Why would a new administration fire all of the attorneys from the previous administration besides that fact that they wanted ideological partisans in place?
It's a question of priorities.
The priorities of the incoming administration generally differ from those of the outgoing one.
when Clinton was still in office, the AGs office was busy fighting terrorism. When Ashcroft took over pornography became our greatest enemy. Good thing too or else we would have been unprepared when those giant dildos hit the WTC, right?
Seriously tho - a new administration wants to put together a team who will work towards a common goal, like stamping out terror or porno. Nothing wrong with that. But eliminating political opponents through prosecution? That's a whole 'nuther ball-o-wax. Can you REALLY not see the dif or are you just being your usual obtuse self?

€ 48,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Januar 1999
BeschreibungThis study of the history of Western political ideas begins with a discussion of the conflict between Bishop Bousset and Voltaire concerning the relationship between what is conventionally identified as sacred and profane history, and goes on to examine the "New Science" of Vico.
PortraitEric Voegelin (1901-1985) was one of the most original and influential philosophers of our time. Born in Cologne, Germany, he studied at the University of Vienna, where he became a professor of political science in the Faculty of Law. In 1938, he and his wife, fleeing Hitler, emigrated to the United States. They became American citizens in 1944. Voegelin spent much of his career at Louisiana State University, the University of Munich, and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. During his lifetime he published many books and more than one hundred articles. "The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin" will make available in a uniform edition all of Voegelin's major writings. Barry Cooper is Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary. He is the author or editor of numerous books, including "The Collected Works of Eric Voegelin, " Volume 1, "On the Form of the American Mind."

"At times...I feel an enourmous power in me - that seems almost supernatural. If this power is not too dissipated in aggravation and discouragement I may amount to something sometime. I can say this now with perfect equanimity because I am notoriously drunk and the Victrola is going with that glorious Bolero." – Hart Crane
The poet Hart Crane may not have been a Brooklyn native (as so many of us aren't), but his time here would radically change not only his life, but American poetics as well. Born on July 21, 1899 in Garrettsville, Ohio, Crane moved to the city when he was 17, after dropping out of high school. But it wasn't until 1924, when he arrived at 110 Columbia Heights that he began to "live in the shadow of that bridge."
From his new apartment Crane had a perfect view of the bridge which would become the topic of his most famous work. He wrote to his mother:
"Just imagine looking out your window directly on the East River with nothing intervening between your view of the Statue of Liberty, way down the harbor, and the marvelous beauty of the Brooklyn Bridge close above you on your right! All of the great new skyscrapers of lower Manhattan are marshalled directly across from you, and there is a constant stream of tugs, liners, sail boats, etc in procession before you on the river! It's really a magnificent place to live."
The bridge itself would grow to encompass Crane's world, symbolizing his success, when Otto H. Kahn offered him $2,000 to compose an epic poem called The Bridge. He accepted but he was an undisciplined creator and the bridge was an elusive muse. An outsider who sought anonymous sex with sailors, Crane's encounters often led to brutal beatings. Drinking heavily, struggling with the poem (he had an end but no beginning) and running out of money, Crane followed his lover Emil Opffer, Jr. to Los Angeles. But by 1928 he was back in New York, first at 77 Willow Street and then again at 110 Columbia Heights, before flitting off to Paris in 1929.
Paris was good to Crane and while he was there Harry and Caresse Crosby offered to publish The Bridge on their press, Black Sun Press. Upon accepting the offer, Crane started to celebrate, a bit too much, at Cafe Select. He argued with the waiters over the bill, then with the police, and was subsequently arrested.
Returning to Brooklyn, Crane came back to Columbia Heights, this time in a basement apartment at 130 where he finally finished The Bridge.
...Under thy shadow by the piers I waitedOnly in darkness is thy shadow clear.The City's fiery parcels all undone,Already snow submerges an iron year ...
O Sleepless as the river under thee,Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod,Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descendAnd of the curveship lend a myth to God....
The poem won Poetry magazine's Helen Haire Levinson Prize followed by a Guggenheim Fellowship for its author. Under the Fellowship, Crane headed to Mexico, ready to write, when tragedy struck. A trifecta of difficulties - his father's death, his mother withholding his inheritance and an affair (probably the only heterosexual affair of his life) with the wife of his friend - led to a severe depression.
On April 27, 1932, crossing the Gulf of Mexico on the Orizaba, Crane was beaten up after making an unwelcome pass at a crew member. Just before noon, drunk and despondent, he walked into Peggy Cowley's cabin in pajamas and a topcoat and said, "I'm not going to make it, dear. I'm utterly disgraced." Accustomed to such remarks, she told him to go get dressed. He agreed, said goodbye, headed for the stern and climbed the railing of the ship. He shouted "Goodbye everybody!" and threw himself overboard.
Hart Crane was 32 years old. His body was never found.
After his death, his poem The Bridge would divide critics. It brought lofty comparisons to T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland as well as deep criticism. The New Yorker found it, "an impressive failure. . .[that] varies wildly in quality, containing some of Crane's best writing and some of his worst."
But what did the poet think of his work, and about the majestic structure that so captivated him?
"The very idea of a bridge is an act of faith. The form of my poem rises out of a past that so overwhelms the present with its worth and vision that I'm at a loss to explain my delusion that there exists any real links between that past and a future destiny worthy of it."
Evan Hughes, in his book Literary Brooklyn, summarized Crane's death with the following:
"In his personal life, Crane was probably too well-aligned with the New York City of the 1920s. Of that time in the city, Fitzgerald wrote, "The catering to dissipation set an example to Paris; the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the morals were looser, and the liquor was cheaper; but all these benefits did not really minister to much delight. Young people wore out early." So it was for Crane, who crashed along with the twenties when the dark thirties came. In his work, however, Crane bucked the tide of his times. The roar of the capitalist economy held no appeal for him, and he set himself against "shorter hours, quicker lunches, behaviorism and toothpicks." But rather than embrace the pessimism of the poetic age of Eliot, he embraced an "ecstatic goal." His dramatic death, often mined for meaning, obscures his wider significance; he grew into greatness in an era that was out of step with his ideals."

