Description (last modified by aaugustin)
__get__ on ForeignKey field uses manager to query the values.
The code is as given below:
# If the related manager indicates that it should be used for # related fields, respect that. rel_mgr = self.field.rel.to._default_manager db = router.db_for_read(self.field.rel.to, instance=instance) if getattr(rel_mgr, 'use_for_related_fields', False): rel_obj = rel_mgr.using(db).get(**params)
Check the last line rel_obj = rel_mgr.using(db).get(**params) for using rel_mgr with multiple databases. rel_mgr.using(db) returns a queryset. If developer has written a custom manager class for which get is overriden, then custom managers get function will never get called. This results in surprises to the developer. I think this line should changed to:
rel_obj = rel_mgr.db_manager(db).get(**params)

I often find that if I want to provide a custom manager method, I also need a custom queryset... but this does seem reasonable.

tried to create a unittest for this
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by sspross
i tried to proof that and it does not work. maybe the way i'm testing it is wrong :)
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by nitinbhide@…
I think you are testing it wrong. As per my understanding, a1.reporter call in
self.assertRaises(a1.reporter, SuccessfulExecutedException)
will result in a call get function of Reporter's _default_manager and not to get function of ArticleWithDummyManager's default_manager.
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by mtredinnick
The test looks like it's going along the right lines. I would suggest to not be so fancy with subclassed models (forcing us all to remember the default manager inheritance rules, which are very tricky). Just make a single model with a relation and explicit default manager. Simpler is better for tests like this so that you're only testing related managers, not related managers and default manager in inherited situtations.

I've updated the patch to work with r17591 and the test should work correctly.
But the manager's get uses Manager.get_queryset() now and I'm not sure if returning a Manager instance (rel_mgr.db_manager(db)) instead of a Queryset (rel_mgr.using(db)) is acceptable.

'But the manager's get uses Manager.get_queryset() now and I'm not sure if returning a Manager instance (rel_mgr.db_manager(db)) instead of a Queryset (rel_mgr.using(db)) is acceptable'.
I am not sure if correctly understood this comment. I am not suggesting any change in Manager.get and of course returning Manager instance instead of queryset will be a wrong decision.
The change is required in get function of class ReverseSingleRelatedObjectDescriptor.
# If the related manager indicates that it should be used for # related fields, respect that. rel_mgr = self.field.rel.to._default_manager db = router.db_for_read(self.field.rel.to, instance=instance) if getattr(rel_mgr, 'use_for_related_fields', False): rel_obj = rel_mgr.using(db).get(**params) else: rel_obj = QuerySet(self.field.rel.to).using(db).get(**params)
Check the line,
rel_obj = rel_mgr.using(db).get(**params).
Assume that rel_mgr is a 'custom manager' derived from model.Manager and it overrides get function. In such cases, the custom Manager's derived get function will not get called. Because using(db) will return a queryset while rel_mgr.db_manager(db) will return a 'Manager'. Logically rel_mgr.db_manager(db).get() makes more sense to me. Also I think changes passes all the existing test cases as well. ReverseSingleRelatedObjectDescriptor.get function is still returning an object and there is no change in model.Manager.get() function.

