Living in the Upper East Side
Upper East Side living means having it all in your own backyard. Enjoy afternoons at the Central Park Zoo, linger over collections and exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, indulge luxury shopping fantasies at Barneys, and sip cocktails at the Penrose.
Families with names like Rockefeller and Kennedy aren't the only ones who can partake of its charms. June's Museum Mile Festival is New York's biggest block party, when Fifth Avenue shuts down and the museums open to all.
Quotidian life is quieter. The Upper East Side is a clean and safe neighborhood whose inhabitants range from retirees to young professionals on the go. And the area is easily accessible, with public transportation including buses and the 4, 5 and 6 subway lines.
Upper East Side history
This area's architectural gems serve as signposts for the area's narrative. In 1799, wealthy merchant Archibald Grace began construction on the landmark Gracie Mansion. This Federal-style dwelling served as Gracie's private residence until the aftermath of the War of 1812 bankrupted him. For decades it housed a succession of museums until 1942, when it became the 'Little White House' designated for New York City mayors.
Through the early 1900s, gilded age mansions sat comfortably near the Queen Anne style row houses constructed for the middle class. Then they were torn down, replaced by townhomes and apartments row houses crafted with great attention to detail. Iron and glass entrance hoods and Renaissance-inspired carvings on façades still stand sentry. Architectural history flourishes, thanks in part to conservation efforts.
Upper East Side real estate
Buyers with conservative budgets as well as those with more to spend will find treasure troves of real estate offerings in the Upper East Side. Walk-ups and high-rises mix easily with stately townhomes, while co-ops, exposed-brick studios and modern high-end apartments present abundant housing options. Upper East Side real estate encapsulates the hip yet established atmosphere and sophisticated style still in demand today. Georgian, Victorian, Neo-Federal and Art Deco styles abound, and genteel, friendly living reigns.
Upper East Side shopping
Madison Avenue has well earned its moniker as the 'Gold Coast' of high-end Upper East Side shopping. Whether it's animal print skinny pants at Roberto Cavalli, hip chunky boots at Chloé, handbags from Prada or jewelry from Cartier, boutique shopping abounds. Or for a variety of big designer labels all under one roof, look no further than the legendary Bloomingdale's.
Even bargain-hunting is an event in this neighborhood. The Society Boutique thrift store, which sells Gucci, Valentino, Armani and more, raises funds for Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital. Here, designer wear and accessories go for prices unheard of at any flagship store.
Upper East Side nightlife
Upper East Side nightlife is dynamic. For a Roaring Twenties feel, the Mark Restaurant and Bar in the Mark Hotel echoes the building's 1927 Art Deco design. Or you can catch a glimpse of comedians like Conan O'Brien and cast members from "Saturday Night Live" performing at Comic Strip Live.
For a low-key ambience, visit the rustic Bondurants, a brick-walled bar featuring craft beer, a rotating draft list, bourbon, handcrafted cocktails and good old Southern fare. Alternatively, the Auction House's baroque decor makes for an ideal intimate atmosphere.
Sugary pick-me-ups at delightful bakery Two Little Red Hens or a nightcap at the Carlyle Hotel's Bemelmans Bar are both appealing options for rounding out the evening.
Upper East Side parks
The Upper East Side teems with magnificent green spaces, not least of which is Central Park. Here you can enjoy a free walking tour or visit the zoo. It's easy to spend entire days exploring everything Central Park has to offer, from the Shakespeare Garden to the vintage carousel, iterations of which have been in operation since 1871. Almost 60 hand-carved and hand-painted wooden horses make up this ride, one of the largest merry-go-rounds in the country.
Though considerably smaller than Central Park, Carl Schurtz Park, John Jay Park, and Riverside Park are no less enjoyable. With two dog runs, Carl Schurtz Park is the perfect playground for canine friends, while John Jay's two pools entice swimmers. Meanwhile, Riverside Park's lush four-mile promenade stretching along the Hudson River beckons bikers and walkers.
Upper East Side restaurants
Upper East Side dining is as simple or elaborate as you want it to be, and the ambience is just as much a part of the dining experience as the food itself. Romantic dinners in the Pierre Hotel's Rotunda Room are feasts for the palate and the eyes alike. Meticulously restored murals line the oval-shaped room, and clouds meandering across the blue-sky ceiling make for exquisite views from any seat.
For a burger or a hearty breakfast, old time diners have you covered. Comfy locales like Neil's Coffee Shop, near Hunter College, serve up eggs and coffee just as they did fifty years ago.
Upper East Side events
There is seemingly no end to the array of events happening at any given time in the Upper East Side. Street fairs and festivals abound, and many are budget-friendly, if not free. Annual events include the Halloween Howl and Healthy Hound Fair at Carl Schurtz Park, where dog lovers are invited to enjoy a parade of pooches decked out for the costume competition.
Summer Streets happens from 7am to 1pm on the first three Saturdays in August. Similar to the Museum Mile Festival, streets close down to traffic and open up to everyone else. And the famous New York City Marathon is yet another annual event that provides Upper East Siders a prime front row seat.
Upper East Side attractions
The prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of myriad exciting museums in the Upper East Side. Lesser known are the Neue Galerie, which concentrates on early 20th Century German and Austrian art and design, and El Museo del Barrio, which exhibits pre-Columbian through modern Latino art and culture from South America.
Housed in a Fifth Avenue mansion, the Frick Collection showcases a number of masterworks and hosts seasonal concert series and educational programs.
You can also participate in events for all ages at the 92nd Street Y. This 140-year-old Jewish organization enriches lives through the visual and performing arts, literature, culture and education.
"Starting at 96 and Second Ave. as far as 63rd Street change is coming for the good."

George Browne Post (born December 15, 1837 in New York City) became one of the most prominent architects in turn-of-the-century America. Famous for his role in designing early skyscrapers, Post developed important relationships through his association with Gilded Age architect Richard Morris Hunt—especially connections to the wealthy Vanderbilt family—that enabled Post to design with many European architectural styles, including Beaux Arts and Chateauesque. Post experimented with new building materials and methods, like using steel to frame tall buildings, and embraced the latest technologies, such as the elevator. His architecture took on many popular styles of his day, including Neoclassical, Renaissance Revival, and Romanesque Revival.