Chapter XXII: Ostara Investigations (6/11)Mature
'It's about the kidnappings,' he explained. 'You see, Tayna and I've been looking into it, trying to find anything that might help.'
'And have you?' Hellshaw dropped the files onto the coffee table besides the stained glass lamp and looked at Will inquisitively.
'Yeah - yes, we know why they were kidnapped, we found the link.'
The professor's eyes widened with astonishment, 'please, do tell.'
'They're all academic, we think that whoever kidnapped them wants to build up forces, we think they want to fight somebody, and they need magi to do it.'
'I see...' Hellshaw hemmed thoughtfully and sat on the edge of the chair opposite him. 'I wonder, do you have any idea who it might be?'
'We - we had a hunch, and we think we're right.' Hellshaw motioned for him to continue, Will felt himself tensing, he'd never spoken about his family's tragedy so openly before. But he plucked up the courage, remembering that he need not have secrets amongst friends. 'There's this symbol called the Evil Eye,' Will explained, Hellshaw's reaction showed he knew the lore, but he made no reply. 'I've known it since I was young because - because - the people that bear the Eye were the same people that killed my family. I thought - I had this gut feeling that they were involved,' though he wanted to be honest with those around him, he wasn't willing to tell anybody but Tayna about his dream - that was their secret. 'Then, when we went through articles of all the kidnap victims, we found this.'
He pulled a random article from his satchel and ushered Hellshaw to the lamp on the desk. He held it against the glow, distinctly showing the Evil Eye. Will closed his eyes as he estimated the few seconds the professor would need to process the evidence.
'Well, I'll be,' Hellshaw said breathlessly, Will took it as a sign to open his eyes and put the article back in his bag. 'You're true investigators, aren't you? I wonder, could I take the articles to bring to the principal tonight? This is an astonishing development, we couldn't have done it without you.' Will nodded, taking the wad of papers and handing them to him. 'We'd better both be going, I don't want to be late. Rest assured, nobody will know you were in here. You should get some rest, the term begins anew tomorrow, after all.'
'Yes, sir.' This time, he thought that he would leave without interruption, but yet again, Hellshaw called him back. 'Was there something else?'
'I hope you don't mind me saying this, it's just that I never got to personally express my sympathies,'
'Sympathies, sir?'
'About your brother and sister. I knew them only by reputation, but they sounded like lovely children.'
'They still are, sir. They're alive, we're going to find them,' Will said acerbically, unable to hide his bitterness. He would always hate the subject of his brother and sister on the off-chance the past tense was used, as if everybody had already given up hope, whereas for him, seeing their faces and keeping it fresh in his mind only made him more determined.
'Oh - of course,' he stammered embarrassedly, 'I didn't mean it like that, Will, I just -,'
Will sighed. 'It's okay, sir, I'm sorry. I'm on edge. I'll feel better the closer we are to finding them. I should go.'
'Will, one more thing.' Will stood in the doorway, quietly grunting in frustration, 'have you told anybody else of this investigation and what you've found?'
'No, sir,' he replied, 'apart from Tayna, she discovered it with me, but nobody else.'
'Good, we wouldn't want to panic anybody, would we? Off you go, I'll file this paperwork and then tell Paradam immediately.'
'Are you his manager, sir?'
'No, of course not,' Hellshaw said indignantly, 'I'm just doing a helpful deed. Off you go.' His mood has suddenly shifted to annoyance, Will took it as a final sign to leave the office and retire to the commonroom.

#1 Consumer Comment
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 13, 2009POSTED: Sunday, December 13, 2009
I am actually impressed you got to talk to a human. I have had a gateway computer for almost 2 years, purchased from gateway with their extended warantee "in home"
There has been continual problems which required me to ship the computer at my expense to Texas. They do something, (no documentation of what they did) and send it back. It works for a couple of weeks, then another problem.
After replacing the harddrive, I got a "your windows is not genuine" pop up which shut down my computer. They said, buy a system recovery disc 29.00 plus shipping plus time. After wiping the computer, it works for a few days, then the same error. An engineer who does computer repairs professionally told me that if the harddrive they installed is INFECTED, the system recovery will not solve the problem.
Attempting to get gateway now is impossible. When my computer was built, apparantly becuase of its age or other issue, it does NOT have a SNID number. If you try to get a hold of gateway, their automated response WILL NOT LET YOU TALK TO ANYONE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SNID NUMBER. Thier support in India after 15 emails keep giving me the same phone number and a service request number as if that would help. After 10 emails telling me how to find my snid number, they finally admitted my system DOES NOT HAVE ONE. they still to this day insist on me calling their maddening auto response system with the same old snid story.
their next tact was to ask me what my problem was so they could try to fix it. I gave them the problem, and their answer? call this number, give them your service request number (impossible, auto response needs an 11 digit snid number ONLY) or SNID number. Gateway has decided to cut off customers from their support because they can get away with it.