- Patch needs improvement set
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from assigned to closed
Replying to nitinbhide@…:
Check the line,
rel_obj = rel_mgr.using(db).get(**params).
This line of code no longer exists in trunk Django, the code has been rearranged in a way that makes this change more difficult (ReverseSingleRelatedObjectDescriptor now has a get_query_set method, which would have to be changed to get_manager).
I'm not convinced that it's reasonable to even expect the related manager's get() method to be called here; get() is one of the many Manager methods that is simply a pass-through to QuerySet, and I think it would be a mistake for Django to try to start providing guarantees of when the pass-through Manager method is called vs the same method on the Manager's queryset. If you want to override reliably, you need to override the lower-level get_query_set method on the Manager and provide a custom QuerySet class with your get functionality.
Closing wontfix.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Not even 45 seconds into his Sunday afternoon session in front of the media here, long enough for Brandon Meriweather to have fielded the obligatory softball questions about what agent represents him and how his height and weight checked out, the University of Miami safety was asked about his role in the infamous brawl last season with players from Florida International University.
Meriweather, who had been coaxed to the microphone by NFL public relations officials and obviously felt a few minutes with reporters might be a fairly benign undertaking, cringed. He shifted his feet. He paused awkwardly, as if he hadn't heard the question, and finally offered a series of non sequiturs in an effort to explain his unfortunate action in an incident in which he is seen on videotape stomping on FIU players.
To his credit, Meriweather, one of the top safety prospects in the 2007 draft -- although he is likely to be hurt some by his lack of size and by one of the ugliest on-field incidents in recent years -- did his best to address the barrage of questions. When he finally stepped down from the podium, Meriweather breathed a deep sigh and smiled wanly at his NFL handler.
"That was tough," Meriweather acknowledged. "But I guess I better get used to it."
Indeed, for an event originally designed two decades ago to test the physical qualities of draft-eligible players, the annual NFL combine has become an inquisition of sorts for those who attend. Almost as important now as the physical exams that players endure, just as key as all the on-field testing, is the interview process.
In fact, because so few of the surefire first-round choices complete the full battery of tests on the field anymore, many personnel directors have come to believe in recent years that the bigger benefit gleaned from the combine is the time spent eyeballing prospects during the individual interview process.
As critical as it is to see how quick a player is in the 40-yard sprint, it's nearly as essential to gauge how quick-witted a prospect is when cross-examined for 15-20 minutes in the individual interviews that have become such a key part of the weeklong combine.
Because of the volume of players at the combine, where there are 320-plus prospects every year, teams are budgeted only 15 minutes with any player they request for an interview. That is barely enough time, it seems, to shake hands and make eye contact, let alone plumb the depths of a guy's psyche. Yet even such a short interview is considered critical now with teams investing millions of dollars in a player.
There aren't many players, of course, whose indiscretions are as public as those of Meriweather, who represents the extreme. But franchises work harder now to identify prospects whose psychological makeup could deem them risky selections.
There are tools, such as the much publicized Wonderlic test and other team-administered evaluations, that aid in the process. And different clubs, with the help of team-retained psychologists, have developed questions asked of nearly every prospect to help identify players with potential problems.
"Over the last several years," said Atlanta general manager Rich McKay, "it seems like the individual interview has become a bigger and more important piece of the puzzle. This kind of stuff has been part of the corporate hiring process for years, so why not us? As far as the combine, well, we used to be caught up in whether a kid ran or not, on getting all of the numbers on him. But getting to know a guy off the field is pretty key, too."
In fact, the interview has become so important that players now train for that element of the combine the way they once did for the 40-yard sprint, the long jump or the bench press.
Longtime personnel man Ken Herock, who worked more than 30 years evaluating players for NFL teams, now prepares players for what to expect in the interview process. Herock doesn't so much coach the prospects, although some of his former NFL colleagues feel his clients get a little too much rehearsal, as he tutors them on stressing the positives of their careers. An old-line straight shooter, Herock instructs players to hide nothing, because teams do enough background checks now to know the answers to most of their questions even before they ask them.
"The teams anymore, they all know a con man when they [encounter] one," Herock said. "So the best thing you can be is direct with them. The interview process is probably the one area where the evaluation of players has really undergone a change, where everyone has gotten smarter and gotten better."
There is little doubt that physical talent is still the prime indicator of success in the NFL, but teams have determined that character counts, too. Because of that, the interviews at the combine have taken on exponential significance over the last five or six years.
"We're all finding out," said Houston general manager Rick Smith, "that character can make a difference in a game or two every year. And finding out about character starts right here with the [combine] interviews."

Occupy's Success Will Take a Lifetime
An organizer's perspective on the need for continued efforts.
'Without a clear, disciplined and democratic process that allows people from all walks of life to meaningfully participate, we can't develop and sustain leaders over time.'
For In These Times' December 2013 cover feature, "Generation Hopeless?", the magazine asked a number of politically savvy people, younger and older, to respond to an essay by 22-year-old Occupy activist Matthew Richards in which he grapples with what the movement meant and whether Occupy's unfulfilled promises are a lost cause or the seeds of the different world whose promise he glimpsed two years ago. Here is Nick Espinosa's response:
Occupy Wall Street brought previously siloed issues under a big tent and sowed the seeds of revolutionary change that have yet to bear fruit. Richards is wrong when he denies that the movement's lack of formal structure was a cause of its demise. And I couldn't disagree more with his idea that we just need to wait until conditions are more conducive to organizing.
There has never been a more opportune moment to fight for the world we need for our collective survival—but success will take a lifetime of committed and intentional work.
Attending General Assemblies every night for months convinced me that this "ultra democratic" method of decision-making made the movement inaccessible to those who could not afford to spend hours a day in meetings. This excluded the very constituencies most affected by the issues raised by the Occupy movement.
Without a clear, disciplined and democratic process that allows people from all walks of life to meaningfully participate, we can't develop and sustain leaders over time. With authentically democratic structures and coordinated strategy, the Occupy movement, like social movements throughout history, could have better sustained itself beyond the inevitable police repression it suffered.
We must maintain hope and continue the work the Occupy movement catalyzed. Not because something might just give at some point if we're lucky, but because with converging economic and ecological crises, our survival depends on our building democracy to exert control over our communities. With discipline, strategy and leadership development, we can counter corporate control and build a lasting movement to change the course of history.

Complications of Grief
Topic Overview
Post-traumatic stress disorder
People who experience a traumatic loss are at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an intense emotional and psychological response to a very disturbing or traumatic event, such as a rape, assault, natural disaster, accident, war, torture, or death. You can develop PTSD symptoms immediately following such an event. Or PTSD may develop months or even years later.
Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder may include:
- Persistent and painful re-experiencing of the event through dreams (nightmares) or while awake (flashbacks).
- Emotional numbness, or inability to feel or express emotions toward family, friends, and loved ones.
- Avoiding any reminders of the event.
- Being easily angered or aroused, "on edge," or easily startled (hyperarousal).
Counseling and medicines (such as antidepressants and antianxiety medicines) can be helpful for people who have post-traumatic stress disorder.
Complicated grief
Complicated grief may also be called persistent complex bereavement disorder, separation trauma, traumatic grief, or prolonged-acute grief.
Symptoms include:
- A preoccupation with the loved one.
- Excessive loneliness.
- Longing and yearning for the loved one.
- Difficulty doing everyday things without the loved one.
Complicated grief is different from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With PTSD, a person is anxious and fearful that the traumatic event that caused the loss will occur again. In complicated grief, anxiety results because the person is searching and yearning for his or her loved one.
If you or someone you know has symptoms of complicated grief, seek help from a professional counselor specializing in grief counseling.