Post earned a degree in Civil Engineering from New York University in 1858. He apprenticed with Richard Morris Hunt, a Paris-trained American expert in Beaux Arts and Renaissance Revival architecture. Post was well-prepared to begin his partnership in 1860 with Charles D. Gambrill. The US Civil War disrupted Post's career, as he joined the New York Volunteers from 1861-1865, serving as Officer of the 22nd Regiment. In 1863, Post married Alice M. Stone, and after the war he established his own architectural firm, George B. Post & Sons. The Posts had four sons and one daughter.

George Post has been called an architect of capitalism, of classical revival, and an architect of a period that historians often call the American Renaissance. Spanning from the 1876 Centennial Celebration of American Independence (i.e., the World's Fair in Philadelphia that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Indpendence) until entry into a great World War in 1917, the American Renaissance was an era of nationalistic pride, economic growth, technological progress, and industrial revolution. Not quite as famous or historically significant as his contemporary Henry Hobson Richardson, George Post was one of the American-born architects to adapt European styles to represent American ideals.

Although his architecture draws upon historical details, George Post pioneered the architecture that forms our contemporary skyline. His eight-story Equitable Life Assurance Society Building (1870) incorporated the new elevator technology—an innovation which made it more practical to design tall buildings of steel. Post's Western Union Building (1875) rose to ten stories and set the standard for record-breaking office towers. Soaring twenty-stories high, Post's New York World Building (1890) was once the tallest building in New York City.

Unfortunately, many of Post's buildings have been demolished in the name of progress. His neo-Renaissance Product Exchange Building and his French-inspired New York Produce Exchange Building were both destroyed in 1957. Also lost are his New York Cotton Exchange Building and his Union Trust Building in New York.

Nevertheless, George Post remains an integral part of the American Renaissance movement in design, and a leader in the development of a more modern architecture. The astonishing skyscrapers we see today could not exist if not for the early tall buildings designed by the likes of George Post.

Post died November 28, 1913 at his summer home in Bernardsville, New Jersey.

Thank you for your coverage of this story. Every incident mentioned above is well documented. It is more than obvious no attempt is being made to change operational procedure at MAS. It is well beyond time for Mayor AC Wharton (ultimately responsible for the operation of MAS, as well as personally responsible for the appointment of James Rogers as director) to publicly and specifically address the citizens of Memphis, regarding these atrocities, and a plan to immediately correct all problems.
James Rogers has claimed that these problems would be corrected on numerous occasions, with zero results. He no longer deserves to be part of the equation.
Good Luck to you, Bruce! On another note, Andria's story of the absurd reminded me of my own - Several years ago, I was stopped for 'running' a yellow light. Seriously. That's not the absurd part, though. The officer approached the car with the usual 'do you know why...' I said no. 'You ran a yellow light.' That's right, folks - he didn't even try to make it a red, and it wasn't. He then continued; 'Don't you know what a yellow light means?' Me: 'Yes, proceed with caution.' Him: 'NO! It means it's fixin (yes, he said 'fixin') to turn red! You should have stopped!' My reply: Oh! So that means if it's red, it's 'fixin' to turn green, and I should go, right?' Yeah, I got the ticket (me and my mouth...) BUT - I fought it, and I won. True story. :-)
John Coryat - as Jeff (and the article) said, there is already a license law on the books! How about we start by holding MAS responsible for enforcing it consistently?
I agree with Dr. Towers' idea that the fee for unaltered animals be raised (significantly!), but then again, if an owner is irresponsible enough not to spay/neuter, what makes anyone think they'd run out and get a license for said animal?
Bravo, Southern Beale, on your 2 points! There is actually a picture circulating on facebook that says the same thing as the twitter feed. I was just about to sound off about how ridiculous the statement is in reality. I'm 100% behind the 2nd Amendment, but to think this tragedy would have been avoided simply by having one moviegoer with a gun is utter stupidity.
The Cilantro/Lime/Jalapeno pesto is delicious, and freezes well in small portions. Looking forward to using some on a cold day this winter!
I think this is a great outcome, on all counts! (well, except for Mr. Dowdy, who pretty much ruined his credibility by his public statements). Thanks to Judge Potter, for being open minded, and apparently, 'going above and beyond' his duties in this case. I hope this is the beginning of wonderful things to come, ie; the city helping to turn blighted properties all over Memphis into functioning community gardens. Congratulations, Adam! I'll be following future developments closely - I hope my fellow Memphians will also - this is proof that, working together, we CAN make a change!
I place blame with both Judge Potter & Code Enforcement - I agree that Judge Potter has done some pretty great things with Environmental Court. He has welcomed kudos for those things, now it's time for a little discontent.
Adam Guerrero is one of a small faction of citizens of Memphis who do what they can to help our city. His work with these 3 young men is only the tip of the iceberg - he works with many young people to steer them in a direction other than the one their circumstances may lead them in. He has also worked to provide healthier food options to the residents of Memphis' well-known 'food deserts'.
It amazes me that anyone would vilify his efforts, given our current state of affairs.
What angers me most of all is that Adam Guerrero is being harassed for his efforts, while here in Midtown, my neighbors and I are forced to deal with a house that has been abandoned for many years, & is a constant draw for drug users, and other undesirables. No one is willing to help us, because the family that owns the property is well known in Memphis (read $$), pays the taxes on the property, & has it listed for sale at an exorbitant price, claiming it is 'prime' real estate. Someone's priorities are out of order...

An Arizona police officer with the Goodyear Police Department was arrested for secretly recording more than 20 women while they changed at a tanning salon, Avondale police say.
Jeffrey Streeter, a nine-year veteran was charged with 21 counts of surreptitious recording and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
A 20-year-old female customer at Desert Escape Tanning Center noticed a camera phone on the top of a changing room dividing wall as she undressed Oct. 15, according to azcentral.com. Streeter, 44, was in the stall next to her, police said.
Streeter told authorities he put his gun on top of the 8-foot wall, not a phone. But police said that was improbable.
When investigators searched Streeter's phone, they found video recordings of 21 women, police said. They said they also found evidence the phone's memory card had been formatted to try to erase its contents.
The recordings were most likely taped over a time frame of one to three months at the same salon.
Streeter was arrested Oct. 29 and has been placed on administrative leave pending the result of an administrative investigation, Goodyear Police Chief Jerry Geier said.

