Owner, Holt's Cigar Store, Inc., and the Ashton Brand
(continued from page 23)
Levin's experience in the cigar industry includes some of the worst of times, and today, the best of times. He started working for his father full-time in 1973 and took over the business in the late 1970s. Levin consolidated and expanded the family's retail business, capitalizing on a demand for mail order cigars in his local market. In 1985, he launched Ashton cigars, which is one of the most highly respected brands in the marketplace today.
Today, Levin has seen his business grow eightfold since 1992. He not only has a thriving and elegant new retail store and a major cigar brand, but a solid catalogue business as well.
In a wide-ranging interview with Cigar Aficionado editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken, Levin discusses the history of the family's business, as well as the future of the cigar industry.
Cigar Aficionado: How and when did your family first get into the tobacco business?
Levin: My father bought Holt's Cigar Company, which was a small retail store in Philadelphia in the mid- '50s. He was a clothing manufacturer before that. I was about 11 years old when he bought it. So I grew up in the cigar business.
CA: What made him go from clothing manufacturing to the cigar business? Was it just a hobby business?
Levin: No. He had smoked pipes and cigars his whole life. He had just shut down his clothing operation in Philadelphia. He was looking for another business and Holt's became available. He bought it.
CA: How long had Holt's been in business?
Levin: The original Holt's cigar company started in 1911. However, after we purchased Holt's, we also bought Harry Tint & Sons, in 1980, which was another old-time Philadelphia retail cigar store. They started their business in 1898, so today we say Holt's history traces back to 1898.CA: When your dad, Albert Levin, bought the store in the 1950s, how big was the business?
Levin: It was a very small store.
CA: What kind of revenue was it doing?
Levin: It was well under a million dollars. It was in the $100,000 to $200,000 range. It was a good cigar business at the time, and we were cigar specialists. Philadelphia was known as a city for close-outs. Big market for seconds. We used to buy huge lots of Garcia y Vega seconds.
CA: When he bought the store, did he then go in and operate it himself?
Levin: He was there. He was the owner and the operator.
CA: What did he pay for the store in the mid-1950s?
Levin: He paid about $40,000 for it.
CA: He bought the store, he operated the store and then you said in 1980 he purchased another store.
Levin: No, my father was retired by that time. I bought Harry A. Tint & Sons, which was a more upscale business. Holt's cigar store was always the store you went to for deals. Harry A. Tint & Sons was for the uppercrust Main Line customer. That store was the Cuban cigar importer for that area before the embargo.
CA: When did you enter the business?
Levin: I came into the business in 1972.
CA: How big a store was Harry A. Tint in terms of revenue?
Levin: At one time they were the strongest cigar merchants in Philadelphia. They had all the name brands, especially the Cuban brands. They were directly importing them before the embargo. But when we bought the business, their business had really declined quite a bit. They were only doing about $250,000.
CA: What did you pay for that store?
Levin: Not much. We paid between $50,000 and $100,000.
CA: Did you merge the two operations?
Levin: Yes, we took their whole operation and moved it into our store. They had lost their lease anyway. And when we bought the business, the Tint brothers, they're twins, were already ready to retire.
CA: Let's go back. You entered the business in 1972. How old were you then?
Levin: I was in my mid-20s.
CA: Think back to 1971, before you came into the family business. What was your perception of the cigar business when you first started working there on a full-time basis?
Levin: When I first went into my father's business, I had no intention of staying in this business. My father needed help. I was wandering around the world at the time, and I didn't have a career. At the time, I was basically just getting into the business to help out the family. I was just going to do it for a few months and then go off and do something else.
CA: Did you have any particular passion or interest in cigars in those days?
Levin: No. I did it to help out my father, who had some health problems. But as I got into the business and took it over, my love of cigars started to come out.
CA: How big was the business in those days?
Levin: In the mid-'80s we went over $1 million in sales.
CA: So at that time, was it essentially a cigar shop?

by Car Appraiser on April 26, 2016
Would you rather collect 80% of an accurate appraisal or 20% of an inflated one?
Many clients believe that if another appraiser gives them a higher initial estimate, the settlement amount will be equally high. WRONG!
Insurance companies know who the legitimate appraisers are, so don't get caught up in the estimate game. Hire an appraiser based on their credentials and reputation.
Things to look for when choosing an appraisal company:
1- Fixed Pricing Schedule
2- Refund Policy
3- Professional License
4- Beware of Fraud
5- Reviews from Real clients

Can we talk about how awesome Roy's gotten at blocking/altering shots w/o fouling? Remember when that was a HUGE issue? Sure, the league's started to rule on "verticality" differently than before, but that's pretty much specifically because of Roy.
His rookie year he had .35 blocks for every foul. Then .46, then .55, .65, last year .74. This year the dude's at 1.8 blocks for every foul he commits. I know that's an unsustainable rate, but that's insane.