At Booderee National Park, south-eastern Australia, the intensive control of the introduced red fox (Vulpes vulpes) resulted in a major increase in the abundance of a browsing macropod, the swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor). This has led to a major decrease in the abundance and biomass of a range of palatable plant species. Fox control has also started a trophic cascade that has resulted in a decline in the abundance of the greater glider (Petauroides volans) a folivorous arboreal marsupial, mediated either through increased predation by owls or increased competition with common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula). We identified five potential scenarios for managing the effects of over-abundant swamp wallabies on the ecosystem as a whole. These were (1) the present scenario of continued intensive fox control and four possible scenarios to redress the problem: (2) ceasing fox control; (3) intensive fox control and intensive wallaby control; (4) introducing dingoes and ceasing fox control; and (5) introducing dingoes and maintaining fox control. We used an ecosystem modelling approach based on a fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) to predict relative estimates of abundance for each scenario for a wide range of taxa in the Booderee National Park ecosystem likely to be affected by each scenario. We addressed uncertainty in our knowledge of the interactions between species by creating alternative models of the system by removing one or more of the uncertain links between species and varying the strength of the remaining interactions in the FCM and aggregated predictions from 100,000 models to estimate the effect of uncertainty on the predictions from our FCM model. In comparison with the current scenario of intensive fox control, scenario 3 had the greatest likelihood of improving the status of palatable plants. Scenarios 2 and 4 reduced the abundance of a range of medium-sized mammals but improved the status of greater gliders, whereas the predicted effects of scenario 5 were uncertain. The FCM modelling approach developed here provided a valuable tool for managers to learn about the potential ecosystem wide effects of management actions while incorporating the likely effects of uncertain knowledge on system outcomes.

Normally, when I go to my website Spun Stories, the Dashboard bar appears in the upper left corner. But this hasn't happened recently. In order to edit, I have to type in spunstories.com/wp-admin.
The last straw happened about 30 minutes ago, when I wanted to preview an unpublished post and was denied access.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding - Topic Overview
Let your doctor know if you have abnormal uterine bleeding. There are many ways to help treat it. Some are meant to return the menstrual cycle to normal. Others are used to reduce bleeding or to stop monthly periods. Each treatment works for some women but not others. Treatments include:
- Hormones, such as a progestin pill or daily birth control pill (progestin and estrogen). These hormones help control the menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding and cramping.
- Use of the levonorgestrel IUD, which releases a progesterone-like hormone into the uterus. This reduces bleeding while preventing pregnancy.
- Hysteroscopy to remove polyps or fibroids.
- Surgery, such as endometrial ablation or hysterectomy, when other treatments do not work.
If you also have menstrual pain or heavy bleeding, you can take regular doses of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen.
In some cases, doctors use watchful waiting, or a wait-and-see approach. It may be okay for a teen or for a woman nearing menopause. Some teens have times of irregular vaginal bleeding. This usually gets better over time as hormone levels even out. Women in menopause can expect their periods to stop. They may choose to wait and see if this happens before they try other treatments.

Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition - Playstation 3
A nuclear holocaust has turned Washington, D.C., into a radioactive wasteland.

Looking for answers, you begin a journey into the great unknown -- a test of survival in an inhospitable environment.

Developed by the team behind the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and featuring the same graphics engine, Fallout 3 has you embarking on an assortment of quests while exploring, scavenging, and battling for your continued existence.

Original dA Logo Keychain by deviantWEARWatch
©2007-2016 deviantWEAR
You've probably given and received tons of llamas on deviantART. Now, you can take a llama with you everywhere you go with the new dA llama keychain! It has all the great features you would expect from a keychain (it holds keys) with none of the drawbacks commonly found on other keychains (they don't have llamas on them). Get your hooves on one today!
The pic is of the DA Logo Keychain and why is this setup as a print?
Ah, the first devWEAR I ever ordered (along with the Fella Plushie).

