansas) don't pay convict laborers at all, and hourly wages ranging from a nickel to a quarter an hour are not uncommon in others, she says.
Take the case in Oregon: In 1995, voters there passed a constitutional amendment ordering that all able-bodied prisoners work--without pay. The measure (which required some subsequent tweaking to comply with federal regulations) reflected a shift in public attitudes in which punishment, rather than rehabilitation, has come to dominate the prison industry's agenda. The re-emergence of chain gangs in some Southern and Western states in the mid-1990s seems to have waned, Smith Ingley observes, but less so because of mellowing attitudes toward punishment than because of a growing emphasis on bottom-line economics.
John Stuart, the Minnesota State Public Defender, says what he calls the "squeezing" of prisoners when it comes to wages in Minnesota is a mistake. "For me, the first priority would be to run prison industries in a way that would help people be more productive," Stuart says. "When you cut wages, restrict visits, not allow them to smoke, take eight or ten different costs out of their pay--well, I don't know about you, but I'd resent if it if I were in prison. When you add it all up, it amounts to the erosion of goodwill in the prison system." Although Stuart does not explicitly criticize Minncor's operations, he says the effectiveness of prison industries should not be measured only by the standard of the corporate ledger, but also by an assessment of what happens to inmates upon their release. Just because some sector of Minncor's operations doesn't show profit, he suggests, does not necessarily mean it doesn't have some larger value.
Nationally, several studies have shown prison industries to be remarkably capable of reducing the chance that prisoners will commit crimes again once they've done their time. According to one such analysis, conducted recently by a Princeton University economist, inmate laborers had a first-year recidivism rate of 6.6 percent, far below the general rate in the U.S. of 20 percent. The Correctional Industries Association's Smith Ingley says such studies ought to factor into states' policy and funding decisions as much as, or more than, the drive to make prison industries profitable.
Ferrise has little doubt that Minncor's operations have some effect on reducing recidivism. He is now in the process of collecting data to prove just that, but regardless of those findings, he's vowed to keep on track toward the ultimate goal of a zero state subsidy. For inmates like George Segler, that means that he's probably seen the last of his merit raises, and his wage will likely hold at two dollars an hour. Still, with a good-time sentence of 30 years, Segler's $6,000 nest egg will build day by day to a sizable sum before his release. "George will be in a good position when he gets out," Ferrise says. "He'll have a pot."

Actress Hema Malini and director Ramesh Sippy together gave hits like "Andaz", "Seeta Aur Geeta" and "Sholay". Now the two are teaming up again after over four decades for a romantic comedy and Bollwyood's Dream Girl says this could be "another important film in my career".
Titled "Shimla Mirchi", the film will reportedly tell the story of a single mother, played by Hema Malini, and her daughter (Rakul Preet Singh), who fall in love with the same man.
"In the midst of all that is happening in parliament and my constituency (Mathura), this film offer came to me. Normally, I wouldn't have said yes, given my gruelling schedule in parliament and my obligations in my constituency. But this film is not the usual run-of-the-mill stuff," said Hema.
She fell in love with the script.
"It's light-hearted comedy with a very unusual role for me. I am sure it will turn out to be something very special. Also, the offer came from Rameshji who is returning to direction after many years. I couldn't say no to him.
"Some of my most important films, be it 'Andaz', 'Seeta Aur Geeta' or 'Sholay' have been with Rameshji. I get a feeling this new film with Rameshji would be another important film in my career."
Their last film together was 1972 hit comedy "Sita Aur Geeta", about twin sisters.
How does Hema intend to find the time to shoot for "Shimla Mirchi"?
"Just like I'm doing everything in my life," she shot back.
While life lends itself to a hectic pace from city to city for Hema, she won't compromise on her basic health precautions.
"I have to eat and sleep on time, and properly. That is non-negotiable," she said adding that she was more than contented with life.
"Everything I've wanted has been mine. I wanted my two daughters to be happily married. When Esha and Ahana got married, I didn't get two sons-in-law. I got two sons. My two sons-in-law are the sons I never had."
Sippy's last highly acclaimed directorial venture was the 1985-release "Saagar", which marked the come-back of Dimple Kapadia on the silver screen after a long gap.
"Shimla Mirchi" will go on floors in mid-September.

Seems like everyplace I live, I always have nontraditional arrangements with my neighbors. Our neighbor's Great Dane has probably spent more time in our house than his own over the past 7 years -- many people think he's ours and we keep a separate leash, bowl, and treats for him. We have a hole in the fence so he can come anytime he wants, and he has learned how to open our sliding glass door. Another neighbor weeds my front berm free of charge and even has planted things there.
At the last place I lived, I mowed the lawn of a perfectly able bodied neighbor who was just about my same age as me free of charge just because I felt like it.
Anyone else do strange things for their neighbors or vice versa?

