Thank all that is good for Turner instead of Udoh!!!
I can't wait to get my Turner jersey.
No. 12? Should be 20 or 22 (or 1). Guess it's because it's the reverse of 21. Whatever. I'm pumped. Collins is going to cultivate his passion for the game and help him expand it. They seem perfect for each other.
(Has anybody worn 22 since Toney?)
Great news, Zoubek wasn't drafted. 100% guaranteed they bring him in for a workout.
and an 80% guarantee that they don't sign him (or any other undrafted free agent) but use him as summer league filler.
The fact that the Sixers couldn't buy or trade back into this draft and get a big man was really disappointing. Don't like Turner wearing 12 though. Would have prefered #1, #2, or make Thad give up #21.
Talked to brian Z a little while back. Pretty sure he is gonna explore his options in europe. He wasn't expecting to get drafted and he'll get paid better over there. He said once his game developes and he gets some experience against bigger bodies than NCAA ball he might make the move to nba ball but it'll prob begin as a euro career. He said he'll do his due diligence though and see what the nba options are first though as his family is obviously in south jersey and he would like to stay stateside if its the right fit. Smart kid. Had an A average in highschool and ruled the hallways looking down at all tw cute Irish ctholic girls in haddonfield. Probably saw a few of em on their knees too while he was looking down there as well. Popular guy in a small town at a school that he brought multiple nj state championships to haha.
"Probably saw a few of em on their knees too while he was looking down there as well."
You mean kneeling during confession, right?
Haddonfield Memorial is a public school
Anyone who wears the same number worn by Royal Ivey is fine with me. I can't wait to see him in summer league.
Breaking news: Chili's will be replaced by McDonald's as Comcast's next penny pinching move.
In all seriousness though, welcome to the team Evan. My disappointment stems from the team doing nothing else on this draft night. The pick of Turner gives us someone we can pencil in at the 2 guard for 10 years. Last time we did that, the guy was pretty damn good.
This franchise will spend if people actually come out to the games. I'm just hoping next season they can fill up the joint most nights. I can't really gauge how excited the city actually is about ET at this point. Most of Philadelphia hasn't watched a Sixers game in 5 years
I think it's going to be a show me type of deal. The hard core fans that may have been chased away by EFJ will probably come back, so we're probably looking at a baseline somewhere around last season's attendance numbers, but the average fan won't come out until either (a) turner starts scoring a ton of points and gets on sportscenter every night or (b) the team really starts winning.
This franchise will spend if people actually come out to the games
And people won't come out to the games until the team starts winning which will require INVESTMENT from the ownership.
What do Kyrylo Fesenko, Paccelis Morlende, Sam Clancy, Jr., Damone Brown, Alvin Jones and Mark Karcher all have in common? They are 6 of the last 7 picks the Sixers made in the 2nd Round (the other was Sweet Lou). In other words, don't get too bummed out about no 2nd round pick. They hardly ever amount to anything.
Gilbert Areanas
Carlos Boozer
Monta Ellis
Louis Williams
Kyle Korver

Small Sample size is awesome
i wanted them to buy a pick and get Daniel Orton, Solomon Aliabi, or Hassan Whiteside (a Dalembert clone if I've ever seen one). But whatever. I heard The Russian Team from Jersey wanted to trade Favors cause they wanna win now (no really they do) and he's a project. I'll drive Iggy to Newark.

Absolute pleasure, if not a bit busy: Carnival Fascination Cruise Review by ButchKin
Overall Member Rating
Absolute pleasure, if not a bit busy
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Jacksonville
Last week, the five of us road tripped to Jacksonville from the Washington DC area (saving a couple grand in airfare). We departed on Saturday, stayed in Jacksonville on Sunday, and departed Monday for the cruise. On Sunday, we visited Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine which is about 45 minutes away. There are plenty of family-friendly hotels and restaurants in Jacksonville if you opt for this.
We'd done a lot of homework ahead of time and save a fortune by checking out Cruise Critic and Trip Advisor as well as some of the usual books from the library. I'll tell you what worked first:
1) Skip the Carnival Shore Excursions. In Key West, we took the Old Town Trolley tour, but bought our tickets at a kiosk a short walk from the ship. $19 each and the kids were free. So $40 for a family More of five compared to about $150 if we'd bought identical tickets on the boat. In Nassau we followed the advice of many and rented a room for a night across the street from Atlantis at the Comfort Suites which got you 4 passes to use all the waterpark facilities at Atlantis (except for the dolphin swim). This was easier than we expected. We still had to buy one extra ticket for my third child at Atlantis, but that was $80 compared to $150 from the ship. So, total cost of Comfort Suites was $220 (with the government/military discount) plus $80 for addl ticket, plus $40 in cab fare = $340, plus $45 for lunch. We figured the Carnival Excursion price to be $789.75 (but you got a hot dog/chips/Coke from a surly attendent thrown in for that). So the key message is: shop around.
2) Bring your own soda/wine. It's annoying, but you can bring a 12-pack per person of soda, and a bottle of wine per adult on board. Saves you $6 bucks per day for the soda card and about $8 a glass for wine. Speaking of drinks, if you decide to go for the $7.50 (or more) cocktail in the funky plastic glass, make sure to hide it when you're done. Otherwise, the happy cruise people will be on you like white on rice to get you to buy more. Bartenders in the actual bars tend to make better drinks.
3) Go see Jay host karaoke in the Passage to India. He's a hoot. The rest of the shows including the comedians and the nightly show in the theater were adequate. The "family comedy" show was PG-rated, but I think most of the jokes would have flown over my kids' heads (11, 9, 7).
4) We got two rooms across the hall from each other which was a better deal than a suite and we got two bathrooms that way. Felt very safe on board and having my kids out and about. We did buy Walkie Talkies which worked pretty much throughout the ship.
5) Take a power strip! You only get one outlet per room and if you want to recharge your digital camera, charge your cell phone, whatever, you'll want the extra power. We brought nightlights for each room, but probably didn't need them.
6) I read a thousand suggestions on extra stuff you should take and I took a lot I didn't or couldn't use: clothespins (just hung swimsuits on the line in the shower), magnets (nothing metal really), over-the-door shoe holder (couldn't get it to hang on any door, and didn't really need it anyway), dress slacks for dinner each night (outside of formal night, you'll wear shorts - everyone else does), speakers for my Ipod (never used them).
7) Stuff I did take and I'm glad I did: flashlights, first-aid kit (stubbed my toe at Atlantis and needed a couple of bandaids and some neosporin), duct tape (seriously), name badge holders and lanyards from Staples (to keep track of our Sign & Sail cards -- very handy), extra sunscreen (you can never bring too much and it costs a fortune on board or in Atlantis), cash (you'll need singles for tips here and there), a waterproof wallet like the ones they sell in major sporting goods stores (I brought two and used them both. They hang around your neck and you always know they're there), Bonine (whole family save me got one as we left Jacksonville into a bumpy night).
8) Stuff I wish I'd brought, or brought more of: Water shoes for Atlantis (no one wants to keep track of flip-flops between water slides and lazy river, but you can seriously burn your feet on the pavement just walking around if you're not very careful), few bottles of water (water taste was hit/miss on boat), a DVD player with some DVDs (my daughter was sea sick for about 12 hours and while there is a TV, the channel choice was limited. There are RCA -- red, yellow, white -- jacks on the back of all the TVs so you can plug in your own, or you can bring a stand-alone DVD player or game console -- remember your power strip and maybe an extension cord). You'll also want an alarm clock (I couldn't get anyone to answer for the Wake-Up Call on board and cell phones seem to mysteriously change time -- mine reset to 1999 -- once you leave Florida. They warn you about this onboard, but there's a certain Bermuda Triangle vibe to the whole thing).
9) Read the stuff they give you on the boat each day -- there are some cool activities listed there that you might not otherwise know about.
10) If you're driving, here's a parking tip -- there's a guy named Alex who has bought an old convenience store at the foot of the drive to the dock in Jacksonville. He parks cars in the fenced lot for $5 a day vs the $15 a day you pay for at the port parking lot. Then he drives you right to the front door in a van to unload your luggage, and you don't have to schlep your bags across the vast parking lot at the port. Google "Jacksonville Cruise Parking" and you'll find him. He advertises $10 per day, or $8 per day, but when you make a reservation, he'll give it to you for $5 a day. Car was very safe and secure there.
11) Don't miss out on the dining room. Sure, it may seem formal for some, but the food there was the best on the ship. The Coconut Grove buffet and the various grills are adequate, but certainly not stellar. Skip the line for the Mongolian grill. And if you're looking for a burger, hot dog or chicken strip, there's a center line next to the Mongolian line which no one seems to know about and you can skip the long line on the left and grab your burger and fries quickly.
I know that's a lot of info, hope you can make some use of it! Bon Voyage! Less

