Holding on
To tell the truth, as a person who has always viewed life through the eyes of a child and a writer, I have never understood how a steel giant weighing tons can stay in the air.
Nor have I tried to understand. I was content to persuade myself that it was a simple matter of engineering. Perhaps for that reason I have never in my life experienced fear of flying. With one exception... And that had to do with my being a writer. Or more precisely, with the significance I attach to my being a writer. For my writing career has always been for me the be-all and end-all of my existence. It was 1997. I was on my way to Germany. I had won a writer's fellowship. I was going to stay somewhere near Berlin for four months, write my novel, perhaps even finish it. I had already made considerable progress on "Istanbul Was A Fairy Tale" in the four years I'd been working on it. I write out all my novels first in longhand, because that is the only way I can feel I'm writing. The stage of putting it on the computer is the last and hardest part. I had not yet come to that stage. I didn't know yet how many more pages I was going to write in longhand, but I knew that I had written about five hundred pages. I had brought the file with me, of course; it was in my bag. I had only that one copy. In other words, there was no second copy. The journey began like any journey. I was a little sad knowing that I would be away from Istanbul for a long time, but when I thought about my novel, and the fact that I was finally going to spend my days as a full-time writer, I was able to inspire myself with a little hope. Eventually it came time to land. I was sitting next to the window. The city had come into view down below.
I noticed that the plane suddenly dipped to one side. We seemed to have veered extremely close to a hill. This was probably a very well-known landing maneuver, familiar to the pilot who had repeated it countless times. But that didn't occur to me at that moment, and for some reason - I don't know why - for the first time in my life I got carried away with the bad chance. Naturally a number of people came to my mind. Most of all my daughters. The only thing I did have with me was my book, in my bag. All the things I had written on those sheets of paper. My stories, my lines that no one knew about but me. I grabbed my bag and held it close to me. Because holding on to that bag meant holding on to life... That's how precious my writings were for me...
In the end the plane landed. Berlin was waiting for me. Nobody knew what I had gone through. Just as I didn't know what was going to happen to me during my four months in that city...

JSP, XSLT and Separation of concerns
By sundararajan on Jan 10, 2005
I was reading on Apache Tapestry web application framework. It seems to me that the main advantage of Tapestry is this: HTML authors ("page designers") can use standard HTML editing tools and view the page in webbrowser -- without requiring any special edit tools and/or webserver along with that. Dynamic portions of HTML page are identified by a special attribute used with standard HTML tags. Because browsers ignore attributes that are not understood, these special attributes are ignored while viewing. Server side components replace/modify the tags with these special attribute to generate the dynamic content. This way, roles are very clearly separated. Page designers don't even need to know or use any special tags or scripts.
With JSP and JSTL, we can completely avoid scripts in dynamic web pages. But, still the dynamic webpages can't be edited/viewed with standard HTML editing tools/browser. We have to use a webserver. More importantly, page designer is not isolated from JSP tags. i.e., s/he needs to know/use JSP/JSTL tags for dynamic content.
How can we achieve Tapestry-like separation of concerns with JSP/JSTL model? I think that is where XSLT can help us. Page author uses standard XHTML editing tools and identifies dynamic portions of the page by special attributes (jsp:id?). Then, we transform the XHTML page using a XSL stylesheet. The XSLT sheet transforms the XHTML page into a JSP page. i.e., dynamic content writer writes a XSLT sheet that transforms page author's XHTML page into a JSP page. Contract b/w page designer and dynamic content author is list of special attributes and values of the same.
This transformation mentioned above can be done either at development time or at runtime. In development time transform, JSP generation occurs by a build step in ant or other make tool. The XHTML page is kept in the webapp only for future static content editing -- not for serving clients. In runtime transformation, XHTML page is translated by JSP page to put dynamic content in it at request time. We may use JSTL XML transformation tags in the JSP page (instead of XSLT). To make runtime XML manipulation faster, JSP container implementations may have to "inline" JSTL XML tags (i.e., specially compile JSTL XML tags instead of calling Tag classes) -- may be, generate XSLTC-like code in the resultant servlet? or is it possible to compile such a XSLT file (that transforms input XML into JSP) as a servlet directly?
Apart from separation of concerns, there is atleast 2 advantages I can see with this style.
- As of now, a JSP page is compiled into one method in a servlet class. If the page is huge, at times the resultant JSP servlet's _jspService method reaches JVM maximum method size limit (which is 65534 bytes with JVM spec. second edition). At that point, user to resort to techniques like HTML-frames or using JSP include feature -- not a very pleasant situation. With transformation happening at runtime, we will not have any such limit (other than memory needed for keeping internal representation of input XML).
- runtime transformation style may also be used to implement (messaging style) webservices. Such a webservice will be written completely in XML files. (no Java code at all).