For years now, The Mint has been THE place to go to get wasted with a large group of friends and make fools of yourselves!
Named after the US Mint, which looms over the area on a hilltop, the Mint is always a raucous good time. It gets VERY busy on the weekends, and even some weeknights.
There's no subtlety here... this is a bar to go to and get WASTED and sing badly. Karaoke pros will be impressed, however, by the song selection, which is truly impressive. Bring a camera.
Dress Code: None.
Address: 1942 Market St @ Guerrero
Directions: On Market Street, a short walk east of the Church Muni Station near the gigantic Safeway store at Market/Church.
Theme: Nightclub
"Karaoke" and "The Mint" are synonymous in San Francisco.
For years now, The Mint has been THE place to go to get wasted with a group of friends and make fools of yourselves. Their song selection is incredible, and even serious karaoke fans will be impressed.
The bar can get VERY crowded on weekends and even some weekdays, so don't expect to get a booth... in fact, you shouldn't count on getting a seat of any kind.
Dress Code: None. Absolutely none.
Address: 1942 Market St @ Guerrero
Directions: On Market Street, two blocks east of the Church Street Muni station, or the giant Safeway store.

Fat City - 11th Street
San Francisco nightclubs are notoriously strict about verifying I.D. to see that you're 21 - otherwise known as "carding."
Having worked in a bar for many years, I feel I can tell you how (and why) it works this way. When a bar gets caught serving alcohol to minors, they get their license suspended for 30 days - no warnings, no second chances. For a small bar, this can make the difference between staying open or closing for good. Therefore, these clubs take NO chances.
So here's how it works... if you go to a bar or nightclub in San Francisco, you have to be 21 years of age or older and MUST have a government-issued picture I.D. Period. No exceptions. If you don't have one, you will not get in - EVER. They will not accept any excuses; no amount of whining, crying, or screaming will work. They won't let your older friends "vouch" for you. If you don't have an I.D., YOU WILL NOT GET IN.
And the thing is... there is really no excuse not to have one. Unlike in Europe, hotels in the States do not require you to leave your I.D. Nobody does. And everyone knows it. So if you say you left it at your hotel, they'll know you're lying. Only an IDIOT would even attempt to go clubbing in San Francisco without an I.D. Either an idiot... or someone underage.
This strictness applies to all nightclubs and all bars in hot spots like 11th Street in SOMA, or Broadway. Restaurants are less strict about carding, but if you look under 21, chances are they will ask you for I.D. Perhaps in the grubbier areas of town they are less strict. But you had better play it cool and not act like you're on Spring Break. These bars and clubs can get in SERIOUS TROUBLE because of underage drinkers. If they figure out you are under 21, you can expect to be immediately ejected from the club.
SF law actually states that you have to have an I.D. regardless of your age. Even if you're 50, you still have to have I.D., and if you don't, the bar does not have to let you in. I'm always amazed at how some people just HAVE to be jerks about it and insist on not bringing I.D. and arguing with the door people! It's stupid! Just bring your damn I.D. and have fun!
Theme: Nightclub
The Mad Dog is a nice English Pub like place on Haight St. in the Lower Haight. They do have food, which is OK, but the main thing here is beer. Lots of delicious ales. It's also a great sports bar, with the emphasis being on soccer, particularly English Premier League. They usually have the later rounds of FA Cup action. This is also a place to look for sports tickets; the owners often organize excursions to 49er and Giants games.
Address: Haight St. btn. Steiner and Fillmore
Directions: There are several other bars on this 2 block stretch of Haight St., including Noc Noc, Toronado, Molotov's, and Danny Coyle's.
Theme: Eating and Drinking
The Toronado is about one thing and one thing only - beer. They have literally hundreds of different beers from all over the world. Like most places in the neighborhood, it attracts a scruffy but jovial local crowd. The Rosamund Sausage Grill is right next door, should you get hungry.
For a real treat, try the delicious Framboise Lambic - a Belgian beer fermented with raspberries.
They also have GREAT T-shirts! They're black, with their logo - a fist holding a pint of Guiness - emblazened in white accross the front. A must have souveneir!
Address: 547 Haight St. between Fillmore/Steiner
Phone: 415-863-2276
Theme: Eating and Drinking
The Peacock Lounge is one of the strangest clubs you will ever go to. It is, as Forrest Gump would say, like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get!
The Peacock has no regular hours. It is available by rental only, so on Friday and Saturday nights it will usually be open. The cover charge, admission policies, and entertainment are all up to the folks renting it - and can range from a lineup of local rock bands to art openings to performance art to theater and everything in between. The only way to know is to show up.
Sometimes events there will be by invitation only, but if you explain that you're a tourist (and give them a little money), I'm sure they'd let you in. The bar is run by the owners, and is usually a low-budget affair - cans of beer in big ice tubs for $2. Last time I went they had liquor, but who knows now.
The great thing about the Peacock is that, whatever you see there, it will be the real San Francisco. You'll meet great people and see how the locals do things.
Dress Code: Again, up to the renters, but given the neighborhood, I would say none.
Address: 552 Haight St.
Directions: The Peacock, like almost everything else of consequence in the Lower Haight, is located on Haight btn Fillmore/Steiner. You can try calling to find out if anything's going on, but don't expect too much info other than whether they're open or not.
Phone: 415-621-9850