Amanda's Quest
2016 Finalist in Fantasy
Next Generation Indie Book Awards
I am honored that Amanda's Quest was recognized in the Fantasy Category. It is a privilege to be included with such impressive past and present authors who submitted books to the competition. To some, competitions are scary; to many, competitions challenge personal confidence. To all, the out come of competitions are uncertain.
In Letters to Juliet, screenwriters José Rivera and Tim Sullivan set a scene in the middle of a wedding ceremony where Claire, played by Vanessa Redgrave, reads a letter about the possibilities of love.
"'What' and 'if' are two words as none threatening as words can be, but, put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you the rest of your life. What if. What if? What if. …."
For me, it's a moving scene empowering the viewers to believe. What? If? I am very honored to be recognized as a finalist. What if I had not submitted Amanda's Quest for the competition. You never know what the results may be. But, over the last few weeks, I have reflected on why I writing. Its purpose. It meaning.
In Hamlet, Act 1, Scence 3, Polonius says to his son, Laertes:
"This above all: to thine own self be true, …"
I love to write for the readers to enjoy my stories. I loved to tell my children impromptu bedtime stories about forest animals. I loved to design AD&D campaigns with surprises to keep the players guessing, hoping to increase their enjoyment. And I enjoy writing for you.

In reply to:
Re: immigation/emigration of Emby
Thank you for your reply. Your husband is definitely my mother's first cousin. My grandmother was Agnes Maud Emby Lowther. My mother is Alice Lowther Matravers. I heard many nice stories about Uncle Charlie and his wife (was it Auntie Dorothy?). We're in touch with Ruben's (your husband's uncle) daughter, Anne, in England and your husband's grandfather's family in Derry. What a small world! It is a pleasure to connect with you.

Volunteer tutors and mentors play a significant role in our students' success. Learn more about each of these opportunities below.
Each school year we look for dedicated UC San Diego students, parents, community members, retired teachers and anyone else interested in volunteering as a tutor or intern. It's a great and easy way to give back and meet some wonderful students.
We have classes from 6th – 12th grade, which meet from 9am to 4pm. Tutor positions are available in all classroom subjects such as math, science, history, english, spanish, music and fine arts. Volunteer tutors usually come in for an hour and a half, twice a week (Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday). Tutors volunteer between 3-6 hours weekly.
Internships are available helping in various departments including HR Dept., Volunteer Programs, Admissions, Front Office, Student Services, and Library. Interns do not work directly with students, instead they help in the different offices providing assistance with data entry, filing, updating brochures and flyers, and/or helping in organizing events. Interns volunteer between 6-10 hours weekly.
Click here to complete the Volunteer Tutor/Intern Application
Your application must be submitted along with a copy of the following:
All Volunteers must attend a tutor/intern orientation. All orientations are held in the large conference room in the main office. You will receive further instruction on tutoring or internship assignments at orientation. Applicants are given the opportunity to put their application on hold for the following quarter when an assignment is not possible due to schedule conflicts and/or tutor and intern volunteer opportunities are full.
Turn in documents during the Tutor/Intern Orientation. Once the application and additional materials are received, it will be processed. This includes a background check against the Megan's Law Database.
Please note: Due to the large amount of applicants each UCSD quarter we do not guarantee a volunteering assignment will be given.
Members of the community—faculty included—serve as mentors for Preuss students. Mentors act in a capacity of role model, teacher and friend to encourage and motivate students to reach their educational and personal goals. Often the exchange between the pair is educational for both, as each person brings his or her own unique experiences to the exchanges.
Quarterly meetings are planned and activities for the mentor/mentee pairs are also scheduled throughout the year. A mentor is paired with one student, and they meet on the school's campus either during lunch or the University Prep class for one year at least once a week for 30 - 45 minutes.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor please complete mentor application.
Your application must be submitted along with a copy of the following:
After the application has been received and reviewed, we will contact you to schedule a Mentor Orientation and discuss the procedures involved with the mandatory California Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal back ground checks, which includes finger printing.
Other Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants must be older than 21 years and older or 3rd year university students.

On Saturday, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society is giving Johnson its highest civilian award, the National Patriots Award, bestowed upon people it calls "distinguished Americans who exemplify the ideals that make our country strong."
Johnson said he's "in awe" of being in the company of the Medal of Honor recipients.
"Those guys are the greatest patriots America could ever ask for," he said. "I know how much they sacrificed to get the Medal of Honor, and I don't take their recognition lightly."
The CMHS cited Johnson's 29 years in the Air Force, nearly seven years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and 18 years as a member of Congress as the impetus for the distinction.
Mike Thornton, a Medal of Honor recipient and former CMHS board member, submitted Johnson's name for the society's 2009 awards.
Johnson "never gave up," Thornton said.
"Even after coming home and being crippled, Sam still served his country," he said.
To this day, Johnson remains severely disabled as a result of the torture he endured while in captivity.
"I think you have to respect a man that believes in this country so much that after being a POW, he continued to serve in uniform as well as in Congress," Thornton said.
Johnson spent almost seven years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam after his plane was shot down in 1966. He spent three and a half of those years in solitary confinement, 72 days in leg stocks and two and a half years in leg irons. He lost 80 pounds, subsisting mostly on river weeds, pig fat, white rice and pumpkin soup. He used a special finger-tapping code to commit 374 of his fellow prisoners' names to memory so that, if he escaped, he could tell officials and their loved ones that they were still alive.
Johnson was freed in 1973. He came to Congress in 1991 after retiring from the Air Force, starting a homebuilding business and serving in the Texas Legislature.
He said he has not tired of talking about his POW experience.
"I think people need to know what happened over there," Johnson said. "It's part of our history."
Past recipients of the CMHS awards include Sen. John McCainJohn Sidney McCainGOP rushes to cut ties to Moore GOP strategist: 'There needs to be a repudiation' of Roy Moore by Republicans World leaders reach agreement on trade deal without United States: report MORE (R-Ariz.), two-time presidential candidate H. Ross Perot, former first lady Laura Bush and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Johnson is scheduled to receive the award Saturday at a gala in Dallas.