Geekologie Writer Quoted On CakeWrecks
Well, this is the part of the day when I toot my own horn because nobody else will touch it, no matter how much money or free ShamWow I offer. So, the cakewrecks blog (a personal favorite of mine) quoted me in a post about nose cakes yesterday. I'm "that guy from Geekologie". WOOT! I've made it -- I've finally made it! *wipes tear* You see that, dad? And you always said I'd never amount to anything! What? I told you, your rent money is coming! Fix my sink already, God. Also, could you float me a $20 -- I wanna go to the mall.
Thanks to Whitney and Melodious Monk for pointing out the PEW.

Fabrecia Roberson and the Green Wave
return to action on Saturday
Nov. 11, 1999
NEW ORLEANS, La. - - The Tulane women's basketball team has added a third signee during the early signing period, head coach Lisa Stockton announced Thursday.
Tymeka Moore of Clear Creek High School in Houston, Texas, becomes the third future Green Wave player to sign a National Letter of Intent.
Moore, a 5-9 guard, has been named first-team all-Greater Houston by the area's sportswriters. She was an all-region selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches this past year and was a first-team all-district choice as well. Moore was a second-team all-district honoree in 1998. As a junior, Moore averaged 12.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
"Tymeka will be a great addition to our program," Stockton said. "We're excited about what she will add to the team in the very near future. She, Kelly Nadeau and Tiffany Wilson should definitely help us continue our ascent into the upper echelon of college basketball."
Moore joins Nadeau and Wilson as Tulane's first signees of the early signing period. Moore is also Tulane's second signee from Clear Creek High School in as many years. Current Green Wave freshman Jessica Carroll graduated from Clear Creek this past spring.
Tulane continues action on Saturday, as the Green Wave play host to Mississippi All-Stars in a preseason exhibition scrimmage. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Fogelman Arena.

Is the Miami Dolphins job this bad?
It's not you, it's me.
That's probably what Jeff Fisher told Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross over the phone this afternoon. As reported by ESPN, Fisher moments ago decided to coach the St. Louis Rams instead of the Dolphins. The decision ends a week of speculation, where Fisher reportedly leaned toward both teams.
But why the Rams over the Dolphins?
The Dolphins hold the advantage in almost every on-field category. They have better offensive weapons. They have better blocks in place on defense. The Dolphins were a few plays from making the playoffs. The Rams were a few plays from the No. 1 overall pick.
The Dolphins' last playoff appearance came in 2008. The Rams have won an NFL-low 15 games since 2007.
With Ross offering the right price, the only logical answer is Fisher wanted more control. In this case, power came before money. And now, the Dolphins are losing respect.
They will now almost certainly have to settle for one of the non-marquee names they interviewed during the process. Unless they can lure Brian Billick or a big-name college coach, they will fail to make that splash hire.

Louisiana Tech had a couple of players come off the board during the later rounds of the NFL draft on Saturday.
The San Francisco 49ers selected receiver Quinton Patton in the fourth round and then offensive tackle Jordan Mills was taken with the 30th pick of the fifth round by the Chicago Bears.
Patton had some productive seasons in Louisiana Tech's explosive offense, including 2012 when he caught 79 passes for 1,202 yards and 11 touchdowns. Mills, a 6-foot-5, 313-pounder out of Napoleonville, is projected to be a left tackle in the NFL but he may end up playing right tackle.

