Georg Büchner holds a unique place in the German-speaking literary scene of the 19th century and beyond. When he died at age 23, he had been active as a revolutionary in his homeland of Hesse and forced to flee into exile, first in France and later in Switzerland. The author of two acclaimed scientific texts, he had received a doctorate from Zurich University, where he embarked on a prestigious academic career shortly before his death. He left behind three dramas and a narrative text, also a large corpus of philosophical writings predominantly on Descartes and Spinoza: perceptive critiques of early Rationalist thought. His poetic oeuvre by far eclipsed in its originality most of the contemporary literary production. Although the …

The couple "is thrilled to announce the arrival of their son, Beckett O'Brien," a statement says. The baby boy was born Wednesday in New York City at 8:27 p.m., and weighed in at 8 lbs., 4 oz.
"Mother, baby and father are all well," according to the statement released by NBC.
This is the second child for the 42-year-old comedian and his wife, who turns 35 on Saturday. Their daughter Neve was born Oct. 14, 2003.
"Being a dad is the greatest, except for assembling things," said the talk show host. "I remember my father trying to tighten a bolt and hurting his fingers. That's what I'm doing now – except I break (the toy) before she even gets to play with it."

« Writing - Part One - Method | Pygame: Getting started »
Writing - Part Two - Finding the Time
6 February 2012
Katie, I get asked every now and then, Where do you find the time to write?
I have to admit, I love that question. It makes me feel like a god-damned Wonder Woman. Why yes, I work full time, go to conferences, raise two kids, attend to my SO+, and write a book. What did you do last weekend?
There's another side my situation, though, that I don't often share. I love video games. I cannot live without seeing the latest My Little Pony or Dowton Abbey. I give a lot of money to Comixology every month. I read books filled with explosions and sex and improbable complications and I often lose myself in them for hours and hours. In short, I'm a distractable lay-about, too.
Obviously, though, I found the time to write about something that I'm excited about. So, how did I do it?
In no particular order, we all have priorities:
- Ourselves
- Our kids
- Our spouse
- Other random relatives
- Our friends
- Our job
- Other organizations
If you want to write, you're going to have to start evaluating those priorities. There are things on that list that, giving up, would cost you quality of life. Do you really want to spend less time with your kids? Do you want to lose date night? Are you ready to call your gaming group quits? Will you deprive yourself of anything pleasurable? Will you quit your job? You probably shouldn't, lest you become some bitter shut-in who can only ponder about the good life, rather than live it.
There are, however, some things implied on that list that you can give up without pain. Writing a book gives you the best excuse ever to get out of a baby shower. It works for getting off the 'volunteer to make cupcakes' list, too. You don't want to slack at your job, but maybe you could write on your lunch break instead of eating out, and shave a few inches off of your waist. The kids could so use an earlier bedtime. You know what? That one show you really liked last season is just crap this season? Maybe you can drop it.
Saying no
I started saying no a lot more when I started writing. No, I'm not killing myself to make sure my daughter has a birthday party when she'd already had two celebrations in her honor. No, I'm not going to organize a weekly Python meeting, and no, even the monthly one will not have presenters or a rented out space. You'll drink your coffee and like it. No, I'm not killing myself to make dinner for friends when they come over. Indian takeout will not kill them. No, leftovers will not kill the kids. No no no.
My life isn't lessened by cutting the above out of my life. I get more time, and I now have more time to apply to the book and less time spent doing something that would have annoyed the hell out of me in the first place.
Every day
Go read my last post. You're going to have to write every day, not only because it gives you better momentum, but because you're not going to be able to lock yourself away for huge blocks of time. Locking a person in a room is what they do to crazy people. You do not want to be a crazy person. That's what you'll become though, after the third weekend of barricading yourself in the bedroom with your laptop, while the world beckons from the window (or Twitter, if you forgot to block it while in your Fortress of Solitude).
I've seen the people who wrote a book by locking themselves away for months at a time. There's a look in their eye that says 'keep me away from sharp things.' Really.
Finding the small blocks of time is easier, anyway. I was able to write on Thanksgiving and Christmas, two crazy busy days. Both days had small respites in the morning, while I was drinking my coffee, during which I could bang out a few words. I was even able to find time when my family went on a cruise. I can easily make the kids go away for a half-hour by turning on their favorite show. I don't know how I'd shut off the world for a whole weekend. It's like daring the universe to throw obligations at me.
I admit, when I decided to write a book, I just announced it to the family as a thing I was going to do, hell or high-water. That probably wasn't wise, but I'm lucky in that they're very supportive, and used to me doing things like this.
Still, even though I was the one doing all the writing, they were still going to end up paying for my new obsession. It was uncertain how much time I would need in order to write, and that was time that was being taken from helping to run a household, hang out with the family, or go do cool stuff.
It took us a while, but we finally came to a system that works: I don't go into crazy-write-all-day mode, and they understand if I have to take a half-hour to write without being disturbed. Looking back, I wish we'd just laid this out explicitly before I set a single word to paper.
Had they not been on board, I would have had to find my chunks of time when they're not around, like my work lunch or extremely early in the morning. Not impossible, but having the freedom to write when I want has made this project a lot easier.
Start saying no. Find small chunks of time. Get your loved ones on board. Write every day.

As the Season 8 premiere of "Doctor Who" inches closer, new star Peter Capaldi is opening up more and more about his portrayal of the Doctor.
Capaldi spoke to Marie Clare UK (via Radio Times) about his version of the iconic character, and continues to confirm just how different it's going to be.
"He's definitely not boyfriend material, because that's not appropriate," Capaldi tells the magazine. "He's less user-friendly [than David Tennant]; he's not a walk in the park. The relationship with Clara is one of responsibility and debt and affection.
"[Eleventh Doctor] Matt [Smith] and David are much younger than me, much more handsome. And that's what people have decided they want to take from it. I don't think that will be happening for me. I don't expect to be anyone's heartthrob."
In fact, he's not sure exactly what the reaction to his Doctor will be. "I don't know if people will like me or not; or if the show will be more successful or less successful," he says. "But no matter what happens, someone somewhere will love me — I'll be someone's Doctor. Even if everyone else hates me."
You'll have the chance to decide for yourself what side of the line you fall on when "Doctor Who" Season 8 premieres Saturday, Aug. 23, on BBC America.