The poles don't lie!
There sometimes seems to be more club listing papers than there are actual clubs, but here are the tried and true ones...
BAY GUARDIAN - The "establishment alternative paper" has been around since the 70's and is geared toward an older, more PC audience. Has news and progressive editorials, but also lots of club listings.
SF WEEKLY - the SF weekly WAS a great paper - formerly the SF Calendar, it was a real voice of alternative SF. Then they sold out to a newspaper group specializing in cookie cutter "alternative" weeklies, and now it's basically a yuppie rag. The dot-commers loved it - full of smug, self-important, "we're so hip and rich and cool" righteousness. It caters to young, arrogant yuppies "slumming." We used to call them "Reagan Youth." Anyway, the plus side is you will find much more listings for trendier, dance-y type stuff.
PINK SECTION (Sunday SF Chronicle) - Known mainly for it's movie reviews, it's great for those looking for more conventional entertainment like symphonies, art openings, larger rock concerts, Broadway-style shows and the like. Don't expect much in the way of club listings here.
FLYERS ON TELEPHONE POLES - These are the best way to find out about local shows. They will mainly be put up by local musicians, not very far in advance, and you'll see a real city crowd.

Also this week, Horne, in response to a public records request, disclosed that Selectman Christopher Donato had formally requested the personnel file of the police chief. She said he was not given the file, which is not public record, because DeLuca did not file a written release form.
Board mum on chief contract

DeLuca was informed, by a letter on June 4 from Town Manager Richard MacDonald, that his contract would not be renewed when it expires on Nov. 20. At a Board of Selectmen's meeting June 15, the selectmen voted 2-1 to overrule MacDonald's letter –– although the effect of that vote on the chief's contract status remains unclear.

A 20-year-old Air Force recruit who died of raccoon rabies had symptoms of the disease but wasn't tested before his organs were transplanted to four patients, one of whom died of rabies nearly 18 months later, federal health officials said Friday.
The three other organ recipients are getting rabies shots and haven't displayed symptoms. Doctors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declined to speculate on their chances for survival.
Dr. Matthew Kuehnert, director of the agency's Office of Blood, Organ, and Other Tissue Safety, said investigators don't know why doctors in Florida didn't test the donor for rabies before offering his kidneys, heart and liver to people in Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland.
The man in Maryland who received the transplant died. The Defense Department said he was an Army veteran who had transplant surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
A rabies test after a death can take four hours once the tissue reaches a lab in Atlanta, New York and California, Franka said. That's precious time, considering a donated kidney remains viable for less than 24 hours; other organs last for less than six.
The donor had seizures and encephalitis — a brain inflammation that can be caused by rabies — but those symptoms can also be caused by a variety of bacterial, viral and other more common conditions.
"Rabies is very unusual and it can look like a lot of different things," Kuehnert said. "I personally can't say I would have been able to make the correct diagnosis had I been there."
Federal rules require organ banks to disclose "any known or suspected" infectious conditions that might be transmitted by the donor organs. "We don't know exactly what was communicated, but from what I understand of the patient workup, they did not find any evidence of an infection," Kuehnert said.
The donor died in September 2011 at a Florida medical facility. His cause of death was listed as encephalitis of unknown origin, Florida Department of Health epidemiologist Dr. Carina Blackmore said.
Public and military health officials said they're trying to identify people in all five states who had close contact with the donor or the recipients. Those people might also need treatment.
The CDC said there has been just one other reported instance of rabies transmission by transplanted solid organs, a 2004 case in which all four recipients died. There have been at least eight instances of rabies transmission through cornea transplant, said CDC spokeswoman Barbara Reynolds.
In the United States, rabies is diagnosed as the cause of just one to three human deaths per year, she said, and only one other person is reported to have died from a raccoon-type rabies virus.


text: Treatments for Conjunctivitis in Cats by Petfinder Print Tags: cat-conjunctivitis-treatments, cat-health, Cats, Conjunctivitis, Eyes, Health If your cat shows signs of conjunctivitis, you can try treating him at home with products from your local drug store, such as diluted boric acid (for ophthalmic use), sterile ophthalmic irrigating solution or artificial tears. Call your veterinarian to find out how best to administer these remedies. If you've tried these methods for 24 hours and haven't seen any improvement — such as reduced swelling, redness and discharge — take him to the veterinarian. Thinkstock The veterinarian will take a culture of your cat's eye to determine whether the cause of the irritation is viral or bacterial. The results will determine the type of prescription eye solution necessary. If your vet suspects allergies are the cause of your cat's conjunctivitis, anti-inflammatory drops, such as those containing hydrocortisone, may be recommended. Hydrocortisone drops should not be used, however, if your cat has an ulcerated cornea or is believed to be experiencing an episode of herpesvirus FHV-1. Generally, an eye with conjunctivitis will begin to heal within one to two days after you start treatment. To be certain you have fully addressed the cause, though, you should continue administering any medications for as long as your veterinarian recommends. This is especially important for drops containing antibiotics. A case of conjunctivitis caused by herpesvirus FHV-1 may not be cured just because it has cleared up. The virus will often lie dormant for a while, only to flare up again at a later time. In cases of recurrent conjunctivitis, your veterinarian may prescribe an anti-viral medication. Of course, every cat is different, and some may never experience the condition again. Sources Animal Eye Care, LLC. "Conjunctivitis and ?Corneal Disease in Cats — 'The Squinting Cat.'"