Cabin review: 6AU121 Ocean View
We had two rooms, U127 (interior) and U121 (exterior with window), for five people. Three kids got the interior room and Mom and Dad got the king bed in the exterior. Both rooms were very clean, if a little spartan. And cleaned each day and straightened each night (new towels, turn-down service) In each room, closets were roomy and there was enough room to walk around the bed. There are two small chests of drawers -- one in one closet, the other as part of the desk/dressing table. We stowed the luggage under the beds to get it out of the way. Bed quality was actually quite good -- nice firm mattress. There's a desk/dressing table with a stool, another desk-type chair, and a very small side table, but that's it for furniture. There's large dressing mirror in the bedroom and another in the bathroom. The kid's room had two full-size twin beds in a L shape, and the third bed on the other wall making it into an upside down U shape. I'm not sure if we had the "rollaway" or the "trundle", but it was smaller, closer to the floor, but our 7-year-old didn't mind. I would think it would be tough to cram three adults into the space. The bathroom had a toilet and shower stall. There was a fair amount of integrated shelf space in the bathroom along with a shampoo and shower gel dispenser. There was one outlet in the bathroom which worked intermittently. We brought our own hair dryer and plugged it into the power strip we also brought. There's no hair dryer provided. We were not too far from the guest "launderette" which had four washers and four dryers. Each load was $3 to wash, $3 to dry (bring lotsa quarters) and then they sold detergent/softener from another machine. There were also ironing boards/irons available here. I did not notice any long wait for a washer. There are at least two, maybe three, launderettes on board. Hallways were busy most of the day, but there's a lot of closet space, bathroom between bed and door/hallway, so outside noise was never a real problem. On one occasion, I did hear a number of young people running up and down the hallway and laughing around midnight, but it quieted quickly. If you're expecting a library, don't. Generally, linens were nice (very clean) and they provide two beach towels per room as well as pool towels. You can take the towels off the ship, but you have to bring them back or they charge you $22. We brought our own beach towels, but I don't think they came out of the bag. Atlantis also provides pool towels, by the way.Read All Ocean View (6A) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Against better judgment and advice of a lot of folks on TripAdvisor, we did have lunch at Sloppy Joes. We were dog-tired in the heat and I wasn't going to have the fight with my kids on why we were having Cuban food. It just wasn't worth it to me. Sure, it's touristy. Sure, the food's not cheap. Sure, it's unrefined. But you're on vacation on a Carnival cruise! If you're not expecting a five-star experience, you won't be disappointed. The margaritas were terrific. The food was tasty. They had a guy playing guitar (beachy-type music you'd expect) and at noon on a Wednesday, the place was packed.
Bought a requisite number of t-shirts and souvenirs around KW. There's a Walgreens on Duval if you need something from a drug store, and it's very lush and tropical. So nice to visit. Not sure I could make a week out of it, but good for a day or two. We didn't do any of the museums. Didn't look as if any of them would be worth the $12-$15 to hold kids' interest more than a short amount of time.
1) It's immense! No matter where you want to go, there's a lot of walking.
2) Some of the staff were wonderful, others could best be described as surly. One individual began closing down the pool area a full hour before the pool actually closed and got quite bent and admonished me quite rudely when I pulled the chair I'd been sitting in out of line to move it into the shade.
3) Get a map. It's easy to get lost and/or to miss something. I wish we'd planned our day better and spent less time at the lazy river and more at the aquarium.
4) From the ship, you're ushered into a portside building with some vendors' stalls and a couple of snack bar-looking places. Then outside to a cab. From there you're whisked across town to Paradise Island which looks more like Florida than Haiti. But beware, stores close early (think 5 p.m. or 6 p.m.), so if you want souvenirs, get em early or the stores may be closed.