Uncharted territory: Todd Miller, Clark Rustand look back on unusual no-Sunday 2004 State Am finish
Rustand was making his first appearance in the State Am in '04 and wasn't given a second look as one of the players to beat. He was the No. 28 seed going into match play, and defeated medal runner-up Zach Johnson, now a successful pro on the Intermountain circuit, in the first round; former professional John Owen in the second round; and teenager Steele DeWald in the quarterfinals. Then he went up against defending champion Tommy Sharp. In perhaps the best-played match of the tournament, he won 2 and 1 on Saturday afternoon.
Miller had finished just one stroke out of medalist honors and beat Craig Woodward, Pete Stone and Ben Smuin to reach the semifinals against his college teammate, Clay Bingham. He breezed through that match 6 and 5 and was waiting to talk to Rustand when his match against Sharp concluded.
"He walked right up to me and let me know his intentions,'' Rustand recalls. "I was looking forward to playing him in the finals and it caught me off-guard. I was very surprised. On the range prior to the final match, we had joked about playing in the finals against each other. I was excited. It was going to be a fun battle, but also sort of casual because we knew each other and were friends.''
Miller said at the time and reiterated last week as he was driving to California with his family that he planned all along not to play on Sunday and would forfeit to his semifinal opponent if he made it that far. It was a decision he had made while on an LDS Church mission to Chile. However, going against his college teammate Bingham threw a wrench in the works.
"I'd always planned on giving the match to whoever I played in the semifinals,'' Miller said. "But the fact that I was playing Clay, who was one of my teammates, made it an awkward situation. I was planning on giving the semifinal match to whoever I was playing. That he was my teammate changed that, but I still wish I would have given him that match.''
Joe Watts was the Utah Golf Association executive director at the time and was caught off-guard by the whole thing.
"I didn't have any inkling it was going to happen,'' Watts says. "It was pretty much out of the clear blue.''
Watts, Rustand and Miller retreated to a small room in the Jeremy clubhouse along with UGA president Paul Hatch to discuss the situation. Although Rustand recalls Miller throwing out several options such as playing late Saturday afternoon and evening, or declaring the two co-champions, Watts remembers just one.
"He made the request to play it on Monday,'' he said. "We decided it was not proper to call all of our volunteers back and reschedule. I said, 'Clark are you going to be here tomorrow on the tee for the match?' and he said, 'Yes, I'll be here.' I turned to Todd and said, 'Are you going to be here tomorrow morning for the match?' and he said, 'No I won't be.' So I said, 'There's no reason for us to play it. Let's just announce it now.'''
Watts said the decision was nothing against Miller's religious beliefs, pointing out that six or seven of the nine UGA board members were active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as was Rustand.
A few minutes after Watts announced the decision on that Saturday afternoon, Rustand was awarded the large State Amateur trophy and for the first time in decades, no State Amateur final was played on Sunday.
"It was hard, but Todd was fine about it,'' says Watts now. "I respect Todd. He's really a wonderful young man.''
Still friends
All these years later, Miller can look back and acknowledge that he didn't handle the situation in 2004 as well as he could have.
He still doesn't play golf on Sundays, even though he's a professional and most professional events have Sunday play. He says he only plays in a tournament every November with friends and at his U.S. Open qualifying event in the spring.