184 pounds. 3 pounds down.
I know I haven't lost any real weight yet.
I think you HAVE to be honest in this business – most importantly – with yourself.
What I've lost is all the EXTRA crap that was in my system. Oddly, that extra crap did seem to suck my energy, mood, and more. I think my body maintained extra fluid as a result of the extra crap too.
So my guess is that 184 is my REAL starting weight. I'll probably plateau here for about 3-4 days before finally getting to my first pound.
You gotta be real.
CHOICES: Today I DID order a VENTI Starbucks skinny mocha for breakfast. It was FREE because I had a reward. But Starbuck's skinnies are pretty point efficient – about 4,5,6 points respectively for tall, grande, and venti. I didn't look them up, but I think I'm approximately correct.
Now I just hope it gets me to lunch.
6:15P – Learn that salmon is 2 points per 3 ounces. Completely pig out on salmon. Yum. Yum.
7:15P – still have about 5 points left. I can have ANYTHING. Yay me. Letting tummy settle.
8:15P – Mini Peanut butter cup wrapped in peanut butter cookie (small). Three points. But man-oh-man that tasted good.
Finished up at 34 points. What a FANTABULISTIC weight watchers day.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Ring won't print - need some feedback / advice http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59171&th=12138#msg_59171 <![CDATA[Hey all,

 I'm working on a personal passion-project at the moment - I call it 'Deathring the Destroyer'.

  http://www.shapeways.com/model/841427/ring___deathring_the_d estroyer__size_13_.html?key=4a0b496ed86b65d6a8e7956dadd65a88

 Unfortunately, after speaking with Shapeways support, it seems it won't print. There are areas of the ring and areas of the dragon head that are too thin (such as the tapering on the horns). Now, I can easily fix the ring walls - just make it a little thicker - but it will be very difficult to fix the dragon's head (and quite honestly, I don't want to - I like the scale it's at now, and I don't see why it can't be printed as is). I need a little advice here. I don't see how my model is apparently too thin for printing, while similar rings like these (from another designer):

  http://www.shapeways.com/model/278071/o-cuniculus.html?li=pr oductBox-search
  http://www.shapeways.com/model/267283/o-virginianus.html?li= moreFromDesigner/?material=23

 Have obviously been successfully printed. If anything, I would say mine is sturdier, not the other way around.

 Is anyone able to give me some feedback or assistance? (if you're curious, I've attached the image they sent me - maybe you can make better sense of it than me.

 Thanks in advance for any help.
 ]]> PeregrineStudios 2012-12-24T18:39:49-00:00 Re: Ring won't print - need some feedback / advice http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59201&th=12138#msg_59201 <![CDATA[Hi PeregrineStudios;

 Take a look at this post for some ideas:

  http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=5021 0&#msg_50210

 It looks like the long horns might be a breakage or polishing problem if they're less than 4.5mm thick according to this:

The stars are finally out
There can be no doubt
A bomb has never sounded quite as sweet
We have been overrun by the gentrification
Of what were once majestic city streets
I waited at the place you said
The same old place we always met
I waited for an hour or two
Waiting on a mile-long fuse
Waiting for a sign from you
If I don't see you soon
If I don't see you soon
I don't know just what I'm gonna do
If I don't see you soon
If I don't see you soon
I'll have to find another game to lose
I waited for an hour or two
You always make me wait for you

I live in VA and the family in in NY. I cant travel much after mid march. I have a long weekend from school in mid-february for presidents day weekend so I could fly back for a shower. That way I wouldn't have to use any personal/sick time that I will need for maternity leave. I will only be 27 weeks along though. Is this too early for a baby shower?
Is 27 weeks too early for a baby shower?
I was around 27 weeks along when I had my baby shower. It depends on what date fits you the best I think and if you feel like doing it now Do it!! hope you have fun
You gotta do what you gotta do :) If it works for you and your family I say go for it :)
Sarah-Irene mom to:
Cole 06/25/98 (ADHD, hopefully online schooling for 8th grade)
�Kaylan 04/08/09 (speech delayed signer)
i'd definately go for it too. i had mine at 30 weeks and i think it worked out well, everyone had time and i wasn't too miserable to walk around and talk to everyone. also, i was still able to bring all the stuff home and arrange it the way i wanted it. i didn't have to ask someone to come help me. so yeah i'd say go for it! it'll be easier on you and everyone else. good luck, hope you get lots of good stuff!! :)
Katie + Shane = 4 wild boys & one sweet princess!
I had mine around then. It will be good because you will feel great and you can still move to open gifts and be up and walking around.
I am having my shower Jan 10th because a lot of my friends are in college and can'y come if I hold it after.
I had my shower around that time. I think whatever works for you and your family is fine.
proud Mom
I was 27 weeks at my shower. You never know when the baby might come. It's always better to be safe than sorry...I definitely didn't want to have the shower after my babies came.
christine~ mommy to twin girls Aurielle and Isabelle born on January 20, 2009
Im in the same boat my family lives in ks and im stuck in ky i had my baby shower the last time i was home and i think i was about 22 or so weeks i know really early but i dont have any one out here to give me. i would go for it!! good luck with everythig
Wife to Brett 6-18-2008
Mommy to Savannah 3-04-2009
im 20wks and im having my baby shower in just a few weeks and all my family lives in CA and i live with my husband who is in the army in AL and we're always tight on money so my mom is throwing one for me when i go back for christmas on the 21st
I think that's fine-I'm due in February, and I had one at 24 weeks 4 hours from home and one at 27 weeks at my office. It was too hard to schedule travel and around the holiday schedules so we did those early. I will have another one at 36 weeks but that one is here in town with friends.