Many families have faced this, but it's a new one for me -- my 13-year-old daughter recently decided she wants to eat vegetarian. What can I say? She's 13 and easily influenced by her friends, the media and celebrity lifestyles.
She's not a "vegan" anyway. She'll eat eggs and dairy, and doesn't object to her food coming into contact with meat during the cooking process, such as her veggie burger cooked on the same grill with my real burgers.
We're hoping it's a passing phase. We're concerned with her nutrition, and talk with her about the role of meat in a healthy diet. Cooking a separate entree adds to the already challenging process of putting a balanced dinner on the table every evening. I'm also concerned over the expense.
I know that many nutritious veggies can be purchased at relatively low cost, including good protein sources such as various types of beans. I eat all those things too, along with my meat. But, like a lot of vegetarians, my daughter likes something "meat like" with her dinner. That brings us to the meat-substitute products that populate the frozen-foods section in your local supermarket. I've learned they come in all kinds of shapes, textures and flavor combinations to simulate a range of meat products.
This week, my wife requested I make a particular family favorite dish that includes Italian sausages. I was making the grocery stop, so she asked me to pick up the sausages along with other ingredients, and some "veggie sausages" for the girl. When I reached the meat counter, I was happy to see the store-brand Italian sausages, which are quite good, were on special – two 18-ounce packages for $5. I grabbed two – one for dinner and one for the freezer. Then I proceeded to the freezer section in pursuit of the meatless-wonder sausages. After some searching, I found them – Morning Star Farms Italian Sausage: "Classic veggie Italian sausage bursting with zesty spices."
The nine-ounce package contains four sausages and cost $4.95. Ouch. I did some quick calculations. The real sausages, admittedly on sale, cost about $2.20 per pound. The veggie sausages cost four times as much, at $8.80 per pound. For $5 I took home 36 ounces of actual Italian sausages, while for the same price I received nine ounces of veggie sausage. Now I know that most sausages, Italian or otherwise, are not the healthiest meat selection. We cook them just occasionally. The veggie-sausage label boast 66 percent less fat than pork Italian sausages and 120 calories per serving. The ingredient list begins with "textured vegetable protein (wheat gluten, soy protein concentrate, water for hydration caramel color), water, corn oil and egg whites, followed by a long list of seasonings and other ingredients. (They would not fit in a vegan diet.)
I haven't tried the veggie sausages yet, but I'm guessing they'll taste OK and do a reasonable job of imitating the texture of a meat sausage. Nevertheless, they cost four times as much. Like I said, we're hoping it's a passing phase.

If you're involved with agriculture, you've probably seen the Ram Trucks ad that ran during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, Feb. 3. The ad was titled "So God made a farmer" and featured legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey's speech at the 1978 National FFA Convention along with a variety of images of rural America and the farming life and ended with the image of Ram Trucks.
Social media exploded with messages from those in agriculture supporting the ad and its message. The ad ranked as the third highest most favored ad from the Super Bowl, according to the USA Today's ad meter results.
On Monday, Case IH announced its partnership with Ram Trucks to make donations to the FFA for the number of visits the ad receives online.
Agriculture and the agriculture media have praised the ad generously. But the enthusiasm goes beyond the fact that the ad was a fist-pump to agriculture.
Despite the fact that some have quibbled with particular images that were shown, which offered the stereotypical image of farmers that the industry and the agriculture media have been fighting against for many years, the ad was able to convey multiple positive messages about agriculture to a mainstream audience. There isn't more mainstream than the Super Bowl and it's built-in billions of people who watch.
In Paul Harvey's unique style, he was able to convey the character needed in a farmer to do all the jobs needed to run a farm or ranch. The farmer must be willing to work long hours, be hard and strong and yet soft enough to take care of his family and meet those commitments. In the end, he has to be a good example to his family so that hopefully the next generation wants to do what farmers have been doing for centuries: Working hard to feed the world.
The ad was a great way to convey to urban America—a large percentage of those watching the Super Bowl—the depth of the commitment farmers make to working hard and producing food. The ad also stirred a sense of nostalgia for farming in America.
But of all the emotions the ad raised, the most important, was pride. Farmers rarely pat themselves on the back. This has been a public image problem for the industry because if the industry doesn't celebrate its virtues, the public at large won't know. This ad cleverly demonstrated the character, humbleness and pride of being a farmer.
This is an ad the majority of the ag industry can get behind and celebrate as a public image. What better time in agriculture's history to reach such a large audience? The timing of it—during the Super Bowl, which is one of the biggest non-holiday food holidays in America—was brilliant. No one seemed to be expecting this ad. After the excitement of the power outage of the Superdome, Beyonce's dramatic half time show and the 49s rallying to come from behind, the fourth quarter ad was as unexpected as it was touching. The two-minute ad captured America's attention and its heart. For agriculture and rural America, it defined a way of life and affirmed the pride of a job that often goes unrecognized in our society.
As the world continues to struggle for producing enough food to meet the growing demand of the rising middle class globally, the ad was timed perfectly to remind everyone of the need for farmers.
For at least one moment in time, the ad reached a global audience and reminded the world that we need farmers, and that is something all of agriculture can be proud to support.

