If a tuple is immutable then why can it contain mutable items?
It is seemingly a contradiction that when a mutable item such as a list does get modified, the tuple it belongs to maintains being immutable.
If a tuple is immutable then why can it contain mutable items? It is seemingly a contradiction that when a mutable item such as a list does get modified, the tuple it belongs to maintains being immutable. |
That's an excellent question. Tuples are characterized less by their immutability and more by their intended purpose. Tuples are Python's way of collecting heterogenous pieces of information under one roof. For example, Immutability goes hand-in-hand with another property, hashability. But hashability isn't an absolute property. If one of the tuple's components isn't hashable, then the overall tuple isn't hashable either. For example, The last example shows a 2-tuple that contains a string and a list. The tuple itself isn't mutable (i.e. it doesn't have any methods that for changing its contents). Likewise, the string is immutable because strings don't have any mutating methods. The list object does have mutating methods, so it can be changed. This shows that mutability is a property of an object type -- some objects have mutating methods and some don't. This doesn't change just because the objects are nested. Remember, immutability is not magic. It is just an object that is read-only (ie. it doesn't have any update methods). Hope, this was useful to you :-) | |||||||||
I'll go out on a limb here and say that the relevant part here is that while you can change the contents of a list, or the state of an object, contained within a tuple, what you can't change is that the object or list is there. If you had something that depended on thing[3] being a list, even if empty, then I could see this being useful. | |||
A tuple is immutable in the sense that the tuple itself can not expand or shrink, not that all the items contained themselves are immutable. Otherwise tuples are dull. | |||
That's because tuples don't contain lists, strings or numbers. They contain references to other objects.1 The inability to change the sequence of references a tuple contains doesn't mean that you can't mutate the objects associated with those references.2 1. Objects, values and types (see: second to last paragraph) | |||||||||||||
You cannot change the

First of all, the word "immutable" can mean many different things to different people. I particularly like how Eric Lippert categorized immutability in his blog post. There, he lists these kinds of immutability:
These can be combined in various ways to make even more kinds of immutability, and I'm sure more exist. The kind of immutability you seems interested in deep (also known as transitive) immutability, in which immutable objects can only contain other immutable objects. The key point of this is that deep immutability is only one of many, many kinds of immutability. You can adopt whichever kind you prefer, as long as you are aware that your notion of "immutable" probably differs from someone else's notion of "immutable". | |||||||||
As I understand it, this question needs to be rephrased as a question about design decisions: Why did the designers of Python choose to create an immutable sequence type that can contain mutable objects? To answer this question, we have to think about the purpose tuples serve: they serve as fast, general-purpose sequences. With that in mind, it becomes quite obvious why tuples are immutable but can contain mutable objects. To wit:
So you see, in order to fulfill their purpose, tuples must be immutable, but also must be able to contain mutable objects. If the designers of Python wanted to create an immutable object that guarantees that all the objects it "contains" are also immutable, they would have to create a third sequence type. The gain is not worth the extra complexity. | |||||
One reason is that there is no general way in Python to convert a mutable type into an immutable one (see the rejected PEP 351, and the linked discussion for why it was rejected). Thus, it would be impossible to put various types of objects in tuples if it had this restriction, including just about any user-created non-hashable object. The only reason that dictionaries and sets have this restriction is that they require the objects to be hashable, since they are internally implemented as hash tables. By note that, ironically, dictionaries and sets themselves are not immutable (or hashable). Tuples do not use an object's hash, so its mutability does not matter. | |||

description | Hello Good People! Being on holidays means more time to run the cars I worked on during the year. Nowadays, my weapon of choice is the Axial Wraith: tough, 'scale', amazing running time. So today, I went for a walk on this path in Côtes d'Armor (Bretagne, France). This is where I've spent most of my summers since I was born, and I have wandered this path many many times, but it was the first time I did it with an RC vehicle. I hope you'll enjoy those pictures I took on the way. |

Well, I maybe took a 100 shots to have these 10. But I took them with my phone, the one with the apple on it. Maybe I could invest in another rc...mmhhh