Mike Farris may be best known as lead vocalist and writer for the acclaimed '90s rock band The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, but it was only after he pursued his own musical direction in the early '00s that he found his calling. Taking a path that weaves together rock, blues, and gospel has allowed him to rediscover and reinterpret traditional Black gospel music and add his own mix of Stax-influenced blue-eyed soul.
In 2008, Farris won the prestigious Americana Music Award for Best New and Emerging Artist, as well as a Dove Award in 2009 for the Best Traditional Gospel album of the year for SHOUT! Live (2009). Festival appearances that year at Hardly Strictly, Telluride Bluegrass, Strawberry Festival, the ACL Festival, Bonnaroo, and many more solidified the impact of the live music experience that is Mike Farris & The Roseland Rhythm Revue. Farris performs solo, as an acoustic quartet, as a five-piece electric band, or with the nine-piece Revue, but no matter what the configuration, his energy and sheer talent always leaves the audience wanting more.
Sam Lewis is connecting the dots. Whether crossing genres or state lines, he has pieced together a story people need to hear...
Music was one of the few constants in Sam's life. His family never stayed anywhere for long, which meant that friendships were forged between himself and the music he absorbed, from Roy Orbison to Van Morrison to Willie Nelson. The influence of Ray Charles can be felt from the first note to the last beat, making Sam's debut a complimentary companion to Charles' own, two-volume Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. Leaving home as soon as the opportunity arrived, Sam landed in Knoxville, and later Nashville.
Sam has spent hours, in fact years, collecting and arranging the relationships and experiences he has forged. To the average person, they seem like an amalgamation of time and happenstance, but to him, they are the moral of the story. "I never once felt, in this whole process that someone just kind of pointed. No one took me by the hand, but almost every single one of these connections were very personal. I was introduced to these people that helped make this record. These are gonna be people that I'm going to know the rest of my life." Lewis has drawn us a clear picture of where he's going, and thankfully, he has invited us along for the ride.

Hour with/without preceding zero
One gotcha is the difference between the hour in 12 hour time with and without a preceding zero. In some fonts they look the same.
With preceding zero (capital I)
Time.now.strftime("%I:%M") # => 05:21
Without preceding zero (lowercase L)
Time.now.strftime("%l:%M") # => 5:21

One gotcha is the difference between the hour in 12 hour time with and without a preceding zero. In some fonts they look the same.