- - What's my Purchase? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/68090-whats-my-purchase.html)
What's my Purchase?
I've got the stock mainsheet rigging on my Javelin, but it's in this funky configuration, and I just can't wrap my head around the blocks to the point that I can calculate my purchase. Can one of you rigging gurus make sense of this:
(I whipped it up in photoshop :D )
I'm betting it gets me some mechanical advantage 2:1? 3:1? But I'd love to be able to cite a number when chatting with my sailing buddies, you know?
Thanks for the quick answer, davidpm. Now, can someone lay a bit of theory on me so I can explain this if someone asks?
You've actually got closer to a 3:1 purchase, rather than just a 2:1. If the lines came straight down to a block with cam cleat at the transom rather than further forward, it'd clearly be a 3:1 purchase, but since it comes forward a bit, you're losing some leverage, as the lever arm is shorter compared to the other lines.
Basically, to figure out the purchase, you need to look at how many lines are attached to the moving part of the tackle, which is the boom in this case. There are three lines... so the purchase is almost 3:1.
See the diagram here:
Of course, the diagram in question is actually upside down for our purposes... since the boom is pulling away from the cockpit. Of course, another way to measure it is to see how much the boom moves when you haul in 3' of line. If it moves about a foot, it is 3:1, if it moves about 18", it is a 2:1.
That's awesome, sailingdog. Thanks for the rule of thumb, and the practical test. Next time I get her rigged, I'll take a photo, and update y'all on the results.
I'm going with 2:1 as drawn... the two blocks on the transom, and the two blocks on the boom add nothing to the purchase as far as I can see....
(I know.... defy the Dog at your own peril....:eek: ;) )
Edit... never mind... (sigh)...
As I said, if all three lines lead to a single double block or fiddle block at the end of the boom, it would be a 3:1 pretty clearly. The line going forward to the block mid-boom does add some purchase—since the two blocks effectively act as a single large diameter block, but probably not as much as if it was at the boom's end.... mid-boom sheeting gives less leverage than end-boom sheeting. That is why I say it is closer to a 3:1, but not quite 3:1.

THRILLER - LIVE (musical)
The songbook of the Jackson 5 and the late, great spangle-gloved one himself is explored in
this discography of his life.
Thriller Live looks very different to the version that first opened in the West
End in January, 2009. A brand new version of the show, with four new songs, a
new opening, new production elements including new video, new costumes and
special effects is now playing.
A new Thriller Live tour will have them dancing in the aisles across the UK
and Europe from January 2017, and opened in in the People's Republic of China as
the opening production in a major new resort in September 2016.
Thriller Live recently sold its 2 millionth West End ticket and has now been
seen by over 4 million people in 32 countries and played over 5,100 performances
The show will set out on January 27, 2017 on a major new tour, playing 12
theatres across the UK and several countries across Europe.The UK tour dates
are: Southport Theatre (27 & 28 Jan); Eden Court Theatre, Inverness (30 Jan - 4
Feb); His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen (6 - 11 Feb); Norwich Theatre Royal (13 -
18 Feb); Wolverhampton Grand Theatre (21- 25 Feb); Venue Cymru, Llandudno (27
Feb - 1 March); Sands Centre Carlisle (2 - 4 March); Gaiety Theatre Dublin (6 -
11 March); Waterfront Hall, Belfast (16 - 18 March); Grand Theatre Swansea (20 -
25 March); Grand Theatre Leeds (11 - 15 April); Belgrade Theatre, Coventry (25 -
29 April).
Producers Paul Walden and Derek Nicol said today: "After more than eight
years in the West End, Thriller Live continues to go from strength to strength.
We have had a spectacular summer and year on year audience numbers are
fantastic. Michael Jackson's music has never been more popular, and just like
Wicked and other successful shows, Thriller Live has many loyal fans who come
back time after time for repeat visits. We aim to keep the show fresh and
exciting for them for many years to come through subtle changes, additional
special effects and new video content."
Thriller Live is unlike other West End musicals. There is no script or story, it
is instead a eye-popping spectacular concert celebration of Michael Jackson's
music and dance legacy, bringing to life on stage his amazing high-energy
dancing and the pulsating sound of many of pop's greatest hits, and features
specially created video footage and effects and dazzling choreography by the
show's award-winning director, Gary Lloyd.
The current Thriller Live West End company are: Jordan Alexander, Angelica
Allen, J Brock, Dajiow, Haydon Eshun, Ryan Shaw, Ria Horsford, Cordell Mosteller,
Alex Ko, Aisling Duffy, Florivaldo Mossi, Leslie Bowman,Joshua Rees Ivey,
Alishia Marie Blake, Ebony Clarke, Alex Jackson, Victoria Lamm, Arnold Mabhena,
Helen Parsons, Chanté Simpson, Steven Thompson, Beccy Jones, Thomas Remaili,
Aled Arhyel Charles, Remi Gooding, Zayn Johnson, Zuriel Williams-Kabasomi,
Daniel Odejinmi.
The band are:
Musical Director, Guitar, Keyboard 2 John Maher
Assistant Musical Director, Keyboard 1 Ryan Farmery
Guitar 1 Damien Cooper
Bass Oliver Latka
Drums Mike Bradley
Percussion Accy Yeats
On Saturday 4th February 2017, after 3,358 performances at the Lyric Theatre,
"Thriller Live" smashed the long-held record of "Jesus Christ Superstar", which
opened in 1972, to become the 15th Longest Running Musical in West End history.
The current cast and creative team also celebrated starting their 9th year in
the West End at an aftershow party in the Lyric Theatre, where the production is
also the longest running show in the theatre's history. Dajiow, the lead singer
is shown with the cake (photo, above).
Photo above shows the opening night of Thriller Live on January 22, 2009. Left
to right: Musical Director John Maher, creator Adrian Grant, Tito Jackson and
Director/Choreographer Gary Lloyd.
Reader RZ cautions,
"Anybody who is in the least bit
should stay away. The upper backdrop is a star curtain (sometimes animated)
and alright, but the lower background is an animated LED board, with
descending LED board and six side LED boards, all of which are
animated. This is in addition to a strobe-heavy colour-flashing
(think the "Joseph Megamix" lighting on steroids) show. Definitely
one to observe the epilepsy warnings on."
Simply, something which fills a theatre in a
difficult time and gives pleasure to fans of the late Neverland One. Not for
theatrical snobs or those who require more sophistication from a script or
evening out.