What the fuck?
I am just not sure what to make of this posting at all.... is Condi going to endorse Obama?? Now THAT would make this a really interesting election year!
Yes they will. Wait'll Malkin gets a hold of this...
jesus, what the hell goes on at that church?? and here i thought i was so clever and original for calling her condoskeeza.
Hmm, an Obama/Rice ticket? I think I could be okay with that.
I think this is the most intelligent thing that woman has ever or will ever say.
But her record speaks for itself - she's a moron order-taker.
brandon @3:
jesus, what the hell goes on at that church?? and here i thought i was so clever and original for calling her condoskeeza.
It doesn't speak well for Obama that his pastor for 20 years talks like a Slog commenter.
A Slog commenter
That Rev. Wright is some piece of work...
Very interesting. Anyone else read the profile of Condi in The New York Review of Books? According to that excellent article, Rice has never been known for defending Black people in general, or becoming involved in civil rights battles of any kind.
From the article "It was obvious from Rice's many metamorphoses that her real ideology was not idealism or realism or defending the citadels of freedom, although she displayed elements of all of them. Her real ideology was succeeding."
It's very very telling that she is inserting herself in the conversation at this point. As if she too has given up on the race baiting and naked hatred of the Republican party. I'm looking forward to watching this one play out.
I don't think she was necessarily backing up Obama. However, she should have kept her mouth closed.
OMG! It's obvious that the reason she's brought up race for one of the first times is that she's wants to be McCain's VP. This woman barely talks about race and has said in the past that she didn't experience racism in Birmingham, AL. Sudden revelation? I don't think so.
Hernandez @8. Agreed.
Of everything I've learned about Barack Obama, by far the worst thing is his association with Rev. Wright. Obviously, Obama does not share Wright's views. Obviously, he and his family joined Wright's church to gain some street cred on the South Side of Chicago. I don't begrudge Obama a little insincerity in his choice of congregation, but he at least could have challenged his pastor in some way on occasion. The irony of this is that the most admirable aspect of Obama's biography is that he became a community organizer on the South Side and went on to set up roots there, even though he could have gone to much nicer places and done much more selfish things.
In the interest of balance, some good stuff about BHO.
In an interview with WNYC today, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois appeared to endorse Mayor Michael R. Bloombergs proposal for charging motorists for driving in Manhattan during peak times. I think Mayor Bloombergs proposal for congestion pricing is a thoughtful and innovative approach to the problem, Mr. Obama told Bob Hennelly of WNYC, in an interview that is scheduled to be broadcast during National Public Radios All Things Considered at 4 p.m. Mr. Obama said that revenue from congestion pricing should not replace federal financing for mass transit, WNYC said in a statement describing the interview.
From the Scranton Times-Tribune:
Mr. Obama said he would try to aid local plans for a passenger railroad from Scranton to metropolitan New York City.
You know, I am a big supporter of rail. Not only is it good for the environment, but it helps support a lot of communities that are sometimes left behind, he said. In my home state of Illinois, the rail system has been the lifeblood for a lot of rural and downstate communities. So its something I definitely want to look at; I want to expand our use of rail as a way to knit the national economy together. And I think a reinvestment in rail is long overdue.
"The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."
@12: that's all I'm saying. He can be angry, balck, and a preacher. But when he spouts off crack-pot theories, or calls people names from the pulpit, game over. Time for another church. Or a talking to. Did Obama ever confront him on these issues? Ask him why he would say these thigns? Plead with him to stop? Or just sit in the pews, on his hands?
My fear is that, like a normal politician, he did the latter, because it was more politically effective with his black base. So much for a different kind of politics.
When I wrote "we're" in the above comment I was being rhetorical. I didn't mean we like, say, me and my pal Bill Kristol going over there and doing the fighting. No, NO ,NO! We are too special. I meant we as in let the poor people fight and die and be maimed. There are too many of them anyway. Do you know how much taxes, I a nationally known columnist making bunches of money have to pay to support these breeders? Of course you don't! You are a slogger! You are here to learn how to think and what sort of attitude to have from ME!
eh, on one hand i'm very glad she spoke up. it's a message that needs to be heard. coming from a repug would only seem to help enforce the validity of obama's take on race relations.
on the other hand, it might harm his chances somewhat. it could reinforce the flawed by often believed idea that african-americans would put race above politics. if it started to look like blacks were supporting obama because he's black recently, this only reinforces that idea. and it is an idea that many rural whites seem uncomfortable with.
Instead of watching fox news and youtube for your info on this subject why don't you read the speeches in there entirety. Most of this shit is being printed out of context. Oh shit! What am I saying? You are just a dumbass slogger here to learn what to say and think and be entertained. As you were slogger!
Eh... Wright doesn't help his case but I'm less depressed than I was. Basically it's going to be trotted out A LOT. It will be decisive with folks who wouldn't vote for him anyway.
But if he runs a strong campaign otherwise people are going to ask themselves, am I going to vote against him just because of his pastor? I think it's surmountable.
Of course personally I don't care. I think Wright made some good points and I think the backlash against Obama has been unjust. (I changed that from unfair, because well, all's fair in war.)
Zing! Man, that Reverend is one sharp political satirist.
@18: Exactly how can you put "Condoskeeza" in any sort of context that might make Wright come off as something other than an idiot?
She's setting up for her run for VP on the GOP ticket in 2012 after the neocons are sent into the wilderness for the next 40 years this year.
As probably one of the few blacks on here, let me inform the majority about what blacks think of Condi. Does anyone remember the Dave Chapelle skit where they're having the Racial Draft and Condi gets sent over to Whites? Well there's a reason for that, she's publically denounced affirmative action, didn't stand up for Colin Powell when she probably knew that the intelligence given to him about Iraq wasn't legitimate, and to make matters worse, while hundreds of people, most of them black, were drowning in New Orleans, she was in NYC shoe shopping and attending Broadway shoes and didn't give a damn about them (http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=24885). I was shocked when I heard her publically say in 2000 that she was against affirmative action. Clearly, she has benefitted from it even though she is brilliant as hell. Without affirmative action in place from the 60s to now, do you think a talented, extremely intelligent, and ambitious black woman as herself would be in such a position as she is in today? She's selfish in the sense that she doesn't want to see minorities or women with the same attributes as her triumph through the privileged WASP male society and workplace.
Now for Wright to say that about her, I don't disagree with him at all. To my friends, black and white alike, I call her Auntie Tom. Clearly, Condi and Clarence "Uncle" Thomas don't care about black people at all and know the black community rejects them because of this.
actually, his pastor is talking like LeRoi Jones a.k.a. Amiri Baraka, playing on a line from his poem "Somebody Blew Up America:"
"Who know what kind of Skeeza is a Condoleeza."
Well, that settles it. I'm not voting Jeremiah Wright for president, should he ever run.
every time i hear more useless bullshit about this random preacher guy, i can't help but think about this:
"Obama: I really cant believe this shit. All this bullshit just because an atheist cant get elected to so much as a fucking school board in this country.
Wright: Atheist?
Obama: Youre damn right Im an atheist, you dumb motherfucker. But oh, I gotta go into politics, so I gotta go to some stupid church, pretend Im a goddamn simpleton for the stupid voters. So hell, what church do I go to, right? The big one! The one all my constituents go to. After all, theyre all bullshit, what possible difference could it make? Shit. Its bad enough people are calling me a Muslimnow I gotta deal with this Professor Griff bullshit?"
@11: Agreed. She is going for VP slot. Brilliant really, since she has lots of cred with the GOP, she can pull the african american vote away from Obama slightly, and she is historic in that she is a woman and she is a minority. BAM.
She also has more experience than Obama, so who knows how people in the middle will vote. Plenty of them still like McCain...and Condi doesn't go to a "american hating' chuch (note, I don't think that, but that is what the press will dub it no doubt.)
more experience than obama? really? you mean like when she pushed a document titled "osama bin laden plans major attack on US" from one side of her desk to the other in august '01? is that the "experience" you're referring to? as oprah said, "if you're not accountable for the mistakes you've made, your experience don't mean shit." i'm paraphrasing a bit here, but you get the idea.
condi should have been FIRED, but instead she got a promotion. she's not very widely respected in the GOP -- and neither is mccain -- so i really don't think she's going to be his choice for VP. he needs to shore up his credibility with the base, and in that regard she would be one of his worst choices.
apres_moi, what do you think of condi now that she's backed wright's description of the african-american experience a bit?
your writing seems to be a big vent against her. to apply this to the topic, i would guess you are saying her gesture means nothing because you believe she clearly has put her own position, or her own political beliefs, above her loyalty to her race.
i guess i think you can provide a perspective here that i would like to hear more of...
oh, as a VP... interesting. i think she would make a good repub VP. and from a dem perspective, there are certainly worse choices. it is long overdo that we had a minority pres or vp. that doesn't change just because of party affiliation, as long as they are qualified. as a repub, she seems qualified.
how did skeeza back up wright @ all? i guess she aknowledged that slavery happened but i think we all came to a consensus on that one.
she did recognize the import of obama's speech and thats cool.
but no, condi's g-pass got stamped long ago. she could tell me she likes my outfit but i sure as hell wouldn't give her my seat on the bus.
@23 - I missed that, but I did like the take on Condi by a certain Oregon-based Cartoon Network late nite show about black kids sent to live with their grandpa.