Your brother is acquainted with the Wasungu (white men), and knows that what they promise they make good.
Old English macian "to make, form, construct, do; prepare, arrange, cause; behave, fare, transform," from West Germanic *makon "to fashion, fit" (cf. Old Saxon makon, Old Frisian makia "to build, make," Middle Dutch and Dutch maken, Old High German mahhon "to construct, make," German machen "to make"), from PIE *mag- "to knead, mix; to fashion, fit" (see macerate). If so, sense evolution perhaps is via prehistoric houses built of mud. Gradually replaced the main Old English word, gewyrcan (see work (v.)).
Meaning "to arrive at" (a place), first attested 1620s, originally was nautical. Formerly used in many places where specific verbs now are used, e.g. to make Latin (c.1500) "to write Latin compositions." This broader usage survives in some phrases, e.g. to make water "to urinate," to make a book "arrange a series of bets" (1828), make hay "to turn over mown grass to expose it to sun." Make the grade is 1912, perhaps from the notion of railway engines going up an incline.
Read the valuable suggestions in Dr. C.V. Mosby's book -- be prepared to surmount obstacles before you encounter them -- equipped with the power to "make the grade" in life's climb. [advertisement for "Making the Grade," December 1916]But the phrase also was in use in a schoolwork context at the time. Make do "manage with what is available" is attested from 1867. Make time "go fast" is 1849; make tracks in this sense is from 1834. To make a federal case out of (something) popularized in 1959 movie "Anatomy of a Murder;" to make an offer (one) can't refuse is from Mario Puzo's 1969 novel "The Godfather." To make (one's) day is from 1909; menacing make my day is from 1971, popularized by Clint Eastwood in film "Sudden Impact" (1983). Related: Made; making.
"match, mate, companion" (now archaic or dialectal), from Old English gemaca "mate, equal; one of a pair, comrade; consort, husband, wife," from Proto-Germanic *gamakon-, related to Old English gemæcc "well-matched, suitable," macian "to make" (see make (v.)). Meaning "manner in which something is made, design, construction" is from c.1300. Phrase on the make "intent on profit or advancement" is from 1869.
Old English gōd "that which is good, goodness; advantage, benefit; gift; virtue; property;" from good (adj.).
Old English god (with a long "o") "virtuous; desirable; valid; considerable," probably originally "having the right or desirable quality," from Proto-Germanic *gothaz (cf. Old Norse goðr, Dutch goed, Old High German guot, German gut, Gothic goþs), originally "fit, adequate, belonging together," from PIE root *ghedh- "to unite, be associated, suitable" (cf. Old Church Slavonic godu "pleasing time," Russian godnyi "fit, suitable," Old English gædrian "to gather, to take up together"). As an expression of satisfaction, from early 15c.; of children, "well-behaved," by 1690s.
Irregular comparatives (better, best) reflect a widespread pattern, cf. Latin bonus, melior, optimus. Good-for-nothing is from 1711. Good looking is attested from 1780 (good looks by c.1800). Good sport, of persons, is from 1906; good to go is attested from 1989. The good book "the Bible" attested from 1801, originally in missionary literature describing the language of conversion efforts in American Indian tribes.
Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing. ["As You Like It"]
verb phrase
To succeed; do what one set out to do in career or life (1899+)

Music Courses at New River Community College
Music Course 121 - 35 Music Appreciation (Online Course)
Many of us spend our life listening to music, whether aware or unaware. Music surrounds us, fills the airwaves and influences us in so many ways. What is the definition of music? After all, what is "music" to one's ears may not be music to another's. Where does music come from? Why does music sound the way it does? How is the music of today linked to the past? Why should pop musicians be grateful to Bach?
This class provides an overall understanding of music, an overall appreciation for its past, present and potential future. Music has always had an impact on its listeners and has been used to promote the ideals of different civilizations. Like architecture, literature and art, music has evolved over the centuries…a living mirror and history of man's evolution and philosophy which has the power to reveal to our "modern" ears the sounds of the past: mysticism, reverence, love, passion, joy, sorrow and celebration…
Come and share this common musical thread and discover how much we have in common with those of long ago. It is in understanding this past that we can put into perspective our musical present.

The rapidity of nitrification also depends on the degree of alkalinity of the solution.
They will be fully discussed in the chapter on nitrification.
The evidence for the ferment theory of nitrification is now very complete.
The presence of moisture in the soil is necessary for the process of nitrification to take place.
Sodium hydrogen carbonate hinders far less the commencement of nitrification.
This explanation will be understood in the light of what we have already described in regard to "nitrification."
During a period of drought the rate at which nitrification takes place will, therefore, be apt to be seriously diminished.
In the Rothamsted Laboratory, experiments have also been made on the nitrification of solutions of various substances.
He also showed that metabiosis played an important part in nitrification.
nitrification proceeds far more rapidly in summer than winter.
1827, from French nitrification (1787, de Morveau), from nitrifier (1777), from nitre (see nitre).
nitrification ni·tri·fi·ca·tion (nī'trə-fĭ-kā'shən)
The oxidation of an ammonia compound into nitric acid, nitrous acid, or any nitrate or nitrite, especially by the action of bacteria.
The treatment or combination of a substance with nitrogen or compounds containing nitrogen.
The process by which bacteria in soil and water oxidize ammonia and ammonium ions and form nitrites and nitrates. Because the nitrates can be absorbed by more complex organisms, as by the roots of green plants, nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle.

New Cost Estimate for Economic Stimulus/Spending Bill
The Congressional Budget Office has produced a cost estimate for the conference agreement on H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – the version of the bill being debated in both the House and the Senate today.
Our number crunching comes up with the following results: The bill costs the average U.S. family about $3,300, and it raises the national debt by about $7,700 per family.
Let's go through that.
The bill spends about $5,500 per family, or $1,750 per person.
It reduces taxes by about $2,200 per family, or $700 per person.
Total cost (using our methodology): $3,300 per family, or $1,050 per person.
Added to national debt: $7,700 per family, or $2,450 per person
These are net present value figures. That means the value today of the spending and tax reductions in the future. In terms of spending, for example, it's the amount you would have to put in the bank today to fund spending over the next ten years (which is as far as the cost estimate goes). And for tax reductions, it's the value today of tax savings that will accrue over the next ten years.

It includes: . Bitmap heap scans (as before) . Index scans . Setting POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL for bulk sequential scans . Improved (ie, debugged) autoconf tests for posix_fadvise (and posix_fallocate though I don't have any code using it yet) The bitmap heap scans are still prefetching the number of buffers I estimate based on effective_spindle_count according to my magic formula. We've been discussing throwing that out, I just haven't modified this to do that yet. Index scans prefetch all pages for matching index tuples on the leaf page when we do page-at-a-time scans. I haven't bothered doing the gradual ramp-up or keeping a ring of the optimal size prefetched. The sequential scan stuff is based on Zoltan's posts but done in a different way. It passes an i/o access strategy to smgr and fd.c which keeps track of what the previous strategy was and calls posix_fadvise if it's changed. This will correctly handle queries which reference the same table twice even if one reference is a sequential scan and the other is an index lookup. I have *not* been able to observe any significant effect from POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL but I'm not sure what circumstances it was a problem. It sounds like it's a peculiar situation which is not easy to reliably reproduce.

The singer, whose real name is Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr., falls for a woman and is determined to win her heart.
Lloyd has just debuted a music video for his single "Cupid". In this clip, the R&B crooner is seen enjoying his bachelor life before he meets a woman who captures his heart. " 'Cupid' is about optimism, the optimism that love brings. The idea of forever, of infinity, it's the best day of my life," he said.
"It's that feeling of first falling for someone, they way it makes you feel and the optimism that love brings," he once also said. "It just feels like everything can be okay, like love can make everything better and last forever. It's a very intimate feeling that we hope for."
"Cupid" is recorded for Lloyd's upcoming studio album "King of Hearts". Back in September 2009, he gushed, "I'm working with Lil Wayne again, Jim Jonsin, Young Jeezy, Keri Hilson, Cool & Dre, and Rick Ross."