I have an application that needs to perform multiple network queries each one of those returns 100 records.
I'd like to keep all the results (several thousand or so) together in a single Memcached record named according to the user's request.
Is there a way to append data to a Memcached record or do I need to read and write it back and forth and combine the old results with the new ones by the means of my application?

OK,I'm ready. *lol* I looked back on August boxes from 2014 and 2013 and it seems they aren't as season specific as most months, which is nice. It seems they kind of bridge summer/fall. About now every year I get SO excited for fall and am over summer (we had a freak rain/thunder/lightning storm yesterday and I was in heaven) -I know, I should probably be committed. I live in So CA and we are in a horrendous drought so heat is not exactly welcome.
Anyway, bring it on! Let's go!

St. Louis Rams defensive end and former West Texas A&M standout Eugene Sims' return to Texas did not go as planned, the Rams lost 31-7 Sunday to the Dallas Cowboys, but he was still able to take time to appreciate the experience of playing in the state where he excelled as a college player.
Sims, who the Rams drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 draft, played for West Texas A&M in 2008 and 2009, and is sixth on the Buffs' single-season sack list with the 10 he had during the 2008 season.

Former West Texas A&M head football coach Don Carthel said Tuesday he plans to be in the stands to watch his former team face his son at 6 p.m. Saturday on Happy State Bank Field at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, but he does not have any future job projections at this time.
"The good Lord has closed one door, but I'm sure he'll open another door for me in my future," Carthel said. "We'll play it one day at a time, and I'm not in any hurry to make a decision right now on anything."

Nathan Slaughter, a 20-year-old, 5-foot-10, 185-pound senior wide receiver from Lubbock, caught two passes for 36 yards and returned a kickoff 69 yards in West Texas A&M's 34-31 win Sept. 12 over Chadron State at AT&T Stadium.

West Texas A&M senior wide receiver Nathan Slaughter made sure the Buffs' exposure on national television lasted a little longer.
Slaughter made a leaping, one-handed catch in the second quarter of No. 4 West Texas A&M's dramatic 34-31 win Thursday against No. 18 Chadron State in a Lone Star Football Festival game at AT&T Stadium in Arilington.
The game was broadcast nationally on the CBS College Sports Network, and ESPN ranked Slaughter's catch No. 7 in its Top 10 segment on "Sportscenter."