Newsletters have been part of the publishing industry since Huntington Whaley's Whaley-Eaton American Letter on business began in 1918. Today the U.S. is inundated with 6,000 newsletters, from AAAM Quarterly, the journal of the American Association for Automotive Medicine, to Zins Weekly News Bulletin, issued by the Zionist Organization of America. Most of these are promotional throw-aways. But there are also more than 1,500 subscription newsletters. The reason: They contain specialized material rarely found in a daily newspaper or magazine, and consumers pay as much as $2,691 a year for it (the rate for the D.C.-based Daily Report for Executives). Here's a sample of what you might be missing.
The APBA Journal serves those who play a series of table games that reflect real-life performances in pro sports. (What APBA stands for is never explained; it is the secret of APBA Game Company founder J. Richard Seitz.) The monthly ($7.50 per year) mostly features analysis of the games' rules and readers' reports on their results. Stan Seidel of Topeka wrote recently that in his replay of the 1974 American League baseball season, Rod Carew hit .373 instead of the .364 he hit in real life. But there are also news stories. During the crisis at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, near the game company's offices in Lancaster, Pa., the Journal ran a straight-faced article on APBA's plans for evacuating in case of disaster and proudly detailed Seitz's plans to stay till the last milliroentgen to protect his mailing lists.
The Contest News-Letter informs contest-crazed Americans what's to be won each month, with rules, regulations and tips (e.g, it's good form to write thank-you notes to contest sponsors after you win). In the Johnnie Walker Black sweepstakes of 1977 all three prizes went to CN-L readers, and first prize was $40,000. The newsletter also exposes swindlers who tell contestants they have won valuable prizes but must send money to claim them. Subscriptions run $12.
The Joyer Travel Report, started in 1969, reviews packaged tours, gives the latest on health hazards (typhoid, drinkability of the water, men-of-war on the beach) and clarifies all those complicated discounts on plane fares and rent-a-cars. Joyer also has a section for those who want to swap homes. $29 for 12 monthly issues.
The Kiplinger Washington Letter, first published in 1923, is the most popular U.S. newsletter, with weekly circulation of 300,000 (at $42 a year). Its concise underlined and dotted paragraphs—which sometimes seem to ask, "Is this simplistic enough for you dummies?"—offer updates on current events, trends and business.
The Kovels on Antiques and Collectables is written by Ralph and Terry Kovel, the Will and Ariel Durant of old stuff. Their $20-a-year monthly tells what's on the market, how much it's worth and what the latest auction results are. If you have any around, a Tiffany spider-web lamp just sold for $150,000 and a 1936 set of Mickey Mouse dishes, made in Japan, would fetch $200.
Orben's Current Comedy, published bimonthly by Bob Orben (he ghosted gags for Red Skelton, Jack Paar, Dick Gregory and Richard Nixon), is filled with one-liners—trite and otherwise—for speakers. "I don't care what the chemistry books say; the principal by-product of petroleum is poverty." Or, "I'm for nostalgia but registering for the draft is ridiculous." If you send in $48, Orben will say, "Take this newsletter—please."
Refundle Bundle teaches its 31,000 subscribers to cash in on coupons, box tops and labels companies use to entice consumers. "I'm able to save 50 percent of my shopping bill each year," contends Susan Samtur, publisher of the monthly. Even if you have to eat a couple of pounds of macaroni a day to profit from the coupons, Samtur's subscription rate is only $9.
The Tab Report, a new monthly published by self-styled sociologist Dennis Sobin, is devoted to commercial sex. For $48 a year, it offers legal information, reports on trends in prostitution, massage parlors and adult book stores, and, in the April issue, a story about a hall of fame for exotic dancers. It is to pornographers what the New England Journal of Medicine is to doctors.
Undercurrent is a monthly ($19) for, whom else, skin divers and reports on the latest products, survival techniques and tax-deductible dive vacations one can take in the name of science.
Picks and Pans Main: Etc.