Maidana DUCKS Humberto Soto; Maidana refuses to defend against #1 mandatory-Soto
By Dan Ambrose: WBA light welterweight champion Marcos Maidana has reportedly refused an offer from his promoter Richard Schaefer to defend his title against his number #1 contender Humberto Soto on November 26th on the same card as the Adrien Broner vs. TBA fight.
Maidana reportedly "wasn't happy with the money" offered to him for the fight. Maidana instead will take on his mandatory challenger Paul McCloskey, who recently defeated Breidis Prescott by a controversial 12 round decision in McCloskey's home city of Belfast, Ireland.
McCloskey, who can't punch, and isn't as skilled as Soto, would seem to be the easier option for Maidana compared to Soto. Both fights are tough options for Maidana in different ways.
Soto has a lot more technical skills than Maidana and is a better inside fighter than him. It would come down to whether or not Maidana could knock him out, which is highly doubtful because Soto has a great chin.
I could see Maidana losing to Soto quite easily. McCloskey will make Maidana miss all night and cause him a lot of problems with his defense. However, if McCloskey goes after Maidana the way that he did against Prescott in the second part of his fight with him, Maidana will give McCloskey a beating.
Maidana is a lot more sturdy than Prescott, and there's no way that McCloskey could attack Maidana the way he did Prescott without taking awful punishment.
McCloskey will have to literally run the entire 12 rounds to escape with any kind of win and even that would be a huge stretch because he won't get a win outside of Ireland by running the entire fight.
McCloskey will have to take the fight to Maidana and that would be an insane move for him. Maidana will wreck McCloskey's world if he tries to exchange with him.

Yeah sure, like the way Marquez "ducked" Soto last year.
If duck was meant as having bigger and better names to fight and making more money, than yeah, it's a duck.

They said the money was too low. Also, when Guerrero fell out, GBP offered Soto and Maidana agreed, but Soto turned him down, is that ducking too?

McLeansboro Illinois Golf Courses
|McLeansboro Golf Club
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Fairlakes Golf Course -- Needs some work...
|Review by: Skunk drunk with a wood
|Staff is great, but the food end is lacking. Our event called for a preplanned meal and they were out of hotdog buns, certain pizzas and Orange Juice (no screwdrivers!). It took over an hour for one of their employees to go to the store to buy some. This was early on, so they can't say we bought them out. The golf course and friendly bartender (Molly) makes the pain bearable. It may be a good thing to call ahead and make sure they have food.