BASEBALL: Notebook; The Managers Change, but the Standings Remain the Same
By MURRAY CHASS
Published: July 7, 1991
After the Milwaukee Brewers fired Buck Rodgers as their manager early in June 1982, they went on to win the American League pennant under Harvey Kuenn. The Montreal Expos dismissed Rodgers early last month, but they are not headed toward the National League pennant under Tom Runnells. But then, they didn't expect similar results.
"Not at all," Dave Dombrowski, the Expos' general manager, said. "You don't make a managerial change only for the short run. When we let Buck go, we were 20-29, struggling and pretty far out of the race. You don't make a change at that time to think that you're going to be in a position all of a sudden to win your divisional crown. You look for changes in the way you're going to operate.
In the short term, you want to get back to respectability, get to .500 and build from there. But basically, you make changes because of philosophical differences. I definitely think it was the right move for us to make."
The Expos are one of six clubs that have changed managers this season (Cleveland became the sixth yesterday). At the time they made the changes, all six teams were in the bottom halves of their divisions. Despite the changes, they remain there. No championships for them this season. Entering yesterday's games, the five teams that previously made changes were a collective 64 1/2 games from first, ranging from 9 1/2 out to 15 1/2.
Three of the six teams -- the Expos, the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies -- make up the lower half of the National League East standing. Kansas City and Baltimore have not fared any better in their quest to extricate themselves from the depths of their divisions, and the Indians have no pretension about making mammoth moves.
In other words, whether or not any of the teams had visions of division championships when they fired their managers, they certainly can't see such a destination in their future.
The Expos showed early promise under Runnells, winning seven successive games. But they turned right around and lost 11 in a row before winning Friday night against in Pittsburgh. The Cubs began well after Jim Essian replaced Don Zimmer, winning Essian's first five games, but they subsequently lost nine in a row, virtually wrecking any chance they had of living up to their role as pre-season favorite.
Jim Fregosi was the first new manager of the season, taking over the Phillies from Nick Leyva only nine games into the season. Fregosi directed an early five-game winning streak but has since overseen losing streaks of five games once, three games twice and four games three times.
Hal McRae has the best won-lost record of the new managers, but the Royals remain in last place. The Orioles have sneaked out of last place under Johnny Oates, but that feat has had as much to do with the plunge of the Cleveland Indians as with the improved play of the Orioles. The Indians' plunge, obviously, also had a lot to do with yesterday's change, Mike Hargrove for John McNamara.
"It's always difficult for a manager to come in in the middle of the season," Dombrowski said. "It's not his team. You're taking over in midstream. You don't get a feel for the job an individual does until he goes to spring training with the club his."
Taking over in midseason, Oates said he had a talk with himself.
"I hope I listened," he said. "The first thing I told myself was don't expect miracles. I didn't want to be frustrated out of the chute. I didn't feel pressure because I felt I was prepared. I know I'm going to make mistakes; there will be moves I miss. But I want to be prepared going into every game. Then it's out of my hands; I have no control over it."
The Orioles changed managers because they were suffering their second disappointing season after nearly stealing the division championship in 1989. The Expos changed because Rodgers wouldn't adapt to Dombrowski's view of how a manager should prepare a team for games. The Cubs changed not because the general manager, Jim Frey, wanted to, but because his superiors, Tribune Company executives, decided it was time.
"Many times you change for a new look; you hope for a fresh start or something," Frey said. "But we all understand what that means in the end. The real story here is it's hard for people to show patience during difficult times because in the minds of some people, when a team struggles, it's the idea that there is some ineptness or some bad planning or some inability to do the proper job connected with that. Many times that's not the case. Many times you're just a victim of circumstances."
Changing managers, Frey added, "is not always the cure-all."
"You hope there's a new look," he said. "You hope there's a fresh start and it has a positive effect, but it doesn't always."
For now, in five cases, it hasn't. Watered-Down Stars
The juxtaposition of the two developments was appropriate. One day last week the starting teams for the All-Star Game were announced, and the American League lineup featured a first baseman, Mark McGwire of Oakland, who yesterday was hitting .200. Then later in the week, the owners approved the National League's two expansion teams.