Oldie Complains About the Old Old Ways
I saw a thing on Twitter that said I'm just an old guy complaining about the new ways. Then the tweet was deleted, to the credit of its author. But let me take up the point.
It's not the new ways that bother me — it's the old old ways. That is, how I wrote apps before I started using AppKit.
In those days it was common to use C or C++ — always C for me, thankfully — and you may or may not have used an app framework (MacApp, PowerPlant, MFC, etc.). The app framework might generate code for you, which was a source of fragility and bugs. But, even if not, you had to do things like this:
Menu item with unique ID is chosen
App's central event handler is called
App looks at its context and dispatches event to the right function
There were lots of switch statements. To add, for instance, a copy (or whatever) implementation to a particular view, you'd have to edit your event dispatcher to know about that particular view and its copy function. Making changes required making changes in various places.
Sure, there were things you could to make this a bit easier. It didn't have to be total spaghetti. But, even at best, it was bad code, and there was nothing you could do about it.
Contrast that with the first time I used AppKit about 15 years ago. I wrote an action method in a view, wired it to a menu item in Interface Builder, and it worked. No switch statements, no touching a half-dozen locations just to add a command.
I'm sure, that first time, that I didn't even wire that menu item up to First Responder. It was wired directly. But, even still, AppKit used the runtime's dynamic features to be able to find and call the right object and the right method. And that's still true today. (Even in UIKit. Even if it's a button. In other words, if you don't think you're taking advantage of Objective-C's dynamic features, you totally are.)
It seemed like magic, then. I later came to understand how it worked, and then it just seemed like brilliance. (Brilliance is better than magic, because you get to learn it.)
* * *
So when people like me write about these problems, it's not because we fear the future and new ways of doing things. We love learning new ways of doing things — particularly when they're better solutions to the problems we have.
We're not afraid of the future — we're afraid of the past.
We remember how these problems were solved by the static languages of the day, and we don't want to go back. In the words of Guy English:
If you see a switch statement or dispatch table they blew it.
So, again, I'm documenting the problems currently solved by Objective-C's dynamism, and suggesting that Swift, as it evolves, needs to take these problems into account. The foundation should be built with some idea of what the upper floors will look like.
The answer doesn't have to be that Swift is dynamic in the way Objective-C is, or even dynamic at all. But the eventual Swift app frameworks need to solve these problems as well as — hopefully better than — UIKit and AppKit do right now. And those solutions start with the language.
PS I think I'll write about plugins next.
WA Primary vs. Caucus
While 230,000+ people participated in Washington state's Democratic caucus, 661,403 (and counting) participated in the non-binding Democratic primary.
The results were even different — Sanders won the caucus by a large margin, while Clinton is winning the primary. Those results could be explained by several different factors, though, and that's not my point.
My point is that the caucus system decreases participation, and is therefore less democratic than primaries.
In my state we have mail-in voting, which is more fair and accessible than caucuses or even going to the polls on election day.
Anyone who works or cares for children or adults — or who has other responsibilities that keep them from participating in a caucus — can still vote via mail.
And anyone for whom it's physically or psychically difficult or impossible to attend a caucus has a much better chance of voting via mail.
As a Democrat, it's disheartening to see my own party effectively locking out many thousands of people from participating. This goes against my values — and it goes against the values of the Democratic party. (Or so I thought.)
I wrote a note to the Washington State Democrats and argued the above. You can too.
* * *
The other thing people argue about is whether or not primaries should be open — that is, do you have to be a registered Democrat or Republican to be able to vote?
I like Washington's system: you have to check a box on your primary ballot that you consider yourself a Democrat or Republican. That's it.
I think it's absolutely fair that a party would want members of its party to choose their nominee. You don't want other people to choose your nominee for you.
But at the same time it shouldn't be onerous to declare that you're a Democrat or Republican. If you're not willing to do that much — well, then, that's a valid choice, but you don't get to vote.
Paul, Daniel, Dave
Paul Kim, On Dynamism:
My problems aren't performance. They aren't type-safety (maybe it's just me, but I rarely have issues with it and when I do, the time it takes to fix it is far less than the time specifying everything to a tee everywhere else). They aren't being able to write clever VDLs. For me, it's writing apps that solve my users' problems and getting them out in a timely fashion. As it stands now, Swift (at least pure-Swift, or even current Swift as a non-ABI-stable moving target) does not do that for me.
Now maybe these same problems can be solved in a static way but what I'm not seeing from the static-camp are (decent) solutions. What I'm seeing are either hand-waving or the same crufty code-generation, write tons of repetitive boilerplate type of solutions that I had hoped we had left behind in the 90s.
What I do see makes me worry that it's not the experienced app-writers that are being heard.
* * *
Daniel Jalkut, Not Perfected Here:
Swift is a fascinating, beautiful language. How will it evolve to prove superior, in the long-run to Objective-C? By providing a suite of impedance-matched frameworks that fulfill all the needs of current iOS and Mac developers.
* * *
Dave DeLong posted 12 tweets on the subject, starting here, and including:
5/ but one of the things I love about @SwiftLang is that, since the dynamism isn't there, I have to think about problems in new ways
8/ I know that the people working on @SwiftLang are some of the most brilliant people in the world, and they all also love Objective-C
10/ so maybe we'll end up dynamism. Maybe we won't. What we WILL end up with is one of the most kick-ass languages in the world
Though I could ask about the frameworks (and I did), I can't argue with Dave's conclusion. I've said before, and will say again, that I'm writing all my new code in Swift and I'm enjoying it a ton, and I get bugged when I have to write Objective-C.
In other words — if you think that the various people writing about Swift and dynamism are anti-Swift, you've got it wrong.
Dynamic Swift Comments on Hacker News
I don't generally point to (or even read) comments on Hacker News — because in the past I've found that they're like other comments on the web.
However, I think the Hacker News comments on Michael Tsai's Dynamic Swift post are worth reading.
Ash and Marcel
Ash Furrow, Adulterated Objective-C:
…maybe it's not important to re-invent Objective-C's dynamic runtime in Swift. The language is far more static than Objective-C. And besides, a dynamic runtime is only a set of tools used to solve problems. In a different context, like Swift, different tools might be better suited.
Problems currently solved with dynamic programming should have solutions just as good (if not better) in Swift and future Swift-only app frameworks. And "better" can't mean, "Yes, it's a big pain now and inelegant, but the compiler's happy."
I'm skeptical that there is a solution short of adopting the same kinds of dynamic features Objective-C has, but I'm only skeptical. I don't say it's impossible. I want to be surprised and amazed.
* * *
Marcel Weiher, What's Missing in the Discussion about Dynamic Swift:
The truly amazing thing about KVC, CoreData, bindings, HOM, NSUndoManager and so on is that none of them were known when Objective-C was designed, and none of them needed specific language/compiler support to implement.
Instead, the language was and is sufficiently malleable that its users can think up these things and then go to implement them. So instead of being an afterthought, a legacy concern or a feature grudgingly and minimally implemented, the metasystem should be the primary focus of new language development. (And unsurprisingly, that's the case in Objective-Smalltalk).
Updating Local Objects with Server Objects
I've spent much of my career writing apps that store objects locally that come from the web — and that may change on the web, and then need to be updated locally.
This kind of code can be tedious to write. Given a local object and an objectified version of some JSON or XML or whatever, I'd write something like this (translated to Swift for fun):
if localObject.foo != serverObject.foo {
localObject.foo = serverObject.foo