There are alternatives to fossil fuel use
Editor's note: The following letter is in response to an OpEd piece by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers that was published in the Dec. 15, 2013 issue of the Tri-City Herald
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Tri-City Herald, Dec. 15, p. C1) writes that to get jobs we need to promote economic certainty, champion bipartisan compromise, and reduce regulations.
The fossil fuel industry, and politicians who support it, say that without coal, oil, and natural gas, our economy will collapse.
But we know we can't keep polluting our atmosphere with fossil fuels without causing a destabilized climate system (please see http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0081648).
The climate is all of our responsibility and needs bipartisan support now to stabilize it. How?
We could meet the entire world's energy needs with renewable sources in 20 years.
Renewables will provide more and higher paying jobs with more diverse opportunities. This is because direct job creation for oil and natural gas is 0.8 jobs per $1 million in output, and coal's is 1.9 jobs per $1 million in output. Compare that to building the smart grid (4.3 jobs per $1 million), wind (4.6), mass transit services (11), solar (5.4) and biomass power generation (7.4), and building retrofits for energy efficiency (7).
If we put a gradually increasing fee on carbon with a dividend returned 100 percent to American households, we could make the transition to a "green" economy rapidly and reduce our emissions without restoring to government regulations.
The fee's predictability will send a clear market signal to promote private investment in alternative energy projects, create millions of jobs, and economic certainty. Current subsidies to the fossil-fuel industry would be eliminated, leveling the playing field for the clean-energy industry to compete. To work domestically and on an international scale, an effective border tax adjustment will be necessary.
Please contact your state and federal representatives and senators and urge them to enact a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend.

love it! got it cheap here, amazing. i have oily skin and my previous moisturizer made my skin feel even more oily and heavy. this is light but potent, and smells amazing!
not to heavy
Posted by SonyaWorley on Dec 02, 2007
this product feels so good on your face not to heavy just right, feels very healing
it's good, and it's natural!
Posted by Reviewer2608917 on Dec 19, 2008
awesome that it has an spf. not too greasy. i am using this with the oily skin toner and facewash (the combination/oily ones were not controlling my acne/oil).
Posted by Silvijalilu on Mar 06, 2013
I like this product!
too oily
Posted by Reviewer1182397 on Jun 13, 2010
it used to be meant for combination/oily skin, but is quite oily itself. I found it too greasy even when using as a night cream. However, it leaves the skin pretty smooth.
So so
Posted by Reviewer2471858 on Feb 23, 2011
Smells really bad
Posted by Reviewer2448013 on Feb 04, 2009
The cleanser in this combination line is perfect for my skin. This moisturizer has a very strong fragrance that I find overwhelming and unpleasant. It also seems that it is not replenishing or revitalizing my skin. Not working for me!

A woman's beauty can be addictive.
Few directors can shoot pretty women as prettily as Michael Ninn, especially in solo scenes. These lovelies play with themselves against stark backdrops that highlight their beauty and sensuality.
In most scenes the girl talks to the viewer, urging him to fuck her. Jana Jordan is really good at this. Some of the scenes are wordless — just the girl delivering the solo goods — but all of these ladies really do deliver. Red-haired Faye Reagan's scene is particularly beautiful and sensual. Another highlight is Jennifer Dark, a dirty talk all-star who also looks gorgeous and masturbates with orgasmic gusto.

Reviews for Baked Ziti with Fresh Tomatoes
"I'm giving 5 stars because of how good this is, that it's easily adaptable to what one has on hand and the fact that I will make this over and over again.I used chicken breast instead of ground beef because that's what I had. I used 6 garden tomatoes because I didn't grow Romas. I reluctantly omitted the Parmesan cheese because I didn't have any.I read previous comments and added dried garlic to the meat/onion mixture. Also, I only added 1tsp of salt and it was perfect. I can see why others would comment that as written, the above recipe is too salty.. I have a spice called Italian seasoning and I added a few turns of the grinder as well. I also added 1 tsp of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.I don't own a Dutch oven so a big soup pot that I use for chili and stews worked fine.Otherwise, I made it as written. I will definitely make this again, in fact it was requested! I will use Italian sausage next time because that sounds fantastic!"
"I didn't have 15 tomatoes, I had 2. I used those, one 15oz can organic tomato sauce and one can of diced tomatoes. I also added 2 large minced garlic cloves to the beef and onion. It was very good. As mentioned, it is salty - but we like salty - if you don't I'd cut back on what is recommended."
"Tomatoes and pasta was good. The meat and salt together was a little too salty. Next time I'd either half the salt or take it out altogether"
"This was good after I anticipated the errors in this recipe and fixed them ahead of time. With this much acid, you need sugar. I added a tsp of sugar and Italian seasoning in addition to the basil. Also, I used canned diced tomatoes. Who has time to peel, chop & deseed tomatoes? Suppose if I had a garden this would be a good way to use my tomatoes."
"I really enjoyed this recipe and will be adding this to my recipe box. I did not change anything in the recipe."
"While fresh tomatoes are delicious, if you are pressed for time you can use drained canned tomatoes. Also I substituted sausage which added a little kick to it. It was delicious."
"Made this with Italian Sausage and Burpee's Fresh Salsa that I froze last fall. Granddaughter gave 5 stars. I will make it this summer when I have fresh tomatoes. Uf Dah!"
"FYI, if you brown the meat until there is some caramelization and deglaze the pan with some red wine, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, you will have a richer flavored sauce. Use fresh herbs, oregano and basil, and you will be able to elevate this recipe from High School cafeteria style to something that will please a more sophisticated palate."
"I used home canned tomatoes."
"This is an incredible dish. We season up the beef a bit more with onion powder, italian seasoning and some garlic powder to taste. I try and make this once a month!"