The Ashes: Turnaround complete

- The Ashes: I took a back seat and watched Haddin go, says Steve Smith
- Another rearguard rescue act
- Ashes: Dominant Australia on course for 5-0 whitewash
Top Stories
Australia obliterated England's batting in a shade over 31 overs to claim a thumping 281-run fifth Test victory with more than two days to spare and seal only the third 5-0 sweep in the long history of Ashes series on Sunday. The triumph at a sunbaked SCG completed a remarkable turnaround for Australia, who were in disarray after being swept themselves in India and going down 3-0 in England to lose a third successive Ashes series last year.
A big clue to how Australia managed that turnaround came when paceman Mitchell Johnson was awarded the Compton-Miller medal as Man of the Series after taking 37 wickets at a shade under 14 apiece over the five Tests. Johnson's ferocious pace again played an integral part in Australia's victory in Sydney but it was no one man show and his fellow quick Ryan Harris won Man of the Match honours after taking five for 25 as England were skittled for 166 on Sunday.
It was Johnsons intervention after tea on Sunday that turned what had been a stately progression to victory into another humiliating rout for the tourists. After finally dismissing Chris Rogers for 119 and bowling Australia out for 276, England stumbled to the break on 87 for three chasing a highly improbable 448 for victory.
A fifth thumping victory had always looked on the cards after Australia's pace attack tore through England's top order in the first hour of day two. A more spectacular collapse in 11 balls after the second interval on day three made it certain with Johnson dismissing opener Michael Carberry for 43 and Gary Ballance three balls later in the first over.
Spinner Nathan Lyon took over for the next over and he dismissed Jonny Bairstow (zero) and Scott Borthwick (four) to reduce the tourists to 95/7 in a matter of minutes. With England's top order having failed yet again, Ben Stokes (32) and Stuart Broad (42) provided their country's stiffest resistance down the order but they could only delay the inevitable.

- A few examples from Calvin and Hobbes:
Mrs. Wormwood: CALVIN, PAY ATTENTION! We're studying geography! Now, what state do you live in?Calvin: Denial.Mrs. Wormwood: (sigh) I don't suppose I can argue with that...
- Calvin once responded to the test question "Explain Newton's First Law of Motion in your own words" with, "Yakka foob mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork. Chumble spuzz."
- Another example in class:
- Calvin plays Monopoly with Hobbes and takes money from the bank. When Hobbes points out that there's no rule saying you can rob the bank, Calvin counters that there's no rule saying you can't rob the bank.
- Calvin lampshades the "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" sign on a restaurant by saying he's going to just walk in with no pants. Hobbes points out that he'd probably get a court summons.
- Common in FoxTrot:
Paige: Of course, I'll have to eat this entire loaf of banana bread to GET at the banana...
- Employed by Peter where he writes a book report three pages long in a massive font. Apparently, the teacher didn't say anything about font size.
- Paige and Jason ate all the cookies while blindfolded, so that they could answer no when their mother asked if they "saw what happened to the cookies". (Of course, they would have been screwed if she happened to word the question differently.)
- Paige asks if she can have a snack before dinner, Andy naturally says no, so Paige asks if she can have a banana, Andy says yes. Paige's response?
Peter:(when Jason pulls up a giant lump) I wondered why you put your bag near the radiator.
- Paige is allowed to have one scoop of ice cream... then takes all of the ice cream out of the box in 1 scoop. Having the entire Fox family use these kinds of loophole abuse is a Running Gag for the strip.
- Jason asks his mom if he can have his Halloween candy before dinner, specifically reassuring her he means ONE piece.
- Lampshaded in one strip where Andy is upset that Jason is playing a racing video game instead of setting the table like she asked him to. Jason had asked her to allow him to try the game "for a sec" - but he meant parsec, and had only traveled 46 of the 19.2 trillion miles Andy had "approved". At the end he is grumpily setting the table complaining, "Well, I'd call it a valid loophole!"
- When Jason asks his parents if Marcus can come over, he realizes he's been put in a loop of "ask your mother/father" and has to consult a logic textbook.
- The Pointy-Haired Boss in Dilbert once instituted a company policy where each bug fixed would earn the fixer a $10 bonus. However, there was no rule against adding new bugs for the sole purpose of fixing them.
- In Scott Adams's first book, The Dilbert Principle, he notes that this strip was based on an actual situation that a reader submitted. The submission noted that the result was an immediate "underground bug economy" and the program was scrapped after one employee got a $1700 bonus the first week.)
- Happens often in Garfield:
Jon: Do not damage the new couch!(Destruction sound effects)Jon: Destroyed everything but the couch right?
- In one strip where the eponymous cat is on a diet, he invokes this trope when he realizes a cake is carrot cake.
- The time Jon tried to teach Garfield self-control. He left a box of kitty treats in the room Garfield was in, telling him not to touch it. He left the room, then reentered a short while later. Garfield took everything out of the room except the box.
- Even more audacious when Garfield was on another diet and Jon told him "You may have a salad." Garfield promptly helped himself to some pork chops, and when Jon called him out he claimed that no one had ever told him that pork chops were not a salad!
- And once again: "This salad needs something. I think I'll garnish it. With a ham!" *wham*
- And yet again (Garfield does this all the time, and Jon knows it):
Jon: Techinically a vegetableGarfield: All right, loophole boy!
- When Liz tells Jon he and Garfield need at least one vegetable on their shopping list, Jon writes "onion rings".
- In Peanuts, Lucy often uses this trope to trick Charlie Brown into kicking the football. The format is as follows:
Lucy: I'll hold the ball and you come running and kick it.Charlie Brown: I'm not falling for that again!Lucy: <insert apparently airtight promise here> (e.g. "Here's a signed document, testifying that I promise not to pull it away.")Charlie Brown: <words to the effect of "Okay, I guess you mean it this time."> (e.g. "It is signed! It's a signed document. I guess if you have a signed document in your possession, you can't go wrong. This year I'm really gonna kick that football.")[Lucy pulls the football away yet again]Lucy: <insert explanation of the loophole she left herself> (e.g. "Peculiar thing about this document — it wasn't ever notarized.")