After a lull in activity, the Los Angeles Dodgers have resumed signing minor-league free agents to potentially fill out the Albuquerque Isotopes' roster.
The Dodgers announced on Twitter that they have signed right-handed reliever Sam Demel and third baseman Josh Bell, while another reliever, Josh Ravin, has also reportedly signed with the organization.
Demel, 28, pitched well (1-1, 1.72 ERA, 3 saves, 65 strikeouts in 52.1 innings) with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees) this past season. He has past big-league experience with the Diamondbacks.
Ravin, 26 in January, struggled in the Reds' organization this summer. He was 1-3 with a 5.82 ERA in a season split between Triple-A Louisville and Double-A Pensacola, walking 38 batters in 51 innings. Ravin has never pitched in the Majors.
Bell, 27, is a former Dodgers farmhand who now returns to his original organization. A fourth-round draft pick in 2005, Bell was traded four years later to the Orioles in the deal for big-league reliever George Sherrill. He played in 100 games in the Majors with Baltimore and Arizona, batting just .195/.223/.265. Bell's 2013 was a forgettable campaign (.226/.324/.356, 5 HR, 21 RBI) split between Scranton and Charlotte (White Sox).
All told the Dodgers have signed five infielders this offseason, including Brendan Harris, Daniel Mayora, Clint Robinson and Jamie Romak. They have also signed four other relief pitchers, Juan Gonzalez, Josh Judy, Daniel Moskos and Justin Souza.
Winter leagues update
Most of the current or future Isotopes playing in winter leagues around the Caribbean this season have finished up their campaigns and come home.
In the Dominican League, shortstop Dee Gordon played in just 12 games in center field for the Licey Tigers, batting .348/.412/.370.
In the Puerto Rican League, right-hander Matt Magill struggled (0-3, 6.43, 13 walks in 21 innings) for the Mayaguez Indians.
In the Venezuelan League, right-hander Red Patterson pitched well (2-1, 3.35) in eight starts and one relief appearance for the Lara Cardinals. Outfielders Nick Buss (.301/.337/.495, 3 HR, 22 RBI) and Joc Pederson (.255/.439/.473, 5 HR, 13 RBI) both played well for Lara. Pederson drew 36 walks while striking out 42 times in 110 at-bats.
Left-hander Chris Reed scuffled (1-0, 5.79) in four starts with the La Guaira Sharks.
Managerial search ongoing
The Dodgers have still not named a new manager for the Isotopes for 2014.
Lorenzo Bundy was named Isotopes manager back on Dec. 10, 2010, so the Dodgers are taking even longer this time around to decide on his replacement. Of course, Bundy was simply promoted from within the organization, while there is no obvious in-house replacement this time around.

Ironside Sconce Item # A3160
Industrial Gas-Style Wall Sconce
Customize This Product
Our Industrial gas-style wall bracket brings unadorned good design and a sense of purpose to any room. Damp-rated and durable, the Ironside Sconce is bold enough to light stable stalls and commercial spaces, yet subtle enough to add grace to a living or dining room.
Bare-bones industrial fixtures like these once lit America's thrumming factories and hardworking farms. Their simple, strong forms still lend that sense of purpose to any room they're in. Gas fixtures originally, now fully electrified, the lights these are based on were manufactured by a New York company called Colt.
- Solid-brass, American-made gas pipe and fittings
- Damp-rated and durable; works well for protected outdoor use
- Clamp-on wire cage is optional
- Available in Graphite finish only, for a true industrial look
- Your choice of Clear or Etched glass globes
- Choose standard incandescent or energy-efficient GU24 sockets
When choosing Clear or Etched glass, consider your lighting needs: Clear glass maximizes light, so it's great for showcasing carbon-filament bulbs. Etched glass diffuses light, so it shrouds incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs.

Surprise Baby Shower (15 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I planned this surprise baby shower for my aunt-in-law, who is having a baby girl! She has always been a second mom figure in my life and I was so excited to throw her this party. Over 70 people gathered at her church theatre and she had absolutely no idea this was going to happen. After much planning with her husband and children, we successfully surprised her! It was truly a lovely afternoon with her loved ones.
Decor details: The color scheme was gender-neutral, since I had known that the mother preferred everything for her daughter to be neutral.

Over the years, the Tower Theater at 1201 Westheimer has suffered many indignities. Opened in 1936, the jazzy Art Deco structure has spent most of its life as a movie theater.
Depending on your age, you may remember the Tower Theater differently.
Until the late 1970s, Houstonians could see movies on its single screen. David Welling's Cinema Houston claims the last movie was 1978's Jaws II. In the 1980s, it was converted into a venue for concerts and touring plays (most notably Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) with a stage, lighting, and dressing rooms. Comedians and cabaret shows preceded bands in the 1990s such as Black Crowes, Phish, Los Lobos, Shawn Colvin, John Hiatt, and even avant-garde composer Phillip Glass. The Tower also experimented as Decadance and Clubland. When the owners decided to turn the space into retail, everything inside was removed. Hollywood Video is essentially one large room with the entire floor at street level, and no interior clues to what was once there. The Westheimer entrance under the marquee was closed in exchange for a new side entrance.
Lately, large chunks of the marquee began falling off. No effort appears imminent to replace one of the last pieces of this Art Deco treasure. Is this Closing Night for the Tower Theater marquee? Stay tuned.