Awesome pics, and a very sexy wraith. The location is absolutely...I need a corona. Pictures are harder to take than most people think, I don't know about you but a photo shoot like that would take me at least 100 shots before I was satisfied. Maybe I should invest in a better camera instead of another rc....naaaaah.
04/08/2012 10:05:15
Great shots! I love the fastback mod and the big tyres, they give a unique and very cool look..
04/08/2012 00:11:01
Looks very cool, the Baja Claw's look perfect on there, I think I need one of these
03/08/2012 23:10:59
These are kinda fun, I have run mine a couple of times but really should use it more
03/08/2012 21:08:27
What an awesome place to have grown up in and still appreciate as an adult. Wow! A red Wraith would simply be a perfect trail buddy. Thank you for sharing Sayroll and those pics are superb! |

Your Partners In Success, Frank Jones & Lauryn Herbert Questions? Contact Us

Get started NOW and have your own automated advertising system TODAY! Wouldn't you like to be making money and bragging about your passive income within a week?
* Actual performance varies. The minimum system requirements are Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7), 512 MB of Ram, 5 MB of disk space, and the .NET Framework 4. I will provide a link in the download area to .NET Framework 4. In addition to those minimum requirements, do keep in mind that your computer may not have the RAM or the processing power to contact 30,000 Backpage recipients a week. Like any software, our software depends on the resources available on your computer... If you have a poor performing computer that is already low on resources, it will affect the performance of our Backpage advertising software. Ultimately however, even if you don't have a high-performance computer, you will still be able to contact more targeted prospects than you'd ever be able to do manually or by simply posting ads on Backpage.
**Hotspot Shield is no longer the IP rotator option that comes with this package. You can use any software you choose to mask your IP, but we prefer and recommend Hide My Ass

The Four "To Do's" Before You Ask For A Dime
1) Fact Sheets
Compile all pertinent information about your company. A sponsor wants to know if you are reputable. Also, they'll want to know as much about your event as possible, so if you've had a survey done make the information available. If you haven't you can estimate as long as you warn them that it is an estimation. They'll want to know number of years in existence, attendees, demographics etc to see if it reaches their target market. Here is the CSEME event information that clearly tells us what the event is all about.
Get an initial quote on your vision for the event and determine your shortfall.
This helps you set a goal for your funding campaign.
3) Create a Proposal
Outline benefits and deliverables that are attractive to sponsors. List all the things a sponsor may see opportunity in.
4) Determine Levels
Sponsorship recognition programs are most effective when they are simple, flexible, attractive and multi-tiered. Often sponsors name their levels. For example, Bronze, Silver and Gold. They assign a value to each level and treat monetary and non monetary donations similarly.
Make it easy for your sponsor to review and decide if this is something that they want to be a part of.
Sponsorship is Work
It's important to remember that sponsorship means more work especially the first year you implement your new strategy, however it does have rewards.
Sponsorship Application Form
Many suppliers create a form to identify an organizer's needs and what sponsorship recognition opportunities may be available. In any event its always advisable when pursuing sponsorship to:
- Keep a record of what was discussed
- Apply Early – Between October and April as we need time to review a request so if interested get your submission in early.
Opportunities For Sponsorship
Ultimately a sponsor wants their effort rewarded with future business. Marketing their products to potential customers may translate into a return on investment down the road.
- At Fundraisers there is obviously a lot of potential here, everyone loves a good cause. A company benefits from name recognition through positive community relations and publicity campaigns. We sponsor our fair share including the Heart and Stroke, Diabetes Association, Polo For Heart
- Festivals….. there's one in every neighborhood and for every culture.
- Sporting Events attract huge numbers, a marathon for example may have 5,000 or more participants alone.
- Tradeshows & Conferences are great especially if it involves a sponsor's targeted market and it's also very easy to determine.
- Corporate Events…. always great opportunity here for supply side sponsorship. Even single company events such as an Annual General Meeting has potential. At an AGM, a sponsor can market all company divisions at once to reinforce their brand and possibly find new opportunities within the same company. Other types of sponsors may want to come on board. What coffee service or printing service do you use, they may want to sponsor?
- and Parties, not often but we have even seen private parties sponsored in the past. I believe Vita Water sponsored a party during TIFF.
Both Sides Win
It's very important that everyone wins, otherwise it may not happen again. If the arrangement too heavily favours one party it doesn't work.
- Follow Through With The Agreement It's really unfortunate when one side doesn't live up to their end of the bargain. It's always a good idea for both sides to review the agreement, check off each item and inform the other that you have done so. All too often promises made aren't delivered due to time constraints.
- Value Added – No extra charge Value added is when a sponsor supplies equipment or services not bargained for and at no extra charge. This may be to promote the particular product or to demonstrate their "good will".
Depending upon the event particulars, equipment needs, and brand recognition opportunities you'll find that with sponsors your operating budget will go further, making your event more vital. You can be proud of the relations you've forged and the event that you have produced. Your suppliers will be working that much harder to ensure clean, quality, reliable products and ultimately your function will benefit from a whole new level of customer experience.
Please be sure to check back with us regularly for our Party and Tent Rental Information series.
Also, you won't want to miss some of our own events being profiled here in our Special Events Inspiration series.