We may connect to MongoDB by utilizing the
mongoose.connect() method.
This is the minimum needed to connect the
myapp database running locally on the default port (27017). If the local connection fails then try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Sometimes issues may arise when the local hostname has been changed.
We may also specify several more parameters in the
uri depending on your environment:
See the mongodb connection string spec for more detail.
Operation Buffering
Mongoose lets you start using your models immediately, without waiting for mongoose to establish a connection to MongoDB.
var MyModel = mongoose.model('Test', new Schema({ name: String }));
// Works
MyModel.findOne(function(error, result) { /* ... */ });
That's because mongoose buffers model function calls internally. This buffering is convenient, but also a common source of confusion. Mongoose will not throw any errors by default if you use a model without connecting.
var MyModel = mongoose.model('Test', new Schema({ name: String }));
// Will just hang until mongoose successfully connects
MyModel.findOne(function(error, result) { /* ... */ });
setTimeout(function() {
}, 60000);
To disable buffering, turn off the
bufferCommands option on your schema.
If you have
bufferCommands on and your connection is hanging, try turning
bufferCommands off to see if you haven't opened a connection properly.
connect method also accepts an
options object which will be passed on to the underlying driver. All options included here take precedence over options passed in the connection string.
mongoose.connect(uri, options);
The following option keys are available:
db - passed to the [underlying driver's db instance](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/Db.html)
server - passed to the [underlying driver's server instance(s)](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/Server.html)
replset - passed to the [underlying driver's ReplSet instance](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/ReplSet.html)
user - username for authentication (if not specified in uri)
pass - password for authentication (if not specified in uri)
auth - options for authentication
mongos - passed to the [underlying driver's mongos options](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/Mongos.html)
promiseLibrary - sets the [underlying driver's promise library](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/MongoClient.html)
var options = {
db: { native_parser: true },
server: { poolSize: 5 },
replset: { rs_name: 'myReplicaSetName' },
user: 'myUserName',
pass: 'myPassword'
mongoose.connect(uri, options);
The server option
auto_reconnect is defaulted to true which can be overridden.
The db option
forceServerObjectId is set to false which cannot be overridden.
See the driver for more information about available options.
auto_reconnect is on, mongoose will give up trying to reconnect after a certain number of failures. Set the
server.reconnectTries and
server.reconnectInterval options to increase the number of times mongoose will try to reconnect.
// Good way to make sure mongoose never stops trying to reconnect
mongoose.connect(uri, { server: { reconnectTries: Number.MAX_VALUE } });
connect() function also accepts a callback parameter and returns a promise.
mongoose.connect(uri, options, function(error) {
// Check error in initial connection. There is no 2nd param to the callback.
// Or using promises
mongoose.connect(uri, options).then(
() => { /** ready to use. The `mongoose.connect()` promise resolves to undefined. */ },
err => { /** handle initial connection error }
Connection String Options
Mongoose supports the following options in the connection string.
- ssl
- poolSize
- autoReconnect
- socketTimeoutMS
- connectTimeoutMS
- authSource
- retries
- authMechanism
- reconnectWait
- rs_name
- replicaSet
- nativeParser
- w
- journal
- wtimeoutMS
- readPreference
- readPreferenceTags
- sslValidate
A note about keepAlive
For long running applications, it is often prudent to enable
with a number of milliseconds. Without it, after some period of time
you may start to see
"connection closed" errors for what seems like
no reason. If so, after
reading this,
you may decide to enable
options.server.socketOptions = options.replset.socketOptions = { keepAlive: 120 };
mongoose.connect(uri, options);
Replica Set Connections
To connect to a replica set you pass a comma delimited list of hosts to connect to rather than a single host.
mongoose.connect('mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[database][?options]]' [, options]);
To connect to a single node replica set, specify the
replicaSet option.
Multi-mongos support
High availability over multiple
mongos instances is also supported. Pass a connection string for your
mongos instances and set the
mongos option to true:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://mongosA:27501,mongosB:27501', { mongos: true }, cb);
Multiple connections
So far we've seen how to connect to MongoDB using Mongoose's default connection. At times we may need multiple connections open to Mongo, each with different read/write settings, or maybe just to different databases for example. In these cases we can utilize
mongoose.createConnection() which accepts all the arguments already discussed and returns a fresh connection for you.
var conn = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[database][?options]]', options);
This connection object is then used to create and retrieve models. Models are always scoped to a single connection.
Connection pools
connection, whether created with
mongoose.connect or
mongoose.createConnection are all backed by an internal configurable connection pool defaulting to a size of 5. Adjust the pool size using your connection options:
// single server
var uri = 'mongodb://localhost/test';
mongoose.createConnection(uri, { server: { poolSize: 4 }});
// for a replica set
mongoose.createConnection(uri, { replset: { poolSize: 4 }});
// passing the option in the URI works with single or replica sets
var uri = 'mongodb://localhost/test?poolSize=4';
Next Up
Now that we've covered
connections, let's take a look at how we can break pieces of our functionality out into reusable and shareable plugins.