Whether you're looking to spruce up your house a little, need a little more privacy from that nosy neighbor across the street, or are trying to fight off the cold of a front range winter or the 300 days of sunshine that the Mile High City is famous for, there's sure to be a Denver window covering solution out there that can meet your needs. Traditional window treatments, window awnings and overhangs, shutters, insulated panels, and even installing new windows, are all options for the Denverite looking to improve the looks, efficiency, and privacy of the windows in their homes.
Reasons for Installing a Denver Window Covering
Generally homeowners fall into one of three categories when it comes to window coverings. The first are just looking for a little face lift when it comes to their home design, and window covering in Denver is certainly an excellent place to start. The second group of homeowners is primarily concerned with energy efficiency and comfort, and sees window covering in Denver as a solution to efficiency issues that arise in the winter and summer months. Finally, with the perpetual growth that the Front Range has experienced over the past several decades, privacy can be a serious issue in Denver's crowded and ever-growing suburbs. Anyway you cut it there are a lot of excellent reasons to pursue new window coverings for your Mile High home.
Denver Window Covering: Your Options
The world of window covering in Denver is a huge one, and can be a bit intimidating to navigate. Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most popular choices for window treatments in the Mile High City, and their uses.
- Natural Blinds, Light Drapery, and Other Window Covering in DenverThese window coverings are for those who want a little privacy, but are more concerned with looks and letting in valuable outside light. They tend to be thin and less expensive than alternatives, though they don't provide much help in the realm of energy efficiency.
- Heavy Drapes, Wood Blinds, and ShuttersThese window covering solutions are primarily used to create total privacy, to fight the uncomfortable effects of the relentless Colorado sun, and to block out sunlight for those who want darkness (i.e., you work the nightshift and sleep days). Heavy drapes can also function as a good insulator in the colder months.
- Roman and Cellular ShadesThese shades come in many forms and are your best investment if you're looking for attractive solutions to improving energy efficiency in your home. Cellular shades are built with a honeycomb type construction that traps air and provides an insulative barrier between the window glass and your home; roman shades block air flow, especially styles that magnetically seal to the window frame when lowered. Reversible shades are also available which have dual colored sides. The light side reflects sunlight, facing out in the summer to reduce heat gain; the dark side absorbs it, capturing valuable heat when turned outward during the winter months.
- Awnings, Shades, and Insulated PanelsIf traditional window coverings aren't your cup of tea, you might consider some of these less traditional solutions. Window awnings, overhangs, and insulated panels block sun and trap in heat and cold, respectively, thought they're generally not as effective in improving the interior design of your home as much as most other options of window covering in Denver.
Denver Window Covering Cost
What should you expect to pay for window covering in Denver? Based on the data we collect from post-consumer surveys of customers who've used our referral services to find their contractors, the average Denver window covering costs the homeowner about $550. Check with a professional in window treatment design, or interior decorating before you settle on a budget, however. Everything from the size of your home to your choice of treatments can drastically influence that final cost. We have records of jobs that cost $50 and others that ran $1,500. Quality window treatments aren't cheap, especially those with the capability to do more than just beautify and provide privacy, so be prepared for a little sticker shock when you get a final estimate.
Consider Using a Contractor Referral Service to Assist Your Upgrade
Generally we don't like to toot our own horn in the midst of these articles, at the risk of sounding like we're pushing a sale. We'll make an exception with Denver window covering, however. Finding a professional who understands both the practical and aesthetic applications of window coverings isn't easy, and our customers generally concur that going through a referral service like HomeAdvisor.com is a good call when it comes to finding quality help. Take this quote from a homeowner who used our services. He wrote: "From the day I requested the service on HomeAdvisor.com to the day the blinds were installed was less than two weeks [our contractor] offered paper temporary blinds for the time that the blinds were being made, which he would come and fit and place in the windows. Wonderful company. Deciding on the colors I wanted was the most time consuming, so get an idea of your color scheme before you [make a decision]." A second Denverite concurred, though chose to keep their comment short and sweet. When asked if they had any advice to give others on the process of acquiring new window covering in Denver, they responded "nothing but to call HomeAdvisor sooner." Our contractor referral services, which can put you in touch with everybody from interior decorators to window installers, are a great way to cut down on the legwork it takes to find and hire the right person for the job.Matt Goering, formerly a carpenter and house painter, is a freelance writer for the home improvement industry who has published over 600 articles.

SAN FERNANDO — The pretrial hearing for a Newhall man who allegedly hit a woman with his car, killing her on Orchard Village Road was continued Friday in San Fernando Superior Court.
Wearing a green polo shirt and khaki slacks, Jonathan Anker, 68, listened as his case was continued until Sept. 11.
Anker faces two charges — failing to remain at the scene of an accident and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs — for the February incident in which his car allegedly struck Saugus resident Dianda Doane as she walked in the driving lanes of Orchard Village Road in Valencia, then he allegedly left the scene as her body lay in the street.
However, Deputy Public Defender Cynthia S. Vargas, who represents Anker, denied Friday that drugs or alcohol were involved in the case.
"This is one of those situations where it's very, very tragic for everyone involved," Vargas said. "My understanding is that it was an accident."
Anker posted bail the day after Doane was killed.
He refused to comment Friday outside of the courthouse.

My ears and brain seem to be my attraction receptors. The quiet wallflower at the social function who turns out to be brilliant. The guy who can rattle off 50 "a man walks into a bar" jokes in moments (and lets me interject a few of my own). I used to think Woody Allen was the sexiest guy on earth. (Then he married his step daughter. Oh well.) Men who are kind but not weak. Men who don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I thought Bill Clinton was smokin'. (Then he lied. Oh well.)
After 15 minutes of talking to a man, I don't really see him with my eyes.
That said, M&F magazine recently had a full page pic of Frank Zane from the 80's. I hung that puppy on my fridge.
I must be evolutionarily backward, because aside from eyebrows and scalp, hair on guys turns me off faster than an ice bath. I like muscles, and I like them unobscured by greasy fur.
But even worse than a lot of hair on a big, muscular guy is a little hair on a pasty weakling marshmallow:
I don't even think there is a place men can grow fur that I don't love it. Most dudes people consider hairy, I'm usually like, "Is that all? YAWN." I even love giant bushy unibrows. I once dated a dude with the thickest, most glorious unibrow. Took my breath away. <3
I ain't showing off, just sayin.
I think the bottom line is that we are some messed up or just socially retarded people with no real unified sense of attraction. More like my neighbor's dog...who will hump anything that does or doesn't move. (Except generally pickier)