Dig out your Drachma….you might need it.
It has been 2 and a half years since Europe's debt crisis erupted in Greece, but as authorities in Athens continue to struggle to form a government the country's exit from the Euro is becoming increasingly likely.
The EU maintains it wants to keep Greece in the Single Currency, although today's front page headline of Germany's most influential magazine, Der Spiegel, read "Acropolis, Adieu! Why Greece must leave the Euro" indicating Germany is coming to terms with a possible departure (by their own admission, they can't force Greece to remain within the member state). Opinion polls suggest the majority of Greeks want the same thing – yet they continue to vote for anti-bailout parties.
The fact is Greece is broke; a report last week by Bank of America Merrill Lynch claimed the country would run out of money by early July should creditors decide to withhold their next aid payment. Even if the next bailout is granted, any elected Greek government would need to propose new medium-term austerity measures and demonstrate savings of €11 billion next month!
So what if they do leave? A Greek departure is likely to cause worry amongst investors of withdrawal by other member states…..mocking a monetary union that by design was supposed to be irreversible. Bond yields will soar (Spain's 10yr bond yield is already well above 6%) and the Euro is likely to come under further pressure. EURUSD moved below $1.30 last week for the first time since January and EURGBP hit a 4 year low, testing 0.8000.
These are very uncertain times for Greece and indeed the Eurozone as a whole.