changeDictionary[fooKey] = serverObject.foo
if localObject.bar != serverObject.bar {
localObject.foo = serverObject.bar
changeDictionary[barKey] = serverObject.bar
// multiply above a dozen times and for several different classes
return changeDictionary
Maybe you spotted the bug in the above, and maybe you didn't — and that's part of my point. I'd write this code using copy-and-paste, and then go over it visually, line-by-line, to make sure it's right, and sometimes I'd miss something anyway.
foo and
bar are both strings, for instance, the above would compile and all would be well. Except that I've written a bug where
localObject.foo = serverObject.bar.
Eventually I found a better way — some code that I can write once, and that can't have the bug I wrote above. See this gist.
* * *
The solution is pretty simple. You have two objects — which may or may not be the same class but where the properties have the same names — and then loop through an array of mergeable property names. (The two objects don't have to have the exact same list of property names. They just have to have the mergeable property names and types in common, since those are the ones we care about.)
Then there's a method that compares the local and server objects. For each property name in the list, it gets the localValue and serverValue using
valueForKey:, and then compares them (via
When they're not equal, then it uses
setValue:forKey: on localObject to give it the serverValue. It also adds the property name and new value to a change dictionary. (That dictionary could be useful for efficient database updating, sending notifications, etc.)
There are places this could go wrong, and where the compiler wouldn't complain. In the gist there's this line:
static let mergeablePropertyNames = ["dog", "cat", "zebra", "numberOfAnimals", "fedTheTigers", "attendingDoctors"]
Obviously that line has to be maintained, and it has to be true that both local and server objects have those properties and those properties have to be of the same type. Yes.
However, you're going to notice any error at runtime pretty quickly, since you'll get an exception — while you may not notice the
localObject.foo = serverObject.bar bug from the manual version any time soon.
Best thing: you can reuse that
updateLocalObjectWithServerObject method for all the various local/server object updating you need to do in all your apps.
* * *
Even though we're writing in Swift here, the solution uses the Objective-C runtime and KVC.
KVC is both awesome and to be used sparingly. Most of the time you want to write standard code that the compiler can better check — you want to write
foo.bar = true. Absolutely.
But there are those occasional critical cases where KVC creates more reliable code that's easier to maintain, debug, and reuse. This is one of those.
Layers Conference
In case you haven't seen it mentioned already — Layers is a design conference in San Francisco taking place the same week as WWDC. It's "like a party, but for learning," and promises snacks, and people I respect tell me it's wonderful.
Be sure to scroll down and look at the list of presenters. It's amazing.
Gus and Craig
Being able to write dynamic, responder chain-like code in Swift or Objective-C (or whatever) is extremely important to me. And if I had to give one reason why it would be this: Dynamic code is less code, and less code means fewer bugs and maintenance.
The community around Swift's evolution is amazing. The language is improving quickly and dramatically thanks to talented developers inside and outside of Apple. It's a remarkable open source project.
My concern is that there isn't a corresponding discussion about the things we're going to build with this new language. As you've just seen, frameworks are important, yet there is no uikit-evolution mailing list. There is an imbalance between the tool and the craft.
What I'm Doing With These Articles
In case it's not clear: with recent and future articles I'm documenting problems that Mac and iOS developers solve using the dynamic features of the Objective-C runtime.
My point isn't to argue that Swift itself should have similar features — I think it should, but that's not the point.
The point is that these problems will need solving in a possible future world without the Objective-C runtime. These kinds of problems should be considered as that world is being designed. The answers don't have to be the same answers as Objective-C — but they need to be good answers, better than (for instance) writing a script to generate some code.
(Swift is just one part of that future world. The part I care about more, far more — as much as I love Swift — is any app frameworks built on Swift. But the design of Swift has an impact on the design of those frameworks.)
There's a second point: many people writing in Swift right now seem not to realize the extent of their reliance on Objective-C's dynamism. Even if you don't write a line of Objective-C, you're running a ton of code that is Objective-C, and that dynamic runtime, and the app frameworks built on top, is what makes your apps actually work. This is kind of a "duh" thing, I realize, but it's worth the reminder.
Next up (probably Thursday or Friday) will be a thing on easily updating local model objects with data downloaded from a server. And then more to come.
0.0001% of the Way to Core Data
This post isn't about Core Data — but it's a well-known example of adding methods at runtime, so I'll use it.
Let's imagine you want to make something like Core Data. You have a bunch of different model objects backed by a database. You want to implement faulting — that is, an object's properties are nil in memory until you actually access one of the properties, at which point it pulls its values from the database.
You have some options for how to do this. You could skip properties entirely and override
valueForKey: and
setValue:forKey:, and always access the values that way. Your overridden versions of those two methods would handle faulting. But this makes for a bunch of strings in your code, and it isn't nearly as readable as
obj.foo = bar.
Alternately you could create all the getters and setters by hand, for all the properties in all your data objects, and be sure to include a hypothetical
fetchIfNeeded call in every single getter and setter. That's a ton of copy-and-pasting. It gets you
obj.foo = bar syntax, but it's also tedious, error-prone, and painful to maintain. (You could use macros or a script to make this a bit easier, but it's still sucky.)
Instead, you want to solve the problem reliably and once. You want maintenance of your data objects to be no more difficult than adding and removing properties and their associated
@dynamic declarations. (Actual database schema maintenance is a separate consideration — that's in the remaining 99.9999% of the way to Core Data.)
While I can't say for sure how Core Data adds methods at runtime, I can say for sure that this particular magic is available to us and not just to Apple. Which is as it should be — we have every right to expect that same power.
How to add methods at runtime
Here's the plan. We'll create a
DataObject class that adds methods. Your model classes will inherit from
DataObject. Your model classes will be free of anything odd — all that stuff goes into
DataObject, which you can write once and then forget.
You need a class method —
+ (BOOL)resolveInstanceMethod:(SEL)selector — that will get called when the runtime is looking for the accessors for your properties.
If the selector is a getter or setter for one of your properties, then your
resolveInstanceMethod will call
class_addMethod, which appears in objc/runtime.h, with the appropriate parameters, including a C function that is the actual implementation of the method (an IMP).
class_addMethod([self class], selector, (IMP)getterIMP, "@@:");
It's actually unbelievably easy. See my sample demo app on Bitbucket, which shows the basics.
(You can get fancier than I did — you might start by using reflection to get the list of property names instead of using an array, for instance. You could handle non-object types.)
But why?
Maybe you're thinking, "Great, but I already just use Core Data and don't need this at all."
First: congratulations on using Core Data. It's the right move.
Second: imagine a different scenario — think of DB5. DB5 lets you put a bunch of appearance definitions — strings, colors, edge insets, and so on — inside a plist so that you don't have to scatter all these values throughout your app. It's a nice utility, but its API is all string-based, which means plenty of room for typos and errors.
Imagine, instead, if you could define the set of appearance properties your app needs. This would make errors less likely: the compiler would be your friend. But you definitely don't want to go through the error-prone work of actually creating a hundred accessors — you want those created automatically for you at runtime.
As you might imagine, someone's actually already done that: it's how Omni's OAAppearance class works. And, as a bonus, there's an Xcoders talk from Curt Clifton that goes into detail. (The audio isn't great, but the talk is worth it anyway.)
And, as a double-bonus, OAAppearance is open source on GitHub.