Day 8:
The intermediate group learned two rhythms. The first one was Sewa (which I believe Mamady created himself—I missed the start of the session, so I have no background info on it). The rhythm has a distinct Ivory Coast feel to it. The dunduns are played upright without bells, and the accompaniments are similar to Bete and Begbe (both from Ivory Coast). The second rhythm was Kotedjuga. (It's called Kotedjuga in Guinea and Koredjuga in Mali.)
Mamady improvised to Kotedjuga at the end of the session. Here is a recording.
The advanced group worked on Mamady's solo technique for Soliwulen. Most people were struggling severely with the last two techniques, which require precise micro-timing to sound right.
Mamady improvised to Soliwulen, which was a treat. You can listen to it here.
The pyramid class rehearsed what we learned so far, and Mamady added a few breaks and a set solo to Tiriba. The first two phrases for the solo are played by everyone; for the remainder, Mamady selected eleven players to play the more challenging phrases.
Day 9:
Last day of the camp (other than the final performance day).
The intermediate group learned Lekule and Kassa Soro. Lekule is one of my favourites. Similar in style to Sinte, but with even more groove. Kassa Soro is a nice Kassa variation that I hadn't come across before.
The advanced group continued to work on Soliwulen because Mamady wasn't happy with the results of the previous day. There was a definite improvement overall but, for some people there, the last two techniques in particular were simply beyond their current skill level.
The pyramid class did a few more run-throughs. The main thing today was that Mamady spent quite a bit of time working with the eleven players who did the set solos during Tiriba and Soliwulen. He worked out a choreography for the various phrases where we did things like look up, crouch down, turn left and right, etc. As if we didn't have enough to remember already…

GMC S15 Jimmy Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the GMC S15 Jimmy based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Our technicians tell us that the distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
The electrical contacts in the ignition switch may fail and result in erratic instrument panel gauge operation or illumination of the Check Engine Light. A failed ignition switch will require replacement.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. This can result in an engine overheating condition. A leaking water pump will require replacement.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
The transmission output shaft seal may leak transmission fluid. On 2WD models, this leak can cause the transmission mount to become oil soaked, which will require replacement of the mount along with the leak repair. On 4WD models, if this seal leaks, the fluid will leak into the transfer case, causing it to become overfull.
The alternator may fail, causing a "no charge" condition. An internal bearing may also fail and cause an abnormal noise. If the vehicle is driven too long with a failed bearing, the alternator may stop turning, which can cause the serpentine belt to break or the engine to stall and not turn over.
The power door locks may stop working in one or more doors due to a failed actuator. Replacement of the failed actuator should correct this concern.

2.) I'd like to nominate Sookie for Sunshiner of the year.
In your point about Steve Simon, who's to say he would have any different philosophy from Herb?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
If the Pacers didn't move when Britton Johnson was in the starting lineup, it's not moving now. It's November people. Adjustments will be made and things are likely to change.
The problem is not that we need a true point guard,the problem is not that Hibbert sucks, It's not the players at all it is the front office especially Bird/ Pritchard. Pendergraph, Mahimmi, Augustine, Green, and if not for some luck we'd have Craig Smith, and Rashad McCants. How in the last four seasons How has this not been Birds M.O; we once again have a bunch of D-league like players. Think Diener, Solo, Luther Head, Earl Watson. Only difference is these new guys are now all signed to long-term deals.
Also I do not understand why a larger contract is supposed to make a guy better Roy is what he is and what he is is pretty good. He is a defensive minded Center who is a solid shotblocker and rebounder, he is not a scorer, and I have no idea why we are trying to make him one. He was certainly never more than the fourth option last year.
Protect the Promise!!!!
They suck right now anyway and yes probably making it to the playoffs is fun and all but if there is not hope to pass the first round what's the point?
Call me crazy but in this crappy Eastern conference there is a chance that multiple rebuilding teams make it to the playoff, so they are accomplishing two things, the rebuilding plus they are making it to the playoffs to keep their fans happy, I think the Pacers can do that too.
This is the truth nobody wants to admit.
Last year we were a good team. This year we took a small step back personnel-wise, but we could still be pretty good if Granger were available. His perimeter shooting is just that important to this team.
But the point is, the Knicks are a really good team. They are up there with the Chicago's and Miami's in the East...because they simply have a lot more talent than the Pacers. Chicago didn't have Derrick Rose last year and they are better as well. We benefited from Dwight and DRose being out last year.
So, here we are. Granger is out and we've taken a small step back with the trades. It should be no surprise we got beat bad by NY and San Antonio which is also one of the very best teams in the league.
Whoa, I was just trying to ad more to your comment, sorry for replying to your post.
So, a whole season (even if it was a lock out one) was fools gold but 11 games are a valid sample size?
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
No, it isn't a valid sample size. Wanna know why?
Cause Granger will not be out for the whole season. If he is to be out for the whole season then I agree with your point. But he isn't, so your argument is invalid.
I'd like to see some creative trade ideas. I think we would need to take on somebody who is high upside but on a short leash. Otherwise, we'd be selling the farm. For example, something like Hibbert & a 1st for Royce White and Asik would help. Houston's got so much young depth that they don't need White at all, and they're clearly looking for some legitimacy inside. Hibbert has been horrible this season, but he's more offensive minded than Asik and would benefit from playing with Lin/Harden. Royce White is a headcase, but he is going to be a stat sheet stuffing wing if he ever gets on the court, and he brings the element that this team needs more than any other: playmaking ability.
Isn't he supposed to be back in February?
If yes, then why wouldn't he be able to play this season?
LOL, that's got to be a joke.
1) Royce White is not a headcase. He has a legitimate and diagnosed mental disease.
2) I don't think that we would be able to put his playmaking ability into good use.
I'm more like 0.9%.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
He's not a wing at all - more of an undersized F/C type really. Aside from his other issues, it's not really clear whether he has an NBA position. So I wouldn't pin any hopes of a quick turnaround on a Royce White trade, even if you think his other issues can be ignored.
Why not go for Burks instead as in the other thread. A much better fit who also provides some playmaking from the SG position.