AEC in 2015? That speels trouble
There are only a couple of years left before an entire nation needs to gain proficiency in English and if the garbled wording assaulting the senses of pedants at every turn is anything to go by, there's work to be done ... although there are a few positive signs
- Published: 28 Oct 2012 at 00.00
- Newspaper section: Brunch
I am dedicating this column to the Watthana police because the men in skin-tight brown rescued me this week.
From what? A gang of post-pubescent teens on bikes as big as their pimples? A Pratunam market clothes vendor insisting that her three-sizes-too-small ''I Heart Bangkok'' T-shirt fits me fine?
Nothing of the sort.
Have you noticed the general malaise that's swept Bangkok over the last two weeks? I'm not kidding. The locals are down with a flu thanks to the ''change in weather'', while many of my expat friends are down with a general malaise that has swept the capital.
''I don't know, but I'm just lacking in energy,'' I have heard three times on three separate occasions this week. I am aware that three people cannot represent an expat population of 100,000 but hey, if Fox News can survey 20 people after the third debate and claim Romney to be president, why can't I do the same?
I'm feeling a little lacking in energy myself. I suspect it was brought on by coming down off the euphoria of not having a drink for nearly three months, something I wrote about with jittery fingers last week.
And when I get in a malaise, I see things. Not dead people. Spelling mistakes. Everywhere.
I wonder if you are aware that Thailand is in the grip of a terrible fear, owing to an impending date on the calendar that rocks the locals to the very core.
The whole world is gearing up for December, when, according to the ancient Mayan, or Aztec, or Klingon calendar - one of the three - the world is going to end.
I just called out to one of my assistants to Google that information and it turns out it is the final month of the ancient Mayan calendar. What - so we all die just because the Mayans got lazy when they reached the 21st century?
And since when did modern society start following the Mayans? The Gregorian calendar which we really use started on Feb 24, 1582, or exactly 400 years to the week before Olivia Newton-John topped the charts with Physical. This song fact has nothing to do with anything; the point is that the Mayan way of telling time was well and truly out of fashion before we started counting, let alone grooving to aerobic dance hits.
(And if the Mayans are right, then I wonder why I'm spending my valuable time tapping out a Brunch column when I could be running naked along the beaches of Chon Buri clutching multi-coloured scarves streaming behind me, as one does when the world is going to end, doesn't one?)
While the entire world shudders at our mid-December demise, the Thais couldn't care less. They have another date about which they are way, way more worried, and the big difference is - it's real.
That date is Jan 1, 2015, when their world as they know it is REALLY going to end.
That is the day when 10 nations around Southeast Asia are going to form the Asean Economic Community, or AEC. It's a little bit like the European Community without the euro crisis and great swathes of eurotrash communities.
English is to be the language of commerce and communication. Suddenly Thailand needs to be fluent in English. And she has two years and two months to get there.
I am sure there are Thais hoping that the Mayan prophecy comes true, thus ensuring the country doesn't succumb to its ultimate fate - because world calamity is more desirous than being bilingual.
There are many Thais genuinely concerned about this, as evidenced by the heavy workload I have had for the last year as government agencies and private enterprise realise they now have to get serious about English.
English has never been an absolute must in Thailand. This is a country which prides itself on never being colonised by a foreign power (the years 1942-1945 when Japan ruled the roost are overlooked; a European foreign power, dear reader!).
Things are different now. In 2015, AEC citizens will be able to freely work and move about the 10 countries. Entire villages of Filipino nurses and teachers are packing their belongings as we speak. They'll be able to live and work here alongside the Thais.
A recent survey ranked Thailand ninth out of the 10 Asean nations in English proficiency, just beating Laos. So how well prepared is Thailand?
If the official road signs on the way to Korat are anything to go by - abysmal.
This week I had a speaking engagement in Nakhon Ratchasima, a date which coincided with my driver contracting the flu (see?) at the last minute. I had to drive the 560km round trip myself, and was surprised to see just how many official English road signs on my way up - the official ones, not the hastily made ones for stalls selling fruit and roasted field mice - are misspelled.
At Saraburi, I passed a sign for a U-TRUN, for example, and that upset me. The WANG NOI HOSPITOL off-ramp just deepened my conviction that perhaps the Mayan prophecy may be a blessing for Thailand's superhighways.
Then there was the PHIMAI HISTORICAT PARK. A ''historicat''? Puss in Boots, perhaps, but Phimai?
There was a CHARP CURVE at one corner and then and this one that really nearly brought me to tears, being in a state of malaise:
Let me stop right here and say that such mistakes are not limited to Thais. Back home we Australians are hopeless spellers too.
We use apostrophes like we use condoms; when we remember to, but more often than not we don't, resulting in terrible mistakes.
I had an uncle whose sole purpose in life, when he wasn't practising law, was to root out errant apostrophes.
''COME ON AUSSIE'S!'' was one sign in the sports media that prompted my uncle to write one of his many letters to the local newspaper where I worked: ''Aussie's what?'' he asked; the letter was printed and I had to hide for a week lest somebody know I was related.
I thought he was being pedantic, but be careful what you think about, dear reader. Who would have thought I would grow up to be a pedant as well? Here I am, lamenting the fact my otherwise enjoyable, if rushed, journey into the Thai countryside last Tuesday would result in a deepening of my malaise, and a realisation Thailand will never be ready for the onslaught of the AEC.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Imagine how I felt when I got to the very last intersection of the journey, at Phra Khanong, when I casually glanced to the side of the road and saw this sign:
The precision! The accuracy! There is hope for Thailand yet.
Thank you, Watthana police, for rescuing me from my malaise.
As Asean approaches, we need to festoon Bangkok with such signs. Sure, the wording is a little tautologous - what else can I spit besides saliva and phlegm? - and I'm not sure why it's all in quotes, but it's a start, dear reader. A start.
Of course, Thailand will be prepared for Asean. The Thai spirit is strong and, when focused on a single goal, always rises to the occasion.
In fact if Thailand puts her mind to it there is nothing that can stop this country in its quest to be fluent in English.
Unless, of course, those pesky Mayans were right. Wouldn't that ruin everything?