I survived Black Friday. And Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Got through the whole weekend and most of my gift list, without exceeding my holiday shopping budget. I'm very proud of myself, staying within budget throughout the frenzy.
Christmas shopping used to be my favorite seasonal activity. I enjoyed the challenge of finding the perfect gift for each recipient, even in the lean years, when creative thinking made up for lack of cash. One year, my only purchase was a stack of origami paper, which I folded into miniature floral arrangements and customized displays.
Then, in 1999, my father died of pancreatic cancer a week before Christmas. I did no shopping at all that year, and for the next several years I went through the holidays on autopilot.
There are some wounds that time cannot heal, but it does serve well as an anesthetic. A decade after my father's passing, I felt ready to rejoin the legion of holiday shoppers. I decided to do it in a big way, by braving my first Black Friday. It was also my last, or so I said at the time.
In the Wal-Mart chaos, surrounded by veteran BFers working in teams and jostling past rookies like me, I felt like "Alice Through the Looking Glass." I'd never seen Mauians behave like that. Later, standing in the more orderly but much slower lines at Macy's, I had lots of time to observe and ponder how much Maui had grown in my lifetime.
In the 1960s, before Black Friday existed, every Friday was a shopping event. That was the only day of the week the stores stayed open until 8 p.m. And nothing was open Sundays. But on Friday nights, Kahului Shopping Center was the place to be. Under the monkeypod trees.
You could shop in Wailuku town on Friday nights, too, and during the holidays, high school bands and church choirs would perform on Market Street, in front of First Hawaiian Bank. The Wailuku Christmas Parade was a highlight of the year, led by Santa on a fire engine, tossing peppermints and hard candies to the crowd lining Main Street. The Baldwin High School Band always marched in pajamas and nightcaps.
One holiday season, when I was 7 or 8 years old, the big Wigwam store in Honolulu opened up a temporary shop at the back end of Kahului Shopping Center, between Robin's and Music Sales. Remember their jingle? It was more of a chant, really, with native drums beating out the rhythm: "Your dollar buys more, your dollar buys more, your dollar buys more at the Wigwam store. Wigwam! (Pah-pah pum-PUM!)"
We kids were thrilled to have Wigwam on Maui, even for just a few weeks. I guess they might have carried grown-up gifts as well, but all I remember seeing were rows and rows of bins filled with toys. It was a dream come true. You see, boys and girls, back in the olden days, there was no toy store on Maui. No Kay Bee Toys or Toys R Us. We got our Lincoln Logs and Barbies from variety stores like Ben Franklin, Kress and National Dollar, where Mom bought household goods. Drug stores like Toda's and Craft's also stocked a shelf or two with toys and games.
I don't remember whether they were given by the Wailuku merchants, the Kahului Town Association or another organization, but I loved the traditional goodie bags we received each year. The brown paper bag always contained an apple, an orange, a few unshelled nuts, and several pieces of Christmas candy - fancy ribbon candy, if you were lucky. No matter what, though, the unwrapped candies always got sticky and ended up all stuck together.
This year, I think my inner elf is finally back in the game. I actually enjoyed shopping on Thanksgiving night and through the weekend. Standing in line at Macy's, I recalled the time my father took me there to help him pick out a gift for Mom. It was the brand-new Liberty House back then, and I was so pleased that he trusted my teenage fashion sense. That was one of the best father-daughter afternoons we ever spent.
I'll be doing more gift shopping and reminiscing this Friday. Wailuku First Friday features the return of the Christmas Parade, this time with the award-winning Maui High School Marching Band. Santa will be there, of course, with or without firetruck, and the evening's entertainment includes renowned jazz musicians Jeff Kashiwa and Bill Heller, with Maui's own Le Gruv. I'm looking forward to roaming Market Street with the spirit of Christmas Past and the joy of Christmas Present. And my shopping list.

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's short story, "Mrs. Dutta Writes a Letter", published in the Atlantic Monthly, April 98 issue, is a story about a mother coming to terms with her age, her widowhood, her place in her son's household. It is a story about an old woman's loneliness in an alien culture. It is also a story about a lady's courage to defy her own conditioning, a lifetime's worth of conditioning, and her determination to meet an unknown, unprepared for fate with courage and honesty. Mrs. Dutta's is as much a story of renewal, rediscovery, rejuvenation, rebirth as it is of the passing of an era, the changing of times.
The story revolves around Mrs. Dutta who stakes everything to come to the US to make her life with her only son and his family. She has lost her husband to death, she has said her goodbyes to lifelong neighbors and friends, she has sold her flat in Calcutta, she has completely uprooted herself, for tradition and conditioning, both demand that she move in with her son. And above all, there is this small matter of what will the world say to any other choice. So she comes determined to be happy and to run her son's family as in the ways of the old world. She comes convinced that she is needed. That her place is with her son, and she is still the center of his existence as she once was.
A few months later, she finally acknowledges and comes to terms with her observation that she really is at the periphery of her son's efficiently run household. That she really is not needed, she is superfluous. She fears and worries over what people will make of her choice if she were to return, how they will talk of her and her relationship with her son and yet she decides to return. She asks those very friends whom she had left behind, whether they will rent her their "barsaati" upstairs. The story ends here. We do not know where Mrs. Dutta's journey will take her but for now it is enough to witness those very first, those very fragile steps towards autonomy.
The crux of the story, to me, is Mrs. Dutta's painful journey and her emerging sense of autonomy , her honesty and her courage to defy a life time's worth of conditioning. In those very first faltering steps, we see her victory, both moral and real. There is courage in her vulnerability as there is honesty in her doubt about her ability to live on her own. Her hesitation and thereafter her subsequent decision captures the strength in this story which has been criticised for painting stereotypic characters. I find the characters very human, limitations, strengths and all. It is true that both the daughter in law and the son appear two dimensional, one bad and the other good, but that is so because they stand at the periphery of the story, more spectators than participants. It is not their story. Much as it appears, it is not even a story of relationships or interactions between the eternal mother-son-daughter in law nexus that looms so large in the Indian psyche. It is a story of a woman's journey, an old woman's journey into her inner core, her baggage, her conditioning, her reckonings, her perceptions, her decisions. I know there are many who will vehemently disagree with this assessment of "Mrs. Dutta Writes a Letter".

Equally important, it constitutes an alleged type system that informally encapsulates many of the essential internal semantic relationships of the data set, and the transactional capabilities of a DBMS mean that you can do an all-or-nothing upgrade procedure on it. EROS/KeyKOS have a similarly generic low-level representation, but they don't have anything analogous to a schema, and I have come to see this as a failing. All of the stories I have heard for upgrading such systems are just that: stories. shap

The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars of different backgrounds in order to study the geometric aspects of medieval Islamic art and material culture in an interdisciplinary way and to develop modes of cooperation. We hope to open the eyes of the speakers and participants to the many different branches of Islamic art and material culture where geometric design plays a dominant role, and to gain insight into the traditions in which these patterns are created. To connect to the living tradition, artists will also be involved.
The workshop will consist of a general interdisciplinary part (September 11 - 13) and a continuation (Sept. 14-15), which emphasizes mathematical and possibly educational aspects.