It's like we didn't just win a game with our max player finally playing great. Not even a hint of optimism.
Yes, they hate Lance so much that they made him a starter! If they really get sick of him they'll extend his contract!
Wallowing in our misery makes for so much better discussion. Leave us alone!
At this point, TPTB has no other choice than to weather the storm.
This team has several good pieces, even as disfunctional as they presently seem to be. But blowing things up or even trading a couple of the top players? That's idiotic and something that management would not and will not do at this point.
Why? There a couple of reasons.
As has been pointed out, we are barely 10% into the season and it's certainly no time for panic and a knee-jerk reaction. If I had reacted this way every time one of my funds or stock choices dipped a little, I'd ended up working until I was 70 and not retiring at 57. We have invested in a few players, so let's take a deep breath, take a step back and ponder the situation.
In doing this it directly leads to reason #2. We have no idea how this team would perform with the insertion of Granger into the lineup. It could be that some of you are right, and TPTB has created a flawed team from the start. But, I think that it is even more likely that Granger is the missing link that enables the other pieces to perform much better. Now, I will be the first to admit that such a dependence on a single player in itself constitutes a flaw. But if this is the case, having waited for Granger's return will have provided the clarity to determine that. We would also have a very good starting point for further improving the team. In my opinion, that is far wiser than getting rid of players and possibly setting us back a year or two in our roster development.
The best players on teams usually have qualities that are not duplicated by others on the roster. Without that redundancy, teams are gong to suffer when their best player is unavailable. The only thing that might differ from team to team is the degree to which they will miss that player. For the Pacers, we miss Granger a hell of a lot.
(And yes, I think it is apparent to even his biggest detractors that Granger can now be identified as our best player.).

Thats why we Cellar for Zeller!
Remember the last time fans and sponsors forced the team to "blow up" the roster?

- How to Read a Study Record
As a measure of secondary prophylaxis, and with the final objective of avoiding the infection, it has been suggested to use antiretroviral therapy. This is known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Although there are different recommendations, almost every guideline recommend using 3 drugs as PEP both in USA and Europe.
Toxicity is one of the main limitations of PEP. Side effects during PEP are very usual, are attributed mainly to PI and are the main reasons for poor adherence or lost of follow-up.
A current standard regimen is AZT+3TC (Combivir®) or tenofovir+emtricitabine (Truvada®) plus the PI lopinavir/r. Toxicity associated with this regimens are high (31-85% of cases),with a high tolerability, a integrase inhibitor (raltegravir)could be an adequate drug for PEP.