Odors are usually not perceptible beyond the boundaries of the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant .
Occasionally, plant maintenance projects on odor control equipment will release odors that may be perceptible in neighborhoods surrounding the plant.
Environmental Services issues advance notices of maintenance projects that may result in odors outside the plant's boundaries.
December 3rd to the 17th we will be takeng digester #6 out of service as part of an ongoing project to upgrade the mixing capabilities of the digesters. Better mixing capabilities will promote a more productive digestion process and prevent mechanical equipment from experiencing premature wear and tear.
December 4th to the 5th we will be taking aeration basin #7 out of service to repair a break in the air line. This repair will ensure proper distribution of air into the biological treatment process and allow the air distribution system to run more efficiently.

It's actually a bit less since you're 1280 wide instead of the traditional 1k measurement of 1024. It's about 4am and I'm just getting in and in no shape for math dancing. I'll calculate it, but off the top of my head it's going to be around 5.2x I think. I'll update the charts reflecting that sometime tomorrow once I get some sleep.
A word to the wise about shooting 1k on both Epic and Scarlet. I spent several hours testing out the possibilities and potential of the new format. Black shade and shoot at the highest RedCode compression possible to obtain the best results. I would also favor lower ISO ratings for your shots and expose to the right when possible. At 2k and 1k the need for quality glass really shines through as well and many of the low to mid range still lenses are going to have difficulty producing pleasing results. Ideally it would be good to stop down 2 to 3 stops and achieve accurate critical focus.
Much of that information is approximately here:
I may make an updated chart with all of the new formats. I don't know if it's entirely needed as this gets you in the ball park for sure.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Police are blocking off Interstate 37 at Port Avenue for an 18-wheeler that went over the median and took out an overhead sign. A pickup truck collided with the rear-end of the large truck.
The souhtbound side of the interstate is blocked by the wreck. The northbound side is closed for the fuel spill cleanup effort.
According to the driver of the pickup, he was in the left lane while the 18-wheeler was in the middle lane. He admitted he lost control of his truck, hit the concrete barrier and veered into the 18-wheeler, which jackknifed.
The northbound lanes of I-37 are closed in the area. There's no word on any injuries to either driver.
An officer on the scene said a puntured diesel fuel tank leaked all over the roadway.
Officers called for a medic and a fire truck to assist with the fire which was quickly put out.
We recommend using Leopard St. or N.P.I.D. to Crosstown if you plan on heading to Downtown Corpus Christi.
A hazmat crew will have to cleanup the fuel leak, then a crane will need to lift the sign off the truck before it can be towed away.

text: Catherine Middleton's elegant sapphire engagement ring may have had us all buzzing about blue jewels of late, but now that the Royals have finally tied the knot we can focus on the real trend at hand: black diamond rings. Midnight diamonds are both understated and edgy, adding a touch of subversion to an otherwise demure ensemble. The chanteuse Janelle Monáe, looking stunning in her signature tux, at last week's Costume Institute gala, accented her look with a Chanel black diamond camellia ring studded with white diamonds. On the red carpet, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry and Abbie Cornish have also embraced the trend. "People have begun to notice them," says Fawaz Gruosi, founder and President of de Grisogono jewelry and a longtime black diamond aficionado. "The color is very modern in feel." You can opt for contrast with David Yurman's black and white diamond crisscross ring, or choose pure dark luster with an otherworldly hexagon ring from Azature. After all, black is to New York, what blue is to royal.

This dollhouse is WONDERFUL! We bought this for my oldest daughter when she was almost 3...she is now almost 6 and still plays with it every day. We will be upgrading my youngest daughter (almost 3) from the toddler version of this house to this house for Christmas this year.There are many room sets and they make perfect ideas for relatives to give to our daughters for gifts.We haven't had one piece, part, or accessory break! AWESOME PRODUCT!