Sofia (AFP) Feb 5, 2016
Faced with an ageing fleet, Bulgaria's parliament on Friday voted in favour of a controversial law amendment granting NATO jets the authority to help protect its airspace.
The vote passed by 96 to 34 after a heated debate among lawmakers.
Bulgaria's opposition, made up of socialists and ultra-nationalists, had been highly critical of the proposal, calling it "a violation of national sovereignty".
"The protection of the airspace will either be ensured by the Bulgarian army on its own or in collaboration with the armed forces of allied countries," the amended defence law now reads.
The move came just months after neighbouring Romania also gave NATO the right to safeguard its airspace.
As a NATO member, Bulgaria has an obligation to keep at least one squadron of 12 planes in good fighting order.
But currently only four of its 19 Soviet-built MiG-29 fighter planes are still in good working condition.
Despite strong opposition from Moscow, Sofia signed a deal with Warsaw last year to repair six of the jets in Poland, with the aim to reduce dependency on Russia.

Letters: Housing allowance ruling
- February 3, 2014
- By Staff / Baptist Standard
'Parsonage allowance' called unconstitutional
Tax and legal scholars for decades have noted the unconstitutional character of IRC 107—the ministers' "parsonage allowance." If "ministers" think they are being unfairly treated, one reason might be because of their unconstitutional affections for special treatment, such as is provided by IRC 107.
When Rick Warren's housing allowance case was before the 9th Circuit, and the 9th Circuit, on its own initiative, thought to take up the constitutional issue, Warren and his political machine were able to put an end to that by getting Congress and the president to quickly pass legislation mooting the case and preserving all that is wrong with IRC 107.
Then Sen. Chuck Grassley had his years' long investigation of million-dollar ministries which identified various problems with IRC 107. Rather than act, Grassley farmed out the thinking about it to his religious friends. No surprise; his friends told him, and by implication Congress and the president, to keep their hands off of IRC 107, and so they did.
Now comes the Freedom from Religion Foundation to prosecute the cause. Judge Crabb got it right.
May her ruling be sustained by the 7th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Gays, marriage & church
Gay marriage is not without irony and paradox. Jesus Christ created the marriage of one man and one woman for life, which created the foundation of our society, the family.
Gays now want to participate in this Christian institution, which strictly forbids homosexuality. They want to be legitimate to get benefits like health insurance at work.
I was once told by a co-worker, "Hate the sin; love the sinner." Let them have their civil marriages but stay out of church.
Fred Rosenbaum
The baby's interest
I wonder why it seemed cruel to some people to keep Marlise Munoz on life support to give her baby a chance to live.
It is true life support could no longer benefit her, but neither would it have truly been a burden to her, while it would have given hope for the child. If it had been a burden to Munoz, I would see the point.
Granted, it would have been hard on her husband, who would have had to delay his grieving process until the baby was born, since the poor woman could not even have been buried. But that does not seem so impossibly difficult when there is another life that could have been preserved.
His interests or the baby's? The baby was important, too.

Self-aggrandizement in glass
The news that Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary will receive millions of dollars to create stained glass windows of fundamentalist "heroes" is a dose of hubris without parallel in Baptist life.
Dare we consider the true legacy of the faces who will peer over generations of students—a divided and polarized denomination, false accusations, firings and narrow creeds?
The simple words of Jesus, "Love one another," etched in simple block letters might do far more for the kingdom than this artistic self-aggrandizement ever will.
Larry Payne
'Begotten' by God
I found the message in "Life: Why Should I Trust the Bible?" interesting and educational. Word usage is indeed a fascinating study, and Leigh Powers made a significant point.
I, too, love words and often find it challenging to select the right words to convey exactly what I wish to say. I am often somewhat curious about why writers and speakers select certain words and phrases to express themselves. An example is a sermon I heard recently on John 3:16. The preacher read from the New International Version: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. …" Then, in verse 18m it again says, "… one and only Son."
I have been reborn and thus am a son of God.
The complete truth of "begotten" must not be eliminated. Jesus is totally God, but when he was sent to fulfill the plan for our salvation, he was totally man. Mary's pregnancy was physically real, just like our mothers'. His birth was like ours. His life as a baby, child and man was full of the same factors of growth and experiences as ours, with the glorious exception that he was begotten by God. He labored and sweated and bled just like us. In all ways, he encompassed the definition of man while at the same time being one with God by whom he was begotten by miraculous conception.

In Views versions prior to 6.x-2.13, it was possible to hide an empty field by checking the "hide when empty" checkbox. This worked as well when the field content was rewritten. Very intuitive, and simply an incredible powerful feature. I have spent the past thee weeks to develop a large number of Views which make heavy use of this feature. Since this worked even recursively (rewrite a rewritten field into another one, hide/replace segments if empty), it was to some degree even possible to write some kind of natural language sentences from database tokens.
In 6.x-2.14 this does not work anymore. If a field is empty and has been rewritten, the only the field content is "hidden" (which is anyway empty), but not the rewritten stuff around it. The new behaviour changes significantly how this feature works, and I consider this as a major regression since a previously existing functionality has been removed without warning (or understandable reason). Probably a lot of existing Views will break in nasty ways when the 6.x-2.14 release is being deployed.
For 6.x-3.x-dev there has been a lenghty request to add #1020540: Add a "Hide Rewriting if field is empty" option. I assume that the changes in 2.x came from the 3.x branch, and the (existing) fixes for the 3.x branch accidentally haven't made it into the 2.x branch.
However, please give us back the possibility to hide rewritten fields when they're empty!
Thank you!

Yeah this is quite a major bug so it should be fixed in the next views version. Just commited the patch from 6.x-3.x but this will be an exception, because 6.x-2.x is in a really stable status.
Comment #2izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I'm sorry but I am having difficulty understanding what is meant by comment #1.
Is this fix now also committed to the 6.x-2.x branch?
Comment #4Franz-m CreditAttribution: Franz-m commented
|» Needs work
this bug has hit me too (I relied heavily on the 'hiding')- and I did go directly from 2.12 to 2.14
this means I have to go back to 2.12 (or 2.13) for all my sites until a 6.x-2.15 is ready,
or is there a patch I can apply to 2.14 (I did not see it)?
Ok, #10 on parallel issue "Views doesn't respect hide field ..." indeed seems to help, does that count as fixed?

Comment #7purdy_nc CreditAttribution: purdy_nc commented
This also hit me hard on one of our sites, b/c we just need to know if the field is there and put a DIV there so we can do a background image (indicating that the story is a video). But now, all of our stories are marked as videos b/c the DIV isn't being removed.
Will this be folded into the 6.x-2.X branch? I haven't investigated the 3 branch yet...
Comment #8purdy_nc CreditAttribution: purdy_nc commented
Disregard my question ... I see you answered it & it's in the -dev branch.