Mobile phone footage of Karla Kerner's arrest:
Midnight passed and the DJ kept playing. It was a joint birthday party for Libras, who are born, fortunately or not, under the scales of justice.
The hosts lived two blocks from the College of Santa Fe, on Vitalia Street. Approximately 30 guests were crowded inside and on the porch, drinking and trying to talk over the electronic music.
Nobody should have been surprised when the police came. The party could be heard down the block, and the Santa Fe Police Department had stepped up its patrols of the area.
But even those who understood how tense things were getting between the party-going students and the local police could not have foreseen what happened that night: the screaming, the struggle and the subsequent, sobering prospect of an 18-month prison sentence for one young woman.
Before she found herself in serious trouble—charged, among other things, with crushing a police officer's testicles—Karla Kerner thought CSF took care of its community.
But Kerner, a petite, tattooed 22-year-old who finished school in May, quickly discovered what every new graduate eventually does: She's on her own.
The first clue came when a college nurse declined to photograph injuries Kerner says the police inflicted during her arrest. "I paid health insurance for two years," she says, "and never took so much as a Band-Aid." Then she learned the college offered "no legal help, no aid, no advice" to students in trouble with the law.
To Kerner and her friends at CSF—many of whom have had their own recent encounters with police—the takeaway seems clear.
"Especially now, since the school's having so much trouble—maybe going under—they don't want to get themselves involved," Kerner says. "They're not willing to stand behind the students."
Even for students who've kept out of handcuffs, it's a scary time at the College of Santa Fe.
Just two weeks ago, students struggled to finish their finals without knowing whether they'd return in January to new classes or an empty campus.
The nearly 150-year-old private college is some $30 million in debt, which students and faculty blame on past mismanagement. Administrators have tried various ways to raise money—such as introducing sports teams and selling some land fronting St. Michael's Drive to a bank—but none have proved sufficient.
The college's last and best hope seemed to be a takeover by Laureate Education, Inc., until CSF President Stuart Kirk announced the Laureate deal had fallen through just as students and staff left for Thanksgiving. The sparse, ill-timed announcement seemed typical of CSF's official responses in difficult times.
Administrators hope the state of New Mexico will take over the school. Rather than wait to find out, many students are preparing transfer applications. Their anxiety is apparent in every discussion. One comment recently left on SFR's Web site sums up the fear:
"[S]hame on you College of Santa Fe, you frauds, you cheats, you horrible people. You stole my money, you conned me, you made a fool of me and every other student at this college."
Yet even before students knew their academic futures hung in the balance, an unprecedented series of conflicts with local police this year had frayed their nerves.
Some students feel the police have targeted them for harassment. Administrators count three students arrested on campus in the fall semester and five more arrested off campus. In the three semesters prior, no students were arrested on campus.
Santa Fe Police don't deny they've stepped up their patrols at CSF, although they maintain harassment is the last thing on their minds. Rather, police say, they're taking "a more proactive role" in what is essentially a large private neighborhood that has historically stayed off the radar of law enforcement.
Ariana Lombardi, a CSF freshman working on a documentary about the rising tensions with police, takes a dispassionate view of the controversy. While Lombardi thinks the police haven't always behaved ethically, she says, "Some of the kids are like, 'Fuck the police. I can do what I want."
On that point, the SFPD has proven them wrong. And the administration, essentially powerless to prevent the police from patrolling their private but wide-open campus, have offered little reassurance.
"Everybody's pissed off," Cole Wilson, a CSF teaching assistant and recent graduate, says. "But they don't know what to do."
Anger and uncertainty: No two words better summarize the mood at one of Santa Fe's oldest and largest institutions.

Since pizza is so universally loved lets get everybody's opinion on your favs and least favs. Heck....even throw in those hole in the wall great pizza places if you want to. Somebody comment on Papa John's as I haven't had it in like forever. I'll start off with a few comments:
Marcos: Love it. Big pizza toppings and very good sauce and crust
Pizza King: Like it a lot, but it is WAY over priced. Little squares and small toppings yet you will pay $23.00 or so for a large loaded. Their parking lots are always empty. Take a hint...lower your prices.
Basbeaux's: Been a while since I had it, but great gourmet style pizza place although I usually just get a sausage and pepperoni. I know there is one in Broad Ripple and Carmel.
Pizza Hut: Not horrible, but the most over-rated of the major chains. All their crusts taste pre-made(although they are not) and the Pan crust especially is really greasy. Their sauce is nothing special and they are sometimes skimpy with the cheese and even toppings. Not one of my favs.
Dominos: I know you can get them cheap, but it's almost bottom of the barrel for me. Last time I got one it was bland.
Lets hear your favs and least favs or just general comments. I love trying new pizzas and breadsticks and such.

PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for Python.
YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages.
PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for the Python programming language.
PyYAML features
- a complete YAML 1.1 parser. In particular, PyYAML can parse all examples from the specification. The parsing algorithm is simple enough to be a reference for YAML parser implementors.
- Unicode support including UTF-8/UTF-16 input/output and \u escape sequences.
- low-level event-based parser and emitter API (like SAX).
- high-level API for serializing and deserializing native Python objects (like DOM or pickle).
- support for all types from the YAML types repository. A simple extension API is provided.
- relatively sensible error messages.
Note that PyYAML is still young and may have some bugs. Furthermore, PyYAML is written in Python and is slow comparing to C based parsers.
PyYAML requires Python 2.3 or higher.