First Attempt At Excel Document Formatting Hooks Using ColdFusion And POI
As I stated before, I have been trying to come up with a very easy way to generate Excel document with good formatting by using ColdFusion and POI at a high level. I am not talking about a simple wrapper for POI that makes it ColdFusion friendly. That kind of low-level, very granular stuff has been done before. I am talking about making it very easy for people to pass in a query or an array or a CSV value and convert that into a very nicely formatted Excel document with just a few lines of code.
I am not posting the implementation yet, as it is very early, but I thought I would share the thoughts to date. I have taken my POI Utility ColdFusion component and broken it out into a few objects:
- POIUtility.cfc
- POISheet.cfc
- POIHelper.cfc
The POI Helper ColdFusion component just has some utility functions such as CSV parsing and CSS stacking (read: cascading of CSS rules). The POI Sheet ColdFusion component houses the information about a given sheet that needs to be created. Then the POI Utility ColdFusion component is the glue that brings it all together.
Let's run through an example of where I am now:
- <!---
- Let's start out by creating an array of arrays that will
- act as the data for our Excel sheet. Behind the scenes,
- this array is actually getting converted to a query (but
- that is not important at this time).
- --->
- <cfset arrData = ArrayNew( 1 ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 1 ] = ListToArray( "Azure,9.0,10.0,Brunette" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 2 ] = ListToArray( "Sarah,9.0,9.0,Brunette" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 3 ] = ListToArray( "Kit,7.0,7.0,Brunette" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 4 ] = ListToArray( "Kim,8.0,n/a,Black" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 5 ] = ListToArray( "Annie,7.0,9.0,Brunette" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 6 ] = ListToArray( "India,6.0,5.0,Blonde" ) />
- <cfset arrData[ 7 ] = ListToArray( "Cici,5.0,3.0,Blonde" ) />
- <!---
- Now, let's create an instance of the POI Utility. This call
- assumes that the POIUtility.cfc is in the same directory as
- the calling code.
- --->
- <cfset objPOI = CreateObject(
- "component",
- "POIUtility"
- ).Init()
- />
- <!---
- Get a POI Sheet object from the POI Utility. The sheet
- object is in now way tied to the POI Utility. This is
- just a comvenience method. You could just have easily
- called the CreateObject() method and instantiated the
- sheet yourself.... that is why CreateSheet() returns
- an uninitialized sheet (so that you can pass in the
- good stuff).
- When initializing, we can pass in the Name of the sheet,
- the data array we created above, the column names (for
- the header row) and the default CSS information).
- --->
- <cfset objSheet = objPOI.CreateSheet().Init(
- Name = "Hot Chicks",
- DataArray = arrData,
- ColumnNames = "Name,Hotness,Coolness,Hair Color",
- HeaderCSS = "font: italic 16pt verdana ; background: lime ; color: white ; border-bottom: 3px solid green ;",
- RowCSS = "border-bottom: 1px solid gold ; font-size: 12pt ;",
- AltRowCSS = "background-color: lemon_chiffon ;"
- ) />
- <!---
- Now, here's where it gets exciting. Let's format cells in
- the Excel file using conditions and CSS.
- --->
- <!---
- Here, we are are going to find any cell whose value is
- "n/a" and update the CSS with font and color.
- --->
- <cfset objSheet.AddFormatting(
- Condition = "{value} EQ 'n/a'",
- CSS = "font-style: italic ; color: GREY_40_PERCENT ;"
- ) />
- <!---
- Here, we are going to find any value in the 2nd column
- whose value is greater than or equal to 9 and we are
- going to update the CSS with color and font.
- --->
- <cfset objSheet.AddFormatting(
- Condition = "({column} EQ 2) AND (Val( {value} ) GTE 9)",
- CSS = "color: red ; font-weight: bold ;"
- ) />
- <!---
- Here, wer are going ot find any value in the 3rd column
- whose value is greater than or equal to 9 and update
- the CSS with color.
- --->
- <cfset objSheet.AddFormatting(
- Condition = "({column} EQ 3) AND (Val( {value} ) GTE 9)",
- CSS = "color: red ;"
- ) />
- <!---
- Now that our data and formatting are set, we are going to
- write the Excel file by sending in the file path and the
- sheet object we created above.
- --->
- <cfset objPOI.WriteExcel(
- FilePath = ExpandPath( "./test.xls" ),
- Sheets = objSheet
- ) />
The AddFormatting() method is what I am all jazzed up about now. You use that to add conditional formatting based on a expression that will get Evaluated during the Excel creation. Right now, there are three "place holders" that you can use in the conditional expression:
The current column index (1-based like ColdFusion).
The current row index (1-based like ColdFusion). This offset does NOT include the header row.
The actual data value of the cell.
The Condition expression actually gets evaluated using the ColdFusion method Evaluate() so you can use any methods or expression available to a standard ColdFusion expression. Even things like this are totally valid:
- "FindNoCase( 'sexy', {value} )"
As long as the condition evaluates to TRUE, the CSS is stacked on top of the existing CSS for that cell. Formatting conditions are applied in the order in which they were added to the sheet. The CSS formatting rules will cascade as much like standard CSS as I could manage (I am only human). If you look at the Excel below, you will notice that all of our conditions stacked appropriately with the RowCSS and AltRowCSS passed into the Sheet constructor.
Here is the Excel sheet that was produced with the above code:
NOTE: I resized the columns manually. Currently, the columns widths cause a bit of an issue (since I am trying to get text wrapping to apply).
How easy was that? I LOVE being able to use standard (and fuzzy) CSS rules to format a cell. CSS is awesome and natural and easy to read and understand. If you ain't using CSS, you'ze a sqaure.
As it stands right now, here are the methods available to the POISheetObject():
I am not going to detail them at this point as I feel many of them are self explanatory. They are pretty much getters and setters. Behind the scenes, every data value gets converted to a ColdFusion query. Data Arrays and CSV values all get converted to an array behind the scene. I just find queries easy to work with and they make for a very nice, uniform interface regardless of the data origin.
So anyway, that's the first go-round on this idea. Any thoughts?
And remember, I am not trying to make a ColdFusion API for the POI project. I am trying to make a very easy to use Data-to-Excel translation. I am not trying to solve very detailed problems here (think cell functions, regions, printable areas). At least not yet; all that stuff will come with time. What I am trying to do at first is accomplish one goal: Make it easy to create formatted Excel files based on simple sets of data.
While this sounds simple, it is proving harder than expected. I believe that the low-level stuff (setting functions, splitting screens) is actually going to be easier as less "magic" will be happening behind the scenes as the defining of such things will probably require reaching more directly into the POI API.