Time.now.strftime("%l:%M") # => 5:21
Here's how to use it, just so it's perfectly clear:
skip_before_filter :method_to_skip, :only => [:method_name]
Deprecated - replacement method
The description rightly lists this as deprecated, but using it will still work atm, as it seems to have moved to ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Module instead.
So your code should still work.
multiple filter example
actually you can have it even shorter with:
before_filter :authorize, :set_locale, :except => :login
Gotcha with method calls inside select loop
Keep in mind that any methods you call on the object in the select loop will be strung together when the Javascript is rendered. For example:
page.select(".shipping_type_fee").each do |td| td.down("span").update("--").show td.down("img").hide end
will be rendered as:
$$('.shipping_type_fee').each(function(value, index) { value.down("span").update("--").show().down("img").hide(); });
This is probably not what you want!
No documentation here…
…but you're probably looking for ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection::ClassMethods
usage helper with block
helper example
def my_helper(&block) inner = capture(&block) out = "<somehtml>#{inner}</somehtml>" block_called_from_erb?(block) ? concat(out) : out end
view example
<% my_helper do %> sometext <% end %>
not sure but block_called_from_erb? seems to be the replacement
if you get NameError: uninitialized constant ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
I got hit with this on an upgrade. Had a reference to ApplicationController::Base in development.rb (prod as well) which caused this problem http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1977
Fix was to remove the loading of ApplicationController::Base and put it in an initializer (where it should have been).
Content_tag in helpers
Content_tag works great in a helper and is a nice way to clean up your views.
If you're returning more than one content_tag you'll need to concat them:
@content = content_tag(:tr, "first item") @content << content_tag(:tr, "second item")
Be mindful that when doing the above, you must use parentheses around the content_tag options. In the above example, content_tag :tr, "second item" will return an error.
Finding all records WITHOUT associations
(Thanks to someone on the rails IRC channel who gave me this tip.)
Where Users and Events have a habtm relationship, to find all Users that have no events:
User.find(:all, :include => :events, :conditions => { "events_users.event_id" => nil})
(Note that when specifying a condition on a joined table, you have to put the field name in a string rather than a symbol. In the above example, :events_users.event_id will not work.)
New and improved version
As this method is now deprecated, check the documentation for the new version (adds some more options), which gets included via a module:
So, how do you enable db sessions?
First, run:
rake db:sessions:create
Then, run your pending migrations. This will create the migration you need to run in order to create the sessions table.
Second, go into config/environment.rb and uncomment or put in:
config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => '_your_session_name_here', :secret => 'SOME_CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY_SECURE_KEY' }
Third, get yourself a secure key with:
rake secret
And finally, paste your new key into the :secret above.
Generating empty conditions
In some cases, you might find it useful for your lamba to generate empty conditions based on the passed parameter.
Class Article << ActiveRecord::Base named_scope :category, lambda { |cat| if cat == :all { :conditions => {} } else { :conditions => { :category_id => cat } } end } end
Allows you to call something like this:
categories = user_is_admin ? :all : @current_category Article.category(categories)
Mostly useful when chaining named_scopes together. Avoids more complicated if statements.
Passing optional arguments with defaults to a named_scope
An easy way to do this. (This also shows how you can use joins in a named_scope as well.)
Class User << ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :semester named_scope :year, lambda { |*year| if year.empty? || year.first.nil? { :joins => :semester, :conditions => ["year = #{CURRENT_SEMESTER}"]} else { :joins => :semester, :conditions => ["year = #{year}"]} end } end
You can then call:
User.year # defaults to CURRENT_SEMESTER constant User.year() # same as above User.year(nil) # same as above; useful if passing a param value that may or may not exist, ie, param[:year] User.year(2010)
Remember, named_scope returns an array
named_scope always returns a named_scope object, that acts like an array, even if you're using it to only find one record. So if you're trying to perform an association on the results of a named_scope, use the first method to return the model object and not the named_scope object.
user = User.my_name_scope user.articles # assuming User has_many Articles
will return an error. use this instead:
user = User.my_named_scope.first user.articles
(Of course this is a poor example because what you should be doing is performing the named_scope on Article with user as the condition, instead of on User. But if you do need to use the results of a named_scope to perform an association call, you have to do it this way to avoid an error.)
Use helpers in your ActionMailer views
It's very easy to give your mailer access to helpers:
# Let your mailer user the ApplicationHelper methods class MyMailer < ActionMailer::Base helper :application end
Use the current URL, with changes
You can use the current URL, whatever it is, with changes, as in:
# Create a link to the current page in RSS form url_for(:overwrite_params => {:format => :rss})
This can be super-helpful because it preserves any GET params (like search parameters)
Broadened Flash helper
Building on the below excellent example, you can create something with default options for how long it's displayed and how long the fade is, and highlight:
def show_flash(options={}) options = {:fade => 3, :display => 3, :highlight => true}.merge(options) html = content_tag(:div, flash.collect{ |key,msg| content_tag(:div, msg, :class => key, :attributes => "style = display: none;") }, :id => 'flash-message') html << content_tag(:script, "new Effect.Highlight('flash-message');") if options[:highlight] html << content_tag(:script, "$('flash-message').appear();") html << content_tag(:script, "setTimeout(\"$('flash-message').fade({duration: #{options[:fade]}});\", #{options[:display]*1000});") end
Nested Model Forms
For a good example of nested model forms check out the rails blog.
You can put some expression too. For example for I18n (using haml on view):
# some_locale.yml
links: contacts: "My contacts"
# index.html.haml
= link_to "#{t "links.contacts"}", :action => 'contacts'
Better autopad numbers
There is a much better way than to use diwadn's method if you want to pad numbers with zeros. Here's my recommended way to do it:
"Number: %010d" % 12345 #=> "Number: 0000012345"
It's very easy. First we begin our placeholder with "%", then we specify a zero (0) to signify padding with zeros. If we omitted this zero, the number would be padded with spaces instead. When we have done that, just specify the target length of the string. At last a single "d" is placed to signify that we are inserting a number.
Please see String#% and Kernel#sprintf for more information about how to do this.
Here's another example of how to do it:
12345.to_s.rjust(10, "0") #=> "0000012345"
See String#rjust for more information.
Any of these methods are a lot better than the method outlined below.
Post =form post, NOT the http POST method
Post =forum post, NOT the http POST method
Note: any "Post" on this page has nothing to do with http methods. When I just looked at the collection_select code I was thrown off.
link_to_remote renders javascript as text
If you want to render an RJS file with link to remote you shouldn't specify the :update function. Using this:
link_to_remote('add',:update=> 'someId', :url => {:controller => 'my_controller', :action => 'new'} ) # assume having 'my_controller/new.rjs'
will return something like
try { Element.update("someElement\n"); } catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString()); alert('Element.update(\"someId\", \"item\\n\");'); throw e }
You should be specifying the id you are updating in the RJS file, not in link_to_remote. This will render correctly:
link_to_remote('add',:url => {:controller => 'my_controller', :action => 'new'} ) # assume having 'my_controller/new.rjs'
Only use :update when rendering html.

LANE COMMUNITY, TEXAS. Lane Community, fourteen miles northeast of Canton on State Highway 19 in north central Van Zandt County, was named for early resident Jim Lane, who donated land for a local school that he helped to build by the 1890s. The school, which served as the community center, reached an enrollment of twenty-four in 1906 but burned by 1912. It was moved and consolidated with the Edgewood Independent School District in 1943. The town had no church until the 1930s, when a revival held near the schoolhouse led to the formation of a Church of God. Later, the Methodist church from Small moved to Lane. In 1936 a church, school, and multiple dwellings marked the townsite, but by 1965 only the church remained.