For more details, please check PyYAML Documentation.
3.07 (2008-12-29)
- The emitter learned to use an optional indentation indicator for block scalar; thus scalars with leading whitespaces could now be represented in a literal or folded style.
- The test suite is now included in the source distribution. To run the tests, type python setup.py test.
- Refactored the test suite: dropped unittest in favor of a custom test appliance.
- Fixed the path resolver in CDumper.
- Forced an explicit document end indicator when there is a possibility of parsing ambiguity.
- More setup.py improvements: the package should be usable when any combination of setuptools, Pyrex and LibYAML is installed.
- Windows binary packages are built against LibYAML-0.1.2.
- Minor typos and corrections. Thank to Ingy dot Net and Andrey Somov.
3.06 (2008-10-03)
- setup.py checks whether LibYAML is installed and if so, builds and installs LibYAML bindings. To force or disable installation of LibYAML bindings, use --with-libyaml or --without-libyaml respectively (partially fixes #34).
- Building LibYAML bindings no longer requires Pyrex installed (fixed #33).
- yaml.load() raises an exception if the input stream contains more than one YAML document (fixed #54).
- Fixed exceptions produced by LibYAML bindings (fixed #50).
- Fixed a dot '.' character being recognized as !!float (fixed #62).
- Fixed Python 2.3 compatibility issue in constructing !!timestamp values.
- Windows binary packages are built against the LibYAML stable branch.
- Added attributes yaml.__version__ and yaml.__with_libyaml__ (fixed #85).
3.05 (2007-05-13)
- Allow for immutable subclasses of YAMLObject. Fixed #53.
- Make the encoding of the unicode->str conversion explicit; fixed #52.
- Fixed a problem when the DOCUMENT-END event is not emitted until the beginning of the next document is available. Fixed #51. Thanks edward(at)sweetbytes.net for the bug report.
- Improve output of float values. Fixed #49.
- Fix the bug when the path in add_path_resolver contains boolean values. Fixed #43 (thanks to jstroud(at)mbi.ucla.edu for reporting and pointing to the cause).
- Use the types module instead of constructing type objects by hand. Fixed #41. Thanks to v.haisman(at)sh.cvut.cz for the patch.
- Fix loss of microsecond precision in datetime.datetime constructor (fix #30). Thanks to edemaine(at)mit.edu for the bug report and the patch.
- Fixed loading an empty YAML stream.
3.04 (2006-08-20)
- Include experimental LibYAML bindings.
- Fully support recursive structures (close #5).
- Sort dictionary keys (close #23). Mapping node values are now represented as lists of pairs instead of dictionaries. Do not check for duplicate mapping keys as it didn't work correctly anyway.
- Fix invalid output of single-quoted scalars in cases when a single quote is not escaped when preceeded by whitespaces or line breaks (close #17).
- To make porting easier, rewrite Parser not using generators.
- Fix handling of unexpected block mapping values, like
: foo
- Fix a bug in Representer.represent_object: copy_reg.dispatch_table was not correctly handled.
- Fix a bug when a block scalar is incorrectly emitted in the simple key context.
- Hold references to the objects being represented (close #22).
- Make Representer not try to guess !!pairs when a list is represented.
- Fix timestamp constructing and representing (close #25).
- Fix the 'N' plain scalar being incorrectly recognized as !!bool (close #26).
3.03 (2006-06-19)
- Fix Python 2.5 compatibility issues.
- Fix numerous bugs in the float handling.
- Fix scanning some ill-formed documents.
- Other minor fixes.
3.02 (2006-05-15)

- Fix a bug in add_path_resolver.
- Add the yaml-highlight example. Try to run on a color terminal: python yaml_hl.py <any_document.yaml.
3.01 (2006-05-07)
- Initial release. The version number reflects the codename of the project (PyYAML 3000) and differenciates it from the abandoned PyYaml module.

Some high school graduates in Prince George's County, Md., may have to wait a little longer to fill their empty certificate cases after district officials said the word "program" was found misspelled on about 8,000 diplomas.
Briant Coleman, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Public Schools system, told the Washington Post that officials noticed the typo last week after commencements were under way.
Some students received diplomas stating that they had completed the district's approved "progam" of study.
"I would think it would be somebody's job to proof and reproof again, especially with something that serious," Oxon Hill High School graduate Terrence Odom told the newspaper. "We were all excited to get our diplomas. Now we have to wait to get the official one."
According to the Post, Coleman said National Quality Products, the vendor hired for the printing, apologized for the gaffe and will reprint the diplomas at no additional cost.
The school district said it will then pay to mail out the new diplomas, and students should receive them in about a month.
"We apologized for any inconvenience or disappointment this may have caused our students," Coleman said. "Our students have been disappointed and at the same time are relieved that they will be getting their new diplomas soon."
The school district is located just outside of Washington, D.C., and operates 23 high schools.

Hello, my name is Luc Hensley and I am the vice president of the Northern Colorado Disc Golf Club (NCDGC) in Fort Collins, CO. I am hoping to bring attention to a threat to disc golf in the northern Colorado area. The city of Fort Collins is proposing to reduce the beautiful Edora Park disc golf course from 18 holes to 9. We are vehemently opposed to this reduction. The course at Edora is over 20 years old and has long been a world-class tournament destination for players all over the area. Downsizing the course would be a devastating blow to the sport of disc golf in northern Colorado.
I have started a change.org petition to request that the city refrain from changing the course. I am humbly requesting for the petition to be spread as far as possible, and for anyone who supports disc golf to sign it and share it with their friends. We are hoping to gain 1,000 signatures before we present the petition to the Fort Collins city council. For updates on our fight players can check our official site or our facebook page. Thank you very much.
Note: I've also posted this on a few other forums including PDGA.com in hopes of spreading this as far and wide as possible. Please spread the petition via facebook if you can! Thank you!

This isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff, but I wanted to make a new thread about it in the hopes people see it.
Mark Deeks runs ShamSports.com. There's Larry Coon when you want to decipher the CBA, and then there's Mark Deeks when you want to decipher contracts. I have no clue who his sources are. I also have no reason whatsoever to doubt him.
So that means Green makes 3.33 for the next 3 years, and Mahinmi makes an even 4 million over the next 4. That helps explain, somewhat, how and why Scola and Brand weren't realistic amnesty options.Jason Kidd (3 yeas, $9.09m), Ian Mahinmi (4 years, $16m), Gerald Green (3 years, $10.5m) - all flat & fully guaranteed with no option years.

Men: the Victims
Corey Pein's article on domestic violence is deeply inaccurate. A woman can get a restraining order on a man merely by saying she's afraid of him, and they do it all the time. Restraining orders are given out like candy. It requires no evidence and you don't even need to allege wrongdoing. Also, the story makes no mention of false allegations, another scourge of the courts. Women make false allegations of domestic violence to get revenge or as a tool in custody battles. Meanwhile, men keep it secret when they are victimized by women. The net result is that domestic violence statistics are skewed to make it appear that men are the abusers and women the victims.
Jay Lander

Taught From Birth
Your cover story on domestic violence is wrong where it states "the vast majority of violent abusers are men." An annotated bibliography of 256 studies demonstrates women are as physically aggressive or more aggressive than men with their partners. Mediaradar.org provides rich data showing women are just as likely to commit domestic violence, that men sustain over one-third of domestic-violence-related injuries, but are less likely to report it. A May 2007 Center for Disease Control [and Prevention] study concluded, "In nonreciprocally violent relationships (meaning only one person was violent), women were the perpetrators in more than 70 percent of the cases." Yes some men are violent toward women. But most men have learned from birth to never strike a woman, and women are not taught the equivalent lesson. You can learn the men's perspective on domestic violence at dvmen.org.
Florence Vigil

I appreciated the information, interviews and statistics in your article on domestic violence and I understand the outrage expressed by the reporter, but publishing the photo of a 70-year-old man, who had already spent time in jail, seems to me a tactic of humiliation that seldom helps the victim or the perpetrator.

History Gutted
I have enjoyed Zane Fischer's perceptive columns about the hideous reconstruction of the Hotel St. Francis. It used to be so charming but is now a Tuscan monstrosity—boring, pretentious, cold and barren. Not an ounce of warmth of the old hotel interior. St. Francis himself would have hated it. I blame Heritage Hotels [and Resorts owner] Jim Long and his well-paid minions for this architectural butchering. Zane is right that our Historic Design Review Board should protect the historic insides of public places—not just the outsides. For what good is protecting the shell of a building when its guts have been ripped out?
Bravo, Zane. Keep on taking on the corporate raiders who are bent on destroying historic Santa Fe under specious and greedy guises.

Dining Pleasure
I was delighted with Zane Fischer's review of Joe's' Harvest Wine Dinner. Hearing the convivial sound of laughter and clinking wine glasses, watching children and their parents enjoy a family meal, overhearing a neighboring table's intellectual discussion, watching singles with their laptops working away in a corner or the tango dancers on selected Sunday evenings are a few of my reasons for enjoying Joe's, and I haven't even mentioned the delicious food, which is, for the most part, organic (a must for me) and often prepared to my order.
As a lover of Russian and Eastern European cuisine, the recent addition of Yuri "Z" (Zinchenko) to the staff fills me with anticipation! If, as I do, you love this food—and especially if you remember Yuri's tiny café in Santa Fe Village—you will want to go to Joe's soon.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I have a cousin for whom there are no irrelevant music acts, just artists and bands most people don't pay attention to anymore.Edwin McCain hasn't had a hit single since 1999's "I Could Not Ask For More" (which country singer Sara Evans made a hit of her own in 2001) and hasn't been signed to a major label since his 2001 release Far From Over. Yet my cousin still attends his shows regularly and speaks highly of the five original albums McCain has produced since. My sister and I often joke about my cousin's penchant for these minor recordings by largely forgotten bands like Dishwalla and Better Than Ezra. But I'm starting to suspect my sibling and I are the freaks in this exchange. John Fogerty is closing South By Southwest this year and, in May, is releasing Wrote a Song for Everyone -- a duets album featuring Foo Fighters, Jennifer Hudson, Kid Rock and My Morning Jacket helping him out on Creedence Clearwater Revival and solo songs. Yet the man released an album of new original songs as recently as 2007 and, by the end of 2013, will have released four albums within the last decade. Basically, if you stopped caring at "Centerfield" back in 1985, you've missed a whole lot of Fogerty -- which includes a collaboration with Bruce Springsteen on a cover of "When Will I Be Loved" on 2009's The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.
Yet the world doesn't stop for the release of a John Fogerty album the way it does when Bruce Springsteen puts out a new album or when David Bowie's The Next Day -- his first album of new material in a decade -- becomes a cultural event and a reflection on the zeitgeist. That doesn't stop faded music stars' worlds from turning, though. The discussion board of an A.V. Club story reviewing the documentary Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey about current Journey frontman Ariel Pineda recently lit up with a discussion about what happens to bands after their initial burst of fame. A commenter with the handle El Sabor Asiatico noted that Journey has produced four albums since their longest-tenured and most famous frontman Steve Perry left the band for health reasons in 1998. In fact, Steve Perry sound-alikes Pineda and Steve Augeri's 15-year tenure with Journey is more than twice as long as the span in the late-'70s and early '80s when Journey produced the overwhelming majority of its hits.