I am one that does my research before I buy any product, I don't want to have to go and return an item, especially after Christmas. So I set out to find a dollhouse for my three-year-old. I originally wanted a wooden one, but they are extemely expensive. I came across the loving family dollhouse, read the reviews and decided to buy it. I LOVED all the little accessories that you could buy for the dollhouse...they are really cute!However, when the dollhouse was taken out of the box Christmas morning I was shocked at how cheap the dollhouse looked. I tried to get over it, but as we started to put the dollhouse together we kept coming across small areas that were broken. For example, the area where the porch attaches on was a little disfigured, but we were still able to get it on. I was okay with one little thing not being perfect, but the further we got along in putting the house together the more broken pieces we came across. Eventually I decided enough was enough and returned it. The dollhouse was already falling apart and my daughter hadn't even played with it. Thankfully, my daughter wasn't too attached! I must put in that I was very pleased that Toys R Us completely refunded all my money.You have to take all these reviews with a grain of salt, but honestly if you are going to spend the amount of money that is required on this dollhouse; I, would say save it and get something that isn't plastic! I went out and bought a wooden one, I spent twice as much on it as I did for the Loving Family, but atleast I know it won't break so easily.

Cute dollhouse

About Me Grandparent
Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Fisher-Price Loving Family Grand Dollhouse:
This is a very cute dollhouse - perfect for my 4 year old granddaughter. I was disappointed that additional decor items were not available in the Toys R Us store. The house did come with a dining room but I had to go online to find furniture for the rest of the rooms in the house. Not a big deal, I would have just preferred to buy everything at once.

Seriously, it's GREAT
By ES

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I bought this two Christmases ago for my then 3 and 1 year old daughters. It was great then, and it's STILL great. They use it all the time. I kept some of the smaller pieces set aside until recently for choking reasons, but now that they are out it's like Christmas all over again. The assembly is pretty painless, and the thing is sturdy. Like, my toddler kept sitting on the fold out rooms sturdy. Get this. You won't be sorry. It is by far their least annoying toy. Haha. :P
My one year old loves this

Very Adorable!
By Busy Mom
from PA
My 3 1/2 year old daughter got this dollhouse for Christmas. She loves it and especially the furniture and Loving Family people that come with it. She absolutely loves the twin babies. The house has multiple rooms for displaying the different pieces of furniture. It is a pretty good size dollhouse. Very easy to set up.
My kids love it
By Casey
from Long Island, Ny
I bought this for my older daughter when she was 2, which was 4 yrs ago. Now my 21 month old daughter plays with it, and she absolutely loves it! It is still in great shape after 4 yrs. The accesories are adorable, the details are so cute, right down to the toilet brush attached to the toilet. A few things are annoying, like the staircase pops off a lot, and the rooms are a little small for the furnisher, but my daughter doesn't care at all. The only thing i would change is that the bottom rooms on the sides of the house are hard to use due to the columns in the way, but my daughter puts cars in them like a garage! Also, if you have all of the furnisher it is not easy to fold it up, as you can't fit everything in it...so we just leave it open. All in all it's a great product that has given us many yrs of use...my little one will play with it for an hour straight..and does so almost daily, so I highly reccomend it!
By Happy Mommy
from Long Beach, NY
I have twin 9yr old girls that asked for a doll house for Christmas. My mother in law has an old Fisher Price doll house that they love to play with, which is what prompted me to look at Fisher Price for this purchase. The kids love it, they play with it every day. The only reason that I did not give this five stars is that I wish it had come with a few more dolls and/or accessories. Otherwise, quality / size / etc. are great. Very satisified with this!
It was ok

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
The house was a wonderful buy until you started to place the furniture in, the furniture is way to big for this doll house, and I shop at many stores to get find the furniture for it and when I was puttig it in I was like Oh Wow this looks horrible. For anyone that is looking for a good sturdy doll house this is for you just do not buy all the furniture like I did.

Love Dollhouse but not customer service
By Stacy
from Alpharetta, GA
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My little girl loves the dollhouse but I am very disappointed in the customer service. I contacted Toysrus after purchasing some furniture for this dollhouse but never heard back from anyone. I ordered two items because you guys were running a sale buy 2 get 1 free. Well, later I get an email saying one was not available so you guys charged me full price for the 2 items and I never got a third item for free. I should be able to order a different item if the one I wanted was out of stock. Please advise what you can do to make this right.
What a great toy!