Beyond Faith and Reason
The commencement of any solitary creative endeavor is an act of faith. Depending upon our area of interest, we sit down with our notebooks or in front of our computers, we reflect upon the materials available to us, or we gaze upon our subject while sitting in front of a fresh white canvas. And as we do we have faith that something will materialize: a poem, a manuscript, a sculpture, a painting, etc. I'm steeped in such faith as I write these words, having promised the world in my last post that I'd have something meaningful to say under the title "Beyond Faith and Reason" -- without my having written a single word on the subject up until now!
In addition to faith, the creative process requires at least a modicum of reason and objectivity. The writing process especially requires a great deal of time spent in rational reflection on the work in progress: Have I made any spelling or grammatical mistakes? Is that the most appropriate word to use in this instance? Have I made my point as clearly as I might? Do my sentences have a pleasing rhythm and cadence, and do they flow well one into the next? These are merely rhetorical questions, by the way. You needn't answer each one in turn!
But perhaps this is not quite the type of faith you had in mind when you began reading this post. Perhaps it was faith of a more religious or spiritual ilk that I led you to believe I'd be exploring. Indeed. And so it is that I'll begin this post again in a way that allows even deeper examination of what I mean by "beyond faith and reason."
We enjoyed a span of cool summer weather a week or so ago -- cool enough to make one realize that autumn will be coming soon. I even saw a flock of geese rise up into the sky and gather into formation as if to begin their flight down south. Perhaps they're on their way even now. Anyway, it occurred to me as I watched them that they require neither faith nor reason in order to commence their usual migration. In oneness with their world they simply take their next breath, whether on the pond or in the grass or on the wing to warmer climes. A tree, likewise, needs neither faith nor reason for its sap to sink into its roots, thereby causing its leaves to be cast to the wind and its limbs to hang as if dead against the gray skies of winter.
But what do the natural ways of geese and trees have to do with the faith and reason of us humans? Geese and trees are simply part of the natural world. They've neither faith nor reason to move beyond. They simply are as the natural world dictates them to be. We humans, on the other hand, have little in the way of instinct to guide our modern lifestyles. What we have is self-awareness, free will, agency, and vast cognitive abilities -- all guided in varying degrees by whatever faith and reason we happen to have collected over the course of our lives. Ah, but is that all we have? Does the total of everything that we are add up to nothing more than the mere sum of our faith and reason? In order to answer that question, I must dispense with generalities and speak of my own experience. Anything else would be a form of reasoning by analogy, and reason (as well as faith) is something that I'm trying move beyond with this post. Here goes:
Year after year I've felt it. By the time the leaves begin to fall I too have begun to feel my "sap" sinking within me. The frenetic and outwardly-directed energy that fountained forth in abundance and propelled me through my various activities all summer long begins to wane. It pools for a time, manifesting as calm acceptance and patient watchfulness. And as it flows back to its source it ripples with introspection, contemplation and reflection. There is no denying my naturalness. I've lived this time and time again. My existence follows the rhythm of the natural world just as any other plant or animal. Neither faith nor reason makes it so.
This process quite naturally results in a reorientation and rededication of my meditation practice. It becomes easier for me to find the time to sit upon my cushion, and it becomes easier to settle into stillness once I do. It is in stillness that I feel closest to whatever it is that has put me here – whatever process has put me here. It is in stillness that I feel the questions of my existence gradually fade into the answer of my having arisen in conscious form. Does this strike you as a statement of my faith? It is not. Neither is it a statement founded in reason. It is merely a description of experience. It is not something that I believe to be so, nor is it something that I believe will be so. It is simply my experience of that which is.
It's not that I've never acted on faith; I have. Before I realized that my spiritual quest had taken me back to that which I already knew[1], it was indeed a quest. It was a journey that I had faith would take me to my destination. But faith in the Zen Buddhist sense is not like the faith of other religions. Dogen Zenji, one of the great Zen teachers, spoke of cultivation and verification. One can have faith in the Buddha. One can have faith in his teachings. One can have faith that awakening exists, and faith that the path that the Buddha prescribed will get us there. But until we cultivate a practice of our own we will never be able to verify truth for ourselves.
A person without sight can be told that the moon exists. They might have faith in what they're told about its color and its changing phases and what it means to those who gaze upon it. However, if an operation should ever afford them sight, they will then be able to dispense with whatever faith they might have had. They will have seen for themselves all that they had previously taken as true as a matter of faith. Likewise, one can dispense with faith after the verification that Dogen speaks of. Upon verification, one can forego adopting reasons or conjuring up explanations for why one sits in meditation. I meditate not because I have faith that it will do something. I meditate not because of any list of logical reasons that I might articulate, although I could articulate a few. I meditate because it is the most natural expression of who and what I am -- beyond faith and reason.
[1] That Which We Already Know is the title of the book that I'm in the final stages of editing. You may check it out here on Crossing Nebraska by searching on "That Which..." under the keywords.
And on that note: I'll be following my energy into greater stillness as these coming weeks progress. I will return after a brief hiatus. Thank you!

Diaz from Zamboanga City became the first female player to win an Olympic medal for the Philippines. She was also the first Filipino to medal in weightlifting, and the first non-boxer to medal from the Philippines since 1936.
In the snatch event, Diaz loose to lift two of her 3 attempts and total just 88 kg for 6th place in a tough field led by China and Chinese Taipei.
|Photo by Reuters
But Diaz, looking very relaxed and confident on the stage, successfully raised 111 kg in the first attempt and then an 112 kg lift in her second attempt. She failed to clear 117 kg on her third attempt.
A series of unlucky lifts happen the favored Li Yajun of China, who was a frontrunner in the snatch and was gunning for the gold. She failed to clear any of her 3 attempts at the clean and jerk, making Diaz grasp the silver instead of the bronze.
Chinese-Taipei's Hsu Shu-Ching won the gold with a total weight of 212 kg while Korea's Yoon Jin Hee took the bronze with 199 kg.
Other events where the Philippines is competing are athletics, boxing, golf, judo, swimming, table tennis and taekwondo.