How Long Could You Survive Versus a Raptor?
For those of you that don't subscribe to any of our shared feeds (the links are on the right), you're really missing out.
For instance, Ross found this ridiculous website that lets you take a quiz that asks you How Long Could You Survive Chained to a Bunk Bed with a Velociraptor? I made it 1:16, which was longer than Ross but less than Andy. It's awesome and you should take it - it takes like 1 minutes.
I'm not saying that I could beat a dinosaur, but I'm fairly certain that I could make it longer than 1:16. I mean, those dumb kids in Jurassic Park lived - I could make it longer than a minute.
Besides, I've done the research on this - here's an actual video of someone fighting with a raptor.
I'm pretty sure I could duplicate that and I would definitely try to stab the raptor instead of just weakly throwing the stick at him. Plus, it looks like if you can make it 2 minutes, the raptor gets bored/needs a breather and will just sit there for a minute. I think I could definitely win then.
So if anyone knows of a place that I can fight a raptor, let me know and I'll test out my theory. In the meantime, I'll begin by training against this hombre.

This link probably deserves its own post, but for those who haven't seen this yet I present Off-Road Velociraptor Safari. This game does require a software install, but allow me to explain why you want to do this. First you are driving a off-road jeep around and you try to hit raptors with it. Once you do you get a neat little slow motion video of the impact and then you can go on. You actually also get points for jumps and damage done to your jeep, so there's that as well. It seems to have some problems in Chrome, but works well in Firefox and IE.

I fast forwarded to the end of that video to see if anything interesting happens. At least you get to hear the chomping of the raptor eating that chick. But what I really want to know, is where was the raptor that was supposed to come in from the side and gut her? Probably taking a snooze on the job. Lazy fucking raptors. I could take them.

MARTIN O'Neill returns to Villa Park this afternoon for the first time since controversially quitting as Aston Villa boss last August, and the Sunderland manager readily admits his four years at the club "turned sour".
O'Neill enjoyed considerable success with Villa, finishing in sixth position for three seasons in a row and leading the club to the Carling Cup final, which they lost to Manchester United.
However, his reign ended abruptly as he stepped down less than a week before the start of the season amid mounting rumours of a breakdown in his relationship with Villa's American owner, Randy Lerner.
Loading article content
Lerner later released a statement claiming he and O'Neill "no longer shared a common view as to how to move forward", but the Sunderland boss has subsequently denied suggestions he was unhappy with a lack of support in the transfer market.
He made a point of not elaborating yesterday, no doubt keen to dampen down the simmering tensions that are expected to see him receive a rough ride from the Villa supporters this afternoon.
But he was willing to concede he had not left the West Midlands on the best of terms and admit to feeling a degree of unhappiness at the way his time at Villa Park came to an end.
"I had the privilege of managing one of the great clubs of English football," said O'Neill. "They are one of only four English teams to win the European Cup and have a great tradition and history behind them.
"I was there for four years, and I have to admit that in the fourth year, things turned a little bit sour unfortunately. Ironically, that was also our best year because we finished in the top six, got to the final of the League Cup and semi-final of the FA Cup, and were only six points off qualifying for the Champions League.
"That can't be helped, some times these things happen. I'm not in a position here at this moment to change people's minds. Maybe at some stage or another there will be a clearing up of reasons for departure and such things like that, but I don't believe that the eve of this particular game is the right time to do that. I don't think an explanation at this stage would be right."
O'Neill made similar statements during his introductory press conference as Sunderland manager, and there is clearly a festering resentment about the way in which his departure from Villa Park has been portrayed.
Within the Midlands, he was presented as the villain of the piece, walking away on the cusp of a new campaign and effectively scuppering Aston Villa's meticulous pre-season preparations.
The club's performance since has hardly calmed his critics, with Villa never really recovering from their chaotic start, although some supporters are viewing Alex McLeish's struggles as proof of the extent of O'Neill's achievements during his time at their club.
After finishing 11th in his first season, the Northern Irishman spent three successive years in the top six, a considerable feat for any club outside the established big four, a grouping that has now effectively become a big six with the development of Manchester City and Tottenham.
It is certainly hard to imagine Sunderland becoming permanent fixtures in the top six, but as he seeks to elevate his side from ninth position in the four matches that remain, O'Neill insists they are capable of emulating Villa's achievements.
"Could Sunderland achieve what we achieved at Villa? Of course," he said. "The club is certainly big enough to have those sort of demands put on it.
"Whether we're able to do it or not is another thing, but that should be the aim of this football club. Clubs like Villa, Everton and ourselves all want to be part of this league and feel that we can do something in it. That's our aim, our mission. Although whether we can achieve it or not is something else."
For the time being, O'Neill will content himself with putting one over on both his former employers and his successor at Villa Park, Alex McLeish, who is an old adversary from the pair's time on opposite sides of Glasgow's Old Firm divide.
"I admire him greatly, although I never went out to dinner with him up in Scotland," said O'Neill. "I wouldn't have wanted to be seen in any corner of Glasgow eating with the Rangers manager. It would have been the last time I'd eaten myself."