Have you also looked at JExcelAPI?
It would be interesting to see a comparison with POI.
I looked at JExcel very briefly. I actually tried working with that before I even knew about POI. I kept trying to load it as a JAR file without putting it in the class paths (I like the idea of having stuff very modular - another conversation all together). I could read fine, but writing seemed be throwing errors.
I talked to Mark Mandell about it and he seemed to think it was a ClassLoader conflict. I should try it again using his Java class loader.
Long story short though, I was not able to get very far with JExcel without installed it. POI, on the other hand is already installed, so I went starting going that route.
We have written some custom Java stuff to 'read and write' excel files that piggybacks off of POI.
In our world (mortgage rates, etc...) on import we are reading 'range specific locations' on an excel worksheet and parse that information.
For export, we drop blocks of data into a 'pre formatted' excel sheet at different range locations/worksheets. While we're not handling the formatting directly, it allows for easy reading of specific locations and writing of data to specific locations... in a 'pretty' but templated excel workbook.
There are some limitations, of course. But if you think this might be a workable solution for you, please drop me a line.
That sounds freakin' brilliant! It never in a million years would have occurred to me to read in an existing file that had formatting. You magnificent bastard! I will give that a go to experiment.
You are a genius:
How funny I found two solutions I needed from your web site, two days apart!
I also wanted to offer you my condolences on your father's passing. I'm sure you are making him proud.
Now to my question, can you post what became of your inquiry to Alan about feeding the formatted xls (see two or three comments up).
Glad to help, and thank you very much for your thoughts of my father. The preformatted XLS stuff is actually in the link right above your comment... but the link is not working for some reason. Here is a working link :)
Great work. Thanks for everything so far.
Whee can we get a copy of the POISheet.cfc and POIHelper.cfc??
Maybe I am not seeing another post where you posted these files..
David Sterling
I have not posted it anywhere. It's kind of on the back-burner for the moment. I will try and give it some time/effort. Thanks for checking in.
Hey Ben,
Love the POIUtility.cfc... it's adding an extra dimension to my perspective of Excel compatibility with CF.
I've got a bit of a conundrum here... Is there any way that POI is capable of detecting specific formatting (bold, italic, underline) and thus allowing formatting via CF to HTML equivalents through Replace()... For example, a cell containing:
will render out as:
when spat out by CF?
Appreciate your thoughts...

The death marked the first confirmed fatality from the disease in the county in several years -- and the second death from pertussis in California this year, according to a news release from the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services.
Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Oldham stressed the importance for children and adults to be up to date on their immunizations.
Children younger than 6 months old are particularly at risk of getting whooping cough. Vaccinations typically start at 2 months of age, but don't provide protection until a baby is about 6 months, health officials said.
California experienced a "pertussis epidemic" in 2010, the news release said. More than 9,100 cases, including 10 deaths, were reported -- more cases than in any year since the pre-vaccine era.
Monthly case reports began increasing in mid-2013.

Bundles for Christmas
Bedtime Bundles joined forces with congregants from St. Mark's Episcopal Church Sunday, December 9, 2013, to distribute 62 bundles to children at RCMA (Redlands Christian Migrant Association) located in East Naples, on 6L Farm Road. The children and their parents were treated to a Christmas party sponsored by St. Mark's. We were able to enhance their day by giving each child a bundle, as well as a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart. Their parents were encouraged to help themselves to extra sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks & underwear. We experienced the true meaning of Christmas and thank St. Mark's for allowing us to participate ... Read More »

When Miley Cyrus was promoting 'The Last Song,' her first major movie outside of the 'Hannah Montana' franchise, she talked extensively to reporters about wanting to continue doing "serious" movies.
"Hopefully, people will take me seriously as an actress," she said at a press conference for the film.
And some reviews for the Nicholas Sparks-penned movie did highlight that Cyrus was pretty good. Entertainment Weekly called her "a really interesting movie star in the making," and Roger Ebert predicted she'd be playing heroines along the lines of Ashley Judd as she got older.
But could that path have been diverted today? Video footage surfaced of the young starlet smoking what sources say is the legal psychedlic salvia out of a bong at a party on her 18th birthday.
Though the drug is legal, and though Cyrus was of legal age, the (fairly innocent, if annoyingly giggly) video doesn't look good for someone who was once a 'Disney' commodity and a supposed role model for young people. (Although, come on, any parent "shocked" by this video should also get their eyes and ears checked out ASAP.)
But what does this "revelation" say about Cyrus' plans for a budding movie career? For roles like the one she played in 'Hannah Montana' or 'The Last Song,' it's probably the end of the line.
But, come to think of it, that may not be such a bad thing.
Maybe this scandal-inducing clip will catapult Cyrus into darker, more mature roles. It could be just the catalyst she needs to leave her cookie-cutter roles behind forever.
She could play a hooker with a heart of gold, or a struggling teen mother, or a serial killer or, heck, even a drug addict (if it's not too soon to be tongue-in-cheek). She could get in with Robert Rodriguez or Zack Snyder -- even Quentin Tarantino.
She could make a movie like 'Half Nelson' (that's about drugs!) or one about debauchery in general, like fellow-former child star Macaulay Culkin did with 'Party Monster.' She could try to emulate Jodie Foster or Natalie Portman, who both matured from child actors to legitimate movie stars. Maybe she could even go for relevent comedy and try to snag a role in Judd Apatow's next stoner flick.
All is not lost!
Cyrus is young enough that a drug scandal will hardly taint her career forever (here's lookin' at you, Robert Downey Jr. and Drew Barrymore). But she would do well to focus herself on channelling that rebellion into better movie roles, instead of riding the Lohan-train to Disaster-Town, if she still wants to become a "serious actress."