Here is pretty much all you need to know about this game. In the last 5:30 we scored 2 points, both from the free throw line. This is a common theme with our club and has been all season long, we just go through such long extended droughts that I dont care how good your defense is you are not going to win games doing that.
You wont beat bad teams playing like that and you are lucky if you dont get a 20 point loss put on you by really good teams, which Oklahoma City is.
There is no shame in losing to the Thunder, I think if we were all honest if we looked at the schedule prior to the season even with Danny here we all pretty much had this written off as a loss. But its games like this that make those Toronto, Minnesota & Charlotte games so hard to swallow.
We have now dropped to 9th in the East and sadly two full games back of Chicago for the Central division lead. I know its early in the season but we have to be mindful of our position if we want any kind of home court for the playoffs playing a lower seed instead of being the sacrificial lamb to one of the top 3 teams.
There really isnt a lot to say about this game, we actually didnt play badly. I mean sure there were things I would like to have seen us do differently, like not benching Lance to end the game. But at the end of the day Durant & Westbrook just took over, like they do against several teams.
Yes we all saw what happened to Roy, again. I was very surprised when Frank benched him for the rest of the game in favor of Ian. I wasnt opposed to it mind you but I was surprised.
At this point in time the only thing we can do is wait for this to pass and just pray that this is not the new normal for Roy.
Here is how pathetic our bench has been all season. I have to look at this 8 point game from Gerald Green and pretend like this was a good game for him. I mean in the grand scheme of things he didnt play poorly although I dont feel he did anything to merit playing at the end of the game. But I think the expectations coming into the season was a little higher than this.
West was his usual problematic self for our club and Tyler was his usual ineffective self as well. This is a trend for both players with the later not being a good thing.
Oh speaking of the bench did you know that Kevin Martin by himself outscored our entire bench? Its true he had 24 and our entire bench produced 20 points.
Tonight lets just do the good the bad and the ugly.
The Good:
David West once again produced for our club. He ran out of gas at the end of the day and only contributed 2 points in the 4th (I think) but OKC did a very good job of denying him the ball and when he did get it they rushed two defenders at him to make him give it up quickly. I have a real concern for the min. he is having to absorb right now, I cant blame Frank at all because honestly the guy is our only real consistent scorer and Hansbrough has been absolute garbage lately. But I just dont know how long he can continue at this pace.
Paul George had another good night playing against one of the premier players in the NBA. I dont care that he got blocked by Ibaka, what I do care about is that he had the tenacity to drive and attempt to ram that down Ibaka throat. Its the NBA your going to get blocked but more often than not you can end up at the line or if not you will have a spectacular dunk or miss either way. I know he is going to get a lot of credit for what he did on Durant in the first half and he should but there were a few times I saw Lance on Durant and it worked out just as well. BTW that fast break he ran with Lance was superb.
Lance Stephenson had a really good game. I have no idea why he was not in there at the end instead of Green. We desperately needed someone who could make something out of nothing in that case and Lance is one of those types of players. Frank may have been afraid that he is also one of those types of players who will make a massive mistake as well but in this case I think the tradeoff would have justified it. Either way I was proud of Lance for recognizing that Martin is a horrid defender and attacked him whenever he could. Also as I said above there were a few times that Lance got Durant on a switch and honestly I cant think of one time Durant burnt him. Good overall game from Lance.
The Bad:
Tyler Hansbrough was just brutal. Last season they would let him and West play together so that often times Tyler had almost 20 in a lot of games. This year if he gets 12 hes lucky and often times we are not. I guess at the end of the day he is what he is and every so many games he will drop a gem of a game on you where he comes in and causes havoc in the paint and draws fouls. But those games are getting fewer and fewer and farther between games.
By all rights I want to put D.J. Augustin here because once again he had 2-1 turnover to assist ratio. But he did manage to slop up a couple of Tyler type crap shots that went in so I guess for him that constitutes some form of success.
The Ugly:
I know that we all want to put DJ out to pasture but in all honesty I wonder if it isnt time to give Pendegraph or preferably Plumlee some run at the backup 4 spot for a few min. a game just to see what we can get. I know it will never happen but honestly Im tired of waiting for consistency from Tyler.
Ha, bet you thought you were in for some AC/DC