Thanks, reswild & dereine! Works great! I just had to check the new "Do not rewrite if empty" checkbox.
Comment #13dawehner CreditAttribution: dawehner commented
You should better try to learn how to use patches :) Since git you should use patch -p1 < filename.patch instead of patch < which does patch -p0 < .
I'm sorry that some kind of bug came up, but you have to know that this new bug got introduced by fixing another bug.
So we provided a 2.13 version which just has the security patch applied, so people can update safe.
moving production sites to an unsupported development release (views-6.x-2.x-dev)
I'm thinking of adding the dev release again to the project page, because this seems to be a wrong sign, if people
think that the dev version is totally unsupported. Just the fact that i answer here shows the difference :)
plus manually editing every field in every View that might rewrite or hide anything
I agree, we have to change the default behavior, so here is a patch to do it. Please test with your new patch skills
the patch. Thanks!
I am not very happy with this as a new functionality is introduced in a stable branch, and the old functionality is changed; imho things like this should only happen between major version updates (like 1.x -> 2.x, or 2.x -> 3.x).
Personally i already apologized for the bug, but well you know it's not that you can't test the update, make backups etc.
Additional people shout for new features also on non-major updates, and you also don't want to disappoint them.
In general update scripts doesn't help here, because views aren't stored in the database all the times.

Update status.
Comment #16merlinofchaos CreditAttribution: merlinofchaos commented
Unfortunately the system is linear. It's pretty tough to have both releases available. Views 2.x-dev has been pretty stable for a long time. You're right, I'm very surprised that this bug has been in -dev for a long time. I think we are running into the fact that the people who work on Views now consider the 2.x branch a bit of a red-headed step child and don't actually use it anywhere; the people who actually *use* the branch aren't really developing on it, so there's a mismatch.
Comment #19dawehner CreditAttribution: dawehner commented
Well you know it's not that easy as you think.
This changes the default behavior which means that views which have the default value, are changed.
If you export a view you certainly saw that no every setting is exported, but settings which were changed. If you change now the default value, the behavior of this views might change.
Okay for views2 in d6 it's sure okay to change the default value, as this wasn't it for a long time, but for views3 on d6/d7 this will change the behavior of the the views of many people, but i guess that's what people want most of the time.
Comment #20nikosnikos CreditAttribution: nikosnikos commented
Thanks a lot for this fix ! It works now for me.
I describe here what I did to fix this bug from views 2.14 to be sure it is what to do.
I followed these steps :
- download and install 2.x-dev in place of the 2.14 version :
drush dl views-6.x-2.x-dev
- patch views-6.x-2.x-dev with patch in #13 :
patch -p1 < 1331032-default-hide_alter_empty.patch
- clear all caches :
drush cc all
Comment #22dawehner CreditAttribution: dawehner commented
What's the point? The status of this issue is still RTBC and not "fixed".
Comment #23nikosnikos CreditAttribution: nikosnikos commented
The patch work for me but I have "Global: Custom text" fields in my views and if "Do not rewrite if empty" is checked (by default with patch #13) these fields are hidden.
I don't know if it is a bug ?
Comment #24dawehner CreditAttribution: dawehner commented
Commited to 7.x-3.x but converted because the post from nikosnikos is sadly true.
maybe change the default for this field, but couldn't this cause other problems as well?

Okay the global custom field is special because render() returns nothing here.
Adapted it, so it always returns something, so it's never empty.

Thanks dereine. Yesterday, I installed the dev version (views-6.x-2.x-dev.tar.gz) dated 14 November and this resolved the issue for me on a multi-site install of Drupal 6.22 running on an IIS server. Like others in the thread, I had upgraded from Views 6.x-2.12 to 6.x-2.14. Latest dev has fixed it for me in all cases.

Having problems with this still using the latest version 6.x-2.16
I have added a url field to user profiles
When I go to include this field in a view (list of users) there seems to be no way of hiding either the label or rewritten content when the field is empty. No combination of ticking boxes seems to work.
I have checked in the style settings also.

The Cause
The battle against poverty is one that many nations struggle with – even countries like Canada. In Canada, 15% of children live below the poverty line and this number increases to 40% for Indigenous children.
We at Peace Collective want Canadians to join us in the fight against poverty by helping us minimize, and hopefully one day eliminate, child hunger. Over 1 million Canadian children, that's 1 in 6, will face hunger this year. As a Canadian brand, we wanted to focus our efforts on raising awareness on poverty here in Canada by supporting a local charity. The organization that we have chosen is Canada's very own Breakfast for Learning.
Today's children and youth are the ones who will be making a difference in the next generation. By supporting Breakfast for Learning, we are helping to ensure that these children and youth have the nourishment they need during the school day to reach their full potential in the classroom, and in life.
What is Breakfast for Learning?
Breakfast for Learning is committed to helping children across Canada realize their full potential in life by ensuring they attend school well nourished and ready to learn. Breakfast for Learning has been helping support school based nutrition programs in every province and territory for 23 years. During the 2015/16 school year, Breakfast for Learning funded 1,887 breakfast, lunch and snack programs, supporting 238,853 children with more than 40 million nourishing meals and snacks. Since 1992, Breakfast for Learning has helped 3.8 million children enjoy over 594 million healthy meals and snacks. For more information, please visit www.breakfastforlearning.ca.
How you can help?
With the purchase of select Peace Collective garments, $4 is donated to Breakfast for Learning and helps feed a hungry Canadian child two healthy meals and a healthy snack. All of us here at Peace Collective thank you for your continued support and love.

While shades have existed in some form since the 1300s, it wasn't until the 1930s that the sunglasses craze took hold, as more and more Americans and Europeans went on beach vacations. In fact, Sam Foster sold the first modern-day shades, a pair of Foster Grants, on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1929. This trend exploded in the following decades as Hollywood stars and fashion icons such as Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis hid behind glamorous sunglasses, made by the likes of Persol and Emilio Pucci.
Men, meanwhile, took to wire-framed Ray-Ban "aviator" sunglasses favored by World War II heroes such as George S. Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, and Douglas MacArthur—this straight-laced military look was later popularized by counter-culture rockers such as Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. In the 1930s, the U.S. military commissioned Bausch & Lomb to make UV-blocking shades, and the company's Ray-Ban aviator glasses debuted in 1936, with anti-glare polarized-lens technology, invented by Edwin H. Land, of the Polaroid Corporation. In 1948, the first mirror-faced aviator sunglasses hit the scene, offering even greater protection from the sun, as well as the ability to watch people in secret.
Thanks to their air of mystery, dark shades became a symbol of cool detachment for beatniks and '50s jazz musicians. Perhaps the most iconic sunglass design is Ray-Ban's Wayfarer, launched in 1952, with its signature chunky frame. Mod and hippie fashions of the '60s demanded more whimsy, and John Lennon favored tiny tinted wire-framed spectacles called "teashades." Depending on the style, sunglasses came to signal urban sophistication, nefarious intent, or inscrutable intellect. Later fashionable looks like those by Alpina, Vuarnet, and Oakley originated as protective gear for athletes. Coveted vintage sunglasses include designs by Neostyle, Paloma Picasso, Oliver Peoples, Revo, Cazal, Matsuda, and Carrera Porsche.