In a difficult storyline to be recognized, we are hunted as a pilot of the helicopter carrying title by three fictional trouble spots and a total of 16 missions. The mission design turns out this very simple: take off, the objectives drive, all the enemies disappear off and land safely. For a little variety to the superior number of tasks that remain always the same knitted protective orders allied ground troops. Here, the Apache unceremoniously parked in the air and we marvel at what is happening now with a view to control the on-board infrared guns and cannons. The problem is that this move just commemorated as a loosening missions very quickly in the length.
Significantly more important than the mission design would seem to be most interested in the actual control of the flight vehicle. Since "Apache Air Assault" appeal to both action fans and followers would equally simulation, first of all there are three levels of difficulty that claim significantly the realism of the control. "Training" enables an easy introduction for casual flyers. "Realism", however his name is entirely suitable.
At least noticeable centrifugal and rotational forces acting on the Apache, so that a sudden turn can mean fast at full speed to crash the machine concentration and control are essential. For those that to "veteran" does need to grapple with on top of that ammunition shortages and consult regularly weapons depots. A single crash, and you must also restart the mission an automatic regeneration of the damage does not exist.

WAILUKU - For the first felony animal cruelty conviction in Maui County, a man was sentenced Thursday to a six-month jail term for bludgeoning his dog to death.
"This is unacceptable," 2nd Circuit Judge Richard Bissen said as he imposed the sentence on Kimo Kidder, 36.
Kidder also was placed on five years' probation.
Article Photos
He had pleaded no contest to first-degree cruelty to animals in the killing of the dog. The young pit bull mix was found dead when police responded to a homeless campsite on an empty lot at Lower Main Street and Waiehu Beach Road at 8:54 p.m. April 29.
Police said the dog had been hit on the head with a hammer and was heard yelping.
Defense attorney Cary Virtue said he believed that Kidder's mental health issues played a part in what happened.
Bissen said a report to the court indicated that Kidder, who was living at the campsite with his partner and the dog, was homeless after he chose not to go to a residence where his case manager had placed him because his partner couldn't go with him.
Bissen said Kidder has a lengthy prior record of more than 30 arrests and 24 convictions, including one for a felony offense, first-degree terroristic threatening.
"But this may be the most egregious of all of them," he said.
Referring to Kidder's explanation for "killing this helpless dog with the hammer," Bissen asked Kidder, "What job was the dog not doing?"
"I just don't want to get into it," Kidder replied.
"Why didn't you just take it to the shelter, give it away? Did you consider that?" Bissen said.
"Yeah, now I do," Kidder said.
"You don't seem too bothered by what you did," Bissen told Kidder. "That's a brutal way to kill any animal. Do you even get that?"
Kidder answered, "Yeah."
A plea agreement between the defense and prosecution called for Kidder to be released Thursday, when he had already spent 73 days in jail.
But Bissen ordered the longer six-month jail term.
The judge ordered Kidder not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs and to undergo a mental health assessment.
"The defense appreciates the court's sensitivity in sentencing Mr. Kidder on this troubling case," Virtue said after the sentencing. "I think the court's order for a mental health assessment was very appropriate and needed."
Kidder's conviction was the first in Maui County for the felony charge of first-degree animal cruelty, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, said Deputy Prosecutor Carson Tani.
The charge applies when someone intentionally tortures, mutilates or poisons an animal.
"The prosecutor's office will vigorously prosecute these animal cruelty cases," Tani said outside of court. "You can't have people torturing defenseless animals."

if you dont wanna pay out for a wireless router i reccomend you buy one of these i think it works with dial up
I have a wireless network at my house and but i do not have a high speed connection, its a wireless dial up setup, and it is been trying to update for about 2 hours now. I was wondering if i there is any way to download the update from the internet some where and burn it to a cd or put it on a sd card and install the update from there.
if you dont wanna pay out for a wireless router i reccomend you buy one of these i think it works with dial up
Mario strikers: 438187 579069
if you add me pm me
i already have a wireless connection its just realy slow. that why i was asking if like a friend could download it and burn it for me.
Might be easier to take it to your friend's house and download from his high-speed wireless connection. (Or anywhere else you can get a high-speed signal.) It would be nice to download it from PC to SD card and update from that.
No, it must be downloaded directly from Nintendo to the Wii.Originally Posted by bumbeh
Well i ended up doing this and it took me about 4 hours to get it not fun but thats done with that for now... till the next update
Rent a motel room with free wireless internet and a tv. Hook it up and update away.
thats a waste of money lol. get the wifi usb connesctor. i got it cause we have dont have a wireless router. works good and it works for ds and wii
If you read the thread he said he already has a wireless network, he is just on dial-up so the update feature doesn't work so well. He needs a highspeed connection.Originally Posted by elmo_999
Other then being slow as junk it works for the purposes that i need it to. I am in a temporary house and once i move i will be getting the high speed but it works for now. The weather chan works out pretty well but the news i havent been able to get in to. I was told it takes a while to load the first time. Also the wii shop channel i am trying to get in to that now to see whats in there. I have herd this also takes a little to load, so ill go get a shower do some dishes and see how that goes, but other then the internet witch was not my reason of purchase i love my wii. cant wait till i get my other games in the mail.

A 14-member jury, which includes two alternate jurors, was picked by prosecutors and defense attorneys on Feb. 10. But Bessemer Cutoff Judge David Hobdy postponed the beginning of the trial to today because of concerns about the weather and the holiday weekend.
This morning, however, Assistant Cutoff Jefferson County District Attorney James D. Butler asked the judge to continue the trial again. He told the judge that Assistant Jefferson County District Attorney Jill Ganus, who was also prosecuting the case, had emergency oral surgery on Monday and was unable to be there today. Butler also told the judge that the coroner who is to testify in the case was tending to his gravely ill father in another state.
Hobdy told the jurors to return on March 10 to begin the trial. He told the jury that is was an unusual set of circumstances. The judge also told the jurors not to read or listen to news about the case during the break.Burns, 26, is charged with capital murder in the Dec. 31, 2011 shooting death of 23-year-old LaDarrius Watson and with the attempted murder of Terrell McMullin, who was 19 years old at the time of the shooting. Burns is being held in without bond while the case is pending.
Watson was found shot to death in the 5900 block of Avenue C in Fairfield. McMullin was found nearby.
According to an affidavit from police in the case, Burns was a passenger in the backseat of a vehicle when he shot Watson, who was driving, in the head. Burns also shot McMullin, who was in the front passenger seat, the affidavit states.
Burns allegedly fled the scene after the vehicle wrecked, according to the affidavit. Burns has denied being the shooter.
Burns is represented by attorneys Matthew Gosney and Tommy Tucker.
Updated at 6:50 a.m. Feb. 20 to correct second reference to date of shooting