I'm using the blueprint theme and wp-e-commerce for an online store I'm trying to put together. Currently, I have the nav bar displaying the following pages along the top:
Home | Artists | Store | Contact
Is there a plugin or hack that, if a person clicks on the Store link the nav bar dislays different links such as:
Home | Store | Checkout | Your Account
Once they clicked Home they would go back to the normal nav bar layout. Hopefully what I'm describing makes sense. The reason I would like to do this is because currently, some of the subpages like Checkout and Your Account don't display even when you click on store. I'd prefer that they're only visible when you click on the Store page.

Brookdale Glendale
Formerly: Emeritus at Casa Glendale
Glendale, CA 91206
(include area code)
- Assisted Living
Our Community
Person-Centered Assisted Living in Glendale, CA
Brookdale Glendale is a premier southern California Assisted Living community, providing care to seniors and their families from Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and the neighborhoods of northeast Los Angeles. We are regarded among the best senior communities in this region because of our relationships with families who entrust us with the care of their loved ones.
We are located in the heart of Glendale on a beautiful cul-de-sac that includes a park. Brookdale Glendale is easily reached by the 134 Ventura Freeway, Interstate 5, and the Interstate 2 Glendale Freeway.
Doctor's offices, a library, post office, shops, restaurants, the Norton Simon Museum and the Gene Autry Museum are close to our campus, and Dodger Stadium is just a short drive away. The American Shopping Center is conveniently near, and we are within walking distance of Whole Foods and Vons.
Since we are only eight miles from Los Angeles, we enjoy easy access to all the cultural and recreational options available in a great metropolitan city.
We Understand
We understand your concern about the health and safety of the senior in your life. You worry that they may not take their medications properly, suffer a serious fall, or experience a serious health emergency with no one around. You feel stressed from the time demands of looking after your loved one, and guilt for not doing more.
We also understand the emotional turmoil going on within the senior you care for. They love their house and all the things they have filled it with over the years. They also fear the unknown, and may mistakenly associate an Assisted Living apartment community with a nursing home.
We Balance Independence With Assistance
Your senior doesn't have to choose between independence or assistance. Brookdale Glendale is a community of apartment homes where they can have both … the independence of a private home, plus whatever type of supportive aid they need to perform daily tasks and maintain health.
Live With Neighbors Like You
If you remember your bygone days in a college dormitory or at summer camp, you recall the fun of living with people your own age who shared your interests and life experiences. You sat together in the cafeteria or living room, where you could play card games, board games, tell stories, share secrets and talk for hours. At Brookdale Glendale, we recreate that fun communal experience of living with a family of friends.

I wore a longjohn wetsuit, which certainly helped. Though, I do swim in the proper horizontal position without it. I attribute it more to the fact that I have pretty good upper body strength. Where my friend, who knows and taught me proper technique, would get tired over an hours worth of swimming I felt that I could swim 2+ and feel invigorated after. Our one, open water practice swim the week before was really confidence boosting aswell. I thought I could swim all day in the wetsuit.

The Reds face an uphill task to continue in the competition as they head into the second leg of their last-32 clash with Zenit St Petersburg at Anfield trailing 2-0 on aggregate.
But the five-times champions of the continent have produced many of their most celebrated European victories under the Anfield floodlights and with the crowd at their most passionate, and Lucas wants to see it again.
Echoing similar rallying cries by team-mates Steven Gerrard and Martin Skrtel, the Brazilian said: "It is a competition we always wanted to do well in.
"We always know on these special European nights at Anfield what the crowd give to us.
"It will be an important game for us this season. We are really positive and believe we can get through the next stage.
"Hopefully the crowd will give us a special night and we will play well and get through. The crowd will definitely be our 12th player."

oh can it be any more gross! I'll choose watever competitor that doesn't make me smell my future dog's ass please.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the plugin, it's very useful.
I was wondering if there's any way I can modify the plugin code so that I don't need to modify my site's theme?
Normally I would just create a child-theme and modify the templates as outlined in the plugin's instructions, however I've recently switched to the NomNom theme, which is a child-theme of TwentyEleven.
Since it's not possible to create a child-of-a-child-theme, this means that when NomNom is updated, the changes to the template files are wiped out.
One of the things NomNom provides is a file called custom-functions.php which is left intact after a theme upgrade, and is where you'd normally place anything that would go in functions.php, so I thought I might try adding filters in custom-functions.php to catch anything author related and output the Co-Author Plus equivalents instead.
I've tried adding a filter to return coauthors() when get_the_author() is called, however it had no effect. When I added the filter to the_author() instead, I ended up in recursive loops.
I'm still pretty new to WordPress, though not to PHP, so I think it's possible I'm adding the filter to the wrong hook.
Is it possible to use Co-Authors Plus via filters?
Many thanks,

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for any help.
I was just wondering if data thrown into the database with
wp_insert_post() and
add_post_meta was automatically validated/sanitized by WordPress.
I ask because I have been trying to write some sanitation/validation functions before putting my data into each function, but came across the following today:
$wpdb->insert( $table, (array) $data )
$data should be unescaped (the function will escape them for you). Keys are columns, Values are values.
To me it seems to imply that WordPress automatically validates/sanitizes data before putting it into the database, however I don't really understand what it says all that well...
Thank you again