Nets Go Small, Win Second Straight
January, 4, 2014
BROOKLYN—The Cleveland Cavaliers were the first team to puncture the Brooklyn Nets belief of what they could be this season.
The 98-94 loss in the season-opener on Oct. 30, in Cleveland wasn't the big cause for concern. The fact that the Cavs outrebounded the Nets, 48-37, and outscored them, 34-30, in the paint was alarming.
Perhaps, after Saturday night's 89-82 get-even win against the Cavs in Barclays Center, the process of rebuilding the Nets' belief in themselves took a giant step forward. For just the second time this season the Nets won two straight, doing it again with a small-ball lineup.
In what has become an early season of must-wins, the Nets followed their thrilling 95-93 comeback win in Oklahoma City on Thursday night, with a victory over Cleveland. The Cavs were without star guard Kyrie Irving, who is day-to-day with a left knee injury.
The Nets (12-21) have no compassion for teams with injury woes. No team has been hit with more injuries than the Nets, who announced before the game that star center Brook Lopez underwent successful foot surgery earlier in the day.
Coach Jason Kidd used his 15th different starting lineup of the season, giving Kevin Garnett the night off and going with Reggie Evans at center. The moved paid dividends as Evans scored a season-high eight points and grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds.
Paul Pierce, in his new role at power forward, was once again terrific, scoring 17 points, grabbing 5 rebounds and blocking three shots. Pierce surpassed former Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson for 19th place on the NBA career scoring list.
The Cavs (11-22) were led by former Syracuse star Dion Waiters, who had 26 points. The Nets also got 12 from Andray Blatche, who returned after missing four games due to personal reasons, and 21 from Deron Williams.
The Cavs were better on the boards (45-33) but the Nets were better in the paint (36-28). The small-ball lineup, which features Williams and Shaun Livingston in the backcourt, was very efficient, getting 30 field goals off 24 assists.
The Nets built a 51-38 but were almost done in by another wretched third quarter. The Cavs outscored the Nets 27-16 in the third. But the Nets buckled down and pulled away in the fourth.
NOTES: The Nets announced that Lopez had successful surgery on his right foot. Lopez fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot for the third time. In an effort to prevent the injury from reoccurring, doctors also repositioned the first metatarsal to better proportion the weight bearing in Lopez's right foot.
Lopez, who was injured during the Dec. 20 game at Philadelphia, was averaging a team-high 20.7 points along with 6.0 rebounds and 1.76 blocks through 17 games played this season.
"With this procedure, we both fixed the broken bone (fifth metatarsal) in Brook's right foot and repositioned another bone, so that his sole of his foot will bear weight more evenly than before," said Nets team medical director Dr. Riley Williams III. "The repositioning portion of the surgery lessens the stress on the fractured bone, and decreases the likelihood of re-injury in the future."

You see, I knew that he and his partner had hired a marketing coach a couple of years back. I wanted to find out what their experience was like and where they had challenges and successes along the way.
This particular company is ...
Continuously Moving Your Marketing Forward
Marketing is an ongoing journey for your business.
That might seem like an obvious statement, but the actions of many small business owners might indicate otherwise. For many you build a web site, or create a brochure, or go to a few networking events and then you wait for results to happen. Effective marketing rarely works like that.
Do You Get Attention With Your 30-Second Introduction?
I went to a networking event the other day where the meeting leader said, "We're going to skip doing the 30-second introductions today because mine's so bad and it doesn't work that it nauseates me." I thought to myself, WOW! I'd skip the next networking meeting until I'd worked out a new introduction.
Do you get attention wi...
Marketing Ideas Without Action Will Get You Nowhere!

Marketing with the Internet
Are you fully leveraging the power of the Internet with your marketing efforts?
It's kind of amazing, but I still meet lots of small business owners who don't think the Internet is crucial for their success. "I'm just a small local business. I don't think the Internet is necessarily the right place for me to focus my marketing e...

Small Business Marketing: Are We There Yet?
Small business marketing is not like taking a family vacation.
Did anybody take a family vacation this summer? Do you have children of your own, or do you remember what it was like when you were a kid taking a trip somewhere?
I can still remember the family vacations as a youngster growing up. Our famous treks acros...
The Power of a Marketing and Sales System
Where Do Most of Your Clients Come From?
When I meet people for the first time and they understand that I'm a marketing consultant, I'm frequently asked, "Where do most of your clients come from?" Many times I believe the question is asked innocently enough. But, quite often I feel like the person asking wants to know if I have ...
Three Steps to Your Ultimate Marketing Message
Have you created a core marketing message to use throughout all of your marketing efforts?
I'm not talking about some catchy slogan or play on words using the name of your business or the service you provide. It's not some meaningless phrase like "we do it right" or "quality service you can trust." Anybody in business can say those thi...

It was the world number one's third straight US Open title and the ninth Grand Slam of his career, putting him sixth on the all-time winners list.
"It's nice but I don't want to stop here," said the 25-year-old. "It feels a bit strange, because I'm still going.
"It's been a fantastic season. Winning three slams, it's unbelievable."
Victory on Sunday enabled the Swiss star to move into sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list, leaving Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry and Ken Rosewall behind him on eight titles.
"I always knew I was talented, I had potential and everything," added Federer, who also won this year's Wimbledon and Australian Open.
"But it's just in a different league now - winning so many.
"I'm shocked myself how well it's been going in the last three, four years, because being not only compared to former great tennis players, but now especially also to other great athletes all over sports."
"It's like maybe the first time your parents see you do something special or somebody comes to you who you really look up to," said the world number one, who spent 20 minutes together with Woods before the final.
"For me it's like that when I go out there and I see Tiger sitting there. It's like, I have to try to play well."
Roddick was realistic after losing for the 11th time in 12 meetings with the world number one.
"Roger is at the top, and he's the only person at the top, regardless of how much people want to make rivalry comparisons and this, that and the other," said Roddick.
"He's the best player in the game. There's no question in my mind or if you ask any player about that."
However, the American was proud of his performance after pushing Federer hard at one-set all.
"I gave myself a shot today," he said. "I wanted to make it tough. I played my heart out. I tried my best.
"I felt like I had him a little bit off for a little bit of that third set and it could have gone either way.
"But, you know, I thought he played a pretty good game there to break me to win the set."
The 24-year-old admitted that his recent link up with Jimmy Connors in a coaching role had helped him immensely.
"I'm excited," said Roddick. "I can't wait to spend the off-season working with Jimmy for an extended period of time.
"I still feel like I have a lot to learn, and there's a lot of upside still there."