Let's Spend The Night Together
Going home with a stranger is both scary and sexy. For Glen, an experimental artist, you become a blank canvas when you sleep with someone you don't know… and you can project onto that canvas whoever you want to be.
Brit writer / director Andrew Haigh's acclaimed 2011 film, Weekend, is a terrific little character study of two very different gay men. Russell and Glen meet in a dance club and spend the night together. Theirs will be a short romance; in two days Glen leaves to attend college in America. Nothing and everything happens, but over the weekend they will enjoy more passion and connection than most people will know in their lifetimes.
Russell (Tom Cullen) is a young English bloke who lives an ordinary life. He works as a lifeguard. Russell always says that things are "fine" but the timbre of his voice suggests otherwise. He is Godfather to his best friend Jamie's daughter. We will learn that he is an orphan and the only family he has is Jamie's. He is comfortable with them but restless; as the film begins he is smoking pot before going to visit. After enjoying their company, Russell needs to be with his own kind and leaves to indulge the other part of his life and get wasted in a gay bar.
Russell, already stoned when he gets there, drinks way more than he should. He meets Glen and takes him home. In the morning, over coffee, Glen teases Russell, telling him that he has broken an unwritten rule by brushing his teeth. "You smell all minty fresh," he says, "and I smell of cock and bum." Russell likes his bedmate's sense of humor. And then Glen reminds Russell why he came home with him. Demanding his "pound of flesh," he turns on a tape recorder. He wants Russell to talk about the sex that they had, and he is going to use the tape in some vague art project.
The film's first masterstroke was not showing the sex (we will see plenty more later). Russell was wasted and the two men remember things differently. We are invited to imagine what the sex was like by listening to their words. It is both erotic and confessional. With Glen's coaching, Russell opens up and describes their lovemaking in more detail. Glen's questions get more personal; at times also a bit snarky. He asks Russell why he wouldn't bottom. Is it because it would have made you feel too… gay? This question hits a nerve, especially when also asked if he is out.
It's the classic opposites attract scenario. Glen is an artist, and pretty militant about gay rights. Mostly closeted, Russell is only out to his best friend and a few others. He feels fine when he is in his apartment, but he is scared to be open in public. Even with Jamie he shares very little. At work, he has to listen to straight guy locker room talk. Riding the bus, he sees a straight couple making out and hears teenagers telling fag jokes. Russell is fine with being gay, but he doesn't like feeling different from the others.
Glen, on the other hand, could give a fuck. He alarms Russell when he yells out the window at some homophobic kids. Russell panics. "They'll chuck bricks through my window!" Glen replies, "You live 14 floors up." Again and again, Glen's sense of humor will be reassuring. Russell will admire Glen's comfort with being out and wonder why he can't be like that himself.
They meet again when Russell gets off work. Russell gives Glen a ride back to the apartment on his bicycle, and the scene is funny and charming without being cloying. They get high, they talk, they laugh, they have sex again. While there certainly seems to be quite a spark growing between them, living happily ever after is not in the cards. Glen reveals that he is leaving the country tomorrow. He is going to Portland, Oregon for a two year art study. He also makes it clear that he doesn't do boyfriends. This is too bad for Russell. He clearly wishes that things could be otherwise.
Glen might be feeling the same way too, even if he doesn't admit it. He invites Russell to come out with some friends that night to see him off. They ditch the friends, ride bumper cars in an amusement park and then go back to Russell's place. They get stoned, they talk, they have sex, they talk some more. Bring stoned, of course, makes it easier to open up and their conversations become more and more confessional.
It's a pity that Glen is going away because these guys have amazing chemistry together. There is a terrific early scene where they smoke some pot and share one of those great laughs that make life worth living. Russell says that he lived in foster homes until he was 16, and Glen tells him that he finds the whole orphan thing sexy. When Russell begins to giggle and asks if he is mocking his "tragic childhood," Glen tells him that he just imagined him as Oliver Twist with Mr. Bumble and both men fall on each other laughing. And then their eyes meet. Glen strokes the beard on Russell's chin. Now we see the sex.
Russell later reveals a little "art project" of his own. He always writes about every man he has sex with, and he opens his laptop to read a few excerpts. Much of it is sad. Earlier, one of Glen's friends told Russell that he must be special because Glen always lets her listen to his sex tapes but he wouldn't let her listen to this one. She also tells him about Glen's ex; a man who cheated on him and then was beaten up in a park. Glen is painted as being damaged by that relationship. It doesn't help that his friends aren't exactly supportive (they are taking bets that he won't go to Oregon). He calls his friends a noose around his neck. He wants to "redraw" himself, but "someone keeps hiding the pencil." Glen has a lot of anger inside. Will Russell manage to help him let some of it go and maybe even learn how to fall in love again?
Glen, outgoing and funny, helps Russell lose his fear of being out. Russell makes Glen realize that maybe he does want a relationship deep down and doesn't want to be alone. The impact that each has on the other is life changing. Their story is touching, heartfelt and honest. The ending is very emotional and these guys will break your heart.
Weekend made many straight movie critics' ten best lists; in fact I first heard of the film when Roger Ebert gave it a glowing review last year. It's heartening to see that our stories are now perceived by the mainstream as being just as universal as anyone else's. It's also worth noting that the DVD is a Criterion Collection release! There are gay-specific politics in Weekend (Glen: "We mustn't upset the straights") but inserted in such a way that the audience isn't hit over the head. Without relying on speeches, the director explores themes, like the different degrees of being out, simply through the realistic dialogue between the two lovers.
This is a beautifully constructed film. As I noted before, nothing and everything happens. The characters reveal themselves in layers organically as the story develops. Scenes near the end mirror scenes from the beginning. Much of the film is shot in long hand held camera takes, preserving the intimacy of the performance. The acting is superb, seemingly spontaneous and always convincing with never a false note. Cullen and New are just amazing together as Russell and Glen. Their easy going chemistry makes you totally believe the attraction between them. The emotional peaks are plentiful as well as the laughs. And, yes, the sex is hot too - romantic with lots of kissing. Weekend pleases on every level.
Weekend made me think of an iconic speech from Citizen Kane. Kane's old friend, the elderly Bernstein, tells a young reporter that Rosebud may have been some girl. When the reporter is skeptical, Bernstein tells him a story. "One day [as a young man] I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl." Russell and Glen will remember each other, and the weekend they spent together, for the rest of their lives. And you, the viewer, will never forget their short romance either.