John Dewey
John Dewey (1859–1952) was a highly respected American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, whose ideas continue to be significantly influential.
Dewey was a leading representative of the progressive movement in U.S. schooling during the first half of the 20th century. The ultimate goal of education, for Dewey, was to enable each individual to become an effective member of a democratic society. Dewey was critical of "traditional", teacher-centric educational styles, but equally critical of the overly free "progressive" educational movements for lacking sufficient theory and discipline in their pedagogical methods.
Dewey proposed that a theory of experience was needed in order to be able to understand students' learning experiences and how they might be optimally arranged and facilitated by teachers.
Dewey proposed two key principles in his theory of experience:
- Continuity: All experiences affect all future experiences (for better or worse)
- Interaction: All past experiences interact with the present circumstances to give rise to each person's unique experience of the present.
Carver and Enfield (2006)[1] provide a contemporary description of Dewey's principles of continuity and interaction operating within an experiential education program.
"Keeping track is a matter of reflective review and summarizing, in which there is both discrimination and record of the significant features of a developing experience. To reflect is to look back over what has been done so as to extract the net meanings which are the capital stock for intelligent dealing with further experiences. It is the heart of intellectual organization and of the disciplined mind."
"Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing they are studying at the time."

ALSRC, Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container
The Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container (ALSRC) was an aluminum box with a triple seal. It was used on Apollo lunar landing missions to preserve a lunar-like vacuum around the samples and protect them from the shock environment of the earth return flight. An aluminum mesh liner helped absorb the shock impacts. Prior to flight, each box was loaded with sample container bags and other sample containment devices. On the moon, while samples were being loaded, the seals were protected by a Teflon film and a cloth cover which were removed just prior to closing the box. Two ALSRC's were used on each mission.
This particular ALSRC was used for ground qualification tests. It is similar to the containers that actually flew to the Moon. It was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1974.

He thinks he picked up their trail in San Francisco, found their footprints in the glow in the dark sawdust! Lololol?
Please don't act so cheaply. Please grow up.
Latest update from Maxdad was a homeless person spotted gadflypeckerhead and greycornhole laying face down on a bench at the train station with a "money cup" next to them that read " will pretend I am asleep for money" curious thing is they had their pants on backwards with the zipper open ?????? Lolololol
It is with pleasure that I read your post and observe your thinly veiled pain. I know that you have been served up every detail about LaffyStock on a silver platter. I know this because I have personally done this many times. I have also read GWP's posts and I know he has done this too. So, since you have been spoon fed the truth, I certainly feel no sorry for your suffering. The fact that you people are so nasty despite all the wisdom spoon-fed to you makes me actually relish your financial suffering. With each childish rant that you put forth, it is apparent to all that you are suffering financially. It is with extreme pleasure that I observe all of your personal suffering and financial destruction. Thank you so much for being exactly who you are.
Lol, geycornhole it must be painful inside your head, feel sorry for your family!!!
You mean troll hunting isn't a sport?
Soooo Funny, I love it!
Sentiment: Hold
i laughed so hard at this.
he better watch greycum...but then again gadflypeckerhead you have to watch