How To Get An IDL Easily For Traveling
An International Driving License (IDL) is proof that you have a valid driver's license in your Native country, and it allows licensed drivers to drive in more than 150 countries without the need to complete further applications or testing.
IDL is not a Substitute or Replace of a Government issued IDL, but An official Translation. It is not valid for driving where it was issued and not permitted to those who are holding Learner License or other limited/restricted use licenses, issued under the directive of a State Court of Law and to those who are less than 18 years age whether he/she holds License or not would not be accepted.
The IDP is valid only when carried in co-occurrence with and acts as a translation of a driver's license. If a person traveling in a foreign country and were to be stopped by a law enforcement officer, the driver license (issued in native country) and IDP should be presented to the officer. Note that you can make the application online. Online applications are advantageous because of convenience since you do not have to leave your home or office and because you can apply whenever you want, anonymity since all communication and transactions are online, and cost benefits because you do not need to travel. You should research on whether the country you are visiting is among these 150 countries and if it is not, research on what the country requires you to drive there. It is important to have this license if you are a United States citizen because a U.S. driver license is only acceptable in Canada and western European countries.
The mission of IDL Service is to protect the lives and interests of International Motorists overseas and to strengthen the rights and identity of International Drivers License cardholders.. IDL Service provides the International Drivers License that enables individuals to travel internationally and stands ready to lend a helping hand when people fall in various situations and obstacles in other countries. We make decisions and take actions every day that form key turning points in people's lives. We have no higher responsibility than safeguarding personal identity, and we are determined to carry out this responsibility in the best and most effective manner possible.
About IDL Service:
IDL Service offers International Drivers. Now one can easily drive in different territories without experiencing difficulties. For more information please visit IDL Service website.

Cell Phones in School: Contraband or a Classroom Tool
Some teachers worry that cell phones will increase cheating, lead to sexting, decrease use of proper grammar, and be a distraction to learning. While I can't disprove these concerns, I can state that educating students about responsible and purposeful cell phone use is needed. What agitates me most about schools banning cell phones outright is that they are missing out on an opportunity for growth, collaboration, information, and FREE technology.
Increasing costs and disappearing school funding has made updating technology often impossible and even basic school supplies dwindle. Challenging times require teachers to get creative. Schools across the country need to realize that the technology of the future is already in students' back pockets, falling out of their skinny jeans, or officially "in their lockers." How long will it take schools to realize that banning cell phones is not the answer? Why should cell phones be allowed in schools?
I polled my students to discover that 95% of my 8th graders owned a cell phone and 55% had smart phones. My students are not just making calls, texting, and updating Facebook. They are making social connections, collaborating, researching, and sharing information.
Schools across the country need to be more flexible with their cell phone policies. Cell phones can replace reference books, flip cameras, calculators, cameras, student planners, instant response devices, and so much more. They can save schools money and enhance instruction if done in an appropriate way.
With administrative and parental approval, I use a program called Cel.ly to send text messages to my students with reminders, announcements, polls, questions, etc.
Students can text me and ask me a specific question such as "what is on the test tomorrow?" or ask "what did I miss in class?" when I was sick. Cell phones have the potential to bridge the gap between the home, school, and social media world.
Frequent communication with parents is a necessity, but newsletters, classroom emails, and letters home to parents are becoming outdated. Last fall at South Western High School in Hanover, Pennsylvania, I encouraged parents to join my text messaging classroom group. I was surprised with the results. Of my 55 US history students, 35 of their parents participated. Parents commented that they appreciated the text message reminders about homework & tests, updates about their child's progress, and even the in class texting activities. Parents are now more informed about how their kids are doing and are better able to help their children with their schooling, which is key to student success.
One activity in which I involved parents and cell phones I like to call "text a friend." My students' assignment was to text a family member or friend asking the question "Did you vote in the last election? Why or why not?" Through the responses they received they learned firsthand far more than just having the textbook or teacher's perspective. Cell phones truly brings the world into your classroom.
For More Information: Here is a previous blog post about the ways cell phones can enhance instruction in the classroom. Here is a post about 10 educational apps that can be used in the classroom. Melissa Seideman, is an 8th Grade Social Studies Teacher in White Plains New York. She is the author of a History and Technology blog called Not Another History Teacher.
Despite its impact on various aspects of society, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education have seen an overall decline in the United States during the last two decades. STEM is a pivotal part of the American economy, but student interest and performance in these key subjects is falling. In an effort to ensure that today's children become tomorrow's STEM leaders, each state has devised its own initiatives to promote STEM education. To this end, the state of Georgia has enacted several programs that aim to improve STEM instruction…
Between 26 states applying for waivers of federal regulations imposed by the No Child Left Behind Act and the wide release of controversial teacher data reports in New York City, this has been a very busy week in the world of education. Here are a few of the top stories:

Welcome to the PlayStation Community prasanthkumarg.
The PS3 comes with one controller (DS3), you will require a second controller if you want a second person to be able to play with you, it can play Blu-Ray movies out of the box, no other setup required, as for space that depends on the model PS3 you get, they come in differering sizes of HDD.
As for other accessories, if you going to be using a HDTV then I suggest you get a HDMI cable, the only cables in the box are the old yellow, white, green ones, then there's also the PS Move accessories if you're into that & the PS Eye too, which can be purchased seperately or as part of a Move bumdle.
Hope this helped.

Re: Buying PS3
Also, a blu-tooth or wired USB headset if you want to take advantage of the ability to talk to other people in online games that most titles support these days.
Re: Buying PS3
Also you might want to get a bluetooth keyboard. That will help in Playstation Home and for posting on the forums with your PS3. (I am posting this with my PS3 and using my Logitec bluetooth keyboard).
And you might want to get a USB storage device (One with FAT32 format and 2.0 USB) so you can back-up your PS3 data (gamesaves, video, photos, music....etc)

So by default , Blue ray is comming with the PS3 right ? could you please suggest some PS3 latest devices ? with high configurations ? (good to play 2 members together ? ) which includes HDMI,keyboard etc etc .
Thanks again for helping
Correct, ALL PS3's are able to play Blu-Ray movies, & 3D movies too right out of the box, you'll require a 3D TV to play 3D movies & like i said you'll want to get an HDMI cable if you're using an HDTV.
Here's a link to the official Sony PS3 keyboard:
Here's a link to the PS EYE:
Pretty much any HDMI cable will serve your needs, there's no need to purchase one of those over-priced Monster ones for $50.00, a lot if us have HDMI cables that cost only $5.00 or $10.00 each.
Check out this link for more information on the PS MOVE Items available for purchase.
Lastly check out this link for headsets etc:
Again I hope this helped, if it didn't answer all your needs the let us know & we'll try to help some more.
P.S. I hate to want to throw a spanner in your plans so to speak, but the PS4 is coming out this Christmas, it wil supersede the PS3 in some ways & in turn that will likely mean that the nearer we get to release date the cost of some PS3 items will likely drop!
Just saying!

Re: Buying PS3
Buy two controllers, Ethernet cord (if you have a plug in slot for one), Blu-ray remote (if you watch a lot of movies). You don't need to purchase any extra charge stations because u can charge the controllers via usb through the ps3 but the console has to be on while you plug charge.

Re: Buying PS3
The Blu-ray disc drive is standard in all PS3's. All retail games are on blu-ray and you can play and BR movie in the PS3. Every PS3 comes with a PS3 dualshock 3. You can always buy an extra one though if you want. Or get a PS3 game bundle that comes with an extra controller. You'll also want an extra long USB cable for charging your controllers while playing. You will also need to buy the HDMI cable seperately for playing games in HD. I also highly reccomend buying Sony's Bluetooth headset 2.0. The system does not include a headset for online communication and you'll need one. Now, Most PS3's come with a fairly big HDD. But you can upgrade your HDD up to 1 T. Just buy a notebook serial ata HDD from any computer store and BOOM, you have a bigger HDD. Or keep the HDD that's already in the PS3, your choice. Finally, there's Playstation move. It's Sony's motion controller. It's accuate and has both casual and core games that support it. It's optional hardware, but worth considereing. Other than that, get get games. The PS3 has a soliod 1st party line-upo and is supported extremely well with 3rd party games. There's also digital games you can buy off the PS store and arcade games. So, have fun!

February 14, 2017Reviewer: A customer in Texas* This is the best grain-free granola I have ever had. I order several bags at a time from Netrition because it's so much cheaper than Whole Foods. My favorite flavor is the original, which is a nutty mix but has a few cranberries in there. Next best are Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie, although the flavors are pretty mild and very good. Pina Colada had too much coconut for me (but real coconut; I'm just not a huge coconut person) and I haven't tried the chocolate or maple. This granola packs a lot of calories per serving, has a healthy dose of fat, and it's great in yogurt and cereal, or even on it's own. I eat it probably 3x a week. And it's not too sweet, which is a nice change for low-carb granola! All real products, no weird sweeteners, and so good. Fits in well with my low-carb diet. So glad Netrition carries this!This review is specific to Grain Free Granola, Original