Q: What is blue-green algae?
A: It's not algae at all but a primitive single celled bacteria found naturally in fresh and salt water. Scientists call them cyanobacteria.
Q: Why is it called blue-green algae?
A: Like algae, cyanobacteria use sunlight to photosynthesize and phosphorous and nitrogen for food. The word "cyan" means blue which is an appropriate name since most blooms are blue-green in color.
Q: What is a blue-green algae bloom?
A: When weather, sunlight and nutrients (food) are ideal, cyanobacteria can multiply into what we call a bloom. As long as these bacteria get what they need to survive they can continue to multiply.
Q: What do these blooms look like?
A: There are two major groups. One can look foamy, scummy or thick like paint and blue-green, brownish red, pea green or white in color. The other looks like a dark green or black slimy mat that can have a smelly, offensive odor.
Q: Why do blooms sometimes appear overnight?
A: Most cyanobacteria have evolved to be able to control their buoyancy. By being able to sink and rise at will, they are able to move to where nutrient and light levels are at their highest. At night, when there is no light, cells are able to adjust their buoyancy and often float to the surface forming a surface scum. This scum literally appears overnight and lingers until the wind and waves scatter the cells throughout the water.
Q: Why are these blooms a health concern?
A: Not all blooms are harmful, but some species of cyanobacteria can produce toxins that can cause serious illness or death in pets, livestock and wildlife. These toxins can also make people sick and in sensitive individuals also cause a rash or irritation.
Q: How will I know if the bloom is toxic?
A: Unfortunately, you can't tell if a bloom is toxic just by looking at it. Nor is the size of the bloom associated with the amount of toxins that can be produced. Because we don't know why or when cyanobacteria produce toxins it's impossible to predict when a bloom is toxic unless toxin testing is done. This type of testing is only performed on a few lakes. Q: What are the health risks posed by exposure to these toxins?
A: Although these toxins are not absorbed through the skin, a rash or irritation of the skin and eyes can develop after contact with toxins in the water. If affected water is swallowed, you may experience one or more of these symptoms; headaches, cramps, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, numbness, dizziness, fever. Children and pets are at increased risk of exposure because of their size and level of activity. The most severe reactions occur when large amounts of water are swallowed. The chronic effects of long-term exposure to algae toxins are currently being studied.
Q: How can I protect myself when I am camping or recreating at a lake with a bloom?
A: Stay out of the affected water and keep children and pets away. Never drink or cook with affected water. If you come in contact with affected water, wash off thoroughly with another source of water and soap if available. Q: Can I treat toxins in the water to make it safe to drink?
A: No. Personal water filtration devices for camping or hiking have not been proven to be effective, and boiling water will not remove the toxins. Home filtration devices used to purify well water drawn from a lake affected by a bloom are also inefficient. Q: Is it safe to eat fish?
A: Fish caught in affected waters pose unknown health risks. If you choose to eat them, remove all fat, skin and organs before cooking because toxins are more likely to collect in these tissues. Crayfish (crawdad) muscle can be eaten but discard all organs and liquids before preparing. It is illegal to harvest clams or muscles from freshwater lakes. Q: My drinking water comes from a water source that is affected by algae blooms. Am I at risk?
A: People and water suppliers who draw water directly from an affected waterbody are advised that it may be dangerous to drink. Testing for toxins is the only way to know for sure. Call your supplier and ask if the water has been tested. If not tested, it is recommended that you use an alternative water source not affected by the bloom. To learn more about harmful algae blooms and your drinking water visit the Oregon Health Authority Algae Resources for Drinking Water webpage. Q: What about other outdoor activities?
A: Camping, picnicking, hiking, biking, bird watching and other activities that do not involve water contact are encouraged. Boating is safe as long as speeds don't whip up excessive water spray, which could create an inhalation risk.
Q: Are these blooms a new problem?
A: No. The earliest reliable account of a cyanobacterial bloom dates back to the 12th century; the toxic effects on livestock have been recognized for more than 100 years. Since bloom formation seems to be linked to nutrient-rich waterbodies (those influenced by animals and people where phosphorous and phosphate containing compounds such as fertilizers are used), the problem is not likely to go away in the near future.