In September, Joe Theismann offered some harsh criticism of Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.
"Sooner or later we have to come to the realization that Tony isn't a very good quarterback," Joe Theismann said in an interview Tuesday on Sportsnet 590 The Fan. "He throws interceptions that you shake your head. If it's all the wide receivers' fault, then maybe he should get some new wide receivers, or they need to come up with some new route combinations that guys can understand.
"Just because he wears a star on his helmet — we all think that people who are Dallas Cowboys, 'Oh they're wonderful and ooh they're terrific, ooh they're the next Roger Staubach' or whatever the heck they want to say — they're full of bologna."
Theismann went on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas to preview tomorrow's game, and when confronted with the audio of his comments, he backtracked a bit.
"Tony's playing a lot better football," Theismann admitted. "I guess I got carried away a little bit. And let me say this. I know, I get the tweets from a lot of the Cowboys fans, and believe me I know how they feel. Watching Tony play, and I've played golf with him up in Tahoe and I know him and he's a terrific guy. But he's better than the way he has played. And I guess that's what I was really trying to say is, what we're seeing out of Tony Romo, I expect more. The Cowboys fans expect more. Jerry expects more.
"The other thing, when I talked about the star on the helmet of the Dallas Cowboys, you have to understand something," he continued. "When you think about the apple on the iPhone and iPad, and you think about the Nike swish, and you think about the Dallas Cowboys star, they are all symbols that represent and entire industry. The phone industry is Apple's symbol. They don't need to say 'Apple'. Nike doesn't need to say 'Nike.' The swish represents it. The star of the Dallas Cowboys, they don't need to say 'Dallas Cowboys.' It's just the star. I think it's one of those things that's accepted worldwide as being the moniker of the National Football League. So, from my perspective, what I said about Tony is, he was average and he was playing average."
Hearing a Redskins legend call the Dallas star the moniker of the NFL makes my ears hurt. Also, everyone knows "$" is the real symbol of the NFL.
At the time of his Romo comments, a clearly fired-up Theismann had some choice words for the Cowboys owner as well.
"Where does Jerry turn for anything? It took him five years too long to change his offensive line, which isn't very good. It took him three years too long to change his secondary. This is what happens when you're not a football guy. Jerry Jones is so emotionally involved in this game that he can't make a decision that I think affects his football team positively. I mean, to absolutely have to have a babysitter for your wide receiver, I mean, that worked out really well with Adam Jones when he had him there, didn't it?"
Theismann didn't stand by those words either.
"Absolutely not," he said, when asked if he still feels the same way. "I mean, I respect Mr. Jones so much. Listen, I went crazy on that particular point. You look at decisions that general managers make, that owners make. They are the biggest fans of their football team and they want to do whatever they can to make their football team be successful."
"But what Jerry has done for football, for professional football, is amazing," Theismann offered. "If it wasn't for him, marketing wouldn't be what it is today. Advertising in stadiums wouldn't be what it is today. He has done so much for professional football, and after I said all that stuff and said 'You know Joe, you're a real ass. You really are.' Because, here's a man I've known for years, he's been wonderful to me, and here I am running him into the ground. The reason I sent the Tweet out to apologize, is when I listened to the things that you just played, they weren't meant personal, but when I listened to them they sounded personal. And I didn't want that to be that way. They were professional observations from a guy who's been around the game a long time. To me they sounded way too cutting and personal. And for that, I apologize for."
It's cool for Theismann to apologize to the owner and quarterback of the Cowboys for statements he considered over the line. Less cool when it's Dallas week, but whatever.
Ever faithful, Theismann offered his thoughts on tomorrow's match-up.
"I think it's going to be one of the better football games we've seen in this rivalry," he predicted. "I like the Redskins in this game, because I am a Redskin and I refuse to pick against them."

I Need a Weekend to Recover From My Weekend
So Friday night was an unexpected surprise - some of our closest friends came to visit from Florida. It was such a treat to see them -- we haven't been able to visit with them or talk to them as much as I'd like since they've moved. They used to live a few houses down from us. In fact, they were one of the reasons we moved into this neighborhood - unfortunately, they moved out shortly after we moved in. Hmm, maybe our stalker-ish ways drove them away?
Anyways, we ate at our favorite Mexican joint together (and really, that's basically heaven - Mexican food and diet coke with dear friends!) and caught up a little. It was a quick trip though - so luckily we are going to stop in and see them on our way to the beach in a few weeks.
Saturday we had breakfast with our small group. And there were sausage cheese balls - which I adore. Because anything with cheese? I love it. Then we went downtown to visit our kiddos and brought four girls back to our house for a girl's night. Lest you think I am brave enough to handle 4 middle school girls from the projects on my own, let me assure you that I am not. Four of our fantastic counselors (and my dear friends) from camp this summer spent the night too (Adam wisely took the dogs and the baby and bunked at his parent's house for the night).
We had a fantastic time. Seriously, the girls acted like KIDS (a rarity) and giggled, did hair (well I didn't because I am convinced you need at least three hands to braid anything), watched movies and played games. We even took them to Chili's, because I love me some Chili's and pretty much everything they serve. Plus none of them had been there before, and most of them didn't even really know how to act properly in a restaurant as far as ordering and, you know, using utensils and NOT your fingers to rip apart your grilled chicken and broccoli.
All in all, it was a fun night without enough sleep -- I remember distinctly heading upstairs because I am an old fart at about 2am -- and then being woken rudely by one of the girls at about 3am - because it was COLD and didn't I have another blanket? Unfortunately, the only remaining blankets were upstairs in the attic. So, bleary eyed, I yanked down the ladder and gingerly tiptoed through the attic looking for blankets, hoping against hope not to see any creatures of any type. After that, I slept for a good solid 4 hours or so. As it turns out, my body is getting remarkably used to functioning on less than 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. . .
I was encouraged, and excited to go to church. I even ventured to make cinnamon rolls for the kids before church, AND we made it on time (OK OK so I burnt the cinnamon rolls - whatever).
I dont even know what to say about church on Sunday. I will say this though; Two girls (Arnesha and Sharonda - one of whom spent the night at my house) got in a huge fight, and we had to hold back one of their mothers to stop her from beating up the twelve year old. Mature right? I cant help but wonder how we will EVER help these kids learn not to fight when their parents set such STELLAR examples . . . Oh and the mom was yelling that the whole thing was her daughter's mentor's fault - and she NEVER should have listened to Becca. . . Needless to say, it was disappointing and frustrating after investing so much in these girls that they would get in a fist-fight at church. Oh and the fight caused mass amounts of chaos among the ranks, and pretty much the room was just a mess of 75 children yelling and fighting.
Days like that make me feel like: This is NEVER going to work, why should I even bother trying? A mentoring program is a terrible idea. Who thought of that? Dumb. Things are never going to change. I should definitely just throw in the towel. . .
Have I mentioned that I have a tendency to believe lies and get discouraged easily??
On the upside, I had a good talk with one of the girls while I was bringing her home to her mom. And I even remembered to speak God's transforming TRUTH to her. Usually, I get so flustered and try so hard to say the right thing that will change them - that I forget just to go to His Word . . .
Needless to say, we're not ACTUALLY giving up - although that's not to say I didn't consider it. For about 4 seconds before realizing that I could never leave these kids. In fact, Arnesha's mother's behavior only served to reinforce the idea that we MUST do something. These kids deserve better. They just need to be taught how to stop the cycle of anger and violence rather than perpetuating it.
Oh and because I figured I needed to hear me some TRUTH, Adam and I ended our weekend by going to Passion City Church. And despite the fact that it was 2.5 hours long - the worship and Word transformed my heart.
I just realized that this is practically a novel. I apologize to anyone (all 2 of you) who actually read the whole thing!