EDITOR'S NOTE: Four Jersey City police inspectors were promoted yesterday to deputy chiefs today, at a time when 82 police officers are set to be laid off and 12 supervisors demoted. A member of the executive board of the Police Officer's Benevolent Association responds with this statement.
The promotions under the current situation with 82 police officers
facing layoffs further illustrate's Team Healy's incompetence and
mismanagement of the Police Department and the City. The questions that
must be asked is what exactly will our pay lag and clothing allowance be
paying for? How will the city be able to pay for the promotions and the
increase in pension cost next year ? We are not opposed to promotions
however this not an appropriate time to be having promotions.
It is not the Police Officer's Benevolent Association's (POBA) responsibility to finance Mayor Healy's incompetence . Only Mayor Healy would attempt to deceive the citizens of
Jersey City into believing that promotions will save money.
At our January union meeting, we intend to have a vote of no confidence
in the Police Director Jefferson and Chief Comey who have both failed to
speak out against the layoffs and demotions of the members of the POBA
and PSOA.

Running a 5K race is a great challenge for novice runners. According to both MayoClinic.com and Runner's World, you should be able to go from a couch potato to a 5K racer in just under two months. You won't need a trainer or fancy equipment, just a free training plan to keep you on schedule. The training schedule to run a 5K links with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's physical activity guidelines that recommend at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week.
Step 1
Run and walk three or four times per week for 30 minutes per session.
Step 2
Add five seconds to your running time and subtract five seconds from your walking time every other week. For example, on weeks 1 and 2 run for 15 seconds, then walk for 45 seconds over the duration of 30 minutes. In weeks 3 and 4, you'll add five seconds and run for 20 seconds and walk for 40 seconds. Weeks 4 and 5 have you running for 25 seconds and walking for 35 seconds. Week 7 evens out with 30 seconds of running and walking each.
Step 3
Save one day per week for a long run and walk. Since a 5K is equal to 3.1 miles, one day per week you should run and walk 3.1 miles and time yourself to see how long it takes you to achieve that distance. Every week you might find that you have more stamina and can increase the ratio of running time to walking time. You'll know that you are ready to run a 5K by yourself when you can run 3.1 miles without stopping.
Step 4
Perform strength training and cross-training exercises two times per week. Cross-training exercises include activities like swimming, yoga, cycling, the elliptical and aerobics classes. Both cross-training and strength training activities help to build up your stamina and endurance.
Step 5
Take one day off per week to rest.
- Always warm up for five minutes by briskly walking or jogging then stop and stretch your major muscle groups. When you are finished running, stretch again and walk for five minutes to cool down.

Molecular Medicine
This course focuses on the impact of basic science on medicine and medical practice. In this quarter-long course, patient case histories are used to introduce key areas of clinical research and investigative medicine. An important aim is to introduce clinical problems in a way that is directly accessible to graduate students, to facilitate the reading of basic science and primary clinical literature on common problems, and to foster participation in the many clinical seminars at the UW and affiliated institutions that are focused on human disease problems. Topics covered are in five major disease areas: inflammation and host response; vascular disease; obesity, weight regulation and appetite; cancer biology; drug development; and gene- and cell-based therapeutics. The interplay between clinical care and investigation will be emphasized both to introduce students to medical practice, and to indicate the impact of basic science on the practice of medicine. This course is taught by faculty who are both practicing physicians and clinician investigators.
Students should be able to articulately discuss the relationships between basic science and clinical application or clinical experience in the context of a selected topic, presented to the rest of the class in small groups.
Small group presentations should be presented from one of the following two perspectives:
1. How fundamental research translates into
· Better concepts of disease pathogenesis
· Development of novel diagnostics
· Development of novel therapeutics
2. How inquiries into medical issues advance basic science
You will be divided into groups composed of students from diverse disciplines. Each group must identify a topic by February 6, and choose a group spokesperson to communicate with the course chair regarding the topic and other logistics. Group presentations will be held during the last two weeks of the quarter.

My body likes vigorous exercise. It really does.
I've been packing, moving, cleaning, and going to CA for the interview over the past week so my schedule has been turned upside down, and I haven't been getting my normal dose of crossfit. The last time I went to crossfit was last Wednesday, and we ran. It was kind of a grueling run because I went in the afternoon, and it was kind of hot. Anyway, I'm annoyed that I haven't lifted weights for pretty much a whole week. I did some sprints Friday night, then went out for a short run Sunday night. Did some pushups and chair dips here and there. Lots of moving around slowly--moving, cleaning, and walking.
Finally, this afternoon, I went to the gym for a bit during lunch. Ran 1.5 miles, did some heavy back squats, then ran another 1.7 miles. The 1.7 miles included four 40-second intervals @ 10 mph with jogging rest intervals. And I felt GOOD afterwards. It's the best I've felt for days! All that traveling and lack of structured exercise was making me feel sluggish. And the workout really energized me. Wish I had more time to do more though. Oh well, I'm going to try to make it to crossfit tomorrow--if it's not a run day, that is.
My coach realized that a lot of his top crossfitters have shitty endurance so he's programming a lot of running all of a sudden. It's kinda annoying to me cuz I'm very capable of running on my own, and I don't like the sun and heat so don't like to run outside during the day. Crossfit endurance was different back when we did it once a week cuz it was only once a week AND it was just different cuz it was intervals and I pushed myself harder than ever because I was doing the intervals with other people. I also push myself harder when doing these steady-state runs at crossfit, but they're annoying somehow. I think it's because he's making us do it several times a week, which is way too frequent. I'd rather do crossfit stuff at crossfit and supplement it with running on my own.