The Battle for Truthby Gord Hume
As this will likely be my last column for 2016, I wanted to leave you with something to chew over the next little while, besides your Christmas turkey and cranberry sauce. And I would welcome your comments and thoughts.
I spent much of my career in the media, first as a really green and young reporter, then rising through management to become perhaps the youngest major market radio station GM to eventually President of a broadcasting company and Publisher of a newspaper.
I then spent four terms in office in municipal government, and as you know since then I've written six books on local government and give speeches around the world.
My concern, and the topic I want you to think about, is how municipalities are going to communicate effectively and honestly with their constituents in the future. In fact, how will any official government sources communicate in the future?
The context is this: the Oxford Dictionary declared its word of the year' to be "post-truth".
They define it as circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.
The trigger, obviously, was the US Presidential campaign over the past couple of years, although I don't think this conclusion is related strictly to American politics. While there has always been an awareness of the emotional content and trigger-words used by politicians, I can never remember in my time when fake and false information runs so rampant.
Many of the fingers of blame point directly to social media. A recent survey indicated that 44% of Americans get their news from wait for it Facebook. Lord help us. We also know now that Facebook published many stories during the election campaign that were simply completely and utterly untrue (the Pope endorsing Trump is just one of many examples).
The hate-filled venom that spews from blogs, tweets and commentary on social media is too often taken as fact. Recently, an intelligent young couple from Minnesota told me that nearly 50 people associated with the Clintons had been killed/murdered/disappeared; their source was social media conspiracy theorists, but they believed it fervently. There is, of course, no such evidence. It did, however, influence their voting.
As traditional media continue to decline in size and influence, governments are being put in a more and more difficult position about how to inform, educate and sometimes even influence their residents. The traditional requirements and practice for legal notices (say for a re-zoning application) may today be quite ineffective in reaching the target audience.
We are now seeing government policy and often important announcements being released on Twitter or other social media. President-elect Trump seems to prefer this method of delivery, although it is clear that accuracy and facts do not drive his tweets. It has the added benefit of not having to face media questions and scrutiny from a press conference, so politicians are off the hook' on some of their more controversial announcements. One of his favourite techniques while campaigning was to berate the media and the crowds would respond with roars of approval. Some even threatened reporters with violence to the point where some media outlets hired private security to protect their reporters.
Politically, candidates for public office are trying desperately to build their own data bases and long lists of followers on social media. Some of that is to raise money, some is to exert influence on their voting decisions, some is to spread information' and to get them talking to friends and family.
The battle for the truth has gotten much harder in recent years. The shrinking of the traditional media has meant fewer resources for investigative journalism and fact-checking. And even when statements by politicians are revealed to be incorrect lies, let's put it more succinctly as news organizations in the US did with the Presidential debates and the campaign, it just doesn't seem to make much difference.
If you extend this to other fields scientific research, or medical forums, for example who knows what, or even who, to trust anymore. Information is a commodity in the minds of some. It is just something to be sold or used or disseminated for purposes that may not always be in the public good. What is very clear is that using the Internet as a reliable source has very severe limitations that the upcoming generation doesn't seem to understand or, worse, care much about seeking facts and legitimacy in their information. "If it's on the web, it must be true!" Um, not so much.
At a time around the globe when we are seeing an explosion of right wing and hard-right sentiments and growing protectionist and nationalist policies and politicians, information and data and facts are a precious commodity in helping people to understand policies. The problem increasingly is the source; and who decides what information goes out, and how it will be edited or monitored.
I wrote years ago that municipalities must be the trusted source of information for their community; they must be the repository of unambiguous knowledge about that town or city. But even then I did not contemplate fully the vast social media empire that has emerged, with all of its fake information and biased commentary.
So here we are today as a North American society we are forced to have a conversation about whether the news we just read or the commentary we just heard is true or not. Not do we agree or disagree, or have a fair argument about the policy itself no, we first need to decide if we believe the basic premise and the supplier of that information.
What scares me is when people stop asking that question. Has there always been bias in the media? Of course. But the core was truth and accuracy, and the media fought hard to ensure that.
Today the information and communication worlds have changed. I don't know what is next in this battle for people's minds and attention, but it scares the heck of out me.
I would love to hear your views
And please accept my warmest best wishes for the Christmas season.

It may not be fair to call this the most overrated movie of 1936. Maybe at the time it was overrated – it did win the Oscar for best picture and Luise Ranier snagged her first of two consecutive Best Actress statuettes – but I don't think there are many who continue to admire it today. I have to think that the ill-advised nod from the Academy may still steer unsuspecting classic movie lovers to The Great Ziegfeld, but be forewarned. It is an overblown mess, devoid of emotion, historical context, or biographical information. The only things going for it are a couple of pretty good musical numbers and a few sincere performances.
Though intended as a biopic of legendary Broadway producer Florenz Ziegfeld (William Powell), we don't learn anything about the man we couldn't have learned from a blurb. It was a nostalgic trip for older viewers in 1936 who remembered the acts and shows Ziegfeld popularized from the 1890s to the 1920s, especially the Ziegfeld Follies. But the movie isn't any more ambitious than nostalgia, serving up one scene after another depicting how he discovered (or stole) his greatest hits like Anna Held (Rainer) and Fanny Brice (jollily played by herself).
There was a slew of much better movies that were better contenders for best picture. Any one from my list would do, but also others like Dodsworth and Show Boat (which Ziegfeld coincidentally produced on Broadway). This wasn't the first time the Academy flubbed it, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. They have rarely gotten it right, but they usually pick a movie that is at least good by some standard. This was one of their worst best picture choices and it's enough to make me wonder how the Oscars became so prestigious.

Concern over Oak tree - Heart 103.3:
More should have been done to look after and protect the oak tree in the middle of Midsummer Place Shopping Centre.
That's according to Milton Keynes councillor, Roger Bristow.
He claims that when the shopping centre was given planning permission one of the conditions was that the oak tree, known as the North Bucks Oak – and the only tree saved from the site that was Bradwell Common – should be fully protected and retained. That's one reason why the shopping centre isn't totally covered with a roof.
There are now concerns that the oak tree is dying – and a facebook group for people worried about the tree has even been set up with thousands of members. This year there have been very few leaves on the iconic tree.

OK noted. Mac address is wrong and g-sensor issues.
I'll look at them when I can but I haven't touched code related to either recently.
Just searched this thread and it seems Mac address was broken as of #5, so I suspect it's related to changes in the main tree. I'll look into it in more detail when I can.
Right now I need to chill and then sleep.

LeTama hastarin: what CM6 people can try is to rename acdb file, it should fallback to pre-patch behaviour
11:51 LeTama hastarin: something like default.acdb.bak for instance
LeTama hastarin: /etc/firmware, and depending on build it can be copied from /system/etc/firmware to /etc/firware.
I tried this and it worked out for me. thanks hastarin for looking into this Hope you dont mind that I stole it and posted it.
Hastarin, what's your card, and what's the cluster size of it? Can you make some Read/Write speed tests?
This post seems to be the answer to stuttering issue:
I had 32k clusters and and issues, then format to 8k and the issues are huge and ppp dont work almost never... Its broken really soon, the ppp connection. I might have to format to 64k. But in old kernel (N1) 8k plays music fine. So it seems that Evo Kernel dont deal very well with SD management... You have to got SD shining, when on old kernels no need to...
If you want to reproduce this issues just format your card with 8k or 4k clusters and preferebly on an old card.