Whoa. That's some heavy stuff. Almost too much to believe but then again, I'm often surprised by the things people (often times parents) do these days. So sad.ReplyDelete
You are an inspiration. I can barely handle my kids much less take on a challenge like that. Keep at it, hang in there.
Wow, that IS a wild and crazy weekend. I am sorry all of that happened at church but I know in the hearts of those girls - seeds are being planted left and right and all that ya'll are doing will show them they can have a BETTER life. I am praying for you, my friend!ReplyDelete
Becca, I am so glad you found my blog!! I loved this entry and found myself smiling the entire way through it because I have had so many similar experiences with "my girls." A mentoring program is a WONDERFUL idea and I am so encouraged to find someone else who loves Jesus and is trying to figure out how to serve Him in urban ministry!ReplyDelete
Goodness...I hope you get some rest today :)ReplyDelete
I saw your status on Sunday and wondered what went down. I'm so sorry, Becca. You guys are doing some mighty, mighty work for the kingdom. The darkness will come agains that, no question. I'm sorry your heart and spirit got caught in the crossfire.ReplyDelete
I hope today was more peaceful and that as the week unfolds, you are tended to and mended by The Truth.
I love that you did this on Saturday. I am so glad the girls could experience such a fun weekend. I often think that it would be extremely difficult to live in a housing project. They are so depressing. And there is SO much violence. I am thankful that you were able to do this and make a difference. Just remember, you will not always see results right away.ReplyDelete
This is my first time stopping by youg blog. I really love the way you write, your love for Christ and your service to those young girls. I'll be sure to visit here often! :)ReplyDelete
You are doing an amazing work with those kids!! What an inspiration to read your blog-seriously...you live the truth that life is SO much bigger than us...and what a cool environment for Jayci to grow up in...seeing her parents live out what it truly means to be alive!ReplyDelete
I read the whole thing! =) It was interesting! What a story. It's neat to see someone actually doing something to help the hurting children around us. Don't give up, i'm sure you are doing an amazing job and these girls need you in their lives. Just to have an adult show positive interest in their lives means a lot to them. God bless!ReplyDelete

Most people get into high tech via hard work, thoughtful mentors and good schools. But while techies exist in every school, not every school has the ability to train them for quality high-tech jobs. We are really proud of the partnership we have with Resilient Coders, an organization founded by David Delmar to teach coding skills to urban youth. This awesome non-profit works to train youth in underserved communities how to code through a series of programs that range from boot camps on web development fundamentals through to their Resilient Lab, where coders have the opportunity to work on actual customer projects.
We worked with Data Collaborative to automate a custom report out of one of our Quick Base apps into a formatted word doc.

Connect students to the stories of history. Connect students to the experience of history. Connect students to success in history. At McGraw-Hill, we have dedicated the past few years to deepening our understanding of student and instructor experience. Employing a wide array of research tools including surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic studies, we've identified areas in need of improvement to provide an opportunity for greater learning and teaching experiences. The fifth edition of "Traditions & Encounters" is a result of this. "Traditions & Encounters" also has a rich history of firsts: the first world history text to take a truly global perspective on the past; the first to emphasize connections among cultures; the first to combine twin themes with a seven-part framework, making the huge story of world history more manageable to both teach and learn. Now "Traditions & Encounters" becomes the first truly interactive world history program: one that marries groundbreaking adaptive diagnostics and interactivities with a captivating narrative and engaging visuals, creating a unique learning environment that propels greater student success and better course results. Instructors gain insight into students' engagement and understanding as students develop a base of knowledge and construct critical thinking skills. Chapter-opening vignettes and a lively narrative keep students turning the page while the adaptive questioning for each chapter and the personalized study plan for each individual student help students prepare for class discussions and course work. With its hallmark of twin themes, "Traditions & Encounters" continues to tell the story of the cultures and interactions that have shaped world history, while adding redesigned maps, new primary sources, and new chapter- and part-level features that strengthen connections and prompt students to analyze the events and themes in order to build a greater understanding of the past and an appreciation of history's influence on the present. Students are no longer simply reading; they are reading, interacting, and engaging in a visual, auditory, and hands-on learning experience. Give students an experience. Improve course participation and performance. Experience "Traditions & Encounters", and experience success.

His more recent research has concentrated on global history and particularly on processes of cross-cultural interaction. His book Old World Encounters: Cross-Cultural Contacts and Exchanges in Pre-Modern Times (1993) studies processes of cultural exchange and religious conversion before modern times, and his pamphlet Shapes of World History in Twentieth-Century Scholarship (1996) discusses the historiography of world history. His current interests include processes of cross-cultural interaction and cultural exchange in modern times. Herbert F. Ziegler is an associate professor of history at the University of Hawai'i. He has taught courses on world history for the last 19 years and is currently the director of the world history program at the University of Hawaii. For several years he also served as the book review editor of the Journal World History. His interest in twentieth-century European social and political history led to the publication of Nazi Germany's New Aristocracy (1990). He is at present working on a study that explores uncharted aspects of German society, especially the cultural manifestations of humor and satire in the Nazi era. His other current research project focuses on the application of complexity theory to a comparative study of societies and their internal dynamics.

text: I always feel warm and fuzzy whenever I come across any picture of Ashley Greene. It's weird to think that there aren't stories upon stories flooding the web about what Ashley's doing, what kind of food she's eating, how many times she goes to the bathroom a day (actually, that information is maybe, for the best, kept to her and myself), but maybe that's the magic of it all. With these little surprise visits from Ashley on MovieHotties, it almost makes her beauty that much more special. She's like a magical super-hot unicorn in tight pants that appears whenever she so pleases. It doesn't hurt that said unicorn has some ridiculous lips and I'm just gonna come out and say it: I'm getting used to this blonde look. Sure, I think we can all agree we prefer the brunette Ashley, but a beautiful creature with yellow hair is still a beautiful creature. Anyway, here we can see Ms. Greene walking around in some tight pants and heels and looking damn good doing it. Take a look and enjoy, folks.

Section F
A piston fits into a sleeve, so that the pressure from combustion in the reaction chamber is used to push the piston back at a constant rate and do useful work. The movement of the piston is lubricated by oil which has a viscosity η. Recall: The force due to viscosity is given by Fvis = ηAv/d, where A, v, and d are the relevant surface area, relative velocity, and separation.
The piston has a radius r and a length l, and it moves with velocity v. The sleeve has a radius slightly larger than the piston r + Δr, such that Δr is very small compared to r. The pressure in the chamber is Pcham, and the pressure outside the chamber is Pamb.
Which expression gives the magnitude of the work done by the pressure outside the chamber on the piston during the time Δt?
